Major Version Increments

* Chromium version updates

* Node.js major version updates

* Electron breaking API changes
Tensorflow + XLA seems pretty usable. Also, it's generally good practice to note that you're a cofounder of Vertex.AI in discussions like this.
I don't understand the part about " an antagonist and a suppressant".

Do you mean agonist-antagonist mechanism of action of some drugs that treat the same condition?

As far as I know different drugs can work on serotonin/dopamine/norepinephrine but in different parts of the brain and produce different results.
I really don't mind the HTML / CSS part with new developments such as CSS grid. If you're running it in a controlled environment (embedded browser), you could cut out a bunch of legacy crap, leaving a much leaner engine. Similar cleanup could be done on the DOM API, I guess.
I wonder if it would be possible to change the electron build process so it builds 2 outputs: 1 "big" package with full Chrome inside and 1 "light" package that just contains the application code.

The light package could then be offered as an alternative download on the website to run on a specific "electron-runner" that can run multiple electron apps side by side.

I know that I just described a regular browser with tabs or windows but hey, Electron is what we have right now and it is not going away soon. This might be a solution for people running multiple Electron apps side by side.
Yes. I'd like to see a stripped down embeddable browser engine - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9914925

I wasn't hostile to the possibility, but I have tried several such products and haven't been impressed either.

But FWIW here's an NPR article that says it doesn't work:

This little subthread is a great example of a kind of fallacy that seems endemic amongst blockchain believers. "A blockchain solution X can solve problem P, therefore blockchain is useful". Without asking if there is a non-blockchain solution Y that can also solve P, and if so, what the relative merits of X and Y are.

Given that a blockchain is just a distributed database with a distributed certification mechanism, you can generally immediately construct a couple of non-blockchain solutions by first removing distributed certification, then distribution of the database itself. You can then quickly see the eigenmerits of those kinds of distribution for the problem at hand. I have yet to see an example where they are positive.
People not satisfied with Electron's performance might be interested in fbs [1]. It makes it very easy to create desktop apps with Python and Qt. It was in the #1 spot here two weeks ago [2]. (I'm the author.)

I think that’s a lost cause, sadly.

The manufacturer can and will make the device more and more difficult to tear apart, and less modular.

This can partly be a design choice, but also affects the possibility of repairing...

Still, I am not a lawyer but I don’t see how a judge could enforce internal design choices...

Usually these companies supported macOS and Windows. I am sure they would have also supported Linux if it had a desktop penetration of more than 1% and if the Linux community was less hostile to closed-source applications.

Don’t take this the wrong way (I was a full time Linux/BSD desktop user from 1994 to 2007 and still have one Linux desktop machine at home), but do we really want to significantly degrade the experience of 99% of the users for 1% of the market?
i can't imagine being happy w/ 1999-era indent autoformatting my code...

> in the US paying with card is crazy "slow," especially with the new chip.

Does anyone know why this is?

Chip cards have been widespread in Europe for over a decade (in some places they've been around over 20 years). As pleasantly convenient as the new tap cards are, I've never found chip to be slow as long as I can remember. Sometimes a wireless terminal will have momentary connection problems but this is rare enough to be acknowledged by the shop as a clear technical fault and apologies given for the delay.

I’ve done a few degree-level teaching courses, and what I gathered from them is that the notion of individual learning styles is a bit of a myth.

Most people learn best from examples, which makes intuitive sense. Purely theoretical learning does not come easy to most people - that’s why maths is so scary to so many.

Given that the learning style myth has been mostly discredited, I also wonder about preferences such as night owl vs morning bird - it seems to me that people learn best in the morning, _unless_ they have poor sleep hygiene. Which would again make totally intuitive sense.
You are responding to comments in this thread by saying, "This is not how it works", but the comments you are responding to are making multiple points. You never clarify what the "This" you are referring to is. I am having a hard time understanding what you are talking about.
Each runtime can be a different electron version and have different combination of npm packages.

I think it'll only be ported to desktop once Fuchsia comes closer to release (which could be several years). They really seem focused on mobile only at the moment. Agree it could be a great solution.
Heh, it seems you feel that every man has to match your idea of a man. Sorry to disappoint, but there are more kinds of men, and it's not up to you to tell them what to be or how to live their lives. I think the OP's point is that everyone should have a healthy way to realize themselves, irrespective of whether they match our expectations or not.
It could also be a simple routing bug. You cannot know.

All security decisions boil down to your threat model, doesn't it? At some point there are decreasing marginal returns with increasing security.

I personally don't think so, but I'm interested in hearing about things I haven't come across yet.
If you don't need the APIs that interact with the local system, you can already build for Electron and for the browser easily. If you need those APIs, however, there's no other possibility because of the browser sandbox.
"Immutability": I don't think the mainstream financial system will mutate transactions once they've occurred. If there's a chargeback, it's implemented as a new transaction that reverses the first one. Chargebacks are possible because of the use of intermediaries, not because of mutable transactions.
Do you mean managers are not effective in a modern workplace, or do you mean managers are effective in a modern workplace?

What is the "This" you are referring to when you say "This is not how it works".

Also what kind of modern workplace are you talking about? I am working in a place that is developing software in the year 2018. I guess that is fairly modern. I see both effective and ineffective managers in this same workplace. What exactly is your point?

Austin, Denver and Detroit: Good Places for a Software Engineer Looking for a Job
I don't particularly care whether crypto succeeds or not but transfer fees and long confirmation times are pretty much relegated to bitcoin only and even then are much less now than they were in the end of 2017. ethereum is very cheap and fast to send, and there are many altcoins that offer free/extremely fast payments.
As another comment here points out. People don't really use credit cards here. Everyone has a debit card which supports contactless payments without a pin up to €20. Which is enough for most use cases.

Even better, in the country where I live, almost all debit cards have a number and a Cv2 code. So you can pay online at any place that accepts credit cards.

Transactions are free and instant. Within a second of paying I can see the transaction in the mobile app of my bank. Hell, it sends notifications for every transaction if you want.
> Sometimes I wonder perhaps there is some non-competing agreement between companies?

I doubt there are formal or explicit agreements, but informally or implicitly... Yes. One of my last employers bent himself backwards to avoid even contacting anyone who ever worked for certain competitors just to avoid the idea he was going after their staff.
But with deletionism an unknown (yet significant) number of pages are still crap. One of the sad aspects of wikipedia is that their idea of "maintenance" enshrines crap and their idea of "sources" makes it incredibly difficult for experts in a (sub)field to improve an deficient article. That's orthogonal to the number of pages, though.

Rule n1: don't roll your own security.
Rule n2: goto 1

You are overcomplicating your authentication system by oversimplifying security problems and the result is that you have solved nothing.

Security always seems very easy to solve and usually non-security engineers tends towards solutions like yours that doesn't provide extra security, they just add a few extra steps for a hacker to obtain you database and as a result you need to maintain extra databases, there are more error points... Do you remember that thing about "each extra system exponentiates complexity"?

Raising awareness about the importance of Afrika’s fossil heritage
Intelligence is the ability to solve problems. Why do you think general intelligence cannot exist without self-awareness or a drive to be free? If the only goal of some AGI system is to run errands, you cannot make it free in any sense which doesn't include unsubstantiated anthropomorphization.

"Do what you want, you are free." "Acknowledged, continuing running errands."
"Research" doesn't want anything, and if that guy wants that, he should make a good case for it. Personally, I find this has the priorities much more in line:

> Our time is distinguished by wonderful achievements in the fields of scientific understanding and the technical application of those insights. Who would not be cheered by this? But let us not forget that human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth. What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the enquiring and constructive mind. What these blessed men have given us we must guard and try to keep alive with all our strength if humanity is not to lose its dignity, the security of its existence, and its joy in living.

> My [indefensible] impression is that altruistic culture is a strong part of the reason why the quality of biomedical researchers is so poor, and cancer research funding is so often near-fraudulent.

Indefensible means you're not prepared to offer any elaboration at all? What's the line of reasoning here? Nevermind evidence, but you have to have more than just the claim.

And what is fraudulent funding? If all people involved were "too altruistic", would anyone ever make sloppy research to grab funding, around a subject involving so much suffering?
Few drugs solely act to agonize or antagonize a single type of receptor in a single part of the brain. Many of these compounds do a lot of different things, some big and some small. Anti-depressants have very complex mechanisms of action which we don't fully understand, and may not understand for a long time. They are a rough and imprecise solution to what for some is an otherwise intractable and potentially fatal problem.

Obviously therapy and other techniques should be attempted before drug prescription, but your friend is grossly oversimplifying how these drugs work and how psychiatrists portray how they work.

Not if the amounts are different.

Yes, and that is unfortunate. I don't have the numbers at hand, but at least in US, it's still on capability side, if I remember well. Not sure about Europe.

> On POW and the electricity argument, I think we waste electricity on lots of frivolous things. I'm willing to bet Christmas lights also consume more than the state of Delaware.

Delaware used 11.26 TWh of electricity in 2016 ("total retail sales", i'm ignoring the direct use bit, sue me):

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/delaware/

Bitcoin is using 50.88 TWh of electricity per year:

https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption

A light user of LED christmas lights ("1 to 3 wreaths, a garland, and a total of approximately 10 strings to wrap their outdoor trees"!) will use 96 watts while operating for 5 hours a day, 30 days a year, for 14.4 kWh in total:

Delaware uses as much power as ~782 million light users of LED christmas lights. Bitcoin uses as much as ~3533 million such users.

Deductive: A,B,C, ... strictly implies Q (for all subsets of premises A,B,C,...)

Inductive: A,B,C, ... may imply Q (a prior probability distribution)

Abductive: Best possible from Q1,Q2,... given a subset of A,B,C,...

For your question, I think those terms may not be so well-defined:
Deductive can be bottom up (if you'd like) if you call the premises the bottom. But Inductive can too (if you'd like) if you use A,B,C,... as your data points from which you're basing Q on.

You are retracing the arguments made by Rawls in Theory of Justice. The result he proposes is a maximin principle that gives (grossly simplified) based on the maximum of access to social goods that is compatible with similar access for everyone else (equality principle). Differences are to be favored if they advance the situation of the least well off and if they are based on contribution/merit (differences principle).

Most commonly, maximin is extended to leximin i. e. Looking at the next least welloff. There are traditions of critique both from communitarianism (Sandel et al.) and libertarianism (Nozick et al.), both worth looking into.

In regard to comment #13, I agree but companies are slowly starting to change. Just look at the rise of these coding "boot camps".
Yeah, figured. They seem very inconsistent in applying their trust. At times they'll do strange things like build app on Chrome Apps platform / mandatory phone ID and on other times they'll make user-hostile decisions like hijacking SMS messages and refusing to publish to F-Droid due to "security".

The end result is an app that keeps shooting itself in the foot and being beaten by Messenger and WhatsApp.

It's interesting that you mention that GTK is not native enough, but do not mention that for Electron. It looks like (and I feel this way) GTK hits the uncanny valley, whereas Electron is different enough (and applications written in it are used to spending effort on looks) to not run into that problem.

Naturally you'd prioritise things like all the exits from major metro stations in tier-1 cities. Further down the curve, if it's viable to maintain a map of every public vehicular road in the USA then it would surely be similarly viable to map all the major public streets and squares in the centres of the world's tier-1 cities; likewise the major public interior spaces in their public-transport buildings. So that's your MVP; then obviously you'd go as far further down the long tail as technology and business make viable (and regulation permits).

Basically it's just a combination of the SLAM tracking being successfully used already in VR and AR headsets like Windows "MR" and Oculus' Santa Cruz with the usual data-consolidating ways of Larry's Basilisk. I have a suspicion this may be the intended final purpose of all the nice Project Tango research.

Obviously you could also use the database for things like photo location-tagging. Similarly, smartphone car navigation apps would want to be able to be able to use the data being collected for self-driving cars, too. You could also imagine self-driving street-sweepers taking advantage of the pedestrian-area data (or indeed helping to harvest it).
edit: Never mind - I hadn't read far enough in. He means 'Eulerian graph', I think. As in a graph with an Eularian trail. You know it might be nice for people to get the terminology right if you are writing about this stuff...

What do you mean by 'Euler graphs'? As in, the problems described by him such as the bridge problem?

I would call anything with vertices and edges an 'Euler graph' as opposed to a 'Cartesian graph' (a chart).
