You got a lot of critic here but feedback is good.
I will try out your product. I am happy that its exits an an app and not web only. I don't know if this can "reboot" the internet or become a money making business. But looks interesting for sure.

I also looked into OpenPaper but in the end it offers nothing that recoll does not and recoll does it better.

Marking PDFs, make them searchable and adding comments in Polar could be great for grants and writing a thesis.

EDIT:

1. I really DO like the webcapture feature. I often save importent webpages since I know they may either not be available anymore in the future or I can't find the link anymore. This feature seems smooth already. But how can I sure that your software will still work in 10 years? Do you have an export feature already?

2. I would really like to be able to have folders as a feature to sort stuff better.

3. Your blog does not have an RSS feed.
Why would any paper bag need to be dumped in the ocean? Are U.S. plastic bags and single use takeout containers ending up in the ocean in significant quantities? If so, what municipality is dumping them in and why aren't we stopping them?

We have plenty of space (absent NIMBY zoning issues) and the capability to build ever safer landfills.

Crepes do not cost 15 euros... at the max 5 euros. But you misread the post; he didn't claim the guy made a million euros in a year, he just claimed 1 million, so it could have been spread over 10 years.
If there was free trade and corn wasn't fed to animals there would be enough meat and health and wealth for everyone.

Humans need 250grams of protein a day, some can come from plants, some from eggs, some from animals.

Currently what happens is that corporations lobby governments to protect local food markets under the guise of food security so that grass fed meat cannot be imported from sparse populations with lots of pasture into dense populations short of pasture.

The dense population then gets obese and mentally ill on corn-fed local beef while the corporations profit from the margin between feeding an animal corn or feeding it grass while sidestepping the cost of negative externalities. A hectare (10,000 sq m) of corn will grow 30 tonne of corn in a year, a hectare of pasture will grow 16 tonne of grass in year on the same land. The corn progressively wrecks the land and needs to be replanted every year. The pasture is perrennial and preserves the carbon content of the soil which is a massive and under reported component of the carbon cycle. 10kgs of grass or corn make 1KG of meat. Humans already have a surplus of corn, they are currently turning it into biofuel.

If you factor in the soil preservation then pasture plus grazing animal is the most economically viable sustainable option because double yield of corn comes at the price of the health of the soil and the humans and the animals that it's fed to. Look at the skeletal record around the time of it's invention for the associated decline in health despite the calorific surplus. Look at why corn fattens cattle.

If land is put to it's best economic use the problem slowly corrects itself as the human population naturally declines with improved standards of living.

If you were able to buy grass-fed hormone free argentinian or south african or russian mince in Walmart at true cost the world and the US would be healthier and wealthier. The invisible hand works as long as negative externalities are acknowledged truthfully but there is a lot of profit in obscuring them.

There is also lot of room for trees around pastured land to offset the methane and sheep produce less methane than beef plus non inflammatory milk plus wool.
This debate is happening in a lot of jurisdictions. Here in Ontario we're refurbishing our older reactors, at a massive expense, in order to get off of coal, and reduce dependance on gas.

It's resulted in very high energy costs (especially compared to our hydro-power rich neighbour, Quebec), drove the provincial government out of office, and is one of the things driving energy-intensive industry out of the province.
Wayland is developed by people who don't take security seriously at all. So security arguments are irrelevant here and do not favor wayland in any way.

I'd say wayland is just a new thing that breaks everything in an attempt to break less.
well first of all i think you are equating society and territory, but even so, a society/territory is not akin to a book club. if there is only one club, that you are born into, does that analogy still make sense?

if "outsiders" have no right to declare themselves members of a society -- by what principle does the society earn this right?

it seems that this principle is merely the georgraphy beneath your feet when you were born. i can think of many alternative "rationales for membership" that are much less trivial. remember modern states were born out of "patriotism". i think that is still what defends them. the insider/outsider distinction is precisely the problem.
The fact is that the monetary union has brought closer political integration and will continue to do so because, again, that's the only way.

I think you're trying to ascribe more meaning to whatever book you've dropped the title of that it might have... (I haven't read that book but the author seems serious enough not to ignore facts)
> delaying my next move

We could absolutely afford the mortgage, even if we both lost our jobs and had to find lower pay replacements. We were conservative in every calculation. We put 20% down etc.

Buying a new home is where we tripped up. Right when the economy was starting to crash we bought another house (wife was pregnant) and put our first home up for sale. At the time of course, no one new what was ahead of us "recession" wise.

Obviously in hindsight it was a mistake, but at the time homes were selling like hotcakes and we didn't worry. Prices were also still climbing quickly and we worried that in a few years we'd be priced out of the market.

However, it's worth noting that our first home's value has still not reached it's peak (what we paid) so if we stayed there, we'd still have negative equity. Luck, timing etc. etc.
Sorry, is it a requirement to introduce oneself with his real name to everyone they meet?
Yes, part of the issue here is that there hasn't been a ton of ownership on rustup, and even the Cargo team has not had as much time and effort as we'd like. We're currently working on growing both teams, which means better ownership, which means someone to make these calls.

> "I don't know much about it, so let's kill it" is a really bad precedent.

I would agree, but a "completely ignore security" flag is something to be cautious about.
Then one must ask why are we not responsibly getting rid of our plastic?

Why is there plastic in every corner of the planet[0]?

Why is there trash covered islands that humans don't live on and should be pristine[1]?

Maybe banning plastics is not the answer and responsible disposal is the correct answer, but there is currently a very large plastics problem that must be addressed.

I mean it really is that easy and it takes about the same amount of time, perhaps a little more diligence. It's sad that we need to govern for the lowest common denominator. If the civil servants weren't so lazy/disinterested/uneducated this wouldn't have cost the city as much money as it did to resolve.
Mitigating Spectre only makes sense if you’re doing it in a VM (e.g. operating system, web browser, processor), a system that loads and executes untrusted code. Not in a language or a compiler. If your language/compiler doesn’t allow the coder to exploit Spectre, they’ll just use another language/compiler.
I don't have a lot of context on OData, but from what I can tell from a quick look at the site, it seems a closer comparison would be the JSON:API spec https://jsonapi.org/. Graphiti took a great deal of influence from that spec, and was originally much more directly coupled to it. Now it's the default serialization format, but not the only one. It would probably be possible to "speak OData" as well if that was a big need.

I don't care about paper bags in the ocean. I don't care about plastic bags in the ocean. Neither has the capacity to seriously affect the functioning of marine ecosystems on any reasonable timescale. If we don't seriously reduce our carbon emissions now, most marine ecosystems will collapse due to acidification and deoxygenation.

Plastic is a useful material that is frequently the least energy-intensive (and by extension carbon-intensive) option, but that's largely besides the point. It simply doesn't matter. If you think it does matter, you have grossly under-estimated the effects of climate change. Our house is on fire and we're too busy arguing about the mess on the lawn to put it out.

You probably need to look somewhere were that amount of money would actually makes a big difference. It just doesn't go very far in many places today. Or you need to provide some other value.

Edit: Don't know why this is objectionable. $5k is like one months living costs in many places, and sometimes one months savings. You aren't going to get much in return for that. You need to go somewhere cheaper where that kind of money can buy someone some time. Unless you can provide something else.

Except there are a lot of instances where they do waive your rights, at least as much as agreeing to park. TSA and searches come to mind. Though the language of the second amendment is debatable, there are a lot of "gun free" zones (not to mention how difficult it is to buy a gun in a place like New Jersey). You don't have freedom of speech in many circumstances, such as in the courtroom when a judge bars you from speaking. Prison is another example where basically every right is removed...or school.

Speedy and public trial is regularly a falsehood, particularly in some jurisdictions (NYC for example). That right is removed because it's inconvenient for the government/budget.

Excessive fines too could be debated, particularly given the state of parking and impound fines being the same across all income levels.

There are reasons for each of those, but it does seem that the government can choose to remove any right they want to in specific circumstances.

We shipped the biggest part, which is "procedural macros," which shipped in 1.30. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/10/25/Rust-1.30.0.html#proce...

As I said below, we didn't ship hygiene for them, so there's more work to be done. There's also future work around "macros by example 2.0", but this item on the roadmap was mostly talking about proc macros.
I am a big fan of this. As a 25 year old, I feel that I was truly the last general to experience what true boredom was like as a kid. Hanging out at the school during the weekend wondering what to do - those days are over now. Technology has definitely taken over our lives, and now there's always something to do.

I believe that leisure time is something that most people don't have nor know that they want. As the article states, it lets you think outside of the box and come back with fresh ideas. In a work-centered society though, it's really hard to justify spending that time. Even knowing all this, I still fall into the trap of always being busy with something.

You have to think of the causal chain that leads to recovery of evidence. Marking your tire with chalk is part of the causal chain--if the police didn't do it, they wouldn't know you had broken the law. Touching your car during a stop is not part of any causal chain--it's a separate tort that happens to be non-actionable because there is no damages.

Say a police officer stops you for running a red light. At that point, he has no suspicion that would justify a search. I tries to tap on your door to get you to roll down your window, and his ring scratches your car. That is a trespass to chattels, and it's actionable because it has resulted in damage to your car. After you roll down the window, he sees someone snorting cocaine in the back seat. He then searches your car, and recovers tens of kgs of drugs.

Was there an illegal search? No. Even though scratching your car was a trespass, and even though you can still sue for the cost of fixing the scratch, that trespass had nothing to do with recovering the evidence of drug crimes.
I agree; and if you want to have a conversation about media you need to include the top 4 telecoms as well. Netflix doesn’t really belong with the company it’s often mentioned in.

And yes, VSTS is good. The interface and tools are easy to use, the defaults are way better than Jira and it integrates with damn near everything (even tools it replaces, like Jenkins).

The Microsoft of the late 2010s is almost the polar opposite of the late 1990s Microsoft. It’s all about open tools that link together via proprietary orchestration platforms. Those platforms provide the bulk of the business value, so I’m ok with them not being as open.

There are many depending on which segment you want to look at. Most RV clubs (eg Escapees[1]) cater to retired people who have sold their houses to travel in RVs. Vanlife / vandweller[2] type sites mostly cater to 20-40 somethings choosing the lifestyle. Some, like Cheap RV Living[3], cater to a wide range including those forced into it.

There are also forums dedicated to people building their own vehicles. Cheap RV Living has one. Skoolie.net[4] focuses on buses. Then there's a whole segment of adventure / overlanding vehicles such as Expedition Portal[5].

For me, having hobbies that don't often include drinking seems to help. I play board games, go to book discussions, writer's groups, attend hack nights, go see a movie, go out hiking with people.

Depending on the group, there could be alcohol involved, but usually there isn't, in my experience (or just one or two people will drink, and only a glass or two).

For me it very much depends on who I'm with. I once dated a girl that loved to get wasted on alcohol on dates, and I liked her so I drank a lot with her myself. The current woman I'm dating gets sick if she drinks alcohol, so I pretty much only drink a drink here or there when I meet up with her family or I'm out with certain friends. I easily go six months without a drink now, and usually not much more than a couple of drinks a month.

If I drink too much my next day is completely unproductive, and I hate that, so that also helps to keep me from drinking too much also.

A power that literally no one uses.

Well, no one that matters anyway. For values of "matter" equivalent to "uses a modern desktop".

Whatever the case, modern development heavily favors coding for the common case, not supporting a flexible framework that can accommodate fringe cases. And in 2019, your use case is fringe.

You don't have to travel far to do this. Any medium sized city in the US will have soup kitchens and organizations that try to help the homeless, volunteer some time and energy and you'll get a radical perspective reset. And make no mistake about it, it's hard. Do it until it feels comfortable.

It will help you in a lot more ways than you think. You might be able to sustain a transactional relationship with a partner, but you won't have a really great one if one or both of you is continuously keeping score; things just get out of balance and there is nothing that can "fix" it if maintaining that balance is a need. It's sort of obvious too when you're objective about it, there is nothing you can ever do which is equivalent to growing a baby in your wife's body for 9 months, no amount of "girl's nights" or whatever will ever equal that out. I have no idea how you can be a good parent if there is some sort of return you're expecting other than a smile and a hug; it's sort of the ultimate in that you just give and give and then give some more.

>X is the graphical interface for essentially all Unix derived desktops (all other competitors [link to Display PostScript wikipedia page] died decades ago).

Since when was an X-Windows extension a "competitor" to X? Display PostScript was simply a proprietary X-Windows extension that fell out of fashion, not a competitor to X-Windows.

NeWS was a competitor to X-Windows that died decades ago, but Display PostScript was never a "competitor" to X-Windows, just like the X Rendering Extension and PEX were never competitors, just extensions.

But at least the article gets credit for calling it X-Windows instead of X11, to annoy X fanatics. ;)
