Guy Steele once quipped (paraphrasing) that the most challenging thing about programming language design is the small number of paired brace characters in ASCII. Wasting one of these pairs for blocks the way C does is criminal. This forced C++ to co-opt < and > for templates, with all the parsing horror that ensued. Think how much nicer it would be if C++ template parameters had their own legitimate brace pair – like say { }.

Having significant indentation like Python is another option, but one I've never cared much for – it makes cutting and pasting code a bit of a nightmare, among other things.
Looks like it is comparable to javax.measure (https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=363). I used an implementation of that a few years ago: https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/uom-se

It's a complex domain, especially if you get down to having more complex units composed of other units and want to do conversions between metric and imperial. In our case we were dealing with material properties (chemical, physical, magnetic, etc.) and different countries and companies using different ways to record characteristics for materials.
Sounds like it wasn't worth the price tag.
For comparison, the original: https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd...

(Slightly discombobulating to read some of today's lucky 10,000 treating `units` as a (GNU) novelty when it's been around for 40+ years.)
The noise cancellation :)
Would you be up for venting that frustration in to a git repo and setting the tone by making public exactly that type of thing for the languages you do know?

Asking for a friend
I'm not aware of a context where immortal refers to organisms that can't be killed by accidents and predators. In mythology and novels alike, vampires, gods, elves, ..., are all called immortal and still can be killed.
My go-to test for such systems is converting miles per gallon to liters per 100 km. Can anybody give it a try?

Google did it well for the longest time, then stopped at some point. Now it works again.

Just tried it on iOS and it works now. Don’t quite remember when I last tried, but I believe it’s fairly recent.
i just googled beethoven at the right tempo and got a bunch of videos.

I generally prefer music that sounds too fast or too slow at first listen, so I'm excited to go through these.

One thing that I didnt't see mentioned, probably because it is Beethoven, is that musicians do tend to speed up their songs over time. If you see some bands that have been around a while playing their old hits, many times it will be faster than the record. I had always assumed that the original writer of the song was annoyed at the impatient drummer that sped things up, but maybe it applies.
Worth noting that they also have a WordPress plugin that handles all of the installation and related setup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/matomo/

I use it on a personal project site and it works very well.
I did this with a PHP script / Linkedin API when I was applying to jobs while still in grad school. Saved a boat load of time because I was basically just reconstructing and reformatting my linkedin profile to match the job description each time.

Linkedin has since implemented something similar: http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/
This. I was coming here to write this post. Walled gardens also mean that it is difficult to ensure you are actually using crypto with no backdoor, versus the appearance of using crypto.
What kind of detectors are you working with? Are they of a different kind or just more powerful than what's already up there?
One more update to your article: several mobiles can't use that, because it seens de animation on the QR Code Scan screen is not responsive. My phone is a example, I just can't scan the QR Code:

I lived in Newport Beach, CA for a year, and quickly realized that the street sweepers were an excuse to write tickets, not the other way around. I'm sure there are places where the streets are actually cleaner after the street sweepers are done, but in Newport beach, they only redistribute sand and money.
Anybody else find it ironic that this revelation was made on a blog with black text on a white background?
I think that the level of discourse in threads on paywalled articles is frequently disappointingly low. I think there should be a rule against articles on paywall.
I suspect a number of those are the types of companies that if they had to turn a profit, could do so by cutting back investment and taking profits, in addition to reasonable amounts of corporate restructuring and investment. Many of them are at least plausibly in that category. Some of them are not (TSLA for instance is not in a position where they can coast right now).

1999 was full of companies where even if they had captured 100% of the relevant market at the time, would still not be turning a profit or be viable businesses. They were fundamentally built on the presumption that 2015-levels of internet penetration and hardware capabilities in the first world would be obtained in 2001 or so. It wasn't just a matter of "they were investing what could have been profits into further growth", it was a lot more like "they were taking VC money and setting it on fire and calling that a business model". It is not the same today. (Modulo my caveat about advertiser money above.) It may be bad. But 1999 was insane.

I can easily see a correction, even one we'd consider large. But I would bet the "correction" doesn't undo more than two years of stock market growth when it happens, and it may not even manage to cause a recession, or if it does, a very minimal one.
I'm assuming this uses similar encryption algorithms that you can use to do queries on encrypted data?
I asked my self the same question, scanned the linked article and did not find any matches for "screen". So please, could you tell me in short, what the benefit is?

From the video you see the front wheels rolling back, rather than trying to grip forward. This was rear wheel drive.

I don't mean to criticize, what I said was "you are not alone."
Even if hashes are stolen, you should consider the original password stolen as well, because it's only a matter of time and effort to brute force the original password from the hash. Even if you use a really good password with a really good hash (like bcrypt), it still doesn't mean that they can't find the password, just that it will take more time to do so.
That's ridiculous, nobody refers to the process of checking out as "1-click"-ing, there are even non-alphabetic symbols in there, that is not a generic name. You're just being knee-jerk in your desire to defend apple.
That was the theory anyway. Now we don't have PSN access either.

Sony isn't a small record store.
Oh lordy... For a quick temporary fix: Turn "start your first campaign" into a button. Turquoise should not be used for both the header and the main content, use it for just the header, make the main content area white with very very little or no texture. Turn "Get Announcements Noticed" into "Get Your Announcements Noticed". And everything under it in a bullet point.

It's a temp fix, there's some serious work to be done but it'll at least be better.
I like and agree with the article, but:

an attempt was made to port part of that code (the
planner) from Lisp to C++. After a year that effort
had to be abandoned because the planner team just
couldn't make it work.

I'm sure they'd struggle just as much if the planner was written in assembly, and not because assembly is a far more elegant language...
This article also mentions about whatsapp in business usages. Interestingly, all those points resonate with a messenger project that we are working on. http://peer.im
Escargot isn't exactly fine dining in china, you can find them at any low end night snack place in the summer.

By Paul Graham's description in that "Let in the 95%" article, companies are standing around with their dicks in their hands hoping that they find "the best" engineers, but on the cheap. If a company wants to hire 30 more "great" engineers, but isn't bumping up their pay to get at least 15 at a higher rate instead... there's something really off happening.

It's standard economic theory that wages are sticky. I think for a while, at least the past three years, junior developers (especially in web dev) have been overvalued and seniors undervalued. From my recent job search, I think this is starting to change, which is why the whole "not enough engineers" is reaching a fever pitch (ie, we can't find seniors at the traditionally understood market rate, as everyone realizes seniors are a better buy right now).

As it stands, career programmers in the US who are good but not celebrities generally try to move into management/consulting/whatever because their career stalls otherwise. Solve that problem (PAY MORE) and we've got our programmers.
Imagine that some civil servants hates, for instance, the BNP. If the proposed system is implemented carelessly, (s)he may elect to "lose" the randomly-chosen vote that would otherwise put a BNP politician in power, and hope that the "next" vote will be for a party more to his/her liking.

"Recounts" are nonsense, but I can imagine that an audit might help against the above scenario.
I jumped ship from godaddy long ago, but I was going to move to hover soon because my current reg doesn't support spf records. I've been putting off doing this for 6 months. Good registrars+ nice nameserver UI is hard to come by, apparently.
Personally I think the whole wave-particle business shouldn't be touched upon until the student understands that in reality those things are just complex vectors in a configuration space, not a little ball bouncing around. Equivalently you can think of them as outlined in Feynman's QED (which anyone interested in physics should read), as arrows. The word "wave" shouldn't ever be mentioned in introductory quantum mechanics.

Then once that's over, you explain to the students this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7OEzyEfzgg it's a duality of interpretation, not reality, we use wave mathematics for simplified calculations. Plus if you interpret it as a wave (as Feynman shows) you run into problems with experimental results not coming out as expected that a particle interpretation doesn't have problems with. (And for some reason I can't think of color in terms of waves, it makes much more sense if I think of it in terms of the energy of a photon with the brightness as a function of how many photons there are, which then ties back to a probability point of view where it's obvious that it's brighter where there's probabilistically more photons.)

http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ remains for me the best introduction to thinking sanely about the subject without becoming confused from the get-go as you start talking about waves vs. particles.
Here's a BBC video:

Not sure I agree. What indication do you have that this is a "strong trend" or that a significant number of users want this feature? Maybe they see that a small number of users would have a disproportionate impact on their service.

Not supporting something that a small number of users want if it would make the service worse for other users is the sort of decision every web service makes every day. Why isn't this just another case of that?
iMessage seems to be a bit dishonest, because Apple, the owner, has way more information about you through iCloud and Apple ID - contacts, location, payment data, phone number, etc.

Forcing Facebook to clearly list all of this for the facebook account is great, but then failing to disclose this for their own account seems like double standard.

Just like having their own separate Ad Tracking switch which is on by default. (And even hidden under "System Services" on macOS!)
See 'caf's comment above: "in the MI185 case it's thought that the pilot killed the co-pilot with a fire axe before bringing down the aircraft."
There's actually a forum called the Professional Pilots Rumour Network: http://www.pprune.org/
What about the much less hypothetical case that one of the pilots becomes unconscious while the other is out of the cabin. How is he supposed to get back in, ever?
And unlike bitcoins, the atom coins aren't traceable!
It's a question of how much the government pays versus how much private investors pay. Nobody will do this work for at-below cost (as government grants tend to be), with no upside potential. It's like a seed investor offering you these terms: we'll pay 80% of your development expenses, but we get 100% of all future profits. People in the medical space can do the math just as much as people in the consumer tech space.
I don't think there is going to be a lot of merging behind done so it probably doesn't matter.

"Mallon is a 26-year-old in New York City who works as a branding sales consultant to tech companies, regularly working from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. "

What? Who the hell thinks this is healthy? This person is literally filling all their waking life with work. Even if you love the shit out of your job, you're neglecting your mental and physical health by working that long. (And in all likelihood, she doesn't love the shit out her job. You'll be pressed to find just one person on Earth who'd be happy spending every hour of their day "branding". And I'm a marketing manager!)

And it's not like this person doesn't have other options. She makes enough money to live in a fancy San Francisco apartment and hire on-demand services to do everything. So she's making bank. But all that money's just going to keep up an expensive lifestyle that she doesn't even have time to enjoy.

I just hope she's got a plan. Maybe save as much as possible and retire early. Otherwise, what is she doing with her life?
Ah, but it does. Statements are separated by newlines. That is the same as significant whitespace (or a statement separator; you can interpret it either way).
I think Binance has the same thing. They have the "Binance pegged BTC" and you have to pay an additional fee to get the "real BTC" which you could put in the "real BTC wallet"

IIRC, this myth stems from a successful govt propaganda campaign that aimed to reduce power usage at night and put an end to rolling blackouts.
From a political perspective, yes for sure. From a technical perspective, less so. The Cats ecosystem and ZIO are meaningfully different with their designs that the two evolving separately isn't so bad in my opinion.

The Scalaz/Cats schism was worse in the sense that they were largely the same (at least at the time) which led to a lot of duplicated effort.

There is no proof that microplastic harms humans, so I would not call it "heavily polluting" until we have hard proof that it actually is.
> the researchers attached high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to the dryers, which would eliminate most of the bacteria from the air passing through the dryer.

As I recall, one of the selling features of the Dyson Airblade is that it has a HEPA filter built-in.
> Edit to add: Many replies are acting as if it's difficult to automatically, digitally track conversions and taxes, to then pay your taxes? It's a digital "currency" we're talking about here.

As someone who has to deal with this every year, yes, even if it is "tracked automatically", it's a huge pita to manage.
If you Ctrl+F to some link text in Chrome and hit escape, it focuses the link so that hitting enter will navigate to the page.

Yes, but back then they did not have the Internet, apps and such.
You make valid points and, in general, the top-down prop passing convention is the recommended approach with React. This works well if most of your state can be managed client-side with, e.g., Flux stores. There are some cases, though, such as large scale paginated data sets, that require out-of-band requests to a service (even if they are managed through stores). This is the case that's problematic. For these components, I just render out scaffolding and a loading indicator.

Thanks for the recommendation. The only reason for jQuery is the occasional external dependency and the XHR wrapper.
I don't know if zee gained any skill over time, but I believe he simply used public exploits.

So for example remote command injection vulns:

http://en.1337day.com/exploit/description/20602

http://en.1337day.com/exploit/description/20671

Then it is just a matter of figuring out where these routers are, and then writing a few scripts to exploit and command them in mass. I don't think CSRF/XSS would net him the vast numbers he'd need to make a significant ddos.

And to more specifically answer your question, by "incoming connections", I mean like monitoring the ddos via netstat on a box zee was actively attacking.
> What I find intriguing is that if you assume that everything is based on cause and effect, then (I think) you necessarily run into an infinite regress problem (the cause of a cause of a cause …) unless you define some "uncaused cause", or the concept of causation breaks down at some point.

Another possible resolution is a cyclic picture (something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model), in which the cause of the cause of the cause of … may be the original event.
It won't work because Pride. This language will have to be one that is not tied to any culture.
Isomorphism was already a word before Nodejitsu abused it. Your examples are acronyms and abbreviations.

Nevermind that this concept is not even worth a name.
Philosophical prejudice in favor of "no hidden variables".

Even the hypothesis that this is the only universe requires hidden variables (to explain what snuffs out the other universes, setting up this one as the one and only).

Can a loading screen not be beautiful? Would the world really be a better place if we all said "very pretty" instead of "beautiful"?

Maybe you just don't like it as much as other people do. That just means your tastes differ, not that others are abusing language.
>>You could, for example, draw a distinction between responsible whistleblowing and irresponsibly fleeing to a foreign country with literally thousands of classified documents.

Ah, okay then. This position is completely reasonable.
Okay, that makes more sense. The number in isolation seemed odd.
So you don't think UI/UX design can be beautiful? I Agree that it takes alot for me to use the word "Beautiful" in the context of software aka Code. But design isn't code.

And although I do think this library is supporting the case of being lazy and not optimizing your code and load times. I do think its beautiful.

That assumes the insider has a target in mind, though. How would NIST know that I am about to use the first bit of the number in a particular heads/tails scenario? How would they know I intend to use the upcoming 3:31pm number as opposed to the upcoming 4:59pm?
Unless the company goes out of business or someone buys them out or they decide to limit history to 30 days... too bad Facebook doesn't let you export your data!
In short.

* MacBook Air doesn't do well w/ video calls.

* They did a bunch of research to see how many friends people have and what people wanted from their phones.

* They believe they're different than Instagram or Picplz because their product more-closely maps to how sharing works in the real-world.

* Product uses an asymmetric sharing model, which is new and interesting intended to apply how many people a user is "meant to share with".

* Mid-interview screen-savers popping up are hilarious.

* They spent a lot of time on time on tagging "so people can understand who they're interacting with every day".

* Their value-add is that they let you share things with people that are important to you.

* They're iPhone only for now, but plan to expand to Android & Blackberry.

* In response to question about the number of people they're staffed with, they're proud of the talent they've attracted.

* They believe the work they're doing is really important.

* Silicon Valley is the place to be for innovation.

* Nobody knows how to pronounce February.

While many of the Israel procedures might be kinda hard to implement in the States or Canada (or elsewhere), there's really a few that really should be looked at. Like the whole containment thing.

"First, the screening area is surrounded by contoured, blast-proof glass that can contain the detonation of up to 100 kilos of plastic explosive. Only the few dozen people within the screening area need be removed, and only to a point a few metres away.

Second, all the screening areas contain 'bomb boxes'. If a screener spots a suspect bag, he/she is trained to pick it up and place it in the box, which is blast proof. A bomb squad arrives shortly and wheels the box away for further investigation."

I mean... you gotta admit. That just makes so much sense.
I think a big problem in this space is liability, as a medical provider you have legal protections that help defray some of the liability associated with breaches in data, and more importantly subpoena power from the feds. Any data a user gives to you has to be given freely by the patient, bypassing HIPAA, and thus making that data available to parties it would not otherwise be available to.

This is the real reason only the big guys like google and MS are really trying this out IMHO, because they've got a big checkbox to face the potential legal ramifications of this problem.
It's easy to become a CTO at a small enough startup.
Wow, it really lost steam by the time it got to Twixt. There wasn't even a story there.
