I've used LO without an interface, but I don't know how effective it will be in general. It's very likely that the ones I mention are limited in their CSS or JS support, but my context doesn't use them (much) so I've got a much wider choice of things I can use.

In my context I'm producing documents that need to be displayed in both contexts, so I steer clear of things that are primarily HTML.
Well looking at the offering, the new Xs and Xs Max, are not that big of a change from the X so the desire to upgrade may be mooted. With the X Apple introduced a whole new means of authentication and screen technology that was truly a jump from previous phones. This fulfilled two very important categories for sales, the people who love new tech and the people who love being seen with the newest tech; these are not necessarily people who give one with about what it does but are in it for appearances.

It might have been intended that way originally (although I joined in 2005 and I don't remember this ever being a thing) but once they forced Yahoo!Photos into there, it pretty much just became a huge porn stash. Presumably once the 1000 photo limit kicks in, it'll be a much less huge porn stash.

I hate them, but it's easier from a configuration management standpoint and from an IT management standpoint. They're easier to move around, easier to treat as disposables and just replace if they go bad, etc.

Again, not a fan myself but I see the same thing happening where I've worked in the past.

There is no right to free speech on Facebook. That amendment applies only to the government. A surprising number of people seem to forget that.
Just checked out Mastodon and I didn't feel compelled to sign up.

I am sure it is fine but the network effect is lacking, it is not as if I need to go on there for any reason, don't know anyone on there.

What I was surprised at was that there was no blockchain nonsense going on with it, lurking away in the footer. That really would have turned me off it.
You don't need a bunch of processing power to type a text file.
That's true that I'm not a native English speaker but I still think that the whole article is extremely confusing. For example the author mentions multiple times AJAX in connection with the downsides of a MPA, but AJAX is a technology used for updating a page without a page refresh, so really more inline with a SPA rather than a MPA. Things like this make this article very confusing.

I am still not clear if the intention was to criticise:

1. The original article which was referred at the top

2. Criticise server side templating engines (but he didn't explain how a templating engine is different on the client)

3. MPA in general

4. AJAX (mentioned several times in connection with server side templating)

5. Anything which is not component based (since this is the final point in his conclusion)

6. A combination of those

Which one was it according to your understanding (genuine question)?

Hi,

My name is Maksim and I'm here to present you my second launched project - Taggy. I was going to do the same with my first one, DailyQ, but unfortunately, I shut it down right after launching it. But hopefully, I'm not going to do the same with the current project.

Taggy is a desktop application for fast saving texts, links or images using only shortcuts. With Taggy you don't need to copy-paste anything or even open an application. Everything you need to do is copy whatever you want to save (any text, link or image) and press a special shortcut for saving. That's it, easy huh?

And after you finish working, reading or whatever you were doing, you can open an application, open tab 'Unsorted' and sort everything how you want - you don't have to worry about it while you are focusing on something else.

Let me know what you think about Taggy and how you think I can make it better :)
I would also like Google Maps to pronounce streetnames in the local language. It knows the street is (for example) in France. So please pronounce the name in French, instead of English.

What's funny is that in this article, a Taiwanese company was also accused of stealing IP from Micron, but people are only talking about China.

So is the common believe of a group of people enough? Or does it need the recognition of others?

That's the situation where filling charges with procurator would've made sense. The tricks is to go to file charges with as many procurators as possible, like 20 or more of them. From district level, to municipal, to provincial. I personally know foreigners who, indeed, won court cases in China with civil torts against minor officials, with one actually being against an another procurator who refused to file charges of fraud against an Alibaba vendor upon a complaint.

You get the same thing from parts suppliers. I regularly get emails announcing "spend $2000 with us in the next month and receive a FREE GIFT (rc helicopter / iPad / swanky wallet / DVD player / other nice thing)". It seems pretty blatant bribery to get employees (who probably don't care much either way where their gear comes from) to buy from one supplier over another.
I think you need to ask the end users their opinion of this. This is a common failure mode in corporations of that size.

It's really not efficient throwing everything away every 3-5 years.

10 years is minimum cycle IMHO, possibly longer now that standards are relatively stagnant allowing incremental improvement. That's the point at which you can recoup the retraining investment and cover the hardware cycles easily.

At the end of the day the purpose of the software is to deliver a benefit and churn based rewrites pretty much pause all comprehensive development projects. They have no business value.
Unless I'm mistaken, I think Mastodon predates the recent blockchain fad.
I think we should attach an important health warning. Samsung release their S9 in March 2018, whereas Apple released the iPhone X in November. So this quarter is the drop from Samsung's first full quarter of their new flagship sales to one year later. Apple's quarter is the drop from the last full quarter before their new flagship to a quarter where they released a new flagship.
> Yet services would be better if units sold gets increased.

I'm not sure that follows. Apple's a very different company in many ways. Notably, by being dominant in a relatively deep-pocketed userbase, they don't need to worry about the "our profit margin is near zero and likely to shrink further so we have to grow just to stay alive" red queen's race that so many other tech companies find themselves in.
There we agree. I think freedom of speech should fully cover anything religion related because religion is by definition not provable.
Out of curiosity, what do you use Siri for that it can be good enough?

I use Siri almost exclusively for reminders (e.g., "remind me at x PM to do y" or "remind me when I get home to do z"), and even with this limited use case I often end up with baffling reminders in the future (my favorite reminder is to "make farts"--I never did remember what it was supposed to be.) Beyond reminders I've yet to find a compelling, reliable use case.
Responding to the sibling re: censoring pornography. The 1st amendment prevents the government from interfering with the free exchange of ideas (among other things). We generally believe that letting the government regulate this kind of thing is a dangerous slippery slope.
In greece you are not allowed to criticise the president, nor are you allowed to insult the church. In germany it was illegal (not sure if it still is) to publish games that had nazi imaginary (such as wolfenstein). In the UK and France you are not allowed to produce certain pornographic drawings. To me these restrictions show that in the EU there is no free speech.
You probably mean deflectors ;-)

Does sending a message that abuse is unacceptable stop abuse?

It seems to me that the only people it scares are the people who aren’t a problem in the first place.

In truth such a message seems to enable abusers although I couldn’t explain to you why.

> moving them to another parish accomplishes nothing

That might be the case when children are involved.

In a workplace context though such an approach empowers potential victims.

It empowers victims in four key ways:

1) It stops women from threatening innocent men - saying “I can make you move teams to an equivalent position” is not particularly threatening - more of a pain in the ass.

2) It limits the ability of a male manager to sexually pressure his female subordinates. Saying “you will never advance in this company unless you ...” carries a lot less weight when you can easily switch managers.

3) It empowers women to be able to voice concerns without having to worry about getting people fired.

You’d be surprised at the number of women who keep quiet about real problems because they don’t want an overzealous HR to come in and ruin people’s livelihoods.

4) It limits abuse without requiring strong evidence of abuse in a way that doesn’t result in strong backlash.

There's been an attempt to fix this during the last two years, as the QUIC standardization talks really got going. A bunch of operator people expressed a need for some sort of in-path measurability, while the privacy people have expressed the need to avoid any sort of session linkage or other forms of information leakage. The most viable compromise proposal seems to be the spin bit[0] which gives RTT measurements, but it's not agreed whether a version of that will make it to the first release.

> the general wellbeing of the population and preventing people getting hurt is important as well

I fail to see how speech does hurts anyone. Would you mind elaborating? Should it not be solely the responsibility of whoever hears said speech to decide on whether to act on it? Does censorship of any shape or form not actually hurt the ones that wanted to listen to said speech the most?
But the stock gain that accounts for a significant portion of comp is between grant and vest, and thus is still taxed at normal income tax rates.

Gains after vest can't really be counted as comp, since anyone else could have bought those same shares and made those same gains. That's just investment income; attributing it to your employer/employee relationship is silly.

On the other side of the argument, I think many would ask where do you draw the line? And who draws that line? It seems like the majority of the people I know feel like it's better not to draw that line at all and instead focus on teaching people why these arguments are wrong. The failing of our education system is another (bad) problem entirely.

Both companies have a similar release schedule every year, which is why we compare to the same quarter a year ago.

Unfortunately for Samsung, falling smartphone sales figures have been an ongoing problem.

>Samsung’s mobile phone sales have been taking a hit this year. It’s a downward trend that started during last year’s holiday quarter and has persisted throughout 2018. Both IDC and Strategy Analytics report that Samsung’s smartphone sales have dipped around 13 percent in the recent quarter. That follows a 10 percent decline in Q2, a 2 percent drop in Q1, and a 4 percent dip in Q4 2017. It’s a clear sign that Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 devices haven’t been competitive at the high-end

The fact that non-Apple services are limited on iOS platforms also helps push people to adoption. Other companies just aren't allowed to build the same kind of experience. Good for Apple revenue, bad for us users and free market.
I don't think what you're saying is correct about Australia. Queensland just joined the ranks of states to legalise elective termination of pregnancy. If "murdering babies" and gay marriage can get through the morals of many politicians, I'm sure smoking a bit of weed can too. The difference I see is there really aren't any big movements from the citizens to push the marijuana agenda, as there were for the other two I mentioned.

Edit for clarification: this is addressing your point about their religiosity. I wasn't commenting on your last paragraph.
You seem to confuse freedom of speech with freedom of press.
I'm aware of this. You may think it's a good thing, and I'm inclined to agree that for a peaceful and civilized society, this balance is definitely a necessity. However, there may be many amongst us who think it's not a good thing. I don't prefer one over another anyway, but just pointing out that absolute free speech isn't a thing anywhere. I suppose the US comes as close to it as possible. This is my regular HN account.
So it's basically the opposite of US services, where conservatives are hushed.

Is it a limitation of using neural networks, or is the problem harder than it looks?

I skimmed it super quickly, though since no one is commenting, I'll just put this comment in there as an encouragement for others. I think the gist of it is as follows:

1. There is inter process communication.

2. For this there is shared memory of 64 bits.

3. Some processes are 32 bits and when they get this memory, they just use the lower 32 bits.

Obviously I glossed over many details, but when a 32 bit process is just getting a part of memory and leaves the rest unchecked, that sounds like a good script for the start of a vulnerability (i.e. things being left unchecked).

It depends on what you think Twitter is for. I think it’s the equivalent of the public town square.

In that context I don’t think it’s appropriate.

If you start a public conversation it’s ok to walk away from it (equivalent of ignore) but it is not ok to stop certain groups you don’t like from continuing the conversation (equivalent of a real block).

In a sense you don’t own the conversation and once you have made a contribution everyone else is free to talk about your contribution.

I tend to think of it in terms of horses for courses. In other words, let your requirements drive your architectural choices, rather than going in with the preconceived notion that there are architectures 'no one needs'.

I recently threw together a small blog engine and wouldn't even have thought of writing it as an SPA... there was no point. Then again, a blog is mostly static document service, so it shouldn't be a surprise that picking a document service architecture made sense.

For me at least, some of the specific reasons to pick an SPA might be this:

* I'd like my user to be able to make change to a document without disrupting where they've scrolled in the document.

* It's possible to build retry logic into the SPA to get a bit of offline capability if the network connection isn't great.

* There's a block of data on a page that takes an unmanageably long time to render and I'm okay with it showing up after the body of the page.

* There's a large volume of data that can be maintained and incrementally updated within the client, rather than reload every time.

* There's a need to automatically stream and update the page in real time (and meta refresh, etc. won't work.)

* The developers assigned to the project are more comfortable with SPA and associated tooling.

* There is a high likelihood of one of the above becoming true soon enough that we wouldn't be able to rewrite to an SPA to accommodate the requirement when it arises.

Not exhaustive, but a big list anyway.... so there are often good reasons to select an SPA design. But not always. As engineers/architects, we have to do the work of understanding the requirements and planning our design..
That is quite irrelevant. We're talking about freedom of speech here. Not the freedom of the press. When I think of freedom of speech, I have a simple question. If I say something that one finds offensive, am I committing a crime and will be prosecuted for my words? That's the only criteria I have. Now, the consequences that come from saying what you want, for eg. losing a job, or business - those have nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Obviously there are exceptions, in the form of breaking contracts. Can't go around leaking classified information or industrial secrets - contracts you agreed to when you signed up for the gig.
