It's valuable when listening to people with thick accents, fast talkers, or on the phone.

With people who have thick accents, the reason is probably obvious; but with fast talkers sometimes it's needed to process what the talker said.

For example, yesterday I had to repeat back on the phone because the other guy had a very thick accent and was on a speaker phone.

Usually, the people who repeat back to me are people who aren't native English speakers; or people who aren't technical and need to make sure that they understand a point. I appreciate it.

No, that's exactly the point. If the browser doesn't support @support then it ignores the whole block and falls back to the regular CSS you've likely, or hopefully, already written. The article actually discusses this. It's a modern equivalent of the stupid hacks we had to do back in the day because of bad, or good in some cases, IE CSS implementations.
I suspect the manufacturers who want to use Android but don't want to use Google Maps aren't doing it because they hate Google Maps, they're doing it because they don't want to pay any licensing fees at all. They want to use Android because it's free, and rather than playing ball with Google they want to swap out all of the services with free or cheap local alternatives. The companies who are willing to pay something have no problem with Google because the fee structure is on par with whatever relationship they had with Microsoft/Symbian before, or maybe cheaper because Google is monetizing with ads.

If Android was 100% proprietary, these bargain manufacturers probably wouldn't be looking at it in the first place. They would be using Ubuntu Phone or Nokia Linux or whatever the open source phone OS would've been if Google hadn't grabbed the brass ring.

That's the theory anyway. I your OP poses a very interesting question, and perhaps a cautionary tale for open source companies. Still, many open source companies do just fine selling services without strong-arming people into buying them.

Say I want to search a shirt of specific brands only e.g. "Calvin Klein" and "Versace". If I misspell the name, Amazon won't complain, rather it'll show the incorrect brand name in the left pane. Would it be easy to add auto-suggest for brands so that I get the name right.

I'm lucky enough to be Canadian and we've had universal parental leave for some time now, though not at full pay. Of my group of 5 close families, all of them ended up taking some form of parental leave. One parent was initially told no by her company before she pointed out that the government enforced this and the company couldn't say no.

Most did things like rent a house somewhere else and stay for 2-3 weeks. All of them still rave bout this as being some of the best times of lives. If you do ever get the chance to do this, I recommend doing it with another couple in the same situation so you have a built in baby sitter so you can go out to diner without having to worry about who is watching your new born.

Just to show the other side, one of my friends sent out this article below to highlight the downside of parental leave. As this becomes more common, I think companies will learn but it can still be a sticky topic.

Applying YAGNI to security should be an immediate red flag.

As I say in a cousin comment, good taste is just 3rd order laziness. You're doing less by avoiding future trouble.

To armchair psychologize a bit, I think that enthusiastically embracing an acronym which, whatever its conceptual merits, is just so lame-sounding correlates negatively with taste

Wouldn't you prioritize conceptual taste over aesthetic taste? YAGNI probably sounds goofy because it was created in the late 90's. It was part of the original Extreme Programming formula. The concept is as solid as such concepts get, however.
I think he/she means to say we never know what they are doing later in life most of the time. I assume you've seen stories about kids who are very intelligent and there would've been news about child prodigies every year since decades so why don't we hear about the ones who are adults today?

My take is that there are those child prodigies making great scientific progress but we don't hear about them because they want to keep their past private.

Although I agree the quotes kinda give a doubtful vibe to the child's prodigy, which I definitely disagree with.
> Using a <select> is still much easier than using React's implementation of it.

Yes, of course it is. But reading a tutorial about how you could implement something so understandable as <select> using React is a pretty good guide to understanding React! At least, to me it seems pretty great.

I've taken that advise and learned a new language every 18 months for most of my career. I mostly used the language on side-projects, but occasionally on work projects for internal tools. Occasionally, a language I had learned 3 years prior became "the next mainstream thing" and it was easy for me to "reinvent" myself based on these past investments. So it can be a more organic evolution.
And they won't be trusted or used by large carriers for serious POPs for many years. New manufacturers have tried to show up on the market and sell routers that are designed to be highly redundant and offer a full suite of layer 3 feature set to handle full global v6/v6 routing tables. They've either failed or been acquired.

Major ISP backbones are very risk averse, when you're trying to run a six nines availability IP services POP. The routing software needs to be rock solid and mature when you're looking at a twin pair of core routers in a node that might be handling 200-300 Gbps of traffic and critical edge peering/transit connections.
Some comment service providers like Disqus only load the comments if the user scrolls to them, while others only load if the user clicks on a button. If these services' analytics tools don't track this, they should. I'm much more interested in how many people interact with the comments section. This includes posting, lurking, voting, and flagging.
Yes certain Audi models were bullet proof! Also Mercedes certain models were known to go well over 500,000miles. They were used widely as cabs in europe.

Token bucket is a good idea, and I agree that it would make the user experience of hitting rate limits less onerous. We implemented sliding windows because they were straightforward to implement based on our long-term database state. I'll do some thinking about whether we can emulate a token bucket style on top of that without having to add another source of truth for rate limit information.
Hello, I am the person who submitted the link. I got to know the Nvidia story last night because a long-term friend who works there posted it on social media. He is newly wed, so he is understandably very excited about the new policy about paternal leave.

It is indeed an interesting coincidence that there is another story about parental leave at the front page.
I don't think like gender words too should be treated as some sort of rainbow and treated in an arbitrary fashion. There is a good reason why we humans think of "theft" as a bad thing. The author uses a "different definition" yet while trying to benefit from the negative connotation of the word's commonly understood meaning.

This is the same trick that advertisers use (Police don't like this new insurance rule) or politicians deploy (calling a person sexual offender when he was merely peeing in open) but I think journalists should show far more sense.

Agreed. It is likely to work pretty well with a format that is very close to plain text like LaTeX most of the time.

Git's resolution strategy is diff-match-patch of text, so it is a good analogy. However, the thing that Git does that CRDTs and OT string types generally do not is create conflicts requiring user intervention before proceeding.

If you are realtime editing concurrently, this might be acceptable, because the users might be able to see the conflict and resolve it. However, I'd say a clear UI for conflicts is the key reason why Git is able to more intuitively and safely deal with concurrent edits of non-plain text using a plain text algorithm.

There are over 1.4B Android devices worldwide. Over 13% are on the latest version. New Samsung device sales are strong. They own search and their app store.

How is that not a big advantage? Sure it's overdue, but they sold over 1.4B devices without it. It makes their offering more compelling to iOS users who've come to expect FaceTime.

There is probably a registry value you can change to do so though.

>cultural issue

I understand, and I think that's probably the most difficult problem of the two. I'd just like to point out -- in the interest of discussion -- three things:

1. Pre-filtering for moderators is different (much safer) than auto-banning by a bot

2. It's valid both to filter informed opinions that are poorly expressed, and for a publisher to have a preferred "voice", i.e. a style of writing that it favors.

3. The argument can be made that machines are no more biased than human editors, and that in many cases, the biases of the former are known. As a corollary to this point, there exist certain ML techniques (e.g. randomized forrest classifiers) for which the decision process of an individual case can be retraced after the fact.

How do you think publishers would respond to these counter-points?

>technical problem

Counter-cop-out: someone has to be the first!

Somewhat-less-cop-outy-counter-cop-out: by your own admission, certain sites (e.g. Reddit) have high-quality automoderators.

I would argue that the problem is "approximately solved" and that this is sufficient for the purposes of moderating an internet news publisher. Again, I would make the signal-detection-theoretic point of my previous comment: I can selectively bias my automoderators in favor of reducing either false-alarms or misses. Of course, this brings us back to the cultural problem you mentioned.

By this I conclude that the bottleneck is cultural, which brings me to a follow-up question: what do you think is driving the increased tolerance towards accidentally censoring a "decent voice"? Is it the understanding that it doesn't matter so long as a critical mass of decent voices are promoted?
Cache hit rates aren't as important as you seem to think. If you're not google, and your app doesn't have hard/soft realtime constraints (videogames, flight control systems, etc.) your app will probably be fast enough. You'd be surprised how fast computers are nowadays...

>If you are locking memory/data structure
locations you are likely doing something wrong.

Oh, concurrent memory fences! Well, that solves all my problems. Let's see. All I have to do is give up all hope of my code ever being portable to mutiple architectures, and than dig around in asm to add support for them to my environment, which can range from mildly annoying (C), to near-impossible (JVM). Or I can use fork(2), and do what programmers have been doing for decades: trading performance for simplicity, and productivity.

That'll be a really hard decision.

Thank you for the link providing non-anecdotal evidence that a real-name policy does nothing to discourage aggressive trolls. I run a Facebook page with a moderate number of likes (~75K), and the fact that the trolling was, if anything, louder and nastier than in a comparably sized community on reddit, was one of the first things I learned.
> So... just about everything that's not complete garbage that children eat?

Excluding the things on that list still leaves lots of fruits and vegetables.

I know you're being facetious, but small children are at a very serious risk of asphyxiation, and this daycare has four month olds which cannot really handle solid foods yet. So yeah. Modern children need to be taught how to chew, eat, and not asphyxiate. Ancient ones did, too.

You've misread my comment if you think I'm defending the practice. Merely saying it's a long established standard practice for MS.
The issue is private security can be a large liability, since they do not have the same legal protection as police. At the wages Wal-Mart pays, you would have poor training, and all the police academy dropouts who still want to have some authority. Should they offer better wages? Probably, but it won't happen.

It seems like paying off-duty cops would be the best solution. Lots of businesses with security gates already do this.

I don't think any past or present employees are surprised by this. Cisco has always been a volatile place to work (at least since the dot com bubble) where these layoff rumors start every 4-6 months; and more often than not they do occur.

This kind of uncertainty is unsettling to any employee (good and bad performers). It's prudent for existing employees to look for employment elsewhere since this uncertainty has been going on for over a decade now. If that means gaining additional skills, networking (no pun intended) etc. so be it.
As per your example i could never understand why Intel dont fab SoC for Apple. TSMC manage to make profit from Apple with a EST cost of $50 150mm2 A9X SoC. Intel could have fab for Apple only and suck out the money left for Samsung and TSMC. Now not only has Samsung and TSMC grow to build more Fab then before, they also have lots more to invest in R&D.

My guess is that this is all too little too late for the Mobile Market ( if that is what they intended, ) Apple A11 (10nm) and A12(7nm, since it is an evolved 10nm much like the 20nm and 16nm) all this is pretty much set with TSMC.

Yes and no. I've used some pens that dry basically instantly and I didn't need to worry about smudging at all. However, I found that those pens were also a bit harder to erase for minor corrections.

The pens I use now take a few seconds to dry, and so would probably be a problem for leftys. For me, they work great, and I only occasionally smudge something.

No, the practical answer is to treat humans with respect and dignity, and give them office space that is private with a door that closes. The fact that we are so willing to be treated so poorly and then blame parents with young children for noise is beyond me.

That's not always the case, and it depends on the situation. If a startup founder is working for no salary and focusing fulltime on the startup, then money might be better in their pocket, than in the company. $10k could by the founder 6months working at the company. Sweat equity and opportunity cost are also important to consider. Just because a founder hasn't put up cash, doesn't mean they aren't also committed and taking a risk.
I'm not saying that I'm entitled to an exception (and do use desktop Linux and macOS in any situation that allows me such a choice, gaming and Office usage being my primary barriers - and I'll leave aside whatever Apple may be doing with my usage statistics there, which probabally isn't great).

Rather, the comment that I'm replying to infers that there is nothing wrong with what Microsoft is doing because they are using all of this data for some sort of Good Reason, and I personally think that their methods of data collection are shady enough to make whatever good they may be doing with that data irrelevant.
Mashed carrots really aren't, but monitoring the quality of a mash is probably one step too far, so there goes carrots.
