It would look horrible, because the lighting was done assuming no global illumination.

Besides destroying artistic intent, the no-longer-missing indirect lighting effects would double up with all the "cheats" and clever techniques the artists had placed to make up for them.

You say it like it is that simple to fix; they could ask for photo in the curriculum and just discard the few that looks old, -after targeting job ads on pages that are disproportionaly "liked" by the age range they want-

The only true way to solve this is to force by law to hire older people (e.g. 30% of your workforce must be over 40); otherwise all this proxies like trying to regulate third-party ads and else its just an endless cat-and-mouse game.

I've only ever heard one person ever mention KLOC's, and they were in their 60's nearly a decade ago. They were explaining how people were using it as a measurement of work done in the 80's, and what a terrible idea it was to measure throughput that way.

You're the second person. When was the last time you encountered anyone using KLOC's (per 1k lines of code) as a measurement of work done? Are they working on mainframe codebases?

For a lot of them it seems that the more they vary from a Pi the harder it becomes to maintain a decent OS foundation. The Orange Pis and Pine64 boards are fairly well supported by Armbian (provided you are willing to live on the bleeding edge if you are running more recent chips like the Allwinner H5) but as you go further afield you have to be very comfortable doing OS builds yourself and a lot of the board features that look cool are only supported by an ancient and buggy vendor OS release.

Always check forums for the boards and your target OS to see what OS you can expect to run with any stability and do not assume it will ever get any better or be updated beyond where it is right now...
I suspect it was the ISPs who made the decision, not the manufacturers. Removing the common excuse of "my network is open, who knows who did it!" for torrenting may be the reason. Another could be to make open/easily accessible networks rarer as they started selling Wi-Fi via the provided routers.
Let's cut the bullshit. LiOn ageing is not unique to Apple. The problem is that their batteries are so horribly low powered (1800 mAh for iPhone 6s), especially for the price of the overall phone, that normal known ageing patterns would render the battery below spec of max power the iPhone draws at peak performance. It's BAD design.

Note 8 ships with 3300mah and iPhone X with 2700mah. Both cost a $1000. Which one do you think will last longer if 2500mah were the max power threshold?
There is a lot of independent analysis pointing at North Korea[0][1][2][3]

The infosec industry are extremely skeptical of attribution especially coming from government - it took a long time for a higher-certainty attribution to be established in the Sony and Bangladesh reserve bank cases, and there are still open cases of attribution in other incidents

Along with technical evidence, Wannacry also fits the North Korea m.o of financial incentive but also incentive to sow chaos[12], as well as how their attackers operate in Singapore and China and outsource some components.

On the contrary there is little to no evidence pointing anywhere else - meaning the second best probability of attribution for Wannacry is much further down the list.

The key difference there is that during the Iraq invasion there was zero corroborative evidence, the actual weapons inspectors said there was no evidence.

Further - the USA doesn't need a made-up pretext for war with North Korea. They're technically still at war and North Korea are in violation of UN Security Council resolutions and treaties (they routed around the UN for Iraq)

North Korea has sunk a ship[4], downed an airliner[5], attacked South Korean islands[6], tested nuclear weapons, developed a missile program, fired across the DMZ[7] (as recently again as today[8]), assassinated foreigners on foreign soil[9], been caught attempting to sell weapons of mass destruction[10], sold arms to Syria and others in violation of sanctions[11] and more. Either one of those is a stronger and not made-up pretext for an act of war - and one that would have much broader support than Iraq ever did.

Lack of profit focus is definitely something I see in junior devs of the higher quality kind. It's important to sell any prospective improvement to management in a way that makes money. Quality people can't see won't make money, and even quality they can see will only make money if there's a competitive market.
It's not a matter of code (though that, too, would be an enormous job). It would clash with what the artists have done.

Here's a random image from TS1: [1]

Look at Buzz's butt-- he has some yellowish up-lighting. That's because an artist placed a yellow light underneath him to fake the indirect light from the bedspread. If you turned on GI, the bedspread would cast its own yellow light, and it would look wrong because now his butt is glowing.

Not to mention that ambient occlusion would likely darken lots of things that weren't supposed to be dark in the original composition. Really, it would look totally broken and destroy the artistry.

Did the private railway operators purchase the land and build the railway too?
True. However, depending on the manner of licensing applicable to a given project, one might be forced comply with aspects of the protection a given license affords.

So then the choice leaves one working with intellectual property controlled by people who might ignore offers to improve their project, but in the same breath, demand attribution for the burden they inflict.

No, it actually is a ludicrous bet. No rational investor would ever make this investment. The absolute max value stands at less than a third of that. This sort of call only makes sense if it's designed to manipulate fools into a buy spree to supply liquidity to mask a massive cashout.

I know you've already solved this problem, but a few tips I've learned along the way in case you - or anyone else - runs into this problem again:

If only Bash worked then you can use Bash's builtin TCP/IP stack[1][2] to transfer data (inc files)[1][2]

[2] http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/more-using-bashs-built-d...

This is how I got around a similar problem as yourself regarding needing to get a file on a system which was severely locked down.

Also you can get around the `chmod +x` problem by calling ld directly[3]

Care to elaborate?
What do you base the "absolute max value" on?
It's simple voltage/current measurements. An iPhone 6s might start off with an effective capacity of 1800mah, that reduces to, say 1250mah in 2 years. If your iPhone requires 1350mah for peak performance, you're out of luck

Hello! I work at Stripe and helped with some aspects of the Kubernetes cron stuff -- maybe these answers can be helpful.

I think that's sort of implied -- complex technical projects have a risk of unexpected roadblocks, and it's important that "stop and roll back" always be on the list of options. Never burn your ships.

We invested a (proportionally) large amount of engineering effort to ensure we had the ability to move the whole shebang back to Chronos ~immediately. As noted in the article, we exercised this rollback feature several times when particular cronjobs deviated from expected behavior when run in Kubernetes.

This is the same basic model as disto-specific patches to the Linux kernel.

Every engineering organization reaches the point where they want more features than are available in an existing platform. The most practical solutions for this are to launch a new platform ("Not Invented Here"), or contribute code upstream. The first option can provide better short-term outcomes, but is usually inferior on multi-year timescales.

Consider that with a mature build infrastructure, internal builds are actually the latest stable release plus cherry-picked patches. This provides the best of all worlds -- an upstream foundation, with bug fixes on our schedule, and an eventually-consistent contribution to the community.

There's already an app that I know of that does that - or at least close enough. Blendle is an app where you pay per article you read, paid through your in-app account. My uncle uses it to selectively read articles from some large publications.

I think one downside is that those publications don't let you sign in on their systems, so you have to rely on the availability of the articles through a third-party. I agree that it would be great to have publications allow you to sign in through a third party system instead of their own. Maybe we can hope for one in the future?
That's a hack though. Also, how do you do stuff like giving out "upgrade discounts" or discount vouchers? That's not possible at all.
I hate to tell you this but you're looking in the mirror at your future self (and your peers) as coding isn't usually in most cases a healthy lifestyle choice.

Ops point was that old movies could just be rerendered and quality would improve dramatically, and i disagreed. Of course, if you put in a lot of work and rework the entire lighting model and other things, you can improve quality a lot, but that wasn't the point.

I'm very curious what would have happen if Apple had bought Be instead.

On one hand it was a much modern OS because build from scratch in the 90's rather based one the good old Unix, on the other hand OSX being Unix is probably why so many software developers flocked to the mac.
And probably why Uber gets it wrong. Bunch of engineers thinking their laws are the laws everywhere. It's good they're figuring this out now before self driving cards become really common as road laws vary so much even between cities and time of day...

Do they care if a year down the road your maintenance costs increase fivefold? Have they seen the analysis which shows that initial development cost just makes a small fraction of the total cost and that fraction get smaller the longer software is in use?

That counterintuitive (and probably not eternal) relative dependability through lack of a backing asset or functionality is something I have noticed as well. It is easier to explain when comparing bitcoin to the situation when company shares are used as the token in a game of greater fool: there, a business event like a bad quarter (or even a good quarter, tainted by even more optimistic predictions) can be enough to make the music stop. Bitcoin does not have these event sources, but a crypto token with a well defined application or function would. The application would just reintroduce an apparently unnecessary source of bad news.

Bitcoin was initially pitched with an application function as well, paying for services and goods (and, depending on who you asked, sometimes even "anonymous" would somehow sneak into the argument). The "beauty" is that in terms of that metric, bitcoin already has failed, that particular event source has been drained dry. The conversion rate has somehow survived the switch from bootstrapping via proposed use as payment to pure pyramid, but I doubt that this can be replicated.
Better to put the effort into a new show, say TS4, that's intended from the beginning to take advantage of the new tech. ;-)

Could it be argued that crypto has intrinsic value in it's ability to hide from these tax liabilities? I've seen Bitcoin, and other crypto-currencies, compared to the off-shore tax evasion market, as it seems to be able to fulfil much the same purpose.

Of course, Bitcoin as a vehicle for tax evasion isn't a good brand, unless you're very libertarian.

Linux 'winning' on mobile has nothing to do with Apple doing anything at all. It 'won' mostly because it was chosen as the base for Android as well as several other mobile platforms (Intel's Moblin, Nokia's Maemo, the combined offspring called Meego, Samsung's Tizen, etc). Android 'won' for the same reason that Windows 'won', it was available for all to use in more or less any way they saw fit. The carriers had nothing to do with Android 'winning', that is mostly due to the availability of affordable unlocked devices from a multitude of sources, a market which Apple can not and does not want to touch as the profit margins and opportunities for lock-in are too low.

Two things could've made this situation better.

1. Make the damn battery user replaceable! If you know it is depleting resource and you designed the phone to last longer, this should be the case.

2. Be transparent to the user. Show in Battery Settings how the battery is doing and whether or not the OS is throttling itself.

There is a third one, put in a bigger battery. I think Tesla does this with Model S. Be nice to customers.
