Indian/Pakistani Biryani is derived from Indian Pulao and not the Persian Beryani which is a meat patty with no rice.

Korma/Naan are turkish or central asian in origin.

Jalebi is semitic possibly arabic in origin.

Gulab Jamun in Persian and it spread both to India and the Arab world.
"People of color" generally means black people, dark-skinned Latinos, and Native Americans.

"Colored people" is not used because that was what was used by segregationist whites during Jim Crow (e.g. water fountains labeled "colored").
Unfortunately angels rarely do due-diligence. The fees to do this for a portfolio approach (which VC's model is) are much too high.
I'm not an outlier, I'm just experienced in using the Internet. Something one gains with time.

People do have similar patterns of thinking in the more familiar real world. Which area in the city you think is safer, and has more honest businesses - the clean one, with occasional company name banner, or that with every square meter of vertical surface taken by an ad?
An Atom feed, so I can plug this into my reader, would also be great.
I'm saying government will do it with the help of Uber. Just like they spy on people with the help of FB, Google etc. It's already happening with data.

Imagine you have those cars in China. Government just orders some company to spy on its users and then when certain people enters those cars, they will be steered towards some location where they can be arrested/tortured/killed, because they are enemies of the state. They can't get out of the car, because the locks are also controlled by algorithms.
Who knows, maybe they can release some poisonous gas while the person is inside of a car.

Many possibilities are there. Governments are getting much more powerful, while the average homo sapiens is the same like when there was no government.
The new plan sounds a lot like Redux.
In my opinion, if a language really wants to compete with Go in my space (devops/infrastructure), then it absolutely _must_ have static-linked binaries. This feature has been such a huge win, and I continue to appreciate it every time I go back to something else.

As far as I can tell Nim doesn't have statically-linked and compiled binaries out-of-the-box. Even if it wins in other language-specific features, Go will continue charging on in the infra space.
I don't see anything particularly wrong with Medium that might not be equally wrong of Wordpress or something similar. That being said, don't people who've generated an audience with a particular URL or platform want to keep that URL or platform? I write a Wordpress.com hosted blog at jakeseliger.com, for example, and lots of links point to jseliger.wordpress.com, and I wouldn't want to lose those readers by switching.

At the same time, I contribute to a self-hosted WP blog at seliger.com/blog. From my perspective neither seems dramatically better or worse. But both have years of traction.
This is a thoughtful article, but as usual with this subject, the comments after it are in many cases angry and conflicting. Once again, I'm reminded to never, ever write a blog post about nutrition and/or exercise. I'll do as the author suggests, and quietly "pick my own poison".
I agree with the article: It only makes sense NOT to pay.

There is absolutely nothing stopping them, after they receive $2K, from hitting you up again six months or a year from now for more money. In particular as they know you will pay blackmail, you make a better target than average. There's also nothing stopping other people from blackmailing you in a similar way, since the information is public and research is relatively easy.

My advice would be: Tell your spouse.

Then look at your online presence in general. Google yourself. If you have a public Facebook, Twitter, etc then maybe it is time to nix that. It won't stop them trying to blackmail you for being on the site, but it will limit the extended damage they can do with the information (e.g. calling your kids, calling your friends, etc).

Overall while I am no fan of adultery, I take an even dimmer view of blackmail.
So this is an old article. I wonder if his perception of Rust has changed since it's 1.0 debut.

> Rust is “C syntax” and Nim is Python-ish. Nim wins this one hands down for me.

This is always going to be a really personal choice for most people. I actually prefer all the clarity I get from the curly brackets.

> Nim has Exceptions with tracking (!) and Rust has explicit error handling via the return value. Personally… that feels like a big step backwards, much like error handling in Go. Again, for me, a clear win for Nim. I know others feel differently, but that is ok :)

Rust has made a plain distinction between expected error return behavior (like parse errors) that you can recover from, and panic! which is the closest thing to exceptions. If you come from languages and code bases that suffer from huge amounts of confusion b/c of things like RuntimeExceptions vs. CheckedExceptions vs. Errors (Java) it's a blessing to have strongly typed return values that require doing something with the error case.

Though, errors in rust could be easier to work with, they are a bit painful now. It looks like there is some stuff on the road map to do just this, based on a merge I saw recently.

> Rust is pushed by Mozilla, Nim is a grass root “true open source” language. Having a “backer” might be good, but I like grass root efforts since they tend to be more open and easier to participate in as a “full” member.

Mozilla is a saint for backing this effort. Love them or hate them, it's like Redhat's support of Linux. It's great that there are paychecks paying for this development.

The Rust community is really strong, and doesn't (IMO) suffer from the issues related to BDFL and has open transparent discussions around requested changes.
It is pretty good, but the community never seems to form. Maybe it is just the lisp NIH culture, maybe it is the way the projects are managed, but either way it doesn't make for production-ready software. You have to be able to support it yourself if you want to use it.
> Most humans have to avoid dairy; many must avoid wheat. Find out if you’re one of them.

And how do I find out if I have to avoid dairy or wheat ? Last year I stopped eating them for a couple of months but didn't see a notable difference in my general well being.
Wow thanks for the tips Nadya! We will add these in before the next update. You may want to add your real address though, as we'll email you when we make Twitter2Email better and/or faster. OR you can just bookmark it and check back everyday ;)
The amount of money you spend on a due diligence should be related to the size of the investment. Under 100K investment 5 to 10% should be enough to keep you out of trouble. A couple of hours (or a full day) of an expert in the field that you're going for would amount to maybe $1K to $3K depending on the field. Easy money for the expert and a very cheap insurance for someone putting down 20 to 100K of their hard earned money.

The funny thing is they don't bat an eye at spending that kind of money on a lawyer but to actually get a good look at the material it is suddenly 'a lot of money'.
When was the last time you tried to use a library computer?
Noted! I will make this more obvious before our next update. ^_^

Progressives are indeed better in this case.

Even though they are not big supporters of limited small government (which I favor), at least they are not actively trying to suppress black people and other non-white minorities -- instead they're fighting for their rights.

To me, justice is more important than small government.
hah. then you'll love this: this project was conceptually a port of a django tool i wrote ages ago: https://github.com/keredson/deseb

rather than call "./manage.py syncdb", call "./manage.py evolvedb" and changes to your models will be synced to your schema non-destructively. (ie: without dropping and re-building the table)
I would think that the problem they'd have if they didn't do this is that once the family got to know the care worker, they would offer them to work for them w/o Honor's involvement.

Same issue Homejoy had, but in this case, it's even more important who works for you.
Growing up, my parents watched pretty much only PBS and listened to NPR / classical music. Riding the bus for the first time in middle school, I was exposed to a lot of popular things (music) that felt very foreign. Any joke that referenced song lyrics or a particular actor was lost on me for a while. It's like making a meme-related joke to my parents: they weren't exposed to it, they don't get it. In many ways they don't feel like part of my "tribe" (nerds?).

I can certainly see how being exposed to (or immersed in) a different culture could affect your feeling of belonging in a different one.

For example, I didn't grow up listening to rap. If all of my coworkers listened to rap music, and talked about it in Slack or the like, I would feel almost completely lost. I appreciate flow, interesting lyrics, and the mastery that the artists have over words, but there are many layers of references to prior artists or prior songs that I am not at all familiar with, and didn't even realize existed until I started looking at the Genius.com lyrics for some songs I'd heard on the radio. So, some new song comes out that references Big Names in the industry, and I would not get them at all (or even know they were references to things) unless I were already familiar, or were dedicated to pursuing that art as an interest.

The same kind of thing applies for things like TV show references (Friends, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Family Guy, Spongebob, Star Trek, etc) or movies or comic books.
“There are not a lot of people of color in the Valley—and that, by itself, makes it kind of unwelcoming”

Oh I forgot, us Asians don't when it comes to people of color or diversity.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. You are delivering within a vertical, which means you have a good chance at being successful.

IoT, like BigData before it, is suffering from an overload of people building technology for the sake of technology. I have done a lot of hands-on work in the Remote Service side of IoT, implementing solutions for GE, the TSA, etc.

At no point did I ever encounter a customer who longingly cried out "Woe is me, is there a horizontal technology anywhere that kinda solves a piece of my problem?!".

I fear that as we follow down the hype curve in IoT over the next 24 months, the roadsides will be littered with interesting and functional platforms that failed to solve a business problem.

Companies like the one described above will continue to make money and solve problems without any of the press that comes along with each new IoT platform.
CNET and download used to be, sure. Maybe not so much anymore. I'm just saying official or not, if the checksum matches - it's not malicious. End of story.

You're correct though in that just randomly picking mirrors is a bad idea. I seriously doubt your average person is utilizing checksums.
It seems to me that the evidence is that in the 2010s, it is exceedingly difficult for a new language to break into what I call the "B-class language list" (they aren't in the Nobody Was Ever Fired For Choosing (Java/C#) set, but the languages you can use pretty much anywhere but Big Enterprise without anybody raising an eyebrow, like Python or Ruby) with some sort of serious corporate backing.

There hasn't even been much from the 200xs that has broken into that list. Looking at the Tiobe list for concreteness (yes, it may not be perfect but it isn't completely wrong, either, so close enough), you have to go to 14 to Swift to find something not from the 20th century. At 17 (Groovy) you debateably have something that wasn't pushed by a company (that's actually a complicated question), and all the way down to 21 to get to D to find the first thing that clearly comes from a single person anytime recently. (I won't go any farther because the list probably is getting to be just noise below that.)

I hypothesize that it is because we expect so much from our languages now. If you don't have a solution for serving web pages from your new language, don't even hope to make that list. But it could also be because developers are nervous about choosing something so obscure and having it just fade away when the competition that doesn't have that problem is already pretty good. Compared to 20 years ago we are spoiled for choice, so perhaps getting your head about the rest even in a niche is simply harder than it used to be. But I really don't know what it is.... but observationally, it seems to take a lot more than just "being a good language" nowadays to attain great success in the computer language area.

PS: This is the sort of thing that leads me to disagree strongly with the idea that the computer world moves quickly. When it requires more than half an average career for dominant language to shift, that's not "fast".
A nonlinear impact: evidences of causal effects of social media on market prices
African-Americans are a distinct ethnocultural group with their own cultural references, dialect, religious traditions, and so on (of course this doesn't apply to all black people; I'm talking about averages here.) "Black" in France is just a phenotype.

Progressive-leaning people in the US would typically be uncomfortable with the idea of "assimilating" Blacks because it implies that White Anglo-Saxon culture is (or should be) the default or standard, whereas in reality it has coexisted with Black culture in the same country for hundreds of years.
A profile of Mike Masnick of Techdirt
Cool, thanks! I'll do a little practice and then jump in to immersion at the start of my next vacation then. I just tried a little using an onscreen keyboard as a cheat, and it doesn't really feel all that different from learning chorded keyboard.

At least for me, I the sense of physical fatigue is about the stress of dealing with the higher degrees of freedom on a regular keyboard together with the location memory task. But needing a chorded keyboard seems like a bridge to far in a work environment.
More topically, parking is built because city planners and local and state laws require it. It isn't optional, developers can't choose to organically build less over time, it isn't a matter of choice, and it won't acquiesce into anything else.

And the predominance of parking everywhere in America didn't just happen. It was mandated by law.

First world cities with low parking requirements have much less than 5% as much parking as American cities do. Because that is what people will build voluntarily and pay for.
We will see a renaissance in FP, we are nearing the physical limit of how small a transistor can be. As businesses throw more CPUs at their problems we will see Languages like Elixir bubble up to the top to do what Ruby used to do. I think the next 5-10 years are going to be very exciting times to be an engineer.
People should start liking what you like, right?

In a shared space, balance and respect for other people's tolerances is the way forward.
Only internally. The public ISA is usually CISC. But the internal RISC-ness is why most RISC architectures died out. Once it happened, you got many of the benefits of both RISC and CISC.
Search has been updated! Go projects are under "Go", and there's on elixir project on there.
This is like those folks who say that Arabs can't be anti-semitic because Arabic is a Semitic language and the Arabic people are a Semitic people. Or that some people are anti-semitic because of their hostility towards Arabs.

At best, they're ignorant of the fact that the word "anti-semitic" is not defined literally but rather defined by the historical, sociological, cultural, and linguistic context in which it was minted and used over the intervening years.

But usually the folks who say those things tend to have other, totally unrelated problems with the Jewish people. They were just making a point about people's sloppy word usage — really!

So it is for "black" when used in the racial sense, at least in the US. It is not as simple as black = genetic ancestors from Africa.

Somehow I suspect you understand this...somehow.
I think you found out. You're one of the lucky ones.
If you noticed no difference, that seems like a good sign it might be alright for you. That said, based on people I know, those who should not be eating dairy or wheat get various levels of intestinal distress if they do; it's pretty obvious.

But most importantly, consult a doctor or other medical professional if you need more information.
I would love, love, love to see defense spending cut and have a chunk redirected toward non-defense R&D.

But it's too binary to argue that the production of high-tech defense systems (like planes and carriers) doesn't involve a large amount of R&D.
Wow, what an entitled position to have.
The whole system wouldn't have to sit on the blockchain - only the parts that are needed to put out a request. The only part that would need some thought is the initial location. One option would be to put out a general location, within 10 miles, then only give exact location to those who request it and have a proven record of being good drivers. That's another problem as well - how do you create a ratings system on the blockchain that can't be manipulated? Perhaps a page-rank style algorithm could do that.
Where are the playgrounds?
Do you also want to go to the kitchen and start bringing your own food and drinks? Getting up a few times, going there and asking if it's done. Imagine if you have dozens of people/kids running around getting food, maybe spilling it on the floor in the process, bothering people in the kitchen etc.
Are you better at scanning items and handling errors than someone who's been doing it for years? The same applies to waiters, cooks etc.
Bill Gates Expected to Create Billion-Dollar Fund for Clean Energy (2015)
You keep talking about "Blacks" vs. "real Americans" as though "real American" is defined as "belonging to White culture".

Blacks in the US are not a "less-American" minority. US culture is multipolar. Why would Blacks assimilate to White culture? Why not Whites assimilate to Black culture? To me this sounds like saying Europe is bad at integrating minorities because French people haven't become German or English yet.

A big difference is that Blacks have been in the US for hundreds of years, whereas they have only been in France in large numbers since after the war.
True, and I do think there is strong validity in blind user testing so as to better shape and improve initial designs to a more finished form.

However, I do think there is some merit in getting those in the actual field of functional and "good" design (as the author defines it) to weigh in on why precisely your design is just that. In my own UI/UX research, users all too often miss fully comprehending the painstaking research and work that goes into truly effective and good design.

I guess what my argument really is is that I would prefer to weigh more heavily the affirmation of those in the design field rather than a broad range of users with no particular ethos concerning design. Of course, who we end up designing for is the normal user, and what they think is indeed important. However, if 100 people said my design was good vs. hearing that from, say, Mike Matas, I would pick Mike Matas.
I follow sports almost for this reason alone.

Really couldn't care about the NBA, NHL, NFL, NCAA, etc, but it helps to at least understand the sports and the major teams and how the seasons are going.
Lactose intolerance is typically pretty easy to determine -- most people who are lactose intolerant will quickly notice when they suffer from gas, bloating, diarrhea etc. shortly after consuming dairy foods.

Wheat is a bit more complicated since there different potential issues that present differently. There's a good overview of celiac vs. gluten sensitivity vs. wheat allergy at http://gastro.ucla.edu/site.cfm?id=281 if you're interested.

Sounds like you're in the clear, though.
Why can't companies give every employee stocks or equity? Is $100 worth of stocks useless to someone on ~$40k annual income?
Wait, how does the national keyboard layout matter? Aren't you using the US layout when writing code?
So you are probably fine eating them.

I think the most genius part of the paleo diet movement was the naming of it.
We may not need bitcoin or ethereum to create a decentralized system, but do you have suggestions for better alternatives? Until then, we've got the blockchain as our tool for exploring generalized decentralized computing.
It's pretty different. It's not flux or flux-like. And almost every Redux example or tutorial does use ES6 or more. As far as the platform, I had an easier time learning ClojureScript and Leiningen than Gulp/Webpack/Babel.

Not saying that Redux isn't easier, though. It's very nice.
These Athletes’ Car Pranks Are Professional Grade – The Drive
Having spent the past 3 years growing a home care business, one of the biggest lessons early on was to focus on the caregivers. Almost all our caregivers are black, single women living at the poverty line. Anything you can do to help them with childcare, making ends meet some months, offering extra hours, etc. is life changing. Ultimately, the caregivers are your product.

I always wondered about companies like Honor. Their initial pitch was basically all existing home care companies are still in the stone ages, very inefficient, still using paper (typical SV storyline).

The reality is there are a few really well built SaaS companies (Clearcare is the one we use) that can do all the automated scheduling, compliance, billing, caregiver ratings, family portal, etc.

Elder care is a really tough business. Seniors are extremely susceptible to abuse and all kinds of things often go wrong. Dispatching caregivers through an app sounds like a nightmare.

Seems from the article these guys are beginning to learn the ropes of the business. I hope they figure it out. The growing number of seniors is going to be an incredible challenge.
Well, then I say it's fair to assume they are not considering the dwarf planets as planets. If they did, they would not have called it the ninth planet as you have pointed out.
Whole-food plant-based vegan here. Life is good. Energy is high.
Clojure and Scala? I know they are backed by companies, but those companies were founded to support them (ie. the companis grew with the language).

Elixir would be joining the B-class language really soon.
I tried to use it for targeting Android and Windows Phone around 4.3 time, and was put off for how little support it provides for mobile platforms.

It was less work to use Java, C++/CX and plain C++ than having to mimic native widgets with QML and having do my own OS wrappers. Plus the additional 30 MB.

Also the C++ widgets either didn't work on mobile or were 1:1 like the desktop version, e.g. file selector.

From the documentation, it doesn't seem it has improved much.
I am surprised their backend is written in closure. I would think it make hiring developers much harder (smaller group of people know it) and training people a lot harder. You can jump on to a project and learn enough go to fix bugs in a day or so (less than a week for sure). I am not sure the same could be said about closure.
The only ZipCars you'll find for ~$8/hour are hybrids. I live in Boston, and unless I book the car well in advance (or am willing to go well out of my way to get it), they're long gone. $10-13/hour is much more typical with what's available on a "right now and near me" basis.
Tennis is a puzzling sport - you can be up 5:0 and yet lose most of the following games as well as the match itself. Anyone that plays tennis knows about this "roller-coaster" (especially visible in WTA). "Unusual" is quite usual in tennis, honestly. You should take it into an account when you do stats. Obviously, people try to exploit this fact to make believable pre-determined matches, but it's really difficult to tell who is doing it, and who is simply more "unstable".
