The graphic industry is all about formats.

Adobe dominates the publishing and graphic design world(ironicaly because of piracy which didnt destroy Adobe but all the small vendors). So a tool that cant open or edit properly the last psd,ai format version... is almost worthless in a professional environment,

Lawns, as in well-manicured grassy areas, are not typically the only thing a lawn care company does. The ones in my area do full landscaping, possibly excavating, and they have someone with a landscape architecture background. In the Fall they do leaf removal, which is changing now to leaf shredding. In the Winter, they do snow removal.

We have a mix of elderly and families with young children in my neighborhood. Having affordable lawn care companies helps us tremendously.
Awwwww Java has streams too. Bless.
I agree you should try to do range reduction

But the question remains, that is, what is the cos(2^120) and what is the cos(2^120+x) where x is the smallest increment representable in float64. Or maybe a better question is how many times 2pi is in x.

All the security tech in the world can't stop people from writing their passwords on sticky notes and pasting them on their monitors. Or in this case, giving them to a coworker.

Well, actually two-factor can. I wonder why a two-factor auth was not required? That would have rendered Snowden's keylogger useless.
I up-voted the comment before I saw this response, as I always do when I see a valid opinion down-voted. Down-voting opposing viewpoints is annoying, but generally people like me will negate it, so there isn't much to be gained from complaining about it.

Quantum Mechanics: A graduate level course By Richard Fitzpatrick
A quote I once heard from a very bright hedge-fund guy: "My gardener drives a Mercedes SUV. There is no one I can't learn something from."
To be fair, the planet in Journey's End wasn't a full member but a colony world, which means they don't have the same rights as a full member. Plus, I think they just settled on that planet which would mean the planet isn't under Federation jurisdiction, just the citizenry (provided they're Fed citizens).

Additionally, the Cardies have either a similar or better military compared to the Federation, and the treaty helped prevent full out war (that later showed up, but in the form of the Dominion War). Giving up a few planets with small populations doesn't seem all that bad for stopping what could've been the largest war in the quadrant.

As for Insurrection, it's commonly accepted that Dougherty was working alone, without the support of the rest of Starfleet or the Federation. It's not implausible, considering he was an admiral and could very easily order ships places without much questioning.

The Son'a are nowhere near as advanced as the Cardassians, the Federation could easily take them if they tried to start something.

Namecheap is pretty great. The going rate for .io domains is about $80, and when I last checked they let you register them for something closer to $55.

> If the developers want to avoid transaction malleability, they will not be able to include the signature in the hash.

Would that be a problem? Since a transaction is already uniquely identified by the inputs, why not hash everything that's signed and use that as the identifier in (tx, index) pair?
I use namecheap, but I don't actually maintain any of the domains I own, I just have one for my name and I used to have a minecraft server set up with a domain, but it stopped being played.

You host most of your stuff on a public cloud which means you don't do a lot of what most sysadmins do. Do yourself a favor and embrace it. Learning new tech and (more importantly) being able to know from experience which is more fit for a specific task is part of the career field you've chosen.

I've professionally managed thousands of RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/Gentoo/Ubuntu/Debian servers in production (and that is just linux!) and not had any real issues learning the variations. Sure you learn different package managers, /etc/sysconfig vs /etc/default, different init scripts, but it is just semantics. That is why sysadmins get paid, to be experts that know the differences.

It is a good thing to know both, embrace the new tech.

The article goes so far as to mention the context "hasn't surfaced". Why on earth not? Is this because Facebook refuses to release the IM history?

Some individuals in the Linux community regularly criticize Canonical for "not playing along well with others" and taking Ubuntu in directions that go against "the community's wishes." I think those individuals are misguided. Canonical does try to collaborate with other projects and distributions. It's just that such collaboration is not the company's priority.

Canonical's priority, as best as I can judge, is to make Ubuntu the world's leading Linux distribution for desktops and other platforms -- cloud, tablet, phone, etc. So they will use whatever F/LOSS code works best to achieve this goal, regardless of whether it's internally or externally developed. They are not letting 'ego' and 'pride' get in the way of achieving their goal.

If using systemd will help them achieve their goal more than using upstart, they will use systemd. Ditto for Unity versus Gnome, and for Mir versus Wayland. For them, it's not about "winning the argument," but about "winning the #1 spot."

When I bought a .io domain through them they tossed in a free SSL certificate. Not sure if this promotion is still happening, but it helped persuade me to go with them.

Yup, they include a free SSL cert for 1 year on all domain purchases

Is certainly typical in the UK. Income is considered an intensely personal matter. You may as well walk into a party and proudly start telling people your genital measurements.

Here's an amusing video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E837tnxRVS0

"It's essentially a distillation of the problem we always have with american behaviour that's different from ours: Are they being admirably honest and upfront, cutting through the cant and failing to be hamstrung by old-world prejudices and preoccupations, or are they just being rude?"

The video is actually about asking other people their income, rather than stating your own. The point is basically the same.
This probably could have been a poll... but namecheap as well :P
It's interesting he doesn't mention that at least one significant factor against Upstart (from the perspective of Debian) was the Canonical Contributor License Agreement.

Personally, I think Scribus is more ready for professional use than Gimp. It's just that its workflow is very very different from InDesign, and it's a little less suited to artistic layouts. I can't imagine anyone who'd really want to use MS Publisher instead, though, even if ID is arguably better. Maybe Publisher has improved a lot since I last used it, though.

Also, I keep getting more and more impressed with Darktable.

I use Webfaction, but it's not for everyone (and I get no real traffic).

You get the pricing of shared hosting, but you get SSH access to install stuff in. Combined with the GUI for setting up common apps (Django, etc.), it's pretty nice.

Namecheap. Also just bought SSL certs from them and felt the the service was really good.
afaict we all feel the same way about this, we all feel that we should sit on our hands and wait for someone else to do the chores we don't wish to do. Of course, measurements of the "proggit popular" language implementations like PyPy and LuaJIT will attract attention and be the basis of yet another successful website (unlike more Fortran or Ada or Pascal or Lisp).

We currently have GPU compositing and rendering[1]. Other browsers will get this eventually and some have it already.

We plan to explore this space quite a bit.

The other thing we're starting to think about is using SIMD ops for layout, which isn't a GPU but falls into a similar "taking advantage of modern hardware" bucket.

[1] Note that 2D rendering on the GPU is not currently a clear win. In theory you save a texture upload and get massively parallel drawing operations, but in practice there's a lot of overhead to deal with.

It is a different way of doing business in the industry. For a typical lawn care company you:
1) Call to schedule a consultation
2) Person comes out, looks at your yard, gives you a list of options and schedules.
3)You select the options, the person performs the "giving of the quote" ceremony
4)You choose whether to accept the quote, possibly negotiating further.

It's labor intensive on both sides. Lawn care companies don't emphasize individual residential customers. They want commercial contracts. The ones servicing individuals are generally one man operations, new the the business, or just use them to fill in time between commercial contracts.

There are a lot of windows application bundling malacious chrome extensions, Firefox and IE plugins with the windows installer. They are installed automatically with explicit permissions from users. Moreover, if you remove the adware from chrome extension settings, it gets installed again automatically upon your next reboot.

I believe this policy shall reduce such abuse.

We are used to subconsciously "translating" what is actually meant from the exact words used, in part because so many people speak English as a second language (that they aren't particularly fluent in), in part because English is such an irregular language in places due to its historical development so even native speakers get a pile of things wrong, and in part because a lot of people particularly online deliberately get it wrong (building their own slang, references, and linguistic in-jokes that often eventually leak out into the wider awareness), and of course also in part because people who do know what is right sometimes make genuine mistakes.

The trick in any language is not to be perfect: it is about getting your message across and understanding other people's communication. If your English is good enough that I can understand your meaning without any great effort on my part, and you can understand what I'm trying to say, then your English is good enough (in fact possibly better, at least formally speaking, than some people native to the language!). Of course you should always strive to improve your skills, but try not to stress over it too much.
I'm a huge fan of WebFaction
1. I wrote service as in service provided on the web, not software. I'm sure online office (360, live, or whatever the name is this week) support has the ability to get to your documents though.

2. There's runas.

3. There's lots of examples of software that allows you to use the system remotely. Some of them have signatures in the virus databases, some don't.

Even 2-factor is susceptible to social engineering. Years ago when I worked IT for a company the protocol for providing a 24hr bypass to their RSA token was to ask generic questions that any 'friend' could likely answer. We'd use this if they were working from home and left their token at work or the other way around.
Yes, probably better to assemble the components yourself. It's much more expensive to get it done for you. I have no issues hand soldering 0805 or 0603 surface mount parts (for non-production), and an oven is equally as easy after a few tries. Even getting an SMT placement machine to do the work would be cheaper than dealing with BGA.
It's highly likely that will happen anytime soon.

Jürg Billeter created Vala for the sole purpose of building GTK / GNOME applications and the two projects are tightly coupled.

It's not to say that Rust won't have GTK bindings in the future, but it's not a high priority for either Mozilla or GNOME devs and unlikely to displace Vala.
heroku, pagodabox, dreamhost, s3, linode and digital ocean. Each host has their own pros and cons. (Dreamhost for example is slow but they manage everything.) I stay away from rackspace due to issues I've had with them but when they've worked they've worked well.

>When you sit at the dinner table and ask for the salt, you get it.

Actually, it's you who has a fundamental misunderstanding of communism, and yes, this probably shows the sad state of our education system. Communism is not cooperation. Sitting down to dinner with family, is not Communism. Working on a project with your friend is not Communism. Donating money, time or skills is not Communism. Communism is a particular way of allocating scare resources (which also implies a particular government structure). Capitalism is another. Communism has been shown in practice to be a devastating, corrupt and wasteful system. It doesn't work in theory either because it creates huge incentives to cheat and lie (because if you don't inflate your need, your neighbor will and he'll get more - after all you have to prove your need before you get yours). I have more, but I think I made my point.
I totally understand an "allegation", not sustained, not counting as a full "strike". Only 21 were sustained, and we don't know the seriousness of those allegations. It still seems late, but I'd like to know more before being confident about that.
Glad to see you're focused on improving, but you're being too hard on yourself. The design is good as is imho (not that there isn't room for improvement). And the idea itself is pretty genius, so I'd say you're ok even if you don't immediately achieve the level of polish you're shooting for.

Great idea and good luck!
Or, the potential market could grow along with the deluge of free music, no longer restricted to the credit card-holding western adult listener. This would have the potential to trigger increased popularity in radio and other media, benefiting both the artists and listeners. Pure speculation, of course.
> War-like cultures would still exist even if the Federation believes they themselves have moved beyond that type of thing.

An alternate take compatible with patio11's irreverent theory: war-like cultures exist only in the sense that some cultures have different LARP preferences.

Supporting evidence: how did the Klingon Empire (who are not actually part of the Federation) make it through their nuclear age without blowing up their planet? How do they continue to keep pace technologically with other species? They steal a lot of technology, e.g. they never invented the warp drive themselves, but that would only get them so far and wouldn't keep them competitive with the Federation.

Patio11's oddball theory of Star Trek as a documentary about a future LARP may not be correct, but it explains away these kinds of questions better than any "real" theory that I've seen!
Actually, now that I think about it, this announcement has rather serious implications for the current debate in Debian. Several members of the Technical Committee are proceeding under the assumption that the Upstart developers will continue to provide logind without systemd. If Ubuntu is moving to systemd, that work is a dead-end, and Debian is going to have to take over maintenance of that work if they want to use it to support multiple init systems.
For me, it's not about ego. It's about practicality.

There are hundreds of places where I see inefficiencies and know I could make it better. It happens every day. But I'm also humble enough to know that superior capability does not mean that I'm guaranteed to make money doing it.

Two examples come to mind for me personally. First, venture capital. What they do (picking companies to fund) I could do better, guaranteed. I wouldn't fund zeroes like Lucas Duplan. I'd fund people with actual capability, not fuckups. However, VC is a business with a lot of variance and a lot of corruption (connections really matter) so, as to whether I'd actually make money, who knows? Given enough time and money for the noise variables to even out, I'd beat the leading players, but the world can stay random longer than one can stay solvent.

Second in that vein, games. Game quality is something at which the main players are failing miserably. I have no doubt that if I ran those studios, the games would be higher in quality. Would that automatically ensure more money? Fuck if I know. I don't know all the details of the business. I know that I'm better at one kinda narrow thing (technical excellence) but that doesn't mean I would run a more profitable enterprise. Maybe they produce shitty games because, guess what, shitty games make a lot of money for minimal effort.

Competence is only a small part of the equation. (If it weren't, then VCs all over the Valley would be calling me up every damn day to run their companies.) Connections and political leverage and just plain luck are also huge factors.

So, what people like me tend to end up doing (and this may be a bad strategy, but that's another discussion) is to try to stay fairly general in business scope while diving deep on a technical specialty. At this point, I'd rather climb the ladder at a boring company (and gain general technical skills and, more importantly, the relationships and credibility to advance later on) than start a potentially world-changing game company, knowing that the skills and credentials that come from the former are more transferrable. You can say that resume culture is the devil, and that it's making us all mediocre in our ambitions, and you'll be right... but I don't have the power to change it.

The real issue is that no one insures the careers of the people who start "real world" businesses. If fixing, say, the moving industry had the landing pad that being Staff Engineer at a Twitter did, then more people would do it.
