Buy a thunderbolt monitor and you'll then realize the benefits. I plug one cable in and I have two 34" monitors running at near 4K resolution, gigabit Ethernet, external storage, and a gamut of USB3 ports. Sure, a lot of that can be done with USB3, but not all. Thunderbolt performance is significantly higher too and the cable is very solid and durable.
You are correct. I've been trying to explain this very thing to people, but every #fsf, #gnu, /tech/ etc lay person just screams that I'm wrong and I'm and idiot, and I that I'm lying when I say I have a law degree and passed the bar etc.

I have contacted the SFConservancy in the chat room (#conservancy or irc.freenode.net ) as-well as by email (I don't know if that went through or straight to spam though, I didn't get a response yet). I don't assume that they have a lawyer in the chat room though, especially during the day I contacted them (was a holiday).

I encourage you and others to also contact them, to push this issue and show people care. Also if anyone is a linux code contributor, especially if they contributed a portion of code that is touched by grsecurity (grsecurity touches alot of things), you are a potential plaintiff.

Here is the log:
But how can you comfortably code on 11"?

Same here with FF 46 on Ubuntu.
The Pebble smartwatch has a feature like this as well. It tracks your sleep pattern and when you're not in deep sleep and your alarm is coming up within half an hour it'll start vibrating.

For someone who's very hard to wake up it seems to work well.
The American's case was that HSBC frequently circumvented the rules designed to prevent dealings with Burma, North Korea and Iran.
That they did not disclose tens of thousands of sensitive transactions when they should have.
That when setting up banks in Mexico they marked them as low risk when they should be marked as high.
That their Japanese branch accepted huge blocks of sequentially numbered travellers cheques that originated from Russia without applying any scrutiny.

Is all of the above just 'moving money for remittances firms'? Or is it the US govs propaganda, reprinted by the BBC?

Your comment just seems winding and lacking logic. First you argue that HSBC didn't really do anything wrong and then that the US gov didn't even want to prosecute them because they knew the consequences would be 'apocalyptic'. If these things are both true then why did HSBC settle out of court? Why did they publicly appologise? Why not just see the case through to save face and $1.9 billion.
As somebody who's had a dear internet friend die, let me tell you that yes, we'd miss you if you're gone!

I was (and still am) part of a tight community of people on IRC and one day we realized a guy in our group hadn't said anything for almost a month. He'd always been the quiet type of person who sometimes would go for a few days or even a week without saying anything, but it was really weird for us. These are all people I've been interacting with for years every day, we do know a lot about each other (although to varying degrees). We knew about this guy's name and some circumstantial social network presence, so we started to investigate and we eventually found out he had passed.

We all mourned him, and to this day still I regret the fact that it took us a month to realize he wasn't with us anymore (we initially thought he had gone on vacation, since it was summer).

In a few months it's going to be the 2nd anniversary of his death and we plan to write up something within our community to remember him, just like last year.
Gitter chat for russian-speaking Salesforce developers
I thank you Malux85, appreciate you pointing to an example project I can work on, most importantly, one that equally worked for you, per getting a job, which is one of my goals.
YouTube Red is not available everywhere (or even US-only at the moment, I think?) and Google Play Music is a completely unrelated (though excellent) service.

Also, YouTubers complain more about the comment system than the people commenting do. There's a reason many videos these days have comments disabled. There was also a lot of negativity when the comment system was changed as part of the Google+ rollout. The commenting system is really only useful for the channels when considered in aggregates -- there's barely any point in trying to hold individual conversations -- it's worse than Twitter. Maybe NLP and sentiment analysis could be used to build moderation/analytics tools to improve that use case.

The UI is nice but wonky. As a web developer myself I frequently look at YouTube as an example for what kind of sloppy UX you can get away with in a billion dollar flagship product. It's also gone through several even worse iterations (e.g. the dreaded keep-video-playing-when-you-navigate-away "feature" that was supposed to emulate the behaviour of the mobile app).

As an example for a current mis-feature of YouTube (i.e. something intentional they had to actually go out of their way to develop): volume and speed are saved (less or more reliably) and persisted globally and indefinitely if you change them. Listened to a couple of talks on 1.5x or 2x yesterday? Now all the music videos you're watching are sped up too. Had to turn the volume way up on that video podcast? Better turn it back down before the next video's incredibly loud conference jingle comes up.

These features as they are only make sense if you use YouTube for precisely one thing and one thing only. The second you approach it with different use cases the features become annoying and distracting.
PaaS and SaaS are here to stay. Whole industries are moving systems into SaaS solutions - the overhead of running data centers, OSes plus dealing with software upgrades is just too much.

What is happening right now that the market is shaking out the winners and the losers - Marketo has failed to keep track, Adobe and SFDC MarketingCloud (Exacttarget) have eaten their lunch.

Getting acquired is not a goal, it is failure. The good SaaS ones are standing on their own. ServiceNow, SFDC, etc.
The problem with church is that it demands submission in exchange for community. Not only believe this way, but dress this way, eat this way, vote this way, and if you're in any way different you're as cut off as you would be if you stayed home, and if you're having hard times you must have done something to deserve it.

I'm from Ohio so it may be different up here, but that's my experience.
The augmented leads (aVR, aVL, and aVF) require a minimum of three electrodes (multiple electrodes are connected to ground).

An electrode on each arm gives you Lead I.

Lead I is not as useful as Lead II, but it's still plenty useful for diagnosing all sorts of cardiac issues (there's a lot more that can go wrong with your heart than just an MI).
In rural US I pay 45 Euros for 30GB/month. In the city I get about 1mb/s, but in the countryside I can get 40mb/s.
How can you honestly think that after reading this thread?

The parent comment may or may not be correct (I honestly don't know), but author makes it really, really clear what his logic is, and it's nothing like it.

If you came to such a conclusion, it means that you skimmed through the comments above in 2 seconds, and not even trying to understand what was actually written.
I do get the block message with uBlock Origin. I don't have uMatrix installed though, perhaps that is blocking it?

This is really interesting, and takes me back to a few months ago, when I tried to read the FB Newsfeed from the console.
I did it more crudely, but I lack the knowledge the OP has, especially seeing how to integrate with React.

I had had an idea for a nice iOS app, which would in part rely on listing Facebook posts from your friends. I thought this would be easy enough, so I designed it before I prototyped, which is something I never do.

Sure enough, when I had finished the design and finally got to prototyping, I realised that Facebook simply no longer allow access to the read_stream API endpoint, unless you get authorisation from them (seems like no one does). Info here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissi...

Fuelled by ingenuity, and because I had the design ready, I thought I'd try and simply load the user's news feed on a UIWebView, and read the data I need from elements in the DOM. I'm pretty sure this is against FB's ToS and wouldn't fly for long, but I kind of want to give it a go anyway.

I got to a place where I proved it works, but not always reliably and it's certainly hacky.

If you want to give it a go, load up https://m.facebook.com on your favourite browser, and then copy/paste + run the JS code in this jsFiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/Letwernb/), to your console.

It'll list whatever posts it finds on your feed, and give you some info on them. I believe at the moment I'm skipping ads and not so relevant posts, such as "friend shared a link".

I've also got a bit of code that lets me load more posts, until I've reached the 20 I need to display in the app. This is hackier still.

I've got some challenges though. Like I said, it's hacky and relies on FB not changing certain class names, and because the date for each post comes as a string ("2 hours ago"), I need to find a way to convert that back to a timestamp so I can re-order the posts.

Maybe there's an easier way to do what I was trying to, using a similar approach as the one described in this article?
I'd hope so, as it is my native tongue.
Years ago I worked at a place where I didn't know what the company did. I knew they made physical products (had a factory in the building) that had some sort of industrial use. However I didn't have the very specific domain knowledge to understand what those products did and my job didn't depend on it. My team was the only software team not writing firmware - we worked on the intranet. It didn't help that all conversations were filled with jargon.

"Every job I've ever applied to in the tech world asks for a LinkedIn"

I've never seen any job that asked for a LinkedIn account, nor am I acquainted with anyone who ever got a job through a LinkedIn account. While there are undoubtedly exceptions, I don't personally know of any. In fact, that's why I left LinkedIn (long before I left Twitter and GitHub) -- way too much company spam, not enough actual usefulness.

"Realize, too, that the ability to "leave" these services is something of a privilege"

Is there anything that isn't a "privilege" nowadays?

"It's hard to explain your free speech objections on your intro letter."

There's no need to "explain" anything. Just refer them to your own public code repo, which any programmer worth his or her salt should be able to set up in a short time using an Amazon S3 bucket and one of the many utilities that exist for manipulating those buckets. Presumably the company you're applying to just wants to see some code samples. There's nothing magical about GitHub.
Sure, but consumer/customer re-education is required and usually underestimated. Attrition due to change is a real thing.

Ha! Thank you!

Didn't mean that to sound so gloomy, just wanted to point out that reading text from a person is also a form of isolation for both people.

There are a lot of people that I've interacted with over the years that I haven't heard from in a long time. Our only contact was email or texting. Their text number stopped working a long time ago, and emailing them results in no response at all.

This is not a situation where folks are angry at each other, just slowly drifting apart.

Are they alive or dead? Beats me.

maybe 13% is enough to evade content id, you need at least 25% to make it sound good.

Sadly many have become disillusioned with the church and conflate the "Community" grass roots social aspect with the "Institutional" aspect. It is this latter aspect that has let so many down over the years. I'm not going to get into the whys and wherefores but in a great many social settings people feel betrayed by organisations - erstwhile held in the greatest of esteem and thus - trusted with some of the most sensitive activities of society. It's difficult as an enlightened individual to be lectured to about spirituality by somebody who is standing on a shaky moral platform themselves. Then there's the wilful ignorance of evident truths because they conflict with some (likely well meaning) prescription written by somebody in a far away place and a long time ago ...
Should try New Hampshire... just slightly north of Boston so you get a lot of the benefits of being adjacent to the city but a lot nicer place to settle down in a lot of ways (lower cost of living, newer and more affordable housing, etc). And it still very much has an innovation atmosphere. In fact, there is a talent pool of people who commute down to Boston every day that would love to shorten that commute.

Nashua and Manchester New Hampshire are roughly the same distance from Boston as Providence, Rhode Island (which also has a tech scene) but I'd rather live their than Rhode Island.
I think you should try

I'm afraid that train has left the station (sorry for the pun). All the construction infrastructure is gone, and in half a year, there will be hundreds of trains thundering through the tunnel every day. The Porta Alpina was economically questionable to begin with, but now it would just be non-sensical.

(Saying this as someone from a region that would have had an immense benefit of the Porta Alpina station)
> # There is a reason NASA only approves thinkpads in space - ask yourself why your laptop is not being used by astronauts ?

That's amazing, I never knew that. I loved my old Thinkpad T42, got a good 4 years out of it before the hinge on the screen broke.

I thought that was impressive too, given how poorly I treat my equipment. It fell out of my bag numerous times but never had any problems except for the screen hinge finally wearing down at a corner from overuse.

Then I got a 2010 MacBook Air. I'm still using it today. It's got numerous dents on top, bottom and all corners, and a small crack at the bottom of the screen (which strangely hasn't resulted in any dead pixels), but otherwise it's still in full working order. I remain hugely surprised at how well it's lasted.

Despite the general consensus of Macbooks being very well built, and Thinkpads being built like tanks, this anecdote is definitely the opposite way around.

Now if I could get a nipple on a Macbook, or a decent trackpad on a nippled-Thinkpad, I'd have found my perfect laptop!
Yes. Exactly this.

If you're communicating with somebody on a regular basis in person, and they die? You mourn, you send flowers. Hell, you might even go to the funeral home, even if it was in another town.

If it's online? You can go weeks or months and be clueless. And then when you do find out, you feel like you were robbed of something. Something important.
I was genuinely surprised that they use that phrase - what does socialism mean in that context? The NHS, opposition to zero hour contracts, basic human decency?
> If you're so worried about earthquakes, you're more than welcome to leave the Bay yourself.

What an inane response.
I've thought about this a lot, and I agree with you. I'm a pretty devout Atheist (is that the right term?), but I do recognize the social role that churches play and I wish there was some similar secular organization that could fill that role. Or course there are hobby and special interest groups, but I can't think of just a general gathering where everyone is a regular and friendly like my church was growing up.
What do you want to do?

Without the above info I'd say download Unity and Unreal Engine, see which one suits you the best and make what you want to make.

Get a cheap DK2 off Ebay if you do not have a HMD yet, or go the phone route like sharemywin suggested.
I think they mean without setting up a VCS server. You still need for the 2 machines to be able to access each other somehow, usually ssh (which is technically a server), or a file server (NFS, samba, which is also technically a server), but, many people have one or both of those running already running. If so it's just

git clone ssh://name@addressOrNameOfMachine/path/to/repo

or

git clone path/to/shared/folder

etc...
Churches tend to be all shapes and sizes. The traditional ones are usually closer to what you're describing but there are many that are more low key to avoid exactly what you are describing.
The only new idea this article has is giving a cute name to something thats been going on for ages.

Assigning malice to the people who understand how to work within the technical debt on a project is age-old programming nonsense. It was - and continues to be - a stupid thing to do.

This article just makes it a bit more conspiratorial, and re-writes the old story to become less falsifiable. Rather than accuse someone of simply being counterproductive to protect their job security, the fault is found in their ego and subconscious actions.

It's comforting to find a way to frame a problem such that you can blame a person for holding out. But the barrier to entry on a codebase is just another form of technical debt. It's no fun to accept that codebases evolves in such a way to accumulated debt, or that the development plan might have even accelerated that accumulation for other short term goals. It's doubly no fun to think about scheduling developers to pay down that debt.
I design my own t-shirts. I like them to deliver my own message. Custom t-shirt printing industry is godsend.
Churches are definitely a great community resource, but I imagine that many people (myself included) don't want to be preached something we don't believe in every week even if it means losing out on those community benefits. I wonder if something else could be established, or even if such a thing as "athiest/agnostic churches" could be organized.
I wish, I could take back my upvote, because it's just v3.0 BETA and not the final release.
It's so difficult to find a church that (a) values community, and (b) hasn't made some kind of big, public decision against LGBTQ people. And that doesn't preach guilt and condemnation in a thousand overt or subtle ways…
I don't see it?

I'm probably using the most aggressive blocking setup possible, though: I have a bunch of filter lists, I don't ever make exceptions to them, and instead deny all scripts and 3rd party resources, then graylist by hand (using the matrix).

The tents of the Arabian rulers that they used when traveling were very luxurious. So it very much depends - the variety in the comforts of (and inside) such structures is as big as in houses. Trucks are usually more limited in the layout and in space, but of course there are multi-million dollar "rolling homes" trucks too.

Without having seen the concrete truck, I think I would still always prefer this tent:

Someone in DHH's position could approach jQuery and request a subset containing what he needs. And then other projects could benefit from the refactor.

If there's even a benefit. This same post by the leader of any other project would involve a study of which components and apps use jQuery. And would state how far back compatibility is to be maintained.

So, for example, if commonly used gems require it, or if 90+% of the rails apps in the field require jQuery for other reasons, then this is just code churn for no benefit.

And why is this even a "rewrite"? You can suck the relevant lines of code out of jQuery and call it done. This is not a "Summer of Code" length endeavor.

Interestingly that's a lot less the case in Japanese media IME. E.g. Honey and Clover concludes (spoilers) with Hagu deciding to pursue her art instead of a romantic relationship, which I can't imagine happening in a western movie or tv show.
Oh, total agreement there. I've gone to apps that allow backups/exports (1Password currently) specifically because of this.
I did. Well, I didn't ask the main QA site as questions about specific sites would be off-topic. I did ask chat (the H Bar) but didn't get much of a response. An hour on HN and my server log says several people have loaded the game and one made it to level 5, so we're doing better here already.

No, I wasn't suggesting that you could implement the same high-performance System.String in IL, especially considering the assembly language used. I was just saying that there are many other things that can't be done in C# but are possible in .NET, using other languages.

BTW there is a typo: "passed in my the calling code" should probably be "passed in by the calling code".

I wonder if the new C# 6 string interpolation also uses string builder like format does. e.g.

$"Name = {name}, hours = {hours:hh}"

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Dn961160.aspx

This post seems to suggest it uses concatenation, which may be bad for performance in some situations due to the immutability.

I updated the nightly to 3.0.something, but didn't see any visible changes. Although I have no idea what I have, that the stable versions don't.
"demands submission in exchange for community" - that's a fantastic way of phrasing it. I'll be using that in the future :-)
The dangerous problem is that it isn't the government who subsidizes rents, it's everyone else. If the subsidy were visible (the government writing a check to landlords) people would raise hell. Instead it's a hidden subsidy. The housing costs and rents of everyone goes up (including low-income income people) except for the lucky few who win the subsidized housing lottery.

The intent of low income housing is laudable, but the execution causes more problems than it solves.
Maybe Switzerland? Direct democracy (kind of) sounds like best bet...
This is the second time I've seen"taxation of land" in this thread as if the dirt my house is sitting on has the ability to write checks to the local government. I might be missing something, but all tax revenue ultimately comes from profits, or the difference between our value of something and its cost. That difference requires someone's labor. Even if there's a ton of gold under my house, someone has to dig it up, process it and find buyers. You might not think I'm entitled to 100% of the profits, but it's naive to think you're somehow not taxing labor.
You may get more feedback if you upload the Java source to GitHub and make it easy to compile and run locally. I wasn't able to run the applet with the default settings in Safari, Chrome, nor Firefox and asking people to make their browsers less secure to test this is probably going to turn a lot of people off.
