Only the KMT believes that, while the pan greens (including the current president) do not. The KMT has always represented the mainlanders that came to Taiwan in 1949, while the other party represents the Taiwanese who revolted against the KMT from the onset. That division continues to this day.
Does that apply to forks of the project? Or is the only way to test the project is to open the PR and check the build status on the upstream?

Personally, I would like to know that my code is in a working state before I actually submit it to the maintainer for review.
Seems a big part of it was the software rendering of the filter: blur(5px) in Firefox, where other browsers are doing this in hardware. I've removed that CSS class for Firefox specifically now, and it's performing a lot better. The profiler now says 60% idle, 14% graphics, whereas previously there was no idle and it was 85% graphics.
I’ve never worked from a real office or even had a “real” job.

This doesn't outright invalidate the main thrust of the piece, but it does perhaps explain the rose colored glasses he appears to have for the benefits of a normal job.

I was a homemaker for many years. Then I had a corporate job. I've done remote freelance work since.

Jobs can be crazy making, soul sucking and put you in awful situations you have no control over. People put up with it because they need a paycheck.

My mom was a homemaker for a long time and also did freelance work from home for years before going to work. I'm perhaps more prepared than most to live this way because I saw it growing up.

I'm all for finding ways to improve the status quo. That can be done without injecting so much judgy drama into the problem space.

He begins with talking about leaving a girlfriend and moving elsewhere and how miserable he was. He basically blames his misery on doing remote work.

I lived in the same house from age 3 until I was an adult. I got married, he joined the army and we went to outer first duty station. I was miserable. It was horrible. It took me years to stop blaming Texas and realize I would have been miserable anywhere.

It was a huge shock to my life to move someplace new. I had no coping skills at all for such a scenario.

You can't blame remote work for the misery of combining multiple major shocks like dumping a girlfriend and leaving town. That's not realistic. You can have that same scenario without remote work, such as by joining the military.

I do occasionally have to stop and make a conscious effort to count my blessings. Working the way I do allowed me to repeatedly move pretty much at will and that has benefited me tremendously. It helped me solve problems that would have been much more nightmarish if I needed to job hunt to move.

I wish him well in meeting his goals of improving remote work for his people. But I respectfully suggest he first disentangle some things from it in his mind that he is conflating as due to working remotely.
Apple sold audio books through Audible for over a decade and you could sync your purchases back and forth. They were forced to stop because of regulators.

But as far as your mom being confused. Isn’t confusing enough to use a Chromecast that requires a phone with a TV instead of using a remote?

I can’t possibly see how it would be a better user experience to have to use a phone to control a TV than to be able to use native apps and a remote.

If you are going to stay in the Android ecosystem, at least get something like the Nvidia Shield.
Sorry for the tardiness of my response, I have been doing other things including sleeping.

It does answer the question in that it appears that Julia, as a language, doesn't provide you with much to start with, not even the bare bones. I have seen commentaries back in the 1980's that discussed such language designs. It makes for some uniformity but does require much work to be done to create the basic infrastructure that would allow and enable others to use these kinds of languages out of the box. Interesting in some ways, I suppose.
If everyone quit their job because of a moral dilemma, no one would be working, especially in tech (children make the parts for the things we build on and for). Quitting just opens the door for another employee. That employee may or may not care about the issue. The person that just quit did care and was in a better position to actually make a change. They're supposed to strike, not quit.
Seems like I recall similar security issues being found years and years ago, back when ESS was still called Diebold and their CEO was getting in hot water for saying at a GOP political fundraiser that he would “deliver Ohio to the GOP.” What’s old is new again.

I ask myself time and again why voting systems aren’t federally regulated “critical infrastructure,” with source code available for public review.
The privilege is around ability, not cost. No less than half of my coworkers are constantly complaining about how broken their bodies are, you expect these people to just hop on a bike and go?

This view of the situation is one advanced by PRC.

I doubt very many Taiwanese people actually care about leading China or believe that ROC will ever become the de facto government over all of China.

The only reason that Taiwan gives the perception that it supports re-unification / "one China" (part of which includes maintaining its claims over mainland China) is to maintain good political and economic relations with China. Because opposing re-unification would piss off China.
Aren't Android phones all developed in transit-oriented societies in Asia? And they're even bigger...
I agree with Windows - it's screwy.
Closing lid and putting it in backpack - 50% of that simple action resulted in laptop being hot like a frying pan when i take it out few hours after.

I traced it down to wireless mouse - it apparently "wake up" laptop as soon as mouse pointer movement detected and it "awakens" itself and boots itself with lid closed in a backpack.

So my sequence to close lid on Windows laptop:

- Disconnect all wires coming to it.

- Turn off wireless mouse.

- Close lid.
You entirely ignored the part about clicking on phone numbers in web pages. It's the same with any app. I should be able to use whichever contacts app I like, whether it is a unified contacts app, my LinkedIn contacts, my Facebook contacts, the maps application, etc. Any time I click a phone number to make a call, it should appear to come from my Google Voice number. Copying and pasting is horrible experience just to make a call.
That makes it worse. Too many names are based on insider-jokes, too many of it just scares away noobies.

posh, I agree, with the other poster, is a fabulous name for something like this
Where do they draw the line? Is a person with a PhD in physics who writes analytics software credited? Or only someone with an official research program/grant?

It seems that there can't be that many people actively involved in the paper, but everyone needs to be on, e.g. the Higgs boson paper, not referenced in a supporting work on, e.g. a detector, or their career is trashed.

In our lab we always push for people to write up what they are working on, which may or may not be 'original'. Usually it turns out that there is much innovative or original work, which without documentation the experiment could not be repeated/analysis would have been different, etc. And that kind of tech note/report should be referenced by all the experiments that tool/technique, even if they are not co-authors of the derived work. For example, an experimenter uses visualisation system Y in producing report X: X->Y reference. The vis system uses FFTW documented in report Z: Y->Z. The source and binaries and build chain for the expt and analysis are in VM images archived with the data.
Self defense is easy. So too is violence in defense of others. What becomes harder, particularly in modern war, is killing people who are no immediate threat: the enemy asleep in their barracks. Harder still is killing people working in something like a munitions factory, the people who build things that other people might one day threaten you with. You cannot rely on emotional crutch of self defense in such tenuous circumstances.
There are different stages of composition in music. By the time you're playing music, you ideally should not think this way.

But it's nice to have a visual way of seeing substitutions that work with your progression as you write music.

Having an enumeration of all of the possible voicings is really nice.

When I looked at this (as a bass player), I didn't even really notice the fret board. This application is applicable to all instruments.
the state tracks your economic activity and personal behavior and habits and uses them to calculate something akin to a credit score, but which is used to restrict civil rights (travel, education opportunities, etc) if you are perceived as unreliable.

> From the program, the Chinese SCS will be fully implemented starting in 2020 and will be made mandatory for every citizen. Once implemented, every citizen will be rewarded, or punished, on the basis of their behavior. Some types of punishments can be: flight ban, exclusion from private schools, slow internet connection, exclusion from high prestige work, exclusion from hotel, registration on a public blacklist.

Not just the capacity, the verifiability and redundancy it can support.

I am a little bit surprised that people at Hackernews are so hostile against technology. Sure, there are some attack vectors, but we have 4-5 decades of security research and engineering to mitigate or at least detect that.

Don't throw away the baby with the bathwater.
That's the thing, I've never lived somewhere that gets to -6 and also runs a real chance of multi day power outages.

I'm sure it's a different story in some parts of the world, of course.
Bear with me against the impression of pandering, but I see an analogy between the author's prescriptions and "product-market fit". The power of that term is that it discards the notion of an optimal product or perfect audience - the two can only be right for each other. In the same way, problems with polycausal phenomena might admit specific solutions (Prozac for depression) without being fully understandable.

The correlary is that successful products can litter the world with unintended consequences - as can isolated discoveries.
I mostly agree with you (and upvoted your comment), but I think modern KMT doesn't really believe that either, they just say they "believe it" to maintain healthy cross-strait relations.

KMT values economy over opposing "one China". I would say DPP values eventual independence more, but they still recognize the economic ramifications and thus seek to develop economic relations with other countries to reduce reliance on China (but how successful this has been is debated).

Anyway even DPP says they support "one China" to some degree, they're just more willing than KMT to risk supporting it to a lesser degree.
People think libraries are about books, but libraries are about librarians, and many librarians are heroes.
Your second link is about data collection that Google apps also do on iPhones. It doesn't happen if you use a different search provider or disable sending your location for Google searches, as I stated and you quoted.

Your first link is about accidental collection that no longer occurs according to the article.
Just to play devil's advocate, why shouldn't the decision be up to the community that provides land and infrastructure to the business on the terms of following local regulations?

I'm not sure it's so cut and dry to assume that the individualist "free" "market" approach is always optimal. What are we optimizing for? If we're optimizing for freedom, freedom for who to do what? Freedom from what?

This reminded me of an even crazier, and quite moving, story that appeared here a few years ago. It's so similar that at first I thought the stories must be the same, but they're not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9462885
Agreed.

There's definitely a good demand for a modern shell scripting language but fish is an existing solution that is saner than bash/zsh.

I don't use fish as a shell but for shell scripts only as it acted a bit weird on me, though it's possible I didn't search enough but zsh can cover pretty much all I want from fish with plugins.
That metaphor doesn't work, because there is no (obvious) equivalent to double-entry bookkeeping for a vote. There's no counterparty.

As history shows, double-entry bookkeeping does not entirely prevent fraud, but as history also shows, it does significantly raise the bar.

Other people reference other cryptographic possibilities but it's still not clear you get that counterparty advantage or any equivalent as cleanly from any of them.

I try to speak precisely, so I chose not to say that it does not on purpose. Maybe someone could convince me. But I've seen too many games and incredibly subtle backdoors to have too much confidence in such things. Nor am I sure how to convince the general public that they are correct, whereas convincing them paper ballots work is easy, and they intuitively understand the requisite security measures. It is not sufficient for a voting scheme merely to obtain the right number, it must also be trusted by the losers, or it's a waste of time.
>Parents can be rather selfish too, most can't wait until their kids turn 18 and leave the house. The want to live alone too.

This is the worst aspect of it. The hypocrisy! When I was young and naive, I believed parents loved to have the kids around. Oh boy. Don't they right? The only problem is that they want us still to be kids, and won't leave the household to you and let you live a full adult life there. If you are going to live with them, they want you to depend on them, and they want you to let them be the one who runs the house. All the sob stories you hear, when you are growing up, about kids leaving their parents won't tell you that side of the story.

So if you are a kid in the same situation, and have philosophical/ideological difference about how to life a human adult life, DO NOT PLAN ON living with your parents if objectively they don't need it. Don't do it becuase of some romantic notion of the "right thing" that the mainstream narrative has fed you. *ITS FUCKING BULLSHIT!"...

Who cares if the source code is public or not? There is never going to be a way to verify that it is running on the machine when you are standing in front of it.
Thanks for your offer... at this point I want to keep doing it myself, I think when I run out of time/energy I will probably open source it. If you want you can message me your contact details (you can message the Facebook page http://fb.com/acolytefight maybe) and if I change my mind in the near future I will at least have your contact details.
It's the beginning of the Singularity, though people are not realizing it. Hivemind collectives are already growing exponentially, with extreme subcultures that are essentially customized filter bubbles. It will become steadily more impractical to resist the temptation to join one. You will be punished and an outcast (socially and economically) for not being apart of a hivemind consciousness. People are already deferring the vast majority of their cognition to machines. Eventually, I predict that as technology improves, cybernetics will become an inevitability. So there are an infinite amount of truths now, which is why I don't bother to seek something so fragmented (i.e. outside of my echo chamber).
Can you explain what you mean by this-

> If you choose the frequency 440hz, jump down one 7-semitone step and up 5, you have an A major scale

Also I have one more question about - when making chords using the 3rd and 5th step, for a note on the right boundary of this n <-> 2n interval, I would jump into 2n <-> 4n interval, right? But I'd I were not using chords then is "all" (simplified) music made in only only one x <-> 2x range and it's not crossed?

Another question- why do pianos have different black and white keys? Do you plan on doing a blog post that explains how "your " explanation of music theory fits various instruments? I've always wanted to understand music from a mathematical perspective and your post was eye opening!

I am going to try out your tool once I get hold of a computer.

Not all Americans conform to those stereotypes.

My sons still live with me. The oldest is 31.

We have good excuses that are culturally acceptable. But I basically don't care what other people think.
Yes, that's true, but at the same time, flip phones remain(ed) popular in Japan for years after smartphones took over the West due to their physical keypads and small size.
There is more than just the owner and consumer involved here. it also includes any staff that the owner employs.

If you, as an owner, decide that you want to open 7 days a week, and you have staff that are happy to do 6 days and want/desire the 7th day off, what do you do in relation to those staff? Sack them? Employ others for that 7th day who are willing to work on that day and keep the others on for the other 6 days? Pay penalty rates for the privilege of having your business open 7 days a week?

I have come across many owners that would have no problems just straight up sacking people who are not interested in killing themselves for the business owner. They expect you to work under all and every condition that the business owner puts in place - seeing that since they have given someone a job then that employee is owned by the owner. I have even worked for some such people.

As the business owner, are you willing to work 7 days a week in your own business at the expense of your family life, health, relaxation, etc? These questions need to be carefully considered in a very personal way for there are much broader consequences than you may think.
Inexcusable that an uncompleted update disables -anything- ... but CR reported that it did indicate an unsafe condition:

Once the installation was done, the center screen showed a message that said: “Update did not complete successfully. Please wait for a new update to be sent to your car.”
USS Alabama is totally worth a visit, but it is a battleship, not carrier.
"Debt: The First 5,000 Years" by David Shaefer. Top marks!

An exploration of the origin of money, and what it means. Money is a pure invention, invented for purposes now almost forgotten. Currency was invented thousands of years later, for military purposes. The book is full of surprises.
Well done TechCrunch, another US website that has a bullshit policy where you can't opt out of all their third party tracking and data sharing with "Foundation Partners", just piss off.

Guess there's no more TechCrunch for me. Mind you, no great loss.
On the Taiwan side, you are mistaking lip service for conviction. The government now mostly takes that position due to threat of violence if they don’t.
I actually miss the days of bastardized short words as product names. Yeh some of them got a bit ridiculous, but they were unique and easily searchable. Flickr, Google, etc. People were creating brands that stood out, were memorable, and they owned their entire results pages.

Now we're using common nouns as names for everything and it has completely broken the ability to search for both the product AND the common nouns.
I've always been thinking there can be a better shell like having a split pane to show the list of command options with descriptions as you start typing in the command or show snippets of a preset of command options that does task X as in search by use case instead of going to stackoverflow every time.

I think the way people handle shell, as in typing commands on a dumb shell, has not improved for decades and I don't know why. The only thing they help without explicitly asking is with autocompletion.
Combined with using NYPL to book free museum tickets through Culture Pass, the library card really is a fantastic thing.

You can use their keyboard customization program to do this, so for example you could have a blender mode that when active lets you use a certain group of keys as the numpad
A solar observatory in New Mexico is evacuated and no one will say why
Because the only people who can say realistically that it's a significant problem are coddled Northern Europeans who have never been to a single unsafe place in their lives.

The Bronx at night is unsafe. Souther Buenos Aires at night is unsafe. Lima at any time of the day is unsafe. With some luck a few neighborhoods in Paris and London might not be great.

I have literally walked all over every large German urban center at night. The only problem it has is the rampant alcoholism and the visibility of the most marginalized, which by the rest of the global standards (and the standards of the same country a few decades ago) are nothing. Seriously, literally, nothing. There's hardly other places in the world that are safer than these countries.

Your cataclysmic rhetoric does not bode with reality. At all.
If you do it to make more money down the line, then it's less about learning anything and more about having the right names on your resume, so shop around for brand names. The more Ivy-league sounding, the better.

If you actually want to lean something, you have to check some available lit and see if you actually care about the problems CS people are trying to solve. Just because CS has something vague to do with all things Valley, programming, six-figure salary, hacking the Matrix and other shiny stuff doesn't mean you're gonna like it or end up valuing it.
Good that they didn't choose slash delimiters.
Blame that on Google. If you use Chrome on iOS, they already give you a choice of which maps app to use and which mail client to use. There is no reason they couldn’t give you the choice of how to handle Tel links.

If Google wanted to since they already have all of the apps, you could completely stay in the Google ecosystem on iOS - Browser, mail client, google voice, etc.
My understanding is that acupuncture evolved from earlier bloodletting practices which were common throughout Eurasia.
Yeah, I've got that feedback from some people. Something I've realised is that everyone is that there are two broad categories that this game looks like it could be similar to:
* A twin stick shooter
* A MOBA
And I've got two distinctly opposing sets of feedback from those two groups. MOBAs have long cooldowns and you move and shoot with the mouse. Twin Stick Shooters let you move and shoot using separate controls (it's common to run away and shoot forward at the same time) and have very short (almost non-existent) cooldowns. I'm a MOBA person, and I based this game off my happy experiences with Warlock, the WarCraft 3 map, so I've ended up making something which is more like that. I think the genres are fun for different reasons and I can't please them both.
Yes, Gonk is composed of the Android kernel, hardware abstraction layer and some userspace daemons.

With HIDL it should be easier to build a clean abstraction on top of any Android base starting at Oreo.
