I think in case of Snap, it is part of money making server business. So it is less likely Canonical is going to give up on that.

I'm inclined to agree. Clearly we're not alone in that sentiment, if you check the responses to their ill-conceived Twitter poll.
Just develop a trap, like a fly trap, they have similar intelligence!
Also, it's really difficult to pull just one code block out if it has others below it. I can't figure out how to separate the ones below, which means if I mess up and need to get a code block at the top out, I've got a lot of rearranging to do.

Cool app though.
C# look like a dead end, though much better than first WinPhone with "SilverLight." If you have written c/ or c++ engine, you need just a good bridge to OS UI language. Well, also platform + tools that work well on each Unix/Linux.

Microsoft allows more control over data collection in Enterprise than in Home or Pro. That seems like a calculation about how much each group could push back, not acting in good faith.

> "Marisa Rogers, the "privacy officer" of the Windows and Devices Group, told us that the telemetry data is genuinely useful to making Windows better. As an example the company offered us, there was a problem with the Windows Alarm app. "

So massive levels of enforced data collection are justified by them fixing the Windows Alarm App.
We'll see, atm Flatpak has already been adapted pretty well: https://kamikazow.wordpress.com/2017/02/09/adoption-of-flatp...

I'm sorry but are you seriously believe that or just venting some stuff? Because statements like cheaters are perhaps the most prolific customers of popular online games need some data, I mean, it's easy to see how that thought was formed - cheater gets banned, cheater buys another copy - but if the game is popular it's probably negligible effect.

This specific project has been open source since early 2016. Looking at the timeline of development in Counter-Strike history, extensive work and outsourcing has gone into improving the graphics, sound, and maps, with almost nothing being done to improve the game's immutability. Hacking is more prevalent, more trivial than it has ever been in the history of Counter-Strike.

Oh, come on, nothing was done and cheating is as easy as ever? And what do you mean by game's immutability other than that you can't cheat when looking at a screenshot?
Microsoft still gets unfair criticism when what it is doing is usually less than its competitors (Apple, Google.)

This is a subjective opinion (i.e., subject to debate), and also a harmful one. "The other guy is worse" is never a good defense.
I think i have vague memories of advertising from the 80s implying as much, which if true would represent a good return on advertising, some three decades later!

Agreed. Additionally, the phone is far from production ready. It's a great start, but clearly still in the beta phase. I find it insincere to put a couple of beta phones out, then complain that nobody is buying them.
This seems to be a uniquely (?) american cultural issue - in my eastern eouropean working experience the long weeks are few and far between, and it's generally accepted that you take it easy when the crunch time is over.

Is that the same across all industries in USA? From what I've talked with some finance guys from the states, they have their hardships when it's time to close the year (or maybe quarter), but get to slack off later on. Only in software does it seem to go from mad rush to "normal" level to mad rush, never dipping below. Or am I mistaken?

UNIX was never very good, though. Even at its inception it was a stripped down OS for the PDP-11 because they could not run Multics. C was a stripped down version of BCPL that didn't even have floating point numbers. Looking to the "UNIX way" as the gold standard sets the bar very low.

There's an excellent episode of Star Trek Voyager where the Borg crewmate Seven of Nine installs a component into her brain that lets her sift through Voyager's immense dataset, and results in her secretly telling the first officer that she believes that the captain is a part of a grand and dark conspiracy.

Then she runs the dataset again, and goes to the captain to say the exact same thing about the first officer.

I recently read a science fiction story that described a near-future society in which the space race is restarted following the discovery of an alien drone ship. It describes the situation [1]:

> With rumours abounding that several South American nations are in talks to form their own unified space agency, not to mention the fledgling private endeavours of Virgin, Red Bull, Mitsubishi, Google and BAE Systems, It seems that the second Space Race has begun in earnest.

Red Bull does seem a little out of place in that list, but not much. Why is it that an energy drink company spends SO MUCH on advertising that this isn't all that incongruous?

Something I just learned recently after I started working for Red Hat and is the tldr; of the article:

"Red Hat also commits to keeping our commercial products 100% pure open source. Even when we acquire a proprietary software company, we commit to releasing all of its code as open source."

I had no idea this was the case, pretty cool!

People often don't make a crucial distinction:
Are you developing an API that happens to be accessible via HTTP or are you developing a Web Service.

For an API where you control both the server and the client, you don't need to use REST.

For a Web Service, where you don't control which clients are using, you are better off with a RESTful implementation supporting hypermedia.
Especially if you are interested in keeping clients happy and not give them the middle-finger shaped like a incompatible-v2 version of your service.

I mean the great thing about fallacies is their content isn't important. It's their structure that makes them flawed in leading to the truth. The examples, as a result, are something you can safely ignore, whether or not they're ones you agree with.

For what it's worth, learning to notice the underlying structure of an argument is probably a far more important philosophical skill than noticing that your interlocutor doesn't share your political viewpoints.
>I won't say which camp I think Prof. Hájek falls into with this Aeon piece

The way you put it in this comment, it may feel to some that you are suggesting the author is trying to indoctrinate. I highly recommend people to read the article itself to find that out. It's doing no such thing in my opinion and makes sure to not sound like having an agenda. The author may simply choose some examples that happen to increase reader's interest and hence make them finish the article and understand the concept better.

He ends with this which is not how you indoctrinate someone:

"Where does this leave us? Well, we did not manage to prove the existence of God, nor prove his non-existence. (I hope you are not too disappointed!) But that’s par for the course in philosophy – it rarely proves anything conclusively. Instead, I hope I have given you some sense of what philosophical reasoning is like, and how that reasoning can be stimulated and enhanced by the use of various heuristics. Along the way, we saw some instances of what followed from what (or not), exposed some sophisms, spotted some fallacies, and policed some of our reasoning."

The fact is that our brains have been so incessantly bombarded with propaganda from different places that we start noticing it even when none exists. In other words, Apophenia.
There is nothing that they could do to placate this crowd. even if they stopped collecting telemetry then there would be a vocal contingent of people complaining that it isnt open source. if it was open source and people didnt like the way it handled init a loud contingent would complain.
There is no billion dollar open source company outside of Redhat, if a billion dollars in revenue is your benchmark. On pure success financially from an OSS company, they truly are unrivaled.

Otherwise, there are thousands of small open source companies that do quite well for themselves. If you look at pure profit however, Redhat does abysmally compared to say Microsoft or Apple, or any traditional proprietary software company. Due to this, the valuation for a purely open source company have to be lower which prevents a lot of the VC funding frenzy for "the next unicorn company". If you want small and sustainable OSS can work. Otherwise, Redhat is the black swan in that they pulled off something thought to be impossible.
There are always places where animations can be useful, to users of any proficiency. Although the best ones, and the ones that work even for "serious users", are subtle and involve quick fades and the use of colors that refer to states (incorrect entry, success, etc.) rather than moving x/y position of DOM elements.

After reading the article, I think author is not very confident that Gitlab will go for a big IPO. $4k is not a lot of money, but the taxes can really get you. And it gets even worse if GitLab dies before going to IPO or their IPO is nowhere near the current valuation. He can lose a lot of money in the process.

I also feel OP not investing in a company that he feels doesn't have the best interest of employees in mind is a good stance. Gitlab's reputation is tainted in my mind.

I like GNOME, but actually was quite comfortable with Unity.

While I do understand their change of focus, after all someone needs to pay those developers somehow, and resources are limited, it kind of reminds me about Red-Hat's decision that enterprise was where money is, as they switched their focus away from desktop.

Cloud and IoT are basically where enterprise is going and where GNU/Linux is just part of the underlying services, but not the main product being sold.
Yeh, I'm sorry, I missed that. My point is perhaps only even stronger though, considering the new default is "Full".

To their minimal credit, I suppose, you can no longer avoid the toggle when installing or upgrading to the Creators Update, which you could do in previous Windows with telemetry. I doubt that many will still bother even reading the labels of the toggles though, let alone consider whether they'd be better served with an option other than the default.
Usually in blockly you grab the one below the one you want, it's sticky with all the blocks below it. Then grab the block you want and drag off, then stick the whole thing back together.
i was being serious, i thought that was really helpful input.
If you love CPMA I cannot recommend Reflex enough. To me no game has truly captured the spirit of the arena shooter in the same way. It really feels like the developers have their heart in the right place with a laser-like focus on the gameplay and difficulty curve that made me fall in love with Q3 in the first place.
Apache is a foundation however, not really a "business" per-se.

Out of curiosity, how do you get and maintain what food the user has on hand? Obviously in the long-term you'd do everything so it'd all be in the app already, but short-term do I need to enter everything I have in my kitchen into the app, and update it every time I make something or go shopping?

OP said he was a contractor, not an employee.
Taking this down to an even more basic level that doesn't require much knowledge of this stuff - the basic strategy of this program is to find a quantum system that they can prove (rigorously) has energy levels that map directly to the Riemann zeta zeros (well, the non-trivial ones) under a simple shift/rotation in the complex plane.

Since energy levels of these systems are always real (and in a straight line on the complex plane), this would establish that the zeros are all in a straight line as well, namely the one where Re(z) = 1/2.

The tough bit is finding that system. These researchers seem to think they've made headway; I'm withholding judgment for now, since by my reading the whole motivation for reaching for a physical system (real eigenvalues) is exactly what they still need to establish about their proposed system. They might have just succeeded in recasting the Riemann hypothesis in a different but no more tractable form, we'll have to see.
Canonical isn't really profitable and much of SUSE's stuff is actually proprietary from the days of Novell.
As an UM user: I completely disagree. I think it's got a solid foundation, but they should have never marked it as production ready. If they had baked it a bit more, it could have been.
These are why I'm skeptical that OP's product could be free. DTN iQ charges almost $80 a month (which is truly cheap for real time data) where as amibroker charges more. The best rate I've seen for real-time data is $5/month for individual use but that was only for IEX and no other major exchanges. I just can't see how one would be able to redistribute stock data and allow the price to take no commission (as it seems like it would be the only source of income for the OP's project)

Reminds me of my friends' nightmare experience at the SF girls-only hackathon.

My friends are both pretty darn good software engineers, and went to pick up some other floaters to build a team there. They got a project manager, who they tasked with finding them more engineers. Project manager comes back.... with 2 more project managers. So with their team of 2 engineers and 3 project managers they got very little product done.

I think events like this shouldn't be called "Hackathons." Maybe "Pitch Events" or something. If you can win without writing a single line of code (which I have seen at two SF "hackathons") it should not be a hackathon.

From their FAQ:

> Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood.

I'm finding it hard to decide how intentional this is...?
There is a theory that many famous unproved conjectures are true but unprovable with the traditional methods you hold dear. Of course Godel showed there are true unprovable theorems. But those are weird paradoxical self referencing things. That can sort of be proved if you use a different system of axioms. But it's possible there are unprovable true theorems that aren't like that.

Freeman Dyson created an example of one. He conjectured that no power of 5, it's base 10 representation reversed, is a power of 2. This is almost certainly true. There is no particular correlation with powers of numbers and their base 10 representation. They are basically random except for the last digit. There is no pattern to it. And because the base 10 representations get longer and longer, it gets increasingly unlikely there exists a counterexample. You can calculate the probability and it's very low.

The thing is that statement is very likely to be unprovable. If it's true, it's not true for any particular reason. Nothing at all says a counterexample can't exist. It just happens to be increasingly unlikely to happen. A mathematical coincidence.

You can prove some famous conjectures using probabilistic arguments. For instance Goldbach's conjecture that every even number is the sum of 2 primes. Because primes are distributed basically randomly, as numbers get bigger, it gets more and more likely there are two primes that add to get that number. There are an awful lot of prime numbers after all. But again, there's not any reason to suspect there's a mathematical reason a counterexample can't exist. It's just unlikely.

This is really hard to formalize. Obviously prime numbers are deterministic, not random. Obviously base 10 representations aren't really random. It'd be more precise to say that they aren't correlated with the particular properties we are interested in. But even that is pretty hard to pin down precisely.

Mathematicians strongly disrespect anything that isn't a rigorous proof. But if you do that you might miss out on a lot of interesting things. And there is absolutely no guarantee that the universe will always give us that!
That's a bug in ycombinator's linkification code. A quite frustrating one, since <> is _the_ standard way to delimit URLs in plaintext (going back to earlier than section 2.2 of RFC 1738, back in 1994!), so having linkifiers that still fail to respect it is really unfortunate.
Offtopic, but "etc." isn't an acronym or initialism so shouldn't have periods after each letter. It is an abbreviation for "et cetera".
