Apple thinks my Dell U2410s are TVs when connected over HDMI, and uses YPbPr colour space, and some weird stuff because of it. There's no way to tell the OS that it's a monitor without using an EDID override, which is now extremely difficult to do because of the system file protection in 10.11. Pain. In. The. Behind.

Don't even get me started on the couple of years when you couldn't even really use a second monitor after Lion. Dear god.
I love all my Xiaomi products. The Pistons are great, the power bank is fantastic, the Mi band was super useful. I don't know why GP hates them.
I wouldn't have trusted Cassandra back then either. 0.9, 1.0 or maybe 1.2 was reaching sufficient maturity to actually be recommended. Modern Cassandra has come leaps and bounds, with the 2.x series finally becoming stable this year and just recently 3.0.x finally getting blessed by the community as stable enough for production. And ScyllaDB hot on their heels.

What I fought for
You cannot make any conclusions about climate change from the temperature over such a short time span.

Only a couple of years ago, people were saying that this climate change fad was a load of rubbish because the temperature had stabilised for a year or two. That's not how it works. Hot years and cool years will always exist. What climate scientists are very sure of now is that the long term average trend is upwards.

Yes, these record temperatures are supporting evidence of the upwards trend in temperatures, but they are not in themselves a sudden change in what we understand of the climate.
I disagree. Dropwizard itself is really simple. The frameworks like Hibernate or HK2 are more complex, though. But there is definetely no magic involved.
Saving (as distinct from investment in productive things) is also bad for the economy. A small amount of buffer may smooth the working of the economy, but stored cash/assets are dead weight - it's better if people are spending immediately, keeping the cash circulating into productive things.
You're the first person I've seen make this point. All the way down here, and it's by far the most glaring issue with this picture. Apple's services are kind of a bit flimsy. They're at best an expensive value added service for their devices. The only reason I use Apple Music/iTunes under Windows is because I have an iPhone. Otherwise I'd probably be using Spotify.

Apple is a devices company first and foremost. The services augment these devices. To say that services are some kind of a way forward for growth neglects the fact that these devices are a gating factor for these services.

Services are an enticing revenue model because they guarantee a steady income, while developing a good device experience is "hard". But it's a hard way to make money, with your revenue constantly consumed by labour costs. Only "products" can provide the kind growth a devices company needs. Leo Apotheker got caught up in this with HP - thankfully wiser minds prevailed and they backed out before it was too late.

That's the problem with modelling nonlinear systems. Your approximations work OK for small changes, but might diverge dramatically for larger deviations from the starting point.

This is why we need to completely stop producing GHGs as soon as possible. The longer we wait the further we slip into unknown territory.

I have no doubt that climate change is a problem. I have kids, I dont want to give them a hospital pass.

I've tried to stop living such a carbon dependant lifestyle but I look outside and my efforts feel futile. How do I REALLY do something about this other than a few pretentious yet barely discomforting lifestyle changes and the odd empassioned few sentences at dinner parties?

Start pushing for a carbon tax?

Start an electric car company?

Begin development of technology to get us to Ma.....oh wait

Plant heaps of trees?

Buy drones and start my own version of operation sunscreen?

Seriously. The mild excitement that comes with media alarmism has transitioned into "I really need to start doing something drastic or I'll regret it"

"So people who never play football shouldn't get to score goals?"
Once the market is established, the barriers to entry for a new platform are formidable. Look at the desktop OS market. Today it's dominated by MS Windows and OSX. 10 years ago it was dominated by MS Windows and OSX. 10 years before that it was dominated by MS Windows and MacOS. 10 years before that it was dominated by MS DOS and MacOS. Apple and MS have had the market carved up between them for 30 years. Competitors have come and gone and barely left even a scratch on the market.

It's not about the bare OS, it's about the ecosystem. The reason NeXT never took of is that building an ecosystem in an environment dominated by existing ecosystems is almost impossible. But as soon as it was able to infiltrate the Mac ecosystem it took off.

Even Microsoft with all it's market power, tools and software businesses and mind share wasn't able to crack back into the mobile market once iOS and Android had got established. The article is right. It really is over. iOS and Android will dominate for at least the next 10 years, and probably the next 20 or even 30 years. The sky's the limit. They'll have to keep working hard and not totally screw up, but even given MS utter debacles with Vista, Win 8 and Win 10 and their awful developer story over the last 10 years they're still dominant on the desktop. Them leaving gaps in the market left space for OSX to grow but no opportunity for a new platform to get traction. That's how powerful an established platform ecosystem is. It has massive market inertia.

So why did Symbian, BB, etc die so fast? They weren't platform ecosystems in the same way. You couldn't build a ten billion dollar software and services industry on Symbian or BB or even the old Windows Mobile. Thousands of companies worth aggregate tens of billions live or die on Android and iOS. The same goes for Windows and OSX. A new mobile platform isn't competing just with Apple or Google. It's competing with those thousands of companies worth tens of billions of dollars in each ecosystem. Those are going to be around for a generation, possibly several generations.

Imagine going back to 1986 and asking someone who the two software companies dominating the desktop OS market would be in 30 years time. The Mobile market was at the equivalent point in 2010.
I think it's pretty irresponsible to have things hooked up to the internet that don't receive security updates. I would support legislation that forces vendors to fix security problems for free for all devices with network interfaces for at least five years, better ten. It's only going to get worse once the IoT really gets going.
While this is little more than simple steganography, I'd be curious to see what kinds of encrypted data size / video size ratios are achievable, perhaps using some more nuanced techniques or approaches.

It's definitely an interesting idea, but it's really nothing new. I remember a few years ago reading about people hiding compressed .zip archives inside of jpegs or something like that.
It seems pretty clear to me what is going to happen over the coming century.

The world has turned a blind eye to the millions dying from starvation and preventable disease. And will do so again when tens to hundreds of millions die from the effects of climate change e.g. starvation, flooding, heat waves etc.

And as the disaffected and left behind turn to terrorist acts to vent their frustration the rest of humanity will close borders, become more xenophobic and intolerant. Governments will be polarised to the extent that they will be largely ineffectual.

Ultimately it is going to be the likes of Tesla and hopefully Apple to make electric cars a lust item, scientists to finally get nuclear fusion, carbon storage and renewable battery technology working and entrepreneurs to glue it all together.
You know those youtube videos which offer additional content in the description ? We can just enable a browser plugin to retrieve these files from a small corner of the video (displaying dynamic qr codes).

except that temperatures dropped in June by a large amount after El Nino started to wane. The La Nina that is coming could once again stall the "warming". Let alone, the warmest title is for years since 1979, its not like we have satellite data that is accurate and going back that long. We do however have drought data including some good numbers out of China that shows clear cycles in weather for centuries.

So long story short, we don't know why and we need to quit acting other wise and put more effort into correcting models so that they are least close to predicting what has occurred over the last few decades of known data. If a model cannot reproduce what has happened it cannot be reliable in predicting what will. How can we not fix them?
That is a bit silly. First of all cash is just a medium of exchange that we have refined to the most frictionless method possible. Without it we would just be exchanging some other tokens of value. Secondly Not everywhere has access to the tech that we do, such as credit cards and ATMs, ApplePay and Android Pay. A lot of the world relies on cash, so it would be ridiculous to suggest it would be illegal.
Sigh.

Youtube deliberately has the "upload a video" feature. It's not a mistake. It's not a security hole.

There is enough food in the world, with capacity to produce much more. What isn't enough is money in some places to pay for it.

Giving food for free works, but this is a short-term solution. A long-term solution is making all people productive, but this is a hard problem.

Unfortunately, nothing comes close to ThinkPads. I dislike Lenovo a lot and would ditch them at first chance. No vendor wants to be that chance though. (Proper keyboard, 3-physical-button pad/point, not too hot, etc.)

I'm not too concerned about Superfish - that was only the consumer junk, right? The BIOS-Windows-auto-install stuff was more concerning. But hey, little choices. Lenovo is certainly incompetent - look at the X240/T440 with the terrible pad design they backtracked on (obvious). Or the Carbon keyboards they ended up ditching.

Owner of a some high end phones, all Android.

Almost all have annoyed me seriously. My last Z3? At some point Sony thought it was a good idea to start pushing ads (totally out of place Amazon shopping link.) into a really expensive phone.

Before that: 3 really not impressive Samsungs, 2 S3 (one bricked) and one Note II.

iPhone? There is a couple of reasons I don't use them: lately because other top if the line models have been waterproof. Before: iOS was just too limited for my preferences.
Biofuel is crazy. It produced massive ecological and economical damage, ruining supply chains for generations ahead. Who and why ever thought it was a good idea?

Use Windows for the metal OS, then run Linux on top (VMware or WSL). Best of both worlds.
Plasma is as brittle as always. Years in and still is half finished. Like the developer rushed to implement the mockup so it looks good in screenshots, but then polished absolutely nothing about it.
While I do not immediately agree I can see one nice side effect:

It would maybe limit the rate at which new imcompatible things are sent to market: if you have to support that stupid thing for a number of years you better get all the drivers into some sort of mainline kernel etc etc

I'm generally very sympathetic to regex bugs (especially in a language like JavaScript where you don't get nice expanded multiline regexes with comments), but I am wondering why they went with a regex in the first place. Did they decide `document.location.host` was too brittle for some reason?

I do think that Xiaomi's new laptop will meet its first explosion after on sale for a week, like any other Chinese products. I also think that Xiaomi is just a counterfeit of Apple for only Chinese to enjoy.
Frankly, I myself, is a Chinese. Yes I do live in Hong Kong. But I dislike Xiaomi because they are just thieves without creativity and inventive. Xiaomi used to be only a theme mod for Android, also known as MIUI. Gaining popularity and monetary only in China, they delivered their first phone that looked exactly like iPhones' with potentials for Chinese government installing backdoors. See Lenovo for examples.
There is also reports Mi Red had suspicious internet activity that goes into servers centralized in Beijing with high amount of sensitive user data being sent.
They also had produced drones that exploded in midair during a promotion stream. Fortunately no one is hit by that burning beast.
They had bands that almost did nothing besides making your hand or wrist heated.
And now, they want to make a forgery of Macbook. I cannot expect something well to happen.
Besides 'shame', I cannot further describe Xiaomi, maybe also the entire IT ecosystem of China filled with pirated and fragile products.
Sarcastically their CEO, when introducing their new, pioneer products, also goes the "Job's way".
'One last thing'.
The black t-shirt and trousers.
Every single bit they can rip from the Apple are exhausted. Due to the internet blockage of China, the Wall, Chinese never understand that their acts are harming the world, the intellectual properties. They only wait for their opponent to move, analyze it, make a replica for it, denying others to take action of it. This is the reason Chinese always go behind the world. This is the reason Japan can easily beat China. No it's not being passive, but someone who shamelessly ripping off the benefits others had diligently built.
This is not the China I ever dreamed of. But we had to accept it, China are weak. And so she became a shut-in.
The machine on which I installed Linux had a Core i7 4770, so it came with an Intel HD 4600. This chip did well, but of course the performance is not enough, so I installed my GTX 770. The proprietary driver made many problems, reported wrong refresh rates (Compiz never got above 30 fps, unless I manually told it the refresh rate, which breaks my multi monitor setup). I tried mutter (Gnome 3), Compton and Compiz, but none of them could easily deliver sane, smooth 60 fps using vsync.

Kwin from KDE actually managed that, but the performance was very bad, whenever I started playing a YouTube video for example, scrolling got choppy and to a maximum of 30 fps.
I also have a Redmi 1s phone and I have been getting the updates regularly
How is that best of both worlds? That sounds more like a Frankenstein to me.

You will soon come back after you realize how badly broken any other combination of hardware and software is.
Although it is very easy to add dependencies via Maven or Gradle, this does not prevent you from shooting yourself into the foot. You have to manage dependencies, including transitive ones. If the application has too many conflicting dependencies, then use classloader isolation (e.g. OSGi).

It is a littlebit sad, that there are no javac warnings enabled by default that at least check known classes for conflicts in the classpath. An IDE should do that by default, too.
My interpretation is. How I could create a web page that give ME all the commonly used site's passwords for ANY last pass visitor who has autofill enabled.

So no, I don't think it will only give you your own passwords.

>C is still #1, but big data is the real winner

Give me a break. Big data is a wonderful buzz word that means everything and nothing. It also has no relevance to the language. You can write awesome big data apps in C or Java or WingDings just as you could anything else. All it takes is a programmer who knows how to choose the right tool and the right constructs for the job.
MI3 released in 2014

First real update(android update) it got was in July 2016 .

also, you cannot delete your i.mi.com account

you cannot delete the data once uploaded on i.mi.com ( so called MI cloud).

You can keep writing them emails and they will refuse to answer.

their service center is pathetic. ( not few, not in exception cases, but in all cases).

forget about security updates, you do not even have encryption option in MI phones.

phone->settings->security->encryption -- this option is absent from MI phones.

No MI phone can encrypt.

The worst part is their online fanboys on MIUI forum , and their forum rules, they actively delete the posts which show the cheating they do .

There are some bloggers who ALWAYS, ALWAYS, WIN the flash sales they do on their website, The SAME bloggers always get to "experience" their new phones first.

Now, the same bloggers post youtube reviews and fool the people.

So, A person FIRST knowledge of MI products comes from viewing online reviews, and those online reviews are written by bloggers who are moderators in their forum.

By the time the normal people realize it, they have sold a million phones already.

Their marshmallow phones ( only 3 ) do not have

-- doze
-- back up to google servers

By MI devices at your own risk.

and see how pathetic and insecure is the website i.mi.com (mi cloud ) and BEWARE OF ONLINE TROLLS OF MI, they are everywhere.

It's a bit strange to think of representation only if your candidate wins. By that definition representatives (PMs, members of the house, house reps, whatever they're called) would stop being representative the moment someone loses against them. And there are a lot of contested electoral districts. (Sadly there are quite a few uncontested ones too.)

The quality of representation is a different matter. But yes, (representative) democracy is broken. Just as any collective policy making strategy that requires an expert majority.
