Tribes Ascend wasn't that bad during its early beta stages, though. I think that was late 2011 / early 2012.
It went downhill with the consecutive patches following the game's release in April 2012.
Changes to Trusted Certificate Authorities in Android Nougat
Vanguard index funds.
Battlefield 1942 came out 4 years later. Although it was incredible fun too. Its network code was infamous. Unloading entire magazines at point blank range was certainly no guarantee that you'd even scratch your target.
Does this mean that users will no longer be able to MITM most apps on their own phone by installing a custom cert and proxying all requests through another machine?

User-added CAs

Protection of all application data is a key goal of the Android application sandbox. Android Nougat changes how applications interact with user- and admin-supplied CAs. By default, apps that target API level 24 will—by design—not honor such CAs unless the app explicitly opts in. This safe-by-default setting reduces application attack surface and encourages consistent handling of network and file-based application data.
XMPP has the draft extension of Jingle, and there are Jingle extensions for things like file transfer. Similarly SIP/SIMPLE could be used, or WebRTC. Any of the three could be used instead of the mess we have now.
What is the other company they are referring to with the similar name?
> less typing wins when you're writing a lot of code.

This probably is part of the reasons: People that optimize for write instead of reading.

However, after python I consider "begin/end" marks redundant with indentation...

But then some people hate clear code, and prefer mess with the layout!
Collaboration is important -- especially in their expansive definition of "collaboration", which includes "getting along with others" and not kicking people.

But why is collaboration THE core, such that "Everything we do, in the classroom or at home, has to be built on that foundation." ... I could argue that good collaboration is built on a solid foundation of being able to think and act for yourself.
I just think the people who make Android are high on drugs or something.

For instance the subjective experience of using Android is that you can never close any app that you've opened other than by uninstalling it. Even after you turn your machine off and turn it back on you still see windows for every f--king app.

Then they run a bunch of articles about what an idiot you are if you try to close these because it won't save your phone's battery.

Well I admit I do have some cognitive limitations and it is --hard-- to scroll through 30 apps just to switch from (say) the web browser to the PDF viewer, but I guess Google thinks it is great this way because you always have a Google Plus window open.

Then there are all the articles about the fancy power management they are going to have someday that doesn't face up to the fact that an android device may or may not charge if you plug it into a charger, might turn itself off when it is running, and that the most reliable way to turn it on is to do a hard reset... And this isn't any old piece of junk, this is a nexus device.
It is up to the loan company then to ascertain if it is worth that much, let them sue the artist.

> If it's worth $Xm, it can be used as collateral for a loan

It is worth only that much if it is authentic. The "if" is pretty big it seems.
Makes a lot of sense. I complete agree. Thanks for the explanation.

If you're an Atom or ST user, give VSCode a shot. It has a few amazing features that I really like. For example JSON Schema based suggestions when editing JSON files or amazingly smart JavaScript engine are the ones I remember.
Django was released in 2005. That's MVC for python.

Ruby on Rails, 2005. That's MVC for ruby.

Zend Framework, 2006. That's MVC for PHP.
phpBB, 2001. MVC for PHP. But not generalized, specific usecase only.

Backbone.js, 2010. That's MVC for JS.

Sounds to me like in 2005 the web was pretty wild westy in terms of separating data from views and application logic.
> His suit contends that Mr. Doig is either confused or lying and that his denials blew up a plan to sell the work for millions of dollars.

Presumably the damages are being sought not for affecting the value of the painting, but for ruining the sale.

I don't see why the guy deserves damages on the order of the value of the painting though - if it's a true Doig, he can still sell the painting for the same amount (probably more given the spectacle around it), and the only loss would be the time wasted in setting up the sale.
The art world is full of forgeries. Normally the artist is long dead, so the authenticity of a work is evaluated by experts. If a work is deemed fake, the owner will just have to swallow his losses.

In this case, one would expect the artist himself to be the most credible expert... But apparently someone disagrees.
> I tried to post a refactor request, as a C++ developer I can't help but noticing C++ is not in the dropdown list :)

It is there...just as "cpp". The "+" would mess with the form & parser input :|

>I was thinking from my own experience, I have worked for big companies that have tons of legacy code that were written in subpar standard, sometimes developers were asked to refactor a piece of code written in a technology they are not familiar with. Have a refactor tool like this can serve as a mini contract to outside developers (or QA in some perspective).

Hrmm...this is a very interesting use-case that I never quite thought about.

Perhaps even encouraging companies to increase their employee productivity by using this marketplace to refactor old code and have them focus on more valuable tasks.

Very interesting idea.

Your idea about the group is interesting. Not sure if that exact implementation would work, but I do get where you are going.

I love these thoughts.

Thanks again!
That may be part of the reason why it was so good. In 1998, they had to make it playable on 56k modems, and a lot of those optimizations probably transferred over to smooth play over better connections.

Now there are fewer incentives to optimize to that degree...
I'm suggesting it is the wrong person. With the suggestion that due to the amount of money involved there is motivation to pass off artwork as Doig's when it is not.

People have a history of scamming for a personal profit. Throwing some artist's name on a painting when their paintings are worth millions, claiming they painted it decades ago, and trying to sell it for millions isn't too far-fetched of a scam. Maybe the artist doesn't remember 40 years ago and just says "Yeah, sure, whatever. I painted that 40 years ago." and you just made yourself $8,000,000 for paying someone down the street $80 for a painting.
The phrase "better yields" is exactly synonymous with "increased yields". A crop's yield is its volume, measured in bushels. There is literally no other way to interpret this.

Citation: I grew up on a farm, and my family has farmed for at least 200 years.

EDIT: This is a particularly weird reason to downvote me...
The person who bought the painting paid $100 for it in the 1970s.

The only money he's "missing" is theoretical money that might exist if it turns out the painting is actually by Doig. Right now, there's no damages, and it's ridiculous that the judge accepted this case.
I actually UPVOTED when I saw "implies a pretty big perceived power imbalance". It's possible that the downvotes took that as a negative where I was in agreement.

Downvotes (for whatever reason) mean that more people vote down than vote up (duh). As a result they can change simply because of the people that are reading a particular comment stream. Same comment on a different post could have entirely different results vote wise (at least when it's an intelligent comment as yours was).
I seem to remember that many companies handle compensation on the CXO level with a committee of members of the board. It seems they dropped the ball as much as she may have, or she did suddenly show those supposedly lacking skills when dealing with her superiors.
> cheap disposable surgical masks as a backup strategy. They won't prevent the air being polluted but they will still filter the tiny particulates in the air that cause so many problems.

This is such a common misconception. Surgical masks are meant to prevent the transmission of diseases by blocking blood droplets etc. from entering your mouth. They are NOT[1] intended nor capable of filtering particles from the air (except perhaps if they are visible to the eye). I see so many individuals in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and some in China wearing them, but the only role they can play is to (i) keep you warm, (ii) fit in with the locals, (iii) avoid spreading disease, (iv) keep bugs out of your mouth when riding with a moped down the street.

If you want to filter PM2.5 you need proper respirators[2] or activated charcoal masks that can do the job.

Whenever I put in temporary code like that, I always leave my full name, the date, and a snarky comment about "suuuuuure this is temporary". Seriously.
About a third of the way down the article it says:

>The retired corrections officer, Robert Fletcher, 62, said he bought the painting for $100 from a man named Pete Doige (spelled with an e), whom he met in 1975 in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

In short, no.
The article has quite clearly proven there was a man named Peter Doige who was in that correctional institution at the correct time and who painted landscapes.

It's just a different man from Peter Doig.

It's not a "forgery" made after Peter Doig became famous, there was no purposeful deceit here; it's simply another painting from another person who happens to have a similar name. It's coincidence.

The ActiveMQ brand has a number of distinct products.

Apollo started off as an attempt to rewrite ActiveMQ with non-blocking IO. Instead it became a separate project. Here's some history [1].

Yea the article is pretty content free. It claims at the end that a future post will contain actual content.
Let's not forget that both iOS and Android cripple HTML5 apps so as to favor native app development. I'm not a JS/HTML/CSS fanboy, but it's still a move to increase lock-in.
I'm not impressed with their answer to the second question. Knowing if your automated bug-finding tools manage to find all of the bugs introduced by this tool tells you very little about whether they will find bugs not introduced by this tool unless we have some assurance that the bugs introduced by this tool are somehow representative of bugs in general -- and I see no such assurance.

In fact is more complex than the article says, because Portia do not only eat other spiders. They also steal preys of other spiders and also eat an appreciable amount of spider eggs; egg sacs are a resource. Therefore "spiders with egg sacs can't attack me" is only one of the explanations. Another could be: "spiders with egg sacs worth the extra effort because is two meals for the prize of one", "spiders with egg sacs are starving and are easier to attack", and even "that spider just have some kind of round prey in its mouth currently, so should be well feed and have enough fat to create my own egg sac".

To claim that "that animal is thinking X" you need to discard or at least discuss all possible alternatives. Is very "annoying" when you design a experiment, because maybe you just do not have the money to cover other interpretations, and some kind of experiments have more possibilities to be funded than other.
Without market makers the trade wouldn't happen at all.
Does anyone have any reading material that goes into the issues with unaligned load/store? I'm trying to do some research for a blog post.
Those are just screenshots captured from the app you're seeing. If you switch to any OpenGL based app you'll see it restart.

FWIW Force Stop from the settings->app section will stop an app unless it's forced to be sticky because another service depends on it.
>The plaintiffs, who include the correction officer and the art dealer who agreed to help him sell the work, are suing the painter for at least $5 million in damages and seek a court declaration that it is authentic.

If it's in common usage, then it is in fact grammatically sensical. The strangest cases can refer to those cases that, as a group, are all stranger than cases outside the group.
So many replies here! In my opinion none of them make a case that either -er or -est is more grammatical than the other.

Even if this case is not the singular strangest, that does not mean it cannot be a member of ("one of") the singularly strangest group of all the cases. That is, the phrase "one of the strangest cases" would ask the reader to imagine that there is a group of cases, each stranger than any case outside of the group, which contains the case in question. (There would presumably be a group of moderately strange cases and a group of uninteresting cases.) It is a phrase so lacking in precision — appropriate for a subjective statement — that it matters not at all if "stranger" is used in places of "strangest," as the NYT opted to do, except that "stranger" only implies the existence of _one_ group of cases that is less interesting than the one containing the Doig case.

My wife is incredibly fortunate to work for a federal agency that allows flexible part time schedules (20-30 hr/wk) on projects that she finds interesting. We have three children (3, 4 and 6 yr old) and while we are spending her entire income on child care, it's a good investment in her future employment (and sanity).

I wish part time work were a good option for more people.
Some exchanges use text based variable length message formats. String parsing is very much going on even though its the bane of HFT devs.

You're joking, right? It took something like 3 months of near-constant patches before Tribes 2 would even run on my machine. It was the buggiest game I've ever bought, and I was shocked that they'd chosen to release it in that broken state.

By the time they'd patched it well-enough that it actually ran somewhat reliably, my friends and I had completely lost interest in it. Tribes 2 was a franchise-killer. I never even tried Tribes: Vengeance after that debacle.

(Tribes Ascend started out great, then became a textbook case of how pay-to-win makes good games terrible.)

What's so great with dynamic languages that justifies the performance hit? Most statically typed languages have type inferrence, which reduce the syntax to something very close to a dynamic language. And is it such a good idea to only catch mistyping at runtime, and require to write twice as much code with testing to compensate for the lack of typing?
I've seen that pattern a few times lately. I never used to see it. I consider it an absolute "don't bother to read this or the follow-up" indicator.

Thanks for saving my time.
I toyed with this idea a little while back; I wrote some very critical tooling in bash, and wanted to make certain that no matter where in the program I encountered an error, the second try would work (presuming I had diagnosed the error).

My thought was: These scripts are running with set -euxo pipefail. I can insert a 'false' line between any two lines, run the script, then remove it and run it again and I should still get the correct results. I never finished writing this test tool, but I still think it's a good idea I want to get back to.
> Didn't catch in the article if it was mentioned, but has anyone thought of you know, asking tourists why they picked to come there, or what they expect to see? Guessing the implication they can't speak English very well?

At the time, in late 2005, we were writing in (I believe) python 2.3 and had rolled our own web framework because it was otherwise normal behavior to hook straight into wscgi. "wild west" might have been a bit of an exaggeration, but the available toolkit was certainly pretty bare bones.

It was also quite early in web 2.0, and I still remember when we switched up reddit's frontend to start using prototype.js (which had just come out earlier that year). Being able to use the same ajax call in both IE and Firefox! Magic!
I appreciate you saying the external legs can be thought of as physical particles, since they are not technically physical particles. The renormalization groups tells us that those look like physical particles. Internally to the interaction this is not true, which is why they would be called virtual particles. But I see them as a pure mathematical relic of the perturbation calculation. Perhaps I am just not able to extend my intuition here. And likely a more depth description from you or someone else is not really practical here. I just come back to the fact that in the end, particles are just different excitation states of the system. There is a vacuum state, a bunch of states we would consider one particle states, a bunch more we would consider two particle state, and so on. Doesn't this cover all configurations of the system and there are no "in-between" or what you would call off-shell states? I think these only make sense when we are making an approximation around the non-interactive model.

This is good info. In 2005, Ajax all the hype but very new, Prototype just came out. script.aculo.us was the first popular library to add fluid interactivity like drag-and-drop to DOM elements. This is a year before jQuery.

On the Java front we had 'Model 2' frameworks like Struts 1. Struts 2 was brand new. Oracle had ADF and pushed it pretty hard. JSF was fairly new and nearly no one used it.

ColdFusion offered a complete package and was actually not terrible. MySpace was written in CF.

There was always ASP.NET.

But if you weren't coding in Java, CF, or ASP, you were using some bespoke not-yet-framework. I'd say 'wild wild west' is an apt description.

Under no circumstances should you invest in options. Options are risk hedges, not investments. You can't make money buying options for the same reason you can't make money buying insurance. (You can make money selling options, just as you can make money selling insurance, but not as an amateur, and not with a piddling $50k in capital.)

Index funds are your best bet if you just want to put the money away and watch it grow without having to work at it. There are some other reasonable choices, like investing in your own education or startup. This doesn't necessarily mean paying tuition or hiring someone. It might mean using the money to pay for living expenses while you spend N months working on a project of your own. You will most likely not see a direct return, but you'll learn a lot, and you can leverage that knowledge in the long run.
All these ES6 features can be transpilled to ES5.
