I see no reason why it shouldn't. Most of homebrew is ruby script (that is architecture-agnostic), most of software installed through homebrew can be recompiled.

I got my Thinkpad Edge E530 replaced twice during warranty (motherboard problems) and my work Thinkpad T420s broke down one month after warranty ended, so I have completely opposite experience. I got no problems with IBM Thinkpad T42 though.

I would say that yes, in some distant future, they will not use tires.

> And over here, there is a small but growing opinion that those people maybe should live in the city in the first place?

I live in central Europe and there is actually quite opposite debate: people are moving to cities in large quantities, so rural areas are becoming emptier and poorer every day. Not everyone can and should live in a big city.

From Wikipedia: "Lam suspended the extradition bill on 15 June and declared the bill "dead" on 9 July, but fell short of a promise to withdraw it until 4 September. However, she refused to concede to any of the other four demands, namely an independent inquiry on police brutality, the release of arrested protesters, a complete retraction of the official characterisation of the protests as "riots", and her resignation along with the introduction of universal suffrage for election of the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive."

How do you justify continuing violence and destruction by "law" enforcers?

Seriously though, I think that protests against extradiction law transformed into protest against China's illegal claim over Hong Kong.

"Cases" for credit cards are pretty common here in Europe (something like this: https://www.kartyvbezpeci.cz/174-thickbox_default/pouzdro-na...)

It's better here in Europe with almost all car makers having their own station wagons and a lot of these station wagons are most-sold cars for their respective brands. Skoda Octavia/Fabia/Superb Kombi, Volkswagen Golf Variant, Passat Variant, Ford Focus SW, Toyota Corolla Touring Sports, Citroen C4, Honda Civic Tourer, Fiat Tipo Kombi, Hyundai i30, i40 SW, Kia Ceed SW, Mazda 6 Wagon, Opel Astra/Insignia Sports Tourer, Peugeot 508 SW, Renault Megane Grandtour, Seat Leon ST, Audi A4 Avant, BMW 3/5 Touring, Mercedes Benz B-Class to name a few, not including all those liftbacks, spacebacks and hatchback/kombi hybrids. SUVs/crossovers are on the rise, but I would say that Kombis are still one of the most sold cars in Europe.

I also thought so (about hanging bullet points), but it's true that in this example: https://codepen.io/matejlatin/full/dRLRpW/ they IMO look better.

I've read about this psychological theory somewhere - that there is so much danger around human that human brain has to ignore everything that doesn't impact him directly, othervise everyone would be paralized by fear all the time. Without this mechanism, one would be unable to leave his apartment - there are hundreds of potentialy dangerous individuals you'll meet every day, moving in things that would kill you instantly if someone just made a small mistake. And if you decide to use this thing, you depend on tens of people you've never met that they did their job correctly, othervise you may be killed even though you haven't made any mistake. Public transportation is even worse in this regard.

It would also explain how anyone is able to do things that are unhealthy - smoke, drink alcohol, eat sugar. Even though we all know that it's really unhealthy, it doesn't affect us directly, so it's hard to take it as serious threat.

I'm not sure if this theory is true, but it keeps explaining a lot of human behaviour to me.

This term is being used like this in other places as well, for example reactive vs. proactive agents.

Not OP, but I have strong opinion about this:

I believe that if you want to motivate people so they would do something, positive motivation ("Let's make someone's life better/easier by doing what we want him to do") is much more effective than negative motivation ("Let's complicate someone's life so he would have no other option than doing what we want him to do"). It's easier to hate/rebel against when someone is punishing me for doing something than hate when someone is rewarding me for doing it differently.

They are throttling it according to battery's condition (but actual throttling apparatus was added via an update). If you replace old battery with a new one, phone starts running at full speed again.

I have Seiko SKX007 (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-seiko-skx007-divers-wa...) and it costs less than $200. There are Seiko 5 watches even cheaper than that.

While I don't believe hybrids will survive in the long run, I think that hybrids (and plug-in hybrids specifically) will play important role in transition period of passenger cars (use EV in cities, use gasoline if you want to go >100 km, refuel whenever you want).

A have Toyota Auris with hybrid synergy drive and even though it has really small battery (so it costs less than $25000 including tax), I am able to ride through small town using EV mode only and then use ICE between towns. My mileage is 4.4 l/100 km which is ~53.5 miles per gallon and I'm driving in city most of the time.

Microsoft's To-Do lets you import from Wunderlist.

Or you can use PHS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit...

I think that security will be very discussed thing once IoT will be more spread. I also think that Mozilla could be first to solve it and Persona could help with it. I imagine using it for authentication of connected devices in my home.

That's how Homebrew works. Other could use it but not install or upgrade. From Homebrew docs: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/h...

Windows is POSIX compliant? I didn't knew that. But in my defense, wikipedia article states [1] that it was marked as deprecated in Windows 8 and it was removed in Windows 8.1.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX

It's perhaps because Linux is (almost) POSIX compliant, but Windows is not? It would make porting to Linux far more easier than to Windows.

I don't think that RoR is the cause of Diaspora's failure. And in my opinion, saying this sounds a little bit like cargo culting.

In my opinion, definitions of 'strongly typed language' and 'dynamically typed language' are orthogonal and Python is both. You can't say that Python isn't strongly typed because its dynamically typed. For example, C is staticly typed, but weakly typed at the same time.

I agree on the rest, though.

Edit: since a lot od people here are arguing what does 'strong typing' mean, I take it from what I learned at college: it means that, apart from typical conversions (like int -> float), it doesn't do many automatical conversions for you.

What Node.js taught me is that JavaScript is language like any other. It has good parts, it has quirks and you have to know what are its strenghts and what are its weaknesses to use it properly. And you can say that about any other language.

I don't think that it's circular definition. Definition talks about the one you love, in other words:

love(x, y) = x has the active concern for the life and the growth of y

"Where this active concern is lacking, there is no love" only says that "if x has no active concern about y, love is zero".

> ..you can use Android apps (not from Google Play), but: 1) There are no Google Play Services, 2) there will be problems with any non-trivial app. Besides, if you are buying this device convicted that you will use Android apps on it, why not buy Android phone?

I think that he is not referring to this incident.

They are using product called "Alien Dalvik" (http://www.myriadgroup.com/products/device-solutions/mobile-...). And performance is not bad, you can play 3D games on it.

I have Jolla phone and I have mixed feelings about it. Sailfish OS is interesting - learning how to use it has steep learning curve (but once you get used to it, it's perhaps faster to do something with it than on any other phone). It is sometimes unreliable (my Jolla randomly shuts down, sometimes several times in a row, see https://together.jolla.com/question/7144/jolla-randomly-shut...). There are other quirks here and there, guys from Jolla are fixing them one after another, but I would say that Sailfish OS is still in beta state.

It is really developer friendly device. It has awesome SDK and it isn't trying to restrict you by any means. But even that, there are not really that many applications for Sailfish OS and only few of them are good. And there is literally no official client for anything and that brings problems - for example, several people were banned from WhatsApp for using Mitakuuluu (WhatsApp client for Sailfish OS). There isn't full-featured Facebook client, there isn't client for my bank account or for my operator. App for public transport for your country? Nope, it isn't there. Sure, you can use Android apps (not from Google Play though, you have to use Yandex store or Amazon store), but: 1) There are no Google Play Services - that means no integration with Google Account, no maps, no that pretty cool Google Inbox app, Google is moving a lot of things into Google Play Services, 2) there will be problems with any non-trivial app. Games are OK, but GPS tracking? Didn't work when app wasn't active (so you have to have screen on). Wanted to try Pressy? Doesn't work, it wants to access your Google account. Besides, if you are buying this device convicted that you will use Android apps on it, why not buy Android phone?

To end this comment with something positive, I could say that this is "OK" device. It is impressive that they are able to build this device with that small team. They are listening to community, they are updating their OS frequently. Besides some quirks, Sailfish OS is as good as any other mobile phone OS. It runs fast and it is based on Linux, Qt5 and even Wayland compositor. You can be more confident that you are not being watched (at least they say). Your inner geek will be pleased. But at the end of the day, you will look at other people phones, they are playing that new cool game, using that new cool app you always wanted to try, trying that new HN or Reddit client, using Google Inbox, using Instagram Hyperlapse, using their expensive gadgets, fitness trackers, using their phones to find how will they get home and your phone has just suddenly rebooted again.

I think that Nokia X was "product of Microsoft" (although planned long before the deal). This is product of Nokia, that means remaining parts of Nokia after mobile division was sold to Microsoft. So two different companies, same brand.

I think that they cannot release phone until 2016.
