I don't like installing packages outside of the apt/aptitude system. Creating a custom .deb requires a repo to store our fork of the code (or the code + our configuration parameters) plus a jenkins or similar job to build it, plus a place to store the build artifacts to make available to our fleet of boxes, which also need to be configured to pull images from said repository. There are many potential points of failure now. Rarely do I have package failures with my current infrastructure.

I'd rather trust the package/security team of my favorite distribution to do this for me.

When you live in the modern world of cattle not pets you optimize for things like this.

That being said our current nginx solution lives in a Docker container on top of Kubernetes so it would be fairly trivial at this stage to build our own nginx and bake it in... but I have to pick my battles.
This is not common at all, sure some may do a little bit of travel. But the fact that we're all in debt to our eyeballs in school loans, means we are generally jumping into jobs as soon as we can. I was working full time before I even graduated, being hired out of my co-op/internship from RIT.

It's certainly NOT common for parents to dump 10-20K on you, and say go have travel and have fun. That's laughable.

It gives you one image per configuration, instead of one build machine, or one stored VM. It makes it easier for a single machine to iterate over dozens or hundreds of build environments with a minimum of overhead.

For example, one Ubuntu machine with Docker can create build environments for every Linux based distro (and version thereof) that exists, and iterate through all of them when it comes time to build. The setup is not trivial, though it is easier than creating a similar environment with VMs or physical machines.

In Vancouver, it is pretty common. Housing prices here are pretty high, so it is hard for most to afford a place to live by yourself unless you make other compromises (eg long commute, living in the ghetto, taking on a risky amount of rent relative to your income, etc).

Edit: When searching for a two bedroom apartment, I recall finding a good portion of the ads already had a second person living there who were looking to share.
I did not read anything you said as rude, either. Sometimes I find that people can't tell the difference between saying "you are wrong" and "you are stupid" when it's about something they care about :(
It sort of is nitpicking.

We haven't observed objects with redshifts that indicate distances larger than 13.some Gly away.

Yes, the physical objects are farther, but the point is moot. Those objects aren't the same as what we see today. They're totally different. We don't know what they look like today. Even low-mass stars have lived and died.

In summary, there is no way for us to see those 46.5 Gly objects other than wait 50 Gy (with our given technology)

I think it's just sloppy and unintentional, especially for a timed test. I find things like this common in my kids' Math homework. (I don't blame common core, I blame bad text book writers.)

I also had to run the interpretation of 209 "salads and an unknown number of drinks" through my head as I parsed it.

I do see the value in learning how to remove ambiguity when trying to solve a problem, but I'm not convinced that is what they are intentionally testing.

What court ruling are you referring to that says that POTUS can unilaterally impose fees of this kind without the consent of congress?
I've become more and more convinced over the years that "higher education" is much more about signalling and not-so-much about learning, although of course part of the signal is showing your ability to learn on demand and just "show-up" and do what you are told.

Of course, networking has always been a big part of the benefit being accepted to an elite university, so while I accept the learning part of it will be easily disrupted, I am not really convinced (yet) that the signalling and the networking can be replaced so easily.

Thanks, I still believe the inclusion of yet another analytics tool is madness, but the point about publishers is new to me.
The web pages are open public access in machine-retrievable format though. Google purposely doesn't index content that supplies a robots file or header requesting it not to be indexed, and certainly doesn't borrow human accounts to allow Googlebot to also index registered-members-only online content.

I'd argue that Google ought to have a similarly strong presumption that work distributed only in a non robot-parseable format and only for a fee isn't intended to be indexed in a publicly accessible database, unless the copyright owner expressly indicates otherwise. Especially if they haven't even paid the copyright holder the regular fee to read the work
Happenstance: meet a random Human Being every month by email
If I had attended Caltech remotely, I wouldn't have lasted a semester. I had a lot of generous help from others, mostly fellow students, and sometimes a professor.

Besides, being around a pack of intelligent, highly motivated people (what their admissions select for) 24/7 was incredibly fun. I mean, you're around people who build CPUs out of 7400 ttl chips, people who build stereo equipment from scratch just because it's fun, people who build a working railroad running through the dorms, and on and on. If you want to see what it was like, see the movie "Real Genius", which was based on events at Caltech. The movie exaggerates, but not as much as you might think :-)

Edit: I also have to admit that the embarrassment of failing was a motivator that wouldn't exist if I attended remotely, along with the shared camaraderie of working on and succeeding at something hard.
What alternatives do you suggest, besides running your own mail server? I'm in the invite list for Protonmail and have also used the infamous cock.li for informal stuff, but I was looking for something a bit more established, that I can count on long term stability. It's bad enough to switch email addresses once, to be switching every time a service goes kaput is unacceptable.
Ahh, I had assumed you had chosen that length because 2*pi is close to 6, which easily divides into 60 feet. But this is way cooler. Very neat!

There are plenty of ways the Universe could be steady-state and still not have a white-hot sky. Suppose you have metric expansion as you do now, but new matter magically appears as a sparse, uniform cloud of particles throughout space to feed the creation of new stars and maintain the energy density we see today. Metric expansion guarantees that light is redshifted in proportion to distance, so the sky remains dark, even though the Universe is infinitely old and stable.

This model is wrong, obviously, but the reason has nothing to do with Olber's paradox.

We are a enterprise chat company and are planning to pivot completely to different app . Is it possible to submit the same app as an update to our existing chat app ? the new app will not be having any chat features .

Time of compilation is one issue. If you just wanted to add a module you would have to recompile everything. Likewise if you want to remove a module.

Although one advantage of requiring compilation is the user is probably more likely to use the latest version.

"How well do you understand an internal combustion engine?"

He is not hiring drivers; he is hiring mechanics and manufacturing engineers. And yes, they both absolutely need to know how an IC engine works.

Yes, tools are doing their job, yes they will only keep getting better and I want them to keep getting better. But that is no excuse to not know how they work, and what are the tradeoffs of using one over the other. e.g. There are plenty of ORMs for PHP. Why would you use one over the other? If one ORM generates more efficient queries at the cost of some programming discomfort, I'd much rather have you choose that.

By definition, tools solve generic use-cases. i.e. you can get away with tools as long as you're solving simplistic generic problems that have been solved before. But the moment you transcend that boundary and need to do anything custom, especially at scale, you will totally need to know how things work under the hood. You may still end up modifying an existing tool, but you'll only do a good job at it when you understand the insides.

Also, the urge to look under the hood is simply a proxy to curiosity. That is exactly what starts to separate better engineers from mediocre ones.

AWS integration sounds like a vendor lock-in to me.

Other than that, what value does it offer on top of Cry Engine that it uses?
Yes, we are all aware of that. Nobody is saying that Olbers's paradox is unsolved; we are saying that your comment doesn't make sense. Olbers's paradox assumes from the outset that the universe is infinite. You cannot solve the paradox by invoking the inverse-square law.
That's kind of the point. They weren't but now are, and now there's even less of an excuse not to have a cert.
This is unheard of among my friends (mostly engineering) and may just as well have been Hollywood myth.
Web conversations like this are terrible. Clicks are a very small part of what advertisers are buying, even if that's how it's measured. Just like sometimes when you're at a cafe you buy a cup of coffee, but actually what you want is the nice space to work and an internet connection for a couple hours.

(Some) advertisers are actually smart. They do extensive, scientific research around attribution and effectiveness. Even if you don't click on ads, you're influenced by them (yes, you, too). They can track that, and it's a large part of what they're paying for. Just like TV ads.
Part of me wants to argue that this is anecdotal, though I've seen something somewhat similar in my experience. I will say this, building something you want yourself gives you a particular insight into the need that is very difficult to get when finding out what other people want.

Building personas of users is designed to help this, but you really have to be able to embody the persona.

Plus, isn't it just more fun building stuff you yourself want?

I (sort of) adopted this philosophy in December of last year. Instead of toiling away on a single project for months on end, attempting to perfect every last inch of it. I've decided that I'm going to release a project every month, for a year. Get all my ideas out there, and just see what happens. I've gained way more experience switching gears between projects, than I would have sitting, staring at the same code day in and day out. The third project launched yesterday, and starting the fourth this weekend!
The space is expanding and its expansion rate is accelerating. Dark energy is not pushing objects apart, it is causing the acceleration of expansion of space.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/373840/ten-dumbest-com....

There is multiple articles from various view points on the fact that education in the US is declining.

"American students are continuously proving to know less in subjects like history." "A 2010 study by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) showed the U.S. history testing scores are "stagnant," with only 9 percent of fourth graders correctly identifying a photograph of Abraham Lincoln and stating two reasons for his importance."(Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/11/public-education-10...)

"The United States invests more in K-12 public education than many other developed countries, yet U.S. students remain poorly prepared to compete with global peers."(Source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesmarshallcrotty/2012/03/26/7...)

"There’s a delightful and true saying, often attributed to Joseph Sobran, that in a hundred years, we’ve gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to teaching remedial English in college." (Source: http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/education-2/middle-school...)

Getting rid of that would FINALLY allow me to double-click on the filename (which is configured to select the part between the spaces and copy it to the clipboard) and paste it instantly for the next command... or to be able to do git diff > foo.patch and on another system do patch < foo.patch without having to remember the correct -p value.
> Google is taking books and digitising them. That within its own right isn't illegal. But Google then takes the digitised books and utilises that content for profit (every time you click buy, Google gets a cut of the sale) and what's more the court has withheld the author's ability to decide how they want their books to be advertised/presented.

How different is this than if I make a website, review their book, and provide an Amazon affiliate link?

<<The reason why most communiques are generic is because there's very little upside to being abrupt publicly.>>

You are quite wrong, if anything, employees appreciate openness and decisiveness, vs. sweeping changes under the rug with generic language. There is actually a ton of upside to creating honest communication, but it's much harder than hiding behind empty phrases, which then builds a culture of speculation (of what "really happened"), politics, and distrust.

I have no idea what really happened behind the scenes and why exactly the new CEO used this language, but I can assure you that any email from David Sacks will not be clumsy, but very deliberate and written to achieve a specific purpose. (There is some speculation on earlier threads around of why it might have been written this way).
I think this paper has a very misleading title, as the result it presents is not as remarkable as to be actually proof of what is known as Maxwell's equations (they were formulated by Heaviside btw.) Basically what the paper does is that it defines operators for ρ, j, E based on the hindsight knowledge of Maxwell's equations and non-relativistic equation of motion for a particle; then it shows that it is possible to have both sets as Heisenberg equations. That's definitely not something a physicist would call deriving Maxwell's equations. Most of the thing claimed to be derived in the title is actually defined/assumed, the result is merely that the Heisenberg formalism, the commutation relations and non-relativistic equation of motion do not seem incompatible. The speed of light in the result is there purely because Dyson knows the result he needs to get.

Genetics is part of merit in sports. Merit is how well you can perform. Genetics influences that.

As for "where you come from": Can you supply some evidence for that assertion? I'll give you argument (not evidence, I admit) that your claim is false. If it were true, then someone could create a high-performing team simply by selecting people who came from the places that other teams ignore. (Or are you claiming that, for example, there aren't many hockey players coming from Hawaii, even though one would expect that the population would include some with the genetics and talent to be excellent? Well, raw talent means little. Merit means talent and preparation and discipline and coaching and genetics and drive and mental toughness and probably a few things I've forgotten. If you're not going to chase that sport because it's not culturally a thing where you are, then you aren't going to be very good at that sport.)
Yeah, that would be true if I hadn't already heard of it I guess. I've also seen a lot of people talking about baader-meinhof, so I suspect it might just be that pop psychology is the tech bro humblebrag du joir this week.
> they should choose another medium

Which kind of medium do you have in mind? If you want a federated communication medium in wide use that doesn't require you to use proprietary software or a centralized server, there isn't much choice. This is why I'd say it's a worthwhile endeavor to make it possible to communicate securely and privately with email.

Not really. If you look to the future, I'd recommend Rust for making game engines. They by nature should be latency sensitive, and any kind of non deterministic behavior caused by garbage collector is really unacceptable.
