Chrome's V8 engine was actually written from scratch, unlike Webkit's JavaScriptCore (which descended from Konqueror/KJS, as you say). Google made a big deal about marketing this fact at the time. (1)

And while yes, Mozilla's Spidermonkey comes from the Netscape days, and Chakra in Edge descends from JScript in IE, plus aforementioned JavaScriptCore, each of those engines still evolved massively: most went from interpreted to LLVM-backed JITs over the years. I suspect that no more than interface bindings remain unchanged from their origins, if even. ;-)

(1) I can't currently find the primary sources from when Chrome released on my phone, but here's a contemporary secondary one: https://www.ft.com/content/03775904-177c-11de-8c9d-0000779fd...)

My understanding is that it's not forbidden (wormholes would explicitly allow FTL travel, for example), but that in Einstein's model, FTL travel or communication would break causality, because it would effectively allow one to send messages into one's own past.

That may seem like "equivalent to forbidden", but some of the interesting surprises of quantum physics were originally theorized by Einstein and company as a way to disprove quantum physics because they were clearly too weird to be true. Maybe not as weird as "Oh, you thought an event's cause had to precede its effect? LOL.", but bizarre and non-intuitive nonetheless.
What will be interesting is what happens if/when this happens in the US with counterfeit parts sold by Amazon. Amazon through their comingling of inventory is playing fast and loose with the safety of its customers.

> Housing prices falling while consumer prices hold steady isn’t deflation.

We're both handwaving here, but Wikipedia says: "In economics, deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services. Deflation occurs when the inflation rate falls below 0% (a negative inflation rate)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflation

The inflation rate is given by a price index which typically includes housing. If housing prices fall while everything else holds steady, that index has nowhere to go but below 0%.

I realize that this is distinct from a systematic deflationary spiral that affects the entire economy. The point was, some people might only look at the inflation rate, see it's below 0, and start panicking and doing stuff to "prop up" prices instead of letting people profit from affordable housing.
> 1Password X was designed for our hosted 1Password service and connects directly to your account.

Agilebits/1Passwords continued shoving of their 'hosted' services down their customer's throats amazes me. I'm not even particularly against SaaS/cloud/hosted/subscription/whatever, except a password manager is exactly the type of product that I do not want in that type of environment. Is it really impossible to have a successful software business without this BS? I guess I am in the minority but I would much rather you charge me more for the software or charge me for the upgrades, than push me into your hosted cloud-subscription stuff.

Agilebits/1Password was by far the best product out there, with astonishing goodwill amongst their customer base, which they have managed to lose, not to competitors or outside forces, but rather by incinerating it themselves.

The cable shouldn't be carrying mains voltage at all. It's USB; isn't that low enough current to be mostly harmless?
Does this require full internet access or can this work peer-to-peer for developers working behind the firewall.

This is a good article in my opinion but it just requires context, situational application, and some reading between the lines.

#1 is certainly true and is good to be aware of. CS doesn't usually see this, but many physical sciences do see it.

#2 I didn't know was a myth, so I'll be conveniently ignoring that one.

#3 is absolutely true, but as others have mentioned is not very applicable to individuals who will usually go to the best school they can get into and afford. However, it's a very useful consideration when it comes to politics, social considerations, and more.

#4 is absolutely true. You can make a good living with any degree, but you should always keep the practicality in mind no matter what major you are. You can't just major in philosophy and expect a job - you need to have a direction, seek internships in college, etc. That direction often changes and evolves until one settles into a career that uses those philosophy degree skills but isn't perhaps what you picture when you think about jobs for philosophers.

Many have pointed out the flaws in #5 for STEM / Engineering, but for someone deciding what they want to do within a set of options in the same range, it often is very true. See a communications major's plentiful varying career paths and possible compatible social science degrees that can be switched to easily.

#6 is usually not true, but I think there's a larger point to take away, which is that you don't need 5 classes in Y and 10 classes in Z to do job X. Often mixing subjects with your interests and having that classic liberal arts balance can be very useful. Psychology can be helpful in getting along with coworkers in any office. Philosophy and ethics could certainly lead to better corporate ethical action if it was widespread enough. I would revise #6 to be "don't box your eduction in by your major". That isn't to say you need to study a full liberal arts curriculum or create your own major either, but simply to develop other relevant skills or interests you have that can aid your life and major.

Obviously, this is a charitable reading, but I think there is some good value hidden here.
Coming from a European country, I really have a hard time understanding this no-major thing. As a matter of fact I even have trouble understanding majors at all. Across the pond, when you go to university to study X you study X (and if X requires Y as a prerequisite also Y). Nobody prevents you from walking into a lecture hall in comparative linguistics if you are studying biology, you just won't get any credits for it. Experiencing a large range of topics, helping you understand what you want to do, and teaching you to think is supposed to be the role of high school around here.

True. Lisp has never had strong lobby among corporations (like Pascal had) and is still striving to survive. Some 30-40 years after it has been created people start to dig in the whole paradigm: "program as mathematical expression" as opposed to "program as a natural language sentence" ALGOL/COBOL/PASCAL/etc.

We would likely suffer from mass malnutrition. If you want to see what a country looks like that has gone "all vegan" just look at North Korea. Protein, from animals, is critical for not just survival, but growth and sustainability of the population. Relying on plant-based and artificial sources of protein is a recipe for disaster.
There is no need for central planning, but a little protection from central. There is nothing wrong with protectionism.
> Express uses callbacks extensively

This is true, Express goes way back to Node's pre-1.0 days before promises were a thing. For a more modern NodeJS experience, I'd recommend Koa http://koajs.com/. Rule number one for pain-free JS development: do everything with promises, if not async/await.

Koa is still "lightweight" in the sense that you piece together your middleware + request handler chain similar to Express (or Flask!) but it's just as capable once you've added what you need.
Not so sure, if the animals can find something to eat on the land, then it should be possible to grow something humans can eat as well.

You can try to grow it, but good luck hauling the tractor, plow, and combine up that steep hill that only a sheep can traverse. It's not a matter of "can I grow corn in that soil?", as you can grow corn on a rock if you throw enough fertilizer at it. It's a matter of "can I grow corn at any kind of scale that doesn't involve tilling and harvesting by hand?" And for context, keep in mind that people are killed in tractor rollover events all the time as a result of trying to traverse an incline.
I'm objecting to the fact that you are calling this a change and that it supposedly collects more data. My understanding is that it is the opposite. Much of the stuff that you list is the update check and the update checks for add-ons, CA revocation checking etc, all things that have always been on by default and that can now actually be disabled more easily.

I have no idea where you pull the "this seems to include what URL's you're browsing; this could be a security risk for apps like Dropbox and OneDrive" stuff from. The only place I know of that these could potentially be recorded is a crash report, and this has always been the case if you allow it to send crash reports back because they contain the stack contents.

It's not about a "negative emotion", it's about saying something that you probably wouldn't say to someone's face.

If I were talking to lisper over a beer, I'd probably smile and say that that problem is one that 99% of the world's population would love to have, or something to that effect. Or maybe without the smile and straight to the point "complaining about profits so high that you're getting taxed on them when there are people who are homeless is not a great look".

OTOH, I don't think he's really complaining, just pointing out that the system is pretty screwy even for someone who is in no uncertain terms doing pretty well.

> but many of you still want those capabilities that have opened the door

Rest assured the majority of (web) developers does not like this crap a bit. Most of the pressure to add hundreds of analytics toolkits, trackers or these snoopers come from marketing - they (or worse, the C-level execs) get convinced that they need to integrate tool XYZ to "stay competitive" or "improve their customer retention" or whatever buzzword goes today, and the devs at the bottom of the chain are left to implement it.

> It is believed the fire started as a result of an electrical fault involving a mobile phone charger in the bedroom where Ms McDermott was sleeping.
OK, even granting the crazy notion that the charger put line voltage (which google tells me is 220V@50Hz in Vietnam) into the charger cable:

How do you electrocute yourself in bed with such a setup? That cable is going to short through the electronics easily. The tiny conductors in the connectors on both ends are going to melt and break. And even assuming you get unlucky enough to have them fail closed so you have the phone case energized... where is the ground in a bedroom situation to complete the circuit? Rolling onto a phone case at 220V is going to hurt like hell, but it won't kill you unless you can get a current across your heart.

I don't buy it.

If you're sending money then people will spend it (such as on shoes) and increased spending and investment will tend to help local businesses much more than sending goods that compete with them.

I'm a UX designer on the Metabase core team, and I'll try to answer some of the bullet points about Metabase as honestly as I can from my perspective. Also happy to answer any other specific questions folks might have.

One of the main things we're pretty proud of about Metabase is the care we've tried to take with its design and usability. We often get positive feedback from users about the ease of using Metabase and its aesthetic appeal. Beyond that, we have a simple GUI querying interface that's great for users who don't know how to write SQL or native queries. Lastly, we've been doing some interesting things using ML to provide automatic insights called x-rays to show things like growth analysis for time series at the press of a button.

In terms of scaling, we have a wide range of companies using Metabase with either very small hobby DBs or huge Redshift instances, both with success. We have some work to do in making sure super massive DBs don't overly slow down certain parts of the app (like field mapping with SQL filters, or paginating long lists more efficiently). In terms of scaling in-app files or organizing things, Metabase lets you put your saved queries into collections, which you can set user group permissions on.

I think Metabase checks off most of the common visualization options: line, area, bar, row chart, pie/donut, scatter/bubble plot, region map, pin map, progress bar, and funnels. Two requests that we get often that we're working on are line+bar combo charts and cohort analysis tables (which can be accomplished with a pivot table, but without nice color formatting).

Under the hood, we've been trying to add a lot of power over the last year: data access controls, field value remapping, nested or sub-queries, SQL/native query variables, the ability to embed charts or dashboards in other applications, fine-grained scheduling controls for DB sync and analysis, and Google auth and LDAP login.

Not sure if you have any specific questions about DB or schema requirements, but I'll just say we currently support: Postgres, MySQL, Druid, SQL Server, Redshift, MongoDB, Google BigQuery, SQLite, H2, CrateDB, Oracle, Vertica, and Presto. There's also an experimental Google Analytics driver that's not 100% fully featured, but is still quite good (we use it to visualize a few of our own metrics).

Lastly, our team is quite active on our GH repo (https://github.com/metabase/metabase/), doing our best to quickly respond to issues, requests, and PRs.

I hope that helps.
If that is really why youre not vegan I recommend the book 'How not to die' by Michael Gregor.

The health benefits of a whole food plant based diet are astonishing, and the whole missing vitamin mineral thing is trivially taken care of.

Becoming vegan will lead to immediate and long term health benefits. And from personal experience its much easier and more fun than you could dare to expect.
> "Police said a "broken-down" charging brick and frayed cable were also found in the 14-year-old's bed. It is not thought those devices were made by Apple."

Moral of the story: Don't use a charger or power cable if it's visibly damaged. Physically damaged power electronics can put electricity in places it doesn't belong, creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

Muckraking is not a new phenomenon at all, even to this degree. The "nude photos" of Ann Dunham have been debunked as false. [1]

I speculate you are right, though, that less people these days would give a flip about whether one modeled for a underground fetish publication in the late 1960s, even if true.

Unfortunately, there are still a significant amount of people who would have an issue with this. But to me (and probably others), the claims made say nothing about Ann Dunham (even if they were true). But they say a heck of a lot of negative about the authors of what seems to be the primary source of this muckraking [2].

C is far from perfection, but it's very small, fit well to the hardware of its day, and had a colossal "killer app", Unix.

A fix for master programmers is e.g. Rust, and a bunch of GC-based languages, from newcomers like Crystal and Nim to the battle-hardened JVM ecosystem, or Erlang/Elixir.

The way C++ did not displace C, or the way Ruby and Python did not displace PHP, these guys will not displace Go.

In-browser password managers are completely insecure by design.

Any site can write whatever they want within the page, so it's easy to fake the prompt and steal the password. The only way to prevent this is if the password manager runs as a standalone application, so that the password is entered outside the browser. 1password has this, and the workflow is fine --- switching to the insecure one makes no sense.
No, because Apple chargers are extremely well-designed and those cables only ever carry 12V. No-name chargers usually have sub-millimeter separation between the high- and low-voltage circuits so voltage can jump between them, electrocuting you with 110 (or 220) volts.

That's why I never ever buy no-name mains devices any more.

> your own company doesn't capture all of that value.

This is the general thought of the industry. But I wonder if is this true from a long term value perspective?

For example - Glassdoor says, for San Franciso, a junior iOS developer is paid 100k USD [1] while senior iOS developer is paid 156k USD [2]

If there is no hike, the senior developer costs 56k USD more each year. So, assuming an average turnover of 2 years that is 112k USD.

So are we to say that the cost of training and capturing of 2 years of that value is not equal to at least 112k USD?

Same here. I bought 1Password (multiple times) and have it on my MBP, iPhone, and iPad and got the girlfriend using it on all of her devices too. Matter of fact, I switched to 1Password the very same day that LogMeIn bought out LastPass.

I am not happy about them switching to a subscription model and pushing their hosted product and (in this case) making it a requirement. Yes, the standalone version is still around. For now.

As much as I dislike it, it was (unfortunately, for us) probably the right business decision to make. The standalone version will go away at some point in the future. I'm sure of that, I just don't know when it will be.

I'll never switch to their subscription/hosted product but many, many others probably will. That will reaffirm their decision and lead to them eventually completely dropping the standalone macOS version.
While it might be a decent idea to offer it as an option, most people/businesses don't have any cryptocurrency, and have no interest in it.

Well it's sort of true.

If you find a bad person and get someone to follow them with a really good camera you'll likely get the code (especially for a phone ). If you are at a mall in a high tech country I was told that you can read what they write on their phones ( No source, and if not think about the future ).

So you will need some police work but that's actually how it has been used for most part of the last hundred years, where you can't just look stuff up on a computer.

So yes there is no real guarantee that you can crack a phone. But if we learned anything from the dark markets it's that it's very hard to never makes mistakes.
