> When there's a possibility that she dresses in a certain way

Obviously I wasn't referring to the clause about her attire.

> And a defined masculine jaw would probably help you raise money

Absolutely, but that was not my point. The point is that if the matter of appearance is commonly brought up when a woman is involved but rarely when a man is, then there's a problem. If the matter of Agassi's jaw had been brought up as a likely reason for his ability to fool (or not) investors as often as Holmes's natural physical appearance comes up, I wouldn't have said a thing.

I'm not objecting at all to the likely hypothesis (perhaps a well-supported theory by now) that physical appearance matters a lot in all sorts of circumstances, but to the tendency to bring up physical appearance as a significant cause for success only (or almost only) when discussing women, and when the actual amount information supporting this hypothesis in both cases (of men and women) is similarly nonexistent (and possibly similarly likely in both cases).
I think the "confusion" is justified. It's a good thing(tm) to start with the concept of "normal with respect to a base" and then move on to say that "normal" or "absolutely normal" means "normal for every base (greater than 1)."

Wikipedia does this, adding the extra term "simply normal" for the case where we are talking about relative to a single base:

We say that x is simply normal in base b if
the sequence S(x,b) is simply normal, and
that x is normal in base b if the sequence
S(x,b) is normal. The number x is called a
normal number (or sometimes an absolutely
normal number) if it is normal in base b
for every integer b greater than 1.

For the purposes of explanation, especially to non-technical audiences, I think the approach taken is fully justified.

Yes. But clearing out your rubbish and learning what it's like to live with your not-rubbish is one good way to do that. This is one of the reasons she says you only need to go through the major tidying process once, ever.

One thing I like about the book is that she didn't write it until after years of experience helping people solve the way-too-much-junk problem, so it's based on what actually worked for a variety people who were failing to solve the problem on their own, unlike many self help books that are written only based on the author's experience of being naturally good at something.

Yes, the callback functions (registered in Qt, calling back into Go) will probably be a problem then. I guess they will need to handle the situation through a kind of lookup-table approach, which of course will come at a cost.
There... is, actually. If you don't actually attempt to align the variable names, then what you're doing is "indenting items in a list", essentially.

In general, you should avoid aligning unless the readability gains are significant. Aligning things means that you end up re-aligning when you add or remove longer items. This increases maintenance and pollutes diffs (which also means code reviews and git logs).

Yes. And now it's a bit circular: here appearance was heavily commented on when theranos was starting and beginning to raise money; and so now when people write about Theranos they keep mentioning it.
It's always been slower, but I don't think that can be completely fixed since Qt needs to load all of its libraries. Anyway, it's still possible to optimize the startup to be very usable.

You'll want to use a splash screen implemented with minimal UI code (no widgets of any kind yet, just an image with a background). While showing the splash screen, load dynamically a minimal main UI and some critical services -- only the parts that will affect the initial view.

Then hide the splash screen. You'll have a small bit of time after the UI becomes visible and before the user will actually use it. You'll want to use this time to load the rest of your services and preload more UI components to avoid the creation lag on UI thread later on.

I've done this kind of three-stage loading on Android without technical users even realizing it's not a native app. Would I do it again? Not really if platform native code is an option. There are too many details one has to handle when imitating platform visuals and interaction.
Convenient for the normal case, yes, but I was highlighting the "don't do this lest you invoke the wrath of the platform gods who ban your code" aspect of it.

I believe it's still worth it. Using a CDN will definitely help speed up the delivery of your static assets especially to those who are further away from your origin server. They're also quite simple to set up as there are many Wordpress plugins out there that allow you to simply enter your CDN url which will rewrite your current static asset URLs (e.g. CDN Enabler).

Using a pay-as-you-go CDN service would likely be the way you would want to go just so that you aren't tied down to any monthly commitment that you may not end up fully using.

I would suggest taking a look at KeyCDN (https://www.keycdn.com/) which is quite affordable.
What I wanted to say was.. openresty is like a second application server + proxy combined into one. So you can
have some of your validation at proxy level itself and reject dirty data then and there without ever having to bother your application server.

>as it can return a <form> with carefully placed messages for instance.

Openresty can also do that. The choice may vary from person to person. But the point I was trying to make was that if I have to use nginx I'd rather use openresty. And if I use openresty I'd probably do all little tasks like validation at the proxy level itself.

"Complexity can be the result of elegant design" LOL its always the opposite. More detail below:

The second to last paragraph is a direct analogy with programming where outsiders think the best programmer is the one generating infinitely complex code, but for people actually in the field the criteria is the reverse and the best programmer solves the problem with the least complex code. Of course this is somewhat political and some lisp-ish functional-ish languages are more aerospace "simplicate and add lightness" than other more grindy languages (java, cobol, whats the difference...)

A gaming insider's view of the last paragraph is the lead story in the latest "C3I Magazine" is by the COIN series designer explaining the virtue, measurement, and minimization of complexity as a series of games develop. On a slightly tangential topic, C3I Magazine has an interesting although probably unscalable solution to the magazine industry crisis.
But locking all of romanh's domains, so he can't take his business elsewhere, and transferring all of the traffic intended for his systems to somewhere else, does sound a lot like blackmail, not to mention blatant violation of how domain registration is supposed to work.

Also, $240 because of one chargeback, and doing the above while the customer is trying to sort out a fraud issue? Neither of those sounds like normal practice for a responsible domain registrar either.

Obviously there are two sides to every story and we're only seeing one here, but that one does look pretty bad for Namecheap.

Hey, thanks for this.

With regards to redux-thunk, have you taken a look at redux-saga[0]? Any thoughts?

Python itself never enforced that, though. It's the libraries' responsibility to have a "register_import_hook()" function or similar instead of just doing so unannounced.
Then you are probably one of the very few persons that considers it normal to copulate regularly in the public.
This is neat but I don't love what it does to struct definitions. Would a modified variant better make use of named capture groups?
I think the question was whether it is possible for a number to be normal in one base but not in another. Intuitively I would say that randomness should transcend the base and therefore a number that is normal in one base should be normal in any other base and therefore absolutely normal. But if that were the case the distinction between normal in a specific base and absolutely normal would be unnecessary. So I don't know but would also be interested in an example in case one exists and is known.

EDIT: It is easily possible for simply normal numbers, i.e. if you only consider single digit frequencies but not frequencies of digit pairs, triples and so on. 0.(0123456789) is simply normal in base 10 because every digit occurs with frequency one tenth but it is not normal in base 10 because only ten out of one hundred digit pairs occur. But it is also not simply normal in base 10¹⁰ because it then consists only of the single digit representing 0123456789 repeated indefinitely.

You fall under that category. The criteria that Zappos website has to actually go down in order for it to have been a bad decision is a pretty bad way to make a judgment call. If you ran a company that way you'd never fix a bad decision until it was too late.
Concatenative inheritance predates JS. There were research languages in the 80s that had this model as well.

This book (2003) has a good summary of the space:

http://www.amazon.com/Prototype-Based-Programming-Concepts-L...

There's a diversity of approaches. Self uses prototype delegates. The language I learned on (LambdaMOO) has a single-delegate ("parent") model. There have been research languages that used pure concatenation. And even ones that had early binding and static types.
These average predictors have always bugged me. While it may not be possible to accurately predict the exact cause of my death, the risks for a wealthy retired couple living a healthy lifestyle in a cottage in the rural Switzerland is going to be different than those for a single retiree who smokes, drinks whiskey, and lives in the centre of Beijing. There is no cause of death that is meaningfully captured by averaging a coarse demographic.

The by far the most important determinant (more important than even sex and race) is missing here: is your body fat level healthy? The median American is overweight, and we'll soon reach the tipping point when the median American is obese[1]. The huge % of deaths due to circulatory diseases is almost entirely due to this (as is a fraction of the other causes). If you're healthy, the data is too pessimistic. If you're too fat, the data is too optimistic.

When the Doctor Must Choose Between Her Patients and Her Notes
Please see my comments above - there are ways around this but it appears that that path was never pursued.
Yup, we love it. I moved to it a few years ago and it's worked fantastically. We've used it for everything from debugging access to newer services by simply including additional headers (in a staging environment of course) to blocking older versions of clients (we make games, there have been odd ways people cheat) to much more fluid handling of CORS, to direct access to Redis for fast polling for older devices that don't support web socket connections and more. This, of course, was all before the JavaScript interpreter was added to nginx proper, but I feel no need to move over to JavaScript so long as open resty stays supported.

Edit: and it's fast as all get-out, I might add.
> Sorry Wall Street Journal, but please get your facts straight before writing rubbish.

The WSJ is a great publication and worth reading.

But you have to understand whose interests the WSJ represents: the global business elite. The global business elite loves immigration because, to them, it represents an inflow of cheaper workers who know and/or care less about their rights. (Even if you don't hire immigrants directly, increasing the labor supply helps slow wage growth.) There are probably also some other factors, like status signaling. They aren't worried about getting cultural details right, because they don't care about culture or civic engagement or anything like that. They care about cheap labor.

You can therefore expect the majority of WSJ articles about immigration to say whatever they think cheerleads immigration most, no matter how nonsensical it is (but since the WSJ is a "serious" publication, you'd think nonsense would be kept to a minimum.)

(There are, of course, many supporters of immigration who have nothing to do with the global business elite, many other arguments than can be made, for and against, but that's the WSJ demographic.)

I am all for tidying up. One should not forget though, that there are many reasons for why things end up the way they do (as in, cluttered and untidy). I don't think that it 'just happens' that your house fills itself with things that you never will use. Sure, we can blame consumer culture and capitalistic indoctrination. But if we're honest, most of the stuff that we buy is because we hope that it will change us as a person and that we can fill that emptiness that lingers inside.

In the end, buying will not change lives as much as we think. Change has to come from within and from connecting with others. I really doubt that "300,000 things" will achieve that change.

I think the authors of http://www.theminimalists.com have some great answers regarding the question "if not consumerism, what will add value to my life?". While most of you already know the answer "friends, health, passion, etc.", and are tired of the platitudes, I am sure that it is easy to forget the values in a world surrounded by messages of consumption. If you are interested, I would recommend starting with this article http://www.theminimalists.com/21days/ about how the authors Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus got started on their journey to minimalism.
The title as I write this is "The clock is ticking for Dropbox, valued at $10B more than a year ago". This title is not that used in the article, nor is it a meaning I can grasp from the article.

SEPA direct debit allows you to pull money via IBAN (+ BIC, depending on the countries involved in the transaction).

Specifics vary from country to country. Some require active approval from the customer (IIRC France, probably more), others "just work".

Fraud is not as common, since bank accounts that are allowed to debit money this way are generally only available to companies who have to sign paperwork ensuring that they have written permission from each debitor. Additionally, although this might be country-specific as well, chargebacks can be initiated without providing any reason for at least 8 weeks, and in case of a fraudulent transaction, up to 13 months.
