As others have said, Yahoo Japan is a separate company (that shared technology with Yahoo US).

They also moved to Google search results after Yahoo gave up and started using Bing results around 2010, which probably helped them maintain market share (since the Yahoo search transition to Bing was a clusterfuck).
> Buy jewelry and fancy things for yourself.

Ugh, "awesome life advice". Treating yourself well doesn't necessarily involve buying things. Consumer culture really is quite insidious. No, I don't need some friggin jewelry to be happy or have a happy life. I don't need to buy my partner a $<too_high> diamond ring.

Treat yourself well by investing in what you actually use- a quality bed, quality pillow, quality shoes, quality clothes, quality tools. You don't need many things to be happy, just a few quality ones. The rest is better served as life experiences like traveling, etc.
SEVEN VASTU TIPS FOR Your HEALTH
It's fairly less popular (it might have to do with high price) but nowhere near 'marginal'[0]: http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/58d04a02112f701f008...

It's also supposedly (I can't remember where I heard that, some tech channel on YT) the only non-Chinese brand that's popular at all in China.

I doubt the buyer would do that with this piece. It's too expensive and one-of-a-kind to stash away. If you're buying artwork just as an investment to stash away, you'd probably buy many much smaller pieces rather than a headline grabbing one.

I'd bet that this will be hanging in someone's billionaire's living room somewhere (hopefully behind some protective glass). These guys have egos. Saying you own the most expensive piece of artwork ever gets you something that money can't buy (even though you did buy it).

I disagree. I does not have to be unmaintainable. The difference between chaining map/filter and a single reduce is mostly a syntax transformation plus a little bit of thinking upfront:

;; N.B.: Code was written here in a comment and never tested.
;; It might need some of those: ')))))'
(flet ((filter-element (element bucket)
;; all (filter...)s of your chain here
)
(mutate-element (element bucket)
;; apply all your (map...)s here
))
(defun distill-magic (essence element)
(if (not (filter-element element essence))
essence
(cons (mutate-element element essence)
essence))))

The hard part is sometimes to reformulate the chain in a way that you only filter on either pre- or post-mutation data. If you can't, your most probably using the wrong algorithm. But fixing that, if it requires serious thinking, is something I defer to the moment it actually matters. I now can, because it is neatly encapsulated in a single, local function definition.

And yes, of course I can inspect intermediate results in a debugger: Just trace distill-magic or set a break point.

Do you have a Dell XPS 13 (any version)? Because I do (a 9343), and I don't have any of the problems you listed above - in fact, I spend far less time managing my laptop since I switched to Ubuntu. I started off with 14.04 then switched to 16.04 and I upgraded to an 4.9 LTS kernel in January. That's about it.

I have no issues with battery life, wifi, or BT or anything else. The first ~6 months of 2014 was a rough ride, because the hardware was so new there was no proper support for it in the kernel, but the team @ Dell managed to upstream all the required stuff, so depending on their custom Ubuntu release is no longer necessary. Everything should just work out of the box.
> demanding opening the source code once security updates for the device stop

Copyright law is not in agreement with this. Reasonably, a manufacturer could argue that follow up installments of the software are still actively sold. Then one question is why the fixes wouldn't be ported back to the old release and I guess because differences in the code require significant effort to adapt the fix.

Regulation should seek to equalize ...

This is not easy if a chain of bugs in different programs is used to create an exploit. And it would be damaging to warranty wavers especially in open source. After all, the server side will likely run full fledged open source stack. This is where service providers step in. Google would probably like to do monitoring and instrumentation as a service, among others.

"When people train, they usually don’t try to actually run faster or lift heavier weights. As a relatively healthy computer science professor, how fast I run or how much I can lift is of no practical relevance. "

This is really strange. If you don`t try to lift heavier weights you will not have progress. It is called progressive loading. I don`t wan`t to go into the details of the training, but if you do not track and improve your training (with whatever goal you have in mind, there are different kinds of progressions) you are the same as the programmer who write bad code, and knows it is bad, but does not care.
That's exactly what I'm saying. The writers of the Bill of Rights took the general concept of Free Speech and debated it, resulting in a concrete implementation in the form of the First Amendment.

Even if the kids are actually interested, that's a paltry amount of time actually spent practicing English. Very few people understand this so private academies continue to be a big industry.

Wow. I think that implies all the ANSI Windows APIs will be able to use UTF-8 as well. Native UTF-8 support is something that Windows developers have wanted for years. I thought it was impossible because of some API limitation where it assumed multibyte characters could only be three bytes long, but maybe this assumption has been removed.

EDIT: So I just tested this. It does seem to affect the ANSI Windows APIs: https://0x0.st/siCS.png

Unfortunately, this doesn't mean the average Win32 program will be able to start using UTF-8 internally, since the ANSI codepage is a system-wide setting, so you won't be able to opt-in to UTF-8 per-process (at least, I don't think this is possible.)
I ask because one solar mass worth of energy sounds like ... a lot. At least to me as an astronomical layperson.

It’s a ridiculously large amount of energy. Someone might want to check my numbers, but a standard candle Type 1A supernova releases ~2x10^44 Joules. 1 Solar mass energy is equivalent to roughly ~2x10^47 Joules. So this black hole merger is about 1000x times the energy released by an ordinary supernova. And there’s nothing ordinary about a supernova, pace https://what-if.xkcd.com/73/

And? So did PHP 5.x. So do all languages. That's what I mentioned with "baby steps".

You can run PHP3, PHP4 and PHP5 projects with little or no change at all, code dating back to 1990s with PHP7. If you cared a bit and adjusted your code over the years, most changes are announced many versions ago and got deprecated. E.g the original MySQL API had been deprecated for a decade or so years, and only got removed with v7, yet it's easy to update the code to the newer APIs, as it was possible since early 2000s, when the newer API got introduced and stayed unchanged since then. And you could use a shim too.

PHP and Java (and several other languages) have really kept an eye on backwards compatibility, you cannot deny that or paint it in another light.

Even if you had this specific information, it wouldn't answer your question. It would mostly serve to re-enforce the beliefs you came in with, because you also need to look for other factors which might explain the housing increases.

For example, in another part of this thread I quoted a news article as saying "Prices have also been pushed up since a law change in 2013, allowing private individuals to charge tenants based on their mortgage costs rather than comparable rent prices in the neighbourhood." How much of an effect has this had in the rents in 2014-2016?

You appear to be young person, so you personally are likely in the same housing market at the refugees. This can make it seem particularly dire for you as most of the new housing being built is for a more expensive part of the market.

So, why is the new housing built for a more expensive part of the market?

Another factor which is harder to plan for and which affects the housing market is internal migration. Just like in the US, smaller towns and cities in Sweden are depopulating as people move to the bigger ones, where there is a stronger economy.

Was that planned for, and how much of effect has that had on housing prices in the big cities?

Furthermore, as https://www.thelocal.se/20170205/swedens-urban-rural-divide-... points out, "It is primarily young people leaving". This is again the population which is in the same housing market as most of the refugees.

Finally, here's a quote from an article from 2009 titled "Sweden risks facing severe labour shortages" / "Over the next ten years, the number of native-born Swedes of working age will decline by 100,000. Without more immigrants, we will be unable to sustain our welfare standards, writes Olle Wästberg, head of the Swedish Institute." https://www.thelocal.se/20091222/24004

> Almost all Swedish regions have set population targets that emphasise growth. The Greater Gothenburg area wants to have a population of 1.5 million in just ten years’ time. Stockholm wants to have 600,000 more inhabitants over the next 20 years.

Was enough housing built to meet the desired growth goals?
Although the Wikipedia page may say Web 2.0 was about user generated content and tagging, from a web dev point of view it was about building rich interfaces and using XHR to update content without a full page refresh. Full size images had nothing to do with it.

My point is that JavaScript has it place in modern web dev, and saying we should just get rid of it is ridiculous, and not what this article says at all.

Gmail won for many reasons, but usability was a big part of it, and it wouldn't be possible to even auto-complete an email address without JavaScript
I applaud the work that went into this!

But at the same time I feel sad for the state of science where working code is still not considered part of the paper, so the code is almost never published, let alone published as Free Software for other scienists (and hobbyists) to tinker with it, to fix it, to improve it, and to adapt it.

For example, why isn't it possible for everyone interested to let Leela Zero play against AlphaGo Zero, on their own hardware (or their university's hardware)?
Here is the link to the original statement of the BaFin: https://www.bafin.de/SharedDocs/Veroeffentlichungen/EN/Facha...

> the touchpad is too big for my opinion

You won't notice it though and will be glad of the size when you do. I LOVE the bigger touchpad on the newer Macbooks (but its about the only thing about it I love. Keyboard is absolute dirt, as you said, no USB-A is ridiculous given that all of my devices are USB-A, the touch bar is useless and virtual function keys on touch bar are a very poor substitute for real function keys... but the touchpad size really isn't an issue, you can use how much or little as you like and the palm rejection works perfectly)
Your reasoning seems to be coming from an assumption that there should be an underlying ethical reason for this; that there is, in fact, some common ethical ground that could possibly be enforced on all of humanity for the greater good.

> If you don`t try to lift heavier weights you will not have progress.

That depends on what you're aiming for - if you're aiming for tone rather than bulk, you'd go for more reps of the same weight rather than stepping up the weight with the same reps, wouldn't you?

(Although I guess, technically, that does count as "heavier" since you're still moving more weight in your sets.)

So glad to see that they've implemented this algorithm in JS! https://github.com/atom/teletype-crdt

I've tried implementing a very similar algorithm (one could say it's the same approach) in the beginning of this year, but had one remaining issue with concurrent overlapping deletions that I couldn't figure out (and the paper I was basing the algorithm on didn't account for it: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1474034616...): https://github.com/jure/rgass

Weihai Yu's implementation does account for it, however: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2660398.2660401 , but his implementation is in Lisp, and I've never had the stamina to work through it for that one edge case.

Kudos to the team at GitHub, I'll be studying this implementation closely.

Wasn't it just last week we saw articles on the front page almost every day about how we can't trust information from the Internet because Facebook and Google are big lying spying monopolies and sell clicks to anyone and don't responsibly curate like they are supposed to and we should all go back to reading the newspaper to get the real facts on life? Ya, pretty sure that was the gist of them. Anyway, hopefully my boss didn't read any of those. We'll just leave him believing that data mining and scraping and twitter sentiment analysis have super secret powers to reveal the hidden truth about the world.
That's a nice thought, but I think we're beyond that stage. The web is a lot more centralised today. Google and FB aren't routing around government restrictions in 2019, not the EU's, Turkey's... They may actively object on certain one sided moral issues (eg anti-gay) stuff, but they'll do what's legal or advisable in most cases. They're being normative companies.

Ultimately regulations tend to favour large incumbents.
