I do think it would be nice to see this kind of accounting taught in high schools.
I mean, it's not like it's empty space in there. Looking at the insides of an iPhone X, it's clear that something would have to give to make room for a new and quite sizeable connector: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+X+Teardown/98975#s182...

In any case, I fundamentally agree that it's not worth the tradeoff; I use an iPhone 5S and find it perfectly serviceable (and charmingly small and light). But some people do value those things, and/or only use wireless headphones or headphones with a single device.
But the abuse only becomes a problem when a monopoly creates a lack of alternatives for consumers or suppliers. Amazon sellers have a plethora of other retailers who they can use to reach customers if they don't like Amazon's behavior. Netscape had no such options.

I'm going to change up the countries so there's less emotional value associated.

Why should Polish people leave their country so they can find work in England? In theory, countries should be self-sufficient enough to where only niche based jobs should have such movement. I'm talking about highly specialized stuff. But when it comes to generic labor, why? Farming? Building houses? The fact people want to leave one country for another just for basic jobs is kind of messed up. I feel both countries are to blame forcing people to leave their homeland. One needs to get their fucking shit together and/or quit punishing a demographic because said gov wants to become a more service oriented country, the other country needs to stop creating incentives for such actions to become easily profitable on a large scale basis.

Countries need to be self-sufficient with their own population. One population sacrificing its people for the good of another is not sustainable, no matter how you slice or dice it.
So what happens at the very first boot (e.g. after system installation, or cloud instance just being spawned)? Is that the only circumstance where it would be OK to block? Does OpenBSD trust RdRand for such occasions?
I have a bunch of old camera gear that I'd like to sell. I've been led to believe that on eBay, I'll very likely get scammed, and the customer support always sides with the scammer.

This doesn't concern the massive drop shippers operating 10k transactions per month, as they can easily eat the cost of the occasional scammer. It is very effective deterrent against casual sellers like me, though.

Ebay started out as "Yard sales, except on the internet", and nowadays it's more like Ali Express.
I always thought it was because each time unit's size is a function of percentage of the total time experienced.

In other words, a 2 month summer is a significantly larger percentage of the overall lifetime of a 5 year old as compared to the very small percentage those same 2 months represent for a 90 year old.

Likewise in the formative years, you are constantly experiencing and learning new things. So the number of "aha" moments one would remember get fewer and farther between as one matures. By the time you're old and wise, you've seen just about everything and it takes more effort to have a memorable "aha" moment.

Together, in youth you have a very large percentage of your life's time, along with a whole lot more novel experiences makes looking back at the time feel much longer than currently experienced.
How? His boxes are running at 100%.
He might be able save some money by switching to hosted db and maybe run his webservers serverless (and creating some keep-alive triggers).

Nontrivial cost reduction would be switching to a different host instead of aws.
Well that is the whole premise of this grant.

> Just based on iPhone sales it doesn’t look like many people actually care, but those who do, boy are they vocal about it.

Hmm... You mean how iPhone sales have platued in the 3 years since this change was introduced or do you mean how 2016, the year they got rid of the headphone jack, was the first year in the history of the iPhone where sales decreased? I am not really seeing your point. (These numbers are primarily due to changes in the broader market)

I have lived with no headphone jack and done the dance with Bluetooth dongles and wireless headphones. Even if you avoid the pairing issues, battery is consistently an issue. Making sure that the various dongles are charged when you need them is adding unnecesary cognitive load.

Professionalism, at least to me, implies both competence and tact. Its nice knowing that they're capable of offering services but its also nice knowing that if/when things go wrong whether by my own mistake or not, I will be treated respectfully. What those quotes of their ToS tell me is that they're willing to belittle clients on their perceived take on events.

The short explanation is that if shit goes wrong I don't want to deal with people who figure communication among clients should be handled that way.

"Free" is also a very psychologically special price. Micropayments would make it easier to get over the energy barrier to paying for something, but it's still there. Laboratory experiments (and real-world experience) show that people value the difference between a price of 1 cent and 0 cents much more than the difference between 1 cent and 2 cents.
That's not a typo. They are two different sentences with slightly different meaning.

Access as a noun or access as a verb.
That is the total amount removed from the aquifer. The article states that the amount taken from Northern Florida needs to be reduced by at least 50% in order to return to previous water levels. 1Mg/day represents .027% of the 3640Mg/day from the entire aquifer. I'm sure it represents a substantially larger percentage from the North Florida section.

Edit: It's 1Mg/day not 100Mg/day. Changed above.
Shouldn't we all have seamless micropayments by now?

No problem, LanguageClient-neovim can be a bit overwhelming at first and if you are like me, you might need to rely on the included docs and GitHub issues, but it is well worth it. I am in my spare time working on getting floating window documentation working for completion items once that is done, I will have no need to keep coc.vim installed as backup.
In this case, "tuning for latency over throughput" means "not having a generational GC". Whether this choice makes sense does not depend on how much a program allocates. Rather, it depends on whether the generational hypothesis holds. The generational hypothesis is one of the most powerful and consistent observations in the entire CS field. It certainly holds for .NET, which has a very similar memory model to that of Go, and therefore .NET has a generational garbage collector.
I liked Coinhive but despised that 99% used it for malevolent things. I do like the idea of letting my computer do some proof of work for a few seconds to unlock an article. It's like doing a micro payment with your electricity bill, anonymously and without any setup.
With bottled water companies, I think people hate the plastic waste more than the water use.. so there's two reasons to go after them. Plastic bottles are the only things a bottled water company actually produces.
You are correct. Locks keep honest people honest.
Regardless, they are making money on this extraction and the state isn’t getting direct compensation. It doesn’t need to be exorbitant but it should be more than a nominal amount. There should be some volume dependence. It should be whatever the commercial water rate is.

It’s also not only a FL problem. Nestle has similar contracts with other states too.
I love this. I haven't found many articles comparing and contrasting languages this way, and I really appreciate it.
Well, they suggest it in the title as well, so it appears like they find it important.

It’s also hella confusing because there’s not a marketing or real protocol name attached beyond the “5G” moniker, at least not that I could easily find.

I can name GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA, 1xRTT, EVDO, WiMAX, and LTE off the top of my head and tell you what “G” they are associated with (1, 2, 3, 3.5, 2, 3, 4, 4 respectively).

5G is a vaporous term with no real definition right now other than “whatever the fuck the ITU has decided to call 5G”.

EDIT: I guess they’re calling the air interface “5G NR (New Radio)”. How memorable. Guess with everyone finally getting on the same page with LTE in the current generation they felt no need to come up with a real name.
>Up to three years of testing have been completed for some of the tests. Tests include long-term charge-discharge cycling at 20, 40, and 55°C, long-term storage at 20, 40, and 55°C, and high precision coulometry at 40°C. Several different electrolytes are considered in this LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2/graphite chemistry, including those that can promote fast charging.
For wafer from an aquifer, uncertain. For water from the Great Lakes, because bottled water is shipped outside of the Great Lakes watershed, and therefore does not return to the Great Lakes.

If there's ever a collective lawsuit for the excess carbon footprints produced, there will be hell to pay, and the people getting rich off of pushing externalities to their communities today will be the same ones serving life sentences tomorrow.
Just wanted to add another reason not to use serverless, or at least AWS. For small projects I would rather experience downtime than big invoice. I had a project running on AWS, but it turns out you can't limit the budget, the best you can do is make alerts when costs exceed some limits. I have now moved the project to old-skool server and sleep much better since.
How do you feel about using a dynamically typed language like Python for all your backend code? Whenever I had a codebase that grew past several thousand LOC it became pretty unwieldy pretty quickly for me personally. I'm curious if there's a conscious tradeoff for people using Python/Django to start because it's really fast to get up and running with (for existing or new devs).
Congrats Stefan & team!!!

Very curious to see how this will shape up.

Would you say this directly competes with Brendan Eich's BAT token in Brave? Yes/no? How so?

I've also been working on figuring out some mathematical models for economically evaluating digital goods (intro here https://hackernoon.com/wealth-a-new-era-of-economics-ce8acd7... ), would love to discuss various web/open-source centric economics ideas with people!
Australia has the Telstra "4GX" and Optus "4G plus" networks - it's AU 4G with its own spectrum and band aggregation.

I have seen gigabit speeds on 4GX - once, when it was new and the spectrum was hardly used.

Since the reports are quoting real world maximums, I'm sure that number is true - but doesn't reflect your average experience.
Well true, I don't know enough about tracking to say for sure, but I'm much more likely to trust a website if they don't obfuscate the options to turn off tracking.
This is pretty cool my biggest problem with micropayments is friction when browsing and friction for managing subscriptions. Integrating it into the browser should make it much more automatic.

It’s kind of a chicken and egg problem where publishers wont benefit until readers have it and vice versa. I hope this grant results in a killer app that generates some critical mass for the standard.

It will be, but it not that hard to guess the major themes, depending on who is in the driver seat when it hits.
I see a lot of Parse comparisons, but for me this is way more like Force.com from Salesforce and the Apex language.

Proprietary language (Apex, which is Java 6-ish), complete vertical integration, no open source spec or implementation.
It must be nice to pay $115/year to get a million gallons of water per day. This is a significantly better deal than we're getting under JEA, our single available utility company here in our area of Jacksonville.

Our water bills include a $30/month connection fee for tap water, a $30/month connection fee for reclaimed water (lawn and yard), $15/month for sewer, and a tiered water system that puts you in the $250+/month (total) range to water a relatively standard size lot plus provide water for a family of 3.

If our HOA didn't prohibit it, I'd drill a well.

This could certainly benefit from a heavier tax, considering their 91.4B in revenue
Emulating sums with interfaces isn't the worst but proper sums with exhaustive checking make it way easier for the consumers of your code to also perform matches in a maintainable way. When I emulate sums, I keep the matching internal and at best I expose a function that is the equivalent of an exhaustive match (which takes a function per case)

I've never run into finalizer issues (or finalizers at all really) in Haskell but I'm sure they exist. What libraries in particular used finalizers that you had issues with? In general though I find resource management much easier in Haskell thanks to bracket, ResourceT, and the (imo very good!) exception handling stuff. Async exceptions in particular are a surprisingly nice feature when combined with threading!

The biggest place lack of parametric polymorphism hurts is in concurrency. I have to hand-roll so much concurrency in Go and I don't really have a good option for abstracting over various patterns.

> I'm going to continue using both Go and Haskell, I'm happy with both.

Yeah same here. I'm glad to have them both in my toolkit.
It can include decoupling, but no it's not synonymous.
hi - lead dev of the library. there are a multitude of benchmarks in `MathSharp/samples/MathSharp.Interactive/Benchmarks`, I just haven't been able to put them into the seperate project because of personal time constraints so far
You have described exactly the kind if work/life balance i desire! I do enjoy a lot working alone since i've got family with little children too. I won't add any value with my comment, i just wanted to thank you since it feels just a little bit easier to know somebody else is having what i want: one day i may have it too.
I had a chance to sit down with Ellen, one of the co-founders, and see an earlier beta. Congratulations to the entire team on this milestone; excited to see what you have in store. For context, I used to run a consulting company where I shipped a lot of greenfield software, especially CRUD MVP apps (which I think is a segment you're targeting). So I love folks trying to make this kind of work easier.

I'm curious who you see your audience as. If you look at a spectrum across skill level:

* On the far left you'll have those learning: univ students, boot camper's, technical folks in non-eng jobs (think operations-y people who are zapier+spreadsheet wizards).

* In the middle you'll have junior engineers starting their first or second role.

* On the far right, you'll have senior engineers who are looking at factors beyond functionality like architecture, style, performance, etc.

I think the middle is out. These are folks who've made an investment in their education and are looking to apply it. They're looking to earn their stripes and might trade efficiency for that. There's also secondary effects of using the incumbents like membership into a community (I run the SF Django meetup so I see this up and close).

The far right is out because DL is hiding the complexity they're precisely interested in tailoring (or at the very least, having the optionality to in the future). Additionally, they're very fast at the operations you've optimized for (CRUD) so that's not necessarily a barrier for them. They'll be working with boilerplates that are deployment ready (though not instant like y'all - that's pretty cool!). Yes there's some pain here you're solving. Not enough to justify the switching costs, IMO.

I think that leaves you with the beginner crowd. Zooming in further, I'd exclude students since there is no value for them to invest in something they wouldn't get hired for. There's the casual indiehacker / weekend project person. I think this would work fantastically for them because they just want to spin something up as fast as possible. There's also the operations person who does a lot of ducktaping of airtable+zapier+typeform+etc. I know many people who are doing that and when they hit a ceiling, this could be perfect.

I'm arriving to the following conclusion: though you're not a no-code tool, you share the same target audience. Repl.it is a good comparison here.
I have a niche e-commerce business I run mostly for fun, although it does make a decent profit vs. the time I put into it. I originally had woocommerce, a paid theme, digital ocean, MySQL, backups, stripe integration, etc. and honestly it was a hassle. I switched everything and now pay Shopify my $30 per month and don’t even think about it. $360 per year is pocket change vs. my stress level.
I don't know about the political reason but the logical reason is that piped water users generally end up putting that water back into Northern Florida, either the ground or the air.
yep, the JIT fully removes those checks when native code gen occurs :)
It’s not difficult to imagine that criminals wised up from the revelations of Edward Snowden. It’s not difficult to imagine that such data would be highly classified despite the programs’ existence being disclosed by Edward Snowden. If that’s the case, then a secret military trial is justified.
This should be multiple life sentences. One for the official that allows this to happen and one for the company CEO themselves. Once you make the top responsible, people will finally stop pulling this shit.

For the money Nestle makes, they can afford to pull water from the ocean and do full desalinization.
Sadism to you is absurd humor to an Almighty Creator.

You don't have to freeze coffee to save time, though. Today, just about (?) any cheap coffee maker comes with an automatic pause function meaning you can pour yourself some coffee right in the middle of brewing it if you're in a hurry.
Hijacking the joke comment to plug Dark a little bit. Data migrations and schema changes are hard (especially when you want to test on a subset of users), and Parse only avoided a lot of this pain because it was typically used for relatively simple-schema'd projects. Dark seems to have done the hard work of making an entire language and environment to avoid footguns and provide more-or-less seamless data migrations, schema versioning, and gradual feature-flagged rollout. I haven't been able to try it yet but desperately want to!
> The difference here is that Snowden was acting as a whistleblower in the interest of the public good,

Then lets get a fair, and impartial, jury and see whether or not the Jury is willing to conclude on this fact.

A tildeverse-builder named Mike Buchholz (info@retrodigital.net) offered to take over http://tilde.club AND the backlog of 10,000+ people who asked for accounts. I said, that would be a blessing!

If you had an account, it still works. If you asked, they'll be in touch.

I've had the strange experience, since Mike asked to take on this responsibility, of learning that http://tilde.club kicked off a scene called the tildeverse, with many sites, servers, and its own github. https://tildeverse.org

I wasn't aware that it had self-organized to this degree. Mostly I've felt guilty about http://tilde.club , which grew so fast and with so much interest that it needed a lot of time and love that I could not provide. It's great to see it was a spark for so many new things.
