I'm the founder of OpenDNS. This article is not accurate. We are blocked by Sprint Wireless, not Verizon Wireless. You can't change your DNS easily when using the Verizon Wireless 3G network's provided hardware, but if you are using your device in tethering mode or a USB-connected fashion, you certainly can use whatever DNS service you want.

How did this happen? We have, in the past, been blocked by Verizon Wireless, either deliberately or due to technical issues, but it is not the case today. I've been a VW customer for a few years, and it's a great service. And today, Verizon FIOS service requires the user to have CPE that doesn't allow the user to change their DNS (same with ATT U-Verse). Sprint Wireless blocks us today, and always has.

In my phone interview, done too hastily or speaking too quickly, I misspoke when speaking about Verizon FIOS and Sprint Wireless as examples of how our customers aren't able to use our service and mixed up the companies. That or the reporter misheard. Either way, this is a good reminder of why it's always better to do email-based interviews. The reporter in this case is a very good one whom I've worked with in the past, so I'm confident the error was mine. In fact, most of the post (it's a Q&A) doesn't really capture the entirety of our discussion, which is unfortunate. My actual sentiments are far less anti-ISP and pro-Google than I think they came out. (repeat, I really dislike phone interviews)

It's unfortunate that I wasn't able to correct the story earlier, though we did work to get the original Washington Post blog updated right after it posted (and it was corrected). Other sites didn't quite seem to pick up the update. I've been trying to update other blogs where I can because it's not fair for VW to be painted in this light. It should have been Sprint Wireless. Some folks on my staff have also worked with Verizon Wireless to make sure that they are not blocking us, and I thank them for their efforts.
for this to work, really, we'd need another pronoun to mean "specifically male" as we have another pronoun to mean "specifically female" - "xhe" or something. Maybe then we could refer to "man" meaning human, "testicleman" meaning male, and "woman" meaning female, you know, both genders being prefixed by the reproductive organs that are specific to the gender, you know, to be fair.

Really, I think a more realistic solution is to just alternate between using 'he' and 'she' in your work; "they" grates on my ears when it's used in the singular, personally.
I use JungleDisk (https://www.jungledisk.com/) - it's good because it can be used for backups, syncing, and previous versions of synced folders. It also does multiple users and multiple operating systems (Mac/Windows - probably does Linux too but I haven't checked).

It's also quite cheap.

I previously used Mozy, which was excellent, but only does backup. Mozy was much more efficient over the wire, better at notifications and better about resuming very large backup sets. But unfortunately doesn't do synced folders and the rest.
mind telling more about your experience on this?
how far would you say "getting out of your comfort zone" did you reach?
how did programming affected your life (seems like you meant you spent too much time doing so before getting to that... how was it?)
I use Dropbox in combination with Crashplan. Dropbox for "live" files, and Crashplan for "archive" files.
This video wasn't about Google instant: it was about magazine search, which it handled extremely well.
It is peer 2 peer within the lan ( see options - enable lan syncing ). This is great for companies that manage shares though dropbox. This way you don't have 40 people download the same bit.
Tarsnap is great
It's not actually zero.

There some sells at the minimum price of $0.0001. But nobody is actually buying them. There is no room in the order book for buys. No trading is taking place.

Some stock APIs report this as $0.00, others report it as $0.0001. Both views are correct, you could buy some shares shares at $0.0001, but you can't sell any.
From what I read about the disaster, there were a long series of design issues that could not withstand failures. As I recall,

1. hydrogen being vented into an enclosed area

2. no backup method for determining coolant levels

3. backup generators were not protected

4. no backup method for adding coolant (I would have had a gravity fed backup system)

5. critical systems were located too close to the reactor - I would have moved them further away so they could be repaired without the workers being irradiated

None of these are expensive to do.
So what? Is a medical surgeon not qualified to have an opinion on ObamaCare? Or are you suggesting he is not permitted to be against ObamaCare?
You don't even have to color over, or blur, or do any of that hard stuff. Just select the region, and press "CTRL-X", save and quit. No reason to do it any other way.
If you want to say something sucks, just say it sucks.

People also need to be a little more careful about using the word "sucks". It has a long history of homophobic connotations--originally it was used to denigrate people, generally men, by suggesting (in a derogatory sense) that they performed certain homosexual acts.

(When I was a kid, something that was really cheap and crappy was "ghetto"--"ghetto" being an adjective. Like if you had a really crappy car from the 80's, your car was ghetto. So maybe, even if the Ruby stdlib isn't a ghetto, the Ruby stdlib is still pretty ghetto in the adjective sense.)
What are you supposed to do?

Make choices you won't regret later. For me, at least, that's being honest. Both honest and dishonest responses make some people angry, so I choose what I can live with.

Lying is bad. Never lie, it will only bite you back a thousand times.

Not making a comment on something that's delicate can be okay if it's only about politics but if someone asks, I don't want to refuse answering either nor can I not tell what I think.

Sweeping actual problems under the rug is worst: it will sweep your working morale under the rug as well. Assuming that you at all care about the company you're working for, if you see something wrong it should be your responsibility to bring it up on the table. If you don't then you will, in time, stop caring about your job and the company, eventually stop producing any significant value, and merely submitting to the never-ever-upset-anyone culture while cashing in paychecks. And that's a hell for anyone with even a tiniest bit of self-worth and integrity.
ok, how does it work?

three elements
* video
* temp canvas
* output canvas

every 33 milliseconds (30 frames per second) render a video snapshot to the temp canvas, fetch the canvaspixelarray of the temp canvas, perform some calculations on the RGB values of the 230400 pixels, render the changed canvaspixelarray to the output canvas.

why the two canvas-es? better performance.

any issues? yes, you need three different videos, one for google chrome (webm), one for apple (h264), one for firefox (ogv). that's why the effect look slightly different on each plattforms (different encoding == different pixels).

does not work on ipad safari, as the render video snapshot to canvas throws some strange errors and security exceptions, pain to debug.

hope you like it.
...in mice, at least. It is well-documented that high-fat, high-cholesterol diets cause damage to the arterial lining due to inflammatory processes when fatty macromolecules attach to the walls of blood vessels and cannot be removed by the immune system (cellular debris from the immune reaction to this is what constitutes arterial plaques). I think it's logical that brain tissue also suffers through that mechanism, causing local ischemic micro-episodes and possibly the migration of inflammation signals into the brain tissue, both of which cannot be good for neurons.
The big difference is that GNUstep is focused on Linux while The Cocotron is focused on Windows.
The NDA comments across this thread are interesting, in the company I work for we NDA on just about every single external interaction. We're an IP black hole - anything you do using company resources (including sitting interviews) is considered our IP and is controlled as such.

We often get PHD students in to do research for us, and we compensate the hell out of them - because nothing they do ever leaves the walls. They sign a series of NDA and IP related contracts up front and don't get to use any external assets internally or vice versa.

The structure of the business itself is a mess of interwoven black box systems / IP and our own work, so it gets pretty aggressive / tight lipped whenever anyone is dealing with other people / companies, even internal branches.
I would love to see Blender become competitive with Maya etc but it's got a long long way to go. Though it might be closer than most, in part because it's competition is so expensive people are looking for alternatives. I sponsor Blender to help see that day happen and I wish big companies that are paying for Maya, Houdini, 3DSMax, ZBrush licenses would instead spend all that money paying engineers to contribute to Blender. But, as of today, while 2.8 made big strides, it's still missing huge swaths of features available in Maya and others.

Sort of like how Jobs founded Apple as the antithesis is IBM, at least that’s how the origin story goes, and now they’re arguably closer to the latter than their original incarnation.

In a standard italian keyboard layout the '\' is placed between TAB and ESC, and '/' is shift+7.

A lot of people think that '\' is the slash and '/' the backslash leading to some confusion among non-programmers (and some escaped characters here and there.)

> if that rate isn't worthwhile to people, they will start leaving and the bank will raise its rates.

No, that is evidently not happening. When I said "banks", I meant "literally all banks" (minus tiny regional credit unions or the occasional fluke that might give you up to 1.2% - wow, that is so much money, I could retire on it). People generally don't move banks either. They tend to stay with whomever they started banking first.

> You aren't 'letting' them and it's not a collective decision. You personally choose to give them your money. Put it elsewhere if you like.

My main alternative to holding cash in a bank is cryptocurrencies (which are accepted ~nowhere), or holding my money as cash. Handling cash has been in decline even before the pandemic, and nowadays I very rarely see people pay cash. Assuming that cash remains on the current trajectory, banks will become the only mainstream option.

> They can't lend money without deposits. The deposits are the money they lend.

They have enough money saved up in their coffers for that. I also can't imagine that most loans for a higher value than a credit card account would be entirely unsecured. This is especially true for house purchases - it's generally impossible to buy the house you want without a mortgage, and the house is what you lose I'd you don't pay them back.
> Same for movies and music. Yes, you've always been able to rent them. But in the future, you won't be able to own them forever.

What makes you say that?
Calling people Nazi's is a great way to dehumanize someone, but not really a great way to win anyone over because it's not an argument.

The only fascism I see is the censorship going around.

How are they Nazis or fascists? Most want limited government, and no censorship. Trump supporters don't own the media and aren't silencing people.

I don't see why you have to attack me or my account. You're the one calling people fascists and getting flagged. I just wanted to point out that name calling gets you nowhere.
What sort of regulation would you like to see?

I've heard folks suggest making it criminal to share or sell user data, for instance, which would be the death of freemium services.
I get my anthropology lessons from actually reading the recommended primary sources from all-sides of the debate, and then using my own judgement about what makes the most sense and what is most convincing.

Some of these were really lovely. The suspended helical staircase was super cool, and the dodecahedral torus thing reminded me of a diatom or some kind of symmetrical microorganism
No matter how you try to shoehorn it in there, it is not censorship for someone not to provide you a platform. Your viewpoint and perspective is free to be shared on several other platforms. They're not as big? So what? Your right to speak is not "your right to audience the size of your choosing".

Most math books are written in a way where 1 is the first element. So if you take math examples and translate to code, it works more naturally.

Also this is how you talk normally. You don't talk about the zeroth-column or zeroth-row in daily speech. You talk about first column and first row.

Only reason 0 based indexing make sense to me is because I began programming as a teenagers and was forced to get accustomed to it. But I remember struggling with it. Yes when working with memory, pointers etc it is more elegant. But if you are not, then I think 1-based indexing looks better.
Oh man. Way back in the long long ago I worked at Adobe. I was a test engineer on the SVG <script> tag, mostly making sure that the DOM methods all worked properly. Lots and lots of interesting micro-projects there.

The one I was proudest of was a 3d chemical viewer where you could grab the molecule and spin it. SVG was only used because it was convenient to do the visualization. All of the 3d transforms were done in Javascript. But to have Javascript that could fluidly spin a 3d model was pretty amazing in 2000.
I was in a similar spot, except with the addition that I gave up on installing a Linux VM/WSL because my gaming laptop came with Windows 10 Home (which doesn't support Hyper-V) and I didn't want to shell out $100. However, recently I gave it another shot, as WSL2 apparently works just fine on Windows 10 Home, and I was surprised how easy it was to set up. Took me less than an hour to get WSL2 set up and hooked into VSCode with all my preferred settings. I recommend giving it a shot next time you have some inspiration.
IMHO, I just don't buy this. Every piece of technology has its own set of quirks, pitfalls, and shortcuts. You can jump around from Rails to Spring to iOS to whatever and be a decent individual contributor. But to be a real Senior/Lead engineer that can be responsible for a project you've gotta have the in depth knowledge.
>I guess this is not the most up-to-date document?

it's also not correct. It doesn't have all 4GB "all to itself", because a portion of that (usually 1 or 2 GB) is mapped to the kernel.
Did not know that, I'll have to check it out! I feel like the news cycle makes a lot more sense in light of that.
There's a limit to that though. You can also pay too low of a fee and your transaction NEVER gets processed.

When you submit a transaction for the first time, it enters the client software's mempool. Miners pull transactions from the mempool if they deem the fee high enough to include. If your fee is too low, it sits in the mempool long enough that the client software purges it forever. It has to be resubmitted or it never gets mined
Mu is nice, but I prefer the alternative Notmuch: https://notmuchmail.org

The design is extraordinarily elegant. It's almost like a purely functional email client. It never touches your messages. All it does is to alter a separate tag database. Then it's up to you how to turn tags into mailbox actions, like deleting or archiving emails. It sounds complicated, but it's trivial to setup and allows infinite flexibility in how to handle emails.

The Emacs interface is beautiful, quite similar to Magit. If Emacs is not your cup of tea, it's quite easy to use as a backend for Mutt. In fact, Neomutt already comes with Notmuch bundled and deeply integrated.
Disruption. I like it.
You are correct, it has no meaning
I guess this is handy for very early layout concepts. Any designer worth their salt that isn't in a vice via client et al would drop it after the concepting stage.
When I was in a freshman math course, a professor started the semester with a warning: "Trying to learn math without solving exercises is like trying to teach a toddler to walk from physiology textbooks". Yet, I haven't found a good source of exercises for introductory category theory - is it the case that exercises for this subject are hard to come by? Or maybe it's a relatively advanced subject, so there are few books, and as always most books don't include exercises for some strange reason? Anyway, would love to hear where I can find exercises on the subject, if anyone knows. (BTW, I don't mean sprinkling an exercises or 3-4 here and there like in the OP, I mean like 10-15 exercises per lecture, which was the standard when I was a freshman)
In an earlier post of mine, I made reference to the Cosgrove Evil 8. If you're looking for something that you can do inside, these would be great for a beginner to do with a broomstick. It would give you an opportunity to learn a majority of the most important (and basic) compound lifts without being intimidated by a gym atmosphere. It would also give you one hell of a workout in a relatively short amount of time, something great for doing at home.

Being able to perform each of these lifts properly would make you more knowledgeable than MOST people at your average ballys or 24 hour fitness, and that should give you plenty of confidence to start busting your ass at the gym.

I'm surprised that this got so many views: this is neither original, nor well done. (he's late a few times compared to his video)

Also, I really don't like "magic" that works only for a camera and wouldn't if it were done in close-up performance.
Winning is important. It's why I go to the field. It is what gives sport value. Without the opportunity to prove I'm the best, I might as well go for a quiet walk.

That doesn't mean 'win at all costs,' but it does mean you need to teach kids why a level playing field is important. I don't think a 5 point auto-win rule is the right way to do this.

Referrers are coming to Ultimate. It turns out than in practice, you need them in top games. There's too much room for abuse. Look at the recent College championship for an example. The winning team did it by calling 'cheap' fouls. SOTG is still valid with referees -- there are no punishments in ultimate for breaking the rules (except for offsides). Everyone is supposed to be playing without the intent of breaking the rules and that's the difference between ultimate and other sports right now.

> I think a macro implies something that can be executed

That isn't true... Traditionally a macro just refers to a substitution, maybe (but not necessarily) with parameter replacement, rescanning, etc. I'd say that lisp-style macros which can execute arbitrary code are actually rather rare historically....

I believe that the background of students is the most important factor when it comes to education success.

When you put a "world-class teacher" in front of 30 students who have totally different things on their mind that are NOT school-related - like e.g. having to support their drug-addicted parents, their own addictions, having to care for siblings, for food or sometimes even for a place to sleep - then even a squad of the best teachers will not help any of these kids achieve "good grades".

Putting the blame for fucked up environments on teachers (like it seems to be done very often in the US) is unfair and stupid, because the teachers are in no position to change their situation.
I would start small; for instance, can you get every API to use the same foundation types (similar to Core Foundation on Mac OS X)? These kinds of changes would help programmers a lot and pave the way for more complex standards.
yes this one! it didn't show up in the first 10 in my google search for "Nouse".
The author's case is sensible and clearly presented but lacks context for the intended audience of the USA. It's pointless to say that Finland has a unified teacher preparation program, implying that other countries do not. There are in fact uniform teacher training regimes in the USA that are comparable in scale to the one in Finland. The New York City Department of Education has as many students as Finland has. LAUSD isn't much smaller. So instead of asking what lessons we could learn from Finland, would it make as much sense to cherry-pick some successful school districts from within our own country and learn lessons from them? Because that's essentially what you're doing when you use Finland as your exemplar instead of a similar-population area of Europe. How are the schools doing in Slovenia these days?
