I wouldn't say that. The clothes look uncomfortable, there are mud tracks rather than road, the whole city is two- or even one-story buildings (which implies you'd be living without any subcultural clubs in walking distance - hope you enjoy the same things everyone else does). Even the melons the guy is selling are clearly in much worse condition than modern supermarket produce. And look at how many people it takes just to operate one small fire engine or boat.

These are beautiful, fascinating pictures, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Not to sound pedantic, but I think you mean marginal cost.
Dear lazyweb, what exactly is Qt's current business? The blog post makes it sound as if the commercial version of Qt wasn't free software. What freedoms does it take away? I know that Trolltech commercialised Qt by selling exceptions. What's the current business? Also, if 25% of all contributions are coming from non-Digia employees, does Digia require copyright assignment? Does their current commercial model require copyright assignments?
PMA ? what the actual fuck, whoever did this deserves a slow and painful death.

Do you have some concrete concurrency use-cases in mind that you could possibly share?
That wouldn't help in this instance: you can't track changes in a document you don't have. The court documents were not released to the public until after all of this happened; that was the point.
>After all, you could build a pretty good automatic photo identification system on top of Facebook.

There's very little utility in identifying people in pictures that were uploaded intentionally by people who knew who the people in the pictures were before they uploaded them.
Personally, I think it's great, but I do dislike how it tends to take over the entire project. It's not just UI, it's also QNetwork and QProcess and QByteArray and QSqlDatabase.
Completely unchanged of course.
What totally floors me about this one is that I can barely but not really see an argument for public domain; i.e. no one took the photo. But would this be any different from using automatic triggers and the like? No, not really, if the monkey isn't a person.

But, assuming for purposes of argument, that something neither a person nor a legal entity can somehow copyright a photo, I'm willing to bet that said monkey didn't release that photo under an appropriate license for Wikimedia to use. So if the monkey does own the copyright, Wikimedia still doesn't have the right to use it.

I would argue that you were right when you wrote:

> Even as Microsoft stuck to its waterfalls internally, Visual Studio was used by third-party developers who themselves wanted to use agile methods, creating pressure on the Developer Division to build better support for these approaches.

These features are definitely being driven by external customers. (Disclaimer: I work on the TFS team, in particular on the Version Control team, so I can speak to the changes in version control throughout the years.)

TFS was initially conceived as a mix of the tools for software development (version control, issue tracking, continuous integration) that were heavily influenced by the tools already in use at Microsoft to build (say) Windows and Office. That's why the version control component in the first version of TFS was a checkout/edit/checkin model. Clunky, yes, but scalable to the sizes of the codebases that we wanted to support internally. That's also why the work item tracking is crazily flexible in ways that are barely comprehensible to mortals, it was meant to adapt to the different development practices that go on around these parts. So TFS 2005 looked a lot like the development tools that existed within Microsoft at the time, and it was really aimed at "influential" internal customers.

And that's great, but most of our customers outside of these walls don't have crazy multi-gigabyte source trees and the same checkout/edit/checkin model that's so useful for a code base the size of Visual Studio is an unnecessary annoyance if you've got a much smaller or more modular code base. And if you have a dodgy network connection or you travel alot, it's downright problematic. So bringing an edit/merge/commit model ("local workspaces") and a DVCS (Git) to the party were truly about growing and adapting TFS for our customers, who tend to be a little lighter weight and more agile than we are.
The thief made some small purchases that would have been comical if their consequences hadn't been so ridiculous and far reaching. For instance, he rented a video at Blockbuster (!) that he didn't return. Blockbuster attempted to contact "me" several times about the video, assessing various late fees, but never charging them to my card for some odd reason, until finally it sent a collections agency after me. This entire, petty drama went unbeknownst to me until it wound up on my credit rating. All over a fraudulently derived, $15 late fee at a freaking video rental place.

Getting this incident wiped from my credit history took an elaborate and drawn-out series of phone calls, letters, forms, interviews, etc. Even then, a decent amount of damage had been done, and various reports had spawned other reports, and I was borked in countless derivative reports and company databases. I had to do some "rebuilding" (in the parlance of the credit companies) for a few years. And this was just one of several, roughly similar purchases that accrued in the system under my name. The irony is that a bolder thief, making bigger purchases and maxing out the card, would have caused less damage to me by catching everyone's attention in flagrante delicto.

I actually agree with you for the most part. Google wants with HTTP2/SPDY to foster an internet based on highly stateful applications, the web as a remote GUI to their servers, rather than mostly stateless documents as it has been. I don't see this as an improvement.

I don't know the details of the testing regimen, but it seems to me that you're offering a false choice fallacy: that we must either do testing the way it's done today, or not do testing.

While I don't know what the alternative might be, it seems reasonable to assume that there are other levels of intermediate trade-off, where we're willing to accept somewhat higher risk for lesser expense (not to mention faster time-to-market).
In the Millionaire next Door (or maybe it was the Millionaire Mind), it was pointed out that a common way of becoming a high net worth individual isn't to make an obscenely huge amount of money; but rather to be careful about how you spend the money that you do make. A lot of high net worth individuals own their own business, and make a good income, but are also frugal enough that they are able to build up wealth rather than make the money and immediately spend it.

Return of the Obra Dinn: Audio writeup
Upset that a smartphone behaves like a single-purpose landline? Certainly. I believe a fullscreen dialer is terrible UX.

Smartphones are very rarely marketed _as phones._
They are marketed based on differentiating features: everyone knows that the flagship Androids and the iPhone are plenty good at making calls.

This leads you to sell the device based on it's lifestyle features: like Siri, or Google Now. Often they are touted for their entertainment capabilities, or marketed as portable media players.

These devices are sold as though _they're more than a phone._
So I don't think it's entirely unrealistic to expect the dialer to be designed to cooperate with other apps.

My phone has more CPU cores, more RAM, and more storage than many netbooks. So I find it a bit strange that Skype on my netbook doesn't demand my full attention, but Skype on my phone not only demands it, _ but commands it._

It's esoteric because in reality it's the kind of bug that never happens. And if it happens it's trivial to identify the cause; "Oh, it hangs in the middle of a strack-trace, what could it possibly be...".

To be fair, I've done a fair bit of Clojure and Ruby in my short career, and while it's technically possible to write Ruby code in a Clojure-esque style, it's very ugly and Ruby does not make it very easy. When you write in Ruby, use classes or you will have a headache on your hands!
Stenography or other form of shorthand is the answer.

UK Treasury aims for Britain to be home of Bitcoin
Here is something I worked on recently. Let's say you could re-parse code while executing it. A lock is needed so you don't modify a statement list while executing it (you don't want execution to see the partial list). This is where you want one mutable reference to the statement list and then change it completely...so you could use an immutable list at this point. But you could just as well create a new mutable list at this point and save some cycles.
Can I throw one into the list? The median cost of a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco gets you approximately two bedrooms in Tokyo... in a semi-luxury apartment, in the most desirable neighborhoods. (Though this comparison is complicated a bit by the non-comparability of Japanese and US real estate. For example, your costs on move-in day will be substantially higher in Tokyo, and the real price of apartments is a few percentage points higher than the sticker price due to being assessed 1 month's rent every time you renew the rental contract, which happens in 2 to 5 year intervals.)

Still though, given that I have had lifelong impressions of Tokyo as being the most expensive place to live anywhere, I was pretty gobsmacked when I started doing the math.

> I never thought that most of their fear was due to prior killings or disease through both uncaring and caring encounters.

It's even worse than that. I recently read Jared Diamond's book The World Until Yesterday. In it he describes just how violent inter-group affairs can be among pre-industrial societies. Globally, the default is typically to kill anyone from another group before they have a chance to do the same to you.
I think this is somewhat misleading. It's easy to give a semantics for a toy C-like imperative language. As far as I know, a semantics that is mostly faithful to the C standard becomes extremely complicated and requires modeling e.g. code layout in memory. The equational reasoning you get from that kind of semantics is terribly weak: essentially, only terms that have the same byte-for-byte effect on memory are really equivalent. So I wouldn't say that exploiting "referential transparency" in Haskell is somehow more obvious, but that it's useful at all.

They sell a commercial version without any restrictions on usage. In order to accommodate this they do have a copyright license to Digia (https://codereview.qt-project.org/static/cla_individual.html).
The short version is that the way the credit system in the US works is basically an echo chamber. That one stolen credit card racks up a bunch of fraudulent charges, those charges get recorded by one of the credit reporting agencies and then shared with the other two. Those credit reports then get used as the basis for all kinds of other reports at other companies all the way up to and including the IRS. You basically spend the next X years arguing from one company to the next to fix the records, but the records tend to propagate faster than you can get them fixed, because everyone references everyone else.

Sadly at this point it would almost be simpler to concoct a new fake identity for yourself and get that entered in than it would be to fix your original corrupted identity.

Qt is licensed under GPL v3 and LGPL v2.1, but you can also buy a license if you want to use and/or modify Qt in a project without having to redistribute the whole thing under GPLv3 or redistribute your modified Qt under LGPL v2.1.

There's actually a lot of closed-source software you know of that uses Qt in some form: Autodesk Maya, Google Earth, Skype, and Spotify are just a few.

I'm not sure whether all of these teams use the commercial version (some may use e.g. the LGPL version) but it's probably not zero.

This is a matter of degrees. (No, not that type of degree.)

Let's assume for the moment that the monkey, as a non-human, cannot own copyright. Therefore it is a choice between the human holding copyright and the image being in the public domain.

If a monkey draws a picture using mud on a sheet of bark that has fallen on the ground, and a human notices the picture and picks it up, does the human own copyright? (Probably not, in my opinion.)

If the monkey picks up a camera offered to it by a human, who has set up the camera, switched it on, etc., and the monkey takes a picture, does the human hold copyright? (Not sure.)

If a human sets up a camera on a tripod, pre-focusses it, sets up a motion detection system to trigger the shutter, and the monkey walks past it triggering an image to be captured, does the human hold copyright? (Definitely, in my opinion.)
The answer to those questions is not simple; this is reviewing a bunch of studies and outcomes, so the answer is, it depends. As usual, there is no substitute for looking at the fulltext, eg http://annonc.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/07/30/an... (Looks like it omits the metric of most interest to me personally, RCT results for all-cause mortality, where I believe the cumulative n is ~10-20k.)
