How much more? I always imagined that it's more likely for a standard user to open every email attachment and execute it than it is to get targeted by a malicious attacker who knows what software your users are running and writes exploits tailored for them, but I could be wrong.
If only they would make it possible to enforce silent mode on concerts, that would be something.
Not really that interesting if main point is that there is no easy "follow the instructions" way to become a writer. It is true for everything like there is no "follow the instructions" way to have a good life, build muscles, etc. It is all about showing up doing mistakes, learning not to make same mistakes poof after quite long time maybe you achieved your goal, but you are never certain.
I'm using violence. Works when video starts flickering on our Samsung's TV.
Any proof for this claim?
Elsewhere in the thread, they talk about upstreaming some code into the kernel itself; so it has to be in C for that. That's my guess, anyway.

(disabling std is standard in environments like this; and you still get libcore, which is a lot of stuff!)
Well, why not? the computers they have in those extreme situations are not the newest Intel xeons. Battle tested and reliable computers are years behind their more modern desktop counterparts.
Yes you are absolutely right. We just put things into place step by step to make it more sellable. We still have team members that can't be replaced but work on changing this.
Ah, thanks. I must have missed that.

It doesn't make this 'feature' any better.
I already do something similar myself by Googling keywords from pages I visited a while ago.

So much easier if my browser had Graph-like search built in.
* Its guidance software is only available for apple products.

* It's 150 USD for around one hour of play time.

Apart from that: I like it! Looks great and for sure would've interested me as I were in their target age. Also appears to be very rugged.

Once a year or so, I pick up DF and play for a few weeks just to see what has changed. Coincidentally, I just finished my 2016 playfest last month.

I am sold on the ASCII graphics, especially once you drop in a decent replacement set. Generating unique icons for all the bazillion different things would be a huge undertaking graphically, and you pick up what things are quickly.

Sadly, the UI (and I use the term loosely) is still, well, awful. The menu system makes no sense (sure, you can memorize where something is, but that's not what I mean), and the keystrokes seem to be randomized across menus. As others have said, there's actually a pretty good game under there these days. It's just horrible to interact with.
Even in the examples you mentioned I strongly believe one shouldn't mess with their devices. You can just take away their phones. My point is that they paid for the device so they get to use it however they want to. Whether they could use it or not depends on the setting they're in, not on whoever "sold" them the device.
It's not indefinite. There are already non-compete contracts that exist like this, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with people purposely using them as paid vacation.
agreed. i bet even Mozart would have difficulties positioning his fingers like this ;-)
Of course you could also assign another shortcut to this with BetterTouchTool or something.
Yes. It's quite CUDA focus.
You can explain that traditional viruses are less common on Linux. Rootkits and privilege escalation exploits are more likely.

One strategy might be to say that Linux systems are not sheltered from any threat (saying otherwise might lead the other person to consider you as a biased Linux fan), but instead to explain that the threats and consequently the defensive tools to adopt are different.

So, instead of an AV, I would recommend 1) an host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS), like OSSEC or Tripwire, and 2) a kernel patched with Grsecurity.

The HIDS will send you an alert every time an important file (like /etc/shadow) or a new binary / package is installed or modified.

Grsecurity will offer multiple very efficient protection mechanisms against privilege escalation exploits (among other things).

For the MacBooks, I don't know.
Yet another greed-fueled crowdsale...

The bigger problem is pixel density.

I've tried both the DK1 and the vive, and the vive is basically at the point where games are very playable.

Some people complain about the "screen-door" effect, which basically translates to the pixels are so large that it's like you are looking a screen door. But in my experience that's not a problem. If you stop and concentrate you can see the pixels, and they are quite large, but with game-like graphics your brain is more than happy to fill in the gaps between pixels.

This doesn't translate to text. Text needs to be massive before you can read it. There is no way you can have multiple monitors at desktop distances. Best case is a single, low resolution monitor (about 720p resolution) so close to your face (or far away and massive) that it takes up your entire field of view. To see any extra monitors, you would have to rotate your entire head.
Android is open-source, so you could just flash a ROM without that feature.
Yeah, but the problem is that modern pages are written in such a way that that almost always displays garbage. I tried to do it for a few weeks, but it was terrible looking.
And you can bet someone will work out how to send these signals and jam cameras at inconvenient locations.
I smell a market ripe for the taking... Or maybe not.

With that said, I actually thought about buying one of these, but I ended up just revamping some of my Emacs bindings. Then I ended up switching to vim, so chording became less of an issue in general.

(When I still found myself wanting the Emacs operating system I went with Spacemacs. It really is the best of both worlds.)
> 3) Be very wary of telling your former employer of where you are going to work. There just is no real upside to it.

This!

I live in Ireland where non-competes are illegal under EU law, but that doesn't stop some employers trying their luck.

I was made redundant from a company that provided a SaaS retail reporting/analytics system. They had never added a mechanism or developed a business process to easily cut off customers who weren't paying their bills, so rather than fix it they made a few people redundant to make up for the shortfall.

A friend introduced me to a rival firm who liked me enough to hire me, this was during my 30 day notice period when I was still working for my old employer. I never told my old employer that I had been hired as I knew the MD would lose his shit. Unfortunately I told one person there whom I considered a friend. I swore him to secrecy, but he had a drinking problem - I think you can see where this is leading. The MD got wind that my friend knew where I was going and one day (after I had left, but before starting the new job) when he arrived in a bit hungover the MD said "Tell me where he's working or I'll fire you for being hungover". So he blabbed on me.

The next thing I know I'm having abusive texts and emails sent to me, a motorcycle courier delivered a letter ordering me to not start with the new company. He even went to the Garda and falsely claimed that I was stealing trade secrets - they told him to go see a solicitor.

Then he came banging on my door in a rage. I had to call the Guards on him.

Although the new employer initially supported me, after a while they said I had baggage and they had to withdraw the offer.

As for my old boss, I had to ask the Guards to get him to back off.

Yep, you old employer does not need to know where you are going.
> What the fuck? Seriously what the fuck?

Please stop overreacting, especially in this manner. Nothing says they're planning to implement it, for all we know it could be a preventive patent, so no other can use the technology without Apple's consent.
Sure there are hex converters and editors for Linux, but Notepad++ is a text editor that handles binary as if it were just another text file. For example if you try in Vim to edit binary files beyond very simple edits, it'll usually corrupt them. And from `hd file.bin | less` you can't edit them.
Hey Guys! I'm the founder of mailparser.io and I'm super happy to see this showcase of Michael on Medium. Please let me know if you have any questions about mailparser.io or how to pull data out of e-mails.
I don't swear much but you captured my reaction perfectly.
That's fair enough. The menu can be a little tricky. But if you've played it on and off for almost a decade like I have, then the key bindings are so natural that I don't even look at the menu. Should they change, the game would be unplayable.

I suppose for new folks, it can be hard getting into it, but for the rest of us, I think it works quite well.
Exactly. Don't design mechanisms unless you're happy with every policy from the set of all possible policies!
It's actually really ironic that it's so much faster than Windows' own search.

I have to disagree with this statement. It's kind of a resource pig, actually. When it got to the point it was affecting my day-to-day productivity, I deleted MsMpEng.exe from my hard drive, and now my machine is snappy and responsive again.
I assumed it was going to be snippets of VHDL, which is on my to-learn list.
I'm happy for people to augment DF with things like Armok vision and all the other tools, but I don't want DF to change in itself. That would totally ruin it. It's perfect how it is right now. RimWorld is fantastic, but it is a grain of sand compared to the beach that is DF. Which game would you prefer? The good lucking shallow one, or the feature-rich but slightly-less-sightly one?
While xenophobia may be the most important factor of the referendum's outcome, it should not be forgotten that a good part of Labor was never too hot on the EU either. Many people on the left regard the EU as a bastion of neoliberalism where a shadowy army of 30,000 lobbyists do a great job at defending the interest of big money. The lackluster performance of Labor during the campaign certainly did not help the remain vote.

This is just a thinly veiled advertisement for Algorithmia. Which granted, does look like an interesting product. However, as a side effect the "Math" in this "Book" is very light and all the code examples are just API calls to Algorithmia.

I think both the terms "book" and "understand" are used very loosely here. Understand the concept enough to use, maybe. I guess my bar for understanding is higher.

I don't mean to be harsh, just I prefer the title to tell it like it really is. After all, "5 algorithms web developers can use today on Algorithmia" might still get up-voted.

Also, as a side note, the "PageRank" algorithm is slightly misleading as it has nothing to do with Google PageRank which some web developers might be lead to believe based on the name.

"I totally understand the business reasons for their decision, but some days it feels like the game is rigged against bootstrapped companies."

Warning the user that it may be illegal to take photos is reasonable, but making a device that acts on the theoretical authority of someone else against its own/possessor is not. Taking your example of polls, it may be illegal for me to take a photo, but it may be my responsibility to do it anyways. For example, I may see visual evidence of large scale voting fraud within a polling station. It is similar for sensitive data and whistle-blowers.
Maybe you're reading in the wrong language. Try Spanish.
I've wondered for some time this weird logic of accusing someone from "populism".

It's two things in one package: 1. Admitting that your opponent is better at rhetoric. 2. Accusing his voters for stupidity.

Neither of these is helping you to win those voters back. It's in-group feel-good bullshit. As if you didn't want to get elected in the first place. Now shut up and learn from your enemy. Or alternatively call out their lies if they really lied.
I know 2 more use cases that have nothing to do with cinemas or concerts.

A past job I held was banking related. Cell phones were not allowed on the call center floor for fear of employees taking pictures of computer screens with customer data on them.

Install a few of these infrared transmitters; problem solved. Employees can still get texts / calls from family members / friends and customer data remains safe. You might need a lot of transmitters to get past the cubical walls, but if it's an investment the company is willing to make and the sensors are cheap enough - why not.

2 - a friend tells me she works for a US government agency and phones are not allowed in her building either. Same reason - to protect sensitive data; but the same, their about to have their first child and it would be important if she was at work and there was an emergency with the baby that she gets a call from whoever in a timely manor. Sure - you could call her office / extension but if she's not at her desk, in the lunch room (their instructed to leave phones in their cars), in a meeting, etc...

Most people don't abide by those rules; while I was there, we tried our hardest to enforce it. If IT saw a phone on the floor, we were told to report it; if security saw a phone, they'd have to hold it at the front desk, but people are sneaky - you can't search everyones purse, bag, lunch and you surely can't pat them down. Not with hundreds of employees coming and going all day. This could help fix all of that.

As I type this - can add taking pictures of a test in school and cheating. Add a few transmitters to a classroom.
I don't find any difference.
Except our patent system is so screwed up that may not be the case. For example, if you wanted to stop such idiotic policies being placed on users of any devices getting patent on doing it and then charging those that want to do it $500 million can prevent it from being done (for a few years anyway).

I am not saying that is Apple's thinking, I am just saying our patent system is so messed up that rich companies can spend a great deal to create tons of patents for things they have no interest in today because of the incentives in the broken system we have now.
Yes, because every patent a company holds is explicitly intended for public use. No one ever patents something because it's a new and unique idea right? /s

I'd argue Brexit was a neutral coinage, same with Bremain. Those terms dominate the press because of its simplicity but have a weighting effect on its readers and are naturally directing discussion into one side of the debate.
I fully understand where you're coming from. Its syntax is weird at times and everything has to be magically done with yet another package, very few things seem to be built in.

On the other hand, I don't know another environment that makes it as easy as LaTeX makes it. Markdown is easier but far from powerful enough; HTML is nowhere near as easy and just not really made for it; and WYSIWYG editors just suck as a whole. LaTeX seemed to me as everything I was looking for, even if the syntax and methods are from the eighties.

Additionally, enough people use it that support is also not an issue. There are almost certainly other languages that do a similar job in a modern way, but the thing is, my girlfriend studies math and she can read/write these documents too. The network effect works in LaTeX' favor here.
I'd argue that this is a bit too tin foily. But it is possible for camera manufacturers to build the logic into the camera's firmware.

For example, if it detects the infrared signal, it'll just send a blank feed to the phone's OS.
For us its life work balance. I just started a small game studio because that's what I really like to do. It's already a retirement project, sort of, because I only have to make the strategic decisions for our business and someone else is handling all day to day business and scaling the company. I just dont want to abandon the game studio project now just to make some investors happy. We have positive cash flow anyway.
Not so fast...without manufacturer support you can't do that. Also many parts of android are actually close-source. The only mobile open source OS that you can actually use, build, modify is Ubuntu
Also, the article says: "The researchers have no evidence to distinguish whether the altered gut microbiome is a cause or a whether it is a consequence of disease".

If the altered gut microbiome is a consequence rather than a cause, the cause isn't necessarily even in the gut.
As already suggested by FuNe, there are some books which can help (like the one he proposed, or maybe "Getting to Yes", which I have not yet read, though).

Out of curiosity, how many times do you use these words: no, don't, always, most of the time, 99% of the time, absolutely, they, sigh, boring.
I think it's important in such situations to assess whether the problem is mostly you or the culture. Have you had similar problems in other places? Is it this particular place? Most likely it's a combination of the two, but it's worth considering what amount of effort / potentially active dishonesty it will take to fit in with the culture of the place, whether such a culture is a good thing, and whether there might not be better environments for you elsewhere.

I strongly disagree with the people advising self-help books on helping one interact with people; I tend to think the later is a kind of prescribed culture bordering on forced. It's possible to be a decent human being and co-worker (and apparently has been, if you allow that people are decent) without reading self-help books and fitting in to other people's model of 'polite' and 'pleasant'.

Agree, The person who wants to record a movie will record it anyway, they can take just a different device to the cinema.

I saw once in Berlin a young guy punching in the face an old men who just complained about his misbehaviour during the movie. I wish someone recorded that.

My point is, it will hurt iPhone owners, but not the people who wants to record illegally the movie, those will find a way.

You don't pay extra for IO on EFS and some types of EBS (like mentioned here gp2). However, for some applications you optimize your storage to get most IO per $. In that terms EFS comes with some IO capacity as well as EBS. The point is that EBS is way cheaper in that use case.

Can you tell me which part of Android (AOSP, not Google Play Services of course) is close-sourced?
Well, it can be you simply aren't accustomed to working in very bureaucratic and slow environments. You either go with the flow or switch jobs.

I am toxic myself and I also have problems with it. So I try to constantly "monitor" what I am saying and how I am feeling. Sometimes it just helps to say to yourself "stop, don't overreact" and to force yourself to calm down. Sometimes we make situation out of no situation.

I agree with you! I remember that in a previous company I worked for, I had a few colleagues quite old (early employees of a startup which after 10 years got bought) who were toxic/poisonous (it was evident) and they were continuously told to change behavior.

However, they just didn't fit anymore in the new company's culture - which was bad in my opinion, but I can't imagine how fucked up it must have been for those colleagues, considering that they had seen the early great times - a lot of fun, a lot to do, good managers with a good attitude, and so forth.

Sometimes it's really due to "the others", and it's then that you need to realize that the earlier you leave, the better it is for you.
