> Are you arguing that the program is bad, or more of a no-op?

Really both. The thing is that out of 100 pop wolves, a few packs together can cover very large areas, so even in a wilderness it may sound like 100 isn't much, it's not as small as it seems. They did have major issues with the program in general, but the issues I am mostly talking about are independent of the population issues, and are more relevant to the humans living in the area.

Essentially, it would be like having a reintroduction program for mountain lions in your area, and putting say, 50 more mountain lions there. It sounds like you understand what that means.
By the way if you want to know what it was like at (almost) the very last moments of sail freight I very highly recommend "The Last Great Grain Race" in which Eric Newby writes of his experience working aboard a wind powered grain freighter from Europe to Australia in 1939. Sail shipping was suspended during the war and finally ended for good in 1949.

(In typical Newby style he had zero sailing experience when he signed on, though he was an excellent writer).
Yes, there sure are (not Destiny 2 though ;) ).

Actually Worlds Adrift (https://www.worldsadrift.com/) is already in Beta and Lazarus (http://www.playlazarus.com/) is in open-development and you can start playing right now.

I'm guessing it's both a performance issue and a "let's not support too many different ARM chips from the beginning" issue.

Snapdragon 835 will probably be the minimum level of ARM performance Microsoft will accept. We may start seeing Samsung's Exynos and a high-end MediaTek processor being supported in a year or two.

Yes, but general public doesn't know this and Netflix is not going around advertising this with high priority. Getting/Cancelling the subscription on a per movie basis is not the intended use of Netflix anyway, so it's gaming the system and netflix allows it.

Regulatory capture would usually refer to an industry gaining control of the body that is nominally supposed to regulate it, like if the FCC was captured by broadcasters or the SEC was captured by banks.

Movie production isn't what I would think of as a regulated industry; this seems more like regular lobbying.

AutoHotKey?

In some respects I think the apparent lack of automation in GUI comes down to the methods by which it's accomplished feeling too crude to take seriously. Even ordinary "power user" apps like Excel are so in-depth already and support so many workflows that it's hard to figure out the efficient path for what you want to do.
Microsoft also has this project, and UWP apps should work on ARM as well:

Luckily Australia is almost exclusively powered by excuses and whataboutery, not many people know that.

My comment added some context about one of the main protagonists of the story, I'm comfortable it's cromulent. If not, please, take my internet points.
Fair point here, but in reality it changes none of my other arguments. If anything, replacing the linux kernel with the windows kernel and then giving the user half the userspace programs is still bad in my book.
Wow, that's short sighted.

Force streaming services to release in French theaters, force customers to pay someone else to watch the movie, and subject the streaming services to draconian french regulations on when they can stream that movie.

So as Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming services take off, cannes will become less and less relevant as more and more movies are funded and produced by streaming services until cannes is that old french indy festival that was replaced with a more modern and movie viewer friendly festival.

Ah, DEC Alpha! I had one that ran NT 4.0 and pre-release copies of Windows 2000 (amongst other things) and the day Microsoft decided not to release Windows 2000 for it was one of the saddest of my life (until then).
I doubt Microsoft would be going the phablet direction, even if Windows on ARM now supports "desktop apps". There's still the issue of having a horrendous desktop UI on a phone. Heck, it still pisses me off that legacy Windows apps don't even properly support 1080p screens. It should be way worse to squeeze them in a small screen as well.
My very old contribution to this debate is a term I am hoping to bring to the mainstream - topless computing.

Surely this rule must be that streaming services can't show the movie in france until 36 months after, no? If not, very few hollywood movies would have been shown in france (because almost all of them are on netflix or amazon prime within 36 months)

Yup. Whole industry is wrong. No need for better tooling. Web development is easy /s

Making things more complicated by cargo cutting patterns isn't unique to the front end (looking at you, AbstractFactoryBuilderInjector dot Java). It is however different from using those patterns to reduce complexity or otherwise aide in the development of big systems.
Not really. This is more about allowing ARM to enter the PC market. ARM couldn't break into the PC market without Microsoft's help and by being fully supported by Windows. The only other alternative were Chromebooks, and even Google didn't bother to make a big push for ARM in Chromebooks.
And now the budget is still blowing out, only we have shitty infrastructure that's going to be obsolete almost as soon as it's installed.

The Liberals messed this one up (note to Americans, in Australia the 'Liberals' are the conservatives).

We use Yubikeys as GPG smartcards, and use them for gpg-agent as ssh keys.

Everyone puts their hsm keys on their github account (and removes all others).

We fetch the keys for each user from github on system init. e.g.

When we need to add/remove people, we just update the list of usernames in the script that fetches keys, and then kill off instances one at a time to force a redeploy.

I just moved back to an iPhone after a year of 6P ownership on Fi and I gotta say I don't think the camera is nearly as good. My two qualms were low light performance and the time-to-shoot after tapping the shutter button. My 6P would take annoyingly long (presumably to focus/adjust?) before taking the first shot, but the iPhone is ready immediately. Overall I quite enjoyed 6P ownership but missed the ecosystem/handoff I had before.

This is not so unreasonable a question, but the answer is simple: because it's ubiquitous, fairly standardised, and well supported.

Also, other languages suck at doing small things quickly and simply. Try rewriting a shell script in go with little experience and see how long it takes.
I would prefer to not manage them at all. Let my cloud provider care about SSL (AWS already provides it).

I don't even want anyone (including me) to have access to our SSL certificates. There's no lock-in, I can always change my mind and buy new SSL certs somewhere else.

I think your second point is much more on. Think about MTV movie awards. I don't think it existed 20 years ago (just checked and it started 24 years ago but I never heard about it that long ago) and came about because of the unhappiness with the academy awards.

If all the award ceremonies start excluding streaming movies and the same quality movies are being released I can assure you we will see a Netflix Movie Awards or Streaming Movies Awards come to fruition.

It just strikes me as, well, self-defeating to have an international celebration of film confined to your nation's take on it and promoting your local businesses while ignoring major contributors to the medium.

It seems strange to say, "Well, a film must be in a cinema" when that's not how most people watch them. (At least not the vast majority of films they watch in any of the countries I've been in.)

It's not that they banned all soulless corporations producing faux art, they just banned a change in watching habits to prop up an industry with poor value proposition.

Film as a medium is a valuable part of culture; theatres aren't necessarily.

Theatres must offer something over sitting on the couch -- and in the US they have, introducing things like bars and food services.
Most often, program != code.

And regardless of the intention, code are read many, many more times than it is written, especially when you work in a company with multiple teams and that is spread out on multiple sites. And in my experience, badly written code causes bugs because the original intention is not clear.

the more closely you look, the more obvious it becomes that this is the rule rather than the exception. I would be somewhat surprised if children have functional mutations rampant between neurons, and I suspect that some fraction of this is artifactual. But I have no doubt (does anyone?) that some degree of somatic mosaicism is the rule. About the only cells that tend to hang around much longer than neurons are blood stem cells, and as soon as you look closely at those, it's all but unavoidable.
IANAL, so this is my education opinion only:

Are you offering on 'myexcellence.com' a similar service to what's already offered on 'excellence.com' ? If so, then yeah, I'd avoid the name-clash as they can legally apply to take ownership of the domain name.

If your service is in a completely different market sector, then you should be OK, as there's 1,000s of examples of similar sounding domains but providing very different services.

If you posed the question "Who in the world would be the worst possible person to decide on how to construct a nationwide high speed computer network?", the you might come up with a list that included Tony Abbott.

I genuinely believe that Tony Abbott really didn't even understand what purpose the Internet serves, apart from email and playing games - he saw it as some sort of frivolous discretionary spend - definitely not anywhere near as important as roads and mines and coal.

It's an absolute tragedy for the nation that the original plan was changed by such ignorant luddites as Tony Abbott.

They made such an incredibly huge fuss about the cost, but only a month or two back they handed a $23 billion corporate tax cut over to companies and it barely made the newspaper.

I can tell you in no uncertain terms that I have not an atom of respect for any of our politicians.

Off topic, to me all part of the same story is my absolute quivering rage that we are literally giving away our natural resources for nothing or close to nothing whilst every litre of natural gas that can be sucked out of the ground is shipped to other countries.

Meanwhile the politicians ride around in helicopters, leech the taxpayer blind with their kingly entitlements and are genuinely surprised when there is outrage about it.

Seriously it is time for a citizens revolution. We need to take the country back from these idiots.

Three Less Known Trading Indicators Every Trader Should Know
Not so sure it's cheaper in France. There are many ways to go to the movies for much less than that. There is some kind of subscription that's very popular in Paris that lets you go to any movie in about half of the theaters (including independents) for a monthly fee, and a few times a year there are weekends when the movies are 2-3 euros a pop.

Thus said watching a movie on a laptop screen in your apartment is hardly the same as going to a proper cinema.
A movie playing in a theater promotes about as much local business and culture as snake oil promotes health.

Leasing is an absolutely horrible deal nowadays.

Almost every lease includes something along the lines of "we expect this car to be worth $X at the end of lease term, and, if it's not, we charge you for it".

At that point, why lease? The leasing payments are a significant chunk of the loan payments anyway.

You're better off just buying a used car.

I get that there've been cost problems and implementation issues with bringing EMALS into full readiness, but that's not a reason to kill electromagnetic aircraft launch altogether. Electromagnetic aircraft launch has significant legitimate technical advantages over steam: not needing high pressure steam piping, being able to precisely meter the acceleration profile (to reduce stress on airframes), not having "cold cat" issues, and being able to deploy it (or downsized versions of it) on vessels that do not have ample steam / desalinated water supplies.

Subcontracting out components of a complex system makes sense after it's has been properly designed and tested in the field and all the hard-learned lessons have been internalised. Applying this methodology to creating the first instance of a system that has never been fielded before is not likely to work so well. Expecting the semi-incestuous menagerie of {General Atomics, Alion Science and Technology, Kato Engineering, L3, QinetiQ, STV, Inc., Curtiss-Wright, ESCO, ITT} to create a deployment-ready EMALS with no fielded precedents was a huge mistake. Taking a complex, never-built-before weapons system and putting it in production while it's still in testing is folly, having its development overseen by a literal clusterfuck of subcontractors doubly so.
Indeed, Cannes' policy will only serve to degrade its relevance.
I don't think dice are a good comparison, as each roll is a new "state", knowing nothing about the previous. Vs. evolution which has kind of a feedback loop which influences future output.
Absolutely not. This is not about small movie clubs struggling against the giant american megacorp; it's movie theaters being angry that Netflix doesn't bring them any money (and the extremely obscure movie sector, that has already been scolded for having shady flows of money such that no one understands what's going on). One party creates and finances movies, the other distributes them. One party is present globally, and as such is relevant to the culture, the other just decided to reduce screening time of european and independent creations to one week only, against previous arrangements. Who participates more to the movie culture?

Another point, streaming-only movies have already been shown in the past but they weren't a problem because they didn't threaten the big movie associations. Netflix completely bypasses them and that suddenly becomes a problem.
FTTP or FTTN aside, aiming for 93% coverage in a country as sparsely populated as AU was a terrible idea to start with.

I understand the need to support rural areas but the the majority of the initial budget was to cover non-metropolitan areas and while the govt has been messing this up, private industry (TPG, First Path etc) managed to cover huge swaths of the population with little-to-no government assistance.
This is the place to comment on the article about how political incompetency hobbled Australia's broadband, right?

> So Linux users should get the shaft because they're the minority?

Linux users should get the best possible experience on the system, so should the windows users. If a better emulator is available on windows why should they get shafted? Linux tools even have the advantage that they may not need full emulation in the first place, but instead we end up with the worst of both worlds.

In my experience nothing about android development works very well on any platform. I'm not a huge fan of MS, but windows phone development and tools are an absolute dream in comparison.

To protect theaters.

There is this thing in France called "l'exception culturelle" which means not that culture is exceptional, but that cultural products (books and movies essentially) should be exempt from normal (international) competition rules that apply to all other sectors of the economy.

The rationale is that cultural products are "special" and that if they're not protected, they'll vanish and be replaced by American ones that are inferior by nature.

In general terms, the bad consequences of protectionism are twofold:

1. It raises prices for the customer by limiting competition

2. It limits exports, as international partners try to do to your products what you do to theirs (keeping them out of their market)

French cultural products are notoriously difficult to export, for a variety of reasons, one of which being language and another being they're generally of poor quality (I say this as a Frenchman), so problem 2 isn't seen as major (you can't harm exports that you don't have).

And problem 1 isn't big either because everyone benefits from high prices which allow high taxes that further finance the cinema, and no one cares about the end user.

Personally I think this is a bad system that is in large part responsible for the poor quality mentioned above.

That said, rules should apply to all. Just because those rules are bad doesn't mean Netflix or Amazon should be exempt from them. We should change the rules -- but that's, like, hard.
