This is a sad truth that's a lot less flashy of a headline, so it's not surprising it's not covered. You're unlikely to see an article with the title: "People who buy stupid shit they don't need and can't afford shocked to find they are still broke".

Much easier to blame the lottery. Yes, poorer people like to buy lottery tickets. They want a chance to rise up and be rich, and there's really no other way most of them can ever do that.
Also another question, to do exactly the task you've done, where did you learn about it? Any specific courses or books?

Thanks
Encryption is a Luxury
I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy VR unless they have tons of extra money sitting around and know exactly what they're getting. And I pre-ordered the Oculus on day one. It's not for everyone. I think there are two kinds of people here -- people who have been waiting for this their whole lives, and people who should probably wait until it gets cheaper.

No, it's a weakness of developers who do something without knowing what they are doing. As I said, not everyone is like that.

It now does, with Vulkan.
To be fair to them they are not native English speakers. I would have an equally hard time (of not impossible) writing well written Japanese prose.
I assume you're trying to imply that it comes from the government. Fractional reserve banking started before central banks, and that extra $900 came from notes the bank printed out, which people would accept as payment for goods and serviced because the bank was reputable.

Since most of our money is digital nowadays, it would be even easier than in the past: the major banks could get together and just agree to tick up someone's account by X amount when another bank requests it. No government required.
The first touted feature of the projector is "Fully sealed design, efficient heat dissipation pathways". But more than that, its only $34. So essentially disposable.

I think the idea is neat but the bigger concern I have is that if I had one, it would cause me to linger in the shower wasting water and power (to heat that water) which might be scarce and expensive in some localities.

DevOps and the Role of Network Monitoring
I wonder how this device affects the eyes health. We have been taught to to stay to close to electronics and this is... right in the face!
I love the technology behind it. But it's going to bomb.

Here's why: Look at any picture of a person using the Oculus Rift. How does it make you feel? To me, the feeling I get is one of creeping anxiety and future shock. It looks like that person is withdrawn, isolated, sucked into a private world that we cannot access. And vulnerable too; unaware of their surroundings. If you want people to part with their money you have to make them feel engaged, optimistic and so forth. It's gonna bomb.
If it's just for internal use, why not close off external access or put an authentication layer "over" the application? I have my personal services protected with Basic Auth¹, it's just a matter of running a command to create the passwords file and adding two lines to your Nginx config.

¹ With HTTPS, of course, but that should be used anyway, to protect the app's own authentication.
The rewards are one. Granted, they're not huge (I also use Bing and find it amounts to about 1 $5 Amazon gift card per month), but if you find the result quality indistinguishable, it's enough. Also, like sremani, I want to drive innovation in the area of search, and while lots of people pay lip service to wanting more competition, putting your money where your mouth is by not using Google is the only real way to do that.

It is rather surprising if not outright shocking that experienced developer get heavily invested in a language when other mature/ better alternatives are there.
They serve different roles in my projects. Unit tests are intended to A) define and ensure adherence to a contract, a role which can also be partially (though not fully) fulfilled by strong and/or static typing in some languages; and B) as a harness to drive development while it is ongoing, which is a transient function, meaning those tests can be removed or consolidated after a development cycle.

Integration and functional tests, on the other hand, are long-lived tests intended to ensure that all the pieces stay glued together. They allow the middle parts of code to squiggle quite a bit, as long as they get to the same place at the end of the line. They allow for safe refactoring of modular units whose entire scope lies beneath the boundary of the test. And when the functionality of the application or library changes, they should change as well, but this should be an order or two of magnitude less frequent than the unit test level.

As a rule of thumb, I put integration tests around any piece of functionality that "makes me money"—less literally, around any bit that, if it were broken, would prevent things like user signups, users paying the correct amount, or critical functionality that is indispensible to a user of the software. Likewise, I usually write unit tests when i'm writing new modules so that I don't have to keep reloading a browser or setting up complex data schemes while they're in development. Sometimes I remove those, especially for code that is low-churn (which is a totally under-appreciated metric to look at when you're figuring out where you should focus coverage, IMHO.)

Both types are important necessary. And not all of them are destined to live forever.
> "Personally, I prefer a government that lets people do stupid things"

What an ignorant statement to make. Are you okay with people making "stupid decisions" like smoking in public places ?

Are you okay with people making "stupid decisions" like driving drunk ?

Are you okay with people making "stupid decisions" like shooting up a school ?

Society works when we look out for each other - and not let people do whatever they think is "right".
Ran well? Pixel count only went up 25% for the CV1, but Oculus and Valve are both pretty set on consistent 90 FPS as the performance you need to make it convincing and less likely to make users hurl on their keyboards.

IIRC the actual rendering resolution is even higher than the screen's so that it can go through its distortion for optics to a final image without upscaling anything, so consider me very skeptical of an integrated GPU handling it satisfactorily.

I say this as the owner of a 2011 MacBook Air (Intel HD 3000), which definitely can't maintain 60 FPS in modern games at its native 1440x900 resolution (half the pixels of a Rift) even with the other settings turned all the way down.
Clone when used in this sense doesn't mean copying. Copying pretty much means re-using the exact same source, like literally copy and pasted. A clone is just something that does the same thing as something else. I'm not saying GitBucket didn't copy or take code, I'm just saying that calling something a clone doesn't usually convey that they took code, it's just that they're very similar in what they do as another thing. You could say Gitlab is a GitHub clone but it doesn't look anything like GitHub (although it did at one time).
Was this DK1, DK2, CV1, or one of the internal prototypes. Because the experience of using the later ones vastly exceeds DK1 & 2. Also, you have to be doing the right experience. Many things suck in VR, but the right one (like TiltBrush or The Walk) is mindblowing
It's not. The CSS is copyrightable, but there's absolutely nothing from stopping another site from copying the design. The Github logo is probably trademarked and a competitor could not use that or any similar trademark, but that's a different issue.
"When you play the lottery, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But it's better than using drugs or alcohol because when you use drugs or alcohol, you always lose" - "American Movie"

People who don't play the lottery are always so quick to dismiss it. They disregard how accessible it is - you don't need a next-gen console or flat-screen tv, just cash - as they disregard how independently fun it is - you could be sitting alone in a dark room with nothing but a lottery ticket in your hand and be perfectly satisfied with fantasies of winning. It's like discussing guns with people who will never use them.

Let's not get too carried away by sensationalism and look at this from a bird's-eye view: lotteries are great sources of revenue (better than state corporate income taxes? Holy cow!), they are low-health-risk (someone may need treatment for gambling addiction but it never hurts their lungs or livers), and they are easy to scale up and down.

If the regressive-tax-on-the-poor argument is too convincing for you to resist, then here's a solution: register lottery purchases so you can only buy $X in lottery tickets based on your $Y income. Just don't come crying to me when the state comes for your income and property taxes to make up the difference...

We're on 8.1 I think. We are running a largeish C# project with largeish diffs; when I click "merge" the app spins for a good few seconds or more before completing the merge. Don't think I've ever seen that sort of delay on github. I wonder if you could pre-merge in a separate system branch then do some git magic to rearrange them once the user actually clicks merge?
I was going to make a similar comment (i.e. lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math) but I don't think that's entirely the case. My feeling is that it's more about desperation than calculation.
I can also recommend the WeMos D1 mini, it's the best I've seen so far.
While I agree it does prey on tne poor, I don't agree that they don't necessarily understand basic math. While the expected value of a lottery ticket may be worth less than the cost to purchase, it still might make sense to purchase.
> his sort of debate is a big part of the success of a country like the US

The problem with your statements is that the US has a Constitution, which explicitly restricts the actions that the federal government may take. The endless debate witnessed today in the United States is only evidence towards the fact that our government no longer leverages a respect for its own legal documents. This ends up making the battle unwinnable by either side, because while the one side argues with totally true technological facts, the other side argues in the domain of senseless rhetoric. Meanwhile, neither side is making the concrete legal argument that the Constitution forbids the FBI's desires outright - except for Apple themselves. Many of Apple's own defenders have verged into the territory of "but this is math and you have to accept it!" which only distracts from the much more horrifying disregard for common sense these politicians are displaying today.

This is not a battle of mathematics - politicians should not need to leverage any knowledge of encryption to know that coercing a corporation into destroying its product's security apparatus is both unethical and illegal.

> The US and its underlying political system has possibly created more value than any society in the history of the world.

Apple, today, has done a lot more to bring value to the world than any of the politicians in DC have, today. Perhaps you could make such a fallacious argument about some of our better times of politics - but not today. Today's government has bumbling fools like Lindsay Graham and Joe Biden in leadership positions.
You severely underestimate the number of people who'd love to be one step closer to their waifu/husbando or at least one step further away from reality.

What makes you think only software engineers use Github?
An early adopter is someone who wants something enough to actually acquire it. The middle market is full of people who want things earlier but spend their time and money elsewhere. To be cutting-edge it's not enough to just know about something and like the idea.

This does mean that early adopters tend to have more discretionary income. It is unfortunate, but unavoidable.
Exactly what I came to say. I'm not a gambler, but the idea of making gambling illegal seems insane to me in "the land of the free".
Doesn't sound like cbhl is missing anything. You think it should be cheaper, others think tech this new should be even better and cost more. You just don't fit the early adopter group; wanting it doesn't make you an early adopter. You need to be willing to pay a lot more to be in that group.
It's not particularly dangerous. If you can jumpstart a car, you can do this.

The key is to remember that laptop batteries are rarely produced by people with actual battery expertise. Instead, they string together a certain number of (usually) AA-sized battery cells to produce the appropriate voltage and put that in a custom case.

Crack open the case, read the numbers, order replacement cells, swap, check with a voltmeter, close it up and try it out.
Not really. The lottery is split up among the winners. When there is a big pot, you get proportionally more people playing the lotto. So, the expected payout to one individual actually drops as the payout rises.

I have a mental tool that I rely on to help avoiding indulgence in silly thoughts. I want to share it, but it sounds kind of harsh, so I want to make sure that I am forcefully communicating the spirit of it's intention. It's a tool that helps me- not a judgement of your comment.

"If" is for children.

The scenario you are describing is a hypothetical which is not based on the state of software development today. We are not likely to be dealing with the ability to build an unbreakable phone any time soon. We are certainly dealing with the condition of failure- companies can't seem to keep data secret, even when they want to.

Your question is built on a flawed premise. Show me a way to reliably constrain a developer so that when they compile, the data you want to keep secret reliably stays secret, and then I'll be happy to indulge in this scenario. For now, we are just too shitty at developing bug free, let alone secure software.

Overall i'm not agree with statement, but what he was talking about is that Windows drivers have tons of hacks to optimize certain D3D code paths that used by most games and sometimes even fully replace whole shaders with GPU vendor one.

We've moved to Docker Compose for local Python (Django) development.

Oftentimes when you need package management (pip) and multiple environments (virtualenv) you likely also have several services necessary for your projects (Python, Postgres, Nginx, Celery, et al.) and it can be easier for your team to run `docker-compose up` and have the whole stack running in lieu of setting up services manually and then initializing a virtual environment.

I much prefer taking the time to setup Docker Compose even for a simple project. I don't have to initialize a virtual environment, install packages, make sure the DB is running, sync with the DB, run the web server, etc. All of that work becomes automatic and I can focus on development instead sysadmin stuff.
For everyday software this is fair, but is software made FOR DEVELOPERS. All things being equal between two solutions, I am going to take the one implemented technology I know and can hack on easier.

Also, many of the most popular solutions in this space are written in what some people would call "low performance languages", since the author here is using a "high performance language", its just good marketing too.
> Perhaps another approach to this would be to lobby that all government encryption, including military, be key escrowed so that the populus could review the communication in the future

It's not practical. Terrorists would just use the free encryption software that doesn't use escrowed keys. They're the fish we want to fry the most and they will be the first to not use whatever the US government tries to manipulate.

What's new in mrjob v0.5.0
The $900 comes from trust. If I'm a highly respected and wealthy individual in a 18th century village, I could conceivably issue my own notes about my promise to pay the recipient. If someone comes to me for a loan, I could issue a number of these notes to that individual, and anyone else in the village that trusts my ability and likelihood to pay might be willing to take those notes. I have just demonstrated my ability to lend money with no reserve, since I have not demonstrated my finances, people have taken it on reputation and trust. This will work for as long as I'm both mostly restricting my loans to people that will pay back, and not too many people try to redeem the notes at once. This is possible without a government, so the government is not responsible for allowing this, they are putting some restraints on how much of the money I have on hand I can leverage in this manner, so they are regulating it.
One could make the argument that there's a difference between letting people do stupid things that only indirectly and only in certain contexts hurt others (ex spending the rent money on lottery tickets) and letting people do stupid things that by definition hurt others (shooting up a school, smoking in public and populated places) or have a significant liklihood of harming others (driving drunk).

Of course this is always an awkward line to walk, and the definition of stupid is entirely subjective. Most things that make people happy aren't totally "rational".

You completely ignored the bit where they said that the government's there to prevent negative externalities, like shootings, etc.

To say that the government's job is to prevent us from making stupid choices is absurd. At that point, you may as well make cheeseburgers and fries illegal, and tax whole milk. `

Then neither does buying a movie ticket make sense. Of course it doesn't make sense if you frame it as an investment. But people don't necessarily buy lottery tickets expecting to win and more than you or I sit down at a slot machine expecting to walk away with more money than we arrived with. They buy them as entertainment or a reason to hope or dream for a few days.
But interesting =/= useful, most of the time.

Isn't that like the old "finish your vegetables, there are starving children in Africa" adage? Just because there's a water shortage in Peru doesn't mean that it makes any given sense for you to skimp on your water usage.

The nail in the coffin of the tobacco industry wasn’t “cigarettes are unhealthy,” it was that the tobacco industry was actively deceiving the public and obfuscating scientific research over multiple generations.

(When the sugar industry follows step (this seems inevitable), it will because they failed to police themselves with candid acknowledgement that soda should be a treat and not a dietary staple. Perhaps the Bloomberg soda ban was a bad idea and heavy-handed mommy gov't etc, but if the soda companies had an iota of sense they would have pre-empted the whole mess.)

So getting back to lottery… let’s agree that it is okay for people to act as they wish, but is it acceptable for lottery to misrepresent the astronomically low chances of even breaking even? Is it acceptable for lottery to specifically market toward people who can least afford it?
The point of "run anywhere" is to not have to search for a special operating system.
I game on Linux. Haven't touched a Windows PC for gaming in about 5 years.

It's true many games underperform in Linux, and I don't play the latest AAA games, so that helps. Still, many games are very playable. I've played and enjoyed Portal 2, L4D2, Insurgency, and of course many platformers and indie games on Linux, so the situation isn't that dire. I own a large collection of Linux games from Steam, Humble Bundle and GOG.

It's possible Linux is still not ready for the Oculus, but it's not hard to use it as a gaming platform either. I repeat, the situation is not that dire.
