* Working through Code School if I don’t finish by tonight—doing Rails Best Practices.

* Upload my first music mix to my site. Still need to create an album cover and section on my site for it—was hoping for an invite to Designers.MX to make things easier before then but that didn’t pan out.

* Prep myself for the Intro. to Japanese course I’ll be taking starting next week. I’ve been trying to learn on and off on my own but always lose steam, but I want to at least recall the kana before Monday.
>I've seen several and they are underwhelming.

Wow I would hate to have your perspective.

The Northern Lights are breathtakingly beautiful, considerably more wonderful than what you're seeing in photos, do not listen to this person.
No; something akin to minority shareholder rights applies.
Sennheiser makes fantastic products, even if they occasionally like to cripple them (http://mikebeauchamp.com/misc/sennheiser-hd-555-to-hd-595-mo...) and the sound quality is significantly higher than anything by Bose at a similar price point.
Why not just ask the client what they meant?
At lot of states are at-will, including Washington and Oregon. So if you think at-will employment produces slavery like working conditions (which seems rather overstated), moving the the Pacific Northwest isn't going to help much.

Also, when I was considering moving to the Seattle area, I got the feeling that non-compete clauses were fairly standard, although, that is entirely subjective and might be incorrect.
You should hire a designer (perhaps yourselves?) to redesign your site. It's not very readable.
What is done and what is right are not identical sets. Most of those ways that we restrict free speech, for example, don't actually hurt anyone. The "fire in a crowded theater" is usually taken out of historical context, where it was being used for authoritarian purposes.
Android has a Linux kernel and uses it's stack.
As a person in the field I can tell you that the IoT is not just smart lights. There are starting to appear smart sensors or even car infotainments which are Linux inside. Sure, car infotainments are not controlling the engine power or throttle but it is for sure requesting engine start up or displaying the glass cockpit in modern cars. Otherwise how do you think you can turn on the car with the new fancy app?

From what I see we are going back from general computers running an old version of windows xp or red hat into special purpose Linux system on a module devices.
The alternative to this seems even worse. To deal with the overcomplexity we get things like Boot and Webpack, which aren't even really build tools, but tools for building build tools.
...and it seems you can't use this feature with an iPhone (yet?).

From their "web client": Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, BlackBerry 10, and Nokia S60.

(In all fairness, my guess is it's pending acceptance of a newer version by the iOS/iTunes review team, but I really hope that's the case.)

EDIT: Scratch that. They're not providing it on iOS because of how convoluted their approach to a web client is. What they have to say: "Unfortunately for now, we will not be able to provide web client to our iOS users due to Apple platform limitations."

Yeah, right.

This reminds me of the case in a University of Michigan museum where a Native American woman and her son got those little dioramas of native people removed. Apparently after seeing them, her son asked how he could be Native American if Native Americans were dead (because only dead cultures are depicted in the museum).

So this woman, a graduate student, bullied the museum into removing the dioramas.
"AI is hard" is part of the reason why the profit potential is hard to bound; if it were easy it would also be very easy to assess the profit potential: It would hardly be profitable at all, it would simply be the economic baseline. And I don't see how "it's dangerous" contradicts "it's hard to bound the profit" either.
Basically, the professor was too lazy to come up with new questions each year, so he just reused old questions. Even worse, the professor didn't come up with the questions himself; he used the questions provided by the publisher of the textbook he was using.

After all, it's not like the publishers don't also sell study guides which include many of those questions...
where by "literary value" I think they mean dragons and vampires
I honestly do not understand people who cite the first amendment to the constitution as reasoning, but think the second amendment is antiquated.

(Note: They don't mention the second amendment in this article, I'm merely referring to the fact that I don't hear uproars like this when it is violated.)
Even a modicum of human intervention would help far more than any possible investment into more automated ways to address this problem would. At some point, Google just needs to gird their loins and bring the banhammer down. Yeah, that has problems. I could write about them at length. But that's not the question; the question is now which approach has more problems. I'm willing to try the banhammer at this point. (Though an accompanying investment into Real People that we could actually reach in case of error would be nice, too.)
Google uses jQuery. Check out the source of http://code.google.com/
Also, I forgot to mention the amount of outdated forum posts that you get with technical searches - that's the other huge problem with search quality for me aside from content mills and content scrapers. If I go directly to Stack Overflow et al to do a search, I can at least be reasonably sure to get an up-to-date answer.

More recent forum results should definitely be weighted higher than older ones, for a start.
Obviously if they are a Dutch company, then they must comply with Dutch regulations and authority demands. This is to be expected.

What is under their control (which I have not investigated) is how much logging they do. If they do the absolute minimal logging, then there's very little for the Dutch authorities to review. This of course excludes the very likely possibility that the overly performant Dutch intelligence service is monitoring everything from every angle (they have thus far proven to be very, very capable of doing so).
HiDPI working fine for me with LibreOffice on Linux.
Actually yeah that's a fair point. Thinking back on my comment, I'm not sure that what I said stands up.

I'm not even sure how one would go about measuring it, given all the other initiatives happening concurrently with this ad campaign.

Intuitively, something a bit attention-grabbing like this could reach more people than some stodgy "drugs bad mmmkay" thing, and I don't think it's wrong to spend a small percentage of a large harm-reduction budget on an awareness campaign. But that's about all I'd be confident saying.
Similar to the coordination problems among different trades, I think there's a lot of interplay between competing interests that make something that seems simple on the surface much more complex.

Take crane operations for instance. An organization may require union crane operators as a means of oversight to help guarantee trained and certified operators for a hazardous operation. However, this often has unintended consequences as union crane operations may also require positions like a crane oiler, which are largely obsolete in modern equipment.

I don't think that constitutes corruption because it's completely transparent and above board, even if unwise.
Got it lol! I live a pretty minimalist life myself; far simpler than the author's. It was forced on me financially due to illness and brain injury, but I must say that I now love living simply and having few things. I define my success in part by being happy with what I don't have. However, I'm not so naive as to think that just because it works for me, that it would work for everyone. Some people love taking advantage of the many things that this life has to offer. Nothing wrong with that.
> a lot of economics as it’s used for political decisions is way oversimplified to the point of being useless or just plain wrong.

Absolutely. A point well made by James Kwak in his book Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, where he complains about this caricature of Economics 101 that is often used to justify laissez-faire policies.

Every few months I look at the state of table libraries on the web. Of course, it's great to have pagination, sorting, searching - these are the basics.

I have been impressed with jQuery DataTables. jQuery DataTables has a lot of features, including export to Excel. jQuery DataTables works with Vue without any issues so long as you never mutate the table data. Mutating table data in Vue can be accommodated, but requires watching for data changes in Vue and making calls to the DataTables API.

I have a few questions about this library. Can it detect rows being clicked on (and emit an event, for example)? Can the searching be customized (I may want to display numbers in a locale-specific format, but match even when the search doesn't include the formatting)? Can sorting be customized (I may wish to the sorting for a field to depend on another, possibly hidden, field)?

What do people use in Vue-land for tables? Is there anything that approaches the feature set of jQuery DataTables?
It may be anecdotal, but I too have had success with pot. My sleep schedule has been more regular, compared with the alternatives. At any rate they are less harmful for you compared to say benzos or z-drugs like Ambien.
This whole set of lies really makes me angry. Ever notice how it's only the most powerful of powerful who complain about "talent shortage"? Those who have the most to gain from reducing technology salaries? Sure, you might hear about it being a competitive market with high salaries and all, but that's what it's supposed to be! Engineering talent is in high demand and salaries are supposed to go up!

If anything, they aren't going up enough. Programer's salaries as a whole have stayed nearly even since 1992 [1]. Furthermore, profit margins in the technology sector are remarkably high with very little spent on HR compared to another highly profitable sector: banking. Highly skilled STEM graduates frequently choose to go into finance because they can make more over a longer career without a cap on their income. The ratio of revenue to HR costs at tech companies and finance companies is way out of whack.

If tech wants the best workers, there are plenty of willing and capable Americans ready to pick up the work. Just fucking pay for it. Stop lying through your teeth that this is about talent. It isn't. It's about your stockholders. That's why you only hear the most powerful bitching about it since they are the only ones who would benefit.

I had suffered from insomnia most of my life until recently. I tried various things some mentioned here and also prescriptions. But what has helped me is pot. It may not be for everyone but for me it has helped immensely. But do your research some types are better for sleeping than others. And please, this is a sincere post.
> Those people generally use the phrase to mean "a shortage of workers willing to accept below-market wages and invest all of their time and energy in a company while bearing the downside risk of a entrepreneur but none of the upside."

I agree that salaries are an issue, but I can't agree with this attitude which seems so prevalent on hacker news recently.

First of all, the downside risk an entrepreneur faces is huge. We like to say we are the type of nation and culture that accepts failure and encourages risk, and compared to other places that may be true. But the reality for an entrepreneur coming out of a business is usually not super easy. Few companies are looking to hire people who ran unsuccessful businesses - the entrepreneur skillset tends to make it hard to market oneself. On the other hand, an engineer coming out of a failed startup will have the same trouble finding work they had as they went in.

In terms of upside, negotiate a position that makes sense for you. You're the only one responsible for how much of the upside you share.
"Why, specifically, is training not an option?"

That would take too much time! Better to spend years lobbying to expand incoming worker numbers vs spending less time training people in the skills you need (short term). Longer term look to invest in education programs here too, but hey, that costs money. Better to keep billions overseas, then complain about the state of the country's education system, than pay taxes on the money and have those taxes help better the very country you're complaining about.
The author of the article kindly submitted to open this thread has thought deeply about the title issue of the article and has written a whole book on the subject[1] (and parts of several other books on closely related topics). Other researchers on human intelligence give Keith E. Stanovich, the author of the submitted article, credit for bringing up findings from experimental studies on human thinking that will have be taken into account as cognitive psychology refines its theories on how you and I think. I see several comments in this thread along the lines of "The doesn't ponder" or "the author doesn't make the case" as if this article, restricted by a length limit, is the only writing he has ever produced on the topic. He mentions his longer book in the article. The article submitted today is a brief popular summary of an ongoing research program that the author has thought about as deeply as anyone on earth.

in which case, i use the inspector and delete the html element containing the ad overlays.
" but that's what it's supposed to be! Engineering talent is in high demand and salaries are supposed to go up!"

And this is the other half of the labor/capital equation, doing its damnedest to keep expenses low and profits high. It's supposed to work like this. :/
> If the browser is supposed to send the information, what are they going to do with those of US who do not use Chrome?

What would stop them from implementing FLoC in the cloud for non-Chrome users? Fundamentally, where the data is stored is meaningless. So long as they are pushing everything through this same "FLoC" model, they are claiming they won't be tracking individuals.

So on Chrome, FLoC is local —your own browser working against you—for Safari and FireFox, FLoC is cloud based.

So long as the web sites in question are running Google Analytics, they still have the software on your system on a huge number of sites.
I use dark mode with large text for this reason. It's definitely true that you can read smaller text with light backgrounds, but the comfort is higher for me with less light from the screen, so I'm ok with less info on the screen and dark background.
I suspect the knowledge was restricted to the working classes. I suspect that the noble classes didn’t really care about how Norese Greenlanders got their lumber, or how North Europeans got the fish they traded with. They’d much rather know where the Chinese get their silk, where the South Asians get their spices, or where the West Africans get their gold from.

Since the resources coming from the North Atlantic were not that valuable, the knowledge of the lands and culture there stayed with the people who worked it.
Freedom is indeed freedom to lie, bit it is also freedom to tell inconvenient truths. The two seem to balance quite well.
A few people compared my comments to “Less space than nomad.”

That's because some people should think harder about their comparisons before they verbalize them. The quoted comment poo-pooed an existing product that you could buy with a mere trip to one's local Apple retailer.

Poo-pooing the hype of something that hasn't even been invented yet? To take take the opposite side of that argument with any fervor strikes me as arguing for the sake of it. I mean, until I can ride in one, we could go on all day about when they're likely to appear, couldn't we?
It's quite a bit of a stretch to call anyone from after the 11th century a viking. But for some reason the epithet often gets bandied about when talking of the Norse in Greenland.
There actually are a fair number of burdens placed on advertisers w.r.t. the content of their ads. Ads are not covered by the usual "safe harbor" rules that service providers are used to operating under.

For example, Facebook actually can't legally permit ads that show products falsely claiming health benefits. If they're caught doing it, they're open to legal liability and their best response is to immediately discontinue as soon as they know about it.

Other online ad providers actually go through varying amount of work to try and make sure they don't get caught here. This is just part of the operating cost of being a big ad provider. Either you spend lots of money avoiding the bad ads (difficult) or you lose money to lawsuits for letting them through (damaging).
He got into origami a few years ago, and has a bunch of books and supplies that he keeps going back to.
You should edit the link and remove the #more-5896 from the end so that it goes to the top of the page.
My reason: they treat doc problems the same as code bugs.

Also, have used it on desktops for clients. But only POS ones.
A lot of my consulting in the last 9 months has been using Clojure and in the last 5 years I have had 1+ years of Common Lisp consulting work.

That said, I don't think that language matters that much - I agree with your first comment. Personally, I don't care much if I develop in Lisp, Ruby, or Java when I help people since most customers request languages appropriate for what they want done.
You keep saying "focused" everywhere. I'm not sure I know what it means in this context.
Well - that is the point! The filter should be faster than the "Unsubscribe"! :)
A foot pound is the amount of force required to move a pound of material one foot. By adding a surface area it becomes a measure of pressure.
If your answer wasn't meant as a joke -> No, it says "I myself was shot" not I shot myself.
He mentions similar numbers elsewhere, implies not a typo.

Any idea who's behind the data theft? I'm much more interested in that...
Somewhat untrue. You could still use linux, but just not in combination with continued (free) PSN access.
Back when I wanted to be an animator, I bookmarked that article for this quote:

>The skills we develop [at Pixar U] are skills we need everywhere in the organization,” Mr. Nelson said. “Why teach drawing to accountants? Because drawing class doesn’t just teach people to draw. It teaches them to be more observant. There’s no company on earth that wouldn’t benefit from having people become more observant.

That show how much they've got this "being an employer" thing down. Can you quantify "people becoming more observant"? Probably not, but they reap enormous benefits out of doing things that other companies wouldn't justify because of the costs. Seriously, at what other company can you essentially attend an undergraduate degree's worth of instruction related to that company's industry? Seems like a no-brainer once you think about it.
The Pixar office tour is one of my all time favorites -

I will never use an application that makes me tell it my salary on the first page.
Lisp has this convenient nature that it is better than every language, yet under its own weight it has nothing to show for it.

Maybe I can start a similar myth with Logo. It requires no proof. Simply one or two anecdotes, great hubris, and the ability to say with a straight face that the reason why everyone who uses it isn't productive is because we're geniuses. Anyone else in?
Can you give an example of something that you find large and interesting ?

Did you have a chance to take a look at the actual projects ? The projects are modeled after things that are already on production (Zillow, Medium, Flipboard). They are meant to get you started on those things.
Did you read it? My ultimate conclusion is that our current capitalism is half way pansy capitalism. This concept takes capitalism to an extreme and adds a built in dampner for inequalities of power while still allowing for the power of the market to opperate. In a sense we force a more oerfect operation of the market.
It's corporate censorship and not government censorship. Corporate censorship is legal to a point. We see now Corporate and State are highly aligned in every possible way. The party Big Tech supports now has control over the House, the Senate and the Executive Branch.

In which fantasy world is the consolidation of power ever good for a democracy?
If wal-mart stops selling a brand of ice cream, is that censorship? Is it censorship that wal-mart doesn't sell playboy in their store?

If not, then why is the removal of an app from the app store censorship? The world wide web still exists. Parler is still on the internet.

Seems like there should be some acknowledgement that there's a difference between refusing to actively participate in distributing content and censorship.
Yes, that was a bit weird! Though I assume that almost everyone will register expenses, so in practice it's not nearly as awful.

Reminds me a bit of when Greece required everyone to collect receipts to get the first portion of their income tax free. The idea was to indirectly force businesses to actually ring up purchases properly.
The `collections`, `itertools` and `functools` packages have most of these.
