Right. "By virtue of my training and experience, I had reason to believe" is a stock statement re anything, in trying to establish probable cause for searches, stops and the like.

It's a broad, overarching, and highly vague statement that amounts to, in many cases, "I decided you do, so therefore I have the right to act as if you do".

Gosh no. You don't need react router for simple applications.
Is most of what you do numerical calculations? How much complexity are you willing to spend (in terms of development and maintanance programmer time) to buy a factor of 2 speedup to your code execution time in numerically heavy routines? Have you already optimised the hell out of those routines? Unless the answers are "yes", "a lot", and "yes", mixed precision arithmetic is not the answer for you.

Do you think a simple edge case is a good reason to challenge the quality of the entire data set? I'm not sure how many just-launched apps have perfect data and are perfectly bug-free, but I'm guessing that number is pretty low. (See: Apple Maps launch)

Personally, I think this is a step in the right direction. I can easily see this data set getting larger and adding in other useful scenarios that would make it more useful for patients like me.

More I see these, the more it makes me wonder if we understand enough about the impact of 'Nano materials' on the health of living species. Sometime back there was some discussion around how graphene being so minuscule, can penetrate human tissues in a a way that we don't know about.

Then much earlier - maybe couple of years back - there was some noise around nano silver particles, I haven't seen any conclusive discussion on that either.

A quick search brought forth this: "Silver as a metal does not pose any danger, but when you break it down to nano-sizes, the particles become small enough to penetrate a cell wall. If nano-silver enters a human cell, it can cause changes in the cell" http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140227115424.ht...

Developers on Twitter: tweet your ideas and requests using #helloworld. -Jack
Heroku Proxying Becomes Free Software
Venmo was started by UPenn alums so it was popular among my friends long before it was a phenomenon (one of my good friends interned there and wrote the BlackBerry app).

I used to use it exclusively by SMS starting around 2011. It used to be smart enough where I could text in "Pay John $5 for food" and it would figure out which John I meant and do it. I loved that.

It's been amazing to watch Venmo grow to what it is now. If I could only keep three apps on my smartphone, I would choose Uber/Lyft, Venmo, and Google Maps. I can't navigate my life without all three of those.

In my last year of college my Venmo year in review showed that I had spent $17k on Venmo and received $18k. So not a huge net, just a constant movement of money in and out among my friends (rent, food, parties, etc). If I had to use cash we would have never been able to make the small things work, and if I had to use PayPal I would have accrued $100s to $1000s in fees.

So basically: thank you Venmo. You make my life measurably simpler.

So in practical terms, you'll eventually want to bring everything back in and create a analytics DB or data warehouse. Depending on what your schemas look like in each microservice, you might just be able to add each DB into Metabase and hit them up.

We don't do cross DB joins in the query builder. You can still use something like PG foreign data wrappers to create an uber-db with all the tables from each microservice.

Regardless of whether you use MB or another tool, there will be some legwork. Part of the tradeoffs involved in the great monolith vs microservices decision.
Thanks, and hope you like it!
Kits Make Tinkerers’ Home-Automation Dreams Come True
Would love to share more info, but I should have stated that it won't magically make Cell simple to program for... our new compiler techniques are dependent on a lot of new architectural ideas we have implemented in hardware, and while we would solve the memory cramming problem (Trying to fit your application into the fixed scratchpad space) on many architectures (Cell, TI DSPs, a lot of other embedded chips), the real magic we have developed is in being able to have 90%+ of it statically scheduled, which we're only able to do with our architecture.

If you're interested, check out our website (http://rexcomputing.com) and sign up for the mailing list... The only thing we have public is a very vague and more technique overview paper in general rather than a real description of what we are doing(http://memsys.io/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/p98-sebexen.pdf). It presented at a conference earlier this month (and to be published by the ACM), but I hope to give more details on our specific implementation and other cool features later this year.

If you're willing to sign a NDA, feel free to use the contact us on the website though.
Early career academics are a slave to the system for career advancement; late career (successful) academics are too complacent to want to change. The only way the parent's idea will take root is if established academicians vote with their own writing, and go on a mission to convince others in their sphere of influence.

As you say, to do this as a young researcher is career suicide.
The helper app is there to update proxies for www.netflix.com requests while watching a movie. As soon as you stop playing the movie it removes that specific proxy rule. It is better and safer than the common "smart DNS" trick because it does not route nor intercept requests to other domains.

Also, I will remove this helper in the incoming version (found a better way).
I think the exact sequence of events was Braintree bought Venmo for ~$25M and then later PayPal bought Braintree.
I use it for just about everything I would have previously had to write a check to an individual for. Most of the time this ends up being some form of paying someone back for my portion of a split bill or if they purchased something on my behalf.

Even though I have had paypal for years, most people cringe when someone doesn't yet have Venmo and offers to send via paypal.

Rather than just adding more bits - doubles and double-doubles, I like the idea of moving around the boundary between the exponent and mantissa as necessary for the application, as well as adding the ability to determine how uncertain the number actually is.

OTOH, Google Play Music is also a music app, and designed for the user to catalog all their personal music, and is already free, and the subscription that includes unlimited streaming of the Google Play Music catalog is rolled included with the new Youtube Red subscription.
Perhaps simpler would be allowing one person to be in multiple 2 person marriages at once. Even if one of these must be set as the primary, for which all tax benefits, etc. apply to. So while a 3 person marriage would leave one person with no primary, a 4 person marriage would really be 6 marriages, only 2 of which are primary and which function mostly the same. Any special cases like power of attorney could work through the primary marriage unless a legal document was drafted that changed the functionality.

I'm sure a think tank can form a much better option than the one I crafted in under 5 minutes.
You're making very strong assumptions about the number of people there are. How did you decide that's a countable infinity? No such assumption is made in the problem statement. If there are an uncountably infinite number of people then they wouldn't all fit in the countably infinite number of rooms, so of course there are people that can show up.

Vehicle exhaust and other combustion processes can produce a bunch of weird structures consisting of aromatic carbon, some of which are tube shaped:

Delete? There's this thing called soft-deletes. Things which get stored on Google (and Facebook for that matter) will never ever be deleted when you, the person which added the content, decides to do this.

They can ofcourse, when they decide to free up storage space by actually deleting stuff which was already soft-deleted -- but given the price per gigabyte these days I bet this will never ever happen...
I hope that they only add this fake noise when no radio is playing or that it can easily be disabled.
Question: does anyone know how/if Venmo makes money or is it just a loss-leader for Braintree/PayPal?

I use it for thousands of dollars of transactions a year but I have never paid a penny in fees or seen an ad. People claim that Venmo acts as a bank and invests my carried balance but I can't imagine that's lucrative enough to pay all the bills.

Can you personally ask the Solaris cryptography group why, in detail they think this is the case? No explanation I've seen for this makes sense.

I have, and again, most of the reasoning is Solaris-specific.

The primary difference between urandom and random is currently higher quality re-keying for /dev/random, but there are a few internal implementation differences as well.

Fundamentally, it's about constraints placed on the implementation that currently make /dev/random more "secure". In addition, for Solaris /dev/random (and getrandom(GRND_RANDOM)) when the administrator explicitly configures a specific validation mode then the bits you get come from a validated DRBG (Deterministic Random Bit Generator). /dev/urandom is not affected by that validation mode.

I think the Solaris people are wrong. I'm not sure, but I'd be willing to bet a small amount of money on it.

They're really not in this case, but in fairness, you'd have no way of knowing about this without source code access and a few decades of knowledge about Solaris crypto.

You can find a summary from two years ago written by one of the primary Solaris cryptography engineers and architects here:

https://blogs.oracle.com/darren/en_GB/entry/solaris_random_n...

...they intend to update it soon for the next Solaris release.
An interesting thought! It would take some resources to host the thousands of journals out there, but fundamentally the problem is similar to hosting movies, TV shows or music.

I prefer 16:9 too (for tablets, which is the topic of this story) but for a completely different reason: it is easier for someone with large hands such as myself to pick one up from a flat surface with one hand (in a "beer can" grip).

(For laptops and desktops, I prefer 4:3 as long as I have at least 1280 pixels of horizontal resolution.)
Clearly this was a bit click baity (back to the future day etc) but it raised an interesting question for me which was this, "If a self driving car can achieve maximum performance, does a police officer have any chance of catching them if driving manually?"

Think about that for a moment, sort of robot car meets Transporter. So often high speed chases end in disaster, but if the car was driving could it make it work? Could the bad guys then shoot at the following officers at their leisure?
I don't know anything about this particular filing, but the FDA is primarily concerned with you having demonstrated safety and efficacy.

Consider what will happen a hundred years from now, if the technology to restore cryopreserved people is developed and used. Our descendants will look back on our failure to do cryopreservation on any significant scale, and I think they will judge us harshly. We, humanity, should have a billion-dollar research project to learn how to do cryopreservation well, to improve the odds that the brains we preserve will be repairable and to get the cost down low enough to offer to everyone. Instead, we are condemning literally everyone to inevitable, permanent death, not even trying to save them.

It is, without exaggeration, the greatest tragedy in the world, and it's happening because superstition and our society's anti-superstition memetic immune system misfired simultaneously.
I don't really understand the point of calling File::Slurp "the right thing" in the first place. As the author says, you've got working code, why replace it with a module (or anything) unless you have an actual reason?
This is why data warehousing exists. That way you can use many different BI tools against a consistent set of data and pre-calculate a lot of commonly-used summary data.

ETL also isn't something you can just do automagically. It requires an understanding of the data and your goals, because you essentially have to build both your data model and your reporting requirements into your ETL process. You could probably do it automagically for some simple cases, but for most real-world scenarios it's just going to be easier to write a Python/Perl script to run your ETL for you.

BI / reporting requires a lot of plumbing to work correctly. You have to set up read-only clones of your DBs for reporting (because you don't want to be running large queries against production servers) and generally an ETL process that dumps everything into a data warehouse. From there, you can push subsets of that data out to various BI tools that provide the interface.
Sports draw the line on equipment all the time. Professional baseball, for example, does not use aluminum bats. Pro golf has extensive lists of approved/disallowed equipment.

The key here is that the professionals claim it fundamentally changes the game. Not only does it allegedly drastically change the dynamics of how the rock travels, it also allegedly takes most of the skill requirement out of shooting and puts it into sweeping. Not to mention it also supposedly causes significant harm to the playability of the ice surface, which is paramount in curling.

Somebody posted a video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScelTWytLFQ&feature=youtu.be) of a draw shot that the sweeper was able to manipulate the rock into traveling a straight line, while a rock a few feet over curled five feet. This sort of manipulation completely changes how the game is played, both physically as well as strategy.

Now, I'm still not sure I believe all the claims, and the video leaves a lot of unanswered questions, and some claim it's just a smear campaign by BalancePlus against competitor Hardline. I don't know what to believe, and am reserving judgement until the evidence is more clear. BUT, if these brooms can in fact do everything people claim they can, I would be in favor of disallowing them.
I just like knowing I have the trait for smelling asparagus in urine.

Discrimination on the basis of group (gender, religion, ethnicity, etc) is always more pronounced when it's performed by a member of one group towards a member of another. It's especially pronounced when the group the perpetrator belongs to is traditionally the more privileged or powerful one.

The reason I believe you were down-voted is because you were originally trying to steer attention towards "binary gender roles" instead of "sexism in tech". You may not have intended that, but it comes off as derailing.

I found this article interesting because it seems to indicate a boundary that some people seem to have while others don't. I don't think it's actually related to any particular topic of dispute.

Face to face; on the phone; via e-mail and IM; you're interacting with an actual human being; an individual person you can choose to form a relationship with, or to simply not bother with any more. I think that most, if not all people do this. It's how you end up with friends, how you end up drifting away from other people.

To me, at least, comments on the Internet live in a bubble. They just don't work in the same way. It's a random snippet of information that doesn't really link to a personality. To spend time thinking about 'Internet trolls', to lambast them, it's a waste of time, a complete nonsense (unless perhaps you're a moderator of a forum or similar).

I think that focusing on that is likely to lead people down the wrong path.

In real life, there are probably places you don't go as a (white/black/gay/lesbian/male/female/software developer/whatever). At least perhaps you don't reveal those parts of yourself (obviously, some of those are harder than the others!) Because there are people out there, that don't want you. And that's... to me, that's fine. Go to a working man's pub, park your Ferrari outside and flash the links? It's just not the done thing.

edit 2: (Interestingly enough, I realised after posting this that most of the comments in the post above seem to be of this sort. They're not really directed at Leah; they read almost like a group chatting amongst themselves, like they're looking for someone else to agree...)

But the Internet is that place, everywhere. All walks of life, all people. And they're going to disagree with you; you're going to disagree with them; and perhaps you can't reason it out. I think that's perfectly healthy and it's good that we have that diversity in the human experience.

edit: I wanted to make clear that I do have... sympathy, for lack of a better term, with the issues here. Not that it matters ever so much, as Random Internet Commenter #3384492233 ;)

If I'm not mistaken it was popularized by the Fighting Game Community (FGC). There's a related subreddit (r/Kappa). PogChamp and Bible Thump (which are also on the list on the linked page) were also popularized by the FGC. The interesting thing is that in terms of viewers, Fighting games have a substantially less proportion of the total audience compared to MOBAs and FPSs. It's possible that FG viewers just spend much more time chatting than other spectators because the average Fighting Game match goes by in about 2 minutes.

Besides trolling, r/Kappa is also known for sponsoring many FG players to get to tournaments around the world, so you might come across players who list them as a sponsor (in the same way you'd maybe see someone sponsored by EG - Evil Geniuses).

In "twitch speak" the term can in some ways be used to indicate sarcasm, as replacement for "j/k", or just trolling in general.

eg. "This stream's quality is fantastic kappa!"
