I will say I understand the benefits of standardization, but the MagSafe has saved me so many times. I wish all companies would have adopted that. I have kids and a dog, and many times my power outlets are not in the most convenient of places meaning I need to connect to them using an extension cord, etc. That thing has been pulled out of my machine more times than I can count, and I fear even thinking about how many times my laptop would have been pulled on the floor, port broken etc. without it. It is absolutely one of my favorite features.
Amazon is also not fighting for customers, afaik. If something goes wrong, they dump you instructions on how to make it a task for the local police. And then they repeat this again and again.

Yes, Conversations (Android) and ConverseJS (web) are on par with - or better than - the commercial apps like Whatsapp. On ios, Chatsecure is pretty close.
In addition to flags for functional changes, I'd say "design refactors to be incremental". It takes some care and thought, but almost every refactor I've seen can be framed as small steps that can each be immediately integrated into master. For example, when porting code from Python 2 to 3, you can change individual files to be 2/3 compatible until the whole codebase is, then flip the version without touching the source code, then get rid of 2/3 compatibility code. This tends to be safer and more reviewable than trying to rewrite the world on a separate long-lived branch and then land it all at once.

That's a smart move by Mailgun, I'm sure Sendgrid will get there. That's the kind of thing people don't think about with enterprise customers.

- Compliance
- Support
- Security (not keeping things secure - offering custom security options. SAML, user roles, permissions, IP whitelisting, etc)
- Customization

Building to support big complex customers is hard and if you get it right from a product and sales perspective, the inertia you can build is massive.
Sounds like a great idea!

It is far more likely for such a competitor to turn around and launch a censored version in the US, just changing the censorship criteria. Can you imagine the impact of a partnership between the Murdoch empire and a search engine with ideological censorship built-in?

From the OSI FAQ:

Can I restrict how people use an Open Source licensed program?

No. The freedom to use the program for any purpose is
part of the Open Source Definition. Open source licenses
do not discriminate against fields of endeavor.

It is strange to me that Mongo would even couch such a change in its "open source-ness" when the FAQ from OSI specifically calls out what they have done as something that should _not_ be done.

> Prolog's API (and syntax) became a formal standard only in 1995, but Edinburgh Prolog was widely used way before

As was Quintus prolog, the other big "camp". A SICStus (Edinburgh camp) description: "The ISO Prolog standardization effort started late, too late. The Prolog dialects had already diverged: basically, there were as many dialects as there were implementations, although the Edinburgh tradition, which had grown out of David H.D. Warren’s work, was always the dominant one. Every vendor had already invested too much effort and acquired
too large a customer base to be prepared to make radical changes to syntax and semantics. Instead, every vendor would defend his own dialect against such radical changes. Finally, after the most vehement opposition had been worn down in countless acrimonious committee meetings, a compromise document that most voting countries could live with was submitted for balloting and was approved. Although far from perfect," [...] "contains things that would better have been left out, and lacks other dearly needed items," https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.5640 The later took more years.

Similar 'incompatible dialects' balkanization afflicted other languages. CommonLisp and R?RS were the lisp equivalents of ISO Prolog. Acrimonious committees.

It's happily become increasingly hard to imagine. A general pattern across languages of nested continuums of incompatibility. No sharing infrastructure. Diverse tooling. Hand documentation of dependencies. Each company and school with their own environment, that had to be manually dealt with in any struggle to borrow code from them. Small islands of relative language compatibility around the many implementations, nested in less compatible camps, nested in a variously incompatible "language" ecology. More language family than language. To download is to port. With no way to share the NxN effort, so everyone else gets to do it again for themselves.

Perhaps an analogy might be python 2 and 3 being camps that aren't going away, with largely separate communities (like openbsd and linux), with no language test suites and variously incompatible implementations (cpython, jython, ironpython). No BDFL, and an acrimonious committee process struggling to negotiate and nail to the floor a CommonPython standard. And far far fewer people spread among it all, so each little niche is like its own resource-starved little language. Imagine each web framework community struggling to create/port it's own python standard library and tooling.

"Stuck with" is a colloquialism. It's just saying that she'd planned to make X profit and instead will end up with a loss. There's plenty of ways to make a loss: sell it at a discount (near or below what you bought for) or spend so much effort making sales that your opportunity cost is more than your profit. The article's point isn't about how she's going to get rid of her useless inventory, so it just uses the shorthand that she's not selling at Amazon and has no immediate profitable back-up plan.
Where I grew up small businesses could be "turned off" by the local government at the drop of a hat if they competed with the businesses of the well connected, the owner offended the wrong person, etc, etc. It would all eventually be "made right", sometimes in court, but because most business was seasonal many businesses would fold in the time it took for things to be "made right".

I have a ~5 year old Sandisk Sansa Clip with Rockbox. I use it almost every day. I remember the first time I tried Rockbox on it; when it didn't take 5 minutes to boot because it was scanning every file (like the stock firmware did), I loved it immediately. When 3.14 came out last year, I got excited when I discovered that I could play Opus files on it. (Before, it crashed hard every time I tried.)

I got one for my dad last year, and was surprised that Sandisk discontinued the Rockbox compatible models, and used players were going for $~50, presumably because of their Rockbox compatibility.
Everybody who knows anything about the history and teachings of Islam knows that Myanmar's Military does its job namely protecting their own citizens who are mostly peaceful Buddhist from aggressive Muslim invaders. There is no facebook incited genocide. This is laughable concept and the nytimes does not correctly asses the situation at all.

Afghanistan was Buddhist before, not anymore. Rich and beautiful cultures, the people of Byzantine or Berbers, all destroyed. Did you ever wonder how the Sphinx lost its nose? Muslims were always the aggressors and dragged all the conquered countries into an eternal dark age without hope for recovery.

Myanmar and its culture has a choice. Defend itself or die like the rest. Personally I have zero sympathy with the Rohingya.

> The food web appears to have been obliterated from the bottom. It’s credible that the authors link the cascade to arthropod loss, Schowalter said, because “you have all these different taxa showing the same trends — the insectivorous birds, frogs and lizards — but you don’t see those among seed-feeding birds.”

> Lister and Garcia attribute this crash to climate. In the same 40-year period as the arthropod crash, the average high temperature in the rain forest increased by 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperatures in the tropics stick to a narrow band. The invertebrates that live there, likewise, are adapted to these temperatures and fare poorly outside them; bugs cannot regulate their internal heat.

> so much "whataboutism"

It’s not whataboutism, it’s basically the same story. Rogue state actors abuse free speech to spread fakes in media, the fakes cause terrible things like genocides or wars.

There’re many visitors here on HN who live in Europe, myself included. I’ve wrote that comment to remind people the problem is not local to some distant location 10 hours flight away. Unfortunately, the problem is global, and is much closer than Myanmar.

I understand why media behave this way. They’re selling advertisements and don’t care much about global issues, at least when it takes resources to combat these rogue states. They’re private businesses, strictly speaking it’s not their responsibility to do anything besides making money for their shareholders, and they probably have good legal departments and are not breaking any laws of their jurisdictions.

But just because I understand that doesn’t mean I like that. The more people will care about the problem, the more likely we’ll be able to come up with a solution.

Yes, so until we can be sure about what is being done with the tracking : paying with money and paying with information are not either - or trade offs, but tracking is in addition to the money paid. I am talking about the worst case because :

1. Information can never be un-leaked reliably.
2. Even if current owner of the tracking company behaves , you never know what the next owner in case of bankruptcy / strategic sale does with the data.
3. If some unscrupulous employee of the tracking company leaks your information, there may not be any proof about it.
4. You never know if the information becomes dangerous when combined with some other information which may be leaked / required to be given in some other context.

So credible guarantee is the only thing that can make paying with money, and paying with information a true dichotomy.

>Lighter weights, more reps(15-20)

I was with you until you got here. A typical high-rep range for compound work should be between 8-12. 12-15 for auxiliary work. Most lifters would consider a rep range of between 3-5 to be low-rep.

>and you not only gain much better results in stamina (what good is it to be able to lift 100kg 3x times and you're done, when you need to move apartment for example or do multi-hour hike/anything else

Heavy lifting actually trains both fast-twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers, as it takes your entire muscle to lift heavy. The reverse can not be said for higher-repetition lifting. I've never trained in the mentioned rep range and anecdotally am able to do multi-hour hikes/anything else just fine. I find that the running/biking crowd loves to perpetuate this myth and generally does so with use of the phrase "meat-head".

One intuition I’ve had while learning Elm is that it’s a fundamentally simpler language with a smaller number of concepts to learn than JavaScript.

In this list of 33 JavaScript concepts, I count 11 that either do not exist in Elm or, like Object.assign, do not have an alternative to worry about:

No reference types

No type coercion

No == vs ===, although typeof has a simpler equivalent

Basically all expressions and no statements

No hoisting as such

No prototypical inheritance or prototype chain

No Object.create, no destructive alternative to Object.assign

No factories or classes as such

No inheritance or polymorphism

No design patterns as such, though you could argue that abstract algebra or category theory are the replacements

No this, call, bind, or apply

The finer points of these are somewhat debatable, but overall my contention is that removing mutation and local state makes a lot of related concepts just fall away. A takeaway is that when someone tells you that they’ve learned Elm, you needn’t assume that this was as huge of an undertaking as learning JavaScript.

I'm cheering for the Razer Phone 2.

It has no notch, it isn't obsessed with a high screen-to-body ratio. It isn't that thin or particularly light.

But it does have a 120hz screen that nobody else has, and once you see it with your own eyes you'll be wondering why other manufacturers aren't pushing for it too. It does have unashamedly large stereo speakers for market-leading volume and clarity. It does have a unique glowing logo on the back, just like the old Macbooks. And it also has a 4000mah battery that'll last the whole day easily.
