Personally, it's much easier for me to be invested in a task when what I'm doing is 'interesting' to me.

Almost always and ironically, when something's interesting to me it's usually more difficult work and thus, contains far more unknowns, hence making estimates that much less reliable.

This is why the pat answer of "capital is rewarded for taking risk, that justifies their pay" doesn't ring true to me. Your downside is... still being rich and never, ever having to work if you don't want to? Hot damn, give me some of that risk!
I'd venture this guess: because programming is presented everywhere as something easy, with a ton of "hello world" tutorials which don't even begin to scratch the surface. "Everyone can do it" is thrown left and right. Man are they in for a surprise, when they are introduced to tons of poorly written legacy code used by, say, critical medical systems. Think spaghetti code and text-file interfaces with dozens of systems but on a whole new level, likes of which is hard to even imagine.

Damn right, programming is hard, and it is getting harder with every line of code people write.

Note: in this example, I bunched programming with maintaining together. If you only write code for new features without taking into account existing or legacy code, you're a lucky son of a gun.
please, this is getting old. Haskell is one of those languages for people who want to show off how clever they are instead of just getting on with developing applications that actually do useful things efficiently.
Whenever I bring up the Apple Watch the conversation usually gets derailed with the other person insisting it's called the iWatch. I usually just give in so we can actually talk about the watch :)

Microprocessors: A Programmers View (Computing That Works) : This is an older book and had fascinating explanations about how CISC (i386) processors worked and a comparison against RISC type processors and the implications for programmers. This book has fascinating historical info and if I recall correctly had a great amount of humor regarding the development of the various types of processors. Out of date now though and hard to get I think. An Amazon link if someone's interested: http://www.amazon.com/Microprocessors-Programmers-View-Compu...
A warrant issued by a judge is due process.

Edit: I'm not saying it's fair, just that it's allowed by the constitution.
I recognize that these are important qualities in certain environments (such as a startup). Similarly, with limited resources we may also find ourselves skimping on the engineering end as well. However, I was simply responding to the original comment which was:

If you don't know CSS, you're not a web designer and have no business building websites to begin with. You can't design properly for a medium which has limitations you don't understand.

My response to this was simply that no, you can be a fantastic web designer without knowing CSS, and perhaps even better. Maybe your skills would not translate well in certain environments, but to go from that to criticizing said designer and saying he has no place on the web is frivolous.
Genius.

It's not the fact that you tried that's important. It's that if you try, you have at least some chance of success; if you don't try, then failure is implied.
Ah, but I'm not. I'm distinguishing between a purchase and a limited license.

I used the analogy of the car because we're familiar with it - we all understand you can buy a car, and also that you can rent one on a temporary basis. The kind of transactions you can perform on an object are not a function of the object itself.

So with software (or a movie or book etc. etc.) I could sell you all the rights: not just to use/watch/read it as a consumer, but to exploit it for commercial gain as a publisher. This is like the purchase of a car; you can do whatever you want with the property you now own. Or I could just grant you a limited license, reserving other rights for myself, as with the rental situation. This is what happens now when you 'buy' a piece of software or media - you're really buying the rights to a single copy of it. You can still do whatever you want with that single copy, but as soon as you start making your own copies - even if you're giving them away for free, or simply making them available via bittorrent - then you've gone into the publishing business. Now I don't necessarily approve of this approach, but that's how things are. You're getting into a contract with a publisher when you buy their wares, just as surely as if you had rented a car. That it's trivially easy to circumvent the terms of that contract doesn't alter the fact that you're a party to it.

Look at it this way: suppose you owned a printing company, and you happen to have all the technology you need to make books of any kind. And let's say you can also easily get them into bookstores. You get a hardback copy of Harry Potter's Secret Diary, a supplement to the popular series of books that is sure to sell millions. Since you have a book-style printing press on hand, you spend a busy week making plates and then rush out a paperback edition, on which you make a handsome profit. You've used your own paper, ink etc., so the original publisher is no worse off and hasn't lost a single copy of their stock.

Is this cool?
If an "important" ISP starts blocking outbound port 53, then people will just do their DNS lookups over HTTPS or whatever. This is irrelevant today because nobody is censoring DNS yet. Combine documented DNS censorship with documented blocking-of-port-53, and the problem will be fixed in hours.

(Funny story; my work laptop has some software installed that only allows ssh connections to be made when connected to the VPN. But when connected to the VPN, there are no routes to the Internet, so I can't check my email while traveling with my work laptop. Change my sshd to bind port 443 in addition to 22, though, and ... the restriction is gone.

Censoring the Internet is hard, even when you control the network or client machine!)
You can still buy 4:3 monitors. I have a 27" center monitor with a 19" monitor on each side. I love it. Unfortunately, though, 1600x1200 monitors are pretty pricey for the size.
They have very loose controls at shopify - no ISMS, no standard key controls - bluntly, it’s a miracle they haven’t had much worse happen yet. They’re not even ISO27001 compliant or certified.
They break everything down into subcategories, rather than just providing an entry for "exempt all circumventions that are pursued exclusively to allow fair uses (or otherwise legal copying)."

Petition number one, for example, from Eldridge Alexander, asked for this:
http://copyright.gov/1201/2014/petitions/Alexander_Eldridge_...

The Copyright office's NPRM claims that it can only exempt narrow classes of works, rather than "all works in all media."

http://copyright.gov/fedreg/2014/79fr73856.pdf

They claim, "Sorry, we'd love to exempt all legal uses, but our hands are tied here... just look at all this legislative history..."

Let's set aside the dismissive straw man that these requests as asking for exemption to everything. Let's set aside the whether legislative history should be considered binding on a regulatory agency. I'm most frustrated that, once given a list of over twenty narrow classes of technologies, often raising fair use considerations, they proceed to exempt maybe three or six and ignore the rest.

According to Sec. 1201, the Librarian shall publish any class of copyrighted works for which the Librarian has determined, pursuant to the rulemaking conducted under subparagraph (C), that noninfringing uses by persons who are users of a copyrighted work are, or are likely to be, adversely affected.

Sec. 1201, correctly applied, should ensure that ALL noninfringing uses are protected.
I can't imagine websites doing anything but dropping screen reader users into a separate experience; rather than doing the work to design for accessibility in all their experiences and auditing and testing to confirm.

Separate, but equal isn't equal.
I saw a 1 minute clip of him talking where he spent 50 seconds fueling the fire with "we won this landslide election and it was stolen from us there was no way we lost Georgia" and ten seconds of "but go home and be peaceful"
>when he literally incited the mob to attack?

I said "incited a mob to literally attack." He went up on stage, told them the presidency was being stolen, and urged them to march to the Capitol.

They then marched to the Capitol and literally attacked.
How are these different from multiplexed vim setups?
The ones in the sidebar are based on global patterns to that specific video.

The homepage ones should show you subscriptions videos but also based on the last keywords/videos watched.

I don't see the value in using 2012-2019 videos watched when your recent ones speak more to what you currently are interested in.
Nr.1 reason is that you need a open ISA in order to have an open processor. Therefore you can only have proper OpenHardware movement with an open processor.

The RISC-V foundation was only created in 2015 before that it was basically a research project so saying anything RISC-V related is 'always' 5 years away is a strange statement.

And I also don't know where you get 'good enough', RISC-V is not a processor, its and ISA and we know that ISA have relatively little impact implementation speeds. We already have RISC-V processors at the same node as ARM processors that beat them in many criteria.
This reminds me of the article that takes an old spy plane lens (Kodak Aero Ektar 7″ f/2.5) and mounts it on a large format film camera [0].

The photographer in the video say it is a projector lens. He could be wrong, but it is what he claims.
you can parse it as 'I have been to Russia' => integer representing the number of times you've been to Russia.

with the original boolean meaning being a special case, and this being a context-dependent generalization to be inferred by the listener.

this kind of sentence would kinda make sense (in the sense of being informative to the reader and not just a tautological statement) if you, for example are a researcher who have access to a native island where most people are forbidden from entering and have been there multiple times since you were given an exemption from the rule.

here is a list of islands you probably wont have access to:

Anyone got a cache of this? Site seems to be getting hammered.
So... who wants to take a crack at why this would be?
This includes program verification, there's some fascinating work about combining Prolog w/ Smalltalk to:

* check whether a piece of source code matches a certain pattern
* find all pieces of source code that match a pattern
* search for all occurrences of a given pattern that were
used to program a piece of source code
* detect violations of the usage of a pattern
* enforce the consistent use of some pattern throughout a program
* generate code that matches a certain pattern

Unfortunately, there's a body warm-up, too. Your spine is particularly vulnerable to injury right after you get out of bed because fluid accumulates in the discs overnight. As far as I know, running is fine for people with no existing back injuries, but anything that loads or rotates your spine is iffy. You're 90% back to normal an hour after getting up, though, so if you can find something to do in the meantime without falling asleep again, you're golden.
Would be funnier if it wasn't so true in a lot of areas (mobile phone operators spring to mind. I don't know how it is in other parts of the world, but in the places I've lived in Europe, most operators have different pricing depending on time of day, day of week and the operator of the person you're calling(!))
I like how the web makes this kind of thing harder...
I use Live Mesh and this happened to me once but every time it syncs, it moves the "old" file to the recycle bin... It just doesn't deletes it! I have to manually delete it, so if shit happens, I can always just look in the recycle bin. Did you search there? =\
I'm an experienced Java developer, but a bit of a novice when it comes to webapps on Java. I've tried Java EE, Spring, Hibernate, etc and hated all of them with a passion. For writing simple apps it was a mountain of configuration and framework.

I've got to agree that Play is a breath of fresh air. It doesn't hide/automate as much as RoR, which I appreciate. It's really easy to get going with and it's made writing web apps feel quite natural.
> We just need to stop to produce "replacement" animals for the eaten ones. Simple as that.

This brings up the second question, whenever I hear "we just" or "simply" or some other similar keywords, it often involves a wholesale change in the mindset of all of humanity to accomplish whatever is being posited.

(not to mention that many people would probably consider the forced sterilization of billions of animals inhumane and immoral)
Have you seen the statistics in the TF2 Lobby matchmaking system? http://tf2lobby.com
It's probably more the quality of OpenOffice vs MS Office (and other desktop apps) rather than Ubuntu vs Windows per se.
with the kids in the private schools

I have observed this is both private and public schools.
The idea behind conscription is not to have an "army of slaves" but to make sure that if you are ever required to muster citizens for your defense, then those citizens will have had at least basic military training and be useful for roles other than bullet magnets.
Um, no.

If you are certified as combat-capable, and you are placed with a combat unit, you must go. If you refuse, you go to army jail. Army jail time does not count as service time, so when you get out of army jail, you still have a term of service to complete.
I would leave WhatsApp if there was a way to send an auto reply message to anyone messaging me telling them where I'm available at.

Actually maybe I can put it in my bio and keep the account floating ? Hmm
Moreover, I think this is also the first unicorn ever in post-communist Romania. Tells much about the advantages of a free market over a planned one.
I'm interested in understanding the real basis for the underlying cause (and spoiler, I don't think the thinly-veneered idea that planning is too regulated is the answer)

What's weird is that this article says basically "I assumed it's because there is too much regulation but actually it turns out there is less than all these richer countries! Guess there's not any point in exploring that any further."
Point them at the fiasco where NASA mixed up Imperia and Metric.

And also ask but why are we not targeting international customers.
> literally many thousands of people on WSB were insisting it would go to $1000.

Yes, and nobody knows what would've happened if there was no dubious buying restriction from brokers. With the strong momentum of the stock price on that day, 1000$ was not unrealistic.

> Imagine 15 years ago pumping up Blockbuster stock to 20x what it was worth.

The famous VW short squeeze happened 13 years ago and made VW the biggest company in the world for a short period of time.
> Bitcoin has no inherent value, it is a string of characters.

So is any digital "good". If you value things that way, nothing on the computer is valuable.

> At least with gold, you can hire artists to create amazing interior design works of art.

Gold's primary value is from it's rarity. Very few cultures value gold for it's artistic attributes, India being the primary one. How often do you see someone wear gold jewelry in western countries?

> BTC Will work as a store of value so long as there are a stream of other people who also believe it is a store of value.

True for anything that is considered rare. The moment people deem it's not good enough or rare enough, it becomes useless. Paintings by famous artists are expensive purely because a certain group of people place high value on them. Otherwise it's just old paint on a canvas.

> If everyone tries to exit on the same week or month the value goes to zero.

If everyone goes to a bank at the same time and try to withdraw, there's no way any bank has the liquidity to be able to process this. Historically countries have placed withdrawal limits to curb this during mania.

> Large banking institutes who purchased billions of dollars in bitcoin will be incentivized to simply hold, or else they would have to admit to their shareholders they paid billions of dollars for a string of characters.

They are incentivized because the value keeps doing up due to it's fixed supply. If I gave you a rock, and I told you every year it's going to go up in value, wouldn't you be incentivized to hold it?

> One event that would be a ‘black swan’ for bitcoin would be a North Korean hack on coinbase. If you disrupt trust in a mainstream bitcoin bank, people would flee.

Yea, that would be disastrous. Unfortunately there's no way to recover stolen bitcoins, and due to it's inherently virtual nature, it makes it extremely susceptible to hacking. From everything you've mentioned this is the only real criticism, and I'm not sure we should let a fear of a black swan event drive us away from a potentially revolutionary financial system.
That’s not really relevant, though. Knowing that someone in a random part of the world has it worse is cold comfort when you have to chose between heating and eating, or when you are freezing to death on a street.
Well. Objective-C isn't that simple to begin with, but when you are used to it, it really provides elegant and very simple solutions to medium complex stuff like key-value observing and coding. Meditated together they are called bindings, where your ui is key value coded, and your model is key value observed. Yes, Objective-C (and Cocoa) are very strong on design patterns, which gives you a whole lot of leverage. It works and is debugable too! :) I love it, and find it to be the most hot-dirty-sexy language I have ever used.
Actually, integrate this with some kind of consumer-grade portable EEG to monitor progress and I'll be the first person to give you my money.
Look, it's great when the person in charge of deciding policies is the same person doing the work, and the same in charge of selling it to whoever must be convinced. But most people work on different environments (yep, even when they own the company), and communicating, even things that appear obvious to one of the parties, is crucial to make right decisions on those other environments.

For example, if you are looking into hiring a designer, if you didn't read the article and makes the obvious decision of asking a wireframe from the biders, you just alienated everybody that could make your site great. That this is obvious for the alienated designers changes absolutely nothing.
Density also matters if you're trying to avoid sprawl. A city like Houston basically requires you to own a car and drive everywhere, because public transit will never be able to keep up with the construction nor will the density be high enough to make it economically viable.
No, the picture (and name) of Drew Houston (not to mention the Dropbox logo). Click on "get your report" to see it.
I am reminded of the occasion back in 1986 when I wrote a piece for a technology magazine where I described networking standards as an 'alphabeti-spaghetti'. I received a warning letter from Heinz' lawyers a few weeks after publication.
I like this, as I do anything that fights the flood of stress and insanity that is a lot of (at least my) daily life. Business-wise, I could see this being a gateway drug for selling meditation accessories, but it'd be hard to sell the sessions themselves. Advertising would be a no go, as putting it anywhere you'd make money on it would negatively impact the product itself.
It's also a social signal for social animals: "We are doing well, we have ample necessities, you should be with our group."
What I mean is, when they regenerated the HTTP cookie from other sources, they generated the exact same cookie, so you could tell.

If they change it to say `encrypt(tracking number + nonce)`, then it will be effectively the same cookie, but you wont be able to tell from the client perspective.
It appears the report measures wealth rather than income. One can have negative wealth if the value of one's debt is greater than one's assets. A corollary is: If debt is eliminated, a lot of inequality goes out the window too - since one man's debt is another's asset, and the poorest have more debt than everyone else.
You probably want to look at setitimer.
