After running my test suite, I'm seeing zero deprecation warnings (let alone failures) in 2.1. I'll still wait a couple months before upgrading in production, but this should be one of the easiest upgrades in a long time.
Your cat example is perfect. Your cat clearly makes value judgements about food options by rejecting one type in favor of other offerings -- ones that may not even be immediately available. That you cannot speak 'cat' for her to explain why the sausage is not ideal is not her failure...
> also being lossless you are futureproofed on new formats you might need to convert to.

Part of my original point was that I've been using AAC exclusively for 15 years now, and with all the content encoded in AAC now I don't see support for it disappearing in the next 15 either.
Yep. It's pretty much industry standard on mid-range performance cars and trucks. Many manufacturers are moving to smaller I4 and V6 turbocharged engines on models that traditionally had big V8s. These smaller engines provide great efficiency and good performance, but they're much quieter and blander-sounding than the old V8s. Subtle digital augmentation of the engine note restores some of the feeling of performance at trivial cost.

How does refraining from providing any search access whatsoever to a country with a population of 1.4 billion fit the mission of "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful?"

One would assume it implies offering services to people in China is a goal. Perhaps "do the right thing" is open to interpretation.

> Organic search results skewed by ad payments or censorship is antithetical to Google's mission.

Has Google's policy of blocking images of pedophilia from search results in countries where the laws and morals of the country forbid those images compromised its mission? Or is there room in the mission for the nuance that different people have different common standards?

This. I liked her when she primarily concerned herself with consumer advocacy.
Couldn’t they eg have some trusted proxy server that routes some requests to the real-content NYTimes server and some to the ad server?
Err, sure, I'll have to figure out how to do that first, though. I'm assuming I can't make a pull request somewhere?

that's exactly how I read dweb at first glance :)
US here, I'd never heard of a fake cake before this article. Reading other threads, however, it actually seems to be more common outside the US than inside, and the fact that I've never heard of them here seems to mean little, since many other people have.
Read-only model views are a great addition to the Django admin -- I've been watching that PR for a long time, glad to see it land.

This will make it a lot easier to build internal admin dashboards that are safe to share with non-privileged users like support staff.
Writing is hard. Writing clearly is harder. Writing clearly in a way that won't run the reader out of the room is harder still. So my hat is off to anyone writing an RFC.

Now there were a couple of fertile points in the article that could bear more development in another piece.

1. An RFC sometimes focuses on the sender, without then turning to the receiver. For example, suppose it says that the Foo header must not contain Bar. So if a sender sends a header of "Foo: Bar" then it is clearly "nonconformant." But what is the recipient to do? Ignore it, send a certain error message, what? This is especially pertinent given that the Robustness Principle advises that you "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle).

The takeaway is, I think that the IETF should work it explicitly and prominently into the RFC template. In the editor's guide or whatever for how to write an RFC, it should call out this very problem and say something like, "For every rule you lay down, be sure to address how the recipient should handle it when the sender breaks the rule."

2. RFCs should remember that readers are humans. For example, "In the example above, whitespace isn’t allowed around the semicolon, but you can bet that some people will put it there." Right. Some people will put it there because for 20 years in everyday writing they have seen semicolons followed by whitespace. It is part of being a writer to not just put your claim in "grammatical English" but also to take into consideration the reader's culture and background. You can't say, "Well, there clearly is no whitespace in the Backus–Naur form that I painstakingly laid out for you." Humans are not computers. They are not functions. They do not always return the same output for a certain input. This is because they are always entertaining several streams of input, most of which you don't have control over.
Is this a problem only in countries where you have to pay a lot to study? I did not had to pay for my higher education and the people that had a high talent and potentials achieved good results, there was no need to work to make money for studying and if you are good you got positions at University or get jobs at high paying companies.

EDIT: people, I'm not saying Electron is gross. I think it's awesome. I do however think it seems very off to use it to build a terminal.
And many corporations that don't specifically do business in the EU chose not to comply with the GDPR, which is fine. (I mean, I like the GDPR, and wish they would comply, but it's valid.)

Very neat! I'm still relying on my car's built-in display for the camera, so my computer isn't doing maps or the like, but I've got a computer in my car mostly for music and GPS logging, always neat to see what other people are doing!
I've been working with Django for almost my whole career, since 1.1. It's a joy to use, and blows any other web framework I've used out of the water when it comes to actually just building stuff.

Django is a fantastic boring[1] tool, and seeing boring updates like this is great.

Hey, I've got a 50 MB mobile cap myself. But I don't complain since it's a free add-on on my phone+text plan.
Eh, maybe. Virtualbox is point and click at this point, and taken on in conjunction with their institutional IT departments as hopefully they do with all desktop point and click software, totally doable with 5-10 hours of training and some typed desk procedures. Learning new tools and workflow seems to be part of the job. As I type that I also thought of a different response from the perspective of a leader and software engineer, I did not type that response.

Some reasons I prefer command line tools:
1) Don't have to use the mouse. This is a major plus for me. Even when I am not in the CLI, I prefer apps that have heavy KB shortcuts.
2) For ToDo apps, I think it's a good interface, because it forces simplicity.
3) CLI tools usually keep a simple text style DB (not always true, but true of this app at least). This is nice especially since it allows for multiple sharing/syncing patterns.
4) Integration and extensibility. I don't need to wait for the developer to implement a filter tool. I can pipe the output, or the contents of the "DB" to grep and do that. I don't need the developer to add bulk edit features. I can use awk to do that myself. I don't need the developer to implement scheduled tasks. I can write a cron job that does that for me.

I was attempting to encourage you to engage in the wonders of self-education through research, rather than spoon-feed you particular answers. Please accept my apologies for mistaking your desires.
Is it still unbearably slow?
My working theory is, it is context dependent if longer school days, and terms are better or worse.

For example: With Children that have a rich home environment, plenty of interactions that stimulate them, keeping them at school longer may hamper development.

On the flip side you have an environment where this is not the case. Examples include socio-economic factors like parents/care givers working long hours.

I recently did research into this exact problem in South Africa. What are the factors that impact on education in communities that have socio-economic challenges?

The challenges are numerous and as this article says. The environment around the children just makes it extremely difficult for them to break out of the cycle of poverty.

These factors include:

being hungry,

crime,

lack of sanitation-this is a problem in South Africa they get sick more often then their counterparts in other areas.This results in them missing more school which puts them behind.,

Parents working long hours, travelling distances to get to work

Lack of resources in schools or support

There really is a multitude of problems each impacting the other creating a self perpetuating cycle of poverty.

Out of the research into the problems I developed a concept for a social enterprise that could solve some of these problems.

Trying to identify some funding sources as traditional vc will not be suitable. Maybe impact investors?

Pusher | London | Mobile Architect | Perm

Mission

At Pusher we’ve built an incredibly successful business from our core pub-sub API product, helping tens of thousands of developers build scalable web and mobile apps faster.

But we didn’t stop there: we spent the last 18 months investing in a new platform. We took everything we learned from building and running Pusher and made it easier to develop innovative new products like Chatkit, TextSync, and Push Beams.

We believe our products can only be successful if they provide great developer experience, which starts with easy to use, consistent SDKs.

I've wished this about web browsers as much as about web sites, but Mozilla seems to be moving in the opposite direction there. I feel that this is not, in fact, a goal of the project at all, but merely an incidental feature of its current architecture.

>Also, the agenda of discrediting the US intelligence community is a long-standing goal of Russian intelligence, evidenced by their support of Wikileaks and Snowden.

Absolute nonsense. The Mccarthyite "Blame Everything on Russia" bots are now on Hacker News.

Skepticism over US Intel Agencies is not a 'Russian Goal'. It's common sense, and all you have to do is research their history of overthrowing governments and lying to us intentionally to lose any trust in them. You don't need a 'Russia' element to research their dark and dirty past.
And who deems the data too sensitive? I, for one, am thrilled by the notion that we should run from the arms of our corporate overlords and straight into the arms of our government overlords. ;)

Who's responsibility? Not the child's. This school is about helping the children who weren't given a say in the matter of their upbringing and existence.
School starts are staggered so the district can use fewer buses (at least they are around here). Middle school at 7:55, High school at 8:35, Elementary at 9:20.
I wonder where that removal is in the roadmap :P
