Very useful tools! Personally, I'm a complete newbie in the email marketing world, but I reall want to learn to benefit from it! I've been currently working on my business email design using https://www.templatemonster.com/newsletter-email-templates.p... . Hope, I'll cope!
Email addresses aren't in there. When I look at my own info, I see a @proxymail.facebook.com email address, which is presumably what an app would use to email me. It's not what you'd want for exporting contact info.
This looks very handy - hadn't heard of it before. Apparently it can also be used as an OpenID.

Do you know of a list of services that actually make use of these domains?
Married couples are allowed to file separately if they wish.
Or just allowing a 'view all comments' option that could be easily Ctrl-Fd.
A quick Google doesn't turn up any pages stating that parsing Perl and CL is undecidable. Can you provide a reference?
It's a bit of an alarmist, though accurate, alert: anything which has access to your tabs (ie, anything which can observe / inject into a page) also has access to your "history" as it can see what you're browsing. I'm sure other permissions also trip this, but "tabs" is one of the most common, and I ran across it recently too: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tabs.html

edit: I'd assume "history" also trips the history alert: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/history.html

edit again: the extension has "tabs" permission only. Very little to worry about, unless you're paranoid about your browsing history.
"A comparative usability study on a language is very simple to perform: you basically print out some code samples, let people with no experience in the language (but general programming experience) read them for a set time period, and then evaluate their comprehension."

That's just stupid. If the programmer doesn't understand English and the program is written with English identifiers, does that fail the test? What about APL and Perl?

"Because the people who "get" Lisp are almost always theoreticians who know what they want to code before they code it."

And you seem to be a theoretician who has never had to maintain any Lisp code.
The author starts out with a plot of lost fumbles, and further down shows a plot that includes all fumbles, not just lost fumbles.
For those of you who aren't keeping up with the up to the minute minutae of the New England Patriots (American football team) scandal (presumably because you have lives), head coach Bill Belichick gave a press conference a few hours ago where he provided a hypothesis of what might have happened: as many people know, quarterbacks like their game footballs prepared in specific (sometimes elaborate [0]) ways prior to use in games. Belichick says that the team went over the process they use for games a few days ago and they determine that the preparation process they use for their footballs (which he claims they do right up to the point they are given to officials for pre-game testing) increases the air pressure in the balls by about 1 psi [1]. Therefore, the balls appear legal when tested by officials, but after a few hours of sitting around, the pressure reduces to below the legal limit. He doesn't specify the process used by the team, but presumably it's some kind of rubbing that heats the ball up, and when it cools down the interior air pressure is reduced accordingly.

I'm sure someone will test this out and verify or discredit the claim.

It's an interesting and complicated question. If you look at the graph, the derivative of the incarceration rate actually peaks around 1990, which is still pre-three-strikes. And in retrospect, three-strikes laws wouldn't have increased the incarceration rate very much because someone convicted of three felonies is presumably someone who would have a high frequency of imprisonment anyway, and rounding that frequency to 1 wouldn't have as great an effect. (If you're in and out of prison frequently enough, enough that you're in prison 80% of the time, sentencing you to life only increases the prison population by 0.2 of a person by aggregate.)

Although, come to think of it, that might be the answer--a lot of the criminals we first imprisoned in the 70's ended up being recidivists, and cracking down on recidivism in the 90's through longer sentences and three strikes laws decreased crime when the recidivists ended up staying in prison, rather than leaving prison to commit more crimes every few years.

The sad part is, this might even apply to people who were unjustly imprisoned for drugs. Someone in prison on drug charges is going to be more likely to get involved in gangs while in prison, and hence become a more dangerous criminal when let out.
A "centrally-controlled, government-sanctioned/mandated fork of the protocol" would steal few users from the BitCoin economy, because the kind of people that would move to the new system were probably using fiat currencies to begin with.

Men-with-guns haven't brought down p2p file sharing yet.
As of right now the articles are just sorted in reverse chronological order by tweet time. We definitely want to make the sorting more personalized and relevant, so we're 100% open to ideas on how to do that. Have any good ones? :)
Just FYI, a slight typo in the title: Etsy
Right, so "...is not accessible to employees" is very misleading and arguably incorrect.
Great idea - a simulation would be the best way of understanding the service without any privacy concerns on the user's part.
I recommend a look at "circular polarization" for anyone that thought they understood polarization as the direction the light vibrates.

Take two pair of Real-3d glasses from the movie theater and try the different orientations (including front-front, front-back permutations). The vertical/horizontal model will not explain your observations. Hence, I know about circular polarization and had a confusing pre-movie experience at Iron Man 2.
Do you need to have been incorporated to get the discount?
If you want to see authoritarianism, you don't have far to look. Various western agencies have already 'secured' the populations in most western countries, and in some (USA), the 'ruling' class is very narrow, representing a single set of interests.

In the USA's particular case, you have 2 parties which, despite the claimed differences, wind up representing the exact same interests. Obama, far from being a reversal of Bush's policies, continued and expanded all of them.

And no matter who comes into power, will likely expand on every repressive law and strategy that's in effect right now.
My thoughts exactly. Hopefully it's true.
I can't imagine that they just failed to observer the demand for smaller form factors. For one they surely have pretty accurate data on what most customers really want and they are still selling the 5S.

If they see that demand for the 5S is higher than expected or that too many customers are unhappy with the larger devices they will accept this reality and release an updated iPhone 6S that is smaller.
It creates additional demand because the house not only provides shelter, but also takes on the form of an investment. How many people do you know who talk themselves into buying a house because of the potential pay off when prices rise?
Colbert might have been joking, but I've seen clothing tags advertise "Interior pocket fits iPad Mini."
But that's exactly it -- I want my phone to be a phone and use phone-appropriate apps, like Evernote or Spotify or Shazam or Hipchat or Yelp or Moves or FitnessFast or the camera app or the weather app and so on...

And be a web browser of last resort, when I need to look something up quick while on the street. I've got, you know, a laptop at work and a laptop at home that work a lot better for web browsing.
But this isn't shown by the article. Cycling dropped, but there is no indication that this was caused by helmet laws. A much more detailed study would be required to determine the cause of reduced cycling.
If you read the original article in full, it covers this type of situation quite well. This is true: both employees and managers believe the blame and the heroics go to individuals, and this is a fundamental attribution error.

The vicious cycle caused by this attribution error drives companies into holes as they continue to reward and punish the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

In reality, most problems in work are systemic, and the only solutions are systemic as well. You want to create an environment where both 'business types' and employees alike are on the same wavelength about this fact, and work to improve the system they're in continuously. This is how you achieve quality, period.
More like, the auto-lobby pushes motor vehicle infrastructure at the expense of cycling infrastructure.

Would you rather cycle helmet-less on the road or helmeted on a dedicated cycle path?
Land cannot be mass produced, but dwellings certainly can be. There is plenty of unused or underutilized land in the US waiting for a high-rise to be plopped on it.
Wouldn't pass completion ratio be a better metric?
Generally nets are not supposed to be washed with untreated water (doing so will wash away the infused chemicals). If you are going to wash the net, you are supposed to wash it in a bucket or any small container with treated water to maintain potency.
As far as I know the DRM on DCPs (Digital Cinema Package) isn't broken. Yet. Maybe because relatively few people have access to the encrypted content. I guess the most important thing for the movie industry is to have the cinema window free from pirated copies.
In theory. That particular object was, I think, disabled in a fix that went out over Windows update:

But I guess it might be enabled on lots of business desktops where the functionality was in use prior to that.

I read "famously aggressive little country" with 'little' as a diminutive, not necessarily a literal description of size.

I could easily see myself referring to my native USA with that phrase.
Man, for me it was a pain in the ass for about 6 months. I love my kids, bu I just couldn't get over how mmuch tiem they took.

Over time though I realized that they become necasary to who I am, and not a blocker to who I am. They give me q reason to step away from the computer, and often while switching tracks I come up with good ideas.

It's not for everyone though I am lucky enough to have a day job that pays me enough so my wife can stay home, and I suppose a wife that wants to stay home.

If you hate kids, don't have kids, but if deep down you think you would, then it might be a good idea, the younger the better, I am 26, and am stocked that when I am 40 my oldest will be 18, so I have all whole nother life to live after this one.

I'm not the person you're responding to, but we had our first 8 months ago and I thought I'd interject.

For the first few months I got almost nothing done. When other parents say that they "have no time" yet seem unable to answer questions about what they were actually doing, they're not lying or covering up. Time "disappears" like crazy yet also feels like an eternity. Days pass by full of chores, cleaning, and calming a screaming baby.. but like with any form of exercise, the painful aspects are somehow forgotten over time.

I certainly share the sentiment that having the demand of a child in your life can help you "focus." If you know that baby monitor might be going off in 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours (and you have NO clue when!) you start working in a way that's quite organized or that is easy to dip in/out of. This works out for the better. With no such demands, it is very easy to rationalize procrastination.

It helps a lot to have everything solid with your partner. I'm NOT a natural parent at all and while I love her, my daughter still bugs the crap out of me and I find it hard to "deal" with her for more than an hour or two at a time. I recognize this as a flaw in my personality, but also know I'll be crazy over teaching her things and talking to her when she gets older. This isn't a "man thing" as such, but it certainly seems common (my dad was exactly the same way.)

As such, my wife is far and away the primary parent. As a nightowl, I tend to my daughter through the night when she wants feeding, etc, but during the day it's 90% mom. I do a lot of chores though, but the arrangement is that I'm the breadwinner and she's a full-time mom. She's very cool with that, but.. a lot of women might not be.

Not sure I can think of anything else off hand, so I'll leave it there for now :-)
There was an article in [can't remember] (something good like the NYT) recently that talked about the phenomenon of black guys being hired as security guards in Arabic countries under similar intentions. The choice wasn't for negative reasons (e.g. cheaper labor or to "scare" criminals), but because they were seen to be exotic (a good trait for the high end boutiques being guarded). I seem to recall the black guys who were interviewed were bemused by the idea but appreciated the work nonetheless.
You're right. I apologize for having wasted your time and humbly award you three karma points.

I remember when I first learned about this sentence. I was in my grammar school's computer lab playing a typing tutor game (probably from MECC), and it had me type this phrase repeatedly. After the first dozen times, I asked the computer teacher what was up.
>In fact, perhaps they would take exception to your assertion that they are actively seeking control, is that not a possibility?

Why would them taking exception mattered if they couldn't control the speech of others? Let them take exception and do whatever they want with it so long as it doesn't affect the rights or ability of others to speak.

>How do you know they are not being harmed by those who actively utter speech designed to be hurtful?

Is speech hurtful or offensive? That's the crux of the issue, and you've assumed the end before you argued a position, so you've put the cart before the horse and assumed your intended consequence. It's not a logical argument.

>What qualification can you present that would make me trust in your assessment of some other person's level of tolerance to abuse?

Who are you again, that I need to provide qualifications to you? And why do you keep assuming the conclusion by saying offensive speech is 'abuse', when it isn't? What qualifications do you have that let you do that?

>And really, "tolerance to abuse" here means "inability to escape abuse."

again, assuming being offended is the same thing as being abused. Nonsense.

>your willful offending

I find your bad faith argument offensive, so we'll take your definitions and say they're abusive and you're being willfully abusive to me - please stop abusing me.
This just goes to show how people are. They don’t want others to benefit if they don’t also benefit. They would rather more people get sick and die than someone get a shot before their turn. So much about politics can he explained by looking at people this way.
Good to hear! I haven't tried Snikket, but the more idiot-proof you can make it, the better.

Invites seems overly complicated. Can you make it 1 question? what's your email address?

Then you just sign them up for a server and tell them after the fact, hey look, you are all setup with server SpiffyXMPPServer Tell your friends to contact you at: <full xmpp address here>
Not only was he within policy, he was given permission, explicitly.

> Dr. Gokal said he called a Harris County public health official in charge of operations to report his plans to find 10 people to receive the remaining doses. He said he was told, simply: OK.
Totally unrelated to the post but chaotic-neutral question: are you folks similar looking twins? If yes, have you ever done this or thought about going to work in place of the person and see how long you could get through the day? Would love to hear anecdotes if any!
The response to COVID-19 is very different between Spain and the US. Harris County got the vaccine faster than anticipated and no protocols from late December even existed.
Tether implosion was delayed by 30 days.
I think in Israel if there is any vaccines left over from that day because people didn’t attend their appointment anyone can show up and get it. Our obsession with fairness is ridiculous.
Can't really call it freedom if you're not going to allow specific companies to join and use it though...
Their usecase is explained in the accompanying blogpost. https://netflixtechblog.medium.com/introducing-vectorflow-fe...
Sure, those are all obstacles. But the way I see it, they can all complement each other. I.e. One of the posters mentioned drift of accuracy for some alternate positioning methods. You could then periodically, when possible, use this more-accurate but obstacle-susceptible system to "correct" the drift.
I'll give this a shot, perhaps make a blog post about my perceptions on all three
The IO and State monads is specifically to solve the problem of side effects in a purely functional language, so they are not really relevant in other languages.

But other uses of monads, like say monadic parsers could be useful in other languages. And list comprehensions is also based on a monad in Haskell - this functionality is clearly useful in many other languages.

But without some kind of syntactic sugar (like do-notation in Haskell) the use of monads becomes far to cumbersome, and it ends up being easier to solve the same problem in an ad-hoc manner.
> filesystem permissions are reasonably flexible

Env makes things really flexible.For instance,you can call a program with env variables directly thus overriding the default ones,which simplify configuring applications. You dont have to have a test set-up,a production-setup or a staging set-up,just start a server or an app with different env variables in the command line.

You don't want your config or keys to depend on an OS,or a language. Finally Env variables can be restricted to a set of users,so third party process started with a different one cant access them.

I believe env variables are better than other solutions.
You'll be waking up half the neighborhood with those unless you pack them with so much grease some of it escapes around the tracks, making the whole thing ugly.
Yup, people will still ask "WTF are monads?" just like they'll soon ask "WTF are (combinators|arrows|...)?", and there will inevitably be more tutorials, as per [0]. :)

It's clarity of explanation that makes anything teachable &| learnable.

I was addressing the parent's assertion that "It just seemed to lack the self awareness that founders probably treat him differently than the average person they interact with."

Clearly PG does have that self-awareness.

The problem with what you're saying is that it almost falls into the class of unfalsifiable assertions. Meaning there's virtually no way to disprove what you're saying (not in the sense that it is proved true, but in the sense that it is nearly impossible to prove either way). Even if PG were to assert vigorously that he has spotted many cases of people being nice to his face but being mean elsewhere, you could just continue to assert "Well he just hasn't spotted it well enough."
