But for every 2advanced studios there were tens of thousands of people not using Flash as their entire site.

If people really wanted a no constraints platform to build any UI they want with a blank slate then web development as we know it today would be a completely different environment.

Instead, 20 years later, we're still trucking along with HTML as being the primary focus, and everything else can be loaded as needed.

You can build some pretty amazing things today with a combination of HTML, CSS, JS, fonts and websockets. But at the same time, if you don't need an application and just want to serve a HN style site, you can render HTML with a bit of CSS and everything works well. To me, that's one hell of a success story.

Yup, I've noticed that too. Unfortunately it seems he's making too much sense and others are trying to bury him by not covering him. It was a breath of fresh air when I discovered him. I'm somebody that absolutely hates politics because everyone's saying what people want to hear just to get votes rather and only talking about issues at surface level. You can sense the sincerity in Yang's voice, he's not a lifetime politician, he comes from a social work background, he's going after real root-cause issues, provides data to back up his arguments, talks about issues instead of trying to gain popularity by demeaning the opponent, etc etc.

You are using the word "fact" where its patently obvious that "opinion" is the correct word, after your mistake was already explained to you.

> breaking the social compact

opinion or debatable fact.

Yes, slavery is traditionalist.

I'm honestly not convinced that this theory makes any sense. Not all company employees are considered insiders. Therefore any information sent out in company wide disclosures like this has to be controlled pretty closely, probably even more so than public communications.

This is normal communication, it just gets more attention b/c Tesla.
It’s in the context of the story in the game. You first play “one angry citizen”, then you “make a news website and call yourself editor-in-chief” at their request. It’s not condescending. It’s just fun.
It also makes websites that don't have high resolution icons, logos, etc really stand out and look bad.
Under Windows this is what I use https://clickmonitorddc.bplaced.net to change such things.
pre windows 10 you could disable HDMI and DP handling of the monitor detect signal.

Sadly MS figured we all wanted to have to shit move around as soon as you use a KVM.

(Also, there's usually a 90% chance that windows will not correctly handle the monitor reconnecting without having to either power cycle the monitor or using the video card's 'really truly scan for monitor changes' feature.)
I use gopass a lot, but they direction in which they took the pass API is absolutely horrible. The ammount of irrelevant commands they added made it an UX nightmare.

No, I'm questioning the validity of answering the title question by consulting a dictionary. That's not how one should go about answering technical questions, even if we find it works sometimes. (The proper way to address the question would also allow you to recognize when a dictionary was wrong.)

Dictionaries don't actually tell you what a word means, they give examples of what it may mean from common usage.

Few of the pioneering computer companies in the 60's were in Sillicon (sic) Valley. And their engineers weren't all in one other single place in the US, either. (How the Twin Cities lost out to Silicon Valley in the high-performance computing race is a fascinating story, but that involves just a few of the many computer companies that were around in those times.)

Fake news is less about outright lying and more about controlling and enforcing a certain narrative. That’s a problem especially when 6 companies own almost all of the media.

I think the solution is more independent journalism. I’m already seeing a lot of it on Twitter with independent researchers. These people have obvious biases but it’s clear, which makes these sources oddly more useful even if they’re openly partisan but independent.
This is happening to me. Been in a severe burnout for a little over 6 months (since before the 2018 holidays) and possibly as much as a year before that.

Got put on a project that ended up being my Waterloo. Ruby was the language, but I'm more of a php/shell/MATLAB data swizzler functional programmer. It had 100 developers over a decade, roughly 100:1 code bloat, an order of magnitude more side effects than I've ever encountered in any other code, no straightforward way to unit test the critical path I was tasked with fixing because it ran live in AWS, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I think my brain got so saturated with antipatterns that it went into a kind of survival mode and started overwriting anything nonessential. Which basically meant that all the precious neurons we use for finding outside-the-box solutions were being used to find the safe path through minefields day in and day out. When the inspiration ran out, the brute force path was so much rougher to traverse that my productivity dropped an order of magnitude or more. I assume it might be similar to what a professional artist experiences when they're forced to be creative to meet a deadline but in the end produce subpar work or even nothing at all.

Nobody ever told me when I was young and bouncing off the walls with exuberance and creativity that someday that wellspring might run out. That I'd wake up one day tired, so impossibly tired that when I sit down at the computer I'm asleep within 15 minutes.

Similar things have happened in other departments. Like: my teeth are super strong so I've never had a cavity, but nobody told me my gums would weaken and threaten all my teeth. Our greatest strengths can fail at any time, for reasons we don't anticipate. Then what do we do?

I'm a big picture thinker so I worry that this sort of systemic fatigue is beginning to affect world politics. Like, if automation increases wealth inequality, then we're royally hosed. Or at the very least, something has to change (maybe even capitalism itself). And we know this, deep down inside. Everywhere I look, I see compounding dysfunction. I see the gears within the dysfunction. I see the people turning the thumbscrews of the people fixing the gears so that the machine becomes the thumbscrew crushing the world.

But hey, maybe I'm just burned out.

And as a footnote, I've been improving. But healing takes time proportional to the original insult, which is a great deal longer than I had hoped for.
Why not? After all, as the article posits, a diversity of opinion is important for the health of democracy. What better way to introduce diversity of opinion, then news that doesn't neatly fall into the socially-left-us-exceptional-pro-business-anti-human and the socially-right-us-exceptional-pro-business-anti-human buckets?

You don't even have to turn to foreign news for that. There's no shortage of diverse domestic ideas, that for some unfathomable reason aren't being promoted.

A doctor can lose their license for malpractice. A lawyer can be disbarred. Architects and civil engineers will lose their license if they knowingly create an unsafe structure.

These professions have codified standards, licensing, and membership requirements for practitioners. There is a real incentive to conform and maintain your license because otherwise you cannot work. In these professions you know the standard of ethical behavior and you can reasonable expect your fellow professionals to also refuse questionable requests. An unethical client is going to have a hard time going down the street to find someone else who is willing to do what you won't.

I'm not trying to excuse the bad behavior of some software developers. My point is that the software industry and profession lacks much of what other professions have established in order to maintain high standards.
Science is science as long as it is used and examined by scientific minds.

Scientific results and studies are indistinguishable from propoganda when used to sway/lead/inform the public. I'm not saying science is propoganda, I'm saying it becomes indistinguishable for those who aren't participating in performing the research or understanding the research methodologies.
The proposal for `try` made my eyes bleed. It combines a number of features from metaprogramming and generic types but in a hard-coded manner and doing a number of assumptions about functions signatures, etc.

I guess that's the idea of Go, to restrict the language power by giving just the functionality the designers think the programmer should have, but to not allow anything too fancy.

However, if you put some thought to it, it really sounds silly when you know that this will only limit your ability to actually use the language and not really "simplify" anything, since it only adds to the general cognitive load of the language - in this case, one more exceptional case.
I wonder if indexing and ranking could be decentralized. Lets say we design some data formats and protocols to exchange indexing and ranking information. Then maybe instead of getting a single Google, we could have a hierarchical system of indexers and rankers and some sort of consensus and trust algorithm to aggregate the information between them. Maybe offload indexing to the content providers altogether, i.e. if you want your website found, you need to maintain your own index. Maybe do a market on aggregator trust, if you don't like a particular result, the corresponding aggregator loses a bit of trust and its rankings become a bit less prominent.

I remember implementing this for a class years ago, and then the professor suggested doing the inverse to try to expand the image width. The idea was you would duplicate the lowest energy seam... but all that did was create a lot of repeats of the same seam.

I never did finish that weird idea, but I probably needed to try something like increasing the energy of the chosen seam (and its duplicate)... I may try that again, just because I'm curious what would happen.
Well I suppose that makes some sense. I have felt that Fox's online presence is slightly more neutral (though somehow more sensationalist) than their TV presence.

Edit: I do think the separation of their opinion pieces from their regular news reporting is a little bit of a cop-out though.
It's easier to police threads than comments... there's hundreds of thousands if not millions of comments on thousands of different threads, the T_D is known to allow full threads devoted to violence, and they just leave them up. They are known to let slide MANY innuendos of violence, I'm sure if you did a statistical analysis of violent enacting comments across r/politics and r/The_Donald that you'd find way more on the donald than politics. Would you find 0 on poltics? probably not, some probably get overlooked and go unreported or overlooked, doesn't mean they shouldn't be moderated, just means there's not enough resources all the time to get the job done.

TD has always been toxic, racist, and bigoted, it was just a matter of time before this happened. I think it happening near an election cycle is just coincidence, I think more the civil-war inciting of the current events in Oregon is at play here.

> I'd call the amounts they get paid to work are more than generous since they do not have to repay the cost of their incarceration.

Prisoners do not have any control over how much their incarceration costs, therefore have no obligation to pay any of it back. The idea is that the loss of liberty alone is atonement, no judge ever sentenced an inmate to 'n days of incarceration + repayment of expenses incurred by the state in a negotiation process in which the defendant played no part'.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with your comments, whatever your goal is you are likely not helping it.

Everyone is talking about text but there's icon crispness as well. A non-power of two rescaled of pixel perfect icons can look terrible.
An improvement, really? It seems to me that it reinforces a bad pattern (returning an error directly without annotation) and will make return analysis of functions in code review a lot harder. For what, to reduce typing? Doesn't strike me as a good tradeoff, and certainly feels at odds with Go's principles so far.
That was my conclusion, yes. Presuming Amy and Ben are ideologically wedded to their respective backfire beliefs: If the effect doesn't exist, Amy changes her mind, so won't try to Ben out of his disbelief. If the effect exists, the negative article will reinforce Amy's belief in it, but her positive argument will in turn only reinforce Ben's negative belief.

I am pretty sure that HDMI CEC has a way to enumerate the connected devices and see if there's anyone alive on the other end of a cable. Assuming the other end also does CEC.

1. I didn't say all news sources are "equally biased". Saying all news sources are biased is not the same as saying equally biased. Some are obvious more biased and more propagandistic than others. But without a doubt, every news source has biases. If you think I'm wrong, feel free to look into the history of every news company. Who created them, funded them and who is running them. But I suspect you already know this.

2. I didn't say the "aggregates" produce an unbiased result. I didn't mention anything about "aggregates". Seeing different opinions exposes to you the biases of every news source. If you just watch foxnews or cnn all day, you won't be able to pick up on the bias. But if you watch both, the biases of both become blatantly obvious. I'm not saying watching both somehow magically makes CNN or Foxnews "objective" and "honest". Quite the opposite.

3. Neither of those assumptions are credible because I didn't make them. You made those assumptions in an attempt to defend mainstream media. Which I see all over social media recently.

Every comment about being skeptical about media ( especially mainstream media ) gets met with your type of comment. Makes me wonder.

>You are wrong here. California has the worst homelessness problem in the country, and SF is leading within California. It is just not a national issue. I travel for work...no where is like SF for homeless. Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, NYC, DC,... nothing.

Where do you think most of these homeless people from? SF originally? It's a national issue, they migrate to the West Coast from all over the country because of weather and better programs. The West Coast is pretty much the social safety net of the United States for people with mental illness and other issues.

>Traffic...ummm, east bay/south bay are where most people live. Also traffic in the city is terrible too. Your Saturday routine sounds like you don't leave Marin...which sure, yeah, not a ton of traffic.

I don't hit traffic in the city before 11am on the weekends. People sleep in and get started later, if you beat the rush you beat traffic.

Yeah the traffic is definitely going to be where all the people live because that's where all the people live. You said SF specifically in your comment not the "Bay Area" or East Bay / Peninsula.
There was once a great post on ready comparing home computers with Japanese counter parts, and how much more expensive they were due to extra memory to hold the alphabet, as well as how unnatural typing was (could only type katakana and latin, still needed more memory than the US version - those kind of things)

The authors conclusion was that this turned Japan into a single-use device nation (because a nintendo doesn't need you to type) and the west much more focused on PC's. I think he even went so far as to say the iPod couldn't have been invented in Japan, because it was too dependant on a PC to get music onto it (the article was pre-iphone, or around that time)

Yes, but multicellular organisms have evolved specifically to contain lineages of cells that form specialized tissue that allows them to better exploit certain ecological niches. These specialized tissues are only possible if the lineages of cells that make up the tissue specialize to a degree that makes them unviable on their own. That is categorically different from, say, a bacterial cell, which is evolved to exist and reproduce on its own.

There is now.
The confusing part is the underlying assumption that there exists a way to "handle" errors, understood as a way to workaround the error and somehow continue execution. This is most of the times futile, there is nothing to "handle", other than abort the execution and report the condition.

For example, consider a bug that causes a data structure invariant to be violated. The correct "handling" of the situation is to fix the bug and rerun the code, not add layers and layers of error "handling" code ahead of time.

My biggest concern is how they will implement generics and if it will lead to generics being abused and making codebases worse. FWIW, eventhough Go is less expressive than certain languages, it wins in clarity and readability.
Well, the online version might fail on heavy computations to be honest, so it might be best to have it installed locally if you're planning to do some serious stuff. But for the first acquaintance, the online SymPy should be fine.
This is absurd on the face of it. Should mustache wearers self-police themselves after Hitler and Stalin wore mustaches? No, I share nothing with the guy who wrote the emissions cheating and I share nothing with the guy who wrote these dark patterns in. We both use the same wrench and we both call ourselves the same title, but he’s the bad guy.

Or perhaps it’s clearer if we talk about Jewish people not self-policing Jewish bankers committing fraud, or Catholics with their child abuse, or perhaps Muslims with their bombing? Surely I’ve definitely opposed scamming just as much those people have.
