"Unrestricted junk food marketing + 100% sedentary lifestyle between sitting in the office, driving, and watching TV" explains mass obesity trends better than anything else, no pandemic needed.

I've once built a system (an outliner app) that actually encodes intent, and uses a command queue ("transaction queue"). Intent could be for example to insert this new item as a first child of that other one, or to move these

Lots of secrets scale to hundreds of people just fine, and are enforced weaker than with a prison sentence. As far as any of those people are concerned, they are now actively monitored in the name of national security (same reasoning as why

All that would accomplish is that you and everyone you sent this letter to would now be subject to another NSL with a gag order, and your fix would be undone.

You'd need to also record yourself putting a real phone IN the box when you're shipping it, but it seems that even if you did, your evidence would just be ignored by ebay.

The problem is, typescript will still silently infer 'any' type in certain cases even with all the no-implicit-any compiler flags enabled, and you'll never know when this happens until you have a bug. Not to mention that its

What are some of those companies? I'd be curious to read about that. Because it doesn't sound like the state dept. has any legal basis here, just American specialism. At any rate, US is not the bastion of freedom that Russia'

I thought you were contesting the bigger argument that Russia's economy is stagnating, since the link you provided did not contradict anything else (there was no reference to China).

Are you hoping people won't look past the misleading google chart that ends in 2013? Russia's GDP has been reliably falling since then. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/russia/gdp-per-capita-ppp

Uh... You can't send a national security letter to a foreign company that has no presence in the US. Well, you can probably send it, but since the foreign company is not bound by US laws, they can ignore it and even publish it (this

Sure, it is a rich and developed country after all. It's not horrible. It's just not really special if you're looking out for your own quality of life as opposed to how prominent the country is. This is doubly so if you don

by raquo 10y ago
That depends on what you compare it to. Plenty of first world countries are ahead of the US in many important aspects. But if you're setting the bar on the level of Russia or some third world countries, then yeah, it's pretty grea

Not sure how the integration with JS looks like in Emscripten. Scala.js is fabulous, with typed facades for the DOM, easy interaction with dynamic JS types, etc.

Also, remember that Electron will also benefit from this. More performant cross platform apps!

Compared to 100 years ago roads are already pretty locked down, we have traffic lights and dedicated pedestrian crossings. And we're fine with it. Realistically, speed limits will probably stay low (or might even decrease) in any resid

They mean the Pro version, as in – the paid version of the app. I think only the free features are open sourced.

I assume only the regular version (non-Pro) is open source? If not, I'm really curious how this works together with Pro version being paid.

UI needs to be predictable and discoverable, right click on web pages is neither. People in general either don't use right click, or expect the browser context menu to show up. So if you hide important UI controls behind right click, m

It's a common business scenario: start out as a web app, then as business picks up let's start providing native apps. Or the other way: start out with a native app on the platform we most care about + a web app for "access fr

Haven't we had revolutions in the last 150 years? Not in the US, but other countries had a few. But that's not the point. You don't need an armed uprising when you have elections. You need populism. Trump / Brexit /
