To a first approximation, when a client doesn't pay on time, I stop working for them. Clients who don't pay are worse than one less client because there's no income and there is an allocation of resources...both directly and to collections.

There are cases where I have had a long standing relationship with a good client who was experiencing short term problems and let me know about it and we worked something out. Those cases are very rare and required an existing good relationship.

On the other hand, people who started out slow to pay never get better.

Good luck.
There are cases where virtual functions lend a lot of flexibility, but for games they are usually a sign of a programmer that doesn't understand how pointer chasing destroys performance. If you look at Ogre (and I think box2d) both architectures could be massively sped up by not using arrays of pointers.

And some developers bring this on themselves. They could use the boring conservative technology that they know inside and out from the last project, or they could use something that's new and hot this month, which they have never done or have much less experience with (but is exciting).

I would be careful here. Laws like this are close to demonstrating a lack of respect for property rights and that is not a good direction for any democracy.

We have always had areas where the cost of housing was too high but the reactionary idea of taxing it to death is in effect the idea of that some property rights are important but others are not.

If any such idea was pushed then be sure that protection is applied to citizens of the country involved. Even this is dangerous as it tells foreigners that their money is welcome but their rights are subject to the whims of the times.

The real solution is, build more places to live. What is preventing the building of affordable housing? Find that and fix that. The response is far more proper and rewarding than trying to force someone out of their property because you think they don't deserve to own it if they don't live in a set amount of time
I'm in the same spot but completely opposite at the same time. I'm happily single. I've had a lot of relationships, good and bad, but in the end nothing makes me more happy than being alone. I thought it would be a phase but it has been many years now and I don't miss a thing.
Capitalism?

More generally, people have prejudices about what crime "looks like", which isn't an office, and there is a huge pro-business bias generally in the West based on the idea of "creating jobs".
Those type of courier services are very popular throughout Latin America. I always assumed that developed countries like Australia had their own local suppliers and didn't need to buy from US-specific sites. Not enough to justify the existence of such courier services, anyways.
I've talked to a few girls about this. While some are absolutely just out for all the freebies they can get, others have said that men will get increasingly aggressive when you turn down offers for stuff like that - like they insist on being "a provider" and you turning that down is an insult to their manhood.

Seems like a no-win situation all round, really. If you take it, you're encouraging his behaviour (and making him feel like you're indebted to him). If you reject it you're going to find out how he deals with rejection, which, particularly in drunken scenarios, can literally be dangerous to you.

I wonder how much climate is playing a factor in Vancouver's issues. Just from my perspective, I'd love to move to Vancouver, but would never, ever consider Montreal, not because it's not a beautiful city, but because of the harsh winters.

Other people don't seem to really care about weather extremes or scenery, etc. I have no insight into these real estate investors dumping money into property, sure if they aren't living there, there's some other factors involved.

My point is not about how attraction works, it's about what people do about it. You can feel attraction and decide to act on it almost instantly, but that's still your choice and you are responsible for what you do. But if you feel that attraction is "making you do something" against your will, when you realize negative consequences of your actions – that's definition of addiction.

I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Real estate in DC is very high and did not suffer as much in the Great Recession, due to the extremely limited supply of available housing. But I don't think our problem is foreign investors. Many people who moved into the burbs in the 80s and 90s now want to move back, as DC becomes more desirable. I see young people everywhere, even though it's hard for someone just starting out to buy here. But because DC can't physically grow as a city, it becomes harder and harder to find places for new housing.

Out here in the burbs, it's a different story. A development just down the road from me suffered very badly in the downturn, with houses losing as much as 50% of their value. Some of those owners will never be above water on their houses. I'm very glad I chose not to move from my townhouse into a single family home a decade ago, as prices soared, even though I really wanted a place with a mad scientist basement workroom. And as my friends retire, most are moving to warmer and/or cheaper places.

That's still a huge majority of PCs. The self-built PC has always been a bit of a market anomaly; people don't have self-built Macs and self-built cars are a truly tiny number.

Faulty Towers: The Crisis in Higher Education
I disagree, while it is important to be aware of social cues, this way of thinking would limit one's options too much. It is too binary for starters. Not all women and men are like this. Secondly, one can impose his/her own frame from time to time. If one really believes that texting is the only social acceptable thing to do, then that person gives any power he/she has away without even 'negotiating' with the other person.

It's like politics. Some people wouldn't even pick up the phone and only respond to texts (they vote for party A). Some people only call (they vote for party B). Yet, a lot of people have a tendency towards one or the other but essentially they're in the middle. And everyone knows you can influence swing voters. And I think everyone should know that you can influence most other people. So if one loves to call, then I'd suggest he/she picks up the phone and call. If one loves to text, then he/she should text. But one should always be too wary of adapting to others too fast if the manner of communication gives more stress than positivity.

Simple :) You can trust a metta mage on this one ;)

Your cognitive dissonance is astounding. With most package managers, unless you know exactly what you want then you're up shit creek. That's assuming you even know what a package manager is, for the millions of people using App Stores every day they'd be completely lost if you asked them to install software on a Linux system.

People often don't go looking for a specific piece of software but rather an idea of what they'd like their software to do. Google and Apple have made tremendous efforts to make their stores discoverable, searchable, and to provide clear feedback and reviews from other users. They also make sure their store icons are front and center on their devices in the hopes that people can find them. The web is also littered with App Store links because the reality is that most people just Google for help.

The unfortunately thing is that there's little commonality or consistency between Linux Distros so if everyone were suddenly on Linux they'd each learn something slightly unique and you'd end up with a lot of frustrated users trying to help each other out while you scoff at them in the corner saying "Hurr durr Linux is easy".

You may be thinking of the lack of user namespacing in Docker. Until v1.10 root in a container was the same user as root outside the container.

This did not automatically lead to allow a contained user to breakout, but made it easier.

In 1.10 user namespacing reduces this risk as the root user in a container can be remapped to another user account outside the container.
You know the old story:

Whether you're a lion or a gazelle, you'd better start running

And who enjoys running? Nobody. It's just the way things are. Sex is hard work, in any possible way, throughout the whole animal kingdom.
This is her life. She can't stop the guys from hitting on her, short of doing awful things like downplaying her looks or hiding herself away.

I wear a suit and tie to work every day. I didn't really understand her position until I started job hunting. I like wearing suits. I own five of them, three are custom made. Now I have to make a decision. Do I wear a suit and tie to my in-person job interviews?

Coders seem to have an irrational hatred of suits and ties for some reason. The conservative choice would be to wear a polo shirt and slacks to my interviews. But to do that would put me in a weird position. Once I get the job, am I going to start wearing my suits again? When, the very first day? Or hide them away in the closet until I feel ready to?

Appearance is political, and therefore dangerous. But it's also very personal, you wind up wanting to take the risks anyway just to "be who you are". To purposefully choose to be less attractive feels like you're doing violence to yourself. The only real choice, once people start noticing you and complimenting you and you start noticing what it's doing for your life, is to keep going with it.

You can't just turn it off. You can choose to, but it never feels good to do that, and you're just going to face the same decision tomorrow. I, and she, would rather deal with the consequences of being really attractive than to stop. That includes being accepting of other's gifts, others' attention.

When she tells me about her experiences, she's not complaining. She's noting something that she's already been dealing with for years. She's had the internal conversations with herself, should she downplay it, should she present less of herself to the world. Should she stop letting guys express their appreciation for her. Over and over again, for years.

They're hard questions to contemplate, and there's only one real answer.

Lessons in Presenting from Valentine's Day
I was nominated by my counsellor and teachers in 5th and 6th grade. This was South Florida, other schools districts are different. I took an exam of puzzles, math, and wordplay. A few days later I received a later saying I qualified and to meet the ESL/gifted counsellor.

At the time I had 8 classes. 6 of them were required: math, english, history, etc., and 2 were free electives: sports, music, technical (computers and woodshop). As a 11yo these were the few freedoms we were allowed in school and the work didn't feel like work. I enjoyed making music. I enjoyed making stupid, wooden gifts for my family and friends. So the counsellor says we're dropping your 2 electives so you can have take our gifted classes. And that is when I hoped right out of it.

Now that is the gifted (also called ESL) program in none exceptional schools. It's usually just an extra class. There are schools of excellence, governor's school, magnet school, etc. Which focus on different curriculum. These will have an emphasis around math, language, arts, sports. You apply by filing an application or submitting a portfolio. Some, you have to be nominated by your teachers.
That's an odd impression for you to have gotten!
So the Bayesian is reasoning based on what he doesn't know i.e. that the coin could land either side because his guess as to which side is heavier would be a 50/50 guess - not the actual outcome.

Frequentist bets on the outcome regardless of what he knows i.e. that the coin will be more likely to land on one side than the other and it doesn't matter which side that is.

Isn't this just two different perspectives: Slicing vs Limits. Bayesian is concerned with outcome of a single trial; frequentist is concerned with the sum of all outcomes.

> Also, honestly in this day and age is it really appropriate to take at minimum 4 days to respond to a question from your "significant other"? That is not normal. [emphasis added]

This is the real problem. Once you're dating someone (that is, it's past the courtship part and you've acknowledged the relationship), if you can't check your communication devices at least once or twice a day for messages from them (excluding hectic work/life schedules), there's a problem. You're continuing the game from courtship, you don't respect them, or you aren't actually into the relationship.

EDIT: Added 'once or '. I realize this is a YMMV moment, but even if you don't carry your phone during the day (like me), you can check it when you wake up and before bed. And if you're interested/invested in someone, you've got to make more time than that or there's never an actual conversation.
> Big cities deal with this all over, so how do they deal with this "problem,"

As far as I can tell, they simply don't. I don't think there is any city that "deals with it", or even tries to, in any way.

Every city I can think of that has value in living in, is experiencing explosive bubble-like growth in them. Even the supposedly "cheap" or "low cost of living" cities are undergoing this process.

I think most cities secretly want this to happen, since it leads to higher property taxes and drives out members of their community they consider less desirable.
I wonder how much of this and similar cases are based on low interests. You can't keep your money in the bank because you won't get any interests and at the same time leveraging your money and buying housing is cheaper. So maybe the solution to housing prices is significantly higher interest rates?
As someone who just moved from Vancouver to the Bay Area, it's obvious the issue isn't housing. It's income. My apartment in trendy yaletown was $2350/month for a very nice 2 bed, 2 bath place within 10 mins of anything in downtown. Try finding something even remotely as nice around Silicon Valley.

The issue we should be tackling is the low wages seen in the area. The same developer who could make $100k USD in the valley makes $60k CAD in Vancouver.
At first, I was like, what did I do to offend you? but then I realized that you meant the author of the terms. Ha. :)
Right, you use C++ to build game engines, you can use scripting languages on top of that once the engine is built.
This is interesting. We are planning trips for the summer of 2016 and 2017 the views will help out to mark places to see.
That's essentially what Docker hub already is. you can do

and get a postgres service which runs in a container.
My takeaway is that development managers shouldn't put a bunch of lead developers together on a project, unless the project is big enough that each leader could own an independent piece. Otherwise, toes get stepped on, folks start bickering, and progress grinds to a halt.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Vancouver but outside of the small downtown core, there isn't much zoning for density. Government policy has created a supply shortage.

However, condos come with their own issues as well. There has been a building boom in Toronto that has it owns issues.. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/fears-that-shoddy-toro....

I think urban planning is more complicated than simply increasing supply.
Configuring bundler using bundle config
That's not how transfer pricing works. Mutuality that extends to fund management means the ultimate owners are the customers of the fund - the people who placed their money with Vanguard. So unless you extend the concept of transfer pricing to all mutuality (something investor-owners would love), co-ops and other ownership and business models that don't maximize profit in the same way that investor ownership does, that just not a "transfer pricing" issue. That idea that investor ownership has some special place in the economy is a pretty vile concept.
I used to live in Florida and amazingly enough the homestead exemption works pretty well. I'm sure there are some people abusing it, but it's effective overall. You can only have it on one home and it doesn't apply to businesses so the only real fraud angle would be to live out of state and take the exemption on a single Florida property. You have to be a citizen or permanent alien resident which weeds out foreign buyers looking to park money. You'll also need to be able to access its mailbox, be registered to vote at the address, etc etc. A lot of potential legal trouble for a $50,000 valuation haircut on your tax bill.

The fact that Florida has no state income tax is an even bigger incentive to actually reside in Florida if you have a lot of passive income coming your way.

Except the chance of a human seeing those messages is still constrained. I don't think your 'average' person is creeped out by a computer analyzing their messages. To the extent some might be, they have so little digital autonomy (gmail etc) that the only way they can change that is to avoid electronic communication for the things they'd like to keep private. And the majority are clearly not doing that for the bulk of their communication.
Sure, they had a more meaningful response, but a public response immediately saying "We hear you, and we'll have a more detailed response after we look things over. Thank you." Would have sufficed and been way better for their case.

Ignoring your users just to spend a month writing a response to those users is not in the best interests.
> to include the ability to do deduplication

But... Won't it be an ugly kludge?

From what I understood, Subuser does introduce the duplication problem just because of the way it works. It didn't exist with traditional package management when done right (because shared components are packaged separately), and it didn't exist with Docker (because it uses layers). If software (any software) essentially adds some issue and then tries to fight it off, it's very likely that things will be ugly in architectural sense.

> But when you update a dependency, even if only one line of one file has changed, that dependency must be downloaded completely anew

Are you aware about debdelta?
FWIW I think this is pretty cool. The main docker use-case is not desktop software, and some of it's choices are unlikely to suit that use-case well.

So, good to see a project look at that aspect. I would quite like to be able to run all my apps which access untrusted services (e.g. all browsers) in a container which I can easily wipe/reset.
This is becoming relatively common these days. As hospital systems switch to more-advanced EHRs, patients are often asked to sign up for a web-based account. From my experience, most hospitals are either going with products from Cerner or EPIC, and both offer this function (and even the ability to read physician notes, etc.)
