There are portable versions of all major browsers. So if it is admin rights stopping you...
I think so too, but my statement still stands.

There's nothing new or especially special about "server side rendering", and nothing about React rendering either.

Rendering on the server lets you do whatever you want.

Want to put the user in a specific state? Sure, go for it.

Want to use a starter or null-state? Sure, go for it.

No. From an implementation POV, Prolog adds two pieces to ordinary programming languages: backtracking plus unification. This post talks about backtracking, but doesn't touch upon unification at all.
This usage of the word "cloning" is widespread in the horticultural community, and it's indeed used by your average garden as well.
Godot doesn't have authoring tools like ProBuilder, support for FBX, Arnold, Substance Painter (all made impossible do to the licensing put forth by these companies, granted), and poor documentation. They aren't prioritizing design tools the way Unity has. More funding and talent would help Godot on this front. Its changing, but still, nobody outside of hobbyists are taking Godot seriously.

> If people had willingly opted into the capitalist labour system, while retaining rights to their commons and while gaining a fair share of the yields they produced, we would have a very different story on our hands.

That's straight out of Marx/Engels. I don't think far left is an unfair statement.
> Yeah, it was just a coincidence that when China stated opening up their markets that their quality of life improved immensely and hundreds of millions are lifted out of extreme poverty. When you're talking about economic success in general then you can't forget the ex-Soviet states either. The ones that embraced free markets the most recovered the most.

China is interesting because you can really use it both ways: Free market enthusiasts will argue that China took off after it embraced free market reforms. State intervention enthusiasts will argue that China has been so successful because it is still very far away from the "free market policies" which e.g. the IMF is pushing on poor countries. In particular it has totally not opened up its capital markets or many of its import markets.

And the same holds for the ex-Soviet economies, too: The ex-Soviet economies that have done best are those that have joined the European Union, which most people especially on the American right would not exactly call a free market paradise.

For me, the answer to this apparent contradiction is actually quite simple: as so often, the answer lies in the middle. Total deregulation and extremely opening up your markets probably is not a good strategy to quickly pull your country out of poverty. But too much state intervention is at least as big a recipe for disaster.

Also, I would add that the optimal level of state intervention probably also depends a lot on how corruption-free your government is: with a very well functioning, corrution-free bureaucracy, you can operate effectively at a higher level of state interventionism (e.g. Scandinavia, Singapore) than if you hand that power to corrupt and/or inept officials.

Ethereum is a 'success story', but its not 2015 anymore. I think you'd mad to take tokens as a form of compensation. Why not get a normal job and buy some crypto if you want to gamble?
Sorry about that! They should all be cores rather than threads. In the case of Vultr, we get the information from their API: https://api.vultr.com/v1/plans/list_baremetal - "cpu_count":8

Usually, we rely on our own database for core count and speed, but Vultr doesn't actually mention the CPU model in their API either.

For now, I've hardcoded a fix in our backend and I've contacted Vultr whether they can clear up their API in regards to cores vs threads.

Thanks for letting us know! :)

P.S: Every offer has a "Is some information missing or inaccurate? Let us know!" link at the bottom, in case you find more mistakes.
They are probably better than a lot of their neighbors. It is a consideration though.
The Webkit/Blink engine is far from being single vendor, they are vibrant open source projects with many companies that contribute to the development efforts, pretty much all browsers except for Firefox will be based on it soon.

Web developers would rather have a single good engine, assuming that it's good enough and continuously developed.

IE failed back when they all but ceased development for a number of years and since it was closed source nobody could take it over.
If the alternative to staying in your current job is starving and/or getting evicted, your labor agreement isn't a voluntary, mutually beneficial transaction anymore. For example, a lot of the population works unfulfilling, abusive, underpaid jobs which they only go to because they can't afford to miss a paycheck. Since in a free market, voluntary and mutual transactions are an underlying assumption, labor markets without comprehensive welfare hence aren't free.

I saw them once in west central Iowa as a kid. It’s a rare enough thing I don’t even like to talk about it because people tend not to believe it, but it definitely can happen briefly on occasion.
People won't be able to "browse" a lot using IE much longer anyway. Slack, for example, seems to drop all IE support next month, and I don't think we'll have to wait as long as with IE6 this time before most apps drop support.
I’m not sure that’s a fair assessment. Old IE really did hold back technological progress for a long time. Who knows where we’d be today if not for that.
That's crazy, people trust them to ship the entire browser, but adding an extension makes them untrustworthy.

What will those people say if they ever decide to break the browser into a core and user visible plugins?
I think whoever you stole the money from might have a strong case of owning the ticket and taking the entire lot.

Maybe I am getting old, because I keep seeing articles written glorifying doing bad things. Such as this and sneaking into paid venues -- because "mhy fun" and "stick it to the man" without realizing that people following even the most simple of the rules is what makes any society work.

Yeah, I applaud the efforts of this Swiss team. I guess I'm just grumpy about the disingenuous way the mainstream media still talks about climate change as a 'might happen in the future' problem instead of a 'currently is happening, and will keep getting much worse' problem.
I didn't mean the C example to be applied in C compilers, I meant having the first example in Golang itself, enums are not just constants, they are type safe constants, you can't just use any other constants in some switch-case and get away with it, that's the raison d'etre of enums in the first place

I didn't know that enums are so controversial, unnecessary and equivalent to just constants, but maybe a look of how it's done in any other language can give you a clear difference between enums and constants

taking a moral stance is the only thing they can do, OTOH. KSA will find other ways to track them.
At least Webkit/Blink are open source and have multiple implementations. With that in mind, how do we distinguish between a "monoculture" and a "standard"?

I feel the same instinctive feeling that we're just going back to the IE days, but is it possible that having all browsers align on a single rendering engine could prove to be helpful rather than harmful?
There are missions well above 90% death rate which are very valid. Kamikaze attacks on wars. Chernobyl water release. And so on.
You wouldn't apply the same psychological tests on those volunteers as you would on a ISS mission. You'd just thank them as they go.
So what font is it? And if this is a public agency, is the new font open source and free for the public to use?
I'm not sure about that.

Absence of cowardice (also known as self-preservation) will severely limit what people allow to do to them.
This includes limiting all the things that you listed as worse than cowardice.

On the other hand, lack of fear will empower ideologies that employ suicide bombers.

Also it will make nuclear wars much less unthinkable.

Failure 1:
I'd planned to do a PhD eventually, but I ended up more or less self-sabotaging my degree grade by being depressed and not doing anything about it
(2:2 in the UK system vs. the nominal 2:1 ostensibly required for MSc/PhD applications to most places)

Failure 2:
For the longest time, I never managed to make a good routine for myself. To learn, build things, exercise, meditate, etc.
Good habits seem to be a pre-requisite for success in virtually any endeavor.

Failure 3:
I had an interview scheduled with Google once, right after I had finished my military service in Finland (it's more or less mandatory for men).

I had scheduled it a tiny bit too close for comfort, just after I was supposed to have been out of the garrison. Turns out they called an hour too early (I specified UTC timezone but they marked it down as BST..) so I could only awkwardly tell them I could not talk at the time, and ask if they could call again an hour or a day later.

I never could get another call and settled for a crap job (by some standards). Maybe I could have earned a lot more and learned a lot more (and had a better network of contacts) if things had turned out differently :p

On a more positive note, I started doing freelancing/consulting last year after "no one" seemed to want to hire me at a decent salary and proceed to make OK amounts of money through random gigs.

Still figuring out how to network effectively. I figure the best bet is through gaining visibility online by publishing something useful.
I’m guessing it is in the production and transportation of materials to the site. Subway stations require a lot of material to build, so you’d have the CO2 cost of the concrete, rebar, etc... rail lines don’t have much material, but producing steel does take a lot of energy. And if the line is between large metro areas, the rails would need to be transported to (potentially) remote areas.

But I’m guessing that in terms of CO2 impact, these are fixed costs. So, it would seem reasonable to me to assume the operating CO2 costs would dramatically outpace the fixed initial costs, hence why it would be ignored.

Or potentially, when comparing two systems, the initial building/infrastructure CO2 costs may be assumed to be roughly equal, so are factored out.
...and till when? It surely happened before in history, but never lasted long enough.
I think people are trying. It's an uphill battle, but better than doing absolutely nothing. We may sink the ship but we'll try to swim to shore. If people profiting off the environment do not feel bad for their kids, let it be on their consciousness.
Oh nothing on a technical level, I agree with your critcisms there. Just in the sense that it's available now. It has package management and you can install applications, compile applications, run applications etc right now. Unlike Fuchsia and Redox AFAIK.

Most of the BSD's didn't have decent working SMP for a period longer than that either.

I think it's kind of sad that it takes a company the size of Google to create something like Fuchsia, which we can't be sure will ever see the light of day for most users, even given the vast pools of code available in Linux and BSD they could reference.

Hardware has grown exponentially in complexity since Linux was initially developed of course, which makes the job of writing a new OS much tougher. But you could probably find 20-30 different hobby OS's over on osdev.org that are more complete and accessible for the end user than Fuschsia or Redox right now, even if they are just more boring POSIX clones.
This reminds me of the wonderful short story by Jorge Luis Borges, “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”. In the story, the character attempts to authentically rewrite Cervantes’ Don Quixote — not by simply copying the known text, not even by attempting to re-live Cervantes’ life and spontaneously writing the novel just as Cervantes did, but by somehow living his own 20th century life and happening onto writing a novel that is word for word identical to Don Quixote. It’s a marvelous, impossible premise which speaks to our fantasies of creativity and fetishization of original artifacts.

“Those who have insinuated that Menard devoted his life to writing a contemporary Quixote besmirch his illustrious memory. Pierre did not want to compose another Quixote, which is surely easy enough — he wanted to compose the Quixote. Nor, surely, need one be obliged to note that his goal was never a mechanical transcription of the original; he had no intention of copying it. His admirable ambition was to produce a number of pages which coincided — word for word and line for line — with those of Miguel de Cervantes.”

Here’s a PDF of an English translation:

http://hispanlit.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/files/2011/06/Borges-P...

The story has some really funny sections where Borges compares a passage by Cervantes with an (identical) passage by Menard, comparing their style and meaning (which are not the same!). It's just fantastic.
You don’t need a bright and fast rule that covers every imaginable case. You can just decide the easy cases, like this, and you lose absolutely nothing in the process.

And yet, look at all the billions (trillions?) of lines of code in the world which do not have a horrible security flaw. Heartbleed is notable because of its rarity. OpenSSL is over 500,000 lines of C, written by 500 contributors, and somehow it generally works pretty well.

Maybe the phrase "a decent programmer would never" unfairly assigns blame to an individual's skill, but I think it would be fair to say that the programmers who designed and implemented these bugs were not doing decent work on the day that they made these mistakes.

If our standards for C programmers don't include bounds checking of array access, what exactly do they include?
It's fairly rational to point out that the market is overvalued at the moment to begin with. If anything, I'd expect some big losses in that 5% median if economic pressures leave people worried and speculating.
Doesn't take rocket science. Are people being directly harmed by this product ? The answer in this case is clearly yes. Take down the app immediately.

Part of the reason we see such extremes in forests now is how we treated them in the past (and still do, in terms of putting out small fires that should clear fuel without causing total destruction). Why not provide some management now to help them moderate again?

I'm assuming you're getting cash compensation too, but consider carefully the comparison.
Complexity costs of decision making is actually at the core of behavior economics, for instance one of the biggest insights (which sounds really obvious in hindsight) is that people stick to the defaults. You can see this insight everywhere from opt-out dark patterns and default opt-in organ donor systems but according to classical economics something being default opt-in or default opt-out shouldn't matter because people will take the time to make a most optimal decision possible with all possible information.

Most of the talk of 'rational' vs 'irrational' is because it is in opposition to the classical economics assumptions that people act perfectly rational with perfect information. The more full explanation a behavioral economist would probably give you would be something about how the human mind is optimized for a very different environment and takes short cuts appropriate to that environment that are not helpful in the current environment.

It would be more appropriate for you to point out why you think Jason Hickel is anti-capitalist. Especially because the first half of your comment discussing the hallowing of the middle class seemed pertinent to me and I would have guessed you would agree with the author.

You know what it is? I think that people flat out don't want to believe that the world can become measurably better in whole or in part. They've been told all their lives and they've believed that "things" are getting worse. When someone turns around and writes a whole book saying, "the data shows that country X is where Sweden was Y years ago; at the current rate country X will be where Sweden is now Z years from now." Their gut instinct is to not believe.

Something to consider is that most VC’s that are investing in this space are now doing so for equity. The risk of tokens being unregistered securities is very high.

If you distinguish broken and non-broken IPv4, maybe you should also distinguish broken and non-broken IPv6? Currently, it's impossible to distinguish offers with a proper /48 from broken crap with a single /64 or even less, which makes the comparison mostly useless for me, as there is a lot of broken crap in that market to wade through.
the 1 -> 6 jump was because they decided to drop the first number.

One indication that no one is even remotely ready to think seriously about colonizing Mars (including Space X): There are vast tracts of uninhabited land on earth, notably in the American West. Colonizing those would be vastly easier than colonizing Mars, and yet no one is even talking about that. A self-sustaining colony in the middle of the Nevada desert that was able to get by with no outside help for a few years would be about 1% as hard as colonizing Mars, and yet no one has done it, and no one AFAIK is planning to do it. This to me is the smoking gun that no one is really taking Mars colonization seriously. Everyone is caught up in the sexiness and glamour and no one wants to get down in the dirt and solve the really hard problems of how humans are actually going to survive when they are totally isolated from civilization for years.

Yes, I know about the HI-SEAS project. That was not isolated nor self-sustaining, and it only lasted 8 months.

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/06/mars-sim...

That's actually not even the sort of thing I'm talking about. Forget simulating Mars. I want to see someone just colonize an uninhabited part of Earth without relying on help from the outside without any other constraints. Until we can do that, Mars is hopeless.
So, we're gonna rely on the psychic powers of witch hunting cretins who work in food service; what could possibly go wrong?

I don't know what planet you live on where we need to deputize the country's wait staff to catch child molestors who meet their victims on match dot com and bring them to restaurants, but I don't want to live on that planet.
Well, no it doesn't. Although it at least has the merit to shed some light on the matter, make some cash flow towards the problem, and offer some imperfect solutions.

I would love the Earth resources to be considered and treated precious by all of us 8 billion humans, but that's clearly not the case. We in Europe have been organizing strikes for months, and we are not being listened. If I think about the USA, where politicians listen to their constituents even less, and the general opinion is just not concerned enough to VOTE for their president, much less get involved politically, I fall in despair. I cry. Then I just try to forget because I want to carry on.

What will you do? Are you getting involved with your local politicians? Are you doing a few conservative things for ecology? I just hope that you are doing more than writing critical comments on the internet.
I find it quite useful. I've been bitten before when a system (Carthage) explicitly decides to be 'semver except that part', for some reason.

All projects take a little while to stabilize, and this simply formalizes (the numbering of) that process. Any project can trivially opt out of it by simply starting with "1", as you suggest.
