I subscribed to the San Jose Mercury News once because some kid came door to door signing people up as a fundraiser. I gave in because his pitch was so self aware: "Hey man, I know nobody wants the paper, but would you still mind helping me out?"

I did, for $20, and it was an obnoxious several months waiting for the paper to stop. I had twice as much crap to throw away every week as usual, and I didn't read the paper once.

The worst part is that now every newspaper in the bay area has me on their list of people-who-might-buy-a-paper and calls me every two weeks trying to get me to subscribe. When they call I tell them that I'd be happy to subscribe to support the paper if they can guarantee me that I'll never _ever_ receive a physical newspaper. So far none have been able to.
While I actually enjoy milling about in the supermarket (sometimes I bump into friends, and half the time I not only can't decide which brand/type I want but I can't remember what I wanted to buy in the first place), that's pretty cool. They need to let these people get their hands on a classic VW Beetle, and get rid of the 2000 reawakening.
Considering 'The World' around me ceases to exist for me when I'm at work (as mentally I'm inside the computer/network), I completely agree with you. So long as I can see the screen, access the mouse and type on the keyboard, I don't care if my desk is laden with screaming baboons.

Outside of work though I admit a laptop is tantalizing. Not for space savings on my desk, but for portability.
Sorry, but I doubt that the guy is actually going to give you any equity. You could say you are leaving unless he gives you an offer on paper (which should include some notion of the percent of the company you will get - if he just offers 100,000 shares you can bet he will set total shares to 100,000,000,000 to screw you out of owning a real chunk), but he'll probably call your bluff.

As another poster suggested, get out and go freelance. Maybe you can steal his clients - I hope he has been as lazy on the non-compete as he has on granting options.
By shenanigans I mean all the stuff they did in the name of competition. Lyft and Uber both did shitty things to each other but somehow Uber got the rap as the bad one. Globally, every single company Uber competed against did shitty, illegal stuff but you never hear about it. Didi sent in spies to Uber China to work there and steal
data. No one talks or cares about that.

You didn’t read the article you linked to, didn’t you? It’s pretty funny. Neither TK nor Uber blamed the victim ever. And TK didn’t order getting the medical records. His subordinate, Eric Alexander, who I had the pleasure to work with once and he was an asshole, obtained them and showed TK. TK shouldn’t have looked at it, but he did. Nothing came of it except Eric Alexander was fired.

I didn’t blame Susan Fowler. I know you have an agenda against Uber, so feel free to believe what you want to believe. The reaction to her memo ruined Uber because leadership was incompetent. She was right to have written that memo, so don’t try to make it seem like I’m blaming her.

Companies the size of Uber will always have harassers and assholes. It’s unavoidable. The best you can do is create a culture that calls it out and fires them immediately. Uber hired a VP of engineering from Google but he was fired because he left Google because of sexual harassment. But Google covered it up. Same with Andy Rubin and his sex slaves. Yet how many of you still use Android?

I agree that TK should have brought Uber to IPO years sooner.
Further proof of my theory that GHC's license has a clause buried in it stating that you must post an explanation of monads on your blog in order to use it.
I understand this feeling, but it goes away after a bit of practice.

In java/go/c#, there are lots of statement and small expressions. In haskell expressions tends to be longer and are broken down in multiple local definitions (with let or where).

You learn to recognize important words (fmap, forM_, $, etc). You also learn to recognize how those words are associated, and how data is passed around.

Granted, there are people who abuse point-free notation to build complex and hard to read expressions. However I find that a codebase with rich informative types and a reasonable coding rule set is very pleasant to read.
> For those who are bothered about the exponential algorithmic complexity of nub

There is nothing exponential about nub. Given only equality comparisons, detecting and eliminating duplicate elements requires quadratic running time.
Not in time for the OP it would seem.
Look, I'm not aspiring to do what you are suggesting. I'm simply inquiring more into the process. Also, if they don't have my information how will they find out who's who? There are at least 100 people in my city with the same name. I'm geniuinely curious as to how this whole thing works..
Because nobody knows how to do that and it is likely extremely expensive by every metric.

And, no, I am not being facetious by saying nobody knows how to do that. I am being quite literal. Have you ever done that? Do you know how? Do you even know what you would google to figure out how?

I'm yet to see my favorite library of course's documentation on a HSM. How do you do that in e.g. PHP with MySQL? MVC with MS SQL? Java with Oracle?
So when can we buy these at the local ikea?
That's more or less what OE does. It allows the browser to use HTTP/2 (and encryption) to connect to a site, but keeps the user experience the same as unencrypted HTTP.

That's why self-signed certificates work in this context; the identity of the server's not supposed to be validated (unencrypted HTTP can't validate server identities), so the browser can accept a self-signed certificate without warning.

There's no change to how certificates are authenticated when accessing a site via an https:// URL.
Nope, skj had it right and you've got it backwards. Otherwise we wouldn't perceive black holes to be black holes...

If we observed matter falling into a black hole to be "halting there", well, we'd see it halted there on the spherical surface of the event horizon instead of what we actually see, which is that matter and light get completely sucked in.
"Found" doesn't mean it was "just found."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derinkuyu_underground_city

"It was opened to visitors in 1969 and to date, about half of the underground city is accessible to tourists."

However there are new (big) areas discovered in 2014 -- referred to as "a new underground city:"

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/new-details-emerge-in-massi...

"The underground city was discovered by a Turkey’s Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) urban transformation project. Some 1,500 buildings located in and around the Nevşehir fortress were demolished, and the underground city was discovered when the earthmoving to construct new buildings had begun.

Hasan Ünver, mayor of Nevşehir, said they were going to meet with the TOKİ head and make a plan regarding the underground city. "
Googling a number doesn't really do personal numbers, VOIP, etc.

Maybe, but for those who do not know what bcrypt is it is useful to mention that it used with a salt.
Using a mouse and full size keyboards. Some people may use trackpads on laptops, so any interface designed to be speedy with a mouse would be nice.

It sounds a little like Needish or Redbeacon. You ask for what you want/need and then people/companies make you offers for it. Sort of a reverse eBay.

I don't know how Redbeacon is doing, but I know Needish didn't do very well, maybe because of the market they targeted, but they ended doing a clone of Groupon and then selling it to Groupon to build Groupon Latam.
They don't think they are explosives. They think they might be precursors to explosives.
Thanks for your comment. I'm the author of the review.

I struggled with this as I wrote the review. How much of the material should I paraphrase? Not being a classicist, and only having a layman's view of things, I felt very uncomfortable trying to put words in the book author's mouth.

As you can see from another comment on this thread, from what I've said, I'm already being told that I seriously misrepresented Stoicism (I disagree with that commenter's point, but it's not important). So after some thought I felt that the more I tried to make the review into a tl;dr the more I'd probably screw it up. I put in as much detail as I was comfortable with.

If you read down to the bottom of the page, there's a product description from Amazon. It goes over things from a different angle. You can also click on the search box to see what hackers on other technical sites thought of the book. That's just below the review in the box titled "the buzz". As I was researching other reviews before I wrote mine, I found a heckuva lot of detail around exactly what you are asking about. I suggest you give it a couple of clicks and see if your questions aren't all answered.

I also didn't want the piece to sound too cheerleading-ish, but heck, I really liked the book. I read 30 or more books a year, and this is probably the best book I've read so far this year. While I have my doubts about lasting impact, what can I say? I really liked it. Not going to lie or exaggerate about that one way or the other.

Doesn't it strain credulity that the NSA would (bother to) insert a flaw that would be detected by many commercially available analysis tools (or the right compiler flags)?

(I certainly shouldn't pretend to know much about C, but the above matches my understanding of the situation)
This is the first time ever I have reached the limit of NYtimes open access so not quite sure why a simple request to look at an article that may or may not be interesting is bringing out all the amateur lawyers and defenders of DRM.

Obviously I would buy a subscription if I thought it worth the money. I have spend 1000's of dollars on books, magazine and newspaper subscriptions and will continue to do so in the future. I don't see that value in the NYTimes but do like to read the occasional article.

As a matter of principle I never subscribe or buy anything that uses DRM. Paywalls are a grey area (for me) but probably OK for something like a newspaper.
Most programmers these days are quite astonished that anyone would actually still use Emacs. If they realized how much functionality it has, and how powerful its extensibility model is, they'd be ten times as astonished. It's got things that Eclipse may never have, not in a hundred years, and that's no exaggeration.

Thrill me.
We are certainly influenced by them, but we don't have to be controlled by them,
While this is true, we should never forget that we are the one animal with the capability to move beyond this. Through conscious effort, you can overcome many of the artifacts of evolution that run contrary to your happiness in the world in which we live in now. It's not easy, and it's never complete, but you can continuously improve yourself.
There's an Android app, called Simeji, that's the same thing. Each button is one of the groups (a, ka, sa, etc.) and then you swipe in each direction for a given sound. I think it's -a if you just touch, -i to the left, -u up, -e right and -o down.
Attacks like this work when there is a floor or fixed exchange rate that is artificially high, this creates the opportunity to sell high then, if you can break the floor, buy low to fulfill your obligations to deliver the currency. If there is enough downward pressure the central bank will exhaust it's foreign reserves supporting their currency and have to give up on the floor.

The currencies you mentioned all have floating exchange rates, the central banks aren't fighting any sort of battle to support them. The exchange rate isn't really a policy goal of "modern" central banks anymore, they adjust interest rates with a target level of inflation and economic growth, not a target exchange rate. Achieving inflation & growth goals actually precludes the use of monetary policy to maintain a specific exchange rate. Look up the IS/LM model, while not perfect it gives you a good framework to think about monetary policy and macro economics.
I've got to remind myself to not read comments on any random website.

An interesting idea, and it does make sense to me that being stereoblind may be an advantage for 2D artists. Just watch anyone trying to draw with proper perspective for the first time, they usually dramatically skew basic angles until they learn to see what it looks like, not what it is. Anyone who naturally has a less-strong sense of 3D would likely find this easier, because it's closer to how they see the world anyway.
Another reason is that "Free Software" doesn't have deep pockets to lobby government with.
In javascript, functions are closures. This means that the function "closes" over the environment in which it was defined. In the above example, the function has access to the sum variable because it was available at the time the function was defined. It is then free to add to that variable when the function is called at a later time.
I think a better distinction would simply be whether you are aiming to profit from speculative movements (gambling) or risk premiums (investing).

Any kind of technical analysis, fundamental analysis, day trading, etc falls into the first category. Passive investing, factor investing, investing in ETFs, etc falls into the second.
I'm sorry, you lost me, where is the problem here?
FB had plenty of schema changes. I know, I wrote software to push them out. The important concepts for pushing schema at scale became part of Skeema.
> We need Saudi oil

How much do we need oil vs wanting to sell them weapons?
That sounds quite harsh. It generally fits with the idea that “Europe is a museum, the US is a factory”. You aren’t allowed to mess up the museum, you’re just supposed to appreciate it. However I can’t imagine that Germany doesn’t allow cabins, lake houses, weekend homes etc anywhere?
I'm looking forward for a post from GitHub describing what exactly was thrown at them and how they were able to mitigate it.
This shows how utterly complex geopolitics in the Middle East is
Something should be said about the radicalization/brainwashing that security personnel in the GCHQ/NSA/&etc. services must endure in order to keep their jobs.

I'm familiar with a few folks in this industry, and what they have been through - in the form of an internal training regimen designed to condition them for their positions - can only be described, at best, as brainwashing.

They're given repeated exposure to highly graphic videos depicting the results of terrorist activities. They're exposed to extremely highly polished videos and presentations on the subject of attacks against Western society. They're expected to demonstrate that they can handle these artifacts and still maintain their position on posts that will be secret, and highly sensitive. All the while, they are expected to continue their embedded lives in these societies.

A great deal of psychological manipulation is required to keep these people in their positions - it is not nearly well enough scrutinized by the public, in my opinion.

Those who give themselves the right to psychologically program the security operatives who maintain that terror is the #1 reason for the usurpation of civil rights, must be investigated further by the public at large. There is much radicalization occurring within the halls of GCHQ that is highly offensive to our western values and society at large suffers when these secret psyops are allowed to continue to occur within the inner circles of security power.

That it has become industrialized as a means of producing "qualified personnel" is something that must, without question, be addressed by the public at large - too much trust is being placed in people whose principle job is to manipulate the psychology, and thus the motivation, of the military-industrial security elite.
I use to lovvvee that movie ! Flippen disgusting monsters though !
What is Github's backend like? Do they use cloud service providers or do they manage their own infrastructure?

Highly curious to know how Github is preventing the site from crashing down.
IANAL, but from glancing around online, it looks as though you are in general held responsible for contracts and agreements made when you are intoxicated. The exceptions seem to be when the intoxication is not voluntary (i.e. if you're drugged), or if you're so far gone that you can't understand what you're agreeing to and the other party "takes advantage" of your intoxication.
Agreed with the idea that at some point you plateau with the thing you are doing. Its frustrating, because you can't always see a way to change it. Sometimes that is life, I guess - because there is more to life than just being the absolutely best at one thing in life. It is ok to plateau and "collect dividends" (paycheck, nice hours, promotions over time, etc) and focus on challenging yourself in other aspects of your life.
Cheers! Responding between dumbbell sets - I hope I may never stop being an animal ;)
You should still be able to compile GNU units to WASM with Emscripten. No idea how easy that is when combined with Rust though.
net useful minus externalities. Sure
You get most of the value from the UA from just seeing if someone is on a mobile phone or desktop device. That is easy to parse.

Most of the other metrics are noise and don't impact business decisions.
everywhere outside the US this may be true, but in the US there is the millennial age group, which is a mini-population-boom. The millennial age group remembers stuff like handbrake and bittorrent, is socially conscious about the effects of centralization, and is about to become the largest demography with consumptive power (they are in their earnings/savings prime right now and having children).

Increasingly, millennials also are having children, and I think there is a market opportunity for these sorts of products (e.g. I want to sort pictures by my kids, but without giving facial recognition to fb/google).
Reddit is so user hostile, it's not even funny at this point. I've been using libreddit instead but of course, you can't comment through that.
Of course bananas are under attack by their own potentially devastating blight, so that may need reconsideration.
Those books are great, but they only start to make sense after you've been doing development for a few years. Its very hard to get any kind of 'buy in' with those when you are just getting started.

I disagree that application development and web development are similar. When you build web apps like 'real' applications, you end up with all those heavy java frameworks. And god help your sanity if you ever been subjected to the code of a desktop application written by a web developer.
The fitness function does take char location into account. In python, it'd be
-1*sum(abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(chromosome,target)).

The gradient here is continuous and smooth. Problems where GA is an appropriate solution have fitness landscapes that are much more pathological.
Well, you're right about that distinction-- but from your comment "only on Tuesdays" I understood you were talking about behaviour modification some time after "load time". Also keep in mind the first paper cited in the article (profile-guided inference) actually points out that in most cases, "load time" can be inferred nearly statically-- as in, you would not need to run a test suite, you would only need to "load" the base code. This is a feasible task, in most cases.
Or maybe Chinese people just don't use Facebook.
Get an engineering degree, then get an MBA. But if you are set on business, I got my MBA (mostly entrepreneurship and marketing) right out of undergrad at Indiana University so I kind of enjoyed the undergrad life while in grad school and it was great. It's a top ten business program and Bloomington, IN is a great town.

One of the countries largest biotech firms offered to pay for my MBA (I was extremely talented in the biological sciences) at a few different schools, I got to pick. All the schools were about the same rank but IU had a brand new building, a top ranked entrepreneurship and marketing program, and really hot girls. I had a blast and learned quite a lot, though compared to getting an engineering degree the MBA program was a breeze, so I got to enjoy the college lifestyle I didn't have during undergrad.

You should take a look at IU Bloomington.
