It is crazy to me we continue to allow our leaders to have this government shutdown football to play with. Change the law so that by default the previous level of funding is re-authorized if no new deal is reached or better yet trigger a reelection of our representatives if they fail to reach a new funding deal.
The title doesn't say it is uniquely age related.
We have to wait until 22 paragraphs down we get the vague statement "International sanctions and plummeting oil production have further weakened an already floundering economy".

Gee, the superpower to the North (unmentioned by name) putting sanctions on Venezuela may have had an effect?

The New York Times celebrated the coup that tried to overturn Chavez's election.

And Trump's political party regularly lambasts the Times doing distant commitment to liberal values.

Actually Trump is celebrating the election in Brazil, which has Lula jailed. Obama helped Honduras's military overturn the election there. This is the caliber of the mentioned "Lima Group" that is against Maduro.
> Hum... No. Abstractions can hide anything.

Sure, I'm not going to argue the meaning of "state". You know what I mean. Hiding internal state is good for abstraction.

> Besides, your example get much of its gains by hiding the behavior of that 'if' statement than by hiding that 'buttonClicked' stores the button data.

The if statement is intrinsically linked to the boolean state. If your render function forgets its implicit state on every update, then it needs to painstakingly analyse an external state and recreate its internal state. That's a cost which can be avoided.
MacBooks don’t seem like great developer machines anymore. The keyboards are really lacking (bad travel and lack of useful keys), the touch bar is a silly gimmick, it needs 50 dongles to connect to anything, and every macOS update seems to break developer tools in surprising ways.

It's just a very little Node thing I made in a serious bout of procrastination, but I'm surprised I've not seen anything like it around before - general, quick to use, easy to share, doesn't try to snoop on you. I'm sure it already exists in lots of forms, and I'd love comments and criticisms because it's one of the first things I've really coded (which is mildly exhilarating).
I very much like my Asus UX305C, with its 3200x1800 display. Works a treat in Linux, and is a beauty to behold.
For anyone who's interested in a more long-form, intuitive explanation of the fourier transform and how you can use it to multiply polynomials, I'd highly recommend Erik Demaine's lecture on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTMn0Kt18tg.
Apple online/phone tech support is fantastic, I've only used them a few times but they were knowledgeable, helpful and I got to talk to someone with 2 minutes every time so far. Apple stores are a godsend as well and have gone the extra mile even when the Mac in question has been out of warranty.
It does work though. X can't be configured with 2 different DPIs at all.

I've dropped OS X because of multi monitor setup not working, but works great on Linux with KDE
Some examples from my latest (Ubuntu 18.04) linux experience:
- Does hidpi work? For ALL applications, and flawlessly?
- Is the desktop responsive, or does it feel laggy?
- File manager:Can I customize my favourites, including removing the builtin ones?
- Can you use a lot of good desktop applications? Like MS Word, Adobe Photoshop, and similar? Or Google Drive, Pixelmator, Dash, Flux, tools in general that may have a small price but make your work considerably faster?
- Does bluetooth audio work flawlessly, like, you can use a bt audio device, then stop, then start again?
- does the system include a braindead, just-works backup-and-restore system?

Sure: if you know Linux well enough, AND YOU SPEND ENOUGH TIME ON YOUR SYSTEM, you can fix most of the above issues (I could not fix the Gnome DE latency with hidpi, btw). But I don't want to waste my time fixing my desktop; I want to pay, and my desktop should just work.

Then: if you like the Linux desktop, feel free to use it.
Some people try that, too (and XFCE). Admittedly, they're better than a tiling window manager, but LXDE's last stable release was 2016 and it doesn't have a compositor so all of that graphics hardware in your computer specialized to prevent X11 DAMAGE events from forcing applications redraws and for saving power is going unused.
Well, in my office, we have both OSX and Linux users and it's only the Linux users who can daisy chain our monitors using displayport MST!

since it’s above and beyond customary work duties, you’d expect extra compensation of some kind to have you refrain from projects unrelated to the job. there are some exceptions of course. security-related government workers could be subject to extra restrictions without extra compensation, for example.
That's cool!

We were doing similar things ourselves with GPG. But ultimately we'd forget the exact command, or the copy-pasting in then out of Slack was enough of a barrier that we'd basically never bother.

Curious how such a small barrier was a blocker. Our hypothesis is that, if we can make `fk secret send` easier than literally everything else, people will default to it, and it'll be a win for security. We shall see!
The first two issues both sound like you have misconfigured DNS and the first resolver in your list is invalid (and has to time out). The same misconfiguration under OSX would be likely to create the same issues.

My aunt Lucy in a nursing home has a phone and thinks that Facebook is the bee's knees -- she can keep up with what her family is up to.

I get many "This email was sent with an iPhone" messages from oldsters. Nothing gets talked about in breathless tones in the New York Times (e.g. Apple products) unless it appeals to the 50+ set. Note how "fall detection" is a selling point of the new iWatch.

If you'd been around long enough you'd notice that selling things to oldsters based on recapturing their youth or vicariously enjoying the youth of youngsters has been a big business for a long time. It had a lot to do with how baby boomers were celebrated in the 1960s (e.g. hippies did not read the New York Times, but oldsters did) Eventually boomers became the target audience and the breathless talk was about millennials.

Gen X got skipped mercifully because there were too few of us to move the needle.

>>Fox News is the only major mainstream media source that has completely turned news into dishonest influencing operation.>>

To me, it's ideas like this that perpetuate the problem. It clings to the idea that journalists and journalism - at least that which is sold via mainstream media channels - are capable of some kind of pristine objectivity. They aren't. It is much healthier in my opinion to understand that news is not special within its medium. It's entertainment like everything on every other channel. It's somewhat less fictional obviously, but the entertainment motive is what lies behind it.

I would suggest instead that Fox News was the first major mainstream media source that dropped the pretensions and openly did what "news" has been doing since Walter Kronkite but with an equal and opposite bias. And to that extent, it has had a beneficial effect on society: we now know to watch carefully what a given journalist decides to report on and what they don't and we work harder to extract facts, if there are any, from the pre-determined narratives they are wrapped in. Whether purposely or not, they made news look like a joke. And we are smarter now because of it.
A mini-HDMI port seems like an odd choice. Considering most people who might use it will probably have to buy some kind of adaptor anyway, it seems like it would've been easier just to require a USB-C to HDMI adaptor and leverage the MHL Alternative Mode spec.[0] That, in my mind, would be preferable to adding another port that hardly anyone will use to the phone. Pretty much every smartphone/tablet I've ever owned supported some form of MHL, even when most of them only had MicroUSB.

Languages and platforms generally are best supported on linux. Clojure, haskell, python, anything except the platform provided by the Apple/Microsoft is easier to configure on linux.

C++ ecosystem sucks a lot when you have to build 5 libraries using 5 different building systems. Linux package managers do that for you.
How do you like the NUC? I have been toying with the idea of buying a mini computer like that. I don't really want a full-size desktop tower, but I also don't really want to go the route of a laptop in a docking station.
It's actually available for free.

Linux Mint 19 (xfce) on any Thinkpad (T-series) is absolutely phantastic. Everything works either out of the box or is trivial to set up. LM 19 also works perfect on my gf's cheap Acer - which is saying something.

I even converted my clueless father on his old days to Linux thanks to LM 19 xfce.
Sounds like you just got lucky with the versions you happened to need vs what the system versions were on your version/distro of Linux. It's not like Linux has a built-in solution to the problem, you can definitely still have issues with conflicting versions.

BTW, on either platform your best bet IMO is installing all your scripting languages within some kind of version manager. I like pyenv, rbenv, and nodenv since they work exactly the same way between the three languages.
Anecdotal like other comments but I and a few others from my workplace have switched to Dell XPS machines and run Linux now, and it's because we're working with Docker, even with 16GB RAM and solid-state drives, the performance of Docker on MacOS is pathetic, and entirely unusable for our work.

The XPS machines we have are ugly, they're flimsy, they have a grotesque carbon-fibre pattern on them, the keys leave imprints on the monitor after the lid has been closed, the fan drowns out the sound of music in my apartment, the camera is situated about 5mm above the keyboard with it's rickety keys, it is without a doubt the ugliest, the worst computer I have owned, I eat tramadol just to handle the back-pain from carrying it around in my rucksack, but I'm much less angry and frustrated working on it than I am on a Mac because it doesn't shit it's pants when more than a few containers are running.
My decade of PowerMacs and Macbooks ended three years ago, sadly I started using it when iTunes still had m4p and I'm too lazy these days to go through the elaborate extraction processes.

I'm just a single data point, although I've seen others complain about it online. I would love it if the major sites would release stats on this. As frustrating as it can be, especially in bullet, I'm more curious than anything. If the phenomenon is real, it could hold some surprising lessons for how design affects user behavior.
They actually had a new game, Artifact, come out the end of November. It didn't have a good reception, mostly due to unrealistic expectations set by people in the beta, but they've commited to supporting and improving it for a long time.
I've used both macbooks and linux and have never noticed a difference, so I have no clue what sort of impact I'm supposed to be noticing.
I like Dia enough, but lately InkScape is what’s up. Both use file formats that could be generated from source as part of the build, as well.
That's a nice anecdote, but it's also really bad buttering.
There's absolutely no empirical evidence to support the notion that static typing has a significant impact on errors https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/

Of course, if it makes you feel better personally that's great for you and you should keep using it. However, if you're going to make wide sweeping claims regarding that, then they have to be rooted in more than just your personal experience and rationalizing.

I use cmus on the command line because it enables me to quickly slide over and really quickly adjust my playlist using only the keyboard. With a GUI player that would require much more steps.
The fact Python 2 has been well supported because the community cares does not make it modern, nor recomended. Just like I wouldn't call php 4 modern, nor recommend it over php 5 or 7.

And the reason you don't see that for ruby or node is because their community said "move or die". And many, many projects just died. I've seen the graveyard in the corporate world.
I do this with my son all the time to see if he’s listening / get him to think critically. I always let him know if he doesn’t catch on though so he’s not misinformed.
How does that fail? I've never had issues with multi-monitor, and they've always been 3 different resolutions (with one rotated 90). I'm not doubting you, as my current win10 install won't let me change the default JSON association away from visual studio and I can't find anyone else with that problem. I'm just curious what fails, since I haven't encountered problems with multi-monitor since XP.
Not exactly your experience, but using a single (non-4k) external monitor is slightly painful for me with my MBP. It sometimes takes ~10 seconds for my display to work after plugging it in, with lots of intermittent flickering as the OS "figures it out". And afterwards, the menu bar on the external is a bit glitchy looking on the right side until I click on it. With my other laptop running Fedora the experience is much faster/cleaner.

Not a big deal, but just thought I'd mention that macOS isn't exactly perfect when it comes to external monitors.
Correct. As evidences by modern architecture when you aim for utility then you get neither beauty nor utility, because people do not want to inhabit an ugly place, but if you aim for beauty you will get both.

Beauty transcends the living into a state it could not achieve by mere utility.
As far as I remember, Terminal, iTerm2.
> That said I wouldn't have anything against making hunting hunters legal. :D At least if they're above a certain income level and thus don't have a practical need to hunt.

I know it's in jest, but I hunt (very occasionally) mostly to remind myself of the reality that the meat I eat comes from the taking of a life. It has nothing to do with physical need.

I think it's much more wrong to eat meat and hide how it is obtained from one's self than it is to stay at least tentatively connected to the reality.

Do This and Get Instantly Bigger Testicles
It sounds like you hit the point in Linux where this is painful: mixed DPI displays with mixed display scaling. Wayland fixes that. And soon, we'll finally have fractional scaling, too. GNOME is close to delivering that. So, it's getting better.
That's not really what taxes are for, historically. Paying for the things that everyone uses in common, that's what you get taxed for. That and discouraging unwanted behavior.
Maybe your brother needs to learn how to take things one step at a time if this would make him quit at first glance. I don't understand why it's a bad thing to have a consolidated source of information like this, I would have loved to have a detailed roadmap as a beginner. These graphics lays things out very clearly and obviously you don't need to rush through the steps.
Their product wasn't fit for purpose for the first five years or so*. Of which their marketing mentioned nothing and they were extremely misleading when questioned.

It's a shame really because they did the whole onboarding really well, you could literally get it up and running in a couple of minutes and it was extremely easy to use for developers.
One gets the impression that optionality is only theoretical. Same for separate binaries. The degree of coupling in the systemd architecture is enormous. So then, what purpose do separate binaries serve other than being able to (conveniently) be used for deflection or provide a certain facade?

The philosophy of systemd exemplified through PRAXIS is one of subsumption and uniformity (== taking away choice) under a singular vision defined by the systemd implementors. In practice, this means that you are penalized in various ways if you don't "buy in all the way". You can take a look at all the distributions that ship systemd by default and see how many have bought in all the way vs not using the "additional functionality".
We use confluence. It integrates with Jira and SAML so we have all of our users in there and it's really convenient to mention a ticket number or a team member and have it automatically import the details.

The main point that confluence does really poorly (for me) is the lack of an external editor and the absolutely shameful support for Markdown.

If I could edit the page with git like interface and an external editor (like you can do on Github), it would be absolutely amazing and would make it a killer product for us.

Moving to another solution without deep integration to confluence/Jira is not possible since those are being used by product as well.
Exactly right, except one of my grandmas only sends me articles from Snopes. It's kind of like reverse fake news. The only online contact I get from her is articles debunking fake news, but, never any actual real news.
That reads to me like you can still have servers, just without them using the Unity runtime. Is using the Unity runtime for servers common? The multiplayer Unity games that I know of don't do that.
Stanford ISL – Methods to soundly verify deep neural networks
This is excellent news. Great to hear this.
One thing I've noticed about the blogs I read is that they usually provide sources, while even reputable media outlets like the NYT or WSJ will often publish articles about the results of a new study without naming it or linking to it. Having a source or sources is a key differentiator between good news, news that misinterprets or exaggerates the data but is still loosely related to reality, and completely fake news.
I'm planning to introduce react after he has a few small js projects under his belt. I agree vanilla JS is not enough to land a job.
Not necessarily. Many developers still write their own engines, they just don't usually make high-end graphical AAA type games. Even then it is possible, as Jonathan Blow proves.

There's roughly half a key of trackpad to the left of F, and roughly 1.5 to the right of J. For me that's mis-aligned with where my hands rest, even if both component blocks are neatly case centred for pretty and symmetric photos.

The moral of which is, I suppose, that personal preferences are hard to align. :)
Shouldn't it be "So Long, macOS. Hello again, Linux?" I have known people who has done the same, and are back again on macOS. Give it a bit, and it will pass.
Its highly unlikely that retroactively changing an agreement like that is actually legal.
The "news" was the "science journalism", not the "science". Science journalism can often be "fake news"... and a refutation by an antagonist isn't necessary for "fake news".

Many of the original news stories about the paper were the "fake news".

Yes, as far as I know, running a headless version of the game (Unity in "batch mode") is how a lot of (most?) games do dedicated authoritative servers, otherwise your server wouldn't actually be running the same game. Or am I misunderstanding something?

I'm a designer by trade and I think Lichess is really well done. They've managed to pack a ton of features and have a game that works well for me on both mobile and web.

Certainly there are ways that it could be improved, but calling it "terrible" seems like a huge exaggeration to me and does practically warrant an illustrative alternative that would better suit the OP.

I've also never been of the belief that mobile and should have exactly the same interface specifically given the different restrictions of the mediums.
I don't know how 1password works; I'm using keepassxc.

With keepassxc you have native application and extension, that communicate together via socket. The native application can use whatever native APIs it wants.

However, back to you. What's more weird, if it is pure Firefox Webextension, that Firefox (still by default) launches as X11 application under Wayland, so the extension should have no way to know the difference.
