So much incorrect in the above I don't know where to start... what "aforementioned company" are you talking about? You imply it's a company that "own(s) the OpenOffice code, and the name", but it's the ASF that "owns these" not whatever company you seem to be implying.

I would suggest getting your facts right before posting things... it makes one look kinda foolish.
My work proxy is blocking most of the page's JS/CSS resources, which are being served from a different domain that our firewall doesn't approve of for some inane reason.
I understand your sentiment. But I think as a society we have allowed the legal system to evolve in a way that only Bullies will become and thrive as cops and narcissist jerks will become public prosecutors. They are problem but they are more of a side-effect of we not standing up for other people's liberty.
So, if traffic numbers are EXACTLY the same (as noted) but less people click on a single button, you've "lost those users"? Doesn't make any sense to me. You've lost interaction with a button from your unchanged user base. Like you said yourself, click conversion from your users changed. Users changing interaction ≠ losing users

If you had lost 50% of your users, you would have half of the overall site traffic that you had last time.
I didn't know much about the ASF until they took in (Apache) Groovy last year, into the incubator in May and as a top-level project in November. ASF bent or broke many of their standards to accommodate Groovy...

Most Groovy links at apache.org redirect to groovy-lang.org, which is privately owned by a single individual. He also keeps his own mailing list which he claims has more subscribers than the official Groovy users list at Apache. Access to the old mailing list history was obscured and made difficult. The Groovy build system mainly runs on a separate server somewhere in Germany, with only minimal interaction with the Apache process. The Groovy brand was changed from referring to a spec to referring to their particular implementation, something which I challenge.

Based on that sample size of 1, I wouldn't be suprised if ASF bent or broke their standards to accommodate many other projects they take in.
The conversion ratio would hold if they ate the same things. Cows can survive on grass, which is often plentiful. Chickens more so on grains, which are harder to come by.
UAC is not sudo, but works very well.

For some values of well. If you logon interactively and start a powershell session, you do not have administrative powers and cannot get them without opening a new shell. If you logon via PS remoting, you have administrative powers by default and cannot lose them.

UAC is a GUI kludge, and is very grating especially in Powershell.
At least with Fi you have a phone that would work with any other carrier, unlike a connected home device that would be bricked if the product was cut.
haha isn't that a good thing?
This makes no financial sense. You would be better to eat the chicken feed yourself (corn/grains) and get x50 more caloric value for your money.
I remember reading that story ages ago! Poor Mosom.

You piqued my curiosity - just made one by extracting the syscall dispatch table from lxcore.sys and placing it alongside the Linux syscall list: https://goo.gl/QHGe1U

A lot of coverage there, but interesting to see which ones aren't yet implemented, at least in the recent build 14342.

(I used Filippo Valsorda's work from https://filippo.io/linux-syscall-table as the Linux syscall data source.)
Interesting, I wonder how much overhead is added to syscalls to look up the process type. Does NT still do this check when no WSL processes are running?
> I almost feel like I am writing code at some points

I have this theory that the game designer(s?) actually took some pages from a multithreaded programming book and turned them into a game. A kind of meta-game.

Items are messages, transport belts are buffers with blocking writes, factories are actors, scheduling is roundrobin with preemption. Flying robots are a metaphor for references. Everything is as a pull model, and you can see the backpressure progating up the chain.

I'd love to see the implementation. I bet there is no modeling, everything directly mapped to some core programming primitive.
I definitely want a more civilized reddit. Unlimited upvotes encourages people to upvote thoughtlessly (see pun/joke threads dominating every post), and being able to freely downvote is rewarding to an unpleasant sort of person.

The fact that reddit is killing private forums makes me sad, because those forums almost always have a much higher level of discourse and personal responsibility.
I think the author misspelled, should be "Homo Baggins", not quite sure what is the "Homo Floresiensis" about!

Hey, i wrote this thing.

We actually have a gun (we call it the same) setup in our shop and use it extensively alongside this.

We provide quite a bit more of analysis than you can achieve by adjusting the catch net of the gun and using the stick thing on the rim for make miss. We can determine if your shot was a clean make vs a make, bank shot, and other things the article mentions. Together they are a pretty solid training setup.
Because with the app, they can harvest these valuable commodities:

Device and app history

Identity

Location

Photos

Media

Files

Camera access

WiFi info

Device ID

Call information

The above makes it far easier to productize you.

I was actually pretty impressed by Dwarf Fortress's use of the extended ASCII set (or whatever the technical name is). Most of the non-creature symbols were easy enough to guess based on appearances.
There are both free and commercial X servers for Windows, and you can get a linux app running under WSL to work with one of those X servers very easily. I played with it a little bit and it worked fine.
We built our app (Dugout FC) in RN for iOS and implemented Android about 3 months after the Android RN stuff was released. Performance was ok (and getting better with later RN versions) and it has a > 4 star rating in the play store.

Totally love React Native. Unless you are doing something pretty unusual, I can't see a reason not to choose it over native dev.
The problem is that to some degree, shorter is more readable, but only where it allows easy interpretation of intent or allows more state to be visible at a time. Like most good things when taken to extremes, the positives are quickly outweighed by the negatives.

Keeping names informative is a good thing. Keeping names small enough that you don't have to scan across half a page when they are used is a good thing. Keeping thunk definition separate from control structures where it is used, when it's more than a line or two is generally a good thing. Finding the sweet spot when these and many other rules conflict is where experience comes in, and is part of the art of programming.
> Wages rose 2.5 percent over the past year, which isn't rapid but does indicate that companies are starting to compete for hard-to-get workers.

So, not really.
Sure.
However, note the supreme court has not, AFAIK, held a right to sue in general:

http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/right-to-sue

They have essentially grounded these claims in due process violations, etc, and then found a right to file those lawsuits. Not a right to sue for anything.

When they have tried to find rights in the right to petition (and i will grant that historically, it included a right to sue), it has been cases where someone is directly trying to affect a constitutional right.

Also nobody has to give a damn about what you say:

"Nothing in the First Amendment or in this Court's case law interpreting it suggests that the rights to speak, associate, and petition require government policymakers to listen or respond to communications of members of the public on public issues."

Although I appreciate that you're sharing something interesting, I can't believe you when you say the problem to tinker with networking, TCP and DNS was the lack of playgrounds.

Any home LAN is a playground. Internet is a playground. GNS3 for Cisco stuff. Linux itself is a playground (I have been playing today with StrongSwan, Quagga and SoftEther!). If you just want a network simulator, there's Packet Tracer. Of course you could also just fire up tcpdump and/or Wireshark and have a look. Many of the things I've mentioned are free :-)
At the end of the day Discord is a chat for gamers and gaming so features like that and searchable history aren't implemented yet because they're not things gamers usually use. They'll come eventually though.

What a great book! I wish they'd publish a new edition (the latest was ten years ago).

Has anything as good been released since? What is the current "standard reference" on DNS and BIND?
Funny thing about Eve is that once you start playing it you realize it's... actually pretty "normal".

It's like the Australian Outback, you hear so many terrifying stories that you just assume every single thing in that place wants to kill you, but plenty of things live there.

Just like in Eve, your life in space will be pretty standard fare 99% of the time, even moving out to nullsec can be actually quite a... dare I say, mundane affair.

But it's that 1%... oh man, that 1%. The feuds, the rivalries, the deception, the betrayal.

It's almost like CCP are playing a cosmic version of Dwarf Fortress and the capsuleers are their dwarves.
> Possibly, but I think you underestimate the effort required to create and distribute a toolchain that would become shared and standardized.

Not really, because we're already doing it. It's definitely hard, but it's also definitely possible.

ember-cli has unlocked major community-wide sharing that is otherwise not possible. Like a healthy addon ecosystem (https://emberobserver.com) where things are far more likely to _just work_.

And this has kicked off a virtuous cycle. Big engineering organizations with long-term vision are joining in.

> become their "standardized" toolchain.

That's exactly the problem: once you create _your own_ standardized toolchain, you are the only one who can document it, teach it, ensure other things are compatible with it, and integrate upstream upgrades. When a community works together to decide on a much broader set of standardization, that burden is shared and everybody goes faster. And developer knowledge is much more portable.

Nobody making iOS apps thinks it's smart or necessary to write their own XCode. People writing ambitious web apps shouldn't either. (And I say that as someone who finds XCode annoying -- it's _still_ better than trying to build it yourself from scratch for each app).
And, on top of that, the new options make you think that you're the alternative. Instead of saying "hey, great, I can get a free icon!" you only notice that you could also get a fast-track or custom (whatever those mean), and you can't help but think "free for share" is the lowest priority thing.

Also, that entire page was impossible to parse. I had to go to their main webpage to even try to understand the concept of what they're doing ,and try to put the page snippets in context. Page snippets on a white background, placed over another white background, are confusing as hell.
Brutalism isn't "making things look ugly," it's using building-block type materials in architecture. It comes from the French word for "raw."

>Routing tables do not contain individual IP addresses so if you are a "normal" ISP consumer chances are you will be in a block that is in the top 10%.

My home IP falls into a slash /22 block I can see in the global routing table. It's highly unlikely that this particular 1000ish IP addresses are responsible for enough traffic on the internet to make top 10%. Top 10% is going to basically be a bunch of hosting providers and CDN prefixes.
I really liked this. Understanding what the AI is doing is usually something that comes with experience and a bit of analysis, but a good visualization can act as a shortcut to intuition.
And this one in particular was nicely designed.
I understand, but maybe if you're blogging for the purpose of political dissidence you could look elsewhere? Home-grown authentication adds a lot of overhead to web apps, so it makes sense to hand that off to one or more standardized identity management systems.
In some cases it doesn't even connect with TLS due to some connection issue with GitHub / fastly and you need to set it to flexible (no encryption). I wonder if this new forced HTTPS redirect will change/break that?

I haven't quite worked out the rules yet but some GH pages allow full TLS on CF (but not strict cert validation obviously) and some require flexible. I think org pages need flexible (plain HTTP) but project ones support HTTPS (if on a subdomain)?

This update may change all that so will need to experiment again. If it does break things then any new sites after the 15th may not be able to be made to work. If using a CF page rule or HSTS headers to permanently redirect to HTTPS then this could be a problem.
I had that same "wtf does that even mean" reaction. It reeked of fiddling.

Why guess when you can just sniff the network for the sequence?

Port knocking requires the network that you're using to knock is in fact as secure and trusted as the one you're knocking. So there's really no point as you could easily just limit SSH access to that network and save yourself all the bother and risk.
I once played around with it, seemed pretty cool indeed. But i guess it can still do much better when they have more data for training.
CSV is stupid format. XML, JSON, YAML are better to read and easier to parse/validate. After compression these formats takes similar amount of space or even less when cross-referencing.

CSV, tab-delimited files and in general flat files are retarded idea to be used in banking. I know because I work for bank, these are source of all misery.
Cygwin is layered above Win32. Win32 has no provision to nicely handle forks. So even if there was an NT API fork syscall (I'm don't think there is on Windows 10, WSL does not use the NT API, there is not any more Posix/SFU/{Whatever Unix NT classic subsys of the day} as far as I know), this would not go anywhere.
Back in the 2007-2010 era of websites, somebody mentioned that "ugly" websites work.

Yes, and they were wrong for any meaningful sample of websites. You can point to ugly yet hugely successful websites but that ignores the millions of ugly, failed websites that have long since stopped serving visitors. And equally, there are examples of beautiful sites that work and beautiful sites that didn't.

How good a website looks has a short term impact on how it's perceived, but great content (where "content" has a lot of different meanings) is always more important. That's true regardless of how much effort you spend on design.
Interesting that they cost about the same {"the-gun": 4750 , "noahlytics": 4800} + subscription @ $100/mo. Possibly a competitive pricing scenario for high school program adoption.

I also see a key feature being the tracking of performance over multiple sessions. Noahlytics will likely answer: who is shooting the best this week? May impact starting line-ups for coaches, etc.
That is a good origin story! I would contend though that it was the performing of the data analytics on himself (which helped keep it top of mind and helped him to develop an internal model) that was the most helpful. People simply using the app may find it less so. (Not trying to dump on the product, merely giving my thought processes when I decided not to in the past).
The one thing I always tell anyone on the job hunt, which few ever seem to take me up on: Informational Interviews.
These are informal "can I take you out to coffee?" talks with people in your industry to see what they are working on, what is happening with them, what is going on in the industry. Every job I have ever gotten is through informal meetings with people I have met through my network (whether its the current newspaper, your friends, parents, relatives, or other).

At the end of every one I ask: "Is there anyone else you think I should talk to?" and "Do you currently have any opportunities at your company for me?". Rinse repeat.

I guarantee investing in 30 informational interviews will yield huge dividends vs. 30 career fairs, a personal pitch deck, starting a blog, dusting off your resume, or God Forbid: applying to jobs through Linkedin.

Looks like you learned the hard way about hovering over to expose features. If you've got touch screen users those features will be virtually useless as well.

One thing that would have been cool to see your writeup would be how you used direct customer feedback. Maybe it was none at all, but I suspect talking to customers (or even internal employees) helped you reach some of the conclusions you made. It's really difficult to look at a graph and go, yes this is the thing that caused the change.
It's been tried and failed. See [1].

I have no idea. Those are very different concepts and approaches (closed vs open source).
The way chickens are raised today, you'd be insane to raise chickens.

Chickens of the old, roamed the grass, picking little shits that no one could find or eat, growing slowly but steadily, surviving and mating.

Today, they gorge on soybean-B12 juice that was raised on ex-rainforest area.

It's highly unsustainable and ridiculously bad investment.

Bill Gates has previously written about meat and its sustainability and has shown serious lack of understanding of how it all works on a global scale.

Yes, chickens being raised on a field filled with little nutrients only chickens can see is exactly the same as cows being raised in an environment where grass grows around them and climate is pretty stable.

That's not the way Africa or India will get its dosage of meat, and it cannot be done in any way other than massive soybean way (the best source of protein and growth for all living animals).

When we get Africans or Indians on the luxurious flesh, we'll never get them off the bandwagon and the unsustainability of the process will ruin more rainforests, more oceans, more living species and more life.

Absolutely disappointed with Bill.

I guess he's totally oblivious to the dead oceans zones that are caused primarily by animal agriculture.

Or that 90% of the rainforest is being cut primarily for soybean, that is primarily given to the animals in the animal agriculture.

Can't believe a guy was solving a problem this huge and he seems to still be on the meat bandwagon.
fair enough. I mentioned rethinkdb above because I find it very intuitive and versatile. I've used mongodb a fair bit but I like rethinkdb better for a host of reasons. I guess what I meant was, I thought mongodb was ok however everyone here seems to have always known it was deeply flawed. I tried to follow the jepsen report on rethink but I don't fully comprehend the tradeoffs/benchmarks ect, and was curious what others thought about it.
Yes - I think we both agree.

I read the comment above as disapproving of the all of the parentheses in the gp post.

If you remove the posts from people who write that way from the total we are closer to a monoculture.

The difference between having one fewer way of writing and literally having one way of writing is the size of the rhetorical exaggeration in my comment
I run a niche B2C SaaS with a monthly fee. This lets me maintain the product for a long time. If it was a one-off payment, I probably could've closed shop by now. Thing is, all niche products with tiny markets (say, a few hundred or a few thousand users) won't be able to survive in the long run without subscriptions.
That'll be bad for everyone involved. Even the victors will have a rough time of it; and from your perspective, there's a non-trivial chance they don't align with your beliefs. People advocating for this have no concept of warfare in general, nevermind in a modern setting. The people hurt the most are always the innocent non-combatant civilians.
This immediately makes me think that, as the supply of chickens goes up, their value goes down. You won't be able to sell a chicken for $5 anymore if everybody has enough. But the point is taken that they produce a lot of food for how little upkeep they require.
> I agree about potatoes, but that only works for relatively cooler climates, i.e. places like Poland or Ireland. It can easily get to 35-37 degrees Celsius in the summer at the place where my parents live (not to mention places like the Indian subcontinent or Africa), at which point storing potatoes becomes a challenge.

Is it? Here in South Italy we successfully grow potatoes and we have such hot summers.

Indeed it is not. The kernel sees a single root for the object namespace, not drive letters.
The real trend we are seeing is half-educated people trying to give names to concepts, which sound sophisticated to them but do not actually fit.

Edit: Somebody should write a manifesto about it.
To me this is more about the fact that incremental changes are better than a complete redesign. The previous design had its flaws but people were used to it.
Yeah, giving it a second look, you are right.

Varies by culture considerably. Consider cockfighting - very male oriented, involves a lot of chicken raising, can be a side gig for your egg or meat producers
