The do, frequently. I'm told daily that America did something. As a Canadian, we just accept that you guys have no idea how continents or countries work.

Wasn't microsofts version Groove become SkyDrive (now OneDrive)?

It is, but it's a far more nuanced version. Lack of funds is more leadership to blame. Getting sued by a patent troll, is what we all hope our side projects avoid long enough to obtain sufficient funding, so we can pay the crooks if need be.

Son of a bitch, thanks for that first tip. But this speaks to a greater problem of feature discoverability on these devices.

I'm confused. Terraforming is 1000+ years away, if we are ever even able to do it at all. I'm unclear of what you mean by 'small levels' because either you are terraforming, or you aren't. You have to create an atmosphere, you need to create a planets worth or water, you need to inject a crap ton of CO2 into the atmosphere to create the material plants will use as building blocks, to create the O2. All of this is millennia away. We've been non stop injecting CO2 into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial era, and that (while a bit of an issue today), isn't nearly enough carbon to begin to terraform a planet.

But for genetically modifying stuff, we're doing really well on that track. Most of the tech needed for designer babies is here. The issues with it aren't the tech existing, but our willingness to create massive numbers of defective offspring before we get a viable glow in the dark human. It's not the tech that's lacking, only our appetite for failed runs and a severe distaste for side-effects. But that's proven to work, CRISPR has already proven to be able to make glow in the dark pigs, so it's a matter of refinement. We don't have the slightest clue about terraforming. Just ideas at this point.

I have 20 years of experience with SQL Server, and zero experience with PostgreSQL. You aren't the target market, but I certainly am.

And it would help the applicants, if the bashing is justified.

Great examples. I was completely ignorant of the great Chinese famine, and didn't realize how high the death tolls of the other events you mentioned were. Thanks for educating me.

"the danger that about 20 million people in four countries will suffer famine in the coming months, and that hundreds of thousands of children will starve to death."

This does not qualify as clickbait.

How much of a concern is this? Do we now need to use SHA512 for everything, or is this more of an academic vulnerability that we won't see in the wild?

So if our sun were replaced by Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse would engulf all the inner planets. That's huge. It's hard to fathom a star that big.

How is angular making the web slower. An angular project can sit somewhere in the 130kb range, with lighter frameworks like vue sitting at 30kb. These are smaller than most images or gifs used on the web. So the trade-off is one image on your page, or a robust RIA experience, with much more maintainable code. If you build it correctly, you're decreasing the amount of bytes on the wire significantly when using client side frameworks, over re-rendering each and every page on the server for every interaction. I also maintain a large vanilla javascript application that was written before I arrived, and the javascript weighs in at almost 5MB, and we have a general no touch policy on it because of how fragile the vanilla javascript is. It was poorly written, but even a poorly written vue app, would come in at much less than the 5mb JS. I just don't buy this as the reason the web is slow.

I'm not saying this shouldn't have consequences. What I'm saying is this is far too nuanced to just say "lock up the CEO"

But what law specifically was broken? Should we have a law that punishes the CEO for data breeches? Is a CEO responsible if his experts recommended the practice? Is the CEO responsible if their staff went around and did this without conscent? That seems rife for abuse. Don't like your CEO, leak some data and have him go to jail.

When I worked for a telco, you could easily call the voice mail main line, and then just use options to leave a voicemail in any mailbox. Easy peasy.

“We have accomplished our mission: keep the information simple, easy to understand, language-free and top line.”

I find this amusing since the first icon is "kcal"... The information is perhaps too simple, as none of these really lets me know what they mean. Without a legend, I wouldn't know what they mean, and if your icons need a legend, then they really aren't doing their job effectively.

yeoman is pretty good. It gives the option of interactive or command line. Reasonable use of colour, with some layout formatting. Dynamic options.

Everyone makes mistakes. This one hurts, but they aren't trying to sweep it under the rug.

Honestly, trying to stay current on all the new technologies is causing me anxiety. After 20+ years at this, I always felt I was one step behind. But now I feel I'm 3 steps behind. I can't imagine what it's like to be a developer with a wife and kids. I just couldn't' stay on top of half what I'm able to do now.

Don't blame me for some of those things, blame my clients. I can only suggest so many times that something is bad practice, without getting fired.

Fair point. When in the office, we talkt about SELinux, it's always in the Red Hat/Fedora ecosystem. So I conflated the two.

It probably isn't with sufficient training. Taking a crack at it as a weekend project, it was non-trivial getting a decent i3 desktop up and running without a lot of cruft. Much of what you expect to just work, just doesn't. To be fair, I'm more native in debian or Arch to some degree, so that probably had a lot to do with my difficulties. Regardless, it made me give up and just practice better security practices for my debian installs until I have time to dedicate to a further investigation.

I think that's pretty consistent with the One Windows marketing. Personally, I'd rather have a tool that works with some of the features I want, rather than none of the features I want, because they're taking 5 years to get to feature parity. But that's just me.

I think all three should be used. But this isn't the question being addressed, which is whether to use tractors at all...

So, say goodby to google? No thanks. I don't have money to pay for every service I want. Advertising allows people with no means to use the internet, and this value is worth more to society as a whole than ads. Yes let's kill malicious ads, but throwing the baby out with the bath water isn't good sense.

We don't own Githubs servers any more than we own Apples. This statement is a falsehood.

If they are just like projects, then call them projects. You're using music and video names for paper analog components. You're spending a lot of time defending the naming here. I'd recommend taking notes, and changing the naming. Also, add some mechanism where I can just hit a + button or something, and can start adding a note right away. I don't want to have to immediately organize all notes into a draconian structure. I just need to quickly record something for later use. I feel that should be a primary function of a notes app. Pretty is secondary to function, and the functionality of this is complex and obscure.

Regarding your edit; how so?

That's the very definition of anecdotal, but yes, any programmer worth their salt should be able to program in any language. Many programmers however, aren't.

Proving bad faith for lobbying is impossible. TurboTax would argue that the simple filing would allow the government to stiff citizens by not taking full advantage of their potential tax credits, etc... Proving bad faith would require fraud, and I don't see how there is any indication here of that.
