You shouldn't in principle need to worry about the difference between the sdl2 and pygame/sdl backends on Android, since kivy's own API is the same in either case.

You don't need to install pil either (kivy preferentially uses other providers), unless directly using it in your own code, in which case you can include it in the android build by adding it to the python-for-android modules string or buildozer requirements line (just 'pil', this is the name of an internal recipe). If you have a window and text provider problem on android, that indicates that something is wrong with the android build, and we can help to debug if you provide the logs. I'm not sure offhand what problem would allow the android build to complete but give this error, but it would probably be revealed in the log.

Ask HN: How to create a Mac library of electronic magazines – with bookmarks?
For my Mac, I would love to a) have a library for magazines in PDF and possibly other formats also, and b) create bookmarks in this archive AND have a system/index for these bookmarks.

I've looked at Calibre, iBooks and Zinio, but I'm none the wiser.

Calibre lets you add documents as PDF and edit metadata, but there are two problems.

Firstly I found no way to create bookmarks that you can view on a SYSTEM basis, meaning that I can look at a list of ALL bookmarks for ALL files in the database and select e.g. "Interview: William Orbit" or "Cooking: Tomato Soup" etc.

Secondly, if you open up large PDFs it takes forever to open them in the internal Calibre browser, while with Apple Preview it takes just a second.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

Even if we take 1985 levels of nuclear warheads - the maximum, I believe USSR had 40 000 back then, and fuck it, lets say for even numbers, 100 000 nuclear warheads.

Land-surace is about 150 square million km. Take 1.2Mt the biggest yield in US arsenal currently. That would require around 270 000 nuclear warheads to cover every square km. We dont have that many and never had.

Also that wouldnt even scratch the oceans.

And the cobalt bomb, it hasnt been built, and anyway wouldnt work its not a doomsday device.

There are also way too many caves and cave systems with ecology in them which would be largely unaffected by civilized weapons.

Sure, the earth wouldnt look like it does today, but life would still prevail - and civilization isnt really that powerful to exterminate all life.

I think despite all our criticisms (especially noting that we as a community are far more aware of the consequences of net neutrality), we are missing the big picture. There is no net neutrality without the net. The idea of bringing internet access worldwide is a noble one, and though there certainly might be problems that arise in the attempt to get there, the entire Internet.org project, in my opinion, is a step forward in some fashion. Consider additionally the intentions of the project. While corporations do need to be profitable, ultimately I have the impression that Mark Zuckerberg is one of the less soulless CEOs, and I like that of all the ways he could've attempted to make more money, he chose one that has great benefits for people.

That's the primacy effect from the article. Where assuming 50% smoothly distributed random assholery in the general population (for the sake of easy math) and X opinions, then people who know significantly more than two times X people (lets say ten X) will tend to have met at least one person with the "wrong" opinion who is an asshole therefore by the primacy effect the next person they meet with the "wrong" opinion has been sabotaged by someone from their past to be autocategorized into asshole status much like that jerk from 8 years ago or whatever.

This all came up in a verbal discussion I had with someone as to why evolution hasn't "fixed" memory, it subjectively seems technically possible looking at skill memory (riding a bike, etc), and the theory we more or less proposed is social cohesion is reproductively valuable and social cohesion is destroyed if people remember minor slights (or, worse than minor slights...) forever. So a population where people forget is a population that will be more reproductively successful over time and outcompete a more petty society where members remember everything. And that's why google searches and/or social media are a net negative for society, or rephrased its a competitive advantage for a culture not to have google/facebook integration. I don't think that was the result they were looking for, and now as per the above any time that poor bastard runs into a new user of the Socratic method of discussion he's going to auto-categorize the new guy as an asshole, all my fault. Oh well, at least its not google searchable (aside from here), LOL.

Star Wars Characters That Are Just Like MSPs [This Is Actually Amazing]
> Dogs we get, mostly because they are so easy to get. They have expressive faces and body language that we can read pretty accurately, according to researchers who study animal behavior.

I'd guess that a big factor in this is that we've had dogs a lot longer. Cats were domesticated around 4000 years ago. Dogs 11000-16000 years ago, or 19000-32000 years ago, or possibly up to 135000 years ago--different methods of analysis give different ranges. Whatever the number for dogs, it is at least 3 times as long ago as for cats.

So, dogs have been adapting to living closely with humans for a lot longer, so it makes sense we'd learn to understand them better than other animals. They've been adapting to make it easier.

Also, the way we use dogs is different than the way we use cats. Working dogs are like employees, with us as their supervisors. They'd hunt with/for us, fight with/for us, guard things with/for us, herd animals with/for us, and so on. We used them in roles that required coordination between the dogs and the humans.

Working cats are like independent consultants. They come in and rid our grain storage of pests, for example, without us working closely with them. There simply wasn't much need for cat/human communication for most of the history of working cats.
This is ridiculous. The author makes it sound like perl6 is more of a success than python3 -- despite python3 being used for real projects for years now, and perl6 being "slow and about to have its first release" (just like it was for the last, I don't know, 7 years?). I mean, come on.

"Humans have no natural predators. Zero."

As a group yes. As individuals - no. Go in alone somewhere where other big predators like wolves, bears or whatnot and hold your ground for a few weeks. I bet that unless you build some kind of fortress for yourself to sleep at night, not even firearms will help you in the long run.

"Even with stone-aged levels of technology we spread to every corner of the world, in every known climate and ecology, in large numbers, and thrived."

Actually, we've managed to thrive only in the places where there was enough air (no underwater humans), water (not many thriving communities in the deserts), food (which was a hard limit for the level of development, famine was a regular regressing factor), warmth (no people in Antarctica), and other such useful things. In this regard we are no different than other animals.
I'd say PHP's major upgrades were a success.

Adoption of PHP5 was a pain, but still it was quicker than adoption of Python 3. At least the community was all behind PHP5 and there was a major push towards it.

I think PHP has dodged the bullet by taking PHP6 apart and reintroducing features piecemeal in PHP 5.3+.

Having recently completed my first (small) Clojure project for a client, I don't think the solution space is small unless you're talking about a pretty constrained problem. Given a broad enough scope, there are many approaches/solutions in FP that can yield similar results.
Don't both situations boil down to win the genetic lottery, be born to the correct parents, be born in a good school district, get accepted into an ivy (not necessarily graduate, but at least get in), by survivorship bias be the lucky one who rises up the management ranks/levels the fastest, operate in the system in a government controlled org, either economic like our highly regulated centrally controlled economy or join the .mil... Its pretty much the same path with some minor scenery differences.

Yep, for me, distributions are the biggest thing holding things back right now, because the existing ones are out there, and will be deployed for a long time.

One small (afaik) correction: Wordpress was never part of the GoPHP5 initiative.
