Binary-only version? $599 for the source code? Seriously?

(edit) To reprhase -- the pricing is basically broken.

No developer in his right mind would create a dependency on 3rd party binary library, so the binary-only version is a no go (or you will sell it to the clueless bunch and they will hammer your support to death).

The $599 needs to be broken down into multiple categories depending on the projected usage and/or deployment numbers. A very cheap ($19 or thereabouts) non-commercial use license is a must if you want devs to tinkle with your library and see if it fits their prototypes well. Then give them N days to upgrade to the commercial license if they decide to publish the app. And even then offer tiered licenses. Any given app may or may not get traction in the AppStore, so paying $599 upfront is to assume that the app will succeed. Bind the licensing terms to the number of downloads, and require upgrading one tier up once certain number of downloads is reached... this sort of thing. Essentially try and assume your customers' position and see what pricing model would work (while keeping smaller dev shops in mind).
I'd rather be able to go the other way. js->c++. But that would be much harder, I think.
I always wondered how these were created...
Huh. Meanwhile here in India, AirTel had shifted us to unlimited data midway through last year. It was always possible to buy more data for a month, but competition with the new Jio fiber meant that this change happened. Though AirTel framed it as "for the benefit of students and people WHF-ing". I don't see them being able to reverse this for a few years.

We'd been asking for an upgrade from VDSL to fiber for over a year, and due to the pandemic and competition that was done very quickly/painlessly as well. Almost within a month of Jio Fiber being announced or some such similar timeline.

This is interesting because with all the friends and other groups I've spoken to, Jio fiber's execution in our city has been quite bad. Service personnel aren't showing up and other issues including "You can't have two internet connections, get rid of AirTel/ACT first and then we can set you up."

That said, I can't wait for both providers to get together and move towards the fee-heavy side of the market in the next few years once they feel more secure. (/s)

I think it does not hurt to repost my comment again:

I think what Brochet study clearly displayed is that novice oenology students are too biased by the framework what they have been taught - they see red colored wine and they try to fit it into the framework they know.

What this study did not show was that a general public would not distinguish between red wine and colored white wine.

It also did not show that seasoned wine experts would not distinguish between red wine and colored white wine.

This is a really interesting study but it has its clear limitations and these should be acknowledged.

- We've known that there is basically no value in reading to your kids since Scarborough & Dobrich published their report in 1994.

This really isn't news.
Oh... I also find that consistency to be very important. Rather than randomly using free time... Pick a day or two of the week and block out a bit of time for the project. This gives you a reason to not just procrastinate.

Nice, I was travelling recently and was looking for something like this.

It's very easy to get a cheap phone, but touch screen phones tend to have worse battery life, and many of the entry-level phones don't have a browser or location services (GPS functionality is a big plus when travelling.
It should be quite straightforward to have a curated "market" that simply lists a subset of normal Market applications, and simply forwards the user to the purchase page for the app on the normal market, rather than creating your own distribution and transaction system.
Sorry, mistaken assumption on my part.
>strips Trump of a major source of power for him

I think you are trying to make a reasoned argument and engage in meaningful debate, but can we really make the argument that the person with the nuclear codes, in control of a budget of trillions of dollars, receives any power from a free online publishing tool?
Sure enough, they outright banned it.
Important to remember, these companies did this not from an outpouring of ethical or moral considerations, but because the next president will not tolerate them.

Edit: To be clear, I support the bans and would have loved to see them earlier. I am not lamenting them.

Wonder if this is related to the data leak, down for me too.
A color reference would help. Stitch something with standard thread samples and use that for comparison.
You mean the default prefix key. You really really don’t need to use prefix keys, like at all, in normal Vim use.

I think the answer is that their engineers overwhelmingly use the English layout keyboards and work in Cupertino. Most improvements to coding on a Mac I have seen have a design-for-self element where apple employees are eating their own dog food and want to improve the taste.
That thought crossed my mind also!

Indeed. This was my experience when a nonprofit in my area set up their geomapping for Covid-19 support. There was of course some domain growth, but I was super impressed with the tooling. Even more so now that networkx and Qneat3 support other topological use cases. All and all exciting stuff.
Doesn't 'the voice' evolve overtime though? How can a neural network evolve on its own.
The dissent explains how Android fails three of the four fair use tests. I'm not sure what the majority was smoking when they wrote this, but far better examples of fair use exist, especially uses that are noncommercial and especially are noncompetitive with the original.

Java was a mobile OS before Android literally obliterated the market after copying Java. Arguably, if Android was fair use, everything is fair use and all software copyright is fundamentally defeated by this ruling.
I think this is just an implementation issue; I'm totally fine with the government paying a living wage to people if they have the money.

The issue here is the law actually gives employers a choice: "pay living wage" or "pay nothing by not hiring someone" and I'm afraid they'll choose the latter too often. I'm worried that if you set the living wage too high, you'll push employers to take that choice more often; it'll be a nice-looking policy, but more people might be suffering.

A proposal which eliminated the "don't hire someone" choice would be more effective - either Earned-income tax credit (where employers truly compete economically, and the government fills in the salary gap up to a living wage), or direct employment by government. Both of those are less distortionary and I think achieve both of our goals - people having enough money to have good lives.
Companies with lots of cash on the balance sheet aren't necessarily just lazily "hoarding profits." Having cash on hand lets them nimbly acquire smaller companies, them lets them lock in lower interest rates on any debt, and helps them make it through rough spots without government aid (like the recent pandemic, for example).

I'd argue that these are also "good things". There's a reason corporate income taxes aren't tremendously popular among economists (even many economists on the left). Companies are capable of deciding how much cash to keep on their balance sheet, and any government nudges via tax policy are probably introducing some distortions. If we want to tax piles of stagnant wealth, we should tax the wealth directly: estate taxes and land value taxes don't introduce many distortions. If we want to tax companies, we should look at VATs (which are relatively non-distortionary), or perhaps heavy pigouvian taxes to offset negative externalities (e.g. a carbon tax).
When the Danish series The Killing was first shown in the UK it was acclaimed by both critics and audiences. Since then, there has been a boom in European dramas shown on UK TV screens, particularly thrillers. (Dramas from Italy, Germany, France, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Iceland are just some examples.)

However, what seems "fresh" at first soon becomes familiar. This is particular true of Scandinanian thrillers. Once you watch a few, you realise they swap one set of familar tropes with their own set. For example, for thrillers:

- Many red herrings in the murder case (often not making any sense but carefully planted by the writers to keep audiences guessing).

- The death of at least one major (likable) character usually after the audience has warmed to the character.

- At most a "bittersweet" ending is provided. A 'happy' ending is never executed: some distress or anxiety must always accompany the main character at the end of a series.

Sounds familar?

Newspapers feel they have an obligation to report what our representatives say, good or bad, but they also have editorials that comment on that reporting. In some cases (like The Economist) reporting and commentary are mixed together. Most newspapers believe their editorials, and how they report the news are critical to holding government accountable, and one of their missions.

I see flagging messages and banning as Twitter (and really all online platforms) version of an editorial.

The investors also believe that their 10% stake is worth more than $1B. That's why they invested. Maybe SpaceX could have got more. But at this valuation they closed the deal and now have $1B to play with. Both parties happy.
I think messaging apps are even more difficult, right? SpaceX has made around $4 billion on contracts so far which I would guess is more than whatsapp.

My favorite quote: "I wish Microsoft had their evil genius back."

Bill Gates is an amazing man in so many ways. He may have had an evil edge in business, but that ruthlessness is what brought him success. It would have been neglectful to his shareholders to act in any other way.

Now he works full time spending his fortune on making the world a better place. Truly a great man.
Very interesting research
I think part of the problem is that Ballmer doesn't have a deep technical background. And unlike Jobs, he doesn't have a world class sense of design to point him in the right direction.

Yes, and that's why I said that on their own turf, the DPNK might be able to wage a successful guerilla war. My disagreement was with the idea DPNK had a realistic chance of invading the South.

That said, I'm also not entirely convinced a guerilla war would be successful, either. The foundation of DPNK propaganda is Korean nationalism, and a good guerilla war needs an enemy that can be demonised. It would be tricky for the DPNK to try and paint the South as inhuman after harping on about unification for so long.

The last Korean war was backed by opposing superpowers, but North Korea doesn't have anyone backing it up this time. China is sympathetic because it doesn't like the idea of NK refugees flooding over its border, but it's not going to help out if a conflict begins.
I would actually be interested in not how did you get your first customer, but how did you get the ones after that.

I'm guessing your salary isn't competitive then, there are far more developers working as employees rather than founders, so you should be able to find someone willing to work for you if you're offering market rate salaries.

As an alternative consider offering benefits that larger companies can't (remote or part-time work, etc.)

So, when does this little gem get fixed?

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M005958

Sooooo many networking-related tutorials out there attempt to describe it (poorly), without any official info. Seems a long-standing oversight, especially for something so ridiculously fundamental to lower-level network code.
+1 - Same here - I guess they didn't use their customer email database to tell us about it. Kudos to them.
As a man, I've known groups of men to occasionally make crude yet seemingly hilarious remarks that they would not make in the presence of women. If your line of thinking on the subject is correct, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the answer. In the presence of men, other men make men-style remarks. In the presence of women, other women make women-style remarks. I'm not invited to my wife's girls nights with her friends, and she doesn't seem too torn up when she's not on the porch smoking cigars with me and the guys. The reason for that is we want to be able to have gender-specific conversations.

But like you mentioned, if this is happening in the workplace, that's completely wrong for anyone to do. Especially when it's preventing a woman from meeting the former vice president just because she's a woman. Is one woman at a men's only social party a buzz kill? Perhaps. Is one woman at a business meeting a buzz kill? Certainly yes, because there really should be more.
http:// equals port 80 and https:// equals port 443, the 2 ports web servers run on. Regardless of the subdomain, if you have http:// or https:// in a URL your getting a webserver. Having to specify www.whatever.com to reach the web server (i.e a website) is redundant, the URI takes care of that. Plus, the vast majority of people on the Internet don't understand protocols or the relevance of why websites start with www. When the concept of URI's and URL's were developed it was to deal with the myriad of protocols available on the early internet, the HTTP protocol was just one of many, but now that the World Wide Web is essentially the face of the Internet to the average user, I feel the tech community should adapt to the current situation and not force people to adopt our, somewhat outdated, standards. Browsers like Chrome just drop the http:// altogether now in the URL bar and the forward facing websites of organizations should drop www. too. I understand the DNS implications but it's trivial to drop the www. at the webserver level.
> Really? I didn’t realize there was a client-side problem there.

You'd need some new API for resolving a given host:service combination in a single request, which to the best of my knowledge does not exist today. With current APIs, you'd make one request to resolve the name and a separate request to resolve the service.

> I guess there’s still a security problem, though, if the SRV record points to a hostname that nameserver may not be authoritative for.

That seems like the same kind of issue that can occur today if you make a hostname you control point to an IP you don't. Both seem like similar problems with similar solutions.
The inefficiency stems from the complexity of the law. We have built up over many years an unfathomably large codex and an equally staggering infrastructure devoted to training legions of people (lawyers) in how to read, interpret and apply it.

How do we address this?

One emerging solution employs advanced AIs to pore over the reams of evidence in order to better inform lawyers of the legal situation. I can imagine extrapolating this particular methodology far enough into the future such that the entire process subsequent to arrest (processing, pre-trial hearing, trial and sentencing) might be automated to the degree that it could be accomplished within minutes instead of months.

What would society look like if we had such an "efficient" judicial system?

That's a potentially terrifying possibility. It may be that we'd end up incarcerating orders of magnitude more people; a dystopian reality. How would we then rein in such a powerful system? I have no idea.
While the single benchmark provided probably isn't statistically significant, I noticed that performance on system with 4 cores of less is worse with this patch.

If this is actually symptom of the patch, would it be possible to toggle lock behavior depending on available cores?
That is a fine film. The protagonists are, however, not ordinary citizens.

I'd highly recommend also watching Christian Petzold's Barbara [1]. It's an equally fine film, but it has a different focus.

Here, the heroine is an ordinary physician (played by Nina Hoss), banished from Berlin to some province. The film captures the nightmare for the ordinary citizen of authoritarian police states, including the depressing fact that nearly anyone in your life could be informing on you. We also see how cooperating with the state authorities can get you privileges, such as better housing.

This has been cool every time it has come back around. It is a shame it isn't more universal. One simple recipe would be to read the file tables directly for speed (like the program 'Everything') and put it in an sqlite db.

Something that at least gets halfway is 'Everything' since it indexes files extremely quickly, sorts on multiple attributes extremely quickly, and allows regular expressions. It would be better if these things were built into the OS so that tools could be built on top of them.

The shuttle main engines were all tested at Stennis Space Center in southern MS (the same test stands were used to test parts of the Saturn V for the Apollo missions).
