Because they are a type of derivatives. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_%28finance%29 for more on that. (Also my explanation at http://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-are-financial-deri... has some interesting points.)
Vimoutliner does the same - letting me use a real text editor. With dropbox or sshfs synching is a no-brainer, too.
There are a lot fewer factors in shipping a new firefox for OS X than there are for Linux. On OS X, for the most part, all of the important dynamic libraries are frozen at a single or at one of a small number of versions, everybody is either ia32 or amd64, there aren't distro patches applied to things, there isn't the wide array of Desktop Environment configurations that there is in other Unixes, etc, etc. This isn't to say that rolling releases aren't possible; it's just trickier for Linux distros.

Also, you have to update the glibc sometime.
Like extending free speech laws to these corporations. So banks, domain registrars, payment processors, cloud services, DDOS protection services etc. can't just terminate the contract for simply disagreeing with speech that is protected under the First Amendment.
Okay, that's how Apple sees the platform, and it's their right. It's also my right to point out how ridiculous their policy is, to complain to them about it, and to try to convince others to do the same.

If their goal is to be family-friendly, and they try to stay consistent with that goal with apps that can download external content by putting up a scare wall and adding parental controls, then it makes no sense at all to censor content hosted on their own servers when they can (and do) pass it through the exact same scare wall and parental controls.

The usual way is to define variance as the expectation of the number times its complex conjugate -- it's complex magnitude. In particular, the variance is real.

In the pseudo code, the key lines are the two after the "else" in "Push". The recurrence for the mean (first line of the two) would be unchanged.

The second line, the update for m_newS, would need a conjugate on either the first or the second parenthesized expression (in the product). Since eventually the returned variance is proportional to Sk, Sk must be real. Being real, Sk must equal its transpose. So, it must not matter which parenthesized expression you conjugate. And, you should be able to just store Sk as a real number.

To verify that it does not matter which side you put the conjugate on, just expand the defining expression for Sk (given in the article). By plugging the expression for M(k) into that for S(k), you will see the additive correction to S(k) comes out in terms of:

delta = x(k) - M(k-1)

In fact, it comes out in terms of delta times its conjugate, no matter which place you put the conjugate. (This also checks that Sk is indeed real when computed this way.) Doing this algebra is good because it allows you to simplify the complex arithmetic considerably.
I worked with one of these prototype boxes. I was using it for something a bit outside their common use case: clustered ETL processing of log data. I was quite happy with the performance. In the workloads I had that needed lots of threads, I was able to use the box to spin up a lot of nodes and crunch through several hundred GB of log data very quickly. The machines were easy to work with since they felt like normal Linux nodes, and the interconnect fabric made inter-process communication very snappy.

For those wanting to learn more about nuclear power, from uranium mining to how power plants work and how they are operated (the logistics of them), I recommend:

Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy by Gwyneth Cravens.

She spent almost a decade doing the research for this book with lots of help from a physicist who works on nuclear safety at a US lab (forgot which one). She used to be an anti-nuclear activist, but gradually changed her mind during the process of writing this book.

The documentation on the part of PyCharm: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/terminal-emulator.htm...

One of the neat things with JetBrains IDEs is the 'help' menu. More than once I've done a "go to that menu and just start typing what I'm looking for"

Typing 'terminal' in that menu and then selecting the spot where it can be accessed from brings up the appropriate menu - https://i.imgur.com/Z3u4grB.png

Also, for me (there may be some other settings that I've got from other installs), at the bottom bar, left hand side the defaults are: "TODO", "Problems", "Terminal", and "Python Console". Selecting "Terminal" will launch a default shell. The "Python Console" brings up an interactive mode REPL.

And yes, there is a lot of tooling in JetBrains IDEs that are... in days of old it would be "here's a 300 page manual that no one reads." The Help Menu is incredibly useful for finding things - even experienced users. https://i.imgur.com/4duykxh.png - the IDE Features Trainer and Productivity Guide are really useful for discovery.

When corporations push diversity as a terminal value it's almost always to suppress labor costs. It's very easy to win arguments if you just assume everyone who disagrees with you is a racist.
I once saw an app that had a text column as date, then 3 other columns for day month and year so they could sort by date.
I think that Technically it's possible, If for some reason Yahoo Answers had illegal content that was never reported and moderated away. I think thats pretty unlikely, though; I'd expect yahoo to be pretty on top of moderation if only due to liability reasons

Alternatively, the collection code could do something weird or suspicious, but it's open source and the team has a good reputation/enough social proof leading me to consider that unlikely
China is probably trying to wear down the US Navy and the Taiwanese Air Force by provoking those organizations into a higher pace of operations.
Yes, it looks very quirky but it still retains it's mysterious air. I remember seeing a photo that I didn't understood until I read the caption. The photo was from the 70s Japan and there were several women, factory workers, in an line orderly rubbing their eyes. The caption was something like "workers take a break to rest their eyes" and then I notice that at each end of each assembly line there was a person (woman) soldering very small circuits with the help of microscopes. That was very heroic Japanese, a lot of those early computers had a lot of manual work applied to them and a lot of minutia work was done by very dexterous women.

>I love how you're using a hypothetical scenario in which Gruber would very plausibly praise the implementation in question in order to undermine his credibility.

Most who reads DF would come to a common prediction about how Gruber would have responded to that hypothetical. It doesn't undermine his credibility, but simply puts into context that he is, failing to have a better word, a fanboy.
I'm very curious how well the online disk changes work with something like the QNAP NAS. Is it really as simple as changing out the disks one at a time and waiting for the RAID to rebuild?
HTTPS is HTTP over TLS (formerly SSL). TLS is stateful, so it probably won't scale as well as regular HTTP. Also, I think it will render HTTP caches useless.
I've done some quick rescaling examples. Rescaled are to the right on the iOS ones, above for the OSx ones.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8020/iosicons.png

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6851/osxicons.png

The iOS ones aren't the best example - it's not a complex icon - but you can still see the hand crafted ones are better, e.g. some of the lines on the rescaled items are not the desired 1 or 2 px widths and so look blurry (e.g. the ipad icon); you don't have the texture; and you lose the corner line definition (e.g. see ipad settings).

The OSx ones are better examples as it's more complex. The scaled icons look rubbish.

We're not there yet. You still need to tweak icons so they look good at various sizes - subtle things like 1px lines or highlights still need to manual tweaking. Pixels too small to see doesn't make the problem go away, you still want to optimise for resolution so you match the pixel grid for sharp definition. Some people don't have that attention to detail (and those devs can just rescale them) but many do - and personally I think it's worth it. And I appreciate having the opportunity to hand craft rather than have the OS just scale it for me.
Politically, in the US at least, we're still very much under the sway of the 80s. The rightward shift is ongoing, and it seems to me that most of our modern mainstream political spectrum would fit pretty well under the tent of the 80s and early 90s right.

S&L and the housing crash could be seen as defining the pattern that the boom/bust cycle has followed since then.
Paying with Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency requires the customer to pay the transaction fees.

Regardless of what you think about credit card companies, which payment method do you think the average consumer would choose?

1) Pay by credit card, get 2% cash back, reserve option to reverse charges if vendor fails to deliver, don't lose all of your money if you lose your credit card.

2) Pay by Bitcoin, pay $8 transaction fee, wait 10-30 minutes for transaction to be confirmed, resubmit if transaction fee was too low, no recourse if vendor runs away with your money, lose all of your money if you forget your password.

Realistically, any crypto-as-payment service will either charge the merchants large fees (to cover risk, volatility, exchange, transaction costs) and/or collect profit on the exchange rate.

There's no free lunch, but the lunch is definitely not cheaper on the Bitcoin side for average transactions.
This is one I really like

I use D as a complement to R. If I'm doing a simulation, it's really simple to shift to doing them in parallel. (I know other languages also provide such support, but I'm a fan of the overall D language as a replacement for C in the statistical computing realm.)

I don't think we're in disagreement.

The game is rigged against you. You do have a lot less information. My point is more like, don't just give up and instead try to understand and learn the game, try to improve your chances. I see so many people (friends, acquaintances, coworkers) making poor decisions with these things simply because they don't learn about them, and that makes me sad. So many smart people who are able to build all these complex systems, but can't be bothered to learn about how stock options work.

Employment game is rigged from the beginning against employees. Recruiters do this stuff every day, they're way better negotiators than you. They talk to each other, they know all the tricks. They know what other companies pay in similar circumstances. Finding a good job is tough and can be pretty depressing honestly, but the worst thing you can do is give up.

Learn the system, find weaknesses. Find those gems where you do get an edge. Maybe try to get a job at a small startup where you will be that #1-10 employee. Maybe the founders will be just as inexperienced as you and so you'll be able to get all this information and get a better equity deal.

RE Cap table, you're right that no company will straight up tell you exact names and numbers. And that's fine. But you absolutely have to get at least a few of them:

* how many shares are outstanding

* what's the current fair market value for the shares

If they don't tell you these two things, you can't evaluate the equity offer. If they are more open, try to get some info about founding rounds & liquidation preferences. The smaller the company is the more willing they should be to share this information with you.
They probably mean that USD is up 250% against their currency.
The current trend goes to multi-cluster environments, because it's way too easy to destroy a single k8s cluster due to bugs, updates or human mistake. Just like it's not an very unlikely event to kill a single host in the network e.g. due to updates/maintenance.

For instance, we had several outages when upgrading the kubernetes version in our clusters. If you have many small cluster it's much easier and more save to apply cluster wide updates, one cluster at a time.
Absolutely true. I'm not advocating for crypto to replace credit card transactions, as that would be insanely impractical and wasteful. I wanted to draw some attention to how badly merchants are treated when they accept card payments.
Originally I had linkedin in 2009 to keep track of my contacts (as that was what they were for at the time, afaicr).

Unfortunately I can't easily export contacts anymore, so I'm kind of stuck. The number of dark patterns linkedin uses is ... rather large. And every few months I come back, it seems like there's some new option to share my Personal data. Defaulted to "on" of course.

I keep meaning to hand-copy all the contact information I still need and delete my account, but it's a lot of work so I keep putting it off.
Ah, that explains things

Are you living in the Bay area now? If you're not, and you're living in a city with any sort of active startup community at all (like any big city in the midwest, for example), try finding a startup at home.

People want cross-platform Exchanged-hosted Outlook calendars. They want the ability to see other people's calendars, invite them to meetings and accept/reject invites via email. This is especially important to places like NASA that have engineers on Linux desktops. I've been at a place that was going to go so far as to installing VMware with a Windows VM just so everyone could have access to Outlook for calendars.

I've also found that people really, really hate web based calendars. It's amazing how picky people are when it comes to the views of their schedule and most web-based solutions do not address these needs very well.
I was JUST thinking about how there should be something like this last night after picking up a six pack. Big picture ideas I thought of (without really thinking through everything:

- Would be cool to track check-ins on beer via photos of labels. Recognize label to check in. As someone else said below maybe a barcode would be better.

- Partner with bars to give out coasters that include QR codes which match up to the beer served to handle draft beers.

- Start offering notifications for recommended beers in your area. If Beerby notices that a user really likes Dogfishhead IPAs, maybe they get a push notice when x bar has 90 minute on tap.

You forgot the fact that MapQuest too is an AOL product.
No one mentioned Lastpass?

It has a multifactor grid authentication, which along with a user defined password, makes it secure enough for me.

When I started using it, I changed most of my passwords to be 100 characters long. But many sites had a maximum 20 characters or equivalent rule.

Why is techcrunch surprised they sold this early? It doesn't get better than this, lots of early adopters of course but after that it will become moot (sure it's great if about.me/mike is your URL but for the next 10 million mikes it sucks). They will be irrelevant before they are relevant.

I've used live migration with KVM within OpenStack and it is really damn awesome to be able to migrate all VM's from a host that needs to be downed for maintenance without causing any downtime.

More simply, they might get away with it because, by and large, they're not actually laundering illegal funds, but merely using the exact same tricks to obscure all sorts of socially disreputable but not actually illegal stuff. Of course, there's a real gray area since arguably a lot of disreputable stuff should also be illegal. But by the same token, some people might genuinely want more privacy depending on their circumstances.

That is great -- I had to cover the snake on "High Performance Python" when I would read it out loud for my 5 y.o. as he fell asleep.
> This feature is fundamentally unethical

Consider an implementation of "draft" submissions. Imagine you wanted to implement such a feature on top of some form builder. You would require such a feature.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the points raised on ethics here, but there's a very real consideration when you're offering a library/package/feature, sometimes you have to expose guts that can be used improperly in order to enable certain featuresets. I think it's obvious why someone building such a tool as OP would offer such a feature as is in discussion, because they would lose money otherwise from implementations that require this feature.

So, if a subset of things that can be done with your work are nefarious, how much effort are you meant to put in to make it ethical to sell your work? Is it inherently always unethical to build a tool which can be used to nefarious ends?
You won't find it.

Code grows, decisions get made, and practices are adopted.

I am working on my fourth iteration of what turns out to be my largest undertaking.

Step
1. Idea
2. Hack something
3. Commit, comment.
4. Hit a wall
5. Rewrite, commit, repeat.
6. Grow until new problems are discovered
7. Modules, tests, etc to avoid future problems.
8. New problems caused by complexity.
9. Go to 5.

I can't say anything about the other languages, but as far as Go is concerned, I suspect it's to achieve better load balancing. See Dmitri's explanation here:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/CZVymHx3LNM/esYk...

(Dmitri is one of the main people currently responsible for the further development of the Go scheduler). If you only have 8 goroutines running at a time with 8 cores, and one stalls, that wastes CPU usage. If you have, say, 80, the scheduler will put another one to work so the CPU is idle less often.
I don’t understand the security chip.

So it expects a series of numbers. If you record those numbers, you are violating Nintendos copyright. But asking for them from the copyright office to use in court and then productionize them is okay?
> "Privilege" has more to do with the colour of your skin, than your ethnic background.

And what's the upside to having white skin but not having the generational wealth that supposedly comes from colonialism? There's many "white" countries that never colonised anyone, are still poor and certainly don't benefit from their "whiteness" today...

You're seeing it through both a Mexican and American lens. White Mexicans look down on indigenous Mexicans and there's definitely racism in the US, but how should someone from Czech Republic, Ukraine or Finland feel about their "privilege" today?

Edit - it's also been pointed out but should be again that the word 'slave' comes from the word for Slavs who unfortunately were frequently enslaved...

Why does DDG de-list things in the first place; isn't it in the interest of search engines to be as useful as possible to users, and thus maximise the results provided?

Also curious to know the extent to which Google de-lists things?

Long term, perhaps a decentralised search engine could get around de-listing and provide a more reliable and rigorous search experience.
Year-round schooling has proven this point time and time again. Students in summers-off schedules spend months catching back up to where they left off.
This is what I was going by: "Apple News editors select the most important, compelling articles and surface them in Top Stories, Spotlight, and other collections. These must-reads include everything from the latest headlines to in-depth coverage of the biggest stories of the year. An Apple News+ subscription unlocks even more premium articles and issues from the world’s best newspapers and magazines."

It makes it sound as if Apple News+ has more but not necessarily everything. In any case, I should probably give it a try.
> and has done more for climate change than literally anyone

What a sensationalist claim! What is the carbon offset of one rocket launch? If Elon stopped focusing on Mars, and instead bought every coal plant to then shutter and replace them (could be done for under 40b), then maybe. Until then, the few percentage of market share for EVs does not justify this claim. You also have to assume that every purchaser of a Tesla would have bought a gas car instead, which is seemingly not a safe assumption. So, citation needed!
Maybe if elon purchased a train system and made public transit exceptional and widely used could a person start to make this claim.
I thunk the sad reality is that elon is bored and us focused in sci fi that is more possible 500 to 100p years in the future (ie mars), at the expense of actually solving present day problems.
Any regulation reducing coal emissions has an out-sized impact compared to a few percentage of emissions from non-commercial transport, the claim "more than anyone else" seems hyperbolic and just flat out wrong
