What's the bit about using electron in the JS bindings docs? http://libyue.com/docs/v0.4.0/js/guides/getting_started.html

Is S12 correct? Edit: ah, Newsblur was S12, that's somewhat confusing

It's a limit rather than a factor of preference is I think the takeaway

Irradiation does have issues of it's own, like making things taste funky [0] [0]: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03091...

Moley looks like a science fiction pipe dream right now and would require an absolutely massive number of leaps in modern robotics - control, vision, whatever. We're a long way off such a system. Putting junk in a bowl is a much simple

Maybe? They definitely have exact data on how long it takes drivers to arrive. But yeah, I'm referring to using it as a judgment of the driver. I wouldn't even the least bit surprised if they already figured out that people are m

> Was your driver late This would be a poor question. Any perceived lateness is because Uber underestimates the time-to-pickup. In Manhattan they pretty consistently underestimate by 50% it feels like.

Leader/follower and primary/replica are common terminology now. It's unfair to paint the sensibilities as irrational - this is exactly an example of the kind of nonchalance that helps lead to underrepresentation of minorities

Yeah, it mentions that it's only accounts created after restore.

> used a secret token for auth instead of a signed Seems that you'd still have an issue here, as the secret token would still be linked to a user ID somewhere in the system.

For what it's worth, truncate should not be a required permission for migrations/ddl tasks

TIL about iterm profiles. That's going to be handy. :)

You can't scale up solar power to an aircraft carrying significant passengers / cargo.

> prevent giving away information to other countries who don't have it already Pretty easy for a nation-state to launch a surveillance satellite with much better optics, I imagine.

There'd be no reason whatsoever for such an imaginary currency to have any value.

There's a crap ton of tech in the military world, and the US is generally the most advanced at a lot of it. Both public knowledge (F-22/F-35, THAAD, aircraft carriers) and all the other sorts of crap - satellites/surveillance

Very steampunk, but unlikely it sees reality. It's not like companies haven't tried time and time again to commercialize airships.

Not at all. In-browser cryptomining is not even within an order of magnitude as lucrative as ads (probably not even two orders of magnitude), and users actively despise having the browser slow to a crawl because these are in the background.

Right clicking on desktop brings up a contextual menu - useful. In the case of 3D touch in apps it frequently just directly performs an action, which is worse for understanding what's happening.

It can be useful and still be terrible interaction design - it's uses are entirely lacking in discoverability

> it doesn't get burning hot to the touch when doing actual work on it The latest generation of Macs definitely run cool, fwiw. I've never once noticed the heat

The new keyboards drive me nuts, too. Old ones were 100x better. How did they not notice how quickly and crappily the keys turned to degraded mushstate? Never left the clean room?

Yeah, I'm surprised they charge per secret. I guess it's a blip when you have big aws spend

We did one up them, over and over again - just with strategies other than "make one bigger bomb".

Seems like a good job for static analysis/linting vs compiler.

That’s the point. Using tech isn’t what makes you a tech company, and never has been. Banks, airlines have been running cobol and what have you for ages. When your product is software/hardware, then you’re a tech company.

by bpicolo 9y ago
Blue Apron and Stitch Fix aren't selling software/hardware as a customer-facing value proposition, so they're definitively not tech. You definitely have to draw the line, or else every big company in existence is a tech compa

It's somewhat distinct from other languages because Clojure is actually just a java library - it's not a standalone concept/runtime/whatever. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.clojure/cloju

He still overpromises frequently, the model 3 is one example. His claims of how soon Tesla's vehicles will be self-driving ready is another.
