Yep. Particularly with hardware makers that strategy has worked remarkably well. Nvidia is actually the only major hardware company I know of (other than Apple who sorta don't count) who doesn't have a good open source driver. That isn't an ideological position, just all the other majors seem to support linux as a first class citizen across all product categories.

There is also a difference between data exchange (codecs, doc*, etc) and drivers. Intransigence by the kernel community regarding closed source code has resulted in Good Things in the driver space.
Likewise don't bother with `activate`, just use the tools from the virtualenv directly `venv/bin/pip`, `venv/bin/python` etc.

I would pay a lot of money for a stock trading bot that just generates $200 a month or etc if I just deposit $2000 into a brokerage and let the little bot do its thing.

I was running a decently profitable scalping operation but the time invested made it silly to continue. However, I could really use the $200 in monthly income, and I'm not too afraid to lose the $2000 principal investment if the bot is coded well.

The other option is a video poker bot, which is already freely available. The issue of course is getting it past the casino :)
FaceBase Fly-Through of a Mouse Skull
Protobufs (the transfer format of gRPC) include not just a schema, but a transport format that may be more efficient than a serialized POCO.

gRPC also allows you to encode communication semantics (i.e. "What does this endpoint want as arguments? What does it return?") and generate both client and server code that complies with (and automatically [de]serializes and validates protobuf data for) those semantics.

It's the difference between a schema definition and a schema definition + serialization format + service (not just data) definition/codegen.

Green tea _is_ natural. And I conflate "consumed daily by millions of people for thousands of years without incident" with safe. Green tea is not an obscure herb like echinachea or ginko biloba. The idea that putting it in capsules would make it dangerous is not obvious at all. It sounds like magical thinking. So the fact that it is true, and it is in fact dangerous, is actually quite curious to my mind.

I got into WP to build a site that tracks robot teams and competition events. I didn't want to write PHP but found a great plugin called PODS. It allowed me to do all the inter-page linkage (orgs->teams->robots) without any PHP. Another plugin does calendar stuff for the events.

It was quick and easy to set it up, and works pretty smoothly.

I've tried Gutenberg and wasn't that impressed. It wasn't adding to anything I was doing and it managed to break two small items.

I know that the WP people are trying to go against Wix, etc. I'd like to have also seen them split into the new React and kept the "classic". I'll most likely become one of the 1000's of sites that become frozen on a 4.9.x release. It will be interesting to see if there are updates in the 4.9 tree or if it will be 5.0 only.

I look at the Wix, Weebly, etc market place has being worth WP going after and I'm sure they will try to pull company/vendor sites from the Facebook and I'm good with that. But one of the powers of WP is the ability to make pretty complex sites using PHP/Plugins. Moving to React isn't going to make that easy.

I really think that this is a case of dumbing down a product may not be a good idea for lots of the current users.
Electrify America is actively working to build out a DC Fast Charging network: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger

Here's some quotes from their plan:

"Electrify America is investing in roughly 900 charging stations across the United States by mid-2019. These stations have multiple dispensers with more than 5,000 charging ports available."

"Electrify America’s DC Fast EV charging stations will be located along high-traffic corridors in 39 states, including two cross-country routes. Locations will accommodate between four and ten chargers, with charging power levels up to 350kW available at every station, capable of adding 20 miles of range per minute to a vehicle. Nationally, each planned station site will be located no more than 120 miles apart and, on key East and West Coast highways, planned locations average only 70 miles apart."

Don't get me wrong. There are gaps in their planned build-out, but they should be able to quickly build out to a point where their charging network suffices for the vast majority of Americans typical long distance driving needs. For everything else, rental cars are still an option, and the future should bring even more DCFC infrastructure build-out.
There's been a stand alone plugin activating the Gutenberg editor out for ages now. You can install it and test how things work right now in 4.9.8 or whatever version you're running.

It seems unnecessary. They should've just used "estimated votes" , since that is what they are, or something derived from votes.

That's not a problem, Wordpress is literally a blogging platform.

If your application's scope is outside of a blog, Wordpress is the wrong tool for the job. There exists multitudes of frameworks written in any given language that follow the MVC design pattern (some better than others of course) to choose from.

Awww, man. I like WCF; wish more people would use it (and use it right).

So much of the stuff I've had to do there is untangling the work of people that fundamentally don't want what WCF provides (quick, one-size-fits-all-imperfectly prototyping with an option for greater flexibility later on), and instead want 'automatic contract enforcement, but I still get to write the client/server code from scratch the way I used to', which is a recipe for sadness.

I think you've missed the point a bit. I'm trying to make a distinction between what is driving Gutenberg and what it's trying to solve and why. Improving the editing experience is a valid justification - of course - but it's not happening because users are demanding it or because their problems are not being met already. It's primarily vehicle for accomplishing other goals, i.e. improving .com's competitive offering and managing the transition to a JS centric code base. Those things are more important.

Understanding the priorities in play explains in part why Gutenberg is causing friction better than saying it exists because it is trying to solve technical problems for users. That would lead you to think that the technical problems were thought about really hard and that is some primary goal. It's not. It's just WordPress trying to modernise an interface.

> You can style the editor with CSS, and re-use much of your front-end theme styles in the editor stylesheet via Sass.

The reason I bring up the editor and WYSIWYG is that it shows the disconnect between some lauded goal of providing a more seamless experience and the thought that went into the technical solution. My feeling is that we ended up where we are not because we were trying to solve a problem in the best way, but because we were just trying to cram in a new JS way of doing things. It explains better how we arrive at the following mess. Let me show you it through the lens of styling a post:

https://imgur.com/a/AThzNns

> The “mess” in editing mode is needed to help people style their content more intuitively; you can't have a WYSYIWYG web UI without adapting the page content with scaffolding to enable styling controls.

Look at the gallery I posted and tell me honestly, are you really saying this is the only way to provide 'intuitive editing'? Of course that is not true, it's simply how Gutenberg decided to implement it. Of course, you can compose your CSS workflow to fit around how Gutenberg's editor functions and you'll get fairly good results if you do. But this is a workaround, it's made the UI a first class citizen at the expense of the rest. So theme developers have to think in terms of the UI, not just what the markup looks like on the front-end. And content creators are forced to think in terms of blocks. It's an UI that is altering how people interact with it, for its own sake.
The hosting country, like Russia, knows they are spies and puts surveillance teams on them 24/7. The spy's (aka CIA Officer) job is to make sure their agents (the host country people they are gathering intelligence from) will not be discovered because in worst case that may mean death for the agent.

I've read a few memoirs from CIA officers and typically they are doing a very well planned surveillance detection route (SDR) to ferret out who is following them. If they are headed to a clandestine meet, the plan could include disguises and specific parts of the route where they can lose the surveillance team. Then they can meet freely with their agent.

The sophistication isn't about technology of disguise, it is more about using a combination of the techniques described in the video and well honed skills.

None of which has anything to do with having a double standard. If you ran your project with backwards compatibility as a core value and promise to your users then don't be surprised if they get upset when you break that promise.

It can be good to recognize that back-compat has become detrimental. When that happens, you need to communicate the reasons why you have decided to break it and communicate that the projects values have changed going forward. It doesn't sound like either of those things have happened here.

I work at an agency building large websites for a variety of clients, and so far am in love with Gutenberg. The block based approach is huge, especially for many of our clients in the news and editorial space that write long pieces of content with a lot of different components (text and images of course, but also quotes, asides, interactive embeds, donations, related stories, etc).
I'm not sure its 'rude'. If they were with someone and talking to them, it'd be fine. What's the difference? It seems odd; but every odd behavior we see is not rude.
Formalizing expectations is the best way to get everyone on board. My team relies on custom linting rules to act as that coding rules doc and builds the checks into the deployment pipeline so your build won't succeed if you have poorly formatted code. It doesn't catch everything, but it makes you more aware while writing code and gives a baseline minimum for standards.

Also, there is a way to provide constructive feedback without attacking the person behind the keyboard or phrasing it as 'you're wrong, make it right'.

The best reviewer on my team takes the time to point out where the 'big picture flaws' are, but phrases it in a way of 'this works, but here's why it won't work later on, and why you should consider fixing it now, just my 2c', rather than 'you're dumb if you think this is acceptable'.
Component approach is good, but why force everyone to use React or any particular framework? Wouldn't it be better to implement this as vanilla js component? Either via web component or just plain custom element.

Nowdays there are some really good solutions like quillJS or prosemirror that are not tied to particular solutions.
Because I think both the process of batch cooking and reheating are bad for the flavor.
Compared to installing Windows, which often lacks drivers for the network adapters, installing Linux is a breeze.

> There are a great deal more things than books that have authors

And those things all have their own words for their authors, as well.

composer - mu2allef

You can also use kaateb for the author of a letter or perhaps a poem, but not really a symphony. Just like you wouldn't use author. Pardon the use of the numbers in words - it's how people represent letters that aren't in English in Arabic.

Just because Spanish isn't an official language in the US doesn't make it less useful. The US is the second largest Spanish speaking nation in the world, behind Mexico. There are a number of careers in the US where speaking Spanish is very useful, especially when you interact a lot with people (e.g., medicine & sales). Every major US market is served by at least two Spanish speaking TV stations over the air. And if you speak Spanish fluently, there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility that lets you communicate with Portuguese speakers (for Brazil). It's an extremely useful language for North, Central, and South America. It also gives the average American much more opportunities to make use of their Spanish skills in every day life when compared to French or German.

The issue isn't as much of proprietary drivers as nvidia not wanting to implement GBM in their drivers as it's supposed to for wayland support and pushing for EGL streams.

It means that people writing wayland compositors have to write a EGL stream version because of a purely one-sided nvidia decision.

EGL Stream support in Mutter (gnome) is supported a bit by Nvidia but that's it.

Between spending time on improving a compositor and the window managers making use of it or spending time to support non standard driver implementation because of one-sided decision from nvidia, it seems to me that the first choice is a smarter one.
I was unclear. My comment was just a tongue in cheek way of saying: it's not odd that we don't have much electrophysiological knowledge of single human neurons because of the practical and ethical problems that come with brain slice electrophysiology on humans -- you need live tissue which is hard to get.

What you've linked to deals with "in vivo" rather than brain slice ("in vitro") electrophysiology, which in humans would encounter the same issues. Cool techniques though nonetheless.

Previously I remember seeing some speculation that having tools like GrayKey available can be in a sense good for Apple. If the tools are hard enough to get and limited to law enforcement, that should not affect too much the public perception of iPhones being very safe and secure. If these tools are available in some form, it reduces the pressure from the government towards Apple to provide access to data in the devices.
The Plan for Europe’s Homegrown Exascale HPC
The problem is they aren’t doing it. The ones who are are charging about the same price (or often higher!) for electricity that you would spend for gas (per mile) while even the Supercharger users who have to pay end up spending almost half the price as they would for gas.

If you don’t have an electric car (I have two, a Volt with no quickcharge and a Leaf with a quick charge), it’s hard to understand just how strong Tesla’s position in the market is here. It’ll probably be a decade before others catch up. Less if they partner with Tesla.

But here’s the thing: the market for electric cars is enormous, as big as the market for regular ICE cars. It’s not a niche. That’s why the “Tesla killer” argument is dumb: if your target is Tesla, you’ll lose because you’ll always be behind, fighting over a niche that Tesla created. Because Tesla wasn’t targeting other EVs, or even hybrids, they are targeting the entire market. If your target is ICE vehicles, then you may win because there will be plenty of market to go around.

The only chance to beat Tesla is to beat ICE cars.
