As bdcravens said, Borland was acquired in 2009. The full story is a bit more complex.

Borland was founded in 1983. It bought Ashton-Tate, Analityca, and Wizard Systems in the 1980s. It spun off JPI, too.

Then in the 1990s products (mostly office products competing with Microsoft offerings) were sold off to Corel, Novell, and KSoft while buying Open Development Corporation and Visigenic. The move was on to refocus the company on development tools rather than office applications. They changed their name to Inprise.

In the oughts, they tried to merge with Corel but that failed as no good fit between the two could be found. They changed their name back to Borland. They bought Legadero, Gauntlet Systems, StarBase, and TogetherSoft then spun off CodeGear into its own wholly-owned subsidiary. The also moved to Austin, Texas.

CodeGear was sold to Embarcadero Technologies and later Borland itself was sold to Micro Focus International (yes, of Micro Focus Cobol) for around a dollar and a half per share (around $75,000,000). and operates as a subsidiary of that company under the Borland name.

It's been said that if you do anything relating to software well enough long enough, you eventually get bought by Attachmate, IBM, or Micro Focus. Well, Attachmate (yes, the company that bought Novell and NetIQ) was also purchased by Micro Focus, as was SUSE. HPE Software is apparently up next (for a reported $8,800,000,000) after being spun off by Hewlett-Packard into HPE and HPE then spinning off the software side into HPE Software. I guess Borland did well enough to be in that crowd. Now you can get your Cobol, Pascal, other languages, terminal emulators, security and management tools, code auditing software, and a whole bunch more from the branches of one big company. They do consulting on all of it too.

Oh, and as part of that last deal mentioned, HPE's preferred Linux is now SUSE. So Borland is part of one of the largest software companies in the world, with about 4,000 employees developing for and supporting multiple product segments across multiple platforms including their own.
Why wouldn't Soylent know to whom they sold a particular batch too? Don't they track that? If not, its an oversight that needs immediate correction.

They should have been collecting lot numbers, cross referencing them with sales, and emailing affected customers with the option of immediate replacement and pre paid shipping label for return of suspected batches

As I understand it, they went so far as to build office buildings that could efficiently house as many private offices as possible. So rather than a volume efficient cube, they would build long, thin buildings with offices around the perimeter and shared services in the center.
I had no idea the NL cycling culture was like that. The only cycling dutchman I know is a speed deamon -- but he lived in England then.

Also, yes the word fahren is a bit strange to my English-trained years. But if it lumps "drive" and "ride" together, it also make a distinction that isn't available in English: it is to travel on a vehicle (be it just a pair of roller skates), but not on your own power or on the back of an animal.

That might sound like a weird distinction to make, until you realise that fahren is the absolute favourite activity of the German race. That's why
they are so keen on trains and bikes and why they invented motor cars, jet engines, freeways and (I suspect) the parent-powered sleigh.
That's what always happens to me as well. I've attributed it to me only half-heartedly searching, because deep down I just want to write the tool.
I followed the link related to Google's ban on AGPL and found http://blog.opalang.org/2012/05/opa-license-change-not-just-... What a great post. Specially I like this quote "But in reality, it turns out the license is barred from being used at many companies, so we end up repelling developers. Even worse, we don't get the main expected benefit as most developers won’t release the source anyway while they develop for many possible reasons: It’s not working yet, they are not proud of their code yet, they don’t know what to do with it yet, etc."﻿"

So does the Mark Zuckerberg of today still have the ability to directly access that kind of information? What, if any, safeguards are in place? Asking because it seems kind of an obvious issue.

It could make sense for Alaska.

It could also work for much of Europe, but we probably wouldn't use the word "sophomore", and I've never seen or heard of a school with no windows. I doubt it is allowed.

areas" and "providing adequate views to the outside or into the distance to ensure visual comfort and help avoid eye strain" [1])

Genuinely curious: what are some heuristics that could be used to distinguish between fraudulent reviews paid for by the developer and those paid for by a malicious third party?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems practically impossible to distinguish between the two unless there was a royal screw up somewhere along the line.

What do you mean? You're denying the existence of a) libido, b) drugs, or c) the effect of drugs on libido. Could you elaborate? None of the above statements strikes me as true.

It seems like in general universities are moving in the direction of openness. It makes sense, the more people associate the university with "learning" the more prestige the university gets. I think that Andrew Ng's Coursera class really cemented the Stanford and ML association for a lot of people.

I use 11-rc on Thinkpad X220. Compare to Linux I miss a lot native Dropbox client (Currently I use rclone, but it is not convenient: sync dropbox->local, change, sync local->dropbox). Skype probably will work via Linux emulation, but I haven't tried yet.

Update: also almost all closed source products are not available for FreeBSD, e. g. I'd like to try Jetbrains CLion - it has version for Linux, but not for FreeBSD.

Working in a SCIF isn't so bad when you've got an outside office. I typically spend half my day in each location. I have had days, however, where I go into the SCIF in the morning and don't emerge until its time to go home. Fortunately, that's pretty rare.

It requires time to even learn about how to search for a web hosting company.

Just the words "web hosting" are not in most peoples' vocabulary.

You are right that it's good to teach people computer literacy. But your belief that people can somehow spontaneously learn about web hosting is unrealistic.

People first need to experience something, then get some language for what it is and how it works, and only then can they begin to seek out education about how to learn how to reconstruct it for themselves.

Providing turnkey decentralized application hosting is a way to allow people to first experience what it's like to deploy an application. By having that experience and doing it over and over they can start to have shared experiences around it, from which they will learn language about what it is. Only at that point can they start to learn how it actually works and what it might be like to do it in a different way.

One thing I find really weird is the choice of CEO photos in media reporting. If there is good news, they chose 'nice', attractive photos. If there is bad news, they look for worse ones. This is true for male and female founders.
In this case, everything about this photo is an 'outtake', from hands, choice of framing, facial expression, eyes - it's a photo a photographer would not keep in their image selection.

For me, once I started declaring my UI as a series of components that simply render what they are provided (the common `v = f(d)` expression), it was hard to go back to the Backbone/jQuery way of mutating things all over the place and manually updating DOM nodes to try and reflect the current app state.

> The worst thing of all (in my opinion) is the fact that the open office culture is simply accepted there as being the best thing for all concerned. It's like a theory that cannot be challenged. The introverts basically don't get listened to, while the extroverts can sing and dance with happiness.

Agreed.. this is the most troubling part. If you raise a concern you're brushed off or even worse looked on with suspicion.
You know it's not going to be totally "from scratch." It's just the idea of how much did he build.

I mean if you wanted to be super hardcore, you could 3D print your own switches, your own key caps (or carve them out of wood), but what happens when you get to the controller? We don't have 3d printers for PCBs yet .. well none that are affordable for home use .. or that don't release tons of deadly toxins. :-P
Seriously. There has been so much public effort into encouraging kids to be programmers, and I suspect the pendulum has already been pushed way too hard in the "too many programmers" direction.
Mine does, but you need to go through two doors to get to it.

That's a barrier compared to just chatting at someone's desk. Or the developer doesn't want to move their laptop, so they'd rather stay at their desk that go to the meeting room.

That leads to too many conversations in the open plan office.
"Japan invaded Manchuria to create belated empires though with less overtly genocidal intentions."

Given the number of people the Japanese killed at Nanking[1] alone, I don't think this is a true statement. This site[2] (at and edu) puts it around 6 million total.

the obvious case:

consider a complex submission form with updating state

eg you want to show uploaded images while editing parts of it etc

the realistic case:

if you have a rails app and do frontend "interactive stuff" you end up w/ some js frontend framework - let's say backbone - or even if it's just jquery send as ejs - you will have some sort of dynamic updates, maybe even frontend duplication of templates, you will add classes to places and interact with parts of the page, other people will add more features, some parts of the feature gets removed, that part of it moved to another site, to keep it working you need a certain setup on the page, etc et

pretty soon this gets complex - this is where react shines

reasoning about the frontend is easy because you think in components and in state. not in ui and the interactivity with it over time.

tl;dr: react can help for either a by design complex part of your frontend or your frontend becomes complex over time

it does not help for fast prototyping or small apps imo
I don't use Polymer. It's a non-starter at work, and I wouldn't even consider it for a personal project.

Like it or not, React won, and there is zero chance of this changing. Everyone on my team knows React, and they've never heard of Polymer. Unless Polymer is 10X better (and it is not), we're not switching.

In addition to being the de facto standard, another huge advantage of React is the ecosystem that has developed around it. React Native is amazing, and is the obvious way to go if you want to make a great mobile app (i.e., one that uses truly native UI controls and is not built on top of a slow web browser.) In addition, Redux is awesome and Polymer has nothing specific to offer there (and even if you did manage to wire Polymer up to Redux, why bother?) Finally, React is going places: React is being extended to do layout (taking over from the browser), which will finally make the browser a decent application development platform.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but this is the way I think things really are. I am aware that (a few) others may see it differently...
Idea: The Apache pledge (dead company code auto converts to Apache license)
With the sudden death of RethinkDB http://sagemath.blogspot.com/2016/10/rethinkdb-must-relicense-now-what-is.html I got to thinking why not have all companies, not just open source ones, auto relicense their code to Apache license when they die?
I just skimmed the article but is there any comparison of current suicide rates to previous suicide rates? If not, this article is pointless.
There is no evidence it isn't this either. Detecting fake reviews is easy, detecting the source (probably a click farm) is probably pretty easy too but getting to the bottom of who hired the click farm would be extremely difficult. You'd probably need assistance from law enforcement or a court, probably in a developing country, to get that information from the click farm operators.

I would think its pretty easy to hire a click farm to blatantly post fake reviews to the app store. The worse the click farm is at covering their tracks the better if you're trying to get a competitor banned by Apple.

Dash was a popular app among developers who use Apple products I doubt the fake reviews would be needed. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was caused by a third party.
Buzzfeed has a really interesting model, seems they use all ad revenue that those annoying memes generate to fuel their investigative journalism wing -- which is pretty good from what I've read.
I have a difficult time seeing moral differences where there are no practical differences.

If the government says, "Give us $X so that we may use it to purchase a health plan that includes contraceptive coverage," the effect is exactly the same as if they said, "Spend $X purchasing a health plan that includes contraceptive coverage." I don't see how one could be moral and the other not.

I can see it at the point where it changes from spending money to taking actions. Actually dispensing or taking contraceptives would be qualitatively different from paying for a health plan. But if it's just your money going to an insurance company, I don't see why it matters if it passes through the government first.
Exactly. I believe the/an ancestor was referring to getting registration through Google and taking advantage of a "free" Gmail account against that custom domain.

As far as I know, if you register elsewhere and set up DNS so, you can still get one Gmail account against the domain name for "free" -- in contrast to when Google was rolling out Google Apps to the public and offered first 50, then 25, then 10 "free" Gmail accounts to a unpaid Google Apps account so configured.
With X? Because the docs themselves say it doesn't work well with X [1]. Would you mind sharing your relevant config?

For those of you interested in this stuff, this course (10-702) is the second in a series. The 10-701 course, "Intro to Machine Learning", is a fantastic course as well, even if just for the exercises. This year's version is here [1], you can find lecture notes, links to lectures posted on YouTube, homeworks, readings, etc. You can also just google "10-701" and see a lot of previous course websites with similar material.

For what it's worth, nowadays, the problem isn't availability of learning material. This stuff is being literally given away. Its that you, the student, has to really dedicate time to the material. The first homework assignment for the 10-701 class wasn't even that difficult (relatively speaking) and it still took me over ten hours to finish. Persevere! It's worth it.

> especially when it comes to employment discrimination

I mean, a lot of mental illnesses actually have a legitimate negative effect on one's ability to be a productive worker. It wouldn't really make sense to make it illegal to discriminate against people with e.g. severe learning disabilities who can't read or write.
I would simply say: there are too many changes in the interfaces.

And I agree with that - every new device and operating system changes things, and most often those changes are not necessary. I am not talking about functionalities, but UI.

I am not sure there is any value added in the UI changes between Win 95 and Win10. I am still using the good old WinAmp and TotalCommander which still have not changed by pixel in the last 10-15 years. Once you get used to certain technology, even if it is uncomfortable at the beginning, should not be re-designed and forcefully imposed on users.
The Python coding experience in VS Code is very nice. Regarding to debugging Python code, can't say much about it just because I started using it yesterday. Even so, was a pleasant experience too.
I started using SmartOS partly because it has really nice VNIC support and you don't have to recompile the 10.x FreeBSD kernels. :-) It'd be good to know if 11.0 changed that.

You are being deliberately impolite in almost every comment in this thread, whilst also aggressively demanding respect from others.

I didn't understand what you meant, which is why I asked for clarification. Not being familiar with that term/usage made it look possible that you were yourself misunderstanding. It turns out that's not the case. I don't think my comments were incorrect or rude, so please try to keep the discussion civil.

You can have accelerating frames of reference in Special Relativity; for example, one can set Rindler coordinates on a body that is uniformly accelerating.

Addtionally, you can have locally inertial frames of reference that are inequivalent. Consider two space stations orbiting Earth at different altitudes. The occupants are in free-fall in both cases, but there is a relative acceleration between them.

Rotating frames of reference tend to distract users into confusing coordinate artifacts with physical ones. As a trivial example, suppose we vary the Minkowski metric by introducing a rotation into Cartesian coordinates: dS^2 = -\left(1 - \omega^2 ({x}^2 + {y}^2) \right){dt}^2 + 2 \omega (- y dx dt + x dy dt) + {dx}^2 + {dy}^2 + {dz}^2. Here a non-massless object far from the origin will have |d\vec{x}/dt| > 1, or in other words a coordinate velocity greater than c.

This is essentially the same as your last sentence.

However, when we calculate the four-velocity \eta^\mu of any non-massless object, even far from the origin, we will see that dS^2 < 0 for all nearby points along its worldline. In other words, there is no superluminal motion -- there is just movement against a set of coordinates, and a different choice in coordinates will vary that.

We can certainly do Standard Model physics (or classical particle dynamics) in a rotating system of coordinates, using a number of approaches.

However, it is usually easier to use a different system of coordinates, and even better to abandon the idea of using any global system of coordinates in a spacetime that is not Riemann flat.
I was one as well. I tried a case of the drink (2.0) and enjoyed it. I then got the bars because I liked the convenience. I became very nauseous several times from the bars, and haven't had any more. I follow the soylent blog and hadn't seen any notices, so this is the first time I'm hearing of this. Surprising that they'd post about the Coffiest vitamin deficiency, but not this.

Interesting write-up of the prize-winning research into contract theory and "optimal" incentives.

In his first major contribution, Holmström showed what set of performance measures should be part of the contract. His so-called "informativeness principle" basically says that any performance measure which provides additional information about the actions the agent took should be part of the contract.

A striking implication of this is the managers should not be rewarded for luck. An oil company CEO who cannot control the oil price should not get a windfall gain (or loss) from movements in the oil price. The optimal contract should filter that out. To use a topical example, bank CEOs should not benefit from a general rise in the banking sector (say because of interest rates) – their stock options should be indexed to the stock prices of their competitors.
