After reading the same comment 3x and it's fucking wrong, it gets old.
They aren't being weasels. Everyone in Hollywood already knows there isn't any net. It's rare to get gross -- generally the only time that happens is when the star power is such that it would make a significant difference in the box office. Bradley Cooper gets net, no name writer from Pfugerville gets net, if any points at all.
In which case, why bother with user passwords at all?
I believe if it went through any of Rust's planned custom allocator system (i.e. worked through `box`) it would still not work, though.

You could certainly rewrite exactly the same system from C, of course (though as I noted elsewhere, it seems less likely that OpenSSL would want to replace jemalloc than the often-slow system allocator), but I think it would be quite difficult to write a safe implementation that worked with Rust's borrow checker. The closest thing to a custom allocator that works in Rust right now is an arena with a free list, which requires you to explicitly initialize any newly allocated elements. As another commentor noted, you would really have to go quite far out of your way to reproduce the issue.

> Google Docs and Etherpad would fail to meet your definition of a page/document.

Indeed. They don't feel like pages or documents (indeed google docs is explicitly an editor and has an export step to produce a webpage), and I would not want a wiki (or wiki-like project) to be maintained in them. They serve a different niche.

> Right now we see a declining rate of collaboration on Wikipedia

For well-know reasons of deletionism and unnecessary barriers to new editors (see http://www.gwern.net/In%20Defense%20Of%20Inclusionism ). The way to fix wikipedia isn't to keep changing things, it's to go back to the policies that worked in wikipedia's golden age.
Mostly because the order of operations is unclear. I read it as producing "HelloHelloHello, ". That is, repeat the previous thing three times and then concatenate that with the string ", ". It's surprising to me that "repeat" results in a new object with new semantics.

CodeWeavers in St Paul, MN

https://www.codeweavers.com/about/general/jobs/

You might recognize CodeWeavers as the main force behind the Wine project. We're a small company, fewer than 20 people in our main office.

We're looking for a quality C programmer to do Linux systems programming work. Specifically stuff like mail servers (Dovecot, Postfix), display technologies (X server, SPICE), and just general open source systems programming.

It's a very fun workplace. I've been employed here more than five years and I can't imagine a better work environment. Link above contains the full job listing at a Linked-In jobs page, and an email address if you prefer that contact method.
No, it's just Broadcom and the Raspberry Pi engineering team that made the product happen. At the point we knew Pi 2 would be happening, the conversation with MS started and they started work porting Windows to it - with a little help from our engineers.

With this app we really want to work on social connections and the connections with people from apps we have in common. If we ever do a 'Top' chart, you will only see the top of your community and not the top from the entire Jungl crowd.

For example, at the moment we have 300 account created, each accounts have listed their favorite apps. I'm personally connected to 15 users with the most apps in common with me. My 'Top' chart would be different than yours as long as our favorite apps selections are different.

We are working to make a very personalized and living catalog of the latest cool apps.

I see your point with the naming choice.

First, I was not answering to your "mid 90s" comment. I was referring to that one:

> The cracking scene, demoscene and games industry was almost exclusively built on Windows.

Which is blatantly false. Where do you think Team 17 come from ? A number of their members were recruited on the Amiga demo scene, and that was well before PC gaming was a thing.

And huh, the game industry existed way before PC Gaming. In 1985 the Amiga and the Atari could display animations on screens with 16 to 32 colors in relatively high resolutions, while PCs were stuck in monochrome (just like the first Apple). And oh yeah we had games. Tons of them. Are you trying to rewrite History ?

No idea why they would snub Orberg. It's not like what they are doing is totally unique. Terentius Tunberg runs the Conventiculum Latinum, "an annual summer immersion workshop in spoken Latin held on the campus of the University of Kentucky" [1]. Not in Rome, but still full immersion.

Nicely played. I'm a bit surprised at the amount of people in this thread equating Windows 10 for RPi with a desktop environment, though -- I'd be _very_ surprised if it had a desktop environment at all, considering that they're targeting it as an embedded system.

You _might_ have graphics, but not a DE.

Edited to add: based on this video, http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-511, this will probably be considered as a "micro" system without any UI.

The article says the government "convinced" banks and other companies to cancel the debts, but the lenders will not be compensated. It's left as an exercise to imagine how the lenders were convinced.

I have to wonder the same about the US banking system about 8 years ago: the aforementioned subprime problem apparently led to top bankers literally being brought into a room and told in no uncertain terms they would agree to the planned solution to the problem; what was actually said remains unknown and rather...intriguing.
Lots of work/school computer has a password locked BIOS which prevents you from booting from anything else. If they also have a physical lock on the computer, or if it's a laptop that you can't open or doesn't have a bios reset functionality, or you're worried about getting caught opening the computer, you're effectively locked out.

This exploit does actually open possibilities where there were few/none before. Also I imagine it's easier for some people to execute.

Oh the website hurts my eye :-(
Jokes aside, I'm curious as to whether this can be overclocked to any extent, like its predecessor.
Sure. I don't refute that Microsoft is, simplified, evil. That doesn't change the fact that people with positions in the Linux community don't really care about those things. I don't really see any move of note toward that either.

Even when Apple practically gave the Linux distributions an opportunity with the neglect of the Mac Pro. Here you had people who didn't like Windows, disgruntled with Apple, liked unix, wanted a powerful operating system and was overpaying for hardware.

OpenGL isn't that much harder on Linux than on Windows, so where the push for great OpenGL developer tools on Linux? Google and Mozilla gets a lot of credit for supporting open source, so why are there no decent bindings from their respective new languages to their respective 2d libraries (Go/Skia, Rust/Mozilla2d)?

There's kind of a macho attitude in open source that things should be hard. If you can't or don't want to fix it yourself it your own fault. It's great for the people that are happy with that and are invested in it, not so much for the rest of us.
But why is MS any better or different than Google?
Should your startup get international clients?
Its not comparable scale. WhatsApp are shifting messages from point A to point B and that's it. Even 100x less servers is still a LOT of servers just or that. They don't store data, just traffic it from one user to another.
Unless he runs out of dog groomers to front his shell companies, I don't see it solving anything.

But I don't see why he can't be criminally prosecuted, at this point jailing him seems to be the only way to stop him.

"If getting a desired product of work requires collaboration, then people will collaborate."

This is one of the main points of contention between the various parties, and defining whether or not something needs collaboration is often ignored.

The entire project might need degrees of input from multiple parties, but often what's needed is for one person to actually get something done, the invite collaboration/feedback/input. Forcing people to work together at every single step to get "collaboration" is simply wrong, but it's one of the justifications for "everyone in the same room."
This is a specific issue to be solved with standard REST techniques. Do you know if the team is working on it? Maybe it's on a timeline, scheduled to be implemented next month? I haven't looked into it, but the current lack of this functionality does not mean that the "new wiki is doomed by design."
Just recently I rewatched the first 3 Jurassic Park movies and found they aged really well. You never have the feeling that there's to much CGI because they striked an awesome balance between CGI, animatronics and sceneography (especially the first movie, but the other two are still above average imho). On the other hand, many of my friends agree that The Hobbit already looked bad when it came out.

The only weird thing about Jurassic Park 2 was the overuse of the T-Rex head. But the rest never feels "Hollywoodky".

Seeing the changes and the trailer, I have little hope for Jurassic World to be a movie where you can immerse deeply and forget that you're watching a movie.
Is it not more productive for teachers to teach something they know? If a kid has a question about Linux and the teacher doesn't know Linux, they won't be able to answer the question. Likewise if a kid has a question about Windows and the teacher doesn't know Windows, they can't answer it.

It doesn't matter what system it is, teachers are best at teaching what they already know.

DESCRIPTION
Strap is looking for a Lead Mobile Developer to join our growing team in Cincinnati, Ohio’s historic Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. The mobile developer has 5+ years of experience with native and hybrid development on both Android and iOS. You will be responsible for successful execution of all of the developer facing Strap SDKs for both mobile and wearable platforms. Day-to-day, you will work closely with the CTO to ensure that your team is on track to meet the goals of the sprint. A high degree of comfort with both Java and Objective-C is required. The expectation is that you are the resident expert in all things mobile related. Experience with one or more wearable platforms (Android Wear, Google Glass, Pebble, Tizen) is strongly preferred. Ideally, you've built and documented API's and shipped products that are built for developers.
At Strap, we follow a fairly rigorous agile development process. You are expected to communicate your progress “stand-up” style daily while maintaining your work in feature branches with frequent commits. The goal is not to add meaningless processes to your plate; rather, we believe that communication and transparency are two extremely important factors in a successful development team.
All developers are expected to also be evangelists for Strap, so you’ll spend 10-15% of your week (NTE 6 hours) being extroverted in some form. Examples include blogging, spending time on Stack Overflow answering questions, or contributing to open source projects. These activities may or may not be directly related to content marketing, but being in the community as a representative of Strap helps our street cred tremendously.
You may be asked to travel periodically for conferences, hackathons, or other professional engagements. Travel is not expected to exceed 10% annually.

SKILLS
Community Evangelism, Android, iOS Development, Developer Tools, Google Glass, Tizen, SDK, Pebble, Android Wear

Seems like there are couple things going on here. Accusation that asynchronous implementations in all languages are problematic, with which I don't think anyone would disagree. Suggestion that threads are way better than other asynchronous implementations. I don't agree that makes things better or somehow different. You still have disjointed code. I would add this as a third to Fowler's famous quote about two hard things (cache invalidation and naming things).
BIOS password lock, and physical lock on computer and/or an environment where it is hard to open the computer without being detected (work/school) makes other options hard.

This exploit you could even pull off on a school lab computer while the teacher is in the room. If he comes over while you're working, inconspicuously power off the machine.

This is the de facto standard for local lost-admin-password resets since Windows NT was released, although back in the day the trick was to change the login screen saver to the command interpreter. The imgur album is a nice touch, I guess, but if you do a web search for "windows lost admin password" (or similar), you'll get some variation on these instructions.
