The tech industry here in the US is so flush with foreign guest workers on the H1B, F1 OPT, L1, etc visas that companies are spoiled for choice. It may not be as bad as 2008-2009 when job postings were requiring 10+ years of experience for a mid-level dev, but I see job postings with 10-20 'must-have requirements' bullet points. BS 'requirements' like 5 years of Angular 2.0 or 10 years of Bootstrap.

Companies are getting their fix of cheap labor by partnering up with universities to provide them via the F1 OPT work program. They enroll foreign workers to the university and the university put these 'students' to work for the companies under the guise that they're doing 'research work' for the university. Here's an article on it:

It's a good point, but any usable language can work out okay as long as the people coding it know what they're doing and how to write code that other people can work with.

The thing that irritates me about the node.js trend is that the people who are using it don't always understand the environment they are in because they never write for the server side. It's a case of an entire community needing to RTFM.

OTOH, it's not like anyone outside the community is forced to use their code. And some of them at least know what they are doing.
Another Namecheap "gotcha" is they auto-renew any domains you have setup for auto-renewal a full month before you're due for expiration. So if you're thinking of moving away, and trying to decide as the expiration date approaches, make sure to disable auto-renew on those domains while you decide.

I think it's pretty early days still in figuring what's going on. Until fairly recently they only had a pretty hazy guess what bacteria were in you. Apparently less than 1% of gut bacteria can be cultured outside the body.

Things are changing recently with cheap gene sequencing and big data analytics. I think they basically take a sample, mush it up, run it through a gene sequencer and use computer algorithms try to make some sort of sense of the data. The Human Microbiome Project (2008-2013) calculated there are more than 10,000 microbial species in humans. Quite a lot to look at.

Reading through this thread, I've now taken action to use a unique email for important accounts. I was already using [name of service]@[some other domain I only use for email].com. However, I just changed now to [random # and chars]@domain.com.

An additional thing I'm doing is reviewing what accounts have my credit card. One of the things I like about my Bank of America credit card is that I can use their ShopSafe feature to generate a card number for specific accounts.

So if I'm buying transit pass on a website probably made by incompetent people, I generate a new credit card number and use it one time. Same thing with doctors that want me to write my credit card info on a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Ah. kragniz must be the Damien Conway of Python.
One difference is that Erlang's concurrency and error handling in the language is more basic than Akka's and does not directly provide fault-tolerance through supervision but does provide the primitives to implement. All of OTP is implemented in Erlang with these basic primitives. These primitives are actually very simple, the difficulty was getting the right set of simple primitives on which to build the rest.

Also I think you will find that a lot of features which are very similar of Akka's location transparency were built-in to the distribution mechanisms which are part of Erlang. We were at least thinking of distribution from a very early stage.

Ah... if you're a resident of Sweden, anybody can get your full name, address, date of birth, civil status, list of company engagements (e.g., board member, owner of a firm, etc.) and the make and year of any cars registered by going to one of several websites - http://www.ratsit.se/ being one of the most popular ones. No login needed. This information is public data straight from the government. (Exceptions: people < 16-18 years old (afaik), and people with protected identity (about 15K out of 9.8M)).

Call or visit the Swedish Tax Agency if you want further info, such as personal identity number ("personnummer" - think Social Security Number but used for absolutely everything), taxed income, identity and full info of parents (including mother's maiden name - so much for that), etc. You don't have to tell them who you are or why you want this information.

Enter a street address on a site like ratsit.se and you'll find all the people registered on that particular address. I could go on. When I talk about this with friends in countries like Germany and France they're often flabbergasted; in Sweden we're so used to it that we think it's natural. We're basically doxxed by our own government by default. A stalker or identity thief's paradise. It's messed up.

Ah, just Amazon (which uses Gandi under the hood.)

Many pluses: predictable, can be administered using the AWS CLI, consolidated billing with other AWS services. Heck, can even register domains from the CLI.

Only downside as others have pointed out is that Gandi doesn't make it at all easy to hide your name or company contact information.
Really love the fact the import is named `from jsonsempai import magic`.

If this were to be used seriously, it would make sense to other devs that the import named magic is doing some crazy stuff.
Yes I have and don't lie. The steam logo should be enough to tell anyone that what you're buying is an "all access pass to the steam service". Further than that, might I direct your attention here http://universesandbox.com/faq/#purchase specifically this paragraph https://archive.is/aKZD7#selection-1333.0-1347.254 where they quite clearly say steam is required and that they haven't decided whether it will be drm free at some point.
That's not true at all. Corporations have tons of legitimate uses, including reducing liability.
Are you comfortable with your employer having the power to control what you say, in your free time, and not about said employer? Because that's what this boils down to. I would expect people who are skeptical about the great power that large corporations hold to oppose that kind of behavior.
I've been using my local USPS PO box for domain registration for the past few years. It pays for itself when you figure in the cost of add-on services from registrars. I also use it as an address for similar in-person sign up forms also. Aliasing services like Fastmail are also a solid part of the equation. Use it as much and in as many places as possible. You could also try an IRL alias-type hack by giving out a slightly different name (middle name, title, etc.) when filling out your address.

My response to a lot of this behavior among a number of products/vendors is "stop helping me." The presumption that users are idiots and cannot be trusted with control over behaviors or settings is a constant source of irritation.

If you insist on injecting yourself into the user's workflow because you believe you know better, then either your solution is flawed and needs this interference or your arrogance is showing and you think you know better than the user what they want. Both of these are evidence that you shouldn't be designing things.
As a JavaScript developer for the past 5 years or so, when jumping into Python I certainly miss the simple require(<json file>) which this seems to replicate into Python pretty well!

Having said that I don't think that I would use it for serious things since this isn't really the Python way and I would like my code to be most understood by others. Neat though!
"Willing" has different meanings. http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/willing lists three of them.

People will use the term "willing" to mean #3: "done, made, or given with one's own free will".

I'm willing to work a part-time job flipping burgers to make ends meet. I'm willing to come home smelling like grease in order to have a home.

On the other hand, I might not be willing to do so because it's beneath me, and would rather live in car and live off my small winnings from playing poker. Another way to cast this is that I'm willing to live in my car in order to preserve my dignity.

No matter what happens, there's a Panglossian way to construct it such that I'm "willing" to do whatever I ended up doing. Which makes that definition meaningless in this context.

I instead interpret "willing" to mean something more like #2: "having or showing the ability to respond without delay or hesitation."

In this context, I use it more like "willing to work in the job as-is, without significant complaint or protest". Compare "I'm looking for a volunteer" vs. "I'm looking for a willing volunteer", or "lend a hand" vs. "lend a willing hand." A volunteer may lend a reluctant hand, but still be a volunteer.

People of their own free will (definition 3) are working at job where they've had to stop (definition 2), think about if they want to do it, and work on ways to make it more worthwhile.
Same here. I've registered a bunch of domain names with Namecheap over the last year and they all had whoisguard turned on.
>you decide to leave your job and start a business with your college buddies

I know the point they were trying to make in the article, but the primary reason this doesn't happen in Japan is the cultural fear of failure rather than the system being broken. Once you're in, the nanny corporation will take care of you for the rest of your life. Once those corporations are in, the government will take care of them for the rest of their life. Risk mitigation is what's most highly valued; because of this fact, not all capitalistic logic can be applied, despite the system appearing fairly capitalist.

Satellites have made images, but they haven't made proper street maps, which is what you actually need for navigation. Blurry textures on a globe won't tell you how to get to places unless you already know their GPS coördinates.
USA is a little different. To get mail using the street address of the PO, boxholders have to sign an additional agreement, BUT:

1) it's free, and

2) they will also accept UPS/FedEx/DHL/etc shipments on your behalf for no charge! (they will sign for packages, but if "Direct" signature (the named recipient) is required, they can't accept those.)

If you just try using "UNIT #" or "APT #" or whatever, or you don't have this additional agreement signed, they can and will return to sender.
I guess I was talking about torture in a broader sense.

Yes, in 24 and Zero Dark Thirty it's realistic -- a state military or intelligence agency using torture in a prescribed way. They would actually have received training about effective techniques for torturing people, which is pretty chilling in and of itself.

But you can also watch the 90s Batman cartoon, where Batman holds criminals off of roofs to get them to talk, or the X-men cartoon where Wolverine puts his claws up to someone's chin. It's not strictly "torture", but using fear (of death) to make someone talk is similar to using pain. The person will do whatever is required to end it, whether that involves being truthful or not.

Even worse, you have scenes where James Bond (or some hero) is tortured and doesn't talk. It creates the idea that someone who talks when being tortured is a traitor or is somehow weak. In reality, it's really rare to be able to withstand torture, and the US Dept of Defense doesn't even consider soldiers to have failed their country if they talk.
Why We Need to Talk About Uber
The organization of knowledge is an old problem. Trees and indices are very handy ways to locate books, er, files. There were three things that killed gopher: multimedia, licensing, and search.

Inline images really set a webpage apart from the typical wall of text common at the time. University of Minnesota's licensing scheme made the web more attractive.

But the killer app was the web search engine: first DEC's AltaVista and then Google. Before web search engines, finding info you wanted on from a website was terrible - unless the pages were modelled after the traditional trees and indices. Links were fun (remember webrings?) but not nearly as useful for finding information until Google figured out ranking pages by weighting links.

The department also cares about its accreditation. The professors want grad students who can handle advanced chemistry. Someone has to teach them.

> The grad class doesn't make the university any money.

Odd, I could have sworn that my grad school listed a cost for credit hours. While there was a tuition waiver, that money came from somewhere, and I'm pretty sure that includes grant overhead.

I'm sure too the funding agencies might wonder about all the overhead needed for a grad school with no one teaching graduate-level courses.

Frankly, you're premise is flatly wrong; other drives get passes just as much as sex does or more; the people that take the contrary attitudes you point to on some other biological drives tend also to be equally or more judgemental of others when it comes to sex, and plenty of people who dont get judgemental about those other things get quite judgemental about other peoples sexual habits.

Claiming that sex is the biological drive that gets a pass compared to all others is completely detached from reality.

And the "advocating abstinence doesn't work" position isn't something that comes about out of nowhere and bias that sex is special, its the result of studies of how well that messaging works
Manifestly, empirically, abstinence advocacy is generally ineffective.

To support you, the USSR had mapped nearly the entire world (presumably with aid of satellites and GPS):

"The Soviets made far more detailed maps of some parts of the world. They mapped all of Europe, nearly all of Asia, as well as large parts of North America and northern Africa at 1:100,000 and 1:50,000 scales, which show even more features and fine-grained topography."

I sincerely doubt they have any of the China GPS offsets.

That two of the people most closely related to her are not Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace is not in any way evidence that she is not related to Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace.

USPS now supports a feature called "street addressing". Basically, instead of writing "PO Box #" as the address, you may write the actual street address of the same facility followed by your box number, something like "123 Main St #456". Private mailbox providers also often accept addresses like "123 Main St Apt 456", where 456 is the number of your mailbox as well.
I'd forgotten that these exist, but I'm not sure they are going to help here. You save something doing 2 ranges at once, but Agner says each pcmpistrm takes 3 µops that must be on P0, while the pcmpgtb can go on P01, and the pand goes on P015. Certainly worth trying, though.

My instinct was that switching to AVX2 was going to be a big win, but doesn't help as much as I hoped. Part of this is that we're coming reading and writing to memory (that is, it gets faster if I make the buffers fit in L1) but still not astounding. Not sure what the limiting factor is.

I found last week that Namecheap enabled auto-renew of both the domain and whoisguard by default:

http://imgur.com/hoGfojZ.png

If you click-through the checkout with the 'Confirm Order' button at the top right away you can miss that detail - as I have twice.

One of the reasons I switched to Namecheap in the first place is because they were a registrar that didn't rely on bundling tricks. I'm considering moving all of my domains away.
This is a very common problem faced by those who are looking to move to a new career, taking job for the first time or looking to move back to work after a long time. General tendency is to look for some silver bullet like a degree or course or something like that to solve this problem. Sadly none of these usually work. The reality of what industries are actually looking for is very different. It's best to get a mentor or multiple mentors from industry who are in these roles and know what exactly do these companies look for. They can also do some mock interviews and give you personalized feedback so that you can prepare in focused way. if you don't have good network yourself, Http://mockinterview.proudfolio.com is a great platform for finding these mock interviewers and mentors from the companies.
It'd be an improvement if everyone used the Itanium ABI, though.

I think it's more complicated than that simplistic take. Just imagine the numbers of people behind bars if that tactic were followed thru. It was pretty much untenable as it was but we'd be looking at what, locking up 5 per cent of the population?

If you look at who supported the drugs policies, blacks supported them almost as much as whites did. Drugs were ravaging neighborhoods, and back then, this is how societies had treated drugs addicts. Russia, China, Singapore, African countries, etc. It wasn't till the Swiss experimented with alternative back in the nineties that others began looking at alternative policies in treating drugs addicts. Then we had a number of countries in Europe begin to try alternative methods to treat their addicts and people began to see these alternatives were more effective than jailing addicts and now we're seeing similar approaches in the US.
Suboxone is just dope from a dope man in a lab coat. All suboxone does is switch addiction from opiates or opioids, to opioids. I've known more than a few people who were detoxing from suboxone say it's easier to kick heroin.
