> President is Executive branch of government, therefore can pass a new law just by signing it without approval of Congress.
The executive branch of government executes laws, it does not (and Constitutionally cannot) create them. Executive orders are valid to the extent that they direct actions within the executive branch within the laws binding that branch and apply only powers the President has under the Constitution and laws.

The practical distinction may vanish when the other branches do not effectively check the executive when it exceeds its Constitutional power, but that's not inherent in the President heading the Executive branch -- the same is equally true of excesses in other branches, though the unitary nature of the executive provides less of an intra-branch check on abuses by the President than exists for any actor in the legislative or judicial branches (though collective excesses, such as -- as a purely hypothetical example -- the Supreme Court intruding into Congress' Constitutional role in judging the propriety of Presidential electoral votes including the process by which they are assigned -- can still occur and be problematic if left unchecked by the other branches.)

I used to have money. When I got divorced I decided I would let my wife have it all. It was mostly hers to begin with, so it wasn't some great act of generosity. She walked away with somewhere around $2MM in liquidity. I walked away with about $10,000.

It's really made very little difference. Money makes some things easier, but I wouldn't associate that with happy. They are two separate things. There was a time when I thought money would make me happy, and I think there was a time where maybe it did, but there was a realization that my "happiness" wasn't my own. I don't even know if that makes sense to anyone but me, but that's the only way I can articulate it. I was happy because I thought I should be happy with all the stuff and "freedom", but at the end of the day I didn't really care about those things.

Now I'm in this place, this awkward state, where money can't buy any of the things I want. It's a confusing place to be because the world doesn't really operate that way. I wish money made me happy. That would make everything much easier.

As a side note, I really hate article titles that use this kind of wildly inaccurate accusation. The nation of China did not breach the U.S. Postal Service, a Chinese government team did. Still inaccurate and vague, but there's a world of difference between the United States launching a drone strike and the CIA, an agent of the US, launching a drone strike.

Edit: I've read more than enough articles where the agent or actor is NOT a member of the government, yet still referred to as "China" or "America". However, even in situations where it is a member of the government or of a company, I still think the connotations conveyed by imprecisely labeling the actors totally throw off expectations and perceptions.

That's the point - I did not need any database systems whatsoever for nearly everything I ever done. Besides hierarchical DBMSes for CADs - but that's a totally different story, that's another area where RDBMSes fail miserably. There is no use for RDMBSes outside of the CRUD niche (which includes web, enterprise applications, and that's pretty much it).

I can't see any use for RDMBSes in the embedded world. No use for them in most of the data analysis tasks - stream storage works much better here. No RDBMSes in the system level (OSes, compilers, linkers, etc.). No RDBMSes in the scientific computing.

What's your view on listing multiple positions in the same company?

I've joined a company as a "Software Developer" during my final year in university. When I graduated I got promoted to "Senior Software Developer" but I left a month later to move halfway across the world (my employer knew I'll be leaving soon but chose to promote me anyway). How should I present this on my CV?

I feel like categorising the whole year as "Senior Developer" is bending the truth but splitting it into two takes too much space. Plus my responsibilities didn't really change, only my title did.

Although Nazi Germany did co-operate with various (for want of a better term) brown people, Hitler and the rest of the Nazis certainly held racist attitudes towards them. It would be misleading to suggest that the Nazis were "only" racists with regard to Jews.

@defied is basing his promotion of his/her product on an email from a hacker. BrowserStack hasn't yet explained what happened exactly. That means that he/she believes the email from the attacker? This is just wrong. He/she is trying to use an event he/she might know nothing about.

Even huge companies like Google get hacked. So saying that you can do better just because someone got hacked is just ridiculous. It's about how the hack was handled and what information was disclosed that matters IMO. From what BrowserStack says, it seems like only a few emails addresses were disclosed. I'm not saying that this is bad. But this could have happened to any other company. Everything in the fake email is probably bull---- (has anyone tried to find out if anything in it was true?).
"So how would a 14 year old wanting to play games"

In the real world my son pulls out his school issued ipad and starts playing games. Sometimes his friend comes over and he complains he can't connect to "my" wifi until I whitelist his MAC, whatever, and then they play minecraft on their ipads. Quite often they play games on the xbox connected to the living room TV because its a big enough screen to be shared. He has access to a desktop and hasn't really used it since gaining access to an ipad.

As for myself I go thru phases of dwarf fortress and heavily modded minecraft on my desktop and I just kicked a severe "pixel dungeon" habit on my phone.

My SiL still plays that farming game on facebook, or some modern clone or whatever.

The only thing worse than letting the "gamers" take over linux would be letting the "desktop" people take over linux, whoops looks like we did. Well, there's always freebsd for me.
Since you have 20 users, you should be able to sell your social network for 10 cents, maybe as much as 50 cents.

> Is this the same President Obama that put Tom Wheeler in charge of the FCC? In case it isn't obvious (and since no-one else has mentioned it yet, I guess it's not), Tom Wheeler was a huge lobbyist for the very people who are trying to end net neutrality.

Tom Wheeler has been one of the three members of the FCC supporting regulations promoting net neutrality. Yes, Tom Wheeler was the leader of a cable industry lobbying organization in the past.

> I don't get calling for X then performing actions that negate X.

I don't think the companies -- including cable companies -- that keep suing the FCC over Wheeler's pro-neutrality efforts would agree that appointing Tom Wheeler has been a way to negate net neutrality. I agree that his past work for them might have been a valid reason to be mildly skeptical of whether he would be a supporter of neutrality when the appointment was made (but given the distance between that role and both the appointment and any connection the cable industry had to the internet, only mild skepticism.) I don't think it makes any sense, though, to treat him as an enemy of neutrality on the basis of that when he has an actual record, at the FCC, of promoting regulations moving the status quo toward neutrality.
I am amazed that you have taken the time to reply and explain! Thanks.
> What tools do you need?

Safari 8 introduced "breakpoint actions" similar to Xcode's: when a breakpoint is set, it can be configured to not actually break (keep running even if the breakpoint condition matches) and if it matches:

* log a message

* play a sound

* execute code

* run a probe

Each action type can be used any number of time on the same breakpoint.

It's not the most stable and almost undocumented — the only documentation I've found is the second half of WWDC'14 Session 512 "Web Inspector and Modern JavaScript" (starting ~37mn in) — but it's a great system, one I've been waiting for for a long time, and one I'd like to see more of. Especially with all the other features in e.g. the Xcode version: Xcode can ignore the first n hits of a breakpoint and can capture an OpenGL ES frame. In a browser, the breakpoint could allow capturing the DOM state, the renderstate or a WebGL frame.
Great idea. One small comment: Some of the text needs some work, e.g. for the free lesson on prototype two of the required materials are listed as "A4 paper" (would a letter-sized paper not do, is the specific size important? Better say "a sheet of paper that's larger than ...") and "some pencils" (some sounds strange here because pencil is a count noun).

Other than those, when I clicked on the next arrow on the first screen I was presented with a screen with problems (Chrome 38.0 on Mavericks): the text "2/20" was sitting on top of the instruction text and the window displayed nothing. Why not detect the user device and put a help message indicating that the site has to be used on a mobile device? When you say "You'll only need an iOS or Android device" in the course description I thought (mistakenly) that these will be required in addition to my laptop.

> or to see what's Obama's angle in this

My guess: He's bringing this up to drive a wedge between tech donors (pro-neutrality) and Republicans (anti-neutrality) in 2016.

This already seems to be working, with Ted Cruz calling Net Neutrality the "Obamacare of the Internet". Cruz knows he doesn't need tech sector money to get re-elected or to run in 2016.

The fear, I feel, is in making Linux follow Windows's user experience, rather than doing its own thing. Meaning, any call for "make it more user-friendly" is heard like "give me windows". It might make sense to rally behind Ubuntu as a user-friendly distro and push that, only mentioning Linux the way "MacOS X is built on Darwin".

Another big problem is packaging for third-party software. Personally I would love to see a system where software isn't distributed as final binaries, but pre-built object files, together with a few very light shim source-files that then get built and linked on my machine, and rebuilt and relinked when the libs they depend on get updated.

> The President is the Commander in Chief of the military. He exercises complete authority over them.

No, he doesn't. The Congress has quite expansive (nearly plenary) power over the military (and to a lesser extent, the militia) expressly in the Constitution. The one limit on that power in the Constitution is that the Congress can't adopt a law giving the supreme command of the military (or the militia, when called into federal service) under the rules they adopt to anyone but the President -- that's what the designation of the President as Commander-in-Chief means.
> An honest appraisal of each option is needed for users, up-front during the installation process. They must not go in search of it

The better solution is there should never be a need to search for it. AMD already knows their Mesa driver is all around a better user experience than Catalyst, and are making steps to depreciate work done on the Catalyst side by using a free kernel driver. Hopefully soon they will depreciate it entirely and dedicate all their Linux developers to making Gallium great.

Because Gallium is not just about playing games anymore. It is the basis for every other free software graphics driver besides Intels. It has the potential to revolutionize not just the Linux ecosystem but all operating systems by providing a well architected way to support dozens of GPUs with one system API and one driver model. It has a state tracker model that lets you run OpenGL, DirectX, OpenMAX, EGL, GLES, etc all on top of one driver implementation.

And Nvidia should get in on that, but those who hold the reins over there (business suits) are incompetent twat assholes who don't want to play ball with free software and damn all of us for it, and cripple the industry and any momentum they have because nonsense like "SteamOS only works on Nvidia cards".

OpenGL 4.2 will land soon™. A lot of stuff up through 4.5 after that is already done. Once they catch up on OpenGL, hopefully they can fix the performance.

I did not mean "any rvalue-reference" and bind to "any l- or rvalue", but that you can have an "int &&", "int& &&", "const int& &&", and even "int&& &&". I updated my comment to say "can be made from" instead "can bind to".

Your code example does not work because you call "foo" instead of "bar". But consider this one:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template<class T> T bar(T&& i){ return std::forward<T>(i); }

int main() {

int i=0;

cout << bar<int&&>(6) << endl;

return 0;

}

> fragmentation for example

Steam on Linux is only sanctioned to work on Ubuntu. There is no fragmentation in Steam on Linux. Any other OS that is distributing Steam is doing so at their own risk.

> It would run som form of modified Linux kernel or other free OS, but it wouldn't be "desktop Linux" with X11, kde/gnome etc.

Well, one, you need some kind of display server. Android, Windows, and even the consoles have one. Wayland is replacing X11 because its a slow bloated piece of shit, but even then if you wanted a "gaming OS" you would end up using Linux kernel + drivers + Wayland + EGL instead.

And that is fine, its a full software stack with nothing else tacked on.

And I honestly have no idea why Valve includes Gnome on the release images of SteamOS. Nothing stops you from having X just run Steam directly, with no other programs or desktops or anything. You can already do that yourself.
