Though it might be a lot to write, but just a small case as an example. If you have two different variables initialized on same line number in svn, it is possible that in merging two different branches (not revisions), svn quietly puts them BOTH in the code which doesn't even produce a compile time error and it takes ages to find out the actual cause. I have actually been through this since we used to have a dpi product whose separately developed branches for different target platforms needed to be merged and it was all svn. At best svn would give you manual conflicts to resolve. With git, the number of conflicts to be resolved by hand is far less.

STLS for opportunistic encryption will increase the likelihood that your outbound mail is in fact encrypted. Still not a guarantee.

A large number of major email providers support STLS, so the uptake is better than you might think. A lot of smaller shops don't. How that affects you will really depend on what your mail use patterns are.

And you can always use PGP/MIME or S/MIME. That's increasingly prevalent in corporate networks, though starting from near nil it's still pretty near nil.
Fanboyism? Oh please. How old are you? Paraonid jerk.
It’s interesting that you would hold up reddit as an example of the “positive sociological impact” of anonymity on the internet, when OP specifically describes her desire to avoid “sexist, racist, homophobic, sophomoric, monosyllabic jerks”—precisely the sort of creature that reddit breeds. Though to be fair, the anonymity may not be to blame for reddit’s culture, seeing as other internet forums with similar traditions of anonymity have managed to avoid attracting such unpleasant crowds.

Google takes data deletion very, very seriously. If you delete your profile, all the data associated with it will most certainly be eradicated. When you read things like "over the next few weeks," consider that there are things like regular offline backups (maybe on tape). That kind of media is thoroughly cleaned out on a regular schedule, but due to its offline nature you can't really expect it to be cleared immediately when you press the button.

>The tallest buildings aren't in the City, they're in Canary Wharf, a privately owned near-island with 24-hour guards at all entry points, and barriers that go up on the roads at night.

Not to nitpick but this isn't strictly true. The tallest building is in neither but very close to the City, then the 2nd tallest is in Canary Wharf but the third and fourth are definitely in the City again. You have some in the Wharf and some in the City after that but I am not sure if the difference regarding skyscrapers in the 2 parts is very relevant or explicit anymore.

But on reddit you can create an account called "fred_jones" or "slwkajbgj" instead of "Eleanora Rashid-Feldman" and avoid having that behaviour directed at you like a heat-seeking missile.

I absolutely love 4chan with quote inlining switched on. You get all the benefits of a flat conversation (which I think is much easier to follow,) but if you need context on a post, you can expand the replies into something resembling a thread without losing your place on the page. It's a win-win.

It's definitely a shame about the captcha, but like a couple of people have already said, it's necessary.
I agree. And it's not as bad as we are portraying it.
The quality that breeds such jerks is simply comfort. When people are comfortable, they make bad jokes, express unpopular opinions, reference subcultures and so on. Whether comfort is a positive thing, sociologically, has occasionally been debated, but only in comfortable settings.

Yes. Nothing particularly odd use case wise. All git operations started to fail if going back in history a few revs. Turns out a rev somewhere was corrupt. It didn't fail with a helpful message either.
Depends on what mean by "working well". I don't post on Quora nor do I read anything posted there because they don't let you read without logging in. I heard many others say similar things.

That doesn't mean Quora isn't working well for you, but you should be aware of the fact that some who are willing to contribute in constructive ways are not contributing to Quora as things stand.

I think what OP is saying is that they are arguably not attempting to drive adoption of Google+ the social network, but rather drive adoption of Google+ the single-sign-on system.

The fact that both things are tied so closely together is what's causing all the problems.

Personally it seems like they could have just stuck with the concept of a Google Account, which I think still exists anyway. Use that thing for single-sign-on and let people link GMail, YT, AdWords, G+ accounts to it.

They are essentially attempting to "rebrand" their identity system with G+ at the core. But what we are seeing is that there is major friction and unintended consequences when you attempt this kind of shift and have so many users with tons of different use-cases across different individual identity systems.

I don't envy their position, although I do think this was probably mostly avoidable, or at least a lot of the problems (especially with YT) should have been foreseeable, and so they really only have themselves to blame.

This. These kinds of posts always make me roll my eyes. Frequently they get hundreds of upvotes.

As I understand it (based only on internet resources and the anecdotal experience of friends) the E-3 has many benefits beyond a H1B.

It's cheaper, easier to apply for, processed faster, allows heterosexual married spouses to work, is renewable indefinitely, and has a separate annual quota from H1B's (that to my knowledge has so far never been exhausted).

There are a few catches, some technical and quite specific (e.g. limits on international travel). The main one seems to be you will need to leave the country (possibly overseas) every 2 years to apply for an extension.

It is not a dual-intent visa, but there seems to be some contradictions about that and some people seem to have made the transition to a green card. I imagine you'd need to talk to a lawyer about that - having a green card application in progress when it comes times for an E-3 extension would potentially be an issue.

As a student, I support pair programming. Last semester, we did a six-man project building an client-server battleships game that offered singleplayer and multiplayer.

We had to create a strategy to manage the quality of the project and chose a task-based pair programming strategy. In those student projects it is often the case, that the better students do a rather big portion of the project while the others try to keep up.
With pair programming this was not the case. Everyone developed on a similar level. Yes, it probably slowed down some of the developers, but for a student project, the main goal is to learn. And pair programming was a way to do that.

Also, our project quality really benefitted from this. After developing the basic server, client and game logic, we switched teams to do the next step. For example, the team that connected the client to the server would now have a person that knows the server side and one that ones the client side. This team changing was done on a regular basis and helped putting the software together. There were less problems with the code of different people working together than in most other projects and I believe, that pair programming was a big factor in that.

So, I can't speak for the work environment, but for learning to be a software developer, it really was a good experience.

"I see this kind of "shock" throughout the techy mainstreamy politcally correct communities.

You can amend max-x & max-y variables in the script to change spreadsheet size to make bigger.

For others...

The Rebol 2 binaries to run this spreadsheet script can be found here - http://www.rebol.com/download-view.html

And from the shell/command line you can also run the script straight off the internet like so:

./rebol http://www.rebol.org/download-a-script.r?script-name=rebocalc.r

The spreadsheet is simple to use (beginner level) but surprisingly very powerful (Rebol types, expressions & functions are available).
I expect your simulation simulates the movements of all mice simultaneously in time order.

If so, it might be easier to directly create the overlap results from the simulation. For example, when a mouse enters a box, check and remember what other mice are there. When that mouse leaves, check again and create the record for the stay.

If that isn't possible or feasible, check whether your database supports range types and queries. It might be worthwhile to migrate to PostgreSQL just for this (see https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/7/73/Range-types-pgopen-2...)

i'll consider doing that whenever facebook stops showing me sex related ads (condoms, pseudo-dating sites, etc.), bidding/daily discount sites, etc. and no, these ain't retargeting ads. the only decent ads i see are the retargeting ones.

it doesn't matter how many times i "hide this ad > Why did you hide it? > reason x" that it will continue to show me related ads that i have no interest in. "targeted" is one of those over-used buzzwords that i'm still waiting to do what it is supposed to do - i won't hold my breath.

May I ask what you did not like about Bing? I've found Google's results better in the past, but Bing certainly to be competent and in some instances superior. There's duckduckgo but my experience has been that its index is simply too small for some requests, although it's been a while since I last used it. Its emphasis on privacy is nice though.
@SnydenBitchy - Given the context, Reddit seems off-putting as an example. The comment I reposted was not in direct response to the OP.

Tehwalrus makes an excellent observation. The role that anonymity played for OP on YT would serve her well on other communities like Reddit.

Specifically to your remark on the questionable 'positive impact' of Reddit: I would argue that it has done a great deal to heighten the visibility of the Free and Open Internet/NSA stories and cases of corruption or injustice. There's a lot of insensitive humor, but I'm not going to say my (or anyone's) opinion of that matters, as long as no one is hurt or put in an inescapable position.

The bigger point remains: Which web-communities depend on anonymity? As OP's story highlighted, clearly she (and presumably others), as a Youtube user - depend(ed) on anonymity.

I really like this approach to the gender imbalance problem: grow the pool, don't lower the bar. I think this is the way to go, and I hope that more tech organizations will think of it this way.
Formally, ordinals start at zero [0]. We owe their latest definition to Von Neumann, but former (technical) definitions were similar.

- The layman counts from one

- The uptight programmer counts from zero, because he thinks Dijkstra said so [1].

- The meta-contrarian (which I used to be) says fuck it, ordinals start at one [0].

- The meta-meta-contrarian reads Von Neumann[1], realizes he was formally wrong, and goes one step further in pedanticity, back to zero [0].

My brother works for a digital signage company here in Sweden and combined with my experiences in IT I would say there simply isn't enough competence.

On one hand it scares companies because they think they can't find Linux people when they need them.

On the other hand the universities are crunching out .NET and Java coders who have no ideological reason to use Linux.

Something that could fill the niche here is open software platforms for digital signage. Because the more user friendly Linux gets, the more I'm seeing of it in Enterprise environments. So if only someone could make the Fedora or Ubuntu of digital signage using open source.

Your point that "only criminals would use throwaway phones to register accounts" is completely wrong (I'm surprised you haven't even used "terrorists" witch such a line of reasoning). There's no site that I want to give my phone to, and I'm certainly not involved in any illegal activities. Ever heard for privacy in the digital age? Anything you won't protect will be sold and replicated in as many databases as possible.

If some site like Google would insist on the phone number, I'd buy a SIM card only for that purpose.

But now there is a push to even not accept such "for one purpose" phone uses. Bad, awful for privacy.
It sounds like we're saying the same thing. I just was pointing out that this is all entirely consistent with the entire point of G+ being the "further tracking of what's happening on the internet."
Kudos to the author for trying to tackle a difficult subject, that most photoshop users don’t understand in a very technical or precise way, but would benefit greatly from understanding better.

Unfortunately this doesn’t (1) show you how the blend modes actually work in practice, or (2) tell you what to do with each blend mode or why you should care about it.

The text is okay, but text really isn’t a good medium for quickly/concisely conveying information about visual effects. (I’m reminded of mathematics papers from the days before we had mathematical notation.)

I really like this resource, from 2006: http://dunnbypaul.net/blends/

Koeri in these comments recommends Kai’s Power Tips. Also good is the book Photoshop Channel Chops, from the mid 1990s, now out of print. Much more useful than almost all of the Photoshop books published more recently.
Either you were very late to the party, or you have a very short memory.

Most people didn't have a "Google account". They had a GMail account. If they had Blogger or YouTube accounts, they usually had them before Gmail.

It was bad enough when Google started shoving those accounts into one and tacking services on people didn't ask for without politely asking them to sign-up. But now they are forcing people into an entirely new service that has the explicit purpose to expose them and to annihilate their privacy.

I wouldn't mind the principle of one single account for all Google services in principle, if a) I can have multiple accounts, b) such an account can be know as "honeybooboo666", and doesn't need my real name or phone number, and c) that account does not to automatically sign me in to services I didn't sign up for and I don't want to use on that account.

The latter is especially important so that anything "honeybooboo666" does on YouTube isn't accidentally registered under my other accounts of MyJob@BigCorp and MyRealName@Family

That's why people have separate accounts. honeybooboo666, MyJob@BigCorp and bowlofpetunias are very different entities, and trying to "out" them all as "MyRealName who works at BigCorp" is just not on.

That's an interesting point. It's illegal for Google to store my personal data without my consent (I am a EU citizen).

I suppose they can store other people's address books because it's the "legitimate interest of a third party". I'm pretty sure they can't then use that data (my phone number) for any purposes beyond the third party interest - which means they can't use it for advertising, or to link to any user profiles they may have on me. Basically, they can store address book data, but they can't look at it for their own purposes.

That obviously doesn't apply to US persons, who have no data protection right - hence the horror stories of "friend suggestions" that have obviously come through service providers peeking at address books. I wonder how they can practically filter out EU citizens from that - I suppose it's easy to spot an EU phone number.

(Just to head off the inevitable "Google doesn't care about EU law" scoffing... I think you'll find they do. They only get to export Europeans' personal data to the US because they've agreed to uphold the Safe Harbour principles. If they abuse that privilege, they'll have to do a lot of expensive re-engineering.)
