For an insight into what happens to Symbian now, here are the short notes from the Symbian Foundation's last meeting:

http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/2010-11-24_All_councils_wr...

After Dec 17, the Symbian Foundation retains only a skeleton crew tasked with shutting down operations.

--

Nokia's representative made the following points about their plans for Symbian going forward:

- The Symbian platform remains business critical to Nokia and their estimate of selling >50m S^3-based devices still holds

- Nokia plan to develop the Symbian platform further

- Nokia are looking at an alternate open and direct model for making the platform available to the community in future. The aim is that the model "will be no less open, free and flexible" than today's
The good:

* Typography on the web is almost acceptable

* Real time interactivity has a functional standard now (websockets).

The Bad:

* Some people are spending a lot of time papering over the cracks in CSS.

* The semantic web is still 5 years away from mainstream acceptance.

The Ugly:

* Spam you will always have with you.

* OpenID still rules in theory but sucks in practice.
'Mobile' and 'Location' is the new 'web 2.0' setup at the moment. Everybody can spell these at their sleep but few know how to make profit out of it.

Another under-explored opportunity is 'social games' where unlike traditional games people focus more on social interaction than on the game dynamics and interface quality - think minecraft or farmville
Define "web developing". I know it sounds silly, but it means different things to different people - I'm a lone web designers in my spare time, some people call that web developing. Do you really mean just backend client-server interactions or do you mean GUI, UX, SEO and what-not up front too?
>OpenID/OAuth

+ Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, etc.

Authorisation via third parties, definitely a recent trend.
So strange. Not actual turkey quills and ink wells, not kid vellum or parchment, rather just regular old pens with feathers on the top and paper. Like, they very easily could have gone all the way, FB more than has the cash to spend on the authentics. Look at any signing ceremony in DC, each document gets it's own pen to save and parcel out.

But FB only went half way, and made it all even more of a parody because of that.

Like, my dudes, it isn't 2012 anymore, the internet isn't a fun place where things don't really 'count', the fratty dorm-room pastiche don't fly.
Not sure where in my post it postulates anything about "truth". The entire point of the post is to say, we don't know the truth, but in the balance of probabilities, I wouldn't trust the CCP's version.

Did you even read what I wrote, or are you just knee jerking?
If it was leaked in oct that’s far earlier then it making it out into general knowledge in Ja. But granted that doesn’t mean the world would have acted, still took most of it till like March to do anything about it lol

Oh wow! This is such a nice comment to read. Anything in particular you'd like me to write about?
That's not what is suggests: "These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may have been introduced into the United States prior to January 19, 2020."

Without Chinese data the origin will remain a mystery.
I thought that the research that Murray interpreted had been done by other people.

Coming at this from the left, I feel it might be better to suggest alternative interpretations of those results than to just avoid any discussion on the whole area.

Another thing that correlates really strongly with black people in the US is their ancestors having lived in slavery. Those ancestors were restricted in their freedom to pick a partner compared with the white population of the US at the time. This could result in genetic differences between the two groups.
> If IQ declines with age,

IQ doesn't decline with age. Pretty simply because IQ is deliberately determined in an age agnostic way: your IQ score tells how well your problem solving skills are compared to your age group.

Fluid intelligence does decline with age, but most people are said to be able to keep up fairly decently by utilizing (and building) crystalized intelligence. Now, of course, your usefulness as an engineer may very well decline with age. Though there are different roles that you can take on in most organizations. It's anecdotal, but my mother used to be a software engineer until her retirement in her sixties, as well as her colleagues she used to work with when I was a child. They started their careers in the 70s and 80s and most of them never left the field.
If you don't believe that people have a right to life, I suppose that being murdered by the state is just another notch on the spectrum of "acceptable punishment".

It's an odd contradiction to me that people who support the death penalty are mostly not ok with the state using, for example, punitive rape as a punishment, but killing is somehow okay, if the crime is severe enough.
Kids do get diagnozed with ADHD in Europe, it is real thing. Following are my speculations.

I think that threads from few days ago where basically all Americans found it normal and expected to for 5 years old to learn reading might have to do with that. If you expect too much of kids too soon, a lot of them wont be able to cope. You can then either adjust expectation or claim those kids sick.

The other difference I noted is much less physical freedom Americans give to their kids and much bigger obsession with physical safety. Their kids do a lot of organized sport, but seemingly less of "run around as you please right now on whim". Which might have been related.
> And diverse genders, but you should consider them all the same, even if we know we have diverse bodies, needs and behaviors.

The point of having the knowledge that our bodies and needs are different as dictated by sex (not gender, if you’re talking about bodies) is to respect and value each other equally despite the things that we cannot change about our biologies.

If what you just said is how adversaries of gender equality and women empowerment think, then it is no wonder that there’s a lot of toxic disagreement on the matter. I suppose it’s difficult for such people to wrap their heads around why having gender-based sports divisions is justified and not inherently sexist, and that both are equally dignified categories.
He could pay a team of 100 developers to do that.

If he really wanted to that, he would have several phones with separate numbers for exploring other messaging apps as not to cross business and personal matters.
"If someone discloses to their employer that they are seeing a therapist, it would be inappropriate for their employer to put that disclosure in a press release."

In principle yes, but not if that was the reason the person could not have the leadership role in the first place.
Should they simply automatically eat the costs then it would undoubtedly result in abuse. Just look at GitHub Actions.

Oh I didn't think I was starting 1000 instances of miners in the EC2 GPU cloud, it certainly exceeded my configured budget, please give my money back..
Mostly yes, though you can wing it a little bit by relying on swap and/or doing any big filtering operations up front. In my work, it's never been a problem, because you can cram a lot of data into 16 GB, millions of big polygons and metadata. Note also that textual formats like GeoJSON or WKT are incredibly wasteful of space because all coordinates are encoded as characters instead of floats or integers, whereas the in-memory representation is much smaller, so even huge source files are likely to fit in memory just fine. But judging by the sibling comments it does look like it's a limitation for some.
“Do ye a marriage” has to be the greatest proposal I’ve ever heard. It’s so matter-of-fact and deadpan. I love it.

If you can add an option between Seduce and Romance of “Mine body ages and the offers are few, but my family hath bequeathed land” I’m buying this game right now.

Consider the question a fashion vs function question. We've seen this in multiple industries, even the current automobile industry, and I suspect this will continue.

I'm surprised how many people don't realize that a VW Passat is a dressed down Audi (A/S/RS)6 is dressed up as Porsche Panamera.

Why do people spend hundreds of dollars on a brand of jeans, when they can buy levi's for 50 bucks (or other brands even cheaper).

The same can be said for many industries. Why did you buy the computer or keyboard you're currently typing on. Much of it may have been due to signaling, or it appealing to your tribe.

So will there be a "killer feature" for a car in the future? I suspect there isn't a killer feature today, and I don't suspect that change.
Hmm, I see that they use Stripe.
Can someone explain how does this not count as In-App-Purchases?

I would expect Apple to be all over this and apply it's Mafia cut?
I've never lived anywhere in the U.S. that gets that cold, but in my experience, I don't think Americans say that much, but rather "below freezing" to mean below 0°C/32°F.

I happen to easily remember that 20°C = 68°F and usually use that when mapping the temperatures back and forth which works for the usual ranges where I've had to do so by just adding/subtracting 5/9 on each side.

I once translated literally on the run (running the Boston marathon) for a foreigner who asked about the temperature and got a Fahrenheit response.

When I've been in other countries that use C, I've always had to translate from C back to F in my head to make sense of the temperature. The longest I've ever been any place outside the US is 10 days, and that hasn't been enough time for me to get a feel of what temps are in C.
>I also don't see

Maybe, just maybe, the domain experts involved know something you don't. Just a theory.
Any place that requires a password to fully participate in, and is also owned by some third and non-governmental entity, is not a public place.

It's that simple.
She is the one can’t-miss part of the magazine.
You have a warped view of masculinity. Some may call it toxic, even.
Plenty of good, cheap DACs built in China (e.g. Topping) have an HDMI-shaped plug (IIS) that supports PCM-over-not-HDMI which happens to be compatible with HDMI sources, but don't dare mention HDMI because they don't want to pull in an interlocking, price-gouging nonsense from the US entertainment industry.

So you don't quite need a license for the shape of the plug, but you do need to pretend it's not something that it is.
We talk about Amazon being able to do distributed systems "at scale" all the time. They also do worker exploitation at scale. There are knock-on effects -- for instance we might look at a mom and pop shop and say, "That's not ok, I won't do the bad thing they do to their employees at my shop." But we'd look at Amazon and say, "Well, if Amazon does it, then surely I can too."
Some cases of depression and especially bipolar disorder seem to have a genetic component. Parents that are on SSRIs, SNRIs, antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics are probably already much more likely to have children who have the same conditions and need antidepressants, as the underlying condition often has a genetic component.
Oh! At first I did not understand but now looks reasonable thanks
You don't understand, how planned economy works, do you?

If you were given N lightbulbs at the beginning of the year and all of them went "pop" or were "taken home", you won't have more until next year, no matter what. And by "you" here I mean support person, responsible for putting spare lightbulbs into sockets.

The scientist's performance assessment on the other hand is not tied to support supply chain troubles. He must continue with experiments and must use "hidden reserves" (disable safety system) if necessary.
How is computing downwind from QM? I would trace computing's lineage back to the invention of the transistor or the earlier vacuum tube (advancements in electrical engineering, and the beginning of electronics), and logically back to Boole.

I don't think QM has had its payoff yet, but certainly general and special relativity have paid off in things like GPS, and probably more examples that I don't know about.
So you expect to compiler to give you style points for your code?

To be clear: it isn't just coincidentally identical behaviour, it is defined by the standard to be equivalent.
For the longest time companies didn't exist. Any business tended to be associated with a single person who paid taxes. Companies as a separate legal entity are comparably young. So the tax didn't exist because there wasn't much to tax before, not because it's wrong to have one.
English is not the only language people speak you know.
Why is vDom an advantage?
Canonical's been scummy for about a decade now. This is the same company that shoved Amazon results into local desktop searches, then responded to criticisms of that with "Don't trust us? We have root.".

Pretty ironic considering the meaning of the word "ubuntu".
The legal arguments are quite straightforward. Did Google copy Oracle's APIs? Yes, they did. Could they have chosen another form of expression of the ideas in those APIs and arrived at the same technical result? Yes, they could. Was Oracle harmed by this copying? Yes they were. Therefore, Google violated copyright.

A finding not in favor of Oracle would call into question whether U.S. copyright law has any force at all. While software nerds may well be okay with this, people in literally every other field of creative endeavor -- art, music, literature, media -- may lose their shirts. And the hardest hit won't be Lady Gaga or other millionaires, it'll be the small time players.

There is no morally sensible universe in which the Supreme Court does not find for Oracle.
...is that... relevant?

Documenting every executive action taken by government - and ensuring that documentation is available in an open way - is at the heart of a decent society.
Works for me. Full-auto for the whole tribe!
Dont forget the hundreds of years of engineering required just to get to the 1911. It's not like the 1911 was pooped out one day. Pistol and revolver engineering is amazing for the fact reliability and predictability are the forefront of needs. Everything else is technically optional. It's and industry that's standing on the shoulders of giants without a doubt.

To be faaaaaair, without Colt's revolutionary wheely gat, the 1911 may not have happened when it did. Let that marinate.
The film "Brazil" was mentioned on another comment on another story a few days ago that touched on this theme, very good movie.
Apologies, not my intention. I was also under the impression seminal could be used to mean ”first” in the succession of our works and this is what I had intended to communicate.
Because making it universal is cheaper.

If you set the cutoff threshold high, then you're barely saving any money and end up spending a lot more on the bureaucracy than you'd save. On the flip side, if it's anywhere close to the income of a middle-class person then you could get an effect where earning more money makes you worse off.

Of course you can taper it off instead of making it a sudden cut-off, but that makes the bureaucracy even bigger.
Until someone gets pissed at their neighbour.
Look around on LinkedIn and ask your tech friends/(ex)colleagues. A friend of mine works at EPAM and is extremely happy there. That's the only recommendation I can make, based on their feedback, I'm even considering joining them.
I would imagine he's comparing to the typical resolution changes on Windows where everything is significantly smaller. OS X scaling does much better at replicating a normal image, and personally I find it much more comfortable of an image to stare at for extended periods.
MIT also tends to be generous with its financial aid money. When I went there, I ended up paying less than any other school that accepted me - including my state university.
The list I used has the KnC Neptune at 1.429 GHash/J which seems to be the number they advertised before the update in July 2014.

But if you have to replace your hardware every year this makes the whole thing even worse - not only are you spending over 200 millions for electricity each year, you are now also spending a similar amount on hardware.
What would you use instead of Cassandra for multi-DC replication?
Curiously, wouldn't this be the expected outcome of an economy centered around an unlimited money printer?

From a pure incentives perspective, The optimal way to make money by building things in such an economy but instead by disbursing the printed money for a fee or by taking ownership in a monopoly. In theory if one was to be the owner of a commodity business in an economy with negative interest rates, the cost of launching a new competitor will always be lower than the price of operating an existing firm.

Effectively no one would want to own ~$100 billion dollars of capital equipment as the N+1 market participant will always have a lower cost structure, meaning your $100 billion dollar investment will soon be worthless if switching costs are low.
> the sheer amount of tech in a modern missile

"Old", reliable tech is prevalent there, too.

Sqlite in missiles is a good example.
The BBC isn't run by the government, it's run by the state.
This was the British GCHQ. They were spying on non-Europeans using their roaming networks, including US citizens.

If you think there's some sort of restraint with regards to citizens of other 'five eyes' nations, I wonder how you square that with the "but everyone spies on everyone, including allies" argument that can always be found in these threads.
After reading it, it only improves a certain subreddit by 6x. It doesn't actually change much for the overall site besides the fu subreddit.
AFAIK, they don't take your I-94 if you're traveling to Canada or Mexico for under 30 days.
I've been hearing a lot of the other side since I came to Vietnam. Maybe it's just a Southern thing but most of the people I've talked to here tell me privately that they wish they had a Western-style democratic government. I think they probably see Western government through rose-colored glasses but the fact remains that saying the wrong thing about the wrong people can land you in jail here.
I also really like the simple-but-awesome tricks for multiplications:

1) (a + b)(a + c) = a(a + b + c) + bc.

Example: 13 14 = 10 * (13 + 4) + 34. You learn to "see" 13 14 --> 170 + 12 = 182.

2) (a + b)(xa + c) = a(xa + c + xb) + bc

Example: 22 * 62 = 20(62 + 32) + 22 = 1364. Here you would see that 60 = 3 20, so you add 3 * 2 to 62 to get 68, multiply by 20 to get 1360, and then add 2*2.

Edit: Er, my stars are turning into italics. You get the idea.
all my running is measured in km.

I understand their rationale. We manage thousand Kubernetes clusters and end-users can find lots and lots of creative way to shoot themselves in the foot:

- I can store anything in a secret? Let's have thousands of cat images. Etcd then stops working because we have over 2GB of funny cats in the key store.

- I can run a root Pod? Lets mount the docker socket and start building images with it. Oh and by the way, I never clean those up and my Node simply fills up. Also I add some additional docker networks that break Pod to Pod networks.

- Istio is nice - why we don't add automatic injection for Pods in all namespaces? Including kube-system? And then they brick kube-proxy and the cluster stops working.

- I can use validating webhooks for better security? Lets watch on all resources. To keep it more secure lets set the failure policy of the webhook to Fail, so we never admit any modification without the apiserver to make a call to out webhook. Whats that? My single replica webhook has was evicted from the Pod (we didn't add any resource requests and limits) and now it cannot even be created or scheduled because kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler cannot update their lease and they lost leadership and now are idling, effectively bricking the entire cluster.

Google would reduce the pain points with this change, however they would still face countless other issues with Kubernetes.
Pro tip for anyone considering doing this but for some reason haven't pulled the trigger: use the "t" cli to backup all your seemingly important stuff, then unfollow everyone and/or deactivate your account. It's like putting your old crap in a sealed bag and dumping it in a storage locker. If it occurs to you to go through the effort of opening it, then go for it. Otherwise nature takes its course.

fwiw, Twitter actually has an awesome offline archive of your data available, so you can download that before deactivating your account and have a perfect replica of the interface to browse through it all.
Sure, we could allow tax deferral on appreciation until the property is sold.
Similar to the recommendations to use a YubiKey/hardware token, SeKey on a Mac lets you use a key generated in the Secure Enclave in an unexportable form (https://github.com/sekey/sekey)
Do you use gestures at all? I have both a MacBook Pro (for work) and a Logitech K400+. Two-finger scrolling on the MBP is fine; light pressure on the touchpad is enough to scroll very smoothly. Two-finger scrolling on my X230 is also fine, if a bit jumpy - I can at least keep my place while I'm scrolling, and it still takes only light pressure to recognize the gesture.

Two-finger scrolling on the K400+ is painful. (Actually physically painful; I have RSI in my right arm and poorly-tracking touchpads can be a trigger.) It requires fairly heavy pressure on the touchpad to trigger gestures consistently (though they can be triggered inconsistently with light pressure which is also frustrating). And especially on macOS, it's difficult to actually scroll a consistent distance with a two-finger gesture with the K400+.

I'm fairly certain this has to do with the K400+'s touchpad not being recognized as a touchpad by the OS. The device is instead emitting mouse wheel events in firmware when a two-finger scroll gesture is detected. macOS will then, of course, apply mouse wheel acceleration, which makes sense for some mice but absolutely does not make sense for a touchpad.
Experience. Indirectly linked to age. When you have been driving for a number of years and have experienced how quickly and unexpectedly things can happen while driving, it's hard to completely put your life in the hands of an automated system.
This was glaringly obvious from day one.

Containers add vast complexity, add another layer of complexity on top.
Great idea! Glad to see them getting the help growing.
I wonder how many readers will recognize this famous quotation and its source.

There are more than enough examples of people jailed without trial/representation for things they've said on Facebook under the name of national security or terrorism or whatever. Law enforcement doesn't need admissible evidence to wreck someone's life.
