That may be the reason for misunderstanding. In my language (Slovak), diacritic is not used to "write less". It is used to express different sounds, i.e. s = с, š = ш, c = ц, č = ч.

I get tired when I talk to machines, it seems to take more mental and physical effort than talking to people. (I have to make whatever adjustments are required so the machine will understand me, multiplied by the number of times I have to repeat it.)

As for the fear of your fellow man, I think the total amount of danger you are exposed to through microphones through

* high-school hackers

* intelligence services of countries other than your own

* identity thieves, bank robbers, etc.

* disgruntled contractors of Amazon.com, National Security Agency, etc.

* people who want to make a sex tape of you, or frame you for some crime, etc.

* your spouse, parents, children, etc.

is vastly greater than the treat of the intelligence agencies of your own country poses to you in most places.

Echo normalizes "always on" behavior; something that looks a bit like a hockey puck can be stuffed under the bed, in either a tidy or messy A/V center and be ignored. For that matter, people are used to seeing strange phones, laptops and other things plugged in around the home and office.

I guess I wasn't clear. My point is that planning isn't perfect, and will never solve all problems.

An example from my hometown of Ithaca NY: this tiny valley was never built with cars in mind, and because there is a lake to the north and steep hills in every other direction, there are only about 6 ways in and out of Ithaca. Usually this isn't a problem but certain times of day the traffic comes to a complete stop as there is no physical way to relieve the congestion. If major charges to roadways were made, it could fix some of the congestion issues, but since nearly all travel through Ithaca revolves around The Commons (literally: one-way streets move traffic counterclockwise around the popular pedestrian mall), it could have a devastating effect on local businesses.

I am convinced that no single entity is capable of creating and executing a plan that improves an urban area in any more than a limited portion without significant and unforeseen consequences.

Speaking of slums: the original plans for public housing projects in big cities like New York failed to account for the lack of maintenance or the effects of drugs being sold or used on the premises, which matters a lot because one prolific drug dealer can drastically reduce quality of life for everybody in the building, especially if they are smart or small-time enough to avoid police interference, thus allowing dealers to become de facto authorities in the projects. That is an example of a planned (but unexpected) slum.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's worked on mobile GPUs, no one uses conditionals in shader code since the performance hit is gnarly(and used to be even worse before branching support). It's a fairly uncommon code path.

As far as these go they aren't that bad, I've seen a highly regarded vendor's shader compiler die and bring down the whole Android stack which resulted in insta-reboot.

If it isn't in the rendering path for Android(HWUI) or Chrome then it's best to tread carefully on mobile GPUs.
I loved the game. The best part of the game is actually getting the colored coins and Toad Rally. I tend to run out of tickets fast and would love to buy more tickets. I think this could be a great way for Nintendo to make a constant revenue stream in the game.

Sorry for ruining the party (seriously).

I like Perforce. It may not be perfect. But it's idiot proof.

That's because it is almost impossible to do anything, good or bad with it. ;-)

"Days since gitastrophe" is a common phrase.

Never heard it before.

There is no Perforce equivalent. You can't blow your leg off.

The equivalent of a hand saw: you will have a harder time cutting off your leg with a hand saw than with a chain saw.

There aren't thousands of "Perforce made easy" blog posts because it's actually easy. There are no "fixing my p4 repo" tales because it never breaks.

Or because nobody uses it and those who do keeps the knowledge for themselves;-)

Seriously: I used perforce for 18 months and I tried to understand why people loved it but no luck. Git isn't exactly perfect but compared to "checking out" a file before even editing it or not being able to commit without access to the server (IIRC) git is perfect. Oh, and not being able to check out a file that someone else has checked out, so if a dev goes on holiday without "checking in" the files first then you have to hack a bit to get ready for work again.

The best argument however for git is that even the perforce guys have integrated with it.

Thanks Perforce.
To be fair, Reuters is not really known for articles. This is not unusual for news agencies, as opposed to newspapers or magazines.
Just anecdotally, I have friends who have been very successful with buying and renting condos/apartments in a college town. Demand for rental units stays high (well-known, reputable public university).

Oddly enough, they have generally negative experiences renting to parents of students instead of directly to students.

I will say that my friend works full time as the property manager for their units. It's not a passive investment.

Several years ago, I talked with an accountant who had clients who owned rental property about the ROI. The feedback was that if you had to hire a property manager and outsource all repairs/maintenance, the value proposition of rental property was greatly reduced and closer to neutral than many owners initially assumed.

It looks like it is working out well for my friends though - they were able to leverage their financing as they acquired new units because interest rates have been so low. They have been cash-flow positive for many years. But they also capped themselves at about 20 units under management.

Agree that it's ambiguous. I fired it up and saw a new play mode available today (rally free run).... so not new levels, but new gameplay option.
I don't think it "needs" more content, but honestly I'm surprised because there are 6 worlds and I fully expected there would be an update to add the traditional worlds 7 and 8... oh well. Either way I like that I can just buy the game and play it rather than having a ton of IAP's. However, I'm very disappointed that I'm not able to easily switch from playing on my iPhone to my iPad without force quitting out of it on the first device, and I don't like that they don't use Apple's normal purchasing methods. What I mean by that is that according to messaging in the game, if you don't link a Nintendo account and you delete the game, there is no way to restore that in app purchase and you'll have to buy it again, which is just stupid.
ding ding ding. The original dev should have made a new feature branch off master. Then they should have dropped the 18 files in, or if the 18 files had a commit history, cherry picked those commits into the new feature branch.

The next day, when he was ready for the rest of the changes, merge those into the feature branch.

These devs were trying to be clever, and got bit by it :)

If there's one thing 2016 shows it's the unlimited capacity for people to paint political views that they don't share of any kind, regardless of reasonableness or validity, as "racist" or "bigoted".

The "special deal" the EU is claiming exists might be legal according to Irish tax law, but that doesn't matter because according to them,

"it gives Apple a significant advantage over other businesses that are subject to the same national taxation rules"

and

"On this basis, the Commission concluded that the tax rulings issued by Ireland endorsed an artificial allocation of Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe's sales profits to their "head offices", where they were not taxed. As a result, the tax rulings enabled Apple to pay substantially less tax than other companies, which is illegal under EU state aid rules.
This decision does not call into question Ireland's general tax system or its corporate tax rate."

The argument (which I don't agree with, but which has some merit) is that he and his accomplice used knowledge available only to them which constituted a fraud against the casino.

The reason I don't agree with it is that the fact that the cards were printed in a manner which made it possible to do this does not mean they defrauded the casino, it means the casino shouldn't have agreed to use those cards because their security folks should have known about this issue.
Apple must have had lots of emails over the years with people wanting to return a 'Next' shirt or asking if they are going to restock such-and-such jeans again.

It's really not, I've shared IAP's between my devices. Nintendo is just being a bit greedy on this aspect. Also unless you link a nintendo account if you delete the game you'll have to buy it again, which is dumb.

I understand where this is coming from and yes many people are hung up on passion but there are a lot of people breaking their backs out there with no interest in what they are pursuing.

I think it's a mistake to adopt a stereotypical attitude to Millenials. I'm tail end Gen X and I have to say I'm generally impressed and inspired by people in their twenties/early thirties nowadays. Yes there are quirks and habits that I find amusing or disdain...but it's superficial. They have their bit of greatness in them.

In general I found the article hard to argue with on some points, especially with regard to resisting symbols. However much of his approach seems grounded in a naive rationalism, which suggests that if people could only stick to pragmatism that there would be less conflict. I think removing the rhetoric that conceal the real conflicts might in fact accelerate them.

> You definitely are the lucky one. I've never installed Linux without issues.

Not at all. I use linux since the early 2000s and I can't recall the last time I had any problem getting a linux install to run out of the box.

In fact, the only problem I could remembered was a wifi card that required ndiswrapper to run, way back in the good old days of Mandrake 10.

Other than that, I recall problems involving flash plugins, and that's that.

Meanwhile, throughout the last decade I've used Mandrake, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian as my main OSs. They always worked right out of the box.

That being said, I do buy hardware with linux compatibility in mind. Hardware support does make a difference.

Trade financial stability now for passions later is my take on this post, this resonates with me strongly as I'm at this very crossroads (and im a millennial) and leaning towards financial stability to provide foundation on which to find my passion.

Let's do some math.

So, this is a $927,000,000 five year contract. Right?

So let's tell the government not to pay talented companies to provide services and instead hire federal employees to build out infrastructure to do the same thing.

Assuming we have kind of a $200,000/year base salary for the types of people we need (so like a GS-15 or so), how much does that cost the government over the same time span?

$1,000,000/employee.

So you would prefer the government hire 927 people full time for five years to completely replace MS? Do you think they'll do a good job? Is $200,000 salary a good deal, or will you end up hiring bad software developers at that rate? Can you hire better developers for $400,000/year? Can 464 people build a MS replacement in 5 years?

Also, who will support it? Do we need to factor that in as well? Will we have to replace this new OS/tech stack in 5 years? Is that another billion dollars?

I suspect that you're looking at the price and being blown away by the number. The DoD spends $580 billion each year (roughly). Are there any comparable companies with a $580 billion/year run rate? Expand your mind, friend. This is a bargain price for the government.

You should do some digging and try to find out how much DISA is paying for their own version of AWS. I suspect that number will blow your mind as well.
As someone who makes a great salary on doing what I love to do, I don't think it's all bullshit. Following your passion doesn't have to mean that you want to be a rock star. It's ridiculous to think that you can't find something you're passionate about in your work.

There has been some interesting open source AI projects related to NSFW images (eg. Yahoo_NSFW, Open_NSFW, MilesDeep). What is GitHub's policy regarding this projects? Could a GitHub page present results? What about a link to download a training dataset?
