Exactly! The more people that leave the platform for somewhere else the less control that Facebook has over communications.

Facebook has no more obligation to allow you to write whatever you want on their site than the New York Times has to publish your op-ed piece.
It seems to be related to how retro things are being popular again. Also you see a lot of people making lego raspberry pi cases and the like.
Also note the original book on the subject, The Man Who Never Was by Ewen Montagu, I read it in the '70s and remember it to be a solid, basic account. Per Wikipedia:

Duff Cooper was a diplomat who had held several top level posts during the war. In 1950, he published a spy novel, Operation Heartbreak. The key plot device was floating a corpse into Spain with false documents to deceive the Germans. Cooper had come up with the idea on his own, but naturally, many of those concerned with Mincemeat (including Germans and Spaniards) became concerned and started talking. The 'flap' attracted the attention of the British press and wild rumours began to circulate. At this point, the British security services decided that the best response was to publish the story of Mincemeat, which would not compromise any other secrets. Ewen Montagu took a weekend off from his busy legal practice and wrote the book The Man Who Never Was. It was an immediate best-seller and was made into a movie of the same name two years later. The movie added some fictitious elements for drama, such as a German agent in London verifying the background of "Major Martin", with Montagu and his colleagues one step ahead of him.

In 1977, Montagu published a second book, Beyond Top Secret ULTRA, in which he recounted his secret war work. It could not be revealed earlier, as it involved both Ultra and the Double Cross System. In chapter 13, he gives a short version of the Mincemeat story, including some details not in The Man Who Never Was.

As noted/implied above, anything written about WWII prior to that point in the '70s when Ultra could be talked about has to be taken with a grain of salt/suitable adjustments.
No it doesn't. Litecoin uses a variant of scrypt which has been deliberately nerfed by limiting its memory usage.
Work Smarter Not Harder
Oh Vim...

If you're going to lightweight and vi-like, than do that. If you're going to go the Emacs route (and if you're adding async, packaging, and lambdas, make no mistake, you're starting in the steps to building an inferior Emacs), than get a half-decent extension language. Or just up and die. We don't need a Vi clone that does the Emacs thing, we've got Evil/Spacemacs for that.
No, REST and HTTP are implementation details of the technology.

An API is a representation of business workflows and processes. The more accurately you describe or map those to the real world processes, the better your and your consumers' understanding will be.
Layouts are fucking great. I have a moderately complex layout set up for my org-mode workflow (tasks list top left, agenda top center, notes file top right, kanban board bottom-left, and a scratch buffer bottom right), and they all load the same way every time. And I have project-specific layouts that get auto-loaded when I open that projectile project, and I have a general programming one as well. All of these took less than an hour to set up and work completely flawlessly.
Thanks :)

Your saying at the end of the comment described everything.
Did they? Not anyone I knew, I guess. Everyone I knew wanted them, but we all ended up with cheaper versions.
Just because you don't do something it's not an "absurd scenario".
Somewhat related, but how is K'nex doing these days? I was never a Lego child growing up, I loved K'nex. The roller coaster sets, and everything else. It just was easier to build really tall and elaborate structures without having to have as many pieces.
It will be interesting to see how this fact will come up in legislative discussions. Has it happened before -- that so many people ended up relying on a single corporations that the corporation needed to take on special obligations?

I have returned back to native UIs development (WPF/Forms/XAML/Android), after 4 years of web development, couldn't be happier in what concerns my productivity.
It's very different "inside the data center" or "inside the cloud" from "services provided to the network edge".

If you want: (i) any chance of all at building a system that works and (ii) happy users, you should codesign the client, protocol and client-facing server if you are providing services to the edge (Web, IoT, etc.)

Inside the data center you can do something else.

The key thing is that REST principles are orthogonal to "a good API", "a successful project", etc.
So instead, just use:

* TypeScript
* Sass
* A data-binding framework like Angular

Problems solved :)
It's true that Facebook (and Twitter, Youtube, etc.) are expressing the point of view of the platform creators as to 'acceptable content' and it's worth pointing out. On the other hand, if I made a product that hosted user generated content I would probably have pretty similar guidelines to them.

e.g. Yes the "nipple double standards" can be criticized but given current cultural norms, when this limit doesn't exist, you end up hosting a lot of explicit images like Tumblr or MySpace. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> What I found harder to manage is the young FE devs themselves: for them it seems every new project, or every new view in the same project, is the opportunity to use a completely different, new toolset. Oh, and some new syntaxic sugar candies supposed to "save" a couple of keystrokes (which is the worst reason you can find to use a new syntax requiring its own tools). I find this very dangerous, especially when the github repos holding these tools are 3 months old.

This is because employers are demanding that candidates know the latest and greatest technologies (eg. looking for 5 years of experience in 1 year old technology). I'm an FE dev, and during my last round of interviewing 3-4 months ago I was asked about my thoughts on Redux, CSS Modules, Radium, Docker, GraphQL/Relay, ClojureScript/Om, etc.

If I need to be experienced with this stuff to stay employable because just doing my job isn't enough, then I'm going to learn it.
It's more that they've got a whole grab bag of pending technologies that may or may not allow them to replicate the kind of success they've had with their search engine.

I called that shot the first time I read about it. There are zero successful modular consumer electronics products. The near-trivial analog connectivity between stereo components is as close as modularity has ever come in that business, and that's really an example of how, at best, modularity attracts customers that resemble audiophiles (and wannabes), which may not be an ideal target market.
Much sexier and authoritative sounding name, though.
Yes, the disaggregation used in the linked paper is robust. You're welcome to critique it if you find a specific error.

We hired a new grad last year... he's very sharp, though of course inexperienced when it comes to working as part of a team on a large project (but time will fix that).

Now, I have no idea how this is possible, but he has deeper knowledge of Hg and Git than anyone I've ever met (If your experience is limited to school and solo personal projects, how in the world do you develop advanced knowledge of version control? On my personal projects, I rarely need anything more than git add/commit/push/pull and basic branching).

I'm over 10 years older than this guy, but I find myself asking his advice whenever I need to do something advanced or out of the ordinary with Git.

Facebook are free to do as they please within the law. And people are free to complain about it within the law.

Advise to simple "not use it" is harsh as it has a near monopoly as a communication tool for many communities. Without it I certainly would have no idea what happens with my relatives and friends, apart from my absolute nearest (which is another discussion).

And for many places it is the only tool used for near all community communication. Once another or more tools has enough market share (among non techies) you have an actual choice, but atm not really.
I couldn't deal with Vintageous or Vintage. The lack of a proper ex-line for me kills it, along with spotty support for certain visual-mode movements. The rough edges are right at the forefront all the time when I try.
Ewen Montagu's own book on the operation was made into the 1956 movie The Man Who Never Was. It's actually one of the better spy movies of the period and recommended if you like older films.
> Trying to determine whether these standards should be as freely distributed as are other parts of the law, the ABA is proposing a compromise, known as Resolution 112. Malamud opposes it. Because ABA positions are taken often taken seriously by Congress, he has come to San Francisco to fight it.

I don't know if the last sentence is true. Here is a list of ABA propositions from last year: http://www.americanbar.org/news/reporter_resources/midyear-m.... Lots of feel-good stuff Congress totally ignores (e.g. urges Congress to adopt laws to protect wild animals).

The 2 x 4 = 8 core PS4 CPU vs. the 1 main + 8 mini core PS3 is not exactly a large leap back. Cross platform games and a much improved CPU's pushed Sony to a more main stream product, but you can also see the PS3 as an arguable precursor to modern systems.

The basic problem is it's hard to find tasks that scale out past ~8 cores really well yet can't just go to the GPU.
Go!
"Public knowledge is key"
This is an important style but I find this style of journalism infuriating. It's hard to follow because there'll be a bit of information and then a transition into some unrelated background before it (hopefully) circles back to the original point.

It's almost like writing a college paper and having to pad out the word count.

Anyway, I support the straightforward principle that the law isn't the law if it's not accessible to the public.

The only question left is how do you fund standards development if you abolish the model (that predates the Internet) of selling copies. I suspect the answer is going to be different on a case by case basis.

For example, general contractors and tradesmen depending on jurisdiction need to be licensed. A mix of license fees and government funding could pay for building or fire codes.

For the overall story of strategic deception in WWII, The Deceivers: Allied Military Deception in the Second World War by Thaddeus Holt (https://www.amazon.com/Deceivers-Allied-Military-Deception-S...) is highly recommended.

ADDED: see my other comment, sometimes it gets bogged down in detail for non-specialists, or discusses intrinsically boring theaters, but much of it is riveting, and you sort of need to read the whole account, e.g. the story of Juan Pujol García AKA GARBO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pujol_Garc%C3%ADa) starts very early in the war, when in Spain, on his very own after his offers to help were rejected by the British and Americans, he started running his own deception operation and got accepted as a German agent. Per Wikipedia:

He was instructed to travel to Britain and recruit additional agents; instead he moved to Lisbon and created bogus reports from a variety of public sources, including a tourist guide to England, train timetables, cinema newsreels, and magazine advertisements. Although the information would not have withstood close examination, Pujol soon established himself as a trustworthy agent. He began inventing fictional sub-agents who could be blamed for false information and mistakes.

The Allies finally accepted Pujol when the Germans spent considerable resources attempting to hunt down a fictional convoy. After the initial interviews carried out by Desmond Bristow of Section V MI6 Iberian Section, Juan Pujol was taken on. The family was moved to Britain and Pujol was given the code name "Garbo". Pujol and his handler Tomás (Tommy) Harris spent the rest of the war expanding the fictional network, communicating at first by letter, to the German handlers and later by radio. Eventually the Germans were funding a network of twenty-seven fictional agents.

Only guy to get high decorations from both sides; in The Deceivers you'll find out how the British realized something was awry from mistakes made in the info he was sending the Germans, and as noted above, brought in from the cold. He later played an important role in fooling Hitler about D-Daym wrote him a magnificent letter about how important it was to not get the response to the invasion wrong.
That's a nice simple view of it, I really like it.
I did read the article, and I would remind you:

Let me be clear: I'm not just talking about money here. Rick clearly had money for the vast majority of his life. But even Susan was described as being part of a high socio-economic class:

You may have gotten a different impression, but it's not like mine came out of the blue. The article paints them as pretty well off, especially eventually.
Ah, that makes sense. Still, I sort of expect raw sensor data to be very high volume, so Tesla engineers can probably deploy "queries" to the fleet for which data to upload, but not get the whole thing.
The biggest power of vi for me is about it running on pretty much anything. If it has a keyboard and a screen, it has vi.

Big thanks!

Better bad is not the same as good.

The approach itself yielded the issues such as that you reference, which have only been partially resolved by subsequent iterations of the same approach. I don't believe we should give credit for an approach that yields what is still a net-negative.

It's a new thinking that we need, not reluctant acceptance of the best sub optimal execution the old thinking can deliver.
Can you give an example here of how you think it should work, please. This is one area of REST with which I have a lot of trouble.

Really great! It was honestly a relatively painless transition for me.
Lacking a "public" internet, users are always going to have their expression beholden to the standards of some private entity. Even if you self-host, your ISP reserves the right to define their own idea of "abuse".

Where on the internet can I be assured of protection against censorship? I can't think of anywhere.

The public continues to fund the internet in a variety of ways (not just the original ARPANET, but rights-of-way to fiber etc etc) yet has no guarantees of power of expression.
Former OSX user here: Another vote for using vim out of brew. Brew + iterm2 was the only thing that kept me on OSX for so long due to just how inane OSX is as a unix environment.

I've since put Windows 10 on my MBPr (performs so much goddamned faster, Ivy Bridge era /w Intel GPU only, 8gb of RAM, decentish SSD for that generation), and use msys2 to fill that gap.

Disclaimer: My company Exelion hosts the msys2 mirror because their project is so important to the Windows community, and Sourceforge was having serious issues at the time. Well worth spending a dedi on them to keep the project going, imo.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Yeah, I've learned I suck at managing / growing junior people. I want to be good at it, but I'm not patient enough and I don't like sitting on people. I'm good at the teaching part, I've taught two girlfriends how to code to the point where they are both earning serious money coding. And I'm good at the managing part, I could bring projects to completion that I was proud of and usually on time. But I can't seem to do these two things at the same time.

And really, I have zero financial motive to learn how to do so because while you might get the rare wiz kid, usually you don't.
In many other circumstances it would certainly be an unwelcome precedent, but, this probably isn't as nefarious a hidden kill-switch as you seem to be implying.

The vendors already have and regularly use the capability to push remote software updates, including to low level components like the bootloader or radio baseband. An update to the bootloader which turns it into a display stating "this device is an explosion risk, return it for replacement immediately" and shuts the phone down wouldn't be far-fetched.
Because they don't know better.

We old timers have native experience.

Many of those that use WebBrowser wrappers never used anything else other than web tools and aren't even aware of the RAD tooling we used like Delphi, for example.
I would be super happy if I lost all of my data without my consent. If they backed it up on their servers beforehand, I would be angry they violated my privacy without my acknowledgement. If they disable my phone during an emergency, I'd be outright pissed off.

Its probably a liability issue. If their phone for example starts a fire on a plane that is probably a billion dollars+ right there not to mention the PR nightmare.
First and foremost an API which services it's clients need well is a good API.

There are many people arguing things that aren't REST (e.g. pretty urls, media type based versioning) in the name of REST, and there are also (fewer) people trying to talk about things that are REST (e.g. HATEOAS) in the name of REST. This makes it (understandably) easy to blame REST due to the large amount of confusion.

In fact, I did a Bad Thing in my other comment by pointing out that REST-as-widely-understood isn't REST as all the mature individuals who are interested in REST APIs have taken to referring to them as Hypermedia APIs in order to avoid having to rehash the differences and kick off a flame war. I wouldn't have done it if OP hadn't mentioned HATEOAS.
The article is very ignorant. The internet remains primarily a P2P technology, and will probably continue to be that way forever. The amount of valuable resources on the internet which are utilizing P2P methods are 10000000 to 1 compared to the number of Facebooks.

Also consider that Facebook's #1 product, social blogging, is not profitable, and can never ever be profitable. 100% of their profits are made in other businesses which they've connected to their brand name, which is the only reason for their success. For example, microtransaction-scam "video games".

This is a typical article by someone who does not really understand the internet and has not been using it for very long.
I wouldn't be suprised if what his mother said was true. The printer industry must know about printer chip reset chips, universal refill systems, drilling out their liquid gold containers, and refilling with better/cheaper ink, etc.

My printers sit idle. First it was the price of ink. Then I just found I didn't like fiddling with them. Then I just got used to not using them.

I think the printing industry is in a huge hole, and it will take a lot of ass kissing, and honest innovation, that benefits the consumer, to bring home printing back.

Good luck-

Blaming JavaScript's failure to be maintainable on being dynamically typed is a bit of a red herring in my opinion. Lots of dynamically typed (or, more accurately, duck-typed) languages have plenty of facility to make good, maintainable code, and JavaScript does too. The problem is that JavaScript has more warts than good parts, and the warts prove to be too easy a temptation for many average programmers.
