I took an Uber ride where the driver was totally unbelievable, couldn't be more distracted. Swerving while changing Pandora stations, accepting phone calls, diddling with his phone, diddling with every damn control in the car, and ran a red light. It amazes me there's people who not only believe it's acceptable to do this at all but acceptable to so this with paying customers in your car.

I didn't complain though. Why? I had already complained about another driver who was going 50 MPH down a narrow city street as well as being super rude and taking a ridiculously long route way out of the way. So I didn't want to look like a complainer or make it look like I was trying to get a free ride (they refunded my ride when I complained about the other driver).
That would be huge win for Microsoft, presumably if Android apps are written in C# they will be easy to port or have shared libraries with windows apps.
That went away a while ago, unfortunately... though I think yaml may have been better, the json-like structure was much easier than the xml mess for vs projects.

Hoping they added an "empty" project that is just files, closest were some of the web projects, but even then, node projects always felt like an alien afterthought... haven't seen how they are in vs2017, guessing they brought in the ntvs stuff into mainline.

Visual Studio 2017 cross-platform support

Visual Studio for Mac

Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation

What I don't like is the way Microsoft integrates and advertises VS Docker integration, VS CI/CD functionality where everything is supposed to run automagically and their attitude that it's OK for devs to be clueless about these technologies and underlying processes but hey, they still should be comfortable using them.

Today's Microsoft motto: "super easy, super simple, yet powerful". I'm not buying it.
I do not think closed systems have much of a future. They may be hot now, they are not going to last.
sudo apt install mssql-server felt really weird. Oddly a much nicer install process than the last time I installed MSSQL server on Windows(which was admittedly a log time ago, and it could be better now).
Agreed. There should be a function u can call in the console as a fallback similar to Perfect.start(). I bet there is, they just didn't publicize it.
If only running OS X as a virtual guest on a Windows host was supported. Then you could use that as the remote mac that is used with the shim.

It's sad that I'm completely serious, because that should sound ludicrous.
They have a greater tendency to do so, yes.

Probably stems from the implicit assumption that since academia leans left, that these progressives will have the needed scientific support for their policy proposals.

It's amazing how the rebranding changes attitudes.
Well I would say that the numbers strongly suggest that the Democrats lost the election rather than the Republican winning it. Votes for both parties were substantially down compared to 2012; it's just that the Democrats failed in their turnout and lost ground to the Republicans, especially in "battleground" states.[0]

Correct. Promoting aspirin as "good for the heart" is too generic of a phrase; such generalization may lead to healthy people unnecessarily taking a daily aspirin just because it is "good for the heart".

Aspirin is prescribed for some specific conditions due to its antiplatelet effect. From what I understand, for normal healthy people, there isn't much benefit of daily aspirin. And, there is potential for some side effects -- in addition to the same stomach problems / heartburn issues that plague other NSAIDS also has some bleeding type issues due to the antiplatelet effect.
No joke, this was my exact thoughts while reading HN FP. Let's see if said four are fantastics.
My point is that, his hypocrisy notwithstanding, it has maybe one millionth the importance of the fact that a foreign strategic competitor has significantly influenced American democratic processes in order to extract more favorable policies from the USA.
Those kinda amuse me. Unless you got a passenger the act of taking down all those numbers is very distracting.
Is that something Google wants? I don't see the advantage for them short of adding on C# devs
When 99% of the academics agree on something, you could say the science is more-or-less settled. If you disagree, the onus is on you to come up with the evidence/theory to challenge it. Just claiming that "science is far from settled" doesn't make it so; you might as well claim that the "science is far from settled" on the Earth not being flat.
Microsoft Joining Linux Foundation and Welcomes Google to the .NET Community
I agree with all points. But, when the mistakes of Iraq (remember Powell's evidence for WMD?) are so recent, I have to ask haven't we learned anything?

The solution is for the NSA to share their evidence to a third party and the third party to come forward saying, "yup, I've seen the evidence and it is clear and irrefutable". I believe congress/senate are usually that third party, but for something technical like this I think they would benefit from inviting someone like Bruce Schneier to those sessions.

Will it happen. No. But, should it happen? Yes. Especially if there are to be escalations.

Until someone with a better memory and more direct knowledge comes along, I'm going to guess that they used Apple's tools. In the early 2000s, I know that's what they used because I had buddies over in the Mac BU.
I certainly agree with you to a certain extent, but if we're honest there were just as many things to leak about Trump if they had wanted to do so. If you smear one side to put the other side in power and undermine American democracy on the world stage, then you are influencing the election for the benefit of other countries.

In regards to the predictions, it's important to understand that their role in it was the same as it is with the weather forecast: they're just reporting what people come up with.

Those people, the pollsters and aggregators, were indeed wrong with regards to the winner. It's however important to note that the polls were less than 3% off. It just happened to make quite a difference in the winner-take-all system.

538 was arguably more right than others: their model sensed the uncertainty and gave Trump a 30% chance of winning.

Compared to the NYT/WaPo/WSJ, the self-styled outsiders like The Intercept are incredibly biased, or just bad. It's sometimes hard to see how information flows, but barely any actual news starts at The Incept/Breitbart/HuffPost/etc.
Not attacking you opinion at all but I'm a little shocked that someone would have this opinion, I work at a Java shop (using java 8 but I'm mostly now on the node.js side). Java 8 really doesn't have any features that are better than C#'s. Java 8 is missing some pretty major ones, like type inference, automatic getters/setters, LINQ, function passing support that's not brain dead, and a number of of things that make dev life SO much better.
Uh, I would count that media companies shown to be colluding with Hillary ran delegate counts with superdelegates included to be a massive propaganda campaign to influence voters for Hillary by making them feel there's no viable alternative.

It's hard to estimate the impact of that, and I dont recall it happening as much in 2008.

"Nobody wanted cellphones before cellphones."

Everybody wanted them. Do you remember 'car phones'?

Everybody wanted something they could hold in their hands to talk to other people.

Nobody wants a 'computer on their face' which looks like a computer, and doesn't do much.

Snapchats glasses fit perfectly with the Snapchat experience, which on the whole is nothing like most other chat apps, and nothing like Google.

Snapchats glasses are focused on sharing 'serendipitous moments of irreverence among young people' - and that's exactly their brand promise.

I'm not sure if these glasses will become mainstay or grow to be something bigger - but everyone in tech should take note of how Snapchat is doing this.

It's brilliant. Nobody in the Valley - save maybe Apple - even comes close to this kind of smart consumer marketing.
I have [potentially unfounded] assumptions that groups within the NSA/CIA had a hand in the leaks. I'm sure the corruption of selling government positions and influence of foreign money/bribes happens in both establishment parties. Bringing this kind of corruption to the public's eye rings of the 'patriotic' motives of Snowden, etc.
You know that it was two Republicans who started the bipartisan committee on climate change in the House, right? It's not a liberal issue. It's a reality that is happening NOW

Your generalizations are laughable and are only indicative of the toxic thinking that has characterized this election.
I think a lot of us faced these kinds of situations. When I was just starting out I was writing drivers, and asked to write code to detect that a driver benchmark program was running (as opposed to an end-user's application), and if so, route the benchmark to a special code path who's sole purpose was to perform well in the benchmark. I didn't think that was right and expressed my concerns to management. The result was I could just move on to fixing other bugs and they got one of the contractors to do the benchmark detection instead. This echoes what others have said in this thread: for any ethical issue you feel uncomfortable with, there are plenty of other programmers lined up to do it if you won't.
And overwrite is automatic. I don't think there's even snapshot feature so in case of some horrible incident I can retrieve back the old version. I could be wrong.
If you showed a small child 10 pictures of pickup trucks and told them "These are cars" then showed them a motorcycle and said "What is this?" what do you expect to happen?

Remember, this child has never been on the road, never driven a car, never had the mechanics of locomotion taught to them. All they know is that objects that are longer than they are tall with a flat bed on one side and wheels on the bottom are classified as cars.

Once the child (or machine) has more information to associate with the 'vehicle idea' it can call on this information when it sees shapes that are also associated with the 'vehicle idea' in order to extrapolate without having direct previous experience with that object being seen.
These are questions for an attorney/accountant team familiar with such matters. The answers depend on the form of the business and the jurisdiction in which it is established. Those are functions of it's operating plan.

Going further, worrying about tax implications for an imagined future pile of money is a bit of a distraction from making something people want. The difference between $20 million and $15 million is not going to change your life and the net present value of the $5 million difference between the two outcomes is approximately $0.

Good luck.
Oh, it's not a classified a terrorist group by the government because of the mindset/culture that promotes black-favourability.
I thought Trump was supported by economic and not name calling or racial issues. Did people vote for trump because they felt belittled by name calling? That's kind of petty. I was under the impresssion it was due to unheard serious economic strife in the rust belt.
By not taking on more than I can handle.

I consciously limit the number of hours per week I am committing to. Most of the work I take on is pretty straightforward (primarily WordPress plugins/themes) without tight deadlines, so that helps too.
Trump can go die in a hole for all I care, the MSM on the other hand glossed over the continuous revelations about the Clinton campaign. Time after time they refused to even cover the rampant corruption in the DNC, from how the Democratic nomination race was one-sided against Sanders, to how Clinton's very close relationship with Wall Street and her handling of Benghazi deeply damaged her credibility.

I do have a preference for facts but what I do not have a preference for is a Fourth Estate that has been infiltrated and manipulated to support an elite cadre intent on pushing a certain agenda.
What did the NSA keep burried? The article mentions that the NSA immediately pointed out Russia for the Wikileaks hacks, already on October 15th: http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-blames-russia-for-recent-hac...

I agree, but would add that I think their core motivation is to drive developers to microsoft azure. I am sure they believe they would love mac users to buy more MS software but targeting non-ms devs this hard seems like they want to compete with AWS && google.

AWS UX is a dumpster fire. Azure was quite nice from what I can tell. I love VS code and am a mac user. I also strongly dislike AWS as it is extremely complex and annoying. If there was amazing tooling, I would consider switching from digital ocean to azure.

-Git integration is much simpler to setup/use
I'm pretty certain its still written in C++ not dotnet.
There are various interpretations, but the most generous version of it has that Russia and Trump had a coincidence of interest in seeing Clinton defeated, and played off each other to maximize the chances of Trump's victory.

The least generous is the Trump is controlled by the Kremlin, and Putin has installed a toadie he has under his thumb to the US Presidency.

Lying by omission is still technically truthful, how can you reconcile your proposition with the fact that the MSM clearly downplayed Clinton's shortcomings while highlighting Trump's at every moment?
Because in my experience, hardware companies don't know how to write good software.
Yeah, it is a little confusing on that front... I've been really happy with VS Code, as it's always run very fast/well (at least on SSD).
The polls were off by about 2%. Unfortunately, it made a lot of a difference because of the winner-take-all system. These polls, and aggregation models are also not produced by the media themselves, they just report on it as they do for the weather forecast.

Also we didn't "all know it". How would that even work? "I can feel there is a great enthusiasm for Trump, and he will win the election, although he'll get 2 million fewer votes than Clinton"?

The study authors made clear (in another article [1]) that they are not trying to discourage people from infrequent ibuprofen/naproxen use. This study was about prescription doses and daily use.

> "I don't want the public to think that if you take an occasional ibuprofen or naproxen that you're going to have kidney failure or you're going to die," Nissen says. "We didn't study that. We studied daily doses in arthritis patients [taking] ... high doses of these drugs."

The headline doesn't reflect this, but it probably wouldn't get as many clicks if it said "daily use of prescription-level ibuprofen may not be as safe as was thought".

You think some media somewhere about "superdelegates" accounts 3.7 million additional votes for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders?

I agree to disagree with you about that.

Want to know the popular vote margin in 2008, where the superdelegates were also a huge part of the narrative? -273,000.

When I started going into C# from Java a bit, there were two things slightly annoying me:

- Class extensions: I saw code examples online that just wouldn't work for me because the compiler told me a certain method of a built-in class wouldn't exist. After I while I found out that the author of that snippet had used class extensions and not bothered to mention.

- The var keyword: While this is sometimes nice for quick scripting or hacking in the debugger console, it opens the door for hard-to-read code.

Those are not necessarily "magic", but potential obscurities that can't happen in Java, simply because Java lacks these features.
So how do we know if it's a terrorist group if there isn't an organization that recognizes them as a terrorist group? Not even organizations that specialize in discerning terrorist behavior can discern their actions as terrorism, so what metric do we use? Is there evidence that certain social movements are given more leeway to terrorism than others, and if there isn't due to inability to study this subject for black-favorability culture, how does one objectively determine whether or not a black favorability culture exists to the point where terrorism occurs?
