But then you get all of the baggage that comes along with an open system. Android is not stable in the slightest, which is odd as it does use the Linux kernel, but it still is; even on 4.2. I still get hangs, freezes, and crashes. The system-wide lag is gone, but there are many instances I can name where the system will arbitrarily crash an application:

- Trying to open Google Now
- Typing an address into Firefox's URL bar
- Trying to Swype
- Trying to open a new tab in the Android browser

And there's many more. Granted, it's CM10 running on a Nexus 7, but there's still so many kinks to be worked out.

When I switch back to an iPad, it's such a relief. Full stability. I have NEVER had an application crash on an iPad.

Can't say the same about the N7, unfortunately.
I can't tell you how many times I've told myself that I wish Webkit and Gecko would just die. One day, I'd love to just focus on building for Trident and not have to worry about supporting all these other engines.
Though I agree a single render engine would make things easier for most front-end webdevelopers, I'm not sure whether a monopoly is such a good idea.

;-)

Actually writing for STANDARDS would be a better idea....
Yes, it is compliant. In this example, the (version, 2) key/value pair is an accept-extension.

Another example of header field extensions could be `Content-Type: text/html; level=3`
> this definition, would it be racist to say that all other races except for Asians are inferior at processing alcohol?

I don't follow. How did the co-worker discriminate against the Asian guy?

Now if he did, and said something like - your race is fucking weak, you don’t belong here with us - than yes, that would be racism.

But simply thinking that Asians don't handle alcohol as well as Europeans do, is not racism.
I assume he's talking about developer discovery/exploration.
The move away from Gitolite is great as I know it was the source of many of install and upgrade headaches however the new component they've replaced it with is very very closely coupled to GitLab.

This could have been a great chance to create a lightweight alternative to Gitolite for other projects to use too.

It's not having hidden compartments that's illegal. It's building hidden compartments for people when you know they will be used for illegal purposes. It's simple accomplice liability. See my rant on people ignoring context.
It's probably because it's a familiar format.

Personally, I like the fact the layout is straight to the point, it allows for the articles/posts to be the main focal point.
Kickstarting Schema Migrations for Django
The internet is a weird place. I will never understand why Adria did what she did, from all i read she is an intelligent person yet she chose to do the most childish thing in the world... tattle the kid that said "penis" in class. I'm not saying that what the kid is wrong, but don't tattle on him flat-out... just tell him to stop before you go to the teacher and the whole class finds out and the kid gets expelled. But then, the whole class got mad at her. With reason, or not. It do... But the point is that this feels like kindergarden. JUST BE NICE TO EACH OTHERS. DON'T BE PENISES.

But the point is, you're just imagining those things, which is what causes you to set up this neat little world where a black lesbian has an Ivy League education just because she's smart, ignoring all of the extra obstacles that would be in her way compared to someone with more social privilege.

You're able to do this by comparing different kinds of circumstances — the person born with white and male privilege but little money or academic skill (and indeed, these are handicaps!), and the person born into the world with similar handicaps, who has already overcome them, preventing us from actually comparing their circumstances.

When oppressed people reach recognizable pinnacles of success, like an Ivy League education, it's because they worked harder than lots of other people might have had to, despite other advantages they might have had.
I have something similar. Not so much the colors...but I get a definite sense of being in different kind of "spaces" depending on the music. Hard to describe as there's no real visual aspect to it, but I might feel like I'm in a small tight room with lots of fabrics in it for one song, and under a huge concrete dome for another. I have certain "rooms" that I look for when I search for music I like.

I also frisson to music, sometimes very hard, it feels like raw lightening is being pumped through me.
Having South take that leap into Django core will be awesome.

I'll bet one natural result of it entering core will be better shared understanding of best practices & foibles of different backends.

Managing migrations on increasingly large tables is stressful for me primarily due to my lack of knowledge, moreso than fragility in any piece of the puzzle.

This is silly. Just because Scalzi has problems with listening to what people are saying, does not mean that everyone else has. Also, just because it's good to listen, emphatize and understand where people are coming from, it's not good for anyone to just stand there and take abuse. Nip it in the bud. Don't feed the trolls. Respect people who respect you. If people are silent and don't share their feelings and opinions, ask them questions, get them engaged into the conversation. Be a builder, feed constructive, respectful discussion.

Assuming that everybody has something worth listening to makes a huge, fallacious assumption that simply causes you undue suffering. People use words to inform. People also use words to manipulate and gain power over someone. Recognize the difference. You will feel much better and be a much more effective communicator.

Just because the only way you understand discussion is in order to share information and discuss things logically, someone else may just use words to try and twist your mind, use whatever dirty tactic to gain an advantage over you, or over a group. They don't care about logic, they don't care about information, they don't care about fairness. Only thing in their mind is power. Recognize.
Interesting you blame Android that all your apps crash, when it is most likely CyanogenMod. I'm still running stock on my Nexus 7 and I don't get any crashes.
the example of walking through a dark parking lot to demonstrated 'straight white privilege' is pretty shitty. in fact it's probably the worst example you could choose.

his 'privilege' of not worrying about being assaulted comes from the fact that he is 6' 280 pounds, not because he's white or male or straight. a big gay black man (or woman, for that matter) of the same stature probably doesn't feel that twinge of fear his petite asian female colleage felt walking through a dark parking lot.

smaller/shorter straight white guys still have to worry about getting beaten up or bullied or robbed. in fact bullying it's kind of a wide spread problem these days affecting everyone.

in my experience most straight white guys have no problem understanding their privilege in society, i work with a lot of them and they joke around about how being a "white dude" is awesome. it certainly doesn't suck. lots of these guys grew up in diverse neighborhoods or went to school with people from different backgrounds so they have heard stories or seen first hand how people different from themselves go about life. anyone with average IQ and

however, there are some that just don't get it and no amount of reading blog posts is going to help them understand, it just takes time (age) and personal experience. or they're just a couple of IQ points below the threshold it takes to think about these things in an abstract manner (beyond "my life is all that exists in this world.")

I've never seen an apt package that embeds ruby like Vagrant does.

But - it works! (my dev platform is Ubuntu 12.04)

Perhaps you don't need to embed all dependencies - just Ruby.

Good luck in thinking this thru!

Google Ads Another Big Name In Artificial Intelligence To Its Employee Roster
This is a good point and I'm not arguing for-or-against an open ecosystem. I'm just saying, if Apple wants to stick with the closed keyboard system, then they really need to put some resources into making the default -- and only -- choice as good as it can be.

I'm currently just using iOS (on the iPad), thanks to losing my Android phone to a robber. I haven't bought a new smartphone yet but whenever I think of making the decision -- and I've been using iOS exclusively for years until my recent Android purchase -- the flawed typing in iOS makes the decision easy.

But I'll also concede that's because I'm not a technophonbe...the default keyboard selection on Android seems to be good, but configuring and installing new ones is probably not straightforward for many casual users.

Yes, we hope to make installing and upgrading GitLab much easier this way.

One thing that I've learned as I've become familiar with the concept of privilege is that if you think something is getting swept under the rug, it's usually just that you haven't found the huge pile of analysis and discussion of it.

"People are all privileged in different ways and in different circumstances" is pretty closely tied to the concept of intersectionality.

And yes, there are specific situations where generally unprivileged groups have privilege over generally privileged groups. But there are two main reasons nobody wants to focus on those situations:

1. Those situations are typically so minor and so rare that addressing them just isn't a priority,

2. The same prejudice that causes those situations is generally far more problematic in the opposite direction.

You might want to read this, if you haven't: http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/what-about-the-me... . It's aimed at a male audience that is basically unfamiliar with privilege, so anyone who's well read on the subject is likely to cringe at some of their oversimplifications. What's interesting about it is that it uses the point that men are hurt by sexism as a call for more men to get involved with feminism.

Yes, but I can assure you that when it comes to discussing privilege, well, yes, everyone else does have.

WANT TO HIRE AN AFFORDABLE SEO FIRM?
Hiring an Affordable SEO firm to Get Instant search engine ranking on the top ten pages equals Successful Search engine optimization, which is not a new thing for most website owners.
But if you are among those who don’t know what it is? Then let me brief you – it basically increases the visibility as well as usability of your business. Having an attractive website is not the only criteria to be successful in your business. You really need your ranking to be high on ranking to the top search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.
Your website is like a mirror of your business and it advertise your services so it is very important that it should be visible to maximum number of people. To make your business achieve higher goals you need to hire a company with amazing reputation in the SEO industry. This field is so popular that so many people have jumped into it, but you can’t expect quality from everyone. Still perfection is not delivered by everyone. So you need to be careful while choosing an SEO firm.
There are so many Seo firms providing affordable (seo) search engine optimization services. Don’t forget to check their work and if you are assured of the quality then you can move a step ahead. There are so many tasks that need to be done in SEO, so you really need few experts to handle all those tasks. What they basically do? They will help you in increasing your targeted traffic; this is the best thing that will happen to your business after you hire reliable Seo firm. Then they also improve the edge of competition. All this will help you in increasing the number of your clients. It’s really amazing the way you cut your competition. It will also provide you larger customer base. Millions of searches are conducted every day and just think how beneficial it will be if you’ll be there on the top of search engines. Very rare people search for their required data on 2nd page. So now you can imagine how important it is.
KDE joins the Outreach Program for Women
I think it should be more like "Roll a tin can down the stairs, then ask an English speaker to write down what it sounded like, and compare it to a random Chinese sentence." I'm afraid even then the results wouldn't be similar at all...

In Czech we would transcribe it bum, cink, prásk, řach. Which doesn't look like pinyin at all. Incidentally, we also use a different transcription of Chinese, instead of Wo chadianr shuaidao le we would write Wo čcha-tien-(r) šuaj-tao le. This joke wouldn't work at all

But your comment is really awesome.
Thanks a lot - your contribution is much appreciated! I hope this helps set a trend.
Is the part about it costing $25,000 Million to "trick the network" true any more, given the advent of ASICs into the mining arena? User 67117 on BTC Guild is currently processing 6,348.98 GH/s, or roughly 10% of the entire mining network. While not cheap, it appears it could be relatively affordable to hit the 50% mark.
Irrelevant to technology? I don't think so. Let's ban everything some people think is irrelevant to technology that might offend someone.
And thanks to companies like Samsung, we can finally wave our hands in front of our phones to swipe pages and awkwardly hover over the screen with our fingers to interact with our phone in new and completely useless ways. Seriously, there's not a whole lot of useful innovation happening on either side of the fence. Smartphones have peaked and are now commodities. Arguing about who's more innovative in this space is like trying to make the case for Ford being more innovative than Chevy because they added a motion sensor to their trunks so people can open them by waving their foot underneath the bumper.

Can we just move on, and for the love of god, stop using the term "Fanboy"?
They should've stated that the data comes from StatCounter upfront. I thought they had their own metrics.

Pasting from an earlier comment:

One big difference is that NetMarketShare tries to measure unique clients, while StatCounter measures web page hits.

Since the power users browse (probably a magnitude of order) more web pages than the normal users, Chrome and to a lesser extent Firefox is overrepresented in power users who browse a ton.

Toothpaste marketshare analogy. It's possible that 70% of people use Colgate and 30% use Crest, but Colgate sales by volume are only 40% vs. 60% for Crest, since Crest users tend to brush more daily and use more of the toothpaste when they do for some reason.

Or a car analogy: Toyota sells 40% of cars and Honda only 30%, but 60% of miles driven on roads are by Honda cars since they use it more. Which has a higher marketshare?

Building hidden compartments for people in SoCal is stupid. Building them after you see 800k stuffed in a car is not just the sign of an idiot, it's the sign of someone consciously choosing to profit from facilitating criminal activity. And it can be totally valid to punish one person who helps out many criminals more harshly than one single criminal. It's also the case that sentences are handed down not just based on what the defendant did, but what the prosecutor could prove, and its quite possible that it Anaya left more evidence that could be used against him than a seasoned criminal.

I know I'm a cynic/paranoid, but is this in any way tied to the increase in cyber espionage? There's been rumors of the US pushing for backdoors and/or not disclosing exploits in windows and applications, is this China's response to that? Is China looking to do something similar with Linux by using Ubuntu as a trojan to get subtle changes added?

I get very concerned anytime any govt entity wants to get involved with a project.
I don't see anything in the WSJ article about piracy. The JSTOR article is behind a paywall, but from the preview it looks to be discussing much the same thing: The major studios are destroying the independents as a result of more control over distribution channels, greater economies of scale, larger budgets to make better movies and their ability to spread risk over a larger number of productions.

If anything that makes the argument for new distribution technologies that could allow the independents to reach greater audiences without using the distribution channels under the control of the major studios.

Acknowledging that you were born with certain advantages, and that said advantages make you blind to the difficulties that people who are not like you face, is a weird thing to call "self-flagellation". Or narcissism for that matter. Like it is literally the opposite of narcissism.

I forget which awesome person said it, but the correct response to realizing you have privilege is not to feel guilty or self-hating. It's to feel responsible. You've been given immense advantages; you should use them to help others who have been less fortunate. So no, I doubt John Scalzi hates himself very much.
I'm not, and I use Ubuntu. I'd love a good tutorial to start learning about it.
There's hope, though: every time a link like this is posted, a few of the folks who haven't had their "ah-ha!" moments yet may get nudged in that direction (just as the commenter he quotes did). Those nudges do have an effect, and they do add up. Or at least, they did for me.

I just wish there was a way to make it happen faster.
If you have a low IQ, the amount of extra work you have to put in in order to successful in a well paying career will be far higher than someone of high intelligence.

>Sure there was. If AT&T had configured their server properly then that's exactly what it would have given him.

That's not a valid test. If a company decides they didn't want you to see something after the fact (as in this case) they can always just claim they didn't configured their servers how they meant to.

>If I wanted to introduce some irony then I would have to ask you whether you were "blaming the victim" here.

What blaming the victim? The victims were the people who's data got released. Since they trusted AT&T with it that would make AT&T responsible. Everyone is talking about Weev but chances are he wasn't the only person on the planet to know about this.
