Most bugtrackers don't allow outright deletion of tickets. They allow closing them as invalid/irrelevant/offtopic or whatever tagging metadata that particular system allows, but they don't allow for deletion. There's a permanent public record and audit trail.

I feel that most of your comments are misdirected here. GitHub issues already allowed "+1" and other markers on the issue or its comments. That's not really germane to deleting an issue completely.

And regarding trackers being for maintainers, that's not strictly correct. They are for end use by maintainers durig the course of their work, but they are in many projects the interface between users and developers for officially reporting problems, including outright bugs to usability concerns and feature requests. Part of the unwritten contract here is that users will use the system for its intended purpose. But the other side is that developers will take that feedback seriously and use it appropriately. Censoring by deletion is a rather dramatic change, and not one I'm sure is for the best. There have been many instances where unprofessional behaviour has been visible because of the public audit trail, as well as where controversial issues have been openly discussed. Allowing any dissenting opinions to be silenced is not necessarily for the greater good.
I think the redesigns in that article demonstrate why most websites look the same.

Let's do a test. Go to a bookshop and buy a novel. Now go to a different bookshop, and buy a different novel from a different writer and a different publisher. Read them. Chances are they're going to look very similar. Different cover maybe, but inside, mostly black letters in an unobtrusive font on a white page with sensible margins. No decorations or illustrations, nothing at weird angles or sizes. They all use the form that's efficient at transferring the content, the story, to your head.

Some web sites are about their design, but most are about the content they present, and they want to present that content in an efficient manner. A design that distracts from the content is not practical.
> As LitFan said - it's the same reason cars and smartphones tend to look the same as well.

I agree, but for a different reason: they're all following the same design fads and/or using the same frameworks, which make certain designs "easier" than others. The content of the fads or the defaults aren't necessarily the most effective or functional for the particular use-case.

The Mongo Linq driver is excellent. It’s not exactly an ORM, but it does let you work with strongly type collections and the queries it produces are pretty good.

There was also another Linq/ORM I used back in the day for Postgres. I can’t remember the name of it.

Innovating by making new cars. Just like Apple is innovating by making new iPhones new laptops and new iPads. Have you seen the new iPad Pro? It’s a beast that almost deserves a new catagory all for itself. Yet people say Apple has stopped innovating because it’s “just another iPad” which is my point exactly.

If there is a palm oil-related item that is being voted on the ad may be thought to be supporting one side of that issue. It looks to me like it is advocating for education and conscientious consumption rather than a purely political message. This underscores the problem with the government being allowed to censor anything at all: it only works if the government is truly acting in the peoples' best interests. Historically that has tended not to be the case.
I just inherited a .Net core app that was a proof of concept. It's a real pot luck of glued together functionality. I remember working in MS ASP land almost 2 decades ago and I swore I wouldn't invest a single minute learning another proprietary MS technology.

I by and large held to that but here I sit, banging away at some C# code. This is day 3. Did you know if you specify a path in JSON and apply it to Use app.UseStaticFiles with a single trailing slash, instead of a double, it'll bring down the .Net kernel in flames.

Not confidence inspiring in the least.
Making Of: Red Bull X Robyn Secret Gig Campaign
This actually happened to me before I started my current job. I was leaving a senior-level role as a .NET developer, and was moving over to be a standard-level developer in Ruby and Python. I left mid-way through November, thanks to a ton of holiday I had booked for Christmas, and decided to join in January instead of at a time when everything winds down in a lot of companies.

My Python knowledge was non-existent, so I spent most of my time sleeping in, and working my way through a set of Python books. I worked through Learn Python The Hard Way, and Data Structures and Algorithms in Python, and although I've not done much Python this year it gave me the best of both worlds. I was able to relax through the two months off, but keep my mind in code and get over the initial impostor syndrome I'd get from joining an established team with zero experience of their tools in anger.

Frankly, I still feel like my Ruby and Python skills are beginner-level, at best, but those two months helped me hit the ground running at my new job, and nearly a year later I've come to appreciate different languages as similar in many ways. I feel that I can start a new non-trivial project and (if given enough time) I can write working code in either to achieve a task - something I didn't feel before, which I put down to the two months holiday I took.
I'm not talking about direct use of fMRI, but rather that some mental health experts are so laser-focused on the problem of untreated mental illness (not without reason, it should be said) that they argue for widely deploying interventions merely because those interventions are supposed to work rather than because they're demonstrated to work.

> Making whitespace-sensitive syntax, like in Python & Haskell, optional syntactic sugar for explicit brackets & separators.

Interesting question. A few years ago, I worked with a blind mathematician. I was an undergraduate T.A. and he was the main T.A. of the course. He used the screen reader a lot. In particular, he has the list of exercise in LaTeX. We read aloud the grades of the students and he wrote them in the Excel form.

I don't remember him using a programming language (excluding LaTeX). The indentation looks like a difficult problem, even if the language has explicit brackets. Does the screen reader say "Tab Tab print ten semicolon"? Does it ignore the indentation? Spaces vs tabs? ...

Do you have some group of blind programmers that you can ask about their current setup?

InvoiceOcean Sails onto the UK
We are proud to launch the United Kingdom branch of our Invoicing services with a brand new UK-tailored version of our SaaS software while serving the invoicing needs the UK. InvoiceOcean/Fakturownia has been around for around five years in Poland where we became a leader serving more than 400,000 domestic companies. We started to expand internationally in a more meaningful way in 2014.

The British market has been a tough nut to crack because it differs in ways from the mainland EU market in terms of invoicing and overall trade, particularly as Britain’s post-BREXIT future is still somewhat uncertain. However, with our diligent research and coming to terms with the market needs in the UK, we decided now is the right time to launch. We have researched the British tax system and included the various possible VAT rates you have at your disposal as well as various aspects of British commerce to take into consideration.

Digital invoicing, also known as eInvoicing, however, is the future and the EU is paving the way in this regard because invoicing in the public sector will switch entirely to eInvoicing entirely by 2020. It is also a much more efficient, quick and cost-effective way to function than relying on traditional paper invoicing, which can be lost, mismanaged or discarded while requiring more trees to be cut down.

Our system, however is much more than just invoicing. We offer warehouse management from within our SaaS portal and a wide range of documents our users can create from within their dashboard. They can also add additional users, accountants and coworkers with various privileges and create more than just standard invoicing.

Our vision is to provide a secure and safe invoicing solution for your needs no matter what type of entrepreneur you are or the size of your business. We are running as SaaS, thus you can log into our invoicing and warehouse management platform across any device. Take a look and sign up for a free 30-day trial today!
That does make more sense than the size thing. Still wish Apple didn't do it, but that's a better excuse.

One problem is that “zero-rating” isn't as well defined as network neutrality and there are two forms of service we see:

1. Network operators exempting an entire class of service, such as T-Mobile's “Music Freedom” which has the same terms for everyone who applies
2. Network operators accepting money from specific service providers to exempt only those services, such as the Facebook-only service offered in some parts of the world

Most people consider the second form a problem since it heavily favors large companies, especially since a less-favored company doesn't even have the guarantee of being able to reach a deal at all, but opinions vary more about the first and a lot of advocates have either inadvertently or deliberately confused the issue. I'm choosing to see that advocacy as well-intended but I think it's alienated a lot of people who really don't see a problem with the first form (at least as long as it's really open) but would agree to bans on the second.
You are absolutely right, we shall soon make a video for that scenario. For now we just bail if the device has less than 400x600 pixels "big" viewport, and if the "zoom" property is not supported. The demo would actually work fine but we feel the ux becomes too awkward :/
No what exactly? That poorly-run airlines are based in poorly-run countries is not a surprise, nor does it address the claim that "authoritarian corruption is why this plain crashed", unless you think that every country not on that list is not authoritarian.

FTFY: There's no inherent reason in "technology" that it has to amplify deficiencies in human nature. Our current tech likely does amplify human nature, but future or theoretical alternatives don't have to do the same.
> a few weeks later you hate the job

yes. and, to make matters a bit more confusing, any job can be made vile by extreme hours, rude/uncaring/mean co-workers, multiple bosses, unnecessary chaos and stress caused by an overprivileged unqualified manager, etc. so one needs to somehow see past all of that in order to figure out if one hates the job or this job
Same here. I signed up late last year and they used the same kind of credit bureau-based system that social security uses to verify your identity by asking questions about previous addresses, current mortgage or car loans, etc.

Maybe it would be good to also add in a postcard check where they send you a code to verify you have access to mail for the address anyway. Sure, a thief could too, but in that case there isn't much of an extra risk to informed delivery since you'd be compromised already.
By that logic, all websites should look like Facebook.

According to http://www.finaccord.com/documents/report_prospectus_automot...

“financial leasing (including hire purchase) is the dominant type of point-of-sale finance contract taken out by consumers in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and the UK, while loans (usually with no option to return the car) are preferred elsewhere”

But I don’t know how meaningful that is, given that some buyers will get loans elsewhere and some will not need financing at all.
That's what keyboard shortcuts were called in some systems like BeOS, early Windows and probably others. I would guess it's because they provide faster access to a feature or function than going through menus.
You can do it with anything. Analyze all the files in a directory, for instance. Do all the IO in parallel and merge the results at a central point. Some files might be corrupt or whatever. Merge the results at a central point. Only then present them to the user in a sensible order.

A real life example: Asynchronous webservers usually have worker threads for I/O. I/O errors need to be routed to the originators of the I/O requests (which are in other threads). Exceptions cannot do that.

Here's the general point: Whether any given thing is an "Error" is highly subjective and context dependent. But clearly the error is data, so why take away the possibility to process it like any other data?

There is evidence to support one side of issues such as climate change. Those issues are very different from issues such as abortion or marriage equality that require an examination of one's views of morality and the role of government.

Your comment seems intentionally obtuse.
Interesting, I wonder if we'll see more of this as GE consolidates and if this means a further phase out of GE Digital under the new CEO
I went to a "meet the senior managers" public feedback event at the BBC a few years ago. The Chairman, Director General, controller of BBC 1 and a few other top level people were there to hear the views of the public.

They were repeatedly, in turn, accused of being both pro-Israel/anti-Palestine and anti-Israel/pro-Palestine by various audience members, each using their own cherry-picked examples.

If you can attract that level of criticism from both sides of the argument, I think you can lay a reasonable claim to being fairly neutral. They certainly weren't "clearly" anti-Israel to some people.
Whoops! Didn't mean to say fiancee is looking to pursue law. I am.

Definitely worse for the work/life balance metric. But I think it is unfair to yourself if you seek careers based on how little or how much you work. Sometimes you are just looking for something fulfilling. It is the problematic misc/admin problems surrounding the cool stuff that cause you to lose your passion. Like knowing the dismal outcome of a work beforehand, but having to do it anyway without success because someone else said so.

A forgotten rule for me: Know your [unique] strengths, Find your fit, Swing hard at the pitches, and serve the community with what God gave you as uniquely yours because that is your duty. But don't forget everything else you have to do too (this causes a natural work/life balance).
I was dumbfounded by the attitude of some of the medical personnel I had to deal with when I was once randomly bitten by a stray dog. After I demanded to be vaccinated at the emergency room they finally gave in but their attitude was "the dog lives in the city, it doesn't interact with wildlife so you're most likely fine". I told them 'most likely' doesn't make the cut for me when we're talking about a disease with a mortality rate at 100%.

There's actually an experimental treatment for rabies that can be administered if post-exposure prophylaxis fails (called the "Milwaukee Protocol"). It involves a drug-induced coma followed by a cocktail of antivirals, and the success rate is around 20% in the best case (n.b. the sample size for the study that figure was 10).

Not that it would have helped here, when the diagnosis came at such a late stage.

The case report for the patient treatment that pioneered the Milwaukee Protocol—the first-ever successful treatment of a rabies patient—is worth a skim, if you're into this sort of thing.

There was also a fatal case in Virginia this year, a woman who contracted the disease while traveling in India.

I really hope someone could figure it out if Mac mini with the i3-8100B CPU can work with ECC memory. According to Intel the CPU is ECC-capable, but I’m not sure about the mobo. If it works with ECC, it would be a truly mini Mac Pro.

The higher-end configs with i5 and i7 CPU are not ECC-capable, only the entry-level i3 CPU is ECC-capable.
It's nice you enjoy learning on github; just be aware it's another data silo that blocks indie search crawlers [1].

One "application" (in quotes because honestly for all the fanfare I haven't come across something that was worked out to be usable by non-specialists) is automatic differentiation, see http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/09/practical-synthetic-different...

Generally speaking, the ability to extended intuionistic mathematics by new axioms that are classically inconsistent is a bit of a misnomer. The real power is that these "axioms" allow you to easily and immediately specialize the generic language of intuionistic mathematics into a domain-specific language for various areas.

So that

1. adding the continuity axiom gives you a domain-specific language which can only describe continuous functions and no others

2. adding the differentiation axiom gives you a domain-specific language called synthetic differential geometry in which you can only talk about differentiable functions

3. adding the computability axiom gives you a domain-specific language in which you can only talk about computable functions.

4. adding the law of the excluded middle gives you the domain-specific language of classical mathematics.

Now, each of the first three can also be interpreted within classical mathematics (which is how we know the extensions are consistent with classical mathematics), but that's analogous to writing an interpreter in C versus merely adding new syntax to an existing language (e.g. how DSLs can be implemented in LISP).
