Is there any material around still from the USENIX course that went through UNIX line by line? It looks like the Lions commentary also does that to a certain extent as well. There's even a version of the book online [0]. [0] http:&#x2

I get that this ruling is focused on the piece of paper before it's redeemed and it's really good that a sticker isn't enough to limit your ability to resell something. I'm wondering about after someone has redeemed the

That's a good point. When I was reading about this, I didn't put too much stock in the fact that the code was on a piece of paper in the box. But, it seems that this is a very narrow ruling based on that fact. Once someone redeems

I'm also not a lawyer. But, isn't digital ownership more complex than that (if they were to have a better contract)? I don't think you can re-sell your iTunes library or transfer it to a friend. Though, I'll agree that y

Checklists are cool and all. But, you shouldn't need a checklist to know that you shouldn't ship API keys.

If the appeal doesn't go Facebook's way, what is the resolution to this? It sounds like they'll just have to update their terms of service to say that you agree to allow Facebook to use your data in XYZ ways. Of course, that&

Like the other commenter mentioned, I'd love to hear more about this too. How are you doing backups and deployment?

Won't they make money in absolute terms? Maybe it was a waste of time. But, 0.37% of Uber is $245 million. I can't imagine Waymo spent that on lawyers, investigators, etc.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the subject is. If it helps, think of a different area where right-leaning government employees could resist government. (I can't think of one off the top of my head) The point

It's also not a surprise that they're doing this. The GOP and Trump campaigned on dismantling government. So, that's what they're doing. It's wildly undemocratic to push for government employees to usurp the will of

My mistake for misreading your comment. That's definitely true. Punishing the egregious cases is a step in the right direction. But, there are a million other things that need to be fixed, including many things outside the police depar

Where is the line between the environment and the individual? Even if the Baltimore environment drove the police to criminal behavior, it is unacceptable to let them get away with it. Obviously there is an issue with the environment but tha

Oh! Ok. I've actually used this extension a bunch, but it was several years ago. Wasn't it part of Firefox at one point? Or, am I misremembering.

by neuland 9y ago
Definitely reasonable. Just struck me as odd. Maybe there are some other extensions that they have in mind, too. If someone was looking back at this post, they'd be missing part of the story.

I can confirm that the option is there. I'm at a big 4 tech company and recently transitioned to remote. If it is a deal-breaker and you are senior or otherwise considered a key team member they can't let leave, going remote can s

I don't know anything about physics research, but it would seem that there is a more nuanced balance between basic research and things that can be applied soon. Basic research requires a high risk tolerance and deep pockets, but a pote

It depends on the industry. When all the workers need to be working at the same time, the lunch break thing makes sense. For other industries (like programming), it doesn't matter if your coworkers are on break, you can keep working. I

Absolutely. And an employer can choose to only hire union workers, too. I've seen a couple digital agencies that enthusiastically support unionization of their employees. They market to clients that they are a "union shop" an

Right, this is what I'm talking about. I've mentioned this in another thread, too. If an employer chooses to require it's employees be members of a union, I think that's their right. But, I dislike (and think should not

by neuland 9y ago
You're right that I think an employer should be able to choose who to hire or not hire. So, if an employer wants to be a union shop, that's fine. But, unionization is not something an employer really has a choice in currently. I

I will quit from any employer that forces all programmers to negotiate as a unit, because I believe that compensation should be based purely on your individual skills and the market. I also believe that forced collective bargaining is unc

I did not notice the price. Wow, totally agree about $80 being way too much. Plastic or some other more durable material would be a big improvement to justify the cost. Edit: It looks like they're providing templates to make these your

This looks way too good to be true. It's a pretty awesome concept, though kinda like lego mindstorms but more focused on things that you interact with. Hopefully there's people that come along and create kits with more durable com

I also will strictly use 80 character lines. I like that because it means I can have two vertical panes of code open at the same time even on my 12-inch MacBook (regular/not pro), which I love b/c of it's battery life and wei

That's not really true though philosophically speaking. Even if I forget everything about myself, my identity (as far as my creditors are concerned) is the same. I think that there should be some kind of hardware key or smart card syst
