Being open in this context is like being pregnant, you either are or not. You can't be half-pregnant or half-open.

The remark about the script-kiddie able to find vulnerabilities is ridiculous for a wide variety of reasons. Script-kiddies are not able to find vulnerabilities in any kind of system. Computer hackers obsessed with security do that and (most of the times) it's not easy by any means, i.e. Saurik.

Tl;dr "To re-iterate, if you are able to change the kernel your device uses, this feature will not be a concern. It’s possible to either disable dm-verity in the kernel, or to set it up to use your own keys to authenticate the system hash. For users who choose to buy carrier-branded devices and accept a locked bootloader, but find a way to root the device, take heed of this warning. It’s not at all unlikely (in my technical opinion) for this to happen on future devices. If you want the ability to modify the software on your phone, I’d avoid anything with a locked bootloader, and ensure you can modify the kernel (to disable or modify the dm-verity signatures)."

Individual Android phones have had better customer ratings than the iPhones since the S3 and Note 2 (amongst others). And one of the key features the owners report as liking is the larger screens.

Apple prefer to use ratings like JD Power, that group by manufacturer, as that helps those who only target the high-end. Though even on that metric various competitors have gained swiftly and Samsung tablets scored slightly higher than Apple in the latest results.

The distinction is that the cleaning fee is per stay; I'd agree that it would be smarmy if the fee was per night.

So if you stay one night you pay $35 and if you stay seven nights you still pay $35. Raising the per night rental fee would mean penalize people who stay longer than the average stay.
Receiving: I get a lot of mails from Indian companies for outsourcing work; I delete them. I sometimes get mails from EU freelancers; I don't delete them. So depending on the content they seem to work. Calls never work for me; if I see an unrecognized / blocked number i'm not answering.

Sending: works fine if you write a targeted mail / make a targeted call. In software consultancy my experience is that companies you call are more often than not looking for a new 'partner' to have software developed with as they will commonly rotate the companies they work with because the grass could be greener elsewhere. Same for products; if you have a good/better proposition of something they need or already have they'll want to listen.

I think cold whatever works unless it's perceived as spam. That's why you need to be careful in composing and timing such communication. For instance; it is 4.5 hours later in India, so i routinely get mails/calls from outsourcing companies at around 5-6 my time which is 9:30 for them. That is automatically spam to me; if you want to make me a business proposition, you have to do it on my time.

Thorax author here again. A few non charitable things have come out of the development of Thorax. On the developer happiness / retention front, I still work on projects for Walmart because I got to help open source Thorax. I'm now extremely happy there due to other closed source projects, but when I've been less happy it's kept me there.

On the code quality front, we haven't actually gotten a ton of contributions from the OSS community, but it's a niche framework and not the next Rails, Angular, etc. But what I believed happened when we open sourced it is that we held ourselves to a higher standard of documentations, versioning, testing, etc. Now that we use it across multiple departments with teams that don't really interact with each other directly, having something more stable becomes extremely important. If there is no external accountability I think it's much easier to decide to break an API.
Ten years ago I funded my own company and became a Free Software vegetarian : not eating nor cooking anything but Free Software. I'm a developer and a few years later switched back to being an employee rather than a manager.

During the interviews I apologized for the inconveniences of exclusively using and making Free Software. The vegetarian image helped a great deal. What also helped a lot was that I already made the commitments years ago. It would have been a lot harder otherwise : how could you justify applying for a new job and at the same time apply new standards ?

I work as a Ceph developer in the context of OpenStack : very fashionable and easier to get jobs. That also helps a lot.

Potential good side of freemium hardware: Acquiring low-end hardware and somehow hacking it into a higher-end version. Manufacturers will try to make cheaper hardware by cramming more functionality onto one SoC, thus slowly driving down costs for technology in general.

Potential bad side of freemium hardware: More locked down systems, more undocumented hardware, possible backdoors and more spying (how else are we going to recover the cost of the hardware?) Devices could emerge that are "dumber," i.e. they are merely proprietary touchscreen frontends for services offered in "the cloud." People might like getting "a free tablet" even if it just does one thing.
my bad... but not something I would need, as I believe smoothing alters the signature (if only aesthetic). Hope it will be useful to others.

Note: man, the smoothing becomes a horrible ink-blobby mess... especially with the mouse. Using a tablet (Wacom) gives better results, but this is more related to the accuracy of the digitizer... but still the results is a mess; as if something just dipped a fountainpen in a pot of ink
We're talking languages here; the way a grammar construct helps the programmer.

So do I. We've had CSP, Occam, Newsqueak, Alef, Limbo; now we have Erlang and Go. I'm just puzzled by the walled garden phenomenon present in such communities as that of the .NET programmers. The very fact that you're comparing C# to Node.js (!), of all things, just confirms it. It isn't very difficult to beat Node.js in terms of the language quality. Hardly seems like a fair fight to me.

I wonder if this list should really be targetted at a good product manager.
I'd say a good CEO, COO, CTO, CIO, and programmer should follow the exact same rules. These are the things that are important to a business.

Some might say "why does a programmer need to be involved in things like design, forecasting, prioritizing, etc. etc. I'd say it's because it helps them understand what they are building and why, and can therefore help them have the greatest impact on the business.

Agree with your point about hibernate and its derivatives. Unfortunately with .Net you're stuck with that or EF which is even worse or something off the shelf and even crappier. TBH I've actually used raw ADO.Net with provider abstraction and dapper.net recently as replacements.

Despite its inefficiency, the old CQRS pattern with commands that INSERT/UPDATE and queries as typed DataTables are actually the most scalable solution I've found (over several years, not just on small projects).
The larger point is that it is worth having multiple implementations of a good idea to choose from, depending what to optimise for.
Same LOL
Sustained only for as long as hardware it is running on can be bought. In practice, it will be replaced with new hardware with new proprietary drivers really soon, making additional reverse engineering necessary.
The purpose of dynamic is not to turn C# into a dynamic language. It was added to make it easier to interface with certain other parties. Sometimes you just don't have the type information (practical example is handling JSON data) and dynamic can make the code cleaner in these cases.

Firstly, you meant "e.g.", not "i.e."

In addition, I'm not sure what Saurik, the creator of Cydia, has to do with this discussion at all.

Finally, and most importantly, you don't seem to understand the current mobile market. Most users are the end-all-be-all of end users. Many people I know think that most of the apps on the iOS App Store are developed by Apple. People install apps without thinking. Tons of personal information is stored on your phone and in these apps, such as contacts and banking information.

Google/Android is open in the sense that Android is open source, so hypothetically anyone can hack on it.

You are the person who is half-pregnant. You want the normal end user experience, where you don't have to worry about compiling the operating system yourself, but you want it to be "hackable". That is not the definition of open. That is the definition of insecure. Because most Android users are not sophisticated computer users like yourself, a hackable operating system is just a bad idea.

If you want an OS that you can do whatever you want with, and is incredibly insecure, then fork Android and have at it. Do that, instead of complaining whenever Google makes changes that you don't understand and affect your somewhat specific and not very common use case.

I wish this would become become big. Something I wonder about the closed hardware drivers.. I am sorry, no hardware hacker, but what I always wonder is whether or not something like ReNouveau for Nvidia Graphics Cards would also be helpful to such projects. They did a really great job at reverse engineering and writing nice drivers. I think there would be lots of people running something like that, even when they don't use Replicant, but would love to support them.
My thought was "Damnit, that's was going to be my next purchase!"
The game is cool, you need to give people a way to invest in it though.

Once you're finished with the game, you should ask for people's emails to post them on a scoreboard.

You can then re-engage people by sending them an email when their rank starts falling etc

I think this has a lot of potential, you just need to harness it in the right way.
Nit: You're referring to the UTC offset, which is not the same thing as a timezone. The offset lets you easily get back to UTC as you say, but only for the datetime in question. A (machine readable) timezone would be something like America/Los_Angeles and wouldn't disambiguate the timestamp. (You don't know whether it was pre- or post-transition without an offset.) The timezone does, however, let you always unambiguously convert UTC to a local datetime with offset. Abbreviations like CET/CEST aren't standardized -- just read the tz mailing list for all the recurring drama regarding the abbreviations in Australia.

It is at least heavily weighted towards speech like the previous comment mentioned. This is difficult for modern folk to understand.

Unlocking the bootloader nominally both voids the warranty and requires a complete wipe of everything on the phone.
Now that's interesting.
Is there any link to the new API or at least to the announcement?
If people are modding their phone by loading a new kernel as well as the modified file system, they won't have a problem. So for people with unlocked bootloaders, this isn't a problem; and if a handset doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked, refuse to buy it! There are plenty of perfectly good (and in my opinion, superior) choices out there which allow for the bootloader to be unlocked. All of the Nexus devices, for example....

There is another advantage of using a locked down file system --- you may not be able to use a rootkit to break root and then modify the file system, but some unfriendly adversary, such as the FBI or the NSA, won't be able to do it to your phone without your knowledge, either. I would think that's worth the inconvenience of making sure you buy a phone with an unlockable bootloader. (Since unlocking the phone requires a wipe of the disk, you don't have to worry about the FBI/NSA doing this to access your data on the phone without your knowledge.)

About Nouveau, on a 2 years old laptop I have with an Nvidia card, I always had problems with Ubuntu and Nvidia's proprietary drivers, up to the point that I got so sick of it as to buy a new laptop without an Nvidia card on it. But then I tried out the Nouveau drivers and oh my, the problems vanished. The Nouveau drivers are right now better than the official drivers for some Nvidia cards. And they'll never vanish, even if Nvidia decides to drop support for older GeForce cards.

Humans program the computers, though, so the computers can't remove the confusion in places where the human government changes the rules a handful of days before a transition time. For example, this happens every year in Morocco. The entire country must update all their computers manually -- I don't see any way all devices could have correct tzdata in time for the transitions.
wow, I kind of disagree. I don't know what businesses you've been in but I find that if you think your "business aim" is something that it "might" help to "hang off of something else the callee might find desirable" - then your approach is really tough.

Businesses exist because customers love paying them. There are few to no business aims that you could possibly fulfill without being inherently interesting to the people you're writing or being in touch with.

If you don't have an offering that is interesting, it's not that you should hang your offer on something that is of interest - it's that you need to fix your product/market fit!

That said, there are appropriate and inappropriate venues. As shown by my shopping habits, I love buying groceries, or paying for utilities - but that doesn't mean I'd like to see emails about either.

So I can see that you might have to overcome the limits of your channel. Overall, however, you should be able to find channels where your business aims align easily with what customers want.
