It's been suggested below, but Github Pages is a total breeze. Find a theme you like, clone the repo, add your domain (and set that stuff up) and get writing.

If you go with Jekyll, it's really nice to work with. I decided to go with GHP over hosting myself in case I ever get super famous, which will most likely never happen.

Ultimately, its easy enough that you can get writing right away. If you decide that the software isn't enough, it'll be a breeze to move somewhere else since its all markdown.

Memory leaks in Java are usually not so bad to fix. Maybe some off-heap scenarios could be trickier but IME people are pretty careful if they’re going to the extremes of off-heap.

Memory leaks in enterprise java in my experience are usually things like forgetting to close a resource of some sort or maybe doing something silly like continually growing a set or map with duplicate objects because of faulty equals() or hashCode(). Both of these cases are well covered by static analysis.

Maybe the trickiest but still relatively common scenario is a design issue where a weak reference is required - i guess that fits parent description pretty well.
wow, you really are up your own ass
One additional data point, with my DPO hat on.

BankID is both an authentication and user information service system. Swedish customers can sign up with BankID, and the beauty of the setup is that we are exposed to less private information than we otherwise would.

On login, these same customers go through BankID flow, and we get an assertation from the service that essentially tells us "login is valid for this previously assigned unique customer identifier".
From some I could, but why would I? If they're not adding value and they don't want to behave, I don't see a reason to spend money to adapt my systems to be "inclusive" towards their usage patterns.
AT&T didn't share Unix as well as would be modern commercial open source convention, but there was also a culture of non-commercial sharing at the time. So, besides not wanting to step on the trademark or copyrights, and hear from lawyers, there was also a sense of fighting back against AT&T, even in marketing. (Also, Berkeley counterculture might've helped, I suppose.)

Please both of you refer to the rules, specially the part about assuming good intent.
Best practice is to have a local repo that caches every package your code depends on. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_repository#On-Premise... for tools.

Your code then should resolve all its dependencies through that cache. If the cache doesn’t have it yet it goes to the real repo to resolve it. Then, it gives you its copy.

You typically can also use these products to store/archive any binaries you produce.

I don’t know how well these work if, as you say, you want to automatically pull future commits. That feels like a dangerous practice to me.
Senators don't bring antitrust suits against anyone, as far as I know. That would be a separate branch of government.
> Professional certifications, tests, dues, stupid rules about who can do what job when? No thanks.

That can be part of a union, but then they are democratic, so it depends on who you elect to run things. A bad union is just like a bad employer.

> I'll gladly collectively bargain for higher compensation and better conditions though.

I mean that's literally the point of a union. they are there to bring the money to take the employer to court. (ideally the threat is enough to get changes.)

I do think its cute that you think that a democratic union is akin to communism. There is nothing stopping a workplace from having more than one union, its quite common in the UK.
The economy grows because value is being created. If we follow your advice and create less value, economic growth measured by GDP will finally become a total vanity metric of who can create the most bullshit jobs and the most taxable transactions without creating any output. It stops being a good measure for wealth creation.
>I would hazard a guess that your coworkers would struggle in pretty much any language?

Uh? This issue wouldn't happen in Java because everything is heap(GC) allocated.
Which is probably why developers new to C++ have this issue.

This is based on gene sequence comparisons.
The gene in question is closely related to its plant counterpart and phylogenetically distant to any other known insect genes.

So the most parsimonious explanation is that the gene is horizontally transferred from plants to insects. The chance that it has evolved independently from another insect gene is very, very low.
You just don't see those buildings that did not survive. Survivorship bias.

Another reason might be lack of engineering science. People did not now how thick wall should be, so they built them as thick as possible. Nowadays people prefer to build cheap structures which will work good enough for their needs and will have guaranteed lifetime of 50 years. Science made it possible.
A bit of context,

> "I'm sorry, but there's no other word one can use but racist," Colville said, responding to reporters at a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland. "You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as 'shitholes' whose entire populations, who are not white, are therefore not welcome."

You missed that second part.

Looks like they’re talking about dismissing the people of those countries just because they are from, what they consider, a ‘shithole’ country/continent.
This one is kinda interesting

----

The truth about history is that, historically, and in the Western World at large, we are

the first to go from one civilization (which was, until recently,

the dominant world civilization) to another. That we know that the first

world civilization went into a deep freeze (what we like to call “the Dark

Time”) some 15,000 years ago. We’ve been doing this for most of our history; which

has been marked by numerous periods of social disruption, as new information and

culture came to be written down or communicated through symbols/ideas in a process

called, in modern lingo, “writing.” Our very civilizations are essentially oral ones,

based on oral traditions, primarily involving things like literature, religious art, sacred

historical ceremonies, and religious traditions, and so on. This may be a gross oversimplification

of things, but the point is that, historically, the West has been first out of the midst the rest of humanity — and all human beings, past and present. This is, it seems,

now evident throughout the greater part of the earth, despite the fact they have been

penned up in books, with the use of their knowledge as a template for the creation and

adaptation of culture, and that the Western worldview is now, in many parts, the model of global society.

This may explain the popularity of the Western World: for what we were given up by both God to write the books on

history is not just writing down things, but putting those words and thoughts and ideas together into a story line that will hold together over time before any human eye could even begin to look back upon it. It was an idea that there was

something we were taught to write since childhood…and that is how we have been handed over responsibility for bringing to

the world’s vision of what it is that we now consider today! Thus far, and it’s obvious to anyone who has done so much digging, that the

writings that have come to light since we are here are almost without exception written from the minds of Europeans living in

Cement is a binder mostly made up of Ca and Si oxides. It produces CO2 mainly from the heat input required in production, pure and simple.

I have not heard of any carbon capture technologies that are more efficient than trees and oceans, so the best we can do is facilitate a process that generates less CO2 from fuels spent.
True, but positioning oneself to do so involves learning more now than it did back then.

I imagine the time investment required to contribute to a mathematical specialty increases logarithmically with time (and perhaps total knowledge accumulated is the reciprocal... though that assumes specialties get more and more narrow).

I was in a pub with a relative, and we got chatting to another random patron.

The relative was asked about his CS job, and at some point details were being discussed. The relative said something like “we have made what was asked for but because we have run out of time, that’s what the customer is getting. We know what they actually want and need, but that’s not in the contract”.

The person we were talking to was the customer.

Ah, the value is in saying "the thing you're saying reads like this to an uninformed person". If the interpretation is correct, it reinforces the communication style chosen. If the interpretation is incorrect and the writer is aiming at this audience it is evidence against.

Does god exist?

(1) By his power we live;

(2) By his spirit he made us;

(3) By his wisdom stretched out the heavens;

(4) By his understanding made the earth

(5) By his counsel the sea and everything that creeps upon it,

(6) By his faithfulness led captive all nations,

(7) By his justice all nations to account;

(8) By his mighty acts all kings have trembled;

(9) In every work wrought in him there was law.

(10) It is more than the sand upon the seashore:

(11) There is a well-possessed nation that serves a lord

(12) Who is not served by one only.

(13) This is the land where God himself dwells.

(14) He has made him glad through redemption of tears.

(15) At one time each for himself as servant, (16) Or as a soldier for another.

(17) A master shall reap the wages of his harlotry.

The first sentence follows then the 2nd and 21st with no variation.

Here comes the "fear". It is almost necessary to explain, that (according to the opinion of the ancients) God could neither be either born nor created. His being was such as it always is...and yet not the same - so infinitely different from the essence of a single point or particle.

To what kind of being would this God create or the whole world then come to be? A God without reason is not possible; but when thought of any other way than that of making God infinite he would be absurd.

God could not be "manifested" within man like any being whose essence is the only thing to be believed. Thus God should be, according to his omnipotence, omnipotence and omnipresence alone. For instance the Godhead will require two worlds or worlds to produce it (1) The universe, the heavens and stars, (a circle of them) and (2) The world inhabited beings on the face of the earth. In the one I mean nature (1) Creation by means of the creator (2) Worldly creatures (3) Man's

So why are so many people in this thread complaining about "having" to join a union?
what? how is that not stopping people unionise?

If I join a union at work, it has no bearing on my stock options. In the uk its illegal to discriminate like that, precisely because employers like tesla would make it economically impossible to join a union.

As an aside, if you take away the shares, there is little incentive to work together to increase the share value. So of course unions are going to be incentivised differently.

Size has nothing to do with size or modularity. The same Qualcom chips get used from smart watches to tablets to cheap PCs, there's plenty of variety going on there. The difference is that the mobile SoCs are designed differently, requiring a complex system of bootloaders to even turn on that can change between models or even revisions of the chips.

The second problem is the proprietary nature of the chips. The PC became popular because other manufacturers copied and reversed IBM's BIOS and hardware, bringing a huge variety of available hardware that runs the same software. The only way that model could be profitable was to make sure everyone stuck mostly to the same standard, because breaking compatibility made your computer significantly incompatible with existing software your customers want. The crux of this requirement was that the user brought the software to the hardware, and the manufacturer could at most provide an operating system with a few tweaks at risk of breaking whatever the user wanted to run. This backwards compatibility still exists today, to the point that many BIOS update tools from manufacturers will boot FreeDOS to flash chips, running a software architecture older than many of their users on bleeding edge x64 chips.

The mobile ecosystem is designed so that devices last two, maybe three years, after that consumers throw their phones out and buy a new one. If you want to use your phone for longer then good luck, hope you bought a brand that ships you updates.

Qualcom, Huawei and Mediatek do not share the same level of compatibility the original PCs did, because they control the software supply chain. You don't take your software to Qualcom and make it work, you take Qualcom's kernel and then write your software. If Qualcom doesn't want to update the kernel version for your chip, good luck getting Android to boot; their open source drivers probably won't work because they either don't exist or are shoddily designed to fit only one kernel.

There's ongoing work over at the postmarketOS to mainline existing devices. Mainlined devices can run a proper, modern version of Linux with normal update support like any operating system, though Linux distributions often fail to properly implement things like deep sleep that are essential to using a phone. It'll be a while before mobile Linux becomes viable.

Then there's Apple, kind of a weird manufacturer in that they provide updates for well over five years even for slow mobile devices. They can do this because they don't need to buy chips from a manufacturer with an incentive to provide as little support as possible so end users buy new devices. They're also too popular for Linux not to hack in support for their weird, proprietary architectures.

All modular prototypes for Android have had the same problems with chipset and operating system constraints their constant-hardware cousins had; the same kernel supply line, with the same update problems.
It’s remarkable how long this took, though!

It’s notable, but the question of why that is so and whether that’s problematic is not as clear cut as it seems to be. For example, germany has a traditional industrial base that consists of mid-size, often family-owned businesses. We even have a word for it - Mittelstand. Quite some are world-leaders in their field. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing is certainly open for debate, but it’s not as simple as “no unicorn startups in germany - fail.”

TL;DR: it’s complicated.

Exactly. There was a time, circa 1990, where it seemed the majority of open source (though we didn't call it that) software on the Internet seemed to build easiest on a SunOS 4 SPARC, and that was one reason to prefer that.

I did write code portable to all of the workstation platforms (and VAXstations running VMS), and my approach was not to use separate scripts, but to write in a particular slightly-subset of K&R C (with portability macros to reintroduce some features), deal with compiler/architecture/library differences, and go through the docs and `cpp` output looking for preprocessor symbols that could help distinguish a particular platform (and you couldn't even use `#if`; it had to be `#ifdef`). For some purposes, cpp alone wouldn't be enough, and employer, which ran on all the workstations, had to develop its own portable graphics and GUI layers, IPC abstractions, etc. Makefiles were still heck for varying behavior between platforms, and you couldn't even use all the GNU Make features (though, in hindsight, maybe we should've, even when we had to keep using the vendor compiler toolchain), so complicated projects wouldn't necessarily be able to use a single Makefile alone.

Don't get me wrong, modern technology is superior in many ways. The problem I'm picking on here is that of the conflict of interest between the users and the developers. And this is absolutely not helped by the proliferation of predatory code signing and governments always siding with corporations when people try to take matter into their own hands.

The problem with modern technology is that many of its upsides are compensated by software developers. You know, "disks are big, networks are fast, memory is plentiful, you don't need to count CPU cycles in $year" kind of mentality.
