I wasn't being rude (At least I don't think I was? I'm sorry. Tone is difficult to communicate sometimes and my brain is fried) I was just asking if they had any evidence to back up their claims?
The bank doesn't, really, they own your debt. The amount that you owe the bank does not increase or decrease with the value of your property.
Thanks I’ve been watching videos on YouTube about becoming a millionaire in retirement. They say mortgages and car payments are bad in any form.

To them any debt is bad no matter what it is and drags down their calculation of becoming a millionaire. Their calculation for net worth is all savings minus any form of debt.
I've toyed with that idea for a long time now. I go back and forth, but as of today, I don't feel like that would do much good with the success I've seen people having with the examples. Sure, v6 was popular because it was very AG-grid like and included everything you could ever want and just dropped right in. But IMO, that led to most of its long-term and difficult problems, mainly issues around "How do I style this", "How can I rearrange this", "How can I extend it to do this". I find it much easier to show people how to make their own table component in an 80 line example, then extend it in userland to fit their needs.

I'm always open to the idea though.
I agree. I'm not saying that Chromebooks aren't a good fit for education. I'm saying that using Chromebooks in schools aren't going to necessarily endear them to students to the point where the next generation is going to prefer either Chromebooks or GSuite when they have a choice at home or when they go to college or start working.

Teachers want Chromebook's for their students. When they have choice, they will use their own laptops for themselves.

Just like no one ever said they want to use Version One for their own personal projects. They would choose something like BaseCamp Personal or Trello.
Your mileage may vary, but it sounds to me like he was claiming his constitutional rights... "Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" seems to be a key-phrase of people who know their rights when faced with police officers. That, and verbally not consenting to any search - your person is also protected by constitutional rights, afaik. (note: I'm not American, I may be wrong)
Have you considered making encryption available on a per-folder basis? The encryption would be done on the client side so it wouldn't incur any additional computational expense for your servers, but would still provide the peace of mind that many look for with TrueCrypt containers. This could be even be done in a way to allow the user to choose his implementation.
That's awesome.

Ever read Cory doctorow's "little brother"? That's what I think of every time I read one of these stories.

I've said it before- there are two easy ways to avoid this 1. Drive, 2. Don't visit the USA. To us residents, especially if you live in hawaii- sucks to be you!

Oh, and the rest of the world is laughing at you. Fix your flipping government.
Can you trademark an existing word?
Personally I very much like django-nonrel. It gives me pretty much the same constraints as webapp, while still maintaining enough of my old worldview that the culture shock isn't too big.

Yes, you still have to adapt to the AppEngine way of doing things. But the adaptation is much simpler ... and I completely dislike the way webapp does a lot of things judging from the examples Google provides. I like my world nice and full of free-floating functions. Wrapping things into nearly meaningless objects hurts my brain.
Fantastic quote. Thanks!
I find it appalling that US citizens are forced to such measures to enforce their rights and I'm glad that there are people both patient and stubborn enough to play out scenarios like this. However, as a non-US citizen I always wonder to myself when reading such stories if there are any international rights/laws that may be applicable when entering the States as a foreigner?

My understanding is that there are absolutely none, and I would have to submit to any and all egregious and invasive 'requests' (with NO limits) that are demanded of me in order to gain entry (which is why I haven't been there in a while and have no plans to go back). Does anybody have any information to the contrary?
I would like to know where you draw the safety vs. personal freedom line. How far is too far? For me we crossed the line a long time ago. It would be nice to hear a different perspective. As it stands now, a 13 year old boy or girl will be groped during an enhanced pat down.

As I see it, 9/11 can't happen again. That is, an airplane will never again be hijacked and used as a missile. It's possible for someone to blow up a plane but not to turn it into a missile.

There are lots of places where a terrorist can kill 200+ people that don't have any security at all. Given this, I don't understand why having the level of security in our airports is justified. We've made it so that airports are a much harder target than a sporting event. Thus, airports are much safer from a terrorism point of view. Enhancements to security are not needed and a waste of time.

I genuinely would like to know why my reasoning is wrong in your opinion and where you draw the line.
I agree with this. Overstating the negative effects of nuclear war do not help us prepare to survive the reality of it. The author states many times that we should still avoid it and it would be the largest disaster ever, but people still seem to resist.
Another fallacy is that smart people are more likely to be found behind profanity-laced rants. In my experience, people resort to vulgarity as a gimmick intended to convey a message that isn't adequately conveyed by their content itself. The emotional, gimmicky nature of it is the reason that it tends to be negatively correlated with logical quality.
He was well known for hacking the language in clever ways...

but I do agree it is a bit off topic.
His other company mentioned there, 3D0 filed for bankruptcy in 2003.
I think the real question here is why you don't reorganize your business to take advantage of the benefits of an S-corp.
What do you mean by "dumber"?
Thanks for the bug report. This bug is now fixed.
The reason people like idempotency is because it is great for "at least once" systems (as opposed to "exactly once", which is hard to guarantee).

But REST's version of idempotency isn't good for this. If you retry your request multiple times (due to flaky connection or whatever), it only guarantees the same server state if your duplicate requests are bunched up.

For example if you do a DELETE then create it again with a POST, if there is a duplicate straggler DELETE floating around it will end up redeleting your new recreation.
This isn't something I'm ignoring, not having to deal with fuel ups and maintenance is one of the big reasons I've wanted to buy an electric car for several years. But every time I've priced a Tesla in the past, the premium for electric has been too high for me. That's what really caught my eye about this.

If this had been available 3 years ago when I bought my truck it would have been an instant purchase. As it is, I'm likely to sell my current truck and buy this when it comes out.
Where is back mirror
SimpleDB is indeed still up and running. Considering how it was described from the start as "retail store product catalogue" I wouldn't be surprised if AWS is keeping it around due to demand from a single large customer which starts with "A" and ends with "Retail".

I wouldn't be surprised if SimpleDB has been reimplemented on top of DynamoDB though.
John Walker said (in 1987):

> If you walk up to a computer and ask it “what is the name of the famous bridge in the same state as Disneyland” you won't have much success, but most people will immediately answer, “The Golden Gate Bridge”.

I prompted GPT-2 on talktotransformer.com with that question. The first two times it gave me nothing coherent (a made-up URL about Minnesota, and something about Georgetown), but the third time, it said:

What is the name of the famous bridge in the same state as Disneyland?

This is a double fact: it is a California Heritage Bridge, a nickname invented by the California Turnpike Authority and Santa Clara County Transportation Authority (whose name is, coincidentally, the original name of the Carson City Parking Authority).

How did the first hippie, Kesey, travel across the Golden Gate Bridge?

In Kesey's famous classic "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" he ruminates the great flight across a river, and then some.

This is almost entirely false — there is, for example, no such thing as a "California Heritage Bridge", and I can almost guarantee you that the Carson City Parking Authority, if it exists, was never called the "Santa Clara County Transportation Authority". However, GPT-2 clearly did manage to make the association with the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as several other things about California.

My attempts to rephrase the question in a more GPT-2-friendly way, such as "There is a famous bridge in the same state as Disneyland, named", were not successful, although they did confabulate an entertainingly large variety of bridge names.
I think it depends on the size and nature of the corporation. For a small bootstrapped private company (I run one), I always think about taking care of employees along with making a profit. For us, customers come second because I have the freedom to decide that (no outside board/investors to answer to). So I would say it depends. Corporation is not just about taking care of the corporation. There can be a middle ground even though I agree that a corporation is not a charity and the goal is obviously to make money. I personally don't believe in "Profits over people" even though I have the freedom to believe and act accordingly. perhaps once you get VC funding and the hockey stick growth pressure, all that goes outta the window ?
Ah - I was of the impression that the 16-inch MBP initially ran Mojave, even though you buy them with Catalina installed. Probably from the crop of rumours last month?

In that case yeah, a partition with Linux might be your best bet if you want to use 32-bit apps, unfortunately.
Oil pipeline spills make me furious, but they don't have the exact same effects as carbon emissions. It's not a useful comparison.
No. Baker v. Selden does not settle the question of APIs and fair use. That is why the Google v Oracle case made it to the Supreme Court.
What is the value of posting semi random stuff to your twitter and facebook accounts?
I have applied to a bunch of universities for a MS in CS degree and it is a pain to manually go to website to check the status so I made this simple script to simplify my work. It'd be nice if other fellow CS Applicants here could also contribute to it so we can have it simplified for other universities as well. So... Just contribute if you can... Cheers.
It is trivial to create exceptions to fix this. An up to 1-2 million dollar trust that reverts to the state after the minor turns 22 for example.

Surely, to investigate foreign nationals, they just put their details into XKeyscore and...
Linux did not evolve so much as that it tried very hard to emulate Unix but outside of the *BSD world.

I think microkernels will have their day in some part of the future.
I wanted it to signify how simple the project is by giving it a simple name.
I tend to prefer ISO-style dates/times myself... and unless the date+time is tied to a location+event (and not always then), store/transmit as UTC. This leads to far fewer headaches in the long run.
People can make any money they want with any technology - even COBOL could work for business. As an employee I want very good money _and_ a broad set of opportunities (not some unicorn maintenance gigs).

It's not like knowing XAML became useless... More like the whole world moved on to HTML (no matter how crappy it is and it is very). Where are the WPF Disciples? Where are the XAML Disciples? Where are dozens of XAML GitHub repos? Just the tumbleweed rolling across the desert...
I find that a lot of what is taught as the "right way" to make maintainable code isn't actually that effective in practice. Particularly when I need to read someone else's code.

For example, the conventional wisdom that functions should be less than a page of text and that they should do one thing and as abstracted as possible actually makes it quite hard to understand what a program does when you aren't familiar with it.

Instead, I'd propose first writing straight line code, and then abstracting out the common functionality into separate functions as necessary. Casey Muratori (the guy behind Handmade Hero) calls this compression oriented programming [1].

I usually do sites and get tired of them and have little knowledge about marketing them.

Currently, looking at selling ampoll.com. I probably just want too much but I'd rather just not sell if the selling price would make me feel shame towards myself :)
I wish that I still had it! It was, as I alluded, a while ago!
If flash is off, the better thing is to just record video, and grab a picture from the moment the user likely started pressing the button.

If flash is on, advanced software could combine the before-movement non-flash image with the flashed image, but I think that (currently) is too computationally expensive expensive for a mobile device.
Clojure's STM is based pretty heavily on Haskell's.
Does anyone have more details or examples of Google's "crige-worthy" HTML for efficiency?
I hope that in determining which HTML is optimal bandwidith wise, there is also some consideration of what HTML is optimal rendering wise. (obvious cost savings of going hard down the bandwith optimizing aside)

Knowing how the parser treats certain constructs and deviations from the spec. probably gives us some insight into how long things will take to parse. Or is client side that much faster than waiting on normal network latency?
Which is actually what the article says:

"Apple can’t stick to its own rules with the gigantic iOS App Store."

and at the end:

"App Store reviewers are not consistent with enforcing the rules, and therefore censorship still seems arbitrary."

Also, there's no allegations of special treatment in the article at all.

Did we even read the same thing?
I got a 28. My wife works with kids with autism in an elementary school and she often talks about how I'm towards that end of the spectrum.

I tend to answer questions towards the extremes which is the only thing this test scores as "points", but I guess that's a legitimate marker for someone being more autistic than average.
Heh, that was me, and this is actually a completely independent project. Mine's still coming along, and I think it's an improvement.
A COI argument is a form of ad hom argument. In ritualized debate, what should matter is the intrinsic value of the evidence each side brings to bear, not the identity, influences, or motivations of the sides themselves.

Is there any details about how he did it?
In my other comment, I said the ICO should have been the first place this was reported rather than putting it on the net for opportunistic bad actors to dump all their customer data in pastebin.....
You appear to be a victim of Gang Stalking otherwise known as Organized Stalking. I am also a victim of similar tactics.

“Gang stalking” – also known as “organized stalking” – is a slang term for a set of tactics used in counterintelligence operations involving the covert surveillance and harassment of a targeted individual. The goal of such operations – in the parlance of counterintelligence personnel – is to “subvert” or “neutralize” an individual deemed by a government agency (or corporation) to be an enemy.

I see some programmers that work at it, but after 5 years their level is just as it was when they started out.

At the same time, there are others who grow their skill at an amazing rate, going from almost clueless to great over like 2 years.

(Assuming same workplace, similar tasks)
Maybe not, but money does dictate what "taste" means.

Thanks for letting me know... I had some exposure to C* while at GoDaddy, and it would seem to be a great fit for what you are talking about...

GD is using it to store user-generated content, and it works very well, most responses (lookup and processing) were sub 20ms consistently under heavy load... (I'm hoping they write a DNS service that does similar).
That's exactly what the system contact picker does (it gives the app access to the selected contact, without giving the app access to other contacts or to future changes to the selected contact). There are apps out there where exposing all your contacts is a desirable behavior, though, so they can't get rid of the "read all contacts" permission.
This is beautiful. Can someone who understands what’s actually happening explain if this is just negotiation theatre? Meta is obviously bluffing and posturing right, and there’s no real likelihood they would extricate their platforms from Europe?
People need to understand that different personality types exist and have some idea about the different traits that people have.

It's common to assume everyone thinks like you, then to read spite into their actions.

The website looks nice but the contrast is too low.
I might be more swayed by that hypothesis were the NIMBYs not referring to the homeless as "trash", "scum", "thugs", hanging nooses and advocating violent assault. Here are some actual quotes [1] from people organizing against sheltering homeless people in their neighborhoods:

> I think at this point if anyone sees anyone doing this behavior the person witnessing it should run up to them while they're squatting and start kicking them as hard as they possibly can. Maybe if people start being super aggressive and act very violently these vagrants will stop, or at least realize they may get attacked. And I don't mean just kick, I mean kick with bad intentions and they [sic] intent to injure. Kick them in front of a bus if possible.

> Forget pepper spray or mace. Use Hornet Spray and shoot at the eyes. Will give you time to run away.

Biggest for me was "I don't actually like my job, but it's easy and pays well, and working from home gives me the time to pursue other interests so I don't feel the need to look for a new job to escape the boredom".

Even that didn't last too long though, and I ended up finding another job after a few years of working from home.
Going to college for programming must mean they are quite young indeed. When did colleges even start offering programming degrees? Unless maybe this is some sort of vocational college.
> As a programmer, please first define the words "programming" and "easy"

I came her to say pretty much the same thing.

As far as I'm concerned, "programming" is just the art of writing instructions. For software developers, that means writing instructions for computers in a machine-readable language. But really any form of recording instructions is "programming", regardless of who the instructions are meant for.

I've taught my wife a little programming and for her the hard part is understanding how to translate instructions into a machine-readable language. Her biggest struggle is understanding how to decompose each step until it can be accomplished using the limited features and tools provided by the language.

When I think back on my education, we really didn't talk very much about the process of logically decomposing instructions. I've also had a hard time finding any resources to help me better explain the process to her. I wouldn't be surprised if that hurdle is responsible for most people giving up on programming.
This comes down to individual preferences, but does anyone prefer going to the office? Here's my list of reasons why:

- Better relationships with co-workers. I enjoyed smalltalk, getting coffee, lunch, or drinks afterwards with them. It was also easier to interact with others outside your immediate team.

- Separation of a work environment and home environment.

- If I had a question, it is more likely and quicker to get answered in person instead of over slack/email/zoom.

- Had fewer meetings

- Company dependent but we got free food and other perks.

That was done in response to "empty your pockets", a command from a TSA agent.

Paper doesn't trigger metal detectors so there's no real need to put it all into the tray the first time.
First-class functions can be used for continuation-passing style, but to do what Seaside does elegantly you really need first-class continuations.

There's an interesting article on how Seaside uses continuations here: http://blog.fitzell.ca/2009/01/seaside-partial-continuations...
The use of the singular "they" dates back to the 1300s.
From TFA:

grep '[[:punct:]]$' files

I suspect the author has grep aliased to `egrep` or `grep -E` because [:punct:] is an extended regular expression and GNU grep defaults to basic RE mode.
