A great point, but saving from Slack isn't the most straightforward. It's not as brainless as "Select text & hit 'Save to Evernote'" which I do in my web browsers. I've resorted to screenshots a few times, to keep the richness of the messages.

> If I don't write it down, I'll likely forget it, so I better write it somewhere (not in Slack) quickly.

Where do you write it?
> How would you so them from emailing your employer?

My employer would show me the email, asked WTF and swiftly proceeded with legal action if applicable. My employer is there to make my life easier, and the fact that they do it in their best interest - the less time I spend on being stressed out, the more time and value I can contribute - makes me comfortable when asking for help.

But there may be a somewhat unusual level of trust between my employer and myself, maybe I'm just lucky to work at such a company.

> I do not know how to properly motivate the Laplace transform

I feel like this is impossible without going to the complex plane. Like the author said, taking the inverse Laplace transform is no joke.

I feel like I never properly understood the Laplace transform until I learned about Landau damping. This is when waves exist, but are damped in a collisionless plasma. This damping is not disspiation and the energy does not get converted into heat. The usual way of presenting this is to show that if one Fourier transforms in time, you get the wrong answer. The fact that the system begins at a certain state, and is thus an initial value problem, needs to be respected.

For some, yes.

The others are even worse. I tried using OMake and apart from having some neat features like watching files and automatically recompiling it was an incredible pain of setting it up - mainly due to the strange programming language used in its build files. Also, it has seen 0 updates in the last years.

It already starts with the compiler, calling them manually is quite a pain, especially if you want include any kind of library, which is why ocamlfind is such a huge win.
a few years? who's to say it's not already happening?
It falls under personal data about someone. Many (but not all) EU countries consider IP addresses to be personal information, and hence "Store it forever for no real reason" is illegal. You need to have a legitimate, legal, reason to store PI, you need the person's unambiguos freely given consent, etc.

There is currently a court case as to whether dynamic IP addresses from ISPs counts as personal information. But static IP address probably count. And all the other information (user X logged in at time Y and send message to other user Z) would be PI too.
They might not need it for OPSEC, but they do have a stock price to worry about. Financial analysts are making increasingly frequent statements that Apple needs a new market to be the game-changer in if they are to sustain their growth, and Cook has said that anything car-related and groundbreaking will, if it exists, be relatively far into the future. Thus the need to stoke the rumor mill.
I feel for this person. I recently had a stalker over the summer, a family friend whom I met at my sister's wedding. He had some sort of break down, declared me to be his lover, received my email via unwitting family members. Luckily someone had raised the alarm. Said stalked flew out of state fully expecting to find me and be with me. It did not happen, but I certainly was preparing for an altercation and was traumatized by every unexpected knock or ring at the door.
> My parents, Ayn Rand and God

That's the proper way to write it. If you want the other meaning, it's "My parents - Ayn Rand and God". You English people really should learn proper punctuation - most of the world has been using these things called dashes, colons, etc. for quite a while now. They help immensely to disambiguate.
Agreed on not tested and my philosophy with legal grey areas is to avoid being part of the test case... However, these specific images come with their own EULA that says that you can not apply a different license to them (I checked because I would have also liked to have done so if it were allowed).

Just use this as they suggest for testing. Keep your data elsewhere and roll back/re-install every few months.
I used to think so, but in industries where supply is abundant, publishers provide not only "post-production", but distribution and more importantly marketing and branding - social proof. The biggest benefit may be setting oneself apart from the fray.

I use both with git, nothing wrong with that. A GUI client for committing which allows me to better look at diffs and makes selecting files for staging easier, not having to do `git status` all the time; and the command line for everything else - pulls, merges, rebases, cherry picking etc etc.
HipChat definitely is Atlassian's dropped ball,... and after they saw Slack's success, they leant down to pick it up ... and accidentally kicked it away again. It's surprising just how badly they've handled that project.

A pity, because I liked Hipchat's ability to show more than three comments at once, sane display of notifications, and non-rapacious pricing schedule.

Exactly. I have a Bosch drill and I recently had a carpenter trying to convince me that I should have spent three times as much on a Makita. He was basically trying to show me that the cheaper drill was a false economy. Its hilarious in software how much time we waste dealing with poor tools. Some free tools are excellent but in many cases spending some money will save you so much time and effort, enabling you to make more money and giving some of that to the developers. Wins all round.
Serious answer: I think there is a huge oversupply of authors at the moment. The world would probably be better off if half of all authors (selected at random) were to quit and go find something more productive/lucrative to do.

dotCloud provided infrastructure (compute nodes with memory/cpu limits), which they wanted to quickly distance from. Docker Cloud is BYOI (bring your own infrastructure) such as Digital Ocean, AWS, Azure, Softlayer. It's basically Tutum out of beta, similar to CoreOS tectonic but less enterprise targetted (pricing upfront, freemium, can use $5/mo DO droplets). It's a managed control panel essentially. CPAS - Control panel as a service?

I liked Tutum (and thus Docker Cloud) as a rapid path to get up and running, but the higher level concepts of Kubernetes appeal more to me for real worl projects.. (note: Kubernetes uses docker and docker images)

International experience: Erasmus or after graduate?
Hi guys, actually I am at the first year of the Master degree in Computer Science in Italy. After the university, I would like to work outside my country. Therefore I think I will need a good English to be desirable in the jobs market. At present, I study english books, the course holds in english, therefore I have an acceptable level of reading and listening but, as you probably noticed, I haven't got a good speaking and writing. So, the big question in my mind is this: should I go on Erasmus for 6/9 months in UK or northern Europe country? Or should I stay in Italy, graduate, take a good certification and then look for a job from Italy? My fears are two:
I will go in a foreign country but I won't learn a proper english and I'll learn bad habits that will be hard to unlearn next.
Or
I'll stay in Italy, I'll learn a "academic" english (and I'll gain a certification) but I will not have opportunities to find a job from Italy because I will not have connections in a foreign country.

Because Brazil is a huge country with a far less educated society as the Portuguese, with a lot of conservatives (evangelicals pastors who only scam are just an example of what 10~20% of our Deputies Chamber looks like) politicians who push their agendas that drugs are devil's things and every drug addict should be in jail.

And I say that as a Brazilian, you're comparing an European country with 10 million people (that's less than what my hometown of São Paulo has, now sitting at 11.8 million as of 2014 census) to a country of 200+ million of mostly uneducated people.

Sorry to tell you but you don't change a whole society way of thinking in less than a generation, much less when there's no politicians' desire for that.

Yeah, anyway it should be decriminalized (as it's for users right now) or legalized, but if you want to be real about it, come up with a plan, because realistically speaking there's no way to do it in the next 10~15 years.

surname.pdf is almost certainly a half-hearted (because that is all that is possible) way to fit into someone else's naming scheme. Otherwise, it would be cv.pdf, application.pdf, etc. because those are the file names that make sense on my computer.

What you don't see is the directory structure that that file lives in, which gives almost all the necessary information.

~/work/projects/reinventwheel/paper/manuscript.pdf should and does contain more information than "manuscript.pdf". If you're not renaming files when you get them and putting them in the correct context on your machine, I would say it is you that is doing it wrong.

The Laplace transform is somehow the continuous analog of a Taylor series expansion. You don't need complex analysis to motivate it. I sketched this for my students when TAing once upon a time, heavily inspired by this [1] nice MIT lecture.

I'm very surprised this isn't standard material. It makes the parallel between Laplace and Fourier transforms so much more intuitive, because you get Taylor series as a parallel to Fourier series.

This is really neat. It stands an easy-to-understand reference among many poorly-written fitness editorials and programs, many of which will require novices to lookup each exercise and assume that the new source is demonstrating them properly.

Your exercise selection and order also looked wise, beginning with compound movements and ending with more isolated movements.

Suggestions:
1)I didn't see wide grip pull-ups or chin-ups after clicking back and biceps. Why not?

2) Would be nice to see some form of cleans displayed.

“RigaDevDay (Day 1)” Conference (with live stream on youtube)
YouTube Live Stream is available on main page (Main Track Room 3): http://rigadevday.lv/#/index

Riga Dev Day is …

…a joint project by three developers user groups in Latvia.
Google Developer Group Riga, Java User Group Latvia, Oracle User Group Latvia: responsible for close to a hundred events for IT professionals (and counting!), as well as Java Day Riga 2011-2013 and Wildcard conferences.

…an event by software developers for software developers.
All of the organizers come straight from the trenches of the industry. We know first-hand the meaning of high-quality when it comes to putting together a developer conference.

…for professionals who value their time.
The agenda will be carefully organized to include over 40 of only the most relevant topics and technologies. Expect the delivery to be hands-on and immediately useful. Oh, and we have zero tolerance for sales pitches.

…for cross-functional developers and teams.
With tracks, covering JVM, Oracle, Mobile, DevOps, Web development, IoT, Databases and other case studies, you have a lot of space to share ideas across different backgrounds, with estimated 400+ participants.

This isn't deep learning (or a neural network at all). However, it is an extremely interesting approach.

Most of the previous "low data" deep learning approaches I've seen are broadly based around the approaches seen in "Zero-Shot Learning Through Cross-Modal Transfer"[1]

That's not really low data in the sense that it needs lots of data for initial training, but then is able to learn new things with very few examples.

It is true. The media passes a contrasting view of Germany where a large majority of the population is welcoming illegal immigrants and that this flux of people are largely of Syrian origin, which is not the case.

The situation in Cologne was not isolated to that specific day nor city, but the media portrayed the event as such. And only reported this event after the police department manifested their disapproval for the silencing attempts.

Not even public media such as Facebook are safe to share information. It is a hate crime in Germany to participate/comment on such events or display disapproval on any ethnic group.

I started "practicing" my interview skills a few years ago by... interviewing with companies. Interviewing is great for keeping your skills fresh, for learning new things, and for meeting cool people working on cool projects. It's a lot of fun! And it has the added benefit of giving you opportunities at new companies, if you end up finding a better position than the one you're in. Just keep it on the DL from management at your current company. For some reason, they don't like it when employees do that.
UK in particular has the worst bankins systems and services I've yet seen in my life. Many European countries, including these from eastern Europe, have a banking industry that's 100 years ahead of UK (on example is where you can't just walk in to a bank and have your thing done - you have to schedule a visit, often weeks in advance. And opening an account - real nightmare, good luck with that, if you're not born&breed brit). However, said that, I do understand that this is the result of UK banks being actually oldest ones and the usual inertia of 'working' things made the changes way slower than the rest of the world.
