Currently working as a full-stack software engineer developing back-end APIs and front-end features on a platform that makes heavy use of Node.js, Angular, and PostGreSQL. The work is interesting, but I'm looking for a change of environment and to work with some friendly, smart people.
>The ship started out with 38 torpedoes and no way to replace them (stated explicitly in dialogue!) and by the end of the show they had used something like 85 of them.

I get where you're coming from, and they definitely would have been better served to a) not say that, or b) resolve it at some later time. That said, part of what made Voyager interesting (to me) was that they had basically taken house cats and thrown them into the wild. In Federation space there was never a need or desire to make new photon torpedoes on the fly, but in the Delta quadrant for seven years they probably figure something out.
Back in 2002 when I was with NetApp we would show customers that NFS (Network Attached Storage) was faster than direct attach storage. Oddly it took a while to convince people of that. But it was very successful running Oracle over NFS in their "cloud" data center in Texas.

That said, as network speeds surpass what were previously internal system interconnect speeds it does make new design configurations possible. That said, the lack of predictability of those inter-connects makes things a bit more complex. If you're running stuff in AWS for example, and you are disk bound. Its probably worth your while to benchmark using a multidisk system running ZFS as a "local" NAS point for your disk storage. You might find that you can run a dozen or more instances of that single storage box for less money than a dozen machines with chunks of disk.
I think Odo is probably the best "outsider" character Star Trek has ever had. Data was always a little stiff - understandably. Seven of Nine was eye candy for the autistic crowd for the first few seasons. Odo actually got to do some complex stuff, after awhile - he didn't just have sex with a crew member a few episodes in and then totally ignore romance for five seasons.
Yeah and combined with El-Capitan I don't hear my fans anymore. Used to be fans running all day.
The best episodes of all 3 main Trek series (TNG, DS9, VOY) were, with few exceptions, bottle shows.

Trek at it's best:

1. Isn't afraid of being slow, talky, and philosophical (Sorry J.J.). TNG had many excellent episodes specifically because it was willing to risk being "boring", while DS9 evolved Trek into the homogeneous "action" formula that has dominated Voyager, most of Enterprise, and the recent movies.

2. Is a force for idealism. The captains of Star Trek are paragons of humanity, and are supposed to find the high ground when tackling murky issues. The original series featured the first on-screen interracial kiss. TNG dove into many thorny ethical issues. While TNG took a hard stance against torture, Enterprise portrayed it as a useful tool.

3. Boldy goes to new places. Star Trek (2009) did nothing new geographically, but at least it went off the reservation by destroying a storied and beloved Trek locale. Not everyone liked that, but at least it was daring. Into Darkness (2013) aped Khan badly, completely missing out on what made the original character and movie special. In general, the Trek movie franchise has been chasing Khan for too long, and needs to focus on other aspects of Trek.

4. Is smart about technology, and self consistent. Nerds pay attention to this stuff. Khan beaming directly from Earth to the Klingon homeworld functionally obliterated the vastness of space in the rebooted Trek universe. Trek doesn't need to blow previously imagined sci-fi tech out of all proportion to be interesting. It's strength, historically, has been inventing new technologies and examining their impact on humans. Is there anything in the new Trek movies that, in a few decades, we're going to be saying, "Hey, Trek predicted this!".

5. Doesn't solve everything by modifying the deflector dish. (Corollary to 4) Voyager, I'm looking at you. All of the series occasionally penned "tech" into their scripts to lazily magic their way out of situations. At some point this became standard practice and as much a part of the formula as always having at least a few minutes of "action trek", no matter how inappropriate it was to the episode. This is a crutch that should be used as sparingly as possible.

6. Features interesting, well-developed alien cultures. The original series may have debuted the Klingons, but it was TNG that fleshed them out into a living, breathing culture. TNG debuted the Cardassians and Bajorans, but DS9 benefited greatly from exploring the cultures of both these races. The formula of Voyager forced a return to shallow portrayals of "species of the week", and the show suffered greatly as a result.
The Math Myth [pdf]
Or it looks like the monster from 3 years ago that they found in the back closet.

Seriously I think I would have loved working on those shows, or really really hated. I can't decide which.
If ARM became a big platform for servers or workstations, RH would probably roll out a ARM variant within the week (could be they even have test versions floating around their internal network).

In particular as Fedora already have ARM versions across the board.

Which is mostly what used to be, 10 years ago. Closures, map, fold, etc. Before Haskell and Clojure like immutability and extra trimmings became fashionable...

In 1995 or even 2000 era LISP discussions you rarely if ever see those other concerns about FP that hipster functional programmers bring forward today.

(I guess it's also something that was helped by Moore's Law style speed development slowing down and the advancements in multicores...)

I provided personal anecdotes in response to other personal anecdotes. The point is to show that these types of arguments are flawed - of course I won't change my mind in response to others' anecdotes, when my own are different - will you?
Would you mind elaborating on "because I was in Ycombinator"? Typo or did something change during today?
The talk was that it was doomed, but from inside it was blindingly obvious that, "if we want a good encyclopedia in ten years, it's going to have to be a good Wikipedia." I said so at the time: http://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/277688.html

It's not a weird notion, considering it works fairly well for Hulu. Even their "commercial-free" tier features commercials on select episodes because "reasons"
Perpendicular Bisectors of a Triangle with D3.js
Your extreme example is only going to be backwards for a few months, then the surgeon's proper net worth is going to pull ahead. So I'm not sure that's really worth considering too much.

The fact that not everybody can go get an $800,000 mortgage is pretty much accounted for by the fact that you have to put down some sort of down payment, which translates into equity in the house. If you have an $800,000 mortgage then the purchase price for the house was probably $1 million or more, and if the value has held then that's at least $200,000 in net worth.

It's true that the owner stands to profit from any gains the price sees in the real estate market, but they also stand to suffer from any losses.

It really just makes no sense to count a house's value but not the (negative) value of the mortgage on it. For an extreme case in the other direction, someone with a $1 million house that has a $1 million mortgage on it (because, for example, they bought at a higher price and then prices fell) and who can barely afford their payments (perhaps because they took part in mortgage fraud, or just lost their job) should not be counted as wealthier than somebody with a $100,000 house and no debt.

Fortunately, it looks like the actual study does count debt and the wording in the article was just horrible.
Sure, that issue was prevalent with low-poly models but I doubt it's an issue with current model complexity. I basically wanted to understand how much of an improvement can I reasonably expect shall I decide to implement their algorithm.
This tactic of your phone as your phone, laptop, and desktop is a possible way that I see Microsoft gaining a substantial foothold in the mobile market through its corporate presence. If Microsoft had such a product, IT departments could give you a phone that you also use at your cubicle as your PC and replaces an alternative corporate sponsored phone. In many environments, you have to have a Windows machine, but their isn't enough lock-in for Android or iPhone to avoid being pushed out by a single solution.

Any ideas how can I join/ link my hostel to MOOC platforms (edx, coursera...)?
As action films, they were mediocre. But taking the surfaces of the characters without the depth of the characters - it was the worst sort of hipster irony. That scene in Into Darkness where they role-reversed Spock's death from Wrath of Khan? I wanted to beat JJ Abrams to death with a rock for that. It was awful. It completely ditched the concept of Spock's sacrifice and Kirk's love for his best friend. It was like a Halloween costume version of one of the greatest scenes in Star Trek history.

And just in general, it failed to move with any heart. Now, I'm broadly critical of JJ Abrams in general - I don't think he ever thinks through the consequences of his writing decisions, which is why his tv shows always jumped the shark in season 2. But Star Trek is just more proof that he doesn't get it, as a writer or as a fan.
Ha, that page. I haven't looked at it for years and years but it used to be one of my favorite examples of Wikipedia nonsense -- the page was created in order to have "Bohemian Rhapsody" on it: that was the entire purpose of its existence. But eventually a few editors decided "Bohemian Rhapsody" didn't count and started edit wars whenever someone tried to add it back in. Good times.
Just wanted to point out that PANDA actually doesn't need to know anything about the semantics of system calls, including ioctl. It builds on a whole-system emulator, and the things it records are hardware events (interrupts, memory mapped I/O, DMA, etc.). This is why you can record/replay Windows or any version of Linux without having to explicitly add support for those OSes.

Unfortunately we haven't implemented the gdb reverse debugging commands yet, so it's not as useful for debugging as it could be. Hopefully soon.
I think the changes get subtler. I also have been using it since 2002; it's really good to re-view what you can do as it's so easy to miss the plethora of subtle new features.

Moneythink | Chicago, IL

At Moneythink, we're building tech products that help build the habits American youth will need to become more financially capable. To equip students for these decisions, Moneythink trains college volunteers to mentor youth using a mobile technology suite designed to support students as they build the financial skills they need to reach their full potential. We're a 7-year old nonprofit that has backing from both small donors, medium-sized venture firms that fund nonprofits, institutions like Chase, AMEX, and governments at the state and city level. We're currently hiring for two positions:

1. Senior Android Engineer (ONSITE)

We believe that mobile apps are the best way to form healthy financial behaviors, and we’re looking for a Senior Android Engineer to help us build several new products and to expand our core mobile product. We’re looking for someone who can lead Android projects in both the Android SDK and React Native (but we know it's brand new - we'll learn it together!). You should be comfortable working with both in-house and external teams (we currently work every day with CauseLabs, a well-regarded Denver-based software lab.) You'd be our second in-house engineer, but in addition to the other in-house engineer, you'll work with 3 remote developers; that dev headcount will be maintained for the next 2-3 quarters but we'll gradually become an entirely in-house engineering team. Including engineering, we intend have a 5+ person in-house product team by the end of the year.

2. UI/UX Lead (REMOTE OK, ONSITE in Chicago or San Francisco)

Financial education is very hard to simply teach in a classroom, so we’re excited to bring on an experienced interaction and visual designer who can take our core app to the next level while also building new apps for our next user segments. We’re looking for a designer who has studied the discipline of user experience, has a robust visual design portfolio, and is excited to get in the field to understand the human context of our users. The ability to create mockups with clear requirements for engineering is important. The ability to do front end development in HTML/CSS/JS would be nice, but is not required.

No, the rest of the profile info is totally different. I agree, this is probably some troll recreating the account.
I can confirm I heard this sentiment echoed back then and I'm pretty sure that this is what the article title is referring to. That nobody here remembers this point of view surprises me, frankly.

Oh. I totally misread this thing. It's actually as clear as mud where, when, and how they're going to release it.

When I first read it I thought it was going to be US exclusive. Luckily I managed to calm down and re-read before I went on the rampage.
> The point is that we should all be deciding what we all need.

Gently, there. There's a big difference in practical outcome between "we've all decided that we need fairer rules" and "we've all decided that we need your stuff".

That's part of why the US isn't actually a democracy. There is wisdom in limiting people's ability to "decide what we all need".
Thank you Mozilla!!! As someone that programs in R. By making a it called rr R is now the second hardest to find stuff on Google. They really are going to hate looking for help when all the R searches come up.
Why is the comment by themetrician dead? (sibling to comment here) I don't understand.
I wasn't sure, so I'm glad I asked instead of assuming!

Anyway, I'm afraid I can't really help, I just don't know enough about all the various issues involved. The interpretation of temperature data seems to boil down to a whole bunch of "it's complicated." I lean heavily towards the people who say "it's complicated, but when you analyze it properly it shows warming" over the people who say "the data shows there is no warming" just because the latter tend to see calibration as a ploy and tend not to be well versed in the actual science, whereas the former is usually from people who study this stuff for a living. I will certainly admit that this is not the most solid approach, but it seems to be about the best a person can do without dedicating a significant part of your life to studying it in depth.
