I'm not convinced. I don't think it's reasonable to expect every single person to be an investor in anything other than sensible necessities, such as education and property, in order to live a comfortable life. Quantitative easing as a mechanism for stimulating growth is nothing but theft from the non-investor class. I haven't "stuffed money under my mattress" and I'm struggling to not go into debt living in L.A. as an engineer of 20 years even though my salary is in the top 10% percentile for my experience and title. That's absurd. The house I'm renting doubled in value in the last 4 years. My income is going up slower than housing prices, so I've missed the boat, and will not be able to buy a house unless I move. Inflation has had a real and significant impact on my life.

Title false, the posts and shares had already been taken down; but cached copies were still available, by error of omission, to its analysis tool. That part of the cache has now been removed.

Back when I was employed in a newspaper office, you were given mere seconds or maybe a couple of minutes to title articles; it wasn't expected that you read the whole article first, there wasn't time. Most staff were involved in the advertising department, news was the filler, the afterthought. Could be that hasn't changed much.

Reminds me, I need to replace the insulation around my ducts in the crawlspace, that Comcast's tech tore out while looking for a punchthrough while I was upstairs making noise to guide him to it (and it was nowhere near where he ripped out the insulation, also why I didn't notice the damage while he was there).

Should have done the work myself, but he was already there and seemed at first to be ok.

When you dread any kind of service call you have to have with these people (like ATT taking over a month and multiple, multiple calls, to change a calling plan), you know they are doing something wrong.

That seems to be one of the exact concerns of the experts cited in the article:

So I just downloaded the “Movies Anywhere” app for iOS and connected my Amazon account and my iOS account. I got my five free movies — all surprisingly recent and well known to try it out. The movies showed up in my Amazon Prime library immediately and after an hour in my iTunes library as a purchase.

I also thought that the app was going to ask Me for my itunes password because in 13 years of being an iTunes user, I’ve never known Apple to let you use your iTunes credentials to authenticate with a third party platform.

Buying a digital movie is still a no go for me because the rare movie I want I could find cheaper physically. But the main complaint I had against buying a movie digitally - being tied to one service is gone as long as the movie is available on Movies Anywhere.

Even if this service does go kaput, I still have access to the movies from Apple, Amazon, and Google.
Part of the issue is that programming is largely seen today as a process of problem solving using an "agile" hack it 'till it works approach. Quick thinking to put out a fire or implement a quick feature using some new technology easily learned is most valued, along with the ability to be "flexible" when it comes to quality of work and workplace demands.

Given this, one might as well look to recruit some smart, cheap and enthusiastic graduate. Sadly industry experience and lessons learned don't seem so important.
FWIW you'd still need Qt 5.7.1 and an updated fork of QtWebKit: https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki

You're suggesting that someone should buy into a counter-offer. This is terrible advice. Accepting a counter-offer is a sure-fire way to get yourself shortlisted for the next round of layoffs.

You're right, in Theravada alone, there are 40 types of meditation, most of which could be considered a mindfulness meditation. Though it seems like when we talk modernly about 'Mindfulness Meditation' it's only referencing Anapanasati ('Mindfulness of Breathing') or Vipassana (Insight Meditation), although there have been some studies on Metta Meditation (unconditional loving-kindness).

FWIW some people from the Tridactyl project are working with Mozilla at getting a better keyboard WebExtension API for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061

It's going quite slow however...
It's not about the stuff that just cancels out, it's about everything that doesn't.

Money you already owe becomes more expensive to pay back.

It turns the currency into an investment vehicle that competes with economically productive activity for investment. If cash in a mattress predictably appreciates by 4% a year then nobody will be willing to invest in anything that produces less than that in real returns, so all of that productive activity disappears out of the economy to be replaced by currency speculation. Or is forced to pay the higher returns to investors by paying lower wages to employees or charging higher prices to customers, and is able to because less available investment means less competition when your would-be competitors don't get funded.

When most of the currency is held by speculators it causes high volatility in the currency value, which interferes with normal businesses using it as a currency because the value can fluctuate wildly even for those who only hold the currency temporarily. Which leads to economic inefficiency and less competition again.

Everything about it causes unearned wealth to go to people who uselessly hoard currency at the expense of everyone else.

WebExtensions are a common extension format/API, i.e. Chrome extensions are WebExtensions.

However, each browser vendor has their own specific additions, and hopefully Mozilla will add some things addons like Vimperator would need, see e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061

When used together with another language high level language, C++ takes the role of low level unsafe blocks. So there wouldn't exist too much difference with a pure Rust application full of unsafe blocks.

Which is the approach taken by Google on Android and ChromeOS.

My understanding is that Fuchsia would follow the same approach, using only Dart for applications.

Are there any examples of Rust applications in Fucshia?
There's Vimium-FF and Saka Key at the moment:

edit: Oh, looks like Tridactyl has quite some code already. I'm not sure if it's runnable yet, though.
Broadcom already dumped Broadcom wifi chips, Cypress bought them.
Yeah, it probably does come across that way.

It's because I'm used to receiving reports of issues with no (or very little) information that is helpful in actually determining what the real problem is: "The network is slow", "so-and-so can't send e-mail", "Extremely high packet loss" from people who don't understand traceroute, and so on. When I get these nowadays I simply close them out unless the reporter can provide any useful details (which usually has to be pried out of them) so I guess it has just become natural for me to respond that way.

It would be like walking up to an auto mechanic and saying "My car won't start. What's wrong with it?". There are 1,000 reasons why and without some more information it's going to be impossible what the actual cause is.
From a risk perspective, incorrect. Its only from the hindsight, where the iPhone development could be perceived as linear, that this is correct.

Fingerworks, and any others, were acquired after risk factors went down. Never forget your own hindsight bias, where the pdf collapses to 1.
That's very nice. It's approaching the QNX level of microkernel.

One unusual feature of QNX is that the kernel doesn't parse strings anywhere. There's a "resource manager", but that's a process. Programs register with the resource manager for a piece of the pathname namespace ("/dev", "/fs", etc.) and then get open requests sent to them when a pathname starts with their part of the namespace. Parsing creates a large attack surface, and getting it out of the kernel is a win.

QNX tries to avoid variable-length objects in the kernel. Messages are variable length and copied by the kernel, but from one user space to another, not queued in kernel space. Most of the ways a kernel can run out of memory are avoided in QNX. If the kernel is out of resources, some system calls return errors, but the kernel doesn't crash.

If you're doing a kernel in Rust, it's helpful to think that way. Rust doesn't handle out-of-memory conditions well.
In most cases, you don't. You're just ignoring double taxation treaties.

The Touch ID sensor value in the second hand market is not reflective of the cost to Apple... it’s expensive because there are no third party replacements, so the supply is restricted to parts taken from broken phones.
well i would advice do actual comparision, take 5mb file and compress it using brutul method in Backbird, it will reduce it in kbs. If yours can do better then even i'll start using yours :)
Monogame is practically a drop in replacement which has multi-platform support/targets. FNA is also effectively the same, with a slightly more "purist" approach.

I honestly just assume that anyone that says XNA in the context of development in the last 5 years actually means one of the modern mono implementations.
Copy-pasting an answer I've given about Vimium earlier:

I've used Vimium for some months myself, and wasn't really happy with it. The reasons why mainly boil down to how Vimium is quite limited in what it can do. For example:

- It can't change the user interface at all - qutebrowser has a much more minimal UI.

- It can't spawn external processes. In qutebrowser, you can simply hit ctrl-e while editing some text input, to edit it in e.g. Vim. Or you can use :bind ,v spawn mpv {url} to add a keybinding which spawns mpv with the current page, to watch YouTube videos in a real video player.

- As soon as you are on some special page (like the Chrome extension store, or the "new tab" page), it stops working, because it can't intercept keypresses there. (yes, I've read the other answers about that now)

- In general, qutebrowser is much more configurable and extensible. You can easily integrate it with shell or Python scripts via userscripts, and soon-ish there'll be a Python plugin API as well.
The one time I came across upx, it was used on some malware. It was on a programme named gnome-pty-helper in a user's .config directory that was installed in cron and set to phone home to some locations that were stored in clear once upx had been used to unpack it.

Years back I used gzexe and also some pkzip based thing on DOS. On a modern system, you're better of enabling filesystem level compression which also won't break OS paging if the executable is run more than once.

Bow to the king.
I believe so too, but it's not even that much a function of team structure. A proper design will have lots of places that are mostly self-contained at various levels of abstraction - more than people you have in your team. I believe work should be distributed among those boundaries, because it lets people agree on the interfaces and work mostly in isolation.

Also, most of the time, small self-contained units of code are trivial to fix if the original developer goes under the bus, because small means any half-decent developer should be able to read the code[0] and understand it, and self-contained means you're not afraid to change things because you can easily track how the effect of your changes propagates.

I refuse to work with people which such fragile egos, but I agree on the architecture.

Having a lot of individual pieces that connect using simple, straightforward interfaces is much more flexible and maintainable in the long run - it's the same reasoning that draws people to microservices.

Is there any completely offline, open source finance tracker app?
What i want is something similar to Spendee app on android.

However i dont trust them with my financial data and dont even want to know how they'll misuse it. I dont give damn about their promises because all companies sell data and i believe i don't want any cloud, sync feature. My data should not leave my device at all.

So is there any open source app (+point if it has beautiful ui) that is completely offline and makes not even a single internet call, not even for checking updates and provides basic finance and daily budget tracking.
I dont want to link my bank account with nor do I want extra sync and number of other extra features..
Earlier today I wrote a ruby script to go through a JavaScript file, find all ocurrences where a method was written in a certain way, and convert it to a new format.

I realized before writing it that there I would never use this script after today, no one ever had to see it, and it would never get version controlled. So i just wrote it in the quickest "get it functional for 95% of cases and throw an error otherwise"

It was kind of fun. Multiple parts had godawful big-O run times, multiple anti patterns, etc. But none of that mattered since it would never be used on a massive file and would never be in production. It took me back to that phase where i was young and doing pet projects and i could be as selfish as possible.
> it's a bet on being able to muscle into the absolutely massive mobile ecosystem.

The difficulty there is at least 90% of the AR market will be passive experiences, and at least half of those will be hand held, which basically means Apple and Android have already won half of the AR market, they can just photocopy their way to market share the way Microsoft did in the 90s.

And the trouble for headset makers is that handheld market will put some serious network effect pressure on them.

The hope I see is that technical differentiation will provide the moat against Apple and Google, but I have a hard time imagining what tech is going to be so hard for them to copy.

The most sensitive users will just stick to handheld where fidelity doesn't matter. And the most adventurous users will just go where the content is. The HiFi segment is the entirety of VR early adopters right now, but I see them as a thin minority squeezed between those other groups in the endgame (motion averse and content focused).

Although fidelity has some virtuous cycles with content production. So there might be a strategy there for Facebook or Microsoft.
