You mean the "All Tasks" folder: http://brandonlive.com/2010/01/04/the-so-called-god-mode/
Yes, and it isn't actually "God Mode" (there's no special privileges). It is just a master control panel folder. You name the folder with whatever you put preceding the dot.

So wait, modifying gold to fix (or even remove) the slow string section merging wasn't a possibility? It sounds a lot less work than writing a completely new linker.
OP here: I probably should have made it clearer that the using the same train-test splits is verboten.

Your second and third paragraphs are also exactly correct. I attempted to make those points in the post, but you've done so more effectively here.

The C++ template system is quite possibly the worst functional programming language ever 'designed', with the exception of esolangs. It would be so much saner if we could just run normal C++ code at compile time, with the ability to manipulate the main program's types as values. Then operations like this would simply be indexing a `std::vector<Type>`, there would be no need to add hacky special cases to the compiler and/or massively increase compilation time, and it would be possible to do somewhat more complex things without going insane (e.g. a compile-time perfect hash table generator, like gperf but without needing an external tool).

Rust has something like this in the form of procedural macros, but it can't manipulate types and values, only raw ASTs. Apparently Nim can do it.
Atlassian sets IPO price range, aims to raise $370m at a $3.6bn valuation
I'm using [1] against exch2013 without any major issues.

Make sure your exchange environment autodiscover is properly configured, and ensure you have IMAP available (for thunderbird mail) and the setup will go smoothly.
My take is that part of reason the article comes off as more than a rehash of someone else's thoughts is that the author uses their story to establish credible experience with the subject and for the reader to evaluate their own experience relative to the author's. That scale provides some readers insight into Sarkeesian's experience that would not have been possible with a simple binary representation.

Creating a better understanding the potential scale of the problem is, in my opinion, a key supporting element for the author's argument that developers should treat the potential for "evil" very seriously. It makes the list of strategies, not just another list of strategies on the internet. It anchors them viscerally.

YMMV.

I happened to be reading The Design of Everyday Things at the same time as Understanding Air France 447. It was surprising to see how the concepts explained in the book by Don Norman applied perfectly to explain the errors made by the pilots -- even though airplanes are not everyday things.
I am currently doing this course and love every minute of it. The course is more of a history course than architecture per se. You will get a grand ride through the centuries all the way from 3000 BCE to the present.
It’s a Trap: Emperor Palpatine’s Poison Pill
When development "stopped" a while back, I tried to switch to alternatives. Evolution is high quality, but doesn't fit the way I want to work...no matter how many notifications I turn off, it always seems to find a way to be annoying and invasive. There are no OSS webmail clients as good as Thunderbird or GMail (even though I work on Usermin, and it is a competent webmail client compared to other OSS options, we just don't have the resources to push it forward enough to match native or something as amazing as GMail or Inbox, especially since it is not our core business).

So, I will keep using Thunderbird, and hope that it keeps seeing occasional updates. I assume it will...it's got millions of users. Surely some of them are developers, with itches to scratch.
A little of both :-)

I was one of the biggest champions of opening our SW and worked hard to create open APIs to give access the device database and timing engine, even where there was no real business justification. The limitation was always what we could make usable without shipping an Altera engineer with the SW. A fair amount is available but unfortunately undocumented. If you look close enough, a some of the features in Quartus are written in plain Tcl, which you can reverse engineer.
AFAIK chromecast and other HDMI dongles have secondary USB port to get power.
I keep wondering if Apple wants to kill OSX and take everything toward iOS, totally jailed everything, and the cloud.

I know if they did they'd lose me as a customer for anything other that (maybe) phones, but maybe they don't care about that market.

The only way they wouldn't would be if they grew up iOS into something you can do real work with -- allowed end user app installation, emulators and VMs, containers with full Darwin installs that could run homebrew, etc.

It could be done, even without sacrificing ordinary user experience -- just hide the advanced stuff from regular users and require a little magic incantation to unlock it. But it would run counter to the padded room you-don't-own-your-device philosophy of mobile so I can't see the iOS team going that way without being pushed from above.

Of course they have been updating OS X fairly well, so maybe not. Maybe the poor App Store experience is just like the poor Podcast app and other things -- an internal problem with motivation, direction, and focus in certain areas. Organizations can easily forget about things that are important but not 'hot'.
Yeah it's not even a hotlink. It's just a link.
All of the things you say are true, and I also agree on the "self-inflicted" delays a sibling poster mentions.

All of these mattered very little to me when I went to reinstall a game I hadn't played in two years, after a move and a computer crash. I have games on physical media that I can no longer install, or that I can't find the discs for. Fantastic games like Bioware RPGs, or Borderlands.

With Steam, I can open a fresh machine, install the Steam app, and then install (mac versions of) games I bought in pc-version, or for which I no longer can find the media.

Between Steam's library sharing, access to cross-platform versions of games, and the fact that I can install it from scratch anywhere I have an internet connection, I don't want to buy games any other way. There are many ways to improve, but that ease of recovery and reinstallation (not to mention that it saves my save-games in the cloud for some RPGs) has been well worth any performance hits.

The "whole app" is tiny, and I need to update it maybe once a month. It's not worth complaining about.
I use a VPN service so that my IP address appears to be the same as many other people's IP addresses to advertisers and trackers (another layer on top of using browser plugins). I'm not trying to hide from the government or do anything illegal; I just don't want companies that I've never heard of knowing more about me than my own family.

It seems to me like this would be an applicable usage of a shared VPN service. Of course I am trusting that the VPN service isn't selling my traffic to some other tracking company. I am I wrong in using a VPN for this function, is there a better way?
Used to be one of the few bipartisan committees in Congress. Not any more.
Pretty sure that "universal interoperability of a still-useful interface with a 100+ year legacy" was the sacred cow, balanced against the "usefulness" of paper-thin, flimsy, low-mAh-speculated phones. Not its size.
Warning: speculation follows.

If we understand correctly, the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. I recall reading once that there is enough mass (matter plus dark matter) that the Swarzchild Radius of that much mass is approximately 13.7 billion light-years.

What if we're inside a black hole? How would that affect how we interpret what we see at large distances? (For example, does that explain the Hubble redshift? Does it explain dark energy?)

And, if it's true, then what is a black hole? Can you have a black hole inside the Swarzchild radius of another black hole?
Irrespective of whether you agree with the article, the tone is very condescending.
Coming from a university president, it shows OWU in very poor light imho.

The last office that writer mentions is the actual office of Mark, he is the only one with an office.

Facebook offices have very interesting stuff, the roof garden has an amazing view of the bay, trees from different parts of California and wonderful artwork from local artists that you can see all around the office.

I saw before this type of setup in Tesla, were the only way to know which is Elon's desk, is by someone telling you. But also not long time ago he used to sit in the plant floor where the only items in his desk where the best car of the year award and his wallet.

This type of setup in my opinion foster productivity, people realize that the only thing that they have to be doing is work. And the founder lead by example.

Great article. Designing a/b systems always seems (relatively) simple at the start, but in my experience there are 1,000 things you don't think of until you have massive amounts of worthless results. Add this to the list of things to watch out for.

- I use Focus, and it's awesome

- I prefer to buy outside of the MAS, and always check to see if the developer sells directly before buying there

How does it compare to, say, Gmail enterprise? Well, apart from the whole Google Apps.

I'm curious because we'll have to migrate to a better email provider in a month or two, and Gmail enterprise seemed to be the best fit for us (price, storage, good iOS app to leverage push notifications, etc).
Why do they call it the Death Tax?

...because the estate tax has the effect of being a tax on dying.

Why do they call the lobbying for prevention of medical treatment for women, Pro-life?

Because we think elective abortions (almost all abortions are elective) are not medical treatment, but rather a barbaric practice in which one person is killed for the convenience of the other, and in most cases is harmful in the long-term to the survivor as well. I feel strongly about this, but I'm not upset by people who want to call me "anti-abortion", because I am.

Why can't they call the opposition party by their actual name?

Uh....what? Do you mean "the Democratic Party" as opposed to the "Democrat Party"? I think that one is better chalked up to colloquial speech, regardless of what the Wikipedia article says.

But like I said - being a lifelong Republican and conservative activist, I know exactly zero people who would be upset if you didn't say "death tax", "pro-life", or "Democrat Party" (or PPACA instead of ObamaCare).
Yes, I'm sure. I'll explain a bit more how Skylon is different from staged rockets:

1) Skylon has air breathing engines. Air at sea level is about one thousandth the density of normal rocket propellants and thus the machinery for compressing that air (inlets, spinning compressors, in Skylon's case heat exchangers) is large. Air breathing engines need to be much larger than pure rocket engines of equivalent thrust, and thus heavy.

2) Since it's the first stage engines, they are large because of that. SpaceX for example has nine engines in the first stage while only one engine in the second stage. If we assume 500 kg per engine, 8 engines saves 4 tons. Since their payload is about 10 tons, they would only have about 6 tons of payload if they flew with all engines to orbit. (Not a very precise calculation I admit.) Why would they do that? And that's with rocket engines that have 150:1 thrust to weight ratio. Modern operational air breathing engines have about 10:1 thrust to weight, one fifteenth of Merlin 1D.

3) Carrying oxygen isn't as big a problem as it seems to be. It's denser than water so the tanks are actually small. And rockets already have tremendous thrust to weight as we have demonstrated.
Common Pitfalls in Experimentation
But what makes you think a random VPN service provider doesn't sell you out, if not now, then in the future, for advertisers? Or hackers?

As you said, you don't want companies to know about you, but you give your whole life to them. Unless you trust them, but why would you?
The funny thing is that if you see someone's Web browser and it's as full of toolbars as the typical IDE, you assume that person isn't very good with computers.
These download numbers are depressing, and I, like most developers who have tvOS apps, blame discoverability. What that means is that there are just too few ways for users to find or be shown tvOS apps

Seriously? "Hey I threw together a couple of apps in a few days and they're not being downloaded. Obviously not enough folks are discovering them".

Apps for these types of platforms are hard. But most folks want to watch video (or play games) on their TV. They don't want to roll dice, or view Gif slideshows.

So do I. offlineimap for syncing mails with my IMAP server at fastmail and mu4e for reading mails. Search is superfast, but I miss a better handling of spam mails. Thunderbird is really good at sorting out spam once you've trained the spam filter.
Agreed. Ran postfix + cyrus + DSPAM for years and dreaded dealing with spam every day--couldn't get DSPAM to really work reliably, so had to fish out ham daily, and mark a lot of spam. Never really invested the time to learn the ins and outs of postfix hardening, nor to figure out cyrus quirks that kept bugging us on a low-level basis.

With Fastmail for the past more than year, and very happy with them. I'm also very happy they're clearly at the forefront of OSS mail system development.

(Don't use CarDAV or CalDAV, so don't benefit from their efforts there.)

(Though oddly enough, just today I started getting a bunch more spam. Maybe there's a Christmas rush of spam, so the .01% that gets through is more noticeable?)

In general, I haven't had to go fishing for ham more than once or twice in the past year, which is pretty amazing.

Qualcomm | San Diego, CA | Full Time | ONSITE | VISA

Qualcomm's Chip Architecture team is looking for developers to build profiling tools that our engineers use to gain critical insights into the performance of mobile chips that power billions of devices worldwide.

We use tools to profile hardware and software jointly: software at the application, framework and kernel layers, and hardware across the chipset, including the CPU, GPU, wireless modems and system interconnects. We have openings for both low-level kernel tools and higher level data processing and analysis tools.

For kernel-level development you should have a strong C background, and experience working with the Linux kernel. Experience with low level profiling tools on any platform (such as ftrace or dtrace) would be good to have.

For data processing and analysis tooling, you should have experience developing data processing and analysis tools in Python or other languages. We'd prefer a full-stack developer who can handle the entire pipeline from data processing through database management to visualization tools. We have a modern development stack, using Python 3, a CouchDB backend, and visualization and analysis using the IPython notebook and d3.js.

For more information and to apply: https://jobs.qualcomm.com/public/jobDetails.xhtml?requisitio...

We are also looking for a more experienced developer who can be a team lead across all of the profiling tools. If you fit that role, you can get more information and apply at: https://jobs.qualcomm.com/public/jobDetails.xhtml?requisitio...
I don't think it's nearly that black-and-white. The doctor performed a procedure he would have wanted performed on himself in the same (exceedingly desperate) circumstances. He was careful to fully inform the patients of the risks. Above all, he had his patients' welfare at heart; he wasn't doing it for money or fame or even knowledge. What he did may have been illegal, but I don't agree that it was clearly immoral.

gold is GPL v3. Even if that route was less work, it wouldn't be compatible with the LLVM project's goal to produce a permissive-licensed suite of tools (UIUC, broadly similar to BSD).

This matters to important LLVM backers like Apple, who employ a lot of the core devs.
Great! The complicated TensorFlow API needed this. Fantastic Work BTW:)
