I agree. If you graph performance (or quality) and it's a horizontal line, you're doing it all wrong. It needs to go up and down but generally up. It means you're trying things in order to improve. Sometimes you get it wrong but that's ok, as long as you fix it and get the trend going back up again.

I never understand the bickering about just trying something. It makes no sense. Everyone agrees it's broke, so pick something to fix and do it and monitor the results.
There are HE top loaders which are basically front loaders tilted 90 degrees with an additional water pump to deal with the gravity problem.
Personally I like landing pages that are pretty. It makes me confident that some care went into the product too.
You can buy a day's meal at Walmart for $2.

There is a misguided individual here in the UK called Jamie Oliver who says things like that... It's true if you have the money upfront to buy in bulk. And somewhere to store it all, somewhere clean and dry, and a freezer. And a kitchen, and energy to boil water and run the oven. And know how to cook and have the time to do it (easy if you are "retired", not so much if you are working several minimum wage jobs). Etc, etc, etc.

I could spend very little on actual ingredients and have tasty, nutritious food every day, because everything else is taken care of. But I would never be so facile as to extrapolate that to someone without all the prerequisites that make it possible.
Sadly, that whole genus contains neurotoxins. I'm not sure the medical evidence is in on pawpaw's, but soursop is responsible for high rates of atypical Parkinson's in areas where it's a staple.

I've not tried Perl since, but when I did it was the only web framework I ever tried and it was pretty nice.
Regardless of that specific problem, it would be wise to build upon an existing protocol (e.g. IPFS), because it would help prevent future problems AND it would increase traction of federated content sharing. The more people use a single protocol, the more all applications benefit in latency, speed, availability; but also in future development.
I don’t have the device at hand but I’m pretty sure it’s a Validity Sensor 138a:0097. There’s an effort to reverse engineer the Windows drivers for this class of fingerprint sensors at https://github.com/nmikhailov/Validity90 but honestly I don’t care much about fingerprint readers on a laptop.
Does this support ads and if not, what's the value proposition for content creatos other than maybe less censorship?

I imagine the point is that you have achieved fuck you money and know that you don’t need to.
"Incidentally", I suspect your plan was discontinued right about the time the number of competitors in the UK mobile market dropped from four to three. When 3 bought O2. And right about the peak of the 4g rollout. The same happened to my £13 plan. I'm not sure which of the above was the larger factor, or whether it was because usage patterns (tethering, Netflix) did in fact make these plans unsustainable. Interestingly, 3 also had their "one" plan (IIRC) which specifically allowed tethering, with unlimited data, for ~£20/mo.

Also, for completeness, it's probably worth mentioning the conditions of your unlimited data roaming were bandwidth limits, and a maximum trip duration of thirty days. Though I know people who considerably exceeded that duration in Europe and weren't noticeably restricted or penalised. Of course it's moot now (yay!- I write this message from Madrid airport..).
This seems like an oxymoron

> Receiving permission to visit a country is a privilege, not a right.

It shouldn't be.

All border checks should be abolished. All passports should be abolished. Free people in the world should be able to travel between countries freely, and without having to justify themselves or ask permission, just as they can travel between cities within a country freely.
Stick it in an index fund and you'll probably get at least 4% per year on average. That's 200k.

Mojolicious is beyond fantastic! I have a hard time touching anything else, as every step of the way I think "damn this could have been so much easier with mojo..."
Exactly. The thing that I always remember is that identifiers encoded this way simply can't get out of sync from client to server. Commands, paths, enums, ... Where a form is posted, say, is an easy constant, that defines both the routing AND the string in the form. Where forms always have the fields defined in a structs, never more, or less.

And this can result in sites that are very fast to add things to, as opposed to have dozens and dozens of files everywhere.

But everyone wants "single page apps". Because

client -> server ---[html]--> client --> server --[javascript]--> client --> server --[4*ajax requests necessary to fill in the initial page]--> client --> server --[4*images necessary to fill in said javascript]--> client

Is so obviously "much faster" than:

client -> server --[html+embedded everything]--> client

Is this "compressed sensing"? Is "ghost images" an official name or it was made up just for this article?
There's something to be said for aesthetics when it comes to anything human. IPv6 appears far more complex than the traditional 4 octets and its an immediate turn-off especially to those (most) who don't know that octal and hexadecimal are just different ways of representing the same thing. If they simply would have extended IPv4 to 8 octets (64 bits) I think that would have been a better middle ground solution from an intuitive standpoint. 128bit addressing is overkill and I doubt we will still be using the Internet Protocol if 2^128 (3.4X10^38) devices are ever online.

Sorry. I posted yesterday just before bed. Here's the quote in full:

"Abstract. The myth persists that in 1492 the Americas were a sparsely populated wilderness, -a world of barely perceptible human disturbance.- There is substantial evidence, however, that the Native American landscape of the early sixteenth century was a humanized landscape almost everywhere. Populations were large. Forest composition had been modified, grasslands had been created, wildlife disrupted, and erosion was severe in places. Earthworks, roads, fields, and settlements were ubiquitous. With Indian depopulation in the wake of Old World disease, the environment recovered in many areas. A good argument can be made that the human presence was less visible in 1750 than it was in 1492."

From wikipedia:

Acrylamide was discovered in foods in April 2002 by Eritrean scientist Eden Tareke in Sweden when she found the chemical in starchy foods, such as potato chips (potato crisps), French fries (chips), and bread that had been heated higher than 120 °C (248 °F) (production of acrylamide in the heating process was shown to be temperature-dependent).[17] It was not found in food that had been boiled[17][18] or in foods that were not heated.[17]

A nice thing about Lisp is you can do whatever without much getting in your way -- though this is a pretty common way of doing HTML for get-it-out-the-door work. You can get a whole lot fancier (https://github.com/Day8/re-frame is an example from ClojureScript land). But the context of what you're making determines the important variations, and whether you ever let a designer (or a programmer) touch this example at this level of resolution or something approximately the same like a separated out HTML file (or whatever template system you like) that the Lisp function just wraps. Example details that could be important in general, not just for this specific code repo:

This thing has no concept of localization, is that a constraint? Accessibility? Are there dozens of other engineers working at this level of detail you need to worry about? Is this the output of a higher level tool used by either coders or designers? Is there a coherent component architecture behind this or is it just more of a utility function someone made? Do components need to be namespaced? Live in their own files/packages? Is the thing you're building a site with several unique pages or a SPA? Where are the JavaScript implementation points for things like the on-click's register() function? Or are you going to forbid JS in your markup (because it confuses designers, or because of CSP policy) and force programmers to bind things elsewhere? How does your routing system work, is it fine to hardcode those paths like that?
I get much higher battery life out of my X1 Carbon 2017 (with the 1080p screen) and its 57Wh battery, to the point where I configured it not to charge above 90% to improve battery longevity (tlp can set charging limits on Linux). But without knowing your workload that’s a meaningless comparison, of course.

Idle power consumption at medium brightness is around 3.5W for me (connected to WiFi with Chrome open but idle), maybe 5W when actively browsing. It’s amazing.
Look for long term stocks - ones with real value that also pay dividends. You can get dividends in the 3-5% range. You also hope that the stock price will at least keep up with inflation, but that is a separate issue to track.

Other options include buying a small business. Some don't require their owner to put in full time to make OK money.

but "making money in other ways" just sounds like having lots of odd jobs. That's my problem with Mr Moustache Man, he is supposedly retired, but by my count, between him and his wife, they have 5 jobs. Then why not just get one really good one. I mean, it's great if they love their 5 jobs, but that's just called working at a job you like, not being retired. My father in law is retired and he doesn't do any jobs for money - that's to me the definition of retirement, not having odd jobs here and there.
I am not even that frugal, I live reasonable, but I spend lot of money on sport equipment, obviously I am not driving a Maserati or live in a Villa with pool, but neither do I live like a monk or live in hostel dorms, my luxury is that a) I don't have to work b) if I work I do what I enjoy and as many hours as I wish (which is probably the best of it) c) I can go wherever I want whenever I want.

I'd say Flask will literally let you do that. Though CherryPy will as well if you really want to. I usually don't do CherryPy that way unless I'm building something small and contained enough. If you need templating I used Mako with CherryPy as well. Just look at the "Hello World" for CherryPy you only need that one file to run a web server, supports also running under WSGI and hosting other applications that need WSGI hosting.

Ohhh, like in restaurants, they mean. I was scared for a moment.
I think that both languages for the large and for the small have their own places. Something optimized for the large-scale doesn't automatically work well for the small.

For example, I always feel that Tcl is better than Python for GDB scripting. At least, I really don't like typing parentheses in an interactive console. Also, there is no 'real' (read: general purpose) programming language that is able to beat BASH in terms of ergonomics, even though we all know BASH sucks when the program is getting large.
Could a SpaceX constellation provide lower latency than undersea fiber? If the satellites can communicate to each other would the speed of signalling through a vacuum/air (~30% greater than fiber) outweigh any other steps?

If so, maybe SpaceX should get into HFT/arbitrage between global markets?

Personally I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "BlueHDI", I had to look it up, so clearly there's an element of subjectivity here. Similarly things like football team colours may also come into play, so perhaps there should be a choice.

That said, I have no idea whether (a) apparent social norms are actually the main problem to adoption or (b) whether the DVLA could be convinced to adopt new policies for rear-plate colours.

Cheap cars aren't gas guzzlers though. There are plenty of cheap cars with good fuel economy. The absolute cheapest new car you can buy in the US today (Nissan Versa) gets 31 city/39 highway. If you have $1000 you can buy a 20 year old Corolla, they get 31 city/38 highway. The main problem is not cheap cars being gas guzzlers, it's everyone insisting on buying far larger vehicles than they actually need.
FIRE literature typically uses a 4% withdrawal rate. In some calculators that's the same as the supposed return on investment, some allow you to specify your own return on investment. In US index funds 4% seems like a "safe" lower bound.
Generally speaking they don’t pay themselves off. I buy $1-$3k cars every ~4 years. No amount of gas savings would justify a $30k car. It’s simply opulence.
Yes - it would make a lot of sense. I have been planning to do it, however being Mercurial user complicates things a bit.

But they're not, of course. Sure, I don't want my internal thoughts floating around, but I'm not a) several thousand people, and b) the personification of those several thousand people attempting to work out the best way of extracting other people's sub-conscious & internal motivations and desires, and sell them to marketers ... so my perspective is skewed.

The rest of the excuses in TFA seem very 'some people say...' or 'it's been said that...' style posturing, which may be an interesting academic exercise, but as you say it feels a bit of a cop-out to use that as a post-rationalisation.
Every time I read about people with hyper-strict future modeling schemes like this, I think of Nassim Nicholas Talebs Black Swan theory.

These kids would be one accident, unexpected disease or economic crash away from being abruptly summoned out of their 'early' retirements. That or they would realise they want to have kids. Or they'll get tired of beans in their 40s.

But by then, they'd have years open on their resumes, or have lost touch with the skills needed to generate the income needed to pay for those unforeseen emergencies.

Or maybe I'm just cynical.
I'm typing this on an X1 Carbon and have to say that if I was going to love a computer, this would be the one. Battery life, ruggedness, weight ... it's all just perfect (and I'm a firm believer in the adage that 90% is generally good enough).

Can't see the NYT one (paywall).

That said, is the Washington Post a representation of the "real life"?

Have they regularly run such stories by embittered union leaders before, when the President was more to their liking?

Or is it just confirmation bias?

Especially with economic indicators going strong (so much for the "disaster" people like Krugman predicted "If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never" [1] on those same papers), and many companies, including Apple, announcing plans to bring jobs back to the US.

At worst, the WaPo link you've sent would be "business as usual", the untangling of US manufacturing jobs that has been happening since Reagan, if not earlier. Surely not some unique catastrophe imposed by The Donald.

You forgot the addendum:

No member of congress, the administration or closely related shall ever be punished for anything. For instance, for taking legal action to protect the very company this is about:

https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/24/congress-votes-to-disallow...

And I'm sure there were zero financial interests behind that decision.

You might say : this is not insider trading. I agree, this is much worse: this is taking legal action to protect their own financial interests after they were legitimately punished by the market. That's far, far worse and explicitly not what the legislative authority should be used for.
US Treasury bonds are currently yielding more than 2.5% and are generally considered pretty safe. And even though a bank account is a terrible place to stash so much money, I think you'd find a better than average interest rate if you did have $2 million to stick in the bank.
Have a look at the Notebookcheck reviews, they’re very thorough and test things like thermal throttling/efficacy of the cooling system which aren’t mentioned in most other reviews.

I was in the same position last year (T470, T470s, X1C5?), but ruled out the T470s rather quickly because its cooling system was barely better than the X1C5’s, nowhere near that of the T470. I have no idea if the T480s was improved in this regard so don’t apply last year’s reasoning to this year’s lineup :) I went for the X1C5 because of the much nicer screens vs the T470 and because it seemed more future proof (2x TB3/USB-C instead of 1x and more PCIe lanes to the Thunderbolt controller). Plus, a year later and I’m still fascinated how light it is. Overall I’m extremely happy with mine.

Once the constellation is built, you can do worldwide routing in orbit, which is actually more efficient latency-wise (at least for international hops) as you're not dealing with political and physical boundaries and light is passing through vacuum not fiber.
If it’s low cost to run a server (<$100/year) then just the censorship (or maybe just fuckaroundary and bother is a better term than censorship).

I got a simple Linux host on a cpanel admined shared server a long time ago for a random purpose. But it’s been very useful just to host stuff rather than bother with whatever free service exists.

It’s not strong enough to host this or mastodon or other peer networks, but I think it would be worthwhile for me to pay to have this flexibility.
I am old, this sounded like my kids, made me smile. Sure, it is silly. But was okay for me.
On paged systems fork() is usually reasonably fast, but for CGI you do fork()+exec() and while exec() is also reasonably fast, the stuff that the happens in child process between it's start and entry into main() (ie. dynamic linking, libc initialization) is somewhat on the slower side. (Not to mention interpreter startup for interpreted languages)

So does that mean they should remove all android devices that play Kodi? Oh, that hurts Google bottom line.. oh nevermind then.. let's just villanize Kodi developers.(Who have done a hell of a job I might add since the Xbox original with a modchip).

Android should be worried about why their sandbox security is so terrible it allowed Facebook to gather sexting archives rivaling only that of Snapchat.
