This is a false dichotomy. Vanilla Emacs needs 38Mb on my machine, and it has all the tools you'd ever need to develop plugins for it. Visual debugger, byte-compiler, object inspector, jump to definition (including straight to C implementation when needed), visual font pickers, color palette, documentation browser & docstring viewer for symbol at point, you name it - it's all there.

Browser engines are not optimized for handling text editing. They are optimized for basically everything else but text editing. You can make them into kind-of OK text editors, but you have to put a lot of effort just to get to where text-editing frameworks are already[1]. And 200Mb of unnecessary code doesn't make getting there any easier.

To my mind, developing a text editor with a web browser is a bad technical decision. It may pay off in the number of devs available and eager to help - it may be worth it, I don't know, it's for the projects' leads to decide. Technically, though, these projects would be much better off with a text-editing framework.

[1] LightTable is a good example here. Well-funded, motivated team worked on it for a couple of years - and still failed to provide anything more than Emacs with plugins. Well, it looked a bit better.
Have you compared the brightness against a new LED of the same model? My experience with many higher-power (60-100w equiv.) bulbs is that they are quite a lot dimmer after a year or two of heavy use.
Society isn't one thing, so perhaps a better definition would be "Biology is the study of a complex thing?" Regardless, pedantry.
Not off the top of my head, I'm just thinking of some of the crazy fan bases I see where they freak out when a character is killed off, I can't imagine if an actor / actress is replaced. Maybe indirectly Doctor Who is a sort of example? Some people don't like some Doctors while they like other Doctors, or they only liked x Doctor.
I really suggest that you dig into original references.

1. Read translations of original Buddhist/Jain literature and the Puranas to get an idea of the founding of the Nandas, Pataliputra, Chanakya, Chandragupta Maurya, and Ashoka.

2. Read translations of Megasthenes, Hiuen Tsang, and Fa-hein.

3. Read translations of Harshacharita by Banabhatta to get a feel of Harshavardhana's empire. Read how Banabhatta tears into the practice of Sati - in 600AD. No modern history book will tell you about this.

4. Read "History of India by it's Own Historians" - Elliot to get an idea of the Muslim invasions and the Mughals. These are translations of biographies and works of Muslim historians spanning Ghazni to the Mughals.
Not sure if you are justifying the present government's stance or finding faults with a government that is no longer in power.

I am not sure if "X-1 used to do this too" is a valid argument to "X is using it's power to rewrite history to suit their beliefs".
Calvinbhai , in the meantime it is the task of informed people like yourself to call out these things in the nick of time to take it to a more meaningful debate instead of the routine:

' India is a street shitting, rapist, poor , illiterate and nothing better can be expected'.

I think it is impossible for any westerner to understand the history of India looking at it from their distance lens and trying to classify politics as left v right or rich v poor.

It is very interesting to note that with this kind of assertion the impact of the previous Govt's ecosystem can be seen. You are on the back foot defending your stance all the time instead of calling out problems right away.

Monax | Systems Reliability Engineer | ONSITE | Edinburgh or London | £60k - £80k + equity (ESOP)

Monax were pioneers of permissioned ledgers and smart contracts responsible for the Hyperledger Burrow project. We are using the technology we have developed to build a legal agreements network to allow new and more efficient forms of legal transacting, exploiting the benefits of various decentralised, distributed, and masterless technologies. (Our website reflects a previous iteration of the company)

You would work on the deployment of sets of blockchain validators to the cloud along with supporting services using Kubernetes. The role will be implementing and honing testing and continuous deployment of our blockchain node (Burrow), encryption services, and smart contract middleware. We need to blend existing distributed technologies with newer decentralised ones in a principled way and have the ability to recover gracefully from failures. Considering the ambient security environment and what falls through the cracks between systems will be essential.

You would work with our technical CEO who has developed much of our existing deployment and our CTO as part of the platform team. Most of our code is written in Go, Solidity, and JavaScript. We will deploy GCE, AWS, OpenShift, bare metal data centres, and personal servers. Our technical work interacts with economics and law in a way we think is very interesting. Join us.

We have workspace in Edinburgh and East London. We like to mix flexible remote work with quality weekly face-to-face time, but will consider personal preferences and circumstances. Commuting distance strongly preferred but not absolute requirement.

Then...there will be fewer and cheaper movies made, unless and until consumer demand makes it profitable to produce more again.

I'm not sure being so reductive helps.

Even in other applications, you wouldn't just come up with an acceptable false-positive rate. You'd consider that as part of a larger process.

How often do you test? What other tests are available? What's the cost/benefit tradeoffs?

So for example in some medical tests they tell people of certain ages to just come in for tests. They review and change that age based on evidence. Some tests may give borderline results so people get asked to come back sooner than average if they only just pass. Better techniques for confirming or denying the conclusion may be developed for use before doing anything drastic and irreversible.

False-positive rates (of the multiple different tests available) are only one factor.

I would guess almost all of these things are already done in the current case under discussion, e.g. as mentioned before one case involved accusations from a husband. Now maybe that's just two false signals that happen to agree, but already you're talking about two false-positive rates you need to consider. Judges and social workers are probably making snap decisions based on gut instinct and rules of thumb as well that factor in. Presumably a case needs to be pretty serious before removal is even considered.

From just reading a libertarian blog that focusses on goverment intrusion into child-rearing though, you may think people are having their hair snipped randomly in the street and finding their children gone when they get home. A false-positive for that hypothetical case would obviously need to be much, much lower to be acceptable than in tests used as part of a bigger process.

Thanks. I was was actually about to post this. Fábio Rehm gives a really good overview of the project in that podcast. This is how I actually discovered that project.
I have coded one significantly large system using Akka. I think conceptually, actors are quite simple and powerful. But in practice with Akka, I hated the fact that I couldn't just set a breakpoint and just follow a message all the way through the system via multiple F7's. Every time I got to a "send" call, I would need to find out which of the other 200 actors in the code actually dealt with that message, set another breakpoint, and keep going. Because all you have at runtime is an ActorRef which could really be anything, and all the sends are asynchronous. This was perhaps in large part due to the fact that there was a lot of Akka 101 learning going on during early development so people went a bit crazy with actorifying everything. If in doubt, create a new actor. Because erlang, resilience, Telcos use it, supervisor hierarchies, self healing, and a blog I read last week. Questioning it was a case of the emperor's new clothes. Interestingly none of the big ticket things that Akka was sold to the dev team on ever eventuated.

A while into the project, my team and I were responsible for delivering a subcomponent within the system. We did so with extreme prejudice to only using actors at the very edges and entry points where a bit of asynchronicity was required. But everything within the service boundary was just plain old Java. This was the easiest to understand and maintain part of the system, as attested by another team who we handed over the entire codebase to. Guess which part had the least bugs? Most extensible?

I don't know if akka has improved since then, but the debug workflow was such a departure from the normal way of doing things on the JVM it was enough to put me off and then steer clear of it in general. There are definitely other patterns and libraries I would reach for first.
I assume it's also "love song" (well, "love serenade", to be a bit more accurate) :)
You can get expensive repairable appliances while last; Miele washing machines, for instance. You'll just pay for them. Most people don't want to pay over a thousand euro for a washing machine, so don't.
Those numbers feel really off.
13k/year rent means ~1100 € monthly rent. That's the average rent for a nice apartment in a nice area. If you're making 36k € yearly salary then it might make more sense to live in a shared room for 400/month or get a better (normal) paid job.

It’s likely developer dependent. You could reach out to one of the consultancies, or post an email to one of the mailing lists, though I’m not sure which one. Starting with -general would be s safe bet, and including a request for recommendation for a better list would likely get you sorted.

Interesting. Is a power supply required for cable based internet? If not, then they certainly would need to do that in order to maintain a level of feature parity.

It would be pretty annoying to have a generator running at home, but no internet (although it certainly still happens with downed wires). Or worse, you have power, but the fiber box doesn't.
Not really, it works, but there's tons of reports that it's slow, containers run in a VM (obviously) and you need workarounds such as docker-sync.

It makes sense, since Docker relies on the Linux kernel and its VFS interface, which have to be emulated on other OSes.
If you read the story you would see that the database host is a shared host (as in hundreds of other clients of the Webhost have accounts on it) and that the error is likely the result of a persistent hack. As in there is a vulnerability where someone can get access to the server and create a passwordless root account, so that they can siphon the data out.

Once that account is deleted, a new passwordless root account is created by the attacker in order to continue access.

The article didn't even touch the phenomenon of robots.

Take Trump's Twitter account for example. A second after he tweets, there are other of retweets. How come? it's robot that do it automatically.

Now, if I (for some obscure reason) follow that robot, I'd see all of Trump's tweets. But hang on, if that's what I want to do, I'd just follow @realDonaldTrump, right? why should I get all his tweets from a robot?

Another option is that the goal of these robots is to create artificial virality to Trump's tweets: "Oh, there are 5,023,482 retweets - this tweet (or this person) must be clever!" - which is the premise of this article. Retweets are trash.

Having worked in an innovation lab [1] that exists inside the brazilian house of representatives, I may be able to try to answer your question:

It's not an easy answer, things are not black and white. I think a great deal of the politicians don't give a shit about such initiatives, don't even understand them and their implications. But there's a great deal of people working close to theses politicians who keep pushing for a better future. I don't know them all because I have been mostly focused on the tech aspect of it, but you could reach out for some of them and they would guide you through their network.

For instance, Cristiano Ferri [2] has been doing a great work in this area. He was the head of the Laboratorio Hacker while I was there, and is very connected both to the politicans and the community.

If people wanted very durable goods and were willing to pay the necessary cost, they'd be readily available. Most consumers prefer the cheap, semi-disposable option.

A good Makita, Hitachi or DeWalt hammer drill costs anywhere from £500 to £800. It'll provide utterly reliable service over years of daily use and is fully repairable. A store-brand hammer drill costs less than £50, but you'll be lucky if it lasts for more than 10 hours of light use. Most DIYers buy the £50 store-brand drill, because they'll likely only use it a handful of times.

Rapid technological progress makes the semi-disposable option even more attractive. We have the technology to build a laptop that will survive 20 years of heavy use, but who wants to use a 20 year old laptop? Most people get a "free" cellphone upgrade every two years, so what do they care if the non-replaceable battery dies after three years?

(Brazilian here with bad english) There isn't much interest yet. But that is expected.

Information flows somewhat like this here: First they ignore it hard, then media comes and make a fuss and that makes the gov. officials respond with disdain or support (depends on the strategy they adopt). But if it gets hotter something bigger magically happens to distract public opinion.

At least it is already on dados.gov.br, which is the brazilian portal for open data, meaning at least received some support from groups inside the government. But almost no interest from conventional media.

Examples of corporations expressing religious beliefs: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/03/24/he...

Per above: "Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties' argument for not providing emergency contraception and IUD coverage to their employees can be boiled down to this: Because of the religious nature of our companies, we are entitled to religious freedom exemption from the Affordable Care Act's mandate because of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act — the same exemption that has been afforded to nonprofits with a religious nature."

Granted, it's the people who run (and presumably own) these corporations that truly have religious beliefs. Even so, from a legal standpoint, it's the corporations that bring suit.
We really need to fund USPTO better so some of these never get passed in the first place. I also think limiting the lifetime of "tech" patents removes most of this.

I love the idea, but a quick review of tweets shows a bunch of seemingly inconsequential reports for meal refunds where the issue is that the meal price is an outlier, but prices listed are 39 to 75 BRL (12-25 USD).

That doesn't strike me as a funny meal price. Assuming it's not an error, it would be nice to have some additional context on what the observed distribution of meal prices is, because at a cursory glance this looks like noise.
