I've noticed that at McDonald's in the past (though not recently). A time would start as soon as the employee starts on your order, and stops once you're given your change. The five minutes I waited getting up to the counter is ignored, as is the 1-2 minutes waiting for my order to be assembled. So I've spent 7-8 minutes waiting, and the POS machine is insulting me with the display "service time 40 seconds".

Try a framework that doesn't make you follow big conventions and allows your freedom and flexibility. Try playing around with some micro-frameworks like Flask using Python 3x. Plug in SQLalchemy, a brilliant ORM that uses the data mapper pattern - a very big change from the active record pattern and great for flexibility.
They've historically done all pre-orders on Kickstarter and were one of the first massively-successful projects to come out of it (and they shipped, too!). I'd assume it's entirely due to marketing and the ability to maximize pre-order sales.
The fact that the site doesn't tell anything about the framework, nor it showcases it. It's megabytes and scrolling for nothing except a actual paragraph of content. [1]

Ubuntu has that as an install-time feature, but then Ubuntu is definitely not Debian.

Then again, Debian isn't really either given the systemd fiasco that is Jessie.

How has that whole debacle impacted you? I still have several squeeze(or whatever oldstable / jessie-1 is) boxes that I'm loathe to upgrade, and considering just biting the bullet and switching to either Ubuntu, which has a more mature systemd seutp, or some other distro entirely (OpenSUSE seems to be the place to be when it comes to bleeding edge secure rolling releases), but the familiarity I have for Debian continues to make that difficult to make the leap.
The Kickstarter claims that it has 4GB of internal storage that you can load podcasts/audiobooks on.

Besides that they say the Core runs "unlocked" Android 5.0, so I'd imagine you can load it up with whatever you like.
My understanding of distributed commit/reveal RNGs is they need some sort of incentive mechanism. Otherwise, its trivial for an attacker to flood the network with lots of commits and only reveal the ones that give him a useful outcome.

While very interesting, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that wishes India (and all of humanity, really) success in its space program, this is a very long way from launching a crew-rated vehicle. Nor is the design particularly astonishing or a real technical advance (for that, the private space firms seem to be the ones moving forward). Yet another country trying to get humans to LEO, which we pretty much figured out a half-century ago, and then inexplicably stopped doing, just makes me sad. How about a real, concerted effort for crew-rated heavy lift that can escape Earth? That can escape Earth/Moon? That can provide crew life support for multi-month missions? You know, the stuff I was promised as a kid in the 60s?

It's a test bed. Likely a simpler/cheaper solution to the infrastructure for simulation, bench testing, aerodynamic testing, etc. that isn't as available in India as in the US. Clearly some marketing/PR value, as well. Edit - It also gives them an opportunity for all-up testing of mission communications, ground control, pad operations, etc. The US and USSR already had ample real experience with that by the time the Shuttle and ISS programs came around, but other countries do not.

> But, there are lifestyle and "spiritual" things that can be done to help treat depression

(I am the OP on going through loss and sadness and not being depressed.)

Yes 100% correct. Just like if you have heart disease or a bad back their are non-medical activities that will help those medical condition. My statement is that their is a medical piece that people discount and/or actually dismiss. A person can't just "fix themselves" and having the medical piece help them with treatment with counseling is a big help. Depression isn't that your sad.

Depression Definition: Clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for weeks or more.

Symptoms of depression include:

Low mood or irritable mood most of the time

Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

A big change in appetite, often with weight gain or loss
Tiredness and lack of energy

Feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and guilt

Difficulty concentrating

Slow or fast movements

Lack of activity and avoiding usual activities

Feeling hopeless or helpless

Repeated thoughts of death or suicide

Lack of pleasure in activities you usually enjoy, including sex

Where are they doing that? I see nothing the like in the article. Only that this was the first time they did a test of that scale, not that there was anything preventing them from doing it earlier.
I realized I was constantly programming services that would be run on Linux servers, through a Linux container dev environment, running on a Linux VM running on Windows. I finally just cut out the middle man and installed Linux (Fedora w/ GNOME3) and it was the best decision I ever made.

I might try "bash on windows" but there have been compatibility layers like this for years and there are always drawbacks. For instance it'll be years before this can be considered stable for production, so this is purely for developers. As most developers know, when you go to deploy on a production machine things don't always work the way you expected them to because the production environment is slightly different than your development environment. If your development environment is a frankenstein OS with different parts sewn together to make it work then it's going to just add further complication to the process (Will a Linux service interface with a windows service?).

My workflow involves spinning up containers (usually gentoo) on a remote server for each new project and just sshing into them and using vim and other cli tools to build projects. This has been the most superior workflow I've found. I can use a light laptop for pretty much everything because a remote server does all the hard work.

I know many developers who use this workflow and for large projects that require powerful computational resources this is essential.

The only reason I see to use Windows for development is if you were developing Windows desktop apps and I don't know anyone who's building new windows desktop apps, most people are targeting mobile. Those who do work on Windows desktop apps are usually maintaining something that's been around for years. There are a few other reason to use Windows over a unix or unix-like OS but most of them come down to Microsoft and other companies releasing proprietary software which is locked into their ecosystem, and I'd like to avoid software like that.

Also I'd just like to add that I never realized how bad fonts were on Windows until I tried other operating systems. If MS wants to attract developers they need to fix their fonts. IMO this is even more important than a Linux compatibility layer because all I do is stare at text all day.

>I wonder what impact of 20 more characters would be in terms of hardware and bandwidth at Twitter's scale.

I'm sure they're concerned less with the technical impact than the risk of changing the product somewhat drastically. The char limit is a fundamental aspect of twitter. It forces people to create curt, easily digestible content. Expanding that limit might have pretty bad side effects, such as people communicating the same message they would have in 140 chars, but more verbosely (which weakens the product).

Or are you saying that French government spends enough already and thus Google should avoid paying taxes if they don't feel like it?
Yeah, I think it was pretty good. I still don't think anyone has a perfect explanation of open source economics and business yet, so for the time, especially, it was good.

Large chunks of the security field seem to love nothing better than to have something to sneer at, but there's a grain of truth in that phrase too. Remember when that Rails vulnerability came out a while back? It was like blood in the water for the sharks, and a lot of people started looking for more. Critically, yes, they were also the right people to be looking at it, but the influx of people looking brought to light other things, making the whole system more secure.

Me neither. Maybe it's the power of suggestion, but I see subtle and unsubtle references all over that ad now that it's been pointed out to me.

> where people have some luxury money

The problem is that when autocratic state have new wealth (via taxing the people you are talking about) they almost always invade their neighbors or at least try to annex some land or settle an old dispute via force. Saddam with Kuwait, Russia with Ukraine, and China with the Spratly islands are obvious examples. It doesn't matter that some Chinese bureaucrat can afford an iPhone if it means we get world instability, war, and unneeded aggression in exchange. The West is probably looking at another shooting war with either of these countries sooner or later due to their unilateral aggression against our allies. Is a precious, precious iPhone worth that to you?

It seems like we lifted them out of poverty too quickly. They didn't develop democratic institutions, legitimate multiparty politics, a fair judiciary, human rights, international cooperation, etc. This is like handing a 15 year old a brand new Ferrari and acting surprised when he manages to crash it and kill someone.

That's what I thought, an upgraded and packaged version of Photon & Electron[1].

But Pebble needs to get serious about openness if they want this thing to catch on. There are already dozens of companies trying this on Ali-Express, Indie-Gogo, Kickstarter, etc.

It is not enough to be "developer friendly", they need an API that gives open access to all the hardware, including Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS controllers. They promised an Bluetooth LE API on Pebble for the end of 2015 and we have nothing so far.

Kyle, this is correct. We use containers simply to create the environment in which we'll execute the script commands in isolation. You can start with a small container and install dependencies during the run or you can prepare a bigger container with the dependencies installed already.

There is nothing in nazism that is about unifying the EU, just as there is nothing in right-wing skepticism that is about a superior race.

Thats the point. Just like the fact that the nazis did have a dream of a unified europe also politically doesn't have anything to do with the EU we see today, the fact that some right wing party was started by someone with nazi sympathy does not mean thats why people vote for them today.

I don't know how to make the argument much clearer to you.

Trying to make legacy code run faster through horrible compiler hacks rather than fixing the legacy code is a deal with the devil. The net result of that strategy is a horrible pile of hacks, many of which are there fore no reason other than to undo the deleterious effects of previous hacks. The long-term cost of maintaining all that complexity is far greater than the cost of just doing the Right Thing in the first place. Nowadays there is absolutely no excuse for continuing to use languages with built-in design compromises that were put in simply because the compiler had to fit in 64k of RAM. People keep doing it because doing the Right Thing front-loads the cost. But another name for "front loading costs" is "making an investment" which is generally considered a Good Thing in other walks of life. But for some reason, not in software.

> There's no way to know GCHQ/NSA aren't running 90%+ of bridges and exit relays

Yes there is. There are currently 857 exit nodes. The Tor Project only has to personally know who runs 86 of them to ensure that 90% of the exits are not run by the NSA.

In fact, since ~90% of traffic exits through the top ~260 relays, they'd only need to know 27 of the people who run those.
The 'visible union' rule is generally understood as meaning that the union type must be part of the access expression. Any other interpretation that only requires the union to be in scope would pretty much render TBAA moot for any non trivial program.

And yes, this rule is part of the reason the current TBAA rules are such a mess. There is an outstanding C issue to clarify the wording here but the C commitee is severely under capacity.

There are proposed C++ wordings that clarify this rule in addition to generally clarify lifetimes and TBAA (while still being far from settling the issue, mind you). These wordings also introduce std::launder(), a function that bless some of the type punning tricks by explicitly informing the compiler about what's going on.
