Yeah, at the time I didn't understand the HTML5-all-the-things craze. To me at the time, it seemed silly. No new functionality, but "now in JavaScript" (which was much worse performing and nastier to work with back then). It seemed very cargo cultish.

Granted I think it worked out better in the end, as we now can maintain all UX functionality in a single project rather than having to split across various plugins.

But you're right. I didn't foresee the side effect but it's notable: now it's impossible to kill these ads so easily anymore. Granted, the advertisers would have figured this out and redone everything in JavaScript by now regardless.
That's almost worse in this context: a place that kills within hours will be shunned quickly after being (re)discovered, after killing only a small handful of people.

Somewhere that subtly poisons over twenty years could blight multiple generations with radiation related illness that a less scientifically sophisticated culture is unable to tie to the materials we hide.
> Not only do people in ancient stories not switch sides in fights but Achilles, say, would never win because his army was composed of the rejects from the Trojans’.

It's not in the Iliad, but in the Aeneid one of the Greeks pretends to desert in order to sell the story of the Trojan horse, and the Trojans do kindly accept him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinon

(However, it turns out that that he was still really loyal to the Greeks and the Trojans made a mistake by believing him.)
>That's a sinister use of the word "they".

No, it's a pragmatic use. When you're persecuted, burned in furnaces, kept in concentration camps, gassed, etc -- and the rest of the population don't lift a finger about it, if not cheering, then you don't sit to ponder whether 100% of the German population does that to you, or it's just 70%, or maybe "merely" 30%.

>Do you allow non-Jewish Americans to resent Jews for their dramatic over-representation in positions of power, influence, and information gate-keeping (e.g. journalism, entertainment media, the Supreme Court, Congress, academia, the Federal Reserve)?

They sure are allowed to suspect people of the same roots helping out each other -- as opposed to a meritocracy. But even so, that's nowhere even remotely close to what the Jews themselves suffered, it's so lighter an offense that it's not even in question.

Besides, it's not what you "allow" or not "allow". It's what people will do anyway.

>Do you allow non-Black Americans to resent blacks for their disproportionate violence and anti-social behavior; for their dramatic over-representation in entertainment media; and for the astronomical net tax burden they foist upon everyone else (just over $10,000 per black American per year)?

Allowing it or not, they do. And if one statistically lives in areas where e.g. blacks are predominantly doing crimes, or they have suffered (like a friend who was shot in Atlanta mowing his lawn, because some dude had to get "initiated"), they also get to be fearful and even resentful. It's pragmatic, and it includes the whole group (and not just the bad apples in it) for plain statistical reasons. You can never know exactly all the actual bad apples (it's not like someone will hand you a list in advance) to avoid. But you learn to be more careful when around group A or B in certain situations or surroundings, for purely statistical reasons.

That's not the same as racism -- just a generalization. Heck, you can consider blacks perfectly equal, and capable of anything any white can do, and persecuted unjustly by the police, and redlined, and so on, and still not want to walk alone through central Los Angeles at 3:00 AM.

Southern slave owners, on the other hand, were racist without any provocation -- if anything, they DID the provocation by abducting and enslaving people, and they still considered them inferior.

(Not sure about the $10K per black/year amount. Even if true, it could be a drop in the bucket compared to state owned recuperations for past deeds such as, I dunno, the whole slavery thing. Continuity of state and all --
countries still pay for what they did in wars decades and centuries ago).

>When you abuse the word "they", it's going to be abused back at you.

Perhaps, but I don't see how.
Xorg is the crappiest piece of software I have ever used.

If I had an euro for every time I was unable to log in because of corrupted Xauthority I'd be rich. Its inner workings are absolutely retarded, and I pity anyone who is forced to develop for it.

This is horrible news.

Also, are you sure your WM won't be updated to work with Wayland..?
Agree with you, but I always thought highly of Newton coz he died a virgin. Not that I aspire to be like him :D But he was a hardcore scientist through & through. Maybe that's why I always thought of him as "out of this world" genius.
My Pacemaker Is Tracking Me from Inside My Body
When you hear this, you say: "I appreciate your position, but I just can't find a business reason to justify lowering my rates."

Ultimately, it comes down to this. Do they view you as a someone special, a person who can really deliver value in a unique way, or do they view you as a commodity?

If they view you as a commodity, they'll try to pull all sorts of stunts like this one. But if there's a special bond, they will respect your rates and try harder to get you onboard.

So perhaps if you are getting asked this question, it's because they're too lazy to learn more about you and haven't really figured out that special thing you bring to the table. There isn't enough of a relationship yet.
Web SQL was never in Firefox.

The problem with Web SQL was that the spec was effectively just "whatever SQLite does". That isn't good enough for the Web. Imagine if the GIF specification had been "whatever GIFLIB does". Libraries like Lovefield can be built way faster than specifications can be written.
If that was true, it could happen towards any group and at all times, but it usually happens to specific groups in specific scenarios.

The anger and outrage helped keep blacks down, and thus their wages down, and keeping them for asking for more and competing with whites. Just like before the civil war it helped justify their being kept as slaves, and thus function as profit centers.

So it's not just irrational fear.

Great, so the extra tax I'm levied to make up for Amazon's skipping on theirs

The argument I'm making is that this is largely supposition and that no additional taxes will be imposed as a result of Amazon picking a given city. So sure, if your taxes don't go up at all, I'll gladly pick up that difference.

Of course I haven't proven my case that taxes won't go up; but neither has anyone in this thread made a case for them inevitably going up.

The incentive packages obviously violate some peoples ideas about what is fair, but that is different than the incentive packages obviously being an economic negative.

I live in France, the Country Of The Cheque.

This is old - fashioned by all accounts, but in order to get rid of it, you need to have a good infrastructure to fill the void. Make no mistake, this is very much doable but requires planning.

I use a chèque to pay something at my children's school or other not so well connected places. Removing chèques (which I would be delighted of) means that they need specific accounts in banks (tagged with a project, a school trip,...), something which is not readily available today.

> Prohibited from designing or manufacturing digital electronic products in such a way as to prevent reasonable diagnostic or repair functions by an independent repair provider. Preventing reasonable diagnostic or repair functions includes permanently affixing a battery...

This is exactly how iPhones currently are. The batteries are affixed using adhesive strips that can be pulled by repair locations, including Apple. Anyone can open an iPhone with the proper screwdriver, and the first thing you can take out is the battery. Then you just remove a shield, swap some cables, put in a new battery, and it’s done.

If they actually wanted to make change, they would have explicitly said “without adhesive” or “consumer is able to open without specialized tools.” This is no more than posturing.

Edit: To clarify, adhesive strips aren’t glue. Glue implies you can’t remove it at all without melting the glue. Adhesive strips have pull tabs that, when properly used, will completely take the battery out of the case.
the bill would ban the sale of electronics that are designed “in such a way as to prevent reasonable diagnostic or repair functions by an independent repair provider

Wow, that's pretty broad. Affects almost every kind of consumer electronics. Will be interesting to watch the resulting lawsuits.

This is a really important point. Our company is using Terraform in a limited way, but Puppet is our primary automated configuration management tool. Similarly in Puppet, `ensure => latest,` on package resources isn't necessarily dangerous, but it can add a lot of confusion without intentional commits against the control repositories.

I think pretty quickly people will not believe the fakes. Rather what I am afraid of is the converse, the existence of easy fakes making people believe real video/photos aren’t real.
A city's tax revenue isn't "lower than it should be" with Amazon's headquarters (subsidized by the taxpayer). If they don't attract Amazon, they don't get any money at all. With Amazon, they get increased employment and all the taxes employees are now paying. And all the benefits of having a tech giant centered in your jurisdiction. It's a win-win for Amazon and any cities willing to play.
I racked my brain in disagreement at first with her claim (I took a fair amount of ancient literature classes in college and continue to read ancient literature when I can), only to find I couldn’t come up with many examples that contradict her. In fact I even began to think on the Bible, the one document I’m sure we would all think of as being moralizing, but even it contains passages that don’t assume the good guy/bad guy trope:

In the Joshua narrative (a part of the Bible that troubles a lot of people for its wholesale slaughter of ethnic groups) before they sack Jericho Joshua sees an angel and asks which side he is on, and the angel replies, “neither” (Joshua 5). Similarly in Deuteronomy the existence of other deities is presumed in some passsages, but they are meant for “other nations” (Deuteronomy 4). And my favorite example, God tries to kill Moses after he commissions him (Exodus 4:18).

Here’s the thing though, when ethnicity and familial ties no longer are the thing binding a society together, the only thing left is ideology. If we want to live in a pluralist society we have no choice, but to embrace narratives that bind us together through morality and ideology. Universalism is a powerful tool, it can create a society like the US, which has many faults and sins to be sure, but is the only society in history to elect a member of, what was very recently, a slave class to its highest political office. Universal also has its dark side in things like the fascisms of the early 20tj century.

It seems like we might be migrating back (or around?) to a non-Universalist sentiment around the world in the current backlash against globalization. The impetus definitely has some nationalism and racism in it, but it feels different to me than a moralizing racism of the past that assumed racial superiority, and now seems to be rooted in a theory of primacy (it’s not that we’re better, but we come first, e.g. “America first”).

It makes sense to me that we are migrating away from Universalism. Our collective psyche cannot fathom the indirect violence that we are all wreaking on each other right now (and the immense catastrophes we are all about to suffer).

Interesting, hadn't heard about Isenkram. I have no idea if there is any relation. I would have to ask Ikey Doherty (the main Solus developer) directly. The only similar projects he mentioned on Reddit were Jockey and (I think) Gnome Software.
One could say these objects are both. They pick up sound, acting as microphones, and send it back out by vibrating, acting as speakers (amplifying it by a factor of less than one). The camera acts as the microphone for ‘hearing’ that sound.

I think you could hear that produced sound with a traditional microphone, but you would probably call it the echo of the original sound, and it might be hard to hear it over the original, typically much louder, sound.

On the contrary, I think we should apply it selectively, and chose when and on whom to apply it.

For history is important to consider but not all historical situations are alike.

We could justify a reaction from whatever side, if they had equally suffered from the other side.

History is painful, and we might say "but she's just married to an X citizen, what's the harm", but the other's that got offended might have visions of their family or friends or themselves being killed, or treated badly because of being non X. It might not have been that particular X citizen that did those offenses, but they didn't see other X citizens rushing to their rescue either -- on the contrary, they might have seen a lot of them cheering for it. (And I'm sure the same would hold if an Israeli woman was revealing in a Israeli channel that she was married to an Egyptian -- and it could still be justified and understood under their experiences).
I'd suggest it's not clear cut what role porn played in the VHS vs. BetaMax format wars. People often bring up that BetaMax was the superior format, but overlook that it was only the superior format in one regard (picture quality). In other metrics, VHS was either the superior format (recording length) or roughly equal (audio quality).

I'd also suggest there was also a key factor accelerating the growth of VHS over Betamax, which was one of cost. VHS was supposedly cheaper than Betamax at the launch of VHS, and the price difference would only have increased as its market share grew and the effects of scaling up mass production were in place.

If it fails, it would be fixed soon. The driver still has the window. I'm struggling to see how an immediate failure of speed readout etc would immediately endanger the car? Assuming it performs no control function.

Seems like a really great idea for small projects to help grow your skills. Also seems like a great place to spawn some open source projects.

As an aside, I think it would be neat to sort open source projects by technical skills needed.
That's not a library, it's a platform. There are all kinds of platforms stuck on ancient Java versions (Android), for which libraries are not always compatible. Every package you'll use is compatible, unless you're Mozilla's build system.
Consider an array of qubits forming a register. Now, a cavity resonator’s state can be expanded in a photon number basis. If you truncate the cavity resonator to 2^n photons, then map the 0 photon ket to the 0 state of the register, the 1 photon key to the 1 state of the register, all the way up to the 2^n photon state of the register to the 2^n photon state of the register. Now you’ve mapped the cavity state onto the register and they’re informationally equivalent

9 WordPress Web Design Myths and Mistakes to Avoid
I've been living and working in Atlanta for 20 years. During that time there has never been a shortage of well paying tech jobs. Sure they are mostly corporate jobs and not the cool hipster startup jobs, but right now the salary for developers with at least 5-8 years of experience in the right stack is $100K. On the upper end $140K+.

That salary affords you a house in one of the 20 most affluent cities in the US (Johns Creek) or one of the 20 most affluent counties (Forsyth) without being house poor.
