This is what I like about kanban, there is a queue, priority is not a status.
Nice. I hadn't seen the US ones before. The French series, "En L'An 2000", is well-known, and Wikimedia Commons has most of those cards at high resolution.

Indeed, major kudos to Stefan Hajnoczi, who organised it alone and did a stellar job in 2014!
This is inevitably what happens when the people reporting the issues get to decide their priority (I've seen this even in a two-person dynamic). You have to have discipline, and you usually have to have an impartial outsider (to the issue at hand) who doesn't care about other people's panic to actually set priority levels.

Internet Freedom at Stake in Supreme Court of Canada Case
People don't always carry their phones with them (if they're in athletic or formal wear that doesn't have convenient pockets). In those cases, they'll settle for whatever reduced internet-connected experience they can get, even if the ergonomics don't really make the full phone experience available.

Just like how yes, if you have your laptop on you, you'd almost always prefer to use that over your phone, but your phone can be with you in many more scenarios.
We're hoping, too -- there's some more ground to cover, let's see how it turns out. :-)
I must say, while swift can be very readable, just reading through this article put me off of the language. If you don't work with objective-c or uikit/cocoa, is there a reason to use this over another llvm-based language with cleaner, simpler semantics? The two bugs outlined are terrifying.
&+ isn't quite the same as + in C though. It's defined to perform wrapping overflow everytime, so more like integer + in Java. I don't think there's an addition operator in Swift that means "not only don't do overflow checking, but also consider overflow impossible and optimize accordingly".

Not entirely clear that such an operator is ever what you really want, I suppose...
Wrong. If the page is long I want to scroll up not go to the top. I don't know where the top is so I'll scroll scroll scroll refresh !;$@&!?$&!
Perhaps we could develop an algorithm that uses the number of citations from other papers to rank the importance of each paper, a "PageRank" if you will.

Not really. Because you can host a static page on a different infrastructure to your main service.
I suppose I was hoping for a bit more detail than that - are there any key areas where those improvements happened?
I understand your mindset, but sometimes a little bit of planning upfront can save so much time in refactoring. I'm not sure code is analogous to writing save for maybe a choose your own ending type novel. An Essay is essentially a sequential flow of ideas where as a program is more like a tree. Perhaps what you are referring to is rapidly developing the nodes(classes) of that tree without concerning yourself to much with the connective branches between classes. If that's the case then I can see the benefit.
Montreal is sort-of partially-roofed by the ground. Designed to allow travel between shops, and perhaps home & work even in the event of heavy snowfall I believe.

I have a difficult time imagining the apple watch becoming a hit product until it can shine a holographic images like R2D2 in Star Wars could. Even then I have my doubts.

Every article predicting hard times for Apple, Microsoft, Google, or Facebook has the same flaw: not considering how many decades of runway these companies have if their business hits a rough patch.

The thing I am most excited about is integration of all a user's devices, and Apple has a good start on that.

Apple could end up adding iCar and iHome to their product line.
Now you have an inconsistent ux which is also frustrating and a frustrating confirm question that keeps appearing
> I'm guessing from your argument that you do not.

Frankly I don't think anyone should. It's mental gymnastics to be able to say you aren't using dirty energy when you really are.

Let me illustrate with an example of why you can't get by with 'offsets'.

Let's say Arizona is running on 80 GW natural gas and 20 GW solar. Google wants to build in Virginia, which relies heavily on coal.

So they bring online a 2 GW datacenter in Virginia which is powered by a 2 GW increase in coal burning. They "offset" it by building 2 GW of solar in Arizona, which scales back natural gas by 2 GW.

The result of their 'clean offset' has been the conversion of 2 GW natural gas to 2 GW of coal, which is significantly worse for the environment.
In software it's often because the can afford expensive lunches with the people buying their software. The buyers are several steps away from the users of the software.
With an unlimited budget, something like Prima Cinema would make sense:

http://www.primacinema.com/what-is-prima-cinema/

TL;DR it's a system that delivers first-run movies to your home on(ish) the theatrical release date. Pricing isn't given on the site, but other articles covering the system have quoted around $35k for the hardware & $50/viewing for movies.

For piping 4K everything everywhere, you'd probably wind up with equipment mostly intended for commercial broadcasting. Many of those devices also have support for control over either RS-422 serial or Ethernet, so there's plenty of integration & remote control possibilities.

I think the R2D2 hologram is cool but the problem is, it will probably come from another type of device. It could be a autonomous nano-drones, it could be in the form of an augmented reality device, etc.
I feel like a distro with lots of extra things installed from the start is the opposite of a distro for programmers, as is baking in some off-brand voice tool. The perfect distro for me would be an OSX (not MacOS) clone running on a debian backend without the walled garden that is Apple.
I've paid for products that were literally just a form and someone doing shit manually.

Wouldn't you need to follow the syntax and not the semantics? Aren't the semantics what the syntax is abstracting? (I'm genuinely curious, not trying to flame.)

Heh. Rim's BlackBerry was nowhere as good as the iPhone is today (yes I know physical keyboards are the best; nevertheless), and they lasted for what, two decades after their product was clearly not as good as all the competition. Apple is doing way better at this point. Yes I think they dropped the ball on iPhone 7: it introduced very little new stuff, and this is their innovation year. But they are not screwing up, just innovating very slowly. I am not happy with the 7, but my feelings aside, it won't kill the brand.
>I think I'd need to see some evidence that that is a more effective strategy than starting small.

"To begin with, GNU will be a kernel plus all the utilities needed to
write and run C programs: editor, shell, C compiler, linker,
assembler, and a few other things. After this we will add a text
formatter, a YACC, an Empire game, a spreadsheet, and hundreds of
other things. We hope to supply, eventually, everything useful that
normally comes with a Unix system, and anything else useful, including
on-line and hardcopy documentation."

Looks like he did all that. (Mostly in the form of Emacs). Anyway it's hard to get more ambitious than a list like that. Other early announcements of effective projects were the same - very large vision.

I'm not sure if you have used Google Apps before, but from memory it has DNS and website verification, so I can only assume it'd be vulnerable to this sort of attack.

My trick has always been to solve one of my own problems, and be my own first customer. Then I know it works, and meets the goals of the audience. I figure that if I need the problem solved, so do other people, but even if nobody else ever shows up, I got my own value from it.
Despite the name, I'm sure you're aware that the QEMU Advent Calendar is secular. (I realize you've mentioned it in a sort of tongue-in-cheek manner.)
I worked at a logistics company once where Excel was one of the main programs in use. It's used to pass around data, e.g., lists of shipments. The shipment programs and business intelligence programs give you Excel files when you press export. People then filter out the unneeded information, maybe highlight stuff, maybe make a PivotTable, add extra information from other Excel files or other sources, and submit it as a report.
If you want to automate this, and you (the dev) cannot access the servers with the raw data either, you would normally write tedious VBA code. With SQL, it may get a bit more comfortable. (You can use SQL to query Excel sheets in VBA, but the boilerplate code for that is tedious too.)
I'm not sure if my previous company would be a great fit, because the automated reports are usually run by the users themselves. Per-seat licenses would be very expensive.
Yes, really. I specifically talked about GitHub pages:

> Static pages can be hosted for free with GitHub pages, but these can only contain client-side code.

And your other point:

> you can host a static page on a different infrastructure to your main service

Well, yes. That the point. That's also why the title here says dynamic and server-side.
I'm not convinced that what you write is the case. There are lots of small projects that are never shipped. But as a percentage, is it higher or lower than the percentage of over-engineered pieces of perfection do not have any part of it ever shipped?

This is precisely the problem. PM refuses to believe engineering when we say "You can have feature F on date D" rather than on date D-21 when PM thinks they 'must' have it. ("must" in this case is also not backed up with data, but random desires of potential customers that come up in sales presentations...)
Why this front-end dev won’t tell you where to start
I appreciate the quote from Epictetus, a key philosopher of stoicism: "Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control."

Since you cannot control the reactions of other people, it's not worth your time to worry about them. If you can succeed at the things you can control ("Am I making consistent progress on the product?"), then you've succeeded, regardless of the reactions of other people.
I agree "Ship it" part.
My previous side projects is always by this styles: "good idea" (1 week) => develop it (2 week) => "not satisfaction" （several days） => abandon => next idea ....
The passion always dispears after one month, so in one month, need ship it.
BTW, the Show HN is really really good channel for every early shipping.
I believe that misses the point entirely. Forgetting the fact that I never even saw a mainframe until the late 90s, back in the PC day you were still using the same keyboard + monitor for both.

I really don't see a problem with it. Apple's default UI is not great, and it can be highly confusing if the user doesn't know why the app is suddenly asking for access to their location or photos or whatever. By explaining and asking first, you smooth that over. There's no deception or trickery, it's just a matter of not surprising users.

(And to be clear, I've never built one of these extra permission prompts, so I'm saying this purely from the perspective of a user.)
Same here. I use a trello board and discipline myself to complete at least one task a day. No matter how small. This usually leads to me getting in the zone and completing a bunch of other tasks. If not, its ok. There's tomorrow.

If you trust on boot, and someone forces a reboot, then that is a huge alert that something has changed.
I see what you're saying, but to me trying to phrase it in that way seems more like mental gymnastics than actual double entry accounting in watts.

Would it help if the renewable source had to be connected to the same grid-tie (there are 4 I think in the US) ? Then you're putting renewable energy into the same grid you are pulling it out of.

What if your solar plant in Arizona use the Fischer–Tropsch to make fuel, then you drove it in a tanker across the country and poured it into generators in Virginia?

The way I see it is that watts are watts (just like dollars are dollars) so if the total watts you burn are offset by renewable watts you have put in, then you are ahead. If everyone does that then by definition the entire grid is running on renewable energy.
This sounds like a place programmers go to die.
Why is it the PMs business if you refactor the code or not?

Where it's appropriate, pull-to-refresh isn't unrelated functionality.

In a reverse chronological listing, 'new' stuff is always at the top. Pull-to-refresh refreshes the listing, grabbing whatever could be placed 'above' the page, when you scroll past the top of what's currently loaded. it's just the other end of 'infinite scrolling'.

Triggering `location.reload()` when you scroll past the top is a bad idea -- about as appropriate as triggering `location = nextPage`, when you get to the bottom. But most pull-to-refreshes don't do that.
Far from it the median company on the stock-market has positive returns just about every way you slice it. That's not beating the market, but the median VC firm does not just fail to keep up with the stock market, they also flat out lose money.
The device could be something like a modified USB condom, but with more processing power. It would have to have all drivers locked unless a sensor verified that nothing was plugged into the suspicious end, and use a fundamentally limited set of drivers. On connection, it looks for any filesystems on the suspicious device, mounts them, and offers them up by proxy as filesystems to the host machine. Nice idea.

You would fire them, instead of trying to build up their skills? I'm not even sure who you would fire in this situation, the IT director for not shepherding the ticket all the way through, or Shirley for closely following company policy? Either would be overreacting.

Slow/inflexible company policy has been built up, presumably under the IT Director's watch. The president didn't communicate that it was extremely urgent (and maybe it wasn't - the article doesn't say when the change actually needed to be made by to make a difference). Ideally, management can recognize that this change took a week because of their accumulated decisions, and lack of urgency. They should figure out exactly how their company policy is slowing them down instead of letting heads roll.
Thank you for compiling this set of OS images. Being always on the lookout for obscure and non-mainstream OS I was pleased to find a few more and possibly even more in the days to come.

It was always fun to see MnuetOS run a very usable GUI with comprehensive programs all from a single floppy drive back in the days.

For me the above routine has now been replicated by booting macOS, starting VirtualBox Ubuntu VM and installing QEMU inside the VM just to see it boot MenuetOS even faster than bare metal boot ever did.
Obviously you need to "unsubscribe all" on the first mail before taking such an action on subsequent mails.
The moving sidewalk shown, with parallel sections at different speeds, follows the design from the Paris Exhibition of 1900.[1] It seems to have worked well there, but nothing like it was ever built again. That moving sidewalk is not a belt; it's an endless train of flatcars with turntables between them.

It's disappointing that someone hasn't built a glass-roofed city by now. Google was getting close in 2015, with their glass-roofed campus plan, but the city of Mountain View decided not to let them build it. Google admitted that the roof technology wasn't proven yet.

> “Ghoti,” as wordsmiths have noted, could be pronounced “fish”: gh as in “cough”, o as in “women” and ti as in “motion”.

Pet issue: 'ghoti' can never be pronounced 'fish' using English rules, because 'g(h)' is never 'f' at the start of a word; only with the preceding vowels does it sound like this, and even then only as an exception to another rule.
Indeed. This is the actual problem that needs solving.
Dispensing with Bridge and ferry seems like a step (no pun intended) backwards.
For what it's worth, marketplace sellers don't have access to your email address, Amazon relays email messages through their servers.

I am a seller on Amazon. I didn't think I have access to email addresses but you got me curious. I just went into an order and clicked "contact buyer." It gives a contact form that has the receivers address as something like dq22t5nz9n27qma@marketplace.amazon.com with a note "IMPORTANT NOTICE: When you submit this form, Amazon will replace your email address with one provided by Amazon in order to protect your identity, and forward the message on your behalf. Amazon will retain copies of all e-mails sent and received using this service, including the message you submit below, and may review these messages as necessary to resolve disputes. By using this service, you consent to this action."

Personally, I don't contact my buyers at all ever unless its a reply to a question they asked me.

On the email front, I've been getting bizarre emails from Trulia about 1-2 times a month for the last six months. I don't open them but the subject is "1 new rental available in $(my town)." I own a house and I don't remember giving Trulia my email address ever even when I was apartment hunting many years ago. This only started six months ago. I wonder how I got on that list?
