What's more likely, Google break their commitment or they provide extra patches past their commitment.

I did a similar thing with the air gradient diy kit. That these are pi based run full Linux and allow changes over time is is really compelling.

It is current year and Django is still very relevant in web development.
Tesla has pushed the needle but the automotive was trending towards electric before Tesla. How much energy have the on grid batteries saved?

It isn't an outlandish thing to say that those companies deliver a disproportionate amount of hype to results as other companies in the same space.

Re:Web Framework Benchmarks on Thursday June 07, 2018 @11:04AM (#17256371)
There is a lot of effort being spent measuring what is very rarely a performance bottleneck in web applications.
Seems analogous to say it's stealing TV when you don't watch the commercials, or clipping out ads before reading a paper? It doesn't make sense. I have control over what code is run on my computer. Allowing one party to show me content and blocking others isn't stealing or even in a grey area.

I think it eventually does get deleted.

> Compaction is an online operation which reclaims the space used by the deleted and duplicate needles (needles with the same key). It creates a new haystack by copying needles while skipping any duplicate or deleted entries. Once done it swaps the files and in-memory structures.

Just in an efficient way for FB

Finally I can write Python libraries that are as good as those created by google.
Re:Detroit has outlawed Airbnb for R1 and R2 zoning on Thursday February 08, 2018 @04:10PM (#16335622)
If the property is more valuable there is no bubble. I do agree some lenders might get this wrong, but an overall increase is pretty reasonable I think.
Re:Detroit has outlawed Airbnb for R1 and R2 zoning on Thursday February 08, 2018 @02:34PM (#16334885)
I think AirBnB would be a force to help people keep their housing, driving rents up but allowing people flexibility to generate more income if they are falling back. I'm interested to see how the company responds.
Re:Slack comes to Linux as a snap on Thursday January 18, 2018 @01:39PM (#16179950)
I'd like to hear from anyone that is using snaps. I'm currently using Ubuntu 17.10 and have heard of them but haven't noticed them anywhere. Is it something I should consider using? Generally happy with slack in the browser currently.
Re:F.C.C. Repeals Net Neutrality Rules on Thursday December 14, 2017 @02:17PM (#15925814)
The hyperbole around NN on here and reddit has been annoying. My network carrier already does some anti net neutral things that I like.

I do think the market for ISPs has failed. Regulatory patching won't always be able to stay up to date. The government should make it easier to start an ISP.

I think the point is that if the system is based on trust, you can't necessarily trust the system.
Yep. I am pretty left leaning on environmental and economic issues. But the tax credit from the start was a redistribution of wealth upwards. A side effect being that more hybrid cars were bought.

Not the same thing.
I think the NLP was what much of the hype was about though?

There are differences between sexes and because of this there are some ways that laws etc should treat them differently.

This does not extend to a fucking programming job.

I think what he's saying is that there are a subset of companies that no matter how successful they get, they are not in a market to ever be worth 10 billion.

Not sure a self selected group of college aged kids really counts as an effective sample to qualify that 'by far most devs use macOS'
Re:Little Snitch 3 – Protect your privacy on Friday January 20, 2017 @12:55PM (#13445528)
Would just take a little icon saying so. A lot of dev communities seem to be pretty ubiquitously mac these days. I wonder if it's a side effect.
