For what it's worth, I do just what I said: I go through my list of comments occasionally, and see if any of them has grown a thread. If there's only one in which you're interested then this method is no easier; but it's a nice way of keeping tabs on all of them (or at least the most recent ones) at once.
Yea, good point.

But on that note, I never understood why they track the drivers in the same git repo as the kernel.

They should just develop a stable kernel API for drivers, and have extract the drivers out and track them separately from kernel development.
Thanks for clarifying! I was unable to find it's pricing scheme, was it posted elsewhere?

I'm a Windows guy. I love Windows, but I wasn't even going to read any of these because I don't use .net core and I don't use .net on Linux at all. If I build something cross platform it's with node or electron python, etc.

However after reading the top comment on this post, about how ASP.net core is one of the fastest performers, that may have all changed. I might actually look at .net core now.

I do think it got reasonable coverage among real journalists, though I would have liked to see more.
Like the article mentions, ISIS and other bad guys do have drones (think DJI Phantoms, not Predators). ISIS even uses drone footage of attacks for their propaganda videos. I saw a report from a journalist following around Iraqi special forces retaking Mosul. At one point an Iraqi officer pulls out his iPad and a DJI controller to fly around and gather intelligence. I'm sure ISIS does the same. It was a little unsettling to see things that I considered fun gadgets/toys used for warfare.

Functional Programming in JS – Applicative, CurryN and Validation Applicative
That's factually a a half false equivalency, and will badly mislead you into conspiracy theory.

- Fox, WSJ, and WaPo are news organizations. HuffPo is definitely not up to their standard, being, AFAICT, a collection of blogs; Slate is primarily essays- not news.

- CNN and BBC are actual news orgs.

Leaving the BBC out of it, as they are British. Please demonstrate where CNN covered a left scandal up.

To echo the other explanation, you have 2 main types of payouts. Lead Generation and Performance (conversion).

In some contexts a click through might count as a lead, but most of the time you need something called a "partial", which some sort of customer information. Be it an email, phone number, address, etc, that the user willing submits.

Most affiliate programs are based off conversion because unqualified leads could quite literally be worth nothing to the business.

The amount the affiliate earns from each also varies greatly. Clicks would be a few cents, partials potentially a few $, conversions tens of $.
If they allow .NET UI, then they will alleviate a major pain point of Tizen, being based on Enlightement/EFL. This also suggest a rift between Samsung and Google, probably Samsung trying to play both Google and MS against each other.
I'm also very happy with Preact. Apparently one approach is to use React in development and Preact in production. Could anyone who does this or knows more about this explain what React offers in development?

The important thing about this news is not the title or the amount. The important thing to notice that Microsoft has moved from extreme hostility to active co-operation with general Linux community. This is a good move and it benefits Linux community lot more than Microsoft.

I always felt that it was needless to paint MS/Linux as some kind of zero some game to begin with. Sad that MS's top leadership fell prey to it in the initial years trying to hurt Linux.
What's the reasoning behind this? If someone wants to take 6 months off between jobs to travel/spend time with family/whatever, why is this seen as a negative?

Thanks for sharing—my family was ripped apart due to my father's unbridled gambling. Although it's conceivable that casinos play their part in motivating people to gamble, much of the addiction is a battle within the individuals.
Gun ownership isn't a religion. Although sometimes its devotees give that impression.
>> Dont affiliates get paid purely on click throughs? No conversion required?

No, not all. I'd be a billionaire by now if this was true.

I've been in the affiliate business for 11 years and so far I've yet to come across any decent program that paid out just for clicks. Everything is conversion-based. For good reason - generating clicks is trivial and dirt-cheap, if you don't have to worry about conversions.

I found a few click-based programs a few years back. Turns out they were just monitoring conversions on the backend anyway, and dropping all non-performing affiliates.
I would be surprised if a text editor was not performant, but then again, most new software is terrible, so, maybe the surprise now comes when something performs.

Pluto’s icy, slushy heart
Now I have four services running on production, all written with Rust. If it compiles, it usually works. Of course you have these late night sessions where you write that one unwrap() because, hey, this will never return an error, right? And bam...

I'm seriously waiting that tokio train to be stable and a unified way of writing async services without needing to use some tricks with the channels or writing lots of ugly callback code. Also the native tls support is coming and the dependency hell with openssl would be gone forever.

If you need http server/client, I'd wait for a moment for Hyper to get their tokio branch stable and maybe having support for http2 by migrating the Solicit library.
> I do think it got reasonable coverage among real journalists, though I would have liked to see more.

A lot of blather has gone on about Real Journalism in the last few years, and it's starting to give me the vibe of a Real Scotsman.

I do agree that the print-oriented news groups seemed to have their head more screwed on than the cable-oriented ones.
You right to free speech does not include the right for others to disagree with you, for them to not listen to you, or even for them to not like you because of what you say - they are also exercising their own freedom of speech by doing so.

Furthermore traditionally we have drawn line beyond which speech is not free (for example shouting fire in a crowded theatre is traditionally not allowed).

Fake news is a real problem, but this seems like an unfair no-win for Facebook from major media outlets. When they had more human editors on trending topics it was "Facebook is injecting their own bias into news and manipulating the public."

Now that it's more purely algorithmic it's "Facebook isn't policing content enough and making it too easy for fake outlets to manipulate the public."

I'm certain that when they follow up by cranking up machine learning to censor fake content it will be "algorithms don't stop everything fake and sometimes block real things, thus manipulating the public."
> To contrast your Fox/WSJ/WaPo list of egregious terrible media, consider BBC, CNN, TYT, HuffPo, Slate (I'll stop there, but I could list 50 more).

I agree that much is bad in that it's sensationalism, which provided Trump with free media and made them useful idiots (the technical term, not a pejorative) for his campaign.

But I don't agree:

1) That it's the same as ideological news; CNN has some real journalistic standards and tries not to lie.

2) That the NY Times in particular, or the BBC, belong in that category. They were neither sensational nor ideological, IMO. (I wouldn't have listed Slate, but I don't know them well enough.)

Certainly the serious journalism outlets are flawed, being human institutions, but I think they do a pretty good job. It's too easy to say, 'it's all bad' - it saves us having to carefully discern and accept imperfection.

It means that development on Kestrel started before work on making System.Net.Sockets cross-platform was completed. The programming model for libuv and .NET Sockets is different enough (mostly in terms of threading) to make the transition non-trivial.

Some recent basic testing show .NET Sockets perform at least as well as libuv. We are strongly considering transitioning Kestrel to Sockets at the same time we migrate from Streams to Pipelines. [1] Pipelines are basically push based Streams that require less total allocations to use. This is because Pipelines allow better memory sharing between producers and consumers.

Disclosure: In case it wasn't already obvious, I work for Microsoft on Kestrel.

There are a lot of programmers in the world, and many of them don't read Hacker News. I meet new people who have never heard of Rust every week almost. Or may have heard of it, but can't tell you what it's for, just vaguely remember hearing the name. Or have heard of it, but remember their first impression from a pre-1.0 version and haven't listened since. ("How's its GC?")

Hackathon team solves Facebook fake news problem in 36 hours
The article talks about Democrats deliberately scheduling local elections at times when it's harder for people to make it to the polls: a weekday that's a separate day from a national election when people might be taking time off work to vote anyway. I would call that fairly substantial; that sort of "make it hard for people to get to the polls" thing is _exactly_ what lots of people rightly complain about Republicans doing. And it is in fact quite widespread; as the article notes it's going on in 44 out of our 50 states.

Update: For the rest, if you're looking for exact counterparts to your list of talking points, I don't have the time to look up references right now.

If you just want a general example of malfeasance, look no further than the systematic way the Democrat-dominated Illinois legislature discriminates against third-party candidates by requiring different numbers of petition signatures for different parties to get on the ballot at all. I have no doubt whatsoever that they'd do this for the Republican party too if there were just slightly fewer Republican voters in the state.

This sort of thing varies by location, of course; my experience in Massachusetts has been that there is a lot less of that sort of thing going on than in Illinois. We do have the election-scheduling thing in Massachusetts, though...

#2 applies to humans as well. For example if I show a human something that looks and has all the properties of a car, the human will think I am showing him a car even if the thing I am showing him is actually called a feather.

Any neural net, artificial or not, can only recognize things as long as it looks similar to what it thinks the thing should look like.
Timing. When we started ASP.NET cross platform there were not cross platform sockets. That came much later. We'll likely move back to sockets in the future (we're actively looking at this).
You may want to reevaluate your stance after you look more closely at the evidence. For example, the supposed "smoking gun" emails about her rigging the primary. Do you know what everyone failed to report on those? The date the emails were sent. They were all sent after Sanders had already lost. Clinton was already the nominee. Of course they would talk about how they are going to help her in the general -- because she was already the candidate.

It was important details like that that were intentionally left out of the reporting to make her look worse.

Edit: Not that it should matter, but I voted for and contributed to the Sanders campaign. I wanted him to win, but I also believe in facts.
> The assertion by the article that real life is coming close to the worlds of black mirror is ridiculous.

While I kind of agree with your ham-fisted comment, I'm going to disagree with your statement quoted above. The article does link similar technologies that show how this is happening. It shows direct similarities between the show, and real-life products and systems that either exist, or are looking to exist in the near future.
I can only guess that Black Mirror coming to Netflix is the first time a lot of people have ever seen decent science fiction. Before that it was what, Battlestar Galactica?, which is basically a soap opera with b-roll of a spaceship.
To be honest, everyone sideloads the Play Store anyways. Heck, they sell it pre-sideloaded here in South America (and with pirated apps if you want them).

Nope - nothing disingenuous. Other posters may not have offered evidence, but they have offered arguments and explanations that can be evaluated and rejected on their merits.

The only person in this thread who has claimed superior knowledge is you, because that is the the only basis for being dismissive rather than offering alternatives.

I do disagree with you. What does it even mean for our positions to be 'reversed'? We are simply people who disagree with each other. What is there to 'reverse' about our positions?

As for my previous disingenuous interactions, if you are referring to me quoting you about overweight gun owners, I stand by that. You were simply being dismissive and I was pointing that out. Nothing disingenuous about that. If you didn't mean it as part of your position, you wouldn't have said it.
If anything, the media bias is in exactly the opposite direction: a horse race between Sanders and Clinton sells advertising. It's literally the reason we have the term "horse race" --- because the media has been selling us this story for generations.
