So what's the advantage? It looks like all downside to me. From an app developer standpoint, I'd have to deal with multiple platforms and distributors. From a user standpoint, I'd have to hope the developer made the app available for my platform, and go through some install process before I got to use it. This way, it loads (with a cold cache) in half a second.
Why not build a system for distributing apps that's distinct from pre-existing systems to distribute documents though? Presumably this is the goal of the App Store, and the very premise underlying smart phones. What has caused this model to fail? Why did I have to stop using my Symbian phone? It had a web browser.
Nope, cell phones are the most popular method, but there's also a web app for Messenger (messenger.com) which makes it even more convenient.
Actually, I think SpaceX as a satellite launch company is living this advice as well as one could. You need at least one engine and one launch vehicle, so they built Merlin and Falcon. The rest of their LV development has been steady iterative improvements to those platforms. This strategy enabled them to achieve reusable boosters, because building sophisticated autonomous flight controls on top of a known, proven, reliable LV is much easier than doing it on top of a newly minted one.

Roundcube doesn't handle large inboxes well.

Squirrelmail had this nice option where I could set a BCC for every email - I BCC all my emails to myself (hack to get around another problem). Roundcube has no such option.

In my experience, I have seen no benefit that Roundcube has (feature-wise) other than being prettier.
This seems extremely contrived and at best misleading, if it is meant to be more than an exercise to teach someone to code. If there were a function that could produce subsets of primes in a sequence via a C-infinity function (as you are doing via your trained neural net), then it is extremely, extremely unlikely that all of the known pseudo-randomness properties of prime numbers and their k-point functions are true. In some ways, this would be a sort of converse to the Green-Tao theorem --- one can 'easily' produce subsets of primes contained in arithmetic or geometric sequences. Can you provide a better justification for this project? I tend to find 'approximating primes via neural networks' as a silly combination of buzzwords that ignores all of the known facts about primes. At best, this project appears to perform a numerical experiment of the claim,

"For all epsilon > 0, there exists an easy to compute C-infinity function (that can depend on epsilon) that can take an arithmetic/geometric/arithmetico-geometric sequence and produce, with high probability, a subset of primes of this sequence whose volume relative to all primes in this sequence is at least 1 - epsilon"

Why should one believe that this is true?

Is visited the USA just once (in 2003), but there was an old man that took my bag off the end of the luggage belt at the airport and handed it to me. I could easily have picked it up myself, but he was there for those 30 centimeters of bag travel. I remember being amazed about it and remarking the pointlessness of that job to my coworkers.

You can only upgrade hardware so much. If by doing a lot of low-level optimizations, you can remove (or delay) the need to build a complex distributed system, then the optimizations end up paying big dividends beyond just the cost of the machines.
You can visualize CSVs easily without scripting: use Tableau or some other BI tool [1] (not free though).

One thing that people forget: "LTE" stands for "Long-Term Evolution". It was built in to the name that the technology and stack is what we would consider a draft.
I mean, sure, I have some ideas that would work as a PWA, but this feature is hardly global to every phone, and depending on your app, totally undoable as a PWA. Some phones don't even support the drawer, and it's just as strange to ask someone to download a special browser to use one. Lastly, there is bound to be something that won't work even on Chrome.

It seems to me that all apps are either a pure app or really silly basic and would be equally useful as a responsive website. For example, I once used a HN app, but it really wasn't any different than just using the website because it was completely worthless without the internet. I'd just say make things a responsive website until you run into features that absolutely don't work on a browser, then go native. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is much necessary overlap.

This will be dependent on big advancements in shore based electrical power costs in the future, but is not totally far fetched:

1) ridiculously low $ per kWh electricity from multi hundred megawatt scale photovoltaic plants may may cracking hydrogen from seawater economical. It takes a ton of power, but if your power is almost free, it can work.

2) store the hydrogen. This has its own technical problems but in terms of energy density can replace heavy fuel oil

3) power ships from massively parallel arrays of hydrogen fuel cells, driving electric thrusters such as current generation large azipods.

Or, if there is some amazing advancement in Wh stored per kilogram/cubic meter of battery, in battery technology generally, skip the hydrogen step and have short to medium range small cargo ships the size of "geared" containerships which recharge in a fashion similarly to the upcoming Tesla semi tractor.
Pretty different. WiMax was a legitimate competitor for the 4G standard and was significantly different than 3G and 3.5G networks (Like the HSDPA stuff that some carriers tried to call 4G)

For what it’s worth, I’m with you on donations. But consider that not all NPR affiliates need money in the same way, and in the same way as NPR itself. My local affiliate definitely does need the money, for example, so I donate to them. WBEZ and WNYC are in much more affluent areas with different members. Likewise, those stations generate content that member stations pay for - again, mine doesn’t. There are lots of factors at play with how public radio is funded, and I wasn’t terribly surprised that either of two stations had sufficient funds to use here, not NPR national.

A duopoly is bad, but better than a monopoly and anti-competitive practices are still anti-competitive practices. You don't get to flout the law and do something bad just because the market currently sucks.

Im working on a game RL framework for turn-based games, my aim was to learn about self-play and RL.

I found if you structure the human controller in the exact same way as the AI controllers, you can swap them easily. So I have Agent (abstract), HumanAgent (takes keyboard input), and DqnAgent (DQN learning agent) as the different controllers, the rest of the code is agnostic to the controller. With this setup you can also do things like record your own gameplay.

If your goal is running the track in minimal time, you could reward it at the end (reward = -1* elapsed_time), or as you go (reward=current_speed), or once each lap, etc. These sound similar but may have different training properties. So maybe plan to explore your reward shaping space a bit.
I think Google is aware their products perform better on Chrome and does not devote resources to correct this, leading the user experiences on Edge or even firefox to be similar but not equal.

I'd make the argument that the parent should not be down voted because Google, perhaps in a small way, allows degraded experiences on other platforms for one reason or another.

is what drove me over the edge on the Acceptable Ads program as well, and I switched off of ABP and onto uBlock Origin for this same reason.

I get that it probably doesn't break the Acceptable Ads rules, since they are probably stuff like: your ad isn't allowed to talk, or to pretend to be someone like the FBI or the user's Operating System, or include a JS payload that tries to break out of the browser sandbox, or to break the page layout, or to move around or flash. Those "Around the Web" things break none of those rules, and from a technical standpoint I don't know of anything objectionable about them. Not to mention none of this stuff is any worse than the papers I see in the grocery aisle, and Eyeo probably doesn't want to enter the business of judging whether a headline is Truth or not.

But tabloids have done enough damage to our society without migrating them to the Internet. So off to UBO I go, and I'm bringing everyone else with me that I can. Also, you should delete your Facebook account and never go back, because there's tabloid crap in there, too.
Thanks. I think I searched years back and came up with very small hobby wheels. It looks like there are a lot more options now.
I've been writing code for ten years, I've been fairly comfortable in vim at times, customizing it and navigating with the keyboard full time.

I find myself using the mouse all the time, and I don't understand this obsession with mouse-less text editing. The mouse lets me perform selections, and with some key-combos in sublime text sets me up for multiple cursor editing very nicely, in ways that would be much much more complex if I were trying to do them in vim.

I've always wanted to try out Acme, a mouse-first editor from plan nine, with all of this obsession with cutting the mouse out entirely, it feels like there is space for an editor to really consider what the mouse can be used for.

The Apple Watch is probably a rounding error when compared to the iPhone, however:

"But the most interesting stuff came when Cook referred to the success of Apple Watch. The Watch sales are part of the wearables business which also includes headphones such as Beats and AirPods.

Last May, he said that business is approaching the size of a Fortune 500 company. More recently, last month, the size had crept up so it would fall in the top 400"

The advantage for the user is that they don't have to open up their browser, computer, or mobile device to being exploited, spied upon, or advertised-to by an ocean of javascript garbage on the web. Their web browsing experience will be tremendously improved and streamlined.

If they want a particular app, they can click to download and run it explicitly. It's not a big deal.

From the developer and business standpoint, it might be a disadvantage not to have something like javascript available to use. It's more inconvenient, and now they can't spy on, advertise to, or track the user as easily.

But I'm for a user-centric web, not a business-centric or developer-centric web.
There were some great comments on lobster.rs. The one about groups A, A', and B was one of the best things I've read about this kind of thing in a while.
SEC filings say 81 investors for the first 850m and 94 for the second. Does it matter who it's sold to though? In the context of the parent question it doesn't, it was only a question of whether it was sold at all.
That demographic you're referring to is no less likely to be involved in traffic accidents that can send you to the closest available hospital. In the US that means an ambulance bill and very likely a hospital bill that your insurance might not cover, and the high possibility of chronic pain that's not necessarily covered by your health insurance. And that's even before having to deal with lawyers in order to obtain compensation back from the driver's insurance company in order to repay the out of pocket expenses. (The system, at least in California is set up in such a way that the car insurance has to pay 3X the costs to divide in thirds for 1) your lawyer, 2) your insurance provider and 3) yourself.)
Wow, that's awesome. Honestly vanilla vim is often not that performant due to limitations of how terminals work. I wouldn't be surprised if OpenGL onivim could outperform terminal vim in a lot of scenarios. How does it compare to gvim's performance?
First, a little bit of background: back in 1993, I uploaded Volkov Commander to Simtel FTP, they complained to the university I was uploading pirated software and I got booted from the university VAX. Noone gave a hoot about explanation or the truth.

In 2001, Dmitry Sklyarov was arrested. When I was choosing where to immigrate in 2006, this arrest was a factor in ruling out the USA (I was in a position I could choose).

In 2017, Marcus Hutchins was arrested. Since then I have not even entered the USA and will not unless badly pressed for business. This costs me hundreds of dollars when travelling to Europe but the risk is unacceptably high now.

I do not want to second guess everything I do. I do not want a simtel like misunderstanding to become a federal felony and possibly jail time.

I live in Vancouver BC, in safety and freedom. And I can't imagine how a freeminded tinkerer of software (deliberately not using "hacker" here to avoid a misunderstanding) could possibly choose to leave this for the danger the US is because of the DMCA and CFAA.

> That's what they usually say, but they also usually oppose policy which would make legal immigration easier and relieve pressure that creates illegal immigration, and frequently support policies to restrict legal immigration. And it's not just 10% of conservatives supporting this kind of policy.

Look, I'm a liberal but I will call out the Dems when I need to. Most of the reforms to legal immigration have always been a sort of addendum, or a two-part deal with relief for the illegal immigrants included in them. Democrats haven't proposed a bill which purely targets legal immigration. So its a little unfair to say that conservatives are opposed to all kinds of Immigration.

Nit: that’s not the best wording. if the executable is being executed by something like `exec` then these are just “arguments”; the command line (i.e. a shell) isn’t involved. Do embedded systems support something like `exec`?

I will repost my comment from the last time this was on the front page. Hopefully it's more constructive than "electron sux lol":

I've been using Oni for the last few weeks as my daily driver (I liked it so much I signed up as a monthly sponsor), and here's my take on it:

It's a fairly new project, but it's under _very_ active development. There's an excellent community building around it and I think we will be seeing some really great progress over the next year. That said, it isn't anywhere close to feature parity with vscode, but the value proposition is: neovim, with vscode compatible snippets and typescript-language-server-driven autocomplete (also works with vanilla JS) out of the box. AFAIK it works with any language language server with a few lines of configuration. I have tried several times to get You Complete Me working to my satisfaction and never quite got there despite spending several weekends working on it. Oni just works.

The bonus value proposition is: since it is a GUI wrapper around neovim, you get to retain all of the muscle memory you have built up in your years of using vim, but potentially also get many of the goodies that a graphical IDE like vscode provides. I have tried the vscode vim extensions, and they are really impressive, but they are still limited by the vscode extension api and at the end of the day it's not a real vim. For me, it was just not-vimish enough to constantly interrupt my flow; I believe the original inspiration for Oni was the creator's frustrations with vscode vim extensions.

I have been digging into the development process and I've been _really_ impressed with how brilliant and industrious the main contributors are; features are getting added at a breakneck pace. A few things that are in the works: real-time browser pane with auto-refresh (I just tried out the browser feature and it works like it's just another vim buffer... pretty awesome stuff!), markdown preview, a gamified tutor mode for newbies, and a webgl renderer that is about 10x faster in benchmarks than the canvas renderer.
