It's waste of resources. Fedora does mass rebuild once per 3 months at average. If libc gets a security fix, dnf in Fedora will download just a delta between packages. Lower consumption of resources mean faster turn-over rate and is better overall. But I can mimic NixOS behavior with mock (tool for clean rebuilds) and chroots or containers, if I want.

I always cancel immediately when I get a BC "BahnCard" (same day or week), these days usually the trial 25% version (3 months, automatic 1 year subscription if you don't cancel).

It used to be pretty bad but nowadays you can cancel a BahnCard online, I used that service at least three times already during the last two years:

The author is the one who speaks for everyone. I would like to use Xcode or Atom/Visual Studio Code.

And... by definition when you work on a remote server you are not developing on the iPad!
I take around 10-20 personal trips to family and friends every year, for around 1000-1500€ of "standard" fares, but pay only half with the BC50. I don't own a car. The card would cost me 250€/year so its quite a big saving. Its mostly long distance, so just for regional you are probably right it wouldn't matter.

I can't comment much on the regional experience, especially when living outside a large city. I have 3 train stations in distance of different trams. So you can be right. Although here the National Express won a contract as well and their trains are bad compared to the DB regional ones, so maybe DB is running the old trains in your region, where here in Bonn/Cologne they have very modern ones.

DB internet changed providers just some weeks ago, they now have a multi provider approach and Telekom isn't the only one anymore. Its also free for everyone even in second class on the Telekom served ones and ICs are supposed to get internet next year as well. They are even talking about adding it to regional ones.

Like with Deutsche Telekom who was government monopolist before, the competition will push the DB in a 10-20 year change cycle and after that it will be on top again with the best service and offer across the board. That kind of investment and change just takes a long time for this kind of big company.

I can't be certain whether this affected this particular case at all, but note that Northern Indian English isn't American or British English. The vocabulary is similar (not in fact identical), but emphasis of all kinds is handled entirely differently. In fact, oppositely. In Hindi and Northern Indian English PAUSES show emphasis, whereas increases in volume (for a given word) are syntactically determined and have absolutely no semantic meaning or significance whatsoever.

In American English, pauses are almost always mechanically/syntactically determined and carry no meaning, but increasing the volume for a given word shows emphasis. This EASILY leads to extreme and sudden misunderstandings in both directions, as each side sees very obvious sarcasm and emphasis where none was intended. They're both sure they're right and that they are speaking the same language, but outside of print, these are two separate languages.

Since it's more recent, the Northern Indian English vocabulary has a cleaner logic, so personally if I had to chose just one, I'd go with that, but that's neither here nor there.

Long years ago, I attended a lecture by, I believe, the first scholar to experimentally demonstrate this and publish it; and the recorded examples of ordinary real-life interactions (not staged) taking place in British businesses that he used to illustrate the lecture were extremely striking; in fact very explosive.

In case this seems like something anyone would notice - in fact it's beneath notice. Similarly, the semantic use of tones in Chinese was denied by scholars there for something like hundreds of years, before finally being acknowledged. Language is handled unconsciously for the most part.
I'm not sure how you're calculating that

DB regularly offers a trial BahnCard 25 special. Right now for 16 Euros. It is valid for three months - don't forget to cancel right away (right when you get it) or it's an automatically renewing subscription. You can order and also cancel online (cancellation URL: see my other comment here somewhere).
> why would an AV not just detect the compiler itself?

Because then users of a binary need to trust that the compiler-user had an AV installed.
> I feel like the same things were said about systemd a few years ago and here we are, every major distribution uses it out of the box.

Say hello to RH fueled code churn. First it was powerkit, then it was powerd, and now most of it is found inside systemd-logind. Want to power down the computer by clicking a button in the DE, you need systemd-logind, powerd as a wrapper (for now), polkit, and dbus to glue it all together.

That or you can forgo building your default distro install around any of the major DEs.

The CADT that JWZ railed against a decade ago have gone supersonic, and heading towards superluminal.

I really fear for the day Torvalds hands off the maintenance of the kernel, as he is likely to hand it to someone that is already very accepting of this churn.

Edit: BTW, it seems the BSDs still rely on hald. Maybe i should bite the "apple" and move on over.

The article is interesting, I learnt about a few apps that could be valuable to me.

But what I found most worrying was the lack of acknowledgement that exclusively using cloud storage has caviates associated with it. Are we really so comfortable with, unencrypted, cloud storage now that we don't even mention the potential for warrentlsss access and other abuses?
To temporary fix the issue, you could do the following:

change response_type=code to response_type=token. Instagram will redirect back to your site with something like /callback#access_token=123456. From here, send the user to a very simple page with the following snippet:

<script>

if (window.location.hash && window.location.hash.indexOf('#access_token=') !== -1) {
var accessToken = window.location.hash.replace('#access_token=', '');
window.location = '/callback?access_token=' + accessToken;
}

</script>

After that, you just use the Instagram API to retrieve user by access token then perform log in. This is not a recommended flow by Instagram but is a flow that works for now if your customers are constantly hammering you with support tickets as they did with us.
I don't know how strong that argument is, yet I suspect not very.

The problem with selling to 'less well intentioned parties' is that they are hard to get a hold of, hard to trust, and time consuming to work with. I very much doubt that many people who sell to them are not already close to them and their ilk. I also see this much like the arms trade, where illegal trading is an intrinsic property of the trader, not a function of the market.
Then I guess you don't remember the early 1990s when Congress was already freaking out about how much porn was being distributed on this new Internet thingy that most of them had never even tried to use at that point.

But to the main point, excluding porn from copyright protection means going back to the days of prudes using obscenity laws to suppress works they didn't like and requiring their publishers to go to court to defend them (i.e, D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, William Burroughs, Alan Ginsberg, etc.).

Yes, if you want to run TCP/IP on it. But if you have bucks for it, it takes just a little bit more cash to get rid of packet IO altogether, and the network stack overhead along with it.
I'm the author, and I assure you I am (and was) aware of Bell's theorem, notwithstanding that I didn't actually mention it in the paper. Bell's theorem in no way invalidates what I said. It is in fact a theorem of its own that measuring one EPR particle cannot affect the outcome of any experiment performed on its partner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem
No, there really is a difference between a flipped coin and an unobserved particle: the latter can interfere with itself. A coin will not interfere with itself after you flip it even if you don't look at the outcome.
In my experience it is not enough to disable third party Antivirus - it has to be completely uninstalled. At least one major AV (can't remember which) still leaves its TCP/IP hooks in the kernel even when disabled making network traffic several times slower. Customers are aghast at the suggestion that AV is the problem - surely you are the one with the bad code. They think AV couldn't possibly slow all disk and net accesses by an order of magnitude.
Yeah, the only thing I changed is the `shell` key in the .hyper.js file to point directly to the bash.exe that's bundled with git for windows.

// the shell to run when spawning a new session (i.e. /usr/local/bin/fish)
// if left empty, your system's login shell will be used by default
shell: 'C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe',

If you want, here is a link to my full .hyper.js config, i haven't really done anything else except change the shell, font, font-size, and plugins.

But that's not a data misrepresentation. It's a paradigm misrepresentation.
There are actually three different ideas in play here: decoherence as described by Zurek, the relative-state interpretation as described by Everett, and the popular account of the universe "splitting" when a measurement is made. All three of these are different, at least rhetorically, even though at a high enough conceptual level they all amount to the same thing.

It's never a no-risk addition. Perhaps your custom code is buggy and ends up adding in random memory contents that happened to contain both your AES key and your custom crypto key, into the message payload ala heartbleed.
ELI5: ClojureScript uses an advanced Google Javascript compiler that eliminates dead code. To make that possible you have to be super careful about how you reference external javascript libraries in your code, because these will get sucked into the dead code elimination- Which is GOOD, because you want to remove all the unused gunk from your libraries, but it's also BAD because only advanced ClojureScript users could sometimes figure out how to reference a new library.

This "externs inference" feature is the first step into automating the importing of javascript libraries, in order to make the process easier.
They kinda had to, because of the rising popularity of Spybot and Malwarebytes.
> Why don't we perceive the full linear combination of quantum states?

My personal belief is that it is because consciousness is a classical information-processing phenomenon. In other words, we can only directly perceive things that can be described as real numbers rather than complex numbers because we are Turing machines, and Turing machines are classical.

If the public truly didn't care about statistics - even those they themselves observed - or their own convenience, then we'd still have flagpersons on foot preceding all automobiles. The history of the modern elevator is also very instructive in this regard: that device seemed infinitely dangerous to the public initially, but the statistics - almost no injuries - did decide the case in favor of elevators and their safety-springs rather quickly.
I adored BeOS but I am not sure whether the single-user “wide open” lack-of-security model it embodied was a path worth taking. Surely one can question whether it makes sense to have purportedly multi-user UNIX-derived OSes on single-user mobile devices, but...

>Using a romanized scripts makes all these subsequent steps with grammar and accents much harder.

This is the exact problem with learning Japanese using roumaji (rouma ji = roman character; ローマ字), because you of course start to read the latin script with your starting accent (assuming of course your first language is written using the latin alphabet).

However some textbooks persist with using it, despite being excellent otherwise (Japanese: The Spoken Language being one). I can't stress enough the need to move off reading Latin characters. It is also useful to learn the characters by sound rather than their roman equivalents. i.e instead of learning that ロ is "ro", you could learn it by listening: https://youtu.be/aLEtZ2CRoho?t=1m53s

I wonder if this is as big of a problem as the author is making it out to be.

I understand that the "right hook" kills a lot of cyclists, but I assume that's largely because of human driver blind-spots. Does the self-driving car have the same (or any) blind-spots?

This behavior should probably be fixed regardless, but I doubt these Uber cars are all rolling murder machines like the author seems to believe.
Some of our customers have complained how they were having issues with logging in with their account a few days ago. We've tested it on our end and it was working without any issue.

You would not be ’interested’ in “running [Haiku] over Linux”: the latter has evolved, the former is a re-implementation of an innovative 1990s OS that has since been left behind by about fifteen years of lack of progress.

It was fascinating and awesome at the time, however, and for many of us this project brings back those erstwhile thrills. It's a kind of futuristic retrocomputing thing that (I guess) leads others to still wax lyrical about other obsolete platforms such as (say) Amiga.
> The author is the one who speaks for everyone.

No, he doesn't. He speaks of his own experiences.

In fact, he states as much very clearly in the introduction: "The Mac and the iPad can coexist in a market where customers believe one is superior to the other. I prefer working on the iPad; others like their Macs more. And that's fine[...]".
I get that the cost of the developers working with more high-level platforms might be lower and that an SDK in Java-like language probably will be more popular than one in C.

It's just that using 512 MB RAM and a quad-core processor for something as simple as a light switch just seems to be so very wasteful.
"Not know whether to laugh or cry" usually means (to me) a situation is both funny and sad. Like you wouldn't say "my entire family was killed in an automobile crash, I don't know whether to laugh or cry," there's no humorous component.

Doubt that.

1) The daily rate for this kind of work is high.

3) Multiply 1 and 2 by the number of people you want in the team.
I explained it as clearly as I could: he called me a loon because I said something that was wrong. And he was correct: the thing he claims is wrong is indeed wrong.

What he failed to notice (or at least failed to mention) was that the wrong comment was preceded by me saying, "I am about to tell you something that is wrong because it makes an interesting and illuminating puzzle to figure out why it is wrong." And it was followed by me saying, "Obviously what I just told you can't be right (because if it were I would at the very least have won the Nobel prize in physics), so there must be a flaw in the reasoning. But where is it? Well, it's here..."
No, folks on the right like to look at some other stats to broaden our understanding. A favorite statistic on the right is the number of African American adult males who grow up in low income situations without a father who then commit crimes as an adult. This same increase happens with every other race who is in a low income situation without a father in the house.
