There's also the scenario where a previously-purchased game becomes ad-filled.

One example: I purchased Rovio's Bad Piggies outright for a couple bucks way back when when there was the ad-supported version and the fully unlocked ad-free purchased alternative. Sure, my current version has all the features I originally paid for, but the experience has gone to shit.

The purchased version was a complete and ad-free game at the time. Now my version of it is filled with ads for their other games and "consumable" IAP options at damn near every pause screen, every menu and the loading screens because they made the game "free", which essentially downgraded my experience back to the free-to-play version they started with. I didn't lose any game mechanics, but I lost the ad-free experience I paid for.
Even with a totally deterministic model, you can't predict weather very far out because it's chaotic. In other words, you'd need to measure the parameters with arbitrarily high accuracy, which even an advanced AI can't do. To oversimplify, if you need one more bit of accuracy in the measurements for each hour you forecast, it's impossible to get enough accuracy to forecast a week out.

For a detailed discussion of chaos and weather prediction, see: http://www.ecmwf.int/sites/default/files/Chaos%20and%20weath...
The "trick" for dealing with chaos is to do a bunch of predictions with perturbed values. If they all end up the same, then the forecast is probably okay. If they vary widely, then you know not to assign much accuracy to the forecast.
> in the US we only hit parity in the number of medical and law degrees circa 2005; we won't see parity in the number of doctors and lawyers for decades more

It is a flawed assumption that "parity in degrees" has any meaning as a measure of some vaguely-defined "equality" value.
>What does "consumer focused" even mean in the cloud space?

Nothing. It's their general company culture. They don't tend to actually create good API's/tooling in my experience. It always seems like an after thought. From google maps to their cloud offerings.

>If you're working with a Microsoft stack then of course Azure will come out ahead. I'm coming from a generic Linux background.

I work with Linux and Microsoft stacks on a daily basis, but certainly that could just mean I've chosen tools that explicitly won't conflict with each other. However, I'm still interested to hear what tools don't work with Azure (with the assumption that there is some quality about Azure that prevents/disincentives that tool from doing so).
I love looking at these old To-Do lists. I personally think Edison was a thief and jerkoff BUT I gotta give credit where credit is due for his marketing/business genius. I really really want to see a to-do list from Nikola Tesla. Really almost ANYTHING from him would be awesome.
thanks for the link, it was a nice read. i still have a problem with this:

> Saying "target all harassment" is dismissing the very problems that the phrase is trying to draw attention to

the problem is harassment. not just women harassment, not just racial harassment. isn't it just as dismissive to say "focus on these kinds of harassment, everybody else will just have to wait because they can consider themselves lucky enough to even be white males"?

they key bit is "targeting harassment properly". of course dismissing is not proper handling.
And this is a great example of derailing a conversation by attacking the specific language used.

This tactic is used to great effect by SJW's. I only need look down the thread to see how much you caused.

Many a times, this type of harassment is mainly what women claim against men. But what exactly is harassment? Well, there's no real good definition. There's a point where any sane individual would agree... But I've also met people that simply asking to go on a date was "harassment". I've also seen cases of obvious sexual harassment (me, when I was sexually harassed by a manager, and then they were subsequently fired). And then I've also witnessed claims of it that one party blew out of proportion.

Except, because someone says " girls", you jump all over that and derail the underlying ideas of harassment and how to develop ideas of what it actually is, and not gut feelings.
That's grey on a white background. This is what it would look like if it was black (I removed the "color: rgba(0,0,0,75)" tag via chrome's inspector): http://i.imgur.com/v491foi.png

It looks like your rendering (resolution, dpi, hinting? no idea) mitigates the effects of the reduced contrast in a way that mine do not. I'm guessing that's true on their developers' systems as well.

Apart from the particular technical knowledge an older guy may have, the accumulated human experience (this is, how to interact, trust, judge, understand, influence and work with other human beings) is always a very valuable factor that they may possess, for while technology changes very fast, basic human nature remains the same.

Ever notice how everyone only ever cites "Strawman" on the internet?

Its because thats the only logical fallacy they can remember because it so often reinforces their own arguments in their own heads by not adding information. Every idiot who never studied logic will cry "STRAWMAN!"
You are correct.

Some of them are even swapping tapes daily blissfully unaware that the backup software failed 9 months ago and is just dumping an error in the event log, the UPS batteries are bulging about to burst, a squirrel has been working on nibbling the glass out of their fiber connection between two buildings and there is water dribbling into the main switch rack that caused a fire that is going to engulf the entire building.

I've seen all these and it scares the shit out of me and should do with everyone.

Hence why people must build a DR strategy, run scenarios, regularly test it. We're categorically just talking about one of the risk vectors here which is a pretty soft one but as destructive to a business as a large fire.

Yes, but it's going to continue to go down. According to Wikipedia [1]

EROI Fuel

35.0	Oil imports 1990
18.0	Oil imports 2005

6.8 Photovoltaic (wikipedia)
14.4 Photovoltaic [2] (from recent analysis of post-2008 data)

The trend lines are clear and stark. The technologies for photovoltaic, wind turbines, and for fossil fuel extraction are all changing. It's certainly not the case that fossil fuels will disappear, but over the coming decades the sector will shrink dramatically due to market forces; investments will plummet.

And once you start looking at the slow and steady pace of improvement in storage technologies, it looks highly possible that around 2025-2030, only specialized energy applications ever make new investments in fossil fuel based technologies. And that's without accounting for the negative externalities that fossil fuel users (all of us) make everybody else subsidize. Existing infrastructure will continue as long as its economical, of course, but there's most definitely a huge turning point around the corner in energy technology.

It's been a while since I last used Azure, but here are some of the bigger problems I remember:

1. No managed option for MySQL or Postgres hosting.

2. Hard to find resources in the panel and lots of confusion on security practices.

3. Instances randomly dying at an astonishing rate.

You're right that "terrible" is hyperbole. I'm sure there are people who are happy with Azure, especially if they're using a Microsoft stack.

Your translation of "terrible" is how I feel about GCP: it's fine, but it takes me longer to do things because I'm familiar with AWS. Compared to Azure, where I would spend hours on trying to do something and still couldn't find a way to do it.
Yes I discounted everything you have said because you skimmed philosophy.

On the contrary, every philosophers skims all the time, because there are tons of publications and it is impossible to carefully work through all of them. But you have to at least take a glance to check whether you should work through them carefully. There is simply no way around that, it's the reality of our work.

a dense article from one of the up and coming giants in contemporary philosophy.

ROTFL. You've got be kidding me... You know what I was told when I started studying philosophy? If you want to become a famous philosopher, you should write as vague and ominous as possible. People seem to like that, even if makes no sense. Spot on.

You just slammed 90% of your contemporaries.

Sure, but they do the same. All of them. That's my point. I have not met a single philosopher in my life who didn't mourn about the horrible, horrible trash that they have to read, and I've met quite a few.

Not only that, it's a very old tradition among philosophers to hold their discipline in disregard, a tradition that started with Socrates and certainly hasn't ended with Wittgenstein. Nearly every famous philosophy has slammed his discipline, and I'd bet that the less famous did, too, they are just no longer known so it's harder to verify in the library.

How can you "promote" philosophy in college without being aware of that? And why would you promote philosophy at all? Nobody should come to philosophy without a burning interest in particular philosophical questions, anyone else drops out of the study program anyway.
The word you're looking for is 'gals' but people stopped using it for some reason.
I can 'efficiently modify the lists you started with' with a dynamic multi-type array and I have cache locality and random access. I have a single data structure with an 8 byte overhead, 2 byte overhead per node that can be used as a tuple array with direct lookup, a single linked list, double linked list, a queue, a stack, and a balanced binary search tree. This whole structure is allocated in a single contiguous memory chunk and is cache friendly. It can be serialized and un-serialized without any processing which would be required by a Lisp style linked list even if the list was just moved in memory, saved/restored to/from disk or transmitted to another computer.

Lisp DOES predate level 1 cache but we DO have level 1 cache now and it dwarfs all other optimizations on modern computers. Wouldn't it be nice if the hardware was designed to optimize our languages instead of the other way around but I live in this universe rather than an alternate one.

What matters is now, not decades ago.

> Windows is now free(?)

To answer your question: Windows is only free on small-screen devices [1]. Windows 10 is a paid-for OS, but it was offered as a free upgrade to people who had paid for Windows 7 & 8.

Windows 10 includes free upgrades for the life of the device [2]. This is the industry-standard procedure. If you buy an Android or iOS device, you also get free OS upgrades for the life of the device.

[1] Microsoft was pretty much the only company that used Windows on smartphones -- at least in volume -- so it decided to stop charging itself.

[2] Windows 10 gets regular feature upgrades. There is no Windows 11, so there will never be a case for charging for a Windows 11 upgrade.
I'm completely screwed then.

FWIW last I checked Chromium took way more time and RAM to build for the first time from source. This was many years ago.
I know my gas mileage is dominated by flooring it down on ramps, but my mileage is still affected by a lot of other factors. I track basically everything I do with my car, along with mileage, and small things make a surprising difference. I can detect a change in my fuel consumption based on what tires I have on my car, how old my oil is, whether my roof rack is on my car, and whether I have my bike mount on my rack.

Those effects are noticeable on my normal commute, where I travel 8 miles and spend most of the time going less than 30 mph, where aerodynamics doesn't matter that much. When I take a road trip (and thus don't have to perform any suicide merges), the difference any of these things makes is quite substantial. My summer tires are each about an inch wider than the tires I have mounted on my old rims, and switching to the narrower tires makes more of a difference in mileage than taking off the roof rack. With the narrow tires and no roof rack, I can get about 36 miles per gallon at 55 mph, and with my winter tires and my roof rack on my car I can't even approach 30 MPG.

For a tech-related example: I prefer to use my phone with the backlight turned all the way up, even though it uses an additional 15% of every full charge, but I uninstalled the Facebook app because it used 3% of every battery just running in the background.

I'm just trying to be efficient in my own way, I'm not competing on efficiency.
Tried doing some of that with High School kids -- I have to admit, at the beginning it was very difficult for them to wrap their head around the basic concepts in functional programming. The other issue was that the few syntactical rules and prefix notation, while great in the long term, required the kids to do a bit more of mental gymnastics for even basic things at the beginning, so that didn't help either.

But man after the initial hump, I was convinced that this is the route to go through in order to introduce someone to programming with very solid first principles.
Very interesting, thanks. I was thinking of logic as the foundation, but now I realize that I was actually thinking of a combination of logic and science.
Agreed, that seems obvious.

Boring old paper with a carbon copy trail seems to be a lot safer.
It's not entirely gone but it's dying. I'm still in a private office. Lots of devs on my team are doubled up, though. Many teams have already moved to open spaces.

Demographics are a factor. Lots of devs, especially younger devs, and especially devs who've worked at other younger companies are asking for open floor plans. Not all of them, but a sizable chunk. That plus reduced cost for providing office space to devs is pushing the company in the direction of open office spaces. I haven't seen a building get significantly renovated and not end up with open spaces.

Automattic's 2016 Year in Review
There are plenty of examples of OK usage, like calling your daughters 'the girls' or your buddies 'the guys'. but calling a grown woman a girl if you're in a position of power (as a man you may always be perceived as such) can be problematic. In your case, since addressing someone you don't like as a girl (julie horvath) comes off in more a negative light than say your sympathetic tone toward the article's subject ('poor girl'). A female director calling a mother 'girl' could be offensive, but calling her 20 something single female co-workers is more acceptable. A man using the term to refer to a woman who is of considerable age a girl enforces a parent-child authority complex. Not good. However a man calling another man son because of seniority or age is acceptable in most regions that I know of, though not all.

Here are a few other examples:

Being addressed as a boy or a girl by a police officer is really disrespectful.
'Boys will be boys' is really a diminutive phrase when referring to men.
'Boys and their toys' when referring to men purchasing items they like is also dismissive.

Perhaps where you are it is not offensive to list it the way I have, but note that it is not the same everywhere and it's glaring enough that it warranted many people posting it.
If you can't see the business model, you're it.
A more plausible explanation is that there is a cultural difference. Things must be taken in context, and every culture has words or thoughts that seem demeaning to another culture, but they were not intended to be. As an example, compare the use of the N word between a group of black people and a non-black group of people.
Federal law only covers people over 40, and it only covers favoring younger people over older people. Favoring older people is legal.

State laws may vary, check your local jurisdiction to see if they add more.
Yes, everything is a string. But you can pass data around anywhere you like without worrying about coercing. A command will receive its data in string representation and treat it however it likes. So when you go to do math with the 'expr' command, 'expr' will treat its arguments as numbers.

set x 5
expr { $x + 3 }

'expr' receives x as the string 5 but knows to treat it as an int.

I'm not sure that's a great explanation. Maybe a decent summary of the concept of 'no types' is "the language does not presume to tell you how you can or cannot use your data."
It's not so much ugly as it is unusable, there's just way too much whitespace.
It's a common misunderstanding that curing aging can be a pill. Aging is a quite loaded word. It means at least, curing cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, cell loss, hardening, muscle loss, vision loss... So what an aging cure really looks like is lots and lots of cures because there's lots and lots of causes. The easy way to categorize what needs fixed is: Cells: too many, too few. Junk: inside and outside cells. Mutations: nuclear and mitochondrial. Finally crosslinking.
Bezos said very negative things about Trump, and I think it is fair to say they were opponents during the election campaign.[1] Even Clinton is a Trump constituent now, but they were (and may still be) political opponents.

It's not about being scared - it's about not infantilising others. Sure some people (male and female) might not mind 'girl' - but other do and a growing number of people are aware of that. Thinking of others isn't about being scared of offending people, it's about being thoughtful.
Ebay offered escrow services for years prior to purchasing and integrating PayPal. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was trying to figure out if you were doing the old "if only <such and such> existed" when it actually does/did exist.
Correct. At least at the federal level.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) only forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states do have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination.

If your state or local jurisdiction doesn't protect young(er) workers against discrimination and only the federal law applies, then an employer can discriminate against the young but not the old.

The problem is that the modern web is complicated. You have a lot of features like svg which don't get used pervasively but are enough for it to impact experience.

As for Servo crashing, we don't really prioritize crash fixes since it's not a product at the moment. But please do file bugs for it if you think it's not a known crash.
