Disagree. A constant stream of news unbalanced towards the negative doesn't necessarily reflect what is "reality". Reality contains as many positives as negatives!
All right so there is already work ongoing to solve these problems, and that work is built on top of IPFS instead of extending the base protocol, and the author who just insisted using plain IPFS was thus suffering from expected difficulties as IPFS really isn't the direct answer to that particular usecase.

Google search tells you how popular it is, and that's what matters when getting a cache hit. Network coverage doesn't affect that.

You can also try Google Trends, which tells you CDNJS is around twice as popular:

The person writing this has to repeat frequently that they're OK with the <toast> element; it's quite funny how hard they try not to upset people.

But their view of the situation is completely correct; just because this one feature might be useful (heck, when Microsoft dumped XMLHttpRequest on us that was incredible too), doesn't change the fact that we're now living in a web where Google does whatever it wants, adds whatever it wants to Chrome, and the web is at its mercy. If they wanted to add <blink> it'd get added and supported, and other browsers would have to follow lest they become incompatible.

There's not really much of a difference between the web today and the "Best viewed in IE" web, and that's sad. There's a difference in developer goodwill, and of course things aren't as buggy as they were back then so it overall doesn't feel like you're "stuck" with Chrome like it did with IE, but... you are. You're just OK with it.

Seems like "raising awareness" is a convenient blanket excuse for people to do whatever the fuck they want, and blame everyone else if the actions breed resentment that's counterproductive to the original goal.

While the parent comment is getting downvotes, probably due to the somewhat accusatory form, the facts behind it are universally true: our civilization is improving. If you took several metrics and weighted them by people's concern, you would see a positive trend [1]. Any "good news" is a statement of the fact, and should be a duh moment to everybody.

Granted, we need the "bad news" too, as certain things still need fixing. However living with a negative impression of the world is living in denial.

Not mentioned in the article, but one of the major contributors to its failure is that the Lisa was a very restricted environment that made it difficult to develop for:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lisa#Third-party_softwar...

Contrast this to the IBM PC where people could easily get started programming in BASIC (included in ROM!) or Asm (MS-DOS DEBUG), for which many magazines of the time had listings. Of course not every user did, but certainly a lot of them started and eventually helped greatly grow the amount of software available.

The PC had a learning curve but the user was in full control, whereas the Lisa didn't have much of one but had many impediments that prevented users from becoming developers. This attitude persists in Apple today.
There is a huge difference between positive news, and news represented with an overly positive tone.

A new tech/drug/math/specie/dino bone is, to me, positive news. It don't need the reporter to scream "awesome" and add kittens when presenting it.

The problem is not positive news. It's that the US is becoming a parody of a 1960 sitcom, like in the excellent movie "Pleasantville", where everything is "fantastic".

Everybody is "so excited" about their new project, or "passionate" about their work. Their "best friend" is "amazing".

Everybody wants to hype up everything, and there is no more space for appreciating reality as it is. You can't say chicken wings are breath taking. What will be left to talk about your greatest achievements or the birth of you child ?

This is what depresses people.

Not positive news.

From another perspective, creating yourself a brand new weapon system that is designed to be vulnerable to remote attacks, data theft, falling out of the sky on demand, and so on, seems like making yourself really, really vulnerable.

This is my experience as well. I love that I have the option to use Python typed and untyped. For little scripts, fiddles, prototypes, etc. it's often convenient to omit type annotations. For solid software that runs in production it's nice to have them.

Another thing that I'm excited about is nuitka [0], a Python to C compiler that allows you to create binaries from Python code. It cut start-up time of a command line tool that I compiled with in half.

> It's a universal principle, why wouldn't it apply?

Because ever since we've invented writing (and arguably even before that - ever since we've invented spoken language), we've left the domain of biological evolution. We now accumulate, evaluate and discard knowledge and technology couple orders of magnitude faster than natural processes. From nature's POV, the entire ~10k years of human civilization happened in a blink of an eye (and note that all the interesting things happened arguably in the last couple hundred years).
Declaring an emergency is a standard method employed by humans to let other humans know that they think there is an emergency that everybody should be acting on.

If I see a fire in the house I am in, it might be in the grate, or it might be on the sofa. If I declare some sort of 'fire emergency', it can help to point out to other humans which of the two situations I think I am encountering and how they might therefore choose to react.

I hope this helps.

> I do not understand how attracting members of underrepresented classes benefits them when the standard needs to be lowered to do so.

I’m a woman with an undergrad economics degree. I struggled with intermediate micro and econometrics so much that I nearly lost my scholarship. The professor was known for having one of the toughest curves and certainly didn’t “lower the standards” for anyone. I was woefully unprepared for these classes. All of my classmates had taken statistics and calculus and I had only gotten as far as y=mx+b. My peers were learning econometrics. I was learning econometrics and statistics. My peers were learning micro. I was learning micro and calculus.

I had always been a good student but I was really proud of those two terrible grades because I worked my ass off to get them and I learned more (and taught myself more) from those two classes than any other undergrad course I took.

Not only did struggling through undergrad econ put me head and shoulders above my peers in law school where a lot of people are afraid of math, it gave me a whole lot of confidence. It was a small miracle that I managed to pass those classes. But I did. Not because the standard was lower, but because I didn’t give up or let myself feel too embarrassed by how little I knew. And now when I don’t understand something or I want to learn about something that’s completely over my head and outside my comfort zone, there’s not a doubt in my mind that I can. And that’s been pretty fucking beneficial.
I found a method that leaves them together for 3 months. That's an improvement at least.

(Of course that means that the calf will take most -but not all- of the milk during that time. But then it is stated that the cost for the vet goes down a lot in exchange.)

Another option I found is to give several calves to one cow for 6 months, which has advantages and disadvantages compared to the first way. (Longer time with milk and natural suckling behaviour but calves without their mother and the smaller ones might get less milk.)

edit: Here is a list with places in Germany that do that:

Unfortunately, it's not just Chrome doing stupid stuff with auto-complete.

The latest Safari (bundled with Mojave) tries to auto-complete email addresses using your address book. That's not at all a bad idea, except that like most things Apple of late, the implementation sucks. When you give the input box focus, it opens up some sort of weird dialog prompt, which pulls you out of full-screen mode if you had it enabled. Really messed up our 3D web viewer.

Why not publish the existence of the vulnerability without any details?

That is the only information most people will get from the disclosure anyway. Only the black hats are helped by disclosing the details.
I'm not sure that's entirely fair; while troops have sometimes rejected useful weapons systems, they've also been left waiting for years for things that they really need. The obvious recent example is AFVs - when you've got troops in the field welding scrap metal to their vehicles, that should be a clear sign that there's an urgent need. British soldiers knew from a very early stage that the SA80 was total junk, but the MoD pushed ahead with procurement anyway for political reasons.

I think what I'm really suggesting is a move from waterfall to agile procurement. A large proportion of procurement requirements can be satisfied better, faster and cheaper with COTS equipment. Rapid iterative improvements in existing weapons systems can provide more combat capability than big moonshot projects to gain a generational advantage.

The US military has unmatched logistical capability, but that capability is often hampered by slow and unresponsive procurement. Being able to move tons of materiel to any place on earth at very short notice is a massive advantage, but that advantage is squandered if you can't procure the right equipment at the right time.
I wonder how long it will take before the Ivys preference of social justice over teaching core curricula will affect their market value.
I have been repeating the Chrome is the new IE meme for the last few years. I even had a boss that only cared about our code working on Chrome and would lose it when I was demoing / developing from FireFox. I only ever demoed in Chrome just to feed that illusion that I was adhering to Chrome but I honestly dont see anything special or better and I still made sure it behaved and worked the same in both. I know people in my office use other browsers (these were internal tools).

It saddens me that people worship Chrome and yet Firefox has a lot more potential in some areas. Hell it was Mozilla and not Google that gave us WebAssembly through asm.js and other awesome efforts. Microsoft gave us AJAX when Mozilla reverse engineered it back when standards were not properly standardized which is why AJAX is so XML focused in the name despite being able to fetch other things.
I get they can - on rare occasion. I'm indignant about the stretch of language, presenting "can" and "sometimes" as "will" and "do", and the way this was tacked onto placenta eating to help say they "already eat parts of cows". To me this is all plain argument through exaggeration.
Herbivores don't need to eat meats and do so rarely, it has hardly been noticed. Sure, some slugs and insects may be an expected nutritional boost and help the digestive system cope with more, on rare occasion. But feeding cows cows does result in prion disease similar to other mammals, like humans suffer from the vanishingly rare practice.
Compared to a Mac II, it was pretty cheap.

"Intent to Implement: Toast UI element"

What a bizarre website. Not sure if it's parody?!
I doubt that many people really care that much about how Libre Office looks. They probably care more about things like the damn math being wrong unless you force recalculation, something I encounter frequently in documents created by Libre Office and read in the same version of Libre Office.
I don't see how toast is different from the countless proposals for new declarative UI HTML elements that have been submitted over the years, and ignored or withdrawn (such as menu/menuitem), other than it coming from Google (and maybe Google not wanting to expose that functionality via a JavaScript API?) The reasoning against new UI elements has always been the same - they're inessential when JavaScript is needed anyway. I think this incident should make it very clear to everyone that HTML as seen by "browser vendors" (Google) is a very different thing from HTML the markup language as used all over the world for personal, business, medical, legal, and cultural documents, and which demands community representation and participation.

That's interesting. I based my opinion on reports such as [1]. Do you have any (semi-)scientific references that support your opinion?

I agree that we don't eat much corn directly, but if it weren't used to feed livestock, we could use the land for something else, like potatoes or lentils or whatever grows in similar climate to corn, which are actually eaten. I'm somewhat doubtful of your claim that corn fed chicken produce 5 million calories per acre. Do you have a citation for that? The usual rule of thumb for going up one level in the food chain is that you lose 9/10th of the energy and corn only produces on the order of 12 million calories per acre. This random google result here [2] indeed claims about 1.4 million calories per acre for chicken.

Yes, the workaround for unused things is:

- comment out a line of code to check something.

- compile, get an error about unused variables because a variable is unused now that the line that used it is commented out.

- go back to the code and comment out that other line.

- compile, get another error because there's another two variables that are now unused.

- comment those lines out.

- compile, get another error because an import is now considered unused.

- repeat ad nauseum.

- Fix the bug.

- Uncomment everything you commented, and try to undo any changes you made to get around unused variables so that your code is mostly back to where it was, plus the bugfix.

- Last compile to make sure everything works.

--

I prefer this method:

- Install a custom go compiler from https://github.com/kstenerud/go

- comment out a line of code to check something.

- go test -gcflags=-warnunused

- fix the bug.

- uncomment the line.

- go test

--

This has nothing to do with the difficulty of debugging the code, or the complexity of the code you are debugging. This is about getting the compiler to stop fighting you.
> you also need to be able to tell what the progress is

That would be nice, but not really required.

> I assume your service is a server side app that is making requests to the ipfs node, right?

Yes, exactly.

> You could set some background task in that application that just waits on the `ipfs pin add --progress` call

I did that, there were problems with the fact that you can't have too many pinning calls waiting due to resource constraints. I can't just have 100k requests open and waiting, they time out, I need to restart the server, things happen. At that point, every single task needs to fire up again and make an API call to the server.

I did the same thing with batching, but then long-running pins (files not in the network) would block and new files that were on the network wouldn't work. This happens with IPFS Cluster too, I just don't have to write my own code to worry about it.

Believe me, I've spent lots of time on working around this, and the workaround can only be so good with the current system.
Please provide a source for your claims. Thank you.

To be honest, I don't get the mania for processed meat substitutes when there's excellent vegetarian/vegan fare from cuisines that have been doing it for millennia. As an Indian brought up in a vegetarian family, I had no inkling or desire to eat meat until I came to the US for grad school.

One day I had this niggling doubt that I continued to be a vegetarian for cultural rather than ethical reasons. I tested that hypothesis by eating a hamburger. It was literally the worst thing I had ever tasted. I had to try hard not to throw up and offend my hosts.

Then I tasted bacon, hot dogs pastrami sandwiches and fried chicken and I understood why people like meat. That continued for a few more months.

About six months after the hamburger episode, I had another epiphany that I don't like eating animals since I don't like animals being eaten. I turned vegan. All's well that ends well.

There's not really much of a difference between the web today and the "Best viewed in IE" web, and that's sad

At least back then sites were not as reliant on JS, so I think that's one of the ways it was better; sure, sites often looked different in non-IE vs. IE, but you could still consume the mostly-static content (and what wasn't static was almost always ads...) Now there are far too many "appifications" of sites that shouldn't be anything but static pages, JS is required to render their content, and that JS is often very browser-specific.

What does “less than ideal” mean?

NHS guidelines in the UK are <6g of salt (2400mg sodium) per day. US guidelines are 2300mg. Salt and sodium are not the same; 1.5g of salt is about 600mg sodium, or about 1/4 of the recommended daily limit. That seems entirely reasonable for a main meal.
