> when it's very and most likely that they did

Why do you think so? First of all, there are countless "enemies" that would want to hack the US/DNC (North Korea comes to mind, who was accused of hacking Sony some time ago, as does Iran, who was itself victim of US hacking). All of those seem equally likely. Second, it's possible that there was a leak, not a hack.
Am I supposed to find every single website I might ever visit in the future and preemptively pay for their no-ads plan? How is that the answer? What about sites which don't offer such a plan?

And why should people who can't afford to pay, or wish to not have their money benefit someone, be forced to be opened up to security exploits?

I gave that up in 10 minutes. I really tried spinning up a basic docker project (docker compose) without luck. Sure, having a bash is a step forward and I see it getting better but it's no way near to a developer's basic needs.

Nobody would buy the house (apart from foreigners) because it is now linked to the tax that everybody wants to avoid. Also cash flow is a big problem for everybody so it is hard to find somebody that has 90.000 in cash and also willing to buy it.

Move to where? Another city? Another country? Unemployment is everywhere in Greece.

I am not even mentioning the sentimental factor of being forced to sell your parents house for no particular reason.

Also if it was that easy to move somewhere else and find a job, you would have done it already (you would not wait for the government to create this tax and then think about it)

Here is a third scenario for you reading pleasure

3) I am 75 years old living with my wife who is 70 years old in the house that we bought in 1950. We are both retired farmers. Our pension is 500 euros in total. In 1950 the area we selected for our house turned out to be a popular one (in 1950 it was just an empty field).

Government passes the law and our house has a value of 500.000 (because of the area around it). Now out of the blue we have to pay property tax. What do we do?

But in this case, it's pretty black and white.

If you wanted to block ads, paying for the subscription is not only the ethical thing to do, but also much safer as it brings the possibility of being served ads to 0%

If you are okay with viewing ads instead of paying, this is a non-issue, as you will be served the ads just like before.
No one is talking about specific malicious sites, people are talking about entire ad networks being infected, something that has happened multiple times in the past.

When every site gets their ads served from the same central location and that location is compromised, everyone is at risk unless they have strict anti-ad rules implemented.
> Anyone that likes commodities of UNIX...

This is an untrue generalization. I know people who have a Mac, yet do all of their actual coding within containers set up to use some flavor of Linux and never really touch the underlying OS. Macs DO have solid, reliable hardware underneath, but the insinuation that there is no reason you need to run a true POSIX compliant OS vs MacOS is definitely not a hard and fast truth.

"Cut deep and cut once". Multiple rounds of layoffs is going to seed paranoia as well as hurt morale, so it's often better to over-do-it a little than end up with some of your best employees quitting because they're tired of wondering if they're next.

I've seen both in action, and while the large layoff is really nasty, the company can immediately start to look forwards into rebuilding rather than sitting in the "was it enough, who's next?" purgatory.

There can also be differences of shipping costs for delivering to a business vs a residential address. I've seen shipping costs go up by $3+ when shipping to a buyer's home address instead of his office. The zipcode isn't granular enough to differentiate that.

I believe 2 factors contribute to the extra costs: 1) UPS trucks don't drive the residential streets as often as the main roadways where all the businesses are located and 2) many failed deliveries and repeated attempts because recipient isn't at home -- which costs more in gas, driver hours, etc

> There is a quantitate difference between "sorry our bad, we'll let you out of prison" and "sorry our bad, you're still dead". Which one would you prefer?

I think I'd prefer to be executed at the end of the month than be released after a decade in prison. I'm almost certain of it, to be honest.

That doesn't mean that some crimes shouldn't be punished with decades (or life) in prison: they should be. Even if we don't think of it as punishment, there are people who should not be released back into society. But if we have imprisonment, then we will imprison innocents.

As you note, our justice system will always be fallible. But, fallible as it is, we need it: the alternative is worse. We live in an imperfect world, and everything we do will have at least a few downsides along with the upsides.

> > some people who must be killed

> That's a moral opinion.

Of course it is. 'We shouldn't kill people' is also a moral opinion.

From today's NYT article on the Greek property-tax issue[1]:

> Greeks were stunned in 1987 when the police uncovered a gang that had killed at least eight rich elderly people after forging their wills. The plot’s leader was a lawyer and former mayor of an Athens suburb; accomplices included a notary public and a gravedigger.

I think it's pretty indisputable that people who forge folks' wills and then murder them deserve to be executed.

This article is thin on details. But there's a lot of good stuff written about Polynesian navigation technology. I particularly liked the book Vaka Moana, which has an approachable and intelligent description of boats, cultures, navigation techniques, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Vaka-Moana-Voyages-Ancestors-Settleme...

One thing I took away from the book was that Polynesian colonization follows a pattern that looks deliberate. Specifically that they would depart on a voyage against the winds and currents, the hard way, so that they could make a swift return if they couldn't find the destination. Or at least that's what some computer modelling of the spread of Polynesian culture says. That finding is a bit at odds with this NYT article, not sure what that means.

I am hoping that with cross platform Swift we can start seeing more libraries to help us port Mac apps to Linux. I am a Mac developer but I'd love to make stuff available on Linux.

I really like Linux as a backup plan, in case Apple totally drops the ball on professionals on the Mac.

The Linux desktop is getting pretty good, but it lacks well designed high quality GUI applications. If porting to Linux was done easier that could change.

> Completely ignoring the problem and leaving it up to applications further up the stack just ensures that there will be incompatible competing standards for how to tell applications how to decode the string data they get from the OS.

I think it's naive to think Operating Systems aren't going to fragment in order to offer "features" (and lockin), and then papering over all that fragmentation has to happen in the application anyway.

unless there's a standard, and if there's a standard the application itself can deal with it.
Yammer died the minute that acquisition went through. I was working on a data compliance tool for Yammer at the time, and my employer had a handful of large enterprises lined up to purchase it. When the news broke that Microsoft had bought them, they all went noop and abandoned Yammer.

Four years later, Yammer looks exactly the same, and the data access API that I was using, which was supposed to be facing imminent deprecation, is still there.

"We’re glad you’re going to be helping us define this new product category."

Wow, and folks give Apple a hard time about acting like they invented stuff. The hubris of Slack thinking there's some moral high ground for them to take is astounding.

But their post does have me searching the web for Microsoft's offering. Because I don't know what the hell Slack is on about, and I'm thinking what Microsoft has might be better than the disjointed web-app-in-a-native-wrapper thing Slack has going.

EDIT: found it, thanks to whalesalad's post in this thread. Okay, given that the MSFT client looks a hell of a lot like Slack, I can see where they're coming from. Still, it strikes me as someone who wrote the ubiquitous to-do app and then buys an ad in the NYT when Apple includes the Reminders app in iOS, welcoming Apple as they "define this new product category".
And that is related to which part of my post, because I do not see the connection? I didn't mention Windows. And good luck with wrestling with Windows doing UNIX things. It had it, but it was not comparable to Linux and BSDs. Now it is better situation, much better, but still I would rather spin some BSD based system in VM, than try and use Ubuntu through WSL.
There's a lot of speculation on this. But the colonization ships were not accidents or lost fishing boats; they brought fully stocked large boats with plant seeds and breeding animals. Not to mention a mix of women and men. Most places like Hawai'i were regularly visited for hundreds of years. Rapa Nui is a bit more of an exception.
From Remote Maker to Remote Manager: A Primer
Sorry, i edited my reply a little late:

Even if the internet had no ads and no tracking code and no malware anywhere whatsoever, there would still be a need for the technology to block and change the way in which my computer handles the things sent to it by other computers before showing them to me.

I've been programming for 10 years, mostly focusing on systems programming and game programming with backend programming on the side.
We launched "Netflix like" Pornhub Premium last year. We license thousands of scenes from all the top producers. It's $9.99 a month with a free trial (real free trial, not the normal porn stuff where they charge you anyway). It's closer to say Hulu Plus though because you also get the regular Pornhub content without the ads and better quality.
I'm 40 and don't have a degree. There are some kinds of more theory-oriented gigs that probably aren't for me (at the last place I worked, I sat next to a guy perfecting image stitching algorithms), but there's still tons of work out there, and there are quite a few people without degrees or with "irrelevant" degrees who are happily employed. It's also worth noting that the more you see out there, the more you realize you can't know it all. Beyond math heavy gigs, I'm not much of a UX guy, I've never even looked at mainframes, and on and on. So it's just one of many things.

I'd try to finish your degree if you're in a position to do so, but if not, I would not sweat it too much either.
That's an integration problem and the solution is to pipe it through something that knows enough to do the conversion.

If the market is perverted or highly irrational, it does make some sense. For example, just because there are no buyers on the market, doesn't mean your home has no value. (Think of black markets. It's hard to find a buyer, but the item definitely has value) And many governments depend in part on property taxes, it would be a double crisis if a perverse stagnant housing market also bankrupted your government.

The scheme for a fair nominal value assessment does seem challenging to come up with, though. Perhaps you anchor your valuations in a past year, e.g. "what this house would have sold for in 2002".

The limiting factor is WebSocket support, not HTML5. Canvas is more than good enough for complex games.

Unity's issue is that they never had a decent way of exporting to web, and now the architecture is more rigid, they're screwed.

But for game engines that work nicely, you have:

* Phaser [1] - Canvas & webGL
* Pixie.js [2] - webGL with Canvas fallback (Check the gallery!)

Babylon.js would have made the list, but it is slow for me - which tells me that the implementation of the framework can be bad. Not that the technology is slow, as Pixie is blisteringly fast.

If I wanted to build a 3D for Facebook's market tomorrow, I'd choose Pixie.js. Not Unity. It'd be built as fast, and it'd run faster.

Unity is great for the desktop. They haven't conquered the web - their engine is just unsuitable. wasm isn't a solution for that, its just a stopgap.

A GRU is more like a simplification of the ideas in LSTM, rather than a building block. At a high level, it uses the hidden state as the memory of the cell (rather than a separate cell state) and it uses a single "update" gate, merging the forget and input gates. Overall it performs similarly to LSTM while being more computationally efficient (fewer matrices).
"Do this or you're fired" will typically get those below you to produce the change you desire.
