If that were the case, it would apply to every large-circulation publication, though. So it's a moot point. You could just as easily say the same thing about the NYTimes, the Financial Times, or the Economist.
Because things haven't really changed, deep down. Whites as a whole still put themselves first, deservedly or not. Whites who gentrify neighborhoods are moving up in the world at the expense of blacks who have no choice but to move out.

In the previously black Brooklyn neighborhood where my ex-girlfriend lives, where whites now equal blacks in numbers, the playgrounds of public schools are filled with a sea of black children, and I have to look hard to find the 3 or 4 white kids. Where are all the white kids? In private schools. Blacks left behind, stranded, yet again. Any chance that the public schools will get better when the those with power have abandoned them? Fat chance. Blacks, you are entirely on your own to level the American playing field. It's the law of the jungle. It's all about power and self-interest. The Matthew Effect is the true invisible hand.

The numbers of whites who speak out against police brutality against blacks is far too few. As MLK said,

> It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait on time.”

I could go on and on, but how do I do battle with cognitive dissonance? Just look at the top four comments under this story about racism and slavery and moral failure. One focuses on the use of "oddly". The next laments the lack of photos. The next wonders how scupping the rudder makes sense. The next takes from it a lesson on the difficulty of colonizing another planet.

This is not at root a color problem: roles reversed blacks would behave the same as whites. The problem is that those in a position of privilege and power choose to use their privilege and power to amass more, quite unwilling to sacrifice much in the name of fairness and sticking up for the under-powered, the underprivileged. Except perhaps with some Facebook likes on anti-racism articles.
That's not a bad goal. I want my own personal Codsworth.
OK, wonderful. What text editor do you use in this environment? vim? emacs? ed? Where do you run your command line? A command line can run in a dedicated terminal emulator, or it can run...inside of an IDE, or inside of emacs, or tmux. How do you do compile/edit cycles--vim quickfix? Just run the compiler in a separate window and manually move to each error?

The post mentions composition, extensibility, and keyboard instead of mouse. Many IDEs can do that. Certainly emacs can. Then it says that the UNIX way has "consistency." If that were true I wouldn't spend so much time reading the bash man page when I'm trying to figure out all the ${parameter:?expansion} options.

This is not really a specific post. It's your usual paean to old-school UNIX but it does not say what it really means to use "the command-line as a programming environment".
As a researcher I read your first sentence and envisioned something much more positive than where you took it. Imagine being able to see a record of every page of every book a researcher looked at when putting together their own manuscripts. This would enable discovering gaps in knowledge, and could also serve as an extended bibliography that beyond just what was remembered and cited.
The inclination to take from people of color at the cost of their own existence and then offer little, if anything, in return is the parallel. This has changed little 250 years later in European and American societies because just as before, people of color have to fight to justify their equal worth and right to exist. It's a partial takeaway from the OP.
What are your favorite's that didn't make it to the list?
I replaced a Nexus 5 which (sadly) broke with a Moto X (2014) a year or so ago. It's 5.2" diagonal I believe but the ergonomics of the smallish bezels and curved back have made it feel like a good size so far.

Maybe I've just grown accustomed to it but I never felt like it was huge, as I did the first time I went from an older phone with a 3" diag screen to a 4.3" one.

I think a big part of it is the fact that many users spend most of their time browsing the web (easier on the eyes with a big screen), using mobile apps and games (same thing), and typing messages (easier to use onscreen keyboard with two thumbs when the buttons aren't tiny). The bigger phones look and feel weird when you're holding this big slab up to your head but I don't think I've used mine to make a phone call in a month now.

I don't wear baggy pants but these 5-5.5" phones always fit in my pockets. Even in slim jeans I have no issue with the Moto X and I think some of that has to do with the curved back. The flat screen sits against my leg and the curve means there aren't any sharp edges sticking out.

Other that not needing a new phone yet, it's something that's kept me from buying one of the newer Nexus 6P phones. I really like the feature set and it looks nice enough but it seems like it's maybe at a point where that pocketability will suffer.

WebRTC Growth to Continue for the Industry in 2016
I live in a world full of people that love talking about doing things, but very few of them actually do anything.

This is how I moved to SF. Talked about doing a startup with friends. Move out there and they'd all rather smoke weed and get drunk than work on our project.

Happens in every facet of life as well. People talk about going to Europe, but never go. Talk about getting in shape, but never exercise, etc.

Dreams are great, but if you act on them you might fail. Or it might actually take some thing to accomplish those dreams. Sad that more people don't follow through.

While the GP's offhanded connecting of the dots between a slave ship and African-Americans might be unnecessary, implying that the plight of minorities in the United States stems solely from their personal failings is no less simplistic or naive than the original statement.

Socioeconomic status and race are a whole lot more complicated than "minorities need to work harder", which is what "personal failings" typically translates to. Entrenched poverty and the effects of legalized second-class citizenship don't simply disappear in 60-70 years.
I think that aesthetically, thinner looks more impressive and "cooler" so that's what sells. We're moving past it but for a majority of (anecdote warning) people I know, buying a phone still consists of walking into an electronics store or a carrier store, walking up to the wall of phones, and comparing the hardware and price.

Sure, branding, advertising, OS preference, and other stuff has a large influence but once that is decided, they're still comparing between two or three Android phones or the big iPhone and the regular iPhone.

And in that situation, even if the spec sheet lists claimed battery life, it's a number in the small print. But impossibly thin slabs with bright, crisp screens have a more immediate appeal I think. To get a real idea of comparative battery life, you almost need to do some proper research and compare battery test results from technical sites which most people simply don't do. And even then, the difference between 3000mAh, 3200mAh, and 3400mAh is just gonna be lost on most people.

To make the inevitable car analogy, it's like asking someone to choose the plain looking car over the cool looking car because it gets 4 more MPG for the same price.

You probably know better, but I want to dispel some misunderstandings this post might unintentionally create. I am not a lawyer, nor am I associated with FSF, nor am I associated with AdaCore.

Using a compiler licensed GPL does not mean that you have to release your software under GPL or a compatible license.

As far as inclusion of runtimes into binaries, gcc has the "GCC runtime library exception" so that binaries compiled with its runtime don't have to be GPL-compatible.

And FSF versions of GNAT have something comparable, via the "GNAT-Modified GPL" which also has a runtime exception.

AdaCore is not FSF, it's a for-profit software company. If you are talking specifically about AdaCore compilers, it seems they intentionally removed their runtime exception as an incentive to buy AdaCore GNAT Pro, if you want to use their compiler to release commercial software.

So I guess if you insist on using AdaCore compilers, AND you want to make money on your products, you will have to pay the company whose product you are using to make money.

If AdaCore chose to release their teaser/free product under a proprietary license, I suspect nobody would be complaining about GPL here. They just happened to make the free product available under GPL.

> Along with the shift in meaning of "literally," another major shift in language is occurring w/r/t to the use of "How."

> Often these days, you can substitute "How" with "That."

Not really; the uses of "how" -- which aren't really substitutes for "that" -- that don't address a mechanism by which an effect is achieved but either the manner in which it manifests or the degree to which it manifests (the latter being essentially the same as phrase "how much", though the "much" is often left out) are both centuries old and in continuous, common use.

The article is not about merely "That the lights reduce suicide" but "How [much] the lights reduce suicide". Which is a long-established, not novel, use of "How", despite being distinct from another potential meaning of "how", "By what mechanism did the lights reduce suicide."
Well, in a dictionary words are not listed at the beginning. The alphabet itself doesn’t have the most common letters at the beginning. What we should do is put the manpage examples at the beginning instead of the end.
The way I heard it, old Ben saw the little fishes inside the stomach of the big fish and decided it should be OK to kill and eat the fisherman.
I don't think the comparison is particularly valid; other animals don't exactly subject one another to industrial-scale murder. I would be much more inclined to agree with you if every animal that a human ate, it killed, cleaned, and prepared itself.
I set up CUPS on my laptop a while back and haven't had any issues printing since. I remember it was a bit difficult since it wanted a root password (through the UI) to do stuff, but I don't directly use the root user.

It's do-able. Perhaps if adventure is the goal, it's kind of a lie. If you have other goals, it can be awesome. It helps if you have a background where moving around was normal.

I do freelance work online. I went "nomad" nearly four years ago, but generally use a less glamorous label. I self identify most of the time as homeless. But having portable income and a past life as a military wife who moved and traveled a lot on a budget has empowered me to design a new life from the ground up to replace a life that simply did not work with one that did.

My income is gradually increasing, I have traveled enough to feel comfortable that I have finally found a city that should work for me for the foreseeable future and I am currently researching what I will need to do to go from sleeping in a tent to owning a house.

I think it is kind of a lie to think you can do portable work and be "free" to just live life as one big adventure. The fact that you have to work prevents you from playing tourist every minute. But, having been a military wife, I already knew what I could and could not get out of moving around. So I didn't have unrealistic expectations.
Well that's nice and all, but all these years later, I still don't know how to buy a Surface in India. Buying Windows is still a royal mess (the local eCommerce stores have wildly different pricing for different variants, which is again different from the local MS store, which is different from the US store).

MS might be making cool products, but it sure as hell isn't keen on making them easy to buy.

>>We don't need more journalists, plain and simple.

I disagree. In a country with free press, journalists play a critical role in uncovering truths and disseminating the information among the public.

The problem is that the vast majority of people with the title "journalist" today aren't really journalists. They're just brain-dead writers for news conglomerates and PR firms. And yes, getting a degree just for that is dumb. But if you want to become an investigative journalist, then getting a degree for it is a very good idea.

Lazy Authentication Still the Norm
Even if that gets debunked, given that other animals do consume meat, why shouldn't we? Is it OK for a wolf to kill a rabbit for food (typically in a much more painful way than a human would) but not OK for a human? Or maybe we should use our technology to make "justice" in the animal world, preventing wolves from eating other animals somehow?

Mind you, I'm not sure what the correct answers to some of these questions are. Maybe in a few hundred years we will find eating meat obnoxious after all. But I don't think the issue is as clear-cut as your comment implies.

Because the fact that I'm distant cousins with a pine tree, while compelling, is inherently meaningless. Science is a method for achieving a better understanding of the empirical world, but it doesn't begin to address crucial parts of lived experience such as:

What is my place within my community?

What is the point of me being alive right now?

What is 'good'?

Stuff like that. I'm sure you could come up with science-y answers for these questions, but those answers would ultimately be yours, subject to your own experience and judgement. There's no empirical, scientifically objective way to approach these things. That's why religion is still a thing, and why we need stories.

It shouldn't matter. Whether 7 billion people all kill and prepare their own animals, or most of them outsource it to the few running the meat industry, it's more-less the same amount of animals killed, for the very same purpose.

It's good to know that you are able to speak for "whites as a whole," whatever that racist trope means.

You end up with almost all Indians, Chinese, and White males if you try to get competent engineers at a startup.
