You don't get it if you just quit. However, there's a middle ground between quitting & being fired, "contractual separation", which is when you & your employer agree to end your employment. In that case, you get the unemployment insurance, and many people use it as a substitute for quitting, because of that fact.

I agree here. I recently worked on a project that required very tiny and optically precise injection molding and coating. Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers couldn't get close to making what we needed. There was a US manufacturer that could make the part but was very difficult to work with and they could not do all the process steps we needed. In the end, we went with a German company because they could do the precision machining required to meet our tolerances as well as the other process steps.

Additionally, I often need to find precision materials or really high performance components and many times these are from German companies.

Take the humble LED as an example, perhaps the most industry leading company in GaN LEDs is in Germany.

Japanese can often offer the precision needed too but their companies are a lot less accessible and it takes a lot of time to build a relationship with them if you don't have one already. What they are really great at is that once you've built that relationship, they are usually very aggressive at supporting your needs.

In Germany, I think some of it has to do with the fact that they have these government supported institutes for industrial research like HHI (Heinrich Hertz Institute). This allows them to find markets for new and risky technology and then transfer those innovations to industry.
Isn't that mostly an accident of the current data center infrastructure and subject to change? If they had waited until, say, EU-East-1 or Asia-East-1 came along they might as well have called it Switzerland.

How is this relevant to the article at all? As a credit risk modeller, we already use spending behaviour to assess credit risk; and I am pretty sure the insurance industry does too. No retail portfolio can be tailored to the individual level (or the methods are not that sophisticated yet); hence the average behaviour of your demographic will matter whether you like it or not.

To your specific point, in my country we have the concept of a "no claim bonus" where the insurance premium is drastically lower if there is no claim made in a year - not sure whether there is a similar practice in the US.
When reviewing and optimizing BOM costs, Torx screws are almost 2x the cost of a standard Phillips which helps to distinguish knockoffs. Folks who counterfeit items are looking to maximize profit and will always go for the cheapest items and not many people look at screws to see if they're different. Lots of threads out there about this. Even with this said, and as we pointed out, it’s not the main reason Dyson chose Torx screws—the primary reason would have been for proper fastening to ensure a tight assembly that wouldn’t come loose.

We are those future sociologists and historians. Why should we care about some long-dead slaves' opinion about what is good or bad?

The point is that we are trying to do what we can now to make the world better later. It matters what those in the future will think of us, because they will be the ones with the resources to improve upon it after we are gone. And if we do it right, they will be better at handling this stuff than we are.

Of course, if you actually believe things can't improve, then by all means: maximize your own happiness.

The key bottleneck with all connectome projects is still reconstruction. There's on the order of a hundred billion neurones in the human brain; they're connected via 1,000-10,000 times the number of synapses. Current machine learning approaches are decent, but still require massive amounts of proof-reading.

Circuit neuroscience in Drosophila or the mammalian retina suggests neurones and synapses are indeed the level of detail we'll need in order to gain insight into computational mechanisms. So we're a long, long way off -- don't be too impressed by this particular dataset (which is insanely coarse!).

uBlock 0.9.5.2 is available for Safari. It looks an awful lot like µBlock Origin on Chrome.
Even better is:

3 Timetwister

You don't need 2x of any one thing to get started, you only need 1 Lotus and 1 Timetwister or Ancestral Recall.

If anything gets countered, you are very, very likely to be able to keep going and win the same turn.

Timetwister lets you recycle, so you can generate infinite mana.

Braingeyser kills the opponent, and doubles as card draw itself, in the unlikely event that you stall out.

You also don't lose to a turn 1 Lightning Bolt, like you do with Channel.

A mulligan to two still has a fairly high likelihood of winning on the first turn.
Good advice...

In our case (@kentik), we're mainly focused on having a Dremel-like system accessible via FDW. Primarily we're using Postgres as the "API" to it, so if it dies as a result of an FDW bug it'd be a primary operational problem for us.
Cool idea. This would be useful to quickly run tests on local env.

My personal feeling is that GPL is good for programs, but bad for libraries, as I end up having to make my whole program GPL (or GPL-compatible) if I use a GPLed library. Often I don't want to do that, and if I use a another library which has a GPL-incompatile license, then I'm stuffed.
On the bright side, maybe we'd get to append "W.D." to our signatures.
The FSF takes the position that linking is derivative work; this may or may not be an accurate legal position, but it's a popular position from the licensed creator and an entity which owns a lot of software licenses under the GPL, and which is very influential with people who choose to use the GPL, so even if it is ultimately legally incorrect, the risk of litigation, whatever they outcome, from linking is going to be unacceptable to most significant users, so a GPL library is unlikely to see uptake in major software for which the creator had a significant reason for choosing a non-GPL license, whether it is permissive or proprietary.

>> consider whether you're really comfortable with capitalism

My favourite thing about capitalism is that you actually only have to consider whether or not you're comfortable with this policy. If you don't like it, by no means do you HAVE to take a loan. You DO have to buy insurance in many situations, but at that point it's no longer a true free market anyway.

But yeah, I think that's the default novice way of using find. I cannot agree with you and the article hard enough - I have an intense, irrational aversion to using 'find' that's absolutely incomparable to my feelings on any other Unix tool. I really can't think of any other utility which needs so many inane arguments to achieve a basic level of functionality. I even hate cracking open the manpages on it - I'll try to bring myself to do it, and then I decide "you know what, fuck it, I'll grep for it".

This is where I throw in a quick plug for bropages. Best tool ever, cannot recommend strongly enough. It's the second thing I install on a new system, right after etc-keeper.

I am aware that certain information may contain personal details concerning my character and reputation. I consent to the verification of my academic, judiciary, and credit files."

I'm being asked to sign this form by a potential employer for a software dev position. To me it seems overbroad and, well, ridiculous. All information from any company? My credit history? It seems written like they could even get a dump of my Facebook profile?

Is this normal in the industry? I've never had to sign something like this before. Not at any of my previous jobs. And I don't want to sign it now on principle.
Not just an image format, everything you want to become widely adopted and standardized should refrain from using the GPL, even the FSF[1] recommends using the Apache License in this specific case.

Some libraries implement free standards that are competing against restricted
standards, such as Ogg Vorbis (which competes against MP3 audio) and WebM
(which competes against MPEG-4 video). For these projects, widespread use of
the code is vital for advancing the cause of free software, and does more
good than a copyleft on the project's code would do.

In these special situations, we recommend the Apache License 2.0.

At least in terms of configuration management, what you usually end up with have is a complex config generated by something that is Turing complete.

I'm so tired of "CSS is Turing Complete" meme being propagated. TC is a powerful result with important consequences. Namely the impossibility to solve Halting problem. But CSS is deterministic and a CSS "program" always halts.

"But, but, we are making an assumption that a user has to click this particular button until the page doesn't change anymore (assuming infinitely long page [1])"

To which I say, poppycock. The purpose of CSS language is to apply styles to the webpage. Once it is processed, the CSS "program" has done it's purpose and is finished (i.e. halted). Running the same CSS "program" over and over again until it consistently produces identical results is not the point of CSS (unlike, say LaTeX/BibTeX compilation process, where you need to compile one file several times to get citation page numbers right, which is Turing complete). You might want to call it something else, like RCSS (repeated CSS). Then, RCSS is Turing complete, but plain CSS isn't. Much like a calculator that can calculate z^2 + C isn't necessarily Turing complete, while a graphical calculator that can draw a Mandelbrot fractal by iterating that formula is.

You argument is that Vanguard is a market maker, Vanguard likes HFT, thus HFT must be good. That doesn't really follow at all. Vanguard could be arguing in favor of HFT for all kinds of reasons, one of them could be that they have the money to rent server space right next to the main exchanges, and pay for the ludicrously low latency connections to the exchanges, so they benefit from HFT by being able to be quicker than others, and they don't want to loose there edge.

> I suspect a lot of apps are better done via the Rails approach as it's much simpler, if slower to test.

I have been inclined to agree with this, but lately have begun to wonder. I think the relational model (and document model) lead to the need for lots of manual traversal/management of the graph/hierarchy of a domain model.

And, in an OOP sense, models have behavior (and of course state).

But behavior involves mutating the state of one domain object and others, via their public API (behaviors). Yet most of the so-called behaviors are actually just adding/changing nodes/edges to the graph, which makes the model's main behavior data validation.

So we have this elaborate, tightly-coupled system that pretty much only does data validation, but via the elaborate mechanism of object behavior and internal state.

The typical test suite tests the propagation of this data through the system and verifies that the proper object state has been mutated/persisted, since the proper functioning of the system is easy to doubt.
