> Syntax?

yes, because so many other languages have copied that syntax in superficial ways. being familiar with C syntax (ugly as it is, way too much punctuation imo) automatically makes you able to comfortably read Java, JavaScript (sort of), PHP, C#, etc.

it's kind of a shame because aesthetically speaking its so full of bad choices, but it is still very influential.

> Pointers?

yes, absolutely this. most memory managed languages don't give you pointers at all and let the GC and objects implementation handle that completely. however, understanding the details of reference, dereference, and memory addressing is good for developing insight into how things are implemented at a lower level and what the performance characteristics of those implementations will be.

> Dealing with garbage?

C is a manual memory management language. Doesn't even have smart pointers or optional GC. To avoid memory leaks you have to be extremely dilligent about error handling and cleaning up/deallocating on every possible program branch. this will really hammer home a few points about rigor that are easy to gloss over in memory managed languages.

however, it's a pain in the butt and I'm really really glad I don't have to do manual memory management on a daily basis. still, learning a bit about this has made me a lot more sensitive to possible memory leaks that turn up even in higher level languages.
Japanese crime rates are underreported, and in reality most likely very similar to northern European countries in term of safety (and many other things, such as birth rate, another oft repeated misconception).

Popular culture likes to portray Japan as a weird outlier country- but that's only if you compare it to the US. If you include the aforementioned European countries in the comparison, the US is the weird country.
Just a clarification:

NONE of your App's code will run using such "AdministratorAccess" policies. Each function will run in its own iam:Role with limited permissions defined by the developer.

The AdministratorAccess is currently required only for the CLI but, as said in my previous comment, we'll eventually move to using a Service Role and providing a more restrictive policy.

Damn. I finally get it. Thanks!
The mini makes a great point-of-sale terminal. It's large enough to display the order and sign on, but small enough that you don't have to clear the counter in order to be able to swivel it around.

If the cheap mini goes away will there be some Android OEM that steps into that market? Or will business owners just suck it up and buy the 128GB version?
Would you like to go to trial and attempt to persuade 12 non-technical jurors that "hashcodes" unequivocally demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that there is child porn on the external hard drive?

It's a foregone conclusion technically that the illegal content is on the hard drive. His guilt is not a foregone conclusion (not in the US anyway).

If you visit https://www.justice.org/sections/newsletters/articles/fifth-... and search for "foregone conclusion" you will get some good info.

The file hashes basically takeaway any good self-incrimination argument he could make and there might also be evidence of further criminality on the hard drive.
I had to read the article multiple times as I thought the same thing. One paragraph mentions that the CMO is only talking about the marketing org, but that the sentiment is repeated elsewhere in the company.

Headphones and straps look very Rift like, so maybe a modified Rift?
> The oddity is why is it as thick as the previous generation and where did the laminated screen go? Is that no longer needed or cost cutting?

Yes, it's cost cutting. They just made a 9.7" tablet available for just over $300, right in the iPad Mini's price segment.

Honestly, Apple is probably feeling some pressure from the Android market - lots of vendors have "good enough" tablets available in this price segment (Amazon, in particular) and I've been seeing the app selection slowly getting better over the past couple years. By putting the iPad with a full-size retina display just $55 above the 32GB Fire HD 10 they can likely get a decent chunk of people looking for a cheaper "big" tablet to justify the cost difference and go with the Apple device.

> Did notice the Mini is a 128g device where the larger iPad is a 32g. The iPad market is just to fragmented.

Either Apple wants to kill the Mini with this change or make it a premium-ish product where you pay more to get the smaller form factor. Either way, it's likely to be less popular now that there's a 9.7" device right in its price point so simplifying the device down to one SKU makes supply chain management a lot cleaner.
Nice! I always appreciate folks who take the time to blog about introductory topics. There's too much of the 'those who can't do, teach' mentality in software and it's good to see people take the time to do uplift while they learn.
Can't agree with you more! The other issue I have with macOS is the maximize button which defaults to "fullscreen". I have become used to pressing the Option/Alt button before clicking the green maximize button. It's so obvious that it is a very bad design decision. Even more surprising is that this "feature" has been kept around for 3 versions of macOS. Am I the only one who finds this UX so counter-intuitive? Else why would it stick around for 3 versions of macOS?

How so? You'd use cm for one and mm for the other, and there's no actual reason to convert between screen size and thickness so it doesn't matter if the conversion factor is 10 or 25.4
Let me start by saying that anybody that has internalized how JS and its various frameworks work is way smarter than me.

In my experience, the Bootcamps and other 'get you a job quick' resources are pushing all graduates to front-end because it takes less understanding of how computer systems actually work, i.e. databases, and networking. I also think you can be more successful on the front-end without gaining "wisdom" (making mistakes you learn from over time).

I just reached out to a friend that runs a bootcamp in my city for any unemployed grads that had any interest in AWS, Java, or Python and got exactly 0 bites. When I go to their demo days, it's all pretty front-end stuff that just uses locally stored data.

I can't make assumptions about gender here, but the front-end seems to be getting flooded with lower-skilled, less experienced folks.

You're conflating two different things.

If Company A wanted to lobby for the killing of all blue eyes babies, they could. They can make signs, start campaigns, attempt to get a meeting with a member of Congress.

All of that lobbying would be useless though because we all know that that idea is disgusting and wrong (hopefully we all know... with this current climate, nothing is certain).

The act of killing the babies is wrong, and we can pretty much all agree on that. But that company has every right to lobby for that position. No matter how crazy.

> They may have the legal right to do so, but it's still wrong in some cases.

You seem to agree here.

Dunno if there are other fogeys like me who remember the days going back to the Imagewriters, Stylewriters and Laserwriters -- those were fantastic printers in the pre-USB era where third party printer pickings were quite slim for Apple users.

In the late 80s, you could even get a third party scanner in the shape ink cartridge called a Thunderscan for the Imagewriter.
I would gladly match my tax prep fee with a donation to the counter-lobby, if one existed. Where can I buy tax-complexity-offsets?
Maybe I'm confusing restricted mode with something else? I think it's this: http://i.imgur.com/Kne3CvL.png

I don't think those restrictions are applied automatically. I believe they are set when a video get lots of reports. Maybe it only takes a few reports to restrict the videos, or maybe a human has to evaluate them before flipping the switch. As much as filters suck (I agree with you), I think a few false positives are worth it if we don't show a kid a video of some idiot saying rape is ok.

But I don't use youtube much, so I might be wrong... that's why I ask. :)

So why is Linux literally the only one who does it like that? It results in a behaviour that's surprising to the application developer and is then hard to control and get right. All I'm hearing are philosophical excuses, but nobody seems to have studied the systems that came before and can point out a concrete reason why the Linux way is better. Meanwhile everyone else is having trouble using the interface correctly.

LHC is a science experiment. Its job is to, first, check older results [1], and second, put nature to the test in a well-motivated and important way. In particular, LHC is the Higgs hunter, a messy [2] pathfinder before a precision Higgs-studying tool. It succeeded at that job [3].

That LHC has found no new physics beyond the standard model is not a failure. Finding nothing where you thought you might find something is as useful as finding something. If anything, it is more interesting, as it means there is still far more to be learned.

Politics are about people. The science case is a driver for the political case, but it generally takes a backseat to other goals when funding is at hand. First, science keeps us sharp. It pushes harder on materials and technology than anything ever done. An investment in science is also an investment in the entire science supply chain. The recent explosion of quantum-computing hardware investment has only been possible because scientists have built and sustained the tooling and companies that manufacture the necessary subcomponents at a reasonable cost.

More important, it teaches us how to learn; our most important product as scientists is our students. Students keep the field alive, yes, but most students take their new skills, knowledge, and curiosity with them to share outside of academia. Furthermore, governments support scientists to retain the skills for when they are needed by the populace in general; when the Fukushima accident occurred, our laboratory dropped everything it was doing in order to focus on atmospheric monitoring [4].

Finally, the fundamental knowledge we glean from each halting step forward moves us forward as a species. The device on which you are reading this text is the aggregate product of millennia of fundamental research and refinement.

LHC, at least from my outside perspective (I would benefit personally if less money were directed to colliders), has been well-run, successful, and worth the price, both scientifically and politically.

Where we go next is an interesting question -- I'd place my money on exotic accelerator technology. The detectors are wonderful, and linear accelerators are the century-scale path forward. The trick is finding a revolutionary new accelerator idea.

[1] Which it did beautifully. Really beautifully, and really fast. Look at Figure 3: http://lss.fnal.gov/archive/test-fn/0000/fermilab-fn-0923-cm...

[2] Protons are full of quarks and gluons, so when they collide, it's difficult to know which component hit which other component. Lepton-antilepton colliders, on the other hand, are harder to build, but extremely clean.

[3] There is one Higgs. Its mass is 125.09 ± 0.24 GeV. Its width is less than 1.7 GeV. It is the first fundamental scalar particle known to man. http://pdg.lbl.gov/2016/tables/rpp2016-sum-gauge-higgs-boson...

You are correct in that as a non-lawyer (I am a non-lawyer as well) you cannot read the law and reliably, confidently understand what it means, much in the same way a non-programmer cannot read read code and understand what it means.

There is a problem with this which is that non-lawyers are required to comply with the law but that's not really the issue here.

If you're trying to argue courts have gone through mental contortions to derive radical insane re-interperetations of the law that completely change its intent and meaning 180 degrees, and that the entire legal orthodoxy has gone through the same contortions in order to be able to practice law in its current state, you can do that and it's reasonable, but you should use better examples like e.g. the commerce clause, not slavery. Slavery was most definitely intentionally allowed, no interesting interpretation necessary.
Sure, but there wouldn't really be a meaningful difference between that and the existing players since non-profits still need revenue to operate.
You are answering a big question of mine: "If I launch a PAAS product, am I allowed to copy Heroku's terms of use?". Seems like it's covered by copyright but it's IP-free zone, although "IANAL"...

On the other hand, it would be a headache if contracts were covered by copyright: If your competitor adds a clause to their contract, can you add the same clause if it's covered by copyright, or are you forever banned from adding this clause? Would someone file a patent on "Using contracts to limit the liability against customers", for example?

So if you throw enough at the shit at the wall, eventually something will stick, in the sense that someone will link to it. That hardly seems like a viable or repeatable "strategy" for increasing search rank.

My personal experience with this, after paying for months of professional content writing, is that you get a few people posting links on their zero-PageRank Wordpress blogs and you get a few people attempting to share links or spread the word, but over-aggressive forum admins have filters that automatically remove all off-domain hyperlinks, and, in some cases, openly-hostile admins will remove any link to or mention of anything that isn't their own site. One of the largest forums in our niche had this policy; if you didn't pay them $5k for an ad package, any mention of your site whatsoever would be removed. You also get competitors, often large ones, blatantly ripping/reskinning your content without giving any credit, and then everyone shares the link from the better-known source instead.

Google claims that good content is key, but what they mean is that "good content will get links, so links mean content is good, so we just count links".

The premise that links correlate with quality is no longer valid in 2017. People no longer puts links on the internet to content they like, at least not in the format that Google expects and/or is able to access. The simple fact is that Google is made for the web past, and that it doesn't work on the web as it stands.

Our competitor had only 2-3 publicly visible pages that informed on the mechanics of their service and provided 0 related content. We had a blog that featured new posts with updates that were relevant to the niche almost-daily, including fully original high-quality photo essays with abundant explanatory text. Despite this, with a little bit of spam voodoo, they blew us away on SEO in every non-long-tail keyword.

Is there a reason why they decided to store time as seconds from 1970? In a 32-bit integer nonetheless. It seems like basic logic would have lead the original designers to make it at least 64 bits so that you'd never overflow it (with a 64 bit time we'd be good til the year 292277026596).

64 bits would also allow you to also cover the entirety of history, all the way back to 13.7 billion years ago when the Universe came into existence, but instead the UNIX time format is shackled to be within ~68 years of 1970.
