whenever I had to compare Angularjs vs React the one key difference is that the former has ionic and the latter has React Native, to get performance non-critical out quick Ionic seems to be much easy to use comparing to React Native. I wish someone can produce a similar project on top of React-Native(or whatever modules they choose) soon.
This is pretty much how tax filing works in Taiwan (even for me as an expat here). Doing it in software (not great software but in the end result effective) and it's all just a review and crosscheck. Worked like a charm for the last 7 years. And even if you don't use the software, in the tax office it's about 10 mins to get everything done. Pretty much all info is in the central system already.

* tradition (we've always done it this way! retraining is hard! - which gets mentioned a lot in the article)

* stylistic choice ('toon shaders' keep getting better but still look kinda weird compared to what an expert animator can do; there is a distinct visual pleasure to looking at A Cartoon versus a 3D model)

* it's fun! There's a certain magic to making a series of still drawings come to life.

* malleability (if you want wild takes, distortions, weird transformations, extreme poses, etc, you have to do a lot more work in a 3d package and explicitly model it, then figure out ways to swap it in versus Just Drawing It; hell, even a simple costume change for a few scenes is a lot more work in 3D)

* much more complicated and expensive tools (the traditional pencil and paper method is gonna cost you maybe a couple hundred bucks to get started, a pro-level 3D package is going to be around a thousand bucks, more if you end up with the common workflow of one package for modelling, and another for animating, plus there's a crazy steep initial learning curve - I'm working on a show pitch intended to be in super-stylized 3D, and I'm really not looking forwards to learning how to wrangle that if it actually goes anywhere.)

We're seeing a lot of lavishly-made 3D feature cartoons, but the 3D tv cartoons we're seeing are a lot rarer. This is because it costs a hell of a lot more to meticulously model a bunch of new stuff for every episode compared to drawing it - you always want to have new places to go, new characters to deal with.

That said the state of the art of making 3D look like a cartoon has come a long way, my favorite current example is Guilty Gear Xrd, which is completely done in Unreal and is nearly indistinguishable from a hand-drawn fighting game. And had a lot of sweat and blood behind the scenes making it look that way: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022031/GuiltyGearXrd-s-Art-Sty...

TV studios are starting to experiment with this; a friend of mine at Nickelodeon (who previously ran the all-cg Kung Fu Panda show) is working on a project that's being built and animated in Unreal: https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/gdc-2016-a-glimpse-at-the-... - search on 'Project 85'.

I'm going to share the best way I have found to kill any particular thing in windows you don't like, including GWX: (this is not my full script, just a section, so you will have to modify it)

taskkill /IM GWX*

takeown /r /d N /f c:\windows\system32\gwx

icacls c:\windows\system32\gwx\. /c /t /deny everyone:F

icacls c:\windows\system32\gwx /c /t /deny everyone:F

reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx /v DisableGwx /t REG_DWORD /d 1

edit: one thing I ran into that caused me to use this hackish script is that, at least in the early GWX days, windows updates were re-enabling the GWX and update registry keys. So a few tuesdays later and GWX is back and asking to upgrade again.
Legacy code is working code. Arguably time is better spent making old code go faster than optimizing yet to be written code.

And this is not confined to compilers. Most general purpose high performance CPUs are actually optimized to make existing code go fast and do not require recompilation to take advantage of many optimizations. Some go as far as recognizing common sequences of instructions and internally converting them to more optimized sequences (for example POWER8 conditional conversion of short jumps to conditional execution).

My first serious introduction to programming was through Harvard's online CS50x course, which uses C. I think it was a fantastic way to introduce a newbie like me to what programming languages are doing under the hood with memory allocation, pointers, value vs ref, etc.
But "unreasonable" means something closer to its literal meaning in U.S. law. It means a conclusion that a rational person would not reach. So "unreasonable" is a pretty strong safeguard. It's hard to reach an "unreasonable" conclusion about your legal obligations by accident.

In the criminal context, we also have the rule of leniety, which holds that ambiguities in criminal laws are resolved in favor of the defendant.

It's unusual to encounter a situation where the law is clear but someone is punished based on vague case law interpretation of the law. I rarely see a situation where I think "the Court just botched interpreting this statute." Almost always, it's "Congress or the agency botched writing this statute or regulation." And in a civil system it's much harder for the courts to fix such problems.

We do have a problem with laws that are themselves unclear, but the Supreme Court has done some weed cleaning in that area. For example, Jeffrey Skilling got a reduced sentence because the Supreme Court found that the honest services fraud statute was unconstitutionally vague unless limited to strict "bribery and kickbacks" theory. In the area of fraud on the government, courts have held that defendants can only be punished for making incorrect statements to the government (for e.g. Medicaire claims) if the falsity of their statements is based on an unreasonable and not merely incorrect interpretation of the underlying regulations.

We also generally have a strong separation between civil suits and criminal suits. People lament that not enough people go to prison in the white collar world, but in my opinion it's a good thing we're not sending people to prison for misunderstanding Treasury or Fed regulations.

This code is not actually that _complex_, it is just _complicated_, and there are probably several people within the company that understand it completely. If you actually go through the code, I bet you will understand the majority of it.
Step functions are annoying and complicated and need to be _fast_, less than half a frame long. And you need to do a lot in them, and all of those things are tightly coupled.
Lets take Firefox as an example. Over the years they have been simplifying the interface, especially once Chrome came into the picture. Every time they remove something I find myself annoyed that a function I used, which was in an intuitive location, is now hidden away in a deep sub-dialog. That is, if it even survived at all.

I'll keep my complex UI thank you very much. Complex doesn't have to mean complicated.

Wanted to comment precisely this. Yesterday my gf called me because she had W10 on her laptop, installed, and about to start all the process of adding the user and stuff (I think).

Guess now I know why that happened.

Right fit usually means one of two things:

1. culmination of all non-technical skills in aggregate

Example: general disposition, humility, collaboration, confidence, hygiene, professionalism, and so forth.

Collaboration being the highest weighted one.

2. JD is poorly written and is too broad, and the technical skills the candidates have don't match what we're looking for.
UI's a funny term for APIs. I don't think it's that complex.

APIs are written documents describing external controls to a system's behavior. A good document can describe both the controls and behavior clearly and succinctly. A bad one can describe the same in long and convoluted language that effectively hides the underlying system. Often in a mess of "should" and "can" clauses, with lots of passive voice, vague assumptions, and unnecessary complexity and verbiage.

For some reason, I feel many programmers write documentation the same way that they wrote their X-page essays for English class. They're just trained to write fluffed-up junk that fills some imaginary requirements of a long-irrelevant class.

EDIT: To clarify: I'm describing the actual types and methods themselves. They infer an underlying mechanism and a means to control it.
Yes, in the sense that they can do a lot more.
It was implemented initially as a fragile stunt.

The real problem with it in C based languages is that it requires the real, true, whole program, because it is impossible to not break the ABI of the structure :)

In general, memory locality/etc optimizations are more focused on reorganizing loops to walk the data optimally, instead of reorganizing data so normal loops walk them optimally.

(See, e.g., polyhedral loop optimizations, which XLC and others ship with. A good paper to read is PLUTO and PLUTO+)

Option A: Maybe it's acceptable for legacy code to be compiled less-optimally? If it was fast enough on a Pentium 4, it should run fine on modern chips even without some optimizations

Option B: How often is legacy code recompiled, anyway?

Option C: Why not compile legacy code with legacy compilers? Sure the hack was removed upstream, but that doesn't stop you from using a copy of gcc circa 1995

Option D: If it needs to be maximally fast, and is routinely recompiled on a wide range of systems with a variety of compilers (e.g. Linux kernel), maybe it's worth rewriting.
> One problem is that people are too macho to admit they have cognitive limits.

Yes, I experienced this and it seems to be a real problem, for various reasons: if it does not look complicated, investors won't like it, won't buy it; if it is too simple to use, people will think I am dumb. If the setup is too simple, people will think I am incompetent, etc.

Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability, not a nice-to-have.

> In Japan, English is already mandatory, yet, English fluency sucks.

I can related. French is similarly taught in Canadian schools in all English-speaking provinces and I don't know anyone in Ontario that went through those classes that can speak anything more than a few words.

In my otherwise quality public (catholic) schools the French class was seen as an extra recess where the teachers would always struggle to get the class to focus. The course was always dumbed-down as a result.

The only ones who have any proficiency have studied it outside of school or attended "French-immersion schools" (in Ontario).

The mandatory classes were a waste of time and tax money in my opinion.

Whether programming could succeed I'm not sure, but it shows that there has to be a strong interest from the students to really grasp it - because learning a language, and equally learning programming, requires a strong commitment.
Or overhead?

Oh good, a way to encourage harassment.

Before: some @jerk keeps sending annoying tweets to @victim, but since they aren't .@ tweets only the victim sees them in their timeline, or people who follow both @jerk and @victim.

Now: @jerk continues to send annoying tweets to @victim, but now everyone who follows @jerk sees the attacks, so if they're like minded they can now pile on @victim too.

With everything that keeps going on, including celebrities leaving Twitter due to harassment issues and having to seriously bulk up their harassment rules and enforcement departments... you'd think they'd think about some of this stuff first.

But wait, it gets worse:

You can now @mention up to 50 people, but ONLY THE FIRST WILL SHOW. So now you can easily harass huge groups of people and they won't even know why they're getting the tweet in the first place!

A bank would be useful for general learning. i.e. when I went to the site just now, I didn't have a specific emoji that I needed to identify, but if there had been a 'bank of emojis' I probably would have wasted a few minutes of my day reading about what they mean...because I frequently have no idea what emojis mean...

And by wasted I mean I wouldn't have been working. Not a jab at your project :)
Anyone who claims that CSVs are easy to parse have obviously never had to deal with the kind of junk that you see in real CSV files. Quite apart from quotes (is a "a,b" two fields with '"a' and 'b"' or a single field with three characters?) there are also things like new lines like

like,"this
newline"

Which are part of the field and not two records. Or having to deal with user names like Blue, Al (outlook's preferred format for representing people's names).

Or you end up with O'Reilly - is the ' part of a quoted string or not?

And of course a comma isn't necessarily the only separator - what about tabs? Or a document where an intermediary has saved it in an editor that has "helpfully" converted tabs to N spaces (where N is a universally disagreed upon nonzero positive integer)

I would argue that buying an ergonomic chair goes way beyond tricking your senses. There are actual mechanical forces that support your body weight in ways more conscious of your anatomic needs; e.g. the chair is simply better, no trickery needed.

Wearing sunglasses could be seen as either way. You are definitively dimming the raw luminous stimuli that reaches your eyes, but you could argue that your are not dullying your senses but just filtering a part of the spectrum with low signal-to-noise ratio, so your senses are enhanced as a result. Technology can be seen as an extension of human capacity. That's what tools are all about.

This thing in the ear, it does not give you beyond human capacities, neither helps you recover regular capacities you lost by whatever circumpstances. This just let you pay for the privilege of not having to develop your capacities to begin with.
Since operating systems can “quarantine” downloaded files, it seems perfectly reasonable to also quarantine data that can be arbitrarily modified by remote APIs. This is doubly true when there are all kinds of ways for web sites to trick the user into visiting domains they don’t really know that they “requested”.

On the Mac, applications downloaded from the Internet are quarantined; they stay that way until you accept a warning message displayed at first launch (even if you wait days to launch it for the first time). The OS helpfully remembers where the file came from, e.g. “This was downloaded from www.notmalware.com on July 6, 2000.”.

If a web browser insists on allowing web-controlled Copy behavior, the resulting pasteboard should be given a big, black TAINTED mark that cannot be cleared without a very explicit action. If I go to another application and try to Paste, the other application should not be able to access the data without clearing the quarantine (e.g. OS provides standard dialog that shows the entire text and web site of origin, free of any white text-coloring or Unicode invisibility tricks).

Having done a fresh install of Win7 recently, I can confirm that only installing important updates, not treating recommended updates the same, and being highly selective of which optional updates (i.e. drivers only) prevents any of the Windows 10 upgrade stuff from being installed.

This doesn't help anyone who has previously done things differently (which was generally accepted as the best practice), but if you're setting up any new hosts, the above may work out as well for you as it has for me.

Yeah, I don't mean to endorse them, especially not as-written. Any time you make laws like "it is illegal to circumvent the law" you're inviting exponential amounts of red tape. Add that to laws that were already high-burden on small businesses, and it's a recipe for real trouble (made even worse by the fact that a remarkable amount of banking still isn't digital).

I know that the specific case I mentioned has been fairly useful in fighting money laundering and large-scale drug-dealing, though. There's something to be said for making it hard to move large amounts of money through banks without being observed, but as always there's no good way to do that without interfering with legitimate commerce.
I do, assuming its just for me. I still much prefer the hg cli over git.

But, I'll grant its not worth fighting over if I am working with collaborators who have a git preference.

Bot review: Poncho, 1-800-Flowers, and CNN rated for design and usability
The combination of watering hole attacks and internet scale packet timing collection is pretty big problem for the security of Tor users.

Fortunately Internet wide timing attacks are mostly a Five Eyes and domestic Chinese capability. Chaff, padding etc can help here.

Compromising the servers of target services and using that a platform to distribute anonymity stripping malware is also a problem. The Firefox codebase that TBB is based isn't awesome from a security point of view. Hopefully the Firefox code base can catch up from a security perspective and give them something better to work with.
