Just like SIP, XMPP is one thing on paper (with all extensions) and a different thing in reality, where different clients communicate through different servers with different set of extensions.

What you can always do reliably is have a buddy list with status presence, and do 1-1 chats. In my company, with all Linux clients, we couldn't even manage to send files reliably across different clients.

What Google and Facebook need across a messaging service is much more:

* sending pictures, displayed inline
* sending audio messages
* making phone and video calls
* sending money
* being battery friendly through push notifications
* having chat history reliably stored across devices
* persistent group chats with advanced client-level tuning (eg: turn off notifications), again shared through multiple devices

Notice that most of these features require implementation and design on both the server and client level; not having control over client implementations means it might take many years to get a feature standardized and adopted by the majority of clients.

I think Google really tried to make XMPP go forward, but in the end it was slowly them down too much compared to competitors going full proprietary like Apple.

Someone on the internet made fun of the author, and the author rebuts this by saying that he gets paid to do it.

Who cares?
Design can mean different things to different people.

While you don't need to have a very flashy and attractive website, you do need a clean and usable user interface, and stuff like clean colors and typography.
i can totally understand the frustration ...

for the last year, people at work used the "budget cuts" argument and hiring freeze and what not to justify any upgrades or raises. Now come around this year, I get the budget cut excuse for our department while people at higher positions get a promotion and a paygrade bump. I am just waiting for a few more days to see if they consider it again or i'm going out of the door because I ain't seeing any love or appreciation for busting my ass to keep things up and running and just am just getting tired of getting an empty pat on the back ..
> Being honest and truthful is a big factor is the security clearance process.

I would say that knowing how to lie well is a big factor in the clearance process. Being too honest can hurt you as we read in the article.

> Honesty is a sign of your loyalty to US.

That is why one should appear to be honest if they want to appear to be loyal.

As far as polygraph tests -- they only work if those who administer convince you that they work.
I would say it could still be susceptible to malware since a lot of it gets installed on account of user stupidity, but anything that requires exploitation of a specific memory address will fail. Of course though, I think the latest version of Windows has protection against that as well by making it difficult or impossible to determine what addresses will be used when a program is ran. (Maybe, my memory of that is admittedly fuzzy.)
(From the starting sentence "You'll pardon me for mentioning it, but your house is on fire.")
I think this is a great. The traditional television networks have outlived their usefulness. I've been waiting years for a production company to bypass the network and sell their product directly to audiences. There are so many great productions that many people never get to see, because they are not 'picked up'. Likewise, the production of many programs have lost their way, concentrating more on limos, assistants to the assistants, expensive catering and massages than actual production of creative content.

I was hopeful when The Guild became popular enough to get funded by Microsoft. Then again when Joss Whedon, a major producer/director/writer, created Doctor Horrible (and it became profitable). Now, with an actual 'television' series perhaps we're finally going to see the beginning of the transition to online distribution?

Fingers crossed.
Their fanta is a darker orange too!
It will again for something. iTunes for some reason REQUIRES Windows 10 now. Why I can't fathom but it does. For games I can't see directstorage being backported to 8 either.
> Create a browser extension that watches while someone browses Twitter, and puts any tweets they see on the TWITCHAIN. If you provide an unseen tweet to the chain, you get TWITCOIN. 100k people would install this, and you’d scrape Twitter quite quickly.

I can't tell if the author is serious or not. This seems like the most roundabout (and optimistic) way to solve this problem possible.

But more generally, Twitter is tweets, and tweets are written by people, and lots of folks think the promise of "free money" is a bad one. Your weird uncle switching does little to help this plan, you need Matt Levine and Popehat and all the other prolific posters to move. This plan, at its core, tries to attack Twitter the wrong way. It tries to replace the utility of Twitter (reading tweets by interesting people) with financial incentive.

Honestly a great way to waste a billion dollars.
I don’t understand that either. Even on-site jobs don’t pay the same whether you’re in the US or Europe working for the same company - IT salaries in Europe are, even in countries like Ireland and Germany, lower than their US counterparts even though the taxes and cost of living can be higher.

Even in the US salaries are different based upon where you live - SFO or NYC vs. Kansas.
nutrimatic.org is a tool built for this kind of query. Also super useful for puzzle hunts :)

Here's a query replicating the article's search: https://nutrimatic.org/?q=l%3C_t__%3E&go=Go
I understand the centrality of the god-figure's death and resurrection, following the Osiris tradition cemented millennia before the time of the hebraic patriarchy. But it is one thing to be killed and resurrected, and wholly another to be recorded gadding around preaching doctrine, first. I don't think there is anything in Paul about that.

That Paul does not encompass the whole of later writing is far from surprising. Making a new religion is hard and thirsty work, and you don't know what will be needed until you have got congregations and sees together, and seen what would need shoring up.

I have also seen how the whole "redeeming original sin" rationale for the resurrection stunt was invented maybe centuries later, and that various sects had numerous other theories about it, until it was recognized that the question was causing too much dissension, and one theory had to be picked to rally around.

I get that people can be upset at discussion of possible ahistoricity of a Jesus figure. I can't see how anybody who has faith could be upset about it, though; to be upset about it, it seems to me you would have to have doubts yourself, and fear that discussion might turn up more facts that would cause you even more doubt.

In any case, citations of documentary evidence all of which was in the possession of the Church for millennia, and which it generally would have had to take initiative to transcribe before its paper rotted and crumbled, cannot establish any objective authority. The Church is the prototypical Interested Party. Certainly we have copious examples of forgery both early and late, so we need more than ordinary attestation to establish facts.
What is your source on that? You do not have to be a publicly traded company to get source code Access, the source code is actually pretty well written and maintained. With the new approach of features being delivered in packages you get all the source directly in c#.
>It's ok, though, each upload has some sort of nominally unique identifier associated with it, so it's not trivial to just download other people's backups.

This part confuses me. If it matters who ends up with your backups that implies that the backups are not protected. Then wouldn't you be more concerned about access to your backups by the Freedom Phone people?
Thats usually accounted for separately from depreciation
Ah, yes, Notorious M.I.T.

Which famous colleges do you have in mind here?
As much as I would like to consider the outlook that US can possibly improve Afghanistan as an industrialized nation, create jobs, increase GDP and whatnot... it just boils down to historical autonomy. Afghanistan, no matter how many years they are at war and political turmoil, does not want any outside entity breathing down their throats no matter how "benevolent" their intentions are. If the US only came in as an economy-oriented entity instead of a war-figure, then the story might change.

This is not going to be a good example, but unless you give consent, do you want some overwhelming authority barging into your household saying that they struck gold while you and your significant other are having a disagreement (and that you've been doing this and resolving for a while)?

But then again, who am I to steer things like these? Government contractors make up a good percentage of our economy, technology included.
"""Generally, they talk about how its affects girls. My point is that flip-side (effeminate princes) is not a major social issue to them, the same way comic shops marketed and targeted to boys aren't a major issue to boys."""

I actually agree with you. It's been a while since I used PHP much, but the last time I did some work in, erm, I think it was Symfony, I remember thinking that PHP was pretty nice for the template layer. That may partly be because I'd got used to Django, which had an aggressively simplistic template layer at the time.

Edit: By which I mean, Symfony improves things by working around PHP's suboptimal default.
Agree that their stewardship has been lacking (especially in comparison to say Apache, Docker, etc), but for research code this is a pretty nice release in terms of the scope of problems solved. For research it's more important to have an implementation of what worked (and what /didn't/) than a polished solution + well-kept community because a lot of the current code will probably get thrown away eventually anyways. The service here is research done rather than software provided.
Haha yes, Machine Learning is often still a flawed, human-intensive process today — I feel
like it's important for people to understand that.
Both have a type safe API. Go-redis supports more commands. This client is significantly faster, especially with concurrent use.
Do you have any size restriction? Can it be applied to the wheel of a truck or bus?

I think you should add more images to the gallery.

I'm in the camp of moving my stuff out of GitHub (thankfully so many nice options, like GitLab, gitea/gogs, and of course sourcehut) because the only reason I do not hate Microsoft is that I was able to avoid any of their tech successfully for the past 15 years.

In it for the money, and gone if there's nothing more to capture. Simple story. That's exactly how something like a community does not work.
He wore it in public and as a representative of a state agency. The fact that a woman made it doesn’t impact anything; he had a complete lack of sensitivity, and he apologized, and he didn’t get fired. What is there to discuss?

FWIW I preserved my original comment in good faith. I don’t appreciate your not recognizing my edits.
Type assertions happen during runtime, thus using reflections. There is no other way than to use reflections.
"Bitllama Ltd" does not exist according to Companies House. Are you aware of the legal risks that entails?
At a macro level, we need perspective. This year around 3 million people will die for various reasons in the US. 15K deaths would be a rounding error, and even 100K wouldn't move the needle much.

COVID19 is scary and we should respond, but we are panicking well out of proportion to the threat. We should continue to make our best effort to prevent it from spreading while getting society back to some kind of normal footing, and then use the lesson as an opportunity to improve our preparations and planning for the next time.
My wife ordered a cat tree yesterday. It's supposed to arrive Tuesday.

IMO, Amazon shouldn't have sold it to her.
Windows is much more bloated with legacy crap, they don’t design their own chips and they haven’t done architecture transitions twice already.
Do CDC do the same as UK, who apparently report all additional Winter deaths as "flu" (which rather helpfully for the government shifts focus away from poor elderly care during "austerity", still being cut further AFAICT). Only the ONS (Office for National Statistics) also report the actual verified data on flu and instead of numbers O(10k) it's O(100).

For 2017, the most recent year, it's ~450 deaths total for the UK [1], vs an anticipated infection rate of 20% of the adult population and 50% of the rest. That's 450/15M, 0.003%.

Reported death rates are O(1%) for Covid19.

Could you explain that discrepancy?

The BMJ (British Medical Journal) has some discussion of the controversy of over-reporting of flu deaths here [2].

Re those CDC figures, do you really have ~200,000 people hospitalised with flu each month in USA?

I am doing what I can to make resources available online. I've done this a long time. I'm encouraged to see a lot of online resources popping up in response to this.

My hope is that the most vulnerable areas will get some relief from local issues because of the availability of online resources.

I run a Citizen Planners subforum. I write a bit about making money online. Etc.

There's a lot of free information available online and the internet proved to be a hugely helpful thing for me when I was homeless. It's proving to be a big deal for helping people cope in the face of quarantines, etc.

I'm cautiously optimistic -- assuming we continue to take it seriously and don't decide it's time to dance in the streets and party like it's 1999.

China sees drop in new coronavirus cases; all new cases imported, March 22

https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/fmz3d6/while_china_c...

Translated: On March 20th, A local community management issued a notice, stating that one of the unit has 2 patient found, the unit will be sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

It essentaily means that they are starving to death in the room.

Don’t trust the Chinese government’s propaganda
At least this design doesn't need TP.
Why don't you have admin on your gaming computer?
The point is that knowing the function doesn't easily yield an X.
Yessir -- I'll vigorously defend your right to code in a style that floats your boat, but that's not what your blog post is: it's an evangelization of semicolon-free, paren-first style (hereafter known as SchlueterScript). You're asking the JS thought leaders to stop slandering your chosen syntax, and this comment thread contains a hundred reasons why most folks would rather not. I can dig the groovy art project also known as npm, and at the same time also rather not come across more SchlueterScript in the wild. A bit hypocritical, sure, but also heartfelt.
Thanks, I need some direction here.

I'm testing it out on my dev, and the login button is not turning into a logout button even when I am logged in via facebook.

Also, FB.logout(); is logging the user out of facebook, which probably isn't desirable.

Is this only happening on my end?
I had that happen to me for most of 2008.

A couple of "route finder" reviews posts on an old personal blog of mine suddenly did well on Google and, as was the trend, I had Adsense on my site. Just from those few posts, I earned between $2000-$5000 most months of that year (with one stray month just shy of $10000) and did little "real" work that year. In 2009, Google penalized the blog because I got greedy and started running "text link ads" on the front page (dumb idea). Traffic crashed and the income stream disappeared.

I eventually got the penalty lifted but by then a lot of people had figured out that ranking highly for the names of the top route finders was a goldmine and now my posts are on page 2 rather than in the top 5 results and make rather little.

Interesting while it lasted but the work I'm doing now to produce an income feels more rewarding than checking Adsense 20 times a day ;-)
If I wanted to talk to other people, I wouldn't be sitting at my computer browsing the web.
Sounds like arm twisting, but does anyone have an alternative plan?
Who sees Facebook as "professional?" It strikes me as a haven for noise from stupid games and ridiculous apps that are trivially amusing at best.

I can't help but think that if the world needs another social network (something I am not sure of in the first place) that one niche that needs to be filled is "useful social network;" something for professionals who are looking to get work done. Yeah, LinkedIn touches on that, but seems to be more about cataloging connections than about collaborating with people.

Anyway, what - in you guys' mind - would make a site (say, Tumblr) "hip and cool" where Facebook isn't?
I didn't want to do this in the 90s, and I don't want to do it now.

I'm willing to bet that any website with the critical mass of users required for there to be any likelihood that there will be enough people to chat with, will be too popular for there to be a good enough quality of chatter for me to want to chat to.
I really like this idea. Not only for casual chatting but as a way for companies/brands to connect with users/followers.

That sounds like tipjoy, a great idea that failed to achieve product/market fit.
No worries. That's what I was thinking too. The hash isn't my credit card number. Still. This is a very impractical way to "encrypt" a credit card number for transmission
The iTunes Music Store hasn't been using DRM for a long time. You can also upgrade your music with DRM to non-DRM. versions but it will cost you money. (This is exactly the reason why I didn't buy any music with DRM. I don't know how you could ever do that.)

It's a bit hidden but it's easy to do.
To me, the parent as well as your comment sounds a little bit too apologetic. The waters are not totally uncharted and the outage was disproportionate. AWS isn't a research project, it's a commercial offering, so they have to take some blame. That re-mirroring storm was not completely unforeseeable. It's exactly the thing you have to consider when designing these kinds of systems.
What if amazon simply made a good itunes clone with simple export to ipod etc.? Many established businesses can be attacked by offering the same, only better or cheaper. Or isnt it as obvious as i think?
It's containerd and nerdctl by default. You can configure it to use dockerd and docker.
I like knowing what compiler errors I've made in near real time feedback. Also useful for running tests on save.
> Hearing opinions that you don't agree with is a necessary result of free speech.

And as an organisation (or algorithm), being an arbiter of the rules is unfathomably hard. When is something disagreeable, and when does it encite violence?
But, at an individual level, it should be easy for you to control the type of content you see.

As an example, if I'd reported one of Elon Musk's Tweets, Twitter could ask me why, and then help me identify and sever the connection that led to me being shown it in the first place.

I'm sorry to say, but the "if you don't like that post, I can make it invisible to you (but not to others)" approach to content moderation is utter bullshit.

It encourages filter bubbles by expecting you to tune out content you don't agree with; It normalizes a situation in which everyone sees a slightly different version of the same conversation. But most importantly, there are a number of situations where you have legitimate reasons to hide content from others. An example is cyberbullying: The essence of cyberbullying is that others talk about you behind your back. Hiding that content from yourself is completely useless. You likely weren't the address in the first place and it won't stop the harmful effects, which are the real-world actions of those who have talked about you. In such a case, nothing short of actual moderation helps.

They were under absolutely no obligation to do this. Anyone could predict that some subset of their users would get pissy about it. They did it anyways because it was the right thing to do. My esteem for LinkedIn just grew by leaps.
Yes. Once we've nailed what people want w/ Chrome, we'll pick the next browser to tackle. Would love to hear people's thoughts on that
As I pointed out on another post yesterday, there's no central repository for security information. Everyone is left up to their own devices to determine the current best practices. And then implement them. The fact that it was 'started' a year after AES doesn't really mean much. (And 'started' or 'launched'? Those are quite different.)

And in either case, "how photographers tried to capture" seems to be entirely described as: they made a composite image and changed the date and re-released the same image every time there was interest. I expected a little more detail of how the composite was made from that title.
One of the benefits of a basic income program is that it doesn't cause a cliff effect. Same with universal health care. Universal benefit programs don't cause cliff effects; the more you try to narrowly distribute benefits to the 'deserving' needy, the more likely you are to cause such an effect.
