That situation is now verging on the comical. Is it really so hard to cut a new deal with Xamarin? Even if they can only offer the new Mono version for paid users in Unity Pro, they need to do something.

If Unity go another major version still using Mono 2.6, they seriously risk losing ground among developers making CPU/memory-intensive games. Or even those concerned about optimizing for mobile platforms.
I don't think "remove errors" means "remove all errors", it just means some unspecified number or category of errors will be removed. Given that, "reduce errors" is probably more clear.

Edit: oops - I meant to reply to the parent...
This comment is to programming language analysis what Pitchfork reviews are to music analysis- lots of tribalism, lots of emotion, lots of apparently non-self-aware hyperbole, and entertaining as long as what the reader is looking for is entertainment and not actual analysis of anything. If your goal as a programmer is simply to have fun, then carry on, but if your goal is to have a handle on whatever scraps of objective truth are out there (or even just to solve concrete problems) then you may want to devote at least some tiny part of your time to trying to see things from other people's perspectives. Those other people may not necessarily be correct about anything, but when it comes to engineering even the faintest wisp of objective truth is worth a lot more than strongly expressed emotions, no matter how poetic it may seem to you.
Who is complaining about the Flappy Bird clones? If the creator hadn't pulled the app, he still would have been printing out money for the foreseeable future, so I doubt he's enraged about people profiting from the idea. Out of those thousands of clones, the new winner won't be the app that carbon copies Flappy Bird most effectively, it's going to be an app that builds on the idea. If King.com, with their newfound millions, can't build a superior product to some poser "Sweets Smash Story", then they don't deserve to stay on top of the App Charts.
AFAIK you have misunderstood the data; the “open” figure is not the number of unoccupied beds, but the total number of beds available for patients (1033) of which 882 were occupied by patients already (meaning 151 unoccupied).
I imagine the advertising revenue of Parler might be constrained by advertisers willing to associate with it.

Former US Secty. Defence and head of CIA Leon Panneta had a long interview on NPR today which was highly critical of the Capitol's security response.

It is still mixing presentation with logic if you use a template file. So why do you think it is alright to violate SoC in that case?

I am not puritan or dogmatic. That's what I have been trying to convey here. I'm pragmatic to the core but I am no propagandist.

If I was asked if template languages violate SoC, I would not hesitate to reply "SURE" but I'm keeping to a minimum and I'm using logic-less flavors instead.

But reinterpreting SoC as SoT and trying to evade admitting that you guys at fault is not really something to commend you on. Too much revisionism and propaganda for my taste.
You still have to put down a 30% deposit for first home and 60% for a second, which is stark contract to 0% down payment or even borrowed down payment in US.

A main reason people buy properties is the lack of other type of investment. The public in general have no confidence in stock market. Housing is the only thing almost guaranteed to make money. As financial reforms such as allowing investing overseas kicks in, we should see money moving away to housing market.
This actually makes me pretty sad. FoundationDB was the best shot the world-at-large had at a decent distributed database.
It was the late 70's/early 80's and everything the big three made at the time was garbage. They still managed to sell over a quarter million of them in 1981, though. Nearly as many As Honda sold Civics last year.
For now, yes.

Modules are difficult to test (via regular means like `eval`) and the standard is still in the flux so we're trying to figure out the best way — https://github.com/kangax/compat-table/issues/316
Interesting. I was checking out FDB earlier this month for solving some interesting scalability challenges. I'm quite glad I hadn't decided to re-architect a bunch things based on it!

Did any of you get bitten?
The last few major purchases I made with my relatively plentiful disposable income: A pair of Doc Martens, two plane tickets to Kenya, yearly membership fee to my concierge medical clinic. None of these could be replaced by this technology. Arguably, I could make it look like I'm wearing new shoes when look down, and I could load up "Kenya" mode on my Holographic Goggles -- but nothing will replace the feel and protection of good shoes, or replicate the smells, tastes, and adventure of actual travel.

Also, I still own an iPhone 5 and don't have a particularly fancy TV...

Your same argument has been made (to a greater or lesser degree) with the advent of the industrial revolution, the Internet, cheap processors, 3D printers. There is no technology that will make wealth obsolete.
Why do you think the Fair Use section is so poorly written? I'm inclined to agree with you that it doesn't provide as much protection as some people might think, but I don't know about "zero" protection.
For a minute I thought this article was from The Onion.

Ridiculous, talking about sour grapes. Basically asking Congress to distort the market in order to help fix the failings of his crappy companies lazyness and lack of innovation over the past few years.
It certainly helped :)
Microsofts $44.6B offer was roughly assets + $20B (a fair pice). The same offer today from Microsofts perspective, would be $65B. That is no increase in cost from the previous offer, even though it is numerically higher.

Buying Yahoo today for anything less than $65B would be cheaper than the previous offer.

I was agreeing with you, and my point was that Yahoo is today still an extremely cheap buyout target. Any argument that MM has increased the market value of the US operations (which is the part she actually runs) appears unfounded.
Hm, the article says "she announced in Yahoo’s last earnings update"

Still would like to know what products saw this growth...
No it's not. Millions of PC's are sold each quarter, even though they cost as much as a TV and they get cheaper all the time. When you need it, you need it. You might wait a couple of months, but at the end of the day you have to pull the trigger based on need. It's called marginal utility. When you determine that the usefulness of a good (to you) outweighs the usefulness of the cash that good would displace, you buy it.
Not sure I would know how to spend the money...
All of the code was released today. Up until earlier today, the most recent public commit on the repo was https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commit/3432529f9c... , the commit immediately prior to the previously unseen https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commit/95f0ce1816... "Support for advertising payment addresses on profile"
I'm surprised at what seem like quite low corporate partnerships https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-donors/donors/?donationTyp... - the biggest partner being facebook with <50k? Given FreeBSD's ubiquity one might expect some company somewhere having more money for them. Well, they're clearly getting by just fine as well, but I am nonetheless surprised!
I've got a truly crazy level of food sensitivities and my mother was just about as badly off--and that makes me think of a slightly different theory that has worried me and I suspect applies to your wife:

Rather than rejecting nutrition in general the scenario that concerns me is reacting badly to something essential. All it would take is one component, not all nutrition.

To date I have reliable sources of carbohydrates and amino acids, but fatty acids are another matter. I have never found a source of highly purified fatty acids and as far as I can tell not even the TPN formulas are made that way.

I don't have gastroparesis issues but while AFIAK it was never labeled that my mother would react that way to eating something wrong. I can easily picture her getting sick from TPN containing something she was sensitive to.

It's not something that would have been of much priority for the doctors to test--if you can't tolerate all of the ingredients there's no value to knowing you can tolerate some. As far as I can tell your survival time eating no fat is a lot less than your survival time not eating, period. (If you're not eating your body draws on fat stores, thus providing fat. If you're eating but no fat the body doesn't draw on fat stores and bad things happen.)
Standardized national exams are normally very highly correlated to academic ability as represented by grades by the same teacher. Actually, where I live, this is essentially the explicit goal of the national exams - they then generate a score that normalizes the difficulty of each teacher and use it both for selection and to evaluate the accuracy of the exam and update it next year.

The data from which I learnt this isn't public AFAIK, but I'm sure similar studies exist for other countries.
Indeed, studying TGA would mean finding these people who have 2-8 hour episodes.
> Making admissions non-competitive will ruin top schools.

I never suggested that.
The processes around reporting were deemed unconstitutional, not actually putting someone on a list. The government slightly improved the process and would actually tell people if they were on the list, which was enough to satisfy the courts. After that the ACLU lost their follow-up suits and appeals.
In my experience, playwright is a lot, lot better on this than selenium.

You can even choose different events to wait for!

That said, there's no accounting for developers who think FOUCs are normal, etc and generally make your life as a tester and end user difficult.
IIRC it does not help because the trees will decay into CO2 after they die. So you'd basically have to bury the dead treas if you want to prevent the carbon from entering the atmosphere again.
I have a corollary of sorts:

A framework is only as good as its UI.

This is a widely neglected point. Only game engines tend to understand this fully (e.g. Unreal Engine's editor). But Smalltalk and NextStep/Cocoa had a grasp of this too.

Even without a GUI, the interface matters. Rails' "generate" and "console" commands are a major part of its appeal.
That's a completely trollish comment.
The Silverlight perspective is probably right since Steve is a long-time .NET developer who recently took a job at Microsoft.
Actually, you're the one trolling. The parent didn't say Israel is evil; he stated that Israel has taken actions that stifle Palestine. That is an objective fact and one that is separate from whether or not Israel is justified in doing so. You're going out of your way to project your opinions onto the commenter because he stated a fact.

In short, you're doing precisely what you just accused the parent commenter of doing, but wrapping it up in pseudo-logic.
Are you implying that a programmer of age 20 is better than one of age 30?

Well, I'm just a BSc and only 28, but I can certainly say that I'm a better programmer now than I have been at 20. I would account the same to any programmer I have known over the years.

I'm not implying there are no good 20yo programmers. I'm saying if they keep studying, they will be better when they reach 30.

Plus, HN just recently featured an article stating the human brain does not deteriorate at all if you keep using it.
Looks good, I'll be checking out the NeoSmart stuff.

The question is if there are more people like you there. I think you can find a good programmer in any region, but there needs to be a good amount of them in order to create something substantial. So I am yet to be convinced that it's a myth that there's a low amount of talent in Palestine.
From personal experience, all four of the Microsoft marketing employees I've interacted with have been complete tools.
On the plus side, the urge to troll attenuates with age as well.
To answer your question - Why is this different then a street protest in front of a store?

Protesting in front of a store doesn't stop others from going in. WHen you take part in a Distributed Denial of Service attack, you are denying access to that resource for others. This is not an expression of speech, more a case of vandalism (or at least picketing and blocking people from getting through). For businesses that solely exist on the web, DDoS attacks can cause massive amounts of financial impact. While for the ideologically motivated this can be a big draw (as it may well encourage change in behaviour if picked up if enough financial damage is caused) the fact remains that there is a substantial difference between expressing your disagreement in volume and deliberately causing damage. The former should be absolutely protected. The latter should be (and is at least in the UK) absolutely criminal.
The problem is that the people who are doing it to become a professor are playing a game that is stacked against them. And if/when you lose that game you're well behind your peers in opportunity cost (see my other post).

I know several brilliant scientists (postdocs and PhD students) from my time at Princeton who had / are having a very hard time finding an academic job. At some point even the purest motivations will succumb to feeling used in these circumstances.
In first page of search results for 1650 - 1724 I saw 4 different words OCR'd as "shit": This, that, first, and shit.

"first" looks like "firft", but "This" and "that" look pretty standard.
One approach is to roll the dice founding a startup, work really hard for 3-10 years, and, if successful, retire.

I get the impression you want the lowest peak of work intensity, but trying to earn all of your life's money fast and up front may be total overall less work (averaged over a lifetime).

This doesn't fit your requirements, I know, but it might be something to think about: enabling laziness by being maximally un-lazy up front.
And why exactly does Signal need to be a kitchen sink app? What's next, CandyCrush inside Signal?
PGP doesn't have this problem
I think it won't be problematic as if someone doesn't want to create wallet they dont have to. So this payment option will be for only those who wants to enable it.
Sending payments across the world is going to get as simple as sending a text message with or without signal. While I don't agree on the details, Signal is heading in the right direction.
Does Moxie want to just make it really easy to buy cocaine on a night out?
It seems likely that the cost of refurbishing the machines near the time they turn them back on (if they ever do) is very likely cheaper than maintaining them and running small amounts over 10 years. Even if they don't do production they can inspect and maintain the machines as necessary to ensure the most coat effective approach. Furthermore I would expect that these machines will be used for other coins so it is likely a non-issue anyways.
> In today's world, I have yet to see something which is not monetizable.

Plenty of artists out there who love making art, and yet their art is simply not sellable. For many people this would be a source of disappointment, but for a lucky few they may realize they just enjoy creating art for its own sake, and not to sell it.
Is there any experience to corroborate it, or is this your impression?

My wife is doing an MBA right now, on a top-100 uni globally; so not Harvard but good. I am genuinely impressed at the breadth and detail they go into.

As I say, these don’t turn you into experts or experienced business people, but from my perspective, very valuable.

A bohrbug, by opposition, is a "good, solid bug". Like the deterministic Bohr atom model, they do not change their behavior and are relatively easily detected.[12][13]

A mandelbug (named after Benoît Mandelbrot's fractal) is a bug whose causes are so complex it defies repair, or makes its behavior appear chaotic or even non-deterministic.[2] The term also refers to a bug that exhibits fractal behavior (that is, self-similarity) by revealing more bugs (the deeper a developer goes into the code to fix it the more bugs they find).[citation needed]

A schrödinbug or schroedinbug (named after Erwin Schrödinger and his thought experiment) is a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.[5]

A hindenbug [14] (named after the Hindenburg disaster) is a bug with catastrophic behavior.

A higgs-bugson [15][16] (named after the Higgs boson particle) is a bug that is predicted to exist based upon other observed conditions (most commonly, vaguely related log entries and anecdotal user reports) but is difficult, if not impossible, to artificially reproduce in a development or test environment. The term may also refer to a bug that is obvious in the code (mathematically proven), but which cannot be seen in execution (yet difficult or impossible to actually find in existence)."

Again, why you don't you go sign up for the labor-intensive warehouse and delivery work, with significant risk of contracting COVID-19 while having poor health coverage and no sick leave, along with people demanding that you should absolutely be forced to work those conditions? Please, go volunteer your time, you seem to so apt to make other people's jobs mandatory, and oddly they are jobs you don't seem to want to do!

It again sounds like you only want to volunteer your time to this crisis if it involves the unlikely circumstance of strike busting. Very noble. I hope you gave yourself a big pat on the back.

I'm fine with a bailout of some companies as long as the shareholders bear the burden and the taxpayers have a plausible scenario for upside.

Want $65B Boeing? Okay -- we'll give that you that as a capital injection against your cap table. Preferred stock with preferences and at a discount. Oh, your market capitalization is only $53B right now? I guess that makes the US treasury your largest shareholder.

Existing shareholders get what's coming to them: Massive dilution. The government gains an enviable equity position that they can eventually exit at hopefully a large profit.

Over the next decade, the government responsibly liquidates these positions. Those liquidation events can be spent servicing our ballooning national debt and underfunded entitlements.

This is the exact same deal a startup would get if they were in a similar position and went back to investors for cash from an unfavorable position.

I don't think it's entirely clear from the article what 'cycle' should mean in this context. But 1/50 of a degree matches relatively closely to the traditional Snellen (as in the guy who made the eye charts) definition of normal vision (20/20 or 6/6 in metric countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity#Normal_vision) as being able to discern letters whose features were 1 minute of arc(e.g. 1/60 of a degree). At 12 inches, the angle subtended by a pixel (which is, I think, the corresponding minimum feature size) is arcsine( (1 in /326)/12 in) is 0.88 minutes (that is, less than the 1 minute Snellen definition of normal vision, which is in turn smaller than the 1/50 definition that this guy gives).

So I think Soneira guy is off base. But I think the much bigger problem is that both Soneira and the 1 minute definition are talking about the acuity of a 'normal' person, and seem to be largely ignoring the issue of a significant variation in the population. My question is, for what portion of the population does this display exceed the limits of their visual acuity?

I've always loved X. When I was first introduced to Unix (DEC) a little more than 10 years ago, it absolutely stood out as the killer feature. It still does (although apt-get is now a close second). The _only_ issue with X is audio, and I think that is its achilles heel. I know there are workarounds, but any other client-server windowing system must include audio natively for it to be a viable replacement.
You're right, this place is rife with technological supermen. Give me a sawzall and an acetylene torch and I could 'hack' the Gibson.
Ah, then that's actually a pretty compelling use case. Not a "here's how you can do it" so much as a "here's how we did it (and kept you customers safe from the baddies)".
That's the wrong way of looking at it, which is why you arrived at the wrong conclusion.
This is not a "no way in hell" issue. The issue of whether Congress should have the power to issue paper money or make them legal tender was debated at the Constitutional convention and left unresolved: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_Tender_Cases#Original_int.... An explicit part of the concern at the Constitutional convention was about not wanting to bind the hands of a future Congress with regards to paper money. Supreme Court cases in the 19th century determined that the power to make notes legal tender was incident to Congress's power to borrow money on the credit of the United States and to "coin Money" and to "regulate the Value thereof."

To be fair, this is actually one of the more plausible ones of the various "everything is unconstitutional" myths. At least some of the framers clearly did want to tie the hands of the federal government when it came to making paper money legal tender.
