Taking the most expensive keywords as a source: Attorneys, Insurance, Travel, etc... I'll use SuperLawyers + Avvo + Yelp for Attorneys. I'll go directly to insurance websites and compare rates. I'll go to Kayak, CheapOAir, Hipmunk and the likes for travel.
Yeah, seems to be some confusion of the title. Probably a better title is "Why learn C programming?" The article itself isn't about "Learning to Program with C as a beginning language".

And I don't know how I feel about C as a first language. I don't believe it would be worse than Java, which was the intro course at my Uni, but my first language was BASIC of all things, which is good in some respects as it really is a "Beginners" language, but both C and BASIC could encourage sloppy practices without good instruction and C especially has some gotchas.
Me too. Literally the only thing I've used Yahoo for in years.
eh, pretty happy.
That $100mm target was not achieved last year. I don't know what sort of revenue Tumblr actually generated in 2015 for Yahoo, but it seemingly wasn't $100mm and it definitely is nowhere near profitable. A few points:

- Tumblr was reorganized and lost its independence [1]. Not a sign of happiness with their progress.

- Tumblr has an enormous third-party CDN bill, to the extent that even $100mm of yearly revenue wouldn't come close to covering the expanse. Their traffic levels are greater than those of some entire CDN providers, and the rates they negotiated were not particularly rock bottom. Yahoo has to get out from under that situation to ever make Tumblr a profitable enterprise.

- Tumblr has very little monetizable content. Yahoo ads on Tumblr sites have still not come to fruition after several years of management claims that it's around the corner. They will presumably face a user revolt if and when it does roll out. Display ads only appear in the admin dashboard, which has far lower hit rates than the public facing sites themselves. The vast majority of sites are permanently non-monetizable because they are one of: porn, illegal content, branded corporate sites like yahooeng.tumblr.com. Yet to discard sites like those is to severely damage Tumblr's traffic rankings, which is the only thing they have to sell ads against (if they sold ads).

I see a lot of similarities between Tumblr and a Yahoo acquisition from a previous era: GeoCities. They're both instances of Yahoo spending too much to buy what they think is the latest hot thing that will build their userbase, and instead getting nothing in return but a giant bill and a no way to gain money or prestige off of the product.

Why We Built a Jobs Board for Developers
One pagination that I really don't enjoy using is GitHub's "Newer" and "Older" links when you're viewing the commit log. Luckly, the URI has a `page=` parameter and I'm able to put in some arbitrary numeric strings to try and guess which would be the last page. Because I like to see the first commit of really mature projects when I'm just browsing sometimes.
How much overhead does std::mutex add in the single-threaded case for std::map? Because its kinda curious that this new map is more than twice as fast as std::map even on single thread.
Specifically, nacl-targeted IR.
From the bottom of the page: "Music performed and written by Adult Fur."
The argument in the paper (and I admit I find the analysis unconvincing) was the a successful conspiracy requires a relatively small number of people involved to successfully carry out and to go a long time undetected, not that they don't exist.

I like to work on projects with challenging tasks and teams with a lot of determination.

Cheers!

I... never knew this.

And since my editor strips newlines on save (and no, I will not turn that feature off), I guess I can't use it.

Oh well.

It kind of scares me that I might inadvertently strip the newlines out of someone else's markdown that I'm editing, though.
I think a more interesting question is: Would you rather get $100 or allow the other members of your team to attend a party they'd enjoy?

Given most of the infinite scroll implementations - better use traditional pagination.

As lolptdr wrote - if infinite scroll implemented in a way that changes URL of the page with PushState and loads data correctly after refresh then it's just fine.

Nevertheless, any time I can I implement traditional pagination. It is easier to use and shows clearly where user is located, can allow user to jump straight to the last page.
This is a thing already. It's an option as a qt phonon backend in Linux at least, so all qt apps that use it will support any of vlcs codecs.

In a rational world, people wouldn't suggest that a $100 off-the-shelf GPS is all you need to retrofit a train to be automated enough to remove the human overseer.

Similarly, in a rational world, anyone advocated that X control the train should have to present their arguments. 'automation' doesn't 'win by default' - people favouring automation still have to present their arguments. 'automation' is not the null hypothesis here.

I'm still at an early design phase but I intend to be loud about it when I am at a sharable point. I'm building it as a "rapid prototyping" language that combines some of the best (and to some, worst) features of J, Perl, and Ruby. One of the design principles is that every Project Euler problem will be a sub-80 character one-liner.

Lots of modern anime rips have had corruption issues with VLC in the past[0]. It's actually become a meme in those communities[1]. As x264 and 10bit encodings became ubiquitous, I think VLC's support also became fairly sufficient. However, the anime community is known for being early adopters of new encoding strategies. I believe it would benefit the development of VLC if some developers could check out what those encoders are doing every so often. It seems like they're always a few years ahead of how everyone else is encoding.

In CS (which is admittedly quite different), one counterbalancing incentive is that citations are at least as important as coauthorships in recent years, and releasing data is one relatively easy way to get a boost in citations. If you just release results, then people only cite your paper if they're doing particularly related work. But if you also release an accompanying dataset, all sorts of random people will cite this paper as the source of the data (if the data is interesting, anyway), even if they don't care about the paper itself.

Google is a ad company who uses search to attract customers.

I don't see the McDonald's reference as the same, drinks are part of their food product. Ads are not a integrated part of search (google did not start out having ads).
> There is nothing a train driver can do

Not even sound a horn to help alert the kids? Start slowing the train to give the kids more time to alert and escape, or reduce damage to the train and reduce chance of derailment in the case of the tree?

Trains don't stop on a dime, but neither do they take a mile of runway. I've been on a passenger train in the US South that had to do an emergency stop, and it stopped within it's own length.

>and the common perception is just marketing/how they made their mark initially.

It makes no sense to categorize McDonalds as a real estate company because its cost structure, hiring policies, marketing efforts, and everything else about the company in no way reflect the components of a traditional marketing company.

If "LeBron James" was a publicly traded company and you categorized him as an advertising spokesperson, would you then take him out of the gym and have him spend 4 years pursing an MBA?
thanks for the knee-jerk downvoting too.

At no point have I criticised anything about climate change, or even suggested that it might not be the most urgent pressing thing that human society faces.

But the automatic downvoting/criticising happens to any post that dares to mention anything like Climategate. I had to think twice before mentioning it because I knew I'd lose some of my precious internet points.

If this happens here, where there are no consequences, what happens in academia, where the penalties of being sceptical are so much more serious, even career-threatening?
Nope. You don't say "Steven Spielberg is in the cinema popcorn-and-soda business", he is in the movie bussines.

Yup don't say "Taylor Swift is in the online concert tickets business", she is in the music business.

McDonald's not in the hamburgers-and-cokes business, its in the fast food business.

Just because it's the way they make money it doesn't mean is the most appropriate classification.
Those results look slightly suspicious to me, in that I've seen TBB concurrent_hash_map scale much better than that...

I guess it depends on the workload ratio...

Would have been nice to see a binned/sharded hashmap in the results as well, I've seen pretty good scalability on those as well.
That is not know to be the case, only conjectured.
i have friends who work for retargeting ad-tech companies. That's those firms that bid for and deliver ads for things you just maybe bought.

The deal is those ads show up when the ad space is the cheapest. It's known as remant inventory. So the retargeters can pick it up for very cheap.

The deal is the companies KNOW that some people see ads for things they already bought. But some people are seeing ads for things like only considered, and bombarding them with ads does affect behavior. The question is, is the increase in revenue worth the cost of retargeting.

The answer is very much yes. Even as it annoys people who already bought it, which doesn't even factor since they already made the revenue from your purchase.
I'm more inclined to believe unfit parents are unfit because they care more about themselves then their children. Their worried about their own problems and not introspectively critiquing their own parenting...

Edit: totally misread your comment, yup I agree. I think I just took the extreme of what you originally said (that unfit parents are rare), my bad.

I'm looking for entry-level or junior dev work and a career change from a civil engineering background. While I'm a generalist into both front and backend and will happily accept work on either end, I am most interested in DevOps and backend. I'm comfortable on the CLI and with vim, tmux, git, ssh, etc. I also have some sysadmin experience. Excellent soft skills, and I'm easily in the 99th percentile of English fluency and written communication. If you need good documentation, technical writing, or even web copy, I can definitely help you with that if you're willing to carve out time for me in exchange for helping me improve my programming chops and technical development. Shoot me a message—I'm hungry to level up.

Thanks for the correction! I was remembering one of the members of VIA (the student association who manages the IT at Ecole Centrale) giving me a tour of their infrastructure and boasting about fiber optic networks but I guess that was was after VideoLAN and the switch from Token Ring to Ethernet.

Indeed. It is such a bizarrely anti-science attitude. I suspect the mindset is not about advancing scientific discourse, but maintaining the sense of prestige the journal's name carries.

It's really very simple -- either publicly supported science is meant to serve the common good, in which case total data transparency is required, or publicly supported science is actually meant to be a vehicle for corporate profits, in which case all scientific data is proprietary and those who share research data are cheating stockholders.

All this apart from the most basic principle of scientific philosophy, in which earnest, transparent efforts to find out which theories cannot be falsified has the highest priority.
The system within which many researchers must work to advance their careers is fundamentally at odds with sharing data. Collecting data is unglamorous, laborious, and often very expensive. This places much data collection firmly within the purview of research institutions, where resources and cheap labor are abundant. To progress in this context, one must publish. It isn't enough only to have collected the data; the researcher must also be the one to analyze it, and to do so before someone else does. Thus for any self-interested person in research, there is no incentive to disclose hard-won data to the public at large, effectively crowd-sourcing analysis and foregoing the career advantages and opportunities that a large store of useful data offers. One may find it unethical, but few who have committed many years of hard labor to advance in a research context would do otherwise.
Here are 3 steps I follow to learn anything
Technically, movie theaters are in the business of selling "movie experiences", which include the movie, the dark room, the chairs, and yes, the concession stands.
I'm laughing at your comment because it assumes the data is valuable! In reality a significant chunk of it is made up, this is more about people hiding their arses then corporate profits!
If we're going to simplify or generalize, I would simplify McDonald's to being a "sugar and salt" company. Those are the cravings in the human brain that it satisfies.

But yeah, I agree with you. Businesses are more complex than individual touchpoints.
I agree and IMO it's basically impossible to fully defend a dynamic site against a well-engineered L7 DDoS, short of operating at top-10-website scale and simply have more resources than the attacker(s). That does create a sort of "survival of the largest" effect which is a concern for smaller startups which anger or frighten a much larger competitor.

We need goverment intervention. The scientific community has shown itself unable to produce reproducible results, and unwilling to share raw data. If the NIH demands that PubMed indexes our work, they should likewise demand that all the results are published.

So, if set up a fashion magazine and then I fill it with ads, I'm in the fashion magazines business, or in the ads business?

If someone asks, which of the 2 answers would be more helpful to them?
Resist that calling. It’s probably not your purpose in life
Even if you forget the whole "where does the money come from?" angle, they're still an ad company: their flagship products are AdWords and AdSense.

OK, to be fair, search is still very important too (in fact the most important content provider for their ad business). So call them a "search and advertising company".

They use machine learning and are actively researching it, but that's true of a lot of companies. Is IBM an AI company?
Dow-DuPont would have been a better example.
One other key: don't identify current position by index, because then you'll miss or duplicate items when the list changes. If you show 1-10, then a change in the background adds 5.5 between 5 and 6, the next page will show 10-19. Worse, if a change in the background deletes 5, the next page will show 12-21, missing 11.

So instead, when showing items 1-10, the link for the next page of results should query for the next page full of items start after item 10.

That still lets the user miss added items (mostly unavoidable unless the list is sorted by "things the user hasn't seen yet"), but doesn't miss items when deleting seen items.
