I work for a company that sells software which runs on top of Red Hat/CentOS servers. As a result, sometimes we have to tell our clients that the issue is on the server level and that they need RH to take a look at it, assuming they're paying for Red Hat support.

FWIW, I've never heard any of them complain about Red Hat. I've had plenty of them complain to me that I'm sending them to RH instead of fixing their server for them (because that's what software engineers should do, right?), but they've never once complained to me about RH once they reached out.

Tizen is a joke, they already rebooted the SDK multiple times.

1 - GTK+ based

2 - Took Bada OS C++ SDK with its Symbian C++ like flavour

3 - Rewrote the C++ API into something more appealing

4 - Thrown everything away and replaced with EFL, plain C API with C++ will come soon

5 - Now they are adopting .NET Core with Xamarin Forms

How can anyone invest time developing for them?
Another reason it isn't a utilitarian approach is because not allowing reformed criminals to work causes recidivism. If people have no way to make an honest living once they serve their time, they are virtually guaranteed to commit more crime. The attitude of "Don't hire criminals, it isn't safe" makes society as a whole less safe.
If this case goes very badly for Uber they may well decide to turn around and sue Levandowski. He may not have virtually unlimited money after that.

Which is exactly what Levandowski did. And then, under advice from his lawyer, he plead the fifth.

> Pleading the fifth is expressly not an admission of guilt

In criminal cases.

In civil cases, you can still plead the fifth without facing contempt. But the jury is free to draw its own conclusions. As is the judge. If you don't believe me, see the transcription of Alsup's tounge lashing.

The real problem with the panama papers incident is that it's not clear whether people on that list have done wrong or anything interesting.

Clearly, it was a way to hide away ill gotten cash for some people but it also has legitimate usage. I disagree the way it attempts to paint anyone who's name shows up in the panama papers as a criminal.

Lastly, I want to pay for journalism that weaves together a highly interesting and entertaining story. I think part of the talent is not just telling the facts but weaving a good story that invokes emotional response.

Panama papers did not meet those criteria so it's not as interesting as that paul le roux story.
Depends on the toplevel suffix. For instance, .fr (France) domains have a "no taking" period after the expiration date, where nobody can take it from their previous owners. The owner can then take it back, but it won't be re-activated for a couple of weeks, I believe. So the punishment for screwing up is a temporary blackout of your domain name.

.com, .net, .org domains are handled differently, and may be easier to lose permanently.
I see a lot of people plugging uBlock Origin here. I am curious, has anyone gone through their code to make sure they are on the up and up.

"Narcotic" means numbing, and that's an accurate description IMO. Reports of euphoria are exaggerated. It feels good if you are feeling pain or malaise and it takes the pain or malaise away. Otherwise it doesn't feel like much.
On the other hand, beyond a certain level framerate-dependent movement speed can be enabling to the player. If there are parts in the game where the performance breaks down on certain machines, then it can be preferable to have the game go slower, i.e. still controllable, than a slide show that leaves the player no time to react.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to game loops. There's various ways to approach them and which one fits your game best is determined by its gameplay.

No, the law of large numbers does not assert that all sequences of outcomes converge, only that this happens almost surely.

After that I start over, three more tosses all independent of what just happened, again a 12.5 % chance for heads, heads, tails. Why could this not continue forever?

It's really not about which package manager is better. The fact of the matter is apt is "good enough" (as toyg mentions below) and more importantly, it's the ubiquity of the package manager that matters. Even Windows has Ubuntu now as the "bash subsystem".

People are used to apt. Switching to Fedora means learning an entire set of commands. While dnf's feature set is better in a lot of ways, that's just too much to ask when apt is there and it works for the majority of users, newcomers to Linux or otherwise.
Application convergence already happens via the browser; this takes much wind out of the sails of OS convergence. However, it also means that browser focused OSes, ChromeBook and FireFoxOS, will probably be the ones to win, in the end.

That will be great for Gnome3 extensions too. Although they are great and there are some very useful ones, I have this feeling that a few of them look a bit abandoned. There's much potential there to be explored.

By the way, I miss a few functionalities from Gnome2 in Gnome3. These extensions make it complete for me.

- [AlternateTab][1]. I can't get used to grouping windows by application. It requires one extra step to get to a target window. I think workspaces do a better job for organizing windows.

- [WorkspaceGrid][2]. I like this way workspaces are organized better than a single line. Makes them more accessible in a 4x4 setup.

- [TaskBar][3]. I miss the task bar from Gnome2. I still use 'Activities', but it requires one extra step to get to a window. It's great for having an overview of your applications, though. I enable a single taskbar at the top.

- [PixelSaver][4]. Remove the title bar and blends the close button with the task bar. Saves a few pixels when the window is maximized.

Sorry, but I don't buy it. Of course you should talk to lawyers first, just as Levandowski did.

But at some point, if you're truly innocent, I'm sure the best lawyers in the business could find a way for you to say "I'm not guilty" without hurting yourself.

Sanctions against a company, sure. But sanctions against a lawyer, up to and including the threat of disbarment, threatens a person's entire career and livelihood. Not that you can't find a lawyer willing to stomach the risk of walking close to that line and use their career as table stakes, but you'll pay them accordingly.

A federal judge calling out your defendant's shenanigans so strongly raises that personal risk of sanctions to the lawyer of continuing to defend that client. And the defendant will keep having lawyers bail out until they either get their act together or the case ends (probably not in their favor, since they can't even keep a lawyer around for long).

I haven't looked in detail for this example, but IIRC Phaser always supported multiple updates per tick by default, see https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/blob/9579263333d799bf7...

edit: guess I spoke too quickly, that was v3. In v2 the game loop in Phaser is more aggressive detecting "spiral of death" scenarios. Still, the idea is that if your CPU just can't deal with the given number of updates per second even when skipping renders and other "optional" stuff, then there is just no way to avoid a bad experience, either very low framerate or slow motion. Variable framerate simulations can be quite dangerous and unstable, and the example doesn't even try.

> In civil cases, the jury is free to draw its own conclusions

Actually, in the US, whether or not the jury is free to draw negative inferences from invoking the fifth varies by which jurisdictions law controls (the feds have one set of rules, states each have their own, and their are rules for when state and federal issues are in play in the same case.)

And, in any case, there is a difference from a negative inferences drawn from your failure as a result of your agent's invocation of the Fifth (e.g., Uber based on Levandowski's actions) and a negative inference against you for your invocation of the Fifth.
Some random facts I learned about Horlicks recently, totally unrelated to the article:

- Horlicks is a form of gruel, but they don't use the term in their marketing because of the negative connotations from Dickens.

- Horlicks was supposedly invented to make milk easier to digest for the lactose intolerant. I have no idea if there is a sound scientific basis for that, but the fact it's no longer marketed that way suggests not.

Also, the uses mentioned in TFA both make sense. Horlicks is just milk with added malt, both of which are full of calories (good in the morning[1]) and caffeine free (good in the evening). Milk also contains small amounts of melatonin and tryptophan, both of which promote sleep, but the amounts are so small the effect is negligible.

"I'll predict that within the next few years, the major publishers will come together and form their own subscription company with a revenue share"

That's like saying all the hotel companies should come together and form a company to compete with Expedia and Orbitz. But the hotel companies did exactly that, when they formed a joint venture to run RoomKey.com. And the team at RoomKey built some amazing technology. But the various hotel companies, who jointly owned the joint venture, fell to fighting and they starved RoomKey.com of money and independence. So RoomKey.com could have transformed the space for booking hotels, but RoomKey was sabotaged by its owners. Which turns out to be a very common story for joint ventures -- each partner has its own internal politics, and when they form a joint venture the result is complete dysfunction.

The moral of the story is: never underestimate the short-term greed and stupidity of big companies, and their ability to sabotage their own self-interest.

So don't expect the major publishers to have much success launching their own subscription service.

> "Narcotic" means numbing

Just to be clear, for anyone else reading this, that's true in the etymological sense. But from a biological or pharmaceutical standpoint, 'narcotic' has a pretty narrower meaning, referring to a specific class of drugs (which tend to produce numbing effects, but not everything with numbing effects is a narcotic).

To make matters more confusing, law enforcement, on the other hand, uses 'narcotic' as synonymous with 'any illegal drug', whether or not it actually is a narcotic (in the biological sense) or has a narcotic effect (in the literal sense that you are referring to).

For example, the 'narcotics unit' will deal with cocaine, which is used as a topical anesthetic for numbing[0], but cocaine is very much not a narcotic from a medical standpoint.

[0] in theory, you could use cocaine for a root canal, but you're more likely to get Novocaine instead.
Ah, of course. That makes sense. :)

> [W]e (the readers) do consider their world to be much better than they do (albeit not "the best").

What??? I think you've completely missed the point of tragic fiction. R&Js world totally sucks (or it would totally suck if it were real). That's the whole point. We tell the story of R&J so that we can learn its lessons without actually putting real people through that wringer. The point of tragic fiction is to say: the world would suck if it were like this, so let's try not to make it like this.

> Likewise, even though individual humans suffer, that does not preclude the possibility that this is still the best possible story for us to be collectively experiencing.

"Best" by what quality metric? By what would make the best screenplay? That's a pretty horrific way of looking at the world. The best stories are often driven by the worst experiences. All fiction, both tragedy and comedy, is driven by conflict. Again, that's the whole point: humans invented story-telling so that we could engage in shared contemplation of possible worlds that we did not want to bring into reality in addition to those we do. Just because something makes a good story doesn't mean you would actually want it to happen.
Vacuuming has traditionally been a problem with large table sizes. In TimescaleDB we break up the tables so that they are smaller. That, combined with the new freeze map feature in Postgres (since PG 9.6: http://rhaas.blogspot.jp/2016/03/no-more-full-table-vacuums....) make vacuums not an issue for us. Certainly we've never seen this issue (even on default autovacuum settings) and we've tested some huge datasets.

> Also, it's written in Java.

(Not sure if that's a praise or a criticism.)

As much as I dislike Java (ML outclasses it as a language), that's probably much better than the obvious alternatives (C and C++): there aren't nearly as many undefined behaviours, and that eliminates a whole class of potential security vulnerabilities.

If it were written now, Rust could be a viable alternative: just as safe, potentially faster, with less dependencies (at least as far as the compiled binaries are concerned).
