Looks good and seems well built.

However - like Bootstrap - it has this kind of mark-up that I'm starting to strongly dislike:

<div class="ms-Grid-col ms-u-sm6 ms-u-md8 ms-u-lg10">Second</div>

I get that this - like Bootstrap - is nice to get a quick start and start deploying but, as thing grows, it gets harder and harder to maintain.

I'm not all for a semantics panacea but this is hard to read and, I imagine, harder for the browser to parse. Nowadays, I'd rather be very dumb with CSS (just one class) and let SASS handle the complexity.

In this case, I'd create a class with an adequate and meaningful name and, in SASS, do the composition they're doing in the class attribute - @extend the needed column definitions per media-query. I like the idea of having the class/style composition duty done at SASS compile time and not by the browser at runtime.

it's probably that the xbox is better supported currently actually. I think the xbox has historically had better support (Gears of War probably pushed a lot of code into the engine)

That was quite the performance!

> Firstly, what do you base that number on? The cellular technology's capacity, historical network usage data and their wired backhaul capacity analyzed in the context of the cost of ongoing network capacity expansions?

Yes.

If you think cellular networks are built to handle anywhere close to 2TB a month per user you are extremely uninformed.

> How does or should any one user know when their data usage starts to be inhospitable to their fellow customers?

I think you're the one being dishonest here. At 2TB+ a month of data usage that you've acquired after altering your phone's functionality to intentionally get around T-Mobile's restrictions, that is so obviously crossing a line that one should not have to "wonder" if they are using the service as it was intended. I'd actually have to wonder how a single customer reaches 2TB in transfers. My household downloads its fair share of ISO's, Netflix series', software updates, games, backups etc. and doesn't come anywhere close to 2TB on our fibre connection.

> I suddenly have to meter my usage, with little guidance, because using what I thought I bought from T-Mobile will prevent T-Mobile's other customers from access to what they bought?

You thought you were buying the right to circumvent their usage restrictions? What?

You don't have to do anything. You are not a lone user on a network just as you are not a lone citizen on this planet. We share resources. You can behave however you choose to. If you want to max out your connection and skirt a service provider's policy to maximize what you feel you're entitled to in your business arrangement with them, be my guest. Just don't think I have accept your rationale for doing so.
> Middle-to-low income men are not represented by any powerful lobby or movement (because that would be branded misogynistic and/or racist).

Lots of things that would be (and are!) labeled misogynistic and/or racist are represented by powerful lobbies and movements, so the logic there doesn't follow. It may be that middle-to-low income men are not represented by any powerful lobby or movement, but if so, the reason you offer is not the reason why.

(The reason why is probably that middle-to-low income men don't, as a class, necessarily have lots of free money to devote to political causes, and, to extent that people in that class do devote money to such causes, they don't do so around their identity as "middle-to-low income men".)

Well, I guess I'll have to respond to these extensive edits you've made.

> For example I can't see any way in which working at a particular company defines whether or not someone is a good programmer.

Some companies have stricter hiring standards than others. Thus the probability that a candidate is worth hiring is higher, because they already passed that company's tests. Plus, they'll have experience working on whatever the company's working on -- you can expect somebody to be a better foo developer if they've done foo before.

> Can you explain to me precisely how you can measure someone's capability as a computer programmer via their GPA?

I never claimed you precisely measure that, did I?

But obviously, somebody with a 3.5 GPA is much more likely to be a good programmer than somebody with a 2.0 GPA. If you have a 2.0 GPA, you're most likely stupid, and even with four years of mitigating circumstances there's a huge set of people that could not get such a low number even if they had a policy of not caring about their grades at all except to show up for exams.

> Even what someone majored in.... can you say exactly in detailed terms how this defines whether or not someone is a good computer programmer?

For example at my alma mater the CS major was filled with gamedev-wannabes, and programming-inclined EE students were far better on average.

Also, all your new questions in your post's edit are still putting everything in terms of If X then 100%-Y. Why?
According to moonwalking with Einstein, no, it doesn't. And the author makes a pretty good argument about how chess players can easily remember the placement of multiple chess pieces on a board - as long as they are all in legal positions.

Show a chess player a board full of randomly placed pieces and they'll have great trouble remembering the placements. So if their memory doesn't even transfer to chess pieces, how can we expect it to transfer to other domains?

Those Dublin treaty rules are pretty bad - 'freedom of movement for me, but not for thee.' It speaks to an unworthy hypocrisy within the European liberal project...though having said that, my view of European democratic institutions is becoming increasingly jaundiced.
Congrats on considering moving to the most awesome city in the world. ;)

The Philly tech scene is small but dynamic and growing every day. For a sense of the scene, read Technically Philly and subscribe to the Philly Startup Leaders listserv [2]. The major clusters are Old City Philadelphia, home to N3RD Street and other related makerspaces, Center City, University City (near UPenn/Drexel), Northern Liberties as was mentioned. There are a bunch of suburban tech clusters as well, and the city is pretty evenly split between the two, I'd say.

There are tons of meetups in any given week on anything ranging from VR to Android to data. There are a couple of big conferences here every year including Emerging Tech for the Enterprise [4]. We also just hosted FOSCON. We have an active geek community in Geekadelphia [5].

Big companies (depends on what you think of as big): DuckDuckGo, Curalate, Linode is relocating here, Comcast is the number one employer in the region and is increasingly working on more cutting-edge tech projects (although obviously also still has all the features of a large corporate entity), Urban Outfitters down in Navy Yard. Then there are plenty of pharma , financial, and eds that make up the meat of the city's white-collar industry: GlaxoSmithKline, PNC, Temple, Drexel, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, etc.

Where to live? A loaded question depending on what you value. Some people live in the city to be close to everything. The coolest neighborhoods right now are Northern Liberties and Fairmount, probably. Some people live in the burbs for the schools. Some burbs are closer and more accessible by train than others. Depends on what you're looking for.

Any more details, feel free to shoot me an email. It's my profile. I'm happy to answer questions!

I wish Swedish schools would stop basing all education on Y and reintroduce X as the main driver.

For the last 15 years (Since Y became popular) the school system has done nothing but deliver absolutely worthless human beings.
no. If someone has a model that tells them everything is about to get cheaper in the next 2 hours and will and cost 50 cents, then rushing in to sell the bundle for $1 is not irrational.
The change of terms was "calories in / calories out" --> "caloric deficit", which ignores the stomach's efficiency in absorbing calories from ingested food (calories in), as well as individual metabolism (burn rate at rest, efficiency of caloric usage). Some people can absorb calories from food more efficiently than others, one theory with some scientific support is it is due to different enzymes in the digestive system.
Interesting, thanks for the link. I do wonder why they cost the same as other popular router companies for a lot more built in functionality. Either they are able to do a lot in software, they are using cheaper components, or they are pricing so their profits aren't as high so they can get some market traction.

Unlikely: there were a ton of server, desktop, and embedded virtualization projects and products before QubesOS. I listed them on their mailing list asking why they were reinventing the wheel instead of building on established work or improving hardware after they showed it was so flawed. Joanna's counter-arguments were disturbing and easily countered. Then she just started censoring any of my critiques on her blog while allowing positive comments lol. Promotes confidence in its security and her comment section's accuracy...

Anyway, if OpenBSD copies anyone, I'd say copy the Nizza Security or Genode Architectures. They leverage the kind of good components (eg Nitpicker/NOVA) and tactics (eg resource management) I mentioned to QubesOS. I see Qubes since adopted a similar tactic in their graphics system. Has a few novelties but mostly a rehash of virtualization and CMW stuff good against common malware. Need stronger TCB and methods to stop nation-states. Other work at least goes in that direction although not there yet either.

Fantastic!I will definately have a look.
For me, the assessment of Dunning-Kruger is missing a key control group, people who don't claim any aptitude in the relevant skill. For a newbie, that's the class of people who they are most likely to compare themselves to, e.g. the typical small office's Excel guru knows a few `@` commands not pivot tables and linear regression and it's computer whiz has a general picture of directories as a tree structure and can use `cd` and `dir` and `*.bak` to find lost files.

To put it another way, the less skilled practitioner is comparing what they know today versus ignorance. An experienced practitioner has been around long enough to have experienced tough problems that highlight the limits of their knowledge. In other words, one group is likely to compare themselves to an unskilled cohort and the other to a highly skilled one.

Excluding people who rate their ability at zero and who perform consistent with that ability skews the graph.

> Do you seriously think there were controls in-place to prevent Ashley Madison developers from doing just-that?

No, but there should have been. Access to personal customer data should be strictly controlled, with access being granted only to those who need it for their work, and only for as long as they need it.

I would never expect them to do that, but they should do that.
Chrome sends every URL or key stroke in the URL bar home in the guise of checking if they are search terms, and nothing short of not using Chrome helps that.

In addition, installing Chrome created a situation where every few minutes something is connecting to Google's servers. I disabled updates, uninstalled Chrome, and removed everything Google, followed instructions for removing the updater - and something is still pinging Google every few minutes.

If there is a way to shut these off, then the author should detail this, as much as he has detailed how to fix Apple's phone-home behaviour.
Ashampoo Burning Studio 15 Crack and License Key Free
Very good point.

Single mothers are a growing group, they now represent 1 in 4 households. They are a very important group to win elections. For example, single mothers were the single largest voting bloc for Obama. A lot of campaign strategies are designed around winning the single mother votes, "the war on women" rhetoric for example. It's not surprising to see laws designed to coddle them and cater to them.

As this article points out, this is very shortsighted since for one single mother who gets "free child support" it's a whole family who has to suffer, but people are slow to make the connection.

"When the work's done right, there's no work to be done and we move on to something new."

The work is never done right. You talk about engineers and programmers right? Well they should know that their work never ends; there's always the need to continually improve the product so that you don't "fall behind", fix the rampant bugs that occur when you add in new features, fix the bugs that were caused by you fixing the previous bugs, realize that the customers actually wanted something different, need to refactor the code properly to match the latest design fad, have to rewrite the program in a brand new language...

And all this work has to be done. Because if you don't continually upgrade your product, then your product will quickly become old-fashioned and obsolete.

So, when we say "there's no work to be done", it's a blatant lie. Either it is an excuse we make up so that we can leave something that we obviously hate doing, or it's because our employers are unwilling or unable to pay for it to be done. Lying may make you happy, but it makes me less happy. I prefer misanthropy over delusion.
This article is basically a diluted version of Bob Black's The Abolition of Work[1].

I'm not sure how possible Black's vision is now because I think there's still scarcity, but it needs to be considered because it's a much better future than the one we're heading toward if we keep pretending that the capitalist work/ownership model is meritocratic. In the future, all jobs can be automated, and we're going to run into very deep issues long before even half are automated.

Well true; even the RMS Titanic, with its fifteen bulkheads, was no match against an iceberg. Let's just hope that this new hypervisor for OpenBSD is built with better-quality steel :)

Also, it's worth mentioning that EC2 instances are meant to be ephemeral; Amazon doesn't provide any semblance of a guarantee that your instances won't reboot, and assumes that you intend for all your "machines" to be arbitrarily rebootable. Not saying that any hypervisor implementation right now is particularly good; only that Amazon isn't exactly the best representation here.
Just sent you an email guys, because when your motto is "Translations that don't suck." with the Eiffel tour in background, having such an awful French translation on your homepage is really not the best way to sell it imho.

The email, just in case you'd miss it:

Hello,

I'm French and a French teacher and I would like to warn you that the first part of your translation is good, but the end is totally awful, I can't find any other word, sorry.

I mean, if you're willing to charge $1 per translated word, you really cannot put this kind of translation as an example on your homepage...

I'm talking about the end of the sentence: "let's do it again" translated as "il faut recommencer".

If you say "il faut recommencer", it means "we have to do this again because it was bad". In French when you "recommence", it's because you've failed to do something properly, the exact opposite of what you're trying to say here.

A better translation would be "quand est-ce qu'on remet ça ?" or any kind of French idiom to convey the right meaning.

That's it, have a good one,

What percentage of consumers do you think are capable of reading contract language accurately, assessing risk/value, judging things like how much bandwidth they use, doing what, and how that may increase or decrease?

Likewise, how many lawyers working for cell phone companies are capable of reading contract language accurately? How capable do you think cell phone companies are at projecting data utilization based on the huge trove of customer data they have available to them?

Requiring honesty around simple terms like "unlimited" helps level that playing field, at least in some small way.

To spoof J L parker, I was "once a developer". Have played many roles since (PM,strategy consultant, VP, p&l owner,...).

DevOp makes sense to me for building complex solutions..but, for different reasons than discussed here.

Consider this: a small team (usually 3-7 members) of "jack of all trades" is proven across industries where the team has to deliver a complex solutions under a very aggressive timeline ,requiring multiple skills.
Two examples from my personal experiences:
Strategy consulting - eg @ McKinsey (work includes interviewing executives, presentation, excel, data entry, hypotheses development and verification....)
investment banking eg @ Goldman Sachs (work includes industry analysis, financial analysis, scenarios, presentation, excel, data entry, ...)

"Jack of all trade" model in terms of DevOps works because:

1) goal for the team w/ "full-stack" skills is to have a reliably working software solution
2) communication and management overhead increase significantly as the team size grows
3) complex solutions need different "amount" of various skills at different point in solution cycle
4) adding/ removing team members comes w/ significant cost to alignment
Well, they are the largest router vendor in Germany, and almost every ISP here gives out their routers by default (that’s how I got my 7490).

They don’t really care much about growth or profits – as long as they don’t make losses, their current situation is "good enough", and that’s it.

I literally have no idea what that means.

I see nothing in particular wrong with the "Orange Pi" except, I would say you're slightly buying into an ecosystem with the Raspberry Pi, a lot of support articles, docs, even an operating system image.

The only thing that really irks me about the "Orange Pi" is the name. That's extremely borderline trademark infringement, they're clearly trying to leverage the Raspberry Pi's brand for their own profitability. That's not cool.
Thing is, the AWS philosophy of considering everything short of data sources "disposable" leads to a lot more robust engineering.

The general "design" of a piano hasn't changed too much in over 300 years. And from a company that is known for making some of the best pianos, selling the way the piano sounds isn't much use. I remember a while back someone made a clear piano. I thought it was dumb, but how else are they going to differentiate? They can't make them easier to play (without adding player piano components) or increase the resolution of the sound.

> This doesn't sound logical or sensible in any shape or form. How can there be a "automatic default judgement" if he wasn't even notified?

There usually can't be; a default judgement generally requires that a person be properly (usually, personally) served; in certain cases public notice (which servces as legal notice to the subject) can serve in lieu of service of process.

And, in any case, a default judgment can be set aside for a wide variety of reasons, including, among others, misrepresentation or fraud by the party applying for the default judgment.
