Was Ending the Draft a Grave Mistake?
Wording is not irrelevant. Your comment didn’t make sense. I took the time to explain what was wrong with your comment rather than just downvoting quietly like others had. Your response was to go down the defensive path and to argue irrelevant tangents rather than take a moment to consider that maybe you expressed your viewpoint poorly. You’re now accusing me of “twisting” your comment by literally quoting it. Inability to be self-critical is not a positive trait.

I agree we should let this drop since it’s going nowhere and we’ve both wasted enough time.

P.S. Your article was about changing opinions, not holding or presenting opposing opinions simultaneously.
What are some new products that 20 years from now will be heralded as design icons?
In theory maybe you are right. In practice it never just adding types. E.g. you need to add null checks, rewrite old parts to follow same style (in case there are old parts in the code) and etc.

The tone of the comments in this thread terrify me. We have exchanged one set of preachers trying to tell us how to live with a new set of preachers telling us how to live and it is just as bad or worse. Always a group of people trying to suppress your freedom and advertise their virtue.
Many people hold their phone much closer to their face than a TV or regular monitor. Screen size is irrelvant, what's important is how much of your field of vision is taken up by the screen. I would argue phones are even the device where 4k and 8k make the most sense because of how close you can get to them without effort.
There must be some bias here in what your remembering. Are the projects that didn't need to be extended, simply doing what they need to, sticking out in your memory

Not to mention that with such an increase in overall electricity consumption in the garage, one might want to charge the residents for use of it. Doing so might require changes to architecture (e.g., putting electric cars on a different floor or section). There are lots of things to consider and real estate investors/developers are not thinking of any of them.

In some parts of the US, notably coastal California, the taste, smell, and color(!) of the natural water supply can be quite poor. It has more to do with geology than tap water safety and remediating the natural chemistry is cost prohibitive in extreme cases. For example, in the western volcanic regions of the US, pristine water sometimes has an unpleasant sulfur taste -- perfectly safe to use but no one wants to drink that because it tastes awful due to natural water chemistry.

Many parts of the US have excellent tasting tap water, and in those places everyone drinks it. California is one exception, and many parts of it have infamously discolored and poor tasting/smelling water. When I lived in California I drank bottled water, most everywhere else I drank tap water. California water is safe, it just tastes terrible and is sometimes discolored because of where it comes from.
The court is killing innovation. Look up VidAngel. Copyright holders were compensated via the purchase of physical media, and only the owner of a particular disk had access, but they have been sued by powerful media conglomerates.

Disclaimer: I invented the system they used and carefully crafted what I thought was a system compliant with copyright law, but as always the party with more money wins in court. I also have a lot of their stock.
So then what is the effect on me ?
I've long pondered whether there should be some kind of internet police. Lots of shady stuff happening all the time, but since it happens on the internet, in some kind of legal grey zone, companies and individuals get away with it.

However, I did not ever envision that police to be operated by Facebook, of all companies. I was naïvely picturing a rosy future where Facebook would squarely be placed on the other side of legality.
Copyright holders either get paid a few sheckles per view with an unknown number of viewers, or a big lump sum wad of cash for an exclusive unlimited contract.

Exclusivity contracts can benefit the copyright holder in the former model by locking customers into a higher sheckle perview deal, or in the later model it can be used by the provider to gain customers.

The doldrums of Gimmick Land is where you end up when you keep falling for all that advertising trying to sell you gimmicks. Roku iTunes SmartTV Chromecast Netflix blah blah blah and a thousand other temporary dead ends all grappling for your disposable income.

Anything being pushed at you is being done so by someone who stands to have an outsized payday if you accept. The age old truth is that unless you want to be a mark, you have to do a bit of self-actualization and decide what makes sense for yourself rather than just choosing between the options being pushed at you. Throwing more money at the problem doesn't change this dynamic - it actually just makes you a bigger mark.

A TV is something that displays an HDMI input, with the quickest power up time possible. A movie is a file, preferably mp4 and x264 or x265. A movie player is something that can pick and play those files. If this just implies a NAS and torrents, then that is still the state of the art! If you can find more convenient options that still respect your autonomy, please feel free. But don't buy into something that promises convenience when its real "value add" is lock-in.

This is (2006). Thirteen years later, getting a proper PCB prototype made has never been cheaper. Turnaround direct from a factory in China can be less than a week if you're in a rush!

I hope that they ship this with image intrinsicsize / aspect-ratio or whatever it is called now. Otherwise this lazy-loading will make page jumping and layout instability worse, because images are loaded only after the user has scrolled to their position.

I think this comes from ossified committees making decisions. The concept of a world divided into "regions" is still strong in some people's minds, even though it stopped making any sense within the last two or three decades.

This idea of "regions" is infuriating if you happen to live in a non-first-class "region", meaning anything that is not the United States. Often you will be denied purchase, which is ridiculous in the context of discussions about "piracy".

Spotify has shown the right way to do it: just offer the stuff in a way that is convenient and let people pay for it. Their growth numbers speak for themselves.
That's one part. Another part is that the people that receive the trash make money of it and they don't like competition. When I was a kid paper, metal, peel (outer cover of fruits and potatos) and glass all got recycled, there was very little real trash. Now I have 4 very large containers that get picked up at regular times by the municipality and all the people that made a living recycling before are on the dole because the contracts only get awarded to large conglomerates who get paid for the privilege from the municipal taxes. It gets better, they sue when the municipalities do not produce the required minimum amounts.
And that’s fine. With this proposal, it simply won’t be a loophole any more. You can slice and dice the income however you like, and everyone will be taxed at (roughly) that same rate that they would be if they worked a regular job and earned the money the usual way.
Wonderful article.

This is a not-uncommon situation in end of life care. It's difficult for a family to accept a tragedy like this, a loved young woman dying in the prime of her life from something untreatable. The families often are in almost some sort of denial (understandably, I'm saying that without judgment) and demand that everything be tried, even when it's futile and ends up making the situation worse like in this case. Medical community has been working on trying to change this for years, but ultimately it seems to me like it's a cultural thing as well.
> I tried this; not much help. I was used to a diet of essentially no carbs (and had found it beneficial for me), and actually switched because I had a friend who would not shut up about not eating meat and wouldn't stop until I did. I can indeed eat more, but occasionally I would get full and still not feel "full".

The question I ask when people bring this up is always: what type of carbs? Generally you know you're eating junk carbs when the ratio of carbohydrates to fiber is greater than 5 to 1 [0]. Processed carbs will help you pack on the weight fast, especially since most processed carbs are all coming from non-whole grains.

A lot of my friends/colleagues like to claim they're on a low/no carb diet. When posed with the question of how they get fiber or critical vitamins/nutrients they're failing to understand that all plants have carbs. A cup of kale has 6 grams in fact. The better approach should be to look at what type of carbs you're consuming vs eating less of all of them. The SAD consumer is often getting very little dietary fiber, unfortunately and even more so now with a lot of the misinformation about how carbs are blanket bad.

And the best part is that TypeScript is just a superset of JS. If you're new to TS, you can use it like you've been using JS. Just by giving your variables the `any` type, or disabling null checking, and so on, you can write JS like you always have. No pressure.

And, eventually, you'll be lulled into properly typing your variables, because damn it those type annotations are super handy! Oh, and you start defining your own interfaces because it makes your code more readable and easier to reason about. Oh, and...etc etc etc.

If you start by gradually adopting the extra features that TS provides, you'll never want to go back.
That's probably part of the issue; I fall more into the athletic 3-meal-a-day category, and I really just don't do well otherwise. I never counted calories, before or after, but gained a good bit of weight in a month when I tried a plant-based diet. I was used to eating very few carbs, and didn't do well having more. I basically tried eating enough to feel "satiated" (I actually got physically full on salad once or twice while still rather hungry and not satiated), and ended up doing much worse in terms of productivity, feeling, and weight on the plant diet.

I feel your pedantry is misplaced on this occasion. While you do technically have a point, the blog article was about was about his frustrations with platform incompatibility. In many ways his arguments is more valid now than its ever been because the incompatibilities are entirely self-serving with each platform being conceptually the same as the last. Where as in the Betamax days it was at least down to differing hardware standards- each offering their own distinct advantages over the other.
Yes. 100%. Used them twice now.
You're sure? The article contains the following highly suggestive quote, and "sponsored posts" (aka ads) are a thing.

I've found the Pixel 2 to be far more stable and less laggy than either of my Nexus 5x's. (Went through 2 because the bootloop bug bricked the first.)

Netherlands makes trains free on national book day for those who show a book
Exactly, if you care about how people with other native languages pronounce your name, I feel that it's up to you to help them do that. Either by coming up with a more reasonable version of it or choosing some local name, like many Chinese do.

When I lived in China I certainly didn't expect anyone to even come close to pronouncing my name in proper Swedish. That would have been absurd. My name is Gustaf and that simply can't be rendered in Chinese, so how would they be able to do it, even if they wanted to? Most people at my school ended up calling me Difdif.
It may be art, but it is not programming anymore. Therefore reinforcing the idea that programming is not art.

But the people do and they are in charge of what we adopt. Choosing renewables and poo-pooing nuclear is choosing fossil fuels for base load. It’s that simple.
My post was not an endorsement of everything in the show. I agree that the particulars of the scenario make no sense for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I would find some sort of generic EU occupying force much more convincing, but only if they made it clear that Russia was unable to increase oil production or something like that.

I only wanted to highlight the question of whether stopping oil production could lead to war. Sorry, I should have made that clear.
>Will Germany have 100% renewable in 20 years?

Probably yes. They seem to be poised to get there quicker than anybody else.

The inhibition to us achieving this goal earlier wasn't a lack of faith in nuclear power - it was a lack of belief in the importance of dealing with climate change at all.

Moreover (and this is the critical part), it's not like nuclear power is going to get us to 100% renewables any quicker than solar/wind will at this point - not since they broke the cost barrier in 2014.

In the 1980s nuclear was the only way to go zero carbon. 10 years it would have helped us get there quicker. Since 2014, there's no real point to building out nuclear capacity any more - new nuclear can't compete on cost only rickety old plants can.

In the EU the technical data of any phone already include a "radiation value" that measures your radiation exposure from using the phone. So regardless of whether this is something to worry about, it's aready covered by existing legislation.

Cellpone towers are also different in that you can't choose not to expose yourself to them. In contrast you can choose not to get a mobile.
“Darknet” Google group for the object detection framework banned
We could also be much much less habitated with one Fukushima or Chernobyl scale event.
This Google group was the primary place for discussions on pjreddie's Darknet framework, made famous by his work on the YOLO object detection algorithms. In one fell swoop, this ban has made it impossible to access years of discussions containing valuable information with no recourse to access archives.

Neither the internet archive, nor Google caches seem to have any hits on the contents of the group. I guess this just serves as another invaluable reminder about the dangers of an increasingly centralized internet with power in the hands of a select few mega corporations.
For what it's worth I had an n9 and I did not particularly like the alarm clock design. Most of the UI felt somehow wrong to me.
Since conservative approximation is still useful, halting problem doesn't matter.

That is, let's say syscall 1 is definitely used, syscall 2 is definitely not used, whether syscall 3 is used depends on halting problem. Including only 1 and 3 to unikernel is safe and better than including all of 1, 2, 3.
It's crazy how similar this was to the new Clock app introduced in iOS 10 (2016).

But AppleTV isn't. There's no lock-in for Roku or Fire TV... You can't buy anything from Roku, and Amazon has apps out for all TV boxes.

Apple is Sony here, one company that won't allow interoperability. Just like betamax, it often has superior specifications, but won't let anyone else play in it's walled garden.

Apple might sell more than any other single competitor, but it's still losing the war. The brand is built on "quality costs more", which is great for companies that don't need to interoperate, like watches and knives and even cars... It can't compete on price because it will hurt the brand... So they're stuck making more money than they can spend, while losing the war.

Not a bad place to be in, better than betamax, but their tech will suffer the same fate, unless they open their walled garden.
Always, unless it's a very short script that uses packages that have no type definitions.

>The Earth will fix itself...

I suppose this depends on your definition of "fix," but this sounds suspiciously like the Gaia hypothesis:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis

Which is closer to wishful thinking than science. Sure, Earth will go on, because Earth doesn't care. But humans are facing a climate catastrophe if they do not course-correct their impact on the planet, and that is what we mean by "good for the Earth" -- that is, good for the maintaining the planet as a place where we want to live.

The problem is the standard for what is a valid email address is so varied with enough edge cases that what you might consider a “convenience” is actually breaking the site for other people.

It is very true we need to focus on 1 or 2 key features.
The real intent of 'pull up a chair' is to be able to discuss WIP code together and help decide and debug. Working next to my coworkers I often show them my screen and ask them questions about what I'm currently doing; we hope CoDiff can give this ability to all teams, local and remote.

We agree completely with the first bullet point - that is one of our key features we have found useful.
The second point is very interesting. What would you say is the reason you don't want peers peeking at your WIP code? We were wondering if it could be beneficial and have an effect similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19591227
