It's totally different. Google officially stopped development and support for ADT in Eclipse. But Apple is still supporting Objective-C and most Apple's apps are written in Objective-C.
Minimum weights are used in all sorts of racing, from sailing to F1, both as a bulwark against technology costs and cutting corners on strength. Drag isn't much of an issue in cyclocross. It's the sort of thing you can throw money at for marginal advantage, but it doesn't make those who can afford it unassailable.

Keeping a copy of the disk around might actually be a good idea, as that means the browser has to hold on to it. I've found that in practice, Firefox and Chrome never hung onto the disk image in their cache.
You must be processing a lot of money to feel $6k in the very brief period Bitcoin was $1k a pop is nothing. I think most people would remember that. And how is it really impossible to know what you got the Bitcoins for? Don't you have a registered business and submit taxes?

Are you saying that you provided to the court evidence of your legitimate business which accepts or transacts Bitcoins for services that it is impossible for you not to know about, in the process of which you acquired 7 or so Bitcoins (transactions for which will be on the blockchain), and then you sold them for a higher price at a Bitcoin exchange (transactions for which you should have receipts and email correspondence for) and they didn't accept it?

You don't have to answer any of this, obviously, it's just hard to believe there isn't more to it than what you're saying.
You do see that the market exists though, right? If there are millions of people who will never buy one, that's great! Still millions who will.

Of course, maybe you are right and it is the oodles of non-watch wearers who will finally bring Apple down.
hello, not a bad idea. But i couldn't write on the webchat
The file is an emscripten package, I don't know if it's possible to extract it. If you want to try 95 on your local machine, I'd grab the install CD ISO from somewhere and use it in a proper virtual machine. Probably not VirtualBox, since it emulates graphics hardware 95 can't handle (so you're stuck at 640x480 at 4bpp) and lacks MIDI emulation (no music).

You could also try to run Windows 95 in DOSBox itself, just like this page does, but unfortunately DOSBox has a few issues with it. There are tutorials out there for doing it, though, and DOSBox supporting the right graphics and sound hardware is a big plus.
Afaict the old wisdom that ICC does well on numeric code and vectorisation holds true. I havent used it in a while but, for more general stuff, i've seen it generate some really slow code compared to GCC and clang.

"Ikea also sells a motorized BEKANT, which costs twice as much and has bad reviews due to problems with the motors and controller."

I have a BEKANT and I am pretty happy with it. No issues with the motor or controller. Also, it has a 10 year warranty I think. And this being IKEA, getting stuff replaced should be super easy.

I'm a convert from non-www to www. Just avoids security implications re: cookies and no need to buy secondary domain for static assets. A simple redirect mitigates the "ux" argument that the domain looks less nice to type or read. Simple implementation with more pros than cons.

Should add it's not a hard and fast rule, and depends on the use case. But the default question for me nowadays is "why no-www" and not "why www".

The advice being given by the OP is outdated. The only relevant point is the CNAME for load balancing which, unless you are on AWS which permits CNAMEs on root domains, can be a restriction.

Everything else is advice from someone who still thinks it's 1995. The norm now is for naked domains. www is a concept that has vanished from the "real world" that most of us live in here in 2016. It's natural to hang onto things that you grew up with, and the "I should use www" is one of those things. It used to be the norm. This is no longer the case, and there are few arguments to support keeping it other than "it's what I originally learned to use".
By the way, even the CNAME on root domain is no longer a concern if you are already using AWS. Route 53 has supported CNAME on root domain for quite some time now: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/root-domain-website-hosting...
The eyelash thing is part of the larger phenomena of cuteness. Mammals, be them human babies or puppies, have larger eyes in relation to their heads. It's one of the things that identifies them as young. Women use makeup to draw attention to their eyes, to make them appear bigger and therefore more youthful. So while men may have thicker eyelashes, it is women who generally accentuate their eyelashes, resulting in the social convention that any cartoon with drawn eyelashes is female.

Look at the animation in Archer. Lana and Archer both have thick eyebrows, but Archer doesn't have any eyelashes.
While I view them as pioneers in the space, the fact that executed their cloud code functionality, and did it well is enough for the rest of us to take it from here :)

I used Foxpro for about 15 years, until 2011 when I got laid off from that job. At one point I experimented with MS-SQL and came close to sacrificing the CDs on a funereal pyre because it was just. so. horrendously. slow. compared to Foxpro.

VFP had a slick little way of letting you indirectly address variables and pop them into a SQL statement or other VFP code, and they would evaluate at runtime. Later when I was learning Java & Javascript I was quite annoyed that I was not able to do this.
Business people care about instant revenue generation therefore the fastest programmer is the highest value one in their eyes. Maintainability and technical debt is an abstract and far off cost through this lens. Agile methodology was developed in response to this but in my experience the move fast and break things mindset it brings usually translates into move fast, break things and then put the broken things onto a ever growing bug database where only the most critical bugs ever get fixed.
This is awesome, just replaced my self-signed ssl with it. Great Thanks!!

so the cert will expire in 90 days, how to deal with that? come to the same site every 3 months and regenerate a new SSL cert? Why not at least valid for a year?

No, they don't. The claim that apex domains can't be used with CDNs is badly out of date.

Even a free-tier Cloudflare account supports CNAME flattening, which solves the problem just fine.

It will be time for Swift when they stop making backwards-incompatible changes to the syntax and I can be sure my code from today will still compile tomorrow when I download the latest version of Xcode.

A few microseconds, huh? I decided to do some experiments. Here's how long some 301s on common sites took:

google.com: 529ms
apple.com: 261ms
microsoft.com: 142ms
reddit.com: 61ms

Which is not only 100,000 times longer than a few microseconds but more importantly well above the perception threshold.

Yeah, this would have helped a lot to avoid discussion. I suppose the author of the website expects mostly webmasters to come and read what he writes. But here are a lot of other people as well. So probably it's not the author who should adopt his text (why should he even know we exist) but the title of the link in HN itself should make it clear.
Lets Make America Great(again)
I like this, but I'm trying to understand the consequences of more than one person using the same one. I think the answer is, nothing until two or more users start to clash. At which point it will come down to who trademarked it first. That sounds reasonable, since you are probably dealing with small use cases wouldn't bother trademarking such a thing. They would get their own unique one first.

One the other hand, I suppose a new type of "trademark troll" could hypothetically arise from paying to trademark these, and then suing you for using them. Although I would like to think that a reasonable defense in court would be, "look I just got it for free from this site, and I willing to stop using it". ... and on the third hand, we see actual out of court settlements for patents that have less to stand on than that.

So I guess it's more of a "who gives a damn", and "quit worrying so much" thing.
Legacy of Ashes was indeed a good read...I've made it a point in my life to read the works of all National Book Award winners, and have not been disappointed...

World War II essentially brought the CIA into being...I'm sure the thinking at the time was "we've got to prevent catastrophes like this from ever happening again"...

Light embassy work, Mrs. Peterson's cover, was typical of that era...easy to see why the Soviets were on to the game...a nice looking young woman, embassy employee, out and about just a little more often than chance seemed to call for...

The denouement--her contact's suicide in the interrogation chair--made me wonder how often such scenes played out over the years, on both sides, without the public knowing ...a lonely profession that could end at any moment...

For a nice relaxing look into somewhat-dated spy-craft I usually turn to John LeCarre...his pace is magnificent, evidence of a writer who nailed the seminal advice given to all aspiring writers--"find your voice"...informed and superb characterization separate his works from those in the craft who likely know much more, but lack his narrative skills...

Thanks for posting...
I'm the same. I'm left handed, but mouse with my right hand, which means it was never comfortable with a watch. I think I finally stopped wearing one completely once I got my first smart phone (one of the original blackberries).

Smart watches have virtually zero appeal to me as a result. They feel very much like something my father would be into and most of the people I've seen wearing them are over 50. Anecdotal I know, but to be honest, I'm surrounded by time keeping devices at this point. I have a half dozen internet connected accurate time-synced devices within arm reach right now in fact.

I don't need one while driving since my car has a clock and I can't ever recall the last time I didn't know what time it was or having to make a fuss to figure it out because I wasn't wearing a watch.

It seems like most of the folks who talk about it being useful are people who live in very urban environments and spend significant time on public transport, bicycles or in taxis where time keeping devices maybe aren't as common.
Okay, so should I have to provide a screen reader download with my website as well? If you have a condition that between 5 - 17% of the world has[1] then you should be responsible for setting up your own environment (possibly with the help of your OS) the way it works for you.

> This would be great, apart from apparent insurance regular certificates bring, which I still don't know how to claim.

To my knowledge, that insurance has never been paid out, from any SSL vendor. It's a marketing gimmick.
That's great except the web server (except apache/nginx) needs to be restarted to load new certs, which isn't ideal for production. Many cloud hosting providers don't have an automated way to update certs, which makes it more tedious.
It's hard to say what "real" is when it comes to space. The differences in contrast and brightness are so dramatic that the composites aren't anywhere near what you'd see if you were standing there looking out a window. Take the recent images from Pluto. A "real" version taken with a standard GoPro would be too dark to be worth looking at. Likewise, any image of the sun and all it's dramatic weather aren't anything like the blinding light of the "real" sun.

I'm waiting for someone to compare these composite images, with their possibly different colors, to the Apollo film images. How can they both be of the same place if the sand is a different color? Get ready for some new conspiracy theories.
Just deal with it.
It gets really annoying when you have short single-arg functions. Imagine what swap(_:_) or Collection.suffix(_) would look like with mandatory first arguments.

What about the part about cookies and static content? Why do you consider that inapplicable nowadays?
I had mine on http://[subdomain].rya.nc/wedding/ and had it printed that way with the wedding invitations and even my less technical relatives didn't seem to have problems with it. Did you have a bare domain or did you include http:// and the trailing slash?

To be fair, Lucee (formerly Railo) is a great open-source implementation of CFML.
Since it's for personal use, you can fire up something like an EC2 server, point the domain there for a few minutes, and provision a LE certificate. Copy down the generated key/cert files and you're in good shape for three months.

I still support a few apps in ColdFusion. It wasn't that long ago that I was speaking at CF conferences; I still am the manager of the Houston CF user group. I started my career at a time when it was a super fast option to build a web app (1999).

It's still a solid language, but there just isn't the ecosystem that Rails (and others) have, which is where I'm mostly parked these days.
The phrase "US ruling elite" is used a couple of times in this article. It's refreshing to me because we don't use that term much here in the United States, likely because we (are supposed to) believe in democracy.

Google Groups is basically newsgroups - indeed, I believe the product you use in the business evolved out of Google's old Usenet interface - except you read archived messages in Google Groups over a crummy web interface instead of something with RFC standardized protocols and formats and a variety of high-performance native clients specifically designed for browsing that sort of thing.

That said, the search is better.

> I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application: it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory after freeing it.

The alternative is to either stifle improvements, or to bloat the language. And we all know what that looks like looks at C++

I personally am happy they're making backwards-incompatible changes, and I hope they always continue doing that. I'm happy to maintain my software in return of working with an elegant, cutting-edge, small, logical language.

Can you expand on this? What is "structured programming"? Why is it misguided to make it visual?

The Poisonous Reach of the College-Admissions Process
Am I the only one who doesn't hate email? It's certainly easier than typed memos and postit notes we used to use. And the fact that it is all recorded does seem to stem some of the inane chatter. Email remains my primary means of communicating with clients and I haven't felt any push to get rid of it.
Mortgages offered far more people their own house that could have never purchased a house otherwise. Increased demand was met in the majority of the country with increased supply (you may have noticed that houses can be built and the majority of the US is empty). Only a few places on the coasts are so constrained that it pushes people out. The main reason that houses have gotten to be so expensive is because wages stagnated and people don't want to compromise on their demands for space/features (look at the features and size of a new KB home and compare that to the box of shit you got in the 70s). Stripping demand would not make it any cheaper to build houses the way people want.

You can buy a unit in a trailer park on a year or two of low salary. Why do you think people aren't doing that?

If you eliminate mortgages, it only forces people to rent which is a massive waste of money that concentrates wealth into those who are privileged enough to own homes.

WRT wall street, if they were only interested in supporting monopolies, they wouldn't be involved in the IPOs of any company that has a competitor ever. It's not even optimally greedy to only support monopolies because the best returns come from investments in companies that disrupt competition. So you're whole rant against wall street is a bit dumb because it doesn't even line up with the behavior of purely sociopathic greedy actors like you seem to think they all are. Keep ripping down those strawmen.
Historically, structured programming was developed to eliminate the need for the GOTO statement and gave us the conventional control structures present in most PLs today: for-loops, while-loops, if-then-else statements, switch-case statements, etc.

I think these structures are inappropriate in 2D because they assume a linear, 1D context for understanding.

This is a manual version of what's meant to be an automated process. I believe the idea is that certificate revocation is a big mess right now, with Chrome not using the main revocation registry, and other browsers not being great at checking / enforcing revocations.

So the EFF decided that since automated certificate regeneration makes how often a cert expires irrelevant, they should use short-lived certificates so compromised certs can only be used maliciously for a short window, regardless of how well any given browser honors revocation registries.

I can't speak to whether this manual version of Let's Encrypt has flexibility in choosing certificate lifespans.

Fast inverse square root[0] is something that I encountered in the mid-2000s in the Q3A source code. It took me a really long time to understand it, and I eventually had to show it to some professors before I really understood what was going on and why this worked.

That's really an example of how arbitrary human thought processes are. When you release the constraint that your code has to have some human-comprehensible analog, you might arrive at interesting results.

Yes, you can get very general macro insights from metrics like that--if they're publicly available--but they are kind of worthless from a understanding point of view because they don't tell you what/where/when/who. The federal government does something similar with imports/exports for energy. But it's voluntary surveys and not guaranteed to be reliable. Especially since how much someone moves is competitive info.

It's more interesting to know that JP Hunt increased their lettuce hauling business from California to Missouri than it is to know that trucking tonnage creeped up ir down. That doesn't give you insight into the why or what's happening behind the scenes.
