Being a Muslim is to bow one's will to the Almighty. There is no such thing Wahabi/Hijji/Cultural Muslims. This is cleared in the Quran, that the religion chosen for us is Islam, not Islam Version A or Version B.

A Muslim will enter it knowing its importance, and though he may not be perfect in conduct, he would ought to ask for forgiveness.

Non-Muslims would naturally move about naturally, and end up doing things they do not know the gravity of, and over that not ask for forgiveness (from Allah). This is the reason in plain words.

For the Non-Muslims, my op stays as it is. Just because you are interested in sightseeing Mecca, doesn't mean we undo our own vows. Yes it is a beautiful place, you wanna watch it? Buy the tickets: "There is only one God, and there is no other God, that is the way straight". And you should be gladly allowed to sight see or pray.. whichever you want. Mecca's Hospitality would be yours.
As far as I know, this used to be a big problem in the Starcraft 2 pro gamer community, before everyone switched to naming their account "||||||||" or some such. (They would get DDOSed a lot.)
Those are nice concessions, but I rather doubt that they aren't more than offset by other provisions.
Good point. I have different reliability requirements, I think, from most developers. Since I like to travel a lot, my measurement for reliability is how secure I feel that my apps will stay running on server reboots or equipment failure/replacement.

I consider most VPS vendors to be reliable in the sense that as long as /etc/roc.local, or a modern equivalent, starts all services on reboot. But, I feel more secure with a PaaS provider who I trust. For now I am using Azure for VPS (Bizspark participant) and Heroku and Bluemix for PaaS.
I think you could just use black_box to get around the optimizer:

I've never actually tried it outside of tests, so I don't know if it applies here.
Crater (crater.co) – Sonoma County, CA or REMOTE – Contract to start

We're bringing video collaboration to organizations. Moving companies and home service providers are using our software to video chat with their customers, music teachers are holding lessons with students across the world, sports coaches are reviewing and annotating games, and we're just getting started.

We're a startup, in private beta, focusing sales efforts on capturing our first vertical. We're offering something that's not available anywhere: branded, automatically recorded and secure video chat with cross-device playback. We're changing the way businesses communicate with customers, and enabling a new level of support.

Our team is distributed across North America, with members based in California, Nevada, Mexico City, Virginia, NYC, and Maine. Our culture is fast-paced, innovative, and progressive.

We're growing, and looking to take on two new engineers:

# Video Software Engineer

We're looking to bring on an engineer to lead the next phase of development on our video player, playback, and chat features. Fixed scope contract project to start.

HTML, CSS, JS, Python, Golang, Haskell, WebRTC, AWS, Parse, BitTorrent, document-oriented databases, RESTful HTTP API.

# Mobile Software Engineer

We're looking to bring on an engineer to lead the next phase of development of our iOS app, which is currently a simple video chat app. You'll be adding a video player and optimizing playback, along with extending the chat features. Android experience a plus, but initial focus would be solely on iOS. Fixed scope contract project to start.

HTML, CSS, JS, Objective-C, Swift, Python, Golang, Haskell, WebRTC, AWS, Parse, BitTorrent, document-oriented databases, RESTful HTTP API.

Interested? Send links to code you've written (preferably on GitHub) and demos of projects you've worked on to jodi@crater.co.

He was a pretty good speaker in person. I went to his speech in Fargo to see what he was about. His book the campaign put together was actually pretty well reasoned and a lot more concrete than the other campaigns' materials. My brother joined his party and we got 20% off a hotel room, so I guess hooking up the corporate discounts worked.

I cannot really argue with the results, but I didn't much care for EDS and some of their sayings. The whole "eagles fly alone" is factually wrong (watch a video of them eating) and just plain stupid in the context of software development.
The losses in globalization trend towards localized, which are easier to identify and document. The gains however, are much more widespread, and as someone pointed out earlier, the world is doing better, on the whole, in lifting people out of poverty by every measure.

It's hard to believe a statistic more than it is a news report of someone losing their job. But things are improving.
In much the same way, USC Title 42 is a mechanism for stripping sovereignty from state governments and handing it to individuals and interest groups. It does this by creating a mechanism where (certain) groups get to sue the government for damages based on certain types discrimination.

Various state laws give up sovereignty and allow individuals and corporations to sue the state for negligent actions taken by state employees. The Tucker Act strips sovereignty and allows various contracts to be enforced against the government.

Governments sometimes give up sovereign immunity. It's actually a very important component of the rule of law, allowing the government to be bound by law in addition to the people.
"People who live in trailers,” he said darkly, “generally do so because they're broke, not because it's a fun social experiment."

This quote closer to the end of the piece struck a cord with me. Part of leadership is the responsibility to provide a level of stability or predictability.

Anyone in academic research able to give a summary of how grants are decided?

I'm under the impression that most science research is guided by military, corporate, and imperial needs. And, far less pure science gets funded just to empirically understand the universe.

It's a horrible shame in my opinion.

Can't crowd funding come into play somehow? I'd love to donate money to scientific research. But, how is it possible for a layman to validate the 'real science' from the quakery?

Incidentally, just as a piece of quick feedback for clara.io:

Registering for a service is really expensive! I have to come up with a password, then file it in my password manager, hand out my email address to some unknown stranger, etc, etc. Mostly I won't bother unless there's some compelling reason to do so; when present with a registration form I'll usually just give up.

Since you have a browser-based product, having 'Try now!' button that starts it (with no backend storage!) and let me play with it would make me way more likely to actually sign up.

Python has ctypes, which allows one to access (almost) any OS-specific API for secured memory storage, like gcry_malloc_secure or CryptProtectMemory.
I think it violates my ideas about good APIs which should transfer only the smallest amount of information necessary to do the job. When I subscribe to something all I am asking is that I be notified when a thing changes and to be told what the change is. I should be able to do this outside of an object if I want to.

So a subscription needs a method to call when the value changes. And the method needs to pass the new value.

Being unsubscribed isn't enough because if I really care about the object I need to know when it goes away, not just be magically unsubscribed from it and continuing in my own little fantasy land where the object still exists.

Edit:

Continuing the thought, I think the model needs two protocols -- a publisher and a subscriber. The subscriber automatically cancels subscriptions when it goes away and the publisher automatically cancels subscriptions when it goes away. The information passed in a given case is simply what object and property I am subscribing to (since, as a subscriber I already know who I am, and the information can be encapsulated without being passed).

Of course it would be negotiated in secrecy. How else do you expect something to get done? Every political player will get facts out of context and make his rhetoric out of it, sprinkling emotions and indignation to rally up clueless people, in order to build up his image or get a political favor. Now imagine this happening in every country and mass media amplifying it.

Negotiators would have NO room to negotiate. Parliaments have to ratify and have appropriate time to get themselves familiar with the matter. Stop drinking the kool aid.
There is no need of a complete unilateral agreement. CountryA benefits from free trade with CountryB even if the later imposes tariffs to some products of industries they want to 'protect'. It's CountryB which will not have as an optimized economy as it could.

No, because i know what to expect from different newspapers and in the very very rare cases where i buy them, i do that only after skimming the front and relevant pages.

>Do you ask for a refund when you bought an app on the app store and you stop using it after 1 hour because it doesn't fit your need?

Yes, all the time.

What's your point?

A lot of people do, yes.
I obviously can't speak for everyone but there are no changes to the website that would change the attitude about Perl here at work. Twenty years of unmaintainable Perl code has convinced management that it needs to be eradicated.

Note: I'm not bashing Perl here - developers using any language can create unmaintainable code. The move towards producing enterprise-level software has included increasing salaries to the point where professional software engineers can be hired along with adopting architectural principles that are conducive to producing large-scale software.

True, but this overlooks transmission inefficiencies. Inherent in moving power over distances is power loss (without superconductors). In that sense, local power generation is superior.

However, my understanding of the overall picture is that car engines (both diesel and gas) are so much less efficient than a power plant, that even with transmission, it's cleaner to switch to centralized power generation.

> Additionally, Rust is only memory-safe to the extent that you do not use unsafe code and that includes the libraries that your project depends on.

In much the same way other languages are only memory-safe to the extent that you don't use an FFI (or make sure you're using theme safely). You can trivially segfault CPython with ctypes.

Though unsafe code is probably more common in Rust than native code is in Ruby or Python owing to it being in closer reach and not requiring language switch and great complexity increase in distribution.
Well, many news topics receive very different treatment in the USA than the get in most of the rest of the world. I debate this with friends: I will point out a descrepency and they resist the idea that their news is not legit.

Is it usable, performance-wise, in production yet? The company I work for (also a perl 5 shop) gave MoarVM a try about a year ago with a toy application, and it was just unusably slow. The task was just receiving some JSON on a TCP socket, decoding it, and sending a static response, but the round trip time was large enough that the server that made the request marked the transaction as 'timed-out' every time. (This is a task that we can do with perl 5 and still have time left over)
I want to see the concessions before I call them "nice". It's good that they listened to criticism, but did they listen enough? The basic idea behind ISDS is to me still a flagrant attack on justice and democracy. The article mentioned tobacco companies are excluded, which is certainly nice. But I'd also like to see everything related to public health excluded.

I understand that corporations want to be protected against arbitrary protectionist law changes that disadvantage them, and I'm fine with that. But they don't deserve any protection from laws that intend to protect public health, labour conditions, civil rights, etc.
That's not yet a political reality. Don't like perfect become the enemy of the good. With each incremental step and treaty, we help advance this ideal.
I also use it here. I miss not being able to autocomplete browser forms when I switched over from 1password, but it isn't really that big of a deal.

As others mention, I wish there was a built in way of protecting the meta-data. I guess it wouldn't be that hard to just encrypt/decrypt the entire directory myself.

Ping times are ~700ms and given my high reliance on SSH to do my work I was skeptical ... but it's not that bad.

Statistically speaking, in the current climate I bet there are more government officials getting arrested and losing their assets on corruption charges than there are activists suffering the same.

One social factor that might be important is that people who complain/moan/get hung up on politics and principles aren't very likely to succeed in a country where you have to be very bloodyminded and flexible to deal with the amoral business environment in China. I would guess that if a person is constantly sending anti-government or whiney political messages, it's kind of like a 'loser' stamp here, and that might affect your credit score.

> they are rife with corporate subsidies and targeted protectionism

At least in spirit, this agreement largely exists to remove subsidies, tariffs and import restrictions.

I suppose you're referring to the (expected) "harmonisation" of intellectual property law in the agreement, though? In that case I'd tend to agree with a characterisation of it as a protectionist measure, though I doubt that's a popular way to put things in official channels.
Hajj & Umra esp. in Ramadan for Saudi is all about the $$ even if it hates to admit it so the consumerist side to these events or religious duties don't surprise me a bit as Saudis view them as an enterprise and are doing the best they could to collect as much dough as possible from these people to add to their coffers and make a killing in the process.
>Twitter is the de facto messaging platform.

Twitter is the best broadcasting platform. The true challenges are to control spam level and be able to display enough ads to monetise it.

I'm a late adopter of twitter but if you know how to use it is a great tool: follow less than 20 accounts, info is still possible to digest and the number of ads is not enough to annoy you.
I use it frequently. It's my preferred gender-neutral term for referring to members of Congress. I don't know it's true origin, but I picked it up from Dave Barry.
Snark (mostly on point snark, but still) aside, I think you have a point here. It takes one being very shallow to dismiss an entire programming language based on the website being a bit twee.

The only way these kind of knee-jerk reactions get dismantled over time is to ignore the nay-sayers and prove them wrong. And being in a profession where logic is valued, a lot of people here should know better.
Yup. Payment is a decision. Even if it's a small one, it annoys users to stop and think "hmm, is this worth X" every time. That said, cellphones give us the same frustration since many of them have hyper-complex automatic payment schemes. But does anybody like the way cellphone bills work?
Well, this sounds really interesting, I was just reading the wikipedia entry on Erns Dickmans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Dickmanns this and the project was truly fascinating. What did you do there? What did you end up doing afterwards?
If they would receive an annotated version with the annotations explaining the reasoning that led to each final decision then it might be possible to come up with an objective judgement. But if you have to reverse engineer the reasoning of several countries over several years about numerous topics in 90 days and from hundreds or thousands of pages in a language that hardly resembles your mother tongue...good luck with that.
