I thought that a) the conclusion of VMware's "Comparison of techniques" paper [1] was that x86 and possibly everything is Popek-and-Goldberg-virtualizable [2] via binary translation, and b) the last several years of Intel and AMD chips all have hardware virtualization support, including nested virtualization, that made their architectures Popek-and-Goldberg-virtualizable in the obvious way?

Nice talk! Sounds like there's no silver bullet...

I'm curious to hear your opinion about a combination of digital signing with e.g. keybase/blockchain + reputation system, a sandboxed development environment (mitigates the "short con" risk) and a sandboxed production environment, with the minimum set of permissions required to operate (as well as auditing of course).

Call me pessimistic but I don't see developers taking on the extra friction given the status quo. Though a major data breach or two might change things, as I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later.
Working for the man (and in DB dev), I am obviously biased. However, I'd be interested in what you actually find horrible to use and compared to what.
I'm sure Stingrays catches a lot of bad guys.

The problem is if the police is corrupted and are using it outside the law, or not by the intention of the law.

It feels like something that should be built on top of rust-csv.
They've said the initial intent is for developers to use it, not for running servers / etc (which is why they only target Windows 10 client and not Windows Server OSs).
Except that on iOS you can do everything in Objective-C/Swift if you feel like it.

Same applies to Android, UWP and even Tizen with their respective native languages.

So it is a conscious decision not to provide C++ APIs besides the old QtWidget and make developers use QML and its compiler instead, as far as I understand it.

Here's the part which I don't understand: if it's a civil case, why do they get to seize the property before proving anything?

If I open a civil proceeding against you, I can try to prove that you owe me $5k and if I prove that to the appropriate standard you can be compelled to provide me with $5k. I can't hack your bank account, withdraw $5k, and then open a civil proceeding to retroactively legitimize my robbery.

The whole system is a massive violation of due process, no matter what legalese you try to use to justify it. If you're allowed to take people's property and then retroactively sue them if they complain, what is even the point of having the Fifth Amendment?

> They might be easier to grow, but in terms of calories they seem much less efficient than, say, potatoes

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.

> But it has so many times more meat on it than a chicken, and is more energy efficient per calorie consumed too.

It's all about the return on investment. Raising cows only becomes financially viable once you pass a certain number threshold (meaning big farms), otherwise you're pretty much doing voluntary work. It's a lot of work in order to feed a cow, I mean, lots and lots of work, and said work is pretty effective in burning calories. A lot of farmers in the European Union who are in the cow-raising business (I'd say most) wouldn't make it without financial help from the EU and from their governments.

I'd say that goats are a lot better option if you really need meat. They feed practically on everything (cows are a lot more picky) and they're smaller, so they're easier to "store" and protect at night. This is why I think they're so widespread in the poorer regions of the world.

"As Brother Francis readily admitted, his mastery of pre-Deluge English was far from masterful yet. The way nouns could sometimes modify other nouns in that tongue had always been one of his weak points. In Latin, as in most simple dialects of the region, a construction like servus puer meant about the same thing as puer servus, and even in English slave boy meant boy slave. But there the similarity ended. He had finally learned that house cat did not mean cat house, and that a dative of purpose or possession, as in mihi amicus, was somehow conveyed by dog food or sentry box even without inflection. But what of a triple appositive like fallout survival shelter? Brother Francis shook his head."

Right now you get problems like Tweetbot. It costs money to maintain Tweetbot and keep it working, and to add new features. I use it every day, I'd be happy to 'subscribe' to it.

As it is now they only get paid when I buy the app. If I keep using it for 4 years I may still expect support but they're not getting additional income.

If you don't have enough growth to sustain you, what people have to do is release a new version of the app. Maybe it's a big upgrade (like Tweetbot has done) but some companies basically arbitrarily decide "This one is new, pay again".

And even though Tweetbot is great they lose money because people who are addicted to the app don't want to pay another $2. And they spam the rating for the app with 1-star ratings.

For apps that need constant maintenance? This seems like a great idea.
I edited my comment, but I think there are other factors, however in general Beef is very inefficient, even if per pound it is more efficient in providing energy, it's inefficient in producing that energy.

That is while Beef, pound for pound, might be more efficient for humans to consume, it isn't as efficient in producing that amount of amount in the first place, and requires more energy input than chicken meat.

Obama didn't emphasize his race because less than 15% of the US population is black, and there's a long history of other black candidates and activists who are almost viscerally repellent to the mainstream (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Malcolm X etc).

In particular Obama didn't want to fall into the "angry black man" stereotype.

I don't think it's a good idea for Clinton to play up the woman angle, but at least she's targeting a much larger demographic encompassing half the population.

Also, identity politics has a long history in the Democratic party. And for what it's worth Trump has used identity politics to his advantage on the Republican side.

" The original constitution didn't even include the bill of rights..."

I've heard this before and it's complete bullshit. The constitution as originally ratified by all the colonies included the bill of rights. Sure, there were many drafts and prior versions that didn't include it, but it has been there since its release. If you use that logic, the original was a blank sheet of paper and didn't include anything.
Ok, i guess you simply underestimated just how little the layman knows. :D

> drafting that motion

I'm going by this particular case, where the patent is obvious and patent bullshit. I would imagine that here a motion would be a form letter that could be handled in less than an hour? (Going by experiences in the german law system where i've seen a form letter to an unpaying client go out, cost and take effect, for half an hour billed.)

And yeah, in other cases it may be less obvious. I'm only talking about the case at hand, and other similar ones, where the patent can be seen to be invalid by anyone with good high school education and above.

Heck, shouldn't it be possible to informally request from the judge to say whether he already sees the patent is bullshit or not?
I use to run Linux in a VM on windows and use Chocolatey for package management and cygwin and powershell etc, then I realized I was just trying to make Windows into Linux. Seems to be the way things are going and with the addition of the linux subsystem it kind of proves that Windows really isn't a good OS on it's own, especially not for developers.

I wish Windows/MS would abandon NT and just create a Linux distro. I don't know anyone who particularly likes NT and jamming multiple systems together seems like an awful idea.

Windows services and Linux services likely won't play nice together (think long file paths created by Linux services and other incompatibilities), for them to be 100% backward compatible they need to not only make Windows compatible with the things Linux outputs, but Linux compatible with the things windows services output, and to keep the Linux people from figuring out how to use Windows on Linux systems they'd need to make a lot of what they do closed source.

So I don't see a Linux+Windows setup being deployed for production. It's cool for developers, but even then you can't do much real world stuff that utilizes both windows and Linux. If you're only taking advantage of one system then whats the point of having two?

I went ahead and made the switch to Linux since I was trying to make Windows behave just like Linux.
> $0.49/month is $6/year. If I thought an app was worth $2, I'm absolutely not willing to pay that much for it.

I honestly can't think of a single paid app that I use that I don't think is worth more than $2 to purchase forever. If there's an app I won't use often but professionals would use daily for years (say a house measurement app while I'm shipping for a house) I'm happy to pay .99 or 1.99 for the month or two that I'm using it, and simply unsubscribe when I no longer have a need for it. The real estate professionals that rely on the app however can pay that in perpetuity and get a better app out of the deal since it's actually making the developer money every month.

On the other hand, for an app I use every day (say Overcast) I'd be happy to pay a subscription price for monthly/quarterly/yearly use of it.

I think this will have 2 positive effects -
1) developers can be incented and paid for keeping their apps current and improved
2) the 'top paid' areas of the app store will be strongly indicative of quality, as the more people are willing to pay recurring costs for an app, the more likely it is to be good (games probably fall in a different category, but I don't do much gaming these days).

I think you are definitely right on that. The more experience you get explaining things to strangers, the better you will do in interviews. I took the "free work" section of the article as being more focused on audition than practice, though.

I still prefer sudo to PolKit. The syntax used in the sudo configuration file is quite error prone (which is why it is recommended to use visudo, as a way to not lock yourself out due to an invalid configuration), I still prefer that to PolKit's XML .policy files. Recent version can use JavaScript instead, but as far as I am concerned, it's equally bad.
yeah exactly what I need. I need a refresher on DNS.
I had that feeling about the Apache Foundation, but I also saw that they had a lot of projects which seemed to be important, even if most of them seemed to be heavily oriented towards large enterprise-style Java-based things, which I haven't had much use for myself. Then they took on OpenOffice, and lost what little of my respect they still had.

Background: OpenOffice used to be the go-to Microsoft Office compatible free software suite for Linux and other Unix-based systems. Then some politics happened and it forked to LibreOffice, and essentially all the developers left for LibreOffice, which is where the development happens today. However, the company still legally owning the OpenOffice code, and the name, still try their darnedest to get people to still use the rapidly-failing OpenOffice, to convince new developers that this is the same OpenOffice that they once knew, etc. (They have had a booth with staff at every FOSDEM for many years now, often conveniently located right beside the LibreOffice booth.) For the Apache Foundation to accept OpenOffice as a project in this situation is unacceptable. Predictably, the aforementioned company tries to play up the Apache Foundation connection at every opportunity, trying to imply that since it's an Apache Foundation project, it is therefore a serious and still active software project.
Is the process of filing a patent patented?
There is "running servers" in production and there is "running servers" in dev.

If I can't run the entire stack I use for dev under the subsystem then I will go the other route, which is to continue using VMs. I am excited about the initial release, and the prospect of being able to use Windows for all of the regular things I do, but it's clear that this isn't ready for primetime even as a dev tool.

>> Apple will not force you to subscribe to any apps

No, but if the marketplace shifts to 90% of developers using subscriptions in their apps (essentially replacing the existing in-app purchases model), then it was facilitated by Apple as the "preferred" model for monetization.

I'm in the same boat as others in the comments. I am willing to pay a subscription for the 2-3 pieces of software that are absolutely core to my daily habits. Beyond those precious few apps, no developer deserves a monthly subscription from me - and they will never suck one out of me. I'm sorry, but too many solo developers think that creating a single app should earn them a $200k/year salary. I've known a couple of these people who think that a single app they worked on for 3 months should set them up for lifetime retirement. The expectations are unreal, and will never be fulfilled no matter the monetization scheme used.
A real subscription fatigue is already setting in for me and others that I know. I really don't want to add to that list...

>old users feel betrayed for having to pay the full upgrade price even though they bought the app earlier than new users.

Do they, though? Back when things like word processors were hundreds of dollars for the initial purchase and maybe half that for upgrades, it kept your users relatively happy. But when Apple introduced Pages on the app store originally, it was something like $30-40 for new versions. So I actually ended up spending less on it than I had on other word processors, but getting the same regular updates. It's free now, but I personally love the model of low reasonable price each time rather than really high first time price, and kind of high additional price when new versions come out. That initial high price meant there were a lot of programs I didn't buy when I wasn't making quite the salary I am today.

The other option is for a single bug in a single release to stay in your app reviews in perpetuity. Why would you want that, rather than give prospective customers the option to look at current vs old reviews?

Also, I would quibble with your description of it as 'resetting of visible app reviews' as the old reviews are still visible, they're just one tap away...
> > "" The original constitution didn't even include the bill of rights..."

No, it didn't. The Constitution, without amendments, was ratified in 1788. The 12-amendment Bill of Rights was passed by Congress and submitted to the States for ratification in 1789. Of those 12 amendments, the last 10 were ratified in 1791 and became Amendments 1-10 to the Constitution (what is popularly now known as the "Bill of Rights"), while the second was ratified in 1992 and became Amendment 27, and the first is, technically, still pending and open for ratification.

I grew up in Argentina, which has had female presidents for decades, and lived in two other countries which had female power figures at some point or another (England and Brazil.) I've lived at least two of the elections leading to a female presidents. I've never seen gender thrown into the discourse as much as in this election.

I can't even count the times I've heard "it's time for the first woman president" coming directly from her or her campaign people. Or the comparisons to "mi abuelita" (a maternal figure, of course.) Also, the whole notion that anyone who might oppose her is doing so from a purely misogynistic standpoint ("Bernie Bros", etc.) She definitely played identity politics a lot.

Clinton has proven herself to be a bit of a holdover of second-wave feminism in her rhetoric and actions. From erasure of the struggles of minority groups, exploiting identity politics, and even going as far as trotting at notorious TERF Gloria Steinem at a campaign event, Clinton has demonstrated a view of gender that is not very consistent with more modern perspectives. After all, she held off on supporting LGBTQ rights until it was extremely politically dangerous for her not to do so.

> I wish Windows/MS would abandon NT and just create a Linux distro. I don't know anyone who particularly likes NT and jamming multiple systems together seems like an awful idea.

I do. The NT kernel is pretty clean and well architected. (Yes, there are mistakes and cruft in it, but Unix has that in spades.) It's not "jamming multiple systems together"; an explicit design goal of the NT kernel was to support multiple userland APIs in a unified manner. Darwin is a much better example of a messy kernel, with Mach and FreeBSD mashed together in a way that neither was designed for.

It's the Win32 API that is the real mess. Having a better officially supported API to talk to the NT kernel can only be a good thing, from my point of view.
