I think that, from a design perspective, this is not a really good concept. If your defaults incentivize behaviour antagonistic to your users interest, you are still to blame for this effect.
I started web development by learning Angular 1, maybe I'm the minority, but I actually liked it in the beginning, and only grow to dislike after dived deep into it.

I was a web newbie but experienced developer in other field. The attraction of a framework like angular is it lets you write relatively large chunk of 'flat' code without having to worry about the structure of your code. So for a newbie it's easy to get started, of course you'll eventually face the dark side. But then you have to make a choice to either abandon angular and go for something else, or keep on going and make yourself good at angular.

Another thing is, there are plenty of good resources for learning frameworks like angular and react. Can anyone point to me some good up to date resources of building a functioning website from scratch by using purely jQuery?
I know very little about the working of both Linux and Chrome OS. So here's a question:

On a Raspberry PI, one would typically use the command line, right? So does this VS Code install with a kind of GUI? Of do you need to install a window-manager-type-thing first?
> I am under the impression iMessage is pretty secure

Why's that? (I'm asking seriously, because I don't understand how people get this impression.)

iMessage has some very fundamental design flaws that led to this attack:
https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/21/attack-o...

The attack is not super-spectacular, but the more worrying thing is that the design is not sound. They use an ad-hoc crypto construction that fails to follow usual best practices. And they haven't really fixed it, they just put some duct tape over it to avoid the attack.
That article recommends Tor for browsing without mentioning the dangers involved. Malicious exit nodes are not hypothetical. It's easy to make mistakes with Tor, so I'd be wary of a general recommendation to use it. People who know more about this than me seem to agree: https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/797608924606173184

edit: I'm also unsure about the warning against fingerprint authentication. I use Touch ID with a long passcode and consider that the best trade-off. It prevents everyday attempts to get into the phone and offline cracking. The passcode is required after a longer time of inactivity. If you're paranoid you can touch your pinky against it five times in predictable situations (border controls etc). It's not perfect, but I think it makes the best tradeoff between convenience and security for most "normal" people.
Looks also much alike a password gathering honey-pot :)

the flaw with this logic (low income families access to pc is via Chromebooks) is that everyone already has an arm computer in their pockets with much more power than the rasppi or even Chromebooks.

This topic is dear to me, I often deal with people without any software stacks on their machines and strict IT limits on installing new things. If I were on the same OS as the target user, I'd use pyinstaller. I've used it with very few issues over the past year on many projects. Most of them included Flask/Bottle and parts of numpy, it all worked like a charm. Cross compilation in Python is a bit of an issue, I for one have not resolved it in a satisfactory fashion (not saying it can't be done).

If one wants to be closer to the metal, Go's cross compilation works out of the box, without all the LLVM/MSVC work that Rust requires (for now, that is). As long as you use the standard library (and packages dependent on the standard library), it will work right away. I've cross compiled Go from my Mac for Windows users when I couldn't get my Python setup to do so, worked perfectly.

(Sure, you can script easy things as shown in other comments, this is a bit more general.)

This is not your company, so what's the point?
1900 Eur/Month ¿before or after taxes? There is a huge difference (1900 gross will be about 1200-1400/month after taxes).

20k/yr is a average salary for a junir developer in Spain. 30-35k/yr for an experienced one (5+ years). 35-45k for a manager.

The red flag for me is the lack of information about your role in the company. This means peope in HR don't have a clue about what is going on. Probably you'd be outsourced to a client (a sign of the non-negotiable money amount).

Can you specify how? I was doing this when I didn't have enough RAM for the Youtube player with latest Firefox and it's not what I personally felt. The current player has size options (larger or full-screen), annotations and comments can be disabled (e.g. with Adblock lists). In the end it's always having the video canvas in front of your eyes. Maybe integration with a tiling WM?

It's frustrating that AWS doesn't offer something ideal for databases. Databases should be run with fast local storage, on reliable dedicated hardware. VM instances on shared hardware that may be retired at short notice aren't ideal.
You can put in place all the contractual provisions you want with the user but your relationship with the user is irrelevant. It is your relationship with the host/owner of the content that matters.

Streamus attracted Google's ire because it bypassed ads and separated out audio and visual content. Both of these attributes look to be features of your proposed app. On that basis it is likely to attract Google's attention.

Having said that, it's likely that they wouldn't bother pursuing you until your app became popular, as was the case with Streamus...
I love the term "speed lump". Local government should have more of this.
I haven’t thought of the term in that sense until reading your post. Not because I am unaware of black issues, but because I’m not an American and my context simply lacks the implied connotation for the term in question.

The political correction you ask for is USA-centric. I don’t know if the people behind blacknurse.dk are American, but, if the domain is an indication, they may not be.

Wercker announces Virtual Private Pipelines
>features

I'd glady give up all these gimmick features, like stickers and so on, to have some proper standardization.

I mean audio messages and gif seem revolutionary to some, but in reality it's just a file being sent from one device to another. And in the end it's these end clients interpreting the data.

If email hadn't had become dominant so early, you'd also have companies trying to split and isolate communication, claiming features but actually only going after profits and monopolising.
Of course it uses your Contacts. Would you prefer to add your contacts to WhatsApp individually and maintain a second set of mostly duplicated data?

What he's doing is great. But the premise that it'll help kids learn is flawed. People starting off don't need the best tools. Like the author, I started with BASIC. Nowadays, it'd be Python. It needs to be easy, not perfect (god knows BASIC, Pascal, etc have huge flaws). Visual Studio is complete overkill.

Indeed, the concept of free will is simply illogical and inconsistent. There is no space for it in even conscious experience if one is just honest about it. Sam has made that point quite clearly and Daniel Dennet's way out (a bit of randomness) seems weak to me.

Visual Studio Code is "just" a fancy text editor, similar to Sublime or Atom, not a variant of Visual-Studio-the-giant-IDE. Having a good text editor they'll find in other environments as well is IMHO quite valuable for that goal.
> Legalising drug use would only remove one class of product from these marketplaces. They're still going to need to be shut down.

Operators who allow these kinds of products on their markets are assholes. 99% of the visitors come for the drugs and these markets are exposing them to all kinds of bullshit crap, like guns, stolen credit card numbers or child porn.

I think there would be a lot less 'public' support for markets that sell this crap if drugs were legalised.

If legalisation is too complicated politically, then they should at least allow one or several "honest", drugs-only markets to exist peacefully.

This way the 'asshole' markets would loose all their traffic - both vendors and clients - making them unprofitable.
I know about the shortcut, but I couldn't lend the machine to anybody. Backups, yes, but it's still a massive faff reprovisioning the machine.
Since you seem to know much more about that than me, forgive me asking a direct follow-up question:

Is it, if it's WebRTC, only in-transit encryption or would that mean that the calls content isn't visible for WhatsApp/Facebook at all?
> Freedom of speech does not mean one is free from the consequences of speech.

But who should be held accountable for those consequences?

For example, what about a woman who's struck by a visibly drunk man after telling him to "fuck off"? Should she be held accountable because she should have known better? Should the man be held accountable for his actions regardless of what she said? What about when the consequences of a statement are entirely unintended and unpredictable, which is happening more and more often these days? What about when a joke between friends becomes a public relations nightmare when overheard outside the necessary context?

This is such a meaningless slogan I don't know where to begin. Nobody expects their speech to be free of consequence, otherwise they'd never say anything in the first place. What they want is speech which achieves their intent, which is rapidly becoming all but impossible. It's like coding, only without the pair programming, test driven development, and strong typing.

I tested 9.4 ages ago by polling a table. Upgraded the instance type while in multi az. The down time was about ~14 seconds.

With SQL server it was about ~50seconds.

2 minutes seems like a Long time but I'm curious now and want to test this again and maybe blog about it.
I hadn't seen this before, but it looks fantastic.

I have some time free next week, I'll definitely try to make this happen.

My ultimate goal here would be to convince Microsoft to add ARM support to their official version, although I realize after sending some DM's on twitter back-and-forth why (at least on Chromebooks) it's a road that would be tricky for them to go down.

I'd be pretty confident of getting Raspberry Pi support into the official channels at least though. Certainly this has made a bigger splash this morning than I expected, so they'll have seen it.
I loved the original C&C and while I understand the appeal of RA because of Cold War nostalgia it always felt like more of a spin-off going in a completely different direction than a spiritual successor (or predecessor). C&C was at times corny but felt very much inspired by 1980s/1990s action movies in a way, RA was often bordering on satire.

There were some attempts to make RA1 an actual prequel in the C&C timeline but its success resulted in the timelines diverging too much.

I actually also kinda liked C&C Generals despite it having no relation to C&C other than the branding but sadly that series was pretty much doomed from the start.
> examples of outright lies

A lie is a false statement made with the intent to deceive. I believe CNN is merely wrong. The difference is the intent, but people are far too quick to throw out the accusation of lying every time someone makes a mistake.

Hanlon's razor and all that, would suggest incompetence rather than malice. I find it hard to believe there's a deliberate misinformation campaign going on at CNN where they are trying to get people to believe it's illegal to view Wikileaks emails even though they know it isn't - cui bono?

EDIT - Of course, it is possible CNN were deliberately lied to by, for example, an NSA or CIA official, who they incorrectly believed (due to the implied authority of government officials) and therefore took at face value. I can see the motive for NSA or CIA to lie here, so that people are frightened of committing an illegal act by reading the emails, therefore less people will see them; an obvious benefit, just not for CNN...

Threats to the author of thttpd (2003)
I have the same feeling, I'll list a few of them. Do not that I am not a designer and I can usually find 1000 things wrong with anything but it is hard to give real solutions to it all.

1. The name "SimpleMoney" sounds quite generic.

2. Lots of different fonts.

3. The "simplemoney" section and the "sign in" sections are competing for "first impression" looks (and they are misaligned). Make the login one smaller maybe.

4. The login buttons should be standard but looks self made, and their contents looks misaligned and have dark text on dark background.

5. The background color is kinda bland, and very similar to the next section.

These were all above the fold mind you. I'll do a few for when scrolling down as well. Of various importance.

6. The bevel on the iMac is not uniform.

7. The contents in the iMac is real html, scrolls and the hovers on links are the "text selection" pointer. It's just kind ugly.

8. The two mobile devices are low res

9. The contents in the mobile devices have some "Dyna..." due to narrow. Also it scrolls.

10. "SimpleMoney connects to your email to find your investments." - Guess this is copy, but I don't want it to scan my email to find whatever. Sounds scary.

11. Each section is very small, looks a bit odd.

12. Again, the colors of each section looks bland and blends together too much.

Anyway, hope you can take something from it. Maybe hire some designer to work on it.

How Connecting Big Data and Employee Training Improves Productivity
This is a vague question: it depends entirely on the protocol you're about to use. I'll try to give a few answers anyway.

First of all, if you want total encryption, you'll need to make sure your connection is encrypted and secured as well (meaning following you back is not trivial), so the whole messaging should go through Tor[1].

There are plugin solutions for bitlbee[2], for Pidgin[3], and many other clients supporting OTR and similar encryptions.

If you want all-in-one solutions, you probably should look at Tox[4], which is a protocol, not just an app, built to be encrypted by default. It's complicated and nasty to use and set up, but it's pretty secure.

Other ideas might be drawn from the prism-break Communications list[5], listing apps like Chatsecure[6] or Xabber[7], both encryption-capable jabber apps.

I've been using Rust to build a relatively large cross-platform command-line tool, and I've been genuinely impressed at how easy it is to get things to work on Windows. The Rust standard libraries Just Work on Windows, and they provide pathname handling, threads, environment variables, and a wealth of other tools. Many third party libraries will build for Windows without any problems as well.

I actually do think that Rust's type system helps a bit, because it forces me to consider weird portability issues (such as the way Windows permits slightly invalid Unicode, which Rust represents as OSString instead of String).

And of course, cross-compilation with MinGW is a real help. Sadly, OpenSSL still poses a fair number of portability issues, since it's notoriously difficult to link statically.
The Symantec "this website is ssl protected by"-badge has high customer recognition and will raise conversion rates a tenth of a percent or two.

I highly doubt that's intentional. The water surface is a static, solid, flat, textured plane. The water appears in the boat whenever the boat dips below the waterline because the water texture then overlays the bottom of the boat.
