Yes, absolutely.

Not only are they usually possible to run offline, if they are not blockchain-based, but they tend to be faster and scale better than traditional web applications.

People usually move through three layers or more of "web" on a daily basis. We have the personal web at home, one at our office and one global one. But moving between these three usually requires specialized applications that are built with roaming in mind, if you want this.

If we instead would build our applications with something like IPFS, we can have applications that transparently move between these domains and works everywhere, without having separate applications or extra development effort.

I think at this point, most technology people have realized the faulty model we built the web on, compared to the internet. Slowly the rest is waking up to the fact that the web could be better in every way, but it'll take time to move everything.
hi, i would just want to ask a few questions if that's ok.

i see you use ck editor, how was integrating it with page builder? because i was making something similar some time ago and it was a pain to find a solution for inline editor. and how do you host users projects ? i mean is it all in one one virtual machine or something?

traditional white flight (1970's style) mostly ended in the early 2000's when traffic got bad enough and baby boomers started to age out of power. It's an outdated term in most cities I think.

Reddit has started pivoting to cater to the moderate users a few years ago, and is still working on shutting down the more extreme segments (iirc there was a ban wave not long ago). The "edgelords" have moved to Voat. In time that one will probably die out from a lack of engagement, or be shut down by legal procedures for hosting illegal content.
This is why I like theme parks.[1] It's sad because in America we've largely relegated what should be a normal living environment to fascimiles of imaginary places.

Actually, I live in San Francisco and the "downtowns" of each neighborhood do allow kids some freedom away from their parents (e.g. to dart in and out of stores and restaurants without waiting for the parent), but it's limited to a single block unless you want to risk being run over. Hit-and-runs occur here regularly, unfortunately, because the city is just barely pedestrian friendly enough that pedestrians feel comfortable, but not friendly enough that cars are actually forced to slow down (e.g. streets too wide). If car and pedestrian are not both carefully paying attention, accidents happen.

[1] My wife doesn't like theme parks. But where she's from you never let kids out of sight, regardless, so they offer little respite for her.

If they don’t not only will they get ripped off (losing the benefit of their good/unique design) the competitor may patent the feature and then Apple would have to spend millions of dollars and years to overturn the patent and hopefully get attorneys fees.

It sucks, but it’s a perfectly sane business decision. They open themselves to liability if they don’t.

This is precisely correct, and well put. Advocates of Net Neutrality are trying to solve what is an antitrust issue, but not using antitrust law to do it.

I think it's because most NN advocates have a bias that regulation is a good thing, so of course regulating ISPs will be the right way to make the internet better.

However keep in mind that it is regulators who have granted the last mile monopolies to their crony firms and who have helped prevent last mile competition.

Notably one thing the FCC has done of late is to remove restrictions on reconfiguring wires on utility poles that benefitted incumbents. Now under the new rules, an ISP who is adding lines to existing utility poles is authorized to move/modify the equipment already on the pole when doing the installation.

Previously the rules allowed incumbent firms months to schedule a technician to go out to move the equipment around, which caused many delays for new firms trying to compete.

My internet service is pretty bad (XFinity) and Net Neutrality is not the solution, the solution is more ISPs to choose from. I'd much rather have three or four fiber providers to choose from than the (bad) choice between XFinity and AT&T. There are only two choices because of regulators, not in spite of them.

Exploring Clang Tooling, Part 0: Building Your Code with Clang
I don't know anything about the Raleigh project but some other thoughts on maybe why Church St works:

- Burlington is the biggest city in VT, and being on Lake Champlain and relatively close to the best ski areas in the state, it attracts a lot of tourists year round

- A ton of local businesses downtown, urban/residential neighborhoods are also very close

- A fair amount of parking (multiple parking garages, nearby on-street parking and parking lots)

- There's City Hall Park, and the town promotes the 'culture', e.g. allowing street vendors and performers, and with the recentish ban on smoking, it's pushed most of the bums into the alleys/side streets

I really dislike cars and being around cars. They are noisy. They ruin the air quality of a city. They take up massive amounts of space through parking that could be better used. They force the public to subsidize car owners. They kill people through both air pollution and through collisions. They dominate a city's life in an extremely unattractive way.

I base a lot of my existence around avoiding cars and living in places where I can have a pleasant walk without having to deal with traffic. To the point where I recently moved from Chicago, Illinois to Portland, Oregon because Portland is a much more pedestrian friendly city. And it shows. You walk around the city and it's actually alive and working.

In Portland, people don't have to have their children on leashes because every street isn't a 4 lane highway with constant traffic that is disrespectful to people's space. People are strolling down the streets and wandering into businesses. In Portland drivers slow down and wave you across the street instead of swerving around you at 40 miles an hour.

In Chicago a common occurrence was for a car to decide to make a red light, so they would make a turn into a crowd of pedestrians who are crossing the street and "shoot the gap" without slowing down, with maybe 3 feet of clearance on either side. People would open doors without a second thought and door bikers. Trucks would make dangerous turns into bikers and frequently kill them ( A young woman was recently killed this way, and I once had to jump off of my bike and drag it onto the sidewalk to avoid being run over ).

Cars drivers seem to enter this "magic circle" where it's fine to do dumb and extremely dangerous things because you are driving. When you are in a car, all behavior is acceptable.

Decide to teach the biker a lesson by turning into them? They won't charge you with anything.

Swerve into a crowd of pedestrians? It's fine normal behavior.

Make a blind turn into an alley and have to slam on the breaks to avoid running into a pedestrian? Totally A-OK chief! Great work!

As has been pointed out elsewhere, a lot of European cities do not have this problem. When visiting France, I went to the city of Strasbourg where they have a very nice little "park and ride" system where you park your fume-spewing, space-taking machine and park it in the PARKING AREA, instead of letting you drag it into their beautiful city.

strongtowns.org has a lot of great information about how the US road infrastructure is, to put it bluntly, a dumb and bad experiment that has failed.
I find this question very bizarre, what's the hell is wrong with riding a bus with kids? Why is it "more difficult" or any different from just riding the metro yourself? I rode the bus regularly from birth until 7 or 8 when my parents bought a second car and still rode sporadically with family or baby sitters from 7 or 8 until I was a teenager. I started riding again by myself or with friends as a teenager to go places and also rode the bus to work until I bought a car at 17. Riding with children is exactly the same as riding by yourself, except you have children next to you. Children under five usually ride for free too, at least they did in my city.

As far as sticking kids on bikes, you got many options:

Okay, these use cases are very cool, and I suddenly see a lot more relevance. Thanks very much for the enlightenment; I reread the article with newfound interest, while I sadly ruminated how sad it was that so many new areas of research are announced without any way for me to play with them too. "Where's the source code?" I thought... as my eyes fell upon the last words of the article,

It's a self-enhancing loop - you enjoy something because it comes naturally, be it sport or mental activity, so you keep doing it, find joy at improving yourself, competing with others etc. Now imagine the opposite, the results are exactly... opposite.

We all have high potential, most of us never come closer to reaching it 100%, but to think we are all equal in our skills from birth is a bit naive and definitely not true, as experienced by probably everybody during their lifetime.

Life ain't fair since the start, we can work hard at overcoming our limits, and that's all great. But so far if 2 people put in same amount of effort, the ones with better genes always wins.
Elon Musk has evaporated the public's trust in him.
The bigger issue with lending in Mexico is a bit deeper than the sketchiness of some of the big banks. In particular, there is no reliable credit score system, so determining credit worthiness is a crap shoot. There is actually a credit reporting agency, but nobody reports to it, so nobody is really sure why they're there.

A lot of citizens also (understandably) don't trust the banks and keep most of their money at home. As a result, there's very little data available to make credit determinations on, since you can't even use most people's record of good standing with their bank accounts, so the process for getting a loan is generally sit in a room with a group of bankers and try to convince them you're a swell guy/gal and won't lose their money. This results in extremely high default rates, because people are good at misrepresenting themselves and lying about their intentions [citation needed].

With such high default rates you only really have two options; improve your credit worthiness determination process somehow, or increase interest rates and have an effective (if unethical) collections process. With some data protection laws making the creditworthiness determination route a legal minefield, most banks in Mexico opted for the latter. Our entire business strategy was to take the other route.

For those wondering, this works in every base ≥ 5, according to the original paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.06208v2

Every time I see something like this that is dependent on base-10 representation, I'm always curious to know whether it generalizes, or if it's a quirk specific to base-10 representation. For example, being able to tell if a number is divisible by 2 or 5 by only looking at the last digit.

Isn't this a different product?
This article is about a city that doesn't suck, largely because it was made car-free. Not much "noise" when cars are gone.
Traffic shaping does exactly that. It prioritizes traffic in a way that makes sense for each protocol. So yes, the point is that being aware of the protocols lets the shaping create more perceived bandwidth out of thin air.

This is the reality as long as we have "residential quality" broadband, which is more like a finance product arbitraging bandwidth, intended to lower cost and minimize (but not reduce) the impact of congestion. If you want dedicated bandwidth the price is significantly higher.

I wish I could afford a dedicated high bandwidth circuit as my residential connection. I can't, but I think that ISPs are better able to choose what QoS makes sense than regulators are.
>Tasty, cheap, nutritious

Pick two.
You can still do traffic shaping under NN, you just have to do it with equality and not act like a mafia doing racketeering with your customers.

Some nice packets you got there, would be a shame if someone... shaped them.

Dictatorships are fine when the dictator is wise and benevolent and acts in the best interest of his/her people.

When they start acting in their own best interest is when it becomes a problem.

We're just at the beginning of the non-net neutrality era and carriers are testing the waters.

The market favors commercial interests, so we will begin to see some of the more negative predicted outcomes -- ie Amazon paying Boost Mobile to not throttle their traffic(while throttling their competitors)
Is your issue primarily with the ads or Nietzsche's "ramblings"?
Thanks for the clarification! Strong moral code though, I haven't seen one non-official car that day.
Throttling is generally defined as purposefully slowing some (or all) traffic, in the absence of network congestion.

That you may have a faster connection to one provider than another doesn't indicate throttling, unless you can show that the network paths are essentially the same and the slower provider isn't the one restricting the data rate.

Certainly, almost any last mile congestion should affect all providers; but most content providers are going try to deliver content from as close to the user as possible; either through CDN boxes deployed inside ISPs networks if possible, or at a nearby place where the ISP or its transit partners peer. I'm aware that Netflix, Youtube, and Amazon all run their own CDN programs, so it's very likely that they're interconnecting to the ISP on separate connections, and without insider knowledge from the ISPs or the CDNs, it's impossible to know what the congestion looks like there. CDN installations also have capacity limitations, and take time to upgrade. It's not unreasonable to assume that some content providers are running their networks hotter than others.

In the years since the Internet has become mainstream, people seem to have forgotten the bad old days of downloading a large file, and trying to figure out which mirror would serve the file the fastest; which usually meant figuring out which mirror was both physically close, and well connected to the downloader's network.

The European Union versus the Internet
This is a really good question.

I'll list a few in no particular order:

From my perspective, cardiology for a while was misunderstanding the contribution made to CVD from exogenous cholesterol (what you eat) vs. endogenous cholesterol (what your body makes/transports around). Initially there was a lot of focus on reducing dietary cholesterol. This isn't "Wrong" with a capital "W", but emerging evidence seems to indicate that dietary cholesterol doesn't play as big of a result as a person's endogenous cholesterol processes. However, it's still good to eat a lower cholesterol diet.

A lot of the resistance to LDL-C evidence comes from people who want patients to eat less refined sugar. This is 100% a great idea; refined sugar is bad for you metabolically for a number of reasons. However, it's not an either-or proposition and I can't understand why people keep making this case.

Finally, I think we are still working out the role chronic inflammatory processes play in cardiovascular disease. They are an important component of the atherosclerotic process and one of the three main "knobs" we have available to twist with medication (the major other ones being blood pressure via antihypertensives and LDL via statins/PCSK9is).

However, our typical anti-inflammatory drugs don't really work for cardiovascular disease yet the most common ones work on the COX pathway, which (I don't want to get into it, but it's pretty well studied) in chronic use actually causes increased risk for things like heart attack via upregulation of various prostaglandins that you don't want upregulated.

There's some really interesting work on monoclonal antibodies targeting different inflammatory pathways that seems promising, but it's (1) still a ways in the future and (2) seems to be less powerful (so far) than is managing BP and LDL.

Edit: Also, if you had asked me five years ago, I'd say that the evidence for the pleiotropic effects of statins (e.g., effects of statins on things other than LDL cholesterol) were pretty interesting. And they were, 5 years ago! However, a lot of good evidence has come out since then showing that most of the effects of statins can be attributed by their action on LDL. It seems like the pleiotropic effects of statin therapy are getting less and less significant as we study them more. For me, this emerging evidence was actually kind of disappointing as I had been planning a few studies to look at statin pleiotropy.
I always say Reddit is a combination of terrible content from Facebook, the comments from Twitter and the redesigns from Snap and Digg.

I've actually gone back to Digg for interesting stuff on the web. Interesting content, no comments and it usually has about 20-40 articles a day so I dont feel the need to check it every 5 minutes.
>>This article does not in any way provide us with enough information to conclude whether it was a good licensing deal for either party. It just tells a romanticized Steve Jobs business story.

I suspect a lot of deals are done this way. Joe talks to Kevin and legal sets it up. Done in a heartbeat, just in case. Whether it worked out or not...who knows but Apple went full speed ahead selling and didn't end up in court battles. (yeah, they might have won but it's just $1 mil)
I think you misunderstood - I'm not getting entries in an "email database", I'm getting evaluations so whatever scoring metric they use, I'll be listed as above average. (And this doesn't necessarily contradict your cynicism regarding political equations - unless EVERY position is decided politically, a lot of positions will be evaluated by the metric that might have been determined to aid those that are being politically protected - so if I have the company "Ace awards" and evaluation scores that those people have, I too get to keep my job, particularly in workplaces where you can challenge a firing/demotion or are asked to provide support for getting a promotion/raise.

But safety is only part of the concept, it's more like "accuracy". More than once I've been "the only one that knows XXX system" (and yes, that's bad, but there are very few companies where that doesn't happen) - but that's a statement that people on the ground know and people above don't. This sort of approach reduces that disconnect.

Still though, nothing is 100%, this was just a low-effort option. If one wishes to assume that nothing matters except the schmooze, go for it - I prefer this option.
I'm not sure I follow your logic - it doesn't take a deep investigation to discover throttling, it takes a deep investigation to prove that poor performance is caused by throttling. It doesn't take a deep investigation to see that your cash register is short, but it might take one to prove that an employee is taking money from the drawer.

And we're not seeing network capacity greatly increased through sensible traffic shaping - that's an assertion made without evidence. If that were the case, we'd expect different video providers to be shaped the same way, and we'd expect the throttling to change based on time of day and peak traffic, which the researchers did not observe.
As a point of fact, there are plenty of episodes of Kitchen Nightmares where the main reason for failure seems to be the owner meddling too much with the people who are actually doing the work.
What exactly are these perceived downsides? Netflix is operational and seems to be doing just fine. And if an ISP outright stopped supporting it, the majority of people would immediately find an alternative ISP that did not.
> just load all the classes for the databases you want to support

you cannot distribute some connectors (e.g., the oracle connector or the mysql connector), in the case of jdbc anyway.

And it's not always possible to know ahead of time the classes you want to pre-load, if your application is like eclipse with a plugin architecture which can allow users to install custom plugins.
