Getting older gets you to focus. What is on that list of things I just know I will do someday given the time? Well, whatever it is, it just got smaller. But that doesn't really even matter. It is not about how much you do but about doing things well that really counts in life. Not just for yourself but for others too. And not just at age 20 when you have what feels like boundless energy but at age 50 (or whatever) when you have a greater degree of wisdom and wherewithal to offset the energy lapses that inevitably come with getting older. Don't rob yourself of the joys that come with aging by letting the limitations overcome you. Each part of life has its distinctive blessings. Make the most of them and be a blessing to others as well as to yourself. If you do that, you will do well and you will age gracefully to boot.

Very thoughtful post from a very thoughtful guy. Happy birthday, Jacques.

From the abstract of the Nature article linked by @comboy below (http://www.nature.com/articles/srep12488):

> the magnetic field from a source at one end of the wormhole appears at the other end as an isolated magnetic monopolar field, creating the illusion of a magnetic field propagating through a tunnel outside the 3D space.

Seems that there's no actual tunneling, just the illusion of tunneling.

Death sentence is considered harsher than imprisonment for life, right? It includes paying for your crimes with all your time and your existance.

What if, in the future, it becomes possible to serve a x year sentence in a chemically induced coma or such, in a way taking away your existance too temporarily? Wouldn't that be a milder punishment because the element of "serving time" is no longer there?

2007 was a relatively good year for Canada. Due to a combination of luck and good regulation, our banks did not need bailouts. So Canada weathered that recession better than our peers. Contrast that with now, where we are the only G7 country in recession.

but the casino aspect of the economy has grown stronger and more pervasive over time. Look at a chart of the 10 year US bond. The interest rates have plummeted over the last 30 years. These low rates have intensified the casino aspect of the stock market.

The rates were lowered after the crashes of 2001-2002 and 2008-2009. But the rates cannot be lowered any more. Why? They are at zero, effectively.

That is different.

My experience was not so stellar.

Interviewer tagged me and I thought I'd go along with it for the fun. I'm a systems engineer not a developer so YMMV.

First stage interviewer put me through a basic aptitude test ("what is netstat?", "what's the expected output of dig?") which was fine and I answered them all with a fair degree of correctness but the questions quickly went on to different programming languages, and while I've done some small things and I definitely know my way around a bourne shell I didn't get spectacular marks honestly, mostly because he was asking programming questions and I haven't had as much exposure to code as I'd like.

the next week I receive what I thought was a follow up call, but it was another round of preliminary questions.. around 2 questions in, and I realise these are the same exact questions I answered the week before. I'm a bastion of honesty, and while I knew the answers to all his questions now (because curiousity made me look up the ones I had failed.) I felt I should tell him that he asked me these questions before. I did.. he fell silent.. "are you sure"

"Yeah, your next question is about netstat"

".. oh.. well I don't have your results"

"Do you have any other questions to ask, you can reask me questions but my success rate will be higher this time"

"no, we'll contact you in 6 months"

Well, he didn't, but that process shook me a bit.. I certainly wouldn't call it stellar, and I'm likely blacklisted from interviewing at google now as I don't think I've had recruiter spam from them in a long time.
It can also be nice to use HISTCONTROL=ignorespace

If you're planning on keeping a lot of history, ignorespace makes it easy to avoid inserting commands with sensitive info. A well-placed $(cat) can work too.

$ PASSWORD=hunter2 # sensitive info doesn't go into history
$ curl -O http://name:$PASSWORD@server/path # command with correct syntax does go into history
Low density of motorized transport (or even "fast" unpowered transport such as bikes) helps with the atmosphere. In some medieval towns which are still inhabited and thriving, the streets are mostly too rough for driving. Having everything you need within walking distance has a huge impact on the quality of life. You get to see more people, there is less noise and life feels less rushed.

What proponents of ARC miss, is that Apple gave up on GC because they didn't managed to make it work with Objective-C semantics, not due to merits of RC over GC.

Also Swift is also ARC based, because the goal is for a smooth integration with the Objective-C runtime, not due to merits of RC over GC.

Relativity actually tells us what real "holes in space" do. I'm not kidding. And the answer is that they explode as they collapse, releasing massive amounts of energy as the vacuum is disturbed, because any macroscopic spatial distortion is massively, massively energetic, in the sense where all my uses of the word "massive" is not actually metaphorical. Explosions equivalent to rather enormous amounts of mass, as energy.

No, there's no hole through space here.
My thoughts as well. Let's hope they don't finish excavating the tunnels and accidentally walk the path in the wrong pattern. Who knows what hidden realm you'd end up in.

This is actually more common than you think. Age groups 40-55 are often more competitive than others. This is the age when people suddenly realize they are aging and start training like maniacs. When I run road races, my overall ranking (among men) is always better than my age-group ranking.
I've read over this and I can't figure out if they really did create a magnetic monopole from the end of the sphere, or if that field is still coupled with the other side and it's only monopolar in some virtual or mathematical sense?

I'm kind of suspecting it is the latter, as a magnetic monopole discovery would overshadow their magnetic tunnel/wormhole work, and it's definitely not the focus of the report.

Depends on if you look at the satellite troposphere data or the ground and sea thermometer data. The UAH/RSS satellite data say the troposphere hasn't warmed in ~19 years. The ground/sea based thermometers say we're all going to die in a fire (depending on which data revision you look at).
I have been interviewing candidates for 20+ years now and that precise language has been refined. Any super-strong opinion one way or the other is itself a great bit of information, especially among a candidate who lists both Java/C# and C/C++ on his resume.

If it makes you feel any better, in the early 90s the question was "what's wrong with malloc?" And I'm sure you'd do just fine. Amazing how many people don't, though. Better predictor of success than any of this "walk a tree" nonsense and no whiteboard required.
Great questions, thanks.

> We started using ui-router recently and from quick profiling of rendering it looks like a lot of time is spent in ui-router transitions (chained promises)

I've never profiled transitions specifically, but the number of promises is generally determined by (a) how many templates you have in a target state, and (b) how much asynchronous data (resolves) each state loads.

> and in generating/validating ui-sref links.

State names themselves are validated once on initial template load. If the target is parameterized, we do set up a $watch() on the parameter values to update the href, which is a small incremental perf hit per use (and you'll naturally tend to get more churn the more deeply-nested the scope in which you use them is).

> Do you have any pointers to differences between Component Router and ui-router? I'm especially interested in pitfalls of both.

The biggest differences that I'm aware of are:

- Component Router supports components (naturally), which UI Router does not (this is on the roadmap)

- Component Router's transition pipeline appears to be more flexible than UI Router's (we're refactoring heavily to encapsulate & expose more APIs)

- As with ngRoute, Component Router's configuration binds view components (or controllers/templates in ngRoute's case) directly with URLs, whereas UI Router provides a more sophisticated abstraction in the form of a hierarchical state machine, which many people find more ideally-suited to large, complex apps (see other comments)

- UI Router provides more sophisticated abstractions for encapsulating and modeling your domain in terms of URLs, for example, Type objects [0]

> I haven't debugged ui-router much yet, but maybe I'm doing something wrong

Let me know if you encounter any specific issues, or post to StackOverflow. One or more of us are usually fielding questions there.

As someone that lives in a third world country, I think that everything John said about the case (that it was about people wanting bribes) is true.

Also he said people hit him with a baseball bat after putting a helmet on his head, I know even other techniques (a cop friend told me one of the things his corrupt colleagues do is hit people with soap bars inside towels, it also hurts a lot without leaving bruises if you know what you are doing).
> Isn't this article just taking a roundabout way of commenting that landowners in highly productive areas are choking growth and more productivity by siphoning too much money off of the non-landowners for use of the land? I understand that they're the Economist so they can't outright say that the rich are hurting the economy by hurting the poor, but come on, at least be a little more clear.

I don't know, the article seems to be rather clear on the matter:

> If regulatory limits on building heights and density were relaxed, fewer plots of land would be needed to satisfy a given level of demand. That would reduce the rents collected by landowners, since any uptick in demand could quickly be met by new development. Just as soaring agricultural productivity led to a decline in the relative economic power of rural landowners in the 19th and 20th centuries, the relaxation of strict limits on development would lead to a decline in property wealth relative to the economy as a whole. More of the gains of economic activity would flow to workers and investors.
Relishing the endless possibilities life can bring. Being more care-free/not burdened by the responsibility of providing for a family. Doing things on a whim.
You're operating with a very idiosyncratic and totally impractical definition of "evidence".

It’s probably a myth that we’re sleeping less than we used to
> what they really did is outsource the management to a private company.

> Those lotteries are not privatized in the sense of opening it up to competition.

Privatization typically refers to the management, not to competition. For example, we say that electricity is privatized in NYC because it is managed by a (highly regulated) publicly traded company, even though there is no competition[0].

[0] There is now competition for the supply (though not delivery) via ESCOs, but that is a very recent move.
The article notes that we have enough trouble directly detecting neutrinos in the mega-eV range, while the ones we need to measure for this purpose are in the micro-eV range. Yes it would be more informative, but so hard that we assume direct measurement is practically impossible ... but the article describes an alternative method (phase-shift) of deducing temperature from other consequences of that value.

Sometimes the movies like to use $SCIENCE to bring forward someone from the past and see our world and be all surprised and stuff. It was almost its own genre in the 1980s. And they were always amazed at radios and cars and all the obvious things. But I also find it interesting at all the other things that they would find amazing and we don't even notice or know about, and as the article says, the sight of someone sitting on a park bench, reading a book, and their lips not moving would surprise quite a lot of our ancestors, to say nothing of a "normal person" doing it rather than a highly educated priest or obvious academic. We take it for granted, but as the article says, it's a relatively recent innovation. (On the timescale of "all of human civilization", anyhow.)
One thing I particularly like about CoAP is the /.well-known URI support (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252#section-7). It lets you implement services with easily discoverable data endpoints. E.g. IoT sensor devices can be made self-documenting in a lightweight manner.
Put some HTML code on the gh-pages branch :)

https://github.com/pakastin/deck-of-cards/tree/gh-pages
You just need a gh-pages branch on the repo. The separate repo is only for the "root folder" of that subdomain (i.e. the content of the master branch of the repo pakastin/pakastin.github.io shows up at pakastin.github.io/ and the content of the gh-pages branch of the repo pakastin/xyz shows up at pakastin.github.io/xyz).
Of course time passes. My point was that in a way, in that situation you are paying with your time and your existance, as opposed to a "normal" imprisonment where you only pay with your time.
I also meant to raise the question whether the loss of your existance holds a higher value than your awareness of time served as a crime-paying currency.

Do you think it is possible to run the android emulator on this server? Or will it be an issue because it's running on armhf?
That's actually a great question. I'd love to hear the answer, not only from the guy you're asking but from everyone.

I'm 30 now. If I woke up 20 again, I'd like to be offered the following advice:

1) Don't accept blindly the first paid internship you get, no matter how "big" the "big corp" is and how blessed your parents think you should feel (bear in mind, this was Portugal 9 years);

1.a) If you do accept, you don't have to stay there afterwards. Don't "stay" just because you're comfortable, particularly if you know, deep-down, you're not doing anything worthy or you hate it;

1.a.1) Even if you stay, move - sooner rather than later - if you suspect you should've already been promoted or "grown" inside the company. I'd say that, if you're not promoted or adequately appreciated within 3-5 years, chances are you won't be, at all. You'll deeply regret the years lost at that company, particularly if you're not fond of the business;

2) Overtime is a an exception. I repeat, exception. No money will ever pay the time you wasted in OT, particularly if it was for a company you don't like or a product you don't believe in;

3) A company funded PhD is a lovely idea if you're in love with the company. If you're not, or if you have any kind of bad feelings about it, "run". It's a very long term commitment, and the company will make you pay if you leave. I did; I couldn't stand it anymore, so I decided to pay. Bear in mind, again, Portugal; tuition for a PhD is a lot of money here.
Does Java have any way of auto vectorization? On modern CPUs SIMD can speed up numerical computation several times easily. However auto vectorization is hard in general, so compilers don't necessarily do a good job and manually optimized code is common. C++ has TMP and libraries such as Eigen use TMP to provide a nice interface to SIMD optimized code. I don't know whether Java has equivalent of compiler intrinsics for SIMD instructions, without which Java code would be far slower for many numerical computation. I believe C# has plans to add an abstraction for SIMD and Mono can already emit SIMD instructions.
That doesn't make their statements not evidence. It makes them evidence that can be refuted or doubted, but that's true of most evidence.
