Reality is, most popular add ons got ported very quickly, and the subsequent speed and reliability improvements for Firefox that would not have been possible while keeping the old extensions around have more than validated their decision.

The funds have been earmarked for more eco-friendly transport services. It would be easy to go through the budget and see what happened. News articles can only give you so much context. It would consume an entire newspaper to give the back-story of every single news article. The reader is expected to do some work on their own. Also its not some 'random' tax. France has what they call an "ecological defense council" consisting of 150 randomly chosen citizens who debate such matters with domain experts. This idea has come out of such meetings.

So, until we have a unified front for addressing climate change, that doesn't exclude a single source of pollution, we should sit on our hands?

The climate doesn't care where the pollution comes from. Any reduction is a win.
I had an office job that involved a lot of spreadsheets and some Access databases, and I taught myself how to script a good chunk of my day-to-day responsibilities. I used the resulting spare time to learn more, automated additional tasks, and eventually found myself spending the majority of the day writing and maintaining code. When it was time to look for a new job, I was able to get a position as a software engineer based on the skills I had acquired and the programming projects I had completed and deployed.

I was in high school when Perot ran for President and I was a huge fan. I remember liking how he wasn’t a politician and therefor looked at the problems our country had from a different point of view.

This was the first time I had ever watched political debates; because I wanted to hear him speak. He was so different.

I also was a huge Apple and then Next fan at that time too. I sent him an email asking if he could help me get a Next computer :-)

His books are good reads if you ever get the chance.

RIP.
Nope they couldn't. Apple acquiring NeXT was to acquire Steve Jobs and making NeXT the foundation of the company.

IBM acquiring RedHat is a way to play in the cloud field, not to change the complete IBM Organisation, which is huge.

My issue more is, if not looking and you press the wrong one (brightness/volume), you have to either wait for it to go away and try again or move your hand to clear it.

I feel that if you do the press and slide, the interface shouldn’t change to a slider (that needs to fade away).
I think the challenge is that the IBM team have been literally selling products competing directly (but far less well) with what RH has on their truck. IBM+RH need to formulate and socialize a clear and consistent cloud, product & consulting strategy ... and then they can execute. If they get this out there quickly, they are likely to do quite well. If not -- and this seems more likely, given they should have had this material ready before announcing their intent to acquire -- I'm less confident.
I don't think the personal political opinions of candidates matter anyway; the money that they represent or the obligations they have to entities of power are more important.
>2. Tactically/strategically reselling keys legitimately acquired cheaper (giveaways, review keys, differentiated pricing between markets)

Thanks, it is indeed a bit more complicated than I first thought! There is a sweet spot: "Above a certain distance it becomes more fuel-efficient to make a halfway stop to refuel, despite the energy losses in descent and climb." [0]

Interesting tidbit (from the same): Very long non-stop passenger flights suffer from the weight penalty of the extra fuel required, which means limiting the number of available seats to compensate. For such flights, the critical fiscal factor is the quantity of fuel burnt per seat-nautical mile. For these reasons the world's longest commercial flights were cancelled c. 2013. An example is Singapore Airlines' former New York to Singapore flight, which could carry only 100 passengers (all business class) on the 10,300-mile (16,600 km) flight. According to an industry analyst, "It [was] pretty much a fuel tanker in the air."

So more an IP acquisition and IBM sure does know from decades of experience to recognise some company that fills a gap that has usurped their own offerings and acquired it.

You may well be right, indeed that was along the lines of my initial thought about this and would explain the size and scale of investment. Then if RH fails as they would currently to keep up those interest payments, then accountants can just rub their hands and use that debt to offset profits down the line.

Time will tell, certainly IBM has the kit and for years had its own dark fiber internet backbone globally, so have been well placed for years to capture the cloud market, yet failed to move on. Which for a company that saw a shift towards service offerings, was probably a big source of embarrassment internally at some levels.
Just to note, the Amazon figure does not seem to be comparable to others.

Amazon does not report R&D spend, but “Technology and content” spend. This includes for example AWS infrastructure.

Sorry yes. The article says 18 euros is the cap for business international, not the starting point. This is still very small potatoes when a business class ticket isn’t going for less than $3k.

Interesting that they are also not taxing transits, meaning if you just transfer through CDG, you aren’t paying the tax.
It's all in what people are willing to tolerate or change. Obviously, the gentlemen over at Haiku feel they have something to offer, as small as it may be. I always though that BeOS was somewhat revolutionary in its approach.

I'm still somewhat bothered that Apple let their server offering go. And yes, FreeBSD replaces Linux easily. Not everyone runs their stuff in the cloud. It's not the be-all and end-all. Serious non-IT businesses are still on mainframes, BSD, and other, and there are plenty of them. A friend of mine is a COBOL programmer for a large financial house, and he's set for as long as he wants to work there, and at almost $80hr (Texas), he's making better coin than most programmers here.
Carbon emissions are an externality cost. How do you propose properly accounting for that cost if not through taxes?
I don't consider a "50-page PDF" as on-boarding. It feels more like a cover-your-ass document. I would fear that when the candidate becomes confused about something, the book gives the team a free pass to give the look of "did you even RTFM?"

Proper on-boarding is pairing, it's a walkthrough, answering questions contextually as they arise.

Not a brain dump of everything you think they should know.

What utility did the other keyboard have? Well it meant you could adjust volume, brightness, press escape etc, WITHOUT LOOKING.

So many times I would want to adjust volume, keyboard brightness, display brightness by muscle memory and feedback alone, which isn't possible with the horrible touch bar.

I literally am still using my beloved Macbook Pro 2015 because I can't stand the damn thing. At my old job I had to use one of the new MBP machines at work and the keyboard + touch bar killed me every time.

I won't be buying a new MBP unless Apple fixes the keyboard and makes the touch bar optional. In fact, with the new improvements to Linux in Windows I may just got for a new AMD based Windows laptop instead, which is huge for me because I've been Macbook Pro since Apple first went to Intel...
1. Depending on what layer you analyze things at, in OOP, it may not be possible to maintain single responsibility. In OOP SOLID refers to the business layer. However with FP you can take single responsibility all the way down to types. A function returns One TYPE. It interfaces with the universe through a single type and that is one responsibility.

2. Why does the open and closed principle only have to apply to code? What if it could apply to everything. You gain benefits when you apply this concept to code... what is stopping the benefits from transferring over to runtime structures. SOLID for OOP is defined in an abstract hand wavy way, for FP many of those guidelines become concrete laws of the universe.

>No type checker is mathematically sound.
3. A type checker proves type correctness. Languages can go further with automated provers like COQ or agda. They are mathematically sound. Your square example just means that types shouldn't be defined that way. It means that the type checker isn't compatible with that method of defining types.

4. -

5. I highly disagree. There should only be communication between modules NEVER dependency injection. The monthly activity module should not even accept ANY module, or module interface as a parameter. It should only accept the OUTPUT of that module as a parameter. This makes it so that there are ZERO dependencies.

For example don't create a Car object that takes in an engine interface. Have the engine output joules as energy and have the car take in joules to drive. Function Composition over Dependency Injection. (Also think about how much easier it is to unit test Car without a mock engine)

If you get rid of dependency injection, you get rid of the dependency inversion principle. DIP builds upon a very horrible design principle which makes the entire principle itself horrible.
>IMO it's both counterproductive and futile to keep national markets separated.

So, developers in the USA should simply not sell their games overseas then? Let's say an indie game costs $10 in the states. In Thailand, the average monthly income is ~$220. So someone in the US could work 1 hour and buy the game, but someone in Thailand would have to pay more than a day's salary for the same game!

The game is supposed to be affordable! Regional pricing can help a developer charge less for a game in a country that has lower standard of living. Maybe $1 instead, so it's more like 1 hour of work for the average person. But if US consumers can buy the game for $1, why would they spend $10? If US consumers did that, the developer would suddenly be making 10% or less after fees. There is no way they could profitably develop games after taking that kind of hit.

I'm not saying you're not wrong with it being futile to keep separated, but there is a very good reason for it.
How were their teeth at 40, if they even lived that long?
I'm always worried about discouraging people with the pessimistic view here, but it's not actually clear to me that we have a choice in that matter.

Most innocently, because the number of people worried about this remains relatively low, and regularly gets overwhelmed by other groups. That's how democracy works, obviously, but it alarms me because privacy is a partially unrecoverable resource; even if people organize and win, a great deal of damage may have been done.

More cynically, though, because it feels like many of our democratic systems don't work on this problem.

By its own admission, the CIA violated its charter - and in many cases federal law - numerous times from the 1950s to 1970s. These events were documented internally in 1973, but no one appears to have faced consequences, and the "Family Jewels" weren't publicly released until 2007. Also in the 1970s, the Church Committee concluded that the NSA had conducted illegal surveillance, failed to shut it down when instructed to do so, and then followed up by lying to Congress about the entire mess. It also concluded that no one could be prosecuted for this, essentially because the tracks had been covered too well to convict any specific individual. The history of other Five Eyes nations in not substantially more comforting, as a look at e.g. UK practice in Northern Ireland will testify.

Today, the state of privacy law in the US isn't even known, because much of it is decided in secret court hearings with no one but the government present. National Security Letters help ensure that the public can't object to state surveillance by forcing private citizens to keep it secret, and interfering with basic access to counsel for the recipients. James Clapper gave testimony to Congress that was prima facie perjury, for which he faced no consequences. The list goes on at enormous and alarming length.

I don't know what we do about this. Voting for candidates who oppose war and surveillance is good, but they generally perform poorly, the ones who do well often seem to reverse course after election, and the ones who follow through (like Wyden and Udall) are frequently stonewalled and outright lied to by intelligence services. It feels alarmingly like we've created a surveillance system which operates independent of any democratic decisionmaking, and no longer know how to walk it back.

Underarm "body odor" is caused by a bacterial infection. Sweat itself is mostly salt water and has no strong odor.

It is possible to wipe it out permanently, though difficult, as it has to be done on everything that might touch the area, i.e. clothes, new deodorant, etc, to prevent reinfection.
Same here. But I've used https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements to map the key under touch bar's esc to esc.

I've also used the same program to disable touch bar esc. This way there are no accidental presses. I did it by mapping esc to 'vk_none' for the 'no product name' device, which is how Karabiner sees touch bar.

I still dislike the keyboard because of its failure rate, but the layout is ok for me now.
Yea, webkit2gtk is pretty heavy (or at least it seems that way when trying to compile it), but it might have been the easiest way to render epub files as their render is pretty similar to HTML.

It's surprising the government didn't start with that instead of abruptly raising gas prices. Both are eco-friendly moves, but this one targets the rich more than the poor. Maybe it would have prevented months-long Yellow Vest protests.
Reminder to self: being an early adopter sucks virtually always.

Edit: Sure, the issue is rather easy to circumvent, but anyone would have preferred not to have it. At the very least, it affects the resale value. My point is that whenever the answer to the question 'do I need it absolutely right away?' is no, it's better to wait a bit, no matter how much you intend to buy it at some point.
IBM also put in billions of dollars into Linux. They (along with many many others) are part of the reason Linux became commercially successful.

When people say they're scared of flying, I tell them they should be worried about the sudden lack of flying instead. It doesn't seem to help.
If they use the money for improving or subsidizing train service, then that's a good thing because it's moving more travel to trains, which are far more ecological. If you really have a problem paying a paltry 1.5 Euros for a flight, then maybe you should be saving your money instead of taking trips.

It is pragmatic advice.

“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world.”

If you are in your mid 40s you are not going to become great at something new to you (painting, quantum physics, chess, programming, etc etc). It is nice to dream of that, but it does not happen.

You might become decent and contribute to society in your new skill but that's different.

Who are those people who have made a single great contribution at an advanced age (let's say past 50)?

The few that I can think of (like that obscure mathematician who didn't get tenure and did his research alone) labored in their calling starting in their 20s at the latest.

The one exception could be business success which indeed is possible even at a very late age(Colonel Sanders etc)
