I feel the same way when Italians talk about pizza. Everyone knows it originated in Korea.

Spoiler: If you live in Korea long enough, you start to develop the sense that Koreans think everything was invented in Korea. This is obviously not an accurate reflection of Koreans, but Koreans love to share what is unique about their country. This makes it hard not to joke about the idea. And it's enjoyable to see a Korean company making light of the idea.
I think it's not just rethoric. E-commerce was the thing that brought money to the Web, that let it grow up and grow big. And the vast majority of these transactions were made by people sitting before monitors with a browser on Windows.
I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned from how acid rain and holes in the ozone were ultimately treated. There was definitely more signal in the empirical evidence of a problem, but those have been largely mitigated through regulation (and spending my summers doing HVAC work in the 80's and 90's, through some painful steps).

Yeah, I confused myself and put an edit in there. I first thought it was just ignoring the Z then giving out a UTC object. Now I realize it was doing what I expected it to: parse correctly and hand out a local time.
I would like to read more on this, do you have any further references?
I'm a big crypto hater, but honestly this seems like a nothingburger. Difficulty will go down, other mining pools will expand, some of these machines will get shipped to other nations. Unless they all literally got confiscated by the CCP and immediately set to work on a hostile attack on bitcoin this isn't going to lead to a 50% attack. After 6 months mining will probably be about back to where it was.

The only way this would be really bad would be if it led to forced liquidation on the open market somehow. As long as China is happy if they move their machines and bitcoin and maybe their persons out of the country then I don't see how this changes much. Even if they start arresting people that doesn't directly lead to bitcoin being dumped. Now if the CCP confiscated many billions of $USD in bitcoin and then dumped them on the open market all at once just to nuke crypto because they were sick of it, that'd do it.

Every time someone brings up the GIL and performance, the answer is pretty much always "use a different language for the places you need especially high performance". All this sturm and drang about Python not being performant enough is missing the point. It's not supposed to be the answer to special cases where maximum performance is required! It's a general-purpose language that is built around community and easy readability and elimination of boilerplate, and be good-enough for a vast majority of usecases. Just like any language, there are usecases where it is not appropriate. Clearly, it has succeeded given its significant reach and longevity.

Pretty much the same reasons why I also moved to Kubuntu. I fix computers for a living and even I found it a comfortable switch and actually find using Linux preferable to Windows 7. A lot of the command-line tools I use are faster and compiling software is a cinch. Thanks, Microsoft, for making my job easier.
It's funny it's called quake mode when it could be found on existing mainframe systems before quake release; it really tells how Quake popularized the idea.

I remember seeing it on the operator terminal of a GCOS7 mini-computer back in the early 90's, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could be found on earlier systems, perhaps even by other makers. It was quite convenient as the terminal was mainly dedicated to monitoring the system, with a quite detailed display of the processes and resources usage, so the command line wouldn't take any of the precious screen estate when it wasn't needed.
If you wait for that, all diabetics will be dead probably…
Agree. The tests are silly, but each test highlights a gotcha that you might bump into while debugging some horrible heap of legacy code.
If a government has a monopoly on violence, then its citizens have no recourse to correct an evil or corrupt government. History shows time and time again that this is the case. In the case of the USA -- I don't think anybody here should want our government to have a monopoly on violence, given the USA's violent history. Trading such liberty for a sense of false security is unwise, in my opinion. The USA's founding fathers knew this.

Human effort and attention span are still limited quantities. There are so many more libraries, frameworks, utilities, and doodads, that it's easier to plug something together from lego blocks rather than craft (and debug!) a custom solution that is both efficient and small.

I know what an ECS is. Components are decoupled from systems (not not visa versa) but the actual behavior of an entity is defined by the set of systems that run on the set of components so in that sense the set of components defined what the Entity is including it's behavior. An Entity is defined in terms of it's data and it's data brings along behavior.
Agreed. GP mentions 1000ft/hour being "hilly" but thats something like 1000ft in 1000000ft at serious cyclist rate, so averaging 1%-ish. Obviously it's unlikely to be uniform, but doesn't really support the argument. If you are on a 10% grade for any length of tim you know it even if you are a pro.
I really wish this would be a higher priority for the current class of billionaire philanthropists: open source science.

Medical research guided by the idea of preventing disease rather than creating expensive life-long treatments, and prioritizing the diseases that cause the most amount of suffering rather than present the best opportunity for profit. And not just medicine, but just about any industry could benefit.
No, corporations (especially Amazon) are intentionally, aggressively creating and selling a surveillance network. They're actively pursuing law enforcement contracts.

Smart doorbells, as long as they're not hacked, can be private to their owner. Most of the companies selling them have chosen to add revenue by creating that surveillance network and selling them to governments.
I've seen it once or twice.

I'm curious how trends will go in the future -- maybe next year will be all about artisanal small-batch ketchups, who knows -- but it wouldn't surprise me if ~everyone who likes ketchup on things is perfectly happy with Heinz 57 and ~most people who want something else for their burgers, fries or steaks want something different. BBQ sauce, mayo, mustard, sriracha, guac, mole... and not just "ketchup, but better".

Like, imagine your friend excitedly dragging you to a new restaurant, where they serve their house-made fries with ________. The world of things that can go in that blank is so large I have a hard time imagining "artisanal ketchup" being the thing that wins out.
One thing that helped is it became the standard in pretty much every Pho restaurant I've ever been to. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but if definitely makes any alternative brand seem inauthentic.
Cloud storage. I didn't expect people to use this for confidential knowledge, to be honest.
AFAIK many mail providers have disabled password authentication via IMAP/SMTP. They force you to go through oauth flow (ie. opening a webview to log in).
Yeah that's a good point. I also mentioned having a social shaming method where, every time you text and drive, it automatically posts "I'm currently texting and driving" on social media.
I wonder then if "vegetarian" will be expanded to include lab grown meat or possibly a newer "labatarian"? "I like green eggs and ham." has a new meaning now.

Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by most of the western world. Hamas now runs the government in Palestine. Sounds like check mate by the israeli's to me. Palestine fucked up by letting a terrorist organization take over their country.
Our reforms are fundamentally market-based. We work with companies to develop policies that commit them to the values that they think ensure their ability to pursue their mission long-term. It's not one-size-fits-all and ultimately investors will judge the results. I think you'll see a diversity of companies and views on the exchange, just as you see a diversity of views among our own investors and employees.
Maybe a better choice would be to use a DateTimeOffset.
> The Google process pre-empts DCMA, that's the real problem

The reference to federal law wasn't to the DMCA safe harbor, but to the repeat-infringer termination rule. The Google termination process fulfills that requirement rather than preempting it.

> Congress has already considered fraudulent claims, but Google has/will not.

Insofar as the first part is true, its only in the sense that Congress essentially gave carte blanche to fradulent claims since the only consequence for false takedown notices apply only to the assertion of ownership or representation of the owner of some asserted copyright, not the part where you claim that someone is using the copyright protected material in an infringing manner.
> And it's for excellence, not accidents.

It so happens that many, many seminal discoveries in science are accidents. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background is probably one of the more popular examples of this, and certainly didn't get in the way of the discoverers winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.

So, from Chrome mobile, I searched for "springsteen anti-vaccine". The first carousel entry is a CondeNast property, vanityfair.com, with an AMP lightning bolt icon.

I click it, and get this: https://imgur.com/a/2W3oWSW

The top bar is Google controlled. The url in the omnibar is a google url. So I'm not seeing how Conde Nast is a good example here. Before they very recently rescinded the requirement, using a non-Google AMP cache meant you didn't get into the carousel.
But starting from which timezone?
The headline is click bait and does not accurately describe the content of the article. To be specific, China doesn’t like the mining of Bitcoin in China. And I’m sure there’s no shortage of other countries that would happily take that industry of their hands. And now that Bitcoin mining has more incentive to go green than ever, I’m sure many countries would like that.

China has not declared that its citizens can’t HODL Bitcoin. Doing so, would be a huge impediment to Chinese wealth. Bitcoin and other forms of crypto will most likely be worth in the tens of trillions, maybe even north of 50 to 100 trillion some day, now that fixed income is finished. :(

If China won’t allow its citizens to hold part of that wealth its a huge impact on their country’s wealth.
Haha, exactly what I came here to say.

New – John McAfee had a ‘suicide note’ in his pocket when found dead
Exactly. From a business' perspective (and according to IBM's own study so this isn't conjecture), Macs are significantly cheaper in the long term, and only slightly more expensive in the short term if even.

Also, when it comes to management for a small or even medium sized business, look at Apple's approach to management: https://www.fleetsmith.com . Dead simple pricing, dead simple UI, and they provision your devices out of the box without any manual setup. You can just buy 50 MacBooks, Apple will automatically ship them set up to your employees for no charge, and you'll pay a several bucks a month per device for management.

Now compare that to how you manage a Windows deployment. By comparison, it's unintelligible. You need to upgrade every device to Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise as part of a contract to join a domain, set up a domain server with Active Directory to have a user store, add connects to connect the Directory to the Domain which may or may not require a Windows Server, which may or may not require the arbitrary Windows Server CALs, and then you have to manually set up and wipe each device out of the box unless you managed to get a special deal with the OEM...
I can see how that would be an attractive acquisition! Although having a camera installed to watch the driver might be a bit of a pain.
You realize there’s no captchas or fingerprinting on this site right?
This post sparked nice discussion, but let's also acknowledge that slashgear is just regurgitating a PRnewswire article. I would take the statements with a grain of salt.
> Climate policy is essential to the engineering work of decarbonization, as it can make the costs of new energy technologies plummet and shift markets to low-carbon alternatives. People often underestimate how much human ingenuity can be unleashed when it’s propelled by market forces.

Propelled by market forces and by policy forces. Policy can provide a temporary push to get technology over a hump of development costs and scale up, but it's a really hard social problem to maintain in the long term. The real challenge for engineers is to build an eco-friendly technology that's cheaper and more desirable than the alternative; in that state it can basically free-fall forever under the push of market forces.

Why would you drive a gas guzzling, high-maintenance old car when a Tesla has lower lifetime costs? Why would you run a noisy, smelly generator outside your camper van when you could put silent solar panels on the roof? Why would an energy company burn coal when a wind farm puts out more energy for less money? When new tech is both more desirable for the end user and for the planet, that's when it really takes off.

I think the fundamental question we need to ask is what technology could be developed that would lead to market forces pushing carbon sequestration. Even if forward-thinking governments work together to develop sequestration-pushing policies, amoral actors will be perpetually incentivized to defect. You can't win that fight forever.

> Making 1 tonne of cement lime releases about 1 tonne of CO2. If all the CO2 emissions from cement manufacturing were captured and pumped underground at a cost of $80 per tonne, we estimate that a 50-pound bag (about 23 kg) of concrete mix, one component of which is cement, will cost about 42 cents more. Such a price change would not stop people from using concrete nor significantly add to building costs.

But it will perpetually cost more than a bag from an unscrupulous manufacturer; the economic incentive is to reduce that amount. Also, a 50 lbs concrete bag only costs about $2.50, so $0.42 is still a significant fraction...and at non-homeowner usage rates of an 8-yard/32,000 lbs truck with a cost of about $1,200, that's a nontrivial price jump of $270. People will still use it, sure, but they're not going to be happy about it. Instead (or in addition), we need some kind of industrial-scale technology that makes people want to pull CO2 from the air and put it in the ground.
Tether, stablecoins are among 'financial stability challenges', Rosengren says
And like Heinz Ketchup (although apparently it's a regional thing, Hunts is popular in some places and there are other versions), the statement "without a trademark" makes no sense. Like, neither company owns "Sriracha" or "Ketchup", but both definitely have trademarks on the other parts of their packaging and names.

And Heinz has a Sriracha Ketchup.

>. Once you factor in capacity planning and sourcing of quality chillies

I believe Huy Fong (as of 2016) and Tobasco (As of much earlier) run their own pepper farms. Tobasco takes those three years to age in vinegar. Siratcha does not have an aging process I am aware of, it goes straight through the commercial kitchen and into bottles.
> Climate Change is first and foremost a political problem.

Politics can't deal with long-term non-greedy policies.

Therefore, it's not a political problem.
The global Tamil diaspora is boycotting Amazon Prime serie “The Family Man 2”
With azure's success, windows is no longer microsoft's most profitable product/service and it hasn't been for a long time. Chromebooks got a small but stable fraction of the education and laptop market. Many activities that required a desktop can now be more easily done using a smartphone, tablet or smart tv. Web services are, by definition, multi-platform; making an OS-specific features unneeded. The set of reasons to use a desktop won't disappear but it is still getting smaller and will continue to do so for some time.

It is a matter of market demand... windows is no longer as valuable as it was and will eventually become a second class legacy product. When that will happen is hard to predict.
> Careful. Functional is often harder to debug. The very "state" functional likes to avoid is often an excellent x-ray point(s) for debugging.

Wat. Yes, if your bug relates to a certain state, then you'll have to debug the state, but (a function or a program) being stateless means automagically avoiding all bugs relating to state; thus you don't need those "x-ray points". Also, you don't need to know whether a given function mutates it's argument or returns the result (or both), which is a pain in JavaScript, and even with Common Lisp's sort "function". If your language is immutable by default you just never have to watch out for accidental mutations. No "x-ray" needed, because functional programming (done properly) shouldn't be a leaky abstraction.

Exactly the kind of thing that I am still afraid of to this day. :)
As a vegetarian, I always have a moral dilemma when choosing dietary supplements. Perhaps I don't have to face these dilemmas if I can include lab grown meat in my diet therefore obviating the need for supplements. But having been a lifelong vegetarian, it still feels odd. Objectively looking at it, lab grown meat seems to be a good idea. I'm not entirely sure of the "morality" or ethics of it. Will take some getting used to, but if this gives rise to innovations in the synthesizing of supplements such as collagen then I'm all for it.
this. I think because they don't have the same physical effects of most addictions, they're perceived as more innocuous - but the sheer amount of time spent and then disruptions to physical activity and sleep schedule are monumental. when I stopped gaming, I changed careers, moved across the country, and began knocking stuff off the bucket list. Changed my life fundamentally.

The trick to it, for me, was to accept with humility the fact that even a little was more than I was capable of handling. Recognizing that five minutes of a mobile game could spiral out into weeks of gaming and that there was nothing I could do to change that.

He said the web grew up on Windows. Internet Explorer invented XMLHttpRequest, paving the way for interactive web pages that can dynamically fetch data.
The name for the variable is kind of weird, it feels a bit like Java (having 25 years of history to account for). I wonder what the Kotlin for JS will be.

We looked into this extensively before deciding to pursue an exchange, but found it just isn't workable. Investors simply don't believe a "certification" is especially binding, as companies can easily undo the certification at any time.

People today think of exchanges as just platforms to facilitate trading, but historically this is not how they used to be seen. Exchanges have always had a dual role, as avatars of corporate governance as well as sources of liquidity. We are trying to bring that balance back into the financial infrastructure of capital markets.
> So as far as popularizing the web for the masses and developing the de facto WWW so many people experienced, I think the earlier DOS and other Unix browsers like Mosaic were more instrumental, with Internet explorer and Netscape really "birthing" the web we know.

In 1995 windows was at his birth. The majority of people used other protocols than http to explore the internet. I was searching for a DOS browser to run it on the university computer (DOS diskless) to see the new web. Then MS bought Spyglass (or something) and they destroyed Netscape by bundling IE with windows. Windows did not bring anymore the web to the masses than netscape, chimera and others did. They just happened (as today) to hold a monopolistic position on the market and exploited this position.
The Temporal proposal is dramatically better than moment.js (and Luxon, the better version of moment). It accurately models a much wider range of time based concepts, and draws on (mostly just copies) the last 30 years of developments in this space from other languages (mostly Java)

"Desirable result" isn't particularly well-defined due to the variability of personal taste. Like, one useful skill for a home cook is to read a recipe and think something along the lines of "I think I'd like that more if it had more garlic".

"In 1996, the iframe tag was introduced by Internet Explorer; like the object element, it can load or fetch content asynchronously. In 1998, the Microsoft Outlook Web Access team developed the concept behind the XMLHttpRequest scripting object.[4] It appeared as XMLHTTP in the second version of the MSXML library,[4][5] which shipped with Internet Explorer 5.0 in March 1999.[6]"

This was Microsoft's single biggest contribution to the early web. Everyone likes to hate on IE but actually it did include a lot of innovation.
A lot of knowledge isn't contained in books. For one thing, companies have no incentive to publish their so called trade secrets. For another, books are often conceived as supplementary reference material for people who are verbally taught "information." The books are not intended to function on their own.
I hope they use the lethal force on you
This concept is a recent legal development. It’s not obviously correct.

Whether or not you think it’s correct, the obvious and inevitable conclusion is that the web will be siloed off and cease to be a global network.

You can still keep the OOP attributes of your code while embracing FP, there is nothing mutually exclusive about these two paradigms.
