I came across a good summary of these requirements a while back. Unfortunately, I can can't find it now, but I can say there are definitely laws regarding this in the US, but they vary by jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions require 2 single-occupancy bathrooms to be labeled gendered, while some other jurisdictions require 2 single-occupancy bathrooms to be unisex.

P.S.: While not what I was looking for, I was able to find this Reason article that talks about the issue: http://reason.com/archives/2014/04/11/gender-neutral-bathroo...
Really interesting article all around, thanks for posting. I didn't realize the FDA's procedures were that bad :(.

Because in a tight job market (which is what we have) they are mandatory. If you have 500 candidates and 250 don't have degrees you can eliminate half the applicants pretty easy. And you don't want to be in the easy-to-eliminate half.

The question isn't who you work with now, it's what your HR department puts on new job postings. Do they say degree required?
We changed the title to say "in Rust" because someone else complained about "for Hackers". I suppose we could take both of them out, but the project highlights its Rustiness so this seems more representative.
I never intended for this to be an argument about "who has is worse" or something like that. What's being described in the article is obviously terrible. However, by the author's own admission, the people here could get up and walk away at any time, and that they are staying merely because of a sense of duty tied to a legal fiction. This is terrible, i repeat, it's an illegal, shameful, terrible act, but it is not slavery. I'm not in anyway trying to trivialize what's happening, i'm upset because the author is clickbaiting something that doesn't need it.
Yo martanne, I'll be adding vis too in the future. Keep it up :)

Actually, scientists have a huge incentive to overthrow an existing regime if it's bad but nobody knows it yet. It will make your career if you are able to prove it. The evidence required is high if what you're trying to disprove is well supported, but if you can provide that evidence there will be a wellspring of PhD students ready to ride that wave and build their careers.

For climate deniers, the evidence just isn't there. There's no wave to ride.
We need more computer scientists in congress. I expect we'll see a lot more technically competent politicians in the coming decades. Voters like smart people, and those who were once seen as "nerds" can now garner the respect of everyday Americans. People who "know about computers" are seen as smart. A smooth talking, highly technical, successful startup founder will have a good chance of winning a state-level election.

Within 20 years, when all these ignorant fossils in congress finally die, hopefully some smart and technically informed people will replace them.

Apartment leases are debt too - you are obligated to pay someone a fixed amount of money on a recurring basis for a fixed term.

I suppose in a month-to-month lease you have the "option" of becoming homeless.

Tech is unusual in this regard. Most of the jobs that don't require a degree are either terrible or require luck/connections to get into. Skilled trades are often put forward as an exception, but the people I've known in those sorts of positions usually were able to get into them because of some sort of connection: family, etc. If they were easier to get into their wages would drop.
Very believable. I'd have probably responded with the "prevailing opinion" to myself if I hadn't been the one that asked the question. :)
Ok I guess I should have said that its root comes from the ancient word for "slave".
I've found I often prefer reading and writing the actual guts of the inlined function, over naming it something semantically significant. It's often difficult to craft a good English name for the function. It can inhibit understanding to have to change context to learn what a function does by looking at its code (OtherModule.capitalizeEveryWordInThe). There can be small semantic variations (capitalizeEveryWordInThe, capitalizeEveryWordButFirstInThe) requiring an exploding util package.

Edit. I'm saying I find the one-liner form frequently more understandable than one embodied in a function.
Hi everyone - here's a Dexter app we made that can be configured to feature the YouTube playlists and channels you choose. Initially we built one that was pre-configured with all the late shows, but saw how it could really be used for any content that features interviews, monologs, MOS, etc. If you remix the app, there are private variables in the settings where you can provide your own artwork and file paths. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Sorry, you're 100% right and I agree with you on that.

however http://www.npgsql.org/ is not yet a "first class" driver.

Notice the tags on there, "Stable" release is inaccessible and unstable has warnings (also it is labelled as unstable)

I would be less likely to feel secure in trusting the unstable release of a third party driver even though I know that the .NET team mentioned NPG during the last community standup. My understanding was that they said members of the Entity Framework team are working with the team at NPG.

I do think that it will be usable very soon, but the SQLServer drivers are working now.

This is like saying that because Rome had slaves and people were fed to lions in the arena, the dark ages were 'better'...

Progress is supposed to continue, and we should have higher hopes than comparing our current lot to ages which were objectively pretty horrible... We've literally undone the progress made since 1950, and you're arguing that's OK because at least it's better than the 1800s or whatever.

I was astonished at how selfish/myopic/whatever alloy's response was.

To be blunt, you're abusing the shit out of SOMEONE ELSE'S product that you're not even paying for. Your first question shouldn't be to see what Github can do for you to make it so you don't have to make changes. You should be falling over yourself investigating all available avenues for reducing load.

It's an incredibly entitled way to think about things and I would have a real hard time employing someone who's first response was like this.
I think that's pretty unfair. It's really obvious that the initial reply didn't really understand what was going on, and what was being explained. A couple followup additional explanations later, the same dev grokked the problem, CocoaPods' responsibility for the problem, and outlined a list of how they're going to solve it. Seemed to me to be a pretty nice example of professional and helpful candor between GH and an OSS project working to figure out a long-term solution.

> There have been some truly remarkable advancements that span the gamut from simple behavioral changes like reduced calorie intake to advances in knowledge of certain enzymes and other compounds that have yielded statistically significant results - published results of just these two examples have yielded up to 50% increase in longevity in various animals with the latter leading to accelerated FDA approvals for human trials.

BTW, I think you've mis-interpreted the discussion. The two examples you gave above don't affect the rate of aging. They affect the symptoms of aging, and they delay death. I think most people agree we don't know exactly where the limit of longevity is once we remove all types of early mortality. But, as is true with life expectancy, we will uncover a limit that is slightly higher than where it is right now. Barring scientific advances that change the rate of aging, both metrics will asymptotically flat-line somewhere.

It'd be awesome to see such scientific advances. I hope it happens, and I support the activity. But the truth is that none of the evidence we've gathered so far has unlimited potential for longevity, all of it is removing obstacles that cause early death, not pushing the real boundary of longer life than was previously attainable.
The missing piece is "learning about the problems and working to make the country better". It's hard not to feel that a significant number of elected officials often have the opposite approach - ignore the facts/research and work to line the pockets of their benefactors.
I imagine most (like us) are just staying put until a clear alternative is present. There's no rush to get off of Drupal 7. Security updates are still flowing, the module environment is finally starting to mature, and there's no real sign that there's an EOL being set anytime soon.

If I was building a new site that made sense to use a CMS and not build something from scratch, I'd still probably go Drupal 7.

Seriously. I regularly `npm i`, run tests, switch branches, blow away node_modules, then `npm i` again. It's really important for it to be quick. Then again, there is caching to help.
This is just a mirror and not the repo the devs actually work on, so I don't think it's very taxing on the resources.

Property-based testing in Go
unfortunately, the primary cause of this phenomenon is debt... But not personal debt. Sovereign debt steals from the generational future. The only way to liberate yourself from sovereign debt is by decoupling your assets from the primary mechanism of amortization - inflation - so, investing in "things which are not dollars". This is why the poor are hurt so much harder by this than the rich.
The menu of the battery status indicator also shows a summary of this, if there are applications that are using lots of power (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202776)
The piece chain approach does indeed have some cons too, not only advantages. E.g. retrieving a byte at a specific absolute offset requires iterating sequentially over all preceding "pieces" of the chain in the basic variant of the structure (i.e. if used without additional helpers/caches/...). But which method doesn't bring its own disadvantages as well as advantages? It would probably be interesting if someone managed to write a comprehensive comparison/analysis of all the various known data structures for editors...

My intention was to highlight the piece-chain method as it seems to me surprisingly often overlooked (not known?), while having quite some noteworthy features. That said, I'm starting to think that maybe its non-trivialness can be seen in itself as one of the disadvantages too (i.e. by maybe making the program more complex than for the other, "dumber" methods)? Not sure on that, though. Adding undo upon the other ("simpler") approaches may possibly make them more complex anyway?
This isn't so much an article as it is an excerpt from a book that is linked at the bottom. If you are looking for a pithy expose on the link between slavery, iPhones and environmentalism, you won't find it here, but the book does seem like a good read on the subjects it brings up.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Do you have any additional thoughts on when a CMS is appropriate versus static sites or from-scratch sites?

Same. Don't know Ruby at all, but in this case the language is pretty straightforward. Perhaps Ruby was the wrong example. Let's get more magical with Perl:

How Postgres and Open Source Are Disrupting the Database Market
Because most people don't know any better. Millennials have literally spent their entire life time being told that a college degree is the only way to succeed in life. No one mentions what to major in or where to do it at. So they get bad degrees, go into overwhelming debt, and then can't find a job on top of all that. I know that a $50K college degree in UnderWaterBasketWeaving is probably a waste of money but at 18 I sure as hell didn't. And the worst part is that parents buy into and propagate the narrative too, because they don't know any better either. They grew up in a time in which a degree was actually a golden ticket to the middle class.

And then there is the fact that in a lot of cases it is mandatory. My mom has been a secretary most of her adult life. Then she became a parelegal because of her overwhelming experience. It has become increasingly hard for her to change jobs as a Middle aged woman because most firms won't even look at someone without a bachelor job for a secretary position. Much less the better paying parelegal job she's become accustomed to. A 20 year old kid just trying to get that entry level position now has to compete not only with people like my mom with more years experience than he's been alive, but also with degree holding individuals.

Well, it is what it is (the first prime number after a googolplex). What would you prefer as a description of it? A listing of its digits? That would take rather a long time to read out. I can start you off, though. Its first few digits are 100000....

(It's easy enough to write a program that will eventually, slowly, find and stream to the display its digits or any other basic information about it you are interested in, of course. It's just infeasibly slow to use such a thing at the moment.)

The current largest "known" prime, for some sense of what it is to indicate a specific number and know it to be prime, has about 20 million digits (and a very specific convenient form). The prime you are looking for will have about a googol digits instead. So, we're far off, at the moment, from being able to figure out the sort of information about it you're presumably interested in.
It feels like designers really have a bad rep here and I have no idea why. I mean, yes, there are horrible websites out there – but those are just made by bad designers.

If I look at the actually ambititous people, those comparable to the HN crowd of programmers, I just see enourmous competence. They no longer do web design with a desktop publishing mindset (that's a clich=e of the 90ies). They've rebranded to User Interface Design, to Interaction Design and to whatever "Service Design" may be. Which means: they usually know better than most programmers that design isn't about something being pretty, but that it's part of an interaction of machines, data & humans.

I seriously don't know any designer who isn't obsessed with usability, load times, discoverability and so on. You also can't get a degree today without at least a few semesters of python.

Do they always hit the right balance between performance and features? I don't know. But it appears as if there's a fundamental principle: Just like some would like to surf the 90ies web with the 2016 connection, others may want to run Windows 2000 on today's computers, or get a car from the 60ies produced in today's effiecient factories.

In all these areas, the creative people as well as (too an overwhelming extend) the consumers have chosen a balance that appears to work ok. And anyone complaining here be better only writing in C & Assembly.
This is true also outside of the platform and in any business whatsoever. The payee is always at risk of not being paid. That said I believe this system will overall prove to reduce risk for developers and increase overall collecting ratio. The tasks that are being dealt here are meant to be small and specific. Not full scale projects. And once a merge happens, the payment is immediate. Also, a developer that uses this system heavily will have a never ending pipeline of work and won't be required to do marketing and customer care anymore, so all in all, their monthly income will increase.
I do think that your last sentence is the answer: if you're using a package manager instead of working with the directory heavily, this isn't a visible problem which is going to motivate people to work on it.

The other side to consider: “one directory per package” is a very simple policy and it feels right in many ways to people (e.g. Homebrew has a similar structure because it's a natural fit for the domain). If the filesystem and basic tools like ls work just fine (which is certainly the case on OS X, where even "ls -l" or the Finder take less than a second on a directory of that size), isn't there a valid argument that the answer should be some combination of fixing tools which don't handle that well or encouraging people to learn about things like `find` instead of using wildcards which match huge numbers of files?
Quad and squad. The joys of a character-set derived by the character overstriking your original development teletype could produce.
Well, in Canada, 'college' means a 2 year technical diploma, and is basically worthless unless you are studying to be a mechanic or a secretary.

3 year university degrees exist, but only in general studies or a few very soft subjects.

The 'typical' degree which is called a 4-year degree, means you need to take the maximum course load every semester for 4 years. With scheduling, workloads, internships, etc..., it's very rare for anyone to complete it in 4 years in most fields (engineering, business, most sciences, etc...) these days. It's possible, but the vast majority take longer. If you change majors even once, good luck.

Anyhow, not sure exactly how the system works in the US. Maybe the system is efficient enough that graduating in 4 years is still a possibility? Maybe less people work because the cost is so high, whereas in Canada more students have jobs?

There will always be some high speed trading but the problem is that once you take it into an territory humans can compete then it's not going to be beneficial for that same High Speed Trading to occur.

It's advantage was that it could do it at a speed humans couldn't do.

While there is no specific speed at which we make trades we do mostly get our information from the market. If the frequency of updates go down I would guess so would the randomnes of when we make our bets. The frequency of the market affects the randomness of the order.

Largest known primes are Mersenne primes with the biggest found (by distributed search) having 20 odd million digits:

Can you cite some of these studies? I am interested in how they quantify work (and just seeing the conclusions they come to and how they got there).
The study seems to be looking at the relative distribution of wealth, in which case the conclusion is just another way of saying that more and more income is being captured by the wealthy. Older people in any generation are going to tend to be in the higher percentiles of wealth, so a general trend in wealth distribution from the poor to the rich will tend to favor them and disfavor the young. No need for rationalizing based on millenials' character, or even their micro-economics. The simple mathematical fact is that capitalism, absent some correctional force like progressive taxation, trends inevitably toward greater wealth and income disparity between rich and poor. It's built into the system; not a bug, but a feature.
