I've been historically what can be described a Microsoft hater and I have to tell you, missing official SSH support has never been a hate generator and insinuating otherwise is insulting.

The first reason for which I have historically hated Microsoft is because of how they fought open standards. I can't believe that Microsoft changed in any meaningful way when I can't get a Lumia phone or Outlook to work with CalDAV / CardDAV. And that's just one current annoyance, as we can always talk about ODF, OpenGL and others.

The second reason for why I hated Microsoft is for their funding of SCO's lawsuit for the ownership of Unix. That was a long time ago, they must have changed right? Except that currently they are behaving like a patent troll, extracting profit out of Android through what can be described as racketeering, more profit than they do from Windows Phone.

The third reason for why I now hate Microsoft is for how they are (again) pushing for Trusted Computing. It's basically what happens when the OS provider becomes the gatekeeper of what you can install and do with your own computer. I never took this as a threat to personal computing, except that now Apple has made it acceptable. Things like insisting on logging in with Microsoft accounts, or only being able to install "modern apps" through their store (while taking a revenue cut of course) would have been unthinkable only 10 years ago. So thanks Apple for shifting the overton window, thanks Microsoft for delivering it to PCs.

Of course, "hate" is a strong word. I don't really hate them, I just speak against them. But given how people fill the forums lately with messages of the second coming, I'm wondering what the heck are these people smoking, because I want some.

Not sure if this is joking or not, but the fact that I can't tell is itself indicative. This is an example of just how toxic state- and corporate-sponsored trolling is to communities. Any given position will promote winners and losers, and any position anyone takes could, in theory, be the result of dishonest, arational, apersonal influencers who lack the desire or drive for a rational civil society. And I think it's even fair to discount all potentially corrupted opinions because of that risk--but the end result is having to give up on the Internet as a forum for discourse, which pretty much kills off its liberatory potential.

We need to find a way around this ASAP, before it gets worse. And it will most certainly get worse.

What a fantastic question! You're thinking in the right direction.

I guess I'm always the type to read the wiki so I quickly learned the "exploit" way to train up an impressive fighting force: build mechanisms and set up a room full of poor quality light wood spikes linked to a lever that is being continuously pulled by another dwarf, then station your squad of unlucky soldiers inside that room with the door locked (keeping a careful eye on them to remove anyone with excessive bruising so they don't pass out and get slowly poked to death). Eventually your dwarves get ninja level dodging skills.

At that point they are pretty much invincible because they can't be hit by enemies and can just punch the goblins to death while dodging every attack. (I once had a dwarf trained in this manner kill a forgotten beast inside one of the underground cave levels with a silk sock taken from the corpse of a less skilled worker dwarf who had been slaughtered by the beast). It took forever but he survived.

But anyway, speed of learning aside there is practically endless variation in techniques to take advantage of in Dwarf Fortress, and if you choose you can discover them all yourself through slow experience, or you can read up in the wiki to get a jumpstart, but either way you end up having a lot of FUN.

Kind of ... I think that instant tabulR data of the sort you find in an HDF5 hooked up to distributed backend so my changes and yours are merged managed or thrown seems the likely "future" solution. If that's anything like aorta me please shout details
The crucial difference here is between using a totally open-sourced technology like Storm (or Heron, if they release it) and being a consumer of a public API with a proprietary implementation, or making use of their platform/users/data.

Twitter can absolutely block you from their API. Or come out with a competing product that integrates with their own systems better than your product does. But if you're using Storm (or Scalding or whatever), there's really nothing they can do to screw with that.

I'm not even a Powershell fan, I'm just not especially fond of Unix-likes, which feel like a local maximum that has turned into an unchangable standard. I think Unix-like environments feel dated, clunky and there's a tendancy for it to result in permanent bloat, stagnation and a web of interdependencies.

I understand that lots of people are familiar with Unix-like tools and their many idiosyncrasies and like to be able to transfer that knowledge across platforms. But that doesn't mean there isn't merit to a platform not conforming to that and trying to improve on it.
How would one go about finding them? (search terms, manufacturers...)
If your database is an MSSql server, you can connect to it through "data connections". Sort of works on a Mac, but only really on Windows (Might've improved with the latest version of Office for Mac though)
Not sure why, but calling the mDP connector 'technology' vs. 'engineering' seems wrong to me. They are electrically identical as far as I can tell. The only innovation was in scaling the connector size down.

Tabs now appear in the recent apps list (which can be shut off and turn back into normal tabs in Chrome), and it seems to be tied heavily into Google Now (though I'm not sure which parts are which).

Chrome on a Nexus device is a lot like Firefox on a FirefoxOS device, if that makes any sense.
I would think that "cmp" or "cmp -s" would be better, particularly if the files might be binary.
> Isn't dumb TV just another word for monitor these days?

A dumb TV still has a TV tuner, so they aren't equivalent.

But unless you plan on plugging it directly into an antenna for OTA broadcasts, they are basically equivalent.

Same. I have been a customer for almost two years now, but recently the UK servers have been so slow I can't even stream iPlayer in HD anymore. I contacted their customer service about the issue a few months ago and they said they were aware of capacity issues, but it's only gotten worse. It seems users have also realised and quickly moved from London > Southampton server and overwhelmed that one also (which always served me well when London was slow).
I can totally see this, as it is our analysts use Toad for Oracle and directly edit tables through that. There is a "data view" that looks quite similar to excel.
I did some PDP11 in college and I knew 6502 really well.

So, back to my original question: I still think it's better to start with ARM because it's more useful. You can learn a little assembler then ship. You don't need to master assembler. For example, you might do a Mandlebrot and optimize your register usage to avoid touching memory and ship that app.

You can learn enough in an a few days to ship something that might be amazing on mobile or a Raspberry Pi. Perhaps there are some vector operations in ARM?

In order to use assembler you need a good reason because most optimizing compilers are good.

In that past I've used postgres' ODBC driver to connect to my database from Excel. I've heard of (but never tried) Power Query, which may be a better way of directly doing that sort of thing without using Access to wire postgres to excel.
Intuitively it must be the case that your score decreases if the SAT taking population gets better at taking it because the entire point of the SAT is to rank students.

I don't quite understand what the discussion in the link is trying to say but I take it to mean that they normalize between different versions of the test in the same year in a way that doesn't depend on the ability of the cohort that took a specific version. That is still consistent with the fact that they do normalize across the entire test taking population.

You are advocating an unstructured interview process for college admission. That would be hugely expensive, as the first reply to your comment mentioned, and it would also be less likely to find strong students for colleges. There is a lot of research on this. The current mixed admission system that includes standardized tests actually works better for colleges, at less expense, than a system of in-person interviews for all applicants.

AFTER EDIT: Important background information for this thread is that hundreds of colleges in the United States already have explicit policies of open admission, meaning that they admit all applicants, and the majority of colleges in the United States admit the majority of their applicants. Only a few hundred colleges (out of about three thousand in total) are selective by any meaningful definition of "selective."

I'm not sure how this answers the question. Personally, I'm reasonably conversant with the ideas of relational algebra, and quite good with relational databases.

But the article at the link you suggest doesn't even contain the word "array", so I'm still no closer to understanding how this concept differs from traditional tables.

Why Ionic Is Reigniting the Native vs. HTML5 Debate
To run multi-monitor you'd need the monitor to embed a DP-MST hub or embed a USB 3 video device if you only used a single port.

The alt-mode capability cannot traverse a hub.

More likely you'd have dual cables running to dual monitors. Each monitor could provide internal USB 3.1 hubs and associated devices plus feed 100W back up the line if needed.

A library to create p2p networks

Introduction

Any p2p network is a graph of interconnected nodes. A mesh network.
The core components of a mesh network are:

-A node can connect to other nodes.
-Nodes can send each other messages in the p2p network.
-Received messages are parsed and acted upon by nodes.

Goal

Provide an easy api to be able to create a node
Provide an easy and flexible way to define the network protocol
Provide an easy way to bootstrap a network
Provide a network monitoring tool

I've started building this out and will keep adding features to each core feature.
Configurable connecting policies. Configurable messaging, broadcasting, signing, encrypting policies. Configurable network topologies.
Your career is definitely not shot. I've known people who completely bailed on their first job out of college within a few weeks and bounced back on their feet almost immediately. I would contact the hiring manager (and maybe copy HR) and ask if you can defer your start date. Explain that you had some medical issues that prevented you from finishing your degree as expected. You don't have to provide a detailed explanation and they will likely not ask for one.

Say that you still want to work for them, but you are making up your remaining classes over the summer/fall and that you would be available to start at full capacity on X date. If you can start within a few months of your original date, they probably will be fine with that. If you can't start until next January or next spring, then they might tell you that it would depend on their needs at the time. Either way, I wouldn't leave school and then try to secretly get your degree on the side. Those kinds of decisions usually come back to bite people at some point in the future.
>If ISIS wants us to engage them, we just sit back and allow them to rape whole villages and sell women into the sex trade?

ISIS are an insignificant mock army of goat herders with guns. They could be eradicated in an afternoon. It's presense though helps with strategic goals of instability for the region.

>You don't go to war for oil. You go to war for human rights and to prevent the slaughter and abuse of innocent people.

That has never happened in the history of modern war. It was all about strategic interests, political influence and resource grabbing.

Heck, if anything lots of dictators have been put to place and pampered, allowed to "rape whole villages" and kill innocent people, by the same people pretending to care for "human rights" in other instances. From Mossadeq to being in bed with Shaddam, the Taliban, Pinochet, Saudi Arabia, El Salvador "death squads", etc. And then bringing even more death and chaos when those deals went out of favor or allies changed.

Besides that's the role of cops. Who appointed any country world cop? Should third countries had invaded the US to end "slavery", seggregation, the "police state" killing blacks etc?

Skype killed by "http://" message
I hope they're doing it very carefully. Last I checked, making any changes to Chrome's settings files (like adjusting a homepage) will cause Chrome to reset all extensions and extension settings. It does this with no warning. And if you're not logged in and synced to Google, all those settings are gone.
I started feeling the same, about the configuration time sinks ... my solution was to create ansible-configurable docker images with everything setup ... so I can throw away and recreate the images once a month, when the plugins get screwed up (which they really do, about once a month or so!):

- Python version: https://github.com/samuell/devbox-python

I love being able to SSH in to a fresh docker (yes, I use fat SSH:able docker), and enjoy full auto-completion for python and Go! :)

But yeah, except for the auto-completion and a few minor tweaks, there's not too much extras there.

Its not a direct comparison.

The Smart TV even without the "Smarts" are generally higher end TVs.

Though not indicated on the main screen the $299 option is actually a SmartTV if you click through. You have to get down to the $269 option to get to non-smart TV.

The difference between the $269 and $299 seems to be about the difference for putting a processor in a TV and making it smart....

(Note I don't make the claim that the SmartTVs are cheaper but for the most part its being absorbed in the cost of higher end devices so you get the Smarts "for free" on better sets)
What sort of "outbursts of antisocial behavior" are you talking about, and is there really a modern tendency towards it?
I agree with this. My group uses google sheets to manage a very complex collaborative process which is highly record oriented and requires relational semantics and database-like integrity controls, but which also needs spreadsheet-like sorting, grouping, formula work, rapid data entry, pivot tables, and so on.

We kind of work around spreadsheet limitations now by having a separate google sheet hold source data in various tabs (one for each relational table), then importing data from that sheet into the working spreadsheets (where we do enrichment and analysis) using various lookup and query functions. It's precisely as fragile as the attention span of the most easily distracted team member.
I wish Windows just became a POSIX compliant OS. I think that would solve a lot of these smaller issues in an elegant way.

A SSD can be 85% of the way through its lifespan and still be operating with the same performance and reliability expectations it had when it was almost new, so the drive can reasonably be said to still be healthy. It's only when it has to start retiring bad blocks and expending the spare area that the drive is operating in a degraded mode, and it's not until you hit that point that the drive can start making accurate predictions about how much more use it can take until it dies.
I use console2, with a cygwin zsh, and then run command line ssh inside that. Sounds a bit convoluted, but works really well and gives me the experience I desire, where remote shells and local ones look and act the same.

They definitely sell retail copies of Windows, and someone must be buying them, or else I can't imagine the retailers would bother stocking them.

For example, a good amount of the people that have Macs also need to run Windows virtual machines (or Bootcamp), and the primary way to do that is to buy a retail copy of Windows. I can't imagine that's a very high percentage of revenue, but I wouldn't say that nobody buys Windows directly.
