>This is what happens when your parents get divorced and you're raised by a shitty step mom

No, this happens when you accept that you are a victim and declare that you have zero control over your emotional shortcomings because of a past event. And it will continue to happen aslong as you reinforce this in yourself.
I sure hope not. That sounds sketchy.
The Browser Is a Bitch:  a cybersecurity short story
If only software thought leaders embraced this. It appears to be a facet of whatever mathematics underlies software, so it's not going away, and it cripples any hope of reliably estimating development time.

You can have Ansible generate the authorized_keys file from a list of public key files, then when that list changes ansible will detect that the file has changed and will copy over the new file.

Yeah, this idea that the Linux desktop experience isn't working out just doesn't make sense to me. I have Arch on almost all of my machines, including the one at work where I do most of my development, as well as several laptops. Across all of these computers, I've had one driver issue (integrated Broadcom NIC) and one case where an update broke an application, in the four years I've been using Arch. It's amazingly easy to use and completely gets out of my way. Furthermore, at work I'm developing a cross-platform GUI application using Qt, which is great to work with. We have developers using Windows, Linux, and OS X.

Now, for all that I like Qt, I've never gotten into KDE because I can't run it without it crashing all the time. And Gnome is a great UI for my pre-literate children, but it's not for me. But the fact that mainstream desktop environments are a bad fit for me doesn't mean I'm having a bad time running Linux on my desktop! My window manager does exactly the things I want it to, and not one thing more. Linux crashes for me less often than Windows, and unlike Windows I can almost always ssh in and put things in order before I reboot. (In the course of developing a GUI application, there are lots of ways to create system instability!) I can't imagine, as a developer, preferring a watered-down Linux running on the Windows kernel to the real thing. It's like saying that Wine is Windows. (Not that Wine is a bad project, just that it's not a great way to have the Windows desktop experience.)
I get what you're saying. I don't like part of the direction Microsoft is taking either. Yet, I don't agree with your perspective.

What's happening here is that Microsoft, after a number of years of troubles keeping up, are following the market. WSL is presumably not meant to compete with Linux or FOSS as a desktop OS, but with Mac OS and Linux as developer platforms.

Companies like Google and Apple figured out that if you just give people their pony e.g. base your things on FOSS, they won't notice when you centralize everything, track everyone and generally behave badly. In many ways Microsoft is doing better here. Their projects aim to be cross platform and are being developed together with the community. Instead of usual the code dump and silent mailing list we've become accustomed to from some companies.

Linux have had the chance to do better for awhile now (and in some ways it has). Microsoft have been critized constantly for Windows 8 and now Windows 10. Apple left a huge hole in the "professional" market for years, including after the new Mac Pro and the new MacBook Pro. If some developers move to Windows because of this I think that's fair.
The new Linkedin is probably one of the worst UI's I've seen.

I wonder what the long-term impacts of so many homeowners applying lawncare chemicals will have. It just seems like a bad idea to spray chemicals all over the lawn, yet so many do it it. I also wonder how many are over-applying, thus making matters worse. Any thoughts on how to change people's mindsets. It seems herd mentality has taken over, even though most likely know this is not healthy or environmentally friendly.

You're assuming that their implementation is general enough to be applied well to anything other than their target market. They may use an algorithm that's only suitable for differentiating a gunshot from other banging noises, for instance.

What are you talking about? There is no such distinction. The GPL derives its enforcability from the same principle EULA's do.

Agreed, I would like to see some legal precident that proves GP's point.

Additionally, GPL only grants you "additional freedoms" if you're willing to reciprocate. If you want to use it in a closed source work, it very much limits your freedoms. The phrase "permissive license" exist for a reason, and it explicitly excludes the GPL.

I think it's reasonable to object to the casting, especially for those who enjoyed the originals. People form an emotional attachment to stories.

What I find striking in this whole culture wars thing is how asymetrical it is: there's no principles, it's always white/western people being wrong (well, I suppose that's a principle too). Example: when fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower objected to casting a black actor for the white gunslinger, these same people who complain about white-washing called the objecting people racists and what not. They even went as far as stating that it was only in the fans' minds that the gunslinger was white, that he could equally well have been black, thereby betraying that they'd never even read the series.

Personally, I enjoyed Ghost in the Shell despite its flaws, and I'm pretty sure I'm also going to enjoy The Dark Tower, despite the fact that it's radically changing a central part of the plot of the books.

I think a lot of those end up being shared on social media. I'm guessing not many are watched later.
For some of the cells, like neurons, that to a first approximation don't divide in adulthood, this seems true. But for things like blood cells that are constantly getting turned over, it seems like there would be a lot more opportunities for bad mutations in a larger creature (although as your link suggests, there seems to be some fairly strong defense against this).
The simple fact is, you can never trust they're not doing it, no matter what it seems like or what they say. This kind of technology needs to be kept out of public places, open hardware, open source and self-hosted, without exception, otherwise it is creepy.
Your question says "utilize" machine learning. I was in the same position. It struck me that rather than go off and try to catch up with half a century's research, and contribute nothing, I'd be better off utilizing machine learning in my front-end work.

So I have started using IBM's Watson platform, and some of Google's AI tools. I was specifically interested in speech processing applications (I have some background in signal processing and audio, which helps a little), and I've found the Watson stuff particularly useful.

At the end of the day, if depends on your motivation. If you really want to become a true expert, stop reading this and start studying. Otherwise, I think there does exist a significant "gap in the market", as it were, to build useful front ends to these technologies, which currently exist as raw APIs.

In terms of career prospects, I have already met several Watson consultants, who do exactly that, and charge top dollar for it. The plain fact is, it doesn't take very much to be considered an AI "expert" in the current climate. And you're probably more likely to get there quickly by standing on the shoulders of giants than by dedicating your life to a PhD.
Why would you think Linux support would be something they would prioritize for a game that's not even finished yet?

That stuff comes at the end of the development, not the middle.

Not in the sense that parent post is alluding too. reprap printers use "vitamins" - the electronics, motors, hardware - in addition to the printed parts.

Being able to print a motor would remove the need to buy motors.
The Pixel 5" meets the requirements, but it's still out of stock and $750(!). Otherwise the iPhone (same price) is the only other stock-OS, decent spec, <= 5" phone I'm aware of.
If there was a way of tricking the app to think it is always online, the real status could be obfuscated. WhatsApp probably uses some Android and iOS API to know when it's open, tapping into that could confuse the app and make the online status pretty useless.

LineageOS (previously CyanogenMod) had a Privacy Blocker or something like that, which you could block specific apps access to major APIs like Media Access, Phone ID Access, etc. It's been a while since I last used that, don't know if it still exists, but it sure helped my paranoia. It was fun seeing apps trying to access all sorts of stuff on my phone just to see them being denied access.

Nice Death Grips reference btw.
They bank on screwing people over with financing. I didn't tell them how I'd be paying until we were signing paperwork already. He wasn't happy to hear a I will be writing a check. Then I refused to sign the arbitration agreement and he really got mad, but oh well I got the car anyway. However it wasn't a pleasant experience overall.

I don't mean to disparage the technology, but I disagree with that my examples are unrealistic. I think people would love large scale battles like that.
I don't think they "charge" your for it at the end of the lease.

Leases have a "residual value" which is what they expect the car to be worth at the end of the lease, assuming it was kept in good running condition.

They can charge you for excess mileage, extreme wear and tear, and faulty/lack of maintenance - but all of these have been true for a long time.

My parents have leased several cars and in each case they were over by a few thousand miles. They paid the 10 or 15 cents per mile penalty ($150-300) and washed their hands of the car when they were done. Then the leasing company sent a truck to pick it up.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me !
Integrating a 3rd party extension into your project and what to be aware of
In general the claim is that you have particular rights under common law when you purchase something, but the shrinkwrap terms attempt to restrict those rights.
Premise: You have legally obtained a copy of some software.

Status quo: You can use the software. You're not allowed to redistribute copies or modified versions of the software.

EULA: You may only use the software if you agree to additional terms. Usage rights are restricted.

GPL: You may redistribute copies as well as modified versions as long as distribution happens under the terms of the GPL. Distribution rights are granted.
I agree with you, but there is a flip side. More people might start asking themselves what the point of Windows is, since everything they need is available on Linux.

"Why bother paying the Windows tax? Everything I need runs on Linux natively."

> Without a licence, you have no right at all.

On what grounds do you have no right to use a copy of software you bought without obtaining an additional license from the vendor?

As for copying it's copyright, obviously, but I never understood what's the matter with merely using. IANAL but AFAIK in some EU countries it is recognized that there is no legal basis for EULAs and they officially are void, unless signed as a contract prior to the purchase, of course.
The Concorde wasn't a case of us not being able to build it, though. It was a case of it just not being worth it to operate. Concorde technology was generally fine (27 years in operation). But supersonic transport is a niche even for wealthy people.
WW3 GERMANY TO LEGALISE RAPE OF WHITE WOMEN,WHILE UK ADMINISTER INSTANT CA
I live in a neighborhood with a ton of gunshots. I've called the police about gunshots maybe three times, but I probably hear gunshots multiple times a week. One of those times I was the first person to call in a murder, the other two didn't even generate a shooting report that I could tell.

I've been following ShotSpotter, and I'm not surprised by the problem they have been having with false positives. For one thing, gunshots don't sound like cannons in real life, there are so many things that sound like them, especially in an economically deprived neighborhood. Backfiring cars, fireworks, people driving over plastic bottles, lumber being dropped, etc.

One of the reasons I don't call in shots is because it's almost impossible to figure out where a gunshot actually came from. The grid system in Chicago combined with the ubiquity of 3 story brick and stone houses means that sound bounces all over the place. Even sounds that are generally easy to place, such as trains and sirens, often sound like they are coming from a completely different direction .

The other reason I don't bother calling in shots is because I feel like any police officer close enough to respond in a timely manner is likely close enough that they probably heard the shots themselves. By the time I call 911, give them my questionable guess to location, and the police actually arrive there, chances are the shooter is long gone. Even the 911 operators seem uninterested in my calls unless I can give them extremely detailed information about what just happened.

If ShotSpotter is as accurate as the paper indicates, then I think it could be an extremely powerful tool if the information can be given to officers in a timely manner. That being said, from what I've read ShotSpotter is already considered a bit of a success in Chicago, so I think the technology has a solid market.

Given the fact that they have a solid market, I can't help but feel their problem is on the management side of things. Honestly, ShotSpotter seems like one of those companies that should have 25-50 employees, and could be reasonably profitable at that level. Looking at their SEC filing, it seems like they spend way too much on Admin and Marketing, given the fact that 1) their market seems reasonably straightforward from a sales perspective and 2) their technology seems to speak for itself.

That being said, I have no idea how much trade shows and such cost, but overall I feel like there is no reason they shouldn't be profitable after 20 years of existence given the fact that they appear to have basically the only viable product in the market.
The First Sale doctrine gives people who _buy_ something all rights needed to make use of it.

It is... disappointing that modern courts have allowed the First Sale doctrine to be watered down so that today there's every chance you will buy something, paying good money, and then be confronted with new "terms" for how you may use the thing you purchased. But it's not in general clear that such an approach is legal.

But you have a choice in most of these sorts of things.

For example, you can decide that by simply being human, one deserves to be treated well as a standard, taking that away when someone earns the right to be treated lesser.

You can decide that you earn someone's affection simply by being yourself around the person. That's more work than folks let onto.

You can decide that sure, the past was shitty - but you've worked and persevered nonetheless and earned the things you have. You can choose to see that while those folks were shitty, others around you haven't been. You can choose to not be a victim to the past. People do it all the time.

You can choose to be a bit easier on yourself. This isn't easy and takes a bit of detachment and reminding yourself that you tend to be hard on yourself so that you can set more obtainable goals.

You can choose to get therapy to help you with these things. You've already the self-awareness of much of this, which puts you steps ahead of others.

$58.8 Billion in Venture Capital Invested Across U.S. in 2015 [0]

AAA refers to production quality of a game. The quality of what we're seeing is already AAA.
The downside being they need powerful rare earth permanent magnets to work, making their construction more expensive than induction or brushed universal motors.
Agreed. The only way to save this app is a mercy kill: sunset iTunes, and separate it into different parts. But I suspect Apple has a business reason to keep the monolith: iPhone syncing and iTunes store are bundled together.
I mean... no shit? You have a fairly complex install for a service that I don't think most police stations even want.

They have a hard enough time responding to the existing real-life humans who call them. I've reported gunshots in my neighborhood and waited more than 30 minutes for a response (we also have shotspotter).
> both major projects (Gnome and KDE) are increasingly depending on Linux-specific technologies

Yeah, turns out POSIX is no longer enough. I am all for operating systems using the best technology stack they've got. Nor Windows, macOS or BSDs get hate for doing the same, so why should Linux not be able to fully embrace its own solutions to make itself more competitive?

People always complain about this and that not being on par with Windows or macOS - well, in order to get there, you'll have to take full advantage of whatever APIs you can, even forgoing POSIX in some instances.

You can get the best experience using the most up-to-date APIs available on your platform or the most compatible, lowest common denominator experience, but you can't get both.

> Basically, except for Bluetooth and proprietary graphics driver, there's nothing that "almost works"

True that, it tends to "just work", on reasonably standard hardware, like the latest Dell XPS 15, practically everything 'just works', even on a 2015 retina MacBook Pro, my experience has been near flawless.
What if the EULA applies to a software product you have bought for money and have received a copy of?

If it does not include an EULA, are you not allowed to use it? Does the same hold for computer games with an EULA?

Or does the existence of an an EULA hold your rights hostage until you agree to it?
It depends on your definition of "underreported"

When you consider how often reporting gunshots or (pretty much anything) to your local PD does any good to any stakeholder I would say they're wildly over-reported.
Gentle hint for writing a product, service or project announcement/post
If you write a great blog post about your service going live, or your project reaching v1.0 or your product hitting the market, please do this:

Start your posting with a paragraph describing what it actually is that you are announcing. With a link to the actual product or project page.

Do not assume that your readers have been following you on your journey the past months or longer. Assume that people have never heard of you before.

Personally I close a page pretty quickly after reading too many paragraphs about how fantastic the product is after all the user feedback from the past months and all the hard work that you put in, WITHOUT TELLING ME WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS THAT YOU ARE RELEASING.

Apologies for yelling, but this is such a common mistake. You as a developer live and breath your project every single day. Someone reading your post is probably seeing it for the very first time.

Write for your future audience. You are losing readers and an opportunity to attract people to your product.
When you're a large company, with literally 100s of 500K+ LOC apps around, you don't get to just rewrite them. That's the reality of a lot of enterprise shops and completely changes the perspective when looking at a codebase with various vintage technologies.

I think you're "right directionally" (i.e. solve for global optima, not local ones), but you must absolutely consider timing. It's fairly easy to dismiss ideas because they're not going to be the "end game" for humanity, but overlook many viable business opportunities that will be temporary on our way there, but still very profitable.
