Yes this seems to be the story today, both in the west and in some developing countries (e.g. India).

But this was not the historical pattern.

Firstly, it's my understanding that richer families started having fewer kids than poor ones in Victorian times -- about a century too early to be explained by women getting MBAs (or taking the pill).

Secondly, for poorer people before this, I think the main mechanism (in the west) was delayed marriage. (Not famine or disease etc.) Saving up enough money to decently start a household took time, and the community's definition of "decently" set the equilibrium population. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_marriage_patt... (and Laslett book above).

Crypto is not illegal. You just have to pay taxes on it, and exchanges might ask you to explain where the money came from.

I'm surprised nobody created a bank/exchange to take advantage of the situation.

That depends from how narrowly one conceives privilege escalation. The ability to read something that you have not been granted read privileges for is a privilege escalation, too. The access that one gains with escalated privileges is not solely confined to write access; there is read access to be gained too.

Compilation is for old people writing old programs that run on old things called "computers".

We're fresh and new and iterating quickly on our MVP, so we don't have time to wait for long compilation time. Instead we transpile our code and run it in a serverless environment, a docker container or a browser.

I'm actually quite shocked at how dominant Backbone was. Granted it was when npm was less popular, but still... impressive.

React dominating, as expected. Vue growing, which is nice. Angular and Ember both seem to hanging in there but it's clear they aren't where the community is interested.

I think we all knew that, but it's nice to see numbers. Kind of sobering to see Angular and Ember are basically as popular as Backbone is tho. Of the two - Ember seems more healthy.
Apple patched Meltdown (not Spectre) for Sierra in "Security Update 2017-002" on Dec. 6th 2017. They are not doing a point release; the latest version of Sierra is 10.12.6

No, converting cash to crypto is NOT money laundering.

Money laundering is when you get dirty money and try to convert it into legal clean money.

I'm this case there's no dirty money, it's just banks are scared of the feds, so they refuse to take it.
Litecoin is basically following Bitcoin's approach to scaling which will leave it congested if it gets popular enough. Litecoin already has much higher fees than Bitcoin Cash. Litecoin's development has basically been nonexistent since it's invention and has only been copying Bitcoin ever since. Bitcoin Cash is also quickly gaining merchant adoption with for example BitPay, something Litecoin has failed to do in many years. The network effect is a powerful thing.

That Bitcoin Cash would implement "business logic" is just wrong. It simply removes the artificial blocksize limit and does not try to prevent users from utilizing 0-conf if they so choose. From that point it is Bitcoin which is forcing out valid use cases (low value transactions, opt in 0-conf).

In that case it will be interesting to observe this in practice. My fear (and prediction) is a lot of continued frustration and failure because the web environment is a different context than the JVM target with many different technical requirements.

Glad it helps / sorry for ruining your weekend project! :)

If you had any ideas that are missing from mine, let me know.
Certainly these improvements led to overall population growth, which accelerated over a few centuries. But the pattern that richer people had more kids than poor is a different thing. I believe this persisted until Victorian times in England. The US frontier was a gigantic anomaly in other ways, and could be in this way too, I don't think I've seen data.
> Opensource software is, by default, non-malicious.

So is closed source software.

You seem to be deeply confused about the scenarios people are worried about.

The main ones are 1. untrusted users being hosted 2. javascript off the web.

All the open source in the world doesn't help in either scenario.

You're focused on someone deliberately running a malicious program. But if they do that, these exploits aren't even necessary to do severe harm. It's a marginal scenario at best.
Treble is counterproductive to this sort of problem anyway. But abstracting the OS to a layer sat above a quasi-HAL as it does, users will get OS updates with features but without updates to the underlying hardware interface blobs. The incentive for OEMs to update drivers for security goes down radically, not up, because the users crying out for OS feature x get it without having to update anything below the abstraction layer.

Ultimately the problem with Android driver security is that Qualcomm has no interest in it, and won't until some form of legislation from a large territory such as the US, EU or China forces their hand on it.

the "forking" 'readiness protocol' exists for backwards compatibility and interop, because it represents the behavior of many daemons designed for sysvinit style daemon management, or at least the behaviour they should have in order to avoid races between services in that model. It was not designed by systemd nor is recommended by them.
Apple and Microsoft, being partners with Intel, can't complain about the bugs - publicly at least.

What makes it news is that Linus can and does rake Intel over the coals. Unlike a lot of the others complaining he's much more credible.

Everyone keeps saying that Apple has abandoned the router business and I'm not sure where this is coming from. They still sell and support the AirPorts. They're even in stores.

A router isn't something that needs annual upgrades... realistically, there's not a whole lot technologically meaningful Apple could add to the product today. When 802.11ax comes around, then I'm sure Apple will make a big upgrade.

Generally speaking, there are ways to reduce a JVM library to the subset that is actually ever referenced by the app during compilation, like ProGuard. So of the 150 MB theorized library payload only maybe a megabyte is actually used by some app and needs to be delivered to client (browser).
The argument against the critics saying WebAssembly would make the web less open was, that you could always disassemble WebAssembly and that said disassembly would be much more readable than for example x86 assembly.

I think OPs point is that he's already got a router running DHCP on the network, but if you disable all the router-like services on a second device you can use it as a dedicated access point.
I used Frontpage, and Frontpage Extensions on the server side. I used HoTMetaL, Dreamweaver, and a few other WYSIWYG editors too.

Waat! We need to talk - I'm taking a very similar approach in my rewrite. There are some very interesting algorithm problems. Eg; I'm actually comparing pixels in 2 screenshots --with and without text rendered--, in order to get text colour and visibility. This way is actually more performant than using `getElementAt(x, y)` and `getComputedStyle(element)`.
I think it's pretty clear that "transpile" is a subset of "compile" and that there are both examples of "compile" that are indisputably not "transpile" (plain old source to architecture specific binary) and examples of "compile" that anybody who uses the term "transpile" would include in their personal variety of "transpile" (translation between source formats that are commonly used for human written code).

I don't see why the existence of a grey area should be enough to question the utility of the term.

If compile/decompile are used for a transformations along one axis, transpile is used for transformations that are predominantly orthogonal to that axis.
I pay my friends for drinks in crypto, they pay me (usually ltc, ether, or doge). It's quick and easy with a wallet on your phone like Jaxx. No venmo, no paypal, no bank account necessary. I use crypto to store and exchange value today. It will only get more popular as it becomes easier.

I encourage everyone to try it. Send $100 of crypto to a wallet on your phone and use it to pay people you owe for small stuff. It's fun and easy. It also gets your friends bootstrapped with crypto without needing to use coinbase or gemini or whatever.

Also wallets like Jaxx are deterministic, meaning you can use 12 unique words to recover your wallet anywhere - even if you lose your phone.

Apple's Statement on Meltdown and Spectre
In the 1980s when games were on cassette tape we used to go to either a recording studio or directly to the duplication plant. We'd take the computer with the mastering software and plug that into their reel to reel 'recorder'. I think it varied but was 1" or 2" tape usually.

We'd then run some cassettes off that master to validate they loaded, some of the copy protection was picky about the duplication quality and speed. They'd then start production and the finished product would be on the shelves in a week or two at most.

It was a fun and very interesting time visiting all those places. I went up to Telford once and was stuck there for a while as there was a mastering problem and we had to play with the copy protection. Most of the times it was a place by the A4 near Chiswick/Hammersmith.
The difference being that the semantics of fork() are optional with clone(), not with fork(). Thus, I would say that clone() can handle the situation.
very cute, i like your sarc.

for those who aren't familiar with transpiling, in this case it's kind of a legitimate use of the term: taking one flavor of compiled code (java bytecode, binary stuff that runs on a jvm) and translating that directly to another type of compiled code (wasm, binary stuff that runs in a browser)

I agree, the point here is to push off the cost of building the interfaces and making the data fully dynamic until they are actually needed, because we often find they aren't.

As for the commit pollution, I don't see this as much of a problem. In the long term we're always going to have lots of commits!
Monero, like most cryptos, is very volatile[1]. If I owned a small business and was looking to accept crypto payments, this price uncertainty would mean I'd only use it if I could quickly cash it out to something stable, most likely using something like BitPay, which then negates the p2p aspect. The prices on the shelves wouldn't be denominated in units of XMR either - they'd be in the local fiat.

For crypto payments to be accepted in businesses in the above scenario (and therefore become as mainstream as Visa or Mastercard), a robust stablecoin would be required, like what MakerDAO[2] is trying to achieve. Even though I've invested in them, I'd ultimately give them perhaps 10-20% chance of succeeding. Their product is incredibly hard to wrap your head around.

However, if Sai or some other stablecoin can achieve quick, cheap transactions, then it's possible that consumers will use it for everyday spending. Big "if" though.

Where is that AMD quote from? The "As shown" text does not appear on that web page.

In the Meltdown paper, the authors report that they couldn't yet make the proof-of-concept exploit work on AMD or ARM, despite having confirmed the general vulnerability on those processors. So based on current knowledge, AMD and ARM are vulnerable to Meltdown with quite a high probability.

I'm glad the Dutch never widely adopted a different keyboard layout. Vowels with diacritics and the € are entered using a software method (dead keys, compose key, etc.) on a standard US keyboard layout.

I agree with you on System76 though. I am in the process of being a Galago Pro, but I really wish they'd open up or partner with a reliable distributor in the EU to lower shipping costs, provide localised keyboard layouts, and avoid having to pay VAT at the door.
But that's not really the worry. It's always been possible to obfuscate JavaScript. All that changes with WebAssembly is that it might drive even more needless code, and complicate the web's architecture even further.

For example, web browsers for the blind become far harder to implement when ordinary websites are using heaps of boated JavaScript. (The web used to have HTML for content, and CSS for presentation. No longer. Now it's just a mess.) The problem would be compounded if WebAssembly+canvas were to catch on.

Yes, but as the mods didn't catch it now the conversation is here.

Because people need to pool into something to be able to afford big projects for the benefit of all. Government is the effect of this, you collect taxes so you can afford to build a shiny new hospital to attend to a region.

If you want to pool resources collectively in a smaller scale you are just replicating this structure with different powerful people, or different structure of power, but a society will always need it, doesn't matter if resources are money, materials or labour.

Firmware is never public, it's just proprietary code. Closedness tells us almost nothing about intent.
Yes I think it did.

Take for example a scoreboard with targets on it. The simplest version is to have a dictionary of datetime to target. We would start with that, show the metric owner how to edit it, and let them maintain their targets. Won't need many tests, total time probably 30 mins max to get that solution set up (not including GitHub training, but that's amortized over multiple uses).

The alternative is building a data model, migration, editing interface which is probably at least 2 screens (list, edit) and 3 endpoints (list, modify, delete), needs validation on the input, needs to be put in a menu somewhere, might need a date input library on the frontend, etc.

This solution would probably end up being at least several hours all-in (code review, etc), and this is a simple data model that can easily be put in the database, there are others, with logic for example, that would need a lot more thought to get into the database. For an interface that might be used quarterly for 10 mins, it's not worth it.
