Making a Simple Site Work Offline with ServiceWorker
I cycled through London (not the absolute centre) until a year ago and found the lorries fine, they're courteous and give you a lot of space (much more than the buses, who were worse than cars - cars would give you space, whereas buses seemed to pretend you didn't exist). Worst of all was people-carriers, especially around start/end of school hours.

I am glad he is most likely irrelevant until then.
Misunderstanting the Million Dollar Curve
Value for each delta will vary, but every extra step (the need to install a keylogger) or dependency requirement (that this be an interactive node and someone eventually logs in) will decrease your overall chance of penetration.

Almost no one has the resources to stand up to a targeted attack from even a mildly capable hacker. Therefore, the risk profile most administrators are working against are attacks of opportunity. In that race, as in the old joke about outrunning your friend instead of a lion, you need only be be some small amount more difficult to crack than the next potential victim.
The measuring of the stress level is a really smart idea. Do you know if this is a common practice to check actions?
What's the performance like on data sets that are too big for any single GPU's memory?

Can the GPU be used to accelerate shortest-path queries (e.g. dijkstra's algorithm) and if so, where can I read more about how that's achieved?
I always warn the ones I care about the same thing. The worst thing about fake/cheap electronics is not that they don't simply work, but that they might work 99 times out of 100, but the 100th time burn your house down due to failed/non existent surge protection or whatnot. It's easy and cheap to convert AC/DC to nominal rates, but protection from burning down is the hard and expensive part.
AI Logo idea generator
Why? You know which macro made the identifiers. You know what this macro consumed. In most practically important cases this is sufficient.

But, yes, you cannot do it with the Common Lisp approach, where macros operate on bare lists, not the scheme-like syntax objects. The problem here is that the lists had been stripped from the important location metadata. For this reason I had to depart from the simple list-based macros and using custom syntax extension with rich ASTs underneath. Still, on top of a Lisp.
definitely! i'm generalizing the underlying API to be more generic so that people can plug in custom visualizations like those you mentioned.
Another suggestion might be to not consume crack cocaine and instead seek help in the form of rehab. It is much better than sugar free gum.

I used to do some of this, and have a few books out.

It's an incredibly varied field, with a lot of different routes into it. The main markets are:

Print magazines

Online magazines/blogs/sites

Formal corporate technical writing

Mainstream tech publishing

DIY tech publishing

They all have different requirements, schedules, and working relationships.

The first two are probably the easiest to get into. If you have no experience, write a couple of polished sample pieces, and then start contacting editors with ideas that match the magazine/blog. Send in the samples when they ask for them. Mention the Python book too. If you can build a relationship and are good, you will get regular work.

Beware - good writing is harder than it looks. You have to be accurate, concise, and entertaining as well as informative. You may also have to be fast. Payment varies from not much at all to - exceptionally - high four figures at the very top end for high profile journalism.

Formal tech writing is a very specific skill and it's hard to get a job in it without some previous experience and/or a basic qualification. I've never done it so I don't know how to get into it.

Mainstream publishing - list the publishers (there aren't many in tech), find the commissioning editors, and email them with a couple of suggestions for books. Mention the Python book. If you get interest you will probably get an advance - high four to very low five figures is usual for niche tech, maybe double that for consumer tech. Don't accept a project that offers less, because it won't be worth the time. Formatting and editing for print can be torturously specific, so it's not so fun from that POV.

DIY - Leanpub is a popular platform. So is Createspace. Marketing will kill you, so you'll have to do a lot of it. Putting up a marketing site is not enough. Email lists are your friend.

Generally writing doesn't pay nearly as well as coding. I did it for a while after burning out on writing too many projects in assembler in the late 80s and early 90s. It was great for a period, and I had a couple of years where I could have lived off royalty payments. The market now is much broader but much shallower - many more opportunities, but mostly they don't pay nearly as well.

Like other people, I've sometimes used mainstream pub as a way to get paid to learn. You have to pay that back with a book, but it's not a bad deal compared to not getting paid to learn.
well, i forgot the most important part: be in a cluster of a jobs, opportunity and entrepreneurship. Where else is going to match all that? Taken together, NorCal leads the world in spades,

The unhelpful process of second guessing ourselves
I believe the Times does that for most acronyms as part of their style guide. For example, they also write FBI as F.B.I. The exception is acronyms that are pronounced as words instead of initials (like NASA or NATO).
Well at least the food is great.

Liked Krakow a lot, specially the subterranean bars. :)
I measured one query that does a sequential scan over millions of rows. In PG 9.4 this only uses one core. Current versions are adding a feature to parallelize this.
If I had run several queries in parallel, PG would have used all cores.

If I understand it correctly, Cursive is something different, they don't want to run an inferior Clojure image (unlike Slime, for example), but reproducing a lot of Clojure functionality with their massively complex static analysis tools. But I might get it wrong, all the information I have about Cursive came from one of its advocates who is very aggressively against the very idea of an inferior REPL for an IDE.

I've got some code published, but not that much in writing, planning to fix it some time later. See the stuff at my github account (username: combinatorylogic). Relevant things there are Packrat implementation, literate programming tools and an Emacs mode frontend.

Does having a bunch of vested, 10-year-window options on the books of a startup affect its valuation? Would a potential buyer look at that and think "That's a liability!"?
When I hear "forever," my ears perk up because... that's a long time.

Will my content be on Svbtle for, say, 200 years? I'm very curious about how you can honestly promise that.
Moments of Slacktivism
If you want to talk about bad scrolling experiences, then I give you Hacker News. Half the time when there's a submission about some deeply technical topic... before seeing any discussion of the actual topic, you have to scroll through 3 or 4 pages of debate about the ergonomics of the font kerning on the blog post or something.

This is a group of C/C++ hackers who have spent the past 18 years re-implementing Windows 95. The fact that there's any CSS at all on their website is a minor miracle.

I don't know how strongly I feel about non-responsive websites displaying a fixed header bar. However, I'm pretty sure that most people who do feel strongly about it either way aren't going to be using or hacking on ReactOS.

Because you have to register a domain with Google and Dropbox to get the sync to work and because it's time to move on to other things.
With all due respect to Stephen Hawking, whose expertise in theoretical physics is undoubted, how would he be in a position to "confirm" this?
Fare enough. I know Windows since Win16 APIs days (started with Windows 3.0)

I would run into similar issues when coding for Apple platforms, for example.

Yeah, this should have been included in the article.
From Wikipedia:
A long distance point to point HVDC transmission scheme generally has lower overall investment cost and lower losses than an equivalent AC transmission scheme. HVDC conversion equipment at the terminal stations is costly, but the total DC transmission line costs over long distances are lower than AC line of the same distance. HVDC requires less conductor per unit distance than an AC line, as there is no need to support three phases and there is no skin effect.

Government, and even individual administrations contradict themselves all the time, not unlike the rest of us, but sadly to the detriment of the Rule of Law and the Citizens subject to those laws.

The Obama Administration began with a bailout of the American auto industry, and here seven years later, it is pouring billions of dollars into self-driving vehicles that could disrupt that same industry. I'm sure there are examples to be found in every administration (and Congress) before Obama, all the way to the First Congress.

IMHO, I'm really glad that a judge decided to rule in a way that says the Government cannot contradict itself. I wish it happened more often.
As a keen cyclist I'd quite like to see this stuff built into a bike helmet, real time GPS, backwards looking camera, speed and route corrections, FLIR for night riding will be interesting to see where we are in 5 years if this takes off the price should fall pretty rapidly.
You're likely to look back with a bit of a chuckle about not having seen it coming. Just my guess of course, i've been wrong before.

Google glasses were still way too clunky; ubiquity may not happen in earnest until the technology comes as contact lenses. That's still science fiction, but far from impossible. And many of us wear glasses already, so wearing something discrete that doesn't look as ridiculous as google glasses did, would already be embraced.

There is a huge opportunity for such tech to change our life as much as the cell phone. Discrete heads up display with instructions for new objects, forgotten names, dates, places etc.. Beautiful, personalized artwork and decor at the office and home. The list is endless.
You have to use preprocessor in any non-trivial C++ project. For an idiomatic and very nice and clean example of a heavy preprocessor use see LLVM and Clang code.

I'm sure you're right about not having quite as much elbow room at google compared to other companies - but saying that I'm not sure strictly enforcing a style guide is great example a developers freedom being quashed.

Anywhere you're working on a codebase that you want to be maintainable having a style guide that is strictly enforced seems like a no brainer. Keeping in my mind google could have any number of developers working on a codebase
Can you retry now? We had some event processing delays due to our growth.

The inspiration for many of these entries: Stephen Hawking, perhaps one of the most famous scientists in the world today, who as the result of Motor Neurone Disease (also known as ALS and Lou Gehrig's Disease) is quadriplegic and uses a wheelchair, and who, since a 1985 tracheotomy, has used a computer voice synthesizer to speak. Somehow, though, he was able to have an extramarital affair, so apparently not everything is paralyzed.
Bug fixed. Email event processing was delayed yesterday, emails should have be dispatched a few hours back ago.
This is exactly the conclusion we arrived at. We re-build our base images nightly (including all available updates) and then base the application images on those.
Quite a coincidence, I made a movie yesterday about neural networks and how Google's 'deep dreaming' works:

Without capitalist advancement, prices would rise at a frightening rate.

Decide what you want - fully stocked supermarket shelves thanks to capitalist efficiency. Or rationing, shortages and civil unrest thanks to government intervention in the markets and the dissolution of business.
It wouldn't be system-wide. You'd need to compromise an interactive user account, install and run the keylogger as them, and wait for them to su or sudo. So it's a means of escalating privileges from a regular user account.
I setup a server with 16GB of RAM and a 480GB SSD, and installed 2 of each of these on the machine using VMware ESXi (the free version)

At the time we were supporting XP+IE6 for a client so this worked great for testing older browser versions, and prevented each developer from having to install their own local copies. Just RDP over to the test box...

That's the very basics of C preprocessor and the last part (#ifdef vs #ifs) didn't convince me at all, it's just a matter of programming style and use case.

Those are only available for the 2012 and early 2013 Retina machines, the first two models. You can also get an mSATA adapter on eBay and use any mainstream mSATA drive to upgrade those which is even cheaper than the OWC drive.
Symbol heavy syntax as opposed to symbol free xml? Could you elaborate?
I think wallflower is right: Technical writers generally get paid less than what developers make. But every company is different. At Compose.io, for example, I think it could be more of a blended position, which is to say that you could be writing documentation and contributing to the codebase [1]. There may not be much of a pay gap at companies like that.

There are also other benefits. Technical writing positions are generally extremely low stress jobs where you have ample time to finish your work, learn new technologies, etc. And as I mentioned before, many of these positions are remote, so you have the opportunity to live in places with low costs of living.

Always? How about in the OP?
We used Salesforce because it was forced upon us. We initially had an in-house solution and there were issues extracting data for the sales team. Probably the brand name itself and the fact that the sales team were familiar with it led the management team to go with it. In the end, we wasted countless developer hours trying to integrate it with our systems.
Now with a new Web HTML5 version for a fast loading game ! And working on the Windows Phone version (already available for Android/iOS) ! Good luck ^^ !
Sure it can. You just embed the tram lines in the road, so that cars can drive on them when trams aren't.

I am sure that models in 10 years will not be these huge plastic pieces but they will nevertheless cover the eyes to overlay anything useful. I don't like wearing glasses or anything else on my head. I don't think that will change.
Extrapolate from current trends and the general apathy of the people who could change them.

Is there anything you are aware of that would prevent it, other than "it might not happen, for some reason"?
VW Dispenses with DJs to Focus on Technology in New Humility
In the UK payday loan interest rates are listed in terms of APR (anualised interest) because regulations stipulate it. A payday loan is a short term loan so the effective interest rate is lower. Still high - that's how the time value of money works, try getting a short term bridging loan from a retail bank (actually almost impossible, hence Wonga et al) - but not 1000%. Always provided that you pay it back on time, of course. It's true that taking one out without the ability or intent to pay it back within the window is irrational but people in dire straits are often subject to hyperbolic discounting effects.
Good game, and very addictive...good job guy
While it's good that there is debate about access to data by US security services, we should remember that there are a lot of other players in this game. Having an arrangement where EU businesses can work with US businesses and EU customers know that their data isn't being passed on to non-governmental organisations (advertisers, credit agencies, whoever) once it's outside the European safeguards is still helpful. How this gets audited in practice is a different question of course, but then that's true for European businesses as well.

How can they hoard A.I. ? I mean software becomes cheaper really quickly. That's what I am not getting about this "warning."
Pretty much, yes.

I think that accepting advertising as a normal part of life is terrible.

I cannot escape from Coca Cola's existence. I cannot, without locking myself in a cabin, ignore corporations, because they shove themselves in my face every day, even if I don't go to the grocery store.

I walk down the street and see adverts for beauty products. So I'm reminded that whole industries, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of workers, exist to try and peddle chemicals to the insecure.

I do see it as a moral issue. Without a cost-benefit analysis, 'X would not exist without advertising' is a meaningless argument - hell, you can't even show that it's true, plenty of websites exist without advertising.

This idea that everything must be 'monetized' is broken. Artists require enough money to live and to buy materials for their art. We can provide that without everyone being encouraged to buy bollocks they don't need.
I have to disagree, I thought Foucault's Pendulum was a lot of fun. Not as funny as some of his other books, but still had some amusing moments. And it did like its characters, even if they were self-destructive (although it didn't mind being a little smarter than them, but that's not mean-spirited).
I don't object to having a style guide. I object to the extent of it. Some rules of good practice make sense. But having a really extensive style guide shifts code review away from what it should be focusing on -- correctness, clarity, efficiency -- towards punctilious enforcement of minutiae.

Here's Google's Java style guide, if you want to have a look yourself:

The problem with ReactOS is its lack of automatic or semi-automatic OS update.

There is plan to do it, but from what I understand, it's still not available:

https://www.reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Update

Security is another major problem with this OS. They are proud to have produce 9M LoC, but they don't advertise how they assure this code is not full of vulnerabilities.

Do they audit the code ? Do they use static analysis tools ? Do they have specifics security practices and processes ?

I don't see any security advisory on their page. I only see a wishlist on their wiki https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Security
This analysis is correct. Programs achieve the objective of the programmer. Currently, the goal is to maximize profits. Imagine a supply chain with profit-optimizing drones and self-driving cars.

The best practice is to identify which key metrics are the most meaningful for your business goals. Without knowing where you're headed, it's difficult to know what to measure.

Then figure out what's the cost of tracking everything? Does it affect UX? Does it affect your storage capacity? Do you have an analytical team that can work with all that data?

In theory, great idea to track everything (personally I would too). But it may save you more time just to focus on the ones that matter instead of ones that don't.
Because the linked article does not capture his original words well. Instead he said:

> If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed.

> Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.

> So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.

Again, this is recursion, if the upstream maintainer for the Apache and Nginx images is doing their job, the "yum update" should do nothing.

Though, I agree, it's very important to highlight that too much branching can cause massive environment bloat and way too many permutations.

If we just tell everyone to do yum updates at their layer this problem goes away. Ahh, recursion...
