The trouble is, from the point of view of basically everyone producing those devices, the current "what will every browser do this week" situation is not a viable platform to support in the traditional way. They can tell you their box works with certain browsers that are available at the time you buy it, but why is -- or should -- it be their problem if they supply a working product and then someone they have no control over updates a browser they didn't know you were using and something breaks?

If admins don't like this, they need to expect to pay a huge amount of money for ongoing support contracts that actively update to support new versions of browsers, or they need to stop demanding web-based config interfaces and get used to installing native software that uses proprietary protocols that will reliably still work next week as well.

The idea that vendors of devices that often have working lifetimes of 5-10 years or more should be responsible for keeping up with every little browser update for every "evergreen" browser throughout that lifetime as part of routine support is just not commercially viable, and that's why approximately no-one offers it.
As much as I dislike Google services. Their account stuff just works. For everything they create. It just works.

I love MS stuff, but they have the worst account process ever, closely followed by Apple.

I do wish MS would sort their act out in regards to accounts.

5) Electrostatic charge. Talking about the Williams tube. The bits are stored as residual charge on a phosphor surface.
No. Less popular browsers are also more expensive than Chrome, and the price difference isn't even close to linear. The fact is that Chrome exploits are much harder to write and command a higher price.

> "Try using Skype for business... Your chat history is gone when you switch to another app and is not even saved on a PC."

Assuming you're in a corp environment, that's likely an IT decision, not a MS one. If you go to Options -> Personal there are two checkboxes for saving IM conversations and call logs in your Conversation History folder in Outlook. Mine are grayed out because IT decided to disable them (I'm sure to meet some corp requirement).
This is why I use Postfix and Cyrus for my personal mail. I get Postfix to pre-parse transform the '-' char to '+'; this way I can use email addresses that stupid systems don't barf at but can still get mail delivered to the right mailbox (including sub mailbox if it exists). e.g. me-junk@mydomain.tld goes directly to my junk mail box :)
As a big fan of Jodorowsky (L'Incal is one my favourite graphic novels ever), I think we could also unequivocally say that whatever he had made would not have been very faithful to the book. It's quite possible that Dune fans would have been even less happy with Jodorowsky's film than Lynch's.

We also have to remember that this was before Star Wars and Alien. Most scifi at the time was, with some honourable exceptions (2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running, The Andromeda Strain, Solaris), pretty silly, childish, often campy stuff: The Black Hole, Buck Rogers, Moonraker. Pulp origins aside, Star Wars introduces a level of violence, maturity and realism to the genre that stood out at the time, and closer to that of contemporary adult 1970s productions like Apocalypse Now, Easy Rider and so on.

For all the considerable talent involved in the Dune adaptation, it's quite possible — and this eases the pain over the loss of the project a bit — that it would have been closer in tone to something like Zardoz or Flash Gordon, i.e. a big, colourful, but ultimately also a bit silly extravaganza. Even O'Bannon's Alien script was also pretty pulpy and silly until Ridley Scott, David Giler and Walter Hill hammered it into shape.
"So in your view they replaced an allegedly paper-thin (but pretty unique by SF standards) characterization of Susan Calvin as "old, ugly, cerebral, misanthropic" with the far thinner and less unique "young, pretty and in distress" and that's somehow a good thing?"

That's not an accurate characterization of what I said, which you can see if you read what I actually wrote instead of what you expected me to write. If you wish to carry on debating with the things you expect me to say rather than what I'm actually saying, I don't see how you need me to help you with that.
Are you blind? That is completely false and the evidence is right above for everybody to see...
How so? Replay might be a bit of a concern, but it's fairly time limited. The other stuff cited by Langley is just down to usability alone.
That's why I put the quotes around "shouldn't".

> if we ever switch 'python' to 'python3'... you won't know on a given machine if it's python2 or python3

This kind of already happened. Arch already has Python 3 as 'python', and if you use any of the popular environment tools (virtualenv, pyenv, conda), whichever version of Python you pick when creating an environment will be 'python' inside that env.

It's not that big a problem, though. It's quite possible to write code that runs on both Python 2 and 3, and it's surprisingly rare (in my experience) to call unqualified 'python' rather than using an explicit path.
Yes, they need to fix a lot of things. Also if you use Onedrive online, you are automatically logged into Skype every time you use onedrive. You cannot log out. You can set yourself invisible, but you will be set back to online next time you log in again. It is ridiculous.

Another point is that you cannot use a "work account" you use in office365 as your personal account for OneDrive etc.

The fifth sentence of the article is Peel back the layers and you’ll find that the corporate entity is actually one hell of a real estate company.

This sounds right. So this prompt is essentially asking me to tell them which buttons my boss pressed when he created my account.
>Have you seen the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune"?

I find it hard to praise as a lot of what gets passed off as Jodorowsky's 'work' is actually Moebius's work and as a big Moebius fan its disheartening to see the narrative downplay his achievements here to create this 'mad genius' Jodorowsky character. Yes it makes for good entertainment, but its not really fact and the documentary is very wary about giving credit where credit is due. Worse, the ending that showed future art as being derivative of this production was completely disingenuous. That art shown was already the established style of the people involved. Jodorowsky and his crazy Dune ideas didn't inspire Moebius, Giger, O'Bannon and others, they simply took their talents elsewhere. Of course the drawings and set ideas look alike, these people were already established artists at this point in their careers with established styles.
"Carbon steel is soft" - uh, most metal is probably going to be soft if it isn't heat treated, but carbon steel can become so brittle it shatters when you tap it.

And Damascus steel isn't particularly good. It's mainly an artsy gimmick. But that's not to say you can't still have a strong, sharp Damascus blade. The visual has nothing to do with how the knife performs.

He's right that you only need three knives: A large thick chef's knife, a smaller thin knife, and a generic serrated knife. None of these have to be good at all to cook with, but you will enjoy cooking more with purpose-made cutlery made of hard steel that you can simply re-hone to keep them working efficiently. A "good" stainless steel is often perfectly fine, but most often it will not stay as sharp as long.

But if you're new to culinary knives, you should not go out and buy good knives. You should buy a pack of a bunch of different looking shit knives for about $30-40, the heavier the better. Practice cooking with them. You will notice some knives are annoying with certain cutting techniques, and how your shit knives may actually be too shitty to practice certain techniques. Hopefully you will learn to take care of your knives, what kind of cutting surfaces to use, how to hone or sharpen them, etc so when you go to buy a good set, you get what you actually want to use.

After cooking with shit knives, you may learn you don't mind knives that can't cut a tomato without poking through the skin first and then slicing from the meaty part. But that's basically how you choose a knife - whether your knives are sharp or will stay sharp, whether they "feel right", how much you care about maintenance. If you don't care about any of this, use shit knives. If you are a dork like me, make your own knife.

If you do want a good knife but don't want to spend the money, learn about good manufacturers of older knives and look for some at a local flea market. You may only need to sharpen it or maybe put a new edge on it, both of which are easy once practiced. No need to spend $150 on a knife you can find online or in a flea market for $25.

IDN homograph attacks are old, but - as the original article shows - people are still vulnerable to this when you manage to make a full name homograph entirely within one language in Unicode. The only fixes for it that come to my mind are dropping IDN altogether, disambiguating homographs on IDN level, or... disambiguating Unicode.
Interesting assertion. Back in 2008 when Chrome was released, that was exactly the same feeling people had about it. I remember some of us where sad to see the search bar and address bar combined, along with other stuff that Firefox, Explorer and other browsers had.

If I remember correctly, one of Chrome's objectives since the beginning has been to remove a lot of functionality and clutter (o yeah, the menu bar was another thing that Chrome did not have and drove some people crazy).

People with binge eating disorder (BED) face considerable stigma.

This is a clip from a BBC Radio programme that lets women talk about what it's like.

The full programme (24 minutes) is here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07pjnsd

I don't know if anything from BED is transferable. I eat too much, but it's not disordered eating. I just need to cook from scratch more often.

Image Processing in Python with Pillow
An advantage of universal systems is that because everyone is treated the same and benefits, it is less likely to create critics of the system from people who would only criticize it because it’s unfair that they don’t benefit. With less critics of the system, the system is more stable and less likely to be undermined and dismantled by future governments.

The progressiveness of a universal system still exists, whereby lower income persons benefit more than higher income persons, it’s just expressed via a progressive tax system, and not means testing.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's fair to call Edge evergreen. Updates to Edge come via OS updates, which can be quite a hassle and many corporate environments might not perform at a regular basis.

That link makes no mention of comparative exploit price, is that the correct one? It doesn't even contrast security features with Firefox...

Fact is, exploit price is a crappy way to do such a comparison, there are too many other factors that can play into it - like what browsers companies and governments have deployed.

MOOCs Started Out Completely Free. Where Are They Now?
Well, that's the thing... Microsoft wasn't selling directly to these companies. They had a network of resellers and system integrators. And basically, outside of a few niche industries, businesses basically had to use Microsoft by default. Once these system integrators were in, they would use those relationships to push new products -- because Microsoft. The more customers, the more product categories they own, and the more system integrators using Microsoft. It feels a lot like network effects to me -- but I think I was using a broader view of their non-consumer sales strategy (Ballmer was a freaking genius in this right -- just not so much as a product guy).
MIT found a way to monetize something that Stanford had given away for free. Not saying it's right, but it's a business decision. Also, it's a joke. People seem to be taking it rather seriously, which says more about their levels of (in)security than anything.

Whatever you do, make it render emails in a sane way. I still prefer mutt text-only rendering of emails (content) than any email rendering software, but if you're going to render and digest html, actually do it. The total time involved in and barbarity with which web atrocities have been committed to make emails render correctly in Outlook or even Gmail cannot be understated.
Not the mention the article already says the machine he started with was these n1-highcpu-32s, so it's a pretty safe bet that he continued using it for this.
It does! But make sure to update pip itself (pip install --upgrade pip), because it only does the right thing as of pip 9.0. Some of the IPython team actually worked on the infrastructure (pip & pypi) to make this possible, to minimise the pain for installing on Python 2.
Me too, and I still think it is actually.
My recollection of that period is that Microsoft kept changing the formats of Word and Excel files fast enough that trying edit those files with Word Perfect or Lotus was domed to fail. At some point even finding a common version among different versions of Word was almost impossible.

Sure, but that's because the US has so much spread out. In the UK, almost everything internationally interesting is in London. Sure there's "Scotland" (a day trip to edinburgh), "Shakespereland" (day trip to Stratford on Avon), "Beatlesland" (day trip to Liverpool), and maybe Stonehenge (day trip to Salisbury) but the majority of things are in London. The Lake District or Scottish highlands are good, but you get mountains and lakes all over the world.

In the US the capital is Washington, and that's interesting to some extend, but you've got the big tier cities - NY and LA, and the next tier of touristy cities like Philly/Boston (for 'history'), San Francisco, Vegas and maybe Seattle and Chicago.

If you were to have the historical, financial, political and entertainment capital all in Washington, which is what you have with France, UK, Sweden etc, then that would be a far more exciting destination than just the political capital.

That doesn't really help you when the platform you run on be it a browser or a virtual machine is written in C/C++ which by implication can be exposed to the same security flaws if/when they utilize unsafe design patterns or idioms. So, all you've done is pass the buck onto Servo/Gecko/Safari. The reality is that you can't make an argument that's ironclad in favor of forcing JS to become the new C. Let JS do it's wonders for the web and let C/C++ and other languages that have great native application tools do their wonders for the desktop?

> We need 2 persons for the framework, 3 for backend modules, 4 for frontend UI, and 1 for theming.

Doesn't 4 people dedicated to front-end UI seem excessive/unnecessary? At least, at the beginning? I would dedicate almost all work to the framework and backend modules; UI with web technologies is far from complicated compared to everything else the client would require.
Yes, but as a consumer I don't care about that differentiation.. Just make it transparent.. merge my authorization rules or something...

If you can't figure this out, it really reinforces the reason for every time we come across something in Azure where we're like wtf isn't this feature supported?
That makes a lot of sense if we're talking about using Gecko to render the contents of arbitrary HTML emails. However, this proposal seems to be about problems supporting the UI itself and proposing a move to some other JS+HTML rendering system as an alternative. At first glance, that appears to be a separate issue, other than both types of functionality possibly relying on Gecko today and rendering engines being quite large so using two different ones not being desirable.

My point is that I am intentionally paying for bundled, consumption-ready opinions about the world. I have other news sources for more detailed "just the facts" coverage of places and subjects I care about, but nobody has enough time to keep up with the entire world at that level. The Economist gives me a nice overview of world events from a well-defined, consistent, relatively moderate viewpoint, and often covers topics that other "general interest" news sources don't.

I completely understand that not everyone agrees with their views or likes this style of journalism, I just disagree that there's any "trick" or false advertising going on.
