Some background from the ACLU of New Mexico, which filed this suit: https://www.aclu-nm.org/aclu-of-texas-and-new-mexico-sue-fed...

I tried to find an update on this case (originally filed in 2013) and only found this 2015 ruling on the defendants' motion for protective order: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/texas/tx...
There seems to be a lot of conspiracy theories going on, on what I personally believe to be a really straight forward and logical reaction.

From my perspective, "Bash on Windows" is a reaction to the wide adoption of OSX for development (In particularly web development seemed to have a mass migration).

For obligatory anecdote:

I'm a longtime and loyal Windows user. Windows has been my primary development platform even though parts or all of our stack ran on some flavor of -nix. I've always encouraged my team to do the same, primary motivated by the better UX on Windows.

But, like many in the past few years, I jumped the OSX bandwagon and moved the entire department over. This wasn't a fun transition, and came with many pains.
But ultimately it was a necessary transition as the tools we needed just weren't supported on Windows.

Development became more complex, tooling became mandatory at every stage of development and only OSX offered us a reasonable balance between a -nix-like environment that ran the tools with decent UX.

Microsoft's move to bring Bash to Windows will likely motivate me to migrate back in due time.

While some may be spinning conspiracy theories, I'm personally just really glad Microsoft is moving in this direction.
Now your PC malware can infect your mobile device. Wheee!

Microsoft is usually pretty good at modeling security threats these days. I'm surprised they did this, it's a bad idea.
For those interested, this case seems to Still be ongoing since 2013...

The part I find especially interesting is that there are probably literally thousands of games that get into more-or-less-working prototypes, the project gets cancelled for any number of reasons, and the game sits on a hard drive until it crashes, and is lost for forever.
6 non-technical skills you need to work remotely

What sucks the most about Linkedin? Why do you still go there? What's your biggest challenge in the recruiting process?
In theory true, but in practice, the difference between being unable to work and unable to be hired due to ageism is very small.

If, for example, you're unhirable over 50 for all practical purposes, even if you can do the work until you're 70, its somewhat cruel to use that as a justification to raise the retirement age to 70.

There are stamina issues to consider. My grandmother liked knitting; in theory her retirement age should have been 85 because she was knitting until at least then when the arthritis hit too hard, but in practice she wouldn't live thru a single 12 hour shift at a textile mill, not that it matters because almost all the jobs are gone, and what very few remain would not go to an 85 year old woman. Likewise I am a pretty good software dev but I don't think I could produce under subpar conditions like an open office; its not that I can't program, its that I can't program there.
I'm very sorry to hear about your friend.

JavaScript Pandora's Box
Why does the argument always go to Veblen goods (Yachts etc...) in this discussion rather than exactly what I indicate - health, wellness, options, access etc...?

Edge cases are the ones that make or break people. Holding aside the argument for socialized or egalitarian healthcare, it's undeniable that major events in someone's life (major illness, accident, death, foreclosure etc...) are a primary factor for decrease in happiness. Since it's also undeniable that money can offset or augment the impact of these events - it is very relevant to take those into account.

Said another way, everyone will eventually have an "edge case" irrespective of whether it is liver cancer or otherwise. Having means to ease the troubles related to those cases, have a direct effect on how badly they are felt.

> Instead of just reading both blocks again, which is what a compiler would do.

We have better compilers than that already. If you have a static data flow, there's no reason your compiler can not take it into account when optimizing your code.

Optimizing a dynamic data flow is the hard one (still possible, but not done in practice), but people suck at this too.
Sorry but you really sound as if you have no idea what you are talking about.

What makes one experience real and another not real?

You have no idea what someone else is experiencing (you can observer their reaction to it, but you have no idea about the actual experience) so I don't know how you can dismiss one as real and another as not real.
>I'm by no means anti-nuclear, though watching Fukushima unfold showed me a reality I hadn't fully thought out.

The even worse reality is the government, contractors and everybody else involved repeatedly caught lying about it -- plus all the human errors in judgment and engineering involved leading to this.

And it's a huge industry which can employ a lot of researchers to lie with selective statistics, and sell the evergreen "newer models will be different this time, really".
Unfortunately ageing doesn't tend to be 'some years tacked on the end', it tends to be literally getting older at a different rate.

So some 40 year-olds are physically 30, and other 40 year-olds are physically 55. (going by length of telomeres, physical fitness, etc etc). So these people that die earlier have a shorted 'prime of their life' as well.
In the USA police are not obligated to do anything really. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columb...

1) I said that a difference in values (due to location / population distribution / history ???) made them reason differently, not that they were actually stupid.

2) I also meant to highlight "some do, some don't" by saying "perhaps 51%". Perhaps 51% is even too high, maybe it's just a vocal minority.

3) By calling them (in quotes) "those people" and "other" I was alluding to a certain amount of xenophobia on the part of coastal dwellers when considering fly-over dwellers. And yes, that cuts both ways.
You're cherry picking medical issues & care, which will not solve an issue as big as this.

The only way that it affects you it's because Go programs can be compiled to a static binary. So from the final user perspective you just download it and put the executable in your path.

Contrast with Python, Node, Ruby... apps where you have to install via Pip, NPM, Gems.

But the real answer it's that Go is in the top of the hype curve right now (I say this as a Go fan myself).
By running an exit node, you open yourself up to all sorts of legal actions

Last time I checked Microsoft was threatening Android phone makers with patents, many of those being related to Linux itself, collecting billions in patent royalties, being in essence a patents troll for the whole mobile industry. From where I'm standing, this seems no different than the Microsoft that funded the SCO lawsuit or that has spread FUD about Linux and open-source for years.

So do tell me, how did Microsoft change?
I really don't see what the problem is here.

All those outliers and special cases factor into the average – that's the point of an average.
"The hospital said it will pay $125,000, its insurance carrier $475,000 and Texas Tech University, which operates a medical school campus at the hospital, $500,000."

If I understand correctly, this means the hospital and affiliated entities have settled for a total of $1.1M. AFAICT the CBP & agents are still defending.

The only appreciable release of radiation was a result of the Soviets playing fast and loose with shoddy infrastructure followed by higher ups attempting to rectify the situation by burying their heads in the sand is good enough for me.

Compared to oil spills ("oops, we grounded our tanker") and dam failures ("maintenance, lolwut?") a lot of different things needed to come together for the Chernobyl disaster to happen and the runners up, (3-mile, Fukushima) are downright benign by comparison.

As long as we don't get complacent and half-ass things I have no problem with nuclear power.
Thank you for the insight. I wonder, how do we know the males were infertile?

And yet they still extort companies with their secret Android "patents". Perhaps people will treat them differently when they start acting like it. Nadella is getting there, but still has a lot of work ahead of him before hardcore Linux people (like myself) really trust the motives.
You are correct, however given the prognosis and remedy it would seem that she and Jobs both had an opportunity to remedy some or all of their conditions through the same process.
And that's good and fine, on the civil side in the specific suit against the hospital.

Unfortunately, there are some criminal statutes that appear to have been violated by all concerned and some professional medical codes that have been violated by individual doctors; There is tampering with federal evidence (prompting the dog) in order to falsify probable cause. There is also the matter of precedential rulings associated with the guidance given border control officers on how far to go.

Of five matters of concern, the least pressing to us has been settled out of court without the benefit of an enjoiner against future repetition of the abuses by the hospital (in re: rules that permit participation in a kidnapping and rape of a captive). My expectation is that a $1M reward is not especially protective to the rest of us, when it's our turn to be kidnapped and raped as some kind of practice exercise of authority. I am less worried about the hospital than the men with guns and dogs, however the fact that the hospital has a goddamned specialized billing procedure associated with torture of unwilling captives of a rogue federal agency worries me.

Justice has not been done yet; Generally by my limited understanding a Bivens Action is only filed when justice is limited in availability by a whole arm of the government who are denying any wrongdoing and prosecutors who are refusing to operate in accordance with their duties to the people.

Good designs can't fix faulty construction and poor maintenance. France has a long history of success with nuclear power, but using the exact same designs in Afghanistan would be begging for problems.

Further, we really don't have a good solution for nuclear waste.

It should be fine. The problem is more likely that your stack isn't put together very well. Don't throw more hardware/dollars at it, refine your stack.
Could you be more specific about "everything"?
The idea they are talking about is most like the scenario where malware throws up a fake BSOD with its own QR code.

The user then scans the QR code to open a link to the microsoft website with more details about the BSOD.

Except the QR code is fake and it opens a page that is targeted to infect your phone/tablet.

Now 2 devices are infected. Yay

No. The idea would be to never actually burn the wood, just heat it up enough to release gases, and burn the gases in a generator. These could be (are?) run at power plants.

willismichael pointed out that efficient biomass gasifiers will then burn the resulting charcoal, which releases quite a bit of CO2. I suggested using the charcoal as fertilizer, instead of burning it.

Thankfully, we understand the physics a lot better now. The failure states for modern reactors are safe states. We've basically planned things so that if they do fail, they turn off.
Can't you just create QR code that goes to a site that tells you "Your PC broke, to fix it install this software" or something... Then just rely on less experienced users thinking the faked BSOD is real.

In case of Go projects it means that I'll get a single binary that also runs fast and the application is available on multiple platforms. I love portable apps, so any project written in Go spikes my interest. Likewise, if it's Java project, I'm likely to skip that.
Arq, (For backups to AWS - though obviously supports every cloud back end under the sun) and "Data Backup" by ProSoft engineering (For backups to USB) are my goto backup tools for day-day ensuring all my work documents are kept up to date.

Yes, I have Crashplan (for the last couple years, backblaze for the three years before that) - but the constant chewing up of CPU cycles gets annoying after a while. And both crashplan/backblaze "everything for $5" come with massive caveats (like deleting backups of Hard Drives that haven't been plugged in for 6 months - I've got Arq Backups of Hard Drives that I haven't plugged in for a couple years, safe and sound) - and I've never had an AWS backup bill in excess of $3.00, ARQ does a wicked good job of keeping your backups on a tight budget.

Also - awesome win for ARQ - when I moved to Singapore, I simply added a AWS Singapore S3 Bucket and wowza - fast backups on my gigabit ($49/month) link from MyRepublic. Really feel like I'm living in the future.

I think once I switch away from Aperture over to Photos, which presumably has a rock solid backup to iCloud photos, then simply doing a quarterly backup or so with CarbonCopyCloner + Arq to AWS + DataBackup to USB key will have my OS X backups covered.

In theory I might agree with you. In practice a lot of 'safe' designs for a wide range of things have failed.

For a single reactor in a single location the odds might be very good. But, build a few thousand and the odds get worse.

What happens if there is no power for months. What happens if an earthquake causes a reactor end up on it's side? What happens if there is a mistake while refueling? What about active sabotage? What if someone messes up in construction? How about a dam breaking causing massive wave?

What about a combo of all of the above?
The Fashion section attracted at least twice the proportion of blocked comments as any other section. Not exactly a section I'd associate with (presumably sexist and racist) straight white men.

Talk to an attorney familiar with the industry. Perhaps file a patent.

If that doesn't seem like a good investment right now, lawyering up when someone violates the terms of whatever "idea protection" document gets cooked up is not a better investment.

I've come to agree with the common wisdom that improving execution is better than protecting an idea. For a customer adopting an existing implementation is faster than building something in house. On the other hand, implementing an idea in house may be faster than relying on an external company.
