There is actually an official walkthrough[1] that just says... don't use walkthroughs ;)

I remember when I was originally playing the game right after it came out, and I was stumped by a puzzle and then found the "official" walkthrough and it inspired me to try my best at the game to get through it. And it really made the game way more rewarding, enjoyable, and memorable.

I'm not in disagreement. I certainly could have been more careful with my original wording.

I had a gut reaction to the original commenter's statement that angular momentum was a "physical reality at the subatomic level" and should have been more direct in my response.
It's something about his pattern of writing that seems different to me. Maybe I'm just projecting.
I do not mind new panels introducing concepts; what I mind is the symbols not always being clearly connected with the mechanic they introduce.
For example, the black and white symbols that needed to be separated were intuitive.
Perhaps even more important, does library size still matter once dead-code elimination is an option in Webpack2?

Thanks.

I'm still working on it so I'll make one when it will be ready.
I remember the Challenger explosion like it was yesterday. I'll link here to a scan of the pages from Edward Tufte's book Visual Explanations about what went wrong with the data analysis during the launch planning, which understated the risk of a launch in cold weather.

Snapdocs is looking for an experienced and empathetic Rails engineer
Full Time | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Competitive Salary, benefits, and generous options.

Snapdocs is a early-stage, rapidly growing company looking for a battle-hardened rails engineer. The ideal candidate is someone who plans to become a lead engineer (or perhaps a product manager) in the not too distant future.

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Monolith vs microservice is an ongoing debate. We are working to find a good authentication pattern that allows for people to work across companies in multiple roles (which is trickier than you might think!). Domain Driven Design is our guiding light.

Snapdocs’ culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

==Job Description and Required Skills==

* Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

* Being the 5th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

* Knowledge of AWS would be excellent.

* UX experience (or interest in cultivating it) would be excellent.

Send an email to jobs@snapdocs.com telling us about yourself. Please include a resume and a link to github (and specific github repos) if your profile is informative.
Isn't there a way to copy a profile?

This would be great for archival - so I can search - I want to know last year when I was on Project X about some things that would be useful right now....
Shocking upset power of strategic voting
Well, IANAL but given that he has a prescription for the situation that caused him to be late, I can see a case for unemployment. It should be worth filing.
The odd thing is that 'disorder' might contribute to one's ability to think 'laterally'. Some schizophrenic tend to exhibit certain amounts of clanging. In extreme instances it turns into what's referred to as 'word salad' (presumably the desire to have the alliterative sounds overwhelms one to the point where one no longer cares about conveying meaning). At the same time, a 'normal' mind definitely appreciates clanging when used as a well executed literary component (say, exhibited by Larkin or Cummings).

Schizophrenia is a real interesting mental disorder because it touches on so many other disorders (e.g. speech impediments like echolalia often seen in those on the autistic spectrum) and it's tendency to exhibit itself relatively late in life (early to mid 20s is very late for on-set as I understand it re: mental disorders).

The Post did a pretty good job conveying a complicated concept in an approachable manner to those who aren't in the field, but as always the primary source is useful, so here's the pre-print: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26814963

n.b. My father is in the field and I sent this to him when I saw the mention of Eric Lander (they worked together at Whitehead before Lander left to direct Broad). He regards Lander as highly as I regard DJB. Often the media blows things up, I'd imagine these findings are fairly major within their field, if only because it survived the peer-review process into Nature.
There is a near-total failure of the press to dig in to police corruption. When a case like this happens, the victim's name is splashed in the papers, and the press camps out on the victim's family's lawn. That's backward, and it does nothing but create some sensation.

The cop involved in the shooting, his personal life, his family, his buddies in the PD, the cops who witnessed the event, their supervisors, etc. should be the ones under the TV lights. That's where you will find the perjurers and the corrupt.
Good luck proving deliberate destruction -- "accidents happen" and noisy hand-waving will result in nothing beyond three-day suspensions and desk jockeying.
Building Belly's Merchant Mobile App with React Native
The UK government built a bunch of "new towns" in England in the '50s and '60s, to take pressure off the housing situation in London at the time. The biggest is Milton Keynes, near Bletchley Park. It's a bit soulless in the same way as US suburbs, being built for the age of the car (roundabouts as far as the eye can see!), but it's 45 minutes from central London on the train, and was affordable for regular people to buy houses there. The new towns schemes seem largely successful 50 years later, and I can only imagine the reason we've not continued is because of the change in political taste for large infrastructure projects since then.
In many cases this is basically a rubber stamp. I know several people who were committed against their will after as little as a cursory 5 minute conversation. To anyone who knew them at all, they pretty clearly weren't violent or a threat to others. Another person I knew was hospitalized for a suicide attempt, at which the doctors, for no particular reason and with no evidence, assumed she must be hearing voices, and had her on anti-psychotics for around a week before her family managed to convince them otherwise.

Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists weld a frightening amount of power over the people who may not be aware of just how easy it is to be locked up for seeking any kind of help or therapy. At this point, I consider pretty much any contact with clinical psychs to be every bit as dangerous as talking to a cop without a lawyer.
By the time any decision is rendered on this, it will most likely be moot. More and more programming is migrating to streaming services; a couple years from now (this would probably take that long with the public comment period, etc.) will make cable box lock-in a thing of the past for most consumers.

Can someone explain how this is different than how most people use Apache HTTPD these days? I'm not trying to be snarky -- I'm genuinely curious.
I mean it's certainly possible I just meant it wasn't obvious to me, that's all.
This is nuts, I would have never guessed you could swap an entire OS out! I scanned the code, this can be done without rebooting and while preserving "uptime" yes?

"Calculating the optimal draft is way more difficult than Go." is correct because you can't calculate the optimal draft without calculating all the possible games that can happen. Every hero is unique, you can't really preserve anything from the game calculations of another hero.
Oh, look, another genome-wide association study found a suggestive correlation. Didn't we learn our lesson about this kind of bullshit in the Zeros?
Much like Kansas' decision to cut taxes and then plug the resulting budget hole with cuts to education, Flint's conservative policies were tremendously short-sighted. Poor education in Kansas will lead to increased poverty and crime, and fewer well-trained workers, which will cost the state dearly in 16 years or so. Likewise, Flint is going to spend much, much more cleaning up this mess than they could ever have saved.
>The dash cams are for their benefit. There was a county in another state that implemented dash cams for their police force and found an 80% drop in complaints against officers.

Baloney. The cameras are for the public's benefit.

Imagine your employer (or whatever) came to you and said, "From now on, you're wearing a camera whenever you're working. It's for your benefit; if anyone ever accuses you of slacking off, you'll have the video evidence to prove that you're not."

Would your productivity increase? Almost definitely. Is the camera really for your benefit? Nope.
I had the exact same grade in English IV - barely scraping by with a D. If I had failed that I would have been another year in school.

CPT "College Placement Test" was required by the local community college even though I had taken the SAT and ACT.

It was not a timed test at the time, it was multiple choice, and I was allowed to use a simple calculator. Might not have known all the right answers, but I knew how to figure out which one was the wrong one. I think I spent 6 hours on it. I by far scored the best on it out of all of them.

I used to be in network security for a financial institution, but I wear a few hats now. I'm a certified tower climber and senior network engineer(That makes the article even more relevant, half of the time I'm designing networks, the other half of the time I'm getting sunburnt, hanging off a 500ft tall piece of steel with a fiber cable dangling under me and a laptop on my back.) I have a good Cisco background, MCITP(the new, now old MCSE) and can take apart and fix nearly anything.

Thanks for your story. It would probably give away your main handle to disclose, but I'm curious why you wouldn't want to post it under that one.

edit: fixed typo
I had the same though and looked into it. It seems that CoreCLR isn't the limitation there. It supports a variety of platforms: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr#build-status

Looks like the authors are focused on Windows for their initial prototype development.
It should say "online services", not tools. For example, there's no mention of Jenkins, Bamboo, nor Cruise control for CI tools, no mention of the downloadable free tier for Splunk, greylog2, Elk for logging, GNUcash for finance etc...
> Can someone explain how this is different than how most people use Apache HTTPD these days

You mean as a reverse proxy / cache server?. I don't have statistics but I would think that most people use apache as a regular http server (serving files or as part of a *AMP stack)

They are probably getting a lot of pressure from the cable companies on this. It is getting to the point where any home I visit uses Roku / Apple TV or a smart TV as their primary viewing option.

>It feels like, rather than a basic income, we need two orthogonal currencies: one for necessities (food, rent, utilities) and one for niceities.

There isn't really a difference here. Need vs. want isn't a binary classification, even though we treat it as one. It is a spectrum. Even worse, it is a spectrum where ever people with choice don't always make the choices of need. Take someone thirsty who is drinking soda. Enough so that they are lowering their life expectancy. They have a need for water, not soda. Soda is worse, comparable to slightly dirty water in how it impacts their life expectancy, but they choose it for other reasons.

It would be far easier to give people money and let them choose how to allocate it. If someone's immediate needs is a safer location to shelter in then they can decide what do they need less (maybe reduce their food budget to compensate). The only issue needing government involvement is with ensuring parents meet the needs of their children (but once again, needs isn't a distinct classification).
If it's that bad in Chicago, then what you have is not a police force, but a criminal organization.

Who's overseeing them? Are your elected officials powerless to do any thing?
These orgs (and all of us) should have legal teeth. We should be able to indict and subsequently prosecute those whose crimes have become obvious and for whome there is sufficient evidence.

Government prosecutors will never do it.
Yes. Unix time is utc based. I used manual syncing to ntp server once in a while. Automatic syncing scares me a bit. What happens when it adjust backwards in time. Programs that are running and use elapsed time logic might get very confused. Elapsed time since an event happened might become negative.

It seems that way, but... it's not. I don't have any real data or concrete thoughts on why, but in general I much prefer some chaos and the potential for change to a whole bunch of stability bordering on stagnation even if it seems like a big hot mess. Don't believe the messy hype :P

The web page for the tutorials is visually appealing. However, the design with photographs instead of text indicating that these are links to the tutorials seems like an area where less subtlety might be better for users.

For what it's worth, the tutorials are more interesting to me than the game.
This is priceless! Pretty much contains everything that I hate about Android Development.
If I'm reading this right, this creates a new Arch rootfs onto /dev/xvda2 and abandons the old Debian one?

I don't want a better set top box. I don't want my Apple TV to work like a cable box with channels. I don't want the cable experience at all, which is why I'm not a subscriber.

Hi there!

This week problem features a very surprising voting paradox, which is directly relevant to next week's primaries in the USA. It's a mathematical logic puzzle, designed to stun with the enormous power of strategic voting. It's also a public service announcement which is independently useful for informing the public (just in time for the primaries) that it may not always be ideal to vote for your favorite candidate. We designed it in a bite-sized (mobile) and shareable format so that it could get the point across to as many people as quickly as possible!
What's the reason behind the rise of "business admin & mgmt"?
I think the best take-home from the article is simply that your screen time is a problem only if it's distracting you from the things you'd rather be doing.

If you're spending the majority of your Internet time researching a specific topic, or interacting with others online about that topic, or something you're specifically interested in, then there's not really a problem. As you say, the alternative is spending time offline focused on something else, and neither online nor offline is inherently bad.

It's only bad if you're online and you want to be e.g. watching a Coursera video or having a language lesson over Skype, etc., and the incoming Facebook chat messages, tweets and Slack notifications are constantly pulling away from your intended purpose.

Just take a look, how many libraries are written in ES6, clearly not much. So dead code Elimination only works if you have ES6 libs and that will take some time.
Cool. Thanks.

BTW, I think you're 100% correct about this becoming more important / more of a visible problem. On a small scale, it's something I wrestle with often. For example, I love the convenience of buying a book on my Kindle, but I'm reminded of the joy of wandering through my grandparents' library and wonder if my daughter (and so on) will be able to have a similar experience – what happens to those my Amazon purchases after I'm gone? Another example is that I keep a sporadic journal in Evernote. Should I really be printing out those writings in case I have a curious descendant? I've enjoyed reading letters and journals of ancestors.

On the other hand, digitalization has obvious benefits too. But we have to be deliberate in our curation and storage format.

For example, it's great that correspondence (email) is now automatically archived rather than it being a tedious process (carbon copy, hand-copying, etc.). But how many people backup their email out of their cloud provider to a personally owned copy in a human-readable format? I actually do backup my Gmail account occasionally. But I doubt my wife knows where it is. Or if she'd be able to look past the XML format. And even if she did, there are literally millions of emails in there from mailing lists and work stuff and spam and whatever. The percentage of actual meaningful correspondence is unbelievably low.

I don't know. It's a big problem, I think.
The opposition can easily spin the union as being soft-er on crime. Cop-on-civilian crime is still crime.

If perception is all that counts in politics (and it is), use the opportunity to smear everyone connected to crooked cops, especially politicians. Use language like "state-sponsored murder" to rile up state-skeptical conservatives, who provide most of the police union support. If you have connections to the press, run stories like "Could Your Mayor Kill You (And Get Away With It)?" or if you're buzzfeed, "6 Ways Your Mayor Could Kill You (And Get Away With It)" or even "Your City's Death Squad (And The Lawyers Who Help With Murder)"

Make people afraid for their lives and angry of the administration and it will put the administration on the defensive, which weakens the "soft on crime" tactic considerably. Once you've tapped into emotional reaction, it's hard to steer the brain back to logic.

I walked in to the TV showing the launch. I hadn't known it had exploded. I didn't realize I was seeing a replay.

I spent my time as a kid living on Vandenberg Air Force base, and my father would drag me out to Minute Men missile launches early in the mornings. I saw several launches. Even two launched at once.

I had seen many launches before, so I had no expectation that they could go wrong.

Watching the shuttle explode like that was shocking.

Who is buying the cameras? Who is installing the cameras? Who is determining if they are tampered with? Who is making the laws concerning the cameras? Chicago city politicians or employees. All of whom are being paid and influenced to do do their jobs in a way that favors the right people.

You seem to be suggesting a federal takeover of the Chicago police department -- a city whose mayor is the former chief of staff of the president, who himself is a Chicagoan. Good luck with that.
