It's one thing switching internally, but if you need to deal with customers/suppliers/authorities etc who send or receive Excel format spreadsheets, it's kind of hard to switch. Paying a few hundred dollars a year, for a business, is a small price to pay to have things work relatively seamlessly (compared to alternatives such as LibreOffice).

Also I think you are underestimating what people use Excel for. I've seen companies uses macros, tens of tabs, and basically build the software that runs their business in Excel. It's not just a simple spreadsheet.
But he starts by saying that people are using git "wrong" (or suboptimally). If git fits my needs why should I worry about how this dude or Linus or the prime emporer of gitland thinks it should be used?

I think the author has a great point about the differences between how git was "designed" to be used as compared to how it ends up being used in orgs most often. But I also balk at being told I'm using an open source tool incorrectly as a general rule.

disclaimer - I really want prime emporer of gitland to be a proper honorific.
Full-Stack Web Development - the Complete Roadmap
Many reasons.

While I can tell that something is a pain to use, I'm not a designer, and I don't know how to fix it. Kind of when your car makes a noise or breaks down and you're not a mechanic.

I can't technically because I don't program for the desktop, and I don't have the time nor energy, and prefer/have to pay people to do it for me.

I have to tell you, I love how whenever someone criticizes Linux there's a comment saying "it's open source, fix it yourself". I think this is exactly the problem and attitude that plagues most Linux distros.

Criticizing is helping.
If they work at the same company, yes. It’s often (always) easier to use the central repo than to figure out connectivity or send patch files.

But if they’re in different companies, and there is no central repo visible/accessible for both devs, then yes the D in DVCS is definitely appreciated.

3 hours of flight time is more than adequate for training purposes.

Learning to deal with the intricacies of an ICE across the full range of flight conditions is half your training time wasted, and the myriad of things that can go wrong simply wont exist anymore.

His stance against Code of Conduct, as evident by this Tweet: https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 and follow up comments were considered inappropriate by some.

It would be interesting to know more about how this affects the design of current and future LED's.
It's a nice idea, for sure. I'm not sure I'd use it much since other considerations apart from weather also exist.

A few things I've noticed:

• The search could use some awareness about other names of locations. For example, München cannot be found, Munich can. Tübingen doesn't seem to exist at all (maybe too small).

• For people outside the US (yes, they exist) it'd also be nice to have a site-wide switch to metric. This then won't require you to have two charts of everything either (except snow coverage which doesn't seem to exist in metric).

• The legends for the charts look a lot like buttons, which can be a bit confusing at first. Maybe it's better to integrate the legend into the charts, e.g. maybe like http://hypftier.de/temp/2017-08-23_090140.png – would also save a bit of space; whitespace currently looks a bit haphazardly applied in general.

• The animation of the charts seems a bit pointless, considering that they're all below the fold anyway.
Sounds like BS.

Point 1: many migrants are not "refugees". Period.

Point 2: ok, so German children will take a long time before they start contributing -- agree. What about some untrained analphabet with a different culture, who also happens to reject working with women?

Exactly. The short list for my family was: me, my wife, my mother, father, sister, and mother-in-law. 6 users under one plan, also using each other's computers as targets, because the connection speed at my parents' is atrocious. So now, instead of 6$ total, which I could just sweep under a rug and call it a day, I'd have to pay 10x that - or bother getting money from them, because none of them want to bother managing their own backups. Hell, my parent's couldn't even been bothered to stick an USB HDD every once in a while.

This seriously sucks, especially that I now have to find a new solution, deploy it remotely on multiple PCs, and they'll all have to suck it up for another couple of weeks if not months when everything reuploads to the new solution.

As for me - even if I migrate to new solution, I'd still effectively loose the versioning. This is a serious bummer!
This wouldn't really buy you much, because after N branches you'd be pursuing 2^N possible execution paths, each of which requires its own resources throughout the CPU, to fetch, decode, rename, schedule, execute, and retire the instructions. Going any deeper than a few branches would be impractical, and you'd be spending most of your resources on computation that doesn't affect the final result. It also doesn't work for indirect branches, unless your predictor can produce a ranked list of possibilities, and you only execute the top few.
A lot of this likely has to do with the fact that the underlying components of v8 are written in C++.
Of course the intent of these laws are to protect Medicare, but you didn't articulate how Medicare was harmed in my real life example.

Whether or not the Pharmacy put extra gifts in with the Rx delivery Medicare was not effected. Moreover, the gift has no bearing on Medicare, patients, physicians or reimbursements.

To highlight the distinction, say a Dr. prescribed a drug to be filled at the pharmacy, and the patient never actually got it filled, but the pharmacy filed the claim for the Rx with Medicare anyway to get paid for the drug as if the patient had gotten it filled, the harm to the Government is obvious, they just paid a claim for a drug that was never actually dispensed. In fact, when that actually happens, the pharmacy usually double dips, and rips the label off the unfilled drug, sells it to another patient and still gets paid on the claim as if the original Medicare patient picked it up. Anyway sometimes the harm is obvious and sometimes its invisible, but it all illegal.
If that's your definition of 'burnt out', join the club of just about everyone with a job ever. Although most won't admit it. Working for other people does suck and yes it is inherently unfair. Despite all of the progress we've made, there are still some fundamental aspects of the average human condition that are not so great.

At least it's better than it used to be. Used to be quite common for people to work for zero dollars or very close to zero. In other words outright slavery.

But yes, it absolutely is a goal for most businesses to just use their employees to make as much money as possible, while the owners take in as much cash as possible for as little work as possible. That it the reality and it is quite unfair.

It is confusing as a young person when everyone accepts this situation and won't complain about it. But you will learn, complaining about a common problem will often just make you a target. Even if it's a common problem that other people could use help with. Get with the program -- pretend you are a happy little worker and shut up.

The solution is to get yourself into the ownership class, either by actually building a business or some social manipulation (easiest is to convince someone who likes you to give you money to invest in your idea). Then it is your job to pay as little as possible and get the most out of your employees so that your friends can get the most out of their investment.

The 1935 Japanese novel Musashi, set in the seventeenth century, depicts the protagonist losing a job offer because of a one-woman public smear campaign consisting entirely of lies.

This may be more of a problem now than it was then, but it's certainly not new or unique.
Well employees probably wouldn't make more even if the owner made 59% more.

Owners, I wonder if their lives are good Enough already that they really don't care.

>It comes with automatic emergency braking, collision avoidance, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, and built-in backup camera, standard. Buy a used 2014? It has none of that.

Don't run into stuff? Most of that tech is only useful if you are an absent-minded driver and even then it only covers some cases (e.g. emergency braking doesn't help if the car in front of you slammed into something and you were following too closely). They are selling this tech by exploiting your fears, don't get caught up in it.

Getting in a wreck in a 2014 Corolla is still incredibly safe due to the crumple zones and airbags. The $10k you blew on those features in the new model could easily pay for the damages to a 2014 and would cover all of the cases those features didn't (e.g. someone running into your car in the lot).
No they don't. They look like a shitty replica of them made by someone who understands nothing about art. Just because they both have "gradients" means nothing. iOS has smooth 3D gradients. These have a plain and awful looking linear gradient from top to bottom with two colors. The messenger one you linked has so much detail and personality. These ones have neither. They are, as mentioned above, like cheap Clipart. If you honestly can't see the difference between the one you linked and these new Android ones, then I don't know what to tell you.

Top quality article. Now we need one with specifics of how to write code that's aware of this. For instance when do use what compiler hints. Anyone have links or books?
ISTM you could get all the same benefits much more easily using four-wheel independent steering, on regular, cylindrical wheels. The design could also be much more compact by sacrificing fully horizontal motion. (IE if the rear wheels only turned up to +-30 degrees, say.) It could still park very tightly using a zig-zag motion, and in any other situation tighter turning wouldn't be useful.

Porsche (and possibly other companies) are already moving in this direction, with newer models featuring computer-controlled rear wheel steering. At low speeds the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front, and at high speeds in the same direction.
The higher power requirements make them pretty crappy when it comes to range, particularly if you are actually using it to tow or carry something heavy. Compare gas mileages of trucks to cars to see what I mean.

It seems comfortable to be a fascist, your moral principles are simple and your path forward, too.

I wonder if the health upsides of having simpler and easier to follow moral principles, would outweigh the downsides of being offended and angry all the time.

I sure hope I won't have to find out. It's a privilege to be a non-partisan, although perhaps I can't quite say I am, because I despise communism even more than I despise fascism. The intellectual dishonesty with which mainstream (which is to say, leftist) media praise communism and attack Nazism is revolting.
The previous fork was io.js, it's contributions have now been brought back under the Node.js umbrella. This new fork is almost a non-story by comparison, if it gets even a minor level of traction amongst developers I'll be surprised. Even the repo creator has half-arsed the readme.
This fork adds nothing, it's just a "politics" thing, I doubt it will survive past a few weeks

Yes, you're entirely correct - that is precisely why it's concave - as Parallax mapping is purely the illusion of depth, instead of adding any actual depth or height, this means that the perceived depth effect is constrained to the surface of the object.

If the pyramid shape were to extend past the surface of the texture, it would look fantastic up until the point that the viewing angle of the surface would cause the pyramid to visibly protrude past the edge, at which point anything extending beyond those boundaries would be lost.

This thread was a truly depressing read.

And forgive them, for they know not who they are.
Yeah, but where were you when an actual angry mob, with actual semi-automatic weapons was standing outside a synagogue, yelling violent threats at the congregation inside? Because it appears as if freedom of religion is also one of those bedrock principles, and at least to me, these weapons looked a lot more dangerous than Twitter. Plus, you know: they did actually kill someone.

A better solution would be to provision each car with its own key pair and the car maker's root CA just before it rolls off the factory floor, that way it can constantly beam 2 signals:

- a signed (regulator-mandated) signal for cars from other manufacturers;

- an encrypted signal intended for cars from the same manufacturer.

The first signal would be signed by the root CA of the car maker to indicate that its communications can be trusted.

The encrypted signal would of course carry an information-rich payload for coordinating a convoy to travel at the same speed, brake, signal a turn, etc simultaneously, for instance.
> I lost a great many friends just because I don't think it's okay to punch people. Good riddance honestly.

I doubt you lost the friends for that. You lost friends likely because of the beliefs that you supported with this. While people can be pretty unreasonable, I would be cautious to paint them even more so. It's only going to strengthen any divide on issues that likely caused you to lose the friends.

Another part is the context of the argument. I'm pretty against punching people too. I'm not going to bring up that argument for Richard Spencer because I don't think people punching actual Nazi's is a big problem compared to the many others I support. What issues you choose to be outspoken about is a statement in itself.

Edit: This is all context based. See OP's thread below for specifics.

Why did you think it was disturbing, and what's your opinion on the theories the violence at Charlottesville was planned?

The police seems to have effected a policy that all but necessitated a violent confrontation, by forcing the alt-right protestors to move through a large hostile crowd of Antifa protestors on the way to their new location, and the police not protecting the alt-right protesters.

There's more strange things that happened that day, but was there any official explanation why the police officers were ordered to use these unusual and harmful tactics?
> because you have to hand patients off between doctors more often, and you lose information.

Unfortunately, I can't find it now, but there was also a study that part of the handoff problem is that the "new" doctor feels the need to put his "stamp" on the treatment and consequently causes action even when there doesn't need to be any change.
Not really. I've had plenty of disagreements with people online, and have seen others in similar disputes, and in all those cases I've seen zero examples of someone being doxxed. Perhaps you're just thinking of a handful of high profile cases of doxxing. For the vast majority of online disputes it's a non-issue.
