Might want to fix the grammar of the biggest bit of text.

"Tell your friends what your need" should be "you", not "your".
More precisely, this sounds like a typical "weak" hash table in a GCed language. There must be prior art for this. Maybe Knuth?
Additionally it doesn't make sense in the case of games. What is the alternative here? Make it a downloadable exe? If they can download a game, they can download Chrome.

The attitude only makes sense in the case of content, when a less stylish webpage is a viable alternative.
The first step in saving my coder eyes is to not use light text with a dark background.
I'm quite sure the machine code generated by my compiler isn't nearly as good as it could be if I hand coded it but the efficiency of not writing in machine code far outweighs any potential performance gains.
It avoids the flash by effectively blocking load. It's not documented, but you can infer it:

- CSS blocks rendering until download [1]
- Inlining a font in CSS makes it part of the CSS
- Fonts inlined in CSS block rendering until download

You can get a similar effect by using a webfont loader and hiding the body until the font loads. The utility uses a strong name for downloading font resources, so if you want to go down this road and use a long expiry for the font resources that'll work as well.

The "rhythm method" is notoriously ineffective, and relying on the word of a celibate man for an understanding of sex is a bit strange. Also, 90% of what he is explaining assumes you believe in the theology of the Catholic church, which a lot of people don't.

Also, I hardly believe that a lot of people have a "dim view of sex," and if they do, it is most likely because they grew up in the Catholic Church. Trust me, I know because I did.
I'd like to try DMT before I die, but even while living in the Netherlands I'm having a hard time obtaining it. I might try extracting it myself some day but I'm not much of a DIY in that respect and I'd probably light up my garden shed.
4. A brave new world is set in LONDON, UK. Not that many native Americans in that neighborhood.
Lightning doesn't currently support USB3, unfortunately. It did get rid of a lot of obsolete old interfaces that were present in the 30-pin dock connector pinout, though, and opened up possibilities for new devices (like the HDMI adapter).
Qi / Shen.

Having settled on Common Lisp a good few years ago I haven't explored a new programming language for a looong time (having gone through the phase of trying out a lot of them before that). However, recently I've felt the need to broaden my horizons again and did dabble a little in Haskell.
I realize the 'ban' is because of the Native American/savages angle, but now that the book comes up I'd like to ask: I read Brave New World expecting a dystopic society, but failed to understand why the world that is described is dystopic. Huxley seems to go out of his way to ascribe all sorts of pejorative attributes to the society in the book, to the point where the promiscuous sex lives of the inhabitants are presented so prominently that I got the feeling he did this mostly to instigate the (presumably morally much more strict) early 20th century reader against it. Still, he described a world where the vast majority of people were happy, actually happy and content with their lives, and managed to live those lives without much hardship or grief.

Now maybe if one takes the position that hardship and grief are somehow morally virtuous (a position that is surprisingly common and that I as, I think, a rational person have a very hard time understanding, especially since the reasons for it are very seldom given in coherent theories) there is merit to this argument. But even then I still fail to see why the 'savages' in the book, or the protagonist, are somehow morally better than the other people.

So if anyone has read the book and wants to explain why they feel the world described in there is bad, I'd be very interested to hear why they think so.

(I'm leaving aside some what I think are minor issues, like the apparent destructive qualities of soma addictions - that was one of those other points I felt Huxley just put in there to get his point across, the technical deficiencies of the drug are irrelevant to the moral position he's (presumably) arguing).
Ruby, from a pragmatic point of view. As a front-end developer in a Rails agency I want to be able to debug the interface of my Javascript and my colleagues’ Ruby better.
The heading is misleading imho.

As you see written in the spec, it was on the track to W3 Recommendation, but as every vendor who implemented it chose SQLite, there was little to do about it.

In other words, it isn't a "kill", just end of active maintainence. But spec as it is, is pretty solid. And WebSQL is here to stay in WebKit - there are just too many apps dependent on it to kill it. And no good reason to kill as there's no viable alternative on the horizon.

Summing up - WebKit (so iOS, Android and others) has it and will have it for quite a while, IE won't, FF won't too.
I have never been employed, never even interviewed for a job. On my first contracts I was woefully underqualified. There were hardly any boxes I could tick. But I was very good at communicating my enthusiasm and interest in computing, not just in the sense of getting things done quick and dirty but in terms of theoretical interest as well.

I just kept throwing the stuff I was interested in at anyone who would listen and I kept asking questions about what they did, applying ideas I had to their problems. I did that on every occasion and it stuck. But what stuck were not the particular skills that could be inferred from what I said. What stuck was that there is someone who will really get involved in the project, shape things, make it his own project and see it through.

There is a small minority of people everywhere that suffers from the 9 to 5 attitude of the majority. You need to make sure that these people recognise you as one of them. That's the most important lesson I have learned, not just in the beginning, but also later when it came to taking on interesting tasks I wasn't necessarily qualified or experienced enough to do.

Is the zoom hardware shouting "welcome to thunderdome" at frequencies we can't hear so that the the app will realize it's in the thunderdome?

If so someone should make a jammer.
WOW. From interacting with him on bug reports, I'm surprised to read that. I think the problem was he was never a practicing engineer, so he didn't understand things like unit tests, the fact that we need to fix a bug in october, or make a change in october for the thanksgiving weekend-- we got told to defer on something that he then filed a ticket for the middle of the night before thanksgiving.

Etc.
Am I the only one who can picture thieves shooting these things out of the skies and running off with the packages?

I guess it's no different than following the UPS truck and taking the package after they've left, but intercepting a drone farther away (say, over a field somewhere) is probably less conspicuous.

No, capitalism is the problem. You can't fix capitalism with more capitalism. Growth at all costs is what is killing us.

Populations don't stabilize due to growth. They stabilize when the standard of living reaches a point where having many children stops making sense. If only there was a way we could share our prosperity with everyone.... hmm. Is that called capitalism? Why, no, it is not.

We're not a virus on the Earth; we're cancer. Cancer only kills people if it grows too fast. For example, many men die with prostate cancer, while relatively few die of it.

And perhaps most importantly, competition (that is, alternatives) for all of the above; since campuses tend to be monopolies for many offerings.
It seems that many obtrusive anti-social behaviors would pertain to actions inside the home and there have always been bylaws and standards when living in apartment or condo buildings (eg noise, pets, grills/fire hazards). That being said, this still limits individual freedoms non-trivially.
Steve Gibson has also been on the vit D train for some time predating covid.
That’s a different problem. “Fix toxic environments that keep certain types of people out of an honest line of work” is a good problem to solve. That is not the same as “let’s increase the number of people of a certain demographic within an industry”, in and of itself, taken entirely on its own.

Probably because all conversations (1-to-1 and group chats) are E2EE.
The author is now a new favorite person of mine. I've been working on my own language, and I have an incredible overlap with the features that Wuff has, specifically the coroutines, refinement types, the "facts" (which I had been inspired to implement from ATS with its proof threading), the io_buffer slice type, and the effects system. It's kind of shocking how much stuff there is on overlap, but it does give a good indication to me that this is a "good idea."

I'm especially pleased with his approach to practicality re: compile times.

I'm also glad it's Apache2 licensed because I'm going to be reading through its source for inspiration at a future point for reference for my own implementations.

I also see a strong likelihood that I will use it extensively for a few projects I had been working on in embedded for the ESP32 on my mobile device prototype and for non-embedded projects with my PL and otherwise (like for my Neovim UI frontend). I'm so glad this was posted.
> There is an unwavering belief that knowing the corner cases and weak points of your own code makes you somehow better at writing the tests.

This is a very common -- but inevitable -- misunderstanding.

The real reason the same person should write tests and code is if you find a person who is competent enough in both technical domain and problem domain to write the tests -- you definitely want that person to write the code as well.

See how it's not "developers should write tests"? It's "domain experts should write the tests... and domain experts should write the implementation."

The two tasks happen to need overlapping skills.

You mean the steep learning curve, and lack of “starter pack” type of frameworks (for lack of a better description) is holding you back being more productive with Clojure?

I’ve been doing Clojure professionally for over 5 years now and it’s definitely a known issue that Clojure is very expert-friendly.
I think they were asking about the punishment part.
I really like Julia despite the criticisms. I think the problem is that it's still a young project that needs more core developers to help maintain it.

I find bugs and unintuitive behavior a lot when using Julia. Often it requires me searching the mailing list or Stack Overflow to figure out "idiomatic" Julia code when this really should be in the documentation (who knew that a matrix operation A += B allocates new memory for A each time?) And I think global variables should just be removed altogether, as many problems as they cause. I commonly find myself thinking "There's no way that someone new to Julia would know you're supposed to do it this way", whereas with Python or even C, that's not the case.

But I think the language has a lot of promise, and the language design is really slick and well put together: powerful macros, a nice type system, multiple dispatch, clean code when you don't need performance but lots of additional decorations you can add when you do (devectorization, @parallel, @inbounds, @simd, type annotations).

Remember that Julia is only at dev version 0.4. The author of the article complains about breaking backwards compatibility on an almost daily basis by removing or changing things. At this early stage, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. I'm tired of languages that have unintuitive and quirky (stupid) ways of doing things just in order to not break existing code. C++, for instance, is abhorrent to me. How many pages is the standard??

At the moment, Julia has a steep learning curve if you want high-performance code. But once you know what you're doing, it's easy to get it running at the level of C. Plus, features like viewing the AST, or the LLVM and native assembly representation of the code are handy for debugging.
I don't know about elsewhere, but in Australia CSG wells are often operated under a coal mining permit (vs oil/gas drilling permit) where the drilling operations, casing requirements, testing/audit trails etc. designed to protect aquifers (and well integrity) are nowhere near as strict as conventional oil & gas.

Hell, the crews drilling CSG don't even have basic understanding of well control theory (or enough instrumentation on the rig to detect problems) - hence the occasional uncontrolled blowouts, mitigated only by the fact that these CSG wells are slimhole vs conventional.

I'd much rather live next to a fracked conventional oil & gas well which has been cased & cemented according to the design of certified petroleum engineers, pressure-tested with all the results lodged properly with government authorities to depths far exceeding any of the local aquifers - than a dodgy CSG well cemented by amateurs who work to rough guidelines "appropriate for the area", who write more documentation on their invoicing than on any actual data collection...

False.

Copyright protection attaches to a work as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium by an author. Undeveloped film is arguably not a tangible medium suitable for communication and this film is obviously not being developed by its author. The development process of film renders it suitable for copy.

"A work is “fixed” in a tangible medium of expression when its embodiment in a copy or phonorecord, by or under the authority of the author, is sufficiently permanent or stable to permit it to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a period of more than transitory duration. A work consisting of sounds, images, or both, that are being transmitted, is “fixed” for purposes of this title if a fixation of the work is being made simultaneously with its transmission." [0]

Also this would essentially be abandoned property. You can abandon copyright just like any other property right. Trademarks can also similarly be abandoned.

Would you claim that all the "abandonware" games still belong to their original owners and deny people the right to use them as well?

Sorry, I don't buy this argument at all. I'm not native speaker either and somehow have been able to write comprehensible sentences since elementary school. There is no excuse for not using punctuation, not capitalizing letters, not breaking statements into sentences.

Here, an example [1] right from SO, raw copy-paste:

>please can anyone point out what I have done wrong this is code for permutation which stores all possible permutation of the small vector "vec" and then display it

And this isn't the worst I seen, but those get deleted quickly. But this one already tickles half of the points I've made.

Most people are no good at business - and you're not filtering out successful people to give you advice on a business idea. There are meetup.com groups for entrepreneurs which are usually just people with full time jobs fantasizing about not working for the man... if you just want to talk to random people I would say go there instead of interrupting someone when they are getting coffee in the morning ;)
The funny thing is that the high prices did drive competition -- modern synthetic diamonds are virtually identical to the naked eye and are just as good (if not better) for industrial machinery.

But thanks to some really good marketing, people continue to pay a premium for the "real" thing.
Try this book ( http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementatio... ).

It is written be Andrew S Tanenbaum, the author of minix. The book contains whole of minix source code. Nothing beats learning from reading actual codes. Linus Torvalds was inspired by this book. In his autobiography "Just For Fun", Torvalds describes it as "the book that launched me to new heights".
Well it is the most important holiday of the year in North and South America, Australia, Europe, much of Africa, and for a sizable minority population of Asians, and likely for people currently living in space stations or Antarctica. The community is a sum of its members, and much of the community is currently enjoying the holiday spirit. If the community should wish to indulge in non-Western and non-Christian holidays as well, I will not bah-humbug their holiday experience.
Hey Quinn, sourcegraph looks cool, but we are already at ~20 plugins and writing more. Not going to rewrite them, but I'll take a look at making a vim srclib plugin since I'm familiar with viml.
The question at hand wasn't "Does it make lives better?". The question at hand was "Does this help people quit?".

So, who the fuck cares? People who want to know if Action X advances Goal Y or Goal Z, both, or neither. Like me, for instance. I want to make the lives of people better, but I also want to be able to connect cause and effect in a way that makes it possible to predict the effects of policies.
I think he's trying to say that, "Don't feel bad about not buying a diamond, the only possible value is to convince the other person to marry you in the presumption that you can afford such bullshit and your partner is a bit shallow and might not care about how the household finance works nor willing to participate, otherwise your partner would advise you to better spend it on what matters.

add to the list Chris Hedges and his articles about Inverted Totalitarianism.
Exactly. I can put whatever date I want onto an image, thus we should view the duration here with skepticism, but this does appear to be an issue nonetheless.

The low-end of this market is not so hot anymore. Young, un-sung startups (the ones you are targeting at $10) have started switching to managed application environments such as Heroku and App Engine.

Excellent description, thanks.
Due to my inattention, I misread "sudoSocial" as "Suicidal". I briefly assumed it was a social network self-destruct site.

Viewing the demo that page linked to, really slowed my browser down (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3).
For me, being an entrepreneur has meant two long years of putting the other people in our company first (I'm talking paychecks here) while we bust our butts (along side everyone else) to build the company to profitability. When your income is on the line, you don't hesitate to ask for the sale. Not for a moment. Not if you "get it".
Whoops, I forgot the point I was trying to make. NULL is (void * )(0), but the code

void * p;
memset(&p, 0, sizeof(p));
assert(p == NULL);

isn't necessarily valid, since the binary representation of NULL isn't necessarily as a sequence of zeroes -- even though everybody writes code which assumes that it is.
I have an unused sample pack, and it's definitely not two-part. I think it's just air-activated.
What's interesting about "reach" though is that it seems not correlated with influence, as in the test done by Christakis and Fowler http://edition.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/11/16/fowler.christakis.... So maybe your 1st tweet had much more "impact" (>number of retweets could already indicate that btw) even if much lower reach.

A 2cts idea on impact ('did it resonate with your crowd or cross the board'), staying on twitter (vs. if people did sthg you recommended to do like in their study 'buying a book') could be to see the n degrees of cascade retweets. Ie. if your direct follower retweet that's "level 1 retweets" if some of their own follower retweet "level 2 retweets" etc. to see if there is a cascade effect or not.
Apple is externally antihacker, but internally they prefer hacker type programmers, not mediocre code monkeys who don't actually get things done. They want people to solve interesting problems as well. They just need to be prepared to have Jobs tell them it sucks and to do it differently.

A message from the future...
I think you're jumping to conclusions. More likely people thought it was part of an act. Here's a comment from that page to support my conjecture:

I was there. Regarding the point of nobody helping him at first, it wasn't immediately clear that it wasn't part of the act.

And here's another one:

The reason as to why nobody went up to help him the first time is because everyone thought it was part of his act. Nobody had any idea that he had fainted. Everyone was just dumbfounded by what had happened and thought it was an odd twist to his show.

The second time around, when people did realize what was going on, those who planned the event rushed to the stage to help him. Food was brought backstage and his manager, agent, and local emergency medical services were immediately contacted.

This nonsense about nobody doing anything is absurd. And the commentary by others on social networking sites accusing staff and event planners of not acting is absolutely baseless. Staff were backstage to monitor and assist in his recuperation from the second he stepped behind the curtains.

Just clarifying.
As icegreentea said above, many comments from audience members present things somewhat differently. For example:

"When he first collapsed he was talking about gravity, and the audience believed it was part of his act. The instant he began wavering and fainted a second time he was instantly aided and given a chair and a water bottle."
XenSource was bought by Citrix in late 2007. But we are still using OCaml on XenServer. (XenClient started using Haskell.)
