I've made an iPhone app for testing open source libraries before you use them
The app includes collection of well-known and raising iOS libraries from GitHub. Each library has its own screen that shows you who's the author, short description and instruction on how to integrate the package using CocoaPods, Carthage or SPM. Also you can share the link with your colleagues in one tap. The collection of libraries in the app is constantly growing with every update. By the way, there's a humble little feature in the app: demo screens! Yes, you can test UI components before you add them to your own apps.

Nowadays, GitHub has thousands of libraries written in Swift. Networking, data, business logic, UI components. Some of them are good for your apps, some are useless waste of time. Usually, you spend your valueable time for adding the UI component from new library to your project just to check how it works. Very often you get frustrated with the quality and rollback your project's state. Instead of wasting time for that, we invented something new. You can check UI components from popular libraries in one app - Awesome Libs!

For 90% of libraries listed in the app you can use a demo screen. Usually it's very similar to demo app from the repository, but you don't spend minutes (or hours) to compile it with Xcode and install it on your device. Libraries that has demo screen are marked with Live Demo green badge.

AppStore link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1525970272

When the app will get 100,000 paid downloads, I'll publish its source code on GitHub under the MIT license and will drop the price to zero.

If you want a promocode, PM me or leave a comment below. Share your thoughts please, this is important and helps to improve the app.

Thanks for attention!

You could replace Seemay Chou with my my name in that first paragraph. For as long as I can remember I have went to bed at midnight(ish) and have been wide awake and productive around 4-430 without the use of any alarm. Consistently. Weekends and holidays. My family does not understand it, and I do not understand how they allow themselves to sleep in everyday.

I like it like this. I get to be awake and go about my business without interruption when the people around me are asleep. I get much done between the hours of 4am and 8am.

When I travel for work I get to see other cities with almost no traffic on the streets. New York and LA, Atlanta. It has a certain feeling to it. Although in recent years if I happen to be on the streets at 5am I usually notice a fair amount of foot traffic outside of fitness clubs.

At first I saw these people as intruders, encroaching on my little, peaceful world. The early morning has a certain feeling that is somehow diminished with the addition of other people...

Laws don’t need to be that specific, that’s what the legal system is for. So instead terms like negligence are used which have very specific legal meanings, and then people consider if a Microsoft was legally negligent in their behavior. The downside is it’s more vague, but the upside is it can rapidly evolve over time as new information comes to light.

From skimming the PSU story, it looks like there might be a political factor in that one. I wonder if the same objections would have been raised had his research goal been to expose sexism in acceptance rates of science journals or somehing, rather than expose gender studies as nonsense.

>> A fake paper is fabricated research, which falls under the definition of misconduct.

I think it's the same argument as with satire. The goal is not to defraud but to make a legitimate point. There is no mens rea.
Point soberly taken and understood through the scarring of experience. But then, what's the alternative to the cookie-cutter alternatives?

Start yet another micro political party doomed to the fringes? Even Nick Xenophon gave up after a few years.

Revolution? If you can't succeed as a political party how are you going to build a revolution? And does the ends justify the everything-in-between, along with the very high likelihood of potential failure and after-effects of such failure?

We definitely do need to close up loopholes that multinationals use to avoid paying tax here (and really, everybody should have a look at Michael West’s Top 40 Tax Dodgers [1] - apparently Google avoids being on the list by directly booking a fair bit of their Australian profit offshore, but wouldn’t be that high compared to the likes of Chevron, Exxon and others). But we need to keep in mind that this proposed bill has been pushed for pretty much solely by a single American company that controls 70% of our media and also doesn’t pay tax!

In this case, I’d prefer Google wins - tax reform can come after. Or we could use it as a compromise - “OK, we’ll drop the News Corp Subsidy Bill, but in return you stop the tax avoidance”

That sounds completely contrary to the concept of a free press. If the government gets to decide access to news, then independent checks on the government can become impossible. It would be the end of a free press.

This is absolutely a big problem with democracy: on the one hand, it requires a free press to inform voters about the state of the country and the government, but on the other hand, there's no way to guarantee that the press will provide the necessary information; the press needs to be funded, but if the government funds it, the government controls it. If the people pay for it in a free market, then the press will publish what the people want to pay for, rather than what is necessary for them to know about their government.

Any property of a system that makes it possible to intercept the communication of specific users is, in and of itself, a systemic weakness.
I worked with a financial trading firm that was interested in evaluating a POWER system. They called IBM, who arranged a meeting our our offices.

From memory, about 8 IBM people showed up. They didn't seem to actually know each other, but were from several different groups within IBM.

We sat down, and started by explaining what we did with our existing x86-64 systems, and what we thought we'd like to try with the POWER system. We asked for a single box to evaluate, roughly the equivalent to our existing HP DL380 dual-Xeon boxes.

The folks from IBM then spent the next 40 minutes arguing with each other about exactly which system we should be using. Five minutes before the meeting was scheduled to end, one of them took charge and said they'd figure it out offline, and get back to use with the details.

Several more rounds of email were exchanged, but we never actually got to the point of being told what system we could have, or what its specs were, let alone actually being able to physically get one and test it.

It was perhaps the most absurd situation I've seen in 30 years in the industry.

They are excellent resources and the people who have the self drive to do MOOCs often perform better than people with a degree. I'm not sure how many really complete a MOOC though. The ones from elite universities have been very tough in my experience, but worth the effort.

Online certifications seem to be a negative though. Doing a MOOC in itself signals you have the passion, whereas getting a certification implies you neither qualify to actually go to MIT or Harvard, nor do you have the passion to finish without being motivated by e-paper. While they are hard to get, I doubt the pain level it takes to finish is anywhere near that of a MIT degree.

How half of America views something doesn't really matter, what matters is that there is an observable factual difference between Breitbart and CNN. I don't have a dog in the race and that's pretty easy to establish. Or do you really believe that CNN also promotes conspiracy theories and outright nonsense? If so I guess the conversation is over.
In theory there would be, but it depends on how much people are willing to pay for it, how long they're willing to wait for it, and whether you're flexible enough to not be producing until an order comes in.

I'm sure similar questions are asked about things like floppy disks / readers, or old 486 compatible CPU's which are still in use here and there, or CRT displays.
I think you're making a lot of assumptions and pigeonholing the applicability of this based on things we have only passing knowledge of, like "there is a JAR of some sort". I wonder what kind of fun HotSpot exploits might be in the JAR a real attacker would use. Hopefully Oracle will get permission to fix them some day if there are :)
I think the key words in the quote from Scully are "some people" and "a lot of psychedelics".

Of course it's also purely anecdotal, but within the Psychedelic Trance scene I see far more people than I am comfortable with who took a lot of acid and end up deep in the rabbit hole of conspiracy nonsense.
Literally ANY content delivery network would be able to compete with google. AMP sites are sites that the companies themselves build for google(could be any cdn) to just cache.

The news organizations themselves gains a lot from google crawling and indexing their sites (which do cost google money) and now this legislation would also require google to pay them for displaying the title/subtitle of their articles. In what world is that fair or balancing out the relationship?
>Trump...did not definitively say whether he thinks Snowden is a traitor.

He has repeatedly called for his execution as a spy and a traitor. If I were Snowden I would be extremely wary of such a pardon; it could simply be a ruse to get him on a plane home. It's not as if the security services are a stranger to extra-judicial action.

More likely it's part of some larger piece of realpolitik involving Russia and/or the security services. I think one thing we can be reasonably sure of is that Trump hasn't suddenly had a change of heart over the constitutionality of whistleblowing.

As an aside - I consider "opinion on Edward Snowden" to be the gold standard litmus test on the integrity of a politician. It's surprisingly bi-partisan.

I think it's equally bizzare to say in (2)(e) that the platform must provide "information about how the registered news business corporation can gain access to the data" and not have a reasonable interpretation of that be that this means it is required to actually provide access to the data. At best it's horrifically badly worded - at worst, deliberately confusing, as if written by a lobbyist.

I interpret (2)(a) to mean, "whether or not it [currently] shares the data".

If the ACCC wanted this to be interpreted as they have written in their press release just now, perhaps they could try putting those words into the actual bill?

Truffle team lead here. Yes we are working full steam on improving warmup and delays caused by going back to the interpreter in unexpected cases. Expect bigger improvements in this area soon.

That being said, we cannot do it all on the Truffle side without help of the language implementation. Truffle languages speculate on certain aspects of the program data. If they do so, then we need to deoptimize and invalidate the optimized code when this speculation is violated. So the stability of the language implementation really is an important factor. Questions like "do we need to speculate on this value being constant or does give us enough benefit to justify the deoptimization overhead?" need to be answered by the language implementation and not the Truffle framework. Afaik this was not a priority for TruffleSqueak so far, but it might be in the future. So there are potentialy future improvements also on the TruffleSqueak side.

Or adapt the alphabet to use ASCII.
Laws don't necessarily need to be specific, but if you rely solely on interpretation to distinguish between different types of responsibility involving third-party software, you will either achieve (1) appeals courts defining responsibility as narrowly as possible, or (2) the complete destruction of third-party software and all independent software development as no vendor is willing to risk exposure.
If you hashed the entire file you wouldn't be able to append that hash to the file for distribution because it would change the hash of the file. That's why FOSS software signatures are usually MD5/SHAwhatever in a separate text file.

University entrance requirements in the UK are pretty much always expressed in terms of sets of grades for A levels (rUK) or Highers (Scotland) - often with additional requirements (e.g. must include maths).

The entire entrance process pretty much uses grades as the first filter - changing that would be a huge amount of work not to mention a lot of people will have conditional offers that are expressed in terms of these grades.

So picking a course at random (Physics at Edinburgh) requires: SQA Highers: AAAA - AAAB or A Levels: AAA - ABB

What underlying data do you want to make available? There's no consistent data collection across the schools, what there is exists for internal use at a school so there's no requirement for it to be to any particular standard or of any particular frequency throughout the course.

It's also a single grade per subject, so the university /employer will usually have 3-5 grades to work with, as well as the broader picture built up from the personal statement/cover letter and interview.
Of course they're making a connection, I didn't deny that. I'm saying that connection goes the other way. But if you're going to discount anyone who disagrees with you as just "manipulated", there's no point in keeping this discussion. Have a nice day.
It's clear there's some abuse of power going on here. It doesn't sound like an entirely objective process. That the algorithm has been selectively applied, is definitely worth an independent review and some time in court.

That argument can be made without drawing emotional prejudices into it, but it wouldn't hurt to raise the question of prejudice while conducting this debate, because there has been evidence of a class based skew in the UK education system for years now.

And this appears to be the most overt attempt to rig the system yet seen.

For Google at least they have the option to opt-out. They can add a robots.txt file to prevent indexing. It isn't clear to me why special legislation is required to give the media companies bargaining power. They already have the power to say no if they don't think the arrangement is fair.

> That's implying that either the services would go, or they would no longer be free.

No it's not ... it just implies they could be harmed (damaged, degraded). For example as Google's letter goes on to explain in detail, things like "...Google Search results and YouTube will be worse for you". Google actually wrote these harms into their letter. To pretend an alternative interpretation is viable when they explicitly elaborated their meaning right after they wrote that sentence is highly misleading.
We thought on this specifically when naming our son, one with no special characters, a pure clean ASCII string like mom used to cook them.
It's not a matter of "affording" food/products or not. It's a political decision, to not prosecute people for crimes against property. And it's an extremely dangerous decision. The rule of law, and the freedom that societies that enforce it have, are inextricably linked. A government that does not protect the property of it's citizens has no right to exist. It's basically telling the ordinary citizen "you're on your own". What this type of goverment creates, either by stupidity or malice, is an anarchy fueled law of the jungle.
