Thats a pretty thoughtless joke when the threat of the other 95%, tied to the job at lower wages (on threat of deportation) would be sufficient.
> Mr. [Stephen] King never cashed the $5,000 check Mr. Darabont sent him for the right to turn his story into a movie. Years after "Shawshank" came out, the author got the check framed and mailed it back to the director with a note inscribed: "In case you ever need bail money. Love, Steve."

That's ... incredible.
Oil and gas already does a hell of a lot of computing, and invests heavily in supercomputing facilities. [0] I'm not too familiar with the domain, but looking at abstracts of conferences like the Oil & Gas HPC Workshop [1] might give you some idea of the work already being done in those fields.

It's entirely possible that machine learning techniques could be used as well as modeling and simulation for these problems. (They may be already! But my limited expose suggests they're mostly doing traditional HPC.) But you'd probably need to be a petroleum expert already, not just someone with machine learning expertise living in an O&G hub.[2]

Agreed. Someone reported a nginx misconfiguration in one of my sites, and PGP'd it to me. That's the only report I've ever received :P

Given that most of the article is made of highlights from 10 scientific articles published in such high profile reviews as Nature, Science, or Nature Geoscience, I do not think you can reduce it to "political advocacy" from a "hysterical website".
There is nothing wrong with the science, I just find this specific presentation of them extreme and off putting. Particularly the use of words like "catastrophe" and "gravest threat" etc.

The aim of the post is quite openly to show this as a clear and present danger and create a climate [sic] of fear, despite claims to the contrary.

I may have been a little glib with the original response; but I do not think that this is a well concluded blog post. Instead I think it is very political and probably unhelpful.

There clearly is an issue with the media focusing on Climategate, I don't think this is a successful way to raise that. And I maintain the tone of the piece is breathy and hysterical.

Not good.
Why would Google buy dropbox? How does it fit with their established advertising business? How does it feed into their other offerings?

Your claim seems to be "dropbox is profitable, therefore Google should buy it" - Ben and Jerry's is profitable but I don't see it as a potential Google acquisition.

Dropbox is built for a time when the desktop is still relevant. Google are gearing up to overthrow that paradigm. Dropbox doesn't have a clear link to the web at large, or to search, or to the creation and indexing of content. Those are the attributes I associate with "google acquisition fodder". Compare tineye.

If Google do buy dropbox, it'll be as a talent acquisition and/or so they can leverage the userbase into a chrome OS based solution.

As of Nov 8th, we have a report from the data recovery company of a complete recovery. We should be receiving the recovered data on Wednesday 10th and we can then begin the process of finally getting things back to normal around here.

As of Nov 12th, we have now received the data recovery files, but there has been a fair amount of filesystem damage, and it will take us some time to locate the files, rebuild the filesystem, and get everything back on its feet. We are still hoping for being back online next week, all going well.

As of Nov 15th, we have begin database reconstruction. As there was significant filesystem damage, this will take a while, as we need to manually sanity check the database records, and there are a lot of them. We still hope to have things up and running this week.
Which is why, as an iOS developer, you should never respond to memory pressure notifications by actively freeing memory! You'll inevitably end up touching compressed memory pages in the process, increasing your app's memory use as pages get decompressed so you can free the allocations.

[this is technically true on the Mac, but your Mac app isn't going to get jetsam'd like your iOS app will]
I think the question is incomplete(at least I think so).

Its not about automating the UI tests for regression testing,but to ensure that regression testing is effective.Most of the times,this is driven through the UI, which could be flaky.

As the test pyramid paradigm states , having a lot of UI tests, depending on the functionality & complexity could be an anti pattern. Essentially , a lot of the functionality can be tested using by writing unit tests & integration tests and the end to end business use cases should be automated through the UI just to ensure it works.

If it is possible to drive the state of the application using an API or URL, to the target state and then we assert elements to check the UI.

This enables faster feedback and is less flaky.This is how we approached testing in our team.Depending on the objective , we would use Selenium ,JUNit , Cucumber or corresponding ones in a given programming language.

For real. Software development can be like building and maintaining a house.

Except none of the contractors agree on what materials to use. So one section is steel, another is wood, and another yet is brick. Meanwhile there is a 3rd party outside attempting to load the whole place onto a truck and ship it somewhere else.
The underlying HTML <ol> element allows arbitrary values through the value tag.

One of the original selling points of Markdown (at least in Gruber's post) is that is "seamlessly integrates" with HTML, in that you are in principle able to mix and match Markdown and HTML and get predictable HTML output. I think it was that aspect of Markdown that let it be so... sloppy?

That aspect of Markdown seems to have fallen away with the rise of Markdown extensions and standards.

Assuming OpenTeams is built on Django/Flask (based on the large number of Python projects), it would also be cool just to submit code/doc improvements or support back to those projects.
Tech -- especially social media -- is often directly competitive with old media, and has for years at this point posed an existential threat. From Jobs wanting a 30% cut of the Times' revenue on iOS, to Amazon's cutthroat relationship with the publishing industry, Thiel's lawsuit against Gawker, Google search/news controlling distribution, Facebook's algorithm changes literally ending numerous media companies, etc., it's been pretty nonstop for over a decade now.

Always worth a mention when speculating as to why journalists tend to be so anti-tech nowadays.
The basic ones are so basic they don't belong on the list, and the rest are all 'true'... Until they aren't.

There are exceptions to almost every non-basic thing on that list. Your exact position and circumstance will dictate all of that. They're probably a decent default, but they're hardly 'things you should know' and more 'guidelines to success, but take them with a grain of salt'.
"Bad support" is when you promise some (explicitly or implicitly), but fail to provide.

It's not "bad support", it's "no support". The same state it is now already.

Nobody would complain about lack of support if you specifically state that there won't be any. After all, it's the dump of source code and blueprints, not some end-user products you see in a store.

I think the examples are pointing in a different direction, i.e. a simple and straightforward tool to help you juggle daily life with a focus on spontaneously rearranging tasks, rather than fixed business meetings and scheduling events for teams even.
Don't bother selling mine, guys. It's already cancelled.

And if Sony was responsible and contacted everyone, with big bold letters saying their credit card info was stolen, the rest of them would be cancelled, too.

Instead, they waited a week and a half before emailing, and then only said that cards -might- have been taken and they couldn't tell for sure. The only responsible thing would have been to assume they were and inform your customers of such.

I've seen people saying that because it 'might' not have been stolen, and it's a hassle to get a new card, they aren't going to bother and just wait to see if any fraud happens.

Ugh.

Sony actually should do 1 step better and contact the credit card venders directly and get them all invalidated. Just to be safe. It'll be bad PR, but with all the other bad PR lately, it's a drop in the bucket and at least errs on the side of safety for a change.

I also got vaccinated with AZ two weeks ago. Got fever and headaches for a day, took that day off. Another four family members also got vaccinated with it with similar or milder symptoms.

I am not defending them, just curious why people are avoiding it.

Exactly. I wish more people here would realise this. The powers-that-be do realize this, and are concerned about it. I remember when the "Fifth Estate" movie came out (which was critical of Assange), everyone in our company (a large tech company that I won't name) was given free tickets (and the afternoon off) to go see it. First time ever we were given such free tickets; I wonder why?
Most likely you could cancel or return for a refund.

"display: contents" is an interesting addition. It appears to take an element out of the tree, replacing it entirely with its children.

Anyone have any thoughts on what that could be used for?
This is incredibly cool. I love the way it blurs the line between the physical and the digital. I very much dislike the trend towards touchscreens on everything, I personally like physical controls that have a single purpose, like a volume button.

I could easily order laundry soap on my phone, but this is far quicker and easier, and a genius move by Amazon.
The ability to download maps for use offline has been useful for international travel. GPS on with data roaming off comes in super handy in a pinch.
The way government contracting is set-up, it was guaranteed from the beginning to end up this way.

There are so many re-competes and re-bids for contracts that are supposed to be multi-year, that pretty much every fucking year a new company comes in and under-bids a contract. The company isn't going to take the hit, so the employees basically get to re-apply for the same position at a lower salary.

The government claims that this system was developed to ensure fairness to the companies bidding on jobs, but it seems an awful lot like the real purpose was to drive employee wages down. Hopefully it doesn't start to drive down private sector wages in the DC area.
That's terrible. Imagine being the team who built that product, only to have them say, "Too many people thought it was a joke, sorry"
"I'm pretty sure most Americans will give up amazon for free education, health care, paid maternity and paternity leave and the many other social benefits Norway provides to its nationals.

Yeah, unfortunately we can't install that one on our build box, I believe because it needs X11. (As the page says it is not "totally headless")

This is a false blanket statement. Also one that could change as we start to see human+ai performance be better than just human performance.

For lung cancer screening, NLST showed a 20% reduction in mortality and now NELSON has shown even stronger results in Europe.

This “all screening is bad” is FUD in the medical field, frankly. Yes it has to be studied and implemented carefully, but to make blanket statements about screening as a whole is factually incorrect.
The market killed ECC for consumers. It used to be widely available to desktop class hardware (I used to have some), but it was slower and more expensive than non-ECC RAM. None of the marketing-types made a good case for why normal people should pay more money for less-performant hardware, so the market disappeared.

Even the security issues only meaningfully impact servers.

People like Linus can buy server-class hardware if ECC is so important to them.
The simplest explanation is the right one. The losing party does not accept their loss and will promote any idea that can invalidate the outcome. The judgement of dozens of court cases has been that none of these ideas have any merit.
This is why data retention laws should apply for all organizations public and private.

In the eyes of the law it might not be different, but in the practical upshot it is. Running the program may well produce a copyright-violating image, and you'd never know. An artist would have a much harder time doing that without knowing he was doing it. So then somebody sues you for using their copyrighted work and shows you their original, and you're left scratching your head, pointing at the computer.
I use a tool called flatten-packages [1] and I usually do all of my npm work while visual studio is closed (and use short root paths as mousetraps suggested). I just flatten them after adding/updating/syncing packages.

This has a strangely hostile anti-paleo spin given the core finding. Here's the title:

> Dog Domestication May Have Begun because Paleo Humans Couldn’t Stomach the Original Paleo Diet

If they let the wolves eat the lean meat they didn't want, doesn't that mean too-much-lean-meat was not a part of "the original paleo diet"? Does she imagine that we had to eat it before we started to domesticate wolves with it?

> “Because we humans are not fully adapted to a carnivorous diet, we simply cannot digest protein very well,” Lahtinen says. “It can be very fatal in a very short period of time.”

Yes, if you eat all lean meat you won't last long on that. But nobody thinks that was the paleo carnivore diet that we adapted to. Our ancestors, if current hunter gathers are a guide, ate nose to tail, prioritizing the fatty parts and eating the lean parts only as necessary, else it became scraps for scavengers.

It's like saying we're not fully adapted to a plant-based diet because it's dangerous to eat too much (insert toxic plant food here). Well sure, but that just means we're better adapted to other plants or plant parts. Like we're better adapted to eating a nose-to-tail animal than just the lean meat.
I don't have access to anyone inside of Microsoft, So I bring this up here, please tell Microsoft to develop official ssh client (With server it would be even better, but for now client I think would be enough) , I am tired of using putty for SSH'ing into my virtual machine. (or at least they can fork putty and make it official).Even in git plugin in visual studio they developed there is no SSH support.
So anything that requires changing all the references to the new one is a non-starter. I want something that lets me fix it in-place without going and hacking their source directly.

If you could do something like "monkey patch this, but only for calling code inside my private namespace" that would probably get you 90% of the way there.
What method did you use to see if a domain was available? I was never able to find a service that didn't throttle my usage when checking on a large list.
It isn't about keyword-stuffing (and hiding these keywords from users) anymore. It's about optimizing a site for organic traffic and having a true focus on who the customer is.

Use the Betty Ford Center, a residential drug and alcohol treatment center, as an example. You want to optimize for "private" and "recovery" rather than dilute your site with keywords like "clinic" which don't serve your target audience.* _This_ is what effective SEO is about.

It's only "gaming the system" in the same way that traditional advertising is--you want to do your best to get your message in front of the right eyes.

* "Clinic" is often associated with "cheap" or "free" by customers who are a better fit for the Betty Ford Center.
Rand - It sure seems like you're recruiting sophisticated application engineers, you're not recruiting SEO engineers. That is, this is a recruiting problem (yours) not a perception problem (theirs).

Focus your headline on the sexy work you're recruiting the engineers for, not the market your customers are in. Why mention SEO at all in your recruiting?

Oo turn it on it's head and address the fear in your recruiting efforts. Like, "how can a gig as awesome as this possibly be found in the slimy, shady underworld of search engine optimization? mwahaha."

Maybe I'm biased because I'm an SEOmoz client, but I'd imagine that once they get past the initial hurdle that your firm doesn't fit a preconception about SEO anyway. So get em over that initial bump.
I know that this is only anecdotal, but I've noticed the results women get with pilates, more so than with weightlifting or even yoga. I recommend it to any woman that asks.

I can see it being helpful at first, but quickly turning into the usual group-think-fest of social media. If it takes off is there any plan to discourage pseudo-celebrity "influencers" from stealing all the likes and cash?

I dumped Chrome in favor of Edge on Windows, it’s just that much better in my opinion. Especially with the new vertical tabs feature.
