I think all editors can read in the results of an external program, which might be a better solution. For example, the par text reformatter. Vim doesn't know a thing about it, but it will feed selected text to it, and replace it with results.

So for ascii diagrams, you might have an external program that generates, at least, various kinds of boxes and connectors, then you could edit the labels from the editor. Bonus if the external ascii diagram generator would take labels associated with entities.

Maybe that's an additional feature for Markdeep, or maybe it's a specific itch for someone else to scratch.
And that's why the United States was designed precisely to avoid becoming a democracy and instead be a republic.
I first heard complaints about 'helicopter parents' a full twenty years ago.
Neither is a smart asshole. How useful to society are those who try to leech money off it in the most efficient ways possible? (I'm talking charlatans and certain branches of banking)
This would run afoul of the European 'cookie law' (the name is a bit of a misnomer as it applies to more than just cookies). In short: Microsoft needs express permission to store/modify files on my computer.

It will probably be spun like Windows 10 is a security update to old OS's, but that is simply not sincere. Given the problematic privacy/sharing/phone-home settings on Windows 10 one can hardly call it a security improvement.

You must tell people if you set cookies, and clearly
explain what the cookies do and why. You must also get

I think implicit in "learning JavaScript" is learning patterns. This is not picked up through books (except perhaps one of the patterns books), but through experience, reading good code, and talking with other developers.
Lessig is not thinking this through. If he wants to be taken seriously as a candidate he's going to need to address every single issue the others have. By the time he's done that, his message will be diluted and sidetracked, and he'll have groups of people who may support him on the corruption issue but disagree on other issues, e.g., how to handle Syria.

At this point he kind of reminds me of Donald Trump who also has not taken time to formulate many policy positions but just wants to the voters to trust him it'll all be great.

Additionally, a big part of being President is just the relentless work at championing your causes and causing your opponents to fail if they refuse to compromise. Lessig seems allergic to this type of work, politics, and campaigning in general. I don't know how he expects to get his legislation passed.

Even on the issue of corruption, I'm not sure he's effectively explained his solution. He's just laid out legislation to pass, but hasn't detailed how he'll get Congress to pass it without amendments that destroy it, how he'll keep the Supreme Court from eviscerating it, and how the rules could withstand attempts to game them.
Perhaps not for someone of your (or my) level of experience with the subject matter. But when I was a beginner, this was exactly the level of curation I needed (and could not find at the time). If the links provide all the details, there's no need to pad the book with redundant content. I'm familiar with almost everything mentioned here, but I still appreciate what the author has done. I just shared this with my entire team.
A very small number of teens do, which is fine with them.
Would you still want to delay updating if Microsoft stopped all security updates for the previous version of Windows after releasing the new one? I think only supporting one version at a time has a lot of benefits like being able to focus on development and security for just one version. And I think we might all be better off collectively if everyone just upgraded straight away.
I had to buy a shovel a few years ago. It was so nice with the modern construction and materials. Much better than what my dad and I used when I was a kid helping him with chores.

But you know what? I didn't have to re-learn anything! It just worked. It was a cool new color, felt better, actually helped me dig better, but the functionality it provided and the user experience was largely the same.

Modern software companies will "have" to understand this and tell their designers to go for a long walk. Software is too important to simply say, "Everything has changed! Surprise!"

Most people don't care about software "changes" about like I don't care how the engine in my car works. Just make it go. Fix it, improve it, make it safer, blah blah ... but don't make me do something different because your designers are bored with consistency.
I've worked remotely for some time(I'm from Brazil) and gave it up, it's not worth it. I burned out on one of the jobs. The sad truth is that the "remote worker dream"(for ppl not in the 1st World) is a lie, most good companies won't risk putting relevant work for remote workers to do and if they do it'll be because they're clueless or because they need REALLY CHEAP work. It's a suckers game, even if you win, you're losing. I'm now working locally and I started making more than I did with the precious dollars at the first post-remote job and I also made friends, got more challenged, learned and growed more and basically my life became much more satisfying and with much more positive possibilities. My life improved immensely in everything, sane hours, respectful relations, less anxiety.. The effects really are innumerable.

In lame remote working there is a very clear power assymmetry going on, you're there because dollars are worth more than your currency and you'll accept subpar work and subpar pay because maybe it will pay off in the currency arbitrage, the employer knows that, trusts in your naive belief that there's gonna be quality work to do as you saw at the blogs, HN and 37signals-like stuff and he has and endless supply of willing(but maybe not capable) people, the hour-pay will always be at the lowest possible. Both sides of it have multiple reasons to not trust each other and will try to take the most value out of the transaction, and even when there's good faith on both ends there are still way too many pitfalls(e.g.: cultural stuff, deep prejudices) and the chance of success will remain low, then the good ones leave and the crap stays, it's toxic. If you're a good developer I think it's a waste of your life to be in this game, I'd only take it for "youre-gonna-retire-early/take-6-month-vacations" money(plus sane hours, weekends, holydays, relevant work, no micromanaging and other basic dignity stuff), absent that, I recommend exploring your local possibilities, even if it means learning to live with your country standards(or, middle class standard, since you're an IT worker), give up the illusion.
Belief through reason (a religious view of the singularity)
Survivor bias. The students accepted to Stanford could be a representative sample of the larger upcoming student population in other universities, with regards to helicopter parenting.
All in one comment (never mind the absurdity this guy has posted in the rest of this thread):

- Citing ridiculous, unfounded, and irrelevant statistics that actually, when viewed objectively, support the opposing argument

- Completely neglecting to address any of the actual points made previously

- Straw manning the republican argument (which represents the thoughts of an entire portion of our population)

- Labeling an entire party racist

- Speaking in broad, absurd general strokes about statements that never were (and, for that matter, never could be) made

- And the classic....bashing Fox News, the easiest target ever and the fast way to a pseudo liberal's heart

Bud, you've got everything it takes to be a political shill. If you aren't already getting paid for this nonsense, you should be.
I have my own Go Heka story. I attempted to switch from Apache Flume to Heka mainly because of Flume taking vast amount of memory. I was hoping Heka would work but I think there must be some problems with the Golang AMQP drivers as memory usage would just continue to grow. This might have been my fault as I had to alter the Heka AMQP drivers to do things with the AMQP message headers.

The problem was pretty simple: pull event messages from AMQP and then shove them into elastic search and file system. Heka and Flume were both sort of overkill so I decided to write it in Rust. I got extremely far but alas there were some issues with the Elastic Search Rust library that I'm still resolving. Surprisingly the AMQP library worked pretty well.

I will vouch for the OP's point on error handling as Rust has a similar issue to Golang but not as bad because of the awesome type system (still I hate to admit but I really miss exceptions at times).

Anyway to relate again to the OP I went back to what I know best.. boring ass Java and wrote the app in a hour or so. It took about the same memory as Heka (surprising since its Java) and appeared to be slightly faster than Heka (elastic search indexing became the bottleneck for both so take that with a grain of salt).

Long story short.. I think the drivers and libraries really are the deal breakers and not so much the languages themselves (with some minor exceptions like the GIL).
Exactly so.

Only a name-brand school will actually deliver career benefits commensurate with the cost of attending. If you can't get in to a Harvard or Stanford, one might do better to learn a technical trade independently than go into debt to attend a UCSD, Washington State, or god forbid a second-tier private college.

Second tier schools are not worth the money they're asking in the present environment.
In ten years, one is homeless, the other gainfully employed in the tech field?

Honestly, we don't know. And while your choice of university matters for the first few jobs out of university, it quickly gets pushed to the back of the bus in favor of experience. Mental stability and the framework to deal with real life, though, matters much longer.
What Incoming Engineering Students Need to Know
Both would be best, but if I had to chose I'd go for smart.

I've seen smart, but unkind people learn to be kind over time. I doubt a kind halfwit can learn to be smart. That's presumably the case because smartness defines your general ability to learn, change and adapt.
It's not evident that so called "helicopter parenting" and getting into a top college causes any of the above. First and last are anti-correlated with it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the second is too.

Obviously some people overdo it, but superior life outcomes and being a functional adult seem to go with heavily involved parenting.
Fast Graph Operations on Quantum Computers
I want to point out that this logic is based on the implication that newer is more secure, and that isn't always True, especially in closed source products. Many apps have gone from generally-good software to adware in a coupe of auto-updates. Similar things could happen to Windows - in fact, the privacy issues I pointed out in the post below are a facet of that.
The update also apparently changed the dashboard and rearranged common things like your current speed.
I don't see the male stereotype as being all that great. In practice you have men declaring as fact things that are easily debatable. The inevitable response comes back as a challenge, an argument of semantics ensues, and at the end of the day you reach a mutual détente where nobody has lost face, but nobody is wiser for the argument either. The original point obliterated by the posture.

Whereas if the discussion had been framed as "Listen, I have a very strong opinion on this one but I respect that you may disagree, and I want to understand why," then presumably you reach an understanding and possible both parties emerge the wiser.
What a false dichotomy: Stanford or life as a service worker. Both Google and YC have stopped focusing on college prestige in their hiring/acceptance, because it wasn't a particularly strong indicator of success.

I would much rather send healthy kids to a state school or liberal arts college than unhealthy kids to Stanford.
There's also no evidence that you are a government/elitist shill, but I still think you are. How's that for levying blame?
But sequence is unique, but could arguably randomly come up like you say. My point was that biological information is both complex and unique, which makes it special.
Elastic Provisioning for Distributed Graph Algorithms
That's a fundamental architecture problem with a lot of software: it's not possible to get most useful upgrades without accepting the rest of the changes.

This is sad for security because people see things like "stupid UI changes" and they make upgrade decisions based on the parts of the change that are most visible instead of the parts that are most valuable.

Software should probably be designed so that it can be distributed in a layered fashion. I shouldn't want "git cherry-pick" every time I click an Update button.
Ok, even if this was the case, I fail to see the relevance of it?

The effect would be the same.
Less money for candidates that vote against fixing the climate. Hence less chances for them winning in the elections.

Which one is more employable? If Hacker News is any indication, I would say Smart.
Sticking to the context, a smart person with ill intentions may damage the society. For a reference "smartness", assuming being kind or misogynistic is equally likely, the expected worth of a person is still zero, i.e. "isn't of much use to society".
The Dean can of course want whatever she likes, without contradiction or with hardly matters since our wants are not rational. But the chance of getting it seems unlikely to lie with preaching to parents that they should let their children fail. Especially not in a nation with a very high culture of ambition where so many perceive failure as catastrophic.

If you are a gatekeeper to an area of high value, and if you set demanding test standards, then people are going to try to teach the tests. All the talking about good parenting in the world seems unlikely to change that.

In that position, one can either change the standard to support that which one desires, (Have a discussion that goes something like, “If we are interested in educating young men and women of resilience, how do we encourage and/or test for resilience?”) or one can complain. I've yet to seen any indication that complaining will improve matters in a situation where the majority of the incentive seems to lie on the side of those who act contrary to your desires.

It's disheartening to read that 53% of Americans agree with Hillary and only 26% do not.

It's also surprising that ~81% of Americans polled had an opinion at all.

As a politician, she just reflects popular public opinion. "Right" or "wrong" is what the majority feels, unfortunately.

The author is "The business and investing agility expert", and one of the early experts he cites is a professor of Marketing.
So I fit right between Generation X and Y, depending on which timeframe reference used. I mention this as context because it feels as though I've had a first-hand view of public and private education trends. Also, a chance to see how the parents of friends and other students behaved.

Is there some logic and basis for this person's perspective? Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of anecdotes from her career - but I also categorize Stanford as an outlier of access. As in, to get in typically (but not always) entails much parental investment and, well, access to resources. Could a person who worked at a troubled youth center tell stories of a lack of parental involvement or outright neglect? Probably.

Both are significant issues regarding the health and future of society in the US: each group needs to find a place in the working world. If neither is prepared, then what will happen to the traditional relationship between employer and employee? Can new hires adapt, or will they commit career suicide?

To me, "helicopter parenting" is an indicator of the selfishness that pervades a select cohort of parents. Successful. Relatively affluent. A sense of entitlement that comes from not having to do without as a baseline, and furthermore, is used to being able to bend the will of those with less power. How did I come up with this perspective? I've worked for them.

This cohort is full of Senior Vice Presidents and Managing Directors. They work for "important companies" doing "important things" and therefore feel they are, well, quite important! Even when I was in charge of projects, their projects and in turn them, I was frequently rebuffed, ignored, or otherwise minimized by certain personalities. Those who had a different mentality? Gracious, collaborative, and, no lie, would sometimes send thank-you notes in gratitude. For many years, the self-centered outlook has been rewarded, and framing it as such in a child development process is consistent with the behavior noted in the article.

It's one thing to have high standards. It's another thing to be so afraid of failure or short-comings that the worry gets manifested in mental health issues. Looking good on paper is actually quite easy to do with the right means. Becoming a well-rounded individual with hobbies and stories of learning from life by working, getting perspective, and occasionally screwing up - hopefully not on the scale of jail - isn't easily quantified in a "how to raise a kid in the modern US" book...cough Tiger Mom cough...there's no manual except the one each family writes for themselves. That might sound wishy-washy, but it's a reasonable outlook when considering the haves, the have nots, and those who "overcome" their environment, whether over-interested or completely disinterested upbringings.
I believe I heard that the soviets experimented in the early days with ternary computers, and took it further than anyone else did. Does anyone have more information on that?
Heavily involved parenting doesn't mean helicopter parenting and thats something thats very important to understand.
I'm glad that Upwork is allowing first world folks to pay second and third world folks to earn great income (for them) at doing remote IT work, but I don't see Upwork as a way for unfairly-economically-isolated first-worlders to earn a living.

Or the headline could also read "Hillary Clinton is wrong to pander to whatever the majority of americans want".

Then again, most politicians are like that, so the headline could also read "US politics suck" and still be correct.
This is not an argument against cron. It is a demonstration of people not abstracting code. One of the thousands i've come across.

Take all of the features he mentions, and abstract the to a launch_from_cron.sh file. Make that file accept a script path as an argument and viola! All of the safety added to cron without the need for code duplication or these massive overhead solutions listed in these comments.

There is no middle class. This framing is itself toxic.

There are only people who have to work for a living (i.e. the working class), and people for whom paid labor is optional due to accumulated capital of various forms (for simplicity, let's call them the rich.)

Focusing on distinctions between substrata of the working class mainly benefits the rich.

Obama released his first book to coincide with his first political campaign. And his second book 1 years prior to announcing his run for president.

Lessig is a reasonably charismatic speaker.

The rest I agree, Lessig is no Obama.

Look, I don't expect Lessig to make much of a dent in 2016. I wouldn't say he'll never make a dent. The only way TO make a dent is to naively keep trying, and learning, and being willing to look dumb in the process.

The whistler-blower angle has been discussed to death and she knows it is complete BS because whistler-blowers in government have an extremely tragic history.

She only takes that position so she seems "tough on crime" like so make democrats are afraid to appear otherwise to the "undecided voters" (whomever those idiots are).

Just like why she had an email server in her home (which everyone should have) because her husband knows damn well about the six month limit where any government agency can read your email without a warrant, which is why he set it up in the first place.

It's a shame she is the only realistic presidential candidate and the only one out of all on both sides who I'd want picking the next few supreme court judges.

Everything else coming out of her is basically going to be whatever she thinks is going to get her elected, just like every other candidate.

Oh and she'll be the fourth president residing over our war in Afganistan - certainly we'll "win" any one of these years, or decades and when we finally do leave, certainly it won't revert back to what it was before like Iraq, right?
