Too obvious, I think. There were always a small number of women who had mastered Greek and Latin--Thomas More taught his daughter Margaret those languages, and one of her or anyway his female descendants, translated his Latin works in to English. In Samuel Johnson's time, a woman brought out a well regarded translation of Tacitus.

Originally the purpose of Latin and Greek in the European curriculum was to prepare students for the professions, including the clerical, which were closed to women. So why would the schoolmasters teach them Latin and Greek.

Grunt existed when gulp was new, and it had a pretty strong ecosystem. Gulp was an alternate that solved the same problem in a different way, and it got pretty popular. Because of it, the next version of Grunt is totally different and uses ideas from Gulp.

I find it disappointing how some people have such an allergic reaction to others trying something new. If you don't like it, don't use it.
It's not crypto. It's a game. The whole thing is global mutable state. ( https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/blob/master/linuxdoom-1.... ). On the original DOS/4GW version, I don't think there were even any synchronisation primitives available.

DOOM was one of those games that relied on stretching the hardware to its limits to produce previously-unseen visual effects. The only thing that mattered was getting pixels on the screen as fast as possible.

Edit: no, of course there weren't any mutex primitives in DOS/4GW. It's a single-process single-thread bare metal environment. You have to realise that, in 1993 PC gaming, shared memory multithreading was simply not something that developers would ever encounter. It had no concievable advantages as you had only one CPU, not even a graphics accelerator. Games generally wouldn't multitask either; again, this predates consumer availability of Win32 and certainly is several years before DirectX.

From a company's perspective, just because one person gets a market rate that is higher than the rest of the team, the entire team can't simply be given a raise. While this sort of largesse may work for Google & FB, I doubt it would for those companies that grow in single digit to low teen % per annum.

Also, if the person given this raise is not amongst your top performers and now ends up out earning the rest of team, it ends up affecting overall team morale. Your star performers then start to feel short changed and think they have to leave to get a raise.

In all seriousness, it is more than likely a flag:

User.IsDeleted = true

Or

User.Status = Status.Deleted (or Status.Deactivated)

Facebook allow users to deactivate their accounts, which can then be reactivated. Facebook users can also delete their accounts. Facebook say that this is permanent:

When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from Facebook.
You should only delete your account if you are certain you never want
to reactivate it.

Permanently deleted still doesn't mean deleted. It just means that you can't recover it. Facebook have never publicly stated what their deletion process is.

Is it logical or physical?

Since Facebook keep anonymous profiles, I wouldn't be surprised if deleted accounts just get migrated to anonymous profiles which they can still profit from. That's what I'd do if I was Facebook.

I suspect that a more reasonable explanation is that the phonemes used while singing are more universal than those used in normal speech, and so everyone perceives singing to be closer to their own accent.

I have seen that hypothesis in two other comments as well, but I seriously doubt the focus on meat.

CDs and DVDs have horrible shelf life because they all use organic dyes. Some Blu-Rays do too, but you can still buy Blu-Rays with metallic dyes which should work for decades(panasonic BD-Rs are guaranteed for 50 years).

In fact, do you remember the very first, early writable CDs? They all were blue on the bottom - that's because they used a metallic dye as well, I imagine 99% of those discs will be perfectly readable today.

VPN services having their clients use a 3rd party server is completely irresponsible. "We sell a privacy service. Oh, but that said, we send your DNS queries to a company that logs and monetizes them".

Fortunately, there are VPN services that take what they pretend to do a bit more seriously. And who know how to run their own DNS servers.

Some even provide DNSCrypt-enabled DNS servers (public, or for their customers) in order to mitigate leaks (ovpn.to, ipredator.se, and I think cryptostorm).
If I write a bunch of code in a macro, or a function that happens to get inlined -- much of its code may be irrelevant in the specific context into which it was inlined.

I don't want to duplicate the code for every single context it is used in -- so I'm happy the compiler can throw away pieces of the code that aren't relevant in each inlined context.

OTOH, for ordinary non-inlined code, I really want a warning if my code is thrown away or optimized in a surprising manner.

Indeed, gcc and clang try to behave according to the two ideas above. gcc violates this terribly with its removal of dead code warnings -- which may be eliminated but no warnings are generated.
This doesn't address why not just leave it unconfigured.

These choices are the reason for the criticism on systemd. It tries to do too much in too short. It seems to me that their moto is “code first, ask questions later”.

Another example is their choice of words for the mount units. Instead of standard industry terms (source, destination, device, directory, mountpoint, path) they chose to use the words “what” (for source/device) and “where” (for directory/mountpoint).

This is a very distorted picture presented of kdbus. Like most systemd-hating posts, it focusses more on supposed personalities and "drama" than actual technology.

kdbus is a new feature. It is normal that it takes time to develop and has bugs and issues along the way. Linus specifically requested that it be enabled in systemd so that it starts to get more testing and exposure.

Constructing a grand conspiracy around kdbus is ludicrous.
I use most of my time thinking about what I'll type instead of actually typing it. I have no idea how fast I do it.

However I now have to use a QWERTY MAC keyboard after like all my life on windows AZERTY keyboard and oh boy I was slow at first. I'm still slow for a couple of letters or a lot of "signs", I just have to think where it is on the keyboard. So hard to change.

while I also rather like economy friendly governments, it is pure logic that if you ignore the poor, they will come knocking on your door in one way or the other...

Took a look at Locust before and did not find it as useful or generic as ApacheBench or Httperf (by HP). Locust felt a little too cutesy and high-level for most of the work I wanted to do - which was pretty simple.

Furthermore there were a lot of timing inaccuracies between the same test runs. It certainly could have been a fault in our code, but ab and Httperf seemed to give a lot more reliable and useful timing information. And they are just simpler to use. For one, not being browserbased can be nice when you are trying to iterate quickly.

Not trying to sell anyone against Locust, but at the least, I recommend you take a look at ab and Httperf to make sure you don't need something a whole lot simpler.
I'm not so sure their economy is still as weak as it once was. My impression is that China really has its shit together, more than any other country. Their economy isn't as big as the US yet, but it's catching up and maturing. I think the time will come when China will insist on dominating its own sphere of influence.

But the market says I'm worth twice as much now as I was five years ago.

> shitty servers as default are better than none

No, absolutely not. Defaults that can cause subtle errors are worse than a program abort with an error message telling you to fill in a configuration value. Especially after reminding that Google servers run "a non standard concept of time" (what does that even mean?). It is not a reasonable default by any stretch of the imagination.
That kind of flag wouldn't be enough to satisfy EU privacy directives, the comment you're replying to is all about.
However, I have seen many implementations allow for time shifting - ie the code that was generated in the past 30 seconds, this 30 seconds and the next 30 seconds are all valid.

Hence one minute. This is also why I referred to the RFC.

The only way that would work is if you were actively watching the captured credentials and attempted to login right away. That to me would be a targeted attack rather than some random phish.

"Fads" are only un-useful when you don't understand them. But once you go over the edge from rejection to application, the fad state desists and you end up with a useful, cutting edge tool.

There are very few fads which persist long unless they are understood and used. So I would say that the "fad"-gadget'ization of our technology world is a subjectively-borne reality.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it - some do. That's why its out there in the first place: someone had a use for it.
The funny thing is, returning it just to discard it constitutes "use", apparently.

Imagine a system that works as follows. You can have people assassinated. In order to do so, however, you need to fill in a hundred-page form with exhaustive details of your personal finances, your medical history, and the contents of your computers' hard drives; and then you need to play six sets of tennis against a strong player and win at least two; and then you need to play a 7-game chess match against a holder of FIDE's International Master title, and win at least two. Oh, and then there's a fee of $100k. Once you've done this, your application takes six months to be processed. Every week during this time, you get a callback and are asked intrusive personal questions about your sex life, your religion, and how you have voted in past elections. And then, at the end of the six months, the person named on the form gets assassinated by government agents.

Can we agree that (1) this would be a "massive bureaucratic battle", and (2) the bar would be "incredibly high" ... but (3) this shouldn't reassure us much, because jumping through the bureaucratic hoops and meeting those difficult criteria doesn't actually constitute good reason for having your target assassinated?

Your comments about the FISA court seem a little like this. Let's stipulate that getting approval is a tiresome process, and that there are difficult criteria to meet. That doesn't in any way guarantee that it only happens in cases where it's actually a good idea.
