AFAIK, Packages are available in Arch and the latest releases of Fedora may have Wayland packages available, but it's not (yet) the default window system for either distro. Fedora has been planning to ship Wayland in the main distro for some time, but it's not an easy task, and it keeps getting pushed out to "the next release". They want to do things right, and seem to be the biggest supporter of Wayland, so it may still be some time before a major distro starts using it as their primary GUI layer (aka windowing system, though I'm not so sure that's an accurate term for these things anymore)

In addition, GNOME is busily porting everything to work on Wayland. I think when that is finally done, we will begin to actually get Wayland-by-default on a few dists, and from there, well... that depends on how well it works!

I personally have nothing against either Wayland or Mir, I just want my system to work and if I can get better security, performance, features, etc out of it... score!
And a more cynical person would say this is EA's ironic way of showing how much they care about classic PC gaming in light of their sleazy ways on mobile and modern PC and console gaming.
I'm worried that merely functioning in society will become so complicated that the choice will effectively be made for you.
The validity of this approach depends entirely on your goals. If you just want to run a successful business, then by all means, mow lawns for a living. However, if you have passion for a particular market or technology, then you'll be bored mowing lawns, even if you make money at it.

c) Go and Rust are likely to both see widespread adoption
If every item in the grocery store had an RFID type tag your whole cart could be scanned instantly. Load the items right into bags as you shop and you're good to go, no check out required.

It would making performing inventory checks a lot easier too.

Clojure is a counter example for your argument. You very loose dynamic typing, but due to the immutability of the core data structures you achieve side effect free programming by default.
Remember, folks we do not know NSA's internal infrastructure..

Things we do know:
1 Hawaii is a listening post and Snowden was at a listening post yet did not have access to RAW data as systemadmin. This bodes well for claim on access abuse of RAW data only but not abuse on implementing the collection system for RAW data. In other words NSA can abuse through implementation without being audited..that includes Congress as it has been proven that NSA can lie to congress without being any move to punish NSA for such lies and also the lack of technical backgrounds or even military backgrounds of most congress people.

NSA is relying upon everyone forgetting that collection of raw data implementation is the number one place for auditing of abuses.
10 Principles for Hiring Hackers
Woah!

I've been sitting on a need for MSVC static analyzer for years. I looked at PVS-Studio (prompted by that exact Carmack's plug mentioned in the interview), but the multi-$K price was a non-starter. Static analysis has always been a secondary need in our case, a "nice to have" thing, which is now very easy to justify with $250 price tag. Thanks, guys!

(edit) Ha, it is $250 per year. Interesting. Aside from an initial gut rejection, this is actually not a big deal. 10 years worth of a license is still $2500.

>I find it much easier

Ok, but your anecodes + my anecdotes = still just anecdotes. To support the claim that it is easier to write fast code in ocaml, we need to find evidence.

>Writing the equivalent Haskell code is much more work

I have not experienced anything like that, despite having much more experience with ocaml than with haskell. You are imposing limitations on yourself when using haskell and then saying haskell is imposing them. Every ocaml function is in IO, it just doesn't provide type information to tell you that. So doing the same thing in haskell is doing it in IO, which requires no special effort at all. Even if you choose to add a purity restriction on yourself, adding "runST $" does not seem like a lot of work to me.

Sometimes that's the best perspective to have. And in this case, I believe it is. If left up to us engineers/hackers/nerds, we would continue to stubbornly work on or with one system or the other, prolonging the debate indefinitely. And hey, if enough people really feel strongly that Upstart is superior, it's FOSS! Fork and build a community! I know it's not easy but if enough people share your passion it can happen, and that's Yet Another Reason(tm) Open Source rocks.
That is a very reasonably response, and I certainly wouldn't push the idea that pair programming is great for everyone. It definitely works better for people with a particular personality type, and worse for people with other personality types. And I think it's a shame that the industry sometimes pushes things like pair programming as a panacea - like any "best" practice or agile catechism, it only works if it works for your developers. I just find a lot of resistance to pairing from people who have never even tried it, and I think that this is unfortunate, because it doesn't have to be as awful as it's often described here, reddit, etc.
Good one that video. I'm not sure if that's it in the Netherlands either.

When thinking about it; why do you tell or conversely, why do you ask? Why you tell without being asked, to me, is just a sign of you having a very small penis (it's usually guys). Asking it; are you really interested? Or are you comparing to yourself in some kind of oh i'm really not interested what you answer I make more anyway and really want to tell you that!? Or do you want to feel bad about your own income in some kind of sadomasochistic manner people seem to enjoy? Or do you want the other person to feel bad because you know he makes crap or is 'in between jobs'?

I'm trying to figure out what the upside is here; I don't mind telling what I make per se but I'm curious why anyone would want to know and when I think about it I cannot come up with any positive reasons. And so it never came up as a question from or to me and the only people I heard talking about it are guys I suspect were picked on a lot in high school. But maybe someone can enlighten me here? :)
Thanks for mentioning "yootling", as otherwise I would never have found (noticed?) his wife's guest article on the same subject [0]. It was a nice complementary article.

In that article, she mentions in passing the general case. From this, it seems like it would totally work with three people.

There are n participants, each with some share — i.e.,
some fraction — of a decision. Everyone submits a sealed bid,
the second highest of which is taken to be the Fair Market
Price (FMP). The high bidder wins, and buys out everyone else’s
shares, i.e., pays them the appropriate fraction of the FMP.

A caveat is, some things you wouldn't want someone to bid for -- putting the kids to bed -- but other than those kinds of things, I suspect that they would not mind in the slightest if a roommate wanted to subsidize their rent by doing dishes or laundry.

My biggest question is how to handle this when the household has a single source of income.

That's pretty cool. I've always been curious about how well served waste management has been with technology and innovation over the years. It doesn't seem like we'll ever stem the tide of consumerism and the relentless torrent of disposable crap we manufacture and throw away. Have we progressed beyond digging holes and filling them up or dumping it all in the ocean?

I've heard about incinerator technology in some Baltic country that uses liquid magnets to extract precious metals from the ash piles.

Makes me wonder if there's some way to reclaim other materials... though I don't have the chemistry/physics background to know if it's worth following through.

Still... garbage companies are important!
Yup, same here..

I've been playing with the idea of a 'karma economy': everyone starts with 1.0 karma. If someone uses a service or product you made, your karma increases by c * (user's karma), where c is some coefficient. Karma also decays over time, but never drops below 1.0. Creators of expensive (scarce) items could hold onto those items until someone with high karma wants one, thus maximizing their own karma gain.

I'm no an economist, so I have no idea if something like this would work, but it's a lot of fun to think about.

I think Microsoft is playing safe with F#.

They are trying to approach it from the point of view, how to bring such languages to the enterprise, their usual customers, without scaring them away.

The is most likely the reason why F# only gets promoted for library code and not full applications.

After all, besides F#, Microsoft still supports OCaml and Haskell research, as far as I know.

As I mentioned in another thread, the average enterprise developer is scared of such power. Even with language renaissance going over the JVM, I have seen lambdas being presented to Java developers as if it was a primary school lesson kind of. :(
Now I use it on all of my servers and on the MacBook Air as well.
There are a lot of things that you need to make sure will bring in the maximum effect into the whole system. Feel free to ask me more questions if you have any. :)
This is Screen Sharing. Not Remote Desktop. And it isn't hidden: if there's a Mac on your local network, and you navigate to it in finder, there's a "Share Screen" button right there.
I'd not realised that it was the person whose job it was to install the anti-leak system who leaked everything. I guess that's an obvious outcome..
+1. (Me too.)

I suspect De La Soul hit some sort of quota limit and Dropbox will either (a) hit them up for a bandwidth bill, or (b) decide to raise the limit as a goodwill/marketing gesture, later in the day.

It certainly needs a lot of change. The change it needs is not necessarily the change it gets.
> I predict a similar change will also come for Android. Because grandmas need protection of course.

I'm not sure what this means. This is the way it has always worked in Android.

In order to install apps from third-party sources, you have to enable developer mode. It's easy to do (just check a box in the right place), and is a reasonable precaution, IMO. Most of the malware that is available for Android comes from third-party sources.
Pedantic: he mixed up the I and O as well.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Voyager, I saw episodes here and there so maybe someone can explain this idea to me. I saw a few of the episodes where they described the rationing of replicator usage due to some shortage of something. I never understood this as the replicators are described as transforming a base material into near anything a person asks for which required energy to perform this task.

The ship was the source of the energy and canon suggests that as long as the systems were working properly there was an over-abundance of energy available for use. Granted it wouldn't be a good idea to ask for a cup of tea while the ship had full shields engaged with constant phasers firing during a battle. But during normal warp hops there shouldn't be a problem. If the power system was having problems then it stands to reason that going to warp wouldn't work as it required an immense amount of energy to accomplish. Which is the reason for the massive power system in the first place.

It couldn't be a shortage of base material because just about anything could be used and the ships took advantage of a massive recycling effort that almost everything discarded was transformed back into the base material that was stored on the ship. It would be easy to replace if need be so it had to be an energy shortage of some type.

I always felt the replicator rationing was just a writer's way to excuse Neelix suddenly becoming a cook on the ship for additional storylines. It didn't make sense to me. So, what was the rationale behind the replicator rationing? Did it even make sense?

To be fair, I had lots of problems with Voyager which is apparently why I never cared for it. I probably just couldn't get into the spirit of things to enjoy the show as envisioned.
didn't take long for someone to miss the point entirely.

Tech company buses are importing housing demand into the city. According to a recent study, about half the people riding buses would move closer to work if the buses didn't exist. That would be circa 10,000 people, a significant number in San Francisco's relatively illiquid housing market.

So you're wrong. Stopping the buses would make a substantial difference.

Cheating by definition leads to undeserved reward. Greed by definition leads to maximal reward.
Also Google removes apps from the chrome store they don't like. Like Youtube Center and Uneddit Reddit. And even if the amount of money it costs is small, it's still a relatively large tax for something that could be free.

In the States most of the interaction with that I witness police is negative: get pulled over for speeding, ticketed, etc. Even when they're doing sobriety checkpoints on St. Patrick's day, they're inconveniencing people who are responsible.

If the daily interactions between citizens and cops are like this it'll be very difficult to get people to change behavior.
