One disadvantage as that many search engines and other programmatic means won't be able to read the Javascript.
Maybe they should avoid conversations that don't lead to accurate information instead? I can forgive lack of precision (especially when qualified), but knowingly giving another person inaccurate information is an act of sabotage.
> fine if you're learning stuff by doing it but for god's sake don't go suggesting it's "easy"...

This is exactly what I’ve come to realize. Static site generators are not at all as simple, easy or intuitive as you might think.
But despite any positive or negative events, it still feels about as good as it did then, right? ;)
Concerns with Facebook’s Libra
Can you explain? My understanding is that megolm (what Matrix uses) ratchets the session forward every hour or every 100 msgs, whichever first.
To add to the irony, I have a British accent which often drops (initial) Hs but I cringe whenever I hear 'erbal'.
I can't speak for Stadia but Steam have been shipping open source projects like Proton and pushing Vulkan. If anything, Stadia will increase pressure on Steam to keep improving desktop Linux compatibility.
> Irresponsible people like, for example, those who deliberately installed defeat devices?

Yes, them too!

> Manufacturers don't trust users, but ask users to completely trust them.

It's less that manufacturers don't trust users, and more that they could be held legally responsible for users' behavior here.
I am so psyched about this.
The article does not seem to be true. I want to buy one right now, but the only OS that are offered for each P model are different versions of windows.
I teach in a humanities department, and vastly prefer chalk because it's more reliable than markers, erases more cleanly, and simply looks better. Several of my colleagues feel the same way. Anecdotal, of course.
I'd posit that maybe it's transference from newsworthy cases of loss of property. In burglary cases we read about thieves stealing goods of high-value, so one reasons that the average person is more inclined to steal high-value goods. Whereas the more accurate model is perhaps that most thieves and average people would prefer to steal only what is necessary and convenient, but the value of goods that were not stolen is not reported.
What REPL do you use on the JVM? I've added JRuby to Java projects in the past just to get a REPL.
Children of Time is excellent, and does a really good job of tracking the evolution and eventual ascension of the Portiid spiders. Tchaikovsky creates a really convincing civilisation based on the limits of the planet and the spiders: a technological civilisation without major metal use and with nearly perfect information transfer between generations.

The sequel Children of Ruin was a disappointment. It came out recently and I bought it straight away. I'm fascinated by octopuses, but I felt their civilisation was given short shrift to make way for the rest of the story he wanted to tell
Such an interesting study. Over the past few years, I encounter daily cynicism about how ‘people are the worst’. But, it is so important to not lose this basic trust in others because that, in fact, is the only true foundation in life. We are all alone in this world and to lose trust in the one, absolutely critical and positive tenet of human life is despairing. People are generally good and even, when they are not, it is all explainable.
I graduated in this decade (from a large public university), and I would say that 90% of the worthwhile classes I took were taught on boards, and at least 50% of the classes taught via slides weren't worthwhile. It's not as uniform as you think.
Is this also a byproduct of bias?(gratitude)
No: one could easily imagine a world where you remember all of the bad stuff, but are still incentivized to not write it down; an autobiography is an edited work of text, while autobiographical memory is a capability of a human.

Why are you using GRUB to dual-boot at all? Your machine has UEFI for that.
I am sure that everyone involved knows what it is about. Eventually they will get caught and squeal. The local guys have immunity from local prosecution but FBI is a different story.

Usually a leader's family member or a trusted person will create a consulting business and help you "navigate" local rules and obtain permits. As soon as money is exchanged a phone call is made and you're untouchable. You call it a bribe, they call it their money. Just like their salary, bribes are part of their compensation.

Say, Russia, can close any business, any time they want. It's impossible to comply with all their rules and regs (by design) and even if you could, no court will rule in your favor. So...enter middlemen.
The way this is phrased makes it seem like this "treadmill" is a bad thing. I acknowledge that this is bad for an individual, but I actually think this is overall good for humanity and is a major reason why we've developed so much so quickly.

We know plenty of animal species are really smart, but they've never figured out how to build skyscrapers or generate electricity. We chalk this up to the fact that "humans are just smarter", but even in humans brains alone don't bring accomplishments. There has to be associated action, and people need motivation to actually take that action.

Our ancestors didn't say "well I've figured out how to grow some wheat and live in a straw hut, so I'm good now". Sure, they probably did for a while, but soon they started looking for easier ways to grind their flour and tastier ways to cook it because they stopped being satisfied with the status quo. Extend this for ten millenia and now we have billions of people connected to a global network from devices in their pocket.

If humans were always perfectly happy all the time, I don't think we'd have come as far as we have. The "return to dissatisfied normalcy" that comes over time is part of our nature and it may be one of the most important parts for explaining why we got here.
During a cardiac arrest the primary problem is a pump failure - blood is not flowing through the vasculature. A trickle of oxygen into the wrist will not help if the blood is not being circulated.
I welcome the added flexibility of this new syntax. This eases encapsulation of related logic within the same block of code, instead of having it spread over different Vue directives.

Plus, at a glance, it seems very easy to pick up and very intuitive.

I also appreciate that you stay away from "javascript classes"
It seems to be exactly the opposite instead: “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.”

I read it recently and have mixed feelings about it. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you haven't read much on the topic and want an overview.

I think it does an excellent job of ancient, pre-historical humans -- the various branches of Homo and how they interrelate. He makes it clear that 'human' and 'Homo Sapien' and not absolute synonyms: Homo Sapiens are one kind of humans, the last surviving, but humans encompass all of the Homo genus that came before too. I liked that distinction and it changed the way I thought about humanity as a whole.

I think it gets significantly weaker once it moves past the pre-historical hunter-gatherer stage. Part of that is that the staggering complexity and variety of human civilisation post-agriculture means he has to condense, but I also feel like his real interest lies in pre-agricultural humans of all kinds.
How about Vue 3.0?
I'm criticizing you, not the idea of sharing music or playing cover songs.
I'm living non-monogamous and in the poly community we often talk about a similar phenomenon called "Relationship Escalator", which is less general than the "Hedonic Treadmill".

The idea is that most people see a relationship as an escalator where you move up somehow automatically. First you date, than you're going steady, then you move in together, marriage, kids etc. pp.

The hedonic treadmill is considered one of the reasons for this behavior. Many people are most happy at the beginning of a relationship, when they get less happy they try to do something to get back to the starting level.

Points here are:

1. The space of new things you can do with your relationships isn't one dimensional, you don't have to move in one direction to get happier.

2. Maybe you're just running in the hedonic treadmill and don't realize it, so take some time to evaluate your life before you do things that are hard to impossible to revert.
Be careful: The Sentinelese and all other uncontacted tribes are Homo sapiens exactly the same as you or I. Just because they might have a very different culture doesn't make them alien in the way Homo neanderthalensis or Homo floresiensis might have been to our (and the Sentinelese peoples') ancestors.
I'm not sure I completely buy the "creepy" nature of this, or that everyone hates getting unsolicited emails - AFAIK this is a clear GDPR violation.

In my previous company we rewrote our checkout flow for this reason. Capturing emails and offering certain consumers discounts via emails after a few hours etc. was a successful move (given that a certain % of people will drop due to price sensitivity) - but GDPR removing that choice is a clearly a good thing for the majority who drop for other reasons.
> I guess it's maybe a cultural thing, I've heard that the Japanese still place a lot of emphasis on handwriting letters and notes.

Sorry to be this guy, but, nope. It's quite opposite. Old generation, yes, they do. New generation, especially smartphone generation, are not writing anymore. And to the point that they have problems with handwriting some kanji characters. Most of the stuff is printed, now, or written on the keyboard slash phone. It's just much faster for them. OTOH it's hard to blame them. Kanji characters require much more effort to write properly and there's much more of them to remember than Latin letters.

It's definitely cultural, but I think this is something different. Obviously it's generalization and my opinion, but I deeply think there is something to it.

Like any other nation I know, Japanese tend to master things they do. I've experienced this first hand. They can perform a single task whole life, improving it, until they become exceptionally good at it. It may seem to be a tedious everyday chore, but through all repetition and improvement they are raising it to the level of art. Often, they even put an additional effort for something that doesn't directly pay off financially but increase esthetics, comfort and overall experience. I love them for that and I hope they'll never change, for the sake of the whole world drowning in a sea of ugly, cheap and minimal effort products.
Indeed - see Poiseuilles equation [https://www.openanesthesia.org/poiseuilles_law_iv_fluids/]
SGML is a markup meta-language, meaning it takes a vocabulary (a Document Type Declaration grammar for HTML) as input, along with the actual HTML source markup. See [1] for a HTML5 DTD which has all the necessary declarations for HTML's element omission/inference rules, enumerated attributes, etc. Apart from element inference and other markup shortforms, this will be familiar if you know XML (which is a subset/profile of SGML), but SGML has a number of additional concepts for content authoring/page composition such as link processes (an additional type of declaration set that can define an automaton for assigning attribute values based on context, and can be pipelined to produce "views" of documents such as a table of content or nav) and short references (which are element-context specific rules for replacing custom text sequences into other text or markup tags). My SGML implementation also has templating which is an additional form of parametric entity inclusion based on concepts from HyTime, without adding any new syntax to SGML.

As to writing practical web pages, I'm working on it, ;) The pages/blog you see on sgmljs.net are completely produced by SGML.

<b> and <i> were never deprecated. They are perfectly valid in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1 and were basically treated like <span> except with default styling.

No semantic web person would have said <strong> and <em> “replaced” <b> and <i> except for the specific cases where <strong> and <em> are semantically appropriate. For example, italicizing ship names with <em> has always been wrong.

It’s simple: poor people have always been screwed by people in power. It’s been that way since forever. It’s Florida too, so there’s probably a racial component. You get to screw over poor people AND black people.

There is no larger point. People are cruel, particularly certain political parties that tend to maintain power in the American South.

Oh my, I completely forgot about this. I would change all the icons for the shortcuts on my desktop to "better" ones from this list too. Good times.
The article mentions GitHub will host Jekyll websites for free. Is that a common misconception? GitHub will host absolutely anything for free, you’re not limited to Jekyll at all. It’s just GitHub has some extra support for it.

But I’ve never felt any need to take advantage of the Jekyll features. Pushing html of any sort to the gh-pages branch is trivially easy.
Which is why I explicitly stated Windows 2-1 foldables or iPad Pro.
Still, the Nexus 9 was a horrible device right after unpacking it: The UI was slow, apps were OOM killed due to memory pressure after light usage, the back was scratched easily and the buttons felt flimsy. The display was also terrible and not high resolution enough.

The Pixel C was so much better: Beautiful screen, built like a tank, everything felt solid and relatively light weight, Android performed excellent on it and with Nougat it was even usable as a true productivity device because of multi tasking. I loved the Pixel C. When I tried to upgrade it to an iPad Pro due to it having reached its EOL, I returned the iPad Pro after a couple of days and kept using the Pixel X, until Google announced the Pixelbook. Then I managed to sell the Pixel C for about 300€ because it still looked prestine and the person who bought it brought it another 2 years of use thanks to some after market Android image.
In my opinion the old API looks significantly better in every every example here. I really hope you guys figure out a way to better preserve that original simplicity. It was what drew me to Vue as a clear winner in the sea of JS frameworks.
This should be the motto for almost everything.

The one that comes with it, starting with Java 9, jshell.

I like this.

I wonder how the 'create an account' problem is best solved. Some sites (like Bandcamp) explicitly don't require accounts, and just associate purchases with e-mail addresses until you create an account. Other sites sometimes will give you an account with just an e-mail address, then allow either resetting password or 'magic links' (a la Slack) that log you in from an e-mail. I think for simplicity, it's probably best to abstract e-mails from accounts, so from a data model PoV, which thing do you ideally associate a purchase with, a phantom account or email addresses directly?

Side note: I worry that skipping the cart review mostly loses customers because they begin having second thoughts. While adding this step may reduce conversion, it may be more ethical to include it as it may improve user's decision making.
Sounds wrong. First of all, I'm pretty sure it's not the SEC which forbids selling the first 6 months. It's the underwriting banks that enforce this on pre-ipo shareholders in order to protect the price volatility of the offering.
Can confirm. I'm doing https://wordsandbuttons.online in plain HTML and yes, it's incredibly liberating.

But I went a bit further, I do write HTML by hand in vim (plus some python scripts when applicable). Writing HTML is not that bad once you get used to it. My pages are not plain text anyway. They are mostly interactive things written in JavaScript. Since I spend considerable time coding, it doesn't bother me to spend five minutes putting tags here and there, too.

Coming up with the design decisions takes much more effort than typing in the actual tags.

And yes, I do have an RSS. It's also updated manually since it's again an effort too small to automate.
The trouble is advertising and marketing have irritated it so much that we have gone past the point where scratching was good. That itch has turned into a gaping wound filled with puss and blood.
> And if we charge landlords a tax for the high rents they collect, then we should also charge homeowners for the imputed rent they would have collected, to remove the inequity between owner-occupiers and landlords.

Never understood that part. Why would we want to "remove the inequality between owner-occupiers and landlords"? What inequality anyway, since landlords often already are owner-occupiers themselves, with extra properties they rent out?

What? Autoranging has absolutely no impact on whether you will damage a digital multimeter or not. If you select too low of a range it will simply display overload but not cause any damage on a meter worth it's salt.

Now, if you connected it to something above the specification of the meter or perhaps tried reading a voltage in ammeter mode, that's user error and completely your own fault and wouldn't have been prevented by autoranging.
I don't think it's that bad in your garden... I ran a foobot at home when we had our son. Air quality in the house was good a mile or two from central london and a few hundred meters from a big road. Looking at the pollution maps the pollution is extremely concentrated along big roads and even a short distance (10s of meters) away it's not so bad.
It actually isn't very lucrative.

How would you like to have bought a house, and then have the two houses next to you bought, torn down, and turned into a gas station? That’s going to kill both your immediate quality of life and your property value. Because that’s what no zoning laws get you — just take a look at Houston TX where this already happens.
And they only automate the trivial stuff anyway.

I spend most of the time on writing, editing, then programming, and only then typing the text and doing the layout. The last 5% of that could be automated, but then I wouldn't be able to write things down from my phone while traveling, or directly from my CHIP when exploring ARM-related things.
