I don't think the street analogy is accurate; it's more like having someone at the door of every store you go into asking for your phone number as you walk in.
You've got it backwards. If you make a breaking change, semver requires you to bump the version number. There is absolutely nothing in the semver spec requiring you to make a breaking change when you bump the version number.

The spec only specifies one of those directions, you're free to bump the major version for any change if you feel like it. Doing so would make your versioning scheme much less useful, but it's not actually breaking the semver rules.
I have bought this one in December, there's 1 bad pixel but otherwise am satisfied. http://www.ebay.com/itm/QNIX-NEW-32-UHD3216R-REAL-4K-MINE-38...
$100 would be enough for me to clone a virtual machine, at least.

I live less than 2 miles from a FedEx ground hub. I would rather walk the 30 minutes in both directions before enabling Flash for FedEx. WTF are they thinking? Pay that money to a developer to fix the problem instead of to your customers to limp along for a few more months.
These jobs are really important for an equal, balanced economy, too. Not everyone has the mental capacity or discipline to get a highly technical career, but plenty can do this kind of work. This leads to a higher demand for lower class work, which raises lower class wages and lowers poverty. A major problem in the US is that most of these kinds of jobs have either been shipped overseas or concentrated to a few urban areas in the country. This combined with a few other things have gutted demand for lower class work, which lowers lower class wages and adds to the inequality in the country.
Fraudsters just manufacturer their own fake blister packs that look just like the company's.
How to Get a 360 View of Your Customer by Managing Identity
Yes, that's also the way I browse the web since a few years. Otherwise it's a pain to use the web today.
Cat eyes have a different refresh rate than human eyes. Some cats can see monitors just clearly enough to make out what's on the screen. Others see flicker. The color gamut is different too.
We use Intercom, but not on a site that's easily discoverable - our marketing folks reach out directly to potential clients.

But yes, I fucking loathe that little "plink" noise it makes. Please don't play sounds while I'm browsing.
Jet.com/walmart is something I use already, and often prefer it to Amazon's own shopping. The website is cleaner which appeals to me. Shipping isn't quite as fast, but it's easily something I can live with. Half of what I get via Amazon doesn't ship via Prime, anyways.

I already use Netflix for my video streaming. Spongebob is on Amazon Prime, so I watch that. I use YouTube, XBOX, and Google Play for other stuff (other videos, some movie rentals, games, music).

I use OneDrive for storing files on a company's servers. Works great.

I normally just get books from a bookstore or library. Tried a Kindle, didn't care much for it. Truth be told, I'm not that big of a reader.

Azure is a perfectly suitable replacement for AWS - VMs, storage, functions, etc. So is GCP, but I'm not familiar enough with it.

I don't really do food delivery, though I game the coupon system a bit with Blue Apron from time-to-time, since they keep sending me $30 off a delivery when I cancel. I mainly just go to the grocery store.

Amazon is absolutely not irreplaceable for me, nor do I think it's irreplaceable for others.
I disabled that CA in Firefox a while ago, and it occasionally prevents me visiting a site, it's quite widely used. Wonder if that'll become a common experience for Chrome users.
Definitely. My company has several vendors that require us to use IE and Silverlight to access their products. It's been a pain for us in IT to figure out how to support those vendor's products while still maintaining security.
Functional style programming is not a fad so much as a different taste. Not everyone will always have the same tastes. It's like peanut butter and chocolate: you can love only one or the other, you can also love both or know that each has different strengths for different needs (projects/desserts).
I encountered that last night when trying to get something printed. Nope. My money went to a different printer.

I'd be really curious to see some numbers on how successful this has been for them.
They're taking $5 per purchase out of their budget, instead of spending $5 per purchase to fix the problem.

I wonder if this is a color of money thing. Are the management team attributing that $5 to IT to paint them as being an even bigger cost center and shame them into catching up with to 10's? I can't wrap my head around this.
Just imagine a plugin that searches the page for emails and subscribes their email to themselves.

PS, when forced to give an email (like 5 min ago for this Wifi) just use @mailinator.com with anything prepended.
Dont forget their early adoption of database technology led to their rise.
Really, there isn't much of a difference. The term premier is merely an abbreviation of the French premier ministre ('first minister'), and in French they don't distinguish between the roles -- the Premier of Ontario is called le Premier ministre de l'Ontario in French, just like the Prime Minister of Canada is called le Premier ministre du Canada.

In modern Canadian English it's conventional to use 'premier' to refer to provincial heads of government and 'prime minister' to refer to the federal head of government. This hasn't always been the case: until 1972, British Columbia referred to its provincial leader as its Prime Minister and before that other provinces did the same.
Walmart would replace Amazon. Not over night, but I'd say less than 5 years to fill the online void.
Could have sworn that there exist multiple takes on extensions for that, but none that has been rolled into Xorg proper. This either because lisencing, or because the current devs have GPU stars in their eyes.

BTW, it is downright funny how just about every Gnome guy i have encountered online seems to come across a pedantic grump. that would not know a joke if it fell on his head...
It can be annoying to not have a generic collection. So if I build a heap I need to build it for a specific type or use interface{} as the values.

That being said, it's never been a deal breaker for me and don't end up missing generics THAT much.
Talk to a lawyer to find out what you can do; they will know the likelihood of a successful case, and most would be happy to at least do a free consultation for 30m-1h.

> And if you were to […] successfully claim for unfair dismissal your name will get around the local IT industry pretty quickly.

That's also unfair discrimination! But I'd be amazed if any settlement didn't include a gag clause to prevent the parties from commenting on anything related to it. If they did, then it's back to court for a breach of contract…

This isn't personal, it's just business. Companies use these tactics because candidates let them get away with it.

Yep, discovered Firefox doesn't copy styles the same way as other webkit-based browsers like Chrome/Safari. Working on a Firefox extension which will solve all this, but even that has been a ton of quirks to deal with. 7% of my visitors used FF, 20% Safari and 66% Chrome, so I think my prioritization so far made sense. Will keep you posted on an FF extension.
dead language?

For some reason I really thought I saw figures that 5M fewer people voted than in '08. Maybe I'm comparing to '12? I'm too lazy to research this at the moment. However, your own page shows that the voter turnout was 2-3% lower between '08-'16.

As for gerrymandering, that only affects the House races, nothing else. The President isn't affected by that, only by the archaic and undemocratic Electoral College and the way state borders are drawn. The Senate is similar. The GOP swept all three.
I am sure their ledgers say its cheaper, but is losing customers ever actually cheaper?

There are plenty of people on machines without good flash support, various mobile devices and odd browsers. There are tech savvy people who know flash is an entry vector for viruses. Then there are people who just can't figure out how to install it.

5 years ago I would have believed the loss in that column of the ledge would be smaller than rewriting an app. Today, recreating the app should be cheaper than ever and more people have already moved on from flash. 5 years from now this will be example of some kind, I think it will be an example of how not to hold onto dying tech.
A corollary to this is that C# property accesses can have side effects. I recently started working on a legacy code base where reordering access to a set of properties on an object resulted in different results!

And I'm not saying that properties are strictly a negative; in some cases, they can be very useful for refactoring an underlying implementation without having to change the API exposed to callers. But just like any magic, it needs to be applied thoughtfully and judiciously.
Magic is when you access struct pointer members w/o the asterisk. ;-)
This is the question that bothered us before we built our marketplace. These answers are helping us a lot in terms of building real value to the audience we are targeting. We are building Marketplace for Growth Marketers - wegrowth.com

I would really appreciate if you can help us build it with more value and with honest feedback what do you expect from the marketplace like this, but so far your answers gave us real value. Do you think there is something we can do better? What do you think is missing here?
> I bet there's some higher-ups at FedEx who still like flash and refuse to give it up.

I suspect this is just a delaying action - a vain attempt to retain some of their web order volume - while they frantically write the replacement for their Flash component.
MS already have Azure which would fill the gap I'm sure. There's also Google cloud compute.
