> LKML is a poor representation of email users.

Which is relevant how?

> If you're not arguing that, you're arguing that despite most email not being formatted to 78 character displays, email clients which can't parse most email are acceptable and not poor, which seems even more ridiculous.

First of all, I didn't make any claims about what most emails look like. Just because I don't believe what you claim, doesn't mean I believe the opposite. I don't know, and as far as I can tell, you don't either. And it's irrelevant anyhow, as people might just not be receiving a representative sample of the emails out there, so it would be idiotic to give up advantages of your own mailer because it would not be able to parse mails that you don't even receive.

Other than that, your thinking seems to be pretty one-dimensional. Email clients have more qualities than their ability to parse emails with lines longer than 78 characters (obviously, this is not really about them being unable to parse those lines, as in crashing or not displaying the mail at all, but about suboptimal handling), and some of those qualities might outweigh any disadvantage due to that. Also, it might just be that 78 character plain text mails are actually inherently superior to all the alternatives, in which case, even if the majority of emails today does not fit into that category, the sensible solution still would be to improve MUAs that send other formats rather than to make the older MUA support the inferior formats that are being widely used.

> The presence of specific mailing list client guidelines indicate that most email is not formatted to 78 character displays, a notion which you were challenging earlier.

Maybe you want to read the LKML's actual FAQ? Those "client guidelines" have very little to do with a 78 character limit, and all with how one can efficiently communicate using email, how some of the more well-known bugs in various MUAs hinder that, and how one can work around those problems. Some of that is specific to software development, but most of it really isn't at all. It just so happens that many newer MUAs tend to not support efficient work flows that have stood the test of time very well, and don't really offer any sensible alternatives either, and also tend to lack in interoperability with those (mostly older) MUAs that do support those well-working workflows.
I did the same, but went up to 75 before jumping ahead by a few. The final frame is 164 in case anyone's interested.
I think its a RC of CentOS 7 because of "POTENTIAL" word .
debian is also switching to systemd
That used to sound good to me, when I believed that Government Is The Source Of All Bad Things.

But then I grew up, got some life experience, and learned that there are even worse things than taxes and regulation.

I'm pretty sure I don't want my community ruled by a local chieftain with rampant gang and tribal warfare, organized crime syndicates, protection rackets and an official religion.

You can see it happening right now when a state loses its monopoly on violence.

Android Studio will soon feature NDK integration. You can reuse C/C++ code on Win/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS, achieving native performance everywhere, and then use the recommended GUI toolkit on each platform [i].

However, C/C++ is intimidating, which is why I think compile-to-C programming languages like Nimrod [ii] are going to be the next big thing.

As someone who uses the webclient everyday while the 5.5 version is MUCH improved, there is still a lot not to like. The organization is awkward and the response is terrible. As far as underpowering the server running vcenter if it this much of a drain it should be broken out to a separate server or optimized for responsiveness for the webclient. I want this to change I like being able to manage VMs from a browser. But there are some tasks that just need to be done from the C# client simply for the sake of time.
No more easy editing/understanding grub.conf

True, the grub2 config is horrible.

No more easy to understand /etc/init.d

It's a bit more complicated, but not too bad:

Instead of "/etc/init.d/thing restart" you type "systemctl restart thing"

Instead of chkconfig --list, you type "systemctl list-dependencies"

Writing the equivalent script with systemd is much cleaner with less hacks, particularly for launching as different users and doing locking.

No more text log files for system log (journalctl instead)

By default. It's fine once you get the hang of the new syntax:

journalctl --since=today --follow

Watch out for default XFS filesystem instead of EXT4 because it is slower in real world use for databases, etc.

Depends on the workload. Speed is only one part of it. For some benchmarks by phoronix see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_315...
the short answer is "no" not all "modern refactoring" tools are available in vs2014.

with the advent of roslyn and the compiler api i would be you'll be seeing more and more built into visual studio, or at the very least broken off into free community extensions as the 'guts' of writing these kinds of plugins will get much easier.

i still vastly prefer vs to eclipse just because of responsiveness alone; the core features are great, and i pay for resharper too because it's a great tool worth the money.

I've used xmarks for several years now and I like it. Sometimes it can be awkward when different browsers' conventions both sync in (like Firefox's "Unsorted Bookmarks" appears as a folder in any other browser), but otherwise it's been nice.

What if someone needs one of the newer packages provided by RHEL7?
Actually if we could all agree to go back to plain HTML, no CSS and especially no JavaScript and use solid client applications for client work; the web would be infinitely more secure. That isn't going to happen though, unfortunately.
It all depends on traffic.

And "a group of 100 IPs including a coffee shop near NSA employee John Smith's home" is enough.
I don't think it is accurate to suggest that this company is competing with SpaceX. It is accurate that SpaceX is trying to provide lower-cost launch capability and it is accurate that SpaceX is trying to make parts of its launch vehicles and spacecraft reusable.

With that said, the addressable markets for the two companies are vastly different. Firefly is targeting the <1000kg payload market, with the hypothetical initial launch vehicle targeting <400kg. The Falcon 9 is designed for an order of magnitude more payload, with upcoming vehicles targeting an even greater capability.

So, at this stage there may be a small amount of talent competition (at ~25 employees) and hypothetically it could provide competition for secondary payload capabilities in the future if things work out.

I've always thought of legends like Manuel Blum and the institutions he's advised such as Shafi Goldwasser, Micali, Adleman -- and even their students -- as people who transcend this notion of the PhD as a mantle piece for their résumé. You can tell by the relevance and pointedness of their papers. These people are plugged in. They're solving really interesting problems in really elegant ways. You can tell a lot of love goes into their work.

It's not their job to market the field to people unlike themselves. I see inspiration in Dr. Blum's writing for people who truly want to philosophize like he does. It's your job to love thinking and working on the problems as much as them, and be good like them. When your contribution is cited and useful to others these notions of being "exploited" by "the system" must be secondary. If one feels that way one can go the Larry & Sergey route and change the world that way too.

I don't think there is a finally for any of the names I mentioned here when it comes to computer science.
> America: Watch out how far you take the bullying

America has enough power and influence to shut down any possible discontent - both within the country and of their minion states in Europe. It's been ruling over EU for many decades now and knows well how to handle "unpopular opinions".
"The Serbian Crown closed its doors after nearly 40 years in the same location."
Oh sure... blame it on Google Maps telling people you aren't open on Sat, Sun, Mon. I guess your regulars, who you've built up over 40 years, don't know when you're open unless they look at Google maps. Even the owner himself says "If you’re going there, it’s because you’ve planned to go there."
I imagine his problem could be more accurately blamed on the decor (it looks hideous on the outside and that doesn't bode well for the inside) and the low quality of food being served (unless there are lion,kangaroo and bear farms in Virginia than that meat has probably been frozen).

With that being said, Google maps is far from perfect. They really should have a way for business owners that they list to be able to update their store information, especially for small businesses. How hard would it be to implement a callback system that allowed an owner to make simple updates to hours of business or to delete false/inaccurate listings? I guess they're too busy trying to find places in their code base to replace 'if' statements with bayesian filtering.
It's been a while since I used the vCloud web client, but if it's the same as the vSphere one I can appreciate the pain anyone else using it goes through. Trying to have the "right" version of IE/Java was a right mess.
You don't like systemd but it's probably time to accept the fact that it has "won". Most major distros including Debian is switching to it so it will get harder and harder to avoid. Might as well make the effort to learn it now.
If it not "hurt" anybody, where is than the problem that they spy the US-Citizens too?

I think it's a bit weird to be honest. Are other Swedes doing this, trying to shoehorn "hen" into other languages?

I've seen "they", in the singular, used as a gender-neutral English pronoun pretty extensively, perhaps that's worth looking into. Either way, kudos.
But it's a restaurant so you know they like to not list the phone number, hours, or menu (sarcasm).

Of course, that doesn't mean this article is correct.. since it doesn't show how old the pitchers were. It's entirely possible there is no age discrimination, if older people just dont apply (perhaps it's a raw deal.. or perhaps they don't need the money, since they have resources of their own.).

> As long as the DOJ are allowed to essentially lie to the public like this, why shouldn't it be fair to factor it in when trying to get an idea of how Swartz felt?

It should be a factor, for sure, but it should be a very small one. Swartz had much more information than the "35-year" number thrown out by the government. He had the benefit of his lawyers' advice, who thought that he could very well avoid any custody at all, and of the plea deal in which he would only have served a few months.

Also bear in mind that DOJ was not actually lying: a 35-year sentence was theoretically possible under the law. A judge could have imposed it. It was just extremely extremely unlikely.

I agree that what Swartz did should not be a federal crime (though it's easy to come up with similar conduct that should be). But there is a huge difference between a crime that will likely have been punished by 35 years' imprisonment (as many would have us believe) -- it's not easy to get up to that number even with a crime of violence -- and one punishable by a few months' imprisonment, or none at all.

I learned Bayesianism in a discrete probability and combinatorics class in undergrad, then took frequentist statistics in grad-school. The big problem is not that frequentism is somehow "just wrong", but that many people combine frequentist hypothesis testing with Popperian falsificationism (see rant above) to shoehorn frequentism into doing inference about hypotheses, which is profoundly wrong and not at all what frequentism is about, mathematically. The explanations for how frequentist inferences get used to do science feel wrong because they are: scientific induction is Bayesian. Of course, given mountains of data, either approach will work and converge to more-or-less identical results, but that's true of almost anything in statistics.

Another thing is that I really wish the frequentist lectures would just up and admit that yes, likelihoods really are conditional probabilities: they're just conditional probabilities in the Bayesian mode. A likelihood (as used in frequentist statistics) is just the probability of the evidence conditioned on a certain parameter value. Even frequentists ought to admit that it talks about a counterfactual limit of the frequency ratio, but apparently calculations on counterfactuals are "too Bayesian" for them, so they pretend that "likelihoods aren't really probabilities". That confused the hell out of me in class.
> as I haven't tried it yet

Maybe it would be prudent to try it first, before commenting..
wondering why your comment is down-voted. The reaction of German politicians (CDU and SPD) underlines your point: Since the Snowden leaks they keep quite and hope it passes, because they know they cannot do anything against it (they are in the same boat) ... If Germany were a partner to US, it would make a fuzz about it.

Another hint about the sovereignty: there are still army bases on German ground, from which drones are controlled and people are killed ...
I don't know if this is a feasible step for you considering you have a family to support, but you can do what I did. I was starting age 24 when I dropped programming for over a year, and studied master's in counseling psychology plus sociology (2 degrees). 14 months later, today, I turned into an extrovert :) not permanently though. I can now turn into introvert/extrovert according to the situation and need. I am more adaptable and more sure of myself.

Programming jobs and the people it brings can be isolating at times, and if you are trying to improve your social skills, it is not a very effective environment, generally.

I turned not because of the degrees,but the people I met there in those programs. When you spent 3/5 hours a day discussing/debating/fighting/having-fun with another groups of human beings, you just change. I was not too isolated before I worked in programming to begin with though in my case; it was working in programming that slowly made me too isolated.

Being a total geek has its perks, but the rest of the people don't care about hackernews ;) Start from there.
You can't even rely on a business' website anymore, though. You have to actually call them on the phone and talk to a real person there, at the business. Too often even the business owner doesn't have time to update their website or get the "web guy" (read: his brother in law's son) to update the website in a timely manner.
A question for the intersection of Python and Clojure people, is a generator kinda like a lazy sequence from Clojure? Or is that wrong or is there more to it?

Yes, I'm well aware looking at the dates that python generators came a bit before clojure lazy sequences BUT I personally learned Clojure lazy sequences first.

What I'm getting at that's relevant is the OP article author needs to tune up his analogy engine. The older I get the more "I've seen this before and know exactly what to do". As long as I can draw (hopefully correct) analogies, I can learn something very quickly.

I don't know any Python at all, and 2 or 3 minutes of google searching implies a python generator is like a clojure lazy seq, so if I'm on the right track, I'm doing well.
Not sure what your use case is, but why not build your own tools? As a previous user of OpenStack, the UI was not terrible but as an administrator I found it useless except very simple things. I wrote scripts for tasks regularly carried out.

I haven't had experience with vSphere's UI, but if it's anywhere as terrible as the vCloud Director UI, why not write some stuff to make your life easier. VMware recently open sourced some vSphere python bindings: https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi
I don't believe that's true, that a judge could impose 35 year, because the number 35 depends on the charges being sentenced individually and consecutively, which isn't allowed under the sentencing rules for that offense. I believe --- but am open to evidence otherwise --- that it is literally impossible for Swartz to have been sentenced to 35 years and have that sentence upheld.
Embed the page as iframe and scrub the referrer on every page a viewer visits.

Perhaps, but I've never seen one. Though I suppose getting an extended warranty from the manufacturer is in the same vein. And dealers work more naturally with the manufacturer so there's usually less headache.

Most of our stuff is on JVMs apart from SVN/DAV/apache/LDAP and that's a 40 min job to get packages ready for from srpms from scratch. We just have our own repo and import stuff that isn't in the distro repo ourselves.

Jamun is an open source (Apache Software License 2.0) Server and Frontend Framework for the Web Designer (and also Java Programmer),HTML5, and Javascript developer, to quickly create CRUD Apps for Database, Cloud, Mobile, and Web Services.
Confused by MVC, REST, SQL, noSQL, and other programming jargon? The Problem with too many frameworks - they all try to do (promise) too much. Thus creating too many unnecessary complexities. Jamun was designed for the rest of us.
Jamun abstracts all of the above so you can really concentrate on what you do best - CREATE cool Cloud-ready apps.
Create backend without any code.
Jamun makes the server as dumb as possible (from a frontend perspective) - by putting most presentation logic on client, without compromising integrity and security on the backend server.
Jamun minimize unnecessary back-and-forth traffic between server and client.
With the advent of client based apps like HTML5, many security issues have arose, e.g. client spoofing. Jamun allays those concerns without any programming via field level security.
Some of the highlights of the features of Jamun:
Zero or no server code.
Server-side JavaScript and Java.
Clear separation of concerns between client and server - that is the server is 100% Web Services API and therefore there is no exclusive View binding. One can use the same backend resource for multiple frontends or apps. The server is client agnostic.
Abstraction to the underlying frontend. This means less client side code changes in the event of a frontend change.
Scalable - Event-driven - Non-blocking architecture.
Single-page client model.
Easy App Deploy and Update with App Manager GUI.
Designed from the ground-up for Cloud environments.
Coding is fun once again!

While, I completely agree with the fact that the Government is trying to deal with financing terrorists and anti social elements, I think what will now happen is services like xoom.com is going to bloom. It would just shift the transactions from one place to the other. Also, someone can always use a US debit card to withdraw money in local currency from Mexico, no?
XFS is a dealbreaker for me. Nothing but bad experiences with that particular FS, especially when the filecount goes up.
With third-party cookies turned off, youtube.com definitely shouldn't be able to show your logged-in state from a google.com server. They generally play some fancy footwork with redirects to deliberately break third-party cookie origin parties so that they can achieve "single sign-in". I, personally, would prefer it if this were not possible, but it seems unlikely that Google would find this a desirable outcome.

Personally, I isolate my logged-in Google services in their own separate browser. I was hoping to find (or write) a browser plugin which opens URLs in different browsers based on regex of some sort (i.e. *.google.com, gmail.com, youtube.com links open in Chrome, everything else in Firefox), but I believe this is difficult to achieve because of the way browser sandboxing works (at least in Chrome).
I'll wait for more benchmarks to be certain but this database test of the 3.10 kernel (which 7 uses) of XFS vs EXT4 is not promising:
