You can only convince people that are open to being convinced. Usually I've seen this take some sort of harsh real-world personal experience that contradicts their existing world-view.

Personal example: I used to strongly defend Obamacare, and would dismiss any arguments against it as trolling. Until I had to sign up with Covered California, deal with the buggy website, wait on hold for hours, then deal with higher deductibles and miscellaneous bureaucracy. Then I realized the detractors had a point and basically switched sides.

Lastly, do you have to persuade someone to take your point of view? Are you able to be friends with them otherwise? If so, continue to be their friend and wait until an event happens that leads them to question their beliefs. Then subtly drop hints...remember, nobody likes to be told they're "wrong".
Those are not exactly common fees! I think you're pretty off base here. The first two fees probably ~once every five years on the upper end (how often do you change the registration on an account?) and the last is entirely up to you.

Besides which, these fees are 0.25-0.39% each on a 10k account. I bet most of their accounts are much larger, and so the fees are proportionally smaller. Suppose you're charged $39 every three years - hard to imagine on that fee schedule - on your 10k account, that's around 0.13% per year. And that's a crazy high estimate for a relatively small brokerage account. It's not a way for Fidelity to stay in business.
Based on total malware installs, where Apple has everybody beat by even just Xcodeghost alone.

Google doesn't pretend that manually reviewing apps prevents malware because it obviously (to any software engineer) doesn't. It does, however do both static and dynamic analysis of the apps in its store, unlike Apple and the Chinese app stores.
One idea is to look at Vue over React. I think there are some advantages. First, PHP/Laraval has adopted Vue. Second, it's a bit easier to get into than React (and better suited for smaller/incremental projects). Third, it's easier to stand out as a Vue developer due to its smaller (but growing) market.

This isn't a technical critique … I think Vue and React are very similar … just a suggestion in terms of job searching. Best of luck!
Remember when you got a piece of technology that felt like magic? Like 'this is what the future feels like'?

I had that feeling again when I first used Nano. A friend of mine and me, we got the wallets and kept sending Nanos back and forth, just because. 2s per transaction, no fees. It blew our minds.

Not to shill Nano. It might well be the case that Nano won't be occupying this space of near-instant and feeless transactions. But _something_ definitely will, and it will happen rather soon.

Let me give you a concrete example.

Here is what North America looks like on this new map:

https://i.imgur.com/lCI8DjY.jpg

This is not a good projection to use if you want to see all of North America. There is dramatically more distortion than necessary, and shapes near the edges get very squished (the west coast of the US is okay), but it is not at all obvious to a naïve viewer what kind of distortions are involved, and past experience looking at soccer balls or whatever isn’t going to fix it.

(Note: a Mercator projection is also not a good choice for this. On a Mercator projection sizes are dramatically bloated as you go north.)
When I Hackintosh'd my X60, one thing I liked about it rather more than Windows was the pointer acceleration --- which if you search online, everyone else seems to hate (although they might be using regular mouses, in which case the sensation is quite different.) IMHO a TrackPoint really feels better with acceleration than not, because it makes it more sensitive; otherwise it gets tiring pretty quickly to shove the pointer around the screen, or you lose pixel-precision for small movements if you set the full-screen speed high enough to make big movements easily.
a subway map has little to do with a geographic map. only the nodes and time traveled between them matter. the shape of the actual routes is immaterial.
Wait, what? You're comparing FF's bare-bones live feeds feature to Google Reader? They are night and day. Live bookamrks were meant to be a bare minimum, a starting point for users to get a feel for RSS. No one in their right mind would say they were discouraging competition and experimentation. As evidence: all the great RSS readers (NetNewsWire, Reader, Feedly, etc.) were created while live bookmarks still existed.

Isn't Fortnite, mobile and desktop, f2p with IAPs? So, building the Play Store cost into the Play Store edition would mean higher price IAP for people who were already playing free which would mean more players that don't buy or buy less, meaning a higher ratio of players that are a net cost to Epic.

Maybe because, the cli mode means, you need to remember the commands?

In GUI mode, though inefficient, you know exactly where to access help and a few basic params (like dropdown menu on top, usually save under file, cut and copy under edit) that smoothens the learning curve. They have some solid ground from which to start exploring.

Whereas under console mode, there is no unifying paradigm. So each tool has a different way of doing the same thing. There is a lot of inertia at the start. Like what command is it for help 'h' or 'h?' or 'help' or 'H' ? What command is it for quit 'q' or 'quit' or 'ctrl+d' or 'ctrl+c' or 'bye' ?

For example, in gmail, I expected archive to be 'a' and delete to be 'd' or atleast "DEL". Very basic operations and basic expectations. Turns out, archive is '#' and delete is some char I can't remember now (I think '{' and '}' to indicate whether to go to the previous mail or the next mail. A 'd' to go to next mail and a 'D' to go to previous email would have been a lot more intuitive). Of course, you can customize the key bindings, but then you got to go do it across all your accounts.

While people may be quite happy to be able to wield so much power within the slack environment, they are very quickly going to lose their enthusiasm with the introduction of each new console tool, unless what they have learned in the slack environment translates into easier learning curve in the next console env.

Basically for users to be able to adopt the console mode, there is should be some sort of standardization.
Why do you believe what you believe is true? Independant study? Easiest possible explanation? Herd effect? Fear of standing out?

It's rare that you can change another persons mind. But you can try to understand why they believe what they do.

You present vaccinations as an example, with "decades of evidence supporting them." That's far less time than evidence supported a flat earth.

The thing is, some vaccines work pretty well. Others don't. It's complicated by the fact that if they don't work, or if they injure or kill you, you can't get your money back or bring lawsuits against the manufacturers or providers.

And there's no laws or regulations that say vaccines must work. Vaccine makers can literally solubilize dog shit and call it a vaccine. And it will "work" for quite a lot of people. There's billions of dollars counting on the us believing they're effective. That blind faith in vaccines has been waning for quite a while now.
> But Firefox refused.

This isn't quite true.

Firefox refused to do some things (explicitly violating some standards to fix some kinds of cosmetic issues, adding some APIs that seemed bad for users and the web). Firefox definitely did a bunch of other things to improve compat, including implementing various nonstandard IE6 features (XMLHttpRequest comes to mind!), matching IE6 rendering in various cases (see limited-quirks mode), etc, etc.

[Disclaimer: I was working on Firefox back then, and still am now; I've had to deal with a _lot_ of this firsthand.]

You can mail checks much larger than $10k in. That is what I usually do, as it’s less of a hassle than getting to a branch during business hours. Schwab even provides post paid enevelopes for you to use.
But you still seem to be in agreement that the implementation of the language has a neccesary overhead... printing the operator that indicates code would require another escape sequence, and the overhead of the operator to identify code would mean that some compressible strings dont benefit from compression.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel the same way about MIPS solvers as well. The amount of optimization that has gone into these solvers over decades, and the kind of problems they're solving is staggering. Yet, you never hear about them since operations research is not as sexy as deep learning.

There's one spare tire. If cars were carrying around spares of 10 different things, you bet people would be looking into cutting some of them out.

There is a real cost in terms of technical debt, complexity, ease of maintenance, etc to having more features. The question then always becomes whether the features are worth the cost.

Lumen Distribution

>At the genesis of the Stellar Network, 100 billion lumens (XLM) were created as specified in the protocol. As part of its custodial mandate, SDF is entrusted to oversee that the vast majority, 95 billion, of the lumens are distributed to the world.

>SDF manages the execution of lumen distribution, with oversight and direction provided by SDF’s Expansion Board. The initial lumens held by SDF are required to be distributed to the world in the following manner:

50% for distribution via the Direct Sign-up Program
25% for distribution via the Partnership Program
20% for distribution via the Bitcoin Program
5% held by SDF to support operational costs

Funny part of the protocol is that the voting power goes to the rich, and they just vote themselves all the new money that's generated:

>The Stellar Network has a built-in, fixed, nominal inflation mechanism. New lumens are added to the network at the rate of 1% each year. Each week, the protocol distributes these lumens to any account that gets over .05% of the “votes” from other accounts in the network.

The cryptocoin community has an established Modus operandi.

Write a piece of software that generates a supply of database tokens, and write the rules in such a way that they gain majority ownership and distribute a large portion of the supply to a few early "whales". These early users then act in every way they can to spread promotional promises and propaganda to the public in an attempt to convince people they too can become an oligarch of this token system that will surely be the future (as they sell their tokens for fiat) and all they need to do is "hodl" the supply and wait of course.

Have you ever tried parsing RSS as produced in the real world? If you try to parse it with an actual XML parser, you are going to have a _very_ bad time.
> Composability: I’m far from a zealot singing the praises of the Unix philosophy, but most terminal apps produce output that I can process in some way to get into another program.

Composability within the conceptual framework of the terminal itself (e.g., using a pipe).

But suppose I want to shuttle text back and forth across the terminal/GUI domain.

Do I even have a reliable way to select and copy text that extends past the viewport of a terminal? Even the method of copying a selection isn't cross-platform in terminals (e.g., among terminals running in Linux/OSX/Windows).

Compare that to the holy trinity of <ctrl_or_cmd-a>, <ctrl_or_cmd-c> and <ctrl_or_cmd-v> in any viewport of any web browser.

Plus, you can't even depend on a particular feature being available to a terminal of a single platform. Take the example of middle-click selection pasting from the terminal. Can I depend on distros to never bother me by removing that feature? If so, what is the standard that governs the requirement for this feature?
I use Linux on a desktop at work, and like it just fine. I don't feel strongly about it, it's a tool, and it works plenty well. If someone installed macOS on it, I think that would be fine too.

But laptops are a whole different story. The last time I tried using Linux (and Windows too, actually) on a laptop, I couldn't get through a day without wishing for the touchpad from my (2015 vintage) macbook pro. Most touchpad hardware sucks to begin with, and installing Linux on the MBP itself still sucked due to drivers. My computer is sadly getting long in the tooth and I definitely won't be getting one of the new MacBooks after reading people's experiences with them, so I think I'll have an opportunity to try out a Linux laptop again soon, but I'm more dreading than looking forward to it. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Technically, other systems are vulnerable to the same. In practice, there's something about the node/js ecosystem that encourages the proliferation of dependencies, increasing the attack surface.

It's actually not that much more computationally intensive, even doing texture RGB -> spectral wavelength conversion for each BSDF / light evaluation.

But you do get a fair bit more spectral noise in the image, but this can be handled by handling multiple wavelengths at once with SIMD and importance-sampling the wavelengths to use (Hero wavelength sampling).

Where it does actually make a lot of sense over RGB triplets is for volume scattering / absorption
(so more accurate hair and skin rendering for example) - calculating the mean free path with wavelengths is much more accurate than using an RGB triplet which is an approximation - however, this means to enjoy this benefit, you need to store the volume coefficients in wavelength bins (instead of RGB values), which uses quite a bit more memory.

No distributions with truly great out of the box defaults, too much time tied up in configuration, too few Linux app developers with a user-oriented mindset and obsession with getting all the details right. Also, just generally death by a thousand cuts with ridiculous numbers of small annoyances.

> In the book, Frankenstein's monster was the good guy -- he was clever, sensitive and persecuted for his humanity

Er, no he wasn't (the good guy. he was clever etc). He wasn't a villain, per se, but he spends most of the book stalking and threatening Frankenstein so that he'll make a wife for him, and then proceeds to murder Frankenstein's beloved when he doesn't (after, you know, killing a bunch of other people).

I'll grant that the monster had a genuine grievance, but he's in no way the good guy. And he's not persecuted for his humanity, either, he's quite literally persecuted for his obvious inhumanity - the whole sequence where he meets the family with the blind grandfather (father?) is explicitly about that.

It's also quite a lot like terminator insofar as there's a superhuman unstoppable obsessed force that will never stop chasing you.

I was a minor figure in the starting of Byte back in, what 1974? Can't remember the year.

I worked with Carl Helmers (original editor, who had a hobbyist micro newsletter already going, dealing with 8008's, etc.) and Dan Fylstra (a friend from high school days in San Diego, later founder of Visicorp, publisher of Visicalc, the first "killer app" in the PC world) at Intermetrics in Cambridge (Fresh Pond), a gov't consulting firm.

Carl and Dan and I went up one summer day to Wayne Green (ham radio magazine publisher)'s place in New Hampshire and hashed out the basics.

I only wrote a couple of articles, helped with editing, and then school hit (I was starting junior year, I think) and I faded out. (Was also working more than full-time at Intermetrics (much more fun than school) while also attending Harvard full-time.)

But it was fun while it lasted...

Generally fasting under 2 weeks is considered safe. The stomach does not have a problem being in an acidic environment, it's always in acid. What some people report is heartburn or acid reflux, which can be damaging to the throat lining however it's usually temporary or treatable. Keep in mind people have been fasting safely, whether intentionally or not since before history. Our bodies are capable of handling many feast/famine cycles.
