they still know where you live. Your phone stops moving for 8 hours in the same spot every night. That's where you live. Unless you also leave your phone in a neighbor's letter box in which case you fooled 'em good.
Neither. NFL just want to push it so much.

> The stakes are high for the league's bid to tap the enormous potential of China's 1.4 billion people. NFL is pushing tie-ups with more than a dozen platforms on regular television and online to help reach viewers, even at rush hour, Richard Young, managing director for NFL China, told Reuters in recent interviews.

Getting out of an industry I knew I wasn't right for before it was too late. I took a job at an animation company about 5 years ago. Initially making iPhone applications as they were trying to break into that market at the time. That work dried up and I found myself doing more work as a pipeline director and technical artist. Work in that field requires a lot of specific knowledge and I did not want to invest the time to understanding it if I did not see myself staying in that industry forever. I moved to another company as a web developer and never looked back.
Some people have postulated Fata Morgana might have led to the sinking of the Titanic.[1] Obviously speculative, but apparently weather conditions, again, it's speculated, at the time could have been favorable for such atmospheric phenomenon.

Do you have examples? I am not personally aware of any...
Nice! I'll be honest, I did not expect them to reverse course on that. That makes me a bit happier about this whole thing.
I'll point to this next when the value of reproducible builds is questioned: https://github.com/meshbird/meshbird/issues/85#issuecomment-...
Fascinating. Love the reference to Morgana from Arthurian legend.
Chasing the JavaScript train back in 2007, weirdly. Now my experience set is worth large amounts of money, there’s basically infinite jobs, and it’s been easy to move out of it and into other lanes in the industry.
I think you're agreeing. Loyalty to people is awesome. Loyalty to corporations is not.

Looks cool but, but I can't help thinking there is something about this that looks like "modern" pixel art. Probably works excellent for kids that like "pixel games" but for me something is missing compared to oldschool hand pixelled graphics.
Meh, just a decade ago those same women would have been flipping through Vogue and Cosmo. Media has always been a net negative for female body issues and relationships. At least with Instagram for the first time, they can chose to follow more enlightening things. Also seems far more empowering to allow comments on photos.
Kind of. What I meant is "it won't work for all double NAT setups". In practice, if you have upnp on both sides or a setup which allows holepunching for any source it will work. (usually) But after working for a VoIP provider, I don't trust those anymore. Your home router will have some edge cases, or the mapping detection will fail, or something else will happen. If you're trying to connect 2 parties reliably, they need a proxy or direct access on one side.
I can relate to that. Learned python in that timeframe and this has opened opportunities but I'm not seeing the next python or web, being a programming language or technique. ML maybe but the hype is much higher than low key python was.

> Define "medium-sized". Sydney has over 5m people in it and covers approximately 4750 sq mi

This reveals something many readers might not have noticed. It's a quirk of politics and history that "Sydney" is defined to include the entire urban agglomeration that surrounds its city core (all 4750 sq miles of it), but this isn't the case in most U.S. cities. For an apples-to-apples comparison, you should be looking at U.S. CSA (Combined Statistical Area) populations (not the populations of core cities).

That puts Sydney outside the top 10 U.S. metros -- considerably smaller than #11 Atlanta (6,555,956), and about the size of #12 Detroit (5,336,286) or #13 Seattle (4,764,736).

The Los Angeles CSA (since you brought it up) has ~18 million people in it. †

† In the spirit of fairness, it should be noted that CSAs sometimes cover extremely large areas. If we were to restrict Los Angeles to its MSA (which at 4,850 sq miles covers an area almost identical in size to Sydney), its population drops to about 13 million. The difference between CSA and MSA populations isn't usually so large, but the Los Angeles metro area contains an almost ridiculous amount of urban-ish sprawl, compared to most other cities.
It did, but in a different tone. I understand the quoted letter as a sarcastic “they ‘enjoy’ it but that will not last long”. And then reporter takes these words and puts them in a sense of “a government makes clear that they will enjoy poi and fair trial” literally, as if government liked that and “fair” meant “good for them”. That seems like standard low-grade journalism, and like it was done here. Not that we shall not forgive that, but still.
Did you feel like you had agency when you first started? I'm talking to a Global 500 for a senior engineering role and I'm super torn. The role seems cool, but I like my agency and have alot of it currently. It's a hard thing to risk giving up.
Most large companies have a "jump the shark" moment where business needs and biz dev take over the engineering/product side and starts running the show unilaterally. It becomes less of an equal affair and more dictating terms.

Microsoft's was in the 90s in the os/browser wars.
I suggest you try spending a few hours in my support channels.

The problem is that users are confused by the fact that "logging into your browser is not the same as logging into all the sites you use". You can literally sign into chrome with one google account and then sign into google with a totally different google account. Futhermore chrome has different "people" (browsing profiles) which confuses them even more; there's three different things that look vaguely like identity here.

You think this is just fine, Mr. Oauth, but I guarantee you it's a giant mess for the 99.9% of humans who have no idea what oauth is.

Chrome usability would be significantly improved by collapsing "logged into chrome" and "logged into google" into a single thing.
A few times throughout my career, I noticed a pattern of dreading waking up and doing the work that I do. Once I've identified that, my number one priority is to figure out if that can be fixed or find something else to do if it can't.

Maybe I'm lucky, but every single one of these changes (there have been 4 major ones in ~15 years) has led to something better than what came before it in one way or another.

Life is too short to hate what you do. That will always be the guiding principle of my career, through all the ups and downs.
We had automatic turrets decades ago, so the "AI" part was just me trying to be funny.
It's in their documentation (but a bit hidden):
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-overview.html#qt-webengine... (This version of Qt WebEngine is based on Chromium version ...).

I usually check their script, which also lets you switch between versions easily:
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/tools/scripts...

And I also have an overview here:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/quteb...
Don't make money your first priority. Take it into account, yes, and fight for raises if you deserve them; but prioritize other things that have a greater impact on quality of life, such as location, commute time or absence of overtime.

The best paid job I ever had was also the worst by any other measure.
I think a lot of what you're seeing is the rather basic color palette, snes and a lot of older games were very creative with their use of colors and much more subtle about doing things like adding basica textural detail to items, as well as just a general use of the "outline" which very few older pixel art games used (see anything by the bitmap brothers, or secret of mana for example) which can easily be fixed by removing these options.

these kinds of apps, while they get non-artists about 80% of the way... as the saying goes, the last 20% is 90% of the work :)
I wonder what would happen if the world somehow managed to boycott Google, Facebook and Amazon as a protest against privacy issues and anti-competitive practices by these cos.

What, no.
The problem I have with things like this is that they seem pretty comical in assigning development costs to the goods. If the “cost” of a device is only x% of the sale price then the company should be making profits in the order of (100-x)%. But of course this isn’t true, because for most products that have “high margins” (by these measures) there are significant costs involved in producing it in the first place.

@anoncoward111 gave as an example an artistic crayon, but if you imagine it taking a few weeks for each artistic crayon, then for a perfectly reasonable annual income the cost of that crayon is easily a few thousand. Alternatively look at any of the expensive paintings and ask yourself what the raw materials cost of it is.
Yeah, I recall them saying they need something like two man-months for each Chromium release to adapt (the changed lines in the imported Chromium source is usually somewhere around a couple of million...).
Are you sharing your location? Maybe nothing is stored, but your current location is used for searches you make.

Ah misunderstanding, idea is paying the fine wouldn't effect normal FICA contributions. So a $100 ticket means your out $100 now with the small consultation that you might get it back in 30-40 years via a slightly higher SS check.
I have considered using CEF as well (via cefpython), but the main deal breaker was that it isn't packaged anywhere - so I'd need to ship my own copy of it with qutebrowser, which is usually not something you can do with Linux distribution packages.
Well the original statement is just "an android phone", and majority of Android phones (think China) don't even have Gmaps installed.
The iPod comment was from slashdot, if memory serves.
I'd really like to see some discussion of the numbers because on the surface a declining divorce rate sounds positive, but depending on other trends it might not be.

If these are all true:

1- Unmarried couples with children are more likely to separate than married couples (this is probably true)

2- Couples with less means have become less likely to marry (this is confirmed)

3- Couples with less means are having children at around the same rate that they used to (not sure on this one)

Then it suggests that fewer low income children may grow up in stable two-parent households, which is not progress at all, it means a stable family life is becoming a privilege reserved only for the upper class.

Which would make a certain amount of sense in the context of long-term inflation and stagnant wages, there's a clear trend in the US of middle class privileges slipping away from a growing segment of the population.

We should have seen this coming -- financial hardship has been the #1 cause of divorce for a long time.
FWIW this is not new. This has been the case for the past couple of years at least.
One of my goals at the moment is trying to see if the original source material is available. As far as I know they were sent to a Canadian archive, possibly civilian, possibly military just before or just after the death of the person I got my copies from. I am interested in seeing the original papers to try and get a handle on what was being proposed.

The copies I have are partially edited and incomplete, which is why I would like to get access to the source material. I am just having difficulty trying to track down where this stuff is. As a consequence, I am having to search through all of my off-line archives for any relevant information. After 20 or more years, that is a lot of material to go through.

As I was saying to someone in recent days, I have between 500 and 1500 papers and books that I want to read and these are just the ones I currently have on-line. just looking for any one paper that I am interested can take quite a while to find. Let alone all the off-line papers and books that I am interested in reading.

So, when I do get access to this material, I will be trying to get it online to the general community even if it is only scans.
That the newest stable release is Chromium 69, and ideally you wouldn't want to lag behind that.
I actually use Webkit Technology Preview, which you can find on the app store - it's pretty much Safari but with some extra goodies, and I find it comparable to Chrome in a lot of ways. Would recommend.

Safari = my personal browsing
Firefox = a lot of work stuff
An ANIMATED History of DENMARK
I've read your post and the parent's post three times but I still cannot understand the point you're making in response to their point. Can you clarify what point you're trying to make, and specifically, put it in context for trying to discover the motivations for the murders? Do you think seeking motivations is pointless because "they murdered two children" ?
At age 42 (11 years ago), going back to school and completing a Masters degree in Enterprise Architecture. I had been in the same job for 5 years when I made the decision. Work had a self-education program that paid for my tuition. The decision was literally made in the space of a couple of days before the mid-year intake. If I'd had to wait another 6 months, I probably would have talked myself out of it. It was hard work (had a young family at the time), but paid off handsomely when my stupid employer not only refused to utilise me in my chosen field (having graduated top of the class at their cost), but literally pushed me out of the company. One of my industry lecturers got me my first contracting gig and I haven't looked back since.

I guess I learned a few things:

1) don't overthink decisions (which is not to say "don't think");

2) to back myself and my abilities with the requisite effort. I'm typically smarter than I think but I need to put in a matching level of effort. When I got my Bachelor degree 20 years earlier, I literally skidded out the door in a haze of alcohol and with a shit grade. That cost me a few years;

3) don't be afraid of a challenge; don't be afraid of the unknown;

4) be sensitive to where you are in your life - can you afford to take a hit if things go pear shaped? Time-box your attempt to shake things up in your life;

5) If you work as a contractor - networking and self-brand management rules. I rely heavily on LinkedIn and the network of contacts I have cultivated, and keep my brand alive with posts and articles relevant to the kinds of work I want to be doing - not necessarily flavour of the month.

There's probably more but that's pretty much it. My income now is almost 3 times what it was in 2007, and while I'm not suggesting that's the only measure of success (far from it), it affords me a professional freedom to be more picky in the work I take on, and to live with far less fear than before.

EDITED TO ADD:
The reason I chose Enterprise Architecture was because it suited my temperament. I discovered I was a "systems" thinker pretty early on, and as I moved through a typical IT career trajectory, the "systems" I was thinking about became bigger and bigger. EA probably sounds pretty passe compared to all the "it" technologies people are playing with, but it's kinda like politics - reality is gritty, the problems are hard, endless and fascinating (if you're so inclined).
On topic of LSEVs bans: some cities simply ban "cars smaller than x and y in width and length" because poor people drive them.

I had a really good time and learned more than I thought I would during my postgrad studies. However if you would be paying full tuition there's probably cheaper ways to get into AI though.
Wow, I am 35 and thinking its too late for me. Thanks for your reply. Btw money should be used as measurement of financial decisions, nothing wrong with that.
To "enjoy" something can just mean to have the benefit of it. I don't think either the government statement or the BBC's quote meant to imply that the men would be literally enjoying themselves.
Tea or Coffee: Which drink is better for you?
To be fair, WebKit2 isn't abandoned (WebKit1 was, and some projects never migrated to WebKit2) - at least in WebKitGTK+ (which most projects use), that's still maintained: https://webkitgtk.org/

However, QtWebEngine is probably still ahead of WebKit, both security- (sandboxing) and feature-wise.
I think it's because this is just down-scaling high-resolution art to lower resolutions. Old-school pixel art is not just regular art at a lower resolution (at least, not for the games that people remember fondly). It was designed to look a certain way on the CRT monitors of the time, which were very much not simple arrays of solid colored squares.

There's a really good article here about all the complexities of emulating a CRT monitor: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/KylePittman/20150420/241442/C...
They are vitally important, but they aren't perceived by the public as vitally important, so their negotiating power is limited.

Doesn't the employer often ask that why you change jobs every year ? Is it fair enough that if one company offers better gig than other so I can negotiate with other to increase gig?
Using Mozilla as an example is a bit odd. Sure it certainly was because of his political actions, but Mozilla isn't exactly a normal company. It's very collaborative and community run. He lost the support of the almost the entire community he was supposed to lead. If Mozilla was a normal company with shareholders, it would have been a shareholder revolt. That's just not a tenable situation.
You won't be able to use the Qt version in the repos for Ubuntu 16.04, but if you're on x86_64, you can use a prebuilt PyQt which ships with Qt: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/doc/i...
Her tweets were taken out of context? No. She tried to justify her racism by saying white people had done mean things to her on the internet in the past. That's an incredibly broken mindset and accepting her attempted justification just perpetuates racism. But it's against white people so I guess that's not a big deal.

Also I said prominent, the conservatives I mentioned each had around 1 million followers. That Antifa student group, orders of magnitude less.
You can if you do :set hints mode number.
Looks like google has hit a gold mine with some algorithm to better sell ads or is under pressure from competitors (Facebook) to gather more data than they have currently.

Their lack of presence in social media will hurt them in the long term. In Facebook you upload pictures, you like stuff, you spend more time on someone's profile, you hover more on an ad even if you don't click all these while you are logged in. Google doesn't have that graph unless they link gmail with search. No one logs into Google search and give their identity, but we do pretty much the same in Facebook.
^^^ I'm quite serious.
So instead of putting in bizarre kludges in various parts of the UI fix the underlying issue - browser login should not be a prominent feature (it should be called sync bookmarks/history in settings somewhere), google logins should not be displayed in browser chrome and google websites should not get special treatment (either in cookies or login status).

That’s why people are complaining - they see that google clearly wants to privilege their own sites and logins in chrome and push the users to always be signed in with google across any site. Great for google, bad for user privacy and the open web.
Why are people downvoting this? It’s a fine question to ask. I think people have been downvoting questions more lately, and it’s unfortunate.
Sure, they know but they're putting usability behind "accept us tracking everything" for anyone who has "opted out of tracking" several years ago. Basically they're turning off more and more usability so that they can get you to accept their tracking agreement.

They do this with btle as well, you have to turn on location services because they can't bother to randomize bluetooth tags (like apple) and want this setting on all the time.
> I can already see that all my shazam tags automatically show up in Apple Music for me

I'm not sure why you raised your point, but unfortunately generalizing when a specific issue is raised is one of the problem things I see in meetings too.

Like if someone says, "The front end is extremely slow loading the SPA in the browser because of legacy cruft," I see a lot of people relate that to their area or generalize, either "Analytics also takes forever, the email queue needs more workers/the db has slow queries, building the app takes too long, the mobile app take forever to sign in" etc etc, or "the whole tech stack is slow and needs improvement."

No doubt all true, and sure perhaps speeding up DB queries by indexing on user email or whatever would speed up loading for signed in people, but the front end is still slow to load, and bringing up other issues doesn't solve the specific problem raised, if you get my point.
https://westlinkcleaning.com.au/floor-buffing-sydney/
> Seems fine, unless you read it as them arguing that they should not be given a fair trial.

That is exactly what the BBC tweets suggest to me.
