>you are wasting electrical power hauling around a gas engine and gas tank

The Volt weighs much less than the Tesla. The reality is that battery tech is expensive, heavy, and delicate so hybrids still make sense. A near empty gas tank weighs nothing and a near empty battery weighs the same as a full one. This stuff gets a bit more complex as you look into how it really works. Not to mention the Volt comes in at pricing that's half or even 1/3rd the price Tesla, depending on packages/trim.

The Volt is a great concept and the next logical step in hybrid technology. It leans more on the battery powered aspect, than say, the Prius, which is still primarily powered by gas. We're just not at the point where a full electric is in the cards for most people.
Just google "github open code of conduct" should provide a decent overview.

My personal experience with store clerks over the decades indicates severely rose colored glasses over the idealized concept of store clerks coincidentally being extremely highly educated in my momentary topic of interest.

Most of the time, store clerks have been experts at shoveling product on shelves, making change, and telling me all about their art history degree while I'm trying to find a gift for my son who likes minecraft. Insert the stereotypical Radio Shack experience of trying to locate an over priced adapter that the clerk can't help find while being grilled about my cell phone plan as opposed to their cell phone plan. I'm sure there have occasionally existed useful store clerks and customers who somehow know less than the clerks, but it seems to have been statistically very rare.

A quarter century ago as a part time student at a food store just to pick up beer money, it was comical watching customers ask me and my coworkers cooking questions. "Well, I'm not really sure how to cook that, but I've watched my mom and she usually bakes roasts for a long time in the oven". "Sorry I don't know anything about frozen chitlins". "I've never made jello, but I think there are instructions on the box". Underemployment and economic conditions were not quite as severe back then, now a days food stores probably have out of work trained chefs as employees.
Thanks!

Practice interviews on Pramp are bi-directional. Every user is both an interviewee and an interviewer on each interview. We oversee the process by matching between likeminded peers with similar skills, background and abilities and by providing prep material before interviews.

We're not a fit for beginners yet, as our interview questions take solid understanding of CS & coding just like real technical interview at tech companies. However, we plan to add this later.
My experience with organizing files taught me not to consider the user home directory as owned by the user. The home directory is littered with lots of files that most software store there so my user data goes into its own subfolder.

Then I sort my files in directories with an unsual scheme, first directory is the importance of the files to me:

/buffer a space for file copies as I work on them and temporary files
/collect for new files
/datalibrary, /databank, /datastore, /datakeep are to separate data according to its importance to me for example the keep is a smaller size, encrypted and automatically backed up every day.

The second level of directories is the action related to the data, for example /listen will receive audio files, /watch video files, /look for pictures. other examples include /archive, /customize, /play, /install

Then depending on the content there is a sorting scheme where I either sort by genre, by theme, by name,…
for example pictures, if a picture is worth keeping it could go in /by_genre/hispeed or /by_genre/tilt-shift, or in /by_theme/futurama or /by_theme/space, or /by_name/choi xoo ang

Now that I learned of TMSU, tagsistant and the like, I'm gonna try to make use of those.
Apparently we'd be without scorpion antivenin!

The mailing of scorpions is limited by the restrictions in 18 U.S.C. 1716. Under this limitation, scorpions are mailable only when sent for the purposes of medical research use or the manufacture of antivenin.
I own a 2015 Chevy volt. When running on gas, the mileage is ok, but far surpassed by most anything hybrid. When running on electric, I calculate the mileage by electrical charge price vs the gas price and end up getting 120-150 mpg equivalent. Since mostly we drive around the city/suburbs, we only use the gas engine for airport runs or long trips. Sure I could have an all electric car (and I do) but it would get annoying having to rent a car whenever I wanted to go to another city.

EDIT: The only way the volt makes sense is if you can charge it daily and drive mostly on full electric, and still need to periodically take road trips.
Seems to me like it captures whether you are liked even more than previous bullshit performance evaluations BS
This is so sad. I like Flash for several reasons and just few days ago I heard that Adobe is trying to get its potatoes together and that they're working on security patches hard. Oh well...

If the in-memory DB has the same feature set as the real DB, using the in-memory DB for tests should be a single flip you switch, while writing code to generate fake result sets for every tests requires writing all of that code. 90% of the benefits for 1% of the cost.

GitLab.com is indeed running GitLab Enterprise Edition. The reason is that we want easy access to performance data for running enterprise features at scale. You can run a GitLab.com SaaS with GitLab CE without any problems. There are many organizations running GitLab CE with thousands of developers. Is there any feature of which you think it is unjust that it is on GitLab.com but not in GitLab CE?
If only coal is considered, it doesn't look good.

My math may be way off, but:

coal:
1,933,130,000,000 kwh/yr
plants: 518
kwh/plant: 373,191,120
tons/plant: 4,000,000
ton/kwh : 0.01
37.4% of electricity in US

nat. gas:
.0005675 ton/kwh
30.3% of electricity in US

tesla S:
.3kwh/mi

Coal only: .003 ton/mi
Gas only: .00017 ton/mi
Coal + Gas + Renewables: 0.0012 ton/mi

avg ICE:
12,000 mi/yr
5.1 ton/yr
0.000425 ton / mi

As we move away from coal and towards renewables, it's obvious that electric cars become the winners. In areas with mostly coal power production, though, ICEs are more environmentally friendly.

It's really telling how freaking dirty coal is.

I thought this was old news. I've been using the Gitlab repo for weeks now.
Is is stupid and that's why I wanted to explore the broader demeaning stereotype issue. By looking at the broader issue, we have the chance to avoid some of our triggers that the gender stereotype in tech sensitizes and have an actual discussion that gives us insights into the specific issues we need to solve, because, stupid as they are, they are real.

The Big Three have changed significantly within the past ten years. GM had a huge culture change and went from producing pretty terrible vehicles to making pretty nice ones. Look at Cadillacs and the new Camaros. Chrysler is now owned by Fiat, who is very, very motivated to make it in the American market. Can't say much about Ford, though. Never owned one, so I don't read up on them. But I have high hopes for cars like the Volt. GM really wants the car to do well.
Until engineering decides to do something about it, engineering will always be subordinate to management.

There are no true parallel career paths.

You nailed it. That is all. If we want respect, we have to fucking earn it by forcing businessmen to see us as equals, whatever the effort and cost.

For those who didn't get it - mjd is the author of the blog post linked to. Although he's also right that it's a stupid comment that deserves downvotes :)
I feel this sentiment as well. However as I understand it since there isn't an existing license that covers this need the author's approach is current best practice. Practicality over ideology.
I have lots of desire to draw graphics with code, but SVG still fits that quite well.

As for the author's point that he needed to animate the logo ... SVG2 works on unifying CSS and SVG animation. Currently the options are either SMIL (which won't work in IE) or JS (which may have other unpleasant properties).

Interestingly, most things coming from CSS (not just animation) are quite inferior to what SVG already provided. That's there will be unification is mostly a concession to the fact that things haven't been implemented by browser vendors historically and users seem to like CSS solutions better than SVG these days.
I'll buck against this advice any day. I've never used SQLite for mocking but I've used HSQLDB for functional tests of an extensive ORM-derived DAOs that talked to Oracle in production in the past. It was pretty flawless. I.e. when running in Oracle emulation mode HSQLDB was pretty close to the real thing for our purposes. For a few tiny differences we had automatic script that would convert from Oracle schema creation file to HSQLDB "Oracle" schema creation file any time changes to the real schema were introduced.
and how much does the OP weigh?
It could have taken place weeks ago. I got a Google Alert with the repo this morning and decided to tweet it https://twitter.com/gitlab/status/628546834013810688 I think that is what lead someone to post it to HN

I clicked on this talk only to then realize, "Wait, that looks familiar". Yeah. I was at this talk when it was given. Whoops.
I thought the same before reading this, however I have seen alot of legitimate radio stations that run contests use Twitter for the "share to win" concept - far more than I have seen them try to do it through Facebook or Instagram. Based solely on my own observations and experience, I suspect that the vast majority of contests you see on IG/FB are not legitimate, but at least some of those on Twitter are.

It's funny that this came up. Just the other day I heard them running a "text us to win" contest on the radio while driving and I thought I should create an app that enables find-and-share capabilities for text-to-win contests.
I have seen it before and it is pretty amazing. My comment was mostly in context of the 2003 message. People are finding more and more clever ways of handling this all the time. Par(at least monad-par on hackage) seems to have come around 2011.

Really multi-core machines have only been standard for about 10 years now? Before then, multi-processor machines filled more niche roles (Servers, HPC, etc). Now my phone has 4 cores. Parallel computing is becoming more common because all of the code you write will run on a multi-core system.

I definitely see how writing multi-threaded code in a lisp in 2003 would have been less savory. Things are definitely better now. Things like Par & Repa can do some amazing things in Haskell. I'm sure there are more some great packages out for scheme that are similar . I don't think we're 100% there yet. Who knows where we'll be in another 10 years?

That's the gas only mpg, which is a near useless metric for a plug-in hybrid. In my use-case I would almost never burn gas in a Volt. The 2016 Volt gets 53 miles on battery alone. That's what I drive during the entire work week. Considering you would plug this thing in at night, typical buyers would almost never be using the gas engine.

Not just that, GitHub's new Code of Conduct is pretty sketchy (e.g. racism is against the CoC but "reverse" racism isn't). The exact quote is:

"We will not act on complaints regarding ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’" which is stupid and not really a thing. It's not reverse racism, its just racism.

Also, GitHub has been removing other projects, like some Gamergate ones (like this markdown only repo: http://imgur.com/a/CMRVq). Regardless of your opinion on Gamergate, the repos weren't violating the ToS and shouldn't have been removed.
SSL is provided. This isn't a typical CDN. This is a way for people who don't want to setup a CDN or deal with the cost to upload their files and receive the markup to use on their site. So custom domains wouldn't be a feature we'd offer in the near future, but always something to consider.
8 Reasons Why Texting Is Crucial to Business Communication
The open code of conduct they have adopted.

https://github.com/blog/2039-adopting-the-open-code-of-condu...

http://todogroup.org/opencodeofconduct/

>Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop

>Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

>Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and technical ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of the protected characteristics above, including participants with disabilities.

That's actually a plus. OSes have good isolation for processes, and good performance fixes (shared read-only pages) on top of that. Browser developers implementing sandboxing is not exactly the best use of their time and expertise.

The problem is that instead of the browser streaming user interaction events to the Flash (or any NPAPI plugin) process and asking for a render from time to time, the plugin window is overlaid on the browser, and waits patiently for events streaming down from the mighty plugin.

The assertion is that "social sciences are statistical and rigorous, too. The objects measured are fuzzier, not the science practiced."

Your observation on constructivism is not in disagreement with that statement.

For an example from medicine, which is also fuzzy, and quoting from http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menopause/in-d... :

> Hormone replacement therapy — medications containing female hormones to replace the ones the body no longer makes after menopause — used to be a standard treatment for women with hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. Hormone therapy (as it's now called) was also thought to have the long-term benefits of preventing heart disease and possibly dementia.

> Use of hormone therapy changed abruptly when a large clinical trial found that the treatment actually posed more health risks than benefits for one type of hormone therapy, particularly when given to older postmenopausal women. As the concern about health hazards attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors became less likely to prescribe it.

with http://www.webmd.com/menopause/features/hormone-replacement-... saying "And now, a number of recent studies show that hormone replacement therapy may have protective benefits for women who are early in menopause."

Another example might be ulcers, which a few decades ago were believed to be caused by diet and lifestyle, rather than H. pylori. A third might be the relatively recent work of Ioannidis titled "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False".

You write "For every sociologist, there's an equal and opposite sociologist."

On the topic of education, my understanding is that a large majority of sociologists believe that "socioeconomic status [is] a strong predictor of children’s educational and social outcomes" (quote from http://cepa.stanford.edu/iies2012 ). This view derives originally from the Coleman Report in the 1960s and hasn't appreciably changed over the decades.

If your statement is correct, then there should be a large number of sociologists in education who believe that socioeconomic status is at best a weak predictor. Where are these sociologists?

This link has already been posted, but I think it deserves some discussion around the subject of unions.

https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/programmers-...

A union doesn't necessarily seem suited for software development. As people have already explained in much better details than I'd manage, a union aims to help all, but exceptional programmers would be limited by trying to keep everyone to the same level. Some of us would get a pay rise, but many more of us would see a significant drop in salaries, and that's not really fair to those that can justify that kind of salary.

Turning Software Development into a chartered profession seems like a no brainer to me, and I'd be interested in opinions as to why this hasn't happened already. In my mind, one reason is obvious, and that's the fact that hardly anyone seems to know the best way to do anything. More often than not, there's a huge difference in how one company and one stack will do something compared to another. Hell, two groups could write entirely different code based on something ultimately trivial, like their choice of CMS. Any professional body would need to be tech agnostic while also being able to set a high standard for anyone in professional development.

In all honesty, I think most software developers write code for absolute peanuts when you consider how vital the code is to the running of a business. I imagine that becoming a chartered profession would go much further than a union towards ensuring that software developers are protected in not just pay, but ensuring that they are fully able to write the best code they can.
