Progressives like to think they're the only ones who care about that when, in reality, everyone except the strictest libertarian wants all of those things.

What frustrates me personally is the inability of many progressives to rationalize anything other than Marxist/socialist means for those ends and then act as if everyone who doesn't believe in those means doesn't share those end goals.
A few years back, I decided I wanted to try out Linux after finally getting tired of Windows (which I'd used all through school). I bought a Thinkpad X200 for $65 on eBay. I had Linux up and running on it in an hour, and used it happily until I bought my 2013 11-inch Macbook Air (which for my money is the perfect machine in terms of form factor, I'll use it until it dies). Thinkpads are impressive machines.

If that was true, you should see significant differences between religions. And at the same time very little differences within religions.

Not following you. The Decalogue exists in Judaism, Christianity and in Islam. The Decalogue, and marriage, are indeed extremely recent social constructs.

I'm not promoting religion - I despise any form of it. I merely posit religion as being the source of humanity's prudishness (something the rest of nature does not share).
Article aside, an Empire that manages to last hundreds of years (1100+ in their case, and even more depending how you calculate it) must've been doing quite a few things right.

Imagine how many enemies, crisis and emperors they had to go through, yet they survived for a very, very long time.
If you compare it with Chrome it's hard to say. But if you just want to use Firefox (because speed is not everything), the difference between 57 and 56 is huge. I spent 15 minutes just opening sites at random to enjoy the speed :).

On the other hand, the addons took a big hit, most of my addons aren't supported anymore. And it seems that everybody is searching for equivalents, as http://addons.mozilla.org/ seems to throw nginx errors right now.
Visual Studio Live Share gives you pair programming without the shared keyboards
I miss Tab Mix Plus (pleeeease make a web extension version!) but Firefox is one of the few open software projects which actually puts a ton of effort into interface design and I can appreciate that. I clicked on the wrong side maybe twice but I do get why you'd put the refresh button to the left side, if nothing else, to establish a common interface language with how Chrome and Edge do it. They have smart UI guys and even if they can still fuck up here and there you can really feel they're taking this seriously and the result is a browser experience that doesn't feel like whatever the UI-equivalent of "programmer art" is.
Well there's word2vec, which while it isn't quite the same (its whole point is the vector classification it already embodies), I think is actually the kind of think you were asking for.
To answer your question: historically, the primary benefit to marriage was to ensure a stable household for the raising of children and for the economic wellbeing of the resulting family. It was often a pragmatic arrangement instead of a romantic one.

Now days marriage for some has become a declaration of longer-term romantic love.

I got to see them live with NIN I think in 2009 or 2010 (NINJA tour reunion or something like that), and despite being in a huge venue in Irvine, their stage presence was amazing. One of the best I've been. Great band.
I purchased my Precision 7510 almost 2 years ago and it has been a great experience with almost every Linux distribution I tried. Battery life (with a few tricks) is almost 9 hours and performance are astonishing. The only downsides are the weight and the keyboard... for those reasons I recently tried and bought a Thinkpad T470 but I am now really missing the P7510 power and speed
I got myself an "n Series" Vostro in 2012 that came with Linux. Served me well for several years.
I kinda agree. A few key things missing in FF that I need:

* selecting CSS colors in other colorspace (eg. RGBA) as oppose to just hex

* throttling the network in desktop mode. I think the option just shows up in responsive design mode.

Although I dont think Chrome is "vastly" superior at this point as FF has certainly narrowed the gap.

> I've tried the Firefox inspect menu and I'm just immediately turned off and confused..

I remember feeling the same when I switched from Firebug to Chrome. It takes a few days to get used to a new UI.

The other side of this is if you're on mobile data and they decide to resize the images on the client then people will complain about the app eating up battery life because it's using so much CPU to resize the images. Plus, they won't have the full size image to share with people you may be chatting with on desktop. If you want to not use so much data while uploading images then you should probably resize them yourself or just not upload images unless you're on wifi.
Yes I have, there was no response to it and it was recently closed, I believe.

That's an excellent observation. IIRC, back in 1996 there were still radio ads along the lines of "And available online at w-w-w-dot-c-n-n-dot-com or AOL keyword CNN" (or, worse yet, some that added h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-w-w-w-dot...).

I'll try to avoid stewing on the fact the CEO where I work is very hands-on with our website, despite never using the web. It's 2017 and he has every button replaced with beveled images of buttons...

EDIT: to reconcile "very hands-on with our website" and "never uses the web", I should specify that he orders changes to the website via the following process: 1) has someone print out the website 2) that gets faxed to him 3) he writes on it with a sharpie 4) that gets faxed back 5) that fax gets scanned 6) resulting scan gets emailed to the web design guy.

The government could lamely argue that a lot of tax money is being left on the table as options are only exercised when sold or leaving a company, if at all. Exercising can trigger a tax burden, if an Inceptive Stock Option (ISO), because of alternative minimal taxes. Although, I didn’t like the proposal, it would have simplified taxation of stock options.
Rust ensures that while one thread is accessing a datastructure that no other thread will modify it. It does this by only allowing you to have either one mutable or multiple readonly references to a datastructure. Code marked unsafe could violate this, which is why it should be rare and well reviewed.

I was also trying desperately to dump chrome, and the only thing stopping me was cpu usage. That seems to be fixed in this version.
I hugely applaud this step. I do think that there is in fact some injustice going on here and that's why crazy legislation like this can make it that far. The real problem is that capital gains get taxed lower than ordinary income. It's not right that most of a CEO's income gets taxed lower than his secretary's. Unfortunately it seems nobody has the balls to address that.
Your point cannot be under-emphasized! We would not have the classical Greek literature (& science, to the degree they were different) in the west today without the Arabs scholars. They also brought Hindu digits and mathematics (which we, tellingly, refer to as "arabic digits") to the west.

> The same people might be scourging for hours on ubuntuforums because Ubuntu filled up their /boot partition with obsolete kernels and won't boot anymore. But its still perceived as "stable".

This is totally unacceptable. I started using ubuntu in production thinking it was "stable". After 6 months, the server wouldn't boot because of this reason. I don't think I ever manually installed updates. It just updated itself and broke itself.
I can't make it to show a dropdown arrow in the URL box like any normal dropdown would, at the far right of the box, always at the same place. They moved the arrow to somewhere randomly in the middle, depending on the icons inside of the URL box. Somehow these icons are more importan to them?

It seems their developers don't use that arrow? Or is it because Chrome doesn't have it? I'm not using Chrome, but it seems the FF developers do, if true.

It has 24 low-end 64 bit cores, and up to 64 GB of RAM, dual ethernet, PCIe, ...

It's a bit of an odd board because those cores will be very slow, and I guess they're hoping to make up for it by having lots and lots of them. That didn't (IMHO) work well for the Cavium ThunderX, but I guess it will come down to price (supposedly "under $1000" which is many times more than an RPi, and many times less than an Amberwing).
A point of history, per se: in this case, the terms were originated on the white side as slurs, and later they are used by each group to offend the other.

C++ gives you an embarrassment of footgun riches above and beyond what C provides. On the other hand, idiomatic modern C++ also deftly avoids many of the C pitfalls. e.g. You don't ever touch new, delete, or raw pointers — instead favouring RAII-based smart pointers, and references. You avoid arrays in favour of vectors. This style (as opposed to old-school C-with-classes C++) is way more productive, and way safer.
I've decided to make Firefox my main browser after yesterday's discussion. Migrating from Chrome was relatively painless:

* Firefox could import my bookmarks and, equally important, most passwords without a problem.

* Firefox's syncing capabilities seems to sync everything that's important.

* There's a built-in dark theme, people! It isn't applied to empty tabs, though.

* You can customize the toolbar. Not nearly as powerful as Opera's visual editor but better than Chrome's.

* Many plugins haven't been ported to 57.

* It uses a lot of RAM. I only have two tabs open and 5 plugins active yet Firefox uses 500 MB. Doesn't really bother me because I can sacrifice RAM for performance.

* The unified address/search bar is better than Chrome's because it actually consistently searches your bookmarks and not randomly like Chrome. Also, because you can add metadata to your Firefox bookmarks, you can add synonyms and what not to make searching for bookmarks even more powerful.

* I absolutly love that Firefox makes it possible to create custom search engines via the context menu. Also, you can easily add shortcuts to specific bookmarks? Brilliant.

At Lucid (https://www.lucidchart.com), we've used a home-grown solution that stores the versioned source maps in S3, and decodes the stack traces server-side and adds it to the original trace in the logging system. Plus caching the decoding.

We've looked at Sentry and might use that. They offer hosted and open-source on-prem solutions.

"Rust competes for mindshare with C++ and D for programmers who are prepared to accept more complex syntax and semantics (and presumably higher readability costs) in return for the maximum possible performance. For example, micro controllers, AAA game engines, and web rendering engines.

I regularly have >50 tabs open, so I find not difficult to believe somebody could have hundreds of tabs.
I also have a working BeBox (dual 133 MHz 603e, 32 MB RAM), but I’m a bit concerned about the IDE drive (640MB). The CD-ROM drive doesn’t work very reliably anymore either, unfortunately. I even have some peripherals I soldered together for the GeekPort way back in 1997-1999.

Beautiful machine. Wonderful operating system. Pity they were so inept commercially. That said, I was also a NeXT user, and I’m convinced that Apple wouldn’t have returned to the forefront if they had chosen “Plan Be” instead of the Steve Jobs option.
I think it was more to do with soaring interest rates. I remember it all rather well as I had just bought my first house.

> It is seriously gross that a tax reform bill that is by basically all accounts enormously, even proudly regressive is being sold to tech nerds with a marginal improvement in stock options accounting.

> Here's a fun detail of the GOP tax plan: it will, according to Senate leadership, include a repeal of the ACA's individual mandate, which is the foundation on which guaranteed-issue health insurance works.

> Prior to the ACA, if you or anyone in your family had, in any previous doctor's visit, been assessed/documented as having any symptom of a very long list of disqualifying conditions, you couldn't buy individual-market insurance at any price. It was simply unavailable to you. There is no due process or meaningful appeal to these decisions, which were made mechanically and in bulk. How do I know? Because half my family --- none of whom suffers from any chronic conditions (or, really, any conditions whatsoever) turned out to be uninsurable when we started Matasano.

Repealing the individual mandate doesn't remove the requirement that insurers cannot discriminate based on pre-existing conditions.

If you want to argue about the economics and sustainability of the overall market without a mandate forcing increased participation then go right ahead, but don't make false claims about what's being included in the repeal.

Yeah, when you look at some of the SemEval contest winners or top 3, many use fairly simple methods combined into a powerful solution (except when LSTM with attention grabs the throne).
There will be some crossover since Go's AOT compilation and low latency pause times will make some things that needed to be done in C++ or Rust viable in Go.
Yeah, you said it. I don't know who is in charge of changing the theme and UI every major release but this time they've out done themselves.

I don't usually like to customize but it's mandatory now.
I think you're hitting an interesting point here. In my experience, there are two kinds of NPEs:

1) On a method call somewhere in a stack with no null checks: here it's not very useful to have an NPE, since it should work (eg. there's no null checks, so why should it fail?).

2) `Objects.requireNonNull(o)` (or an explicit through). This indicates that a pre-condition is that the object should not be null. These tell that the fault is in the preceding call stack, therefore you don't even need to understand what the underlying one is to know where the error is coming from.

Although all types are nullable in Java, I don't expect _everything_ to be null-checked. Nullable types in Rust stand out, therefore should be matched or checked. If I have a panic due to a naked `unwrap()`, either there's a documented pre-condition and the system isn't recoverable (hence the crash), or the error handling is missing and I know what to do.

Hence `unwrap()` is similar to (2), which are useful panics.

Hi there,

I am one of the creators of Plane Finder 3D.

Plane Finder 3D is the latest of our creations. We are a small team of 4 based in the UK and created the first flight tracker for iOS back in 2009!

The new AR (ARKit) mode just looks so awesome! . We use our network of thousands of ADS-B receivers around the world to feed this app it's data. You can project the airspace onto a coffee table or anything flat actually (moving car roofs are not recommended!).

All you do is then move your iPhone/iPad around and you can zoom around the "sky" with your device!
You can see more info at https://planefinder.net/3D/

Hope you like it!
Universal basic income is a great idea, which is also why it won't happen
It's supposed to support FIDO U2F devices, but I'm unable to log into my Google or Github accounts like I do in Chrome. I'm not sure if it's on their end or Firefox's.

I get that it's an edge case, though. Has anyone else noticed this or looked into it?
I didn't notice a difference between 56 and 57.
Yes gross. $80k gross is around $53k net (depends on where you live but roughly).
Now, remember that reason we are in this mess is because interest rates are so low. We still have pretty low living costs. Our $1M house at 80% is pretty cheap, due to low interest rates. Now, everyone knows interest rates can and will be higher in the future, but people have to buy on the current market regardless (And everyone seems to accept to have less spending money when interest rates double or triple).

The calculation now for our couple with $100k household net income isn't all that bad. The monthly "rent" for the house is between $2k and $3k of which $1.2k is down payment ($24k-36k year). Double the interest rates from 2% to 4% and it's $3k to $4k/month. I think spending over 50% your net income on living costs is proabably a limit to look out for - and that will certainly happen to these people should interest rates go north of 5% or there about. We also need to remember that in Sweden people generally don't save up for a rainy day. I'm not saving for retirement, kids edication, risk of being ill etc. So in a nanny state the equation is slightly different than in say the US.

> Which sane person who is good with money does that?

It doesn't matter so long as it is at least one person in the auction for each house does it. If there are no homes to rent and nothing is built, there will be competition for the existing homes on the market.

> not unrealistically, an underwater house during your lifetime

This is definitely a risk. And banks are now lending less and less. With a 25% down payment the bank will know the hose can take a 25% correction and still be over water.
But the scary bit is of course that if there is a 20% correction, no one can move, and no one will consume anything for a very long time, which will lead to pretty significant economic fallout.
It looks like thumbor is built on a Python stack similar to what Discord was using in their original service. What makes you say they didn't consider it or benchmark it against their previous service and make the decision that it wasn't as good as they needed?
I've been wanting to get back on Firefox for quite some time now, but the main thing holding me back was that all of my passwords were saved on Chrome. A few months ago, I moved to 1Password, so this is the perfect time to give it a real try!
In that case, my apologies to GitLab. I assumed from the comment ("our media contact") that this was a GitLab employee. Thanks.
