I wish more sites were like this.

1. It loads lightning fast on my 512 kbps connection.

2. The font is preinstalled on my system, no separate request needs to be made.

3. It's easy to tell what is a link and what isn't.

4. Scrolling works like I'd expect it to, and doesn't involve any clever "transition" effects. More generally, there are next to no distracting animations or effects on the entire page.
Reading such comments on Rust I'm always wondering: are there any plans to make parallel execution a core feature of Rust? Given the safety information that the compiler generates, it should be relatively straightforward to offload "pure" functions to other processors. (Although AFAIR Rust actually had the notion of pure functions initially but dropped it after some time)
More towards the latter, it appears. They're certainly air-launched and parachute-landed. Still I think there's a reasonable case that you should call it flight if they are capable of straight level powered flight while the fuel lasts, but I don't think they're quite there.

The website cites a flight time of 6 to 13 minutes - I suspect that is the peak of the trade-off between launch weight, fuel duration and descent time. Rather than 6-13 minutes of powered flight followed by the equivalent of a parachute jump.

(EDIT: I've just seen on the developer's wikipedia entry that he claims stable level flight has been achieved. Very impressive - though one might still conjecture that that might only be achievable at certain lower fuel levels).

Depending on the amount of control the pilot has, I'd expect them to be capable of levelling out and making short ascents, basically trading speed for height. And above all it looks like great FUN!

> I've always lost fat when I gained muscles without changing my diet that much.

The fat-burning aspect of muscle growth has been fundamental for me. 45 minutes of weight-lifting has had a far greater effect on fat reduction than 90 minutes of cardio.

I don't know that I can say it's "weight-lifting" vs. "cardio", but rather the specifics of what those entail. I do free weights, and feel like I work my body out better than the cardio work that I've done.

But I'm with you in that respect -- building muscle is effective for fat loss for me, and I achieve that better through weight-lifting vs. cardio.
"Open Tab Count" works nicely for me.
I think this is a general problem with the health care system. Finding somebody that's worth a shit is basically impossible to do in any sensible way, even for something as straightforward as orthopedics -- my journey towards shoulder surgery has been ridiculous to the point of farce.

Well, an arrest is not the same as being convicted of a crime. There's no way for airport security to know whether you were joking or mentally unstable and dangerous, and it's reasonable that they detain you whilst they find out.
One of the arguments of the movement is that by participating in it, by giving away your labor to all mankind, others can benefit and this works vis-a-versa, others give away their labor so you can benefit as well.

The problem of course is that this also says that labor is worthless and nobody gets to eat and find shelter unless they have some significant patronage. So sure I can build my Sprocket-Cog Software more easily because many of the software components that go into it are available to me for free (beer) so long as I free the entire thing at the end (freedom).

The follow-on argument is that you can always try to build a services model around Sprocket-Cog Software and live from that. But there's a subtle implication there that building turnkey software is not an option if you want to live, but making broken, user-hostile, hard-to-use software is the only morally "good" option.

(there's another argument that can be dismissed that you aren't prohibited from selling your software commercially under the right license, but that's a stupid argument, nobody will buy software from you if you just make it available for free (beer) anyways, so your only valid option (and the only one that has so far sorta "worked" in the marketplace is to provide services)

RMS of course dismisses all of this with a bunch of handwaivyness, like he does issues with hardware, food, etc. because he simply doesn't have to worry about them (because he has money) or because he can't find a path he can personally follow. It's hard to take claims about morality seriously when they only apply to software and not anything else that's far more embedded in life.
Agreed. The most glaring example of this was the low-fat guidance given during the 80's and 90's in the US. Sugar and high glycemic index carbohydrates were hardly discussed.
Hardware is a whole new angle, RMS has talk about it too I think.
For someone whose strong point is not JS, is it a good idea to ignore all other frameworks (like ember, angular etc) and just go with react? I find it easier to evaluate server side frameworks than JS frameworks.

That is, if its even actually important at all.
It's amazing how much work we've put into making the web a worse place.
Except it's not quite that simple.

First of all, quality matters. You could satisfy your entire calorie requirement with lard, but that would be extremely detrimental to your health.

Also, how our bodies process food is still not well-understood in detail (although there are tons of self-titled experts claiming otherwise). In other words, excess calories == weight gain and insufficient calories == weight loss don't work out just as nicely as you'd think (I think there was an article on HN recently that even pointed out different people have different "default weights" they would find very difficult to stray from in either direction).

Additionally simply not eating that much can be very difficult. Not everyone has the time, energy and money to ensure they eat healthy (and the right things eat the right times of the day) -- although of course for energy this can be somewhat of a catch-22 (bad eating habits lead to lack of energy leading to bad eating habits). And there's also the problem of satiation and rabbit starvation: it's hard to stick with a diet if your body signals you that you're starving and must eat.

As a rule of thumbs, sure, just eat less calories if you're overweight. But good luck sticking with that if you don't have the time, energy and money to experiment with how you can make that sustainable. Otherwise the "yo-yo effect" wouldn't be such a widespread and widely-known problem.
>passively tolerant of people who are actively seeking to kidnap, shoot, and bomb us, just because they haven't broken the law.

WTF? This statement doesn't have a modicum of sense in it. Seeking to kidnap or murder in the context of terrorism[1] is an inchoate offence[0] that is definitely against the law in UK.

I am at total loss why would you defend Cameron on that. I am not from UK and I've been able to find relevant statutes and laws in 5 minutes. I am really interested, can you elaborate?

Relevant precedent[1]:

R v Barot [2008] 1 Cr. App. R. (S.) 31.
Conspiracy to murder. Appellant trained as a terrorist and proposed terrorist attacks in America and Britain. One attack contemplated in Britain was to fill three limousines with gas cylinders and explosives and detonate them in an underground car park with the expectation of causing hundreds of casualties. Guilty plea. A life sentence with a minimum term of 40 years should, save in quite exceptional circumstances, represent the maximum for a terrorist who set out to achieve mass murder but caused no physical harm. Minimum term reduced to 30 years.

Guile scheme was meant to be use as a "scripting" language, to extend and customize software. As far as I know, from the GNU project, only GnuCash and Lilypond use it.

Very few of the software from the GNU project have been written by RMS, they are often starten outside the GNU project and join or get adopted later.
Are you joking, or just unaware of how the voting actually ended up in various ridings? With any sort of proportional vote system it would have been a Tory/UKIP coalition running the country. Roughly 37% voted for the tories and 13% voted UKIP. If anyone has a reason to complain it is UKIP, and frankly I am quite happy to accept the downsides of FPTP if it keeps UKIP out of government.

> All milk sold (legally) in the US is processed, because it must undergo pasteurization

So it's a choice between "processed milk" and "slightly more processed milk". I suggest making your decision based on calories instead of the amount of processing. Whole milk has almost twice the amount calories compared to skim milk.

your misconception of the position is addressed in the above essay.

RMS: Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.

Very nice color picker, especially thanks to its magnifier tool.

The 'Android' format is not very useful though :

It outputs in the 'Color.argb(x,y,z)' format which is almost never used in Android development but does not support the infinitely more useful android xml format : <color name="color_name">#FF112233</color> .
I'd say Intel, ARM, Power, and Sparc is good enough.
I think the biggest difference is that cars are physical objects which require nontrivial resources to produce, even just to copy. Even if you had all the knowledge about a car to the point of being able to make a copy, you still have to acquire the raw materials.

Software is different; copying and distribution essentially costs only as much as the power it takes to move bits around.

As long as physical materials are not free, I don't think it contradicts supporting free software - even paying developers for their effort - and also paying for a car. There's no incompatibility here.

... but today, cars do contain software, which makes the situation a lot more complex...
Incredible good idea!
Treatment for depression is badly handled almost universally... It seems as if people still don't generally understand that it's more than 'feeling a bit sad'.

If you break your knee, you will (99.9% chance) go and see a doctor. If the first doctor doesn't fix it, you'll see another. Your knee is broken, unusable, painful and you have a drive to fix it.

A more serious injury will generally result in a friend/family member/passer by getting you to a doctor.

If you suddenly enter a depression... even getting to the stage of seeing a doctor can fail, because suddenly everything is 'pointless' (bad wording. sorry.). And if you see them and they give bad advice, you maybe can't be bothered to see the next one. Or you miss the appointment because getting out of bed was too hard. Etc.

It's more severe than most physical injuries because it affects your ability to seek help.

There will be no No vote in the UK, it is a useful cudgel with which to beat back some rather overbearing legislation out of Brussels and the best option available at the moment is to get a few concessions and then have a fast vote.

OTOH, the Scots really should be careful. At the rate they are going the next time there is a vote we will open it up to all voters and the rest of us will get to decide if we want to kick out Scotland. For now the beat-down SNP gave Labour will make it much easier for us to claw back some of those West Lothian subsidies in bits and pieces.
I suggest your read his essays, I've never said he's a Marxist, but his creed to stick to his principles is very similar to some extreme left organizations.
And no sorry, but his views are not mainstream in Western Europe, I live in London, I've lived in Frankfurt and in Amsterdam, and I spend most of my summers in Iceland per the orders from my "female unit", while some of his views might be shared with more or less with main stream views in modern democracies including the US btw, the reasoning behind his views, and the vigilance and the veracity in which he practices them even if it hurts certain organizations (take a look at his protests against OLPC when they decided to look into Windows which actually resulted in them losing some funding), heck he and his marry band went to Peru to protest OLPC's being delivered with Windows in hoping to build up enough counter pressure to actually revert that decision.

Now being a vanguard for free software is one thing, but using your reputation to go and protest children in developing nations getting PC's because they've switched from GNU to Windows? That's some hard core vegan shit there like dying because you refuse to eat a burger..

There's no difference in price between whole, semi-skimmed (<2%) or skimmed milk at the British supermarkets I checked online (Sainsbury's, Tesco, Aldi, Waitrose).

But I think the price in the supermarket has little to do with the cost. It's a staple food that people remember the price of, and which can be used to tempt people to switch supermarket.
I don't believe this is accurate. When making radical changes to your application it might be required to run two copies in EB and do a CNAME swap.

But for day-to-day deploys of new versions, EB can use rolling batches within one application, as you say ECS does, you configure it to.

Specifically, you can have EB update only a fixed number or percentage of instances in your application with new versions at a time. It does this by removing, in batches, only some of the instances from the load balancers, waiting for existing connections to complete, updating those instances, and then re-adding them to the load-balancer.

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-...

(I agree that the existence of this page along with "Deploying Versions with Zero Downtime" is confusing, but rolling deploys are specifically mentioned as an alternative to CNAME swap: "Batched application version deployments are also an alternative to application version deployments that involve a CNAME swap")

Also, regarding terminology, note that under the hood EB, when used for multi-container Docker applications, is just an abstraction layer over ECS. It sets up ECS tasks for you you.
> With any sort of proportional vote system it would have been a Tory/UKIP coalition running the country.

That's not how proportional systems work. The parties choose themselves what alternative they want to negotiate. You will often find "natural" coalition partners shying away from each other to look towards the centre because the risk of indulging fringe parties in a coalition is that you get eaten alive at the next election as your more centrist voters decide "anything but" next time to prevent the same next time.

While Tory/UKIP might have happened, first of all we don't know how proportional systems would have altered who people would have voted for, secondly a Tory/UKIP coalition would require the right wing of the Tory party to be firmly in control, and little indicates they are, and secondly would require the Tory party to be willing to risk exactly that kind of implosion. A Tory/Labour coalition would also be very much possible, as would a minority government with a supply agreement with one or more parties (e.g. you'd find Labour and SNP and pretty much everyone else would be willing to stretch far to appease a Tory minority government to avoid a coalition that included UKIP)

> and frankly I am quite happy to accept the downsides of FPTP if it keeps UKIP out of government.

I'm tempted to say the same, but as horrendous as such a government might be, it would still be more representative of the will of the people. It would also have the bonus of tearing the Tory party to shreds next election.
So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.
