I just like how lightweight they are, and (this may be silly, I know) I like how good-looking and useful the included templates are. Also they rarely crash or do anything weird, which you'd think would just be normal by now, but very much is not.

Last time I remember using modern-ish GUI Office-type programs that felt this respectful of system resources was years ago when I used Linux, and I dropped OpenOffice (too damn heavy and slow) for some of the single-purpose alternatives like Gnumeric (is that even around anymore?). Apple's various utility and basic productivity programs are really damn good (god I love Preview) and a big part of what keeps me suffering through all the bad things about Apple products.
Most of (>80%) the thrust of modern turbofan engines is directly produced by the fan, which mostly just pushed air past the engine, not into it.
Fastmail. Happy customer for many years.

It's extremely common now, but it wasn't possible yet when they made this design decision.
Revisionist history? The seminal work in Design Patterns (coined the term) came out in 1995

Same year Java was invented. Hard to imagine Java inspired it.
Is it just me, or has the ACLU been on a roll lately? I'm really enjoying its current direction. It might have just been that the most controversial headlines were getting the most airtime, but it seemed to be going off the tracks for a while.
This is how I approach it too and I think it's a healthy approach. I get into a job mainly for the learning opportunities it provides. I'll happily take a pay cut if it means I get to grow in a direction I need. Once I feel like the opportunities become fewer and farther between, and management cannot change that, I'll find a new job that can provide me with the right learning opportunities again.

Of course, I'm not even in my thirties, so I can afford to optimise for learning now to have the compound interest pay off for it when I'm older.
It seems to me like the risk of a Kong crash is much larger than the risk of most local currency crashes.
thanks petey
Go doesn't have generics either, and I've found it to be incredibly useful and productive.
There's a difference between risk and harm. Risks are something that represent an unknown future harm to the economy, likely in the form of a potential recession. The things you list undoubtedly waste resources, both from loss of productivity and from spending resources that otherwise could have been utilized for something else, but they're known quantities.

In a sense the things you list are kind of like the broken windows fallacy. The increase in healthcare spending shows up in our GDP, but isn't an efficient use of the resources.

I also imagine that student loan debt could reduce local growth. If you have a graduate using most of their income on repaying loans, that's money that may have been spent locally and is instead sent to the bank. Of course the opposite is true before graduation, where inflated costs of education result in more money in the local economy. However due to interest it may be the case that the former outweighs the latter.
Apparently a few of the folks working on Flutter used to work on Chrome and started thinking about what they could do if they could start fresh.

There are still a lot of older api's that web browsers have to support.
The replies to my above comment have shown that I was not at all clear about the meaning of my analogy. The 8088 was considered a 16-bit CPU, but it used an 8-bit memory bus. Thus two (or more) memory fetches were required for each instruction. The 80386SX was considered a 32-bit CPU, but it used a 16-bit memory bus. Thus the same memory bandwidth issue that applied to the 8088 applied to it as well.

Imagine an 8088 running at 4.77MHz trying to keep up with a Z-80 running at 4MHz. The Z-80 always won because of the memory bandwidth issue.
Why not just tax capital gains at the same rate as dividends?
I paste the data via Text Import Wizard, choose Text for the date columns, & then later split & join again as correct date format.
Many do. The living room thing seems like a straw man: The CEO and other employees can have individual offices (not everyone likes to work from their bedroom), or you rent a meeting room when you need one.
Power (kW) determines takeoff weight (ie plane size/passenger count), energy (kWh) determines range. This article doesn't have all the info needed to say how this would scale. For instance, if the energy storage of the batteries doubled but the power stayed the same, you couldn't make the plane capacity any bigger but you could extend the range to more than double.
I know there are already firms that do online history scrubbing of people who get some warning that they're about to be entering the public eye, but that kind of thing is probably going to be a major growth area. Even if there's content out there that's beyond one's ability to clean up, just being forewarned/reminded of its existence could be an advantage.

I could definitely picture political parties and businesses being willing to pay $$$ for an internet presence dossier as part of their larger candidate vetting process.
>"There are so many things that are amazing that are not perfect. And there are so many things that are perfect that are fucking boring," [Giertz] says. "Perfect is a corset. It doesn't let you breathe. It doesn't let you roll around. It's a small pen to be in."

Oof. That hits the perfectionist in me hard.
I believe it is using heat (from ultrasound oscillation) to burn them. Cells can't survive the heat.
This is similar to how NSURL on macOS/iOS accesses the filesystem in its constructor: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurl/1...

“ This method assumes that path is a directory if it ends with a slash. If path does not end with a slash, the method examines the file system to determine if path is a file or a directory.”

People often overlook this and then wonder why their app stutters randomly when the UI thread gets blocked on this NSURL ctor :^)
Wow, that seems like a bad idea. who thought that was a good idea let alone expected behavior.
Is your argument that they could have had 10x less vulnerability to data loss while operating at the same cost and backing up the same amount of total data? (If so, then this really is a valuable skill)

Or are you saying that they should have backed up 10x less data in order to have the 10x more redundant copies? That's a value decision on what to prioritize (more data saved vs 'good enough' resiliency).

Donations would be the best way to solve this problem so that they don't have to make this trade off in the first place.
Diaspora's been here for years and works better than AP; AP is purely hype.
I wonder if something like this would be useful for software engineering / computer science?

I understand the domains of inquiry are quite different, but having a place to put open questions, answers, etc. that is limited in some way would be interested.

The limitation that springs to mind immediately is one of social circles, so something like Stack Exchange, but for a social circle (defined by courses at a university, or people that you work with, or other constraints).

Other constraints could be useful as well.
That’s what the main deflector dish is for.
Sure, but the web is never going to be a great platform for apps on mobile or embedded devices.
Usually tape libraries.

A problem with most forms of warm storage is that they involve moving media around, which itself can lead to degradation.

I would like to see some write-one and really last forever form of storage to come into widespread use. That seems ... like it's still a few years off.

And you still have the issue of how such storage is read, and how that affects total lifetime.
I am still learning.
That's sortof what the enlightenment was about... The enlightenment period was a decentralization of information caused by the reinvention and widespread use of the printing press in europe. During the dark ages europe's literacy rate was comparable to pre-mesopotamia. The fall of the roman empire lead to a fracturing of european civilization, the near-total loss of literacy, latin fractured into a dozen languages because priests wrote and read at a first grade level, misspelling words, reading with one finger slowly scrolling the text, mouthing each word phonetically...Ancient Greek texts were completely lost for a time...

Because nobody could read and copies the bible were sparse the catholic church was the single source of word of god. The printing press changed things. The bible became widespread and people read the bible for themselves. With that came an important shift, that one's own interpretation of a text was a valid interpretation. Tons of important literary works became widespread. The middle class valued literacy and saw it as a ticket to wealth and began teaching their kids to read and write competitively at younger and younger ages. They invented the education system we have today; the entire idea of a sequential learning system based around books, and becoming an adult when you could read at a certain level (as opposed to the catholic belief that you were an adult when you were old enough to fight at age ten), that was also the enlightenment and romantic period. Protestantism came about because people valued individual interpretations of the bible, which the catholic church had serious qualms with since that was their entire claim to authority...

So the fact that you grew up in a family which valued literacy, which sent you to a university where you spent four years reading books, and then came out of that with your own valid and rational ideas about what those texts mean, and your rite of passage into adulthood is based on your ability to read and write at a university level, that is still very much framed in the values of the enlightenment.
> This thing is 560 kW and gets a range of 86 nmi

Not even that. I believe an 86 nmi range is what they are hoping to achieve by 2025. Current range is a fraction of that. The technology demonstrator has a theoretical flight time of 15 minutes and no ability to carry passengers because all the room/weight is taken up by batteries.
Unlike virtual hosting, which wasn't possible when java.net.URL was written, this kind of DNS behavior had been around for years: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1794
Maybe a little off topic: AWS also has savings plans now, which gives a discount based on a commitment of hourly spend on compute. A bit easier to manage than RIs.
Okay, so PR isn't obliged to run a balanced budget, and they sold bonds that were beyond their ability to repay, and so the people asking for the bonds to be repaid are the bad guys here?
There's one thing in Javadoc that says it all:
`@since JDK 1.0`

Java is as good as Windows in the sense, that its standard library and set of APIs is very stable and supports a lot of legacy software. I doubt there's a real need for URL class in the new code by now, given that URI class was introduced in JDK 1.4 almost 18 years ago. There's plenty of dependencies though, so URL will probably stay in the core library forever, but URI represents a superset for URLs, has reasonable implementation of equals/hashCode and is sufficient for majority of the uses.
Chromebooks are one of the primary devices we test on (https://m.imgur.com/a/3eCnqUE)!

That's a good point tho, will discuss with the team.
I wonder if the limitations of electric flight will impact the infrastructure - big, dense networks of airports to support short range flights across the world.
That's ok. I'll deal with the loss of internet points.
Does run on repl.it work with all of the languages that normal repl.it supports?
maybe because it's such a bad idea that it's worth complaining every single time?

I tried to read it. I have no idea what the "silent killer" is. And I have no idea what a lot of the images had to do with anything.
Not really. Surprising new content has more active engagement which is crucial for acquisition ads. Revenue for pay-per-click is always better than display.
It's amazing for anyone learning to code. I run my coding school's classes off of Replit Classroom.
>For a value that includes the bigger perspective on our culture

Sure

> and what it means to live a good life

That's just self-aggrandizing bullshit. There is no class that will tell you what it means to live a good life. Anyone who thinks so is dearly lacking perspective.

>an exclusive focus on STEM is indeed 'super specialized'.

An exclusive focus on STEM will include the philosophy of science and what it means to seek truths about the physical world. IMO that has immensely more value in a philosophical sense than you seem to imply.
The big thing missing on repl.it is to use visual studio code instead of their own editor (think like Stackblitz), that would really be a game changer to be able to use one custom key-shortcuts, to use vscode plugins and so on.
Hey, I'm actually looking to hire a dev, sent you an email now.
Meh, in practice most people will use JavaScript and Babel.
Your point is well taken, thank you.

Though, presumably the FAA's tolerance for risk has also dropped tremendously over the past several decades, so I feel like the more relevant comparison is the perceived risk to the actual risk.

Although the public thinks the risk it's taking is much smaller, it still vastly overestimates the danger of flying.

I agree completely that the public thinks flying is a lot safer than they used to, which is a change, but I think they also still really overestimate the danger, which is not a change, and which I believe is borne out by the same evidence provided by the parent, people buying life insurance when it was a bad deal and people continuing to demand that the FAA make flying so much safer than activities like driving that they engage in without a second thought.

I'm also not so sure that a lot of people wouldn't still buy life insurance at the gate if it was available.

Advertisers look for a certain ROI on their ads. If Safari users are harder to target, then the absolute return on ad spend will be lower (apparently enough to offset the affluence of Safari users). The way to bring the ROI of Safari ads in line with the ROI of ads on other browsers, then, is to pay less for Safari ads.
Try glitch too, it is pretty good for demos.
I see a bunch of network neutrality confusion here.

This is not anti-net neutrality, nor is it pro-net neutrality.

It's saying:
Rather than accept the unknown path between your customers and you, pay for this service and you can use our optimized backbone reducing the amount of time your traffic is on random networks that aren't optimized for the exact network tuning you need/want.

Network neutrality has to do with public transit networks not favoring certain traffic, generally identified by having _paid_ for preferential treatment.

These folks are _not_ running a public transit network, they're running a _private transit network_ with peering points back to the public internet for access by consumers and producers.
Fyi, there's another similar project called gitpod.io

Take any github repo, prepend the url with "https://gitpod.io/#", and hit Enter

(so https://github.com/ZainRizvi/UseRWithGpus would become https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/ZainRizvi/UseRWithGpus)

That'll open up an instance of VSCode in a web browser and you can start coding
I’m saying the person in the remote area should be paid the same as in SF not vice versa.
The tax is not based on living in it. Nor is it based on the space it consumes.
Per https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-to-y... you should be able to grant the FATpick app access to your microphone from that panel.

It is likely you'll need to "install" the app (drag it to your Applications folder as prompted in the DMG), not just run the app directly.
You're correct, v-if in Vue is for conditional rendering. If the statement evaluates to false then the button isn't added to the DOM.

And you're doubly correct, the back-end better verify those requests as well. Can't trust user input, which includes HTTP requests from client apps...
IA are a capture process. Wikipedia supports active updates to content, under contentious circumstances, as well as structuring content for useful access (something IA also does, but under looser conditions).

Both are highly worthwhile projects -- some of the best of the Web. But a straight apples-pomellos comparision is difficult.

Of course I don't mean more money for existing players, but to encourage strong new hires. But good talent tends to cost money, so...
Carbon neutral biofuel or fuel made via excess solar/wind should probably be the goal.

Fuel cells might be viable too and the regulated commercial nature of planes probably means that hydrogen's storage and pumping headaches wouldn't suffer the consumer problems.

But biofuels are probably the way to go for now.

There are probably hybrid airship designs with solar panels that could do lower cost shipping. All that extra surface area from the blimp can be covered in solar panels or those fancy solar paints.
So now there's a legal definition of one of those words to confuse the issue even further! :)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been archiving the FDA.gov site at archive-it.org .

Leaving a lot of dead links on the FDA site.
Sometimes they tell you to look in the archives for the old information, without giving you a link to it, and sometimes they don't, they just expect you to know.

Now why can't the FDA afford the space to keep their pages forever on their own site? Fill in your favorite conspiracy theory...

Some of the information that has been removed, such as the 2015 hearings on Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, are important health research as just one example.

We specifically evaluated both RN and Flutter in a lot of depth. We ended up going with Flutter and could not be happier. I agree with other commenters, it seems like you had your mind made up because this is a very weak reason to use one over the other.
It definitely doesn't make sense, because two unrelated hosts can share the same IP. If you tried to fetch http://a.b.c.d/some/path, then the server will fail because it doesn't know which host you mean.

In this case, Java has thrown away the critical distinction between the two.
Savvy investors should know the laws of physics and be able to make a decent educated guess regarding what limitations are caused by fundamental limits, and what are instead the result of a e.g. any random local maximum, institutional inertia, lack of imagination, a long-standing duopoly and so on. Plus factor changing technological possibilities into this.

I don't think it's such a big deal if a few private investors lose their investment to a con, but there are a lot of smart people out there. Not everyone stated boldly that reusable rockets are impossible, that no social network could have better success than MySpace, that mobile phones had to have a keypad and only run pre-installed software or that electric cars could never be a viable competitor.
I don't think the majority of end users care much. They have gotten used to web apps more than anything, a unified web-like UI across platforms might even been seen as a positive by them.
Can you import nodejs git repos into glitch?
I could see a non-rechargeable electric battery (but refillable, ala jet fuel) such as aluminum-air maybe working.

The round trip efficiency would be similar to diesel (since you are re-smelting rather than recharging), but the effective energy density on the plane could actually be much better than jet fuel.
Imho BTC stopped being / trying to be a currency long ago. Now it's hoarded as digital gold. Which explains why it's not spent / donated as much.
Ok, we'll change to that from https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50738983. Thanks!
I feel like the word "crypto" is similarly being pushed away from its original meaning.
Who should decide on the purpose?
Yes, because your rhetoric is counterproductive. People don't like being yelled at, and people don't like feeling forced. To get change, you need to persuade them to pull in your direction, not to give you the finger.

Look, you need to say that we can prevent these deaths. You really do. But don't say it the way you did. You don't get buy-in that way.
In the case of Gmail vs. Fastmail I’m not so sure it’s a downgrade, but if you switch away from Google Docs etc. you will indeed lose things you were used to (great collaboration, speed etc.)

However you also gain something. For me personally actually three things:

* I no longer feel like the service I’m using is like a rug that can be pulled from under my feet at any moment

* My data (mail, documents, etc.) are now actually under my control and not in some “arbitrary“ format on a server I can’t reach except from my browser

* As a bonus feature, my mail is only read by me and my behavior is tracked by no one

Buybacks don't increase share value. The loss of assets used to purchase the shares cancels out the decreased shares.

I'd love to see something like this, but in my opinion, there is a reason why none have turned up. It costs a lot of money to run a social network, and people aren't willing to pay to use a social network. That means you're going to have to either rely on advertisements or donations. it's hard to run on donations unless you are large because people mostly don't donate, and many that do only donate a bit. and ads are out so unless you have a reliable plan you are going to be bleeding money and eventually die, or get bought.
Nowhere even close.

I work at one of the major tech companies. I manage a team and a production system that could cause serious trouble if it went maximally off the rails. I sleep great.

In grad school I had panic attacks. I felt like shit. My self confidence was terrible. And this was despite publishing modestly successfully. In grad school the feedback you get for your work is (as best I can tell) almost entirely random (paper reviews are totally broken). Many people either have a completely absent advisor and no mentorship or a slavedriver who expects you to work insane hours and steals your credit. It does not surprise me even one bit that a huge number of grad students have mental health problems.
I have tried switching to fastmail and it was incredibly painful. In a nutshell, Microsoft/Hotmail and possibly other providers started to throw my emails to people to spam. I've missed out on important things in the physical world because of this. I've invested a lot of time trying to debug the issue. To their credit, Fastmail's customer service was excellent and they really tried to resolve the issues but in the end could not.

Also, fastmail web UI was okay but not great. I do like the new GMail UI better.
