With some limits, I bet. Can you jail a corporation? In many cases law enforcement is based on the ability of the state to limit personal freedom, through the use of force if needed. I wonder who'll be responsible if a self driven car kills somebody. Obviously not the passenger, especially if Google gets this "no controls" policy passed. But Google and the other car makers won't sell any of those cars if some of their people has to spend jail time for any major accident that sooner or later will inevitably happen. A possibility is that it will be legislated to be similar to what happens when a bridge collapses and kills somebody. An investigation and the engineers will go on trial. But that's strikingly different from what happens to human drivers.

(BTW, who's going to pay speed fines? They shouldn't happen but I'm sure they will)
No, IIRC, not just two sites. But just a few sites, may be in the range of 10, which is not at all the same as all Internet sites, and letting the users decide which (of the many other useful sites) they can access.

That definition isn't really true.

The term for anyone working outside of their home country is 'migrant worker'. Some migrant workers are called expats. These tend to be rich, at least on a global scale.

Many foreigners come to the US as seasonal farm workers. Almost no one refers to them as, say, "Mexican expats", even though by your definition that's exactly what they are.

While on the other hand, Madonna is one of many Americans who are called "expat" but live overseas and have no plans (or at least no definite plans) to return. There's a long list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_expatriates_... if you want to see more.

Even if not advertised, it was known to OC. Some people bought it for this purpose and they surely won't be happy.
Around 0.3% of the population in the US can be identified as transgender, so that knocks it down to 99.7%. Then there's other factors, where people don't adhere to any particular binary gender at all, which erodes that even further.

When you include the full spectrum of LGBTQI you probably have to cut that down to no more than 95%, possibly less.

When you say "for the vast majority" you presume they operate in isolation, but they don't. Most people will end up knowing at least one person that doesn't conform to the traditional gender patterns, which means it's a problem everyone faces.

I guess it depends on the cost of acquisition, I've not dealt with large companies for a while but they can be an epic pain to sell to, on the other hand the consultancy model is a hard thing to get right, the better your product is documented and easier to use the less likely you are to get the consulting work which is a kinda perverse incentive (cynically some of the the enterprise stuff I've run across seems to have lots of value and horrible documentation).

I guess it comes down to what percentage of the larger companies would want to pay the consulting/support rates, We don't pay support for anything since we largely use stuff that is well documented or very popular largely because we've been burnt on the consulting stuff before (no issue with paying a consultant on a product but when they are less technically competent than the person they are supposed to be helping that stings). Since you are the author that is extremely unlikely to be an issue though.

I guess the upside of going the pure consultancy route is in adoption, if a company can adopt your product commercially and then it becomes a core part of their offering they are more likely to pay since it becomes a critical part of their business, that's always a nice place to be - ask Microsoft/IBM :).
Part of the function of your frontal lobes is to moderate impulses, and they actually continue growing and maturing for several years past age 18. It sounds like you just had a little more growing up to do.
Funny to see so many pubsub things on the home page today. I just finished making a NodeJS CLI app that syncs the song you are playing on spotify to others (https://github.com/jonovono/spotluck)

I wanted a pubsub service so I could send the songs around. I wanted to be able to use it in a open source app and ideally client to client.

The one I ended up going with was Faye (http://faye.jcoglan.com/) but I tried a few others.

Will take a look at this! Looks neat.
The Fed is insolvent and is playing ponzi scheme games to kick the can down the road. When it all comes collapsing back down expect a complete overturn of the currency and of the petrodollar system.

I never passed judgement on this specific study (I only used the worst interpretation of it as an example), I was arguing against your absurd statement that since eating bread can kill some mice, doing any kind of research on mice is fine.

Secondly, are you seriously suggesting that we should keep breeding and killing lab mice because otherwise we might have to kill them? I can't even understand how can this make any sense. And nobody here is arguing for stopping all the animal research tomorrow. If demand drops, breeders will simply breed less of them. How is this a difficult concept?
as best i can logic (my abilities here are extremely limited), i'd say only a public entity would ever consider lending at 0% or lower. they receive a payoff indirectly through generated activity and tax revenue so could stand the real upfront loss. no non-crooked private party would entertain lending with no interest (i certainly wouldn't).
Or borrow and keep a stack of $100 bills under your mattress to be used to pay back a smaller sum at the end of the term?
This is a pretty huge problem in the US, though it doesn't get talked about much. The people who do suffer the penalties often get smeared so that people think this isn't a problem and couldn't happen to them ("It's like having Al Capone go to jail for tax evasion.").
I've been following this closely and think we are headed to self driving cars a lot sooner than we think.

He's right and wrong. Living in Sweden, you cannot just decide to register to vote in New York City or Minneapolis just because, as you don't meet the criteria to register.

But, once registered, you can vote as an absentee indefinitely from wherever you came from.

I'm not sure how it works in other situations, but I know that a few of my friends who joined the military moved to Texas and New Hampshire, as the military treats you as a resident of the state in which you enter service for tax purposes.
Seems like this article is mainly talking about cognitive dissonance occurring between a hypothetical beginner who imagines Stack Overflow is going to be a congenial conversation, and a hypothetical expert who curates SO as more of a high-viscosity Wikipedia that would ideally be ask once, answer once.

>just seize on the opportunity to mischaracterize a statement as pro-colonialist?

It's not a mischaracterization. Just because he now regrets calling his opponents "anti-colonialists" (or rather because the internet made him regret it) does not mean I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Did he explicitly state that he thinks India would be better off under colonial rule? No.

Did he call opponents of Free Basics "anti-colonialist"?

If he's uninformed about what colonialism did to India, then he should shut his mouth about it. But that would be too hard seeing as he has personal interest in Facebook getting a monopoly there and offering a second-class internet experience without having to invest anything into bandwidth (which would be paid for by the state).

Besides, the so-called "explanation" of his views in further tweets makes it look even worse because "anti-colonialism" is apparently very close to "nationalism". So those filthy Indians are actually being nationalists for telling poor little Mark to go fuck himself and his idea of a cheaply done monopoly.
If "209 drinks and salads" were on the evenings sheet for a wedding, it would mean 209 of each.

Furthermore, if a worker would come up to me an question,

Absolutley agree with the lack of documentation. As a newbie on Elixir and Phoenix I wish it will improve over time.
I do wonder if incarceration rates are different because women are treated differently at trial for violent offences. It's certainly not the only factor, but it could skew things even further than they would otherwise be.

Is it presumed that women are unlikely to reoffend where men are assumed to be likely to?

It's like how it's difficult to get female abusers prosecuted for just about anything, including rape or spousal abuse. There's some kind of bias here.
That would help with the scrolling issue, but it would still force me to read through tons of irrelevant tweets to find the few interesting ones...

I can definitely recall how alienating the stack overflow community was to me when I first started learning programming. You ask a simple question and they yell at you to Google it. You ask a complex question and they ask you why you're doing it. My solution was just to close myself off from StackOverflow and try any other community. My experience with IRC hasn't been great, but often my responses were miles better than what I would get on SO. Honestly, the best advice I can give to beginners is to make friends who know a bit more and go to friends first whenever possible (at the very least to help them make a good SO post with proper terminology, etc.)
How do you figure? In other words, how do you define "success rate"?
The project had its first commit yesterday. I wouldn't expect any sort of serious/reliable documentation until more of the project gets implemented.
I feel StackOverflow is a bad place even as a professional. I don't agree with 90% of "closing" of questions, frequently closing a question is the ultimate upvote. StackOverflow seems to prefer questions that can be answered by just copying the fine manual - and frowns on those that might involve discussion.

From time to time I still use it, but for me it has jumped the shark.
I second that. Elixir is great, but I was not a Ruby programmer, and prefer other syntax. I've tried LFE, and I love Lisp, but it has not gained traction. Perhaps I'll look into Luerl. Both LFE and Luerl were created by Robert Virding one of the original workers on Erlang with Joe Armstrong. I just might go with straight Erlang. I don't think the syntax is that bad.
It's not sensible if you're principled about your technology choices, but if you just want to whip something up quickly and all you have are "full stack" developers, Node gives them the ability to use just one language for everything, as well as a pretty high performance runtime. So the value is there, given those constraints, which may or may not apply to you.
To an extent. It also touches on the aggressive jerkishness of a certain segment of the developer world whose practitioners make their bones on a well-nourished superiority complex.

The main valid complaints in Dan's post were:

1. Insufficient testing & coverage. Code coverage is now at 84% of base Julia, from somewhere around 50% at the time he wrote this post. While you can always have more tests (and that is happening), I certainly don't think that this is a major complaint at this point.

2. Package issues. Julia now has package precompilation so package loading is pretty fast. The package manager itself was rewritten to use libgit2, which has made it much faster, especially on Windows where shelling out is painfully slow.

3. Travis uptime. This is much better. There was a specific mystery issue going on when Dan wrote that post. That issue has been fixed. We also do Windows CI on AppVeyor these days.

4. Documentation of Julia internals. Given the quite comprehensive developer docs that now exist, it's hard to consider this unaddressed:

http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/devdocs/julia/

So the legitimate issues raised in that blog post are fixed.

My post was not intended as an attack on GA.

Re being a commercial feeder, that's like lots of things, if individuals start refusing to bear the cost of obtaining hours, airlines will be required to make changes. They might increase pay for pilots, lobby for changes to the licensing process or provide alternative ways to get those flying hours (I'm not sure how you subsidize hours without perverse incentives, but I guess you could protect investment using loans that had forgiveness for service).

You've pointed out some purposes that GA fulfills, but you haven't addressed what harm those lead emissions are actually doing. It could be minimal. Or, it could be pretty severe when you look at the aggregate impact. At a structural, societal level, poisoning people to avoid higher direct costs for air transport is likely not a good trade-off, so it is necessary to look at both sides of it.

The best reply to such simplistic pro-colonialist comments about India is this graph compiled by British economist Angus Maddison:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Maddison#/media/File:1_A...

Basically, India and China together represented the largest percentages of the world's GDP, until they were colonized, after which their contribution plunged. Of course, the decline was multifactorial - colonialism wasn't just one specific thing, and there were seeds of instability that colonists took advantage of - but the larger historical trend seems pretty clear.

> The thing is, gender identity is very much affected by sex too.

Affected by? Yes.

The same thing? No.

> That's why I dislike that many attack gender roles and other social gender norms indiscriminately.

Huh. That sounds like something I'd expect to read about firsthand on Tumblr moreso than something that reasonable people would do.

> At the same time there shouldn't be any room for attacking those who don't follow the norms either. And of course some norms are just harmful. It's not so easy to just throw them all out.

I think that's fair.
Excessive saving can be a problem, which the Fed is trying to address. It can be problem that can depress demand and drive down inflation to deflationary levels, which can further depress demand as people put off payments.

On the issue of penalising savers: passive savers can't expect a good risk-less return on their investment when there isn't the economic growth to support it. Savers are basically asking for a free lunch while everyone else is suffering from depressed incomes and profits when they complain about the Fed's base rate decisions penalising savers.
This article fails to notice the primary problem with people learning a programming language.

Just as with a real language you learn the highest amount of material by absorbing explanations and expressions by qualified users of the language; not by immediately trying to form sentences as soon as you know 5 words.

A user of a language only becomed a skilled user when their mind contains a large enough corpus of absorbed expressions to imitate and combine.

IOW: Yes, the newbie does need to read the manual first. And after that some working code. (Though admittedly many manuals are crap and recommending a good, useful and fitting manual is a skill in itself that is lacking in many professionals.)
I understand enough French and Latin (and have watched The Pirates of the Caribbean) to know that the word for "die" in Spanish will sound something like "mourir", but with a different ending.

Google Translate says "morirás". Can a "tú" be added for emphasis? (That's how pronouns work in Latin.) The girl was very anxious.

She was also holding a squashed plastic bottle, and making slashing motions across her throat. One of the other girls was doing the same to her leg.

The most recent review on TripAdvisor [1] says "My travel buddy and I got mugged by 3 street hoods with a knife on the steps going back down into Quito".

Can you think of an alternative explanation?

One of the best articles explaining why ENGINEER interviewing is fucked is summed up in this life-changing article. I say life-changing because after you read it, it will change the way you think about engineering jobs at companies with managers.

Zach Holman would be particularly interested in that article since it was written by someone who promotes the idea of Open Allocation (i.e. companies without managers)—which is how GitHub used to work when Holman was there.

It's only when you see the bullshit side of managerial status that it becomes apparent why Engineering interviewing is fucked.
The unfortunate difference probably boils down to sneakerheads being a substantial portion of Nike's high-end business, while overclockers and computer performance enthusiasts are nothing more than a rounding error in Intel's balance sheet when you compare them to a customer like Amazon buying chips by the thousand. It doesn't matter if your average overclocker buys a new chip every year to keep up with the latest and greatest instead of every 4 years like his less-savvy friends might.

Don’t tell them to RTFM, Google it,

No, just no. There is no point to any of all this search technology and this accumulated knowledge if no one uses it.

Someone asking a question that is answered in the documentation or has been asked and answered over and over should be pointed at those sources. One of the most important skills anyone is going to learn in a technical position is finding answers to questions you have that have already been answered. The next important skill they have to learn is doing a little bit of your own research in understanding your problem.

This goes especially for places like StackOverflow which is not a discussion forum. It's value is diminished by asking and answering the same questions over and over.

EDIT: I'll mention the last part of the statement I quoted too, it's unfortunate the lumped the second half of the statement with the first.

> correct their grammar, or give your opinions about their choice of technology

Correcting grammar is not helpful in any way in this context. If you can't understand what they're getting at, ask for clarification. Nitpicking grammar is just being a dick.

Opinions about what they're using may have one very narrow use, if what they're using to do what they're trying to do is just so very wrong. And we're talking 'I'm trying to create a pure HTML page to run this Nuclear reactor' levels of wrong. Most of the time, you do need to keep it to yourself. Especially on sites like StackOverflow, which is not a discussion board.
