As a recent iPhone switcher, yes, I love intents. It's great to be able to set what I open mailto: links in, etc.

Not sure I understand the connection here though, could you explain? What intent is Firefox breaking, and why is it OK that Chrome can go to play.google.com (in the browser, it doesn't bounce me to the Play Store app) while Firefox is blocked?

that's in response to the offer llvm made to give hand the copyright over to the FSF and integrate llvm to gcc. I had long been wondering why there was a llvm-gcc on apple machines a couple revisions back.

basically he claims he didn't see the original llvm offer:

This is essentially my reason set. I run KDE + (whatever) whenever I am doing desktop linux. It works, out of the box, in a UI paradigm that I can use effectively (tip to designers: this is essentially windows 98 paradigm, with minor tweaks).

I don't want to fart with random scripts I have to cook up and futz with to get a working system.

It looks (if they are using the same technique as the youtube video linked in this thread) that once it has expired you either need to change the lamp or potentially replace the salt water with an aqueous solution of (very strong) reducing agent. Or you could be even use saltier water in the lamp to make it last (slightly) longer once it has expired.
You're right - mea culpa.
Are you sure about your last point ? I was a kid so I can't be too certain, but the graphical (photo, movies, a bit of architecture, not 3d though) industry was heavy on Macs quite early on. Even music studio used Mac workstations (with additional audio hardware).
If you take as axiomatic that all security measures can be broken, then you can measure those security measures by the cost of breaking it.

You could measure the amount of time it takes for someone to break this security and grab the cash, but that only provides you with one datum. To really show how secure it is, you would also need to provide a $1000 prize, a $500 prize, a $250 prize, a $125 prize, and so on, all with equally strong security.

Then you start the clock. After the first prize is won, you put out the second prize and start the clock again.

Even if the winners don't share their methods, you can determine how long it took to claim the biggest prize, and compare with the length of time it takes for subsequent lesser prizes. A reduction in the interval spells trouble for your security method, because the attackers found an easier way to get in.

You can then determine the general level of effort required, when people finally stop taking the otherwise free money. If the $125 prize is claimed, and the $62.50 prize is not, you can assume that it costs between $62.50 and $125, plus a certain amount of time, to break your security.

As long as whatever you put behind that security is worth less than that amount of time and money, it will probably be safe from random attackers. Unlike an in-home safe or a bank vault, you can't take calipers and measure the thickness of the walls, to calculate how long it would take to cut through.

This contest doesn't prove anything, but it does suggest a guideline. If no one takes the $2000, then as long as the expected value of a random attack on you is not higher than that, you can feel safe using it. The problem is that it doesn't take much to rise above that amount. Late model car? Nice house? Taking an actual vacation? You're worth at least a spear-phishing attempt.

I am not that person, but I can probably explain anyway.

The whole point of the web is to be a common runtime. You can use it from any browser and any device. You avoid the situation where you prefer browser X because it has some feature that is critical to you, but you have to use browser Y for some web sites. (So in the end, you'll use browser Y for all sites so that your user agent can actually be your agent by eg remembering your history/passwords. Or worse, you will be forced to use multiple browsers due to multiple incompatible websites.) You also avoid the situation where a new hardware platform or browser engine can never be released because there's no way to make it compatible with the current web.

In short, if a "web site" does not work in a strictly standards-compliant browser, then it's not part of the Web. It may be linked to from the web, and it may almost be part of the web, but it's really something else hanging off of it.

There are many such things. Flash apps are a common type. Heck, PDFs are too and until recently all videos were. There's nothing inherently wrong with them existing, as long as they aren't claiming to be part of the Web.

In this case, it may only be a QA shortcoming with respect to a 0.7% market share device. Inbox is not so benign, since the compatibility delay is a pretty strong indicator of corporate priority and policy.

And that's the danger, and the probable reason for the downvote. If you accept non-web things on the web, only thinking of the convenience and added functionality you gain (because your particular user agent is fine with it and makes it appear to be part of the web), then lockin will gradually set in, standards will lose their meaning, browser makers will start having to implement each other's half-baked experimental features that don't interoperate with everything else, cats and dogs will start living together, and there will be no reason not to gain the extra 10% in performance and functionality you get from a native app because your web sites don't run universally anymore anyway. So developers get to start maintaining half a dozen separate code bases because we've pissed away our opportunity to make a single codebase work everywhere. The blasé acceptance of that possibility is what earns downvotes.

The movement in this direction is already well under way on the mobile web, so I'm not just dreaming up imaginary hypothetical scaremongering.

> But RMS has never really been pragmatic in the sense I think you mean here.

I didn't use "pragmatic" as an adjective describing RMS or a role RMS might be in at all, so I'm not really sure what you are saying. RMS is, and has for a long time been, acting in the role that I stated that the "he doesn't know enough anymore" [about the way working developers now actually build software] claim is relevant to his suitability, which is simply making specific recommendations about what software features and usage restrictions should, or should not, be present to achieve the goals of his ideology.

> Just because you disagree with some of the results of his principles

My position on Stallman's principles is orthogonal to my belief that his particular recommended policies are often counterproductive to achieving his stated principles. The post you are responding to is about the latter, not the former.

Because every human being is a walking, convenient source of an electrolytic solution. This is something you can do if you're too, too lazy to mix and pour water and salt.

The downside is that you'll probably end up with a smelly lamp, and some of the other crud in your urine may muck up your electrodes.

I'm only vaguely familiar with it, but Brad Fitzpatrick has a project called Camlistore [https://camlistore.org/]. Probably worth a look. It seems he's trying to tackle exactly these kinds of problems with that project.
Aaah, but you can try to do soooo much more!

You can try to confuse the ASN.1 parser, or even the protocol level parser.

You can try to defeat certificate validation logic.

You can try to get handshake state-machine do an illegal transition.

You can try to smash its memory and either read it or get your code into it.

Sure, but there's a difference between selling copies of something and pirating it for personal use. Maybe not legally, but in my opinion at least morally, and also you're much less likely to get noticed for doing the latter.

> You're a different person than you were 5, 10, 20 years ago, and you'll experience the same book differently as a different reader

I think this is often the point of reading a book multiple times, other than for sheer enjoyment. Sometimes we read a book and enjoy it, and upon re-reading it discover that there are parts of the book that we really hadn't understood at all.

These layered depths of meaning often characterize great literature, which is why at least a few re-reads of a book can be surprisingly illuminating.
It's browser vendors that are bearing the torch of interoperability and standards compliance. Unfortunately, most vendors are companies with their own agenda. To add to that, all companies and people interpret standards differently. Given this, it's no wonder we don't see consistent api implementation and behaviors between browsers.

The aftermath of all of this falls on the developer's shoulders, which is why so many hours are poured into getting a modern webapp to work across all browsers. Resources are limited, and at some point, developers have to throw their hands up and resign from having support across all browsers.

When you start using a seemingly mature HTML5 api, and find that it doesn't work as expected in all browsers, what recourse does one have? Should we continue to stifle innovation while we wait for the browser vendor to reach compliance? History shows you're going to be waiting for a while, or for ever.

"How to make a Salt Water Battery Lamp."

(I was expecting a spoof meme along the lines of "Magic" and very nearly downvoted your comment simply based on that expectation.)
This code looks to me to be fairly well constructed. There's a nicely written Sensor class and it looks like reasonable MVC. Yes, today it might be overkill for such a simple application, but I contend that this will be easier to extend into something less trivial down the line. If you are a Java guy, this is an excellent example to learn some basics of dealing with sensors.
I resent the creators of this product for misrepresenting how it works. Are they marketing to the gullible?

No, the water and salt do not power it - if that were the case you could revive the lamp's battery by pouring in fresh salty water. Instead, the power comes from the galvanic potential of a chunk of metal vs. (I'm guessing) a carbon electrode. When the metal electrode wears out, that's what you need to replace.
I apologize if this point is too obvious, but the reason these odd situations occur is that many people mistakenly believe that categories such as "white" and "black" correspond to intrinsic, biological categories, that it makes sense to ask if someone is "really" of one race or another. Whereas racial categories like these are socially constructed, and do not correspond all that well with genetic population groupings. The subject of the story categorizes himself as "black" because he categorizes his parents as "black". But they were Americans with very light skin, which means that their ancestry originated from both Europe and Africa, the same as all "white" and "black" Americans, and this categorization is a social convention. The subject's classifying himself as "black" is arbitrary, a remnant of the racist "one drop" attitude that helped support slavery and, later, segregation. The book referred to in the article, Black Like Me, is great reading, by the way.

EDIT: Some replies suggest that I may have been unclear. The social grouping into race is obviously not random, but based on perception of visible morphological attributes. However the categorization that results is probably not the same categorization that you would get if you looked at the whole genotype and tried grouping humans together based on genetics. One basic fact of human genetics should guide you here: there is more genetic variability within any socially constructed "race" than between "racial" groups. So claims that common racial categories correspond to big differences in genotypes don't make sense. Whether there are races at all in humans is something that biologists disagree about, with most at the moment saying "no". Whether race is useful to medical diagnosis is also contentious. The human species is unusually genetically uniform. Most animals that all look about the same to us, like chimpanzees, have (in that case) about three times our genetic diversity.
IMHO, these companies (and a lot of people) are pretending that social security numbers will be treating with extra care. Clearly, this is not the case.

Fragmentation is good, it stimulates the eco-system for better products.
You change. You gain perspective. You focus on different bits. And you miss things the first time round. Take the Iliad. A young kid might love the gory tongue-splitting spear through the head of the enemy fighting scenes of the Iliad. Later on in life you might dwell on the fact that a good chunk of the story is dedicated to humanizing Hector, the hero of the enemy. Showing us his concern about the fate of his wife and children if Troy does, in the end, get sacked. then again, i can't get my wife to watch or read something twice ever.

Of course jQuery is bloated, but of course jQuery would be bloated by this time. The only way to have avoided that would have been to split out the compatibility layer and let people just load whatever portion of it they want. Then you'd have people complaining that when they load enough to support ie8 it seems bloated. b^) Also that architecture probably would have been an ongoing annoyance for jQuery maintenance. (EDIT: yes I know about v2, I'm just saying that what jQuery would become was pretty much decided, architecturally, long before that release.)

It isn't clear that node had to go that direction, or even that they can't change course now.
