Then make the business case to the right stakeholders that supporting the latest versions of Android is important. I don't see how the digital signage ecosystem not staying up to date is Google's fault.

Yep. Here and on reddit people are happy to say "we hire for programming skill, not framework or language knowledge!" and they may be right.

However, almost every time I have been rejected or offered a job and given a reason has been for a lack of domain knowledge (or in the latter case, possession of that knowledge!) of a particular framework or language.
Maybe Google should train their cars at demolition derbies instead of on public roads. Have one group of vehicles trying to crash into another. And let competing teams of students program the crashers. Winning team gets $25K.

And play with touch football rules to keep the costs down. Cover vehicles with touch sensors and cameras that record each crash.
That still doesn't sound like the cache line "bouncing around" any more than it would if a single-core app did the same work. There's no contention on it the way there would be on a shared mutable value, at least.
The top five open source projects on Github can't bring in $200/month each?
It does help that Game of Life physics is somewhat simpler than Real Life physics. Of course, Real Life physics is a little less apt to collapse into a seething mass of undifferentiated matter of you poke it in the wrong place.

This is the slowest spaceship known, right? (Which isn't a machine made out of other parts?)

Mind control in the same way encyclopedias used to favor subjects that start with the letter A?

I swear, sometimes I think the world is inhabited by p-zombies, who don't actually think things through, but just mindlessly recombine previously consumed memes into (slightly) novel variants.

Was this written by a second grader?
I think it's often a result of Occam's razor being mixed up with Hanlon's razor, or something similar: they claim that an argument for accident, forces of nature, or incompetence is more convincing than an argument for malice or willful intent, and that the former requires less assumptions than the latter.

I think this is often true, but definitely not always.
In a filesystem, you can address the problem by reorganizing the directory structure. And you can do the same for future Git commits. But unless I'm mistaken, that colossal directory is stuck in the git history unless you actually rewrite that history, which would require everyone who cloned the repo to either rebase or re-clone the repo. Maybe it's not a problem because the cost is only paid when one checks out one of those old commits, which would happen rarely?
Advertising is a part of lead generation. Content marketing with paid distribution is a valid strategy that is in use by a ton of SaaS companies today operating on the Predictable Revenue model.

I know chronic pain can last a lifetime. I was more so talking about one off aches that you can't find a cause for but which do often go away within the week.
Well, those devices rarely get updates anyway.
yes, that's probably the way to go for enterprise SaaS businesses. I should have been more specific, though.

For brand advertising for Enterprise Saas, not lead generation, what are some good strategies?
I'm just saying I wish we could have only organic results. Why should people with more money have more of a presence online? Money shouldn't be able to buy speech.

The Internet should not be a place where those with more money get to cut the line in front of those with less. Let PageRank sort it out.

Also, what's this about my example not holding weight because "information purity" doesn't exist? It's not about the information itself being pure, it's about purity of ranking. Let's just spell this out:

money !== relevance, therefore any influence of money on search engine rankings is, by definition, noise.
Nice Work!
Man building tool vs. man. :)
Interesting case. Kind of rooting against the EFF on this one cause it's victim-blaming, even if they were useless at security. Dropbox and Slack have also been useless at security at different moments in their existence. Transmission was useless at security until last week, Linux Mint was recently called out for insecure practices too.

We know that there’s no such thing as “perfect”
security, but when you are caught with bad practices
in a banner year for data breaches, you should be
dedicated to securing your users’ information
OTOH, that same fragmentation also means competition. Allowing for multiple independent languages to run on the platform means a plethora of developers to whom the platform is now accessible.

Having an API that is easy to use would really open up the ecosystem. Also, having much faster, machine targeted code (ie: compiled with CPU architecture and model specific optimizations and instructions) in C, C++, Rust, Go, etc. would mean better performance and less battery usage in some apps, which overall would translate to a superior user experience.
"I don't see any problem with the way the world's most powerful system for freeing the mind has been co-opted by for-profit enterprise. I am ignorant of any possible alternatives.

We as a society have no control or influence over what individual actors do, and thus no discussion of possible alternatives is necessary."

When I moved to Py3, it was the thing that got me most often. It was annoying. But three things changed to make that less annoying:

1. I got used to it, fairly quickly. That made me care less.

2. I used print-statement debugging less, and unit tests more. This was a good thing generally.

3. For those times when I did need print to debug, I found I could drop in pprint:

import pprint
print = pprint.pprint

which is very useful. That won me over.

I've rarely needed naked print to do anything but quick testing and debugging (because by the time I have a command line script, I want at least to have a -q option, so I need to run output through some kind of proxy function). The standard arguments for print() (i.e. composability, extra arguments), I've not needed, but the ability to replace it, I rely on totally now.

Of course, YMMV, this is just my experience.
Do me a favor, don't move anywhere else. We don't need that attitude spreading.
Last time I looked into doing some content based image matching in nodejs the best I could find was a node-phash fork that was difficult to get working on osx.

Does anyone know if this has changed since?

If you use a tool like zypper-docker, you can create a new image quickly that applies just the security patches. Currently it only works for SUSE-derived containers but we're planning on making it distribution agnostic.

There's also some work we're doing on connecting Docker containers running on SUSE enterprises to connect with SUSE Manager (aka spacewalk), so they would show up in their systems.

You can find most of this stuff in github.com/SUSE.
It provides evidence that search engine rankings influence opinion, which I do not doubt. From a business perspective SEO exists for this very reason.

It also provides evidence that Google as a company likely supports Hillary to at least some degree. Of this I also have no doubt.

But it uses FUD to say you should connect the dots and state that Google is actively manipulating rankings to assist a particular candidate. Of this, they provide no evidence other than "they could".

It's that last bit I take issue with. There's no analysis to support this notion.

If they did such an analysis I'd be very impressed as it would very much help discuss the deeper issues of Google's power over opinion. Essentially, Google is the portal to information for most people. They are a private company operating for profit that uses an algorithm that must be secret for it to work. I understand the unease with that situation and enjoy reading discussions about it.

However, their choice to essentially accuse Google of altering their algorithm to support Hillary is unsupported at this time. By adding it in it hurts their broader argument that gatekeepers of information should be subject to increased scrutiny and potentially to new regulations to ensure their neutrality.

Flink guarantees exactly-once application state access/updates. There is no mention of exactly-once delivery anywhere and it is pretty much impossible to offer this for just any general sink. That does not exclude the possibility of offering a special-purpose transactional sink implementation in the future though (e.g. via external distributed locking/state reconciliation), just saying...
Many states already stagger EBT payments throughout the month, which prevents the boom-and-bust caused by the sudden influx of spending power.
Minor correction: organ harvesting by the Chinese government on death row prisoners is considered human rights crisis by many countries, so is the death sentence itself. Also, illegal organ harvesting by criminals probably exists, but is a serious crime.

Organ harvesting falun gong member just because they were part of a cult is a large leap of logic from what the government claims to do, and has been debunked many times. I was there when the cult was declared illegal, the few staunch practitioners in my neighbourhood were harassment by elderly women in neighbourhood watches daily, but few actually went to jail, let alone being sentenced to die or have their organs missing.

On the whole country's level, especially after the organization turned from a cult to anti-CCP dissident group, I won't be surprised some leaders are captured or even killed.

If anything, the successful campaign to legitimize falun gong, and various rumours they spread just shows how easily the public can be manipulated with fake facts. I didn't realize how many people actually believe in those propagandas until today, it has been quite a shocking revelation.

Just to put things in perspective, back before the cult was outlawed, their leader was advocating against seeing doctors when one is ill, and that practicing his school of qigong will cure all their problems.
Try something like Heroku. Commit the code to Git, push the repo to the Heroku repo and it deploys it to the servers for you. Easy.

I have to agree - I use Neovim daily but find myself switching for a couple of things (Sublime for whole-project searching and MacDown for live markdown previews). NyaoVim has the potential to take over all of those roles (assuming the performance is there).

I'm not sure it would happen in such an obvious way. It would probably happen in a way that "makes sense" for most of those people, and not from a "let's manipulate the votes" perspective.

I'll give an example. The establishment corporate media is already biased. That much has been clear this election (although it's been happening for many years or even decades).

The Internet is "pretty free" right now, and people can Google, or go on Twitter and see "news" that doesn't necessarily come from that establishment media. However, that is already starting to change.

Google, Facebook, and Twitter can all change that by giving "brand name" media much better ranking results through their algorithms. In some cases, such as with the recent "AMP" project, these companies won't even have to rely on good search ranking. They just benefit from having partnerships with Google and being shown at the top of the page automatically. What this means is that the corporate media's brainwashing continues almost unfettered going into the future.

The upside is that people can still look for other sources and views on the Internet, while they can't really do that on TV. So in that way the Internet is still better (as long as it doesn't start implementing "ISIS & others filters" with a new US president. But the portals through which most people get their information are getting tighter and tighter relationships with establishment corporate media, and voter education will suffer for that.

Ideally, what I'd like Google to do, unless it actually wants that kind of "bias" on its search pages (whether it comes from the results or otherwise), is for them to use their increasingly more advanced AI to figure out which elections stories are "biased" and fact-free, and which are the closest to the facts and use the least biased language in them.

"Journalism" is supposed to be about the facts, and Google search should be promote that kind of stories over the biased hit-jobs. And Google should also verify those facts itself with its AI, so it shouldn't just promote stories with false "facts".

It's not going to be easy to do something like that well enough, but I think Google could do it, and I think AI has reached a point where that may be within its grasp within a few years.
Let’s not mischaracterize replication studies
I'd still like to know where I can buy the new Xeon D variants at an affordable price. The Avoton variants are okay but the availability is not good, certainly in the UK.
And the Queue has an O(n) remove operation, because it just uses Array.unshift. There are plenty of implementations with O(1) remove, like http://code.stephenmorley.org/javascript/queues/
Why are you trying to get network throughput on a VM? Of course it's going to be slow, but KVM probably has some passthrough optimisations for Linux guests.
I'm a bit disappointed that the top comment is a plea to legalize all drugs.

I don't see what this has got to do with the topic, namely that a legal drug is killing 19,000 Americans each year while making many more addicted. I was expecting to read some suggestions on how to address this problem.
Just a FYI, but before I recently got a blue card for working at a startup in Berlin, I'd applied for my second free-lancers Visa. I sheepishly showed the officer that I had like 3k in the bank at the time, and she give me a bit of a scolding and told me that it wasn't enough, and then proceeded to give me a 2 year visa.

Don't forget to mangle the strings, otherwise inserting things with names meaningful to Javascript ('hasOwnProperty', '__prototype__') can cause great suffering.
Not that I really doubt you (the FreeBSD developers have a hard won and worthy reputation in this area!) but do you have any benchmarks that help back this claim?

I promise this isn't a question to try to make a point, I'm genuinely interested.
You can take a look at their paper... http://airesearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/deepmind-ma...

Basically, the ("lots of hardware") distributed implementation gets ~3100 points in the Elo rating against ~2900. ~2900 is still sufficient to win against Fan Hui. So I would say, that yes, this algorithm has most of the merit here.
Are there any alternative treatments of pain that don't involve drugs? for ex http://www.570news.com/2016/03/06/waterloo-man-praises-local...
I wonder if this can be applied to high quality pixel images as well or if the distortion would look weird.
If he's looked at it already he's probably right but doesn't hurt to double check. I mentioned it mainly because I've mentioned my headaches to many doctors over the years and none even raised the possibility or suggested I talked to my dentist about my headaches, so I wasted a lot of time until a dentist happened to bring it up.

If your dentist is unsure if it's worth it and you don't want to spend the money on a custom mould on a long shot I suggest asking for a recommendation for a cheap and crappy generic biteguard to try for a few days. It won't be comfortable and may very well affect your sleep, but it'll be enough to verify it there's any point without the cost.

Another long shot that you've probably discounted already: Make sure you're not compressing your neck at night e.g. by pushing your head up against the top of your bed. I was doing that too, and fixing that helped a lot as well.

Satya Nadella is a breath of fresh air. It's amazing the difference in management styles from the Balmer days.

When Microsoft put Nadella in charge, they made a great decision. And I honestly don't say that very often about top level management.
actually, while the idiom seems initially appealing that feestyle guitar would more closely resemble using the (superficially analogue) mouse than using a (clearly digital) keyboard, actually the opposite is true. That is because the mouse is limited to a small selection of prescribed onscreen choices, whereas the keyboard, while still being a digital medium (unlike the freestyle guitar - on that I agree), has a much, much wider palette of expressiveness thanks to the inevitably orders-of-magnitude greater combination of command combinations of which it is capable.
I presume the OP meant moving LetsEncrypt to an organization that's in a more privacy-friendly jurisdiction.
The Fenzo scheduler is, if I recall correctly, used to do scheduling for Mantis and Titus (formerly Titan). Think of these as a streaming job infrastructure and a container service respectively. Spinnaker can assist you in deployments to both (I use Spinnaker to deploy Mantis jobs, for example) but the two platforms are not completely prolific -- we still deploy much of the ecosystem as baked AMIs.
>Go get a cup of coffee, fire up youtube, and listen Milton Friedman

Another vote for Milton.
I have watched several of his talks on the subject and it is amazing how clear and rational his thinking is. It is a real pleasure to watch. Amazing how this subject has become dominated by misinformation and hype.

Nobel economist Milton Friedman said, "The proper role of government is exactly what John Stuart Mill Said in the middle of the 19th century in 'On Liberty.' is to prevent other people from harming an individual. Government, he said, never has any right to interfere with an individual for that individual’s own good. The case for prohibiting drugs is exactly as strong and as weak as the case for prohibiting people from overeating. We all know that overeating causes more deaths than drugs do. If it’s in principle OK for the government to say you must not consume drugs because they’ll do you harm, why isn’t it all right to say you must not eat too much because you’ll do harm? Why isn’t it all right to say you must not try to go in for skydiving because you’re likely to die? Why isn’t it all right to say, “Oh, skiing, that’s no good, that’s a very dangerous sport, you’ll hurt yourself”? Where do you draw the line? If you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That's literally true.”

Lots of opportunities for snowballs it seems.
All estimates are still lies
I see a difference. Not today, because military drones (as far as I know) are still human-piloted. But that won't last. And then...

It is the same difference as exists between automatic license plate readers and people standing on a corner with a pad and paper. I realize that a certain mindset (active in legal circles, but not exclusively so) that doesn't see that capabilities end up swallowing the original tradeoffs in some contexts.

Put a different way, you're right. There's no capability difference. Lower cost and automation will simply allow much, much more of the same. Like how automatic weapons offer no capability difference over a single shot rifle - they just do the same thing faster. Hm...
All the languages provide the tools to create a mess, the only external dependency is the user. This can be abused quite destructively, but with good intentions it can be used for testing purposes or making a tiny interface to a library. Why throw the baby with the bathwater?
Since so many people suggested it should include dividends and dividend reinvestment, I added that in, based on this chart: http://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend-yield/table - as expected, it makes a huge difference if you go back a ways. (I had no idea dividends were so much larger in the 50s-80s). There's a toggle button to see with and without. Thanks again for the feedback!
It's on topic because if efforts were focused on harm reduction instead of persecution then those resources would help users of these legal drugs too.
You had hundreds of engineers cramming stuff into a mobile app, till it didn't fit. Then you apparently had to make an entirely new version of it since people in much of the world couldn't even download the thing.

That sounds laugh worthy to me.

I also work at a large company that has had its own mobile development "issues", and I found those plenty humorous as well.
What the IBM Layoffs Look Like
"A seething mass of undifferentiated matter" describes runaway exothermic reactions fairly well.

It also helps that Games of Life can be saved and reloaded. If your lab bench explodes, too bad, start over from scratch (assuming you're uninjured).
