No. Not at all.

Let me explain. I see two groups of bootstrap users:

1. Those that use the framework for JavaScript tooling. Things like dropdowns, hamburger menus, tooltips, etc. They typically don't use any of the prepackaged bootstrap styling. This was me for a long time.

2. Those that use the framework for both aesthetic specific CSS and JavaScript.

Angular helps Group 1 rid themselves of bootstrap. Group 2 is largely helpless.
I am considering it flawed in that we shouldn't have these drops, or gains,...this volatility, like we have today. The high frequency trading, the quarterly outlook, the amount of emotion, etc in the market is flawed.

The average person should not have to worry about the market... ever. It shouldn't be the massive, speculative thing that it is today. Short term trading, as it is, needs to stop. Business does not work like that and their stock prices should not either.

This is a very surface level explanation, I could write a paper and go on forever. To sum it up, we shouldn't have huge corrections because we shouldn't have 'cheer-leader'ed it up in the first place.
This news is another nail in the coffin. The pattern I can see among my peers and my small market is that people are more and more uneasy with using the web for sharing valuable info and data, both on public and private networks. They prefer face-to-face meetings and paper docs. Food for thought and some ground for new startups maybe.
Thanks! It looks good, I especially like the idea of notifications / alerts, would work well for us as we have multiple screens for different departments. We can finally bug the marketing guys to make us coffee!!
>100+ % debt:GDP ration is not healthy

By itself, there's no reason it's unhealthy if it's spent on solid investments in the country. After WWII when it was last way above 100%, the composition of that spending had a much better effect on the country. Now? What's the nature of the current debt? I'd agree that it's not so wisely spent.

I'm completely unfamiliar with this stuff, but from the article:

"In risk individuals, a thymine (T) is replaced by a cytosine (C) nucleobase, which disrupts repression of the control region and turns on IRX3 and IRX5. This then turns off thermogenesis, leading to lipid accumulation and ultimately obesity... Switching the C to a T in risk individuals turned off IRX3 and IRX5, restored thermogenesis to non-risk levels, and switched off lipid storage genes."

So yes, CC is taken to mean "risk" and CT is likewise "non-risk".

As always, one finding doesn't indicate ultimate truth, so take this all with a grain of salt (or not, depending on what 23andMe has to say about your sodium intake).
Our industry is already so awful for women. Now, based on no evidence at all, McAfeee is singling out the only woman who worked there. His evidence is that every American English speaker knows only a woman would call men "scumbags." There's no other way to put it than to say this is false.

He also says that getting source code is hard, and that stock options data would only be accessible to an insider because it would only be on two desktops. The whole piece has so many guesses and assumptions, it is just depressing they're being used to target the lone woman.

Basically if this is truly something ugly for the US economy and not just a temporary correction, which it doesn't seem to be.. yet.. based on my personal experience circa 2008 as a web developer, here's what I saw from my perspective -

First, older businesses, who have survived other crashes, start tightening their budgets ASAP, pulling back on expensive tech investments. So there's a contraction in big outsourced tech projects with bigger businesses that can start within weeks. If you have big things planned with these guys, close the deal right.now.

Then, many startups who have been too reliant on investor capital for survival get into a pickle when investors stop being as generous dishing out venture and angel rounds. Any company dependent on raising a round of financing in the next 6 months is in a tough place. If you work for any of these guys, polish your resume.

So you start to see layoffs at big consulting firms, then startups start to fail when funds get antsy. This puts a lot of engineering talent on the market, first at job interviews and later for freelance after they've been on the market for a few months. Increased supply means lower salaries and freelance rates. Last time around the big tech cos like Google and Facebook went on a feeding frenzy and drove the supply down, and the mobile thing happened. So salaries bounced back and then went bezerk

I have a feeling if this is another big one, this time around there will be less feeding frenzy and more pruning - the tech giants can use this as an excuse to lay off engineers hired on inflated salaries and not performing. The mobile bubble popped already, and the current bubble is in AI and big data which needs more more specialized brainpower and probably won't pick up a lot of the supply

We also have tons of very junior developers swamping the market with training from coding bootcamps right now. So at the low end of the developer spectrum there's potentially a huge surplus. If things get sour in the market this will be a very tough time for an entry level developer, a pay cut for a mid level developer, and a minor worry for a good developer. For companies with healthy cash reserves, it's a big win though..

> if you don't want to get a kidney stone (and believe me, you don't)

To put some perspective on that, I recently had one and it was the worst pain in my life. I asked some women who have had both a stone and a natural childbirth which was worse, and they said the pain is about the same.

The difference is that at least you know +/- about a month when you're going to have a child and can prepare; with the stone, you're just suddenly in excruciating pain.
Pure clickbait, he doesn't know anything.
I would say busting anyone's balls over that one is genuine. Especially because it sounds like their competition in hiring doesn't do that.
While I agree in terms of casual use, it is important to note that for a power user, nothing can hold a candle to Microsoft Office. I speak primarily from experience in Excel, but I am sure there are points to be made across the suite.

Excel as a business analyst's tool is far beyond any competitors. Especially since 2010, with the Power Pivot add-on, you get a seamless promotion path from analyst's desktop to a fully integrated BI solution across the enterprise.

I know I might sound a bit fanboyish above, and I'll acknowledge that I speak from my position as a BI consultant for a Microsoft partner. This being said, I'm also in a position where I have seen that transition where an analyst's local Power Pivot workbook becomes the basis for an enterprise reporting solution using SSAS and Power BI + SSRS many times.
Practically every system I've built at scale uses soft-deletes. A flag is put into the database and records that are deleted are excluded via that flag.

Note that I'm not playing with people's identities, but even then, you have to ask whether they were paying to delete the availability of their user data or the actual database records (somewhere in the contract?).
And what info are they giving to Google?

edited to add -

The most telling was a statement calling men "scumbags" (for those readers that don't speak American/Canadian English, this is a word that only a woman would ever use to describe men).

And I've seen him with girls of the night,

In a separate section, the perpetrator describes men as cheating dirtbags. I think in any language this would suggest that a woman is speaking.

Saudi can just borrow money to help ride things out, their debt-to-GDP is incredibly low (like 3%). That got up to 100% in the early 90s, IIRC, when government revenues had been hurt by a protracted period of lower oil prices.
"Crash-only" means that a subsystem should bug out early when it detects a problem rather than soldiering on and potentially making things worse. The bugging out itself notifies a monitor process which can make a decision on how to recover. The crash-only paradigm was popularized by Erlang, which was created to drive highly reliable pieces of telecom equipment. So it's not entirely without merit.
It's definitely the worst on this list but my company's is even worse (scored sub-20 on the same survey but not a publicly traded company):

- Must be an employee for 1 calendar year before you can enroll. Only two open enrollment periods so potentially up to 18 months from hire before you can contribute.
- 50% match on first 2%
- Match is not distributed until end of Q2 the following calendar year. So this year's match will not hit my account until Jul/Aug 2016. This also has the nice secondary effect of making every September hell because nobody quits between January and August.
- 100% vesting after 3 years, no vesting prior
- Surprisingly, a nice selection of low-fee funds including Vanguard

If the pay here wasn't 30% above market for the area the 401(k) alone would have forced me to decline the offer.
Probably not: most of these companies have user agreements drafted by actual lawyers, and those agreements are binding.

In any case: when I say that Avid Life is nowhere near the bottom quartile for companies when it comes to security, you can take that to the bank. Or, don't, if you're worried about taking things to places that won't lose your data in a breach. I guess you can take your data to Facebook in that case.
I think you missed a couple words there:

* middle class
* structured

The children of public school teachers don't go into debt to spend five (or six!) figures on all-inclusive ski tour packages (complete with certificate!) as part of a pursuit for abstract self-betterment.

Also, if it were all for self-betterment, why have degrees at all? Why not just take classes that seemed worthwhile? Why have grades for that matter?
moron4hire might also have been referring to stock options, which are pretty meh for an established company. I worked for Yahoo a few years ago and when I started, they kept trying to sell me on how amazing the stock package was. The pay was good. The RSUs were okay. The options were nearly worthless. I don't recall exactly how much the options ended up worth at the end, but it was in the ballpark of a dollar per share.
But now you've got the added tax implications of having to sell stock right when you get it.

> but it's downright foolish to pretend that we are gaining weight for any other reason than that we are eating too much and exercising too little.

Right, that's pretty obvious to most observers, but it's not the end of the road. The interesting question is why this is happening. Is the cause purely social (perhaps we're lazier, or perhaps large portion sizes occur purely by normalisation over time), or are there other changes to our society or what we eat that make over-eating and under-exercising more common?

As you near retirement, you shift your asset allocation to be more conservative (more bonds, less equity). You don't need all of your retirement funds the day you turn 65.

Unless you're able to make huge contributions, a savings account is unlikely to provide the funds you need for retirement.
This right here. You either have useful work experience or a portfolio of your work, or i'm trashing your resume.

It's also amazing how many CS majors waste their 3-4 years addicted to video games (LOL seems to be the big one right now). Those 1000's of hours are better spent building that portfolio that will net you $100k day 1 out of your degree.

Video game addiction is serious. Google for solutions, it can be fixed. It does not improve your resume to mention your lol rank.

It vests on a sliding schedule and they don't pay a dividend, so you only make money on it when you sell. You're technically never fully vested in all of the stock they give you, because they would make your yearly bonus in stock-options rather than cash.
There's a list of domains that came up in a previous discussion on HN (sorry, I don't recall it right away), and was also trending on pastebin.com, which contained all of the known domains Microsoft was using to report back from the OS.

That's a good question, and an aspect that I didn't consider. I'd be interested in hearing the answer if you find it.
They certainly do appeal, but are likely a little outside my expertise to go implement, at least right now. Definitely something I'll look into, time permitting!

I was aiming more for "simpler" to start with I think.
Windows is pretty good even on minimal resources these days. Microsoft could cut a lot of legacy stuff out though for a Chromebook-like experience.

I love the idea of a Chromebook. A somewhat limited laptop that looks after itself in terms of updates. My big issue with Chromebooks are that they are limited to only running Chrome web apps unless you root it but then you turn it into a "normal" laptop.

Once the Windows app eco-system improves I could see a WindowsRT like version doing well. Strip out all the Win32 stuff all apps come in via the Windows Store with the option to side load by an administrator if needed. With Edge for web, Groove Music and Film & TV for music and video you have a pretty nice out of the box solution. Through in a few core apps like a modern Notepad, File Explorer, etc. and you have a great little Chromebook competitor.

Also they have pretty good modern/universal core Office apps now. They need Office 365 to edit which is a pain but with the school has an Office 365 deal that isn't an issue either.
"For example: the personnel work scheduling for equipment maintenance will normally exist only on the workstation of the maintenance manager."

Or on a shared drive if that's where IT have set up documents to be saved to by default. And access to the shared drive could be obtained by an IT administrator who has access to a shared drive, or an outsider who has compromised the system or an IT administrator's machine.

That said, the other claims like "...and specifically names employees that are liked and are doing a good job" I have no idea about.
> Life is impermanent, so should buildings.

That seems to be some very silly reasoning. Should we build our roads and bridges to be impermanent, because life is? I'm not arguing with your first sentence, about it not being surprising that unmaintained structures tend to deteriorate.

I'm sure someone has thought of this way before I did. But, Ashley Madison leaked data with compared with executives of public traded companies.

I'm just thinking they might be reallocating assets to pay for lawyers. Who knows.
Perhaps generally speaking, but there's huge overlap. I've written tens of thousands of words worth of documents on my iPad and thousands of lines of Python code (in Pythonista). I find it very convenient to use on the train. There are excellent art, animation and music apps for tablets. My kids have an iPad Mini each, but the eldest is starting secondary school soon so I expect we'll need to get her a laptop soon. I think they complement each other. For the best of both woods, use both for the things here best at. Yes I know not everyone can afford that, but that doesn't stop it being true.
Well, yes and no, right? It's a smaller marketplace, but theoretically one with more chances to connect with people, because the resources are being more fully utilized and distributed.

And yes, the vocabulary here is somewhat on purpose. I think it's easy to argue that, if you're willing to treat the whole thing as matching providers and consumers, the poly approach is a strictly better marketplace than mainstream dating. Somewhat comically: the odds are good, but the goods are odd. :)

> Jobs lost in the early depression haven't returned

There are actually more jobs now then there were in 2005:

- January 2005: 132,752,000

- January 2015: 140,793,000

Source: http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=w...

Obviously the _type_ of jobs have changed, and this doesn't factor in population growth directly, but I don't think the statement "jobs lost in the early depression haven't returned" isn't grounded in the data.
> So I have to learn this new mixed up syntax. Why? Existing html syntax is nice already and what everyone's used to.

I assume you'd learn it because it fits with the majority of your use case; having labels immediately attached to fields. So not only are you enforcing a particular style but your saving keystrokes and mental energy on two tags when you only need one.
I understand the concept of food deserts, but what about all the poor obese children that do not live in urban areas riddled with crime so bad that stores can't even stay open? The urban areas in the South are few and far between, yet there is an overwhelming number of poor obese people.

I agree in some cases it is logistics, but it would seem that in most cases it is just ignorance of dollar-per-nutritive-calorie. Even among well educated groups with money to spend this can be hard to figure out, but it really seems to be devastating the poor.
I wasn't saying this at all... the operative word in my statement was "appears"... perhaps the correlation is entirely coincidental. Many correlations we note when we don't have enough data turns out to be coincidence - we draw incorrect conclusions and hey presto, the next great fad begins.

I agree with your statement: Portion size in North American markets is ridiculous; Our consumption and exercise levels are way out of whack and that surely does need correcting; But there does appear to be a not insignificant number of people where despite diet, exercise and unimaginable will-power and discipline, there is little if any change in body mass.

Some people despite eating ridiculous amounts of junk food their entire lives and doing little if any discernible exercise have a disproportionately low body weight; and some people despite eating little store all the fat their bodies can muster. I watch enough of this around me every day to know that these people aren't lying - if they could flip a switch to make their lives easier, why wouldn't/shouldn't they? I would. I know that even having the tine/discipline to lose 10-20lbs is hard. Imagine those that have 100+lbs to get into a healthy range. That's a struggle many of us will hopefully never have to comprehend.
