Yap, agree 100%. That is why I am a programmer.

Story time:

Growing up in the late 80's, early 90's I liked to take apart electronics. Biggest treat for me was finding an old TV or radio to disassemble.

Then I found out about computers. We got them at school for an "Informatics" course -- which is what they called "Computer Science". I thought those were great. The teacher let us play logic games on it for grades even -- Sokoban, Lemmings and others.

My mom saw that I liked computers and started saving money, even though we were pretty poor. She saved for a year, but didn't tell me then, on March 8, 1993 she bought me a Soviet ZX Spectrum clone. That was the best gift I ever received in terms on impact on my life since. The clone was pretty crappy with rubber buttons and it loaded everything from tape recorder. We connected it to our old black and white TV that still had vacuum tubes in it.

That computer helped me learn programming (had a C compiler, Pascal, assembly, lots of games) and English (since documentation, games and programs were all in English).

Fast forward many years later and programming is my day job and I still like it.
How can you tell if someone browses the web with JavaScript disabled?

Oh don't worry. They'll let you know. Any chance they get.
Curious why you didn't make this response to the OP? All you would have to do is change "a couple hundred" to "a couple"?
Actually, this joke is more about Soviet economy fixation on (covert in this case) military production instead of producing sufficient amount of so much awaited home appliances.

And this joke actually is interlinked to the main story.

Namely many of Soviet PC projects were motivated by the late requirement for the military factories to also produce a civil product.

Of course in the end all of it ended in the doom as these factories were not prepare to compete in high competitive open market environment and the market was flooded by cheap Taiwanese PC clones.
You think the internet is all in English? Seriously?
Some of those were initially. But by early 90's you could by cheap ZX Spectrum clones. I had one and we were more on the poor side than on the rich side.
For your source The victim has recently separated from the offender. That's the second half.

Note, the stat I quoted included women killing women not just women killing men. Men are also far more likely to kill an ex partner than woman.

As to the sourse, I was on a project dealing with violent crimes in the US army at the time. I remember being somewhat shocked but not the original material.

Edit: I can't seem to find the details, so I am willing to accept I am not recalling this correctly.

Huge interfaces are not how you do it. Little ones, each expressing a conceptual unit of the functionality. Loggable. MessageConsumer. Stuff like that, even if it only wraps one method. Make each major subsystem into an object, connect to it through the mini-interfaces it provides, and test its consumers by stubbing those mini-interfaces, not the whole object.
One can be anti-feminist without being anti-women. Some women are anti-feminist.

Awesome that you got the O1 without a lawyer, however I would recommend against it. Yes the amounts you quote are correct ($3-$8k) but compare that against your own cost of opportunity. Getting an RFE will set you back months. O1 is one of the most vague visas and it is important to work with someone that submits petitions for them on a regular basis
In languages that don't fully parse the dependencies (which Go does), that split uncouples "the implementation needs recompiling" from "all the dependencies need recompiling."
Candida is a common opportunistic infection in diabetes type 2, so there's a few ways in which correlations could be observed. The fungal infection could be a symptom of the underlying "type 3" diabetetes; or the CNS fungal infections could be more common in diabetic or pre-diabetic people, leading to AD.
"rediscover your sense of humour"

"Oh good, the "you didn't think this was funny therefore your sense of humor sucks" logic."

"That's taking it quite personally."

What do you even say to someone in this situation...?

But, just as the OP is entitled to an opinion, I'm entitled to say that his opinion is a bunch of horseshit. Sorry that this is so offensive to you?
Wow that's quite interesting. I've never gotten one if those so I don't know if it's new or I just never post anything interesting?!
How would it link to you? The DNA is useless by itself.
Climate variability, not cold, stymied agriculture until recently [pdf]
There has actually been a great deal of work trying to find the best predictors of generosity and trust; people who have grown up in free markets have more of both than do those who grew up in more socialist countries. Interestingly, the first people to make this finding were socialists who thought the games (such as 'the dictator game' and 'the ultimatum game') would show how socialism improved fellow-feeling, kindness, and understanding.

Mirador: a tool for visual exploration of complex datasets
This echoes some of my own experiences. Python (even CPython) waits on the network just as fast as Go (or anything else).

I've had good luck writing applications in Python, then profiling them and implementing critical sections that are CPU bound in C as modules. Any sections that are memory hogs can be converted to stream processors.

Lately I've started implementing the modules with Rust and the results are promising. It seems like a nice balance of developer productivity and application performance.
The easiest introduction I've seen is the Alice and Bob example in this paper,
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v510/n7506/full/nature1...
Plus the paper itself was pretty interesting
The article states that there were "several recent close calls involving remote-controlled drones and commercial aircraft" but provides no details. Anyone have links to more information?

I've heard of an issue, singular, with a NYC company flying drones too high and into controlled airspace, but wasn't aware that there had been any genuine close encounters between a plane and a drone.
You're struggling with some strong cognitive dissonance there. It is well known we are in a bubble. Everyone but Silicon Valley knows it.
Actually, nice thing about docker is you can build a compilation container (pre-built with all your C/C++ apps ready to go and shared amongst your coworkers), compile your extensions using that, and then only install them into your target container (sans compilation tools). It's a little more grunt work that way, but you get better control and reproducibility without the explosion in image sizes.
One big danger is assuming that the Pakistani state is some sort of monolithic entity - it isn't. The ISI is a state within the state, and there are significant sectarian movements and tribal loyalties on top of it, and that's without even getting into the nature of the efficacy (or lack thereof) of the governing apparatus across the country (ie, one big movement calls for working with the TTP, or the Pakistani Taliban).

In other words, is it possible that elements in the Pakistani state (read: ISI cells / divisions) and some personnel knew that Bin Laden was in Pakistan? Almost certainly yes.

Is it probable that it was known widely by the governing apparatus as a sort of defacto knowledge discussed at say, the cabinel level? I'd say that's unlikely.
I'm not suggesting lying, I'm suggesting using a broad definition of "negotiating"
Yeah, the quota is 10k of which about 3-4k a year is used. Extensions don't count against the quota and are renewable indefinitely.

Drawback is: non-permanent visa (so banks won't lend to you) & you can't have intent to stay (can't apply for greencard).
Celery is a task queue that supports scheduling as well, if you're using Python. Backed by several different brokers including Redis.
I agree, it's kind of a one-time affair too because if you ever need to add or change a word in a node, you're fcked and have to edit ascii to change borders and lines and what not. There are way better ways to spend your time than to draw an ascii diagram.
Are you implying that doctors have become more accepting of theories which challenge the status quo? Do you have any reason to believe things have gotten better?

Doctors still seem to prescribe blood pressure medication and low-salt diets to people with hypertension, depite the overwhelming number of studies which show that neither prescription has any impact on mortality rates. It doesn't look like they are particularly evidence-driven or self-aware as a profession.
That's not how correlations work.
It could link you to a surveillance photo and from there it'd match any photo ID you have via facial recognition.
At the very least, package metadata would reveal the approximation location you sent the sample from.
I would not recommend the E-3 for a founder. Technically it's allowed to set up a company & then extend an offer to yourself to fulfill the requirements of the visa, but it will count against you at renewal time (or if you want to apply for a greencard at a later date).
First, there are antifungal drugs that pass the BBB, with varying efficacy:

Second, antifungals have positively affected AD-like symptoms, though possibly through misdiagnosis.

Or as primary care giver they are exposed to the same environmental factors the sufferer is exposed to, but are generaly younger so more resistant until later life.
That seems to be the case as far back as medical history goes. New discoveries are sometimes dismissed or even laughed at by the establishment. Perhaps the skepticism is for good reason because there's so much quackery out there. But it seems that new medical ideas take a huge amount of effort to gain acceptance - even today.
Does anybody have some comments on the closing statements on Google's 10KB secret?

The way we do this is to have a base image that has already yum installed or pip installed all modules (non trivial, anyway) that our package needs. Then the docker image that needs to be rebuilt (that depends on the first one) is just a minimal pip install away.
Line by line refutation usually indicates argument for argument's sake. It is not uncommon for people to go in search of things to take issue with.
What proof do you have the article wasn't written for physicists, engineers or anyone else so technically trained?

This is the basis for not agreeing? If it is, then it seems you drew an assumption then formed an opinon that is contrary to many college level courses, texts, and teachings I've sat through where electricity is carefully described as the force alone.
If I write open-source code while on the tourist trip to the US does it count as 'working'? I understand you're not giving advice, just curious
It's too bad that no one is taking a risk on developing an entirely new desktop computer anymore.
This is almost as logical as when you implied that I must not know IT exists outside of two companies because I mentioned those two companies... (how did you manage to do this btw? I'm still in awe)

The idea that in the end, you not only think that your original point was rational, but you're being snarky and talking down to the person who simply said "I know lots of people in this industry and I've had the opposite opinion of the OP". You seem to get way too much enjoyment from being a snarky dickhead to strangers on the internet for this to be a result of anything other than some issues on your part. Hopefully you fix that.
A really interesting thing that isn't mentioned in the article, and I don't know that I've got all the facts right: is he being extradited to the U.S. for these crimes, while having never set foot in the country? Does that freak anyone else out?
Time for SolarWinds Users to Explore Their Strategic Alternatives
Hopefully someone from the government is reading this, and realizes it's time to simplify this bureaucratic process.
> It also makes diffs simpler to read.

I find that there's a pretty direct conflict between trying to keep diffs 'pretty' and the quality of the ever-growing code.

In my experience, code quality is only achieved and sustained by continual refactoring. When this continual refactoring attempts to satisfy easy-to-read diffs the objective stops being to simplify the code itself and rather to simplify the delta -- which limits/checks the simplicity the code can achieve.
Obviously icebergs don't have that much under the water

What do you mean, and in what sense is this obvious?
> display:table

The delicious irony is that CSS had to emulate the old table model to overcome its default layout deficiencies. And IIRC it still can't natively handle mixing relative and fixed widths, and consistent vertical centering.

> html tables never displayed identically

My bread and butter used to be slicing photoshop comps into websites. My table layouts were pixel perfect on every browser without hacks. I do agree there were a few things that had to be accomodated using &nbsp; and spacer gifs - but it was painless compared to elaborate and fragile CSS hacks.

I shouldn't still care about this stuff - I moved to IOS dev thank goodness - but I still nuture a burning hatred of CSS years later :)
The Capitalist Case for Leaner Finance
Lol, so if it's on Wikipedia it must be true and accurate. Nice. Hey, if it's on the Internet then it must be true.

I think it is reckless. A lot of young up and coming engineers perhaps use sparkfun for their high school electronics work might read this and come away with incorrect understanding of things making new material confusing or longer to understand.
Interesting, but is this a dead project? The Github repo hasn't been updated since 2011:

https://github.com/designbyfront/The-Goldilocks-Approach

Also, not seeing any details on browser compatibility. I'm assuming it will work with any devices that supports media queries.
Changing if/else sequences that cannot be written as switch/match constructs in that way is probably too rare to make this a good idea.
If you're willing to involve a friend for 30 seconds, get them to label pillboxes and make a note of which pillboxes were labelled.
I use Jenkins instead of cron. I get an rss feed of processes that exited with non-zero, it captures the output but doesn't e-mail it to me. This is totally not what it's designed for, but it is closer to what I want than cron is.
Hot Startup Theranos Dials Back Lab Tests at FDA’s Behest
Have an acquaintance working in USCIS, so heard all kinds of stories. Their own perspective is interesting as well. They are very pro-US, defending the borders and the law. Yet they at the same time they are very jaded about working in what seems like a beaurocracy full of incompetency and mismanagement.

Yeah, nah. Prove me wrong. I double dog dare you. Your answer must be cross and backwards compatible to count.
I like and use Ansible, but unfortunately I have always found the quality of the 3rd party software playbook (both on Galaxy and elsewhere) is not nearly as professional or comprehensive as equivalent Puppet or Chef ones. Hopefully people invest more time into this side of things now Red Hat is involved.

Interaction Design in VR: Valve's Lessons (GDC Europe 2015)
That's a good insight! At one point last year I found myself in the trap of playing 'delta golf', to the extent that I would leave extra {...} blocks around if it meant not having to de-dent a dozen statements.

It was definitely an unnecessary self-imposed constraint that grew out of an adversity to merge conflicts.
I tend to believe that many (likely most) of the people related to the parents anecdote where indeed ones who grew up in stable and loving households and were taught to be nice as the Soviet social system was relatively stable.
> Judge Denny Chin ruled in November 2013 that Google Books provides a public benefit and doesn’t harm authors.

I'm interested what kind of evidence played a role here. How does the judge determine it didn't harm authors, other than using a time machine?

Polish semiconductor company CEMI also made 8080 clone, MCY7880. die shot: http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/9525059000_1368820494.jpg

Amazingly there is a TV program from 1983 showing manufacturing process of this very CPU :o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHl6m93Hay0#t=24
From die shots and this program (showing different masks) it appears Polish version was almost a straight copy of the Intel, with small modifications (different feature sizes, additional debug pads).

Elwro, Polish calculator manufacturer, designed accounting system (Elwro 500/513/523) based on MCY7880, with 8-512KB ram, two 8 inch floppies, printer and a monitor made out of modified 12 inch _camping TV_ (Neptun 150) :))), all running CP/M 2.2 (pirated and translated to Polish).

Yields were terrible, not surprising when you watch this clip and see chemical baths done manually by flipping wafers in liquids like fries at a fast food restaurant :) Popularity of this computer system forced CEMI to import KR580VM80A from USSR, and encapsulate them with CEMI logo (to save face I guess). Few people decapped MCY7880, and you mostly find russian dies inside.
I'm confused. Writing a long, mean spirited rant about millions of faceless strangers is totally okay, but saying "I know lots of these strangers and I think the opposite is true" in the comments section is off topic? Soooo are we at a spot where its 100% ok to rip millions of strangers, but the second someone disagrees a mod gets upset and starts editing the discussion? This is bizarre.
I've been on polling boards in a much (much) smaller country

A different country. Different culture. Different people. Cannot extrapolate.
Theranos Continues Damage Control Messaging
Doctors are selected and trained to memorize insane amounts of facts, and how to match symptoms to facts. Updating those facts is hard since they're stored when the brain is young and still great at learning (there are refresher courses doctors are required to attend to keep their accreditation, but they lean heavily towards learning new facts, not changing existing ones).
Dragonlock Lets You Print Your Own RPG Dungeons
While we are on the subject, has anyone else really looked at the image of Obama in the situation room looking intently at the TV? The picture the Whitehouse put out looks like they put Obama's head on another persons body. Seriously, I'm not trying to change subjects, but there is a white collar that sort of appears behind and over his next, but doesn't actually fit with his head and body. I would love to know if anyone else bas noticed this?
"RFE process ("request for evidence" – when USCIS asks you to provide more information) always occurs"

this is not true. I got my O-1 visa without any RFE.
Yeah, how many times do we see tv and movies portray characters who report to not have had sex for "weeks" or "months" to be in a "dry spell" or as a "loser", or in need of some kind of sexual intervention.

The only time I've ever heard the media use "years" as the unit of time between sexual encounters is when the characters are enumerating the motivations for suing for divorces.
Let's say you had my DNA sample in your possession right now. You'd still have no idea who I am.
I just pre-ordered the i5/dGPU model in Australia. Ive been a mac user for at least 5 years and my current machine is a 15" Macbook Retina from mid 2012 and its is an EXCELLENT machine and works flawlessly.

What sold me on the SB was the pen, the slight increase in portability and the dedicated gpu. I was given a macbook air for work and I really noticed the weight difference between it and my 15" retina and I started considdering getting the new "Macbook" which is basically an air with retina, but living without a dgpu basically meant no more dota/sc2.

I also considered getting a surface pro 3 mainly because I love the pen, I have watched for years how different companies like 53 and Wacok have come out with over engineered "fingers" for the iPad! People clearly want to be able to draw and write on it, I think apple missed a HUGE opportunity here, specially since all the creative types favour apple.

However I am DREADING being stuck in Windows. The constant updates, the bugs, the lack of dev tools, lack of xcode, antiviruses, bloatware, no proper terminal... Sincerely worried I'll end up hating it.
I agree, but I think you mean "above a certain age".
It is criminal to make unauthorized disclosures of classified material. The numerous conflicts in the story suddenly make a lot more sense after taking that in to consideration.

This particular piece gives the Obama administration a tremendous pass by failing to mention what the made up narrative did to the Pakistani vaccination program.
Because a fake name doesn't do you much good when your DNA is similar to a related person's DNA who did use their real name.
This reminds me of https://docs.google.com/a/gravitant.com/document/d/199PqyG3U... on how you should only wake up engineers when there really is a problem. I'd suggest logging based on error messages -- though I get it, if a problem occurs upstream, you wouldn't know it unless you'd polled for it too, as a data point.

Similar reasoning to the Soviet's disposal of Hitler's corpse. So I guess we have a lot of conspiracies on the History Channel to look forward to.

Sometimes it turns out ok. Wasn't the Internet built for US military at first.
to clarify this comment:

"pedophile" refers to someone with primary sexual attraction to children, whether or not they act on that attraction.

Terms like "predator", "molester", and "abuser" refer to someone who takes sexual actions against children.

There is overlap between the groups, but they're not identical. There are celibate pedophiles, and pedophiles who have ordinary adult relationships and keep themselves away from children. And there are predators who aren't specifically attracted to children, but instead are attracted to the power imbalance.
You are mistaken. There is very compelling evidence that controlling hypertension reduces mortality.
Lobbyists yes, but not lawyers.
I think this is the best approach. If you transfer yourself as a manager or executive on L1A you can apply in EB1 category for Green Card. The EB1 category is current across all countries, meaning you can get your GC in around 3 to 6 months.

I would suggest
