I'm guessing the number would be a fair bit lower when you subtract the savings from abolishing the existing unemployment welfare system (and the cost of administering it).

And, in theory, those previously on 'tapering welfare' now face less of a disincentive to work, so there'd be a bump in pretty much any tax revenue base correlated with GDP (i.e. almost all of them).

EDIT: Just to give you a sense of what I mean about EMTRs, here's a chart from Australia's most recent tax system review -> http://i.imgur.com/jhRYXiB.png?1 . The interaction of the tax and welfare system means low income earners face an effective marginal tax rate of almost 80% at certain points of the income range (mostly due to payment tapering).
I find that when I stand in front of a laptop, either the keys are too high or the screen is too low, and I bend my back a lot. Of course the proportions are the same when sitting, but in a chair, my lower back is supported so it's not so bad. But when I stand, my posture is awful. How do you deal with this?
libguestfs can be used to do the diffing. Create the initial disk, do stuff in VM, use libguestfs to do diff. I almost built a hacky omnibus packaging tool this way. I say almost because it turns out to be just as simple to just compile stuff from source and install in /opt and then package those files.
I second https://www.brainpickings.org/ and also would like to add http://nextdraft.com/ (though it is more "general news") - other than that I can't help, because I actually prefer to use rss-feeds over Newsletters.

Some RSS-Feeds I follow and which might be of interest: http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/ - http://www.rand.org/blog.html - https://blog.codinghorror.com/ - https://bsdmag.org/

(PS: You can also get rss-updates about new entries in Youtube-Playlists (google it) and if you use Twitter and follow some interesting people, that might also be a good way to stay up to date)
How sure are you about that? Most "white" people don't actually fully integrate to the culture, despite marrying and raising kids.

Take a look at this video about a Chinese villager with Russian ancestry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rS30IjG05c

He is completely culturally Chinese, although in a rural kind of way, in his speech and mannerisms. If you can read Chinese, the comments are very inclusive.

"Non-Asian" people have settled in China for hundreds of years, especially Arab traders who arrived through the silk road. Multiculturalism is not a foreign concept in China.
Clang also has -Oz for even more aggressive size optimizations. I find that it is identical codegen to -Os half the time and shows some nice size reductions the other half of the time.
While there isn't a specific section covering endnotes, they are interspersed sparingly as tonal changes in the narrator's voice. This effect is used in other readings of his works and is easy to follow.
Yeah, I hear you. Community-driven newsletters / news sites have a very narrow success zone -- too small and it'd lack fresh content, too large and it'll have SNR problems.

I think the best solution is to find one or two people who know their stuff to curate everything. Add community engagement mechanisms incrementally. For example, enable social media sharing and commenting before account creation, upvoting, and article submissions.

Wonder how a Quora/Medium model (invite-only) or The Information (paywall) would work for newsletters, since content isn't original?

RuneScape was a giant reason I got into programming and has a special place in my heart.

I was about 13 years old at the time. I recall reverse engineering the client, modifying existing Java private servers and interacting with a range of hackers that have taught me lessons that I still remember until this day. The race to see who could reverse engineer the client and implement a feature the fastest was amazingly exciting.

I remember the day I was messaging someone to send me the packets for spells in the game. They sent me the packet id, how to supply x,y,z coordinates for the opposite player, and I was suddenly shooting fireballs in my private server. Amazing!

I'm now working at a game development company and teaching at a local college (I did not finish high school.) and I'm thankful for the entire RuneScape botting and private server community
This is from 2007.
I was lucky enough to go in '92 and Les VRP killed it, can't wait to see how the HD (from '91) video holds up to my memories.

I have a Thinkpad T520 and can bend the display back all the way (~180 degrees), so that takes care of this problem. Also maybe consider a pair of running shoes for inside only? They help maintaining a good posture and standing might be more comfortable for you.
Some other solutions: use shoe boxes, coke cans, thick books, etc to prop up your monitor and keyboard. Alternatively, you can get a chair that encourages movement and circulation. At minimum, with no desk/chair changes, get up and walk around every 45 minutes (many apps will give you a timer for this purpose)
Maybe he should have added log points instead of printfs. He could have used an existing logging framework instead of writing his own. Still

1) writing your own code is a valuable learning experience

2) wasting time is a drag on the team and on the company so he should compromise between learning and producing (but where was management?)

3) too much logging pollutes the code too
> The only difference between a thread and asynchronous programming is how you deal with the context

Coroutines are not threads. Each serve vastly different purposes. Coroutines are basically an easier way of expressing certain kinds of state machines. They're great for games when you need a character or other game object to progress through different states. They free you from 3-10x boilerplate that would be required if you had to write and manipulate a state machine directly. They're not related to threading whatsoever.
You are, as ever, totally right; there's no reason to be rude. Sorry.
Sure, but transforming a feed-forward neural net into an RNN is also not just a fine-tuning.
Get an extra mouse and keyboard. Even a cheap $15 mouse/keyboard are often more comfortable to use than a laptop trackpad and built-in keyboard (IMO at least)

No, but I have a hard time finding anything clansmen do ethical. If your ideology is motivated by bigotry, that's the problem.

The article liberally drops anti-Chinese sentiment at every paragraph. Things like:

"Of Chinese heritage, Liew was born in Malaysia in August 1957."

That would be the equivalent of writing:

"Of Kenyan heritage, Obama was born in the USA".
Thanks, as I've mentioned elsewhere - I am (possibly) alive right now because someone else took the time to write about this in their blog (the one I reached with Google). I feel obligated to help spread some additional awareness.
Or Liew was charge for violations of the "Economic Espionage Act". And theft is more common as a charge since one doesn't need to prove as many extenuating facts i.e. only that it was stolen, not why it was stolen. I suspect the author was being careful to be factual.

I didn't know something like that exists. I knew of win10 app sandboxes, but this is even more generic. I'll definitely use it whenever possible.

I got so used to this being relatively easy on linux (grsec, firejail, seccomp, etc.), but never heard of easy ways to apply it on win.
Just not as often, I imagine.

Well I know this may be off topic but Mr Danilo's rant against US military seems narrow minded. It's BECAUSE we have US military that US citizens are not exposed to exposure, hunger, fear, rape.
Both you and comment parent might find this interesting: A few years back a friend and I designed a web-app that had as its core difference the ability to automatically schedule all of your tasks (based on estimated workunits / pomodori and deadlines) around all of your existing appointments and free time. At its core, it could answer the question: "What should I be working on now?" -- but it could do this in about 1 second (that's how long the solver took) for the coming 3 months. You could redo this analysis every time anything changed, and it would present you with a new 3 month planning. We didn't get any further than (working!) prototype with 30 beta testers.

If you're interested, here's an extremely short write-up of what happened: http://timescapers.com/2016/02/07/timescapers-and-timerank-r...
Focus on minimizing the friction to doing the most common tasks.

Ex. by far the most common thing I'm doing when going to a repo is looking up a file and doing something with it. So why isn't a file list the first thing which comes up when I open a repo?

Also, generally work on visual hierarchy more. GitHub does a great job of this and it makes the UI both efficient and pleasant. For example, you show the latest commit on a repo's homepage but it is very poorly differentiated from the content around it. This makes scanning the page much harder.
This is great! Current jazz artists are going to love this.
> The public good shouldn't be left in the hands of those who are only willing to contribute if doing so can increase their wealth.

Would you be willing to consistently apply this across everyone in the population, not only the wealthy?

The use of "as much as 80%" does suggest bias although it sounds little better and a bit awkward to use the more generous wording, "as little as 50%".
This is actually a really good idea. It fits to the concept of progressive enhancement and isn't invasive or forced.
I have rationalized it with the “wealth before health” attitude that seems to be prevalent in the startup world (even though wealth is not my primary motivator, you get the idea). “I just need to make it through this year, and then I can exercise” and “exercise will kill my productivity” are two lies I have been telling myself for the past several years. I have taken a similar attitude with my diet, which is far from great.

Wow. That describes my attitude for the last year or so to a "T". Pushing off "getting healthy" for the "more successful" me that lies ahead. No more of that. I definitely needed to read this article tonight - time to get back to a regular routine and try to live a more maintainable lifestyle!
I think being a core contributor to major pieces of software does imply you are a good programmer rather than a novice, whether you know of them or use that software or not. "Pure verbosity" - Really? You want to disparage his contributions? Take it easy, man.

He doesn't "dismiss the use of a runtime debugger", he says "I don’t say this to disparage people that use a Real Debugger. I think Real Debuggers are great, I’ve just never taken the time to learn one well."
I wonder about that too. I had 2/10, way worse than chance level.
Its a pretend-game anyway and i'm well aware of it.

Money justifies itself because it allows trade and therefore specialization of individuals. Its required for the technological progress we already done.

Same goes with Companies, Math, or most Science things.

Race is used by people who want to discriminate (independent of direction) or seek justification by victim-hood (and everything derived). Both are harmful behaviors. I will not support that.

At least they are using the 'hi-res' version of the MaxMind product!!! There is the 'free' version that does GeoIP to country level only, so you don't even get the local cable-head-end/ISP/TelCo box level resolution (which is what the 'paid for' version of MaxMind gives you. (Rather than centre of postcode/zip which it never resolves to in my experience).

That is something we're working on at the moment. It is read-only from the web servers' perspective, but it's definitely not without its problems.
I personally recommend Snippets from Social+Capital (s23p). I like their pick of articles - very logical and insightful. Delivered once a week, it captures an essence of what goes on in the tech and startup world while casting aside all the hype and hoopla that most other blogs end up pushing.

Non-tech: Brain Pickings FTW!
Since we're all sharing debugging lessons I thought I'd include one for .NET. In System.Runtime.CompilerServices, there are attributes that can be very useful for a logging interface: CallerMemberNameAttribute, CallerLineNumberAttribute, and CallerFilePathAttribute. These add compile-time info to method calls like so:

void Error(string message,
[CallerMemberName] string callingMethod = null,
[CallerFilePath] string filePath = null,
[CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0);

You then simply call `Error("something wrong with the frobnicator")` and the source line you need to come back to is already there. The only caveat is that this won't work in conjunction with variadic formatting for the message (`params object[]` arguments can't coexist with default arguments). `string.Format` feels like a small price to pay.
Call me an MCP if you want but this ain't something that gets me fired up. I am more interested in awesome products regardless of the gender of the founder or software developer.
Yes! Although I am obviously biased.

The ancient Pompeii is much closer to Vesuvius than it is easy to gather from photos...
The eruption took time, when the pyroclastic flow finally came down and hit the city, the city got buried quite quickly.
However, before the pyroclastic flow came down, many people had plenty of time to escape, and many others died because of respiratory problems, or hit by debris.

Key thing to bear in mind is that, back then, very few people would have had an idea of what was happening and how dangerous it was, even less so about the fact that there was an actual need to escape and what was a safe distance...

I can't tell you how much I loved these books growing up. I also own the collections of their puzzle books and wish they'd reprint their ghost puzzle collections.
It's hard to have a meritocracy when a limited set of people make decisions for (or otherwise own) the company and are beholden to VC money.

The flat structure is better for creating new products than squeezing money out of what exists.

If people want this type of company, they have to build the company and product around those principles.
I got the Computers and Coding flap book for my 6 year old this Christmas, and got second-hand copies of many of the original books for myself. It's striking how closely the new publication's content matches that of the older books, despite the changes in the industry.

There are several other books from the Usborne 80's catalogue not shown on that page but worth having: Understanding the Micro, Usborne Guide to Computers, How to Make Computer Controlled Robots & How to Make Computer Model Controllers

Also a gem of a blog is Joel Spolsky's joelonsoftware.com. He doesn't post much now but read the archives. You won't regret it.
Just "an order of magnitude"? I suspect you are off by an order of magnitude. If you count each deployed instance of each product using it, it's probably the most popular by close to 10 orders of magnitude.

Edit: phones are just the start. Numerous embedded products use it - the kind that ship in such large quantities that a couple pennies per device become significant sums of money. And even in the phone case, every app is using a separate database.
That must be LACK.

Demand doesn't suddenly make new talent appear within a couple months/1-3 years for non-trivial fields. Sure, longer term it might lead to more people appearing on the market. But till then companies need people to fill the gaps - in some areas the alternatives are giving up on projects (great, not what you wanted) or hiring from competing companies till one side gives up.

To me it seems fairly absurd to assume that there's enough american workers in every field to fill every post, even with really "generous" salaries. Even if you only take the "worthwhile" projects into account.

Obviously that does not apply for fields where you can essentially train a mid-level university graduate up to par within a couple months.
A lot of people, myself included, wait for "trigger" circumstances. In fact, I've already done this three times in my life - usually spawned by moving to a new location and having a new job (in one case, it was leaving high school and entering college).

My favourite pattern for this use-case is to write script A that generates script B; instead of A invoking 'rm' directly, it runs 'echo rm', or even 'echo #rm'.

Then I open up script B in an editor and review the planned changes. Once I like what I see (potentially after a few edits) I run 'bash B'.

Suggestion: Add a way to distinguish between parameters sent to maybe and parameters sent to the program. You don't accept any parameters at the moment, but you may want to in the future, and when you start wanting to do that, you may not want to break any existing usages by changing behavior. For that reason I think it would be good to introduce disambiguation now.

No it doesn't.

I think most people would be surprised to find the package's contained module in the root of the repository because it's not one-to-one with what will end up being "installed".

Also, a package can install multiple modules.
It's form over content. I don't see the point of it. Here's what you're gaining:

- layout which some people prefer

What you sacrifice:

- standard layout expected by pretty much all the tools

- `setup.py develop` (setup installs a copy of the files)

- proper change notification (so webapp development can't auto-refresh anymore)

- standard configuration files which services depend on (travis, gitignore, license, contributing, appveyor, coverage)

- (haven't checked, so "likely") pbr compatibility

Also, this takes a completely dev/code-centric approach - the app is "code and some ugliness". But actually the app is the code, the tests, configuration, packaging, documentation, service integration, and a few others. All are important.

9/10. I could tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a lot of computer generated imagery in my time.
Your argument, the way I see it: "People say lies about race[0]. So let's not talk about race anymore". This is, appallingly, the current state of the art of racial discussions in the west.

Try to apply that logic to any other subject however, and the insanity will reveal itself.

"People say lies about used cars. So let's not talk about used cars anymore"

"People say lies about the mistakes of The One Party. So let's not talk about the mistakes of The One Party anymore"

There is no excuse for suppressing legitimate, non-racist speech on racial issues. Also, that kind of speech exists, and if you haven't heard it, that's because decent people around you are scared shitless of being labelled a racist for bringing up race, however innocuously. And actual racists don't care. Which exactly the scenario that your argument is designed to enable.

[0] every racist statement is by definition a lie. That's very important.
