This makes perfect sense to me. It's about organizational culture and differing fundamental approaches. People may agree on long term goals but have fundamentally different approaches.

Seeing eye to eye requires concessions on both sides, but one should carefully consider whether the "other" philosophies are philosophies that one wishes to ultimately adopt. If no, then move on.

Don't try to stop the disc unilaterally though, regardless of how good intentions may be. The inertia is strong, you're not accustomed to the spinning and you'll probably just end up throwing up.
"The Box" is a great book. If anyone is into podcasts I can recommend this Omega Tau episode http://omegataupodcast.net/146-container-shipping/ Full disclosure: I am one of the persons being interviewed.
it’s partly that people didn’t even think about it rather than didn’t expect it i guess? “what did people expect” implies that they had enough of an understanding of where their data is stored, and put enough thought into it in order to form an expectation of any kind

and that’s before you get to the unintentional tracking in things like like buttons, friends’ data that you have no control over, etc
You can't just expect to search for review of a product and get an unbiased review. Companies caught up on that ages ago and pay bloggers money for good reviews. This is how bloggers make money so they can live on their blog after all.
1.) I assumed that they would be launching more than 1 eventually.

2.) Even that one satellite would likely be used to serve up things like "free basics", which would assist Facebook in further convincing the people being served by it that Facebook is "the internet".

3.) Satellites in geostationary orbits are still "constantly orbiting overhead", in case what you were doing was just trying to be pedantic or imply that I was trying to say this one satellite was going to be circling the globe.

So my point stands.
Just be aware that the public server in the app has no access control. Your location will be published.

You probably really want to set up a private server to use this in practice or even try it out.

I have been a kismet user since they launched recently. I can say that a large number of my "matches" either don't fill out what they "need help with" or "can offer help with" and even more than that don't reply at all after I make initial contact.

I was talking with another kismet user and they too said out of their matches I was the only one that ever reached out to say hi.

I hope it gains popularity because I think the idea is great. I wouldn't count on it though to find a job.

Civilization was created as a fun computer mediated version of tabletop strategy games where commerce and technological innovation was so hard to simulate it was even more superficial. Decrying them for not being didactic about unsustainable development, poisoning the environment, or techno-dystopia seems rather petty.

That said, it would be pretty neat if it were possible to make a fun game that did all that. The hazard is that didactic games often aren't fun. Don't make games that aren't fun.

Sure, but neither of those have anything to do with what this thread is talking about. Data ownership and privacy are important, but this thread is about GP's claim that (paraphrased) the fundamental problem is that advertising is the ability to buy influence at scale, and that "bad actors" aren't prevented from doing so.

What is your objection[1]? If companies in that industry are contributing directly to funding development or hiring developers it's positive for the engine and for the rest of the community who get it on the same license terms.

It's good that your parents are informed, and care about privacy. Many are uninformed, so have no idea.

Then, like you said, there are those who don't care about privacy, even if informed.
Gotta say, tried running for a while and I hated it. Tried lifting and I hated it.

Then some friends showed me how to actually lift with a real routine, gained a ton of muscle and kept the belly in check, plus it was fun. Might be a similar thing with running (still hate it) but... if you're having a hard time with weight, it can help to find a buddy who knows how to lift and does so daily or get a trainer.

Doesn't help the 2-5 age group though.

I don't get what the difference between Facebook and Twitter even is supposed to be. One for people you know and one for people you don't? You can solve that in something like Mastodon by just having two independent content feeds (and you can already set that up).

It probably used to be character limit, but again Twitter has already doubled theirs and Mastodon's is already 500 characters.

That and the main developer of Mastodon is working on media features to make it work better as an Instagram replacement as well.

The real secret sauce is that the Fediverse and AcitivtyPub means if you want a Facebook like experience you can use Diaspora and still friend / share / communicate with people on a Mastodon instance. Different programs can emerge as fews into this data graph but its still the same fundamental primitives (soon to be a web standard) data types.

Speaking of Riot, I'm hopeful the developers will look into integrating it better into said fediverse. It should probably at least support some means for Mastodon hosts to easily spin up a Matrix server at their Mastodon domain with no friction and the same account database. It will probably take Matrix protocol revisions to make that work, though.

Probably one of the important killer but missing features of Matrix will be the ability to integrate into websites the way Facebook messenger does, so you can have the social media site with the popup chat frames.

The only missing feature in my mind after all that is something akin to Facebook / reddit comment threads / disquis / discourse. So that non-social media sites can integrate social media comment sections into their media that either autogenerate threads, repost to a Mastodon instance / on Diaspora and let Fediverse commentors just comment right there on the page.

Memory management

If a class inherits from Reference, then instances will be freed when no longer in use. No garbage collector exists, just simple reference counting. By default, all classes that don’t define inheritance extend Reference. If this is not desired, then a class must inherit Object manually and must call instance.free(). To avoid reference cycles that can’t be freed, a weakref function is provided for creating weak references.

>It's about using tricks, potentially with very harmful side effects, to manipulate people into buying your stuff.

There is a lot of this, but that is not the whole of advertising. Ads can be informational and useful.

Take the previews at a theater before the feature. Those are ads, they are paid for, and a lot of people like them. If you like movies you'd probably like to know what movies are coming, it's useful for you and useful for the studios. It's a positive sum game.

>Sometimes I imagine how a world without any type of commercial advertising would be...

There would be more of a concentration on other ways to get messaging out. If companies couldn't buy search engine advertisements they would concentrate more on SEO. It's not "advertising" but it has the same effects. There are plenty of side ways into achieving the same propaganda goals.
I run a 2010 MacBook pro which I have upgraded the RAM and swapped out the disk for an SSD (luckily 2010 was pre motherboard soldering nonsense). It still runs like a champ 8 years later.
Yeah we just need to regulate who can tell people about their products, services, issues, etc. Then the world will be perfect just like it is in China where nobody says anything without th governments approval. What could go wrong?

The SpeechRecognition module is pretty popular but it has some important API design flows. The thing is that speech is always continuous stream of data and you need a streaming-like API for proper user experience - you need to respond on events as soon as they appear. You need to filter silence and wait for actual words. You need to delay input reaction until the user clearly expressed the goal. Such streaming API is provided by major engines like Google and CMUSphinx and enables natural and responsive experience. Unfortunately SpeechRecognition module does not support streaming so developers often restrict themselves. A proper guide should better cover Google's streaming API.

I can't speak for the IDE-oriented folks, but as a veteran vim user, never really satisfied with the typographical and UI limitations of the terminal, Oni is the first graphical frontend for vim that satisfies me.

Being able to finally have good looking autocompletions, tabs, file explorer and widgets for all related vim features (autocomplete, quickinfo, statusbar, etc) and also having first-class LSP compatibility made using Oni for ~ 6 months a joy.

I don't really enjoy the commitment to appease IDE oriented users but it's pretty easy to have a bare configuration (https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/How-To:-Make-Oni-closer-t...) and if it makes it easier and viable for more people to enjoy vim, more power to it!

Also, @bryphe is a very considerate project leader, making hard work to understand different use cases and open to new ideas, which makes collaboration very straightforward with the growing number of contributors. I am very excited for Oni's future and am sure that it'll only improve forward.
Such a small article about such a big topic. Yes, real learning takes a lot of time and energy. You might think that solving problem X, really solving it, might be done after a few hours. And in the end, after you really done it, you realize you spend two years.

However, that doesn't mean it's worthless, or that you should apply it to stuff that doesn't matter (like the math of t-shirt turning). If you do that it's really a waste of time.

But there are endeavours that are totally worth it. For instance really spending the time to learn the movements of quick folding t-shirts might bring more order to your life, increase your dressing and save quite some time over the years. And there are other endeavours that are really, really profitable. For instance learning another language well enough to read good books in it. It will not add +X value to your life, it will add another dimension. Think about turning a 2D person from plane world into a 3D person. How much more vast would his understanding of the world be? While the price of learning that much of another language might be incredibly high, the value is even higher.

So, how do you discover these profitable learning experiences? By looking at all the Cool New Stuff that all the kids are learning, figuring out what is the "magic ingredient" that enables everybody to just get the job done without learning this one skill that is a lot of work, seemingly has not many benefits, that everybody in the industry should know but for some reason most people don't know. And then, instead of using the Cool New Stuff you go and learn that basic skill. You will be surprised that in the end, when you really mastered that one skill, you are not just able to handle all the Cool New Stuff of the next 10-500 years, you won't even need it to solve your problems.

In writing that might be learning all the different words and applications, grammar and punctuation. In software development that usually means studying ascepts of unix (parallel processing, package management, data storage, text processing, binary processing). In business that means learning balancing the books and taxes. In soccer that means shooting straight curves, basic stamina, dribbling.

You will be surprised how many partners and competitors you will beat just with mastering these boring basic skills.

> Recently, I noticed that although the eGPUs allowed for my MacBook Pro to have access to a full fledged GPU, the performance was nowhere near that of a GPU that is housed on a regular PCIe slot.

Doubtful. Benchmarks show the difference to desktop even when using only 16Gbps Thunderbolt (TB3 using PCIe 3.0 x2 or TB2 using PCIe 2.0 x4) to drive an external display is below 20%. https://www.notebookcheck.net/eGPU-Two-PCI-e-lanes-no-proble... https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/pcie-slot-dgpu-vs-thunderbo...

And, while in the Mac world there might be little choice, in the PC world I would not recommend anything older than Sandy Bridge. Sandy Bridge, on the other hand, both in laptops like the ThinkPad T420 and X220 (which still have the best keyboard on any laptop) and off lease HP/Dell workstations sporting high frequency Xeons are an astonishing price/value bargain (the cheapest E3 1270 workstations with motherboard, CPU, cooler, chassis and PSU are about the same cost as the roughly equivalent i5 7400 CPU alone). Yes, the wattage has dropped significantly but the IPC only grew by 20% from Sandy Bridge to Kaby Lake https://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/01/13/kaby_lake_7700k_v...
“If we can’t, we don’t deserve it.”

Ha even if you can, you don’t deserve it. Facebook’s insatiable desire for user data is so ingrained in their approach that they can’t distangle it even from their apologies.

It’d be like an alcoholic saying hey if I can’t hold my liquor I don’t deserve to drink.
Unfortunately intellectual property (IP) contracts make the lifestyle described in the article difficult for engineers and programmers. Work on something in your spare time that is plausibly related to work your company does? Too bad, your company owns it, usually. (I plan to negotiate on this point when getting a job offer in the future.)

I wouldn't be surprised if such policies were shown to be negatively correlated with innovation (however defined), because they remove much incentive to generate good ideas.
The problem with Facebook is it allows people to gather data about a user and their friends. Literally every single other platform (including google) can gather data about you but not your friends.

That is the current problem that needs to be immediately solved IMO. After the obvious, easy win then we should move on to more difficult regulation like others have suggested.

Well, the way I remember it, there were a lot of people telling you to skip KDE 4.0 and wait for 4.1 at the time of the 4.0 release and I was pretty sure that there was some warning in the release notes. So I took a look at them again:

https://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/

But I can't find there any warning what so ever. So even if the people who were actively engaged with the development knew that this software wasn't ready for prime time, they didn't mention it and therefore I have to agree with you that this move must have been done on purpose. :-/
Is there a facility that Publii supports, to easily sync locally, before an edit/push (eg if you are using different client systems a lot), either with Google Drive or Git (preferably) ?

I never saw this feature listed when looking at Publii, which kept me from trying it.

Note, please don't say just sync down from the server before doing anything locally; I don't want that to be the point of record. I'd rather that be Git.
I do think I might prefer the approach of the asymptotic of development approaching vscode features with a base in pure Vim rather than the asymptotic approaching full Vim compatibility within vscode, and so I really want to like Oni.

What immediately struck me as "this project is not ready to use to actually code in" was trying to scroll with my Macbook's touchpad and it working pretty awfully. It seems like an obvious enough issue that it _has_ to be being worked in, but maybe not and I should report it.
Which is a bit misleading as far as Spring is concerned.

Spring has never been abandonware to the Java community. It is probably the most used framework for enterprise - I've seen maybe 10 jobs looking for Spring experience vs the JEE crap that it has mostly replaced.

I know it gets a bad view on HN - a lot of FactoryBuilderFactoryBeans and a rather large kitchen sink of APIs.

But the framework itself is well written, great docs, lots of resources.

I've been involved in a dozen different projects where the architects hated Spring and instead went to some newer hipper lang like Flask, Django, Rails, Finatra / Finagle. Spring has a learning curve, but once you get it, it is far more powerful and stable than any of these alternatives.
