Touch is an EM forces interaction, not very different from magnets.

Im a fullstack dev from Israel, just finished a relocation position. my strongest point are fast learning, responsible, entrepreneury and making my team perform better overall. I will need visa to work in EU but only for about 6 months.
Sure I should, but if I say something about it I'd have to double-coat it in sugar so they don't start looking for a replacement or stop investing in me.

I might move away and look for a new job. If I don't I can tell them the I'll stay in town but started checking my market value and need an adjustment :)
My first proper job involved oracle. This put me off ever using it again from a licensing, technology and ethical perspective. Just the army of clueless but certified vulture contractors explained the ecosystem. This is how you slowly burn a business but Larry’s going to be dead then so he doesn’t give a fuck.
Focussing on a single Ad in the entire continent of China is a bit weird. This only caused outrage in the US, where political correctnes seems a national political passtime; who can be offended the fastest and most often? Win TV time as a politician!

Here is the _exact_ same ad in Italy, but reversed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dntfod-Cbo

No one bats an eye.

The is a big problem in China regarding racism, mostly because of the simple fact they aren't multicultaral like the West; it's just iganorance really.
As an analogy, why do you write A⋅B instead of Sum[i](A[i] * B[i])?
These are great options. If you don't want to pay up to Oracle. Just use one of the OpenJDK distributions. Java is still free and the JVM is still an amazing piece of tech.
PWA on Safari (iOS, MacOS) ... Is not yet as progressed as one would hope.
> The teacher (young girl, never left China in her life) told us that everything "French" means "sex/porn/etc", i.e. "french book", "french movie". Funny, but tragic.

I think this is a typical example of stereotype rather than racism. But actually, I think that kind of stereotype is the exact major driving force behind racism in China.

From my own experience, I don't think we in China have received enough education about races or even our own ethnic groups. That eventually lead to ignorant and insensitive.

I once was in a dinner with my parents and their colleges. One of the college is identified as Hui, they don't eat pork (While us Han try everything edible). Somebody on the table got curious and ask why, before the Hui can answer, someone else intercepts and said "Because pig is their god" (when in the reality, they believe pig is filthy). Thankfully, Hui was very nice and explained it to us, and that someone was very embarrassed.

So, I think the solution of the racism problem in China is to encourage more interaction between different people.
Yeah, I always tell people to look at QML when it comes to clean UI frameworks. It is a bit sad QML is not a web framework.
You should give C# a try. It's pretty open these days (bonus: it's a much nicer language than Java)
I recently tried to use a popular UI combo (React + Material UI) and wanted to use static CSS. Just good ol' regular CSS files included in the HTML head. This so I could host my frontend on a static webserver (AKA a CDN) and use Content-Security-Policy.

I had to jump deep in a rabbit hole of build systems that no-one seems to understand and a dependency hell that I haven't experienced since my Python days. Any Github/Stackoverflow post I could find on the subject was already obsolete.

The 'advise' most devs gave would boil down to disabling CSP by allowing unsafe-inline, or serving the index.html through a NodeJS server and injecting CSP nonces through a templating system. Both are not solutions, but workarounds to a problem that shouldn't exist.

Once again, I had to conclude that the modern webdev frameworks are not mature enough to use for any serious work. I'll try again in 2020.
How to use metadata to associate User Name and User Email to each feedback

"黑日牙膏" or "Black Person Toothpaste" is one of the top two or three toothpastes in China, English name "Darlie," used to be "Darkie," and the logo is basically an old U.S. blackface comedy picture, now changed a bit (similar to the name's slight makeover). This masterpiece is by Hawley & Hazel, owned by Colgate-Palmolive. The idea is that black people have very white teeth...

How to Add Facebook Reactions to WordPress
You'd need an organisation to do it, but handing out cheap plastic masks to people just outside the zone and informing them of the reason would be the approach I'd take. Sigh yes they'd probably be guy fawkes masks.
it's always strange to see communities which have the least amount of foreigners being the most xenophobic (East Germany, US Midwest/flyover, Australian Western Territory, large parts of Eastern Europe etc ...). Not saying xenophobia doesn't exist in the other territories, but it seems exposure and mixing can help a lot.

EDIT: it seems the places where xenophobia doesn't exist are mere pockets in a vast ocean of bigotry.
Well, the problem is web apps, or seen another way, lack of good distribution mechanisms for desktop apps.

Write your frontend in Java 8 and you have access to a full blown date/time library that handles all the edge cases and has been well thought out. Do it in JS and you got bupkis.
Man doing TDD in the mirror
Police in England and Wales do have the powers to compel someone to remove a disguise, but only under specific circumstances under Section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. It is not clear that in these circumstances they had the power to do so, although there is nothing stopping them from simply asking someone to remove a mask. This man was fined for a separate offence under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, due to his decision to swear at a police officer.

It is worth noting that this trial is being conducted in the vicinity of the Westfield centre in Stratford, which has seen a number of serious violent incidents in recent years. It lies in something of a no-mans-land between the territories of various local gangs, creating a natural point of friction. There have been at least two incidents where a gang fight caused mass panic, one of which involved an acid attack. I am opposed to facial recognition technology on principle, but this seems like the most justifiable use-case; unless something is done, there's a very real risk of a mass casualty incident in the near future.

Personally I find the following blurb from their front page crystal clear:

> The Hyperbola Project is a community driven effort to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, secure, simple, lightweight that tries to Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) under a Long Term Support (LTS) way.

> Derived from Arch plus stability and security from Debian, Hyperbola provides packages from it that meet the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG) and replacements for the packages that don't meet this requirement.

If that doesn't sell it to you then I suspect this is not distro for you. Yes, you need already know what Arch, Debian, LTS, and FSDG mean to understand the point of this distro, but that just means the target audience is not just random Joe six-pack

This is a pain point, but it’s not due to slices; it’s the “self-referential struct problem.” There are various solutions, as you note, but it can be annoying, it’s true. It’s a tough one; in the general case, it’s saving you from problems, but when you know you’re not going to hit those edge cases, it’s less than ideal.

But then the four last sentences say that they don't actually audit so much -- but they will, in five years' time!

It’s too soon. Give it five years when you’re stuck in Oracle’s ecosystem and Oracle needs money. Then they’ll start auditing. Right now, there’s so much buzz going on around Java, they don’t have to audit.
FACT as well (Federation Against Copyright Theft).

Personally I'm not a huge fan but if you are using copyright material then obey the law.
Or better use Go! It's 100% open/BSD license.
> Sure in the short-term they'll rinse companies for large amounts of money, but people tend to remember when that's been done to them, and aren't exactly keen to have it happen again.

The tech personnel, yes. The guys who accept corporate sales pitches, no. They only hear "Oracle" and are thinking "big name, nobody gets fired for buying that".
Is C# more open than Java?
I know the distinction between a claim and a strike - I have direct experience of both. ;)

You can appeal a strike and it will be removed unless the claimant provides documents that they have instituted proceedings within a fixed period of time.

You have to provide your contact details if you appeal a strike.

Mandarin is 普通话, the common speech, standard Chinese. It is based to a very large extent on what the people of the Northern Plain speak, more specifically those of Beijing. The written form of it, which absolutely is also Mandarin is the form of Chinese which took over from Classical Chinese during the Republic of China.

Traditional and Simplified Charcters are only barely relevant to this. The only spoken varieties of Chinese with vernacular literatures are Mandarin and Cantonese. All writing in Chinese is in one or the other. Even in Hong Kong and Macau the overwhelming majority of writing is in Mandarin. It follows Mandarin grammar and vocabulary and can be read without any special difficulty by Mandarin monoglots. Written Cantonese is basically unintelligible to them. It’s used for songs, occasionally subtitling, a very small corpus of fiction and dialogue in court transcripts and scripts. This is orthogonal to the use of Traditional or Simplified characters. You can write any of the dialects of Serbo-Croatian in Latin or Cyrillic characters. That doesn’t make any of them Russian, or German.

This is the problem with large company. They always "want" the applications to be "enterprise" level. Even if it's just a report generation tool to automate some simple task, use Oracle because they already have a large team that will take care of the database, why use mySQL and risk unforeseen issues down the road?

I have even seen a super super tool that simply allow user to go through a questionnaire, which a paper print out will more than likely enough and faster, to be implemented as an Oracle database, with the business logic embedded inside the database, and a super thin UI. User will need to know the correct schema name to use though, because they use schemas for versioning, and it's not like 1.0 and 1.1, it's latest_with_iso_compliace, test_only_production_for_customer_A and beta_for_production or similar.
The enterprise sector is full of this. And why wouldn't it? It's basically never-ending circle of highly-paid consultants, in-house employees with very specific skillsets, never mind corporate kickbacks for devs and their managers. Opening this up would ruin your own revenue. No consultant ever got complaints from his successors for choosing IBM.

We look down on what's going on in the pharma industry, but the software world isn't all sunshine and lilies.

We are also going to need standardisation on reporting of car use to Governments. If we are no longer going to fund roads through fuel taxes, we need some other mechanism to do it. Proper charging of road use would unlock efficiencies for the road network overall.
I don't disagree with 95% it's definitely a magic formula. What I did was do my focused study where I would sit down and do flashcards etc in the 95% format and then for hours a day after the focused study side of things was taken care of I'd dive into completely unstructured learning. That's been my go to ever since.

Also, I suppose I should clarify a little around target to native. I tried that a couple of times. Maybe even 3 times seriously. Intellectually I always came to the conclusion that if you can pull off doing pure output in native to target over a wide enough range of sentences then the whole structure of the language will crystalize really fast. I could never make the emotional side of it work. It always felt too grindy for me and I had to overextend on spending effort against that one task and couldn't sustain it. So I'd just slide back to my tried and true method because tough as they were I could always make the emotional side of that sustainable.

I think it's actually a critically important point. I love it the idea of it as a method and if the emotions of it are workable then it's probably an epic path.

"For what it’s worth even non-homogenous countries like the US haven’t solved their racial-related issues either."

Problems with racism are global.

The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) recently published a survey (Nov 2018) that examines the experiences of almost 6,000 people of African descent in 12 EU Member States.

The report includes survey results from Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Sweden and the UK.

The FRA state:

"While the survey results paint a dire picture of reality on the ground, they can serve as an important resource for policymakers committed to promoting the full inclusion of people of African descent in the EU."

I started building something I like to call "Linux on the Web" (LOTW) 6+ years ago in order to start working on this problem (it's live on the web right now). Just like with node.js applications, the smallest legal file size for an app running inside of LOTW is precisely 0 bytes. I've tried to shave that down even more, but I seem to be running into physical limits :)

Under UK law it may fall under the protection of coverage of a current event (this being international competitions organised by a OIC member body) and also the grounds of it being partial recording of a track and low quality (to establish no commercial loss).

It is a very shaky argument, hence I give it one try and move on (it does work about 20% of the time).
In practice polymer was slow, because franeworks like react get their performace by batching updates, and polymer couldn't do this because the components didn't know about each other...

He failed to do anything about cum-cum/cum-ex.
He came up with a tax on fuel for nuclear power plants, that I am convinced was deliberately designed to be in violation of the constitution, leading to a 7 billion tax-revenue loss.

Not to speak of his views law and order and how the wrecked Greece because he doesn't understand economics.

One of the things I really enjoy about living in Europe is the frequently encountered remains of relatively ancient structures, including forts and bastions.

I currently live 10 minutes by bike from a village that still has its star defense structures standing, and there's a nice walking path around part of it. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJzendijke#/media/File:IJzendi...

There are also several towns in this country which still have impressive walls and gates. I still admire them when I see them.
Except the average educated Macanese or Hong Kong person can’t write in Cantonese. They write in something much closer to Standard Mandarin, with its grammar and vocabulary, than Cantonese.

It’s much more similar to the sistuation with Arabic where the various “dialects” are as distinct from each other as the Romance languages, i.e. French, Spanish, Italian etc. but the only written standard is Modern Standard Arabic. Mandarin or something close to it is at least someone’s native tongue. MSA is about as close to Maghrebi or Mashreqi Arabic as Latin is to Portuguese or Romanian.
The other, largely unspoken, downside to PWAs are that the user cannot block the tracking and ads in them when launched natively. Even though they might run on your android where you have firefox mobile with all the adblocking extensions enabled, and run that PWA in the browser. I'm sure this might be another reason why PWAs are being supported by the advertising industry platform suppliers.
Of course. For example, while there are a small number of "living latinists" who actually want to speak the language, the vast majority of people studying Latin just want to read it, and the teaching material reflects this (focusing on interpreting text rather than composing it or speaking it) Same with other classical languages such as Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Ancient Egyptian, and Babylonian.
The failure of pure open source, moving away from GPL and increase in dual licensing for enterprise software proves otherwise.
To me a "holy grail" wouldn't just be about being superior, but about being complete. Even within the web space, with its simplistic UIs, React doesn't do a lot (intentionally). Whether it's a shining diamond of mathematical beauty or a plug in the bunghole of the web stack doesn't matter in that regard. For a complete UI you need more, and then the bikeshedding starts.

And Desktop UI libraries tend to be even more complex. And as usual, warts are on the outside.
I should have been clearer. I was talking about two distinct issues:

* lack of hardware encryption support

* poor network performance (about 50% slower than with original firmware) - the issue I linked to
The caring is the push. The caring is the pull. The caring is the forward momentum.

So many people I know lived in Japan 5 years and can barely speak it. Some are even wholly dependant on their wife to manage all their affairs because they can't function in society.

I never set foot in Japan before I was fluent because I moved to the city where all the exchange students came to learn English and I did nothing but hang out and speak Japanese with them.

I know what you mean. Methods can make or break your success in a way. But the method isn't the reason for it. It's the conduit. I remember when I first started learning I went to the bookstore and got one of those shitty teach yourself Japanese phrase books. I got 1/3 the way through then I got stuck on this page and I just couldn't get it. I couldnt get how to count some stuff and I couldn't move on until I got it. I threw the book in the trash but not my dream. I went in search of another way to learn it. I came across many obstacles and the caring led me to always search for another way.

Today the last of the caring is ebbing out of me after 10 long, fun years. And with it is going my skills.
>it makes no sense to single out VW.

merely giving an example that fits this thread (automotive).
Well, React concepts is not new at all. Things like data fetching and state management are done in Desktop UI frameworks more than a decade ago. All the praise around react is because they did it well on the web.

That's right: the ad networks will hyper-optimize their script sizes and runtime footprint. They'll just become much better.
> A quick look leads to speedometer apps with ads and 30MB download weight, and simple screen light that also have ads that weight in at 5MB.

I don’t see why this means PWAs are better than apps. There’s nothing stopping you from writing an app instead of a PWA in this case.
Less than 500, probably less than 200 characters are like that. Most are composed of a sound component and a meaning component, except there has been over a thousand years for sound shifts to render the sound component misleading.

Not really, no. It's got little to do with the idea of insurance.
