To "finish the job" one has to patch the native package managers themselves which is a huge undertaking. Neither DPKG nor RPM support installing multiple versions of the same package.

Furthermore, why should it be npm/RuyGems/CPAN/easy_installs/pip's responsibility to "finish the job"? Why can't DPKG and RPM just support multiple versions as well as the ability to recognize files outside their native database? Right now DPKG and RPM don't recognized software installed from source tarballs (./configure && make install).
I did the Google searches mentioned in the article and did not find anything with the word "decor" in it on the first page of results.
There are other ways. One could, for example, report the sites - there are atleast two sites that are owned by the same jerk according to various sources - to Google, Phishtank or Netcraft.

EDIT: You can also report them to McAfee Secure and Authorize.net. I don't think they are happy about having a scamming merchant using their logos.
We must be REALLY different. AIMA is just one of those books that put me to sleep. Maybe I find vintage AI boring, or the book is just too fat, but I really hated it.
So, here's the crazy thing. Back-of-the-envelope, but it gives a picture. Harvard has 20,000 students, give or take. Plucking a number from the air, let's say that one year of study is $50,000. Across 20,000 students, that's $1B in tuition fees. Harvard's endownment is $36B.

For less than 3% of their endowment, they could give 'free education'. Obviously the whole picture is a little more complex, but it does add some context around funding.
I looked this up and I see it came from the book cashvertising - is it any good? The information looks useful but the cover looks spammy, and I worry the Amazon reviews are bought.
1. Yes

2. I got that the site was about making creating APIs easier for developers, like me, but I wasn't sure how it would make it easier.

3. Since I wasn't sure how exactly this would help me I had to dig through the guide to find out. Since you're audience are server-side developers, having flow charts or some charts object model showing the relationship of the mashape.com service, my code and my data.

I think I got it, but correct me if I'm wrong.

1. I download your SDK.
2. I generate my endpoints on my server to get/set data
3. I generate an xml definition so I can upload to your server.
4. You start providing the REST endpoints to my data

How about reporting?

How about SSL support?
An excerpt from the official announcement made earlier, and currently also on the front page. I'd downvote if I could.
I disagree, Viper mode is a very thin imitation of a few Vim commands. Slightly too thin for my liking, even on the most compatible of modes :p

Besides, to really experience the benefits of Emacs you have to dive right in. There are many Emacs features I wish Vim had but I fear many of these diminish in value when taken out of their natural environment. The reverse can also be argued to a lesser extent.
Except that we already spend considerably more than other developed nations for no better care or outcomes.
You have to have asked for the Significant Location Update Service.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that one, does anyone know of any studies or have any opinions related to darkening the sides?

I agree with you, and in cases where the HFT bot gets no special privileges, then they are under absolutely no obligation to be there when hell is breaking loose. Why is everyone so mad at the bots for playing it safe and deciding not to trade?
Looks nice, the only bit I don't like is that if it is full screen you have a vast expanse of white on either side of content, which I find a bit distracting for some reason. I always think dark bars down sides help to focus your eyes into the content area.

BS. Sure, the Russian winters harmed the German war machine greatly, but it's not as though that alone was the sole determiner of the outcome of the war. Even had the winters been milder the Russian forces would still have taken a heavy toll on the Germans and were nearly guaranteed to win that conflict by benefit of logistics alone.

Moreover, even had Russia fallen to Germany the American/UK military might by 1945 was far too great even for a Germany backed by the natural resources of Russia to withstand. By mid-1945 the allies had put together a machine in the Pacific theater in the form of bombers, submarines, and combined forces capable of razing cities, ravaging shipping, and conquering territory at an incredible rate. It would have been perfectly possible to direct some or all of that apparatus at an unbowed Nazi regime in mid to late 1945 through 1946 and visit utter devastation on Germany until it was incapable of fighting any war. And this is sans nuclear weaponry, factoring those into the equation merely accelerates the end of this hypothetical war. Such a war would have been even more brutal than WWII was, but the outcome would not change.

Given enough time climate change will have a drastic impact on human quality of life and it's the poorer parts of the world that will feel it most.

We seem to be going through stages of climate denialism: Climate change doesn't exist -> it does exist but it isn't man made -> it is man made but it's too expensive and disruptive to fix -> ???

That's a lot of dead birds. "Occasionally, hundreds of birds may land on a vessel in a single night." http://www.scillypelagics.com/seabirdslandingonships.pdf . Some might be endangered or otherwise protected.

Big waves can reach the deck, causing water motion. (Eg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qf_ATRDk0 )

Big waves can cause the ship to flex, causing internal motion. (Eg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Mw6L69b6Y ).

Where do the drones go in case of storm or breakdown? To the ship? If so, that's more motion on board.

The Coast Guard and the Navy like to board ships in order to carry out an inspection.
I think you misunderstand a little. That's not the consequence of an efficient market, that's the definition of an efficient market. ANY market where the price of an item is higher than its marginal cost is an inefficient one. (The cost includes opportunity cost, though, so it's not like the widget factory needs to make zero accounting profit on the operation).

It's quite probable, of course, that software in the general case is prone to market inefficiencies, especially in the short run: there are high fixed costs associated with producing software. Yet extant software is so stupidly easy to copy that it's unthinkable that, thousands of years hence, things like WORD PROCESSORS will have a good reason for costing money. So how long will it take to get there?

It's always sad to see Libertarians sacrificing their principles as soon as it involves a slight inconvenience to themselves.

Net Neutrality means handing control of the internet to the government. Regulatory capture and special interests will ensure any Net Neutrality legislation is an unworkable mess that sets investment in the internet back decades.

For video things would be even worse. Do you want Congress telling Amazon which video formats they have to use, and which formats the devices they sell must support? When Amazon doesn't want to support some proprietary standard that congress members got bribed to pick then the thugs with guns will turn up at Amazon HQ and Amazon will be unable to defend themselves.

He's saying conditions now are not the same as in 70's. The causes of inflation are different, and they are not likely to go into a spiral. Some obvious facts are that raising interest rates is not going to magically produce more workers to alleviate a worker shortage or improve supply chains by getting ships unloaded faster and IC foundries to produce more nor will it encourage more people to eat at restaurants and stay in hotels and fly on airplanes. We'll see what happens when the Fed raises interest rates; the reaction may not be what is expected because things are not normal. The stock markets seem like a bunch of frightened cattle, afraid of any change at all.

The moral principle in this case is that we don't think jail (or worse) should happen without being proven guilty. That does not mean we collectively believe all consequence requires proof of being guilty. Morals and punishment are not binary systems.
There was also a network level curator like PBS, Nickelodeon or Disney. Are there people/teams making vetted youtube playlists of content that surpasses a certain level of quality?

That would be an interesting Kids mode. "Only allow videos from playlists that have been added/sunk to this account." Kind of a middle ground between making Google the content arbitrator and being able to watch every video before your kids do.
I’ve wondered too. I remember looking into the various conspiracies / scandals from a few years back (Elsagate and similar things) and some of it was just extremely bizarre (and likely frightening to some kids) and just had such a mass of content.

There are all sorts of conspiracies from some psyop stuff to AI/ML generated content. I have not ideas what to even begin to think.

The easiest answer I suppose is just some companies found an easy way to mass produce videos towards an demographic that will not mind mindless clicking, and that that will translate to more views and more money. That still doesn’t explain the bizarre and disturbing content some of them put out.
Before people had internet it was ~5 media companies that decided what could be said in public and who could say it. It was hardly as "free" as people imagine.
The biggest problem with any CI system is that you need an execution environment. Changing this environment should be the same as changing the code. Docker (or rather podman) has given us the tools to do this.

Now if CI systems would allow me to build that container image myself, I could pretty much guarantee that local build/tests and CI build/tests can run inside the same environment. I hacked something like this for gitlab but it's ugly and slow.

So in conclusion, I think that CI systems should expect container creation, some execution inside that container, and finally some reporting or artifact generation from the results.
My guess is that it's not purely elevation/weather based, but that certainly is a factor for people's comfort. E-bikes can help with the elevation issue at the cost of being more expensive of course.

What's the level of bike infrastructure available? It can be surprising how protected people need to feel from cars to use bikes over other modes of transit. I personally only bike in bike lanes and will avoid sharrows and walk my bike on the sidewalk if there isn't a lane available. My partner will only bike on grade separated paths. This leads to us mostly walking or taking public transit since we're in an urban area, but both of us would gladly bike if we had a good network of bike lanes to do so.
This would work but run a bit afoul of global instance canonicity.
Interesting results, thanks for sharing. I can perhaps shed some light on the performance differences.

> Buffer	4.259	5.006

In v0.10, buffers are sliced off from big chunks of pre-allocated memory. It makes allocating buffers a little cheaper but because each buffer maintains a back pointer to the backing memory, that memory isn't reclaimed until the last buffer is garbage collected.

Buffers in node.js v0.11 and io.js v1.x instead own their memory. It reduces peak memory (because memory is no longer allocated in big chunks) and removes a whole class of accidental memory leaks.

That said, the fact that it's sometimes slower is definitely something to look into.

> Typed-Array	4.944	11.555

Typed arrays in v0.10 are a homegrown and non-conforming implementation.

Node.js v0.11 and io.js v1.x use V8's native typed arrays, which are indeed slower at this point. I know the V8 people are working on them, it's probably just a matter of time - although more eyeballs certainly won't hurt.

> Regular Array	40.416	7.359

Full credit goes to the V8 team for that one. :-)
> Risk-adjustment" is just another metric which makes not much sense: either I have the money or I do not. Money now is worth more than possible money tomorrow.

If you think risk-adjustment doesn't make sense as an evaluation metric, you should just sell naked puts or calls on a stock which doesn't seem volatile. You're going to generate spectacular returns for a while. Then you're going to blow up.

On the other hand a portfolio with relatively low idiosyncratic risk and low market correlation (beta) might be safely levered up to a higher absolute return than e.g. SPY with less overall risk and volatility.

Like I said...it's complicated.
But how are the system integrators able to get GPUs at listed prices when nobody else is?
It's kind of amazing, the macro view that's going on here.

Computational capacity has become so much of a commodity, that gamers can't get it for their graphics, because they're being crowded out in the market by someone else (cryptocurrency miners) who can use it for something more profitable.
Most states have their own FOIA enacted.
I don't understand what you mean by out of scope.

I basically travel from activity to activity. Right now I'm skiing. As the snow recedes, I intend to take some time learning to paraglide. Then climbing season will begin. Circumstances permitting, I'm hoping to spend time in Scotland and Norway (in particular) over the spring and summer months, perhaps Greece/Corsica/Sardinia/Spain/Italy (unsure) before winter, then likely the Alps somewhere.
I see your point. However, if information transfer is actually infinitely fast then the to physical points become one point in information space and the two generals become one general.
All these locations are fully running under OpenBSD

vs

OpenNX for accessing Windows Remote Desktop or Terminal services (that is needed because companies use internally developed applications running on Windows only)

If they're fully OpenBSD, why do they need Windows Remote Desktop for access to internally developed software? Why are internal devs making Windows software? It doesn't seem to be a typo given the way the comment is structured.

I mean, good on 'em for reducing their OS management overhead, but this just seems weird.

Separate to that, out of curiosity, which brand name laptop supports OpenBSD well enough to supply Fortune 500 companies?

I would love that to happen but I doubt it. Batteries are too expensive and last a relatively small number of charges, so if you leave your battery in the station and they give you another, nobody says that this battery is not worn and it lasts very little
I think a very good example of when OOP is genuinely useful and desirable is the Twisted Networking Engine: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted
Life is too short to do everything but life is more than ample enough to do important things, things that count beyond the mundane routines of daily existence. This life is but a breath or, as my 100-year-old grandmother said shortly before she passed on, everything that she had experienced to that point was "but a blink." When you can get to that stage and say, "no regrets" for a life well-led, you can have peace with your finite capacities and your finite existence in this world. There is much that is beautiful to do in this life. You don't need to do it all. You just need to do it well.

I can't really add to that. Well-said.
> The software environment was very locked for security reasons, no internet and etc.

You mean the development environment you worked in or is this referring to production?

I can't imagine working without internet as a programmer.

> Just felt it was simpler to not use JSX and to deploy with scp ;-)

Tools like babel don't get shipped to production. They are part of the development build tools which gets stripped out. You can run a single build command on your laptop and SCP the result.

> In fact every dependency was manually downloaded and put on a vendored folder of the project. It was added as a dependency by adding a HTML tag.

You can lock the dependency versions so your production code would have the same code.

You can commit node modules along with your code.

You could use zero installs by yarn which compresses node modules to make it easier to push them to version control.

Why manual?
This is all puzzle cryptography, right? Cryptograms, not cryptography? I'm interested in hearing more about how any of this is "practical", though maybe that's not the way the title means it. Elonka Dunin isn't a cryptographer (nb: neither am I), but has long defended a reputation as a "cryptologist" on Wikipedia for her work journaling other people's work on the CIA's "Kryptos" statue --- which is itself puzzle crypto.

Indeed, the most influential slider in the simulation seems to be the “max acceleration” one... if people accelerate quickly up to their max speed it seems to prevent traffic waves from propagating backwards. It meshes well with my observations 213929387 years ago when I used to drive in traffic.
I wonder if the UI will still take 2-3 seconds to respond though.
Agreed in principle, but unless your credit is great, getting a card with enough of a limit to let you do this is almost impossible.
Exporting -- unless I'm missing something, it's only possible to export a CSV for transactions matching a filter. For better or worse, QBO etc formats are the standard for importing a statement to reconcile and there's extra friction each month to import a CSV.

Misleading -- Tea Room (for us) does almost nothing which was advertised:

- Treasury was marketed to be available to everyone who isn't taxed as a sole proprietor. We're a non-profit, and found out after moving all our money that we weren't eligible. I asked support to clarify this, and it looks like they've removed /all/ information about eligibility from the site which is a small improvement I guess.

- There don't seem to be any startup deals for Tea Room members. There isn't anything on the page on the site for Tea Room.

- We haven't gotten any tea. (I don't actually care about that, but come on, it's in the name.)

We moved to Mercury because Treasury would have been immensely useful to us. In all other ways BofA is /fine/ and we would not have moved if it were advertised honestly. I think it's deceptive because none of this was obvious to us before we planned out a migration and wired the $270k over to get access.
Agreed, but they do have jurisdiction on land completely surrounding the Capitol complex. Moreover, these police forces practice and work together.
It was at the locked corridor barrier to the Speakers Lobby which adjoins the House Chamber. Rumors that Pence was there and it was Secret Service haven't been confirmed; he had been in the Senate chamber and Secret Service had evacuated him, so it's unlikely he would end up on the House side in a poorly secured area. News reports indicate it was simply Capitol Police, possibly someone associated with the House Sgt at Arms since they have an office somewhere around there.

I guess the woman, despite being a veteran (Air Force... why is it the Air Force has so many crazy people?), was so caught up in LARPing that she couldn't rationally evaluate that this was the last meaningful barrier to the House chamber and they might have more liberal rules of engagement or someone might panic and overstep their RoE to prevent an unauthorized mob from entering. If she'd climbed through, she could have opened the door to the mob.

On the other hand, I can see the argument that shooting her was an absurd overreaction. There were armed capitol police who had just come up the stairs behind her and that group of protesters, and they were doing nothing. The news reports that the justification for the shooting was that she might have been armed, but if that's really their rationale, it's a bad one. They should have retreated to the main chamber, because they weren't in a good tactical position, trying to defend a barrier with windows large enough for people to climb through. In addition, no such resistance was offered on the Senate side. When you're outnumbered that badly, unless you have special training like the Secret Service would, and plenty of ammo, you're not going to accomplish anything by shooting anyone, unless they are overtly threatening people such that you think you're going to die or be taken captive anyway.

I don't think Capitol Police are legally at fault in any way for her death, but I think they did the wrong thing there.
Yeah, sugru is the way to go: http://blog.higg.im/2015/01/06/sugru-lifehacks/
You still sound very confused about your obligations and your client's obligations. It sounds like you expect to keep all your transactions under the radar and not declare any of them to any tax authority. Don't.
