My answer is - you need to actually understand the thing you're criticizing, not just feel like you do. Another prerequisite is a lack of agenda or bias.

I think this is close to the Blaredunner camera tech you want: http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/cornar/
Kinda odd that in 2018, these types of buttonhole cameras aren't super easy to find. I mean they have them on spy gear websites, and we all have phones, and there was Google Glass, but nothing super cool that's an obvious choice.
How thick of them would make a safe environment?

Maybe the best economic option is to build a huge ship, that could be a captured asteroid, and place it in an permanent elliptic orbit near Earth's orbit in its perihelion and near Mars' orbit in its aphelion.
So you're saying we should drop whatever unification WHATWG brings and leave everyone to do their own thing? That's certainly going to end well.

Saying "wake up" is a very dangerous statement; usually hints at ignorance more than anything else. Who do you think sits on the board of WHATWG? Its the very people building web browsers.

There's a reason making web apps doesn't suck nearly as much in 2018 as it did years ago, mostly because APIs are starting to be consistent across browsers. Thats standards for you, even living ones. (Its a living standard, not a living document, by the way.)

I'm very curious as to how you'll make a website that works in all browsers if they're all free to implement radically different interfaces to HTML/CSS/JS. Don't even think about web apps, or having 3D stuff.

Lets all go back to using glue libraries like jQuery like its 2010 again. That sounds fun.

Apple acquires Buddybuild
I've been reading LJ for a long time, although I was never a subscriber. I'm happy to hear this, and I'm going to sign up for a subscription or something shortly. But I am curious about something: what's different for LJ, versus the other Linux magazines I see on the news-stand at B&N, which seem to be doing OK? I'm thinking of Linux Format, Linux Pro, Admin, etc? They seem to show up regularly month after month, with bundled DVDs of new releases, etc.

But LJ seemed to have disappeared from the magazine rack even before recent events. So what's the deal? Is it a distribution problem, or ???
I cannot wait to see how you'd explain that to your 93-year-old great-grandfather.
> Without serious usage, what good is it?

Bitcoin is about the only cryptocurrency with serious usage, which is exactly the reason transaction fees are as high as they are.
Analytics plays an important role in decision making and understanding. And in fact the cumulative effects of analyzing data has lead to greater efficiency in countless areas of manufacturing[1], better healthcare/patient outcomes[2], and evidence based policy making[3]. Higher levels of technologies, productivity and organization don't just happen by reaching and thinking really hard. Smart people are looking at the data and doing analytics to see how they can improve their processes. Analytics are corner stone to better technology, productivity, and systems.

And sure, you can make the argument that charts and graphs themselves will not end poverty. But your missing the point. You should be asking what arguments you can make with those charts. They are often made to help you make a decision. Like everything, finding small improvements will help us understand what is working and what isn't. And with that information we can build better systems with the goal of reducing poverty.

Duck Typing and Async/Await – Make Any Type Awaitable in C#
Any fan of "modern monetary theory" should look at entities like the Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela. No government has an infinite capacity to print fiat money, and a theory based upon that as a premise is, in my opinion, complete bunkum.

I highly recommend exploring other macroeconomic theories. It is depressing how many of them amount to tricking productive firms and the labor workforce into believing a big lie of some sort, that allows some other more savvy entity to siphon value away from them.

Consumption is paid for by production. Imports are paid for by exports. Debt now is paid for by production later. Savings now is paid for by production earlier.

In theory, you can build an economy upon debts and repayment of prior obligations, but in practice, human beings are great at lying and making false promises.
Bitcoin Cash solved it. As per the original whitepaper.
Thanks, but I somehow get the feeling that it's more about not wanting outsiders telling them how to solve problems they know they should have solved a long time ago by themselves.
I overstated. I just had the thought that it would be nice if coin issuance would depend on some type of useful work (e.g. protein folding), and was glad to see that others who know a whole lot more about how cryptocurrency works, have created schemes to do just that. I have no idea on how to do it without centralizing coin issuance.
On the other hand C, Java and PHP complement each other. Whereas Python is a general purpose scripting language PHP is built for Web. It will be a huge motivation for a first year comp sci student to be able to write together a simple site in PHP and find some free host to put it in.

I think "practicality should beat purity" for an introductory course. The students usually will have a chance to catch up on Python in a data visualization class anyway.

PHP is much simpler in terms of understanding, you do not need to explain what WSGI is, what routing is, what template engines do etc. Put your code into <?php and ?> and you're all set.
How is that an issue? It looks like they are trying to help.
These are fair comments, however I think it's reasonable to say that we need more automation in the home and personal care. Health Care, IMHO, should be solved by AI and Big Data.

I'm a free market person and I believe if the government tried to legislate this, it would screw it up. Rather it should try to open the way for the private industry to create AI based health care solutions.

I'd also like to see character based communities with minimal basic income. Ie, your economic output is not relevant, but rather your character. How kind you are to others, how passionate you are about your talents, how independent you are about looking after yourself. I think this is the real solution to poverty in a world of increased automation.

I know some people want UBI without strings attached, but my feeling is that without some kind of purpose (even a non economic one) mental health issues will increase.
People love to say Apple should buy various companies but Apple has never made an acquisition for more than a few billion.
> but I'd expect there is much more variety of resources on asteroids

As far as I understand, in terms of easy access, yes - in particular resources that on planemos tended to sink to the core as the object formed and cooled down.

> I think an orbital station is also more attractive than the Moon from a delta-V standpoint.

LEO? Not necessarily. You still need to burn your way up the pretty steep gravity well.

Both the Moon and the asteroids are vital components of expansion into the Solar System; they're interesting in different ways.
Just anecdotally I can confirm that different development and product teams work good with JIRA and Confluence in conjunction.

The agency I work at uses these tools together with ovur clients, as well as internally on different levels.

We have an internal project were we are just using tasks, subtasks with 3 states in a team of 9 in three to four locations. And we have a client, being served with about 100 people in different teams working on multiple projects, spanning multiple locations. Here we use the same tool. In one case with just a basic setup. One a 'little bit' more elaborate and customized...
Amd the idea that energy must be burned for entertainment ia silly too?
Telecoms standards are slow to be defined and slow to be adopted. There would need to be a standard defined for this but there would also need to be an incentive ($$$) to implement it.

In today's mobile networks P2P (person to person) SMS is decreasing due to Whatsapp, iMessage, etc. and A2P (application to person) SMS is increasing. In the future it is suspected that majority of SMS will be A2P. A2P has more value (e.g. Facebook wanting to deliver a two factor auth code to you) so it makes sense that operators are currently focusing on monetising this.

Also, a lot of countries block Over The Top (OTT) messaging (i.e. iMessage, Whatsapp, etc.) so for some countries (and businesses) SMS is still the most reliable text delivery format.

The best economic option is probably just to go really fast and use on-board supplies for solar flare protection.

If you get to Mars in 3 months versus 9 months, your radiation dose during transit is just a third. And that also means you may be able to reuse the ship every synod (26 months) instead of every 2 synods.

That's the plan for SpaceX's BFR/ITS.
That's actually a fantastic description of Jira.
I started reading it... With issue 4 or so. It introduced me to Qt, which is why I have bread and a roof and so on right now. But around 2008 or so, it went so very, very boring and around that time, or a bit later, digital-only. I stopped reading it.
This is my long-term expectation as well. The best criticism of "BTC as payment solution" remains fees / confirmation times. And the LN directly addresses this.

But who knows how long it'll take for a critical threshold of users to adopt LN payment channels.

And, of course, skeptics will just find another point of criticism, which is good because that's how technology evolves.
People who perform assisted suicides are sometimes charged with involuntary manslaughter.

While I don't view assisted suicide as any sort of crime, I think that the relationship of the caller to the death is pretty much the same: they set up some conditions, but the police officer is the one who caused the death.

As I said from the beginning, I don't really see the societal benefit to even talking about this person.

The police need to stop killing people so that we can move on with the important matter of having a free society. That's the only story here.

I for one am in full cognitive dissonance about that. On the one hand, I understand how much of a pipe dream Star Trek is, and on the other hand, I strongly believe it sets a standard worth aiming for.
If you had a kid you couldn't afford to provide for, that's pretty clear evidence of a lack of preparedness.

> The next thing that drives poverty is various intractable personal problems, such as health issues, learning disabilities and mental health issues. One thing society can do to reduce the degree to which such issues separate the Haves from the Have Nots is to provide universal health care.

"One way we can reduce poverty is to steal from people who aren't in poverty and give it to those who are." Genius idea. I see a Nobel Prize in your future.
What I loved about Ready Player One was that it was an unapologetic celebration of obsession and nostalgia. It was a plot contrived to create a setting where those qualities were what was needed to save the world. It's not particularly deep outside of that, and I don't really mind.

Geekdom is becoming more popular in popular culture, but RP1 does it in a special way that I can appreciate. The Big Bang Theory does standard sitcom stuff and plays a laugh-track when recognizable "geeky" thing happens like a character having a Nintendo 64 on-screen for a moment. RP1 has an infodump about an easter egg and a glitch in a specific arcade game (... not entirely different than some of the type of nonfiction I like) and then works it into a contrived but fun plot point. It paints a world where many characters are driven by obsession, and that this isn't a spectacularly weird thing they do. (Yes, the book does take it to some amusing extremes.) Maybe it's the likely asperger's syndrome in me talking, but I feel like obsession is a big thing in my life, and it's fun to find a story that actually embraces that.

Yes, I know that the way the character often interacts by trivia-dropping is grating outside of scenarios where trivia saves the world, and possibly still a bit grating within those scenarios. I never thought those parts were being portrayed otherwise. Yes, there's common problems with fandoms about gatekeeping and lack of inclusion, and no, I don't think it's unforgivable that RP1 doesn't address these. RP1's popularity is not a dismissal by society of these issues.

No, I never thought it would be a good idea for human culture to stop creating new media and cling to 80's stuff, or felt like the book pushed for that at all. Maybe others read it differently, but I figured that the setting was like that just so the book could focus on 80s nostalgia specifically with no other media to get in the way while also having futuristic VR.
I think only #1 really counts as a gotchya. #3 is literally just "spend at least 2 seconds knowing what a slice is"

Most programming language gotchas are literally, "just spend {small time increment} learning about {thing}." Those things build up and get lost/misplaced. Programming "nickels and dimes you to death." Design is about the emergent interaction of myriad details. Programming language design is exactly that as well.

I don't feel comfortable laying the abysmal and depressing tar pit of money and productivity that is the US healthcare system at the feet of "capitalism". In my opinion, the clumsy and inefficient interplay between health care providers, insurance companies, employers, the state and (lastly) individual people strikes me as one of the least capitalist-like situations we see today. It's almost a thought experiment: what would the US look like if people could afford to choose an affordable insurance company, peruse the various healthcare providers and choose among them and, lastly, be able to predict (with some amount of reliability) their healthcare costs over time?

Personally, I can't imagine it. All I know is that it wouldn't look like what we have now. Likewise, this argument that any criticism of the US healthcare system is somehow a criticism of capitalism strikes me as particularly unhelpful.
