Relatedly, I have a 'nowplaying' commandline I use to capture whatever's on BBC 6 Music right now, since I listen when I'm working but don't pay attention to them saying who it is before the track:

ruby -e 'require "json"; require "net/http"; track=JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get_response(URI("http://polling.bbc.co.uk/radio/nowandnextservice/bbc_6music.json")).body)["message"]; puts %w(title artist).map{|k| track[k]}.join(", ")' | tee -a ~/music.txt

the json service there is what powers the now&next on the station's website. I'm sure that code could be neater, but just threw it together and it does the job.

I guess you could adapt this to add the current track to your Google Playlist.
I don't feel 10x means producing 10x as much code, it's getting 10x results, often with a lot of pragmatic approaches, like Alice does in your example.
Fun trick I learned with Chrome: Click a tab, then shift-click another tab. The tabs should darken, and if you drag them, they all move as a unit. Very handy when you have sessions that kind of diverged and you'd like to mentally separate them.
I wouldn't have a problem forbidding all companies from requiring an employee terminated involuntarily and without cause to train their own replacement before they are tossed out on their ear. Actually, I wouldn't even mind forbidding any work duties that were not typical prior to the notice of termination.

But that doesn't need to be done by the government. It seems like the sort of situation that a good collective bargaining agreement could handle. Such an oddity might guarantee a minimum severance package that is not contingent upon the employees symbolically cutting their own throats.

I believe that immigration law already requires an LCA to be filed for each non-temporary work location. If Cognizant intended to employ workers in California longer than 10 days, it would have to pay the prevailing California wage, not the prevailing New Jersey wage.

H1B workers already are "bound" to the area of the LCA. If the company wants to move them permanently, it has to file another LCA for them.

None of those requirements prevented this from happening.

Disney had a duty, which could not reasonably be delegated, to ensure that its contractor would be obeying the laws that Disney is expected to obey. If such a duty did not exist, there would be a huge, obvious loophole in the law that would allow anyone to break any law at will, just by creating a throwaway corporation to do it, and paying the skeleton crew a scapegoat bonus.
You would think, if you were being honest about it, that you could build into your app a "checkin at my garage" function that would allow you to prove that after each fair your driver followed the law and went back to their garage.

Well that is only due to the fact that there are limitations to a server-side only API.

A proper API done client side would look like bukkit, but have hooks into almost anything you could need. Look at GMod for example.

This is the correct answer. The example person is about 177cm and 110kg, i.e., a clearly fat person, trouble moving and likely some problems with breathing already. If he doesn't have a metabolical disorder, with that amount of body mass, it should be _really_ easy for him to drop weight by reducing calorie intake -- just by not constantly eating or drinking. But since he's used to eating like a pig, it's not so easy. And I'm not saying this to mock him, it's a fact of how his body has adapted to eating lots of calories.

A single Mars bar can contain the calorie count of half of a meal, which is why these people are not losing weight. After all, it's just a Mars bar!
Kanye West changes album title to ''Waves''Insists it's 'album of the Life
The people I know that have fallen in to the "entrepreneurship porn" trap all focus on the "no pressure, free time to other things, early retirement" based on the millions they'll earn. No one who's really fallen hard ("we're gonna be the next Facebook") is heading in that direction because they're interested in "creating jobs". And... they may say "working hard" but often the real hard stuff comes up... they fold anyway.

I've also known some successful entrepreneurs who aren't afraid of working hard, but even then, professional curiosity, a bug to 'build' and other factors were at play. No one's stated goals were ever "I want to create jobs". The goal is the business. Couple friends of mine run small businesses pulling in a few million/year. Each would be just as happy if they could do it with 5 employees vs 40 employees - "creating jobs" was not their goal - "solving a need in the market" was.

I guess you weren't around for the financial crisis of 2008/2009. The entire monetary system was under potential collapse and there would have been a severe price to pay.

You can't have houses lose 200k in value without severe repercussions to the economy around the world. House mortgages are connected to mortgage securities which are connected to pension funds, etc.

If we enter a massive deflationary period as you seem to think is good, then everyone will be holding cash and no one will be spending it because everything is going down in value. You can't get 20% dividend yields in a deflationary world.

Be careful what you wish for.
Hey, this is pretty sweet.

This is a simple alternative than the solution I wrote about here: https://allysonjulian.com/setting-up-docker-with-xhyve/ which uses docker-machine-driver-xhyve (https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve).

I've been trying to figure out how to deal with the env variables used by docker, and used a workaround ~/.profile (https://gist.github.com/astrohckr/efceb07887225cbc2ba2). Like the OP, running eval in every terminal session makes me a bit concerned as well.

Maybe Apple needs to do clearer segmentation between their pro and not-pro product lines?

When I first started using Macs seriously (~2008) the difference between iMacs, Mac Pros, the toy-like white MacBooks and the smooth unibody MacBooks was stark, in both appearance and performance. Now it's hard to tell the difference between the three different varieties of MacBook at a glance, especially the 13" models.

A part of it is that the biggest gains have been had at the bottom. 90% of people have no need for a powerful, dedicated GPU now. Going from an i5 to an i7 does what, exactly? 8GB of RAM is "good enough". Apple Music and Netflix et al mean that 256GB SSD is enough. The difference between "normal" and enthusiast hardware just doesn't mean a lot at the moment.

I think that's what has led to every flavor of Mac having samey specs.

I doubt that the demographics of Apple users have changed much in the almost-20 years since the colorful iMacs came out: creative pros and people who think Apples are "cool".
I'll admit to ignorance here. A poster above suggested NYC does not own the Rondout reservoir, another one said they do own two other reservoirs. If the city owns all of them, great. If there are some needed for the water supply, then they would have to be purchased.

Of course, all of this is on the level of fantasy, because it's not going to happen.

Insulin resistance is considered a medical condition. At first, prediabetes. Later, Type 2 diabetes.

There may indeed be differences in "normal" insulin response, but it probably doesn't make sense to label one end of that range as insulin resistant, insulin is a hormone that is deeply involved in energy metabolism. The failure to respond to it is a dysfunction.

How does research pay for itself? Naturally the results of the research could well be worth the time and money invested, even many times over if you're lucky, but that doesn't mean that it paid for itself. Somebody still has to pony up the dough to pay the scientists, lab assistants, equipment, time for them to figure out what they're doing, etc. None of it is free.
Here are some things that I think are "beautiful" about Lua:

[a] Here is the complete syntax of Lua:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#9

...compare that to Perl where there is no "complete syntax" of Perl. This shows how simple it is and thus it is easier to write tools for and teach others how to use it.

[b] The complete default API consists of ~200 functions:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/contents.html#index

[c] The defacto book on learning the complete language (including the C interface) is 366 pages:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/859037985X

Simplicity is beauty IMHO. I would expect any competent developer to get up to speed on the Lua language within a week, it would then take them another couple of weeks to get up to speed on the libraries we use with Lua.

The real power in Lua comes when you couple it with competent APIs that do the "real" work. The Distelli Agent uses libuv for the OS interface, libcrypto (part of openssl) for the crypto primitives, zlib for compression, LPeg for parsing, sqlite for an embedded DB, etc.

The job of the Lua code is simply to "tie" these core components together.
Anybody else noticed how Safari doesn't seem to get Javascript exceptions right? Errors often have no stack trace, or their information is of limited use.

Yes, that is what I am hoping to bring to light. There is no correlation between cost and quality of care. But these prices are not known to the average consumer who believes the same service costs the same no matter who you get it from.

Also, in some cases it is cheaper to not even put the cost through your insurance provider as the cash price might be cheaper.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that, as long as your overall diet is off by a constant factor, all you have to do to lose weight is calibrating your diet. Think of a feedback loop between how many calories you're eating and what your weight is. If you're not losing weight, then cut the number of calories you're eating more! It doesn't matter what the actual numbers are of how many you think you're burning versus how many you're losing; all that matters is results. If you're not getting those results, reduce intake further. Think of it as solving for an unknown constant factor on calorie account through experimentation with measurement.
Very true. Though, most insurance providers are starting to push more of the costs on to the consumer. For me as a consumer, it is frustrating because I already pay a lot in monthly bills and then when I see a doctor three times a year, I pay the whole cost.

In the US we have NOAA for weather. I found about about them when they were being sued by some private forecasters (accuweather I think) for giving away forecast data on the web. (We used to have a weather band radio which would just broadcast the forecast).

The government site [1] is ad free and is very accurate and free from local hype. To the local media snow = ratings. (I bike a lot so I'm a weather watcher). My main complaint is their use of ALL CAPS in the detailed weather discussion[2]

Getting a stream of data from NOAA wasn't so easy for global locations, hourly so when my company needed it we paid weather underground which has a lat/long -> json weather condition api.[3] its was free for developers and small sites and its fun to play around with.

Hi, gkya. The noscript element has been added. Based on some other feedback I've received here, I also reduced the font size and line width for encyclopedic information display.

Maxwell's equations provides the answer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_equations

But then, I personally think Maxwell to be under-appreciated by the mass population whereas at least Faraday people can name even though they may not remember what he achieved.

I bet they were also inspired by Faraday's experiments across the Thames.

I was the same, but eventually Chrome's slowness and resource-intensiveness (this is on OS X, of course) drove me to Safari.

Chrome is still my 'dev' browser though, and having the two separate is actually quite nice.
As an American, it always seems odd to me to see these significant payouts to what appear to be private organizations (in this case the National Union of Taxis, in previous cases with Amazon the French Bookseller's Union [http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008/01/amazons-free-ship...) for violation of public law.
Yeah, I glossed over that. No, I don't agree that the primary purpose is to lower resale value, that much is obvious; it's just a side effect in some cases.

There are some limitations - for example, the German Apple store limits itself to 8-9 kinds of keyboards, though I guess it's more out of practicality than nefarious business decisions.

This is me exactly. I can't stand the UI in FF. It seems to change too much and it's ugly. There are probably plugins to help with that, but I haven't invested the time to look into it. It's also hard to kick the Chrome dev tools.
disclosure: I'm a firefox user.

>I think it's the tabs. [...] It's also the best file downloader

In what way? The only difference I can see is the download status bar, but that's available on firefox as an extension.

>the most configurable

debatable, considering firefox has a bunch of about:config options, whereas chrome has a few configurable flags.

>has the best extension ecosystem.

Can you elaborate this? My impression was that firefox's ecosystem was better because addons can do more (thanks to XUL), whereas chrome addons are limited to glorified userscripts.

Spores != bacteria. Further, can kill is not the same as sterilize, so yes a handgun can kill some bacteria in much the same way a bullet wound kills some skin cells.

They are probably less susceptible to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_shock though.

Though, without actually sterilizing a sample it can be difficult to notice, but lot's of things kill bacteria. They are easy to kill, but hard to kill off.

PS: Spore formation in bacteria is not the principal method of reproduction but simply a method of surviving unfavourable conditions. They are like pinecones which can survive forest fires while pine trees tend to burn really easily.

I'm looking for a good laptop with an Nvidia chip that will run Linux without huge problems, I guess. It's pretty frustrating b/c while we use Ubuntu servers, everybody in my group uses Mac laptops. It would be nice to maintain consistency. Most of us have MBPs from before they switched to AMD GPUs.
This was driving me mad for ages. I was blaming Twitter and my connection until I finally discovered it was Safari. This was the last straw for me. Having Safari on my desktop synced with my iPhone is so useful. Safari credit card and password storage works better than Chromes (imo) and I find it superior in almost every other way. But with todays issue, the t.co issue, and another issue where my entire Mac would randomly freeze and require a forced reboot on some videos (not sure if it was flash or HTML5) I've just had to give up and switch to Chrome.
