It's not just cash and computing devices we are talking about. It's home environment. Home environment is a huge factor on education success.

My mother and sister both do some one on one tutoring of kindergarten age economically disadvantaged children. They've told me about the kids that come in that you can tell are very bright. But due to some of the factors like described in the previous post (eg the stressed out single mom who is always working and has less time to do things like reading with their kids etc., the less safe environment, or even just parents that for whatever reason don't know how to engage in that way), many times they still often come in significantly behind. Which makes sense. If your family actively engages their children in learning from the start, you're going to be better prepared.

Is it possible to overcome that? Yes, but not by simply throwing a Chromebook at them. The good news for instance is that this type of volunteer-led tutoring seems to work very decently at closing some of the gap (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/can-volunteer...). So I think it's going to take more or less solutions in that direction.
I see... So what should in theory fix it is if the company granting you the options also provided a guarantee that they will buy shares from you should you be inclined to sell them (A sort of a "sell at current price" option I suppose). This way you can exercise the options, and sell enough shares to cover the tax obligation and hang on to the rest.
Yes ignoring .gitignore contents is a very useful feature.
That could be added quite easily to findrepo though would probably have to be an opt as it is often useful to search intermediate build files etc. that aren't checked in. Whereas `git grep` handles the other use case of only searching checked in files.

yeah, they're paying for it with advertising. So it seems like a natural choice.
As the author suggests in the article, "Imagine having an application which allowed you to specify what you considered to be an ethical product and what kinds of things you needed or liked."
Putting aside how this may not be all that bad for most SSD's, does anyone know when this behavior started?

Firefox really started to annoy me with its constant and needless updates a few months back; the tipping point being breaking almost all legacy extensions (in 46, I believe). This totally broke the Zend Debugger extension, the only way forward would be to totally change my development environment. I'm 38 and now, and apparently well beyond the days when the "new and shiny" hold value. These days I just want stability and reliability.

Firefox keeps charging forward and, as far as I can tell, has brought nothing to the table except new security issues and breaking that which once worked.

I haven't updated since 41 and you know what, it's nearly perfect. It's fast, does what I need it to do, and just plain old works.

Firefox appears to have become a perfect example of developing for the sake of.
When you have to print thousands of leaflets for a client using that client's corporate colors and, after printing, it turns out that the artwork was in RGB and the colors are not exactly those the client wanted[0], yes, you notice it. And the client always gives a crap.

Of course no one cares if you print something for your house or a friend and the color is slightly off. But in some industries something like that can cost you a big client and a lot of money.

[0] The difference can be quite dramatic, even without a professional monitor.
Indeed, but also, hitting a newspaper read by 1 million people who are semi-technical is far better for a consumer product company than hitting an online audience of 10 million super tech users. The 1 million might just be hearing about you for the first time, while the 10 million online may already know you, seen other articles, moved on to the new hotness.... Those newspaper readers, though, they're wild, fresh and unmolested. Virgin ground for new customers.
Oh. My. God. This is in text so it is going to come across as sarcastic but I 100% guarantee you it is not, I am 100% serious. I have been making that mistake for over a decade and yes I do know the difference but I've still been writing it down wrong every single time it's come up. Why did nobody tell me before now?!

I am genuinely grateful you pointed out my error, it's these little things that people judge us on when we write emails and technical documents.

Please excuse me now though, the Englishman in me demands that I hide under the bed out of shame for the next 26 hours.
Yes, and make() is completely superfluous. make() and new() can be completely rolled into one piece of syntax without ambiguity because they are the same thing.
This was my thinking as well. On a huge social networking site I would imagine this comes up an awful lot and to have to see those types of images along with other abuses has got to be difficult. I'm also curious if you see enough of them how it changes your mind and if there have been any studies on it.

Fortunately I know you can integrate with that hashing project (I forget what it's called) where they generate a hash for known images of child porn so those can at least be removed automatically but I don't know how much of a percentage that catches.

Unfortunately when you deal with criminals, you can't really justify any behavior on either side since they are both operating outside the bounds of the legal system.

Fair enough. But I still don't know why this is a hassle not a feature. You don't have to visit a gas station. Put it this way: if the Model S could have a gas tank (without losing electric range, trunk space or any of the other features that make it unique - I know pipe dream), wouldn't customer be happier to have this option as well.

So does that mean ISS is not going to be abandoned by 2024?
Your comment actually sort of explains the question I asked. Would you still maintain this view if either

a) advertisers reduce their spend on FB because of poor results and the usual problem with saturation of any advertising channel and start looking at other options, or

b) more events play out in the future where Twitter's place as the "other social network that people actually care about" becomes more important/relevant - e.g. one more mass hysteria event surrounding some censorship from FB, or

c) anything happens to block FB from being able to show ads inside WhatsApp?
This, and perhaps a deeper integration in Android.
> You are woefully misinformed if you think that police in the US are taught that violence is the only tool in their repertoire.

"There have been too many lives lost to police killings. Too many phone calls telling families that their loved ones, particularly young black men, won’t be coming home. But in most cases, it isn’t because individual police officers are consciously racist or think black lives don’t matter. It is because officers perform the way they are trained to perform."[1]

"Officers are trained to shoot until the threat is no longer present."[2]

Paul Waldman: Did you think what the officers did [in Powell's shooting] was appropriate? It seems pretty clear that that's standard operating procedure.

Maria Haberfeld: Yes it is, absolutely. [3]

Hurray for state laws that have released the self-righteous upon us. My wife got confronted in a parking lot by self-appointed Dog Police. She was more polite than I would have been ("piss off...and go take a community college physics class"). I mean, sure, here in Texas it can get warm...

There's been some development the last 13 years.

> Sure, but in those cases Java/Swift/C#/etc are also reasonable replacements.

Well, Swift certainly wasn't when Go was introduced, but, yes, Java and C# were competitors in that role when Go was introduced (Java, even moreso at the time, tended to fall short on expressiveness -- which some argue Go does too, though in different ways -- and C# was deeply tied to .NET, which only had a first-class implementation on Windows; both of those have improved somewhat since Go was introduced.)
People always write them off, but I do wonder if it's more of an emotional write off or the fact that as non twitter users, they refuse to see value because they personally don't see value. I'm not a twitter user or advocate but:

316.93M

664.89M

That's their revenue over the past 5 years. Their R&D cost last year was over 800M.

I'm not saying they are Google, I'm not saying they are LinkedIn, but there is definitely big money at play here at a scale investors love (hundreds of millions of users, over 300M at last check) so it might be premature to completely dismiss them.

The goal here is to make you happier and more fulfilled as an individual. But beyond that, a happy person imparts more positive energy on those around them, and is often more productive as well. If enough people were able to use such an app to better align their lives with their moral compasses, it's reasonable to expect a net positive impact on society, even if the granular goals vary widely from person to person.

I think that the article does a fairly convincing job of showing that this is just weird 17th century typography, but then again, there was enough experimentation with printing at the time that it also wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional, at least at some point in the typesetting process.

In that sense, Java and C# both have control too.

There are lots of cases in which escape analysis falls down. In particular, higher order control flow (closures/interfaces) will always cause it to fail, until Go implements some sort of higher order control flow analysis (which I doubt it will). Go uses interfaces a lot.
> I'm pretty sure you can't open a file created with the latest version of Photoshop in Gimp.

I'm pretty sure you can, and you can see all the layers and stuff. Editing though, if I remember correctly, is either extremely limited or non-existent.

Still, when someone gave me a psd I had little hope of opening it at all, yet GIMP displayed it perfectly. That exceeded expectations already, just too bad that I couldn't edit. But then again, it's better than buying an expensive product line just to view a file.

> The graphic design industry is one of these industries that have been completely monopolized by a single vendor.

Exactly, which is one which is one of the reasons I'm a big fan of GIMP and Paint.NET for when people simply don't need photoshop. They often don't, but ask for it anyway, get used to it and then want to keep using it. This is about adults as well as teens who are still in high school and who might later go on to work as designers, and then can only work with photoshop.
So what do you actually want from a community then ?
It seems like you don't want certain people in it, but at the same time you do want them in it. I'm not sure if I'm understanding it correctly.
I found this to be true of securing my house. I had several break ins and the total cost (mostly repairs) was still far less than the cost of installing an alarm system, to speak nothing of paying for police response to false alarms.

I completely agree, but this particular candidate had been using JavaScript for the past year and when we asked him why did he switch to JavaScript from the other tech stack he was using before, he answered something along the lines of "well, it's the latest fad".

So believe when I tell you, we rejected him exactly because of the opposite reasons you state.

It's exactly the opposite of this. Have you read through the FF update notes? The web standards are a moving goalpost - constantly evolving.

On top of that they've been slowly landing incremental improvements to Electrolysis that have allowed them to turn it on for more and more users without big risks to stability. You can't do that for a browser with "big bang" releases every year.

In the last years I think it's been shown that the only model that works for browsers is "evergreen".
I really care about it. I take advantage of it everyday. I close tabs and use ctrl+shift+t to reopen them, I reopen my browsers previous state after closing it, and after computer crashes I don't have to worry about losing any of my precious tabs.
No, "people" are not complaining about that; it's a fine attempt at a straw man, though. What the article complains about through implication is that Firefox is unnecessarily writing too much data to disk.

It's unclear to me that if I defer it and the company goes out of business before then, does that mean I pay no taxes?

And if the price goes up do I pay capital gains or income tax on the difference in value between now and what it went up to? What about the difference between now and my excise price.
