Originally a financial times article, incidentally. I thought they stole it but it seems they have a partnership.

Good to see this get a wider readership, it was a good article.
1. Node on the server does not have a comprehensive framework that compares to rails. You'll roll your own, and it will suck.

2. It's not any more difficult to scale than Node, you'll just need more servers to handle the load. Horizontal scaling works basically the same for both platforms.

3. Well understood baggage is better than baggage only a handful of people in your company know about as a result of your custom web framework.

4/5 of course nothing is a perfect fit for every project and everyone has their preferences, but this can be said for any language or platform so it's sort of a non argument.

6. Good luck finding interns and junior devs who can be productive writing in some esoteric functional language.
I'm using a fairly inexpensive BENQ "gaming" monitor that has a "Low Blue Light" feature that I've grown to really like a lot.

The Low Blue Light feature took a bit to get used to. I turned in on when I first got it but didn't keep it on because it changes the way colors are displayed quite a bit. But after using it a bit I decided to give it another shot for a week straight to see if I could get used to it.

At the end of the week I turned it off again and could immediately feel increase in eye strain. I ended up adjusting the other two monitors I have on my desk to reduce the blue light on them as well and it would be really hard to go back to the default settings now.

And a second hand Chromebook is cheaper than the new Chromebook price point. I guess you could then suggest stealing a non Chromebook laptop as a "better deal" to support a specious argument.
My dream is to get a light weight laptop with just enough power to send/receive input to/from my more powerful desktop where I do Gpu intensive game development on Windows.

Sadly Remote Desktop is lacking in a lot of ways mainly the refresh rate makes it very difficult to resolve the rendered scene I’m working on.

Any suggestions?
On a related note, I've noticed that millennial age men rarely go naked in locker room gyms. And I'm not just talking about not walking around the place naked, but specifically going through all the extra effort to do the "towel caterpillar shuffle" to avoid being naked for the 5 seconds it takes to change into gym shorts. It strikes me as bizarre.

But I understand it and agree with other posters, with the rise of the internet and pornography there is such a strong connection between nakedness and sex that didn't really exist thirty years ago.
I think low population growth makes japan seem more stagnant than it is. You can have a recession with rising gdp per capita if your population is shrinking. Few articles on economic growth account for different population growth levels however.
I switched because ultimately I will be forced to use it, so better start using it now. I use the compact setting, & same in earlier one was really compact; but in new it still has lots of white space, so use the 90% zoomed out version of new one.
Changing behavior and changing attitude are not the same thing. If you would like to go e.g. topless, but have concerns about the behaviors or peoples around you then you haven't changed your attitude - but you have changed your behavior. I'm not nit picking semantics as this is really a very important issue in society today -- you cannot derive how people think from how people act.
yeah I had a very strong skeptical attitude while reading the article. For me, it raises some flags when it's alleged the author is in the business of selling prediction markets, you are gonna read only the good parts.

I find it hard to believe that a prediction market will be able to outperform hedge funds. It's an open secret that insider trading is rampant despite SEC enforcement, so unless those hedge funds are participating in these prediction markets, it's hard to put any value especially at this early stage.

I can definitely see a use for internal opinions, like, do we need a new CEO? and then putting the equilibrium forces of an efficient market to work. Best Buy tried it and I'm not sure if it's still being used decade later.
I keep thinking about older ThinkPads with Core processors - there is a huge aftermarket with many original parts, many of those notebooks are basically on the level of contemporary i5 notebooks with thicker body and worse screens, but with upgradeable RAM and storage. And you can have them for the price of current Chromebooks.

If a trend in the industry is towards limiting upgradeability, in the direction of rent-seeking by first subscriptions, soldering everything onto mainboard, limiting connections, later perhaps rental fee for equipment like it is with car leasing, a trend which I consider insane, can't I object to it? Chromebooks are basically a prime example of this trend, while regular notebooks didn't embrace it fully yet, but are getting there as well. Can't a company with arguably the best predictive platform in the world model and foresee the effect on environment, or is it just profit and mindshare that matters these days?

Look up how much win7 used to cost and how much you have to pay for win10. Microsoft knows that Google is the competition.
The Chrome OS experience has, for the last few years, been a higher quality experience than that of OS X or MS Windows. Upscale Chromebooks have a market with people who don't want to suffer just because they don't really use their laptop that often (which with Windows, means that the performance-sapping, non-atomic updater will take up about half of your useful time with the thing).
There should be some company that makes money by detecting pollution, determining its source(s), and potentially providing insurance - or litigation. This would give incentive to find previously unknown pollutants that maybe even the factory and environmentalists were unaware of. The government has been very ineffective at this: see Flint Michigan.
I’d go with the importation of Islamic values. American media isn’t that prude, and not much else cultural is imported from the US.
I think an important advantage is vertical integration. Similar to Apple and iPhone, Tesla controls most of the stack. They can do a lot more than their competitors.
Sometimes I think to myself, 'I'll do just 5 or 10 minutes before I start' and that helps to take the pressure off.

Or if it's mundane, find and focus on aspects that appeal more; can it be done quicker? is it possible to create a better way of doing it?

And for fairly simple tasks, sometimes the right music or radio station or podcast takes the boredom away and passes the time too.
Rails might not be perfect, but there's a 95% chance it'll be better than the custom framework you end up building on Node.

iOS 12 Jailbreak Saurik Confirms His Best Cydia Involvement iOS 12.0.1
What's funny about this statement is I'm similar... but just recently I told the "pre script" to fuck off, then I realized I wrote exactly what was already pre-written.

So, maybe it isn't making you dumber if you think about what you want to say and then pick the one that is closest or exact.
I guess apple is totally okay with being a minority of the market then since they're doubling down on proprietary sensors and apps that only work in their own ecosystem.

they can ignore the 85% if they want. The 85% of the market will ignore them back in turn.
But you could ‘squirt’ songs from one Zune to another.

The Zune was a litany of poor decisions, but that word choice must have been the worst.
I’m super interested in this space! Agree with sibling that focus here is on knowledge management while question mentions media, which is probably even more interesting challenge. I recently dreamed up something that kinda resembled Airtable (which you should check out), albeit I was thinking more of datomic like system as opposed to tables (more flexible, but tables are nice and simple). I like the mention of wiki like system, I still find wikipedia to be my favorite knowledge source. I guess for me the ideal system has bunch of requirement you haven’t mentioned:

- mobile and desktop friendly (especially input)
- full local backup, including any metadata (so that I can always use another software, not cloud-first-with-export)
- can be purely single-person (plenty existing sharing platforms)
- it’s gotta support arbitrary nesting (I hate evernote/one note three levels to a wisiwig page rigidness)
- any others?

I also wonder whether there’s enough market for selling this software (Airtable is going after business use cases, the single-player use case makes it quite limited).
Highly unlikely. That would be a massive waste of resources.
I'd love to do this without the transcription being done in the cloud. Anyone up to date on the best way to do this?

That is maybe doable if you don't care about importing existing files. You'll spend years just getting that right.

So, we just default to all data being siphoned into the US so it has a monopoly on PII (personal identifiable information)...? Seriously, no way any asian country should trust foreign countries, that very recently invaded/enslaved them, with their data.

China, India, Russia, etc... all have domestic populations that need to flex their political muscle to achieve freedom in their respective countries, the west can't and won't save you unless there is big money involved (with that money will come foreign corruption)...

Protip: Solve your problems locally, and reap the economic benefit of building your own Indian/Chinese Google... it isn't rocket science and the exercise will be good for your people.
> "This sounds kind of naïve. It's not because of data related policies that these haven't happened."
Maybe they are not talking about data related policies but more about policies that could foster local development. Agree with your other points.
"Stagnation" in Japan is widely misunderstood and a consequence demographics. It's one of the only developed countries with a declining population: https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/i... So of course, with all else remaining equal, declining population = declining GDP. Duh! This does not imply anything is wrong with their economy.

In fact, for a fairer comparison between countries, look at the GDP per capita: https://snbchf.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GDP-Per-Capita... We see that Japan is actually growing faster than the US, Canada, New Zealand, France, etc.
Where Are the Biodegradable Alternatives to Plastic?
This is what I learned from designing data architectures:

If your data is variegated in format and form, don't look for a single tool/method solution to organize them. There is no single all-purpose organization method.

Don't start with figuring out a method to organize your information. You will end up overengineering your org method.

Instead, organize your information per "use-case". Start with a specific use-case/project (e.g. writing a blog or paper), and work backwards to figure out how to organize your data to meet the requirements of that project. Do a couple of iterations. After a couple of projects, and you will naturally discover your own data use patterns.

If you go with a super organization system on day 1, it will likely be too general and require too much effort (tagging, keywords, hierarchies, version controlled, branches, etc.) you will end up expending resources on metadata management on data that you may never ever need to retrieve and very soon you will abandon the effort.

My PKM system is very simple: a single unorganized Google Docs for quick thoughts and ideas (just bullet points), separate Google Docs files for specific projects, etc. and Dropbox for files. It's simple, searchable, and multi-device.

I also occasionally use some specialized tools like Jabref (BibTeX) for specific types of data like references, but I hardly ever write papers anymore, so these have fallen by the wayside.

I've tried wikis but due to their multipage nature, they segment knowledge too finely (often there are wiki pages hidden in deep in the link hierarchy that I forgot existed). Wikis don't fit the PKM use case that well, so these too have fallen by the wayside for me.

For me, PKMs need to in some way feel like a single broadsheet where I can easily see and touch my information without having to drill-down hierarchies and follow too many links.

p.s. I've heard good things about Evernote. It's a little too heavy for me, but many people seem to find it useful.
I use WorkFlowy[1] as my starting place for all notes, info, and tech tips. It's quickly searchable and the mobile client is easy to use. I really like the structure of bulleted lists for just about all types of information.

It doesn't really cover your file storage needs, but I think that's a different beast than notes and information. When I need to store stuff like that I dump it on Google Drive which makes search/sync/browsing dead simple/cheap.

What do you mean? This stateful, first class mixin OO metaprogrammed magic, implicitly globally mixed in to your application, makes it super easy to understand the flow of your application and the capabilities of your system. It's also super easy to see where things are defined, and the structure of methods/classes/object doesn't depend on luck / the order your program _executes_ in! Fat models are the way to go, there's obviously no problem with stateful mixins to "separate" model logic and make sure your model can do absolutely everything, because what is data, really?

Perfect for junior and senior devs alike.

edit: I forgot to include `method_missing`, which definitely isn't a design flaw, and there's absolutely no fundamental community problem that Ruby developers don't see any problem with using it.

"The idea some religion somewhere ate plants only a called it a fast, doesn’t make it a fast."

Yes, it absolutely does, and sometimes comes along with abstaining from food entirely for short times. Not only that, but there are usually exceptions for children, the sick, and the elderly. Medical fasting sometimes means "nothing" and sometimes means "clear liquids" or a combination. It all depends on context.

I was raised Eastern Orthodox. Wednesdays and Fridays were supposed to be meat-free days, but fish, eggs, dairy, and oil were fine for most. For 6 weeks before easter, no meat. For a portion of that, you weren't supposed to eat dairy, eggs, or oil either. On Sundays, you were supposed to fast before communion at church - this meant liquids only, no food.

On the other hand, some Muslims fast entirely for a month between sunrise and sunset. No food, no liquids, with exceptions for health, elderly, and children.

Common medical procedures require fasting, but it is different depending on the procedure. Need blood tests? you might be able to have water and black coffee, but other times you wont have coffee. Operation? quit food at a certain time and no liquids at a different time, and the timing varies.

Fasting means different things depending on the context it is used in.

Not only that but there are tons of image viewer, video viewer, pdf viewer etc application for framebuffer (for linux). But this begs the question whether framebuffer can be considered "terminal". Also, to me it's still perfectly "terminal", if you use X and run a terminal emulator and live inside it unless you need to see a image, video or pdf. To me, the answer to this question is "yes".

Technically you are on GMT, which is a timezone that's aligned to UTC during normal time, and is on BST (UTC+1) during DST. UTC has no DST.

In my experience, people in the UK refer to their time as "GMT" all the year round.

For anyone interested in this field should take a look at the work of Ulrik William Nash. I had the pleasure of completing a course led by Ulrik as well as writing an internal paper with him as my supervisor:

His main paper on wisdom of crowds and skew, which is rigorous (free): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

I wish Rails developers would listen and understand real flaws in the ecosystem instead of downvote. I happily admit major flaws in all languages I prefer to work in. Skinny controllers and fat models are both solving problems that never needed to exist in the first place.

True, people in the west expect every country is ready for free markets and freedom of speech from the get go...nope.

Requires a certain level of development before freedom should be introduced. Especially post colonization, where colonial corruption agents are not fully removed from power in the systems in place.
I use Dropbox to store everything. There are no files that I care fore that are not managed by Dropbox (or iCloud, for my photos/videos). I use iA Writer to create lists and documents for everything in Dropbox folders. I also have a folder for PDFs/papers (also on Dropbox). There are also folders for my study nodes ( I study codebases ), notes on personal stuff, notes on Programming, on pretty much everything.
I use Spotlight (on macOS) to instantly locate what I need among the 100s of such files.

I ‘ve tried all kinds of ideas before settling for this setup, and they all felt forced or just too much trouble for what they were to me. Text files, Dropbox, and Spotlight have been a perfect combination for my needs for years now.
Use a framebuffer application e.g. mplayer.

> .. trying to establish strong data protections ... as Europe did, while giving the government the right to obtain private information as it sees fit...

Data protections like the EU did may sound good. But it took the EU years to develop the framework, another 4 years before into effect, and even more time before it's fully adopted.

India doesn't exactly have a record for graceful administration (thinking of the currency debacle). And if you do this with less elegance than what the EU did.. you risk creating a huge (expensive) mess..

Tech platforms bring a lot of value. By enabling commerce and many local enterprises. Trying to move too fast could have very bad consequences. Even the slow stuff the EU did, was somewhat of a mess..

And then let's not even get started on the mess access to private information without a warrant would bring..

I hope they move slow make something with less negative side effects than what the EU did. Then this could be good.

Did anyone think Mastodon was safe from mobs? What Twitter has already made clear is the scope of the problem of social media moderation in an open-follow model. It's actually a core problem to be solved, VC economics do not incentivize solving it, and solving it in a distributed system is potentially orders of magnitude harder. The bottom line is that it's not easy when 1 out of a 1000 people can make life miserable, and many of these people having nothing better to do in their lives then to just stir the shit all day every day.

Personally I think broad social media will inevitably devolve into a Bladerunner-like cesspool, and all meaningful social activity will move to smaller, closed, or at least heavily-moderated groups.
It's the interesting effect of social networks: instead of connecting people they do something else.
Being able to zoom into lists of lists is Workflowy's best feature
For example, new college students that had used Chrome OS at high school and families who wanted the robustness Chrome OS offers are looking for machines that are more attractive, use better materials, and are a bit faster and more powerful. The $600 machines fit that role

That's really the takeaway here. GSuite has gotten its hooks deep into elementary/secondary education and now that's starting to sweep into the college market.

Families also shop for new laptops around the holidays, and they'll want something that dovetails with the work kids are doing at school. If the choice is an iOS or Chrome device, the choice becomes a lot easier when they're nearly the same price.
This is still sort of the mainstream view on this, but I think a return to monolithic Rails-style frameworks is coming. Microframeworks and especially Node got a lot of popularity, and then all the microservice stuff started to get popular and overused as well, and ultimately this is leading a lot of people to do unnecessary work and ending up with a custom solution that isn't as good as what they could've had off the shelf.

As for modern front end trends, Rails is getting better in this regard, especially since 5.0. Most people typically have a separate frontend and backend codebase anyways, so in that sense Rails API is all you need, and that's baked in now.
