Because while default scroll is fine for scrolling pages whole, in any scrollable div that's not top level it looks out of place like a blacksmith on an iceberg.

It's a gray slab that looks like a tombstone riding a straight, dull rollercoaster and unless your site makes a point of having a '90s inspirational look there's no way to integrate them in a page so that it doesn't feel completely detached.
There is a mod of KeePassX 0.43 that had auto type, which I was using. Now there is KeepassXC, which has auto type. One notable UI difference: You have to select the Root node in the tree to do a global search.

> Placing an airport far from home? Good luck building that!

Would you have to first build a road out there with public transit service stops, and then bootstrap an increasingly-large set of airport hotels for the work crew to stay at, before attempting the airport itself? If so, that sounds like my kind of game.

I have no clue why they stopped developing it any further, in old days you would eagerly wait for a new feature, every couple of month.

Capital turns these companies into SJW havens where nothing gets done but they get to promote the companies as part of valley culture/cultural meccas. Look at Github, for example.
Also seeing the intermittent event on the personal dashboard. Wonderful.
That early experience gradually got me motivated enough to learn more powerful tools. These days, Common Lisp (https://github.com/codr4life/cl4l) is my preferred tool for most problems; but I'm gradually learning to like Forth as an embedded DSL (https://github.com/codr4life/lifoo) and might be convinced to write C (https://github.com/codr4life/libc4life) under the right circumstances. I swore early on to never, ever settle for crumbles from the design table again. Then I kept on learning the same lesson over and over again through most languages in common use, until I finally accepted that nothing but simple, powerful, general purpose and free was going to work for me. Mysterious ways, indeed :)

Paypal does naive keyword matching. I know this, because I used the word 'aleph' in the comments field when sending someone money, because that word was in the name of the thing I was buying.

Turns out, there is some terror group with the same word in their name.

Also turns out, PP's "sophisticated" fraud detection will hold a payment for nearly a month, when a human looking at the transaction is going to figure out it is a false-positive from a bullshit system pretty quickly.

Also turns out that apparently terrorists are somehow still capable of functioning, despite the best minds of our generation writing these super-cutting-edge detection algorithms.

I have to imagine that there are members of the set of people who are terrorists and also stupid enough to type "for the greater glory of MyTerrorGroup!" in a PP comment field, but there can't be many. And guess what? This gets everyone thinking about what sort of scanning takes place. So in the interests of catching the two idiot financiers who do this, we're teaching everyone to Be Careful What You Say.

Which, come to think of it, is probably an outcome that some are not unhappy about.
I confirm for SES being down in US-East-1 :-(

I'll repeat what I said on Twitter: "A weird metaphor used to elide the reality that all of these problems stem from human choices."

EVERYBODY PANIC! US-EAST-1 is what we use, down for us.
I just check Twitter, since Amazon's status is always a lie. My personal dashboard is still showing no problems. It's bad enough that the main public status is always green even when there's clearly a problem, but you'd think they could at least make the private status accurate.
"quite bad programmer" was a big overstatement, what I meant is that he is just not 10x, but only average. Or maybe he is, the whole 10x programmer is a blurry term.

Sources:
1. you can watch him code on youtube, just search for "notch coding"
2. 0 research papers/new technologies
3. Minecraft is an average game from programmer's POV

I am not saying that he's so bad I would not hire him, I'm just saying that making Minecraft does not make him 10x programmer.

We got timeouts to our bucket address from every location we tried starting at 10:37 Mountain time (GMT-7). Slack uploads started failing, imgur isn't working, and the landing page for the AWS console is showing a 500 error in the image flipper in the middle of the page. The Amazon status page has been all green, but there is a forum post about people having problems at https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=250319&ts...

In the last couple of minutes that forum post has gone from not existing to 175 views and 9 posts.
Must be related to AWS S3 issues.

https://status.aws.amazon.com/
Yup, same here. For a moment, I was worried that the UI showed 0 buckets. Gave me a heart attack.
I'm seeing green checkmarks across the board, but they just added a notice to the top of the page:

In the set of people I follow, the popularity of Twitter accounts is directly proportional to the total number of tweets they have, which is a sample of almost 400 people. I did an analysis a while back.

Of course, there are always counter examples, famous people that don't tweet at all, or people posting dumb shit and not getting followers. That tweet to follower ratio has some variation. Quality matters too and it helps if people have a following outside of Twitter.

But still, I'd say that your likelihood of following someone is not representative of other Twitter users.
Is there really much overhead of wrapping processes in docker containers vs orchestrating them via a process manager? Since containers are basically a set of mounts and namespaces, what memory overhead do containerized processes incur that non-containerized processes do not? I am under the impression that a container does not add very much memory overhead itself; it's the process(es) inside the containers that add memory overhead. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, I certainly think the Sims did that, to tremendous success.

now that is an expensive 2d game. holy shit.
The last few places I interviewed at specifically asked this. "Have you ever been involuntarily terminated, or voluntarily resigned to avoid termination?"
Sad to see this downvoted, but it's definitely war of some sort between Google and Microsoft and Google actively targeting MS products could easily be a factor. Altruism it likely isn't.

Keep in mind that the Google docs/drive/whatever suite is the competitor for Microsofts Office 365 product.

Has Google ever released info about an unpatched critical bug on their own systems/applications?

Penicillin, for one, was discovered over a decade prior to WWII. A method of mass production was developed in 1940, but have no idea how much that had to do with the war.
Came here to say cost-cutting. I'm not sure that Twitter will sunset itself.

Craigslist remains an institution, even if its impact is beginning to lessen. Twitter is a protocol, and an excellent one. If it continues to serve as a backbone of public-domain discourse, it can remain relevant for the foreseeable future.

WhatsApp had 55 employees at the time of acquisition, with 0.5B monthly users. Twitter currently has 0.3B monthly users and 3860 employees.

I keep considering TWTR, even had a limit order open for a while, but keep walking away.
S3 is definately down. Lambda is borked on us but our functions use S3 so..

Some consoles are also seem to be down.
Yes, completely overpriced relative to average costs across us - however these are real for major metro areas (ny, dc, sf, Boston etc).

Unless you make $250k+/year there, it's not worth being in these areas.
There was a brief period at my local Microcenter, after the supply started to catch up with demand and before the "limit 1 at $5" policy. I bought five of the hundred or so in the locked plastic box. I think I could have bought twenty, all at $5/each.

Maybe there's a similarity in how it worked under the hood, but the users of those APIs most definitely could not write UIs in that style.

In Win32 code, you still have persistent windows with child "windows" (UI controls/widgets) on them, that have UI-specific internal state (such as text, position, links to their own child windows, etc.) that is different and separate from your application's state (variables, data structures).

Then you have to manually mutate (SetWindowText, ListView_InsertItem, CreateWindowEx, DestroyWindow etc.) the UI when something in your application's data changes.

Unless you don't use any native UI controls and just draw everything manually I guess, but people generally didn't do that.
Clang does well enough to be the default compiler for Apple and Google. It can't be that far behind.
In a third party library which already touches a sensitive area that shouldn't messed with in the first place? That'd be a week of two of work, easy. Means reaching a client less.

I see jQuery-Jockey code like that all the time. It's indicative of a novice programmer. I can't blame Borland for that. Just teaching someone that the view should never be the source of truth, can go a long way.
I think "better" in this case is relative.

Yes, there are objectively better languages than PHP in terms of design and consistency, but even I'll admit it's difficult to match the shear volume of FOSS libraries, applications, and the huge number of people who know it if you're targeting the web.

Besides, if Peachpie expands the .NET ecosystem to include PHP's, isn't that a win for developers who may be stuck with that platform? I'm not a .NET developer, so I'm sure to be missing something here.
Their status page probably can't refresh because S3 is down.
Is this only affecting US-EAST-1?
While keeping the status green for s3, they have at least put up a notice at the top:

Increased Error Rates

1. cut costs by a lot. they shouldn't be spending $2B per year

2. allow the apps to be used without a login - with the default view showing 'what is on now'. almost every member of my family has attempted to use twitter at some point and just been confused.

3. reformat all the explore pages into ordinary twitter streams

4. acquire nuzzel. their view of 'whats on now' is better than twitter's view

5. drop the video passion-project nonsense. you don't need to own content to use twitter alongside it. strike deals with the content providers instead where tweets are shown alongside (this is already being done) and become a partner to content owners and distributors rather than a competitor

6. improve the core product for users. group messaging, longer tweets, only show replies from people who are authenticated or two degrees away from you by default, etc. etc. (and pro accounts, if you wish)

7. let people pay to get a checkmark, and then let users pay to flair tweets they like

8. better tools for businesses who provide support on twitter. let them pay to use it as a platform and properly authenticate their customers on twitter

9. ditto above but for marketing
Someone doesn't know how prices are set!
There should really be an option to handle gemstones by value rather than mineral type, which would require (and exercise) the appraisal skill.

So if you want to cut semiprecious stones, queue a task for cut gemstone, worth ¤1 to ¤5. It would also be nice if you could specify the type of cut, since the game engine already randomly produces cabochons and baguettes and cushions and such.

The encrusting randomness can be controlled by locking the jeweler in a room with only one encrustable item, but I shouldn't have to. If I want a masterwork silver hammer encrusted with small jade cabochons, I want to be able to specify that.

Also, building multi-part instruments is just insane.

Agreed. And at its current development I wouldn't be surprised if Rim World would reach just as much complexity as DF, of course always lacking a few years behind (more than a decade to begin with). But as you said, due to a better interface it's probably in the leading position.

I remember back in 2004 or so, going to Brazil. At the airport in Fortaleza I saw a couple of Americans lined up to have their fingerprints taken as a reciprocity measure after the US required it of Brazilian citizens entering the US.

The prints were taken in the old-school way using ink and file cards - after which the cards were unceremoniously dumped in a bin.

Close Combat is one of my favorite series ever. The morale and fatigue mechanics were some of the best I've ever seen. And the graphics were fantastic for the time, really excellent aerial photography-inspired hand-made maps and sprites.

Pass¹ is very nice, and you can even share a part of your password library with someone else by using their GPG public key (encrypting just those files with both your keys) and sharing the shared directory via some sharing utility such as SyncThing².

But is it not also true that cognitive function declines if you work more than 25 hours a week for those _under_ 40 also? In fact, isn't it true that cognitive function declines after only 10 minutes of focussing on a single problem!

Pretty confident that isn't it. S3 was returning InternalErrors for 22 seconds before it started timing out and/or returning 503s to all my requests.

I'd bet that something broke (causing InternalError responses) and then nodes started marking themselves as failed (causing the timeouts and 503s soon after).
What law in the US makes it illegal to circumvent an encryption system? I can think of the DMCA's prohibitions against circumvention measures for DRM, but that's specific to protecting copyrighted works.

This FindLaw article http://employment.findlaw.com/workplace-privacy/privacy-in-t... agrees that employers have a right to monitor communications from their devices on their networks, especially when this policy has been clearly laid out and agreed to by employees. Expectation of privacy is a major deciding factor in US law.

I'm not sure of the legality of an ISP doing this. I would hope it's illegal, but ISPs are weirdly regulated compared to, say, phone companies.

I use both RS Cloud Files and Google's Cloud Storage. Google's is superior in nearly every way.

The only con is that it is a Google product that could be deprecated at any point in time. But, with all the acquisition stuff happening over at RS, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them killing of their cloud offering.
Yeah I just now saw that. Probably regional cache clearing or something.
1) I assume that you're talking about code that is generated by the IDE.

2) Agreed, the pricing needs some changes, it's still way too expensive for what they're including in the Professional version:

https://www.embarcadero.com/app-development-tools-store/delp...

For hobbyists and those on a budget, there's always Lazarus/Free Pascal.

3) Not true, unless you're talking about the IDE. However, there are all sorts of Object Pascal IDEs such as Lazarus (cross-platform IDE) and Oxygene (uses Visual Studio) that can use the same/similar Object Pascal code.

4) I'm not even sure what you're talking about here. Privileges under Windows, etc. has nothing to do with Delphi specifically.

5) Also not sure what you're describing here. You can add an icon to your application pretty easily via the Project Options dialog. One of our best-selling products is developed in XE6, and we don't have any issues with the application icon.

6) This is a build system issue. Most build systems handle version info/manifest generation without issue.

7) Zero ? I think that's pretty easy to disprove.

8) Definitely not true. If what you say is true, then we wouldn't be in business. There are still a lot of companies making a lot of money using Delphi, primarily because they didn't spend a better part of the 00's trying to rewrite their flagship application(s) in C#, just for kicks.

Having said all that, yes Delphi is definitely not in the same position it was in the early 00's, but it didn't all of a sudden get a crappier compiler or component library. If you invested in Delphi then for your business, then your applications could still be compiled today on Windows 10 without major issues or re-writes. It's hard to quantify that kind of value, but it's still important. It's the same reason why so many businesses stick with Windows - there's a lot of value in being able to run applications that are a decade old on newer versions of the OS.

The fact of the matter is that there are only two major options for writing LOB Windows applications fast today: Delphi and C#. Anything else isn't going to be anywhere near as productive. And, if you're writing applications that need to be distributed to a lot of seats and work on every version of Windows from the past decade, then using .NET is going to be somewhat problematic.
