Not sure what you mean... PowerShell Console is one of the most modern and advanced consoles there is and it's from Microsoft (compared to old non object oriented and pipelined stuff like cmd here in the article) - but it's still good to see that they haven't forgotten about the good old cmd.exe :)
> Insider's release only? Wow, that sounds like really advanced stuff for something totally basic!

This has nothing to do with how large or small the feature or change is. A feature, once ready to be publicly tested, will get in the pipeline to first get into the insider releases and eventually show up in a normal build. In what kind of release such a change is is purely based on how old the change is, I guess. But of course, don't let that detract you from snarking.
The 5,000% price hike that made Martin Shkreli infamous is no longer paying off
It is not about free. It is about being more expensive than before. We live in the economy, where small companies operate at such a thin margin (even if they're profitable), that such an increase in cost often kills any hope for profitability, especially with the economies of scale. Would you prefer to fire one developer from the team, or stop using Google Maps?

I am not saying that mapping should be free, but such price bumps should be communicated better to allow paying customers prepare for changes and alternative scenarios.

And again, just another reminder, that whenever choosing a provider for anything related to your core business - think of an exit plan!
Almost any console is better than the Windows console. I use iTerm2 on OSX now, what an awesome UX. Maybe it's a good idea that you guys first take a look at what you are actually trying to reinvent.
What I'm working on is only tangentially related to that Fedora bug. Essentially, what the user is seeing in the GnuTLS debug log will supposedly be checked by NSM. I wasn't even aware of that bug report before I emailed emacs-devel. I'm glad I didn't tho, as that'll only add to the confusion.

Emacs's use of GnuTLS already delegates something to the OS, namely getting the system's root CA certs. As for the rest, I lobbied leaving GnuTLS defaults alone instead of intentionally lowering it to accept 256 bit DHE primes only to be warned by NSM later. Also, the default cipher suite other than DHE prime bits is already left alone OTTB.

But.... Emacs being all about freedom and infinitely hackable, the philosophy (philosophers?) demand that we let users to be able to configure the lower bound of acceptable TLS security in 2 different places, because someone somewhere requested it at one time, therefore his or her need trumps everyone else's default security or requests to have a consistent UI for TLS configuration. This is the context behind that fixation quote Lars wrote. Of course, I disagree strongly. The good news is, I've already returned all GnuTLS knobs to their defaults in my branch, and Lars has fixed the docs so people know they probably shouldn't touch those GnuTLS settings unless they want to bypass NSM completely, say running a elisp script for example.

I'm not going to respond to the rest of your points, they require a fair bit of context to understand why I think they are problems. I'll probably explain it in a blog some time this weekend.

> So, yes, comparing things to gigantic trees can make things tough. But I thought that was the beauty of boosting and building up smaller trees. Most of them are usually more interpretable than you might expect.

Regarding your last paragraph, I found this paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.07676.pdf worth reading. Excerpt from the abstract: "We conclude that boosting should be used like random forests: with large decision trees and without direct regularization or early stopping."
I agree: I watched the first 30 seconds of the video and didn't really understand what I was seeing, so I jumped to later points of the video, then I read a bit the landing page and I didn't understand what a pod is, so I jumped to the About page. At this point I was able to understand what you want to solve, but I still didn't get "how", i.e. I still don't really get what the tool is doing.

I'm sure it's great :) But somehow after 1-2 minutes I gave up trying to understand. Other projects often manage to give me a more precise idea in 1-2 minutes. The issue might be on my side though.

That's strange. I just checked Maps.me on Android, and if you open the hamburger menu there's an "add a place to the map" option.
I tend to go by the following rules:

Use const by default. If I need let, see if I can refactor to using const.

I've found that actually I can go far without using let, improving my code along the way.

I see a pattern from colleagues. They initialise a variable using let and then branch to figure out what should go inside it. That can be replaced by a pure function.

For loops tend to be the next thing. In that case, they can be replaced by higher order functions/methods without detriment to clarity (usually an improvement).

Perhaps the move towards iterators, with async support, will make it more common and legitimate. I haven't yet used those in a codebase but perhaps let in that instance leads to clearer code.
An improvement would be a slight reorder of clause's to improve intellisense ala linq though.
Apologies for bluntness, but you clearly have no idea of what you are talking about.

The false dichotomy between "self-induced" and "non-self-inflicted [sic]" is something that your "shrink" would have dismissed in the first minutes of honest conversation, before turning to your list of lifestyle adjustments and pointing out that there is a wide range of responses to them.

For the outside it still feels like unix is seen as a necessary evil.

It will be used extensively, devs are welcome and MS platform need to be compatible at the lowest level. But at every term ther is this tingling feeling of “you know we would have preferes if everyone was on windows and coded on VisualCode for .Net”

I think MS changed a lot in the last decades, but it still doesn’t feel like the best place to work in for people who fundamentally don’t care about windows ecosystem. Is this undue prejudice nowadays ?

I don't write sql for a living, and the little I do in my free time is pretty miserable.

I still think this is a really dumb idea.

SQL, as hard as it can be to do stuff with SQL, at least you can use google for getting help. A obscure, single-database-specific with a completely un-googleable name is going to be a complete clusterfuck to try to do anything with it.

The name alone will make trying to get help with the language a disaster. The fact that it will have such limited market penetration (it only works on one specific time series database) don't make the unsearchable name any better.

If the author would come out and just admit they want to spend time intellectually masturbating over query language design (I think about inventing a "better" language in my free time too!), I'd have a lot more respect for the project.

Society should definitely have a debate about working less. Right now we are very productively warming up the planet 40 hours a week. Just working less is a big part of the solution.

As I was writing this comment I opened [0]. Fascinating read.

"The front runners for lowest average weekly work hours are the Netherlands with 27 hours,..."

"The New Economics Foundation has recommended moving to a 21-hour standard work week to address problems with unemployment, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, overworking, family care, and the general lack of free time."

Let's get away from the notion that 40 hours is the norm.

> What does this mean? How did Apple Maps use it?

It's not true. Ish. On openstreetmap.org there's servers that render the map data into the images you see. That's run by volunteers, on mostly donated hardware and hosting. There is no SLAs. If you run your big commericial app against that, and cause the load to go through the roof, the volunteer sysadmins will be sad, and will block your app. It's not commerical vs non-commerical. Big non-commerical apps do get blocked for misusing it too.

You can download the raw data from ( https://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ) and run your own tileserver and use that commerically.

You can use OSM for commerical sites. You cannot use the volunteer hardware on openstreetmap.org for big usage.
Seriously, build your own solution based on OpenStreetMap. It's a core project we should all support as we can all benefit from it. Google's model is to build a huge collection of data that is otherwise freely available, and then sell access to it. You can just take OSM data, put them on your own server and embed freely on your website, provided that you credit the project: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#3a._I_would_li...

> This isn't Iraq WMDs 2.0 where an administration pressured career civil servants until they found one who was partisan enough to back them up. This is an international counterintelligence operation stretching the Five Eyes, Dutch AIVD, and half a dozen other countries.

I think this is a very kind way of describing the Iraq fiasco. The US intelligence agencies claimed there were WMDs, the UK intelligence services produced the Dodgy Dossier[1], and don't get me started about what the Israeli intelligence claimed (I was stupid enough to believe them and prepare the bomb shelter for a chemical attack).

The one thing I learned is that claims by intelligence agencies or anonymous sources in those agencies are meaningless until hard evidence is provided.

Holy shit. The language name alone is a really, really stupid idea.

Protip: If you're inventing a new esoteric programming language (and until you have other people implementing non-trivial projects in/using your language, it is an esoteric programming language), google the fucking name first.

If googling your intended <thing's> name results in more then 1000 hits, CHANGE YOUR <thing's> FUCKING NAME.

If you don't trying to find any resources about the <thing> on the internet will be a huge pain in the ass. Name your project something unique.

Googling "flux" results in "About 197,000,000 results". If you just make it a little more specific as "fluxql", you get ~142 results.

People looking for language resources will actually find the shit they're looking for, and the name actually tells you something about what it does, which is nice.
It's probably a more accurate term for that whole wave of muso-cultural development.
“Employees designed a number of innovations and initiatives to work in a more productive and efficient manner, from automating manual processes to reducing or eliminating non-work-related internet usage,”
It absolutely does. In modern companies many employees spend at least an hour a day (and in many cases 2-3 hours for less motivated employees) dicking about on social media, reading the news etc. If the change in working conditions comes with a reduction of this kind of messing around and more work focus, I could see it easily having a profound impact on productivity.
A user cannot downvote a reply. I also did not downvote you, but can understand you got downvoted because of your snarky reply. You are commenting on other people's work. If a feature is in the insider's release then it will be in a normal release in a few months.

So the comment is a "if you want to try it right now" kind of reply.

Also note that "why do I get downvoted" edits itself attracts more downvotes.

Yes, plenty of people do that. Be careful "OpenStreetMap API" is only for editing. There is other software in the OSM ecosystem which has it's own API (e.g. graphhopper has an API for routing). But sometimes people get confused and try to use the "OSM [editing] API" for all sorts of things.
I remember having to spend much more time on the existing search engines trying to find what I was looking for, even though there were much less sites.
Since Google, sifting through all the data has become easier, although I worry about how it's also become influenced by our search history and navigational habits.
This in turn, lands up limiting what we are actually exposed to and might reduce the probability of us discovery new things outside of our comfort zone.
Do we go for something like DuckDuckGo, that isn't influenced by our history, or do we use google to present us with what we want?
I would never trust Google as a business partner based on only my personal experiences. Here is a list of problems I had with Google and its services;

- Firebase suddenly changed its pricing, claiming that they were calculating prices incorrectly. A tiny multiplayer game that I made for kids were not fitting the free tier anymore, and my account was locked until I make payment. A sudden e-mail at 6am in the morning was enough to take an app down. Customer service? It doesn’t exist. I lost the data and moved away. The stress didn’t worth it.

- Kozmos (getkozmos.com) extension was taken down although it was a simple, open source bookmarking extension (github.com/kozmos) with good description, many HQ screenshots and also a video. I noticed it when users began reporting they couldn’t find the extension. They didn’t even dare to reach me out after taking it down. I sent so many e-mails, users mentioned Google Chrome on Twitter, no response was given. Not even a single response. Again, I had no contact to reach out and ask what is wrong and how we can fix. I was so frustrated that I even wanted to build a new browser and ship my extension with it.

- Someone began impersonating me using my full name on blogger. I reported it countless times providing fresh copy of my passport every single time, not even a single response was given. No confirmation, nothing. The blogger is still there impersonating me. My friends also reported it, nothing happened.

Here is three experiences. Based on this, I learnt to never trust and rely on any Google service. The last thing is e-mail and search, and I’ll celebrate the day I’m completely free from any Google services.

> For example, 3rd party Consoles have to launch a Command-Line app off-screen at, for example, (-32000,-32000). They then have to send keystrokes to the off-screen Console, and screen-scrape the off-screen Console's text contents and re-draw them on their own UI!!

I'd guess that the third party emulators might perform worse, but someone need to test it empirically.

You're completely right that we observe it taking an amount of energy approaching infinity to accelerate a particle as it approaches the speed of light. But what the particle experiences is quite different. Imagine the speed of light is 10 units and you had a thruster on you that, in a vacuum, could generated exactly enough thrust accelerate you 1/10th that speed each time you pressed a button. Nothing suddenly happens causing the thruster to completely fail on the 10th, 11th, or 500th push of that button.

All that would happen is that you'd start to experience things getting quite weird. The two biggest things would be that time for everybody would seem to be speeding up and distances would physically contract. This would prevent you from ever perceiving yourself as moving faster than 10 units. The distance from A to B might be 1000 units at rest, but through length contraction it might be perceived to instead only be 15, traversing that distance in thus 1.5 units of time would not be perceived as exceeding the speed of light. However, an outside observer would see you passing through those 1000 units at some speed asymptotically approaching 10 units of speed, but never getting there. They see you taking approximately 100 units of time, you see yourself doing it in 1.5 units of time. Both are right.

A really cool (and handy) area where these two worlds of observer and observed intersect is in particle decay. For instance in particle accelerators we can observe particles that decay after 1 units of time, yet the odd thing is we get observe these particles existing for 4 or 5 units of time! Actually the same effect also applies to things in nature. Muons are created as a product of atmospheric particle collisions, and these muons do make their way down to Earth's surface, yet their lifetime (before decay) is less than the time it would take to get from our atmosphere to the surface of earth at the speed of light! Our universe is seriously weird.

----

These are all very practical problems, or solutions, depending on how you look at things. You can travel billions of years in a human lifetime. Here [1] is a handy converter. It'd take about 45 years at 1g accelerator for a person to travel 15 billion light years - to the ends of the currently observable universe. So the only question is how long it will take us to develop or discover such technology. This is one of the many reasons the possibility of an EM drive, though improbable, was so tantalizing! Forget infinite energy, we're going exploring!

These are also the reason I said that things like extinction become quite difficult to define. For instance, imagine in 200 years that we send out 1000 exploration+colonization ships each with some 5,000 people on them (or whatever the magic number to create a genesis population without inbreeding is). And then 1000 years later humanity on Earth kills itself off. Are humans extinct? Well, we still have those 5 million humans traveling not only in different places in space but in different times in space. So you'd probably say no, but once again... it's weird.

This article and so many others and so many studies miss the point.

Olive and fish have their merits but aren't really that great for you. But whole grains, fruits and vegetables are really good for you.
> Worse, there is a strong bias towards misinformation--look at the health supplement market, which is basically a market the seedy snake oil sellers set up to get around FDA regulation.

The pure food and drug act was passed to deal with the snake oil industry, which was in the process of reinventing and legitimizing itself into the pharmaceutical industry. The supplement industry was later exempted from the requirements for patent medicine producers because there is no way to monopolize the profits of many treatments based on supplements. Some companies have patented certain aspects of their supplement's production or delivery mechanisms, but (I believe) the natural biological molecule itself can't be patented.
