It's beyond me why they made the choice to move out Messages to a different app. Not only is it incredibly frustrating when I accidentally click the messages tab bar, and the entire FB app closes and another app opens, with no easy way to quickly go back (on iOS), but it also eliminated one of the very few reasons I ever needed to open FB app in the first place, to chat with people. Before, when I would open the FB app to chat with people, I would inevitably quickly look through the feed, and be exposed to one or two of their crappy ads. Now I can just open the FB Chat client and never bother with the main app. A win for me, perhaps. But a win for FB?

The one in the Americas is the only one called "Central Time". It may not be the most politically correct name, but it happens to be the only name for it I know of, and it's the only timezone with that exact name worldwide.
Isn't it basically what Source uses?
I actually did this, back in 2004 when I was obsessed with "traveling authentically." I sailed from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Cork, Ireland. It took two weeks. I was surprised at how quickly the boredom set in, as there is really nothing whatsoever to do on a boat like this once you've read and watched the few decent books/movies on board. The only scenery that changes on the open ocean is the clouds.

It was cool to interact with the crew but also strange and somewhat depressing as the life of a sailor is really not that great. The average crewman is from a very poor country and they are at sea for most of the year to support families back home that they only get to see for a few months.
I hope you didn't "reverse engineer" her blog post. She's going to call up a judge and say "Nanny Nanny, Boo boo." (her own words).

But in all seriousness, if the Chief Security Officer of Oracle sounds like the letters to the editor of my University Paper, why doesn't a company that big have someone from PR edit or co-write her posts?
Is it opposite day? You seem to mean <20ms right?
She has a point here. Static analysis does generate a lot of false positives, and it requires a pretty in-depth understanding of the code to determine whether any given hit is a real issue. Unfortunately, that sort of understanding doesn't usually come from just running a static analysis tool (or fuzzer, OWASP scanner, etc., etc.). The problem comes (and I have personally been on the receiving end of this) when running the tool results in a couple of dozen to a couple of hundred trouble tickets you can't simply ignore that say things like "I found a bug and if you don't respond I'm going to dump Oracle", "I found a bug and if you don't fix it on my schedule I'm going to post to HackerSiteDuJour" or "I found a bug pay me a bounty or I'm gonna make a big stink". And so someone will have to go and look at the report and "prove" that just like 99.999% of the time, it's a false positive, and they will have to do that for every "security" person who cranks up a tool and finds the same "vulnerability".

The problem here is:

1) She might be a writer but boy did she not convey the message I think she wanted to, which is kind of a shame.
2) She doesn't apparently much understand "reverse engineering" with more nuance than "my legal team says you can't do it so there", which is much more of a shame for someone who carries a CSO bag.

I've never used LOL. Most of all because it sounds sarcastic and I can think of better ways to sound sarcastic than using LOL. Since 20 years ago when I started communicating over the Internet I've been using the standard smiley, which is pretty old [1] and sometimes "haaaaahahahahahaha" to denote extreme laughter :-)

Hey gargarplex - on the off chance that you see this, could you send me an email? Wanted to get in touch with you regarding one-to-many supplier registration. I've saved it in the about section of my user page. Apologies in advance for the unrelated comment.
I'm confident that this is not why I say 'haha'. 'LOL' or 'lol' sounds sarcastic or at-best ironic to me. Certain people I know still use it at the end of sentences, but I (without meaning to) find it childish.
There's an Easter Egg on the site where one of the periods is a link to http://www.hooli.xyz . So yeah it was a nod to that for sure.

It wouldn't surprise me. Oracle certainly runs the same static analysis tools against their own stuff, and fixes anything legitimate.

But notice the other comment about a "well-known security researcher" "alleging" vulnerabilities that yee-haw we're already working on fixes for so we're awesome and he's lame and nanny nanny boo boo etc.

Serious cognitive dissonance there. I used to buy a lot of Oracle product. Their value proposition has grossly weakened over the last decade and a half or so, so I don't any more. But if I did, I'd be embarrassed today.

>If this restriction were to be encoded in the type system, GtkMenuShell would not be a true subtype of GtkContainer as it cannot be used in every place that a GtkContainer could be used — specifically it cannot be the target of gtk_container_add(myButton).

This is easily solvable by making the Container be a generic class "Container of <T extends Widget>". If the language supports such things of course, so not really talking about GTK specifically here. Then a Container<MenuItem> is not a subtype of Container<Widget> (so you're not violating LSP), yet you can still write code that operates on all kinds of containers without giving up any compile-time type checking.

I agree with a lot of the other things in the article, just this was not a particularly good example, because it's more about the shortcomings of a specific language than the shortcomings of subtype polymorphism in general.

I think for most of us here the appeal of booking a container ship route would be the isolation that hypothetically allows for uninterrupted programming plus the romance of the idea. On a cruise ship, you have to deal with personnel and other guests daily. Personnel might constantly be trying to engage you in social activities, you always have to tip everyone, and if you do bring a lot of computer stuff it might get stolen.

But that said, 120/day is not cheap. As a hacker getaway, you can book a hut by a fjord in Norway for far less than that...

I do think using three buttons are good -- I'm not so happy with the classic "Xerox Parc/Smalltalk" layout -- I'd prefer to have a button on the thumb (like many logitech mice have) and a scroll-wheel in the middle that's not a button.

Which leaves us with a bit of a problem for touch screens. While it might be ok to demand users to learn one and two-finger touch -- three finger touch might be going a bit too far...

I hate the Nondescript Icon Movement. The Hamburger should die together with Three Dots, Angle Brackets and other geometric shapes that have a chutzpah to call themselves icons. Not to mention they killed the Tooltips!

These things don't appear in the vacuum - the Hamburger Menu originated from the Celtic Knot Menu, which was originally at the end of the Ribbon. The Ribbon itself confused the use cases of the Menu and the Toolbar, and was rightly criticized for that.

I am just learning Emacs and it's a little paradox that this aspie guy Richard Stallman is the one who got so many things around the UI right. We are unfortunately confusing "easy to learn" with "dumbed down so much there is nothing to learn".
ES2015 doesn't have classes, it has a class statement which desugars to prototypal inheritance.

And as Self demonstrated long before Javascript even existed, prototypal inheritance is neither bizarre nor verbose let alone dangerous. As with most other things, Javascript just has a completely mangled version of it for (I can only assume) original implementation simplicity.

Britain's Nuclear Secrets: Inside Sellafield
Falling demographic is one issue, but the problem here is also due to urbanization[0]. My wife's village in Spain has a population between 50-100 during winter time and jump to over 1000 in summer time where families are back for holiday. Those people are not tourist, they are the sons, and grand-sons of the village.

Plenty of people still, just not enough jobs to keep them around all year round.

[0] Edit: Another point worth noting - real estate in the villages, even live one is extremely cheap compared to Spanish cities. You will find large houses with patio, and everything for around 10K EUR. So 10K for a whole village is not as extreme as one may think. You will still need at least 100K for a very shitty 2 bed in an average area of Madrid.

The storage isn't the important part. I think his point was more about _functional_ databases than your typical RDBMS in the sense that the experimental Scala compiler needed to model time (in terms of compiler passes and phases) in order to be able to answer "What is the value/type of this thing _at a given time_?". TBH, the talk was very little about Scala and mostly about compiler architecture.

... which is interesting, because while it demonstrates that cabs are perhaps not as damaged by Uber's business model as they claim they are, it plays into DeBlasio's arguments that Uber increases congestion.

Intuitively, I'd say Ubers spend less time driving around looking for a fare, and a more intelligent dispatching/routing model would decrease fareless miles driven. That said, if it causes a shift from subways, it would increase congestion.

I don't think this is a reason for the government to attack Uber. If traffic is a problem congestion charge type systems would be more effective, as it would 'penalize' all players equally; Uber, Taxis, and private vehicles.

Of course, there are plenty of reasons for them to attack Uber already; the contractor model, the beg-for-forgiveness model, etc.

There's also the problem of getting rid of the ash. Conventional tokamaks have divertors at the base (and sometimes the top) to get the spent plasma out of the chamber. These plates inevitably come into contact with the plasma, and we just don't have the materials to withstand that yet. We're not unimaginably far off, but it's unsolved. To add to the fun, some of the more promising materials have the rather entertaining property of being explosive under standard conditions...

I didn't beat your score on level 1, but I did create a dynamic solution in javascript. You can view it at http://pastebin.com/wMVyqvz3 (copy and paste the code into honeypot and switch the language setting to js, obviously).

My script builds a map of the level as the robot drives around, using information from the lidar scans with each step. It can then use this map to seek out unknown areas, plan movements, detect enemy movement on all 4 sides, lots of things

The framework is relatively robust. Feel free to erase my `exports.update` function and write your own. As long as you use the custom tank.forward(), tank.shoot(), tank.turn_right() (etc) functions instead of calling their api, it will build a reliable map that you can reference for better decision making.

If you want to see an ASCII version of the robot's internal view of the map, change the `var verbose = false;` to true at the top of the script. But this tends to make my browser lag after the ~60th step. So much output! But it also gives you a step-by-step breakdown of the logic for why it's making each decision. Which is interesting to watch, and useful for debugging.

The whole thing is pretty messy. And I'd like to clean it up, but after 3 days and not getting anything else accomplished in my life (like work) I need stop for a while. It was a fun proof of concept for mapping.

Got sidetracked reading through the Overture.js documentation and source, which I hadn't seen before. It seems like a really impressive Javascript framework. Live queries ie. data views, lots of great animation support, nice set of stock components... It's a real shame they put all this work into a monolithic framework rather than contributing packages / ideas / insight to something like React or the broader ecosystem. I feel like these kitchen-sink frameworks are more or less on the way out -- this is probably a fantastic body of work that few people (myself included!) will learn well enough to appreciate.
The problem with the OoO is that it's a way too expensive (in terms of power and area) in many cases. You won't ever see OoO in GPUs and DSPs, unlikely in the microcontrollers. So, VLIW and the other "stupid core, smart compiler" approaches are still legitimate and will always remain valuable.

> Why an exercise as high-impact on the joints and as potentially injurious as this hasn't been stopped has to be purely because people enjoy it so much, or they don't see an alternative.

I'm not surprised that injuries are common. My wife recently started on a running course that is being promoted by the NHS in the UK, Couch to 5K. It involves running at increasing duration interleaved with walking and is targeted at people who have not run before.

Within three weeks she had to drop-out because she had injured her knee.

Despite being 'coached' by a noted local runner, the course offered no advice on running technique. It involved being told to 'run'.

Imagine starting a Learn to Swim course and being told to just get in the pool and swim...
Perhaps they assume that to program enough to write an extension, you need to learn English. I’ve met people here in Argentina who say that. My view is that, even if that is the status quo ante (and I’m not sure it really is) it’s a status quo we must disrupt, not ossify.
