People use Webpack because it gives you easy access to NPM, understands module dependency graph and through various plugins, can optimize your code with features like lazy loading, tree shaking, etc. These are things you don't get with Gulp.
I'm a tad skeptical of the electrons vs bits (packets) analogy.

Electrons are commoditized and generic - and they don't suffer from prioritization issues except during brown-outs/black-outs. When you receive a stream of bits you are routing very specific non-generic packets via various network interconnects from very specific content providers. The routing and interconnect/bandwidth costs will vary significantly depending on the content provider, content type, and consumer usage.

It's my understanding that the ISPs want to rescind the 2015 NN rules so they can offer premium guaranteed/prioritized QoS for specific content types from premium partner providers (e.g. real-time applications such as medical/security devices, VoIP, video conferencing, and streaming audio/video). You can't do this with electrons.

Let's break this down into a car analogy.

The manufacturer (IPCC) says that based on their best information and models if you do not get your oil changed in your car every 10k miles it will lead to increased engine wear which can lead to other problems. Every reputable mechanic (climate scientists)agrees that 10k is a reasonable estimate and that people who drive over that limit will lead to even worse results on average.

Now lets say you've got a smart uncle Jim. He's a damned good electrician and he's been driving his car over 10k without changing his oil for years and he says his car is still running great. He brings it into the shop and the mechanic says his mileage is down and there's some wear on the engine that they can see. Since your uncle Jim can't see the wear that these mechanics see he accuses them of trying to rip him off and drives the vehicle even farther past the 10k miles just to prove them wrong.

This is the climate change debate in a car analogy. There's tons of variables that can affect how long a car lasts and no good mechanic can tell on what day a car will break, but over a long enough timeline they can say for sure that it will result in degraded performance.
I bought a teensy on impulse to mess around with LED strips, and this library he wrote is awesome:

https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OctoWS2811.html#tech

It takes care of all the low-level details and offloads almost all of the work onto the DMA controller, leaving the CPU free to service interrupts or run other code. It reduces controlling individual LEDs to something as simple as a putPixel.
"Absolutely" is a lie in this situation. Lying, is, realistically, a better way to make any sale - but also realistically, an invitation to lawsuits and prosecution.

"She said, ‘Look, it’s not easy. It’s hard. A couple things have to come together, but I think if they do, we’ll be in a position to make the budget.’ That’s a very honest answer. But it’s not the answer to give in this situation.”

When you’re pitching, he says, the right answer is: “Absolutely. In fact, I actually think we’re going to do a little bit better, but I don’t like to over-promise. There are a couple things that are not in there that we think we can hit. We are absolutely going to make those numbers."
It is also worth noting that the ecosystem around fish is quite developed, making it easy to get easy integration and completions for most well-known tools.

I think it helps them control costs. My understanding is T-mobile is basically providing a lower speed than normal pipe for video so it streams at a lower quality. On mobile it probably quality doesn't matter as much, so overall it reduces the overall network bandwidth.
Good luck... what does Puerto Rico have to offer at this point besides tourism?
Well, this works as long as you're using a separate goroutine and the Go runtime creates more than one thread, right? My claim is that a Go runtime that only creates one thread (which is effectively what Joy is) will not work the way you expect in this case.

Or, more specifically, that if you have N goroutines that consist of infinite loops of pure computation (or really, anything that doesn't involve receiving from a channel), and at least one other goroutine that's receiving from a channel, your runtime needs to generate at least N+1 OS threads or your last goroutine will never get scheduled.

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11462 seems to be saying the same thing (by setting GOMAXPROCS to 1).
ISPs havent been profitable?

Wow. That would be nuts - Since when? this is America, where ARPU is measured in its native currency of the dollar without a conversion cost, in a nation where they have some of the worst competitive landscape, subsidized roll out, and yet incomplete roll out of infrastructure.

And they are still not profitable ?

Sorry, for the request for a source, since it may come across rude- but I’m damn surprised. I evens recall most telecom operators being positive about their growth and numbers overall.

Perhaps the parent poster is right and America would be much better off with nationalized internet infrastructure.
Thanks for taking the time to do that!

Lets say 20% adoption means we're 40% of the way through the transition. The slope for IPv6 looks better and better every day, but overall it's not a great adoption story for tech that inevitably has to happen. (not to discourage or minimize the all the hard work done in getting IPv6 this far)
Recently chose Vue.js over React, and it's been great! React was a pain to learn imo and Vuejs really made everything smooth and easy. Just my 2 cents.
I didn't know you could add articles on the web to an anki deck. Is this done manually? Offline accessible? Anyone know? Good idea imho.
> It would involve exceeding the allowed access (of the ISP's routers)

That's quite a stretch. You, the server hosting customer who pays for internet access, aren't "exceeding the allowed access". Your website visitors are accessing your server. If there's a thundering herd, the ISP is allowed to protect it's network accessibility (IIRC Comcast did this and the FCC lost a lawsuit against them[1] afterwords).

Typically ISPs care more that you are actually abusing the expected bandwidth of your connection (thus deteriorating service quality for your neighbors and eating into your ISP's profits), not that you are running a server at all. Every time you have to open a pinhole in your home router, you are "running a server" of a sort.

I'm an advocate for the principles of Net Neutrality and to clarify the vagueness of CFAA, but I don't have a clue how to implement them.

Nothing wrong with it. It's just not as powerful as Webpack.

Never. Can't happen. See, while it is true that 80% of the people only use 20% of the features but it is not the same 20%! The only viable Excel replacement would need to have the exact same functionality pile.

Yes, cut-and-paste is a traditional way of quoting. Resharing a Tweet is easier, particularly when not using a mouse or keyboard. It also automatically cites the source.

Resharing part of a series is somewhat interesting since the author controls how their series gets cut up, instead of leaving it up to the reader.

None of this is anything you couldn't do before, but changing what's easy to do in a UI also changes what's common on the network.

Do not judge Poland, if you want to judge someone then judge polish government. This government is a result of populism wave that also elected Trump in US, made Nazi party entering Bundestag in Germany, made UK leave EU etc.

Before Law and Justice party took over, Poland was ruled by pro democratic, very pro EU and liberal-centric party. Poland (polish people) is the most pro EU country in whole Europe (source: eurostat) and was for last x years every year.

Having to find it on gist because the official documentation is so lacking that nobody can figure out how to configure the thing except by following examples is the main problem that leads people to fear webpack configuration and to cargo cult magical config files that they are afraid to touch.

> Back during World War II, the RAF lost a lot of planes to German anti-aircraft fire. So they decided to armor them up. But where to put the armor? The obvious answer was to look at planes that returned from missions, count up all the bullet holes in various places, and then put extra armor in the areas that attracted the most fire.

> Obvious but wrong. As Hungarian-born mathematician Abraham Wald explained at the time, if a plane makes it back safely even though it has, say, a bunch of bullet holes in its wings, it means that bullet holes in the wings aren’t very dangerous. What you really want to do is armor up the areas that, on average, don’t have any bullet holes. Why? Because planes with bullet holes in those places never made it back. That’s why you don’t see any bullet holes there on the ones that do return. Clever!

The relevance of this is left as an excercise for the enterprising reader.

Have you tried webpack since the 2.0 launch?

I felt the exact same way as you, but recently went through their tutorial/docs and was able to get a pretty good (and simple) setup without much fuss at all - a dev build, webpack dev server, and prod build. I’m only a short bit into actually proving it out for myself, but so far I was surprised since my first experience being quite negative too.

Hey all, one of the fish devs here. It's awesome to see all of the comments and happy users.

We are in the process of scoping a major release (fish 3.0) that can include major syntactic changes. If there's an aspect of fish you would like to see changed, now is a great time! Of course we'll read the comments here, and our issues page [1] is where discussion happens.

We're also welcoming new contributors. It's easy to get started writing completions or with the issues labelled "easy-pick". The core code base is reasonably modern C++ too.

Yes, he was making papers freely available online. Papers that are created by the U.S. Academia system, which (in my opinion) is a highly regulated / controlled / subsidized ecosystem of institutions.

As far as I know Schwarz never campaigned for the Department of Education to mandate "open access" to papers. Using Schwarz' name here to imply he would be -for government regulation- seems extremely wrongheaded. Using any deceased persons life as an aid to your own cause seems extremely wrongheaded too, but I suppose the major religions of the earth all rest on that very tactic...

Hi, I'm a dev on Q#, and wanted to help clarify a bit how the Quantum Development Kit relates to LIQUi|〉. Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit is a successor to LIQUi|⟩ and we're excited for you to download it and begin writing Q# code. LIQUi|⟩ is focused on the efficient simulation of a quantum computer on a classical one. Q# is a language that will let you program actual quantum computers (in the future). As such, there are areas where LIQUi|⟩ can currently out-perform Q# when it is used on one of the provided simulators (which are striving to emulate the actual gates on quantum hardware). Over time, more simulators will be provided for Q# that will meet (and exceed) the efficiency of LIQUi|⟩ and at that point, we will fully retire LIQUi|⟩.
I'm using a throwaway because I don't want this associated with my my main account, but a super valuable market for you here is sex workers. I used to be a camgirl, and a main source of income for a good chunk of camgirls is getting people to buy gifts off of wishlists. Usually people use Amazon's wishlist feature, but that obviously limits you to things that are on Amazon, which doesn't have a great selection of sex-related stuff. Having a pretty, store-agnostic platform would be really welcomed.

Good places to find camgirls is /r/camming / linked subreddits in the sidebar, along with the sites themselves (I only used Chaturbate, so I can't speak to the other platforms).
Anecdotal evidence, while interesting, is not really pertinent. For example, I've had over a dozen iPhone models, never had a problem with heat. I've had a half dozen MBPs, use two at the moment, and the battery has never swelled, ever.

And the trash can is tiny, making it the second best example we have other than the 5K iMac, both of which work fine and handle thermals fine.

And BTW, every phone slows under extended load, that's standard thermal management for fan-less battery powered devices.

granted, my information is second-hand, but one of the smartest people I know (very accomplished) had worked with Brown personally over several years and remarked that Brown was the "smartest person in the room" and frequently could get to the core issues of a given problem quickly.
This is really cool that you made a profit on this bubble, and if I were to take that point to heart and start investing USD in BTC, I guess I would just become part of that. As you say, I would just be out to get rich.

But what about all the non-fiat purposes of crypto currency? It seems that is what’s currently getting lost in the conversation.

For example, I simply want a way to accept electronic payments from people without dealing with middle men.

I want merchants and the general public to become aware of the inherent value in some blockchain by itself as a way for us all to spend “money” and get “paid” in a peer-to-peer manner.

I hope the people who are buying into this bubble come to see this. But I’m afraid if they do get burned, they will have missed the whole point.

It's an analogy. It gets the point across. Yes, as you've pointed out, there are exceptions, but then you'll be ignoring the spirit of the argument. The point is that it shouldn't matter what services are used, everything should be priced the same, companies should not be able to bribe an ISP to prioritize their traffic instead of their competitors.
For me, it's a combination of "never thought of it" and the difficult of convincing the organization it's not a security risk (yes, it sounds silly).
I'm a very happy fish user but this is one of my pain points as well. If you want to define a function, the syntax is light-years ahead of bash, including named arguments (and closures!), but it took a fair bit of googling and eyebrow-wrinkling before I could figure out the way just to set a default argument for that function.

What I ended up with was (for a shortcut for generating a password on the command line):

function pw --argument length
test -z $length; and set length 16
