It is an odd decision not to include Ukrainian in the list of supported languages, despite the fact that the font has all the necessary letters.
With a good deal of skepticism, I switched the environment where I do about half of my work to a font with ligatures some time ago. Just to try it out for a while.

I happily forgot that I had done it as a trial, and upon reading this headline caught myself hoping that there would be ligatures.

I actually find that it provides an almost haptic feedback when going between things like =, == and ===, and I think I miss it just a little when I don't have it.

As for the font itself, I like it but slightly prefer the style of Fira Code.

Yeah - I remember when I was a volunteer firefighter - if you parked a fire truck in an atmosphere that was filled with combustible gasses, the engine would not shut off.

The trucks were equipped with some type of an emergency throw should that situation ever arise. We never had to use it in my time there.
The article is about a tool to examine the declarative service configuration provided by systemd. It does not examine services for "unpatched vulnerabilities". Nor does it examine ssh configuration options. It only examines declared sand boxing config in systemd unit files.

The information is still not even remotely accurate enough for this to work without ridiculously high levels of false positives.

An obvious example would be in Germany. The autobahn for example has sections that are unrestricted, but those same sections are 130kmh (or sometimes lower) if it's between certain times or raining or whatever.

Half of the time my car interprets that as just being 130.

Outside of that; there are countless instances of my car thinking I'm in an 80kmh zone when it's actually 100, 120, whatever. I can override that because I know what the actual speed limit is. Would the car be constantly reporting back that I'm doing a bad?

Ultimately I reckon perfect enforcement of this would just stop me bothering. I'll get someone else to drive me around like an Uber and they can take the endless tickets instead.

The Lassonde on School of Engineering at York University started eight years ago. Within the last 8 years The Faculty has made major growth and acquired world-class faculty. The school is more than adequate and was named as one of three schools worldwide to watch in a report by MIT. I suggest you look at the teaching methods of the school and you will see how it differs from traditional ciriculums.

In my personal opinion, the education received in many areas. Lassonde stronger than both the traditional education of University of Toronto and University of Waterloo. I think there are benefits to each school, but they are different benefits. I strongly feel as your statement about the school's not being in the same league are without an understanding of educational institutions in Canada for engineering and computer science.

You mean to tell me an old man who grew up in even more racist and sexist societies, making racist and sexist "jokes", is not racist because he is old and this used to be normal?

We all know plenty of old racist men like this. Hell, some of the more civilized (your definition of "left") people may have acted like this as children or young adults.

Some of us also know better men than this. Better ones who find most of that page pretty despicable in any context. Are you stating what it seems you are -- that the better ones are wrong because they do not observe the these things that resonate with you?

I think you should seriously re-evaluate your observations if half of those quotes are things you hold true, let alone all of them.

Also, why don't you spend some time to expand on rob's comment. What _about_ his views is so outdated? What _about_ him being old makes him hold those views and "open his mouth" to express them? See, many on the planet are over him and his kind. We thank him for his contribution, but it's time he got off the stage. There's hardly room for 90% of the planet on it.

Perhaps the people who worship the egos of "outdated" and "bad" "old" people lacking in self control should recognize the fact that they worship the weakness of, in your commenters words, the bottom 10th percentile of people.
IMO, it's more likely that humans will be mostly priced out of driving, via insurance, once the data show that self-driving vehicles are safer. It still isn't settled exactly how insurance will work on a car without a steering wheel. Will the manufacturer insure its entire fleet or will the customer insure their personal vehicle? Or will there be something entirely new, like a government approved industry standard that shifts liability to the public?

Whatever happens, insurers will make it more and more expensive for a human to drive a car once it becomes clear that it's safer for a computer to do the driving.

Will the impersonal multinational corporations that control the software in you car be looking out for your best interests?

Will the data collected about you and your behavior be used in ways that never go against your best interests?

Can individual software developers and teams working for these corporations do much about this if they disagree with it?

The answer to these and many other related questions is probably not.

Little by little, we human beings are gradually building a panopticon monitored by machines under the control of corporate organisms whose behavior is beyond the control of most human beings. As an example, think about about all the people at Google who have tried, mostly without success, to prevent it from acting like every other impersonal corporation. There's nothing preventing it.

Geez, all please stop talking about it. Why are we all so obsessed with google that everyday all we see some thread related to google.

How does it help. Only if everyone wasn't talking about google since forever this would never have been the case.

Almost all comments about google are in some way negative or not related to google(alternatives). I have never seen the "other" crowd over here, the positive one. So probably we all here on the same page.

I'm fairly prolific on gitlab/github and have both clearly marked on my resume, but I've never had an instance of my portfolio being an important factor in a job application process. Based on my personal experience I have never once found Github to be worth it in terms of career advancement, it's more for personal fulfilment and interest. My guess is that unless you are a leading star in your field it's pretty irrelevant. That said, when screening/interviewing candidates I've often looked at their Github if they have one and that's definitely been a deciding factor for me, but I can't say that's something I've encountered from others in the industry.
Then shame on them for not focusing it by default.
Stack Exchange is interested only in making big money since they know they missed out for a very long time and they think they deserve to be a billion+ dollar company just like many of the top 100 websites, if the community is interested in making money for Stack Exchange so that's fine otherwise SE is okay with becoming Quora for developers thanks to their influence in search engines and making money by brute force.
I wish GDPR had some exemption for small companies or companies that are starting out. Maybe limitations on revenue, amount of users and scope of data, eg strict rules still apply (to a small company) when dealing with sensitive data such as health information, but email addresses are not as strictly governed. Perhaps require a plan of action to abide by the full rules by X future date even.

Take for example some one person indie developer. A common way to monetize that is through ads and in app purchases that turn ads off. With the current rules it's difficult for a single person to know that they abide by all of that while still monetizing in such a way.

Law enforcement has nearly no interest or ability to prosecute and punish fraud though, especially if you wrap it in an LLC. As long as you don't mind getting caught, the punishments are merely a cost of doing business.
Car manufacturers are already in talks with telcos to get dedicated 10MB/s links to transmit all the telemetry, including visual data. Once such infrastructures are in place and standardized in one domain, it doesn't make much effort to move them to other, "unthinkable" domains.
Possibly interesting, a behaviour I used to see from people with "bad" upbringings is a desire (or requirement) for chaos.

eg they get their life on track, but it seems to be "too boring" (or similar) for them, so they start creating chaos with the people around them to get things "back to normal"

It's a bit of both isn't it? They gave you so much credit because they assessed you as the type of person who wouldn't do that. If they were 100% sure that you would be spending recklessly, you'd probably have a limit of a few hundred at most. Part of their job is making that assessment correctly.
>This is the primary reason you can't get Fortnite from the play store, instead you have to download an install an APK. Epic also uses their own payment processing systems, so they don't need to pay anything to Google for IAPs.

One important point on this is that the Play Store does allow some apps distributed within it to do billing themselves [0], but not games, which is why Fortnite is distributed outside the Play store.

There are some other rules, but if you're building a cross-platform app, you should know that many Play Store distributed apps can do billing themselves on the grounds that they have "digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself".

Spotify and Netflix do their own billing on Android, as opposed to iOS, where the Netflix app has a button to call a phone number that plays a voice recording telling you to go to netflix.com (web links to sign-up pages aren't allowed).

So does JetBrains IDE's and VS Code. I don't know of any program that forces you to use ligatures just because the typeface supports it.
It looks like this has the largest x-height of any typeface meant for developers (larger than even Fira Code).

While there is research suggesting a large x-height increases readability, I'm wondering whether this doesn't push the x-height just a little too far. CamelCase words no longer stand out visually very easily -- I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Forth can be a little troublesome in that area. There is a standard language but it is primitive. Extensions for real world problems tend to diverge in syntax. This has lead to a saying: "If you've seen one Forth, you've seen one Forth" :)

It's better than in the past with an ISO standard (IMHO) but know that if you change language providers there will be differences for things like external library linking (if available), GUI interaces etc.

There are demo versions of commericial systems at:

And of course a major pass-time in the Forth community is writing your own Forth. There is even a few Forths written in Python. (for instructional purposes only I assume)

> 1. Android sells more, and offers more variety of mobile and wearable devices than Apple. And here’s the data to prove it.

> 2. Apple is a monopoly/monopsony and should be forced to allow more user choice of apps, allow sideloading, lower their prices, lower their app store cut, &c.

The three positions suggested here (monopoly and monoposony being very different things) aren't actually incompatible. Android can sell more and Apple can be a monopoly (and even more easily, a monoposony) if there is a discernable market of buyers/sellers for whom price adverse changes in what apple is offering to sell or buy do not induce shifts to Android.
Status quo (pr, marketing) is already positive. So there is literally no point talking about anything positively here.
I've recently tried Emacs for a few weeks and prettify-symbols-mode doesn't look nearly as good in my opinion, as the scale and style of the symbols isn't consistent with the font. Also I never got any symbol out of it in any situation except an arrow and lambda.

I'd much prefer if Emacs just supported actual ligatures.
Just curious: Does this do anything to avoid the need to explicitly close resources in a garbage collected environment? (IE, the Disposable pattern in C# / .Net)

Specifically, when I work in a reference-counted environment, if an object has a resource, like an open file, or a socket, I don't need to do anything special when I'm done with that object. The reference count predictably drops when I'm done with the object, and its destructor cleans up its resources.

In contrast, because garbage collection is non-deterministic, in a garbage collected environment, I have to use extra special care when an object uses a resource (file, socket, ect,) that needs to be released at a predictable moment.

Because: If, in a garbage collected environment, the rule of thumb is to "make sure you don't have circular references to your resources, (files, sockets, ect,)" this would dramatically simplify resource (not memory) management!
There are a lot of useful data points in modern cars. For instance, the compression rate of your suspension can indicate how aggressively you're cornering. This sort of thing is already being used in opt-in programs by insurers in the US. They interpret as much data as possible in an attempt to calculate for each customer a sort of driver safety rating that is then used to determine insurance rates.
Interesting. It didn't do that for me. But, I had already specifically set my font. So, maybe it changed the previous default to this new font.

Must get very cold in the winters-- I can't imagine what it would cost to heat most of that space. I'm also impressed at how permissive the local zoning rules are. I guess in parts of the country that are struggling economically and seeing population declines, they can't be too difficult. The property taxes are probably super low as well given then very low purchase price.
I'm not sure that's accurate. I don't think it has much to do with caching strategies and everything to do with all developers now having SSDs and so never testing their software against slower media.

McIntosh [1] is a type of Apple. At [1] you can also read about McIntosh ("McIntosh Laboratories") the hi-fi brand [2]. My father was an audiophile, and had various McIntosh hardware (pre-amplifier, tuner, oscilloscope, ...). Apple named the Mac after the Apple but deliberately misspelled it as "Macintosh" to avoid confusion with the hi-fi brand. As I grew up with the hardware from McIntosh (Laboratories), that'll for me always be real McIntosh. Even though the real one is the apple genus.

..and then there's "Big Mac". I'm not sure where that got its name from, nor if it has anything to do with McIntosh (labs or apple). It was innovated before the Mac was invented though.
