Seconded. The most important feat you need to accomplish is being able to spin up new instances/environments on a whim. Once you have that, provisioning, testing, failover, scaling and high availability get much easier. Vagrant is decent in this role; the only caveat is that the majority of developers tend to never reset their environment and let the cruft accumulate. It's more of a people problem than a tech challenge, though: if your company culture is "if it works, don't touch it", then you have way bigger problems than choosing the right virtualization solution.
Thanks! Only once, and not at a site i would put legit info on. Not that i ever do really haha.

Useful though. I doubt thats all in reality unfourtanetly.
We view this type of censorship as offensive because the word "retard" doesn't carry much weight. Nobody would be fighting for this man's freedom of speech if he littered the code with the word "nigger" or "lynching"

One of the executives probably has a son or daughter who is a retard. Makes sense why such censorship can occur. When you own a product, your bias will inevitably saturate into the product. Having a son or daughter who's a retard makes this bias especially strong.

Personally I agree that "retard" shouldn't be censored because I hate censoring in general. But I also agree that "nigger" shouldn't be touched either. Defending freedom of speech means defending the right for other people to have dissenting opinions, this includes opinions that are stupid, racist and bigoted.
That could easily be a description of the US or the UK; neither of which you'd associate with "socialism"."

You're right on the first count, but not on the second. Both the US and the UK are strongly socialist, with policies including progressive taxation, income tax, socialised medicine, socialised education, socialised welfare (both personal and corporate), etc.
When you work in an actual office with several dozen machines besides you, interference becomes important.

Also, the profit margin on those adapters is pretty astounding.
It's not expensive, it's inconvenient. Being able to quickly jack in to a gigabit network and not have to worry about fiddling about with wifi keys and unreliable speeds is something you should get with a high end laptop like an MBP.

Even better, write a test with a name that describes its functionality.
I'd also like to know bur the release schedule is not synchronised with the desktop Windows 10 at all.
This. I work at a CDN and there's a particular switch model that we have a fair number of doing this. It was incredibly hard for the network team and vendor to track down. It's because one of the internal data paths was not error checked (i.e. hw design and layout problem). We're somewhat working around it with application layer stuff, but are moving off that switch and vendor as fast as capex allows. It wasn't a bottom of the barrel vendor either.
But that is just fiddeling with the symptoms, not doing anything with the root of the problem. It is the same with webcomponents, they're building on such a shaky ground.

I like the ideas around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UTWAEJlhww instead.
Bizarre High-Tech Kidnapping
Basic implementation of Reddit's Hot Order or something similar is pretty straightforward :)

The most likely explanation is they sent her a message saying pseudonyms are not allowed, and asking for her real name. She replies something like 'My real name is XYZ, here is ID to prove I am a real person, but I do NOT wish to use that name, please continue to call me ABC on the site' but Facebook simply went ahead and changed her name from ABC to XYZ against her wishes. No secret data mining, information collection or machine learning required.
It would be good to see road signs displaying this information in real time. It should also be a required feature in cars to show excaclty what pollution they are emitting, along with common health effects. People need to be able to make an informed choice about driving.
Retina models ditched the Ethernet port, so 2012 is when that happened.
Slippery slope doesn't have anything to do with this. My point was that societal standards & expectation shouldn't end with the government. Yes it's not required, but that's irrelevant.

People are paying for these corporations through tax breaks, subsidies & other governmental projects (Tesla for example).
Indeed. Wait until you have to deal with an audit. Apparently, even on microsoft's advice on licensing, we still owed them about £50,000 of missing licenses after an audit...

Most of this was down to a SQL Server upgrade where core and CPU terminology was changed.

At least since the mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina (which is what I have.)
Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. If you bought Windows 7 and have it on disc you can keep using it, even without installing any updates, ever! Then you can continue enjoying IE7, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Centre - all of which you paid for. But if you want to upgrade to a new version which doesn't have those "features" - then it's your choice. It's not mandatory, nobody is shoving anything in your face.
> one of the main reasons that patent trolling is so successful is that the cost of settling is smaller even than the cost of winning a suit.

Is the underlying reason for this strategy the low costs of settlement, or the extremely high costs of lawsuits? What if the value of a patent really is only a few thousand dollars?

Note that this very tactic is used by big companies to avoid licensing valid and useful patents owned by smaller entities. Licensing discussions often begin with the potential licensor saying "sue me", or these days, outright suing you first with a Declaratory Judgement. Can an individual afford to take on a large company? Trolls appear to simply be a symptom of this disparity in the market.
The pricing is exactly the same, nor was the rationale ever to provide an edition for people who don't need a DVD player. You can still download and install those components freely after installing the OS.
I've been using (and carting) a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter since I bought my first Retina in 2012 and it's really not all that bad. If you're constantly using it daily then carrying it around isn't a huge ask.
You're right. This is just like the Holocaust.
But still not perfectly safe. I'm not sure how much power a F-16 puts out but when I was working on space surveilance radars we were very careful not to be pointing our beam where people might be.

I don't agree, there are still enough people who will gain from it. Everyone who wants to learn, everyone who wants to give back, etc. that is not a waste at all, quite the opposite.
This flow chart explain things that are hard to grasp in words.

Dan Roam's Back of a Napkin is a good guide to thinking and communicating in this visual way. You can get quite a long way with the freebies on his site, but it's worth shelling out for the whole book.

When I studied the diagram, I found myself running through an imaginary scenario in my head. The Overview text makes it hard to do this. If you don't create a diagram and want to explain a process clearly, don't explain the components -- follow an example action through the process, and your readers will grasp it much better.
> North Korean and South Korean are completely different dialects, with different orthography and spelling. Bigger differences than different spellings in English. I can't see a dictionary like that being of any use to his family.

I'm actually studying Korean right now, and one of the textbooks I'm using relies on the North Korean dialect. I can attest that the differences are minor, and are mostly limited to things comparable to 'color' in AE and 'colour' BE.

This is basically it. There's a thing I've noticed, I like to call it the "inverted reason list". It's an upside-down ordered list of reasons to do something, delivered to a skeptical or hostile audience. The list is ordered such that reasons the audience will like are delivered first, as if they are the most important, and the reasons the audience will hate are delivered at the end, as a side-thought.

"and oh....it turns out open offices will save us $5m a year in facilities costs." is usually delivered at the end, when nobody is paying attention anymore, because it was preceded by "free snacks at every 25th cube!" and "will allow you to configure seating to keep your team near you"

For work that requires lots of talking (or not lots of deep thinking), they work "ok", but for knowledge work, they're basically the worst idea ever conceived outside of sending all your coders to rock concerts all work day and wondering why nothing is getting done.

Where I work, most people get or split offices, but we can work in a few other places, including an open work area. Most people hate working there because it will inevitably have somebody on speaker phone having an argument with their health insurance over an unpaid bill, and that conversation will go on for 2 or 3 weeks solid. Appeals to management have basically been ignored, and now we're getting ready to move to a new facility that's all open space.
That comment is just a way of saying 'they' are not like 'me' (but trying to make it sound general).

Facebook, led by a (former) dev, has gone all-in on open plan offices - which is a direct counterpoint. That people at the top call the shots is tautological.

Web developers have been shown to be incapable of acting maturely (see http://blog.lmorchard.com/2015/07/22/the-verge-web-sucks/). They should be locked down until they can grow up.
It's lowering barriers to trade, making it easier for goods made in one country to be sold in another. One way it does that is by harmonizing regulations, so you don't need to make different versions for different countries, or pay for lawyers to explain compliance laws separately for each country.

Any idea what would happen then if you skip the upgrade 7/8 -> 10 and start with clean install? You need a key anyway? The same key as for Windows 7?
I don't find it very different from having the "Windows" brand shoved in my face with Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Internet Explorer (formerly) etc. or the "Microsoft" brand shoved in my face with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Internet Explorer (formerly)... the OS is made by Microsoft, I expect to see mentions to Microsoft's properties and trademarks.
The guy is clearly over the hill and his old glory is over. He made a bet to chase and document every silly and ridiculous quirks in legacy browsers and established a name in this 'field' during the Great Web Depression 2000 - 2005 now that these days are gone and no one is interested to listen to what IE6 or Microsoft dictates on the community and we're living in a true Renaissance and booming expansion, his desperation and frustration with losing bets and falling behind his peers are showing but his phone outrage and indignation are not fooling anyone.

He was asking for it by shunning modern and progress in web development and instead endorsing everything that's reactionary and antiquated in the field and his latest outcry hopefully the last would be just a blip on the radar and we would be moving forward nevertheless.

Artists don't get paid, piracy or no-piracy. The middlemen get the majority of the profits in the MPAA-protected mafia industry.

Putting tools in the hands of artists that provide them with the ability to contact many, many fans, and be assured of that relationship without interference by a 3rd party, is quite a valuable goal. Thankfully I'm not the only one with that aim.
Linus Torvalds responds to Ars about diversity, niceness in open source
Lets imagine you check your email 4 times a day instead. In an 8 hour workday, you would check it around once every 2 hours. So the absolute maximum time your client would wait for a reply would be 2 hours during working hours. Would your current clients find this unreasonable?

There are not many issues that justify a "NEED A REPLY THIS VERY SECOND" response. You should find that most of your clients aren't sitting at their inbox awaiting your reply, but also get on with their other work. For emergency situations, an emergency number to call if they need a response might be the answer, but stress it's use only for dire emergencies that are costing them real money if not fixed immediately.

This means you can have dedicated time focused on emails, allowing you to form better replies. Cutting back to 3 times a day would be even better. One when you start, once at your lunch break, then once at the end of the day. With an 8 hour work day, 3 times a day is still only a 2 and a half hour maximum wait time.

You can self-host git repo. It's quite storage- and transport-agnostic - you can host it over HTTP, SSH, NFS, SMB/CIFS and even FTP if you're into perverse things.

Every commit has your name and email address, and if you want authentication you can sign those with your public key.

And, well, you can send and receive patches using any means you want. The patch is just a text (usually) file.
You're right that it's more about not having it with you when you need it. However it does add up.

£25 for Ethernet and then another £25 if you want FireWire too. And £25 for VGA and £25 for DVI (though to be fair you can get this from the HDMI port). But you can only have 2 of these plugged in at a time. Other laptops of this price come with all the adaptors in the box if the ports aren't integrated.

I like having the option of Ethernet available easily. For example, BT have been having big internet issues for the last few days and it's handy to rule out the WiFi. Also with a previous ISP (sadly not with BT) the WiFi was the limiting factor and I had to plug in to get full speed. Then the HDD was the limiting factor!
This is why I applaud browser vendors who are ceasing to use prefixes, and instead hiding experimental features behind flags.
I'm guessing it's because airlines are moving toward just having standard power jacks. In fact, I can't remember the last plane I flew on that actually had the power jack the airline adapter needed.

Mobile Safari's Performance Is Not the Problem
Agreed. Apple does this all the time when presenting new products. Of course it's the best/lightest/fastest version of the product. Why would they release a new version that is worse than the previous?
Eh, seems to me there are lots of situations where censorship by private companies is a problem.

For example, if Chinese banks / communication companies / whatever refuse to do business with human rights groups, that's a bad thing even if the companies acted without being explicitly ordered to by the government.

And just because newspapers and TV stations are privately owned, doesn't mean it's a good thing if they all decide not to publish negative stories about Qatar/HSBC/whatever due to a profitable advertising deal. Such self-censorship, if it happened widely, would be deleterious to the independent checks and balances our democracy relies on.

Now, I agree with you that it's not censorship if Joe's Childrens Books declines to publish my manuscript "Best Of 4Chan Shock Images And Racist Jokes" - but I don't think it makes sense to ignore censorship by private companies all together, as sometimes such censorship can be deeply problematic.
But what about people who arrive at the site next week, and want to see the best of what they missed?

One factor of open offices that is seldom counted, but remains very important, is "fitting the organization to an image". If you're bringing bankers or investors or other external parties through, what is more "impressive": A floor full of hard working bees, a buzz of energy filling the air, whiteboards full of complex diagrams (that probably haven't been erased in months if not years) and quirky and crazy "personalizations" on all of the desks, or walking down a hall of quiet closed doors. Or, worse still (and the #1 reason why many companies don't allow remote work), no office really at all because everyone is everywhere.

That "show off the empire" thing is absolutely a function of decisions. I was recently part of such a decision process where a group was looking to become startup-y, and cargo culting the media image of what such organizations look like reigned supreme.

Reading that the patents were about SSL and RC4, I had an evil thought. A patent troll with these patents would actually help make the Internet a safer place.

Companies that are still using those should be sued for not securing their consumers' information properly. Failing that, this would be an even better way of achieving the same thing.

Oh wow -- this is actually a comment which IMO points out the real issue here.

This sort of censorship/filter/whatever-you-call-it is bad because it add way too much value to words. So it's not about what is actually said or the context but only about words.

By that logic it's completely PC if someone is actually offended but in such a way that no bad words are used. But as soon as a Bad Word (TM) is used -- bam.

This is really really dishonest, shallow, and disgusting.
Your 100% correct saying centuries of music all labeled as classical is the first problem, BUT I would say the sub-genres are fairly strong. Your example for Romantic period is almost 100 years of music from 1820 to World War I.

Jazz streaming is much better but that has a very much shorter music period and clearer sub-genres.

THE PROBLEM: Live Classical is amazing and recorded Classical is meh. Same thing with Gospel music, most Jazz and Opera. If you have never heard a 75+ Gospel Choir live you really are missing an awesome experience and same can be said of Blues.

Most modern music sounds the same or MUCH BETTER recorded. Think EDM, pop music (That is the reason why most performances are more karaoke ie No back up band or even better no band and lip syncing).

Also, add total hot desking to this for another bump down the productivity scale. Then, to make things worse, they usually oversubscribe the people to desks because at any one time quite a few people would be in meetings or not in the office. Net result, huge saving on rent.
