Yes it is.

But then again, providing the user with a unique shareable URL would be much better for the user.

And, this is just my own opinion[1], obviously, but, providing the best user experience possible, whether designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage is very important. It is wise to take great care to ensure that services will ultimately serve the user, rather than the provider's internal goal or bottom line. When building new tools and applications, they should work so well you don’t have to consider how they might have been designed differently.

I used this LL Bean quad pack [0], but in green. It had good back support and was sturdier than most.
Also, LL Bean has a lifetime return policy if you are ever unsatisfied [1].

I now carry this Patagonia Refugio 28L [2]. Smaller, less heavier, and more suited to my needs than the previous backpack.

I had finally listened to my last voice mail some time ago. What's old is new again.
No one said anything about it being simple, just that it can be done when you have the resources and reputation of a company like Apple.
may I ask if others feel this way? My sharing this is because I think it's an important part of the story and why we created Currently, but I don't want it to have a "dark aura" around the app by any means.

Does anyone else agree with the above sentiment?
Engineers are not simply interchangeable. Their expertise and experience are a very important part of who they are. A lead engineer can have a significant impact on the direction of a company, even one the size of Apple.
For simple dialogs that don't have to be saved (see the other discussions), this seems like an easy way to quickly put any format of dialog system together without reinventing your own DSL to encode those dialogs as state machine(s). You can easily compose dialogs just by calling functions and thanks to Luas tail call optimization you could even jump between dialogs without the fear of running out of stack space.

I'm not saying it's the best solution but it's pretty simple and probably easy to understand. I've used a similar approach way back in a networked multiplayer game where players could telnet into the game server and use text based menus to control the game. You can see the relevant Lua code here: https://github.com/dividuum/infon/blob/master/server.lua. I don't want to imagine how this code would look like without the use of coroutines.

For what it's worth, Chris Lattner specifically said in his farewell email [1] that "we don’t expect it to impact day-to-day operations in the Swift Core Team in any significant way." If you take him at his word, presumably that would mean the brain drain will be a nonevent.

Good to know. Is that a general statement or only true for specific subset of languages? Blake2B, for example, is demonstrably faster than MD5 in C, etc., but just barely faster than SHA-1 on the JVM.
Oh, the irony:

Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://analytics.freedom.press/piwik.php?idsite=4” on a secure page
Swift 4 has source-level compatibility with Swift 3 though a compiler flag. Some features obviously won't be available but existing code should work. This even goes so far as to present APIs differently so they continue to work (e.g. if a method was renamed Swift 3 mode will continue to offer the old name).

Swift 4 also has ABI stability as a goal so the OSes can begin shipping the Swift Standard Library.
When a important engineer leaves, sometimes a lot more end up following. Or at least their team members more open to looking at other offers.
Finally, in 2017, we can write custom comparators.
You're missing my other point in there - if you have the technical skills, language skills, and particularly mostly user-generated content (so you don't have to push much content of your own anyway), how much would you figure a site like that might cost to run on an annual basis? Seems to me that it could probably disappear into just the annual marketing budget of Durex, Trojans, with almost no notice, just to present one set of people also related to the sex industry.

My bigger concern is that commercial entities (with their profit-driven motive and legal exposure) wouldn't be the only ones interested in the question of "Who's illegally hiring prostitutes AND do their hiring patterns indicate anything special about their interests?"

A few hosted servers or VMs, some dedicated bandwidth in a few datacenters, a few cutouts and "private investors" backing it who don't actually care about making profits, and you have a priceless intelligence source about horny people - mostly of no interest at all, but a few potentially of great interest and value. What would be the worth of a Senator or Representative with embarrassing interests? It's not like elected officials ever get caught in airport bathrooms, diapers, or sending tacky selfies on Twitter.

Couple things:

1. The sexual abuse story is unrelated to your app and feels like you're trying to guilt the customer into using it. The best way to support victims would be to donate directly to the NGO not use your app, and therefore this story seems like a disingenuous marketing strategy.

2. The problem with audio only social network is there's no way to "skim" things. There's no guarantee that the audio story a user clicks on will be interesting, and by the time the user figures out its not, you've just wasted 60s of his life and he's angry and wants to delete your app.
A Mental State Called Flow
The benefits of Compilers in JavaScript
I love Redis!
Osprey Daylite for daily use.

For travel, I use carry-on packs that would allow for, say, a 2-week trip to Europe or SE Asia.

1. Osprey Farpoint 40. All-around favorite. It does everything well, although having slightly less volume. I don't mind because it overpacks well and helps keep total weight in check. Give me a 45L pack and I tend to overpack it and push carry-on limits. Great straps, good suspension, good hip belt (but not quite as good as Tortuga and certainly not better than the MEI).

2. Tortuga Pack v2 (v3 out now, but think v2 was much better). Until the Farpoint, this was my clear favorite for me. Very comfortable. Not flashy or good-looking, but really effective. v3 is considerably heavier and looks very nice (maybe too nice). I don't want my pack to look like I bought it from a Prada store. I prefer the rugged utility look of Osprey. Best at having quick-access pockets.

3. PacSafe VentureSafe 45L. If you're going somewhere where there is no safe in your room or you worry about pack slashers, this is the pack. Its basically like carrying an emergency safe that will protect valuables while you're out of your room. Not as supportive as Osprey or Tortuga, though (weaker straps, no suspension, and weak hip belt). Really good pack in every way but a little lacking in comfort and quick-access pockets.

4. Minaal v1. I hate saying anything bad about this company because I love upstart companies like Minaal and Tortuga. The pack is better IMO than the Patagonia Headway for comfort and support, but its not very stiff. You have to pack it carefully. Put a tablet in the back when overpacked, and you'll worry the tablet is bending. I don't use mine anymore. Totally ineffective hip belt BTW.

5. I've tried Patagonia's Headway carry-on and the Tom Bihn Aeronaut. While they are nice packs, they don't distribute weight very well and can become uncomfortable pretty quickly. No suspension. Weak straps and hip belts. I wouldn't want to walk long distances with them. Bought both and returned them.

6. Haven't tried the GoRuck, but I understand they're quite heavy (good materials, well-built). I don't see better storage options than the Osprey. People love them, however. Or at least, they seem to love the company. I place a premium on added weight, so I probably won't ever buy one.

7. I have an MEI Voyageur, and its without a doubt the most cushioned pack I've used, but its so close to exceeding carry-on limits, you risk overpacking it and having it checked. And if you underpack it, the pack tends to sag and support diminishes. I don't use it anymore.

8. Timbuk2 Aviator. This pack is so close to excellence. Unfortunately, way too small for me (35L or something), but its a good stiff pack, good straps, good pockets, and extremely well-built. All makes for a very comfortable pack. If this pack was, say, 42L, it would be a very close competitor to #1 and #2.
I build Node.JS apps and Cordova apps all day long on Windows 10.

What's your problem?
A programming language transition takes many years. The toolchain must stabilize. Once you nail things down you add ABI stability so the OS can ship with the standard libraries. Only then can you begin rewriting core components.

It is already publicly known that some components are written in Swift, e.g.: the macOS Dock is a Swift application.

I think that's fair. After all, poach has literal meanings that apply to acts that are clearly wrong or illegal. In fact, if I look at the dictionary, you see words like trespass, steal, etc.

You do hear poach used colloquially or even somewhat jokingly when it's not intended to imply anything nefarious but the word does imply something underhanded.

>The point is that Apple's been dropping the ball a lot lately.

They might, but the examples for that are bad themselves:

>Macbook with less ports

Which has always been something Apple pushed for. Dropping deprecated ports early (to complains) and adopting new ones. Few doubt USB-C is the future, even if they complain about the dongles.

>copy&paste iPhone with no originality

The iPhone, like the iPod before it, had always had incremental updates. What originality exactly should it had at it's 10th year? Magic pixie dust spray? Can you point to some competitor doing anything original?

Besides, while everyone is always about how "Apple is all about style and no substance", nobody pays attentions to the large internal changes inside the iPhone year over year, with new processors, boards, camera setups and other internals designed by Apple. Processors, than, in all tests, leave the competitive top-end Android phones behind in single/multi core performance.

>imac/macpro with old CPUs :-(

Intel announced Kaby Lake CPUs suitable for the iMac just last week (Jan 03).

Mac Pro, yes, but it's probably a duying niche product.
Windows does the same thing, at least in 10. I get a notification that further action is required and clicking it opens a no-SSL Microsoft URL that Will redirect.
The first question here really is The Question, I think. Does the fact that the employee is being paid to share the information with the FBI change anything? But note that we don't have a situation here where the employee gains access to your computer under false pretenses because the FBI paid him to do so. Instead, he has access in the normal course of business, with your consent. He is only being paid to share data that he rightfully has access to. (There may also be an issue lurking in that last part. What, exactly, is the scope of the consent you give a Best Buy employee? Do you consent to have him look at everything on your hard drive? I suspect that the answer to this will prove to be 'yes,' but it may require more thought.)

I think the second issue, though, is largely a red herring, at least when it comes to 4th Amendment law. It may be that such considerations should affect the probative value of the evidence that is 'recovered,' but it's not clear to me how that relates to the 4th Amendment. The structure of the 4th Amendment analysis relates to what rights you have to keep other people out of your stuff, and when those right have been violated, and therefore doesn't really engage with the question of whether the evidence was planted.
You're talking a bunch of nonsense here. Apple hired Angela Ahrendts to be SVP of Apple Retail. That's why her experience with Burberry was important. She has nothing to do with the tech and development side, only retail.

On the other side, Jony Ive isn't just a designer any more than Stephen Hawking is just a scientist. Ive is an industrial designer with heavy, diverse engineering background. His entire purpose is to find a way to cram specs into solidly designed products that support the hardware packed into them.

While Apple may be considered a luxury brand, they're definitely not a fashion brand. You seem to be confusing Apple Retail for Apple as a whole.

There's many different angles to approach the topic from. I added a link to my post providing a legal point of view.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I think Musk is overrated. The guy has a huge ego, just like Jobs had, and while he's putting it into a nice package, he's not the guy to come up with anything; electric cars, spacecraft etc.

Yes, he might change the world if/once he gets to Mars, but most of his stuff is a marketing tech demo.

Petition: OnePlus, Bring back default behaviour for vibration in OP2 / OP3
FWIW, a lot of companies have non-solications in place to try and prevent this kind of behavior. They're far from fool-proof, and there is nothing stopping an employee from leaving of their own volition, but I would guess both of them have some sort of agreement in place not to poach talent directly.
I look at stuff like this the same as Facebook: sure maybe there are “settings” but those can change any time (assuming you bother to keep looking) and there can be bugs. In other words, who knows if it really operates the way you want.

Better options for privacy: demand it for yourself, by setting up local host files that block domains, etc. and preferring to use software that can be audited easily.

Ugh, their customer service is terrible. I can understand from a business perspective how they aren't incentivized to make it easier to cancel subscriptions... but I'm a paying customer and have had frequent delivery problems (I like to get the actual paper paper), and the people at the call center are just totally unable to do anything to help.

I suppose that's the irony of declining business... after a while you can't even afford to take good care of your existing customers, which further accelerates the decline.
When you go to the contact page to get the number to unsubscribe, if you hang out for a few seconds an option to talk to someone over chat eventually pops up. They'll try to keep you, hard sell you on other services, etc. just keep saying you'd like to cancel and they'll eventually do it.

It'd still be nice to have a one-click option, but at least it's a bit easier to do passively than needing to call someone.
Not entirely sure about the back story of Chris Lattner joining Tesla. But according to Techcrunch,

Gross first found his way to Apple after Cue, formally called Greplin,
was acquired by the company for $40 million back in 2013 for its
predictive search capabilities. After spending the last three years in
Cupertino, Gross was ready to get back to his entrepreneurial roots.

It's possible that agreement during that acquisition Gross has a 3 year vesting period and it's not very surprising that some founders leave after certain stock vesting events. This is purely my speculation but it's possible. And the timing of it might just be a coincidence.

Indeed. I have a couple of Go projects that are released in the classical manner as tarballs, which users can extract anywhere and compile with `make && make install`.

This used to work okay-ish until Go 1.5. Then Go 1.6 introduced vendoring support (i.e. you put the code for the libraries you need into your own repo) which is very nice if it works, so I wanted to have it. But `go build` stubbornly refuses to look at vendored code when you are not in the exact correct location inside the GOPATH.

To preserve the familiar build semantics, I set up the GOPATH inside the repo. Roughly like this:

$ git clone https://github.com/foo/bar && cd bar
$ mkdir -p .gopath/src/github.com/foo
$ ln -sTf ../../../.. .gopath/src/github.com/foo/bar
$ GOPATH=$PWD/.gopath go build github.com/foo/bar

Of course, all that bullshit can be nicely tugged away in the Makefile. For example: https://github.com/sapcc/swift-drive-autopilot/blob/a3d5d02b...

You can find this either hilarious or sad. I like the irony in using make(1) to patch up the deficiencies of a tool that was created decades after it.
AFAIK, current social media (direct messaging may be a little different) perceived value is roughly video > still image > text >> audio.

AFAICT, the fact that it's not visually skimmable seems to be the reason audio is far behind.
Considering the recent hire of Tesla's new Vice President of Autopilot Hardware Engineering team was Jim Keller[0], the lead architect for AMD's K8 (Athlon 64) and a very influential force behind both Apple's A* chips and AMD's Zen (Ryzen), I think you're right that they're looking to rely less on NVIDIA.

My guess would be that Tesla's ambitions are set on controlling the whole stack. Something along the lines of a custom software toolchain for tailor-built silicon.

Go is opinionated how things are done, and just happens that its opinion fits yours, the issue is what when it doesn't?

With non-opinionated languages nothing is stopping you from structuring your code the same way.

Some people stated how hard go makes it when you try to have project that utilizes different languages. Another issue is when you try to use a fork of one of library.

Yet another is that it is much more complex to generate a package (e.g. rpm) of projects that has many dependencies.
Same for me and WoW - I'll start up every expansion, play a couple months, and unsubscribe no sweat. I do it again and again because I know I'm not really "committing" to 15 bucks a month, because it'll be easy to cancel.

Luxembourg's bid to become the Silicon Vally of space mining
Python has a list of locations to look for projects (modules) in (sys.path) and by default includes the working directory as the first item in that list.

Go has a list of locations to look for projects (packages) in ($GOPATH) and by default does not include the working directory. Unlike Python's sys.path, $GOPATH normally only contains a single value.

Python's behavior is similar to $PATH on Windows while Go's behavior is similar to $PATH on Unix.

There are pros and cons to each default value but either language can be overridden to have the other's behavior if you desire.

I personally quite like having a single unified $GOPATH for all of my source.
