The point is that the frontend is a "thin" JavaScript UI rendered in the browser while the entire real dev environment is remote -- LSP (language sever protocol plugins aka autocomplete, semanic highlighting, nav to reference/definition, etc), other plugins, the project's toolchain, etc, are running in a container/pod on a beefy machine.

Theia (and GitPod.io) will give you this today and it is compelling. GitPod gives you a single button on PRs/Issues that drops you in a dev environment, ready to build and test at the click of a button. No cloning, no installing a toolchain, etc.

If Rust and Rust Language Server are running in a container with Theia, this means I can use a Chromebook-style device for serious, real development without having to enable dev mode or even Linux apps. Every machine in the world becomes a real potential development environment.

Theia even has (or is about to have) debug protocol support too. A real, full IDE running on a remote DC, accessible from your browser. ( If you follow what the Theia and Che devs are doing, they're trying to support the full VS Code API... Which is SUPER exciting!)

(Note, with the level I'm speaking about here, the CRDT is a bit of an implementation detail, but it's useful for collaborative editing and in xrays case, syncing state b/w the browser client and the backend and the underlying SCM system.)
> The probability was .018 under their model. This doesn't mean that this is the true probability.

Well of course different models will give you different probabilities. But given that this is a past event, talking about "true probability" is a bit weird. The only "true" probabilities are 0 and 1. There's nothing nondeterministic about the past. Someone wrote the song.
C# had value types from day one.

Not only were they both fixed function; they were in some very real ways the same GPU. Like bug for bug compatible. Like in a lot of the official Nintendo docs, they didn't even bother to sed s/Dolphin/Revolution.

Honestly a Wii really is an upclocked GC with a coprocessor stapled on the side handling new (and a lot of old) I/O.
Yes, that's right! Specifically, it uses three.js: https://threejs.org/
Without attempting to make a joke, wouldn't a better place to store a doc like this be and of the following: Google Docs, O365, Dropbox, Box.com, Zoho, or basically ANY syste designed for file sharing with specific external customers? AWS isn't really meant to function on it's own as a file sharing service, though there are services that could have been made on AWS for this purpose.
The other issue with this kind of analysis is it assumes people are like robots, but sometimes artists just do decide to do something radically different to any of their prior work.
I gather you've never seen an Australian senate vote.

There are so many candidates, we have hit the limit of the printing presses (a ballot paper 1.2m or so wide). No doubt that width seem reasonable at the time at it is wider than the ballot boxes - so you get a ballot paper can't actually lie flat.

Sadly that wasn't enough to fix the problem, so that had to shrink the font used. In fact that shrank it so much people could no longer read it, so they issued a magnifying glass with each paper.

Just so you have the picture clear in your mind: the ballot paper is so big it won't fit in the ballot box, ad the writing on it so small they issues magnifying glasses. Seeing all candidates names is literally impossible. http://www.abc.net.au/news/6870332

Now onto the next step. The voting system is so complex, the outcome it's known for at least a month. As this is Australia they do use computers but someone has to accurately enter all those marks on a paper that has to be read with a magnifying glass.

So while electronic voting may not make much sense where you live, there are places in the work where it is the only sane option.
Who remembers RCA today, once the biggest corporation in America?
That's the thing in pop science though. String theory is generally accepted -- so write about the iconoclasts who reject it. Asteroid accepted as the end of dinosaurs? Write about the iconoclasts there.
You know, the USA is at the extreme end in this respect, in most other countries it doesn’t cost that much to provide healthcare.
> If a bug is allowed, someone will perpetrate it sooner or later. Sacrificing correctness and safety for the speed and complicity of C is not a valid tradeoff for the industry in my opinion.

It depends on what you are building. For an app it is not a big deal to be slower. But you will not write a kernel in Swift as you will lose performance all over the place.

Python/Javascript/Lua are used as scripting languages to create video games. But the 3D engines are written in C or C++.

Each tool has its use.
somePoint.moveBy(x: 2.0, y: 3.0)

as opposed to

[somePoint moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0];

most Objective-C code would get rid of the space too

[somePoint moveByX:2.0 y:3.0];

Its just painful to type extra characters that don't do anything and don't help readability. Plus the weird splitting of the moveByX is still odd.

I still am mystified why they didn't just start with:

somePoint.(moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0)

to keep it inline with Objective-C and start working on giving the method names an overhaul that would benefit everyone including the Objective-C programmers.
What this article seems to also be missing is that there are actually two versions of the song. I'd say that the final recording is indisputably Lennon, but the original is very much McCartney.

The final version's lyrics are abstract and have the interplay of dark and light. The original version is very concrete and almost ballad-like, very much McCartney's style (it even mentions Penny Lane).

What this kind of approach misses is that shared writing credits don't necessarily mean writing together at the same time. While the two have been known to go off and write a piece together, I think there's a decent argument to be made that McCartney sketched out the idea for "In My Life" and Lennon refined it.
In many areas the Wii was just a GameCube with a clockspeed bump and weird controllers.

You could even run GabeCube games on the Wii, and it didn't require Nintendo to ship almost an entire GameCube on the board like Sony did with PS2 emulation on the PS3.

Although reading this article I wonder how Nintendo handled the ARAM situation and the like on the Wii when playing GameCube games?

You can still on the current Apple TV. In fact if your app is just full of video content or similar then you probably should.
As someone who has, on multiple occasions been required to watch pornography as a part of my job, I cannot fathom how people think that this kind of culture is acceptable in a workplace. It's one thing to have to deal with sexual content, especially in mixed genders, it's an entirely different thing to then turn your workplace into a sexual haven. Unless your job is specifically in the sex trades, there's no reason to ever unzip your pants in front of a co-worker male or female. Keep your privates private. If you really feel the need to masturbate at work there are private stalls in most workplaces that would serve this purpose just fine. The fact that this kind of thing still needs to be said boggles my mind.

The ones in between the arguments. The beauty of sending a message to an object has been replaced with a function call with a horrible syntax. I guess that's what makes Swift a modern language.
String theory is not generally accepted. It has not made a single successful prediction, or indeed any predictions at all. It's more correct to say most physicists view it with skepticism mixed with disdain.
Insider trading is trading using non-public information that you had a duty to protect. So, whatever Musk is (allegedly) doing is not insider trading. It could however still be securities fraud.
It isn't a theoretical threat.

Before 1932, the vote in Brazil was not secret. It resulted in widespread voter coercion and bribery, a system we used to call "halter voting". The "colonel" (powerful landowner or authority figure) would use the threat of violence to force those in his electoral "corral" to vote as he pleased.
They're related, but each hexagram contains two of these (which are apparently sometimes written slightly separated and considered separately). As there are 8 of these symbols, there are 64 hexagrams.

Sure, I agree they should be communicated. Like, in the docs for “standard” mean functions, and not pushed into “specialized” mean functions, since needing this particular convention is not remotely special, and is rudimentary and expected in 99% of linear algebra and data analytics work, which are the largest drivers of these types of statistical functions.

Yeah 1 in 106 seems like an unbelievably high allowable failure rate.
There is no evidence the dinosaurs were on their way out. The evidence is entirely consistent with abrupt extinction with no precursor decline.

The global mass extinction killed things that can be much more precisely dated than dinosaurs. Forams, for example, go extinct right at the impact boundary, cut off like a knife.
I remember sonic booms in the 1960's in the midwest. They weren't worthy of note.
Bullshit .. who is behind it ? Seems very shady to let loose and hide behind some no names that went to some well known schools or worked for a unicorn.
Hmm ... whoever is behind it , isn’t probably liked too much by the science community and came up w that idea to further his own business interests as it seems that his own company ain’t very productive or innovative anymore
No, surveillance and ads aren't "threats" in and of themselves. Being surveilled or shown ads doesn't itself harm you (modulo wasting your time/brainpower, but by that logic getting an email or a phone call is also a threat). What would be a "threat" is potential harm occurring as their consequence. In the case of NSA surveillance, for example, people are worried about innocent people getting caught for the wrong reasons and due process not being followed, resulting in wrongful legal/physical/etc. harm to the wrong person. Or in the case of Equifax, one possible harm is your SSN leaking and being used for ID theft (financial harm, until if/when you prove your innocent).

Now what I'm not seeing is exactly which company's DNS is avoiding what credible harm that people here believe is potentially likely to result from using Google DNS.

As far as Google (or any company, really) internally is concerned, the fact that they are merely "using" the data for themselves (to show you ads, or whatever) is not itself a harm to you. (And maybe worth mentioning, they have used a lot of information to make life a lot better for everyone, like location for traffic data.) The harm would be if they used it to (say) discriminate against you in advertising goods/services, or to harass you, or if they did not secure it properly and your data leaked, etc. None of these are things I'm aware of happening inside Google, but if you know of evidence of this happening, I would love to know.

As far as Google is concerned externally, the only threat you seem to have hinted at here is that you believe they are likely to sell your data to other parties who are then likely to abuse them (such as by harassing you directly, or sharing/exposing your data online to others who might harm you). I have seen no evidence that this has been the case with Google (or Facebook) either -- which should make sense given that you believe user data is their most important asset -- but again, if you have any, by all means do share.

Given the above, combined with the facts that (a) so many people here seem to be disregarding the actual privacy policy, and (b) for most people Google probably already has more information to screw you with than your third-party DNS provider ever will, I'm led to believe there isn't really anything to be gained by avoiding Google DNS. But to each their own...
Also, it isn't just an out of the box solution. At the beginning of the 20th century the United States army tried this as a "solution" to the San Francisco earthquake and ended up blowing up the city and setting new fires on their own.
Well, the bloomberg article mentions that Medtronic has accepted this new uprising (which is great), but there's nothing mentioned about if the new relationship has meant the DIYers have a clear path to controlling pumps that doesn't rely on hacks.

The chances are this is unlikely, for legal reasons: Medtronic creates regulated medical devices. I wonder whether it would be possible to add something along the lines of "push this (software/hardware) button to allow non-regulated 3rd-party hardware and software to begin controlling your medical device, but doing so will bind you to <insert waiver here>" and get such functionality to pass FDA approval. I somehow suspect not, although I would be very happy to hear otherwise.

As things stand now, though, it sounds like (as the article suggests, with the picture of a "hacked pump") people are still relying on methods and techniques that it sounds like anyone can use. So yes, unfortunately everyone's in a situation where any adversary within Bluetooth range could probably take the device over, and (depending on the severity of the vulnerability being used) perhaps modify the pump itself to pump too much or too little regardless of inputs, or similar.

Quite an uncomfortable situation from a security perspective. :/
Sure, I will try to work Trump insults into my jokes.
I would highly recommend NameSilo.com. I have used a number of domain registrars over the years including NameCheap, Register.com even GoDaddy before they went public and eliminated all their discounts for anything other then new registrations and have found no one better or lower cost than NameSilo. Their UI/interface is well designed and easy to use, they have the lowest cost for both new registrations and renewals (including free privacy) and the very few times I had some questions you can actually call them and have a human answer and provide good service/support (unlike NameCheap who provides no live support). Off all the registrations I have used I have consistently found the best combinations of value, great website and service/support with NameSilo. And I have no affiliation or any other relationship with them other than having been a very satisfied customer of theirs for a number of years.

This doesn’t sound like a shadow ban at all. It’s a term that actually means something.[0] This is just people whining that they don’t have a high enough quality score.

I’d take this a lot more seriously if this wasn’t being peddled by same folks that complain about “conservative purges” when Twitter bans a bunch of obvious bot accounts.

What makes this a conspiracy theory is the assumption of some grand covert political agenda. That’s really really hard to believe. Twitter is infamous for not enforcing their own TOS when it comes to hate speech or even calls for violence.

While I’ve never worked at Twitter, I’ve seen how fringe groups start spreading rumors of dark political agendas when it comes to these sorts of algorithms. It just doesn’t happen. It’s just spreading false outrage for clicks. It’s bullshit sold to people desperate for validation of their unpopular ideas.

I had a task recently where I needed to convert several million audio files from one format to another, and I did it with python's multiprocessing module (similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50662610/using-multiproc... )

Just like the poster of that question on SO, I'm wondering if that's the best way (in terms of speed or ease of use). Do any of the third party libraries (like yours) offer any advantages for this use case? To clarify, I'm only talking about doing work on a single workstation.
Technically it's a guild, not a union. It's good for things like providing health coverage and making sure writers get paid and get credit. From what I understand, it has not been great at ensuring sane working conditions.

How can be Bitcoin a refuge for investors when it went from almost 20,000 to 6,000 in less than a year? That is more than the 45% drop of the Lira.

Bitcoin makes sense as a way of evading taxes when moving from Turkish Liras to some other currency. If you want a refuge you go to traditional assets like housing or take it out as dollars and pay the corresponding taxes.
Weird. Because there are all sorts of bulldozing at work right now in the California wildfires: https://www.ocregister.com/2016/07/13/these-bulldozers-are-f...
Oh no. Now you need full file format parsing so that you can resolve merge conflicts.

:(

That would take years to get anywhere with ._.

The diffing idea I suggested above is just manageable, a la macOS Preview, with hacks. Branching requires folding-back-in, and that's not just a case of "A or B", it's a case of "A, B and C conflict with D and E, while F G and H are okay," where I could then say "save B and E but drop F". If B is a layer, E is an imported asset and F is a custom filter... you get the picture. You need a reimplementation of Photoshop (halting problem).

:/

Sad that everyone hates GIMP.

But... hmm, this could get folded into Blender, and then make the rest of the industry jealous.......

Mithril is awesome! I really like it, it's one of the only micro frameworks that I feel is really underrated right now (I also took a look at rivets, and few others). I've actually really been feeling mithril! I avoided mentioning it to seem like I was trying to funnel people to another framework.

I like mithril because it's even simpler, and it has a few more concepts built in that are almost always necessary (ajax, etc), and the reactivity system is almost ridiculously simple -- if you don't fire an event stuff won't happen.

I think what mithril lacks is the adoption, or even better some sort of centralized repository of components that people who are fans of mithril can use. That, and an integration with Nativescript, so it can get "mithril-native" for free...

Other industries are also free to make terrible products, they're just not allowed to hurt people. In that regard, software isn't that different.

Crappy software just doesn't physically injure people very often (compared to like, lawnmowers), and that's where the most serious legal liability for products comes from. Monetary damage from software gets worked out the same way any contract dispute gets worked out, or the same way a physical product that doesn't work but doesn't hurt anyone would get worked out.

Liability for bad software is also complicated by the fact that there's a million apps out there that are free to use. If they are broken for however long, it's hard to say that it cause monetary damage to anyone. (If anything, people are saving time... to paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, FB is broken, sorry for the convenience.)
No, but I do search using Google.
Lua and JavaScript are both examples of dynamic languages where the performance is really impressive.

Lua (like plain JavaScript) is a more spartan development experience than Ruby or Python. I'm not sure what it is; but languages with rich OO seem to be what get picked up by people who need to build "applications" (windows where people click around in them).
Oh right, because the right-hand side evaluates to 0 as well in this case. Makes sense.

They even included the same GPU again as the GameCube/Wii in the Wii U for backwards compatibility purposes. It's honestly a very nice GPU, and team that made it went to go on to dictate the architecture of the PC GPU for the next six years.

For a chip made in 1999, they certainly got their mileage out of it.
