Concerning your second item: I'm not sure how it compares, but there's chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

Concerning #4 there's Console2, ConEmu, and Cmder which is a package with ConEmu.

There are solutions for all but one of the above, which I mention because Brew isn't an Apple driven solution, so I assume you don't mind other decent solutions not provided by Microsoft.
Simply because one supports those goals does not mean that one must self-identify as a feminist. I happen to support those goals and I also happen to identify as a feminist.

I can imaging many people who have not studied feminist theory and yet still believe in the principles you listed. Can we legitimately ask that they self-identify as something of which they have little or no functional understanding?
Being charged with a crime and being found not guilty can still bankrupt you and consume years of your life. You can't be charged with a crime that isn't on the books.
That may be a reason why they're offering it for free - it does seem more like a downgrade (somewhere between 7 and 8) than an upgrade (somehow jumping up two major versions for a smaller than average feature set.)

> They are exactly the same as integers in that they are not pointers and thus count as dead-ends for the garbage collection algorithm.

Except that they are not the same since bools and enums don't need 64 bits and you mostly don't do integer arithmetic with them.

> In theory, you could unbox some extra things at the cost of complicating the garbage collection algorithm and the memory representatio of values. GHC does this for Haskell but the Ocaml guys don't because they highly value keeping the compiler as simple as possible.

I'm unclear on how special-casing integers and foisting a lot of bit-twiddling on all integer operations makes the compiler less complicated. Treating all values uniformly and using machine arithmetic everywhere would seem to minimize compiler complexity and make things faster.

> By the way, integer tagging is only important if your code s heavy in arithmetic operations or floating point operations (Ocaml tries to unbox floating point arrays, but sometimes it has to box floats). This often not that big of a problem and in the worst case you can always link Ocaml with C if you really want to.

Noted: if you want to do numerical work in OCaml, use C ;-)

But seriously, is there code that isn't heavy on integer arithmetic or floating point operations? Do computers do anything else?

It's a close to certainty that Cyclone significantly borrows from A57, if only from a time to market perspective.

By Oct. 2012, Samsung had licensed the A53 and A57 core designs: http://www.techhive.com/article/2013298/arm-introduces-64bit.... . They didn't have 'many details'; they had the design itself.

ARM designs are like a GIT repository, and the AXX continued having revisions and changes through 2013. Running with it early and you are bound to either go on a detour or end up with a noncompetitive variant.
/r/Fantasy (63,661 readers) is great. And sometimes it feels like half of it's users are (somewhat) well-known writers ;)

In their AUP, they have headings followed by full explanations. Under their "obscene materials" section, they specifically only talk about child pornography, which seems fair enough.

I get the impression they've reused this AUP from a shared hosting environment though, as banning CGI scripts, "chat rooms", and background services are not things practical to police on VPSes anyway but are commonly policed on shared hosting. Statements like "Any database stored on Atlantic.Net servers shall be limited in size to 50% of the total disk space allotted for a particular domain" seem to back up this hunch, since it's talking about space for a "domain" and not a VPS or server.

I think they need to improve their AUP as I'm not convinced that it's what they intend for VPS services, too much of it doesn't make sense for that sort of environment.

Anyone else remember the huge changes that used to come around OS releases? I remember the jump from Windows XP to Windows Longhorn (http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/story/70/00/007363/original/02...).

The revisions were ambitious and challenging. All OS releases have seem to kind of lost that recently. But that might just be a plateau we have reached.
Even then... you'll probably go face flat unless you pull back hard.
The Lua module is already in NetBSD, that's pretty official integration.

There is also a large overlap between people who use NetBSD and people who use Lua, probably due to the fact that they are both relatively small C based projects that try to do one thing well. Indeed the linked paper is written by two NetBSD commiters, the main author of Lua and another person on the Lua team.
Per the article, it stands for "What you want, when you need".
Yes, it is a very important feature for almost all types of users, and most are lost without it.

What boggles my mind about cheap hosts is how the IP addresses still seem to keep flowing. I thought we were close to exhausting them, and it's certainly tricky to get extra IPs on some hosts, yet you can pay relatively small sums to spin up VPSes all over the place, each with their own IP :-)

"[...] its biggest impact seems to be aesthetic. 'The main effect of Didymo is how it changed the appearance of rivers and streams,' she says. 'It's not toxic. It really doesn't do anything really awful.'

This is true, but it can cause problems for people swimming downstream: "people swimming in waters downstream from areas containing high concentrations of Didymo have complained of eye irritations, which may be caused by the silica of the frustules."

Microsoft hasn't confirmed (or denied) that "free upgrade" rumour.
Everything you said is totally true, which is why the SEC will block it. The most they could do is set aside 10% of the shares and let users proxy vote them, but I don't think that using them to back a cryptocurrency is going to fly with the SEC. I know a lot of people like Bitcoin because it's magical internet money with no rules, but financial markets are regulated for a reason.

I don't think the SEC would have a problem with the method (using a cryptocurrency) but rather the reason (using a cryptocurrency to avoid SEC IPO/ownership rules). If Reddit were public, I don't see a problem with using their stock to back a cryptocurrency. But it's a loophole big enough to drive a truck through, so the SEC needs to close it before the con men descend.

This makes Microsoft consistent in its inconsistency but that is still not a good thing.

> they need to do some user validation

Nonsense. There are plenty of cheap hosts that don't do that sort of validation.

>May I know what might be the reason why they don't allow this?

Either they copypasta'd a boilerplate AUP -- in which case they're inept. Or they don't know how to properly virtualize and manage those provisions -- in which case they're also inept.

I'm pretty sure millions of people didn't decide for themselves to put a U2 album in their playlist. Apple made that decision for them.

It's pretty clear that unless it's entirely your decision what goes on that device, what goes off and who has access to it, you didn't pay to own it, you paid for the right to access their content on their device under their terms. It doesn't matter if you paid money for it - they own it in every way that's relevant.

Isn't the whole idea of Guile is that it's a lightweight Lisp intended for Operating System scripting?
Surely the bigger news is that it appears to be the same OS on all MS devices?
It seems to me that Microsoft committed a faux-pas when it tried to revamp the user interface. The huge installed base of WinXP-Win7 style UI is an asset, not a liability. People have memorized how to use it; they don't want to throw away all that effort.

Notice how Apple has resisted drastically revamping their own desktop/laptop UI. It's not a touch/tablet UI, and it shouldn't try to be, as long as we continue to use keyboards and mouse/trackpads to work with it.
So this is that Didymo stuff then? Man, gets everywhere.
I'm in no hurry, and I'm sure most people would agree that they'd rather see a database improve stability than branch out too fast to new platforms. Keep up the good work!
Yeah. Okay.

Basically, a bunch of startups are "open source" in name only. That is, they are labeling themselves as open source without paying the piper.

To those startups I say: you don't get to do that. You don't have to publish your hardware designs on the net, but if you don't, you don't get to call yourself open source hardware.

The free software/hardware/culture people must [speak out against companies] who use the brand inappropriately. Failure to do so means dilution of the brand.

> Although, as of recently the reddit administrators started banning some of the more racist subreddits

Not completely sure, but IIRC those weren't banned because of racism but brigading/doxing. Which of course is bound to happen with subreddits catering to extremists.
I almost commented on the reddit post at the time, but decided not to. Now that I see it repeated, I want to.

This is a reading comprehension error, I think. I guess I'm not 100% sure. That "melting concrete and setting grass aflame" comes from the link, here: http://www.makeitlouder.com/Decibel%20Level%20Chart.txt

That link has many decibel levels, and examples, and factoids about the things producing the sound, unrelated to the sound itself.

I think the chart intends to say that the rocket melts concrete, sets grass on fire 1 mile away, and produces sound that is 220 decibels. Not that the sound itself is melting concrete or setting grass on fire.

The reddit post mentions "At 2 kilometers (140+ db), ..."

2km is a little more than 1 mile. So if the sound alone could set grass aflame a mile away, then that would mean that 140db at distance zero is enough set grass on fire.

If it can set grass on fire, then it can set a lot of other things on fire. Paper, clothing, hair, etc...

Some extremely loud rock concerts hit 150db.

So, while I guess I'm not 100% sure that this is an error, I just doubt that rock concert speakers can/would output enough volume to set things right next to them on fire. There would be huge safety issues, and risk of the speakers destroying themselves and other equipment.

I know nobody is right next to speakers this loud, but still... I doubt the accuracy of this 'melting concrete and setting grass aflame via sound' factoid.

I would love to be shown wrong, because it is really interesting if it's true.
If they borrowed liberally (ie copy and pasted) an existing AUP from some one else (typos and errors included) that doesn't even apply to their services, they don't deserve the ¢99.

That subsection is a morality clause, regardless of their explanatory blurb.
Pretty much the same story for me. When I first joined the Labs, I got a 5630 (the successor to the 5620), also called the 630 MTG. At the time, it was an impressive piece of equipment that was a huge improvement over a regular tty.

I found the video to be somewhat lacking in interesting technical details -- there really were a lot of neat things going on in the background to make it all happen.

Readers waxing nostalgic might enjoy Rob Pike's paper describing the 5620. It provides an in-depth look at what was going on behind the scenes.

Of course, I subsequently got a Sun 3/60 and never looked back. But it was fun while it lasted.
Diatoms are primary producers and the fastest growers. If they are thriving it's a signal the water quality has dropped and they are doing their job, consuming the excess nutrients, so trying to kill it makes no sense.

While they feed on nitrogen and phosphorus their limiting nutrient is silicates, so maybe it's tied to siltation (erosion making it's way into water bodies). I don't see this mentioned on the article.

That's exactly what they do. They'll call ReadProcessMemory() on every process and then use a regex + Luhn algorithm to check for credit card data.

> Am I the only one seriously underwhelmed?

It's not unexpected; at the rate Microsoft is pushed out new versions there isn't time for them to develop anything substantive. This should really be called Windows 8.5 but because Microsoft wants to distance itself so far from that it's actually 10.

The message Microsoft provides is that the huge version bump seems right given the number of changes but the reality is just the opposite. It's the perfect recipe for being underwhelmed.
And how is this "everyone can be in prison if we want it" attitude any good? That's a huge enabler of selective enforcement and limitless corruption.
You just described my situation to a tee. However, I can't tell you how many times people I talked to said to stay in school. I felt trapped in a bureaucratic mess too and still have a bit of time left until I graduate. The truth of the matter is that without a degree, life is just that much harder nowadays. Sure there are always exceptions but in hindsight they often work much more to get where they are.

I try to occupy my spare time with some side projects and hobbies as well so I don't get burned out. My girlfriend just split up with me and now I have an enormous amount of free time.

Focusing may seem impossible, but if you can distract yourself every now and then you will feel a bigger desire to get things done.

Good luck.
Re: extending vs. embedding, it depends on whether your main app is written in Lua, with C bindings (extending), or in C, with the C code calling the Lua interpreter (embedding). See for instance this Python guide: https://docs.python.org/2/extending/
The "higher brand" consultancies also live by their stamp of approval.

A CEO who wants to do a risky strategy will hire the biggest brand name possible to provide cover. "Nobody got fired for hiring McKinsey for advice" is similar to "Nobody got fired for buying IBM hardware". And in this case, the CEO can say, "Well, I hired the best to help me think it up" when it goes wrong.
Not to threadjack, but: what's a good alternative for the occasional high-ram, high-CPU-usage compute-intensive task? Say I wanted a machine to run some MCMC simulations, and needed 32GB RAM and a fast i7-class CPU. Where would I find one?
You are confusing mods and admins.

> For example, if you make a few self posts, make tons of comments, post links to 5 different websites, then post 1 link to your website, you are breaking the rule and if a mod sees it you can be banned (comments/self posts don't count towards the 90/10 rule so your 5 posts to 1 self promotion post is breaking the rules).

Some admin recently said that something like that has never happened. Only flagrant violators of that rule get shadowbanned by the admins.

Although it looks like Microsoft are trying to appease users with this release, I'm finding myself still leaning towards Android L for quick app development (using a java wrapped Chrome Web View).

Does Microsoft offer anything similar which can build apps using free tools (and isn't cloud based)?
I disagree. I think responsible moderation is not only positive, but mandatory for a community to maintain any sort of quality. Hacker News is moderated (usually quite well), and it would be far worse without that moderation. Likewise, /r/science would be a shit show without moderation; and /r/science is perhaps the heaviest moderated subreddit I subscribe to, including some quite controversial ones.

I don't know that the "one sub per mod" rule would be a net win; responsible volunteer moderators are hard to come by.
The right thing then would be to enable such individuals with disadvantages to become qualified.
We can go on and on about how it is a vicious circle and all that, but IMHO, the remedy is not providing opportunities to less qualified people, but take measures to educate and make them competent. Relavant initiative [1] [2]
