Mutation Testing: Leaving the Stone Age. FOSDEM 2017 [video]
I've been using .NET professionally and for hobby projects since version 1.1.

While initially sceptical of this new MS platform, I was quickly sold on C# compared to Java: The language just seemed so much better. The base class library was easier to use. The tooling was rock solid. In many (but not all) ways it was just a better Java.

Since then, I must admit I think Microsoft has handled the platform really well. It has made the Java-platform seem quite literally stagnant. First class functions and lambdas first now? Really?

Clearly there's been ups and downs. There was times when Microsoft has seemed dormant and not paying attention to the needs and requests of its developers, happy to have conquered the market for in-house enterprise applications. Some APIs were thrown out as soon as they were delivered to market. There were times when I was about to throw it all out due to Microsoft's best option at the time seeming inferior to pretty much everything else out there (ASP.Net Webforms with AJAX being a particularly frustrating story).

But all in all, it seems they've managed to pull through, to react in time. They've gotten better at listening to the community. Now they've even open sourced it "all" and let us in, allowed us to participate and shape the future of .NET, if we want to.

Yes. I can list a bunch of imperfections which remain with us today (like the .NET Core launch and migration-strategy not being all that convincing), but I'll leave that for another time.

Today, on .NET's 15 birthday, I'll say that I'm happy I invested in .NET those 15 years ago. It's literally paid my house, and I've enjoyed working with it while it did.

Keep up the good work, Microsoft. There's a world of developers out there who appreciate what you do.

Firstly, I would be as nonchalant if Warren or Sanders were being filtered (Adams isn't banned) by Twitter... because... as I say, Twitter is not a public service. If you're going to be angry about Twitter filtering Adams, you should be angry at HN for flagging this article. You should be using this opportunity to educate people about Twitter not being a public service, and how news services that use it for react quotes are doing everyone a disservice (have you noticed now how react quotes these days come from strangers on Twitter, not people near the actual event in question?)

As for Facebook - Facebook already filtered your feed, independent of the 'fake news' thing.
Ah, as opposed to the wikipedia authors? According to you they had a special authority on this subject, never mind any bias?
It shouldn't be. I prefer template engines that I like the syntax and documentation the most.

For low traffic efficacy doesn't matter, for high traffic you should always cache the templates.

I worked on a huge (12TB) bioinformatic project which was using PostgreSQL full text search as a primary component. One would compare with Solr which also was looked at as a possible replacement.

Solr had more functionality (largely by being able to throw more nodes at the problem), but for our purposes, PostgreSQL's fts was certainly good enough. There were a few cases where we had to be careful so the full text index would be used (because data distribution did not always match the planner's assumptions) but on the whole it worked very well.

I acknowledge the capability of the engine which seems rather impressive. But unfortunately it's basically obsolete.

How exactly are designers supposed to easily update? Why reinvent the wheel when far more matured templating engines exist?

As the web moves to the front end, this seems like a step backwards
PgQ, part of Skype's SkyTools package, is a good example of queues in Postgres. It's used by their Londiste, a replication tool that was developed before built-in replication was mature.

I wouldn't have deemed it impressive by 'load testing' AWS Lambda with 139 requests.

Also, a simple Google search would have shown the author that first 1 million requests are free in AWS Lambda, contrary to what he says.
The FBI is a predominantly white organization, over 88%<?> white. The rest are minorities used as pawns and analysts for infiltration and analysis of their respective ethnic populations. There's no way they're going to actively justify and develop a program to target other white terrorists/attackers/etc... They're just like the local police force except with bigger brains and some college degrees.

edit: I'd imagine the Canadian equivalent is the same since the US and Canada share a common background and approach in dealing with perceived threats to their "white supremacy".
Sound like a great idea. I would like to join!
Rare skillset or outstanding talent can be interpreted at different levels in so far as how strong an statement that is. As a percentage of the population, software engineers have a rare skillset, and there is no employment crisis in the field that requires protectionist measures to keep people with said skillset from mass unemployment. The system you are proposing would end with companies having to hire significantly over 25% of their workforce locally. That's not "favoring skilled U.S. workers over lower skilled workers from abroad", that is "restricting our talent pool to 5% of the world population for the most part". You might chose to legislate it thus if you wish, but you would be doing so at your peril.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the system should incentive not hiring Americans because they can resign with more ease, that is absurd. But on the other hand, I don't think the U.S. really benefits over the long run of having a system where the talent market is strongly distorted by citizenship. Let me put it another way, would you think it is a good idea, if it were legal to do so, if California passed a law saying people born out of state should only be able to work here at 75th percentile overall wage for their occupation?

I haven't done this in AWS yet, but I've been growing mounted block devices/disks Google Cloud for a while now. It's more or less just like growing a disk on a SAN.

You still have to grow the filesystem it self though, so if you're trying to grow the root mount, using a partitioned disk, and not using an abstraction like LVM you will need to reboot to be able to use the full disk.

Glad to see AWS catch up in this area.
Let's be brutally realistic.

I truly wish it was a joke. You and countless others have been brainwashed (wikipedia is just one such medium) to believe in the greatness of a group a people who knew nothing but to plunder and kill .. just because their beliefs were different, It is happening even now, around you, yet you are oblivious... maybe until it comes right to your doorstep, by which time it will be too late.

Maybe you mean that the way of the sword works in mysterious ways, one of which is the preservation of great Greek & Roman works? Maybe you have a point... all I am urging you to is to look at this objectively.
It's a from-first-principles guide to building an OS.

From the title, I had mistakenly assumed it was about the first OS ever.
You're ignoring the fact the US already produces a surplus of skilled and qualified STEM professionals. Freedom of labor movement is a nice–to–have, but not some ideological priority that must be placed above all other considerations. The size of the pool of human capital is irrelevant if there simply aren't enough jobs on offer.

The government of a country should be first and foremost advocates for, and protectors of, the welfare of its own citizens. If a large number of those citizens are being encouraged to accumulate massive debts gaining an education that them leaves them unable to find a job, then that is a social problem that needs a solution. And if the government can help the situation by putting reasonable restrictions on the number of foreign workers competing for those jobs, then they absolutely should do that.

I really do not understand how so many people came to view these kind of theoretical, free-market niceties as more important than the practical wellbeing of their fellow citizens, but it's an incredibly dangerous attitude. If you support free-markets and globalisation, then you should want them implemented in a way that doesn't cause major social damage that ends up creating hostility to them. Otherwise, you end up with the kinds of populist movements we're seeing now, which feed upon the resentments of people who've watched successive governments refuse to place their own citizen's welfare above that of an ideology that harms them.
But you have a fairly major problem with all these solutions and that is when a message leaves a queue. For a message queue you want it to leave the queue when delivered. For a job queue you want it to leave the queue when the work is completed but not to be sent out in the mean time. Now imagine you have processing jobs that take two weeks with 16 cores to complete.

That's one thing that makes this a hard problem. If you have open transactions for two weeks "Deleting this...." then autovacuum is going to be totally ineffective. So failure detection and recovery is an important (and probably the hardest) part of the problem.

PgQ looks to me like it is a solution to a message queue problem not a work queue problem.
Small nit: I'm blessedly largely ignorant of Twitter and all of this hullabaloo, though one difference I suspect in moderation is that any flagging of this submission was the result of user action as opposed to any action taken by a mod.
I’m both sorry and surprised about that, since I thought we had documented everything appropriately. The thing to do after installing the mandos-client package, for instance, is to read /usr/share/doc/mandos-client/README.Debian.gz. That file contains the instructions for setting it up, and also the command to verify that it works before rebooting.
What @romanovcode means is : Of course it's free. Someone would have to be certifiably insane to pay you for a pair of numbers. We know it, and you know it. So emphasizing that part as some sort of statement of distinction makes you look hilarious.
When the first iphone came out, it was the only mainstream device to ditch the physical keyboard, allowing for a very large (for the time) touchscreen, while keeping the device thinner and lighter than high-end competitors. This screen, along with pinch to zoom, allowed desktop websites (which were basically all websites at the time) to realistically be used on a mobile device. You certainly could browse websites on other devices, but you wouldn't want to, given a choice. The original iphone is what really started mobile browsing.
Then it's a management/planning problem. Applying too much workforce on something that does not payoff.
It is a cultural thing / mentality coming from the enlightenment (in the western sense;) (and for me this is one of the most important legacy of enlightenment): EVERY ideology is (should be) open for criticism

More criticism, more open discussion leads to more (or at least more educated) freedom of choice.

This, of course, may cause bad feelings in the devoted adherents, but that's a price I happily pay! This critical - "no sacred cow" - mentality have done a lot good to the society, and I definitely would not like to live in pre-enlightment times/places.
Interesting. I was sure from the title that it's about building an OS, but it's fascinating how different people interpret things.

I think the ship on gaming macs has sailed. Apple has shown intermittent interest in high end computing, rendering, compilation and so. But the only "gaming" machine they ever produced is the iPad. None of their PCs was even remotely competitive with the competition and I believe they do not care.

I think that the only thing that could "trick" them into making a gaming machine is VR, as it requires similar hardware.
You mean, like WMD in Iraq? Or Libya? "We came, we saw, he died"?

Ukraine is not in the Nato. If Putin had serious interest in "claiming" it he could do it. And it would make more sense than occupying the Baltic states. He would be able to take the Baltic states. But the Baltic states ARE in the Nato. And they provide little advantage.

How did a Russian say about the Crimea Island? "Another poor region we have to feed...".

I currently see very little interest on Russia's side for geographic expansion. But geography is still on their agenda since "buffer states" have always and will always be part of Russian military strategy.
Yeah, Apple Music integration is unlikely to ever happen here. If you're an Apple Music user, I would project that you're totally locked into iTunes for the foreseeable future.

I did use Swinsian for awhile. While, in broad terms, it satisfied a lot of my requirements in terms of pure functionality, I still found myself frustrated by certain parts of the interface. My criticisms of Swinsian would mostly boil down to small aspects of the design, usability and polish, which, taken collectively, made the experience of using it frustrating and subpar, at least for me. I wanted something that worked just as elegantly and looked just as nice as iTunes does (or used to).

The simple fact that Swinsian doesn't have an equalizer, for example, makes me really wonder whether the developer understands the needs and desires of the power users for whom Swinsian seems to be designed.

Also, an open-source media organizer run by a communicative/responsive developer is much better in the long term than a closed-source, totally proprietary application, in my view.

Postscript: If RAM and CPU use is of any concern, you might be pleased to find that jmc uses significantly less resources than iTunes, with generally superior performance. My personal library numbers around 30,000 tracks; memory use peaks around 200MB when scrolling through the entire library and generally hovers around 100MB.
Arabic and Hindu also refer to civilizations. The name doesn't come from the languages.

I only discovered this as I'm archiving my old emails and Flickr before putting down this ancient account.

I hate what happened to this company.
All of the major tech companies have been on board for a long time (and that was years ago).

I have read the Snowden leaks.

This is one of those times when details matter, and in those details you are wrong.

I wrote this previously[1] about Apple, but it applies here too:

The problem is that PRISM has conflated two separate things, and it is unclear how much of that conflation occurred at the NSA and how much outside.

Apple was (and is) compliant in the "release customer details with a court order" thing, which it seems is part of the PRISM data.

However, there was a second part, where the NSA got bulk access to communications without a court order. It is unclear which companies were complicit in this part. We know Google wasn't (because the NSA slide decks show how they had to intercept Google's inter and intra-data center links which were unencrypted at the time - and Google undertook a crash program to fix that).

Apple's statements are pretty clear: they say they only release information with a court order. That means they weren't complicit in bulk collection - but they may have been hacked at the time like Google was.

Okay so its not the new Macbook we're talking about here. I think I may have the same one, I bought it in 2014 and I love it. It still takes everything I throw at it, and it connects to everything. Full SSD which I was wary of at first but once you get used to no moving parts - which don't break - it's hard to imagine going back to clunky spinning platters.

I'd be hard pressed to go for the new MBPs though. My 2014 is so light it barely registers as it is. I'd prefer to keep the same degree of connectivity and utility. The new one I'm afraid seems a bit much of show pony.

I'm concerned with the direction Apple's software is taking as well. Others here mention the abandonment of the high end, with regards to photography, video, music etc. but even the middle-ground is a mess. iTunes keeps getting clunkier and clunkier to the point where I'm seriously considering not getting an iPhone because that's the last reason I need to use it at this stage.

I think the Photos app leaves a lot to be desired as well. A lot of people moaned about iPhoto - but to me it seemed way better.

Then there was Yosemite, which is actually the only dark period in my MBP's life. Things would just mysteriously stop working, and regular reboots were fairly common. What particularly stands out is that fiasco around mDnsResponder / Discoveryd - which ironically most acutely affected users with a mostly Apple ecosystem.

Each of these three instances, as well as other notables such as Apple maps, are cases where Apple just couldn't "leave well enough alone"; took something that worked okay and foisted a big steaming pile of dog poo on us instead.

In fairness though the emphasis seems to be on "think different" these days rather than "it just works" but it may as well be "software is hard, lets go shopping".

Sorry, I seem to have gone way off on a tangent here. Though I feel the general sentiment is still OT. Thanks!

Like almost everything in Computer science there would be no clear definition of first OS ever. There used to be monitor programs and schedulers before they iteratively evolved into OS programs. Just like, programming languages, servers, 'cloud'... There seldom is a first ever something in our field.

I'm a writer, and I consider myself a "pro" in that field. I don't really need the power of the Macbook Pro, but I do need a larger retina screen. The Macbook Pro is really the only laptop Apple makes at the moment that fits my needs.

I'm not sure why people who need high performance are so sniffy and condescending about those who don't. A requirement for massive computer resources doesn't make the work more valuable or respectable. Your moral worth is not linked to the number of processors you require to get your work done.

Or that the private sector only caters to the top end of the market and will never cater to the the lower ends. Where do you get that the government didn't allow them to make up the shortfall? What you're claiming is that the planning permissions were tightened just enough so that despite twice the demand there was no real increase in housing built?

Housing is something that is too important to leave to just market forces because it isn't really a market. Land is scarce and you can't import to make up the shortfall. Additionally the government has committed to providing housing for the less fortunate which means that they now have to pay market rents further inflating prices. Everyone is better off if they just go back to building houses.

Just saying build in the green belt will not achieve much. It'll divert developers from building on brownfield and lead to even more of a sprawl than there currently is in cities like London.
It's 76Wh in 2016 vs 99Wh in 2015 -- a 24% smaller battery. To have the same battery time, it must draw 24% less current than it did with the 2015 model.

Secondly, we should always compare watts instead of amps unless we know the batteries have the exact same voltages.

For example, for a battery life of 18h it must draw 4.2W on average (76Wh/18h). I don't think that's possible because only the 2016 MacBook uses that little power -- 4.1W (41Wh/10h).

great one! simple, good-looking and fast.
While I agree that buy to let inflates prices a tiny bit the biggest issue is still lack of supply. For all the cheap credit out there many can still not get a house. It's not that they can't afford to pay the mortgage (often mortgages are cheaper than renting) it's that they can't get a mortgage big enough because you can only get a mortgage at 5 times your salary.

In the best case if developers were forced to build once they had planning permission rather than sitting on land and the government built houses like it used to the problem would be mostly gone within a decade.
