Cross Browser Testing is a type of functional test to check that your web application works as expected in different browsers. Web-based applications are totally different from Windows applications. A web application can be opened in any browser by the end user. For example, some people prefer to open http://twitter.com in Firefox browser, while other's can be using Chrome browser or IE.
risk for the individual is acceptable, and also preferred as it keeps the group strong in the long run. risks to the whole group should be avoided at all costs
| Wake up 2-3 hours earlier than usual and get plenty of outdoor light in the morning

| Eat breakfast as soon as possible

| Exercise only in the morning

| Have lunch at the same time every day and eat nothing after 19:00

| Banish caffeine after 15:00

| Have no naps after 16:00

| Go to bed 2-3 hours earlier than usual and limit light in the evenings

| Maintain the same sleep and wake times every day

So basically, stop being a night owl. Great advice.

What exactly is "wrong" about the article?

Linux's Overcommit behavior is non-obvious to many programmers. Its one of those issues that very few programmers I've come across in the workplace understand properly.

This blogpost properly understands the issues associated with Overcommit, and have done some preliminary investigations that describe the behavior. Its a really good blogpost.

The general point of the blogpost is that "Malloc Fails due to address space exhaustion more often than actual memory-exhaustion". Because actual memory exhaustion causes OOM killer code to be run... and OOM killer is a non-obvious case of the Linux kernel.
As a whole nearly 50% of all people in SV have a B.S. or higher and over 70% have some college experience; it's the third most educated place in the country.

There has been a very poor record of NHS and IT, at least for the last two decades i.e. the previous Labour government wasted £10bn+ and failed to provide any solutions. In the process, they alienated a range of medical professionals by creating a culture of mistrust towards the digital strategy[1]. In 2016, the 'WannaCry' ransomware attack, exposed the gaping holes in the system[2]. The current trend of rushing to give access to parts of the silo/NHS Spine to other providers like Babylon health et al., without due consideration or a debate, is another can of worms best left unopened.[3]

In the absence of any robust measures to safeguard data, it is right for the patients to be diligent and have a high degree of control over who gets access to their health data and opt-out while they still have a choice, as no explicit promises are provided by the NHS to keep your data confidential: use anonymised data whenever possible[4]

Not so surprising when you throw in enough boredom. This is the days when a pub had a dart board, pack of cards and a piano. Not a Steinway though, probably in dubious tune. Now add all that waiting on base or in camp for the mission to start, or the squadron scramble call to come. Add enough beer figure the entertainment out for yourself, then carrying the tune doesn't matter much any more. :)

There was a whole organisation devoted to entertaining personnel - ENSA in the UK - who produced shows, theatre, concerts etc, and often travelled to surprisingly near front lines everywhere the forces were, and included many famous names of the era. Course there were plenty of entertainers and stars conscripted too. There's still a modern equivalent that's organised live entertainment in the Falklands, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

I know the US has (or had) something similar, but I forget the name.

If that data is read-only then a fork()ed child process will share it just as efficiently as a thread would.

If your threads need to share interleaved modifications to some common state then that approach isn't viable. But in that case it will be very hard to "roll back"/"skip over" a failed request, as it's difficult to be confident that you haven't corrupted that shared data in a way that will cause the same problem for future requests.

So, if I understand correctly, the GPL prevents you from using a non-free library in your code? (Asking honestly: I have tried to find this elsewhere but the FSF page on the GPL is rather ... convoluted).

If that is so, then this is obviously a killer and quite seemingly arbitrary requirement. Your MS example is quite good.
Chrono Trigger was a really good old SNES RPG that had gameplay centered around time travel, where actions in one timeline affected outcomes in another. Not an adventure game, but it's something that your comment reminded me of.

The ticket only has an expected positive value return under certain limited circumstances, not all the time (i.e. when jackpot has not been won for a time). State is not losing money in total - just moving around the distribution of prizes, but the sum total remains constant.

If anyone would be losing money here, it would be a hypothetical winner of the jackpot - but as the jackpot is only redistributed when there is no such winner for some time...
Unfortunately, that only works well in the absence of threads. With multiple threads, the out-of-memory could have been caused by code in another thread allocating too much.

> They focused on "night owls", whose bodies drive them to stay up late into the night. The problem for many night owls is fitting into a nine-to-five world.

An alternative solution is to go ahead and live your life on the 25 or 26 hour cycle that your "night owl" body demands. You'll need to be single (or partnered with a similar night owl), have light-proof curtains or blinds, and work independently (or remotely for an accommodating company). And probably you'll want to live in a major urban area so you have access to 24-hour restaurants, supermarkets, and other resources when your constantly shifting day/night cycle leaves you awake at night.
The story of post-war magnetic tape recording is really really interesting. It dovetails into the history of silicon valley with the creation of AMPEX and all of the companies and engineers that sprung out of there.

Part of the reason you feel compelled to do all of that as a professional programmer is because you're facing intense competition from desperate people everywhere in the world. Skilled "tradesmen" aren't. There's a reason we do and they don't, but we dare not speak it's name.

I think they said they aren't using any more battery than they were using before.

Sure they could implement their software using less battery, but these Google warnings could apply to anything. This app could perform better. This app could be smaller. This app could have less bugs.

The only thing that they can't say is: "This app could be more secure."
Wow.

When we started Graphistry, our view was, "skate to where the puck is going", so while we saw Looker and Periscope burning sales/marketing/dev $$$, the result felt 95% similar to Tabluea Public. Instead, we've focused on figuring out how to harness next gen -- GPUs, how to expose ML and automation, etc. While I still think we are right long-term, and that the cloud co's will be paying top dollar here for the next 5 years.. Short-term, I didn't expect this much market hunger for old-school.

Bravo to all the product PMs!
Define "consensual". I can definitely see it being transactional in nature. I'm not going to wade into the debate on whether the power imbalance between the two parties of the transaction precludes consent. So, to answer your question, I think the likelihood of it being consensual is certainly nonzero.

Can anyone remember 'web safe colours'?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Web-safe_colors

In the days when you could even get an SGI workstation with 8 bit colours the 'web safe colours' was a safe bet.

I very much like the colour names, although some are way off. In particular 'chocolate' is more orange than chocolate coloured.

I also like the 'black' and 'white' easy colours rather than the hex codes even if it is one or two more bytes.
IMO Android is working towards having a compatibility layer so that drivers can be freely shared across distros.

"You will get better performance by using more productive language to iterate and create better architecture."

And if you blindly follow that, you'll fall into exactly the trap I mentioned, where that "better architecture" involves layering another 10x+ slowdown on top of your already-slow scripting language and before you know it it's 100,000 cycles just to emit "<p>".

I think there's rather more compute-bound web-generation code out there in the world than people think, precisely because this meme makes it so people never even look. Of course you'll think it's all IO bound if you just assume it is and never check even a little bit whether that's true, which from what I can see, is the norm in the web programming world. The data can be screaming that you are in fact not IO bound, but if nobody's listening because "everybody knows" that can't be true... who's going to find out it's wrong?

I suspect the sample was chosen to get two equal sets, as for an experiment like this you want to maximise the data from the two groups, as you are not trying to measure the incidence of the effect but rather the differences from the effect.
Wireless has become much better and robust in recent years, but I've honestly never been exposed to a wireless solution that was completely without issues. That's why I'll always prefer cables (as in fiber).

Not knowing much about Philadelphia, surely a city like that offers fiber to most houses in 2019, and it's probably not going to cost more than $50-100/month for an entry level package? I could be wrong.
Packer can be lower level but it can also do what Dockerfile do, see https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/docker.html for the Docker support in Packer.
That has not been my experience. I disable overcommit on my machines and it has been considerably nicer to have apps exit due to malloc failing than random processes getting OOM-killed.
I don’t think you really want me to break down a very clear similitude in smaller chunks for your comprehension, considering you follow with a gratuitous and unsubstantiated ad-hominem and incendiary language. Have a good day, sir.

I was bothered by that as well. My guess is that current societal pressures make it difficult for the article to imply that any explanation but rape is possible. In the articles defense, there is an argument that the incarcerated are not legally able to give sexual consent, and thus any sex between the a warden and a prisoner by definition statutory rape. I don't think it's a clearly established theory, but I can see why it would be a desirable legal standard. Here's an article on the topic: https://www.abqjournal.com/1030674/law-says-inmate-consent-t...
Qlik was sold to Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm, about two years ago for $3B.

Not sure if that's a relative bargain compared to this deal or if it makes the $15.7B look totally unrealistic. As of a few years ago the total revenue of the two firms wasn't that different.

Check out my other comment on this thread. I interviewed these folks and wrote the blog post (got lots of feedback from friends and design help from our awesome designers) - I'm a software engineer, not a PR department, lol :P

I tried to pick the answers which were most well written, not the ones which were most positive/negative. Personally I do think this is representative of the labelers who've stuck with us, but at this point don't have the energy to argue this; hopefully my other comment is convincing (i.e, there isn't a high bar to making people happy when their next best alternative is a lot worse)
I know it is self selecting, but from the responses here it seems to be most people.
Arguably, they already do. They pay us in services such as communications software, social software, search, etc.

Also, this is very common in some countries/industries. In the U.K. if you want to buy insurance or open a bank account etc, you’ll often use a comparison website, and they will likely give you an incentive (such as free cinema tickets) for choosing a service through them. This is paid for directly by the affiliate revenue. Cashback sites also exist that do this through affiliates. Credit cards do this with air miles, cashback and other rewards too.
I used emacs for years and had accumulated about 10000 loc init.el over that time.

Emacs is a nice hobby but when you want do get shit done it won't help you being more productive except for some rare corner cases.

So don't buy into the Emacs Plattform. Maybe just learn the basics because sometimes it is the only editor installed. If you spend more than two hours on it you are wasting your time.
That sounds really nice; I wish them all the best luck.

There are some great tools in this space, definitely worth exploring.

I live in NYC now. If I were you, I'd look for jobs now. Get one lined up or just have a good idea of what it takes to get one. Go for a corporate IT job that is 6 figs and an easy 9-5. Then I'd ask to postpone it, go on a relaxing trip with or without your gf for 1-3 months. Think about life.

Get back, move into a cheap shared studio or 1br with your gf. Work on your stuff after 5:30 and still bank money, and still live in the city. Boom.

Although there is a good % of the market that works in a similar way to your business, it is worth noting that when a deal is exceptionally good, executives will create exceptions. MS Suite and some of its satellite offerings (PowerBI,Sharepoint,etc) is a good example of an exception.

There are also cases where a company will pick multiple vendors in an attempt to de-risk and/or for negotiating tactics. If you are fully dependent on a single vendor, the cost of migrating tends to skyrocket and the negotiating power moves towards the vendor.

I actually didn't know what you were talking about until I opened the app few seconds ago. I was just tapping the search bar as soon as the app started every time, and did not even notice something was appearing on my screen. But I agree, now that I looked at this panel, it does seem useless.
Yeah I'm confused too. I run an open source Android app used by a bunch of Universities, I'm not sure what this means? Surely you can still open source apps that use Firebase to send messages, you kind of don't have a choice.

No point in owning your own platform unless you are in the business of building and running a platform.

The real advice is to always be ready to abandon your platform at any moment and move on to a new one should its policies no longer be in your favor. Always be preparing for this scenario. What’s your contingency plan?
