maybe you're in a different age group/peer group compared to when you lived thru the IT bubble? someone else going thru the 2000s IT bubble may have said that too...

kotlin might be a better choice - there's already projects like robovm (...bought & killed by MS), multi-os engine(intel-backed), and so on...

maybe 'was'? kotlin is the official google's recommendation for android now... (and kotlin can have multiple 'backends' -- e.g. build-to-java / native / web / etc)

if you scroll down:

citiesRef.where("population", ">", 100000).orderBy("country")

is invalid...

EDIT: sorry got confused & posted wrong example (population/population vs population / country)

Cloud Firestore has too many limitations on what it can't do...

e.g. can't query with age > 10 and have it sorted by age <-- (wrong example)

edit: see benjaminl's comment on the wrong example

CORRECT example: can't query with age > 10 and have it sorted by total_spent

why even assume you have to 'look at' the keyboard?

the keyboard can follow the user's view... along with the silhouette of the user's hand...

um... bitcoin? heard like 3 years ago that bitcoin will handle all sorts of micro-transactions...

anyone know what happened?

...going to be useful on Halloween!

hm... but wouldn't they still fear death-experience? also, mind-on-usb != my-mind imho... (it could be a ctrl-c,v of my mind, but can be said as someone else with my thoughts?)

any video of the thing actually moving? Thanks!

so... I guess strong-AI-based coding is the only 100% sure way to go

(but... I'd be jobless if that were to happen :(

thank you! thought I was screwed...

um... use dependent types? sorry but I'm from different language background :(

does this mean that all passwords for osx-encrypted-drives have been 'recoverable'? e.g. if I created an encrypted drive using El Capitan, someone else can crack my drive's password without even cracking a password-hash?

Or is there a bug also in high-sierra's 'create-encrypted-disk' functionality? (but not in lower-versions)

maybe it's time to augment peer-review with some other stuff instead of completely getting rid of it?

maybe 3d-cameras can help? anyway, this forgery stuff is getting scary...

as a user? some milliseconds of latency maybe?

that's not very customer-friendly... I wouldn't want to remember username/password for your website, when the App Store can just let me re-download your app without going any hassle.

then the Chinese gov. should have forced NK to give up its nukes in the first place. It can, but didn't, so US and Korea have the reason to deploy THAAD.

Chinese gov. should explain why it let NK have nukes before blaming 'power balance'

'humanitarian crisis' - isn't NK already the very example of 'humanitarian crisis'? just that NK gov. is good at 'containing' its people & let then starve...

I've been wary about the Chinese gov's honesty after the economic reparations after THAAD deployment in Korea. (NK made nukes, so US deployed THAAD to defend against NK nukes, and PRC gov. got angry for some defense-only 'weapon')

Moreover, the Chinese gov. has been sending NK refugees back to NK, even though it knows those people won't end well.

But anyway, +1 for Chinese gov. on this stance - I guess this might be a start for a morally better China, a real Big Man country.

turtles all the way down...

well, more stuff:

> South Korean manufacturers have been not allowed to bring production facilities back to South Korea

also, the Chinese gov's stance (and BTW, gov != people) on THAAD is ridiculous at best: China has nukes, acquiesced to NK having nukes, but are opposed to other countries having defense mechanisms...?

wow this is a super troll idea...

getters that change value... muahahaha

+1 on this

though I use fingerprints on my laptop, I'm quite aware that it's really easy to leave any fingerprint anywhere

(I use it because I type slow)

doesn't that mean 'almost free foreign currency' for the Chinese? why block free money? it's not like yuan is leaking out...

> In a monetary economy where bitcoins are mined by running a computer that is of course nonsense.

well the rich can buy ridiculously performant computers...

+1 seems to be useful for investigating unit-test failures!

> the journey will first pass through China, Vietnam and Laos, where they must be on the alert for police who might arrest them and send them back the way they came — to certain and brutal punishment in North Korea.

uh...the chinese gov. says it's 'helping' to get NK to the right mind, but... guess there's some big inconsistency between what it does & what it says...

edit: lol sorry for the wrong idea

...what if those tribe suddenly decide to revoke licenses to the original patent owner? Or they suddenly decide to license to another entity for more money?
