Patreon income may not be, but Vue-based income should be.

This company focuses on development of Coldbox, a ColdFusion-based framework still in active development. If they can support a team and still continue development, Vue should be good for a while

Some actual holocaust survivors do not, and consider it similar to their lived experience, not hyperbole. (https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/06/19/a-d..., https://www.thedailybeast.com/holocaust-survivor-yes-the-bor...)

This is a point of record; no need to hypothesize.
I've always wondered about people who take smartphones to the bathroom. Unless I am desperately sick I don't think I spend long enough on the toilet to even get through the first two lines of marketing blurb on a shampoo bottle before "I'm done."

I think boredom is good for us. Personal opinion. Though I am terrified of being bored. So I go find a productive distraction. But I also think, again, personal opinion, people are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts.
Why is IE11 support still important now? I can't find exact stats on it, but it seems <2%. Surely projects which still want to support IE11 could still stick for a while with Vue2.
I'm confused: How does the executive branch have the right to unilaterally edit app stores? If Trump says "I'm sick of Barron playing CandyCrush at the dinner table, let's just ban it" can he do that? How? Shouldn't this require legislation?

As an American, this seems very... "unamerican".

Oof, that's painful. Airlift here has their choppers programmed with all the VHF and UHF frequencies for effectively every county in Western Washington.
What happened to the implementation of a Scheme interpreter in Linux from quite a while back? I can't immediately find a reference, and don't remember details. I vaguely remember there was something similar for SunOS too (in the '90s?).

> But I'm increasingly looking at the current situation and saying, "does it make more sense for my future games to just be Windows/Linux?"

This is where I'm at. I maintain a couple of open source apps for macOS, and have a few cross-platform apps that work on Windows, Linux and macOS.

I'm reluctantly looking to discontinue the open source Mac apps because recent versions of macOS lead users to believe that un-Notarized apps are either broken or malicious.

When it comes to the cross-platform apps, I'm considering just not targeting the OS at all, anymore. Most people use Windows on the desktop, anyway.
Actual executive order re WeChat: [1]

This is under the Emergency Economic Powers Act, which derives its authority from the interstate commerce clause in the U.S. Constitution.

> It's a Kindle Fire in my case. Which offers some of the same distractions, despite being lower power

A Kindle Fire is an Android tablet with a bad launcher and no Google services pre-installed. If you're not reading books that need a tablet (color, animations?, illustrations you want to zoom on), you'd probably do better with an eInk Kindle. They have a web browser, but at least the ones I've had, the browser is so terrible, it actively makes you not want to use it.
Is 8k really noticeable vs 4k for text?
Walled utopias soon become hells that block innovation. Incompetence of parents you mentioned is no reason to advocate closed gardens. I hope Apple gets struck with monopoly rulings like MS did.
Looking at these comments I'm realizing I might be an outlier.

If I'm traveling to an area I've never/rarely been before, I'll use turn by turn navigation the first few times.

But once I'm familiar with the area I just look up the specific place for the nearest cross streets before I leave.

I kind of assumed that's how everyone navigated, minus taxi/delivery/other professional drivers who probably use GPS more.
They didn't say it is not effective but that it is unreasonable for most consumers. Most consumers aren't running smart switches and somewhat advanced access points with multiple VLANs and configuring the firewall to control traffic flows between the VLANs. They're running an ISP provided router/modem/combo unit with no VLAN support at all.
Just give it to them as a free account, I expect the account would be tied to the professors email address for a record.

I would print up some cool stickers of your logo and send them to the professor to handout to the students using your API.

Maybe give them a tutorial on ways to limit/cache API requests so they don't overload your servers.

Good will like this could go a long way leading them to recommending you when ever they can in the future.

Everyone loves stickers they will end up on their laptops and computers and will be a reminder to use your service in the future.

I'm guessing you don't have many Chinese friends, if you do I would recommend asking them how important it is for them.

It is an essential form of communication for the large community of Chinese citizens in the US. If you have any Chinese friends I can promise you their families are worried about how they are going to keep in touch. It's also heavily used for intra-US communication in various Chinese communities. In the NYC area there is almost an entire other city available to WeChat users.

It's a big, and I do believe intentional, 'fuck you' to the Chinese community.
React and Vue can both be used directly with script tags, however the biggest difference is that React uses JSX while Vue uses HTML templates (but also supports JSX).

99% of the time, HTML is easier and faster to write, with the built-in directives providing all the functionality you need. More importantly though, HTML can be generated by every single server-side framework, and this makes it very easy to have server-side code from any language stack that becomes interactive using a Vue client-side layer.

They use the local network environment as yet another input into the tracking/stalking algorithm to both track you and also track others (let's say you are on the same network as someone else and the social network doesn't yet know the association, based on network data being the same the social network can infer a connection between both of you).
Architect Serverless Framework 7 released

You didn't include the sentence right after the one you quoted from that first link:

"However, for areas of widespread transmission, with limited capacity for implementing control measures and especially in settings where physical distancing of at least 1 metre is not possible – such as on public transport, in shops or in other confined or crowded environments – WHO advises governments to encourage the general public to use non-medical fabric masks."

Sounds to me like although they don't have 100% gold-standard RCT evidence to say that cloth masks reduce transmission by this %, they still see it as the single best method to prevent spread of the virus under 'real-world' conditions.
Was this also not true of Standard Oil and AT&T?
Two things can be true at the same time. In this case, that the malware authors are responsible, and that the hospital/management were negligent.

Negligent circumstances seems controllable, whereas having no bad actors in the world (particularly the international world, including rogue states) seems nearly insurmountable.

Every time this happens, I'm going to keep saying the same thing: Management let this happen. The dangers are known, the risk mitigation is known, and their failure to act is tantamount to negligence. This didn't "have" to happen, they allowed it to happen.

But as I said at the start: Two things can be true at the same time, management's negligence let someone die and the malware authors are responsible for the death.
This is what I do if I'm walking, but I mechanically follow the GPS if it's on and I'm driving. Means I have no clue where things are unless they're in walking distance.
I think skepticism is warranted, but dismissiveness is not. Honestly it's a little offensive.

Also, in this case their findings aren't even counter intuitive or that surprising. They are just measuring something that most of use believe already (judging by the rest of these comment threads).
> Different people have different standards.

This is about as weaselly of a response as you could have given. That different people have different standards is irrelevant. What matters is the truth of the matter. Notice that I didn't say the truth is always known, easy to know, or even knowable, but there's a stark difference between the idea that there is a truth of a matter and "it all depends on whom you ask", i.e., there's no fact of the matter, just "different standards".

The Nazi comparison is just poisoning the well (with the tacit presumption that Nazi experiments are evil). I won't dwell on it.

Pointing out assumptions, even when correct (I'm not saying you've properly identified them, only even if you have), does little to advance any argument if its not followed up with some effort to show those assumptions are false or dubious.

The question here is about what is morally permissible in human-animal relations. Rights enter the picture as well. So one could most certainly argue, as Oderberg[0] has, that we are not permitted to be cruel to animals, but that animals nonetheless do not have rights given the preconditions he identifies for rights. Indeed, pre-Cartesian thought is in line with this thinking (i.e., that cruelty toward animals is immoral; note that it was Descartes who reduced animals to unconscious, dumb meat machines).

Apart from that, there is something absurd about the attempt to cast the use of animals as some dreadfully immoral act without having made humans special in the first place. Nature is full of exploitation that doesn't seem to bother those campaigning for animal rights. The praying mantis that consumes prey alive. The crocodile that rips prey apart in a terrifying display of beastly power. The emerald cockroach wasp that uses another animal as a host for its young. Primates can also be quite nasty, tearing the limbs off living, defenseless young members of their own species. Are any of these animals being immoral, at least in those cases where the gruesome action in question is not natural to their survival? If you answer "no", you must give an account of why humans are special. I submit that what makes us different in this respect is that first, we have the capacity to understand what we're going and its immorality, and second, we have the capacity to choose otherwise.

> One question that no one is able to answer me, how does doing business, investing time and skill earn you "profit" while spending that same time and skill in investing your money and getting rewards is called "interest" and that gets shot down?

The difference is profit/loss guarantee. If as OP said you invest your money, you are bound by risk of either losing your money or making a profit. On the other hand, your money sitting on the bank account earning interest while you are not at risk of losing, but only of profiting is considered haram.

I really hate seeing articles like these. There are many reasons why groups may not choose to participate in the endless technology death march that is updates and instability.

Is the new fancy tool reliable? Does it truly fit into its adopter's workflow? Is it faster and simpler and more reliable than existing tech? Or is it just shiny and backed by some idiot VC and they're trying to push adoption prematurely?

This idea that its bad that something or someone isn't high-tech needs to die.

Quotes here generally look like the above, the indentation thing is meant for code and abused to show quotes.
Frontend JavaScript is sandboxed and you can't really disable it without crippling 90% of websites.

node.js code can cripple your system way more. So this does not really seem surprising.
One of the proposed benefits of 4G/5G is that they can make microcells that can do exactly that, with the client devices being regular phones.

I wanted to say that Microsoft explicitly says to use the full argument label and not omit them when writing PowerShell scripts but I can't find the doc.
It makes perfect sense depending on how you look at it. If you look at it as a question of quality, and Apple wanting to keep a high bar for quality, it looks scatterbrained and ineffective. If you look at it as Apple trying to wring all the money they can out of the market, then it only makes sense for them to focus all their attention on the apps that are good enough to actually make money.

If Apple truly cared about keeping the quality high in their walled garden, and it wasn't just about extracting all the money they could, wouldn't they do both?
Half-life alyx is wonderful. I cannot praise it enough.

I played too much half-life in my college days and think of it as fun campy sci-fi. Stuff like press e to move this dead body is suddenly this viscerally horrific experience.

You picked up a box of matches accidentally? Read the label. Found a pen draw something.
I agree, but I selected the Fire specifically for PDF reading, and its support for AnkiDroid and Rosetta Stone. And it was a lot cheaper than any other tablet I found.

And yeah, the browser is pretty mediocre so it's not a huge distraction, but it is a distraction for me.
Could you comment more on how it's done?
Ban is a heavy word. Can Google issue command to android phones to stop running some particular program? For example as a security measure to stop malware? I think that Google have that ability, even if that malware was side-loaded. Apple definitely can do that on Macs. That feature could be abused to prevent running any forbidden program and side-load won't help you.

Android is still better than iOS in that regard, because it's open source and you can disable anything. Just side-loading might not be enough.
> Asimov’s fictional future [in the Foundation series] didn’t need computers to predict its future—just geniuses, making magic with their formulas. The difference between Asimov and Simulmatics was that Asimov knew he was spinning a fantasy. People do not behave as predictably as billiard balls or water molecules.

This so fundamentally misrepresents the Foundation series that it causes me to doubt the rest of the article. I realize that it's pretty tangential, but it's literally in a book. If the author doesn't get facts right when they can check them at their local library, it's hard for me to trust their accuracy when it comes to the genuinely hard stuff.

Or, for that matter, forget checking their local library. Just reading to the end of the _summary_ of the Wikipedia article[0] would have gotten them this quote:

> A key feature of Seldon's theory, which has proved influential in real-world social science,[3] is an uncertainty or incompleteness principle: if a population gains knowledge of its predicted behavior, its self-aware collective actions become unpredictable.

"It also helps that I'm not being sold anything - I feel like everything and everyone is doing that nowadays, and it's exhausting."

I build interesting projects, and then I reach out to various connections on LinkedIn to show them the neat project. Yes, it is marketing myself, but not really. "Here's a neat thing I built. What neat things are you building?"

I preface every outreach with "There's no ulterior motive. I'm not pitching anything. I'm not selling anything."

Yes, technically, there is an ulterior motive. If I show you this fascinating geejaw I built, at some point, five years from now, you may need my skillset and think of me. But I'm not trying to sell you on that.

Without variance, every inbound message I receive on LinkedIn is someone trying to sell me something.

We may have experienced different kinds of latency but in my experience i havent noticed much of an issue when using chat vr. I may be biased as i am keen on vr going mainstream and looking back at the times of dialup i cant help but wonder what would happened if we waited for fiber optic before using the internet, because it was laggy. So it may suck for a while but its just fine - no worse than a laggy skype call 5 years ago.
IE11 is still heavily used in some industries, such as healthcare. Browser statistics services usually don't pick up on a lot of IE11 use because it's on internal networks.

I wish I could ignore IE11, but the reality is that I can't.
> That's simply not what occurred, here. Nobody at Apple blithely decided randomly one day that they "didn't like" Epic.

This was a response to an anecdote from a user working for a company that isn't Epic, a company that was punished by Apple for an arbitrary reason. As a result, they couldn't use their in-house apps on the hardware they purchased because of Apple's decision. According to that user, that decidedly did occur.

There is plenty of evidence from developers all over the internet, and even here on HN, of Apple arbitrarily removing apps from their iOS and Mac App Stores, and of Apple arbitrarily enforcing rules.
The only way to free up the memory is to close firefox. Closing tabs doesn't do anything. I can 'killall firefox' and then reopen it to the same 50 tabs, and the memory usage after they're loaded again will be several GB lower.

I don't know if you count memory exhaustion as a 'crash' per se.
I agree that Apple lets too much crap into the App Store. But to be clear, that’s not an argument in defense of Epic. On the contrary, I think Apple should be much much more restrictive in what third-party apps they allow on iPhones.
>For context, I'm gay, so my very existence is against many religious systems laws.

Not really, there are no punitive consequences for merely being attracted to the same sex, but there are for acting upon it publicly. Furthermore the law doesn't interfere with what's private nor is it allowed to breach the individual's privacy.
Someone who doesn't wilfully disrupt the social order should have no problems in that regard.

Those inside the intelligence community knew we had no evidence for WMD and that the evidence being put forward as "maybe" was based on bad information from bad sources. Remember when Scoot Libby went to jail for outing Valerie Plame because the administration didn't like the critical op-ed her husband wrote about the whole yellow-cake uranium thing? Or were you like 4 years old back then?
>Watch the latest Triumph bit from the Colbert show to see the mentality of Trump supporters.

Not a defense of Trump supporters here, but do we know how many were edited out that intelligently spoke on issues to form the Triumph bit? Without that, you can't really make any determinations. On top of that, the sample size is likely very small.
I saw people selling iPhones with Fortnite installed with some premium. That story might be repeated.

It's rare that I'd use it in a script. Perhaps I'd use it for a script whose main purpose is creating an archive to be widely distributed. Then the info might be of interest to the script's user.

But your comment brings up a good point about the difficulty of deciding what short flags truly are widely known. I assumed anyone who uses gzip regularly would know "-v", but maybe that isn't true.
