Is there a good explanation for why saying this is a 'new type of software' and a 'fundamental change to the 50 year old kernel structure' isn't hyperbole? I understand that it is some sort of constrained virtual machine that can analyze packets, bit it seems like the marketing here is a little much.
It's one way to do that... but the present format and management of the domain name system isn't important. You can create a security certificate for any form of text string and use it to validate the other end of the connection.

The certificates are essentially a trusted authority saying cryptographically "we have verified this is really the person you think this name is" and that can be done for any identifier. Also, this system was set up before public key encryption became common, and there are plenty of other ways to accomplish the same function with PK crypto.
Pocket really isn't the problem. Mozilla only has made bad decisions since 2011 without ever learning from any of their many, many, many mistakes.

The software I work on at work uses bitmap fonts. We actually have a system that renders windows fonts without subpixel rendering on a few backgrounds and then saves the output to header files for us to include in the project. It's mainly for space saving reasons and the fact that getting a proper text rendering system was more work than it was worth.
DDG is worse than Google for me and totally useless for any searches in my native language.

Firefox has 50% worse performance for me in WebGL applications. Media isn't also accelerated still on Linux. Where is the "awesomeness" in that? I really wish those caveats didn't exist for what I use daily.
Thanks for asking. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. At 60Hz refresh rates it takes 16.7ms to send a full frame to the display, so the minimum latency is 16.7ms even with a CRT (Which has no buffering).

Abstract:

>People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is chosen when compensated either on the labor or on the housing market so that individuals’ utility is equalized. However, in a direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we find that people with longer commuting time report systematically lower subjective well-being. Additional empirical analyses do not find institutional explanations of the empirical results that commuters systematically incur losses. We discuss several possibilities of an extended model of human behavior able to explain this ‘commuting paradox’.
I spend a lot of time in the semi rural areas outside of San Jose/San Francisco and out of fire season in the cold months the smell of burning wood is persistent until temps get well out of the 60's (given the number of valleys/mountains, lots of areas stay cold all day in the shade/fog zone once it gets cold). Even if it's a small percentage, the odor is omnipresent, so the particulate pollution is present to some extent as well from a non scientific sampling.

Wood burning (not even special low pollution devices) is not permitted in new construction in the Bay Area because of how much effect even a small percentage of homes can have on air quality.

Read and memorize the above.

There is a whole lot of BS in the Leadership Industry and we should first educate ourselves on the realities. Start with Jeffrey Pfeffer's "Leadership BS".

The above same charge of BS can also be laid at the door of of various Management "theories". A good antidote is Ted Stephenson's "Management: A political activity".

Leadership/Management is more about understanding People/Organizational psychology and behaviours and not "feel good" theories.

Let me paraphrase: "All the questionable Redhat-backed additions like systemd and Networkmanager aren't great or particularly fit and fixing them so plugging in network cables doesn't disrupt existing connections was too hard. Have downgraded security instead. If you care just re-enable and suffer our broken stack."

GCC 2.96, Pulse Audio, NetworkManager, systemd... I've assumed the death of (truly open) Linux would be at the hands of Redhat, this is just another stab wound.

While I agree we need to stop using chrome, I don't know that FF is the path forward.

Mozilla's continued trend away from Openness and the foundation's original goals and more towards business objectives and corporate "morals" similar to those seen in google seems like we are just replacing one Corporate master for another with Modern Mozilla, inc

"half of all mergers destroy value"

I keep hearing this and it is from a widely misunderstood study. It did not find that half of all mergers destroyed value, instead, it found that only half of mergers created value. The proportion of mergers that destroyed value was much smaller (about 20% iirc). Unfortunately, most people did not bother looking beyond the headline and extrapolated incorrectly.

It's always best to just avoid all police encounters in the US. If you routinely drive in excess of posted limits, use radar detectors and crowdsourced speed trap warning apps. Tint your windows to the legal limit, and no darker. Ensure your signal lamps are all functional, and signal all turns and lane changes. Come to a full stop behind the line at all stop signs and red traffic lights. If you see a uniformed cop in public, do not approach. Be somewhere else, as quickly as you can manage, but without appearing too suspicious.

In any situation in which you might think it would be okay to deal with police directly, you're probably wrong, unless someone is literally in mortal peril already. Instead contact your lawyer, or security contractor, or insurance adjuster, or psychiatrist. In most cases, the police have no legal obligation to help you, and legally unchecked power to harm you, so why risk it?
Note: Be very careful /how/ you invoke your right to counsel in the US:

> And when a suspect in an interrogation told detectives to "just give me a lawyer dog," the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a "lawyer dog," and not invoking his constitutional right to counsel.

I agree. Brain-dumping `\begin{float}[t]` while writing seems more natural than thinking "go to this menu, click this option, see if it inserted the float, and choose 'top' in its location properties dialog".

I tried to explain it's not a SO thing. The Help Vampire describes a real phenomenon, codified by someone not on SO (search for "stackoverflow" in the text...). If you feel it's premature, you're probably lucky to have never dealt with them. ESR's advice is a bit smug -- I don't like the guy myself -- but will clearly help anyone to ask good tech questions; it also predates SO by years if not decades.

Put yourself in the position of the people answering questions for free. It wastes their time. How long would it take to burn you if every day you had to answer the same questions by people too lazy to write with punctuation and to search for the answers to see if they already exist, who never come back to tell you if it helped them or not, who never reply to requests for clarification, who could have found the answer for themselves if they simply tried to run the code, and who are sometimes rude if you ask them a counter-question? There are so many times you can attempt to help someone asking "plz help this code doesn't run why doesn't it run plz help me" before giving up on the website.

Low quality, poorly researched questions also make SO as a whole less useful to other people. Forums full of garbage often devolve into more garbage. So there has to be a threshold -- arbitrary by definition -- and you may or may not agree with the precise one, but without one SO would be full of garbage. SO evolved into trigger-happiness because of the problem it was trying to solve: quality Q&A without the noise and garbage.

This has nothing to do with puritan work ethic or "worthiness" or gatekeeping. How to ask good questions is something every programmer (or tech-minded) needs to be good at in order to do their job. It's not too much to ask. How else would they know what code to write or what problem to solve?
yes but we should focus on the ones done recently or still being done, and in that aspect America really takes the crown along China and a few other ones.
my car does the exact same thing and it's easily dumbest feature a modern car has ever had. It's Canada in January, of course ice is possible. The alert goes off at a random time up to 15 minutes into a journey. Since it's audible you think something really serious has happened and now focus is not on the road but trying to figure out which tire has punctured or if a connecting rod is protruding from the engine block. Then you remember the stupid ice warning and are reminded how much you hate the alert, meanwhile in your distracted state you have driven into the ditch.

Somewhere where it snows once every 3 years it might be helpful. When you live in a place with real winter it actually makes you less safe since your brain has to spend time processing the alert for a condition that's obvious since the entire horizon is covered in a blanket of snow.

>Where do the nuclear byproducts go currently ? Into the earth? Rivers? Oceans?

No where, because there aren't any. If you meant spent fuel if it's not reprocessed it's stored as long as needed to be less dangerously radioactive. If it's reprocessed, any radioactive elements in it that aren't useful are stored and left to decay. Present storage of things like this is on-site as mentioned above, because reprocessing mostly doesn't happen.

The amount of unusable material from reprocessed fuel is tiny, by the way.... even less trouble than storing the spent fuel rods, on the order of a handful of material from a whole fuel rod assembly.

Power generating reactors don't give off anything but electricity, heat, and spent fuel, they are zero emissions.
That rumour isn't accurate. The origins of the Brexit campaign are well documented and understood, tax doesn't feature in it. It came out of the rise of UKIP who campaigned primarily on immigration and sovereignty, with the two being intertwined because, immigration was said to be high due to the EU forbidding any controls on intra-EU migration. That rise combined with long term Tory euroscepticism pushed Cameron to promise a referendum to win over UKIP voters, a promise he made good on, and then the Remain campaign lost.
That’s mostly misleading. Japan has a 99% conviction rate because its prosecution offices are too poor to pursue anything but the most clear cut cases.

Edit: that’s noted in your link. But should probably be more upfront.
Ah, this is familiar.

Decades ago, I had more or less topped out playing Othello against my Apple ][e. A game could be completed in under ninety seconds, with my moves being as fast as that of the computer. I took photos (with actual film) of beating the machine long before the board could be filled, but I was getting stale, essentially training myself to fight against this deterministic opponent who couldn't have been all that bright, given the time. I began to make deliberately bad choices in the early game to see if I could recover, but even that wore out.

I eventually settled on POKEing parts of the memory where the game was held. Typically, this resulted in an un-runnable program, or the program would place pieces on the lines rather than between them, all sorts of oddball behavior. Every so often, though, I would get a working game that would play against me using the usual rules, but differently enough that it would throw me off.

It was primitive but amusing.

It's tough to work-around the unilateral-disarmament problem here: if supporting AMP gives you a boost in Google SERPs it's difficult to boycott AMP if your competitors don't.

This is what is so insidious about what Google is doing here and seems to me to maybe make a good case that Google abuses its monopoly power.

(INB4: "It's a bad idea to make your business depend on Google traffic because that's fickle and outside of your control." Sure, that's true, but still, organic Google traffic is a pretty rich vein to completely ignore or cede to competitors.)
This also suggests that family should play a role in rearing children because the nanny chain is not sustainable except for an elite class.

That is in no way an objective statement on American politics and the comparison of the 2 party system.

The idea that American's issues with the Democratic canidates can be compared as "Refused to tip more on 10%", is moronic.

Surprised I'm not reading many comments about Lombok. We use this with great success and predictability and it removes so much boilerplate. More importantly, it focuses on the boilerplate that is truly boring. The projects look great add a result.
The only benefit is a very slight reduction in memory usage. Even that is up for debate as the cost of computing the length of a null terminated string is so high that variable length integer for the size is going to typically be the same space, and even when not will still be faster.

Null termination was easy to implement quickly. It’s bad everywhere else.

You still have to immortalize the cell line. NIH3T3 cells were immortalized by culture conditions. Others are immortalized with viral treatment. The end result is the cell line is similar, but not the sams as the source. Take a primary tumor out of a patient and culture it and it will slowly die over a few days or weeks.
The Infinite Game is also great. The focus is on building companies that last hundreds of years, so you need leadership, culture and investors that are all about long term stability over keeping sort term investors happy. There are some rants, but nothing I disagree with!

Most importantly, DDG comes with a host of bangs, whereas firefox And I assume chrome as well) require some configuration. Secondarily, bangs work regardless of their position in your query. At least in Firefox, they must be the first word. Finally, I can use DDG with bangs from anyone's device, that I might not want to do any setup on.

I do primarily use bangs from Firefox's address/search uni-bar, so if they added bang support from there, I would start using that feature without changing my habits at all.

I interpreted the premise of the article as weaning people off of GUI with everyday trivial tasks that can be done via CLI. I myself do almost all my work from the CLI, but it was this blog post [0], specifically the open, pbpaste, and screenshot commands, that got me into dabbling with my shell, before I understood the power and convenience of shell scripting.

I try to get novices interested in the shell via youtube-dl, which is very useful and has no good GUI counterpart. However, for a lot of people, downloading copies of video are just not an everyday task like checking the weather or dictionary.
