I know you’re being downvoted but I know EXACTLY what you mean. Hang in there.

Maybe it’s meant to be a feature, but instead what happens is you end up with declarative configs absolutely littered with custom metadata and huge and massively complex custom engines to decipher them, where it would have been simpler to include it in the config. They suck.

You can no longer apply, they did away with that last year.

Top tech talent generally have no idea how businesses make money. So of course you’d ignore them.

To save you time - no because Snowden didn’t want it to be published in full. Ever.

Don’t bother it’s just FUD with zero detail nor does anything to acknowledge US or UK are as bad as China.

I feel that this logic is faulty. The reason being if the libinput author hasn't already done this over the past near decade Mac has been trashing competition with their touchpad, it's more likely that they don't know how (or don't care about) implementing that support.

The reason for this is they've presumably implemented plenty of other stuff without being paid to. There's no information given so far to suggest otherwise.

Absolutely no insult to that author though. They are entitled to choose to work on whatever they care about.

If it's not a feature that makes money why spent developer money on it? -- Every manager ever.

GDPR may levy fines but ultimately it hasn't done anything to stop managers focusing on new features and sales income.

> Explicitly logging a password is one of those practices that doesn't sit on the backlog.

For you maybe. For Facebook obviously it's different.

What confuses me most here is that the ethics of the WSJ, as defined by the beliefs of owner Rupert Murdoch, run counter to everything Apple professes to support. I don't know why they would support WSJ and not a more unbiased newspaper.

No.

Try committing to a Microsoft open source project or working with a lot of ex-Microsoft employees. You’ll want to kill yourself.

OpenLisp but not actually Open. Of course.

I hate Google docs like this because I just want to see it but I can’t without “requesting permission” which means someone knows exactly who I am.

A previous workplace has thousands of tens of thousands of tests and about 2-3% fail per build.

I don’t know why the developers don’t care but I suspect they’ve learned to ignore specific tests which repeatedly fail.

Like in most development places management doesn’t give a flying shit about all of the tests passing if it means a feature will ship.

Probably they’re mostly older tests and so fixing them detracts from adding a new fancy feature

Huffington Post occasionally has deep and (what looks like) well researched articles though.

It's a real mix and that's my problem. I want to pay for something that's good. I don't need all the bullshit filler, and in fact seeing the bullshit filler makes me not want to pay at all because it's an insult to my time.

I recently started paying for The Australian / Wall Street Journal.

It's garbage. Utter, complete garbage. I've been reading it daily online for the past week and it's 99% political opinion nonsense.

(I'm not referring to anti-Trump or anything, it's actually anti-opposition in Australia; for America it just seems to attack "the left").

Just be careful with this. Some companies will treat this as if it were a bounced check and keep your debt going.

“Hard” is a stretch. Annoying maybe.

Well I don’t get it.

The OP never mentions that the reason there’s a 2PC is because the client has to know whether it worked or whether to resubmit, and missing from the list of reasons why is network issues.

It seems to me in this world the client never receives a notice and the transaction commits in the background. I don’t know how devs are going to deal with that. Just always retry and swallow the error when it happens the second time and the data is already there?

It wasn’t clear if this is the Elements of AI course or another course.

I’m surprised that extra credit even exists. My high school and university had no such thing.

Fire any possible UK, US, and Chinese nationality employees seeing as they're all subject to similar laws.

In the US the NSA can ask you to do the same thing.

Sorry I think you’re very slightly wrong.

There was a bug in either some revision of MSDOS or a compatible version that needed it. That’s why it’s common (though agreed technically unnecessary as it’s unlikely to ever be run on those...)

I don't get it. "This makes discovery very slightly easier (only in the most awful sql-injection code you can imagine)". Why should we care about that?

Too bad asciinema doesn't work on Windows/PowerShell.

please s/quite/quiet

It’s also how azure query language works.

The problem is it's near impossible to get a tape backup system at home.

It's all fun to say "oh a single tape can do 15TB" but it must cost in the thousands and thousands of dollars.
