Yup, improving backend support (and refactoring the backend API to make developing custom backend support easier) is currently my top priority. Initial GitLab support (without the editorial workflow) is very close to being complete - I hope to be releasing an initial PR this coming week if all goes as planned. My latest update in that thread is here: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/pull/517#issuecomment...
Nutritionally, "vegan" milk is almost as good or even better than cow's milk in some regards.

The more important issue is taste and certain chemical/technological properties, which we need in other dairy products
Great to see that Flickr is finally getting some love. I’ve hung in there until now with my pro account - but only just... I’d love to see Explore fixed. It’s a great concept for enthusiastic amateurs to get noticed, but these days the bots fill it with garbage by some inscrutable algorithm that makes the whole thing pointless. Would love to see it fixed.
It’s just YouTube and Netflix. As I posted below, they are using a different protocol. E dry streaming provider supports Roku and there are tons of private channels.
There's something about the acidity of coffee and tea that makes most veggie milks curdle; the result tastes something like cardboard. There were some soy-based (So Good or So Nice branded) coffee creamers that my first-year residence cafeteria offered years ago which stood up nicely in coffee, but I haven't seen them for sale since.
I pulled behind a Model C a couple of days ago. Coukdn’t believe how poor the body panel alignment is, visible from 10’ away. There are no cars with these issues, not even economy cars.
No, it's more like much of what shows up there (from either side) should rightly be questioned. And sometimes those questions are answered and the answers are reasonable, and sometimes not so much.
If your bank flags and blocks your credit card for suspicious activity which you didn't initiate, are you going to "yeah no" them too, and refuse to call them up?

There is nothing wrong with having to call up a financial institution to verify things that raise alarm bells for them.
Overall Denver is less white than the US as a whole, but has some neighborhoods that are almost entirely white (take a look on https://demographics.virginia.edu/DotMap/index.html ). You can hang out in, say, Cherry Creek or Wash Park and see almost entirely white people. Go to Park Hill or south Feds and you see very few white people.
They also need to play fewer games. The Cubs' star Anthony Rizzo said he would gladly take a pay cut. Teams play 162 games a year. That's just insane considering how demanding the sport is and how frequently players get injured.
Funny, funny story.

The US used graphite and paid ridiculous amounts of money for it. The USSR greased pencils or out right crayons instead.
Some definitions of upper middle class start as low as "$62k per earner AND a household income above $100,000". So a huasband and wife who each make $62k would be "upper middle class".

Of course, these definitions are silly and depend on tons of things. A teacher making $60k with difficult-to-lose jobs and a great pension might be better off than a construction worker making $80k. The latter will have a shorter career at that salary, is more exposed to cycles, and will have a tougher time planning for retirement (assuming, of course, the teacher's pension is well-run).

A teacher making $40k with no dependents and no desire to reproduce is practically upper middle class compared to a software engineer making twice that but who's a single mother with 4 kids.

And a teacher making $60k in rural midwest is basically in a different economic class than a teacher making $60k in a coastal city...

> plumber or electrician can earn more than that even in rural areas

Sure. Class isn't just about income; it's also about value systems and educational attainment. Which is definitely classist! But then, we are literally discussing class...
We already have reliable databases. Blockchains purport to offer trustless consensus. If that were true, it'd be a big deal. It's not clear that they do.

But why would eBay want a trustless consensus? Their entire business model is around being that trusted arbiter and broker.

Even off in darkweb land, companies exist to service and broker transactions that then fall back to the blockchain to reconcile payment. So presumably if you were correct we'd see that model emerging.

I've looked, but the inside of Tor is a big place. Maybe you've seen an example I haven't?
Maybe, but after all the talk of training and not knowing why decisions are being made, I really want to keep anything resembling emergent at arms length. I very much more interested on multi-agent systems effects on resource allocation and maintainability.

I see your line of thinking as great and interesting, but I'm now in the camp that sees a lot of people blaming "algorithms" for computer decisions that have negative effects (banning or denying resources) on people and thinking that's ok they cannot explain their program's decisions.
Switching to Roku to avoid ads - you might be disappointed.
Regards translating the Cyberiad, the famous scene where Klapaucius tests Trurl's AI poetry machine has been translated by Michael Kandel:

“Have it compose a poem — a poem about a haircut!
But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love,
treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face
of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and
every word beginning with the letter S!!”

“And why not throw in a full exposition of the
general theory of nonlinear automata while you’re
at it?” growled Trurl. “You can’t give it such
idiotic — ”

But he didn’t finish. A melodious voice filled the
hall with the following:

“Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.
She scissored short. Sorely shorn,
Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
Silently scheming,
Sightlessly seeking
Some savage, spectacular suicide.”

... I don't know any Polish, but having found a more literal rendering of the original[1] it seems Kandel has not made it worse!

Is there any roadmap for how the cloud-native chart is progressing? I’m really interested in switching to that, as the current implementation takes almost 15 minutes to restart and uses over 8GB RAM when idle for me.
Considering the kinds of experiments that have occurred in the past on electrical stimulation of the brain and memory recall, I would say that the amount of memory being used in the brain exceeds any limit we may well put on it by many, many orders of magnitude.

The major problem is that we are not trained today to recall most of what gets laid down. We are far to dependent of external storage mechanisms, books, videos, etc, that we no longer train ourselves to actually recall and pass on our knowledge.

I am not saying that external memory is bad, just that we should be using all options available to us.

Our understanding of the brain and its mechanisms is very much in the very early stages - we have just scratched the surface.
Sounds fine. With a Model 3 LR, you could have a 100 mile commute each way, do 20 miles for errands, then visit your friend 50 miles away and return home before recharging. And I’m pretty sure 100 mile commutes are highly unusual.
I’m assuming they got better since the fictional 60s ;)
There seem to be several people involved with GitLab here, so maybe one of you would be kind enough to answer the question I've had for a long time: what exactly is GitLab? I've met several people who speak well of it or mention particular things they use it for, so I have to assume there is something very useful in there, but unfortunately I've always found the web site more confusing than enlightening.

> Note that they weren't even allowed to see and contest the assessment

I don't know much about how risk assessment in large organizations is done, but that strikes me as an illegitimate attempt to stifle debate. Are there any legitimate reasons the university administrators might keep the risk assessment secret?
As I said in my first post, the evidence for chlorine being added to barrel bombs is strong, and that’s certainly a chemical weapon. I haven’t seen any good evidence of nerve agents used though, which are another class of chemical weapon, and what relates to this blog.

I would also point out that this whole chemical weapons debate is an emotional dog whistle. Somehow we accept dropping 1000lb barrel bombs loaded with shrapnel on civilians, but the addition of chlorine makes it inhumane? Come on, it’s mass slaughter in Syria, and chemicals doing the bulk of the damage are high explosives and incendiaries.

Let’s be honest with ourselves and each other, and accept that we either care about this, or don’t. Don’t buy into narratives that somehow it only matters when gas is involved. The important considerations have to do with the degree of killing (which is huge) and what we feel we can do about it at an acceptable cost (very little). We should be honest about why we’re hysterical about Syria (Russia) and almost totally ignoring Yemen (Saudi Arabia).
The account number is literally on the bottom of your checks. It's not a secret and shouldn't be treated as one.

Also in Australia/NZ, transfers are two directional as well. But just like the US, transfers happen in batches and through authorized banks (well until very recently when AU implemented instant transfer). As long as it's within the same country, you can track down fraud and close down those accounts.

ACH is the US is restricted in a very similar way. It's very difficult for a non-bank to submit ACH files unless via a bank. The US could easily have a system just like AU/NZ/much of Europe (and in many EU country, they just add a TAN number, a one time non-reusable token to transfer funds).

I wrote a post about this a while back:

Chromecast, the device, can not.

Chromecast, the protocol, could – if Google wasn’t banning developers from using it.
This article misses an option I've seen used by the city which I live in: Austin, TX.

Instead of building a serious mass transit system, the city encouraged the greenfield development of high density urban clusters outside the downtown region. So the companies moving in now have option to be located in the Downtown or the "New Downtown" (called the Domain).

I think this has been a very successful strategy. But it depends on whether you can convince enough people/companies to move to the alternate high density development.
So we have a REST API created using node and most of the job happens on Postgres and sql files.

Basically, 95% of the methods depend on database [and it's current state].

How can I unit test this?

I've given up on unit tests. They wouldn't make any sense. E2E tests are helping us a lot but I had several attempts to have unit tests but they don't make any sense at all.
A lot of the blind programmer articles I've seen are of the "l33t hax0r who can root your box by whistling into the phone" variety. So... the press is not entirely uniform.

I see a whole bunch of assumptions and demands for a piece of free software that no one demanded you use.

In regards to who he can blame, and can't blame, can we all decide to blame you if he decides he's sick of ungrateful users and just stops development all together?

What exactly do you think a distributed ledger is other than a normal ledger and a trustless consensus protocol?
> Interactive editing and debugging is limited to top-level code.

Very true. When programming in jupyter notebooks I often put off wrapping my code in a function because it becomes harder to interact with and debug. But this obviously becomes problematic when you want to leverage code reuse and abstraction.

In order to tackle this (somewhat) I made a tool [1] which allows you to take code anywhere and get it back into a jupyter notebook and make it top-level (e.g. function function/method and loop bodies).

Quick note, the existing Let's Encrypt integration does not support Pages. We are working on it, but it's worth noting Pages has multiple modes it can run in.

One is by setting up wildcard domains at the server level, like we have on GitLab.com with gitlab.io. We have an issue open for this, but the primary challenge is that Let's Encrypt requires DNS-01 validation for wildcard certificates, with a new challenge each renewal. That is difficult to automate through our Omnibus package. The issue tracking this work is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/3342

The other method allows users bring their own "custom domains": https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/pages/#custom-doma...

This is easier to manage, as we can do HTTP or SNI validation for each domain without hitting LE's rate limits. We are working on this now here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996

wont LED screens cause more stress on the eyes than a projection? I hate 3D movies, my eyes feel very tired from the constant refocusing. I think LED screens at this size and in a dark environment would have the same effect.
In that case Bitcoin might be caught in a "big freeze". Bitcoin takes about 2000 blocks to adjust difficulty, so if it becomes worthless overnight, the amount of hash power could drop enough that no new blocks will ever be found, and without any new blocks the difficulty will never adjust.

So one player would need to buy the vast majority of all miners, and even then they would only be capable of doing a double spend attack on a dead blockchain.
Very cool. Reminds me of https://twitter.com/progressbar201x

Please see the referenced paper. They address this.

Because Selfish Mining attacks are not inherently detectable, you cannot expect the average user to detect them.

Too many refutations of selfish mining appeal to an oracle. This is an example of such an argument.

It's more than just annoying. Schools typically offer opportunities for funding to official clubs. I'm guessing this club needs to pay for things like rental fees for equipment, equipment purchases, etc. Now students who want to engage in these activities have to self-fund, which may not be possible.

Meanwhile other students can engage in much more dangerous activities (downhill skiing, football, etc.) with school funding. That makes no sense.

I don’t get why you’d reference ‘OS X’ in the title when that name was retired years ago. I assumed this was an app that had been around for a while yet the domain was registered just yesterday.

Also, I don’t know about anyone else but I find ‘Progress Bar’ as an app name to be really vague. I wouldn’t know it was a year progress widget without visiting the site.

P.s. you’re welcome to my genius naming idea ‘Year Progress macOS’.
Great article. I don't agree with 100% of your points but testing is a field where everyone has their own opinion shaped by their own experience, and I think you've covered every approach (along with its pros and cons) exceptionally well.

So test that with mocked data.

Otherwise at that point you’re doing integration testing, not unit tests.

My kids are a bit younger (8 and 9), but I was keen to get them into board gaming. However, even my attention span isn't that great these days and I don't particularly want to play 2+ hour games or something that takes forever to learn. So I jumped onto BGG, and filtered the top rated games to games that are 30-60 mins max, 2-4 player (it's good when they're still fun with 2 people, not always everyone wants to play), and suitable for 10 year olds.

Doing that, found about a dozen that would work. Did a bulk order (way cheaper to buy from the US), and have been very happy.
OK... let's walk through this.

How do you KNOW that Google, and all of the people Google has allowed access to your data, have deleted it?

Do you see where I'm going?

You have absolutely no way of knowing whether Google deleted your data or not. You just get an email maybe saying that your data was deleted. But that email is only warranting deletion within the parameters of the original T&C you agreed to.

Now compare that to Netflix or Apple. They have NO WAY AT ALL of knowing what I searched for on my home or work machines. If I'm using Google Chrome, as the vast majority of users are, then Google knows not only what I searched for, but also which web pages I went to. When I went to them. And what I did when I was there. Netflix, Apple and Pandora/Spotify etc have almost no way to determine that level of detail about me.

MAYBE AT&T does, which is why I listed them as a priority concern. But very few companies outside of the ISP's, Google and Facebook would even have access to that information. Not even Microsoft and Apple would have access to that level of detail about you. Let's face it, not many people use Edge or Safari.

Even on your phone, Google will ALWAYS have access to more data about you than Apple does. I was getting lots of ads for health insurance on my desktop. They claimed that if I could run a sub-7 minute mile I could get a break on my insurance. A friend of mine told me it was because I used Youtube on my runs in the morning. So Google knew how fast I could run. So we did an experiment where I slowed down for a week, sure enough, the number changed to 8 minute miles. Apple, Spotify, Netflix etc would not have even known that I was searching for health insurance on my machines. But Google not only knew that, but was smart enough to watch me while I was out running to give me an ad that would seem more attractive to me.

Yeah... I stopped using Youtube.

We don't know what operations the brain is actually doing, so declaring that it is performing them efficiently is pure speculation.

Similarly, the brain surely has limits to parallelism, for the same sorts of reasons a computer does. You only have one mouth, so if two parts of the brain tried to speak, fully parallelized, you'd get nonsense at best. They have to agree on what to say, which is effectively serialization.
One fad in the 1990's was agent-oriented computing. You'd have scripts that carried code and data from place to place. For instance, you might send a bidding agent with your strategies to eBay's marketplace where it would constantly look for stuff you'd be interested in doing only deals you'd want. In day and age of 28Kbps links, there were advantages to not having to constantly move data back and forth. One of most interesting options came from General Magic:

Could you rephrase this? I think I'm missing the point. You can update a MR with a regular push. You can also browse through different versions of a MR diff (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/versi...). A force push "is required" only if your local history doesn't match the remote history.
