I was a Mac user for ever 20 years -- finally ditched it a few weeks ago [for Linux] after getting fed up with their daft shenanigans.

The whole App Store / iTunes archipelago, the willful rejection of expandable and [easily] user-serviceable hardware design in favor of a 'form before function' approach, the related planned obsolescence strategy [e.g., older hardware simply will not run recent software; new OS breaks older 3-party software], and the ghastly overpricing were among the factors that drove me off.

Mainly, I liked MacOS because I prefer putting work into projects as opposed to maintaining my own system, and MacOS "just works," until it doesn't. These days though, I run an idiotresistant distribution of Linux on my productivity machine, a minimal one on my 'learning' machine, and am generally more content. Also, running Linux, I feel less like I'm directly interfacing with a villain from 'Black Mirror'
To be fair, we don't really know what works in terms of governance and what doesn't.

We do know what science currently says, but that doesn't mean it will forever indicate the same conclusion (to wit: nutrition). It does not provide much insight into a complex world like politics and civics, which are better thought of as an open system with unclear interactions between inputs.

(Also: "science" is not some unified view that has the on-high pope with decrees.)
> Google can practically destroy any company/person in any vertical if it so chose.

Yet they don't. So either they're not as scary as "Microsoft was even at its peak", or maybe they're not as powerful as you make them out to be.
It says "no Party" - does it mean this only binds the signatories of the treaty - which probably are countries and not individual developers? And if so, I would read it as "we promise there will be no state law to mandate all software in the country be open-source" which seems to be reasonable (even though I never heard about any country trying to pass such a law anyway) not "open source licenses are un-enforceable". Also, it says "owned by person of another Party", so it's mostly even "we promise no import/export bans on non-open-source software", and the intra-governmental actions are not even discussed, only cross-governmental ones. Also (3) says if the government negotiates contracts, it still can require the software to be open-source, it just can't have blanket ban on non-open-source software imports altogether.

Am I misreading it or misunderstanding what "Party" means?
It might be annoying for a regular user to have that disabled until they figure out how to enable that, it could be literally unusable for a less capable user to have touch to click enabled. If you're not savvy enough to know that you might be able to disable it, you're probably also unsavvy enough that spurious clicks are disastrous, because you aren't comfortable enough to undo things.

I think they may have thought about this a little bit before making their default decisions.
I wonder why LJ would consider GNU a party to the CPTPP? They certainly didn't sign it.
I have been a manager for a few years. Giving a talk at an event can be a huge career boost. Unless she has a good reason, you should ignore her request.
If you are giving such cold comment, you might as well spell the word “ass”, which seems colder than the British’s arse.
UI look really only matters in competitive consumer markets.

In B2B spaces where there are limited competitors and vastly different levels of investment involved for the users, the UI largely becomes irrelevant as long as it works.
Doing a pin joint frame static analysis is simple, and will yield a lower bound on the loads on the struts. It would serve as a good cross check on the computer model.
While far from the current state of the art of practical cryptography, I have a very soft spot for "theoretically constructed" cryptographic hash functions.

I've encountered SWIFFT (which uses a lattice SVP), and some based on classic number theoretic functions (DLP).

Walks on expander graphs for cryptographic hashes are new for me. I'd seen them for applications in randomness extraction, but their application to cryptographic hashing really, really beautifully links well known graph problems (cycle finding and path finding) to collision and pre-image attacks.

This isn't exactly what the paper is about (just the introductory material)... but something I felt moved to say. Hopefully someday we find very efficient expander graph constructs, because of how incredibly useful they continue to be in the theory.
I'm not surprised they went with GCP. We've built backend services for games on AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. and their network is the best suited for realtime games as it stands from our experience. Unfortunately not had any real experience with Cloud Spanner as we didn't want to tie our technology directly to GCP.
Everything else can be seen as different shades of gray, but Php is pitch black.

Stop being apologetic of that piece of shit.
Just wanted to chime in, I'm in Utah and can totally relate. (My car will be repo'd next friday if I don't have enough, and we're struggling w/ eviction possibilities too.

For me, I had an employer not pay me 2 months of wages.. 14k. The CEO is a corrupt scam-artist, and me and all other devs/ex employees have filed wage claims, but he went to jail for check fraud, and I'm assuming he's poor too, possibly a drug abuser according to one dev, so yeah--I'm probably never seeing the 15k I'm owed :( ...

It's been a real struggle, the depression has made it so for about 2 weeks I couldn't get out of my chair, I just felt if I move it would be to jump off a roof or something. It gets better though (i think)...

My saving grace is reddit.com/forhire -- 90% of my freelance clients have come from there, it's a great resource. I just got 2 clients this week, so hopefully they pay and I can knock out their things fast enough to build up my security net a bit.

My advice look at the for hire posts for devs, find the one that sticks out the most, copy their layout, replace the content with your details, and post it.

Do this once per week -- Monday at 7am eastern seems to be best / most trafficked time according to a reddit stat's site I checked out.

Then just keep posting other places too, and following up. Hopefully you find something. I know how hard it is though, good luck!

Generally the entity that believes their stuff has been stolen goes to the authorities to complain. Then someone there makes a determination whether or not to take up the case and ultimately prosecute.
How to resign from a company
> Text is "a person of another Party"

That just means "foreigner".

> Although "party" is literally defined as "country", it applies to the businesses in within a country.

What "it"? The NAFTA could certainly have requirements from signatory states to implement certain laws, and when such laws are implemented, of course they would apply to Boeing or any other US company. But I don't think NAFTA itself would apply directly.
I guess you can think of them as ads, they’re more like suggestions with previews. It’s not like you have to pay extra to watch those movies or shows.
I don't know, I grew up on a farm but I've never heard that before that I can think of. It was probably planed there at some point by old farmers talking but I can't be sure.
The real problem is that 100K and some advice sets up the vast majority for failure right out of the gate. Also weeds out the flakes, so there's that, too.
The huge myth about cross-platform mobile development using web technologies isnthat it gives you a faster time-to-market.

The reality I’ve seen, developing both hybrid and native, is that native has the faster time-to-market because all of native stuff (debugger, GUI builder, etc) works out of the box and all the time saved by a shared codebase is eaten up with tweaking the shared code, having to do stupid JavaScript tricks, and dealing with all the bullshit of the web that hybrid development brings into your app.
Have you used Elm and if yes, what do you think about it. As far as I have seen, it blows everything out of the water for me. It feels a bit weird at first, and It may not be just there yet in terms of features, but the paradigm is solid.
I found the biggest barrier with react in understanding concepts, not learning API. API is 3 methods as mentioned above. Once you got the concepts you will never go back to old ways.
That the solution to anxiety and panic attacks isn't "Deal with it! You're making others uncomfortable."
Can anyone clarify who _invented_ async/await? I thought it was Anders and his group ... perhaps not?
Ok, I'll bite. Most scalable, you say. I have 250TB of Django logs, how do you recommend I use awk to process them to determine the 99th percentile response time that's faster than using SparkSQL?
I'll be the devil's advocate.

I miss the old Ma Bell. Its monopoly meant that AT&T Bell Labs had no financial pressure which allowed it to pursue pure research and crazy ideas that won several Nobel Prizes and laid the foundation of the 21st century.

It's impossible to say what would've been. Would it really have been worse than the miserable choices of telcos in their current form? Verizon, AT&T, etc.

Similarly, Google's ad revenue allows it to pursue incredible advances in AI and driverless cars that would otherwise be unprofitable.
Thanks for the publish :)

This is not true. What you described would violate Google’s copyright on their mapping data (or the copyright owner they’ve licensed it from, depending on the data).
I really, really dislike them. What I am unclear about is how they get around my browser's (Safari) autoplay restrictions.
I am sorry but your post is too general other than the fact that you are an ex-googler. Can you list specific achievements of yours that can help us understand what you bring to the table ? For example, you said "Abiliy to get investment from top notch investors". Anyone can make that claim as it is too general. What ability is that specifically ?

I can understand the need to hide your identity possibly but if you are looking for a co-founder, you need to be a bit more open. Otherwise, it seems unfair that you expect people to contact you without providing any meaningful information.
I'd also like that, but even today there is lots of software that can kill people if it contains bugs. It is usually enough that the makers can prove that they followed some process like EN50128. Source code is not required. I don't think there are competent people available for auditing source code.
Minimising the memory usage doesn't just create wasted 'free memory'. Among other things...

> Windows actually keeps the most used applications in [inactive] memory for faster access time.

When an app uses extra memory, it prevents this from happening. If the extra memory use doesn't help the user, the net effect is a harmed user experience, even if they have enough memory to hold everything the currently running apps want to store.
Good news. These types of data intensive apps ( Google search, Google Maps etc ) are one of the greatest threats to the open web because they make it very painful to switch to an alternate provider. Keeping this type of data open ( along with open data interchange formats ) could improve competition in service providers
Maybe a better word is 'promo' or 'house ad'. Whatever you call them they are obnoxious.
I think it's interesting that much like on the global trends on Google [1], Alexa surfaces that Vue seems to have some traction in China:

Country Percent of Visitors Rank in Country
China 59.1% 631
United States 8.7% 7,245
Japan 3.7% 6,109
Iran 2.8% 2,373
India 2.2% 8,422

Country Percent of Visitors Rank in Country
United States 33.3% 3,312
China 9.8% 6,694
India 8.5% 4,016
Japan 4.9% 7,585
Iran 3.6% 2,632

The top Sites linking into React (according to those Alexa links):

upenn.edu (US)

Would feel more honest and less like an ad, if they also mention the trade-offs and struggles.
Great product, I'll definitely share it!
On iPhone X, the placement of the tutorial button in the notch gives a non-native feeling. But a lot of existing native apps are also guilty of this. Otherwise, kudos, it is indistinguishable
I second what you noticed. I now see myself with a WTF expression on my face when I am trying to figure out what happened with the linear timeline and all that junk I pretty much don't care about inserted in what I am interested to read. Feels like random ad inserts. Not good.
This is what we call security issues? Cloud is such a thing that anything can happen. That's the reason we are talking about shifting security to the left as much as possible, whether it is DevOps, Cryptocurrency or anything other.
Do we know this?

It is not possible truly to know one way or another at a complete level, although it is unlikely. Saying they are not this powerful is, well, simply not true. It is not possible without creating a huge skunk-works internal project binding people to secrecy.

Google doesn't have the power to bind people to secrecy in the same way that say, the CIA, FBI, or NSA do. It does not mean that they do not have the capability of doing these things.
Near-Threshold Computing Issues Deepen
Most 2FA USB devices do not support NFC to make them wireless. Even if you do have an NFC enabled 2FA device, Macs don't have NFC. So, wireless is not an option.
The key difference btw Google and Microsoft is this:

If MS harmed you, you'd know. If Google intends to harm you, it looks like a stroke of bad luck.

All they have to do is hide the tree (you the person they intend to harm) within the forest (thousands of other sites/businesses) affected by the same policy change.

You could go months without finding out. And if you ever do, it's extremely difficult to prove foul play.
Com... cough cough, cast! That's an interesting theory and discussion topic. I was just wondering today what are my options about switching to a better ISP with all this net neutrality gone by the window and Comcast asking me to return my old router to get a new one so they can throttle me better?
I haven't installed it, but I note that there's no explanation of what a "Picross / Nonogram" is on the google play page. So if I stumbled across this game I wouldn't have any incentive to try it out.
My experience with Alexa incoming links is really inaccurate. The numbers are fairly decent for popularity though.
> So the prevailing thought is that the NTSB is delaying the documents to protect FIU officials, and not to prevent undue influence of the public before the release of the report?

I'd suggest that it's not an issue of bad faith regarding the NTSB, but rather that the NTSB doesn't (and shouldn't!) care about the political fallout from this, whereas a newspaper very much has an interest in uncovering the political side of this.
I think the thing that’s missing from this advice is a degree of compromise. Particularly if the policy is ‘unwritten’ aka the managers personal preference. Even with official policy many should be open to exceptions for good reason.

As an employee you won’t get latitude without pushing for it and often for minor things forgiveness can be better than permission. Which isn’t to say it’s a good idea to be adversarial or sneaky but that there is really no need to be walked on either.
> The mini has Thunderbolt and and digital audio in/out. The NUC has neither of these.

The NUC I am using at the moment (a NUC7I5BNK) has Thunderbolt 3.

The current Mac mini is stuck with Thunderbolt 2 and doesn't have any USB-C ports either.
Cool!

What the “Perfect” Body Would Look Like According to an Evolutionary Biologist
>> Intellectual-property experts agree that existing EU copyright rules need an overhaul for the digital age

> Variations of this idea are the root of all the bullshit

Yep. Now people like Richard Stallman are also copyright experts, too. But in general, the bias is goes the other way.

I think it's a general phenomenon most (but not all) lawyers specialising in a field favour stricter laws in that field. Imagine you are a specialist copyright lawyer. Your most obvious potential clients are big rights owners, you will try to go to the same parties as them and imbibe their world-view.

I just don't see it happening unless the government itself issues a crypto currency (which it very well could).

You seem to believe that currency has no value but what we attribute to it. This is false.
You are confusing open source with theft. I never said that China was open-sourcing the code, I said they are misappropriating it and giving it to specific Chinese companies. And, they certainly aren’t mandating that the Chinese companies return their improvements to the commons, or even to the company they stole from.
These should be covered in primary school. It's amazing how many of these were taught to us as universal truths.
OP asking for survival tips. Avoiding the crisis is best, sure. But if that doesn't work right off, keeping body and soul together needs food. Studied this a bit when I thought we might be looking at an economic meltdown on a large scale. YMMV, this is result of reading and practicing from comfort.
Most canned foods are very low on the calories per dollar scale. On the other hand they need no refrigeration and most can be safely eaten without preparation, being already fully cooked.
Sites like Survivalblog are a wealth of staying alive info. There are many sites about surviving homelessness too.
Find a LDS cannery in your area and ask if they sell to the public. Most will. A six pack of #10 can filled with oats or pasta or dry milk goes a long way for very little coin. They have a pragmatic mission to help folks before a crisis.
Get a wide-mouthed thermos bottle or two. In goes a half cup of oats, a pinch of salt, dab of butter if you have it. Flavor to taste and ability. Add a cup of boiling water, seal and let sit 5-10 minutes. Ta-da, a hearty breakfast for a few cents. Thank Kurt Saxon, regardless of his politics.
If you still have a roof and electrical power, consider a thrift-store bread machine. A few practice runs with some recipes off the 'net or from the library. '5 minute a day artisan bread' works well. A rice cooker is another great tool for keeping well fed on the cheap. Add a wok and you can work up a near infinite variety of stir-fry tasties.
Look at 'Eternal Soup' for how some of our ancestors made safe use of all nutritional calories that came their way in trying times.
If you are looking at longer term low-cost food intake, remember complete proteins and micronutrients. Vitamins. We can get by for quite a while on body reserves but the symptoms of deficiency won't help an already tough situation. Healing slower, getting sick more easily, worsened depression, insomnia, and the ever-popular teeth falling out. Sprouting beans, wheat berries, getting a few ounces of ascorbic acid for doctoring up the bread dough... do a bit of homework.
Keep a healthy mindset.

Blessings to you and yours.

It's a commodity.
I see several offers for laptop and other assistance, so
you need to create an email address for this (if worried about getting found out, embarassed etc with using real email address) and put it in your about page right now, so that these kind folks can get in touch with you, and you can get a head start and try to avoid going homeless....

Who knows, you may even be able to get some short contract from someone here and stay afloat for a few weeks / months.

Wishing you the best!
I'm unaware of any liability that can be picked up through rendering an opinion on a design. I have participated in forensic engineering / expert witness cases in geostructural matters. In fact, the opinion of an engineer as an "expert witness" is often codified in law as retaining no liability. Asking questions and drawing conclusions is not something that presents any risks besides you being possibly proven wrong later. If you don't stamp the design to be constructed, then there is no liability.

I would be very interested in any law or regulation you can find that says otherwise.

I would also add that most of the involvement of engineers during lawsuits is to establish exactly what state of practice is in the local area. It would be hard to do that if all these other engineers didn't have or couldn't give an opinion.

Well, there is a root cause. There are possible contributing factors, yes, but the root cause, according to the article, was incorrect calculations that lead to the underspecification of truss 11.
I didn't focus on OP because he already knows what he wants. Most people need help emphasizing with the other person not with their own wants/desires and compromise requires empathy. There are situations where someone is being over-accommodating and getting walked over but I didn't get that from the tone of the question.

Asking forgiveness later is another advanced level topic but it generally goes hand in hand with a good working relationship that has already been established. Without that its a quick way to get reprimanded or fired.

Remember, at the end of the day you are spending time on this specifically to get what you want. Its not an altruistic act for your manager.
The timing is interesting, assuming it took a few years in draft before being voted to pass. According to a "Jose Canseco" like book called Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, the USSR would frequently attend international trade shows and directly purchase/bribe/steal technology from westerners. But only after the fall of the union did it become a criminal act for an American commit.[0]

Then again, this was also the first period when technology really became ubiquitous. Perhaps it just reflects the spread of tech.

[0] of course treason / violation of oath was a crime, I'm just curious if anyone more versed in history than I can provide more insight.
This was beautifully composed. I also use Mithril.js for most if not all my SPA builds. It’s an 8kb solid little framework and I can cook it into virtually any web application because of this.

Vue and React are great but in my experience they’re virtually an overkill for most projects. I recently come across a Shopify cart integration using Vue and was sorta dumbfounded that an engineer decided to include a 50kb framework to handle a couple of Ajax requests. I ask myself why? The answer is hype. Hype can be the demise sometimes.
