It was not my intention to address, much less defend, that. I'm addressing your assertion that people have less sympathy for island dwellers.
The MMO system I'm developing can run the entire server cluster as 3 coroutines in a single process. (goroutines, actually) This is meant to facilitate local development, but it would be quite easy to harness this to distribute a game that automatically has a local LAN mode.
That's mostly capital gains. He won't earn that in steady dividends to live off of.
Depends pretty much where one wants to work.

Outside the software business, on companies whose focus is totally unrelated to software, no one cares that much how things work.

They just have a couple of devs, or hire some freelancers do do some stuff, no matter how, it just has to look pretty.
> few also call for boycotts of Turkey (invaded Cyprus in 1975), China (invaded Tibet in 1950), Russia (annexed Crimea in 2014 and parts of Georgia a few years earleir), UAE (occupied Socotra last year)

I think that this statement is false in almost every case. (I hadn't heard about UAE, so don't have any perspective there.)

It really doesn't. You may be able to push up the price but higher prices mean lower returns. What you are hoping for is that you will pile money in, for some unknown reason other people will panic and try to bid, and then you sell to them.

Just fyi though: I have worked in markets for about ten years...I have seen this over and over. I studied economic history...I have read about this over and over. And the subject almost never makes it out alive. Usually, this is psychological. Most people get involved with clear heads but that clarity doesn't survive the rush of the bull market/greed...they want more, they start to believe their own bullshit, they end up fully invested at the top...they get carried out of the market.

There's no other option than boycott if one falls into a) and b) and wants to not be hypocritical? There's a lot of social pressure to watch the Super Bowl for a large portion of the population. I fall into a) and b) and did watch the Super Bowl. I'm freely admit that I'm a hypocrite just not sure if this should be considered part of my hypocrisy.

I know about horrendous foreign policy actions of the United States Government. I disapprove of coverups done by the government and I actively benefit from said government. I haven't fled the country. Is that hypocrisy?

As a mobile app developer, looking at the architecture of PWAs is a bit obvious to me. It's to turn webpages into stand alone mobile / desktop apps, with all of the power & setup that implies. But without the size overhead of an actual app, because every phone has a runtime library called the browser.

It's a great tool if that is your goal. Otherwise why spend the extra effort?

That just feels like a hand-waving bullshit statement though. It appears to me that it's just a way to get out of any sort of personal responsibility to say 'well everything is garbage, so what does it matter?'

KNOWING about the problematic issues and choosing to ignore them is much different than not knowing at all.

In my experience this is the use case where vue shines. It's far easier to drop it into an existing html template than to create a react application for a single component.
That's really cool and interesting. There may be a deeper meaning to what you saw but it would be a rather surprising result if there was conscious awareness of these structures since there does not appear to be any mechanisms for that.

> When you critique Israel's government policies but say "the Jews" you are incorrectly describing an entire religion when you claim to be talking about a group of people that live in Israel.

I totally agree, but they wondered if saying "the Jews" is offensive as such. It's not, as such.

When someone who cares a lot about the issue constantly mixes that up, that's very different from not getting it perfectly right on the first attempt because they're not familiar with the subject. And hey, even confusing Jews and Israel doesn't necessarily mean a person as an anti-semite, they could also belong to one of several schools of right-wing Israeli thought. But your point stands regardless.

Great news for startups in New York! Hope this will continue for years to come.
exactly that. since 2012 i build all my websites as SPAs for this reason. more so, i am not even writing any new backends. i reuse the same backend over and over. most websites (at least the ones i have been building) are just CRUD and don't really need a custom backend.

SPAs bring back the client-server architecture we had before the web. you build desktop clients that consume server-api's.

server-side html generation now feels like cruft and an awkward way of building applications.

The phrase, "the exception that proves the rule" is not used properly here.

A proper example is something like: "Parking allowed on Fridays", which is an exceptional case to a rule that is implied: "No parking any other days."

Using Mark Lynas' book Six Degrees and the representative concentration pathways from the IPCC report long term for me is a century. The earliest we would see 5 degrees of warming would be around 2100 under RCP 8.5, the business-as-usual pathway. At that amount of warming we can expect a Cretaceous-like climate where methane eruptions destroy infrastructure in the northern hemisphere, super hurricanes flood the coasts, and hydrogen sulfide from the dead oceans suffocate terrestrial life. Of course, we likely are no longer on the business-as-usual pathway, we are taking some limited steps to mitigate climate change so I would say more likely long-term means 100-500 years, unless we significantly make changes to put us closer to the RCP 6.0 or RCP 4.5 pathways which are merely disastrous instead of fatal.

In microservices, the common opposite of 'good boundaries' is duplicated effort. It might apply a little back pressure, and eventually the problem will be so big it's noticeable. Call me crazy, but I'd rather notice problems without having a giant cleanup effort to go along with it.

The 80/20 rule tends to rule, and the whole mess never gets close to being cleaned up.
The principle is probably more like: return such approximate results that, among them, advertising doesn't look out of place.

After my boyfriend of two years broke up with me, I could barely speak without crying. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I could get him back and the anxiety was unbearable. I spell with Dr Eghika, not knowing fully what to expect but knowing I needed somebody who had been there before. I wanted our relationship back and so I wanted to make sure I had all the guidance and resources possible to do that. Dr Eghika was simply wonderful. His process of work is calming and I could tell that he genuinely cared. The things that he suggested I do to get [my boyfriend] back seemed difficult, but Dr Eghika warned me that they might be. But I knew I wanted to get him back, so I followed the plan he laid out for me and the things he ask me to buy which he also helped me out for. Within the week, me and my boyfriend were back together and we are so in love! I know that it doesn't always happen that quickly, but Dr Eghika said, in my case, it could happen that soon - and it did! I'm so grateful and can say that if you have been broken up with and want to get that person back, Dr Eghika is the best! I'll never forget how much he helped me. His contact are whatsapp +254-795-502824, email: ineedhelp@solution4u.com and website is www . everythingisforgood. webs . com

Wha? We can blame both. But the NFL is in the business of that sport specifically. NBC has all sorts of ties to being a news network. And it's not just MSNBC, because they broadcast journalism under the "NBC" brand and they're basically denying science here.

NFL can deny science all they want, they are in the business of smashing heads together for entertainment. I think that should probably be their position -- this sport is dangerous and it might ruin you, sign this release form -- because football is going nowhere in America.
> Jails haven't been used to protect as many high-value targets as Linux containers have

This is not true in my experience at all. It may be true that it hasn't been in use at startups until Docker came out, but a few large, established companies I've worked at absolutely used Jails or Zones to protect their most valuable IP. And have been for a long time.
We have some info on the Partner page [1]. We are looking into making a WP plugin but have to figure out the IP issues related to different avenues for distribution. It's been deployed on WP pages as a JS widget already, including http://unreasonable.is. I don't know how much more trouble it is to do these manual integrations than having a manually-distributed WP plugin.

Yeah! That's what I'm working on next, a companion iOS app with offline sync. It will be the killer feature!

I don't currently include browser extensions, you still have to open the app and search, then CMD+C for the password, and CMD+B for the email or username.

I may do browser extensions, but I'm always wary of browser extensions these days
Since they rely on drivers, I wonder if winmodems even work under Windows. Good luck running a Windows 98 driver under Windows 10.
I didn't need the cash out, but it adds a bit of a safety margin. Liquid cash gives you optionality. For example, if things don't work out as I hope, I could use that cash to try to buy another small business, or something like that. It would have been harder (or impossible) to refinance without a steady paycheck, so I planned for that while I still had the job.

My mortgage interest rate is 4% and I've put the cash I've withdrawn in short term US treasures at 2.5%, so that cash is only costing me 1.5%.

Another reason I did a refinance was that when I bought my house I had only been in the US for 2.5 years and my credit score wasn't great (in the 600s IIRC). I could only get an 5/1 ARM loan that was about to start becoming variable at a higher interest rate.

I've always been under the impression that consciousness is actually a bunch of brain activity competing for attention and that one thing at a time is selected/blessed to be the highlight of one's attention.

The addition of drugs sort of pulls back the curtain on what other things may be just under the mark, lurking beneath your "default" consciousness.
I strongly believe that the NFL will cease to exist as a major sports league in the foreseeable future (< 25 years). It increasingly seems that CTE is an unavoidable side effect of the game, and as that reality really registers with parents the steady supply of young players is going to dry up. I've heard people say that it will end up a niche sport like boxing (which has its own obvious brain trauma problems), but you need a lot more potential football players to maintain a viable league than you do potential boxers to maintain the level of professional boxing we have today.

edit: typo
>"I recall the phrase, 'It's a six-hour, daylong celebration of football, and you're not the right person to celebrate football,'" Costas says.

The odd thing was if you watched the Superbowl the culture of the event had obviously changed. You rarely saw cheerleaders, unless in the background of a play. None of the commercials offered up exploitation of women at least nothing on the scale of GoDaddy and Paris Hilton had in the past.

Budweiser's main hook throughout was that they did not use high fructose corn syrup in their ingredients! That's a long way from the bro-y bikini image beer companies have made the Superbowl to be about for so long.

So when I read that this was a celebration of the culture of Football, what is that now? Is it this more progressive, more healthy sport EXCEPT when it comes to brain trauma?

I think eSports, particularly DOTA2's TI is far, far more relevant to young men than Football at this point and has true global appeal. Football and the Superbowl seem like so many boomer institutions where this old guard is doing everything to slow down the bleeding for as long as possible.
The community at indiehackers.com is quite helpful.
Thanks! It looks like the driving factors are that it's a combined plant, and gas is too expensive on site.

We did examine both the operating and fuel costs of a gas option. It costs less to build a gas plant; however, gas is a more expensive fuel than coal. All our models are just that -- models -- because there is currently not a reliable source of gas. Using today's prices, our fuel costs with the new boiler would be about $5.3 million each year. Fuel costs at current gas prices would be about $20 million a year. Until a low-cost, reliable supply of gas becomes a reality in Fairbanks, a gas option is not viable.
Yep... but 25 years from now they will have "Kaepernick Day" once a year, and give everyone a free bobble head and everyone will be free to celebrate the NFL guilt free.

Despite the fact that most of the teams will still be owned by the same individuals, and definitely the same families....

IF I was a conspiracy guy I would almost think that all the flag waiving and controversial decisions are designed to distract us from the fact that the NFL is the world's sketchiest non-profit. Not only does it not pay taxes as an entity despite its CEO's $31 million dollar salary, but the teams receive billions in tax payer funds to build the new stadiums they require.

And they must have these new stadiums to stay competitive with the other NFL franchises... who just got new stadiums. It's a crazy arms race to keep your NFL team, and no one is talking about that fact that we could also level the playing field by having all the states agree NOT to build stadiums with tax payer dollars, instead of letting the NFL play different tax bases off each other to extract the maximum dollars from us.
Not if you go by the parent comment instead of what your brain translated it to.
They seem to be universal and existential quantifiers, which is consonant with the usual notation in mathematical logic and (I believe) in dependent type theory.
If you upscale a research design to make a small power reactor, you're designing another SMR.
It can be the same story on the hiring side: Teams will decide to build $new_thing using $NEW_THING! simply because they know it will help them attract more (and often less expensive) applicants.
I currently have Fastmail with a catch-all so I can give out a unique address to every company, but before that I was looking for services like this. This looks really interesting, congratulations on launching!

Could you add a few screenshots of the application that I can view before signing up? I'm also a bit confused about the term "keyword" which is mentioned only once on the landing page and several times in the pricing page but never really explained. I assume this is the alias (e.g. hackernews@kopi.cloud)? I'm also curious about the statement "You can even reply to emails through Kopi." Is this from inside the Kopi app, or is it replying to the email in my own inbox which Kopi forwarded to me, or either?

They're not necessary in JS either.

You'd presumably have at least some tests in the form of "Give these input, get that output". By checking that output, you pretty much confirm its the right type at the same time.

I've seen a lot of test suites that have stuff like:

"given input A, test that result is defined. Given input A again, test that result is 1234". It's like, yo, if result is 1234, its obviously defined.

There are edge cases, so yeah, the amount of tests you don't write in TS is > 0, but it's far and few in between.
Especially ironic that it was paid for with money from oil and gas profits.
Okay, so the only way it's actually possible to have any refactoring of your data structures require only changing one selector is that you've got a single selector for literally every piece of data in your system, at which point you've had to manually flatten everything out into a bunch of selectors, and lost all the benefits of being able to read a structured chunk of data. If you actually do that (which I don't think most projects do fastidiously) you're creating a lot of boilerplate, again to solve a problem which was created because you decided to use global state in the first place.

I'm not saying there aren't solutions to the problems I'm bringing up. I'm saying you don't have to solve them in the first place if you don't bring in Redux.
There are two things in play here - one is that pypy is a large py2-only codebase that is unlikely to be ported. Second is that maintaining python 2 both does not cost much and it's used by the majority of our users, despite of what you hear on the internet. So, there is both good reason to keep it and a large amount of work to drop it.
