I predict this will end up being a completely new platform.

It will share nothing with the present Android architecture initially. They'll probably shove in an Android sandbox, so that you can run some existing Android apps and stick them somewhere in your virtual space. But those won't be native apps on this new platform.

The new apps will have drastically different needs, input methods and such.

Consider the simple example of a new turn-by-turn navigation app. It will have a waypoint shown in your field of view, with an arrow pointing to the next waypoint after it. It has to 'stick' in a virtual location that corresponds to a physical one.

There's no way to do that sort of thing with the existing Android API, the concepts simply don't exist. Rather than have everyone write their own (like video games do that implement navigation inside the game world), they'll create a new API for this. And a whole new operating system.
I am similar in age and experience, but I also always kept myself in some special areas (C++ is one) where I have deep experience and knowledge. You wouldn't believe how much companies need/want a person who can be specific in an area, but also has generalist skills for that oh shit times. Frankly, how you get a job is by tailoring your resume/cover letter and being good at what you do and learning fast.

Here is what I mean. Let's say you see a job opening for a person with 5-6 years of experience in language X and you are fluent in language X and have projects you can point to or experience you can share. Tailor your resume to point to those projects and don't use a chronology based resume, use a skills/projects based resume. This way you can tailor it to each position where you have relevant skills. This is marketing yourself and selling yourself. While I say tailor your resume, never lie, just highlight things that are relevant and that give them a reason to want to call and talk to you. Then the fact that you are a generalist and can answer questions on 10 other technologies and processes etc, will add value for you not detract and make you look wide and shallow technically.

And moving forward, carve out a niche for yourself that makes you special in some way, don't lose the ability to do multiple things, but focus in an area.

If you approach job hunting this way, e.g. you are marketing yourself, you will have far greater success and have a far better chance of commanding the higher dollar.
I don't know which branch produces the most code, but military wouldn't be a bad bet I guess.

I can see the downsides though, like somebody publishing code with keys or credentials in it. That seems like a fairly likely error.
A while back I wrote jsonmerge, a Python library for merging series of JSON documents. The syntax it uses for specifying merging rules is based on JSON schema:

Win10's model and tech represents a lot of improvements for Microsoft, but essentially no direct benefit (and thus a switching cost) for Win7 users on older hardware, who are pretty happy with their system.

Microsoft promised support until 2020. It didn't promise "support until 2020 but only if you upgrade your hardware after 2016". Any other course of action would have gotten them a lot of bad press and some lawsuits.
That is concatenation. Intersection would be the ability to write something like "abc....&....xyz" and have it match the same thing as "abc.xyz".
I'm thinking less of the periodic inspections which aren't that expensive in the scheme of aircraft ownership costs, and more of the fact your average commercial jet needs heavy checks which essentially rebuild the aircraft every six years at a multimillion dollar cost even if it hasn't been heavily used. afaik the mandatory time-scheduled heavy maintenance on most helicopter types is comparatively limited and it's replacing components - according to flying hours rather than age - that costs virtually all the money.

I highly recommend the original Dark Souls from your description, if you haven't played it already. And in contrast to NMS's lonely, existential galaxy, Dark Souls's (subjective) plot tells a very human story.
> We live in a society where anywhere and everyone can have a gun at any time, and police are responding with fear in dangerous ways.

We have always lived in a society with lots of guns. This level of police fear is totally unwarranted (yes, I am well aware of the Dallas shootings, but they happened recently, while the police have been shooting willy-nilly for years). I blame the militarization of police, and indirectly the war in Iraq (from where a lot of these cops come from, having served a tour or two).

Both sides need to calm the fuck down. And aggressive, pumped cops who draw their weapons at the first chance need to be put out uniform.

Added later: I'd like to add that policing has not been this safe in decades. Last year 123 officers were killed on duty (which includes all deaths, including accidents, falls, etc.). The last time this few were killed (excluding last couple of years) is in 1959: http://www.nleomf.org/facts/officer-fatalities-data/year.htm...
No, not America.

What that cop did was straight up terrorism, and should be detained awaiting trial and treated as an immediate and persistent threat.
I wish! "On demand" here means waiting 2 minutes to match with a ride that is says it will arrive 5 minutes later, but really arrives 15 minutes later.

Commuting with Lyft/Uber requires planning because of the awful arrival forecasts. It's just easier to pull of because no one has to be the lackey that drives the full group (and spends the most time personally).
This sounds terribly familiar. Also, "Baby shark doot doo doot doo doo doo..."
It's absolutely insane how quick and willing the police are to use lethal force. It's a systemic problem and an ongoing national tragedy. To fix it we need cameras on every single officer and a complete institutional overhaul where basic procedures are reworked and violations are dealt with aggressively. Too many officers currently see zero repercussions for this type of illegal behavior, and it tears apart the social fabric of our communities.

That's a big lie there.

Laziness doesn't just make FFI harder (although it does do that too) it also makes code generation harder and implies the need for a sophisticated runtime. All of this makes the generated code bigger, slower, and more opaque.

A strict language can just skip all of that so long as it's willing to live within the limitations of the Javascript model. Scala.js does that for the most part and ends up with both nice FFI and a minimal runtime.

You've likely touched a bunch of industry verticals. Pick one that is heavily regulated. Get a credential that has status with the regulatory agency. Sign on with a consultancy that needs someone who can translate tech-speak for corporate executives and ameliorate regulatory concerns through the power of technology. Boring but stable.
The current MBP with the ATI GPU can even drive the Dell 5k screen when using dual-displayport. A coworker of mine uses it in this configuration. But there is a chance, the next iteration improves this, if it offers TB3.

Just because we have Brexit, Trump and the rise of populists everywhere doesnt mean that pundits have suddenly strayed. Pundits have since the time of Socrates been out of touch with society. What i see as the failure of today's pundits is lack of rigor, perseverance and their tendency to lazily put their eggs in questionable baskets (e.g. universal income). O tempora, o mores, this is the world of 140-character-worshippers and high h-indexes.
Embedded might be a good bet. First, it's a specialized skill that not many people have. Second, as everything becomes computerized, there's a fair amount of demand. Third, in many cases, 40-year-olds there are valued contributors rather than expected to turn into managers.
It's a fair point about the dilly-dallying (although I believe there are rules like you can't be more than 3 min late, tho I don't know how strict they are.) I've definitely had rough lyft lines where I seem like I'm really being taken out of my way. But most of the time it's awesome, and kind of fun.

But the important difference that pavel was identifying was that you don't have to decide ahead of time that you are heading to the bus station. That's huge! You decide to head downtown or whereever, pull out the app, bam someone's coming to pick you up. To me this feels very different than, e.g., "casual carpool" in the Bay Area.
I've never met someone else in the corporate world that contributes to FOSS.
Thanks, that does mean a lot to me. I wish I had more to share, but writing poems takes such a long time, and my day job (programming) seems to deplete my motivation for other kinds of writing. But those are just excuses.
This is truly frightening. A tiny (additional) mistake by anyone would have cost lives.

There will be many people defending the right to bear arms. But seeing this from another country and cultural background just makes you shake your head in disbelief. If police officers think they have to be that overly aggressive and cautious because of the general prevalence of guns, then maybe it would be a good thing to reduce it.

I understand though that once there are so many guns out there it is hard to reduce the number.

EDIT: There are more aspects to this, of course. Including better training for police officers etc.
That's the argument I use for not believing in assertions of existence ("God exists", "Pink unicorns exist"), because people basically don't think things exist that can't be proven to exist, but make a special pleading for Gods.

I guess you could argue that we generally assume a deterministic model exists and try to find it, but I hadn't considered that before.

> it is extraordinarily unlikely you will be asked your ethnicity during the job application process at any US employer.

Untrue.

> Employers who do that lose large lawsuits.

Employers who ask it during the application process usually do it in a manner which allows the data to be tracked in aggregate but separated from the application through the hiring decision process, and retain clear documentation of this process and its execution so as to be able to defend themselves against any charges of inappropriate use of the information in hiring decisions.

Many employers are required to report this information in aggregate, but I'm not sure that they are the only ones who track it for their own information.
Completely agree. It was hard to have an extended relationship with anyone. It isn't like being at camp where you will see that person every day. If you aren't a place for an extended amount of time, it can be limited to hanging out only a handful of times.

I wouldn't say I got "tired of it", but when the time came to come home and I thought about it, I realized how exhausted I was. Even though we felt like we took it easy, it was physically & mentally draining. I think the excitement masked it, potentially artificially, where I just didn't know I was so exhausted, but was. I've tried to think of things which might have been impacted by that.
GWAS isn't precise in any case. Adding a few bits of entropy isn't going to materially impair the quality of results.
It sounds like this officer was out of line. However it made me think that maybe this type of stop is a trade off you have to make for the 2nd amendment. A stop where a cop is overly cautious and ready to use his weapon at a moments notice because the other person could have a weapon too. Police here don't carry guns and I am not worried if they try to stop me. In America I would be very worried if I was going to be stopped and I would be extremely cautious and deliberate in my movements whereas at home I wouldn't think about moving slowly and explaining every action I was taking.

Edit: To be 100% clear I am commenting generally, not on this specific incident which, from what we know, seems out of line.
Depending on where you live (and how healthy you are), medical care/insurance may be your biggest single expense.
The sustainability practices that you mention are needed when the demand on resources exceeds the ability of the resources to otherwise replenish: a conservation problem. It sounds like in NMS it would be sustainable for a single explorer to attempt to strip mine the planet and nuke the whales since the influence a single player could exert is insignificant on a planetary scale.

I have also done it for about 3 and a half years now and for the most part I wouldn't change it for anything. It has taken me all through Europe, Asia, North America and Africa in that time. It allows me to see do and experience things that just weren't possible not that long ago. For example I am in Canada currently and am flying to Greece this weekend mostly just because. I will never get tired of that.

However, as some have mentioned there are some downsides that I find.

The two biggest ones for me that come to mind are while the lack of a routine seems amazing at first, it can seriously impact your productivity if you don't manage that properly and to me personally that is a constant and ongoing struggle.

With my girlfriend I have been lucky to build out a low to medium 6-figure consulting business in that time but my head sometimes hurts thinking of where things COULD be with more and better focus.

How much that impacts you (or how much that bothers you) is going to vary a lot between person to person. I consider it more of a personal fault than anything.

The other thing that has begun to bother me a little lately is all these hobbies you might want to do that aren't really possible.

To give you two examples last year while in New York, I took a course of woodworking, I absolutely loved it. However, when you pack up and move every 3 months you would never go out and spend money on buying equipment. I had another experience recently with guitar, I would love to learn it but to carry that around all the time is a huge pain that I just don't want to ever deal with.

At the end of the day, if it doesn't fit in a backpack, you can't really bring it with you. That can take some getting used to.
This is a much clearer explanation than others I've seen.
> Are just two people enough for the wide range of laptop and devices out there in the wild ?

because it is RedHat i'd guess they would target enterprise deployments and that would allow to focus on narrow set of hardware. Making good on those would allow the stuff to trickle down into the open wilderness.
You can use it more than one way. That's what linked data is all about.

Whichever shallow ideologies and narratives happen to be trendy. The sort that frequently spring forth from the rich vein of cultural authoritarianism that runs though most journalism these days.
Regarding d, this decision with Docker to use a daemon to control your processes (that is not init) continues to baffle me. It seems on the surface of it to be a really naive way to schedule your cgroups, but you could just as easily do it with a wrapper that terminates. Or just swallow that pill and go with systemd already.

I haven't seen any other container like system on Linux with that design. And I haven't seen it go zombie on me, but I have had it die on me for reasons I have never fully understood. There are bugs in there, just like with any young project of course. It's possible to recover from that state with intimate understanding of how Docker works, but it wreaks havoc on higher lever tools.
If I understand what OP means by "and", it doesn't mean "(abc OR def) AND (123 OR 456)" — it means "(abc OR def) FOLLOWED BY (123 OR 456)". Let's look at another example, with a hypothetical & operator:

/(\D\S)+/
/(\D|\S)+/
/(\D&\S)+/

If you look at the string "b5 ", the first regex matches "b5", the second regex matches the whole string because all of the characters are either not a number or not whitespace, and the third regex only matches "b", because that's the only character that is both not a number and not whitespace.
An EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is erased electrically rather than with UV light like an EPROM. Even if there isn't a possible attack with light, there might be a way to alter the contents of the EEPROM if you can manage some amount of control over the signals entering the IC.
Not America? In what other first world countries does this sort of thing happen with such regularity? Is it terrorism? Yup. We have a serious police terrorism problem in the US.
I wouldn't stop looking at consulting gigs just for bigger companies. A lot of them hire consultants then bring them on. you just need to show an interest in full-time, do a great job on your project and ask your manager for other things to work on.
Shaun the Sheep
The police treat their personal safety as the top priority, and have been doing so for some time. As a result, they are totally willing to hurt or kill others in order to prevent themselves being threatened.

My view is that their job is to protect non-police, not the 'boys in blue'. As such, they should be willing to put themselves at risk in order to 'serve and protect' the public, including suspects. Most police units should change their motto to reflect their current priorities:
"to serve and protect police".
Agree 100%.

If a user contributes to any platform, the information should be open for all to use. Including FB, instagram, or any review site.
I did it for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it but it is difficult. When people discuss being a digial nomad its similar to how people discuss sailing... it is glorified even though it is hard, we just don't talk about the hard times.

My experience is my own and can't be applied directly depending on what you are doing / where you are going but my experienced is based on:

- Being from the US and traveling South America
- Working full-time for a US based company (not a freelancer)

The hard parts for me were:

- Internet is significantly slower in a lot of locations which makes your job extremely difficult. Especially if you need to do voice/video. A digital nomad needs good / fast Internet.

- Culturally there is a lot of adaptation that you need to go through. Sometimes things are slower or more bureaucratic in other countries. Banking was a nightmare, had my card skimmed twice, and sometimes shipments/deliveries never arrived or got stuck in customs for months.

- A lot of entertainment in the USA (Hulu, Netflix, etc) are not available in other countries which means you need to VPN to the US when you could already be on slow Internet.

- Working from a laptop 100% of the time wasn't great on my wrists, posture, back, neck, etc. A properly ergonomic chair and keyboard with a monitor consistently at the correct height for your neck is a wonderful thing!

- Not having my stuff. No extra electronic equipment, tools, furniture, etc. When you are traveling a lot you need to be a minimalist which means no collection of books, soldering irons, etc. Which is fun for a few months but the 3rd time you have to repair the plumbing in your rental in Chile you wish you had all those tools you collected in the US :P

All that being said. I would recommend anyone do it if they have the chance. Being uncomfortable, exposed to other cultures, and just doing something out the ordinary is life changing and you become (hopefully) a better person from the experience.
Isn't this how science works? Even if "evidence" doesn't "vanish", your understanding of it could be invalidated. Truth is a temporary agreement.
For a stolen license plate? Let's be real here, it was an over reaction by the police officer given the circumstances for stopping him.
The taxi station near my commuter train station did this. When a train arrived the dispatcher would come out and ask everyone who meandered near the taxis where they were going and then pool people into shared cabs. They didn't even ask if you wanted to share or not, they assumed everyone did.
Banks basically don't use database transactions to record financial transactions. Instead, failed operations are rolled back with an inverse operation. It's done this way to ensure that there is an audit trail of every operation, rolled back or not.
I don't really have any issue with Yelp's terms of service. After all, user reviews are their backbone so I don't blame them for wanting to make sure that any Yelp review information needs to be identified as coming from Yelp / under certain restrictions.

Wouldn't seem fair if Yelp did all the work and any app or platform can simply piggyback off of it and present it as their own, or obscure where it came from.
Those search results are also full of lists of patches and workarounds. Often with followups a month later indicating Windows Update broke again.

Anyway to be clear - I don't need help keeping Windows 7 up to date. My (downvoted) point is that there are a lot of people out there running Windows 7 unaware that they are not fully updated, and hence under considerably greater risk.
i'm not white, and i also like sports cars, which means i'm pulled over a lot.

i think a lot of white people aren't actually familiar with the 'protocol' because they've never really had to think about it. but here it is, for those of you who don't know it:

when you get signaled to pull over:

1. turn your blinker or hazards on, and start to pull over
2. pull over in a safe spot away from traffic, but without going too far away from the main road. oftentimes the officer will get on the loudspeaker and direct you where to pull over.

3. while you're stopping, ROLL YOUR WINDOWS DOWN (this is apparently what he forgot to do)
4. once stopped, turn your engine off and put the parking brake on
5. put your hands at 10 and 2, ON THE WHEEL
6. look into the rear or side mirror so they can see your eyes are on them and not something else.

i guess it's just getting to the point where even white people have to do these things. probably because of the meth / heroin epidemic.
> Classically, id(x) != id(x) is logically inconsistent.

Equality is domain dependent. For example ∞!=∞ could be justified, as can (0/0)!=(0/0). In the domain of real numbers, equality can be an undecideable problem[1]. I guess the designers of these languages had to choose between tolerable defaults or throwing exceptions. I'm happy with JS doing this:

% node
> 1.0/-0
-Infinity
> 1.0/0
Infinity
> 0/0
NaN
> 0/NaN
NaN
> 1+NaN
NaN
