If your not travelling for work, some credit cards come with lost baggage insurance too, especially "travel" cards and those with an annual fee. Check your credit card documents!

That being said, I believe, IIRC, the airlines are supposed to compensate you some amount when they lose your bag.

Fast, smooth, and had very robust development environment. One thing Microsoft knows how is to develop a language/platform (.net, for example), and provide tooling around that. 5 years ago, Visual Studio was years ahead of what today's mobile tools can do.
I disagree. This right was a natural guarantee until the internet became ubiquitous about 20 years ago. Human society evolved for a long time under the assumption that people are free to think out loud a bit or even openly express anger on occasion and then change their mind later. Isn't it possible that making that harder to do will lead to even more incorrect and entrenched viewpoints? I don't think it's just about con artists.

Maybe another approach to all this could be that, once you post, you can delete for a while shortly thereafter. But then your post goes into a period of extended residence on a site. Perhaps a year or something. After that residency period has expired, you're free to delete the post.
Magic Leap: Part 1: “The Magic Is Gone“ Glass Door Reviews
First of all, I owned four of the top line Windows Phones as the hardware progressed and have been an MS oriented dev/arch throughout my career.

I switched back to an iPhone when MS started playing with the email and calendar apps, making them horribly less useful. Around January of 2015. The 6 plus had just come out.

WP hardware was excellent until 2014 when it was clear MS had abandoned the platform. They fell behind quickly at that point.

I knew the Midwest MS evangelist and went to a couple of dev sessions on WP and the philosophy was to pump any garbage or duplicate app into the App Store. I argued they should spend money on the top 100 business apps and just make them better than iOS or Android. MS was never going to beat Apple at cheap games.

Buying Nokia looked good on the outside but it was clearly a disaster.

$6 billion could have enabled a ton of devs to build a ton of apps.

I was sad to see it go, but in the end, my iPhone never really gets in my way. I can email, message, call, and surf the web plus have a few other handy apps that just work.

I hope you’re kidding with the dev environment thing. WP died because they changed everything completely with every OS release.

Not to mention that to develop an app they required you to have Hyper-V, which is only available in Pro editions of Windows and CPUs with VT-x.
Personal attacks aren't ok here. Whatever substantive point you want to make, I'm sure you can make it thoughtfully and without stooping to this if you want to.

The biggest one I would say is "context".

It would be nice to avoid repetition in a controlled manner by having some context.

This would make it less tedious having to pass the same arguments to a function over and over again. For example let's say in a web application once you authenticate the user.

In the code that follows you could somehow tell it "by 'user' we mean the current user, by 'query' we mean query the database using the current database connection".

Effectively this would be similar to a transparent auto-wired dependency injection.

The biggest mismatch between human and computer langauges is that we as humans are very context aware.

And the computers are at the other end of the spectrum. Between two different function calls they don't remember or assume anything so we have to keep repeatedly passing stuff to them, what's obvious to us. Which itself increases the bugs because it's a lot easier to make a mistake when you are doing something repetitive 50 times, as opposed to declaring it right once somewhere.

Other useful ones could be having some expressions that are not strictly binary or function calls.

And the ability to define these for custom types.

For example "user is administrator", "1001 (is|is not) palindrome", "100 is divisible by at least 2 of [1, 10, 50]".

Another one, accessing attributes/fields, "firstName of user", "factors of 100", "favoritePosts of user".

Tests about attributes/fields, "if user has twoFactorAuthentication".

Another one, more "space freindly" languages. So you could do "let the thing we are printing := 'test';".

Now let me say I'm fully aware most of what I have said is very difficult if not impossible.

The problem is language complexity and parsing and also composition. The examples I have made don't really hold up in general cases or compose well so it's hard to fit them in general purpose languages.

If we were using projectional structure editors they would be much much easier to achieve. Because we wouldn't have to deal with language rules like that. You could render the program structure in a human friendly way without forcing the computer to parse and understand the same thing.

One of the biggest bottlenecks with programming languages today is that humans and computers are sharing a text based language with each other. And as a result we have to compromise on it to achieve a balance where it's easy enough for the computer to parse and understand and easy enough for humans to read and write.

If we could separate the two we could optimise the languages for ourselves and let the computers use something much more precise and unambigious like binary under the hood that makes them happy.

All much easier said than done.

That's because the module is the isolation boundary in Rust, generally. So for maximum safety, getting the unsafe code into a smaller module and then re-exporting only its safe interface is the way to go.

There's a lot of work being done on that front, primarily in the form of inducing an immune response to cancer.

This work is being done in "allopathic" medical schools and hospitals and in biology labs that are the source of most allopathic medicine.

If this work succeeds, it might lead to a cancer vaccine: the kind of treatment sometimes opposed by homeopaths and naturopaths.
From what I understand, the main problem is getting the signal form individual neurons, and getting a large number of those distinct signals. I don't think there are any non-invasive methods to do that, and no one wants to do a brain surgery on a healthy brain to implant a large electrode array.

> Makes you wonder what would happen if Google pulled all of their iOS apps tomorrow, and then blocked third parties/diminished the mobile browser experience on purpose.

There is a reason Google paid close to 3 billon USD to stay the default search provider on iOS. They had several opportunities to pull their apps from the platform, but they never did. It’s not random. They acknowledge that Apple is not in direct competitior as far as their core business is concerned — unlike Microsoft. They can still be the primary search provider on iOS, but Microsoft would never let that happen on Windows Phone/Mobile thanks to Bing. In fact, there was no way to set the search engine to Google in Edge for a while - and the OS wide search never offered a choice.

Allowing Windows Phone/Mobile to flourish would have meant allowing Bing to grow - something Google can’t afford. As long as Apple doesn’t become a threat to their core business, I don’t think they are going to pull their apps. And even if they do, iOS has become too big to die like Windows Phone/Mobile.

And let’s not forget, the organisations charged with preventing monopoly will slap Google with antitrust lawsuits all over the world.
I hired one person at my last job from that thread, but also got about 40 bad responses. This was from one posting in one month. The job was specifically for a senior UI engineer, but most responses were junior or intern-level candidates in other areas (back-end, ML, etc.). Many were persistent in telling me how good of candidates they are, sending me multiple e-mails a week even after explaining to them that they're not what we're hiring for right now. One randomly accused us of ageism when we rejected him after the recruiter phone screen.

Further, I'm just an engineer and don't know our specific salary bands. Unfortunately there's a trend lately of downvoting every post that doesn't have a salary.

The signal to noise ratio was way too low for me. I definitely wouldn't post there again.
Sure, you're right, but is it helpful to be so pedantic about it?
I don't know why I never got a WP phone. I knew it has a lot of benefits in terms of UX. But somehow I feared MS way of doing software more than Google. So even if they provided lots of stuff I wouldn't be attracted to their phones.

Did FB really think it was going to remain a secret? "Unsending" messages that have already been read by the recipient is difficult to hide, and especially when you're the CEO of FB one of those past recipients is going to pick up on it pretty quickly.

> It shouldn't be in there and even if it is it doesn't make it right. Your boss owns your time when he pays for it. If you're not being compensated for your time you are off-work and there is nothing so much off-work as a cheerleader having dinner.

What if your boss pays for it in other ways? Like bad publicity and exposure to his company, or movie or TV show, or NFL team? If the "can you hear me now" Verizon guy, who now works for Sprint, was seen in public wearing an AT&T shirt, should he not be allowed to be fired because that poorly represents his employer, Sprint?

> Sounds like a lot of fluff people would tell someone to accept a job with a shitty wage, crappy contract and no life of your own.

You do realize that cheerleading jobs are part time and that tons and tons of women audition in the hopes of becoming an NFL cheerleader. Which is why they get paid a base salary of not much more than minimum wage.

I love the game, but the league is despicable so with every season I watch less and less. At some point, I may stop altogether. I don't buy gear and would lead a campaign if my city even thought about bringing in a team and wasting public money on a stadium. The states looking to ban tackle football for young kids are on the right track. This should be pushed nationally. It's the only way to start bringing down this awful organization. If this went national, I can see the nfl fading in a generation or two. Parents can, of course, do their parental duties and keep their kids out of this sport till they're 18. Really, at this point, CPS should be handling the cases where parents fail. CTE is a horrible "gift" to give to kids. But the dumb masses will take a lot longer to change without new regulations and in the meantime, a few will make millions and millions will get CTE playing for teams whose owners' ideals belong on a slave plantation, not in the modern world. I'll miss it a little, but not much, because these same owners' idiotic policies on broadcasting mean seeing the games of interest most Sundays is an outrageously expensive or impossible proposition.
It's a good effort, but it is lacking in many places. For example OS does not list FreeBSD and many other alternatives that still exist on the market. And "Linux" is not an OS, it is a kernel (and you even refer to it as such) so you'd rather talk about distributions of Linux as full OS replacements (Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE, Solus, etc...).

On top of that, some alternatives require significant efforts to set up and you should order them by technical level and resources required.

You should also include the license of each solution proposed.

Pretty much along your line of thinking, check out this 2003 paper by Crista Lopes titled "Beyond AOP: Toward Naturalistic Programming":

http://www.dourish.com/publications/2003/oopsla2003-naturali...

Abstract:

> Software understanding for documentation, maintenance or evolution is one of the longest-standing problems in Computer Science. The use of “high-level” programming paradigms and object-oriented languages helps, but fundamentally remains far from solving the problem. Most programming languages and systems have fallen prey to the assumption that they are supposed to capture idealized models of computation inspired by deceptively simple metaphors such as objects and mathematical functions. Aspect-oriented programming languages have made a significant breakthrough by noticing that, in many situations, humans think and describe in crosscutting terms. In this paper we suggest that the next breakthrough would require looking even closer to the way humans have been thinking and describing complex systems for thousand of years using natural languages. While natural languages themselves are not appropriate for programming, they contain a number of elements that make descriptions concise, effective and understandable. In particular, natural languages referentiality is a key factor in supporting powerful program organizations that can be easier understood by humans.

We can state a lot of things in first order logic about natural numbers or set theory which are not provable (in some given set of axioms like Peano axioms or ZFC, you can extend the axiom set but then one can generate a new unprovable statement if not a contradiction).

The issue here is first order logic is complete for statements that are true for all models of the axioms. As an example, imagine a infinite land which cant be completely described by any computable map(a programmable set of facts about the territory). The map will only tell you some true things about the territory.

But we can say this - if there is some statement that the map cant decide, then there are two different territories for both of which the map is accurate, and the statement is true for one territory and false for another. So the deductive system is complete description of true statements which hold for all territories for which the map applies.

But if we are interested in a single given territory, no computable system of facts suffices. For example deciding whether a diophantine equation has solutions in the standard set of Natural Numbers or a more familiar example for this site, whether a program halts. No computable deductive system(ie there is a program which generates all deductions) will suffice.

So - I realize this might be an unpopular opinion, and I'm certainly no fan of the current administration, but this is an extremely benign project.

I spent a couple of years running product at a social monitoring company, and these kinds of RFPs are pro forma for industry and especially the government.

Basically, they're looking for a clipping service that includes sentiment analysis and influencer scoring so that they can know who to reach out to and when a negative (or positive!) article is published. They will then collate these reports and hand them up to their management to assess the current state of perceptions of the DHS on projects and initiatives.

The software companies that do this all have a combo of crawlers, RSS readers, and purchased feeds of articles. Those articles get fed through a homegrown or third-party text processing system that extracts the author info, date of publication, and the keywords and sentiment of the article. Then there's a basic visualization system that lets you build reports.

Everyone does this. Every brand, government agency, trade publication, everyone. It's pretty standard. Reading through the RFP I can even guess who's going to compete, though I think no one is going to offer what they're looking for in total.

All this to say, this is a non-event.
