It would be the beauty of science if people referred to the weight of the evidence in more accurate language, and if policy makers didn't every now and then find excuses in weakly established conclusions.
My two cents is that i haven't found it difficult to merge between branches myself. I'll open up a diff view of the commit(s) i want to merge, and then merge them branch-to-branch and file-to-file using a two-way merge tool, using the diff as a guide.
I'm not sure what you really mean by this. Linux has supported non-blocking I/O using select and poll since at least 2.4. 2.6 even added support for epoll, which scales even further since the callbacks are O(1).

It's a fairly common practice to spawn 2n processes/threads (n processors) to allow half to block on I/O and system calls though.
These aren't fully contradictory results. The paper is referring in serotonin in one brain structure, the amygdala. The article was wrong to cast such a broad stroke.
The mandatory paperwork in case of freelancer is quite minimal effort. I have an accountant to whom I need to provide material. Currently in the paper form, but soon switching to electronic. Gathering the material takes about 2 hrs/ month.

Billing takes 5 minutes (I use web application called Zervant) and checking that the payment is received takes few minutes.

Then there are "random" stuff like updating insurance, meeting people (few times per month) etc.

Not that much stuff really.
SRS and many other subreddits like that are abusing people and leaking out into other mediums and making threats and bullying people. Doxxing is the primary method of war of SJWs.

No SJW reddit were censored.

So, clearly it is a politically motivated censorship and the excuses are not standing up to scrutiny.
Both. The article has some graphs of statistics that are behind the claim that the .net ecosystem is in decline. They look bad.

The reddit thread discusses the validity of the statistics and claim, which is in many ways more informative since it has more breadth and perspective.
Most users don't care about most subreddits. That's the way any big forum with many sub-forums work.
It's true that you get downvoted on Reddit for posting anything even mildly politically incorrect which is another problem with it - it's not a place to have any sensible political/worldview discussion anymore.
So hypothetically hosteurope.de could take down almost any fashion blog or picture of a woman hosted on their servers because in Saudi Arabia it is illegal to show a woman's body?

Yes, a bit facetious but the point is that such a 'moral' clause is so wide that it can be misused at will. What is moral for one person may not be for another and what's moral in one society may not be in another.

Beyond that, it must be noted that hosteurope.de did not cite this as their reason. They did not use the 'moral' clause but their exact words were 'politically incorrect'.
I guess this wouldn't replace proper server side validation anyway, but it would be a nice addition.
/r/conspiracy has quite a diverse set of 'characters', the anti-semitic ones are merely one of the loudest. There's also the various 9/11-truthers, the flat earthers, UFOlogers, Christian/spiritual scientists, pro-gun/anti-federal government types, etc. It can be a pretty fun place to check out, actually, if you enter it with the right frame of mind.

I enjoyed the second part of Seveneves quite a bit, myself, though I definitely feel like it could easily have been expanded a bit, and become a second volume. I will say, however, that the sharp divides between the "races" felt a bit artificial to me, much like the ways the alien species in something like Star Trek are monocultures, for no obvious reason beyond author/plot convenience.

I'm trying to break through the initial wall in Anathem presently. I think part of what's impeding me is that I bought it in mass-market paperback format, and the binding on my copy is egregiously bad; it's shedding leaves like a Minnesota maple in September.

Most people do not reach a point where their electrolyte levels are dangerously low when undertaking a prolonged fast of up to 40-45 days. Low levels of electrolytes are an indication that your body is unable to continue in a fasting state for one of several reasons, and it must be stopped.

IMO, artificially supplementing those during the fast will throw off your body's sensors if you will of knowing when something is abnormal.
If you are using the Integration-Manager workflow (which GitLab doesn't support as well as Bitbucket or GitHub), all the members of a team have read access to all the repositories and forks in the team namespace. That means the owner of a developer branch fork can always read the repo of another contributor and pull the changes.
That's what happens when a submission receives multiple flags. It's not a censorship conspiracy theory.

Also, at 72pts/100comments, it probably set off the flame war detector.
I'm no conspiracy theorist but if Snowden hadn't have gone public so quickly I believe he would be dead or disappeared. It's easy to look at the horrible things countries like Russia have done/do but let's not forget things like illegal rendition and torture that the US has done with the backing of other major countries.
Kilometer.io Shares Its Marketing Hacks
Wait for a new idea. Each of us has very specific talents that others don't. If you can find yours, you can be the one building it better. It's all about maximizing efficiency. Ideas come and go. You don't have to jump on the first one to succeed. Just on the one that makes the most sense.
>The only way sites earn is by ads right, so If I like their content and don't view ads, am I 'cheating'?

Featured posts, donations, merchandise, subscriptions, pay-per-use (paywall), sponsors.

I took the better approach, which is also more fair for them: I don't visit them at all.

It also depends if they get paid per ad impression or ad click. Though I don't think ad-clicks are common nowadays.

Not visiting their site has the same result, but is more "morally acceptable" for not using server resources. I don't agree with ads on principle - and an ad asking me to remove my ad blocker is still an ad.
I can imagine SteamVR later putting up a marketing site quoting Ars' original article headline like this:

"SteamVR ... feels like an 'IMAX in your house'" --Ars Technica

Is it possible that people would start confusing SteamVR and IMAX then?
Right. Sorry for that typo. (Unfortunately, I can no longer edit the title; could any power-user help?)

there is no such thing as a "moral standard".
Infosec Influencers: An Interview with Graham Cluley – Part 2
I've read a few of his books, and what they seem to have in common are the badly written endings. He doesn't seem to be able to properly wrap up a book (although I haven't read the last couple of his).
Not trying to be a wet blanket, but there's nothing really groundbreaking in this talk. It's pretty basic stuff that everyone else running L3 networks already does.

I'd be much more interested in a talk that is solely on proxygen.

I'd also like to know their fragmentation rate is between the L4 and L7 LB's. I know what ours is, but I'm sure FB takes a lot more large uploads than we do. Fragmentation is the downside to using IPVS in a L3 network.
FAA expects to clear U.S. commercial drones within a year
Yes, I run it, but if out of the possible 5'000 combinations that I go through when searching (https://rwt.to, essentially an A-B public transit planner, https://movinggauteng.co.za - data behind the planner) one of them breaks, it becomes difficult to spot errors until a few days later at times.

I could write something that does searches for as many combinations as possible, but I'm at the point where the cost of getting an error is better than spending a day where I can't work on my code because tests are running (the data changes regularly). That day's often a weekend where I've got a small window of time to work on my hobby.

On your last point, I often end up being detailed on my commits where I can fiddle with the history before pushing to remote, so I still end up capturing what happened in SC.

I'd really love a suggestion on how I could get around this, it would help me improve (I'm an accountant by profession, but do some SAS, R, Python, JS etc. as part of my ever-changing job).
FPH has been bullying, harassing, and abusing individuals for almost a year

Yes, and /r/shitredditsays has been bullying, harassing and abusing individuals for several years. But that subreddit is allowed to exist because Ellen Pao (reddit CEO) and admins agree with their politics.

Any other subreddit is deathly afraid to directly link to other comments on the site because they don't want to be accused of "brigading" votes which is against the rules and will get the subreddit banned. /r/shitredditsays links directly and openly vote brigades dozens of times per day. Again, because their political speech is favored.
FastMail doesn't do free accounts for new signups any more, just 60 day trials.

The author of HyperRogue here. Thanks to stared for sharing, and everyone for playing!
These things are a bit of a fad where I live. There are two "float houses" within a few blocks of me. My girlfriend bought us a session in one last last year (she said she was "giving me nothing" for my birthday.)

You do feel the water, at least a bit. It might have been a little on the cold side, which didn't help the experience. I wasn't freezing to death or anything, but by the end was thinking, "Yeah, this could be half a degree warmer."

I didn't experience anything special. I meditate and whatnot and am pretty comfortable in the company of my own mind, so it was kind of like a long meditation session, though I never got in really deep. I was too busy watching myself for any novel reactions, I guess.

It lasted for an hour or ninety minutes and was pretty boring. My girlfriend reported a similar experience. YMMV, and you should try it and find out. It wasn't unpleasant, there just wasn't much there there (which is likely a commentary on the sterility of my mental environment or something.)
Slashdot lost its userbase because new sites like Digg offered more frequent stories/variety and a better experience than the curated and infrequently updating /.

I was never a user at Kuro5hin and only checked it infrequently but I thought it was more due to lack of management than over management that led to the initial decline.

Digg changed the way the site worked.

I've been here a fairly long time and it seems busier than ever to me. I think a lot of the shitty pointlessly mean comments are gone now which just improved s2n even if it means less comments in total.
> It's true that you get downvoted on Reddit for posting anything even mildly politically incorrect

That's untrue and I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion.

The whole point of SRS is to highlight "politically incorrect" posts that have many upvotes and few downvotes.

IMAX isn't a 35 foot movie screen.

The value of the IMAX trademark is that it's a set of standards for image projection, which is how it's being used in the quote. As if the product, which is concerned with image projection, is up to those standards.

Harley-Davidson, to my knowledge, isn't involved in image projection standards.

Say a lamp which isn't UL certified had a quote "It's like having a UL certified lamp in your house!" Would that seem ok? Or maybe questionable?
I get that the threshold for just-noticeable color difference is much lower if the tiles are touching but I found the Hermann grid illusion that arose from using spaced-out rounded squares to be very distracting.

> They should have handled the /r/fatpeoplehate problem by hiding them from /r/all. Then nobody will see the subreddit unless they directly go to it and/or subscribe to it.

FPH brigades. FPH brigades other subreddits, and also other forums.
Beating a dead horse:

This article is great for a reasonably knowledgeable programmer to read and think "oh yes, this really nails what a complex and subtle and deep thing programming is, how astonishing it is that when I type a key so much magic happens to even make it appear on a screen, let alone be saved somewhere for posterity, and how amazingly clever I am for understanding all this stuff... mostly". What it completely fails to do is explain programming, or "code" to anyone else. And wasn't that the point?
Concerning promotions, we could restore the truth by adjusting the mesurement: Let's measure the "mean time to get promoted", which is the right indicator of the equality of chances. Needless to say that, in my 10-years of experience as a programmer, I've seen an average of 3 years for females and 6 years for males.
Working on it. The reliance on visual features means it works decently well on extracting from international pages. Try putting in foreign-language product pages or article pages into our homepage testdrive or with a developer token to see an example.
I can't actually downvote but I imagine you got downvoted because your comment reeked of bikeshedding (regardless of whether you intended it that way or not).
Is it good business? Or is it better business to have a clear policy over what is and is not allowed, and then enforce that?
No, because IMAX can't set up a movie theater in your home.
I'm the first to say that private organizations are not required to host or entertain someone else's hate speech, but that doesn't mean that government organizations should be censoring it.

That's the key difference here. And the fact that the host didn't give them a heads up about the service cancellation.
Yes they could if they choose to. So just don't use them for your hosting if you have such concerns. I know I wouldn't choose them (though I'm not exactly in the market for a hosting company at the moment)
So, this is how my experience started.

And then it took me like 5 seconds to figure out how to chat. I first tried to click on people's chat to reply to them and then I finally found the text input at the bottom of the screen. Then nothing would happen when I hit enter. Then I eventually found the blue circle send button and that didn't work.

Then I tried Chrome. Worked! So I found some bugs in Safari :)

Amazing that this was done in 300 lines. Something about this format is immediately appealing. Maybe it's because dots on a map feel more human than handles on a forum or comment thread. Anonymity is this double-edged sword in communities. Maybe this is the minimum amount needed to make people behave? Probably not, but something IS interesting here.

Right now it's just people shouting...I hope your next trick is to figure out how to turn it into conversations. Suggestion: Please don't be tempted to just rewrite it or start from scratch. Iterate from this version because 1) it would be faster and 2) this one already has some magic in it.

Thanks for sharing!
Please let me know what you think we should improve to support that workflow better.

Anyway, I think my examples are still valid, it is harder to mention issues and you can't push (write) commits on forks since your have read permissions.
Thanks for the Kernighan reference. It is probably the single most important reason behind the ignorant meme in tech/programming circles that Object Pascal / Delphi (not Pascal!) is an obsolete language. :-(
Let's add Grace Hopper, who created the first compiler and the first human-readable programming language (COBOL). Doesn't get more huge than that.
Free speech does not guarantee you a soap box to stand on. If nobody anywhere is willing to give you a soap box that's your problem. Now there is an argument to be made that speech isn't truly free if you have nowhere to say it. However even with the laudable goal of ensuring all speech as a home somewhere, that still would not obligate any private person or organization to supporting it.

There is no public unowned property on the Internet.

If you downvote this comment it probably means you disagree with the sentiment but still choose to suppress this speech to express that disagreement.
Recommendations on Branching
If you're one of the people who agree with the behavior of FPH and many of the more vile comments about the CEO, then you're part of the worst.
>>We're talking about men and women whose lives are being affected and worry for their safety every day

I was reading /r/FPH on regular basis for few weeks before it was closed as I've found it entertaining even if distasteful. I think you have very skewed view of what it was:

-posting identifying personal info was forbidden/removed by the mods

-linking to other parts of Reddit was a no-no

-I can't remember seeing anything threatening on it there was no discussion about threats or doing bad things to specific people; just over the top venting

That is unless you understand "safety" as it is too often interpreted today: hearing not politically correct opinions.
If you think the decision has anything to do with removing harassing subreddit try visiting /r/coontown and think why it's still online.
There are also accessibility reasons for not being able to watch a video. Let alone dedicating the time to it.
Yup. Developers writing about small performance differences between JavaScript frameworks, or the antics of this language over that one. It's gotten to the point where people are actually choosing friends and enemies over what framework they use, what programming language they prefer, or what tools they like.

It's becoming a bit counterproductive. I wrote a post about this because of how often I've come across it that's worth reading: http://room4debate.com/debate/tech-stacks-frameworks-languag....
SF: Project mirroring policies will be revisited, existing mirrors removed
As a nine-to-fiver, it makes it hella easy to be frugal since I have to plan a half hour block of time a week in advance if I ever want to buy something in person. I do a lot more research and make sure I get the best price, and buy less stuff overall. Not so good for the shops though.
You should be made illegal.
Agreed. Most people take care of their "sleep debt" on the weekends. That's partly why they are called weekends after all.
Either build it anyway, or join them, or sit back and wait until you can use their thing. It depends on what your reasons for wanting to build it are.
That assumes the latest info from science is right. Maybe the earlier info was right, and this is the incorrect interpretation.

Either way it does get frustrating though.
There no such decision had place, one which would be against implementation of DirectX.
From the other side, DX could be just taken and installed.
It definitely matters, but our point was that it's not an impenetrable barrier. Stanford/Harvard are still highly represented, but so are some lesser known state schools.

Agreed, and I should make it clear that I don't believe a private hosting company should have to serve any client they would rather not serve. Personally, if I were going into the hosting business I would set a policy up front that we're not in the business of moderating content, just because I think taking responsibility for it would be a nightmare. But I'm not in the hosting business and they should be able to do as they wish. Having done this, though, they will be obligated to continue policing the content on their system, or run the risk of being accused of bias.

Never discount the threat of the human element in hacking.

Kevin Mitnick was a successful hacker due to his skills in social engineering.

Posters may discount this "hack"--but think about the policies and training--if any--your company has in place to prevent this type of social engineering.
That doesn't work in practice, you are always going to need to "fast-track" a bug fix, skipping develop (which has code you don't want to deploy).
And those of us who wouldn't have thought too-much about it, will now definitely not use this hosting provider.
Someone will always be either building what you'd like to, or chasing after you with a competitive product trying to eat your lunch.

Any market worth being in, will have plenty of competition early on.

Primarily you have to ask yourself if you can add value to the segment you're talking about. If you have something worth-while to offer customers / users. Such questions remain regardless of the competition or lack thereof. If you've got something valuable to offer, build it. There is always an angle to take against a seemingly superior competitor, whether that's on price, features, support, customization, ease of use, et al.
True I thought he did apologize and Mozilla supported GLBT rights and same sex marriages. But it was not enough to end the boycott. I could be mistaken.
https://brendaneich.com/2014/03/inclusiveness-at-mozilla/

When I attended the University of Phoenix in 2005, we were taught that to support same sex marriages because it would become legal in most states and we'd get in trouble if we didn't. That GLBT people might be key employees and that diversity is a good thing. So if you have religious beliefs against gay marriage, support gay marriage anyway.

Eich has religious beliefs against gay marriage and donated to a charity that tried to strike down a gay marriage law in California. Those donations were made public.

We're going to see more of this as people hold religious beliefs that don't believe in gay marriage. Many religions are going to have to change.
Forgive me, I was very biased toward Bay Area.
I don't see why there has to be "this is harmful" and "this is a better way".

I've used all kinds of branching models... I've used just a master branch and you commit directly to master. I've used full git-flow.

I think the branching model you use is dependent on the people and the project. But really no matter which model I've used it seemed to me to be fine... And if it wasn't fine, we extended it to meet our requirements.
Just another data point, but using Safari Version 8.0.6 (10600.6.3), and I didn't see this issue. It worked as one would expect.
