You’re right, of course. But that particular repo was one example. Yes that repo is brand new. But at the same time it’s the product of basically one person’s work. On the other hand you have these multi million dollar companies—if their tech stacks were the end all of stacks, wouldn’t they be able to accomplish what this lowly repo accomplishes? But they don’t. And why? Because this repo stands on the shoulders of many attempts and failures in routing with universal rendering, while GitHub and Stack Overflow are stuck in 2013, when people only rendered on the server, progressively enchanced, and back only kind of worked.

Anyway there’s also react-router, which is a project with probably 10k stars. I didn’t cite it because I think it’s not as good as “found”. But it works and will get you back functionality that works in client rendering and server rendering. So if you’re looking for bus factor, react-router has got that in 2018.

"I vehemently disagree. The whole SWE/DevOps trend isn't super popular once you leave Silicon Valley. At the end of the day, most businesses still use Windows, and most IT staff are telling people how to print correctly and resetting the passwords people forgot for the umteenth time this week. "

Both are true: even ten years ago, there was a noticeable split between helpdesk and maintenance skills, and things that we might now call "DevOps". If you have hundreds or thousands of computers, you can end up with people who specialize in stuff like building packages and disk images for deployments, writing scripts for user account management, and other automation, and don't fix printers so much any more, even if they don't have a separate job title.
On the other hand, if you work at a good place, your employer might want to send you to lots of conferences so you give them good publicity.
Erm, that is a quote. The entire abstract is "No".

Means neither '90% of Intel CPUs sold in the past five years' nor '90% of the Intel CPUs currently in use'.

At least they took five years and not the usual two years...

This ended up sounding a bit like a "back when I was a kid" story.

From the employers point of view? Absolutely!
I'll add my piece of anecdata to this. I've done a few projects that involved scraping over my career.

1. Scraping results from a property listing website, specifically to pull the properties an agent had listed and put them on their website. The agent didn't want to pay the fee for API access (they probably ended up paying my employer more to scrape it, and keep that updated, but hey).

2. Scraping an e-commerce website of a company my employer were working with to keep our product catalogues in sync - the partner had their own platform, but no API for it.

3. Automating requests to a price comparison website to find out what prices competitors are offering for particular types of customer.
The whole point of using an headless browser is to work around web sites that attempt to block simple "curl" style scraping (or where you need to execute JavaScript to scrape).

So making it detectable (intentionally, even, right there in the user agent!) is really absurd.

Or actually, it makes one wonder about Google's motives.
Better not have KeePass open while this is open. Accidental leaks are just too risky that way.
This is so nostalgic... I remember spending several days of my youth playing and, er, "boosting" my scores to earn more neopoints. Usually modifying the POST request with something like TamperData did the trick :)
Well it depends on who you're playing with. But it's a game that takes little mental load, you play on "easy mode" by not thinking too hard on your actions and just go with the crowd. Also as someone who rarely speak up, I find it easier to do it in such a game.

GOG still does curation. Valve used to decide what got on their store too but they opened the floodgates for any old crap.

Mind you Valve still has a policy against porn. Lots of games still have to link to uncensored patches.
Isn't it more like, "the browser can be coerced into revealing to the server that it is headless"?
> Apt/Synaptic got me into this broken state and couldn't get me out of it. I don't know what story you're reading, but it doesn't seem to be what I've been writing. There was nothing for me to ignore. The error wasn't something I ignored; it was the problem.

No. Nothing was broken. The updates you had asked for were about to break something if you installed them. The error message was the package manager stopping you from breaking your system.
Another interesting point:

Does this really boil down to Larry?
If he more or less abandoned Perl 5, with the intention to create the next version, but it turned out to be a completely new language. Is he right to insist that it is called Perl 6? Is he still the project lead aka BDFL of Perl 5? If not, can we just call the next version of /usr/bin/perl Perl 7?
Hi,

Johnny here, I work in product @airhelp.

We love Tripit! We love them so much we have a partnership with them:
https://travelupdate.boardingarea.com/tripit-airhelp-partner...

And originally we had a Tripit integration. But we decided to remove it for launch because we ran into a few bugs (on our side).

That is a super cool hack with Zapier, thanks for sharing. I'm currently using Fantastical 2 (on of my fav products) with connection to Google Cal. Gmail already populates my calendar with the flight times but unfortunately not the travel time to the airport. Maybe I should add some kind of buffer for all my travel events.

You get that with any ideology really. If you can reduce all the scope of all the problems in the world into a single variable, you can now blame everything on that single variable. Everything seems so easy and simple while in fact you are just being lazy.
sitting there listening to blocks of talks for long stretches while you’re trying to stay awake after lunch is a pretty inefficient way to hear ideas.

From personal experience I know that hearing planes take off every couple of minutes while you are having a BBQ doesn't ruin your day either. I know quite a number of people, including close family members, who voluntarily moved close to the airport for financial reasons. It's not for everyone, especially when night starts and landings are allowed (hich luckily isn't the case at most airports in Germany), but many people really aren't affected negatively.

Also, modern windows etc. can eliminate the noise almost entirely when you are inside. Airports often even pay for these upgrades.
That is not correct - it appears once in both. Part IV, Chapter 2 in "The Wealth of Nations" ("and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention").

On the contrary, the system you proposed has been implemented many times over the history of Linux .. I can think of GoboLinux as an example, but I think NixOS also does this (may be wrong).

I prefer to just keep the system stable through careful application of well-curated dependency graphs. I've never run into any issue, having used Linux since the very first day, that I couldn't solve by proper application of package manager tools. It seems its easy for newbies and those who don't care enough to get into trouble, but with the right attitude you can easily have systems with years and years of uptime (personal experience).
Right, but if you notice, the e and the s are adjoining keys on most common keyboards. Apologies if my wording was confusing, but I didn’t call out the es as the OP misspelling the pluralization, but rather specifically as a typo.

My mention of misspelling was there only to prevent another person from pointing it out, but alas, I still failed it seems.
Spotify actually changed my habits, in this respect.

Before, I was the quintessential hoarder, I bought CDs, bought albums on Bandcamp and torrented a ton of music. Why only get one album, when you can get the whole discography?

On Spotify, because everything is just available right there with basically no effort, I don't have to find and collect anything. I just listen to the music, and click "save" on the songs I like. The daily mixes help me listen to those same songs again, or I just put all of my saved songs on shuffle.

I'll also save favorite albums as playlists, and I've listened to those a whole lot more than when I was listening to locally-stored MP3s.

I do have a "albums to check out" list still, but it's significantly smaller than what I used to have.
I wrote a similar piece of software a few years ago. I solved that by having a config flag for each clipboard agent to disable broadcasting of their clipboard changes and only listening for changes. Then I simply activated that on the box that holds keys/passwords etc.

I don’t think it is meant to imply parents purposefully watch their kids drown. It is more of a warning that drowning isn’t obvious and can be silent. You might lay next to the pool and think you could rescue your kid at anytime, it is just a couple of meters away. But your kid may never shout for help because it is struggling to breath and stay afloat.

I watched a video of a life guard jumping into a large crowded pool, swimming towards a certain location. Even though I knew somebody is drowning there, my untrained eyes couldn’t spot the drowning person until the life guard almost reached the child. Everyone next to the child was completely oblivious and looked funny at the lifeguard wondering why he is swimming towards them.

The difference appears to be bigger. Most A380 appear to have 14 first class and 76 business class seats [1], the standard 777-300 config is only 8F42C[2]. That's nearly twice as many premium seats.

This article is mostly accurate about Smith (although the man himself was much more favorable to entrepreneurs and innovators than is presented), but fairly inaccurate that “Right-wing” politics is some perversion of Smith. At the end, we get a taste of what he means in that Thatcher privatized various state industries during her run as Prime Minister in the '80s.

Otherwise, an entire sub-field of economics (it would be a sub-field of "political economy" if that term were widespread today) is Public Choice, which demonstrates rather well that often state intervention is at the behest of the "merchant interests." Public Choice is a direct descendent of Adam Smith’s thinking. Indeed, the very term "state capture" that the author invokes frequently probably derived from "regulatory capture," a term Public Choice helped propagate.

There is also a misunderstanding that Smith’s "invisible hand" concept implies some sort of Utopian paradise, when in fact, Smith meant more that aspiring monopolists who are nonetheless in competition with each other (and often in cooperation with others) lead to an increase in social gains, which on its own seems paradoxical and is highly counterintuitive. Modern economics seems founded on maximizing or minimizing every possible variable of interest, so I suppose some people may actually argue that the invisible hand is a statement about maximization, which it definitely isn’t. In practice, the only people I see invoke the "Invisible Hand" in this manner are harsh critics of any sort of free enterprise regardless of the context, and always advocates of state intervention and thus regulatory capture ("[people] of the system", indeed).

I am most surprised that Smith's sympathies for labor do not appear in this essay, as they seem to be quite strong. Smith discusses the effects of specialization that happens during industrialization, and goes so far as to say it makes workers with repetitive tasks "stupid." In context, his sympathies are clearly with the worker.

I guess as someone with relatively Smithian-Hayekian views, I am missing the overall point of this article, other than to hand-wring that so-called Neoliberalism (I have never met a Neoliberal) is actually unrelated to Smith’s ideas and are a perversion. He is entirely unconvincing, even if one accepts for the sake of argument that "neoliberalism" exists as a coherent philosophy or even ideology (it doesn't).
Exactly. That's the real world.
The problem with CodeMash is that it’s only viable thanks to people who are willing to devote huge amounts of time and effort into preparing for and running it.

Weren’t there other issues? Pension debt and union issues were hurting those companies for years, the slowdown just nudged them over and then a lot of that stuff got restructured.

There are a ton of variables, not having a self driving play seems like a concern for an auto company, other than that it seems like it could play a lot of ways and there is still this giant culture thing where cars symbolize so much
Yes, because almost no one had a glasses-free screens available at the time. But we have VR already,and low pixel count is a huge problem with it - 720p screen is going to be horrendous no matter what you do, it's been tested before and it's just not pretty.
That's nothing new, really. I was taught programming (but not much, just a little BASIC, and I already knew it by the time) in a public elementary school in Czechoslovakia in late 1980s, during the communist regime period.

But it should be pointed out that the real socialist society was much more do-it-yourself than western capitalist societies are. Mostly out of necessity, but partly because people had quite a bit of free time and couldn't freely associate (and argue about politics on social networks). So hypothetically, if the communist regime continued to this day, programming skills would probably become much more useful to an ordinary person.

I understand where your coming from, Intel's communication on this issue was pretty awful.

But in this specific case I don't really mind them publishing an "expected" result of one benchmark together with a lot of other ones. Not everybody understands the problem as well and is able to tell which use cases are affected or not. If you send them to this site and all they see are negative numbers they might not be able to tell that nevertheless there are other use cases without significant impacts.

And I find it completely fair for them to show that not everything is affected the same, and show the whole spectrum starting with zero impact.

At AirHelp we're not selling your data to any third party companies. We simply do not do this. We only use the data we find to do 2 things:

1. Find compensation for you if there are any.
2. Show some cool flight stats

Our business model revolves around helping people get compensation not selling user data to external companies.

> Software that can be freely accessed, redistributed, and modified can be the basis of a successful business.

and later:

> SaaS

The initial intent of "Software that can be freely accessed, redistributed, and modified" was to limit the control the distributor had on the end user (At that time, the question of service providers running software for you wasn't so relevant).

Although SaaS can certainly be more user-friendly and convenient, it still takes away some control from the end user ... to give it back to the service provider.

Actually, the man who coined the word "Open-Source" does not like Saas very much:

"In general, I don’t allow myself to rely on such services. And I have a rule: unless I can get all my data back through some sort of export or dump function in a non-obfuscated format, I won’t go there. I recommend this rule to others as well." ( Eric.S.Raymond, http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=932 )

This is the great strength of capitalism. We might hear about the plot of South African and mourn their descent into dehydration as a dark future that awaits many.

Emirates leases their planes on 12 year contracts. They do this because they want to have a young fleet. Singapore Airlines does the same. The leasing company might be stuck with the plane after the lease is up, but the airline is not going to care all that much as long as leasing companies are ready to enter into new deals.

Those leases will typically cover the costs of the aircraft, so the leasing company will basically get a 12 year old airplane for free that they can use to generate a profit from (lease, sell or part out) as they wish. Though there does not seem to be any demand for used 380s right now. The one Singapore Airlines has returned (for an entirely new one on a new lease) is currently in storage without engines. Apparently the parts are worth 100 million dollars. It will be interesting to see how that continues to play out when more leases end, since it's unlikely that there will be buyers for say 200 planes worth of spare parts when ony 100 planes are still in service...
