Let me explain this for you then,

I have a Windows 8 Sony Vaio. If I disable Secure Boot and install Linux on a partition, the Bios doesn't work. Period. I've seen that a number of people got it to work for a while by modifying the grub loader and other hackery but then try updating Linux. Why? Buggy UEFI that is not "standards" compliant.

If I try to use UEFI with a Linux distro that supports UEFI, I get a message saying something like "Can't find Windows."

The linked article shows once again that Business Insider will print anything. The article begins by describing impostor syndrome, the idea that people sometimes believe they're not really what their title says, and then abruptly segues into real programmer syndrome, which suggests the opposite (that, contrary to all external indicators, some people are the real thing). By linking the two topics, the article tries to identify all programmers as one or the other, but without bothering to distinguish between them in any meaningful way. Then, to betray its trivial intent, the article begins to quote psychologists.
Also, a lot if not most of the technical innovations for cars start at the "supercar" end of the spectrum before becoming available to normal cars.
> Does that entire paragraph not just objectify the wife

Objectify is a really overused term that has lost all relevant meaning. How can saying that someone is better than you at something possibly objectify that person? Maybe I'm overly sensible as well, but it's really sad that this is where PC has led us.
That's really heavy...

That's not a strawman, that's a direct implication.
What we've done for dolphin-emu.org:

* In all cases, a fairly visible language picker is displayed at the top of the page, with internationalized language names.

* If someone goes to a language-specific subdomain (fr.dolphin-emu.org, cy.dolphin-emu.org, ast.dolphin-emu.org, ...), they get this version.

* If someone goes to the generic/english dolphin-emu.org, the system checks whether the user has a "nocr" cookie. If so, they get the english website. Otherwise, they get redirected based on their Accept-Language.

* If a user uses the language picker, we assume they know what they want and set the "nocr" cookie to disable redirections in the future.

* When the user gets redirected from the standard/english version to an internationalized version, a message is shown in english saying that they have been redirected based on their browser preferences, with a link to go back to the english version (and set the "nocr" cookie).

I thought for a pretty long time about this and think it is a good compromise between providing the best version for our users and not being annoying/guessing too much. In the end, more than 50% of our users now are shown internationalized versions of our website, which is a very good number in my opinion.
I upvoted because I found it interesting, not because I agree that it's AirBnB's fault nor because I think AirBnB's service is flawless.
Pet peeve: "about 200 €/m² including labour" is not supposed to be accurate to 4 significant figures - and even if it was, the EUR/USD exchange rate varies by more than that from day to day. "$25 / square foot" is much better if you treat it as a translation rather than mindlessly plugging numbers into a calculator.

(Maybe I'm just being a grumpy old man, but I deal with this sort of thing all the time in my day job and it winds me up something rotten).

Those last two sentences are great.
Fuck yes real life Robin Hood.
"The aforementioned wife began a pattern of passive aggressive behavior that included sitting close to Horvath, to, as she told TechCrunch, “make a point of intimidating” her."

Get a freaking life, go sit somewhere else if you see her sitting close to you. And are you a mind-reader? What if she wasn't being "passive aggressive" and just wanted to sit there! Unbelievable how as soon as a woman is involved in tech industry everything blows out of proportion.

Again no one is winning, when a woman "stands for her rights", because when you stand up for your rights that means you have to be standing up against someone, that is a male or a female. If you're standing up against a female well you're not helping the women cause. If it's a male you make the industry look even worse than it is by portraying men as monster bullies who will do and say anything to destroy a "woman". The argument against men can only win if we keep repeating the same fairytales that we keep hearing from the likes of her.

Geeks building an amazing platform like Github are different than the sexy attractive guys that you see on TV. Their passion lies with technology they are not here to gossip or put anyone down intentionally. We simply have better things to focus on than caring about your petty feelings. We're men building shit! Unless what women see men as changes drastically I don't see how men in positions like this would take women as seriously as other men. And by that I mean you can't think the guy must have a six-pack, not be nerdy, talk to you about your feelings when you're down. This is not reality but this is what women are brainwashed to expect from men in order to even truly respect them as human beings. This is mainly the effects of watching TV and other media, etc.

Change your perspective about your enemy (stop calling men your enemies) and see if there is still such huge gender imbalance in tech.
Yes, exponentially.

That study is garbage. It doesn't distinguish between processed and unprocessed meat. It is best filed in the circular container on the floor.
I figured someone would ask. I do a fair amount of pen testing in addition to development. Because I work with a lot of hardware solutions I need to run multiple instances of my tools. In a typical assessment I'll have a VM running a raw packet capture & another running an HTTP interception proxy. These will be "watching" the hardware device. I'll then replicate that same configuration to watch host browser traffic. Right there I'm at four monitors just to watch my instrumentation. I'm at a fifth for the web browser to interact with the environment & a sixth for taking notes. I typically like to have a chat going with other members of the team as well as e-mail so that's seven right there. Many time's I'll need to write rules for on the fly packet manipulation so now I'm at a solid eight. If I must also instrument the server side then I start compromising on having e-mail open.

For years I dealt with alt-tab between windows as well as using various windows managers so I could have multiple desktops but the problem was that I couldn't have eye's on what was going on in the instrumentation. This setup saves me a massive amount of time.

Here's a picture with two additional monitors mounted to the wall next to my desk which are connected to another system I use:

I never dual boot. It's a PITA with UEFI or not and has been since the dawn of time. It's Linux -or- Windows. UEFI is not a problem though - people need to stop badmouthing something they really don't understand.

I settled on using Windows as a host OS[1] and use Linux on VMs because to be fair, Windows power management, suspend/resume and hibernate and driver support is miles better i.e. it actually works more than once. Oh and they really don't fuck up the kernel every 2 minutes like on Ubuntu and don't throw out buggy shit like Apple do.

I used a 2011 MBP for the last 6 months or so however (with virtualbox) and I had to go back to an older and slower T400 as it was more reliable as well.

So virtualbox on windows 7 it is. And it works really well. I'm pretty happy and I'm a picky as they come when it comes to hardware and software.

On my desktop (a Dell T3500 with piles of RAM), it's 8.1 with Hyper-V with Linux in it as that works pretty damn well too.

Is suspect the problem here is users rather than hardware and vendors.

Rents may well go down, and many malls may live a second life as anything from indoor paintball arena ( http://www.specialopspaintball.com/forum/index.php?showtopic... ), megachurch ( http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/report-megachurch-in-... ) to a secure datacenter ( http://www.lifelinedatacenters.com/data-center/indianapolis%... ) , but will anyone build new malls? I mean carriage houses have been renovated into everything from B & Bs to pubs to studios, but the carriage house is still dead.

If no one is willing to spend the money to seriously build a new mall then the mall is dead. It will still be part of the landscape for a while, just as you can see the remains of failed fast food chains, nuclear weapon launch sites, and pre-bussing decentralized high schools, but that is just reuse.

Multi-stage interview processes like this are calibrated that you simply must pass every step of them to do the job. There's no fluff, there's no duplication; each module tests a specific component that the company feels is necessary. If you can't deliver on one component, then you aren't qualified. Harsh, but if you wanted to include an allowance for failing one module, you'd have to add even more modules and duplicate content in them so that you could still feel confident they could do the job. A false positive in the interview process is immensely painful for everyone involved and every effort should be made to prevent that.
Augmented reality won't tell me that two pairs of pants, from the same store, that say they are 30 inches long at the waist, are really 29 and 31. Different colors mean different suppliers and different results.

The technology that will tell us if some pants are a good fit or not is still nowhere near where it need to be.

Many other stores will die quickly though.

I'm not saying in this specific instance it wasn't inappropriate.

I'm saying as a general concept, the very phrase "unwanted advance" has lots of implications of sexual misconduct, when it really can just be as simple as a guy asking a girl out, and her saying no. I don't see what's inappropriate there.
I agree, and I'm definitely thinking of larger cities, in part.

I'm also thinking of smaller towns. People may drive there, park, then walk around and enjoy it -- and spend money. There are towns like this around New England, for example. They're destinations people want to visit or live in. If instead the town had a Wal-Mart, it wouldn't be the same economic benefit to the town. Who would visit for that?

Of course even better if there were rail service to the town. I'm not disagreeing with you, there. I'm just pointing out that this isn't only an urbanista issue. I think it matters as much, maybe even more so, for smaller cities and towns.
Depends - to a vastly greater degree than most cities - on the lifestyle you want to lead. It's possible for a fairly frugal person to live in London in a shared house on <£10k per annum, but on the other hand you'd need that £60k before tax for your family to feel anything like middle class.
That reddit post says:

>Do not be concerned, friends. These are not stolen crypto. I convert the paper fiat of the wealthy into crypto for your to spread. Please help those in need.

I read that as "I didn't steal cryptocurrency, I converted fiat." - so did they steal fiat, or is it legitimately gotten wealth?

To put this in perspective here is some napkin calculations on how much power dogecoin currently uses:

Assuming an average kh/watt of 2.333 [1] and the total network hashrate of 68 GH/s [2] we can see the network uses about 30 Megawatts of electricity. As a comparison Microsoft uses 250 Megawatts to power for their datacenters [3]. So it is wasteful, yes, but who's to say it's any worse than running datacenters so I can play battlefield 4 with my friends on xbox live which also provides no benefit for charity.

In Vancouver two malls (Oakridge and Brentwood) are being redeveloped, pivoting away from their car oriented, suburban roots and becoming the anchor of transit oriented complete communities. In 2010 Oakridge got a transit connection for the Olympics which has helped it stay relevant. Now the city is taking advantage of the connection to build a transit oriented community around the site, doing away with outside parking, adding several towers, planning for surrounding mid rises, and turning the roof of the mall into a park. Nearby Burnaby is doing this same with their mall, which has had a rapid transit connection since 2001.

Both the Ruby and the JS community are younger than, for example, the Python community.

I think that manifests itself in both positive and negative ways.
After confirming this with a quick google, I'm having trouble not "blaming the victim" here. It's sometimes the case with ridiculous things happening to people, that there's "more to the story", and that certainly seems to be the case here.

The poster willfully assumed additional risk on top of the standard AirBNB risk, and it's that additional risk that bit him.

Telling someone you've never met that they can bring 50 people(!?!) into your apartment, and just assuming that things won't get out of hand, is... naive.
I can't imagine what "experience" we all thought we were enjoying in these grayboxes for so many years.

Did you actually attend malls in their heyday? Today's mall is a sad shadow of their former selves, and as a result a poor way to judge how or why we enjoyed them in decades past.
Exactly right. Even Google, while not being a flat/bossless organisation, is an example of a company with a product that makes such gobsmacking amounts of money, that they have plenty of spare to throw at amazing luxury for their people, at "20%" time, etc.

Having a product that brings you so much money lets you spend enormous amounts on trying (and sometimes failing) at new things, whether it be R&D, new organisation types, etc. But it's important to remember that the vast, vast majority of companies are not in this situation, and, while profitable, are not so massively profitable that they can afford such things.
But that's exactly what the parent was saying - if you perceive the meaning of the words slightly differently based on the skin color of the speaker, it's textbook racism. Some people might call it positive racism/discrimination, but it's still racism.
Very different circumstances. For one, the SF poster a year ago had contacted AirBnB and was reporting on their complete lack of assistance. This article seems to be saying that AirBnB is supposed to do the impossible -- vet people more thoroughly than reviews from their previous stays.
This post miss completely the main purpose of projects like rvm and rbenv.
This again? I remember reading malls were over 15 years ago and yet all of the malls in my corner of Los Angeles are still open and thriving. All have been renovated at least once since the first batch of "malls are over" articles many years back. Some have converted a bit of their indoor space to outdoor (such as Del Amo in Torrance, which was one of the largest in the United States). Some have converted from outdoor then back to partially indoor when they realized that shoppers don't like being cold.

Yes, retailers face heated competition from the likes of Amazon, and yes I am not the typical mall demographic. But the malls I know—assuming they have a spectrum of trendy retailers—tend to be just as busy as ever when I have reason to visit. I hate the crowded parking lots as much as I ever did.

If they're stuck in the 1990s with Sbarro, Foot Locker, and JC Penney, yeah, they're probably suffering. But that's just not keeping current with consumer demand and isn't really an indictment of the model in general.
The flag doesn't work for the billion people of India. We are massively multilingual; we have 22 official languages. Google.co.in is offered in 9 of those 22 languages -- each one with its own unique script, which are mutually un-intelligible. One Indian flag for all languages? No, thanks. Look at the confusion caused by the Metropolitan Police website [1].

If you can afford two pop-up lists, the approach of Lufthansa is the best [2]. If you want just one list, follow the installation screen of Ubuntu -- they write out the name of the language in its own script.

A what? A "direct implication"? Those words are antonyms. You do understand the difference between "direct" and "implication", yes? An implication is by definition indirect.

It helps to focus on empathy in these situations. You may view their activities or two lesbians as making a 'show', but perhaps to them it is a personal matter which they would prefer to enjoy to themselves. Sometimes hula hooping is just embarrassing and it's usually awkward to have a bunch of members of the opposite sex staring at you while you do anything.

No, stress is driving journalists crazy, which is why we see articles like this so often -- articles with only the most superficial connection to reality. Articles that try to sound authoritative by quoting psychologists, a choice that can only produce the opposite effect.
I've even noticed that Stonestown, a parking-lot surrounded anachronism in SF, has remained quite busy, despite being close to neighborhood commercial corridors. They've moved towards offering more community events: movie nights, Chinese New Year celebrations, etc. They also added Trader Joe's a few years ago, which has been a major draw.

The entire place used to be an outdoor mall, but a skylight was added to keep out the notorious SF fog while retaining natural light.

The next logical step in its transformation would be moving more of the parking into structures or underground, and building apartments on the land. But that would require the blessing of neighbors and activists in the area, not an easy task.
If by Haskell's REPL you mean GHCi, I think it probably qualifies, but it lacks one of the nicer features of a REPL, which is that you can type the same code interactively that you can load from a file. In fact that's how SLIME works with Lisp, by literally copying forms from a Lisp file into the interactive session. If you copy/paste Haskell code out of your .hs files into GHCi you get errors, because the syntax is slightly different, which I find a bit confusing & inconvenient.
