Thanks for the article. I agree this article may be too technical focused. However, with current JS api accessing GPU and many other hardware, I often visit site with JS turned off. It would be good to rewrite or block certain JS APIs. Maybe split JS API to categories. Stuff that change CSS color to be in group, and stuff that access GPU/WebGL and accessing hardware of the computer put that in another group. Seems like browser vendor really ought to think about that, I don't want to enable JS just so it can start accessing all kinds of stuff. But some JS to play with CSS of the page are quite nice to have around.
I'm curious what GNU considers "non free" JavaScript. If it's any JS without a "free" license, then I would imagine that the vast, vast majority of websites are non-free.

The website I work on has been in development for 3 years with more than a dozen engineers. The source code is proprietary, i.e., not free as in speech.

The app is React, so blocking all non-free JS would render the site as a blank page. An extension would have to replicate the entire front-end.

They expect volunteers to faithful replicate thousands of man hours of work for every single website? It appears to me that in making this request they didn't think through the difficulty of the task.

> unlike fire

> unlike fertilizers

Yes, we all know that there are lots of things that can kill lots of humans, we could add cars, or fast food to the list. The difference is that hamburguers only explode in your arteries, not wipe an entire city burning everybody alive, and don't create billionary debt in the process for everybody and for decades.

So, can we forget whataboutism and keep moving on?

Banning all fire or all fertilizers is out of the discussion (we could make exceptions for arsonists or bomb makers, but this is not a problem). We can't do it without killing half of the human population by hunger or freezing and would not solve anything.
Yeah, definitely still privacy / safety / legal concerns.

> The whole recruitment process seems broken from end to end and has been for a while.

Exactly this. The most depressing thing to me is that whenever I suggest to my colleagues that 99% of the work we'd hire someone for anyone with half a brain could learn in a few weeks (I work in an office for a big company), they still insist on listing all sorts of required skills. Even though the people we land with job adverts like that don't usually have the skills and then get hired anyway.
When somebody eventually wants one of your domain names, do you sell it for roughly the total of your holding cost, thus making the author of TFA happy, or do you sell it for as much as you can get?
This is true. I think that being redpilled is cringe, for example.

Because if I write specific JS for my site, that is not 'free' either.

Note that the article is talking about licensing. Whether or not your JS code is 'free' depends on the license you've applied to it. In the case of sites that use things like Angular or React the user knows that code isn't using a permissive, open license, so the folk at GNU are attempting to block the code coming from the server, inject their own code that does the same thing but more freely, and still have a working version of your site. It's an interesting idea albeit perhaps incredibly not-useful if you don't care deeply about software licenses.
Recently I signed up for YouTube and it's weird that I get a lot of Sky News items presented to me even though that is very far from my usual preference. So I click the "not interested" but still those things come back every couple of days. My guess is they make more money from people who are fond of sky news type content and will keep pounding away in the hopes of finding or converting their users to that kind of perspective. On the other hand I've never had BBC news or PBS news items show up in my lists. So there's one anecdotal data point.
I meant:

- send components to ISS

- assemble

- subtly nudge the container to a different orbit

- wait for it to do the experiment and catch when the orbits meet again. Or if that's too hard just wait for results to be transmitted

>What's good is that these reactors can run on anyones waste and Russia already imports nuclear waste from Europe.

You should not mix returning spent fuel rods back to Russia and Uranium tails which Russia processes since it has a more efficient enrichment technology. Often when you hear about "Russia imports radioactive waste" in news it's about the latter and it's a blatant fearmongering. As for the former it's good deal for Russia (since with a right technology such as fast-neutron reactors you can produce new fuel rods from them with a minuscule amount of long-term waste) and for the world (since it contribute to non-proliferation, you don't want storage facilities of highly radioactive stuff which can be easily used for production of "dirty" bombs in every country which has a nuclear reactor).

Yes and no. The GP probably knows the story that "lede" is a more recent spelling than you might think. e.g. This[0] article from Merriam Webster says "Although evidence dates the spelling to the 1970s, we didn't enter lede in our dictionaries until 2008." It says the different spelling was introduced to differentiate it from lead (the metal) which at that time was talked about often at newspapers re linotype printing.

That article links to this[1], by Howard Owens:

"It was then I realized, there is no historic basis for the spelling of a lead as “lede.” “Lede” is an invention of linotype romanticists, not something used in newsrooms of the linotype era."

He says he looked at books from the 1940s - 1980s, "The fact is, in none of the dozens of old journalism books that I have examined — none of them — spell it “lede.” I can’t find the definitive first reference to “lede” but it doesn’t start appearing in journalism books until the 1980s. .. It wasn’t until linotype was disappearing from newsrooms across the nation (late 1970s and into the 1980s), that we start seeing the spelling “lede.”

The safest conclusion, then, is that “lede” is a romantic fiction invented by those who were nostalgic for the passing of the linotype era."

Nice work! let's see the progress...

Please no. A TL;DR is just enough for the busy. The Dolphin report even shows more screenshots and diagrams at least.

We have already seen how complex the reverse engineering, booting, discovery and bring up process of this M1 chip running on Linux is, which the first step is already a complicated hellhole in itself, because its Apple. For explaining all of this, you need diagrams of the whole process which would be much better than us deciphering all of these CPU internals / peripheral technical soup.

Just put a TL;DR at the top next time or some diagrams for those interested in helping out.

Other than that, great progress.

This definitely could be probable cause. When I was a teen I witnessed such fire once. Basically a friend had a heater but couldn't find any mains cable and eventually decided to disconnect mains cable from the radio and use that. After few minutes the isolation from the mains cable melted away and the cable turned glowing red and it started burning the table it was on. Fortunately we were not asleep and got it under control quickly. Lesson learned.

> Thanks to Uber you now can seamlessly hail a ride to wherever you are. Thanks to AirBnB you now have a great alternative to hotels. Thanks to Amazon you can have every item on the planet cheaply shipped to your doorstep. The world is better for these companies' existence.

The world is better for these companies' existence? That... that remains to be seen. All of these companies are exploiting workers -- it's not just me saying, the UK has recently ruled so. Uber deliberately circumvented the law (google for greyball) which should be a crime but you know, big companies are not pursued for these things criminally. And so forth.
So I think this would be for knowledge intensive workers, who can currently work from home if they want.

For businesses with big property and equipment costs I agree - you can't operate from a different location.

Luckily, the biggest and newest businesses are not machinery heavy (haven't seen anyone touch the photocopier in a while). Footfall etc are less of an issue - this only applies to the retail sector and frankly a smaller and smaller part of it!
> This is because you lack the most overlooked and most difficult to teach skill in investing: empathy.

Everyone is lacking empathy, that is not limited to the profession. Empathy on most parts comes from your own experience and understanding, and everyones horizon of experience is limited.

> Twitch.tv is something that amazed me that it became so big. I don't really play video games. Who would spend hours watching people play video games?

Which is strange, considering how many people watch sports. And most videogames are nothing else, just more focussed on mental skills than physical skills. But the main selling point of twitch is IMHO not people playing games, but the interaction twitch offers alongside this. Twitch in that regard is more like a sportsbar or a local sportsfield, where everyone meets, talks, interacts while some do stuff on the side.

The more buzzling part for me are youtube-videos of people playing stuff, because those are missing the interacting and it's just like watching a very poor movie with low production-value.

> I think one can't be a good investor without constantly developing ones empathy because the appeal of various things is difficult to grasp intuitively without a person who would be the customer in mind.

Yes, it's a given that you need to understand the thinking and problems of customers if you wanna sell them something well. Just throwing stuff at them might work, but more efficient is to understand what they want and what they need, and then build and sell it specifically to the targeted customers.

Similar like in a game you need to understand the abilities and weaknesses of your enemy to slay them. That's why marketing and reasearch exist.

The most interesting concept is "Build & Deploy" and it's a pity that it isn't described even on conceptual level.

I think the "Build & Deploy" for configuration management is the right thing, but it looks like Ansible is not very good tool to implement it (and honestly, I don't know any mainstream tool that is really good at it).

I was trying to implement it as follows:

- part of a role is executed locally, building all the configuration files from templates (build);
- configuration built locally is rsynced into dedicated directory on target server, deleting unnecessary files etc (sync);
- part of a role is executed remotely, setting up symlinks from real configuration paths into synced dir and running all necessary actions (restarting services etc).

Yes, it's possible to write Ansible playbooks and roles that way, but in practice you are permanently struggling with the default Ansible playbooks and roles organizational structure.

I believe the only devops tool that really supports this style of things now is Nix and all the infrastructure around (and conceptually it's perfect, but in practice it has it's drawbacks).
I agree with you. SQL allows for a much larger set of possible unknown-at-design-time queries as the data is broken down into atomic units.

With a document store, you often find yourself de-normalising and copying data to new collections on-write to deal with the limited query language.

This means your writers often implicitly encode the possible queries.

As an example, in Redis if you need a 3 way join/filter, you will either a) have your application read all the data and filter it or b) maintain the filtered collection via writers copying the data.
Oracle support is a contradiction in terms.
So this would probably decrease the cost of maintenance - as well as increasing the reliability and speed.

there is, I think, a pretty strong correlation between reliability of a solution and the future maintainability costs being lower.

Certainly seemed fairly different to me when I visited - I was more used to northern Italian food.

NB I should have been clearer - I don't mean that the food seemed spicey in absolute terms, just that compared to other Italian food I had tried there was a noticeable use of some spices.

Edit: Also possible I was selecting the spicier items from menus!
Same for .ie for Ireland, though it's a bit looser. If it's of interest to the Irish population or your personal interest as a member of that population.

The Japanese buildings are absolutely not energy efficient. They are horrible in terms of energy efficiency and durability.

Not to mention, the homes in this article represent something like 0.01% or less of actual Japanese prefab homes. Most have very few windows, which are very small. The interior spaces tend to be fairly small as well. Not these open styles.

This is all due to earthquake planning. Studies have consistently found lightweight exterior walls with lots of interior support are most likely to remain standing in a severe earthquake. The small windows reduce weight and are also more efficient since the sun in Japan will roast your house in the summer if you have big windows.
I'm from center ( Sardinia ), we also do Aglio, olio e peperoncino. We do use spicy peppers, but I must say they are not so common, majority of recipes don't use them but some people add them to taste.

Well, France is a bit different in this regard, they indeed have a great expertise in fuel recycling, but the parent comment was talking about fast-neutron reactors such as BN [0] and BREST [1]. Reactors like this not only can "breed" fuel, but also can "burn" the waste as well, thus drastically reducing amount of waste which has to be buried and it makes the waste safer as well, since it will not contain those annoying minor actinides with half-lives in the range of 1k-100k years. France had the Superphenix project [2], but unfortunately it got shut down without a successor...

Well yeah, in a democracy popular opinion will force you to do things if you want to win the next election. If you want proof that Merkel's instinct wasn't entirely wrong, you can take a look at the results of the 2013 election: her party (CDU/CSU) gained 7,7 points to 41,5 percent, while the FDP, who were seen as representing the industrial lobby, dropped a whopping 9,8 points to 4,8 percent (and out of the Bundestag, because a party has to get at least 5% to be represented there).
