No. You clearly have no idea how this works, and are basically an armchair health expert spreading patently false and dangerous information.

Health care workers are required to use masks to protect immunocompromised patients.

In Japan, people use masks to protect the community and goes both ways ---which is why it works.
During WW2, aircraft engine manufacturers would have a row of engines on test stands running at full power continuously until they broke. Then the engineers would examine the part that broke, and redesign it. Then continue the test.

This resulted in vastly improved engine reliability.
I used to think the same thing, but now I think that artistic skill is like any other. Some people are more natural than others, but in the end you've got to work hard to get it. I guarantee you that every one of those designers have put forth enormous amounts of effort to be proficient.

I'm learning design because I don't want to have to rely on others to be creative for me. It's a slow and laborious process, but can be fun when I look back on previous projects.

Well, hopefully they fixed the infinitely growing cache under 0.7. I have had to shut down Dropbox once a month to clear out the cache (which supposedly would autoclean but never did).

Having to lose 60GB to cache for a 5GB dropbox folder is pretty insane.

Designer with 10 years of experience in digital design, marketing, and the construction industries. I strive to combine the best in people and technology and I’m passionate about translating needs, wants and dreams into world-class products that customers love to use. I’ve worked both independently and as part of clever teams for companies of all sizes, in business-oriented, marketing and technical projects.
Using LibreELEC myself. It's designed to be less fiddly than RPi/Kodi.

I'm also in Germany but not using Netflix so no idea how well it is supported.

My favourite thing is my tiny little device: Cubox i4pro. Bought it five years ago and still humming along well. Though support is kind of suffering. But the list of hardware that LibreELEC supports well looks interesting.
>"Libraries

o AsmJit - Complete x86/x64 JIT and Remote Assembler for C++

o DynASM

o LibJIT

o LLVM - MCJIT

o GCC - libgccjit

o GNU lightning - a library that generates assembly language code at run-time

o Xbyak - JIT assembler for x86(IA32), x64(AMD64, x86-64) by C++

o sljit - a stack-less platform independent JIT compiler

o QBE - written in C, similar to LLVM but much smaller

o MIR - a new JIT backend in C being developed by a Redhat GCC maintainer

o NanoJIT - a small JIT engine originally written by Adobe for Flash

o nj - a JIT engine written in C++ based on Eclipse OMR. Eclipse OMR is used in IBM's Java implementation, but the JIT engine is generic"
If it's how the system is supposed to work, it's strange that members of the supreme court have complained about the lack of legal basis.

Interpreting the law, such as what the first amendment is supposed to mean, is indeed what the courts are supposed to do. Making up new laws wholesale is supposed to be the legislature's job.
Yes! Here it is the birds that start their morning concert that alert me to the fact that the book is just way too interesting.
slightly confused why there is a giant picture of a car parked at a beach pasted alongside the entire article
It figures Sam Clemens would be posting this anecdote at James' expense, which incidentally implies the report of Clemens' death was an exaggeration.
This makes me sad. I have, up until now, been happy with Signal, but with this foray into cryptocoins, I now put it in the general "why do you hate the planet" bucket that all other cryptoshills are in.

It works (FSVO "works") for small levels of transaction, but does not scale to "a substantial fraction of humanity uses it for payment" (low-end, imagine 2.5 billion people trying to make on average 3 economic transactions per day, you'd need to be able to sustain about 80k transactions per second; now note that I low-balled bot the number of economic transactions AND the global population).

Moxie, this is seriously disappointing.
The union could adopt an "all or none" policy with the insurance company, and then if an individual officer is barred by the insurer, the union will be telling all officers (and management) "sorry, insurance won't cover us, can't come in to work until it is sorted."

Which practices are you referring to here?
Are they trying to make IE obsolete?

I know this is probably a move by the lawyers, and the browser-promotion folks probably don't even know about it yet, but seriously... If you want to promote your (free!) browser, you have to make life easy for developers.
True Christians are wonderful people. Intolerant Christians, not so much.
That couldn't be further from the truth. A large group of Black Panthers armed with assault weapons stormed the CA capitol in 1967 as part of a protest.

Found dead, or found dead by gunshot.

Killed by whom? By CFK? You are stating that was her. We don't know yet.
That study doesn't take into account children, which are a huge factor, I would imagine. In households with children it is common for the woman to assume the role as the primary caregiver while the man assumes the role of the provider. As such, I imagine the woman likely feels less pressure and has less time to pursue a higher pay, while inversely the man feels pressure to increase his pay to fulfill his assumed role in the family.
I think they are cartoon swords
You can redirect the output of the script to a json file, so in this case something like:

My thoughts exactly. One reason against this is that it changes every single one of your bars. However, the way around it is to tag each navigation bar with a different number and use that conditional in the UINavigationBar category.

Though, there's probably a reason they didn't go with this. Any ideas?
You only see the premium product when you first activate your feeds. Standard users only have 64 feeds, but when you first import your feeds, you're asked whether you want to go premium.

I try to stay out of your way as much as possible. Notice how there's no logo when you're reading your feeds.

Oh, and you should totally go premium. It would make my day. :-) It also helps keep the site running on its 6 servers.
There is none. In fact this whole good programmers are 10x-100x more productive then average programmers is treated as gospel around here, but I don't trust that either as a first principal or obvious assumption.

In my experience, there are good programmers and bad programmers, just like good project managers, bad project managers, good people managers, bad people managers, etc.

A bad employee is bad for your company period.
This is huge! We'll have it in! Thank you!
Exposing it via a standard method, like LDAP, would be awesome, and I agree entirely unlikely considering the (passive aggressive?) stance Facebook and Google are taking on exposing that information.

Exposing your address book via a method that allows you to consume it programatically and thereby make it more useful? We wouldn't want to enable competitors because we obviously can't continue to exist or be relevant using any method other than locking people in.
No one on this thread has picked up on the 'range' suggestion by Maro yet, so I'll add a thought:

For my purposes, displaying actual scores within the range -4 -> 10 would be sufficient. the low end is already capped, and the high end could either just have a ceiling of 10 or a score of 10+.

I am occasionally a "someone is Wrong on the internet!"[1] type and my inclination to wade in is directly proportioanl to the perceived traction of the inaccuracy. Without such a heuristic the choices are: reply to all, none, or a random sample which result in "poor information", "needless pedantry", and " undefined behavior" respectively.

It's very funny that the article itself calls out most people commenting here
> Regardless, Google is getting savaged by bloggers for killing yet another service, one that most of them never even tried, let alone used regularly.
Despite all the disdain for Microsoft in the spirit of slashdot sentiments, Google has turned out to be worse in many respects.
99.5% of the people upvoting this article had neither used nor heard of Cloud Print before seeing this headline.

Look, I too got annoyed when Google killed Reader. It sucked for a couple days. I moved on.

This doesn't even register as a product. It was an experiment that wasn't needed, so they killed it.

Holding onto every silly project you ever worked on doesn't make you responsible, it makes you a directionless hoarder. Even Google doesn't have infinite bandwidth (heh) to work on pointless side-projects.

They aren't killing Gmail. Or GCP. Or Maps. Or anything else you ever used. Let it die. Don't upvote this post just to use it for ammunition on some overly-generic tirade against Google product management. You are just adding noise to the world.
Whats with that logo? Is tagging cool again?
Investing in Google's ecosystem is a risky proposition, as a sys admin I can't in good conscience recommend Google's products to my client's.
While I think the government policy is questionable, I am also concerned by the willingness of communications companies to respond to requests without warrants.
I'm not sure whether the OP is implying that Amazon is guilty of these fallacies or whether AWS's users are.

Having worked at Amazon, I can attest that Amazon does take these issues into account, and many more. That said, the purpose of the services that failed isn't to guard against network partitioning at the data center cluster level. The services that were designed with cluster network partitions in mind are still up (S3, EBS, SQS, etc).

If you are renting instances in a specific data center, and you wish to have cross-cluster redundancy, it is your responsibility to build that into your distributed system. This is ultimately a question of whether you need to commit to an SLA higher than that of the service on which you depend. (It's more complicated than that, but that should suffice for simplicity's sake).

There are companies that built services on top of EC2 to mitigate these risks (e.g. Elastra), and there are competing solutions that provide application-level hosting that should guard against such partitions (e.g. Windows Azure).
NFS on a well designed and maintained LAN is ok, but on any network less reliable I agree it's the wrong abstraction. You can only get away with hiding the network in those rare situations where the network can be made that robust.
Great app! It's something I will have to play around with for a while, but I really love the design.
more like BYU

Do you mean the way most male BYU students go on missions in the middle of undergrad, then finish older? Because 999 out of 1000 times, the mission has nothing to do with their field of education. Or was it something else?

(Mormon BYU grad, not offended, just curious)
Yep, that's what I meant. AJAX was "community coined" in the sense that it was coined a member of the tech community, not by a company (as with a trademark or commercial brand name) or a standards body (as with official standards like "ECMAScript").

It's like when "the neighborhood" forms a "neighborhood watch." Not everyone in the neighborhood spontaneously starts it - it's usually one or a few people who come up with the idea and then everyone gels around it. Or like how Java was a technology created by Sun, even though it was really Patrick Naughton - it's a synecdoche of sorts.

All that said, while the above stands for AJAX, you probably have a point regarding "Web 2.0" since it was tied to O'Reilly as a company via trademark, though I'd argue that the community essentially "stole" this brand and made it a lot of things that it never originally was.
I think NoSQL will probably out-last other names. It's got everything a geek wants:

* Short (5 letters)
* Opinionated (No)
* TLA (SQL) (bonus points because it's well known)
Awesome article man. I was actually thinking of the humor dichotomy in the shower this morning (things are either funny cuz it's true, or funny cuz they're not true) but then I concluded that my definition was stupid because everything is either true or not true.
Oh, this is a massive debate, and more emotional than rational. "But cloth should be better! It just seems like it should be better!"

Wikipedia is probably as good an introduction as any:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloth_diaper#Debate

Also, cloth diapers cause more rashes. (Unless there is an allergy to the disposable one, in which case it causes more.)
Its not that you have to, its that you can. This would absolutely be much better suited as SVG or canvas, but it does a good job of demonstrating how amazingly powerful CSS3 is.

If everyone only did something the "right" way, and the simplest way, the world would be a very uninteresting place.
> the military has contingency plans for everything, including a Canadian invasion of the United States.

I don't think I'm the only one who hopes someone will FOI that if and when its secrecy expires.

(Disclaimer: I've little to no idea on how secrecy and disclosure of documents works in the U.S. military.)
Especially considering how fast even the slowest computers of today are, the client-server architecture gives us the option to immediately decentralize calculations across all clients as needed. It's an easy optimization that's hard to give up, but does present it's own challenges.
I prefer to look at general relativity not as exceptions to Newtons Laws but rather, Newton's Laws as a special limiting case of the more general theory of relativity.

So I posit a theory: For any given theory, there are areas outside its boundaries where it breaks down and can say nothing or only nonsense but that doesn't make it wrong (which need not be binary) - so long as it is contained in a more general and more accurate theory. We can then only measure its correctness based on how well it predicts within its domain and then how well it folds into the future more general theory.
No, I understand it required collusion with China to make it impossible to resolve Google.com to a different search engine. If they did nothing, folks could Google with the same engine the rest of us do. Try to remember, your ancestors may have fought and died to stay free. Google certainly did not extend themselves in any way to promote this ideal. This discussion here is probably not available in China.

"Migrations specify which other migrations they depend on - including earlier migrations in the same app - in the file, so it’s possible to detect when there’s two new migrations for the same app that aren’t ordered."

This is a fantastic feature. I've worked on projects that use a South fork that only uses a migration number, eg 0003.py, specifically to cause version control to trigger a merge conflict.
I doubt she'd be able to transfer her existing YouTube channel to the new subsidiary. She would need to start from scratch.

Turns out 5% of the population have a reverse reaction to Benadryl. They become absurdly hyper on it.
> I think this is misreading Google Glass. People didn't like or want to use Google Glass because there was no "killer app" for them

I think the other reason why people didn't want to adopt Google Glass, is the stories about other people objecting to people wearing them–primarily because of privacy concerns, that the devices were capable of recording video, and that while a phone camera can record video too, it is somewhat more obvious if someone is doing it with a phone camera than with Google Glass. If a product is going to be a social hassle, if other people and businesses are going to object to your use of it, a lot of people will decide the negative social consequences aren't worth it.

Something like Google Glass specifically targeted to people with disabilities would be more acceptable, because someone using it can always say that it is for their disability, at which point most people would be more forgiving, plus if any business tries to ban it they run the legal and PR risk of being accused of disability discrimination.
Then, how about this. I understand the view of no segregation at all. That's just one big group, no additional work of separation. But how separation by biological sex more meaningful than separation by gender identity?
Yeah I wonder if there is a better build so that it could only sit properly with one side down.
They don’t but they should.

Postmortems are exciting reads and they should have a section for postmortems in their engineering blog.

I think merge commits are key to why "snapshots" are a better model than "diffs", and a stronger arguments would emphasize this more.

Like people have said, the two models:

- a commits is a snapshot plus a pointer to a parent commit

- a commits is a pointer to a parent commit plus a diff

are sort of isomorphic. And some commands in the git porcelain (like git cherry-pick, or git rebase) indeed make more sense if you think of commits as diffs.

But this isomorphism becomes really strained when you have commits with more than one parent (or even zero parents). (And I think it's telling that those commands don't play very nicely with merge commits or the root commit.)

If you really want to incorporate merge commits and the root commit, the alternatives become:

- a commit is a snapshot, together with a list of zero or more pointers to parent commits

- a commit is a list of M >= 0 pointers to parent commits, together with N > 0 diffs, subject to the invariant that:

a) M = N, except that for exactly one commit, which we will call the "root" we are allowed to have M = 0 but N = 1

b) starting from any commit, if you traverse a path back to the root commit by following parent pointers, and then sequentially (in reverse order) apply, for each commit in the path, the diff that corresponds to the parent pointer chosen, then the result of composing all those diffs is independent of the path chosen.

And when you put it like that, it's pretty clear that the "diffs" model is really impractical, and that's why it's a lot better to think of commits as snapshots.

Although 1000 koalas are believed to have been killed in these recent fires (from the article), it doesn't look like they are "functionally extinct" [1]. Also, it seems like that particular claim was made earlier the year as well (before the presumed most recent fires). I don't know what to say about the "80% of their habitat" claim.

In any case, as many have lamented before me, it's a pity that we keep wanting poster boy animals rather than just general, sanitory debate around nature conservation.

Your tone is why I’m gone. You talk to me like a fucking goddamn jerk. I didn’t ask for your medical advice. Telling me imperatively to “seek it” is indicative of your hubris and provincial viewpoint of the world. You’re in zero position to know what technology is out there in the wild. It’s a system bigger than you and me. And it was blindly obvious that my theory was to goad people like you who would obviously jump on the offensive regarding “mental illness”.

I don’t like you talking to me that way. I’d like to be left alone. As stated. Spare your armchair diagnosis and condescending response. Please.

I really detest people like you: your mindset, your condescension, your tone. Please. Do not respond to me at all anymore. Please.

This is a request to anyone reading this to not respond to my post with any theories about mental stuff, suggestions to seek help, etc.
Or, they just do a better job of covering up for each other, choose to enforce the law less frequently, arrive to reported crimes slower, etc...
Probably a coincidence that overzealous governments are locking people down the world over and it's only working in AU/NZ then.
Are there open source opencl to FPGA compilers?

If you're playing with FPGA's, you might as well directly compile the kernel into a circuit, rather than building a gpu on an FPGA and running your kernel on that.

Proprietary solutions like Altera OpenCL compiler exist.
You’re being downvoted because of right wing teamism that dang and company refuse to address or are not equipped to deal with.
I'm sure this sounds disappointing, but basically there's nothing you can do other than start. There are several ways to trick yourself into starting, though. Some random ones:

* Break big tasks into small pieces, make a list.

* Visualize yourself taking (and completing) the first (physical) step.

* Take a time based goal instead of task based one, e.g., just spent 5-10-15 minutes on the task.

* Start with big rewards (for small things) and try to make them smaller as you go.

* Set deadlines, plan backwards (but don't abuse it to procrastinate ;)

I think of discipline as a muscle that you have to train. Don't expect to be able to lift a complete weekend of productive work if you usually 'slack off'. I definitely recognize your behavior.
I would recommend reading the whole thing, but the second paragraph on page 7 is packed with real world advice. This is what it says _failed_ entrepreneurs do most:

- Wildly under-capitalized

- Organize as a sole proprietorship rather than a corporation

- Don’t write a business plan

- Start from scratch

- Sell to consumers rather than businesses

- Under-emphasize marketing

- Don't understand financial controls

- Try to compete on price
