What do you code? I have plenty of things to have open in a second monitor and none of them are distractions. If I have a browser open it's because I'm coding a page or I'm looking up documentation on some library I'm using. Otherwise I might have a terminal open to start/stop services or edit a second file. I might be doing SQL queries (or performing Redis commands, etc). I find the 2nd monitor to be a huge boom to productivity.
It's understandable, there are some things the mind simply doesn't want to believe, and an all-zeroes password on a nuclear bomb easily qualifies.

Do you happen to have a link that discusses the bunker doors? I don't think I'd heard of that one.

Yeah, the best suggestion I would have to dropbox would be to charge more sooner. I would absolutely pay for the service, just through referrals, the student thing and extra space offers like this I'm never going to get to the point where I actually need extra space.

I'm sure many people that use dropbox like me to backup code, whole websites and writing/ uni work would feel the same way.
It seems silly, but texting is significantly more discreet than a call, and takes less effort to do.

If you're within earshot of a "bad guy," you can nonchalantly send a text, and it can be done a lot quicker.

The original argument was never about marriages being "less happy". It was about them being less healthy, less caring, less connected. It's quite likely that they're happy enough to not want to divorce without being a stable, healthy family producing a good environment to raise a child.
The TSA must be able to justify the actions of all its agents at any time in court. The only way to do this is to issue detailed policies and insist that all TSA agents follow the policy. The agents are not free to do as they want.
He started out prepared for that - he had nowhere to be and time to kill, and felt strongly about the issue.
Presumably because people aren’t buying chips based on the node size used and they would get bad press from calling it 2nm. My guess is it simply relates to the node refreshes in the old pattern of old node / ~1.414 = new node size. With different companies picking different arbitrarily differences in nodes aka intel’s 14nm++ was better than it’s initial 10nm process.

That said you can read some interesting details here: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process

Certainly not true in the US. Medical professionals often work double shifts and put in lots of hours. Being on call or working weekends is mandatory in many cases. Beyond that, the work environment is much more stressful, especially now. The patients' lives are in your hands, and on top of that you have to deal with being assaulted (yelled at, spit on, hit, etc) or making a mistake and being sued.

Having worked as a software engineer/developer, I can at that sometimes the work can be challenging but overall the job itself has been pretty easy and low-stress in comparison.

During the first half of my career, I put in a lot of extra hours but then I realized it wasn't going to help me get a raise or get promoted so I stopped doing that and stuck mostly to the 40 hour work week which I was being paid for.
Because you still usually need a mobile device the modern cashless till today is an iPad with an NFC dongle to take payments now you can skip the dongle..

Secreting insulin is the mechanism that keeps blood sugar down, which is only half the job of homeostasis. The other half is keeping blood sugar up when you haven't eaten a bunch of carbs recently, and it seems (anecdotally) that if people don't exercise that second half -- i.e., if they keep their blood sugar up by eating constantly -- that their body's ability to keep blood sugar up on its own atrophies.

When your body's blood sugar regulation is working properly, you can skip one or two meals without any dire consequences(+). You have a bunch of glycogen in your muscles and liver, for one thing, and your body just has to release that energy into your bloodstream as glucose. It's really that simple, but the impression I get from a lot of people is that their blood sugar regulation is only half-working. They take it for granted that if they miss lunch, they're going to be a wreck in the afternoon. They become tired and irritable, and they may even have headaches. That shouldn't be considered normal. A sugar crash isn't a normal reaction to a brief interruption of a healthy diet; it's a warning sign that your diet before the crash was not healthy.

(+) I won't swear this holds true if you exercise intensely, since I haven't tried it, but the paleo lifestyle guys say they have no problem exercising on their "lean" days.
Yeah, it gets a lot of flack, but I don't think it's so terrible. It provides a safe harbor for hosting providers (very good); it provides a simple way for rights holders to stop infringement (good); and it provides a simple way to dispute a takedown notice (good). The only bad part is that it's subject to frivolous takedowns, but this is mitigated by my third point and the fact that it's a crime to submit a false takedown notice.

All IO is inherently impure, right? At best you're going to be composing funtions out of smaller functions that implement your graphics desires.

How can you get around having e.g. a circle(radius, x-pos, y-pos, line-color, fill-color) function that draws per your specifications? There's no reason you couldn't implement that circle function using turtle...
There isn't anything wrong with asking people to use it themselves, but then it also isn't quite the "online tip jar" that many people want to see it as.

Maybe that's the point, but I honestly have been confused as to why the process with Flattr is so complicated. What I want is a "great blog post, kid, here's a quarter" button. Flattr feels like it's mostly there except I have to keep track of who I've Flattr'd each month to make sure I'm handing out the amounts I wanted to. It could be that in the end this is "the better way", but for the need I feel this mechanism is kind of off-putting.
This is basically a disguised VNC display. I test drove this app(or its clone) last year and it was noticeably laggy. Maybe things have changed since then...
Sorry, I meant a decrease from 1909-1919 to the present. I was definitely unclear, sorry about that. You are right, total carb consumption did increase since 1980.

But if carbs were the issue, shouldn't we have been fat in 1909-1919, thin in the 80's, and fat again?
If IQ is such a poor measure of general intelligence, it should be simple to establish a better method.

IQ is imperfect, but it is the best we have. IQ strongly correlates with performance on almost every other test of mental ability. There is no evidence to support the 'multiple intelligences' hypothesis. All of Gardner's 'intelligences' correlate across a population.

If IQ is a poor measure, devise a better test; All else is ideology, not science.
This I guess varies from person to person. A lot of people don't stay for dinner because they come in early (and get breakfast), they have families or whatever.

In my case, I like to take little breaks when I need to so don't tend to work in 2 solid 4 hour blocks so I'll be in the office quite awhile. Plus if I'm just going to go home and catch up on a couple of shows on Hulu, I may as well do that in the office. It's nicer than my apartment. :) I do live in walking distance to the office too.

But I guess my main point is that I'm not clock-watching. I leave when I have something else to do and/or feel like I've done what I need to do. I like what I do. I'm not waiting for the clock to hit 5 so I can leave. YMMV.

Honestly this is another huge positive for me. I once worked at a place where I worked from 7 to 4 with half an hour for lunch (due to market times and a time difference). The rest of the team turned up at 9-9:30 and all they noticed was I left at 4 and I was called up on it. The net result was I turned up at 9, left at 5-5:30 and took an hour for lunch (resigning a month or two later).

Google, at least in my limited experience (I've only been here ~6 months), is much more results-oriented. We trust you to do what you need to do. I know some guys that routinely turn up at 1pm or later or skip a weekday and work on Saturday instead. I've seen no issues of "face time".

I know I work longer than a 40 hour week, sometimes substantially longer. But I don't mind. I have no other pressing responsibilities pulling me away. For those that do, it doesn't seem to be an issue.

But in the absence of responsibilities pulling you elsewhere (which are perfectly understandable) if you're watching the clock, IMHO you're probably in the wrong profession.
If you know that's on the cards when hiring, then I'm sure it's a filter you might not use otherwise, i.e. can I handle having this person at the lunch table every day.
As human beings we do need some kind of activity that provides fulfillment. Most people spend a large part of their lives at the workspace and the only skills they excel at, which are fulfilling are work related. So it’s not too surprising that they would want more of that.
The whole problem is that private schools only take the best students, which makes them more efficient on paper but in reality they just shifted the problem around.
Do not give them ideas, on the contrary, give'em more rope. And when the time comes and they come with the idea themselves present yourself as the unique person that can do the migration to Excel, since meanwhile the codebase would be in millions of lines of code and you're the only one left to understand it. And that's your moment to ask for the big bucks as a contractor.

Always remember the golden rule of life: stupidity and intelligence must be paid (their stupidity and hopefully your intelligence).
Perhaps I should have been more clear, I am a PhD dropout in Mech Eng with lots of CS and finance/econ exposure as I dropped out to join a bank. I want to do something cross disciplinary and vague ideas of systems science especially since I read Saltzer Kaashoek(sorry for butchering the spellings) Principles of Computer System design and sort of using a systems design approach to manufacturing processes and such. Like a lot of ideas of CS are from Engineering Management like JIT etc and how the design of networks is an evolution of earlier metaphors of telegraph and telephone systems.

To keep it short, how do I even find what I want to look for? Any tactics that you would want to suggest?
The biggest challenge with teaching functional programming is that people tend to take the word function or the concept way to seriously. They start mandating restrictions on input/output, what functions should be used for, and all kinds of other unnecessary nonsense. It’s like they need some sort of self imposed guardrails to qualify making better or more common use of functions. Like they need an official invitation before joining the party.

Perhaps some of that stupidity is bound to a developer’s understanding of their language at hand. Some languages are more expensive than others. This is where the sad confused developer mandates that functional programming must be declarative... until you point out the languages Red and Rebol are functional imperative languages. It’s not some shallow wishful opinion. That is how those languages describe themselves and it’s what they look like.

When you take all the stupidity, assumptions, and restrictions away functions are most universally a bag of instructions, as are classes and various other things. Functions are unique from other instruction bags in that they execute. That creates potential for instruction reuse and thus portability.

Different languages impose different restrictions on where or how functions may present. In JavaScript functions are first class citizens which means they can be used anywhere a primitive may be used, which is almost everywhere. Functions can also be nested in that language which just means subdivided layers of portability/reuse. In this case, in a highly imperative way, functional programming can mean programming with a mindset of functions first, as opposed to other means of structure or extension. Again that interpretation of functional programming tends to make people uncomfortable as there are no restrictive guardrails or super specific defining rules.
>and he certainly isn't attracting them with his charisma or interviewing skills.

Your criticism is an example of taking your personal opinion that he has no charisma or interviewing skills and then incorrectly projecting it on to guests that don't share your opinion.

Think about how the guests must voluntarily agree to be interviewed by Lex. Some might go through these steps:

1) get inquiry email from Lex : "Hi, I have a podcast and I'd love to interview you. [... blah blah blah ...] For reference, here are some links to interviews with previous guests [...]"

2) hmmm... who is this Lex guy?!? Let me look at his previous interviews...

3) Ok, he's non-threatening, engaging, and intellectual with his questions. I can sit down and chat with him for few hours.

People oversell the "connections" angle. Yes, he has some connections (Drexel, MIT, ex-contractor at Google, etc) but that just means some warm introductions and a potential guest will politely reply to an email inquiry. Guests can still decline the podcast. Connections don't guarantee the guest will actually agree to talk for 2 hours on camera.

E.g. Chris Lattner has been interviewed by Lex 2 times. Unless he's lying, his comment doesn't seem like he shares your opinion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24831157

EDIT to reply: "just by cold emailing."

I didn't say he was only sending out cold emails. (I mentioned "warm introductions.")

In any case, the main point of my comment is that you are (inadvertently?) insulting some of his guests. In other words, have you considered the possibility that many of his guests enjoy Lex's interviewing style?
If you doubled the hourly wage of the workers in Asia or Africa, the price of a 20 Euro T-shirt sold in Europe would increase by.... 20 cents (incl. VAT).

Companies do this because they are not hold liable for the environmental damage done locally and by the transport, not even mentioning the low safety standards etc.
Companies will pay as little as they can, employees will charge as much as they can. Everything else is an excuse or window dressing. What someone is paid is not connected to what they are worth or their value. Nor is it "fair" because fair isn't a real thing. Your company is not your family. Unless you own a significant share, it's purely your adversary.

I wish people would just honestly admit this. Pretending otherwise almost always leads to workers misunderstanding what is happening and getting underpaid.

I increasingly enjoyed my education because I got increasingly more choice. During school, I was so happy once I got to remove Latin from my curriculum. Later the poetry analysis stuff disappeared. At university it got reduced to a broad field like computer science but it still contains a lot of stuff I never used afterwards. In the second half, I could mostly focus on topics which really interested me. During the PhD it was nearly complete freedom.

What I did like about school was all the extra-curriculum stuff. I learned to act on stage and in a movie, produced a comic, and more. That happen inside the school building, so it was "school" and it didn't suck.
Finland didn’t do the same thing at all, they modeled their system based of the Swedish one back when it was state driven and science based.
It seems like you have been misinformed or just made a faulty assumption.

FOX is now regarded as a traitorous part of the MSM by Trump supporters because they didn’t push that narrative.

Newsmax is the channel that has been pushing it as if it is true.

FOX has been reporting that there is no evidence that the election was stolen.
I’m not worried, I’m expressing how ridiculously afraid people are to take a side because hey, it’s kind of a polarizing and controversial topic. Tell us what you think!

In some ways, it’s self-censorship so one doesn’t get downvotes.

They have to report their tips for tax purposes. If the reported wages don't add up to minimum, then the restaurant can get in trouble from a whole host of government agencies. Even if the employee does nothing, the IRS will come calling assuming that tips are being under-reported.

I went to UPenn and they had an enormous private police force. It may sound dystopian but it was actually awesome. Penn Police were nice, well-trained, and always looking out for the students. They did what it took to keep everyone safe in an area of Philadelphia that is not traditionally desirable.

It's also amazing to see Penn Police go from friend mode to cop mode. There were a few armed robberies on campus (non-student criminals) and the Police went from "nice guy in yellow waving on the corner" to "guns drawn behind the squad car" in seconds. They definitely saved lives every year.
Academics use it for surveys quite a bit.
They aren't value types in JavaScript or Python, they're reference types (as are all types in those languages). Mutable value types are different from both mutable reference types (Python list, JS Array, strings in both languages, etc) and immutable reference types (Python and JS strings, Python tuples…)
Whitelisting public domain works doesn't seem like such a good idea...
You do not even have to assume it - here's a quote that sums up the drift of the entire article: "It is time for national regulatory agencies to guard against unproven applications, especially those targeting children and other vulnerable populations."

The article also makes the claim that some of these technologies are based on simplistic and largely disproved psychological assumptions, but again, its opposition is to their use rather than mere existence.
It’s definitely not gone but I feel like it’s shifted to a defensive posture & not getting many new adherents. Part of that is probably better hardware & languages making the performance and developer productivity arguments less persuasive.
We have a similar bird in America called a chickadee in the same family, but we also have another bird in the same family called “titmouse” so I really doubt it was due to prudishness.

I sympathize with your somewhat jaded view of blue chip galleries, but for those of us who don’t much care about the latest fad, collecting art is still amazing and fun and utterly rewarding. Instagram is a revolutionary tool for artist discovery. There is really good work available at almost any price point. We live in a golden age of artistic creativity, worldwide, and while the big-money end of it can be depressing all the rest of it is just mind-bendingly awesome!

It seems like you could do something like:

#define S(name) s::_##name;

Then use S(test) instead of @test and any files that need these symbols defined could just have IOD_SYM(test) at the top or something.
