>>> I do think that renaming the core functions and then providing an alias/compatibility library would be beneficial however.

Totally agree with that. In the real world, one is normally using some sort of framework which hides most of the language quirks (inconsistent naming, order of parameters, etc). And the cases, when you need to use quirky native functions, are rear enough so that introducing additional layer where bugs might occur is not beneficial enough. So I'd focus more on picking the right framework (both philosophically and technically) rather than on focusing on a new language.

Why I mention frameworks that much? Because in the of majority cases, applications are just some CRUD with a bit of logic and going with flat php + some home made libraries is just waste of time.
This echoes the response I've received from them when trying to just cancel my account in general. I e-mailed them months ago asking to have my account cancelled. I was told:

> Please be advised that your account through Network Solutions will not be cancelled or deleted for historical purposes. However, if the system determines the inactivity of the account, your Network Solutions account will be deleted automatically.

Long story short, my account was never cancelled. I called them by phone yesterday to attempt to cancel again. The rep told me that he would have to "escalate" the issue to someone else, but then told me my account had been cancelled. However, I am still able to log into the account today so I'm guessing it hasn't been cancelled at all.
You can but you shouldn't, since there might be the chance of someone listening in. [0]

That is absolutely untrue. Talk to the big distributors, they will also be able to fix your incredibly unstable supply chain.
It's the same one referenced there, only non-obfuscated and commented. From the OP:

An obfuscated version of 8086tiny (condensed into just 4043 bytes of C code) was a winner of the 2013 IOCCC contest. Significant interest followed for a documented, commented, maintainable version. The result is the distribution presented here.
So reading between the lines the most experienced longest term dev has only 18 months experience. There's nothing wrong with any individual dev personally only having 18 months experience, obviously every dev with 19 or more months experience passed thru the same state. The disaster is solely at the company/mgmt level where you're now the senior technical lead.

One aspect of a company circling the drain, is you're better off finding another place on your own terms before it goes under, apparently soon. Once it crashes, if you're still there, you've gotta settle for anything just to pay the bills. Its hard to say how long you've got before they close, but assuming your last paycheck didn't bounce its longer than you'd have if you wait till the bitter end.

Getting stuck at a better run company that none the less is technologically a clone, complete with pure java etc is still going to be much better.

As a guy who had his 18 months in 1982, I'm just saying I've seen a lot of companies swirl around the drain and its not sounding good for the company regardless of all this "I have lost the java faith" or whatever.

Good luck w/ the future etc

I use the combo of OnePassword for password management + Leemail to have a unique email address for every service/website I use. Leemail also makes it easy to block any emails which gets leaked to spammers or companies that ignore unsubscribe requests. i.e. one unique email and one unique password for every service I use.

Sol 3540 is January 8th, so these aren't newer than the old photos. Nice color, though.
It helps to not conflate iTunes (an application) with the iTunes Store (a service). The latter can be accessed either from the former or from a handful of roughly equivalent apps on the device itself (an App Store app, an iTunes Store app for media, a Podcasts app...) There are very few things one cannot do without the former — which is good, because odds are that, when someone is talking about how bad iTunes is, they're criticizing the desktop application specifically.
Well, it's off the subject, but it's still an interesting question and I was wondering the same thing.
When they use a megaphone they don't know who the people are

Of course they do. Communists had been kicking people out of universities, withholding passports from protesters, and organizing mass internments back in the 80s and before.

They'd take pictures and ask around the opposition circles. Or arrest a few people and make them give up the rest. Not to mention willing, paid, or coerced informers planted in the invigilated organizations. And you can bet many people working for security forces in Ukraine today remember those times and techniques well.

There have been authoritarian regimes as far back as written history goes. We here like the tech angle, but let's not attach too much weight to it. It's a great story, I upvoted, but technology is not crucial.

It might be nice if people put down their dating apps for a little while and went out into the actual physical world to meet people by chance i.e. at line in a Starbucks, on a flight back home, or dare I say it: a bar - preferably during happy hour. Level of attraction in these real world situations is instantly assessed and doesn't take days or weeks of back & forth messaging before even meeting up.

Also, anecdotally I believe men far outnumber women on these sites so that clearly skews the ratio in women's favor which means by law of supply and demand women choose on these sites and not men in most cases. I've gone on dates with women I met online and many of them told me it was not uncommon for them to receive hundreds of messages a day and here we have a brilliant PhD student happy with 20. Just sayin
Giant rewrites don't have the best track record of success. Other than language aesthetics, what would be the justification for undertaking that enormous cost and risk? I despise PHP but I wouldn't make that call.
The only valid angle to your theory is that the government may very well not bother sending such a text - they'd just register the participants and arrest them later.

It's not the message that's the concern, it's knowing who to send the message to.

This is disgusting. I have had auto-complete on my mobile devices for years. Easily as far back as 2003.

Its baffling that this patent was awarded. Even more so that technology innovators are being so anti-competitive and stifling innovation.

Use very complex, unique passwords for everything. Generate these passwords with a tool like pwgen, the OS X keychain, etc. This contains a password leak to only the systems that share the same password.

Use a encrypted storage for your password, protected by a master password. This can be as simple as text files on encrypted volume, or a more complicate password manager.

When you can avoid using passwords, do so. For example, key based SSH auth prevents you from having to re-enter passwords all the time, and is generally more secure.

When given the option of 2-factor authentication, take it. 2FA + a weak password is usually better for security than a strong password without 2FA.

I use lastpass with yubikey.

Password to lastpass is long and completely unique - not used anywhere else.

lastpass generates and maintains passwords for all sites - they are all 16 characters long (long passwords are key for preventing bruteforce typically), unique, and they all contain numbers, upper and lower case characters, and symbols.

The thought process is - if one of the passwords is compromised (hacked site, brute force, etc.), the same password will not be usable on other sites. I had this happen in my WoW days.

Edit: I have the lastpass app trusted on my phone so I have access on the go.

Make something of value -> now sell it.

Why be more imaginative? It sounds a pretty simple offering to me, and is highly transparent.

A hosted variant isn't a bad idea (I was going to ask if there were recipes for EC2, Docker etc... some people might want to "self" host on a machine they control) but it's more "value added" than the original codebase.
I find this whole concept weird. If you are using icons to represent what services you are on as links to contact you, why do you need one for a service you aren't on? And if you are trying to make a point of not being on Facebook, wouldn't a nice big colorful icon make more sense?
Nice, but you've broken the back-button of my Chrome.

Ok, so I installed it and added some pictures into uploads/import. Lychee imported these and dropped them into a smart album called Unsorted. I then wanted to organize these into albums. The first thing I noticed was there was no way to select photos. You have to open them one by one and move them. This would be my feature request numero uno.

Second thing I noticed is there doesn't seem to be support for sub-albums. I guess this isn't necessarily a deal killer, but I had a system of organizing albums in YEAR/MM type albums. If there was a lot of photos or an event, that would be a sub-album within the month it took place. If a single event took place between months (New Year's Eve party) I just handled that on a case by case basis.

Why does the application that accesses your calendar not have the right to the credentials for those calendars. Does my email application all of a sudden no longer have the right to my email credentials.

The issue here is not that Sunrise asks for your iCloud credentials, which it needs to be able to access your iCloud data, which you as a user of their service have given them the right to. The problem is that those same credentials are tied to your iTunes account and your credit card.

I love faker! It pisses me off a bit that the library is named faker but the package is fake-factory. It trips me up all the time.

I use it with factory_boy (http://factoryboy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) to generate test fixtures that seem to make logical sense. Usernames are real names, birthdays are real dates, etc.

I think it helps with experimentation when you're using the REPL and also makes bugs stand out a bit more easily. Very neat for demoing purposes too.

Perhaps my favourite is faker.bs() which always gets a giggle when doing live demos.
Now that we finally have effects like shadows, gradients, and rounded corners in CSS, the trend is towards flat design. Some webpage layouts I made ten years ago look surprisingly modern again.

Microsoft owns all of Nokia's handset assets now, and has the brand license for a remarkably short time, as you point out. Nokia will continue to use their brand for their infrastructure business as well as maps and other online services.

Microsoft does own Nokia's distribution network, and even the factories that make Series 30 handsets, and all the other odd stuff. Another headache for the next Microsoft CEO.

My bet is that Nokia will get back in to the handset business, and possibly other consumer electronics, once their non-competition agreement expires. Nokia owns some of Jolla, and most of Jolla's employees are formerly Nokia people. I think Jolla already uses Nokia's maps and media ecosystems.

This is not helping Apple's image one bit. In recent months I have been meeting a lot of old-fans of Apple devices who are switching to other mobile manufacturers just so that they do not contribute to the closed litigious innovation killers that Apple has turned into.

Haven't seen as many people switch from Macbooks to Linux/Windows much yet, but have seen a blip in that direction too.
You should use KeePass, with automatically generated passwords and expiration dates. 60 characters is far too much, 16 is good with numbers, letters and special characters.

I don't use any american solutions due to Snowden's revelations. I don't want NSA on my passwords. Prefer an open source program.

If you want a cloud system, with keepass on your smartphone automatically updated, I think you should create your owncloud server.

Having auto-complete is not the issue. You have to look at the patent claims, which would describe a specific approach. In this case, it seems to involve Apple's specific approach to auto-complete when paired with a touch screen interface.
How many devices do you use 1Password on? I tend work on two macs, a windows PC, an Android phone, an iPhone and an iPad. Maybe that's a bit excessive but it's certainly common to have at least a few devices. I keep getting turned off by 1Password's licensing model which requires separate software purchases for each device. It's not the total cost that bothers me but rather that the model suggests to me that using 1Password across a lot of devices is going to be a hassle. I'm curious if that is your experience.
Because we want YOU to FEEL BAD for using such SHIT.
I don't think it's your choice what you hook underneath Xcode. I think it's Apple's choice. Since Xcode is non-free, you can't modify it to use something else will-nilly.

All of the fancy static analysis that Xcode does is completely tied to clang, for example. Its debugger front-end is tied to lldb's idiosyncratic interface. It's not something that you can just easily replace with non-Apple compilers.
I echo this entirely - nice work guys.

I'm working in the genomics space as well. We have an open source interface for filtering and examining variants for clinical diagnostics called Varify. We presented a poster at ASHG and are trying to get the open source code we have out on github documented and installable (https://github.com/cbmi/varify). My experience is that most of the analysis companies have the final variant display, filtration, and reporting as a gap in their capabilities and don't have the time or resources to devote to it 100%. Clinical diagnostics (where we are focused) has very different usage scenarios from discovery work, so it may not be a good fit depending on your focus.

Regardless, I'd love to hear about your experience with Docker and NGS pipeline work. Looked at your profile but there was no email. Shoot me a note if you want to chat (email is in my profile).

A nice rant from John C. Dvorak.

First though surely MS have to work out what a Windows PC is for in 2014 and beyond. (I accept their true response would be something like "make money on every PC sold like we always did").

Chromebooks have demonstrated a minimalist PC for our age. Now what value can Windows deliver on top of that?

I think that is difficult to answer from a consumer's point of view. There might be a business angle but (for me) it is still not clear.
I have to disagree. Ideals informed from religions cannot be proven (they could, actually, if the deities cooperated, but, while they don't, there can't be proof) but decisions informed by scientific knowledge can and that's a very important difference.
