Tell me about it! I moved into a (100% illegal) squat off the Morgan stop in 2008 after high school... that neighborhood was blast back then. The bicycle club below us was shut down because they were moving automatic weapons through a daycare center (who sends their toddlers to an MC-run daycare center?). Kind of crazy how quickly NYC has changed!

That would be off-brand. Most executives speak very demurely to the public about their interest in making money.
Totally agree- have seen the vibe you describe above at numerous restaurants lately. The part that saddens me is the food recipient tends to take it out on the delivery person, "Food was cold!! ZERO STARS, NO TIP!!" when in actuality that person was given an impossible task- to deliver more food per hour than the laws of physics over time and distance would allow without teleportation.

I work in property development and also see this happening more and more frequently for contractor and appliance delivery people... instead of showing up to deliver your appliance, they mark you as "not home" or "unavailable" and skip attempting delivery or install altogether- that way they get to bring the stuff back to the warehouse, don't have to bother wasting time attempting to delivery it and the guy on the next shift has to deal with it.

Native UI gives you things like decent accessibility support and conformance to platform conventions for free, as well as automatic support for new system features like the dark mode being added in macOS Mojave.

Other than that, it’s just one less thing you have to bundle when distributing your app — especially if you opt to use the local JS engine instead of V8. A JS desktop app written with something like Vue Native and system JS will be a great deal more lightweight than its electron equivalent.

> The majority of men love themselves while women love others. Men will sacrifice for themselves. Women will sacrifice for others.

What is this based on? Militaries have always had far more men than women. Men sacrifice for their families and children all the time - many less privileged men work lifetimes at jobs they hate to support their families.

For anyone confused, currently you have a choice of either "Standard Environment", which is Python 2.7 only, or "Flexible Environment" which allows you to choose Python 2.7, Python 3.6, or your own Python runtime [1][2]. This is about supporting Python 3 in the "Standard Environment". It's unclear whether the intention is to replace Python 2 or allow a choice?

The title makes you think he replaced his computer usage with the iPad, but further down in the article he reveals that he uses a desktop PC to get real work done due to inflexibility in iOS.

Seems like the iPad is still not a productivity machine.
I can't for the life of me understand the mentality that would prefer a long exhausting run compared to 6 or so reps of a heavy weight until failure, for three sets, finished in 5 minutes. Running makes me feel like I'm gonna die. Weightlifting makes me feel like that only with extremely powerful lifts like doing squats. Can you explain why you prefer to draw out the discomfort rather than ripping the bandaid off immediately?

As some other comment points out, this element has been used to bypass security checks of web based email clients [0]:

> Avanan says cybercriminals have found a simple way to bypass this security feature by using a <base> tag in the HTML header – basically splitting the malicious URL. Using this method, Safe Links only checks the base domain and ignores the rest – the link is not replaced and the user is allowed to access the phishing site.

To me, this seems more an overlook, if not a bug, of the email link protection system.

It is right. Most bond ETFs (and some stock ETFs) buy only a statistical sample of the index, not the whole thing. It usually works fine.

The scientific method is the most important tool that humanity has ever developed, without question.

That being said, the belief that the scientific method can build up arbitrarily accurate models of any observable phenomena is without foundation, yet some behave as if it is obviously true.

Until we have something like a unified model of physics, there is no reason to believe that statement to be true.

(and in fact, the scientific method has led to results like Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, which makes it perhaps more likely for it to be false)

A lot depends on what part of the hiring process is slow. My general expectation is that the time between first phone call and final onsite interview will be 3 weeks at a minimum and 12 weeks max. After onsite, verbal notice should occur within a week although the actual offer may take much, much longer (annoying but expected in some organizations).

The red flag is when you are told one thing and then another thing happens. In my experience that only happens about 100% of the time.
Correct. It does interoperate with it though, and the built-in components are indeed in native code but called via the JS bundle. Of course, a lot of external libraries are just Views-within-Views and give up some of the nice performance benefit of the native code underneath, sadly...

That doesn't even make sense, how is blackmail involved?

You may not agree with a tax, but that's what voting is for. If it passes, you pay it or you remove yourself from the jurisdiction...that's not blackmail, it's how taxes work.
It’s a reference to the old apple campaigns around “made on a Mac” and “made by Macintosh” decades ago. I touch on it the last section of the post.
The reason they say that is, for the target market that they are aiming that message to, it can replace a laptop.

It’s well aimed marketing.
vue is similar to react+mobx.

This is pure propaganda. There are SO many plans that many different local organizations are offering.

Powerful companies who can communicate one single message backed by advertising/public appearances/media can make it appear that are no other "real" options. This is a deliberate political strategy.

The reality is that there are an enormous amount of "real" options. But political will is hard to muster when there are many competing ideas as to what should be done.

Without a doubt gentrification, homelessness, and housing/rental prices can all be addressed from many directions. I have my own ideas about what can be done by the city, state, and country. To say "there was no plan, period" is literal propaganda that exists to support the status quo.
Well, those excuses are garbage everywhere. :/ All the extra electricity burned around the world would easily pay for more highly skilled devs to write a native application (source: plucked from thin air ;) ).

It's a common myth that weightlifting only improves strength, not endurance. It is impossible to have strength and lack endurance. The myth comes from the unintuitive disconnect between muscular people and their actual weight - they clearly have to expend more energy to move larger, heavier body parts. So it may seem like their endurance is impaired but it isn't the case.

Tell me this power-squatting cyclist lacks endurance:

If I read the article correctly, I think they replaced their laptop, and kept their desktop workstation.

Could have been a LOT clearer about that, but if so, it's a reasonable point. In my own workflow I've found I barely use a laptop anymore, it's been replaced by my ipad pro.

However, I use a computer frequently. And that's where most of the work gets done.

There are some who are ipad only. Federico Viticci and Myke Hurley from relay.fm do. The writing/podcast niche seems well suited for the ipad.

Installing Antergos Linux on an Ideapad 720s dual booting with Windows 10
The biggest problem with the iPad is iOS developer attrition - so many promising apps stagnate due to invisibility and developers running out of funding. Steve Jobs wanted to avoid another Adobe ISV competitor to Apple and he succeeded. But he also starved the iPad of software that could take advantage of the fantastic hardware. Things may improve when iOS developers can sell apps that also run on macOS.

If Apple wants to keep iOS app development limited to small development shops and cheap apps, then they need to improve inter-app workfllow/composition, which is currently gated on a very small whitelist of functions. Only the audio community has successfully pulled off inter-app interop on iOS, thanks to Audiobus & friends. Would be nice to have similar multi-app pipelines for text, images & video.

The problem with* Gulag* is that (in Russian) it is quite badly written, unlike Shalamov's stories which real literature even before editors got to them. History-wise, there are better sources, too.
That's really not it at all. Have you heard the story "who knows what's good or bad"?

Something happens, and we judge it good and feel good about it. Then something else happens, and we judge it bad and feel bad about it. And so on. Our feelings are put on a roller coaster according to our judgements. But we don't have enough information to judge anything good or bad. It always remains to be seen. Deeply internalizing this results in equanimity.
Flot is also a good choice. It's old now and hasn't been updated in a long while but if I'm not mistaken, grafana still makes use of it.

That's not entirely accurate. They did figure out that Stalin's level of repression was unnecessary, or at least they lacked the conviction to carry it out. But in "The Gulag Archipelago" by Solzhenitsyn, he documents how much of the apparatus continued forward into Khrushchev's regime. He details the town of Novocherkassk, where workers went on strike in June of 1962. Tanks and troops were dispatched. The strikers were fired upon. The wounded were rounded up, and the families of the wounded and the dead were shipped off to Siberia. He talks about other incidents. He talks about how the religious were still treated the same as under Stalin. Life after (or even before) Stalin was not free from such abuses.
Of course... It's very important to have very accurate information so they know where to send the bills/lawyers.

> It's catastrophic. Companies should be allowed to either own the pipe or what flows through the pipe. Any attempts to own both need to be stopped and punished.

Not producing content doesn't magically make an ISP a neutral provider and I don't see how vertical integration (owning the pipe and some of what's going through it) gives ISPs more leverage than they already have.

For example, take an ISP that is just the pipe with no content production arm. That ISP could charge premiums to content providers to be put in a "fast lane" and then slow down the content of everyone else. This would be to the advantage of big players at the expense of small competitors, just like you say, and doesn't involve vertical integration in any way. AT&T doesn't need Time Warner to do this.

What's catastrophic is that we don't have net neutrality. There are plenty of good arguments against this merger, but preventing vertical integration doesn't get us any closer to net neutrality.
Ahh, okay. So, it's basically a tax avoidance idea. If my stock buyback costs 20% in taxes on overseas profits, or 10% interest in bonds, then I'll take the bonds.

But wait. Taxes are a one-time thing, right? You pay the 20% (or whatever it is) and you're done.

You're going to have to pay those bonds back sometime, right? Wouldn't you need to pay them off and have to pay that 20% tax rate?

Oh I bet not. I bet there's some tax avoidance trickery that means you pay less in taxes if it's paying off bonds, right?

Threads are good, shared state is good if hidden behind a proper protocol, just locks are evil. Windows and POSIX are to blame.

Nowadays nobody should use locks anyway, as there are much better, faster and safer variants for concurrency with native threads, based on actor capabilities and ownership, and avoid blocking IO like hell. No, not Rust. Rust did it wrong.

Those who do it right are so far Pony, Midori/Singularity, and parrot with native kernel threads. With simple green threads there are some more, but they are only usable for fast IO, not fast CPU tasks.

Isn't that somewhat the whole story of today's southern europe?

Cognitive dissonance is interesting. For example, tech folks generally love Japan and Hong Kong's railroads. But those systems work so well because of the exact sort of vertical integration techies get apoplectic about when it comes to the Internet: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/capital-projects-and-inf.... JR and MTR not only are private companies that own and operate the railroads, they own a ton of the land around the rail stations. They thus can capture value from both sides of a two-sided market--the customers going to a business near a rail station, and the business that benefits from having a rail station near it. That greatly increases incentive to invest in rail compared to a system where value can only be captured from the rider.

Interestingly, vertical integration also increases competition, as is the case in urban areas of Japan. If you can leverage your low-margin transit product to sell your high-margin real estate product, you have vastly more incentive to compete with other firms on the transit product.

Indeed, the vastly lower deployment costs enabled by 5G suggest an alternative vision of the future. We may end up with a system where you subscribe to "Google 5G" or "Facebook 5G" or even "Netflix 5G" service. It will be abhorrent to those who visualize a platonic model of infrastructure separated from content, but may in practice work a lot better than heavy government involvement in the infrastructure layer.
