It seems not to be 100% clear from the website, but MapTiler is a family of products.

One of them is called MapTiler Cloud [0], which is based on our own open-source project OpenMapTiles and data from OpenStreetMap and offers base maps in vectors and rasters.

Apart from it, there is a MapTiler Desktop [1] (and Engine [2]), which is a desktop software producing raster tiles (the support for vector tiles is work-in-progress).

There are probably a lot of tools that do this. The conventional-changelog[1] is one project, and it links out many others. AngularJS is a good example of a project that's been using that style for quite some time. I ended up using that as inspiration for my own tool (similar to yours) because as you mention, a lot of the pieces can be idiosyncratic to the project, and it turned out to be a relatively straight forward affair anyways. But if I were starting an open-source (node) project today, I'd probably just use the standard-version tools and forget about it.

Introducing NoState Prefetch for Google Chrome
Seen by people who understand nothing about either language then? The vast majority of Scala developers have nothing to do with frameworks that are "adopting" Kotlin. What Google does with Android is completely irrelevant to us. And I'm not sure Google uses Kotlin at all internally.
That is, broadly speaking, not correct. The reflog makes it very difficult to permanently lose committed changes, and for the most part, commands that change the working directory are generally self-evident. git checkout is really the only common command that has this non-obvious behavior, and even then, only when checking out a path; checking out a commit will warn before overwriting working directory changes. In fact, from what I read, git is far better than mercurial in this respect, as reflog is always on, whereas the journal extension must be manually enabled.

There is a series solution to the 3-body problem, which can in principle be computed to an arbitrary level of precision. So while there's no closed-form solution (as the wikipedia article notes), there is a solution. However, my understanding is that this series solution converges slowly enough as to not be useful in practice.
> The volume of mail going out of my server was so low, I could read the outbound mail.log for myself, and routinely did.

This was your actual problem. The large providers (gmail, outlook, yahoo) and appliance vendors (ironport, etc.) are all now treating "unknown" senders as spammers. If you don't send a large enough volume of emails, you will never make it into their reputation tracking lists because "it's not worth it". End result, you are considered unknown and will be treated as a spammer forever.

Before I gave up and unfriended them, I used to try and debate some FB friends that believed in chem trails, flat Earth, and other ridiculous things.

The last thing that was said to me before unfriending was "i see what you're doing. That's real low energy, man."

I think arguing for the public's hearts and minds has more to do with the former than latter.

Yes. Scala market is smaller than some other programming languages but it is still growing.

For programmers, the important change in the market isn’t programming language adoption. It is expectation to work with multiple programming languages.
Majority of good opportunities in the market are going to ask for programmers that can work with two or three programming languages.
> That's not really enforceable, is it?

I think so. It's just a matter of the registrar removing the feature that allows transfers of domains between accounts. I guess you can still try "selling" a domain by actually putting a price on forfeiting a domain back to the registrar and giving a chance to the "buyer" to buy it from the registrar at its price. This, however, puts the buyer at risk that the registrar might put an elevated price on the domain and also that someone else that was watching for a domain to be let go might buy it first.

In order to ensure that all registrars do remove the feature for this domain, the registry for that domain would have to include such a clause in the contract it would have with these registrars.

If I were at Intel management I might explore with engineering resurrecting the Itanium (rebranded and modernized of course). Today with so much open source there is less instruction set lock in, and with all these vulnerabilities you might be able to market it as a more secure architecture. In that case you might only need to equal x64 performance.

Ever since last winter I am a bit cautious when articles like this pop up. I was on a conference where one of the handful tracks was fact checking, and a keynote speaker used images like the one in the article to illustrate how news media has failed during the 2016 election. One image that specially caught my attention was a word cloud made from polls about what voters knew about each candidate, and the speaker made a big point that all the major scandals was missing from Trumps side but the Clinton side was full of it.

This rang all kind of warning bells, so I went and looked up the source and suddenly it made all good sense. The polls was done between the start of the preliminaries (which happen to be around the time wikileaks started publishing their stuff) and ended a couple months before the election day, and all those "missing" scandals about Trump that made international news are all more or less during those last couple of months. In that context the word cloud perfectly matched more or less everything what international news had been writing about the two candidates during the preliminaries and shortly afterward before the election campaign had really started. The researchers even noted this in their original paper, pointing out that if the polls had been done closer to election date then the data would look very different.

I could have used many of the same material to hold my own keynote about how news has successfully informed the public correctly. I notified the conference organizers, but I doubt it had any effect since the message followed the political tides right now. People want to believe that fake news caused the election results, and that is to me a very worrying. First we need to establish if it did, and it seems that everyone is skipping that step.

i am very excited by the idea to create music by means of programming. but it seems that there isn't even a single project with an active community. supercollider seems to be the most popular with regard to GitHub stats. Sonic pi seems to be the most recent endeavor in this area. but it doesn't offer any deb-packages. compiling for Debian/Ubuntu seems to be not documented.

my impression is that this is coming up every couple of years but nobody so far succeeded at actually producing a system that gains meaningful popularity. not to mention how difficult it was too compile/set up the software for the various projects i have tried.

another problem is that very few YouTube tutorials showcase rythms and melodies going beyond something resembling a ping pong match on speed.

would love to hear your opinion.

Hard drive failure modes are more likely to be recoverable.

The most common failure for a DVD (other than scratches) is physical degradation of the storage medium, which makes the data corrupted and completely unretrievable, if it can be read at all.

A spinning disk is most likely to fail because the moving parts get locked up. In a pinch, data retrieval specialists can move the platters to a new drive and be able to read them again.

Magnetic hard dives do sometimes experience spontaneous data corruption, but it’s much less common, and typically corrupts only a file or two (a flipped bit here and there) rather than making the entire drive unmountable. The exception is if you expose your drives to stormy magnets, which... we’ll, you don’t do that, do you?

I’m less familiar with SSD failure modes - perhaps someone else can speak to that.

It's quite strange to complain about YouTube and call its front page" fake news. That's pretty much like blaming "television" is fake news.

Youtube is a carrier, rather like UHF frequency is a band for transmitting carriers. Your television can show anything, depending on which channels you choose to watch. YouTube service also contains just about anything, and there's no such thing as a "YouTube front page" like you have front page of a newspaper. It's your own front page that comes up, based on what you've previously been interested in.

If you are interested in fake news, you'll see fake news in YouTube. Just like if you're interested in supermarket tabloid stories, you'll buy National Enquirer and read that. It's your choice.

[for personal data]

The unreliable part of a backup system is the human. Maybe DVD media is more reliable. Maybe it isn't. Probably it doesn't matter. If all your data fits on one DVD, then it is practical. If all your data doesn't fit on one DVD, then it's not...at least for most people[1] -- I think.

For me, I use hard disks. Not really as a explicit strategy [2], but because I have them laying around. I have them laying around from upgrading to SSD's and replacing laptops and installing new OS's...new disks are a time efficient way to upgrade an OS on an existing system. Compared to DVD's storing 100GB of data on an old 250GB hard disk is easy...or two old 250GB disks. Most of the time, I don't need old personal data. If I need it, it's ok to have a few (or many) copies...it's probably better. Short of storing video, HDD far outstrip most people's personal data needs. As I mentioned, that's still a common case for DVD's. It's just that DVD's require explicit backup and HDD's don't.

[1]: Anyone who is actually willing in practice to swap DVD's will almost certainly have already committed to a backup strategy.

[2]: Well ok, I have motherboard RAID mirroring on the tower ...I'd kind of forgotten about it because the tower is 10 years old and shipped with it.
I agree this doesn't sound nice, but for years before "cloud", most orgs had exchange servers and we rarely had this problem. I think it's still possible to self-host.
On the other hand, when the IC wanted a cloud the only two real competitors were IBM, Amazon and the NSA. IBM protested the award but Amazon ultimately won.

If the requirements for this are anything like the ICs then Oracle doesn't offer enough to truly compete. It'll be either Google or Amazon in the end with Microsoft winning a side contract to provide Exchange, AD, and Office365.

Real-time displays often need to show floating point numbers as they change. As a simple example, the time remaining display of a music player ticks down as the music plays. Now in this case, it is easy to fake it by using integers and then placing the decimal point, but if you were controlling something complex in real time you might not be able to do this as easily.
Informing the public correctly, or accurately parroting one candidate's desired message about the other candidate(s)? It seems clear to me that the media are afraid of losing access and retaliation at the business level for granting unfavorable coverage. It's all become a circus.

You have too much faith in humanity: a lot can be, and will be done "because the system says so".

When the effect of the regulation would be the same as if there was a tax and a subsidy, yes, very much so.

If I had to take a position on this one, I'd probably be in favor of it, even though I dislike subsidies in general, for the reasons some others have stated -- though I'd have to think more about it. And I don't think we should assume (as further up) that people who live in rural areas are doing it for subsidies like this. But this regulation is very much a subsidy.
I really don't think Spectrum will be the party that's negotiating from a position of power here.
> It’s Albright’s research that helped build a bruising story in The New York Times on how the Russians used fake identities to stoke American rage.

OK, so Albright has done outstanding work. His map[0] is mind-blowing.

But there's another key aspect: This isn't new. For sure, Russian propagandists are using the Internet very effectively. However, Russian influence on US culture and politics goes back many decades. Communist groups in the US during the 30s-60s. US anti-war movements in the 60s-80s. The anti-draft movement, with heavy Quaker involvement. And the Soviet-American Friendship Society. That Ramparts article about Johnson and JFK's corpse.

And since the 90s, they've been focusing more on the radical right. Pushing distrust of the US government. I saw that developing in cypherpunk communities. But I wasn't sure, until RT appeared.

And by the way, I'm not arguing that Russia isn't justified in doing all this. It's arguably just defense. Because the US does it too. In Afghanistan, supporting the Taliban. In the Balkans. In the Ukraine. In Chile. I mean, they broke up the Soviet Union, and one aspect was propaganda.

Anyway, just sayin'.

Edit: I'm not arguing that those were all Russian front groups. Just that they were Russian influenced. And here's another example: Mad Magazine :) Also, the US did the same. I mean, the US promoted modern/abstract art as a Cold War weapon!

Edit: I'm not making this up.[1] Also, re support offered to the JFK campaign.[2]

Outright advertising in the old school sense is dead and has been for a long time. Marketing is not. I think this author is deeply confused. Now, more than ever, the perceived value of cheap products is being inflated by brand. Look how much people pay for a can of Red Bull, which offers less volume than a soda and less caffeine than a coffee. Look at how much people pay for Starbucks coffee and Hermès purses. It’s all smoke and mirrors. In many cases, you’re paying more for an inferior product because the brand gods took advantage of your cognitive bias.

The example of Tesla is particularly ridiculous to me and shows how little understanding of marketing the author has. Tesla isn’t a no-marketing company that only relies on its good product. What about a Tesla is superior? Not the interior. Mercedes has them beat there. Not the technology - it’s been proven unreliable at best. Not the range - many gasoline cars have better range. Not the price - their current offerings are far higher than an average person can afford. It’s questionable whether they’re even better for the environment than other cars. In fact, Tesla is so good at marketing that they’ve bamboozled the author and he doesn’t even realize it. Elon Musk knows the way to manipulate perceptions, and he’s very, very good at it.
