Exactly. For the example images I deliberately chose bright colours that might not seem obvious (at least to my uneducated eye) to put together. However, there's no reason at all why less outlandish colour combinations can't look wonderful; even the most ordinary sparrow is beautiful if you look close.

The Alcubierre drive has other problems (Krasnikov tubes look more likely, for some values of 'likely'), but not this one. There's no "instantly" in Alcubierre drives.
Listen, you think I know exactly how the deals are structured?

But from the tone of your post it would appear that you have participated in these deals yourself. So tell me are you a lobbyist, someone who hired a lobbyist or a government official?

Oh, you are no different than me - you have no data beyond your faith.
> Frankly it sounds like you were under the impression that Apple is able to universally and fairly adjudicate all claims in less than 24 hours. That's silly.

Well, it would certainly be a good start if they would use their lengthy review process to actually look at the apps. Their employees probably are too occupied judging what is morally appropriate for an adult Apple user to look at.
Unless the company submitted a formal DMCA notice to Apple, then Apple have no obligation to do anything under the DMCA, and so cannot have violated the DMCA process.

(Pre-emptive edit): Although the company says they filed "filed copyright and trademark violations" that doesn't necessarily mean that the copyright notice was a DMCA notice.

I don't think its unlibertarian to support the Fed's action here. If the Fed was a private organisation, that convinced people to use dollars by promising to maintain steady 2% inflation, then it would be printing a lot of money right now. So the government not printing a lot of money right now would actually be a greater intervention away from what would naturally happen.

A libertarian purist would say that money creation shouldn't be government controlled; but given that it is they should at least do a good job of it.
>I think people aren't really listening.

The PM's elderly father went on TV to send out mixed messages, by declaring that he will go to the pub and nobody can stop him, just last week. You have to wonder, and question the 'good' intentions of the government, after running point with flattening the sombrero and building herd immunity strategy, prior to the current situation? The Coronavirus Bill is being debated right now, across both houses, which will give the government sweeping powers; if there was ever a case for Hanlon and the behaviour of plebs ─ this is it.
Enum classes are a good first step, but C++ is still very relaxed on integer and float conversions.

I just wish I could use rust or ADA at work.
It's a good idea if you encrypt with the same key _once_ — you can avoid attaching nonces to your ciphertext (less code and data), and have only 16-byte key in the URL.

In fact, using a random IV with AES-GCM is not exactly safe: 12-byte nonce is too small to avoid collisions with many encryptions. The recommendation is to not encrypt more than 2^32 messages with the same key if you use the random nonce.
a document that supports embedding other documents is still just a document.

I think both have great support. They both have active and lively IRC channels where staff hang out. It's usually very quick to resolve issues with slicehost and linode.

The pain point for me at slicehost was bandwidth - they charge a lot, linode charge a little. Also far more options on linode etc etc once I moved that all added up to a better experience.
Learning something trivial vs. the creation/promotion of a blog post complaining about it. Which is stupider?
What is really cool is that the $10k can often reduce a home's POWER demand by 30%.

Pricing varies, but this gets to around $0.12-$0.5/kW. BUT. That's kW not kWH (e.g power, not energy). So the power demand reduction translates to energy savings for the lifetime of the building or systems in it..
As others have pointed out iOS does have virtual memory. As to why it doesn't use a swap file probably the a reason is that flash memory has a limited number of read-write cycles, probably way more than you could ever use under normal usage but with paging stuff to and from flash all the time you might reach the limits much faster.
What does this even mean? SpaceX and ULA both take stuff to orbit. If you have $$, you can get to orbit on any commercial launch provider.
So essentially, my little corner of Seattle is wasting the equivalent of a gulf oil spill EVERY YEAR!. Ugh. At least there's no damage to the environment from our waste... oh wait... :(

general definition of theft (not legal): the dishonest taking of property belonging to another person with the intention of depriving the owner permanently of its possession.

When I go to Youtube and listen to an extremely good song by Twilightning or Edguy, what am I taking from the band? Due to a few different reasons (money, I don't have to) I have never run across anything I will pay money to listen to or watch, books being a small exception since I like well made hardcovers a la Practical Common Lisp. I will, however, refer others to the good movies or music I stumble upon.

Unlike many proponents of torrents, I heavily disagree that all music should be free; that simply is not sustainable in my opinion. Not enough people will then go out of their way to pay for it and I have no idea how well bands do when it comes to concerts/merchandise. I do think that free music benefits bands but that overall benefit increases exponentially with how hard it is to obtain it, because those of us who would never have listened to a band's music before the internet (finding obscure bands via radio is nigh impossible) will often refer them to friends, while the rest who are willing to pay take the easier route - this is important - and buy music.

Currently, torrents, youtube (amusingly, even the official youtube versions are often worse to listen to due to censorship - VEVO is a good example) and other avenues are the better choice for anyone with loose morals, after taking into account risk and ease of access.

tl;dr those of you who will pay for music should subsidize the rest of us.

Email: redacted

I'm an accomplished senior engineer with 17 years of experience building products and solving problems. I'm technology agnostic; I use the best tool for the job. I'm also full stack. I like building features as a vertical slice through all layers of the stack, from the database all the way up through the frontend. I've worked at companies of all sizes, from 10 man startups to Disney.

I'm a no-nonsense programmer who gets things done. I remember when SPAs were written in Adobe Flex and run on the flash plugin and I've also used react hooks in anger. This gives me a unique perspective and judgement that comes in handy when evaluating new technologies, building new products, making existing products work better and solving difficult problems.
CodeIgniter, which is what the author recommends and I have used extensively, is already a very lightweight framework, or at least compared to some of the very opinionated ones like Zend. CI goes out of its way to make sure you can use or ignore as much of the framework as you want, with the exception of its core controller and routes system.

Components like templating, views, active record, form validation, etc, are completely optional, and it's trivial to replace or extend components without having to mess around with any of the core code. Just don't load that component, and use something else instead.
PHP has now split into different factions. Those like the WordPress community, who still party like it's 1999, and those around the major frameworks, libraries and testing and QA tools, who've taken their cues from Django, Rails and such.

The two have so very little in common they might as well be using different languages.

I'm oversimplifying of course. There are a number of large an quite successful communities that fall somewhere in between, like Drupal. The point is, neither the communities nor the code they write have much in common other than having PHP somewhere deep at the core. There is no "this is what PHP is like" anymore, and that hasn't been the case for over half a decade.
how does that work? the people paying the salaries would surely love to get someone who can do the same work for less, and the people receiving the salaries aren't the ones who make the decision as to whether a new hire can telecommute or not.
This is tangental, but is there a place online that aggregates all of these smaller boxes or boards?

For example, if I'm looking for something more powerful than a Raspberry Pi / Arduino / Beagle, etc. but not quite the level of an i3, where would I look?
Well it's not just about `this` but the arguments to pass to console rather. In this case:

n.forEach(console.log.bind(console));

forEach is passing console all of its callback arguments, resulting in logging of keys, values, and array.

What sets it apart? We will find out when it is released. I doubt GitHub would waste there time building a TextMate clone unless they have something intriguing or new to bring to the table.

For one thing though, we can probably expect incredible GitHub integration.
Find a specific problem within a category of enterprises, and create the software that can help to solve it. Then worry about the rest.
Right but that is probably deceptive. Just like you can mount a network drive and it "looks" like local storage. If you treat that memory naively (even like on 1TB RAM NUMA systems), you're in for a bad time.

As a reference point, getting a cache line from one CPU to another on the Xeon 5600 takes ~300 cycles, IIRC. That's just in a two-socket cheapo machine.

It could be considerably worse in this system.

I'm not experienced enough, but so far from what I've dealt with, treating NUMA systems as separate nodes and coding them as such is the best way to deal with things. And it lets you scale out to multiple machines easily, too. But there's probably some workloads that benefit from having what appears to be a single memory space. SQL Server, for instance, is aware of the various memory hierarchies and can optimize around it, so it might allow scale-up where scale-out is simply not an option.
Most IP reassignments I've ever signed have included the clause "any IP developed with the company's resources belongs to the company".

This would include anything created in such a VM, unfortunately. So, if you're not worried about that, it's a great separation of concerns. If you are developing new IP, though, you would want to be very careful about using your work machine.

I'm even nervous about logging into a personal machine via SSH from my corporate laptop, if I'm honest. Might not be enough to legally take ownership, but its probably enough to draw you into a protracted legal battle.
I wonder if the author considers the work environment and culture he describes as inherently unscalable and also unprofitable. One could imagine a workplace that maintains this kind of ethos while also making money but while remaining small (EDIT: 37 Signals is a possible example). I think it is an open question as to whether an organization can be all three - large, profitable, and 'a basement', to use the metaphor.

General impression is the same. I'm using Reflux and quite happy with it, but this does seem pretty smart. Having built in rollback of actions is nice, and having the versatility of where-queries to invoke action handlers is interesting. Not sure if its worth the switch, there aren't really pain points to be solved here... but my next React project might use this.
Have you just compared Comcast to KKK?

The reason you don't understand my argument after reinterpreting it is because you have for some reason excluded a few important words from it: "inherently", "should" (as in "should encourage") and "willingly". I am inclined to think your confusion is intentional and therefore explaining myself will be a waste of time.
You're right. OCaml will throw an exception here. Many of the functions in the standard library throw exceptions when it would be better to return an option type (newer libraries are usually better).

The exception will be caught and logged in the "callback" function below. It then rethrows it, but the unikernel will continue serving requests.
I have a dream that one day most of our software will be built with something like elixir and most of the saas products we're using now (octa, zapier, newrelic...) will be just installable modules with a simple api
Thanks for that insight!

I guess it's for the usual reasons. Telemetry / product improvement, and also more marketing data. Data is the new gold :)
For the most part, if I don't want something linked to my name, I don't write it.
>> On windows: 'connection failed'

>> On wpa_supplicant: 'associating... atempting authentication... getting dhcpc lease... dhcp timed out'

>> One says "sorry computer doesn't work" and the other tells you what you need to deal with the problem. Stop infantilising users, it's disrespectful and counter productive.

> that goes both ways. if you show the wpa_supplicant message, my mother wouldn't even understand if she is connected or not. nor would she gain anything by that information. you just came up with the other side of the same coin of terrible UX.

Yes, you need both. When I write error messages, I try to combine a "user friendly" summary with more technical information and a suggested action, e.g.:

"Wifi connection failed: dhcp timed out. Try reconnecting or checking the router's configuration."

If you don't communicate both, someone's going to be frustrated. And even nontechnical people who have no idea what DHCP is benefit from mentioning it in the message, since it gives them something to Google.
The defining characteristic of successful people IMO is not resilience but that their life has given them the opportunity to be successful in the first place!

There is nothing hyper-modern about condemning war, sexual assault, child abuse, and genocide. These things have been viewed as terrible by various civilizations since civilization existed.
I just started another playthrough of Factorio and I'm impressed just how well it manages to incorporate so many fundamental concepts in CS/CE. It's an incredibly useful tool for refreshing your memory of all that stuff you learned in college, but never applied in the real-world.

I built an S-R Latch for turning on steam power to my base iff battery capacity falls below 10% and remain on until capacity is above 50%. That, and figuring out how to distribute goods evenly across n belts when you can only divide in half is pretty fun to figure out.
The stereotypical NYT reader is precisely the ruling class.

The ones that always say their opinions are not a matter of politics.

The ones that claim "reality has a liberal bias."

When faced with divergent opinions or norms, goes straight to "misinformed" or "uneducated" for a label.

Generally speaking, they're nauseating, moralistic hypocrites.
I should write a SQL as a NoSQL database blog post, showing a trivial one-table schema that does all you could ever want in a NoSQL, especially after choosing to ignore that it still has SQL.

I don't know how well more trains would work in America, but I was not impressed at all by his arguments. No countries make a direct profit on their transportation systems. He also throws in corruption which seems like a separate issue.

I can likewise give some anecdotal evidence that whenever I rode trains in China they were fast, convenient, cheaper than buses for longer distances, and most importantly, completely packed with people who weren't burdening the roads.
The sum is guaranteed to fit into 128 bits
The hidden premise in arguments similar to the one the author seems to be getting at is that transporation infrastructure should be financially self-sustaining.

We don't expect that our roads pay for themselves, so why should our trains?

In regards to #2, I still think hiding low-value comments in some fashion would be the way to go. For example, how about hiding comments that fail to receive X upvotes within Y days? (And, of course, an obligatory link to display all comments, or perhaps all comments in a sub-thread)

Something simple like (for example) a comment needs 1 upvote per day to remain unhidden, until some number of days pass or some number of points are achieved (4? 5?), and then the comment remains visible in perpetuity.

I like the new no-points system, but I do agree #2 is a concern and could used some tweaking.
> Myth 3: If You Are Fat, Go On a Diet! – Wrong. If you are an overweight wrestler facing a weigh in, diet (here is a great one). Other wise you need to change forever. Diets are temporary. If you are overweight, you need to change some of your habits around food and exercise forever.

Speaking as a high school wrestler...my last year I had to cut from 130 to 112...most of it was water weight though I tried to keep under 1,000 calories a day. After the season, I gained that weight back in about 3 days, and then an extra 10 pounds that I have never been able to lose (not that I'd want to be less than 130 pounds). Not contradicting the OP...just pointing out, even if you are a wrestler, season-long dieting sucks :)

Also, one mistake that I hear of from casual dieters/exercisers...getting excited about losing 1-2 pounds after their first day of a decent workout and light meal...and then getting depressed a couple of days later when that weight ticks back up. Over that short period of time, that weight is almost definitely just water weight...for wrestling, we obsessively weighed ourselves...and the number of pounds (of water) you could lose in a 2 hour workout was always impressive. Taking a short piss was almost a sure way of losing at least half a pound. And even if you stopped eating the day before weigh-ins, did a normal workout, and restricted your water usage...you could expect to be at least a pound lighter by weigh-ins early morning due to water loss through respiration during sleeping.
I agree with the different mediums part of your comment but I fail to see how fb is "disregarding" the way people interact with one another. Clearly, they understand that very well and this is the primary reason for their success?
Yeah, the "meta." site of this site is nice: http://meta.physics.stackexchange.com/

Speaking of open-source programmer text editors, what's the best embeddable editor control for OSX? Sort of like a Scintilla for the OSX world.
This is very exciting, and will probably produce some extremophile (bacterial?) lifeforms which have been hidden for ages, and probably live off volcanic heat and gases.
The thing is it's easy to comfortably type, say, 60 words per minute if you use a computer a lot and care. When I learned to type I could do 20 or 30 or something, but when I found chat programs my max speed went over 100 after a few years. As long as you have any reason to be typing a lot, your speed should increase to the point where you're "fast" and don't care anymore.

Sure the benefit of typing 80 wpm instead of 60 is not that much. But the cost isn't much either, it happens naturally for heavy computer users.

If you're not typing reasonably fast, one has to wonder: why not?

No doubt a few people will have some good reason why not, or just say "I'm new to computers". But others will have a dumb reason. Others won't have ever thought about it. So you can learn about people by asking this.

It's kind of like: any serious programmer should learn a decent text editor. Yes you can code in a crappy one. Yes most of the time is spent thinking not text editing. But if you aren't using good tools one has to wonder: why not?

prices of US homes would have been driven down even lower and faster than what was already happening.

Then we would have affordable housing. Why is that a bad thing?

I think we exchanged the short term pain of some bankruptcies for the long term pain of years of deflation. Outstanding credit will continue contracting for many years, probably for more than a decade. This is deflationary.
