I wouldn't assume that Git GUIs are mainly for beginners. (I'm not saying you're assuming that, but I do know a few people who've made that assumption.)

I've been using Git for years and know the command line well enough, but I greatly prefer a good GUI.

The reason, even more than not having to memorize commands, is that it gives much more visibility into the state of the repo. Instead of having to poke around with different commands to suss things out, it's all right there before my eyes.

I'm currently using SmartGit. Friends have told me Tower is even better, but I needed something that ran on Windows as well as Mac. SmartGit also supports Linux, but my Linux work is pretty much always in a VM, and I'm fine with keeping source code on the host Windows or Mac system and running Git there. So will definitely check out Tower now.

Just a couple of examples of where SmartGit outshines the command line - I would guess that Tower has similar features:

• I accidentally commit something to the wrong branch. On the command line, it takes a series of git commands like reset, stash, checkout the other branch, pop the stash, add the files again, and finally commit to the correct branch. In SmartGit I just go to the log view and drag the branch markers to where I want them, and it does all that stuff automatically.

• I mess up a rebase or the like and want to get back to some previous state - but now I'm not even sure which "lost" commit will be the good one. The command line provides the reflog, where I can look up hashes for previous commits. Then I can copy the hashes and checkout those commits one by one until I find the one I want. In SmartGit I just click the "Recyclable Commits" checkbox, and now everything in the reflog shows up as part of the normal log view just like any other commit. I can cursor up and down through the log and it lists the changed files for each commit. I can click any of those files and immediately see the diff. All of this is without having to do any temporary checkouts. When I find the commit I want, I just add a branch there or move a branch label to it, and now it's part of the normal history again. Same for stashes: if I have some saved stashes I can view them as part of the normal log too.

I really like this seamless integration of concepts that otherwise involve multiple steps or a completely different methodology like the reflog.

Anyway, glad to hear Tower is on Windows now - will definitely take a look at it!
Not to mention they can reinfect via download and the malware scans the system[1] for:

- putty.exe

- filezilla.exe

- winscp.exe

- mstsc.exe

- mRemoteNG.exe

The malware also has the capabilities to fetch new instructions, so there's no telling what happens when any particular software is detected.

Perjury would be on the table. Fraud, too, maybe, against the actual owner of the content. At a minimum any lawyer involved would probably face disbarment for fraud upon the court; the fact that they're all pro se cases makes me suspicious that a lawyer might have been involved in drafting some boilerplate language but not involved in the actual litigation, but it'd be difficult to argue that, eg, the reputation management firm's general counsel didn't know what was going on.

At the end of the day this privacy trade off (apple gets your browsing info) is probably more secure than an embedded webview that could potentially be exploited and is auto-loaded.

They are full of sugars too, for example this 100% Apple juice that I have is 28g of sugars per 240ml. But most fruit juices that they sell aren't really fruit juices and labels are really deceptive. For my kids, I mix fruit juices with equal part water to help reduce sugars.

Fruit juices are fruits with lots of the good stuff removed but I still consider fruits as desserts and not very healthy...
What does that have to do with Messages?
Probably. You can also use a VPS for more things than just Wordpress, and shared web hosting tends to be kind of a crapshoot in any case; if you're up to doing sysadmin work, you really are better off with a VPS, not least because someone else's screwup is a lot less likely to impact your site.
Good question: will newer firmware continue to behave the same?

The backblaze dataset itself covers a certain duration of time. One could model an early portion of the data, and test the prediction for the latter portion. That could be one way to approach the question.

One unstated assumption here is: the hard dives in the data set are running the hard drive manufacturer's retail firmware, not another storage vendor's (Dell, HP, EMC, etc) modified firmware. I believe this is the case, and it may also contribute to the consistency.
>As a college student looking for a job, a lot of this is quite worrying. I don't really know where to start as a junior developer and I have seen quite a bit of this mentality that "we are looking for the best". Does anyone know how, from our corner, filter out companies that will do crazy stuff like make you barf up 30 sort algorithms?

Don't sell yourself short. As a fresh college graduate, you have a totally clean slate. All companies, even the big 4, will give you a fair evaluation (or, at least in theory, try to) based on what you've been devoting your full time to studying for the last four years. I assure you that it becomes much, much harder to study anything or do much alter your career trajectory once you start working full time.

Yes, you can find companies with easy interviews but, as user5994461 and others have pointed out, they tend to be somewhat mediocre, to put it charitably, in environment and pay. Do you really want to deliberately aim for mediocrity before your career has even started?

You could still have the client use Apple as a proxy. This would reduce the privacy of the message but only the URL and only exposing it to specific service at Apple. If it is a SOCKS proxy, you could reduce the exposure to just the IP address and some amount of leakage to whatever DNS server the phone is using.

If you are creating tabs with pure CSS, the only real reason to do so is for educational purposes, especially considering this is an article about code and not just code.

Paying more money to get a premium service is not innovative in any kind of way. It’s just another luxury service for people who can afford it, and this concept has been around for quite a while now.

Gig economy businesses that work are growing the market, not just taking a share of an existing market. Uber works fantastically because they're cheap enough and accessible enough that people who previously didn't often take a cab now can. That's on top of disrupting the taxi market. If a gig economy business is aiming to lower costs for existing customers then their business model is very wrong. They should be aiming to bring in vast numbers of new customers who don't use the luxury services already. That's where the money and growth lies.
The client could send the request to Apple though, and pass the URL through that way, instead of requesting the actual URL. There's a trade-off there though that Apple gets to see all the links being sent over iMessage.

The client can still ask the Apple server for the metadata, since Apple already knows your IP from the push notification channel anyway. Ideally Apple would ensure that this lookup is not logged or stored in any way so there's no repository of the links people have sent to you anywhere.
In other words, a disk-like distribution of matter does not have a uniform gravitational pull at all points of distance R from its center. You'll find it is stronger near the edge of the disk than at the same distance perpendicular to it.

But stars (and gas clouds) orbiting in a disk are essentially always "near the edge" of the disk (that is, the disk defined as matter interior to the orbit in question), so the approximation is usually pretty good.

reference to the "radial velocity" or speed of stars where I believe they are actually talking about the orbital or tangential velocity.

The (understandable!) confusion originates because "radial" and "tangential" refer, in an observational sense, to velocities along or perpendicular to the line-of-sight vector. To simplify a bit: for observations of astronomical objects, velocities along the line of sight from you to the object (detectable from Doppler shifts in its light) are "radial", while velocities perpendicular to the line of sight (which require that you wait long enough to see things change position on the sky) are "tangential". For edge-on spiral galaxies, the orbital motions that we can observe are those producing Doppler shifts along the line of sight (which are, in the frame of the galaxy, "orbital or tangential", as you suggest).

And lastly, if the dark matter obeys the same laws of gravitation, there must be a reason for its distribution to be different than the other matter.

The usual argument is that dark matter is "non-dissipative" -- that is, it can't lose orbital energy via things like radiation, the way ordinary matter in the form of gas can. (And, unlike gas, it doesn't feel pressure forces.) Stars are also non-dissipative, but stars form out of gas, so their distribution reflects the effects of dissipation in ways that dark matter can't.
The possibilities of this thing blow my mind. Very cool idea.

The URL being disclosed to Apple was what I was getting at, which would happen with any approach that involves Apple performing the request on behalf of the user. I don't think the trade-off you're describing is necessary given that the sender could prepare the preview.
I like the idea of a browser based IDE. I like the idea of an IDE for a lisp-like language that actually offers first-class auto-completion.

I don't like the idea of embedding it into a project. That doesn't make sense from a dependency tree way of looking at it.
Unfortunately two things in the way of that are will and the cost of building a long tail of product features. First, that I'm not interested in running a standalone business, and second - my research here (it's been a lot) depends on being able to spend 20% effort on an 80% solution. I don't build a dynamo or a SNS and don't need a sales and marketing budget when I'm embedded in a large company building something purpose-built. The overhead of normalizing for industry wide generic use cases kills the 500% dream.

There's obviously room here though because AWS definitely takes a margin and that means opportunity!

I have no patience for this kind of article.

Here is the fundamental essence of the article that drives me nuts: the assertion that the reason someone would move to one of these new technologies is because "it's trendy" or "everyone is doing it", "or angular is so 2015", "it's for hipsters". This is the standard mantra of old people everywhere who are too old to learn new stuff.

If the guy would have taken the time to learn the purpose of these tools, their pros and cons, and why one would choose to use them or not use them, that would be interesting. But that would take a bit more time. And actually learning something new.

While I emphasize with old people who feel the world is moving too fast (I am one of them), I have no tolerance for the basic anti-logic of the article: the assumption that new technology only exists because of trendy hipsters who just like change for the sake of change. This logic only exists to soothe the mind of old people who don't want to learn new things.

Count 1:
"Membership of a proscribed organisation. On or before 22 September 2016 Samata Ullah belonged or professed to belong to a proscribed organisation namely ISIS (Daesh). Contrary to section 11 Terrorism Act 2000."

Count 2:
"...he knew that a person receiving it intended to use the skills in which he is being instructed or trained for or in connection with the commission or preparation of acts of terrorism...."

Count 3:
"...with the intention of assisting another or others to commit acts of terrorism, engaged in conduct in preparation for giving effect to his intention namely, by researching an encryption programme..."

It goes on like this. It appears that he wasn't just running a blog informing people of how to secure their privacy but was intentionally trying to help terrorists. I for one am very concerned about the UK's government pushing us more towards a "North-Korean-like" run country, however I don't see anything too unsettling about this. It seems clear that there was more to this than him just running an encrypted blog that made this guy a suspect. Everything references the fact he was specifically trying to help terrorists. That is presumably what this court case will be about, not him just running a private blog teaching encryption to the general public.

Good points, but afaik these political topics are taboo, but I don't think that the establishment is made up of SJW's, quite the contrary. What you actually cannot talk about, is transferring to an actually democratic system - which is easy with the internet and it's power to crowd source - as well as introducing a new economic system to take the place of capitalism. These questions will be silenced long before anyone has time to come up with any words to call you by such as 'sexist' or whatever. They will call you a tin foil hat wearer and ridicule you for being a social outcast. That is the problem.
> their sample size (6,000) is pretty small to be generalizing to all Americans

Not really. It has been a while since I took a statistics class, but a sample size of around 4,00 will give you a 99% confidence rating for the entire US population with a 2% margin of error [1]. Of course, you need to pick the participants correctly, but the size alone is more than enough to generalize to the entire population.

I would be more suspicious of the fact the survey was run by the Freelancers Union and Upwork, two organizations who directly benefit from more freelancers. So it's somewhat in their best interests to get a high result.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination and https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/
The things the government has vocally advocated over the last 5 years are frightening the developer community here.

As a result hosting services outside of the UK are more appealing and talk of registering companies abroad are increasing.

It's sad because every developer I know wants to do the normal thing but draconian news and laws will make people look elsewhere. Negatively affecting the community and most definitely harming it in the long run. The idea of a reduced or harmed dev community in the UK is tragic.
