> This is the same type of conspiracies that the right is accused of having. Was there anyway that he could have announced he was boycotting the inauguration and it wouldn't be taken this way by some?

Yes. He could have accepted the results of the election and not promoted conspiracies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise

The Three-fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Delegates disputed whether and how slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population, as this number would determine a state's number of seats in the House of Representatives and how much it would pay in taxes. The compromise counted three out of every five slaves as people...

In the US Constitution, the Three-fifths Compromise is part of Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [italics added].[2]

Artistic drawings and photo manipulation have large elements of manual tweaking with visual feedback that are hard to put into programming.

In another field, Blender will make you go insane if you try to do any engineering work with it.
On the other hand doing art with OpenSCAD (you type code with primitives) would probably also suck, though it's good for engineering simple objects precisely.

If you could get the best of both worlds, then yes, but I think you run into limits with scripting in Photoshop alternatives quite quickly.
This is the second NYTimes article I've seen that has suggested that the NSA was collecting information on a group while that group was planning an attack, but that the collection or the analysis was not sufficient to stop the attack. (The other article was on the Mumbai terrorist attack).

This is interesting and you could look at it a number of different ways:

- Collecting data is one thing, but understanding what it means is incredibly challenging and the NSA might not be doing a great job.

- Even when they can't prevent an attack, there is still value in having this data so that they can attribute the attack and understand something about the motives and methods of the attackers.
Well, the main reason rural housing in the UK is expensive is due to planning restrictions rather than a simple matter of landmass.

Agricultural / 'amenity' land can cost a few thousand pounds for an acre.

The historical reasons for such sit on my reading list...
I don't get false positives, but the top right man isn't identified. Running Chrome 7.0.517.44 on Linux
Here's the difference. I've talked to some folks in the digital service. They aren't career government. They have no risk in committing "political suicide" by suggesting something that everyone knows is the right thing to do. Basically, if someone doesn't like what they said, they can respond with, "well I can always got back to my old job". The government workers don't have that freedom.
I just meant it sounded like the requirements aren't fully known.

That's hardly OPs fault, and neither more design or more TDD can solve it.
Simple example: Your new gay employee needs to move to a new city to start his job, but is denied any service from realtors after they asked for his sexual orientation. Still he manages to find a new apartment but has to drive 30 miles to the next super market, because the local ones decline to serve him.
I think the top comments there make it quite clear why it was flagged; they weren't socialist. This one seems headed in the same direction.
Some people called him out and he apologized? That's your response? You seriously don't see the difference between culturally-enforced norms/embarrassment and being arrested/jailed?

Sometimes I think my profession is full of professional man-children who enjoy being purposefully obtuse.
Thanks for defending the government which tortures and ignores the rule of law, great job dude.
The fact that you are being down voted is a shame.

The US government tortures people and cares not for the rule of law, this is the entity people seem perfectly happy to support? Where do people draw the line? Is it at genocide?
I got both portions this morning on my Nexus One.
My vision is that no country will have a visible power in the future as it was in the past. I think the world is changing, but it seems to be walking to the equality direction, looking from a high level perspective.
I'm not sure how what you said is incompatible with waterfall/spiral. You can certainly add/remove/change requirements, but you don't start coding until you have at least a first pass on some subset of requirements.
I appreciate the sentiment that you should know what you eat, but don't understand this mentality that I observe many vegetarian / vegans have. Oh no, gelatin snuck in your food, you're not a proper vegan / vegetarian anymore! Beat yourself up about it!

It oddly reminds me of those tiny silly inconsequential rules that you're supposed to pay attention in some religions. Like no alcohol. What does that have anything to do with the main idea of the religion? Oops, you ingested some chicken broth. Feel bad about it. Maybe we'll forgive you later.
I totally agree that it may be possible. But a deeper question is it optimum? We are coders, what could the A/B/C test of Vegan/Vegetarian/Carnivore be? No judgement, just interesting to me.
I don't know, sorry. It probably has a time lock on it.
Sheesh, you really love your conspiracy theories.

Ginny's post is primarily about debunking the ridiculous health claims in the original post. She's "suspicious" of the claims because they're ridiculous, and the amount of fervor that Tasha shows suggests that there's something going on besides nutrition.
I don't think Ginny's missing that at all. In fact, I think that's her main point, that Tasha's entire post is a post-facto attempt to rationalize a decision made for non-rational reasons.
The "if (temp) free(temp);" line made me chuckle.
Are those minimal movements really ergonomic?
C++ is better. Rust is a cargo cult language (same with Kotlin, Kotlin especially is a corporate language to sell more IDEs and Google was bribed by JetBraine to adopt it). Rust is just a bad attempt at reinventing the wheel.
First of all, under normal circumstances she never would have been anywhere close to being prime minister. The only reason (seemingly) that she got the job was that after the collapse of the previous government the new leftist coalition needed someone to pass the buck to, and she was pretty much the only uncontroversial figure they had.

Her coalition government's only redeeming quality has been to suck less than their predecessors which facilitated the giant ponzi scheme which took down the economy. They're wasting a lot of effort on the equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

One shining moment of incompetence was the press conference right after the president announced that the Icesave debt repayment bill would go to a public referendum.

She announced (well, mumbled actually) that the government was "disappointed" in the President's decision to bring the matter to a vote in a rushed international press conference hours after the announcement.

What they should have done is explain calmly that this was part of the democratic process in Iceland, and how the result might affect any future debt repayment.

Examples like these and countless others have shown that her and her government can't think two steps ahead, manage PR and foreign diplomacy horribly, and generally seem more interested in their pet leftist issues (which they can finally shove through, now that they're in power) rather than solving the problems facing the nation.

But what do I care, I moved abroad shortly after this all went down.
I'm glad that you like the API. I'm working on a side-by-side comparison of RestBackup and other services.

RestBackup receives the data from the customer via HTTPS and submits it to S3 also over HTTPS. So the data is encrypted in-transit but remains in S3 as-is. This is the minimum viable product. I'm considering encrypted storage as a feature for the public Beta.

RestBackup has per-request charges for the same reason that S3 and CloudFiles have them: to avoid losing money on high-volume request loads on small files. If you need to store many small files, it might be more efficient to package them up in a tar archive.

Thanks for the great comment and the tweet! I hope to see you in the alpha-test!
To my knowledge content which is Refused Classification (RC) is illegal to sell in Australia, however it is not illegal to own such material.

Here is an interesting link regarding the black hole of material which is refused classification.

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=10128

A pertinent quote being: With Refused Classification, Australia has a category that is not illegal, but the government would prefer that we thought it was.
This is what I do. Go to the shop, see what is on special, make something out of that.

Although lately, I just cook up loads of brown rice (after soaking it in water for 24 horus), and mix it with something. Skipping breakfast and lunch helps cut down on the cost as well.
> Your Elixir example is literally wrong. It won’t compile unless you do many changes.

I was typing this inside the HN comment box. And no, not many changes.

> So you forgot to remove most of the punctuation noise

For the two examples you could come up with for my entire text Elixir adds half a dozen new punctuation characters on top of Erlang.

> If you take examples of actual code

Of course. Here you go:

Enum.sort(["some", "kind", "of", "monster"], &(byte_size(&1) < byte_size(&2)))

I mean, Erlang doesn't even have `&` as a part of syntax, but sure, "Erlang has more punctuation".

Besides, Erlang's syntax is significantly more consistent than Elixir's. Just take Elixir's two separate syntaxes for maps, for example. Or the dichotomy between syntax for functions and lambdas (both for declaration and invocation).

The only reason Elixir feels like it has less punctuation is that Erlang is actually more terse than Elixir.

Just having pipes and function captures everywhere makes Elixir code have more punctuation than Erlang.
I heavily suspect that it's overdiagnosed in the US, but
heavily underdiagnosed in the EU.

I have adult ADHD, and even though I tried to get help when I was turning 20 and started to fail university (I had an average of 1.3 for the classes that I did finnish, I just couldn't commit to anything) it took me 3 years until I got a diagnosis (due to ridiculously long waiting times for doctors appointments).

In the end I only got a doctors appointment because I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and my neurologist, who is also a psychyatrist was like "btw I also think you have ADHD, ever tried to get help for that?".
Because those alerts are hookable and could shut down the instance.
the point was that the brown m&ms have an important signalling effect? and I said well there could be a case in which the signal you thought you were receiving from the m&ms being present was wrong?
I suspect that by:

>People thinking it’s not a real condition.

the person you're responding to meant statements like yours:

>Frankly, the symptoms you describe apply to pretty much everybody, and are just the things one deals with in life.

According to the NIH, prevalence of severe ADHD in children is around 4% [1]. This differs by degree from "the things one deals with in life" for most people - it's an extreme version that can be debilitating without treatment.

Sure, but if the cost of paying the fines for that is less than the expected loss of revenue

GDPR allows for fines of up to 4% of global revenue. Unfortunately the agencies that are supposed to enforce it are too feeble to do so.

This is either intentional misinformation or very poorly researched. Russia's surveillance capabilities are well established, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SORM

I can't count the # of times my tests were failing on new code I wrote and it took me one second to look at is and say, "Oh yeah... this" and just flip -> to =>. So easy.
I just watched the video on this, anyone that thinks the NYT is still the 'Old Gray Lady' is certainly mistaken. The visualization of the link relationships and the interaction of the tool is just beautiful.
So you are somehow justifying this illegal activity to make it "right". It isn't right and nobody should condone that type of behavior.

Why does the US have to reinvent its earnings foundation and the EU and the UK don't?

I believe the US dollar is in a long term downward trend because it is slowly slowly losing its reserve currency status as the US is losing its economic predominance. That's not a bad thing. It's just a reflection of Asia becoming less bad economically, which is neither difficult nor surprising considering how bad they used to be.

Memory; it's Java. Java is great, but is a memory hog. Doesn't matter so much these days (well it does, but what are you going to do... There isn't much OSS competition for Hadoop). The documentation is horrible though. I'm not sure if this is a 'new' OSS trend, but now that i'm working a lot with Rails and gems I notice that on that side of OSS it's pretty normal to produce no or completely horrible documentation; use the force read the source and that kind of hilarious tripe. Apache projects which are Hadoop related (Hadoop, Pig, Hbase) all suffer from this; you are hard pressed to find anything remotely helpful and not incredibly outdated. At least for rails you can find tons of examples (no docs though) of how to achieve things; for Hadoop/Hbase everything is outdated, not functional and requiring you to jump into tons of code to get stuff done.

Again; there is not so much competition for tasks you would accomplish with Hadoop (and Hbase) on the scale it has been tested (by Yahoo/Stumbleupon and many others).
A big part of why crypto doesn't work in my opinion is that it's hard to trust software and hardware with your money when you don't own the hardware or software or can't modify it freely. Nation-states take great care to ensure that you don't have exclusive rights to the things and therefore your entire life savings could vanish in the blink of an eye without so much as any guarantee of getting your value back. State backed fiat currency is by far still more valuable than crypto and the proof is self evident at this point.
Layman here! I see a lot of posts on that subject lately so I need to ask: Can someone design a RAM chip?
Nice! For my own purposes I once started on a Chrome extension like this: TabSwitch (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-switch/jibghim...), that uses a Most Recently Used ordered list and searches for domain and page title.

I really like that you have the interface on top of the web page itself!
I think you might have missed the point of the post you replied to. The point is that sometimes you don't need data. For instance, in the fashion world, one might notice a trend of people wearing a certain style of jeans. Nobody is going to go out and do a a random sampled study to see if this holds up to scrutiny, but the trend is noticeable to anyone paying attention. If you're involved at all in the open source web development world for example, it would be pretty hard to miss the trend of developers moving to Mac.
My bet is that her expertise in English <whatever> is vast and noteworthy. I don't deify the degree, but I certainly deify the accomplishment of earning a PhD. The fact that as an English PhD she was able to even get a job, much less a high paying one certainly implies that she's an expert in her field.

I'm not arguing about her pay, that's up to the market. However, the condescending tone of your post shows that you have zero inkling of what's involved in the PhD process (no worries, most people don't even when they think they do). I've lived through my wifes years in PhD school (accounting). It was as intense a 5 years as I could imagine anyone enduring.

For this, I recommend Dale Carnegie's poorly named How to Win Friends and Influence People, and attending your local Toastmasters group (you will improve your speaking substantially)

"Pire does not have any Perlish conditional
regexps, lookaheads & backtrackings, greedy/nongreedy matches; neither has it any capturing facilities."

Well that rules out nearly every use case I have for needing a regex in the first place.
I agree that cost of college is too much - but you're not forced to go to a private or out of state school. In-state colleges are not terribly expensive, especially considering how many scholarships are available.

As for getting the same experiences by not going, that's just silly. Sure the information is available online but it's not the same as actively participating in a lecture.
Also not produced at any sort of scale yet, which would limit its ability to be deployed quickly. These others are already in production and most of them cheap and common.
yes, according to the guardian - The Guantánamo files are among hundreds of thousands of documents US soldier Bradley Manning is accused of having turned over to the WikiLeaks website more than a year ago. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/25/guantanamo-files...
Customers have repeatedly and historically valued features over quality (for most niches). If somebody finds a magic formula to have both for a good price, this may change. But so far it hasn't proved consistently possible.

I will agree that a well-trained and well-coordinated set of individual software builders can occasionally pull it off economically, but it requires too many things to go right in terms of organization and staff: a lucky accident. Most IT shops are semi-dysfunctional because the usual frailness of human nature wins out over rationality the majority of the time. Dilbert™ is life, life is Dilbert™.
Perhaps System76 should provide Linus with a free laptop to see what the issues are from a Linux standpoint and get them fixed. I think he was using desktops mostly. Probably because of compile times.
Depends on your iteration speed, exact needs, and willingness to work on engine development.

Personally, I'm building my turn-based tactical RPG in it, which is absolutely a Big Project, but I'm not planning to release for a year or two, don't need complex 3D features and am devoting half of my effort to engine dev.

For single-player games that aren't very asset-heavy, I would say 3 months or so for UI to stabilize is a safe point to start work.

For games that have complex animation or sound needs, require networking or want to use a ready-to-use physics library, I'd estimate about 2 years from now.

If you're trying to build a game with very-little coding (and want something comparable to Unity or Godot), "a very long time" :)
I don't think it does, at least not for the security reasons you name.

If you are self-hosting a server, you may not have the latest and greatest features, but all the code you are running is open-source, so no sneaky backdoors (well, no more sneaky backdoors than the ones in the open source code).

If you are not self hosting, than it really doesn't matter if the server source code is open or not. There is not a single guarantee that they are actually running the that code on their server.

(For client code this is a different story of course, but we're talking about server source code)
I would say yes, at least to the extent that owners are aware that they exist and potentially become more likely to use.
Very cool! Can I ask what data source you're using for book metadata?
> markets are bigger than what you'd think ... I mean this is email we're talking about

I feel like you have it backwards. Email is obviously an extremely large market, so I'm not all surprised they managed to get to $1M ARR.

It's easier to carve out a niche if the market is bigger.
