Fortunately you can undo that in firefox (separate boxes -- ctrl-l for location, ctrl-k for search, and disable the "search if not a url" option), but it's not the default, and that leads to more and more people using bing to search for google to then search for facebook, as they have no concept of the idea of a URL (or indeed a program, a file or a directory) :(
It depends on the state, as a number of states have "safe on red" laws for motorcycles.

In the case of Virginia, motorcycles and bicycles can proceed through the red light after the light cycles twice (skipping their lane) or two minutes. They still have to stop. They still have to yield the right of way.

Could be possible if electron was only used for the GUI, and the core of your app would be a C++ chromium widgets. Do it!

I've read a tutorial that creates a small desktop application using nw.js and vue, and the package size was 233 mb. This made me decide to use Electron after all.

That Electron fad will eventually die as HTA and XUL did before it.

With my Web developer hat, I see the future as PWAs and if you really need more than Web APIs allow, by all means create a local daemon that uses whatever browser the user has installed.

All my uses of Electron are forced upon me, if native versions are available and I am allowed to choose, native wins.
This is true for the Warhmammer/Minis hobbyists, but I'm looking for a regular meetup of 'Greybeards' who have grown up with computing over the past 40 years, like I have.

The BBC is notoriously biased against Brexit.
You can't compare total annual industry investment to a single manufacturer project cost. JLR are not going to be investing £1bn in a single year; and they've just been handed a £500M loan guarantee - if stuff doesn't work out, the taxpayer will be holding a significant chunk of the bag.

You can certainly argue that Brexit isn't the sole cause, but it's definitely a large factor. While the overall market for cars is declining, the switch from ICE to electric should actually stoke demand. Some of the most productive car manufacturing plants in the EU are located in the UK and either being closed or are in danger of closing; if Brexit played no part then it would make no fiscal sense to close British plants.
serious, I never understood why a company must steadily grow, isn't that in contrast to the limited economical resources we have globally?
Can anybody explain why electron includes all off

* chromium

* node.js

* v8
?

To my understanding chromium includes V8, and node.js is built on top of it.
Amphetamine, for one. Levoamphetamine or dextroamphetamine provide two different physiological experiences (think coffee vs meth). The effects profile of racemic amphetamine is markedly different and much easier to handle physiologically than just dextroamphetamine by itself (the most common isomer found in amphetamine prescription products).

From a perspective of safety, I don't have any reason to suspect esketamine to be any worse. However from a psychological perspective, we could be talking pretty big differences in some individuals where subtle changes in behavior or thought can have cascading effects on mood.

But... that's why we're testing its efficacy, right? It's stupid not to try, and these test subjects are willing. One of the two isomers will be better in some categories. Could be that both together are the way to go. Having only encountered racemic ketamine I can definitely understand its uses in treating depression.
Those patents tell an interesting tale, and one not terribly flattering to the University of California. It looks like back in 2006 they invented and patented a variant of the old-fashioned clear domed LED which uses total internal reflection to redirect the light emitted from the rear of the LED out the front, rather than the reflective metal anvil they usually use. This is obviously not a filament LED. The only thing it has in common is that some filament LEDs put the dies on a transparent substrate, though for the purpose of emitting light out the backside of the filament rather than the front. However, they managed to get a set of claims in the '789 patent so broad that it covered all constructions that emit light out the backside of the LED. (The other three patents were filed after filament LEDs became widespread, claiming priority to earlier patents.)
Does anyone else have a turnkey system like this? From here it looks like they are the only player in the field, at least for a little while. It looks like a product that can be directly sold to federal, state and municipal organizations around the world. Perhaps even to for-profit investment funds. Or high energy consumption industries like aluminum switching to solar or wind production. A product on the market that you can buy, rather than a technology you need to build something with.

The core problem at hand is FPTP and the Electoral College. The presidential election is decided in the swing states and with the current system the centrist Democrats do have a point - even if the hardcore Democrat states love Sanders or Warren, their landslide victories in these states won't help anything if all the swing states go Republican.

America needs two periods with Democrats: the first one won with/by centrists, who then fix up the electoral system issues (gerrymandering, FPTP, voter suppression, campaign financing) and the second period where the left wing fixes the societal issues (income/wealth inequality, healthcare, "free speech" allowing people to walk with Swastikas).
An Italian friend of mine told me that Fiat group and Eni, the oil and gas company, lobbied hard against this and any other electrification efforts in the country.

Could this be the reason?

As a Fiat owner, I feel disgusted, but while they do make decent ICE cars, they have been worringly absent from the electric-car stage.
I guess Brexit is a great blame if you want to close a factory.

Even-though, after-Brexit UK won't be part of the EU. A UK factory will export cars to the EU with mandatory customs fee and taxes. If your cars have to clear customs anyway why not build them in Ukraine?
We don’t have limited economical resources globally.

Or they might not have the bandwidth to deal with n different builds. I've written UIs in native motif, x, mfc, Android, and iOS, but with modern HTML & CSS (especially in the last couple years with flexbox, grid, canvas, svg support) and TypeScript it seems like there's new goodness daily.

That said, I'd love a divorce from Electron if something else would give me a system tray, node runtime, and seamless upgrades, supported cross-platform.

Apple did this a while ago. Safari only shows the domain and the lock icon, nothing else.

I get the discussion about Google changing the web to something that pleases their pockets over everything else, but I am not so sure whether that's the actual motivation in this case. Non-technical users can't do a lot with the rest of the URL anyway and even I as a technical user didn't mind Safari hiding the path and scheme up to now.
Given the React Native for Windows talk at BUILD 2019, and their comparisation how it beats Electron, how Office and other teams are now adopting it, I still hope VSCode will eventually join the party.

They even did a nice graphic.

With UWP C++ being the reference point of 100%, UWP C# gets also 100% (thanks .NET Native), React Native 180% and Electron goes sky high above 700%!

This is how much everyone doing Electron apps is contributing to global warming, including VSCode team.
The two things (brexit and sector problems) compound.

Without Brexit, a sector crisis might have resulted in one company closing a UK plant and another closing a plant elsewhere, weighting specific pros and cons case-by-case.

With Brexit, they both close a UK plant, because it’s now a no-brainer. The UK after Brexit will have high labor costs AND high tariffs on goods’ movement. There is almost no reason to manufacture here.

Brexit is a massive hole in the UK appeal for manufacturing that targets the EU market. This is a hard fact. Everything else is wishful thinking.
>I’m also sure that lots of folks don’t truly understand blue collar working conditions in other industries.

I do agree with this. I briefly had a few blue collar jobs: it's hard for workers to assert their existing rights, culturally and legally.
Alternatives that are supported cross platform? That’s the only reason I would potentially consider Electron.
(a) 2017 and 2018 were also post-brexit-referendum years with investments getting pulled left and right

(b) The £1bn will be spread over many years, almost none of it this year.

(c) Low global car demand leads to reduced investment. The investments that get cut first are the ones where labour is already expensive, skilled labour is about to get much harder to get and supply chains are about to be screwed up massively. Guess where that is.

About Antarctica and colonization, yes, I agree it is not colonization, but then again it cannot be, since no-one can live permanently in Antarctica because of the treaties (ATS).

"Oil rig workers" or not, if people on Mars would live there until their old age and death, I'd call them colonists. If they are there on a 3 year rotation, then nope, not colonists.

(As a side note Antarctica would be the perfect place to learn about eventual self-sufficient space colonies in an environment which is a softer version of Mars, without complexities around airlocks, suits, oxygen and the omnipresent sand etc.)

Earth has limited and dwindling resources but Mars is still completely untapped. Then again I have no idea what could be so rare or useful to actually drive the colonization of Mars. I mean maybe something like that exists already, but I just don't have an idea.
+1. I would add that most humans are not stupid. They think the way they do for a reason. That reason could be emotional or cultural but really those are just other forms of information that can be truthful or be made to lie, just like misuse of logic or statistics.

There's guarantee that you will sympathize with someone, or that they will sympathize with you for that matter. But how are you going to find out how they think if you never have a conversation?

Edit: clarity
The alternative view is that this is the first reasonable and moderate cabinet since the referendum.

Consider that it's the first one which appears to be serious about actually doing what the government repeatedly said it would do, both before and after the vote. A government doing what it promised it would do is reasonable. It is led by a man who wants very much to reach an acceptable deal with the EU, but will leave without one if the EU makes it necessary. That's a reasonable and moderate position of the sort that millions of business leaders take every single day.

The previous cabinet had a position like this: we're saying we'll leave no matter what, but we're lying because we definitely won't ever leave without a "deal" of some sort, which basically means the party we're negotiating with can propose whatever terms they like and we'll always accept them regardless of how terrible. Thus an "agreement" which is universally regarded as awful is presented as the only possible path forward, other than ignoring the biggest vote in British history. That's not at all a reasonable way to go about negotiations or politics. Nor is it even slightly moderate - "we must accept terrible terms or else we'll be destroyed" is an unusually extreme belief, of the sort usually held by countries which just lost a war.

Patel may have broken some ministerial code, and that's bad. But the former Prime Minister and her cabinet said 108 times the country would leave the EU on the deadline with or without a deal and they were lying every single time. The cabinets before that told voters they were committed to bringing down immigration, but after leaving government Osborne admitted the cabinet never believed in their stated goal, didn't want to do it and therefore just ignored it. That sort of blatant, knowing manipulation is far, far worse and completely destructive to trust in politics. Meeting Israelis without filing the right paperwork is trivial compared to it.

Some better grounding might help to start with, and - unusually - Wikipedia gives a pretty solid and tangible context to frame this in (With greater purpose and clarity than the article IMO):

> A Bayes filter is an algorithm used in computer science for calculating the probabilities of multiple beliefs to allow a robot to infer its position and orientation. Essentially, Bayes filters allow robots to continuously update their most likely position within a coordinate system, based on the most recently acquired sensor data. [...] In a simple example, a robot moving throughout a grid may have several different sensors that provide it with information about its surroundings. The robot may start out with certainty that it is at position (0,0). However, as it moves farther and farther from its original position, the robot has continuously less certainty about its position; using a Bayes filter, a probability can be assigned to the robot's belief about its current position

Understanding the basics of a secure connection and what possible consequences are is part of liability and being of sound mind. Teach them first, what it is and why it matters, to never engage in a critical communication without a verified secure connection as indicated by this and that signal. Facilitate users in asserting the mode of their electronic interactions. Then put an additional warning line on. But never replace the former by the latter. There is no "easy mode" when it comes to your livelihood.

And, if users are able to grasp these basics (and sure they are – heck, not that long ago drivers had to understand and to be able to describe the workings of a car engine and transmission in order to pass a drivers test), understanding why a basic connection has become unbearable, shouldn't be much of a problem.

When things turn ugly the weakest suffer the most. With the Brexit, hard or soft, the UK is positioning itself as a weaker country than it was inside the EU. If the car industry is going to suffer, it's going to suffer more in the UK than in the EU.
Obviously it could turn out that Brexit will be good for the UK, but IMHO not in the immediate future. It will take time.

> Audi said in a statement on Wednesday that it was in the interest of the company, its shareholders and employees to clarify the issues that led to the diesel crisis.

“Until this has happened, the presumption of innocence must prevail,” the spokesman said.

In this case, I don't see how the presumption of innocence can prevail. Let's not forget, this was not a manufacturing error, an oversight or some other engineering "mistake" which could be explained in a plausible way. Someone purposefully engineered a device and software, which had no other purpose than manipulating emission tests with the intent to create an unlawful advantage for the company. The idea, plan and execution of such a software could have only happened by some execs at Volkswagen and Audi. This is a clear criminal offense with clear intend and the only question is how many need to go into jail for this, not if someone should be jailed.

That they were available to everyone is obviously false, since it took a team of skilled bug hunters to find them. The only way to know that other actors were aware of the bugs if there were reports of active exploitation.

Were there?

In any case, the software industry has a nice racket going:

1. Get paid lots of money to develop broken software.

2. Get paid lots of money to find security holes.

3. Expect praise from us customers that version X+1 is still broken, but now in different ways.

When I started in a management role, I set out to make sure my team members were happy. As time goes on, oddly enough, you realise that happiness is not chief among the qualities that make for a well functioning team.

I found it is more about an equilibrium or balance.

People don't always have to be happy, they have to be motivated.
