You're not the first. I shared this with many people and many seem to miss the button.

It's arguably bad UI, as I'd imagine most people would expect functional buttons to be at the top of a full-page UI, and not shoved down to where you usually have a status bar or footer. The coloring and flat design doesn't help either, as it looks like some sort of badge rather than a button.
I found this helpful:

"The main idea of finitistic mathematics is not accepting the existence of infinite objects such as infinite sets. While all natural numbers are accepted as existing, the set of all natural numbers is not considered to exist as a mathematical object. Therefore quantification over infinite domains is not considered meaningful."

As someone with ADHD, I have spent a lot of my life trying to have more grit. In fact, I did make it through some difficult programs, the navy nuclear power program and Georgetown Law, prior to being diagnosed. But I always came across like I wasn't trying. I wanted desperately to try, but didn't understand that my mind couldn't just add grit on demand. (though if I managed to get myself in enough of a bind, the adrenaline did help). Somewhere along the line (before being diagnosed), I came to see things like grit as a moral judgement--one that I consistently failed.
There are a few people who think that. There are plenty of others who do not. Those in charge of reviewing licensing in Linux distributions that have adopted it are generally of the opinion that it is okay, especially those in charge of Sabayon and Ubuntu. Gentoo came to similar conclusions long before them (>4 years before Ubuntu) and ships it in binary form on the LiveDVD. At this point, there are at least a few dozen distributions that have adopted ZFS in some form or another.

Here is a legal opinion on the matter:

> How do we deliver our software to millions of people simultaneously? We can’t use just one computer — we need tens, or hundreds, or maybe even thousands.

Two things struck me.

A) most developer's apps will be lucky to ever see 1000 users. The vast majority of apps are not written for companies with Google-sized audiences.

B) If your app needs 1000 servers for a million users Jesus shit balls do you have a problem.

Also, having read the article I'm still not even sure what polybit is. Maybe a paas? I'm not sure. So much use of the word cloud makes me unsure if it's real or a gag.

Not only are jobs being lost through robotics on factory floors, they will also be lost through self driving vehicles. Massive swathes of people are at the risk of facing unemployment, and I think it's going to catch a lot of people off-guard.

Increasingly to me a universal income guaranteed by the government seems like sensible policy to ease in sooner than later. I see no other option, lobbying to allow lower minimum wages or eradication of minimum wage to keep humans competitive against mass produced robotics and AI is quite frankly idiotic.

* copyleft license

Complete agree, it was stupid to move to the ODbL.

* vandalism

I've only seen once instance of serious vandalism -- I reported it on their IRC and it was updated within a few hours. And this was a mass attack by 4chan. I don't know if there's a practical way around this system. If people were vetted and had to wait before changes were accepted I think it would hurt contributions.

* Last use

I agree but all maps have the problem of getting outdated. Unless mapping is completely automated (drones+CV+ML? get on it HN) how would you avoid this?

* Inconsistent tagging

Yeah this sucks but you can deal with it at the application level usually

* Multipolygon areas

I haven't used OSM much recently but I know they did a decent overhaul with the site and the editor (the old editor was some flash tool I think). Dealing with complex polygons in software sucks so I understand why this is an issue. They should provide simple guidelines (CCW for the outside polys, CW for the inside polys), reject invalid polygons and provide a suggestion to go on IRC if they are having issues.

* Bezier curves

This is not a good idea. Why would you want to support bezier curves in map data? Its un-needed complexity. I could see support in an editor that then just creates an approximated poly line.

* One huge database

OSM is supposed to be a generic data set for many purposes. Some people might want hiking trails, others might want all the bus stops in a city, others may only want all the highways in a country, etc. Creating a system to extract and serve specific data would not only be complex it would be expensive. You'd need a lot of compute time. There are tools and tutorials for extracting what you need from the data set. There are also localized data sets available for many places (country, province/state etc).

* American volunteers

Yes its really strange that this is the case. Its impressive to see some of the places in Europe (like Germany!) and how rich the OSM data is and how active the community is compared to here. There are local meet ups in cities though where people get together and map stuff. If it interests you, you can always participate.

When KDE's git repositories had been corrupted, one server being out of sync was the only thing that saved it. ZFS could have saved it and as far as I know, one mirror administrator is using ZFS to protect KDE's git repositories against recurrences.

It wasn't the difference between desktop and mobile stacks that pushed most away, rather the breaking changes between WP 7, WP 8, WP 8.1 and WP 10. As explained recently on the Ars Technica article,

And as a developer I cannot really get why WP 10 is still so buggy (according to the reports) versus the already stable 8.1.
Victoria is wonderful if you can afford to pay a shocking amount of money for a condo/house or tolerate living in student-grade housing well into your thirties.

What would be the amount of users who use a proper password on the lock screen, instead of the pattern or a PIN? I bet the actual pattern space is very little for these and these are very guessable. How hard would it be to brute force these or even analyse the human fat on the screen to figure sth out?

I unlock and lock the phone very often, unlike a computer where I unlock once and lock when my session is done. Thus I opt for sth quick and convenient instead of a proper password. I'd like to have a little chip like a yubikey that I'd use with an ordinary pattern or pin, guess that'd be the best approach that's both convenient and secure.

Some people caught on earlier to the direction she was going (i.e., down). It was so alarmingly clear that some journalists even floated the idea that she may in fact be an agent of a competitor to bring Yahoo down. In other words, she was suspected of being an insider agent working for the other side.
The "nuclear family" is a modern construct. That's the point.

This is a good point. They're driven by advertising revenue (primary revenue) and collecting market data (to better target advertising, making them a good option for buyers of advertising). Social networks, chat, flight data, search, video watching (youtube), aggregated shopping data, all allow them to deliver advertising or collect data on users.

Looking at the services that have been killed over the years or stagnated, they don't allow enough data collection or ad delivery to justify spending money by Google. Either because they simply weren't well geared towards it, or because they didn't get enough uptake in the market.
If you have an Apple device you don't need to disable it: webcam video streams (aka getUserMedia()) isn't supported on Safari. On other browsers you always need to give permission before the camera is switched on.
It's a couple of things from what I've seen:

A) That she was paid so much money. A lot of people could have "not succeeded" for a lot less than what they paid her.

B) Her attitude. I have never dealt with her, and am only basing this on what I've read: She seemed to push a lot of bad policies, that made employees upset, with the attitude of "All of this pain is for the Great Reward of turning Yahoo around." Yet at the end of the day, it seems that their sacrifices were for nothing.

She talked big, but never delivered, and is making out quite successfully, for failing. Meanwhile the real brunt and struggle was pushed onto the employees.

EDIT: I also think this resonates with a lot of people, as most of us have had similar execs. "No, we can't afford another server, you'll just have to work harder. Guess you'll just have to work through the night! Oops, it's 5 p.m., time for me to head out to my company-paid steak dinner, in my company-paid car, then time to head home to my company-paid apartment!"
What are the non-fundamental forces?

If they are not fundamental, does that mean physicists suspect they are complex interactions of other, fundamental forces?
I've always suspected that people took that decision too much at face value. Yahoo needed to make staff cuts, and too many layoffs are bad for the share price. Convincing all the remote employees to quit lets you claim "there's a plan!" while quietly thinning the ranks. The catch is that it doesn't work if you state your real reasons.
It was basically a comment on the submission title -- Ken Thompson's famous attack has a counter that's been known about for a while. For the submission itself it's not as related as other commenters note they don't provide a way for the exploit to propagate like KT's attack. I'll have to read the full paper later but I wonder if it references https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/leet08/tech/full_papers/...
I'm probably being unreasonable on the tools, you're right that that Osmose is excellent.

> Automated fixing of them is generally pushed back against socially though. I think for good reasons. One is that a data user can do the automated fixes if they want to, so it's better to put human eyes on all the issues so that the ambiguous ones get fixed correctly. This is perhaps a conservative pov, the less ambiguous cases can probably be safely resolved with automation.

I just think that sporadic, automatic editing of the global dataset, without much (or any) pre-approval, doesn't make sense. Better that there was more effort put into coming to formal decisions, and that those decisions, when adopted, become official and consistently applied. To take a trivial example, if someone's going to collapse MacDonalds, Mcdonald's, McDonald's, "MacDonald's Restaurant" and 15 other permutations down to one spelling worldwide, that shouldn't be a decision to be made by one individual, posibly reversed if they really get out of line or end up making some bad mistake, and applied only once or sporadically, it would be better IMO to be debated up-front, approved or rejected as a formal policy, and maintained.

On wikipedia, I mean finding ways to couple their structure/geographical data with OSM, for instance if you have a building article on wikipedia, with structured data about construction date, architect, location, possibly 3D model, and similar and overlapping information about construction date, outline, entrances, etc on OpenStreetMap. Probably you'll never have an automatic coupling, but you could for instance have joint efforts to set shared conventions for the structure of the data, and constitency tools to point out where data is available in one but not the other, or disagrees between the two.
Not sure if you had a subset of audience in mind, but in the "Enterprise world" (However loosely we define it:), it's extremely uncommon.
The roles are highly delineated, and developers are usually insulated from underlying platform and technology. I've worked public sector, finance, retail, manufacturing, and have rarely seen a developer even interested in anything beneath a high-level programming language and SQL.
You know those algae blooms that block off all sunlight and kill a pond? Yahoo has that in the form of middle managers. Marissa's biggest (and perhaps even the only) mistake was to not get rid of this oxygen-depriving algae. Had she eliminated the middle-managers and meeting junkies, she could have liberated the engineers to actually deliver some solid products.

How can you assess a student who doesn't participate in assessment? It's not a moral judgment of the kid, but an observation that he didn't do the work that was going to be graded.

> Notably missing is support for merging, which ZFS does not have direct support for as far as I'm aware.

So, no replacement. Merge and Branch are the major features of git. The bigger the project the bigger the need for these. I know some projects where people work full time as merge conflict resolvers. Without git that would require a whole team instead of a person.

Not to nitpick but there's a typo. ;-)
Because people view source files using a multitude of means, and getting everybody across all their respective platforms to set things up is onerous.

When you mix tabs and spaces there's no way to get alignment correct. Indentation is fine, if that's all you ever use them for, but human behavior is non-deterministic and unenforceable, making for completely hosed up source when tabs are used for anything other than pure indentation. E.g., if you put a tab in for alignment, when you should have used spaces, your source file is hosed up.

Add on to that that many IDEs, editors, and build tool/tool hooks aren't smart enough to know when something is being indented vs. aligned, it's essentially impossible.

They've done this to me as well. Months ago a conversation with a medical key word I have never used in my life led to that key word being added to my "interests" on Facebook that evening (i groomed my interest tags to make FB more bearable at the time). That day I realised they must be listening somehow and uninstalled the FB app. Also, every time I add or update a phone contact on iPhone, I am asked to add my FB password - they are digging where they don't belong.
>It's actually smart of China to protect their tech sector from being steamrolled over.

Yet there's no homegrown Android, no Chinese OS, etc. Just lazy Linux distro derivatives and lots of pirating of Western software. I think you're overplaying the perceived benefit of protectionism.

Europe's lack of innovation has more to do with its high regulatory environment, high taxes, expensive labor entitlements, and anti-entrepreneurial attitudes. How well is protectionism working in Brazil, which has absurd import taxes? They need to import that things they can't make, which are significant, and Brazilians pay absurd tariffs on these goods.

The benefits of open and free markets are obvious.

>Xiaomi 4k model is $460.

Again, that's not the US price. There is no US price yet, or ever. The US/EU price will include import costs and patent/licensing fees for technology they are using. There's a reason you can't get Xiamo phones in the West. The DJI price includes all of that and the 4k Phantom 3 is $649.

I'm not sure what that has to do with it.

That struck many legal observers as odd, given that most lawyers seeking large payouts want to include claims that are insured against because doing so increases the chances of a settlement.

Lawyers seek large payouts? Isn't it the plaintiff that calls the shots? Hulk Hogan is already a millionaire (but not to the degree of the payout in this case), so it may not just be Peter Thiel that wanted Gawker to hurt. Some fairly damaging stuff about Hogan has surfaced because of the trial, which, surprise, was covered by Gawker[1] (and without a disclosure regarding the lawsuit until a later update).
