If a ship is sinking it’s perfectly logical to first save the ship and then criticize the crew afterwards. Calling someone a hypocrite because they critique the captain but didn’t let the ship sink seems kind of odd.
Smaller uCs will also consume less power which is another important consideration.

Thanks.

Vim is still actively developed btw. The latest version has added a bunch of new things that are very useful.

I guess I just didn't want to get into a loop of having to read every changelog in detail for every package I install, then compile from source for all of these packages (or use the default distro's version if it's ok). That just seems like a lot of extra work. Manually hunting around and installing dependencies isn't fun at all, and third party PPAs aren't necessarily going to be around for everything.

I'm also used to the Windows world where you would typically download the latest stable release of a program. Of course on a Linux server, I'm always reaching for Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS but that's a different story.

First things first. I need to test Ubuntu 18.04 with the Scarlett and see how it goes.
Well I'm not sure this mentality won't have consequences, I find myself doing what you do. Not precisely because of trust or because I think they're well behaved but simply because I don't care about the tracking and, while I'm not certain, I do hope nothing bad comes of it.

In fact, I actually bought the pixel 3 just two weeks ago. It's nice.
When I was struggling with CSS at my first job (2011), the thing that made it click for me was learning the significance of the `display` property and its possible values. After I learned that each `display` value causes the element to be rendered in a certain way, and that some CSS properties were only useful for certain `display` values, it became much easier to predict how the layout would look and to organize the CSS properties in my head.

For example, it cleared up a lot of questions when I learned that `display: block` elements naturally expand to the greatest width they can while matching the height of their contents.

Also, the Mac app CSSEdit (now folded into Espresso; https://espressoapp.com/) helped me learn the various CSS properties thanks to its GUI interface that listed properties by category, such as Text, Decoration, and Layout. It had icons for each possible value of each property that made it easy to remember what values each property supported. A useful feature of the app was letting me load an arbitrary web page and edit its styles with its GUI editor – I could see which properties were more often useful and how switching the between the possible values would change the look.
Twitter News First Timeline: What it is and all its feature?
We attempted to find the location of the broken wire with X-rays, but couldn't spot the break. Time-domain reflectometry suggests the break is inconveniently located in the middle of the core planes. We are currently investigating options to deal with this.

Depending on what it was potted with, dissolving the potting to repair it might be feasible. Many others have done this with (admittedly less rare and fragile) not-easily-replaceable electronics before, but it's a difficult and time-consuming process. The 38AWG wire is ~0.1mm so the traditional "pick out bits of potting" method is unlikely to keep the wire intact --- something more like dissolving and gently washing away the compound would be preferable.
I also am on Fi, the feature would at least get my attention. The biggest problem I would have currently with going to your service is the fact that it is on the Sprint network, currently the last place provider in my area.

I use several streaming services and I've never had to pay over and over for the same content. Hell, more often than not, I don't have to pay anything for the content I actually want to see, as long as I'm willing to tolerate advertising, which is fine by me as long as it isn't too intrusive.

I understand this is a Napster thread and as a result the most enthusiastically pro-piracy, anti-capitalist contingent of HN is going to show up and wave the black flag but at least try to be honest about the pros and cons for both. Streaming services do have their dark patterns and anti-consumer practices but they still offer something of value to the consumer, and despite what people want to believe, are more convenient than piracy for many people.
They could have built their own Group FaceTime in their mom's basement in a weekend. With blackjack and hookers!
Maybe it is just me but... The interest we here at HN have in showcasing service outages seems like it's mostly because we want to point to some big/other company and say "see they went down!" so we can feel better about it when our own services go down.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, that's what I was thinking as well.

To be fair, the said app clearly told people what exact data would be collected and how it will be used. If people does want and chose to sell their data, is that still morally corrupt for the company collecting the data?

In my experience large majority of non-tech people do not care much about their data being collected and would be happily accept monetary reward for things like their location history, usage stats etc. Assume that data collector is using this information to show you relevant ad. I wonder why would it be so much bad to see relevant ad then irrelevant ad? It's not that you are going to stop seeing ads anytime soon.

So the question is: If data producer is happy to sell the information and data collector is using it to enhance the user experience (i.e. no evil intent), would you still consider this bad or immoral?
Funny you are accusing those employees of nefarious political motivations when you are pushing your politics up and down the thread (and others) in your sub-day-old anonymous account.
Certainly nobody was forced to do it, but it is more than likely that nobody understood what they were being asked to do. Not only that, children were being targeted by this scheme. Lastly, the implementation on iOS circumvented rules relating to an app distribution which shows Facebook’s proclivity for flouting the rules.

Pushing the app distribution thing aside, being aboveboard in every other respect is still insufficient justification for ethically questionable processes.

Facebook has a history of unscrupulous untrustworthiness which should not be overlooked when examining the implications of the scheme, particularly the requirement to install a root certificate. To ignore the context of the polemic, to pretend Facebook is just another company rather than one of the largest collectors of personal, private information on the planet, multiple times caught invading peoples' privacy through less than honourable means, is foolhardy at best and dangerous at worst.

> i.e. the higher the tax rates, the more contortions people will engage in to avoid those taxes

Citation needed. E.g. Ireland has only a 10% corporate tax rate, but we still see corporations headquartered there engaging in contortions to avoid paying even that much.

I would rather suspect the kind of person who avoids a 70% tax also avoids a 50% tax or a 30% tax, and vice versa.

Every user has different abilities and preferences. A human designer can only consider a small subset of them. This is the reason why all interfaces we have go from terrible to mediocre.

User interface design and implementation has to be automated. The current paradigm doesn't scale, neither for providers nor users. It's perhaps software's main bottleneck.

This is not a new idea. I'm sure many people are working on this, but I still think this is something we don't talk about enough.
Car deaths happen constantly. The problem with self driving tech is nobody seems to be bearing the responsibility when they happen. There is a perverse disconnect of responsibility that will not easily be mitigated to the likings of ethics and profit at once.

To be fair to cloudflare, this is what the website being protected pays them to do. They can't effectively block malicious actors that are 100x more sophisticated than me, without being able to analyze that data.

I understand the risk of "evil" they could pull off with such a huge portion if internet traffic flowing through them, but the "you pay us for this service" model means they don't _need_ to monetize in evil ways. Whether they end up doing that or not remains to be seen.

I'm 100% against AMP though. As noted elsewhere, Google has repeatedly demonstrated they're not to be trusted.
You might be interested in the setting makeprg:

set makeprg=python\ %

Vim comes with the :make command which is handy for compiling projects with Makefiles. But you can also set a different value for makeprg to do whatever you want for the current file. Of course you still to set up a key binding in your VimRC:

map <F5> :make<enter>

> instead of "save, exit, ./myscript, vi myscript".

This is something I see a lot of people doing. Obviously, it is not efficient. There is no harm in having another terminal window open where you run the script. If you are using SSH, you can use tmux or screen to have several terminals in one SSH session. And lastly, if you have to edit several different files, do not exit vim to switch files. Learn to use the :e and :b commands.

> Hardhats aren't just for clumsy people, seatbelts aren't just for bad drivers, and memory protection isn't just for careless programmers. There's no shame in engineering a situation to maximize safety for the people who will use it.

There's an inherent bias in the choice of analogy. There are many potential metaphors that aren't as favorable as hardhats or seat belts. How about a leash or blinders?

> There's a whole lot of smart people who like static typing for the safety benefits it brings to their programming. Web browsers are the front lines: where one click on a stringly-typed reference can cause unknown third-party code to run on your computer.

URIs have a rather well defined type and you can easily detect a malformed URI. The problem Google seems to intend to address, and the way they intend to address it, has nothing to do with the type of the URI but ultimately how its value should be conveyed and heuristic restrictions on what forms the values may take. This leads to situations where valid URIs are treated as invalid, based on arbitrary heuristics, not a tightening of the type of value a URI encodes.

The more apparent problem, from your description, seems to be that websites can at all use your computer to execute arbitrary third-party code. Addressing this by vaguely limiting what URIs you may access is a weird way not to take the bull by the horns. To somehow hide information that is part of the URI to make it more clear what resource the URI represent is just ass-backwards.

The architecture for Handoff isn’t available on Windows (and it would be much more complex than a simple library since so much of the networking and Bluetooth stacks are entirely different between platforms), so no.

Back in 1995 my friend and I ordered a T1 with the intention of starting up a web hosting company. The startup didn't work, but we did end up with blazingly fast (for the time) internet access. I still remember downloading the first version of Netscape and it took just a few seconds. I almost fell out of my chair!

Long story short, things must have been so crazy and disorganized at the vendor (I guess) that even though we never paid a single invoice for the T1, they took over a year to shut us off.

>I'm not saying we should purposefully agree on killing all but one framework, but the ideal situation is if one or two come out at the top as being just the best in their category so that everyone just use them, and all efforts converge towards those.

That assumes you can have a single framework with all the features people want without causing issues (conflicting basic designs, high cost to maintain, deployment costs, configuration costs, etc.).

Just because there are a couple of cows that might look like they are living the dream cow life (for 4 years out of 20, because they don't produce enough milk to be economically viable and kept alive after that) and still the calves have to murdered early on to get all that milk (it is originally made for calve consumption, not people).

Correct, we do not need to monetize user traffic in evil ways. Our customer is the owner of a website, or someone exposing an API backend for an app, etc. They pay us for the service. They pay us more than it costs us to run the service. If we started monetizing our customers' traffic we'd be out of business in a flash.
That's how bad analogies go.

I think this might be in part due to Edward Tufte's philosophy, as especially described in his book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information [1]. He uses "ink to data ratio" as a measure of the effectiveness of numerical charts. This superficially makes sense: why add more visual noise if it adds no more information? As an example, he suggesting shortening the axes on scatter plots to reflect the range of data in each dimension, which is a win-win: it adds more information and reduces ink. Boxes around objects and lines separating things are specifically called out as especially evil, since they add ink without contributing any information. I think this idea may have leaked from quantitative displays to general design.

The flaw of course is that more ink does not necessarily mean more visual noise. With the axes example, disconnecting them means that you now have two high-level visual objects rather than one, and the whole chart starts to looks like a mess of individual objects on the page. If you have several graphs next to each other then it's much easier to focus one and exclude the others if they're in boxes rather than having component objects floating indistinctly near each other. But Tufte only sees a count of black blobs of ink or black pixels, as if each one has its own mental cost.

As an aside, the book is still fantastic because it has loads of examples of unconventional charts and figures, and you can just ignore the text (or, better, read it skeptically). I found out about it from xkcd originally [2] and I suspect that many others did too.

Remember when putting a picture of yourself on the internet or even using your real name was controversial? The old generation warned not to do it, ever! But teens did it widely and profusely.

Now the new controversy is data. Don't ever sell your data! Don't give up your data! But teens are doing it widely and profusely.

At some point you just have to accept that new people will be born and will have new ideas and just won't give a fuck. As a business you can either sit on the sidelines and watch or capitalize on it.

Facebook will lead the way to allow for smaller players to get away with doing this as well.

It was accurate but a bit overgeneralized for me:

"You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for."

Chicago suburban for me. I'm actually southwest of the city, but the NY Times quiz heat map puts me in the Buffalo/Cleveland/Detroit/Chicago zone, quite rightly, but different than the city proper. Before a certain Saturday Night Live sketch, I never said "Da Bears," ever, so I don't have the South Side accent which that parodies.

Of course, even in that range there are differences. Most Chicagoans wouldn't know what a "weck" was if it jumped up and bit them (which would be a neat trick, since it's a roast beef sandwich served in the Buffalo area).

The NYT quiz has some judgement calls for me, though, since I use a variety of different terms sometimes (highways being a good example).

This is dishonest. Things like plumbing, electricity, typography, agriculture, electronics, woodworking, metalworking etc. are the creative acts akin to programming. I did not say they should learn programming.
