It's ironic that a post about not being gender biased is down voted on an article about how we need to change gender bias.

Unlikely. There will probably be 300+ comments on the iWatch alone.

I wonder how much outside the realms of possibility a VR headset could be...? They have patents and seem to have become more serious about 3D graphics lately. Maybe I'm just dreaming though. Maybe a wearable could be something to allow an iPhone/iPod type device to function as headset?
re benchmarks...publishing some is on the TODO list. See https://github.com/zettio/weave/issues/37. Informally, weave is pretty fast but it's not saturating Gbit Ethernet. As you say, capturing with pcap and handling packets in user space carries an appreciable overhead.

We've got some issues filed to look at pcap alternatives and also generally aim to improve performance.

re suitability for NoSQL clustering... depends on where the bottlenecks are; if you want to cluster for HA rather than scale, i.e. there aren't any real bottlenecks, then weave will work well. Same if you want to cluster because of CPU or memory bottlenecks. If, otoh, networking is the bottleneck then adding weave into the mix isn't going to improve matters.

If it was a man who claimed to be a programmer and who wrote the book on passing technical interviews for programmers, would you doubt he was a programmer?

But because she's a woman who knows both programming and job interviews, you latch onto her recruiting aspect, and not her programming side. And note that people assumed she was a recruiter and not a programmer after she'd been talking code for an hour, not after she'd been talking job interviews for an hour.

It's not just about what she is, it's about how people choose to look at her, based on her gender.

Yocto seems to be an attempt to make a standards body for embedded Linux development. It's neat and probably a huge boon for corporate-sponsored development, but overkill for the casual developer to learn more about Linux. All you need is a HOWTO to step you through building a toolchain and setting up the files needed to boot up with some programs running at start time, which LFS provides.

afaik Chrome is the first browser to have Network Throttling built in in any capacity. Other browsers require you to use external tools to get anything.

Those tools also are using a chainsaw to cut bread instead of a knife. They attach to the browser as a whole, not the individual page you want.
So Creddle doesn't natively export PDFs, but rather relies on the browser to print the page as a PDF. At the very least, the site exports the resume to static HTML during this process in order to strip away unneccessary attributes and elements before printing.

It's a short-term solution. If I can recall correctly, I tried both wkhtmltopdf and PhantomJS and was able to succesfully export maybe 60-70% of resumes properly. But I ran into numerous differences with fonts and spacing that sometimes caused weird page or section breaks. I ended up scrapping that method in favor of working on DOCX exporting, because at least there was some method of printing a PDF, even if it was a workaround.

I do want to go back and re-explore PDF exporting, but other requests are taking priority at the moment. I do have guided help on printing as a PDF for a few browsers and OSs in the "Help" section.

Because it ultimately doesn’t matter. Those who really want to watch it already have some device that can play it and the rest doesn’t care about it anyway so much to watch a 2hr commercial and will just read about it somewhere or see it on TV later. I think it’s as simple as that. That’s why Apple doesn’t really try to make this work for as many people as possible.

Yes, of course you can doubt people's ability regardless of their gender, but it doesn't happen regardless of gender, it happens because of gender. People start out thinking: "Woman. Probably not a good coder. Ah, see? She knows about job interviews! She's a recruiter! Not a programmer at all." Had it been a man, they'd be: "Hey, this programmer knows a lot about job interviews!"

In Linux/FOSS distros using outdated software is really not good idea unless you know what you are doing or have support from the distro which have people that should be able to fix the security vulnerabilities. e.g. RedHat, Suse, Canonical, Debian.

Using software which is dead upstream often makes distro maintainers want to remove the software from the repository because they are not able/want to maintain. BTW... I'm curious about which version of GTK+1.x is he using. GNOME does not support GTK+-1.x for years how wonder who fixes the security vulnerabilities also.

I think if I were you (25, statistically likely to be single), I would live in the cheapest accommodations I could stand and use the mostly-excess portion of that 100k to buy rental homes in cash. Do that for a number of years, and it won't be long before you have passive income and you can make your 100k and work at whatever thing makes you most happy.

If you don't like real estate, then pick something else: save a bit longer and buy a pizza franchise. Save for a few centuries and buy a football franchise. Buy some other kind of small business. Learn an investment strategy that makes you a few percentage points annually.

This is generally called passive income, and you don't get this on someone else's payroll. You have to get there on your own.
True. For any other site it would matter, as doing so hurts your search ranking, but I seriously doubt Apple.com worries about search rank.

The new iMac 27" should have a nice 5120x2880 screen. That would sure justify the hype.

But I bet we'll just get a 4.7" iPhone, Apple catching up to where Samsung has been for three long years now with a medium sized phone instead of a tiny chiclet. (I love the chiclet, but bigger would be better.)

And we'll probably get another lousy "smart" watch that needs charging every day and doesn't do anything you can't do by pulling out your phone for a second. Maybe fanatic runners like Apple's CEO will find it almost as useful as a fuelband or fitbit.

Note: Downvoters really hate the idea of a retina iMac.

As a senior marketer who was up last night till after midnight analyzing view-through attribution data for our display efforts, I really resent that.

You may not clearly understand what goes into marketing, but just as there are good and bad people in any field, a good marketer actually does quite a bit of work. In most cases, marketing is one of the most visibly measurable functions in a company and unless the company is growing itself because it is a one-in-a-million hit, marketers have their hands full and rarely have enough resources.

Drop the stigma against marketing already--it's getting pretty old.

A company that makes use of tech but is not a tech company. The problem is finding one that treats its employees well... basically I found myself in the position you describe. I stuck around for years but ultimately decided it was not good for my career long-term. On the other hand, I was pulling right around $100k, working from home, realistically putting in 2-3 hour days most days. I went entire weeks without doing any actual work beside sending a couple emails, if that. But it didn't feel cool, like I was getting one over. It made me feel like shit.

If you find something like this you absolutely must supplement it with lots of self-directed learning or you'll stagnate and be totally stuck.

"Our live broadcast begins at 10 a.m. PDT."

Considering that the entire world uses GMT, and that only US citizens use PDT, they could have bothered to use GMT.

If by 'low accountability' you mean - don't do much work - it definitely exists and is all over corp IT shops. I would separate out the technical positions from the management positions.

A manager usually doesn't do much real work, they have a team to do the work, but does often bear the responsibility to higher up mgmt, and will get canned when things go bad.

A dev works very hard, but once you become an expert after years of specialization in say a particular language for framework, you can coast because it takes you 30 minutes what a junior person may struggle with all day.

I've met all kinds of devs who are very sharp, they make over 100k and they don't "work hard" at all.

Probably because most users would prefer that the sites they visit actually work.

Supporting other embedded languages might be nice, but of course, unless all the major browsers also support the same, sites would have to provide an alternative in javascript for everybody else.

Not supporting javascript at all when it's integrated so deeply into the web, when you will doubtless be able to simply turn it off if you want, seems unreasonable.

For better or worse, the web is becoming a platform for distributing javascript binaries which execute in the browser. Unlike most other platforms, however, at least you can turn it off or view the source or block parts of it if you like.

How can it be a wrap-up, or judged to be spot-on in advance of any actual confirmed facts?

I'll admit he's probably mostly prescient, but we won't know for another hour or two.
You know what I wonder?

An alternative explanation to a very confident Apple is just that they changed their attitude about all this, thinking there is not really much of a difference between them providing a countdown or others doing it (before the last Keynote this countdown webpage got pretty huge), between them providing a liveblog or others doing it (there are always many liveblogs with often crappy photos, so why not shot beautiful photos and provide them directly?), unaware that would hype up the event.

I don’t think it’s that, but if they are sufficiently tone-deaf that could be the case. Apple historically hasn’t really been, definitely not when it comes to their events, but who knows …
Historically, the new iPhone becomes available on Friday a week and a half after the event and the new iOS is released for older phones at the same time.

Ever since Apple originated consumer computer video with Quicktime back in the early 1990s, they've done a great deal to make it better, first for CD Roms and in a proprietary fashion. But when the net came around they opened up their proprietary format to become a standard-- the Mpeg4 file format is the old MOV format. They've also proposed a lot of improvements along these lines for other people to adopt.

Like Bonjour, I really don't understand why other companies don't adopt these open standards. They don't benefit Apple particularly. It's not like Apple has some competitive advantage in HTTP Live Streaming. Meanwhile these competitors rush to copy everything else Apple does.

Frankly, I think its appalling that youtube, for instance, is still running on flash. How many years ago did they first trial MP4 streaming? Why I can't I access all the videos over MP4?

Why would you want your browser to be bad at streaming video?

I would expect ZFS to outperform btrfs because of ARC and ZIL. ARC allows ZFS to increase the cache hit rate. ZIL permits ZFS to update its on-disk trees asynchronously. I am not aware of any analog to this in btrfs. Desktop users typically report that their systems become more responsive after switching to ZFS.

The only case where I suspect btrfs might significantly outperform ZFS involves getdents() when the caches is cold. This is because ZoL does not presently do readahead on directory lookups. This has a noticeable impact on the performance of `ls` on the first access of a directory on mechanical storage, but it is not a problem for subsequent reads or on solid state storage. Prefetch support in getdents() will likely be implemented in either the next release or the one that follows.

At some point we have to make the call on diminishing returns. It will always be possible for root to bork a system (without a rewrite of many, many utilities that rely on root permissiveness), it's just a matter of how hard we can make it to do that accidentally. To be clear, I think this work is very useful and appreciated though. As someone that spends almost all of every working day in terminals on remote systems, often as root, I applaud any effort to reduce catastrophic mistakes. Every time I have to rm -rf as root there's that little after-I-hit-enter-panic, where I have to assure myself I double checked and didn't accidentally just delete /bin. The root is protected from the errant rm mistake, but there's oh so many more ways to reduce a perfectly fine system to an unbooting heap of hardware.

> The root/user distinction places all your faith in octal permission bits. In some ways a properly designed run-as-root system is less risky, because the safeties are baked into the OS at a much deeper level. It is the difference between a dangerous machine having physical safety interlocks and paper-thin "for your safety" policies.

> I would have thought it would be more feasible to create something with already proven technology

If everyone felt that way, nothing would ever get proven and we'd still all be using, I don't know, COBOL or something. :)

Different teams have different perspectives on risk. Some want to ensure they can ship something stable with no surprises. Others think there's a chance that a newer piece of technology will be better enough to be a competitive advantage and are willing to take that chance.

The first soldier to run onto a battlefield with a musket was using unproven technology too, but it worked out pretty well when the enemy just had swords.

> is there something in Dart that I am missing which makes it considerably better than languages such as JavaScript etc.?

I've worked on large JavaScript codebases, and I found them really hard to maintain and understand. I'm on the Dart team, so I'm obviously biased, but here's what I like:

1. The language is statically shaped, meaning classes and methods have a declarative, not imperative syntax. It means that tools can understand the classes and operations in your program just by parsing it. That makes nice code navigation (go to definition, find callsites, etc.) easy where I've never found it to work well in JS.

Note that this isn't about static types and type annotations and stuff like that. It's just about being declarative versus imperative. I also find declarative code much easier to read than JS's soup of SomeType.prototype.someMethod = function() { ... }

2. It has a really nice standard library. Solid collections with lists, maps, sets. Lots of higher-order functions for transforming them. Futures and asynchronous streams are built right into the core library (and used by the DOM!). A much cleaned up DOM library. For basic mucking around with data, I don't need to lean on third-party libraries in Dart like I do in JS.

3. Static typing help find a lot of my bugs early. I don't annotate local variables, but even annotating at method boundaries is enough to find all of my dumb typos. It also gives me auto-complete for methods, which is a huge time-saver when working with unfamiliar code.

4. Lots and lots of little nice language features: getters and setters, final, lazy-initialized top level variables, string interpolation, => lambdas, correct binding for this, solid block lexical scope, etc.
