Absolutely, yes. Or the optimization landscape suddenly changes. I had a super-cool trick for doing state transitions in a DFA at the rate of the throughput of a shuffle instruction rather than at the rate of the latency of a shuffle instruction, and smugly congratulated myself about how well it worked on Ivy Bridge (latency = 1, reciprocal throughput = 0.5). Then Haswell came along and took over the second shuffle capability to do 256-bit shuffles (latency = 1, throughput = 1). So the clever trick went obsolete overnight. :-(
not really. email and list serves are somewhat 'dead'. they are distributed in chunky dumps only every so many hours. bbses are closer to what engage people. conversations are updated in a more granular fashion with a greater respect for timeliness. the point i was making is the current existence of a turn-key box that could be the building block of a publicly administered peer to peer network. the power of peer pressure is not to be underestimated. even my son who is a software engineer, knowledgeable about android, hacks his pixel , etc is moving to an iPhone because he has many friends - not software savvy - who are all on iPhones and iMessage each other , FaceTime themselves, etc. The magic can happen with A box that you can turn on and simply click an 'install' button that gets a peer to peer chat app that runs in a sandbox, shares some of your NAS space, is always on - A hooli box to make a new internet

I think to describe this as innuendo is not entirely fair.

It's all there in public, easy to track down if you want to.

I /really/ don't want to summarise it because without a complete understanding of it I will be unfair to someone. It was big and controversial and resulted in serious schisms in the Gnome dev community. Nat and Miguel's company Ximian was bought by Novell who had a software patent deal with microsoft. There was a lot of trepidation over mono because of microsoft's software patents. Miguel de Icaza founded gnome and had those halos. Ximian employed many prominent gnome developers. My understanding is that mono is now not a dependency of Gnome and there was a reasonable amount of rancour about it.

If I post links I'm tacitly endorsing their analysis - which I don't want to do.

With the knowledge that Nat and Miguel essentially spoke as one from being joint founders of Ximian and there wasn't any dissent from other Ximian/Novell employees, useful search strings might something like:

"gnome mono controversy"

"gnome mono patents"

"redhat gnome mono"

I'd also suggest looking for prominent gnome developers from those days and see what they wrote about it in blogs and mailing lists and so on. I think it's entirely reasonable to check someone's reputation, especially when they advance it. The fact that you can and it might well check out as honest, solid, trustworthy and that they are a person of integrity is really, positive. Please note how careful I am being to refrain from besmirching anyone's reputation here.

It was easy to work out what to click and what doesn’t do anything.

Buttons that don't look like buttons but more like static text are a "modern" and irritating trend, but a while ago I had to use a web application which somehow managed to show all 4 combinations of "button-ness": it had buttons which looked like buttons, buttons which didn't look like buttons but static text, static text which looked like static text, and most WTF-inducing, static text which looked like buttons.

It really boggles the mind to wonder who/what decided on that, since making non-clickable text look like buttons --- complete with text that was also suitably ambiguous, e.g. "Remove" --- is something that I've never seen a rationale for.

The irony is, while it could be argued that you can mouse over controls in a web app to see whether they're clickable, this flat UI trend came from touchscreen mobile devices where "mouse over" just isn't a thing!

AWS reacted to Google's (GCP's) success (Kubernetes), by trying to build a competitor, leveraging its market leadership position. A strategy which was very unlikely to succeed, from the get go.

Unfortunately for AWS, current market domination doesn't help much in this case. It cannot be solved by yet another two-pizzas team.

I believe that AWS is trying to fight (or downplay) the scenario in which, in a few years, when a lot of containerized workloads will be in production, GCP will be a force to deal with.

That's it. Plain and simple. My 0.02.

(disclaimer: I worked at AWS from 2008 to 2014 as tech evangelist, and I spearheaded the VMware+GCP partnership in 2015-2016 when I was vCloud Air's CTO at VMware - opinions here are my own, and are not based on any confidential information).

Ditto. A colleague called into question an off the top of my head estimate. A 2 day estimate and tried squeezing me to cut it down more... For work I wouldn't even be doing. Nope. Not going to do it.

Needless to say the conversation didn't end on a good note. Live and learn. We'll talk it out tomorrow. A quick way to lose trust and respect is implying incompetency and squeezing/trying to manipulate people. Really kinda pissed at him right now.

It would be vital to know what made MS change their stance against Open Source in general and Linux in particular; if it was "we can't beat them directly, so let's destroy them by faking an alliance, possibly gaining also control from the inside" (hint: Linux Foundation platinum membership) then we still have every reason to remain skeptic.

Github and Github Enterprise also fail to provide this view. They do provide a compare view for the triple-dot notation (git diff <commit1>...<commit2>) which actually compares the merge-base of commit1 and commit2 with commit2. It's not possible to do the equivalent of git diff commit1..commit2 in the web interface.

Conversation with Serhii Plokhy, author of a book on the Chenorbyl disaster
> "The latter works much, much better at generating sales for almost everyone."

This seems like an extraordinary claim that would require extraordinary statistical evidence to believe it. Both evidence to ensure the methodology of comparing whatever Facebook does with blank audience ad serving to whatever is done with lookalike audiences, as well as the "much, much better" part and the "almost everyone" part.

For example, with Google and Facebook controlling so much of all advertising traffic, it could easily be the case that 'blank audience' ad purchasing (which is less in Facebook's interest, since it doesn't help highlight their specialized data products) are directed towards users with less likelihood to engage to begin with, regardless of algorithmic profile or interests.

Do we have any knowledge of the precise differences of the two treatments (blank vs. digital lookalike)? If not, how could we even begin to attribute success seen in the 'lookalike' category to any value-add from Facebook? As opposed to possibly gaming the different user groups to make such an A/B test always tilt in their favor.
And by far the most unfounded fear. As others have said MS has tons of their own apps using electron, to kill it would be to shoot themselves in both arms.

I'd rather this over proprietary software that you simply cannot verify what it does, to be fair. There's nothing inherently wrong with proprietary licensing, IMHO, so being able to be clear about what's in it is nice.

That accusation is possible even with code that's been decompiled, so it's not really any different: A legal claim still requires some sort of proof.

Thanks. We agree that there is definitely a promising market in those fields, too.
There are five entities involved:

1. Alice, who has knowledge of her transfer

2. Me, who has knowledge of both transfers

3. My bank, which has knowledge of both transfers

4. Bob's bank, which has knowledge of both transfers

5. Bob, who has knowledge of my transfer

The question is, whom does Alice trust? If she trusts me, my bank, or Bob's bank, then you don't need any more proof. You just need a statement from any of those entities that documents the transfers.

If she trusts Bob, then her knowledge of her own transfer can be combined with Bob's knowledge of his transfer, and she can put those together.

In real life, the only way to prove anything to Alice without Bob's knowledge of Alice would be to use #3, my bank. This would require that the bank can produce proof that Alice trusts that includes both the sending account (mine) and receiving account (Bob's).

PHP cops a lot of heat - some deserved, but mostly not - largely based on limitations of previous versions, cosmetic issues like the crummy naming and argument ordering in the stdlib, and good old fashioned out-grouping, but it has had optional graduated type safety for many, many years.

Jetbrains IDEs are all fantastic. I've considered switching to VS Code because I like its declarative configuration, but I'm too used to Jetbrains products to switch right now. Plus their database browser is excellent.

Edit: sorry, I missed the open-source requirement. But I stand by my recommendations. There just aren't that many great IDEs out there.

After some reading, I notice a discrepancy of GDPR articles stating that EEA is affected immediately, while from an EEA/EEA state point-of-view seem more concerned with EU-EEA agreements "to be concluded" and laws to be applied, just as you also implied.

I guess the GDPR alarmists has dulled my senses and I was expecting some kind of catch in this case. Cry wolf..

> Clang more or less explicitly aims to correctly compile the GNU dialect of C

That was super important as the compiler was first starting out, because (A) Apple's existing code was built with GCC, so it relied on GCC flags & extensions, and (B) for it to be a viable open source compiler, it needed to build large existing codebases which were already using GCC.

However, that doesn't mean that Clang will always continue to support every thing GCC does. Whether they by design or by accident, incompatibilities will arise. Of course, projects as tightly coupled to GCC as the Linux kernel might not care.
