You know what I've always wanted to see (and it's quite possible one exists; I have never actively searched for one)? A completely asynchronous programming language. Every single operation is carried out asynchronously; everything from addition to while loops.

Synchronization would be a nightmare, but I think it would be a fun exercise to see what you could do in that framework.

Friends of mine used "Create Your Own Programming Language" to get started learning about interpreters:
http://createyourproglang.com

I personally learned with SICP (But reading this book isn't just about interpreter, it will make you a better programmer and blow your mind in so many different ways. I wouldn't say it's for experts only, but this isn't the kind of book that beginners would get excited about. However, if someone is serious about improving as a developer, I can't think of a better book):
http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Interpretation-Computer-Prog...

Finally, (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)) by norvig is a great read if you're getting started with interpreter: http://norvig.com/lispy.html

* The reason the two last links are lisp related is because writing interpreter in Lisp is really straightforward (Since the code is the AST). Similarly, if you wanted to learn about memory management, a language like assembler or C might be more suited than say Python.

You're too polite. They did try that. There were minor skirmishes along the Soviet-Japanese border before WW2, they were close to an actual war. But the Japanese Army got smashed so that idea was scrapped.

The other faction vying for power then gained favor and they headed south.
This is a pretty interesting point because Germany had the exact same problem - with Hitler able to have the Enabling Act passed. It's a more extreme example because it allowed the Reichstag to vote themselves out of power in favour of Hitler, but it's interesting that Japan similarly had a constitutional power balancing problem.
Perhaps they are responding to the dissatisfaction of the users. You are right that we should try to make advertisement as polite as possible. I feel that at least 50% of the withdrawl came from the fact that they realize their Tiles is not an effective revenue model because putting ads on Tiles does not get enough traction. That's what I meant when I said Mozilla was doing it wrong. They are not in the position to do ads. Where else can they put ads and still being "polite"? I see so none in the browser space.

So is it a reasonable conclusion that welfare serves largely as a massive scale corporate subsidy based on this data?

If they've determined that welfare has statistically irrelevant impacts on the # of people participating in the labor force and the # of hours worked that would seem to imply that welfare recipients are still a needed part of the workforce. That would also lead one to believe that welfare is not allowing substantial lifestyle modification or opportunity for self-improvement.
The issue is more complex than digital access, although that would help a lot. The importance of a book may not be recognized until it is reviewed by experts, and experts are a rare resource. For example, very few people have knowledge about ancients documents in greek, latin, coptic, and related languages. Even if they had access to all libraries in the world it would take a long time to recognize what is new and what is just another copy of a well known book. To make matters even more complex, some books have been copied on top of even more ancient documents. Understanding when this happened and what was there is another difficult problem to solve.
I have this same problem. My husband and I were the perfect couple at first. We clicked right away and the chemistry was just crazy. But reality kicked in real soon and we started arguing a lot. Until now get into heavy arguments, where none of us is really listening and always out talk each other, until one day my husband left me it was like a dream, i beg and apologize for everything, he refuse for 1 year and 3 month, until i meet a man call doctor ebolo online who is a great spell caster he cast a spell for me and told me that my husband will come back in 48 hours to beg me to come home, to my greatest surprise my husband come after 2 days of the spell and told me he is sorry, am so happy that i meet doctor ebolo, if you need his help contact him on ebolospelltemple@gmail.com
> I hope this will be fixed once people are using tools like Kubernetes and are forced to think of containers as pieces of a larger system rather than short-sightedly "porting" their applications into a container.

Could you elaborate a bit? I don't see how the scheduler changes the contents of a container image.
Honestly, that's just about what's happened.. All of the companies in the biofuel world (KiOR, Solazyme, Amyris, Aurora, Algenol, Joule, Sapphire) spent a ton of money -- I think everyone on that list blew through >$100M -- to develop the technology and get to the pilot level. They all failed trying to commercialize.

The technology still exists in the form of IP held by the investors, so if the economics ever make sense again, it would be a much shorter route to commercialization than the first time around.

We absolutely have the ability to make large amounts of energy from algae, cyanobacteria, cellulose, etc. Given a few hundred million in CapEx to get a plant off the ground and a few tens of million in working capital, most of those companies break even with usable fuel at ~$150/bbl. If you relocated the facilities to a low-cost-of-living area and started with, say $1B, you could likely produce for ~$100/bbl. Unfortunately, the return will be very low and unstable based on global energy prices. The pitfalls of producing a volatile commodity.

Another random thought is that we were seeing immense progress in the quality of work out of Asia for engineering and construction for the facilities. It's expensive to put steel and concrete in the ground, shockingly so for many SV investors, but the quality was quickly improving out of China / Thailand for custom-engineered oil/gas processing equipment. Assuming this continues to improve, the future costs will be much lower.
I think it's far far far more likely that they intended for the declaration to arrive after the attacks, but with some amount of plausible deniability.
I'm sad to hear I did a poor job explaining the concepts, thank you for this honest review. Next time around, I'll see if I can be more clear.

One minor detail - while lexical sort is used in the conflict resolution algorithm it is only part of the equation (see https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/Conflict-Resolution-with-G... ). As I mentioned in my talk, lexical ordering is intentionally naive because I rely upon deterministic behavior (not PAXOS, RAFT, consensus, or gossip protocols) which guarantees convergence.
Common law from which US law descends has the right to self defence which is why until after a panic over the general strike the UK had fairly liberal laws around gun ownership.
> A patent is directed at skilled practitioners of the relevant arts, this document has sufficient detail to allow a programmer to implement the idea.

I haven't read the patent yet, but how specific is it? Because while it is one thing for the description to convey the general idea so that a skilled practitioner can make something similar, there's a big fat question of ambiguity - did I actually make the thing this patent describes or not? What exactly is the thing that's covered?

git add .

Add all modified files to be commited

I think this adds only files relative to the current path?

One I use from time to time is git add -p (-p stands for patch) , useful if you have a large set of changes, you keep forgetting to commit incrementally upfront, and you want to split your changes into one or more commits.

git checkout -b BRANCH_NAME will create a new branch locally.

Also, if you have time, look at pre-commit hook for your project :-) tired of running your favorite test harness plugin for your project manually or waiting for your Jenkins server to get the job?

Last, is git fetch vs git pull still a debate? I always use git fetch because that seems to be most preferable, fetch then rebase is the right path, most clean way to merge changes with some upstream / branch.
For one, the two were made from different accounts, which is suspicious by itself. If you submit from a single account, you generally can't trade against yourself.

Second, the buy and sell are the exact same price. So there's no legitimate reason to both buy and sell at the same price.
No, it is the idea that it is not an individual right that is new and novel. The individual right to possess weapons for self-defense predates the United States.
It's fantastic, an alternating mix of dry chemistry and hair-raising lab anecdotes.

For those who haven't read it: in the post-war early rocket period, government chemists could tell from basic stochiochemistry what mixtures might make good rocket fuels. But their other properties had to be tested experimentally. Especially hypergolicity and detonation resistance. There's a long subthread about red fuming nitric acid, which would make a great oxidiser once people could find a way of stopping it eating through stainless steel tanks.

I had a negative math experience as well. I skated by most of the time, never really learning the concepts.

I really learned calculus 1 after taking it during summer classes for the third time in college. Learning it really well did something for me. It gave me confidence that other subjects within math were within my reach as well. I am not a mathematician. My eyes glaze over when I see funny symbols. But I know I can learn it if I have to.

So my advice: Give yourself a really good chance to learn some core math concepts. It will do wonders for your confidence.
An interesting article. The point about 'access' being less of a thing now and both celebrities and companies using social media to share information to directly can also be seen with Nintendo, who went from sharing information to the media to releasing Nintendo Direct videos and letting the whole world get the news at the same time. Why give the press any power when your fans will share all the information anyway?

However, I really disagree with their picture of Kotaku. They (and Gawker in general) are not good journalists. They are clickbait writing, reader attacking bullies that thrive on lies and rumours. Was the blacklisting a bad thing? Maybe, but it couldn't have happened to better people.

Also, rather sad they just had to toss a GamerGate reference in there, or associate them with the industry. It's far, far more complex (and messed up) than that.

"Also be warned — I have no idea what I’m talking about. Take everything in this article with a grain of salt." - pretty much. I'm not sure whether the author thinks "platforms" even are. And the complaints that "linux cgroups aren't the entire platform so why call it containers" seem pedantic.

I don't see why "handling MySQL failover", "resource management", "upgrading OpenSSL" should all be handled by the same piece of software in any case.
I'm a little taken aback that a Government institution like NASA would even file patents and discourage open innovation. Does anybody know the reasons why they file patents? Are NASA's patents enforced and have they collected royalties?
Correct, Docker doesn't care what you run inside the container. You provide a command to run, and it runs it. That command may be your application server or a traditional init process which in turn will fork multiple children.

Docker does make it easier to follow an "application container" pattern, and that pattern avoids (with good reason) booting an entire traditional init system inside the container. But following that pattern is not mandatory. Not forcing too many patterns upon users all at once was part of the original Docker philosophy. Unfortunately that aspect was drowned in the cacophony as a few loud and passionate people interpreted Docker through the lens of their own favorite patterns.

In retrospect I wish we had been more assertive in reminding everyone to respect the philosophy behind Docker: that you can share tools with people without forcing everyone to use them in the same way as you.
> Do you have some confidence that the ECT worked for a reason other than placebo?

I found great relief from it that seemed distinctly different from before the ECT. I haven't found much reason to think about it more than that—I'm not in the business in prescribing treatment, but I'm grateful for what I did find. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar has an excellent description of the aftermath of the treatment that roughly aligned with my own, albeit I experienced it much slower than how it was depicted in the novel.

Maybe it was just me. However, if my feedback would help, I'd say that there was a lack of technical detail of the stuff mentioned. It was only covered from a superficial point of view, and many different complex issues where mentioned somehow together and lightly.

to

The former does not work if the disk has multiple partitions.

Also you may want to put that command before the dd, because most people will have to run it.
I've read the linked book[0] and you're right that the headline gets it wrong. It should have said that the decision to attack Pearl Harbor was the result of Face-saving among the Japanese military leadership. To summarize:

The US had embargoed Japan and was demanding that the army (IJA) withdraw to its pre-war Manchurian borders in China. The IJA needed American goods to prosecute the war but such withdrawal would result in an utter loss of face for the IJA.

The IJA instead proposed that the US and Dutch be attacked and goods be secured from American and Dutch colonies (Philippines and Indonesia) to fight the war in China. This would chiefly be a Naval war and thus executed by the IJN.

The IJA hoped to force the IJN to share in its loss of face by admitting it wasn't powerful enough to fight the USN. But the Admirals refused to publicly admit that they couldn't fight the USN (privately they lobbied the Emperor and his subordinates to intervene). Through this impasse between the service branches the Japanese government drifted towards a war they knew they couldn't win.

This article doesnt address what is useful as we migrate into the cloud. First, the data may be larger than any disk image in the cloud. The data could be distributed across hundreds of disks in disparate geographical locations. Plus there may be hundreds of process or services reading and modifying the data.

Ah, I see. The JS engine actually wasn't changed for Edge, just the rendering engine. Chakra has been around since 2009, and was used in IE9-11. It was one a wave of new JS engines developed in response to the release of Chrome/V8 which destroyed the previous generation of JS engines in terms of performance (I'm sure the various browser vendors would say they always planned to create faster JS engines, but there's no doubt that the release of Chrome/V8 in 2008 accelerated their efforts).
Sad that they don’t support it yet, I’d have loved to use it. It seems so simple and logical.

Title is a bit misleading. Looks like this patent actually expired quite a while ago, as it was filed in 1974 and granted in 1975. I think it would have expired 17 years from the date it issued, or Feb. 18, 1992.
Here are some additional factors to consider:

Number of people being irrelevant might mean that a welfare recipient doesn't work but enables someone else to work, or if someone doesn't get welfare, they work, but their support is withdrawn from someone else. It could also mean that the benefit is not enough for them to consider not working. That is to say that their ambitions are greater than merely surviving, the enabling of which is the foundational goal of a reasonable welfare program.

I think I would agree that welfare is a corporate subsidy in some sense, but it covers more people than corporations would without the subsidy, including people unable to work or for whom paid work is less beneficial than some uncompensated task.
For C++, the major speed improvement of modules would probably come with not having to parse a giant header (after preprocessing) again and again and again and again. That is not a problem ever in other languages, so comparison may be meaningless.
I've been reading Dower's"Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II" and I think embarrassment is a significant factor, though this is not exclusive with your explanations. While the nation as a whole may not exhibit signs of shame, the Japanese culture at the time seemed to encourage the direction of moral responsibility upwards.

So while (particularly) the need for oil can't be overstated in this case, I think that there was a degree of self-consciousness that DID characterize the actions of the upper military acting on pressure from those "beneath" them. I don't think the pressure was directly to attack, but there was enough power concentrated in the hands of the few that their decisions were allowed to be implemented rapidly and without much resistance.
And keeping slaves from rebelling, the main purpose of the second amendment.

Wal-Mart Sues Puerto Rico Over ‘Astonishing’ Tax Increases
My mother has a story - and some significant scars to back it up, about her time employed in the 70's at Litronix moving wafers from between the stepper, furnace, etching, etc in the era where you could still be in the same room as the wafer.

As this was the 70s, "occupational safety" didn't mean the same thing as it does today, so apparently the etching was done by hand. This involved putting on three layers of heavy gloves and dipping boats of wafers in some type of etching acid. My mother wasn't sure of the contents, but knew it involved extremely concentrated acids, which were shipped in daily because the couldn't be stored more than a few days in the glass bottles (!!!). As she described it, the HCl and HNO3 were easy to identify when you worked with them, because they cause intense burning - and scaring - if you splashed any on your arm.

At least one of the etching steps, though (maybe all? I'm not sure) used concentrated HF.

So this went fine, until my mother took off her gloves one day... and aw bone. Didn't even notice it. She sat with her hand under the DI faucet suggesting someone should probably call an ambulance. The paramedics wanted to amputate her hand immediate (on site). Instead, they were talked into trying to estimate how much acid actually actually made it's way to her hand, and spent the afternoon injecting various things to try to neutralize the HF.

Fortunately, it must have been a very small amount of acid, as she made a full recovery, albeit with a nasty scar on her finger. It wasn't even the worst thing that happened to her - she was a lot more concerned the day she discovered someone had used several full storage shelves (total an entire wall wide, floor to ceiling) to store the "empty" nitric acid bottles that were still full of very-nasty fumes. Shelves, that were a few feet from the (full) liquid O2 tanks. That warranted an immediate call to OSHA... from another building.

The industry is a lot safer than it once was.
