A larger battery isn’t going to solve the problem of degradation, unless they limited battery life in software until the battery degraded below that limit, which would be absurd.
VSCode doesn't consistently use git's language afaik, I could be wrong though.
There is a huge amount of non-public information out there that insiders can use for profit, and it will always be the case no matter what regulations you enforce.
> Do you expect the governments to sit and watch?

No and if laws are broken something can be done, but there are too many cases / stories, like the one described for France in this thread, where the gov was not really interested until they got forced by some corrupt (smelling) means by the big taxi companies and their lobbies. And i'm sure (but maybe that's just cynicism from living life) those companies are not going out for 'the law' or against uber specifically; they would go after anything that is competition for them in any way they can. Uber just is easier because you can play a few cards which are internationally known; big trees catch a lot of wind as we say in NL.

I used to feel bad about it, but it has become evident that any content creator still primarily funding themselves through third-party ads in 2017 is the digital equivalent of a streetwalker.

It's a low-class business model that is rife with disease. There's no barrier to entry-- literally anybody can do it, there is no filtering of who they'll do business with, and it's a race to the bottom to earn pennies at the expense of their integrity. Despite having actual content of value, they share a business model with a blog farm full of Markov-generated malware-laden shitposts.

Given the now-well-known threats to health and safety that third-party ads present, one does not have the right to get upset when clients insist on using protection when dealing with them.

Set up a Patreon for donations, set up affiliate links or offer subscriber perks if adblocking is cutting into revenue. Either option is far more lucrative, ethical and honest than whoring oneself out for the benefit of some shady ad firm that leaves the user with a nasty case of Bonzi.
Quoting from the article: "It will make developing for the web easier and more efficient."

Um .. no. It will make code execute faster but it will be more work to write and maintain.

For most of the daily bread-and-butter code that we produce, speed is not awfully important but clarity is. In this equation, you gain a great advantage from stuff like garbage collection, functional programming, and a well equipped package manager, i.e. Javascript is a pretty good choice (and Typescript an even better choice).

On the other hand, if you're writing very specialized algorithmic code which will be executed a very large amount of times, then WASM and fine tuning is in place. As cool a technology as WASM may be, a very small fraction of our code is like that.

My prediction is that WASM will find its place, mainly within some of the more popular libraries available on npm. If there is anything to gain from rewriting, say, parts of ReactJS in WASM then it will eventually be done. But it will be totally transparent to the user of said library.

Taking a view at the server side landscape is also instructive. There is a plethora of languages which execute faster than JS, yet nodeJS thrives. So it doesn't seem like people are eager to ditch JS. Hater's gonna hate, of course.

I also don't think you can think of developer time like that. Imagine how many caterers have gone into making websites work on IE6. Stuff like that happens.
Bill has some characteristics that hurt being a CEO but he had many that helped, Ballmer lacked most of those. Bill was confident in his authority so he was comfortable with people challenging him, and was willing to give his ego a rest in order to see the bigger picture or make the right decision for the company. Things that Ballmer couldn't do. Ballmer purged the top tier of MS of talented leadership because he saw it as a threat. Ballmer chased after companies in completely different industries (google, apple) because he couldn't stand Microsoft not being top dog in every tech niche, and nearly tanked the company doing so.
I also work for an analytics company too, or more accurately a data router that integrates with other analytics companies, including yours. I'd be interested in seeing your benchmark results as it's unclear to me whether / how this potentially impacts us.
Nope – not explicitly, that would be something within _their_ terms of service since it's their data. Their own customers would have to hold them accountable.

I know that's a cop-out – but I can't imagine a system where we could enforce some kind of downstream compliance.

Things like GDPR are a good way to make companies accountable and I look forward to that becoming more broadly accepted.

It was 21 years ago exactly that Apple was announcing the acquisition of NeXT. Who could have envisioned the impact it will have on Apple!
It wasn't a given the announcement would skyrocket BCH, however, I'd be shocked if anyone at Coinbase wasn't extremely successful with Crypto right now. The fringe benefit of being in an environment where they breath cryptocurrency is digital gold, or at least a strong multiple of their salaries.
The article also misses the point about intrinsic VS extrinsic motivation in software. Personally I think being motivated by money, careers, nice cars — whatever — is just fine. But I think the only way to know if you really want to stick with Programming, and especially any particular branch of programming, is by finding out what intrinsically motivates you.

That can be your rock to hold onto as burnout approaches...

Yes. And good commit messages are better than (stale) code comments.
I think the concern is that you could still, in principle, draw districts that gave you lots of seats, because they're relatively small. STV isn't proportional by design. You want as many of their votes as possible to wind up in the fourth of three quotas, and as many of yours as possible to end up in the three quotas that win seats. For instance, it may be that Us in some state just suddenly start winning two out of three seats in most districts. Make sure the two seat districts go in areas where They have a bit more than fifty percent but not a full two quotas so they split one apiece. The goal is still to waste as many of Their votes as possible to get fifty percent plus one seats.

PR is no panacea. To avoid gerrymandering, you need an adequately high district magnitude. After all, majority-preferential is just quota-preferential with a magnitude of 1. And FPTP is just List PR with a magnitude of 1.

> Google had distinct locations for each; but Apple plotted them all at the same location

I use Apple Maps almost 95% of the time, and this is one of its major annoyances. If I'm trying to find a location by eyeballing it from the map, it can sometimes be impossible to do so because there's another label on top of it.

Seems like everyone is forgetting the #1 failure in older phones. With today's technology phones are very power efficient, the manage a rather amazing number of circuits with different functionality. Things like CPU, GPU, display, backlight, battery monitor, accelerometer, gps, compass, bluetooth, wifi, wan, camera, NFC, microphone, dsp, light senors, proximity sensors, etc.

The vast majority of those circuits are sleeping pretty much all the time. However as you get older your battery keeps up.. except those challenging times when you activate too many things. Like say nav (that runs the GPS, GPU, 3D chip, CPU, radio, compass, etc). Then the phone just turns off because there's not enough voltage.

Many people complain about "crashing" phones, claiming less reliability over time. Seems like often it's just the battery that can't manage the needed number of volts under load. You can witness this when ever less intensive things crash, but they all work if you are plugged in.

The sad thing is that these new top of the line smart phones could be useful for 5-10 years. Fit/finish with glass/aluminum, top spec CPU/RAM, expandable storage, etc. Sadly the epoxied battery reduces the practical life to 2-3 years.

In what world would a modular/expandable phone (like has been attempted several times) decide you might want to add fancy speakers, fancy camera, 3d vision, etc. But STILL expoxy in the battery? WTF?

I wish the government would stem in and just mandate that phones have user replaceable batteries to keep them from just filling the landfills after a few years.
Are there some example applications created at Dynamicland that we can look at? i.e. what has actually been done with this platform to date? (Not sure applications and platform are the correct terms to use, but this concept is totally new to me)
Wasn’t the first Samsung flagship to remove the replacement battery the Galaxy S6? It’s no coincidence that it was also the first in a line of Android flagships starting to even attempt to compete with Apple on build quality, which they now do.
Also, selling this many bitcoin at this time is a delicate thing. The sane thing to do is offload the tulip bulbs before the market collapses, yet offloading all of the bulbs at once might flood the market and trigger the collapse.

No matter what, they'll not be able to exchange all of their imaginary wealth to real wealth but they'll definitely make a killing. Unless they really intend to go down with the ship which would be poetic in its own way.
They get to graduate to running a hedge fund or an ICO for being a former Coinbase employee :)
Of course not. You can make your own judgement based on the evidence you have.

I am standing up for the presumption of innocence when the evidence is lacking or in conflict.
But if I only care about coding capability I might want to hire the one who programs 16 hours a day and not just 8 hours a day. We live in a free market and I can optimize for such parameters, if I want.

Obviously, if I really take this as a main parameter, I will be hiring probably 22 yr old kids with no relationships. I only see an indirect relationship to diversity. Still, good hint to keep that in mind.
The language of efficiency is interesting in our field.

We call something is "high performance" if some conceptual things are twiddling inside at high speed.
I guess this comes from the "engine performance" meaning of the word.

Then there's the "employee performance" sense of the word, ie getting the right things done in a satisfactory way, and delivered on time. The latter mostly depends on product development acumen and high programmer productivity, etc.

Regarding the specifc case of WebAssembly, it'll be interesting to see how WebGL compute and WASM will coexist. I guess in many applications it would be a good solution to have a compute kernel in both, with fallback to WebAssembly
in case a device lacks WebGL 2 support or something. Is there compiler tech in the works that can target both?

> I like Ruby's elegance, but every time I see the "OOP at the core" part, I suddenly get more love for Python

Python does the same thing; functions are objects. Ruby needs a call to .call or the equivalent .() syntax because of optional parens, not because of pervasive OOP.,
You are putting the burden of proof on an individual with no information access to coinbases operations. At the court of public opinion (or consumer opinion in this case), the appearance of corruption is enough to condemn.

Its pretty clear something happened because there was quite a commotion hours before it happened, which means market makers knew it was coming. I have documented message sbefore the coinbase announcement that something weird was going on, and so has the community. Not only that, coinbase gave the appearance of neutrality when it deliberately lied on release date and scope of release. For what purpose but to take advantage of the information arbitrage.

Coinbase sold its users today and as a portion of the community has been vocal about, I recommend leaving coinbase to another exchange that hasn't proven to screw over their users.
Some did. Most were cheap and even the most expensive ones took 2MP pixel shots. Good luck capturing a fast moving object from a long distance with a Motorola Razr.

Here is a counter point I would argue. Anyone can make a Bitcoin fork, in fact Bitcoin forks are being made every week now. Is every Bitcoin holder now liable for that?

Also these forks often collapse, so when was the income gain? The same day? You'd have people owing more tax than their entire net worth. (Forks often pump in the first day/week then drop to nothing.)

If this is possible then you could attack every Bitcoin holder by making millions of forks each day and making lots of trades to give each fork real value. If you don't declare each fork you end up getting penalties.

I would imagine a more sane way to deal with this is like how the ATO deals with Bitcoin mining. You mine Bitcoin but it's not realized until transferred to a third party.

I would argue the same for forks.

A fork is made, you have coins. But it's not like you received those coins. Technically you always had them as they are old coins just now on a different chain. If you sell the coins then it's a gain that you owe tax on.

But forcing each user to track every fork as income is impractical and not viable. You'll see more of this as thousands of forks come into existence over the coming years.

This is something I would actually look into getting a private ruling about.
Android Studio tells me API 20 targets about 70 percent of android devices. API 26 targets less than one percent of android devices. What apps are you using that target API 26? I had to develop an app for a customer in Mexico two years ago and the customer made us target API 15 because they wanted to maximize app compatibility.

iPhones do have replaceable batteries, only not DIY. It's like $80 w/o warranty or AppleCare.

I've bought dozens of Android replacement batteries and the only batteries worth the cost of shipping were actual real OEM ones. And those always cost >$60. Knockoffs would start out decent and then die within a few weeks to months.

Apple's approach gets my vote. You get the upside of built-in battery and the peace of mind when you do need a replacement.

[Just to balance that, let me be clear that Apple's choice with regard to crippling my phone pisses me off. I just replaced an iPhone 6 that felt painfully slow and now I know why (I had tested the battery and it was at 75% -- I didn't realize replacing it would speed up the phone).]
Following this stage, there is an important realization: The details never stop. There's always more "what if"s and more "unless"es. Always another stop on the train of thought. I say it's important, because sometimes our ideas seem very big or well-contained, when in fact, it's an impossibility.
You do? I don't know if I want to live in that world. Depends on how friendly the aliens are I suppose?
This is a crazy transform to wrap your head around. Given the impl, I think I would restate it as B'(x,y) = ARGMAX(B(u,y)=x, u) -- that is, the brightness at x,y in the new image is the max value of u for which the brightness at u,y is x in the old image.

I wonder if rather than using max, if you averaged instead. Would you get more of an idea of right/left of how that brightness is distributed?
> In the end I can understand the limitations on the lock screen because it can be tricky to figure out the right way to give third-party apps special permissions like that

Interestingly enough, I did some exploring into how Apple was doing this and it seems like there's already an (internal) "API" for bundles of code that work on the home screen and lock screen. Currently it's taken advantage of by apps like Assistant (Siri), ChatKit (I assume this is Quick Reply notifications?), Wallet (which shows up on the lock screen), and the Wi-Fi picker in addition to Maps. Check out /System/Library/SpringBoardPlugins if you're curious.
They are a success in that people ride them regularly. Less of a success in that the tickets are often more expensive than a comparable flight, although secondary factors like security, terminal location, and legroom can make the train the preferable option even at a higher price.
Based on my experience in almost the exact scenario (different University), you'll have to get a new visa, as I did for my internship(s).

There are a few programs under the J-1 visa. You are most likely in a long-term scholar or a short-term scholar program, and want to switch to an internship program.
I remember when Google maps first came out in like 2005 or so. It was a truely revolutionary app.

Not just for being one of the first apps to be properly dynamic and AJAX based, but also because it was possibly the first time that we had access to an entire world of satellite maps online, something previously reserved for large corporations and governments.

> Apple Maps is not competing with Google Maps.

Uhh, it 100% is. The fact that I don't use Google Maps and use Apple Maps instead means that it's in direct competition.
I get what you're saying, but I also want to assert: we're not in the thieves' guild. I mentioned that analytics as a broad category, gets bunched up with a bunch of very nefarious folks – it's like conflating Tor to The Silk Road and their ilk (of which I have no strong objection, but I am using as an example, since many might see selling drugs as "bad", but Tor as "good").

With that said, the comments above this thread, which point out that I have little control over our "Tor" becoming "The Silk Road" are valid and are often on my mind, and I can only say that I will not go gentle into that good night, if it does come to pass.

The battery settings do say "battery needs service" once the battery is degraded, and most people are aware that their battery is bad.

Most people don't understand that the degraded battery is the cause of the performance issues (its not very intuitive), so they should explicitely say that.

My biggest complaint about Google Maps is that it changes its scale as you get closer to a turn. You try to judge how close you are by how fast you've been approaching it, and suddenly you find you've zoomed past.
Yes. Cast your mind to lightly-traveled rural roads. If you are driving one of the many unpaved roads in Arizona during flash flood season, and the last car through was a couple hours ago, will you bet your life that the road is still there?

But hey, that's not a realistic danger in the city, right? Well, look up the sinkhole named "Steve" that opened up in the middle of an Oakland, CA freeway.
