The problem is that it doesn't matter only to IE, but to every version of a specific browser.

Nowadays people are not only using desktop computers. Many of the computer form factors used nowadays almost never update, yet one needs to support them.

> just because you happened to follow somebody who was controversial or deemed controversial.

Presumably you'd either unfollow that person and appeal your inclusion on the list, or else get over it. You are not entitled to push your thoughts to someone else's feed if they don't want to hear you. If you don't like it, join a platform where such an entitlement exists.

Nobody is confused about whether the dissent exists. Similarly, nobody has forgotten that creationists exist. The question is whether hearing the dissent is useful. It isn't, and for some it causes anything from annoyance to pain.

Amazingly lifelike humanoid that has been drawing crowds at AsiaWorld Expo
My bill got up above $500 one month (normally around $350) without A/C. My friend's cousin on Maui had a new neighbor move in next door from the mainland and installed central A/C like every decent apartment on the mainland has. Their first month's electricity bill was $3,000 (three thousand United States dollars) because of that A/C. It gets very expensive, very fast.

That's kind of my point. Animated pngs support 24bit color and transparency--which gifs do not. The carrot of transparency and more colors weren't enough to replace gif. It looked like the lzw patent scare would be enough but since that expired in 2003 nobody has been motivated to fully implement the spec or create content exclusively as pngs

Those drivers can be application specific, as it was the case in the application I had to fix. Why it was made so, will be kept under the covers of the NDA agreement.

Another use case, many developers mock JDBC by creating their own dummy drivers, specially in large companies where mocking libraries are frown upon.

> Most of the media describes Asians in tech as white

Do you have any examples?
Europe is not a country.

Many Western European countries like the Netherlands we have seen the same pattern of the white middle classes fleeing to new suburbs whilst the old city neighborhoods got taken over by newcomers.

And it is still how things are in many cities. Whilst the city center may have been revived and gentrified and looking all lovely and touristy, the surrounding neighborhoods are often dominated by poor immigrants, whilst the original lower middle class and working class lives in the suburbs.

The only options in the city for the ordinary "white" families are neighborhoods they can't afford and neighborhoods they don't want to live in. Sounds familiar?
Is the backend coupled to the front end? Or can I render the resulting data with whatever I want?
By saying this you're implying that it is a school that teaches you only one skill, versus teaching you how to teach yourself new skills. Or that the people who attend such school don't have the mental structure to do so.

Are you considered more apt to be a leader, or qualified to be a finance quant (even if you never trained for it) with a top school or your resume ? Yes you absolutely are.

Also "most of them don't actually work in tech". Yes, that. Programming is considered a dirty job in France by most people from grandes ecoles. They would all rather be architects or consultants. It sounds better on the business card. But someone needs to actually do the job. And this is why there are only tech services companies, but nothing close to a Google.
IMHO this is fundamentally unethical. The purpose of education - again, IMHO - is to equip children with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in the wider world. Advertising has no place in this model.

The example given by gumby is particularly insidious. I could make the argument for including products that the children will be familiar with to make maths problems seem more applicable to the real world. However, knowing that the "best-selling packaged cookie in the world is the Oreo cookie" does nothing to enhance the child's mathematical ability.

The Merchants of Venus by Frederick Pohl is a satirical SF story about the potential perils of runaway capitalism. I could see school districts experiencing rivalry depending on whether they are a "Coke school" or a "Pepsi school". The last thing school systems need is yet another superficial basis for tribalism and rivalry.

There is one potential benefit that I can see. Advertisers would presumably pay money to schools for the privilege of advertising to such a malleable, captive audience. If this money were to be used to enhance the quality of education at the school, could it outweigh the damage caused by advertising to children? I'm not sure, but I doubt it.

The thing is, you don't have a right to be heard. You also don't have a right to compel some other people to use Twitter the way you think they should.

If they (the users of those GG blocklists) want to keep gamergaters out of their twitter experience 100%, and act as though that objectionable swath of people simply doesn't exist online, that is entirely within their agency to decide.

And to address your snark, "some group" is people they trust, and "reasons" is because of an endless torrent of abuse, leading up to and including death and rape threats, publication of personal information, and so on.

> then they would be arguing for market pricing for your solar generated electricity. They are not.

Market pricing is exactly what a lot of utilities in the EU are now pushing for. Solar panel owners don't like it, because market prices now frequently dip below zero when solar and wind peak simultaneously.

The second issue is the cost of providing and maintaining power transmission. Traditionally, the utilities just tack on transmission costs on the electricity costs. When everyone buys all their electricity from the utility, this is a reasonable compromise. However, when you get rooftop solar, the cost of providing power transmission to you doesn't go down at all, yet your electricity purchases do go down.

A fairer way to price electricity transmission would probably be by your maximum draw from the grid, or by the size of the fuse that connects you to it.

Bloomberg Terminals Go Down Globally – Abomus News
Speaking from personal experience, if I'm using a dependency within our application that I see fit to improve upon, I usually take the initiative to add that improvement --whether or not upper management approves of such behavior. I think this manifesto is great in that it encourages developers to contribute, but it's almost implied, that many developers who implement these tools, find requirements that would fit not only their needs but others as well.

I recently implemented a very popular templating engine for our new project. Saw an improvement that could be made to the repo and did a quick PR on a fix. Done. I understand not all issues are that fast to fix, but it's default behavior on my part to fix the actual dependency (or find an improvement) while I'm working. In other words, I find that such actions are morally in-sync with the item at hand. I hope to see others share a common thought-process.

But for older browsers you can use the old specification too. This means including the old specification before the new one in the CSS block; that will provide a warning in the web-inspector. Then you will need a hack for <=IE8, but I have had this working on a site since autumn 2013 (not a public site and I therefore knew what browser versions had access). It is doable and it provides a flexible layout.

Australian ISP Optus Says It Is Ready to Sell User Details to Facebook
What are you even talking about? I've mentioned none of the things you're talking about. I'm willing to go off on some tangents (obviously, since I followed you down the police commissioner tangent), but this is getting ridiculous. I'm not responsible, and I don't feel obligated to answer, for every ill you perceive in the world.

Also, what brand of cereal are you buying that comes with "logic"? Your comment is more confusing than anything, frankly.

"You'll egg them on while writing outraged tweets in their defense - signalling how much of a good person you are for being intersectional."

I don't think we know each other, and I don't believe you follow me on twitter. I'm not interested in being some sort of straw man for your angry tirade.
Vicious media smear campaigns? Automated blcaklists as enemies of freedom? Come on. The gamergaters are making death and rape threats and publishing people's home addresses, the targets of those threats are blocking them from view. There's no equivalence here.

As for the word salad about liberty and guns, it almost sounds like you're trolling.
I agree that abstinence-only sex education is harmful, but I'm not sure the same could be said of drug usage. There's no reason that the majority of people would need or want drugs, and many go without, so it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that most will not partake.

That being said, any education should still be honest—including explaining the exact harms of different drugs and, hopefully, in the process guiding future users towards safer choices. However, I don't think that should be extended to include the corollary of condom usage—there's no reason to educate people on how to use needles, for example.

Stack ranking, if anything, was a symptom of the same disease that led Skilling to insist on mark-to-market accounting and Fastow to create special investment vehicles that profited himself rather than his employer.

We've been looking at several CMS's to use for our upcoming website rewrites. Since our content is quite broad and unique in the way that it links together, we've found that existing solutions doesn't really fit into the usual CMS solutions. Therefore we've been looking at using something which is focused on providing an API to the content.

Examples of these:

- https://prismic.io/

- https://www.contentful.com/

- https://github.com/aheinze/cockpit

Personally, I believe more CMS solutions needs to provide a powerful API for dealing with storing and retrieving content.

Advertising aimed at children is unethical and is not legal in some countries and more tightly regulated than other advertising in many other countries. I would strongly object to advertising in an education setting. I would use every method I had available to remove ads from my child's educational life. He's bombarded with ads every day and I'd like to give him a bit of time away from that.

Also: some people suggest that Youtube kids allows advertisers to bypass tv laws about advertising to children. Youtube should probably push this link a bit harder: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6168681?hl=en-GB
How i get and process feature suggestions;

Support receives a suggestion of the customer, passes it on to R&D/me. I go over the idea and contact the customer, mostly attempt to simplify/combine it with other feedback/insights to help more users in one go. Then i update my issue tracker, and make sure that customer gets recognition, a workaround, and info on taken action. Closure given by support or initial contact person. Whenever the new release/update breaks ice, i reach out to the customer and welcome any further feedback.

Our customers (and most colleagues) dont (want to) know of an issuetracker, and any would do. (i use mantisbt) I'm surprised some here are shouting "software X" as the answer to this question..

You can use self-signed certificate to sign APKs. Once you publish the signed package, you have to use this same certificate for the package forever.

When updating, the system checks, whether the newer APK is signed by the same certificate and refuses update, if the certificate differs.

It simply does not matter, whether your cert is vetted by CA or not. So using PKI would not make sense there.

The rationale was not forcing the developers to purchase signing certificates in order to publish for the platform. It does not make difference anyway.
Ok, Business Insider was using the leak, fair enough. However, Business Insider did so in a derivative work and an article that praises Evan Spiegel. They demonstrated non-zero integrity by trying to positively steer the conversation over the leaked data.

I don't think there's a strong enough consensus on the leaked data to warrant flagging. Certainly legitimate to downvote the link, but a flagging should require communal consensus on a position, no?
Of course any underdeveloped regions tend to pick up IT first (and sometimes that's it).

First Big Conference for Front End in Israel
We are immersed in the various mediums present in our daily life and being aware of the medium itself and what limitations or potentialities are available from that medium will demystify these otherwise mundane ubiquitous things we encounter everywhere.

In the context of "The Medium is the Massage", I brought up (industrial) design because physical products are a major part of our daily lives and I never really gave much thought as to how a tooth brush or a Macbook was developed and built. Yeah Objectified had a fair amount of self-glorification of the designer egos, but before I saw the film I had no real concept of who was behind all the stuff that I use in my daily life.
Bulgaria in brief:

- EU and NATO member

- 10% corporate tax rate

- 10% personal income tax, flat rate

- Among lowest operational cost in a European market economy

- Duty free trade covering markets with over 550 m customers

- English language studied by 70% of students

- 7% of workforce has engineering degrees

- Macroeconomic and financial stability - one of the lowest government debts among EU countries - less than 20%.

You can register Ltd for about 100 EUR, office prices - about 8 EUR/sq.m.
a lot of automated software testing revolves around regression detection - not reintroducing bugs you've already fixed. for this to work you need to test against a very narrow set of predefined conditions. introducing randomness (fuzzing) into tests can find new bugs or edge cases and therefore mis-categorize them as regressions.

fuzzers certainly have their place in finding new bugs or security holes, but not when you expect passing tests to always pass if the code they cover has not changed.
Having read hundreds of internet posts describing anecdotal symptoms of ADHD, I can confirm nothing about what ADHD actual is or whether or not I have it. ADHD is, as far as I can tell, a condition whereby a person exhibits habits of some kind and feels the need to either judge themselves or not.

Granted, I am not a doctor, but I have yet to meet a person that I've felt has the apparently superhuman diagnostic abilities required to identify ADHD.

So I wouldn't worry about it either way. Live your life and try not to die or be unhappy.
Let's not forget about the shameful inclusion of acetaminophen (at least partially, explicitly) as a harmful deterrent against opioid abuse.

That it's unnecessarily, intentionally harmful is, again, shameful policy.

Tech nerds often seem to believe Silicon Valley is about tech and ideas. Well, partly it is. But a larger part seems to be the financial climate: There is an abundance of angels willing to gamble a couple of million on startups. Angels don't do that in Bulgaria or anywhere else in Europe for that matter. And there are far fewer angels. This is mostly because of different tax systems especially when it comes to write offs after losses vs profits.
Well my behaviours aren't obtrusive, if thats what you mean, and I am fine with them, considering that.

I have tried meditation and yoga, but I could never get the motivation required to build a habit. One of the main problems with meditation is that it is all about stillness, which can be very hard for somebody with ADHD! I mean, relatively speaking, a shower is a bit like a form of meditation for me, so maybe people of ADHD do practice a form of meditation by engaging in these activities.
