That's really not the reasoning. The real reasoning is: "You consented to allow us to automatically install software updates on your computer. Windows 10 is a software update, se we installed it automatically."

Basically, people want to trust Microsoft to install updates it thinks are good and necessary, and then they get mad when they disagree with MS about what's good and necessary.
It's almost as if the GOP hasn't bothered to think through anything beyond demonizing Obama

Is the ACA actually good or bad? What's good or bad about it? What would be better? Who cares, we can just tell everyone it's the worst thing ever.

If Mitt Romney had been president he would have introduced almost exactly the same plan, since that's exactly what Obamacare was based on, which originated essentially as a GOP plan in the first place. Who cares, we can just tell everyone it's the worst thing ever. Ideas don't matter, the R or D next to your name matters. Obama has a D next to his name so it's the worst thing ever now. Let's hammer on that.

Now that they could potentially pass whatever they want? Who cares, we can just... uh... we really gotta do SOMETHING but... maybe it wasn't all bad, whatever I dunno...
> a single click is all it takes

IANAL but can't imagine that a mouse click can be given the same weight as the usual execution of a contract, normally involving verfied ID, a notary public, and written signatures.
And no one gives a shit. Just like Google+, it can be gone tomorrow and no one (in their right mind) will miss it.
you're asking from an MVC perspective?

This approach lets you blur the lines between MVC responsibilities. If you wanted to create a widget that had some traditionally 'business-logic' role (like network sync or database interaction) you could do that. I'm not recommending that but there's value in flexibility.
Um I never claimed there was no alternatives, I said that they were completely and totally ubiquitous in government and enterprise.

If MS stopped supporting their products it would be literally billions of collective dollars to migrate to alternatives.

I've been doing this a long time and in my personal observations I've noticed my corporate and (especially) government customers have been moving more into the Microsoft ecosystem than 10 years ago. MS is more important than they've ever been, if you can believe it.
Nio’s 1 megawatt EP9 smash the Nürburgring electric vehicle lap record

Good. Now we can fire Ryan.
But they didn't. The user specifically allowed Microsoft to install software updates, at its discretion, on the user's computer. That's what they did, except this one was a really big update.
This is probably intended as damage control, but I think this response will do Symantec more bad than good. No problem description, no explanation of consequences for customers, no acknowledgment of the failure no action plan, no schedule, no options, nothing. As a reader if I'm already aware of the problem, this response provided zero substance to counter Google. If I'm unaware then I'm welcome to google what it's all about, land on the blink-dev post, emotionless and factual. The whole issue is about trust, but so far Symantec does not seem to act responsibly which does not help to re-establish trust.

I also wonder what the exact consequences will be (Symantec post fails to explain this). I mean, which big sites will be hit? When? For how many users?
Someone else, definitely.
Can you tell us at what distance the theoretical 1.22e-4 radians would apply. I suppose you mean something like regular screen-viewing distance.
Who would have thought the people that had absolutely no plans had plans that failed absolutely?

Trump literally wanted to be president just to "be president" and the Republican party just wanted to blame Obama. Politics and party take precedence over actual policy. Sad!

> Blake: I mean, far and away my favorite book is Atlas Shrugged […]

Eehh. Atlas Shrugged is surely great in its own way, but I’m not sure it really is a great choice to be a favorite book.
>And Flow is also backed by a large company (Facebook instead of Microsoft).

Only Facebook doesn't care much to back or promote Flow, besides the occasional blog post, whereas Microsoft has created a whole IDE / VS Code support for it, great tooling, documentation, etc.

>The rigid interfaces mean that I need to spend more time researching how to use various modules/libraries

Why, otherwise you'd just throw random parameters in a module's functions and see what sticks?

>Compile time means that it takes more time to debug anything.

Most people compile their JS anyway, TS or not, with Babel et al.

>maybe code completion would offset this problem but this is only possible with a heavy IDE that has intellisense or similar - Not Atom

VS Code has code completion for TS and is similar to Atom. And even Sublime Text has code completion for TS (based on tools MS itself provides for "intellisense" style predictions).

>- It requires more planning to do anything (since you have to design the interfaces before you can start to implement). This is also not good if you just want to try something quickly and then roll back later

Doesn't make any sense. It's not as if you don't need to know the interfaces before you start to implement with regular js. Only there you need to hunt for the documentation to tell you what's expected to pass -- instead of seeing what the types are directly (e.g. with intellisense).

>- Changes to one class/interface tend to have a large cascading effect on other classes/interfaces so it takes more time to make changes to code - This happens with JS too but to a much lesser extent.

It happens to the exact same extend in JS. Only with TS you are shown where the problems are automatically, with JS you have to hunt those places or discover it at runtime.

The rest goes downhill...
No, they really aren't. If a site opens a .swf file in a new window, Chrome should behave exactly as though it opened an HTML page that embedded the SWF, i.e. letting me approve it, and playing it if I've whitelisted the domain. Instead it will always download the SWF if you have your Flash content settings set to anything else besides Run Always. It's really stupid and it means I have to keep Flash enabled globally (which I really don't want to do) simply because Google doesn't care enough to handle edge cases properly.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I got my answer. This is not a viable business idea so I will not spend anytime thinking about it :-))
Yes, this is precisely why Chrome's current behavior is awful. It's forcing me to set Flash to "Run Always", which is a security and privacy problem, simply because one site I use opens .swf files in new windows instead of embedding them in HTML pages.
Spring Boot and Security Events with Actuator
I am referring to 'simulation' as used in the posted article. As for types of computer, there is fundamentally only one - Turing-equivalent machines (there is some speculation that quantum computing might have additional capabilities, but that is highly speculative, in a 'the mind is mysterious, quantum mechanics is weird, so the mind must be using as-yet unelucidated quantum phenomena' sort of way.) All this and more is discussed in this blog [1].

The word 'simulation' may have several meanings. We should beware of tacitly assuming that a metaphorical or analogical use establishes an actual correspondence.

From bytes to strings in Python and back again
Websites breaking core functionality is mildly infuriating but Google Drive's desktop app disables CMD+C (copy to clipboard) on MacOS. And this is in a window whose sole purpose is to provide a sharable link to the user.

You read that right. A "native" app over-riding core operating system functionality to prevent users performing the very task the window is designed for.

Let that sink in for a moment.

(Since the window is a webview you can see (and debug) the JS code doing it. They are aware of the problem but not interested in fixing it.)
I doubt that judges will accept that Windows 10 was an "update".
Over fitting can, indeed, be "fitting the data too perfectly"; e.g., Lagrangian interpolation where have some X-Y pairs and want a polynomial in x that fits the X-Y pairs. How does that work? You can derive it for yourself: For each of the X-Y pairs, write a polynomial that is zero at all the X points except the one pair you want to fit perfectly and then add all those polynomials. Done. Presto. Bingo. "Look, Ma, fits anything perfectly!" (as long as all the X points are distinct). "I should be able to find a polynomial that fits points from a square wave!" Yup, but graph the polynomial and see what it does away from one of the given X points -- the graph goes wild, that is, shooting off to plus or minus infinity and appears nearly to get there.

But in linear fitting, over fitting is simpler: There, of course, do get a linear function which doesn't go wild. And the function can fit the data nicely. The usual problem is that the coefficients in the linear function are not unique.
Open source is massively corporatist. Developers working for $0 to create tool chains that other developers spend their weekend learning so that the shareholders of their employers can increase their wealth.
1. You're considering moving somewhere.

2. Too get a relative sense of how noisy it is compared to others you don't have experience with, instead of just an absolute noise value.

What Everyone Saying Improving Your Life Moment of Patience Ever Rule the World
Control over when they install updates is for people, like me, who are already living the Windows 10 Experience.

I'd love a 'leave now and never come back' check box because every day for two months it tries to install a features update at a random time and always fails. And the 'click here to fix' doesn't.
Glad you like the simple layout!

One of my goals for this is to avoid anything that requires a backend and do everything in the browser. This lets you keep your code private and makes Codewich basically maintenance-free (hopefully). Looks like sass can run in the browser with emscripten, so that should be possible, but seemingly not pug?: https://github.com/pugjs/pug/issues/2655.

Feel free to file an issue for SASS if you'd like to track the progress. https://github.com/calebegg/codewich
Nah, its just that all those other groups have an SEO budget. If NGA does it is probably via a big prime contractor like LM and completely ineffectual.
There does seem to be a significant push to contribute to open-source at many large companies. Having money and people contributing as part (or all) of their day job can be quite a boon for projects.

I agree with the premise of your point, though.
Why Section 1332 could solve the Obamacare impasse (2015)
You're probably looking at a price curve that declines linearly. Any industry that's been heavily influenced by information technology will see a Moore's Law-like increase in productivity. Ever since the 1760's or so (little Industrial Rev.), we've been underoing a great acceleration of technological change. Sequencing a human genome in 2003 cost $3 billion. In what is likely the greatest price drop in history, you can get a genome sequenced today for $1000.

You're also thinking we're just going to ship up excavators, cranes and other heavy industrial construction equipment. Smart money says that we'd just launch a series of automonous drones that can either self-replicate or simply construct what it needs from the materials on the asteroid and some stock materials. Think of launching an SCV from Starcraft instead of the crew and equipment from Armageddon.

If Elon Musk is going to get his planetary transit system off the ground, he's going to need space mining to bring down the cost curve....or a space elevator that magically appears. I believe that SpaceX is seriously looking into asteroid mining as well
>I think this is a valid point for developers who only have a few years of experience but I've been coding professionally for over a decade now - I don't need the compiler to artificially slow me down

You'd be surprised.

There's a reason that developers after decades of dynamic languages turn increasingly to types (of which Flow and TS are examples in the JS world).

Possible misinformation about quantum computers
Why did you expect it was threadsafe? I can find nothing in its javadoc that would lead me to believe it was. Most of the Java standard library isn't threadsafe, that why there are concurrent objects in addition to their non-threadsafe cousins and language level synchronization statements.

Holy title gore.
That was the joy of Windows Phone 7 which slowly got pulled back through 8/8.1/10. You used to be able to view a Contact and see all their profiles and communication histories in one place. But then they started to "part things out" and disassemble that goodness.
The point I was making is for something to get enough traction, so that it would get active contributors who help mature the language, tools, etc.

I think there are only handful of people out there who can contribute in a meaningful way for a project like this. If they are consumed working on open source Swift or doing pull request on many things pushed by FB or Google or working contributing to existing projects like GHC, etc. Then the Alpaca project wont get the contributors it needs to show progress. If there is no progress, it falls into a vicious circle of no progress -> no traction -> no contributors -> no progress
Also, Pythagoras was ~2500 years ago, before this thing.
It is reminiscent to a syntax diagram:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_diagram

If we google for "syntax diagram" or "railroad diagram" there are better examples, like this one: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uDoc4.gif

We see all the "railroad paths" through the syntactic combinations. Because it's not a recursive grammar, it's practical to unfold everything in one diagram. Instead of bubbles and arrows, he marked it up with LaTeX nested parentheses in 2D.

The whole guide is somewhat similar in flavor to the cheat sheets in mathematics books (trig identities, derivatives, integrals, useful equations, and so on).
It just extrapolates noise level from traffic surveys/estimates. It isn't like they have a microphone in your neighborhood.
Hmmm. Maybe I'm just used to the convincing generality of the similarity argument (from Euclid, via Polya): https://math.berkeley.edu/~giventh/papers/eu.pdf

Quantum Communication with the Extraterrestrial Intelligence
this crash is kind of interesting because i don't see any 'unsafe' code* in this getBounds() implementation so it shouldn't crash the JDK. like the code is broken in how it works but it shouldn't be possible to muck around with threading a race and then call clone and crash the JDK.

* the code is very abstract and touches a lot of classes so there could be some unsafe code hiding there i can't see.
Why would you? You're not scrolling up to get recommendations, you're scrolling up to re-read content.

Or at least, that's me. If I want to go back to navigation, I hit the Home key (the vast majority of systems do have one or two of them...). If I'm scrolling up, it's to read.
Why is this a political hit piece instead of an article? Thanks for the two facts about the agency, but were half dozen or so attacks on the POTUS really necessary? If anything, the previous POTUS, a constitutional scholar that campaigned on ending domestic surveillance, has recently relaxed the rules on espionage by allowing non-intelligence agencies to access surveillance data. Furthermore, I don't think it's fair to turn an article about a little-known government agency into bullshit click bait propaganda. Either title the post "look at what Trump can do with the nation's aerial and spatial espionage agency" or make it substantially about that. This is pure click bait garbage, and it is disguised as being of interest to this community to spread propaganda. I would be fine with an opinion or two thrown in there, but making the first two paragraphs about the agency and the rest of it an opinion and hit piece is just a waste of everyone's time. Thanks for the garbage post.

The Apache license has an explicit patent grant (the MIT license says "permission to use", which isn't a copyright grant, so it probably has an implicit patent grant),
and an explicit statement that patches intentionally submitted for merge are submitted back under the Apache license.

The reason we have licenses at all instead of the Unlicense or similar is to make things unambiguous for courts and lawyers. Explicit is better than implicit. The length of the MIT license isn't actually a feature.

(And the contribution section seems like it avoids licensing issues that MIT doesn't.)
I also agree with this premise. I favor the gradual typing philosophy more and more. For me at least, productivity wise, being able to write something, play around with it, make changes, etc without worrying to much about satisfying type requirements is great. When the idea and and implementation feels solid go back and gradually add in type requirements.

I would love to see Erlang get a LLVM based JIT compiler backend. I think this http://llvm.org/devmtg/2014-04/PDFs/Talks/drejhammar.pdf is the latest work done in that area.
You suggested giving a number first. Your mental gymnastics about why that is justified or professional do not somehow make that a game-theoretical good choice.

Seriously, you don't come across as "distrustful asshole" when you repeatedly refuse to divulge it, you come across as competent at business.

Transparency is not your friend in a negotiation. You profit from

We are soooo small, usually the first week, but we also never hire juniors and our stack is pretty common and therefore new developers don't have much to learn besides the usual technical debt.

This is where I believe we'd differ. Postman already had a "desktop" app in the sense that Chrome apps also existed as desktop apps and when we ask users to switch, they wouldn't.

One more thing: the interview process is as much about assessing team dynamics as skill/ability. I wouldn't hire Linus at my own company because he's kind of an asshole. I could be wrong but this is the perception I have from interviews etc. I love his work but can't say I'd like to work on a team that shares his style. It's important to stress that I never talked to him I just saw some interviews. His emails actually seem very reasonable and thoughtful, and he comes across as a regular person.

How does dynamic typing help if there is no contract between sender and receiver? Even in that case they​ must agree on the content of message.

Even if you insist in keeping the message untyped, with a static type system one could always convert (and possibly reject) messages as soon as they are received into a more precise type. That would keep the code that the compiler can't verify to the edges of the system.
