One can make a commercial game title with C and SDL.

Case in point: Star Control 2, a commercial title with a cult following, which had subsequently been open sourced, then modified to use SDL. Still works all the way from Windows through mobile phones to Solaris, thanks to portable C and the SDL library, and is an excellent game to boot. Original ran on DOS and the 3DO gaming console.

First time buyers generally base their choices on the opinions and views of more experienced people, often within their circle of friends, family and acquaintances. It is quite conceivable that a first time buyer is making their choice because of the vendor lock-in of their peers.
I meant first time Apple buyers which includes both people who've never had phones and people who've switched. Apple's first time customer base is still significant.

I might believe you if you said the US, but given how low iPhone penetration is outside the US, combined with how many new people use the Internet for the first time each day in India alone (100,000,000 per year, most of that being accessed over a mobile device), it's clear that smartphones haven't hit 100% potential market penetration the way "food" has.

Faraday cages do not block all signals. From wikipedia:

> A common misconception is that a Faraday cage provides full blockage or attenuation, this is not true. The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage. However, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency or distance from receiver. Near field High powered frequency transmissions like HF RFID are more likely to penetrate. Solid steel cages provide better attenuation over mesh cages.
Disagree. For starters it's clear the traditional (legacy?) RDMS community has yet to come to terms with the realities of the CAP theorem. Google, Facebook, etc, does not, nor will they ever use an Oracle database to run its business. That's a huge pile of data being ignored.

No one should be running Bitcoin Core from the repo without checking git commit signatures; not everyone whose account gets hacked will post on a blog rather than pushing underhanded but otherwise normal looking commits to the repo - the 'we can prevent damage by revoking access because we saw a weird looking blog post' is just a laughbly bad excuse for a security practice.

Twenty years is "too recent"? The "encryption controversy" started in the 90s.

Again, this has been building for decades. The problem with the big tech firms is that some of them are collaborators. They don't want real encryption, because that would undermine their spyware-based business models.

What? Why?
If something works and as long as it is not such a crucial part of your life and its a matter of life and death, you can (in many cases) always go with what has worked previously.
One other argument can be the cost benefit analysis of the research itself. The time and energy (which ultimately translates to money in some sense) you put on research may not be worth the feature(s) one option offers over the other. You may never use that feature or in case of price, how much you may have to more for the brand you are loyal to may be less expensive than the risk you take by going with an option which you yourself have not tested first hand.

Maybe it's because they value their time/money more than giving the manufacturer another chance? It's a hassle to have to deal with a defective product. If you're lucky, you catch the defect early and can return it (though shipping is a hassle). If you're unlucky, you'll do the repair-dance: all the shipping hassles plus not having the use of the product for however long it takes to be fixed.

Yeah. Life is too short to deal with those kinds of problems.
Sadly I don't think I have the source for it any more - I've been running Linux since XP was released and this was long before then. The core logic was quite easy though; just grab the hWnd of the start button and use the usual Win32 APIs to move the thing about. What took longer to write was the ball and blocks you needed to smash.

The game wasn't pretty though. But it was thrown together when I was at college and should have been writing course work. In fact, I'd be surprised if it would even still play on modern Windows.

"The best we have got" doesn't really mean so much if one considers how bad the preceding periods had been. I'm not saying the quality of life had been constantly improved through the history but, thanks to the improvements in a lot of areas (technology and human rights being some important ones), it is a generally upwards trend.

In summary, you can't tie quality of life so easily to a single criterion.

This post seems to ignore some huge points. Google can only solve fragmentation by closing the platform, and ending it's primary incentive to manufacturers. Meanwhile, the agreement it would need to use to do that, is already such an overreach, that it's being gone after for antitrust in several countries. In order to reach this Google fanboy's utopia, the agreement would need to get much more illegal than it is now.

This happens in the workplace with co-workers and with clients and vendors. It is nice to say oh, you fire those people, but the reality is many times you are not in a position to do that. Many times the person may work in another group, division, company etc and you have to deal with them.

Overall, the response is situational. If it is a supervisor or executive that is acting this way and they have been there a while and are known to be abrasive, guess what? That person isn't going anywhere because management is well aware of their behavior and are tolerating it for some reason. In those cases, you can only control you and your decisions. Same thing goes for that one guy in the corner that no one can touch but who is abrasive as hell. If he's been there for a while and management is tolerating it, you can't do anything about it (at least not quickly). All the complaints and HR filings in the world won't help you if the company has made a decision to keep that person around. In fact, it will work against you as you will be seen as a liability, so best answer is to control yourself, and make your decision about what to do.

As for dealing with those people. If I can't change the situation and I have to work with this person then I will generally ignore the insults, moronic statements and stupidity and just answer their real points calmly and without getting excited. Doing it with a smile usually is fun because you have full control over your emotions and responses while others just flip out and get pissed.

Also, where I can't directly influence the other persons attitude or employment. I will instead start pushing them up, building them up, putting them so high on a pedestal and giving them credit for everything to anyone in a position of authority who will listen. It is simple, those on the highest perch fall the hardest. This is a bit underhanded and devious, but ironically it works quite well, especially in enterprises where sometimes these type of people are accepted by their supervisor but unnoticed by say the next level of management. If you build them up they will get exposed to higher levels and they will fall, assuming the company isn't just shitty all around.
Even things that do scale, don't often scale automatically. If I spring for Heroku to host my blog over GoDaddy, it's still going to go down the minute it hits the front page of Hacker News.

Recently, October 2015, the liability shift has happened from banks to merchants if they do not upgrade payment systems to chip-enabled devices. Some areas, notably gas stations, are exempted from this until few years later, that might explain why other commentators complained about them. Citing [1]:

"Beginning in October 2015, that liability will shift to the merchants in certain cases unless they have replaced or upgraded their card acceptance and processing systems to use chip-enabled devices and applications to process payment transactions."

You mean someone who spends days sleeping on the sidewalk in a tent to buy the new version of a pocket computer isn't buying based on analytical thought?

The thing is, I can understand staying up late and going to a midnight release of something like folks have done for a new Harry Potter book or a new Halo release. Following that up with staying up late reading the stories of the characters you already know to find out what happens next after waiting for a year. Or buying Halo with a buddy to head home and play the story in co-op for a few hours to have fun and see what the next chapter of the story is. With each of those emotion comes into play but for a reason and a purpose. But, in each case, you're satisfying a curiosity of what happens to a story/characters and you're spending no more than maybe 20 minutes of your time. Plus, you get to incorporate it into a fun evening with friends (having dinner and playing games for a couple hours before heading to the store to grab the game and coming back and playing for a couple hours). But, camping out for days to buy a new version of a pocket computer designed for consumption of content just seems silly.

The point on the ingress vs egress is that most systems already have a route out. To create a route in takes much more effort especially when you have NAT's etc. It's very nice to be able to spin up nodes and not have to care about opening firewall ports in security groups. By default AWS limits inbound and has no limitations on outbound (in classic ec2, things can be changed in vpc). Managing that security list centrally is far more auditable. I'm very surprised you've encountered anyone who thinks it's a great idea to open a port to every security group from a certain location (or many).

Like it or not you are beginning to split out Prometheus into a set of services regardless of the underlying belief that it all needs to fit onto a single node. That will only become more obvious over time as devices and metrics increase (which they very obviously will with containers and application metrics). There is a limit to a node, 800k metrics per box is not that huge when you consider the things that could be measure just on a single host. We have several thousand metrics coming out of just a single MySQL instance.

With Grafana you can only choose a single data source per widget. So you then can't overlay your data between prometheus nodes on the same graph. You can of course put them onto the same dashboard in different widgets but that is limiting. We chose a system where you could store all metrics across all systems at the same resolution and use them for analytics purposes on the same graphs. Having two layers of storage (robust.. on a single node :) this stretches the definition oddly) and then long term storage isn't desirable.

No matter how efficient you make things they won't keep up with the rate of metrics coming out of systems. Limiting to a single box 'because otherwise it's a hard problem' really doesn't seem like a great philosophy. It might be practical for now but longer term that's a very limited vision.

This is exactly the reason. Academia is a business just like any other. Academics do what they are incentivized to do. I guarantee that if NSF, DOE, NIH and the other US government funding agencies made publishing your code a requirement for funding, and actually checked that you did, you would see everyone start doing it immediately. Right now NSF requires a "data management plan" as part of the proposal, which includes information about sharing, reusing and archiving data and code, but nobody ever checks that you followed the plan after the money is awarded.

I was surprised because it goes against the principle of divide et impera. Apparently a divided Europe makes it easier for the USA and China to do whatever they want, and Russia too. Unless the EU with a skeptical UK is worse off than without it.

But I see your point. It's not American interests against European ones. It's to prevent a secession in a geographical space more and more dominated by some corporations and financial institutions. A secession would make it a little bit harder for them, but not so much IMHO, unless it spreads and the EU shatters (maybe because of the migrants crisis.)

I just returned from Belgium. I made sure that all the cards I took had chips. Results were mixed: The train station kiosks recognized the cards as chip + signature even though I had a PIN for them, so I had to use the clerk to buy tickets. The payment terminals in restaurants asked for my PIN, but then rejected it. I suspect my bank (despite assurances) didn't enable it. I have no way to test my cards now that I'm back in the US, as the readers (for the stores that have them enabled) default to signature "verification". The whole situation is a mess.
