I had a Sony RX100III until last year.
It is considered a top-of-the-line compact camera.
Yet sony thinks it's cool to have an app store for a camera that costs somewhere in the 800USD ballpark to sell you "apps" for 4 dollars to allow you to add software features. There are a handful of apps in the whole marketplace, proving that this is indeed a poor business idea. The whole "you bought a camera for ±1k but can't afford 4$" discussion is unrelevant, i am just frustrated that Sony can't develop these features in house and supply them to their users as it should have done in the first place.
I find combined PTO is great as long as you have enough of it. I get 35 days PTO and I don't have a problem taking a day off when I'm sick.

Now if I only had 15 days PTO....
"My video of my kid's first at-bat, on a DVD in front of my plasma cutter, got mysteriously clobbered when I turned the cutter on."
This fits with my experience. My department has some cubicle farms and some shared but much more private office suites. The cube farm people are always getting sick. Somebody comes in with a cough and promptly spreads it. It then can take weeks before there's a week without somebody sick.

Getting people to stay home when they are sick has been harder to implement than you'd think. I've tried with my work team. A number of the developers are from cultures that have what I would call a very stubborn "must work at all costs" mentality. It can take some persuasion (berating?) to get some of them to see that taking a sick day doesn't make them a "bad worker," but showing up sick, getting other people sick, and pushing buggy code because they're sick does.
I'm not positive, but I think zip verification fails open on foreign cards.

Here's an arbitrary one I know exists: 85310. Try it next time and see if it works.
What was the purpose of this article? It didn’t give a definitive conclusion either way nor did it give enough information to discuss intelligently.
It is most probable outcome indeed.
Hi, I'm one of the founders of Shelf. We think teams and organizations are wasting too much time locating and sharing knowledge.

Been working on helping solve this this issue for quite a while now keeping things in more of a closed circle of beta users until recently. Why? Because we wanted to build a well rounded product based on customer feedback before opening this thing up.

Anyway, so far we've built Shelf primarily on a NodeJs stack making heavy use of microservices and recently more and more Lambdas with (and sometimes without) the Serverless framework. And we built a web clipper as browser extension for Chrome and Firefox to make it easier to clip and share web content.

Would love to get your feedback on if and how you experience the pain point. Of course feedback on the product itself would be great, too, if you want to give it a spin.
Every major version was a new os. Their phone strategy was terrible and lacked commitment. It didn't help that it was started by one CEO and abandoned midway through by the next CEO.
Interesting stuff. Boost do seem to be aiming for complete wrapper coverage.
You like to characterize as vague (or worse) what can be
reasonably inferred or researched and have a knack for constructing positions by pleading ignorance: which makes it simpler when creating straw men and redirecting|reducing conversation scope.

You sound naive and well meaning but I think that is artifice. Your comments reflect the essentially reactive nature of the PC movement (to me) which is to reject what you find distasteful and inject whatever you believe in (edit: with no real historical consciousness).

Do you believe that experienced white men should be displaced (by default) by persons of color or women in a profession because of skill equivalency? Is there a ratio for that displacement? Is it based on merit or is it based on something else?
Same feeling here, MS used to call OSS as cancer and tried so hard to kill it, now it begins to "embrace" that old cancer, I hope it will not become the real tumor and damage the so-far-so-good OSS society from within. People learn history for a reason, I'm still very suspicious at this point.
I agree, but add that 'down with big brother' would be considered problematic. Additionally fact checking, while a meritorious idea that should be more common, is deliberately used inconsistently as a political tool.
As a Bogen hex plate user, I would be aghast at having an Arca Swiss mount on the bottom of my camera.

Furthermore, a permanent Arca Swiss would prevent innovative designs such as the Really Right Stuff L brackets (which would be my choice if I were to ever switch QR plate systems).

Furthermore, many QR plates are protected by patent. Having the classic screw isn’t.
The spell checker in Chrome can already do that to some extent. For example, "The men walked over their to grab they're food." gets corrected: https://i.imgur.com/NR4zyVA.png
> Government systems are rarely built or staffed by the top talent, often outsourced to lowest-bid contractors, and may not even have people on call for issues. It's not unusual for government sites to be scheduled to function only during standard business hours.

Except that's not what happened, the Obama administration set up The US Digital Service to fix Healthcare.gov and specifically staffed it with top talent.

If you did a survey on this, what fraction of adults do you think would get it right? 80%? Remember, this system is supposed to be used by anyone, including the poorly educated and recent immigrants.

New Film, Magazine: The Uncertain Future of Artificial Intelligence and IoT
I think you and the parent comment are both partially right - from having watched a number of teardowns, the Juicero was (if anything) massively over-engineered in terms of number of parts, cost of those parts, how they were machined, etc.

It was also kind of clear that it went too far, that a more experienced hardware design and engineering team would have found (not a cheaper), but a more effective way to handle those same challenges.
Right. It's like a db iff you have and enforce a convention to keep your data organized.
You can dictate prices and have a private service model.

See Medicare Advantage for a US based example of this that is fairly popular with consumers.
Well SF is surrounded by salt water, so I would think that must have a corrosive effect when it rolls in on the fog.
I have an Alcatel Idol 4s for Windows, and I actually like it a lot.

(Confusingly is not the same hardware as the android Idol 4s. The windows version actually has much better hardware. Snapdragon 820 processor.)

I would say that some of the apps were either sub-par or missing. The Uber app wasn't as good, and there was no Lyft app. Yet, I found that the mobile websites for both were perfectly fine, and you can pin them to your start screen just like apps.

The AMC theater app for both Android and Windows always gave me endless trouble, but I likewise realized that their mobile website was just fine.

The Comcast/Xfinity site likewise can do basically anything their app can do.

I think being forced to use mobile sites is much less unpleasant than one would expect, and this is the way things should be trending anyways. It is the only way to achieve adequate cross-platform development.
Thus, my phrasing "feature _subset_ _may_ be enough" :) . I used to use DTA for this subset and am happy about Download Star, but it's totally understandable you relied on more.

As for "not upgrade": do stay on ESR for as long as possible and hope more fully-formed alternatives for your favorite addons eventually arrive. But really, don't disable upgrades altogether and risk being pwned due to running an unpatched, insecure browser.
As an ex-WP user who also switched to android I would argue the android UX is a step backward in some respects.

When I open an app in WP I received immediate loading/animation feedback.

In android many core actions (such as initiating a phone call) cause temporary freeze while the app loads. Did the phone receive my tap? Do I need to tap again or wait?

Coming from a more fluid interface like the WP this is something I really miss and makes android feel a little more primitive in comparison (but the advanced apps do make up for it)
>why should people's social lives be built outside work?

Because it is much more genuine, easier, and less risky.

There are countless laws, regulations, and policies dictating how one is to act in the workplace: you must dress this way, you must use only approved language (no swearing), you must not speak on controversial topics, you must not offend anyone.

A simple joke can get you reported to human resources and potentially fired.
The reason is simply, for performance. To avoid having to go to the kernel every time we need to allocate memory for a query, and avoid having to clear memory on free/reuse. It is made for Vespa, but also used for other programs.

Similar in purpose to Google's TCMalloc:

Kristin Persson, Materials Genomist, Speaks Out
A big part of confusion is that the left is no longer interested in the common man and elevating the lower classes. So no, they won't advocate seizing the means. They are instead obsessed with identity politics, which seems to be another aspect of signaling and status seeking. Those who have victim cred wield it, those who don't will display excessive concern to try and be a good ally.

The BBC, like so many others, will absolutely maintain certain narratives from a left Orthodox view, particularly anything to do with sexism, racism or islamophobia.

They decide ahead of time who the victim and oppressor is, and quote only what works to support that hypothesis. There is still a pretense of impartiality, but that's all. There's a reason many classic liberal and alt types have adopted a policy of recording their own interviews and publishing them alongside any outlet featuring them.

It wasn't always so, if you look at articles from their archive of 10+ years ago, you find a much more balanced and neutral perspective.
Why Play Store is full of different iPhone nothces?
Yeah, if I had that much I'd be much less conservative for sure. You work for a European company or do you just have clout to ask for that much?

Compounding this is the fact that I can only carry over 5 days per year, so at most I can only use 20 days in a calendar year). In a few years my PTO gets a bump to 20 days a year.
> as a matter of principle I think what happens to people is just as important regardless of where they are

Important to whom?

That's low-level code implementing a wrapper around the underlying libc socket API; there's no alternative to unsafe blocks there as it wraps a legacy API written in C.

The "this is safe" comment is just a (very verbose) explanation as to why the wrapper code is doing the correct thing. Notably, there's another similar comment just above it. In fact, looking through the file if anything I'm quite impressed at how carefully it's written.
It would be nice to see a table of the things one cannot legally say in different countries.

That is indeed a nice chunk of time. I wouldn't have any issue in that case either. I can't really complain too much about mine but 15 days is basically just middling vacation time for a mid-career US professional with no sick/personal time on top of it.
Interesting question. I have always bought used steel frame road bikes from the 90s and consistently drop people on expensive carbon fiber bikes.

If you aren't optimizing for many other factors already the amount of weight loss from the lighter frame will have a minimal effect.
What is the alternative, break the license or change your own? If I want to allow my library in closed code, I cant import GPL. Hence, I have to rewrite it. Rewriting Apache into GPL makes little sense, but is little work. You can just import it and slap GPL on top.

You cant just mix licenses, because licenses disallow/allow activities.

The ACA is far from perfect, though it doesn't help that the more aggressive components were kneecapped by Republicans so Republicans could bitch about the weak points for the next 7 years or so.

I'm a big believer in Single Payer, I mean come on, we have huge rolls of the public already on Medicare for a variety of reasons. Why not just put everyone on it and be done already?
That is even bigger a problem for those that do bare metal deployment. You are right - k8s is fairly built out as a post cloud load balancer system.

However, in the limited work happening on lb increases, it's nginx rather than haproxy.
Very cool! I'm always bummed when I read a cool book and forget nearly everything after a couple of months (especially info dense books). Thought about taking notes on paper but this is way better, though I wouldn't want the daily mail.

Windows Phone was the best thing since webOS. The developer experience was (and still is) a lot better than for iOS or Android. I'm sure it will eventually come back.
You might want to consider adding filters. We built an online MOOC directory, specifically for R courses (http://www.r-exercises.com/r-courses/), and noticed that the majority of visitors use the filters we offer. E.g. finding all courses that are free, aimed at the beginner level, or offered on a specific platform.
Long story short: Developers, developers, developers, developers. The same reason why people won't switch from Windows to Linux is why people won't switch from Android to Windows Phone.
There's a mild delight in noting that Microsoft failed to break into someone else's platform stranglehold. Personally I wasn't sad to see it fail to obtain a place in the market.

Disclaimer -- I've never used a Microsoft phone. Indeed, I only know one person that had one - and even then it was an employer decision. Nor have I ever heard anyone wish out loud that their phone was more like their Microsoft Windows computer, or that it integrated better with their existing Microsoft systems. People who want to 'think different' could have embraced Maemo, BB, Sailfish, Firefox, or various other niche platforms. And then observed the same problem -- lack of people developing applications for them.
I have family members that live paycheck to paycheck, have very little of their future saved/set-aside, and rely on government programs and subsidies far more than they certainly realize. Challenge them on ANYTHING regarding Trump and you'll get a never-ending earful. The number of people who are in the group of "Get rid of Obamacare!" + "I have insurance through the Affordable Care Act" is startling.

It absolutely shocks me the ignorance (literal use) of so many people when it comes to politics, particularly at the Federal level. Trump isn't the first time we've seen this, but it certainly feels like the most severe manifestation.

Yeah, that's not what's commonly understood to be "identity theft". If someone steals your credit card then you call up your credit card company, say "that's not me" and they drop the charges from your account. Happens to essentially everyone who uses credit cards.

Identity theft is when someone else opens up an entirely new card in your name. Often, you won't even know this happened until you're rejected by a credit check or something, and you see this new delinquent account that you know nothing about.

It's distinctly different and worse from your scenario because it implies a loss of information like SSN which are much harder to deal with. Someone steals your CC#? Replace the card, done. Someone is able to sign up for credit as you? Now you're in a much worse situation, since it's a demonstration that your info is "out there" and people can use it. And stuff like address history, DOB, SSN, are much harder to change.

But per this article, neither is really "identity theft", and that's a pretty interesting way of looking at it, I'd never thought of.
Well shit thats what peope
don't get. You accept a shitty system that kinda works or a national system that works super well that looks like modern fascism with good biometrics.

I really liked my Windows Phone and wish they were still being made. The OS was stable and fast, and you could resize the squares to make them easier to hit with your thumb. Battery life was good. I think if they'd gone with premium hardware they'd make sales to people who appreciate a good looking phone and one that didn't make them wait for pointless animations to finish.

Now that Microsoft has talented hardware people working on really nice products like Surface, they could probably do an in-house design on a new phone. Borrow a page from Motorola/Google's Moto X Pure Edition and put a wooden back on it - it's grippier than plastic or glass, and looks classier too.
What is the connection between Google and Redox?

I didn’t understand you to be honest.
Yup, I'm seeing this with Google sites (sort of) right now. Even though they're rolling out a new version, it's pretty much impossible to get a digest of all pages on the old sites with revisions. There is an API to access this data, but it's behind an amalgam of out-of-date documentation and forgotten APIs.

edit: clarification
Then do it on Tuesday night, not Sunday morning. Do it before the open enrollment period starts.

There are plenty of gaps in what Google do that Yahoo! do or did better (stocks, sports, news, weather, chat, groups etc). It's a shame they focused on competing against exactly where Google were the strongest.
Windows 10 Mobile is better. Developers can use the same XAML + C# toolchain for universal apps, but easily deploy to desktops as well. The Edge browser is much better. It is fast, and shares the same kernel as regular Windows, as well as Xbox.

The upcoming mobile version will have something called CShell which means that the interface will be shared among desktop and mobile, meaning that there will be no differences aside from x86 support.
You had me until the Linux part. I've been using GNU+Linux and BSD as an OS since the late 90s. I've supported windows and osx as a sysadmins as well.

Windows is not the least worst choice, and gnu/Linux has made huge strides in the past few years towards just works. That said though,one of my issues is this concept that everyone should be able to use a computer without learning how.

Comp uters are inherently technical, its not that hard to learn. Its like what I started telling all the old people who kept saying, at the workplace, "I don't know computers..." Or some variation.

My response, well you better learn or you aren't going to have a job much longer...

I just don't get the want for a chimpanzee usable OS.
Can I just make a guess that you don't know anything about the Healthcare.gov infrastructure? It was extremely widely reported at the time how the Obama administration fired the first contractor (CGI Federal) for lack of quality, and how a number of people from the private sector came in to design it (sometimes at far below market rates).

Anyway, you're are making general platitudes about "government systems" without regard for the level, department, or any other factor that would influence the quality. And you think, "not unusual for government sites to be scheduled to function only during standard business hours". It would be a genuine shock to anyone knowledgeable about these sort of things if this were truly technically necessary.

You're cherry picking the article. They also looked at the amount of reported crime (i.e. 911 calls, non-emergency calls etc), which also dropped.
> ... more reputable source ...

Sorry for the sidetrack, but this comment struck me as odd. perhaps it was just a poor choice of words. FWIW, the last thing I thought I'd ever do was defend the Daily Mail. While I fundamentally disagree with the Daily Mail's politics and abhor their celebrity obsession, it is a 121 year-old newspaper with the second highest circulation in the UK. I haven't heard their reputation questioned before. No more than any other news source, that is.
Responsibility on your end only makes sense if you actually have control over whatever you are supposed to be responsible for. So, responsibility to not share a secret password with a third party? Fine! Responsibility to pay a bank money because the bank believed some criminal when they said they were you? Not OK!

What matters is that the power to actually do something about a problem needs to be aligned with responsibility, so if the bank decides to use unreliable authentication, that's fine, but then they have to bear the responsibility and live with the fact that some people who actually were the real person later claim it wasn't them. If they don't want to bear that responsibility, it's up to them to use reliable authentication so they can actually prove it was you.
Like with most of RMSs terminology, I disagree with the dichotomy of developer vs user.

Freedom 1 and 3 apply specifically to users who are or will become developers.
I believe what we actually want to talk about is publisher vs user/consumer instead of developer vs user.

The FSF people really like their ambiguous terminology, unfortunately.
