I'm surprised a lot of people are recommending the X1 Carbon, with little mention of the T-series. The T-series is a favorite among a lot of people I know, and the T460s is very similar to the X1 Carbon, offering a WQHD screen, similar internals, similar battery life, at a lower price point. It's just slightly heavier, but it also has a port for a docking station which the X1 Carbon does not have, if I recall correctly.

For a more low-budget option the Lenovo L-series thinkpads are also pretty cool.
your argument is to weaken and possible kill 100 small units.

while Yahoo is now killing itself by having divisions fight for the same money, your argument will only make them die faster. as they will lose their only advantage.

what they need to do is to see the profit as a whole.

it's peanut butter manifest STILL.

another example is how the team showing native ads (click bait ads disguised as news items) is making a killing... buy they don't realise it is the exact money that left their regular ad business while costing them 1. maintaining yet another ad platform and sales 2. driving away users with words ads.

in the end, they probably gave lots of bonuses to the team in the new product that is making them lose money, and probably layd off a few people in the old ad business that's would keep giving them the exact same money without the new costs.
Second the request for comparison to Vertica. I've recentishly become a user at work, and I wonder how this compares. A quick googling didn't yield anything too informative.
> If your dependency tree sucks, that's a personal problem

What about the fact that React and other popular projects have apparently bought into this ecosystem? You can't use them without also using their dependency tree.
This comment demonstrates that you do not have any criticism at all regarding this project. While reading it I could only think of Visual Source Safe and Git, which I believe counters your entire premise.
This shows that the ultimate test for AI is if it can be taught empathy and if it can understand the effect of what it says(does). I bet it would get caught in an infinite loop of "does this hurt X?" alter input "does it hurt X? No. Does it hurt Y?" and so on.
How is that subjective? Not being a smartass here, I just see that there's a pretty clear distinction between "advice on pure legal matters" and advice on "how to discourage" union formation.

It's like the difference between a political campaign's counsel and it's campaign consultants. Or the difference between a corporations general counsel and its PR department.

Now of course, people will try to get around this, but that's true of any law. Just because we outlaw murder doesn't mean there are no murderers.
FWIW, prezto is an oh-my-zsh fork and a lot of effort and discussion went into it before it was decided that there should be a fork:

I have to agree the XPS 13 is perfect for linux. I have been using the XPS 13 9333 for about 3 years now. I run debian, 7 but now 8, and it just works for most things. I had to install the firmware for the wireless card but that was simple enough.
I just got the new XPS 13 9350 a couple of months ago and am using that daily running Debian 8. I had to add the firmware for the wireless, base broadcom controller, and it works great. USB-c works well too. I also have the Dell TB15 thunderbolt 3 dock but that does not work unfortunately. Once the thunderbolt 3 drivers for the dock are working I will have the prefect laptop. Right now I have to manually connect montitor/keyboard/power. Once the dock works its one cable to plug in at the office.

There are lots of posts on the dell forums with steps to get linux installed on the XPS. The current developer edition is not supported on the latest hardware, 9350. Once the thunderbolt drivers are done they are supposed to release a new developer edition with Ubuntu. The dell Sputnik team posts on the forums regularly so you can stay up to date on the progress. They are fostering a very good community for linux enthusiast.
Couldn't a hypothetical Big Alien make exactly the same argument? There are plenty of exoplanets larger than Earth.

What is the filesystem engine? Is it just something fancy on top of NFS, or something completely new?
It doesn't.

AGPL means the only people using it have to licensed the same.
I disagree. I think it has worked out quite well. Nowadays nobody has to write basic data structures or algorithms themselves. Unfortunately, the hard part of building software that is useful to today's businesses is not sorting lists or storing dictionaries.

But remember that things like computing a KWIC index used to be real problems back in the day that required serious programmer work. They have become trivial thanks to better libraries and better computers.
Rent is much more closely tied to median income than purchase prices. I live in Vancouver and people I know who own homes are either older people that got into the market when it was affordable, or younger couples where both have jobs and pay a significant amount of their salary to mortgage interest. Usually they were only able to buy because their parents are sitting on hundreds of thousands of equity in their homes and lend them a deposit.

People buying here are doing so because they feel like the prices will just continue rising, so they sacrifice a lot now rather than a lot more later.

On the other hand renting feels like dead money so people won't stretch as much.
Feeling the pain here too. What DNS providers do others use and like? Route53?
The simple fact is that we have one example of a biosphere: Earth. You can't say much of anything meaningful from a sample size of one. We have no idea what aliens could be like, how many there might be, etc. until we either go find some or some (or their signals) come here.
Thank you! I didn't mean to come across as overly critical, but I really think it is a much nicer reading experience now. Very cool that you considered my criticism :)
Are there any limitations you have run into?
E.g. can you still use all index types that Postgres offers or are there any special distributed index types that CitusDB adds perhaps?
This is awesome. Props to you all.

Good article even though I don't agree with all the conclusions.

I find a good way to think about things is that every single dependency you have adds another set of people you have to trust.

You're trusting the competence of the developer (i.e. that the library has no security flaws), you're trusting their intent (i.e. that they don't deliberately put malicious code into the library) and you're trusting their Operational Security practices (i.e. that their systems don't get compromised, leading to loss of control of their libraries).

Now when you think about how little you know about most of the owners of libraries you use, you can see possibility for concern.

The bit I disagree with the article about is signing. I personally think that developer signing is a useful part of this as it takes the repository owner out of the trust picture (if done correctly). Without it you're also trusting the three items above for the repository provider and it's worth noting that a large software repo. is a very tempting target for quite a few well funded attackers.

Docker at least has provided some of the technical pieces to address this in their repositories with content trust...
Thank you - that did the job.
It's something new.
>No matter what degree of variability is chosen, alien planets are very unlikely to be much larger than the Earth. To be specific, we can say with 95% confidence that another planet with intelligent life, such as our nearest neighbour, will have a circumference no more than 20% greater than that of the Earth.

Huh? I see no justification for this.

I'm firmly in the "We know nothing about aliens and won't until we get some hard data" camp.

Alien life will, by definition, be alien. We have no basis for assuming it's even going to be recognisable as life.

Life essentially seems to be a persistent self-reproducing dissipative structure that responds to evolutionary pressure. There is nothing in the manual that requires liquid water, gravity, a planetary surface, carbon, or any of the other ingredients that define life on Earth.
It all just seems too perfect to me. Maybe he's just throwing us a few bones to shut us up? It's just so hard for me to believe that someone who made a career pulling favors for those people would be able to just completely cut ties. I mean, what reason does he have to do that? The goodness of his heart? His sense of duty? Call me jaded, but those explanations make me want to laugh out loud when I think of all the billions of dollars in the mix.

I'm running Arch on my Pixel 2015 LS.

Regarding HiDPI: Gnome 3 and Cinnamon both work very well. I don't use many apps besides gnome-terminal, chrome, virtualbox, emacs, skype, and banshee. Except for Skype and Emacs, all of those worked with HiDPI out of the box. For Emacs, I just increased my font size. The skype buddy list is really small. I haven't investigated really changing it because I use it infrequently and it is still legible.

There has been huge variance in the build quality of the 2015 Pixels. I've had several RMA'd due to squirrelly disk controllers/flash devices failing (and disappearing from dmesg). There are common reports on the Google+ group of the keyboard rattling as well.

They are really nice machines when they work. The keyboard is great. The trackpad is great. The screen is gorgeous. The camera is good. Speakers are loud. Microphones are clear. The expansion is decent with 2 USB 3.1 Type C and 2 USB 3 Type A and an SD reader (unfortunate that the SD reader is USB2 and not USB3, due to all of the USB3 ports being exposed externally). The disk is undersized at 64GB, but acceptable for me to allow mobile development (This isn't a docker-friendly machine if that's your thing).
Where I work we use Rotue53. For my personal domains I just use my registrar, Namecheap.
I in-place upgraded three computers to Windows 10. All three had serious problems with the upgrade. On one the graphics became slow because it had Intel HD 3000 which apparently doesn't work well in Windows 10. On another the monitor would not turn on when resuming from sleep. On the third, the entire installation screwed up and required a wholesale reinstallation.

Those were one HP, one Lenovo, and one homegrown PC. So don't blame it on Dell.
No .. it means any changes you make to CitusDB should be made public.

I'm not the commenter, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in this context, "Government of Canada" did also mean "the people of Canada".

It's not as solid of a distinction outside the U.S. where there is so much anti-government "them vs. us" mentality (rightly or wrongly).

If I say "the Government of Canada wants to legalize marijuana", it's generally safe to assume that is the will of the people unless evidence is presented to the contrary.

Of course, the government can and does occasionally go against the will of the people but that's more the exception than the rule.
My comment seems very controversial. Got a lot of up and down votes. Allow me to comment on myself. What I wanted to say was that whatever MS did with their bot, they didn't succeed in training it to differentiate right and wrong.
No, it means if you make changes to the code and use it over a network you have to be AGPL too (think "network" as "distribution" in the GPL sense).
It's not hard, the problem is everything relies on DNS so when DNS goes down or has problems you have cascading failure.

>It's not javascript devs fault that the standard library is so piss poor you need these short code snippets and I've definitely included small 5-10 line packages via npm or other package managers rather than roll my own because it's likely they have bug fixes I haven't considered.

Correct, it's the fault of the devs who prioritize their ego and feeling trendy over the practicalities of software design. JavaScript is not a good platform for Real Work(TM). The fact that the stdlib is tiny and such basic functions have to be imported from some random guy's library is a testament to this fact.

Personally I can't wait for the JS-everywhere fad to die out.
Same here, great experience with Linux on UX305FA. I switched to multi-boot setup, shrinking Windows partition and giving Ubuntu 14.04 half of the 256GB SSD. Switched window manager to i3, which is excellent, can't imagine going back to floating windows after i3. UX305FA is supposed to be a relatively slow processor, but most everything seems snappy to me, and power handling is excellent (with TLP package).

Also, UX305FA is fanless. I love having no fan, hope to never again have a laptop with a fan.
I can't decide what's crazier to me: that such a package exists, or that JavaScript is such a ridiculously bad language that an "is positive integer" function is non-trivial to write.
I do get the knot. My gut feeling would be that the definition of an individual in this case is "an entity that is capable of independent thought". So if all our thoughts as a species were perfectly in sync (borg-style), we would count as a species of population 1. Because of cultural exchange, one would probably have to count us as a species of effective size less than that of the actual population size.
I guess if you can crack these, then you're more competent than the current guard you'll be asked to replace and won't be asked to compel companies to write code without pay to breach their own security systems... so perhaps you'd be doing the world a favour by becoming an underpaid cyber security expert working for peanuts at one of the world's premier intelligence gathering agencies without needing to ask for sweeping surveillance rights that are a gross breach of everyone's right to privacy - which there are laws set in place to protect, unless you're the Government, in which case, the law doesn't apply to you. ;)
Probably because they use the package itself?
Same. They've been pretty reliable. Hoping this doesn't last long or we'll be looking to move off.

> White folks were forced to move away because their kids might go to school with black kids?

It's really, really unfortunate that race is a proxy for class in America. It's a natural and IMHO good human tendency for folks to want to be around others of their own class; the problem is that in America race and class are so conflated that one gets this horrible self-reinforcing racist spiral, which is unfair to blacks and poisonous to whites. And race isn't even all that good of a proxy for class, but due to the aforementioned self-reinforcing racist hate spiral it has been extraordinarily difficult to eliminate.
Proposal for Anti-Keystroke Fingerprinting at the Display Server Level
I don't Armin would disagree with you. The problem here is the sheer number of micromodules developed under different banners that would be better suited to be part of a larger coherent effort like lodash, and all the problems that come with having such functionality spread across so many micropackages with many separate maintainers.

Dependencies aren't bad in and of themselves, but when you've lots of tiny dependencies, the costs mount rapidly.
> And I think most of us agree that it is good that it is illegal, because we know that it is unfair to show bias against a person based on the color of their skin.

That's not the reason. The reason is that correlation is weak.

Think about it: people with down syndrome are genetically different others. So are people of different races. But when people with down syndrome are supposed to have lower then average intelligence, no one is offended by it, because the correlation is there, and it's strong.

Meanwhile, all statistical comparisons of different races shown results with very low significance.

I find it's useful to think in terms of colors or shapes for data. User input shows up RED and gets massaged to be safe. Sometimes a UI gets some data added, or chunks broken off as things flow though the program. The shape can be either how it's shown to the user, how an objects variables are defined, or just some random thing if I have yet to start coding.

You can think of bits as coins HTHTT vs 10100, and enumerated types as gears.

You have to really like docker to go thru all the setup. I did it but I can see why my coworkers didn't.
I'm pretty sure that was a joke. :)
but you are objectively wrong though. death by gun violence with hispanic/black offenders outpaces their white counter parts.

and only someone blindly pushing an agenda would say they would rather live in most areas of chicago/detroit/flint then texas.

to put it in perspective Wyoming is mostly white(92.7%) with a gun ownership rate of 59.7%, the gun murder rate per 100,000 people is a nationwide bottom 10 at 0.9 per 100,000, compare that to basically any other state and you will realize how absurd what you said was.

What area of 'cybersecurity' would I be finding myself breaking substitution ciphers based on wingdings in?

I work in the information security industry, and I feel like I'm missing something but I really have to ask what these are relevant to.

Cryptography, which this appears to be a reduced form of is mostly tangential and very nuanced relative to the ciphers in this challenge. I often feel my line of work is grossly misrepresented by dizzying fields of esoteric numbers and references to ancient cryptography when I'm happy to find myself many of my days engrossed in the security characteristics of some powerful technology used right now in the real world.

I moved from engineering to security, but if this was my only interaction with security, I'm not sure I'd have been interested.

Edit: if you're interested in real crypto challenges, try http://cryptopals.com/ and read Cryptography Engineering, which is a wonderful read that goes over not only the cryptography but also the principles common across the many specialisations of the infosec industry
The point is that it's easy to pad a string in C and easy to pad a string in JS but there's no specific function called 'padstring' in either.

They're basically talking about social engineering. AFAIK, they used the CIA to funnel in cocaine, etc... to minority neighborhoods, then applied social engineering, adverts, and glorified drug abuse.

Not saying you can't find someone just developers need to do a lot of upfront work and then it gets done and now its time for your part and you try a little and give up. We can dream by ourselves.

The extrapolation from the size distribution of Earth creatures was only used to estimate a specific size (polar bear sized) for a randomly selected alien species. The expectation that they are bigger than us, by an unknown size, only depends on bigger creatures having smaller populations on average, which seems a safe assumption.
Why? The "jokes" were clearly in bad taste, and meant to belittle women.
