That's quite sad. Most of the time SO is a source of learning a new technique rather than copying code snippets letter for letter. We are shown a cool way of doing something with fewer lines of code for example, and we apply that method to our own projects.

If someone wants attribution for code, it better be something self-contained with its own home on github or at least a blog somewhere with a unique name: "my awesome plugin v1.0".

appears to be some progress until you scroll down to see the interview and survey results. the study is all 18-34 year olds. compare against the past 15 years of voter history age grouping on turnout/registration, not a representation of the majority of the voters. they essentially asked their 18 year old kids what car to buy for their 65 year old grand parents. "Easy, Lambo."
My guess is that if this mattered the spot instances would be cheaper at the end of the month compared to the start. Not just from Heroku, but every business that has some monthly processing that needs to be renewed at the start of the month.
I don't believe there is anything like RDP built into OSX, so I don't forsee anything like this for apple any time soon.
That's great. I like that. Terms that bridge how laypeople think and perceive with tech are the best.
Indeed, doesn't look like it's there yet. Based on that I guess the spot prices will be around $1-3/h - not bad, if you have a workload that can be interrupted.
This question or questions very close to it must have come up in the endless litigation surrounding things like IBM BIOS/x86 ISA/Apple ][ ROMs/PS1 emulators, right?

What makes this case different? That APIs aren't protectable has been bandied about as gospel truth in the nerdosphere for decades. Was that assumption just wrong all along or is there something about this case that seems to make it subject to re-litigation?

Not to sound ignorant, but what's the point? Why would Netflix go through the trouble of acquiring what I suspect to be a fairly expensive domain just to show how fast one's internet speed is?
I think these are re-purposings of jokes about Unix, which is justly infamous for having lists of bugs that would've been easier to fix than to reproduce, for canonizing its bugs as standards of behavior to work around, and for having startlingly lazy components to begin with (especially the POSIX string-handling libraries -- strcmp() can be written in minutes).

See _The UNIX-HATERS Handbook_ for more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix-Haters_Handbook
The article is exactly right about what needs to be done, and who needs to do it: the airports themselves. No chance any elected official is going to scale back the TSA's screening creep at this point.

The political risks of looking "soft on terrorism" are just too high. Imagine being a politician responsible for a TSA rollback, and then, by dumb luck, a terrorist attack succeeds a short while later. There may be zero correlation, but do you think the media will care? Do you think the public will care? Do you think your political opposition will care? Ha. Your career would be over in a heartbeat. And if your opponents really felt like twisting the knife, they might drum up hearings and lawsuits against you. So call me cynical, but I just don't see any lawmaker or policy wonk sticking his or her neck out anytime soon.

This is why it's in the hands of airports to push for any particular change. They're not running for office.
Anything that requires what's basically video is probably going to be subpar. I believe Windows Server 2012 has much better handling for things like playback but it's still not going to be great for gaming.

Minecraft also benefits quite a bit from a decent video card, something that's going to be absent from most remote desktop servers (though I think that's changing).
This behavior of someone taking offense to you not wanting to drink with them is something I've seen before. What's particularly infuriating about it is that you shouldn't need any particular reason not to drink. Whether it's because you're a recovering alcoholic, or you just don't feel like it, a simple "No thank you" should be enough.

On a side note, I remember having a discussion with a coworker about after work drinks. She noted how sometimes people would be willing to stay and work more if they knew they were going out for drinks afterwards. I imagine the way alcohol can relive stress with immediacy can lead one to willingly work in more harsh conditions. Hell, I've stood extremely late several times just because I knew I can join up with friends later for a drink.
The paper states that this would only alter the center of mass. If you catch the coin or it lands on a soft surface, it has no effect, because the outcome is determined by the time when it stops. If you allow it to bounce, then yes.

TL;DR: if you want unbiased coin IRL, make sure you catch it before it hits the ground.

Directed by whom? There is no conceivable threat that would make a pilot agree to fly their plane into a building, and reinforced cockpit doors make it implausible to enter the cockpit without damaging the airplane past the point of flying - and passengers wouldn't stand for it anyway.

It's a crap comparison, anyway - the TSA is better at finding toys than they are at finding bombs and weapons. Dogs and x-ray detectors could do just as well, and "alternative airports" could choose to have those.

Odd, on a dedicated 500 mbit line I've now gotten 6 different results, ranging from 350-500. Speedtest.net indicates a stable 500+ mbit line, downloads from very fast servers always max it out at 500 as well.

Besides stabilizing it a bit, getting the upload on there would be amazing, it's certainly a lot nicer for the eye than speedtest.net.
Well that's unfortunate.
> It's going to be weird, but bear with me, I have a point to make…

> So, the other possibility is that authors deliberately reject the legal system per se.

I hope he's sarcastic because it's blindingly obvious to anyone who knows there's a copyright and published any stuff for other people to use. Reality is that if you publish something everybody can take it and use it. Copyright flies in the face of actual reality. So most people just ignore it. Consumers but also producers. Only lawyers still care. Nothing weird about it.

If you had a law that water is dry until explicitly declared wet by appropriate rightholder people would ignore that law in their daily lives if there were no enforcer around.
I know the poster specifically mentioned a jet but GA in general is absolutely within reach. With a license it costs maybe $150/hr to fly a Cessna 172 (and you're usually only billed for time the engine's actually running).

Really nice and easy to use -- the test starts way quicker than speedtest.net.

However, am I missing something, or does this only test downloading? I guess that makes sense for Netflix's use case, but I'm usually at least as interested in knowing my upload speed, because with typical asymmetric connections that can be a bigger bottleneck for video calls and content-production workloads.

People are curious because the answer to "why you don't drink" is usually a quite revealing fucked up reason.

Its so RARELY because of the latest diet or preservation of your liver or religion that people are right often enough to consider it a red flag and want to know what fucked up reason you have.
I disagree with the premise that 9/11 ended the hijacking threat. It ended the threat with basic security in place, because 40 unarmed passengers versus four hijackers armed with box cutters means the hijackers lose. Let the hijackers bring semiautomatic guns and that equation changes radically.

Finally, never discount political retribution towards developers who do go this route. While protected in developments that follow this proposed law all their other developments directly and indirectly related will face more scrutiny

> Why would Netflix go through the trouble of acquiring what I suspect to be a fairly expensive domain just to show how fast one's internet speed is?

Fast.com shows how fast your connection to Netflix's servers are.

Given how popular a use of the internet Netflix is (and that using it for Netflix is one of the reasons people pay for particular internet speeds), and given that many ISPs provide connections which, for various reasons, provide less speed on connections to Netflix than users might expect from advertised speeds, this seems to be useful both to consumers and Netflix. The motives clearly are not altruistic, even though there is consumer utility.

Probaby going to annoy the heck out of a lot of ISPs...
The amount of data netflix will collect from this is exciting! I can only imagine the stories it will tell once hundreds of thousands of people use it. It would be fantastic to see how the agreements between ISPs and netflix affect the data transfer rates.
Unemployment is not up: http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

People continuously spew that unemployment is a problem, when it is pretty much at the optimal level on a national scale. (5% is actually BETTER than 4%).

Manufacturing is only terribly if you buy cheap products, increase what you pay and mfg quality will increase too.

Yes stagnant wages are bad, I agree.

Seems like this is really about training their consumers to define the quality of their internet by their reachability to the Netflix CDN nodes.. Smart move on Netflix's part.
> And as much as people here or anywhere may say that they either A) don't care whether I'm drinking or B) feel awkward around others who don't drink, the reality is that the culture is centred around whether you drink and how much.

I really don't think this is true. It may feel that way to you because you end up interacting a lot with the small portion of people who do care, but, for the most part, people are very indifferent to how much others are drinking.

Sometimes I go to things like this and drink, sometimes I don't drink, but because drinking is a non-issue to me I have never once been bothered by the environment. If someone asks why I'm not drinking I would just say something like "I have to be up early tomorrow," and that's it, issue resolved.
Yes, by employees of the organization operating that airplane. Notably, the constitution does not prohibit search and seizure performed by airline employees who are unaffiliated with the government.
Well, the nice thing about this is that they test with real-world streaming data that ISPs can't game like the do on SpeedTest.net. What's the upload equivalent of that? Flickr uploads?

Docker is still pretty bleeding edge, and was never designed to work with Mac OS X or Windows from the get-go.

The fact that the proposed experience for OS X and Windows is so good is a testament to how hard the community and the Docker team have been working! It's natural that there would be some growing pains.
It was an etiquette class -- presumably for formal settings. Of course they're going to steer you away from certain topics -- what did you expect from such a class in the first place...?
Haven't seen those in Europe yet.

There's enough stuff sold after the security check which can be used for mixtures one could cause problems with. There's food, liquor, batteries, electronics, smokes, lighters, watches, power outlets, and many other things after the security check. You can even buy clothes there.

If I didn't know the outcome would be more restrictions, I'd love for an investigative journalist to go through there with an expert and have them build a chaos device of some sort just with elements bought after the security check. If somebody did this on media, it wouldn't help fix the theater, we would only get more restrictions, although I hope that wouldn't be the case.
To prioritize traffic to FAST would mean to prioritize traffic to Netflix.

This tool was created specifically to get around jackbooted thuggish attempts by ISPs to cheat speed tests.

Made some good points but clearly with left leaning bias. When discussing negative points throws bush and trump snippets, on positive points Obama.

1. Both party are lobbyist prostitutes. Congress, DNC and the GOP need big money from the lobbyist for elections, re-elections, MSM Positive PR, and it takes half a billion dollars to run for office and millions for congress.

2. Congress does not create the bills and regulations, they just robosign them. Those bills and regulations are drafted by the lobbyist and their dream team of lawyers on the payroll. There is a reason why billions are spent on lobbying

3. The Reason why tax money is wasted is because of reason number 2 above. The lobbyist draft and create the bills being robosigned by congress.

So when the gov't waste money the tax payer picks up the tab and the Lobbyist who drafted the laws end up on the winning side. Its only the tax payers that gets shafted not the Lobbyist

Obamcare is an example. Drafted by lobbyist, excessive waste but if you look at the top healthcare insurance providers before and after Obamacare you will notice something interesting. Their stagnate earnings went to an almost 45 degree incline to the positive after

https://www.anony.ws/i/2015/10/16/Insurance.png

4. To fix the issue you need to get the majority of the people to get their heads out of their @rse and identify the actual problem and not chase their tail with the symptoms. For the last 5 decades at minimum we have been discussing the same symptoms of corruption: Taxes, jobs, economy, immigration, SS, medicaid,sexism,racism,sexuality,religion,foreign matters,energy,environment etc.

However not one of those things have been fixed and that is because they are all effected by gov't and lobbyist conflict of interest and corruption.

To fix those areas we need to demand that the DNC,GOP, and the MSM not ONLY FOCUS on corruption but make it ISSUE number 1:

We should ONLY be discussing the following things.

1. Congregational term limits

2. campaign financing reform.

3. Lobbying reform

4. doing away with super-pacs

5. Revolving door between gov't and private sector

6. Transparency
> I find it hard to believe their motives are purely altruistic.

Absolutely selfish. Their goal is to make boatloads of money by pressuring ISPs to allow their customers to access Netflix at the speeds the customers paid for. Once customers can use their high speed internet, many will choose to be Netflix customers.
How much does it cost to get a license?

Can a Cessna 172 take me and my wife and child across the country to New York? Is parking a plane there free?

"Especially as a hobby" has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. Horseback riding is also affordable as a hobby, but nobody's bringing it up in a thread about the TSA because it has just as much relevance.
To make money, they have to be accurately pricing. If the spread on something was $0.50, meaning that there are people on record as willing to buy at $0.50 lower than others are on record as willing to sell, the real price is somewhere within that range. Presumably, the real value of the stock is somewhere in the middle, but we don't know, because there's not any transactions happening right now, and the real value of something is the value at which people are willing to exchange it. HFT firms provide liquidity, in a lot more transactions, and at smaller spreads than regular people are willing to do (because HFT firms can automate away much of the work). This results in a more accurate price (smaller spread), and you being more likely to sell at that price (even if it's to a HFT). At least, that's the theory.

I'm not a finance guy, but I've followed it here for quite a while, and this is my general impression of it. I used to be fairly anti-HFT until I learned more about it. Now I'm somewhat ambivalent, except for the topic of rogue trading algorithms, which seem fairly dangerous, but the genie's out of the bottle.
I agree, but if some people are going to cause a disproportionate need for them, then those people should pay for it more than the rest.

Really, though, that was more of a glib remark. The more salient point IMO is the fact that the military is far from guaranteed to succeed in bringing down a hijacked airliner before it hits its target, or without killing other people on the ground.
So this thing is worth about three humans in the western world :(

(not that I don't understand that this could be said of many things, might actually be true in economic terms etc. It just never occured to me with other heavy machinery).
Would you mind elaborating on that? What are the issues with speedtest.net?
What I posted doesn't represent my own opinion, it's my perception of what developers in general might think, based on what I've heard people say in the past.

I don't have a big problem with Java (it was the first language that I learned object-oriented programming in), and I like C#'s increasingly cross-platform focus. I like the things I've read about C++17 and the features planned for it, and I'd be interested in seeing Rust pick up some steam.

Other people get really excited about various functional languages, new+shiny Javascript frameworks, and Node.js. Anything that's new, related to web technologies, and solves a perceived problem.

"Reality is that if you publish something everybody can take it and use it"

Patents are a (controversial) way to publish something without allowing others to use it.
So at least, there must be a (controversial) rationnale behind "publishing without allowing any use".
It's not about reminding people of a moral position, it's about making people feel bad about the situation they have put you in. If you serve meat to a vegetarian and they say "sorry I don't eat meat," you feel bad because you've put them in an uncomfortable position, and now you are concerned about whether they will be comfortable/have a good time. Same with drinking.
I loathe telling people I'm a vegetarian for this reason. People think that my decision to not eat meat is an attack on _them_ and not a choice I've made for myself.
