The tech sector in the west can breath a sigh of relief.

It's no surprise the power grabbing politicians would want to control the booming tech sector. But I naively thought that their affair with quasi-capitalism would run longer. We have been here before and know how nationalization affects innovation. Being a leader of a communist nation gives you perhaps more opportunity to run these kinds of massive experiments while thinking this time things will be different. Capitalistic (Darwinian) society wouldn't be as forgiving.

I use it at least daily to get updates on what's going on in my city, around the world and with my interests.
Progress doesn't come from endless bitching about existing tools either. Progress comes from writing better tools. Hence my point about how everyone loves to have an opinion about tools but the vast majority of those opinion pieces don't serve as much more than cannon fodder for language flamewars.

If you look at the people who have genuinely progressed technology, they spend more time inventing and writing code than soapboxing their opinions. They lead by example rather than simply talking about what they believe we should be doing. Those are far more valuable to the community than egotistical flame bait blog posts.
Yeah, I noticed that. Then she went on to talk about how she was asked to write about systems thinking even though she knows nothing about it, and wrote a preface based on a few minutes googling.

I admit I stopped reading at that point. Bog standard Marxist thought in academic circles? Starting an article supposed to be about systems thinking with a noisy announcement of tribal loyalty? Yawn.
Good IT? Wake up! Anyone who disagrees with the leaders gets a bullet in the back of the head. The people who marched in Tianamen Square got a mass grave for their troubles. And even if you're a party faithful, they will kill you if it fits with whatever is they want to accomplish. The Chinese people HAVE NO RIGHTS. So let's not pretend there's some kind of special technological communism that isn't like this.

ETA: The average Chinese family is DESPERATE to get out, get their wealth out, or otherwise escape the anthill any way they can.
The challenges of applying AlphaGo to board games with more complex rules
That's a bit of an oversimplification.

About llvm, there's a WIP prototype that doesn't quite work yet[0].

And about GCC, GccGo is behind in Go's version. GCC 7 only supports Go 1.8 (with caveats). Also, it had issues at some point[2] (but this is from 2014, it may have been fixed since then).

And, on a more pragmatic point of view, when talking about Go, the huge majority talks about Go compiled with the standard Go compiler. That's why you here a lot of positive feedback about compile-times for instance.

Easy: the party will command the food to grow, and if it doesn't grow, they will throw it in prison.
I could make a single car in my garage and be profitable. Delivering the 3's is the all and only right now. Everything else is a distraction.
They don't have to do the actual bg check though, just ask you do you have a criminal record. If you say no, then they do the check at the end and you do, you get passed over for lying, not for having a record.
This is how many low paying front line jobs have always hired.
iPhone first helped them get the mobile OS right. Because MicroSoft had a tablet for a decade and its OS was horrible- a cluttered version of shrunk windows. If Apple had shrunk MacOS as an interface, that would have been awful too.
The Soviet Union was badly afflicted by dutch disease and engaged in an eye wateringly expensive arms race. China isn't.

Though, because of their lack of mineral and agricultural wealth is that if they were subjected to a successful shipping blockade they would begin to starve relatively quickly.

This lack of fuel/food security is why they're so domineering in the South China sea, why they're spending ridiculous amounts on the new silk road, why they're so keen to get the US and the rest of the world hooked on Chinese exports and why they're leaders in green energy.
My advice at this point is to present it in a straight forward and technical way. Make the landing page answer the three important questions: What is it? How do I use it? Why should I care?

In this case the product is very technical -- I have to open and operate sophisticated MIDI software. Presenting it like a phone app is confusing. Even more so, it looks like an MP3 player because it just presents a few icons and these have nothing to do with how I would use it. The video tutorial is great, but video is linear. It needs some text support. Particularly because it starts up with nothing but a desktop. Consider adding a title so it is clear that it is a video not just a picture of a fish.

In sum, it's a technical product for technical users. The presentation can be dull because the presentation does not have to fit on a page in the iOS app store. At least not yet.
Assumptions about how children learn to read have been disproven by research
> "Some sell out completely to Typescript and the Microsoft way of doing things"

> "this trend is subjective dogma not objective value"

Ironically, the author own phrasing is not objective and somewhat hypocritical. S/He described the use of Typescript as "selling out and the Microsoft way of doing things". S/He's trying to leverage anti-Microsoft sentiment to boost her/his argument. Feels more like a smear campaign then an objective opinion.
Go ahead and not put that sign in there. See how long you last.

Also, it's possible that they believe it, say, "China needs this to be a strong country" even if some freedoms are sacrificed. A necessary evil for a while.

As for nationalizing: they are in a sense nationalized. You must x, y and z or you're done. The Party is judge, jury and the executioner.
This sounds more like jealously than anything else. Musk clearly is playing a very good game in the commercial world, all the while trying to push humanity into a better place. He has to hype for investors. Broadly admirable is a complete understatement when you only need to consider the feats of SpaceX.

What I see is a person who is working considerably hard. Hes an inspiring figure that will give rise to future generations. Like Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and countless more. You should think of him as a driver of energy and ideas.
Why? Suppose I don't know what R[x] or R(x) is. We certainly don't teach highschoolers what either of those are, and they seem to be able to do "algebra" just fine.

We don’t teach high schoolers what is really going on. We mask what is really going on because making it all precise is not effective or helpful at this stage of development. We teach rules to manipulate equations. We don’t use the language of algebraic geometry because that is too complicated. We don’t say to them the variety of the ideal generated by x+2 is the same as the ideal generated 4x+8 are the same so that x=-2 is equivalent to 3x+1=-x-7.

However, we are insisting that the LHS is a polynomial (again, in the formal sense). This means that there is no variable. The "x" in the LHS is literally a value. It makes no sense to ask what values of (0,1,0,0,...) make that equation true. The fact that we give (0,1,0,...) a standard name of x does not suddenly make the question sensical. Nor does the fact x is often used to represent variables.

You are clearly not an algebraist. The polynomial

(3, 1, 0, 0, 0, ....)

Induces a natural map from R to R that is generally called “evaluation”. It maps the number 5 to 8 for instance. We abuse notation and say to begininnng students, “replace x with 5”. We dumb things down. Instead of asking for the pre-image of 8 under this natural map we ask for what values of x do we get a value of 8. The shorthand way of writing this is to say solve the equation:

x+3=8

That you don’t know this is disconcerting since you’ve obscuoulsy had more than an elementary mathematical education. You are confusing the simplistic view of what is taught in basic courses with what is really going on.

Ask a million mathematicians, “is x^2+3x a polynomial” and without hesitation they’ll say yes. Because in standard uasage of that expression it is a polynomial. That’s the default interpretation.

Read the first chapter of any beginning algebraic geometry textbook. x^2+3x-1=0 is an algebraic variety. This is the standard interpretation of that equation.
For the few YouTube channels where I actually want to watch every single video uploaded by the creator, I do use this. For the rest, I have to hope that they create playlists for the subset of their videos that I am interested in. Many creators are actually quite diligent about organizing their uploads into playlists.
I'm not sure how you can believe that. Right now the biggest problem is total lack of availability of ARM servers. Perhaps Qualcomm's Amberwing is competitive but the only source of information about it is from Cloudflare in SIMD workloads. Infrastructure like networking is an obvious target for ARM servers because it can be accellerated via SIMD but is the performenace good enough for regular application development like webapps or databases? We don't know and they won't tell us. The only reason to believe or hope that they are superior is because you have a grudge against the established players.

How to Crack Ethereum Wallets
I had the impression it failed because the planning was bad.

So the logical consequence for me would be, if the plans were outdated, better IT would allow to change them faster.
This seems entirely reasonable to me.
The pointer can be dropped. The pointed object cannot. So the problem of rolling back the transaction changes ownership, now our button should do sensible things in setLabel, to rollback changes made before an exception.
This is the company that seems to be investing in just about everything now days. Scary!

Trump might be fighting for a good cause, but he is doing it in the most stupid way. The road to hell is paved ...

Case in point: the original TPP had plenty of protection for American IP. The orange demagogue ditched the treaty, all the other countries removed those protections and now he wants to come back. The pattern of stupidity is pretty obvious: the US needs international allies to prevail against China, but it won't get any ally with an "America first always" policy.
The importance is the cost.
they are lower priced on reused flights with a 10-20million discount.
Regular non reused flights they are about the same price as competitors (if you count 20millions less the same)

New design launching in three weeks would reduce cost even further price will go down maybe by 10 million but cost should go down by around 50 million
1) not everything has a webcam 2) most people I know cover them on laptos with ducktape anyway
> You don't need to scrap the page

They do if they are scraping playlists.

Youtube assumes that when creators make a playlist, they’ll add videos to the top. As such, the RSS for a playlist[1] always returns just the top 15 results. But a lot of creators — typically the ones that take greater care into organising their playlists, such as Crash Course[2] — add videos to the bottom of their playlists. Those RSS feeds will be stuck at the same 15 items forever, and your only option is to scrape the page.

At least with exceptions, “forgetting to handle the error” results in a predictable bubbling of the exception, as opposed to continuing with an unknown state.
Those flaws have in fact not been found in MD5.
Well, let's suppose the legislation is voted into law.

Every news outlet with a grain of reason offers every major search engine or news aggregator, or maybe a whole self-publishing platform like Twitter a blanket deal: €20 per month for unlimited use of blurbs and links, as long as blurbs are short and are actual quotations.

So, the market would have fended off the attack on the way it operates, and ready to continue as usual.

The losers would be the non-commercial sites. Wikipedia would have hard time showing you all these Creative Commons-licensed pictures. Free (as in beer) publications would see large drops in traffic, not being able to offer their content legally for free, or re-licence it (it's often quite involved).

What a useful law that might be. /s
I am using a tiling window manager and do not want to pop up dolphin, is there any way to upload a file without dragging?
The age old liberal hymn. I’m not going to say this is wrong, but it’s a very black and white stance in the matter. Plenty of succesful economies have been centrally planned and/or protectionist. Likewise speculative booms in unregulated markets have produced massive amounts of deadweight loss. Not to mention the administrative overheads of running large scale free(ish) markets we observe in all first world countries, it makes the USSR look lean and mean by comparison. This is not to excuse the flagrant absurdities seen in state-capitalist economies all troughout the 20th century. The best model of central planning appears to be government guided bank credit allocation as seen in postwar Japan and the Asian Tigers, this lets entrepreneurs handle the micromanaging aspects whilst the state can avoid boom-bust cycles typically associated with private finance.

> There is no standard for encryption or any other information security mechanism.

I agree that SSL in transit and GPG could stand to be improved, but they do exist.

> No server identity verification.

What do you want that SPF+DKIM doesn't cover?

> No delivery confirmation.

Good? That sounds like asking for abuse. And in any event, it's no different than inline remote images (which of course are blocked for the same reason that delivery confirmation is a bad idea). Unless you just mean being sure that the message got to the target server, in which case I agree that the best we can do is delivering it directly to the target MX and see that it confirmed that it received the message.

> No push standard.

Temporarily true, pending JMAP (which I suppose strengthens your point about needing innovation).

> No concept of groups or other ways to categories and manage access between users in a domain.

Not quite sure what this means. Do you want something like shared mailboxes and tags?

> Every provider has their own implementation of threaded conversations.

True, though in a message-centric format I'm not sure that it's a bug.

> No major provider supports non-ASCII addresses.

Not a bug in email, only arbitrary restrictions by certain providers. Also opens you up to unicode normalization attacks (phishing is easier if you can fake characters).

> Servers can't even agree on simple message formatting.

I'm not sure what formatting servers even care about (email is just some blobs of text strung together), but I can't really refute this without knowing what you refer to more specifically.

> Most things that make email actually useful are outside the spec and tacked on by each individual provider.

Email is useful because it lets us send arbitrary stuff (usually a text body and zero or more attachments) between federated providers. It's a simple-ish protocol that is stable and just works.

EDIT: In summary, I vastly prefer email as it is: A simple protocol that can include arbitrary information, which allows people to extend it however they want. Of course, this means that extensions are arbitrary and at best non-required, but that keeps it flexible and back-compatible.
> It's true that websites have a expiration date

I’m not so sure about that. Web standards have made it so that the browser you install today can still view the websites that were made when your favorite Super Nintendo game came out.

And you wouldn’t print just one copy of a paper ever, so a network of database servers getting destroyed is the equivalent of a bunch of physical libraries getting destroyed.

Flash may have gone away but Flash was not a core component of the web spec, like HTML. It was a third-party plug-in.

Amazon vs Alibaba - to simplify, this game will be won by the best supply chain, And sure Amazon leads by far. But what happens when the "one belt one road" railroad is finished ? Will Alibaba get a preferential treatment ? And if so, could Amazon handle that ?
Were they actually given that profit rate from the Pincoin team, or promised that the coin's value would increase?

This really seems like a mess of illegality either way haha.
I'm think the "doesn't suck" does not really sells this.

What, exactly are the benefits here over bootstrap or any of the 300 other frameworks with similar specs?

Looking at your examples I can't immediately see the difference to bootstrap other than (maybe) the smaller file size.
To get a better understanding of her use of the word "metaphor" I recommend the book Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff. It makes the argument that the language (specifically the concepts we build using the language) we use is metaphorical. It goes on to show how wholesome the bind between metaphors and concepts is.

From reading the book, if someone says that "In a complex world we perceive, think, understand and communicate metaphorically.", I get what they mean. It occurs to me that her use of the word "metaphor" follows from such a comprehension.
That's an excellent idea. You can work out a reasonable amount of time to allow YouTube to do the video processing, and then use youtube-dl's "--datebefore" option to only download videos that are at least that old. You'll have to manually compute the date and time for X hours in the past, I suppose.
I dunno, "newtypes" are a fairly popular patterns, and if they automatically converted between the base type and other newtypes of the base type, they'd not really be useful.
Exceptions are effectively INTERCAL's "COME FROM".

If(error detected) { COME FROM (Error location); Handle Error }

It trades ease of writing error handling code for ease of debugging.
> the original TPP had plenty of protection for IP. The orange demagogue ditched the treaty

You mean the same position taken by the other party's entire field in that election? (even if you suspect that Clinton's opposition was disingenuous, and forced by pressure from Sanders)
I think it's a false dichotomy if you're thinking of finding the root cause instead of speculative requests.

You can do none, one of them, or both. You may have team skills to tackle none, one, or both. You may or may not control / have access to one of the sides. You may have a timeline for solving this problem where you decide which task is faster to finish. Finally, you may have a recurring problem which makes you lose a specific amount of money every time and a speculative request stops that now, while putting people on a performance debugging mission may only potentially have a positive return in the future.

Sure, it's a technical debt. It's not illegal - you just need a really good reason to commit to it.
This is why some strains of socialism advocate a regulated market wherein businesses can freely experiment, then the optimal path is nationalized.

Free market or centralized economy, at the end of the day someone is making an executive decision about how resources are allocated. Whether you believe that executive person (or committee) should be acting in the best interests of the public or a group of shareholders is a matter of principle, not logistics.
As a child, looking back on it, fishing and doing outdoor activities with my dad was amazing.

That and look into doing sports for your kid. Strength and health + everyone’s recommendation for learning/reading will place your kid miles beyond the average person when he’s older.

I recently read some report of children having TOO WEAK a hand to hold a pencil correctly. I can’t begin to imagine the terrible conditions that will present themselves 20 years later when these kids grow up.
Would lack of automatic deref be less painful with a "->" operator equivalent, or just postfix deref?

I don't want to say automatic deref is harmful, but a lot of the time I wish I could locally deduce more about the level of indirection.

Beyond Elon's current initiative with the Boring Company, can you be more specific with examples of what that might look like? Because otherwise, Tesla doesn't really have a choice but to shoehorn into the current multi-trillion dollar transportation network.
> “I’m not a programmer,[] —oh, engineer, in tech-bro speak. Though to me, engineers are people who build bridges and follow pretty rigid processes for a reason.” His indictment touches a nerve.

No shit it touches a nerve. It's cliché both in sentiment and presentation. No laboratory could design a sentence more tailor-made to light up an American-left cultural-critic writer's brain.

It's almost a work of art that in so few words the speaker postured themselves, namecheked this week's scapegoat and even snuck in a bit of a humble-brag.
I read the Jerry Low article and comments.

On the front-end, I feel like you can group people into two categories:

- Front-end/UI designer - UI specialist with HTML, CSS, wireframing and some JS skills

- Front-end developer - JS engineer typically leveraging JS frameworks and Bootstrap

In the comments section of Jerry's article, it feels like there are a bunch of HTML + CSS specialist who need to re-position themselves as UI designers. They are being displaced by front-end devs who can leverage Bootstrap to do the bulk of the UI. They can work with a UI designer to put together the workflow and tweak the UI.

Jerry also states: "Even without the divide on the front-end I still hear lots of people claiming they’re full stack developers — I guarantee they’re not."

I don't understand his perspective here. If you work on the front and backend then you are a full-stack developer. If on the other hand, a full-stack developer claimed to be an expert on both the front and backend...then I would be wary.
