A few weeks ago I tried to copy a Windows 7 VM from VirtualBox to VMWare Player. I expected it to be easy, but it was actually difficult enough that I gave up on it after a few days.<p>If your backup plan involves mounting a disk image on a VM, I strongly advise you to test it before you need it :)

His lectures as part of the Physics tripos were certainly the best (in terms of engaging, exciting, interesting and actually educating) I remember as an undergrad - at the time the smartness, enthusiasm and slightly unorthodox approach reminded me a bit of what I&#x27;d imagine Feynman&#x27;s teaching to have been like.<p>It&#x27;s a huge testament that right now now I can see 3 different copies of Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms sitting on 3 different desks in our office.

Disclaimer: I&#x27;m not a lawyer, but I did write my company&#x27;s privacy policy with approval by lawyers.<p>A lot of companies&#x27; privacy policies have a section explicitly dealing with how data is transferred when company ownership changes. Sometimes this just says that all data will be transferred, but sometimes there are stipulations (for instance, my company doesn&#x27;t sell or rent user data for marketing purposes, and its privacy policy requires that an acquiring company won&#x27;t do that either).<p>Of course, there are edge cases (like what happens if the privacy policy changes) that complicate things, but the FTC has a pretty helpful discussion of all of this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ftc.gov&#x2F;news-events&#x2F;blogs&#x2F;business-blog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;mergers-privacy-promises" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ftc.gov&#x2F;news-events&#x2F;blogs&#x2F;business-blog&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;...</a>

&gt;Why is being &quot;priced out&quot; of same place you already live at perceived as something worse than not being able to afford to move into some neighborhood to begin with?<p>Because there are costs involved with relocating, which the former aren&#x27;t being given any choice about. Finding a new place to live and moving there involves a lot of time, effort and stress. Not to mention any friends and family they&#x27;re now less able to keep in touch with.

&gt;<i>UN troops are simply troops rented by the UN from member countries. They are no less or better trained nor less corrupt than their fellow soldiers back home who are not wearing blue helmets.</i><p>At least in my country (Finland), the troops who volunteer to UN duty get specific training for it.<p>The training is not very long, but on the other hand, there is a selection process that means that by no means everyone theoretically eligible gets to go, so we can well argue that the troops in blue helmets are better trained (and much better paid) than the average conscript, and the process to select them also impacts who gets to go.

I have no experience either, but from watching a few reality crime TV shows, there is not much difference in the penalty. Offering to pay for the item after the fact is not accepted by mall security.<p>The pain of the penalty (at least in the show I watched) was less about the crime &amp; any charges, but that the shopping mall was banning them from the mall for a year. It was a bigger deal to them that they would have to find another mall and drive further away to buy their groceries to feed their kids.

I&#x27;d always regretted not keeping my old hard drives when my family left Moscow in 1999. There was the Robotron 1715, which was my first true taste of computing at home. A Compaq-produced 386-SX box was solely responsible for me having learned GW Basic and Pascal before I was a teen. My daughter, who&#x27;s retracing my steps somewhat, would have loved to see how I had done it. I sense that seeing her dad&#x27;s attempts at learning to hack might help her understand how harmful current iPad-esque walled gardens are.<p>Not surprisingly, when I visited Moscow 15 years later, my old hardware was gone, and not a shred of knowledge remained of where it might had gone. My relatives conceded that it might have been stolen. I hope the thieving computer obsolescence club or history museum will enjoy my pieces.

Those are images of people living a western style of life in a secular country. It&#x27;s not a free country though. The Iran of 1978 was a fascist police state that aribitrarily arrested and tortured people (like Assads Syria) [1]. It&#x27;s convenient and has become somehow a tumblr fashion to do this simplistic comparison (&quot;proof by gif&quot;), but the reality was much different and the revolution against it, although it brought another form of oppression and religious dictatorship, was supported by many Iranians.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Iran#Late_modern_period" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Iran#Late_modern_period</a>

The problem with the opposite position, that even the greatest net positive is invalidated if even a single person is inconvenienced[1] (which, <i>reductio ad absurdum</i> is what you seem to suggest), will obviously lead to practically no change ever. Indeed, it will most likely lead to decline, as any active attempt to change things will probably inconvenience at least a few people, while you can&#x27;t pin such a charge against passive apathy, even if it long term inconveniences a much greater number of people.<p>Even the creatives with their coffee shops (generally considered the acceptable level of gentrification, a fact that is obviously totally unrelated to the fact that a substantial subset of people fretting over gentrification are creatives in coffee shops) probably displaces <i>some</i> local activity, perhaps a &quot;brown cafe&quot; loses some customers to the new coffee shop etc.<p>I recently went on a street-art themed walking tour of Shoreditch in east London, and the guide started the tour by explaining how in the late 80s the area was a total write-off with poverty, violence and prostitution left, right and center, and how entire houses changed hands for as little as £1 -- and ended it by railing against the building of new apartments. The irony of he, himself, being a recent transplant to the area (he alluded to his small-town upbringing, and he was much too young to have moved there pre-1990) did not seem to trouble him much.<p>Bottom line: clearly there is SOME level of positive development that justifies SOME level of inconveniences. Perhaps we should be a little better at articulating the positive benefits instead of knee-jerk defending those inconvenienced by progress and idealising the gritty urban semi-slums being displaced.<p>PS: I&#x27;m very happy the WaPo link is making you reconsider your position.<p>1: This article describes the plight of &quot;the poor&quot; being pestered with offer to buy their flats for cash, offers they are perfectly in their right to decline. That&#x27;s being inconvenienced, not kicked out. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wnyc.org&#x2F;story&#x2F;de-blasios-affordable-housing-fight-shifts-neighborhood-battles&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wnyc.org&#x2F;story&#x2F;de-blasios-affordable-housing-figh...</a>

I hope it has improved since last time I&#x27;ve worked with it (3 years maybe now ?). But on top of my head this were the problems I faced (probably not up do date now, I hope it&#x27;s much better now):<p>- The emulator was slow as hell<p>- Impossible to resize the emulator window dynamically so testing is really slow and painful<p>- Bugs with manufacturer roms &amp; drivers (hello Samsung !) So you have to test with a lot of devices without guarantee it will work<p>- you have to copy all the fields yourself when your device pass in portrait mode since everything is being erased (even text fields)<p>- You need to create some strange XML for just about everything, nothing really works by default.<p>- No package manager for the libraries, you have to copy some random .jar here and there<p>- Really poor API. No usable date picker (I&#x27;m discarding the default one here), no file picker, no contact manager you can inherit from in built-in, you had to reimplement everything yourself, even a button with an image on it you had to do it yourself.<p>- Poor consistency in the XML names, it was difficult to guess what meant what.<p>- The documentation was also hard to browse<p>- The permission system is close to broken (they are working on that at the moment apparently).<p>- If your APK is too large, APK expansions (can&#x27;t remember the exact name now) API&#x27;s were borderline broken and buggy.<p>- SD card management was a mess.<p>- Everything related to layout was difficult to get it right and nothing would ever resize right unless you put a lot of effort into it (the opposite of the web on this).<p>- Android browser was close to unusable but now that I&#x27;ve checked a recent version, it seems they solved that.

We could not have sustainable ecosystem with humans included.<p>But we could leave some space for greens and vegetation. What I meant is - if you want a tree at floor X, you also need to have soil, worms, grass, bushes, spiders, beetles around it.<p>Of course this is the icky stuff that people in the high rises don&#x27;t want to deal with too much.<p>But it is definitely doable with some nice mirror play, rain collectors, windbreakers (for the higher floors) and leaving some floors empty to have high rise gardens.<p>But you cannot just lift a tree with roots - you must put up soil and plant stuff and wait. It could be nice places for socializing.<p>So we turn the trees from gimmick into something that creates value.

It&#x27;s been widely known that the UN peacekeepers originated the outbreak for years now. The issue isn&#x27;t closed source data, it&#x27;s the UN being organizationally incapable of holding people responsible for fuck ups.<p>EDIT: Recent example - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;20&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;sunday&#x2F;i-love-the-un-but-it-is-failing.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;20&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;sunday&#x2F;i-love-the-...</a>

The actual quote is &quot;premature emphasis on efficiency is a big mistake which may well be the source of most programming complexity and grief.&quot;<p>The &#x27;summarized&#x27; catch-phrase always bothers me; the choice between optimized code and inefficient code is always clear to me.

Yes, &quot;universally&quot; should not then be restricted to &quot;most programmers&quot;. Those are incompatible. It would be like saying that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights aren&#x27;t meant to apply to all humans.<p>I would prefer &quot;what&#x27;s near universally regarded as un-fun by programmers&quot;. Which would simply place you in the small minority, rather than being placed outside the universe of programmers. It could still be <i>wrong</i>, depending on the threshold for &quot;near universal&quot;, but it wouldn&#x27;t be obviously confusing.

What&#x27;s the point of creating a standard if you&#x27;re going to enforce vendor specific afterwards?<p>Wasn&#x27;t the standard on favor of less garbage after all? I mean, if all my gadgets would use the same connector, maybe vendors could start shipping products without a bundled one?

The selfoss reader [0] has a nice concept of extending the format of the incoming data feeds, would be also a very nice feature for your code. Even nicer it would be if new incoming data formats could be configured in yaml files without having to recompile.<p>the selfoss author mentions these kind of data:<p>* RSS Feeds * Images from a RSS Feed * Images from deviantArt Users * Images from tumblr * Your twitter timeline * Tweets of a twitter user * heise News with full content * golem News with full content * MMOSpy News with full content * RSS Feeds with readability<p>certainly not the most important sources, but it gives an idea about how diverse data sources are on the net today, so limiting to rss and atom is not a good idea. maybe some people would like to add facebook streams or other &quot;social&quot; sources.<p>Also please take a look at the extensive testing suite of feedparser [1] - lots of feeds there, that will break any naive assumption about how clean real life data will be.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;selfoss.aditu.de&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;selfoss.aditu.de&#x2F;</a> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kurtmckee&#x2F;feedparser&#x2F;tree&#x2F;develop&#x2F;tests" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kurtmckee&#x2F;feedparser&#x2F;tree&#x2F;develop&#x2F;tests</a>

&gt; Boy isn&#x27;t this annoying in Netflix too? I notice if you go to look at a show&#x27;s information more closely (selecting it from the main screen), it automatically starts playing the first episode. I don&#x27;t want that! I can manage that, really! Thank you!<p>This is a horrible feature. I was a Netflix subscriber for years (an early adopter in the mail-order DVD days), and after weeks of fiddling and trying to disable this mis-feature, I finally unsubscribed because of it.

Does that mean anorexia and bulimia could be treated with antibiotics that would cut back the population of bacteria that excrete this protein?

&gt; Python uses a weird mix of OOP, imperative and functional programming, and this creates mental strain for everybody who has to read it.<p>I used to think so until I came across Oz. It&#x27;s Prolog, Lisp and Python all in one nice package :) Granted, it&#x27;s more of an educational language, still though, Oz is a mind-stretcher.
