Curiously, is it better to be anti-theist than anti-Muslim? I have a feeling like I can be against religion, but not one religion.
What a completely thoughtless reply. No. MacBooks still offer an excellent value in part because MacOS is less of a tire fire than Windows 10 and the hardware is still near the top. They are premium product that continues to have outsized market share in the development and education segments. The iPhone ecosystem continues to offer distinct advantages over Android in terms of privacy, support and quality. And these facts are evidenced by the market. None of this will change overnight, but it can change and furthermore the thesis here is it will change if Apple doesn’t get its act together.
Free speech on the internet is a dream. Look at what happened while Reddit tried to advocate it - shitholes like coontown, dead girl fetishes, and a lot of other shit. That's "free speech" too. Everyone has their own standards at what is acceptable in online communities.
They still represent a vastly disproportionate amount of work for how much extra money they get you.

They get you 0.1% extra sales, but they cost you 25% (= 20/80*100) extra support work. And this is nevermind the extra time spent during development.

Your point would hold if the issues reported by Linux users would also fix issues on Windows. Some issues would occur on both systems, but I bet the vast majority is weird Linux and setup specific bugs.
It's similar to the approach used by Telerik Fiddler, you only have to be admin once to install the CA and it autogenerates certificates as needed for the HTTPS mitm proxy. However, it's ca is labelled "DO NOT TRUST" so it's easy to notice in the certificate info window.
I've always worked around low-level C++ so never got the need to understand how HTTPS certificates work... until I needed to test some code for WebRTC applications.

This tool was really helpful, when you just want to test your app and don't care at all about all those security restrictions imposed by the browser, Mkcert helps so thank you a lot for this.

At the beginning it was a bit confusing because some knowledge is assumed about how all this stuff works. For complete strangers like me I ended up asking for help, this includes some exact steps that one can follow to generate and install a certificate, so it might be helpful for someone reading this:

300-400lbs is the weight of two passengers. If we were that worried about per-axle weight on the roads, we wouldn't try to encourage HOV lanes or carpooling, since more people in one car increases per-axle weight.
Also censored by payment processors and Big Tech collusion. Collusion met with indefensibly weak arguments of “just build your own”.

Build your own = shovel, lay cable, and found a bank before you get to your project, because Big Tech and Big Payment will cut you down if you say something they don’t like.
My power company has rather strict rules regarding solar deployments. If you deploy solar, you now have to pay a different rate along with a connection charge based upon your peak demand. Unfortunately the way their solar plan is written, if you simply have solar powered landscape lighting, you’re technically required to change to the solar plan. Of course they’re unlikely to maintain political will if they start handing out huge bills because a homeowner installed a few walkway lights they bought at Home Depot the last weekend, but would the power company have such an unenforced policy if people started installing solar powered AC units? If these units aren’t grid tied, there’s no reason for the power company to be informed and they would remain ignorant of a resident’s solar usage, and the resident is unlikely to be moved onto a solar plan. But with this DeepSolar project, my power company has an easy way to monitor solar panel deployment at scale and easily automate billing, including retroactive fines. So much for my plans to build non-grid connected solar AC. This technology enables an unforeseen risk to the economics.

But, it is cool, so congrats to whoever built it... just makes me worried that it will he used for unforeseen purposes.
In particular, AMD released the open source graphics drivers (AMDGPU) in 2016.

There are still problems with nVidia/nouveau, but that's easily solved by not buying their hardware.

The Intel iGPU drivers have also been solid for a long time, though the hardware may not be fast enough depending on the game.
The stats might be measured differently: Steam might not report a Linux user as such if they played on Windows at first (or something like that), while the tickets might be correctly labeled as Linux-specific by the user.

I work on a large app, our tech stack is varied greatly. One section of the app is Flex :( The majority of the older stuff is a blend of some home grown libraries, ExtJS 2, 2.2, 3, 4, some YUI, and a boatload of "do what you want" CSS. The newer stack I developed for use on new or refactored pages uses RequireJS, jQuery, some plugins, and Bootstrap3

JBL’s Android TV soundbar with Google Assistant gets spring release date
I think probably one of the most advanced languages in that respect is ClojureScript. ClojureScript is fully self hosting and you can 'eval' in the browser.

I don't really use ClojureScript, but it was a milestone that took a couple of years of leg work to get going.

ClojureScript is also in wide production use, I have not seen another compile to JS language that works as well.
I use it every day at work and there are days where I leave thinking its the best language on the planet and others where it makes me throw my laptop through a wall.

Wouldn't have it any other way haha

That's not how it works in the United States. As a non government entity Netflix is perfectly within their right to censor or restrict their customers any way they see fit, as long as they don't discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. Also It seems people in Saudi Arabia have no right to freedom of speech unlike in the United States.
I read it more as an admission that they underestimated how hard it is to a game to work consistently across Linux graphics drivers. The user reports are used as a metric, not to damn the users.
>we need to revisit the 4,000lb standard for sedans

Agreed. A quick Google search shows the average US vehicle is 4,000 lbs or above, but that includes vans and trucks and SUVs. The average sedan is closer to or below 3500 lbs.
You can also use 127.0.0.1.xip.io for that with no modifications to hosts.
Circadian clocks and insulin resistance
Though much older homes do exist, in the US (they're using a "$" in their comment) 50 years +/- 10 years is pretty commonly the average age for a "mature" house where most of the cities the homes are in weren't established until the mid-to-late 1800's. Especially for the suburbs, which are about the age of these homes.

I grew up in a home built in 1954. It didn't survive a World War, but it's had its fair share of powerful tornadoes, blizzards, and the like and has been relatively unscathed since its inception (minus a new sewer line). With timber framing!
I'm almost 99% certain that everyone who's this concerned - already has a domain. (or they can get a free domain from something like .tk - as it really does not matter since this is for pure local development).

So I feel like the following workflow is simpler no?

1. Use something like local.mydomain.com as your local dev domain. (set the DNS in Cloudflare / Netlify etc. to 127.0.0.1)

2. Use Let's encrypt to generate certs for that domain.

Am I going about this the wrong way? (or is there something super insecure that I've missed?)

Objectively, lots of our business. Mainly because what is done behind closed doors rarely stays behind closed doors, and also because of said crimes that can occur behind closed doors.

Ie, I can't sit behind closed doors and commit horrible crimes against humans and then claim "What business is it of yours?".

That of course is not to say that we don't have some right to privacy, to independence and etc. Yet, standing behind a claim of "what happens behind closed doors is none of your business" seems to willfully ignore so much.
Of course there's nuance allowed. We're talking about human speech, it's basically all nuance.

If you say that Saudi funding churches, businesses, housing, etc. is not good for Britain for a reason other than you have something against Saudis as a people then you're fine.

If you say you're against all churches because you're an anti-theist then you're fine.

There is absolutely exclusion based on ethnicity. It's extremely important to recognize that there is a difference between someone who is religiously Muslim and ethnically Muslim -- same with Judaism -- and same with Christianity too as well but we don't call it that because we're the default in the West. Saying there is no such thing ignores the dominating cultural impact of religious institutions.

Religion has historically always been used as a tool to assert political power. Mosques often get financed by undemocratic regimes, in particular Mohammad bin Salman's Saudi-Arabia, which most definitely funds Mosques in a political influence operation.
The consumption probably grew due to Asia and Africa using more electricity, but in the western world?

In 2008 I had a stationary computer taking 350W-400W, a bunch of 100W lightbulbs in my house, a TV, and an old fridge. Now I have 60W laptop that took over my TV as well, and most of the lightbulbs are the power efficient ones taking 10-20W, 100W ones are not even being sold in Europe (a few exceptions aside).

(Just checked - in Europe, electricity consumption was on the rise to around 2008, and then remained static and even fell a bit)
Why should vendors care? Even Qualcomm outright admitted that they prefer to "ship it and drop it" rather than keep supporting old devices.

Whatever "true diversity" is it's not worth having unless _people_ can choose their own values to some extent, IMO.

Fascist cultures should not be tolerated, fascist people should (inasmuch as their fascism does not impact others against those other's own wills, of course).

Demanding SA allow freedom for individuals to exercise their own conscience would be supporting a morally defensible notion of diversity.

One major problem is that some religions (eg Islam) and religious groups (eg Mormons) have central ideologies that are antithetical to freedom of conscience; making them incompatible with many freedoms associated with democratic societies (speech, thought, association).
Too bad Planetary Annihilation was a poorly optimized, buggy, under-delivered piece of shit on Windows too.
The science of naming a side project
We expect individuals to behave morally. Companies are richer, more powerful, more organised and more capable than individuals, so why should we hold them to a lower standard of behaviour?

Human society of any sort is only possible because our species evolved beyond purely selfish behaviour to co-operate for the greater good. Modern civilisation is reliant on the majority of individuals following moral codes, instilled by cultural, religious and familial institutions and enforced by community action. We do not allow "profit-seeking" as a pass for acting immorally.

If companies want to enjoy the rights given to individuals within our societies, such as freedom to operate, equal treatment and protection under the law, etc. Then they also need to be bound by the same moral codes that allows successful co-operation between individual people. Allowing companies to have full legal rights while exempting them from moral responsibility is just as unfair and dangerous as it is to give a certain class of human the freedom to ignore moral norms without consequence.
Well, after learning C++ there wouldn't be any regrets left to have.
I suggest taking the same sorts of steps recommended in the article, when responding to the article.

Instead of having a judging/shaming/punishing reaction toward the author, read the article generously, and try to understand what may have made the author behave in the way she behaved. She gives plenty of fodder for that. And that is exactly what you think she should have done with her child (and which she eventually did do).

And based on what she wrote in the article and on her comments elsewhere in this thread, I don't think she's saying her actions with her child were justified - she is instead embarassed by her actions, and is giving people very valuable advice for things to look out for in your life that may make you behave in that judging/shaming/punishing manner, even when you don't believe you're the sort of person who might make these mistakes.

Perhaps take some time for self-reflection - you said that you were trying to hold off on judgement of their parenting - so why did you ultimately feel that judgement was necessary? As you note, the author did figure things out - are you saying that writing about a mistake, and the solution to that mistake, is "not wildly impressive" in general? If that's case, would you argue that post-mortems of tech problems are not wildly impressive?
Most new EVs have more range than the average human bladder. After four hours of driving, most people are going to need to pee. Current-generation EVs on 50kW fast-chargers can hit 80% charge in 30 minutes, which is only slightly longer than the average dwell time at a freeway service plaza. 150kW chargers are now commercially available, which (when connected to a vehicle with suitable battery cooling) cut the time to 80% charge to about 15 minutes.

I'm sure that some people do drive for over four hours without taking a break, but I don't think that it's a safe or healthy thing to do.

The technology is good enough already - we're just waiting for it to become widely distributed.
> Why are we, in 2018, still relying on giant centralized corporations to connect us and "allow" us to have our own (shocker) chatroom on their servers?

We're not though, but why are you posting this in a centralized, censored / managed comment section while you could go to one of the decentralized open source alternatives currently being worked on? It's not about options, it's about what everyone wants - engagement, being where the crowds are, being heard, reading other people's opinions. As long as they align enough with your own, of course.

Just meaning the website CDecl - its a neat tool to make C readable in English, but Ada is a real language used to make planes fly etc. Many people have contempt for it though which is why I made the joke xD

Interesting that you can note which type of memory an anonymous type comes from in Rust. I suppose its for optimization purposes? Doesn't seem that helpful from a pure typing perspective.

As an aside I doubt a layman would be able to understand that notation in Rust, whereas my girlfriend might be able to grasp or read Ada code or the output of CDecl.

The Axxe was almost my first synth. When I first got into synths in the mid 90's, I was looking for a starter synth. The music store had an Axxe for $150 and a Korg Poly 800 for $80. I ultimately went with the Poly 800, but looking back it would have been pretty cool to have the Axxe!
For me, the default act was accepting the first job offer when I was searching. That behavior meant that I wasn't really consciously choosing a career path, which was not optimal. Since the next job frequently keys off of the experience of the prior job, I wound up spending an entire career in an industry that I didn't consciously choose.

This comes up all the time by people that usually lack Android developer experience, specially with the NDK.

Nothing on the Android app stack exposes the underlying Linux kernel to app developers.

Yes it is possible to access certain paths or syscalls, however none of them are part of the public API nor guarantee to work across devices.

Only OEMs have direct contact with the underlying Linux kernel, which could be replaced tomorrow without any issues for app developers, e.g. Fuchsia.
You are so true, and your voices like yours are rarely heard.

iPhones are made for California, and their usefulness quickly dwindles as you leave that area. It can be seen in so many things that you mentioned.

1) Dual SIMs are the only way to have a reasonable phone bill in many countries where the phone companies allow free in-network calls, but extortionate rate for numbers out of network. So the only option is buying multiple phones.

2) Charging an iPhone in Africa can be hard, try finding a USB-C cable! The world standard is still that little USB-Mini that we all hate, and it will stay that way for another decade even if USB-C is on every Macbook.

3) Charging every evening makes sense for people with 9-5 jobs in countries with stable electricity. When you hustle through long days and then power is cut you have to face that tough decision of using your phone as a flash-light or being able to receive whatsapps until power returns. The biggest rip-off in africa these days are battery packs with solar cells on them. The buyer images the salvation from all their charging problems, unfortunately they don't work well.

4) Repairing in iPhone is expensive, repairing anything else is really cheap. The repair market in the developing world is very developed. But iPhone stores aren't.

5) There isn't the iMessage or Facetime ecosystem advantage.

6) Having iCloud tied to an email address doesn't make sense for the generation that skipped email. Yes, the vast majority of the developing world never really got into email, they might have one but it is simply so they can log into Facebook and the lost the password a long time ago. I was banging my head against the wall trying to fix an iCloud account of a friend in Sudan, design decisions in California don't work there.

I could mention so many more, instead I continue to lug my macbook and iphone through the developing world because I'm a glutton for punishment and like to see the look on the Genius' face when I drop it off to be cleaned.
I would take this article a step further and say that all the "bottom lines" in the article can be affixed with ", if they don't feel they have a purpose".

Most people live meaningless lives, that is why they feel empty. If you're just chasing the next raise or promotion or just raising a family so that they in turn can do the same you will inevitably end up feeling empty, whether you're living by default or not.
On the other hand, if you have some goal or passion you are pursuing ( one that you believe to be even more important than yourself) , then you will find yourself in the right city, surrounded by the right people, as a result of that.

I agree with the article for the most part but I think it's missing a big piece as far as suggesting _what_ should be driving all these "default" people to change.
