C++ was used in Windows, and Objective-C never had an official standard. It was also considered a direct descendent which got used in UNIX. Objective-C really needed a standard library.

The cranky person in me would also point out comp.lang.objective-c had an individual who really hated NeXT and made life heck on others.
For those like me who didn't realize you could get to the reservation agreement by clicking to see the currency amount, it's accessible here: https://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/model_3...
I think its fair and clever that the order is non-binding and the deposit fully refundable. But requiring the deposit to place an order prevents or at least reduces any "fun" ordering or ordering for resale on ebay. Anyone seriously wanting to buy a Model3 should have little problem with the deposit.
Text Messaging Remains a Key Factor for Marketers
I'm a contractor for a large research facility. The arrangement is almost exactly as you describe, but I am a W2 employee. They hire researchers with phds and such, while offloading all software work to contractors.

I took the job a year ago with the hope its name recognition would be helpful in the future but I had no idea there was such a stigma around contracting. I'm starting to look around again, so I guess I'll see how it effects me.
How to Adapt to Your Face Transplant
You need a VIN to claim the credit.
Yes, but consent is not something that can be universally declared in a credible manner. There are things that remain illegal even after you have consented to them. For instance, having sex with someone below the age of consent is illegal even if they have consented to it (the idea being, of course, that they may be coerced into expressing that consent).

> All jurisdictions I'm aware of (not a lawyer) have the concept of agents that may act on your behalf with consent. To what extent such agents can act using your name (with consent) vs. using their own name but on your behalf, varies greatly.

They do, but things are not as simple as "can act on your behalf with consent". Around here, for instance (but I'm in Europe), they can only act on your behalf if:

a) You have explicitly given them consent to act on your behalf in that specific situation (i.e. you told them "you can go to the bank on this date and cash in this much in my name"), or if you have explicitly given them consent to act on your behalf with that particular party and for a specified period of time (i.e. you can go to this bank and do anything in my name for this period of time), and

b) The contract that states this has been validated by a notary and recorded by authorities, and

c) The party that they are acting on your behalf with knows about this, has been explicitly informed that they are acting on your behalf, and agrees to work with them under these conditions.

If they fail to do any of these, it's flat-out illegal. I think this is covered under civil law here, though, so it can be voided by a contract -- but the idea is that consent is not as trivial as signing a sheet of paper that says yeah, do whatever you want. It's bound by specific terms, too, the breach of which makes the whole thing illegal, even if on the whole the operation was consensual (i.e. if an agent, with my consent, goes to the bank to cash in a deposit, but does not explicitly inform the cashier that they are acting on my behalf so that they record the transaction accordingly (i.e. done by X on behalf of NotALaser), he's breaking the law).

(Edit: or, to make it clearer: he can represent me, but he cannot claim he's me. He has to explicitly inform the other party that he's acting on my behalf, declare his identity and present the proper authorization etc.)
To this day I still have an irrational love for SGI systems. I've been keeping an eye out for a case to use in a modern build just because. SGI also did a lot of pushing of the industry in good directions imho.
Unless you are desperate or just bored with IT and not interested in learning anything new. I would suggest you to stay away from CRUD dev. No offence to the CRUD devs, but I am one. Maybe I am just on the worst side of things but I really regret no one suggest me to move away from this earlier. Now I am struggling to move away. My skill as a developer is extremely poor and limited.

I think the big picture hasn't changed that much over the last 20 years. Obviously the scale has changed but the fundamental challenges are pretty much the same. The only thing that has changed is the language/framework on top but the basics are still the same. It always surprises me how little really changes.
I think the (very small) mismatch between your numbers and the 1500A figure may be a partly due to power going beyond 500kW, and partly due to voltage sag when drawing that much current. In any case, I didn't even mean that to be a correction, just an interesting related note.

As for people getting killed, I think the pack is hard enough to get into that people who don't know what they're doing are mostly discouraged before they get to the dangerous part. Maybe.
It was actually quite nice to use. Windows felt a lot more sluggish than NeXTSTEP on the same hardware.
I've started using this a few months ago on my mail server that mostly just forwards stuff to GMail, and it's been really good. It catches (and rejects) most of the bad stuff before it even ends up in GMail's filters and, more importantly, this means my forwarding server doesn't get rate-limited anymore by GMail for sending so much spam.

I've been packaging rspamd for Gentoo, and it's pretty straightforward to build and run (more so now if you run Gentoo, of course), so that's good too.
The industry seems to be trending this way, but I think that is a very bad thing that should be fought at every stage. It is leading to ghettoization of talent and the perception of a talent shortage that probably doesn't exist.
Google Cardboard has the best use of QR codes I've seen recently - they convey the config for device. You scan it with your phone instead of having to enter the values by hand. Because they're printed on the device, you're not searching for those config details when you use it with a new phone six months later.

There seems to be this reverse-stigma attached to marijuana that causes many to think there is no such thing as weed withdrawal or dependence, and some laugh at the mere notion of this. Hopefully as the drug is more widely used recreationally and legally, this notion will change and most people will be more aware of these things. It is a remarkable plant but it is certainly not all positive and it can be dangerously abused like any other vice or medication, with real problematic side-effects.

The bezels for each window are crazy. If tablets and phones can detect when my ear is near to the screen they should be able to know when my finger is nearing the screen then overlay some buttons, but otherwise dedicate that screen space to whatever content is in the app.
I also use FreeOTP, but be aware that it stores the keys in plaintext.

That was the reason I chose it actually - it gives me a way to encrypt and back up my codes in one fell swoop - but it is definitely a risk to be aware of on a rooted device.
Ah okay. That's not so surprising I guess. Sometimes I feel TW has some advantage over China in being small. Like a startup, it can implement and pivot easily.
>When your brain is faced with doing a task that's going to require a lot of glucose it will look for shortcuts to save you energy. One of those shortcuts is your mind will look for an available heuristic, swap out the energy hungry analysis for the heuristic, and then signal your conscious mind that you did all the analytical hard work.

Sorry I didn't read the book but I am curious if there is any scientific evidence to back this up.
The hiring manager has a principal-agent problem going on. The manager's incentives are more around avoiding blame for bad hires than getting the best expected value for a hire at the best price.

There are definitely physical dependencies that develop with THC, perhaps not "addiction" but the body does get used to it to the point that withdrawal is a real and physical problem if you've been using it a lot and at strong doses.

You can't be serious with this. You think it's a bug that a website doesn't know what I'm going to do with the bytes they send to me?

I think the fundamental issue you are having is that you don't believe in property rights. Namely you don't think that my computer is mine, and that stuff that gets transferred to it; assuming the transfer was done legally in good faith, belongs to me.

I highly doubt you feel this way about meatspace; I doubt you think someone who hands me an apple has the right to tell me how to eat it. Yet when it comes to computers, you do feel this way.

pdkl95 has done a much better job than me of arguing this point, so I should probably just stop. But it bears repeating:

HTTP is not a contract. Sending me your content is not me agreeing to do stuff that is linked on some other page. If you want me to agree to view ads, or paypal you $20 first, or give you my first born child; you need to send me to another page first where I agree to it. TOS is not a gotcha. You can't trick people to agreeing to something; there has to be a "meeting of the minds".

1. Your parent actually actively maintains a private road, and has probably done their research...

2. It costs them so much because they just have a single road, so they can't amortize the cost over an entire city or country of roadway. Public utilities tend toward monopoly for exactly this reason -- providing the utility to any small fraction of society is enormously expensive.

Make no mistake, natural monopoly is what happens when you privatize utilities. Ever met a Comcast customer who feels anything short of contempt toward Comcast? Now imagine dealing with Comcast any time you need to drive to the grocery store. Or even leave your house.

3. Parent's numbers actually make sense when compared to Florida's, once you realize Florida has an entire state over which it can amortize costs.
I am not one to argue that technology solves the problems of the poor. But, there are lots of holes in this argument:

1. The unbanked already exist in a world that expects them to be banked. Almost all jobs in America are paid in checks or direct deposit. Checks are useless to people without bank accounts. They then have to spend time and money getting the check turned into cash at a check cashing place, like Amscot.

So moving to electronic banking would actually HELP these people. If you really rely on cash, then you are at a disadvantage since most jobs dont pay in cash.

Yes, there are real obstacles in the way of these people getting bank accounts. Education, time, documentation, etc. But everyday someone continues to remain unbanked, they are inconveniencing themselves in many ways.

2. Cash is already dead to a lot of people (in 1st world countries), so surveillance is already possible. Governments, banks, and payment processors ALREADY have access to this information for a large number of people. If this is a large concern, the author should be tackling the fact that this is on-going, not that it might happen in the future.

But it does seem true that killing cash will open up new demographics to the same surveillance.

3. Bankruptcy is not a tool used by very poor people. Its often used by middle class and upper class people who deal with the finance world. I think this article has a very poor understanding of what "poor" means, even in a 1st world context.

4. This whole article is based off of bad solutions. Keeping cash around so that some people will be saved by withdrawing their money in the next financial crisis is NOT the solution to financial crises. Better regulation, management, and transparency is.
I've got a handful of these in a drawer at home. I remember rushing to RadioShack to get one as a kid with such excitement. Followed by disappointment that there wasn't much to do with it. I picked the other ones up at the Goodwill soon after.

My computer at the time if I recall had the big DIN connector instead of PS2 so I had to get a DIN->PS2 and a PS2->DIN connector to put this thing inline with my keyboard.

I'm pretty sure my local tv station WFAA would integrate this into their news broadcast year ago. After the news anchor would finish their story, they would pause and you would hear the tone play. If your computer was setup it would take you to their website to read more about the story.

At least i think i remember this, it was a long time ago.

Edit :

Yep i remembered correctly.

The "expert beginner" concept almost gets it right, but it needs a little tweaking. The key insight is that growth stalls out when people lock into a sub-par set of habits ... and then spend years perfecting this not-so-good approach.

I've seen the same thing happen with journalists (oh, my God, it is chronic and horrible there), and with chess players, musicians and all sorts of other specialists at various crafts and creative skills. These people trap themselves with habits that prevent them from ever being great, yet are just marketable enough that they can earn a living for a long time.

The rot doesn't always set in exactly at the "advanced beginner" stage. It occurs whenever people's willingness to rebuild their game disappears, or whenever they fall under the sway of a mentor/boss who demands conformity to B-minus work practices.

You'd probably end up with a bot that simply rapidly moves the viewport over the whole map over and over again to give commands and see what is there.

Yeah, but the pricing for the API with HelloSign and DocuSign is a bit steep, given their pricing for using their service. $30/month for unlimited document sends vs $2/API call (1 document send) via the API.
Freedom of movement is in the constitution (all state citizens get the privileges of the several states).

The freedom to use math is as much of a freedom as the freedom to use physics to move things with your hands (that is to say: pretty independent of what one would call a freedom from a legal perspective).

The freedom to secure your documents is also a freedom insofar as the constitution does not seem to grant the government a way to prevent you from doing so (10th amendment). But hey, there's been some creative applications of the commerce clause in the past.
Yeah, the use cases are pretty slim. Link to your app on a flyer or in a location I'm going to be interested in it is the one use case for QR codes I might have used multiple times, but in general that also is a sign of the inability to create a nice short-link instead.

Sometimes the apps are useful for barcodes that are already there:
I sometimes scanned ISBN codes on books that look interesting in the library or in stores, and used book sellers have apps where you simply scan the books you want to sell and get the price.

All in all, QR codes scanned with a phone are not that much nicer than typing something to be that valuable, even if you've found something I actually want to interact with. Start the app, find a position where the code is in the frame and the camera can focus, wait to focus, wait to decode the code and display the result, do something with it... takes quite a while as well. Normal barcode applications work so well because the scanning hardware/process is fast.

99% of the things that an OBD-II outputs(RPM, O2 sensor, timing, intake temp) just don't exist on a Tesla. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs there's about 3-4 that actually make sense.

The Model S costs $75k. The kind of people who think that's a reasonable price for a car absolutely can and will buy on a whim. They can also tide themselves over with a BMW or the like, not a beater.

Normal car-buying doesn't really apply when you're looking at a six-figure pricetag.
I must admit that Nano's keybinding capabilities are pretty limited compared to, for example, Atom's. For instance, you cannot use arrow, Tab, Esc keys or even Super or Shift as a modifier. Given the range of keys you can use, I honestly don't understand why they don't allow to use the mentioned keys. Probably their rc-parser is too straightforward and primitive.

Also, I wonder why they don't allow to define own keyboard macros for external commands on the buffer at any time, not just insertion.

But nevertheless, you still have just a decent text editor (with syntax highlighting) in the first place, not an OS inside an OS (like in Emacs or Atom), and not archaic controls for arrowless keyboards and useless rot13 plugins (like in Vim).

I'm not an active Java programmer but my exposure to the JDK has left me with the impression that it was more important to make it academically correct over practical. When I looked at the Java spec I thought to myself, "What the hell is this? This isn't the nasty Java I've been dealing with. This is actually fairly clean."

I spoke with a some people who were high up in Sun back in the day (direct reports to Scott McNealy high) who said the JDK mess happened after IBM "adopted" Java.

So whenever I hear of IBM embracing a new technology I shudder. I've been learning Swift and it seems quite nice but to hear IBM has decided to go all in on it makes me very, very worried. I haven't used Express in a few years but I can only imagine what they've done to it since.
