I actually like Windows from a technical point of view. However, as a private consumer how do I buy the Enterprise edition that gives me full control of my system? Even with the "Professional" edition Microsoft is still in the driver's seat (e.g. http://superuser.com/questions/1110265/how-to-prevent-window...).
Apple could do it, absolutely. Ever since I read Daemon by Daniel Suarez I have dreamed of AG glasses. I would have bought Google Glass if I'd had the money. Maybe Apple will fix the battery issues, make it better, and we will all be more reluctant to leave the house for fear of getting scanned by the glasses.

I had this quite shity function to give me the feed URL of a channel when I give it the URL of a video:

idyoutube ()
{
if [[ "$1" = *\=* ]]; then
vidid=$(echo "$1" | cut -d "&" -f 1 | cut -d "=" -f 2);
else
vidid=$(echo "$1" | cut -d "/" -f 4);
fi;
id=$(curl -s "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${vidid}" | tac | \grep "data-channel-external-id=" -m 1 | tr " " "\n" | \grep "data-channel-external-id" -m 1 | cut -d '"' -f 2)
echo -en "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=${id}\n"
}
I seem to think of equality as something trivial. Granted that structural equality isn't graph isomorphism. But I don't see why something as specific and performance-sensitive as that deserves the tag "equality". Make a function graphsIsomorphic(), where's the problem?

Btw. in my practice (writing really dull code, and some algorithms) I've never seen the need for complex equality functions. In practice I test IDs - typically integers or short strings.
Linux has a command line and the ability to control one's environment. Mac also has some of these benefits, in part because of its roots with the Linux kernal and many shops are now letting their developers use Mac OS X. However, the hardware costs are prohibitive for many companies as Mac is more expensive up-front than Linux or Windows.

Windows development is great for Windows but in the age of cross-platform development (web, mobile, as well as the rise of Mac OS users) that has its limitations.

> I still don't understand why anyone would buy a Bolt (or a Tesla) over a Volt.

It's a great second car. For families, you buy one PHEV (like your Volt) to handle commutes or road trips, and one Pure EV second car that only gets used for commutes and such. Pure EV's also have significantly lower maintenance.

> Pure EV's are nothing more than "around town" cars in a lot of the country,

This isn't like a LEAF with low 80ish mile limits. At 220+ miles, this new Bolt could drive from Chicago to Milwaukee and back without ever stopping to charge -- quite a bit further than just "around town".
Thanks for noticing, should be fixed. (there goes my "zero maintenance"-claim :) )
There is no us.

I think we actually agree with one another, but I'm just coming at the argument from a slightly more positive position. We, as the engineers who build stuff, need to start making it clear that we don't like what the bad actors do, that we won't build it ourselves, and the "asshole Investor/CEO/PM/programmer" who does won't have a place in our industry. You're quite right that we need systems in place to stop this shit, but you're quite wrong if you think it's someone else's job to make that happen. We can build the certification or market-based systems right now.

I built https://fancyjson.com in a day about 5 months ago. I've used it pretty often since. Its a fancy JSON beautifier.

It tries to compact simple objects and spaces all delimiters. It also attempts to align array children. The idea was to produce the most compact, yet still easily readable form of a JSON document.

I was creeped out when trying to find something like this online, because there are many which send your JSON document to the backend instead of doing it on the client.

What's your definition of "pretty minimal"? FaceTime has noticeable battery usage in my experience, but it's not excessive. I'm not sure how it compares to unencrypted video chat, but I doubt it's much higher. Crypto is typically accelerated in mobile devices these days. I would guess that the screen and network (Modem/wifi active all the time) are the battery-draining bits, and while encoding and encryption don't help, they're hardware-accelerated. That's only a guess, though, and I'd appreciate it if anyone had data on this.

On the contrary, the framework developers at Google, Facebook, etc. spend time on things that most web application developers do not. For example, accessibility for people with disabilities. If more web application developers would use these frameworks and follow the associated best practices, rather than all wanting to do things their own way, then maybe someday web applications will be accessible by default.
After using exclusively linux at home during a couple of years, I have bought a laptop to my wife. I wanted to experience windows 8 (new at that time). It was a complete week of frustration. Almost no application are present by default, the video player complains about all file formats, installation of visual studio express succeeded only at the third try for no obvious reason. The ergonomy was a nightmare (it became usable after discovering many keyboard shortcuts that existed already in win7).

Linux is fast to install (when no problem occurs). Software installation (and deinstallation) is a breeze. Everything is available out of the box. I maintain a diary with a list of non default packages to install:
apt-get install nfs-common wine gnome-media openssh-server squid curl filezilla curlftpfs ethtool docker.io xtightvncviewer x11vnc tmux whois git wakeonlan youtube-dl npm sshfs

Concerning support for old hardware, it was the main reason that made me switch to linux: vista64 had no support for my printer and my scanner.

To me, the Bolt looks just like all the other (non-EV) small/medium-sized hatchbacks, I'd say it's one of the things it has going for it compared to other small EV's.
> Accidental is not a valid reason, same as ignorance

While this happens to be true in this specific case, as a general statement, it's misleading. It is true for copyright infringement because that is a strict liability tort, which means it doesn't require any particular state of mind ('mens rea'[0]).

Not all torts, and not all crimes, are strict liability. In your examples, if a necklace accidentally falls into your purse, that is not theft (in English law, anyway), as theft requires intent to deprive the owner of the thing[1]. Though once you notice it, if you decide not to return it, at that point it will become theft. Speeding, on the other hand, is strict liability (again: in English law, I don't know about US), as are most minor regulatory-type offences where it'd be difficult and impractical to prove intent.

(Also note: tort != crime. Copyright infringement can in some circumstances be a crime, but this is a lawsuit: the company is suing the Navy; the Navy isn't being prosecuted).

AWS is not a virtual machine company. Virtual machines are just one of its offering. At AWS you must architect your software to use other AWS services as much as possible, and spin up minimum count of virtual machines, only when you really need it. Only in that way you pay really what you use and in most cases you will see that the final cost is cheaper than any other infrastructure.

This applies to the most of companies at small and medium scale. If you are at huge scale it might not apply to you.

Ah, the good old times, when the cost of creativity wasnt so astronomically high. If you wanted to risk something, you would just take some time of the working-charts and do it, letting the team then vote on results. No- push your idea in front of the high council, no guiding whats left of it along the pipeline, you just wrote the dialogue, scripted the mission, reused some existing assets, and polished it till it was accepted.

I had the same experience building a SPA with jQuery. Updating the view and keeping it in sync was atrocious.

I also made the mistake of making a non SPA recently, using jQuery on the front end. It's a nightmare. I did this so a friend could collaborate and learn, but I really dread writing code for the front end anymore.

Coming back to the old ways from Angular, Backbone, etc feels like a HUGE step backwards in terms of the amount of time. Like if for some reason I decided to ride a horse instead of drive a car.
Muting words is dumb. It's not really complicated to write n1gger instead of nigger.

Maybe in twenty years people in this forum will be trying to think of a way to get their children excited about hacking drones or building phone apps.

Chicagoan here. I think a lot of the "Only in NYC, right guys?" sentiment applies to pretty much any city with more than 2m people. Big city life follows certain predictable patterns. Ironically, I find it fairly provincial when people say that because it tells me they don't spend time in other big cities. You don't look terribly worldly when you ignore the rest of the world.

You may be right.

However, the Volt is basically just a hybrid with a bigger battery. By 2011, hybrids were pretty common, so being nervous about the tech wasn't as much of an issue. That's the point I'm trying to make: for most people, $30k is a pretty big investment. New tech is a risk, and awards like COTY go a long way to overcoming consumer resistance to that risk.

It's possible, though, that Tesla has done enough to prove out electric cars. Tesla won COTY as well.
It's weird how obvious this is to consumers but how it's been lost on car manufacturers for so long. Literally everyone I know says the same thing about how ugly they are. Maybe now Tesla is helping them finally get it.

I disagree, what has Trump been unclear about? He doesn't think humans cause climate change, but he also doesn't think the planet is getting warmer. He doesn't even seem to think that CFCs are a real problem. He wants to cut the EPA. He thinks asbestos regulations are pointless.

Trump has been clear and consistent for decades on this stuff, which I'm not sure you can say about any other belief of his. A new clarifying statement from the IPCC would not suddenly clear everything up for him.
I wrote a concurrent, super fast webcrawler for my job with Go (~300 LOC) to get data out of customer sites fast even when they have 1.5 million pages or more.

You can basically filter everything to get a .csv file in the end with the links for the given domain, the source for that links, link number, link depth, timestamp, HTTP Request Codes (200, 404 etc) that fits that filter.

Filters: Number of concurrent http(s) requests, max link number, max link depth, must include path, must include word(s), must exclude word(s), local or global search (for links with path, local means you only search for fitting links on that site and the found sites instead of crawling the whole homepage) etc.

It was my first Go project and I always wanted to do multithreading and Go made it so easy. Can't opensource the code because it's company property.

But damn is it fast if you let it run, one homepage didn't throttle me and I got up to 96 Mb/s (on my 100 Mb/s connection) with set to 2000 connections per second.

DDosed our office wifi a few times before I implemented a token bucket for rate limiting (and sometimes just for fun after that :>).
FTA: The battery is expected to last the life of the Bolt EV, and it’s covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.

100,000 miles is not remarkable for cars made in the last decade at least. Most will go 100,000 miles easily with only routine fluid changes. Granted that may be more than what an EV needs but it's not something most people really "worry" about.

None of my current cars are less than 10 years old and none have less than 100,000 miles; my main family car for long trips is a Honda minivan w/210,000 on the clock and it runs like new and is very reliable. And I only paid 8,000 for it when I bought it with 80,000 miles.

I would bet it is actually. Licensing is really where the money is. They've built a substantial lead in the EV market and have some pretty impressive technology.

If Musk is really serious about expanding the markets he says he is, the fastest way to do that is license his technology to other companies. Let them help him increase these EV markets far faster and scale up far greater than Tesla ever could on their own.
