(Of course, the rule for this button when you have is that you can only press it like once per month or some other arbitrary long time. Oh, and maybe having a physical button that actually sets off an alarm in the office could help too. Maximum annoyance to prevent abuse.)

10 Presentation Tips to Transform the Legacy of Business Meetings
Regarding the "is it plugged in?" question. A great anecdote I heard was that the support person on the phone asked if the power plug was clean. The user was confused. The support person told them to unplug it, blow the dust out of the holes, and plug it back in. This fixed the problem!

The issue was that the power plug was in the socket, but too loose to connect. Somehow, the support person figured this was the case (prior experience?) and knew that if he asked "is it plugged in?" he would get a "yes". Taking the power plug out and putting it back in ensured that it would be in properly. But just asking the person to do that can be faced with push-back or even a lie that they did it (since the power plug obviously was already connected).

I always chuckled at the story but did not think it was true. I worked tech support while attending university. One time, I had an on-site where the monitor just stopped working. We went through the standard question on the phone, including asking if it is plugged in, and of course it was. Could not get it fixed over the phone. Once on-site, it turned out it was a loose power cable.

I could have avoided an on-site had I only asked them to blow the dust out of the power cable. Maybe this should be added to the questionnaire.
Price does depend on the type of product though, and again: can be negotiated if you have certain amounts of volume.

But if it works for you, great!
It can work on concatenated files (if you avoid compression, which screws up everything) but it's usually more efficient to run bsdiff on individual matched pairs. The heuristic bsdiff uses for identifying "mostly-matching" regions is just that -- a heuristic -- and the larger the amount of data you have the higher the chance that bsdiff will try to build a mostly-matching region out of a coincidental sequence of matching bytes.

Not OP, but I'm pretty sure you care more about the semantics here.

The syntax is really just one way to express an intention. What you care about are the intensions--the meanings. That's exactly what the semantics are. For example, the semantics of this statement in Java

int foo = 1 / 0;

are very different from the semantics of this statement in JavaScript:

var foo = 1 / 0;

even though the two are syntactically rather similar.

(In the former, Java will throw an ArithmeticException, whereas in JavaScript it will return Infinity.)

So you want to ensure that your translation is meaning preserving, that is, that the source code and the generated code are semantically the same.

Okay, fixed now!
I had the same problem. Transitioning from having built the thing to asking people to pay for it felt quite awkward at first. I feel a lot less awkward about it now that I do have paying customers who are happy with it and use it daily. It feels great, when someone who isn't legally obliged to, pays you for something you built because it makes their work easier.

>> how do you find your customers? Especially the enterprise ones?

Haphazardly and slowly thus far:) A couple of enterprise customers actually found me, but my own reach into the enterprise world is not really substantial. Some of my customers are consultancies who work with banks and such so I started talking to a few of them about partnership. It's not something I can completely outsource, but partners could certainly help a lot. We'll see how it goes.

Building an audience is a good idea, although it's easier to do if you have something to show people, I think. I'm not a businessy person (maybe I become), I just enjoyed building it, so that's what I spent time on. That's not to say that I wasn't hoping to make a business out of it, I certainly was, from very early on:)

Because then to check the signature you'd have to decompress the app. Android runs on lots of hardware, much of which is not very powerful.

http://darkpatterns.org/british-airways-distract-from-cheape... - I'm pretty skeptical that this had any malicious intent. It is showing the cheapest option in the column. Often the customer will already know which class they want to fly in, so it helps them to be able to skim down a column looking for the cheapest option.

The answer for 80%+ of non-techy computer users is to... move them to a tablet.

Moving these people over to a tablet reduces Family IT Support to practically zero.
There are still a lot of minor conveniences, like lexical_cast, or uuid, or various helper algorithms (esp. for strings), that aren't subsumed, or at least not fully.

Also, one big deal is Asio. Which, granted, can be had separately from Boost... but Boost offers a convenient place to get it along with other minor stuff.

Then there's the question of how up-to-date the C++ implementation you're coding against is. A lot of stuff is nominally in the standard library, and if you use the latest and greatest, you might even have it out of the box... but for many people, they're still working on, at most, C++11 compilers, and so they need an outside source for stuff like filesystem.

As a first thought, it should be possible to.

a) With control of a domain's name servers you can set up working mail handling for a domain.

b) At least some HTTPS cert providers allow verification of domain ownership using email. eg click on a link in a mail they send to (say) postmaster@targetdomain.com

With those two in place, you can generate HTTPS certs for the domain. I'm not yet familiar with LetsEncrypt, but if they allow domain verification through email then this would even be a cost free exercise.
The idea that self-representations give rise to consciousness exists in neurophilosopy and it is closely related to the representational theory of consciousness and the higher-order monitoring theory:

I replaced ChartJS with Victory on a recent project for charting investment performance, and was generally very pleased with the experience.

The focus on composable components fits well with the React way of working, and enables easy customisation (which was one of the main reasons for moving away from ChartJS) - you can even directly add SVG elements inside your Victory chart components if you want custom graphical elements.

Another interesting result of the switch was that the rendering quality of the vector (SVG) charts rendered by Victory was a lot nicer than the raster (Canvas) ones rendered by ChartJS, and it particularly fared much better at rendering smooth interpolation curves for a chart with a fairly large amount of data which looked "bumpy" with ChartJS.

Overall I'd highly recommend giving Victory a go if you need charts which aren't too specialised but do require some customisation. It seems like some of the paid-for solutions such as Highcharts are probably still the best option if you require something more niche.
During the speech [1], Yann (surprisingly) didn't mention consciousness at all. The focus of this segment was the need to "imagine" the future. The premise is that "common sense" – Yann's big theme of the talk – is about "filling in the gaps" of incomplete information. We fill in the gaps by imagining the future.

So consciousness was not raised at this point. But that doesn't mean that it couldn't be an emergent property.

Considering the wide availability of beta OS updates, I'd say that's on the developers of said software.

Exactly. You have five chances at an event, and an event probability per chance, which is exactly what the binomial distribution is for.

The Poisson distribution is what you use when the effective number of chances is "large". The Poisson distribution is effectively a special case of the binomial distribution, where the number of chances is infinity, the probability per chance is infinitesimal, and the product of the two is the expected number of events.

Once my mother called that the tablet said it had a virus and should scan immediately. I asked what she saw on the screen, what she was doing when it occurred.

Next time I was around, I rooted their device and put an ad-blocker on it.

The problem with moving everything you do from a nice screen to a voice based gadget on your wrist is that the main source of interaction, the Internet, is broken.

If the Internet was made up of proper semantic tagging, and actual useful, machine parsable information, then yeah, sure, make a 'watch' that can answer your spoken queries with meaningful information. Unfortunately, the Internet is so far gone as far as easy information retrieval is concerned, that even the most simplest of queries needs significant backend development of APIs and data re-formatting.

Even if it were doable on a large-data scale your conversations with your watch would go like this:

User: Watch, When is the Guns'N'Roses concert on in London?

but first here is an advert!

> [Liberland...] might one day become the Libertarian utopia for disaffected white men.

I'm a supporter of the libertarian movement and I have never come across anyone or anything that equates libertarianism with oppression. Just the opposite, actually. It's about, as the name implies, individual liberty.

So what on earth is it about Liberland that has to do with being a heaven for 'disaffected white men' and an implied oppression of women? I admit I skimmed through some sections, but I could not find any substantiation. I did find: "Monika Chlumská, Liberland’s Foreign Minister, also serves as its secretary and general coordinator."

I could not tell you what on earth is it that is going on with the themes in this article. It focuses heavy emphasis on a negatively-connotated theme of white males without any substantiation.

Maybe EPSON does not know how to update their printer's firmware.

Maybe google noticed a botnet of EPSON printer trying to knock them down. Or a poorly setup of uPnP/network that helps penetrate (THEIR) networks...

Maybe they just shut down the printers because nothing else can be done to suppress the threat.

Maybe they don't publicized it because :

1) this is called illegal penetration of someone else system (hacking...) and is a penal offense in many countries

2) it would give IoT a bad name (Google's kind of prospective beneficial market)

3) it would be illegal for them/very costly to give the information (libel, NDA...)

4) there is NO solutions...

This is pure speculation, because since I don't think google throw their printer in the trash, no one can go to their office and check if they are actually throwing away some EPSON printers.
