If you're running a pirated OS, are you really going to go to court over a missing disclaimer in the pirated EULA?!
honestly its been years now that FF is one of - if not the - browser which uses the least amount of RAM.

Its also one of the most energy efficient on most platforms.. (edge is more efficient on Windows, though it does not take into account that the engine is always running even if another browser is in use)
Fair enough. The point is, the risk is so low compared to other risks we take daily as to be irrational and totally inconsequential.

Avoiding gun shows for fear of getting shot is like avoiding skyscrapers because of a terrorist attack, avoiding commercial airlines out fear of a crash, or avoiding swimming in the ocean because of sharks. All of these are statistically irrational.

I am really just trying to get people to be honest with themselves here. The real reason they avoid gun shows is they simply don't like guns or the cultures that surround them. That is totally fine, more power to them. But stating the risk of being shot is at best a show of ignorance regarding the subject and at worst a canard to make their preference/bias/distaste seem more rational.
A couple differences between the two:

a. A diploma from a public university carries a certain level of prestige, unlike a for-profit college diploma, which is more of a red flag when looking through resumes.

b. The cost of that diploma will be, on average, much higher from a for profit college. This issue gets compounded by the fact that people applying to these for-profit colleges are, on average, of lower income brackets and also going back to point A, those diplomas don't hold the same prestige. So you are charging poorer people more for something worth less.

As to your second point, go take a tour of a public university and then a for-profit university and you will see the difference between the application process. The for-profit university will feel like your joining a 24 hour fitness, both in the sleazy sales tactics and how much pressure they will put on you to sign up.
The Shape of Emily’s Coffin: The mysteries of the least known Brontë sister
No, I got that. The article also has the person who demonstrated it advocating for democratic control of leadership, and I was commenting on how that might run into its own troubles.
There might be more reasons, but here is the author's answer to a similar question:

The imperative is that these machines can screw up the network they are connected to, so they’re affecting other machines. Generally, people don’t look kindly when a Windows system starts screwing up a network.

it makes sense though as more features are in use on the set of tested pages, these will inevitably use more ram.

its good to monitor and ensure that stays within acceptable parameters though, and potentially improved upon again. at least the gain is pretty slow since they "fixed all the stuff"
Young adults today probably meet and interact with many fewer people in person than most any generation in the past 50+ years. Romantic relationships, especially casual ones, are probably largely the result of meeting lots of people in person. They spend less time around people in general due to social media and whatever else they have. There's also probably some element of narcissism that exists today that didn't previously due to social media (and I apply this to all age groups).

Seems like a pretty simple explanation to me.
Yes, I was surprised.
This is not relevant. We are considering the interaction between our code and the library. If the library has breaking changes to its api our code will no long work with it when the library needs to be updated to the new version and our site will break until our code is changed...
>Rock has not been at the center of the culture for over 30 years.

No, you're exactly right. We were a silent majority for all of these years, when we could have been putting out peace feelers before this became a problem. We could have been educating people.
security is multi-layers. You should not rely on either process isolation (ie process sandbox) or logical sandbox or fault-free code...

Willpower and cognitive processing draw from the same pool of resources (2013)
The rate is probably 15% with the employer paying the other half. The big German public health insurance companies compete with each other but have to offer a base catalogue of services so they're quite similar after all and the rate difference is 0.1, maybe 0.5% between them. It is capped at 6200 Euro gross, so the maximum amount you'd pay is 453 Euro/month (assuming 7.3% rate).

Southwest Airlines, which has played a sort of "moneyball" game with aviation, came to the same conclusion that you did, including two checked bags in the ticket price (except they permit carry-on luggage for free). At-gate time decreases and the amount of flights increase when passengers aren't jockeying for carry-on space in the overhead compartments when they should be entering or exiting the airplane.

Frontier and Spirit airlines have adopted closer to the policy you describe. Checked luggage is $5-10 cheaper than carry-on. Their customer service posture is hostile, however. They charge for printing of boarding passes at the airport and getting a ticket altered to accommodate a lap infant (free in the US) takes over one hour on the phone.

I'm not saying I like any one of these airlines more than the other carriers. Southwest's moneyball strategy means they charge exorbitant amounts for tickets purchased within one week of the flight, even if it risks a vacancy. I prefer the consistency of the commodity carriers even though the Southwest experience is better for economy travelers.
$40,000 each seems like a lot for an instrument there's not that much demand for, and is likely itself an impediment to further adoption.

Is there something about the construction of this instrument that justifies this kind of price beyond just "we don't make a lot, so we've got to charge a lot for the ones we do make?"
Ive been testing Firefox e10s as in multiprocess Firefox for months now (in Nightly, and even before that).

At some point it became very usable and it still is today.
HOWEVER while the interface is, yes, much more responsive, it is also NOTICEABLY slower.

I ended up reverting recently and I'm using single process Firefox right now. Its fast even thus from time to time the UI may block if there's heavy stuff going on.

Whatever makes e10s slow they gotta fix it... I suspect there's a lot of synchronization code.
I am a junior developer, but my experience so far has been exactly this; arbitrary deadlines, poorly defined or no technical specification and worst of all, no room for testing or documentation, yet still somehow expecting it to happen in the end.

Then don't go to school and just start your startup.

This conversation is about government backed education loans. It's not clear why the US government should be issuing education loans at all, let alone issuing them to students who are very unlikely to pay them back. Or at least have their real income greatly curtailed for decades by loan payments.

If you just want to get an education for personal reasons, figure out how to pay for it on your own without relying on taxpayers.

I'm trying to understand how a "flat org" like this is different from a co-op. Seems like the "flatland" companies give you autonomy without ownership, which seems bad to me. It's only flat so far as the actual owner allows it to be, and you end up with a bunch of people with autonomy with no stake in the outcomes.
Pardon me if this is off topic, I'm sure someone will let me know. I run an ad on Facebook for $25 for the weekend. We get somewhere between 2000-6000 "reaches". We get a fair share that like the post, I "invite" them to like the page, hardly any do... Is this normal?
I don't think there is any legislation to stop running a company in an inclusive way.

W.L.Gore and Associates of Gore-Tex fame are renowned for their organizational culture, for example (based on what I've read):

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._L._Gore_and_Associates

There are lots of different types of decisions made at companies. For example, Germany mandates a high level of employee influence at companies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany

while remaining typically authoritarian in day to day activities (I've heard).

Non-democratic governance does not mean people could not be encouraged to participate and be creative. The book "Creativity Inc" by Ed Catmull ponders the problems of leadership and management at Pixar (namely, how they attempt to avoid all the stupid mistakes that are obvious in hindsight).

Human organizations are complex and difficult. I don't think you can legislate the pathologies away unless they are really obvious. But there are several companies already that include workers way better than not.
I never received an email like that when I worked at Microsoft. Granted, maybe they would send emails like that within a specific department, and my department was probably less prone to leaks.

Well, .NET Core is probably still 1-1.5 years away from being fully production "friendly". Common Open Source .NET libraries have to be ported, .NET Core itself needs to reach base class library parity at least as far as its scope is concerned (including things such as System.Drawing based on Skia# or similar), the tooling around it needs to mature.

Anything outside of ASP.NET Core or small command-line tools is probably premature in 2016.
The Saudi royal family derives significant prestige from being seen as successfully managing the Hajj. However, they're not particularly competent at anything approaching governance or management, since being competent isn't a good way to get prestige, money, power, etc (being related to the right person, or possibly being extremely holy, is). So, you get continual fuckups, and continual coverups. Their debacle in Yemen proceeds under a similar pattern, as do their attempts to "modernize" their economy, and so on.

Perhaps no regime, other than maybe North Korea, has a more negative accrued karmic balance. And honestly, North Korea does less to screw up the rest of the world than the Saudis.
I've only ever smoked it... No other frame of reference.
Pfft... unlikely.

Rock is still going extremely strong on it's own, even if it's not at the forefront, it's still strong and going along, doing it's own thing. There is still a great community with it.

EDM, dance, trance whatever is nothing. Just a bunch of people thinking they are cool, taking too many drugs and drinking too much because thats they only way they can enjoy such bad music.

Edit: Although admittedly I didn't read this article. I just clicked the link and it has a picture of the beatles? The beatles are not a rock band, the beatles were a boy band, much like the backstreet boys etc, maybe this form of "rock" is dying, but real rock is still around.
this is strictly anecdotal, but i just was notified of a pending charge to my credit card, for ~$1000. The charge was from stripe, and I've only ever had transactions processed through stripe for 1 transaction, with 1 vendor.

so either the vendor screwed up, or something is insecure..

> I've worked at a place that had a 'flat' organization, it was a mess. Hidden power structures, informal and outside of office 'meetings' where decisions were made and arbitrary decisions made at a whim.

OTOH, every place I've seen, corporate and government, with a visible and formal hierarchy has also been a mess featuring hidden power structures, informal and outside of office meetings where decisions were made, and arbitrary decisions made at a whim.

(One big feature of California's "public meeting" laws is to try to limit and expose this in the highest levels of certain representative government decision-making bodies, but its pretty much a universal feature of human societies.)

> if you don't have an official structure, an unofficial and hidden power structure will emerge.

That will also happen, pretty invariably, if you have an official structure.
I can second the energy efficient thing, at least in Linux.

I've been tracking lots of programs with powertop, including many browsers, in the quest of an efficient desktop and Firefox is pretty good.

I also appreciate its great plugins. With vimperator I can configure Firefox using a dotfile, and setup lots of neat things like:

1. A ssh proxy mode that also routes DNS queries

set! network.proxy.socks=localhost

set! network.proxy.socks_port=8888

set! network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true

command -nargs=1 proxy set! network.proxy.type=<args>

2. Site-specific Google searches, with autocomplete for the site URL

command -nargs=+ -complete=url site open google site:<args>

map s :site<space>

All this is really neat functionality, and very simple to achieve. I am waiting for good per-tab sandboxing, but in the meanwhile I have aliased firefox to /usr/bin/firejail so the whole application is sandboxed.

Apologies for the offtopic, but it's really exciting how a program that seemed to have lost development momentum is becoming really great again. Quite close to being the emacs of browsers if you ask me, with so many features and scriptability. Paradoxically you can get best access to these features with a plugin that tries to emulate vi, but you get the idea!

I'm kind of shocked all y'all commentators have such well secured CI systems. ;)
I've been developing software for 17 years, and at every employer, from 2 to 20,000 employees, CI systems were treated as an afterthought in terms of infrastructure and security resources.

It was dramatically obvious how bad this was from a security perspective, so perhaps this article isn't necessary, but certainly it's right on the money.

I don't know what led GitHub to this shift. At GitLab we want to maintain as flat of a structure as possible but we always wanted everyone to have exactly one boss and 4-10 reports per boss. For us the reasons are that:

1. You want someone to evaluate your and your team's performance. Not getting feedback on this is demotivating.

2. You want someone to help you get better and plan your career (all of our managers are skilled in the area of work of their reports).

3. You want someone to go to with problems: individual execution, team execution, collaboration with another team, and (inter)personal ones).

For more information about our reporting structure see https://about.gitlab.com/team/structure/ and our leadership principles see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/
coffee, alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis are all uncontroversially drugs. You can find lots of examples of interested parties who don't like the connotations of the word "drug" and therefore will deliberately use politicized, weasel-wordy speech to try and evade the label, but that doesn't really mean much besides that interested parties are interested parties.

none of those substances are ingested as foods. what, then, is a thing that a person ingests but not for nutrition? that's a drug. medicinal and recreational purposes are both different use cases for drugs. why is this subject to debate? this is just the basics of what it means to be a human animal. you take things into your body. if its not for food its for something else, clearly. what do you propose we call non-food items that we ingest?

I honestly don't care much about the politics of the now-suddenly-agrieved kratom user community. personally I'd vote in favor of full legalization but its not up to voters, the DEA is a very tyrannical agency and there isn't much accountability. Sorry dude, sucks, but that's how it is. We live in a prohibition state.

I think the strategy of saying "kratom isn't a drug" is not going to be even remotely effective at persuading the DEA to change their mind though. Its just absurd, honestly. Reconsider your tactics.
Thank you - but I think that the perhaps less complicated goal of achieving corporate democracy will be hard enough :-)
Why Fox’s apology to Gretchen Carlson is so stunning
>many of us are raised to be self-reliant, independent, reserved and undaunted

I think this greatly depends on your environment. A lot of the guys I know had nothing of this in their upbringing. I think there overwhelmingly lots of guys today that are emotionally dependent on others, very outward on personal matters and opinions, and easily riled into emotion. Less than ever there's the expectation of the strong, stoic, leadership figure.

The one way I would say you're accurate is that societally and financially speaking, being a young man is harder than ever. There are no safety nets, which hasn't historically been a problem due to high labor demand that no longer exists.

There's depression the feeling, which may be caused by un-live-with-able circumstances and serve as a stimulus to make life changes.

Then there is depression the illness, which and may or may not be brought on by some circumstances, but which is debilitating.

If it's serious enough, I'm not sure if it matters whether it is spontaneous or caused - you need to be brought out of it before you can deal with the un-live-with-able circumstances. Staying in the depression doesn't help you to take action at all.
> Even before Promises, avoiding callback hell was relatively easy

Promises & proper callback definitions don't solve the fundamental issue of forcing code to be structured based on the type of calls being made rather than the logical units of work. If I'm making three database lookups that rely on the results of the previous call, in Node I'm stuck with three callbacks or .then()s or whatever. In a framework like Scala+Spray, I can work entirely with Futures as though they are real objects and return a response with a single onComplete at the very end. In Go, its runtime schedules goroutines around blocking I/O similar to Node's event-loop so the waiting isn't even something the programmer (usually) needs to know about.
Just clicked on the link. Seems to only do binary categorization of "accredited" and "not accredited". Would probably be more useful if they made available all of the data they collect as part of the accreditation process, to allow journalists, prospective students, etc. dig into the details.
HyperDev is definitely a service to watch.

I spent a lot of time with Docker in its early days, and now I work a lot with documentation. I dream of providing my readers with live, on-demand sandboxes they can use to play with our sample code before trying to run it locally.

Lots of services have cropped up in recent years to try and make this dream a reality. Unfortunately, most either require user registration or are defunct, and I suspect it's because preventing abuse and fraud are extremely difficult.

HyperDev is by far the best attempt I've seen yet. It's functional, doesn't require user registration, and provides a full URL I can use with other web APIs.

They're Node-only for now, but they're teasing more languages on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HyperDevIt/status/771766515603533829

I'm certainly rooting for them.
Owning someone's CI system via the CI system is all well and good, but not surprising in the slightest. All these things expose web-based admin interfaces, so of course they're vulnerable at the very least to social engineering.

The real trick is owning someone's CI system via the code under test. And it's even more versatile because it works even for projects which keep their executor scripts checked in to source.

1) Check out and gain an understanding of the target's CI scripts

2) Create a pull request (or whatever) which makes some reasonable code change but also introduces a vulnerability into the build/test scripts themselves. For example, curl'ing a domain you control.

3) Kick off pre-commit runs of all the tests to see if your patch should be accepted.

4) Own all the devices testing your patch.

Meh. SSD write amounts matter if you're running a datacenter. They don't matter to a normal user on a laptop/desktop using a browser. SSD lifetime simply isn't an issue, as the other commenter pointed out.

Also, from a more philosophical standpoint - this isn't Mozilla's issue. They shouldn't have to worry about conserving SSD writes. That's not their problem. That's the OS / Disk firmware / manufacturer's problem. If I want to write files to the disk at a very reasonable rate, I should feel free to do that.
Yeah I get that but maybe it'd be worth checking in with the repo owner before submitting it or something? I dunno. I don't see any easy solution.
