Cocoa is pretty painful compared to web UI alternatives like Electron. I feel stupid for mastering it considering there’s no jobs there and the Mac App Store is probably impossible to make any money off of anymore.

Sooo, being able to distribute data globally is good for performance? Who knew? The thing about distributed systems, including distributed databases is that they need to navigate around the the CAP theorem(Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance, pick two, essentially,) and every solution is ultimately a trade off. This article would be a lot more interesting if it showed how CockroachDB made a better trade off than the other solutions listed.

I'm probably bringing my own US biases in, but I think objectively that more comfortable => less pride in appearance. Not less pride overall just pride in appearance.

(You're not a bad person because you only wear cargo shorts! You just don't value your appearance as much as somebody who always wears suits.)

I'd love to learn of (and maybe live in) a culture that thinks elastic-waist sweatpants show a sense of pride rather than somebody who (for the moment) is choosing comfort over appearance.
I can do all of that on an iPad pro... and a lot more. If I don't want to check my email, I don't.

So GP was right, this is competing with iPad Pro's and actual paper.
At my previous company we built our own CDN because we were streaming video to a long tail of global users for a limited library. The problem with off-the-shelf CDNs was they couldn't keep our content cached for the long tail, but for the same price we could replicate our limited library to bare metal. Traditional caching could then go on top of that.

This was a huge win for QoS on cache misses, which were a significant portion of our traffic. There are tons of tradeoffs to make this happen which is why we couldn't find an off-the-shelf solution to deliver the same results.
At the end of the day, something has to be wired to the A/C to provide control and the majority of houses today are already equipped with that wiring inside the home (usually into a wall). I don't think there's any rule that says you have to have this in a wall, but I'd be willing to bet most people will prefer having that fancy smart thermostat mounted in the same place the old one was (myself included).

If nothing else, I think it creates a sense of security in that they'll be able to still use it if they lose their controller or their phone dies.
Pebble didn't directly go out of business. Their leadership decided to cash out with a partial acquisition and laid off everyone who wasn't in engineering.

The financial situation of Pebble remains unknown to the public.

With a $269 price tag, I'm not sure what the benefit of a Fitbit is over an Apple or Android watch, other than battery life.
Not true.

I have my issues with Google but they're like night and day when it comes to interoperability.
In the old days someone had to make a conscious decision to visit a site like SPLC. You weren't going to go there unless you already were interested in racist ideals. On Reddit those ideals are mixed in with everything else.
I love govc - it should be a defacto standard tool in the industry so I put it in my resume.

Only a few people, I think. It's like we found the asteroid headed for Earth and instead of panicking, just shrugged.

There are probably fifty times a day I feel a deep seated dreadxiety about something I'm doing. Wearing synthetic fibre. Finding out a soap has triclosan in it. Using a disposable nappy. Eating an avocado. Eating fish (appropriately enough, eating said synthetic fibres in that fish). And yet I have colleagues who toss aluminium cans into the garbage when the recycling is RIGHT NEXT TO IT and they do. Not. Care. I don't know what to do. Individual action is meaningless - every gallon of gas I don't burn just makes it cheaper for someone else. Maybe even the driver who wants to mow me down. I despair.
That's a societal equivalent of a fridge with a lock on it.

Yes you can think of reasons for that, but they're not especially pleasing.
You're example is a strawman. Turner Broadcasting and Facebook is like comparing apples and oranges.

About clothing apps, here are some ideas.

There are teams focusing on the social aspect and grow via influencers. I’d think about utilities (help me do something):

- Help me decide what to wear: Chicisimo, Pinterest and (believe me) Google Images;

- Help me manage my wardobre: Stylebook, Glamoutfit;

- Help me be seen by others: Wear app, Lookbook and Chictopia (this last two worked really well on desktop);

- Help me decide what to buy: ecommerce apps obvsly, or Liketoknowit; or the second-hang category of which several are working really well, and are more widely known.

- Help me get feedback from my friends, no one really working I think, or feedback from the system (Echo Look -> Spark). And a new related category popping up: get feedback from a stylist with an in-app purchase model or even subscription; Wishi, Daam are some examples. This last category will be interesting to follow.

- Polyvore - outfits ensembling;

- Rent the Runway, Stitch Fix, Instagram obvsly. And I'm sure I'm missing many, but just trying to give you ideas of how to find inspiring apps.

I wonder if online fashion is like online music in 2005/6/7... with lots of noise, some tech focused products, and the spotify's of the world starting to be built. Fun times.
Yup yup I learned this in Australia. Bloody hot but I found keeping the sun off your skin actually kept me cooler despite wearing more layers. That and the added benefit of reduced UV or whatever else smashes you in the sunshine (I love the outdoors but tend to burn quickly in direct sunlight).
>In most roles, a nice suit at the office now suggests arrogance or even distrust. Instead, we venerate the "hoodie and t-shirt" CEO.

This is definitely not the case outside of tech, and generally not the case for firms headquartered outside the major US West Coast cities. My line of work exposes me to the senior leadership of major US and global firms across the US in a wide spread of industries (tech, energy, pharma, medicine, industrial suppliers, consumer goods, automotive), and there is an almost universal expectation that middle managers and above will be dressed in business casual attire, with one's clothing becoming increasingly formal the closer one is to the top of the management pecking order.

1. Malware can infer details from CPUID to guess if it’s in a VM or not. Useful to avoid detection/analysis.

2. When processes execute in a legacy mode you may trap on CPUID to hide details the library won’t understand, or doesn’t expect to exist. To avoid backwards compatibility issues... better safe then sorry.

3. When developing SIMD related libraries which need to be portable across multiple CPU versions you may set up a CPUID mask (so trap, then hide features) to ensure compatibility on legacy computers.

Overall having the ability to trap, and rewrite the CPUID instruction is incredibly useful. The difference between denying, and rewriting just boils down to if a callback is provided or not. Both features require disabling native CPUID execution.
Whooooa!

My meter probably cost me ~£150. It's pretty high tech at that price mark. Does £800 meter also doubles as a HDTV?
So, I think about this but it just doesn't make sense.

1. Most people outside the bay need seasonal clothing. Winter is different than summer.

2. Unless you're running your washer half full, you'll need more than 10 shirts.

3. Then there's occasional wear.

At this point, you're looking at a reasonably full closet, no?
My view of suits has always been, "I work in a profession that requires me to wear this symbolic clothing."

I've avoided these kinds of careers because I want to be graded on my skill, not my ability to dress well. And suits are uncomfortable, and I like to be comfortable.
None. They are just post-ironic hipsters from the local art school.
Still haven't banned the_donald though, despite breaking far more rules than deepfakes.
Specifically, it might teach us things about the prevalence of extromophiles, which promises to open up the universe to us.

Either we use extremophiles to establish beachheads in otherwise uninhabitable places, or we adapt ourselves or other beneficial organisms with the information we learn.

For instance proteins that protect against high or low temperatures.

Less speculatively, krill can be fed to things we already eat, and some krill survive on a diet entirely comprised of extremophiles.
The context is that we're talking about people picking up the language for the first time, coming from other languages. What matters is whether the scoping rules make sense to such people.

For that, it matters whether they're coming from another function-scoped language (or are familiar with one), and whether they're used to having their variable declarations being obvious or not.

For me, when I was first learning Python, this scoping issue was a significant pain point. This is obviously an anecdote, not data, but again for purposes of "people first coming to the language" it's relevant.

Obviously once one has worked in Python for a while one internalizes things like this, just like one internalizes various things in other languages that are obvious pain points for beginners.
Great point. And another

LinkJect – An automatic link shortener and redirector for Scratch projects
A few years ago, I actually searched around for an implementation of the classic finder, so this is very amusing for me to see actually implemented!

What I was interested in back then was the idea that there was a direct correspondence between the folder window and the data structure on the hard disk, and that to the user these concepts should be indistinguishable. One part of the illusion is that a folder always appears in the same place with the same window size, to give the sense that the folder is a tangible thing with permanence.

Yes, wearing a well-fitting, tailored suit made out of fabric with a good hand appropriate to the weather is a horrible (horribly comfortable) experience to subject yourself to. Having plenty of functional jacket pockets for all of your belongings is a special kind of hell.

Integrating with HomeKit requires adding a HomeKit specific chip to each device. It would require them to reengineer all their products and drive up the cost - it's Apple being closed here, not Google.

These were not actually that different. The original Start Menu was just a menuized view of a folder hierarchy (which mostly contained shortcuts but could contain any document).

Yes. This is getting silly.

> Do you think Rust is not going to "survive for any length of time" (the OP's quote)?

That was not a quote of the OP, which was "survived" in the past tense. Hence, my comment.

You are talking about the future of how long you believe Rust will last, not about how long other technologies have failed to last.

Please, drop this. It is becoming nonsensical.
Me, it's less work than buying a new one.

True, and we hope that if we do a good enough job we can provide more value for the 10% than you get by switching even as you grow.

We’ve seen writers doing this report that they spend up to 40% of their time messing around with the platform - if we can improve on that by a chunk and let them focus on writing it adds up!
> service that charges flat fee plus 2%

The 2% is for card charges. The service charges a flat fee, probably tiered based on audience size (delivery requirements).
i'm not the person you've responded to but i can think of several reasons to use zero tier for gaming:

* gaming hardware is at home and you're playing on a mobile device

* region locked games. there are quite a few on steam.

* LAN games that you wish to play with friends

ZeroTier is actually peer-to-peer, so the added lag isn't as bad as with other vpn solutes such as openvpn
Sadly, it doesn't play iTunes music files, so it's a no go.
Most people couldn’t even read Beowulf if you gave it to them.

Many people struggle to read their own language sadly, or comprehend stories with any amount of depth. Old English is probably asking too much of them.

I’m not convinced that this is new though, we’re just far more connected to the LCD than ever before.

Edit: Translation of excerpt:

A random fact, yet one that I still find really sad.

It's far too easy to believe that "research in history" would be so much easier in the internet age.
I also use zerotier, I especially like the very very easy usage.
I remember reading somewhere that Everett's claims about the Piraha (and the implications for Chomsky's theory of universal grammar - apparently Piraha language has no subordinate clause, which is supposedly a necessary component) were eventually debunked. He had apparently not learned the language well enough at the time. Can't seem to find any source for this now but it is alluded to later in that wiki article.
One thing I am sorta, kind of, sometimes realising is that like - if you preface what you want to say, maybe with a lot of what are potentially unsure phrases, that people - in my opinion, I'm not an expert - won't take you, in certain situations, as seriously.

Brash people who lay things out in absolutes are listened to and respected more. I always suffered under the delusion that people who talked like that must really know what they're talking about and done their research - why else would they speak with such confidence? It took me a long time to realise they don't know anymore than I do, and sometimes less. I can now spot a lot of well-respected people in tech - who are admired widely and quoted endlessly - who are stunningly ignorant of some of the things they talk about.

It's also made me realise that appearance and accent matter a huge amount in tech. If a bald Indian man invented a derivative language and coined a bunch of catch-phrases and neologisms about complexity - he'd be met with memes and derision. But if an American man with thick luscious hair and an educated coastal accent does it, everyone takes him seriously.
But I like jbob's idea.

You can cut a huge chunk of the cost out of the Nest if you drop the LCD, touchscreen glass, and fancy stainless steel housing.

It could be a simple plastic box with the CPU, radio, sensor and control relays inside, and then a hidden mechanical thermostat knob/control to use as a floor + emergency override if the internet cuts out or the phone goes away.

Agreed, free speech is the ultimate (meta) right. Censoring speech rights for good and noble causes, has always created dire for some group of people.
This is wrong on so many levels... Just to point out the physiological misunderstanding: The word "binary" is quite misleading when applied to neurons.

While neurons do work in concrete impulses, these impulses encode continuous values in the frequency domain.

The evolutionary mechanism is also wrong: Starvation is also largely absent today, so any evolutionary pressure to preserve energy would be equally unimportant as other causes of death. In fact, obesity far outstrips starvation as cause for mortality. So if evolution had had the time to adjust, we'd all wallow in ambiguities.

As a rule of thumb: attributing human behaviour that is more complex than basic emotions (fear, hunger, arousal,...) to evolution is almost always wrong. Overcoming evolutionary instincts is, after all, one of humanity's proudest achievements.

It's also not entirely settled if thinking hard actually increases the brain's energy usage. It appears that the brain has a relatively high caseload, with minimal variability.
It's usually just not a priority. Making it your top or one of your top priorities is rare.
I agree it was a very poor decision that lost them a lot of ground to Alexa – but that was HomeKit 1.0. Apple dropped that requirement last year at WWDC.

That's a pretty serious amount of effort to go through, and I don't think is actually a meaningful problem.

Most hosts do not have an alternate presence and it should be pretty easy to contractually forbid this behaviour on the part of hosts, at which point it's a detection problem, rather than a fundamental problem.
I don't follow. I use Spotify's native app on CarPlay.
Why the whataboutism here? No, I would not like to address these accounts and the questionable methodology that was used to get that "328 million" number, because it's irrelevant to the question.

As to the question, the answer unfortunately requires some familiarity with Reddit and having been a regular user there for a while. /r/politics is the big one since it was a "default" community up until that concept was eliminated a while ago (basically it was automatically on the front page if you browsed the site while logged out, and if you made an account, you were automatically subscribed to it).

I bring them up, because they're the largest political community on the site, and had a level of privilege that comes with that.

CTR is used as shorthand for the pro-Hillary tonal shift in /r/politics that happened fairly rapidly[1], combined with fairly obvious botting[2]. While there's no proof that any particular organization was responsible for those posts, or that Reddit's owners tacitly permitted their behavior, CTR is to my knowledge the only organization who had social network promotion (beyond the usual writing their own obvious posts or buying ads) of Hillary Clinton as its goal, going to the point of addressing actual individuals. AFAIK, this is new.

It was pretty amazing and I was so such awe combined with fear of saying something stupid that I don't remember everything. He mostly talked about non-Physics subjects. He did talk about Fermi and working for Oppenheimer. I asked about Teller...do not now remember what he said to that. I had attempted to understand something about Yang-Mills Gauge Theory in preparation for dinner, but completely failed, so instead I figured as a Scot and card-carrying EE I'd ask him what he thought about the apparent quantum jump in progress made by Maxwell -- how was Maxwell able to come up with such modern looking physics in the age of steam, for example. At the time I did not know that the history of Maxwell was one of his subjects of interest. He talked about some of the themes that you can see in the article above (which was written 10 years later). He also mentioned, in a joking way, his prediction years earlier that "In the next ten years, the most important discovery in high-energy physics is that `the party's over'.".
The final burn was about 6hrs in, so plenty of time then to do any terminal maneuvers (simulating thousands of years shouldn’t take more than an hour)
