Amazon still isn't quite there - that "house kit" is offered by a third party, and I am not sure anyone rational would just drop that kind of money on a credit card for a third party on Amazon...

Now, if it said "fulfilled by Amazon" - or it went to a different section of the site ("Amazon Dwellings" - I dunno) that was clearly an Amazon branded product, manufacturing and fulfillment system for houses, that'd be a different thing.

I'm not sure how Sears did it way, way back when. But it was probably closer to something like a dealership, where you went inside a store and sat down and worked out the paperwork, etc - then paid the down payment or in full or whatever, then had to go "back home" to arrange shipment from the (likely train) dock or such out to your land...

What I could see Amazon getting into would be shipping container houses/pods/etc - or something like small houses (in conjunction with Ikea maybe?). I know Amazon has at least one offering of a container house, but again, it's third party. What I'm envisioning would be something you just go thru a designer app to come up with the interior layout for the "pods" in the standard container sizes, then tell them where you want it to be delivered, and it arrives on your property ready to be offloaded, with a large Amazon logo on the side (looking like a standard shipping container until it is "unwrapped" or "assembled" more or less. With everything included to make it stupid simple. Heck, if the land sale could be included in it, so that all bylaws and such were taken care of (water, electrical, sewage, etc), plus all the contracts and such for cement foundations or whatnot - it would be one heck of a housing solution.

Except the opposite is happening lol:

- Contributes pretty much all of the closed source technologies (or what was originally to become closed source) of the Oracle JDK to OpenJDK, for example giving the community: JDK Flight Recorder; JDK Mission Control; ZGC; …and probably more stuff I can’t think of right now;

- Ensures the Oracle JDK and the OpenJDK builds are virtually indistinguishable;

- Starts providing a free OpenJDK build (which includes all these donated technologies);

- Provides uncountable man hours of maintaining and innovating the Java platform;

- Ensures that the community knows where to find the free bits by linking to them, and slaps on a bright yellow warning sign, so that everyone can see that the licensing has changed;

Some bits do not even make sense:

For now it's just the spreadsheet, (anyone can edit) but the website will be by done by Nov 11th.

That's the goal anyway, and then from there I could open source or just do weighted average input for people to rate their favorites w/ no login required.

Yeah, that's my point. $500 is going to be sketch.

I'm actually pretty familiar with Buies...my mom's family all lives in Sanford and used to drive through there.

I work for a company that does rental listings so I look at these numbers a lot.

Nah, I'd say it counts. Population is under 5,000. It's very much NOT Raleigh.
I love Tor, but it's almost suspicious how fast it's become, like I'm wondering who's paying for all this bandwidth. Home, businesses, hotels, you name it, Tor Browser almost never takes more than 2x as long to load anything on the web as the raw connection does. I admit don't have an understanding of how Tor works mathematically. There are organizations funding Tor exits and relays (torservers.net, Emerald Onion, Tor Project itself) but has anyone added up the bandwidth they provide and compared it to the total?
Down payment is only a portion of the costs to buy a loan. My 3.5% down FHA mortgage on $309K purchase price cost me about $16K. My previous 5% down conventional on $103K was around $12K.

Moving in ain't free, either.
Smart phone addiction is absolutely real. My neck is sore everyday that I don't consciously make an effort to use my phone less. I hit my 1 hour limit on my reddit app by 9 or 10 every morning.

I do agree that it is absolutely not Apple's responsibility to do anything about this. People want to outsource their responsibility as parents and it's pathetic.
Totally agree. There are a lot of React developers because the entry threshold is lower than other technologies, but there are much fewer good ones. Easy to learn, hard to master
A telephone survey of 982 people called on landlines. How many total calls were made -- what was the response rate, and what has been done to de-bias any correlation between response rate and the outcome? And a self-reporting survey, over the phone, about government photo ids, without any mention being made of how they convinced people that the survey was genuine?

And then there's just the standard phone survey stuff, where you up-multiply based on (once again, self-reported) attributes to match population demographics, causing everything to be wildly out of whack.

This level of obfuscation of methodology is pretty high even by the standards of regular polling.
ldc does support webassembly.
Um, this is how banking works in the UK. Nobody cancels their bank account if they lose their card, they just cancel their card. And given someone else's card I could send them 1p within a minute (even if it's cancelled). Now I've seen this approach, it's what I'll do next time. And it doesn't involve the poster's company in any way, transferring thousands of pounds instantly within the EU is trivial.
IIRC you should look into the Tor Browser’s work along these lines. It includes fun things like “provide a default untraceable screen size ignoring your own”, so that web pages render at the wrong resolution for your browser window in exchange for one less effective vector. I don’t know if Firefox has it under a config option or not.
Wow, thanks, we appreciate the vote of confidence!

It is interesting to think about the possible performance gains to be had running JS in the browser rather than in a detached JS engine. For example, WKWebView on iOS has access to the full JIT-ed JS engine on iOS, while JavaScriptCore does not (as I understand it).
I've met a lot of jerks with MBA's, its not the MBA though, it's just that they're jerks. Unfortunately there's no check for that on the entrance exam.

Yeah in my area I'm paying probably $200+/month more for my small apartment than I would for a house that's 2-3 times the sqft. It's frustrating to know that I'd actually be saving money + building equity of I could just buy a house today. But saving up is hard when you're also paying off student debt.

My family has told me that you should always save up the 20%, but it seems like like the FHA 3.5% is the winners choice. If I wait until I have 20% down it's going to take ages and all that money spent on apartments is going to waste.
The beginnings of so-called discipline
App Flow generally works really well for native app builds for us.

- Cordova plugins can be a pain - we have had to do a lot of research in Github issues/source code and in one case built our own plugin. We also have a few custom build scripts. Other than that things have worked pretty well for us.

- Automatic submission to app stores will be great since we have to spend a good bit of time doing that manually and we currently rely on TestFlight/Play beta testing rather than Ionic Deploy.

Why would you cancel a bank account over a lost wallet?

reply to your edit: (btw, you can click on the timestamp of a comment and reply directly, always) … That's not how it works. If you loose a card, you let the bank deactivate the specific card. The account itself is not permanently compromised by a card. Someone else knowing your "banking info" (= account number) doesn't mean much and is not a reason to close an account.
Those are halfway there.

The problem is they're out-of-reach financially to many people ($145~) and they can't be used with a database to determine the person's local residence.

I am thinking of something akin to the Chinese Resident Identity Card, which does track enough info to determine voter eligibility, I think.
This seems to flagrantly ignore the parents' need to be to work on time. I think the kids will ultimately be the ones suffering because the parents will struggle that much more.

No, the bus is not always an option, nor is leaving your kid alone at home for any amount of time.
>The wavelength of microwave ovens is even longer, at 6.66cm. And yet that's the rotational resonant frequency of water. Weird, huh? By the way, you can confirm this with a single slice of cheese with the turnplate removed and then calculate the speed of light from the burn marks on that cheese being 3.33cm apart :)

Not really. 2.4GHz was chosen because it allowed to built microwave ovens at that particular size and because nobody cares about the 2.4GHz range. You can build 900 MHz ovens too, there are some, mainly for industrial usage.
It's certainly not illegal to inspect unattended items in the UK. An assessment is typically made of whether or not it should be deemed a threat.

If the item is not hidden, not obviously suspicious, and is typical of the environment in which it was found, then it's unlikely to be a threat and can be inspected further.

Unattended bags are found all the time. There's no need for the military to be called in for all (or even most) of them. And even then, that's mostly the responsibility of the police than the armed forces.
90th percentile puts you on around £55k, for which you could absolutely get a mortgage on a £300k property (assuming you have a 10% deposit and your partner earns an average salary).

That would be a hazard for your neighbours though. Like it or not, living in a society also means you have duties towards your fellow citizens.
What licensing costs? OpenJDK is free. As it always have been. OracleJDK and OpenJDK starting from version 11 are virtually the same.
I don't see a lot of people crapping on the content presented at MBA programs. MBA-style case studies are actually pretty fun. The thing they're crapping on is the average quality of the people that come out of these MBA programs, as a group.

If the people coming into your program are largely pampered, entitled idiots, and as an institution, you throw away your old work experience requirements so that you can rake in those sweet sweet MBA loan / trust-fund dollars, then you shouldn't be surprised when you start to get people who can't tie their own shoelaces out the other end, and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself when people start to question the value of an MBA or when enrollment starts to drop.

Startup School currently appears to self select for a more intelligent and thoughtful cohort. This may change in the future, and I'll happily update my heuristics if / when that happens, but for now assuming lower quality from an MBA grad than from someone who worked through Startup School without any additional information doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.
We don't really do checking accounts in the UK anymore, so I don't know about them.

I won't argue that debugging MERGE statements is easy, and that there aren't pitfalls, but it's a very declarative relational model reduce pattern so calling it "less functional" doesn't seem accurate to me, if you mean functional as in functional programming. (If you mean functional as in the raw number of features supported, I also heavily disagree because I know from past experience there are reductions you can do with MERGE that you cannot do easily if at all with other "upsert" patterns.) Again, I might be biased because in that past life I was doing some wild "big data" (of a sort, of a sort) map/reduce type stuff with MERGE (in T-SQL on Microsoft SQL Server, if that matters for painting a picture).
Yes. 1PB. Although I don't remember the specifics about reliability; something about having to remount the entire fs if it wasn't 100% there.

This says I have to pay a fee, and then wait 2-3 days to send somebody money. That's not caused by "infrastructure" that's caused by greed in the absence of effective government to tell them to get their shit together.

Even better it tells me the size of that fee is included in a "Fee Guide" the link for which is a 404. Excellent work.

Create a fresh profile and install nothing into it and don’t change any defaults at all. If the problem still occurs, open a Webcompat issue about it. If the problem goes away, it’s either the addon or some sort of non-default config settings.

Glad you're liking it! While we remain big fans of Cordova we do have the fortunate advantage of building Capacitor in 2019 where we have access to much better JS standards, native tooling that is far more mature than before, and a clearer outlook on what devices/platforms need to be supported, not to mention Progressive Web Apps. We've tried to take advantage of those technological leaps and apply them where possible.
The Scene.js Timeline seems foundational to making keyframe animations using JS/CSS:

https://github.com/daybrush/scenejs-timeline

Granted, Scene.js seems oriented towards short animations.

Building a hypermedia studio, even with Scene.js as a component, that could produce something as elaborate as Homestar Runner would need considerable effort.

The idea here is basically an open source, web standards-based alternative to Adobe Animate.
Oh I agree that student loan payments hurt the ability to save. My point is more that this generation is more cautious about buying a house with very little down because we know the long term affects of large debt.

I do think that addressing the student loan issue would directly help the housing market.

My mother works for a school district in California. There was an open hearing around moving the starting school time from 8:00 am to 7:00 am. There's been countless research showing that this is generally bad for children to wake up this early (I'm sorry for not linking a reference).

At the hearing, there are some words that go something like "Children come first" printed on some wall in a large font. My mother made her case that starting so early isn't a good idea, and is bad for children and they may as well remove those words. The reason for the change is that teachers generally live pretty close to the school they teach at. They also have a car. So, for them they can wake up at 6:30 and make it on time. Whereas kids, especially poor kids, might live further and may be taking a bus where the bus pick up times could be as early as 6:00 am so the kids are waking up even earlier just to make it. An early starting time, generally, benefited the teachers as they can wake up later and they get out of class around 2:00 pm. The after-school programs then rake in cash by keeping kids longer since most parents don't get off work until 5:00 pm.

tl;dr the early starting times were to make teachers happy. Good on California to put students over teachers. Now, if only we can raise teacher's salaries.
A lot of these stories read as overly dramatic and it often feels like the author is begging for sympathy in situations that don't seem to be very regrettable...
Where is there a "deep-dive engagement into the intricacies of how hack-ey the current money transfer system is" at the link? I see a tweet with a fun story that's about no negative part of banking and bunch of replies about how this is cool or how the commenter also has a story about lost property. If it's deeper I didn't scroll far enough down, and I doubt very many of those interacting with the tweet did either.
Anybody got the sci-hub link?
> Websites that publish child sexual exploitation material are getting heavily censored in the U.S. too. Think through what uncensorable implies.

To me, it implies that things you agree with and things you don't agree with cannot be censored. This seems like a prerequisite for a free society.

The stories highlighted seem to be split between "content I don't like exists on YouTube" and "content I don't like is recommended to me."

> I think it would have been very easy for Edison to profit from AC had he not been so stubborn.

I've often wondered what could have happened had they became partners or even friends. What Tesla would have made of, say, the Edison Effect - perhaps the vacuum tube (diode, triode, etc) would have been invented much earlier? How that would have affected history (good and bad)? Would electronic digital computers have been developed earlier? Who knows...
You're not wrong. The upstarts may not have weathered the first rounds of the battle but I know people are pretty annoyed at the lock-in.

There was supposed to be a format standard for lenses to solve this problem, but one of my camera-snob friends pointed out that while you can physically thread the lens on another body, things like autofocus probably won't work. So in the end it got people to buy new lenses but still not be able to pick best of breed from each generation.
I'm pretty sure Dub will happily manage your D deps and compile them statically.

In the UK the details needed to transfer money into an account are on most bank cards (Account Number and Sort Code), so that's enough identifying info.

That would also mean someone can send you money if your card is blocked or cancelled. Account number and sort code don't change when you get a new card.

Also, "Faster Payments" is the name of the normal system to transfer money between accounts in the UK. It doesn't cost the sender anything other than the money they send. It's called "faster" because the old system was a lot slower (because it was based on paper I think?).
Recently I had to port some code from the legacy version of an internal DSL to our newer version. I just wrote a primitive parser that would understand 98% percent of the code (in a safe way) and lowered that into the new DSL. Worked like a charm, and I didn't have to rewrite ~2000000 lines (a colleague tried pattern matching, but that was unusable for complex expressions).

I wonder if/why there is no such ~~thing~~ [edit] effort for python2/3?

If you're only accepting programs that P2 accepts, you can even get away with being lazy and "understanding" more than P2.

I haven't used Ionic React, so I can't comment on that, but I've been working on a medium sized Ionic Angular app and I have mixed feelings about it (to the point where if I were to start a new project today I wouldn't use it).

Some random issues that come to mind:

1. Stacked (push/pop navigation)

This was really bad in Ionic 3 where you didn't actually have a proper router, so this was the only way you could navigate in an app, but it's still an issue in Ionic 4. Basically you can have multiple (stacked) pages in the DOM at the same time which negatively impacts performance (e.g.: more DOM nodes, more computation during change detection cycles, etc). Also, extra cognitive load because you now have to decide for each link whether you want it to push a new page onto the stack, pop it from the stack or replace the root page.

2. Performance problems and/or memory leaks

Simply navigating in an Ionic app is enough to create memory leaks: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/19242

3. Trying to use canvas (or size sensitive components) inside an Ionic app

- https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/17920
- https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/17940

4. Slower developement edit/build/reload cycle

I don't have the exact numbers right now but last time I checked, just importing the `IonicModule` into an Angular app module (without using any actual Ionic components) resulted in an order of magnitude slower edit/build/reload cycle (I think plain Angular was something like 100-200 ms; after importing `IonicModule` that jumped to 1-2 seconds; not that bad but significant enough that you could actually feel it).

Given the overwhelmingly positive community feedback I hear about Ionic in general, I think there's a good chance I may be doing something wrong, in which case I'd love if someone could point it out.

That being said, huge thanks to the Ionic team for giving us Capacitor. My experience from migrating the same app from Cordova to Capacitor was really positive. I feel like it brings a breath of fresh air to hybrid app development.
