I can't help but say it - but nobody programs in Angular or React, people program in JavaScript. When using a framework like Angular or React there are plenty of reasons to use ES6 classes, whether in the view code, or in more idiosyncratic app actors like utils or business logic ... the benefits of having a standardised syntax should be obvious. Likewise, many people contribute to these libraries and frameworks, again using a standard syntax for common patterns is obviously beneficial to my mind.
So here's a story for the books. I live in Sri Lanka and we have massive numbers of crows always flying around in the urban areas causing quite the racket too. They are exceptionally intelligent and have been witnessed hitching bus rides regularly from one town to another. But the story I have happened at a school water polo match.

The location the match was being played at had a standard pool and a shallow junior pool right next to each other. During the match a wild attempt to score a goal missed the side and the ball smashed full force into a crow who was drinking water from the junior pool. This of course resulted in the poor crow's death. But what was amazing was that within a few minutes, every other crow in the vicinity had surrounded the dying crow and then decided that they would attack the spectators and the players. We had to clear the entire stadium and pool for a good half an hour till they allowed us to return (although they left their dead comrade behind who had to be cleared away by a hapless cleaning staff member).

One less impressive story but still relevant to the article. We had an antique air rifle at home that needed repairs. My uncle who did such repairs said he'd come along and look into it. That evening there were plenty of crows around as usual. Most of them were in the trees two houses away. I assume these were crows who had forever lived in urban areas and probably never been shot at let alone seen a gun. They've lived through plenty of fireworks and don't seem all that bothered by them whenever they do go off. But when I brought the gun out to show to my uncle, the ruckus caused was utterly deafening. And just like that, silence. Every single crow had scattered from the area. How they recognised an object like that and so instantly is a question and memory that has stuck around with me forever.

Amazing creatures who annoy me with their never ending din and tendencies to somehow make a mess of any garbage bag left out in the open, but they'll always have my absolute respect for their intelligence.
Yahoo's infrastructure - Packaging, deployment, configuration management, monitoring etc. - was all Perl about a year ago when I was there, and most likely still is. The recommended tech stack was: Java for large applications, Perl for smaller ones, and any kind of scripting. In other words, any library that accesses infrastructure would be available as a Perl Module. To me, it was interesting to see the same developers diligent about unit tests etc. when dealing with Java code don't exercise the same level of discipline when it comes to Perl.

Revenue and net income are standard, and (relatively) precise terms. Using "income" in place of revenue would only make it confusing to people who know the standard terms, while only marginally lessening the confusion of people who don't know them.

The encryption was just a way to prevent non-members from obtaining the benefits of membership. The relocation and rekeying was just a way to punish non-compliant members by excluding them, turning them back into non-members.
Yes, from everything I've read, the key to grasping a new motor skill is to break it up in chunks and then to really slow it down. This has worked for me, and the interesting thing I noticed is that if I don't break it down and do it slowly, the level of frustration from doing it even for a short while tempts me to end the session right there.

It'd be nice if we got email notifications about this. I wasted time trying to work out what was going on (and if the issue was in our local network).
GAAP is basically a huge bundle of compromises between corporations and the FASB. In reality, "revenue" and "income" don't really have rigourous definitions. Quarterly figures are also often adjusted in subsequent periods. Unfortunately, many websites simply gloss over this fact and just report the stated numbers.
Or, maybe, people know what their own interests are better than you do?
It's still better than letting anyone with just basic knowledge in. I mean, if a cop can learn to pass those tests, surely a committed pedophile can, with the twist that the pedophile would not find the whole process disgusting.

In a way, the test could be taken to be a deterrent to police forces, who presumably will be challenged by the prospect of having to learn the minutiae involved in child abuse.
Gb, chiama numero emergenze per denunciare furto Pokemon
Fascinating study. It really triggers questions around how animals' memory work - short term vs long-term, trauma vs joy, etc. I have a 2-year French shepherd (Beauceron) who, while being smart, has a very limited long-term memory. I am almost convinced that he cannot make the difference between waiting for me 5 minutes and 5 hours. At the same time, his trauma or joy memory works incredibly well: he perfectly remembers people he only saw 2/3 times when he was 2 months or objects that hurt him. I always feel like animals are trapped between an absolute lack of time and space consciousness and an incredibly sharp conscious of feeling
For the record, I never invested anything into ETH. I'm more interested in the general concept than this specific approach.

That said, human day-to-day oversight has also caused massive failures. Eliminating failures completely isn't an option, but the question is how to reduce them in the long run.
Right. I had to look up what GAAP means so I could understand non-GAAP.

GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

So what then is non-GAAP?

But lack of standardization in these calculations, plus the potential for creative accounting, make it difficult to draw relevant comparisons among companies or draw meaningful conclusions from these statistics.[1]

No, WhatsApp is not subject to the judge's jurisdiction. They do not have to cooperate, respond in reasonable fashion or anything.

If you can do that, you don't need Twitter in the first place.
In the situation where you're using Cortana to search your meetings you have to give it permission to access your data for two reasons - to tell it that you agree to allow it to access the information and to pay the price of using the service by giving it access to your data. The 'payment' issue is still there.
As a layman, vis-a-vis blockchain and crypto in general, the language of this post reinforces my sense of a community of very smart, dumb people who I wouldn't trust with ten cents.

Whenever I find myself looking at a topic which technically goes over my head, I generally have to rely on the way the people involve express themselves. The language of the Blockchain community is awful from that point of view. It reminds me of sitting in meeting with too-clever lawyers, lost in a world of cunning minutiae, oblivious to the fecking meteor about to land on their heads.
You want to them to email you to tell you your internet service is down? Er ...

Easy explanation for this that's probably correct:

- Your assumption that crows don't range outside the urban area is false.

- It would have only taken one crow in the group to be familiar with a gun

- That single individual recognizing it and flying off in a panic triggers the rest to fly off, a behavior typical of herd/flock animals.
Financial Accounting Standards Board.
The judge explicitly requested that encryption is disabled. Which would mean pushing an update that disabled WhatsApp encryption worldwide.

Also, the judge requested that "messages in the server that still haven't been encrypted" be handed over.

It just shows the complete lack of understanding of how it works by the judge.
not comprehensive yet, but we will get there!
It is weird to see Techcrunch faking the Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg with GAAP, "Street" and earnings per share expressions. Really not what I expect from TC... I can't help but think that good old days when TC used to explore new ideas and technologies are gone. Today almost all their writers just post update about a funding round, a developer conference or a new product feature. I wish I could get more in-depth articles about major topics like open AI, future telco/messaging networks, etc.
I am willing to bet that Bing revenue is mainly from packaged sales that MS does to its corporate clients where they bundle all their products. Other than that, I do so see any logic is paying bing to advertise your product.

I would love an email thst my internet service is down. Or text.
Probably because it produces confusing effects when people type in full sentences.

Yes, because email can be received on mobile phone which is outside of BT
Lots of people get email on their phones these days via a mobile data connection. Our DSL connection isn't 'down' - just really, really slow.
I see the point you're making (and I did laugh) but a lot of us get e-mails on our phones and would still be able to pick them up if our ISP went down.
Interesting approach of using a GitHub repo as a blog.
I understand that you don't think computers should be effectively reduced to becoming 'black boxes' to most people, but I wouldn't necessarily agree that the simplification and abstraction of operating systems to average joes isn't exactly a bad thing. It's been happening for a very long time and I would think some of those advancements - inteded for the convenience of these 'average joes' - ended up gladly used by developers anyway. I feel it would be wrongful to call the wider audience 'idiots,' - these average joes might not be so average after all and have special understanding in fields that I don't.

Another thing is not just handling adults, but younger people. Of course there are some kids that may take a keen interest in OS internals, but then there are those who will keenly take advice they see on the internet to delete System32, so there's the need for some degree of 'safety'. Although I suppose I'm extrapolating a little, as it's pretty easy to shoot yourself in the foot in most OSes nowadays anyway, in spite of the default protections Windows/macOS offers.

Carbonvote is an informal vote. It has no consequence in reality. That's why there was such a low voting rate.

As of now, the amount of ether you hold doesn't increase your ability to affect a fork. That's entirely controlled by miners. The amount of computing power you bring to the ethereum blockchain controls how much your vote counts.

If Ethereum switches to a "proof-of-stake" system as planned, then yes, the amount of ether you hold will effectively be how many votes you have in making decisions like these.

I have one that I purchased some years ago. Basically they all use the exact same type of blade, which looks like this: http://www.techsnippets.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/best-...

Basically the old razor blades that appear in movies when people have to cut themselves :)

The biggest difference from modern razor blades, other than taking up much less space, is that they are manufactured by different companies and so there is real competition, which makes them massively cheaper.

That said I still haven't been able to get near as good a shave with them as I do with the Gillette power thing that I have, which annoys me.
By full GUIs I mean something with a full-resolution, full-color framebuffer, not just character-mode stuff.
But twitter isn't a public service; at the end of the day, you're still playing by their rules and it is your choice to play with twitter or to play somewhere else. The difference in userbase between twitter and other services doesn't mean you don't have to follow twitter's house rules.

There's no reason a judge would need to get in on something like this, especially since Milo likely would be culpable by association under the US justice system, the result ultimately being the same. Personally, I don't like the idea of having to get the government involved in all online transactions - I'd like a place to say what I want where the worst that can happen is I get banned - it's not that I plan to say horrible things, it's that I don't trust when automated systems merge with state/federal law. (see: DMCA and youtube). Systems, even non-computer ones, can be gamed.

The US justice system has pretty much been gamed by this point, and it's a pretty expensive game to play. For someone like Milo, if Breitbart wanted to, they could bankroll him so he could play. For an individual like me? I can't afford to play the game. I don't want it to come to this, where you have to be able to afford participating in discussions online. You don't even have to say anything particularly egregious (or anything at all) to be the target of someone just fucking around with the systems.

I'd rather that the ramification for stuff like this was kept to accounts on websites instead of going to the courts.

Huh, so that's why my internet connection was timing out on a lot of sites earlier today.
That's why they all kind of suck.

I mean, there's a tradeoff - by catering to the use cases of the common man, you're limiting them to your interpretation of what the common man's use cases are. Computers are tools for creative problem solving - limit them too much, and you're literally taking away almost all the reasons to have one.

I particularly dislike ideas like "hide full path of folders" or hiding extensions for known file types - because it's in fact confusing the common man in a misguided attempt to help them. The filesystem and the way the OS interacts with it is a set of abstractions. Hierarchical folders and associating files to programs via name extensions isn't that hard to grasp. But when you obscure that abstraction, paper over it with some nice display features, you're taking away the ability of a common man to ever understand what's going on. When before one could be expected to maybe figure out a mental model for those things, now it's close to impossible - because the OS is lying or refusing to divulge essential information.

So I actually agree with dozzie's parallel comment. By treating users like idiots, we're turning them into idiots. And since "pros" are a market niche, we're literally turning mainstream computing into toys for idiots. It's a waste of potential, IMO.
We tried to use locally installed sharelatex instead of our SVN papers repository in our research group. Good god, did we switch back really quick - not only the install process is godawful (no proper docs, outdated instruction, outdated dockerfile, missing docker-compose, took me a week to figure it out), absence of any stability along with zero way to administer it properly (no UI for users management, you have to send commands through shell to provide admin rights) just killed it for us. :\
> I'd wager that their enemies were the ones who suffered the most from shutting down the slave trade.

This is .. not a position supported by historical evidence, and in fact it was the UK which suffered (stopped benefiting from) the slave trade.
This is nice, but I still want a "Shibboleet" switch where a single action sets lots of settings to what a developer is likely to want. Then I can focus on a few deltas, rather than a whole raft of individual settings and configuration changes made, usually, over the course of a week or two.

The only single edge razors I know of are the old straight edge razors (think the old west razors, http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Straight-Razors_c_9.html) and the newer shavette (https://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Shavette-Straight-Razor-Handle/d...) which is basically the straight edge razor but with a removable blade. I haven't heard either being refered to as a single-blade razor, though.
There are so many annoying if not dangerous default settings (like hiding known file extensions, virus.pdf.exe appears as "virus.pdf") that like many people I have scripts to do that.
