And what about saying "bless you?" People sure have superstitious hangups about sneezing. And I don't mind, it doesn't hurt anything, until I get a sarcastic "you're welcome" from people for not thanking them for blessing me. I seriously don't get that. When did saying "bless you" require an official display of gratitude? I didn't ask for anything and would just like to sneeze in peace, please.
Nice validation that the pain really does exist! :)
Could you elaborate or give some links on the better features of Samsung phones compared to (equivalent) Apple phones? I'm honestly curious, because I haven't bothered looking outside the Apple ecosystem but last time around my experience was really good, until around the iPhone 5S (I went for the Nexus 4, I think).
Very likely. Advertising is a proven and resilient industry.
Interesting. I will definitely consider adding filters in the future.

Originally, I just wanted to a build minimalist search engine that just gave the bare essentials (kind of like Google?)
They are monopolizing and centralizing the Web to the detriment of everyone. You don't need to believe me, though: the free and open Web is on a march toward death, Cloudflare is one of the nails in its coffin, and I will be happy enough to say "I told you so" once the grave is filled.
Nest Hello – new product
Yes, precisely. C, for the most part (function pointers are an exception) has a pleasant syntax. Go didn't like semicolons and other stuff that it found unneeded, but mostly took a lot of syntax from C so it's easy to read Go code even without understanding the language.

Rust kind of went in a different direction. Why? Understanding C syntax is pretty basic, there are a lot of C like languages. Why not be another one?

Personally, if every language was just a C variant I'd be happier. It would feel like "OK, I've got the basics down, let's go explore this dialect that added garbage collection and strings as real types" rather than "I want strings as real types, darn it, I need to go learn this Tcl language". That might be an extreme way to make my point, but I think it's clear, right?
And why was this new weekly downtime not present during previous years?

When you combine this with calls by Trump to refuse to pay insurance companies (see https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-healthcare-trump/trum...), it sure looks malicious.
I want what you’re offering, but I do need real security assurances, beyond “secure hosting”.

> Enterprise-level security: Single Sign-On (SSO), Data backup and recovery, Role-based permissions, Secure hosting, AES encryption

Ok but that’s “consumer level” for SaaS.

For Enterprise, you need to prove to me that a malicious insider at your organization can not access the enterprise’s data. Dealing with insiders and RBAC models is particularly interesting when offering search.

You need to provide full access and full change audits trails.

You need to provide a business continuity plan, as noted in a sibling comment.

You can make a more trusted claim by getting your solution HIPAA certified. If you are compliant for storing personal medical information, you’re basically there for “enterprise-level security”.

I am curious if this means they will enable access controls on streams somehow.

One of the challenges with video delivery and where sites like YouTube can't work is if your business relies on providing videos to paid or logged-in members only.

Patreon creators get around this in a kludgy way by using unlisted YT videos (which can still be shared by rogue patrons) but that's not ideal.

But if you want to control access to a stream based on some custom business logic in your application, you're currently stuck serving your own video or using one of the existing combination of encoder/server/player that their post alludes to.
Is there more to this? How can they just close an account with $1500 that you earned and call it a day? If what you're saying is true there's no question that it has happened to thousands of other people too.
Especially the closer you get to certain topics (like crime).

It seems to me that a substantial fraction of the people who quote that paper, assuming they have even read it, have failed to think critically about it.
Palm sold webOS because it ran out of money. It ran out of money because webOS was not a success.

It was really close, Verizon was going to make the Pre its flagship device but changed its mind when the Droid was a success. The smartphone landscape could looks very different right now had the timelines been just a tad different.
We already do that for other types of content. Won't be different for video.
It doesn't really have to do with the power of the device, it's just that once you hit the call button the UI hangs until the call starts before switching to 'calling view' rather than acknowledging the user's intent immediately. It's certainly more noticeable on slower phones but it's fundamentally a UX problem.

I had real hopes for the Windows Phones, I thought they were really exploring a unique approach to the whole thing. I'm on Apple right now and it is the Apple ecosystem that keeps me here more than anything.
In 2010 I nearly joined a company which was building their business on deploying and managing Windows Mobile devices to enterprises. Glad I didn't do that!

I probably could have - but at the end of the day, it was money well invested.

I moved my business elsewhere (not toptal or any other platform, but a devshop) and told the same thing to 4-5 other devs that are my close friends who were charging about the same rate. At the end of the day, they might have gotten $1500, but they lost 5x that in matter of seconds.

I still feel a bit bitter about it though, but I need to let go.
There's a distinct lack of Javascript, few (no?) images, and the CSS seems very light. That'll get you a long way right there.

Well I don't want to work on C++ or Rust in the future should I go into every thread about it and slam them for their shortcomings? Should I call every dev that uses them stupid? That is what he was talking about. You can not like the language, but don't call people who do like it and use it idiots. There are better ways to get your points across.
Totally understand this perspective. I guess it depends on the type of organization and what you're willing to put in the cloud vs. what you want to manage yourself.

Our architecture is generally built in a way with self-hosted in mind but it's somewhere down the road and not something we'll have in the short to mid-term.
My samsung s7 edge, has had this problem with phone calls for quite a while and, while not the fastest on the market, I doubt it would be considered slow.
> Windows Phone was a solid system with a decent easy to use UI it is kind of a pity it didn’t take off.

Agreed. We developed a couple apps way back in Windows Phone 7, and the UI was slick and stylish. The developer tools were fantastic - very fast and easy to create decent apps. Unfortunately we didn't see much ROI for those apps, and then Microsoft decided everyone needed to redo their apps for Windows Phone 8. It was an easy choice to drop support for those apps and stop all development for Windows Phone at that point. The biggest problem people had with Windows Phone was the lack of apps, and it seemed like MS caused that problem themselves.
Totally hear you.

I'm living in a small college-town-adjacent city in rural New England and though I occasionally have pangs of desire for the SV life of some college friends, working for an established company that is not a historic software powerhouse makes stress super manageable, makes me a big fish in a small pond, gives me time to hack on side projects, and opportunity to perfect my hobbies (wood-fired pottery, cooking, and yoga). I took what feels like a big pay cut but cost of living compared to BOS, SV, SEA, or NYC at least zeros that out.

Of course there are problems where adopting technologies/best-practices, hiring a team, or speed of development is like pushing molasses up a sand dune, but leaving that at the door at the end of the day is worth it to me.

Will that balance change? Who knows. The future is hard to predict, but right now it makes a lot of sense to me.

It's like the old phone jack that Apple wants to be rid of--a common and cheap standard that attaches to every known thing in the universe already. And replace it with what? A proprietary system that may be better in some ways, but reduces your choices. Now, I also use the Bogen hex pads--which means if I am out with my Nikon, or my Hasselblad, or my Fuji 6x9, or even my Wista VX, I am good to go.
I think you misread a terribly misreadable statement: what he meant wans't that C and Java look the same, he meant that any two C codebases will share a lot of similarity, any two Java codebases will share a lot of similarity and so on. C++ on the other hand can be anything from "C with objects" to deep template metaprogramming to "has there even been a C++ before 2011?" styles, which are as dissimilar from each other as you can get without crossing language borders.

Comparing "average Android" to WP / iPhone is unfair. Apple is the sole manufacturer of iPhone, while WP mainly refers to Lumia (90% market share by MS/Nokia as per [1]). If you want to compare Android with them, its fair to compare something like Pixel / Galaxy because long tail of other manufacturers just drag the average down.

Does it have analysis services and Integration services yet? Last time it I checked it didn't. It's a big differentiator against open source stacks. If it was available on Linux then perhaps some of our clients would consider moving to Linux based SQL server.
In my experience, the main reason why most organizations run things like SQL Server or indeed Oracle is because they want to run applications that depend on those particular databases.
Poor coverage? For an operating system that has single digit desktop market share?

This is correct. We radically altered how we handle Tor Browser months and months ago. I personally use TBB and I don't see Cloudflare CAPTCHAs.
What is the turnaround time for DNS to propogate on all of those registrars? Are you forced into waiting for TTL's to expire?

I may be wrong but I think eugeneionesco is referencing instant DNS changes which come as a benefit of using Cloudflare and other large DNS management companies. I've never personally seen a registrar offer anything like that.
AMD Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge 12nm FinFET Processors Allegedly Arriving in Feb 2018
When I look at Rust it seems to me to be very much C-inspired syntax. The code-blocks-return-a-value style makes it much easier to understand some conditional paths.

"Why would Rust change the syntax to say the same stuff?" Well, Rust is able to meet all of C's requirements while addressing one of C's big old warts: lexical analysis of C code is Very Hard. (e.g. if this particular build added "-DFOO" or "-Ibar/" to the command line then maybe there's a syntactical error or not).

This means that writing robust tools to analyze or modify C code is Very Hard. I don't know if this was an inspiration for Rust's syntax but regardless I'm thankful that they didn't try to reuse C syntax.

Most other successors to C (save perhaps C++) have taken on features that make them unable to write code that we have been able to write in C (bootloaders, OS kernels, interrupt routines, device drivers, etc). Teams had a really legitimate and mostly sane reason most of the time for saying "we couldn't possibly consider Java/Go/Python/etc because we won't be able to meet our product's latency requirements."

Despite being a little bit more complex than I think it needed to be (I was a junior engineer after all, and this was my first project at my first job) I still think there's more complexity than meets the eye. Like anything that looks simple, there's tons of work behind it.

Sure, but the difference is that Linux might be small in market share on the desktop but it's carved itself a small but self-sustaining niche for itself. Windows Phone didn't even manage that.

If you can use Piwik for things you think must be be more secure then that tells me two things -

1. It's possible for you to use Piwik

2. You don't believe that sending sensitive data to google is always a good idea either. You just don't think that most government-citizen interactions are sufficiently sensitive for some reason.
What about the people that don't like the C style syntax? I think there is room for many different types of syntax. Just stick to the style of languages you like and ignore the ones you don't. Pretty simple.
Indeed. If I recall correctly, it was when there was a 200+ comment thread with the top comment being about abusing Tor users WRT Cloudflare. I believe the CEO showed up, and then later ran an internal test on engineers forcing all of them to run through Tor.

For a short while, it was significantly better. It probably lasted for 3-5 weeks, and then things fairly quickly progressed back to their usual, namely being captcha hell.

(Request first page, do captcha, click on next link, do another captcha, go back to first page, do captcha... wash rinse repeat.)

Expecting sick people to not fill a room with hundreds of millions of aerosolized particles when that could be clearly avoided is a result of simple respect for those around you and evidence of manners and good breeding.

I like this idea - but I worry about the cost.

YouTube is, essentially, free. Even if I don't want to use them as a host, I can upload a video and a few minutes later download it in DASH and a variety of older formats - again, for free.

If I do use them, I might get a few quid of advertising revenue.

CloudFlare video lets me keep people on my site (damn those distracting cat videos) and possibly gives me a branded player. That's nice - but is the cost of use (per minute transcoding) going to be worth it?

Oh hey, I know this. From a commit message earlier this year for an SDK I own:

SDKSender: switch to ephemeral NSURLSession and disable cookie storage

Switch to a private (ephemeral) session independent of the app and
disables cookies. The SDK otherwise shares the cookie storage with the
app, which is not desired. This was causing the SDK to send the
$dayjob tracking cookie (and others) to $dayjob API endpoint.

I would consider using it because:

1. I work in a backwards enterprise shop where "no one ever got fired for choosing Microsoft" and it would be easier (read as "possible) to get IT here to support it than Postgres. (That said, they do support Mongo internally but won't admit that to software teams)

2. It's much cheaper than Oracle, which is the other "enterprise" database where it's easier to get an install done

3. It's not Oracle

It depends on what you mean by "console" - this isn't going to be an equivalent to one of the big systems or become a "platform", no, but that doesn't seem to be what they are aiming for. Will people pick them up and use them? I don't see why not. It's an attractive alternative to a steam link or whatever.
My idea is that:

1) It attracts developers who will provide fixes, bug reports, documentation, etc. for free (or even draw potential full-time developers for the project).

2) It makes the project look more "trendy" and appeals to developers who will try not to use proprietary software; this is the same move that .NET did and it seems to have worked very well.

In Europe, in a lot of office-based work if you get sick you take some days off and it doesn't impact your normal yearly 20-30 day vacation allowance. If you need more than X days (in my case 5), you need a paper from your doctor, otherwise you self declare as sick.

Yup!

But they do this with version 6.5 then "rewrote apps" for 7, and then "rewrite apps" for 8 and now for 10.

Are you sure that you're using the Tor Browser? If you're shoving up your browser's traffic through Tor and its header is different from the Tor Browser you'll in most cases end up with a captcha.

Edit: Also the event you described happened much earlier than when the drop of Cloudflare captchas happened, which was around if I remember correctly when Google announced "invisible captchas".
