Thank you! I knew there had to be somebody else who can't stand flat design!

IMO, pseudo-3D appearances like Windows 95, NeXTStep, Mac OS 8, and early KDE/GNOME were the pinnacle of aesthetic GUI design (and Windows 95 in particular is the pinnacle of UX as a whole), and everything since then has been a step backward.

I think about the only GUI aesthetic I can stand that's come out of the 21st century has been the use of transparent glass on some elements, and that fad has already died off, sadly. I have my KDE configured to look like a Windows 95-ish design (i.e. pseudo-3D and gray) for most things, but render a small handful of other things with glass, and it works pretty well for me.
I haven't tried atom for a while now but it's startup time was also something that put me off from using it on a daily basis.
Bounds Check Elimination (BCE) in Golang 1.7
I care about systemd.

Thus all my personal infra is using variants of BSD fit for the purpose and I'm pushing for my next game launch to be on FreeBSD where POSIX/Unix is required.

Change is slow but it will happen if people can make convincing arguments against systemd to people who just want it to work and not break with the least amount of money.

Topics like this help my cause. It's not about grovelling it's about sending a message that "if you're going to try to be the alpha and the omega then we will hold you responsible when you fail to deliver"

Nobody asked them to do this, people fought against it. But here we are and they are absolutely responsible for the bugs they inflict on the world and their hostile attitudes towards other projects.
I must not excel at software design because I don't believe I can fully understand even a sufficiently complicated man-made software system.

It depends on how good those protocols and formats are. Let's look at OSI protocol stack which is failed miserably on that task exactly.

I think it's because people read top-to-bottom. If they had located the task bar on the top of the screen, they could have had programs listed on top and it would work for reading order and mouse movement.
I'd love to get some benchmarks going. It's not as high a priority for me right now as getting to feature complete (my definition of that anyway).

The question you pose though is awkward. MirageOS is a unikernel, Trust-DNS is an application, a consumer of the TCP stack.

I have seen Rust apps built into rumprun, but as of right now this isn't something on my list, in theory it's possible.

If you get to 5, make sure you are judgement proof, and any loaned money is unsecured credit card money.

I honestly couldn't care less about credit card money losses, but I've seen too many people with assets(home, profitable website, really good job, nice cars) get reamed in bankruptcy court. Or, they lie about assets. Lie about assets, but make sure they never show up anywhere.

And just because you lied about your income on that cc form; in 99 percent of the time, it won't be mentioned in bankruptcy court. Credit card companies use your credit credit score to give you of money, and I believe they still redline(give more to certain individuals). Bankruptcy lawyers know most people lie on those cc applications. Yes, it's technically fraud, but try to prove it. They just don't. Nolo Press has a glaring error concerning income, fraud, and potential bankruptablity. It think newer editions corrected it?

If you get onto financial troubles, try to be proactive. Learn about what assets are legal to transfer. Learn about statue of limitations. Protect yourself from these bottom feeders.

(I don't want to debate anyone on the ethics of the cc industry. I just got a cc plea offering me a 29 percent offer, and if I could do it again, I would have ripped up that first cc card sent to me upon graduation, endorsed by my school.)
Regarding licenses, most (all?) packages in the official nixpkgs repo have license metadata, and you can set your configuration to forbid/allow proprietary packages (the "allowUnfree" option), or use a whitelist (e.g. forbid everything except Flash).

Guix is a GNU project, and doesn't allow proprietary packages in their collection at all.
Are you applying to places where english is the primary language spoken? If so, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism:

While your post is definitely readable, the errors in it clearly show you as a non-fluent/native speaker. This may suggest to some that communicating with you could be difficult, and make you less likely to be recruited and add to HR preventing things from moving forward.

Perhaps with your free time you could work on mastering the language? It seems like you're 90% of the way there, you just need to work on the little details now. It would probably be a good investment on your part.

Some examples to help show you what I mean:

- "Every company anew want" - no one uses the word "anew'. This should read "Every new company wants", but you'd really be fine with "Every company wants"

- "And recruiter didn't helped" - could go a few different ways, but I'd suggest "And recruiters hadn't helped"

That's not exactly what the study is saying, which seems rather to be that it makes people more kinky, but less likely to try to seek out partners interested in the same things they are.

That, along with the fact that the authors don't merely infer or assume latent toxo in their subjects but have actually observed it, is one of the reasons I find this study interesting. That it should make people less likely to seek out outré sexual adventure seems strongly counter-intuitive in light of the increased risk-taking behavior generally supposed to correlate with the infection, and that is at the very least curious.
I think they're just really old - I have a vague memory of seeing an engineer armed with a 5 1/2" floppy disk. They definitely didn't do anything as fancy as showing which floors they would be stopping at.

The building's now been turned into posh flats - there's no way I'd consider living there (apart from being almost infinitely out of my price range) without being sure they'd been replaced.

Compared to most US news, the BBC is a shining star. You should watch some 24 hour US news sometime. Fox News, CNN or MSNBC are designed for the lowest common denominator.
Cats exposed to toxo have finished shedding it after two weeks. If your cat has not been exposed to the outdoors or an indoor/outdoor cat in over two weeks, they are pretty darn safe. Maybe give it a month or two if you want to be extra sure.

The notion of granting permanent exclusive right of way to anyone is decidedly non-optimal. What was once the most efficient use for that spectrum may no longer be the case, but now you have to fight monopoly forces in order to achieve efficient use. If spectrum were an infinite resource, sure grant permanent ownership, but it's not infinite. One spectrum grant precludes someone else from having access to wireless spectrum.

A much more efficient means would have been automated auctions for 12 month leases, combined with broadcasters having the capability to automatically switch to different channels as their spectrum portfolio changes.
Why would it feel different from sexual desire originating in any other cause?
The jump from 28nm to 14nm for graphics cards enabled a massive jump for mobile graphics card made by nvidia. They are no longer a seperate product from the desktop cards. The difference is so massive that even the lowest end model, the 1060, is 15% faster than the highest end mobile graphics card (980M) from the last generation.
It has nothing to do with being smart or dumb. Consider the way expertise in one field seems to lead many to believe they are experts in other fields, or as I like to put it, "engineers know everything".

You don't, for sure. But when half the security bugs seem to be related to memory corruption and buffer overflows, there are options. We've had languages that put more emphasis on being correct and safe than on performance, but people haven't been using them for much. C/C++ have momentum and people that know how to use them, so they are used. I'm not sure that makes them a good choice for security related work, where bugs sometimes counter the entire purpose of the library.

As far as the internet goes, it makes the case that Bill Gates saw the future, but not the immediate one. This left ground for Netscape to enter and momentarily control the Web.

I'd rather use Bill Gates' own words from D5 in 2007: "And [Steve Job's] ability to always come around and figure out where that next bet should be has been phenomenal."
It is not awkward at all.

You can build a DNS server with MirageOS and it is used like that in the context to the new Docker versions for Mac OS X and Windows, which is one example of being used in production.
You seem bullish on ARM and dismissive of Intel or AMD, not sure why.

NVIDIA is certainly ruling the roost because of CUDA+deep learning, but advantages in chips don't tend to last, and I do not see why this time would be any different. Could be a very interesting few years in the space.
Yep. Very similar patterns show up in the decision making and politics that drive the deadliest wars as well. Apparently it is very easy for both sides to convince themselves that they are made of tougher stuff than their enemies and that if they can just bear down and take the losses they'll come out on top.

Website Maintenance – 11 Tips for Web Designers and Developers Pt1
That's not true, it used to exist in the form of FolderSync, a productized version of Microsoft's SyncToy, which later became part of the Windows Live brand (IIRC as Windows Live Sync.)

Then it went away and never came back. Why? Because Microsoft released OneDrive, a DropBox-like cloud storage system, and the 100% free FolderSync was a competitor to it. Microsoft can make money selling OneDrive, they can't make money selling FolderSync, so it's gone.

Basically, the product you're lamenting doesn't exist used to exist, but no longer does because nobody can make money from it.

I used to use FolderSync to exchange multi-gigabyte video files with my friends while we were doing video editing, and it was an amazing awesome product. It was dead-easy to set up, traversed NAT and firewalls without any troubles, maxed-out whatever internet connection it had access to, and used the LAN connection if possible. Now we'll never see anything like it again.

... anyway, TLDR: the problem doesn't "remain unsolved", it was solved but is now no longer solved.
Not only that, but buttons usually had hotkeys (underlined letters) that made the OS very easy to use without a mouse. Until we moved away from Windows 2000, colleagues used to be amazed at how fast I navigated. With the precedent set by XP, many UI's became HTML-like, and instead of buttons, we'd have links. Mouseless navigation became impossible with more and more apps. And now, I've lost that habit.

I don't use Windows these days, but Linux GUI programs are not as well-designed as the old Windows programs, so I find myself reaching for the mouse every now and then.
Would love a citation for this -- benchmarks or such (of course I could lmgtfy for myself...).
Agreed! _A Random Walk Down Wall Street_ convinced me that asset allocation and saving regularly were the true ways to wealth in the stock market, especially if you consider $/hour of effort.

I still maintain that Windows 95 was the pinnacle of desktop UX. Nobody else, before, since, or at the same time, has released anything better.

Every Windows version since has been incrementally worse. Hell, Microsoft started ruining it with Windows 98, by merging Windows Explorer and IE into something really terrible. I still miss Windows 95 Explorer. And then there was Microsoft's obsession with trying to turn the desktop into a web page... they ruined a lot of things, like the Find utility, and several Control Panel applets with that.
Is there any plugin similar to this for Sublime?

EDIT: Not sure why I'm being downvoted, but I'm genuinely curious. I searched the package manager and google, but couldn't find anything that offered this functionality.
Yup, same. Nix was awesome, and i was convinced that for my laptop (OSX) and my home server, it was all going to be NixOS and Nixpkgs from here on out.

Then i started running into external dependencies.. one after another, having to patch them to make them work with nix.. it was just such a headache, and honestly i was in way over my head. I am not that well trained of a linux user, but Nix sort of required me to be. So, i had to backoff for now.

I really hope i can use it again soon.
Hmm, the little I know about game theory, wouldn't that competition actually be about "who writes the best (most uniform) random number generator?"
And now whenever I encounter a difficult moment learning new languages like Haskell or Pony, I try to remember my Ada/C decision and stick will the language whose compiler is trying to tell me I'm doing it wrong.

What this tells me is that the author gained some insight, but still did not learn his lesson: one of the worst mistakes one can make in programming is learning new languages, just because they are there. Pick at most three languages covering 95-99% of required functionality, then master the living daylights out of them; you'll become seemingly superhuman at programming, writing small, portable code in fraction of the time it will take dingle-dongs out there to do the same thing. Just because you know your tools so well. To be clear: it takes about a decade working in a language every day, eight hours per day, to begin to master it. So that's per language, and I wrote pick three languages. Don't cater to fashion, because there is always some dingle-dong out there thinking he can invent a new language where things can be done easier and better, but that's not true at all.

Selling is probably the most important thing you do in any professional job. You sell your managers, your peers, your clients, your partners. Some people cynically call it "playing politics." Now if you don't want to do all that I suggest you treat programming as a more "artistic" pursuit where you can pursue your passions making whatever your mind can think up, and try making money doing something else you're better at selling. Who knows, maybe given the freedom to program outside of a corporation you'll wind up creating something amazing that has companies beating down your door.
Meet the founder of Media.net, who just became a billionaire at age 34
Pleased to meet you! I've spent a lot of time on a bicycle here, especially last year when I was having trouble finding work and needed something to do other than sit home and go crazy. I never found it necessary to ride on the sidewalk, by and large because I was quite willing to avoid busy thoroughfares and use alleys or less heavily traveled parallel streets instead. Going a couple blocks out of my way seemed very much worthwhile when what it bought me was the opportunity to ride without terror.

Don't get me wrong. I know how scary it is to ride on a busy street - there's nothing quite like that feeling of wondering if the next car that overtakes from behind is the one with your name on it. Gets you right in the small of the back, doesn't it? That's almost exactly how it feels to be a pedestrian on a sidewalk with a bike overhauling - except in that case it's a lot more of a surprise, which makes it not one whit more pleasant to go through even if it is over sooner. Spare a thought, won't you?
What I found interesting, up until the Tiff issue, they were basically on par. The Sun programmer said his code would basically work with anything except tiff. The NeXT people probably knew this was a limitation of a specific library he was using and threw it in to make it less fair.
I've visited Spokane for weekends several times in the past decade, usually following the Stanford women's basketball team to games with WSU or regional tournaments. So I haven't any experience in living there, but for a tourist, Spokane's not large but it is very pleasant with a walkable downtown core centered on Riverfront Park and of recent years, several very decent restaurants. The airport is small but efficient with lots of flights to SEA and PDX and a few direct flights to SFO. Good highway connections in all directions.

WSU is an intellectual asset, a major campus, but it is located a 90-minute freeway drive away in the smaller town of Pullman, which don't get much respect but isn't so bad either.

Edit: Under the heading of intellectual asset, I completely forgot Gonzaga U, which puts some brain-power right in Spokane.
For anyone interested in the (broader) subject there is a surprisingly readable book on the topic: Gaining Ground: The Origin and Evolution of Tetrapods [0]

Unless you know how to cook. Then the analog controls are a godsend because they let you control the rate at which heat is applied to your food to a great degree. The setting you might use to boil water is not the same one you'd use to cook an egg. Ditto for sautee versus cooking a steak.

The problem is that the people designing UIs for products don't actually know how to use the products. They don't have any concept of how a user uses the UI. So they just assume that less is better without stopping to consider why someone would want to control the temperature of their stove.
True, but I think a key thing for us is that annual leave (which has a carry-over cap) is accrued separately from sick leave (which has no cap). That is, our annual leave is actual bonafide vacation time. In many workplaces in the U.S., employees have no paid sick leave at all.
I'm probably going to continue going "full math" in the foreseeable future.

I suspect that an internship offer from any of those companies will not be significantly based on detailed knowledge of any of those languages and I believe that there is no way that detailed knowledge of any one of those languages measured against the standard for detailed knowledge that applies at those companies is possible to attain in the next year. [1] Never mind detailed knowledge against that standard of all of them.

My advice:

1. Keep moving forward. Interns programming Java at Facebook are expected to have knowledge of Java at the intern level.

2. The programmer competency matrix [2] is a helpful way of understanding of general competency and general competency is likely to matter more in terms of hiring over the long term.

Good luck.

It's interesting they've gone for ad-supported for the ODE and NOAD (on oxforddictionaries.com) compared with the pay-to-view model for OED (on oed.com). I presume a lot of this is down to the different markets for the different dictionaries: the OED is a far more academic work, with its diachronic focus, when most people when looking up the meaning of a word don't care about etymology or archaic or obsolete senses. For the mass-market, ODE probably fulfils most people's requirements from a dictionary, and with its far shorter entries is undoubtedly easier to keep up-to-date with current linguistic trends as well as reducing the production cost.
