This looks really promising. Thanks. And Git for windows is using mintty, which is a terminal emulator for cygwin, msys, and msys2, but I'm not really sure what is being provided/used. A buncha unix tools and definitely not a package manager.

And for those unaware:

> MSYS2 is an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software.

> The name is a contraction of Minimal SYStem 2, and aims to provide support to facilitate using the bash shell, Autotools, revision control systems and the like for building native Windows applications using MinGW-w64 toolchains.

> We wanted a package management system to provide easy installation of packages, and ported Arch Linux's Pacman. This brings many powerful features such as dependency resolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as providing the build system - makepkg{,-mingw} - which is used to make these packages

One nitpick (I'm sure you've gotten many). If I go to https://mastodon.social/users/Gargron there are no follow buttons. If I'm logged in and I add you to follow, then I can click on your name and get the (un)follow/block buttons, but not from the main user page.

To compare, when I click on aqeel, I get https://social.aqeeliz.com/aqeel which has a subscribe button.
There is a big difference between a comment like that from some you-tube troll, and from a religious leader or imam/cleric.

Iran is different. People trying to justify them with anecdotes like yours miss the point. What Iran is doing is ridiculous: there are minorities in Iran who are not Muslim, who've lived there for millennia even before Islam was a thing, who are now forced to wear a Hijab every day. How is that in any way justifiable is beyond me...

Edit: I can't respond to the post below, for whatever reason. Minorities in question would be Assyrians and Armenians, for example, who are Christians and who absolutely have to cover their heads everywhere they go:

Bringing the Talents in Specific Towards Rate Your Manager
I have seen so many versions of this same script. The fact is that such header comments at the top of every file aren't that useful. I mean, what do you use them for? The information in them, is already stored from the fact that the file is under source code control. If someone moves the file from that then that will just increase the chance that the header comment is wrong.

Put another way, have you ever been reading a file and thought "Oh I wonder which project this belongs to and who wrote it? I'll check the top."
Chris, it's only intuition, i'd have to research RSS more to respond precisely.

However I'm impressed by the fact that you are thoughtfully considering the comments here and taking the time to reply to them. That's always a sign of a good architect, and I look forward to seeing the progress your team makes.
Especially since this avenue leads to profitability for a lucky company who carries it to term.
They have no substance. It clearly contains dog whistle allusions to certain ideologies, but when you get called out for supporting said ideology, you back off and act like you never made the allusion.

If you didn't make the allusion, then you didn't say anything relevant to the topic at hand.
Don't learn a programming language. Learn how to accomplish projects.

Pick a project, whether it's a blog or an automated tea brewer or 3D model viewer or something... and then pick a language that suits your needs.

So many beginners fall into this trap of learning just for the sake of learning; I've found that people with projects and with clear goals make the most progress.

If you want to learn a programming language, read any of the other comments. (I agree with Python being first on the list.) But if you want to learn to program, don't fit yourself into a category just yet. Be pragmatic and use whatever's best for the job.
Good news for you about the Python part of this: there is official interest from The Qt Company around PySide. See 48:39 in Lars Knoll's "Project status" keynote at QtCon2016: http://mirror.its.dal.ca/kde-applicationdata/akademy/2016/35...

EDIT: Also, for anyone interested in Qt, the whole talk is worthwhile to get an idea of where Qt is going.
Thanks for participating, it's great to hear from someone who actually has experience with these things. The rest of us don't really know what we're talking about.

Not that you represent everyone in Tunisia or every Muslim in the world, but do you feel there's social pressure to wear one? Would they be looked down upon or criticized for not wearing one?

I'd like to see a React or FRP approach to the Qt Quick Controls, using C++ (not JS).
I'm not aware of any plan to incorporate programatic costraints into Solvespace. I've given this a little bit of thought before, and I suspect it could be best done with a scripting language tied into Solvespace, in the style of Blender.
One simple explanation is that procrastination starts as a symptom of breadth-first search behavior (which can look like slow progress, and is slow progress if you have a poor algorithm/memory), and then it gets significantly aggravated by a shame/guilt feedback loop.
You're right, that's fair. I can't remember a large bank was hacked as to where their customer's money was stolen or anything like that. It is usually retailers and such.
This is a good explanation of why people think it made sense for Disney to buy Twitter, but I don't buy it. The problem with this approach is that Twitter doesn't own any of those big celebrities or have any way of enforcing them staying on the platform.

When you buy the record label that Katy Perry has a deal with, you're buying it because Katy Perry has a deal in place to make N more records for that label.

When you buy Twitter because Katy Perry is on it, you're not getting anything. She could shut down her Twitter tomorrow and tell all her followers she's only on Instagram.
One wonders if she would also boycott a tournament in France because she could not wear a scarf there?
MS, Apple, and Google are very much still around.

Twitter and Yahoo are up for sale.

FB is the only innovator on your list that could be classed as a newcomer. And it's been around for more than a decade.

I doubt we'll see the big innovation from a garage now, because the cost of entry has become too high for shoestring operators to succeed.

ML training needs fast, expensive hardware. You can experiment with it on a 1080 graphics card, but for industrial applications you need a lot more speed and power.
Look up clash-lang.org. Haskell-modules->Verilog+VHDL with a simple compilation model so you're not leaving performance in the table.

I wrote a 5-stage RISD processor with it for school, was quite simple and easy to abstract.

If hardware was more competitive, industry coding practices would be more efficient. Instead their own self-conception of pain-points prevents them from going after this low-hanging fruit.
Just travel. Focusing on travel-related jobs is not a great goal. Focus on highly rewarding work, and pay your fares.
> Samsung wants to fight with Google/Apple/Amazon/MS and needed a weapon

More likely, Samsung doesn't have the internal chops to build a Cortana/GNow/Siri but has a corporate mandate to have a Samsung version of anything Google does on Android. If you have ever used a Samsung phone, you'll see there's both a bundled (by contract) Google suite of apps and a matching Samsung suite of apps.

I don't think this is a sign of them moving to Tizen or picking a bigger fight with Google or Apple, but a continuation of what they've been doing for several years and something of a non-issue and non-news. I imaigne, like most Samsung apps, it'll be ignored for the superior Google equivalent.

Personally, I'd like to see them leave Android for Tizen. We really need more competition in the mobile space. Shame Samsung isn't serious about leaving Android. The few times I've helped someone with a Samsung phone have been frustrating and confusing. There's just too much Samsung junk on there fighting for your attention.
> That's what everyone on this board thinks.

That's not true. Don't speak for other people.
I love that. In a shop I often go, they sometimes say they "had to remove/recall some food because of probable presence of salmonella". The truth being that the government food security agency forced them to do so because they did find some salmonella, after controlling them on the quality of their operations.

That's what "communication experts" are for, I guess.
I never knew that RS did a videotext system as well as its computer line.
Think for five seconds.

Consider that a population is told that something is the One True Way all their life -- and that anyone thinking differently is evil and should be thrown in jail.

Are you really surprised that a large part of those people would agree with what they are taught? (In Iran's case, this is also asked in an interview situation where their answers probably will reach the secret police known for torture and rape.)
Could you link to story about this?

I don't doubt there is widespread oppression in Iran, but there are so many ugly rumors that go around that I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about.

Also, the hajib symbolizes all of Islam to many Western people, so I try to be careful about conflating one government's brutality with prejudice against a world-wide religion.
Well if I'm playing the devil's advocate, I'd say you're one to talk with a green username.
Stop trolling the OP. How would you feel if he believed you and actually picked up PHP?
Or looking at it another way, they created a ghetto outside of town in which foreign practices can be ignored as they won't pollute wider society. The minimal necessary evil to get what they want from the foreigners.
Yes, so the "pivot" is more from a service to an instrument -- with a different set of regulations that they haven't yet burned to the ground. It's more of a 90 degree pivot than a 180 degree pivot.
FreeCAD & OpenSCAD have both been mentioned a lot in this thread. If you like the thought of the scripting power OpenSCAD gives you, but like the convenience of a GUI at times, the cadquery plugin for FreeCAD may be worth a look. It provides a Python scripting environment in FreeCAD that you can use in tandem with GUI operations.

> 1. I would much rather Musk become rich by furthering humanity than someone making the next cat picture app

Agreed.

> 2. The companies are tackling some of the hardest problems and I think purely to make money he would have picked other easier problems to solve.

That's not necessarily true. Remember that Musk started with $165 million from sale of shares of PayPal when it was bought by eBay, so he could afford to wait a while for his companies to take off. When you have a large amount of money to invest and you're young, it makes sense to invest in things with a high up-front cost and long wait before you get a payoff--most companies aren't willing to take a risk on that kind of investment, and once it pays off, you own something with little competition and a long head start on your competitors.

And, incidentally, it puts Musk in the position of Silicon Valley's golden boy--which has numerous business advantages.

> 3. It is shortsighted to not embrace anyone pushing and striving for the important goals for humanity. Energy, transportation, space travel.

I agree, but we shouldn't do that naively. If we see Musk as being inherently good instead of as who he is, someone trying to make money, we'll be more likely to compromise our ethics because we view him as good.

Imagine a future where SpaceX sets up mines on the moon. This creates a situation where SpaceX has unprecedented control over a subset of its employees--they literally will die without the company's resources, because there aren't other options on the moon. If we naively trust Musk's intentions, we might let this happen without regulation and only add regulation after abuses for profit are discovered--which may be decades too late for the victims of the abuse. But if we realize that Musk is not ethically different from any other CEO, we will have the wisdom to preempt these kinds of problems with oversight.
It's only used to create and manage user accounts. HRCloud2 is not a WordPress plugin. The only WordPress related line of code in HRCloud2 returns the User_ID to see if the user is logged in and direct them to their Cloud drive. Think of it like the Keystone module of OpenStack.
Interview: How Up Hail Uses Scrapy to Increase Transparency
As an obnoxious note from the past, it's way better if you do:

10 PRINT "SOME PROFANITY ";
20 GOTO 10

The trailing ; makes the PRINT not move the cursor to the next line, so you end up with your string plastering the entire screen in a cool (at least to early-teen me) way.

Also, of course computers of that day didn't use lower case (it seems that was an add-on for the TRS-80) quite as often as we do today. :)

And yes, I checked the BASIC manual for the TRS-80: http://www.trs-80.com/trs80-info-level2.htm#IO to make sure this was supported, I never had a TRS-80.
They can go to a soccer game in France, though.
I bought a model 3 a few months ago from a guy cleaning out his basement. Love it. TRS80s were a fantastic computers. Reminds me of walking into RS playing with the display computers, wishing I could take them home.

Was hoping to see a Dungeons of Daggorath game cartridge.

This brings back my memories. Many nights of my elementary school years were spent up late hacking on basic programs on our Tandy Color Computer 3.

I've long thought that learning an imperative language first hindered my comfort level with FP. I felt like learning a functional language first would prepare me better for learning anything else.

I recognize the text pattern from before. Pretty sure I've dealt with this user before, on articles about Diabetes.

In the end, it's a whole lot of breathlessness about veganism will "fix diabetes". Of course, no citations, or cited articles that are completely 180deg out of phase.

I know what worked for me, was a form of Atkins diet (extremely low carbohydrate diet) backed up with my glucometer. I plot trends of foods, and how they respond to me. My limit is 140mG/dL, where we know neurons in agar petri dish die.

Yes, my diet consists of a lot more meats, veggies, cheese, some nuts, some 'dryer' fruits. But no bread, rice, sugar, or things that cause my body to rise.
Ah a troll account....but... Atlanta has it's own "Silicon Valley". Sorry, not true. I am VERY aware ATV and the companies surrounding it. Lots of marketing focused products where the teams often have more business/sales/marketing people than actual engineers. In Silicon Valley they automate these things, in Atlanta they throw more bodies at it.
Android asks once, right after a new app is installed that has the ability to be default handler for that action. There's a slight annoyance factor here, but its taken care of quickly and its a lot easier to see this menu pop-up than dig through settings to manually handle what app controls what.

Meanwhile on my ipad, I feel like Apple is making all the choices and I just have to deal with it. This is the biggest difference between Apple and Android for me. My Android devices have the apps I like and 'just work' when launched or whatever. Apple forcibly opens the Apple apps and I need to run down my screens of installed apps to find what I actually want to run.

I don't know how in this day and age I can't choose my default handlers of a product I own.
> In large part it's a symbol for fear of a religion, Islam.

Weird reaction to an article about a non-Muslim woman who does not want to subject herself to medieval oppressive practices (let's not kid ourselves what Hijabs and Burqas really are) in order to participate in an international sports competition.
Maybe.. I'm in a different mindset when using Twitter than FB. I use Twitter somewhat professionally, to discover new tools, learn things, follow people that are relevant to my work. I use FB purely for my private personal life.

When I see Twitter ads for SaaS offerings or software tools, I actually read them. On FB, I'm very good at completely ignoring the ads.

The claim was not "women are arrested for not wearing the hijab" (and everyone agrees that it's wrong to arrest people for clothing). The claim was "women are arrested, beaten, raped, murdered for not wearing the hijab". Is that true?
I learned C when I was 11, an uncle gave me a book as dense as a dictionary covering all the aspects of the language, as well as algorithms. He called it "The Bible".

For 1 year I woke up at 5:00am every saturday and sunday, to use the only computer we had at home before other people were up so I could do every single exercise of the book (there was about 20 per chapter, 10 first trivial, and the rest were small projects of increasing difficulty).

I consider that this experience is what made me the best programming student even at college, and an excellent developer when in the workplace. The lessons I learned from C are still priceless even though I mainly develop in managed and OOP languages today.

This will teach you basics that will never fade, there're certain Google searches you will never make again.

The important thing when you start is to know how a computer works, and how lines of code are interpreted and executed by the computer, as well as how to express and solve real world problems with computer instructions. You don't need to know every detail, but the less magic it feels, the better.

In other words, it's a service management layer for Linux. Before it, init scripts were mostly a bunch of duct tape (start a daemon and hope it doesn't crash). Some could argue it was more flexible, some could argue that it was a mess. In any case, this is off-topic.

The article was an interesting example of how upstreaming unit file for systemd means more collaboration between distributions, less wasted work.
Assemblies. Freecad technically has the ability to create assemblies, but it's been in beta for years, and you have to compile it from source in order to get it.

Also, I find solvespace much easier to use the Freecad. Freecad has such a myriad of options and controls that I find myself often taking a while to find the one I'm looking for. Solvespace is a much more focused tool, having fewer but easier to find controls.
your comments say you want to learn to make small games as a hobby. Look for resources that teach you how to make small games and don't worry about learning a programming language.

You will learn programming as you go, and gradually find a language or framework you like.

If you want want to make games, but you pick up Python 101, you may get bored and move on, because its not what you are interested in. I recommend physical books for beginners. Look for books like "Programming [X] Games for Beginners."
I don't mean to sound negative - but the HTML stack is the worst thing on earth to start leaning to program in.

HTML, CSS are not 'programming', and both they and javascript are a convoluted, dysfunctional mess.

Yes - they are easy - but they are all super quirky and those quirks form bad habits.

Python is a great place to learn basic algorithms and syntax.
Java is a great way to learn types and basic OO.
C is a good place to learn how to deal with lower-level things, but it can be challenging for beginners.

Javascript should be a great place for beginners - but it's full of so many oddities, that I think starters will be misled. Every JS environment is different, and it's hard to tell what works where. It's also managed by consensus and varies a lot.
