No, I know this, I was talking about exposing FFI to Elisp, for loading dlls/shared libraries which I assumed "dynamic modules" referred to. IIRC RMS said that this would encourage writing Emacs extensions in non-free fashion and distributing them as blobs instead of in the form of source code.

I think the person you are replying to meant symbols when he said "pictures".
People aren't copying the text but the symbols.
Even if the symbols were more picture-esque there wouldn't be information loss unless the symbols were too complex.
That's because pictures are a form of text.
If you didn't know what the hay, a starving black child or a vulture looked like it would just be modern art to you.
Most of text is 2D.
What is usually regarded as text is just a collection of simplified and arranged 2D symbols.
What is usually regarded as a picture is collection of unarranged non-simplified 2D symbols.
1D text would be more like morse code.
Thanks, I missed that bit!
Thinking About Adaptive UI’s Part 2
At some point, you will complete school, your friends will go their separate ways and you will lose access to university resources. At that point, you will need a decent salary to pay for living expenses, support a family and all the other things you wish to do in life. If your startup consists of even a handful of people, competitive salaries/benefits start to add up and those "millions" won't seem as much any more.

What you just said made no sense. You're saying that "precisely the situation where you'd be even more inclined than normal to use 've'" is the situation where you know the gender of the antecedent.

To the list of reasons not to torment your spellchecker, add that.
I've tried to get the Chrome extensions Facebook history-deleting tools to work and noticed that Facebook is prone to using generated gibberish instead of actual CSS class names. I wasn't sure if that was simply a part of/side effect of their minifaction process, or if it's intentional. In any case, they seem to periodically change the gibberish class names that the Javascript targets, breaking all the tools that try to simulate user actions on the FB website.

Will this extension fall prey to the same fate?

How to Build Your Hardware Startup – Course Signup
Ok - they didn't lie. They made an egregious error. I know this seems like a distinction without a difference, but ethically speaking, there is actually a pretty big difference.
We have state and national organizations which are supposed to prepare for large scale emergencies. They do practice.

"real need to lock down say two states"

Please don't use "lock down". Not only is it tainted with the hyped up fears that schools have to be scared all the time (have you considered what should happen if a fire alarm goes off during a lockdown?), but the correct term is "quarantined". I even linked to the laws regulating quarantine.

"most armies will tell you preparation beats most everything else."

That's begging the question. Are there useful mass-scale preparations? You haven't demonstrated even that there is a predictable way to handle all possible pandemics. We could find out that a pandemic is carried through cat fur, and that the best response is to kill, shave, or vaccinate all of the cats. How do we practice that?

Remember the anthrax attacks? The government gave advice on what people might do in case of attack, including sealing a room with plastic sheeting and duct tape, and suggested that people should stock up with those materials.

Did you do so? Do you have a pile of plastic in storage somewhere in your house. It's only effective if you can put it up within the first few minutes of a biological attack. Have you practiced doing so? What about your neighbors?

Why do you think any mass advice for possible pandemic would be any more successful?

In Switzerland, nearly every home has a bomb shelter, and there are inspections to verify that the shelter is in working condition. Why don't we have those same preparations here? Even in the bomb shelter fads during the Cold War, it wasn't a law and there were no government inspectors for the US. Why did we not do those preparations? Why did we stop doing duck and cover drills?

It's eminently reasonable to assume that your position doesn't hold in the real world.
Mathematical notation is text.

That’s a stretch, no? Mathematical notation is textual in the same way that, say, a flow diagram, an org chart or the structural formula for a chemical compound are textual. That is, there are textual glyphs in the visual representation, but the positioning and the other symbols are important to the meaning as well.

Can you type a mathematical equation on a keyboard, represent it unambiguously in a standardised character set, put it under version control, diff it, merge your edits with those of a colleague, still have something you can display reliably at the end, and then go back a decade later and search your archive for a specific equation? Not with any tool set I’ve ever seen. It’s still difficult enough just representing non-trivial mathematics on a web page so that everyone can read it.

Speech isn't.

No, but one of the advantages of textual representations that has been offered in this discussion is that textual formats can be used as inputs to screen readers and the like for improved accessibility. So again, I think this points to the inadequacy of purely textual notations as a way of representing complex information.

I was a dedicated conkeror user until ~4 years ago and loved it.
The webjumps were a pleasure to use, the Google I'm feeling lucky jump was a particular favorite. Having everything scriptable and being able to add my own specific functionality had great potential, I dug a bit but never really used the full power that I'm sure was available.

I started using conkeror after a shoulder injury that was being aggravated by mouse use, it was not particularly pleasant at the time but left me much more mouse-independent after I'd fully recovered.

I eventually left Conkeror because of a few hassles, I remember trying to set it as the default browser was not very simple, and just trying to get it (and XUL) installed and running would sometimes fail. This is a nice reminder though, I feel tempted to track down my old .conkerorrc and give it another roll.
I do see your point, however sometimes it is a good thing to let everyone know about it, so they're able to do something about it.

For example, my manager even heard about "shell shock" and prompted me to do something about it. Although, it was over a week after the outbreak, and we'd already established we weren't vulnerable (applied the patch anyway) - but even so!
I am the founder of another open source project (https://erpnext.com) and we monetize from the end-user (non-developer community). This is the community which values hosting services else they would need a third party to host your product. If you identify that group, they are more likely to trust your service rather than go with someone else.

If you have a product that is targeted squarely on the developer community, it is hard to monetize unless you are a platform (i.e. GitHub). On similar lines, Wordpress makes money from bloggers, not web designers, hence the "hosting" service is value for money.

Do you target end customers for LocomotiveCMS? Look at your hosting customers and see why they signed up for your hosting. Identify a niche and focus on marketing to that niche.

Blog posts like this will definitely help. Wish you all the best!
Totally different incentive. Spotify only needs protection that's enough of a pain the the ass to make it easier to just get the content from somewhere else or perhaps just pay the $n.99 for it.

Snapchat is full of (supposedly private) information that is not available anywhere else. Attackers will be far more determined.
When a man sees an ideal male, he aspires to be that man, like James Bond

When a woman sees an ideal woman, she makes a tumblr about how that ideal is not real, or not what men want, or a crazy obsessed person who hates themselves, etc.

Men climb the mountain to reach the top.

Women complain that there is a mountain top, and declare wherever they are to be the new mountain top
Good reports are hard, I've not found a good open source solution for anything other than basic reports.

Last year I migrated 200+ reports from Crystal Reports to Microsoft ReportViewer Control.

Telerik Reporting is a product that we considered but didn't go with as we had the Microsoft Server.
Earlier comments are already critiquing the author for suggesting that exercise is a bad thing or that particular exercises don't work, but that perspective misses the point. The author isn't criticizing exercise itself, but she is instead observing the almost religious focus on suffering that happens to be embodied by approaches such as Crossfit. I admit to being puzzled as well.

I am perplexed by the degree of what I might call fitness elitism that exists in a nation as fundamentally unfit as the US (I'm American, BTW). I'm seeing a lot of comments about how simple exercise isn't effective and HIT is a necessity, etc. HIT is great, but it's a pretense to suggest that running, biking, or aerobics that raise your heart rate without being tortuous are not also effective exercises that can drastically improve one's health. I feel that there is an unnecessary focus on very intense exercise programs when simple cardiovascular conditioning that nearly anyone can do has the potential to drastically improve the health of so many.

Anyone seen any data points in the article to backup the claims about the "fascination"?
Yes, when I would tell people I used Conkeror they'd always reply with, "Ah yes, I know Konqueror". That was only really IRL conversations, with text based mediums I don't think I had any confusions.
It’s a rhetoric device (a hyperbole) which hints to maintainability issues. That’s how I understood it.
It seems like the root of their problem is that they didn't spend enough time/effort/experience on creating the test system.

Using things like cap-sense buttons would be very much frowned upon by most contract manufacturers, you can't use cap-sense buttons with dirty hands, gloved hands, and there's no tactile feedback to show that you actually pushed the button. This is OK for a consumer end-user mode of operation, especially if you can have haptic feedback or the screen light up or something, but in manufacturing seconds count and the operator will be doing this same motion thousands of times, making it very clear that they pushed a button is critical.

That the unit would overheat if left in the test jig for too long is a huge oversight. The functional test jig should never have this kind of issue.

That critical portions of the product were not actually tested in the test jig, it sounds like they didn't test the serial interface at all, is a huge oversight as that's a critical interface that customers will notice if it fails.

Making a functional tester for a contract manufacturer to use in mid or high volume is not an easy problem to solve. It takes almost as much effort as making the actual product work correctly in the first place.

I'm glad they found out after only 2000 units went to customers and it sounds like they're fixing the problem for their customers in a very classy way. Kudos.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the tent-and-inflatable-mattress-and-removable-cooler-in-the-rear-center-console package. As I recall, these quirky features were simultaneously the advertised selling points and what made it unappealing, more so than its appearance. Like buying a car out of a SkyMall catalogue.

From Wikipedia[1]:

"The Aztek was able to carry within its interior a standard 4 feet (1.2 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m) sheet of plywood and was available with two rear cargo area options: a pull-out cargo tray that held up to 400 pounds (180 kg) that rolled on built-in wheels when removed from the vehicle, or a versatile cargo net system that held up to 200 pounds (91 kg) and could be configured (a claimed) 22 different ways. Options included a center console that doubled as a removable cooler and a tent/inflatable mattress package that, along with a built-in air compressor, allowed the Aztek to double as a camper. Extending this image was a seat-back mounted backpack, and a number of specialty racks for bicycles, canoes, snowboards, and other such items. An optional 10 speaker Pioneer stereo system provided a set of controls located at the rear of the vehicle for tail-gate parties as well as an unusual 2-piece tailgate with built-in cup-holders and contoured seating area for added comfort."

Most of these features are more fun than useful. Yes, I use backpacks. No, I don't need my car to have a backpack. It's like they started with a concept for a 'lifestyle' commercial with young, beautiful people having parties and campfires and looking at the stars, and then worked backwards towards a vehicle from there. Like they literally glued on symbols of vitality to a vehicle.

Minor correction: conventional 3d displays provide stereopsis AND vergence, but without accommodation (and the corresponding focal blur). Hence why there is a vergence-accommodation conflict, because one is provided without the other, while normally they are linked.

Some way to collapse the video 'banner' into a smaller area, so we can use the full screen, or nearly, when reading the transcript, would be welcome. Perhaps if you click on the transcript to open the video at that point, it could expand again.
I don't think it's debatable that there are people out there familiar with WordPress who don't like it much and are looking for something else.

Whether this is 90%, 50%, or 1% of WordPress developers doesn't matter much. Even in the worst-case scenario it's still going to be a big enough niche if you're able to reach them.
Swarm.js and React – Real-time, offline-ready web apps
Yeah, I think they do this because if they can make a catchy name and logo, it becomes the focus of the media and I think they must pull in like a million hits or more to these articles. That is valuable if you have something to sell.

I think that soon there will be multiple names for each new vulerability with multiple logo-ed/brand-ed info pages. And then this trend will start to die out.
