Hmmm. I don't think you've read the book.
One problem with this is that if an instance is a "mailing list", it's currently not possible to join multiple mailing lists with the same e-mail address. That said this would not be as big a problem with e-mail addresses as it is in Mastadon; as WorldMaker mentions, the analogy breaks down because of the public feed - if you want to create an alias, you need to duplicate your public feed, and if you have things like the federated feed and hashtag search, you're going to end up with a lot of duplicated content out there.

If you had a lot of people cross-posting to different mailing lists with similar subscriber lists, I imagine people would be really annoyed if they had no way of merging your duplicated content.

The one awesome feature I've been enjoying so far with TODO that Wunderlist doesn't have is the tight integration with Outlook. Right now, 90% of my Wunderlist lists are work-related projects, and the fact that I can sync TODO and Outlook tasks is going to be killer.

From what I hear (from people working at Microsoft on the Office team more broadly, so take it with some salt): the Wunderlist team has been taking more leadership roles within Office, and the goal was to integrate Wunderlist in about every product. However, much of the back-end needed to be moved to Microsoft's tools and services, which needed a virtual re-write & reboot of sorts.

The one holdup is out IT team hasn't enabled TODO yet for our company's Office 365 account yet, so I need to use my personal Outlook account.

I was pleasantly surprised at the "My Day" feature and the task suggestions so far. I have about ~150 tasks in TODO at the moment, and the suggestions for adding to my day were a good balance of newer urgent items and older backburner items that I had forgotten about.
That's a nice theory, but we don't have office 365 and I didn't create the account haha.
Also in Canada, I just assumed they were still doing it -- I don't watch any children-targeted media so I wouldn't see it anyway.

How to ask a developer about a web based app?
Question: What do I say to a developer to explain that I want someone to rewrite my PC Desktop application code (.Net/C++) into a web-based, platform independent version that won't cost $100K everytime Windows/Word/SQL unleash a new update? Should I ask if he/she can use a particular stack/approach and if so, what is a good main-stream stack/approach that makes sense. Honestly, I don't care what stack/approach, just one that can work, won't get me up a creek without a paddle next year, and one that other developers won't laugh at. Obviously, I'm not a tech founder.
The "not invented here" mentality has to stop.

This is true, but the track record of bugs and poor security inherent in using relatively low-level languages like C and C++ for everyday Internet-connected applications also has to stop.

I run a quant/hft trading group. We need to know what the margin impact of our position will be. We use a tool from CME called PC-SPAN. The various factors that impact margin change during the day as prices change. I'd pay for a SAAS where I upload a position and get lots of useful margin reports back. We have built some of this but it is a distraction.

There are only 3 forms of bit storage, historically.

1) Poking holes in things ( tape, DVD, etc )
2) Magnets ( core memory, drum memory, tape, disks )
3) Circuits ( DRAM, NAND, etc )

Examples of all three of these still exist.

What's interesting about XPoint is it is literally a fourth form that has never been commercially available: melting a substance and cooling it quickly or slowly, forming either a crystal or amorphic solid, which then has different properties. We don't know what the substance is, but it's cool that we now have this 4th thing.

Look at movie theaters. They make all their money to a first approximation from popcorn and soda. The movie is just the loss leader that gets people in the door.

Maybe this is a joke, and then I'd say it's pretty neat one. I mean, just look at that, what other language got a similar problem of that scale! And let's not pretend it all passed and we are happily moving forward: this year (this month, actually) I've seen very prominent NN-course, suggesting Python 2.7 for all assignments and code samples, and quite useful library (also NN-related), supporting 2.7 only. I guess, some of mitsuhiko's (Ronarcher's) developments didn't move to 3.* as well.

So, yeah, IPython dropping 2.7 is pretty huge. Almost like moving to a different language.

Skype no longer works on my wife's Windows 7 laptop. The latest update was pushed without being accompanied by the new MSVC DLL's that it needs, and so doesn't start. I haven't been able to install the redistributable run-time separately, and so it is in a foobared state.
Try using Skype for business... Your chat history is gone when you switch to another app and is not even saved on a PC. It's always the question if a chat ends up on your laptop of mobile. You frequently miss chats or have a "you missed a chat" email, even though you were logged in. It is an insanely poor product. I guess it's not where their focus is. It could easily be a Slack alternative except that it is so bad.

I dont want to go look it up to verify and properly link a citation etc, but I think Schumpeter argued that monopolies are actually good for innovation, at least of the (what's the term?) big bang, fundamental kind, because in a highly competitive marked you can't afford to set aside a significant % of budget for fundamental r&d that's only going to pay off in the very long term and not get outcompeted in the meantime.
How is it worse for the consumer, though? I don't see how, under capitalism, its even possible for an abusive company to maintain a strong position.
Looking into active directory based features in Azure (key vault, etc) convinces me that somehow active directory is to blame for a lot of the confusing account issues around Azure. I get the feeling a lot of the microsoft authentication systems are built on top of active directory, which does not seem like the most straightforward auth system out there.
A good demonstration of this is if you flip the comparison to something computers find easy. The world's fastest human seems to be able to do maybe 2 calculations per second, I've not got the details but let's assume that's a reasonable yardstick.

That's 0.02 FLOPS/W.

RIKEN apparently is at about 7GFLOPS/W. That's three hundred billion times more efficient.

Not a fair comparison, but that's kind of the point.

I don't have a mobile phone so that's fine, I can get texts on Google Hangouts or Skype but their account software refuses to send the verification texts to those numbers.

Fortunately there's an option to have them call you but they refuse to send call my home phone system that is registered with my name and that is a valid e911 number associated with an e911 address. A call with a Microsoft support person confirmed that nope, I can not sign up for Azure.
Soft failing isn't for "usability". OCSP simply doesn't work in situations where you would otherwise soft-fail, not because of any problem with the certificate, but because the protocol itself does not work.

Wouldn't that value mostly be based off popularity? Chrome is vastly more popular than Firefox - therefore it's less valuable to exploit a smaller number of users.

It probably depends on each of our anecdotal experiences. I've worked with and met some higher ups in companies and government organizations that would actually react like this and I met some that were very well educated. Unfortunately I've worked with far more of the former than the latter.

So to me it seems fair but depending on your experience I could see it as a cheap shot for upvotes as well.
Among other things, Chrome (and even Edge) are lightyears ahead when it comes to sandboxing, and were designed with sandboxing in mind. Mozilla is slowly catching up - they've started shipping some sandboxing features since Firefox 50 - but there's still a long way to go.
I agree with most of this; all the change has not instilled confidence in the product. I'd use a product with zero styling and a squiggled line for a logo if it meant it wouldn't pull me away from other things while failing after an update.
Work or school is a federated option, using ADFS to do the authentication using your company's Active Directory info. If you choose that, when you enter your work email address, it'll redirect you to your company's ADFS login page. It's used a lot with Azure AD.

Reminded me of a really interesting "empty nose syndrome" article from a couple months back.
It's an incredible product as-is, but I feel like they are stuck between a rock and a hard place with moving forward and forecasting beyond the immediate future.

I don't see why a new implementation couldn't maintain the current UI/native feel outside of poor decision making.

I could see it as a net positive, with cleaner easier to maintain code base built on more recent tech that is more accommodating to younger developers.

If they could pull off what Atom.io/Github did for the old ingrained IDE world in a mail client, that would be incredible, IMO.
Another thing to look at is the person's overall role. Are they an IC? Or do they have other tasks? I have many fewer commits these days than I did a few years ago. Is that because I've become lazy?

Maybe, but that's not the whole explanation. The whole explanation includes job duties that now involve managing a team, performing analysis and leadership functions for several business areas, setting agency standards, and so on. None of those tasks appear as commits in the version control system but still are assigned tasks that take up time.

When I am working on code I often still don't have the commit. A team member may come to me, "I have a question, I'm stuck on this part..." Then together we will investigate and discover a way forward. I'll then leave it to them to complete and commit it. Their name is the only name on the commit, but did I add any value? I hope so!
That sounds very much like the the broken window fallacy
Ignoring air resistance, both large and small objects fall about 5 meters in the first second.

Expressed in terms of their size, however, large objects fall less far. For example, a 100m diameter rock falls just 5% of its diameter in that second, a 1m one falls five times its diameter. That tricks your brain.

Also, for the video you show, there is quite a bit of non-falling, with the rock sliding down/tilting. Rolling down a hill is harder for large objects than for normal size objects (very small objects may roll slower again both because of relatively larger air resistance and because the slope may be rougher at smaller scale)
Let's say you're using 2x 10 core CPUs per 1U PC, in a 42U rack. That's 840 cores per rack, 262 racks. You won't fit that in a house, you need a moderately large datacenter.

At 100W per CPU that's 22kW, which feels low; about a tenth of a Tesla and a fraction of a plane. That doesn't account for the cooling you'll need!

(You can probably do a lot better, but that's my piano tuners estimate)
Looks like there are a number of differences:

I once subscribed to Office and am pretty sure I had to supply my first and last name once if not multiple times. But the final confirmation email still started with "Dear null null".
I've seen things go the other way around. As an example, use Chrome Canary to browse https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/its-like-tweeting... and then use Firefox Nightly. Chrome can barely manage to keep up with scrolling while Firefox chugs along nicely.

The only issues Firefox has are when you get to media handling and non-standard APIs from Chrome. 99.9% of websites "work" on all browsers though and I haven't seen any need to run Chrome for a specific website (Google Docs used to be a case but not anymore).

I think he means Microsoft. There was a lot of emphasis on playing nice with windows in the conference. Good for developers all around. We were joking that it might be setting up the stage for an acquisition. I am personally hoping Docker follows the path of Redhat.
As you said. the Work/School Account is one provided by your employer (normally), and usually comes from Active Directory (or AzureAD).

The Personal accounts (also called Microsoft accounts/IDs or Live IDs) are the ones you as an individual create directly with Microsoft. The prime example would be people who've had a Hotmail account for ages, and that eventually became a Microsoft account.

The confusion comes because since a couple years ago, you can create Microsoft accounts with any e-mail that you own, be it personal, from work, hosted in gmail, hosted by your employer, hosted by yourself... You name it. So it is possible to create a Microsoft account with your work e-mail, even if your work e-mail also has a Work/School Account tied to it. All the notifications for that Microsoft account will go there, but they are not for your "Work/School Account" (also referred to as Organizational account), they are for your personal one.

Yes, it is a mess. After a while I got used to it and now I'm comfortable navigating all my identities, but it can be very annoying when you first encounter it.
It means: Solving your problem first > Solving others' problems (that don't affect you). The reasoning is that you are an expert in problems that affect you.

If the problem affects the whole world, including yourself, then it falls in the left bucket.
> I, Robot were both quite accurate, loving adaptations of his work

I, Robot is not an Asimov adaptation. It's, being somewhat generous, something that has some thematic fit with some of his works, and assumes a couple character an organization names from some other of his works.

It also suffers from trying to layer that and its original mystery-story origins with a big-budget star-driven action movie, losing focus badly.
Managing accounts is a massive problem everywhere. I recently moved from Australia to the USA, and I have been having this problem ad-nauseam. Try switching your Google developer account to a US bank, or your amazon, paypal or god knows how many others. I accidentally put skype credits on the wrong skype account, and was hoping to be able to merge accounts somehow, but ending up just deciding it wasn't worth the $20.
The point is China doesn't really care about the ISS. They are just happy building their won from scratch. In the long run, it makes them much better, because they're learning from their own mistakes and successes.

We're our own worst enemy.
I'm trying to keep an offline copy of my inbox using IMAP. I changed every setting I could find (like no cache limit, download the entire message instead of just the headers, ignore message age, don't delete any messages) and it still wants to download entire folders from time to time instead of just the changes. Maybe I did something wrong but that's my experience with IMAP support. It's also pretty slow but that might be some Gmail limitation.
> The main problem I have is the fact that you are pretty tied in with your instance.

That is in fact emerging as a feature of Mastodon. While messages can and do propagate quite effectively, it takes much longer than Twitter and does so less reliably. This means instance choice has a very profound effect on both who you talk with and who you will reach.

It's still entirely possible to follow people on other instances, and it works fine. But it discourages certain types of use:

1. Advertisers: reach is much less predictable.
2. Spammers & trolls: While troll instances exist, they get blocked.
3. Bots. See above, it's painful & captcha-gated to open accounts on many instances.

Search in the context of microblogging frameworks like this has always been of questionable value, as ranking on recall is almost terrifyingly time-gated. This further damages the reach of any ONE message but allows for conversations as a whole to be somewhat observable (e.g, gaming vs #gameing).

> If, client-side, I just create a bot that auto-posts on multiple instances, if my followers on a given instance are following different versions of my account, the federated feed on that instance will be spammed with multiple posts.

I would advise not doing this, as we will start to block all your accounts. Attempting to chorus-spam the federated timeline will show up very quickly.

In summary: The slightly slower and less reliable delivery is a feature for human discourse at the expense of automated discourse. That is good, not bad.

It can be frustrating when you as a human have to maintain outsized attention on two or more locales. We can fix this client side (maybe) or we can solve this structurally. In effect, the community is preferring the later. There are many very small instances (even witches.town is pretty small) all arrayed around a few very central "hub" instances where most of the traffic originates from due to population.

You may track your hub account frequently but need to do much less work for spoke accounts.

The experiment of: "Your choice of primary identity and its location having consequences on your experience of the network" is fascinating. I have instances I am on only for the local timeline. I would not want them to mix with my more public account.
