Why do you feel the need to go into someone's house with the goal of converting them to your religion?

To make this easier to understand you could easily substitute other goals. For example, what if you knew of a treatment for diabetes or AIDS that could benefit others? Wouldn't you feel the need to tell others with diabetes and AIDS rather than leaving them to stumble across it on their own?

Likewise, we feel that the morals and lifestyle we advocate are beneficial and can help many improve their lives. Therefore we want to tell other people about it. At that point other people can either say "I don't like it and don't want to hear about it," or "I like it and want to find out more."

I'm sorry you have had some bad experiences with Witnesses visiting your door in the past. Naturally there are unbalanced and insulting Jehovah's Witnesses just as there are unbalanced and insulting atheists. People differ. However, I can assure you that every Jehovah's Witness is encouraged to be very respectful and polite about sharing his/her beliefs and listening to the beliefs of others. Some people's personality traits aren't up to par, but we can't stop them from going out and talking to others. Remember that every Jehovah's Witness is a volunteer so naturally some of these volunteers are going to be good, and some of them aren't going to be so good.

If you experience someone who seems rude or confrontational you can tell them to leave your door, or you could get their name and complain to the local congregation (using the phone number in the local phone book). Somebody will probably talk to them and ask them to please be more polite.

At any rate if you would like to try a decent, two sided conversation about religion or the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses feel free to contact me:

I am not arguing this but I think programming is in a sense "expressing oneself" and the "one way" and the "rigidity" of Python might turn some people off. Sometimes...you need to take that "short cut".
While that doesn't seem like a lot of hours, the thing that struck me was I didn't see a single thing in his actual day (other than maybe a 10 minute bike ride, or reading a book at night) that I'd personally enjoy doing. Yet, he seems perfectly happy -- good for him.

People really have totally different preferences. It's more striking when laid out like that.
All GUI apps should be controllable entirely through the keyboard.

This is generally true of built in Windows applications (even if the transition to ribbon interfaces complicated flows). It is spotty for third party applications.

Unfortunately on Linux, at least on KDE (I don't like Gnome since v3), keyboard navigation is broken even on default applications like Dolphin or Discover.

Mac OS, I remember (Tiger -Lion) being pretty good.
Perfect! Sometimes I need to send a dropbox link from one of my devices to a computer at work to print and stuff. Until now I have always used email or facebook, but because I use long passphrases and a key manager logging in on the other computer is always a hassle. This will serve that use perfectly - use a random passphrase and then paste the link, type in on other computer and then open it from there. Great!

I would love to set an expiry date for this use case though as I only need the link for one minute to retrieve the files.
"In some countries, when trademarks are transferred, there must be a continuity in the underlying product or the trademark is lost. (You cannot just buy a famous trademark and ship something completely different with a sticker placed on it.)"

[Citation needed]

In some ways you're technically correct I guess, but you're phrasing it in a way that leads to depictions of reality that are widely inaccurate. The thing is that you can't apply trademarks from one business domain to another willy nilly; but this has nothing to do with the transfer of them. (e.g. if I sell apples under the brand name 'chiquita', that may be a problem, trademark-wise; but selling tv's under the name 'chiquita' may not be). This has nothing to do with the transfer of the trademark.

Then again, I don't claim to know anything more than the generalities of trademarks in just a few countries, so I'm interested in examples of your points from specific legal systems.
Python is often recommended, and a great starting point is Zed Shaw's popular "Learn Python the Hard Way:"

I take your repost and match it!

I thought the "startup way" was launch it now and pray for a business model later.
I should also add that it is quite a bit easier to get into a career doing IT work than software development..
I don't really know why this is an article. So, uh, the author has discovered that you can fork/exec a process? I'm not sure what is novel or interesting that is presented here.

This article could have been written in 1998, titled "Using C to improve your Perl application's performance".

I'll say this about this strategy. For most web apps (and ruby is mostly used in webapps), it's usually more robust to just write a go background worker listening over RabbitMQ or the like and just shove messages around as a service.
Interesting. Is this something most dog owners you know do? Like I said it isn't the case for me and I'm not aware of any of my friends medicating their dogs unless they've had a procedure at the vet or something serious happen that required a vet.
It's "Rap er uh", not "rape er e".
> sigh I really miss Perl's implicit behaviors sometimes.

I never had too much of an issue with Perl's implicit behaviours, but it enables some really lazy programming, even from (otherwise) smart people that are gung-ho about Modern Perl. E.g.:

sub { map { "$_ $_[0]" } @{shift->[0]} }

(Note: I have actually seen people think that this was an ok way to code, even as they tried to champion things like MooseX::Declare.)

There's also stuff like this[1] for Perl + Unicode. :^P

Congrats! I've been following WIL's progress as a designer co-founder myself. Proud of ya that you learnt to program urself.

Looks like you might need it.
I do something like that, but I like to put one of the Matrix movies on. I've seen them all enough times now that I know what's happening, and I don't feel compelled to actually watch... but there's something going on that I can pay attention to briefly, when my mind needs a break from whatever I'm doing. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works well for me.
I don't really have it backwards - I'm just describing my experience. :/

I also always heard that slides are supposed to be guideposts to a presentation, not the main point of one.
This is a disaster. A very sad day for the internet. We are entering into pastor Niemoller territory here: first they came for the file-sharing websites, next they came for the online gambling websites, and I would guess that Bitcoin is probably next in line, and following that, Magic: the Gathering online and the MMORPGs.
it's happening quite often that big poker sites have some of their funds confiscated. Usually they dont communicate about it and just change the payment provider they use to collect US money.
Sure it's better than nothing but it's not a good backup plan. The reasoning was that Apple is holding back OTA updates because this one niche thing isn't covered perfectly (although Carbonite and others do a good job of hands-off online backup). I'm saying that if you're protecting something which isn't very good in the first place, and holding back a lot of good features because of it, that's a bad reason to do so.
For those that are skeptical, check the nameservers:

All of the domains point to nameservers at cirfu.net, which appears to be the FBI's Cyber Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit (http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber_Initiative_and_Resource_Fu...)

What's more interesting (to me): the domains don't appear to have been using US domain registrars.
I think you are seeing it in a culture where soda were already pushed to people's eyeballs for decades. Perhaps removing ads now wouldn't bring a dramatic change in the next months or even years;
But for comparison, asian or european countries with more push on other drinks (e.g. tea, can coffee, sparkling water) have less of an inclination towards soda.

It might be a chicken and egg problem, but at least I think there are ways out of the situation.
If they have problems placing existing product, they typically ask for public intervention. It’s Europe, the whole agri business is regulated pretty tightly and subsidized to avoid overcapacity issues. Which is just fine, in most years, as it prevents a bunch of unsavory debates between close countries with a history of armed conflict spurred by industrial tensions. It’s the sort of thing that the Brexit saga brought to the surface.

The fact that the sector has not complained in the last month or so, to me says that they are unlikely to have overcapacity issues. This said, most UK restaurants and cafes have shut down only just today, so things might be different in a week.
> it turns out they knew better than the customers themselves knew what they wanted.

do we live in the same universe ? facebook has already one full step in the big storage room with myspace, omegle, etc. most teens I know laugh at you if you say you're using facebook like you're some decrepit old person.
I think a lot of people - including me to an extent - are about to come crashing into the real world at 1000 mph. The difference is that I've suspected this was in the post for a long time. It only takes a few hours or less on a plane from almost any part of the world to reach somewhere that demonstrates clearly how utterly detached from reality advanced nations have become.
I'm not sure it is for the vast majority of users? How do you violate the GPL by using git?
People here still get excited about LISP, too. I can understand Clojure, but Lisp, come on! It was in the 80s and 90s when I used LISP for AI and my favorite muLISP, but it's 2015 already! So, this is a boutique community, don't make generalization from it. Atom is doing pretty well for its infancy!

I was super excited about Intype in the past - much more excited about anybody could be about Sublime. After many, many years and ruined potential, I gave up. Just recently found that it's still alive. I remember e as well. It got open-sourced... and what? There are many editors, but Atom has all indications that's it's here to stay! I'm not so sure about Sublime given the patterns. A loyal community is not enough - a dedicated development team is what's most important!
I don't see why there should be a specific HTML template for just Django, since the HTML representations are pretty separated from the controller and model, any template should do.

HTML5boilerplate is a great one to start, just because it deals with a lot of cross-browser compatibility issues.
Tell that to the vendors and various api-s that love to produce 20-50 MB xmls
Ten or twenty years is a long time to wait for the hardware to improve so your editor is performant.
tnx starstreak do you think most will still get it then?
The C#/LINQ syntax for this is nice for this reason. It's S.Where(P), which makes it clear that the thing on the left is the thing being filtered, and that it's taking values x where P(x) is true.

One could also make the argument that it also suggests that it's a non-destructive operation, but that might just be years of familiarity with SQL semantics talking.
At least for local usage, the 'trash' command-line utility is worth considering [1]. I use it on my Mac/Linux box. As described by NPM, trash is a:

Similar things have happened on OS X: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/01/11/04/0412209/itunes-20-i...
So the old music player isn't still included by default. It should still work just fine on modern android if you install it, and there's plenty of foss media players on fdroid (ie not Google-dependent), most of them thin wrappers around the android media apis with a few extras like playlists. Kodi and VLC should work fine without Google services, and LineageOS Eleven doesn't require Google, though I'm not sure if it still works on modern Android.

Lack of media playback options shouldn't be able to stop you from using AOSP.
I don't recall about the specifics in Argentina, but in Brazil, it's customary to greet females by touching cheeks with them and making a kiss sound. It would most definitely be very awkward if you (as a male) attempted to do it to a female american friend.

Generally speaking, americans tend to be less touchy-feely. For example, it's common for close asian male friends to wrap arms around each other while standing side by side, whereas in US this act has a homosexual connotation.
Pretty good given the first ammendment and lack of other rationale such as scarcity of airwaved. A pretext to deny would be difficult for domestic companies.
Interestingly South Korea is much more accepting of a greater power distance than say the UK [0]. In such situations having a clear line of communication from the bottom to the top on actionable items can be difficult.

God(s) made more sense when they were constructed as reflections of nature and the human condition, as petty, cruel and arbitrary as the mundane aspects they portrayed. No one questions the brutality of the God of war, of the fickleness of the Goddess of Love.

But the God of the Old Testament being a God of perfect love, perfect wisdom and absolute power is so cognitively dissonant that an entire heretical religion (Gnostics) could only square that circle by claiming that God must have really been the actual God's moustache-twirling evil twin all along.
It's probably "legal" in some locales, but it probably shouldn't be. I've noticed this anti-pattern with some other entities.

> 100% grass fed and finished beef

I am not sure this is true. I live in a country (NZ) where most cattle are grass fed their entire lives. This is supposed to mean higher omega 3 content but I have never tasted a fishy taste. Not even once.

If grass fed and fishy taste are corrolated, I suspect there is another cause. Maybe organic fish containing grass fertiliser?
>The point of doing word problems isn't to distract kids with "non-relevant noise", but to indicate that the things they are learning have a practical application in everyday life

Figuring out "how many people from each racial group are likely experiencing food insecurity across the U.S." is an everyday problem?

>I don't think this word problem carries a social message, it just puts data in front of students and asks them to compare different categories.

The message is not in the question itself or in the data, but in the fact that this particular question was chosen in favor of any other. Would you think I don't have any ulterior motive if I asked "these are the arrest statistics across the US, tabulated by race. What conclusions can be drawn from this?"?
Insecure by default is the same as insecure.

Imagine if your internet banking worked the same way. By default anybody can take money out of your account. But if you jump through some hoops you can set up authentication.

Nobody would accept that and rightly so because it is the default security level that matters not the highest one.

WhatsApp is much more popular than Telegram and it has E2E by default, so any argument that users won't accept E2E by default doesn't hold water.
Probably combusted as it would turn into CO2 rather than stay as methane which is a much worse greenhouse gas.
I suspect an additional reason: their customers are not very price-sensitive. They obviously can't compete with paper on price, so they don't even try.

I don't know of any database that supports multi column count. But even if one did, count(*) does not have the semantics that you would expect from that. If the semantics were equivalent to expanding the column list then count(*) with a single nullable column would return the number of non-null values. But instead it is defined to return the number of rows regardless of context, being equivalent to count() or count(1).
More importantly, Harvard and Yale charge ~$60 to apply to, so you are applying against a pool that's already heavily self-selected.
The discussion about physical limits and technological difficulties is interesting, but not ultimately relevant for the surveillance question. Even if this technique becomes feasible for use in the real world, it'll still be more expensive than just putting up a second camera pointing the other way.

I thought the technology looked familiar. I had been following the Bright Agrotech people on YouTube for a wh ile, they produced great content for those interested in indoor hydroponics for the home grower.

Do you know what happened to the company? Did they go bankrupt and have to liquidate their IP?
Talk about bad reporting: what the new national curriculum says is not radical, it's not a plan, and it doesn't end subjects. It just suggests as one method of teaching to consider themes that cross the traditional academic divisions. And this it has done already in previous versions, just with different words. In the end, it's still up to each teacher whether they want to break the traditions, learn new methods and materials, create new lesson plans. On their own time.

1. Understand that Software Engineering is not a discipline yet. There are some foundational elements, but the field is less than a century old.

2. Think in the abstract. Implementation details are just that, details.

3. Ideas and concepts can be reused, code reuse (in business logic areas, not technical support) is rare.

4. "Design is about constraints" - Charles Eames

5. Understand the foundations, finite state machines, what REST as a style actually means, why Nouns are more important than Verbs, don't reinvent things...

6. Learning never ends.
If you think these are bad, you should see the list of things they did during the Cold War.

Also, how many other countries behave badly and should be "sanctioned the fuck out of"? Once you start looking at each country under a microscope, your list of countries that deviate from "interact normally" is going to get so long that you're really just walling off the G7 from the rest of the world economy - which is something Russia would love us to do.
Well, at the level they're at, and considering the strategic and military considerations, everybody does it. I'm reasonably sure EU countries do the same with Airbus, and I'm European.

Keto Extra is an exogenous ketone sold as an improvement to a pre-practice originator with raspberry ketones. Nutritionists utilize outside ketones to request that the body get into ketosis quicker. Organizers consider themselves to be an uncommon brand. They battle that the overhaul battles with the appearances of "keto influenza" and at the same time gives energy and retention to diabetics. It is a dietary improvement subject to BHB that assists with getting ketosis. Keto status is the most secure and most ideal approach to manage decrease weight.

You're not the only one. What you describe is actually hypothesized in the concept of the "uncanny valley effect":

"...as the appearance of a robot is made more human, some observers' emotional response to the robot becomes increasingly positive and empathetic, until it reaches a point beyond which the response quickly becomes strong revulsion. However, as the robot's appearance continues to become less distinguishable from a human being, the emotional response becomes positive once again and approaches human-to-human empathy levels.

"This area of repulsive response aroused by a robot with appearance and motion between a "barely human" and "fully human" entity is the uncanny valley. The name captures the idea that an almost human-looking robot seems overly "strange" to some human beings, produces a feeling of uncanniness, and thus fails to evoke the empathic response required for productive human–robot interaction."

Doesn't this mean that both your paypal account and ebay account get locked? I know that if you issue a chargeback to amazon they lock your account until you give them another card to charge.
What really is needed is to go back the good old days. And that is signing for what you received. Though that is hard in with today's schedules. But it is responsibility of receiver to go over the shipping manifest and verify that each and every item is present and appears not to be damaged... Protects all parties.
