There are no slogs in business. Nokia is on the brink of death.

The problem with the WP strategy is and always has been the exclusivity. From Nokia's perspective, why in the world would I want to exclusively sell WP devices, and not _also_ Android devices?

Note that that's what the others do. They're selling WP. Should it become a huge hit, Samsung and LG already have WP devices. Should it fail - well, obviously they've got tons of Android devices / experience.

Why would you want to tie yourself to a single technological choice like that? The answer is you don't want to, you never should, and Nokia is suffering because of this decision. I know they got cash for it - it was a very bad deal.

This bold bet idea - where did this come from? What's bold about limiting your own choices? That's not bold, that's stupid.

I agree that the product name Windows Phone is one of the worst ideas ever in business.

At a time when clearly the very last thing people want is all the shit that they associate with Windows .... name your new phone OS that.

It's scary to think such a big and powerful corporation as Microsoft is so delusional as to think people actually like windows. That they don't see that people buy Windows because they have no choice. MS brilliantly set up this whole quasi monopoly, but somehow they seem to believe their own marketing spin on it...
That makes me pretty worried about the quality of your machine.

Angular vs. Ember for BIIIG tables
Haskell's typeclasses (which are almost identical to traits) support polymorphic nominal subclassing just fine.

Haskell actually has whole program type inference (unlike Scala, which only does local inference), so fold/map will always return the right type as well, but you also get to not have to put types anywhere if you don't want to (including function signatures).

Scala's main advantage over Haskell is being able to call into Java.

The fact that you think it is a problem with the configuration syntax is an indication that you didn't read the wiki page, or the important part of my comment.

NginX's configuration is declarative.

The reason the imperative if was given powers beyond its means was because people clamored for the feature.

The reason it's still there is because removing it would break some working configurations that use if.

If you don't have experience with declarative programming and you think in terms of imperative programming, it might seem "horrible behavior", but actually, it's what is to be expected from mixing the two paradigms in the way it is being mixed.

The real wart is under the hood where-in location based if's are converted to sub-locations. This is where many problems related to IfIsEvil stem from.
metro.co.uk is the web site of a free commuter newspaper handled out in some cities in the UK. It probably wouldn't be my first choice for science news.

Dr Seluanov's bio [1] links to a number of papers, most of which appear to be cancer-related. There is a pubmed abstract and full text available for "Hypersensitivity to contact inhibition provides a clue to cancer resistance of naked mole-rat." [2].

Mine isn't, I run an OSS system that lets me verify that the camera is indeed off. It also works disconnected without sabotaging the functionality and software that doesn't require a connection. The camera led is impossible to disable without hardware tampering, too. And I can even tape it and it will continue working.

The XBOX PRISM is a different creature altogether, and a very worrisome precedent precisely because we already have smartphones and tablets that could potentially follow that path.
could we stop with the "we may have found something that will cure cancer / aids vaccine / cure alzeimer " news ? i know, we're scientists, we're supposed to believe in scientifical progress.

politics is all about compromises and gains.

you vote for whoever gives you more advantages. not the more just or whatever fairy tale... if it weren't for other people also wanting often advantages on opposite areas, the only limit would be your morals.

So, for me, a nobody middle class, 100k deaths for democracy/political freedom/etc is much better than 600k deaths for the interests of an elite i'm not part. Your example does not stand a millisecond of analysis. The answer is clear as the day.

even if the numbers were inverses, it's still the political, democratic, sound choice on the 1st, that gives me advantages.
>If something is "Free" people will hoard it which will reduce its value and increase its cost to everyone. There will be massive shortages of available bus space. With a paid system, people are forced to economize--do I really need to pay to take the bus in winter 5 blocks to buy groceries, or can I walk? But if it's "Free," then people will not economize. The people who need the bus the most, to go to work or hospital or whatever, will have to compete for limited space with people who don't need to be taking the bus.

This is a popular theory with certain economists but has not been borne out by experiment. E.g. my country introduced pricing for prescription drugs (previously free) based on exactly that reasoning. Turns out overall usage barely changed (the very poorest stopped taking their prescriptions because they couldn't afford them, but they're a relatively small proportion of society) and administering the payment system cost far more than the money saved in reduced usage or collected in fees.
For servers:
3 letter abbreviation for location, first number indicating the iteration of the datacenter in that area, Second number is the floor of the building the system is at, hyphen, row number of the cabinet the system is in, Iteration of the cabinet in the row, hyphen, lowest rack unit the server is located in.

eg: chi18-018-23

chicago datacenter 1, floor 8, row 0, cabinet 18, rack unit 23

For switches, simply:
as018-1.chi18 for an aggregation switch, int018-1.chi18 for an internal network switch, ipmi018-1.chi18 for an IPMI switch, And if you have more than switch for a purpose in that cabinet, then the name is 'as018-2.chi18'

The systems are almost always connected to a switch that's in the same cabinet. Though, we keep every system documented in our inventory system, with it's specs, IP addresses, switch ports, and power outlets. System also provides bandwidth graphs from every switch, and if a server as well as ipmi are ever inaccessible, we can remotely control the PDU & Outlet as well. Though, we always have employees onsite at each datacenter to check the console & hardware.
The GIFs total 30MB (!), but as videos[1] they're 1-2MB total. That's a 15x-30x reduction in size.

Surely that large of a reduction in bandwidth and improvement in user experience is worth it?

[1] To get the frames of the GIFs:
for i in "* .gif"; do convert $i -coalesce $(basename $i .gif)-%02d.png; done

And encode them to webm:
for i in "* .gif"; do ffmpeg -f image2 -r 30 -i $(basename $i .gif)-%02d.png -vcodec libvpx -b 1M -crf 5 $(basename $i .gif).webm; done
Too bad they don't realize that this will only make people increasingly angrier...

I'm pretty sure that people who propose and enact laws like this genuinely believe they'll cause people to change their behavior, and that the people whose behavior it won't change should be locked up, anyway.

It's the same kind of fantasy as believing that DRM actually has a meaningful impact on piracy.

Well, we're always given a choice in the end: buy it or don't buy it.

That works with grocery, baked goods, music, perhaps even computers (if you opt not to look at the CPU inside), but game consoles? You can hardly say "fuck Sony, I'm going to buy Final Fantasy for Wii". This only works on a free market, which is a rare sight these days.

This is a pretty bad example to illustrate the fallacy because a 25% confidence is actually extremely good. I don't know what good a test for sociopathy is, but if we had a test this good at identifying terrorists, it would be incredibly useful. If signals intelligence could produce a list of people and guarantee that a quarter of the people on that list are terrorists, it would absolutely revolutionize law enforcement.
I am pleasantly surprised with AngularJS's prowess. I've thrown some really dynamic and tricky stuff at it, and it has never failed.
In the foreseeable future, I think I can take out jQuery from my app altogether.

I'm a self-taught developer, and the learning curve was steep. The to-do app, and Lindquist's videos made it significantly easy, though.
In certain cases the "landscape" of a feature means that what we would see as DRM is simply just a part of that feature. Steam is effectively a DRM platform, but the convenience of my games being backed up for me (and being able to transfer those games across machines when e.g. upgrading) means that the DRM becomes a feature that actually helps me (a good example of DRM being a feature is MMOs). I guess that's where I draw the line - some types of DRM protect the rights of both the consumer and the developer.

Let me put it to you this way, if I were to ever buy a console, I might have considered the XBox One. Microsoft has a history of being partly a benefactor (especially with the 360 and XNA); and things can be changed and improved over time (just like Steam was). We might not have liked the first iteration of the DRM, but it could have been changed (require both devices to be connected to the internet when changing ownership? The horde would have still torn them apart for that).
Nice idea :) i hate it when I'm asked for my zip code even for small purchases, so I give a random one. I'll do it line you from now on.

So long as we are comparing Sony and Microsoft let's not forget which company has actively sued hardware hackers and which hasn't. So add this to your list:

- Doesn't hide behind a marketing facade.

Sony has made a big following with their marketing campaigns that contrast them with Microsoft, but I am really interested to see how the chips actually fall a few months or years in.

While that might be good for Nokia (I am not personally convinced), it brings nothing to the consumers except another shiny vehicle for Google's OS.

Even with being open-source Android is almost impossible to use securely and privately. From Google to every minor app developer everyone is trying to syphon data.
One can install CM, but the permission system is still broken and the moment you install gapps over it one cannot even save contacts locally any more. I could go on, but my conclusion was that it's not worth the bother to try and get Android to be more respectful of one's information, it is designed to do the opposite.

So, no thanks from me. The market needs fresh ideas, not the same semi-open OS with a nicer Nokia camera.

Careful. That's a view that can burn badly. A slog is nothing more than a strategy, which consists of many discrete tactical steps [1].

Dig into Microsoft's acquisition history - they never acquire market leaders. And the world is surprised when, 5 years later, that non-market-leading acquisition is behind a market-leading Microsoft product. Not all work out that way for sure, but those that do, do so spectacularly.

Microsoft's relationship with Nokia is not an acquisition but shows signs of a similar strategy, nonetheless. mhomde's points above [2] are pretty accurate.

Microsoft are masters of the long game.

I needed to put on sun screen to protect myself from the glare of your snarkiness.

You didn't see anything like this 12 years ago, because it simply wasn't possible with just HTML. You had to use a closed source, expensive tool to do it. And 12 years ago, when it was being done by people like Joshua Davies, Manny Tan, that guy behind assembler.org, they were doing something very, very important: they were bringing computer art to every living room, they were exploring generative algorithmic art and they were advancing the idea of what could be done with tech of that time. It was pretty important shit.

This code is useful in a lot of practical ways - games coming to mind almost instantly. But not everything has to be practical. Something can just be beautiful. I find this to be beautiful and fun.

HN needs less posts like yours. It used to not have them. I am glad to see some positive in other comments in this thread, but your comment in particular is relatively useless. Particularly after you admit to using Windows in 2013. That's like someone driving a Ford telling me what a waste of metal a work of art like a Lamborghini is.

Honest question, what would happen to the other three quarters?
Isn't Portland (where I was born) bigger than the entire population of Alaska? For some reason, Oregon and Washington also score badly on homeless problems along with Alaska, probably given...our great weather?

Search for "blue ticket", it might not be practiced anymore, I'm not sure; but I believe there was still something like that going on in the 80s at least, and it was definitely a thing while my mom was growing up.

I remember some of the homeless in Seattle were from Alaska, how they got there...I'm sure if you ask a charity you can get a bus/plane ticket in winter easily enough, even if the gov doesn't do it for you.

Seattle has relatively affordable airfare to Anchorage.
Or if you're in the southwest, I recommend 78266, which is Büsingen, a German enclave in Switzerland.
All the introductory stuff for AngularJS I've seen so far is "client-side" - auto-updating bindings, the ToDo list etc.

Is there a similarly pitched tutorial about how to persist this back to a server, or how to write an API service that interacts best with the AngularJS model? Nothing in the list of video titles suggests that kind of help.
Once you get to 25% that's true.

But today try to ask a few people around you, and see what they say.

> Suppose you have a test that's 90% accurate in identifying people who have a disease, and 90% accurate in identifying people who do not have the disease. Assume that 4% of people have this disease. Hypothetical_Bob is tested, and the test says that he has the disease. What are the chances that Bob actually does have the disease?

Lots of people - smart people too! - struggle with this. Even if you give them pencil and paper and let them doodle around they will often give you an incorrect number. And most of them will be surprised if you tell them it's as low as 26%.
I ask candidates a high-level design problem. So far it appears to be an effective way to identify engineers who can decompose a problem into smaller, digestable subproblems.
