I've been benefiting from additional screen space for various years. There's no specification to do this within the window manager. Even if there is, you need to think of Wayland as well.

Ideally it would be nice to enhance all window managers and somehow make this possible in a different way. You'd still have practical problems in that the theme of the window manager won't align with your toolkit though.

But I prefer actual progress instead of the theoretical ideal solution that's way more work and involves co-operation with everyone.

First, there is no "kernel exploits from vulnerable games" as games are applications that run in the OS (FreeBSD based). What happened with the PSP is that game exploits can be used to run code that trigger kernel exploits (which have to be found separately and are a lot harder to find). In terms of game exploits on the PS4; there is no doubt that such vulnerabilities exist, but you're limited to ROP (no JIT in games) in userland.

I'm going to challenge that definition. There are absolutely biological difference between men and women. When I offer to help a young woman carry her suitcase up stairs, am I being sexist because I assume she would appreciate the help?

The definition of sexism needs to have room for some reality or the definition is useless or even harmful.

Huge Salmon were once much more common up and down the west coast. However, they were easy to harvest (as they congregate in the river during their spawn and can be caught with nets or weirs) and so many stocks were decimated. In other rivers, hydroelectric dams destroyed the ability for the salmon to reproduce.

The Elwha river in Washington State once had salmon topping 100 lbs! http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/will-giant-chinook-...

Many of the salmon now spawning in west coast rivers were bred in hatcheries - with significantly different genetics than those wild monsters of yore.

I know what GTK stands for :) I'm just saying it fails at that use case. It's actually fine for Gnome, I don't mind Gnome 3 at all, took some getting used to but it's working fine for me and I like the way it looks with some themes and extensions (Arc theme is great IMO and dock extension + alt-tab no group is all I need). Where GTK+ fails is providing GUI components that can be compact and information dense, all of it's widgets and layouts are designed arround white space heavy low density content/GUI - that just doesn't work for complex apps - GIMP/Inkscape being prime examples of bad GUI it creates.
Ever used a tiling window manager? Client-side decorations are quite annoying to deal with, since otherwise I don't have title bars.

Also the Gtk developers are (probably) not evil, they just happen to also be the Gnome devs and have made some choices that are a little questionable to the rest of us.

Not only that, the guidance you get (first root email, man afterboot, etc) enforces you to use a limited user instead of root and to learn about sudo.

Show HN: Reading the 'typed.js' way.Suggestions,ideas?
Ahh. I stand corrected. Looking at your later post (which for some reason I can't respond to directly): so the derivatives are just what amplified the MBS crash with leverage -- allowed organizations to put more money into toxic MBS assets than they would normally be able to with cash? All the splitting and recombining of MBS does that not act as a vehicle for laundering or coverup? I mean it wasn't technically laundering because it was completely legal to offer mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. But didn't the MBS allow banks to resell those poor assets which normally wouldn't have been sought after as investments? And the investments were leveraged through derivatives so that crashing of the poor quality assets were amplified? So it seems that there was a complex interaction of unregulated financial vehicles that caused the crisis and not simply "bad mortgages" or simply "derivatives" or simply "MBS". Any one of those alone would not have caused a huge bubble and crash, right? I do not have a background in finance, but I think it is important for a layperson to understand what happened.

I'm very involved with (lately less so, been busy) and IMO you're pretty accurate.

Some more details: Replacements for autotools often only handle the simple case. Widely known that autotools is difficult, however, the replacements cannot do what the GTK autotools is used for at this moment.

For the compiler: I think the Microsoft compiler is holding us back? Further there are two important parts: glib is used almost everywhere, so you have to be very strict in what you accept. GTK+ should be more easy going. They did add that support for (IIRC) automatically freeing variables.

Tied to Red Hat is very unfortunate. However good willed, it is better if there is a group of similar sized companies. I'd wish there were more (free software) companies the size of Red Hat.
Speaking of progress, flip back through history and examine the movements, individuals and groups who have shaped our comfortable life and society.

If the authority at the time had the ability to completely invade their privacy, would they have been as effective? The truth is that the most important progress in society almost always begins outside the status quo and without privacy that status quo becomes much more difficult to disrupt.

Roughly 3/4 of Americans have access to the internet[1] (and more than half of them are over 65) as of two years ago, which blows the "limited number of platforms" argument away quite handily. The number of individual outlets you can get your news from is functionally unlimited.

The mass media has a responsibility all right, but not the one you think they do.

I think it depends on the... good-will (?) of the crowd. Like if both sides are willing to engage in reasoned debates, I don't see anything wrong with dissent.

But if one side is trolling or won't engage in good faith, then I would say that those types of people shouldn't be able to stick around. That's poisonous. And their continued existence lends credence to unfounded ideas.

I don't think this issue of sexism is so cut-and-dry. A lot of it is informed and shaped by people's personal experiences and we'll never have view of everyone's experiences with 100% clarity.

There will always be this natural tension when mixing "well, I'm skeptical of your claim" with "well, you should trust what I'm saying" from a disenfranchised party.
If they receive it negatively, perhaps they should have put more thought into licensing - or commercialised it themselves.

Interesting hypothesis. Whenever an article like this comes around, I'm reminded how little we really know about sleep. How did it start? Why is it necessary at all? Hopefully studying the sleep of other animals will reveal some of it's mysteries. For now, though, asking "Why do we sleep?" seems like asking "Why is water wet?".

It's especially tricky because the pro-affirmative-action perspective relies on affirmative action actually working. To the extent that it works, the original case for the special treatment weakens. To the extent that it doesn't work, then affirmative action is some sort of token sacrifice, not a way to actually help people. There's an inherent tension in there that most affirmative action proponents aren't really comfortable with.
According to this, there are 1 billion ounces (35,000 tonnes) of silver and 186,000 tonnes of gold. But... I thought gold was rarer than silver.

Edit: I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that silver (unlike gold) is consumed in manufacturing processes such as photography.

There is no Go2. Go2 is not a "thing", it's the absence of another thing. It's very Zen. Go2 is everything that Go1 cannot be.

Those certificates are issued by third parties who must secure, transport, and hide the physical gold.

Those third parties spend quite a bit to store the gold in secure facilities guarded around the clock, transport the gold from/to those facilities in armored vehicles, and keep the gold hidden from view, e.g., in underground vaults.

Guess who ends up paying fees to cover all those costs?

Some contradiction here:

Code doesn't decay on its own, of course. Left completely untouched, it will survive as long as you care to archive it. Decay — often called code rot or software rot — only sets in when changes are made, either to the code itself or to any of its dependencies. So as a rule of thumb, we can say that most code is decaying during most of its existence. It's like entropy. You never 'win' against entropy; you just try to last as long as you can.

In a healthy piece of code, entropic decay is typically staved off by dozens of tiny interventions — bug fixes, test fixes, small refactors, migrating off a deprecated API, that sort of thing. These are the standard maintenance operations that all developers undertake on behalf of code that they care about. It's when the interventions stop happening, or don't happen often enough, that code rot sets in.

In the first paragraph, the author says that code doesn't decay if it's left alone but does decay when it is changed. In the second paragraph, the author says the exact opposite.

A warning about the hazards of reasoning-by-analogy: you've got to be really clear in your head about how the analogy maps to the subject.

I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention. I have used this metaphor of code as a living entity before and it resonates with those that have lived through such growth. The article beautifully articulates this idea. I think this idea extends to ideas or memes in the

Yup. More precise, it has the same specificity as the selector it is negating in its "parameter" (which must be a "simple" one, not compound). My favourite CSS bruteforce hack [1] for boosting specificity exploits this:

In India, I hated interaction with the police because they'd try to shake me down for all sorts of reasons, multiple times a month. In America, I have only ever interacted with a policeman thrice in three years, and on every occasion he or she asked me if I needed help.

One time I set off the fire alarm and they sent emergency services over. They came, investigated the situation, saw that I was just a terrible cook, gave me some advice and left.

If India had the same notifying fire alarms, everyone would have them disabled because the probability of having to pay a bribe would be exactly 1.
Everyone seems to go 10-20kmh over depending on the road, at least in southern Ontario. On the 407 it's closer to 30 over and if I stayed at 100 it'd be rather uncomfortable (and after being away for a while, I woulda sworn it was 120). At 50 they can roadside impound and suspend license.

It's odd, isn't it? Twenty years of experience is considered good, but twenty extra years of age is considered bad. This actually goes a long way to explaining why interviews are such an odd experience - companies recruit for experience (must have launched successfully with experience scaling), and then testing for exam-ready knowledge of second year algorithms and data structures. I suppose another way to put it is that employers would like people with 20 years of experience who graduated from college last week.
Debt can be considered money, but not all kinds of derivatives, especially swaps. Debt usually has some kind of collateral: physical, business cash flow etc. Insurance will have direct interest, an actuarial basis and reserves. Swaps may have neither of these. A metaphor is a blackjack table. The players place real money bets. The house/dealer pays on known statistics. Swaps are like bystanders betting on the players and hands they see and expecting the house to pay off.
