The decline of the PC as a platform are greatly exaggerated. The only thing that happens is that upgrade cycles have gotten longer because PCs in use are good enough, the operating systems are good enough as well, so people don't feel the need to buy new ones every one or two years. I've got a 4-year old laptop. I only had to replace its battery, still works fine. Meanwhile I've got an iPad and an Android tablet (received as a gift) and both are gathering dust. What do you know, tablets are declining - too big to fit in your pocket, too small to do anything productive.

If anything, Microsoft was hurt to get on this bandwagon in the first place. I guess they had to, too bad that they followed the Windows/iOS model, instead of following the Android one. If they would have released Windows Phone as an open-source platform, maybe they would've had a chance.

But I digress - there's a lot of opportunity to improve desktop operating systems. Too bad that Microsoft decided to release a desktop / tablet hybrid. What a dumb idea that was.

> For Microsoft, it's less bad if everyone switches to an uncontrolled platform than if they switch to a platform locked in by a competitor.

Exactly, these companies want openness only as long as they are the underdogs. Check out what happens with Google - broken IMAP in Gmail, broken CalDav in Calendar, dropped Exchange support, dropped XMMP support in Hangouts, PNaCL as their own version of ActiveX, Drive still does not have a Linux client, etc...

> [Apple has] done fairly well at killing off Flash, and Silverlight never stood a chance in this environment

Well, I'm actually glad that they did that, because it encouraged open standards to emerge. It would have never happened if Flash survived the mobile world. No, my pet peeve with Apple is that their App Store policy prevents Firefox from happening on iOS. And that's not what I consider a platform I can build on or an operating system I can use.

I don't think they are acknowledging any impedance mismatch there. The point of that paragraph is to emphasize that Haskell retains the usual feel of imperative programming, with the important difference that the imperative bits of your code are cleanly separated from the pure bits due to the IO type.

There's no theoretical stuff here, it's just making sure that the caller knows about callees having side effects.

Ten years ago? Not sure. I know fifteen years ago I was making video calls over my GSM phone, chatting with people via SMS, AIM, and ICQ, etc. Literally nothing in this post is in any way amazing to anyone who actually remembers life ten years ago. We had smartphones. We had social media. We had web forums. Just because you've dumped money into some of them doesn't make them special or even interesting from a technology standpoint.

I, too, support SpaceX (as well as Orbital Sciences, Virgin Galactic, etc) but pretending that reddit is even anywhere near that list as far as being "unimaginably fantastic" is either depressingly credulous or else clumsy false optimism.

Specifically in computing, the past ten or fifteen years have been a war on general-purpose computing; all the brands names he's slinging around amount to a celebration of the black-boxing of internet services. Ten years ago I could do all this stuff without needing a quad-core 2GHz phone to run a full-featured HTML5/CSS/JS browser platform.

More generally, in cars, computers, and most other sectors in technology, things are getting less and less accessible to casual interest or even moderately-dedicated hobbyists. Sometimes it's in the name of efficiency, sometimes it's in the name of corporate control, but with the exception of the Tesla, everything he talks about existed ten years ago in some form. It was just easier to learn the internals, then, when programs were programs, instead of HTTP APIs, and circuits were circuits, instead of closely-held intellectual properties. When was the last time anyone bought an appliance of any sort that had the wiring diagram pasted to the inside of the case?

Sorry Sam, things are prettier now, but there's nothing new under the sun.

We upgraded to this, only to find it activates some new encryption modes (4 new GCM suites) that seem to cause RST packets when used. Anyone else seen that issue?

(Technical details: If the client offer one of the suites, the server is accepting it in the ServerHello, but then RSTing the connection after the client sends their encrypted handshake, and the event log says "none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server". Browser and curl don't use that suite, but Amazon ELB does.)

He said that it wasn't worth it because it doesn't really transform civilization. That's his point. If it's the criteria to fund something, then how his expense can be worth it too?

Why don't I donate all to NASA? Because I never said that it was worth our money more than something else that worth more than what my entertainment is worth. (Sorry if it a little hard to understands, english isn't my first language, I'm still working on it).

Also I never said that it has so much potential, I'm curious to know where you found this in my comment. What I said is barely enough to said that it can actually compete against his alternative, I was really counting on the fact that it was only representing 0.5% of the budget to make it seems worthwhile.

EDIT: Hopefully you still haven't read this comment, I found a better way to explain what I said.

He said that it wasn't worth it because it doesn't really transform civilization.

I said that it was clearly worth its 0.5% of the funding.

I also said that if it's not worth it because it doesn't really transform civilization, how could his own budget can be justified (and to avoid him answering that in a way, his job does transform civilization enough to be worth his salary, I only included expense that could be avoided without affecting too much his job).
You could have said the same thing about several of the languages you listed, even within the last 5 years. The difference here is that C# already has a massive userbase.
I'm not seeing it. I see you change "disruption" to "shifting" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thermohaline_circ...

Work teaching is generally efficient. If you're told anything at all, that is; more often you have to ask if you can't figure it out yourself. You can say "I got it, I'll take it from here" and people are happy to hear it. School teaching is generally the opposite.

My bosses always want me to figure out how the algorithm works, while fixing it!
I would have to guess latter? Monitoring all of Wikipedia would be a huge task, and most people (and therefore bot operators) only care about certain articles.
That's not guaranteed to work.

If min+max is a negative signed int, then the result of right shifting is implementation dependent.

Instead, you could do

int middle = (unsigned)(min + max) >> 1;

Still, this relies on the original indices falling in the non-negative range of signed ints.
This claim keeps coming up. Reality is that Wikipedia is mostly done. All the important article were done years ago. Now it's just maintenance. Look at incoming new articles - spam, minor politicians and sports figures, etc.

Paper encyclopedias followed the same pattern. Creating Encyclopedia Britannica was a huge job. Annual maintenance was done by a small staff.

Are you (or am I?) reading the changelog right? Your edits (while harmless, in my opinion) don't match up with your edit messages. The bot you name isn't the one that reverted you (but Cluebot does get involved later). The bot reverted two anonymous edits, so I can't truly tell if they're yours, but you yell at the bot, so I presume so.

Edit 1: anonymous IPv6 addr removes the word "also"; article makes sense with and without it. No edit message.

Edit 2: anonymous IPv4 addr changes the word "disruption" to "shifting"; article makes grammatical sense either way, unclear to me which is better. Message is "Removed the word bullshitting, which was added where shifting obviously should have been." This is the change that the message doesn't seem to match up with the content, specifically, this diff[2].

Edit 3: "Monkbot" reverts the previous two edits. Perhaps a tad strange, but the edits were strange and from IP addrs.

Edit 4: You log in, and yell at the bot[3], "Removed the word bullshitting, which was added where shifting obviously should have been. Thank you for undoing my last edit you stupid bot, I'm trying to removed page defacements NOT ADD THEM." However, this edit again doesn't match the message, and (again) changes the word "disruption" to (this time) "shiftingting" (an honest typo which you correct immediately), and also changes the minus sign on a temperature to a hypen.

Edit 5: Your spell correction.

Edit 6: Someone experimenting (anon IPv4) adds "hello".

Edit 7: Same IP changes "hello" to "booooooooty"

Edit 8: Clue Bot NG reverts _to_ your edit, undoing the previous two edits (but leaves your changes) — definitely the correct action.

I think the problem AWS is seeing is how they are being commoditized (e.g. you can just run your database on the cheapest hosting provider), so profits will move towards 0. They will need to add more services like this (Aurora, DynamoDB, etc.) to ensure AWS isn't a commodity (and you can't just easily switch to DigitalOcean).
Here's a great collection of resources (compiled by Zed Shaw) for learning about programming, software and web development:

- http://programming-motherfucker.com/become.html

You'll find resources on Zed's site that will help you learn the web development toolchain as well. You'll want a good editor, an understanding of git and version control, as well as the command line (apologies if you're acquainted with these already but looking to get into web development).

Another thing to remember is that once you grasp the basics, you can learn a lot from reading other people's code (especially libraries) and the associated documentation.

Some other resources that helped me out immensely when I was getting started (or that I wish I'd read):

A great overview of JavaScript.

- http://eloquentjavascript.net/

Once you get the basics of JS down, this book will help you learn how to organize your code better.

- http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/bo...

An overview of HTML5.

- http://fortuito.us/diveintohtml5/

While it's from 2010, most of it is probably still applicable. This was the intro to CSS that helped me grasp the box model and DOM.

I have a hard time parsing those logs, but from what I can tell you kept trying to change "disruption" to "shifting". I even went to a year-old version of the article (you said the typo had been there since 2009) and did a search on the page for "shi" and couldn't find it, but "disruption" was still there.

This is actually the greatest fumble in the history of Antitrust in my opinion.

Yes, it's become clear that a web browser should be bundled in the OS, and even as I said at the time, when I was a teenager, you need a shitty web browser to download a good one, or at least it's a big help.

What Microsoft did, and is admitted in a book, is to leverage the Windows monopoly to strengthen the Office monopoly, which had impact on every educational institution, law firm, local, state, and national legislature and locked up a ton of public domain work in a file format that only an expensive program that doesn't run on all computers can read.

Eventually that was steamrolled over by Congress demanding an open format, though interoperability is still pretty piss poor.

Of course, all of the DOJ's resources to show Microsoft who's boss were wasted on a silly fight over whether you can bundle a web browser. If you read Ben Horowitz' "The hard thing about hard things", it's not even the browser that sunk Netscape, it's IIS - their bread and butter was the server.

In light of the fact that our phones and televisions now ship with web browsers, and likely most of us are not paying for web servers, it seems clear that Netscape's business model was not going to last.

So yeah, fuck Microsoft.
Yup, it's going to be hard--lets just not bother.

I get it, you've got to update SMTP, the mail client, and likely other points (mail storage). But that's no reason not to try. Look at DKIM and SPF--we've maid steps to protect against forgeries.
Thanks for finding the plot.
Leave it to Microsoft to complicate licensing.

I've long used the compiler included with the Windows SDK for automated testing of our C API. Since the latest versions of the SDK no longer include a compiler, I'll need to use some edition of Visual C++, for which I had assumed that Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop (say that three times fast) would suffice. If Community replaces Express, I'll no longer have a freely available tool chain to deploy throughout the testing lab.

I guess I'll have to reread the terms of my MSDN subscription to see whether it's kosher for me to install Visual Studio on systems where other people are running my tests, or if they'll need subscriptions too.
Thank you! I'm working on a team that inherited some Scala code from contractors that no longer work for us and we've found that (at least their) Scala is almost as hard to read as bad Perl. Compounding this is a severe lack of good online documentation outside of the standard library reference and simple tutorials which don't go into the depths we need to know (like how do you create a Manifest from Java to call into Scala code that needs it? Or what even is a Manifest?). At least with Perl you have decades worth of online discussions and pretty good documentation of the core language.
When we built the WP7 emulator (not really an emulator because that implies cpu emulation) we chose to make it x86 based, using virtual machine tech. We could do this and get great performance because all 3rd party apps used managed CLR code and thus were processor independent.

Later the WP8 emulator was actually fully based on Hyper-v and this is too...meaning it is "just" a vm running x86 android, which explains why it's so fast.
Super!

Thankyou Microsoft.

No one is saying that Aurora is built on MySQL, I'd personally like to know :) It's the protocol (drivers) compatibility what has been claimed so far.

I'd agree with you from a technical perspective it would have been better to offer Postgres compatibility, rather than MySQL. But I believe the intent is to target both a bigger market (as of today) and challenge Oracle.

I'd think for most toy projects, running more than an EC2 instance or two is overkill. At least in my experiences, running the full stack on a single server works well enough for most hobby projects.
