You can throw administrators into "professorial caste" (though note that professors still dominate payroll at most places: http://data.richmond.com/salaries/2014/state/george-mason-un...).

And how is the financial industry benefitting from the peddling of useless college degrees? Private student loans only account for 8% of student loan debt (the federal government holds the rest).
And maybe not discipline your employees for refusing to commit wage theft on your behalf?
I think the point is it has to be interesting enough to keep you preoccupied, but not interesting enough to keep you awake.

I sleep to old Simpsons episodes. I know them inside out, and at least the older ones have a fairly calm rhythm. I don't need to pay attention because I know what is happening but it still distracts me from all the kinds of thoughts you mention. I love the episodes, so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time.
Python has a very strong set of conventions, beliefs about what 'good python' looks like/what is in the spirit of the language. It's a common term in the python community.
American kids are not doing the cost-benefit analysis and they alone are to be blamed for it.

For example.

For many prospective college students, the trades might be a much more lucrative option. Using the example of plumbing, the average plumber earns $53,820 per year with the employer paying the apprentice a wage and training. (This money is for expert plumber. When adjusted to experience etc. it is around $20k per year without any student loan debt.)

Now consider a college degree

Petroleum engineering has an average starting salary of $93,500 while animal science has an average starting salary of $32,700. This breaks down for a monthly salary for the petroleum engineer of $7,761.67 versus a person working in animal science with a monthly salary of $2,725.

While Petroleum engineer can very well pay the debt without much issues I fail to see how the Animal Science girl will be able to pay her debt.
How is Microsoft that much more resilient, though? They're an absolute joke in the phone/device market. They're a market leader in the least exciting, fastest-declining market - the Desktop.

On the server side, they're hovering at 30%-ish, and are almost completely absent from the start-up scene as well as the high-end super-computer space. The startup scene, which, I know, I know, but still, it is where the future is, is definitely not interested in anything MS, from what I can tell. Nothing bug a sea of MacBooks with people pounding away at Node/RoR/language-of-the-day. The hip 20-somethings pounding away at a thousand start-ups don't seem to be betting on the MS stack. And those are the tech leaders of tomorrow.

Forget about the start-up space, fine. What about other institutions like banks/finance/airlines? That's all Java, running on some kind of Unix-derivative as well, most likely hitting a non-MS database.

MS is doing ok in the video game console space, but Sony is doing better. They're doing ok with Azure, but nothing spectacular, AWS and Google Cloud and Dig. Ocean and the numerous others aren't feeling too much pressure.

I guess really besides Office - what do they have that's a giant run-away success that will ensure their long-term survival?
If you're using SI prefixes, yes. If you're using the latin sense of "centi" meaning "hundred", as in centipede, then it means "hundred million". Dollars are not (yet) an SI unit.

> A top tier college will get you out in front of more employers...

...when you don't have anything more impressive than your college choice on your resume.

Harvard students will always beat out comparable state school students to get that Microsoft phone interview. But they won't always beat out the student who ran a full-scale web app after sophomore year to help students plan courses if they don't have comparable experience. Another thing I love about tech is as many strings as you can pull to get that initial phone interview, you're on your own from there. In my experience I've done general website applications and called up friends of friends and once you're staring at a whiteboard it makes no difference who you know or where you came from.

The two part related problem to this is a recruiting one. If you use a resume as a litmus test for "smart programmers" as opposed to those faking it, you're undoubtably going to get a bunch of people who went to the best possible schools. This also means you wind up with a lot of candidates who had the means to go to really good schools. Maybe there's someone just as smart at your local state school who couldn't afford CMU who would bring a completely different mindset and style of thinking, but you'll never find them.
unfortunately, many folks cannot start saving while their kids are young. It was the case for my parents. I qualified for free lunches for most of my childhood, and I have 2 younger siblings. I tried the cheapest college - in town, even, and they didn't provide loans to cover the costs. We were told my parents were expected to pay 10% of their before tax income to college due to the last year's tax returns.

The kid that graduated 2nd in the class had trouble getting a scholarship. He was afraid he wouldn't go to college because his family didn't have funds and despite his best efforts, he hadn't saved up enough money himself. He worked part-time through high school. I think he was barely above the cut-off for the need-based scholarships, and found the merit-based few and far between. He did find out in May our senior year that he finally found a full scholarship - at the same low-cost, in-town option I was going to.

The athletes, though, they had scholarships pretty early.

It hurts for everyone, and even the local choice isn't a good one. Even if folks that make it through can do well enough. I didn't stay in college (so few regrets on my end, I like my life), but the friend did rather well.
As a long time country music fan, I find this current generation of "bro-country" to be grating at best and downright insulting and degrading at worst. But I can't tell if it's just because I'm older or the music is legitimately simplistic and terrible.

Not exactly sure what your point is. Cygwin is now LGPL

My point was to hypothesize why Cygwin became openGPL. I stated some of the advantages of mingw, and why those might motivate Cygwin to change their licensing.
> "oh look, just straightforward v6 only"

An ISP that doesn't provide at least outbound IPv4 connectivity would rapidly lose all of its customers.

IPv6-only with NAT64 is doable when you control the set of attached devices; see T-Mobile US, with phones that implement 464XLAT.

I keep seeing articles about these ethical questions.

Nobody who buys these cars really cares if they don't solve hard ethical problems in sub-millisecond times. The people who design the cars don't need to solve these problems.

People will buy Self-driving cars once they pass a reasonable level of safety for all concerned, while not requiring the user to ever take the wheel, because convenience trumps safety once safety passes a certain threshold. And those safety levels will not involve rare ethical dilemmas.

Once there are millions of self-driving cars with billions of hours of drive time we'll still see scare articles about this every time a car causes people to die. People will still experience FUD from these articles. But, they'll vote with their dollars and snatch these vehicles up.
Very fascinating, thanks Kyle!
So, they want to copyright the number 90 as well? haha.
I'm in exactly your same boat. Do all the work on my car myself, only drive a manual, know how my tires will perform on various pavement at various temperatures, wear driving shoes, leave the radio off, etc., because I'm an enthusiast. A few years ago I was teaching my son to drive on slick roads so we were spinning cookies, doing bootlegger turns, and using engine power rather than braking to get out of situations in the county fairgrounds parking lot. There was no one around, nothing to run into, but yet a local officer started circling us on the perimeter lot road, at which point I had my son back off for safety reasons since there was another car in the parking lot. Anyway, he decided to light us up, then threatened my son and myself (because he had a learners permit) with reckless driving charges. And so it is in the US, land of the ignorant when it comes to actually learning how to drive or having the ability to teach our kids how to drive in an abandoned parking lot. I much, much, much prefer Germany in this regard. They really do get it on this front.
1. Stanford is an outlier in terms of financial aid--they provide far more financial aid than most schools.

Delete Messages in Bulk from PST and Copy Multiple Messages Using IMAP Client
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Email for Java 6.6.0. This month’s release includes the same new features, enhancements and bug fixes that were part of the .NET version of the API. Ported from its equivalent .NET version, this release of Aspose.Email for Java includes the new feature of deleting multiple messages in bulk from a PST file. The deleteChildItems method provides this functionality by accepting a list of message entry ids from the PST file. Similar to deleting items in bulk from a PST file, the API now provides the capability to update messages’ properties in bulk within a PST file. The changeMessages method accepts a list of message entry ids along with the collection of properties that need to be updated for all the messages at once. This month’s release also enhances the IMAP client of the API for deleting set of messages from the mailbox using a single API call. Messages can be deleted in group using the message ids as well as sequence numbers. The deleteMessagesByUids and deleteMessagesBySequenceNumbers method provide this new functionality of the IMAP client API.
Perhaps the key is something between a boot camp (I mean the coding kind, not the military kind) and a 4-year school? A lot of time and money is wasted on the culture of college (sports, activities, partying, Greek life, etc....) and it seems there's a lot of room for disruption.

> They're alike enough that you could probably make a mashup with just those few chords and it'd sound nice, but the entire rest of the songs are utterly different.

To amplify your point:

You can mash up "Hot In Here" by Nelly and "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees and that sounds good. (In that: Even if it isn't your taste in music, it works in some objective sense. It sounds like what that kind of music is supposed to sound like. Can you tell I don't know anything about music theory?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekwod6Py1RI

Anyway, my point is that on a basic, mechanical level, all music is derivative. That's part of what a 'genre' is. That's part of what a 'musical tradition' is, why Mozart sounds different from Chinese Opera.

Infringement has to be based on something more.
This is more like, I think I'll sue you 40 years later because your code is very close to mine in one method.

No he didn't forget. The lower layers, yeah it probably will be in C (but it doesn't HAVE to be). But in the application layer, it probably shouldn't be.

If things like memory management are not the first priority when writing every line of code, then you shouldn't be using C, and that's really the only reason you should be using C, when there's a specific need for memory management.

Not surprisingly, this is exactly why the world has moved beyond C for the application layer, it's painful to have to think about that stuff constantly, so people just don't (this being an example).
What the hell was that drivel supposed to be about?
The right answer.
You've evaded my point. I'm saying, you can get a music degree without paying to do it at a top tier university.

With remunerative degrees, you can at least make the argument that selective schools gate selective employers, and so expensive colleges can be a necessity. But it's harder to make that argument for music or art.

The question isn't whether you should study art. It's how much of a premium you should pay to study it at an elite school.
And this is why large companies rarely like (or sometimes even let) the CEO speak before it goes through a PR team.
Telephony, SMS, and MMS APIs
You're making things more complicated than they were. We had hundreds of developers; they weren't all the individual maintainers (though collectively of course we were, and de jure once I managed to split egcs off (now gcc) and get people comfortable with the idea of forking).

Everyone who worked for us just signed the usual assignment and we automatically assigned ownership (via the first blanket assignment) to the FSF where appropriate. No employee had to think about ownership -- if you worked on FSF code it belonged to the FSF.

And due to the way California law works, if you worked on FSF stuff on your own time but using a work computer (and we didn't care if you did) it'd automatically belong to us..which would automagically assign it straight to the FSF!
I'm not going to comment on this case directly, but there is no doubt that Led Zep borrowed heavily from other artists/songs in many of their songs; arguably a lot more than most bands of their stature.

Yes, there are influences and its sometimes difficult to say who copied what or what came first. But in their case, its happened again and again and again.

Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye2N_2ce3QE. There many more examples from Led Zeps music like this.

Massive Led Zep fan here, btw.

I'm cancelling my Comodo certs today. It's scary that this is the largest CA in the world.

Sibling comments have brought up some good points about the baseless claims in this post. The CEO also quotes this Let's Encrypt blog post on "Why 90 Days":

> "Ninety days is nothing new on the Web. According to Firefox Telemetry, 29% of TLS transactions use ninety-day certificates. That’s more than any other lifetime"

> so whose certs are these? Of course Comodo's!!! So they are admitting they are copying our innovation of 90 day free ssl certs!

So is the CEO saying that 29% of TLS transactions on the web are on sites which use Comodo's 90-day free trial SSL certificates, probably used on sites with the least traffic on the web? That at any one time, 29% of TLS traffic is over an unrenewable 90-day trial cert? Huh, seems implausible for some reason!

The post right above is also misinformed as well:

> From a legal standpoint (ISRG) should have trademarked this when they started using it publicly in November of 2014. There negligence to have done so is why this debate is happening. Then they want to cry foul because of their failure to follow the simplest of product protections. Registering your trademarks. The one who is in possession of the registered trademark is the owner, and that is the law.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "from a legal standpoint," there has to be evidence of use in commerce before a trademark can be registered, and it's crystal clear that Comodo did not use "Let's Encrypt" in commerce, and it's also crystal clear that ISRG did.
The truth is that musicians have been doing this for centuries. It used to be seen as a complement. There are a tremendous number of dimensions which can be copied/have influenced derived from them in any piece of music, and honestly the world benefits from this proliferation of musical ideas. If the artist had made something as good as what Led Zeppelin did, they would have profited from it, even if Led Zeppelin was able to profit from it as well. Intellectual Property rights in music hardly makes any more sense than Intellectual Property rights in software (and I think neither make sense).
Yes!

Why would you list an AS on your resume? If the idea is to transfer to one of the state schools and finish up there, wouldn't you just list your BS?
I think Span really goes way beyond what ArraySegment was intended to do. ArraySegment was just a way of wrapping the very common 3 parameters (Array, offset, length) used in almost any buffer copy operation into a single object.

Span/slice was a much more ambitious type that not only provided fast array segment like access, but also introduced a way to provide typed views into byte[] without the cost of casting or copying memory.

Span<T> is low level enough that they considered calling it Array<T> but decided against it to avoid even more confusion.

If you want to see an example of a API failure it is with System.Tuple<>. That type is effectively being deprecated when ValueTuple comes into the BCL with proper compiler support.
And everyone thought it was an on/off toggle.
It's probably a bit of both, but definitely the latter is true. I'm only 23 and I greatly miss good old country music like that of Johnny Cash.
This was my first thought. I would hate interacting with an AI that basically acts like a high school student that watches too much TV. Kinda reminds me of when Microsoft's bot started spouting off Nazi-themed comments on Twitter.
