"I think the best argument against swift is the plethora of knowledge, tutorials, stackoverflow answers there is for objective-c."

I've been amazed at how quickly the iOS development community has started porting tutorials written in Objective-C to Swift.

The learning ecosystem for iOS is light-years ahead of Android.

We have a handful of lenovo's at work(the T-series). Havent heard any complaints about them so far. And we had one very vocal dev that wouldnt use anything but lenovo :) (he had like 5 different generations of T-series and X-series). They also have some consumer series, which (according to the before mentioned vocal dev) one should avoid.

But I also see alot of people running windows on macbooks. So I guess that could work too.
That's because your text editor has had thousands of hours of work going into catching all of the edge cases.

Things which have caused editors to hang or crash:
1. Binary data outside of the US-ASCII visible range
2. Malformed or creative Unicode combinations
3. Very long lines
4. Very many lines
5. Inconsistent line termination
6. Lines with patterns which trigger syntax highlighting, URL underlining, etc.
7. Embedded terminal escape sequences

It's not unreasonable to imagine that the journald developers might spend the same amount of time on safeguards, something which is easier with a well-defined binary format.
Probably there were reasons to look like a bog-standard Wordpress template with a wide header image, but some character would be nice, though. I guess the real issues, however, are in the more frequented search and product pages. And they seem usable to me at the first look.
Haha, I did this (created another logging framework) at 23. It was a plugin-driven Python framework and it was beautiful (at the time), but was it necessary? Most probably, certainly not. Ah but I loved writing it. Really made me a better coder.

You are right, the practical side is a bit different. Another angle: which unemployed person would like to take the drudgery of a legal action when she has all kinds of other problems? It's easy for us to say he can take legal action but it's great emotional investment in the process, which might be used in job search instead. For society it's best if we sue, but for the individual it's very straining.
It is subtler than that, I think.

It´s not really age discrimination as much as a particular (stupid) view of what carrer development should be for a technical guy, in some places.

That is to say, it is expected that in your late carrer you moved into a management position of some sort, and not stayed "simply" a developer.

Again, stupid and counterproductive.

BTW by "fight" I mean metaphorically, of course.
I will preface this reply by saying that I am not very familiar with Tor.

Would using a VPN together with Tor be able to provide 'the best of both worlds', so to speak? Would you be able to encrypt your data via a VPN node and use Tor through that encrypted connection?

I assume this would solve the matter of your traffic being visible to whoever is running the Tor relay, but it be possible for the VPN operator to (potentially and hopefully hypothetically) still perform an MITM attack on your traffic?

And lastly, is there a truly practical way to be not only anonymous but also secure (i.e. encryption)?

I hope that made sense.

> I have things that I think are far more interesting to work on than worrying about hardware compatibility.

I've never used an Apple system, but I have the impression that only a subset of third-party hardware is compatible. Is that accurate? I've perhaps deduced incorrectly from the number of one-star Amazon reviews that decry 'lack of Apple drivers'.

To me that would be frustrating since there are only two parties that can resolve such an issue ( Apple and the vendor ) rather than in OSS world where there's a chance of reverse-engineering a driver.
It starts with this:

The full documentation for XY is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If
the info and XY programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info coreutils 'XY invocation'

should give you access to the complete manual.

>It's not about fighting your body, it's about having discipline.

The whole reason for the lifestyle change is so that you don't need discipline. Forcing yourself to go to the gym against your desire is only going to last so long.

What helps is to realise that "things I enjoy doing" is a flexible category and that by getting good at activities you can move them into that category. This may also mean giving up or doing less of existing hobbies.

I used to play a lot of computer games, now my default activity on a Saturday is to play tennis, go swimming, or climb. There's friends who still structure their free time around gaming, I don't see those friends as much any more because the degree to which we share a hobby has changed.

A lifestyle change is inherently disruptive - almost by definition it will change how you socialise and with whom.

Frequently people want to change their lives without changing who they are (which I understand) but that's inherently a tricky proposition. If old-you was that great, you wouldn't be where you are now.
I've been buying HP's higher end notebooks for a number of years now. There have been some build quality issues, mostly cosmetic.. but they are repaired promptly and correctly, and turn out to be fairly reliable machines at least for the first 3 years of use. (EliteBook, Zbook)
I also have a T530 and it runs well. I bought the docking station and use it as a full desktop replacement with no trouble.

> Oh, also, I don't know how to invite people yet.

Its from the create (+) button, but I don't think you necessarily start with invites right away, and I don't think it shows the Invite option after you hit the create button unless you have invites.

At least, I'm assuming that's why I've never seen the invite button in my Inbox (app or web) even though I've seen the instructions on the support page.

On the plus side, it only took me a few hours to get an invite from Google just by emailing inbox@google.com.
The Church is a body of people. The people of the Church donate money towards its purposes - the preservation of manuscripts isn't a main focus of the Church and is something the support of which isn't confined to Christians (or in this instance Catholics, who may or may not be Christians!).

In the same way that you might donate to a soup kitchen run by a Church fellowship, because the money goes to feeding hungry people, you might donate to manuscript preservation.

That people in the Church donate their time and money towards such causes and ask for other people to donate their money doesn't seem wrong.
Good for them. I mean that.

If they want to redesign their driver so it fails to work with non-genuine FTDI chips, go for it. Nobody will judge them. Heck if they want to show a message that informs the user they're using a fake, that's fine too.

I think most people seemed to agree that bricking fakes was too far (and also could be considered illegal in some countries/areas). It also negatively impacted innocent parties (e.g. consumers who purchased generic goods, which happened to contain fake FTDI chips).

Plus if you're in the business of bricking things, it is too easy to make a mistake and brick your OWN stuff. I mean software bugs are common, and it is best to stay away from a set of them which indefinitely makes chips malfunction.

PS - I wonder if Microsoft got in touch and essentially told them "we will pull your driver from Windows Update unless you do it first. It won't return until it is fixed." We know from the previous thread that Microsoft was looking into this.
From the abstract:

Finally, we show that plasma levels of anti-ClpB IgG crossreactive with α-MSH are increased in patients with AN, bulimia and [binge eating disorder], and that the [eating disorders] Inventory-2 scores in [eating disorders] patients correlate with anti-ClpB IgG and IgM, which is similar to our previous findings for α-MSH auto-Abs.

Am I the only one who almost never uses a moble device one-handed? Anything that requires fairly rapid accurate tapping, I just can't do reliably with my thumb.

Actually, now that I think about it, it probably has to do with the fact that I turned off auto-"correct" from the very beginning, so when I'm typing I have to tap every single character manually.

> Nowadays, if you have access to the Internet, there's no excuse not to be proficient with English.

That is so true. A lot of my compatriots seem to not realize that they are missing an incredible amount of information by disregarding English. And I often find myself angry at them when they try to argue that English is not that important and they don't need to know/learn it. So frustrating.

> France has an official language which means that content is vastly translated and this-is-bad(TM) - the we are slower at getting better at English.

Again, completely agree. I'm a huge proponent of subtitled media content and believe that that's what should be used when showing movies/tv shows on national networks (cable or sat can do whatever they want).

From an old Onion article at http://www.theonion.com/articles/death-star-to-open-day-care... :

> After months of speculation, it was confirmed yesterday that the Death Star, the Empire’s vaunted, planet-destroying space station, has added a new, state-of-the-art day care center to its already vast array of capabilities. The massive four-room day care center, which, according to Grand Moff Tarkin, will “provide a safe and fun learning environment for tots between the ages of one and four,” has already begun spring enrollment and is expected to be fully operational by June 1.

> ... Last Friday, in the middle of a coloring activity, the planet Alderan was blown up, delighting 23 of the 24 children who witnessed the devastating power of the battle station.

> ... “As a stormtrooper and father of three, I’m very excited about the new day care center,” Death Star citizen Ralph Sedgwick said. “It’s a safe, nurturing environment, one in which my child will learn.”

I'm not at all saying that NSWL is evil. Only that, realistically, even the most quintessential of evil empires must surely not have been evil in every single aspect. A large organization can't work that way.
That's amazingly terrible!

Though BSD advocates would make the argument that if it was GPL, Apple would never have used it in the first place.

(Personally I'm not sure if it's even possible to definitively say which situation is better; you can't do something scientific like releasing a library under both licenses and seeing which people use, because they would interfere - you really need two parallel universes to see the true effect of that one change)

wow, sorry to hear that... that makes things way more difficult.

In that case, I would suggest that he applies to some of the bigger companies (like... real big), like HP/Dell, and market himself as a "tech-lead" -- it's got more hope of being near code than a project manager, and they value experience (and it's relatively easy to get into big companies)... Though I don't know which big companies are in spain (AFAIK that's where you are?)

I have a Lenovo W520 which has discrete graphics, 32GB of RAM (added aftermarket) and it is a beast. I also upgraded the HDD to an SSD and that is something to do right.

Some minuses are that the bluetooth quit working with Windows 8, although I got a USB bluetooth dongle. Also I got the dock for the W520 and found it doesn't work ~quite~ perfectly in terms of the USB ports realizing you just plugged something in and connecting on the first time.
If you access Amazon from a touch-enabled device this has been the default for months (e.g. Microsoft Surface).

A lot of apps are just API consumers, but apps with any kind of moderately advanced functionality will require some kind of entity model and business rules that need to be captured. Having those things go out of sync between platforms can be a source of bugs or slower development. For shops invested in Java or with a lot of Java engineers, something like this can be be useful so that the entity model and business rules can be encapsulated in a single code base.
It could be related to post-retirement activities.

Men, as a hypothetical, might take up drinking and fishing, leading to an increase in mortality caused by liver failure, cancer, what have you.

I used to swear by IBM thinkpads, but I think the quality has gone down hill since being sold to lenovo.

I have a Thinkpad T43p with 2gb of ram from 2006 that still runs pretty good today (with a new battery), on the other hand pretty much every lenovo I have bought since (2 or 3 of them) have all had some problem that prevented me from using them.

I no longer recommend thinkpad to anyone.
ANTINEWS is the best kind of NEWS. And you don't just lose things, come on. Our recent support for running a system instance of systemd/uselessd without taking over init (as early and rudimentary as it still may be) is a good thing. Cross-libc is another. A couple of things from main.c were refactored into independent tools.

This is still a giant WIP and it's quite experimental. We make this perfectly clear in the wiki that it's not ready for system integration or daily use, and there's still a long way to go (including some more radical ideas) before we ever think of making a stable release.

uselessd is about sticking to processes. Did we not make that clear? If you want a dedicated supervisor, you can use something explicitly designed for such a purpose, like monit or supervisord, instead of using systemd's mixed functionality. Device activation can still be accomplished through (e)udev. We're device node manager-agnostic. We made this clear.

No, you're not screwed. I think you completely ignored the fact that we intend on being portable. This is still early, again, but nonetheless we do compile on FreeBSD and Debian GNU/Hurd and some of the tools (like systemd-delta) actually run properly.

To be honest, we haven't tested the systemd-fsck unit. We mostly removed the binary due to being something that used libudev and looked like it belonged to a shell script more than anything. You can still force fscks through other means (tune2fs for ext2/3/4, etc.) We'll be sorting this out.

It sounds like this project offends your personal ideological sensibilities, as you totally misunderstand its purpose and fail to realize it's a WIP and unstable.

By the way, I liked the jab about choice. I wish we all voted for the same political party, too.

That's real CS, which is very focused on deep understanding -- not domain knowledge in software tools. You should ditch the attitude. Your first comment wasn't even necessary. You were just looking to feel good about yourself.
Mapping Mutable Genres in Structurally Complex Volumes [pdf]
Really nice tool. I haven't tried it on any non-trivial code yet but it worked well for a couple of small utility functions I use all the time. I know Java and I'm an ObjC learner, but I have to get some stuff working quickly and this might help short cut the process. I only worry that it will be a crutch to keep me from learning ObjC well.
So basically you're doing all this for the lulz of confusing and pissing off people and don't really want anyone to actually use the software?

The hotel business has the separate concepts of "operator" and "owner". The operator is the brand you know. The owner is some property ownership company that contracted a particular operator to build and run their property. The branding is so thorough that you generally don't see any indication of the actual owner, except in the rare cases where a property changes brands.

Just take a look at this list of the top 25 hotel owners: http://nreionline.com/research/real_estate_top_hotel_owners_...

A few are the brands themselves, since they are the owner/operator for some properties. But many are companies you have never heard of that own hundreds of hotels.

I'm going to do a bit of shameless self-promotion for my CLI tool for ad-hoc deployments, hawk:

https://github.com/mtrudel/hawk

Using a bit of XML glue, it uses simple building blocks of xcodebuild, S3, and email to give you one command building and distribution of your app, all driven by a plaintext Hawkfile. I (and a few colleagues) have been using it for a couple of years now, and it's been a real boon. Would love feedback.
Lenovo's are decent, however I'll say beware of this year's model of the Lenovo X1. I have one at work. The keyboard is really funky. The caps lock doesn't exist and instead is split into two keys home & end. The backspace key is splint into backspace and delete. Finally the ~ key is down on the right in between the right alt and right control key. It is incredibly annoying. Oh and the function keys are some weird eink style touch bar. You can switch their function easily enough but still it is really really annoying. Besides that I love the machine, though for the price point I think MacBook's are a better deal.
> So anyone who actually wants to use such security systems is screwed, then. Good thing Linux isn't about choice.

You're not screwed. If you need SMACK, IMA, or SELinux, you still have systemd. That's choice.
I think it's a great entry point. HTML/CSS is a very low entry bar to be introduced on how to talk to a computer. Of course it's not "programming" and very little logic, but it can show people one very important thing:

"See look, it's not so hard to talk to a computer. Those words on TV aren't all gibberish."

It's not like it teaches bad practices like a number of other "entry level" languages do. I'm sure the majority of people in my generation (late 20's, early 30's) started with HTML/CSS when they were kids.
Your first link says that it's mostly overpriviliges white men with a lot of spare time that have Github accounts or commit to OSS in their spare time.

The bottom of the article states: "Your donation helps me continue to write, speak at conferences on these subjects, and create more projects which further the cause of diversity in tech."

The article author is a biased, professional SJW. Of course nobody else other than fat, white, Christian, worthless male scum have time for any OSS projects in their free time: THEY'RE PRIVILIGED. And not only that, github has a checkbox when registering that asks you for your gender. If you tick "female" then you're not allowed to register and are therefore physically incapable of committing anything.

But a lot of those other countries are fundamentally different (or at least they are on paper... specifically old constitution paper) than the US.

When the US does it, it's hypocrisy (because of written law, and what we supposedly stand for), when the other countries do it it's not questioned because their citizens don't have the same protection by a long shot.

So while contradictory, I think (partially) that it IS a US-gov issue -- other countries it's a non-starter because they don't have the same rights (or claim the same things).

Its extremely common around the later stages (D and up)

Logic is this : At that stage of a business, you want founders who are looking for a IPO or billion dollar business. If that founder still has a mortgage on his house, he is going to indirectly steer the company in more 'safe' ways to ensure his nestegg retains value. If you just give that founder a few million, hes no longer motivated by that initial cash payment and only has the moon to shoot for now.
I use a Sager gaming laptop. At the time, it was fully tricked out with an i7, 16 GB, 1.5 GB mobile NVidia. I hate the keyboard, but it was only $1800. I've had a few years now. Aside from being a hulk with poor battery life and a crummy keyboard, it is a great portable desktop. I'm using it now. I put my split-keyboard over the laptop keyboard easily. It also helps with ergonomics. Since the trackpad is covered, I use my external mouse that I've used at clients for years.

One the whole, it's a powerful workhorse (I bought it when I was using Scala and SBT). It is also $600 dollars cheaper than my similarly spec'ed new MBP. I would buy again when I need to upgrade this box.
