To add to the other replies - you quickly find the utility of error codes when working on a product that ships in many different languages. Diagnosing a bug report from, say, a Chinese user can be a lot easier if the screenshot with the error message also has the code in it somewhere.
They assumed technology would not improve to make other sources which were previously un-economical to extract economical.
The word you should use to the merchant is chargeback. They should sit-up straight at that word, if not, just goto your credit card company.
Yeah I don't recommend `postinstall`, but `prepare` (and all the potential build-type scripts it could run) is actually useful (esp. for allowing people to install from unpublished versions via git), and would need special consideration. :(
I got some open source hardware recently and I wanted to upgrade it. For the first time I felt the joy of reading a schematic to work out which configuration the board is wired in so I can get the correct part.

I think right to repair, open source hardware and 3d printers are going to be critical if we hope to turn around our throwaway society. It makes me so sad to see average people throwing out perfectly fine electronics because the OEM stopped supporting them or the battery got old.

A few of the people in this thread are suggesting that you should simply not buy these bad devices but the fact is unless everyone stops there is no hope for the environment.
Nobody knowledgeable in geology ever thought peak oil was an issue. Simply put, prices rose quickly in those days because there wasn't enough oil being drilled for the demand. Oil prices are highly inelastic, so prices rose considerably until more supply came in through new conventional and non-conventional drilling. There's loads of oil in the ground for the right price (but for God's sake, we should leave as much there as possible).
Many comments here are about how the AI information advantage (seeing the whole map at once sans fog of war except the last game; seeing exact unit stats like health etc) leads to higher APM-value, whether APM itself is higher or each Action is more meaningful, and discussing different ways to nerf it to bring it down to a human level.

I'm more interested in the limits that an AI could be pushed to vs humans, and if humans can't match the AI's APM, just add more humans until they can. E.g. 1v7 would allow humans to manage multiple disparate flanks at once just like an AI, and still leave someone to free to manage macro play etc that suffers when a human focuses on micro.
So all they really proved is computers are faster then humans. I knew that before this started.

The Deepmind team knows the challenge isn’t to beat humans at Starcraft. That is trivially easy with the advantages you mentioned. The challenge is to be better at strategy then a human. That is why they tried to add artificial rules to make the AI have similar physical limitations to a human (emulated mouse, rate limited actions, emulated screen and visibility). There have been micro AI bots for years that could out preform any human. They knew they weren’t just trying to build another micro bot, because if they were it wouldn’t be much of an accomplishment.
Private repos on Docker Hub is definitely a product, especially if you provide a seamless path for moving from source code on GitHub to images on Docker Hub to containers deployed in the cloud or on premise.

MS could certainly also do good business selling Docker's friendly Enterprise orchestration tools (including their new Kubernetes based tool) which check all the Enterprise requirements for security, policy, identity management etc.
A Pew study released last week showed that (among other things) 74% of Facebook users did not know Facebook was maintaining a list of their interests/traits, 51% were uncomfortable with it, and 27% felt the list was inaccurate: http://www.pewinternet.org/2019/01/16/facebook-algorithms-an...
> if your application is popular and used by devs

I'd argue even if it's not popular and it's used by non-devs.

Error codes saved our support people a ton of time when trying to understand user problems. It's good for the user to be able to understand the problem, but it's great when they can call you up or send a ticket in about error "E4882", and you instantly have a good amount of information about the problem.
There are type systems that don't have anything like "any" - you find that in languages like OCaml or Haskell.

But in TS, the main reason for "any" is interop with JS.

Yep. It's just frustrating seeing anti-union propaganda repeated, uncritically, unthinkingly, year after year, especially on a forum where people pride themselves on being thoughtful people.

Of course unions can be corrupt, but the only thing more corrupt than a union is management.

Looks like a classic non answer to me:

"Some worry that ads create a misalignment of interests between us and people who use our services. I’m often asked if we have an incentive to increase engagement on Facebook because that creates more advertising real estate, even if it’s not in people’s best interests.

We’re very focused on helping people share and connect more, because the purpose of our service is to help people stay in touch with family, friends and communities. But from a business perspective, it’s important that their time is well spent, or they won’t use our services as much over the long term. Clickbait and other junk may drive engagement in the near term, but it would be foolish for us to show this intentionally, because it’s not what people want."

So are you NOT showing that? Seems like FB has the outrage non-story click baits to drive the short term engagement with the "it's the ONLY place where my friends and family communicate" for long term.

EDIT: He says the automated removal can't catch everything. in the following paragraph.

Great, then remove the newsfeed until it can be AI cleaned to NON society destroying levels. Will definitely remove that short term engagement Zuck says he doesn't care about.
What are the games that, so far, still look like they will be too difficult for ML to play them at the highest level? I know Go was held to be this kind of game for a long time and is now close to being dominated by AI. Magic: the gathering perhaps?
I am shocked that some people are still influenced by online ads. I mentally blocked them and I almost always make informed buying decisions based off of evidence/data.
> How big do I have to be for Oracle come after me

Depends on Oracle balance sheet that quarter. Or if they have sold/licensed the patents to other trolls.
You know something, even if some of the proposed legislation does amount to a limitation on design for mass market products, I think that’s actually fine.

They’re not specifying a type of screw. They’re just saying to use screws instead of glue, make a product possible to disassemble and reassemble without causing it to necessarily break on disassembly.

I’m not hugely in love with the idea of placing legal limitations on designers, but we’re taking about mass market consumer and commercial goods, generally measured in at a minimum, thousands produced and hopefully sold. They’re manufactured in factories that at their best are barely better than sweatshops in countries where the workers have fewer rights and lower wages and sold to people with more money, rights and priveleges. Jony Ive might not be happy if he has to modify his designs to meet a legislative mandate, but I just don’t care. The factories aren’t going to care, they’ll accommodate any change they have to. The factory workers aren’t going to care if they using screws or glue. Customers are going to care then if they can replace their widgets for a lot less money than it takes to buy a new widget. I know I’ll care about that, and I’ll look back with disdain on those few times I simply couldn’t get something repaired and had to replace it.

The market being full of disposable shit sucks. I have plates, ceramic dinnerware, silverware, glassware, cast iron pans and pots that I would like to some day pass on to my descendants because why not? They can sell it on to someone who needs it more, use it themselves, maybe if one breaks it can become part of a mosaic or something nice. I can’t think of a single electronic I own that might, might, serve some useful purpose, and even appliances with the additional and often unnecessary silicon in them are iffy.

If right to repair laws can change the status quo, I am all for that. If that means I’m not doing my part to inflate the economy with higher numbers by wasting more money to more companies to inflate their numbers for shit that will break in an unreasonably short amount of time relative to my lifetime, I think I can live with myself.
If you have a small child, then just leaving the house to run an errand is an entire ordeal (esp if baby is sleeping right now). It's worth paying some non-trivial amount of money to avoid running errands. If you're also lower socio-economic class, then that leaves the only food you can afford being fast food.

People love to talk about these services as if they're only for young, single, hipsters but a significant portion of their use come from people with some kind of life limitation (same as the Whole Foods peeled oranges in a plastic box that people love to make fun of. These are a godsend for people with poor motor skills).
That actually describes the situation pretty well.
Coming from zero Jekyll experience: I've spent about a dozen hours with Hugo, and I still have an incredible number of problems with it.

When it works it's quite nice, and the live-reloading is cool. I can totally understand why people like it.

But it falls apart all the time on small mistakes, doesn't tell you when it does so, and doesn't tell you why it's failing to find anything at all simply because you entered a non-existent config value in the borderline-undocumented themes that refer to old config setups or just have copied Jekyll instructions. I've spent about half the time changing config or text and wondering why it wasn't updating, only to discover that the reloading was broken or that I had to delete some earlier-built stuff that it didn't detect needed changing. It has driven me away at least twice, and I still don't know how to find out what went wrong (much less what I need to do to fix it) when I break it.

I've actually been seriously considering switching to Jekyll just to see if it'd be more helpful for learning.

This, on the other hand, has a couple interpolation markers and everything else would be defined up-front. I can figure that out in a few minutes and probably use it correctly forever after.
Oracle bought Sun, the company that created Java. Android was designed in such a way that code written for the Java Virtual Machine could run on it without modification, though the implementation itself is totally original. Oracle is claiming that even the set of vocabulary used by Java programs to talk to the JVM - not just the JVM itself - is copyrighted. This vocabulary is otherwise known as an API. APIs live between every piece of software and every other piece of software it talks to. If the precedent was set that you could copyright an API, it would be a catastrophe for people's ability to build software on other software.
It's a bit different from that. Any developer who writes a big chunk of the Java API violates their copyright. It's the API as a whole, not one method in it.

It's still insane, in my view...
And where does it end? When the whole world is buying a new iphone every year what do they do next? Release one every month? Force disable older iphones?
I'm not saying that fruits and vegetables are unhealthy per se, but that their benefits have been vastly overstated, especially for fruits. Triply so for juice, which is basically the same as soda.

Saturated fat is good for you, the pop science you've been fed about saturated fat is complete garbage. Sure, saturated fat increases "bad" cholesterol, LDL. Unfortunately it turns out there are two types of LDL, only one of which is actually correlated with heart attacks. Turns out cutting out saturated fat from your diet might drop your LDL, but it also reduces expected lifespan. Oops! You could also take Statins for those "dangerous" levels of LDL, but it turns out they do nothing to improve your all-cause mortality stats unless if you fall within a narrow portion of the population.

It's only a tailspin because you've been fed garbage information about food your whole life. But given the absolute catastrophic state of public health within the United States, I'm genuinely surprised that anyone listens to the official health guides at all.
Even with wasm, much as I'm looking forward to the Great JS Purge personally, it's not going to happen anytime soon - too much existing code and devices. JS will remain necessary on the front-end for at least another decade, and probably beyond that. So TS will still be necessary to make the pill less bitter.
Example solutions that wouldn't result in a massive customer drop-off though? The average person isn't going to set up 2FA or remember a randomly generated password just for a food delivery website.
And here is the irony.

Money-as-a-service (banks) give you the power to do this. But dependence on anything-else-as-a-service gives the provider power to make you think twice.
How many projects would be affected if the Supreme Court sides with Oracle and rules that APIs can't be reimplemented?

Java is open source, but copyright is retained by Oracle. Would this affect say, Amazon's ability to rip off the MongoDB API? What about open source x86 emulators? (Intel IP) Hercules IBM emulator? Any of the Nintendo, SNES etc game emulators?
It really doesn't matter that their intention is not to host clickbait and "junk". His platform (like other global, everyone to everyone network) predictably attracts this kind of content, and they are responsible for filtering it out.
The analogy works if there's only one gun and I was offered it in an auction. I turned it down despite knowing you're very keen on robberies and in my neighbourhood. And I heard you're keen on buying it.

I kept the money and now you're using the gun to get the money I saved.

If we had a second round, this time with a machine gun... What would you do?

I'm still cross with Google. At the time it seemed like the natural home for Java.
I've had problems on some servers where unattended-upgrades would install new kernel versions without removing the old ones, and ending up filling my /boot partition.
But there's the rub: they are claiming the API is copyrightable, not just the code that implements it. Independently coming up with the code is irrelevant if the API being (re)implemented is copyrightable.
That was more guessing than reverse engineering, no?

Saudi may make oil for less than $10, but they need prices to stay about $80 in order to sustain their massive internal subsidies.

it is a language issue
Professional. I'm an electrical engineer (not a developer), but I write plenty of code in various languages and we have lots of systems we support. I'm not sure what labels/tags are, but find the search seems to work extremely well regardless.

We have a query section that has dozens of queries broken up into use cases and each has a short description, so if someone spent a day writing a 2 page query, you can find and use it quick without digging around too much.

One thing that frustrates me is that the language support is super limited in some ways. Yea it has a fair amount of languages, but there are so many more and grabbing the syntax support from notepad++ can't be that hard for their devs. It isn't GitHub or anything, but if you need an easily assessible place for some utility scripts it is perfect as you can document the usage in much the same way as a Python notebook.
Neither. They got them bombed into rubble by the Allies.

Mind you, I'm not saying that they would have given their ill-gotten gains back to the exploited. I'm just saying what in fact happened.
Until he releases his tax records, we do not know if he is a "billionaire". Hopefully, they'll be released soon.
We will see. Saudi through OPEC keeps cutting supply to increase prices to maintain their margins/profit. I believe they went in a full price war with the US a few years ago which caused oil to reach record lows but then gave up?

I'm not really sure what their long term strategy is considering they keep reducing supply to raise prices while the US is soaking up that supply and their total profits have to be going down since oil prices are not increasing drastically while their production drops while still selling at the presumably the same margin.

a) the data wasn't breached through the credential stuffing attack, it was breached at an earlier time on another site.
b) the credential stuffing attack itself is authorized access (because from the site's perspective, the user provided the correct username and password), not unauthorized access.
On the one hand I feel bad for Google. On the other hand, if this is what ultimately ends the twin blights of Java and Oracle on our industry... so worth it.

well then you must be inhuman because subconscious bias plays a part in online advertising. sure you can mentally block them but eventually you will fatigue from the cognitive overhead.

> The yearly subscription costs the same in both cases,

Is this through in-app purchases? It would seem counterintuitive to let Apple take 30% from the yearly subscription if they've gotten away with distributing outside the app store for so long. (but they may have a special revenue share agreement)
That is true, but the current situation is simpler. Design for disassembly and repair is expensive, time consuming, and difficult. It is far easier to have robots slap components together. That is plenty of explanation for phones now shipping.
Obama's withdrawal from Libya was perfect, but for a few drone operators who seem to have lost their maps. We should do that again for Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Jordan, Niger, Somalia, Cameroon, Djibouti, Uganda, Tunisia, Ukraine, Georgia, etc.
Facebook's been ramping up their censorship of their users to an unbearable extent. Apart from losing control of the situation when it comes to peoples' data, they're also losing control of their attempts to purge their own platform of things Silicon Valley tech giants frown upon on their own platforms. "Getting Zucc'd" is an internet meme for a reason.

I have friends who got suspended from the platform for 30-some days for posting pictures of their children to their own profile. Just children, doing children stuff. Not naked, not doing anything wrong or illegal by anyone's moral standards. I myself got suspended for 7 days by posting a completely apolitical, non-offensive joke to a private group that their system deemed evil. And then caught another 30 day suspension when I posted a screenshot of my suspension to my friends to laugh at how stupid the situation was. I've had enough of it. As personal as the experience is, before it used to be that people who were getting suspended had very easily understandable reasons behind it: when someone posted stupid, edgy stuff and got punished for it then at least you knew why it happened and acknowledged that it was fair enough. I understand that this is all anecdotal, but nowadays it's been very common to see my active friends be on timeouts. Why?

Facebook does not offer one iota of support for their users, be it when they get banned or have issues on the platform that a human should see. You're not getting through, clicking the buttons does nothing. Just like Google.

I have a friend who unfortunately attracted the attention of a mentally ill stalker, she was harassed and threatened for months by this stalker and his friends, she almost ended up committing suicide due to this. Our circle of friends reported this person to Facebook and they deemed it to be completely acceptable and allowed it to continue.

Not even mentioning the whole psychological experimentation crap they were doing with the goal of keeping people glued to their platforms by any means necessary, even if it means driving them into depression.

When people look at Facebook and the things that have been leaking out into the world, people don't care for any excuses anymore. And it might not be fair but they're giving Facebook the treatment they received. Even if the media sensationalises the whole anti-Facebook thing, a lot of people resent it for a reason.

I simply contacted my friends, left them alternative ways of contacting me and requested that my account be deleted.

Happy birthday to Facebook, Mr. Zuckerberg. This is the 15th year of hollow excuses and empty, soulless explanations.

So here's something I've always wondered. If you use linux as a desktop/workstation in enterprise, how do you deploy it securely ? Other than chromeos, I don't see any other distro trying to tackle this. With all traditional distros, you'll likely need to give the user sudo on their machine to be productive (for eg., installing packages). However, all bets are off once you do that. You can restrict sudo to certain programs, but that also isn't very practical (for eg., sudo for yum is basically sudo for the whole system since you can install arbitrary packages). You can create a chromeos like system, but is there no interest in it ? There are some developments like fedora silverblue and nixos, but how is it that this has gone unsolved till now ?
