Actually this is where you can be flexible with a specification. If the ticket was initially specified as embedding the fonts, then technically it's an implementation defect since it was already specified. However, as a team you might decide it's not too bad to download fonts instead of embedding them. This is where you can be flexible with the solution. Instead ob being rigid with expectation when the reality is the bug can comfortably be re-classified.

If however the loading time with downloading the fonts is something the team is not as per the team's quality standards and they are not willing to live with it, then it should absolutely remain as a bug.

Now that the classification portion is out of the way, the team priority is to work on bugs first no matter what.

So I'm saying that "the actual definition of what a bug is" should be stated as a guideline and the team can decide on an ongoing basis. Some guidelines might be rigid, others not so much.
Who said that HuffPo was a news org? They're an ideological blog. Just like Breitbart is an ideological blog. Having offices doesn't make one a news org.

Why are you making arguments against claims I never made? Also, why do libertarians hate it so much when people use their own basic ideology against them?
I can see you have no idea what Xamarin is. With Xamarin, you still use UIKit and the native Android UI, the difference is that you program it in C# and thus the non-UI code can be shared seamlessly. Performance is not "very meh" as the UI is completely native and Xamarin compiles the C# to native code ahead-of-time. It has literally nothing to do with WebViews.

I tried to read this book a while ago after spending maybe 5 to 6 years in the industry. I don't think I really got anything out of it to be honest. A lot of the content makes sense, but in a "well, duh, captain obvious" kind of way. This is not a criticism, I'm ready to admit that somebody with more than a few years of experience is not the main target of this book.

However, it is a great read for anyone starting their career.
This is really complicated
> This sort of story is pure narrative fallacy

My favorite of these are the articles which criticize health insurers who invest in things like tobacco products.

The point of insurance is to manage risk. Tobacco is indisputably linked to expensive health consequences down the line, so if there is an increase in tobacco consumption, that would generate more claims for health insurers down the line. Capturing some portion of the tobacco industry's profits in this case is an example of smoothing that risk[0]. Health insurers do a lot of really scummy and unethical things, but this is not an example of one.

[0] Of course, that assumes that health insurance is meant to act like insurance, which it by and large is not - health insurance is no longer about insurance at all. That, of course, is a separate matter altogether).
> "the sugar they sell is bad, that's it, there's no questioning"

I question it.

There appears to be little-to-no scientific evidence that there are "bad" sugars and "good" sugars. From what I understand (I'm no doctor, just a person who reads a lot) the main problem is the volume of consumption, not "good" vs "bad" sugars. There's nothing wrong with a normal, healthy person having sugar in any of the forms Nestle sells, only with having too much of it.

Now, you could argue that they sell it in quantities that make it easy to have too much, but that's different from saying the sugar itself is bad.

That's why they support Hillary.
Probably not: He owns whatever portion is vested, subject to dilution in event of future fundraising. Some of his equity will already be vested based on his tenure and vesting schedule used. Plus, if his agreement has any kind of vesting acceleration clause that ignites upon material event (company sale, key personnel replacement including his position, etc), he may well be fully vested.
But what is the conservative perspective? Have you checked out the party platforms for conservatives for major states like Texas? What are the most oft-used conservative, energy-tapping, get-out-to-vote talking points?

Conservatives are now the minority of this country, but due to bad districting, they have disproportionate electoral power.

And you know, it's not like the GOP needed to be enemies with the scientific community, but that's how they've positioned themselves. The conservative narrative is: scientists lie about global warming, fracking, coal, and other ecological points. Scientists lie about homosexuality. Scientists lie about the efficacy of abstinence, and they lie about condoms.

I think conservatives have been toyed with the GOP repeatedly, and I think it's no coincidence that the GOP is having a crisis, and I think it's both surprising and unsurprising that Donald Trump barely plays the Christian card. The top and only Christian consensus issues are (1) abortion, (2) homosexuality, and (3) sex education in schools. Distracting issues.

Not that that's the whole solution, but certainly something I'd look into before digging into CUDA.
The reason you require licensing for insurance sales is because it's very difficult to track all of the individual instances of malfeasance. So, the answer to your question is, "I don't know."

But just because I don't have particular instances of harm, doesn't mean this isn't an problem. If you let anybody sell health insurance, you end up with con artists selling sham insurance, and by the time you track down the conman, real people are hurt. Sure you can fine the shysters, or maybe even put them in jail (but probably not), but in the meantime, families savings are wiped out to pay the medical bills, or worse, people get sick and die because they can't get treatment.
Our electoral system makes it exceptionally difficult to break out of the two main parties. And, if you're paying attention to the details of the primaries: at a national level, it is very tough to get a true outsider into a campaign. Sanders got shoved out by the Democrat machine. Trump got in because, whether you like it or not, the Republican primaries are MORE open and democratic!

I also think Trump is talking out of his butt a lot, manipulating the voter bases he needs to succeed. I highly doubt he'll have his supposed way on what you perceive to be war crimes - in fact, many republicans are voting for him on the idea that we shouldn't be in the middle east, and that we should be "making deals".

The American voting public is a lot more complex than armchair foreigners give it credit for, and it's not as easy as saying "well, you can vote, and the elected are crap, therefore every voter has themselves to blame". Perhaps if we were a parliamentary system, or our legislature a proportional representative format, but it's not.

"With a growth mindset, every social interaction is an opportunity to improve. Saying something awkward is simply an indication that you need to put more effort into that area. It is not a sign of failure or a reflection of 'who I am'.

At no point does the OP ever suggest you try to "gamify" your interactions with people or "evaluate your performance". OP is simply suggesting that a person who self-perceives as awkward should instead reflect on circumstances in which they feel that way. OP suggests that one should separate their behavior/circumstances from their sense of self.

> What GP means is that US is no longer a republic.

No, what GP means is that the US is no longer a democratic republic (which is, as the term "democracy" is generally used today, a form of "democracy", rather than an alternative to it.) The complaint GP makes does not contrast with a republic in any way, as all a Republic means is that it is a system of government where government isn't by (or exercising powers derived, at least in principle, from) a monarch.
An interesting chart appears on the Wiki explaining how Microsoft keeps tilting at this windmill and has two decades of cancelled or scaled back products to show for it.

I suspect there is an inherent scaling problem with the approach. While it demos well and can be useful in a lab setting, the full scale version ends up being so complex that mere mortals aren't able to comprehend it and end up just losing their files constantly in the morass of schemas and structured accesses.

The talk on the wiki about being able to write an editor that can handle any file type smells of pure insanity to me. An application that can present a usable editing interface for any filetype would be so bloated that it's almost inconceivable to think about a single company writing it. Can you imagine the kind of application that has an interface for manipulating photos, writing reports, tabulating data, programming (all languages), doing CAD, editing textures, composing music, etc...?
We destroy people's lives for lots of reasons in the US. Protecting the public from poorly behaved businesses would be better than most of them.

The problem is incorporating third party content that is neither screened nor sanitized. The proportion doesn't matter as much as the fact that there is nothing stopping attacks. They only get cleaned up afterwards. You don't expose your users to attack without warning.

I think very few websites allow one person to embed arbitrary scripts that will be shown to another person.
> The debug messages were confusing. I never used Obj-C so I'm not sure if that's iOS or Swift that causes confusing error messages.

While it has gotten a little better, it is Swift.

(EDIT:) But I've been loving Swift so far! I've found that there is some consistency to the weird errors, so eventually you can start to map them to past experiences.
Great opinion piece. I think this is mostly the opinion of anyone that really discovers OpenBSD and gets caught up in it. Security does matter, and the developers accept nothing less than what they want.

My main problem with OpenBSD development is that all development is decided solely by the developers and there doesn't seem to be much care for what others want.. which is fine, they're doing all the work for peanuts.

Sometimes you just have to do things that aren't well suited for OpenBSD (imagine updating and ensuring hundreds of OpenBSD machines are up-to-date, and running high performant threaded applications). Many things work, but that is all they do. Sure it may be much more secure than other unix or linux offerings, it may be all there is. Much of the ports are just "get this to compile and work". That isn't always good enough. Truly evaluate if it fits your needs. If there is something you want on the platform, it may be up to you to fix it.

Unrelated, I find it interesting that NetBSD isn't mentioned once in this entire thread.

USB3 was also supposed to have fiber components. Really hard to find references for this online since at CES 2008 they showed the connectors without any optical stuff, but I found this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/09/19/idf_usb_3_announced/

Anyone know why they didn't end up going optical + copper for USB3?
That's pretty impressive!

Maybe this isn't as big a concern as I think, but the ease of these commercial demos relies on a crucial assumption: that I am nearly completely price insensitive. I'm not a cheapskate, but I don't usually purchase the first product a vendor puts up because there's usually something better and slightly less expensive if you put in an additional minute or two into the search. But with the demos given (ordering flowers, booking hotels, etc.) it's usually a sample of 2-3 different options, and from what I've seen, usually higher end items.

Will such assistants still maintain their usefulness when I don't have the monetary pleasure and freedom of just saying "Yes" to the first option offered?
at the same time, how do you feel about creationism and intelligent design being suppressed instead of given equal airtime with competing theories.

what constitutes "fair?" if one group is twice as loud while delivering the same amount of content, is it unfair to turn their volume down by half?

how about something like snopes or myth debunking? does dr oz deserve equal placement to more credible nutrition science? what is worse, attempting to surface more legitimate sources, or letting your site turn into a free for all shouting match?

for anyone downvoting me because they think I approve of censorship if my side wins: quite the contrary. I think from a purely theoretical standpoint, signal to noise is a complicated problem, and the people who reject the idea of filtering or ranking in totality are being unrealistic. allowing the loudest speakers to unabatedly monopolize collective attention is a problem.
I was part of a caving group for a while. Very interesting and friendly subculture. Mine had some overlap with hikers and a few were trained for rescue.

As far as I can tell, the impl of Arc and ARC are actually basically identical at the high level, with the only major diff being ARC only keeps 32-bit counts on 64-bit (so they only waste one pointer of space).

Everything else is just where retain/release (clone/drop) calls are made. Rust is insanely good at not frobbing counts because you can safely take internal pointers and move pointers into a function without touching the counts at all. Swift has lots of interesting optimizations to avoid touching the counts, but it's hard to compete with a system that has so much great static information related to liveness of pointers and values.

As a simple example, consider this code (which is conveniently valid Swift and Rust, modulo snake_vsCamel):

let x = make_refcounted_thing();
foo(x);

This code in isolation will always not frob counts for Rust. This code may not frob counts in Swift, depending on what follows `foo`. In particular if foo is in tail position (or at least tail-position-for-the-life-of-x), then we can avoid frobbing, because we know foo's final operations will be to release its function args. foo may in turn punt releasing its function args to anyone it passes them to as a tail call. Note that Swift and Rust both have the usual caveats that "less is a tail call than you think" thanks to side-effecting destructors.

The takeaway is that Rust's default semantics encourage releasing your memory earlier, which in turn means less traffic on the reference counts. Particularly interesting is that in Rust, you can run a function arg's destructor earlier than the end of the function by moving it in to a local variable. In Swift, I do not think this is possible (but I wouldn't be too surprised to be wrong -- Swift has tons of special attributes for these little things).

I've been doing enterprise backend development (java/spring, scala, akka) for a while and occasionally miss the practice of sitting down and creating a fullstack app myself, which I used to do with php and crappy html. But then I sit down and try to work with existing Ruby/Rails codebases and hit a mental block.

I guess example #1 is method_missing. I get it, it's a huge time-saver and lets you do all kinds of cool things like specify a default behavior for an API if someone sends a random command, or, define the behavior of a method dynamically by the name of the phantom method. But then the rest of me is reflexively saying, "Seriously??" And I get that Spring Data does sort of the same thing, but at least there it's limited by domain. If I'm in a Ruby codebase that is taking regular advantage of that, my first instinct would be find calls that eventually go to method_missing, and then just define the damn method somewhere so that my IDE's "Find Usage" will work again. How the heck do you explore a codebase quickly if your IDE doesn't work?

I guess for me it just reinforces the same rules of thumb. Dynamic languages are fine if you're prototyping or doing an MVP. But as soon as you find that your codebase is being read/maintained more often than it's being written (which will happen sooner than you think), or as soon as you start finding weird production runtime bugs that don't happen in your local environment, you're better off with something strong or static or compiled.

As for how to get that safety full-stack these days, I'm still poking around. Scalajs seems interesting, or Angular2 with Typescript, or something that uses RxJs...

I think it depends where in the industry. In the startup world, where much of what it says has been internalized in the industry for so long that if you work around the industry, you'll get a lot of it by osmosis, you're probably right. Other places in technology (e.g., in enterprise) I think that's a lot less true, and yet a lot of it is can be just as valid and useful for people working in those environments, even if the its not part of the cultural knowledge they are steeped in.

I think not, but im working on a application platform where the sdk is in swift. Im using the chrome runtime, so im binding into the chrome compositor, the same rendering engine that the webkit uses. This part is almost finished, and is rendering properly , i just need to finish creating the finished components(buttons, etc..) over the ui view.

Im trying to create a distributed application platform, using the bittorrent DHT for that.. so this is the part im working on right now.

I hope i can launch this in a couple of months from now, so swift can have a multiplatform UI and where applications can be distributed in a decentralized way.
This was my first reaction as well, but then I realized I hadn't done much currying in Swift and half forgot it was a feature.

Maybe you can bring it back when we get hygienic macros (Swift 4.0? fingers crossed)
Job: Senior software developer ( C# .NET ) – Stockholm
Kudos George!
Chinese leaders understand very well that their country’s maritime trade routes are ringed with hostile powers from Japan through the Malacca Straits and beyond, backed by overwhelming U.S. military force. Accordingly, China is proceeding to expand westward with extensive investments and careful moves toward integration.

Expanding into the vastness of central Asia is a raw deal, historically. It's much too hard to secure borders, so security becomes a huge drain on resources. China would probably do better to increase trade with its neighbors, and lose some of its identity to a regional economic association. If China's trade routes become the mutual interest of her neighbors, being ringed by powerful neighbors goes from a detriment to an advantage.

The U.S. is suffering under the burden of maintaining overwhelming military superiority. The British Empire mortgaged world domination for help in WWI, then defaulted to the US for WWII and gave up many of her global network of naval bases to the US. The 1st half of the 20th century bankrupted the British Empire. Now the latter half of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st will be seen as the same process happening to the U.S.

Ubuntu does not enable it by default, as it mixes poorly with some drivers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Rootless

AMD only added KMS to their proprietary driver last year, and Nvidia this year (and IIRC only in a beta driver so far); and systemd makes the permission handling a lot easier. So Ubuntu will transition to it eventually, but didn't have all puzzle pieces until too recently for even 16.04 LTS.

I'm not saying this would be simple, or as nice as the tool given, but it's not impossible.

First, do a 'ls' directory dump of the 3 folders. Then 'cut' out the softlink destination from each file. This will end up with 3 files with soft links. From there, 'grep' the music and mp3 files together to get a list of soft links that are in both music and mp3. Then you can do an inverse 'grep' to remove softlinks that are in big jazz.

Even if the system creates hard links instead of softlinks, then the same could be done via inode numbers

The issue should be framed as what are the chances your home or workplace will collapse during a major earthquake.

I believe a reasonable person will conclude taking reasonable precautions to supplant overwhelmed first responders is the only investment a person need to actually plan in event of a nearby major earthquake.

To believe your family will be harmed by a collapsed building in California is unreasonable hysteria.
