So they would stay in Hungary instead which already has more refugees per capita than Germany and is totally overwhelmed? Or in Greece which is in the middle of a crisis itself? How about Lebanon and Turkey where there are more than 10 times as much refugees, where refugees have no perspective of being able to work and where basic needs of life are not guaranteed.

Free speech is about the right to express oneself, it has nothing to with people not being allowed to disagree with you.
Eh, it seems pretty obvious IMO that college sports -- and most professional organized team sports -- are not feminist. Title IX was only passed in 1972. Even the ongoing Louisville prostitution scandal is a clue.

Or do you specifically object to her use of the term "Rapey"? Even then I disagree with your characterization.

Shrine – A new solution for handling file uploads in Ruby
That's the issue. Leaving people free to do what they want does not produce a system that is fair or stable.

Then again the alternative isn't too pretty either.
That's a strong "should". What would the cost of such an office be?
Her whole article made me uncomfortable. She's obviously extremely aggressive and on edge. Male or female, that's not the type of employee you want.

She's looking for slights and grievances wherever she can find them. She should have gone to her manager if "chicks" truly upset her. It would have been much more professional than taking to Tumblr and making issue public before he or the company have a chance to respond.
But you are always left with a waste product that is simply not going to be anything but a health hazard. So you cut down the nuclear waste with a 500,000 half-life to only having a 250,000 year half life. Congratulations.

How about finding a solution before making more problems.

HTML imports allow you to bundle HTML, CSS, and Script and import them in one step. ES6 only handles the script part. We very much love HTML Imports on the Polymer team and they aren't going anywhere for us.

I expect that when the ES6 modules loader spec is finalized it will be fully compatible with the underlying semantics of HTML imports, and they will work quite nicely together.
Yes, this point is the basis for 'public choice' theory.[1]

The levees in New Orleans were government built and maintained; should we not take the failures there into account before we rush to judge the private sector for Fukushima?[2] The other problem with blaming private actors for problems at Fukushima is that (as far as I can tell) they followed all the standards and regulations as required by the regulators responsible for public safety, which seems to indicate that if anyone was at fault, it was the government regulators.

There is just as much maintenance on xeriscape. The focus of the article is around cost centers that consume water, not the cost of a lawn.

I thought the the article did a good job as presenting two sides. Lawns relative to agriculture do not use up a lot of water. However, lawns do use a lot of water relative to other household usages.

I think it's meant as a rate measurement, not volume. They want readers to visualize spraying the reactor with 10 garden hoses as the rate of cooling needed in an emergency.
I'm not feminist either. I'm also not a misogynist or a rapist! The vast majority of the people playing college sports are normal, nice people (as with any general population). To label them "Rapey" goes beyond hyperbole.

I have no problem with hating sports, I hate sports. She can hate sports too, great! Claiming that college sports are for rapists is extremely unnerving.
I haven't used ruby but ive been writing python for many years and so the indentation-based syntax definitely something I enjoy. But that said I didn't even use coffeescript until I was forced to while working at a huge media company where the big project I worked on had the large client written in coffeescript... once I got used to working with it I think I enjoyed the clean code and productivity gains..

I guess your milage may vary though depending on what you're doing etc.
As many times as the world has come close to nuclear war and mutually assured destruction since the end of WW2, it's actually one of the most reassuring things about humanity that people refused orders to fire missiles every time.

I'm always reminded of "Talking to god..."[1] when I read about these close calls with nuclear weapons. The most important paragraph in the entire short story is the following: "The only ones who reach level two are those who learn to accept and to live with their most dangerous knowledge. Each and every individual in such a species must eventually become capable of destroying their entire species at any time. Yet they must learn to control themselves to the degree that they can survive even such deadly insight. And frankly, they’re the only ones we really want to see leaving their solar systems. Species that haven’t achieved that maturity could not be allowed to infect the rest of the universe, but fortunately that has never required my intervention. The knowledge always does the trick".

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. The stuff you are talking about is very complicated, and short of recommending you go read a bunch of textbooks front to back, I'd suggest just starting with some basic nutrition to get a foundation there, before getting into stuff like blood sugar + brain function.

This article will give you a good primer on nutrition with a focus on gaining weight:

The first line of the Guardian's article is:

"Bacon, ham and sausages rank alongside cigarettes as a major cause of cancer, the World Health Organisation has said, placing cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco."

Is that correct? If the WHO did indeed put these all into the same category, then I'm not sure this article is at fault. Should the author of this post instead take issue with how the WHO categorized these things?

Interesting. Farsi is not a major language in Syria; more people speak Kurdish than Farsi. Perhaps, and this is just a theory, that some of the refugees aren't actually coming from the Syrian civil war, but are instead attempting to simply take advantage of the largesse of the EU? If these refugees were actual refugees, they'd be in camps along the Turkish border and not applying for (and receiving) long term residency. The concept of refugee is that they go home after the hostilities. In this case, almost zero chance of that happening. It's shameful when adult men flee while many leave behind their wife and children. The women and kids ought to be the ones treated as refugees. The rest of them are simply cowards unwilling to fight for their own country.

Peanuts are legumes, and walnuts are tree nuts. People can be allergic to just legumes, or just tree nuts or both.

Within the tree nut family, some people can be allergic to just certain types such as cashew nuts because the proteins they're allergic differ to other tree nuts.
I think you're backwards. Random writes are LSM trees' forte because they can batch them. Sequential writes would be doable with a b-tree.

For MLB, IIRC the only exception is for Sunday night games on ESPN. All other national games are non-exclusive: while ESPN/TBS/Fox are broadcasting it nationally, the local stations are broadcasting as well, which can be streamed through the mlb.tv package. Sunday nights are the only games that are national-only, and so can't be streamed through mlb.tv.

Once the playoffs start though, all games are national only, and there are different rules, making the playoff games more difficult to stream.

The creativity that is generated by just thinking, and reading, and thinking, and trying to see how what you read can apply to other parts of your life, now just got completely lost. This led to a very stressful state, which was made even more stressful by the fact that I did not know what I was stressing about! My life did not change much, and I was even meditating!

I read this post hoping to learn more about what is described in these three sentences. How did meditation affect him, and why was that effect perceived as harmful.

Meditation is a set of practices. You can use different meditations practices to practice different habits. You will have different results if you practice paying attention to your thoughts versus thinking about love for those around you.

If you want to spend your life frantically thinking about your next business idea, and less time smelling the roses then spending 15 minutes a day practicing smelling the roses is probably a bad idea.

The benefits of meditation such as improved sleep, lower blood pressure, and longer life aren't magic. They are the results of a less frantic, slower paced, smell the roses type of life. It's your body shuffling resources from doing to being. It involves spending more resources on maintenance and less on keeping your body and mind going 24/7.
What gender are you when you're not in games?
No, they should stay in fucking Syria.

If they're so keen on western values such as democracy and freedom of religion, they should take up arms and fight for them, just like our ancestors did.

And if they're not keen on western values such as democracy and freedom of religion, they should stay the fuck out of the west.

The right to live in a peaceful, prosperous country is not automatic. For those of us in the west, our ancestors earned that right for us. For those in the Middle East -- well, they need to work hard now to earn that right for their descendants.

Is it fair that some are born in Europe and some are born in Syria? No. Is it fair that some are born human and some are born fish? No.
I also support receiving them, but it is a political game. It would have made more sense to help a much larger number closer to home in countries where we could help far more people for the same amounts of money and while putting them at less risk.

The problem is that a lot of the people talking about helping them closer to home have no intention of doing so - it's an excuse not to spend money at all. It is suddenly important to help them nearer to home now, when the problem is not "contained" anymore.

Having them come to the wealthier EU countries helps drive home the seriousness of the crisis in a completely different way. Most people in Europe seems to have had no understanding of how many people need help, and have had an easy time writing these crises of as something happening far away.

That's why this is a political game. On both sides.
There's a LOT of reading between the lines going on, here. Going from

Matt doesn’t feel comfortable around you. He’s worried that you either don’t like him for some reason, or you’re mad at him. He thinks maybe you’re upset about his recent promotion, because it means you’ll have to do more work to cover for his newfound absence on the team

What we’re really saying here is that your unreconcilable feelings toward my lack of enthusiasm for you as a person might distract you from getting your work done.

Seems like an enormous leap.

Here's some advice:

1. Take a breath.
2. Do not vent to your friends. They're your friends. Their job is to be your echo chamber, which is only going to heat you up instead of calming you down.
3. Take another breath.
4. Now try to come up with a rational, constructive way forward.

The simplest, most reasonable response to this little intervention by your manager is the most obvious: tell him you're surprised, that you have no problem with your co-worker's success, and that if there's concerns they're free to talk to you directly, as you didn't realize there was a problem in the first place.

Then move the hell on.

This is the other person's problem, not yours, and escalating it like this, turning it into some personal, angry vendetta, only makes things worse.

And before folks suggest I wouldn't offer this advice to a man in this situation, rest assured, I would. In fact, I've personally been on the other side of exchanges like this. It's incredibly easy to stew and vent and transform the exchange from a stupid misunderstanding into a personal vendetta, with them cast as villain and you cast as misunderstood victim. And god knows it feels good... how exhilarating is it to get self-righteously pissed off? It's very addictive. Dangerously so.

The solution, regardless of the genders involved, is to be mature, erring on the side of assuming it's a basic human misunderstanding.

It's part of being an adult in a world where not everyone else is.
What problem is this pointing out? Sexism, obviously.

And your response is another, classic example of the same problem; you're willing to give the guy in the story the benefit of the doubt while summarily dismissing the woman's complaint.

In other words, in a literal case of "he said, she said" you side with the male by default. Uncool.
Here's something about the real world: Things break. Shit happens. We can sit on a chair now and look back and point out all the things that could've been done better, and I honestly don't see the value in it.

When the World Trade Center was built, it was designed to withstand the impact of a common airplane at the time and remain structurally sound. The engineers didn't envision a 757 being flown into them, and so they fell. Does that mean they were engineered poorly too? 9/11 would've been prevented if we built additional structure around the WTC each year to accommodate newer, larger, heavier aircraft, but at what point do you rule safety cost as too high to be justified?

On the same note, Fukushima survived a storm massively larger than it was ever meant to. It still failed, but it did so in a way that prevented any direct deaths. As nuclear "disasters" go, I honestly don't even think Fukushima should be among them. Considering what COULD have happened, very little actually happened.

How about we just agree to say we got lucky this time and do better in the future?

I'm wondering how programmers who've made coding their life view newbies whose only experience is from a bootcamp.
We (tonicdev.com) experimented with both Polymer and React before settling on React. Doing things "the right way" in Polymer/WebComponents was just a mess. It did in fact remind me of the "old way" of doing things in Cocoa: AKA, accounting for every edge case with every appendChild or DOM mutation that could take place on your component. Having tried React's "API-less" approach of just re-rendering what you want given the params/sub-components, it was an absolute time sink that just offered no benefits.

Here is a question I asked back then: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25856324/iterating-throug...

You'll see in the answer the complexity around dealing with children that come and go (vs in React you'd actually write it declaratively once and be down with it -- kind of interesting that Polymer has so much "templaty" stuff and is ultimately less declarative than the pure JS approach React).

I'm not sure I understand. Did you censor this because of my comment or because of the thread?

The bigger issue is shilling...
In b-trees, there is an inherent tension in choosing a page size (or base). Larger pages are good for reads because of the higher branching factor (which is why we don't use binary trees). Smaller pages are good for random writes because you're rewriting less. This is why Tokutek claims their fractal trees are faster for reads than b-trees, because they can use larger pages without killing write performance.

Man Fails Paternity Test Because Unborn Twin Is the Biological Father of His Son
"People I meet jokingly suggest I must be on a watchlist. Humour tinged with the tiniest sliver of doubt. Others joke that they won’t play the game because they’ll be added to one. We like to believe that our behaviour isn’t affected, the panopticon has no hold over us, but there remains an insidious fear that our self-censorship is inescapable and manifest.

Should I google that word, or visit that site? Or use that encryption method? Or play that game?

Maybe not."

And this is exactly why totalitarian surveillance can't be allowed to metastasize any further. The mere existence of the capability to spy on people's thoughts causes self-censorship and conformity.
The thriving business of fossil smuggling
I find it amazing they offer a brilliant online streaming service but you have to be abroad (Gamepass - I'm UK based).

I pay something like 20GBP a month during football season and get every game live in HD via chromecast, iOS, Web or Android plus redzone. They evidently have the chops and infrastructure to do it but its all a question of running the oligolpoly with the broadcasting services in the US.
Ironically, NBC is already there. They stream their game a week, and the have individual player cameras and "tactical" cameras that offer a top-down view of the field. Of course, accessing any of this requires a cable TV login, so it's of limited use.

Other sports streaming services allow you to swap between home and away broadcasts (where there are two broadcasts) or fill in the radio broadcast track in place of the TV commentary trayck.
Economies of scale, eventual ending of some unnecessary zero-sum games (a single government doesn't need to maintain much military, nor it will end up in an arms race), getting rid of nationalism, tying people's identity to the whole planet as opposed to an arbitrary subset of it. I don't really see the benefits of keeping national sovereignty. One could think that we should've grown past it already.
No, I don't think so; I mixed up peanuts and hazelnuts. Sorry about that.
Slightly off-topic, pardon me. But, does someone have any good tips on how to remove pdf security?

Let me clarify why; I frequently come across datasheets (eg to flash memory ICs) that have security enabled for some strange reason. Nothing secret, just plainly downloaded from the Internet. I can open, and print, but not highlight or add remarks.

Existing solutions I've found so far are inadequate since they typically are either 'download this obscure-sounding executable', 'upload and convert on this sketchy possibly-malware-injecting-website', or resort to printing the entire thing to a new pdf document (eg via PDF creator) - but this makes text un-highlightable.

I don't mind anything involving hex-editing, some node.js or python-lib, or chanting and dancing, as long as it gets the job done.

I just want to be able to highlight and copy text :(
There's a lot of industrial waste out there where the half life is more like 10^32 years (if protons actually do decay).
The NFL's streaming offerings are why I pirate game streams and don't have a lick of remorse about it. The only option I have to legally stream games is to not only pay for the gamepass package, but also to have satellite TV installed.

I'd be happy to pay a few hundred bucks a year for HD streaming of games, but it's just not an option. The best I can get is streams of games after they've finished, which is pretty much worthless to me.
You realize there are meats that aren't processed? Fish, poultry and such are healthy and recommended.

Not sure how "fruits and vegetables does not significantly help reduce risk of cancer" is relevant. Do you only eat things if they reduce the risk of cancer?

Vegetables are healthy and will help you live longer (fruits are also good but are a bit high in sugar if you consume a lot).
Mostly composability. Assembling a web app from small custom and self contained components is a big difference.

Most of our ancestors did nothing to "earn that right" for us. The vast majority tried to go about their lives as before.

And a substantial number of "our" ancestors were part of messing up Syria and Iraq in the first place, going back to colonial times.
