Not sure what you mean: she's pretty famous from having won the Abel Prize (and being the first woman to do so).
That was my thought process as well.

If these guys can't seem to make a decent living off their own applications, that's not a good sign.
No, torque has nothing to do with mass. Even making the level "massless" would not change the applied torque one bit.

I find rejection notices do wonders for people. Even better, rejection phone calls that allow for questions. The downside is that, being based in the U.S., there is a litigious danger lurking in every word written or spoken in those setups.

> I personally disagree with people who disable JS and expect the web to continue working as expected

In a general sense, I agree with you.

But pages that are generally static, like a blog or news article, should still work.

I think it's completely reasonable that the animations in the linked article break with JS disabled. Could they have been done differently and had graceful degradation? Yeah, I suppose. But I think it's fine as-is.
Thanks! Good to relax~~
Why would that make European valuations lower? I don't understand the implication.

Why would more transparency depress the value of a company?
At some point the article states that money "might just be a choice", but I think the article itself is pointing to the evidence it is not.

The git economy in a village and the one in a community of friends have something in common. Another hint is yet in the article when it states "it's hard to imagine a gift economy working to build skyscrapers and iPhones".

It seems pretty clear to me that the problem of a gift economy is that it doesn't scale.

As long as every person in a group knows each other it is fairly easy to keep track of gifts given and received. This becomes impossible as the group grows and the number of people each person has to keep track of grows with O(n).

Of course you can divide a big number of people into groups and have those groups use a gift economy between them by having leaders keeping track of gifts given and received between groups.

And of course can also have multiple levels of subdivision. But the problem becomes clear. The system is quite centralized and there is no direct way for someone in one of those groups to exchange goods and services directly with someone of another one without the good or service going up the command chain and down to the other side.
Sorry for the out of the blue unrelated reply, but I am currently stuck working as a technical consultant at one of the Big4, how did you make your way out of this? I feel like I am learning about antiquated technologies, and that pivoting to a software engineering job more aligned with my interests, skills, and sanity feels harder every day. Even something like you describe you are doing now sounds much better than what I'm doing now. Also I know exactly what you are talking about with the marketing and PR talk it is insane.
This has been going on a for a long time now. I remember working as an installer for a high end AV company in the early 2000's. We installed pricey home theaters and distributed audio for the rich suburban folks.

I remember several "planned communities" where they had small strip malls on the outside of the community, and then it was all high end craftsman and cape cod style houses on the interior. They had removed as many streets into the main center of the community as possible. In order to get to two of the houses we were working on, we had to park several hundred yards away and walk in to the houses.

Sure, it was awesome for the kids as they could go about their business without fear of high speed traffic, but it was a royal pain to heft in all the wiring boxes, tools and other stuff we needed to do our job. I also noticed, all the houses were reduced to two car garages. When I started talking to one of the owners, he gave me a litany of things they had to agree to before being able to build their homes. The strict building codes forbid three level houses, more than a two car garage, and each lot had to leave a strict percentage of "green" space - aka grass on each lot, and you were required to have a porch (you know, to encourage "community" and bonding with your neighbors) which also had a bunch of requirements you had to meet. There were other ones, but those were the ones which always stood out to me.

In short, they were trying to create some kind of a movie like community in every sense.
They may see the costs of wolves without seeing the benefit, whereas other Coloradans would see the inverse. It's hard to say who has the correct full picture.
That's the point of the EU - defend interests of the union of relatively small countries against giants like China. NATO is only suited for military action, and who knows how long it's going to last anyway.

Also, probably the point of whatever the fuck Russia is doing with the EAEU (really should've picked a better name if they want it to stick).

It's a bit of a leap to assume that behavior like that is evidence of nefarious activity; ask yourself, if you were implementing some sort of secret signalling layer, would you design one that uses simple English words, and whose failure state reveals its presence?

Consider the other cases - it could be something like an anti-spam system; back when MSN Messenger was a thing, it would abruptly close any conversations in which certain virus-related keywords were said (mostly including ".exe", which is how I discovered it), presumably in an attempt to stop them spreading.

Or it could be a bug - there have been plenty of these, from simple strings causing mass IRC disconnections, to eerie conspiracy theories (see "bush hid the facts"[0], a conspiracy caused by a bug in Notepad).

Or it could just be a bit of debug code accidentally being triggered. This past week, I had to explain to some users why a website was talking about "DEAD BEEF". The reason was innocent (glitch in a web server config), but to the end user it was incomprehensible.

All that said, if you want to investigate further, it's simple to disable iMessage on iOS devices. If you go to Settings->Messages, there's a toggle for it.

I can take handwritten notes and sketches on my tablet while in splitscreen with a second app (slack, browser, mindmap, video lecture, whatever), and can't imagine trying to do that on a phone.

Switching to a laptop wouldn't do well for me either, typing notes has never helped me learn or remember anything, and I can't draw on it. With a Surface/Yoga/similar you get the option to draw on it, but I used to have a Surface Pro and it's frankly not a very good tablet.

Even if you have a stylus with a big phone, it's more of an equivalent to a moleskine style notebook. Certainly has its uses, but it's not a replacement for a full size pad of paper.

I have a tablet, so I would never buy a big phone. If I want a device so big that it requires two hands to operate effectively, I might as well get my iPad out.
It's hard to get data. Countries were explicitly allowed to ignore/not report military emissions by the Kyoto Accords. Without the mandatory reporting anyone trying to write about it has to gather a lot of information about the inner workings of military logistics (amount of tonnage moved by what method etc) that the government is quite reluctant to provide.

People tend to consider philosophy/strategy in way more generalizable terms than tech words like "print". But what if Sun Tzu wasn't really all that generalizable?

What if he was literally telling you how to put an arrow through the eye of the enemy general? How do you write a self-help book "based on The Art of War" out of that? (You can still derive general meaning that wasn't put there by Sun Tzu, but it's a lot harder!)
you're right, they should go with the alternative of grabbing a few color swatches from Home Depot and hold it up to their company photos.

The usability is perfect for me, but I recognise that different use-cases may vary.

It forged my sense of aesthetics, though (alongside BeOS).
One thing I dislike about this new trend is it supplants true community spaces. There is a downtown in the suburb I live in now but it is a place no one other than junkies and homeless go. A few business cling to life there but I don't know how since there is no foot traffic.

Some development company created one of these outdoor malls about 10 minutes outside of the downtown. It has a cinema, a few big box stores (including a Walmart super-center). They even got it right with mostly underground parking giving the outdoor mall a high-level of walkability between stores that have fronts directly on the wide side walks. The security keeps all of the undesirables away and there is a public playground for kids. It's like the commercial equivalent of a gated community. I find it unsettling and I wish we took public money to revitalize the downtown rather than creating these segregated spaces.
Five Eyes sees all
having millions of encryption algorithms out there would be inherently more secure than a lot of people standardized on one

Enclosing letters in paper the thickness of which has a million variations doesn't mean one of them is magically more secure than one made from two inch thick steel. The point of encryption is it's a standard that needs to be interoperable. Also, NSAs of this world aren't breaking modern ciphers. They're circumventing encryption by going for the keys: There's three choices

1) If communication system uses TLS-encryption (e.g. Telegram cloud messages), there's no need to break encryption, just hack server and read messages from there.

2) If the system uses E2EE where user has no way to verify fingerprints (e.g. iMessage, Confide), compromise the server legally or by hacking it, and perform undetectable MITM attacks.

3) If the system uses E2EE where fingerprints can be verified, hack the user's endpoint to steal their private keys and perform undetectable MITM attack (or just steal their chat logs or take screenshots).

So, to sum it up, the game when modern ciphers are used, is not with cipher security, but everything else around it.

This is a really important point. I agree WFH and other forms of flex-time is a critical option in todays workplace, but it's not for everyone and everyone needs to be aware of your coworkers state of mind and capacity for self-discipline.

Sometimes it's just "hey...you seem to pretty consistently miss the early meeting...you good?" or "you know you haven't been hitting it like you used to...but you seem to be killing it in EVE Online". But I've been through an employee where it was performance falling off->odd behavior on calls->slurring incoherently on calls->intervention->short term disability. Fortunately, recovery can work and they're back. In the office.

That's what I'm talking about in the beginning of the post. 'firefox|Web' captures 1 one less process than `--full /usr/lib/firefox/firefox`. That one process is 0.1mb in my case.
I made the migration to Microsoft To-Do and to be honest it's pretty similar in terms of features. There's some nice integration with O365 if you use it at work where flagged emails and tasks assigned to you in Planner end up in To-Do as well. They really just need to add support to the macOS and mobile clients that let you switch back and forth between a personal Microsoft account and a work-related Office 365 account. That functionality seems to only exist in the Windows 10 client right now.
This is incredible, and apparently every other post on that site is too.
Given that this is something that is talked about as a phenomenon, a psychiatrist encountering a congenitally blind, schizophrenic person would be really inclined to publish a case report... (e.g. not a 1 in 600 chance, and people with chronic mental health conditions tend to encounter more than one psychiatrist).
The realization that there is (a) a double coincidence of wants and (b) this can be solved with some sort of currency are absolutely questions already answered if not intuitively than explicitly by money in modern society, as are related concepts like debt and interest. When someone talks about the double coincidence of wants being a myth, they are not referring to the obvious fact that this is a problem money solves, but that this reason, alone or primarilty, is the reason money, as a world-historical concept, came to be in all societies.

I think there is demand for smaller phones -- it's just that not that many people are willing to give up a large display for it. That's why we're starting to see manufacturers coming out with foldable phones.
How would a complete opening be safe to traverse with a 50 cm difference between opposite sides of the dam? I'd think that'd create quite a strong current that would make it very hard to exit the Med.

That's fair point. I interpreted your comment to mean that she was unduly unrecognized in the academic world, but I agree that venturing out into the wider world, she's probably not well known at all.
I'm on the fence. But I would add that the low renewal price of .com domains makes the prices asked for many domains unrealistic. Because they see an opportunity to just sit on the domain and gamble that it might become more valuable.

People want a thousand dollars for long, not great domains. If the renewal was higher, I think "market price" would be a little closer to market.

Perhaps a higher initial fee and then renewals would remain the same. Then at least it would discourage future squatting without putting a burden on small time users.
I think sharing numbers at this granularity is fun for readers, and I, like others enjoy digging into details, but to frankly, it may not be so good for the companies in question.

It provides too much data and insight to competitors. I wonder what the rationale is. Perhaps attracting visitors makes up for the risks.

Just my opinion.

GTK is terrible, Gtk-rs is putting a lipstick on a pig. I need 2D rendering but also power to touch the gpu to write a shader, to use gl_VertexID when I feel like it.

The thing about rust is that that I can legit write my own bindings for any lib written in c/c++, anything else.

Like you go from zero to dependency included, building in less than 10sec. The build process is insane.

Check out this port of nanovg https://github.com/sunli829/nvg. NanoVG is a popular project with many contributors, this port is a single person project that's better in many ways.

With rust you literally just do

"git clone https://github.com/sunli829/nvg"

"cd nvg/nvg-gl"

"cargo run -p nvg-gl --example demo-cutout"

You go from git clone to drawing something interesting to screen in 10 seconds of human time (there might be some time spent building dependencies but whatever, I don't need to touch anything).
Is workflow import on the roadmap if you’re authenticated to your low/no code provider? With many, you can get the workflow out as a JSON blob their own frontend consumes.

"by far the largest weak point"

Well, if the nested ciphers are all properly implemented AEAD schemes, use unique keys, and don't rely on public key crypto for key exchange, cascading crypto is fine.

Other than that their discourse was that of a novice, sure.
It's a bit more than just a convention, since `git log` has lots of formatting options that rely on that first line being the title/subject.
It's not really just convention. Git commit messages map directly to emails for workflows that don't use web UIs like GitHub, with the first line being the subject and the rest being the email body. That's how you mail a commit to someone else for them to review it or incorporate it into their local repo.

If you don't format your commit messages properly then they'll just be a sloppy mess in any email-based workflow (like what Linux uses).

And the first line is the only line that's displayed in contexts like `git log`, so it truly is the commit summary even if you aren't emailing commits.

I always have a pile of fiction near at hand, but I'm relatively good with getting through those. My non-fiction pile is the one that gathers the most dust...
Wildlife management is a direct consequence of environmental laws. Laws are created (normally) by Politicians. The majority of american politicians with any relevance in the last 100 years supported fire weapons, therefore hunting (because weapons were created to allow good citizens to hunt vermins and game. Aren't they?). I assume that for a politician in US, to reject weapons in public 50 years ago would have been social suicide.

Ecologists and biologists did what were allowed by the current laws to do, and what were hired to do. Not more, not less. There are around 22 american people trying to save the last 15 american vaquitas or so. Their ships are shooted and harassed rutinely for removing illegal nets.

When the animal will go extinct in a few years, we all will see how some people still blame on they. I'm 100% sure of that.

This is a good point. Earlier drafts of my post did include "the unbelievable depth and complexity of the modern technical stack" as a factor. I deferred it until a future post because I think that we accept that we don't fully understand the systems and stack because of our incentives. Imagine if the stakes were much higher: if our software was hooked up to pacemakers that stopped pumping blood when the software was down. This isn't so crazy: people who design airliners go on the test flights. We would band together as an industry to produce guidelines and recommendations around safe ways to run sites. We'd quit rather than work on a doomed project for a paycheck. Any work would require something equivalent to expert certification and design validation at every layer of the stack. We'd do everything in our power to avoid creating these emergent systems. But the situation is reversed - in many circumstances, the cost of failure couldn't be lower. We tolerate the fact that we don't understand the emergent systems that we create because it doesn't matter enough for us to care.

But I don't want to make it sound like I'm dismissing you're point. You're right and it's super important. I think there's a better angle that I can use to explore this. It might be "Why do so many websites get hacked and lose our personal data?", but I feel like that doesn't fully capture it. I have to think about it. But this seems less relevant to the election case, which is what I wanted to address - that these projects fail because "launch and iterate" has become so ingrained in our process that it's difficult to recognize when it doesn't apply.
But it is voluntary. The power disparity doesn’t force anyone to do anything.

The True State of Java and Its Ecosystem
That's how startups work pre-acquisition. Your acquisition price is dependent in part on how "large" the company is, that is, how many employees you have. So the companies start out small, hiring only the folks who know what they're doing, but as time progresses and they start thinking about selling themselves, they hire a bunch of people who have no clue whatsoever, just to pad the numbers. Surely a 500-person company is worth more to the acquirer than a 50 person one, even if those people just slow the core team down to a crawl. Or at least that's the idea. MS itself isn't really a paragon of productivity, so the visible improvement in productivity is quite telling.
Given the choice I'd much prefer a device which texts but doesn't have a "phone" than the reverse. The idea of a phone which doesn't text just sounds frustrating.
I’d prefer that to the unwinnable war on drugs.
None of those use cases apply for authentication though right? Or are people using emojis for logins now? Even if they were, standard browser form input I’m sure would handle them fine natively.
