I didn't see a statement, but their inclusion of the kubelet last year, and their ongoing involvement with Kubernetes is indicative that if fleet remains, it will be as a niche bootstrapping tool for higher order cluster management.
Granted, random game mechanics unrelated to the core Mario gameplay have been a staple of the franchise since before smartphones were invented.

At the least, there's no F2P Stamina meter for the core gameplay, which would be a very legit complaint.
Objectively speaking, I agree with you.

No, you should say "Hey ladies, there's an issue, let's huddle"

You are welcome to call them girls if they are children. It might also be appropriate outside of a professional context to address a group of women you are close with, but I can't ever see a reason to use the word girls in a professional setting to refer to female coworkers. It's belittling and disrespectful.
I have also heard that, but only from secondary sources. Here is a clip of Russell talking about the time he wrote the first lisp interpreter. He doesn't mention McCarthy being surprised, but he seems to imply that he, Russell, was quicker to grasp the idea of translating the functions McCarthy had been writing to machine code.

But the outcome of that depends largely on who's got the position they want.

If a contract has an illegal non-compete, it's easy for an employee to sign and then ignore it. After all, the employer would have to find the violation, sue them, and risk summary dismissal. The employee wins just by having everyone give up.

If a contract features unpaid overtime, though, the employee is working time and not getting paid. They can refuse the work, get fired, and then sue, or they can do the work and then sue for nonpayment. In either case, they need to win to come out ahead, which is a lengthy and uncertain process.

Ignoring unenforceable provisions is only easy for someone who doesn't need a court decision to get a good outcome.
> Ignoring what any particular toolset chooses to do, building software and package management can conceptually be separated.

I'm not sure they can, or at least not without creating a circular dependency. It is greatly advantageous for build steps to be first-class packages that can use the library ecosystem etc.

I dont understand the new Microsoft business model. I've stopped using office, Windows is now free(?), but most stuff is in the browser anyway. We used to pay a lot of money for SQL server but now there are lots of free open source alternatives.

Right, and that must be what's going on here, as opposed to all the Apple defenders who clearly are doing it on an entirely rational basis.

There's a subtle argument here philosophically that I think is crucially tied to AI: determinism.

If the world is deterministic, a sufficiently powered and advanced AI with enough data could actually predict the weather, not just for two weeks, but for years. This also enables many other things viewed as magic.

This, of course, is incredibly far off. And I don't see a flaw in your point on flawless security. Though, I doubt we have many, if any, truly flawless security systems in existence. We just don't know their flaws, making them good enough for now. The world could get really interesting once AI's start programming and writing app security to protect itself from malicious AI's.

Actually, what the responders above are saying is no, they wouldnt. You are saying that you would. A great many other people are telling you the norms you have internalized are quite different from the norms they internalized.

Verbal norms change over time, just as other forms of norms change. You don't have to modify your norms to keep up with how the rest of society views those norms, but where they impact legal decisions your personal choice to reject the change in external norms may have a significant cost to you at some point.

I was going to rag on this article for touting the the same non-specific garbage we've seen the past couple days like, "more mac users switching to surface than ever!" without any hard numbers, did is go from 20 to 25? But this article is actually pretty interesting.

It focuses on how Satya Nadella has respected the leaders of Companies he's bought out and invited them to key meetings. Using their insight not only for product and company direction, but importantly creating culture as well. Very key to Microsoft and any tech company's success.

I recall hearing many stories about how Microsoft had like 3 managers per programmer, probably exaggeration, but the point remains, who would want to work there if you skilled/lucky enough to choose? Looks like they may be changing in some good ways.
Boy, you're wrong.
An anonymous formal investigation absolutely should happen. The OP seems to arguing that you shouldn't even question someone who claims they are being harassed, and that is what I take exception with. Both people in the situation should be treated as innocent until there is proof otherwise.
I haven't upgraded to 10.12 yet, but this seems like a good time to remind people about coconutBattery [1].

I think part of the problem is that it's hard (or impossible) to tell how much someone is exaggerating on the internet. Sometimes the answer really is "toughen up" because what they're experiencing is really nothing. Other times, it really is a horrible situation and people should be fired for it.

> But can we truly say that these for-profit, mostly un-regulated telecom providers whose mandate is to make money for their shareholders, will put that money towards "wear to the roads" and "upgrading the road system"?

Yes, because of competition or the threat of competition. This works for CPU vendors and toll roads; why shouldn't it work for internet service (which is rather fungible)?

> How many homes in America don't have access to Broadband internet? IN 2016?

I don't know; what are you trying to tell me? Are you saying it's too little or everyone has broadband internet?

> We can't even really blame the telecom companies for this, either, as they do have a responsibility to their shareholders to make as much money as possible, but in a monopolized market, as ISPs are in most cities in America, the government has to step in at some point to protect the consumer's interests.

Assuming a monopoly:

a) Wouldn't antitrust law work if the ISP tried to prioritize their own pages (like their streaming video services)?

b) If people wanted net neutrality the ISP would offer such a plan. But then you might say the ISP will price that too high. But why didn't they price normal non-neutral internet service too high then? The threat of competition forces them to price plans reasonably.
In-app purchases are not inherently problematic, it's when they are used as a core mechanism to play the game that they become a problem. I have no problem with in-app purchases to make things easier, or let people skip levels when it's not a direct competition between players. That might even induce some developers to actually put some challenge into the game. The problem is when it's not just challenging, but nearly (or actually!) impossible without the in-app purchases. Then we're talking about a bait-and-switch, and that infuriates me as well.
Exactly - in this case 'in' is simply part of the (Latin) root 'inflammare'; not the (also Latin) modifier 'in-' as used in 'innocuous' (Latin 'in' + 'nocuus').
NO. NO NO NO.

the tech industry does NOT need a union.

what could hypothetically be argued is the need for the equivalent of the medical board, or bar, or cpa, cfa, engineering license, etc. and it would be a legitimate debate, but no clear cut answer exists.

you'll note that all of those bodies have ethics and competency standards and none of them are unions, meaning none of them negotiate contracts on behalf of their constituent members.

i DO NOT (DO _NOT_) want a union negotiating my business relationships for me, and exclude me from my own industry if i refuse to let them.

I'd agree with you, I think calling women 'girls' as a man sounds strange / has some diminutive aspect in the same way a woman calling men boys, 'boys will be boys' etc may have a dismissive, hierarchical nature to it with an added sexist overtone. Ladies would be more appropriate.

(Singly linked) lists are a functional data structure. You can manipulate them efficiently without modifying the lists you started with. You can't do that easily with arrays. So if you base your language around arrays, you're better off making it imperative.

Lisp predated level 1 caches. I think it's better to design hardware around the software that runs on it (the Burroughs mainframe/Lisp machine approach), than design programming languages around the machines which run them (the C approach). In this case, it means finding a way to make non-local data references more efficient.

Lisp's original reputation for slowness predated the use of Level 1 caches, and was because many early implementations ran on interpreters.

Agreed, just trying to apply the principle of kindness to their arguments.

What I want for a battery indicator is more a dual battery indicator/workload indicator. Aka, lets say some process goes nuts for 10 seconds, I'd want some sort of "hey this thing started up over here and is using energy like a fiend" alert. But if I were on power then I'd say only do that after 30 seconds or whatever. That and also keep historic power use and tie that into current use and times and it would seem like you could have some really stupid ML/linear regression to figure out: the user normally runs a compile every 4pm, and its 4pm and he's not on power so that means it'll likely use XMah which means based on the power available he's got about... N minutes of power remaining.

Still seems a stupidly annoying problem to solve with so many variables.

Isn't being able to directly speak your mind the whole point of "fuck you money"? Page, Bezos, Musk etc can hold critical views of Trump and still be cordial in a direct meeting. Frankly I hope they do - respect is earned not given.

You could also equally say that Trump might have similar feelings meeting with these people.
Girl is a diminutive. Guy is not. When you're familiar with someone it's probably fine to use girl with them. But when you aren't familiar, or are speaking about them to others in a professional sense, it's probably bad form.

Great comment from Mark stamp in the comments section.
I don't see how anyone could possible claim GAE or similar offerings from Google compete anywhere close to what Microsoft or Amazon is providing.

My take on it between Amazon and Microsoft: Microsoft has less functionality but with an easier UI. Amazon is light years ahead of anyone but their UI scheme (from naming things to where they position features and options) is pretty lack luster.
He was talking about macro assemblers, which often do provide naming and some level of type checking (and pure assembly is arguably at a lower level of abstraction than type systems, with separate instructions and registers for integers, pointers, floating-point etc).

I agree it's a somewhat odd comparison.

There are of course plenty of obvious and non-obvious ways to optimize linked lists, but even still they have poor performance characteristics, space efficiency and cache locality compared to alternative structures like arrays and even immutable arrays.

There's a reason Java, C#, Python etc store strings as immutable arrays; not only do they start from a generally better performance baseline than lists, but they too have well-understood optimization characteristics.
Sorry but that's not what I read in that article, to quote

" It's belittling and disrespectful."

Completely false.

'Lady' is the feminine of 'Gentlemen'.

I could, but would not usually say:

"Gentlemen, let's go out for lunch"

So I could, but would not likely say:

"Ladies, let's go out for lunch"

I would normally say:

"Guys, let's go out for lunch"

Or:

"Girls, let's go out for lunch"

'Girls' is fully appropriate in every one of those situations.

You are seeing sexism wherein there absolutely is none and this is a problem.
