I had the same thought. There was a situation where business owners (and police!) were using a group messaging app to share photos of "suspicious" people in an upscale retail area. It of course became mostly a way to track black shoppers.

I always understood that some of the JS language quirks are due to their humble beginnings. Nowadays however I expect professional decision making.

In 2018 I expect that a language which in many other regards follows the C++ language syntax style (semi colon, curly braces, double equality, ...) follow also expectations like that private fields are declared with a private keyword and not some strange new syntax form.

Disappointed!
As a sidenote to this, what is a good way to follow independently hosted blogs like this one?

I don't have a medium account but I suspect there are follow features and you get a timeline of some sort.

The blog doesn't seem to have RSS (and is that even a technology people still use?), so do I have to follow them on twitter?
Convincing but fraudulent job applications: has this happened at your company?
At work, we had a mail loop once; a girl from accounting had ordered toner for our printers last thing before she went on vacation and enabled an auto reply on her mailbox.

Five minutes after she left the office, the order confirmation arrived, sent from noreply@random.office.supplies.whatever. Her mailbox sent an auto-reply. Our mail server sent her an error message, telling her that her reply had not been delivered. To which her mailbox happily replied with the same auto-reply mail...

When I walked into the office on Monday, her mailbox had accumulated around 50,000 of those mails. Fun times.
The article is both a why-doc and a how-doc.

I do agree that this is a useful distinction.

I'd have called how-docs and FYIs "howto", as I think that term would be recognised more clearly, but that's a quibble.
Indeed!

Typing this response from my Debian Testing system. I'm needing Windows less and less. Now that I can run Elite: Dangerous using WINE, I don't even need Windows around as a game OS. I can develop my applications in the Debian system and if needed I can boot a Windows 7 or 8 VM to produce a Windows distribution of said application (Python, PySide, Qt).

Basically, everything I need to do I can do whilst not booted into Windows. I'll keep that Windows 10 partition handy to boot, just in case. Otherwise, I'm free from its shackles.
>They provide lots of different answers, with no great way to choose between them.

...that's the point.

The entire purpose of a liberal arts education is to learn about what is important to you personally, what it means to be a person in a world full of other people making that same journey, how to understand the events that lead to where we are today, how to think about and approach new ideas, how to evaluate and process new information and so on. Your comment that shows a misunderstanding of the liberal arts reflects a core failure of the education system that is unfortunately all too common.

I'm in favor of this idea though the tricky part is how you figure out which taxes to lower to make it revenue neutral. I tend to think of politics as "Help my friends/Hurt my enemies" and the important thing to realize is that no one really thinks that a carbon tax helps them.

Not even the lefty leftiest greenies believe that. They think a carbon tax might hurt their enemies so they're accepting of it to some limited degree but they don't really believe it will help them. If they did they wouldn't care what taxes would get cut or how the revenue would be spent. Instead they're super interested in how the money would be spent or who's taxes would be cut. They're also interested in the least broad version of carbon tax for the same reasons.

I think theirs a political agenda on the Left and they view climate change as magic that will let them have their way. The same way the Right sees religious imperatives. Or national defense.

It's a view that assumes the other side are all idiots. It won't work.

It's important to acknowledge that centralized platforms like Medium have benefits, and a truly decentralized writing platform will only work if those problems are worked out to a level where writers have a good experience.

- The biggest thing they give a lot of writers is the promise of automated distribution through their topic and user graphs.

- They can ensure higher comment quality and real identity through review systems that cost money but have economies of scale.

- It seems like domain-wide features is still something Google uses so if they keep the average content quality high, there's an SEO advantage to using these platforms.

- They can invest in a follow graph protocol that's non-anonymous (unlike RSS) so you know exactly who your audience is as a writer.

- They can otherwise make more complex product investments that will take the open-source community a little longer to coordinate on.

Many of the points I mention above are possible in decentralized platforms, they just haven't yet come together in a cost-effective (zero monetary cost and high ease-of-use) way for writers.

Tofu isn't even highly processed. It's essentially a cheese made from water that's had soybeans soaked in it.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Parent is right, most folks don't get it, even technical ones. Most people aren't in STEM, aren't making north of six-figures doing tech, and aren't super literate when it comes to even basic technology, like their car or IR TV remote.

I'd bet my hat that you'd have to explain how it works, in a practical-how-to-trade-this sense, to virtually all of them, save for those in STEM. And even if they learned how it works, what's your aunt going to spent the BTC on? Can't take it to Applebee's, or Wal-Mart, or Bed Bath & Beyond, or pay a mortgage or a parking fine.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.

This reads like Google is now attempting to dictate the direction Javascript goes in, by implementing proposals before they've become standards, and shipping them in their browser. Given the dominance of the browser engine, it effectively sets the direction of the language, particularly if people start to use it (which they will).

This is feeling like IE6 all over again. We're getting non-standard implementations of standards, that will further encourage websites to be "Chrome only".
I'm just drawing a distinction because there's this toxic political meme of labeling an area with no competition as "the free market", and smearing collective action attempting to serve themselves as "government meddling", when in reality the latter is just the market mechanism itself! Customer demand gets so pent up that they start demanding a new competitor, and seek investment from the main source available to them. The new municipal entity still has to compete in the market for customers, and so any complaint from the incumbent about the government pushing them out of business is horse shit.

Sorry about your Internet choices - I was speaking based on friends in Arlington and Newton. It sounds like the market has failed you too, and it was not correct to chalk it all up to population density. RCN's upload speed sucks compared to my fiber here, so maybe that's some consolation?

Have you investigated whether any CLECs offer better DSL connections over that Verizon (Nynex, really) copper?

I've seen that happen personally, but I think that's a failure of the instructor or the system (or both), not of the subject matter itself.

This is exactly what it's an indicator of. It just starts in wacky places like Vegas.

When dopey money is able to pursue 3-5x short term returns on real estate, that's the sign of a peak. The hammer inevitably comes down and cleans them out.

My little city is alot like Vegas in some ways. Fueled by tax policy and investor dollars, something like 3,000 luxury rental/condo units have been dumped on a city of 100k. Supposedly, a combination of millennials who don't like houses and downsizing retirees will be renting these things.

They are all half vacant, and the builders, who usually have less than 5-10% invested into the "Tacky Acres Apartment Complex 37 LLC", walk away with profits from construction and tax offsets and leave the the investors with a bag of poo.
Even at that rate, I still think some form of net neutrality has to exist in the absence of decent broadband competition and/or municipal fiber being laid everywhere in the US...

Except that a least Facebook tends to show this kind of posts to no one. Instagram is worse in that your posts can't have external links at all. I guess all other social platforms will end somewhere on that continuum in their quest to keep you and your content on their site.

There is another twist. Facebook's terms of service say:

> [..] you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content [..] when you share, post, or upload content on or in connection with our Products [sic] [..]

Emphasis mine.

So if you post a link, do you grant them a license to the link itself or to the content the link points to, because it is content posted "in connection" with their product?

Holberton Is Now an International Phenomenon
Yeah, I know. I'll probably roll over my 401k into an IRA at Merrill Edge for the free trades and 75% perk on their cash back cards.

I was just highlighting the horrible rates that banks currently provide in the customer's favor even if you are a loyal patron holding a substantial (for the vast majority of people) sum of money.
The question is, why is the rent so high? The reasons are purely economic. Arbitrarily low number of housing units available (zoning laws) and subsidized behavior. Rent-Controlled apartments further remove inventory from the marketplace overall, pushing the increased cost onto other renters. Higher taxes for government subsidized transportation (buses, metro, even roads) raises the rent. You're not saving anyone any money by building these things, only moving the cost (for mass transit, people will invariably respond with the immeasurable economic benefits these things provide, but they are mistaken as to whom actually benefits).

Democracy at it's finest. I expect the rent and real estate to keep rising perpetually, that's what the voters seem to be demanding, even if indirectly.
No the hatred for PDFs is that they're filled with bloat and horribly insecure.

As for OCR, we're able to handle underlines and italics for most fonts, though I take your point on colour. If it's especially bad they fail. Ideally it wouldn't be PNGs it would be some stripped down thing. Maybe even HTML with embeded CSS / images via data tags would fit the bill, but now we're bringing in XML-esque parsers and those are garbage too. I'm just so frustrated with dealing with PDFs. They serve a billion different purposes and they're good at none of them.

They are a P2P fashion service for women, and have been around for at least 4 years (YC Winter 14). Clearly they have stalled, it seems the last money they raised was in 2015.

Cakewalk 3.0 - it's the only MIDI sequencer which represents MIDI tracks as a grid, not as bars.

I can draw it! Now, all sequencers (rather: DAWs) paints MIDI this way:

ch [======] [===========]

- bar may contain empty regions, so the bar does not really represents notes

- if you want to copy only one beat, you have to split the beginning of the beat, split at the end of the beat, copy the beat, and paste as many time as you want, then you probably want to join them together

- it even worse, when you want to copy more than one track (channel)

Cakewalk 3.x style grid:

OOOOO...OOOOOOOOOOO...

You can select notes on beat boundaries, even more tracks. Then paste it to anywhere: there are merge-paste (pasted notes will be added to existing ones) and replace-paste (affected beats will contain only pasted notes).

Anyway, handling upbeats in this grid-style editing is not comfortable, but still better than using bars.

Having money to throw around makes it a lot easier to be a "good" parent.

I grew up helping my dad with every project around the home. Economics improved over the course of my childhood and my much younger brother spent his after school time playing sports and musical instruments. He got to put that on his college applications. "Dig's a good fence post hole" is not something you put on a college application. I went to the state school that gave me the best aid. He got an almost full ride at an exclusive liberal arts college. His side projects during college were audio related. My side projects involved parting out vehicles. When you're interviewing for an entry level job at FAANG and they ask you to tell them a little bit about yourself talking about how you do custom speaker enclosures is probably a good choice. Talking about your side gig selling used car parts will get blank stares if you're lucky and make you look like white trash if you're not. We'll see what he does after college but I suspect he'll be doing better than me by the time he's 30.

Having enough money to give your kids a marginally higher class upbringing from day 1 makes a world of difference.
