> The WinForms designer for .NET Core in Visual Studio is still broken

That's tooling, not Dotnet Core itself. As an aside, I think there is even a WinForms
GUI editor in Jetbrains Rider now.

> Marketing and reality are just too far apart

I mean, that's your opinion, but there are millions of Dotnet Core devs for whom the reality is as wonderful as promised. If you still have to work with legacy libraries or maybe WinForms, then of course I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think it's fair to tar the whole of Dotnet Core based on some limited failings that affect only a minority.
The moment you put more than three people in a room you have politics.

You have envies, jealousy , corruption,treason, sex, desires , power and complex social dynamics. You also have loyalty,interest and admiration , mutual support, play and fun.

I work with computers and machines that have no emotion, always do what are told to do millions of times without deviating an inch(or centimeter).

People are not like that. They will always surprise you, for the bad or for the good.

If you want to be successful, it is a good idea learning about people in anything that you will do, even for working in places where in theory you won't need it.
Currently you have 2 options:

I doubt Google is going to sponsor any though.
The current version Android Development Studio (its based on IntelliJ) is even worse, even after applying all the recommended settings. After loading up a Gradle project, building and running (which can take forever), its memory usage shoots up to about 1GB even when idle. My Visual Studio 2013 Solution with 7 Projects (with Resharper) takes just more than half of that under the same conditions.

http://i.imgur.com/bDk4OWJ.png

Now I'm a big fan of aggressive RAM usage, but the problem is Android Dev Studio always seems to want to grab everything it can. Which means that eventually I'm going to need disk swap space and that just causes my machine to slow down tremendously.
Why not ? Unless your instance has a reservation of public IP you are sharing the outbound IP with thousands of other traffic. The actual problem with such setups and VPNs is the constant captcha because you are not using a residential IP range
No, the plan is to nationalise broadband with 'free' service to all. There would be nationalised infrastructure and a nationalised service provider to consumers.

The Labour manifesto: "We will establish British Broadband, with two arms: British Digital Infrastructure (BDI) and the British Broadband Service (BBS)."

This is both infrastructure and retail. That by default enforces a monopoly and kills competition. Even if it is not made illegal to do, what company can compete against free?

McDonnell publicly stated that private providers would be allowed to continue, but [1]:

"Mr McDonnell said that if other broadband providers did not want to give access to British Broadband, then they would also be taken into public ownership."

This is a non-existing choice in reality. It's either go bankrupt or be nationalised.

Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg considering all the other nationalisation that they have already publicly proposed. It would have a ripple effect to 5G, and perhaps even a direct effect (nationalisation).

At the moment the reaction has be muted because the market does not think they'll be elected. But if they are then I predict that the stock market will immediately crash (on Friday 13th December, of all dates...)

Is there an effective direct action that can shake ICANN into some sense?

I don’t mean this as a serious suggestion, but as an example we could have a “drop dot org” month where resolvers refuse to forward queries to the ORG nameservers.

Not a great example because it would have a pretty negative impact on the domain holders, and no impact on ICANN. Can anyone think of a better example, equivalent to saying to ICANN “if you go ahead with this then we’re going to boycott dot org in a way that makes it worthless”?
Envoy, the L7 proxy on which Ambassador is based, is written in C++.
Also, shows like "Embarrassing Bodies" (UK Channel 4) are very similar to the "Dr Duncan Show" (i.e. members of the public showing their personal illnesses/diseases on national TV).

"Giving firearms to everyone is necessary so that shooters can be stopped, yadda yadda yadda..."
Oh sure, but sad things happen. And they can be even messier: I had a Jenkins instance "made" public because a sysadmin new to a hosting provider forgot to remove the public IP that gets automatically assigned to new things. We were lucky, being fairly sure nothing found it before I realised, but it was a strong lesson learned:

Any network may become public by accident unless you go to great lengths to make sure it doesn't. Configurations change and mistakes are made even by seasoned people. People bring devices. Unless there's an air gap, people's devices may be hacked and let stuff through. Put authentication and anti-CSRF on _all_ your stuff, always.
Bingo. I can afford it. Others can't.
What does this actually mean in practical terms for the db?
It can be a AU$24 flat fee plus potentially any conversion fees for an intl transfer.
yes this works, but will reset all stats :(... i restored my titaium backup... i still missing the Web Entry in menu :(
Not quite. It's people who take these imports, and then add awful, flashy mods to them
But that also feeds the buzz about the product, which is useful given Microsoft's lack of nerd cred lately.

And some portion of people buying a Kinect for hacks will end up buying an Xbox and games, as well, for when they're not hacking, or for the kids, or whatever.

After all, if they're interested in the Kinect, they'll likely be interested in trying other peoples' applications of the technology - which may include Xbox games.
On a Delta flight, my screen was rebooting itself every couple minutes. By the time we landed I had nearly memorized the boot messages from Linux kernel 2.036, which dates back to 1998 or so.
Do the repo men know about FB Places & foursquare yet? Seems like that would make their job easy.
It's good but it could be better.

e.g:

- stack overflow running on top of that to rate comments + index questions asked on functions

- smart snippet indexer. Examples rarely cover everything

- smart way to deal with changes over multiple revisions. Functions are updated and comments are either deprecated or it's a new page.

I think one should work on something like stackoverflow but for documentation. Where you could supply some sort of parser for your specific programming language but have something uniform with all the basics.
I haven’t tried a Bloom filter, but I think for my application, the simple bit array might give better performance. The nice thing about the bit array is it works great on the worst-case. After the user has typed in 3 or 4 characters of their query, the search space has been narrowed enough where the performance isn't an issue. It’s that first or second character when the search space is large that gives problems. Using the bit array in the single character case, the 1 to 1 mapping of characters to bits gives the result directly.
If you're there, look out for me anyway. I always have leads. :)
Yes, and did you notice that a few of them -- one a professor, another who claimed to have been a freelance copy editor for 21 years -- could not spell "plagiarism"?

I'm gradually leaning toward your way of thinking.

For a long time, I had the perception, which, I believe, was the correct one, that PayPal == Amateur in the minds of your potential customers.

I believe that this is no longer the case. Well, it is the case, but it no longer matters. I still think "small time", when I see a PayPal button, but now I also think "trusted" and "easy refund". These tend to make the "small time" thought less of an issue.

I also think that it's gradually losing it's "small time", "amateur" connotations among savvy web users. For non-savvy web users, which in reality, is the larger population, it never mattered anyway, and I agonized over all of this for nothing.
"Atom chips used not as power hungry as a standard commercial cpu" is quite literally the entire point of this startup/product and the article. You had to quit reading before the second sentence to miss this:

> The startup is announcing today it has created a server with 512 Intel Atom chips that gets supercomputer performance but uses 75 percent less power and space than current servers.
I guess they'll just have to use their convenient systems for entering ASCII then huh.
Strange. Loads fine for me. Same version of Chrome on 10.5.8.
definitely! e^(i*pi) = cos(pi) + i sin(pi) = -1.
Very good points. Just for fun I've wanted to create a web app for cap tables.
I do see a potential problem here. In the pictures, they show a bunch of Atom CPUs soldered directly to the board. That means dire things for service. Now, if a single CPU has a a flaw, you need to replace an entire board of CPUs.

Compare this to a standard blade setup, where you could just swap out CPUs, or even an IBM System Z where you could hotswap the CPU, and service doesn't look so great.
Also, isn't it completely filled to capacity? I think they're unable to refill Linodes there very often due to some reason like that.
We had one of these things in the back room of an alumni development office that I worked in 10 years ago, which was used to sign appeals and thank you letters to big donors. I was surprised when I saw it, because I assumed printing technology could do a pretty good job of approximating a signature. I was told nothing could copy pen on high-grade paper.

Another outdated signing technology I encountered when I lived in Taiwan was the "chop" ( 印章) which was used to sign everything from post office receipts to contracts. It was easily fabricated, and in fact I recall a case while I was there involving a lower-level executive at a bank who made one out of soap and pulled off a scam worth tens of millions of dollars.

But when I pointed out how easy it was to copy, my Taiwanese friends pointed out that Western signatures could also be copied.
I'm pretty sure my name pretty much describes Shanley's situation.

A racist, an abuser. What an amazing fucking hypocrite.
It's pretty common for machinists in most industries (including aerospace) to lack college degrees. Studying engineering in college typically has little relevance to operating a bandsaw. A safety knowledge test before having access to the shop is standard and common sense, not elitist.
Don't work for free.

I don't just mean in terms of monetary compensation (although that too). If you haven't explained the value of your efforts to your bosses, then you should do that. If they can't understand the value of it, or don't want you to put effort into it (or aren't willing to support you while you put effort into it), then you shouldn't do it. Spend the time instead answering the phone -- that's what they want to pay you for -- and keep looking for a better job.

Somewhere up the chain of command is, hopefully, someone who thinks about everything in terms of money. Find that person and explain that the downtime and performance issues cost some amount of money every year. Do the math, come up with some real and plausible numbers. Then explain that you can fix it for probably some other amount of money. Before you go to them, make sure the first number is bigger than the second, otherwise they'll tell you you probably shouldn't be spending your time on it, and they'll be right.

Engineers have a bit of a tendency to focus on technical inefficiencies without giving enough consideration to the human or financial things in a business. The ringing phone might actually be costing the business more money than the deadlocks; some customers hate it when they call up and the phone consistently rings a dozen times or goes straight to voicemail. There might be other things that would be more important than fixing the deadlocks -- documentation tends to be a pretty common ailment.

It's great that you're taking initiative to fix some problems in the company, but be careful about feeling resentment over a lack of support for it if you haven't talked to anyone first to make sure you really should be working on this particular problem to the exclusion of other duties.

And don't do it for free.
Certain models(I think the new-gen celerons) do.
Other-wise you need to buy m-sata wifi cards.
I wonder if anyone is working on a solution to this problem. It is frustrating having to think about the consequence before clicking on each link.
My summary:

* There are 2 types of motivation- intrinsic (curiosity) and extrinsic (desire for recognition)

* It's often assumed that intrinsic + extrinsic is better than just intrinsic.

* But it seems to be that introducing extrinsic motivations can actually weaken intrinsic ones.

My takeaway: make sure you focus on the intrinsic and avoid letting extrinsic things override your intrinsic ones.

This is consistent with Dan Pink's talk (and book) about Drive, and how financial/monetary incentives change the way people approach things altogether. Not really a secret anymore, is it? But this hasn't yet fully seeped into conventional wisdom, I think.
SEEKING WORK | Bay Area, California | REMOTE

Available for assisting with technical leadership and/or guidance.

I’ve been a frontend tech lead at a large tech company and a defacto full-stack lead in a smaller company recently. My experience comes from leading and mentoring smaller engineering teams. I can help with processes, planning, software architecture, software design patterns, restructuring technical debt, code review(s) and potentially hiring.

While I am also an effective individual contributor and could help with features and bugs, but you’re probably better off with someone with a lower rate.

Depending on needs, I could be available by hour and/or fixed project commitment(s). Will also consider equity arrangements for growing and profitable businesses provided due diligence.

The wind turbine spins because of an analog of lift - without “lift” it won’t spin.

They may be of very little interest now, but never assume that peoples' tastes are static (yes, even the masses).
This is going to break in cases where the request line grows above 8k-16k. Many browsers/proxies implement limits on headers/request lines, for good reasons.

It's a very cool idea though.
Sadly running apache without any caching plugins.
I've never had those problems, but it could very well be that I never actually knew about them and just assumed people would not reply to me or assume they got my message.

Yeah my NAS is also 50cm away from me. After changing the acoustics and getting rid of the WD Reds, my NAS is now actually more quiet.

And thanks to the better thermals, due to the helium, I can reduce fan speeds significantly as well.
I can’t visit the site. First there’s an SSL cert problem and when I bypass that Verizon blocks it as malware.
Why?

DNS worked just fine with nonprofits and government entities who weren’t leeches.
Oh wow that’s super cool. I’ve been tracking Nix and NixOS for a while, but hadn’t heard of NixOps. Gonna did into that.
OK to shout Eureka when you figure this out:

I have a website where I explore the idea of "not emitting fossil fuel CO2." www.lowco2america.com

Instead of thinking in terms of "cost of extracting CO2" I have sort of stumbled on the idea of "recapitalizing America around social systems that do not emit CO2."

My scheme has a payment of $394 per metric ton of CO2 not emitted. The payment from govt. funds is a prompt no bank account required electronic transfer payment. What it can purchase is a continuing free share of the electricity generated by the workplace parking lot, or an electric car, where the car is free is provided the driver carries 2 or 3 workplace commute riders. The car runs with an average load of 1 driver and 2 or 3 riders. The payment can pay for other things or be redeemed for cash, optionally.

The ancient Chinese Tao Te Ching poem Verse 80 describes a happy society that might sound a little bit like an America that figures out how to live well with 2 mt per person CO2 emissions, maybe in 40 years?
TOTP isn't vulnerable to porting numbers, so you're safe from that threat.

Is remote desktop compromise less likely than remote phone compromise? Phones tend to sandbox each app, so a single malicious or compromised app cannot take over your phone. Desktops on the other hand allow any app to do essentially anything on your computer. Accidentally open a malicious email attachment and you're done for. Generally I consider machine/phone compromise outside of my threat model.

Is security key theft less likely than phone theft? Also, phones generally require a password or fingerprint or face to unlock, while security keys generally do not (Yubico announced a fingerprint-protected one 18 days ago, but it's not available yet).
Ah man.... the exhaustion I feel... is summed up so well by this comment.
"Art has no utility" except that I like it
Well, things like the home/end behavior and back/delete key behavior are different on OS X but behave the same on Windows, most standard linux flavors, Sun OS, many BSD flavors, and Chrome OS (I'll give you the argument that this is just linux with a coat of paint), to name a few off the top of my head.

When you take that into consideration, OS X is the odd one out.

I do agree that some of the things in the list aren't correct though, and some are definitely more subjective.
I never click yes.

Always use u block, right click and choose "block element".
How is this different from any random conspiracy theory? The term "counterfactual" is used instead of "I made a strawman?"

Edit: the reliance on "taxable income" instead of gross is interesting. Wouldn't a progressive tax policy look similar to the paper's stats since more income would be taxable for folks with lower income?

>Bitcoin is great, I agree :)

I think it's cool too, and have ~5% of my portfolio allocated to BTC, ETH and XRP.

But I don't go around pretending it solves all of the problems of the monetary system. It's better in some ways, and (much) worse in others. I also don't dedicate my life to pumping it on social media.

>It seems pretty natural to me that someone who believes in Bitcoin would also purchase it.

If only we'd have the same mentality with short sellers, but instead we label them FUD.
The volume at coinbase is more than enough to support a $1.5 billion buy.

Keep in mind that in relationship to tether, $1.5 billion is tiny. It's only 3 days of tether printing.
Dude. "This overall situation isn't ideal from my perspective" is really, REALLY not equivalent to "this particular person committed a crime".

If it's night time and you have six hours to administer the doses, you have to administer them in six hours. To someone you can contact in six hours. At night.

Your position just boils down to "I'd rather let people die than be open to a bureaucratic exception in a desperate emergency situation in the middle of a pandemic."

It's monstrous, quite frankly. You should reconsider.
I wish the media understood it was in their best interest.

Trust in journalism is soooo low because they talk about politics so much.

If they talked about what is happening (there are an unlimited number of things happening, it shouldn’t all be political, e.g. new technology, structures being built, community activities, health procedures, e.g. teach people stuff) they would be appreciated more.
That's awesome, kudos to you!

I just have a memory of shitty Shopify templates that small clothes manufacturers use. I think its pretty uncommon on small merchants.
This is misguided criticism that lays the blame on financial entities for a decades-long trend in shifting government priorities.

Who else remembers Obama's quip in the 2012 debates equivocating buying naval warships with purchasing horses and bayonets? Politicians have used the concept of a "modern 21st century military" as the rationale for decreasing naval investment in new submarines and now those same politicians are surprised that there are fewer companies that make submarines. Similarly, w.r.t. modernizing the nuclear arsenal, how can you expect a healthy competitive marketplace to exist for a product that no one has purchased in 50 years?
> How many ipv4 are in poss2of the US Gov and military? Do they really need all of those?

You're not the first person to ask this, and the answer is: not nearly enough.

Demand for IPv4 is orders of magnitude larger than the current address space. There is no level of freeing up addresses that can make this problem go away. At most we're buying us a few months until we run out again.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm over 6'1" and I still shouldn't have bothered creating an account.
All these products are great but I still can't get a Ryzen 9 3950x anywhere for fucks sake. I'm tired of waiting. Amd should work on their supplies.
Not a book, but an interesting self-guided course and apparently a great way to pick up a new language:
Make A Lisp [0],[1],[2]

Basically, work through building a lisp interpreter in any given language (C, Java,...bash, vimscript) in 10 steps. Each step is backed by tests, and these tests help to guide you through the process. Very cool.

I'm glad to find someone who has the same idea. Crypto is very niche and specific. From start, I think each coin has a narrative. It'll be very hard to change that narrative. I think Dogecoin started out as a meme and fun coin. It currently has tail emission which is not really percentage inflation. Long-term, tail emission behaves like zero supply. Adding inflation to Dogecoin won't change its narrative. I don't think its community will be supportive of a change that devalues their bags and change its narrative.

I want to create a chain that has inflation as its main feature. Its supply schedule is designed to bootstrap inflation. It looks like this:

0: 50 (supply: 10 million)

1: 25 (supply: 15 million)

2: 12.5

3: 6.25 (end of halving)

4: 6.56 (start of inflation 7%)

5: 7.02

6: 7.51

7: 8.04

8: 8.60

9: 9.20

10: 9.85 (supply: 31 million)

The chain has 7% inflation. It is a fairly high rate. It's designed to break out of Store of Value and HODL narrative.

In 2014, people were still attached to the idea of limited supply and Austrian economics. Maybe, in 2019, people will have second thought about Keynesian.

If you still have interest in the idea, please reach out to me contact@bitflate.org.
No, you can only eliminate the ones that are bad at hiding that they are creeps.
