I remember a boss not so long ago, similar age. Started having a rant about a woman that was emailing him, flirting with him. I realised it was some kind of phishing thing. He just took it at face value.
He wasn't naïve, and had all his faculties, so it really stuck out.

Maybe its like country bumpkins without street smarts, maybe they just havent learned the defenses needed?
I know a guy that is half that age and did a similar process. Not from professor though but from someone who does random jobs. So having consumed all this fake stuff - which at the time seemed at best stupid and boring - he is now active in alt right like movements. One prequesite for this was probably also some degree of isolation.
The current biggest threat to Free and Open Source software is cloud computing. Plain and simple.[0]

I know this is a blunt and harsh statement to make, but when you sell a service, you have zero native incentives to Open Source the way your system works. It just opens up Competition. This is not unique to AWS/Amazon. But their success gives them the power to have wide OSS damage.

This is, to me, the biggest reason why cloud portability should be something that every customer of a cloud service should have in their plans. Amazon as a company has shown no timidness in both "embracing, extending, extinguishing" their competition.

OSS literally built the internet and opened up the wold wild communication age, let's not be so short sighted that we don't see proliferation of cloud services ( specifically one having so much dominance), for what it really is.

That data happens to take the form of human input. In that case the different ways in which participants choose to enter their address is part of what you are collecting. It does not suggest that the data is raw or dirty, you just gathered superfluous information as a side effect of your methodology. I think it is better described as overly complicated.

If the problem were the opposite it would also make sense to say that the data is too simple rather than too clean. That gets to what the article is saying; that all data collection is inherently biased.
Ok, in hindsight the answer to this question was obvious: It's one of the industry standards and those are pretty much needed to get a job in game dev.

What I don't get is why not take the time to learn a tool that is won't betray you for your own indie projects? Sure, it takes more time than using what you already know but IMO it's worth it any day. I wouldn't wanna put my hard work at risk of being destroyed overnight by some big tech corporation.

(That's just my opinion though, if you're a passionate Unity user and these concerns don't matter to you, that's fine.)
Interesting that you chose cats as your example, as they are a predator animal that kills for sport. My cats have killed many mice, but I've never seen them consume one - they much prefer their food bowls.

Cats are instinctively driven to hunt and kill, even when they have no need or desire for sustenance. They enjoy it.
Maybe more people are realizing that not having children offers an equally valid life experience? I chose not to have children since I'd rather spend what time I have in life concentrating on me and my wife's happiness, not a child that didn't choose to be brought into an uncertain world. The financial benefits are obvious as well, despite the government subsidies on having a child that I miss out on (and pay for).
Yet VC++ offers much better tooling, including pre-compiled headers, incremental compilation and linking, experimental support for modules, C++ friendly OS APIs, and a package manager actually written in C++.
Ha, yeah, thanks. Updated. This article went through a lot of iterations so make it sound least rant-y, so I had a lot of botched copy-paste.
Post-mortems: A collection of postmortems
Evolution produces random features, which remain as long as you survive and reproduce.

So you may get totally ornamental or vestigial or obsolete features simply because they were never enough hindrance to reproduction. "Enough" is a key word - even features which are hindrances but do not offset pro-survival/pro-reproduction features will remain.
There are definitely cases in which the possible values are ennumerable and known. I’m thinking more about situations in which a many-to-one relation, or other ambiguity is attempted to be collected. Such as coming across multiple values in a race/gender field in a police interaction database because multiple officers were involved. My problem with using “dirty” is that it is so ambiguous as to encompass relatively simple issues that can be translated via a lookup table, as well as messiness that actually reflects the messiness of the reality beyond the input form’s common case. In the latter case, there isn’t a “clean” situation as much as there is a rethinking of what you thought you were measuring.

WTF? Are you talking about Android? The user does not even interact with the init system on Android at all, what are you even talking about?

It's not "systemd propaganda" that has been effective, it's the anti-systemd propaganda that seems to get dumber every time I see it.

This is what scares me. Venezuela was doing "alright" (relatively of course, their economy was too dependent on oil) but chose a path of totalitarianism / Chávez's without apparent fraud ... some people chose this path. And no matter how much deeper a hole they dig, the folks in power manage to dig deeper... still supported by a good chunk of people.

I know people with masters and doctorate level of education in medical and chemistry and other highly technical fields who believe in UFOs, creationism (the 10,000 year old Earth variety), among other things (I even once met a physicist who thought everything about quantum mechanics was bunk and classical mechanics could explain everything). And I'm by no means alone in that. So that may be anecdotal experience, but enough anecdotal experiences among enough people... So I don't think education means what you think it means. That is, it really is about an ideological test, the assumption by certain people being that education, for one reason or another, is selecting specific traits or inculcating certain traits that happen to be the same traits that any given person in such a position, such as yourself, think are somehow common among that group and that should somehow bestow a privilege greater than they do. It all comes down to that better decisions are the decision I agree with, whoever the I in any given instance is.
Hopefully some of the Unity exodus helps Godot along with more contributors.
For youtube, I recommend ChessNetwork. He's a self taught GM that explains his thoughts as he plays. He also has a beginners series to get you in the proper mindset. Really good guy, but a bit mysterious...

For actual playing I recommend something fast like 3min/0increment or 2/1. It kinda of resembles a video game at that point, where your knowledge and speed is helpful, you get to play a lot of games since they're short, and you don't have to live with your mistakes for very long if you mess up

That's is absolutely untrue. The reason you think that is because your pre-existing bias disagrees with them.

I love reading postmortems. They're educational, but unlike most educational docs, they tell an entertaining story. I've spent a decent chunk of time reading postmortems at both Google and Microsoft. I haven't done any kind of formal analysis on the most common causes of bad failures (yet), but there are a handful of postmortem patterns that I keep seeing over and over again.
For anyone who just wants a system that works, and doesn't require whizzy animations all over the place, try Lubuntu.

I've been using it for a while and it simply gets out of your way and just let's you get on with things. Best operating system I've used till date for development.
On MacOS the keybindings are configurable via DefaultKeyBindings.dict file. Emacs by default, but I use Vim like key maps. Most important, these settings propagate to all 3rd party apps that use the built-in text UI components. You simply need to restart the app, not the whole system. It’s very powerful.
2019 Predictions: Enterprise AR Inches Forward
For me there are multiple issues that point toward Linux
- Linux has gotten better
- I have two older Macs, an iMac and a 2012 MacBook. The usability of MacOs on these is worse with every new version of the Mac OS
- I have no confidence in new Apple hardware. They seem to be focused on customers who will buy things with a much higher cost to benefit ratio than I can afford. I have doubts that Apple will even continue to support Mac's.
- Apple feels like the new Windows to me, and we all know how well that went. I do not see the kind of user focused innovation that was their trademark.
- Other than movies, music, web development, email and browsing I find myself using my doing less and less with my computers
- My experience with all of those functions has frustration creep perhaps because my hardware is old. But then again, can't Apple support older harder?

Sorry if I descended into a tirade, but the net result is
- I love my 2012 MacBook and will probably keep it.
- I'm looking to see if I can run linux on my 2013 iMac.
- I am trying to find inexpensive hardware (laptop or desktop) as a development machine.
I see lots of advice online to just use the kernel driver for AMD cards these days, but in my experience it is slow. On some of my machines it benchmarks slower than the Intel graphics. In other cases it is faster, but only by about 50% or so. It is disappointing. I still tend to prefer nVidia graphics when I'm building my own systems because even if the driver is a big binary blob it does work.

Scrutiny requires criticality.
I did a Google search for "hacker news ruby" and "hacker news python" and then searched the top results for "gem" or "egg" or "wheel" usage. It's not a big study, but it is empirical.

Comments about Ruby say:

- "the webpacker gem"
- "Simple to integrate gems"
- "supported via gems"
- "few dozen obscure gems"
- "the I18n gem"
- "the ruby-each-line gem"
- "vast amount of Ruby gems available"
- "working with so many gems"

Comments about Python say:

- "packaged either as a Wheel or an Egg"
- "The numpy module is a wheel"
- "a wheel is specifically not a source distribution"
- "NumPy publishes a lot of wheels for a given release"

All those Python related comments are from one single comment who's author was discussing the technical differences between Eggs and Wheels as packaging formats. Arguably only the last Python comment uses "wheel" as a synonym for "package" or "library".

I also liked how "risk taking" was in the toxic group, while "courage" was seen as a positive. Right alongside "leadership".

So, be courageous and lead, but don't do things that require courage or put you in a position of leadership.
You could use the same argument to disparage any technological innovation. Computers? Our ancestors did just fine without them and so do many people across the world to this day. But more ridiculous than that is your listing of Solaris and Android as systems without systemd. Solaris uses SMF which was one of the inspirations for systemd. SMF is much closer in spirit to systemd than it is to sysvinit or rc. The particular merits of systemd or bash scripts aside, using SMF as an argument for the later is just ignorant. Furthermore, even though Android doesn't use systemd, software written for Android is written in such a way that it doesn't interact with the init system at all. The typical user/admin has no access to the init system. I have no specific knowledge of ChromeOS but I suspect it is much like Android in this regard. The only example that really works for you are the BSDs.
I have a hard time with people who believe everything in life is a competition. At work, they have to get ahead. At home, they still have to get ahead. When they eat breakfast, they have to do it better than you. We need to teach people to work towards society's ends, rather than their own.
On a side note, PSA: do not commit your AWS keys into github. Also, now you have the ability to make your repos private. Head over and do it now.
The whole point of SpatialOS is that it executes Unity runtime in the cloud. You create regular unity objects and they execute somewhere in the cloud.
To be fair though, this is mostly a setup problem. There are a lot of people who only need a personal computer to use a browser. I've switched my father & stepfather over to Linux mint, and the amount of tech support is actually lower than when one was on Mac and one was on windows. I think the big issue is that Linux isn't pre-installed. That, and there are programs that won't work (my mother is still on win10 due to MS Office).

Remember, most people aren't software devs, and have very different concerns. And increasingly there are more and more people who don't even own a proper computer, since a smartphone will suffice for their needs.

This line switched me off too.

'Survival' means genes being present in future generations. If all the females suddenly preferred males with a certain weird beak shape - that beak shape would propagate.

The opposing pressure would be how much other aspects of life would reduce the opportunities weird beak males had to breed.
Last time I hooked up my Linux laptop to a projector it fired up the screen just fine. I didn't even have to hit some magic key combo to turn it on.

> I just rolled out Confluence a couple of weeks ago after really struggling to find a better option.

When you take into consideration price AND maturity AND feature set it's honestly hard to beat. I tried lots of open source Wikis and all of them lack significant amounts of polish and/or features. Confluence at least resembles a mature solution that mostly covers all the bases. And if you're a small (very small) business or just doing a personal/family Wiki, $10 per year for all that can't be beat.
It's more vague without it.

After all, you can distribute the runtime to customers. You can run the editor as a developer.

I'd love a used Range Rover but my god, when I see one I cannot understand how the hell anyone manages to keep them on the road - Doug DeMuro made some amusing videos about the massive costs imposed on the company behind his extended warranty for a Range Rover, as I recall eventually prompting the company to stop offering warranties on used Range Rovers entirely!

As someone that would love to drive a car built in Britain by a British owned company it's a real shame I've so little choice - apparently only Morgan, Caterham and McClaren, so not really perfect for comfortable or affordable motorway journeys.

Edit: also apparently Westfield, Bristol, Ariel, Noble, Ginetta, TVR and a few other very niche manufacturers.
So would (self) pursuit of being physically attractive (high muscle mass / low body fat) and intelligence (eventually leading to earning power to support yourself and a family) equate to "eschewal of the appearance of weakness"?

I'd like to hear the APA's answer to this.
> “traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.

This really sounds like an attack on masculinity. One must never forget, the age of information with all it's flaws and good was brought upon the back of a structure who's main building block atleast in terms of values were masculine values which I think is independent of gender/sex
USB-C definitely seems like the way forward. But we're in a weird in-between state where it's not fully supported by the ecosystem yet.

USB-C support on Linux is still pretty odd. If I disconnect my displays from USB-C and then re-connect them, Wayland treats them as new displays, ie. disconnecting DP-1 and reconnecting it turns it into DP-2, etc.
I call BS on their assessment. #MeToo bandwagon.

Like it or not, men and women are NOT (edited omission) built the same way, and that includes more than just their private parts. What's harmful, aggression for example, can be dealt with without calling the entire masculinity harmful. The rest (stoicism, competitiveness, dominance) is what helps drive humanity ahead
>none of my voting decisions were changing as a result. I examined voting decisions I'd made going back to 2016 and realized none of them were materially changed by watching the news...

???

Why would a voting decision change based on what you see on the news? Your senator or representative has little to do with the guy who killed his kids and wife last night.

WATCHING news will only get you the extreme stuff. That's how they keep eyeballs. For instance, we know a lot more about Kashoggi than we know about the prime minister that MBS kidnapped. That's because, as horrible as this may sound, the Kashoggi story had more "sizzle" for lack of a better term. This even though the prime minister being kidnapped actually did more to upset the global order.
