I generally like it but I definitely don't like some of its apparent integrations.

For instance, I search for recipes a lot. And Yummly "wrappers" seem to come up a lot on DuckDuckGo, often barely acknowledged as being Yummly. I don't know what Yummly is but it just seems scummy...it seems to wrap pages that I know are clearly recipes on other web sites, yet they're made to appear like Yummly pages. Why? There's no reason for this kind of middle-man stuff.
As for GTK3, rendering performance, latency and memory usage in QT5 suffer significantly. QT4 is not light, but QT5 adds overhead for no reason.

I like the general polishing in the core modules, but I have really no use for qtquick. For this reason, I really encourage anyone to get onto copperspice (http://www.copperspice.com/). Without MOC, QT really feels an awesome API.
I keep getting weird issues when running it. https://s3.amazonaws.com/coda-files/870Xw.png
There is a very interesting book by E. Anscombe (Oxford philosopher) entitled "Intention" ehich addresses your question.

The answer is difficult.
It's a browser engine running trusted code (i.e., code that is currently running with full privileges on your account), so the attack surface is much lower than a browser engine visiting random web pages. Wireshark won't suddenly start playing a Flash animation or use WebGL or anything.

And it's not like GTK+ or Qt are immune from having security vulnerabilities. They're rarer than the general class of browser vulnerabilities, but they exist (e.g. Qt had a few image decoder vulnerabilities earlier this year). I'd guess they're about as frequent as the specific subset of browser vulnerabilities when viewing a trusted website.

If it's a helpful analogy, this is roughly like how Java is a terrible platform for running untrusted applets, but a perfectly fine platform for running software and a very common one for security-sensitive servers. (Except the browsers themselves are way better than the Java plugin.)
Why does a flower bloom? Why does a lion hunt? Why does the earth spin on its axis and why do nerds fight over which Javascript framework is best?

> But if you want to build a comparable architecture with IPv6, where a private Network is fully isolated from the public Internet except for a very controlled gateway, you would still need a Firewall/Router capable of handling all the traffic.

Nope, you wouldn't. You might still want to think abstractly in terms of a network boundary, but you absolutely do not necessarily need one point where it's all implemented. Depending on the architecture and your needs, you could also, for example, have an instance of the same packet filter on each machine.

I am not saying that there is no place for that kind of architecture, but the current state of affairs with IPv4 severely limits the options as to how to implement what you actually need. In a way, even the concept of "a private network" is a bad idea. Sure, you may want to limit access to some services for some clients and such--but really, the mere distinction of "inside" vs "outside" causes many problems in today's network operations. What if you interconnect you "internal network" with some other "internal network" because someone "external" to you needs to access some service that's "internal" to you? That becomes pretty hairy pretty fast, with NAT in particular--when it's actually pretty easy conceptually when you have a globally unique address space.
You must be joking by complaining about the need for security updates. Most apps need regular updates regardless of platform. Have you seen how often MS office or Adobe apps get security patches? Arguably the security of Chromium is better because of how widely it's used and tested.
I agree with this, this happened to me quite a few times

No, that is exactly and perfectly wrong. Downvoting because you disagree is against the rules.
As a student I wholeheartedly agree - I have classes now where a tutor comes in, tosses a two page pdf with an assigment in Labview (which we were never taught or even got to use before) to do during class and ITS GRADED right after that class. He also throws a hissing fit every time anyone dares to ask him for help.

Perhaps the more significant "accident" of history, occurring before IBM-PCs with much memory got out there in large numbers, was all the vendors of 68000 based systems who didn't follow the lead of Apollo Computer and instead got a relatively cheap UNIX(TM) licence.

As PCs got more capable and more and more people were willing to program them in C---I don't remember Borland being a big player in this, in fact, it was Microsoft that produced the first really solid C compiler---the same sorts of constraints that helped birth UNIX(TM) and C were in play, until it was by and large too late to change course.
Because people enjoy fun.

I'm always so surprised that OpenBSD seems to have a much smaller/tighter group of people working on the core[1]. Yet they seem to keep up and not only that, but also lead the way in some case (e.g. LibreSSL).

Its a sad state of this world where there is a price for everything but no value for anything.

I have had my share of teachers who proved that "those who cannot do, teach". I read that in Sweden, you have to be in the top 5 percentile if you want to qualify as a teacher. Plus a lot of teachers are so disconnected from the professional world that the student are confused when I come to work which I have experienced myself and seem over again as an "intern-trainer" at my work as a Software Developer.

Education has been so commercialized that some universities look more like a mall than a university. Cannot blame the students for expecting a degree after all the money they have paid. In a lot of collages, the entrance exam is just a scam.

This state is specially true in India where we are taught to respect in the order of "Mother, Father, Teacher, God". Even God deserves less respect than teacher. But there also, if you cannot find any job. Then the next option is teaching.
That's what I'm counting on. Most startups are sufficiently desperate for hiring that you can ask for things like "I'd like to grab coffee with the CTO" and they will do it (that seems trivial at a 10 person company, but I've heard it happen at 100+ person teams).

Where I am right now, I'm pretty happy just turning down the interview if I don't oblige.
I've only ever toyed with it but Inferno has some interesting properties. They've got a system that will run the dis virtual machine on a 32-bit cpu without an mmu.

It is certainly a difficult subject. I understand the good intentions of affirmative action, but I think they cause more harm than good in the long run. To be passed up for a position due to your gender or race, or for a company to hire someone with lower technical qualifications than they'd normally accept due to gender or race, creates a lot of resentment and cultural issues. This isn't just negative opinions at the microscale; it creates a large-scale perception that certain companies or industries are giving preferential treatment, even at the expense of their own productivity and cohesion. Already I see a lot of people complaining about this on various websites, though it's probably overexaggerated a bit given that diversity quotas aren't that popular with US companies relative to many European countries (yet).

Even worse, it also might encourage more division and more prejudice towards those minority groups. If a company gives preferential treatment to hiring women, then what are many coworkers going to inevitably think when a woman makes a mistake or something? "You only got hired here because you're a woman." And in that case, they actually have some empirical backing for that assumption. I don't belong to a minority group, but I feel like the anxiety of other people wondering or believing I only (or primarily) got into a certain place because of my gender or race, and not my qualifications, would be very uncomfortable and demotivating. Some people may already think that even when it's plainly not true, but a lot more people will think it if it starts becoming more true more often. Not to mention, on top of that, fear that maybe I'm not that great and my gender/race really was a major factor in my hiring decision. Talk about imposter syndrome.

Also, just on a more general ethical note: People in certain groups have indeed been treated very unfairly for centuries, but flipping the table feels kind of "eye for an eye".

Of course unconscious biases are a major problem and will probably be impossible to get rid of or ignore during a hiring process, but I think blind hiring procedures (no name, gender, age, etc. listed on resume or during the first stages of initial online interviews) are an all around better option. I think if organizations work hard enough, they can eliminate a lot of these issues in the pipeline. If, hypothetically, an equal number of male and female candidates make it through the blind stages, but many more men make it through the following stages, they can look at it and quickly determine if they have a problem that needs addressing.
>I find it a bit funny that they call it a "gender index", but it really just cares about discrimination against women.

Find all issues where women are worse off than men. Create an index to compare places all over the world. Update the index to remove areas where women are no longer worse off than men and to add any new ones where they are.
It seems like they could have combined many of these graphs if they would have used a different type...

Then change the fee schedule to reflect this.

The problem I have is that your system does not serve 2/3rds of the customers. Your best students are pretty much self-taught, so why do you charge them for all of the your time. The poor students do not show up either, so why are you charging them for your time as well?

I am not critizing your specific method of teaching, just your fee schedule. You admit that your services are basically useless to 2/3rds of the sutdents, yet you charge twice that of a personal tutor service for each and every one of your students. That is where the anger is coming from.
Here's my translation of the first part of the article:

"Paintings of an exceptional quality have been discovered in Poitiers cathedral this year: 900 square meters of painted murals dating to the 13th century, hidden under a coat of whitewash since the 18th century. The vivid colors and the designs have in large part survived. It took an infiltration of water in the southern transept of the Saint-Pierre catheral in Poitiers to rediscover these works. Damaged stones needed to be replaced, and historical researchers took the opportunity to examine the stones.

Good choice! Behind the layer of whitewash laid down in the 18th century, undoubtedly to hide these sublime paintings, which were too damaged or outdated in terms of the taste of that age, there was color. The simple masonry construction was transformed suddenly into a monumental site."
While I can't say I've experienced any significant memory usage or latency issues (possibly because I'm targetting recent hardware and working with large volumes of data), I'm completely in the same boat with QtQuick and CopperSpice does look quite interesting, I'll have to check it out.
I use Qt a lot on smaller embedded targets and I haven't moved to 5. Don't really want to mess with the new windowing system and I can't put Wayland/Weston on a lot of my smaller projects.

Well, it's definitely more socialist than the US, on average, that's true. The United States certainly fares worse than most of the key players in Europe in this regard:

http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2015/ran...
So, let's get this out of the way: will the people who are going to argue that the US is not a police state please step forward and address this damning evidence? The only way we know about this stuff is by someone deciding to play outside the rules and inform the public directly.

The security services and police are wildly out of control and have been intensely surveilling and scrutinizing the content of innocent people's communications without any oversight. This clearly doesn't make us any safer, as there have been two terrorist attacks on US soil during the era in which these totalitarian abuses have happened, so that argument can be discarded.

In short, we don't have security (nor could we ever have perfect security), and they've taken our liberty without our permission. Disgusting abuse of democracy. How can people attend a political rally or do any political activity when they know that their attendance and discussions are going to be analyzed for weaknesses by a malevolent third party?
As other commenters have mentioned, you aren't acknowledging the student's responsibility. This is especially true in a university setting. You aren't going to leave university with everything you need to know to jump right into a professional job. The entire point of university is to give you the foundation for teaching yourself what you need to know to do your job in your chosen field.
> Client side decorations give way more space to the actual content than to waste space for an almost empty titlebar. It allows to combine the titlebar with content from the application itself. You regard them entirely off as a "sin". Very strong language but you don't explain _at all_!

You can do that without client side decorations.

KDE with Qt even plans to allow telling the Window manager to render specific widgets in the toolbar.

The manager can ignore that, and render them as separate toolbar – or even render them in a bar at the top of the screen.
If you have to develop cross-platform desktop applications, you pretty much have to create an abstraction between your app and the OS interface.

Qt makes that relatively easy and painless.

I really like how their instant answers are open source, and they're really nice. (e.g. npm, GitHub, regex/vim cheatsheet)

I do have 2 complaints, and together, they made me switch back to Google.

1) Results aren't as relevant, especially when I'm searching for very new or specific things.

2) Speed. I'm not sure why, but DDG seems to stumble on some searches, which end up taking 2-3x the time they're supposed to.
Very neat! :-)

Unfortunately, I'm having a little problem "regulating the heat": C-+ is supposed to make the fire bigger, C-- smaller. When I run this in a tty, neither of the two does anything. When I run it under X, C-+ moves the fire down and C-- moves it up. Is it just me or is that a bug? (Running elementaryOS Freya.)

> [Of course, you'd never get a ticket in this situation, and I think there are even legal provisions regarding respecting the "flow of traffic" in some US states.]

This is exactly how I got my first ticket. I was moving with the flow of traffic, which was going about 15mph over the 55mph speed limit on a busy four lane divided highway. Highway Patrol flew up out of nowhere, angrily berated me for five minutes, and gave me a speeding ticket.

Now I just go the speed limit. People cuss me out and flip me off, but that's preferable to paying several hundred dollars. (And for me, it turns out not to really be worth it anyway. Most places I go speeding saves me < 5 minutes, and I get much better gas mileage, up to 48mpg, accelerating slowly and not driving faster than 65mph.)

Can you, by the way, cite any state laws explicitly saying it is OK to exceed the posted speed limit if doing so is required to move with the flow of traffic? I have heard this claim a lot but I have never been able to find real proof of it. There are sometimes "flow of traffic" laws applicable if you're driving too far below the posted speed limit, which is assumed (wrongly) to be the maximum "normal and reasonable" speed of normal traffic, and there are laws against driving slowly in the left lanes, and sometimes laws that allow you to speed while passing on a two-lane road, but I have never seen one that was applicable to someone driving at or above the speed limit and would have allowed them to legally speed.

Compensation structure generally depends on the business structure and type of product. There are almost as many ways to create a sales pay structure as there are sales people.

As for interviewing and finding the right person, I am a huge fan of having them sell me their old product, then immediately asking them to sell me on the largest competitors product (to what they used to sell), then I like to put them in front of my product and ask them to tell me about it. I expect a good sales person has already done research so they should have a clue what your product does. There are some caveats if you don't have a public website etc, so you have to work around that sometimes. If you don't have information they can learn ahead of time, you should sell them the product and let them poke holes in your sales pitch, have them play customer and ask you questions. That will tell you if they have good insights to common customer questions as well.

Hiring people that have never sold software to sell software is usually a bad way to go for your first few hires. You need industry experience and contacts.

Some more things I generally ask. Who is the person who influenced their sales process the most and how? How do they stay up on new sales methodologies? Get them to describe the difference between marketing and sales (this helps you understand how they see the team). Who is their most important contact in their rolodex that the can call on if needed? And there are a ton of other things like this.

In general when hiring sales or other non-engineering roles, the decision is about cultural fit, experience, personal attitude and of course capabilities. Remember, that you will likely go through a few sales team members before you fine one you really mesh well with that can lead your sales.

In fact, this already happens for most primary and secondary education in the United States. Given the level of segregation in our cities and suburbs, massive inequalities in school funding, teacher training, and facilities essentially amount to an apartheid system of education. Families who can afford to move to better school districts or send their children to private schools often do.
Indeed it is a non-problem that can be solved without CSDs.

In KDE, the current plan of some is to allow the window to give the window manager the info that it should put some widgets in the window bar.

The manager could then put them in the window bar – or at the top of the screen – or in a separate toolbar.

This provides the advantages, and avoids the disadvantages.

I have always thought that at least part of that degree implies that you have the initiative and self-guidance to achieve things with little outside direction. I have noted a few employers who ask for a four year degree, but not in any specific field and this certainly indicates that employers are looking for people who know how to go out and achieve things without having to be told all the details of getting it done. Students expecting constant supervision really sets them up for failure in the real world as management typically does not have the time to supervise every aspect of their reports work.

Also, the high achievers know how to go out and figure out and do things on their own.

> the upstream Perl tarball […] contains an ever increasing set of modules

I don't think this is true. I count a total of 6 modules added and 10 removed in stable releases of Perl from 5.12.0 (that is, since Perl adopted its current release-management process). Corrections welcome if I'm miscounting, of course.
