It would be extremely nice if you could just specify that directly in the function and not have that sprawl where it's unnecessary. For a single result set you do exactly that with PG, just wish it would allow you to specify multiple.
> basically you want to have a small supply of starches to keep your skeletal muscle from breaking down to feed your brain

But starvation in a healthy person takes 10-40 days to kick in, with 30 days being way more common than 10. Before that, you're just ketogenic.

Everything I read, and my personal experience, leads me to believe that the only muscle that breaks down is that which is not used (which is compatible with your general description). As long as you keep exercising during the fasting days, there's no reason to resupply your glycogen stores. After about two days, your body will switch to ketones as a fuel source, which will likely alter your body odour and -- if you are not used to it, e.g. the first time you do it, is likely to give you headaches and other flu like symptoms for a couple of days. But no reason for starch intake.
I'm at the grocery store approximately zero times a year. For me a "summon cat litter" button would be a marked improvement in my life.
Bad example. Stupid password requirements are great because it makes it more difficult for users to use the same password on every site.
So, Mozilla wants to change the ad industry, while preserving user privacy?

I am extremely curious to find out what exactly do they have in mind here?
For example Germans have the electrical energy equivalent of 21 nuclear reactors installed on their house roofs in the form of solar cells nowadays. Sustainable energy has very low variable costs.
Just to make it clear for people reading this. It also doesn't require students to pay the fees up front. The process will be that students will repay only afterwards and only when they are earning over a certain threshold.
I did have an image and only a few words unlikely to set off a filter. It could be a problem on my side, maybe the AJAX request timed out or something similar. I didn't see any errors at the top.
One of the most important factor for this type of plan to succeed is to have encouraging Visa process in place so that smart foreigners can come and try the opportunities in a new country... also an option to become a permanent residence / citizenship will be icing on the cake!!
None. I don't drink, and if I'm impaired in any way (e.g., sleep deprived or brain-fogged by antihistamines) I don't write code.

Doing otherwise is just plain irresponsible.
Yes, you are correct, I was thinking of Vint Cerf.
I expect this to yield true for many other programmers as well.

Pun intended?
I like it a lot and +1 you're from the Visayas, and you have a pet snake :)
I'm sorry, but this is just stupid. They would be much better off working with (good) recruiters. $12K is in the ballpark of what good recruiters charge anyway...
I think you miss the point.

Being modularised allows the basic user experience to be kept very simple. It does not need to grow into something like an IDE. Hell, according to Packages [0] even tools like find-and-replace have been modularised so I do not think it follows that Github would carelessly decide to create a big ball of mud!

And additionally this tool has removed barriers that previously existed before.

Since it was created by Github they will be able to expose APIs to create features which are currently not possible.

Likewise the UI being implemented with WebKit means that the user interface can tightly represent what a user is used to seeing at different stages of their development process.

You might have read "The Design of Everyday Things" [1] before. There are certain elements which you need to control to create a good user experience: (1) discoverability, (2) feedback, (3) the conceptual model, (4) affordances, (5) signifiers, and (6) mappings. Without ease in changing the UI, and the possibility that Github will have self-interest in exposing extra APIs, it would be a lot more difficult to control for each of these.

It's just an opportunity to try new ideas. I'm not suggesting that this would be preferable to everybody.

> This is obviously true.

No it isn't because the leaks don't come from the credit card system; they come from vendors and it's not possible to make every vendor secure. PCI is an industry joke, everyone knows it; Target wasn't even compliant.

> but I trust Amex a whole hell of a lot more than I trust Coinbase

Yes, but you're ignoring the best option, trust no one, keep your own coins. The whole point of a peer to peer system is that you don't have to rely on a third party to keep your stuff.

> (and to be clear, that's the problem bitcoin has to solve, getting trust from normals). I realize there will be disagreement about such assessments.

I do disagree because normal's simply aren't necessary for bitcoin's success; it's already useful enough and used enough to be considered successful as a means of international payment and transfer of wealth. As a commodity, normals will be investing in it without even knowing it as soon as the ETF's hit Wall Street, so their explicit trust simply isn't required.
True, but it's a question of accessibility.

Far more people can program in JavaScript than Lisp, and far more people use GUI desktop software that follows traditional GUI user-interface paradigms, than do things inside their terminal. (Edit: or terminal-style buffers/frames.)

So that's why my statement was limited to what "desktop software" could be. :) I mean, I use LibreOffice, which is FOSS, but I am never going to touch its code in a million years. The cost-to-benefit ratio is too high. But Atom makes doing that sound almost trivial. That's the paradigm shift.
Potentially fewer context switches and interruptions? I know for me the browser is a potential landmine of distraction, it might be handy to be able to limit that.
The BNP have a percentage of the voters, they should get a percentage of the say. The fact that I consider someone to be utterly despicable doesn’t give me the right to disenfranchise them.

I completely disagree with that. Anyone that would deny you the right to do something should not be allowed to have that right. They wouldn't give immigrants and non-British citizens a right to vote, so why should they be allowed to have a say at all?

Democracy and freedom need to be defended. Allowing people who actively subvert it to win an election would be absurd.
Canada's Weather Channel's app Weather Eye is by far the best one I have used. It uses different pages for cities. It has all the information I need in one spot like sun rise and fall. If you are Canadian, I highly recommend checking it out.
TIL that Lua has been around since 1993 http://www.lua.org/news.html
That's only half an opinion, though. He's arguing that the bestselling authors give self-published ones the room to charge more. In the "value" scape, he doesn't get to decide how much his book is worth, but wouldn't be able to charge 3.99 or whatever he wants if the norm was 0.99. The actual value is more determinable thanks to the market conditions.
You are not being creative enough. Here's a list of blog post titles for you:

- OCR application(s) in forms
- OCR application(s) in vehicle registration plates
- OCR in archive digitization
- OCR in business card scanning
- OCR in mobile industry

With the simple formula of your product plus application fields you can generate hundreds of posts.
Typical evasive response for Jobs, identical to the "every phone has a death grip" nonsense. Ignore your own issues and try to smear the opposition -- guess that's the only business strategy he ever learned.

Pretty sad to see such a bright guy acting so petty.
How about just having a finite amount of time in which to read the news?

I'd prefer to focus on attention on filtered comments rather than waste time skimming hundreds of comments.
For me it's a conscious choice. On general principle, I think that open-sourced library code at least should almost always be BSD-licensed. Furthermore, there are many good libraries on Hackage which I might well want to use in a commercial product some day, and a BSD license will make that easy, no matter where my code ends up running. Releasing my own code under the BSD license is therefore also a small gesture towards maintaining this state of affairs.
I just wish there was at least some effort/mandate to make the UIs the same. Every touch interface I have used is different, which is second in terribleness only to the horrible latency. This is such a stupid problem to have in a car.

Iraq (with a Canadian scientist) almost made an artillery piece capable of putting material into orbit. Obviously, international sanctions gummed up the project a tad and it was basically over when the scientist was assassinated. Still, it was within the realm of possibility. Only recently have rail-guns started to usurp chemically propelled artillery in some roles, so it's not out of the question that rail-guns could put material into orbit. Even if the associated forces are too extreme for most equipment to survive, it could provide a way of getting raw materials into orbit at the very least.
But, what is this compared to the JS-animated status-text?

(Does anyone remember window.status -- the 90s equivalent to the title-attribute? Does anyone remember a browser with a status bar?)
Well, crap, they've certainly got enough pictures of rockets. Sign me up!
The policy's wording also bothers me. There's a massive difference between searching for "the answer" and doing some research.
Or for a geekier analogy, it's like StarCraft. When you first play, your APM is low, so you build things slowly, collect fewer minerals, and produce fewer troops. Then your opponent shows up on your doorstep with a much bigger force, micros them well, and before you can even control your dudes, they're all gone. And then you're like "Hey, what happened to my base? AAAAH I'm dead. GG."

As you gain experience, you can spend much less cognitive attention paying attention to what's going on in the game. So actions become reflexes, and suddenly you're catching up. And then you run up against an opponent who's like you were a couple months ago, and pwnage commences.
VR is a new medium so content creators are figuring out what works. Simulator games were low hanging fruit since even with less-than-perfect hardware/software they prevent sim sickness. The product for the company I work for is a VR experience with a first-person perspective and we are having no trouble preventing sim sickness by designing things properly.
That assumes that proof of anything is required. That's not usually how college disciplinary actions work.

At its worst, universities will sometimes assume a student accused of wrongdoing is lying, and punish the student based solely on the word of the faculty/staff bringing the charge. This happens in lesser cases where the administration thinks it can get away with it, and when the student is frightened of harsher sanctions that might be inflicted if the student asserts his or her rights and demands a full hearing process.

At its best (typically in more serious cases), the disciplinary process resembles a civil case (except instead of a jury, it's more of a tribunal) where the required proof is a preponderance of the evidence.

It's no wonder 200 students confessed. If I was in that class and I'd never seen the test bank, I'd have confessed too. It's been my observation that the disciplinary process is better at railroading not-provably-guilty students than punishing provably-guilty students. I would not want to take my chances.
"In the year 2010, a large payload was launched into LEO, ostensibly as a classified spy satellite. No one would have believed that behind this event lay not a human, but an innocuous computer intelligence secretly living in one of the NSA's computing clusters. Not long after, the details of a mysterious infrastructure project on the Moon was revealed: a Von Neumann factory. Growing at an exponential rate, this new organism was by then unstoppable..."

It would become harder to get caught, but could remain illegal nonetheless; which prevents from building a legit economic activity around them.

As for radar signature, the smaller drones are already barely bigger than a large bird, so I guess they aren't spotted by radars, or at least not recognized as UAVs.
Or would that just get her blacklisted?
It's a tough call because I've kitted out an office for 10 people (the original Citizen Space location in San Francisco) for less than half of your one-person's $4k budget. (I've become a master at planning out offices with Ikea furniture and how to put it together so it isn't wonky or unsturdy)

I guess it comes down to funding, if you've raised $1m+ then sure it makes sense. But I would hope that potential employees interviewing at my 'for-arguments sake' angel-funded or bootstrapped startup to look beyond the Ikea furniture and appreciate a company that is being careful with it's runway.

On extras like espresso machines, etc the best advice is to constantly consult the team or even give them the freedom to make purchases they want within budget. Some teams appreciate a good espresso machine so they don't need to leave the office, others enjoy taking a break to pop down to Blue Bottle in which case that expensive espresso machine might go unloved.

> Real tuna already is expensive, but that isn't helping the fish.

It isn't helping the fish because consumer demand for tuna isn't dropping, in part because consumers are insulated from the actual cost of real tuna by mislabelling; if consumer "tuna" was only real tuna (and thus, the supply was restricted to the supply of real tuna, driving the price of consumer "tuna" way up), there would be more consumer experience with tuna substitutes under their own name (rather than mislabelled as tuna), and the demand would shift to the acceptable substitutes (which clearly exist, otherwise they wouldn't be acceptable mislabelled as tuna.)

> For example, now that I am aware of it (and specifically aware that it is like tuna), I will make an effort to buy escolar in the future.

But if suppliers make more money selling escolar as "tuna", it will make it that much harder to by escolar as escolar.
Amazon crawls Github looking for keys and disabled it. Happened to my company once!

Also, they could certainly enumerate all the kinds of sensitive data that bots are automatically scraping and detect that, and that would be a major improvement because it'd mean people don't have their API credentials stolen and abused faster than they can remove them.
It seems like if there are people willing to pay for expensive locks, if there was some sort of secure enclosure installed in various parts of the city that could be rented out just like parking lots - this would help more than locks.

Or they just force the telcos to hold off on upgrading their backbones until the associated black rooms have been upgraded. Much simpler, same effect.

Well, I won't buy one. Too much automation in modern cars already; it should be a tool that does what I want it to, not an implementation of some manufacturer's impression of what I ought to want instead.

Sort of like the prisoners' dilemma; at the end of the day, the selfish actors will choose to locally optimize.

Btw, this argument about the sex ratio stabilizing at 1:1 is known as Fisher's principle. Fisher made another really interesting observation about how extremely exaggerated male ornamentation, like in peacocks, reaches its equilibrium when the aesthetic advantages from a large, attractive tail becomes offset by the practical costs of being slower, needing more food to produce said tail, being highly visible, etc. This one's called "Fisherian Runaway". These purely aesthetic traits will "run away" all the way up until they becoming detrimental to survival.
Exactly. Keeping message history is a liability. There is no need to keep all old messages beyond one week. If there is something specific worth saving, there are apps for taking/pasting notes.
It would have been appreciated if the Google Union had bothered to include any links or additional information to inform the reader about references to: suicides, mass murders, a fascist movement in the US etc.
Move to a country where I can live off the 40k -> 60k a year an interest or whatnot.

This basically means either Southeast Asia, or some parts of Latin America. Asian languages tend to be extremely hard, and it might be a lot easier to sort of blend in with the populace in Latin America. The last thing I want to do in my retirement is draw needless attention to myself.
Knee-jerk reactions are always the appropriate response and have never gone bad afterwards. Its important to act fast without thinking of the consequences because the stakes are so high. Optics and sending a message right now is everything
> Wild wolves are social but not particularly hierarchichal.

This is simply a lie. All wolf packs are strictly hierarchical. Meaning there is no wolf pack without a hierarchy.

> A typical wolf pack is formed of a couple and their offsprings.

Which forms a hierarchy.

> The idea that wolf pack have complex fixed hierarchical structure

Who said they had a "complex" "fixed" hierarchical structure? It's rather simple and obvious.

> Wolves are however both social and used to complex interactions involving social dominance.

"complex", "social dominance". Which is it? You say they don't have complex hierarchy and then claim complex interactions involving social dominance. What do you think social dominance exists to create?

Wolf packs have hierarchy like human families have hierarchy.
My thought when I read that line was "sounds like hell". Also, I bet Zuck has an office to call his own.

2. to cough in short dry spasmodic bursts
3. to manipulate a computer program skilfully, esp, to gain unauthorized access to another computer system
4. to use a computer in a way that observers do not fully understand or do not like
