I wasted a lot of weekends getting Docker or Vagrant to work so the rest of my team could follow what I was doing. After a few weeks of Google and outdated documentation, I decided to try out LXC and throw away all the other fancy tools. I went into each container and ran my provisioning script(s), updating them for each trick I stumble upon. My sanity is back now, and my team will clone the LXC repos for their development environment.

After a few nights of trying to get Docker to run on my work laptop, I figured there was an issue with Windows security as the VM would be created but Docker would fail to initialise. One of my colleagues said a CentOS worked for him. By then I had dumped Docker for Vagrant; which also had the same issues. I was now trying to figure out how to run Vagrant on Hyper-V as Vbox was acting up. I grew some grey hair those weekends. I'd rather be conservative with my time; use what works and wait for some of these tools to mature.
On the surface yes, in reality no. The only reason the road is built is to get the goods out of the mines. They extract the resources, leave and then there is no money to fund maintenance. Once again with no local jobs being created.
Ya, there is no substitute for fundamentals. If you don't have that down then docker is not gonna help. Like C++ it just makes it easier to shoot yourself in the foot harder.
Yeah, it's a fragment identifier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier) used to track shares/referrals.

It's a bit more difficult than just loading up an MITM and generating the certs; if they've pinned (which they have), you have to go a _bit_ deeper than _just_ using an MITM proxy.

I feel like we are confusing children with people that have actual gender identity issues.

My 5 year old can decide what her favorite color is, much less what gender she wants to be the rest of her life.
Not all parents who are opposed to common core are bad at math. My wife (a former high school biology, chemistry, and anatomy teacher, who was nationally recognized for her excellence in teaching) and me (typical aerospace industry engineering nerd) are definitely opposed to it because it reeks of the kind of overly specific, give-me-the-answer-in-this-exact-way-or-you-are-totally-wrong kind of instruction that we both loathed in school, taught by teachers who themselves tend to have poor understanding of mathematics. Common core seems to be a tremendous opportunity to cargo cult. Most defenses I have seen of Common Core seem to boil down to "we are education experts and therefore we know better than you", which I don't buy based on my own long personal history with education "experts". Specifically, this article [0] made my blood boil because of its conclusion.

In general, I believe you are correct that most parents who are opposed to the common core also don't understand mathematics, but that's just a symptom of the abysmal way that mathematics is taught[1]. Common core tries to fix this but it falls short because it doesn't actually try to address why children aren't performing well, just gives another way for things to things to go wrong.

Sunrise and sunset together will give you local noon (or local midnight). Local noon plus an accurate timepiece set to a known location will give you a time offset. Knowing your time offset is equivalent to knowing your longitude (which was the whole purpose behind the Harrison chronographs). You won't know it to a tremendous accuracy, since you can't get the exact moment of sunrise or sunset, just a vague idea, your position is likely to change between sunrise and sunset, and dead reckoning on a featureless sea under a featureless sky can only be so accurate. But it's knowing the difference between local time and a reference time that gets you longitude.

No, it would be the longitude. The average of sunrise and sunset will be local noon, and from that you get the longitude. To get the latitude you would need to see where the Sun rises and sets or see the stars, neither of which you could do very accurately under heavy cloud cover.

Indeed, OpenBSD is great at what it does and like Slackware on the Linux side, it isn't for everyone but it certainly is awesome in its own right.

The only technical limitation I've run into as far as using it as a daily driver OS, is that it can be a bit slow even on very fast hardware. It's simply not optimized for desktop use, though it is certainly usable with a few tweaks. It's great for older hardware too, where the speed issue is relative. In fact, I've found it to be a perfect fit for a couple of old laptops in my collection.

If you print 10x as much money, but it all goes into capital investment such that 10x as many goods are produced because of higher efficiency of production thanks to said capital you won't have rising prices. This is why the price of semiconductors and other mass produced goods have fallen even though the money supply has expanded significantly in recent years.

Similarly, if you destroy a country's infrastructure in a war and keep the amount of money the same, you'll have rising prices for what production is available.

The problem with most monetary systems is that the increased money is not well invested enough causing the supply of goods relative to the supply of money to become imbalanced thus raising prices. This is the difficult problem that the Chinese have to solve in their monetary expansion: channeling the money into productive uses instead of hoarding or capital consumption (e.g burning the furniture to keep warm).
I think the issue is one and the same, actually, and it's not really their problem, whether children or adult; it's ours and the way that we see them. Regardless of their age, if someone decides to act or dress like someone not of their physiological sex, who are we to judge them?

The parent in this article did the humane, considerate, and respectful thing in accepting Tom's decision, not only in the moment that the decision was made, but also in perpetuity.

(Precise details aside for post brevity...) The Boy Scouts long had a "no homosexuals" policy alongside its "no females" policy, both in place largely because putting pre- and pubescent boys into a situation where possible/probable sexual attraction (wanted or not) from either gender is undesirable, uncomfortable, illegal, or otherwise problematic. Of late, these policies are being eviscerated - officially allowing problems many parents do not want their children at risk of facing.

Just my experience: My wife worked in contact with a child that, years later, happend to be one of the earliest officialy recognized trangender of the country at the age of nine.

My wife realized this child was a transgender, very probably earlier than their parents. She saw it clearly in the behaviour, preferences, movements. Is not that someone asked the child about it, but that the child acts and strongly feels so.
Funny, I still have all that exact test equipment shown in the photos, with the exception of the meter in the upper right.
At 5, one of my kids loved to flirt with the girls. My other son played with a girl who was a tomboy because they liked rough and tumble and both gave as good as they got.

There are so many ways that young kids can identify strong characteristics, even at 5 years old. I can't guarantee they won't change (although my kids haven't changed as far as I can recall).

The first incident I remember (while not gender related) was my son when he was 6 months old. He HATED scratchy fabric from the scarf from a bear. We had to cut the scarf and the tag off this bear. Over a decade later, he still has that same fussiness with fabrics. This tells me that some preferences are there from a very young age.

I could very well imagine some kids feeling at odds with their birth gender from a very young age.

> much less what gender she wants to be the rest of her life

But why are you assuming it's necessarily the rest of the child's life?

The whole point of the current legal and medical structure using hormone blockers is to delay actually-permanent decisions to the point where (a) the child is legally competent to make a life decision like that and (b) the child has shown to the satisfaction of parents and medical professionals that they won't regret the decision.
Yup I got the Up24 and it worked great for two months before it broke down physically. They shipped me a new Up 2 but the design of it is just so weird that it doesn't work. Customer support is ok, but not the best. Wouldn't trust their tech in the future.

I recently discovered they parse out "x or y" statements made in received messages and then make x and y quick reply options. I imagine the intelligent reply suggestions will only improve in time (analyzing prior conversation formats to predict and suggest what you might normally say anyways).

Approach to detect if end user press F5 or refresh button
It is important to detect if end user press F5 or refresh button is very important for popular single page application. Becasue we need at the time to redraw whole layout. Recently implement it in project with below code,

window.onbeforeunload = function () {
sessionStorage.setItem('refresh', true);
};

var isRefreshingPage = function () {
var oldState = sessionStorage.getItem('refresh');
sessionStorage.setItem('refresh', false);
return oldState == 'true';
};

Why? Bethesda has a history of making games with best in class modability and the tools they release for moders are fleshed out versions of what they use for designing the game (which usually takes a few months, FO4 tool expected early 2016).

Hell, with scripting extenders and graphics mods, some of their games like Morrowind can become nearly indistinguishable from modern AAA games nearly 13 years later. Bethesda knows this and I can't imagine them locking down anything that could be used to make their games better by their community for decades to come.

You are perpetuating an incorrect and dangerous view of depression by implying it only exists if you cannot function entirely.

How so? "classic symptom of depression is the inability to accomplish these tasks." seems to imply that depression means unable to meet with friends or accomplish any task.

The Internet Dream is sadly not compatibile with profit-driven world. We had some good times back when it all begun, because then nobody besides techies cared. Now that the Internet is a money making machine, there are tons of incentives to make it worse and little to make it better.

In order to keep the corruption away, or maybe even limit it, all of us and our coworkers would have to start risking their livelihoods by torpedoing the insane ideas our managers and bosses have. I tried, and it's hard, and unless it's a collective action your boss won't listen to a lone techie telling him that this business idea of his is actually socially destructive and is abusing the users.

And that even doesn't begin to solve the problems of techies who went over to the dark side, who have both the profit-at-all-costs mindset and skills to pull it off.

Hi Pete, I used same approach somewhat successfully for a couple months. One suggestion on that front:

Might want to add a "Burns Depression Checklist" questionnaire to your daily polling, it's a single number that will reflect mood, easier for charting and trend analysis: http://healingheartscc.com/docs/first_steps/FS_DepressionQui...

If, and a big if, in a couple months you start to lose faith that you will never be able to make meaningful change to the "core" of what is leading to your depression, here is an alternative thought:

The you who you think you are "un-depressing" isn't really real. You may be largely, if not wholly, one giant movement of habit. And one key factor of habits is they don't really stand being reasoned with by your conscious mind. If you explore this and come to find it true, then the game becomes how to change habits that are not super constructive (ones you associate with depression). The game is won when you (aka your giant movement of habit) does the thing without your conscious mind ever coming into play. That's the key.

Sounds like you are having a tough time getting out of bed feeling motivated, this was my kryptonite too. Here is a superb strategy that worked for me, and works because it gets your thinking/conscious mind out of the path to success, as just described above.

Spoofing of GPS signals isn't generally the problem the US military is most concerned about. It's availability.

The assumption is that in any significant event, US space assets will be unavailable either momentarily or for some extended period. Chinese Anti-SAT weapons are one indicator that this is a likely avenue of attack for any weaker actor seeking to degrade our capabilities.

So, celestial navigation is a crude but workable substitute for GPS but it has the distinct advantage of being ancient and nearly impossible to impede unless you can change the weather or the positions of the heavenly objects.
