I work with Linux professionally and generally like it as a server solution, and also as a developer, but if I would be a city mayor, I would not switch to it from Windows in the first place, unless at least the country government would do such a step first.

> In fact, although the proposal associates MS Office document formats with the “industry standard” concept, it should be clear that all MS Office documents are proprietary and obfuscated, and therefore inappropriate for interoperability.

Sorry, but this is utter BS. MS Office is a de facto standard, and LO is not compatible with it - it can't correctly open more complex MS Office documents. I should know, since I periodically evaluate it. So the reality is, that MS Office ensures much greater interoperability as LO. Or maybe I am just missing something and we are talking only about server solutions? For example - mayor secretary receives a document from some government agency, in docx format, and LO can't correctly open it. Now what is the fallback solution?
Looks too old school to me :\

I think the idea here is to get a modern look with minimal code. Like the first page shows (the one without styling) it's easy to create a light weight website, it's hard to make it look like its from 2017.
We use Hangouts pretty extensively (2300 employees) but for anything involving more than 4 people we've switched to Zoom; all of the OP's problems creep up quickly and intermittently in Hangouts.

Also we keep WebEx around for screen control, it seems still best bang/buck for that.
Editorial notes:

The questionnaire seems to be missing "desktop (GUI) apps" and probably "mobile apps" in "What you'd pay for?" section.

Also, the "time/effort" was weird for me; I don't feel it matches "funding" which sounds like money to me — or I didn't understand what it's intended to mean.

Some general thoughts:

On a related note, personally I don't like paying until I tried an app. But then OSS apps often ask for payment only just before/after downloading. I think a deferred approach is one of the reasons which helped me pay (donate) for the single OSS app for which I've done so yet: Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/). While the main reason was that it really struck me that it's an awesome, polished and easy to use app (especially for non-technical users in my family) while I was downloading it to n-th computer one day, it also shows some non-obtrusive but visible encouragement in its GUI (a big heart icon — feels encouraging, not nagging) reminding to consider donation.

From other somewhat interesting approaches, Aseprite (https://www.aseprite.org/) is actually GPL IIUC, but it provides the binary only with payment — thus more convenient (esp. for non-technical users, who I assume are majority of the targeted users group, i.e. artists) — although you can still just download and compile the sources for free. I'm very curious to what extent it's actually working for the author!

Moreover, I felt quite nice about itch.io's (http://itch.io/) approach, where a publisher can pick a "payment-optional" model. But as written above, I'd prefer to be gently reminded in-game from time to time (@leafo? whaddya think? feature idea for Refinery?). Also, I didn't really find a good enough game for me on itch yet, for which I'd feel like paying, unfortunately.

Finally, I think it'd be easy for me to pay for OSS games (dunno about other apps?) which would be parts of a bundle (ideally on gog.com; maybe Humble Bundle too, but as much as it started the bundles trend in awesome way, I feel it's fallen in quality and open-ness for me at some point in the past). I'm already paying for bundles, so if an OSS game got in there, I probably wouldn't even notice I can have it for free (nor I would complain later if I noticed, I believe). Though if it'd be explicit, I think I'd pay anyway (custom? convenience?).

P.S. Now that I think of it, seems what I describe here is kinda variation of "in-game/in-app purchases". Hm, maybe they could be also linked to some specially tricky features of an app, e.g. using some feature would also display non-obtrusive info "this feature was really tricky/took much love to implement/and is unique on market — a donation as act of gratitude would be an awesome gesture of appreciation!" obviously with an easy link.

Also, I think receiving a code enabling personalized label/annotation "Paid for by $DONATING_USER" could be a really cool bonus touch.

How a poker-playing AI is learning to negotiate better than any human
>Here's what this means. Intel has about 10% advantage in process technology. Yet despite that, AMD's chip is still 10% smaller than Intel's chip. That gives AMD an effective 20% architectural advantage over Intel for similar performance.

The key is the "similar performance" part.

Intel can just as well sacrifice 10% of their die too and get the same, or better, performance as AMD.

Does it make sense? No. Does it make AMD's chip in any way better? Only if it's smaller AND faster / more efficient (which it is not). And even if it was, it would only matter if AMD could sustain it -- which it hasn't proven it can.

I remember of the studies perhaps better than I remember the studies, but the gist is that there's a hierarchy of playground surfaces. I thought it was:

grass < sand < wood < rubber

but I suppose it's more like

grass < wood < sand < rubber

Regardless, sand does appear to be considered acceptable by CPSC guidelines[1], in which they recommend ATSM F1292 tested wood fibers, pea gravel, sand, rubber mulch, non-CCA-treated wood mulch, and recommend against asphalt, concrete, carpet not tested to ATSM F1292, dirt, grass, and CCA-treated wood mulch.

Apologies for the error, and thanks for the correction.

How heavy are you may I ask? I am 90kg, I can do a mile in 5.45 (tested in an army reserves fitness test) and don't feel I can deadlift more than 220kg safely, but then again I can do many reps of that.

That was indeed my point. The NRA gets their goals accomplished. They successfully killed bills - even after Sandy Hook - that they had supported 20 years before.

Name one restriction on guns that the NRA hasn't killed since the Assault Weapons ban in the 90s (and they killed that by killing its renewal).

How to Measure ROI from DevOps and IT Tools
I take more pride/pleasure by understanding through reading. Somehow I don't trust my brain not to go into a visual form of rote learning by replicating what the video said.

Books are a bit more painful, but forces my brain to actually make sense of abstractions actively instead of passively (which is not always the case on videos, but a lot more probable).

Also, libraries are a good place to reflect.
Actually that's not correct. The standard says the behavior is up to the compiler. The compiler author took that as a license to produce a non truth preserving transformation of the code. The actual current clang behavior also satisfies the standard as written.
IMO the hope lies in the fact that many vendors do not depend on privacy invasions in their main business model, e.g. Amazon or Panera will sell me roughly the same stuff regardless of which photos I was staring at yesterday. Selling my info on the side is a profitable add-on, but not strictly required for their main business. Maybe unnecessary tracking will eventually be competed away (this does require that a much large fraction of users starts caring about privacy).

One could also introduce confusers -- e.g., setup some "light anonymizing portals" that will add / swap / scramble non-critical cookie data. Done right it should be possible to keep almost all of web functionality intact without introducing a security nightmare, but to work well this also needs a viable business model.
That's not very hard.[0]

> If you intend to test for leaks using other third-party sites, I recommend using Tor browser, because it's been hardened to block WebGL fingerprinting, and otherwise to report the same fingerprints for all users. But you obviously don't want to use Tor while testing your VPN. First, download Tor browser for your OS. Do that with your VPN connected, so your ISP doesn't see. After extracting, start Tor browser. You can probably accept all defaults. Go to advanced network settings, and select "No proxy". Browse about:config, and toggle both "extensions.torlauncher.starttor" and "network.proxy.socksremote_dns" to "false". Then browse check.torproject.org. You should see "Sorry. You are not using Tor." and your VPN exit IP address.

Most of my customers are located in a different city than the one I live and work in. You'd think videoconferencing would be perfect for someone like me.

But no, once or twice a month I rent a car and drive ~225km to meet with them personally. I supplement these in-person meetings with phone calls.

I'm not sure I've ever had a videoconference call go perfectly smoothly, and I found that these kinds of calls added all sorts of invisible friction to the customer relationship. My goal as a service provider is to take problems away from my customer, not to add new ones or make them feel technically inept.

My travel days are long and tiring, but most of my customers actually forget that I'm not local, which is exactly how I like it.

I'm sorry, but that is not what the current standard, no matter its weaknesses, requires. The standard says that dereferencing a null pointer results in undefined behavior. The compiler writer chose to (a) deduce that the pointer dereference was not an oversight and (b) then produce a pointless "optimization" that compounded the error. Compiling the dereference to a move instruction is perfectly compatible with the standard.

+1 for separating the two sports. Grip strength is rarely a limiting factor in weightlifting though.
Yeah, I'm skeptical about that though, as I still see lowest requests in the 400ms range when hitting the API Gateway with serious load (say 100k requests running at a 400 req. concurrency level). Also, even if you cache SSL sessions you still have the cold start problem when your Lambda scales beyond the container it's initially running in if you have a large number of concurrent requests.

That said, I'm excited for the potential of serverless offerings - whether using containers or any other implementation mechanism. I'm building a backend for a native app right now and the initial beta version was using Lambda. The slow responses really made it tough though so a move to GKE and Kubernetes have made response times a lot lower, and it actually scales faster too.
I like Xfce, but I now used Ubuntu MATE almost completely. Try it again, either the 16.04 GTK+ 2 LTS or 16.10 (or even 17.10 — the pre-releases are very stable) for the update to GTK+ 3. I think you'll find it's definitely "there"!
