I've done exactly that for my brother in law. I donated a device and paid for his program membership with my credit card, so I can completely understand why it might have happened. Now, I'm a bit worried about this issue with Apple linking accounts.
If everything is using cmake, and you don't need any inline assembly or fortran for scientific code, then maybe. But you end up in a parallel universe where everything that touches MSVC is just needlessly different than every other platform. If mingw gcc is working for you, then it's much easier for dev skills to transfer between building for Windows and building for unix. If you do need inline assembly and/or Fortran (LAPACK anyone?) then it's easiest to pretend visual studio doesn't exist.
I've just realised that I relate to this a lot. After 10 years in the industry I still have a hard time coming up with accomplishments for my CV as I really think most of them are team efforts, even when some of them have been designed or pushed by myself I can't view "me" as the sole responsible for something.

I think being modest is a good trait overall just not so good for writing your own CVs.
And also with IE9. So what's the problem? :))
I have tried Sublime Text (coded with it for years), then Atom for just a few months until I found Jetbrains' products (due to using android studio) and simply found it better.

It's better because much of the features many people hope to have is built by the professional team and built-in. You don't have to waste a weekend to check 3 alternatives for every feature you want that may not be as good in the end as they are created by developers whose skill vary greatly.

I got tired of tuning the editor when things work out of the box and even better than properly equipped atom/sublime so I can actually get stuff done.

I hope these discussions include more of other non free apps than free vs free.

IIRC Containers in windows are full hyperv containers, so you do get full vm isolation[0].

I would imagine that this would be much more for testing, as it allows for an isolated, empty db for each load. Beyond that, if you're doing a completely containerized infrastructure. Though I would submit that if you're doing windows containers, odds are you're either internally publishing or publishing to azure, so for production, dedicated SQL server or azure sql would likely be better options.

The mingwpy project is slowly working towards making mingw capable of linking to the new ucrt, but it isn't ready yet - http://mingwpy.github.io/issues.html#the-vs-14-2015-runtime

I'm sure they'd appreciate help.

A funny footnote to that article is now with Windows 10 and the ucrt, Windows is "a Microsoft Visual C/C++ Run-Time delivery channel" once again.
You can try LMBD - https://symas.com/products/lightning-memory-mapped-database/
In my opinion there is exactly two production ready embedded databases - SQLite and LMDB. At least this two databases have decent crash recovery mechanisms (I've tested both). I haven't tested all of them, maybe ForestDB and BerkleyDB are good as well.

Whole Foods Market Inc. this year began stocking them in the meat section of dozens of stores mostly in the mid-Atlantic [...]

Not being from the US, I had to look this up since it sounds like they're stocking veggie burgers in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. They're not, though. :) It's a reference to the state of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and West Virginia (although the exact definition varies, this is from the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_states).

So, I learned something today. :)

Suppose that you are chatting to me. You don't want your messages archived in any way.

I really want to keep records, so I have a second device, and take a picture of the screen every time I get a message of you.

There is no software or protocol that can entirely eliminate this human problem. The two parties have to have some level of agreement and trust.

No, you don't. You want your devices to be simple and talk to a bridge that runs e.g. Linux and handles networking. But at the moment this is where the ecosystem is at.

Be very careful with intellectual property issues. Make sure you decide what part of the work you'll do belong to you or them. Discuss that with them upfront, in a diplomatic way (so you don't sound too pretentious). That's very important if you "think" the open source way, where we can share some stuff. Some people are absolutely against that mindset.
You should surely realize that requiring SCSS and requiring JS are two very different concerns.
I remember a time when the coolest thing you could do with JS was mouse trailing bouncy balls. Since then, a lot changed; one of these is that people see JS as salvation from a special hell that doesn't even exist.

That giant ball JS that is included in most sites is absolute nonsense and is not needed in 99% of the cases. We include complete libraries where is should only be a portion.

I'm aware that this is changing, by "compiled" JS - putting together only the required elements - but usually those still have massive overheads.

In my opinion, you should use the tools for what they are the best for. Provide a static, readable HTML first from a backend code - that will run on anything, anywhere; it's accessible, and you've served the main purpose: serving content^1. If you need, add the styling and the animation with CSS. Only after that add the JS layer, which, in my opinion, should mostly be used for data exchange and change triggering.

^1 There are exceptions, there always are; application within the browser, where the main purpose differs from the content delivery. In certain numbers, such as domains, these are the minority; in actual use, it's a different story.

( Imagine a world where the data exchange is not tied together with JS and that we could but other UIs in front of the backends of webapps.. )

Not really. The errors on Firefox at least, just say "Please match the requested format", which doesn't tell the user where they went wrong for potentially complex requirements.
There used to be a job called "consumer reporter" at most major media outlets. Their job was to take stories like this, do a little research, and try to present a somewhat balanced story for the rest of us to consume.

There also was a Better Business Bureau, which had a job to take all kinds of disputes like this and serve as a "memory" for the public.

As far as I know, these mostly-local institutions do not exist in analogue at web scale.

We need them.

Who is this 'we'?

I was just going by what's on your website curran.pw, since that's what you posted here, and continually post in the SEEKING WORK section as a solo developer.

The website clearly states:

> Hi! I’m Shane Curran. I'm a security consultant and full stack developer.

Then it goes on to give the same resume as your Linkedin.

So I'm confused if you have a company that you're associated with... you should link to them.

----

Also, I'll point out there are lots of problems with hiring minors for dev work.

For instance, legally speaking, I can't even talk about any of my companies projects with you.
> Using GCM is only a problem for people running a custom Android ROM without Google Play Services. Using GCM doesn't make Signal less private.

The issue is not privacy, it's the use of a proprietary service. Now, GsmCore from microG does solve the problem somewhat. But then you have to ask "where will you get the app from?". The answer is "not F-Droid because moxie doesn't like it". So you have three options for actually installing the app and keeping it up to date:

1. Use the Google Play Store (proprietary).
2. Build the app yourself and keep it up to date yourself (not fun and doesn't help anyone other than me).
3. Use an unofficial FDroid repo (or do step 2 and host the repo myself). This option means that you have some random administrator controlling updates. I actually agree with moxie that FDroid really should add developer signatures to packages (though IMO the desktop GNU/Linux model of package updates is actually fairly solid -- though you don't have the Open Build Service for android packages :P).

Overall, the choices are a shit-show. Now, I get that it isn't of concern to moxie what people like me have to do to get this to work with their phones. That's fine, I understand. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to mention it if I get the chance -- because it does legitimately make things harder for me. I get that free software on phones isn't a big concern to many people, but it is to me.

> Considering how a small minority complain about this everytime Signal is mentioned you'd think they'd do something about it, but take a look at that Bountysource link and you'll see 8 backers. Guess complaining is easier.

I contribute (both code and money, and also as part of my day job) to many free software projects, but I refuse to contribute to a project which actively encourages the use of proprietary software in order to use it properly. I get that it makes things easier for users, but that doesn't make it right. So maybe you shouldn't be so condescending?

The printed book is truly delightful. It contains a mostly complete explanation of how the difference engine worked and how the analytical engine was supposed to work. It's also full of scholarly footnotes to primary sources of everything she put into it. And it's fun! Steampunk fantasy of what could have been. I hope it gets adapted to a movie or TV series some day.

Consistent environments - Yes VMs and Containers can be equivalent, but the lightweight nature of the container makes it easier to run consistent laptop/dev/test/prod

Security & Flexible Isolation - I can easily share volumes, link and build overlay networks between containers whilst also keeping everything else namespaced and isolated. containers also isolate processes from each other and allow us to control resources granted to processes (cgroups) which is a security benefit over vm

Clustering - Yes SQL server will cluster, but in a container orchestrator we will get more control of moving processes between nodes to scale, to cover failure scenarios or maximise resource usage of the underlying hosts

Standard Image - You would deploy SQL server container but keep data outside as a volume. Maybe devs would populate the database from a script or network share, or yes join a cluster.
Yay for Midori, Konqueror, Epiphany, Dillo, lynx, and all the things a regular dev never have to encounter with :)

Not really the SHA has clauses about that (usually under the deadlock provisions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_provision), in most cases if you don't show up for a vote or intentionally block it you will be removed, additionally normally shares that you buy as an investment if they come with voting rights would come tied to a voting proxy that proxy is usually the chairman so if you don't show up for a meeting the chairman would vote on your behalf.

Pretty much there isn't that much mess you can do, the SHA will be defined to protect the company, you can't act against the interest of the company, you can't dump the shares since the other shareholders have the right of refusal and there are 101 other regulations.

You also need to remember that in most cases there is no need of a unanimous vote of all shareholders, public companies usually follow the 51% rule which means that if you control 51% of the shares you control the company.
There will not be many cases where company operate without a designated majority shareholder, this would scare of investors, the minority shareholders also don't share in any of the revenue of the company unless the company is sold or a dividend is declared so effectively minority stock is "worthless" in most cases and is only used as an investment.

If you own 49% of the company you would only ever see any money if the company is sold, or the majority decided to grant dividends and you effectively can only sell that stock to the company/majority shareholder unless they refuse it and based on the specifics of the SHA they are also allowed to block sells to other parties.
Plenty of public sector institutions have cover letters/supporting statements.

Maybe you would care if that website was yours. These attacks do not discriminate. If your Wifi connected lightbulb (just writing that makes my eyes roll back) is part of a botnet, one day, it might just take down something that you actually need.

That said, them being connected to the internet isn't an issue itself. Make all your IoT devices connect through one central gateway (in your house) that controls all of them and suddenly instead of 20 devices broadcasting on the internet you have a single entry point. Obviously this entry point would be the target of many, many attacks, but securing this one gateway (that would be easier to update than your lightbulb.) is much less of a complicated task than securing all twenty.
Ironically, as a welfare-state-loving young (?) European, just looking at the pictures of horrible desert-of-concrete DC government buildings linked elsewhere in this thread (not the subway, which I really loved when visiting) fills me with unexpected libertarian rage. That FBI building is like materialized propaganda for joining the NRA and forming a militia. Submarine architecture, to make a point against the customer?
I was expecting a rant about how natural language is an inefficient interface for AI, and I got Friendly AI propaganda instead.

Does anyone buy into this at all?

It seems inherently anti-intelligent to limit AI to what we think is smart. Are we going to make AI inherit our very limitations? That seems backward.

I don't see any objective value in artificially constraining progress as a mean to preserve humanity. However, if I did seek to preserve humanity, I would do so by coming up with a strong case for humanity's necessity, which I would make available to AIs.

Thinking of AI in terms of anything other than Aliens is a mistake.

Image sliders are considered bad UX to begin with, and the lack of user control makes them even worse IMHO.
The limits "added by the financial system" come from the limits of real-life resources we have. They are just transferred from the provider of the goods to the person who needs them. The world wouldn't work if e.g. USA consumed all the world's resources and didn't feed the world back with awesome inventions. Should you remove money, third-world producers wouldn't ship their goods to USA because they'd be better off eating them locally; What they're doing is an exchange of food-against-iPhones. I think you get my point anyway.

We don't have additional resources to feed more researchers (and it takes a lot of iPhones and trinkets to motivate an engineer to give up 60 years of his social life for science). We're currently altogether:

- creating iPhones (30,000 employees at Apple),

- have smart rocket engineers (5000 employees for SpaceX, 18,000 for NASA),

- smart medical doctors (800k doctors in USA)

- medical research (if you want to fund future research, you need to give a few dollars for every drug that you consume – We could think about another scheme of retribution, but sooner or later we need to pay researchers and their management for the work they do),

- and trying to create new social spying tools (I'm joking, but seriously innovation keeps 4 million people in the Silicon Valley busy with pitching their start-up or supporting people who pitch their start-up or cleaning the clothes of people who pitch their start-up).

You could reallocate people from Facebook to NASA, but it takes a few more skills, training and hardware to do rocket science than PHP. The assumption that "we have enough smart people and food" to make a leap in space exploration is an understandable concept of "Look at all those numbers! We sure could mix them up and dedicate ourselves to colonizing Mars without caring about finances!" But every resource is currently allocated, and if you want to get more people onto space exploration, you'll have to remove people from other sectors which may be equally important for our future. Finance is just a medium that acts as a proxy of the actual constraints of nature. Removing finances doesn't remove the constraints of nature.
The changes are:

1. It is now SiP, not SoC, because the GR8 chip incorporates 512MB RAM! System-in-Package.

2. They made changes here and there so all of the GR8 is open compared to the previous SoC. Most notably I expect the video decoding/encoding in hardware should be unable now.

3. Much smaller form factor.

4. Now has very fast NAND memory, so flash once and forget.

5. Overall they got input from developers and implemented what is needed.

6. Most important, same day Linux kernel support for the GR8 in Linus's tree. The commit was accepted a few days ago.

The original person (tihonovova) never said "USD". What you saw was someone else's (TheWhiteKnight's) comment on reddit.

However, the original person did use the symbol "$" and his Facebook screenshots used "$". So I do agree with you that he and Facebook do mean US dollars.

If it were Ukrainian currency, it would have said ₴160,000 or UAH160,000. Can someone from the Ukraine confirm that you would never write $160,000 if you actually meant Ukrainian hryvni?

EDIT: Oops, sorry, you are correct, he did say it. His comment was in a collapsed reddit thread that I didn't see.

They already lost face with a bit mismanaged and not so customer friendly replacement procedure and then again delivering dangerously faulty items. It's reasonable from a marketing perspective to end the disaster once and for all. "Oh you own a Note 7? Are you sure it's the really really really not exploding one?"

Well, and that's the trick. Originally, I shied away from VC because I link into LAPACK. Even if I hook into a precompiled library from a manufacturer, they use the same name mangling scheme as Fortran. In order to figure that out, both autotools and CMake compile a small Fortran program and check, which means that I need a Fortran compiler. Technically, I could set a macro to the name mangling by hand since there's only four possibilities, but it's a little irritating. I suppose that I could use VC for the C++ pieces and gfortran for the Fortran pieces, but it's always been easier just to use MinGW.
Thanks, this will help me a lot. Are there any others around that I can access somewhere? Googling didn't help.
My question was more general. Immediately after the line you quoted, I agreed that for such a powerful and closed company like Facebook it might be the only option, because your last resort is your only option.
Of course they're different but the article mentions JavaScript as a dependency. SCSS would also be a dependency it just comes into the stack at a different place but it's there nonetheless.

Regardless my other points still stand.
