I think the point was that you don't want to be messing with production when people are going to be gone for days. Even if it's easy to roll back I'd just as soon not deal with it. If your application is of such importance that rolling a change out Friday v. Monday makes a different in the business's bottom line, that business can almost certainly afford to have weekend staff that could cover it.

Forgot to mention and it doesn't seem like I can edit my post anymore, but I'm located in Vancouver, B.C (Canada). The release includes the following sections:

* no admissions

* further claims (agree to not make claims against the Releasees)

* indemnity for taxes

* no denigration or defamation

* non-disclosure

* confidentiality

I don't believe it was a large layoff, in fact, I'm not sure if anyone else got hit. The reason was cited as an internal re-org, where the group of developers I belong to went under a different person within the company. I suspect it may have to do with the fact my options vest in about 2~3 weeks.

For this same reason you'll also get better results from CDN services with Google DNS. 8.8.8.8 will lookup a geo record from (almost) your actual location. 80.80.80.80 will look it up from the USA.

Any CDNs that are using geo-dns will be way slower than they should be outside the US as you'll have been given a US IP to load the content from.

"Good" in this case is very much in the eyes of the beholder. If your end-goal is accurate reproduction of the recorded signal, both vinyl records and compact cassettes are awful. But that might just not be the end goal. Cassettes certainly have some unique qualities that may be musically useful despite their signal reproduction shortcomings, just like driving a guitar amplifier to distortion has.

As a form of expression it has no obligation to be convenient or accurate, and it's hard to deny that the medium ultimately is part of the expression.

There are some real characteristics shared by some members of those large groups. Certainly not all of them, considering the arbitrary rules. 10% of American "blacks" have majority white ancestry. Are you telling me that they still have all of the real characteristics shared by others of the "black" group?

This stuff does not line up neatly. To the extent that there are genetic differences between groups of humans, the dividing lines don't match our concepts of race.
I had the same thought a few weeks ago (specifically about Change.org petitions). Here is a page I found that shows petitions that achieved some action: https://www.change.org/victories

No idea on how many did not succeed.
This pattern of behavior on Trump's behalf far precedes anything by Obama. He was publicly advocating for the (innocent)Central Park 5 to be executed in 1989, before Obama held any elected office. Let's not surrender ourselves so far to ideological thinking that every partisan is the precursor of their opposition's faults.
Patents are open by design. "Open sourcing" a patent just means Tesla is agreeing to license the patent to anybody and won't sue you for using it. That's still a marketing/business decision, not an engineering one.
It seems like you don't understand my point because you've ignored the fact that my mother and her sister look they belong to different races, despite having roughly the same genetic makeup (about half white and half non-white). My result is not surprising; theirs are, however.

As another commenter said, what about Obama? I've met people who are half black and half white and end up looking like white people. Obama doesn't look like someone from Africa, nor does he look like someone from Europe. Because of what society determines as being white, most people would say, "he looks more black," which isn't really true, but regardless, you likely would not be able to tell just by looking at his genetic makeup. Many people in the same circumstance look wildly different from him.

If your argument is that when someone's genes all come from one area, then you can take a guess at what they might look like, then sure. But to apply that blanket statement to the entire world is just not the case. There are parts of the world where those lines get very blurred (e.g. Turkey, Nepal, Afghanistan), and plenty of people who are of "mixed descent" with different phenotypes from you would predict from their genes.

The presupposition that I'm referring to is that there is a "deep state." It is similar to a lawyer asking if you've stopped beating your wife. If you say no, you lose. If you say yes, you lose. Because you accepted the frame, or premise of the question.

Thus frame control and accepting presuppositions is a dangerous game. It is also how you win the war of disinformation. Nearly any event, honest or not, can be spun through framing to appear crappy. Example. "Hey honey, I love that dress you're wearing." "What, you didn't like my last dress? Why don't you always complement me like that? I bet you'd like this dress better on my sister. You're only saying that because you didn't take out the garbage."

So a simple complement can be converted by framing, into an act of confession. If you've never studied forum sliding or all the other tricks the Russians use every day with 100's of paid internet propagandists spreading their message, it's harder to see.

Why Glen Greenwald would be using such tactics is quite beyond me. You would think that an honest journalist would put front and center who the likely humans are in this deep cabal of evil doers, or at least get us as close as he could. But he doesn't. So this piece must have some other goal, if not to expose the cabal. What it is, I am not sure.

So as much as I'd love to ignore the headline, and tell you what I thought of the article separate from it, there's not much else interesting there. Except for the doublespeak.

Sorry if it sounded like I was calling your post disinformation. Was only addressing the article.

Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model.

This happened not before trying to convince @Unknwon about giving write permissions to more people, among the community. He rightly considered Gogs his own creature and didn’t want to let it grow outside of him, thus a fork was necessary in order to set that code effectively free.

it's pretty funny
Obama's legacy has good spots and bad spots. In the future, his drone policy is something that may be viewed as a stain on America much like America's cold war meddling in South America that caused misery and bloodshed for millions of Latin Americas.

On the other hand, Bin Laden is dead, we didn't start any new wars, the US left Iraq, and several regimes changed to democracy in the Middle East without the US military getting heavily involved.

Obama's Justice Department has successfully shed light on patterns of police misconduct in several major cities and has mandated reforms. Yet, Obama and the DoJ ignored a landmark report on forensic science that could've exonerated thousands of wrongfully convicted and prevented wrongful convictions in the first place.

Net Neutrality won the day under Obama, yet he has done precious little to roll back pervasive surveillance and indeed has strengthened it.

In the fullness of time we'll see if Obama's legacy is ultimately viewed as negative or positive. And a lot of that depends on individual perceptions and what issues are important to you. Not to mention that feelings about his legacy will depend a lot on the quality of presidents succeeding.
It would be pretty sweet if Google made this kind of integration a generally available API.

The catch using something like this - while great from many perspectives is that you risk vulnerabilities just due to it not being as popular and as commonly attacked.

So if your threat model includes targeted attacks, where an attacker might invest some (even a small) level of effort to find a 0-day vulnerability, I don't think I'd use it.
This is not a backdoor. It is a vuln, and it'd be nice if it wasn't there, but this is not a backdoor.

There is no reason to assume this was "snuck in" with an intent to deceive users. Retransmission has been known and discussed repeatedly, months ago, and Facebook acknowledged it. What happened here is a choice of UX over security, specifically, choosing not to break existing WA users as they move them over to the otherwise great Signal protocol.

When a key changes, you can just keep trying, notify the user, or drop everything on the floor. If you want the latter, use Signal.

It would be nice if WhatsApp made 2 the default, and 3 optional. Right now 1 is the default and 2 is the option. The trick is to get the UX somewhere where normal people can do something useful with that information.

If you are at all upset about this, you are not a target WhatsApp user. It'd be nice if they changed this, but for the love of all that is good and holy, stop calling it a backdoor, because it isn't. Words mean things.

Why a Software Architect should be “hands on”
Funny thing, I'm from '00 and never touched Ubuntu. Debian (2005), FreeBSD (2007) usually. And yeah, netinst, only needed things, so it's not my noob-experience. But now I can't make it work because... idk. This state, 'idk', was not even imaginable in old linux, because you opened the handbook/reference and solved it. Now I fail to do this, because there are so many layers that are out of control of core system developers, and it's all about gnome/kde/xfce/craphaldbuspulsed/etc. Recently installed xfce-debian showed me a page of cryptic mounts (systemd's job, right?). Even osx is not a monster anymore vs this crazy thing.

And there is a probability that I'm also able to do all that on your box. Not sure about mine.
> It’s the same concept the has boosted Trump and Carson campaigns

I don't think its a coincidence that Donald Trump, a name half of America recognized before the election, won the election while Ben Carson, an unknown before the election, didn't make it past the primaries and received less than 3% of republican vote.

And if I'm right, this completely contradicts your article's thesis: Trump got the attention because he was already famous and known, not what he was saying. The general election also supports this.
> I don't care what your company does or how you run it, but please don't just rely on Github to host your code without a mirror somewhere. There are drawbacks to this incessant centralization.

For your own code sure that works and you can keep working locally.

The problem is that a lot of build systems rely on downloading releases from GitHub. If your build process is borked it's damn near impossible to push a code change to production.
exactly. I havent seen anything remotely exciting coming out of it.
An alternative is to say things and let your friends pass them on anonymously.

Things very wise and/or experienced VCs/founders have told me which I'm sure they wouldn't publish, which I have valued very much:

* If you don't look like a stereotypical founder, you won't follow the stereotypical path; that's not a problem, it's just a difference. Pursue your dream from first principles.

* The difference between flirting and friendly is perception, not purpose - don't worry about seeming aloof and don't take it the wrong way when pursued (to a point).

* Never come out until/unless absolutely necessary. Especially not to gay men.

* Absolutely don't talk about your young children with investors, especially if the investor has children of their own.

* The other side of not being perceived as a highly technical co-founder (which I am) because of my gender/appearance is that I'm more easily seen as a people person or product owner (which I'm very much not). It's ok to take advantage of that.

* I don't look enough like a founder to get angel/seed; I should make my money as a co-founder then self-fund through series-A, which tends to work out better regardless.

* Never, ever speak at a conference/on a panel about diversity. Your online identity defines your future opportunities, and the diversity racket is awfully small.

(Many more too specific or nuanced to include here.)

You can still find Metrowerks macros and macro checks in parts of Darwin/XNU (like the Mach-O loader). It's pretty interesting to see how the development options of the time have shaped the kernel and userspace's code, even today.
Basically they've used their exposed pipeline design and register metadata to fix the things that didn't work well about ALAT. Or at least that's the theory.

EDIT: I think the main problem was that on Itanium issuing a speculative load could potentially trigger a page fault making it potentially dangerous. On the Mill the page fault won't trigger until the load leads to a side effect outside the belt, sort of like it's been wrapped in a Haskell Maybe monad. So if you' have something like

for (int i = 0; i < foo; i++) {
a[i] = a[i]+1;
}

you can speculatively load the a[i+n] while you're working on a[i] even if allocated memory stops at the border of the array allocation.

The X has a tooltip that says "Clear this permission and ask again" so it's quite clear to me.
I am still working my way through the whole thing, but so far it seems like the differences between the two are in focus. Apple seems to focus on the Where aspect of the map with more city labels and such. Whereas Google is focusing on the How, meaning how to get from place A to B. It focuses on the roads and means of transportation.

I wonder if there is a different focus in Russia or China, or anywhere else for that matter. Are there more ways to focus or do map providers always have to choose between these two options?

I certainly prefer the Google method, but I do not know if that is because I am used to it, or if it really provides me with more value. Does anyone prefer the Apple maps approach? And if you do, is there any specific reason? I am truly fascinated by these differences.

Well, do the users know that Chrome itself sends a bunch of data to Google? On principle, I consider both Adobe and Google's practices to be abhorrent, but practically speaking Google definitely has the better record on product reliability and security.
Yes, I do believe in this. I strongly abhor the influence that the Australian government has on its citizens live; it cannot be denied that it enables a great body of people to live, and get along, but it must be understood that it was not without some truly human costs. Governments must be weighed by the integrity of their impact on the species; not just the sovereign, individual, citizens they have/have-not yet divided into appropriately allocated lots.
Wow, this is a great example of dishonest statistics. The rate of lung cancer deaths peaked somewhere around 1985-95.

I can imagine a bunch of last minute meetings with a bitter President (Obama) and angry and scared TLA representatives cooking up a surprise treat for the President elect. Probably phrased as "a last defence line for democracy", "in the event of a substantial rogue political support base for a compromised commander-in-chief". Or such.
