> intentionally misleading

I think what's wrong with this conversation is that you think you can correctly attribute malice to the opinions of complete strangers simply because you don't agree with them.

This will get you into trouble more often than not.

Did you notice how I didn't accuse you of intentionally adding nothing to the conversation or intentionally being obtuse?

That's because I don't know you at all and therefore I don't claim to know anything about your intentions. As a matter of fact, even after this very ridiculous conversation, and although I haven't the slightest clue of what your actual intentions are, I still give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your intentions are noble, (albeit clearly based on incorrect assumptions).

That's the difference between you and I.
Unfortunately, how do you think they got there? Stifling dissent.
is JDEE based on CEDET ? CEDET is a proper abstraction for this but IIRC it's hard to use and a bit too slow.
I think the name Visual Studio for Mac is another bad decision like all the rest. They say it's using a lot of code from Visual Studio, but to me that seems like an implementation detail and I don't care. In fact, if it feels like Visual Studio, then they've failed. It should feel like a Mac application.

My first choice would have been to stick with Xamarin Studio. On the other hand, this sounds like a significantly new product, and so if it deserves a new name I would have seized the opportunity to launch something new that's going to get developers attention. Visual Studio for Mac does the opposite. It makes me feel like I know what it is and I'm not that intrigued.

I also would have called Visual Studio Code something else. It's almost like they don't want attention from developers.

Generally, people are not very good at determining if thoughtful design is worth the effort.

Yes, waterfall was a mistake, but design-nothing is mistaken too. Thinking before doing helps avoid waste & rework.
How does this compare to highcharts? Both use a JSON configuration to generate charts.

This seems to have been since fixed. GIMP's "Export as PNG" dialog has for some time had an option "Save color values from transparent pixels".
Especially the part where they lose their preferential price for Windows if they sell any systems with Linux installed? Yeah. (I don't think those terms are any longer in force, but there was a time...)
Emacs features vary wildly in support from language to language - in Go, for instance, it's very easy to get both those working, while in Java it requires something more complicated such as eclim. company-mode is by far the best completion frontend, but the quality of the completions is dependent on how good the backend is, which varies a lot.
Is that a Java-specific thing? My experience with C++ is that ever since libclang became widely used, autocompletion works really well—but that's because libclang is so good. Is there an analog of libclang for Java?
You're mostly right. The industry-wide accepted answer is to multiply the opacity into the colors before interpolating, so the formula would be (R1xT1 + R2xT2)/2 for the average, and then to do later transparency blending as if the opacity term was already multiplied in.
The point I was trying to make, that it will not help much. Most packages you are going to build do not support it yet.
It can only play Crysis on 50% texture.
Meh, this is just pr, nothing is safe-by-default. It's not actually true that people eventually assume strong consistency, because eventual consistency forces certain stricter way of thinking about the state and time, kind of functional, you just can't escape it. It's strong consistency that lets you get sloppy, while making you forget how not simple it is. It only exists inside the system and if you have clients from the outside of the system, like web browsers, you don't have two phase commit protocol on a button click there, so you have to resort to that same functional way of thinking to at least try not to confuse anyone on retry, but it's clearly not the case in the wild. It's just too complex.

I don't think anyone goes back from eventual consistency. It's more appropriate for this asynchronous world, easier and more reliable.
Why would anyone play this game when he could just diagonalize (nxm)x(nxm) matrix in F2 and get a basis? (in case of non-singular, otherwise impossible)
upd: misunderstood the game, it's about solving Ax=b in F2, so Gauss elimination.

Also the problem can occur with any image format; what matters is how it's stored in the texture not on disc.
My local grocery chain has scales in the produce area (and bulk foods area) that weigh and print a sticker with a barcode. If you use those, you can take fruits and vegetables through the self-checkout. The checker at the regular checkout can also scan them.
Emacs itself isn't sexy; the sole reason I use emacs is the power and extensibility offered by emacs lisp. If vim used elisp instead of shudders vimscript, I would use it in a heartbeat.
I can take you to stores where the self-checkout is as good or better in the US as you describe. How many different corporate entities and how many different communities did you visit in the US?

It indeed benefits them in a lot of ways otherwise it would not be open source (with an IP part).
Are you referring to the `--prefix` option that `configure` takes in the traditional unix `configure && make install` process?

(EDIT: I didn't mean to sound like I was correcting you. In fact I'm sure you know this stuff better than me. I now see that there's both a commonly-honored environment variable "PREFIX" and the command-line option to configure I mentioned, and I'm going to claim that the fact that there's two degrees of freedom and I'd forgotten about one of them kind of backs up my points!)

If so, while I agree that that serves the purpose and avoids use of `sudo`, I would think that the following two drawbacks are severe:

1. It's a lot (really, too much?) to ask of the community of laptop users who wish to use command line utilities -- we don't want to make using the command line the province of real unix experts only; everyone is a beginner at some point after all.

2. Not all software will offer this option.

Long-time resident of Chicago here. What do you suggest as a good plan to move out to another city to seek a greater diversity? How to filter out companies in other cities that cannot pay relocation?

The problem I see with Chicago is that there are no unicorns/tech co's that make many people outside of the area say "I really want to move to Chicago to work there!" Doesn't have the same pull as the west coast hubs.

While Apple has a larger total cash horde ~(216 billion) only 7% of that is in the US or 15B, Google has a larger US cash horde @$73B * 31% = 22.6B making it the largest accessible cash horde in the US.

PS: The ~$1.68 trillion in cash held by U.S. companies at the end of 2015 is kind of misleading as financial companies are required to hold cash on hand and thus can't use it for R&D or they are keeping money out of the US while waiting for a Tax holiday under Trump or possibly some other administration.

Visual Studio for Mac's shell code is written in gtk+ 2. We have supporting code in gtk+ to allow mixing gtk widgets with native widgets.

But the glue code isn't used here, because there is another interesting mechanism at play. The root window created by gtk on macOS is actually an NSWindow (see GdkQuartzWindow), thus you can use Cocoa APIs on the window. We just set the title visibility to hidden and set the native titlebar widget.
While Safeway/ Randolph's/ Ralph's was trying (and failing) to compete with WholeFoods, they lost their way and got bought out by what is now Albertson's. Meanwhile, Kroger was kicking ass and competing on price/quality/ variety. Try not shopping at Safeway, even WalMart is better.

8 Games at 64K? (61920x25920) – Nvidia Ansel
The article already does recommend using premultiplied alpha. Thank you for the background source though!
> That regulator is essentially unobtainable for the last couple years. Ironically if you're willing to do some ugly rewiring, there are brand new manufacture TO-220 package linear regulators that brand new shipped from the mfgr are cheaper than the ebay fake TO-3 regulators, but the rewiring and hole re-drilling is going to be ugly...

If you took the TO-220 package, carefully removed the extra tab of the heatsink, then took one of the fake TO-3 regs and "decapped" the can, removed whatever was inside, then glued the TO-220 using thermal heatsink glue to the case and deadbug wired the TO-220 in place and remounted the cap...

...well, I'm not sure how well that could work, but it's a thought!
I suppose this is the money quote:

> Please note that I’m not saying that interfaces are always bad. When they add value, they are useful. I’m only saying that interfaces that mirror one and only one class implementation is waste.

That's not really controversial or interesting.

"Don't write interfaces that have only one implementation" is something I've heard many times. The only well-accepted exception to that rule is interfaces that are expected to be implemented by, say, users of a library you are writing.
When you erase, it has a soft edge, right? And in the edge, you see the colour that was there before is still there, just more transparent. Well similarly, in the area that is fully erased, it is fully transparent.
Snap Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Results
This is good advice in general, but not always practical.

I'm writing an Android app using Kotlin (where everything is final by default).

I use mocking extensively when I test, and I had to choose between making an interface for [almost] everything, or explicitly opening everything. I went for the former.

I know mockito has tools now to deal with final classes, but the last time I tried it, it wasn't working so well (at all) for Android.
Elisp (or even better, Guile) are definitely huge reasons to use emacs for me, but there are many, many other things I use it for instead of vim (which I also know, and have used for over 20 years).

org-mode and w3m (a web browser that can be integrated in to emacs) are my two biggest draws, but eventually I mean to get the mail client working, give the shell modes another try, and maybe get the irc and RSS clients going too. The sky's the limit with emacs, while vim does more closely stick to being just an editor.

All that said, I still use vim when I need it, such as for getting syntax highlighting of strace files, which last time I checked, emacs did not have a mode for. vim is also often much faster on large files.

The Porter and Duff compositing paper is good, too.

One clarification, though: With premultiplied colors, something like (1,1,1,0) is either illegal or a light source. It's not a valid normal color.

This is probably quite accurate. I doubt more than 20% of the population even KNOWS that their router has a "configuration screen", much less how to access it.

Google has enough failed projects in their portfolio to prove this argument wrong. If they could make a product successful just by abusing their network effect, they'd be able to get Google+ or Hangouts off the ground. Also, Google Spaces, Android TV, Android Auto, Duo, Allo...

Google Photos has crushed all the other startups in the space because it's so good, not because it's been forced on everybody by a monopoly. Their other apps that aren't good enough to take over a market don't take over a market.
Even if you have a Gigabit connection, that's a bit overkill. You could handle a gigabit class connection on a product from Mikrotik or Ubiquiti for half the price or less. Both are rock solid and get regular software updates. The co-founder and former project leader of pfSense works at Ubiquiti now.

If you want to run IDS/IPS, though, youll need something a bit beefier like that linked box.
I agree that peer review should not be used to detect fraud. I would even say there is no reason to have any method devoted to detecting fraud. Instead just use independent replication to filter out fraudulent, sloppy, and unreliable results.

Yes, what GP said is true, at least since the 80s. Before that, too powerful monopolies were considered bad for society; that's why Standard Oil was broken up. However, understanding of US antitrust law underwent a shift in the 80s - now a monopoly has to actively hurt the end consumer for it to be prosecuted under the Sherman antitrust act.

Well how do we define a necessity? Running water, electricity and telephone service were all a luxury at some point. But now people have come to rely on them, to the point where it would be socially devastating to stop providing these services. Using an Internet search engine is no longer a luxury either. At the very least, Google should have a more transparent and accountable process, since a lot of people and companies have come to depend on its search engine functioning properly.

Iris Graphics Geometry Engines weren't programmable in the modern sense. There was a fixed pipeline of Matrix units, clippers and so on that fed the fixed function Raster Engines. You could change various state that went into the various stages, but the pipeline's operations were fixed.

Later SGI Geometry Engines used custom, very specialized DSP-like processors, but the microcode for those were written by SGI, and not end-user programmable.

There were probably research systems before it, but AFAIK the Geforce 3 was the first (highly limited) programmable geometry processor that was generally commercially available.

As a CTO I see it as part of my job to find the right tool for the right job.

Part of that was when I told the team I wanted our splash page and everything on it to be just static HTML files that would be hand edited if and when it was needed. There was no need for fancy CMS tools for a landing page that gets updated maybe once a quarter.

So, that's part of why you need a CTO - to know when to use static HTML!

Thank you sir.
I agree that RagtimeBot is the best, and its dataset is indeed simpler in the sense that the rhythms and note structures are very similar among all data points. I.e. The left hand usually plays low bass note on beats 1 and 3, and higher chord on beats 2 and 4. The right hand is usually monophonic, with a syncopated rhythm.

The Beethoven dataset had the largest "note vocabulary" and thus had a harder time generating nice sounding music.
