> Can you go to a bar and leave your bike inside?

That's a good thing. But leaving it locked outside and walking ten meters into the bar works fine.

> I don't have an electric one, just a normal push scooter

How far do you commute on that thing? Yesterday I rode 15 km to a lake to meet some friends. When leaving I felt like riding more so I took a 30 km detour to a natures reserve before I began pedaling home. The freedom bicycles give me is why I truly love them so much. No electronic black box with limited range stopping me, just simple mechanics and my legs.

Another great thing is that it can carry the things I need to take with me (usually a lot). Racks and panniers are awesome and takes carrying the load off my body.

And yeah, I get to exercise while having fun.
> Think of Go as a better Python and Rust as a better C.

That's an interesting position, because the Go designers specifically intended for Go to be a better C.
Chrome has search and url in the same bar, and therefore needs to log all urls you enter (and their metadata) for the sake of logging all searches. Absolutely benign, right?

Safari shares the same url/search bar, but I have not read their license. Would be pretty surprised if they are not logging all URLs.
Of course it's true. You say yourself, everyone knows what it means. It's totally unrelated to say that not everyone likes the usage.

Sometimes innovation is better than imitation though - we didn't build the jumbo jet by copying the birds and likewise attempting to copy the biological brain may not be the best route for AI.

This is why the 'neurones' used in ANN's are nothing like biological neurones really - both in the properties of the activation functions and the structure of the net as a whole (which is difficult as we still know relatively few details about the structure of the human brain on a neural circuitry level).

That's not base at any rate, you can't get all cores at 4.7Ghz stock, 4.7 is a turbo-boost single core. No way you get that w/o a pretty decent cooler on a non-delidded CPU unless happen to have a chip that requires no extra voltage at all.

It's true that many games are predominantly single core, though but it's likely to get a single core 4.5Ryzen as well.

It seems to me that Europeans will use any excuse under the sun to fork language, branch and create a new dialect. If one Austrian village has brown goats, and the other white, or if there is a lake between them, or maybe a mountain, or if maybe there's an apocryphal tale of a farmers daughter going off to live with a shoe-makers son, across a few days of travel - well then, its time for a new dialect ...

And I honestly think its not productive, in the sense that dialects are intentionally propagated in a fashion as to cause one "in-group" to have its detractors. It really seems to me that the forces driving us to create new, unintelligible dialects, are the same forces which allow us to justify heinous crimes against others - just at a different scale. Speaking in such a way as to differentiate oneself from others, I believe, is a root cause of so much of humanities stress.

But the quandary is, I also believe we should not let these odd languages die. As an Australian, I find it a terrible shame that we've lost 70,000 years of this factor, in the genocides against the Australian aborigines. But, on the other hand, I think Europeans have taken the tribalism just a little too far. Its a contradiction that I haven't quite resolved, although I've come close: perhaps the solution is to continue to encourage the creation of dialects, as long as there are tools such as the Internet around to assist with overcoming the confusion that results when two dialects clash...
Ok so...

There's no "BBC fee". Theres a TV Licence fee.

You don't need to pay it if you don't own a tv. Or you own a tv hooked up to a playstation. There's also many other (legal) reasons to not pay for it.

There's no such thing as a "british council court house". There's magistrates court, where non-payment of the license fee might end up at.

"50 percent of the criminals that pass through a British councils court houses, are there for non payment of bbc license fee" is a ridiculous statement. It's closer to 1 in 10, a fact you could have discovered by a simple google search. You can find a related article here: https://fullfact.org/news/do-tv-licence-offences-account-one...

A criminal conviction for non payment of the tv license fee will not show up in most checks, and you don't have to disclose it.

"We have mothers tell us things like, 'I need to do a chore very quickly, and if my toddler tries to help, he makes a mess. So I'd rather do it myself than having them helping,' " she says.

I see some women do this but exchange the "toddler" with "husband". The husband will ofcourse see this and not try to help in the future because he feels insecure or just happy that she is happy doing it herself. It isn't too late to train new things just because you aren't a toddler any more. This focus on getting your toddler learning algebra or play the violin as early as possible isn't productive, let the kids be kids. This includes letting them help at home ofcourse.
Except it is not a loop[1], but a non-tail recursive function (with dual calls), if the compiler can optimise that to a loop that is actually impressive.

Most likely function call overhead (and in the slower cases, interpreter overhead) is probably what is being measured in the best case.

I think Google has a very strong incentive to protect my data from that sort of thing, and a lot of layers to ensure this. One rogue employee can't get access to my email. Why?

Meanwhile, why should I trust that that guy living on the sidewalk won't jump up and bash my head with a hammer? Or that the person driving the car in the opposite lane won't swerve into my lane and kill me? I just try to keep risks in perspective.

>I really don't understand why technical people would start recommending its use to others on blogs in its current state.

Because when ordinary users ask "what can I do to protect my privacy?" you have two possible answers:

a) "Nothing, you're not smart enough to do this, you're screwed"

b) "These things"

B has a high learning curve, but telling people about it scares them off. If you care about your friends privacy and want to get them past that learning curve, it's better to let them stumble into issues and be there to answer questions.

Only the Paranoid Survive (Chamath Palihapitiya)
> First of all, I had to buy a 3rd party app that does CardDAV and CalDAV syncing, because unlike iOS, Android doesn't support it natively.

Android is made by Google and they now have an interest in not promoting open protocols. They are no longer the underdog, so it's in their best interest to push their proprietary protocols. It doesn't always work, the former Google Talk was great because it was light and compatible with XMPP, it all went to shit after Hangouts happened and I'm glad that Hangouts is almost dead.

Either way, you need to recognize that if Android doesn't work well with CardDAV / CalDAV, that's a problem that Google is creating.

> IMAP doesn't come close to what I was used to with Gmail. And I'm not talking about the lack of good global search, I mean the general responsiveness when reading emails. No matter which client I use.

If you're using Gmail, again, that's not fair because their IMAP implementation isn't that great. I haven't had any problems with iOS's Mail or with MailMate (https://freron.com/), in combination with FastMail.

Speaking of which, I use MailMate with my Gmail accounts too, because I love it and all third-party email apps work better with FastMail, because Gmail's IMAP is not standard; e.g. labels are IMAP folders instead of IMAP keywords, so you get duplicate emails and the client needs to do tricks to reconcile the two.

I also use Gmail accounts on iOS and Gmail doesn't do push email on iOS (FastMail does), but I don't mind it so much to be honest. I don't like being bombarded with notifications, so if email notifications from Gmail are a minute late, it doesn't matter.

And it should go without saying that if you want push notifications on Android's Gmail app, then you can't use IMAP. I don't know of any good solutions for Android, I was a user of K9 because it's open source and does push notifications for IMAP, but it's not great.

And now I'm an iOS user because it has better support for open protocols, even if I was a die hard Android fan. I might reconsider for my next phone, I might get back to Android, but when I do, I'll factor in the cost of using open protocols, because it's Android's fault for IMAP, CardDAV and CalDAV not working well.
True. But from the parody you very quickly get the idea what kind of person Taleb is, and the text kind of summarises my feelings towards him, so I find it concise.

But you should of course take it with a grain of salt, since I used this word itself to mock Taleb, implying that his work can be summarised in a short Guardian parody piece.
I've never really met or talked to anyone that had both actually used autotools, and liked them. I find it positively invigorating how enormous the span of human perception and affinities seems to be.

While autotools mostly solves a very hard problem using several strategies and tactics that has come to prove themselves over time in that space, and outside of autotools, many of the implementation choices are absolutely puzzling. M4, the general weirdness of things, and not to mention the 10k+ lines of auto generated shell scripts to probe for features.

I've never loved maven, but at least it's insanity is rather symmetric.

The Borders thing is a pattern that happens all over the country; pop-up Halloween costume stores love old Borders locations, and other abandoned retail spaces.

I suspect it's a combination of factors that leads to this:

* Retail was heavily overbuilt leading up to the 2008 market crash, so even a decade later there's oversupply of retail real estate compared to demand for it

* The economics of brick-and-mortar retail haven't gotten much better, which further depresses demand

* There are probably uses for those properties as tools for tax arbitrage which are best served by keeping them empty (and in California, the fear of Proposition 13 reassessment being triggered by redeveloping the property)

So leaving it empty most of the year, with the seasonal rental, may be the best option for the owner of the property.
I think he's spot on here. The culture clash between a society where the young are to be incarcerated in some kind of padded safe space and a society where the young are junior members of adult society is all too apparent in Western Europe.

Youngsters from my neck of the woods are lining up to enter the wealthy European countries and the politicians and anatomists have been whipped up in a panicked frenzy trying to determine from X-rays who is over and who is under the arbitrary age of 18, while any culturally sensitive person will plainly who are grown men of military and marrying age where they come from and who aren't.

And what do the ones who qualify as "children" or successfully lie on their applications get? They may be grown men where they come from, but men who are too naive to realise what they are lining up for is to be castrated by the welfare state. They are asking to become incarcerated children, and when they realise where they have been lured, who can blame these strapping young fighters for embracing gang culture and shooting up their host neighbourhoods in endless retaliation between the various lord-pretenders of the flies?

That's a very ignorant opinion.

> the best way to ensure that you have the largest possible number of eyes on it

Potentially. Or it means that your work becomes diluted and lost in the ocean. The Instagram problem: many eyes but they're focused on a few targets. Most 'normal' posters will have only a handful of followers and a few 'likes'.

If you have a specialised codebase, say something to do with astrophotography, putting it on Github isn't really going to launch it into the mainstream with thousands of contributors who just stumbled upon it. People who need it will find it by other channels regardless of where it is hosted.
You deal with that by giving an actual example of something bad that has happened to someone who has not worried about what Google tracking them. I haven't seen one.

I mean, people who advise me not to text and drive can give real examples of people who died because they did that. That's tangible. All I hear is a lot of people telling me what I should care about but refuse to supply anything but intangibles and theoreticals.

Personally, the first thing I look at when I look into a new server side language is how it does in benchmarks conpared to other similar languages (such as the TechEmpower benchmarks). I know that those types of benchmarks are flawed in a lot of ways, but performance is probably the only objective way to evaluate a language, and I’m much more likely to learn about a language if it looks like it’s fast.

From what I’ve seen for Jester/Nim, it’s not really benchmarked a lot, and it doesn’t seem particularly fast where it is benchmarked. This could perhaps be fixed by better implementations for the benchmarks or some optimization in Jester itself.

I think a strong story for performance would go a long way towards improving awareness of Nim. Crystal does very well in such tests, and I think that is one of the most appealing parts of the language. In fact, I evaluated both Nim and Crystal for server side development a while back, and quickly dismissed Nim because it didn’t seem to be all that fast. I eventually dismissed Crystal too because of the compile times and syntax, but I put a lot more time into it.

I'm curious how they use OSM. If they mix the OSM data with other data, then OSM's GPL-like 'share alike' licence clause kicks in....

> They use OSM (and about 300 other sources). On a map, click on the "legal" link, then click through the "more" link to see the list.

If you don't merge OSM data, then you only need to attribute OSM. And I don't think this is sufficient for the licence, which says: "You must include a notice ... reasonably calculated to make any Person that is exposed to the Work aware that Content was obtained from [OSM]". i.e. basically every map has to say "OSM"
Agreed. But what can we infer from this? Let's suppose "good" refers to "privacy respecting", with regard to users.

The primary difference is that closed source cannot feasibly be determined to be good. This is an inherent property of being closed -- we, as the users, have no proper access to investigate the actions performed by the program.

Open source software can, potentially, be classified as privacy respecting. As others have mentioned, this is not a trivial task. It requires significant contributions from the community to audit the code perpetually. We cannot exercise complacency here and presume someone else has already performed this action on our behalf.

(Tangent: Perhaps we need to develop a system to keep track of which sections of which open source projects have been audited, and by whom. A list of volunteer auditors for each source file on a GitLab repository, for example? With each audit being associated with a hash/commit for that file. In the current model, reading the code without finding any privacy concerns means no commit. Whether there is value in keeping track of this occurrence and leveraging it to conclude an increase in trustworthiness of the project is both a philosophical and practical question.)

So being open source does not magically make software more privacy respecting. But it does open the door, and invite us to investigate its claims and behavior; something that closed source does not. It's our responsibility to capitalize on that advantage.

Considering the current state of privacy violators and malicious actors in this industry, a "guilty until proven innocent" approach might be the most pragmatic. This is not a form of scaremongering; this skepticism applies to both closed and open source software equally, contributing to a solid foundation of good OpSec and assisting to shape the industry into more ethical business models.

The GDPR reference is totally relevant.
You see, every popular library or js include has some kind of tracking in it. It’s default implementation, the one you copy and paste, or added via package manager, is either by default contains something hosted on a cdn, other server outside your control, contains embedded google analytics or other. It’s all justified. But it’s not GDPR compliant without my explicit plain language opt in.
This little bit of html, you can freely copy and paste, into whatever you feel like, has no tracking in it. It’s completely self contained, any tracking of its usage must be done by the copy/paster, the company that oversees your browsers activity, or your isp’s deep packet sniffing.
Also, the project now has 5 stars. Not fake either, sorry about that. The project must be resonating. Perhaps the flagging made it more important.
