I noticed a while back that Debian 9 introduced some strange breakage with bash completion. Previously, if you were typing 'dd if=/dev/...' and started using tab for completion, it would behave as expected. Under Debian 9, typing 'dd if=/dev/' and hitting tab will turn the command into 'dd /dev/'.

I'm sure this was an oversight in the march of progress, but it sure is annoying to see a regression.
Yeah, but replacing something as basic as the shell is not a comforting thought.

Safari is the new IE, Chrome has been responsible for a huge number of positive changes in the browser landscape.

I develop in Chrome because that's where the majority of our conversions come from.

I (my QA team) also tests Safari, Firefox and other browsers where a significant number of conversions come from. I never heard "just use chrome" in any professional environment.

> My teammates made this change to prevent surprises in a shared device scenario. In the past, people would sometimes sign out of the content area and think that meant they were no longer signed into Chrome, which could cause problems on a shared device

I can see why there is pushback against this, but the issue described above is also understandable. There are valid reasons why "average" users would rather have this, and having unsynced or completely mismatched logins between Chrome and Google sites can lead to confusion for many who don't really see or care about a difference between them.

However it would be best if Chrome kept the settings to disable this. It doesn't make sense to remove those flags when they also have a large technical user base. Seems like good intentions but misjudging the impact of the decision and forcing it on everyone without recourse.
The easiest way is to switch to another browser.
When you say literally make it not suck, I have to wonder just how broken the internet really is where you are.
Yes, it's better than asking if they understand the assertion of the point, but the parent was giving a misleading comparison to something that stripped out both the Socratic questions and the quantification of the cost.
I wouldn't be surprised if certified drivers have some of the more egregious hacks disabled too.

;-) you’re right - Hehe, I should let google translate do the talking.
Read the whole article and none of the evidence provided proves that Russia swung the election. Could this not simply be organic & domestic? Just last week in the NY Primaries I heard of people being purposely told wrong election close times...this stuff happens all the time domestically.

>“What we cannot do, however, is calculate the impact that foreign meddling and social media had on this election.”

>But did the meddling alter the outcome? “How will we ever know?” he said. “We probably won’t, until some Russians involved in it are actually prosecuted—or some Republican, in a moment of conscience, talks.”

Then you don't have enough evidence to be making such large claims. I don't like Trump either, but as Chomsky also points out, this is a distraction from real substantive issues and it's putting undue faith in the alphabet soup agencies.

It really seems this is a media & publishing grab for money as people get sucked into a conspiracy theory.

I said tax not “income tax alone”.

Social Security and Medicare are 12.4% + 1.45% and have no ‘deductions’ on earned income below ~125k adding up to: 13.85%. People paying more than 1.25% on earned income are rather common.

Many very low income earners are blocked from reviving any benefits from social security, but they still paid.
How little the health of students counts compared to the whims of their parents.

When did it became a right for parents to put their kids on a bus? They wait on the sidewalk, the big yellow truck comes by, they get on it. It's not that hard. I managed to do it without parental intervention every day from 2nd grade on (legally required before that where I grew up), because my parents' work schedules conflicted with the bus schedule.

And I'm not some old-timer complaining about kids these days, I'm < 30 and I still remember being completely unable to fall asleep before 1am as a teenager and being expected to wake up at 6:30 and go work for 14 hours a day. On behalf of their kids, fuck all of these parents.

Yes. Erlang is built around distributed message sending and serialization. Python does not have any such things; even some libraries like Celery punt on it by having you configure different messaging mechanisms ("backends" like RabbitMQ, Redis, etc.) and different serialization mechanisms (because built-in pickle sucks for different uses in different ways). Node.js does not come with distributed message sending and serialization either.

Same was true for IE, IE for instance pioneered asynchronous requests (which is pretty much the norm these days) and things like that - still was a bad browser though.
I have heard critiques of functional programming, but not that there is a problem with leaky abstractions. Can you provide an example? Does it invalidate the discipline of trying to use pure functions when possible?

I learned to program using BASIC on an Apple II. All of the variables were global, and it wasn't until I got Apple Pascal that I had access to a language that had local variables. I immediately saw the advantage of the discipline of using local variables whenever possible because I had experienced the difficulty of tracking down where in the whole program a global variable might be changed.

It could be argued that local variables are just syntactic sugar over a global memory space, but no one credibly argues today that we should therefore only use global variables. Local variables make it easier to reason about the behavior of a program, and it appears to me that functional programming takes that idea even further.
If the police can tie the IP to a person, then it "can be tied". Some courts decided before GDPR that IP addresses can't convincingly be enough to tie a person to a crime committed with that IP address, but that is not to say it isn't PII, or can't be tied to a person.
It's nice for anything with nested scopes -- Example that came to mind since a link to Crafting Interpreters was also on the front page: Variable lookup for for an interpreter. If each scope gets its own set of bindings, you can make a ChainMap from most specific to least specific and look up values from that instead of manually traversing scopes.

> Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences

Yeah but when you and your kin are the self appointed constables of inflicting said consequences, that's just a euphamism for "freedom of speech justifies jungle justice." I believe freedom of speech should be freedom from consequences for all but the most egregious forms of speech. I don't kick athiests off my projects even when they openly lambaste beliefs I hold dear on Twitter. I don't kick anti-vaxxers off my projects even though they openly spread misinformation. In the context of my project, code is king and as long as everyone is treating each other with respect, that's all that matters. I expect the same courtesy from other project maintainers if people disagree with (off-project) opinions.
I disagree that they should phase out imperative / OO programming, but from my experience more emphasis on different languages i.e. throw in a ML (as in Meta Language) and a Lisp, and most importantly some information about the trade offs.

However it would require a culture shift as a university being a place to get you ready for a career in industry rather than academia.

Because you are prepping for academia it is OK for them to postpone functional to later years on even the PhD.

You mention grief with OO - but I think a lot of it you would get with Functional too and it has more to do with the incentives and people structures in organisations that produce code. Usually praise goes to those who get a 8 hour Jira ticket done in 4, or a 5 week task done in 4 weeks etc, and from the users point of view 'it works'. The structure of the code is not discovered until later.

Code reviewers are working at the deckchairs level, they are unable to change the Titanic's direction, and again both parties in a code review have incentive to do it as quick as possible (while not looking like they obviously brushed over it), so it become mostly a potential bug hunting and syntactic cleanup exercise.

It's almost a running joke that refactoring rarely gets done, and if it does it is trivial, and usually required some stealth from a developer or manager to create cover to do the refactor.

The only hope we have is to work somewhere where there is a good understanding of code quality from top to bottom in the org, or at least when you cross the technical/non-technical boundary there is a high degree of trust to let the tech people do the right thing, and not KPI them into submission.
But they should be honest about their claims. Perhaps the customer is expecting that humans don't process their personal information on a routine basis.
>Most other degrees are meant to prepare you for a career.

False. Employability is a side-effect of those as well.

If you don't like that, don't get a four year degree. Many people don't and are successful.

If you want to be forced to have a broad background of different areas in computer science, learn theory, and do many-many projects, get a four year CS degree. Don't want to be pigeonholed into doing the latest-greatest variation of Visual FoxPro for the rest of your life? Get a CS degree.

The argument that resonates with me is how Chrome is breaking the barrier between the web and the browser, and that this barrier should be important. It's morphing from a multi purpose web browser into a Google centric application (e.g. ChromeOS).

It's entirely possible that the only reason I'm a programmer today is because of Myst.

For reasons that I either never fully learned or fail to remember, my father received a CD in the mail from Myst's publisher (Broderbund?) containing a demo of the game. Only, someone screwed up, and instead of the CD containing a demo, it actually contained almost the entire game in a just-before-release, playable state (only a single world was unfinished). And all the HyperCard scripting was unlocked and viewable by the player.

Myst was amazing for its era, so of course, wanting to know how such a game was possible, I took full advantage of being able to read all of the HyperTalk code. And I'd be lying if I claimed I didn't use this access to "solve" a few of the more difficult puzzles. The times spent understanding and "hacking" Myst are among my fondest memories.

All of this led to me learning HyperCard and HyperTalk myself, and eventually moving on to CodeWarrior/C, Perl, PHP, Ruby, etc.

So thanks to Robyn and Rand Miller for the awesome memories. It had a huge impact on my life.

One of the changes was moving start times of high schoolers later, which often came at the expense of younger students who would've had to start earlier. In my neighborhood, having to put 5 year olds on the bus at 6am or earlier was a big cause for the uproar from parents.

Can you talk about how you made this tradeoff? There's research that suggests high schoolers do better with later start times. But is there any research that backs up doing it at the expense of younger students? ie, is it possible that all students benefit from a later start time?
Having read it, I thought there would be more to it. I don’t see enough to either agree or disagree with. That document is so vague and open to interpretation. Essentially only one part seems to be the meat:

> Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

That’s it. If it’s acceptable to the maintainers, it’s acceptable. If it’s unacceptable to the maintainers, it’s not.
I did not see much value over the standard documentation or the referenced blog post in this blog post at hand.
1. I don't have unlimited data. I pay for usage so I tend to download podcasts and music before I leave the house to save money.

My bad if I replied to the wrong post. The indentations are quite small ony phone, so I may have goofed. My apologies.
Make Chrome 69 Great Again
Correct, MarkMonitor is a _huge_ business. Alphabet has had an account there for much longer than they have been a Registrar under Google name.
Totes agree. Also, customers are humans. They don't want to be handed a perfect product. They want to be involved in the process. Make dumb decisions. Complain. Receive bugfixes. Repeat.

I don't know. Maybe I'm jaded, but I think in B2B, good software is not even desired. In B2C, sure, as Apple proves, but not in B2B.
Atiyah obviously has a mental health problem. His purported proof of the Riemann Hypothesis should not be taken seriously. Other recent fiascos include his ludicrous claim of a 12 page proof of the Feit-Thompson Theorem, his asserted proof that there is no complex structure on the 6-sphere, and his talk at the ICM. Folks, these are not minor flubs. There is no resemblance to serious mathematics.

His past achievements are rightly celebrated. Most mathematicians recognize the situation and are respectfully trying to minimize the fuss.
If that were literally true, I would credit MTurk for saving lives! In reality, I'm guessing it's the least bad out of a few bad choices, or maybe incrementally added on top of other [under]employment. I'd personally call it consent. That doesn't mean we couldn't or shouldn't make other changes!
They're a reseller like everyone else. If I'm not mistaken they actually use eNom for customers buying domains on any of their platforms (though not for their own domains).
This solves the problem, but wipes 95% of the value of the device as a portable party trick.
That’s a little harsh. Having said that....

Zoho customer support is worse than useless. They’ll happily call you back only to tell you that they can’t help because it’s someone else you need to speak to. It’s a real shame because the Zoho product line is vast and with more focus it could be brilliant. But every part of it has little issues that will never get fixed because it feels like there’s nobody within the frontline staff seems to want to really understand.

EDIT that all sounds more negative than I wanted it to. I think Zoho should charge people more and offer the service to go with it all while fixing the niggles that make their products feel flakey.

I'm not sure. Not one person in the entire chrome team raised their hand and explained that some users expect their browser to firewall web pages from the browser itself and to keep neutrality and not privilege some (first party) web pages?

I'm currently thinking with a blue security mindset. I'm currently wondering if there is a difference between tracking an abstract attacker of my network, and tracking a person attacking my network.

Put in a blunt way - Looking at my logs, I am not trying to identify Mr William Butterscotch living at 22nd tower street, third floor, second door on the right. I'm trying to figure out if a set of IPs is actively scanning or ddos'ing my systems. Especially because these IPs might actually not be connected to any human at all - think of botnets just roaming the ipv4 space.
Yahoo now uses Bing. Yandex is basically indexed Russian pages.
