> AWS does not support ipv6

Wait what? That's getting ridiculous. Seven years ago they would have been on time, perhaps even considered early by some, but three years ago when looking for hosting providers I already laughed at the ones without v6 and moved on without a second thought. They weren't even the cheap ones.

Currently enjoying a €3/mo VPS at Pcextreme.nl with the same specs as the $5 Lightsail VPS. But with IPv6 of course.

Perhaps I've been spoiled with dual stack at home since 2009 from xs4all. Other Dutch ISPs promised it in (iirc) 2013 and every year since, but there has yet to be a second big one to offer it and other countries like Belgium surpassed us by now. Even Germany's Telekom is getting there.

Thank you! I was inspired by something I read about the early history of chess:

"In order to save time, and to prevent useless exchanges, it was agreed that the first player should make his (let us say) fifteen moves all at once, without, however, crossing the middle line of the board; after which the adversary was entitled to play up at once an equal number of counter moves... these preliminary maneuvers the Arabs called Ta'biyat, which signifies 'the drawing up of troops in battle array'."

(quoted from Duncan Forbes "Observations on the Origin and Progress of Chess", 1855 - I first came across the variant in Edward Lasker's "The Adventure of Chess".)

It's too bad. I was thinking about a website that would just identify cams. The website would just map out cams/cameras. I don't think I would have a problem getting info on cameras. The average American worker has been treated like dirt for too long.

Anyways, I don't like being photographed for buying a bolt at Home Depot. I don't see it stoping until people say--no, but it seems like people don't care, or feel helpless?

Personally, I have never liked being photographed, or tracked. I don't think it's o.k. for anyone to bring out the video camera out after a few beers anymore. In my world, those innocent days are gone. I automatically think, "where will those pictures end up?"

I have given up being tracked online.
I'm not nearly good enough to play a master, and I use lichess to play Chess960 (Fischer Random). Can ICC do that?

a) When you open the app you get a problem. Solve it and you get another, and another and another.

Please explain that comment in the context of 94% top income tax rates in the U.S.

And also explain how it is the U.S. recently had a president who said tax cuts were necessary somehow because running a surplus and paying off the debt is bad, and once at war and running large deficits again would not consider a war time tax.

Taxation implies profit. There used to be a time when war profiteering got you sent to jail.

> What the hell does cheating mean in software development.

Management. At Amazon there are literally thousands of managers that don't know what the hell they are doing just waiting for you to code up something they can take credit for and keep their jobs. They hired YOU to do a real project that they can't cheat. If there was a cheat they would have already done it or gotten one of Amazons 15,000 other devs to do it. If they hire you its some combination of no one else can do it or no one better wants to expend the effort in a long drawn out assignment with low payoff.

Lets say you are smarter than 15,000 other people and actually found a cheat. Congratulations, that cheat is now the baseline expectations. You better have more tricks up your sleeve.
The Pebble is a bit like a calculator watch in the early 80's: terribly exciting to those of us who like 7-8 year old me thought the idea of having something hi-tech on my wrist was awesomely cool, and a big, flashing sign saying "geek" (and not in fashionable hipster-playing-geek kind of way, but in the "badly dressed and socially awkward" kind of way) to people who are fashion conscious.

It's almost even worse than that: I don't care much about fashion, and I'm a big geek, but I still kinda judge the few of my friends and colleagues I see wearing smart watches. Watches have transitioned so strongly from "utility" to "fashion" with the rise of smart watches that anything that doesn't clearly look like it's intended to be a fashion accessory first or "ironic" and retro (like a cheap, low end, dumb digital watch) very easily ends up looking out of place and try-hard.

It's like my mind goes "No! you're not that important!" whenever I see someone receive a notification on one - it feels like it's a sign of obsession of self-importance that just steps over the line into caricature.

The difficult, of course, is that cellphones felt like that too - when I got my first cell phone in the mid 90's, it made me feel like now we were "properly doing business", while at the same time certain people definitively were judging.

So it's hard to tell if this is just because it's new, and whether - if it changes - it will change because companies bring out models that satisfies the fashion conscious, or if it will become more acceptable to wear a watch that looks utilitarian again.

Source?

Really, I'm not at all convinced that whipping up an Electron app is inherently quicker than whipping up a native app. Especially when we have robust, mature RAD tools for native toolkits, and things like Qt Quick, WPF, and Java FX let you go the whole "write your GUI in some markup language" route, if that's your bag.

When you raise a big chunk of institutional money though from VCs, the pressure is to grow fast and capture as much market share as possible though.

There was definitely a lot of sense behind the bet that they made.
No, you do not get to simply recategorize earned income as unearned. And also at the time of these high rates there was no seperate capital gains tax. The income tax rate applied. What would not have applied is FICA tax, i.e. Social Security and Medicare, which is only assessed on earned income ( i.e. wages from a job).

My two cents on smart watches: If you already wear a watch, and if you regularly check your phone for notifications, a smart watch is perfect for you (contingent on price and look). If you never wore a watch before then maybe not so.

I finally decided to buy a Moto 360 about a year ago, my main reasons for choosing it:

* it looked like a normal watch (has a round face, and I use a minimal digital watch face, I don't like the fake analog ones)
* at the time it cost about the same as a normal (nice) watch $150, I waited for the 1st gen price to go down from $300

It's actually gotten to the point where if I'm not wearing my watch I get that "naked" feeling as if forgot my phone at home. Wearing the watch makes it way easier to check messages, and dismiss those which aren't important. The only time I don't wear it is when running (I think it's too fragile) or at nicer events like weddings where I'll substitute it for a nice "real" watch (plus I shouldn't be checking notifications anyway).

Edit: I also have never used the fitness tracker features, I personally don't see the point of them. Either I went running or exercised that day or I didn't, I don't think number of steps really or my heart rate tells me more than I already know. Again, my two cents...

But see also:

> In particular, I’m still conflicted about whether all those type system extensions were warranted. Certainly immutability helped with things far beyond safe concurrency. And so did the side-effect annotations, as they commonly helped to root out bugs caused by unintended side-effects. The future for our industry is a massively distributed one, however, where you want simple individual components composed into a larger fabric. In this world, individual nodes are less “precious”, and arguably the correctness of the overall orchestration will become far more important. I do think this points to a more Go-like approach, with a focus on the RPC mechanisms connecting disparate pieces.
Given the buying price is reported as 40 million, I think you could have run a very nice early adopter focused business in that range. No need to cross the chasm...focus on your real customers first. Battery life is a great selling point for example. They could have been fine if they'd delayed the crossing until later with say a "Pebble Style" line.

I got an extra Pebble Time so I gave it my wife and she absolutely loves it. I think you're right about negative perception but I believe, in terms of utility, that smart watches do not need to be a niche as they are.

I pretty much can't live without my Pebble; going back to getting notifications on my phone seems like a big step backwards.
> And they require you to show them all around your room first, to prevent that.

Holy hell, did I miss that or wasn't it mentioned? This might even be the most invasive of all.
Forcing boot passwords to be the same as what unlocks the screen guarantees that they're so weak that they might as well not exist. Meanwhile, users who want real security are fucked.

The same kind of boneheaded removal of features in the name of simplicity is behind Android Pay requiring your phone to have a locked screen -- because that supposedly solves the problem that used to exist of users having to enter a PIN twice when they'd unlock the screen and then unlock Android Pay.
The Matrix, Inverted [video]
My first step with git is always creating a new branch, then I commit multiple times a day with "wip" or minor notes as the commit message. It is purely to capture the stream-of-consciousness of the code. When it comes time to create a sensible patch I immediately branch again. The old WIP branch is not touched until I've completely merged the feature. On the new branch I usually reset then commit hunks in some way that makes sense, or if the changes are small squash everything into a single commit.

You can also do the same thing with tags if you like.

There is no penalty to branches in git... use them. Frequently.

Correlation doesn't imply causation may be the wrong phrase here but as people get older they have more free time to watch these sort of things. Therefore it's possible the older folks passing are simply going to be replaced by younger folks aging. I have 0 evidence, just proposing a thought.
You do realize that taking historic temperatures are pretty difficult and we can only get an approximation? Meaning, you may only get the historic average over a given 5, 10, 50 years when looking at historic data. Meaning some years may have been 5°c warmer on average, while others were 5°c lower on average. We simply can't know.

Regarsless, the point of my comment is still relevant. This has happened before, it will happen again. We should try and minimize damage, but also keep the perspective that in the past tempratures have fluctuated more and faster. It's been warmer and colder on our planet, and everything will adapt.

AFAIK there is some sort of a loophole that re-brodcasting even live show by recording it off of your screen (showing TV frame etc) is not illegal.

Am I wrong?
I agree, it is solvable by defensive code. The vast majority of the time that code is perfectly sufficient. The number of people who don't die when the hundreds of thousands of things that don't go wrong when an embedded C-program doesn't crash or blow apart because of memory safety bugs daily demonstrates this. I don't think people understand just how much of our world is run, quite literally, by "not provably safe" code. It's not just C and C++, either.

Which is one reason why I don't buy the "memory safety" argument as a very strong one for adopting Rust. There are other much better reasons to do so for a certain class of programming, in my opinion.
