Hi there, I'm on the RunKit team.

I think we've all been in a situation where we have a bug reproducing in front of us but when we ask for help by describe or even give code to someone else they say "hmm, it works on my machine". Since software rarely runs in a vacuum, having better system level access can sometimes be the only way to debug it.

Our hope here is that RunKit notebooks make it easier to see what's wrong, even when the problem is less obvious.
I plan on adding a React API for the bodymovin library in addition the react native library. They will likely have identical interfaces.

"Deep fissures within the ruling regime"? Deep fissures, sure, between the President and the majority of the Senate, who are of the other party. It seems a bit of a stretch to call Democrats and Republicans together "the ruling regime", though.

"Fragile political system"? More fragile than it used to be, but not yet fragile. We weathered that mess with barely a sweat.

"Months of chaos"? Not even.

That is: The language doesn't fit the reality in the US, whereas it often does fit the reality of the third world.
the problem is docker builds aren't really reproducible; e.g. if you're using ubuntu, you have to do apt-get update or your apt-get installs will fail with 404s.

i also haven't used nix, but i hear it truly solves the problem.
There's an onion icon next to the FPS slider... Is that what you're looking for?
Writing web code in c isn't my idea of easy to maintain
I mean, it's wholly owned by The Beatles and their estates, and AFAICT it's sole raison d'être is to protect their IP.
Right. How would we tease that apart? When two people have the same years of experience in the same job title, but then one of them gets a new title and the other one doesn't-- what is that? Just from the data, we won't really know whether it's discrimination or difference in ability.

It'd be cool if we could have objective measurements of productivity. But if we could have objective measures of productivity, I wouldn't be wasting my time with macro data analysis, I would be selling the system to companies and trying to get rid of subjective employee reviews.
I learned on VB.Net maybe ~15 years ago now, and back then all the english like 'end sub' and 'end if' really really helped me understand the code. Honestly languages that used brackets looked like voodoo to me at the time. Of course later when I understood that brackets were faster to write and conveyed the structure just the same, I converted and became a sneering hipster.
Somebody's trying to help? Better find an unhelpful way to complain about it.
The oath appears funny, in modern times.

Are you familiar with the US naturalisation oath? It goes like this:

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

You can also test Rancher now easily 0 setup: https://try.rancher.com

We deploy all our containerized applications to Rancher (using Cattle for orchestration) via Jenkins jobs with a standardized Makefile for build, test, and deploy, making things consistent.

We look at running straight k8s, but it was like using a chainsaw to sharpen a pencil for our use case.

In addition their devs are extremely helpful and also have a hobby of getting things to run on ARM.
I don't need pixel editors a lot, but I've definitely used Piskel a few times in the past for making some simple icons. It's not perfect, but works well enough for me.

> doubled-down on Hillary the loss wasn't just technical––it was a landslide

Is this your first election? Consider even just the last one: Obama vs. Romney. Obama performed far worse than he did in his previous election, and it was absolutely no landslide. Maybe 2008 was a landslide, but not 2012.

Yet in 2012 Obama won more electoral votes than Trump (332 instead of 304), and won the popular vote by 3.9%, instead of losing it by 2.1%.

Trump won, yes, but the idea that it was a landslide is patently foolish, and makes the rest of your message weaker. If you're so easily misled on the details, why would I have any confidence in your bigger picture?
I wouldn't say it's required, no. There are many reformulations of quantum probabilities. The approach often taken in QBism is to model the state of a quantum system using a restricted subset of the full probability simplex.

For example, a spin-1/2 particle has three degrees of freedom (x, y, z), each of which can be measured to be up or down. The state of the particle is uniquely defined by the probability it associates to each measurement outcome. These are ordinary probabilities between 0 and 1. However certain probability distributions are disallowed, such as deterministically measuring up in all three directions.
Nice to have a tax write-off too for FB. (Settlement sums can be offset against profits iirc)
>"Microsoft has been trying to kill Visual Basic since 2005"

Where do you get that idea from?

Perhaps it's because of confusion over the name Visual Basic. Microsoft have deprecated VB, but not VB.NET. The name 'Visual Basic' has been applied to both, but they're not the same language. Microsoft's support for VB.NET is stronger than F#, and second only to C#.
Any publicity is good publicity, right? :D
The sneering may be driven by those who are stuck in VB6. My company is still in the middle of replacing a huge VB6 code base with a C# web based system, and doing anything in VB6 with the VB6 IDE is a nightmare in comparison.
well its the only English language broad sheet paper that finds it necessary. I agree with the previous answer it screams of pretension.
i agree with the article in that: if you want to take the screw into account, you look at the histogram. as a single number, I dont think the mean tells you anything about the skew/tail of the data any better than the median.

Seems like confirmation bias. I always think of nosql databases when I'm thinking about terrible data loss stories, I especially remember the couchDB one. Postgres has been nothing but amazing for my uses.
I'm getting TLS 1.2 using anaconda on the latest update of Mac Sierra (10.12.3). The openssl is one installed by the conda command of anaconda, openssl version: 1.0.2j-0

I also have homebrew on the system, but not used in this case. Is there any reason not to use anaconda on Mac?

Seems to be exactly like that
There is only one piece of "news" (possibly speculation) in this article: that they may offload some processing to the ARM coprocessor as a transitional step. Interesting idea!

But the idea that they have the Mac OS running on their own ARM chips -- Apple shareholders should be annoyed if the company weren't doing this.

OS X was running for a long time on Intel before anyone decided to make Intel based Macs.
Robot barista now serving in SF cafe
grzm, Thanks. I feel like there is brigading going on. But I was wrong to call out a user. And obviously if people want to down vote that's their right.

I didn't delete it because if I make a mistake I own it. When I realized calling out another user was probably not right it was too late.

If you read through my comments you'll see that although I sometimes post on controversial topics, I'm not a troll.

Again, thanks for jumping in here.

Edit: but know, every time I reply to you I get down voted.
The company may have already reserved 500M for a potential resolution and took the hit in a previous quarter. This is typical of many companies, which is why you sometimes see stock prices rise after a legal settlement that comes in much lower than anticipated.

For example, suppose they set aside 1B legal reserve for this case. That hit was already taken. Now they would reclaim 500M of that, which would be accretive.
This, it depends more on the product and the requirements. I've worked in companies that are just a few employees and are running databases larger than this. I've also worked for a company with ~100 employees whose only 'database' is an in memory cache and a few kilobytes big textfile
No, not for s-maxage seconds.
Thank you. Misjudging the proportional "gravity" of an issue is not equivalent to lying. But when affect has replaced logic as the value system you use in evaluating media, then I guess it is.
It's worth mentioning that another reason C# is popular is because of the strong commitment to backwards compatibility. I can write something in C# and be fairly confident that it will still work a decade from now. That kind of reliability makes me willing to invest significant capital into C# development.

Instead be snarky and annoyed and tank the interview by being a passive aggressive jerk?
This is not something you can make people do through education though. Even among people i know that are highly educated and have achieved top marks and went to the best companies, there are those who just don't give a shot about politics. They are not interested enough to look or dig further.
Joining the chorus to say, why on earth not? And what in the announcement made you think that there was some litmus test?

This might earn me down votes, but it is an honest question. I understand that a segment of the population, accustomed to their status as "default human", feel like they're losing that, and I can empathize. (In fact, I am a member of that cohort wrt most checklist identity-traits people think of.) I also understand that folks with minority viewpoints are used to never seeing their preferred policy implemented. (Again, this describes me; many of my policy preferences are anathema to the majority, just along different dimensions than Trump voters I know.) And I understand this election was a lot more acrimonious than, I think, any in living memory.

That said, the question is about the (to me) bizarre defensiveness of Trump voters. Your team won, and has a freer hand than most presidents ever get. Why are you pretending you're oppressed?
I feel like the information in the article is incredibly useful, but like you, I found the gifs distracting to the point of absurdity. I've never seen this show, but is it good enough such that you would have it strewn all over your good information? The font choice and color definitely didn't help. I guess it is the whole signal to noise question in action.

I think the "business people" are people who hide their technological inadequacy behind supposed business expertise. A businesses success is not determined by whether or not they use tools that adhere to business micro-cultural "values".

If "too much transparency" is a turn off for you, you're probably just an authoritarian trying to scheme and scam your way into profit, and you probably lack the confidence required to put whatever skill you think you have on display.
Yup, that's always been Microsoft's strength.

I remember hearing epic stories from ex-MS coworkers about the internals of CreateFile/Read/etc. All sorts of convolutions to keep back compat with things from the win31 and earlier days. Painful to work on as a developer but great for customers.
Why are you disappointed? VB is not exactly javascript, meaning it's easy to avoid writing it if you try. And for that matter, what exactly is your complaint about VB?
It provides a lot of the same features as GitHub, only you can self-host for free, contribute to development, and all the other niceties of a free project. A lot of people (myself included, and OP I suspect) believe it's also a particularly good project because GitHub has too much market share and influence in the free software ecosystem for a for-profit company.
This all all fun until the reporters trying to contact Google for comments are met by an automatic system that refers them to a blog post that refers them back to the first automated system.

As long as it's still x86/AMD64 we're good. I really don't want to see PPC/Intel fragmentation again.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm never buying an Oculus product again, I'm just saying that I completely understand the accusation that the Rift was nothing without Carmack.
Pardon my confusion, but I thought that some time back Microsoft abandoned the effort to write all their stuff in managed code under .NET ..
Sounds similar to big.LITTLE where by big are Intel cores for performance and power nap and maybe in the future less power intensive tasks are handled by LITTLE (ARM part).

Identity politics are garbage. Nobody really cares about your status as a transgender--it doesn't give you the special right to break the rules or to say stupid things about journalism and journalistic integrity. In essence, your firing is a moment for reflection, a chance to grow up and learn to be objective because that's what we expect of journalists, not this partisan schlock that masquerades as news.

You should at least treat Trump fairly--he's putting the people of the United States first and foremost, a concept that hasn't happened in decades. I'm not sure why that has been labeled 'racist' since it is quite clear there is racial inclusion going on. But the left just can't stop with its idiotic "literally Hitler" bs long enough to see that, or they don't want to see that because it flies in the face of statism, collectivism, and a bunch of other stupid 'isms' that are long past the point of needing to evaporate.
Large fines like these, even if the facts are clear, do not support competition and seem anti-consumer and anti-innovation. Either the fines should be smaller or the laws changed to better balance what concretely happened: a poaching of a key employee that led to the development of a big product.

That being said, Facebook doesn't really seem to have its R&D figured out. It's poisoned by bad leadership. Palmer Luckey managed to disgrace himself in public opinion in a way that seems hostile to recruiting the kind of progressive, free-thinking talent that makes up most R&D teams. John Carmack, besides his political leanings, speaks derisively of "Hollywood people" (Oculus users) and came out of this lawsuit looking like a real jerk chasing a huge check at any cost. At the end of the day, he betrayed a video game company.

Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of leadership faults disguised behind an amateurish ownership structure that puts him outside of public accountability. Despite its huge head start, Oculus is seriously threatened by HTC, Sony, Google and Samsung. Paper and Facebook payments didn't really go anywhere. Though Instagram and WhatsApp seem to be good acquisitions, even at their extraordinary prices, a broken clock can still be right twice a day. And it doesn't really take leadership to spend huge amounts of money on acquisitions—that's the easy way out. Outside of Facebook, his New Jersey schools efforts were not well regarded. Will his $3 billion commitment to a SF Biohub be marred by similar issues? I'm just nervous is all.

I think market sentiment will catch up with this ruling. Eventually someone's going to ask if he's the right guy to be in charge of Facebook. The public investor may never actually have the power to do something about it.
Given (MOS 6502) Microsoft BASIC was the company's first product, BASIC has been such a deep part of the Microsoft DNA, I couldn't imagine Microsoft discontinuing VB. I'm not sure a BASIC-less Microsoft would still be Microsoft. It almost seems easier for me to imagine a Microsoft without Windows than one without VB or some successor to VB.
Relying on insurance is not without its risks as the former Lloyds names found out - all it takes is 2 or 3 black swan events and a lot of insurance companies could get wiped out
