Maybe its just me but it seems like a love child of Diaspora and StatusNet (formally Laconica) that you have to pay for.

Oddly enough, the pay element is the only really attractive element right now. At least that way I know I know I will not have advertisements all over the place. Still $5 dollars seems steep. For that I could just host my own microblog theme on WordPress and make my own community.

> If you want to do something that is non-free, don't call it open source or free software, both words have accepted definitions

If you want to do something that is non-free, don't call it Free Software. As free software advocates keep telling us, Open Source is not the same thing despite the two being historically linked.
At least for Android that's not individual and arbitrary, it's an official google policy to crack down on "repetitive content" apps.

https://play.google.com/about/spam-min-functionality/spam/re...

Too many people were playing vertical spam games to flood competitors off search result pages, so now instead of WTF levels 1-10 and WTF levels 11-20 or WTF free (with ads) and WTF paid (no ads) we have to have everything in one big complicated app presumably with IAP.

Deep in the IAP fine print Google does state "Developers must not mislead users about the apps they are selling nor about any in-app services, goods, content, or functionality offered for purchase." so if you bother to report the fraud, Google will possibly react.
Like I said, a pretty wild definition. Is it abuse if one of my coworkers buys a BMW? I mean, the intended use of a car is to drive, not to make me want to buy one for myself.

By this definition, isn't selling a product that people don't need a worse offense? We should put all those toy manufacturers and restaurants and luxury car makers and fashion designers and barbers and perfume makers out of business.

I'm just overreacting to a rhetorical device, I know. I don't like advertising, and I express that preference in by preferring no ads where possible, but rarely am I willing to pay money up front to remove them. My intolerance of ads is not unbounded; in most places my intolerance is worth less than a dollar. I don't think advertising is an issue that we need to address as a society. The particular issue of advertising in children's games is more of an annoyance than anything else -- my kids only activate ads accidentally and then have to come to me to figure out how to get out of the trap that the ad has led them into, since closing the ad can be tricky.
I'd personally prefer if the various proposals for these things picked their own term and filled that positively (e.g. one recent example used a label along the lines of "fair licensing").

Many projects have build on the foundation of these principles (E.g. Debian, where they originated, accepts only compliant software in the core distro) Many people feel quite strongly about things that can be perceived as corporate interests infringing on the ideals, and I think it would muddle the waters even further, and changing the term should have really widespread support to not feel icky. It's a departure from old ideas, it's not wrong to clearly acknowledge that, and unwillingness to do that looks somewhat questionable IMHO.
Trump Plans Executive Order to End Birthright Citizenship in U.S
Oh I won't argue you with you there. I just find myself rotating quite a bit because I have to do both deployment as well as writing code for experimentations.

What I'm specifically talking about is even that kinda hacky experiment code you end up writing. I don't try to implement whole projects in there, but even just "train this model" type code ends up being a hassle because of how bad the editors are.

My above comment was more referencing wishing I could spend more time writing experiment code in jupyter without copying and pasting all the time.
Good way to spend the weekend, I totally get it :) I was thinking that constexpr has been around since 11 (17 has if-constexpr, but I didn't see any of those). Were there particular features of 17 that you were able to benefit from?
My kid is around 3yo now and likes My Little Pony, so I decided to see what's on the Android market. I've found out some app, genuine, from Hasbro. I got it for some time now and in the course of last few months number of ads showed during game play jumped up dramatically. From starting the game, for first two minutes I have counted 6-8 ads, each one including not only at least 30 sec video but also some stub of application after that lasting also around 30 seconds, unless manually disabled. Thing is that close buttons are cramped somewhere in the corner, small and they don't appear right from the start. It doesn't seem to be this concrete application problem. Rather some decision has been made by Google advertisement platform, it seems. It's so annoying that I am not even going to consider purchasing the product, as I would in other circumstances.

This, paradoxically, have had a great influence on our lives - no more playing games.

At some age you are correct, but I don't think 5 or 7 is it. Kid's reasoning skills just aren't developed enough yet at 5 to really understand what advertisers' motives are. Exposure will do little more than desensitize them to ads and instead let their subconscious absorb the message.

I'd rather my kids find ads jarring when they are exposed en masse to them rather than be too comfortable around them.

There are a lot of things that 5 and 7 year olds shouldn't be exposed to yet, not just ads.
Here are the issues with Jupyter, and most other flavor, of notebook:

1. variables have to be explicitly output

The most important tool for programming, for me, is that window that shows you the current state of all the variables. When I step through a program, I look at the state. 90% of my debugging solutions come from seeing that variable doesn't have the right state.

2. Intellisense

For the love of god, I do not want to remember if it is len(), length(), .len(), .length(), .size(), size(1) or whatever.

That's it. But those two are so big that I have to code and debug in Spyder and then paste the code into notebook. I feel sorry for people who are new who think that all the debugging is happening in the notebook.
Love my Vive. Got a beast of a machine to run it on and just bought the Deluxe Audio Strap and the Wireless adapter. The wireless adapter is a game changer for me. The wire was driving me nuts and breaking immersion entirely.

Got addicted to Beat Saber for a while but it's not very comfortable to play for long as you have this huge headset strapped to your face and you're streaming with sweat before long.

Took it to the office for a week about a year ago and then again about a month ago. All of my colleagues were asking me what new experiences I had and you be honest I could only really suggest Beat Saber.

Seems to me like the content stream has dried up a bit but then again I entered the scene late and downloaded years of content at once.

Astrobot looks awesome and I'm a bit miffed it's exclusive for the PSVR
Whereas I'm reveling that I can do network watermark analysis, do a bit of time-shifting so the analyzer is seeing footage in the future, and implement my own auto-mute.

Or, at least, this is on the medium-term todo list, and I hope I get to play with it someday. Obviously can't really commercialize the idea... :)
Personally, it's been a process of learning. At first I even found something like Nirvana too much, but I could appreciate classic rock and metal like Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. From there it was a journey of discovery that ended with death/doom metal and black metal. Most death metal is just not really my taste but I can totally see what people like about it.
Then they can choose to not use the software.

Unfortunately, too few people care about the various problems with advertisements - not the least of which are privacy concerns - to do that. They'd rather have the software, and [think they] ignore the ads.

This would be reasonable, but I can't help thinking that many - if not most - are not making informed decisions.
> Well, we can see how well the Japanese are doing with their "scientific research" whale killing, which is really bad as they are using it as a excuse to continue the practice.

The whales they research aren't endangered. Also, other nations and people hunt whales.

> Similar loopholes will be found here, for example: if i capture a rhino and send it to a farm for 1 week, is it now a animal that we can do "research" on? What about 1 month?

That's a possibility. But more likely, it'll create more tiger/rhino "farms". Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is debatable just like trophy hunting.

Also, the threat to tigers and rhinos aren't poachers. It's loss of habitat due to human population growth. Where humans live in numbers, it's hard to have tigers and rhinos around because they can easily kill humans. It's why most tigers and rhinos in the world today are in zoos or wildlife enclosures.
Given that the candidates tend to hew pretty closely to their party platform, it is perfectly sensible to vote for a team instead of an individual. It is a completely valid choice.

The people voting against their own self-interest clearly disagree, there must be some overriding element of their ideology that is more important.
I think the alleged fraud is on the part of the ad vendor that placed the hard-to-click, tap three times while it makes a synchronous network request, 25% opacity, 10x10px close/skip button on the ad in a game targeted to toddlers, not the toddler.
Data frame rendering in the various notebooks (beaker,jupyter,zeppelin,..) is wonderful.
Your workflow sounds closest to what I do. If I want to visualize something I tend to compile my thoughts/imports and organize things in an editor first and put it in a notebook in parallel. It helps with version control as well.
Long story short: been into engineering from my early years, and by my late teens firmly set my eyes on microelectronics, to the extend I managed to self study it to the level of somebody on the second year of university program, but insistent parents were hellbent on sending me studying "businessy things rich people do" (or so they thought those do.)

The same is the case for high brand eyewear.

Most "brands" of $100 to $2000 glasses are made in the same factory, owned by the same company (Luxxotica) and use the same materials and craftsmanship (or lack thereof), just with a different design.

Then the same design/materials go off-branded for sale for 1/10th the price or less.
You still have to test a non-SPA app and you still have to manage state--it's just on the other end of the wire.

TBH, given the state of modern tooling I'm not sure that SPAs really do require more development (once you have actually bought into the process of using them, which is nontrivial). I do, however, think they generally scale (developer-scale, not performance-scale) better than any multi-page system I've ever worked on.

I like your division of "site" and "app", and it's the same one I use. The boundaries are definitely fuzzy, but if you're working on it--I think you know.
I'd offer a different perspective:

C is a simple language that obviously maps to a programmer's idea of the assembly they'd write.

It biases towards lots of fixed-size stack frames and fixed-layout structs. Writing C code really does feel very close to the "bounded turing machine" metaphor that the CPU gives us.

Other languages have their advantages, but C's proximity to assembler, with all the faults included, really is a great pedagogical tool.

> Tables as a single data structure are not ideal for many tasks. Especially the dualism between tables that are indexed by sequential numbers and tables acting as maps. It's a lot more kind to your users to give up with the solely academical ideal of "just one data structure", and give programmers at least an ordered and a map data type, or at least come up with something better than that. Lisp attempt at doing most things with lists was much more successful and clean.

I have a different view.

Lua tables are the foundation for just about any conceivable data structure in CS. While you can do a lot with raw tables in Lua, you can also use them to build all kinds of things on top of them, like b-trees. Or an object system (which is a popular hobby among Lua aficionados).

There's a limit to what can and should be built into any base language. Trying to wedge in more container types can cause a bit of difficulty, in my opinion. Python is the classic example here, where you have tuples using parens, arrays using square brackets, and dictionaries using curly brackets. At some level that is clever, but at another level it is a cause of confusion.
Depends on how effective the corrected score mechanism is. If it's taking out the scores it deems fake then recalculating the score based on the remaining scores that campaign will only hurt their FakeSpot score while still leaving their overall score mostly intact. If they drop the score just because of fake reviews the attack would work but if it basically just filters out spam reviews it's much less attackable.

“To be a mass tourist, for me, is to become a pure late-date American: alien, ignorant, greedy for something you cannot ever have, disappointed in a way you can never admit. It is to spoil, by way of sheer ontology, the very unspoiledness you are there to experience, It is to impose yourself on places that in all non-economic ways would be better, realer, without you. It is, in lines and gridlock and transaction after transaction, to confront a dimension of yourself that is as inescapable as it is painful: As a tourist, you become economically significant but existentially loathsome, an insect on a dead thing.”

Yeah but the whole point is "interactive coding". It doesn't feel very interactive when I have to context switch all the time :). I'd prefer something closer to what the lisp folks get to do with the repl where you can scratch out an idea and see it working without leaving your environment.

C is much bigger than just the “embedded” world/microcontrollers. iOS and Android are still C from the kernel up through the window system/graphics layer. The router software at the core of the Internet are written in C. Vulkan or whatever underlies your game console is in C, as is the GPU driver. (The game itself is probably C++.)
This is one of many reasons I do not feel the least bit bad about having a Pi-Hole [1] on my network to block ads and trackers [2]. The companies behind this are predatory. The advertisement and analytic platforms they use are complicit. I have an obligation to shield my family from their manipulative and malicious intentions. The option to just avoid these types of apps/websites is a farce. The platforms have infiltrated our lives at every level - analytics are always being collected. My own ISP has the right to spy on me and my family and sell our activities to be used against us in the form of advertisements.

I'm sorry, but no. The POTUS does not have the authority to just randomly override the 14th Amendment. And the literal text of the 14th does not equivocate, not does it say anything about the status of your parents or anything else.

This is about as straightforward as it gets:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Regardless of what you think of Trump otherwise, it's clear that this is a blatant violation of the "separation of powers" concept and a violation of our democratic process. If we allow this to happen, I think it's time to start sounding the death knell for this country, because our slide into outright fascist totalitarianism will probably be unstoppable.

But between the fact that the vast majority of those resources are being used by a small amount of the population, and the fact that people have been claiming the "population bomb" will be going off imminently for hundreds of years and it not actually happening, seems to imply that the issue isn't the number of people on the planet, and way in which those people use planetary resources.
The migration between languages is also industry specific. They are still teaching SAS to finance and healthcare analysts, for instance, and R and Python are still rising in healthcare specifically.
