To some degree that's a compromise. There are people who want neither nudity nor violence on TV, but they've lost the violence fight (somewhat: there are still limits, see http://screencrush.com/avengers-rated-r/ ), while winning the nudity fight.

Often when laws don't make sense, you'll find the law was forged as a compromise, rather than a logical overmind creating it. the constitution is a clear example of this.
In a few years, when practically no apps will run on one's iPhone 6, then they'll be forced to change.

Not today, perhaps. But if they wish to remain in the iOS universe, eventually they will be forced to adapt or die.
I honestly think it was an algorithm that flagged it.
China has huge deserts. The Gobi and the Taklamakan cover a massive area of China.

Edit: According to wikipedia, only 14.8% of China's land is arable. And that is for a country that is about the same size as the United States.

Even crazier, the criteria for which bonds to buy heavily favor German corporations. At this point the Euro system has become a system to shovel wealth from the periphery to the center at gunpoint.

IMO next step of the ECB will be equity buying, again Central European equity most likely. After that, only People QE is left (which they should have done first), but I don't think their ideology will allow that.
Great idea! We need more basic git workflows described in plain English.

I was expecting some actual "bad" situations based on the title, and to be fair these were bad to me once and are bad for people new to git, but I'd love to see the level 2,3,etc. version of this article.
I'm starting to get tired of making this point in some of the many discussions of this topic (most recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12457371), so the last time for a month, I swear:

You tell me when I can open a segregated lunch counter, or refuse to bake a gay wedding cake, and I'll consider your argument to have merit. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time until Facebook and company are brought to heel under that sort of "public accommodation" approach.

Yep, people are melting down on Twitter about not being able to order food. And on the day that Amazon launched Amazon Restaurants in London with one hour delivery too...
The way it's depicted, especially in more modern productions must contribute a lot too. Little wonder it seems like a game when gun battles (and often fight scenes and even car chases) now all look like parody.
I doubt it:

"A Facebook spokeswoman said: “While we recognise that this photo is iconic, it’s difficult to create a distinction between allowing a photograph of a nude child in one instance and not others. "
Only if deemed to be pornographic. I think it's fair to say this picture doesn't meet any of the requirements to be deemed as obscene (at least in a sexual sense; using napalm on people is another matter entirely).
If you are just using heroku to run a process it is pretty easy to rebuild on AWS. Here is one fairly solid guide: http://blog.clearbit.com/ec2-heroku/

Depending on what language you are using google's app engine could be a quick replacement.

I'm not a big fan of docker for a few irrelevant reasons but using it w/ heroku makes it very easy to migrate to other container hosts.

edit: the founder of Flynn replied to parent as well, that is also a great alternative that I forgot to include.
Whether it's said out loud, or put in writing makes a big difference.

If spoken, the speaker can first check to see if the immediate context is appropriate. Then it's just a memory.

In writing, like on the web, there's more persistence. Sweary words online can be brought into inappropriate situations later. This can reflect badly on the author, in the eyes of some.
ish.

Current company: SharePoint. I think it's no good for that use case (TBH, I don't like SharePoint for anything).

Last company: Confluence. Worked pretty well, although we did need to customize it to fit our needs (same with Jira).

I still haven't found a "holy grail" (Confluence was decent enough, but I still wouldn't recommend it unreservedly).

Search is a key feature which most do badly.

He also says that merely using the separate files to deduce this (which the parent says is what Delphi does) is not incremental compilation.
"the City" here (with capital C) refers to the "City of London".
Actually it's child violence. The nudity is incidental.
Things we need are getting more expensive. Other stuff is getting cheaper. Why?
Facebook wants to be a place for news as well, with things like their "Instant Articles". It's a historically significant photo and was actually on the front page of the NY Times when it came out. So, would they censor a post from the NY Times if it had the same photo?
This seems to be broken if you're running PrivacyBadger.
FB is controlled by Zuckerberg. He's the only shareholder that counts for determining what the company does. This is on him.
Sorry I wrote that back to front. Fixed now.
This iconic picture was not only a Pulitzer Prize winner, but was also on the cover of the New York Times. Surely this will help the anonymous "Facebook spokeswoman" determine on which side it lies of the thin red line of "censor" / "do not censor"?
I'm reminded of Ignaz Semmelweis, the doctor associated with hand-washing. Even though he demonstrated clinically that hand-washing reduced sickness/mortality, it took decades to catch on because, "it didn't make sense." I.e., there wasn't sufficient theory to explain WHY it worked.
i also thought about that. But a society sets the rules businesses operate in, that ranges from environmental laws to other regulations. I think its perfectly valid to also set anti-censorship rules if the society think its valid.
I can't think of a single time I've actually ever cared to look at anything other than a linear history or a single file's blame. I do have a 'hist' alias set up (http://blog.wittchen.biz.pl/basics-of-git/#gist16617665), but it's not something I ever actually use.
I have a comment I would like to make in response to this but I will refrain.
Yes I followed this thought too. Why not imagining that language is too complex to imagine? However you have finally to experience all these intricacies of language even those ones which exceed your capability to understand.

It's similar to the problem of a moderately intelligent author inventing a super-intelligent character and describing their actions and the rationales thereof in plausible detail. Somehow the outcome is just mediocre and meh.

But the complexity of language is just awesome.

For example the German articles. They have only five endings but manage to capture sex, plurality and case in their 24 combinations exactly and people understand these fine nuances in split seconds. This is too awesome for my brains to imagine.

Or in English the difference between ludicrous and ridiculous. The possibility to express this fine a nuance is just awesome.
I think you mean 0.001%
Thats not really true. I dont use facebook (i use wechat, never had anything censored, and the privacy controls are awesome), but i dont think facebook wakes up in the morning and thinks "why doesnt Hugh use facebook? We should make it more like wechat". If you want change, the most effective way to get it is to ask for it.
I seriously think that it was an algorithm that flagged it.
Yeah actually recording a click path is a great idea. We had not thought about recording the paths as a separate data stream. It is not video only, it records network traffic and devtools console messages (network errors, js errors, debug logs etc.)
Sorry about the chat widget, I'll check if it is mute-able :)

I'd rather see the network graph between the founders and investors/advisors than a pitch deck. Decks are formalities only.
This particular picture was on the cover of the New York Times. Surely a human reviewer from Facebook must consider this as reason enough to revert the censorship?
Physical difference is not the same thing as genetic difference. Humans may subjectively look very different but genetically humans aren't very different. This is empiracle fact. Stop living in the 19th century.

They're one of the only acquisitions that have been kept running pretty much the same way.

There was no integration with force.com or anything like that. I don't think they're even colocated in SFDC datacenters, I think they still run on AWS
No. It's more effective to lobby your local member of parliament/congress to pass laws restricting what media organisations can or cannot do.

Granted, by "more effective" I mean something like 0.1% instead of 0.01%, but it's worth a try.
It's a very blurred line.
Don't think any 5 year old gets offended by bad words. They appreciate if you teach them some ;)

Or find someone to coach/mentor you.

You might be surprised at how little it can take to come across more positively to your managers.

I've worked with a lot of developers, and coached a few, and even most "problem developers" that gets written off as not management material rarely have any deep seated personality issues that cause them to be seen as flawed - more often it is a matter of how they let their personality manifest.

E.g. developers that come across as abrasive often just need to learn subtle changes in how to give feedback or criticism, but often think that they're being punished for the technical content or for "political reasons".

If you give some details about your "flaws" (in private if you like - my e-mail in my profile), I'd be happy to give you some suggestions you could try to see how people respond.
Why I finally ditched Jira
Ah. But, you could easy say it's 5 then. iPhone, AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, and MacBook. But, it's no different than if the AirPods were another pair of Bluetooth headphones, except Apple has a nice charging solution (and carrying case) for them.
I don't understand. Could you give an example?
That's clever, I'll remember that. But don't you lose all tracking information if you do that?
Elasticbeanstalk is a huge mess when you look at its guts. Deployments aren't any better than Heroku either.
Yep. Aws is funny. You want to at do it first, then it doesnt make sense at e.g the 10k per month price point. So you do something else.

Then you come back when you have due diligence and compliance and availability requirements. And you see how much that is really costing you with the arrangements you have.

Finally if you're super successful, you could self host or otherwise. But "rack costs" (naively) trade off against people and auditors.

Summary: AWS is expensive, especially for bandwidth. Practically if your business requirements are not bandwidth intensive, it ends up being paradoxically cheaper than the alternatives if your business involves legal agreements and things like availability commitments to customers.
Future 100 day update: We got 99 days before we had to fall back on non-renewable resources for a day. That's only a 99% fuel saving, which is not enough and means renewables are terrible and we should never try to use them again.

The only long-term solution I have seen is Debt for Equity swaps. It won't work everywhere, but it does help.

Note the US Federal government owns so much land in the Western part of the country and Alaska that that alone might allow it to get its fiscal house in order, and could certainly help.

I mean, isn't it everyone's dream to have title to a plot of Alaskan tundra ^_^? Obviously it would be very hard to make this work, and impossible for our current ruling class, but the raw numbers just might work out.

Otherwise you're right, it simply won't be paid back. But who knows how long we'll be viewed as a "least worst" place to park your liquid assets?
The problem is that there aren't that many people with natural talents. They exist but it's very hard to sync them up with where demand is.

Also this is not just one poorly conducted training program. Denmark spent billions up-skilling parts of their work force. The results where simply no there. Something like 6 out of every 1000 person or something like that.

Yeah because all of Europe sucks at making good web tech for some reason. Seriously - look at the top 100 websites in the world; not a single one produced by Europe[1].

Edit: Downvote all you want. I'll redact my statement if someone can show me that Europe does not suck at making web tech. But you can't, because Europe is not competitive in the web tech scene. I don't know why, but that's the way it currently is.

Ace Fishing Wild Catch Cheats Hack (Android/iOS)
Yeah, super useful, I can second setting auto squash in the config. I was almost thinking of saying the same thing, but I realized this post is probably deliberately avoiding rebase. This workflow is advanced relative to the problems described, and you'd agree those command lines are going to look pretty intimidating to a novice, right? They were to me the first time, there's a lot to understand before they're comfortable.
Score/range voting and approval voting are particularly bad for single winner elections in ways that typical mathematical simulations fail to account for because mapping from sentiment to binary approve/disapprove or score ratings is inconsistent between individuals (and, as has been studied fairly extensively in the case of score rankings in non-bullying contexts, have particularly strong ethnic/cultural variation.)

If you could directly measure internal sentiment and use a consistent function to map it it to scores, score/range voting would be a good method, and mathematical simulations tend to model this case rather than reality.

(Approval voting is good for group decisions with non-secret ballots where people can opt-out of the activity selected, and an "approve" vote is also a commitment to opt-in, because then there is a consistent meaning; range/score voting similarly can be good in group decision-making what shows are tied to a concrete price that is to be paid for or to avoid an outcome, which again makes the ballot marking have a consistent meaning.)
Speaking from the perspective of someone getting small projects off the ground, the value of Heroku (and similar) is that they help you stay focused on dev rather than ops.

In your example of security, you take an increased risk due to attacks on shared services, but I'd suggest that only a small fraction of "production" apps can field as qualified security teams as Heroku can provide... so if Heroku's customers all moved to EC2 there'd be an increase in badly managed and unpatched instances.

"Most American students learned about it and knew that picture..."

I'm 38: We didn't learn much about the Vietnam war, honestly. The sections on everything from the 50's onward were very short, and sometimes glossed over due to time constraints. I think we had one teacher tell us that it was simply because not enough time had passed since it happened, which always seemed ridiculous to me.

It is kinda like we knew it happened, but didn't really learn much about it formally. Lots of heresay and rumors and things.
sarcasm, the other no-no :)
banks issued equity and preferred equity to the tune of many many tens of billions during the crisis. revisionist class warfare stuff i strange (as a first hand participant): the bailout of wall street banks was critical for the economic well-being of EVERYBODY not just "the rich", and it's the main reason obama and democrats (who wanted it as opposed to the republicans who didn't) swept the elections.

Ecological protection is not necessarily mutually exclusive with human development. And human beings are massively reliant on those ecosystems in subtle and important ways. Your point seems like a false dichotomy. We just need to approach problems in an environmentally literate way.

But the wealthy, who are the one's who have really benefitted from this free money will buy these chit boxes, and rent them out at outragious ROI.

And so will the wealthy foreigner--with a lousy phone call.

I've given up on more building. I think we need to open up areas where people can camp without breaking the law. Or, at least allow people to legally sleep in their vehicles. The fines/fees for breaking over stringent municipal laws are just not fair.

(I don't believe lightening up municipal laws will cause the average person to sleep on the sidewalk to save money. Yes, we will always have homelessness. I have known two people who were between rentals, and were ticketed for sleeping in their cars. It's just not--what's the word--the America I thought I was proud of.)
It is always very astonishing to read about IT outsourcing stories being driven by a desire to reduce costs.
The cost of IT within an organisation is actually not driven by IT itself but by the processes or the setup of the organisation. We live in a globalised world and nothing is as globalised and transportable as IT services, which is why it makes very little sense to try tackling costs by moving around what seems to be having the least difference of costs versus output on a global scale.
But then again: I don't have an MBA. Which I somehow figure is not an insult anymore.
The baring strait is also only 51 miles so there was likely quite a bit of accidental crossings if nothing else. For comparison Australia was populated around 65,000 to 75,000 years ago and that takes more than 200 miles by sea.
