Sometimes when I click a link I get to a site I never visited before and I don't know that before having got there. They could have ads, they could not have ad. They could use JS to display even text content, they could not use any JS at all. They could serve malware, they could fingerprint me, they could run some bitcoin miner in the JS they serve. They could be totally honest. I really don't know. In some cases they don't know too.

That's why I'm adblocking everything and I visit sites with NoScript, Self Destructing Cookies, DisableWebRTC among the others. Better safe than sorry.

And about the right to render bits and bytes however I wish, I use Stylish for those few sites that do really wierd things with their layout.

By the way, a browser renders bit and bytes as it wishes, starting from the html file and maybe stopping there or going as far as precaching linked pages.
We've already tried that, and it failed spectacularily:

Graphite 1.0.0 Released
Graphite 1.0.0 is now available for usage. This marks the first release of Graphite’s main line in many years. Also, there’s a new optional component available: Carbonate, a suite of tools for managing and rebalancing Whisper files.

Most users will only need to install the Graphite-Web, Carbon, and Whisper components.

See http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.0/releases/1_0_0.html for the full release notes. A bugfix version for the 0.9.x series was also released.

For those with intensive use of Graphite, alternative storage backends are also available (more details on http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.0/storage-backends.html).

One of the new players in the area is BigGraphite, a Python TSDB using Cassandra and shipped with Carbon and Graphite plugins that was open-sourced this year by Criteo:

A user with an ad blocker normally uses less bandwidth.

Should they download the ad and pretend to display it? Then the site still gets the impression and everybody wins.
CSR Racing Cheat Hacker (Android, iOS)
I was happy to pay, and starting using Contributor the moment I found out about it.

Not nearly enough ads were replaced by Contributor. Worse, it was the more innocuous ones that were replaced, while the most obnoxious blared on through.

On top of that, it showed me the absolutely paltry amount paid out to the sites running the ads.

So back came adblock, and Contributor mostly just helped on my mobile browsing. I bought Contributor to contribute to the sites, and some for Google, not majority Google, dribble for sites.
Another more common eye(lid) problem people often give themselves is painful infections on the tip of the eyelids called styes. It's usually caused by someone rubbing their eyes with their hands because it's a double-whammy of cross-contaminating eyes/hands and it embeds surface bacteria into crypts of sebaceous glands.

Also, I heard from a contact wearer another painful accident is forgetting to rinse contacts with sterlie saline after they've been cleaned, that it burns pretty good. Nothing like losing your corneas, but still Pavlovian human monkey training.
As far as I know there are plenty of XNA games running on both pc and Xbox in C#.
And that is pretty much the worst applications you can use c# for because, you know, latency.
I don't see any real blocker to have complex c# apps on the desktop, apart maybe the quite shitty clickonce and the continuous need to have an upgraded .net framework to use the new features.
But now for UWP apps the default is c#, they can be installed directly from the store, and with Roslyn you basically need only to target .net 4.5 to have all the features of the last version of the language.
And this is a huge win that admittedly JavaScript already had because of transpiling.
If I had to write a commercially distributed desktop application nowadays I would use for sure c# or f#, not JavaScript.

There are situations where one has a choice between putting in the required work and becoming competent at a task, or waiting and hoping that the task will be simplified so that they can approach it with their current level of understanding. Unsurprisingly, the latter is not the path to personal growth.

A good example is the tech competence of the general population. Computer savvy or proudly dismissive? Now we have seen the technological improvements that allow people without tech skills to perform all sorts of tasks that they couldn't before.

The drawback is that the general population is at the mercy of the providers of these magic tools. If the provider decides to increase prices or move to a subscription model, they have to accept it. If the provider adds tracking & analytics and other privacy-invasive functionality they will be outraged, and then accept it. If the provider updates their app and puts features behind a paywall or completely redesigns the UI because their designers were getting bored, those people will have to grin and bear it.

e.g: Microsoft has decided to transform Windows into spyware: they can run code remotely, log keystrokes and upload them to their cloud, etc.
Most people either don't have a clue or can't do anything about it, because they outsourced their software skills to Microsoft, which worked well enough until Microsoft decided that their interests are not aligned with those of their customers.

JS developers are another example of this - they are prisoners of JavaScript, although I wager most of them would say that they're happy to live in their golden cage rather than in the technological jungle that they're unfamiliar with.

This will only result in a generation of helpless individuals cobbling components together in a decent enough way to call it software.

The GP comment is:

> I don't agree with the policy but surely you use vacation time not sick leave when your children are sick?

My reply to it is "No". I surely don't use vacation time instead of sick leave to care for sick family members. I can't really make this any clearer and as far as relevant to GP's point, it's an answer to their question. Even if we didn't have that system I wouldn't take out vacation days should this problem show up. It's not vacation.

Cygwin isn't terrible; it's much better than mingw for the simple reason that it provides an environment much closer to POSIX. Its biggest problem is forking speed. I don't think it has a second big problem; the next biggest is the crashes you get if you do partial updates and don't rebaseall.

Cygwin enabled me to stick with Windows since 2003 or so, and have the same environment on Windows, Linux and OS X. The command line is where I spend most of my time, and apart from Firefox every daily app I use on Windows is a cygwin app, from tmux through to Emacs.

IANAL, but that specifically deals with denial of boarding, which isn't technically applicable to the incident in question. Moreover, it only applies in context of oversold flights, and the flight was not oversold.

Assuming it does apply, there's no outright prohibition on denial of boarding to confirmed reserved space passengers. It merely says that the airline must ensure that the smallest practicable number of confirmed reserve space passengers are involuntarily denied boarding.

The deadheading crew was likely using positive-space employee passes that had a higher seating priority than any ticketed passengers on the flight. According to the definition of "confirmed reserved space"[0], those employees may very well qualify as such. I could find no specific statement suggesting that employees are not considered passengers for the purposes of the definition, let alone deadheading employees that are not involved in the operation of that particular flight.

There's even a section on boarding priority that's pretty vague and largely boils down to having a reasonable policy in place to deal with situations where insufficient volunteers come forward to take advantage of compensation.[1]

> Proper learning is not rushed and hyper competitive, but what the average student encounters is.

Exactly. Unfortunately, I was way too idealistic during my studies. I was a "real" learner, meaning I had no problems actually explaining concepts to my fellow students. But unlike them (who often couldn't) I didn't focus my energy on "hacking" the GPA. I once witnessed a fellow student getting almost full points on a task for simply writing down a only slightly related exercise he memorized (including numbers not mentioned in the actual task!). I wouldn't have thought of that! Another time I lost points for using my own words to give an answer. I asked the TA how what I wrote was wrong. She said it was actually correct but not noted in the sample solution and thus: no points. Naturally, as a result of things like these my GPA is pretty mediocre now which makes job hunting a pain. :(
> It can be shown that there is no algorithm that can generate the shortest program for computing arbitrary given data on a given computer [2, 9, 1]. In particular, our physicists cannot expect to find the most compact description of our universe.

This seems wrong to me. There exists no general algorithm to find the shortest program to compute arbitrary data, but we can surely find specific shortest programs to compute arbitrary data.

Troy Hunt wrote about his experience with self-hosted ads a while ago [1]. Basically, he added a as-non-intrusive-as-possible "banner" (if you can even call it that) at the top of the content. Ad blockers blocked it. He changed the markup to avoid being caught by a false positive. Ad blockers (Adblock Plus with EasyList in this case) blocked it again.

I made similar experiences in the past, to the point where our API broke because we had the audacity to call one of our API endpoints "metric" (for a metrics service), which got caught by one of the over-zealous regexes of EasyList.

For some context, I've looked at what causes this slowdown. For some reason stack has mapped an mind-bogglingly huge region of memory (I'm talking dozens of terabytes).

I love the idea of Uber and what it did to urban commuting, around the world and especially where I live (South India, where private transport for hire was monopolised by auto-rickshaws).

But, I definitely think the execution could've been a lot better. Sure, be aggressive with pricing, influencing public policy and marketing but to persist with it and taking it beyond subtlety is a silly, distracting move. By going the other extreme in curbing monopolies, they have alienated hard-working drivers who are feeling the heat now. Drivers tell me they work longer hours for lower payouts. Many of them are unable to make enough to pay back loans taken out to purchase their cars.

I'm not sure if this was due to demands imposed by investors on aggressive expansion and growth or if it's something that Uber consciously chose to do. Either way, I fear the worst and that this will be an another short-lived experiment.

It does imply she was using them when she got the infection. However, it doesn't say anything about her usage habits. It's possible to misuse the disposable contacts. For example, by wearing them more than once or keeping them in too long. I wish it had gone further into that. I would very much like to know if it's possible to get this type of infection even if you only use them once a day and do all of the hygienic things you're supposed to do. I shower with my contacts pretty regularly. Showering without them actually kinda sucks. :(

Yup. Open ports to the world is a terrible idea for anything real. This is why SSH jumpboxes (say a roundrobin pair of OpenBSD VMs with ssh rbash &| strongswan. Add secure portknocking to the pf firewall for bonus points.)

I think one of the strengths of matrix (in addition to federation) is first-class bridging. I already communicate to several IRC networks, gitter and slack via matrix. I only have to use one matrix client and it enables me to communicate with people on several different networks/services. No monstrous electron apps that load the web UIs of several services in different tabs. The server-side in matrix handles the bridging and I can use any matrix client I like.

The real problem is that Google approves pretty much everyone for AdSense. Which works in favor of scammers and plagiarism. Someone scrapes content from respectable sites, parse them through an article spinning mechanism and voila, you have a legitimate looking site with absolutely no original content on it. Google shouldn't be approving any of those sites for ads. But they do, and that's a bit shocking for all of us who grew fond of them because of the "do no evil" mantra. Well Google, you're doing evil and perhaps it's time to do something about it.
