> My favorite games are the ones that embody some sense of freedom, and I just don't get that here (at least not from the first 3 levels). I completely understand Nintendo's decision to go with the single-finger jump-only game mechanic for a touchscreen device (I've never been a fan of virtual D-pads). But unfortunately, that decision has transformed Mario from a game about discovery and freedom into a game where you're - quite literally - not allowed to stop and take a second look at something.

> no, I'm not really motivated to repeat levels for coins - but I would be inclined to explore new paths through the game if I weren't always forced to be on the run).

These two statements are almost completely incompatible. Discovery and exploration in Super Mario Run is all about finding where the coins are hidden, discovering the path through the level that gets them, and mastering the mechanics in order to actually reach them. Making it to the flagpoles is only the first stage of the game, the heart of the game is about mastering the mechanics and levels in order to reach the pink, purple, and black challenge coins.

> we only care about what's immediately at hand in our myopic view of the world because, let's face it, this is 2016 and we're too lazy to flip our phones around to landscape mode, let alone to confront the harrowing idea of plotting our own course through life.

I think the myopic view on display here is coming into it with a preconceived notion of what you want it to be, failing to experience what it actually is and judge it on its own merits and how well it achieves what it set out to do, instead judging it based on what you decided you wanted it to be.
Pyret draws from traditional algebra notation, Python, and OCaml/Haskell. If you do not know any of these, you must be a pretty weak programmer. If you do most of these, you ought to be able to recognize almost every part of it. Anyway, the good news is that programming beginners — who don't know any languages — have no real trouble with it, so any difficulties may say more about the reader's blind-spots than about the language itself.
Wouldn't Apple's hiring policy likely mean that she was given the job on the basis of her race and gender? They have to be doing that in order to achieve the diversity numbers they're so happy to publish each year.
But CSS styling pretty much is a polite suggestion. The browser's job is to retrieve and display content according to the user's needs and preferences. If the designer and the user disagree about whether an unvisited link should be underlined and blue, the user wins. If the designer and the user disagree about whether a page should contain images, the user wins.
No, it's not.

I was asking questions and stating a few thing I made as mistakes - HR as someone to turn to -.
There are no labor unions any more; those are the ones that would actually care about your wellbeing.

Actually labor unions tend to protect people accused of sexual harassment.

In fact they seem to be legally obligated to advocate for all union members, which would include the people doing harassing.
> However, WiMAX seems to have failed in the US, with Clearwire shutting down in March...

I played the WiMAX game in the US as a consumer. If you didn't have clear line of site with the tower, you got terrible speeds if you still had a connection.

Driving + WiMAX was a no go unless it was through an empty field (never got to try this one). Using WiMAX near a window and getting up for some coffee was a no go. Hell, being outside that pane of glass made a huge difference.

It was really bad for mobile.

> You can roll out fast broadband to large areas just by building a few towers to broadcast WiMAX.

I can see this working if customers had outdoor antennas installed.
But in the US the average consumer doesn't have a meaningful choice between road companies: http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/09/most-of-the-us-has-n...
> Most of the time I don't even have to pull my phone from my pocket to do a "Hey Siri". Apple seems to have done a pretty decent job with the voice recognition and hotword detection (I think that's the right term).

My experience is that “hey siri” works well if you're somewhere quiet but it's really prone to false-positives, even for things which sound nothing like th at. Most of the other iPhone users I know have commented about disabling that after Siri kept activating in meetings, which is the same reason I turned it off after a couple days, and then hoping that the next hardware release would do a better job. Maybe the 7S…

Amazon appears to have done a much better job - their users talk admit how good it is rather than joking about how it's faster to get there phone out of your pocket than retry your Siri query multiple times.
No, it's not. It's a Trump/Pence regurgitation outlet.
I'm astonished this is as high as it is.

> did she try to talk to her harassers directly before going to a manager?

There are a huge number of reasons why you should not be expected to do this. The harasser can be in a position of authority, for example. Even separately to that (and i understand this is a reducio argument, but..) would you ask an abuse victim to speak to their abuser? No, they go straight to the police.

> HR is not your friend; it's one of the stakeholders' defense lines.

This is a problem that needs fixing, rather than a status quo that needs defending.

> When you have weeks, months, in some cases, I think it is all right to expect decisions from anyone.

I report an assault. Do I suggest to the police how they should investigate and prosecute this assault? No. The victim reports the behaviour, but other parties should determine how to investigate and proceed with that report.

> This is embarrassing - but there are people out there who lie. Especially these days, with the problems of fake news, it's easy to get suspicious.

Sometimes, yes, people do lie, but each complaint of any nature should be treated confidentially so reports of abuses like this can be made without fear of repercussion.

In the (very unlikely) event of the victim being untruthful, the matter should be dropped, not blow back on the reporter -- or nobody will report real problems for fear of being unfairly punished themselves.

> s/women/people

This didn't need to be said. The author is talking about her experiences of harassment as a woman in technology. Yes, there are other problems that also need solving. This isn't the hill on which to make this point.

Isn't a logical extension of having a company be responsible to shareholders, that it shall optimize for no lawsuits, as they're very pricy and damage the brand more than a blog post?
What special training do engineers working on mission-critical software receive?
There's also the political issues to consider. You'd have to really, really trust the other countries you're relying on for the supply of electricity not to do something to mess with your economy. I could imagine it working politically in an area like the EU[1] or between the US and Canada, but across Asia or the Middle East there's likely to be too little trust.

Why do you assume they'll have no UI? The displays are optional, not disallowed.

For what we do at my workplace this is a godsend. We design installations for retail environments that need to have very rich interfaces. For us it's not MCU vs Android, it's embedded PC vs Android hardware.

We were already doing similar things with stock Android except we had to use custom boards interfacing over USB to do anything involving sensors to stay somewhat free from specific hardware.

We were running into limitations in Android that centered around the fact that it is targeting consumer devices first and foremost. Android 6 brought COSU mode, but it still showed signs of the steady march towards a more locked down Android.

Besides the pro of supporting our usecase in a first class manner, having access to the Android UI framework or a web browser is big for those complex interfaces.

The productivity gains vs trying to build up that stack from a bare ARM MCU are immeasurable in the literal sense (a separate company contracted to do something like that would probably have more employees than we currently have working on software)

And of course, being able to hire Android devs and take advantage of the ecosystem doesn't hurt.
I'm afraid I don't have time here to explain Haskell. Think about how graph reduction and reference equality would interact.
Imagine most of your income comes from Adsense, how would you feel about revealing something as disturbing as google involved in a case of corruption in the european parliament? This is just a fictional example, but the point is this is the kind of news they release.

Mediapart is not about news on the latest iphone nor your average tabloid, they release news about political corruptions, large companies lobbying, and the like. Not having pressure from any company, or government, or political side is why they have subscribers (myself included, fwiw, disclaimer here).
No, actually, it's not. You're accusing someone of something very serious that puts their livelihood at stake. You need to have proof in that situation. It's a very intense and emotional experience, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to automatically assume the alleged victim is being honest.
Increase in lifespan plus decrease in birth rate is the problem. If both grow, you just scale up. But if not, eventually you'll end up with a problem.
It's almost as if academia were set up to advance the careers of those within academia rather than to advance human knowledge.
> Most users don't spend any time waiting for software that eats 100% of <= 4 cores, which is where the i5's advantage lies.

Well, every gamer does, and this exactly describes what web-browsing does. However, the FX is of course not too slow for that. Just slower.

> It depends on the user, and what he's using his computer for.

Sure. I was joking above with "get The FX if all you do is 7-Zip on Linux", but yours is of course a correct statement. If you identified correctly that the FX will perform better for your workload, then it is a better choice (if okay with higher energy usage and not having further upgrades, which just might be the case, and it is not like intel is known for long socket support anyway). I for example use Funtoo, which is a Gentoo variant, meaning I compile stuff all the time. I'm on an older processor, but I assume the FX would be a good choice for me.

> It's more likely that they are reusing old 8370 results and comparing with new 6600 results.

I think exactly for the FX-8370 that might be not true, as it is the processor you'd have wanted to compare the new skylake-i5 against. But for the others and older models exactly that will happen. I see no big issue there.

> I don't see a ~23% advantage for the 6600 to be very significant, when other results have the 8370/6600 100% faster than the 6600/8370.

~23% advantage is very significant to me. That is way off of measurement errors. 100% difference just matters even more ;) Also, that it is most often pro-i5.

Ah, I just hope Zen will turn out as great as I hope and is announced and I can start recommending and defending those processors :)

I've honestly only thought of containers as related to Docker. They definitely appear to be pushing to "own" the term as you said. Anyway, yeah, really bad name. CoreOS was a wonderful distro name that hinted at its overall purpose/function.
Sarcasm? I wish.

It's the sad truth. This is exactly the kind of story I expect on Medium, that's their clickbait, their MO to drive the traffic up. That's all you need to know about it.

It's so predictable, I don't know if it's more funny or more sad, actually.

And yes, I totally believe every single word of that story. Now that is sarcasm.

Look at the choice of words. It's all there, all the buzzwords, all the expected jargon, signalling virtue and belonging to the tribe.

People still don't realize this? Really?

Ten Myths of Cloud Computing – Site Pro News
Maven facilitates downloading all dependencies in one go, exactly for this scenario:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

And when you build a project once, all downloaded dependencies are cached locally indefinitely. That is, you can furnish a Maven build with offline dependencies.

Normally you do want to simply have your build download (and cache locally) a new version of a dependency, but an internet connection is not required if you have the dependencies available locally. Maven will always look in your local repository first, and will not try to download anything, except if you are depending on a SNAPSHOT version of something (which implies that the build should always check for a newer version).
I think we're all reasonably clear that software developers wouldn't collectively bargain for better salaries. But it's silly to suggest that there aren't issues that would motivate even coddled SFBA developers. For instance:

* Work-for-hire and IP assignment rules and how they relate to side projects

* Non-solicitation clauses and pacts between big companies not to hire

* Transparency about equity valuations in job offers

* Exercise periods for options (in fact: an area of current open conflict between VCs and employees!)

* Overtime, on-call requirements, and death-march schedules

There are probably a dozen more things like this, and that's before we get to the true purpose of organizing, which is to make sure that software talent as a bloc can use market pressure to prevent itself from being subverted by unethical government requests.

This is not a crazy weird idea. There are white collar unions, and there are professional organizations (like the AMA) that do many of the things a union does on behalf of their members, without calling themselves that.
Because I don't have details below the level of database and query, I had to imagine them up to write an answer. It seems like your use case is a bit unique.
I have two Google accounts and BigQuery has a problem if I want to use the not default one. It inhibited my curiosity a bit.

I had an idea to query the usage of string handling functions in C code bases, so I could do something like a manual linting around them.

> Good point, I don't think I've seen that suggested before.

A fictional example, but Alastair Reynolds' "Inhibitors" are a type/race of machines which, while intelligent, were specifically designed to limit their own degree of sentience.
The point that I was making was about how traditions and accepted practices govern (no pun intended) how government is run. If one party opens up the option of blocking recess appointments (by having the Senate continuously open), then they can't complain when the opposition does the same.

On the flip side, I expect to see a lot of the reverse as well with large numbers of Democrats refusing to act on or otherwise stalling legislation as retribution for how Republicans have acted the past few years. We're in for a fun ride.
I entirely disagree. You extract the content, and diff it against other extracted content. You dont need a human eye to determine that NBC11 republished an AP/Reuters story word for word. This should be somewhat basic pattern matching. We are talking about a company that can brute force vanity onion addresses!

Semantic analysis should be able to detect procedurally generated content farms. Human turking might be harder to detect, but once a site gets flagged, all its posts can be checked with stricter scrutiny.

It is extremely easy (from a computational standpoint) to rip a youtube embed out of a page and directly link to the source. If mashable and yournaturaldietnews are known content embedders, more aggressively deconstruct their pages.

There also has to be a way to crowd source content verification. They have 1.8 billion people, a subset of those people give good feedback. Maybe some peoples reports should be weighed more heavily than others, if they have a history of making valuable reports.

Maybe youre thinking fake news is mostly political. A lot of it is DIY and Health Tips, tech lifehacks etc. Rehosted videos with a banner added on the top and bottom. Animals. Any content taken from elsewhere can be easily detected, similar to Tineye or reverse image searching.
Rust seems like somewhat of a strategical direction for Firefox, not just any old frivolous dependency like mng support, so I think not prioritizing the brevity of the dependency list is reasonable here.

Have people traditionally been running their own modified browsers? Seems a bit scary given how you'd have to be on the ball to merge security fixes into your branch regularly.
Why not ask this question here?
"Minorities" is a diverse group of people by itself. Github already employs tons of white guys, so focusing future recruitment on women/minorities is perfectly sensible.

The diversity professionals at Github aren't the ones confused about what is and what isn't racist.

Even if github did discriminate against white guys (they don't; it's still a company owned and directed by white men) that wouldn't be a societal problem. There are thousands of companies out there where people of color and women face harsh discrimination, so counterbalancing that with companies that favor them would just help balance the scales. White men (in aggregate) face the least discrimination of ANY demographic, so panic about discrimination against white men is totally unjustified.

Congrats, you've assigned an arbitrary label to his questions. Labeling arguments is not the same as refuting them.

> The FitBit could go for 10 days, but I would have to monitor it (usually wait for the app to tell me) and then go find the charger and plug it in. Oddly the fact that I charge my watch every night seems like less of a cognitive burden to me because I don't actually have to think about it.

I can agree that the fitbit is a little more fiddly in that regard, I sometimes get surprised when my charge is low. But one of the things that I love about the fitbit is that I can track my sleep - and I cannot do that if I've taken it off overnight to charge.

I guess different people use their watches for different things. For me I like the step-tracking, love the heart-rate monitoring (when rock-climbing, lifting weights, or cycling), and adore the sleep tracking.

I only have a single complaint, and that is that the thing isn't waterproof. If I could go swimming with it on I'd be a complete satisfied user.

I can't help but notice the contradiction. A man jumped to her defense, which was sexism, and then her co-workers got resentful, which she wanted to be defended from but wasn't, and that was sexism too. Somehow, we all need to display more empathy for her situation.

I imagine there's a different side to this. Her coworkers noticed her getting treated differently and started teasing her about it, in a typical form of male ribbing on each other, in an attempt to equalize the status among the team. Rather than take this in stride and rolling with it, she clammed up and got offended, being used to a very different social style. The mistake was to see herself as the primary victim from day 1, rather than a beneficiary of unearned perks. The empathy she demands for herself she doesn't grant to others, and the reasonable and self-sufficient behavior she expects of everyone around her, she was unable to muster herself.

So here's the long medium post where she is unable to dissociate her experience from her identity. A "personal perspective" that nevertheless puts up a list of changes necessary for supporting women and minorities. She also somehow concludes that despite management not seeming to care and not bothering to reply to her final letter, her experience was nevertheless instrumental in causing sweeping and highly visible changes in policy.

Sorry but, being empowered by being uniquely protected is a contradiction. She opens "as a woman and minority" as if that's a liability, rather than the trump card she's actually playing it as. People who don't use that line still have problems, but they don't get to instruct others on how to solve them. If one of her white male co-workers had gotten bullied, I imagine we wouldn't be reading about it today, and she probably wouldn't have noticed either in her me-bubble.
There's a few forks that maintain the old UI that are popular, such as Pale Moon. They get security updates because the old ESR branches they're based on still get security patches from Mozilla.
