Looks like they removed autobinding. When I first saw React, I thought about new JS developers maybe being led astray by React's magic handling of "this" scope. So I'm glad they removed the magic. But, doesn't this break backwards compatibility? Or does "createClass" keep autobinding while the new class model loses it?
There is a movement (it's currently trending on Facebook - so there are plenty articles to read there) that is trying to force Google to remove the offending data. The problem is, to anyone's knowledge, there hasn't been a single case of "officer assault" linked to Waze data.

It does sound silly, as cops are not hard to find. I seriously doubt a would be cop killer needs to consult an app when looking for a cop to kill.
Summer, spent 12 days camping in an empty Greek island. I had to climb to the top of the hill just to get phone signal so even though I could theoretically go online, chilling became a priority.

Other than smart playlists, your requirements describe pretty much any media player released in god knows how long.

Personally I usually have an internet connection except on the train, so I use a Subsonic server, and my Android Subsonic client is set to aggressively precache my playlist (so it plays happily through tunnels, even if the tunnel lasts 10+ songs).
I don't like the idea. Devices should inform users about possible violations, but ultimately the decision should be upon the user. This is probably more about the drone maker showing a good behavior to regulatory agencies and government than a good technical solution. Now a GPS spoofing attack can take down this drone.
I am told (!) that Tumblr is one of the more immature platforms out there, especially in regards to feminism/gaming. Then again, it might just be that jug5 doesn't like Tumblr. I wouldn't know, really.
Really? I would imagine that just serving the content to Turkish visitors would be enough for Turkey to see it as violating the law and put any servers or employees there at risk.

Being able to see all sides of an issue seems to be a mixed blessing. I watched a bio-pic of Bobby Fischer where they explained how strategic thinking changed his personality over time. They said that constantly putting himself in his opponent's shoes caused him to become very paranoid in real life.

I can totally relate to this and I have to constantly remind myself to just agree with people instead of challenging them when there is really nothing to gain. It's not always easy to do :)
Thank you, finally, it seems like Microsoft is either really good at appearing sensible or is actually being sensible (I guess they have been in the game long enough).
That doesn't tell you anything about the hidden services. By design, the hidden services don't have exit nodes. The traffic is encrypted from client to server.
Good old Autocode. Finally you didn't need to enter all instructions by number, it was considered a great leap forward at the time...

The first autocode and its compiler were developed by Alick Glennie in 1952 for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester and is considered by some to be the first compiled programming language. His main goal was to make the programming of Mark 1 machine, known for its partcularly abstruse machine code, comprehensible. Although the resulting language was much clearer than the machine code, it was still very machine dependent.

Yes, that timeline error stuck out to me as well. Recently I found Solaris 2.1 physical media, and the date on it is 12/92. My goal is to get old GCC running on it, but first I have to get it running at all. My sun4m is a SparcStation 20, so will probably have to find a sun4c or SS10.

Note to anyone trying to image old Sun CD-ROMs: anything below Solaris 2.4 (?) is a CD-ROM with a partition table. If you dd out /dev/cdrom on Linux, you may get only the first partition, in ISO9660 format. You will be missing the small UFS boot partitions. There should be one small UFS partition for each supported arch.

Seems like using /dev/sr0 on Linux works.
"Eastern block" uh we're talking specifically about Russia here.

>This seems more like spycraft than a politically motivated assassination.

Spies are rarely killed. They're traded for spies. Life isn't a Jame Bond movie. This, on the other hand, is clearly a politically motivated killing from a dictator known for it as well as annexing land and arbitrarily invading countries with unmarked troops.

>That being said, this case makes me wonder if political assassinations also occur in Western politics

More whataboutism when Russia comes up in the news? Color me unsurprised.

As much as people (especially here) think that everything can be solved by Big Data/Machine Learning, human experience and intuition are still very important.

No, you can't A/B test your new logo, or the design of your page from scratch.

Big Data can't tell you your product sucks. Option A may be better than Option B but this is in the context of both options (and not considering all other possibilities)

I see companies firehosing every tiny bit of consumer data hoping to be able to make sense of it all and find something there. Meanwhile they're missing whatever their competitor is doing and what their consumers are liking about it.

It also interesting to note that in contrast Rust stdlib does depend on glibc. It does not even work on musl, that is on the wishlist: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/625

Of course you can use Rust without stdlib, but that leaves you with fairly barebones language.
And it's a fairly reasonable argument. The main purpose of publishing these images is to say "fuck you" to Islam. Sure, it's done to protest blasphemy laws and such, but Muslims don't see it as "fuck censorship". They see it as "we hate you".
I'm curious what the legal consequences to Facebook would have been for ignoring the order. Would the Turkish government have sufficient authority to make local ISPs block the site? Would Turkey fine Facebook?

Enforcing any penalty would be a problem. If Facebook has no assets in Turkey, Turkey would need to go after Facebook's assets elsewhere, perhaps in California. U.S. courts probably wouldn't enforce a judgement of a Turkish Court that was at odds with the First Amendment in the U.S. Constitution, though the cases on this are mixed.

It's also interesting to compare this "graven images takedown" system the U.S.' DMCA takedown system. Here you can post some pretty offensive things on the 'net, but god help you if you post a picture of Mickey Mouse!

In this particular case note that the Wii hardware is, to a large degree, a straight repackaging of the GCN hardware with a bit more RAM and a higher clock speed. That the Wii is not an extreme graphical advance over its predecessor is to be expected. :)

I do agree with you in general, though. Which isn't to say that graphical advances aren't still perceptible (compare SNES-era sprites to any of the positively gorgeous sprites from Odin Sphere or Rayman Legends), but at some point you cross a threshold where graphics cease being cringe-worthy and start being merely dated. FFVII is a cringe-worthy example, whereas The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remains breathtaking to behold (as long as you don't look anyone in the face, that is).
AngularJS: One-Time VS Two-Way Data Binding
I find this argument hilarious, especially in this context.

> you can't just flagrantly break the law in other countries simply because yours believes differently

Facebook, and many American tech companies like it, have no problem breaking the law in other countries when it suits their bottom line. Primary battlefield: privacy rights.

> As much as Americans like to act like it, we can't enforce our ideals around the world

Facebook, and many American tech companies like it, enforce their puritan values around the world by fanatically censoring all kinds of harmless content (mostly, "boobies") on their services.

These companies are clearly willing and able to make both commercial and ideological choices with complete disregard for local laws and values.
> I simply didn’t feel right getting that amount of value for free from two projects which are run by very small teams, so I approached both and convinced them to sell me an enterprise license to their project. It is equivalent to the usual OSS license, except it comes with an invoice.

That's really cool of you, patio11! Most open source stuff I've worked on... I'm happy if I get a "thanks!" from time to time. Sure, it has other benefits, and I wouldn't be where I am today without open source, but handing out some actual cash is very classy.

I wonder if more companies would really consider doing this, though - handing over money that you don't have to is not something I've seen a lot of. I've worked for people who don't even want to let the world they're using various bits of open source software, let alone contribute back anything.

Also, there is a concern that money can really change the dynamics of a community, but by and large, I'd rather see a lot more money funneled to open source than there currently is. For instance:

My iPad Air is much better than any phablet for reading books on Kindle-and lets me honest, the way tablets and phones are designed these days, its not like carrying an iPad Air and my trusty 5s takes up a lot of weight or space. There's practically no weight/space penalty these days for carrying a dedicated phone and tablet.

> There are countless really, really crappy apps and clones crowding the [play] store.

TBF, the app store's main problem is app discoverability - I think only 1% of the apps actually sells well enough, the others are only found if you actively look for them. And the formula behind the Apple app store hasn't changed in forever - actually the only thing they changed was allowing (short) videos and a change in how they present in-app purchase-funded apps, which dominate the 'free' listings (of course).

Bit of a stupid title. The iPad has changed my my mom's life and those of her siblings (all retired). My father clings to his PC and constantly asks for tech support. My mom went from having to be taught how to use a mouse (double click was her nemesis) to be able to play games, browse the web, send email and most recently - Facetime! It has significantly improved her quality of life and I am really glad this tech exists.

I am in my 30s and the iPad is pretty useful for me as a device that just works and provides access to books, the web and YouTube. Heck, we use it as an awesome remote when we cast YouTube or Netflix to our apple tv, ps3, chromecast, etc.
Interview: Building a Software Startup in 1962
I work at Mozilla, and the folks at Torservers.net were extremely helpful in helping us get up to speed quickly. We're hoping to contribute to the public body of knowledge on how to operate servers efficiently, both in terms of effort and cost.
I'm not saying that only the tech matters. I'm saying that in an early-stage startup, only the product and the money matter. The tech only matters to the extent that it enables building the product. Sales, marketing, product positioning, feedback gathering, and investor relations can all be separate jobs later, after you have enough money coming in to support that specialization. In an early stage startup, if you're not building the product, you need to be the money person, so you should be doing all of that, and you need connections to do it well.

If you're a non-technical co-founder, the primary value you bring to the business is the people you already know, who have money. It's not your ideas and it's also not your visual design taste.
Because it's hard to make a hybrid app that feels like a native app. It depends on what exactly you are doing, and the state of the art has improved (see the ionic project), but it can be really tough.

Barring the title, the article touches upon some right notes. Ipad quarterly sales are down by about 21% YOY going by the latest quarterly earnings report from Apple (1). With the Iphone 6 and Iphone 6 plus coming out, I guess there's not much reason, except for certain use cases, for people to buy an Ipad. Apple surely recognizes that and is probably looking to reverse the trend with the rumored Ipad Pro (2).

It is, but there's a bunch of legal doctrine to say what actually counts as a threat. Also, SCOTUS has a case before it now that will further refine the issue, specifically about online behavior.
My computing devices are: an iphone (4s), an ipad (air 2), and a windows computer with a 27" monitor. I also have a kindle, but that's not general purpose.

I could probably replace the computer and ipad with a macbook, but 1) it would cost more money and 2) wouldn't be as mobile and easy to use as the ipad (for surfing in bed / on the couch, watching movies while eating, listening to music) or as usable as the windows computer (for coding and playing games) because of the smaller screen size and the relatively crappy keyboard / mouse. I could remedy the latter limitations with a docking station, separate monitor and keyboard, but now the solution is not just more expensive but much more expensive and even more cumbersome as compared to the ipad.
I am one of a handful of MBPro users in a sea of corporate Dell laptops. My 18 month old Pro still looks great. Dell laptops look very used after just a few months. This is true even of the newer Dell ultrabooks that look like plastic imitations of a MacBook Air.

And I get many comments from people wishing they could use a Mac instead of a Dell Windows machine.
as I am not in turkey and the content is not illegal in my country why do I have to receive the censorship as well?

Yeah, I agree with you 100% :) I have some experience and familiarity in this field. Thanks for the informative reply.
There's no reason to disregard a piece of writing because of the platform it's published on, especially considering the creators of Tumblr have no agenda and there's no barrier to entry. Would this piece suddenly become better if it were written on Medium?
This is timely. I am planning to spend the next few nights free of my laptop. I usually browse the web and plan massive things in my head, but I haven't written a line of code in my spare time in a week or so. I think I am burned out and could use the break, even if it's just for a few hours.

The last time I went without internet connectivity was 3 years ago, celebrating my two year wedding anniversary with my wife in Dominican Republic. The hotel has wifi in the lobby area, but I learned from a previous trip that it was an exercise in frustration trying to get anything other than pure text.
In other realms, we don't call this data but intelligence. Humans will still make the decisions, but in more and more places, the decisions are more likely to be informed by data (intelligence).

Consider that Netflix's data is tiny compared to the amount of data that any government must sift through. Algorithms don't make government decisions, people do. But they (hopefully) base those decisions based on intelligence (some of) which was gathered and filtered by algorithms, then synthesized by humans.
That's completely fair and accurate. The challenge is handling the genuine concurrency model then, but both Go and Erlang have good tools for doing just that.

So it kind of comes down to whether you want to shave off ceremony for concurrency or for all monadic/sequencing operations at once. Honestly, that's a tradeoff.
My Mom practically pays all her bills, watches youtube, does whatever she wants with her iPad. Same for other family members who aren't computer savvy and just need to get by.
The forum was a big surprise, glad to see small communities like that soldier on.

I think we had the same reaction to the clickbait headline though. I thought "No, it's no secret, it was widely known about when it came out and as I recall, it didn't get good reviews"
I had that thought as well. From poking around various IP law sites, DMCA is purely for copyright infringement, and can possibly open you up to more liability if you try to use it for trademark claims (what this would be), see http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=13f9814f-b56e-... for an example.

If Comcast wanted to take this down, it would be through a trademark infringement claim.

I'm curious if anyone knows of tools like this that are more deterministic?

I'm in the process of writing a library at work that is basically implementing the CoAP protocol from the ground up and having something that I can script to force the same packets to be lost or delayed is something that I would find very useful for testing. I've been using Apple's network link conditioner, but when I do discover a problem, it can take a long time for the same scenario to happen again which makes testing the fix quite difficult.

I'm currently trying to think through how I'd write this to make the filters easy to setup [0], but if anyone knows of something that already exists, please let me know.

> I mean in the U.S. pretty much every prominent liberal ends up dead...

Everyone ends up dead; mortality is universal.

But plenty of prominent liberals in the US don't do so through misadventure: Paul Wellstone and Edward Kennedy, for example. And, of course, lots of prominent liberal contemporaries of those you point to are still alive and active (Al Sharpton, Jane Fonda, etc.)_

While, certainly, some prominent liberals have been killed, "nearly every prominent liberal"is an exaggeration.

(Also, Malcolm X was a prominent anti-establishment activist, but was very much not a liberal, though I suppose one might interpret the way he was moving at the very end of his life to be in a direction less at odds with liberalism.)
"All this gen-y moral relativism is pretty depressing."

I am shocked by the massive irony of me saying "Follow Law" and you turning around and accusing me of moral relativism.

Stop using buzzwords you don't understand! If you wish to ignore the laws of a land based on your subjective judgement of them, then you are the ethically relative, not me.

Even Jesus was outspoken about rendering unto Ceasar, among other phrases supporting the idea that local government should be respected. There is NOTHING morally relative about following local law, it is a tenant that is literally enshrined in most major religions and moral systems that have survived for millennia.

The ability of people to reject basic social ethics that have existed since near pre-history using trendy buzzwords is pretty depressing.

You honestly think "follow local laws" is gen-y? That no society on earth ever insisted you follow their local law until millennials came around?

How depressing that one of the most basic tenets of civilized society, respecting local law, is now considered "moral relativism" and is blamed on the youth of today.
Combining Promises+ES6 Generators seems the next way to go. It is already used successfully in many Firefox tests and the syntax just feels great. For the Node.js ecosystem, you should take a look at IO.js [1], Koa [2] and co [3] that are able to handle nice async syntaxes.

The last time? This past weekend.

Before that? Every other weekend or so. I don't own a smartphone, and I make a point of staying offline most weekends unless I have a major email backlog to deal with, or something specific to look up.

Even when working on personal coding projects I prefer to stay offline during weekends whenever possible. Very, very useful strategy for maintaining sanity generally, I find, and for making time available for more useful + deserving sources of interaction and stimulation -- like books, music, movies, paintings, architecture, natural scenery, animals, and people.
