I was surprised by that too. The original/linked YouTube video's description says that the sound was added, not restored:

"A collection of high quality remastered prints from the dawn of film taken in Belle Époque-era Paris, France from 1896-1900. Slowed down footage to a natural rate, added in ambiance sound, and colorized. These films were taken by the Lumière company."
> IE6 gave us XMLHttpRequest because they wanted it to build Outlook for the web. That seems like it turned out ok.

That depends on one's definition of "ok". I don't think that modern web is ok.
No, goretex and Teflon are made with an intermediate applicator chemical called PFOA, which is found in high quantities in carpets, wax paper, and some cleaning products and has been dumped in water sources near chemical factories. Its presence is negligible in clothing and cookware.

Ideologically, I'm opposed to the assertions you've made in these two paragraphs primarily because the bloat and backwards compatibility requirements made innovation more difficult given the diversity of hosts which had to be supported.

But I'll acknowledge that I've got a substantial bias here considering I both keenly observed and to a very modest extent contributed to external coverage of the development of the platform reboots conceived during Longhorn/Vista/7/8 (Avalon/WPF, Indigo/WCF, WinFS, WinRT, some of which succeeded, some of which died) and the efforts to shed legacy platforms dating back almost three decades now.

Why do you believe what you believe? Citations would be helpful, but I recognize we're discussing opinions.
A lot of people, including me, do not think that "good looking" and "native looking" should be any different, and for that, Electron is a failure --- native applications use the UI of the platform and are consistent with other applications on the platform, while Electron applications obviously look different from them, and have the same look regardless of platform, completely ignoring the standard native UI it provides. They don't conform to the customisations I do to the native UI of the platform, which is very frustrating. There's also the unmistakable RAM usage and general sluggishness.

From that perspective, it's not really "cross platform", since you're just developing for one platform that happens to run inside many others: a web app.
Considering how fashion-driven the programming world is, popularity (of the lack of it) of a language or technology says very little about how powerful it is. Prolog's way is very powerful, it's just very different from just about every other language out there, which makes it hard to learn and harder to master.

(As an aside, in my experience, people who believe that "programming == math" seems to be mostly attracted to languages like Haskell and OCaml, not so much to Prolog.)
Everyone seems to have just jumped into the 'Google is evil' bandwagon without even putting thought into it.

I've been thinking much the same thing, both to make search far better, filtering vendors & brands, etc. But I suspect that Amazon would not long allow the consistent access to their data sets this would require.

It seems that it'd be to Amazon's benefit to provide an API (perhaps they do, I haven't really searched, just haven't yet noticed one available) and see what data gets pulled related to sales...

I have no idea whether what it sought was important or not. Half of the difficulty in doing any debugging of anything was that most tools even in 2012 were no longer supporting 2000.

He made a specific claim misrepresenting the guy. A claim in which he could request relief (for instance: employers not hiring him because he was rumored to be a pedo)

He didn't say 'cave guy looks like a pedo', he literally called him a 'pedo guy' which most people would think 'oh, maybe this is a person with a history of abusing children'.

In the least if it makes a someone reading that consider that the plaintiff is actually a pedo or at least has to stop to research it.... that seems fairly defamatory.
Yes, git stash is awesome! I use it all the time to "snapshot" my WIP and/or to quickly get a clean working tree when taking an interrupt to work on something in a different branch. (`gs` alias for `git stash save -u`, along with `grs` for `git reflog show stash` -- which shows the commitish for each stash...)

I see the stash as kind of like a private remote, in that I can freely put whatever messy or experimental or half-baked WIP I like, gaining the benefits of a commit without inflicting it on anyone else.
Unions are nonprofit, they don't exist to "extract money" from anybody. They exist to act on the behalf of all their members in negotiations, to increase wages and to provide employment-related services like labor lawyers in case of a wrongful firing. In the airline industry, Union workers make on average $12k more than non-union workers, which more than makes up for the $700 dues.

I think it depends a lot on your beard. I actually have a very fine beard. Cartridges do not do a good job for me. They always miss spots and the stubble the next day is always uneven. A DE works dramatically better for me. I also didn't find it difficult to learn to use either. I've nicked myself a few times, but the kind of nick where after you finish shaving you see, "Oh there's some blood there" and you wipe it off never to come back again. And to top it all off, I use my blades for about a month. I use a Feather "Popular" holder (less than $10) and Feather blades. After I shave, I brush the blade in the holder with a toothbrush, open the holder, turn the blade over, close the holder and brush with the toothbrush. Then I put it away to dry. This seems to keep the blade in good shape.

I've been surprised in this thread about people talking about taking incredible care. It came very naturally to me. I was put off using DEs for decades because I thought they were hard to use and dreaded cutting myself. Now I'm sad I never used them before.
What's your point? That doesn't make it okay. Amazon could and should pollute less.
It's not terrible. Twitter just isn't your preferred venue so you find it unnatural. It's natural for me to read and for others to read and for the author to have written on Twitter.

Why not put it elsewhere? Twitter is our place. And we like when content is natively published there. I have no interest in Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn or Tumblr but I don't insist all the content in those places shouldn't be there. If all those people came to Twitter it would be a nightmare.
It's a shame - in 2008/9/10 it was really something to see, but as a few other commenters have said, it's (and a lot of the maker movement for that matter) have declined a bit.

I personally think this is due to the infantilization in part of a lot of media outlets, where the emphasis has been placed on getting the ideas into the most hands possible instead of folks who'd actually benefit. Focusing the faires around 3D printing geegaws and cosplay items is fine if you want to make numbers, but you get consumers and the followons, and not creators from that.

You can think of it in the same vein as Marvel movies or Harry Potter books - low content, low thinking media that raises insane amounts of money based on appealing to the mass market and the wannabe 'geek' crowd that doesn't tend to do much innovating except in consumption methods.
What gross profits?
Yeah, I kind of wondered about that as I was writing my comment, seems like a fair point.

Large predators can get swarmed by ants in some markets. After some thought on the point my uncle was trying to get across, I suspect the hire car market is one of them. Look at the bloat of Uber. If you don't try and own the whole thing but wrote an app that gave the functionality of uber to the existing cab and hire market, you could probably run it on a shoestring.

edit - basically I think whoever works out the craigslist version of Uber will eat Uber's lunch and it is quite likely someone will.

Windows 10 is a hybrid kernel. https://stackoverflow.com/q/19365184/308851

Microsoft itself called the NT 3.1 kernel a "macrokernel". https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions//cc750820...

If you look at the Other Wiki, you will find even Mac OS is not a microkernel. http://wiki.c2.com/?MicroKernel

> XNU is not a MicroKernel, it is a kernel obtained by merging the Mach MicroKernel with parts of the BSD kernel and parts specific to Darwin, all running in kernel space.

OKL4 is the most widely deployed pure microkernel in Qualcomm phone modems and Apple's Secure Enclave coprocessor. It is possible OKL4 is the most widespread OS, in fact.

Tip: take a photo and view it in the photo app on your phone or desktop. It is often much easier to read then. If it is not, it can often be made so by playing with the editing options.

ADB is also much less flexible. I have Titanium Backup making nightly backups, and then FolderSync automatically pushes them to a SFTP server I run. If something should happen to my phone, I'll lose one day of data. This is all automatic, so I don't have to think about it.
A backup like ADB that requires manual intervention is likely to be only done irregularly, and Murphy says that you'll lose your phone just after forgetting to make a backup for weeks.

It's very rare that "failed attempts" are a useful signal. When it is the case, it's better to document it (eg. as part of the commit message, PR, or the dev documentation itself).

Commit histories littered with commits that get back-and-forth reverted are frickin unreadable though. Extremely annoying to bisect, painful to comb through when looking for changes, noisy in git blame, etc. There's a ton of downsides for what in practice is very rarely even an upside.

I've never asked for a pre-payment, but I've figured out a small project to do for them and made clear that at each milestone they're welcome to walk and I'll support their new person with whatever documentation they need though I won't offer "support" in the sense of hours of my life training people unless I'm getting paid, which is usually not a big deal. They don't seem to have a worry about paying you to train the new person, but do seem to worry that your emotions about being let go will impact the timeline.

Their real worry is that you'll suck and delay things, by making clear that you understand that such things happen and will help as you can if it does you improve trust. And you should really be doing that anyway ethically. And realize that sometimes you're just not the right person for the job and to help them find the right person if you want to build a strong network.
>They're doing this in the open through the W3C WICG process [1]. They're not doing this as they see fit.

They launched the draft on the 2nd and implemented the tag on the 10th. I'd hardly call that going through the open process. That's a move to save face.
AFAIR it was 2, but still impressive.
Perhaps "deprecated" isn't quite accurate. I could have sworn one of their documentation pages basically said, "there's a good chance you'll run into problems if you use the CLI, and we don't recommend using it." If there was something that explicit I can't find it at the moment. There is [0] that says "please use the in-process runner if possible," [1] discussing problems with the cli migrators, and [2] where the maintainer seems to have a preference for removing the cli's in the long run.

No, I'm not talking about a retainer; in fact, a retainer is almost the opposite arrangement, where you take payment up front for a bucket of hours to be used (or lost, gym pricing style) over the period of engagement.

Well, I think this supposed "sighting" of dark matter rests on an assumption that this version of dark matter actually decays via particle-anti-particle annihilation. If that is true, then one could begin to describe or speculate on it's quantum and electromagnetic properties and look for other places these properties manifested. IE, the matter would be no longer literally dark but could be fit within our broader understanding of atomic particle ... or might force us to expand this understanding. Either way, it seems like a significant advance.

Sure, if it gets approved as a standard. Why not go look at the history of other HTML, CSS, and JS API additions, and the way they were staged, and what percentage shipped without agreement from other stakeholders?

Start at https://www.chromestatus.com/features/schedule you can drill down from there, for each feature, you can see links to W3C, WICG, TC'39, or whatever repositories, complete with discussion, and status from other browser vendors.

Yes, Chrome has shipped proprietary API features "on by default" before without buy-in from everyone else (e.g. NaCL), but so has Mozilla. The question is, are these the exception, or the rule?

And in my view, most of the Web's evolution in the past few years has been way more open and participatory than the 90s/00s Netscape/IE era.

Of course I have. But under capitalism the normal method is through prices. With socialism, the normal method is as I said, because the pricing method is not available.

For another example, food prices are set by the government under socialism. The actual "price" of food was how long you were willing to wait for it. People would pay others to stand in line for them. There were shortages of the better stuff. While in a free market grocery, the price varies daily depending on fluctuating demand and supply. Shortages are rare.
