I never understood why Boeing risked it all on the 747. The Boeing 2707 was supposed to be the future of passenger travel and the 747 was supposed to get relegated to freight. Why risk it all for what was expected to be a stop gap product?

For the first wide body, why not start with something 767 sized? Why start with the biggest?

auto doesn't mean "make a copy or reference, whatever is faster". auto first and foremost means "make a copy". Then sometimes compilers can do a trick called copy-elision and you might be working on a reference. But generally assume it's going to be a copy.

auto& means only make a reference.
>...and if you want a language without a type system don't use a language with a type system.

I wasn't the one who downvoted you but I'm guessing it happened because your advice is misguided and it shows how you're confusing the ceremony of a human bashing extra keystrokes to repeat annotations everywhere with the concept of static typing that enables compiler correctness checking. The keyword "auto" enables the separation of those 2 concepts. Type inferencing and type deduction is the technology that gives you "types" without the tedious "ceremony".
I mostly stay here. The amount of political and economic discussion here is what I personally consider enough in my life; I don't think looking for more sources would improve SNR for me.

I sometimes like to peruse Reddit for some well-defined topics - the trick is to find an appropriate subreddit for it. So, for instance, when I want to follow SpaceX news, I'll tune in to /r/spacex, because quite a lot of people there are aerospace engineers (and some are SpaceX employees), so you can expect detailed, up-to-date and to-the-point news.

My general observation is that the more specialized a community is, and the further it is from ego-involving topics (politics, economy, religion), the more civil the discussions are there. So I'd focus on finding many specialized discussion places instead of one general.

I am quite surprised, that instead of allowing users to change modules (and thus are forced to build it up with casing and connectors) they didn't release certification on doing it and let people drop their phones to the mobile service points all over the world for free or small fee like $1 (including vacuuming insides to add extra value). Such shops would make money on selling modules. Modules could be less protected and delivered without the casing. Changing modules would take ~1-2minutes since the store clerk would be trained to do it and use 2-3 universal tools to open the phone and change the modules.

Those 2-3 tools would be also available to buy, so owners could change the modules themselves. But since it would be quite advanced - same as with changing PC parts - it would void the guarantee for whole phone.
I had the exact same experience with Sparkpost. They were used to send receipts for purchases and not any sort of email marketing.

We started out on their free plan. While it wasn't as great as Mandrill (couldn't view outgoing content, for example) they didn't mess up the email format or inject any weird links.

We expanded to their paid plan as a result of our volume about a month later. Roughly 2-3 weeks after that, we received an automated notice at 1 AM on a Friday that our account had been suspended and that we should contact the abuse group and that they would reply within "2 days".

Not only did they stop our outgoing emails, but they didn't even bother queueing the ones our app was sending them. In fact, the worst part was that their API was returning 200 OK for emails that weren't sent, so our system didn't bother putting them in our failed jobs DB.

I emailed just about everyone in that company that I could find to no avail. The "abuse team" replied at around 4pm that day that our account was suspended for "multiple complaints" and that they were willing to give us "another chance" and subsequently reinstated us.

We started a migration back to Mandrill.

It definitely leans center-left but I've found /r/PoliticalDiscussion to be a good subreddit for (mostly US-based) political topics.
I'll be interested in whether the let ISIS-sympathizers and KKK-style white supremacists in, in the name of free speech and the right to offend. That should certainly make for an explosive combination.

I think it is much closer to Microsofts Metro design (which I think they renamed)

But it really depends on wether you are looking at this as a comparison of different flat designs or as flat design vs non-flat.
That depends on dev current skill in each language.
Both languages are very similar. But .net is far better ^^

Comments pointing out that java is open sourced and has multiple libraries and tools written by community makes my giggle XD.
Most of .net world is open sourced now. Just check github.
Believe or not, but .net also plenty tools/libs, which in my opinion are far better.
In .net world there is usually, one outstanding piece of code which has a lot of love from community, while in Java there are sometimes dozens for same thing and it is just personal choice to pick one of them.This sometimes a big problem, because it harder to find employees with expertise of these particular(sometimes very niche) tools your company use in every project.

Eclipse and NetBeans compared to Visual Studio are just advanced notepad.
Creating and debugging a new project is just 1-2 clicks.
Deploying? 2-3 click and it is hosted in azure cloud.

There is a lot of support from Microsoft
Microsoft care. Microsoft listen.
Microsoft has program for new companies (bizspark). It gives the access for all MS software for free.
As far as I know. Orcacle can only give you a law sue and don't give a damn at all about community.
All MS product are based on .net used by millions
There is now way it disappear any soon.

Windows Licensing costs comes to none if you host your apps in azure cloud which is great for any size of company, but small and medium benefit most.
Moving our client app to azure saves him 30k euro per year.
I went bald when I was 19. It started with a "Caesar cut" and it went downhill from there. Being 42, I have learned ALOT about confidence, public perception and assertion. A lot of the advice is spot on here, but I agree think you need a bit more than that.
I would like to offer my help to you.
I have led men into life and death situations, coached and motivated men in sports, and created a school for children to help them learn tangibly and boost their confidence.
As for women, I married a swimsuit model, dated video vixens, exotic dancers, librarians, and everything in between.

The services discussed - memcached, redis, etc - don't use HTTP. The attack is successful because the protocols follow the robustness principle of 'be liberal in what you accept', and simply ignore the HTTP cruft, but still process the command.

For example:

POST / HTTP/1.1 << Ignored

Host: localhost:6379 << Ignored

SET abc 123 << Processed

QUIT << Processed

Yes, the kernel is the only GPL component on the stack.

Google just deprecated gcc and will only offer clang on future NDK versions.

Native apps are so constrained in Android that they could replace Linux with something else and only OEMs writing drivers would notice.

Fuchsia takes this further by not having any GPL component at all.
An issue like OP posted shows the problem with SmartTVs - they need to be updated. If your SmartTV manufacturer wants to stop supporting an 'app', or can't handle the new specs for said app, you need to buy a new TV to keep your expected functionality. Whereas, if your FireTV stopped supporting an app, you could upgrade your FireTV for a fraction of the cost of upgrading your entire TV.
> You have much slimmer pickings if you're a conservative

IMO, it doesn't matter if the platform leans left as long as it fosters constructive and open discussion. You're correct that a lot of the heavy handed moderation (censorship?) is on popular communities that trend left, but that's just a money related trend imo. Companies want to make their product a "safe" platform for investors
Wouldn't one want to use 'f(std::forward(x))' with 'auto&&' ?
I'd say Reddit. There are some heavy moderated subreddits for insightful discussions, like reddit.com/r/truereddit. Because Reddit has a voting system like HN, quality content is being upvoted and shown as first.

If you search you can probably find some more subreddits with less general content. And HN is of course a really great website for such discussions, with a lot of highly intelligent people that post quite lenghty comments. HN is probably my favorite website when it comes to discussions.
It's actually not that crazy for the skills they are looking for. Looks like they are looking for more of an old school "web master" than a software developer. Plus the generous (by US standards) benefits and I'm guessing a very relaxed work environment. Plus you get to actually spend time toward doing good in the world.
>Yes, it move the single point of failure to the user's email account

That is already the case for the supermajority of people. They use one email account for everything and you can simply "Recover Password" on various services once you gain access to their email account.

Not many people purposefully use unique, individual email addresses for every single service they sign up for...
"Liberty Office" would have been a much better English moniker.
If LO gets the trademark, maybe make the name "OpenOffice" refer to "the stable channel of LibreOffice". Corporate IT and training would likely prefer an office suite that only gets feature-updates every 1-2 years. So make OpenOffice a very stable version that just gets bugfix updates, but then a big feature update every couple of years, ala MS Office.

And LibreOffice could remain for the rest of us who don't mind getting new features every month or so.
I must say I agree,

I'm surprised OP is not aware that's the kind of sending that can raise a lot of red flags, before doing something like this on a new account I would have contacted support to make them aware of this situation.

Specially on smaller senders, reputation is everything.

Batteries are (un)surprisingly hard to get right. You store an incredible amount of energy in a very small space. Any issue in the supply chain - anyone cutting corners anywhere - can cause serious issues.

This is what people get for demanding incredibly powerful computers with reasonably long battery life at the smallest possible sizes.
Italy here. "Libre" sounds spanish to me. I realized only now that french has the same word (and I read it many times), but probably the final e is silent. I pronounce it, so it's spanish. Apparently it's the correct way: https://lwn.net/Articles/408141/

The sheer amount of bullshit that gets peddled by charlatans and hucksters is the very reason people don't trust anecdotal evidence around here. Or individual testimony. Look at any scam product, how its claims are supported and compare them to your cause du jour. What makes your claims more or less valid than previous scams? What gives your cause the credibility that those ones lacked?

Your claims could very well be true, but if you can't support them, then I'm going to just file them into the 'Snake Oil' drawer and move on.

Libreoffice is terrible to pronounce in asia ... and especially in India. I dont know if it is better in other countries (like the multilingual United States).
Till today, Libreoffice is the only software that I have said aloud (and on the phone) and people could not remember. I have had people search for "libby office", "libra office", "lee office", etc

Call it anything but Libreoffice.

Things Most Humans Can't Do
I've been wondering: would it be practical to build a reddit/HN like system where the comments you see are by authors you've upvoted before, or authors they've upvoted before?

This way everyone can comment, and the low effort jokes etc. can still exist but you personally only see them if that's what you enjoy.

Currently we give every comment a single universal score. It's hard to come up with a simple set of rules that encourage useful participation long-term, but this system would highlight the insightful stuff through the noise.
Like in the civilized countries.
Asia is the problem. FWIW - its the largest market for open source software and the market that needs it more than any other market. I posted another comment on this thread - but in India, I have had ZERO success with getting people to know what I said ("libby office")
The premium for the "smart" version of TV "x" is getting lower. I just bought a Roku TV last month. For the 55" Roku TV I bought last month, it was basically $0. If it becomes a dumb TV in 4 years I won't be too bothered. The 2020 FooNexusCastWebFireBar will probably be better anyway.
I'm not aware of any such scan, and I'd feel a lot safer if there were such a tool. I simply can't be sure if I have any embedded metal fragments, and do not want to discover this by having any such pieces rip through my body.
I remember running into a developer who made an app to track inventory for a thing. Then I saw that he had the same app, with a different color, title, and icon, replicated over and over in the store charging ~$5 for each one. So, one app for Lego, one app for Magic the Gathering, and a few more for a few different things. Just change the name, color and title and resubmit. Boom, new app, new revenue stream.
Here's an idea. If OpenOffice has no contributors. How about all the libreoffice folks start committing to both code bases or mirror them, whatever? Maybe the only thing that differs between the code bases is some splash screen and text resource bundles, ultimately.

Why not bury the hatchet, devs?

As terrible as this idea is for phones -- it's perfect for home automation.

Having each and every widget doing its own network and software stack is just a mess. Nevermind having to power all these gadgets.

There's very little reason to have more than one base in a room, that could handle all the non-switch/non-outlet duties. (cameras, air quality sensors, motion sensors, mics and speakers for echo-type interaction, tv input, etc.)

If all those features were just modules that stacked on top of a base (and could be swapped independently), you'd really have something.
I'm surprised so many people only send to 1 Email Service. These services sometimes go down, sometimes slow down, having 2 active account and having an easy way to switch in between (read even automatic) should be an applied best practice.
Says a lot about the sociatal value of the system, really.
I make 55k in a similar city, though it's one much worse for developer jobs than Austin. My coworker also makes about 58k, and my lead developer makes about 80k despite being really good at what he does. He could easily find a 120k+ job tomorrow. We do mostly Node.js stuff. I have about 2 years full time experience, and probably the equivalent of 4 years full time experience since I've done web dev since I was a teenager.

Job market sucks for newer devs right now. You at least have a shit load of opportunity in Austin there. Barely anything where I live despite being a big ass city.

I don't buy it. They assign value when then invest (which of course is a very rough estimate). What's so hard about assigning a value a few months or years down they road when they presumably have a lot more info about the biz than they did on day 0 (the initial investment/mark).
To be frank, your position is hurting you, and doesn't make much sense to me. If you supply customers with your source upon purchase, you're already working on a trust model -- without much effort, they could give copies to a thousand people who wouldn't have to pay. And if you're working on a trust model, you might as well give the benefit of the doubt to a paying customer asking for a refund.
Ah, horrible-twice-removed, then. Hehe!
I'm trying to create a private slack community for this actually. It's just a bunch of friends/trusted people who we know are smart, bring a new perspective etc and have good things to contribute. It's been slow going creating a community like that (high achieving, smart people who are usually too busy to participate - So far we're just 20 people with like 10 the most active) but I have hopes that some day it'll become good enough that I can open it up to the public.

Things we usually discuss (and we have at least 1 person who is more knowledgable/an insider so they can teach others and give context) - Tech, Economics, Geopolitics, Culture, Cinema, Photography, BioTech/Energy etc. The goal is _in depth_ discussions, not just water cooler commentary. But since it's friends, it also becomes your usual facebook chat replacement occasionally.

I know it's not the answer you're looking for (since it's actually private/friends and their friends etc for now) but just thought I'd mention this in the context. Trying to create and maintain a community has been an interesting experience so far. :)

I believe he means that they don't let approved drugs be natural plant matters or organic stuff, for example. They will extract the mitragynine, develop an analogue, patent it, and sell it.

Which is unfortunate not least because some people prefer the fact that kratom (that is, mitragynine with all the other stuff that naturally comes with it) has been more safety-tested by thousands of years of use..

There's no free lunch. If the government is paying for it, it's not free of charge. And in this country, there's a long record of exponential price costs when the government is the customer. Our premiums would go up, they'd just be called taxes then. You could maybe nationalize all the hospitals or something and make doctors government employees, but I don't think we'd like the outcome. Just the transition would be a nightmare. And that's ignoring the legal aspects of it.

It's not so easy as just waving your hand and saying "Free Healthcare! Free for everyone!"

I remember the old mid-2000 MacBooks. I had one with an easily accessible hard drive and ram right under the replaceable battery (which I did have to replace once too).

People forget Apple was sued, and lost, in the 1990s for telling people to buy new iPods instead of selling replacement batteries. They started moving to user serviceable stuff briefly, but then went back to their own ways and people haven't challenged them since.
I use const auto on occasion, when the element type is inexpensive to copy. If I'm iterating over a vector if int's, why would I prefer const auto& over const auto? Assuming the compiler does not try to optimize the const auto&, const auto should be faster than accessing a value through a reference.
