Subjective experience here - been in Iran (Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd and places between those, backpacking & mountaineering). I think we all know better than to judge whole country of 80 million based on few radicals that are conveniently showed in TV? I have met several hundred people, most were very fond of west, US too (that surprised me), few didn't care and there was exactly 1 taxi driver in Isfahan, who asked me if I knew Obama - because he is war criminal... arguably not very bright type :)
Maybe my experience isn't representative of the whole country, but few people screaming Death to america aren't either.

We get it, you (US) want influence there, because of oil. And because of... oil. You don't like that there is actually somebody who doesn't care that much and isn't afraid. A bit egoistic, and I don't get what do you expect to get in long term, except for keeping whole region unstable, with weak rulers who bow in front of you... ah wait
> It's a [sic] liberal jargon."

Given your definition of "spending other people's money on something that doesn't benefit them or their [idealized notions of] society", this fits far more in the camp of conservative wordplay. Liberals--at least according to the US conservative political narrative--love to "steal" other people's money to spend it on something that doesn't benefit them directly. Or so the conservatives charge. It is rare--if even that frequently--to hear American liberals refer to the spending of public money as "theft" in public discourse.
I suspect that this is because people have different standards for software installed on their computer compared to web apps. They expect the software installed on their computer to do what their old software did (as a drop in replacement) whilst the web app is a gimmick (too many people) and is only used to produce new documents.
Is there "so much disagreement and discontent"?

There's a few high profile critics e.g. PHK, who puts his points as an eloquent rant which of course we as a community tend to love but the reality is HTTP/2 is going to get rollout by companies who've tested it and seen the benefits i.e. not just Google.
One can write a book about literally anything. But besides that, it already "required" a book – at least two of them in fact, both published before Google even announced SPDY: "High Performance Web Sites" [1] in 2007 and its sequel "Even Faster Web Sites" [2] in 2009, both by Steve Souders.

What are they about? Essentially, optimizing your HTTP responses for the ways in which actual web browsers make HTTP requests. Any web performance analysis tool worth using (like YSlow and PageSpeed – both of which Steve Souders was involved in btw) recommended the practices outlined in those books.

So, no. I don't think a new book with updated practices says anything about the protocol. The optimization tips from this book will simply become widespread common knowledge the same way they did in the past.

I definitely agree that we have differing perspectives on this. To me, the more human thing to do is to give her privacy and time to regain composure before any final words or property are exchanged, instead of blindsiding her with this in a public place and expecting her to maintain professionalism or decorum sufficient to avoid embarrassment.

Is it really nicer to make her walk out of a place where she knows people with mascara running down her face than it is to let her read and handle the news at home, just so I can go around and tell everyone that I wasn't a coward and I "owned up to my mistakes" by making an adult cry in public?

I should note that not everyone cries. Maybe she wouldn't have cried. Maybe she would've jumped up and screamed at me. Maybe she just would've been noticeably sullen. Maybe she would've been completely unphased. I ultimately decided that for her sake, it wasn't the appropriate venue to take that kind of risk, and that the news would be best received via email at a time when I knew she'd be home.

>As for the nasty retaliatory email: you fired her by email, what did you expect in return, a personal visit?

It's not that I didn't expect the email, just that I didn't expect to avoid the "consequences" of my "screw up" by firing her in an asynchronous medium.
Mozilla's Project Shumway Removes Need for Adobe Flash Player on Firefox Nightly
When we hire we look at years of working experience, and request a technical assessment before interview. In my opinion, quality of work and culture fit are far more important than a college degree.
Many colleges are out of date and behind technology.

I would suggest building up your portfolio and reputation by working on open source projects. You will also learn a ton from experienced developers you meet there - more than you could in the same amount of time at a college.

If you code in C#, we'd love to see your contribution to our project here - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Good luck!

I assume you're asking because the "non-constructive" proof of the halting problem's undecidability is unsatisfying and you want a concrete example.

Another way to approach the problem is to talk about the reals and the naturals: the cardinality of the reals is greater than the cardinality of the naturals. Turing machines are encoded in binary, hence the set of Turing machines is no larger than the set of natural numbers. Hence there are some reals that cannot be computed by a Turing machine.

This suggests an obvious example: write a program to compute the square root of a number with infinite precision. Then let it run. For any input, can you tell me whether it's stuck trying to compute an irrational number, or just taking a long time to compute a very large rational number?

But of course there is. Humans have value to humans. You are assuming that "have value" requires a supernatural grounding.
> I'm making sure the same does not happen on Linux, before we get kicked out of our own platform.

To make one thing very clear:
Sandboxing is partly intended to be an additional way to distribute software. Majority of the packages come from your distribution. This sandboxing (together with other bits) would allow you to distribute your application eventually 80% of the various Linux distribution users. I think it'll take some time because there's a lot of things to work out (e.g. relying on Wayland, kdbus, change Pulseaudio to use kdbus, etc).

A user should have control on what an application can do, but that's something new and user might highly prefer such applications (e.g. not allowing an application to just modify ~/.bashrc and adding some evil sudo alias if it feels like it).

IMO at most you'd have some package software which shows for VLC: "unrestricted access". The intention is to offer more security where possible to the user while at the same time it's not too difficult for the developer.

More likely the author misunderstood the interpreter, I would think. It sounds to me like he was saying he doesn't understand what the locals are saying when they speak in their native dialect to one another; that doesn't mean he can't understand what they're saying when speaking to him.

I prefer document.getElementById("myKitten") because it's easier to read and more describing then just $("#myKitten")

If it's too long to type, and you use it often, make a macro for it.
When naming stuff, keep it short and simple though.

Also, you shouldn't hide logic behind names. I was actually wrong about evens.map(v => v + 1); If that's what you want to do, then write that. It's a thin line though, it might be hard to know what "v" is in that context.
PHP is also a fairly new language, so it certainly wouldn't be my first choice if that was my main concern. In fact it isn't for this exact reason.
CURRENT has meant MAYCRASH in BSD for... 25 years now?

I don't know how suggestive it is to someone who doesn't use FreeBSD, but if you as much as download and install it, there's no way you don't stumble into at least one "-CURRENT is not what you want for production" fine print.

This isn't a communication, security or respect issue, it's a competence issue. You don't just install an OS on a server and "somehow" not know you're installing a development version!
Good point. This is key, as you say.

Does anyone have any information about HTTP/2 development in Apache?

Well, for what is worth, many Europeans, like the Germans, are even worse at satire and humor than Americans are.
Ok. Thinking a bit more about this: I think the basic problem is that this blindsided her. If you are firing someone un-expectedly that alone will cause a reaction. I've never (fortunately) been in a situation where I had to fire someone out of the blue (except for the aforementioned thief), and I can't actually imagine that this would ever happen to me. That may be the root cause of what's going on here rather than the way in which it was done or where it was done.

It may be a cultural difference or maybe it is for legal reasons but I don't believe in getting people fired 'on the spot' unless they've done something quite terrible and in every other case the fact that we will be parting ways at some point is most likely evident to both parties long before it needs to be formalized. So maybe that's why I don't need to resort to firing people from a safe distance because the writing will have been on the wall for quite a while.

Case in point: when I wound down TrueTech Canada Inc (15 employees at its peak) it was obvious to everybody working there that we were doing bad, even so I found the time to try to get those that had trouble finding other employment at least a temporary fix. I'm still in contact with almost everybody that I employed over the years and that's a point of pride with me. If I'd have sent them an email while keeping them in the dark about the situation until the last moment I doubt that that would have been the case.

Big mistake: Joining a start-up with non-technical[1] "idea people" founders as a young father during the last year of my studies. Put a lot of effort into it, got little recognition, burned out all resources (money, friends, family). Have been doing the work of an entire dev team, 12h days, weekend work, and still got like "Oh, you go home already? What about all the work? I've been sleeping in the office and doing super important stuff!" There were days I didn't see my kid for days. Before, my colleagues promised me a super relaxed time, "you can go home early and play with your kid!"

Now I'm freelancing with friends, making good money, flexible hours, feeling much better already! Finally paying off the debts I made during the startup time. Also working at a real company can be quite nice!

Startups are like cults, you only realise what it was after you left. Got myself dragged into this sick mindset of overworking. And as it turned out, we've been working 90% of the time for nothing! Not exaggerating here. Hope it will pay out at least, but not sure about that even... I had better worked half as much time as a freelancer and just bought the shares for money.

Fresh fathers and mothers out there, beware! Startups have to be really family friendly, then it could work. Considering we've only been doing 10% valuable work that eventually contributed to a good product, I believe it's possible to work, say, half as much, have a good work life balance and still get a better product shipped in the end.

[1] With "non-technical" I mean economics people, the "We have a super great idea and are looking for somebody to just do the little boring work of just executing it" bunch. I enjoyed working with non-technical people in general very much, but I've had bad experience with business people, those that only care about money, not about the product or employees.

Lance Leventhal is one of my favorite authors of machine language books, he wrote a series of books on old school microprocessors, each of which followed a fixed template and taught you the basics of yet another processor in a familiar setting.

One of the lines from those books that stands out very clearly 25 years after reading them last: "If a variable is tallying the number of horses name it 'nhorses' not 'qdogs'".

Names matter. So if 'CURRENT' means 'MAYCRASH' name it so.

I'd say to avoid complex signalling in all early communication with people. Until the other party is understood,it seems logical to stick to as clear of communication as possible.

>Yes, absolutely, people are programmed to survive just like every other life form out there, so why favor humans?

Because we happen to be humans. But there's also lots of other creatures out there to favor: monkeys, dogs, that sort of thing.

>When we talk about morality, we're looking for something that should happen, deeper than what does happen or what anything wants to happen.

The word "should" becomes utterly meaningless if it has nothing to do with what we want. What do you think "should" would mean if I proved conclusively to you "should" exterminate all life on Earth? It's an ungrounded symbol if it doesn't take your real desires into account.

It may not work for you on the web, but I've been reading his book with my tablets (both Android and iPad) and I'm finding the experience really positive. Its fresh, clean, and after reading a single page of a chapter I am comfortable with the usability of the rest of the book.

Certainly some 'rules' are broken, and it can ruffle feathers. But I don't think any progress is made without feather-rufflage. This book is a really great example of a readable, usable piece of literature, published on the web, and feels like a next-generation book. I like it.

There's similar problem in Kazakhstan. egov.kz is their e-government site. They issued their own root certificate and they use it to sign all users certificates. And they signed their SSL certificate with that certificate which causes it to show alarm.

Not very smart move if you ask me. If you teach users to ignore HTTPS errors, then MITM attack becomes easier because user don't see anything suspicious.

It seems pretty counterproductive for Google to penalize the linked-to website for this, because they don't necessarily have any control over the links. This means that now a good strategy would be to make a bunch of spam links to your competitors' websites and have their rankings go down through no fault of their own. While that would be less effective than having your own go up, it's still useful.

What Google should do is make the links have no effect at all, thus preventing this abuse.

Google knows people rarely browse beyond the first few pages of results. Everything else is derived from the days when it was important to show off how big your archive is. They're basically still performing that vanity game. 600,000 results, nearly all of which are of such low quality it'd be embarrassing for Google to show off what they pretend is a valid result so they can fake a large result count (but they know users don't go there, so it doesn't matter).

That is to say, in informal communications, an intuitive notation such as "[class][index]" can easily map between an abstract thought and its textual representation, without a critical re-reading on the part of the author to ensure the subjects are properly differentiated, potentially followed by subtle sentence refactoring.

Funny. When they launched, everyone was expecting it to be 50/50, and in fact Intel and Microsoft had announced or launched stores with that as the split but changed to 70/30 as soon as the App store came out. Some rivals even complained that Apple was using it's financial muscle to undercut them at below-market rates as a loss-leader, yet even then at the same time others were making the same complaint you are.

Bear in mind the App Store was losing money or barely breaking even for most of it's existence. It's only in the last few years it's begun to make significant profits. They've sunk billions into it. That hardly seems like the business plan of a gouger.

As for being a monopoly. That's like complaining that the shop down the road is a monopoly provider of products in their own store. There is no monoploy, you can always buy an Android, Symbian, Tizen, or even Windows Mobile phone.

It's not just satire: Irony, sarcasm, comedy above the level of a 5 year old (i.e. where there's more than just a setup immediately followed by a predictable punchline: "Don't open the box Tommy!" Tommy opens the box, etc.).

Classic quote: Speaking to an American about not having ridden a motorbike in years, my brother said "I'm sure it'll come back to me - it'll just be like riding a bike". The girl replied in all seriousness "Well, it IS riding a bike."

RAID5 is obsolete. In RAID5, if a disk breaks in an array and is replaced, the system has to read all of the remaining disks to rebuild the array. If a single byte is unreadable on any of those remaining disks, your array can’t be rebuilt and you have lost your data. With today’s disk sizes, the chance of this happening is larger than is acceptable.

The interim solution is RAID6, which will work for some years to come.
