Had to go through a Lyme treatment last year myself.. it was not fun. The antibiotics regime was easily one of the lowest points in my life - just felt terrible for weeks.

The thing I was taught by this experience, is to never, ever screw around with it. In my case I was attacked by a swarm of ticks during a hot period (Vienna, Austria) and I kind of ignored the bites .. thought nothing of them after discovering the ticks (2) and removing them .. but after 2 days, I had 4 red splotches over my body, and it was clear that I had the characteristic 'bullseye' symptoms.

Thought "okay, I can live through this" and didn't do anything about it for about 5 - 6 weeks; splotches went away, and I thought I was fine. No. Just, no. I was not fine.

Aches and pains like none I've experienced before (being Australian, I've had a few nasty bites in my life), and malaise and lethargy that was seriously affecting my ability to live life. Doctor told me I was an idiot for not coming in right away - that I could very well have done damage to my brain - and was put on a super strong antibiotics regimen .. which was pain itself, since it screwed with everything.

Anyway, had my blood tests, and they think I'm fine. But I have to go back in a month for another round of tests - because even if you think you're fine, after Lyme, you may not be fine for a few years. It can persist in the human body.

So, don't be a fool like me: if you get a tick, go immediately to the doctor and get it sorted. Trust me the symptoms are just awful.

I disagree with this, because if this would be true, you would have no idea who Coco Chanel was.
I guess native needs to be qualified. I would say that Native means it speaks the ABI of and fits into a specific platform.

I would say that the C family languages are traditionally native of most operating systems [1] as they are polyglot and can directly speak whatever C ABI dialect is used there; they also work with the native platform tools.

C# is really native of the .Net platform and although it can be AoT compiled it either can't talk directly with Win32 or the interfacing is not seamless. Also it has its own set of tools.

Android and iOS are interesting because although they are clearly unix derivatives, the unix interface is not the primary interface; so arguably C and C++ are not really native there while Java and ObjectiveC/Swift respectively are.

[1] Or to be fair, of unix and any operating system that can be made to look like unix (Windows).
Click and drag it to the right.
You can swipe (with the trackpad or magic mouse, only works when the cursor is hovering over the notification) or drag the notification to the right to make it go away.

Exactly, I think this is the best (minor change) solution to the problem, not changing the width.
Yeah, they're a bit strict. A possible solution is to ask for 'user.signingkey' in the config file and, if exists, expect a "good (G)" signature, but always warn about any other other unexpected state different than "good (G)" and "no signature (N)". Thanks rurban!

This article may be from 1988, but it seems somewhat applicable to current events.
Those specific issues do not obviously exist if the language lacks value semantics. Other issues of course do exist, namely allocation overhead and pointer chasing and the difficulty of doing escape analysis.
Strictly speaking, there are no foreign companies in China.

Only joint ventures, and the Chinese partner has to have the majority. Otherwise you are not going to do business there.

So it may be very well in scope of established rules.

I feel like Facebook does this in their app when you post something to a page and it pisses me off to no end. I know as soon as I post something it's going to pop up a full-screen confirmation so I'm hovering over the X to close it and as soon as it pops up I tap it... and tap. And tap. And tap tap tap tap tap tap come on I have other stuff to do and tap tap tap tap and now finally it closes.

If that was a widespread problem. It would have been another "gate". Like "BatteryGate", "AntennaGate", and "Bendgate". There hasn't been a "Bendgate".

There also haven't been widespread reports that Apple told people that couldn't make calls on there phones to buy another phone - if that were true there would be yet another class action suit. The lawyers would have been salivating.
Familly culture and who kids socialize with plays big role in which activities kids enjoy or find valuable. Especially small kids want to do same things as they see parents do (double bonus for parent of the same gender). Majority of skills are acquired during life whether from parents, teachers, friends, books or from playing around. You can not really manipulate them into hobbies in long term, but you and environment definitely can influence chances.

I never have the sound turned up on my phone. Most people I know are the same.
This isn't something bothering me. What is bothering me is more than I get the same notifications on different devices. I get Read This Email on my phone. I read the email, 2 hours later I pickup my iPad and I see the same notification while I already dealt with the email.
In my experience, technical people are dogs, visual people are cats, would be the most succinct way I can put it.

> it's one of the few languages that gives you low-level control of memory and fast code with zero or near zero cost abstractions. So for a certain class of application it's still the best choice.

For a certain class of program, you mean. For applications specifically, the advantages you mention are barely relevant. Usually only small parts of a whole application need low-level control of memory etc. Those can be written in C, with the rest written in a cleaner higher-level language that interfaces easily with C (there are many such)

C++ is proof that a single language can't satisfy all needs. It tries to do the low-level stuff as well as C, and fails because it can't produce libraries that are as easy to link to. Then it tries to do all the high-level stuff as well as other languages, and utterly fails because it can't get away from its low-level roots. D, Rust, and Nim all make better compromises that suit just about all C++ use cases. Go and Pony do a better job for some but not others. I won't say there's no room for C++ in a sane computing world, but its legitimate niche is very small indeed.

Programmable Droplets
Same. I allow lock-screen notifications from important things (mail, messages) and disable every other notification. Getting constant notifications would be my nightmare
I believe that's what the previous poster means, you get a namespace that points to the canonical version of your resource, whatever that may be. Kind of like how HEAD is an alias for the latest SHA on a branch in git. But I don't know, this is just how I understood the previous comment.

Glad to see people who clearly understand that "Open Source" does not encompass everything.
Android simply lets you swipe the notification left to make it vanish - can you not do something similar with Apple?

I guess its still an issue if you just want to ignore the notification for a moment and not get rid of it yet however.
How would that help? Not saying you are wrong, just not seeing how it would help so would like you to explain your theory more.

At the expense of non common options, which become undiscoverable.

When I open a software for the first time I'll often scan all the menus once, to get an idea of supported features and their categorization. I'll randomly rescan the menu from time to time when I feel like learning something new/want to further my expertise.
This is a bug from development :) I saw this and will be fixed on next release. Thanks for reporting.
Of course, in such a case, the vibration should be before the popup...
When you find a tick, make sure to take the necessary precautions. I know someone who could've carried it with him for as much as 72 hours before discovery, and who didn't go to the doctor. He ended up with lyme.

Whereas if he had gotten antibiotics right after he'd probably have been okay.
> For example, why does C++ still support EBCDIC?

You might imagine EBCDIC was a thing of the distant past, and you'd be wrong. As of at least 2013 there was still production systems using EBCDIC being actively developed. In COBOL. And not just at IBM.

> Doctors in the US are unionized, for the economical sense of the word,

No they are not, for any sense of the word.

> and it is one of the reasons of high cost of health care and under-supply.

No, they are not. Aside from the fact that doctors collectively have about zero control over the total supply, physician earnings account for about 7% of healthcare expenditures. That's a drop in the bucket, even if you reduced that to zero.

> Otherwise, the U.S. would bar foreigners from practicing software engineering, and limit the amount of people that can have a software license.

This much is completely true, and you can look to the incredibly long and xenophobic history of labor unions for evidence of that.

[citation needed]

I'm skeptical of the weather argument. I would expect the homeless to move to Los Angeles or San Diego first.

Of course, that's assuming the homeless have the mental capacity to even make the conscious decision to move there. I don't think most addicts or mentally disabled people have the wherewithal to make a move from, say, Chicago to SF. (I.e. how do you make a planned move with (a) no money and (b) no Google to figure out the commercial train line routes you can hop a ride on for free? Hop a train in Chicago and maybe end up in Lansing, Michigan or Toronto instead!)

5 Solution Differentiation Moves That Customers Love
That's my reaction to that argument as well, whenever I hear it. "Over X amount of time you're saving X minutes/hours/whatever". It's nonsense, especially when we get into the seconds or microseconds, amounts of time hardly worth saving.

There are far more important reasons to not interrupt someone's workflow than "closing the notification takes precious seconds from my life". It's not the 2 seconds it takes to switch back to the other app, it's the 1 minute 45 seconds it takes to get my mind back to my original task or the 23 minutes that I'm distracted by whatever the attention-thief was.

Or worse yet, it's the lifetime and several hundred dollars when I become so frustrated that I switch to another phone. It's the $3 and hours of use that I've wasted when I switch to an app that doesn't demand push notifications.

Complaining about seconds wasted is ridiculous. If a second is "wasted", you're losing a lot more than just that one second. Don't make your argument based on the least impactful point.
Dear Apple, please disable notifications. Nobody needs them.
The text reads: ".. in July 2016. Theoretical physicist Ali Kaya is one of them. He was arrested three months after the failed coup and held for more than a year before his trial took place. On 20 December ..." — that sounds like December 2016 to me, not 2017.
Swipe up on iOS, but that doesn’t help when you were milliseconds away from touching an onscreen control and it appeared. I heavily control what apps can show notifications, yet I seem to have this happen multiple times a day like the article author.
The gotcha there is that you can use multiple gateways to access you page. So you are right, you need to have a http <--> ipfs but you can have many of then and anyone hosting an IPFS node can have a copy of your page and serve it.
Not that it actually matters, but, didn't she wear what she designed?
Yes, you swipe it up. This is a nonissue.
"IPFS support is coming to Firefox soon"

I do the same, my commute from home to the office is very short, I take one station of a commuter train and two subway stations, most days I have enough time to kill that I forgo the subway trip and walk from and to the train station.

This article suffers from a lack of precision in important terminology. "Drug companies" are typically understood to be research based pharmaceutical companies such as Merck or generics companies such as Teva (I realize there is some overlap).

The entities mentioned in the article seem to be drug wholesalers who act as middle men between manufacturers and pharmacies. This is not merely a semantic difference.

There is certainly an opioid crisis in this country but poorly edited journalism that does not adhere to the accepted nomenclature of the industry only clouds the issues and obfuscates who the actual bad actors are.

This Trump dictator hysteria is getting ridiculous (responding to the article you linked.)

If anything we should be alarmed now outraged that the FBI was actually working to influence American elections — which is what the evidence is starting to heavily suggest. But, that is another discussion.

Right wing nutcases were talking about the potential of Obama postponing elections or attempting to seek a third term or similar malarkey— we laughed at those people just a few years ago but now we are seeing almost identical and equally nonsensical claims about Trump — for no other reason than ideological disagreement and Hillary-Defeat-Depressive-Syndrome.

Here’s a link about an Obama third term scenario for Zero Hedge — a variation of this FUD was posted all over various right wing blogs.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-16/obama-wants-third-...

And now, right on cue, we have the left doing the same thing.

Just stop. Trump doesn’t care about being a dictator, he just wants to finish his presidency and cash in on the speaking circuit and book tours while kicking back in Florida.

I am not necessarily for or against Trump — but I am definitely tired of otherwise intelligent people falling into some of the most factless wild-eyed conspiracy theories.

The implication that the US is similar to Turkey is not even remotely supported by facts or history. Let’s stop with the false equivalencies.
You bill yourself? Where do you send the money?
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. It would also be nice to signal what's happening to the user by fading in the notification, so that only when it's solid does it intercept your tap.

I think I heard of that too. But in order to improve these rules need to be extended to fund the cleanup (i.e. a fund for cleaning up any old debris + the fraction of satellites whose decomissioning doesn't work). Otherwise, the situation is slowly getting worse anyway.

Nice implementation. Like face detection also text-detection would be nice, to avoid distorting / aliasing text (like in advertisements).

> precisely something you'd want to do if you were crazy and hated the West.

That assume the leadership is actually crazy and hating the west, though, rather than a mix of in a bind because their own propaganda has made a lot of their population expect a hard line against the west, and genuinely believing they are facing a threat.

To dig into history, Reagan by most reports reacted to the indications of the Soviet fear over Able Archer 83 [1] (where the Soviets may have come dangerously close to thinking the NATO exercise was a smoke screen for an intended first strike) with shock that they might have actually seen America that way. He later wrote in his autobiography (copied from Wikipedia):

> "Three years had taught me something surprising about the Russians: Many people at the top of the Soviet hierarchy were genuinely afraid of America and Americans. Perhaps this shouldn't have surprised me, but it did...During my first years in Washington, I think many of us in the administration took it for granted that the Russians, like ourselves, considered it unthinkable that the United States would launch a first strike against them. But the more experience I had with Soviet leaders and other heads of state who knew them, the more I began to realize that many Soviet officials feared us not only as adversaries but as potential aggressors who might hurl nuclear weapons at them in a first strike...Well, if that was the case, I was even more anxious to get a top Soviet leader in a room alone and try to convince him we had no designs on the Soviet Union and Russians had nothing to fear from us."

In other words: if your opponents seems to act irrational, it's worth considering that maybe it is because you don't understand their world view. If someone is threatening to nuke you left right and center, is it more likely they are crazy, or that their starting worldview has led them to a conclusion that they are under such dire threat that they have no other choice than to play up their capabilities as deterrence?

It is worth considering because the avenues to defend against a madman vs. a scared but mostly rational person are potentially very different. E.g. the latter is more likely to respond well to attempts at giving them reasons to feel safer.

(and as much as I dislike a lot of Reagans legacy, the above realisation was a large part of him changing tack on foreign policy towards actually talking to the Soviet leadership, and it made a huge difference, and he deserved praise for doing so instead of just blindly continuing to push the same aggressive line he started out with)

The latest would be a link like /ipns/yourcompany.com, and you'd have a TXT record pointing at your node's IPNS hash (or an IPFS content hash directly) and you update it by either updating what your node's IPNS hash points to, or by editing the DNS record to point to the latest IPFS content hash.

This would be a good change for them to make.

I wish they’d also force apps to differentiate between functional notifications to actually use the app (eg “Your Uber has arrived!”) vs advertising notifications (“Discounted Ubers today!!”) I want the former but not the latter. Currently I don’t have that choice though, it’s all or none.
