McDonald's will surely release a press release saying that they hired 50,000 people. How would you prove them wrong?
This is only partially true. Steam has an offline mode (you should activate it at least once), which works fine. I usually play on long train rides, so it is a feature I use rather often. Most of my single-player games work without internet, if not, they usually have third-party protection like securom (pro tip: don't buy them).

If Steam crashes, SteamWork doesn't work (Cloudsync, Matchmaking, etc.), but thats like any other master server crash. Also, SteamWork syncing is true syncing, so you have all your game data on your device and accessible. Its not like Game for Windows Live where you have to be logged in to even access the save games on your computer.

Say anything about Steam, but they are pretty far ahead in the 'user-friendliness' department.
flax has a lot of ALA omega 3's, which are less usable than the EPA/DHA in fish oil
Hard to do. I don't know how McDonald's works per se, but most chain stores employ an almost completely part-time workforce. "Hiring drives" mean that they are trying to get more people on the payroll, but the budgets for the individual stores don't increase. So not much actual hiring occurs, because the incentive system discourages it.
That was really a great video to watch. Equally interesting is the impact that fire ants have on electronics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vVUh-194vU&NR=1
I tried event-driven programming with Rust 4 years ago and came to the same conclusion. It just isn't a good fit for the language. Rust works best when there is a stack and clear ownership semantics. Any kind of callbacks cause a certain amount of pain due to the need for unergonomic wrapper types.

Since then it got better libraries which reduce lots of the verbosity (e.g. gtk-rs), which is great. But the language itself probably won't change too much to better accommodate that use-case, since what things things painful here are the core features that prevent issues elsewhere.

I think we have to accept the fact that for different kinds of problems different programing languages are preferable instead of trying to find a single solution for all problems.

For UIs I think a naturally garbage-collected or refcounted language with reasonable support for dynamic dispatch is a lot easier to work with. In addition to that a restriction towards a single thread or even an inbuilt event loop can avoid bugs, improve interoperability between libraries, and reduce the amount of boilerplate and application-level design decisions even further.

If we take those properties we get the most common languages for GUI apps: Javascript/Dart which have single-threaded runtimes, and C#/Java/Kotlin/Swift as general-purpose languages which are more powerful but require an eventloop on application/library/framework level.

Those properties actually also expand to other very stateful and very concurrent applications. E.g. stateful network servers (something like Redis or a websocket server) have similar implementation challenges, and therefore are currently not very straightforward to write in Rust either (compared to e.g. in node.js).
Agreed. There are many different components to learning the basics of exploring, analyzing, visualizing, and interpreting real data.

Great idea. Next best thing to getting people inside the arena. It really is a great spectator sport. Even passes look like laser beams at ice level.

Some people don't take like to take no for an answer. Some people will continue to engage, despite a woman making it clear that they are not interested; some of those people, however, respect other men enough that they will disengage when they find out a woman is "taken".

And as for the politeness of lying, consider "white lies". Sometimes honesty, even non-brutal honesty, is not the polite option.
Just keep in mind that such a house's protection against easy breaches by police (who, in a no-knock scenario, will be equipped for a breach) also prevents easy breaches by ambulance or fire crews. What if you're only able to call for help but you are incapacitated prior to being able to unlock your fortress?

I was under the impression that fork() basically set up copy-on-write pages for the child process, and thus if it exec()'ed it would lose all those pages anyways and start fresh. Are those VM settings changing that behavior?
GoPro + Oculus Rift? We could see injuries.
How awesome would it be if they could pull off 3D? A 3D view from the goalie would actually make me want to break out those 3D glasses I got with my TV that are still in the plastic wrapping.

This is a great first step however - getting into the market will open the doors for some really cool stuff - and hopefully give fans a better appreciation for the real speed of the game .

It was a sizable part of the big Microsoft anti-trust case. And also an earlier case except for MS-DOS instead of Windows.
So I create database on VPS, than set up Litestream on s3. Than what? Should I also setup the copied database and use it from my production application? It seems like I don't understand the workflow here in a real case scenario. It my be because I didn't work with such setups
IMHO this is the main objective. They even mention in the RFC the case of running Android native code.
Sadly the second floor is a low and angled ceiling. We had installed a ceiling fan with an adapted mount but it wasn't long before one of us hit the fan while removing a shirt.

This sent the fan spinning at a weird angle and it hit the ceiling. This broke the wooden blades and sent them flying in all directions.

So floor fan it is now.
>> the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, in which Ronaldo played for Portugal, was broadcast in more than 200 countries, to an aggregate audience of over 25 billion

Something's wrong with that final number, unless the world population recently quadrupled without my noticing ..
Sneakers did a fairly good job however
So how do you get it to add? Specifically, what representation of arbitrary numbers are we using with our finite automaton? Infinite read-only tape plus infinite write-only tape for output, in base 10? If so, it should be simple to do multiplication by representing the numbers in factorized form and applying our adder.
Yes, something "boring" is the best way to go with something like this. I mean TLS is not called "Civil Liberties' Holy Grail", is it?

I can invest two or three years before I need to be as good or better at building something for the market than I would if I started with something like ROR. And at that point it would be a startup where I can use whatever is fastest.
Pascal, even Wirth's Pascal, was a huge improvement over the other languages commonly used at the time. In Pascal's heyday in the 1970s and early 1980s, most programmers came to Pascal from BASIC or old FORTRAN (FORTRAN II or IV, not 77). Compared to these, Pascal offered: long identifiers (not 1 or 2 characters like BASIC or 6 like old FORTRAN), block structure and structured programming (not line numbers and GOTOs), record data types, pointers, and memory management with new and dispose (instead of statically allocated arrays and COMMON blocks), nested structure and lexical scope (instead of everything defined at top level). All this was a revelation and made whole new programming techniques and styles available.
They say "In-house manufacturing", where exactly is that?
It has all the hallmarks of an MLM or Ponzi scheme. Lots of people hyping it up, hoping to sell on their "asset" to a bigger fool.

You can't restrict ownership of digital goods. Decades of DRM have shown us that.
He can move to any country that doesn't have debt collection agreement with US (assuming he's from US). Like Philippines or New Zealand. Or just make himself judgement-proof. Convert his savings to Bitcoin, quit his job and work cash jobs. Court cannot force him to earn less.
Mind blowing to me how a statement like "I don't want to work half-again as much per week as my contract requires" gets a response like "go find a different industry"

As if I'm the one who is wrong here. Decades of workers rights and unions trying to make work safer and better for people, to work less for the same pay, but I'm the one who is wrong for wanting that.

Why do software devs love to be exploited so much.
Guidance & case studies, yes.

Why bother building your DIY one for $70 when you can get a decent air purifier with touch screen, PM2.5 sensor and wireless control for just $100? You'd be paying why more than what you should if your DIY one also have touch screen control, PM2.5 sensor and wireless control - the PM2.5 sensor itself costs $30.

I have 4 Xiaomi air purifiers at home in Shanghai, during a highly polluted day (pm2.5 > 150), the in door measurement can be maintained <10 just a few minutes after turning on the Xiaomi air purifier. It has a nice LCD touch display and you can control it remotely using your phone. The price is just $100 each with a preinstalled filter, a replaceable filter that can last for 6 months costs you $40 only.

Pravetz was coincidentally the birth place of Todor Zhivkov, the leader of the People's Republic of Bulgaria. If you know how rampant nepotism and corruption was during socialist time (even more than today), you will now that this was no coincidence at all.

Also, here is a nice quote from Zhivkov that he said during the opening ceremony of Bulgaria's first semi conductor factors:

"This year - a factory of semiconductors. Next year - a factory of full conductors."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

> Apophenia /æpɵˈfiːniə/ is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.

The term is attributed to Klaus Conrad[1] by Peter Brugger,[2] who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness", but it has come to represent the human tendency to seek patterns in random information in general, such as with gambling and paranormal phenomena.[3]
Yeah, as the create of GitGutter for ST, my first thought was, cool if I switch to this I can write GitGutter in CoffeeScript. Then I thought, being Github, they would probably bake that in.
No examples on the home page. Nor in the 'code' section. Or in the README on github. You'd think people would learn that most readers on the internet give up looking after 3 seconds.
Except that Apple still owned the ecosystem. Allowing you to connect iTunes on Windows is just like having Kindle on everything - a means to spread your ecosystem and platform. In fact, this is even BETTER for them, because you still had to buy an iPod!

The more you can treat the underlying OS as "dumb pipes", the more valuable/easily spreadable your ecosystem is.
If bitcoin fails because of this incident, won't that be the free market deciding that unregulated financial institutions aren't acceptable?

Boo hoo, its a well recognized product that lends itself to criticism. No need to be dumbfounded by that.
The video is in real-time, and calculating Fibbonacci is probably 4 instructions in the CPU, so you can get an idea of how fast it is.
It's not a nitpick. Yes lawyers state opinions, but they are ethically bound to serve their client's interest, not to use their client as a pawn in an attempt to overhaul the justice system.

I mean, this is good progress, but very little of Berkeley was zoned single family anymore anyway. Basically just up in the hills. Everything near campus was already multi-family, and if it wasn't the city council would approve a zoning change for anyone who asked.

There is no "gall" involved here - it's called experience. When you have lifted weights for the past 15 years and someone tells you they deadlifted 500 lbs the first time they tried it, you have enough experience to know they are lying. Simple as.

As far as your image - I still maintain that if you can "hold it", you can draw it, especially for simple geometric shapes like a star.
I only shop at AH and Delhaize, the choice isn't that great there.
I must have misread OP, because it sounded like they were suggesting Ongwen be sent back to try to rehabilitate other fighters.
I can confirm the same experience too (my company uses both AWS and Google Cloud) where most of the human touch points related to startup credits are with the sales team for Google Cloud instead of an account manager (we still don't have one after about a year now) if you manage to get pass their usual generic responses.
Yes, it’s called a slotting fee.

Funny I've also came up with exactly the same way of doing it around 2008.

It was in France for the Yellow Pages (PagesJaunes) and initially we used soundex but it was too English centric. We ended up using the Double Metaphone [1] which works better for other European languages.

Our database (Oracle) didn't come with any extension to do that so we'd programmatically populate a column at the time the table was loaded, then indexed it.

We also weren't quite searching for family names but for city names and street names, so there was a fair bit of pre-processing applied to identify the list of most likely words to be useful for the match.

Wait: doesn't the third graf of this comment answer your original question upthread? You cashed out 2MM, which came directly out of the hides of investors, who lost most of their investment. How is this a good story? When you take substantial money from an investor, your job is to earn them a return. That's not a moralism; it's definitional.

I "got liquid" 2 years ago. I don't have to worry about whether I served the best interests of my investors, because we didn't take funding. If your instinct is to say "fuck VC", you shouldn't be taking their money either.
If you look at Common Lisp the Language, the book which provided the initial definition of the language, you find the goals listed. One of the goals for the language Common Lisp was 'efficiency' - that's slightly different from 'high performance', but somewhat in that direction.

Thus it was expected that Common Lisp was to be implemented on supercomputers. For example Allegro CL had a port to one of the early Cray systems.

To support the goal of 'efficiency' Common Lisp provides: type declarations, inline declarations, compiler policy settings, compiler macros, a 'file compiler', compile-time macros, compiler macros, a disassembler, a timing macro, low-level type-specific functions, low level control structures like gotos, ...

One thing it lacked was 'TCO', tail call optimization, but that was something many implementations of CL provided.

A few compilers were written to support this goal of efficiency. For example CMUCL (which provided type inference and 'block compilation') and Lucid Common Lisp. Lucid CL had two compilers: one for interactive use and one for application delivery. The latter did much more optimizations and also supported 'block compilation' (the compiler optimizes the code not only inside a file scope, but also on a collection of files).

Other commercial compilers like Allegro CL and LispWorks were improving efficiency over time, based on customer requests. Customers had written applications and they wanted to improve their speed: numeric computations, object and record slot access, garbage collection, ... were examples. Thus not also the compiler, but also the runtime had to be efficient.

Haven't tried it out myself yet but it's nice to see effort put into lowering the memory & CPU usage of such blockers.
I have been using µBlock for 3 weeks now.(previously adblock plus). There is one irritating thing it has that almost makes me go back to adblock again.

It is often blocking the false positives.

So if developer has named one of their assets file with social media names like "twitter/facebook/etc", it blocks the file right away. Since it does not have custom configuration options for each site, you can either disable µBlock or go with the crashed site.

Not all the sites are written professionally by experts, and this becomes an issue when you are trying to purchase stuff from small online shops. (to support local sellers)

I am too busy for a pull request these days, but maybe this will be fixed soon by someone else. My point for µBlock is for now 5/10.
Dragging your feet is a crime if it's reasonable to believe that the purpose of dragging your feet is to facilitate crime. And I think anyone with a brain recognizes that's what was going on.
This is really nice idea.
I applaud their chutzpah. However, my crew would not be wearing swimsuits!

I don't think I could bear to take off my harness, though. Getting clothing off would be a conundrum... either that or a very cold descent.
This sounds like a pretty good strategy for me too. I'm completely ignorant about consulting agencies though - I assume there good ones, bad ones, etc? Can anyone recommend ones in the UK?

"Meta may choose to shutter Facebook, Instagram in EU"

It's not like they're forced to financially. They just know they'll be making less money and have to increase spending. It's still going to be lucrative, just less so. An even better title would be: "Meta threatens to shutter FB, IG in attempt to overturn consumer protection legislation."
The problem isn’t Reacts API. It’s the absurd extreme declarative beginner mindset and code style you will be evaluated against. If you have any real experience without React you have to really lie about who you are.
Good luck. I’d have to consider whether or not a company that used it as an actual hiring criteria was doing me a favor, though.

First, in the US, I’m not exactly sure it would be legal. We have the ADA, which basically states that we shouldn’t use what are considered “disabilities,” as a negative. Not sure what it says for positive.

I’m not sure about the EU, but, from my experience, European nations tend to have even stricter rules than the US.

In my case, my own neurodiversity has been a real asset. It’s made me an excellent programmer, and has certainly been key to my basic success.

I was a manager, for 25 years. That’s fairly unusual for aspies, as “people skills” are not often our strong suit.

Which brings me to the work environment. If the company has a management career path that includes promoting aspies into management, it may be great, as I think that it’s important that managers have empathy for their employees, but it might also be a difficult place to work, as we don’t always make the best managers (I feel as if I was an exception, but there were some “out of band” factors in my personal development, that probably made a huge difference –but that’s a story for another day).

The other possibility, is that the managers are all neurotypical, which makes me wonder about the career path.

In my experience, I started at my last company, on the same exact day, as another engineer, who was almost Central Casting for “aspie coder” (I’m a bit “dorky,” but it’s not as obvious, for me). We worked together for 27 years, until they finally closed down our department. For most of that time, I was his boss.

I have no problem admitting that he’s a far better coder and tactician than I ever was, but I have my doubts that he would have been as good a manager. On the other hand, I was pretty much a perfect manager for him, and he thrived in the department. He is now working for a well-known European megacorp, and I hope that they give him the space he needs to work. He’s an amazing engineer, and it was an honor to work with him.
For me anonymity can be a part of my privacy posture.

When I apartment search, I spend a lot of effort trying to understand how light will hit the windows at night, in the morning, what sort of sound will be around, etc.

In the perfect setting, there is darkness outside at night and lots of natural light in the morning. I had that experience at summer camp, where there were no street lights and everyone had to be quiet by a certain time. The mountain air was refreshing and I would be up with the sunrise naturally.

Living in San Francisco, I now know that this utopia is reserved for vacations. In the city, the biggest problem with opening up the blinds is the street light at night. Or the fog gets in the way or I have to get up before the sun rises or the sun doesn't hit my window perfectly during winter months, etc. I set up all these gadgets for all the times I can't get light in the morning naturally, which seems to be 90+% of my life.

I would be much happier to live like I did as an 18 year old at summer camp. I would also be happier if I did yoga everyday, ate organically, exercised everyday, read more than I watched TV, etc. In the meantime...
Yes. For instance, by accident or oversight.
