I don't think Apple typically releases security updates for older versions of iOS, although they do for the Mac. I don't see any iOS 8 updates available after 9 shipped, for example:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

I believe your overall point remains valid, though. The most recent hardware that can't update to iOS 9 is the iPhone 4, which shipped five years before iOS 9, and was last sold 3 years ago.
Not really, to verify C code you need to set the compiler and its corresponding version in stone for the verification process, as UB can change even between versions of the same compiler.

Lots of Indians in tech work their way into management and then try to bring home the bacon back to India. They continue identifying as Indian nationals even after going through grad school, green card, etc. You may not have noticed but there was/is a large wave of placing Indians in executive positions at tech companies, so I don't see why this is so mysterious. Did people think they were going to open offices in Omaha?
I disagree with the idea that you can paint anything as racist. Ideas can be expressed in many ways. Yes, I agree that it's a problem when people get discredited and ignored because they don't talk the party line. However, when I came into the thread it didn't look like a "party line" issue, it looked like a thread full of people sharing stories about how awful Roma are. That has nothing to do with intellectual honesty, it's just wallowing in hatred.

The thread appears to have changed since then. The early comments were garbage.
Those are great talking points.

Unfortunately, every single person that I know, that has a security clearance, can easily punch holes in almost all your points.

My views are based on what I have read and what I have been told by people with, collectively, 100+ years of security clearance holding.

* The Clinton private email server was not cleared for handling classified info. Yet classified information went through it as we now know.

* Some things were marked classified and some were not. This has no bearing on anything however. The onus is on the person who has the clearance to treat and handle all classified information properly regardless of whether it is marked properly or not.

* Clinton's intent: "If they can't, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure."

i.e. take classified info, put into email form and strip the classified markings from it, then send to me.

I'll stop there. Basically your points are garbage.

It's a good question. My thought would be this: If you give them a bunch of money, they are likely to enjoy it, but ultimately fritter it away. If you invest in / loan them a bunch of money, you've created an expectation in them that they need to do right by you. They will strive to make that money back and honor your largesse, which allowed them to get started in the first place. In so doing, they create wealth for themselves, their employees, and indeed, the philanthropist.

Basically, I doubt he cares a whit about the money, or losing it, but he thinks the motivations from an investment are more powerful and good than those from a gift.
That precise cartoon was at the forefront of my mind when I wrote my comment (and tempered my comment somewhat). But for some things, you're not one of the 10K, you just haven't been paying attention.
Yes, the LG Prada phone for one. But it's terrible for other people to follow Apple, but completely ok for Apple to ape the design of others.

Designs pioneered by Android and later aped by Apple

* 4, 5, and 6 inch Phablet phones. Remember this commercial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O99m7lebirE

* Mini tablets. http://thenextweb.com/apple/2010/10/18/jobs-7-tablets-should...

* Edge to Edge Displays (now rumored to be in iPhone 8)

* Removing physical home buttons for soft buttons w/haptics (now rumors iPhone 8, iPhone 7 half way there)

* Dual cameras, multi-led flash

* Wide gamut display, shipping in AMOLED phones first.

* Builtin water-resistance, done in Android phones for years, even with a headphone jack present

You can argue that when Apple adopts the design of Android phones, they execute better, but what's galling is that any feature Apple has first is referred to as "theft" when Android adopts it, even if Android improves on it, not the other way around is just overlooked.

Yes. See the manual or the tutorials.
I think domain knowledge is the most important quality of a good manual tester.

We've had great luck with testers that moved from users to testers. We had a nurse testing as a tester on our clinical app and she was invaluable, we had a geologist testing our seismic applications and she was also invaluable.
They also focused on what issues were important in an app, and were great at prioritization.

And we've had cross-domain testers, and they were not as valuable. They seemed to be more nit-picky because they didn't have the domain knowledge to judge what was truly important and what wasn't.

What makes a good automation engineer is pretty similar to what makes a good software engineer.

Thanks! Just checked my filters and I have exactly that rule which I've turned on and off a couple times. I feel bad because I've had really important emails that people might have missed, e.g. an alert for a funeral of an old friend, or a hotel booking. Today was a flight in a Spitfire that someone had booked.

Agree 100%. In India, computer programming has been something parents pushed their children into as a high value career for a long time. In the last 7-8 years we've seen that mentality also take hold in the US as the economy has gone sideways and a lot of formerly-headed-for-finance are looking to make their fortune in Silicon Valley. It really ends up diluting the talent pool over time.

In these cases you really have to make sure you're hiring people with real potential as programmers, and that's easier said than done. Even after 20 years as a hiring manager I still get tons of false negatives and false positives.

Beyond that I think India imposes at least one big cultural landmine which is that subordinates are extremely reluctant to ever deliver any bad news. Effective management requires asking probing questions and reading between the lines, not something that every western manager has great experience or talent with.

Yea, the UI blows but one of the biggest concerns with Skype is that it is a leaky box. I know a lot of friends who have left skype because of government tapping. By tapping, I mean multiple governments all over the world seem to have unfettered access to every call and chat on the system.

When you are using the tool for business, that is a deal breaker.
The challenge with an Indian office of 20 in Bangalore is you're not saving any money. The good employees are cheaper than in the US, but not enough to recoup the administrative and managerial overhead required for it. If the office is 100 people, and you're also doing it for access to talent, then it pays off. Independent of performance, if they didn't see the office growing, it can make sense to close it.
The "real" specification (if it can be said to exist) is the abstract spec, in Isabelle/HOL.
The "why" is often summed as "will this make my life better and by how much?"

I agree that "grinding it out" doesn't apply to creative work. You can have a time block dedicated to writing and produce nothing because you feel the activity is pointless/meaningless.

If you don't see how the end result will make your life better, you will never make progress. Worse, you will get depressed by the meaninglessness of it all and be tempted to self sabotage existing efforts.

Long term goals are an existential crisis because every fiber in your body just wants to say "Fuck it", give up and indulge into immediate unfullfilling gratification.

Intentional self destructive behavior is pretty much any activity that says "Fuck you future self". Often, it requires reflection on your attitude and outlook on the future.
This seems way more embarrassing to storytelling.io. The only take aways I have are how easy it is to switch to a free, open source alternative, and how loudly and publicly storytelling will complain about you. They should have handled this matter in private instead of blogging about it.

Tell that to them. That's my point!

Why I didn't mention StackOverflow, for instance?
The point is that it's pretty clearly a visual area above all else. The pathway from the eye to V1 is possibly the most extensively studied functional neuroanatomical pathway in the brain.

It's also well-established that it takes input from other regions and that this adjusts visual percepts. The idea that mathematical operations recruit visual areas is unsurprising and predicted by every theory of numerical cognition there is. That's why this is interesting.

I'm sorry, but what you're claiming is patently absurd (and, I suspect, purely contrarian).
in early history of smalltalk(http://gagne.homedns.org/~tgagne/contrib/EarlyHistoryST.html) i have found this:

Smalltalk’s design–and existence–is due to the insight that everything we can describe can be represented by the recursive composition of a single kind of behavioral building block that hides its combination of state and process inside itself and can be dealt with only through the exchange of messages. Philosophically, Smalltalk’s objects have much in common with the monads of Leibniz and the notions of 20th century physics and biology. Its way of making objects is quite Platonic in that some of them act as idealisations of concepts–Ideas–from which manifestations can be created. That the Ideas are themselves manifestations (of the Idea-Idea) and that the Idea-Idea is a-kind-of Manifestation-Idea–which is a-kind-of itself, so that the system is completely self-describing– would have been appreciated by Plato as an extremely practical joke [Plato].
I get what you're saying, but it doesn't help practically with the idea what I don't want to buy a new phone all the time.

If I wasn't so wed to Android the right thing to do would be to buy whatever iPhone was new at the time and ride it down until they stopped providing updates. Especially because (anecdotally, of course) iPhone battery life seems to last much better over time than Android, so not only will I continue to receive updates for longer, but it will actually be a usable phone for longer.
Yeah. That's how I feel now that I take XR. I know exactly when I'll become non-functional. Knowing that the clock will hit 0 is distracting and frustrating.

I believe the GP's point was that if you know that your performance goals are very relaxed, then you can make the code appropriately simple from the beginning. Conversely, if your performance goals are stringent, then you can take an appropriate approach from the beginning.
I use Skype on Linux. Its a few versions behind, but to be honest last time I looked at it on Windows it was full of unnecessary flashy effects with no real purpose. I don't care about those as the Linux interface is fine for me. The call quality is crap whatever platform is being used.

Cheap does not mean good value for the money. Let's say it costs them 1M to run that office and they get 0.5M in value from that office. Well, shut it down.

Hell, it could have just been an experiment. Let's see if doing this is a good idea. If No shut it down, if Yes scale it up.

PS: Another concern is how much effort it takes to manage. It can be really expensive to have a small team in another country. Often your better off with either nobody or large teams.

Yes it can?

The result is:
Program error: Prelude.undefined

So by the same logic Haskell doesn't have pure functions, either?
Ask HN: What do you use for company-wide documentation
I've tried using Github Wikis, which is fine for developers, but not ideal as I have to grant everyone access in the company access to GH. I have hosted API documentation, but that's not suitable for everyone in the company.

I'd like to host documentation on everything from how are products work, how our internal systems work, what certain procedures are &c. somewhere that everyone in the company (and only in the company) can access them.

I considered Google Sites (as I assume I can use our Google Apps logins for authentication) but was wondering if anyone here had done this before, and what they would suggest.

Something like a Wiki would be great as it should be updatable by everyone on the team, but I've always found MediaWiki a bit of a mess.
It is a thoughtful suggestion but Im guessing that if it was possible to ship off that gas and make a profit, it probably would have already been done. Perhaps its not that cost effective right now.

In any case, I think now is a good time for them to invest in developing these alternatives, perhaps on a smaller scale, so that when they run out of all the plentiful fossil fuels, they would then have another system that meets their needs.

Asking a 20 year old what they want to do for the next ten years is pretty silly, but I don't think it's as silly to ask the same question of someone older.

The question is: why Europe specifically? There's plenty of neighboring countries that could take immigrants in and could use a boost of GDP by the businesses founded by migrants he speaks of.

It's a quite good Android tablet now. At launch, it was pretty messy. Part of this was because it was supposed to be a Chrome OS tablet but got rushed out as an Android tablet before Android even had split screen. Yes, the OS matters if it limits the hardware. It has 4 mics but didn't even support Google's always on at launch (seriously?). Add to that the fact that the hardware was pretty buggy at launch with lots of users complaining about random reboots and failures.

Right. Copyleft licenses (the GPL and the like) only require you keep software free as in freedom, not as in beer. You can sell the software just fine, so long as you provide the source.

And non-copyleft licenses let you do whatever you want. You can take non-copyleft open-source software, add your proprietary junk and sell it at a killing, if you want. You don't even have to provide the source.
It doesn't sound like you're even remotely informed of what's going on in the Skype world lately. Basically, the old infrastructure was peer-to-peer, and over the last couple of months, Microsoft has been moving Skype over to a cloud version. That's why you'll notice the announcements that a lot of older clients and platforms would stop working, and brand new apps have been made for all of the current platforms... including a brand new Linux client.

If anything, this year is the biggest change Skype has EVER HAD.
Apparently there's a thing 4 :)
