Yes, pretty much all of my code is written in an editor called "The Hammer". It is written in DataFlex and some C++ bits and pieces.
Yet another reason not to use one of the big 4 banks. Credit unions and local banks are the way to go.
Just to clarify the first point I meant that at university you will live with friends for the remaining years (friends whom you met during the first year). After Uni people disperse around the globe so you often end up somewhere with no friends and choose to do the sharing with strangers thing.

You need to ask yourself: Why does the company do this? Why does the company not grant everybody 50 vacation days by default and encourage employees to work more by paying out small bonuses (like $500) for not taking more than 50% of their vacation days?

It's because they want the employees to not take any days off. Peer-pressure is insanely strong in those environments. You are supposed to feel bad to letting your colleagues do the work, while you voluntarily (!) take time off. Especially at start-ups there is always something for you to work on.

As an employee it's easier to agree on like 25 vacation days/year beforehand because then it's in the contract and both parties can point to it when there are problems. If a colleague has a problem with someone taking more vacations days, it comes down to their own inability to negotiate more days for themselves; not to some "backstabber" leaving their colleague behind for some fun.

As I said, there are cases where unlimited vacation days work out but I would say those are the lucky 1%.
The problem we are facing at my company is: we have a federated Jenkins setup where each team got their own instance and my team managing Jenkins updates, etc.

You don't know the pain we suffer from this plugin ecosystem. Installing a bunch of plugins which depends on a bunch of other stuff, there's no real dependency management for this and it's thoroughly painful when one of the teams decide to upgrade one of their plugins and break their whole setup because of it.

It has happened before even with basic plugins like "Git", one upgrade completely broke more than 50% of our instances (we are running about 50 instances right now) because a lot of other plugins relied on it and then needed to be upgraded, these upgrades then broke other plugins which depended on them and this started a domino effect.

Also, some plugins are just released and never taken care of, we have to maintain about 10 forks of plugins because there's no curation about them.

We came to the point where Jenkins flexibility by itself is a liability.

I know that Jenkins is wonderful for smaller teams but there's a point where the lack of governance really hurts and it's the main burden about it.

But of course, that's a given for any flexibility, too much of it and you have to design boundaries to contain problems... I'm just ranting because after this stint I'm burned about Jenkins, to the point where I don't want ever in my life to have to work with or use it.
EU mandated warranty is not a warranty that people have in mind when they say that word. EU barely mandates that the manufacturer has to replace/fix a product which has manufacturing faults up to 2 years after purchase(this actually extends up to 6 years in some cases).

However, it's up to you to show that something is a manufacturing fault - an incorrectly assembled iPhone case for example, you can expect Apple to fix that within 6 years of buying the phone, and they can't say it's out of the original 1 year warranty so they won't fix it. But if your phone dies 2 years after buying it, they don't have to fix it by law, unless you can prove that it died because of a manufacturing error.
Why isn't this the default interface? It's so much more pleasant and faster than their main web UI.
It's only ride "sharing" if the driver is already driving that way. You're going along with them.

You're not, I don't like Ubuntu as a distro as I believe they've put testing and security in a back seat, but the one thing I really was excited about was the convergence of mobile and desktop, it seems like the future to me and it's something I've wanted since my first smart phone.
No, the $7hr was in reference to what you make as a service sector employee in Idaho or Montana.

Apologies for the clickbait-y/capital-y title! It's the title of the article itself, so I thought I'd leave it in.

Scintilla is an editor for source code. Normally code isn't gigabytes in size and doesn't need a lexer, code folding or syntax highlighting. Not saying that it can't be done, but if you open a file like that then turning off those features would already make it a lot easier to handle huge files.
The history isn't entirely clear. Early on, a lot of separators were used, but it seems that in the 18th century, France standardized on the comma, spreading it to the rest of continental Europe, while Britain settled on the decimal point.

And their spheres of influence pretty much settled the question internationally: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/DecimalS...

You can only configure a single SSL listener per load balancer, and that listener can only use a single certificate. That means you do indeed still need to use either wildcard certs or certs with multiple hostnames. Luckily you can very easily create those through the AWS certificate manager for free.
How to get 15.20$ per day by this way / earn money now
The key answer is in what you wrote: "whose job it was". People do jobs mostly to get paychecks, so like water flowing downhill, will avoid investing effort into anything they can avoid. The students OTOH, had a strong non-monetary motivation driving their efforts, so they obviously dug deeper and more thoroughly.

Seriously?
The EFL author flatly denied to have "bitch" in the error message, posting even the grep results, while silently changing the error message from "bitch" to "complain" hoping that no one would notice it.
Obviously git history doesn't lie like him.
And he was the one that wrote that error message.
In the meantime he started attacking the author of the post on that forum with meaningless arguments.
And you have the courage to say that the incompetence is in the forum users rather than in such person that is so full of sh*t to just outrightly lie in front of everyone?
UI/UX Wireframes for Sign In/up Forms: Do's and Don'ts
I had the same problem with one of the biggest french bank.
I saw an important withdrawal on my account in a city where I wasn't. I called my bank and I explained the situation. They told me I'll get the money back in one day. I asked if I should change my credit card in case it was hacked, they told me calmy it was just an error on their part because another client had the same last name. I just couldn't believe it.
This looks amazing. I haven't used Jenkins for a long time, mainly because I remember the UI being ugly and clunky. So this is really nice.

I haven't set up an in-house CI server for a long time, and if ever needed one again, I was planning to evaluate GitLab CI. Otherwise I just use CircleCI, and TravisCI for open source.

But with this new UX, I might give Jenkins another shot.
>>We have a word for this in India - jugaad. It sort of means "duct tape". And we are very proud of it.

Oh yes we are.

But Jugaad isn't exactly frugal engineering. Its more like badly put together hack.

Also frugal engineering only helps when you have specific goals and you wish to achieve only them. Larger culture of quality consciousness, innovation, precision engineering etc requires larger investments in time and money. Which is why you might eventually do a moon mission, but landing a man on moon will be that harder.

The real problem now for ISRO is mars mission and moon mission satellites are basically the advanced low hanging fruit versions of space work, not easy to pluck but if you jump a little harder you absolutely can. Anything beyond this like say landing rovers, especially big rovers will be very very hard. Or manned missions for that matter or something like a Hubble or James Webb Space Telescope, or the Voyager missions. You not only need bigger rockets, but the engineering and technology challenge there is just a whole lot degree higher. Getting to that requires building the equivalent of MIT's and Harvard's in India.

I think the USA or the western world can build the equivalent of PSLV quite easily. They just don't because there isn't much engineering challenge left in building a slightly larger ICBM. And then compete for profits there. While you can make the same money easily by selling satellite services.

Also though we should be proud of a diverse culture. Very few women are actually in any hard engineering roles there. Most are collect and report kind of jobs, or some management position, or some other desk jobs. Although that definitely counts as being a part of the project. But most of the real hard work that builds competency still sees very little involvement from women. A lot of people come in through reservations and remain dormant because of pension and other government benefits.

While BofA has its share of blame to absorb here, the specific issue is the lack of support for unusual names such as names containing whitespace. The issue may affect other banks, big or small. I for instance had once to deal with a banking application not supporting non-US phone numbers for 2FA, and yet positioned to serve customers 24x7 globally.
IMO installing this alongside third party twitter apps will make a great combo for push notifications alone. My preferred app just refreshes all notifications hourly, which is obviously worse than the official app.
It's nice. It's a shame that the reply / retweet / heart icons are tiny.

The font is also unreadably small, and there are no options to change font size.

In case of a financial crisis the big 4 banks are going to get bailed out. Credit unions and local banks maybe.
Was the bank really at fault here? From what I see they receive a legal letter from the Sheriff’s Department, and they complied with the letter. The article doesn't say what was included in the letter to the bank, I assume the author doesn't know either. It could have the wrong SSN, or the Sheriff’s Department just looked up the defendant's name, found the author's account number and SSN, and sent those to the bank.

Maybe try suing the bank in small claims court. They were clearly negligent.
We need more judges outside of the D.C. circuit. Technology knowledge is SORELY lacking among the current crop, for that reason alone we need a voice like his.
Not sure if you have small claims court in America. In Canada for losses under 10000$ process is fairly straightforward. You should file and follow the process. If they don't give money back, go to the court and execute writ of seizure. One guy did this.

I used to think the same - I've lived in plenty of places with no public transportation. No choice, I'd say, bemoaning the lack of decent public transport.

But then I was in a similar situation off in a small town in Norway. I was at a 80th birthday party in a small town. Most of the attendees were drunk. Everyone already knew someone to take them home, and organized themselves accordingly, some waiting a bit for the sober driver to return empty. A few found someone at the party (my spouse)- and then proceeded to drink. It was nearly surreal to be in the situation.

The truth is that in the states, it is OK to say, "I've only had X beers, so I'm ok to drive." IT is socailly acceptable behavior. And no one really keeps track most times, so if they seem sober enough to us or we know better, we'll let them go. The acceptable BAC level is much lower here - one beer can send you over the limit - and penalties are harsher, so that could be a major factor as well.
What I don't get: Why would he pursue some court order he's not a party to? The only logical counterparty to this dispute is BoA. They gave away your money without proper title. That shouldn't hold up in court? That they gave some money to the LA Sheriff’s Department, that would be BoA to recoup.
>What can we learn from such a tragedy that might help others?

Mental healthcare for veterans is clearly grossly inadequate. Lobby your representatives for better support and keep lobbying until something changes.

If you're concerned about the mental wellbeing of someone you know, act early. Don't let your doubts stop you from acting, don't fall victim to wishful thinking. Talk to them and listen to what they have to say. Keep in touch, even if they're becoming more distant. Encourage them to seek treatment. If you're concerned for their safety, call an ambulance. Find out what your state laws are on involuntary commitment, just in case.

I'd highly recommend taking a course in mental health first aid. These courses are widely available and usually free. In just a few hours, you can gain the skills and confidence to help someone in a crisis.

> but wanted to note that the money they spend doesn't get "burnt".

Rocketry comes pretty close though.
I look at it this way: schools may have existed a longer than universal suffrage, and maybe they even started with a desire to educate the population - but during their existence, they were found to be extremely useful as places to keep kids, so that their parents (both genders) could go to productive work. Like many things in life, schools seem to have changed their primary roles over time.
This is much better then the bloated main UI. But I'd wish an option for an even lighter HN like interface. It still doesn't look to good in a text browser like elinks. One or 2 lines per tweet max would be ideal. That and a rss/atom feed that can be fed into the matrix network and clients.

Originally it was a listing of 140c messages, ideal to quickly view the status of your friends to enhance social proprioception. Since then it unfortunately morphed into a bloated, marketing oriented and visual distraction party where it mostly serves the look at me and commercial agendas. Authenticity, tele-awareness, social proprioception and efficienty flew away with the original twitter bird. Did he have a name? Is he coming back one day?

Are you an EFL developer or the author?
I have read the whole 19 pages of comments, plus the sister thread on os news, and you are the only one that can't understand all the problems in that ball of sh*t apart from the EFL author and his coworker.
In any case I would prefer to lose an hand than to work with someone like you for which writing non type-safe C code, with 40 vulnerabilities discovered by a single researcher, is perfectly fine.
It's true, we don't know what was in the letter, but there was probably some information that didn't match.

Even if not, the bank still failed to notify him in time to contest the levy. That makes it their fault.
The previous president appointed Loretta Lynch as AG, who made a name for herself with civil asset forfeiture.

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/01/loretta-lynch-civil-forfeitu...

If he didn't want this sort of nonsense to be a front and center policy of the DOJ, then he would have appointed someone else.

What about Jeff Sessions? Policy wise, he's also a supporter of this policy, although he doesn't have the proven track record of using it as a tool like Lynch did. Maybe there's a small ray of hope there, but I doubt it.
Can you give me some basics of software testing?
This is going to sound negative, even though I'm glad this is here:

How did we arrive at a time where it is news-worthy to launch a non-bloated service client?

Or to phrase it differently: What is the claimed consumer gain of a bloated client?

More like this please. It feels like going back in time when I first tried a 100Mbps connection in the late 90s and all the web content was made to accomodate DSL and modems.
A bit of background that seams to get lost in the noise is that Unity8(that only ever shipped on mobile) was QT based where as the Uninty7 that still drives the desktop is GTK based?

I wonder if he really meant gnome-shell or just the platform(as unity7 already is) when he claimed that 18.04 would be based on gnome?

On a unrelated note as an owner of(a now flashed to android) Ubuntu tablet i think they made the right choice here as the thing was lacking tablet mode without being a viable laptop/desktop replacement.
So when I'm upvoting someone I'm actually insulting him/her? Sorry man it just happen that I agree with you.
In The Netherlans, but I suspect it is EU wide, they won't check the name at all when doing an ordinary transfer. And this is all banks.
I especially like how in every case of being screwed by the bureaucracy the lowly citizen has only one option - go the the lawyers. And what are those? More bureaucracy!
How would they know that they have higher salaries?
Ultimately, that's what happens when it's a human that gets the final sign off. You can put all the control and checks in place you need, either the human validates the case and events like this happens, or the computer has final authority and people complain about lacking human touch and comprehension and "they know me for decades but I can't get 20 euros out without several proof of identity".

I'm not sure which way I would consider best. I guess as long as banks are stepping up to their errors and fixing them immediately as in your case, I prefer that.
Got excited, clicked on it, and then realised I'd been using it for a while anyway.

Wish I hadn't given away my 2007 twitter account for free.
almost spot on. the caveat you cite - that you have to demonstrate it's a fault in manufacturing - is how they try to get away without replacing the device.

however, to cover all bases, within the first six months of device life it's the manufacturer that has to prove the fault was not caused from a manufacturing defect.
Unfortunately, the forces which affect everyone in our society today tend to be too deep and too complex for everyone to actually understand them.

For any given problem, the people who understand the problem are often unwilling to fix it because doing so might not align with their financial interests.

The few expert dissidents that exist in any given area need the support of the uninformed masses in order to change things.
I don't think you can make that argument.

I don't see how it follows that if you don't see human life as precious you should kill yourself.

We can go deeper and ask: Why is life precious? You, me and everyone else got their lives for free.

Nobody ever paid anything to be born into this world and nobody gave consent to be born into this world.
I think the issue with a plugin ecosystem is that far too many 3rd party plugins do not respect the workflow of the core system that users expect to encounter - the UI appearance and functionality can easily confuse users, or even completely destroy the experience. Plugin integrations are often so poor that they ruin the product as a whole; particularly whenever a "top 10" plugin has serious bugs or flaws that prevent it from providing what a user really needs. Half-baked plugins that users depend on as a necessary evil are rarely a good thing. There is a reason that important functionality must be officially integrated into the platform: the core system must be presented as a unified and consistent interface.

Community plugins can be a godsend, but they can also be the exact reason why a software service falls apart.
