The problem I'm concerned about isn't raising the average temperature of the ocean. The problem I'm concerned about is localized heating. Marine life is far more vulnerable to rapid temperature changes than life on land. We've seen dead zones developing in the past downstream of power-plants, as the warm water discharge from the steam turbines raises the temperature of the water and reduces its oxygen carrying capability. My concern is that if we put datacenters in the ocean, they'll create localized hot-spots with much the same result.
I don't get this. My mental image is all the toddlers of Beijing queuing at the banks, with a wad of banknotes in one hand and a pacifier in the other, unsure which one to give to the teller.
It's not that "rare" if my buddy was able to replicate it just by opening irccloud in a browser on another computer. So is it rare that it happens, but when it happens it happens to everyone in one network?
>So now vegans are purportedly dying by the millions from B12 vitamin toxicity?

That's a very, very strange interpretation of what I wrote.

On the purely academic point, it's even more ridiculous in that one doesn't have to die from a bad diet in order for it to be unhealthy. Your comment is both a red-herring and a straw-man at the same time!

>The level to which someone will go to justify their addiction to animal foods is truly remarkable.

As I suspected, it's really not about health, is it?

## Edit, re your comment below:

I see the misunderstanding. You skipped the part where I said those where the first two results of a search that took me 5 seconds. You can find other examples pertaining to deficiencies in lean body mass, vitamin D, and (IIRC) testosterone in men. The cortisol literature also gives very mixed results, so while I suspect the causes are actually not related to veganism per se, I seriously question the purported protective effects thereupon.

Again, I've given you all the tools to learn about this on your own, but you'd apparently rather quote "plant positive" than cultivate an interest in science.

Best of luck.
TLDR:

- Basecamp releases v3

- Basecamp markets to their customers to upgrade to v3

- Some people upgraded & noticed their integrations with 3rd party applications no longer work (presumably thinking it's the 3rd party developers' fault)

- 3rd party developers aren't happy that they can't update their integrations since v3 lacks an API

- DHH says the API is in the works but hasn't been as high priority compared to other features on their list

- 3rd party developers get mad at DHH's response

It seems impossible a few seconds until the trick is revealed.
I think the computer science department has used internet really well with the open source projects. But, the same can't be said of most experimental sciences. In life sciences, we sometimes wait a few years from when an idea strikes a researcher to academic publication. An open-source collaborative approach could have immensely sped up progress. Not only that, the academic papers often describe only the experiments that succeeded. Anyone trying to reproduce the result will make the same mistakes as the original authors. What a blatant waste of human brain hours!
I think this is a little bit disingenuous. The Clojure syntax used for the operation was the cleanest possible, whereas the syntax used in the other languages was not. Here's the Python example:

> [sum(t) for t in zip(a, b)]

It's clear that this alternate version is easier to understand:

> [x+y for (x,y) in zip(a,b)]

Beyond that, of course functional languages like Clojure lend themselves to creating "small, nice things." That's why functional languages like Racket/Scheme are often used to teach introductory CS courses: they're not too hard to read, and lend themselves nicely to explaining basic concepts, while not burdening the user with enormously complicated syntax. However, this can change depending on the context. I think it would be fair of the author to bring up scaling difficulties of Clojure: conventions for "small, nice things" occasionally produce really ugly abstractions at scale.
Yes... and then you've got Opportunity still doing valuable science 48 times longer than the three months it was designed for. Gold medals aren't enough - there should be a Nobel prize for engineering for the design team.

The operations team is just as smart. They're using tricks like driving it up north-facing slopes in winter to keep the solar panels illuminated by the lower sun, allowing them to continue high-power work (grinding etc.) year-round.

All in all, a great testament to human ingenuity.
I am incredibly happy with Google Keep. Set it up like a Chrome desktop application and you can tap into all the awesomeness of Drive also. It's very simple, syncs with your phone app, etc.
Not true. Not only that the OO is not dead yet. But the main obstacle for Elixir is that there are just not enough stable libraries. You couldn't get the productivity you can easily get on Ruby or JS. That Elixir is something to watch, and it may have some clear user cases (specially where Erlang shines), I would agree... but no much else for now.
I'll guess your country isn't on this list.

The only deficiency you could find with a vegan diet was B12 in a few case studies, which is easily remedied by taking a supplement or eating fortified foods, to which you opposed with a dubious claim supplements can be toxic. All the while, you ignore the overwhelming evidence against eating animal foods, vegetable oils and other high-fat processed foods. In fact, it is more about mental health, namely the addiction people have to eating animals. I see you would rather allude to "some" evidence of "some" problems with the vegan diet, which is known as confirmation bias.

Yeah, I'd always take the points you mentioned into account when reviewing a solution. Along with saving time I did find reviewing Codility submissions quite revealing. I've seen cases where the candidate couldn't get code to even compile, another where they didn't know Java includes map data structures existed (asked them in the follow up interview) and another where the implementation for an easy task was super slow when the nearly fastest approach should have been obvious (again, asked about in interview).

I'd say it's better for identifying really unsuitable candidates than it is for identifying who are the best ones.

Very interesting question and worth an experiment or two. Personally, I don't think it would help because the patterns are complex and it is an internal representation. It would be like feeding it a hash values and labelling them "hash values". That wouldn't necessarily help you discriminate pre-hashed values. That said, I would definitely be interested in the results of a real test.

I like your format here. Humans tend to make snap judgements before they think. For example, when they read something, their mind jumps to a "agree" or "disagree" state much faster than they can actually sit and think about why they feel that way. If you're interested, check out Blink (Gladwell) and Thinking Fast and Slow (Kahneman). Agree/Disagree trees like this nicely map into this "fast" thinking style.
That video appears to be talking about epidemiology. That is fine if you are interested in the broader public health concerns, however it cannot possibly give actionable advice to an individual.
Yes, firmware blobs suck, no argument there. But forget about that aspect for a moment, and consider the firmware a mostly unchangeable part of the hardware.

Hardware has bugs. A lot of hardware has had bugs for a long time. Linux has had tables of "quirks" for hardware pci ids / usb ids / etc. for a long time, for thousands of buggy hardware devices it needs work-arounds for. Some of those bugs are really in hardware, some are in the firmware loaded on the hardware, it doesn't really matter. This is a pervasive reality, and it can't just be demanded that the user get hardware which is not "shitty" by this metric ... it's all a trade-off.

And finally, I've used linux on bios systems and efi systems, and I've never needed efivars mounted, I've always set up the bootloader some other way (which was simpler for me to control and manage as I prefer). My personal biggest complaint about systemd is how it automatically mounts and starts and uses all kinds of stuff that I don't need. I prefer to set up what I need and want, and not have anything else cluttering up my system, just waiting to cause serious reliability or security problems, and getting in my way when I'm debugging something else.

So I'll be up-voting all stories about "systemd did something automatically and on some systems it was unfortunate" because yeah, UNFORTUNATE STUFF HAPPENS WHEN STUFF HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY. This is why I left windows and OS X in the first place! So I had easy and convenient control over my computer! And now it takes extra effort to override and disable all the crap that systemd is doing automatically, and I resent it. (I actually already have a script on my systems that unmounts efivars and pstore and some other unneeded filesystems after boot.)
Ubuntu, HAProxy, Ejabberd, Redis are the solid standouts.

You may try study up on data and analyics and then leverage your experience to get a contract where you can work remote, shoot for a 1 yr gig, at a lower end rate $50/hr. - you should be able to gross 100k for the year. This will get you enough experience to be able to get it on your resume.

Then rework your resume, highlighting data analyst (entire 1st page of your resume should be this job) - and a long history of 'data' work (pg 2 of your res).. Use that to get a permanent job with a consulting co. You may have to travel but you can live anywhere.

That's what you'd think, but intuitive CSS working differently, or not at all, depending on your browser is what made Bootstrap necessary in the first place.

You already have a job- a leg up in the game. People say it's easier to get a job when you already have one and it's true.But why do you even need a new job? Why not start a project on your own? Start a side-gig? Join a start-up? The possibilities are there.

As someone just trying to acquire enough tech skills to launch out on my own and flesh out my ideas, I know first-hand some of the demons.If I had your skills I'd be out there banging that keyboard until it yielded some respect! or surfing those job sites until I landed an offer.

You're not at a dead end. Life brims with possibilities. You need to get up and go out. Have a conquerors heart. Make a plan to change your life and world one consistent step at a time.

Elixir is nice, it's a nice functional language that's built on top of a rock solid platform for building realtime and distributed systems. It's a relatively new language on the block though, so the ecosystem is a bit lacking. Both Node.js and the JVM ecosystem are battle tested platforms that allow you to build the same type of applications you'd use for Elixir. Both can handle 10k connections (of course many platforms can...). It seems like at this point to get the same level of tooling and libraries with Elixir you need to be comfortable with Erlang, or at least consuming it as a library.

Another competitor is Go. People are afraid of functional languages because they think they are difficult to grasp and Go wins here because it is dead simple. Some say too simple, but any developer can get up to speed with it pretty quickly. It also has a better concurrency store than Node and some of the JVM languages. It's concurrency story is not as good as Erlang or Elixir, but in reality, many business and problems don't need that.

I think the market is going to pick something other than Elixir. I think it's going to be Go for a large set of problems (for many reasons) but for many problems people are going to stick with Java or JavaScript because they are ubiquitous.
