We have offices in different regions and some workers are fully remote (and others are sometimes-work-from-home).

Our hangout usage is mostly for meetings, which are just check-ins and planning meetings. Typically during the course of a meeting several people will briefly screenshare what they're working on, and a typical meeting involves multiple time-zones and states (although we're all US-based).

Sometimes pairing is done using hangouts, which isn't the best solution, but also isn't overly inhibiting. We are a small company, but > 15 developers.

I've never wanted to drive the coworker's screen, however I could see how that could be useful in many cases.

I'm not particularly thrilled with hangouts, in the same way I'm not particularly thrilled with, say, ssh--but it has always gotten the job done and allowed me to share my screen with others painlessly.
Are you stating that death from cardiovascular disease would be higher (or lower) from people who don't eat fruits/vegetables which means they have a "lower" chance of getting cancer?

My guess would be that they didn't take that into account and that the deaths from cardiovascular (or other diseases) would be ignored in the assumption they are "similar" between the two sides.

That's advertisers themselves doing a bad job of retargeting. First-party data is probably not going to change that. In fact, it may mean you'll just get those ads across all your devices.

Sorry, should've said that the security releases are 3 years after release or 18 months from the time they were removed from the Google Store [0]. So as a minimum they get 1 year more than required by EU law.

Like I said, I don't really agree with it, but Google do seem a bit above the average. And personally, so long as I can install custom ROMs afterwards, I'm okay with 3 years of official updates.

The point is that according to ordinary QM, any of the states you can construct via superposition are physical.

Eg for the qubit, the state space is the Bloch sphere, which is continuous.
I'd love for this to be true. Do you have a reference for this? Baobab trees are spectacular in their own right. Might the usage in the Little Prince be just a coincidence?
> its also worth noting that fruit is sugar water. its 98-99% water + 2% sugar and fiber

Oranges, apples, etc are only 85% water. Grapes 80%. The rest is fiber and is likely why your body tells you to stop eating them. Two and a half apples is a lot less appealing than a can of soda (actual sugar water).

The whole percent water thing is completely meaningless though, human brains are 85% water and babies are 80%.
Yeah. Long-haul fiber that never interconnects directly with the pstn is not part of the pstn. If I order metro Ethernet over fiber to an ISP with a network that peers at a few public IX and privately with Comcast, Google and Facebook, there's no voice framing or call switching underlying most of my traffic.
> This was a hack necessary because the design of the library wasn't fully thought out.

Easy to say 'not fully thought out'. It took Java from version 1.2 to 1.8 to fix its date/time library.
Your comment is similar to how I feel about Clojure. It's "good enough" for me for most things. Whenever I need something fast, that's what I grab for first. But, it feels "mushy" after +10k lines of logic, and I'm wishing it was F# or Haskell. I think I just need to bite the bullet and only use Haskell from now on. If it's slower at first, meh, it'll catch up when it grows.
Another problem here is that unix DEs in general (and this includes even proprietary ones like CDE and 4Dwm) tended to solve problem that was cool in the mid 90's but then stopped to be relevant: having consistent cross-application object-oriented model for documents and preferably everything the user wants to manipulate. When you have multiple competing frameworks to implement this (and each KDE and Gnome went through at least one backward-incompatible reimplementation of this) you end up with applications that work only as part of the same framework. The whole OLE/COM/ActiveX on Windows is mechanism meant for exactly this and is used almost everywhere (Explorer window is COM component that displays COM components and the whole thing has exactly zero concept of files and directories).

This whole mechanism is in fact one great waste of time because the probably only meaningful user-facing application for this is embedding Excel charts in Word documents and in that case it is too generic and has some surprising behaviors that confuse users (I assume that what happens when you open document that has embedded OLE object for which there is no installed application has at least something to do with why Microsoft started selling Office instead of separate components) and can perfectly be implemented completely internally by the office suite, LibreOffice has internal system for this and nobody seems to care. One would assume that the useful use-case is more general, like "embedding picture-like things into Word documents", but I've never seen Word document that is actually useful and embeds something other than Excel chart or maybe worksheet, particularly I've never seen Visio diagram in Word document as an OLE object instead of image.

Currently KDE has it's KParts that are actually used in the implementation of KDE and KOffice, but Gnome seems to have completely dropped any such idea (which probably makes sense because their implementation that involved CORBA and could at least in theory work between X clients running on different physical computers was horribly over-engineered and probably was never used for anything that both worked reliably and was actually useful for end user).
I recommend Baobab, its been around for ages and is on pretty much every distro's repo already.

Not much; Zorro is basically the 68000 bus protocol, while NuBus is more general. But it's just a multiplexed address/data bus with a selectable 8/16/32-bit l word size for data transfers, it can be implemented with a simple state machine.

All you really need are the level shifting buffers just as with the Zorro interface, and enough I/O for the 50-some NuBus signals. That breaks down to 32 address/data lines, a few NuBus control lines, and some lines to control the level shifting buffers.
I don't think you calculations are entirely right. Let's consider home of price X. Most people would have to pay 20% down (you can get a loan for that too, but that would be overleveraging so let's ignore it). Let's say prices go down 10%. You lose 0.1X of your down payment, or half of it. Let's say you have to sell and move to another place, where you want to buy a similar house, now costing 0.9X. You need to put up 0.18X downpayment for this. However, after the sale you only have 0.1X (ignoring the sale costs, which can easily cost you another 0.05X-0.06X and making situation even worse). So you're now have to come up with 0.08X cash, and fast, otherwise you don't have a place to live in. Most people don't have this much free cash just laying around - it'd be in tens of thousands of dollars. If you are moving into more expensive home, the situation would be even worse.
It's not really comparable because their boards have a limited number of active posts and the bigger boards get so much traffic anything is gone within a few minutes. So if you complain about something and they don't respond within the hour, it's gone anyway.

Still they have big problems with spam, ddos attacks and moderator turnover and that is after they delegate the bigger problems to /b to be mostly ignored.
It seems rather paradoxical that in a culture that embraces choice, some choices are more choice than others.
...sure it would? Cooperatives of various sorts are a time-tested method of corporate organization, and plenty of them exist as corporations and make money in capitalist systems.
Systems are relationships between input from the environment, algorithms/functions to process it, and output to the environment. Basically programs at a high-level representation. Systems analysis, design, and implementation started with basic control systems far as I can tell. At some point, there was a distinction between "systems" and "application" programming made by whoever. Original meaning of the term covered all programming where you then picked tools (eg languages) best suited for particular task.

Go's predecessors... Oberon-2, C, and Limbo... were two languages for OS's plus a distributed, systems language. Go's core is the first two with last being mainly for concurrency IIRC. That with ability to do unsafe stuff makes me think of Go as a systems language used mainly for regular applications.

In my experience, this is generally true, but the Japanese diet is changing rapidly. I came to Japan almost 10 years ago and I remember seeing quite traditional lunch boxes (called bento) in the convenience stores. Now everything is deep fried, or comes with fairly large portions of meat. Unless you go to a specialised bento store, it's pretty difficult to get a bento with a piece of fish, vegetables and rice.

Also, with the reduced restrictions on imports, I've seen a veritable explosion of steak restaurants and yaki niku places (Korean barbeque). Now that they can get cheap pork from Canada and cheap beef from Australia, meat has gotten very popular. The meat sections of the grocery stores in my area are about the same size as the fish section. And even the small town I live in has the same number of butchers as they do specialty fish stores.

Having said that, it's still not difficult to eat a traditional Japanese diet and certainly older people tend to eat that way. Not sure what will happen in the next generation or two, as the culture is shifting (to my eyes, anyway). It may be for the best, though, as global fish stocks are shrinking in an alarming way.
>> Interesting fact to mention, except "construction materials" != asphalt.

Asphalt shingles are building materials, and it is definitely true that demand for construction materials in Texas is rising. Texas has a few shingle plants, and there are others in nearby states.

So we might say that "construction materials" != road building materials (though Texas is always in the process of building roads), and also that "asphalt demand" isn't entirely dependent on road building.
That's simple - whenever any of your personal or business contacts grants access to their contact list to some app, "everyone in the world" obtains a mapping between your mobile phone number (that they had), your full name and nicknames (that they entered manually) and likely your other identities as well (e.g. emails, various IM providers, etc) that they linked to you in their contact list.

It's the same with facial recognition - to avoid it, it's not enough to never post your pictures, you'd also need to ensure that noone who knows you would ever tag you in some picture they have.

Ohh. That part I didn't actually get. That's actual money.

I apologize: I... I thought this was a concept, with the "money" being abstract. I'm kind of more impressed now (although slightly stunned - but not in a negative way).

I do get the rationale behind actually involving real money: I figured it would create a sense of focus and eliminates noise. And then I had a look at the prototype. :)
It's the recognizability, not the terseness, that brings clarity.

Although Python's approach is not terse -- `fstyle = [f(x) for x in arr]` -- it is eminently recognizable.

Your argument is not really about anything I specifically said; and without something to counterbalance, it argues against structured programming, too.
> One of their 'crazy, batshit insane,' conspiracy theories was that the government was recording all of our phone calls.

There may be many such circumstances, but certainly not the one you mention: the government doesn't record all of our phone calls.
I'd be tempted to think they decided to solve the logistics challenge instead of the technical one. So instead of trying to build a generic piece of hardware that detects its own position and lights up accordingly, each torch was unique (or configured via software to be unique, even if at "runtime") and configured specifically for its exact position on the field.

If each torch is designed for it's own show, then the only thing that has to be synced is the exact time to start. And in comparison, that problem is trivial to solve with known constraints (as opposed to triangulating hundreds of devices with < 1ft precision in addition to actually synchronizing the devices)
Yes. In Go, function and method calls are the primarily, perhaps only, mechanism of abstracting computational complexity. That is, when you see a function or method call, you know that "anything goes" back there, and you need to dig and find out what the computer is gonna be doing. Pretty much everything else is implemented "in plain sight"; in the case of fold/map, that means with a for loop, where you see precisely how many iterations you're going to step through.

You're right: map separates looping mechanics from computation. In Go, that's a bit too much obscurity.

That doesn't cover airline bookings that happened via travel agent or directly into the booking system. Many airline reservation systems pre-date the internet (SABRE, for example, came online in 1964), and much of the architecture driving the airline industry is archaic (which is one reason why a system outage can have such a massive impact on flights).

How did your software work, what techniques was it using, and what was the surrounding context relating to the data that was fed in and the output the model gave?

It's probably just a matter of time. Because all software ecosystems goes through its phases of "maturity" regarding testing.

Not too long ago (in human-years, not internet-years). Most node packages weren't built with unit testing. Now its quite common in the popular packages.

Website UI is probably the same thing. After all, it took us a really long time till we got the whole HTML5 spec finally stabilised.

So you will probably see the tipping point occur over the next 10 human years, or less.

And just like you I been really frustrated with the inadequacy of UI testing tools, especially with Selenium. So like @donaltroddyn, I set out to develop my own UI testing tool (https://uilicious.com/), to simplify the test flow and experience.

So wait around, you will see new tools, and watch them learn from one another. And if you want to dive right into it, we are currently running close beta.

Hi,

Burp Suite Pro is indeed the tool of the trade when performing penetration testing of web applications. I would however not call it an automated tool.

While it contains some automated test functionality (Active Scan), using this functionality will by no means give you a conclusive answer on whether there are vulnerabilities present in your application.
As an example in my case, I use Active Scan together with other tools and techniques to perform attack surface analysis, so figuring out interesting parts of the application that can receive some priority when looking for bugs.

I would strongly suggest to enlist the help of a professional security company to perform the security assessment and to also verify whether the application and system in question has been compromised in the previous attack.

That being said, I do indeed think it's a good idea to use tools like Burp during the development cycle, and also to invest in secure development training.
FB pay plus the substantial NSA bonus perhaps? Maybe also the added benefit of access to NSA career networking (even assistance to land those top jobs in the first place)?

All supposition on my part of course.

How did you get started learning about FPGA?
Yeah, I would agree that in that sense, React is a framework. You call ReactDOM.render(), but from there it instantiates your components and calls their lifecycle methods as appropriate.

On the flip side, it's nowhere near as all-encompassing as Angular or Ember. No built-in AJAX handling, no complex data model manipulations, no preferred project architecture. So in that sense, it's much closer to the library side of things.
I noticed this in Beijing in 2007 (I'm a wheelchair user, so I'm looking at the sidewalk a lot). Here's a photo of one of those bumpy yellow paths leading straight to a steep flight of stairs under Tiananmnen Square! I've always thought back to it as a perfect example of things people try to implement in order to help disabled people but that have the opposite effect of help. Anyway, a good example of a well-meant but bad user interface!
