Christ, Electron would be truly terrible for mobile apps.

All the excuses people have for its bloat ("we all have tons of RAM anyway!", "storage space is cheap!", etc) evaporate when you're running on an ARM processor with maybe 2GB of RAM and 32 to 64GB of onboard storage.
It sounds very interesting... I rarely go deeper that connected systems or application development myself. But would love to see some better underpinnings to a flexible UI/UX on top. I think there's lots of room for both.
Thanks! We know that the infrastructure we build sits in really important parts of our customers' businesses and do our best to avoid both breaking changes and, especially, surprise breaking changes.

(A related topic: we go to fairly substantial efforts to support outdated API versions while still letting us build new features. Amber Feng had a great presentation on it back in the day: https://www.heavybit.com/library/video/move-fast-dont-break-... )

If working on these sort of problems at scale sounds interesting or if you like the idea of working on a team which really sweats the downstream impact of engineering changes, we're hiring and always happy to chat.
because people who only know JS have no interest in CS.

I prefer NativeScript[0] & it's vue-specific extension NativesScript Vue[1] due to NativeScript's ability to work with more than one paradigm/framework. NativeScript enables any Javascript application to become a mobile app (along with ones built in Angular and Vue) and I think that's pretty great.

This is a requirement for PCI. So I'm sure all integrations will cease to work with older TLS.
Fully agreed. This is the meat of the article.
Higher property values (overall) doesn't necessarily mean more property taxes go into the coffer. Higher specific property values (relative to your neighbors) means you pay a larger slice of the pie. Though Seattle going up even faster than the rest of the market certainly helps conflate the two, the total tax burden is somewhat fixed in dollar amount (at the state or county level, I don't remember which), so if everybody's property values go up uniformly 10% each, everybody's taxes only go up by the actual tax revenue increase for that year (typically much lower than 10%). What really gets you is if your property value goes up faster than the average at the county/state level.
It upset most folks.

> Teresa Mosqueda, one of the two council members opposing the repeal, said there was no backup plan for dealing with the homeless situation.

There was no plan, period. The plan consisted of 1. Tax Amazon, 2. ..., 3. Get re-elected. When they realized 3 didn't follow from 1, they started grasping at straws.

I purchased a Surface Pro last week, which is my first Windows device in more than a decade. Couldn't have been happier.

Though I enjoy using macOS for software development and other tasks much more than Windows, I don't think I can say the same for iOS. For the same price and form factor you get a full operating system as opposed to the iOS walled garden (which I fully appreciate on my iPhone X).

Since the Surface Pro is actually a full computer with a Core i5 processor, it can run any application -- including Ubuntu over Microsoft Hyper V, Docker, Photoshop, and even Steam. Plus the keyboard cover has a trackpad.

Even if your numbers meant anything (they don't) what's your point? It's ok to discriminate against unhealthy people?
No, that's not a central problem. If it was, it would be covered in driver's ed and driver testing. It's not. Most accident avoidance is pure braking.

Absolutely. This sort of hypothetical-spinning kind of mirrors the way concerns about general AI "taking over" mask the problem of dumb AI making disturbingly biased decisions and putting us at the risk through the failures of fragile logic.

Autonomous vehicles promise all sorts of paradoxical effects, haven't been demonstrated to be more reliable than humans, etc. A bit of focus on the real near-future could benefit these speculators.
It's hilarious that you can't view this site on native browsers. How ironic!
What is it about native ui technology that you think is better than web tech? In my experience, the singular advantage of native tech is performance. Am I missing something?
Could have avoided that by just asking for permission first.
Yeah, that's what I said: if you want JIT and want to be on the App Store, you need to use WebKit/JavaScriptCore.

Well, I hoped for an actual review. What I got was "The iPad Pro is always ready to go ... which is, like, totally amazing! Yeaas!" The most pro points he makes are based on features which are actually a normality. The whole thing is emotionally laden and he sounds like a typical fanboy.

After reading this dripping wet review, I am now absolutely convinced that an iPad will never ever replace a computer. Because it is not a computer, but rather a consumer device, like a television set. People who think that an iPad replaced their actual computer laptop didn't know and still don't know at all what their laptop actually can do: being programmable.
I'm not sure that I entirely agree... I've known several cross-training coaches/trainers that are very good at following up with their clients and getting them to come in. Far beyond what a typical gym will do. It does cost a bit more than the likes of LA Fitness, but in some cases you get what you pay for and others, you just pay more. It's hard to distinguish.

I do know that my eating habits have had a lot more effect, and even following a trainer's advice doesn't always work as well as some experimentation and tweaking on one's own.

I recently bought a house with a pool... I try to spend an hour a few times a week in there. The motivation is harder at times than others (I'm in Phoenix and it's just not anything resembling pleasant until after sunset).

As far as eating goes, when I need an energy boost in the morning (a couple times a month) I will do a Bulletproof Coffee (BPC) with a little flavored stevia (vanilla/caramel). I get the majority of my calories in a huge lunch (mostly paleo/keto minded). And if I haven't hit my macro target for the day, will have a smaller snack/meal 4-5 hours later. No snacking, and no sweet drinks between meals. As long as I don't stray too often (office bagels, muffins, doughnuts etc make it super hard), it's been incredibly effective. Lost about 60# last year.
This is a tax on the company. This is not a direct tax on workers. A flat tax on people I agree is bad policy. This is not that. It isn't even a flat tax on companies as requires the company to have a large minimum amount of revenue.

Increased tax on large profitable companies in another form would also be fine.

Counterpoint: I tried using an iPad and an external keyboard for web (Django) development. It sucked.

The lack of mouse for text selection is a huge problem, and constantly switching between Safari and your code editor (I used Vim in a remote terminal) is a pain as well.
Love my iPad Pro. Only wish it had an actual usable IDE for Django web development, including a local Postgres database & H2O web server with uWSGI. If it had that then I could get rid of my MacBook Pro.

BTW get the Logitech keyboard. It's backlit and you can adjust the angle of view. It's great but the only problem is that's its really thick.

Seriously, it's just missing the pro apps. Where are they?
Seattle just killed the 'Amazon tax' it passed four weeks ago
> Because people rely on reviews and ratings to buy stuff?

There are people who try to make a living on YouTube. Demonetization hurt them and they have a ready-made audience to vent to.

But legitimate reviewers won't really care if Amazon implements stricter checks, because their livelihood doesn't rely on Amazon reviews. People won't have much sympathy for the people pushing crappy products using sketchy reviews who might get hurt, and they don't really have a high-profile forum to complain.

If Amazon wants to implement a stricter review check you can rest assured that it will not be like YouTube demonitization all over again.

Lol... this is the CRO response of basically saying, "oh yeah? Well we're cool and you're not!" Unlike those rich boring financial nerd companies who turn profit, we increase the feeling of cool intangible things.
How are automaton owning plutocrats supposed to get rich if they don't sell their robot made wares to the plebs? It's silly to think that automation makes the poor poorer. It makes them richer. Only logical conclusion is that stuff will be cheap enough that real wages go up even if nominal ones dont.Look at any rich country, it's got an order of magnitude more automation than any poorer country and yet it's not the country with less automation that is better off. Why do barbers in rich countries earn more than those in poorer countries for essentially the exact skills? Baumol's disease anyone? Luddites need to think through this harder.

PS: if the evil robot owners produce stuff and keep it for themselves without selling them, the rest of the world still has needs that are unmet and we end up in exactly the world we have today
Or most people don’t require more than what an iPad can provide. It’s a mass market device and that’s fine. As you say, one would already know if they need a laptop over an iPad.
How to become a Remote Worker
I went on vacation recently and decided to just take an iPad and my camera. I got one of the new regular iPads and I had a Lightning -to-SD dongle. When I finished a day of shooting I plugged everything in and had the same issues Paul did. I couldn't even view the photos because they had to be imported to Photos on the iPad and I definitely didn't have space to do that.

I'm frustrated at how hard it is to do something simple like take pictures off my Canon 6D and make them go straight to the cloud. We live in adapter and dongle hell.

You used 'magically' twice, so the definition you just gave is incomplete. The second use was "GC languages are magically slow."

Yes, the C language took advantage of byte addressing on the PDP-11, and most computers since then support byte addressing because of C.

That's hardly the same as "C maps closely to a PDP-11", which is the claim you made that I am arguing is a myth.

The link I gave to http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.138... describes "THE MACHINE MODEL OF UNIX". Nothing about that model is closely tied to the PDP-11 hardware, that I can tell.

C-with-intrinsics does a decent job of matching the machine's instruction set, with a fallback to be able to support machines which don't support specific instructions.

FWIW, no programming language, not even assembly, is able to handle "cache hiearchies, cache lines, memory prefetching, out-of-order execution, etc".

The messaging on the part of the folks in favor of the Employee Hours Tax (EHT) was somewhere between terrible and nonexistent. The messaging of the anti-EHT folks was simple and persuasive.

I had fully expected that the EHT would be repealed by ballot initiative come November, but didn't expect that the city council would just sort of roll over and repeal it.

I don't know for certain, but I'd venture to guess half of Adobe's users are on Macs, and that an ARM based architecture won't work well for creative works (heavy image manipulation, video editing and encoding). And that could lead to a lot of Mac creative types looking for somewhere to go.

It could be an opportunity for Adobe, if they played their cards right.
This is ironic, given that a lot of people advocating for vue on the web talk about how it's better because it doesn't involve all that complicated transpilation.
Exactly the point why I've been asking myself: why oh why does Apple say "That huge thing, like, totally replaces the laptop!" Apple clearly has some outlandish understanding of what a computer is, no surprise. But let's stay honest, and don't put up sales pitches based on flat out lies.
1. Tax Amazon, great in its own right regardless of the reason.
2. How do you provide for people without money?
3. Deserve your re-election by serving the poor and vulnerable at the expense of mind-blowing historically unprecedented wealth.

Well, that was the attempt here.
We can't have the conversation about JWT in earnest until we understand the problem domain.

That you're taking it from there is really interesting. Are you finding a lot of JWT use when there's also some S2S auth setup?
Lots of times the people on HN advocating for native ui toolkits just have fond memories of a form builder on Windows 95 when you didn't have to worry about all these different screen sizes and stuff.
If you'd like to try out Doom now, there is an OpenGL port called Doomsday[0] which is very complete and loyal to the original, while smoothing out/modernizing things enough to make it genuinely fun for modern players. For instance, you can look in all directions with 'mouse look' and jump and run faster while pressing shift, and there are dynamic spot lights attached to certain things (e.g. fireballs), even though the original sprites are still the primary visual. It also supports Hexen and Heretic and adds a more modern multiplayer interface. (Also allows swapping alternate game assets, so some people have done mods with 3d models.)

> I can only assume that the most widely-used flow in SAML, the dominant SSO protocol on the Internet, is better documented than the ad-hoc custom version of SAML you reimplemented with JWT. :)

JWT has much better documentation than anything I was able to find on SAML, but this may be due to my lack of experience with the domain. I had trouble even finding clear documentation on what the basic structure of a SAML assertion should be. As a developer with limited knowledge of the domain, when picking a tool to solve my problem I default to the simpler tool with more accessible documentation.

The documentation for utilizing our JWT implementation is simpler and more straightforward than what Salesforce provides for it's similar flow implemented with SAML.

> the problems I have with SAML are all shared by JWE/JWT!

Not a perfect plan, maybe not even a particularly good one, but there absolutely were plans and budgets for how the money could have been used even before it was originally approved.
It's very difficult to stay private and use a mobile phone.

Your network provider knows your DNS lookups and your location. Even with a burner this may be enough information to identify you and track what you're doing.

If you're just worried that the NSA (or someone else) is storing all your messages then WhatsApp or Telegram would be fine. However if you're a person of interest then both WhatsApp and Telegram could give away your network. i.e. not what you say but who you chat with.
But which mediapad? I mean there are several results on Amazon.. M3, M3 Lite, M5, T2, T3 and several others... at even just the search results on Amazon glance, it's hard to tell what's what, what the MSRP is, what the expected price should be, what's current, what's old. How long will updates be supported.

I really wish that LineageOS gave some better guidance, I'd love a good community supported device, or clear(er) modeling.

It's funny, but I know enough about PCs to compare specs, but not nearly enough about tablets, ARM etc. I get what a lot of people looking at computers feel like.

--- edit:

Looks like the M5 is the current hotness, not sure about T3 etc. Just ordered one, thanks for the reference. It's just hard to know. Also, looks like there should be a LineageOS port, if it's still 8.0 and not 8.1 yet.

Because you should not use this unmaintained original source, but the various mods around. There are many, but different for each game.

When I did my first mods 1995 there was no source code under GPL just reverse engineered format descriptions, but I was able write writers in Lisp to write maps in acad. This was fun.
I've read the original three volume version, which I got from a library. I own the abridged. You do miss a lot, but you can still get a lot out of the single-volume version.

I think there's a confusion between "sleep", where you're in bed but still awake, and sleep as in actually being asleep. This is specifically called out in the article where it says "if you’re in bed for eight hours, a healthy sleeper might actually sleep for only about 7.2 hours."
What you're saying is theoretically possible. I just think it's to socialist for America.

I actually consider gig economy as a possible replacement for UBI and jobs, but not in this centralised form (Uber, etc). Instead, communities or social networks of people without corporate jobs could become self reliant by working for each other, to solve the community needs on the whole. When corporations take our jobs we still have our needs and lots of free time - and our needs create jobs or gigs. We can still work to support ourselves.

Another step to enable self reliance would be the popularisation of new technologies such as open source software, 3d printing, solar power, cheap medical sensors, AI and DIY robotics (including agro-bots). Also, replacing banks with lending co-ops.

A small community on the size of a village or town could provide construction, schooling, medical services, servicing tools and machines and of course, agriculture - based on an internal marketplace of gigs or jobs. On the total the community could become more and more independent from the outside. Later on, when automation reaches maturity, the self supporting community could solve most of its needs without much human work and still be independent from the state (UBI) and large-corporation jobs.

Because companies are greedy and the state is corrupt, we need to take power back into our hands to prepare for the future.

Why do you find it harder to maintain React apps after 6 months?
Both situations happened. Rich families had slave and non-slave educators who would teach to the family children and to the slave children. A lot of slaves in Antiquity were given the occupation of shopkeepers, clerks or even lawyers, so they needed to be educated.

Also the situation of slaves was quite fluid: you could be a slave by birth, but you could have been captured in war and conquest or you could have simply failed to pay your debts. Skilled slaves often had the possibility to earn some money and buy back their freedom.

On the other hand, there were also unskilled slaves, often worked to death in mines or fields.

Our system is such a disaster, even "preventative care" can be a wolf in sheep's clothing. There's basically nothing to disincentivize doctors or pharma from aggressively selling drugs and procedures that give no benefit or even cause harm.
