One of the biggest Aha!! moments I had happened when I created my first company and realized how important joining people of different personalities together is in order to make them prosper. Making teams instead of solo work.

For example a very good designer or visionary could see the forest but finds it very hard to face each individual tree. There are other people that can't see the forest by themselves but are extremely efficient working on tree after tree.

You just join them together and magic happens.

It is a terrible thing that our educational system favors so much individualism, even when most important work(Nobel prices, great products or services) are done in teams.

When someone starts too many projects but finish none, for me is a symptom that he simply can't finish it alone. In my company I have gotten practice on making people finish things.

This is probably the biggest thing Silicon Valley has, there is always someone who can help you and you help her too.
Gay man here. In a long term relationship. Also have lots of straight friends, so I've heard about that side of things as well. I think the trope of a happy marriage requiring sex is just as harmful.

The truth is that a marriage needs as much sex as it needs, no more, no less. There are people who are perfectly happy in sexless marriages, and people who are miserable in marriages where sex isn't a problem.

The most important ingredients for a happy marriage are two people who are well sorted ou. Everything else is negotiable.

The stated jurisdiction is unclear and the main licence term includes the word "revocable". Unfortunately, that combination alone means the licence would contradict our usual guarantees to clients. These typically say we will only incorporate third party elements when the client has a perpetual and irrevocable legal right to use and redistribute those elements as part of whatever we're delivering. The furthest we've ever stretched this is including FOSS with widely recognised licences where there may be a well understood obligation on the client to provide the source code on demand, and some clients won't be happy going that far.

The bottom line is that our clients don't want to get bogged down with the terms of third party contracts or licence agreements and whether they could undermine the whole project, so anything with the slightest hint of risk is immediately more trouble than it's worth in this sort of area.
For any commands or pipelines, you can use:

Democratic governments exist to serve the people who vote for them.

Democratic governments should serve everybody, not only the people that voted for them. Of course they'll have some obvious preferences, but neglecting or even crushing a sizeable group of people because they're not their voters is not what democracy is meant to be. It's not even wise.

> The basic moral foundation of most anarchist philosophy is universal.

They claim their moral foundations are universal. I have yet to see a comprehensive proof that they are in fact universal and overcome the is-ought problem outlined by David Hume.
I hate to smash this concept, but if you'd bothered to read the link I provided:

> This has recently been interpreted by a few writers as a sarcastic remark directed at Hooke's appearance.[8] Although Hooke was not of particularly short stature, he was of slight build and had been afflicted from his youth with a severe kyphosis. However, at this time Hooke and Newton were on good terms and had exchanged many letters in tones of mutual regard. Only later, when Robert Hooke criticized some of Newton's ideas regarding optics, Newton was so offended that he withdrew from public debate, and the two men remained enemies until Hooke's death.
That's way cool. I'm a cybernetics graduate, and I've long thought that the current ways of regulating processes could probably be improved upon with ML. Tough to get any one to pay attention because PID is usually good enough, and the field generally value mathematical analyzability, which ANNs are not particularly known for.

Is there any way I can contact you directly?
Iina is very promising. Keep in mind that it is still very early in development, but I really like the mindset of the developer and contributors - creating a macOS experience, not cross-platform that looks bad everywhere.

MPlayerX was once upon a time also that, but its maintenance went vaporware a few years back, and the bundled crap finally killed it. So for a while now, I've been looking for a good player. Seems Iina is that player.
I would agree 100% but it still sound a little bit silly. I cannot even say why do I care so much about this.
One could see that as a different way of achieving what the parent poster said. You set a smaller goal that you can achieve (learn to do the task you need done right now) instead of the nebulous task of "learn the bash shell". They chose to read a book and gain everything in the book (regardless of whether they'd use it or not) and you chose to get something done.

In defense of their side of things, there will be important things in that book that they might never think to try to learn and that might not come up during internet searches for specific problems.

Both sides have merit, IMO.

Yes, it's a huge injustice. Foreign nationals should not be allowed to own property in the US, period. They're turning our housing markets into private casinos, to the detriment of American citizens.
Western Europe uses more characters than ASCII like umlauts (äöü), accents (àèé), €¢, German ß and a few more, but large parts are still comfortably stuck in a codepage-style mindset thinking "ISO Latin-1 is good enough". (Also know as or confused with ISO/IEC 8859-1, CP-1252 or "Ansi".)

This was only true up until LTE. LTE is GSM.
If you strictly looked at published papers on the subject matter and looked at the location of the authors you could do this relatively simple.
I don't think I saw Ringling Bros. back then but around 30 years ago I saw the Moscow circus when they performed on an American tour during Glasnost. I remember it being very exciting, well worth the watch. For other distractions at the time I had a Commodore 64 and plenty of television. Perhaps there has been a lack of entertaining circuses, but even in the 80s the circus was much different from the version in the 30s. Circuses used to show up almost overnight and pop up hastily. They would promote themselves, make a few bucks, and move on just as quickly. By the 80s they performed mostly in arenas, competing not just for attention but also for performance dates with bigger acts that are cheaper to run.
Nobody will have a discussion with you in English using Cyrillic characters either, but not because English is uniquely suited to the Latin alphabet. Obviously people who read and write with Chinese characters all the time are going to prefer what they're familiar with.

The box is a really interesting history of the shipping container. It's looks at the intersection between the technological, political and business aspects of the struggle to introduce a more efficient but highly disruptive technology. It changed the way I think about driverless cars.

> Francophone networks are weak. They are very local, and poor, and for a variety of reasons a little 'self oriented'. This is a Quebec thing, but also a French thing

> An acquaintance calls herself a 'playwright' and she's written 2 tiny productions for the local theatre with 2 actors each - no props or anything. She's late in her 'career' already.

You are making such blanket statements of stereotypes.

The "career" of an artist, as you mention, is not something for you to judge the quality or success of. I suppose that because the great writer Bukowski was still working as an unknown postal worker at age 50 that he was also too late in his career. Or the many other artists with similar "careers". It's not you to judge someone else's artistic output, or for that matter, the quality of a network of people based on the language they speak.

The paragraph focused on carriers in this article makes me wonder : can ubuntu mobile guarantee OEM won't install any uninstallable apps as well?

I only buy nexus phones precisely because I don't want the carriers and OEM stuff, they always have been a bad experience for me. I can see how "build your own bundle" is a selling point for carriers, but it's hardly one for users.

That being said, I'm excited to see a true linux mobile distro. I've tried it on my nexus 7 when most apps were placeholders, can't wait to see a viable one. Any chance to have dual boot?

great website. I think i'm going to start with C++ just so i get a foundation of what a systems language is and appreciate the innovation that Rust brings to the table.

I'd be really curious to know if website format exists for other languages.
For the 10,000 who might be learning about this today, the answer is prepared statements with placeholders for the values, like this pseudocode:

stmt = driver.prepare("insert into names
(firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)");
stmt.execute("Flannery", "O'Connor");

Syntax varies among database interfaces but this ensures that any odd strings are properly stored by the driver and the application does not need to worry about them. There is also no risk of someone rewriting the SQL statement.
It's almost like it's rocket science...Slow and steady beats fast and faulty.
Basic auth is appropriate mostly for non-Internet or single-user applications. It is eg. commonly used as a simple-no-markup-required input where actual authentication is delegated to LDAP/AD. In these instances the application can neither change the password nor create users anyway.
I think there is a relatively simple rule of thumb: If you can reliably memorize the password with moderate effort, it is very likely not safe. The approaches described in the linked article are clever but they do by far not exhaust the possibilities. One big issue is the following: When you try to come up with random words to compose a password, the words that you'll choose are going to be very very non-random. Example: Tell a person to name a random musical instrument. Most people will say violin or piano. Other instruments will rarely be mentioned. Likewise with tools, most people will say hammer or screwdriver. This has something to do with how words are represented in our mental lexicon. There is a lot of research on that that you could easily leverage in software for cracking passwords, at least the type of password that's using supposedly random words.
I agree with the first part of that quote, but when it says "No incentives without disincentives" that's where the bankers would argue that there are disincentives, like the "performance culture" (firing the bottom performing 10% etc). I would disagree with them (the bottom 10% may just be more aligned with reality, or considering the long term for example) but these guys are slippery and will find any means necessary to justify this behaviour.
I was actually interviewed for a radio program the other week that is targeted toward federal employees in the DC area. I was being asked questions about a post I wrote on Medium.

The first question was, what is Medium?

I had to explain that it was just this open-to-anybody blogging platform, and not a personal site of mine. Outside of the tech sphere, it's not so recognizable.
I use Rust primarily because it has very precise mutability semantics: things are either immutable or uniquely mutable. It is much easier to understand what can or can not happen to structures when they are passed between functions, as opposed to, say, Java, where object's lifetime is undefined.

Destruction after last use (RAII) ensures that resources such as files, sockets, db connections are closed. Also unavailable in majority of languages.

Also the language is expressive (type inference, generics, pattern matching, traits).

These three things are the main reasons, although I wish other languages (old or new) would pick up the first idea too.

Couldn't agree more. I was a kid about 15 years ago and I went to circus around that time with a friend's parents. It was extremely boring to me even then (before Youtube and even smartphones). If at any point I'd been offered a chance to go again, even for free, I would have turned it down. I don't consider myself a huge proponent of animal rights (I'm not at all against them it's just not something I think about a lot) but the circus was up there with seaworld for me. It's just sounds excruciatingly boring and I can think of 100 things I'd rather spend my time on.

I'm not sure it's Safari per se. Safari is quite a "thin" layer around WebKit2. By "thin", I mean if you remove all the iCloud stuff, bookmarks, etc. Tab management intelligence is performed by WebKit2 backend process. So I think it's more of a testament to WebKit2 architecture. It's a real shame there is no good browser for Windows using WebKit2.

By observation, I would say, critical times are when couples get into their 50s and kids leave home. I'm yet to know a couple on that situation that looks happy together. People seem to stay in the relationship because leaving is often more 'work' than staying.

Well that's the page's fault, we used to call that "breaking the back button / history". And apparently not enough people think that was big enough of a deal to stop doing it. Unfortunately.

And even Opera tried to keep that too, at least in many situations, to keep the history an actual history and you'd switch through snapshots of the DOM+state--at least that's what it felt like, I'm not sure that's what it really did, but I guess it helps with speed, too. A webpage generally isn't supposed to move or change at all unless you're interacting with it, so really after it's rendered, flipping through history or tabs should be instant, even on an old machine because it's just bitmaps, really. I remember a while ago there was an article here that sort of explained why this couldn't be done or didn't work for some reason, but it was a tradeoff to get some feature that, given the option no one in their right mind would trade for instant history and tab navigation.
Property owners do not get to vote in the USA, not even in the Bay Area. Citizens get to vote.

Citizens that own property are very motivated to vote against construction and so far have shown extreme solidarity against allowing dense construction even in small zones. Meanwhile renters, who appear to be a slim majority of citizens in the area, are not organized and do not vote reliably.

How much any one group may or may not contribute in taxes has very little to do with political outcomes since taxes don't vote. At most there is an indirect effect as city budgets drive strategies to collect more revenue by officials. Those officials still answer only to voting citizens.
Sounds like your collection of friends generally made poor life decisions in their choice of partners and/or have their own emotional hang-ups related to career–life balance, frustrated ambitions, housework, ..

This isnt as far fetched as one may think.

There's a lot of talent in Montreal and great technology has been developed there.

There's a lot more entrepreneurs than many assume from their daily interactions.

Example:

The worlds first visual word processor was developed in Montreal by Stephen Dorsey - well before Gates, Jobs and Woz.

He then went on to develop real time fax over IP in the late 80s / early 90s and owns the patent on t38.

Steve and his company are still active, developing communications tech that's used worldwide.

This is just one example of many I've unexpectedly encountered doing business in the area.

Ok, but who owns them? If the investors are some hedge/mutual funds that invested significant (more than, say, 5%) share of their total capital in Uber or Lyft then you probably can short those funds instead.

An 80% drop is probably achievable, it's also not going to happen. Housing in the US is a horrable mix of bad incentives resulting in a large drag on the economy.

The indirect costs where a taxi is more expencive because rent is more expencive means homeoners should be better off with a drop in prices. However, everyone acts like their own investment is the only important thing.

Even a custom domain on Medium would bring it clearly under their brand (e.g. if this submission didn't have many comments I wouldn't have clicked it, since the title and medium.com signals "low-effort article by someone trying to make some political point", not "company blog"), while from a technical perspective also giving them the option to move later to a different platform without breaking their URLs.

Yup, it's more likely that the current generation of parents don't see the circus as interesting, because they didn't like it when they were kids. I know it is in my case - I found circuses a dark, smelly and sad experience when I was a kid, I have no interest in dragging my own kids there now.

For me it's basically the language you choose when you want to write new project, but don't want it to explode with type error / null deref at runtime and on the other hand you don't want to deal with C segfaulting and writing all the manual memory management yourself.

Also potentially if you want speed closer to C than interpreted script, and don't mind spending a bit more time up front. (offset by the time you don't spend debugging an inexplicable crash later on)
