Cheers to LE for standing tall.

Please donate to LE, EFF.
Thank you for coherently and politely saying what others have said in... less eloquent terms. I think many people feel this way but find it difficult to express in these contexts without coming off as (or at least being accused of) a bigot or something.

My post above was a super-passive expression of this.
Semver does not define what a "compatible" vs "incompatible" change means, though. Manish linked to how we define it, but SemVer specifically leaves that up to the project.
Yes, an article about a long gone space station is about a long ago event. Shocking! It's a new article though.
It sounds similar enough to me "Let's Encrypt" that it could confuse people. The trademark system is supposed to prevent confusion, which seems to me like what "Start Encrypt" could do. Thus, that also seems to me like a trademark problem.
This; it's awesome!
Yeah, the only reason to use them was that they were cheap and now AlphaSSL's resellers are cheaper anyways, $40 wildcards are hard to argue with. Heck, I paid $100 for 3 years on renewal.
It's not just SF. It's big cities around the world. They are drawing in more people than ever. Most have housing/transport issues that present as high cost of living. People still keep pouring in and successful cities stand out in terms of household income.

Even as the internet makes geography less relevant, the competition for living in cities keeps growing.
A nice overview; thanks for sharing it!

I don't think that your claim that GRO is "a software implementation of a hardware optimization that is known as Large Receive Offloading (LRO)" is correct, though. GRO effectively replaces LRO [1]; it has fewer limitations (it works with non-TCP traffic and with bridging [2], for example). Drivers need to support it, but they are free to take advantage of hardware offloading/acceleration, and many do (including e.g. the ixgbe driver [3]).

----

[1] In terms of function, and in the sense that LRO could be removed if the drivers that were using LRO were updated to use GRO instead.

[2] Relevant bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772317

[3] Which actually supports both LRO and GRO; if I recall, in older versions, bad things(tm) would sometimes happen if you had both enabled at the same time (whereas now the LRO setting is ignored if GRO is enabled).
Completely unsubstantiated on my part, but I think that it may have been both for stylistic reasons as well as to make the lighting engine look better / hide certain imperfections. For example, the contrast between well-lit areas and dark ones would be better than if we tried the same lighting effect with bright ambient light everywhere.

Given what I've read about the guys at id though, it's equally plausible that they just liked dark, moody environments and figured their fans would be fine with it. Consider the debate that happened after the initial demos of Diablo 3 came out and some fans were outraged at how "cheerful" the colors were and Blizzard responded with critiques of fan recolorings of demo environments. In the end, they released the Reaper of Souls expansion which had a really dull palette compared to the rest of the world along with responses to other game direction criticisms. Being "tasteful" is not necessary for commercial success in the market today and I suspect it was even less necessary back in the mid-90s.
the code is decrypted into internal SRAM. executed normally. then an entirely normal page-fault happens at which point the hypervisor catches the trap and decrypts the data again into internal SRAM and maps it appropriately then allows the access to continue.
You know, if you feel the need to make an account to post what amounts to a rules lawyering comment to what you perceive as a language police comment, perhaps you're taking the wrong approach. There are less blunt methods.

This is a good example of why you should treat interviews as a two way street. Don't just worry about convincing them that you are the right candidate. You should also try to determine if they are the right employer.
Apparently the american law doesn't require nondiscrimination at what is listed in most airbnb listings as pointed out elsewhere [not the case elsewhere]. Ergo, airbnb cannot stop hosts from discriminating in most US listings. Therefore, they should have never claim that they are against discrimination. Otherwise, they would have to prove it with actions.
Because they were promises made a long, long time ago, when interest rates were high enough to support the idea of pensions and retirement?

> Direct action like a sit-down protest undermines and subverts the process of democracy by saying "Do what we want or we'll make life intolerably difficult for you." That is not how government should work. Government shouldn't be held to ransom.

This is pretty blatantly wrong in regards to how the US senate works and has worked for a long time. Filibustering is a normal thing for the senate and has an important, valuable role historically. Today, unfortunately, it's mostly a cosmetic thing senators will do for good press. What the House members are doing is essentially the House equivalent of filibustering, which doesn't exist in an official capacity. Regardless, it's not really interrupting much and it's definitely not doing anything other than generating press.

Also, it's funny see a British person asking for rational behavior from foreign lawmakers considering the wigs, heckling, and jeering of UK parliament.
Could there be a brain drain here? I see these people as being the smart ones - those who realize they're in a losing financial situation, and have the motivation to do something about it, even though in the short term it's painful for them (leaving friends & uprooting their family).
Jobs and day trips yes. Schools, no. Public schools are among the worst funded and least achieving. Good schools, go to Mass (with also good day trips, but harsh winters).
I would love to see Creative Labs return to the scene with Plaszma OS, which they were doing before iOS and Android took all the ice cream.

Pensions aren't the mistake, low interest rates are the mistake.
The things I've thought about -

a) Is it a single use nuclear device or mass use? US-Russia-China will be a mass use scenario and thats a game ender.

a1) What is the current chance of an accidental or sabotage internal use by any major country?

b) What is the response to a someone like North Korea using a nuclear weapon?

c) The probability of something occurring between either Pakistan-India or North Korea-South Korea in the next 20 years exceeds 50%. The Shia-Sunni thing could be a problem area too.

d) Offshore rebalancing in the Middle East right now may be a study in removing nuclear-capable states deemed hostile. Any sort of region controlled by Islamist warlords can't build any sort of functional modern industry. The initial shock at capabilities was through looting, which ends when the source of lootable goods ends.

e) A big expansion of public surveillance is already well on its way. Sensors get smaller, cheaper, probably expanding exponentially. You can kind of look at what MZ (formally Machine Zone) is publicizing as an example of live knowledge of an urban area. Vehicle delivery of anything illicit will become very difficult. I've mentioned before, it is possible there will be little to no private vehicle ownership within urban cores in the future.

f) The barrier to entry for civilization ending nuclear will continue to remain high enough. The move away from nuclear to renewables will make it pretty explicit when a smaller country is trying to develop nuclear weapons. The most dangerous point of "idiot" proliferation was when the Soviet Union fell.

g) The chemical and biological stuff is a big future concern with regards to production becoming easier.

The most urgent thing is to solve the US-Russia-China issue. Based on the policy makers operating behind the scenes I expect relations will keep degrading.

In some respects, as a democracy it is the citizen's fault for ignoring the problem. On the other hand there is total opacity of the strategic policies being implemented, so if they are even debated both sides are debating talking points which actually have zero basis on why certain decisions are being made.

The price will hit a ceiling at the exact time demand = supply, and not a moment before.

A worldwide markets for these homes now exists, which means the number of people who both want and can afford them is huge, and therefore the price will rise until that condition is no longer true.

Also, I believe we are again seeing signs of loan company shenanigans which, if so, will allow easy-to-game capital to continue to chase prices upwards as well.

The idea of starting an ISP without outside funding (unless you're a millionaire already) is pretty astonishing. Been researching the possibility of this myself recently and costs of infrastructure are simple astronomical.

I agree. There is a difference between using "encrypt" in the title of a product thats core functionality is encryption and the main name of their company; "start". If they modeled most of the marketing and branding on Let's Encrypt, it wouldn't be great but I could understand it.

Blatantly registering another companies name as your trademark, within the industry and for the direct product you are competing against is piss poor intimidation. What possible legitimate motive could they have to do this? none. In the best case, it is for the eponymous "defense" package, at worst it is for intimidation.
Of course, if this were implemented, credit cards would stop being free.

>Last I checked, Unicode don't actually have anything like coverage of the entirety of every script and alphabet

Because the Unicode standards body doesn't want them in, or because those scripts don't have champions pushing for their inclusion?

Westerners? Notwithstanding the fact that emoji icons came from Japan, I'm fairly certain emotive icons are popular globally.
Now that they've gone to the expense of moving their remaining 30 employees to San Francisco and have demonstrated such incredible loyalty to their employees, let's see how many of those remaining 30 take advantage of the many opportunities in the Valley to jump ship.

Huh? CA has had real estate values vastly above the average since the 1980's. I remember seeing dumpy ranch houses in Salinas, CA for nearly a half a million in 1992. Such a house would have been $40K almost anywhere else.
Long Island and Boca Raton aren't exactly stiff competition in the "life of the mind" department. Also I disagree, IT is huge out there but other disciplines get short shrift.
This is exciting news! In Chicago, I'm currently living in a high rise where the fastest plan I can get is 24 Mbps for around $80/mo. My high rise has an exclusivity contract with AT&T U-Verse. I've spoken with AT&T reps and they can't offer any higher speeds. I also talked to property management and they said there's nothing they can do for me. They are locked into an exclusivity contract with AT&T for the wires in the building.

Does anyone have experience dealing with properties who claim to have exclusivity contracts? I talked to people at Webpass, and they've stated it is available in my area. They'd come in and set everything up free of charge. I don't see the downside for my building to allow Webpass to come in. I do know the FCC has regulations about exclusivity contracts with video providers, but I couldn't find any documents on things like internet. It seems like my only option is to find a place that does not have exclusivity contracts with providers.
Just curious, but do you think companies you consult care enough to switch? It's usually easier to just renew, and I wonder if consultants have the leverage to get customers to care.
Well I don't have a negative view of Nim in general, and I wouldn't describe it as a hodgepodge. I would describe Nim as a language that doesn't hold you back and doesn't save you from yourself. Personally I refrain from using most of the complex stuff, but when I need it I love how it is there for me. For example, the shared objects make it very easy for me to just roll things in Nim then link them to Ruby through the FFI.

Will your average developer need these features? No. But the average developer writes ASP, PHP, or JavaScript. I'd rather be formidable even if it means doing the work.
Polls close at 10pm UTC or 5pm EDT (for me). Should know about an hour or so later?

Pretty awesome that polls stay open till 10pm in the UK. That would make it much easier to vote for people who have to work and care for kids, etc...
Anyone who had a PS/2 Model 25 or 30 did, but those weren't exactly popular, and MCGA was a weird duck (supporting the 256 color 320x200 mode, and a 640x480 monochrome mode, but not the 320x200x16 EGA mode -- which VGA supported -- which made it not a compatible upgrade from EGA and unable to run lots of EGA software. If it had been EGA compatible, it might have seen more use, even though VGA was better and introduced at the same time.)
> Kathan told BetaKit that the “incredible difficulty” of acquiring senior-level talent in Toronto

As some companies are (finally) starting to realize, there are incredibly talented people all over the world, who are not within 1.5 hours of your office. Allowing them to work remotely opens your company up to a much higher caliber of talent for the same, if not lower, cost. The tools are out there now and they work well. I have a distributed team of developers for my small consulting company, and I feel no pressure to open an office any time soon.

They always provided free "personal" certifcates with a validity of one year. But they market the "Start Encrypt" thing like you now get wildcard and EV certificates for free (which isn't true). Talking about scummy practices...
BBC Good Food is funded by BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC. It is not funded by licence fee money. The website is a companion (or extension) of their BBC Good Food magazine.

The BBC Food website, on the other hand, is funded by the licence fee. Recipes from many of their food programmes are published here, but much more too. It's grown to be much more than just a companion to their food programmes. But now, with little support from the public, they've decided to close the site.

The 6 known ways to power a drone
I know what you're trying to do, but its not going to work ;). Texas is about as interesting as you can get, especially if you live in Austin. The housing costs are not ridiculous (yet), you can live in decent house near downtown, COL is low, no state taxes etc. Quite a wonderful state, especially if you're young and in tech.

BTW, there is also a vibrant live music scene. And also a lot of theater and art. Did I mention the food?

The only thing I would say Texas lacks are good beaches. We do have a lot of rivers/lakes though. But for someone who grew up near the ocean...it does suck.
Good idea, your comment motivated me to do the same.
For me the question is why don't all workers have pensions? As I understand it most 401(k) plans have high expense ratios, rely on people actively participating and generally leave workers with an underfunded retirement. I prefer a system much like the French. Leaving it up to an individual to plan 40 years into the future does not seem like a sensible social policy.
Why would they stop and pull out?
A lot of folks are also immigrants, who need to wait close to a decade to become citizens to be able to demand anything.

This is especially important for people who are using employer or school-provided laptops. The Lower Merion School District drew national attention to this issue[1], but most people still don't understand how trivial it is for an employer (or school) to spy on them. Some sleazy IT guy could be recording everything 24/7 and they'd have no idea.

They already refused to back down, even after requests from Let's Encrypt lawyers. Backpedalling now in response to the PR crisis would not be enough, in my opinion. I'd only consider them again if they were to make a decent donation to Let's Encrypt.
Lets encrypt certs are only valid for 3 months. In many situations the auto-renewal stuff is inconvenient. Then its easier to just buy a commercial cert that's valid for a few years.
Well, we know emoji has at least one champion, here.
I don't think so, it's just a software switch. You can still access the original mic via regular recording softwares.
Heh, funny to read this on the day my moving van arrives to get my things outta here! It's a little sad, but we simply got fed up with the standard of living here. And, the Bay Area just feels mismanaged.

Getting around is a royal pain. After living in Vienna, I was amazed at people who thought Bart was great. Really? I found it dirty, slow, and crazy expensive.

Of course everything is just crazy expensive. A beer garden opened up nearby, with a few nice tables and some decent beers. 2 beers will cost you about $16. It's like the entire economy is about paying rent. I remember going to heuriger in Vienna and grabbing a bottle of totally decent wine for about 8 EUR.

I'm not sure 64k people out of 38 million counts as an exodus, though. There's a whole lot of immigration going on.
Yep, just because there's no clear physical boundary doesn't mean there isn't a clear line separating "in space" from "not in space."

I agree that typing out the word lambda is annoying, but you can use them as fully anonymous functions.

Not that its likely, but if some news story broke that made Clinton unacceptable (particularly, to the Democratic superdelegates), then Sanders is the only candidate that (presuming discipline from the pledged delegates, though IIRC there is legal precedent that even "pledged" delegates aren't actually bound that there are plans to exploit on the Republican side) mathematically could be elected simply by superdelegate switching on the first ballot while pledged delegates vote as pledged. Which party leaders might prefer to minimize chaos and apparent disorder.

OTOH, if there is no first-ballot majority, all bets are off.
Presumably it would be difficult, if not impossible, to repeal the 2nd Amendment without popular support. If it were to happen then by definition, Congress was listening to the people. "The people" also includes people who support gun control.

Not really a fan of the lambda syntax in Python. Comparison:

JavaScript:

let arr = [1, 2, 3]
let sumOfSquares = arr.map(n => n * n).reduce((a, b) => a + b) // 14

Python:

arr = [1, 2, 3]
sum_of_squares = reduce(lambda a, b: a + b, map(lambda n: n * n, arr)) # 14

To enjoy a halfway decent life in the Bay Area (to not require roommates to meet expenses, own a car, and not have to commute from the Central Valley everyday) I'd say you have to make 6 figures. Or be married to/BFF with someone who does.
