There are tools to handle that - like FB Purity. Of course, not using it is always an option.
The irony here is that we can transmute other metals into gold nowadays, it's just absurdly uneconomical:

> but it's one of the many consequences in living in a democratic and diverse society.

A democratic and diverse society that's structured such that the costs of the negative externalities that result from individual choices are born by the broader community and not the individual. In this particular case, the most immediate and obvious examples include air pollution and associated consequences, as well as additional wear and tear on public roadways.

Of course, the solution to negative externalities is always the same: tax the behaviour (in this case, fuel taxes, taxes on large vehicles, and tax breaks for car pooling, transit, and other similarly less damaging choices) so that the costs are born by the person engaging in said behaviour.

Naturally, whenever folks are asked to pay for these externalities, the reaction is an immediate and passionate rejection of "big government" curtailing "freedoms"--in this case, the freedom to make everyone else pay for the consequences of their choices. Why? Because people want to engage in the behaviour without having to also own the consequences. While that's a form of freedom, it's an irresponsible one, born of a uniquely self-centered conception of "freedom" that bears a striking resemblance to narcissism.

Pity the lack of basic economic education prevents people from understanding that they're free riding on the rest of us by failing to pay for their damaging behaviours.

It's especially ironic since these same objections are often associated with individuals who would decry the welfare state, which similarly involves society bearing the costs to support individual behaviours; it's just much more honest about it.
That article I linked is definitely not written for beginners, but I do find its notation more intuitive. But that's only because I'm used to working in the notation of geometric algebra, so using it for Maxwell's equations makes sense.
Again, this has nothing to do with software being always online or not.

Great looking software existed long before the rise of everything being always online.

Nice work!
Great fan of Rails but man, that’s a lot of bloat. Last time I used Rails it only came with jQuery. Live-reloading was an exotic thing, quite difficult to setup. Now it seems to be enabled by default, explaining some of the stuff in there.
How do I use robots.txt to tell google to not add item to the shopping cart?
Basically, yes!

In practice, we don't advocate users to reach out for dispatch, as Hyperapp intends to provide all the fx/subscriptions building blocks you need to create the right abstractions and stay within the safe, declarative side of things.

The reality is, though, that crafting these building blocks takes time and thought, so we don't have them all yet. But people in the community have created fx/sub libraries that are already available, see e.g. this one: https://github.com/okwolf/hyperapp-fx that

Auto charging someone at the end of a free trial is a scam. I don't care that it's commonly accepted, it's still a scam.
Zuckerberg and Sandberg are Jewish, and Soros really is a billionaire who funds all sorts of NGO's and has financial interests in all kinds of things, so I think it would be pretty hard to make something stick.
Rails 6 by default includes webpack to bundle assets for production. Aside from webpack, several of the top 10 on your list are libraries that ensure a great user & developer experience across browsers:

- babel transpiles ES6/7+ JavaScript syntax to the least-common-denominator of the browsers you designate as supported by your application

- core-js provides implementations of features that are not supported in older browsers -- things like array methods that cannot simply be transpiled

- caniuse-lite is a database of supported browser features to determine what needs to be transpiled and when

This toolchain allows developers to write code with the latest language features (which usually results in simpler, more elegant code) while seamlessly supporting legacy browsers as needed. If you decide to drop support for an older browser, you can simply remove it from your browserslist instead of going through all your code to figure out which hacks you put in just for that browser. It takes a ton of cycles out of development googling "can I use feature X in browser Y".

Prior to Rails 6, asset precompilation was powered by Sprockets by default. Sprockets still bundled many analogous libraries, just hidden in ruby gems instead of node_modules. For example, if you want to use SASS then you need a library that compiles SASS to CSS -- whether it's node-sass on your list or the sassc gem.

As noted in other comments, very little of this code is actually loaded in the frontend by end users.
> This is what I don't get about pickups: all the time that I'm not hauling stuff I'm still hauling around that big space.

By that logic you'd buy a vehicle with no trunk, since you're hauling around that "big empty space." Or a vehicle with only a single seat for when you have none or fewer than capacity passengers.

You're just arbitrarily distinguishing an outdoor trunk space from an indoor one, and claiming one is wasteful without actual justification. If anything an outdoor trunk has less vehicle side panels, glass, mechanics, and weight therefore less drag: Making it more fuel efficient for its relative size.

The complaint reads like: "It is different to here, therefore I assume it is wrong."

As I said I've lived in both for tens of years, what is popular in the US makes sense for the US, and what is popular for Europe makes sense there too. Without considering the big pictures (e.g. size of roads, size of homes/apartments, parking, quality of public transport, etc) it is difficult to grasp.
I've put a 4-port SATA controller in mine and use it as a NAS. Haven't benchmarked it but it works well.

If you agree "naming is hard", then most names are by definition pretty bad... At best, this list is random, and at worst it's the set of terrible names people gave up on and allowed to expire

The point that many are making is that this is a myopic view of research. Why is the generic goal to optimize against some particular dataset? That ends up being a narrow and unhelpful goal.

As someone put on Twitter : we should be rethinking the meta learning algorithm of the ML academic sphere, and a leader like Yann is the kind of person who should be spearheading that.
I get the impression that Belgians are going to be the next IPA. I'm seeing lots of mediocre ales slapping on the "Belgian-style" moniker with nothing in the bottle that justifies their claim.
>More and more, the exhaust smells really ruin any fun or use of vehicles for me.

What vehicles are you driving/living by? Vehicles made in the past 10 years have virtually no smell once the engines are warmed up unless something's wrong with the catalytic converter.

Deplatformed: Social Media Censorship and the First Amendment
There’s a difference between opposing something because I don’t like it versus opposing something because it has substantial negative effects on other people. Solo commuters in huge cars increases traffic danger, pollution, or congestion. If I value not wearing a mask in public businesses, you would be justified in opposing it.

This is not “I enjoy having my house painted orange but my neighbors don’t like it.”
Journalists are lazy and PR people are sneaky. Whose fault is that? Why, of course, Donald Trump's!
I used to own a Chevy Prizm and packed it with all sorts of stuff – including carrying a huge whiteboard on the roof – so I agree that strategy works.

But what's nice about having a truck now is that I don't really have to try. I can just plop most things in the bed and go. You're right that it's not 100% necessary, but it's a great tool when you need it. That's one of the reasons they're so popular where I'm from (Georgia).

100%. My car is completely equipped for the vast majority of unexpected scenarios that I could plausibly run into while going about my life. Impromptu road trip? Check. Camping? Check. Got held up in the middle of nowhere and need a meal? Check.

This isn’t just idle fantasizing; I actually use these capabilities all the time. It’s hard to imagine how much flexibility a well-equipped vehicle gives you when you’re living in a dense urban center without a car (which is how I often live a few years at a time).

And, of course, having a high-quality SUV makes the logistics of my equipment-heavy interests way easier. I often have to lug around scuba gear, ski gear, big rifles, power tools, etc., and often on extremely shitty roads (muddy, potholed, iced, you name it). This would be completely infeasible with a non-“aircraft carrier” commuter vehicle.

This is a great reason to want to work at a company.

"I specialize in X technology and I see that you use X technology as well and I believe my expertise in it can help your company solve problem Y, and in particular I'm looking to join a company of Z size because blahblahblah"

Yea you have to stretch it a little bit sometimes, but that's life. You don't get paid to write code, you get paid to solve human business problems using code, which comes with the baggage of dealing with humans.

The community was great - I still talk to some of the folks from the chat rooms I used to mod. I loved the dev community that sprung up around the site, too, with useful userscripts and assistant apps.

End of an era. Thanks for all the memories, Kongregate.
Sometimes I wonder how much of the weirdness in alchemy was due to people getting mercury poisoning and similar problems while experimenting with unsafe techniques. There's a long history of chemists poisoning themselves when discovering things.
Well if you have it behind an API in the cloud, how is it going to be transferred when you sell the car? Having it in the car means it's guaranteed to follow the car regardless of who owns it or where it is located.
Genuine question, is this not considered a DoS attack?

Let's imagine I have my online stock linked to limited physical items/assets, ex tickets for a show, which will get reserved for a period of time. This will be preventing genuine clients from buying them.

Huh, I've actually seen a move against that. A few years ago, the "West-coast style" IPA with enormous amounts of hops was the vogue beer.

Today, you're much more likely to see a "New England IPA", "hazy" or "juicy IPA" in the star spot. This style is much less bitter, with a bigger body and a ton of sweet juice notes. It's a heavy beer but man is it tasty and refreshing.

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing is a good example of the style that's widely distributed. Almost every craft brewer has one or two offerings of their own that are typically just as good.

I'm not much of a hop head but the New England style IPA is by far my favorite on the market. I'd encourage you to give it a try before swearing off IPAs forever.

Probably not the first and definitely not the last time that idea will be tried in sci-fi (and out of).

I can't recall what story but there's one where operations people have twice the usual complement of fingers.

There's also a guy who hacked the interface for his prosthetic arm to directly control a sound board. Why go analog-digital-analog-digital-analog when you can skip two steps in the middle?
"rapidly depleting" fossil fuels narrative has fallen off a cliff in recent years. Oil became so abundant this year that at one point the price went negative.

Ancient diesels or newer “deleted” diesels - all floored for maximum exhaust it seems. Also just other big vehicles. Garbage trucks, delivery trucks, etc.

But even the fumes from my hybrid are a noticeable bummer if I’m out of the vehicle.
>Again, probably 0.0001% of Users will so even if you give them the option.

It depends on the implementation. A good example for user control is Pandora. Not hard at all to control what music I'll hear.
I think cultural defensiveness is a strange phenomenon. The musical tradition that grew into jazz survived centuries of the most brutal slavery, but now it's the basis of most of what we hear in our day-to-day. Ultimately, cultural values that work will win out, and art that is beautiful will shine through. No amount of political pressure, violence, boundaries and borders can change that. You can't mandate that people should buy bratwurst, or read Horace, or go to church - but equally, if your values are good values, they can only be suppressed for some time, before they spring up in new forms and new places.

In China, they are conducting a great experiment in suppressing and controlling culture. Perhaps it will work - perhaps not, but I think you could only really achieve such a goal with such means, and moreover, I think such means are far more insidious and corrupting than any kind of foreign influence. Sheltered culture becomes irrelevant, then idiotic, then it becomes something only idiots and fossils can believe in.
Have you ever owned a full-size pickup? They really are nice. Still, they are too wasteful to be a good choice with our current environmental issues.
I almost spit out my coffee when you mentioned TALEB as a stoic, much less a member of the “big three”

He’s as far from stoic as I can possibly imagine. His hairtrigger easily offended argumentative twitter presence is maybe even more sensitive and reactive and thin skinned than trump.
This is great, but most of these don't seem that pronounceable to me.

It's better to press Esc twice. Otherwise there's a risk of terminal emulator interpreting a command as an escape sequence.

Oh, by all means, things should load faster today than what we got with floppy disks, and response should be faster than what we got in an interpreted program in a 8MHz machine.

It's just the load time of cartiges that aren't a fair goal.
Where u at bro
I apologize for my harsh and uncharitable reply.

However I still believe that if any other corporation were forcing developers wanting to offer free trials to use the "billing details up front, autobilling" scheme, far fewer people here would defend it. I see those sort of schemes as incredibly scummy, similar to the sort of tactics gyms or used car salesmen might use. It's a form of 'dark pattern.'

If this is truly about a consistent user experience, Apple has gone about it in the worst possible way. They should instead forbid collection of payment details when signing up for free trials and require auto-renewals to be opt-in. That would make for a consistently positive user experience, rather than a consistently hostile one.
:D Great. Glad you like it.
If you have any ideas for improvement, just ask and I'll see what I can do. This is my first real side project in a long time and I'm a litte enthusiastic about it. ^^
Because bots will do it at a much larger scale than individual humans. The first law of web robotics applies here: the bot should not harm the website it's crawling, or through inaction allow it to come to harm.

I didn't read the article due to the paywall, but I assume that the problem is that the problem is that these goods are reserved for that (non)-customer until the shopping cart times out? That is directly costing the merchant money, either in lost sales or having to maintain extra inventory.

So yeah, that bot really should have been programmed to end the session with an empty basket one way or another.
Jump starts have always been a crappy approach IMO. I think a small hand-cranked generator into a decently-sized supercapacitor could be a much better way to kick over a motor. I feel like you could get a reasonable jump start with just a minute or so of cranking. Certainly faster than waiting for someone to find their jumper cables or drive out to assist you.

Keep in mind that this is already sort of a thing for cars with manual transmissions. In this case, the proposed supercapacitor is replaced by the kinetic energy you are pushing into the car.
So the problem is not the size, but that you want to have a single cache of all the npm modules?
That has nothing to do with robots.txt, the problem is doing things in response to GET requests. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you do not do things on GET requests.
Leaving SSH bastion hosts behind
Agreed.

There's also those fold into floor seats in some minivans, and you can buy a correctly sized mattress online to turn them into a sleeper. They're definitely very comparable to cargo vans in Europe, and I've seen small businesses use them as delivery vehicles with no modifications.
Sure, except that the language used to generate the makefile is substantially harder to read in a lot of cases. And it doesn't tell you important things such as how libtool paths are configured or what paths are included in the gcc commands. These aren't that important unless you're cross-compiling for a system that doesn't have the same libc, libgcc, or library set and for which you need to set a "sysroot." Different projects have different ways of doing this, and sometimes a project will use something that sets sysroot appropriately for libtool but then doesn't generate the --sysroot command for gcc.

For historical reasons Cross Compilation against a different root filesystem for a different target architecture is somewhat of a second-class citizen in most automake/autotools build systems and you really do have to read the makefile output to figure out how they've configured their particular instance.

Just because there would be some democratic input doesn't mean there would be total democratic control. I think that's a pretty un-substantiated slippery slope.

There's just not really any good way to play it anymore.)
That's an insane analysis. Without the vehicle, the population would be a fraction of what it is and you probably would have never been born.
