I think it could be argued that part of the reason CEOs get hammered as hard as they do when they screw up is expressly because they get paid so much. If the pay ratio was more akin to, for example, that of a Japanese company, I think there'd be less of an uproar whenever a screw-up occurs.
Avoid nvidia dgpu (especially 1050 series have a lot of problems in linux right now) and you are good.

I would suggest t480s of lenovo, dell latitude 7940 or the latest 15inches dell precision with just the igpu (I don't remember the correct codename)

Note that I suggest only laptops with easily accessible and replacable ram, ssd, wifi card and especially battery. T480s has actually one 8gb ram soldered and another dim up to 32gb (for a total of 40), but it' s still my preferred

In a month lenovo is gonna release a new t495 with the new ryzen3000 processor and vega gpu. If you can live without thunderbolt three, they should surpass by far performances and battery life of the intel version (but eait for a review)
> which kind of solves this module resolution problem

Your exception is not limited to malicious actors as even ligitmate packages like uglifyjs have had to do this. The NPM developers themselves have no problem deleting packages which would result in the same problems. They solved their problem by pushing it onto the rest of us.

Suppose all this points out is that Pinterest needs to hire Facebooks international growth team. Surely there are countries outside of say India where users are more prone to monetization, despite stagnating growth in the USA.
This gets asked often, but as someone wanting to get away from Gmail, any thoughts on Fastmail vs. ProtonMail?
Not my primary mail, but I use it as webmaster email id for some sites & I have noticed that the spam filters have improved a lot.

Believe it or not there are countries where people trade sex for power to charge their phones. I'm sure the resources wasted by bloated apps are precious to them.
I don't know much about it, how are they forced? If they don't want to work, what happens?
Switched to FastMail recently as I like to stay productive and didn't want to use Google Calendar.
When I clicked on the post, I figured it would be some sort of vim plugin etc. Hopefully they can update the site to show a banner or some indication saying what the site is (vim in a browser?) and that it doesn't support mobile browsers.
Multi processor encoding goes way back to the early days of video compression. The first real-time MPEG-2 encoder chips from C-Cube Microsystems were specifically designed to be used in parallel. Back then (1993), encoding an SD (720x480) image required twelve processors.

Here's a picture of a development board. This is half of a two board sandwich that supported ten video processors. The CL4000 was the first member of the family and was used for the DirecTV rollout. It was not capable of MPEG-2, and for a few months, DirecTV was actually MPEG-1.

I honestly can't tell if you're jokingly missing the above joke. Either way, you make a good point.
> You are incorrectly assuming that all of the good from smartphones comes at a forced, dramatic reduction in privacy.

No, I'm saying that the dramatic reduction in privacy from the typical use of smartphones is more than offset by the benefits.

There's lots of abuses of privacy that I'd like to see reigned in (I would definitely support the introduction of GDPR-like regulations in the US). I'd like to see my search data have the same protections as my video rental or health data.

> any "good" done from the direct causing of suffering of others is not in fact good at all

I assume you are talking about things like the trolley problem. That's something that I've never been able to resolve for myself.
You Shouldn't Fear “Slaughterbots”
To answer everyone here, I've been using ProtonMail for 6 months now (and protonvpn) and I love it. The iOS app is great, the web view could be improved but isn't bad.
>the problem here is there aren't many opportunities to teach at a prestigious university, at least not at anything resembling a living wage.

I’m not so sure about this. I went to a school that is not very well known outside my state/neighboring states. Even though it was the 2nd largest school in Georgia at the time.

The teacher teaching HTML/CSS in dreamweaver was making $95k. 2 professor getting PhDs in security were making $120k and likely much more after their PhD. The department head was making $150k and the old head was making much more until she got a million dollar grant. This was 6 years ago so they likely make a lot more now.
The application I'm trying to develop is just a normal compose based setup. I'm trying to achieve the flexibility that helm gives us for Kube with docker compose and need pointers in that direction.

My current approach was - given a set of containers - enable / disable flags for them if they exist / don't exist and then create a compose file and then have conditionals in it and have ansible deploy the containers ->

# vars/containers.yml
list_of_containers:
- container1
- container2

# docker-compose.yml
{% if container1_enabled %}
container1:
image: container1
port: port1:port2
....
{% endif %}
Why? There are computers older than I am for which that's an insignificant amount.
It is a solution. And that's a pretty cool name, imo.
I spend summers in a seagull rookery on a small island, about 2000 adult birds. Each pair averages about two young. A few years ago when the young were hatched but still tiny, puffy balls with legs there was a strong wind for two days. One by one the chicks lost their balance, tumbled away across the island and blew into the cold water. It was nearly a 100% wipe of the young. But the birds live many years, and 1 young per adult per year is unsustainable, so they have to get eaten or die somehow. It just feels horrible to see all of a year’s young go at once.
Again I disagree. Complete social ostracisation for example is every bit as harmful (and almost certainly worse) than a punch to the face. Being fired from your job and/or being denied employment or advancement are again also at least as bad as a punch to the face. I could go on.

Limiting "harm" to mean being the victim of physical violence is so narrow as to be utterly meaningless.
>say a car.

The issue with treating a car like a normal good is that there are positive externalities. Sot he customer (the one buying the car) doesn't capture all the good that is provided. There's value in having electric cars, cars which have better MPG that pollute less, cars with safety features that prevent crashes (even a single vehicle crash in a populated area massively slows down traffic), cars with safety features that protect passengers who weren't the customer, cars that are less likely to injure people who will have to depend on government provided healthcare if injured.

I could apply this to a book, a video game, a tv, a computer, a smart phone, an internet connection, a bicycle, clothing, food, and even housing.
Trouble is the BBC has slowly squandered pretty much all credibility in recent years, including it's natural history department. So many times I've read behind their headlines to find deliberate misdirection.

This is true of many natural history documentary makers unforunately:

I'm not saying man made climate change isn't real or that it's having a harmful effect, but I treat these deliberately emotive articles with a very large pinch of salt.
Fastmail is a great host and I liked their iOS app. ProtonMail seems like a good idea but promising secure email and secrecy as an mail provider isn’t really realistic at all.

I will always have a soft spot for C. It was my first language. I wrote my first linked list in C. 30 seconds later I had my first segfault. C was the entrance to the rabbit hole for me. I went down through assembly language, down through logic design, circuit design, and transistor theory, all the way down to fabrication and quantum mechanics. It was a long time before I came back from that trip. Today, I wouldn't use C for everything, or even for many things, but I'm glad I know it and I'm glad it's the substratum that holds most everything else together.

I'm glad because C is an idea you can hold in your head. I can look at old C, I can look at new C, and it's all pretty sensible. (Excepting macro abuse, deliberate obfuscation, or gross incompetence.) It's hard to say that about most any other language.
Electron usage has forced me to spend some of my yearly dev budget on a 32GB machine; this comes to an extra $400 if purchased preinstalled. Now, had I not relied on so many Electron apps I probably wouldn't have required a new laptop at all. Memory management (or what I like to call memory hygiene in cases like these) is a concern. For far too long developers have brushed aside the memory usage of their applications not thinking of the cost on their end users. This has real negative effects on the user experience. This isn't confined to Electron though; many other apps also use an enormous amount of memory as well. It is a general problem.

Honestly -- given the amount of time I've spent adapting my own data model classes and structures to the straightjacket of various GUI or web toolkits -- not having the toolkit enforce its normative lifestyle assumptions on data structure feels like a feature to me.

I'd rather manage the state and relationships myself.

> and suddenly you have a generation of children where infant mortality etc goes way down (again thanks to antibiotics)

Infant mortality went down in white communities, there is still a disparity between infant mortality in white communities and urban/african-american communities. Some communities have the infant mortality rate equal to a third-world country.
The first google hit for “qt nim” is [1] from 2017, so I think it’s safe to say it did not exist yet. The first hit for "wxwidgets nim" is [2], which has one open issue (since 2016): "Trouble building wxnim on win7".

Yes, time travel would solve most software development problems.

I can't comment on the iOS client, but the Android client is what's primarily holding me back from switching to Protonmail as my default. The problem is that it keeps logging me out, for one reason or another, and to log back in I have to enter the password and TOTP code. That's a pain in the butt, and it makes it impossible for me to rely on for, say, airplane tickets.
He does not like Qt because a simple window with a few buttons and sliders will end a big (in term of MB) application.
He did not realize that one but another reason not to like Qt is that fact that they recreate the native look on each platform it's highly inefficient on macOS.
> What does hand sanitizer have to do with the issue?

I think dmitryminkovsky is jokingly extrapolating the idea of banning allergens to hand sanitizer, since it is poisonous if you drink too much.
I use Protonmail regularly on my iPhone. It works.

Not sure about whether it will be around in a decade or not.
They represent vastly different philosophies. Fastmail is direct alternative to Gmail with good UI and UX but they're based in Australia and against message encryption as it impacts their UX (for example it's not possible to index encrypted messages). Protonmail is an OpenPGP company (they directly invest in OpenPGP.js) but have issues supporting other standards. For example IMAP/SMTP is available only through a bridge.
> Tesla is driving the biggest wedge of change through the world economy in the 21st century.

I suspect the press vitriol is because Musk actually believes crap like this. Nobody likes someone who is high on their own kool-aid.
Ah, this would be the species of academic debate where a carefully referenced argument can be downvoted and rebutted with a flat unsourced statement of position?
Is it still "education" if you're just confirming a person's preexisting beliefs?

Remember, the guiding principle of science (and pursuit of knowledge in general) is skepticism.
Actually immediate mode came first, retained came later for perf reasons (redrawing the entire screen from scratch every frame is slow, even though immediate mode is easier). The original context was however graphics (OpenGL retained vs immediate modes) rather than UI (widget toolkits started out as retained, like OGL retained scene graphs, likewise canvases have always been immediate).
If you want to avoid development overhead, absolutely, C is a terrible language to pick.

I'm not sure what you mean by compatibility issues in this context?
Philip Morris and the “Juicero” of Vapes
> The label of "profitable" itself is pretty meaningless, given that you are at battle over many many years against competitors.

Good God, that's a terrifying statement.

When business stops being about "making money", I don't know what we're doing anymore.

The point of battling the competition is to make money. It's not about crushing them, beating them, or even being more profitable than them. It's about making money.

Yes, it's absolutely valid to choose to sacrifice a period of profitability in order to strategically set yourself up for better profits later. And if crushing the competition is how we do that, great.

But this game of never making profits is a fools game. If I invest my money in your company, it's because I expect you to make me money.

If the only way you make me money is by raising the value of the stock, then we're in a game of Dutch tulips, and the only question is whether I can time selling my stock properly to not be the greater fool.

But if you make me money by running a profitable company and disbursing the dividends, I'll hold onto that stock forever.

One of those approaches is ethical. The other is a scam.
I do agree with this sentiment.

The used luxury car market has out-dated electronics that cannot be upgraded.

Not as bad as epoxying an iPad2 to the dash, but close enough.

Meanwhile, I think Tesla’s are at the equivalent stage of the original iPhone or the 3gs.

We still have a way to go before this is a commoditized standard.
Curiously, there are only a handful of computers, ever, that were older than I am. And I'm not that old :)
I use it as my main email, with a gmail account for throw-away spam, and have the protonmail Android app, I like both the web and android versions quite a bit; could have a few more features, but for everyday usage it is good. No frills but everything normal and easy to use.
It does? How? Can you think of any conditions that might make that not true?

Like you said several times, knowing what’s going on takes more than just reading several AWS documentation pages.

And to boot, that stretches the definition of delivery. You’d hardly consider a letter delivered if the postman left it outside the postbox and it blew away.
X25519 is great, but it doesn’t make Protonmail (really, OpenPGPjs) a net safe communications mechanism.

It inherits all of the flaws inherent in OpenPGP, including optional authenticators (which lead to EFAIL), kitchen sink bulk protocols complete with negotiation (did you know your public keys specify what algorithms you like?), lack of forward secrecy, repudiability, et cetera.

We should stop using RSA. But RSA isn’t what was keeping OpenPGP from being a great secure communications channel. That’s aside from the question if it’s meaningful to say you control your keys if you use OpenPGPjs served up every time by a third party. (I say that being extremely on the PGP apologia side of the scale compared to some of my peers!)

I don't and furthermore it's possible I am biased simply because the media is unusually likely to report on when an elite school engages in schemes like this. Media reports are the root of my perception.
Yes, EU has something like that for up to 100000 EUR per person per bank. Revolut is not a bank, so this doesn't apply there.
They’re based in Aus, but their servers are in the US (which is why I decided against switching from GMail to them in the end, and picked someone a little more local).
If waymo has developed tech for autonomous cars then integration into existing car brands is not going to take a miracle, hell retrofitting onto my 96 cherokee isn't out of the question.

I've been following brave since the Tom Scott thing blew up. The whole thing seems like a disingenuous cash grab or a (slowish) pump and dump crypto scheme. There are quite a few zealous defenders of BAT and Brave that always turn up in threads like these that you have to question why these people are so willing to look past what seem like obvious flaws in the product.

Anyway, on reddit the user with the same name has deleted their account but this one is still active and active in the BAT / Brave subreddits. [0]

Full disclosure: I came to root against Brave after seeing how Tom Scott was treated and how that whole debacle went. I don’t even work in Tech so really, I shouldn’t care.

If your product has to be opt-out to have a chance of success, then it's a failure from day one.

edit: opt-out in regards to the creaors being sent BAT by users without knowing about that. i.e. the Tom Scott Fiasco.
Is that the pattern React implements? I've seen it being used for mobile and VR for example, but IIRC you need to use different components for those targets. I do recall someone replacing the renderer output from HTML to err, text or XML I believe.
> another reason not to like Qt is that fact that they recreate the native look on each platform it's highly inefficient on macOS.

Given how everyone jumps on Electron these days, I don’t think thats a particular concern for anyone who just wants something to “simply be” cross-platform.
Step 6 is quick for a couple of adults. Add in kids, though, and takes an order of magnitude longer—especially when the kids are both young enough to be going through multiple outfits per day and are asleep (thereby restricting the ability to put clothes away) during the best times to do chores.
I personally find umatrix far superior to noscript. I also dislike the fact that noscript keeps forcing "update" popup tabs about their latest updates, which have zero utility except to serve obfuscated ads on the author's domain that bypass your adblocker and noscript. That has always rubbed me the wrong way, and a couple of years back I switched away from no-script entirely and haven't really looked back.

Edit - This is a good example of what I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/Lwr3xhY.png
That's it can still be racist to ask "hey, this group did great despite racism, why don't you, e.g. blacks, do the same?".

Or, rather, it's a valid question, as long as it's not taken as an assumption of laziness, inferiority, etc.

Racism towards different groups doesn't follow the same patterns.

A group that started as slaves and had Jim Crow laws against it well into the 20th century, and segregation up until the 70s, and redlining, racial police profiling and other issues still, doesn't have it the same as a group that came as free workers, had faced racism, but was considerably let off the hook in the 20th century...

For one, a group coming in as free men had its own culture from their homeland, community to fall back on, traditions, etc. Abductees coming as slaves from dozens of different African nations and tribes, were from the start thrown into the alien culture of their owners, and had to make do with whatever they could and build their own identity from the start (and to the degree that they were allowed until they were freed).

Add to that the ire of the ex-owners towards seeing their (or their parents and grandparents) ex-slaves freed (which is also associated with a humiliating defeat in the Civil War).
Inferring chart type from autocorrelation and other evils
Seriously? Pinterest makes less than $9/yr off of me? I would drop $10/yr to not have to see ads again and probably use the service more.
Sure. However long it takes to read 120mb off a disk (most likely less, if the application is only using some of the GTK dlls). 120mb of RAM. 120mb more to read when restoring from suspend. 120mb extra data use over your home internet connection. (I'm not going to talk about antivirus time because if you're using antivirus in 2019 you deserve whatever happens to you). It's still all irrelevant. Put a monetary or human-time value on it and compare to the cost of the application, or the development time, or a single crashing bug. Our programming culture's priorities are so far skewed from whats' actually important.
> inflammation is the description of what is happening (ie, symptom) not the "cause"

If you chemically turn off inflammation and the negative downstream effects disappear, then inflammation is arguably a cause of those negative effects. Inflammation is supposed to be a healthy response to various conditions, but that isn't always the case, so when it's causing negative effects it becomes a pathology and arguably a cause.

Now if you're trying to argue some sort of infinite regress, then the Big Bang tautologically caused everything and nothing else is a meaningful cause.
>I don't agree. Vehemently. I am not irritated by the fact that there are ramps on most sidewalks to accommodate those in wheel-chairs, or that there is seating set aside on public transit for those who need it, or that sidewalk crossings speak to those who cannot see...

You listed a bunch of accommodations that do not actually inconvenience you. The people who enjoyed peanuts as one of the few remaining "nice things" about air travel are rightfully annoyed that the airline is canning them because of an edge case. Personally I think they made the right decision but I'm not so dense as to express bewilderment as to why some people don't like it.

>Have you no love for your fellow man? Are you so disconnected from others that their lives are now just an irritation to you?

>What you've said makes me sad. And angry. All life is valuable, sacred even. Assuming there is some "lowest common denominator" that must be "catered to" places a value judgement on those who have different needs and abilities. Are some people really worth less to you?

I hope this is just virtue signaling (and I mean that in the purest dictionary definition way with none of the political charge the term seems to have taken on) and you don't actually take my previous comment to mean what your reply seems to think I mean.

In any case, I assure you the tone of your comment is not making me love my fellow man any more.
Because you're stating that the "harm" that was reported is just "hearing something they disagree with" when there's no evidence hinting at what the "harm" actually was.
This is a joke right? They make some of the most highly regarded cars of all time. Recently buying one and showing it off almost every single person (30~) was blown away at how much better it was then their car and wanted one in the future.

Tesla has many problems but making bad cars isn't one of them, these things are awesome.
