Please don't. I used to write a diary with meaningless essays when I was in the second grade. When I rediscovered it as an adult, I found them so embarrassing that I threw it away. It's hard to say how much I wish I hadn't done that. Those idiotic essays could have been my good memories; little reminders of how I thought in the past. Same happened with the old applications I wrote when I was starting out programming.

I still have an embarrassing history intact on various internet forums. I wanted to obliterated it some time back, but I realised there is nothing to feel humiliated about your past idiocy, it's in fact a great reminder to keep of how much you have grown.
There is a middle ground between "random hardware" and one Apple device, clearly evidenced by the Hackintosh community. The difference is that Apple can more effectively support a whitelist of components than the Hackintosh community that is already doing it on a volunteer basis.

May contain an error or two, but that's the general gist of it.
Lawyers generally take physical security seriously but rarely give digital security much thought. They're often working on their own (somewhere between 1/4 to 1/2 of lawyers are independent/very small firm in Canada/US). This means they don't have the time, expertise or money to invest in knowing what to do or how to do it. But I've found they usually do want to know and that was the reason for this presentation.

This isn't a list of the best things to do, it's a list of some practical steps that can make things better. But ultimately the right level of security depends on the importance of the client communications. Some things are fine to do as Google Docs and other things you'll want to do with in-person meetings where no phones are allowed.
The reason we went for Turbo Pascal in the old days was the readability. ( it was C or Pascal )
Thanx!
This would explain why I continue to be asked to do reviews despite having a tiny publication record and having left academia once I finished the Ph.D. I had no idea editors were so desperate. Personally I'm pretty happy to review because it helps me stay current, but I know how busy academics are. (Which is among the reasons I got out!)

Curious if thesecuritynews is your website.
I said it on Twitter.. F9 stuck the landing 1 minute before I had to walk out the door with my 5yo daughter and she was really happy to see it. Then through the bus window as it was pulling away, she made rocket-taking-off hands that went up to space... and then came back down and landed again. I'll be able to tell her about how nice that was to see someday :)
This is a crazy list. Great to see it all in one place though. I don't pay that much attention to the domain registration space any more, but has the explosion of TLDs achieved the goal of reducing .com cash runs?

It certainly seems like other TLDs have reached a level of acceptance, but my experience is not reflective of the majority of users.

Also, it's crazy to see TLDs with other languages. Very cool, and not surprising at all, but I've never seen that before.

Great news that this finally came to light.

Spending time on fun or interesting things is a good way to zero out your 'stressbox' and can be (I'd say should be) just as deliberate a daily habit as zeroing out your email inbox.
I don't think I'd really care. There are often times where I'm forced to watch VODs of these matches due to the difference in time zones.

I don't converse with anyone about the games. It's just me and my cats. I also greatly despise push notifications to my phone, with the exception of email.

But, I have a feeling I'm an edge case scenario.
I would like very much to grab my pitchfork and point it menacingly at Yelp, but I have yet to see one of these stories with hard evidence.

There are many, many stories of bad (and incriminating) behavior on behalf of Yelp salespeople over the phone, but I have never heard a recording. Even though most claims indicate that the harassing calls are repeated many times. Somebody record one of these calls and become Internet famous!

There are also many stories like this one that should come with before/after screenshots or links to an archived page. They need to actually link to the page in question so we can see if they are accurately depicting the situation. Shill reviews are easily spotted by people who have the necessary experience.

Like I said, I am ready to turn around on Yelp, these stories sound very plausible to me. I haven't yet seen sufficient evidence. The fact is that I do use that service and the subset of restaurants that I know very well have reviews that match my experience with the place. Therefore I can't help but think that perhaps the person who write the linked article is perhaps deserving of bad reviews and doesn't want to admit it.
Thanks for this feedback. Would images on the landing page be enough?

Definitely!
Encapsulation is not identity. Immutable objects are still perfectly encapsulated, but they don't have identity, which is what the OP was asking about.
NNNNOOOOOOO.
What jobs exactly are they talking about?
Uhhhh. I put my time in with a Linux desktop for nearly a decade until a job bought me a Mac and there's no way I'd go back. And I think my "hacker end of the spectrum" bona fides are pretty good--but those bona fides aren't incompatible with a preference for a pleasing UX that has been considered with users in mind, which for my money no open-source desktop environment has even approached (and I have my beefs with OS X but they're small fry compared to even just "why is there no terminal emulator on par with iTerm2 in 2017?"). Wanting to enjoy using the thing you spend much of your waking life in front of is a pretty reasonable ask, and the indicative give-a-damn of well-thought-out polished experiences is worth it to me to the point where I don't even bother to boot the way faster desktop with way more RAM that sits under my desk when I can just plug in my MacBook Pro and everything just works. (Also that the window system doesn't randomly lose heads, which still happens on my dual-boot desktop, in 2017, to the point where I don't even bother with it. I'll probably Hackintosh that next time I'm bored.)

Casting your own preferences as implicitly "hacker" and pulling out some "qualitative experience" (which among nerds is best read as "subjective preferences") stuff is pretty silly.

Funny how these spherical cow models of perfectly efficient and fungible markets end up justifying a huge and growing transfer of wealth from the productive part of the economy to pure (and literal) rent-seekers, which is perhaps the worst possible outcome for actual economic efficiency.
I wonder if disavowing links on Google could help. The problem for most businesses is Yelp listings rank very highly for their name.

HLS lets the compiler optimize your layouts for you more, since you're expressing your algorithm's goals at a much higher level (and have left more actual implementation details unspecified). I've implemented the same algorithm in both HLS and Verilog and with a few pragmas the HLS code, the result was infinitely more tweakable on the space/speed gradient - I was pretty much able to utilize the maximal space I could to achieve maximal execution speed - and limited to the same area I had used for the verilog implementation, it had almost identical performance.

It's also incredibly time saving in that with HLS you can actually rapidly unit test your designs (outside of a simulator), and you can usually get a codegen for bindings for the SoC you're designing for so you don't have to write any headers/interface code for the onboard processor yourself.

IMO, people who don't think HLS is a win either have years of experience invested in older toolchains and are more productive with them (and don't see HLS as worth their time), or haven't actually tried it.

I've mostly used a slightly hamstrung C++ as a HLS language with a Xilinx SoC. C++ is infinitely nicer than an HDL, but I can't help but feel that Rust's safety model more closely matches how an HLS wants to structure its invariants, so I feel like it could be an excellent HLS language in the future, given the chance.
Really wish Apple wouldn't use Yelp for place ratings to their Maps app.

You're cherry-picking. That is definitely one of Apple's design philosophies, and it has definitely worked very well for the iPhone and iPad. But not all their computers have followed that style. The Mac II launched in 1987(!) and was very influential. And as the earlier commenter mentioned, before the "trash can" redesign, the Mac Pro was easy to open and had plenty of ports.

Trying to apply that sealed appliance approach to every single product is sometimes a mistake, as demonstrated by the Mac Pro misstep.
Well, if this isn't a slippery slope...

I can just imagine the process when someone starts having the power to tell people they aren't disabled enough to get a placard.

We like to think these things will follow some common-sense logic, but in reality that's rarely the case.

There's some low-hanging fruit like revoking old placards, but I don't think this should get a whole lot of attention. Perhaps I'm just not part of the club that says we need police to make sure people aren't being assholes.
Drivers.

Apple likes the control over the hardware and software, and packages all of the drivers needed to run macOS on any blessed instance of Apple hardware currently supported (and maybe even ever created, since Intel). If you wanted, and I have done this before, you can clone a Mac made HDD and boot it from any other Mac you can get your hands on, and other than the hardware swap it's basically a reboot. If Apple let me build a tower and drop anything I wanted in to it, they can't guarantee that anymore, and even if it's just amongst developers, it hurts their brand experience.
The article wasn't very specific, I wonder what kind these so called new collar jobs are?
Generally speaking, the only forums I'm on that has mentioned the decline of ESPN have said nothing about politics or talking heads. I'm surprised they are such a huge talking point in this thread.

Instead, it's the huge decline of coverage and quality. These forums are devoted to a more niche form of sports (open wheel auto racing). In the 1980s and 1990s ESPN coverage of these sports was actually very extensive. No longer.

There was a time when one of ESPN's strengths was a huge coverage of a wide array of sports, including many niche sports. From my perspective, a lot of the niche (or even not so niche) sports has effectively moved off of the network for one reason or another. On the main channels, cheap programming where talking heads yell at each other have taken its place.

Factor in this, and then factor in the people who got ESPN even though they weren't sports people to begin with, and now add in the cord-cutting movement. It's easy to see why ESPN's in trouble.

It claims that things with IME are (which I'm not sure if Atom has), and lists a series of architectures of which Atom isn't part. (Its architectures have different names.)

It's not "skills". It's "skills at the cost we want". Market forces will generally bring people with skills when the pay rate is high enough. If skills are so important, why not have a company train a person for the job?

> It would also at times require engineers to take a stand and I suspect that that is what drives the willful ignorance.

It's easy to take a stand when you either have a lot of sway or you're a critical component. It's not so easy when you've got people to feed and there are 100 people in line to take your spot.

In an ideal world, engineers and developers alike could really reshape a lot of business practices. For example, developers could say no to creating dark patterns, and engineers could say no to building with substandard parts. Both could say no to unrealistic deadlines that force shoddy workmanship and ugly shortcuts. Too bad that if you won't do it, someone else will gladly do it in your place.

The only way to realistically do it is to put up with it, and then change the culture of the company once you've gotten high enough in the chain. That can take years, and there is no guaranteed payoff. Of course, the other method is to create a union, a coalition of developers, or even an external organization (the EFF, Wikileaks) to back up developers or apply pressure. Doing that is a monumental task in and of itself.

I am not disagreeing with you. In fact, I encourage this behavior. It's hard for a lot of people to do it in practice though.
Can you comment on the link in the OP? I thought at this point it's almost assumed yelp removes negative reviews from advertising customers and posts fake negative reviews when customers have cancelled. There's plenty of similar experiences just in these comments.
Even if once each year Apple picked a "blessed" list of commodity hardware (one motherboard, one graphics card, etc.) that was supported, it would still be a major improvement over the status quo. Apple could pick partly based on the MSRP of the hardware or charge a licensing fee to the winner.

I'm sympathetic to arguments that MBAs, particularly at elite institutions, mostly benefit the graduate and not the company that employs him. I read an interesting study recently that made this claim by comparing the stock-returns of companies led by Harvard MBAs vs the market as a whole. Sure, the study is no smoking gun, but it's on the right track.

In contrast, the entire book reads like a series of anecdotes. And given that Harvard-MBA recruits the best and most ambitious students who go on to occupy numerous positions of power, you can always find a harvard MBA scapegoat behind every business failure that ever occurs. I don't see how this proves anything about the quality of Harvard-MBAs, other than the fact that they aren't perfect supermen. One could use this exact same line of reasoning and "evidence" in order to claim that white men are the cause of all problems in America.
This IMO is the major problem with funding job training. You shift the market to subsidize companies who don't do on the job training at the cost of those who do. Give it a few decades and all these companies just want a handout.
You would be trying to reverse a couple millenia of mathematical tradition if you wanted to convince all mathematicians to only write machine-readable mathematics. As appealing as the idea may sound to computer people, mathematicians would find it quite repugnant if they were no longer "allowed" to write mathematics in a casual style (as if it were even possible to forbid them from doing so).

Maybe it's called that because your job skills will change so frequently, and your job security is so low that your collar is always "new."

How is age an appropriate excuse to my concerns? My concern is that he can't be transparent and open - meaning his thinking and behaviour will be molded by this.

If he wants to lead, becoming skillful at self-awareness/growth and relationship building is key.

Extending the attack surface in the name of alleged convenience seems more a plan to enable hacking than a reasonable design and marketing approach for microprocessors. IoT fanboys with an urge to make home appliances remotely exploitable might be in good faith, but Intel is smarter than them.
"Pay to publish" is something you don't see a lot of, outside of predatory journals. "Pay to read" does absolutely nothing to address this problem -- that money goes straight to the publisher and neither the reviewers nor the editor ever sees a dime. To reiterate, reviewers and editors are not paid in any way for their efforts.

On this, I think we can just agree to disagree. For one, TeX did not try and make an arbitrary distinction between style language and content language. So, it is both. Period. LaTeX did try and layer the style to a separate file, but still the same language.
