What would lead you to believe that Walmart would have a clue on UX, let alone provide anything more than bland content given their approach on music, books and magazines?
Oddly enough, all of this locking down by google has me checking if a phone can be rooted and bootloader unlocked before I buy...then I have to make sure the newer phones arent shipped updated as then I can no longer root. If I can't root then I can't remove bloatware crap. If I can't have adblock and lineageOS I'm simply not interested. No note 8 for me, probably not 9 either, which is a shame, as I would love to give them my money. Oh and the best part of ROMs? You can make them as Google free as you want, I quite literally only use their play store. So Google claiming necessary integration is BS pure and simple.
True, right here! I'm temporarily disabled after Rt shoulder surgery and am looking for a left-handed-only keyboard solution (typing very slowly w/LH on the laptop kbd now).

I found a great mouse solution, a Logitech trackball mouse that sits in my RH sling [1] -- so good I expect to switch to it after recovery. But the kbd...

Any time I start an ssh server for myself on a publicly accessible IP, hackers account for roughly 100% of login attempts. The legit logins are in the noise, and dictionary attacks on username and password fill the logs. With decent passwords, it's not much concern, but nowadays, I disable password logins completely.
That makes sense, but you could also just tag that step and run it with the tag if you are testing it.
It's time to stop with the dismissals in this thread.

> having a 50 billion dollar platform developed based on his whitepaper is noteworthy on its own

Certainly noteworthy is an understatement, it is an epic accomplishment, however it doesn't really reflect on his importance as a computer scientist, especially if we consider prior art (i.e. bitcoin). I am struggling to think of a metric that would qualify Buterin as anywhere near one of the most important computer scientist alive today. When I think "most important computer scientists alive today" I think of people like (in no particular order):

Brian Kernighan, Ken Thompson, Donald Knuth, Bjarne Stroustrup, Larry Wall, Tim Berners-Lee, James Gosling Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bill Joy, Robe Pike Larry & Sergey, Gudio, Matz, and many many more. The pioneering work of these computer scientists has had ripple effects throughout the world of computing and the economy in general. Ethereum, on the other hand, while technically sophisticated, has had near zero impact outside of the very narrow blockchain niche.

> For Tyler, he frequently ranks high on lists of influential economists among peers (see his wikipedia article) and I personally find his writing compelling, insofar as I can judge it as a non-economist.

Tyler does seem to be a more important individual within his field, but I am not seeing any signs that would indicate he is among the most important economists.
I dunno man. I'm already quite aware of how insignificant I am on a cosmic scale. So it would be interesting to gain a proper sense of scale of the ridiculous vastness of space.
I believe that this does not really address what "essential" means in this argument, and I find you're both arguing the same point but semantically disagreeing.

The idea of a Web Browser being "essential" to an OS is to mean that the OS itself would not be complete without this specific browser, which is in fact not true. Whatever combination of OS + browser you elect to use, or of you eschew the common OS parts in favor of it being entirely browser based is your choice.

That is the contention when Google, and also when Microsoft, try to claim that their respective browsers are essential to their OSes. (Before anyone tries to call me out, yes, Apple is just as silly with iOS, but at least they attempt to have some very fragile ground to stand on regarding performance)

So the argument isn't that a web browser isn't essential to modern day computing, it's that the OS itself does not need a built in one to be complete, or any specific browser to realize its goal of being an OS.
The article is a beast but there is a lot of good information in there. I find that I try to do as much as possible from the keys when I'm doing programming related tasks. An IDE like vscode is a good mix of UI and CLI for me.

That being said, I've been excited in the past seeing a new take on IDE's with things like LightTable (I'm not positive that's the name...) which have pushed the needle even further on the UI/CLI balance.

>"Zuma" satellite is the third payload sitting on a Falcon 9 that has been lost in four years. By way of comparison, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX's sole competitor in the military launch business, hasn't lost a single payload in 12 years and 124 missions.

>two recent government reports raise questions bearing upon the reliability of SpaceX products and processes. The first is an evaluation of quality controls among launch-vehicle suppliers to the military space program. That report, prepared by the defense department's Inspector General and dated December 20, found 181 deviations from quality standards at contractor sites. Over a third were "major nonconformities," meaning deviations that might contribute to a failure in quality controls.

Yes, blimps would be fairly eco friendly.

Though they do have other drawbacks, namely that the only good carrier gas is hydrogen and that has... a rather explosive nature. Helium is only half as good.

The carrier capacity of a blimp is kinda abysmal.
Yes, you can. Both gmail & chrome have working disable buttons. At least they do on a Pixel 2.

This isn't data science. The output of a playbook is dependent on a huge amount of external dependencies and state, and the execution can conditionally depend on that. Maybe programmers should use notebooks more (and I have no opinion on that) but this isn't a situation where they would confer much benefit.
This article reflects a view that "perfectionism" is the cause of anxiety, depression, and social insecurity. It seems more likely that self-destructive perfectionism (since positive perfectionism is framed here as well) is a result of anxiety and social insecurity, not the other way around.
> In order for device manufacturers to get the Play Store on their phone, they have to give in to Google's demands to add the Google search box on the home screen of the phones.

What's wrong with this? The Play Store is subsidized by search revenue, it makes sense to tie them together.
Unfortunately it seems like the EU is arguing that free software (with conditions) is illegal. And yet, in the US, we see defacto monopolies in ISPs double dipping on consumers and businesses all day long.

The fact that major economies are taking diametrically opposed viewpoints is going to continue to cause chaos for the foreseeable future...
In ANSI CL, the macro related to formatting is called formatter; format is just a function.

The format function can take a function as an argument in place of the format string.

The formatter macro can compile a format string into such a function.

(format nil (formatter "(~a-~a)") x y)

formatter spits out a lambda that is passed to format; format then passes it the stream, and the remaining arguments.
This comment does not deserve to be downvoted so far. SpaceX's policy is absolutely to move fast and iterate constantly instead of relying on hardware 'legacy' and keeping designs static. This is a stark break from the way traditional space companies do things, and both sides have recognized that it has caused some friction with NASA as it adjusts to SpaceX's way of doing things.

Dan Rasky's (excellent) oral history videos[0] of his time as NASA's liaison to SpaceX for technology transfer under the COTS program touches on this, as does SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell's oral history.[1]

Blue Origin's motto, on the other hand, is Gradatim Ferociter: Step by Step, Ferociously. They are known for moving slowly and surely.

Simply hitting "disable" warns you that it will uninstall updates & delete user data.

It's literally a single button press to get back 100% of the space possible, and it's the button called "disable" right in front at the top of the app's info section.
Bottom line, this data comes from a company whose value proposition is that they sit between your company's servers and your clients and filters bad requests for you.

Yeah, the whole WP7 - WP 8 - WP 8.1 - WP 10 transition was pretty bad managed.

They should just have migrated Siverligth and XNA, with addition of new C++ APIs, instead of rebooting everything a couple of times.

However I bet that the platform suffered from Sinofsky effect and the usual DevTools/WinDev issues as well.

Still I loved my WP and even with the downfall on the horizon ended up getting a 650 that I still use.

By the time they closed shop on WP, the EU market was reaching about 10%.

Your last two symptoms definitely resonate with me, with the addition of loss of self control, which I definitely notice while eating.

The first symptom (more prone to stress) seems to have a tipping point with me. If I get between 4-8 hours it is certainly true, but below that I feel considerably less stress, more creativity, and an increase in humor. I'm not sure why.

I don't think there has ever been a macbook pro that I can safely call a mobile workstation: that is to run for long periods of time with no thermal throttling and no burning chassis. Every time I see apple further thinning the chassis I shrug because no matter how much more efficient intel can make their cpus at idle or how fast the system races to idle sustained loads remain the same( 35 watts) and apple taking more and more of the tiny headroom available.

A single source of abuse can easily tilt login statistics.

In a recent compromise that I assisted on, the attacker tried 9,000 different credentials before landing on something that worked. This is on a relatively small site that has maybe 100 legitimate logins per day. On larger, more attractive sites, the ratio would only increase as you'd have multiple concurrent attackers trying everything in their combos lists.

We've since built out a small pile of software to detect and prevent this and similar kinds of abuse. It's not yet SOP for small ecommerce sites, but it should be.

...or just use Shopify and let them deal with it.

> If the public service of justice is slow and expensive, we need to fix the public service,

The public service (small claims court) was present and used. He just didn't get the result he wanted. It's not like the "public service of justice" was evaded. He got a hearing. The judge (a real judge!) said the arbitration clause was enforceable.

So he lost. In court. Having exercised his constitutional right to petition his government for redress of grievances.

I mean, look: I get that arbitration clauses can be unfair. But that's not an indictment of arbitration, it's an indictment of unfair contracts. For every case like this that makes your blood boil there's one that throws out an arbitration clause that wasn't appropriate.

The system works, basically. It just doesn't get this guy his $4500 back because he made a stupid bet on Kickstarter.
You seem to have implied sleeping long offers productivity. Might it be the case others are equally productive at the recommended 8 hours? Might it be the case that you need two hours extra sleep per night to get where everyone else is cognitively with eight hours sleep? Because if that is the case then you are losing time, productive time, and may in fact be losing some of your life, depending on how one views it. You may be sleeping away 8.33% of your life needlessly. If that isn't worth it to you to save then happy dreaming to you.
Great point! I hope people working on Indian government websites are also reading this. Most of them are far from "user-friendly". Things have improved a lot in recent years(based on my experience on the new IRCTC website and the Aadhar website). But earlier, almost all of them were just "horrible". Some still are, for example: https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home. I hope user experience is taken seriously by developers and the government. Unlike Facebook, these sites do more than just provide some service.
Messed up UI and non-compatibility can cause ridiculous delays in getting government work done.
Thank you! We have a common AST format we use as the representation of every language we support. You add new languages to Optic by writing a mapper from their AST to ours. It should work with pretty much any context-free AST. Here's what that looks like for JS https://github.com/opticdev/es7-parser/blob/master/src/main/...

We can't translate code between languages but we do the next best thing by moving the meaning of that code around. ie backend is Flask and frontend is JS. We can generate JS code that connects to the Flask API automatically.

Graal is pretty cool, and I'm happy to see a big org backing a polygot tool. I'm most interested in Truffle and looking into ways it can make Optic better. Have any ideas?

Thanks for catching the 404! I'll look into it ASAP
> People do not speak at 230 wpm. Ever. It does not happen.

Yes they do. 230 wpm is close to the upper limit for natural speech, but bursts of speech at that rate are quite common if the speaker is in a heightened emotional state or they are trying to convey a lot of information quickly.

Research into subtitling (closed captioning) by the BBC and OFCOM found that live programmes normally have bursts of speech at over 200 wpm. The BBC article below includes a sample clip of a presenter reading a news report at 230 wpm; while it sounds rushed and the presenter occasionally stumbles over a word, it does not sound completely unnatural.

He publishes it in a podcast format as well without the background music, which I am very thankful for.
That example corresponds to $49k monthly, which, among "Silicon Valley" tech companies is, apparently, not a huge amount.

To be fair, the machines you specify are pretty tiny and would easily fit into a half-U enclosure. Even assuming only 36U usable (after network, power, etc) per rack, those thousand would fit in 14 racks, a very small fraction of a whole datacenter.

Err, no, they controlled only the people who chose to use their apps or play store.
That's still open, you can do whatever you want, it's just if you want their stuff, you play by their rules.
Exactly. Google isn't blocking other browsers, so the analogy is flawed. Apple is forcing iTunes to be pre-installed, so they are using their dominance on the iPhone to push many other services.

The solution is what ROMs do since cyanogen was taken to task by google for bundling google apps with his ROMs. They let you download the google apps you want, or none. If they allowed clean installs for stock google images and the customer could choose which Google services/apps to install factory resets wouldn't be an issue.

I’m by no means a devops expert and while I have used Jenkins before, the only times I’ve had to design a CI/CD system from scratch I used either Microsoft’s hosted version of TFS (with git) -VSTS or AWS’s Code Pipeline.

With AWS Codepipeline, you can also specify a custom Docker image with your build environment and all of the tools you need - it’s in fact required if you want to build on Windows with the .Net framework (not .Net Core) and it’s also orchestrated with yml files.

I much prefer that approach to Jenkins.
How Software Development Works
That particular argument doesn't make a case of React or Vue's approach being particularly better than the other.

In the author's conclusion he states, "JSX isn’t revolutionary. It’s evolutionary. Like most forms of evolution, it’s a clear improvement."

I will concede the author's point that React & JSX are better than the jQuery spaghetti that came before and is therefore an improvement. As the comparison here is to that of evolution which is superior the shark or the tiger? With evolution many things will evolve out of those things that came before and the strong will survive. Vue and React are both evolutions of what came before; time will tell which, if either, survives.
Okay how does that negate the other payload losses that SpaceX has had, with only half the number of launches as its competitor? SpaceX has 61 launches according to this: http://www.spacex.com/missions

You've totally missed the point.

Haha, and then you edited your comment to attack the source. Honestly the person could have been North Korea's super extra special space dictator and it wouldn't change the reality that SpaceX has a higher incident rate than comparable companies. Which is what OP basically asked.
Wasn't ABC's focus mainly academic maths? That explains how Python gained an edge in data science but not why it replaced Perl 5.
