And java 8 also has free support for 5 years (released Mar 18, 2014, free updates end on Jan 2019. (ok, 2 months short of 5 years.) The charging for support is for the stuff older than 5 years - that is the long-term support being charged for. This isn't anything new for Oracle or many other companies.

Back when pine was a thing, I preferred elm. Remember, PINE = Pine Is Not Elm (supposedly a backronym). Much later I switched to mutt. Nowadays I’ve been assimilated by the borg. (Gmail)

Sorry Zuck. Not buying your comments.

If Marriott were really serious, they should have fired the survey writer instead. They again, maybe that person was fired too.

But as to appeasing China, well... I'm not sympathetic.

I'm running a putty with window transparency, xterm-256color support, in utf-8. Everything is working fine including htop. (Puttytray)

Loved Miner 2049'er. The sequel Bounty Bob Strikes Back was also great!

It's mostly already there... turn on parental restrictions, block/disable all default apps except those, and then have a friend set the parental restriction code to something you don't know.

I'm sure Apple would just say "you don't really want an iPhone, then" as a response.

Documented in "The Eudaemonic Pie" by Thomas Bass. Doyne Farmer is the key guy as I read it. He and other guys went on to Form 'The Prediction Company' (where they used Chaos Theory to play the stock market very successfully – eventually bought by Swiss Bank/now UBS).

I interned in his group (the Center for Nonlinear Studies) at Los Alamos Natl Laboratory between these two events.

I've used over the years vc6 VS 2003, 2005,2008, 2010, 2013, and now 2017. 2017 is frankly a sea change and is the best IDE I've ever used (I'm including Jetbrains stuff, Eclipse, Jdev, snd many others over the years)

I believe playlists don't count as library (please correct me if I'm wrong) - so you can effectively surpass the 10,000 as a limit by adding songs to playlists instead of the library.

I've actually changed my model primarily around playlists and don't actually use the library feature of spotify hardly at all.

Same. Horrible user experience for what seemed like a decent article.

However, using reader mode on iOS Safari keeps all the ads out and it then reads fine.

In the US, the # is just over 37,000 driving deaths per year, or about 35 times less than 1.3 million.

You can pry my human-driven gas-burning vehicle out of my cold dead hands.

Great article. Seems a logic continuation of his 1997 book "Le ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language" (a book primarily about the challenges involved in translation), which I enjoyed when it came out.

Spectre yes. Meltdown is Intel only IIRC.

True. And we'd have the same issues with this processor family now...

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux and loved FreeBSD back when it was more easy to choose... But I do think the 'free UNIX' movement has had unintended consequences like the demise of Sun, and perhaps now also this exposing of a failure in what was a desktop class chip architecture that was elevated to server usage.

Everything has a cost is all I'm saying.

Ironically, Sun might have not had to sell themselves to Oracle, and the world's server's might be running on SPARC chips that are immune to these issues.

Linux is what allowed Intel to get its biggest foothold into the UNIX server market.

Nope. Software Engineer. The reason it was so low is the youngest was born 18 yrs ago - long before current cost skyrocketing. Things used to be a lot better.

I don't recall what the itemized bill was before insurance took care of it, but with health insurance, each of my kids actual cost to me was $100 out of pocket. In the US.

I'm sure the quoted price before insurance was probably ridiculous, though.

I have several musician friends who create excellent content, yet are still fairly niche. Every one of them is getting frozen out of their measly dollar a month from this, as they are all a bit short on hours of listening per year.

At least Spotify/Apple still pays musicians per stream. The small musicians on youtube are no longer getting that privilege. Big Music(tm) screws the little guys again.

(I know this is more than about indie musicians, but this is the effect I am seeing most in relation to my usage of Youtoob)

I had created so many custom tags and nests of tags and rules before their folder system came along that I never got the Google folder system, even to this day. For which I am insanely thankful. Apparently they figured I was already handling it and left me alone.

I've always hated the video screens on planes, so for me it is good riddence.

But I'm a book / laptop guy who grew up w/o a TV happily. (Yes, I grew up in the US)

This brings to mind Ken Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust"[1] -- after all, all I have to do to write code with the exploit is be able to remove the patch and rebuild the compiler and build some executables.

Trusting in a compiler you hope was used to build all the executables on your system isn't trustworthy enough to be the final solution.

Yes, but how many pages (according to goodreads stats?)

It's working for me.

Sounds like a recipe to kill radio in favour of higher quality cell data streaming.

Overcast is by far the best podcast app in tpgone, I got fed up with Apple's spp years ago.
