Just wrote in,

Thanks for sharing your experience with our new formatting UI. I'm sorry to hear it's been a little disruptive so far.
There isn't a way to revert to the old formatting method, I'm afraid.
We don't currently have plans to make the new formatting configurable
though we are carefully considering all our customers' feedback.
Exactly. Even if it's now fairly easy to edit a PDF (although the obvious approaches like opening them in Word still often visibly mess with the formatting), sending something as a PDF is a signal to the recipient that it's not meant to be changed.
No, but its common knowledge that most tradesmen do this.

It was quite a few years ago now but I think I paid 1.5% on the sale of my previous house in the UK. I'm always surprised you don't have a more competitive market in the US.
And challenge the political ways of these who came before you.

I inherited and wear my grandfather's hat, I remember him, I drink tea in his honour, but I fight against some of the things he believed and fought for.

I find "Preview", standard PDF viewer for the Mac to be pretty good for annotations. I "think" it might be available under acrobat for windows but it's a bit more obscure.

Certainly, between me a mac user, and colleague using Linux I was able to provide feedback on their documentation in this way ...

If you want a standalone HTML solution I reckon you could embed the formula as SVG. Or maybe you can somehow get MathML to look nice, but so far that seems tricky without using JavaScript to help (which might not be supported/desirable in a document format) and I'm not sure about the state of MathML support in e-readers.

One of the problems with including mathematical formulae in a reflowable document format is that the concept of reflowable mathematical notation simply doesn't seem to exist, so In practice you'll end up with something equivalent to a picture.
Your post only makes sense when you frame the employer-employee relationship as adversarial. When you frame it as working together to create wealth for both parties, unions, which make money when employees and employers are in conflict, seem like a much less appealing idea.

> When was the last time any registrar ever refused to issue a name based on the nature of the entity requesting it?

Unlike .org, .gov has actually gotten tighter since the early days for new registrations, though they didn't push the legacy non-federal sites off.

.edu has also gotten more, not less, restrictive, IIRC.

And .ngo, .mil, .int have clear and enforced meanings.

A lot of newer domains do, too, though not always by type of entity.
I essentially use tabs as dynamic bookmarks; as a stack almost.

I never use multiple windows in any browser because they are unreliable with tab reloading.

When people in the modern era say “front end developer” that basically implies web.

Most people in common nomenclature don’t call iOS and Android developers “front end developers”. They are referred to as “mobile developers”.

Are you implying you do have to do so to try out Matrix? You can simply use the web version of Riot hosted here (https://riot.im/app) and sign up for a free account on matrix.org.

There's a link to this accessible from the "Try Matrix Now" page you referenced above. Admittedly, it seems the words inviting you to try Riot "on the web" were linked to https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/riot instead of to https://riot.im/app/. That's probably a mistake and should be fixed.
FWIW the “boat” is not moving. This is in contrast to Blue Origin’s reusable booster which will literally be landing on a moving boat.
Headspace has a decent free tier that's good for introductory stuff.
I am a bit weirded out and pessimistic. If in any case in 27 years HK will be totally under Chinese control what would be the reason to fight it now temporarily? Unless the issue at stake is complete freedom. That can escalate to full blown war and possibly a global one.
I prefer breakfast, move things.
That's because most of those hours are inefficient A lot of time spent coordinating meetings and walking with people showing the things they could see/read themselves. In most cases you only really need realtor at the very end, after you spend lots of hours seeing or showing homes, and now it's time to make the deal. It's not 1980s anymore, you can use internet to search for places yourself or to advertise your property yourself. If you remove those inefficient hours, there should be 5x less realtors but they might earn more and do better job.
I am thinking about using Elm for a side project. No async backend stuff needed for now but likely at some point it will be.

This article made me dubious about investing the time to learn this language & its ecosystem.

Any thoughts?

They have no individual bargaining power, but that doesn't mean they can be ignored. The more you ignore them the more go to greener pastures, the more you do for them the more resources they focus on your business.
Then tell the truth or don't answer the question. Those are your three options.
It's interesting to compare this discussion with how adblockers are treated. Either we're in favour of the user having control of the operation of their browser, including delegating that to extensions, or we're not.
You can do that easily in numpy. ((x>0)-(x<0))*1 will give zeros and ones.
I wonder if this will turn out to be the kind of mistake discussed in Scott's "Seeing Like a State". Planners and architects see something bustling and chaotic and enforce a new system made of straight lines, and in doing so eliminate something essential.

Maybe not; maybe it'll be a great success.
>That's actually a legitimate feature of a swimming pool

Yeah it was in a way legit. Lots of thatch roof houses nearby etc - if it hadn't been for the context.

They built a ton of private stuff with taxpayer money and then tried to justify it later when called to account. e.g. A mini Amphitheatre because a soil retaining wall. Swimming pool became a fire pool. The chicken coop...well there their creativity failed them.

I know, but based on context, I estimated that quip to be somewhat reactionary. The alternative is obviously not to leave out any kind of enforcement. The alternative is to go back to the kind of enforcement that was used and worked fine several decades ago.

Water lost to steam heavily depends on style of cooking, or more precisely, in a covered pot, is mostly a linear function of the excess heat beyond that required to bring contents to boiling temperature (steam re-condensation on the lid/sides provides a slight buffer) + a bit lost to empty space in the pot (when opening etc).

Some stoves are hard to regulate so the food is just barely boiling, so it can be hard not to notably lose water.

From experience, the boiling of water in itself is mostly meaningless when cooking, unless you want food extra shredded. You can happily cook at 90℃ or 80℃ if you want, but it will take longer.

Note if cooking risky food: beware of required time at a given temperature to kill pathogens, not forgetting heat transfer takes time especially in solid chunks.
Nobody knows anything. Harry Potter got rejected by over 40 publishers.

I started as a self-published author and sold hundreds of thousands of books plus made my first movie deal before ever getting a publisher.

I was actually better early-off as an indie than with some of my first publishing deals. Although I learned a lot by working with a first-rate editor.

You don't need a publisher in 2019. You need a good book, a good editor, a good cover and a good description...and to keep writing.

A year after I sat down to write my first self-published novel I was sitting across the table from one of my favorite directors on the Disney lot talking about my book.

All of that because I started by self-publishing.
> computers only had a few KBs of RAM.

I don't think this is right. Postscript maybe ... but PDF in my experience came about in the 90s, when computers typically had between 4 and 16MB of RAM ...
Yeah, this header sorting is only meant to be a tool to help craft header files which are independent. If that's not your project structure then you can use whatever sorting you want.

In the end though you'll have to make a decision on how to sort the projects and which one is more or less specific than another. Kind of like deciding to just sort by pointer address if all else is equal.
YES! This annoys me to no end!
Elm Type Declaration Demystified
As a native english speaker who also speaks some french and spanish, I had the opposite experience:

I had trouble deciphering the alphabet at speed, but once I had I could often understand the word based on it's similarity to spanish (e.g. Σάββατο / Sábado) or english (έξοδος / exit).
had to look around for a bit to find the plus button
Interestingly, if I do that, it will then send it unformatted. I want to format in the actual chat, just not in my input.
Not the gp, but I see .org tld sale as a major breach of trust. Names are very, very serious business in internet.

What is next? .gov domain sale to unscrupulous private firm based on Bahamas? Per-nation dns systems without respect to each other whatsoever and resulting collapse of https, since it is based on dns?
Exactly my tip to the anti-GC luddites.

The difference being evolution, takes care of sorting that out, like in all anti-technology groups throughout mankind history.
Slack works with Okta which works with AD. These days it seems most IT orgs don't want software interfacing with AD directly (mainly because AD is a hot mess to deal with). Also, Teams is free with O365 :(
The video is hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
There's Mattermost[1], which is an open source alternative to Slack. I haven't tried it yet so can't vouch for how it compares.

This sounds just like how my friends at Google reacted when Gmail and Google Docs were given the "Kennedy" makeover some years ago. Apparently there were a lot of memes going round to the effect of "still have one tab with the old Gmail open; praying Chrome doesn't crash".

PDF is the most complete open vectorgraphic format. SVG comes close, but client support is all over the place. Browser support is attrocious.
"Thanks so much for the feedback here, we really appreciate it and I'm sorry that the new formatting options have disrupted your flow. There isn't a way to revert to the old formatting method, I'm afraid. We don't currently have plans to make the new formatting configurable though we are carefully considering all our customers' feedback.

If it helps, you can turn off the formatting toolbar by clicking the Aa symbol to the right of the message input field.

The new message formatting is in the initial stages of launch and we're definitely planning on keeping it updated and making changes that make sense to us within the vision of the product."

I really sad to see when a "vision" is more important for a company than the customer feedback.
I was trying to say that even in those cases you almost never benefit from knowing the details of cache coherency.

Does that "most" mean 60% of people, or 90%?

Unsolicited advice only annoys me if it's long-winded and preventing me from doing something else.

Also, I don't know what "validation" is in this context. Oxford English Dictionary doesn't seem to adequately cover psychobabble (though it does at least have the word "psychobabble").
This can't be overstressed. Spies are, by the nature of their work, criminals. Even if their presence and activities are known by friendly countries (e.g. CIA operating in UK), they are usually operating outside the host countries legal system.

This is why rule #1 of spying is: don't get caught.
Except when it doesn't.
What do you mean by "not moving"? The platform sat on the surface of an ocean. It's always moving.
I would rethink including "Learn CSS3". CSS has moved away from single versioned spec to modules and levels, so CSS3 does not mean much now. If you want to emphasize some specific parts (like animations), better say so explicitly.
Plenty of them, specially in automation.
> Why do cries of "free market!!1" __always__ seem to end up meaning "I want to profit at the expense of the public good"?

That matches the reality I've found myself reading about in the news for the last decade or so. Regular folk don't go declaring "free market", they don't need to, they just get on with things. It's those who feel they need to distract from or justify their actions that declare "free market" mainly because that shuts up the majority of critics who refuse to follow the money trail back to their sponsors.

They won't loan you more than X% of the appraised value, but you can make that up with the down payment (or pay the whole thing in cash, as you say).
That's true, but it can change. Just as tech users were vocal about getting people in, they can be vocal about getting people out.
This discounts the critical role of local news in informing citizens about the performance of and candidates for local government, as well as the investigative role. If the above is all we have in most municipalities, America will likely become a high corruption country.
there's also a question whether if this information was available, would it be read? i think there's an analogy to public education here: if it was driven purely by greed, it wouldn't happen. maybe there should be a government-sponsored investigative journalism, perhaps attached to the judiciary branch?
I'm going to try and reply (rate limit?). (And I won't keep harassing you with more posts). You are right it does affect my feelings to see someone hurting so much. Better that you criticize me - and live. You have had a long, tough run. I am also so sorry to hear about your loss.

Of course after enough trauma and hard knocks - and an impersonal system - you are worn out. I think that is why the poster above suggested basics like sleep and nutrition, if you can get them - not a global solution I know but it does help. (Small lever points).

Situations can change in really weird ways - that no one ever could have predicted - even when it has been tough for years, even when things seem really hopeless.

I'm not in the business of depressing you more, or taxing you emotionally. Your life does matter.

It's also an exceptionally useful technique in mathematics if you've got a few nested sums with dependend indices. By writing the condition in an Iverson bracket it becomes trivial to change the order of summation or change one of the variables.
There are other products out there that put automatic changes on the undo stack. I regularly encounter this behaviour in Visual Studio: pasting code in the editor is decomposed into pasting text and reformatting it. So the first Ctrl-Z reverts the code to the exact text you copied. The second Ctrl-Z will remove it.
I agree with you, but isn't the very subject we're discussing that these jobs may no longer provide income?

Does it follow that a job that does not provide income is not useful to society even if you consider the thing being worked on to be worthwhile?
In my experience it doesn't particularly break up the flow of text. And as for "people not from a coding background", inline styling with visible formatting characters is exactly how Whatsapp implements its rich text editing. Considering it's an app with a billion and a half MAU, I think you might find that you have an unrealistically low opinion of non-developers' intelligence.
Rightly or not, Thiel is conflating communism and totalitarianism- China is indisputably a leader in using AI to perpetuate the latter.
which is supposed to be the key to long life and happiness

I often wonder about that. I'm sure if someone is gregarious and outgoing then they would suffer if they were deprived of social contact. Is this the same for introverts? I wonder if any of the studies on this control for introversion/extroversion.
Bit strange thinking of Python as "old" .. anyway, what I suspect happened was that tabs were the "new" innovation - in the post-punchcard era. Punchcards couldn't meaningfully have a tab character, but they could have fixed character positions, and this feature was required by COBOL and FORTRAN in their day. It was still present in the F77 standard.

I think the other thing that got in the way of standardising on TAB was that 8 character indent is too much, but once you let people configure it it's no longer consistent between systems.

>> Dirtying cache lines across different cores/threads is slow

Very succinct and correct. This is particularly pernicious with atomics, which people use for lock-free stuff such as queues and work stealing thread pools. If atomics used by different threads/cores share a cache line and you mutate them a lot, perf gets instantly fucked, sometimes worse than if you used a mutex in the first place. And if you don't benchmark, you aren't going to notice.

Yes, but this reasoning seems to put too much value on the last moments of your life and the actual act of dying.

I would say it's all the other moments that make life valuable, not its end.
I had a lot of issues with mattermost delivering messages out of order and constantly getting disconnected with “retry” on lots of messages.

First time reading this.

On one hand it looks neat. This is something i expected browsers to be able to do since i noticed that Mozilla (pre-Firefox) implemented <blink> (or <marquee>?) in JavaScript.

On the other hand it looks like it'll become much harder for JavaScript-less environments to extract data from web-pages as now an article on a news site could be something like <news-article id="23848923"> and the JavaScript side will do the rest.

But being able to do something like <my-fancy-button caption="Go To Google" target="http://google.com/"> that in the background creates all the canvases and such needed will be neat.
The reason the Windows 95 interface was so much better than what came before it was because Microsoft did loads of user testing and changed their design heavily based on it.

This isn't about security, it's about making sure that a text document is formatted exactly the same on all devices, whether it's a PC, a phone or a printer.

The PDF file is reliable in that aspect while other widely used document formats like .doc and .docx are basically a gamble, even if you open the document on the same machine with the same software. The same with presentations: You just need to open the file in a slightly different software or version or encounter one of the countless bugs and suddenly you have a picture overlapping with text.
Everyone is talking about healthcare, but I think affordable housing needs to be the next big public issue to tackle. It seems like this is acting as a lever in wealth inequality, since less and less young people are even able to imagine owning a home in their lifetime, and many in the position to buy treat it as an investment instrument, and thus have the incentive to drive the price up rapidly, putting it farther out of reach of everyone else.

I'm not against profit, but with something like housing which is a fundamental need, it seems like some effort must be made to build a system which makes it attainable for average people.
This is covered in the book «games people play» (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book)) under the name «why don’t you? yes, but...»

In some cases People aren’t looking for the advice/solution, as much as the recognition that they have a problem... person A tells a problem, person B suggests ways to resolve the problem, to which person A has to give/come up with a reason why that solution won’t do.
We then repeat this until a stalemate is reached, and everybody can acknowledge that person A is justified in their feelings about having a problem...

So on the flip side; your example seems to be a misinterpretation of this game. I.e. some person who’s played this game, and learned that this is what to do, meets a frustration where you’re not playing along with it... (maybe)

Short order solution; don’t play that game with people who don’t have a healthy relationship with frustrating problems.
I agree on this one. The convention in javascript is that functions names start with a lowercase case letter.

That spying is the status quo is not really the concern of a UK court. In this case, the court does not care about whether or not agents in the UK were breaking US law, or even if there is some treaty between friendly nations to give them immunity. Well they may care, but this is a separate matter.

The court is faced with an extradition request, which will hinge on questions such as: are the charges well laid out and supported? will the defendant get a fair trial? and does this fit within our extradition treaty?

That second point - getting a fair trial - is heavily undermined if there is evidence the US government has privileged information that came from spying.
The US has cartelized markets and an inefficient title system.
