It is not the anti-monopolistic authorities (who are part of the system, anyway), but WE_THE_PEOPLE who need to do something, so that competition is assured. WE need to keep switching services and not let one service rule everything.

Be it messengers, social networking apps, eCommerce stores, ERP software, anything - If we choose one organization to rule them all, it won't be very long before they start showing the traits of that one Saruman's ring that rules them all.
Interesting perspective! It's true that it should be very easy and cheap - something like setting up an E-mail account or installing an app.
This is the part I wish could be solved. I hate having to input billing into various websites and apps and not being able to track licenses unless I do myself.
When FB bought WhatsApp, they estimated that the user base only had a useful life of seven years.

That was one or two years ago now and I'm not sure if the estimate has been updated, but it would seem FB is running out of time to convert the user base.
Didn't know it was there. Thanks for the tip!
I've always seen all app stores as a blatant money grab. A digital storefront like that does not require that much money to run (no comparison with supermarkets and the like which have heavy operational costs). I mean the search barely works, discoverability sucks. One of the primary drivers for app revenue is handpicked winners and losers via their own app lists, and some of the stores are so amateurish that you have to re-download the entire app to update it. Of the ones that we have, Steam is probably the least grubby.

I would much rather they charge a flat review/update/host fee per app with maybe tiered hosting pricing for multi-GB apps (which apart from steam games, I'm pretty sure few people download anyway). It's hard enough trying to run a successful software business and then these companies go out and beat their chest with "WE paid developers billions this year" rather than "we took away 30% revenue from developers".
I created a little tool that helps you made lists of things with defined properties. For example, I can use it to make a list of houses I am thinking to buy, and also a list of my favorite movies. By being able to define the properties of the list item, you can make any kind of list. Check it out: https://listmakr.com
Great point. The "updates" tab is a complete mindfk, you can't filter by OS version (which the app presumably knows, yet chooses to ignore) so you can spend lots of time investigating an app, only to find out at the last moment that you can't actually run it, and - a personal bugbear of mine - none of the text is proper selectable text, so it can't be copied.

And tell me I'm not the only person in the world who has to manage several Apple IDs ...

It’s not really JavaScript, I’d argue it’s a different reason.

node-webkit apps are cheaper to develop. Far cheaper.

Everyone can write a webapp, a native application requires professional developers. The payroll looks completely different.

And then the devs who have only worked with node-webkit don’t know how much better they could have it. I know devs who refuse to use map, reduce and filter, because "it’s black magic and we always used for".
As with all design decisions, it's a trade off. The main benefit of web apps is found in their cross-platform nature. If this is desirable then you may choose to sacrifice a little performance to get that.

To give an analogy, it's like programming languages. It's possible to write very fast code with assembly languages, yet their portability to other architectures is practically non-existent. Part of the reason higher level languages like C/C++ are used is because they are much more portable.
The possible values for justify-content are only displayed on Levels 1 and 2. By Level 3 you're supposed to have all 5 values memorized even though you've only used 2 of them? I had to keep flipping back to Level 2 just to get a list of the possible values. For a game built for someone who has never used flex before, I think you're assuming too much familiarity with it.
Better title: VPN services only provide weak privacy, and can see your traffic as much as any other ISP.

They are good for escaping an ISP that messes with your traffic and injects things or a country with soft Internet censorship (where soft means they won't arrest you, they just block stuff arbitrarily). They're not anywhere near what Tor or a similar system will give you -- but that comes at a cost of speed and complexity.

I also agree that the best VPN is one you set up yourself on a VPS that you control. Not everyone knows how to (or wants to) do that, but if you can it's great. One of the cheap tiny VPS offerings from Digital Ocean or Vultr.com is great as a personal VPN endpoint and can also double as a personal web server, backup repo, etc.

No, it's not irrelevant. Standards are also about documentation (it's easier to document standardized things) and familiarity (people are more familiar with standardized things).

Yes, these benchmarks use forced GC calls (i.e. all phases are STW) because it's the only (good) way I can think of to make theses tests deterministic (maybe you know of a better way? I'd definitely be interested).

Of course, I don't have such calls on production systems; and while concurrent collections greatly reduce the time spent in STW phases, latency spikes are still a very real issue, as I explained here [1].
The monitoring on my production systems leaves absolutly no doubt that those latency spikes are due to garbage collections: once the GC was out of the picture, every thing was flat and fast again.

Aye, and the rest of the LLVM toolchain is supporting a huge number of architectures, some of which, like GPUs, that the GNU toolset doesn't support. Like any project, LLD is supporting the most popular architecture first, with roadmapped items for further architectures once that is finished. Keep in mind that binutils didn't support all the architectures it did with v1, it took porting work as well.

Furthermore, I'd disagree that the GNU binutils are the only toolset that are keeping us from proprietary hell. The LLVM development model, with fairly frequent releases and updates gives a huge push for toolchain users to contribute their patches. Sony, for example, had been grumpily looking at all the new features in LLVM being added as they were developing the toolchain for the PS4 because they couldn't add their contributions into the LLVM toolchain, and couldn't import the LLVM updates to avoid DNF syndrome.

I'd even go as far as to say that LLVM is our best hope of keeping the GNU project honest. A competing, Free, toolchain means that the GNU project cannot feign ignorance of the new features that llvm is bringing to the development table. The abilities that llvm offer are slowly trickling into gcc, even if certain parties are fearful of what effects those changes might bring. The right mix of cooperation and competition can and does bring wonderful things.

How exactly do developers "push to make it a better place?" It's owned by Apple, nobody else has a voice, and Apple must be 100% clear on the perceived shortcomings seen by developers. It's not like there's a quarterly App Store Community Meeting where people can go and complain ...

What I find interesting is that such posts, which epitomize Poe's law, despite seeming ambiguous (since you don't know if OP really believes/means "X" or "not X") can still be correctly interpreted as garbage posting by readers. You don't need to figure out if they are sarcastic or not.
Codeanywhere looks nice! I have been using nitrous.io for a long while, very similar to your product. Having an IDE in the cloud offers a lot of conveniences: large builds without heating up your laptop, easy to try different server setups, makes my chromebook and iPad more useful, etc. Of all the cool tech at Google, one of my favorite things was their web based IDE with very nice integration with Perforce, build systems, etc.

I don't understand the "must be on the Internet" complaint. As someone else said, other online resources are large parts of developer workflows - it has been a long time since I have coded without an Internet connection (perhaps a few times a year on an airplane, but I am happy enough writing (I am also an author) or reading on planes).

I agree but redoing a wipe isn't extra caution, its just literally repeating the same thing. If that thing is wrong, you're not helping the situation, just wasting time/resources.

Extra caution would be shredding the drive or some other non-wipe method. At work for example, we zero out drives and then those drives get physically destroyed by a vendor.

This includes breaking updates to the Steam client itself - which stopped working on 10.6.8 in November. I can roll back to an earlier version, but it immediately auto-updates to the latest version.

So now I can't update any of the games I've bought through Steam, or reinstall any I've removed.

Obviously I can't buy any new ones, either - but, even if I eventually update OS X (breaking many older Apps I depend on for work) and am able to run the Steam client again, there's no way in hell I'll ever buy a game through Steam again.
Automatic updates is great. The lack of ability to easily rollback is not. GOG's Galaxy has rollback built in. I feel like Steam will add it eventually.
It actually works like this in theory. You can get a couple of expedited reviews for critical or urgent fixes [0], but Apples definition of 'critical' and 'urgent' don't typically include having just shipped a crash bug that will effect your entire user base unless you are Rovio are a similarly large actor.

The creators (contributors, really) of CSS very much did figure this problem out.

Their solution was creating a new paradigm. You need to regard it as different from display:block and display:inline in the same way that those are fundamentally different than display:table.

CSS is capable of supporting all sorts of display models… just wait until display:grid rolls around.

Re-read this and perhaps identified a mis-understanding. Above you mentioned that "directed dependency labeling works better with vectors learned from PoS-tagged words than with PoS-tagged vectors (learned from untagged words)".

The method does not pos-label vectors or words in the model. Instead, it pos-labels the text that sense2vec is trained on. In this way, you get multiple vectors for words with multiple-POS usages (as if they were different words altogether). The change to the syntactic parser was just based on using POS to select which word embedding (of the several available for each word) to use as input. Sense2vec was trained on predicted POS labels. The parser used gold standard POS tags in both normal word2vec and sense2vec for even comparison.

Join our Ingest team to work on innovative large-scale data ingest projects like Apache Sqoop or Apache Flume. There is no "big data" if users can't get the data into the cluster efficiently. The ingest systems not only need to integrate with a wide range of existing data sources, but also transform and process the torrent of incoming data in real time. They often form the first part of a data pipeline, and have unique scalability and robustness requirements.

In this role, you will work on ingest projects --- build new features, expand the use cases, push the limits on performance and scalability, improve usability, and evangelize the project.

A smart, capable community manager like Josh Olin should have no problem finding work with another game studio--one that would be OK with his public defense of the bigoted views of that basketball team owner.

There's a stark difference between what people who dislike the concept of "safe space" think a "safe space" is and what a "safe space" actually is.

A "safe space" is a place where you know you aren't going to be singled out and harmed (verbally or physically) by someone telling you that you're a queer faggot and deserve to die.

A "safe space" is a place where people can discuss the actual issues of hatred, bigotry and violence without fear of reprise for being the hated, the attacked, the marginalized.

There's a stark difference between "This isn't a place for saying hurtful things; this is a place for talking about why saying those things are hurtful. That's why we're not letting you in here while you continue to marginalize the oppressed. Let's talk about why you think the oppressed should be marginalized instead."

All the anti-safe-space discussion on Hacker News lately is truly, horribly, fucking disgustingly indicative of the inherent sexism and flat-out hatred that worms its way through developer culture.

They are absofuckinglutely not cudgels of fear. And people who claim they are need to take a real fucking hard look at themselves and their views on those who are verbally bullied, physically attacked, raped, and murdered for being who they fucking are.
I think it could be argued that some global warming could be a net benefit for Canada. As long as it stays below the level that would cause global catastrophe. Sea level rise will cause some issues, but Canada really has very few large cities on the coast and there are (expensive) ways of dealing with that, just like all other coastal cities will need to do in the coming century. But on the other side of the equation it would extend growing seasons and increase the amount of arable and forested land in the vast interior of the country. Changes in rainfall will be a mixed bag, bringing adjustment, but likely not ruin. Maybe this is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but as a Canadian I've always selfishly looked at global warming and said "bring it on". Of course global warming could reach a point where it causes serious catastrophe on a global scale, e.g. releasing methane deposits on the sea floor and going into a feedback loop. That's a losing scenario for the entire planet, and there's no guarantees yet that we will avoid that fate.
I agree. I've got a handful people using it for the small offices, a lot of the everyday items they were keeping track of using spreadsheets tied to some desk number.

Saying "War on Christmas is alive and well in Christianity" is like saying "Daesh is alive and well in Islam". It is smearing a much larger group for the misbehavior of a small segment of demagogue extremists.
Oh, I totally agree, and I did! But there is a pretty large level of hypocrisy in stating that they don't want to allow "safe-spaces", while creating their own "safe-spaces" under a different name.
