> For Node.js core APIs, there is a deprecation strategy that requires at least one major version cycle before anything can be removed

Considering there was 52 days between one major version cycle that criteria isn't really useful; I'd expect a timeframe more than a version cycle.

> Changes in npm, on the other hand are a different story. Technically, npm is not part of Node core, it's a utility that we bundle with the core but it has it's own lifecycle, it's own process and it's own separate project. The "contract" between npm and node.js is still being worked out and this kind of feedback is extremely useful.

I really should have said the main issue is really just writing code with node and sharing it; node has essentially been given the responsibility of being a standard set of libraries for JavaScript on the server and having standard libraries change APIs, even minor, in less than 2 months is typically indicative of a language pre 1.0.

But I'm hopeful you're right and things should continue working in most respects, it's just the edge cases that worry me. I don't want to spend a ton of time developing something that ends up simply not working in the very next version without a good path of providing my code that works with both.

I have the Github-branded YubiKey, as well as another U2F FIDO key that I purchased last year from Plug-Up.

But now PlugUp web site, http://pu1.fr, redirects to a trendy, rebranded site that I can't get to work. So I don't know if that vendor exists anymore.

I am excited about YubiCo products. The key I have Just Works, looks and feels very well-made.

What's so indefensible about distributing drugs—meth in this case? If the defendant had been a doctor, and a customer^W patient said the right magic words about behavioral problems they were experiencing, desoxyn is legal to prescribe for ADHD.

I have no love for meth, and I have no love for street drugs with their unknown purity and potentially toxic adulterants, but asserting that the defendant is indefensible smacks of a pro-drug-war bias that mystifies me.

Why is it always women issues? There are men leftover too.

As I see it, men are leftover because they are passed over (by women) for "better men".

Women are leftover because they are passed over by men looking for "younger women".

So, to optimize mating, men need to work hard in their youth and establish themselves and women need to be VERY active in their partner hunt.

As harsh as it sounds, men juggle career and love. Some men succeed, some don't women are now being asked to do the same. Some women will succeed, some won't. I don't feel sorry.

This book has been released in its early access edition. Manning's Early Access Version, or MEAP, enables you to access a book chapter-by-chapter while it's being written and you get the final eBook as soon as it's finished.

Are you a new Java programmer, or planning to switch to Java? Have you been thinking about earning your first professional certification in Java?

1) Oracle is offering 20% discount on all its Java certifications (use code Java20-valid until 31 Dec, 2015) to book your exam with Pearsonvue.com.

2) Manning Publications is offering 50% discount on 'OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Certification' (use code mlgupta3), valid at www.manning.com/gupta3.

To prepare for this certification, you should understand Java and the exam itself. You need a structured approach to prepare for this exam.

This book includes a lot of hands-on code so that you get a hang of the exam topics. I've used a lot of images in this book. Visual representation of concepts will help you to understand the concepts better. The images also help you to retain the Java concepts, which is very important when you write the exam. I've also used a lot of analogies, to make it simpler for you to relate Java concepts to real world situations. Again, this helps in better understanding of Java concepts and recall when you write your exam.

I have created 'Twist in the Tale' exercises for all chapters in this book. These exercises use a modified version of existing code in a chapter and then they encourage you to determine implications of the modified code. As you know, small changes to code can make a big difference to its output. These exercises will help you to read all code in the exam very carefully.

During the MEAP (and later too), I'll answer questions related to this book, posted at Author's Forum, hosted at Manning's website. Please post your queries, comments and feedback. They are important to me.

Thanks.

With much respect,

Lately I've been becoming more mindful of how much my mental state and cognitive ability can vary depending on my mood, surroundings, etc.

I work in an individual, windowless office that can get quite warm. One thing I've learned lately is when I start to feel overwhelmed a 10 minute walk around my company's campus does wonders.

Fresh air, getting the blood circulating, and looking at something other than a computer screen. It's amazing what an impact the simple things can have.
Yes, but we are a) not growing, b) moving to greener energy sources. Compare with Africa and Asia exiting poverty with positive growth, lots of people, and little clean energy infrastructure.

I'm starting to think it's in our best interest to start building nuclear reactors pro bono all over Africa - you don't want them all to rise their standards of living by burning coal.

There is nothing inherently wrong with complexity. Complex things can be made to appear simple, usable and open too. It is just that, when it comes to software, we haven’t yet figured out a way of building complex systems that are beautiful (in a very broad sense of the term). Whenever we try to create anything complex in software it inevitably turns into a mess.

Also software engineering sounds unglamorous today and research in the field seems to have stalled. And therefore the craving for the simplicity of the Unix philosophy. Not that the Unix way of working actually solves the problems posed by software complexity, it just asks us to avoid complexity.
GP probably meant indefensible in the context of the law, not as a moral opinion. Defendant wasn't a doctor, customer wasn't a patient, and magic incantation was not uttered, therefore it was illegal under current laws.
It's not anywhere near that simple. The issue is that Congress amended §1391 to broaden the definition of a defendant's residence. The CAFC then interpreted the two statutory provisions together according to their plain wording.

Um, no. As someone who's dealt with supposed enriched solitary confinement (self-imposed) it doesn't work out. You still get mentally disordered. It's just a fact of life that humans have to socialize to stay relatively sane.
Considering that people like Musk want to finance it commercially (yes, really), this point may be moot; however...

The technology involved in going to mars will significantly advance (and cheapen) several areas that would otherwise be ignored. Currently we see SpaceX developing cost-saving technology such as landing rocket boosters and ramping up mass production.

In order to live on mars we would need specialized farming equipment, chemistry equipment, robots, interstellar transportation and communication, knowledge on how to terraform at a massive scale and so on. It would be a boon to numerous commercial interests and likely pay for itself and then some.
I think executive orders could fit the bill. Also, there's existing legislation which already covers that matter. Plus, you can add a limit to the delay of a bill if it's for the necessity of govt operations like appropriation bills.
> No. I'm saying that if the threat of human extinction is the GP's concern, a mission to Mars is very low on the list of solutions that will effectively mitigate that threat.

Why is that low on the list? What threat are you referring to? Extinction level events can't be generalized because there are a huge amount of them many of which could leave the planet uninhabitable so I'm not sure why you're not only generalizing them but making it sound as if it's an unlikely solution against an unknown list of problems.

> Colonizing Mars does not scale as a defense against an extinction event

Care to explain why? Considering there are a large list of known (and probably a larger list of unknown) possible extinction events, many of which could wipe out the entire human race almost instantly, off world makes the most sense as part of a system designed to ensure the human race can stay around forever (or at least past an extinction level event).

> any problems we might face on Earth will certainly be present on Mars

False depending on what this extinction level event is. There are a great many things that could make Earth less habitable than Mars (though most of them most likely temporary).

As a developer of 25 years in all my experience code that looked sloppy was indeed crappy at other layers other than appearance as well. A great developer takes as much pride in every letter of his code as any poet ever does. Moreso. If we get it wrong, it doesn't work. If we do, however it ALWAYS does work right. Beautiful in that way.

OK, here is an example.

I ran into the all too common Start Button not working issue:

https://www.techmesto.com/fix-start-menu-broken-windows-10-t...

After about three days I found out this was cause by me changing the location of the users Document and Setting folder, using the Location option as provided by Windows 10 itself.

To cut a long story short, DON'T TOUCH the location of that folder as it will break lots of things in Windows 10.

Also Windows 10 puts a new GUI layer over everything, so of course all your years of Windows knowledge is lost.

And here's another example of why that is just stupid.

There is a new GUI to create new user accounts and it is very easy to create new accounts, that is until the button stops working. You click on the button but nothing happens. No message, no nothing.

So when that happens what do you do?

You spend another two days searching, only to find the solution is to bypass the Windows 10 GUI and hit the old Windows layer using this bit of magic:

Open command prompt in Admin mode
control userpassword2

Running that command gives you the old Windows 7 user management dialog.

Finally, Windows 10 seems to have an annoying intermittent habit of not understanding focus and z-order.

You click on a button and nothing happens.

You click on the button again and nothing happens.

You click on the button a third time and this time you notice the task bar flicker, only to find you have three new instances all hiding behind the current application.

That seems to happen a lot in the Settings panels.

The main thing is work-release programs. Work-release is pretty effective, but due to funding issues only like 20% of inmates actually get it.

Your suggestion is really similar to "No Child Left Behind:" take a public service that is underperforming (most probably due to lack of funds) and cut its funding further if it doesn't improve. It's a very free-market idea that ignores that sometimes you have to pay more up front to get a desired result.

I know next to nothing about stock markets, but reading 'patio11's description made me think about two things:

- Doesn't this ask/bid matching sound very, very much like barter?

- If so, for the times when the market isn't liquid, couldn't they introduce... money? You know, to abstract over barter.

Sweet! Thanks for that information. Until my net connection becomes more reliable it's not really an option for me 24/7.

I think my costs would be a bit higher because Kimsufi/OVH/Hetzner are 300-400ms away from me, so the latency is a bit uncomfortable.

When I was in Canada, a Hetzner box was 200ms away and usable, but for ~$30 a month I only had a dual core box - a bit restrictive when doing large builds.

I disagree with that. Pipes seem to work in spite of plain text, being only made incredibly inefficient by it. A much better way is to send data structures through them (for which, btw. modern web is perfectly well-suited, with present JSON domination) - you can always render the data to text if you need, but you don't have to write arcane and bug-laden shotgun parsers with sed and awk because every step in UNIX polka means throwing away metadata.

Also: ditch plaintext for structured data and suddenly handling of other content becomes much, much easier, and they map perfectly to this model.
Yes, like that.

In all previous Windows you could select and application using the start menu, right click and use the send to option to create a desktop shortcut.

Windows 10 has no such option.

To create a shortcut in Windows 10 you have to use the option to open the folder in explorer and from there you can then create the desktop short-cut.
For formal appointments, you use your calendar software and enter your appointments in the local time zone. The software will automatically convert a 3:00 PM pacific-time appointment to your preferred time zone (Mountain Standard Time).

For informal appointments, you get used to "7:00 PM your time, 8:00 PM my time" for the 4 months. In rare cases you may get it backwards and you're off by two hours, but those errors are usually caught quickly.

The only time it's a real problem is when someone on the street asks you the time and you don't realize that you've put them off by an hour until you've walked away.
Eh, there is a lot to be missed from the 'net, yes; but from the web? Like what? I mean, even when we're generous, 'pre-dotcom-bubble' is 'pre-2000' - the web was crap back then.
That's perfectly valid. In fact I did a re-write of a favorite code, a few weeks ago. It's something a colleague and I are working on, and I explained to him that I no longer trusted the old code because it was such a mess.

Blabr currently supports pasting a string of values (space-separated, or comma+space-separated) into a table column. (Conversely, if you copy a table column to the clipboard, its values are stored in the clipboard as a comma+space-separated string.) We plan to expand this functionality to support other import/export formats, including CSV and JSON.

Meantime, you can use the numericjs library's parseCSV function. Here's a quick example:

> [...] you're missing an important fact: wealthy individuals have access to resources, like attorneys, accountants and financial advisers

This is less of a concern when non-accredited investors are investing alongside accredited investors under the same terms. I also think it's the duty of a platform to make sure unaccredited investors don't get unfair treatment.

> First, most Americans are currently not investing in the public markets[1], many because they don't have the money to.

True, but I'm not advocating that every American should invest in super-risky companies. Plenty of Americans (actually, folks from all over the world) definitely want to invest small amounts of money in companies they believe in and want to support. They try, but can't. If the investor limits magically went away tomorrow we'd see an order magnitude more money invested in startups on our platform.

Even though startup investing may not be right for everyone doesn't mean that most people should be legally prohibited from doing it. There are plenty of products I use in my life (personally and for business) that I would love to invest $100 in. I understand the risks, what's inherently wrong with me investing with 10k other people? There's a lot of potential issues with the _implementation_ of a platform (e.g. do investors get enough information? is there adverse selection?), but I don't think there's _inherent_ issue with all possible implementations.

> Second, there are plenty of publicly-traded vehicles that provide access to private market investments.

I didn't realize CSV Capital was publicly traded, that's great - thanks for pointing it out! Maybe I'll buy some shares.

> Are you referring to 506(c)?

No, I meant 506(b) earlier in 2013. The argument was that only companies desperate for money would resort to listing on a crowdfunding platform.

506(c) has a few problems that makes it a pretty weak and ineffective regulation. There isn't much upside in generally soliciting to accredited investors only to counteract the legal uncertainty with the way accredited verification was implemented.

The recidivism metric should be used as part of private prison bid selection and for determining whether the senior mgmt of a prison (warden etc) should be let go. Prisons with a bad metric should get focused attention to correct the problems (i.e. actually more money spent on them through hit-team style visits/supervision). Prisons with a good metric should get bonuses and public recognition.

A key legacy of no child left behind is that reducing funding as metrics fall is a very bad idea.
That demo was really nice to watch! One thing though, why does the "output" textarea show a list of values for kxx, (the y = kxx line early in) however when you make the table that dynamically computes values (editable cells table), you get a numeric result? Am I missing something here?
Thanks for bringing up another important point: today's prisons are rife with drugs. Won't be easy getting drugs in my prison, so everyone will come out clean.
