I agree with you until the WP part. WP was always destined to be a failure in the context of that time. It didn't matter that Microsoft paid Nokia billions, because you can't fix everything by throwing more money at the problem. Microsoft learned that the hard way with its investments in the app stores, too, and in other markets, too.

People who followed the ecosystems very closely then knew that even Android was lucky to see the success it did against iOS, and that success was almost exclusively due to the fact that "it was there first" to allow the OEMs to unite against iOS as an ecosystem. But even that wasn't easy at all and the fans had to suffer through ~4 years of Android phones being "close, but no cigar" compared to the iPhone. This is why WP had no way of winning a significant portion of the market being multiple years behind in development, interest, and ecosystem.

If the roles had been reversed for WP and Android, and WP launched in 2008 and Android in 2011-2012, I don't think Android would've seen too much success either, even though it would be open source. Maybe it would've gotten like 20% of the market if Google played its cards right, but I think WP would have dominated.

But yes, the time to shine for Meego (Maemo actually) was immediately after they announced it. However, it was obvious the leadership didn't want to "rock the boat" for the Symbian cash cow. By the time they had to pick between WP and Android, it was of course way too late for Meego.
Literally who do you think they could cite? Who else apart from Facebook knows what people on Facebook search for? You can't cite someone else for data you have collected yourself. At some point the chain of citations needs to start with someone presenting some data. We can't all endlessly cite each other in a big chain.

Do you reject all new collected data because it doesn't come with a citation?

Even in the presence of Hawking radiation, this statement is not correct. An observer falling in would fall right through the horizon and be destroyed in the singularity; then, much, much later (something like 10^70 years for a black hole of 10 solar masses), the hole would be fully evaporated away by Hawking radiation and some of the light rays in that outgoing Hawking radiation would carry information about the observer falling through the horizon 10^70 years before.
Didn't blockchain.info used to display little spam messages next to each transaction? I used to see a lot of those. Maybe the spam software hasn't been updated yet.
> The secondary part is that they requested mass revocation of active certificates, including from brands such as RapidSSL which were not being browser distrusted AFAIK (even though some others were.. if I need to be corrected on this please let me know).

To my knowledge all CAs under Symantec's control, including RapidSSL, are affected[1], with only a handful of exceptions for cross-signed intermediates where Symantec was not under control of issuance. IIRC they belong to Apple and Google (and maybe a few others).

One of the awesome things about our products is that people care deeply about them. There is one thing, in particular, I want to address.

'If Elastic were truly committed to transparency, they would release the terms of their new Eula immediately...'

We are working on it. This change is not one that was taken lightly and we have to ensure we have the right language for when we do release the license, etc. We will put it online as soon as we are able.

We are committed to transparency and, also, we are committed to our users.

Yes, we are asking for a fair bit of trust...and I hope we continue to prove ourselves worthy of that trust.

Our economy wants for everyone to have their own place. Companies lose sales if multi-generations share items. Look at advertisements and you'll see them emphasize the 1 generation home.

It wasn't always that way. The 20th-century economy and advertisement brought that to fruition.

We don't give the adman enough credit for the shape of our society. Advertisements are very powerful in shaping how we live but they only care about profits, not the overall impact.
> Does a photon have mass?

It has zero rest mass, but a photon is never at rest. Photons have energy, and anything that has energy is subject to gravity in general relativity.

Shelburne Winery in Vermont makes a reasonable one. With hybrids, you're always fighting acidity and low tannins, so the wine maker really needs to be excellent. They are not forgiving grapes, and because they are often pitched as cheaper bulk grapes (because they are easier to grow) they are often made into low quality cheap country wines, sweet wines, etc. Which gives them an even worse reputation.
As a senior engineer, I'd recommend not thinking about a "political game" most of the time.

Focus on demonstrable, measurable impact for your company's customers in the area that your team focuses on. If you do that, then you'll find that you're aligned with your boss and your boss's boss pretty much all the time.

You can argue for what you believe when you have data to back you up. If not, respect the judgment of your superiors. Figure out what your management chain wants to accomplish and then find the best measurable way to accomplish it. If you don't know. Ask.

Remember that the game is a long game. Software Development is unusual because many people expect to be "senior" 3-5 years out of college. In other fields, that will barely get you out of an apprenticeship.

I think about it this way:

1. Not all effort is equally valuable.

2. Not all value is equally visible/measureable

3. Not all value is equally aligned with your team/company's priorities

Find what efforts produce the most value that can be measured, in alignment with your company's priorities.

Usually when engineers feel like they have to "play the political game", they fall into one of these traps:

1. They are doing work that isn't actually valuable (e.g. an unprompted huge refactoring)

2. They are doing valuable work that is hard to measure (e.g. adding tests to a codebase without a plan to demonstrate improved developer velocity and/or product quality)

3. They are doing valuable, measurable work towards the wrong goals (e.g. building product-wide localization support without the company intending to localize their content)
She doesn't give them the prescription. Sorry I should have mentioned that in my previous reply.

I see no way in which this "leaves your computer at their mercy" more than any other process of purposefully executing code they control on your system.

Thanks for this! It's nice to see more tools out there for advanced language learners because, like the article states, it sure is a long slog isn't it. I especially am happy to see that this app adds the Lemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma_(morphology) of the new vocabulary to the spaced-repetition flashcards rather than the particular form it appears in on the page. That has taken up a lot of my time with other similar apps.

The short answer is no, because I don't know enough about those languages to deliver a valuable experience.

I think the value from Langliter comes from two areas:

1. The NLP processing and tooling built on top of that processing
2. Its superior mobile experience

If I just used a simple form of tokenization, I think I could very quickly deliver a superior mobile experience than what is currently available from similar apps. However, I'm not sure if PoS tagging and some of the other techniques I'm using translate to those languages or if they do, how much value they'd add to the learning process.

But it's something I'll certainly revisit if the app ends up being popular and I have the resources to do it properly.

People need enough to not feel, or be, materially insecure. It's somewhat subjective (I might have high demands with regards to caviar and champagne) but usually not (groceries, roof, education, doctor).

What's interesting is that there's no mainstream concept for not-materially-insecure. Perhaps, if there were, it would turn into a demand by the population. And we can't have that.
Luckily my friend group has slowly migrated away from FB Messenger thanks to the battery life impact (substantial, in our experience) and hamfisting of Stories/Ads into the app.

From a Bayesian point of view randomness is always merely a lack of knowledge. In that sense there's no problem with viewing the outcome of a deterministic process as something random.

Viewed from that perspective what this p-value means is that merely knowing the proportion of articles that gets marked for deletion is already enough to conclude that it is likely (or at least not impossible) for a group of 21 articles to have at least 2 articles marked for deletion. In that sense the knowledge that of the 21 articles written on women, 2 were marked for deletion doesn't really tell us something that we didn't already know.

Of course that doesn't mean we've exhausted all available knowledge, but you're going to have to look further than just how many articles get deleted.

> Try telling 3D modellers/sculptors, games programmers, audio engineers that 90% of their computer use has moved into a browser. They will look at you with a blank face since they all require traditional "fat" desktop apps to get their work done at professional level.

I'm talking about overall computer use. For certain professional fields, yes, apps still matter. But I'd take a guess that the majority of screen time with computers now days involves a web browser.

Heck as a programmer (not web), I am probably 50% in browser looking things up.

At most offices, computers are used for web browsing, and Microsoft Office.
I'd prefer it if the writer of the shell or make didn't make too many assumptions about my assumptions.

Even bash lets you escape unusual filenames for when you need them. Make will always explode your strings, and doesn't even attempt to let you escape them. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a time-tested Unix tool dealing with files to actually handle all possible files.

Which version of GnuPG are you using?

(BTW re "AFAIK it does store the keys encrypted though," I'd be cautious about relying on that encryption. The keyspace for PINs is tiny and trivially brute-forceable. And if you choose to use a strong passphrase for your Gnuk token that is capable of resisting brute force, you're giving up one of the main usability benefits of committing a secret to a hardware token. I know they're working on something called KDF-DO that might offload key stretching to the host, but it's still going to be the case that PINs will be brute-forceable.)

Joking aside, I guess as a person with such amazing credentials, making $20k+ per month for you should be a cakewalk. By American standard it should be a decent mount of money to raise family with kids. But if you want to travel the world, eradicate poverty, leaving trust fund for kids then yes the number can be stretched infinitely. As a married person with kids I would be very happy making the amount of money you have mentioned passively.
Indeed. But there were 0 humans during most of Earth's history, so it's not really a relevant point. The entire Mississippi valley used to be under a shallow sea, but this is also an irrelevant fact for the Quaternary Period.

An argument is that it's not "socially constructed", but is imposed on peoples by the hegemone entity. Most nations today in existence were established by monarchic or oligarchic regimes, and did not represent at the time of constitution the ethnic-geographic situations where they were founded. Examples: Italy, Spain, Turkey, most Middle Eastern states, etc. Most nations had a phase of "We made the nation, now we need to make the nationals" work.
While a poor solution for programming or word processing where input speed is vital, very useful for music, photo and video processing as they are reliant on contextual functions and emulating real-world interfaces.

You could possibly make it quite good for spreadsheets as they're somewhere in the middle between data input (where touchscreen as an input method is slower and frustrating) and function selection/formatting (where, depending on the context of what you're doing, all of the functions you require are suddenly at your fingertips rather than buried somewhere on a ribbon or sub menu).
Pretty much this. Lack of interest/willingness to invest aggressively from the CEO, even though Maemo looked quite promising when announced.

Meego was a distraction and pretty much a mistake. I think it was mainly pushed by Intel so they have a reason to sell Atom. People may not remember but before "netbooks" Atom was supposed to go into Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), which were much smaller than netbooks but larger than smartphones.

Netbooks pretty much came out as a "trial and error" device from PC manufacturers, who were failing with MIDs. If I remember right, Microsoft also had to extend selling new XP licenses post-Windows 7 launch, because of the netbook popularity, and because it didn't want Linux to become popular on them.

I don't believe it's that absolute. Senior enough engineers do have opportunities to transfer themselves onto research teams particularly if there's an intent of it being applied and there are papers and patents coming from the less research-dedicated side of things.

I do agree that the first name is almost always a PhD but that's also more of a systemic prejudice against those without the diploma than an actual indication of capability or dedication.

One devout partner implored me to stop meditating (during my Zen & Buddha kick) because she didn't want me to succumb to Satan.

Do yourself a big favour, and make your credit numbers locale-aware. Many (most? not sure) people are going to assume (like I did) that $9.99 would get me 10 credits, because "." is a decimal point in my locale.

I almost closed the page at that stage because $1 per page scraped seemed very greedy, and it wasn't until I saw the Expert plan with it's "1 million" that I realised that 10.000 = ten thousand.

Maybe use the SI convention of spaces: 10 000.

I love Tup, and have used it in production builds. It is the optimal solution for the problem that it solves, viz, a deterministic file-based build describable with static rules. To start using it, you probably have to "clean up" your existing build.

I don't use it anymore, for several reasons. One is that it would be too off-the-wall for my current work environment. The deeper reason is that it demands a very static view of the world. What I really want is not fast incremental builds, but a live programming environment. We're building custom tooling for that (using tsserver), and it's been very interesting. It's challenging, but one tradeoff is that you don't really care how long a build takes, incremental or otherwise.
