Well, I had a hard time trying to get the feel of linking sheets. In the video it looks easier.

I don't know how it could be improved, but maybe it will be too difficult for common people (not that I am smarter than common people, I am dumb, if you could see the mess I did in my sheets here right now).
Yikes. Glad I live in Texas. Here, that would just be called "burglary".

AFAIK, right now, there's no convenient S3 desktop client that makes it trivial to automatically mirror and share folders, much less make client-side encryption of files trivial on top of all of the above. IMHO, that's a very viable niche... User experience matters – it's not solely about cost.

Also, about n-crypted cloud – last time I looked, the file size limit was 150 MB – that kills the utility for my team, but it's still a decent option from my experience...
Improved, maybe, but the fundamental problem is at the beginning. If we had a need for concert violinists, encouraging college students to take up violin is pretty late in the game. We need a technical prodigies and the people who can start late are few and far between.
Interesting --- I can pretty much look at a review from across the room and discriminate good from bad based on paragraph structure and the distribution of capital letters. If it looks like paragraphs you would see on the page of a book, it's probably well-reasoned enough to agree or disagree with. If it's ragged, with irregular capitalization, it rarely contains meaningful content. There's nothing there to evaluate.
And they can sell your stuff after 60 days!

> If you simply are creating internal tools for a business to use and don't care about aesthetics or having great control/UX experience, Kendo is possibly an easy hand held solution for your company. On the other hand, the type of company who has this as a goal is likely a terrible company to work for and will not lead to very interesting work.
Good catch. :)

I was thinking about Judith Butler. Philosophist, gender theorist and published author. I read her "Gender Trouble" to a bout halfway. It occurred to me that she might not really recognize that some women might be genuinely straight. It explained the tone of the book bit too well. Also my queer ex-roommate also expected everybody appearing straight to just be closeted. These are individuals who really should understand that sexuality comes in all colors of rainbow.
My personal view is that my race doesn't matter for the vast majority of job functions. It's literally never mattered for me. I have no magical non-Indian perspective on statistics or algorithms.

But yes, if different races do behave differently, it's valid question to ask whether you actually want that different behavior. As a silly hypothetical to illustrate the point, humans and leopards behave differently. Turns out one of them is a lot worse for the office environment than the other.

If you want to argue that A != B, you are explicitly allowing for the possibility that A < B. So some argument is necessary why that isn't the case.

But again - I think A == B, which I guess makes me racist.

In CSS they're referred to as "Vendor Prefixes": https://wiki.csswg.org/spec/vendor-prefixes

Regardless of usage in normal English, in the context of web browsers "Vendor" seem to be the correct terminology.
in this case there is no reason to do that and you lose all possibilities of using cache if that is desirable

GET /users/@me/accounts/:id --> specific user account
GET /users/@me/accounts --> all user accounts

would suffice and would read naturally , it would also give you ability for other user with appropriate credentials (admin kind) to see some other user account information

Related: has anyone written reviews of car USB ports, what devices they're capable of charging, and workarounds for charging higher-current devices? Many car USB ports have failure modes similar to those documented in these reviews, and they can't actually deliver high current for charging high-end smartphones, let alone tablets and laptops.
Looks really cool. Thanks for sharing!

I think what Uberneo is asking is whether Parallec would handle the html parsing like Scrapy. I believe the answer is no. You wouldn't want to slow down Parallec with parsing though, you would rather send the html output to some other process for that, right?
Initially I was surprised Swift, a new language, came before JavaScript. But after thinking about it you have to have it for iOS integration.

It's too bad their JavaScript SDK isn't ready yet but making HTTP calls from JavaScript is dead simple so that's not the worst thing.

Overall looks like a good set of priorities for what SDKs got done first.
The author mentioned unfair, non-technical criteria being applied to candidates, with the effect being that talented minority engineers were being filtered out of the hiring pipeline.
It's unfortunate that this is tied to AWS, while the industry is moving towards a cloud agnostic approach to hosting.

Yes I think this is heading in the right direction. "Willfully ignorant" Let's assume this person (the SVP) is very bright if only based on the fact he is an SVP at Twitter. So you know from experience that if he puts his mind to it he is capable of solving complex problems. Here's a problem you care about deeply and your super bright problem solving SVP comes back with such a flawed approach to tackle it. It would be disheartening.
Obviously you are misinformed, becuase ASP.NET MVC and Web API share the same Route Handler, heck, even I could make my own framework and use the same Route Handler, because it is a decoupled module, so, I invite you to learn more about the topic before making such ignorant statements.
That's lovely, and exactly the sort of thing a good company would do.

So many companies have a very short list of "approved" compatible devices and get ornery if you use something else; often those approved devices are unavailable under that exact product name or number and so you're left guessing as you replace stuff in two, three, or four years, which is actually when you're likely to find yourself needing to replace components like this. The very worst companies (ahem, Apple) only validate their own devices for inter-operation with their products, and act as though using something else would be the pinnacle of recklessness. Some even threaten it'll void the warranty (which is actually not legal in many cases, but companies do it anyway).

The fact that someone from Google is doing this in a non-Google location for the benefit of the standard and of their customers is just really nice. Certainly, it is in their best interest to have their devices behave reliably and not be damaged by shoddy third party devices; and so Google does benefit. And, yet, many companies just don't see it that way and are willing to screw over their customers just to get that extra few bucks after the sale for accessories that could just as readily be provided by third parties (and often third parties offer more variety, making them more fit for purpose in some cases).

In short, I've lost a lot of trust for Google over the years (mostly as marketing and violation of privacy became their primary revenue sources), but this is a good thing, for the consumer, for the industry (standards are great! implementing standards poorly is bad!), and for Google.
Hyperloop will transform labor markets says former Cisco president
This is a really useful tool. A related project, PetitParser, makes it fairly straight-forward to turn a grammar definition into a working parser and mapping that data straight into Mondrian is simple. I have a mostly working Python parser already and I've only spent an hour at lunch and a short break on it. Can't wait to get this going tonight... something I've wanted for a while!

update Spelling, grammar
This concern pops up every once in a while because people like to put it out of context. Most operating systems don't allow any way to poll for file events in a specific folder only, so you either keep looping through all files in the folder looking for changes which would be an annoying resource hog or you get all events and ignore changes that don't occur in the folder of interest. It's completely fair to say that any installed application can do whatever it wants so you are concerned, but the touching files part is just people wanting to complain.

If you are not capable of criticizing a bad idea without violating a CoC, you might just want to take a look at your communication style. They all amount to "please do not be a complete and utter asshole to other people", and I think that's a reasonable request to make.

And no, civility is not the least important part. It matters a lot in day-to-day work. Many of us really are not interested in shouting matches as part of what we do.

Part of that is that when you disagree with an idea, you voice what the actual issue is. "This idea is crap" helps nobody, except allowing a single person (the crap yeller) to move on with their lives.

"This is a bad idea, and here's why" is a much more useful response, because the other person actually learns something, and presumably grows as a developer. They'll hopefully not make the same mistake again. This latter approach has a multiplicative component - valid ideas spread through the group. The yelling approach does nothing but alienate further contributors.

As for your suggestion to just "ignore jerks" - no. They poison the culture. They actively exclude others with their behavior. And some of us get more jerks than others, and ignoring them takes a huge chunk of energy. And bystanders will still get to see all their jerkitude, because they don't know to ignore them yet.

Of course people violating a CoC will be approached in private. All it does is give people a definition of what's OK/not OK, and a defined way to deal with it. You don't discuss CoC violations on the actual mailing list, but OOB. Every CoC I've seen so far has a well-defined procedure for handling complaints, off-list.
The article quotes AAR spokesman Ed Greenburg as "We have been warning for years that the deadline was unworkable because the technology had to be developed from scratch."

Why does such technology need to be developed from scratch? Positive Train Control sounds very similar to the in-cab signalling schemes (European Train Control System) in use in Europe on the Eurostar and other high-speed lines, and is continuing to roll out on other lines, would adapting that technology not make a good start?
A bit stressful to read but amazing. I can't imagine having to endure surgeries where there is a relatively large risk that you won't wake up. If you do wake up there can be malfunctions in the device that can flip you off like a light switch. One patient remarked "I have never felt so good" then a short time later died due to a motor malfunction.
I agree, but socioeconomic class is already highly correlated with race (and sometimes gender), leading to race being used as a possible signal for class.

I think their point was that passive racial biases lead to class differences that can't be summed up in a hypothetical comparison.
I don't think they have to put something on every (railroad) car. I think they have to put something on every engine, and on every switch. What they put on every switch has to talk to a network. There's a lot of switches, and some of those switches are in pretty remote places.

> Positive Track Control is the train safety technology at issue here.

I believe it's Positive Train Control.

> The government can't make it happen by creating a regulation and a deadline.

Very much true, and a big surprise to too many regulators.
Amazon not bothering to separate out engineering from their fulfillment centers (it's in the chart).

Granted, that isn't by the author, but it shows a company trying to dodge the diversity issue.
Unlike bugs, you are not triaging all products on Amazon together. If I search for a certain type of USB cable, I expect to see 5 star products. I'm not disturbed that Spirited Away is also rated 5 stars. I'm not confused and decide to buy a great film instead of a cable.
How is someone who was more likely to be harassed by LEO's going to have a different outlook on the engineering/programming of an internet-based social media service? Not buying it. Is it more diverse? Sure. Does it matter at all for the task they are performing? I don't see how it does.

>(sidenote: I was recently told by a black guy that African American is worse than black when used as an identifier)

For some - it's putting the `African` before the `American`. For others, it is putting `African` at all (not all blacks identify or hail from Africa). Ultimately, offense is taken and not given. You'll also find people who take offense at being called `black` over `African American`.

Either way - I don't think you need to justify your use of calling them `black`, at least in this context.
Yeah, ubuntu has always spread itself too thin, while neglecting bugfixing on its core products.
The 202 ran out "galleys", photo paper maybe eight inches wide. The typical workflow was a) typesetter at a keyboard enters the file, b) program maybe tidies the file up for hyphenation & justification, c) galley run out and proofread, d) corrections entered if needed, e) galleys cut up and pasted onto cardboard pages, f) photographic negatives made from cardboard pages, g) lithographic plates made from the negatives, h) the pages printed.

Items c and d could repeat a couple of times as necessary, and the customer usually had a look at the product as well ("bluelines" produced from the negatives).
"As we continued the discussion, he suggested I create a tool to analyze candidates last names to classify their ethnicity."

Tisk. Tisk. It's been well documented that these tools are used to weed out ethnicities.
> There's nothing RESTful about making more HTTP calls. There's no reason that there can't be representations of a resource in a RESTful API that happen to include, in the representation rather than by reference, representations of subresources.

Sub resources sure but I'm not talking about sub resources because sub resources are dead easy. This is more of a "oh we should also display resource X, Y and Z in these different spots".

If you want to be really "RESTful", TYPICALLY (and I say typically because I think every developer has a different definition of REST, lol), your URLs only align to resources so joining resources means multiple calls.

Google has an interesting solution for batch HTTP requests that could kinda be used in a way to batch RESTful requests but it's not the most intuitive. https://developers.google.com/drive/web/batch

That's an ad hominem attack of the exact kind that (I'm guessing) jonesb6 would argue against. If you have some concrete non-racist criticism of jonesb6's post let's hear it. Ideas should be judged on their own merits not the skin color of the originator ... much like Twitter VPs.

What's the black perspective on how to better serve people who are in ferguson?
Basically, those 2 populations exist in different economies, even if they share the same physical space:

1. US tax code makes very expensive to have people in the payroll. This was originally intended to incentivize mechanization and later automation, but shady employers can exploit the rules by paying cash-only to illegal immigrants and save a lot of money, even if their take home pay is equal or better than that of citizens.

2. It is very expensive to raise a family while complying with US rules. You can have your children taken away if you fail to comply with any of that. Many illegal immigrants shortcut through that issue by leaving their families behind and living like frugal single men. Even those that immigrate as full families are already used to breaking the rules, and since they already face deportation if caught they do not fear doing without with "necessities" like cars, up-to-code housing, child care, etc.

3. Communities matter a lot. Poor citizens are every man for his own more often than not. Arriving illegal immigrants, typically in their teens or early twenties, usually can count on having relatives or former neighbors take care of their needs (which amount to little beyond room&board) while they find their footing in the country. They will later pay it forward.
> I didn't realize companies practiced affirmative action like this.

I'm surprised that you're surprised.
Which sector of the economy do you work in? Apply your statement to that and see if you still agree.
literally never discussed the idea of a quota in this particular thread, so you're jumping to conclusions here.
> and a price "boosted only by the float" is no different from a price boosted by anything else

But the float is much smaller than the total volume of the fraud. If MMM is doing $10b of fraud a year, then it's not boosting Bitcoin's marketcap by $10b as one might naively guess ('$10b fraud drives Bitcoin price growth!' scream the headlines), it's boosting the price by much much less, by just the float (which could be more like $27m).

Trader in court guilty of taking advantage of losing HFT algo
One application is electronic circuit verification. A conceptual circuit diagram needs to be mapped to a specific geometry of components and conductive paths between them. The verification that the circuit diagram matches the layout is a graph isomorphism problem; you need to ensure that you can assign the pre-layout components to the ones in the specific layout, such that all the edges line up with those in the original diagram.
Yes - I'm treated very differently from most of my coworkers on account of race. I could give lots of mildly interesting examples - it certainly means my dating life is very different.

But how does it affect me on the job? I write quantitative software, and spend lots of time thinking about bayesian hierarchical models and multiple comparisons. You are suggesting I have some unique power. I'd really like to know how I can use this power.
You need only a cabal of >50% of the miners to agree to not build on any block that includes such a transaction.
As a side note, I dislike anti-discrimination laws. For example, the statistical way of proving discrimination probably only works well for certain kinds of jobs like unskilled labor. Limiting these laws to these kinds of jobs by default would probably be a good compromise.
Most real life instances of Graph Isomorphism are easily solved in polynomial time though...
As you say, they were very reliable. I had a lot to do with 202s over several years, and don't remember any problems that resulted from the 202 itself.

He is offended that he wasn't invited at various events involving African American leaders. I have black friends who would be offended if they were specifically invited to these events because they were African American.

This sums up my issue with this piece: at best, not all his wishes are necessarily shared by other people of color; at worst, some of the things he wants could actually be construed as racist("Just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm interested in Jesse Jackson" my friend often says.)
It looks ridiculously cool. We will definitely have to add this to Goo Create somehow, either as a fullscreen post-effect or as a special shader to apply to windows or other transparent objects.
Unfortunately it often takes a while for the problems with an item to shake out. In this case I used warranty service with the manufacturer which was hilariously bad.

Uber is the worst, as I understand it from others, having never used it. It sounds to me like Uber has a binary system with other ratings just to confuse you: "ding this driver and end his contract if he gets anymore ratings like this, or...don't."
