Qt has been supporting CSS-like styling of your native applications for quite a while now.
So? Tabloids have always been popular because they're entertaining. Movies are probably more popular than news too.

And BuzzFeed is a no different than NYT it WaPo at the macro scale. They just have a different idea about what the filler content should look like. Print news is really behind and have been fruitlessly playing catch-up due to a prestigious culture that holds reporting the most boring least relevant news as the highest ideal. The paper should be pushing a handful of super in-depth issues and putting the 'reporting' straight in the archive for news nerds.

NYT's Wirecutter is the most interesting innovation from an old guard news org I've seen in a while and is a good candidate to be some of that filler -- relevant, useful, and sometimes genuinely interesting.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a "tenement block", but a typical tech salary in New York or San Fransisco isn't going to be enough to live in a town house. If you're in a city, you're going to be in an apartment, and that apartment is probably going to be in a block of apartments.

>If I got cancer in the US I'd have be forced to live in a tenement block. take public transport and eat cheap food just like if I was "lucky" in the UK.

That's an interesting perspective on public transport. Public transport is a far more pleasant way to get around London than driving :)

But, no, you could end up in a far worse situation than that in the US. Medical costs are very unpredictable and bear no relation to your wealth. You could easily end up bankrupt and unable to pay for vital medical treatment. I realize that most Americans like to live in complete denial of this fact, but it's inarguably true.

Also, even taking what you say at face value, it's quite incredible that you're satisfied with this. Why should you have to take a massive hit in living standards just because you get sick?
That's precisely what I mean my fellows
a) My smug tone is because I've lived here long enough to know the rules are off and I'm pretty much a kept animal, as well I mean that by the end of it one thing set off another and it got so far out of hand even our local political representative had to get woken up from his slumber to settle the matter. In North America the cops don't even handle this sort of thing let alone the detective squad

b) I used the expression 'decided to be a hero' because in these situations everyone will tell you 'don't be a hero' but I didn't want the bike to rust any more or risk getting taken away so I wheeled it up to do my duty as a 'citizen' i.e. take accountability for its safe return

c) Yes I did adopt the tone of villainy, it's hard to pass through people's sarcasm detectors but don't forget you're reading my words in your perception of my tone of voice and we're all one cosmic consciousness experiencing itself etc

d) Yes, my last snarky jab is necessary because in Asian countries everyone will tell you don't step out of line it's about the rule of law and don't stick your neck out even more than western countries because the police forces here have a real fetish for upholding the iron rule of law

e) don't start labelling me based one anecdote, come and have a beer with me first and see where I'm really coming from.. I've got even worse ones to share that make everyone in a prefecture a thousand kilometres away eye you badly --
Using Osquery for Complete Software Inventory
This is not the only issue with LGPL code, but fair enough: commercial development is possible without paying for the license.
I'm always shocked when I consider the cost of these things. Each newspaper provides a relatively tiny amount of differentiated content and then each of them want more than a netflix subscription a month? How in the hell do those costs compare?

It then requires companies to allow users to set limits on their own daily use, automatically set defaults, and regularly notify users of their continued use.

A 30 mile journey in most of Europe isn't the same as a 30 mile journey in the US. There's a saying - Americans think 100 years is a long time, and Europeans think 100 miles is a long way.

A 60 mile round trip is probably about the longest daily commute you could manage in many parts of Europe
Human pose estimation on images for iOS using CoreML
It also relegates other browsers to the domain of "that's too technical I don't know what all those letters mean".
My old clothes don't fit
Then, typical internet users were secretary level office workers, mostly just trained on the job how to use MS Office. Still, it worked, for the most part.

(There was a learning process. In the early days, there was reoccurring theme with clients and new websites, which were also their first intense exposure to the web, where first as much as possible pages had to open in a new window -- "I don't want my page to go away" -- followed by the moment, the client learned the back button and asked, why it wasn't working with those links.)

Regarding big names hoisted to TLDs: They are free to buy one, if they care. (For those big names, it's a small investment.) Otherwise, who is to decide, who is big enough and who just fails the test? Is this discriminatory, may it even hurt a viable interest? Is this still net-neutral? And, ultimately, I'm not sure, if single-word host names weren't rather apt to add to the confusion. (Autocompletion works just fine for this, anyway.)
Can you name three examples of using infinite scrolling where it's a better idea, usability-wise, to pagination?
> I don't think the cost of fuel for a classic car will be a huge issue even if it is very high (10x of todays cost).

Not sure about that.

Let's consider a generic classic car that delivers 25 miles per (UK Imperial) gallon, which is 5.5 miles per liter of petrol. At the moment, petrol is ~1.3-1.5 EUR/liter in central Europe.

Taking a mean of 1.4 EUR/L, that's ~25 cents/mile, or 4 miles/EUR. A 200 mile trip (say, a weekend away) would cost ~51 EUR - not too bad. 3000 miles in a year would cost ~764 EUR.

---

Now, consider 10x the cost. 510 EUR in fuel, just for a weekend away? 7640 EUR for a year's occasional cruising around? Accepted that's no problem for the super-rich, but it starts to be punitive for a hobbyist owner. What about if you're into American classics that deliver 10 MPG?

Further, with that cost for fuel, the economics of a conversion make a lot more sense, before you even consider other possible incentives.
> it's just like your opinion man. not showing redundant information is good.

The host name is not redundant information.

> if you disagree where's your rant about browsers lying about port 80 by not showing it?

Why should I write idiotic rants?

> if your point is that www.name.com can be different site from name.com - i disagree even more, this is a case of incompetent developers at name.com so redirect your rage accordingly :)

Well, great that you disagree. Now, please do the work of changing the relevant standards instead of making yourself look like an idiot by calling people who read and follow standards "incompetent developers".

> they'll do it eventually, doesn't mean browsers shouldn't be getting rid of redundancy.

Which is not the topic of this disucssion.
Lazarus does use static linking for its own libraries and the license allows that. Yes you can do the same with other languages, but this was just a single feature among others, i'm not presenting every single one of them in isolation in a way where if you can find other languages/environments invalidate everything else, i'm presenting these features as a whole. If anything the self-contained part is a minor feature (and not universally available, it really depends on the backend, though for most OSes you can use one that has no external requirements).

Lazarus being much easier to use than the first two while requiring minimal resources and providing an advanced yet lightweight IDE (among other stuff) are more important IMO.
What about scouting? You could have a rule, that you are informed about the pieces in the vicinity. Perhaps even have different view distance for different pieces. Or only reveal the existence but not the type of a piece for longer distances and then type when closer.
He's a mad genius! I like his compiler that generates executables made up only of printable characters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA_DrBwkiJA / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16312317

Opponents of aiding the poor in ways that might cost money assert this kind of thing.

There are multiple issues woven in here, but one of the most basic is the concept of moral or metric based economics in which money flows toward those who are virtuous and work hard. To tax them or use some of that money is seen as stealing from the virtuous and limiting the total virtue of society.

This belief is in stark contrast to the verifiable function of aid as social stimulus. First of all, when the virtuous rich get incrementally more money they tend to save it because they don't really need it. This takes the money out of circulation, at least for a time. On the other hand the poor and middle class tend to immediately spend most of their money on strategic goods like education for their children. This not only puts the money back into circulation but also enables elites to capture a small amount of every transaction.

The important thing to take away is that social constructions like money and economies are not inherently connected to morality or reasonable metrics and really need to be thoroughly inspected and managed in order to get results that may correspond to some moral or metric projections.
That is one bad thing about living in the middle of a city, the supermarkets are small,
too busy and overpriced.
If I want to go to facebook, all I need to write in the address bar is "facebook.com", but the displayed address is "https://www.facebook.com/". A naive user would believe that they need to write the entire "https://www.facebook.com/" instead of just the short version to navigate to facebook, which is too cumbersome for them so they just use google search to find it instead.
The yakuza is still alive and well.[1] They keep a lower profile now than during Japan's boom times, much like the mafia in the US today. I dunno about MS-13 per se, but I've definitely run into an outsized share of sketchy central and south American immigrants in nightclubs in Osaka. A Canadian DJ friend of mine (long-time Osaka resident, like 10+ years) cautioned me to avoid them. They had a reputation for violence, stabbings, etc...

[1]NSFW Google search: "site:tokyoreporter.com yakuza". TokyoReporter is my favorite English-language Japan news source; they cover all the seedy shit like ex-porn stars getting busted for drugs.
>But anti-belief is scientific if the belief for something requires a complete overturning of scientific principles. It's not just an absence of evidence for something. It isn't "open minded" to say "could be..." to Bigfoot, Nessie, or the like -- it's closed minded because to even consider the idea seriously is to think that ecologists and population geneticists have no idea what the minimum habitat of a large animal is or of the minimum viable population size is.

That doesn't make sense. What you're saying is that "It's closed minded not to have blind faith in a faceless group of people who get to dictate what you can and cannot say."
Reads like folks at Chrome are just making work to have work because the senior leadership has no vision. Needs to be addressed before they burn through the goodwill they’ve built up.

True. A number I've heard for Teslas is 4.4 mile per kwh. So, a 150km is about 100000 miles (nice round number) and lets round down the milage to 4. So we are talking 25000 kwh. It depends on where you get your power of course or whether you have your own solar panels but at 10 cents per kwh that would be 2500$

So about half the price. That would be on the expensive side and things get more interesting if you have access to cheaper sources of energy. E.g. bids for solar power plants are below 2 cents now so that cuts it down to about 500$.
Arguably, advertising is one of the bigger problems of our time, and it indirectly contributes to the usual suspects (global warming, social unrest).

So the British are not permitted their own identity now?

Both Dresden and the famine you cite are debatable.

But anyway you are mistaken if you think I am advocating. I'm not. I am observing/speculating that I think many people that voted leave looked at the economic arguments and rated those lower than intangible feelings about identity etc. I don't think this is controversial! Politicians everywhere even when they make economic arguments couch them in emotional terms in order to sell them. It's standard politics.
Is AI as good at Kriegspiel as it is at regular chess?

Is there a Go equivalent? If so, is AI any good at that?

And, if either answer is no: then why did DeepMind go straight to trying to solve a game that was both incomplete-information and realtime (Starcraft) instead of merely incomplete-information (Kriegspiel)?
Who really cares about 500mb on a laptop?
The issue about trade is that non-colonizing countries in Europe traded with colonies and their colonizers, benefiting from the alleged exploitation.

And indeed, Mexico is gaining ground on the US, not least because of bilateral trade and bilateral migration.
They also made a checkbox to not hide it.
Banning autoplay altogether will be the only solution to the problem. Then an opt-in setting can be baked into browsers to allow certain sites to use audio/video features. That way all sites will be treated the same. News sites can always claim to be video playing sites like YouTube, just to be included in the exceptin list.
From their description it seems like the social aspect of it was a huge part of the experience
You fail to appreciate how angry I get over fancy UI failures :P I'd say execution should be on the table when someone decides to implement infinite scroll. But that's just me.

But theres another comment of mine, I say it's the same rationale of banning cigarette ads instead of cigarettes. Which has worked very well for dropping smoking rates from like 50% of the population to now around 14% and still dropping.
I highly doubt that showing something like "There are X new great posts from blah blah blah, check them out" instead of using infinite scroll will resolve the problem. At the end of the day one could simply load a million posts (probably needs some code/data optimizations but we are talking here about billion dollar companies) and now it is a finite scroll (EDIT: seems that the bill addresses this case).
Have you noticed any issues with XWayland aside from the DPI scaling? I find it pretty seamless on a standard-DPI (or a little higher) monitor.
Not to tell people "if you don't like it, leave".
I just did a long drive using my BMW i3 2018 (94Ah), where the majority was done at 100-110km/h. Based on the battery range estimation of the car, we "lost" about 20% range driving at such speeds.
That is pretty shallow. There is a loud subset of the Libertarian party that mostly focuses on the desire for minimal taxation. There is also a substantial subset of Libertarians who advocate for a Universal Basic Income in order to make society itself more fair. This does not necessarily change the idea that slackers choose and deserve their fate, but merely provides people with more opportunity to live for themselves.
Seriously? Almost every photographer I know switched to Fuji or Sony.
"They claim their labours are to build a heaven yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. A clock without a craftsman. It's too late. Always has been, always will be…too late." ― Alan Moore, Watchmen

Sigh. Many new comers to web development learn by observing, this will take that away. Www and https handling requires explicit configuration. Unless the intent is to not let people type in www or http, but what happens when they do and it’s not handled correctly?
On Horror and Philosophy
There seems to be an opportunity here for platform vendors like Microsoft or Apple to be a bit more aggressive about "this application is what's slowing you down" notifications. (With the ability for the user to say "yes, I'm editing a 4-hour movie, don't warn me about this app again".)

Don't Apple already do something similar for battery hogs? May be misremembering, but I'd have thought a similar principle applied.

Half the challenge of course would be dissuading the vendor from excluding their own apps from these notifications.
Right! This is a bizarre statement. Even HTTP is moving to UDP in HTTPv3. Why would I want even more TCP?
The professor who wrote this is Jean Gallier, and I had him for advanced linear algebra at Penn. I am also pretty close to him in so far as a student can be close to a professor. On a personal note, he is one of the funniest professor I've had, and all math professors are characters.

For the people who are interested in ML, the thing to remember here is that he is a Serious mathematician, and he values rigor and in-depth understanding above all. A lot of his three star homework problems were basically impossible. He writes books first and foremost so he can understand things better. In math books, there's the book you first read when you don't understand something, then the book you read when you understand everything. This is book in the link.

> Hm, hiding the protocol and the host part in the address – what next, hiding the domain? However, the path is hidden already, what's left then?

You're right! Google and Cloudflare are already jointly destroying the meaning of URLs through their "AMP real URLs" specification which allows any AMP gateway to impersonate a host, guaranteeing authenticity of the content through public-key cryptography.

These changes to the fundamental bricks of the web are not without consequences. They are deliberate attacks on a free and neutral network of equal peers.
There's a difference in the politics, isn't there? At least looking at the surface, German response to dieselgate is "we'll get to the bottom of this", while US response to MCAS is "we'll retaliate against Airbus".
Suicidal ideation is one symptom of depression, but so is demotivation and lack of energy. It's well understood that this depression-induced demotivation is a key factor in keeping depressive people from acting on their suicidal thoughts.

It naturally follows that there is a risk factor with starting on antidepressants — because antidepressants might work for you in a way that helps you with your motivation issues before they do anything about your suicidal thoughts, you are at a heightened suicide risk immediately after starting on antidepressants.

It could very well be the case that this is the exact opposite effect — on discontinuation, you could have the suicidal ideation symptoms come back before demotivation does.
That's bullshit IMO, people learn all sorts of complicated stuff in video games through embedded tutorials. There's no reason a browser couldn't do the same thing.
Hi, it's a little different than what you described. We download all of the front-end code and mock the back-end responses. We let the user interact with the app as if it's really working.

Yes, it is! You cannot allow games-in-progress to be viewed (to prevent cheating). So how can you allow a team to be all viewing the same side of the board and prevent spies? I haven't figured out that solution yet.
This is such a boring argument that both enforces gatekeeping, and lacks any idealism about the future of our industry.

Perhaps CPU speed/memory is not quite there yet for Electron to be viable in most projects, but nobody is taking away your ability to fiddle bits. Why does it have to be one or the other?

A JS developer can get access to writing their first 'native' client. If it is too slow, perhaps she will investigate a more memory efficient way. Or perhaps its good enough for the current use case.

Some paradigms will be dead ends, but experimenting with higher level languages and libraries is what moves us forward.

It's equivalent to kicking and screaming in the late eighties that this 'Python' is not efficient and a waste of time.
These are mechanisms, not speech. Huge difference.
Perhaps the author has only worked on simple, predictable outcome, projects but in my experience (personal and in generally observing our industry) failure and restarts are often the path forward to success.

I lived through the period of AI in the 1980s, have been a vendor of expert system tools for Lisp machines and the Apple Macintosh, and when MCC was being founded the founder Admiral Bobby Inman gave me a tour of the place.

I also joke about the outlandish claims and thought the AI winters were well deserved but I also believe that the state of our field and business now is very good and those rough times in the 1980s and 1990s are what helped get us to where we are today.
Courts have a variety of legal theories available. They can pick and choose from textualism, original meaning, original intent, evolving meanings/living constitution, stare decisis, or common law jurisprudence (i.e. law made up by judges) to get the result they want or believe should be the law.
