To me, the biggest feature that Photoshop has that others don't is their type support, especially with kerning. I can accomplish most of what I want with other tools until I need to tweak the kerning of a word. Most tools require you to select pixels and move it over and don't support in-place editing.
Dart is Dead
This article is specifically referring to people who were brought to the United States as children.

Having grown up in the US, they are often culturally American and often speak English with an American accent. (In fact, we've deported so many people who grew up in the US, that there's now a call center industry in Mexico that specializes in hiring people with American accents).

It strikes me as incredibly wasteful for the United States to educate a person through the age of 18, only to then deport them or prevent them from continuing their education or working.
US and UK Set to Increase Cyber Security Cooperation via “Cyber War Games”
I realize that there are several ardent supporters of this guy here, so I won't respond to any more of these taunting comments. I actually don't believe he should be facing the kind of time that he is for this, but I think he has no chance of acquittal. Whatever your opinion of SR, Ross Ulbricht was sloppy and stupid, and that's why he is sitting in a jail cell right now and will likely remain so for the rest of his life.

As for betting with you over the internet, that is a violation of the Interstate Wire Act, and I have no intention of being cellmates with Ross Ulbricht. But, for example, if this bet were offered in a legal sportsbook in Nevada, I would easily put up $10K to win $100 (for a 99% certainty - trying to win $1 is a bit of a fruitless exercise). I believe that I would have a positive edge on that bet.
What other uses are you suggesting? The OS is optimized for firewall and security. Not for desktop or anything like that. It lacks both hardware and software in almost every respect for anything more.

Sure, I would be very happy to use it as my desktop. Even donated for them. But it needs more time to adopt more tools at the very least for broader adoption.
Nice article. Something it doesn't point out, which can become one of the elements in the cycle of name/blame/shame, is the creation of 'heroes'. This is the figure who throws themselves at the issue and brings it back from the brink of disaster. If the culture isn't fixed and failure easy to talk about, then this can play out repeatedly. Since it's usually a celebrated event ('we survived!'), it creates poor incentives for fixing the culture. One can also play this game by noticing a potential failure mode, figuring out how to fix it, but only leaping in once it's struck. I'd rather find another employer though.
Is this actually from the EFF or is the EFF Action Center a change.org-style site where anyone can submit petitions?

I ask only because the text of the letter isn't particularly well written and contains some glaring mistakes: "Wrap every app in the Apple store with unnecessary DRM" (emphasis mine).

Apple isn't the government, and no one is compelled to enter into a contract with them. The EFF's reason for removing their Action Center app from the App Store are outlined in this petition, which is ironic considering the app itself is a web app made native with the Ionic framework[2]. Nothing in Apple's terms prevents the EFF from releasing the app on the web (nor do they have to agree to any of Apple's terms to release a web app).

The thesis here is in fact that we should not secure DNS in any way, just like we don't secure raw IP and won't for the foreseeable future secure BGP4. We instead do what we've done for 20+ years: assume the network is untrustworthy (because it is, with or without DNSSEC) and build security on top.

That's true, but that's much more the consequence of the legal status of most drugs and the "drug war" policies. I would argue that online marketplaces are solving this problem, not making it worse.
"The right to free speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say."

It doesn't mean anyone else has to tolerate what you say. It doesn't mean a contract between private parties (i.e. not a contract with a gov't entity) can't dictate the things you may or may not discuss about the parties or the agreement itself.

In other words: "free speech" has nothing to do with anything except whether the government can arrest you for running your yap. Which further means a corporate software development license agreement can stipulate anything it wants.

And you are free not to accept that agreement and not partake of the benefits the agreement bestows.
Yes! I think any good statistician would agree with all of that and emphasize the importance of how you present your conclusions. Forming "data-dependent hypotheses" is part of what most statistician's call "exploratory data analysis" (EDA). When presenting EDA findings, we should use terms like "association", "relationship", "correlation", "possible", and not words like "cause", "effect", "p-value", "test", etc.
We got those in addition to those. E.g. Calvin and Hobbes had a monthly magazine in Norway until a decade after Watterson stopped drawing (publishing reruns after they'd run dry of original material) alongside guest series. On top of that comes the collected editions.

Some US newspaper strip artists end up earning more from Scandinavia (aggregate potential market of about 25 million) than the US because of this.

Except they didn't follow my advice because I or someone else thought it would be cool, it bedmates of the market. People just weren't buying enough comics do they had to target a niche more and more. You say there is some kind of hidden audience that would buy comics if they just stopped portraying female characters the same way they portrayed spiderman? In sure there are some people that feel that way, but I don't there would be enough of those to support the industry, because, again, the internet and other mediums are just wrecking their business.

Also, what other countries really have a healthier comic industry than the US of you exclude manga and manhwa? Not to mention that a huge portion of manga actually is the same as US comics. There are just a bunch of others as well. Not to mention that in Japan you have to tie in the merchandise, light novel, and anime industries to manga as well. There are no popular equivalents for some of those in the US.

Google is "Nexus customer support", they just don't particularly care about doing that job. Google drops support for their own developer phones faster than Samsung and HTC do.

E: To address the initial downvoters: why don't you explain yourselves. How is Google not responsible for supporting nexus devices? They're sold directly by Google, they're produced for Google, and they're heavily marketed by Google. Google provides the software and hardware support directly after purchase and handles RMAs directly. Google depreciates Nexus device support in <18months. Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus were all dropped about a year after release, significant performance problems were never addressed. N7(2012) was dropped early last year from official maintenance and the absolute shit NAND quality was never addressed. Google has a history of not caring about proper support for their Nexus devices.

HTC has released lollipop upgrades for devices that are >2 years old. Samsung has also released lollipop upgrades for devices >2 years old.
I think support for Ruby 1.8.7 has ended, so it is very unlikely you will see anything like this written for that version of Ruby. You should seriously consider migrating from that version.

Having said that - As one of the authors of Rbkit - it does not even work on 1.9.x - because instrumentation support we require from Ruby isn't simply there.
There are national labs. Canadian one sold Ebola vaccine license for $200K to some no name US lab, that same lab turned around and resold it to Merck for $50mil. Merck bought it only because it is standing to make few billion off of it.
You know, that is a valid option. When iPhone 4's telephone broke because of the "grip of death" antenna issue, Steve Jobs himself came out, apologized, offered a free bumper case to mitigate the issue. Compare that to this.

And the telco of Nexus is Google! Google just pointed to contact Google.

I'm from the UK and loved my occasional childhood holidays in France or Portugal for a chance to buy Lucky Luke and Pink Panther comics. For some reason Asterix and Tintin were popular in the UK but other Franco-Belgian comics didn't take off. There were a few 70s prints of Lucky Luke and I have one translated 1970s Iznogoud but they went out of print quickly until Cinebook [0] started selling new translations about a decade ago, and the characters are much less well-known here than on the continent.

I think Gaston is still unavailable in English - I'm not such a fan of Spirou and Fantasio but I recently bought Cinebook's "The Marsupliami Thieves" as it was the only Franquin book available in English, sadly.

By the way, a recent HN thread on internationalization mentioned how few really well localized film translations there are and gave Shrek and Frozen as examples of good ones. The English translations of Asterix were brilliant and full of English-specific puns, presumably replacing original French puns (I have read some of them in French but my French is not really good enough for wordplay).

(edit: Although obviously the UK has its own tradition of kids-including-girls-friendly comics: Beano, Dandy, and many others. And for a modern equivalent I like the Phoenix comic [1]. But comic book shops here are mostly also very full of superhero comics and adult manga and not young-girl-friendly.)

Of course there are multiple rationales for choosing a platform, but support is certainly one of them.

A while ago someone made a nice graph of how good Apple/Google are at maintaining OS support for their devices, it's pretty informative (although I'd like to see a new one). http://www.fidlee.com/android-support-vs-ios-support/

In this case the Nexus 4 is still officially supported by 5.0... but not being able to call on a phone seems like unsupported to me.

As yummyfajitas said, this is just an example of how the actual issue manifests, but here's what that sentence means:

Democrats and Republicans have their own biases. These biases may be skew their thought processes and make them perform differently in mathematics tests which are worded differently. For example, a Republican may (unconciously) overshoot the numbers for a question about healthcare costs, or a Democrat for a question about military expenditure. Although this shouldn't happen, since mathematics tests are quite rigorously worded, it might, and a researcher is interested in investigating further.
Did you not see the question mark? It was unclear if you agreed with the OP that keeps his kids indoors.
"In other words, they do this work because they like to do it, and/or for idealistic reasons." I'd like to see a study on this. In my experience, this is not the case.

My peers and I, while in college, did this work because one day it would pay off. If we'd been told that our pay would always be meager, and still continued to do the work, perhaps one could attribute it to idealism or simply liking the work. Most likely, however, we'd have relegated the work we liked to hobby status while we pursued something that would pay better.

Also, because the termini proposed are not particularly close to the urban centers it is supposed to connect, avoiding the expense of connecting from where people actually are to where people are actually likely to want to go.

Of course, that also limits its utility for its intended purpose.
This has been relatively common knowledge for a few years, at least, and the science behind it is very sound and also makes a lot of evolutionary sense. Fasting has an incredibly good impact on our metabolisms and our overall health, especially for those who are suffering from diabetes.

The direct link to the study:

http://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/abstract/S1550-4131%2814...

Has a really good graphic on the impacts. One of the critical things to note here is that the allotment of food to the restricted group and the unrestricted group was the same. Fasting detractors commonly try and create an association between fasting and reduced caloric load, which can be the case, but this study shows that fasting has a different mechanism for weight loss.
I've used both apache and their new httpd to serve up perl, php and html. I've had no issues with mysql. I like their nice, simple named service as well.

Really, anything I've used Linux for on servers I've been able to replicate on OpenBSD... I don't feel like everything is automatically more secure just because I'm using OpenBSD but it's simplicity with regards to package management and system configuration does help me understand just about everything running on the system which, IMHO, does lead to better security.

> I'm disappointed EFF would make such a lame list of complaints, while having locks on their doors.

What are you talking about. Seriously nothing in your post makes sense.
Truth be told Flash is a great, I mean GREAT, platform and HTML is making strides to be more like it. It does/did everything that HTML5+ wants to do in a contained executable -- any new HTML/JS/CSS feature is already doable with Flash. Flash isn't without its warts, but that's not the point, but if you were to take a step back and evaluate it without bias, you'd be impressed with what Macromedia/Adobe did with that runtime.

Anyway, I like the idea behind this library. I like that you can compose the animation keyframes the way it does. Any suggestions that I'd make to "improve" it would probably bloat it up -- classname selectors, css-based animations/transitions. What I like most about this lib is how it does what it does in such a small package.
In the link #440 reports that disabling "NuPlayer" fixed the issue. This setting is in Settings > Developer options under "Media".

I've also found that NuPlayer plays unpredictable havoc with an audio playing app I wrote that is currently on Google Play. Some users on Lollipop report audio glitches, silence or weird bluetooth issues. Disabling NuPlayer fixes these issues. I wish there was a way for me, as a developer, to force use of the old AwesomePlayer system for my app in particular, but have no idea if this is possible technically. I certainly haven't found a way to do it.

But what I find surprising is that NuPlayer is labelled "experimental" in Developer options but is enabled by default. Isn't that a bit weird?
The Nexus line really saved Android -- it was always the excuse (the best word I can think of) when other devices had update, performance, or security issues. "Well it isn't Android, it's Samsung/HTC/Motorola/Sony/etc, because my Nexus...". It was a critical line.

Google may have killed the Nexus line by making the 9 and 6 so uncompelling, but I doubt it was intentional. They're just a company that has a chronic difficulty prioritizing customer service. Further I don't really think it's "high expectations" to demand that voice functionality works (again, this stuff gets you in serious trouble with regulators. If this were raised to the FTC and/or CRTC, you can bet Google would find a fix extremely quickly).
"Visiting a campus in Australia is surrealistic. I'm so speechless to describe the difference in living conditions that, when I want people to imagine the life in Sydney, I tell them to imagine banknotes falling from the sky. That's what the living conditions feel like compared to the old continent."

I had the same reaction when visiting US campuses like Stanford and Duke, that looked like resorts compared to the universities I attended in Europe.

On the other hand, I was able to get a perfectly serviceable degree at about 1/10 of the cost...
Im not much surprised. A lot of people told that things like this will happen.
Consider that your impression of comics is coloured by apparently (based on your description) mostly having been shown a single, very limited segment (US-style superhero segments).

Comics are no more limited to that, than TV are limited to daytime soap operas.

The value isn't in trying to get girls to read US-style male-focused superhero stories, but in pointing out that the current comics most widely distributed in the US represents a tiny fraction of what is available.

Imagine what TV would be like if all that was on was daytime soap operas. That's the US comic market. If your TV was like that, would it not be nice to get a wider selection?

My point wasn't that more money itself induces potential slowness, but added infrastructure & scope that surround it (not necessarily even in the same department) often can.

Ignoring more money is pretty unlikely to be an option as a whole, and inefficiencies generally cascade down to some extent.
I believe the point of the comment you are replying to you is to say that ideally, that shouldn't matter and people should simply pay attention to the message... especially when it's something as important as people dying. As you note, however, that's not the case. People's precious feelings are sensitive and must be approached with tact.
