There are downsides to MS owning Github, but Google is in a whole separate universe of Evil.

So the answer is: Move out, don't hesitate, and if there's no other viable choice, yes, move back to Gitgub.

But isn't it easier for AMD to close the gap due to their multiple dies on a package design instead of a large monolithic design like Intel? If they make the cores larger the cost for the entire CPU doesn't increase as much as Intels.

Even though Zen+ (cache optimization) is probably not as much of a improvement as Zen2 ("improves Zen in multiple dimensions") over Zen will be, the single threaded gap did shrink quite a bit:

But I guess some of these improvements come also from the faster memory that is supported. The benchmarks sadly were not made with the same memory.

Especially considering that approx. 90% of the volume of crypto exchanges -with the exception of U.S exchanges- (therefore Binance included) is what's commonly referred to as "wash trading". I'd estimate Binance's 1Y EBTDA to be $100M at best, but I suspect it's way lower.
It is telling that the defining book of the decade on tech startups—Zero to One was a runaway best-seller in China but didn't even sell 50,000 copies in India.

> Without open sourcing Windows and Office?

One can be serious about an approach without total commitment, but total commitment is the path that removes the most doubt.

From another angle: MS' current use of open source seems motivated by the desire to appeal to developers. They can be entirely serious about that as a strategy. However, that's distinct from embracing open source because they believe in that methodology. Is new stuff from MS developed in the open from the start, by default? Until that happens, they're just playing with the toys, not committing to the cause.

Nothing which a normal 'non microsoft' developer would profit from. Even their contributions to Linux were mostly about running Windows on Linux and the other way around. Nothing a non Microsoft dev would even care about.

Right but because they're otherwise decentralised it would take co-ordinated effort and ultimately it fragments the community. What we need, if we want to solve this issue, is a federated network of servers which provide the functionality of github today.

> In many ways, the radare2 plugin architecture is far superior to IDAs, and I hope this project can start to bridge the gap between functionality and ease-of-use.

I think one of the most difficult things for me with r2 is that there is no stable API and minimal detection for the internal stuff. If you're merely working on top of well supported architectures (e.g. arm, x86) you're probably going to do just fine with the "pipe" interface.

However, for more advanced features (e.g. new architectures) it's less fun. For instance, when the python bindings break the general response is "fix it yourself and submit a pull request because we don't want to maintain python bindings". Which would be great if the APIs weren't a constantly moving target.

The lack of clear documentation hurts the APIs themselves as it's not necessarily clear which parts are deprecated and which represent best practices. Hopefully with the growing community we'll see some of the cruft get cleaned up.
relax. i don’t care about a billion dollar corporation. what i care about is hive mentality, particularly in the tech world, which is what i was obviously getting at. facebook is one of the most evil corporations around, yet people are more than happy to use the tech they release. and apple and google get constant passes for shit they do or don’t do that people would lose their minds over if microsoft did it. so it’s not that it is unfair to microsoft. it’s that people have tunnel vision and turn a blind eye.

so the point is: no free lunches. apply criticism equally and without bias.

I always wondered whether code signed deployment is not compliant with LGPL and where the threshold lies.

Specifically, if forcing to sign a package with a different key (making it a different package) for private purposes is enough, or if the redistribution rights of the whole is required.
Finally, if you cannot replace the software because of code signing and no public debug mode, that seems incompatible too...

It could even give you freedom to fly within your "lane" if you wanted the thrill of bio feedback.

In more remote areas it could give you more freedom to fly yourself.

The flip side is that on average my Indian friends are also the politest people that I know, which makes me realize it's really a lost quality.
A company will outsource because it’s cheaper, in the short term at least. But an outsourcer runs on billable hours, so they are disincentivised to automate repetitive tasks.

So here’s the new competition: outsourcer who can do the job for 1/10th the cost, or In-house engineers with advanced automation who can do 100x the work at the same cost.

It’s not about West vs India, it’s about business models.

Australia is in the unique position of having abundant reserves of gas, coal and uranium but through what is probably blatant corruption the most expensive power prices in the world.

The gas is exported at a fixed cost to Japan and other countries where it can be resold to Australians at a profit.

Other issues are that no power company in Australia is willing to build a new coal power plant because the current coal subsidies are likely to go away with a change in government. The current government is very much pro coal. To illustrate how bad this is the current government Treasurer brought a lump of coal into sitting parliament and was waving it around showing how non dangerous it is. The coal lobbies are very strong and are running out of export options.

Australia is in this position due to a lack of bipartisan support towards any energy policy. Its also a problem because the power networks have been privatized and the incentives were set to guarantee returns on building infrastructure. The network as such is gold plated but the power it carries is very expensive.

While gas should be the answer to the network shortfalls there was a massive profit incentive to not do so initially wait for the spot prices to surge and then jump in and collect massive paychecks.

The result is that people installed solar. Which caused the electricity companies to raise prices which lead to more solar installs. The companies here are in a death spiral. They are insanely profitable right now, but the writing is on the wall.

However companies such as Tesla installed a massive battery to counter some of the issues and that project after 6 months is almost about to pay for itself.

Its a horrible situation to be honest, and I cannot wait for the power companies to fail due to their own hubris.

BTW if you think this is bad, do a quick check into the status of the National Broadband Network NBN in Australia. That's corruption on a whole other level and you should laugh at us Australians. No matter how bad your internet is I promise ours is worse, more expensive and despite billions of dollars not about to get better.
Hmm, it is not exactly programming of the kind you see here. This kind of programming is genetic mode switching.

Thymus is mostly random generation (unstable regions in T cell DNA) plus filtering with inactivation of non reactive and self reactive T cells with cytokines and specific receptors.

The mode switch changes T cell subtype not type of the cell based on these activation signals. (Including outright apoptosis.)
(Let me preface by saying that of course there are world-class Indian devs, and ones who contribute to FOSS and who answer questions on all kinds of forums. What follows is obviously a generalization based on my limited and flawed perceptions. I've never been to India, so might lack some cultural insight here.)

For better or worse, Indian developers in general have positioned themselves in the bottom of the market by working for rates lower than anything devs from developed countries can accept.

By doing so, they're under a lot of pressure to implement things as quickly and cheaply as possible and to cut corners where-ever they can.

On top of this, they are happy to accept jobs which require expertise in tech stacks that they simply don't have.

Due to this, I sense a level of desperation that other devs usually don't have, hence the annoying spamming of SO and Github and the begging for help.

This combination of pressures to be cheap and quick, and not being able to know all the tech stacks but still taking on jobs for those stacks, contribute to shoddy quality and workmanship.

Probably this is a development phase, and as India becomes wealthier and more developed, this trend will reverse, which will be a good thing for all of us.

Probably because Lennart Poettering is a Red Hat employee and wrote systemd while working for them?

I personally know someone really smart who was on an H1B visa in the US with his family. Recently, when hit with an RFE (request for evidence) during a routine renewal of his visa, he decided that it just wasn't worth the trouble of living in perpetual fear (settled status wait time is about 15 years) and shifted his entire family to Canada.

I bring this up because while Trump may attempt to target visa abusers, some smart people are also trapped in the crossfire which I feel affects the country negatively.

Solar power is not irregular at all, and is entirely predictable with a weather forecast. Unless Australia has an entirely different usage pattern to the rest of the developed world- businesses are perfectly aligned to use the solar power generated during the peak.

Apple is going about AR right: incremental, shipping now, and already building a developer ecosystem. Smartphone based AR is mediocre at best but millions of users already can access it and provide feedback on it. Apple doesn’t have to convince users to spend $600 (at least) today on a new gadget that would still mostly be a novelty. They have bought themselves time to develop a great AR hardware product, and when they do release it, a whole ecosystem will already be in place

In fact, Apple may have already won this space unless they seriously drop the ball or someone releases something amazing. I mean the hololens is shipping today and is really cool but few people seem to care because it’s so expensive and it’s not clear why you need AR. To make AR more than a novelty requires developers. Developers will go where the users are because that’s where the money is, and users go where the apps are and where their friends go. Apple is using smartphone based AR to work around this catch 22

Three words: Github for Business.
That is not necessarily the case though. That just shows they don't know how to hire.
This is where the problem is. Media should focus on facts. Not what the public loves.
Yes but where are the ones who have already learned and are answering other people's questions? And why so many silly questions? That was the question. There's a similar situation on Quora. You can look up just about any question and find multiple low quality answers from Indians. On both stress I there seems to be no attempt to do the hard work of diagnosing/debugging the problem to produce the minimal example scenario required by the site; instead it's just "fix my problem here's the code". It's just a different way of handling development which only works if other Stack Exchange users are prepared to spoon feed lazy developers. It's easy to see why many of the original Stack Exchange users have given up.
The Dart community is tiny and package selection is incredibly limited. I'd argue that Dart would be a very poor choice for most developers. It's not easier to pick up than something like Rails or even Spring.
It raises the bar, but dedicated (pros or super advanced hobbyists) attackers strip ICs of their packaging and probe at the die level.
What about all the people who don't use any Microsoft products (yet)?

Yeah, writing simple C programs using various constructs (switch/if/for statements, structs, different APIs, etc.) and then looking at the produced assembly is a good way to learn.

Another thing I like to do is to rewrite complex parts of the disassembly in pseudo-C (though radare has an option to do this automatically), which makes the overall logic easier to see (and is, of course, the entire point of decompilers like Hex-Rays).
Yes/No.

1. It depends on what you measure as "best". What level are you hiring for? Do you expect a good learner, or a uni-educated person?

2. It depends on whether you already included or ignored communities which are statistically disadvantaged. But if you openly say that hiring for diversity (as in inclusiveness, not equal numbers) leads to worse hires, do you think the best people from minorities will want to work for you? That would be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What I don't like in Microsoft's frameworks is that they've made lots of things multiple times in slightly different variations, like they always do with all their software (10 variations of each type of programs which were outdated before they were finished). Mostly it exists due to historical reasons, but it only underlines the problem of a multi-billion corporation having design skills of a sophomore. They redo and redo things, bloating their frameworks and increasing their number and you have to guess which CookieContainer you should use this time. It makes me understand why language designers like Rust developers insist on a small core library. Because it's better to have one separate library that will do everything regarding Cookie management (and you could control its functionality by including additional traits from it), than to have incompatible variations of it in the standard library and in each framework.
This is very misleading. Employers are under no obligation to recognize members-only unions. Also, the prevailing legal opinion seems to be that a members-only union can't negotiate better pay or working conditions just for members.

Amazon describes its internal service architecture here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxk8b9rSKOo

Services use an internal tool called Apollo to describe the service, deploy it to EC2 VMs, and auto-scale. Apollo inspired AWS CodeDeploy and AWS AutoScaling.

Services are reachable via load balancer sets similar to AWS ELB/ALB/NLB.

You reach a service by the LB-set's DNS name.

If you don't want to use AWS or AWS-specific deployment tools, you could use Puppet Pipelines to do the same on Google Cloud or Azure. Puppet Pipelines was built by people who previously built some of those internal Amazon tools and offers similar functionality but cross-cloud.

And if you want even fewer moving parts, just go PaaS or serverless.
So who are you talking about?
