Well, this quote is a little pessimistic because now almost everything is either Python 3 compatible or has been replaced with something that is and it's only been 7 years. :P

Even NumPy and SciPy work on Python 3 now, and it's not like there are massive differences between Py2 and Py3 anyway, so generally speaking it shouldn't be hard for a noob to revert to Py2 if it becomes inexplicably necessary.

It's time. All new code should be in Python 3.
"protestor" who was storming the capitol to overturn the election while elected officials were sheltering in the building.
This is not an unacceptable attitude towards any group of people.

It's also the kind of rhetoric that has driven so many in law enforcement into Trumpism.
Since the election results became apparent cable outlets have begun cutting away from the President’s speeches and tech companies have begun censoring the President’s speech.

Absolutely nothing has changed in the President’s speech or behavior since his 1st speech announcing his candidacy 5 years ago.

We needed a John Hancock 5 years ago that was willing to draw a line on violent speech and disinformation regardless of the consequences. Instead we got media leadership with their thumbs to the wind ignoring their platform policies and hiding behind a “public interest” rationale.

Too little too late.
Japanese public companies have been known to do a “poison pill” strategy to avoid foreign takeovers.

Free speech exists in the public square, not on a W2 (you could claim you earned $0 last year all you want, just not to the IRS). In the cases of fraud/libel, the specifics matter.

> it seems obvious that free speech is not absolute

We agree on this, but disagree on where to draw the line. Limiting free speech is an endorsement of the government limiting what I am legally permitted to see, read, and hear. I am unwilling to let the government make that determination on my behalf.

> Just like the right to bear arms does not mean that I can own any type of military weapon.

Private citizens (presumably including the founding fathers) actually used to own canons before the creation of a permanent, federal army!
Everything you list could be supported at the client level with a decentralized IP6 level protocol without a need for a centralized server middleman.
Anyone creating a new Ember.js application today is using babel by default. It works very well in my experience. I haven't used typescript however.
It also took them 10 years of hemorrhaging money to get Xbox/XBL right. Many people also thought they were stupid for doing so, but now it seems prescient.
Thanks a lot. I agree that I can definitely improve my skills, and I try to keep learning everyday. I'm really happy that you mentioned "Patrick Lynch" as one of the worst design, because its one of the earliest one that I did.

About having a homepage with a big "We do XYZ", I actually launched this with the intention of getting a quick portfolio online showcasing my design work. Right now I am expecting to get work from web developers who need a designer, or customers who knows what they are looking for, so I figured diving right into the work is the right way to go.

I intend to launch a full-fledged website in about 6 months with more elaborate information, a blog, links to social networks, etc. Right now, it makes no sense to link to an empty blog, or a empty twitter account, since I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regular updates on them, so I'll wait until I have the content ready.
Well. You cant really tell that without trawling through the papers themselves. For all you know many of them are refutations. (This is not the first time that someone managed to publish something awkward like that; Academics often flock to this sort of thing like sharks on a blood trail. You can get a lot of leverage by publishing early refutations)
> the usability of having a link that says "Add Question" to the right of the "Find" box, with no other button still makes me think I might accidentally be asking a question

I thought the search field was the input field for the 'Add Question' button too. I finally found out when complaining in IRC that Quora didn't have a search.
Well, it's a long-standing joke about Linux, but not about Unix. It's not pedantry, but responding to a decades-old Slashdot meme about Linux.

The geoloc thing is very creepy. If I'm on this site, I don't really like the idea that it knows exactly where I am (even if not exactly).

It might be better to have a button/link to enable it.
That's a reasonable baseline suggestion, but I'd prefer any technique to generate more compact public IDs.
I just finished all of the lessons. Great stuff.

I'd like to find out more about how to contribute, whether content, marketing, etc. I think it's spot on for simple step by step "learn by doing" approach to beginner programming.

I think there are a lot of possibilities...
Because outside the US, car racing is a very serious sport in which manufacturers pour millions.

Opening up the regulations would make it prohibitively expensive. As it is, there are very few teams able to compete in the few remaining manufacturer series like WEC and F1.

This is great, I will look in to this. Thanks!
They could put something in the ground - a weigh station - that the plane travels over before getting to the runway. That avoids the need for modifying airside equipment which is a bureaucratic nightmare.
What's implied is "that you need to keep track of/remember".
Companies can't "force" countries to do anything, the idea is hilarious. Countries have police and jails and armies. Corporations have got nothing.

Corporations have got media clout/ownership, threats of capital flight, lobbyists and so on.

> fine points of political maneuvering are lost on me.

Tangentially, how do you fix this? Googling 'corporate politics' leads to a bunch of useless magazine articles and leaves me feeling like I'm in Office Space: "I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are, googling office politics".
Recent surprise: exponentiation by squaring. Not by name, but by being the correct answer to the question. (This is in the list of 500, by the way.)

It's trivial to explain:

x^n = x(x^2)^((n-1)/2), if n is odd
= (x^2)^(n/2) , if n is even

Knowing that (or having figured that out yourself if an interview was your first exposure to this problem), it's even more trivial to implement, making it a math quiz far more than a programming exercise. (Though I later turned it into a programming exercise entirely to exploit an arbitrary eye bleedecution bug in the human brain: https://gist.github.com/LnxPrgr3/7154873d3eb8b1e5960851628c7...)

Maybe that's what they intended. It's certainly legit if the job will have you actually doing, rather than applying, math. Except that it concludes you can math if you're smart enough to pretend to derive the answer you memorized after encountering it before. You might accidentally hire a bunch of crypto nerds.
I'd say most humans beings would rather not work with assholes if they were given the opportunity to work with decent people instead. Just a hunch. So my advice is pretty stupid but honest: don't accept to work with assholes, period, then you'll make a tiny change in the world. Being a genius, a ninja or a rock star developer doesn't entitle you to be a jerk with anybody. I've always liked myself to be the junior in the room, you learn so much that way, you absorb so much that it's really rewarding in the long run. That part is really nice and you do the right thing feeling that way IMHO, there's always so many things things to grasp that you better go with this attitude. However, it's your choice to stay in such situation. I guarantee to you that are uncountable places out there with really nice people (equally genius, who don't call themselves ninjas or rock stars) who actually care about juniors in the room but you have to look for them instead of going along with this "be a macho, just take it! it's a wild world!" mentality of many IT people.
Sadly though, most religious people take the writings about that "metaphorical vision" to be literal. Personally I think religion should be open to ridicule. The fact that some of the most powerful decision makers in the world (all US presidents so far, for example) believe / believed in some big man in the sky and allow teachings from 2000+ years ago (when the world was incredibly less civilised) to influence their decisions and behaviour, is quite frankly terrifying.
I looked this up several years ago as reply in an IRC argument. Before I posted the reply I went though an actually looked at many of the quotes in detail (because I knew my interlocutor would do the same - I had been burned before!).

Disappointingly every one I looked at turned out not to be a "contradiction" at all - at least in the logical sense. But given the least charitable interpretation, could be construed as one. This isn't good enough if you're addressing well-read Christians (, and have any intellectual integrity).

I clicked on one just now, by way of example, http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/jesus_dad.html

The contradiction concerns who the father of jesus was:

Two "contradicting" quotes are:

"Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. "

"When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."

There are valid interpretations of these two quotes.

Talking about "contradictions" is pointless. What we need to be asking is, "what is the best explanation".

The best theory of a non-historical Jesus (a greek euhemerized tale about a jewish demi-god) interprets the first quote about "god taking the sperm* of david" as god having used the sperm of david to create a demi-god called Jesus. The later story about him being born to Mary is a euhemerization.

Historical interpretations "interpret" sperm to signify "part of a lineage"... that Jesus is descended from David somehow.

*the original text says sperm, "seed" is an english euphemism

This is already done in sensible parts of the world to some extent where consumer electricity is priced differently from electricity for business purposes... but yes, a more fine grained control would lead to better prices for most users.
I know they're not equivalent. But banks have broken here too, and people lost a lot of their money. By the way, credit card interest here is over 300% annually. Can get up to 800 depending on the bank.
But that's state on disk, not process state. It should not affect startup time in buildkit.

I'm not experienced enough with Bazel to comment on that.
Not only that, but also the potential for lock-in should be a reason to not use this.
Okay. It helps if you sort your fitness correctly. Also it looks like if you keep mutations too low, you'll get stuck in a local maximum.
Requirements are quite simple: sync up a shared folder between 3 macs, 1 pc and 2 laptops. OS are: Windows XP, Vista and MacOS. Data doesn't need to be on the cloud, but the sync needs to work reliably (dropbox messed up few of the syncs in a bad way and I had to get the backups out)

Data growth is quite slow, may be ~2 Gb/week

I don't have a full time IT person, so I should be able to manage things without going into system administration, rsync scares me

I want to pay may be < $.20/Gb, dropbox is expensive at $.50/gig on their highest capacity plan.

From what I can see AeroFS would fit the bill very nicely, but they seem to be not really available at this point

Another option I am looking at right now is Microsoft Live Mesh, which has an app for a Mac. I don't have ideological reasons not to try them, so I am installing it on one of the macs to see if it works or no
There would be many more using Facebook if it wasn't blocked. I'm not sure how it's doing now but I remember lots of students last year were joining xiaonei which is just a facebook duplicate for Chinese students only.

IMO many of these sites are blocked in China so Chinese companies can dominate the domestic market rather than for political reasons.
"Walking around covered in body armor and allowing the military to drive me to work in a tank" is nice protection but it's also very restrictive. I don't think the argument against this is so much that Cloudflare doesn't provide nice features as that those features are entirely unneeded for 99.99% of people hosting from home. The downsides of heavy protection are vastly increased complexity and dependence on a non-'dumb pipe' non-ISP corporation which kind of defeats the point of hosting from home.

You really can just host your webserver from home network and forward the port using your consumer grade router and consumer home connection most of the time and nothing bad happens. But this kind of tunneling would be great for when you have a bad ISP that blocks port 80 instead of just saying servers aren't allowed.

€120 for a CC processing terminal with the fees for setup? Doubt it. That’s the price of that little printer alone. Else they’ll be paying them back in processing fees.
The article addresses a very common problem. Drills are not the best example of tools to rent, since they relatively cheap and you use them quite often. I personally have gone through this thought process every time I worked on my car and needed new expensive tools that are used once. When I moved to a house, I always needed equipment (not only tools) on a short term basis. This is why I started https://www.1000tools.com I wanted to be able to rent tools [specifically tools] from people around me and couldn't find a good enough solution. So, we built our solution.

I think you overestimate Bitcoin's media profile. FT Alphaville is just mentioning yesterday's crash. Apart from that, only the Bitcoin press and fragments of the tech press (Wired, TechCrunch) have mentioned Bitstamp.

edit: whoops, added to the FT Alphaville article! http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2015/01/05/2079012/who-needs-cave... Come in via Google News for full text. They're using it as one example in a piece on how Bitcoin's infrastructures and the community's ability to assess expertise are not very good.
I wasn't saying someone should use Rust over Go because of Traits and other generic programming features.

I was saying if you are evaluating Rust then Go probably looks very feature light in comparison.

Same goes for programmers currently using Java/C# or even Haskell. Go is just a lot less featured than other high performance managed languages that are just as battle tested and just as fast.

This is not to say that it's not a good language or the correct tool for a job. Only that those programmers will be left wanting in many areas, generics only being one.

That's not a startup, that's a website.
This is very true. However it is certainly the subset I find myself on the most, ha. I think also for a lot of people, social media is the internet and almost inextricably so. How often do we see on this very site people bemoaning only visiting the same N websites when there's more websites than ever?

I think maybe perhaps for me a "read-only" internet would be useful, like a feature phone in a way. Might have to go and update my /etc/hosts now...

Does this mean I can finally play minecraft in VR with ray tracing and other advanced gfx settings ?
I'm sure it would make my daughter extremely thrilled.
Yeah, salts mean you can't use rainbow tables. But you can still attack a single user. The question is what "computationally infeasible" actually means. How much computing power would it take to crack a single user's password? How about if it's a weak one? A strong one?

If the answer is "it would take $1000 worth of Amazon EC2 computing to crack a single weak password", well, that's certainly feasible to do if you have a specific target in mind.
It's interesting that in the UK we abolished capital punishment even though at the time there was actually pretty strong public support for keeping it - so politicians can do the "right" thing occasionally.

Indeed, UK support for capital punishment has only very recently gone under 50%:

It doesn't make perfect sense. If the name is actually "Actually Portable Executable" then all users should be able to read it that way.

If it is only stylized as "αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε" a readable name should be available alongside the visual styling (using ARIA attributes, for example).
Thank you Apple for being one of the few protecting privacy
Completely agree with this comment and thank you for sharing your pointers for better quality/more effective reading.

Side note.. while I think your comment was meant to be educational & helpful in nature, I just wanted to say, there's also something beautifully poetic about the statement "reading to remember". It gave me all the feels!
Is there an implication here?
You have a point. A mess of shell scripts doesn't really sound like an improvement. If the config is too complex and the config consumer can be changed to simplify things then that should be the way to go.

However, if the config is a travisCI YAML file that is really just a glorified list of commands I don't think bash or a makefile is a bad solution. Take as much as possible out of the CI config and use a neutral standard format like a makefile to encapsulate much of your logic.

Then when TravisCI stops offering free usage for open source, its easy to move, because your format isn't specific to a vendor.
I wish this country would wage a war on rape instead of a war on drugs. But it seems to have no interest in that.

Obviously the big, glaring, unmissable difference between drug use and the other crimes you've mentioned is that doing drugs is a personal choice that primary impacts the individual whereas every other item on your list is only a crime because it has a victim.

Twitter will likely crawl the final targets of the urls, so that when bit.ly goes out of business, the t.co urls pointing to bit.ly can get redirected to the canonical link. So I don't think it's quite as bad as you're thinking.
That's not really untrue of doing it to get rich, though.
They could always take the approach those ads for some television with George Takei took: simply inform the viewer that their current display is inadequate to the task (1) of showing the screen image, make a joke about it, and not-so-subtly hint that they go check it out in the store.

1- Whether or not this is, in fact, the case is not relevant.

I should have been more specific. At the time, yes, it looked like the future and it was a big bonus that it ran on Power Macs, too. But I think that the x86 pivot, while I agree the hardware diversity was a huge barrier (and Neil Stephenson even agrees in In The Beginning Was The Command Line: "But Microsoft owns the high ground at the moment, because it doesn't have to write its own drivers"), didn't save them mostly because Be the OS and Be the company were just too much of an unknown quantity. I think that's what Stephenson was getting at when he said, "What holds Be back in this country is that the smart people are afraid to look like suckers."

Nowadays, though, and no offense to the OP, no one remembers where BeOS got its legs. And this has translated into what's been preserved. You can find some Intel BeOS stuff in some corners but almost no PowerPC.

Companies generate dollars by first generating things that some people find useful. Just generating dollars by themselves should be done with the smallest possible amount of electricity.
Any model created using biased data will inherently mirror that bias unless there are active steps made to counteract this effect.

For example, basically any financial evaluations of US citizens will likely result in an inherent bias against Black people due to institutional biases such as redlining that have long lasting socioeconomic and demographic repercussions. This might mean that something as simple as incorporating the zip code of a home into a mortgage pricing AI can end up with a racial bias.
I find it amusing that they basically "rediscovered" the C printf() trick, AKA variadic function trick.
