Well to draw a parallel, in the US if there a doctor enabling an athlete (or group of them) with performance enhancing drugs, wouldn't he face jail time for providing that? esports are huge in south korea.
Before anyone looks down their nose at the UK. This is really common in the US as well. If the law is onerous, then there will be exceptions for the politically connected. If the law is helpful or permissive, then it will apply to the politically connected first.

A good barometer for deciding if proposed legislation is helpful or harmful: figure out who the law applies to first and who it applies to last.
For the amount of traffic information they leech from your visitors, yes they should consider offering this for free, you are already paying with the privacy of your users.

And i'll give example, you can create forced browser checks for countries you select. You want to block the country completely? Only available for enterprise.

While imho, the first requires the exact check to determine if a forced browser check should happen, but a block of the country requires an enterprise grade service? Bull shit.

You go to mcdonalds, order a burger without cheese and get charged more then when you order a burger with cheese where you ask the cheese to be checked before it gets applied to the burger, more work. Is this metaphor simple enough?
Eurofunk Replaces Oracle with Feature-Rich Severalnines ClusterControl
It's not about a junior person leading in the decision, it is about deciding between competing solutions. As the senior person you should see the bigger picture beyond the current problem solution even if it's an area your unfamiliar with. The people proposing the solution need to convince you that their solution is the one to go with.

A good lead will listen to all sides, and explain how a decision is being made. The goal is that whatever decision occurs that everyone is okay with it, even if they disagree. This is where people skills (and engineering skills like cost, consistency, time) are just as important as technical skills.

htop is one of the most missed tools when I am on a non-Linux OS.

On servers I find atop to actually be a better tool for finding issues that happen incrementally and not an obvious issue. I think that atop and htop both are very complimentary.

http://www.atoptool.nl/

"Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor for Linux that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even if processes have finished during the interval), daily logging of system and process activity for long-term analysis, highlighting overloaded system resources by using colors, etc. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks (including LVM) and network layers, and for every process (and thread) it shows e.g. the CPU utilization, memory growth, disk utilization, priority, username, state, and exit code.
In combination with the optional kernel module netatop, it even shows network activity per process/thread."

> Have you seen the streets in lower Manhattan? If they get any narrower there wouldnt be any room for cars.

It'd be well within the realm of reason to consider closing a bunch of the narrowest/most heavily foot-trafficked streets in lower manhattan to cars and only allowing delivery trucks during certain hours of the day. It's an extremely impractical place to drive anyway.
You don't know he's a decent human being. He seems nice but has never been tested. Lots of tyrants throughout history have come across as nice in casual interactions and then shocked people with their behaviour once they got power.

Corbyn catches flak because despite loudly proclaiming how straight talking and honest and pure he is, he refuses to disavow Marx (rather: dodged a question asking him to in a classic politician style), and praised Fidel Castro, both men whose ideas and policies caused profound suffering on a massive scale. That rather implies that if Corbyn ever got anywhere near actual power he'd rapidly start abusing it.

When you use proper opcode caching, you avoid the startup hit.

And having a generous amount of RAM usable as disk cache also helps in framework-heavy projects - the more files can be cached in RAM, the less PHP has to hit the disk on require/include.

I am very curious about this phenomenon. Do you have any examples or references?
This is what happens when you have irritating people who just won't be quiet about something completely inane or awkward.

Sometimes you get an impatient government intervention that attempts to render silence upon a non-issue, as quickly and ham-fistedly as possible.

The motivation for absurd, paternalistic government intervention could find it's source in nepotism, cronyism, or a simply an unexpected groundswell of headache inducing tattle-tales.

The nature of the non-issue will inform you about who is capable of gaining the government's ear. In this case their are people getting mad about video games, who are savvy about government process, somehow.
Protesting is a lazy expression of self interest, done in massive, etc.

Taking the time to independently form and express a legally enforceable position takes substantial and ongoing effort.

Generally speaking if you were to take a group of protesters and separate them and have them express the their concerns, related reasoning, their desired change, and expected outcomes... you would get non-sense.

> His lab can tell the difference — they use microscopes and other instruments to look for subtle features that reveal a diamond's origin.

Wild guess as to why anyone can tell the difference: Lab-grown diamonds are more perfect than mined ones. It's probably pretty trivial to introduce impurities to degrade the color, or change the deposition temperature in order to create faults in the lattice. Hell, throw in a microparticle or two for inclusions.

I'd love to know more though, anyone got a reference?
Bryan, I've been glad to follow your post-Solaris endeavours. It was a pleasure working with you and others in Solaris Performance, bringing DTrace, ZFS, Zones, SMF etc. to market. You guys were ahead of your time.

I'm not sure I understand what it means to measure the "economic value of a tree". Yes, trees provide shade and reduce pollution, but does that really mean one can meaningfully attach a dollar value to a tree?

There are two statements that I think are meaningful: "this tree costs $X to plant and maintain", and "This tree provides benefits that would otherwise cost $X". But if you want to make the latter statement, are you really sure you've captured all the benefits? Including aesthetic ones? Because I'm not really convinced that's possible.

Part of this is due to limitations in how iOS communicates this to users. "Always" can refer to either (1) always-on GPS, or (2) Bluetooth, which will ping app-owned beacons. The Bluetooth option is significantly narrower in scope, but uses the same dialog as the GPS.

I worked for a company that relied on Bluebooth beacons to provide a critical app experience (notifications before app itself is opened), so the app blocked the login screen until the Bluetooth-driven "Always" location authorization was granted. It was a headache explaining to users.

Not just Germany, I'm pretty sure this is an EU wide directive. For sure it's the it works in Ireland (where thankfully Uber has not had any success).

So Uber must have some view on why this does not contravene that directive, I doubt they have not considered it.
I doubt that strongly.

In fact - it's considerably less than 0.6% in real life.

The manner in which they calculate 'non gender binary' is really, really soft - i.e. 'if don't feel entirely male or female' you can often be included in that group.

Hell, I'm a pretty straight white dude, but I don't feel 'fully male' 100% of the time!

Moreover - most trans people are actually still 'binary' - they still identify as one or the other.

I'm inclined to agree that Google has more of share of people who are not binary, but in reality, the number is really, really small. Much smaller than 0.6%.
"Mark Shuttleworth has made it clear that in Canonical's opinion". Forgive me for treating the two entities as one and the same, but the point remains the same in the GP's comment. First, Canonical's position is "made clear", and secondly it's evasive.

You guys will do amazing dances to avoid sticking to a line of reasoning. You'll pan Shuttleworth for not giving you the answers you want, and then turn around and claim he's not representative of Canonical when it suits you. You'll quite happily take MJG's opinion as legally binding fact, but refuse to take Shuttleworth's opinion of MJG misrepresenting and misquoting discussions they've had together. That link above of Shuttleworth's is pretty clear in why he's not interested in talking to MJG and his loaded (in Shuttleworth's opinion) requests.

Save us from the fucking puritans, who have to sling shit at a project that's done more than most at actually putting non-proprietary software into the hands of people all over the world. I donate to the Software Freedom Conservancy, so free software is at least somewhat important to me, but you know what else is important? Not wasting everyone's time and energy nit-picking over shitty, trivial points. Pretending that it's not clear what the IP policy says: remove the trademarks and recompile and you're sorted. MJG's "interpretation" is a "squint hard and look sideways" interpretation - the relevant bit explicitly says "if you are going to associate it with the trademarks". Pretending that they reserve the right to send lawyers after you if you strip the trademarks and don't associate it with the trademark is just fiction.

The sad fucking thing is that all the people with hate-boners about ubuntu and this issue of MJG's actually don't want to use ubuntu. They just say they do to make their case. "Oh, I really want to use your Unity and Mir, but I'll shit all over you on trivialities because Canonical is all NIH on projects like Unity and Mir". It's really dishonest. And it's why, in that link, Shuttleworth is saying that it's a lot of work for Canonical, all for something that the complainers aren't actually going to use.

Phone encryption: Police 'mug' suspect to get data
There's a number of countries with legislation passed or pending (Germany is one) to criminalize doping. Marion Jones spent time in prison for it here in the US (though her case was linked to check fraud too, and that's likely what made her go to jail instead of getting off with community service)
I didn't read the comment as such. Comment author assumes (correctly I'm sure) that some people reading feel like they aren't good enough to work at Google because they aren't hardcore software engineers. The point was you can still code and get the perks even if you aren't that, you just won't be on the self driving cars or customer facing projects.
We never had these problems before the disneyfication of Manhattan. This city wasn't designed to be a tourist destination. Manhattan was already over burdened by sucking in most of the other boroughs' residents and the bridge and tunnel crown in for work. Add to that the hordes (literally) of tourists who walk around as if this working city is a park or a shopping mall and you get what we have now.

[p.s. For years I heard the old saw about "loving Paris and hating the French" and wondered as a (yep) tourist why do the Parisians hate us so much? :) Since the past decade I have nothing but sympathy for Londoners and Parisians. Now I get it.]
Defeat and a concession from Jammeh would be momentous.

Yep, that would be huge and unprecedented.
If this was the result of many thousands of such machines, you'd see a much more gradual ramp up and shut down because they wouldn't be in such good sync with each other, plus the ceiling wouldn't necessarily be so sharp either. This is especially true once you consider timezones, and the fact that botnets are not generally confined to a single timezone. While this may be a lot of machines, the relative sharpness of the bandwidth graphs suggests a single control source turning things on and off, even though the attack itself may be using an arbitrary number of machines.

(Note the fact that it isn't perfectly sharp doesn't mean it isn't a single source... it takes time to command and control thousands of machines over the internet.)
No, that's not what society is. Admittedly, public schools are doing their best to "shape" society with their own pathologies, but the behavior "socialized" in public schools still doesn't fly in the adult world. Most people spend their 20s unlearning that bizarre teenage socialization in the "school of hard knocks".
Mind referencing more (all? :D) of the resources you used?
Exactly. In most small companies, the above roles often is the tech lead role. In larger companies, it's quite common to find it broken up - separate architects, different levels of engineers where the higher levels are expected to help guide newcomers or juniors; people to interface with other teams etc. If they then have "tech leads" it usually tend to mean someone who plays some of the above roles within a larger team that may have separate people for some of the functions at a higher level.

And you're right - a lot of people don't want the above responsibilities. I've had teams where despite our best intentions in hiring from within when possible, all the engineers wanted to remain in pure engineering roles, so we had to go out and hire people to fill those roles as the team grew and I couldn't take on all of them myself any more.

Nice.
If something is called 'Ubuntu', I expect Ubuntu to be inside and not some (heavily) modified code. Wouldn't want my own open source software to be associated with a (maybe faulty) derivative either.
Obviously there is a strong habit of having signs on toilets. But I am unsure why. Sitting toilets are the exact same thing for both genders, there's no reason not to have a bin next to them anyway…

Most homes don't have gendered toilets. Why is that so common at work?

Why do you think the separation was made?
Ads everywhere. Typical.

Your responses are exceedingly worthless and snarky, try actually putting forth some kind of substantive statement instead of following me around.

A student that is placed into a public school has many teachers, with many other student peers from all walks of life that will offer their own perspectives on anything from social issues to academic subjects. Your disingenuous hyperbolic claim that this environment is somehow "walled off" is ridiculous non-sense.
Where did they ever do that? Where did they ever bully an entity that made a derivative without using the term Ubuntu, where did they wrongly not give permission, where did they state ownership wrongly to sabotage another project?

The only times I saw something in that direction was with modified Ubuntu images being called Ubuntu, where their motivation is clear: protecting their image and their users. If that is their only goal, then I understand why they want to keep this tool to achieve it.

I agree that the terms should be formulated clearer, and always having to ask canonical for a derivative is clearly them claiming rights they do not have. I'm not even sure they do that. If they did, would that mean they are a bully doing bad things? No.
Can anyone imagine building a house where the window and the door crafts-men would use different materials, techniques and tools in each of the different rooms? Or where they would gather in a scrum and discuss this until they have reached consensus?

In no other profession would anyone embark on a large scale project without proper technical coordination. And this technical coordination is backed up by codes - the kind of codes that are legally enforceable.

Somehow software and the people working in there is different. There is a lot of confusion about the responsibility of the individual and team across the development process as evidenced by the spectrum of team orgs and workflows. I suspect one driver is the large power any developers yields on the outcome with the lack of sufficiently tangible and immediate feedback. This naturally leads to a less than objective self assessment of all players. Another is the desire and often accepted excuse that it is a creative process. There are significant professional incentives for doing something new where other approaches may have been more effective.

The forgotten story of America's first plastic toy robot
It can hurt in my experience.

I've been interviewed by Google for position once because they contact me on LinkedIn; I didn't think this site was actually useful before that. I had the classic code writing phone screening with a question I figured the answer but I had to reschedule it because of bad wireless connection (university library, home was not even my wifi). The next time my setting was better but the interview was harder and I failed it. After that I got kinda bad feeling over my skills, lack of luck, being not-smart-enough and the graduate work to do I didn't do in favor of interview preparation.

In the end it was not so bad because getting a job there would have mean not doing my international student exchange year and give up my second master degree, for which I worked even more.

Another time I applied for an internship at Microsoft, I got a programming question that was not in the book (unlike Google) but I managed to got a solution. I was thinking it was fine despite a silly right/left error but still get rejected at the skype screening step. I didn't really get accustomed by my first failed attempt at Google so I lived it like a confirmation of my lack of skills. I felt so bad about it I didn't program for a while after that (three weeks or maybe even one month).

I guess mental preparation is almost as important or even more than algorithmic one. Maybe be I'll try it again one day, not to stay on a fail.
I'm not sure what gives you the idea that I didn't "notice." Also falling back to some kind of vague term like "common sense" is basically you just saying you don't have a point to make and that'd you rather just stick with your opinions, instead of defending them in any meaningful form or critiquing mine. You then flat out admit that "you didn't need to provide any to make my point", which is really you just saying you can't make a point. Why bother to respond?

I clearly labeled what was my personal perspective, and then asked for any kind of credible, objective information.

You called what is far from a fact "indisputable", and then proceeded to label a subject like evolution as baloney.
By your definition no team is well-functioning all the time. There will always be a point where there is a deadlock. And if no one on the team has been empowered by the organization to break that deadlock then it will fall to some one who is not familiar with the problem and lacks context. This is fundamental to working on a team and it is why almost universally every team in any context has a "leader".

While it's true that for the most part a well functioning team will hash them out without a Tech Lead having to break a deadlock. It's also true that a deadlock is nearly inevitable at some time in the teams future.

The answer to that is, "get out of the metro". Cities are designed for singles and DINKs. There's a reason people talk about moving to the country, building a little house, starting a garden, etc... it's a better life for a family, and sustainable.
