There is a lot of peripherals lying around. Even years ago when I didn't have two pennies to rub together I could still get unwanted keyboards/mice and even smaller unwanted screens.

On the flip side, I don't need a screen for all my computers. Some are network devices now (SSH only) and some share the same screen because I use them for different things at different times.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, it's a single account. Google charges $5 per user.

The risk of users using the service and cancelling was our initial worry. However, when a plan is cancelled, that includes the private domain, responsive website and secure hosting.

The user would need to find a way to reproduce the site, wait for the domain to be released and/or transferred, purchase hosting, then upload the site. We feel, if the user can handle doing that themselves, then they aren't our target audience anyway, right? And if they pay a freelancer to do it, odds are they will charge a large amount that will make the user have second thoughts. (We're hoping!)
My first thought in response to your comment was "Well, most jerks are men". But I was reading about Berkson's Paradox [1] earlier and I think it might apply here. There's probably an even distribution of bad behavior between both men and women, but the selection bias in programming and technology limits the sample so that it skews towards males who behave badly.

This doesn't add much to your comment, other than offering a potential explanation as to why women in technology can have a hard time. Unfortunately I don't see a solution to the problem either.

As a frequent business traveler, I've long thought that slow boarding could be fixed by two things:
1) Standardized luggage
2) Not letting passengers handle their own bags

If you watch while boarding to see what slows the process down, it almost always seems to be related to people trying to cram oversized bags in the overhead bin, or being unable to effectively manage their own bags in the aisles. If you remove that from the equation entirely, the passenger responsibility becomes solely to get into their seat quickly.

More Power8 systems than aarch64? I'm sure there's a surprising amount of IBM servers out there, but I doubt they outsell the iPhone 5S / 6 / 6S.
Static languages haven't "won".

There's just not much point in creating a new dynamic language.

Ruby is flexible enough to turn into a DSL for whatever. Python does it's job very well. Lua has it's niche. Javascript is everywhere now.

What can a new dynamic language do that isn't easier to accomplish with libraries?

So most of the language development has gone towards making static typing easier to use. Improving on C++ / Java is easy. There are interesting ways to go about it with no clear right answer.
Probably because it's not a myth that high protein diets are healthful. High protein diets typically result in better maintenance of lean mass (muscle) and better health markers if compared with one that replaces protein with carbs (http://examine.com/faq/how-does-protein-affect-weight-loss/)

Many studies have shown that replacing fat or carbs 1:1 (by calories) with protein leads to better body composition and (sometimes) slight weight reduction. (http://authoritynutrition.com/how-protein-can-help-you-lose-...)

That's not to say that everyone should be eating bodybuilder levels of protein, but the evidence seems to support that focusing on it ahead of fat/carbs is probably a wise move.
My first foray into "real" PC programming was done in via Kahn/Borland's fairly awesome Turbo Pascal compiler back in the the early 80's for IBM's DOS OS.

Pascal introduced me to pointers, free-form editing (I came from interpreted BASIC where line numbers and such forced format) and good CS techniques. I built a true circular linked-list as one of my first projects.

I can remember at the time being awed at how fast the compiled executables ran on the PC, and quickly started writing Blackjack and Poker simulations using the language.

It's good to see efforts in releasing this...Pascal has been of course outshined by Python, Go etc etc but it's always fun to trip down memory lane.
Kinda. What this people are talking about are actually extending the DOM with actual nodes that are programmatically defined. You could never do this kind of stuff to the DOM with XML+XSLT
> Driverless taxis will not always be available on demand, especially in suburban and rural areas, so a legitimate fear of being stranded will make people in those areas prefer the security of having a car just for them.

Young people will b able to afford using driverless taxis a long time before they can afford to own their own vehicle. I think this will get people so used to the idea that when they do have the capital to be able to afford one, they will wonder why they should bother. This is already happening with Uber, so it's not theoretical, and driverless Uber journeys will be a _lot_ cheaper than now. Other criticisms, such as that taxis wear out faster are true, but apply equally to services such as Uber already. Take away the cost of the driver, and you've got a game changer.

Clearly some people will still want to own vehicles. I think that will always be true, but but you don't have to replace every singe car on the road with a driverless taxi to revolutionize our overall use of road transport.

Further, read the paragraph and my quoted portion again. She says her father woke her up and she didn't see cops until she saw into the living room.

Therefore, there was no sheriff with him.
This is also what I read.

What I found most disturbing there is the pattern of a fragile and weak person being abused and returning all that abuse into others that are weaker than him.

It reminds me an Israeli writer (Amos Oz, if I remember correctly) saying that many times the mind of the opressed is an mirrored inverted version of the mind of opressor.
Sure. But have your read my comment? Your second paragraph is really comical as an answer. But thanks for listing all negative things that many don't want. Win7 has non of them or can be deactivated. Win7 is great.

The problem is Microsoft trust their metrics too much. Since Office XP and WinXP the collect usage statistics (which can be turned off in all of their software except Win10!). Of course most power users and companies turn them off, that's why we got Ribbon bars in Office and Windows, and weird UI designs - based on skewed statistics. Windows as a service is probably a tipping point for Microsoft, we will see how it goes. WinPhone7-10, XBoxOne and Win8x aren't very successful. A new CEO, a new head of PR & brands and a new head of user interface design would do wonders.

I think you're selling sous vide short. The Pantelligent can only control heat on the contact surface, the rest of the food is cooked through heat transfer through the rest of the food or through the air. Sous vide lets you cook a whole piece of meat to a consistent temperature with practically no gradient. The Pantelligent doesn't have that feature.

I currently work at an ad agency (we call ourselves a "boutique data-driven marketing company") in Milwaukee. My official title is Developer, but I do a lot of things: I manage servers, code applications (HTML/CSS/Javascript, but also C, R, and loads of shell scripting), research new concepts, automate existing workflows, and so much more.

Before I did this, I worked as a freelancer doing one-off website jobs for small businesses. Finding clients was easy, but I started dreading the same work everyday. I'm much happier doing what I do now, but in a while I want to start a non-profit with some co-worker friends.

I'd want that non-profit to be education-related. Education is a really important space to improve, but adding "technology" to an already-bloated space is useless. I feel too many organizations try to add tech for tech's sake, when it's already impossible to get a class into a computer lab and make effective use of that time. Educational software needs to be thought of differently. Another crap webapp that tests students is a detriment to every student that has to suffer through it. Educational software needs to allow students to explore nature and the world around them.
I am going out on a limb, I don't think the behavior in the article is "simply" misogyny like with the programmer you mention, i.e. attacking women in techy jobs, it's more like sexual harassment by guys who don't have a girlfriend but some technical skills (and no moral compass).

I believe it starts with 4Chan's "tits or GTFO" whenever a woman identifies as such. In the end, guys like this one try to extort as much nudes, porn or ultimately sex as they possibly can.

> Food in the US is heavily subsidized and overseen by the government for obvious reasons

To be fair, you might be fine with some regulations but very little subsidies.

E.g. corn in the US is heavily subsidized, but rarely used for human consumption; or historically, Iceland used to grow their own bananas until 1960 as fruit import was heavily taxed.
Go, Swift and Rust come to mind. Some alternative JVM languages aren't doing too badly either.

This sort of stuff is great for setting up some kind of automation. Places where you would want a small computer, without all the peripherals.

The use cases for such a device go as far as one's imagination.
It mentions "disabling chip and pin", meaning it will convert the sentinel character on the magnetic stripe which tells the terminal that it is a chip card. By disabling the sentinel character and using this on a chip enabled terminal, the financial institute (BASE24) SHOULD decline the transaction because the Track 2 data will be incorrect.

Edit: I meant on an EMV compliant terminal.

Edit: Also, that is considered fraud and your best not testing it, unless you like the prison environment.

I'd like to notice that Google recently invested significant effort in using power8, including building their own servers based on it.

I hope these guys have enough motivation and resources to keep the platform alive. They use a huge lot of open-source software so I suppose the support will not be locked out in-house.
Notably, this is far closer to what XBL does in Gecko, and what the abandoned XBL2 was meant to do in a standard fashion. Web Components is strongly influenced by XBL2.

Have you seen Aaron Sorkin's most recent TV show, The Newsroom? It's mostly left-leaning (by American standards, at least) so you may not like it (apologies if I've mis-judged your political stance..), but personally I thought it was a great - though often very flawed - show. Anyway, the reason I mention it is that one story theme is the idea that balanced journalism doesn't always mean 50% to each side. I can't find the quote I want from the show with a quick Google, but here's a very similar quote from Sorkin himself: 'I don’t believe the truth always lies in the middle. I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me.'

Regardless of whether it was said by Trump or Clinton, if someone says they "watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering [at the 9/11 attacks]" and then claimed they saw it on TV, and then facts showed that this was never shown on TV because as far as anyone can tell it didn't happen... I'd want to see an article about them lying. And that article would naturally make the side of whoever lied look worse. Nothing partisan about it.
It seems to me that the fault lies entirely with the state. If it is violently intruding people's homes on the basis of this sort of report - which ends up being false - then obviously it needs to change the nature of what evidence can be regarded as sufficient cause to do this.

After all, say-so alone isn't supposed to be sufficient evidence to conduct a search. From the 4th amendment:

Do not forget errors of fact (which are not logic errors).

A statement can be logically deductive, and contain no arithmetic errors; yet be based on propositions which do not have true interpretations in this universe.
Auto-incrementing using some kind of centralized store is synchronous, UUID generation is asynchronous.
CWDI – Stop the Madness
Kinda of figured, and for a lot of stuff, I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I still think it has value.

My biggest frustration with the alternate chip vendors is the total lack of a simple ITX / ATX motherboard with a chip, expandable memory (preferably ECC), and a standard set of ports. Even ARM is problematic at this.

I am mystified at how hard it is for a chip vendor to produce a motherboard.
It only supports RCA on-board, but adapters for VGA and HDMI are coming out a few months after launch. Unfortunately, due to licensing costs, they cost $15 (which is why they aren't on-board in the first place).
I don't think the problem are standardized test institutions; for example Collegeboard, who administer AP and SAT tests, allow wide range of calculators from five manufacturers. Sure, they might not be the only game in town, but afaik they are the most influential one.

I think the problem is far closer to the grassroots, down to individual teachers taking the easier well trodden road of TI monoculture for various reasons ranging from ignorance, busyness or fear.
Just because Broadcom won't sell them doesn't mean the factory won't make some more. This is China, they have a pretty liberal (and one could argue: more reasonable) approach to issues of intellectual property :).

Or at least it used to be so; sadly, in the last few years the US was pressuring Chinese government to crack down on it. Anyway, you can read more about this phenomenon here: [0].

Oh, and one more thing. It may not apply to RPi in terms of cloning it because it's still quite a niche product, but in general, they actually recycle electronics here. Like, seriously, when you throw away your smartphone, it'll likely end up in China for desoldering. So will your laptop. The amount of desoldered components and especially ICs available for sale is staggering. I have no data for this, but I'm pretty sure people here are making small-scale production runs out of recycled ICs. So Broadcom may not sell you their chip, but the lady on the first floor of SEG building in Shenzhen just might.

BTW., I love how they recycle components so much, and how it leads to interesting situations sometimes. For instance, I recently got my phone fixed - $15 and 15 minutes of waiting was all it took to get the front half of Galaxy S4 replaced with a brand new part (screen + touch surface + glass + box) and to get a new camera (electronics, lens and all). The equivalent repair at home would cost me around $240 and would take a few days. The secret of such cheap and fast repair? They took the broken parts from me. They'll regain 90% of value of that repair by simply replacing broken subcomponents in their own time, and then pushing the fixed modules back onto the market.

Sorry to say that, but WTF?

Having read this account, I can hardly believe such people (creatures? idiots? Lost for words right now.) exist. Even knowing, this is a one in a million/billion case, I really do not understand how someone could do things like this. I totally understand how a system can be exploited. I even can acknowledge on an intellectual level the "hack" of the system. But playing with lives destroying innocent (mostly girls in this case, but the gender/age do not matter if people are terrorized imho) people, is clearly something I will never be able to understand.

And then only serving what - some 16 month in juvenile. Sorry, but that should not be right as well. This is no punishment, this does not deter others, imho.

And this does also not help the guy in any way. Why can't he be made tu at least also undergo therapy:

>that they have the most popular browser, but they have a browser with enough users

Well yes, but they arrived at this by having a vision what a good browser is at a time when browsers were abysmal. They didn't arrive there by just wanting an open-source browser. Yes, there was a network effect at play too (everyone "optimized" for MSIE), but they were able to bootstrap their user base with the tech-savvy who were fed up with the horrible HTML/CSS/JS support browsers of the time offered.

They did not have that vision with FirefoxOS - they wanted to secure a foothold in the mobile market, but had no compelling idea on how to gain that in the face of Apple/Google. Similarly, disliking Zuck is a a really bad reason to pour energy into yet another open social network.
