Western culture had a weird influence long before. Their children animation series were western looking characters. I don't know how much of it was a marketing strategy or a form of praise for westerners. I also noticed the trend for English lines (Ai Robu Iou) in anime theme songs.
Erlang – How we do it
I've already been getting kind of ridiculous suspensions due to this. A dice puzzle game where all you ever earned was points for making the right patterns was banned for encouraging gambling.

So, uh, goodbye one of the few things that made developing for Google better than developing for Apple. Really don't know how they could possibly be bragging about this.
Interesting. I wonder if Canada has some better laws about it. I can try ordering there if it's so. The rep I spoke to was in Lenovo chat though, it wasn't through the phone.
I think part of Spartan's success will live and die on how well it supports addons/extensions. I imagine it won't be backwards compatible with IE's old COM extension nonsense, so it will be interesting to see what they do there...
I'd definitely use this. I've noticed that I can often change location by a couple of blocks to avoid surge charging
Just an FYI, but that was the least useful bit of the Snowden leaks and is more speculation and insinuation than anything. It's literally based on the reading of a PowerPoint slide. AFAIK, there's been no actual evidence of "direct access", whatever that's supposed to mean. An automatic subpoena-serving could easily be written down as " direct access " on a ppt to management.

It's probably a good idea to not store critical data with any third parties, but I'd be far more worried about Google than MS.
Making customers uncomfortable is always a bad plan. I don't want to contemplate the fact that I work in a mostly white office building above an entirely black starbucks, while getting a cop of coffee.

And I used to be a cashier. I'd rather die than start a talk about a touchy political issue with customers.

Talking about politics and/or controversial topics, which race relations is IMO, is impolite in public. If I owned a coffee shop, I sure as hell wouldn't want my employees making an effort to talk about stuff like that to customers.
Not in the Bay Area, but that seems extremely high to me. For a couple it would be $18,250 for the year? Just for dinner and weekly cleaning / laundry? Why is it an additional $25 for the second person when the cleaning / laundry will mostly be overlapped. I think I would be more interested in just a laundry / cleaning service anyways.
Far from the first person to mention it, but im fairly sure we have had this for a while.

Well, I'd argue parking spaces are special: because they can be turned into free space, and then turned back into a parking space, very easily! Sometimes you don't even have to do anything - for proof, see parking restrictions intended to free up extra lanes during busy periods, that rely on nothing more than the time of day.

This makes the experiment quick and easy to do.

(You could also knock down a shop to see what would happen, but that would be harder to reverse, and the owner would be unlikely to agree to it.)
That kinda ignores all the people developing in countries for whom going to these conferences hardly qualifies as a "bit of time in networking".

Venmo Freezes Account Over Memo Text Containing the Name “Ahmed”
Although I suspect we're blowing this out of proportion and certain parts are not direct quotes but interpretations I don't want identity politics with my coffee. I used to be left, but with the current identity-politics and left-wing extremism growing in Sweden I've becoming increasingly conservative, and I'm only 26. Didn't expect it so soon.
In fact this is just the second time I've heard about Venmo and I don't care remotely. My peer group is heavily PayPal based and therein lies the issue - fragmentation suddenly becomes painfully obvious when you try to pay someone you've not sent money to before or you go to a new store which has decided to use the new hotness which you've never even heard of.
> you might expect the Japanese language to show close affinities to some mainland language

Like the extensive use of Chinese characters in their writing system?

I started learning basic Japanese after learning Korean to an intermediate level, and was surprised that the grammar was almost identical for simple phrases.
Thanks for clarifying.

I'll agree that your way definitely provides less abstraction, and my viewpoint doesn't perceive jt in that way. That being said, I've made a similar case against ORMs, so I understand your position.
That may work, but it would be bad for the market overall. The more browser engines we have the better, least of all we wind up in another IE6-like situation where one browser/engine rules the world and dictates web-features.

PS - Yes, I know Google broke away from Apple's WebKit branch. But a lot of browsers are still very WebKit-like.

My impression is that poor urban planning correlates more with era than geography. One thing I noticed while traveling in Europe is that while the old urban centers are pretty great, the outskirts, built during the automotive era, are no better than anywhere else. There's just less of it.

That said, in SF (according to the article), some pre-automotive buildings were actually retrofitted to reflect the new car culture and add garages.

We're about 2 decades away from replacing C, IF, and that's a big IF, Rust delivers on all its promises. So far so good though. As you might be aware, the best technology doesn't always win. I'm not saying Rust won't, I want it to - but it's not just a matter of technology.. also a matter of community support, civility toward newbies/adopters, SOLID, TOP NOTCH documentation so that one doesn't have to scour the tubes for answers, plenty of examples demonstrating suggested use of all the language features, small as they might be, they need to get the point across. If the Rust devs give it their all, I can see no reason why in due time a decade or two from now, Rust cannot be taught as the primary language in universities worldwide, in lieu of the preferred systems language nowadays, C and/or C++.

I think IE supremacy was different and much worse than a Webkit supremacy would be because Webkit isn't controlled by a single company and is open source. Different Webkit implementations still compete for marketshare.

I dare say that if all operating systems were nix, that might also be a good thing. It certainly would make life easier for developers.

I understand the problems of monocultures when they are controlled by a single profit-motivated company, but is a monoculture based on open source software so bad? Besides, both webkit and *nix systems aren't exactly monocultures because they have so many different implementations.
> The analogy is totally confused from a theological and sociopolitical perspective, in its treatment of the Old Testament and New Testament as being mutually exclusive/opposed sets in the Christian religion, and the implicit assumption that most interpretations of Christianity are from a libertarian/anarchist perspective.

When you find yourself writing phrases like "a theological and sociopolitical perspective" it's time to walk away from the keyboard. That's such a broad phrase you might have just said "a perspective".
There is objective and direct information. Study the language and it's libraries. Then look at your needs and make a judgement based on reason. There is no other way around this. You could look at other companies experience but then you would need a large sample size and detailed analysis of why they succeeded or failed. Using a sample size of one web company you might as well study the entrails of a dog and you will get the same results if you make technical decisions like this.

It's not that hard these days, particularly if you are a big company with plenty resources, Apple chose to fork Clang/LLVM so that they could keep their Swift implementation proprietary.

Haven't open source frameworks pretty much always been permissively licensed ?

My experience is that applications are typically GPL licensed, meanwhile frameworks and libraries are typically permissively licensed.
You had me going for a moment there. I was ready to respond to your comment about NULL before I realised you were joking.
I should have been more clear. By "re-implementing OpenSSL in Rust" I meant making an implementation of SSL that would be used the same way as OpenSSL is, dynamically linked from C or various other programming languages. If you want a static library to compile into your Go application then of course doing it in Go is the most straightforward way to do it.

AFAIK it was a historical attempt to save on encoding space back when Unicode had a 16bit fixed width and could only support up to 65K characters.

Now that Unicode has expanded out, I am confused why anyone still defends this practice.
"leaked"...?

... as-in posted by some Microsoft Employee under direction of Microsoft Management in a "we don't want to write-up a change doc or support info, nor answer questions about this build, and/or test the waters for a possibly controversial feature without officially claiming the build."

"Leaked", in the same sense as anonymous Government Officials "leak" important news to the press to test waters before the administration officially backs an issue, or big manufacturers "leak" pictures of new products to the press to create buzz before they do an unveiling... one would think the world was made of holes.

Why do we call all these things "leaks" when they so-definitely are not. They are "clickbait", plain and simple.

Not to mention the fact that the recipient needs a bank account anyway if they want to convert their bitcoin into something that they can actually spend outside of the dark web. Worse, the recipient also needs a bitcoin exchange account to even make the conversion possible, then they have to wait two days for the exchange to ACH the money into their bank. This all assumes the exchange will even do business with them following their extensive KYC checks.

I've never had a bank require that I OAuth with Facebook or give them copies of my passport in order to get an account. Bitcoin is just not the solution to this problem.

> Why give soldiers a battle plan when you can just safely control them with a joystick from 3000 miles away?

Since we're speculating about the fairly far-off future, I don't see that ever being a more practical option than just building a robot. Humans are squishy, and a lot of people are spending a lot of money working on robotics, automation, and denser energy storage. We're already doing it with planes.

And supposing we're abandoning the ethical concerns completely, which side wins? The one with the mind-controlled humans, or the one with the mind-controlled cockroaches carrying aerosolized nerve agents?

Humans are, all things considered, not the most efficient way to fight wars. But we've collectively agreed (Geneva Convention, etc) that more efficient ways of fighting wars can be a very bad thing, and we banned methods like gas warfare after WWI. I think it's likely that mind-controlled humans (especially ones who didn't volunteer for it) would fall in the same boat.

I'm willing to give Spartan a chance, honestly. The ModernIE initiative taken by Microsoft the past few years feels like Microsoft gave IE to a team of competent engineers and told to run with it. They dropped support for older versions of IE and upgraded the technology behind it.

Firefox is too slow. As a power user I notice millisecond differences in page render times. I may be an outlier but I think most people who spend a lot of time on browsers will notice even small differences in load times. I've long switched from Chrome as my main browser, disliking the direction Google has been going with several of their products.

I might be an outlier, but I'll give Spartan a chance to impress. [As a side note, it's amazing how crippling to your reputation bad technology decisions are. IE 6-9 gutted respect for Microsoft]

It's a problem with our industry. Devs want to spend time on activities that enhance their career. Because there is almost no internal career progression this means focusing on transferable skills.

Without loyalty, or at the very least aligned incentives, you will never get the most business value out of developers.

Early on in my career I was the sole dev looking after a large legacy system. For 4 years I worked really hard and added a lot of business value. I was not rewarded at all; No promotions, minimal pay increases, no respect etc. All the while my tech skills were getting out of alignment with what the industry was paying well for.
Because they're copying Apple's keyboard.
Because they're aiming to have things automated. They don't want to pay people to do these things when they feel that they should be able to automate it.
Probably because it's a just-so story not based on reality. Building a career and finding a mate surely must be more influenced by the breadth of your social network than is your ability to help your children and grandchildren. Think about how many people you know who have gotten jobs or met their significant others through friends or acquaintances. I think anyone who sees interactions with strangers as adversarial should take a closer look at why their own stance is so suspicious. Getting to know new people definitely isn't easy, but it's incredibly rewarding in itself and opens so many doors.
Can people really not decouple the words "for" and "yield" from other languages and just understand how a scala for-yield is desugared? Writing Scala and avoiding for-yield for the reason of it being superficially confusing to someone from another language doesn't really make sense to me.
But the people you give the source to can redistribute it, so it's almost a meaningless distinction.

It's a great point. I think people are getting better about teaching kids about finances, but it's still a difficult conversation for some.

Thanks for the feedback, it's something people have mentioned to us and will guide how we message kids about gifted stock, and which educational materials we develop.

> And to your phone example: of course, I'd be annoyed. But that's exactly the point: you have to set up your local system correctly, to your expectations and standards.

The problem here is that for almost everything else, Unicode is a mapping from a code point (or a set of code points) to some distinct and unique representation on screen.

Except there are some code points for which that isn't true.

> Sorry, I truly think you've run up an argumentative dead end.

You are not arguing any point, other than "let's keep this historical attempt at saving on encoding space around, even though we have expanded out the encoding space so that we don't need the savings anymore."

That isn't a strong argument.

My argument is "user's don't like this, it upsets them, we shouldn't do it."

If something we do as engineers angers or upsets our users, we are doing it wrong. Flat out.

The comparison to the play "My Fair Lady" is not very convincing. I would suggest the author remove it as it weakens the argument. First, the fictional character states 'no fewer than' as an admittance that there are more. Second, even if we consider this as a valid complaint, the author himself points out in his example that this 'common sentiment' is from a play written a century ago. Using a fictional character from a time when the world's knowledge of language was incredibly smaller than it is today does not help support your goals.

Honestly, if said data is used to generate some demographic profile in order to show me less irrelevant ads while still paying for these incredibly useful services, I don't terribly mind. Advertising has been around for a while but being able to guess what might apply means less reliance on sheer volume in order to get the same value from the "ad space". I completely understand the ways this can backfire (shadowy three-letter agencies stealing that profile info, leaks that reveal info that someone figures out how to tie to your identity, etc) but those things are already distinct possibilities with credit card companies, email providers, loyalty cards, medical records, and a host of other things. Leveraging information to create valuable services that would otherwise not be possible is probably not going away anytime soon. At least this way it's easy to split bar tabs or cab rides.
