Mh, as hinted I'm not part of the core team, so I cannot say anything definite, but a lot of money is going into bug bounties: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/elementary/bounties (a blog entry from february talks about $15,000 total in bounties and $3,470 to upstream projects). These bug bounties are paid out to contributors solving nasty bugs, but it's open to everyone to solve these bugs and get the bounties.

Currently there is only one person really employed by elementary LLC (and paid regular), and that's Daniel Foré, the project lead. He quitted his job, but from what I understand, he earns significantly less than in his job before. Everyone else is "only" getting money from bug bounties.
Yes that's what I figured. All of that is only possible if you have traffic (or can read the TMC for construction alerts). OSM is unable, now, to get that sort of traffic details, so can't route based on it.

Disgusting. Other religions are perfectly capable of inspiring similar acts.

Though I'm not at all friends of religions in general, the Abrahamic religions are definitely of the more violent and dangerous kind.

Sure, killing is part of human nature. Just some religions motivate more to do it than others.
And one of AOL's acquisitions, Netscape, was worth $10B when the deal closed in 1999.
I feel like this is a perfect reason why this is a bad investment. Anyone who is still subscribed to AOL dialup is honestly probably a senior citizen or technology-illiterate. AOL is not even marketing their dialup service anymore. These people over time will slowly decline until those 2 million eventually hit zero. In fact, you can clearly see the nearly exponential downward trend right on the article you linked. This makes it a nice amount of basically free money for AOL currently, but an absolutely terrible investment for the future.
Now, what kinds of V8 vulnerabilities can we exploit to get inside Google? Said every intelligence agency everywhere.
That's just the usual faux complexity and "fair and balanced" smokescreen.

Any religion that fundamentally doesn't tolerate the existence of other religions and calls its followers to slaughter those who don't convert is "bad religion". Islam is a "bad religion".

There is a fundamental difference between the violent excesses of an ideology, an ideology than almost inevitably leads to violent excesses and an ideology the prescribes violence. The Islam is all the way at the extreme end of that spectrum.
AOL in a big media deal, Clinton running for office, stocks at all time highs. What's not to love about 2000.

I'm not sure if the 8266 could be powered kinetically - wifi is particularly power hungry.
Cable I didn't know AOL had ever made it into cable. Or are you meaning dial up over telephone cable?
At a cost of $2000 a sub, that's pretty expensive though.
It doesn't have to be always on, it could be remotely controlled.

This is what inevitably ends up happening to me. Granted, I do get to go home at 5pm most days, but right now as the busy season is winding down, I find I have more time for duties I have had to let slide. Oh wait, nope, the big boss feels that those duties aren't as important as this pile of stuff he was going to do, but gosh darn it, he needs more time to browse Youtube! So I end up with a stack of BS that's above my pay grade while he fucks off in his office all day. Mean time, my actual duties stay on the back burner, and my other boss rides my ass about that and doesn't want to hear about what I've been forced to do by our big boss.

And they wonder why I'm looking for another job.

For people wondering about Ajax requests, Googlebot is performing them very well together with SVG rendering.

For example this URL:

https://www.chemeo.com/predict?smiles=CCCC

is performing the drawing of the molecule using RaphaelJS, then pulling the corresponding molecule from the database using Ajax and updating the page. Googlebot is performing all the steps perfectly well to add the end index the page.

It is very annoying because this is not important in our case, what we want is the good indexing of the main data pages, not these pages... I do not want to block the bot yet, but I need to figure out a way to have the main page better ranked.
1857 and christianity throughout history....

Should we not be focusing on the current problems at hand? The inquisition was one of the darkest most disgusting things I've ever read about, I'm no proponent of Catholicism. But I don't see the value of pointing to something behind you when there is a ten ton elephant charging at you from the front.

Fine, that's his decision, but he does not need to make it others' fault to pursue his lifestyle.
A significant number of AOL dialup customers are living in rural areas where broadband is just not available [1].

Well I thought that was pretty reasonable. But since you disagree, lets look at what is actually happening now.

The youngest MP for a few hundred years was elected the other day. Her name is "Mhairi Black". Google her name, and see what you find on the first page.

Now, what have Police Scotland been up to....The last thing I remember seeing was a complaint about their ridiculous policy of sending armed officers to events that clearly didn't require them. They apologised and gave assurances that armed units would only be sent out in response to specific incidents.

Or do you mean personal interaction with the police? Last time I saw our local policeman, it was because his young son was scared of dogs as a big dog had knocked him down while playing. We took our puppy round so he could pet him and get over his fear.

I'm not sure what lack of government oversight you think there is. Holyrood is under constant scrutiny, not least by those who'd like to see it abolished!
We're not meant to 'do jobs', so none would make me happy :) The only think that makes me happy is doing what makes me happy, which currently is travelling and finding a place to start a village according to my philosophy and then doing it in such a way that it attracts more people, including professionals in all possible fields. A society built on cooperation instead of competition and where concepts as career and job do not exist and work is only done because it's necessary, not because some virtual concept (like money) makes it necessary just for the sake of keeping this virtual concept in place.
I'd love to do some Java development, but it's commonly done with Eclipse, and I find Eclipse quite painful to use.

Someone suggested netbeans to me, I tried that too but it is just as bad.

What I'd like to see is something like CodeWarrior Pro 8. That's long discontinued, but FreeScale CodeWarrior is popular for embedded work; you can download an almost full-featured demo version from http://www.freescale.com/

My guess is that most people who actually like Eclipse or NetBeans have big screens, or even multiple screens.

I do just about all of my coding on an Early 2013 Retina Display MacBook Pro. On that screen, the space for the text editor is quite small.
But you can still progressively enhance with JS to achieve that nice UI, and often it will be more usable because it's built on a solid RESTful foundation that is close to browser behaviour and therefore user expectation.

My experience with JS only apps is that they're often less usable, more brittle, and often don't work at all in IE

Yes, invading everyone's privacy and illegally searching them will catch more bad guys. I don't think anyone's arguing it won't. The point is, it's not worth the loss of freedom and privacy.

The purpose of America is not to make cops' jobs as easy as possible.
My experience is that the Dutch are among the most 'anarchic' people I know. Everyone has an opinion on everything, and bosses try to just be 'one of the guys', and avoid exerting their authority overtly, as it's likely to backfire. Obviously this doesn't apply to all jobs, but I've experienced it a lot.

Americans, but to a lesser degree people from other nationalities too, tend to be much more authoritarian and are less inclined to hide the hierarchies.

I've experienced Dutch bosses struggle with 'being bosses' in Germany, as their 'flat' approach confused their employees. I've also had German bosses try to be 'one of the guys' in Holland, but not quite pulling it off (to sometimes hilarious effect).
and with factoring the effect of inflation in the equation, the picture looks way worse and bleak!
> Any edits I have made on Google Maps have also had the same kind of responses within a day or two.

There's a big difference. In OSM you can change it immediatly. The few day turn around is for discussion the issue with the other mapper (since it's a community map). If the person didn't respond, you can change it straight away.

> My neighbourhood is barely in OSM

How lucky! Something to map! :) Round where I live, nearly everything is mapped, so there is nothing to do. You have a blank canvas to put your neighbourhood on the map!
Can anyone recommend any resources on power management on something like this?

My background in electronics is quite basic though I'd love to understand how they managed to build an ARM-based, battery-powered device that is predicted to last for years. I know it's not "always on" but it's fascinating nonetheless and I think building something similar would make for a fun project.

You're probably not a native speaker of English, but of Latin. In Latin, `ignorare` can mean `not to know` in addition to its meaning of `not to pay attention to`, but in English, it only has the meaning of `not to pay attention to`.

"but left the project earlier this year to pursue other interests" - Hi Jeff! I haven't really shared reasons for leaving the company to date and can't go into that.

I also don't think it will take years and think immutable is there today.

I think we're there today with a bit of skill and minor bit of work on top, but a little bit of work from cloud/virt solutions will push us over the hump - to be able to codify the upgrade-flip idiomatically within cloud/virt systems, so you don't need something else to do it for you. I do look forward to that being surfaced.

Things like Amazon's ECS in particular strike me as particularly interesting.
These are all artifacts from the fact that the implementation is based on SQLite, which does things this way.
For all of the people asking about contributions to the OS...its a fact that most people who work on Linux aren't volunteers anymore. Most kernel contributors are paid to work on the kernel. The same goes for a lot of the work that is done on distributions...even the free ones.

These guys are doing some great work and it would really be a shame if it didn't continue. They are attempting to put together the kind of polished end user experience that Linux has never had. That's a good thing. It would probably be best if they could find another funding source besides end users because the Linux community has a pretty bad track record of supporting these kinds of efforts.
Those first two American workplace traits won't work well unless you include a third American workplace trait: They're far less subservient to their bosses, if they have bosses at all. Not like how the project is being done? You're expected as an employee to just take control and do it the way you think is better, asking for forgiveness later if needed.

Many top US tech companies truly have no direct bosses at all now, e.g. some kind of peer reviews system combined with whatever measurable results if available, replacing bosses. I suspect that this totally flat approach is only possible for very top-level best employee-quality companies though, as a single bad behaving person can really screw up the peer-review system.

Side note: In the US there's a strong split between "professional behavior" and "personal behavior". In (most?) of Europe that split in personality seems to be nearly non-existent, or even frowned upon. Each person is expected to have only 1 personality. So don't get confused that there's just 1 behavior culture in the US, there's at least 2 that every professional has.
Even if historically all religions have had their share of atrocities, the point is that Islam today is like the rest of the world has been in the Middle Ages. Hopefully they'll get there in a few centuries, at least if they haven't conquered (explicitly through wars or implicitly through immigration) the West by then.
How would you put or index objects in a vector in C++ if they are virtual / dynamically sized? I'm in impression that unless you have the dynamically sized object behind a pointer, you get object slicing.
If all you are doing is casting reasonable doubt, that's fine. The logical fallacy arises when you point to the source of a proposition and declare that mouth that spoke it makes it false by nature. There's a big difference between "This pro-coffee study was funded by Big Coffee, so I'm skeptical and would like further studies and independent verification" and "This pro-coffee study was funded by Big Coffee, therefore the conclusion is false and coffee actually isn't good for you." Even if Big Coffee funded this report and benefited from its conclusions, the conclusions may very well still be valid; it would be a fallacy to reject this possibility outright.
> They are asking for $10. They aren't asking for a huge sum of money. $10 could be a very reasonable amount of money for the effort they've put into it.

It's a matter of marketing. Everyone knows it's based on Ubuntu, so they feel cheated when they're asked to pay for a free OS.

A marketing solution is to sell it as:

* base system $0 - VM with free download, no whines about "cheating". And the base VM gets you an Ubuntu image which boots to a shell prompt.

* Elementary additions: $$. The base system plus our less-filling, weight-loss inducing proprietary magic!

People are happy to pay money for linux application. Not many people, and for not a lot of money. But people do pay.

Having happy paying customers is a lot better than calling your potential customer base "cheaters". That's just stupid .
I can't say that I've ever met any nurses who became coders, however the president of an electronic medical records startup I once worked for, was a physician.

He wasn't a coder, but he had some very good ideas about how our product should work. The other two cofounders were experienced coders.

I myself am trained as a physicist. I once met a former french teacher. It's quite common for people to change careers into coding.

Were you to document your story, it would attact a lot of interests; a website would be popular, a book might be a best-seller.

I once had a psychiatrist who was a nuclear physicist before she became a shrink. I looked her up online, she went to medical school in Tennessee - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, then school on the side.

Ask HN: What is the most important tech trend?
I launched my first startup 6 years ago and arguably the most important trend was the adoption of mobile. I focused my company on this and quickly grew and sold my company.

Now I am trying to figure out what the most important tech related trend will be during the next 5 years.

Virtual Reality? Drones? 3d printing? Bitcoin?
With 4G broadband this is going to become irrelevant very quickly.
And You Thought Java Was Oracle’s Biggest Security Blunder…
Before they published this blog post, I was mildly annoyed at having to type "$0" to download Elementary, but otherwise I dug their goal of making a clean and simple-to-use desktop environment.

Then they published this post -- and mind you, this is not the original version of this post (the original was worse).

With statements like:

>We want users to understand that they’re pretty much cheating the system when they choose not to pay for software.

...and...

>we feel that an entire operating system that has taken years of development and refinement is worth some money.

...when all they've really done is:

* Build a stripped-down Gnome-family derivative Desktop Environment

* Build a custom-skinned wrapper around GTK that fits their custom DE (and expect app devs to fall in line with it)

* Write a few super-primitive apps in it (a Rhythmbox fork, a notepad clone, and a basic email client)

is just a -bit- overstating things, to say nothing of the difference between a desktop environment and "an entire operating system".

Then they say:

> Most of the open source world is similar; Inkscape and GIMP only get money for development if users decide to give it to them.

without the slightest ounce of self-awareness to realize that neither of those projects make conscious design decisions to trick users into thinking they have to buy them. If I see a $____ box, my first assumption is that typing "0" has the same effect as typing "-1" or "aaaa": a validation error. It's a very close sibling of the "Sneak Into Basket"[1] UI "dark pattern".

These are the moves that turned me from a fan/advocate of elementary to a critic: not that their software was poor quality (the parts they had actually built were, for the most part, roughly as nice a UI as most other Ubuntu derivatives had in my opinion), but that their philosophy and attitude made them the kind of people I want to actively avoid promoting.

it actually makes good business sense for a new organization to capitalize on these decisions. It is similar to a consulting agency - show off the use of a cool/upandcoming programming language or approach and earn more eyes or potential customers. Side benefit- the team also gets to improve their skills and enjoy the job more.
author here.

I'm assuming you have your organization's docker files in soure control and Jenkins, MAYBE you are buildling on top of the Ubuntu base image. So it shouldn't be buried - you should be able to update in source control and rebuild.

(Also, this post is mostly applicable to AMIs).

And 100% absolutely, your build system SHOULD be a critical part of your infrastructure. Not mission critical in that it being down is a problem, but it's how you role out changes.

This also allows you to continuously test the software going into builds, have dependencies, and all of those things.

This is "continuous integration + continuous deployment", but it doesn't have to be continuous. But continuous is a (cough) continuum and there are steps down that road that yield benefits without going all the way.

The keyboard is fine. The problem is the single sheet trackpad. Half the time I right click it registers as a left click instead. I noticed they changed it back to the old style in the new T450 version so I'm pretty pissed I bought a T440s now. Something this expensive should not piss me off on a daily basis.
Basically it always sleeps, and wakes only when you press the button - does it job rapidly and goes back to sleep.

Since you rarely press the button , it can live for years.
I don't think there was a fallacy involved at all here. If in fact critical data is missing, then OP is right to point that out. This doesn't inherently negate the conclusions of the article (and claiming that it does would in fact be a fallacy), but I don't think OP was claiming that anyway.

May I politely, respectfully suggest that you edit the title of your submission, to add a single space character after each of the commas.

I quite commonly see punctuation just like this among south asians. I expect they can read english well but may not be comfortable speaking it, and don't write it a whole lot.

But to me as a native english speaker it is rather jarring.
I have no idea what this site does, but it sounds like it lets game players pitch ideas to game developers. Look at the ideas section of Steam Greenlight and you'll understand immediately why this is a bad idea.
Please think before you type. You're describing the universally hated nag for payment ever so "popular" in mobile apps.
Hell, the other week when paid skyrim mods were a hot topic, some dev tried to do it in one of his free Skyrim addons and he got universally hated, flamed and hanged for it. I can't even begin to describe how negative the reaction was.

It baffles me people like you can actually still think things like these are a good idea. I'm all for getting FOSS devs paid, but your post essentially says "why don't they just preinstall some software from advertising companies that will pay them for it".
I've long thought that the need for a high performance sandboxed JavaScript VM was the real impetus for Google's investment in v8, and that Chrome was just a useful opportunity to leverage it and to get external contribution. Is there any evidence that this is the case?
So clearly your argument is that the most competent people will all be those who have maximized their amount of time in the workplace. We're looking for 70 year olds who never took a day off sick for all board positions.

Surely the worst impact of taking time out to have kids should be a slight delay in the career trajectory of the most talented women, not disqualification from board positions because they've now inevitably and irretrievably fallen behind their male peers.

The average case is always as expensive or less than a virtual call. But yes, the JIT most certainly introduces unpredictability, which may be unsuitable for hard realtime applications (hard realtime Java programs employ AOT compilation for those classes that require absolute predictability).
Yeah! I don't want to use one of the super-customizable distros (which force me to have to worry about things like drivers and fonts), but I still like to do a bit of customization. A solid base like this sounds pretty cool.
