Having worked as software dev for formula 1 and as hardware engineer ditto, I can verify this.

You see all. You see people hacking a bugfix in one day on the F1 site, but this fix will not survive. Some shops restore from their backups nightly, you will certainly face a lot of meetings and reports to get your one-line fix back into production. Even on R&D problems, which mostly describes F1.

This case reported here was on the assembly line, there are different rules.

If a strange misproduction happens you certainly want to be able to evaluate the riscs properly. The analogy is a Heisenbug in the production compiler. How often does it happen, how expensive is the problem, how expensive is the fix. There's not one car on the risc, there's the whole line in question. The new robot? The SW or the HW? Wrong measurement, wrong planning, broken sensor, broken motor? Or a real Heisenbug, which appears in HW much more often than in SW. Magneto/electric cabling problem. Or sometimes even light. The cable guy bending an overlong fibre cable <30cm radius. A fibre with a bad cut at one end causing all sorts of crazy effects, and crazy hackish fixes. Missing CAN terminators (analogy to missing SCSI terminators on harddrive chains) in certain F1 cars. It might work, but I wouldn't want to sit in this thing. This new 140.000 rpm high-speed rotor behind my back, making the driver uncomfortable, who is starting making bad mistakes out of fear, and rather pulls this thing out. Relations to completely crazy effects from outside, such as a cleaning lady turning on a bad fan, causing a jitter or spike, having some effects elsewhere. A bug, a real bug, in the system, esp. in Asia or Australia.

I see not much differences from SW and HW engineering.
But the biggest difference I know about is the methology.

Agile in car manifacturing or HW engineering at all only happens at Toyota, nowhere else. Properly planned waterfall, with excellent and high powered middle management is the norm.
If in Asia, Europe or the US.

There do exist some very small HW shops, with 1-4 engineers and 2 managers/sales people, and 2 support. There the development is of course engineering driven. Or there are some exceptions, such as Toyota or VW with crazy assembly optimizations, or e.g. Honda where their boss is one of the best engineers (they are lucky). But they eventually they ran out of luck with their funding and had to sell their very best test site, which was then taken over Daimler. That's why their are leading the F1 currently.

Another difference is proper training. These good engineering companies train their people a lot. Maybe 10x more than in normal SW engineering.
>That's weird. This particular court case is him vs Romania, not him vs his employer. The earlier cases, in Romania, would have been him vs the employer.

The suit is in the European Court of Human Rights. He was claiming that Romania violated his right to confidential correspondence by having civil law that allowed his company to read private messages. He lost, therefore Romania's laws are fine, and thus the employer is still in the right.
What makes it effective or not is if it's actually producing dates.

Makes sense for a guy to swipe right on most women. Being selected by the woman is the swipe that matters. Not much different than the real world. Same economy.
X.509v3 to be precise! I wonder if anyone ever used X509v1 or v2...
The law might require it.

I don't know UK law but in several eu countries a employer can't monitor their own computers unless they have in writing informed the employees about it.
A while ago, I remember looking at the Palantir Glassdoor comments and being appalled. But now they've been whitewashed with a total flood of "5 stars". Curious whether there was an internal campaign to do so...

Update: and from GD itself, "actively asking employees to write positive Glassdoor reviews because reality has become too scathing for us to handle."
Can you define AI?

Machine Learning, means that there is some sort of training/learning involved, but artificial intelligence could be anything, right?
I think it's probably more efficient to be mysterious and let the woman's imagination do the rest. Maybe you have written too much on your profile?
I could be wrong about this, as it's been a while, but I don't think you even have to install SQL Server Express or IIS Express in VS2015. I know you don't have to install Blend.

But, more to the point: how, aside from disk space, does any of that stuff affect you? It's not like it's persistently running. Don't use it, remove it from your toolbars, whatever--you don't have to see it, let alone use it. (It's for this reason that "bloat! bloat! bloat!" always rings so hollow.)

Yes exactly. To take the code snippet a cousin-reply mentioned one step further, swaping @a and @b:

[2 3]

I don't know about Flexbox, but I never saw easy and powerful layout libraries. They can be easy, but with very basic capabilities (Delphi 7) or they can do almost anything, but with a lot of concepts and complex API (Java Swing, Java FX, Cocoa, Qt, HTML positioning in general). I guess, that efficient layouting is just not a simple problem.
Lots of gambling isn't "100% a game of chance": Poker, Blackjack, Horse Racing, etc. That doesn't seem like a very good rationalization for fantasy sports over lottery... and I agree with GP: Lots of fantasy sports folks waste insane amounts of time tracking and updating their rosters. You could justify it as "more fun for the same $$", but that definitely wouldn't be true for me.
Going by what you typed here, I can't help but think you might be going about it the wrong way. When you talk about not being attracted to the people who talk to you or are in your age range, are you going purely by looks? Maybe if you met up with them and talked over coffee or whatever you might start to develop attraction. It's entirely your prerogative if you want physical looks to limit your dating pool, but just seems like an unnecessary restriction to me.

Another plus of meeting up with potential dates is you do get to make conversation. Having a back-and-forth Q&A won't help you get to know someone. You get to learn facts about them, but you won't learn if this person is fun in conversation, if they can keep up with you or you can keep up with them, if you'll see them as an interesting conversation partner or boring, etc. I think at the messaging stage it's about trying to establish friendliness and familiarity, and of course of establishing basic facts about this person (although if that person was a dog, I would most definitely want to meet the dog!), with the goal of setting a meeting time. The face-to-face meeting is where you try to find compatibility. The face-to-face meeting will also let you confirm facts about their profile (bots can't meet in real life, and if a dog was chatting with you I would most definitely want to meet them!).

I'm surprised by the number of women that are still on the site from the last time I went through this 5 years ago.

Some sites have been known to retain profiles from members that have since quit...all as a marketing tactic.

If you were to actually respond to one, you'll get silence on your side but the now-gone user will get a "hey, someone is interested in you, come back!" teaser.

I think this is relevant, at my workplace which is in EU, sysadmins are allowed to access anything that is not explicitly marked as personal.

I've always assumed that this is some kind of EU regulation, but I don't know. Does anybody here knows?

VS2015 improved SSDT builds, I think. Build times were cut in half, but memory usage skyrocketed. I'm supporting a legacy system that used to be north of an hour to build under SSDT. Now it seems closer to 20 minutes, if it doesn't get "Out of Memory".

I do think it maxes out 1 CPU, it's just single-threaded.
Just like in real life. How could it be different?
The are very similar. Recursion is expressing a problem in terms of a smaller case of the same problem. Working backwards/induction is building up from a base case.
You're likely right, but if I was hiring someone, I'd make sure to have a strong rule (ie - work devices/networks are for work purposes only) and a strong disclosure (ie - we reserve the right to monitor, read or otherwise use any and all information on work devices or networks).

Of course, I'm Canadian and our privacy law is fairly strict. Violations are also a tort, even without proof of damage, so my case may be unique.

But regardless, firm, written guidelines applied equally across the organization are always a good defense.

Offline maps are way better than paper maps, though. I go hiking and use maps.me. I just download and import hiking trails as KMZ files. And you can also download the offline mapping and routing data for any country in the world, just like a TomTom GPS.

Paper maps are fine, and I can still read those. But they really pale in comparison to a map with GPS and automatic routing. Also a built-in compass. And a camera. And everything else that a modern smart-phone can do.
My experience of online dating taught me one thing: you have to actually meet someone in person before you ever really know what they're like. If you can just enjoy that -- the novelty of meeting a new person - then whatever happens, dating can still be an interesting and less-painful experience.

The best advice I ever got seems illogical and is barely workable. ("Love always happens when you're not looking for it.") But maybe dating is just something we do to fill the hours while we're waiting...

A tantalizing idea I've been trying to spell out properly that goes against the usual reasoning behind similar problem is that of putting into question the correctness of causality in hypotheticals.

Each such problem I've read about assumes that we can assume causality while reasoning about hypothetical, but strangely, if we let go of that assumptions, then we can arrive at different answers which hinge on otherwise surprising behaviour. I relate this idea to the fact that in logical reasoning, all true statements are, once proved, held to be simultaneously true. That is, given if A then B, with A being true, we don't hold B to be true 'after' A, but to have been always true, given A.

In the pirate problem, limiting ourselves to three pirates to shorten my explanation, we end up with the split being: 99 to C, 0 to D, 1 to E. This is because we assume that if only D and E were left, D would keep 100 to himself. Now given that distribution (99,0,1), D should now change his hypothetical proposal to (0,98,2). If we assume that C is not a 'non-causality' believer, but both D and E to be, then E would vote no to (99,0,1) and D would do the (0,98,2) split. You may argue that D could then do a (0,100,0) split, but that's not how a non-causality believer MUST act, because he knows that to get to that point, he must know thet E can logically know that he will do this split. This can be justified by arguing that when a pirates survives, he will enter such gold-splitting game later on. But my argument is subtler than this and doesn't require it. It basically become this: all such pirates, posited to be perfectly logical, are interchangeable. Thus they must all reason in the same fashion. Thus, my argument is that true pure logical minds see that the true way to maximize their gold profit is to hold a world view that maximize their profit, even if causality is discarded. Thus both D and E know that tehy can maximize their profit by discarding their belief in causality. That is how D ends up proposing (0,98,2) and E accepts it.

Of course, I ended up there by assuming C was not a believer, but given my argument, C must also be ready to throw causality out of the window, otherwise he will end up dead. I believe my argument ends up splitting (49,51,0), but I'm not sure. Once causality is throw out, it's hard to tell, but intuitively, with three pirates, those voting must be given almost equal gold and the remaining pirates must not have a majority.

Actual size is of some importance (lets you fit more on a screen, etc.) but generally I agree that one should emphasize actual improvements that happen to be shorter, over the explicit goal of being short.

I think of Twitter as an example of the brevity problem. On the one hand, the size limit has resulted in some very neat tweets that manage to say a lot in a little space. On the other hand, we ended up with things like super-short URLs that completely remove any hint about their meaning in the name of brevity. One limitation managed to both improve and damage at the same time.

They do this for their own safety. It might not be fair if what is in someone's background check doesn't reflect who they are today. They may be truly remorseful for red flags that show up. But then again, they may not, and the woman just saved themselves the trouble of gambling on someone with a record.

They don't have to get authorization from you if the records are public. And it seems like a small price to pay for safety.
You're changing the direction of the discussion. The comment I replied to was an explicit request for Stallman to comment on this announcement. Why would he?

It's great that you can use Qt under LGPLv3, but that was true yesterday, and that's not what this announcement is about.
You can use a Wacom graphics tablet, which generally works very well.
Here's my take on it:

Hackers or not, we're all still human, and experience emotions like frustration and disappointment. Back when perl6 was first being discussed (what was it, 15 years ago now?), probably a lot of us were getting a ton of mileage out of the remarkable perl5 ecosystem.

When perl6 started getting promoted, it seemed like it took a lot of the wind out of the perl5 sails, like an Osborne effect for a programming language.

When the years ticked by and nothing came of it, and lots of moved onto other languages, I imagine a lot of people still remembered being disappointed at how the perl5->6 situation played out.

Probably some of the negativity is just remnants of that, because, like I said, we're all still human.

And schadenfreude, I'm sure, plays into it, like when the overhyped disappointments Daikatana and Duke Nukem Forever were released...

Anyway, just one man's opinion, of course...
I hate to say this, but a lot of your issues might also be coming from the TFS integration. I know I used to have a bear of a time with random crashes and issues. Since switching to git & resharper I have had a much, much easier time.

With 1 notable exception of 1 huge project.

On large, 40+ project, solutions it seems like Visual Studio just falls on its face. Our new team is redirecting toward microservice approaches in light of some of these frustrations.

Maybe. But a (valuable) brand is associated with a variety of specific characteristics/values/"promise"/etc. If you want to do something with the brand that is consistent with those, great. But, if it's not consistent, the associations that people bring to the brand can actually be a negative.

You explicitly wrote about GPLv3 in your post above. For GPL software in general, your claim is surely true. But I see no reason why GPLv3 might make a difference (except for the few rare cases where tivoization might play a role) over GPLv2 here.
I'd like to respectfully disagree. Statements like that do come from lack of conscious definition of identity. Which for a nation is only possible if there is very strong emotional identity. Then there is no need.

About 86% of Vietnamese are ethnic Vietnamese. I come from similar country and recently visited JFK airport. The fuss Americans have with the flag seems like compensating for something nations like mine have naturally. It's probably manifesting the difference between civic state and nation state.
Some newsprint may last longer than others, but in general, newspapers turn yellow and become brittle after a fairly short period of time. That's why the US Constitution is stored in such an elaborate way, and why big libraries tend to have important and old papers/books stores in a secure vault, and keep newspaper archives on micro film. The Smithsonian has instructions on how to preserve newspaper, and reasons why it deteriorates so quickly: http://siarchives.si.edu/services/forums/collections-care-gu...

I saved some papers from 9/11 in a shoebox in a closet, and when I opened it 10 years later, some of the papers crumbled in my hands. Paper of any kind is fragile and easily damaged by humidity, weather, and fire. We give books and newspaper special treatment every day they're kept safe in our climate-controlled houses. If civilization came crashing down, these archives would be lost very quickly.

100% agree and it makes me try and handle state in a similar way even in plain Javascript without any libraries.

While I agree you'd have to be absolutely nuts to develop an application using GTK+ directly in C (Yes, I think the whole GNOME project is nuts... but it's telling that they adopted Javascript and Vala), the C++ bindings for GTK[0] weren't all that bad when I last looked at them.

Of course, without a MOC equivalent, you can't really beat the slickness of Qt/QML.

I'd love to say that things are any more pleasant for gay people, but I dare say it's the worst of both worlds: Most of the messages you receive are poorly written, by guys looking for a one-night hook-up rather than to start any sort of meaningful relationship (like the women endure in this story). At the same time, because most of the guys in the world are attracted to women, the potential dating pool is tiny (like the men endure in this story).

Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I'm 26 and never even been on a date, so that could be it too.

It's true that we can offload complicated brain tasks like number crunching to computers, but people do a lot of hard things also because the process gives them satisfaction.

For this reason, I think people will continue to study and invent new mental math tricks...
