I'm in the US, as were my parents, and theirs. Perhaps we're also talking about two different things: me about work; you about education.

To my recollection, it's always been the case that the first few years of employment after education come with harshness due to lack of experience. Maybe you had to live with parents for a couple of years. Maybe you had to use a friend's couch for awhile. Maybe you had to work a menial job for a bit. Just because one has graduated with a degree doesn't automatically entitle them to the nice apartment overlooking the beach and a sip of a expensive bourbon every night.

I suppose in my corner of society, things are indeed better with each generation. (I'm nearly certain we've never had a safety net quite like you describe in the UK in the 60s and 70s.) It's not that "it has to be tough" it's just that "it's never going to be easy." And without some perspective, "easy" is not so objective.
Hey!

I'm not sure if I fully understand your query, so let me know if I'm off the mark:

The answer is iTerm is incredibly configurable! iTerm can run on it's own 'fullscreen' window (Lion Style, you know, like say, full screen chrome) OR it can use a transparent fullscreen that basically just fills the current screen you are in, not creating a new 'desktop/space' (the gif on my blog post shows this).

APART from that you can also configure iTerm to show up on all desktops - i.e. I'll have documentation on desktop 1 and the actual site on desktop 2 and I can bring up the same terminal window with `alt space`.

So I do think that the answer to your question is YES!

That's probably the awesome thing about iTerm. There's no "super big killer feature" but it just provides enough options that whatever workflow you have/want, it most likely can support it.

And nice to meet a fellow vimmer! Thanks for the appreciating the CSS ribbons too :)
Back when you did it, was the pay enough to support you in the off-season or did you have a second off-season job?

Rails biggest weakness is Ruby?!?! The only reason Rails came about (so says DHH) is because of Ruby and its expressiveness as a dynamic language.

Granted, we're in Swift mode here and it's static typing, protocols, generics, and closures all the way. I'm fine with this (I write in Swift everyday) but Ruby is a great language as well - I love them both.

I think there's a place for both static and dynamic typed languages and I'm not going to throw away Ruby just because Swift is more "correct" with typing.

Having worked on my own Swift web framework for the past few months, and Rails for years, we're not even close to approaching Rails feature set. Rails has been in active development for over a decade and it's going to take a while for a Swift framework to make some inroads.

Pinyin is already a romanization that is very useful for encouraging non-native speakers. Pinyin use was also heavily pushed by the CCP, but has never been used as an option for replacing characters. Pinyin is even the preeminent method of facilitating computer input, and yet there seems to be no temptation even among the laziest internet users to drop the extra step of selecting a logographic symbol. Frankly, there is no option in existence for replacing Chinese characters.

I admit that languages evolve, and if there is ever an actual contender to make writing in Chinese significantly easier to use and learn, then a separate conversation should be had (I think this is true of all languages and scripts). However, there are a few reasons this probably won't ever happen.

Firstly, any phonetic system currently used for Chinese immediately loses the semantic complexity behind characters that not only allows the reader to guess its meaning based on the context and the components within the character, but the potential for deeper poetic meaning behind the use of certain characters and the way they look.

Secondly, all Chinese dialects can share a writing system specifically because of its non-phonetic nature. Were pinyin to suddenly displace characters, it would be useless for millions of people who don't know Mandarin.

Finally, the forced implementation of simplified characters has fractured the Chinese speaking world. Simplified versus traditional characters are not just a statement on what's more useful in a pragmatic sense but a political and cultural statement on what it means to be Chinese.

If that debate is so heated when all that has changed is the way characters look, imagine the implications of abandoning the 5000 year old system completely. Combine that with recent Chinese history -- the Opium War, embarrassment by the hands of foreigners, European and American hegemonism -- and the notion of changing a fundamental part of Chinese identity in order to cater to foreigners seems absurd.
Bacteria are indeed grouped into species. The coli of Escherichia coli is an identifier for the species. However, species in general is a pretty nebulous term.

One definition of species is the maximal set of individuals that are pairwise sexually capable of producing viable offspring (which is obviously non-sensical when we're talking of organisms which reproduce asexually.) Other methods of defining species rely on physical or genetic similarity, which are troublesome due to parallel & convergent evolution (where two phylogenically distinct populations arrive at the same morphology/phenotype) and horizontal gene transfer (transfering genetic information between individuals without directly producing offspring---fairly common in prokaryotes). So it can get a little bit hazy, but taxonomists carry on nonetheless as best they can.

Sounds like a commandeered/re-jigged version of a quote attributed to Râshid bin Sa`îd Âl Makṫûm[1]:

"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel."

So it would appear that amongst their other concerns, the Saudis also need to start producing their own fatalistic proverbs, rather than importing them from Dubai.

I still don't get why this game is so maligned. It was one of my favorite 2600 games! The only game I liked better was pitfall.
Chaitin published his stuff in the early 80s. Presumably the implementation is a bit older. But the idea of doing register allocation via graph coloring goes back to the late 60s and the idea of using graph coloring to minimize storage requirements generally goes back to around '63.

The interprocedural problem is mostly engineering - how to manage libraries, make files, etc., in a way that programmer will use it.

Ignoring the fact that it's ugly as sin and they bundle hundreds of useless apps which are cannot be removed which can cause weird breakages when disabled, the problem is that despite the fact that on paper their hardware should crush every other phone on the market they somehow manage to make the phones UI slower than a budget phone running stock (or near stock) Android.

To be fair, that hardware shines when Android fades away and you want to play graphically intensive phone games but it's terrible for everything else.
> (At least this article provides a good explanation of advantages to be had from being aggressively pedantic about UB. Many by way of evidence just wave their hands and claim people are stupid.)

This. While it doesn't show how much real programs benefit from these UB assumptions (or how many new security bugs are introduced...), at least it has some explanations. Still, you have to ask yourself whether the compiler is a tool to help you do your work, or a perverse, pedantic, and frustrating adversary. The ultimate "UB optimizer" would do its best to find tiny corners of undefined behavior in your program, then replace the whole thing with "exit(0)".

Visit a jungle, or an African savannah, or go for a swim in shark-infested waters. Go make friends with some animals. When you meet a hungry predator, or a swarm of parasites, you will be attacked and eaten.

What will you say? Survival of the fittest? Or immoral animal unnecessarily eating an innocent human being for its pleasure?

If you really believe that humans are just another animal, then we have as much right to eat them as they have to eat us--and they do.
Does your friend spend a lot of time alone? As someone who struggles with the same thing, I find that being alone a lot of the time makes me reflect on the past a lot and old wounds tend to fester.

Some people are thinkers in that way, and while it can have its upsides, it certainly has downsides. I think spending more time laughing with others, relating to them and having fun is better than thinking all the time. But personally I'm in the process of finding people I can relate to better.

They might charge as much as they do because they're making their special-sauce material in a really non-cost-effective small-batch way. If that's true, then if they just released their material process patent into the public domain, probably the windows would still cost $35k for a while, and then gradually decline, step-wise, as competitors created bigger and better processes to do the same thing.

I would agree if any of those applies but I almost never post anything. I post maybe a dozen times in a year on my FB, and everyone on my friends list should know who I am rather than report me (my feed shouldn't be public).

That said, whoever tried to reset my password didn't succeed as far as I know. My name is quite common so I doubt it comes off as a fake name. My account is old, so I can't imagine the reason being flagged for misrepresentation or impersonation, especially since I don't even proactively post stuff.

I use FB mainly to connect to chat on messenger, follow up on my news feed, and connect to some accounts that uses FB login. Nothing in recent memory other than adding my phone for two step verification could have possibly trigger this but could be something I am over looking.

At this point I just want to know how long this is going to continue. Thanks for the heads up though.

There is no "central authority" for the language. When a word is created, it spreads by word of mouth. The pronunciation is sometimes quite volatile before it becomes generally agreed upon (take GIF as a recent and annoyingly prominent example). The general thing to look around for on the web is "neologism".

Oh, please. This rationale just doesn't make sense: The San Bernardino litigation isn't about trying to set a precedent or send any kind of message. It is about the victims and justice. Fourteen people were slaughtered and many more had their lives and bodies ruined.

We already know who did it: Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. They're already dead. By some accounting, justice has already been served. By other accounting, I suppose that nobody was found guilty by a jury of peers and punished, but that happens sometimes. So "justice" really doesn't enter into it at this point.

Yeah, this is because there's a sealing tape that's supposed to go to the frame after opening.

As a C++ dev for 10+ years, I wanted to hate this article and say it was all wrong but a lot of what makes me efficient with C++ now is avoiding the problems that the article publicizes.

> A reduction in the number of participating routers would lower latency (yay for LoL players), but it would also lower the number of customers they could support.

This is because ISPs oversell their networks. That's great and it makes sense... as long as they can get away with it. But when services like online gaming and netflix gain popularity, the ISP business model is insufficient for delivering quality connections.

Also, nice "pipe dream" pun in the second paragraph. ;)
Right, which is why they can go ahead and trip it when you root, but there should be a way to completely factory reset, including resetting Knox. That said, we manage to make credit card payments online via rooted devices all the time, so I'm not sure the idea holds water that payments via a rooted device are completely impossible. (Still, I can certainly see that it might not be worth their time. The factory reset shouldn't be very difficult though.)

Because It'll let those same companies better understand you and thus better target you with advertisements for more products (or sell the data to others who want to sell to you).

Don't think for a second that that smart fridge that knows when you're running low on milk knows just so that it can alert you and be done with it. Most people will buy the thing and agree to an unreadable set of terms that allow them to use your data for advertising purposes without much thought. Then the fridge notices that you're low on milk and tells you "Hey, you're low on milk! Lucky for you, Target's got your favorite brand for 10% off with this coupon." You pay Target and Target pays FridgeCo.

They're motivated to sell this stuff whether or not you want it because it lets them build revenue streams in markets that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. The buyers of the information are motivated to pay for it because it means that they can learn far more about the individuals, not just the groups of individuals, who buy their products.

> quite nice in the sense that it helps learn other languages

It's fun like that; I've studied a trivial amount of Dutch and German and kept running into words where the root was present in English in some really weird way. For instance, one of the first signs I saw at AMS was 'uitgang' (exit) which is clearly the same root as 'gangplank' and 'gangway' and which shows up in some really old folk songs (Why dois your brand sae drap wi bluid, and why sae sad gang ye, O?). Or "rustig", which is just "quiet", but has a certain specific rough-hewn country-living feel to it when you use it as the English word "rustic".

They also seem to use the old-fashioned form of the helper-verb "will" ("wil") to mean want/desire (as contrasted with "shall", which has been replaced in modern English, at least in America.)

And, of course, the word for boy-child is "jongen" - pronounced "young'n", like you're from Appalachia or something. (Actually, I think there are a lot of things like that. Don't put down the people with the 'uneducated' accents, they have a perfectly legitimate linguistic history.)

Even if the ad is served by the service host, ad blockers can leverage machine learning or similar techniques to distinguish ads from content. I think the next step is that ads merge with content: so-called "native ads," submarine ads, etc. that are the content.
