This is one striking thing about Go. The signal to noise ratio for online resources is excellent. The resources you turn up in a Google search feel professional and practical. When I search Java problems there is a lot more blog-spam, half-assed / misguided copypasta, and a very high ad:information ratio.

We often talk about size of the community as an important consideration when adopting programming tools. But really there is a sweet spot, where a community has enough serious people to produce the right information but not enough unserious people (yet) to bury it. Communities at this stage can be better than those for universal standards.
Wait so running a kubeadm init and then removing a master taint took you whole week to figure out? How long ago was that?
Why are you so anxious to shut down a broader discussion about the reality of human nature and slavery? Perhaps there is a painful reality of the human condition which you do not want to confront?
> No, no, no, no, this is absurd. You can't sue energy markets for "price gouging" when spot prices shoot up.

This lawsuit exists, so obviously you can.

I agree with you though, anyone who is buying spot priced electricity ought to know better. However if you read the article you'll see part of the lawsuit alleges that the customers did not in fact fully understand what they were getting into with Griddy and that Griddy did not do enough to ensure that they understood it.

There is definitely some kind of case to be made here, and there is some lawyer supporting it, so we'll see how it shakes out.
I believe Berkshire owns both realtor and a home builder/community builder companies.
Url dispatchers are important insofar as they allow an application developer to worry about just writing an application and defining its resources. If they had to configure url routes in the web server, that adds an additional layer of error and requires expertise at yet another level of the stack that they shouldn't need to have.

Likewise, a deployment engineer should not have to worry about the particular resources being served by an application. In other words, the interface between application and server should be as simple as possible, and url routing just makes more sense in the web framework because the application developer wants control over the resources and how to reach them.
I am still so frustrated that Mono got lambasted for being a M$ trap. It was the biggest FUD I have ever read. Hope to see mono return to use in Linux community again.
Thank heavens for those dedicated, young, white voluntarists.

The point is they were not "voluntourists", they really did sacrifice to help your grandmother - as opposed to showing up, getting in the way while doing a few trivial things for a week or so, playing much of the time, and otherwise squandering money which would have been better just sent to the orphanage outright.
Is it better than Hacker's Keyboard?

A "glass" is defined as a supercooled liquid. Perhaps the catchy handle "liquid glass" should have been rejected, following a literature review?
Even if that's the case, using dates isn't a solution because dates don't give you the build that the researcher used. Date of publication is different from the date when the code ran and there is no guarantee that the researcher ran the latest version of every dependency that was available to them anyway. In fact that's very unlikely considering that some their libraries might require older versions. It might not even be possible to take the latest version of every package and use them in the same environment.
I haven't come across an imperialist who did not end up becoming authoritarian or wasn't already an authoritarian. History is witness to what colonialism/imperialism can do to subjects it ends up gaining control over.
Their control is solidifying. Does that not concern you?
> Each day a disk jockey would read a serial number aloud on the air, and if any listener was able to produce the matching dollar bill they would win $30,000. Michael reasoned that 100,000 one dollar bills was 100,000 opportunities to win the prize, giving him a statistical advantage. [...] They soon realized that it was impossible for two people to examine that much money in the allotted time

This doesn't seem possible. Surely someone who thought the way he did would have realised that you could sort the money in advance.
It's how Google's safe browsing API works, so it's not unlikely.
So what are the facts??
shit; I meant, do you see a _saint_ in the mirror? Silly me!
Are we talking about the same website?

Maybe I'm too distracted by the formatting of the website. I find his pages to contain ridiculously large size photos that make the article hard to read. No tables or organization of information in a consistent way (or across lenses, cameras) that makes comparisons or reading easy. Very hard to tell if he's actually expert at something or his credibility. All of his observations are just qualitative (as is any typical amateur enthusiast camera website).

I much prefer DPreview.com's reviews of cameras and lenses.
The PS5 has hardware-accelerated decompression, which is probably what you’d want to use when targeting PS5.

Mind you, it’s based on an algorithm that RAD devised…

I'm curious how this plays out for the least-well-paid listed, customer support.

Sounds like it's $50/hr up to 20hr/wk, $25/hr thereafter. For 40hr/wk, that's $1500/wk or $6000/mo or $75k/yr (assuming 2wk unpaid vacation).

Not bad honestly.

I remember using Dr Java in my computer science course 12 years ago, not sure how relevant it is anymore.
This might come off as naive, but I feel like that would that be pretty easy to solve, as far as urban design problems go, right? Kids mostly don't need specialized facilities -- just more of the same kind of buildings. If you took a college and turned one of its buildings into an elementary school and one of its quads into a playground, you're most of the way to being "child-friendly." Or so I would think? Don't have kids, in case that wasn't obvious.

Hopefully this doesn't sound rude -- I just mean to say that a college campus's child-unfriendliness isn't a reason not to copy the model, since it's easily fixed.
I use teams. It works well. Mostly. I like it. Mostly.
Trump was actually hoping the entire gravy seal battalion would suffer coronaries on the walk to the capitol building, it's the only way he gets out of this without the mob turning on him.

Think about it, Trump invites these gas bags to the white house, and then gets em all riled up about something or other, then tells them to march to the capitol? That's 9 miles away! A march of that length is practically a death sentence for a lot of these patriots! Trump is playing 4d chess as always.

Sure, some of them may have rascals or walkers to lean on, but that march might as well be 40 years in the desert. Stumbling, out of breath, leaving a trail of high capacity ar-15 mags emblazoned with the cross, and dragging a confederate flag through the mud like a starving sauropod's tail, just after the meteor.

Trump new exactly what he was doing. Exercise for Americans!? He's bold,you got to give him that.
Spend the time to do all that stuff anyway. It's part of your job as a developer and they don't need to know the breakdown of how long it took you to finish the work or what you did with every minute of every day.
Well that "now I'm not going to visit your site" depends on a lot of things. I may not want to visit that site, but most sites I go to are linked from somewhere like fb, reddit, digg, hn, so it's hard to remember which sites I don't want to go to.

It is a reader's "right" to block advertising and "get all your stuff with no ads." That's because it's the collective responsibility of site owners to maintain usability of their sites, because that ensures overall usability of the web. If people could shove popups forever, if there were no consequences, maybe they would and there would be no web.

Consequences are necessary, and different consequences send different messages. If people stop coming to your site you think the content is bad. If people block your ads or restyle your page that means your design is bad. It tells the site owner what he needs to work on.
Can you elaborate a little on the subtle compatibility issues you've found?
Neat! Do you have the data posted anywhere? I'm not sure my code produces much of an improvement on yours, but you can get some nice results with ggplot2:

library(ggplot2)
x <- Sys.time() + 60 * (1:2400)
y <- rpois(2400, 50 * (sin(seq(-4 * pi, 4 * pi, len=2400)) + 1.1))
qplot(as.POSIXct(x), y, geom=c("point", "smooth"), xlab="time", ylab="count")

Didn't he announce publicly like a week ago? And he told Microsoft about it a few days prior to that. Maybe it was a little shady at first, but Microsoft seriously hasn't fixed it yet?
For a comparable curiosity, see the VOC. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company –

“It was the first multinational corporation in the world and the first company to issue stock. It was also arguably the world's first megacorporation, possessing quasi-governmental powers, including the ability to wage war, negotiate treaties, coin money, and establish colonies.”

“The Dutch East India Company remained an important trading concern for almost two centuries, paying an 18% annual dividend for almost 200 years. In its declining years in the late 18th century it was referred to as Vergaan Onder Corruptie (referring to the acronym VOC) which translates as 'Perished By Corruption'.”
Well, Zhe Germans, not so much.
Mostly agreed. The EU also counted on some vaccines that have failed to deliver or are considerably delayed.

One correction: the EU also introduced export restrictions a few weeks ago.
No, most countries don't teach patriotism in schools.
>Don't most countries teach that their kids they are good country?

Not such level BS. The teach the country's history, they try to portray most wars/disputes etc. from the perspective of the country (though most also allow for balance), and so on. Few, if any, countries tells students that they're some unique exception upon the world, or have some burdern to lead the others. Colonial Britain and WWII-era Germany comes to mind.

When I was learning F# I felt the biggest barrier was lack of good documentation. I’m used to languages like node.js, ruby, and elixir where APIs/guides are straightforward.

programming language maintainers need to think about UX.

I’ve started building a web server library[1] in F# to address this. Other libraries took for granted that I had no knowledge of .Net and required lots of .Net boilerplate.

You wish. In London's fintech maybe.
Yosemite is much more memory/swap intensive than Mavericks. On my 4GB 'Air, with 3 apps open, it swaps about 40 times as much as Mavericks. So much so, that SSD lifespan is a concern.

Missing a few blackboxes does not make all that difference in practice. Whatever happened with the plane was probably related in other flights already, and if it's really something that never repeated anywhere, it's not worth protecting against anyway.
Specifically with regard to vehicle sales, dealerships absolutely do not pay invoice price. Between dealer cash, customer cash, holdbacks and other financial things, it is all but a made up number.
Apple has ushered in a new era in which a high level of centralized control is considered acceptable to consumers.

WhatsApp is obviously trying to keep total control, like apple.

This doesn't explain all of their failings here. For example, I'm sure they will eventually find ways to address their control issues and still be usable in other browsers.

They might never do a web interface that runs in iOS, due to apple's own controling approach. Of course there is still the whatsapp iOS app.

> Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for our web client to work...

What? Is this true? I can't think of a reason why their devs would ever need the users phone to be online.
Sorry, I can’t agree with you here. What you’re saying is basically company’s dissolution of it is hacked. If this indeed becomes the case the companies will indeed kill to keep their secrets.
> A lot of that data (or similar-enough data when measured in e.g. how much it benefits sales or makes marketing cheaper) can probably be found elsewhere.

If you can find equivalent data somewhere else, you should go build a company around this. People built their products this way because it works. If you have a better idea then you should make it happen.
Lol. +1
They avoid talking about it. In Bavaria we have a up to 25k € fine on violations (which I presume is backed by a German wide law). I think mention this fine is a next escalation.
Being a doctor involves at least 4 years, plus an extra 3-4 for residency — and that's assuming you have met the pre-med requirements.

There are several other health care options that are much quicker to learn. Such as nursing, physician's assisting, lab work. Etc.
Thought i might as well add the reference.

I meant 3x. Coronavirus can go through N95 filter size, but just as mention in the link below, that’s still better than not using it. For certain situations, like needing to go out for errands and then be near the elderly, it’s smart to have it and makes sense for individuals to buy the retail stock.

The bad thing is academia is badly paid so are the support staff which is why I left a world class RnD organisation to work in commercial software.

Why focus on Apple devices only? It seems like a strange business decision to limit a general service to a minority of the market only.

I once used Zoom's web interface and the video quality was horrible. When I switched to the downloaded app, it was much better. Not sure if this was a one-off problem or an underinvestment in their web interface.
Yeah, 100% agree that real experience translates to gaming experience better than gaming experience would translate to a real car.

The sims that the teams run (especially the top teams) are significantly more advanced than a CodeMasters game and fancy steering wheel...
Well, the Ettus radios are still probably superior if you’re working with higher frequencies, but there are still cheaper alternatives.

Last time I was at the Ettus site I was dumbfounded more with how much they’re trying to sell software for.
It's crazy that the current environment is encouraging us to surveil ourselves.
They don't make nostalgia like they used to.
When archery was essential to war, it was still only "stand and loose" - foot archers typically planted stakes in front to ward off cavalry, or would be on hills or in front of woods. Basically stand still, shoot the buggers, run and hide if anyone charged.

As for hunting, that is extreme slowness, and perfect accuracy because you won't get a second shot, and if you move at all before loosing the animal moves too. Hunters wait.

So apart from firing in the saddle, archery was and is about stillness, accuracy and yes, in war, speed.

The guys able to put 30 arrows into the attacking targets at 50 paces will win the war, and the guys setting snares will fill the pot ;-)
Yes, you can do it with unix sockets. Not sure about the latency, but you can pass the listen sockets in advance, rather than having one process accept()ing incoming connections and then passing those to other processes to handle. So unless you're binding to new ports all the time, it's all just a little extra startup work and won't impact the performance of the server.
It does not work on the default iOS keyboard. You can't just slide your finger around the spacebar, you have to long press on the keyboard and hope you don't trigger the alternate character popup instead. Then while you're moving the cursor around, half the time it will just start selecting text. Moving the cursor sucks on iOS.

Yes, less than a year after trump allowed the patriot act to expire.
Not to mention documented out the wazoo.

I run a NetBSD box and got into kernel hacking just from reading man pages.

I suspect OpenBSD's documentation is even more comprehensive.
How do you check if it has happened or not? Is this based on peoples votes after the predicted time of the event? What if someone wants to make a prediction that involves when something occurs?
It's a bit trite, but it's a message I want to get across to other startups. It's bit me hard at some of the companies I've worked for long ago - the biggest culprit was EC2.

There are days that they'd simply stop launching instances for us (even though we were nowhere near capacity), or performance between two components would degrade to an unusable point.

We were easily spending two full-time engineer's salary every month to AWS for this privilege, with no access to anyone at AWS to immediately figure out what was happening.

We ended up redirecting that massive amount of money to hedging our bets and ultimately lowering our costs by minimizing AWS usage. Sad, wasn't what we wanted, but it was the only way that we could make our business work.
Rather, PHP.

To be fair, it is actually fairly popular, thats why.
Unless your simple techniques and general rules include disabling cookies, disabling javascript, disabling images, changing your IP between requests, changing your MAC between requests, and changing your User Agent between requests, you're still going to be trackable by anyone intent on doing so.
Someone with access to your phone can also access your emails, text messages, contacts, photos and more... I guess to some people location data is more sensitive than those things, but not to me.
So use Tromp-Taylor rules. "A player's score is the number of points of her color, plus the number of empty points that reach only her color."

Sorry Japan, but Japanese Go rules are a mess and need to be retired.
Heh, I'm actually a designer as well, and a printmaker who was vetted for the tamarind institute a while ago. Designers don't want to be boxed into the art world, as modern art is strictly solipsistic, and attempts to make a statement in and of itself and it's context. Design attempts to amplify a statement, to add value, clarify and guide. Saying design is art and craft is like saying engineering is intuition and emotion. There are a shade of in both, but it's missing the point.

Programming on the other hand, is not a strictly visual field which helps any analogy, and while the product is engineering, the act of is comparable to an art. There's no such thing as perfect code, and the hacky little stuff is analogous to the troubled motion's of Jackson Pollck's arms struggling against the constraints of physics to make a statement.
Not quite that easy I'm afraid :-)
Congrats guys! Looks great.
Which is from memory less than Sky charges for content that includes adverts and is (IMHO) of vastly lower quality. Certainly far less of Sky's content is original productions.

This is great when combined with Dropbox's public folders. I recently developed an app where I pushed 40+ builds out to testers. On every bugfix or new feature, I just had to Build & Archive, save the IPA directly to Dropbox and then give it the public URL.

I stashed an HTML file in the same folder with a link to the provisioning profile (also in the public folder—when you add new devices this needs to be updated) and the IPA file. Testers could bookmark the page and grab a new version whenever they wanted (or whenever I notified them).
This guy is nuts. Anything approaching the level of backdoors is covered by layers of clearances, compartmentalization, and is almost always performed by government employees, not contractors. There is 0% chance something that important is covered by a stupid NDA. Especially not with the FBI.
"That is crazy, I had nothing to do with a back door and none exists to my knowledge. I welcome a thorough audit of the code".

That's pretty much exactly what he said, in more verbose form.

That is one way to look at it. Personally I do not believe winning is subjective, you either get what you initially wanted or you didn't - that has got to be pretty objective.

The goal you move towards on the other hand is obviously something that should be chosen by the individual who is trying to win and I will argue that all goal that really matter or bring happiness are chosen by the person who is trying to achieve it rather than by society at large.
thanks for you feedback.

i've replaced it with a new version which scales the node size according to the pagerank. i agree that the graph is a bit messy with all these connections floating around but it was also the intention to show the density of references between films.

here's a version with fewer nodes: http://zegoggl.es/svg/imdb_top_50.svg
Right, one cross-platform developer (Tweetdeck, maybe) was talking about his beta and it was a hundred on iOS, and around 20k on Android.
Another version of steps 3 and 4 is:

3. Discover that the same drug works for a different disease and patent the new application of the old drug.

4. Since the drug is still patented even after the original patent has expired, anyone making the drug still has to pay up even if they are selling it for the original, out of patent, use.
