Totally hilarious. Exaaaaactly.

O.M.G.... 25 ways to reach someone, and no one is home. What is wrong with folks? Is this guy desperate for contact? And yet, is there an actual contact form on that mess of icons? What are even half those networks?

This guy must drink a lot of coffee (I didn't check out his Amazon Wishlist... one of his icons).

Seriously, can I just send the guy an email? Nope... I still have to decide between work and personal.

I could reach the President of the USA with greater ease.

And how he thinks 16kb is an achievement is beyond me. That's 16,000 bytes roughly... of nonsense.

Heck, if you really want to save even more bytes. Just put an email only (no HTML). The spammers will still figure it out and the rest of us and can do some cutting-and-pasting to help our caloric offsets after reading through that pile of self-promoting krap.

You need to get that data from somewhere in order for it to appear to Wikipedia. You need to analyze it. And Wikipedia would give you credit if you do the analysis yourself.

Interesting, I suppose neovim much like emacs is turning more and more into an entire OS/environment for some users nowadays using it as a windowmanager like that.
On my mac I used tmux and vim for years. However, only after building a little arch linux box did I realize I actually wanted a tiling window manager and an ide all along.

as i said i knew also plenty of Chinese couples not owning any property

as for citizenship from foreigner, it's again nonsense, plenty of those Chinese would prefer never leave China where is foreign citizenship of husband just burden

have YOU lived in China? because you seem disinformed by media and dunno about reality on the ground. i lived there for years, most of my colleagues including me were married to Chinese

no point really to follow this discussion, anyone with common sense will figure out not everyone is marrying because of money, even in China
> Most software engineers do not have serious networking or operating system knowledge.

Anecdotally, this seems wrong but may actually be sadly right.

I don't know how you can get through a decent Computer Science program without knowing these things. Although, I acknowledge quality in CS programs vary hugely.

We had to write an Operating System (with basic memory and process management), know the OSI model up and down, and be able to deep dive into TCP/IP and UDP packets. In addition to coding and math.

I'm actually pro software "engineer" but perhaps we should draw the line somewhere on a bare minimum of skills required. Probably about the line of an ABET accredited undergraduate BS in CS degree?

DevOps is a concept, not a role. It means breaking down the silos and allowing processes, ideas, capabilities to run across both SWE & operations teams. I never knew a really first-class *nix sysadmin who wasn't also a kernel hacker, so this isn't anything new, it's just got a label.

Probably the most devops-y thing you can do in an applications environment is operate a continuous delivery pipeline.

The most un-devops-y thing you can do is start a devops team.

On the contrary, it is completely obvious that Google has very little to gain from shaving a few percentage points off competitors and incur the risk of regulatory action.

The greatest danger they face is ad blockers and a general decline of the Web. If Google is in it for the money they must save the Web from death by advertising.

If an airline says someone must leave the flight, the person must leave the flight. Simple as that. I can't imagine living in a society that does not allow the airline to do so.

They can fight it out in court if they like afterwards.
I don't know any of the details about why, but zero G is good for experiments on crystal formation.
> But its the law and he knew full well that there was always a risk that he would be bumped from a flight, as any passenger does.

The contract with United says you can be denied boarding, but not much about boarding and then being kicked off after.

> If he did not want to be bumped he should buy a business class seat.

That's no guarantee. http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/aviation/328495-uni...

> Geoff Fearns, who purchased a full-priced first-class ticket to travel from Hawaii to California, was asked to get off the plane by an airline employee because the flight had been overbooked, according to The Los Angeles Times. “That’s when they told me they needed the seat for somebody more important who came at the last minute,” Fearns told the newspaper. “They said they have a priority list and this other person was higher on the list than me.”
When I was at University two individuals I knew, in different countries, WERE the Economist Intelligence Unit for those (small) countries. They were smart kids but they didn't really have a clue. They were just really good at digesting a lot of media and once they were EIU had the credibility to pick up the phone to some pundits, who liked to see themselves quoted.
I would guess they are referring to the people racking and stacking equipment, running network cables, doing any needed physical reboots, swapping out old servers, etc.

USR offered substantial discounts to BBS operators to keep us from buying cheap gear. I pre-ordered some pre-v.34 (upgradeable) Courier V.Everything for my board at BBSCon for $249/ea. I think that's about what a Sportster 14.4K was selling for at the time.
Maybe just limit eg. Danish characters to .dk, Icelandic characters to .is, Chinese characters to .cn etc., and leave .com ASCII?
I don't mind switching so long as they achieve feature parity. I love Wunderlist as it's the only todo app that has stuck for me. The one big thing that I've noticed missing is the lack of native desktop apps. For something like a todo app, I much prefer standalone apps over a web app. I hope they release one before shutting Wunderlist.
I'm disappointed that they wrote it, and whether or not they submitted it to HN it's still a blatant traffic grab. It has zero to do with error reporting.
Yeah, the issue here is that he doesn't want to block Google from indexing his site because he wants to be ranked in the results, so he allows Google to display information that is on his site. He would have to disallow reproduction of his site's materials formally, or the much easier method of robots.txt that you mention. Ideally, he would do both. But he knows that will also kill traffic because then he's limited to other search providers like (gasp) Bing.

This is all on him. Is what Google is doing shitty? Yeah. But at the same time it's almost insane that this guy knew his research could be boiled down to a single number (which is clearly displayed on his website) and his whole business model was getting Google traffic. You can't rely on an informal agreement with a titan of industry and expect to have any bargaining or negotiating power.
I have been on the X2XX series for over 10 years, counting 5 laptops.

EVERY single thing has worked with Ubuntu (every single six months release, since 12.04 only used LTS releases) and required little to no effort.

As for a "Desktop" I haven't touched one at work since 2004. TBH I believe only gamers care. And gamers like to build/adapt their own hardware. Unless you can differentiate heavily and have something unique (something like building a RED camera or a super fast Electrical car) how is that going to fly in a marked that is in decline?

Keep yourselves to building a super high end laptop that can rival a Lenovo X series model and we will look into that.

I'm a huge proponent of using the same language in front and back end. My best teams had C++ front & back, or C# front and back, even Java front and back. Even though one language/platform isn't ideal for both ends, the benefit of getting everyone on the same tools, libraries, processes and way of thinking is invaluable.

So these days where most front ends are JS, it makes a lot of sense to have a JS back end too.
This. I tried tmux but it required too much configuration, whereas Neovim just used my current terminal, already configured exactly the way I wanted it.

I had to make a few small tweaks, like making it easier to switch between VIM and terminal panes, but overall I'm very happy with the Neovim + terminal mode setup.
It makes the brand look even worse if they refuse to accept responsibility for something that was ultimately their decision. It's their supplier [contractor].

I'd like to bike to work but I live in a small town and northern climate making it very car friendly. Small roads and limited funds mean no bike paths other than painted lines with a bike symbol or as I call it the "there ya go" lanes.

In the last few years I see bikes sold here in Canada with giant tires 15cm (six inch) wide tires.

Driving is hard enough I can't really see biking in winter in -20C then add the windchill making it feel like -40C. No room to bike on the road either and sidewalks are never plowed until hours later.

The posts comparing various laptops to the Dell XPS 13 and calling them similarly sized are missing a key point: the XPS 13's lack of bezels. It is a 13" screen, but due to the lack of bezels, it basically fits in an 11" chassis.

I think that's an often overlooked detail and one of the pieces of "sexiness" that makes it very difficult to want to switch away from an XPS 13: it's so damn portable.

System76 needs to come out with something comparable to that before I can switch. The market of people who want something rugged/durable/functional are already taken care of by the Thinkpads. The market that is still untapped is that of the Linux ultrabooks. Developers and other Linux enthusiasts basically just want a MBA/MBP that runs Linux natively. Do that, and people will flock to it.

I disagree that it's a risky move at all. I have been saying that the first person that can establish a kind of validation of ads will dominate the space. It's only … unfortunately … expected that Google would finally come around to this. They have nothing to loose and everything to win.

Just like you said, they are going to block all the "bad" ads, which will also allow them to control messaging and information access even. We've already seen Google ad network being used as a political tool to undermine and attack ideological opponents. It will really only further enslave the whole internet, communications, and democracy as a whole to Google and further allow them to create a kind of exo-state corporate government that controls what you see and suppress what they don't want you to see for a whole host of reasons, which will even more increasingly become political than they have been.

We have seen it just this last election where Google inserted itself into politics and has been actively working to, undermine ideological opponents by cutting their ad revenue, and is actively involved in propagandizing people where it can through sanctimonious altruism masking the underlying reality that they are censoring on political grounds that side with those they share interests with.

It's quite ironic what is happening these days as the machinations are quite a bit the same as they were in the 1920s-1930s Europe, which led to all sorts of problems including the rise of the very same kind of authoritarianism that today equally claims that hey are acting in the best interest of the people and are sanctimoniously self-righteous. Google does not evil, right? See, we're all fine, because they have our best interest in mind, because they told us so and when I googled snopes for an answer, snopes clearly told me that there was nothing to the claim otherwise.
Every time a friend or colleague asks why I use "that" I simply thrown my laptop to the floor, pick it up and continue working on it.

4 Powerful Habits That Will Change Your Life
I was kinda expecting an image showing the optical illusion causing those crashes.
Yes, and those classes teaches you the theory while when you are working for companies you need to know the practical side of things. In our country even the theory is lagged behind the practical usage by 5-10 years. Funnily enough most the senior SREs I know do not have any formal education in CS (anecdotal evidence).
Absolutely. I've help design a few desolate properties and seen amazing results with simple keyline swales. Broad scale is definitely possible with simple machinery. Help trap and absorb some rainfall and you're off to the right start.
This is interesting -- it leads to another eventuality where, instead of blocking ads, Google replaces "bad ads" with "good ads" and provides revenue to website owners that suffer from lost revenue as a result of ad-blocking.
Either you have a plugin that's wreaking havoc, or you have something weird in your setup, because a stable Vim version crashing is not something I've seen often.
> Featured Snippets usually have a note that says “About this result,” while Knowledge Graph answers do not.

This seems like the potentially most interesting part to me. Excerpting data & web sites to build a service without citing the source or giving credit seems like it could be a copyright violation.

The snippets case at least cites the source, and has a link to get you there, so even if it is damaging to a business it's probably legal.

While copyright does have exceptions carved out for copying small snippets of a work, e.g., for educational purposes, there's no clear line for copying all of a work in thousands of tiny slices that are published separately. Seems like an area where copyright law is due for a change as a result of all things digital.

>Weird to see people happy to be limited to such stone-age work-flows when fully capable debuggers have existed for almost all proper languages out there the last 30 years.

Even though node has a debugger with breakpoints, etc., an effective programmer will still use logging in situations like the ones in the article. Taking the first example, before he knew that NaNs were causing the problem, setting a breakpoint would have taken forever to reveal anything. You can't set a conditional breakpoint until you know what the condition is. Logging was the fastest way to get useful clues.
