It was not a pardon but a dismissal of an injunction, Samsung can still get paid appropriate royalties by a Federal Court (the FTC's only sanction is an import ban so it would need to be a separate action)

Samsung promised to license those on FRAND terms, Apple will pay what a court sets as FRAND rate. An injunction in such circumstances would probably be a illegal anti-competitive action (at least that is the EU view and that of many US organisations too).

Also there is currently no injunction in this case against Samsung at this point.

Note that in the absence of rules including FRAND licensing commitments standards setting bodies would be illegal trusts which is why this is especially relevant.
Yes. Both Angular and Ember support this pattern pretty effortlessly.
And all that beauty was practically achieved by WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, many years ago. IMHO.
It depends on what build scripts you are talking about.

We use Ant, Maven, MSBuild, Powershell, all without UNIX assumptions.

You can configure workstations via Active Directory.

Microsoft is not to blame if developers still insist in having .exe installers instead of adopting .msi packages.
Without knowing the specifics, the best answer I can come up with here is that it's Javascript -- so yeah, you can write it affect parts of the page, or all of the page. You can have it control just the navigation bar on a site, or the whole site altogether.

There are caveats here -- if you have the library loaded from any page with html5 location mode enabled, it'll take over link-handling on those pages. With Angular, it's easy to circumvent by adding a 'target' attribute to the links, but on a legacy site, that might mean having to touch every page that Angular doesn't already exist on, which would be a chore.

The alternative is to not enable HTML5 location mode (so links are to #/link/) or to adjust the targets on links that aren't meant to be handled by JS.

All summed up though, while it may not be written anywhere, I've always gotten the feeling that Angular prefers to own the entire page, loading partials into views where appropriate, and using separate controllers for other portions of the page. That said, it can work either way, but does take some extra special care.
Yeah, that's essentially what I meant. A coding challenge that takes a handful of hours as a post phone screen/pre onsite screen.. not the first step in the process :)

In chess, tactics are usually shorter term moves that aim to gain material advantage or mate. Pins, skewers, discovered check, forks, double attacks, etc. These are usually in a time frame of around 2-3 moves. This is often described in chess terms as 'concrete' threats.

Strategy concerns more of theoretical ideas, long term possibilities. 10+ moves ahead. This involves pawn structure, where your king is positioned, how your pieces are developed, which side of the board left or right you might launch an attack, end game considerations, etc. How you intend to defend or win the game. This type of play is usually called positional. Whereby the placement of your pieces gives you an overall advantage. In GM level play this is very subtle and 15+ moves ahead. Positional vs. tactical.

As an analogy tactics are like cobra strikes and positional play is like a boa constrictor where tiny shifts strangle the opponent in the end. Both are lethal.

In addition to the other points made here - it's far simpler to adapt a web application you've already built to an off-line chrome app, than it is to start again in a native language.
Let me guess, you used plain cmd instead of PowerShell.

That’s a funny definition of cross-platform. You mean, it’s cross-platform if you use Google’s browser.

And as far as offline goes, that’s an active area of development within the HTML5 spec. It doesn’t strike me as a particular draw given that it’s at least possible, if still somewhat painful, to build truly cross-platform apps with offline capabilities.

Why should I support ChromeOS? ChromeOS is not the web!

Take from the campaign page comments,

1.) Android / iOS “receiver” and “controller” is on the ROADMAP, having them as a “streamer” would also be awesome, but requires that people root/jailbreak their devices, which we can not officially support. (Restrictions on hardware access by vendors unfortunately)

An alternate story in favour of open-office layouts. Here in Aus, the Department of Human Services (DoHS, has had many previous names) is responsible for welfare. The old offices were an arrangement with a counter - staff on one side, clients on the other. Aggressive incidents rose and the counters ended up having old-school bank bulletproof windows installed.

Some bright spark changed that - got rid of the counters, and made the offices all open-office plan. You wait off to the side, and when it's your turn for whatever, someone comes and fetches you to their desk in the open-office plan with some space between desks. Instead of shouting your personal issues across a counter, you could discuss it in a normal tone, and if it was private, you could be quieter or more subtle about the topic. Aggressive incidents dropped off a cliff - and there was much less of an 'us-versus-the-gummint' mentality seeded by the demarcation line of a [fortified] counter.

So in this particular use-case, an open-office layout was clearly superior for employees, bosses, productivity, and clients.
That is exactly how I estimated it.

But when I think about it, it is the wrong way to estimate it. Because you've eliminated all of the most common causes of those numbers not being prime, so the density of primes in that set should be expected to be massively higher than normal.

If I thought about it, I could come up with a much better estimate. But it would take some thought.
DNS problems are at least partly affecting the microsoft.com homepage as well.
Angular UI Bootstrap is CSS agnostic - you can use it with Foundation just fine
I would like if I could set the limit (per-channel) on how many broadcasts I get. Publishers can try to send me as many broadcasts as they want, but if they go over my limit they're silenced until I choose to look at them explicitly.

I want broadcasters to (re)learn that breaking news is "Plane lands on Hudson river" not "dog bites man."
I recommend checking out CPUSage. They offer a very similar service that's language agnostic. They're pretty early on AFAIK, so they still have a few kinks to work out, but i've found it to be pretty solid.

Are you comparing the web gui to the command line, or Ansible to fabric? It feels like you're conflating two different things there.

I can't speak for the UI, but I use Ansible to deploy everything. It's been a joy and a lifesaver. I just used it to provision a new server (from zero to full Django stack) in 30 seconds. Fabric will accomplish the same things, but Ansible is much more elegant and terse (by a lot). I definitely, definitely recommend it.

For the UI, we use either ansible-pull or http://www.getinstabot.com, which is a chat room assistant I'm working on in my spare time. Being able to say "instabot deploy feature/discounts to staging2" and have the code running there in ten seconds is fantastic, and only possible thanks to Ansible.
Unfortunately, it won't work with Visual Studio Shell. The problem is that NTVS relies on the JavaScript language service that comes in the box in VS (for web projects and Win8 Store apps) for syntax highlighting and code completion, and that support is not present in Shell. That said, we're trying to come up with something here similar to the free PTVS package, so stay tuned!

Yeah, and Java apps are cross-platform if you use the JDK. It's cross-platform from an app developer's perspective because the runtime exists on multiple platforms. Pretty standard definition of "cross-platform."

I'm going to be brutally honest and let you know from your posts above you come across as a jerk and/or lacking social skills/awareness.

When you go against a social norm you have to set expectations early on. Ideally before you even go on a dinner date. None of the women I know have a problem going Dutch; all of them would be really offended if you took them to a fancy restaurant and then when the bill came you expected them to pay half. You have essentially tricked them.

Here is a hint: If you want to go Dutch then take a girl for coffee or on a picnic ("you bring the bread and dips, I'll bring the drinks and cheese" etc) at least until you get to know her better.

Perhaps to you $80 is nothing. In my early 20's it would have been 8 hours work. Why would I spend a days hard work to have dinner with you when I can have dinner with another guy, who has just as much chance of being a great guy, without the expense?
Your accountant is probably billing you for total time spent, not itemizing for specific tasks. Alternatively, you may have a fixed fee arrangement (check your contract!) in which case you are being invoiced $2500 regardless of the time actually spent.

Hi mackwic,

Disclaimer: original ansible author here and I run engineering for AnsibleWorks. First off, ansible itself (which this post is about) is text based. I assume you're talking about AWX, which is coming out shortly in 1.4 form, which is our commercial server -- UI and REST API. (Ansible core is decentralized and doesn't even need a server installation).

AWX is designed around team workflow and wants to be the central hub around your automation tasks. i.e. how do you control who can access what, who's doing what, and make things push button in the hands of people who might not be the ones writing the content. You can delegate the ability of lab staff to manage inventory, but not allow them to deploy software, or let them only deploy specific projects, etc. Same for Dev vs QA vs Ops teams, etc.

I definitely don't think it's something everybody needs, but it's available for those that find it useful, and definitely recommend everybody try it out. In the last release, we added some nice source control integration features so you can still develop in your editor and retain the ability to have the web console and central logging. In the upcoming release, we do some neat things with graphically syncing cloud inventory and provide some bonus console information that is useful if you are working with teams who want to know what's been going on where, and it improves the ability to quickly drill down and see what parts of your infrastructure might need attention.

One of the other features is it's ability to hold onto credentials, so you can share source control, machine access, and other credentials with your team without them needing to actually know those credentials.

If you remove someone from LDAP, they can cease to have access.

Anyway, it's super important that we don't hold ansible core back, so what's going into the product is largely around team workflow, and things that automate workflows in Ansible, just like how Ansible automates your system. It's intended to be able to hand Ansible to other people -- and work better in your overall team context, even people who don't want to be writing playbooks. If you're a 1 or 2 man shop, you might not need it, but try it out anyway and let us know what you think!

Also, here's a blog post about the 1.4 Ansible release, which explains the changelog at a bit higher level:

I am currently logged in to outlook, and can access microsoft.com, but Xbox.com is still down.
Definitely. I'd add, if "medical professionals" were telling you you were wrong from something you felt clearly, run away. You aren't incorrect or just "need to adapt". We are all not built the same and as an introvert I do fit the "only critics" mold but damn do open plans suck for me.

I'm in a large shared office of 4 desks. I have a single coworker that sits right next to me though him or I moving to the vacant lot doesn't really cross our minds. I am however consistently distracted as he's particularly fidgety, talks to himself (I do when I'm alone), and either chews really loudly or I've just grown to hate it. I have had no problems with him as a person but the effects of the constant disruption bring about a certain disdain towards others that distract him or myself. I can't divorce myself from it and my ears can't take a full day of headphones even if I severely enjoy the music I listen to.

I see open plans as facilitators in nothing but pain all around and where I am currently. We've always been in a open office cube farm of some nature but something about the move to a new place specifically designed to be this way was a bigger kick in the balls than I had anticipated. I can't think of any place that would prize distractions as a badge of honor either, at least not where developers are concerned. Yet that's exactly what we have now and that I've allowed some shitty process to make me this much of a shitty person is the real problem. Its like I can't ever correct it either so I just need to move on or it's going to continue to push me into atrophy.

Basically your last paragraph is key. Notice this early. If you can change policy for your sake, good. If you can't, run away. You don't deserve the inevitable downturn it'll have on your livelihood.
Team sized offices for the win. Team office doesn't have to have a door, but it should have small room with door very close for phone calls and longer (or involving more than two people) face to face chats. Short two person chats are initiated by one person getting of his ass, comming to the other persons computer and talking quietly.
It was never as good with the patent issues especially when Google were involved it never felt balanced (with SCO there really wasn't any need for balance or bias as SCO were so far out there you could report it straight and still have clear bad guys).

I hear you. Women in our society have gone mad with too much attention from offline and online worlds. Their entitlement grown at a geometric rate as their attractiveness grows linearly, which by the way can be optimized pretty easily with cheap makeup and high heels.

Java is only cross platform if you use the JDK, Flash is only cross platform if you use Adobe's plugin, etc. So I don't think this is a completely funny definition of cross platform.

>>It doesn’t strike me as a particular draw given that it’s at least possible, if still somewhat painful, to build truly cross-platform apps with offline capabilities.

If you can achieve a cross platform experience using something that's installed on most PC's, and if it offers features or simplicity that is not available in the truly cross-platform spec, then that seems like a strong draw.
"Trendwhore", seriously? Anyway, this article isn't talking about people aspiring to make major contributions to high-profile highly-complex projects, it's talking about people who want to contribute to projects in general, and saying that small less-technical contributions are great to start with.

And it's not that easy to find a project, especially not for inexperienced developers. You don't want to pick an unmaintained project - you need somebody around to help you when you get stuck, ideally at least a few people so that you don't burn them out on answering questions. Hopefully you manage to find a project that has reasonably friendly people, some way to talk to them, a language you're familiar with, relatively easy tasks to get started with, and is interesting to you in some way - not really a simple Github search.
jules, PTVS is actually available as a standalone PTVS+VS package. That's basically "Python Express" built using the VS Shells.

And what if your bug is after the nth iteration of the loop, where the exact value of n is unknown (it's a bug, after all)? How many times are you going to set the variable and run the loop n times? Whereas with print-debugging and a grep you can filter for only unexpected/unusual output, and so narrow down to the likely cause, faster. Generalizing, of course. There are definitely cases where a debugger can be more effective, as others in this thread have said. It depends on the case.

Chrome apps can also be compiled to cordova so chrome apps can run natively on iOS and Android too, no need for chrome. This was just announced at the chrome dev summit and a bit earlier at the cordova conf in Amsterdam.
There's a nice trick to enable this behavior for standard Python code run at the command line. Write the body of your code inside a main() function, then call it using the following toplevel block:

if __name__ == "__main__":
try:
main()
except KeyboardInterrupt: # allow ctrl-C
raise
except Exception as e:
import sys, traceback, pdb
print e
type, value, tb = sys.exc_info()
traceback.print_exc()
pdb.post_mortem(tb)

This will catch any exceptions and throw you into PDB in the context where the exception was raised. You probably don't want to leave it in production code, but it's super useful for development.
Interestingly, it's a dupe:

I'm aware of that, but there are styling differences between Foundation and Bootstrap.

The Angular-UI implementation, while self-contained, is going to have a different .modal() implementation than Foundation's, so there's always going to be relics in the implementation.

Implementing twice the framework for the same functionality seems a sure fire way to induce headaches.

Your advice isn't wrong, and worked great for a good number of months, but requires ignoring the JS components of Foundation altogether, which somewhat negates the benefits of having a big ol' framework in the first place (IMHO).

If illegally copying those things and being more iPhone like than other Android devices had any bearing on Samsung getting their current market position then it was a bargain even at a billion dollars. Apple and Samsung are both raking in billions every quarter; you have to consider the market size when considering the appropriate penalty.

Also note that both sides had many more patents that they thought applied but had to be selective and discard many early in the case. They got to choose the most promising ones but it is hit and miss. There may be many more patents that would actually have applied.
Aren't those bit uneffective in the speech frequency range? While wearing such thing angle grinder sounds bearable but I can still hear people talking.
