ps for the downvoter: My comment is entirely serious.

Breaking the web for fun and profit, 101:

The simplest example I can think of is the fact that in a standard google web search, "copy link address" does not give you the actual destination address, rather a google tracking link.

Another: Image attachments in gmail. Now there's this overlay that asks you whether to download, open in google drive, or view in the gmail image viewer (which conveniently has interfaces with a bunch of other google apps I don't care about). Now you might think the google image viewer is nice, but personally I liked my once-upon-a-time ability to just look at images directly in my browser with a single click.

So I gain nothing, google gains everything. They are wresting control of how I access my files, every step of the way.
But yet everything to do with this topic. The Amish believe one must work in harmony with nature. Tractors as an example threaten this harmony. I'm just waiting for some religion somewhere to state that self-driving vehicles are the work of the devil, or a threat to the Protestant work ethic. There might even be some political aspects of this a they are a signal of the coming "liberal leisure society."
Yes, people's opinions aren't all the same. But some people feel less motivated to give free labour for the benefit of another company, and would rather work on something communal which everyone benefits from
Try living in a time zone that is a half-hour deviation from standard time (Newfoundland & Labrador). When I first got an iPod my time zone simply wasn't supported by the software: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/179539
I agree, but to some extent I think we all do pay for Google services. They sit at the junction of just about everything we do online, and they've turned everything we do, look at, hear, say. etc. into a commodity data product that they sell over and over again. The services are either compensation or bait, depending on how you want to look at it :).
The "funny" thing given the context of this case is that one the things it would likely prevent him from doing - or at least make far harder - would be to voluntarily visit the US.
For the very same selfish reasons, I've made some OSM edits. Now I (and incidentally, everyone else) get better geocoding, better (foot+bike+car) routing, and a list of useful POIs :)
They sometimes active the Open Door buttons at outdoor stations when it is very cold / snowing.

For example I've been on an underground train where this happened at Hendon station on the Northern Line.
This terrible article is actually a great example of a submarine. Note the mention of a completely irrelevant "security" company halfway down, and then a link to their blog post.

In any case, it's terrible because it takes testing criteria under extreme conditions (don't store your SSDs at 55C) and then fearmongers this as the norm.
I thought URLs (including query strings) were opaque under REST?

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/ce/3/part11.html gives more context, describing Grasse as one of the last Lamarckists. Quoting from that link:

> Grasse also stated in the most unequivocal terms: "Zoologists and botanists are nearly unanimous in considering evolution as a fact and not a hypothesis. I agree with this position and base it primarily on documents provided by paleontology, i.e., the history of the living world

> The authors of The Revised Quote Book lifted Grasse's phrase, "the myth of evolution," out of context, trying to deceive others into believing that Grasse was doubtful of evolution even though he stated he "agreed" with the "nearly unanimous" scientific consensus that "evolution" was an historical scientific "fact." Grasse simply disagreed with explanations of exactly "how" evolution occurred. He felt the "how" part was not a "simple, understood, and explained phenomenon."

And as for Ambrose Flemming, that's reaching back to the 1930s. Fleming helped establish the Evolution Protest Movement and was an active creationist.
I choose to take it as a joke.
>You're the first one that should be jumping up and down and jumping to her defense. You should be outraged at the things that happened.

No. Telling someone how they should feel and act about a situation is complete and utter bullshit. Who do you think you are tell a stranger what their reaction to something should be?
Facetiousness aside, both what he _actually_ said (in other words, the notes about storage temperature), and who is saying this should be noted.

Lets not get carried away - everyone in Germany misspells my Swedish first name.
(Because I use a spelling that is not used in Germany everyone here "corrects" my name, even when I enter myself it on websites, etc.)
This is simply not true. Vanilla WoW leveling was extremely slow. My nelf hunter took almost a year to get to 60, and I was an avid player. There's other commenters here saying similar things, so it's not just my possibly-faulty memory.
It's honestly quite sad that it's been — what 10 years now? — and we still can't properly pause and resume a download from a browser.

I remember using DTA for the first time back in the day and going "Oh wow, nice!". It just such a basic facility to provide. Resumable downloads should be available in all browsers.

But no, doing some user profile shit that no one wants: that's what they spend time on.
As I'm driving somewhere Google can suggest me an alternate route if it sees that traffic is slow ahead and there is a faster route that opens up. Google takes into account construction that may be happening on streets and tries to avoid it if will slow my drive down.

Googles ETA's are more accurate and reliable. Googles directions seems to be a lot better taking me on more main streets rather than poorly maintained odd side roads.
My favourite was a recent banking webform which refused to recognise "0". Apparently it's not a real number. When I got through to support, they explained I had to leave the box blank to represent zero...

Mind: Blown.
Remember that those were different times. Computer science itself was born by trying to break that crypto, and modern cryptography wasn't available.

A different key for each vessel would mean several passes through the encryption machine, key tables distributed through several places, and the requirement of specialized workforce where otherwise just typing stuff in a machine would do. And all the errors that come with manually dealing with that, all during a major war.
I really appreciate how even-keeled he is despite being utterly frustrated with the experience. I think the worst he said was "crap," which I find refreshing.

That's something I hope I bring to every team I'm on.

Indeed, that's one place where OSM's community status becomes also its weakness: coverage is correlated to other mappers' activity.

As for the response - my point lies more with its openness: with GMaps, a correction disappears into a black box, and may be rejected for whatever reason (see the example with wrongly mapped highway somewhere in this thread). With OSM, the mapping criteria are documented, starting with "the map reflects what is out there" - specifically because even official data sources are buggy, and thus only deuterocanonical to meatspace.
On an even more tangential note, I had to read a list of security notes and had to say I understood them. I did not understand them. Ultimately, he had to explain the notion of "honey trap" to me with hand puppets; the breakthrough came when he explained that there were people who, upon trapping some gorgeous local and bringing her back to the hotel room for the night, wouldn't tell everyone they knew as quickly as possible.
It is a good video. The good thing about using a library like Kalends is that it takes into account everything he mentions about different timezones into account. Just tell it the time, date, and timezone name.

Just be careful about generalizing too much and assuming things such as: "this time will exist again tomorrow". Or "next month also has a 31st day". Or "DST is always a 3600 second difference from standard time".

Here is another article I wrote which also talks about some pitfalls of time and timezones: http://www.creativedeletion.com/2015/01/28/falsehoods-progra...
But ideally we'd also want a simple conjecture that would predict what kind of evolution at what velocity within what range we're bound to have.

To drill down to trying to even roughly predict rates and kinds of evolution, you are no longer at a simple conjecture as you have to include all the detail of the interplay of biochemical reactions, which is insanely complicated.
Generally, there's a good chance that most of these kinds of "Wtf?" logic errors are on the part of the journalist, not the person being interviewed. In the U.S, journalists don't send drafts over for comments, and rarely change published material, so there's little opportunity to get misleading stuff corrected.
Yeah. It makes no sense to believe that beauty is completely subjective, yet somehow related to software quality.
The new google maps is an abomination and should be aborted.
> Why do you think that supporting break and continue in macros is difficult?

In many languages, emulation of control loop do not support break and continue so I thought that this was the case also here, but apparently I'm wrong, sorry for my 'too quick' post and thanks for the correction.
Like most cities, whether American or European, with "decent" public transportation it's easier and faster to travel between some locations than others partly because of the hills. Certainly it's faster to take a car on many routes than it is to take public transportation.

There's something of a stereotype of public transportation being almost universally absent in US cities and being some sort of nirvana that rapidly whisks you anywhere in western Europe. In general, European public transit does tend to be better than in the US--especially compared to newer and more spread out US cities away from the coasts--but the contrast can also be exaggerated.
"This is a huge waste of potential."

That is the point that is often lost. I think this everytime I see someone who actually went to school and has a degree in something "serious" (with job security) throwing that away to do a startup idea. Shark Tank even had this. Robert Herjavec egging on a "board certified dental surgeon" to leave his career (was on "Beyond the Tank") to be able to sell (what started out as) Christmas sweaters. [1] The Dentist making a point that it was a tough decision because he had spent 10 difficult years going through Dental school and other training.

I would add that this technically is a (ba)sh script, not a Python script.
I'd argue that coffee is connected to a rather unhealthy lifestyle of sitting in an office chair the whole day, eating unhealthy fast-/restaurant food instead of cooking for yourself, working long hours instead of a regular 7 to 5 schedule etc.

I started my career as a recording studio engineer, and was in fact a regular reviewer of professional audio equipment for a national magazine for years, so I fit one of the two groups you mention.

The short answer, honestly, is that the two groups have little in common. The community of people in pro audio are usually very pragmatic people with comprehensive experience and context with audio (i.e. they are musicians themselves, or experts in movie soundtracks, etc) and more to the point have excellent and relatively unbiased "ears" and listening abilities.

Basically any audio engineer with actual real life professional experience and success (i.e. not a "hobbyist") can name half a dozen crappy cheap things that sound way better than the high end alternative in their arsenal. Things like a $80 microphone that is just amazing on harmonica, or a 1980's solid state compressor that is perfect for male vocals, etc etc.

And as a side note, professional engineers almost always have personal audio systems with pretty standard off the shelf equipment. I have never once in my life met a person who makes their living off of pro audio who has a "hi-fi" system of the type you see in stereo magazines. They almost invariably make equipment decisions with their ears.

By contrast, the high end "stereophile" community seems to be more of an analogue to the fashion industry. They are obsessive about concepts, like hand winding of copper, or ground isolation, or Class A or tube amplification, and so on. They care about checking off a list of things that an audio system is "supposed to have" and brand names and so on. Typically listening is a confirmation event for them, rather than a means for making decisions. I couldn't speak to the listening chops of the journalists that cover these things, but the entire sector is based on fashion and spending money and its media reflects those values.

The high end stereophile sector is about a lot of things, but faithful audio reproduction doesn't appear to be the highest priority on the list.

For anyone who actually wants to invest in a really high quality system to listen to audio on without getting sucked into this money bleeding insanity I recommend going to a high end pro audio store (such as B&H in New York or WPS in Washington DC, say) with a budget in mind ($1-3k should be more than sufficient) and getting someone to help you put a system together that will impress your friends.
Aye - art is its own beast, and as it does not (usually) have function, can exist outside of the constructs other things have to hook into.

Still, its technical history is that of bodge jobs, even if its matter is free of the constraints other "works" require.
It's because Google was and is still an engineering organisation. For the most part they still don't understand UX or design, and when they do it's in some incredibly maligned product that no one wants.
Maybe in zone 1, maybe in zone 2 ... at some stations you have to press the button to open the train doors.
Go has the poorest std lib I've ever seen.
Maybe there's a reason, a really good reason why streets in the U.S., built hundreds of years after the streets in Europe, are wider. Could it be that people already learned that vehicle traffic needs width?

Think about this. Your ability to venture out to the Big Box store in the suburbs is what keeps pressure on local prices. Once lack of mobility isolates you, guess who will raise prices.
But that's exactly the conflict: Google doesn't want your money, they want your data.

Paying for more privacy is not and probabably will never be an option.
Right, but it's about deportation of Asylum seekers to their home country not about the extradition of someone to a third country. It just not the same thing.

I think the point of feminism is that women should have upward mobility through their own merit, sorta like men...

The pool of female founders is already incredibly tiny. Asking VCs not to proposition women who are pitching them won't mean they are unable to date.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who reacted when reading that.. That guy is clearly insane
Putting up with annoyances on the web is nothing compared to real life. Ever tried immigration? Unless one has lots of money (most people don't) and hire very experienced, super fancy lawyers (most people can't afford), it is one of the most painful, demoralizing and expensive (even without the lawyers) process one can go through. How about the judicial system? healthcare? And so on.

At least we have options on the web, plus the option to improve/fix things (relatively speaking). He can always send his photos as attachments in an email, or put them up on dropbox and send the link etc. Offline? Different story altogether.
That is why people put up with things online. When you get used to real life crap, these problems online seem small.
She wrote "Another never followed up with me after our meeting, but a month later invited me to an event his VC was holding" - it doesn't sound to me as if there was still the option of investing on the table.

Besides, let's be honest - even if it was a private invitation, it was an even by some VC, so presumably lots of VCs would have been present. I'd be very surprised if women would not also routinely get the advantage of being introduced to VCs because they are women, which men don't get. It's dumb to not take advantage of that because of some weird puritan moral that attractiveness is not supposed to exist. She mentions herself that "attractive" male CEOs seem to get more funding.

Edit: reply to comments below - first, do you really think a guy having sex with an investor just to get investment would not be called some unfavorable things behind his back?

And being invited to a party with VC is a net positive option. Ignoring it would merely put her back to the level of men, not below that level. Feeling pressure to go there - really? As I said, it is strictly a positive option, ignore it and you can still do all the things men do to meet investors. And maybe that guy merely thought she would be interested in meeting VCs and proposed that as a date because of that. What's wrong with trying to cater to the interests of your date?

It really depends on how active your area is though. My area is very bare in OSM. While I've added some stuff to it, it is really too much for one person. It has gotten better I'll admit, but is still lacking.

I like OpenStreetMaps a lot, I just don't like the options for apps that are out there.
Yeah but history is littered with products that failed at shaping the future (Apple Newton, Web TV, Early VR headsets). The black swan part is that few could have predicted the iPhone or the PC would succeed.

It seems clear to me that he almost certainly acted like a total asshole in this case, whether or not he's guilty of a crime.

But that does not mean that I can't at the same time think the prosecution is acting in bizarre manners in this case and that something does not add up, though I don't think it's necessarily down to US involvement.

My guess is that yes, there was a dispute, or at least the women had regrets, and that Ny saw an opportunity to further her own political agenda and grabbed it. No prior conspiracy required - just two badly treated women coupled with a prosecutor who saw an opportunity to score some political points.

At the same time I think Assange genuinely fears that there is US involvement, and that this fear has in part been fuelled by the way Ny has acted in this case.

Of course this is total speculation.

And of course, the lack of a conspiracy does not rule out that US authorities might take advantage if they get the opportunity, but in the meantime having Assange holed up in his embassy would seem like it'd also likely suit them just fine. They know where he is, and his reputation has taken a serious hit.
This is a great documentary. Jason Scott, is really doing a huge service to help document the history of computing. He's working on 3 other documentaries and works at archive.org.

Seriously though, at launch, leveling was 100x slower than it is now. Took me at least 6 months (I think... thereabouts) to get to 60, and I played avidly (although I also had a fulltime job).

Also, the author clearly didn't understand blizzard games, or how MMORPG gaming works in general... relevant quotes:

"In fact, Glassdoor wouldn't even be around if it weren't for StarCraft's older, sister game, World of Warcraft, he tells us." (seriously?)

Oooh! Horror story time. There's a power plant which used an excel spreadsheet connected to SQL server stored procedures (live connect? active connect? can't remember) to calculate and show cooling conditions and active states of the generators. With lots of macros written by a teenager who didn't even understand the SQL part properly at the time. (don't judge me, they paid and I had no idea how bad that project was...)

Fortunately, if I remember correctly it was just read-only for monitoring. If it wasn't, I'm sorry... so so sorry.
That's assuming users aren't resetting their locale. It's not uncommon for non english users to assume that the english version of a site is the real deal and their version is an inferior localization done by some backbenchers at whatever company made it.

For example, here's a story about how the majority of power users in Poland use an english keyboard with specialized key bindings, because using a polish keyboard marks you as a n00b: https://medium.com/medium-eng/the-curious-case-of-disappeari...
To be frank, in order to maintain a business, you can't just do all the things alone. So it's really common to have more than one person as the founders of a company. The idea is, it's better to have at least one partner who is growing the same direction as yours. So a technical person would be the best candidate, i would say.
How so? Earths resources are finite. Allocating the scarce resources as efficiently as possibly is key to thrive and survive.
A minor soapbox of mine: agile doesn't say anything about release cycle. What it says is that the goal is working software, not released software.

Software can be working but not released until it's working well.
Someone missed an important part of the standard (JEDEC JESD218, section 6.3): "This standard is based on a use scenario in which the SSDs are actively used for some period of time during which the SSDs are written to their endurance ratings, followed by a power-down time period in which data must be retained."

E.g. in Intel's product spec for the DC S3500 series, the data retention parameter is specified as: "3 months power-off retention once SSD reaches rated write endurance at 40 °C".
