Doesn’t the Capitol have those controlled access rooms that Congress had to use to access evidence concerning Trump’s impeachment (I forget the exact name of the rooms)?

Given that Congress was recently sworn in, there probably was nothing just lying around, but that is the sort of physical evidence that would be especially sensitive and embarrassing to leak.
Yeah; there’s an “decryption” algorithm at the top of the spec. DMCA banned hacking DRM schemes.
I recently googled ugg boots and found that the lawyers for UGG told Google to de-index some sites that had ugg in the domain name. That's uncool.

I knew a guy who had "timex" somewhere in his domain name and the lawyers for Timex did a cease-and-desist on him.

These trademark and IP lawyers are crossing the line because they know they can go after small-time operators who can't afford the legal team to fight them. And then that sets a legal precedent of a long series of wins that gives trademark and IP lawyers more ammo to use on even more cases, like a snowball.
If the ad-blocking crusaders succeed in eliminating all discrete advertising from the web, then what we're left with is (1) very little content (2) lots of paywalls and/or (3) a web supported by paid placement. If users don't allow the ads alongside the content, then the ads will become the content.

On the other hand, if you choose to block ads and recognize that your decision to block ads and enjoy the web as it exists today wouldn't be sustainable if everyone did it; just accept that you're freeloading and move on.
Ah, but notice that the commercials repeat, so that is built in to the annoyingly effective system. They time the second one for when you get back.
Pro tip for those newly graduated programmers or those in school:

Avoid companies like the one described in this article like the plague.

(Although I suppose it's hard to tell what things are like from the interview process alone, but a business model based on selling to large enterprises is a red flag.)
It's a very interesting perspective. They are dead-on about video games. You startup the game with basically no instructions and quickly have to figure out how to play.

I'm curious how well this type of thing would do in a corporate environment, especially those switching from Office 2003 or earlier to 2010. I can see how this would be much more helpful than the standard training classes I've seen.
I'm not familiar with Clearwire, but perhaps another useful analogy would be the stock of Vonage, which IPO'd in 2007 at $13ish I believe. Vonage wasn't profitable up until last year and their stock is at $2.47 as of today's close.
It is pretty easy to meet US citizens in the US, however. If you're looking for a girlfriend / wife anyway, then the odds are high that she will be a citizen. Two birds with one stone.
You're not using ``begs the question'' properly.
The only applications I've made that interface with JSON or XML APIs were in Java, and JSON was less headache every time. GSON makes it trivial to marshall/unmarshall, and I haven't found an equivalent XML library - not for lack of trying!
IMHO the story of the iAPX432 really is the whole industry in microcosm.

Intel hires the best of the best, the true cream of the crop to design them an ISA that is meant to crystallize everything that is known about ISA design into a single completely new design that discards all the broken crap of yesterday and will be futureproof for decades if not forever, and a chip to implement it.

Everything is going to be great forever, but it turns out it's a bit hard to get done, so they just have the B-team whip up something quick to sell in the meantime. This something was the 8086, which gets adopted into increasingly successful products, but no matter, the new shiny thing is going to displace all of that when it finally ships.

Then it does, and it actually has a hard time competing in performance with the much older stopgap product. It turns out that the team of superstars they hired was very theoretical, and built an ISA that was a dream to program against, but did not really understand what it took to build something that was going to be fast when implemented in hardware. (Also, the system was meant to be used mainly with high-level languages, and the compilers really were not there yet.) Being more expensive, much slower than the competition and with 0 market penetration, the iAPX 432 was dead on arrival in the market.

Luckily, the B-team had been busy working up on another extension of the stop-gap product, the 80286, which is again a runaway success, and only partially because of backwards compatibility with the existing x86 ecosystem. It was also quite fast for it's time.
Siri-only input would make it a joke device. A device like that should be multi-input. Voice, mouse, keyboard, your watch, phone, ipad etc.
Khan Academy has programming classes, including both AP courses. Also look at their Pixar in a Box classes. Free

EdX has a bunch of college level CS courses, including several verions of Harvard's CS50 courses. Start with Introduction to CS. Free to audit.
Banning meetings for two weeks is fine.

But a total curfew that some politicians want to impose is counterproductive.

Most infections occur inside the home. Many German cities with high rents have very high number of shared apartments.

I caught the worst flu of my life inside such a shared apartment. The following years, whenever some flatmate had symptoms, I immeadiately escaped to a hotel. Never had the flu again.

Also, people sitting at home affects their immune system.

Politicians with large houses stolen from the population are fine of course.

We see in Italy that a total lockdown does not work.

People absolutely need to go out for solitary activities.
That would be an interesting factor, do you still have the link to the article?
> can't recall the last time I saw kale

In the Bay Area, I saw it Thursday. For the most part, produce has been pretty available, probably because hoarding it makes little sense.
Another option is to get massive zero-interest loans that the government will forgive later. That way you don’t have to go through the performance of buying a company, you can just pocket the cash.
Cancelling flights is not even remotely courageous or impactful, given that the virus was already spreading in WA at that time. After January, the Trump administration did essentially nothing productive to prepare for the coming storm and squandered the following critical 6 weeks claiming it was no worse than the seasonal flu.

There is plenty of blame to go around but it concentrates at the top.
I have. Compared to what most back-end languages have to offer (CMake and the like), it‘s a joy to use, pretty straightforward and well documented.
Since it is likely to be just monitor for some keywords, this seems very likely.
I think using SELECT in all cases, enforces the idea of just requiring what you need which just gives the performance benefit in other cases even if they occur less.

Even without the optimisation bit, personally I prefer when code is explicit about what it is doing, like the data it is operating on/with. While omitting select makes the code succinct, having it there gives an idea at a glance about what it is operating with.
Seriously!?!? omg lol!!

....

Hmm, actually after a tiny bit of rumination on that new information, that actually could explain a lot.
> For example, dolphins and orcas have been screwed over by humans whether getting captured and sent to live in tanks, or entangled in fishing nets, or having their food sources over fished.

Don't google Japanese dolphin slaughter if you are squeamish.
Pretty much every mainstream language has adopted concepts from FP. C++ has closures. Even Java is getting pattern matching. Everyone has map/fold. ...

Most new languages I can think of have a concept of immutability and sum types. (Kotlin, Swift, Rust)

Many languages are in fact converging on what seems like a local optimum, with a blend of functional and non-functional idioms.

The line has become a lot blurrier, which makes the question hard to answer.
>"So at least I’m not wasting my life there."

Do you enjoy that work and thinking about it? Sure, you may not make groundbreaking discoveries, but there is a lot of space between groundbreaking and implementation. If you can understand the groundbreaking work and see the applicability to other problems, you are in a good place.

It's not a waste of life if you enjoy the work and are adding some value (e.g. someone's paying you for your output, or some other measure of value).

>"how do I know I'm not an idiot here too?"

Who judges what is an idiot? There's raw talent, the ability to synthesize information, the ability to retain a breadth of knowledge and draw connections between ideas, the ability to communicate ideas, and many other dimensions of "smart".

You can have a truly unmotivated genius that will achieve and contribute much less than someone who is just "smart" but has the work ethic. Einstein had both. That's why he is so rare.

> "Are there any other ways to assess yourself to ensure you’re not (amongst other things) out of your depth without being aware of it?"

Again, IMHO, if you are still learning things and feeling out of your depth, then you are in a good spot. If you don't understand the topic, then you've either missed a step between the fundamentals and what you're working on or maybe you've hit the limit of your ability. But truly hitting that limit is rare - most times people could return to learning the basics and a few more intermediate items, return to the problem, have a "breakthrough", and keep going. Progress is not linear.

But it makes sense - as you work on more and more difficult problems, it takes longer and longer to make visible progress. If it were easy, it would have been figured out already. While making progress, it never feels like you're making a big accomplishment day after day.

I think working on goals that are "more suited" could stick you in a place where you've under-achieved to feel "smart" and have not achieved what you could have. Personally, I'd rather be failing (in a way that isn't life altering or career ruining) consistently to make sure that I'm not under-performing or selling myself short. It's an uncomfortable place to be, but that's where you find personal growth and progress.

Last thing - to be successfully measured, it means someone needs to have covered the territory, solved all the problems, figured out and ranked how difficult the problems are, and then put them out there to judge others. If you want to compete in a space that is that mature, have fun, but it seems like you may be operating in a place where the measuring stick isn't built yet.
sounds like visitors aren't the problem it's visitors who come and force an area to change to their liking, being disruptive to existing culture.
Would the new discovery for catalans number be considered a counter to:

> nothing considered remotely new by an expert

Or is the proof mentioned at the end of the article the proof for Catalans number (sorry, I’m a non mathematician)
It wasn’t a personal comment. I’ve seen it in all the houses built in the past 3 decades, coast to coast. Makes no sense thermodynamically. Obviously it sells better than a house that wastes less energy.
And a follow-up question in case it's not true/unanswerable: any idea where they got that number from?
As we don't really know, we went with the worst-case assumption. If it's wrong, then at least it was a nice excuse to update some old infrastructure :)
Thanks. I theory I think I could write a parser that would allow my app to view/import books in your format. Does seem like a bit time consuming to do, but perhaps if there are many people using this format I can do that one day.

My books export to a zip file that includes a json like that. Would probably make more sense if we both would parse to something more universally used (https://schema.org/Book perhaps) and then perhaps more people would be able to use it.
I use colemak, and type as fast as I did back when I typed with two fingers. But from people who switched from touch-typing qwerty, I'm told colemak and dvorak are much more comfortable. I don't think anyone should switch because they anticipate better typing speed, but if you type with two fingers, switching can force you to reset your muscle memory and make it easier to learn to touch-type (that's why I switched).

If anyone is interested in switching, also check out the Workman layout, which is a slight improvement on Colemak's ergonomics at the cost of messing up some keyboard shortcuts
It wasn't Facebook it was unelected media barons who hated the EU because they dint have the power they had locally.
Getting a 'hang' of clojure as a language is quite easy, my colleague and I took only two weeks to jump into things. Even today, specific code development is order of times faster than we can do in Python.

However, lack of general 'all-purpose' libraries for numerous use cases means we have to implement that API or library in a general way (if only for our use case) then integrate it into the system.

This approach has worked quite well, creating our own template code (as everything is functional) helps reuse across many projects, however the initial investment of time/labour is something we would like to avoid for the sake of finishing the work fast.
Generational indices allow safe unchecked array indexing in Rust.

There are many papers that cover how to do this, starting with Alexis Beissegners thesis, up to the latest Rust belt project paper on GhostCell.

There are also many libraries implementing this, so that you don't have to do it yourself.

In practice, however, like the Wuffs project says, most code doesn't care about this. You only need this for very specific types of code, but if you need it, you have it in Rust.

On the other hand, I've asked above what happens if you try to open a png that doesn't fit in RAM, like one of those huge space photos that are >1 Tb in size.

Firefox just handles these fine, rendering only the part of the picture that you are looking at, using level of detail, etc.

This Wuff example assumes that you have enough RAM to decode the whole image at once, which is something that widely-used libraries are not allowed to assume, because they must support from embedded systems with little RAM up to absurdly huge images of our universe.
Can't beat Russian literature for amusingly depressing tales of the proletariat. The summary was enough for me!
I deactivated my account. It's still around, of course, and I can log in again when I want. But I didn't want the distraction anymore. I found that checking the feed on my phone became an automatic habit for no observable benefit. I don't mind so much the whole privacy thing, because I don't think Facebook is that evil. Your information is public somewhere, and you're being tracked by someone, whether you like it or not. And this happens outside of the internet -- it's how business works. So it's not a big deal to me.

The usefulness of Facebook is a big deal though. And it's just not useful anymore. My friend group tends to be pretty selective, and is mostly made up of people I know and interact with in real life. So I do that instead.
Of course, I've been writing about Mike for a while. :)

Not until software lottery tickets quit returning 10x+.

Who, in their right mind, would invest in hardware? NRE kills--especially in mechanical engineering which actually seems to be regressing. Machining companies now charge a fortune for things which my grandfather used to do by hand in his garage in about an hour. Not to mention how long it takes to get an injection mold (14 weeks is not uncommon).

For the price of a couple injection molds, I can flog a gaggle of stupid 20-somethings living in squalor for about a year. No contest as to which has a better probability of cashing out.

In addition, who is going to buy out a hardware startup? Hardware really doesn't fit the Yahooglezoft strategy, so now your exits are very limited. Even worse, hardware acquirers tend to be rational about things like costs and profit.

Finally, everybody who does hardware tries to create the cloud back end and then get anybody else to do the hardware while they extract the rent.

So, longer timelines to cash out with higher risk. Yeah, don't think so.

Now, the upside is that if you do manage to get a product out, you have an actual barrier to entry. 2 guys and a dog in the Ukraine can't just clone you.

While I love the manufacturing incubators, they don't solve the fundamental problem of not knowing how to run machines. The existence of a CNC machine or a TIG welder doesn't magically make you a machinist or a welder. Being able to run a CNC machine doesn't mean you know how to make an injection mold.

Most people fail horribly simply at making a PCB board, and those are totally straightforward.

Read Andrew "bunnie" Huang's blog for a taste of all the little sh*t that can go wrong in manufacturing:

Maybe you should use JSHint. You can configure your editor to run it automatically. It is a bit unfair to compare TypeScript with its compiler against raw JavaScript, when the JavaScript ecosystem has tooling, too. I am not argueing, that TypeScript is not the safer or even better choice, I am just saying, that a properly set up JavaScript environment could have saved you the hassle as well.
Forget the controversial opinion and drama, let's talk about something technical, how does the mov eax, ebx thing work? He said it will update eax to point to the same underlying register ebx points to. But then what happens when something like mov ebx, 9000h is executed? How does the CPU know that this will only apply to ebx, not eax?
Russian kid :D
I'd love to use IntelliJ, but no matter what obscure hacks I try, I simply cannot get it to render fonts properly under Ubuntu 14.10. This makes me sad, because it seems awesome for Scala.
By that argument, Trump's behavior is OK because he was elected.
You also need a well funded strike fund so your threat of a strike looks more realistic on paper.
they just claim they are "job creators" and if they were fined it would force them to lay people off... then magically the public is behind them again because no one wants someone to lose a job. its a vicious circle that only benefits ultra large corps.
Ha. True. I could be talking about myself now.
I am surprised to see that the designs really are "kick ass".

I think you should experiment with charging $5 EXTRA to have the design featured rather than charging $5 less. Free advertising you know.
The best thing to do is to keep innovating. I assume you are not as large as Google, and therefore have the ability to move faster.

Think about what your assumptions are about what your software can and should do. List them out, and really critically re-evaluate them. I am certain you can come up with something everyone in this game is taking for granted, flip a bit, and outdo the competition.

For example rethink the concept of sharing your location NOW. What happens if your app instead tracks you over time, creating a heat map of your territories/areas, and can predict where you will be going based on past trends. Now you are doing something even more interesting with a much larger market. Involve the user in predicting/changing the location behavior and you may find a much larger audience than you were ever expecting.

There's a million ways to go, make your own way up if you want to!
If we take encrypt to mean hash (which is probably what the implementation would most likely mean), this still has the same problem that server-side hashing does. Hashing is fast, GPUs can burn through creating rainbow tables at incredible speed (see http://stacksmashing.net/2010/11/15/cracking-in-the-cloud-am... ). Now if it's talking about implementing bcrypt (http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/) in the browser that would be a real solution, but them the problem becomes adoption (at which point, you basically need to implement it on the server anyways). Plus, users would need to be signaled that this was a safe password box, vs. an unsafe one (which could easily be spoofed by malicious sites).
Does anyone know to what extend the new yield operator replaces the need for promises? Can it be used for most of promises' purposes or do the latters have their particularly nice use cases? It's still confusing after a while.
Well, formerly from the ground level of Product Support Services, I will point out one key thing.

The review system is one of the surest ways to ensure that the hard workers stay on the work floor and are never promoted. The people who find the problems, and fight to get them fixed, are the people who make their bosses eventually look bad just a little, and they get barely ok reviews. Those who work to rule get good reviews and advance.

What this effectively means is that middle management ends up killing the organization.
How do you define success? The intention of the program was to make electric cars for the general public. Tesla so far has sold luxury cars to the rich.
These comparisons bring up memories of when we used to benchmark empty for loops. I think today’s microbenchmarks are starting to feel just like that.

Comparing the execution time of a hundred thousand (sync or not) callbacks vs. a hundred thousand (sync or not) promises is, in many cases, not a good or deciding factor for what tool you should pick from the toolbox. I would assert that in realistic scenarios, it really doesn't matter.
Most people who ace tests without studying are usually just good auditory learners.In a school situation where classroom attendance is mandatory,they excel because it hones their style.Visual learners,the bookworms on the other hand ,endure the classes until after school when they can start taking in knowledge the best way they know how:by reading.

The first group always assumes they are smarter, which is not necessarily true.High IQ people belong to both groups.
> I have trouble believing that anyone who would be willing to rep themselves as a "C Developer" couldn't write this particular piece of code in a manner similar to the author's solution in a matter of minutes

Believe it. A friend of mine once got a job as a Cobol programmer (he didn't know Cobol but said he did). He managed to bluff his way through the job until the company went bankrupt 6 months later!
My suggestion to you is to find out if there is a genetic cause.

Reading your symptoms, my hunch (nothing more) is, that there might be something wrong with your sleep control circuitry. I suppose narcolepsy has been ruled out, but you might still try a drug called Provigil.

To be more concrete, wait until whole genome sequencing has come down in price to where you can afford it (give it a year or two), and then have that done.
There is a possibility that you have a very rare mutation causing your symptoms.

Granted it's a very long shot, but the thing that came to my mind.

Good luck!
Woah, hostility.

> Who financed the authors previously?

I was referring to the wide world of midlist authors who make a living writing books, but don't get filthy rich, and who couldn't get by without advances from publishers.

Advertisements was just an idea for a possible revenue stream in a future where people are no longer willing to purchase books.
That's assuming it's sudden death. It sounds like the rule goes into effect at the end of regulation. That would make it so that the team that goes up by six would be encouraged to then take the ball back and score on themselves to make the score 6-1 and therefore keep the victory.
