This is pretty easily avoided if you just buy an adapter known to work on Linux with only free software. The driver for this is included in the kernel.

Currently, I use On The Job, which works really well at invoicing and time tracking. What I do is I PDF the invoice and email it to clients, and have them pay me via Square Cash. As long as I don't do more than 2500$ of work for any particular client in a given week, they can easily use that.

It costs them nothing and it costs me nothing to do this, and there is no percentages taken. Also, we both understand when payment is due, and normally the client pays on the due date. If they don't pay on the due date no amount of pretty software is going to make them more likely to, for obvious reasons. How do you plan to get me to give away 3.9% of my income to use a more integrated service?

I wouldn't say it's absurd, as it's legitimately very useful (though onerous) to be able to statically determine the amount of memory that will be used by a program. To this end, it is indeed true that tail-call elimination can remove the need for dynamically-allocated stack frames in the face of recursion. However, AFAIK, it is undecidable (given a Turing-complete language) to determine if a program contains only TCE-compatible recursion. In the face of that, you would have to forbid recursion entirely via a mechanism like the "declaration must precede use" rule mentioned in the article.
Disclaimer: I'm part of the AppScale team, so somewhat partial to this topic :) Thanks for the kind words on AppScale: I'm very proud to be the last resort after google.

You mentioned App Engine's flaws. I understood price, and the sandbox restrictions, but you seem to imply the API is lacking also. Could you elaborate a bit more on it? What do you think is missing or lacking? What would you like to have that's not there?

The API is actually Open Source, Apache 2.0 to be precise, that's how AppScale could get started implementing the App Engine model. So why do you think it's a vendor lock-in?

+1. Understanding the front-end development workflow is a big plus. Also, familiarize yourself with the limitations of different browsers/platforms, file types (fonts, images, video, etc...), interaction patterns (by device), and grid systems. I'd go as far to say that your development skills should be solid enough (HTML, CSS and JS) to enable you to build a style guide like Google's Material Design. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely check it out... http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introducti...
Acting like a team player doesn't get shit done. That's not how human relations in free software development work. The improvements of OpenSSL that the LibreSSL team envisioned required such massive code overhauls and deletion of legacy functionality, plus certain modules for FIPS support that were detrimental to security, that there was likely no way to do it all upstream.
I was surprised to see that the project was sponsored by Google.

I've made this argument before, using JS exclusively for styling does not let you avoid CSS. It lets you avoid certain aspects of CSS that may, or may not, be helpful.
I disagree. Even though Rap Genius has showcased plenty of what I like to call "douchey" behavior, in the end of the day they still make an awesome app that I and many others essentially need.

One of a handful reasons I don't have Linux on my laptop anymore, even though I like so many things about Linux so much more. I'm not sure about this point, though:

> Connection time. I dislike OS X pretty deeply and think that many of its technical merits are way overblown, but it's got one thing going for it; it connects to an AP fast.

I remember Linux being slow (and unreliable) at this, but OSX is pretty slow too, at least on my MBP. The OS that I've always had the best experience just with connecting to APs is actually Windows.
rtfm. Linux provides the architecture, the vendors ignore it and do it themselves.

The Intel drivers require blobs. Broadcom used to require blobs that you had to cut out of Windows drivers yourself, though I have no idea what that's like now.

The vendors use the excuse that this stuff requires FCC certification, and if they expose the low-level stuff some hax0rs will turn the wi-fi portion of the spectrum into CB radio circa 1979.

The OpenBSD guys used to recommend Atheros, because the specs were open. I have no idea what the current wisdom is. I run Thinkpads, which are BIOS-locked to only Lenovo provided cards, so I've been in iwl-land for a long time.
My regular laptop with Win7 gave up the other day and I have been attempting to rebuild an old laptop with Linux as a temporary solution. I bought a cheap usb wifi dongle ... and lo and behold, support nightmare ensued.

Eventually, I realized that I didn't make a right choice in buying that tiny dongle. So now I am on phase two of rebuilding old laptop with Linux, with a different brand of usb wifi (double the price of the first cheap one).

I am not a Windows fan anymore, but everything in Windows world just works out of the box. And what's with Linux on daily basis looking to install upgrade for its OS?
You are conflating the CA system traditionally used on the Web with SSL itself. Apple does not depend on other certificate authorities to sign its software. Anybody can create their own root CA — it just won't be trusted by browsers out of the box.
It's interesting, I used to think the same way. (well, I still do to some extent) But after getting acclimated to using VIM bindings for coding, learning keyboard shortcuts for common things, etc., when trying out the new version the controls were surprisingly comfortable. Now granted, they still aren't really good controls by any stretch of the imagination. But I found it to be an interesting experience that as I've gotten better at coding/using the keyboard for coding, purely using the keyboard to control such a complex game as DF has become a bit less of a barrier. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience?

T-Mobile has a $30/month pre-paid plan with 100 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data (unsure about tethering). I really wanted to like the plan and tested it out in my area with a Nexus 4 I picked up for playing around with an Android phone (only had iPhones the past few years, so wanted it for both development and to see if it was practical for me to switch). Unfortunately the coverage sucked once I left the area since they didn't offer data roaming. Great along the interstate, terrible in the country (I often take the scenic routes when traveling long distances if I'm not in a rush, I hate driving on the interstate.). If I lived in an area with really good T-mobile coverage and primarily traveled to those sorts of areas it'd be an awesome plan, and similar in cost to what you're talking about.
It's the price of a beer, come on! As developers in this community we must understand how much hard work goes into these things and we should not cheapen the work of fellow devs making innovative projects.

They would say "Literally no people want to check in." Because that's what "literally" means. (Literally!)

But since my use of hyperbole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole) clearly touched some deep vein with you, how about this:

"An insignificant number of people, too small to provide a VC-backed startup with even a minimally acceptable exit, want to check in anymore."

Cloudbit
I can confirm it can be abused really easily. Back in middle school (2006? 2007 maybe?) me and my friends used a firefox macro addon and a free anonymous text website to send a few hundred vulgar texts to a girl that one of us had recently broken up with.

The next day at school one of us got called into the office. The girl's parents had hired a private investigator to find out who sent the texts. My friend denied everything and there was no real evidence so no one got caught (turns out these types of shenanigans are NOT okay, and illegal).

We had racked up her phone bill into over-usage rates and I'm not sure if the carrier dropped the charges we had produced or whether her parents had to pay. I can't imagine that night's incoming text cost being below $200.

But now I believe most teenage girls in the US have unlimited texting.
Recent papers mention STEPS but it seems a done experiment.
> again, this requires physical access

The only physical access that is required is for the user to pair with a/some pc -- which then said pc can be used as a vehicle for attack...

Other users in this thread have mentioned airport USB chargers wanting to pair with their iDevice, etc.

That's not very far-fetched really...
If they are reporting a bug in the app one way to prevent this is a help/about that has an e-mail address (or some other contact type--but e-mail is best) and also in your description note that they can e-mail you directly for any changes/suggestions/help -- this generally prevents 1's for bugs-- and you can deal with the "disgruntled" 1'r and calm them down and give them a fix.
We were initially funded by Google with a grant to start the project back in 2009 at UC Santa Barbara. Follow on funding came from IBM research, and then larger grants from the NSF and NIH. In 2012 the project spun out of the university and was commercialized. AppScale Systems is now a Cloud Technology Partner with Google.
The funny thing is, Dwarf Fortress is simulated in 3D. With the 3D viewer, you can even look at your terrain in 3D:

If DF would look like that during gameplay, I'd immediately start playing.
Yeah, NM rarely works correctly

"Ah why don't you open a bug", because people are not interested in making it work (like a lot of "modern" Linux stuff)

If it works manually (dhcp, wpa_supplicant, etc), I don't see what's the problem. Or better, I see: NM doesn't work.

Yeah, unfortunately you're right about WiFi chips. It's about making the bare minimum hardware and shoving everything onto the drivers.

6 Things I Learned From Not Drinking For 1 Year
Same here, I like the interface and enjoy being able to easily see all my balances and don't need 2FA as this is view-only but I like to enable 2FA whenever possible.
Under the hood Android just uses wpa_supplicant for connecting to WAPs.
Device manufacturers write drivers for Windows. They don't write drivers for Linux. So it's probably (mostly) the fault of the manufacturer.

Another thing is that Windows has an abstraction layer called NDIS which network drivers communicate to. This abstraction is complete enough that if you have a compatibility layer for NDIS, you can usually use Windows drivers directly on Linux. The project is called ndiswrapper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper Edit: to be specific, maybe it would be helpful if Linux had a similar abstraction for drivers to use?

As for the updates, that depends 100% on your distro and your own settings. If you're on Ubuntu, you can just uninstall the update-notifier, and/or edit /etc/apt/50unattended-upgrades to install updates without notifying you all the time.
On the contrary, I came from Haskell-land and was impressed by Typed Clojure, at least in that it is capable of representing some things that are not easily represented in Haskell types. For example, union and intersection types can be pretty powerful. They can have easy variadic functions, and the occurrence typing is sweet -- after a runtime null check, it will remove the `Nil` type from a type union within the if-branch, or a runtime collection-empty check will modify the type in the subsequent branch to no longer include a case for a possibly-empty sequence.

On the other hand, Typed Clojure does not offer nearly the cohesive experience one gets from Haskell, nor do the types guide optimizations etc. Type checking is really a lint step rather than a build step. And almost all existing Clojure code is still dynamically typed, so you can't usually infer how to use a lib based on its type signatures (since it doesn't have them), which I love being able to do in hs.
Ah yes, the "spray and pray" approach to business.

Which would then force anybody else who wants to be in the launch biz to develop their own version of the technology. Sounds like a win for humanity.
I haven't been able to find any information that Zack Jud (the "original scientist") actually performed the same experiment that Lauren Arrington did. If such information exists, I'd be very happy to change my mind. Until then, here's what it looks like:

- Jud did some good science and discovered some fish where they shouldn't be (in fresher water than had been previously thought possible)

- He published his work, and one of the co-authors is associated with Arrington, the kid scientist at the centre of this. (a co-author is a friend of Lauren's dad)

- Lauren (some years later) did a series of experiments where she kept the fish in tanks and gradually exposed them to fresher and fresher water, and the fish did not die.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Jud discovered fish living in fresher water than previously thought possible, but did not perform controlled experiments in tanks. While his results are similar to those that Lauren is becoming famous for, they are not the same.

I agree that his work was probably crucial to the formation of Lauren's experiments (and that the core of the result--that the fish can live in fresher water than thought possible before Jud's work--is not original), but can't help think that there's an inappropriate conflation going on here, if not more than one.

That wasn't my intent. My intent was to point out that they started off as a back catalog. Sure, they did the heavy lifting of updating the games to run under XP/Vista, but they still didn't offer contemporary games until a few years into their existence. Even now, that's a major reason people go to them: to find old games that aren't available from other (legal) sources with mods already in place to make them playable (plus, it avoids the risk of malware from your pirated copy of Fallout 2).
Sorry about that, guys. We're looking into it right now.
In the UK if it starts with 07 it is to a mobile and if it starts with 01-03 it is to a landline. How very complicated!

Plus doesn't the US have hidden rates too? If I call someone on a landline and they're in the same city I pay less than if I call someone two cities over even though the two MIGHT have the same exact area code ("long distance").

> Cellular was easily rolled out without disruption. An existing number could switch to cellular and no one else would have to know or care. If you were a business (eg a plumber) you didn't have to worry about people calling you fretting over getting charged more for the call than your competitors.

> Numbers are easily portable. You can switch any number to use cellular. Countries using the other scheme can have portability but usually it is limited to cellular area codes only.

That's a non-issue. Call forwarding exists outside the US too(!). You can buy generic numbers, or a landline that forwards to your cellphone (or rings at both).

But ultimately your entire argument is defeated by one fact: In the US when a telemarketer calls you YOU pay for the pleasure. You're literally paying for people to spam or hassle you.

Those are all payment methods we plan to support in the future. Bank Transfer and Check don't have the same kind of processing costs, so that will allow us to do the payments for something more like 1% instead of 3.9%. We also hope to make the process of setting up and verifying those accounts less of a pain.

There is a lot more for-hire business out there than can be anticipated by the taxi industry.

The regulation spoken of regarding the taxi industry is typically the medallion allowing hailed fares. There are typically other regulations which may apply, such as a commercial driver's license and commercial insurance. The latter two would be seen for bus, limo, truck and courier services. It is that group where Uber should fall, if anything, not taxi regulation which also includes regulation limiting the number.

I was also very confused, and the first google search for Orchard was the one you came across. My first thought was, "this is an .Net CMS, I thought docker was unix-based?"

Then I was like, Okay, let's go see what "Fig" is. None of the links on the first search page were for Fig. I got everything from food websites, stock codes, to random content-spam URLs with Fig in it.

I'm sorry, but these guys really picked bad names for their products. It's really ridiculous because those names have well-established meanings. Sure, if they get famous enough, their rankings will make their alternate-meaning of those words bubble up. But until then, they're invisible to most of the web.

Heck, the linked article doesn't even have a link to Orchard, but rather to a blog post on their domain. If anyone really struggles, here are their links:

http://www.fig.sh/
https://www.orchardup.com/

*Edit: Searching for "Fig Software" led me to software companies with "Fig" in it, and some Facebook pages. Again, not the actual Fig I was looking for.
> You don't need a product/app to live a healthy lifestyle

You don't if you live within constraints which are healthy. Many people do not, because of their job, or because of the way their physical environment is set up - for instance, you may stand in a shop for 8 hours a day, and develop problems with your legs. The sensible thing to do is not to stand for 8 hours a day, but the reason why you may have done that before is because that is the expected, default behaviour. To change that so you are moving around enough not to cause damage requires deliberate and ongoing intervention, and something that tracks movement can certainly help with that. Likewise if you develop health problems from sitting for 8 hours a day.
That's right, it's sensitive enough to pick up when she's breathing. Babies can get sleep apnea which is ok as long as it lasts no longer than 15 seconds. Longer than that and you've got problems and you need to get there straight away.
My point is that games don't have to target a specific gender. Not only does that encourage gender stereotyping, but it limits the games available for either gender. It might be a viable market practice, but it should be criticized for its negative social effect.

Just fyi, but Sims wasn't targeted towards a specific gender. Its marketing was focused on young adults and casual gamers. The Sims is slightly more popular with females, but that doesn't mean it was specifically intended for a certain gender.

In addition, you don't need to speculate on the marketing of video games. The article I linked gives a very thorough walkthrough of its history. The very first games were predominately designed by men, but the content wasn't targeted towards males. For example, Pong, Breakout and Centipede are relatively gender neutral. The extreme marketing bias was introduced after the video game industry crashed in 1983. Companies had to be more careful of the products they created and Nintendo took the lead on the initiative to specifically target males.
Yeah, I launched the new version and found that dwarf therapist hasnt been updated (an absolutely needful addon if you like df, it makes managing the jobs so easy) and that there are quite a few bugs, longer worldgens crashing and various in-game crashes for undiscernible reasons, but all I did was turn on autosave and everything seems to be fine.

If you are into fortress mode (like me, I just dont like adventurer mode) just download the old release, there isnt enough changes for you to care and it is a bit more stable.
