... the programs that all started long before he was in office?

He's at fault for keeping them in place, but that's about it.

I'm sitting here having to refresh the page every 5 mins because it won't update, or it's lost a toolbar button.

Yeah, I assume you mean the manual refresh button that has gone missing? Pisses me off too when I know there is new mail.

You can click "Inbox" again to force a refresh. Still sucks, but better than reloading the entire page forcibly.

People who aren't owners can't normally add labels.

This just doesn't mean anything to us given that these issues have been talked about for much, much, much longer than a single month. Why is a random GitHubber telling us this and not someone in a more authoritative position? It seems painfully obvious to tell people you're working on it, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to worry when you hear literally /nothing/.

Yes, this!

NixOS is great, but if someone pulls the repos for the source packages of somethings in NixOS... you're just completely out of luck.

But if you know the hash, and someone in IPFS still has it available....

Yeah, if they're talking about what I think they're talking about, yes, something like LINQ could be implemented with macros (compiler plugin variant, I think) in Rust.

I like writing Rust for more reasons that CPU efficiency.

In fact, that's behind: strong memory safety, Option/no-null (probably lumps in with "strong memory safety") and of course generics and the type system at large.

The speed is honestly a nice benefit. (I'm not being sassy, I don't have speed intensive applications and still reach for Rust).

Oy vey folks, why not Google LVFS to see why it's interesting.

There's a new CLI tool and dbus api for discovering and installing firmware updates that are securely hosted by redhat. There is also native support in GNOME Software for surfacing the updates and making them available.

This means on a Dell server, you literally type: `fwupdmgr update` and all possible firmware is updated.

So literally every comment in the thread so far is missing the point. This doesn't require shelling in, putting it in the UEFI partition, orchestrating your infrastructure to reboot the servers into the EFI partition to install and then let it reboot back to Linux. You just type `fwupdmgr update`.

Wow, just had a nostalgic moment. I remember QBasic. I remember my elementary school having a book about Basic and being able to do some of the example games and apps. And a few not working. BASIC/QBASIC differences?

But mostly I remember complaining to my dad. QBasic "compiled" to some intermediate that required QBasic to run... I remember never being happy with that.

I thought I had eventually found out... but QB64 only supports XP, and I know that I was doing QBasic on something much older than that... Maybe older versions of QB64 supported earlier versions of Windows.

anyway, a nice little 5 minute trip down memory lane.

Or finding out that my Chromebook Pixel 3 has USB Type-C, but not Thunderbolt 3... which means I can't have an eGPU.

And with the Razer Blade + Core set to actually make eGPUs a big thing... I'm pretty disappointed. I'll probably end up with a Razer Blade sooner rather than later.

There are multiple patches for tmux floating around. One of them is even correct, if you want 24bit tmux. My arch and nix machines are both running it.

I get your point in these threads, but unless I'm misunderstanding, who cares about stolen, potentially undeleted Amazon creds? Revoke the key in the portal and be done with it?

Given who I'm replying to, I'm assuming that I'm missing some key piece of the puzzle.

(And I totally acknowledge it doesn't change the circumstances of what either side has done, I'm just curious)

Can someone detail how widely Juniper/ScreenOS is deployed in the wild?

The solution isn't to block an entire service.

Oh really? What else are you supposed to do when a startup flush with cash decides to ignore the laws of your nation, exactly?

I'm sorry, I've scoffed at other valuations and investments, but I'm just completely beside myself. Why does a chat room need "apps"?

It's kind of weird actually. There's two sorts of people that defend these announcements, I've found:

The first thinks that they are going to build an "amazing" platform some day and that they'll follow this model for "growing revenue". So of course they defend it.

And then there's the second group that has some "great idea" who plans to build on Slack's platform. Personally, I look forward to 2 years of stories about how Slack was unfair to them, or changed the rules on them, or broke an API. Or didn't review fast enough, or any of the other complaints that pop up monthly about other closed platforms.

Huh? In the AMA they hinted that the thing can boot other OSes.

Whatever the convergence plan is, Pixel C is the test hardware. The bootloader bits are in the ChromeOS tree. It uses Coreboot.

It's a ChromeOS device and I suspect it's future will include a return to its roots.

ARC in Chrome will be a better way forward for Android than trying to fix all of Android's insidious problems on the "desktop" and making mobile Chrome more fully featured. It just seems painfully obvious that Chrome is going to win.

It's better tech all around.

"The container tools I'm working on are completely declarative."

Tears of joy stream down my face.

I like Google Voice and I use the functionality. Should every single Firefox user have a Google Voice extension pre-installed?

It's just painfully stupid in every way. If it was a built in extension that by-default talked to a Mozilla hosted open source Pocket clone, we might be having a different conversation.... but I'd still be annoyed.

Just as annoyed as I am that Chromium (yes, Chromium, not Chrome) comes with a god damn Google Docs extension.

Even for weird little side projects, it's always feels safer to me to get changes upstreamed than keep carrying around "special snowflake" vendored copies that diverge.

And they're still the only one that works worth a damn on Linux and Windows. So sadly, I'm still using them.

Though, I've never, ever had a perf problem with it.

Huh? Then they're just fields and not properties, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say. And there are numerous reasons that Properties are preferable to Fields.

Unless someone else can help me, I think this is really bad advice for a C# developer.

The tool is really well done and impressive. Yes, it exists to work around gaps in GitHub's functionality, but it's not like we're going to self host git repos and use gitolite...

Yes. I did this. And then the day after graduating had an extreme realization that I had no idea why I was doing anything. I'd been on autopilot for the last 9 years. Ran myself into the ground in highschool to graduate top of the class. Killed myself in college to graduate with honors and have a job before graduating.

And then I graduated and realized that the next 40 years were in front of me. I didn't know what I wanted for myself. I had "achieved it!". I had graduated and had a job that would secure me more money than I would know what to do with, but I didn't know how to make myself happy.

I didn't know how to pace myself. I still don't. When I get an exciting project at work, I pour my god damn soul into it. And I love it. And then three months later I come up for air and realize that a word outside of my computer exists... and then I spend a week re-normalizing and getting to the point where I could walk outside and appreciate fresh air instead of thinking about where I needed to be in X + 10 minutes.

Some of it's on me. I grew up in a high-strung household with parents that are currently having anxiety problems because retirement is in the future and they don't know "what to do".

rantier part: Fuck the older generations that shit talk on millenials. I KNOW you weren't working your asses off like this in highschool and college, and I'm sick of hearing you toot your own horn because your mind is addled and you've forgotten your teen and twenties' years.

I still don't know how to truly relax and be happy. A week of vacation for me translates into about 2 days of actual relaxation. The first 5 days are spent going "wait, what the hell do I do now?"

Kinda. I think it'd be better if the aspnet team's CI system would upload new dnx packages to myget... and then also build a new docker image with the latest dnx bits baked in.

That way I can try the latest and greatest of rc2 without having to rebuild my container every time new packages go up on myget.

It's a pretty minor ask... I'm probably one of a very small number of people that are stubborn enough to be on the bleeding edge (using rc2 when rc1 is the latest release, etc)

I'm aiming to have a demo of ASPNET5 on Kubernetes within two weeks. :) I'm having to figure out a lot along the way. I wish the aspnet team would take direct ownership of their docker image. There's no reason that the aspnet team can't be putting out new docker images every night with the latest DNX and MVC bits pre-loaded ready to go.

Have a large vs solution.

Have a TFS build server that puts your cloned projects at not-the-top-of-the-filesystem.

It's very easy to hit that limit. It's atrocious and a joke. And Microsoft has paid me as an employee to write some ridiculous stupid workarounds for it in completely 100% managed C# code that shouldn't be bound by such stupid legacy decisions.

I hate MAX_PATH with a passion. It's one of those things that basically forces a hacky solution every, god, damn, time.

Why? Amazon doesn't have a direct competitor with a "computer on a thumbdrive with an HDMI connector". Well, they do, but it's sold as "media center on a thumbdrive with an HDMI connector" and that's what a Chromecast is.

No, they don't. Twilight is working on my phone and it's completely stock.

I guarantee they've lost more potential revenue doing this than they would have ever lost from anything that could be construed as piracy, though that claim still just flatly doesn't make sense to me.

Stuff like this makes me wonder how the dev team feels. Somehow I think they and Rockstar lawyers might have vastly different opinions. What a good way to alienate users, and kill off excitement on the dev team. If someone took my game and made it even more sandboxy and hackable and people invested hours and hours into goofy and fun gameplay? I'd be so happy and proud.

I don't get it Rockstar, I don't get it.

LLVM may not remain a feature that only exists in one column soon. It's a brave new .NET world... LLILC is a thing (.NET frontend for LLVM). LLVM has a role in Android and iOS work in VS already and I think that role will only expand further.

There's a lot of attention on .NET Native. Given that LLILC went from nothing to being able to build and JIT Roslyn in 6 months...

Let's just say I have some speculation in mind.
