Definitely not Gmail passwords, or at least not passwords leaked from Google themselves. I have an account on there that I only use for spam and signing up for sites that require an email address, but it lists a junk password that has never been used with that account on Google itself. It's been used with that email address on many sites, but not Google.

It seems this list is either curated to only include Gmail address scraped from some other site or they tried combining an email and a passwords list together.
Another part of the problem is that people feel that systemd is being forced on them (more so than the usual "my distro switched to X, so I'm stuck using X"). The major issue right now is systemd-logind, a replacement for the unmaintained ConsoleKit daemon which is used to manage login sessions. logind provides functionality that is necessary for modern desktop environments, but it's designed to work only with the systemd init daemon. GNOME in particular has been talking about adding a hard dependency on logind, and once that happens the only choice of init system for people running GNOME will be systemd.

if you have to spend substantial time & effort on it then obviously don't. The scenario I was talking about involved nothing more than logging in to cPanel to create a new site, making an FTP account, DB + user and that's about it. The beauty of it was that there was almost no work involved in hosting those relatively small LAMP sites.
It's a big ask to want integrated debugging, project management, advanced semantic search (go to implementation in child class), and semantic manipulation (extract these methods into a new class) for all the languages you happen to want. Perhaps it's possible, but it's a huge project.

It's at least an order of magnitude easier to support viewing, editing, syntax highlighting, and textual search across arbitrarily many languages, which is why there are many tools that support that feature set, including almost all major code editors.

I don't know how JetBrains architects their IDEs, but I suspect they have some in-memory database that populated with indexed project metadata. To add multiple metadata indices (for different languages) with cross indexing between them would be an entirely different data model. Again, it would be much more work to develop, test, and maintain.
In the first two images you link there are dual mode indicators - one in the middle and one just by the value itself - in what looks like a manual they are both shown lit up at the same time which seems more like a problem with the documentation than what is shown in the actual aircraft picture (your third link). I'd venture a guess that in "V/S" mode you'd see that indicated next to the number just as you see "FPA" in the cockpit image.
If they weren't, after this they're still won't.
Lifetime will definitely be shorter than a luxury watch but 'face time' will be far greater (time spent actually looking at the face). So still seems like an excellent feature to me.
Congratulations! Great job getting to 1.0!

The Erlang VM is a beautiful piece of engineering - anything that brings people into its orbit is good for programming.
In IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, you can install all language plugins for no additional cost. However, project initialisation and management gets a lot harder with several language plugins enabled. The language-specific IDE from JetBrains will still be easier to use, but for a price.
Moto360 may not be svelte, but the attachment of the band is not at the edges - which make it fit better on smaller wrists like mine.
It's a replacement for Objective-C, but you can mix and match code in the same project.

You'll need to know both, at least for the time being - many open source libraries are written in Objective-C, so if you need to make tweaks, you'll need to understand Objective-C. Also, a lot of existing tutorials aren't written for Swift.

One really important thing to note is that even though the languages are different, the underlying iOS/OS X libraries and frameworks are the same. The hard part isn't really learning the syntax of the language, it's understanding how to accomplish what you want. For instance, showing pins on a map or displaying items in a collection view.

FWIW, I teach iOS app development, and I think that beginners should learn Objective-C, not just Swift.

Some jobs will require Swift, some Objective-C, some both and some neither. The best Junior jobs will realize they should require neither and hire the best general programmer, which is what I have always done.

Senior developers only need Obj-C for now, but should be learning Swift already.

> What is it about init systems that causes this outrage?

I like systemd. It has shaven quite a few seconds off my boot time. I get that its modularity simplifies things for the developer. However, I understand some of that outrage. Linux systems have typically been mix-and-match. However, when systemd started gaining popularity, some packages have been written to depend on it, and it seems to be becoming difficult for people to choose not to have systemd. Given that systemd is built to make good use of Linux-specific features, it's also annoying for *BSD developers to get many software packages to build and run on their systems.

Look at the output from my own setup:

Required By : accountsservice bluez-utils chromium colord crda device-mapper lib32-systemd
libgusb libpulse libusb lightdm lvm2 media-player-info mesa mkinitcpio
netctl packagekit pcmciautils polkit procps-ng python2-pyudev qt5-base
qtwebkit rtkit spotify subversion systemd-sysvcompat udisks2 upower
xf86-input-evdev

I don't understand why many of these packages need systemd.

Well, 1930's functional programming. Those techniques developed into various type theories pretty quickly (at the time for foundational reasons, but also for comprehension/management/expressiveness reasons).

Or if you have a more strict reading, Lisp is implementation-driven FP in the 70s compared to theory-driven FP from the time.

I would guess that the profit margin on IAP is higher than on hardware.

Swift is just a fresh new language which is compiled statically just like C/C++.

Swift's Objective-C compatibility mode is a kind of ugly extension feature to support their legacy code. The compiler makes inter-op stuffs automatically.

You can target only down to 7.0 because Apple set the goal of 7.0. There should be some stuffs required to support Swift, anyway it doesn't matter unless you're a runtime engineer. Point is earlier than 7.0 is out of support by Apple.
Beginners should comprehend essentials of Objective-C first and then learn Swift. At first there will be demand for Objective-C since a lot of companies already use it. But over time it should change in favour of Swift (more aggressive promotion by Apple).

Swift is a replacement for Objective-C in Apple world. But that doesn't mean Objective-C is going anywhere. It has rich ecosystem and experienced developers all over the world.
You can create application using both languages simultaneously which allows you to use mature libraries or frameworks in Swift.

Language is a tool. Companies don't hire programmers for knowledge of specified language but for the ability to solve problems.
I happened to work in parallel with Rob a while ago and could not agree more with him on his systemd opinions.

I just wish that Debian did not take systemd, that _really_ saddens me.
To be fair, you need a good portion of a compiler to syntax highlight C and C++ accurately due to the preprocessor, overloading, operator overloading, and a few other features.

Of course the solution, perhaps, would be to use a clang-based tool to provide syntax highlighting rules. I would hope JetBrains does something like this and contributes back to the clang project so everyone else can benefit from the bugfixes and new features they require to get their product to a good place.
Agreed, the password it has for me is not my Gmail password, but one that I've used to sign up for various junk accounts using the email address.
I don't think it really matters at all what exactly you did if there was an agreement that you get a third of the equity.

Reggie's mistake was not getting it in contractual form. However, clearly the law still takes clearly communicated pacts between friends somewhat seriously, as it forced Snapchat to settle.
I have always wondered what use is this with regards to spam and sneaky address lists. What exactly prevents someone from cleaning up the addresses before letting them out?

If I were a bad behaved site and sell (sold? sorry, tired and non native speaker) my userlist, i'd probably remove all plus-suffixes from the addresses. Same as if I were a blackhat stealing them to be sold.

Honest question, no snark.

That's exactly the sort of thing that was likely specified in the settlement agreement itself, probably in exchange for a lower financial cost of settling.
I don't know if it's true or not, but given that they've paid nothing, doesn't that seem perfectly fair?
Well, if the effect is just experimental error, I agree that no explanation is needed.

I was using entropy in the information theoretic sense, as you might assign a measure of entropy in bits to each character in a language. If part of an animal is "less surprising" I'd say it contributed less to the entropy of the whole thing. Maybe that's too woolly.

There is a difference between complex mechanical and organic objects, though. See the universal machine tools illustrated on this page: http://www.lathes.co.uk/adcock%26shipleycombination/

There is no way you could identify the whole machine based on seeing a small part if an identical part recurs in many different machines. It's not holographic in the way animals are.
Just like there's no such thing as "unlimited data storage" there isn't really such a thing as "unlimited DDoS protection." I assume there's SOME limits on how much you get with a free or even $20 plan. I can only imagine what the companies that specialize in DDoS protection charge.
The repugnant thing is that there are a lot of things that are best kept secret, but there is a "hacker ethos" (yeah, not followed by all hackers) to disclose everything. Or at least everything about the other guy. Often enough, privacy really is the main consideration in deciding what to disclose and what not to disclose. Sometimes keeping secrets is beneficial for everyone.

Net neutrality is about ISPs being able to limit or slow other services, or force those services to pay more, for access to their customers. For example, Comcast throttling netflix, forcing Netflix to pay Comcast for unrestricted access to their customers, or forcing their customers to pay more for unrestricted access to Netflix (or some combination of the three).

This is only really an issue with American ISPs, as the US is one of the few (or the only?) jurisdictions where this sort of behaviour is allowed.
Personally, I feel that anyone that can't deal with a resume "blank spot" isn't really serious about finding an actual person: blank spots happen, it's just that some people stay in a job they hate, so that both the job and person suffer, rather than taking a step back.

I'd explore why doing something you're interested in, that helps you get on a path you're interested in, is a "shot to your pride" rather than what it is: an opportunity that you'd actually enjoy, and would help you down a path you say you're interested in.
I don't like how this article makes offshore development equal to hiring developers that make spaghetti code full of technical debt, like having someone in-house magically stops that from happening.

Also, if you hire cheapest programmers you can find, they will be crappy no matter what country they're working from.

Nontechs like outsourcing because they think it's cheap. This makes them bad at playing the outsourcing game to win. If you go for the cheap, you lose.

If you optimize for cheapness, you get poor work, abroad just as here. It's not that the talent level is the problem. There's plenty of underemployed talent overseas. It's engagement. There are a zillion sleazy outsourcing shops that charge U.S. clients $30/hour and pay $6/hour on the other end. If you go cheap, you're getting people paid the same damn wage they'd get if they walked across the street to a different low-paying El Sleazo outsourcing shop, so they're not going to be engaged. This is especially true if it's obvious that you plan on replacing them with local developers once you raise an A round.

If you paid $30/hour (to worker; the cost to US client would be higher) in India or the Philippines you could attract top talent, assuming you know how to recognize it. (As in the U.S., paying highly doesn't guarantee you get good people. Look at the crap that Corporate America gets for CEOs despite paying millions per year. You actually need to be able to assess the talent, and few can.)

If you're a non-tech, not a chance. Non-techs can't tell the difference between people like me and the 99 who convincingly (to a non-tech) say they're like me within the same country, so how are they going to do it across cultural and language barriers?

Outsourcing can be profitable and, done well, it's a good thing for the world. However, nontechnical founders looking to play this first-stage-abroad game are going to lose. To get good foreign talent, a first prerequisite is to treat it with the same respect as good local talent. That means investing in their skills and careers, flying them to conferences, and treating them as (and, in fact, making them) a permanent part of the team. If you're just using them for temporary cheap labor and planning to hire permanent engineers locally once you raise a Series A, they'll figure it out (they're not stupid) and it will show in the work produced.
In general, this is not about the merits of systemd as a program.

GNU/Linux represents choice and freedom. The abundance of distros is proof of that. You can choose your preferred init system, system logger, cron daemon, desktop environment, browser, etc.

Now, systemd is being forcefully pushed to all distros. For instance, by merging udev (a part of the Linux kernel) with systemd. We can't even build a distro anymore without downloading systemd. User choice is under threat.

In this situation, some people align with the forceful approach of systemd. Some prefer to choose what goes into their computers. This is similar to the inclusion of DRM in Firefox, there's no middle ground.

So the debate is really about competitition vs a walled garden provided by systemd.
Twitter Has Acquired Digits.com Domain Name
That's a pretty good article. (If you're reading this, there is a 'they're' where it should be 'their' in the 2nd bullet).

What I miss is that the article places the weight of the potential problems with the party that is being hired.

More often than not the real problem is the inability of the outsourcing company to mange their relationship properly, to adequately spec what it is that they need and to do sufficient quality control on the result to make sure they get what they paid for.

This can result in lots of drama down the line.
Awesome power and maturity of the Erlang VM + modern syntax and hygienic macros... such beauty.

Why don't people get 2 weeks notice when being fired from a job? I should say that I haven't experienced getting fired, but I when I've seen it happen, people are asked to pack up their stuff and go.

I have switched jobs before and I know that you're supposed to give two weeks notice before you leave an employer. But why don't companies have to give 2 weeks notice to the employee? Maybe they do and I just don't know.

this article makes offshore development equal to hiring developers that make spaghetti code full of technical debt

It's not, but most of the non-techs who are interested in outsourcing are interested in optimizing for cheapness, so the result is what you'd expect.

I'd say that the real arbitrage is to work with extremely talented people (who'd go for $250/h here) at $30-40/hour (plus investment in their career, assistance with immigration if they want it, flights to conferences, and profit sharing... it's still a huge arbitrage after throwing that in) but the sorts of sleazy non-techs who "just need a programmer" and have heard there's cheap labor in the third world are not going to play that way (and they can't assess that upper level of talent anyway). They tend to work with El Sleazo outsourcing shops that charge $20-30/h and pay $4-6/h to the workers. Some of those workers, even at low wages, are quite intelligent and talented... but they're not going to care about long-term issues (e.g. tech debt) if they're just being used for temporary, low-end commodity work, with no managerial interest in their advancement.

In fact, if you're looking for clueless people ("I just need a programmer to do all the work for almost zero upside") your best bet is in Silicon Valley. There are plenty of 22-year-olds who buy into the VC mythology and will work 90 hours per week despite a lack of upper-management interest in their own careers. In the developing world, that cluelessness is rare because frank poverty, corruption and outright stealing (by well-positioned officials and common thieves alike) are more common and having that trait would mean that you starve. Working 90-hour weeks because "maybe after two years, he'll introduce me to his VC buddies" is a clueless young white boy's game.
As the article points out, there are other factors involved in this accident. IIRC, Air Inter did not equip its fleet with GPWS, for instance.
