In Ukraine, there is a big French supermarket chain called Ашан (auchan.ua), in which people can buy liquid cleaning products by the volume.
For example, if you need a litre for dishwashing cleaning soap, you can go and pull a lever and fill an appropriate size plastic bottle.
It's their own brand and it's very cheap.
I'm not 100% sure if you can bring and use any plastic bottle, or you have first get it from them.

They also have huge crates of pasta and other grains where you can simply shove how much you want into a plastic bag, weight it and pay at the till.

No need to wrap those items in boxes and more containers.

While Ukraine has many environmental problems (it's not easy or common to recycle, large % of uneducated population about these issues), it has some good ideas and policies like these.
Perhaps they were A/B testing the approaches?
As opposed to smoke a bong and explore the wild outdoors?

This is simply not true. Vue is not just rendering engine it does take care of lot of things. The fact that it is lightweight and modular (so for example it does not have router bundled but there is official one) does not make it worse. Vue is also its own ecostystem same as Angular or Ember. The ecosystem is in fact probably even bigger than any of them now.
I simply do not understand the attraction of Instagram. My brother posts photos on it, and the quality of the pictures is rubbish. They're small, with compression artifacts. The app itself doesn't even let you pinch to zoom without snapping back when you let go (fair enough given how low resolution the pictures are).

Obviously I'm looking at this wrong - it's clearly not an app for posting photos, because it sucks at that.

Instagram is a perfect business case on how to integrate an acquisition and make it better than it could have been on its own. It should be studied in business schools as to how to not fuck up an acquisition. So many companies buy things that die, and I thought this would happen to Instagram but it has only become more popular, it's quite an impressive feat.

I completely disagree with this sentiment. Everything in a UI that you can do with a mouse should be tolerant of disabilities that people who use a mouse might be going throug (tremors etc). A user shouldn't have to try to do something and become frustrated in order to discover that it is "not for people with poor motor skills". We should do better. What you describe as "well worthwhile" still strikes me as woefully incomplete and annoying. Every user could potentially have poor motor skills at some point due to temporary causes.

It's not the end of the world of course. I just wouldn't think of "I have used it before and it was just fine for me" as a good reason to not strive for a more universal approach to interface design.
Yes and no. The authority of the Federal Government is constrained by what the Constitution explicitly authorizes; specifically, Article 1, Section 8 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerated_powers_(United_Stat... -- lists the things over which the Federal Government has original jurisdiction. The 10th Amendment goes further by stating that all powers not specifically delegated to the federal government are the domain of the States and the People.

To this topic, one hypothetical could be: the DEA conducts a raid on pot growers in Colorado and the Colorado state police arrest the feds for attempting to enforce an invalid federal law which was passed outside of the bounds of the enumerated powers. Sounds crazy, right? There's a precedent for this. During the US Civil War, Federal Marshals who had apprehended a runaway slave (pursuant to the Fugitive Slave Act) were themselves arrested by local authorities in Wisconsin for kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. The principle in play sometimes goes by the name of "nullification" -- a great book on this topic can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TJAX0Q/

In practice, however, neither the States nor the Federal government have sought to have a decisive ruling on this question because it would either be the end of any semblance of State's Rights or sheer anarchy when countless laws and regulations are suddenly taken off the books -- one of which being the likely outcome from this going to the Supreme Court (not counting the more remote possibility of a new Civil War where the States might refuse to accept as impartial the ruling by a Federal Court on behalf of the Federal Government).

One of the nice features of the policy list is that you can put your server on it in testing mode. In testing mode, any failure in TLS negotiation is logged and reported, but the message is sent over the insecure communication. So it shouldn't cause any breakage.

Why do pictures depress you so much? Honestly, I think if that's the case, it says that you have some unresolved issues you probably should deal with. Part of what makes social media seem depressing is your attitude with it.

You get the 60% rate since you are paying the employer's taxes and your income taxes, right?

I guess if you paid yourself less (by effectively working less) that rate would come down a lot since both the employer's taxes and income taxes are rather progressive.
>Advertising is a very legitimate way of making money

Yes, just not a way to make something that improves our lives.

Or even if you manage to make something that improves our lives, advertising is an incentive to pervert it and hold it back (e.g. you create a social network so people from all over the world can meet, then ads make you cripple it, force feed BS to them, milk them with spam, exploit their private data, and so on...)

Your cognitive dissonance is because in higher strata of first world society, indirection is an extraordinarily popular get-out-of-jail-free card. Only a single level of indirection sufficiently enables all sorts of financial manipulation. See Wells Fargo as just a simple example.

Simple C-style pointer indirection is increasingly disallowed in lower strata as this example illustrates. The higher strata are going to handles-level and greater layers of indirection in the meantime.

Which highlights the problem as the Supreme Court should not factor what is "good for society" nor what is "good for the nation" neither of which has any relevance to what is constitutional or not.
One of the main reasons I can't buy the "The consumers shouldn't be so dumb" argument is that there's usually a concentrated push back every time the idea of teaching basic financial literacy in high school comes up. I could understand it if people were taught basic personal finance, but most people are not taught these things.

My argument was that even if you did have an “actual” copper line it would eventually be terminated at a device that speaks analog phone line on one end and spits out SIP on the other end.

This specific hanging-up behaviour was an artifact of older analog switches and I didn’t think they would emulate it in the software-based SIP switches but according to the comment above it’s still the case.

Instagram gets away from all scrutiny by looking like a toy. Like when you are hacking someone's wifi with a Nintendo 3DS while they are wondering the appeal of this cute device for children. Instagram is likely the most technologically sophisticated social network out there and has been for a while.

The UI merely escaped feature creep for most of the decade.
Instagram makes money. Companies pay them to purchase ads. Isn’t that obvious ?

Debunking the Myth: Cortisone Injections for Back Pain
> While I dislike most postmodern philosophy and a good chunk of Foucault's, the core of the article is based on the concept that if you can define how pieces of an industry are named and grouped, you will hold power over how that industry developes.

I'd say there's plenty about postmodern philosophy to dislike outside of this, but I also don't think that this take from Foucault is inherently postmodern. The concept of the "true name" in Abrahamic mysticism is humorously really closely related to Foucault's taxonomy - if you know the true name of a spirit or demon, you can control it in the same way that you can control the image of your business through taxonomy.

Photography has been a huge hobby for decades. Is the fact that it is so much more accessible now really mean that the entire basis is proving your experiences were amazing rather than experiencing them?

10 years ago, no one every would have accused someone who brings his DSLR onto a hike of "not experiencing" the hike. (Though you might have a point that it would have been pretty weird to have brought a camera to brunch just to get a great photo of your eggs benny)

Yeh I'm pretty lightweight on extensions, I use only a couple, and uBlock over Adblock. It's just that sites chew through memory over time, and I'm not going to diagnose each one. Firefox already has the feature built in, when you restart the browser, those tabs don't spin up until you access them. They just need to use that functionality on a timer.
No. It's like being a pureborn, never connected to the Matrix.
"Almost 50% plastic come directly from such consumer products sold by all FMCG companies. Such plastic material which is used as a wrapper (e.g. mineral bottles, wrappers of chocolates, biscuits, wafers, tobacco, etc.) is often useless and people tend to throw it right away."

I don't think this is going away until cities and states and government start doing something about this. Plastic bag banning is great, but it doesn't solve the entire equation. Plastic wrapping is just too convenient and preserves the lifetime of the product better than, say, paper. The transluscency of plastics also make it ideal for packaging food like meat, sushi, iced drinks, bread etc where being able to see the product is important. It also keeps in liquids nicely.

Someone needs to come up with an alternative to plastic that's biodegradable while still keeping plastic's properties that make it useful for packaging. I think that's going to be a huge industry. Landfills in my city are filling up and we're resorting to shipping some out to other cities. People like their plastic but yet complain when the city garbage rates go up every year.
Taking advantage of the asymmetry of offline compression
Strictly speaking, the initial part of your assumption is not wrong, but the later conclusion is.

array[x] and *(array+x) are indeed equivalent for any identifiers 'array' and 'x' (assuming one of those evaluates as a pointer value, and the other as an integer value; otherwise the code is incorrect). In fact, in this context an actual array is not subject to either unary-& or sizeof operators, so it evaluates to a pointer value, fulfilling the precondition.

This is why "array subscription" also directly works with pointers (i.e. "ptr[x]"), and from the equivalence above follows one of the common useless facts that you can swap the identifiers (i.e. "x[array]").

(This comment is probably confusing enough without saying that "(&array)[x]" is valid code too, but isn't the same thing as those before.)
Yeah, I always considered that quite strange, given the order of the query (and even though forward references are found almost everywhere in SQL, making it even more strange)

ORM-wise it's not a huge issue, I tend to move them outside the query definition to avoid the duplication. E.g.

comment_count = func.count(Comment.id).label('comment_count')
query = (session.query(User, comment_count)
.join(User.comments)
.group_by(User)
.having(comment_count > 10))

Kubernetes is a solution for 90% of the effort and services needed for distributed apps running and interacting with each other over a cluster of servers. Those accessory services aren't abstracted, I never used that word. They are instead provided out of the box by K8S, leading to fewer individual components to run, maintain and monitor yourself. You can switch out components at any level, from a single container running your favorite webserver, to a full service mesh, to your own custom controllers.

Containers are much smaller than VMs, all the way down to just a single binary for your application if you want. Definition files are smaller. Restarting or replacing a container is much faster.

Your comment amounts to a big "what if", but this isn't a complex topic. Focusing on what you actually need is what leads to success. Any competent technical leadership will plan ahead and care about low-level detail when necessary. But you definitely don't need to unnecessarily worry about it, and that's what Kubernetes helps with.

Of course you can skip K8S altogether and have your setup, but that is rarely needed because it can now be solved with a common industry framework instead of bespoke solutions or special PaaS provider APIs. None of this is revolutionary, and no different than any other cost/benefit analysis for build/buy of any other component.
they did copy them, it failed. it was called "facebook camera"

edit: they also had a snapchat clone called, "poke" that too failed. the only reason they got to snapchat was because instagram was so popular and they just went ahead and copied the most popular aspect of snapchat: stories.

A follower with a terminal illness wrote a heartfelt letter to a popular Instagram influencer that they followed and whose photos they enjoyed. When they passed away, the letter was sent on their behalf to the influencer.

When the influencer received the letter, they quickly skimmed through it, said “Cool” and tossed it in the trash with some other junk mail.

Then got into GNU Radio, so had to learn Python. Got the basics down on that and wrote a GNU radio based app, putting it on Github.
