Your question is very vague. What exactly do you mean by "the same results"? And which "alternative tools"? How do those tools provide "an alternative"?
Sure you do. Lots of projects are using compiled languages, even if the developers for whatever reason have decided to not write tests (lazy? lack of competence? decided tests wont benfit the project).

These projects too will benefit from a independent CI-service validating their commits.
> The fact that they include scrollbars on the document element

What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the surface taken by scrollbars is not removed from the viewport?

That would make sense on mobile devices as scrollbars are generally transient overlays, or when e.g. OSX is set up in that configuration (there's a system setting so native scrollbars can be either a transient overlay or a reserved area).
If we look at the UK grid, renewables currently supply about 30% of electricity. This headline [1] from 2014 shows less coal being burnt than the industrial revolution, coal in 2014 also made up 30% [2]. So essentially, in the UK we could power the industrial revolution with the renewables installed today, except we can probably do better because an electric motor is more efficient than a steam engine.

I'm using such a "sticky" footer for a lot of my projects. At first, I was fine with a simple flexbox solution. Then I've tested this layout in IE11 (because it is known to have a lot of flexbox bugs). I've fixed it, but then I've got issues with Safari. It was this article that finally helped me solve the issue for all important browsers.
Totally OT, but that reminds me of the first iPhone advertisements where they used exceptionally large hands to make the iPhone appear small. Quite funny if you think how smartphone sizes have developed since.

This 2007 blog article is hilarious from today's view:

Yes, it's definitely good to avoid accidentally snorting the unknown substance.
You're talking about 100s of millions of devices - I can see why Apple would prefer not.
Like people can reverse engineer things, but till there was a permanent exploit like this, I am sure the effort did not make as much sense. Like you first need an exploit that lets you load a non apple OS. Moreover you hope it effects enough devices that your efforts will be used by a lot people.
> Good school, healthcare and do actually matter, you know.

If you’re familiar with the behavior genetics literature, not really. Judith Rich Harris covers it in No Two Alike and Bryan Caplan does the same in Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids. Who one’s biological parents are matters enormously and after that as long as children aren’t abused they basically turn out like they’re going to turn out. Children who are adopted turn out about as similar to their adoptive siblings as to strangers and as similar to biological siblings as normal whether raised together or apart.

> So that the child has also middle class future.

Greg Clark’s work on social class persistence suggests that’s wasted effort. The heritability of social class is 0.7 in every society with records amenable to tracking lineages across generations, from Sweden, England, China, Korea and many other places. The only temporary exception was during the Cultural Revolution.

> Good school also eases out situation for parent, as bad school means the parent have to re-teach, have to work around bullying and social pressures on child to be bully or not learn.

Sympathetic as I am to the idea of schools for children who want to learn, where the unusually studious or intelligent would actually be challenged, crap schools have incredibly small effects on educational attainment, as do great ones.

Great schools are schools with great students, not great teachers. Teachers can have a temporary, marginal effect but the difference between a school where the average student is ... average, and one where you need to be in the top decile to be admitted is enormous. It’s almost all selection effects, not treatment effects.
Most of the time, yes. But the layout might jump just because you scroll up/down a little. For example, the spacings might get slightly larger when you scroll down and slightly smaller when you scroll up.
Could only find numbers from the EU, but there passenger cars account for ~18% of total CO2 emissions. Everybody else seems to report cars and trucks as one group so it's hard to estimate how much of that impact is cars.
Also they plan to land where there isn't any atmosphere, or an atmosphere too thin to brake significantly.

So they need propulsive landing.
My bet is on google. There's a _lot_ of kubernetes/gcloud integration going on with gitlab.
This book and for that matter the movie has reignited my enthusiasm about the smells.
Whenever I go out for shopping, I stop by a perfumery to try random perfumes. In time, I noticed that I can now identify some of the ingredients of the perfumes. I highly recommend this practice as it also teaches you to identify the quality of fruits/vegetables easily.
Dated a top F21 buyer for a few years and I can say that:

1) Prototype to street was way more than 3 weeks. More like 3 months (still faster than most fashion which makes buys 6 months ahead). Zara is the main large retailer that is actually about 1 month from concept to store.

2) The quality of their men's wear was pretty good for the price.

3) They worked their corporate employees to the bone and paid them 60-70% as much as other retailers for the same job. Girlfriend ended up doubling her pay upon accepting a role with another retailer. And on her last day, they still left her a pile of work that took until 5am to finish...Greedy and unprofessional.

4) Sad to see a whole lot of honest employees lose their jobs. Although the owners of F21 had a big fall coming given the amount of greed and indifference they expressed to employees

Well, I don't want to patronize nor be disrespectful but :

>>> frugal and minimalist lifestyle (no fancy car, no expensive holidays, no eating at restaurants etc)

This sounds like a very normal lifestyle to me. I have a "cheap" car (but have one nonetheless), I go to restaurants maybe 2 times a year (and not expensive ones; cooking myself is often much better), my holidays remains rather expensive though (around 1500 euros for the whole family).

Now, to make a joke : once you have kids, you don't have much time to enjoy a luxury car, expensive restaurants, or expensive holidays : all those little humans want is quality time with me (preferably, all my time) :-) You can also easily have cheap baby sitting in the form of a smart phone :-) (end of the joke)
> Why is it a great business and an initiative to be applauded if it is about excluding men and a scandal if it is about excluding women?

I suspect you probably know the reason (even if you disagree with it) and you're making a polemic point rather than genuinely asking this question.

If I'm mistaken then forgive me. In short - certain sectors have a very skewed gender bias and it's regarded as a good thing to try and correct for that.
From my own experience of living in Berlin as a foreigner, been living here for 4 and a half years:

- life cost is hiking up due to rent prices and a lot of people moving, rest is kind of cheap

- salaries vs. life cost is good, not as good as the US

- Germany is an overall good country, better than canada, but only if you want to adapt to their culture. Remember that outside of work, people generally speak german and act as a german.

- Hard to make friends here, but good if you are a bit antisocial or is married

- There is a lot of socialism here, like, if you have a kid, you get money and childcare is free(but hard to find).
Medicine cost also very cheap. I'm more libertarian/capitalist and find it annoying, but everything works well so I can't complain much.

- Get some insurances, for personal liability and for your place

- Finding an apartment can be hard: get a temporary furbished apartment first, live there for like 6 months meanwhile you look for a permanent place. This can be annoying, but once you are done with that, it is great!

- Learn german. Try to start learning from when you move in, because you will need it. Also, if you start learning early and constantly, you will be progressing. German is a very hard language to learn and you will need a lot of time to become fluent on it as you will be working full time. I've been learning little by little, while working full time and it is hard. But rewarding.

- Taxes are high but if you don't spend a lot you can save some money, disposable income is great.

- Parks are great

- Germans on average are much smarter than Americans or Canadians, they are more aware of what is going on. For me it's a big point as most Americans really lack even basic knowledge about geography and history, or philosophy. Even very successful/rich people in America are quite illiterate and I like talking with smart people.

- Meat in Germany is pretty bad and expensive, I became vegetarian a few years after I've moved here and don't regret it at all. I remember I would spend like 20 euro to get meat that I would consider "bad" with my Brazilian standards.

- Berlin has a lot of foreigners with different cultures, you will be able to learn from everyone something. I think on Canada you might not be able to have the same experience. I don't know how much you care about that.

I would rather live in Berlin than in Canada. Better than Berlin is possibly only the US, but the working permit there sucks(H1B). Here in Germany it is pretty good, even my wife can work. If you wanna come and live here for a long time(maybe forever or until you are retired, it is a good country).

I think if you don't wanna come to stick with it for a few decades, I think an english speaking country is better. People keep mentioning life cost(which is Berlin wins by a wide margin in comparison to Canada), but I think that culture and the mindset is also important. Please make sure you know that germans do not think like the canadians, no matter how international Berlin is, the overall mood is set by the germans. If you don't want to embrace their culture, you might have a hard time.
The thing is, a person "punching up" will inevitably found herself being "punched up" by someone else in future '_'
Because the goal may not be 'fair' for all individuals but instead 'equal' for groups of individuals, especially those who have been traditionally discriminated against.
TBF this can be integrated to a pure-git setup e.g. Python had buildbots (on mercurial but samesies) long before it moved to github or whatever.

Generally speaking you'd set up your own "synchronisation channel(s)" for such tools e.g. mailing lists.
Just because something is old or uses old framework or old standard doesn't make it crap. Crappy code is crap, but it age doesn't make it crap. Code doesn't rust or detoriarate by itself.

Example if you write good code now using C++14. If it's good code now it will continue to be good code 20 years later. There's no property that adds bugs or "crappiness" to the code as the years go past. The invention of a new "c++40" standard doesn't obsolete old code or turn it "crap".
second the other response. I've read a fair bit about and by Lenin and never heard of this poem. Care to share a link by chance?
Children used to be a help, because they could work much earlier and had to on farms. So it made economic sense to have them. The incentives have changed.
I can't speak for others, but I'm a white male and less than 98% of the people I know are other white males. This is also true when I limit myself to software developers (but to a lesser degree). It seems to me that reaching out to ones social network would be an improvement. At 98% white males there's not much you can do to make it worse.
Not sure whether you're disagreeing with the paper or the commenter's summary of it. As you could probably guess from the title of the paper, the goal is not a new "fully general" VM.

An analogy I sometimes use is pre-IP internetworking. If you wanted a new cross-network application, then of course you could in principle build application-layer gateways, but the economics simply didn't work. It took a carefully engineered "hourglass waist" to fix the economics. The goal is to create the equivalent for language implementations. And the whole point is that "one super-VM" is not the recipe.
This reminded me of the anecdote in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! where he had his wife pick a book from a shelf and return it without his watching then using smell alone successfully identified the book she had handled.
Or deployment.
Really cool little project; I'm cheered to see it.

There seem to be one or two people who are taking this as a serious idea. Stating the obvious; it is faster and cheaper for political parties to change their policies to things people will vote for. Nobody is an [Party X] because they were branded at birth.

The reason the margins are so close is because the politicians are purposefully doing just that, and it is knife-edge which does a better job. 2008 and 2012 represent colossal failures by the Republican party to campaign effectively/Obama was an election winning machine.
Maybe that used to be the case? For at least the last few VS Code updates, it's been entirely in-app. The update is downloaded in the background, and VS Code then prompts you to restart the app to apply the update.
Have you seen the Rothko in person? It is a large work with deep color that doesn’t reproduce in photos displayed on computer screens.

Too bad cranelift is written in a language which wasn't even invented when Go was announced ^^.
I think that 5% claim is dubious.

Almost certainly the top minds at spacex are focussed on starship, and the 5% number might only be kinda-true because starship is being built with a lot of contractors.
If Apple was primarily an algorithms company then yes, he'd have been a failure. Apple's relative disinterest in R&D during Jobs' tenure was quite legendary though. They were first and foremost a design company. Once they started trying to compete with Google on raw technology grounds like AI, mapping etc, they started to struggle much harder. They were always the strongest in the areas where Jobs can and did override his lieutenants sometimes.

The way Apple seemed to be constantly balancing over-design against engineering concerns seems like a case in point. Once Jobs was gone the consensus seems to be that Jony Ive became unrestrained and had nobody above him who could do what he did anymore, so he kind of went a bit wild and then disengaged.

I forget the details but vertical axis wind turbines are always less efficient than horizontal axis turbines. Off the top of my head I can't recall if the reason is that vertical axis turbines always have half of the rotor turning against the wind, but there is a basic reason I believe can be found on wikipedia.
Is Uniqlo fast fashion? Or cheap?
I was hoping for a number, like say 1%. I wish there was a website which shows you exactly what are the causes of global warming and how much they contribute to it, preferably by industry and country. For example a small country like Australia which has less than 1% of human population, contributes enormously (15% of methane due to animal husbandry) but there is very little being done in that country to control this.

Read Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, Bryan Caplan. Most people are glad to have been born, most parents raise happy, healthy children in the industrialized world and in substantial parts of the world outside it, most children would rather have happy parents who spend time with them than more stuff and while you can effect how happy their childhood is you aren’t going to greatly effect their adult outcomes if you parent within the good enough to be allowed to adopt norms.

The best start in life is a start.

The title is misleading: The Russian Federation had signed the Paris climate accord in 2016, and has only failed to ratify it. So, it's not "disbelief" but "dragging of feet".

It is annoying that a lot of US media has this kind of a anti-Russian vitriol in its phrasing and lacks basic professionalism in reporting.

In this case actually MEPs were told who to vote for by the Council. The Parliament was presented with a vote on who to run the Commission ... which had a single name on it. The only obtains were to vote for von der Leyen or not vote at all.

It's common for europhiles to describe this sort of process as democratic because the Council is made up of national leaders. Unfortunately there's a key detail that makes this step non-functional: Council meetings are held in secrecy. No minutes or voting records are published.

How was von der Leyen selected and why? Nobody knows outside of the national leaders themselves. And there are sadly good reasons to believe that they systematically lie to their populations about what happens in those meetings. For one, Juncker himself has complained about this: leaders support a policy in private at the Council level, then go back home and tell their populations they fought against it and are being forced to do it by the EU.

Given the staggering amount of mendaciousness and duplicity the current anti-Brexit Parliament has been revealing amongst the ruling classes, I have no doubt at all Juncker's complaint is valid. But of course if the EU wanted it could easily fix this: just make Council meetings public so people can see if their leader's acts in those meetings matches their acts back home.

The other problem is the number of levels of indirection. Politicians don't base campaigns on who they'll vote for as leader of the Commission. It's "democratic" only in tortured theory.
So... good? If companies that reject good candidates for no good reason find themselves having higher hiring costs, they'll have to either reajust their hiring criteria or spend more than their competitors.

Sure, it sucks for the interviewees for now, but there's potential to make things better for everyone in the long term.
I'm not a game dev but just as a developer I do think a lot of these assumptions are a little unfair. You can't call things "not a real issue" just because they're not a big issue to you.

> ...64 bit is likely your default target anyway - has been for awhile. So, killing 32 bit is not a real issue.

If you depend on 32-bit software, no, it is a real issue. Updating an app and dependencies to all be 64-bit can be a pretty big issue. Not everyone is on a modern stack.

> ...linux is more problematic per sale than mac. Yet he has no issue with linux.

If I were on a PC I would have less issue with linux too, simply because I don't need to buy special hardware or switch computers to deal with those tickets.

> If this was me, I'd be wanting to know exactly why linux/mac was generating so many tickets. The answer will likely help the overall product.

Will it? If they're platform issues, they're not improving the product, just getting it to run.

> Personally, you need to jump through so many hoops to release software that none of these thus far mentioned should be big enough to stop you.

You don't know this guy's resources though. That's like telling someone, if you're already come 25 miles, 5 miles aren't that much more. If they're in a car, sure. If they are running, yes it is— every mile is a lot.

> The real reasons should be: is there a demand in this target market; will that demand generate sufficient profit?

I think the fact only 4% of sales come from macOS means there isn't much demand or profit, right?

> As I'm starting my own journey on this I see all the platforms and app stores have various issues. Everything has tradeoffs. The article's author needs to come up with better arguments.

The arguments are good. You yourself just said it. Everything has tradeoffs, and the tradeoffs of developing for macOS are just not worth this person's time.

> I just don't see his reasons as relevant in comparison to the other much larger costs associated with development.

Except do you really know his costs, and the resources he has to cover said costs?

> I'd actually recommend targeting multiple platforms just to force bugs to come out. Different platforms / compilers see and expose different issues in your codebase.

Wait, what? What's the point of killing bugs for a platform you don't support though? Maybe when I develop for web I should text in IE 5. It'll surface so many "bugs" in my site.
