I think you are confusing use cases, the iOS Enterprise Developer program is something totally different. It serves companies who want to either test own apps within the organization or use own apps just for internal use (like intranet apps). Meanwhile the program got rather abused for doing test flights and beta tests.

What Google does is different: the company IT can decide which apps are allowed and they can automate installation, e.g. company xy wants to install Salesforce, Trello, and 5 other apps on company devices in addition to the OS apps.
To be clear: you are saying the toolchain does run, but not to your liking?

It has been possible to install real Linux distros on Android for a while (X and all), with no root required. So you can install and run Android Studio if you so wish. It probably will be slow, but it can be done - today.
How to Reduce E-Mail Input Errors [Short Video]
Yikes! 50x monthly payment + 3 payment deposit for a rental? I had no idea NYC was _that_ bad. I live in Denver, one of the highest cost-of-living growth cities in the US (aside from the spurious oil-boom townships in the midwest), and $2,000 a month would get you a nice 1,000 square foot mortgage in a good area, even with horrible credit, and like 3% down, say $6,000.

I totally get that the reasons for choosing a city are varied and I wouldn't argue that anyone should move to a city strictly based on cost. But that seems impossible for a community to maintain a sustainable workforce. How do commuters even afford to cross the bridges and tunnels?
Am I the only one who prefers to use Vim bare and just have a terminal open in another tab/window? For some reason having all these plugins weighs me down in a spiritual way, where the benefits of being able to edit a bit of text or open the right file more quickly get drowned out by these extra objects on my desk I have to keep track of.
Hrm, I wouldn't say that. There were laws which discriminated against Catholics for centuries afterwards in England. It was only after the Emancipation act in the nineteenth century where things started to improve and even then it took until the 20th century for anti-catholic sentiment to really die down.

Probably stupid question, but do we have solid evidence that the laws of physics/constants were the same/behaved the same back then? I know that to be true for the last couple of billion years. But so early in the development of the universe?
Exactly right. If Google can make self-driving cars, there are at least two other companies in the world (and probably many more) that can (and will) make competing self-driving cars. The timeline is a big longer, but the basic rules are the same.

As much as we all like to think we're exceptional, we aren't.
> "Google Play is a package manager" doesn't make any sense.

It makes totally sense. Google Play is a package manager like apt-get, npm, etc. and Play is a nice name which covers many uses case since it's a playful synonym for "start" or "to start something": "start a game", "start a program", "start an app" or "start work"

The term 'package manager' would be to long and is not learned among the mainstream but again it's exactly this, check Wikipedia:

"A package manager or package management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages for a computer's operating system in a consistent manner. It typically maintains a database of software dependencies and version information to prevent software mismatches and missing prerequisites."

There's all kinds of reasons that this isn't sufficient, return based pricing, multiple seat pricing bands for a single flight (for some airlines this is dynamically calculated on a moment-by-moment basis), airline and airports rules covering transfers for whether a given pair of flights connect or not, etc... the list is basically unlimited.

What could have prevented supermassive black holes to exist from the very start? It would seem quite natural that at the start there were many supermassive black holes with gas around, and so around these holes galaxies formed because of gravitational pull. But if this theory is true, that means there should exist supermassive black holes that don't have their galaxies, or have size mismatches between galaxy and black hole (hole way too big for the size of galaxy). But if they were there from the start and gas distribution were semi even in the universe, then it would be possible that each black hole that popped into existence from the start of big bang got it's own galaxy.

Some plugins really increase your productivity. For instance CtrlP or Syntastic. But I agree that sometimes it feels overwhelming to have all those things enabled, and sometimes not even being sure what they do and how to use them.
> IBM didn't come out with the first personal computer - Apple and Commodore did.

IBM wasn't a startup -- it had massive distribution resources. When you have access to an enormous distribution channel and massive marketing budgets, the rules are obviously different.

> Microsoft didn't have the first operating system for x86 machines - Digital Research did.

Yes, but Microsoft piggybacked off of IBM's distribution channel. That's extremely rare, and 99.99% of startups can't swing that sort of deal.

> AOL once dominated social networking. Facebook moved into a quite mature space - Myspace, Geocities, and several others were big companies when Facebook started.

AOL, MySpace, and Geocities effectively committed suicide. It's nice when that happens, but you can't count on it.

There are no guarantees, it's all a balance of probabilities. The point isn't that the first mover always wins, it's that if you aren't the first mover the balance of probabilities is against you.
Seems to be missing the "digital strategist" ligature :).
I love ligatures - to me they're like the user interface paradigm of the future, and a good example of the beauty of ligatures is the Chartwell font [1] which allows the creation of beautiful, detailed graphs with little much more than a text editor.

[1] https://www.fontfont.com/how-to-use-ff-chartwell

I'd love to see more innovation in the use of ligatures in user interface and graphics work - so I'm quite happy to learn of Sans Bullshit Sans. Hopefully this will prompt the investigation of ligatures, in general, by more designers .. and we can see other uses come out of this often-overlooked feature.
It seems accessible to me.

Negativity bias is how a negative event is more impactful than a positive one, but turning down a job is not a negative event.

It may later seem like it was a loss, so some form of retrospective loss aversion might be more appropriate to apply to this phenomena: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_aversion

On a general note wrt. failure/success then we actually tend to slightly exaggerate our successes when remembering them, and similarly downplay our failures.
I think this is great to test your pitch!
I think this is a valid point. For non-performance-critical code where readability is more important (eg analytics) the additional language features could be nice.

In my experience, 9/10 production use cases are covered using a path as primary key with prefix matching (select path,data from tree where path='a/b' or path like 'a/b/%') - as a side effect your subtree nodes will often be on the same table page (mySQL by default, pgSQL when using CLUSTER).

I've had positive experience with Postgresql, but I haven't personnaly witnessed how it behaves in production. In my opinion there aren't good alternatives to a recursive query:

- Send one request for each level of hierarchy? Worst of all.

- Stored procedure? I don't think it would be optimised compared to a recursive query.

The more interesting part for me was how they made it http://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/

TL;DR version: they made a font with custom ligatures, so that the sequence of glyphs that make 'synergy' are replaced with a single 'bullshit' glyph!
Out of the plugins listed there the most useful ones that actually save me time are CtrlP and Syntastic.

Syntastic is useful because it can give (visual) feedback on exactly which lines have warnings/errors a lot faster than recompiling the project. Also I find it easier to use than :make and :cope.

You can setup CtrlP to take its file list directly from git ls-files: very convenient for working with largish projects where files are in subdirs. And if you press Ctrl-t it opens the file in a new tab instead of replacing the currently open one (YMMV).

Depending on the language(s) you use there are other plugins that might be useful, and you can keep using the terminal as a separate app, and for specific operations (like git commit/grep and such).
In fact for a long time I was launching Vim from a terminal (with tabs), but I found out that I had dozens of Vim processes running in the background by the end of the day.
So I switched to using GVim + separate terminal app now.

The term "SMS Services" reminds me of the archaic term "CD-ROM Industry", which was so popular before that "industry" was blindsided by the Internet.

I'm not, but I'll grab the hook for a few seconds.

This is going to boil down to Lenovo getting $0.90, $2.00, some other amount per system or a one time payment. It could also be for a specific quantity of desktop/laptop systems, sysems shipped after a specific date or within a specific time frame. There could also be a geographical component to this. There may also be other details to the financial arrangement, targetting demographics and systems affected.

I would guess that this did not get installed on server or workstation products, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if the latter were.

I wonder how much Lenovo received and how the payments were structured.
Is the cautious approach then to treat a p-value in the absence of priors on the same level as a p-value in presence of unfavorable priors? When someone tests positive for a cancer test, the priors are known (probability of cancer in the general population is usually very low, and the false positive rate of the test may be relatively high), and so usually that first test is merely indication that further tests are needed. So when you don't know the prior and you observe a low p-value on something, isn't that just "preliminary research" that needs to be further confirmed with other methods or at least the same test but using other data?
Oh geeze, I didn't realize the server also did the encryption/decryption. The bit about the secret only being in the URL and not on the server made me think it was done client-side.

If it's happening server-side then it seems like this is only appropriate to use when you're hosting your own instance. Using anybody else's instance (for anything that actually needs to be encrypted) means handing your plaintext to the server operator.
In a big company, this will have had nothing to do with engineers as they are not employed to do business deals.

A business specialist will have made a deal with Superfish in the name of the company. In all likelihood they won't have an understanding exactly how Superfish works, but they are drawn to the revenue opportunity. They'll have put a request in to the imaging team and then it's job done.

They'll be team at Lenovo now reviewing how they got into this mess and trying to ensure it does not repeat in future.
This is also an issue in Oslo. Traditionally (and currently) the population has the right of assess 2 meters inland from the high tide mark. People with houses (typically elite suburbs) on the waterfront have tried to stop this as they don't want someone walking across their front lawn or parking their boat there.

Given Norways egalitarian society, I was more surprised the people pursuing this felt it was worth their effort given the likelihood of success.
> The fact is that to make a good decision, eventually you need to compute a single number.

Your linked blog post states that if you make a good decision, then there is a process computing a single number which is equivalent to your process. This is not equivalent to what you claim. As a matter of fact, it's the same kind of confusion that exists around the p-value.

It's not the case that a process explicitly computing such a number automatically makes good decisions, which is what you seem to claim implicitly.

Also, Gödel has nothing whatsoever to to with this.
So in units the rest of the world actually understands this means apartments between 24 and 34 square meters?

That's supposed to be micro? I would say that this is about the regular size of "1 room apartment" in my area (Munich area, Germany). Which isn't the most densely populate one, no huge high-rises, tower blocks or anything like the public housing in British or American metro-zones. If you're converting an old house into rental flats, that's just what you usually get.

So, yes, I along with many singles, professionals and students lived (and live) in such "micro"-apartments. Kitchens tend to smaller than larger apartments (and definitely smaller than what you usually get in the US). And, well, you've got your bed next to your desk.

But otherwise I never considered this to be that much special. It's no Japanese coffin motel, you don't need complicated tricks to stow away things; no hidden floors, multi-function furniture, murphy or loft beds (the most common bed size here seems to be 1.4m x 2m -- no clue what's that in "royalty").

So around here it's certainly not the wave of the future, it seems to always have been that way. We don't tend to have that many shared apartments as they've got in the US. Once you're done with university, it's really, really rare to share accommodations (which to some would suggest an "alternative lifestyle").
I'm sad about this. Science needs to be more accessible to the public, not less!

Yes. There were many, many companies that attempted to exploit this trend in databases and caching, and all of them are now dead, zombies, or pivots.

The binaries were p-code. I agree, using Pascal at that point (very small RAM, the need to extend the Pascal to be more than a tool for learning) was surely a worthy technological achievement, and, if I remember correctly, the system allowed the user programmers to produce the programs which were bigger than the available RAM. That had otherwise to be custom implemented in the non-trivial programs at the time. To compare, original MS Word (for DOS) was also at least partially p-code and was bigger than the RAM. Before it, Wordstar also had to have the mechanisms of having only one part of the program in the RAM at the time. However I still find the later Turbo Pascal significantly more amazing product.
