Kind of ironic to make this sort of calculation only to post it on medium, where it can't be read until a pop-up nag is closed. I wonder how much agony I accumulate in a year of accidentally clicking medium links.
One fairly common example of a bad C++ design edge case is the “Most Vexing Parse” problem [0].

I frequently find myself constructing objects using the () syntax will produce parse errors as the compiler is expecting a function declaration. Then replacing the () with {} just fixes it. It’s really frustrating that bad design like this is just maintained as a stumbling block for new users, instead of being fixed.

I used C++ for embedded CPU 68332 (25 MHz CPU) with 4MB of SRAM in ~1996 for DNA sequencer machine.

~100 + classes, single inheritance, 1,2, 3 Axis motor controls, CCD Camera, Laser, serial com channel, scripting engines, etc.

No template, no virtual functions. Worked very well at that time.

The compiler setup at that time is AT&T cfront generate C from C++ code ran in Mac and embedded C cross compiler generated the target code.

The classes are shared within company for different machines (biotech robots) to maximize code reuse.

This is a relevant question from the verge. If current laws are insufficient, I'm sure we'll see some proposed and passed like those addressing revenge porn.

What I'm wondering now is if the firing-by-moral-outrage of the Firefox exec in the last couple of years was the start of this campaign to dupe FF users in to using an advertising platform (perhaps it was entirely coincidental)? For real, they're not letting up on the backdoor commercialisation are they.

I'd love to know who, the people, is making these decisions?
No, if you put an IPNS hash in the TXT record you just update your IPFS node.

If you put an IPFS hash in the TXT record then you need to update that every time. I personally do this (domain name jes.xxx) because it means you don't need to leave your IPFS node running constantly in order for your IPNS name to be resolvable.

The record is:

jes.xxx.	300	IN	TXT	"dnslink=Qme12vJPtMpeUwmG2NLG11Q47jy2unSonegNJxQb9QgYax"

And I have a small shell script to update it automatically.
I agree. I think Amazon cares a lot more about logistics and future growth than the specific tax incentives being offered.

The prevailing claim that Amazon has already chosen and is trying to extract better incentives seems wrong to me. If that was the case Amazon could have approached ~5 cities from the start with a plan for each and put a far stronger competitive pressure on them.

I think what this is really about is getting the cities to do the leg work of the research and initial planning process. Amazon wasn't going to put together 200 initial site proposals and 20 more detailed ones. By letting the cities make the proposals Amazon can look at far more potential sites than if they had done the research internally.

I am always blown away by this stuff, but it still applies some distortion to the image in a way that feels slightly unnatural.

It's similar to the effect that changing focal length on a camera has. eg. Wider angle lenses seem to squish far away objects and enlarge closer objects. However, this affects the entire image in a consistent way whereas changing focal length does not.

I wonder if this could be used to simulate focal length changes?
That's entirely correct. Before it had to be prefixed with `web+` and now just `ipfs://` will work.

Apparently hyperventilation does not increase your oxygen levels, but instead reduces the amount of CO2 in your blod, which suppresses your suffocation reflexes.
Reduced width of top notification would work well on the X and Plus, but would be less usable on the smaller phones, with it being specifically unusable on the SE.

With the exception of the iPhone X, all iPhone devices have almost identical UX. In this way I do not think the author considered all of Apple's customers. Furthermore the SE, 6s and 7 are entry level phones, and Apple has an invested interest in attracting more entry level phone buyers, and in making current entry level phone users have as smooth as possible upgrade experience.

When holding my phone one handed, and a notification appears I want to open, I often tap the very side of a notification. Reprogramming my motion to reach farther would require effort. This is a cost. The author makes no mention of the costs of the UX change. Apple collects data on where a person taps on a push notification and if it appears to be a mistake. Apple is in a place to make data based design decisions. Fairpixel is not in a place to make data based design decisions on Apple's operating systems.

The purpose of the article is not to inspire change in Apple's iOS, but to push Fairpixel's brand as experts in UX/Design. I think it shows impulsiveness. Suggesting changes on hundreds of millions of devices based on evidence of one person's experience is irresponsible. Pretending like a change in UX is 100% positive and will not have costs is dishonest. Marketing your boutique firm as smarter then Apple at UX is arrogant. This article would dissuade me from working with Fairpixel in the future if I were considering it.

That's what's bothering me too. Give the same conditions to all businesses not just a favored one.
Filtering is the main reason. I've experienced this twice especially.
The first is that I'm an embedded software developer, and quite often devs don't know what that is so they'll just send blindly off an application without reading the description.

The second was when we were looking for an EE graduate and specified that applicants must have an engineering degree.
We got hundreds of graduates with every kind of degree under the sun who were just blanket sending their CV to every listing with the word "graduate" in the title.
With that many CVs we had no choice but to use a recruiter to sort through everything.
If one reads Tractatus, then a reading of Philosophical Investigations is likely needed shortly thereafter.
This smaller notification size would look pretty terrible on 4" devices like the iPhone SE. In fact, it already looks kind of terrible in the mockup provided.

IMO Apple is long overdue admitting that putting navigation buttons on the top bar was a mistake. Fine in the era of the original iPhone, but as phones get progressively bigger and taller, less so. The swipe back gesture works in most situations, but I was a fan of Allen Pike's mockup of bottom navigation on the iPhone X (or, "Pro", at the time):

https://www.allenpike.com/2017/developing-for-iphone-pro/

Having navigation at the bottom is one of the few things Android got absolutely right at launch when compared to Apple. But back to notifications, Android isn't great either: if a new notification arrives while I'm swiping old ones away there's no consideration that I might not want to swipe away something I haven't even read yet, so it disappears immediately and with no way to get it back. Frustrating.

A more general question: shouldn't such tax breaks simply be illegal?

And another question: aren't such tax breaks already illegal, if you view them as selective (anti-competitive) government subsidies?
I agree Powerbuilder isn't the best tech - the point I was trying to make is every tech has it's pro's and cons, and older techs have more to maintain while trying to stay current and get ahead, just like newer platforms can suffer from a lack of maturity. Powerbuilder didn't do itself any favors by trying to rest on it's existing marketshare.

The kind of hair pulling I heard from buddies working on otherwise interesting systems in PB was quite deep, several nights a week in it's height. The issue of using an older version of PB seemed to make things worse.

Still, it seems relevant to look at a technology in it's time compared to what else was available, and wonder if this is where today's language+framework apologists may end up in the future when one could no longer explain away their current favorite platform in 2018 as a flavour de jour.

My last comment is not not directed at you in any way - You articulated a depth of experience: Opinions based on hearsay or surface interactions about a tech is not much different in the venom spread than than judging a group on the color of their skin based on one interaction and an underlying propensity to find fault. It's harsh, but maybe it's not recognizable that it's a similar muscle.

As a simple counter factual, my daughters and I had a tremendous time adventuring in World of Warcraft. I completely agree with your sentiment that all kids are different and they might not be the D&D type (there is no one size that fits everyone). Fully embrace it though, from video games, to sports, to music, to crosswords, to dungeons. There are many different ways to connect with family.
You condescending assholes waste no opportunity to toot your horn. Your statement is as vacuous as it is wrong. First of all, there are quite a few European nations with double digit percentages of the population living under what is considered the poverty line in the US. Secondly, your rich don't give because they are more interested preserving a family name and giving the money to their descendants.
Don't know what the solution is, but this happens to me all the time too.
have you tried pemf? as you already know, anti-biotics currently cant completely eradicate lyme. it seems the only effective treatment i have seen are PEMF therapy. you can buy from companies like ampcoil.com, it is fairly expensive at about $7k but worth its weight in gold considering how life crippling lyme disease can be. i know because ive had several friends whose life been turned completely upside down due to lyme and it was difficult to watch. they couldnt go outside and always felt weak. months or even years of antibiotics didnt treat them.

then after research they ordered an ampcoil. its what they call a Tesla coil that you just put on your chest one hour a day and it emits magnetic frequencies that targets worms such as Borrelis amongst vast other things. you can actually see these little worms under microscope on your blood samples, scary little bastards. however, within short months of treatment they were pretty much back to being healthy and active again. you should seriously take a look at ampcoil, it seems to be a pretty effective treatment for lyme (i hear its got a 90% success rate), as they penetrate into worms smaller than your cells that antibiotics sometimes cant get into.
Wow, that's really bad.

"Even in the premium smartphone segment where Apple operates, it is losing share to Samsung and OnePlus, Counterpoint said.

The OnePlus 5 was the most popular premium smartphone to ship during that quarter, the research firm added."

You can't prove that you got the absolute latest data (same with DNS by the way) as it's being distributed. However, a malicious node in the network can't present you with outdated information or false information, as the IPNS record is signed with the key from the peer.

If the IPNS record wasn't signed, it would indeed be a huge flaw as it wouldn't be tied to a key from a peer. That would defeat the entire purpose of IPNS. Luckily, we don't have that flaw in IPNS :)

Yes, possibly legal. Still a form of economic sanctions though.

It's not just that they don't require employees to travel there, they also don't pay for trips "This bill would prohibit a state agency from ... approving a request for state-funded or state-sponsored travel to ..."

The bill doesn't explicitly forbid government employees (and by extension, the government of California) from doing business with North Carolina - it just adds personal, out-of-pocket cost for doing so. (which probably amounts to the same effect.)
I am very skeptical that the people setting those odds are aware of the specifics of American geography or economics, given that they had San Jose on the board before the actual finalists were announced.

Running to the doctor for non-issues is part of why our medical costs have increased so much the last few years.

Philosophical Investigations is better.
Agreed. I think critical thinking in philosophy is useful, but you have to keep in mind the critical thinking skills learned in a typical engineering degree:
advanced math classes
more advanced math classes
applying mathematics to engineering problems
programming
learning to take general math concepts and apply to large intermixed problems
working solo and on teams
*4 years of living in a library studying, doing homework, and doing more studying

I learned a lot under those conditions.
Yes, characterizing it as bribery is incorrect. It's actually much worse.

It would definitely be illegal, and the current administration would almost certainly be hostile to that. We could potentially arrive at a situation where the courts would be willing to look the other way in certain cases though. Or Congress could delegate that power to state/local governments under certain circumstances.
You may not find TDEE and macro ratio very useful, but the scientists and nutritionists that work with high end human performance do, very much. Also, why track the metric of your steps, but not the fuel that powers them?

I bought and extensively used the top level Fitbit, with GPS, when it first launched. It can be used to effectively track activity, but only by people who already have an understanding of the metrics.

The point I was making is that "10k steps" is a Dr. Oz style fitness metric, mainly for people to feel good without actually solving their problem. The problem that 99.9% of people who "get their steps in" have is a complete lack of understanding of diet and fitness.

I also have a lot of empathy for people at the beginner level. My statements might seem harsh, but they are about the snake-oil salesmanship that exists in the fitness industry, which I spend an large amount of time in, being a gym rat. Marketing these false, "simple solutions" without educating people on their health is reckless.

And yes, every single person I have ever met who got a Fitbit and talked about "getting their steps in", didn't change a single long term thing about their diet. Half the time they jumped on some no-carb fad, and acted like the ground beef, egg and cheese casserole they ate 2k calories of was healthy.

Listening to these remarkable recordings, I can't help but think that as time goes on, more and more of the artificial mental barriers we've built between us and non-human animals will fall.

I wonder if it’s possible to keep track of what existed at the pixel (or whatever the technically correct term to use here is) at the time the user clicked there, and if a new notification overwrites that pixel, only apply the user action to the previous notification.
I totally agree that systems are just systems and good recruiters can be really helpful.

The problem is that there are way more bad/spam recruiters. And those are what people most complained about. I often receive emails that really has nothing that matched my background (e.g. received an job description that required 10 yrs experience when I was fresh out of college)
Allow taps to pass through the regions of the notification pane which have a control underneath for 0.5 seconds after the notification pops up.
The irony is that when philosophers make statements like these, they never provide any empirical evidence to back it up. Does philosophy really improve critical thinking and reasoning skills? We're told it does, based on nothing more than "that's what it feels like to me". Rigorous reasoning is worthless without facts to reason on.
Is IPFS infamous for illegal content?

> C++'s and Haskell's typing systems don't look very similar, or even of similar complexity.

yet they are. The difference between the Haskell type system and the C++ type system is that generic constraints on types are explicitely specified with typeclasses in Haskell, while they are implicitely specified with templates in C++ (though this changes in C++20 with concepts).

To make a "conceptual leap" beyond the C++ and Haskell type systems, you have to use a language with dependent types such as Idris or Coq (and actually, dependent types can be simulated in C++ ! http://pfultz2.com/blog/2015/01/24/dependent-typing/ but like all simulations, it will be slower than if it was implemented directly by the compiler).

This really underestimates the amount of work that goes into UX for such a massively used product. Look no further than the ribbon to see the type of backlash that comes from any interface update.

Hyperbole and hysteria are no way to go through life. Most people who voted for trump haven't lived to regret their foolishness. That's nonsense. And it is rare for a majority to love a president. Obama had some tough moments himself and that's with newspapers and magazines literally painting him as emperors of past.

We'll survive Trump, just like we survived Obama, and survived Bush, and Clinton, etc etc.
