I've never understood this argument. The day you pull a gun on "government" is the day you will be killed on the spot, or sentenced to death row, or sent to life in prison with no chance of parole. You will be permanently removed from your comfortable life, and whomever takes that life away from you will face no penalty for doing so.

So you own a handgun? The government will have assault rifles. Oh, you own an assault-like rifle? The government will have RPG's and grenades. It doesn't matter what you own, the government will win every time. You are guaranteed to lose.

We hear this argument from Americans every single time this topic is brought up. "It's to keep the government in check!". What a load of horse crap. Every time, we only hear repeated "Constitution! Constitution!". Perhaps a little rational thought is required to comprehend that a document written ~227 years ago is probably out of date with modern reality when it comes to firearms.

It's a combination of amusing, frustrating, and bewildering to witness a large number of Americans' behaviour whenever this topic resurfaces. Honestly, most of the rest of the world out here just can't understand how you people are so goddamn self-indoctrinated into keeping your guns. There is no reasoning that I can apply to even begin to validate the concept that guns in the hands of citizens is a good thing.
That sounds entirely reasonable; by paying, you're respecting the time the candidates have to put aside and chances are it will motivate people to do better.

I used to fly. I'd quite like to fly many different marques, Spitfire included. So I can understand someone with an interest in firearms wanting to shoot many calibers and types. In the UK target shooting and clay pigeon shooting were the commonest use of firearms, rather than doing damage. Unless you count the paper.

I'm well aware the Sun is just a comic, just sharing the recollection. :)

Overall I'm in favour of law abiding citizens being able to shoot if they wish to, but the experience of the likes of Hungerford and Cumbria tells us it's not worth the risk. I'm inclined to think that in the absence of firearms Ryan or Hamilton would have done something equally terrible with an axe or bread knife. We already had a school machete attack in the 90s. It's the mental state not the firearm per se that's the problem. So I don't find it as clear cut as maybe I'd like it to be.
Just out of curiosity, what deeper truths?
Intel ME has very useful legitimate purposes for existing. It's a very powerful tool for some people, and most people would call you a conspiracy theorist for suggesting that Intel, or someone who manages to get security creds from Intel, would misuse them break into your computer. I have also had allegedly advanced system engineers tell me that there is really no risk for an outside party being able to compromise your system with this technology, but I remain pretty skeptical of that claim.

In short, the overlap between people who know about it and are also security conscious is pretty small. There's also dozens of other things people should be more concerned about in terms of a corporate or state actor gaining unauthorized access to your computer.
Nice throw-away. How 'bout you man up and own your opinions?
Even though we had pinned all our dependencies (with requirements like package-x==1.2.3), pip would still reach out to PyPI before before deciding which version to pick.

I agree that touch is a lousy input method, because it's imprecise and you can't see what you're touching. But phones have other input methods, like the accelerometer. Even early iPhones had a ball rolling game that you could play by tilting the phone. With a modern phone, a controller, and something like Google Cardboard, you could make a decent VR FPS game. And by making imaginative use of the camera and microphone (both movable), you could probably do even more.
Huh, what's wrong with me then. I absolutely do not need a gun, ever. Nobody needs a gun. If you think you need a gun then you have serious problems.

Let's talk about basic human needs. Food, water, Air, and to a lesser extent clothing and shelter. You don't need a gun for any of those things. Sure a gun can help with food, but guess what, you don't even need to eat meat, there are so many other sources of food.

So no, you don't need a gun, and you sure as hell don't need a "semi-automatic pistol".

OK hold on. Say the rotating salt thing doesn't work, for whatever reason.

But you yourself made a better suggestion! If we do hash (phone #) contact pairs, and every client publishes multiple hashes, one for each of its contacts, then a cheating server would need to compute (max) (10^10 * 10^10)/3600 ~ 2.7e17 hours worth of hashes.

That would actually be secure, no?

We built BODY to bring group fitness to the world. BODY is a first-of-its kind fitness & wellness experience that brings high-end group fitness classes and personal coaching to users in real time -- wherever they have an internet connection -- at a price almost anyone can afford. Everyone gets to take a free intro class – no credit card required.

A few quick thoughts for context:
--- For only $30 / month, we’ve created a full service health ecosystem, which includes a $50 starter kit, a 24/7 wellness hotline, unlimited classes, a personal coach that helps you optimize your fitness.

--- Justin and I are both engineers. Justin is a coach and I am a fitness consumer. We built this to be a perfect solution for coaches and consumers. We know what coaches need to teach well and and what consumers need to workout well and so we built that solution.

--- Lots of streaming and DVD services already exist, but these are all a ‘one-way street’, so the instructor can’t see any of the participants, which is dangerous and delivers suboptimal results. Many of the new ones are trying to retrofit the same type of experience with different delivery channels (dvd, streaming, mobile, etc). None of them are very fun or engaging. Many celebrities are now trying to pump out even more videos or streaming services. They can’t grow with you, and generally don’t help you learn new skills. BODY does.

--- Our program is a combination of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and functional training. Why is strength / functional training so important you ask? In a recent study (link below) overweight subjects were assigned to three groups: diet-only, diet plus 30-50 minutes of pure aerobics, and diet plus aerobics plus weights. The diet group lost 14.6 pounds of fat in 12 weeks. The aerobic group lost only one more pound (15.6 pounds) than the diet group. The weight training group lost 21.1 pounds of fat (44% and 35% more than diet and aerobic only groups respectively). Basically, the addition of aerobic training didn’t result in any real world significant fat loss over dieting alone. However, the addition of resistance training greatly accelerated fat loss results.

You have to remember only law abiding citizens in the US follow the gun laws.

If a bad guy breaks into your house in the middle of the night, the police response time is not enough to save you and your family. If you want to protect your young child in this case, its better to lawfully own a gun and have proper training on how to use it.
Why would it be horrible for everyone if American companies were weakened?

There are companies outside the US, you know. It's not like we're going go back to the Dark Ages if American corporations all suddenly ceased to exist. Apple users would be unhappy, of course, because they'd have to switch to LG or Samsung phones, but "absolutely horrible"? Are you kidding?

I think that's debatable. The quality of your measurement is then simply a function of how well your tests are in the first place. Do you really think giving a person FizzBuzz is any kind of accurate predictor of future success at a job?

This is definitely true — 9×9 is too small for a real game. But 13×13 is a much better compromise and I would recommend that to players who have outgrown the 9×9 but still don't need to sit through a two-hour game before they learn from each mistake.

(To be precise, the problem with 9×9 is that often after just a few moves the board is divided into a white half and a black half, and the rest of the game is a yose to decide whose half is larger. I'm sure someone can counterargue that if played expertly, 9×9 is a fascinating and highly skilled game; but in general it's going to lack a lot of the situations you can encounter in a full game of Go.)
Huh, didn't realize bazookas were actually legal.

But, the fact that there is an NFA requirement proves my point - the 2A isn't absolute - there are restrictions placed on firearms.
Not everyone that might be interested in reading a Medium post lives in a country blessed with lightning-fast internet infrastructure.

Of course not, but it is (or at least should be) a two-way process. If the interviewer wants you to invest hours of your time this should be respected; either by paying for it, or at least by being sensitive to the fact that people generally apply to jobs while already employed somewhere. So don't give them a 24-hour deadline on a programming task that takes 4-5 hours, things like that.

That's the thing though: the government has been snooping without a court order for a while. Now they are saying "Oh, no, we'd totally only do this with a warrant or court order. Trust us!"

I don't understand. This article claims users feel entitled to free content on the internet and then goes into a rant about pricing and ad blockers while doing nothing to address the glaring fact that he himself thinks he's entitled to make money off of content.

The internet is for the people. It is a free and open service for anyone to use. The only one entitled is the content creator who feels that they have a right to make money for what they produce. Simply no. The internet is for people, not for businesses.
If we talk in terms of concepts that exist in the C standard, we would say that you can't cast an object to pointer-to-X unless your pointer actually points to an X.

The reason your example is illegal is that you are casting to pointer-to-"struct derived", but the thing being pointed to is not actually a "struct derived."

The "physical subtyping" pattern works because the C standard says that a pointer to a struct, suitably converted, also points to its first member. So a pointer-to-Derived, converted to a pointer-to-Base, points at Derived's first member. But a pointer-to-Base doesn't point at a Derived unless that object actually is a Derived. So the downcast is only legal if the object actually is a Derived.
What about the criminals in the UK that do not obtain any firearm?

Someone carrying a cheap pistol is still more heavily armed than someone carrying brass knuckles.

I'm not going to go find the facts and figures, still, I'm pretty sure that the incidence of gun crime is higher in the US, pointing out that gun buying criminals in the UK probably buy nicer guns doesn't change that.

Banning Guns may Decrease Gun Violence, But they do not have the effect of reducing Violent Crime In General. Case In point Australia After the Gun Ban Saw Violent Crimes increase, for a few years and after those the decline in Violence was less than the decline seen in most first world nations like the US.
http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/violent%20crime.html

Ask yourself this question why do people advocating for gun control only talk about the decrease in gun violence and not violence/homicide in general. Why is a stabbing death not equal to a gun death?
To your question, The one that out rightly bans guns would have definitely prevented this.

We can debate to no end about how she should have, could have, would have, etc taken preventive measures. But the fact of the matter is, accidents do and will happen.
We should really take a look at how literally the rest of the world does it and take notes.
The cash register at my favourite health food store uses the "uh-oh" sound. To this day it remains one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard, and it will not leave my life.
I almost overlooked this article because I got turned off by the opening description in base 10

The article talks about the last digit: That's also the remainder upon dividing by 10, a perfectly sensible thing to discuss. Similarly what it discusses in base 3 is the last digit, the remainder upon dividing by 3. Properties of numbers, particularly primes, modulo other numbers have been much studied by number theorists.
> It doesn't matter what you own, the government will win every time. You are guaranteed to lose.

I think this isn't true if enough people decide to attack the government in concert, say 10% of the population, that's 30 million people. I'm not saying that will ever happen, but American police forces are already stretched to the limit and can be easily tied up.

But probably, knives would suffice for that purpose. Or just not showing up for work.
That is interesting to know. But, so the Tasks (which is implemented with light-weight threads IIUC) will all run in the same os process/thread, unless you manually create new ones?
But you needed to know about them ahead of time, or search for and pick one on the spot, and rely on it to be stable/reliable (and actively supported or it would fail next time the protocol was tweaked as seemed to happen often if the release cycle of MSN plugins for pidgin were representative), and trust an extra 3rd party with your conversations.

Just using an IM arrangement that natively supports web based access, which it has some disadvantages, was much simpler for most people.
You also never need to defend yourself in this hypotetical situation.
Depends on what one is defining an "assault rifle". The most common definition used by the news media can be a semi-automatic hunting rifle with aftermarket parts on it. The term "assault rifle" is a dishonest attempt by certain people to influence a certain reaction in people.

Last week, I finished 2-3 hours of on-site interviews which required a flight and an overnight stay after an initial phone screen, a phone technical interview, and a short technical challenge online.

I was surprised how a couple really basic concepts evaporated from my head during the in-person white boarding. The questions though were reasonable and the interviewers were friendly. All in all a positive experience just an incredible investment of time it seems for all concerned.

The take away is I need to practice solving problems on a white board with just 3 hours of sleep. The sleep deprivation part might be the most important factor to simulate.

Hm. Maybe bourbon? Or a good cider?
> There are plenty of examples where technology has rapidly advanced to some remarkable level, but then almost completely plateaued.

And that's why you assume that it does not skyrocket in the future? Predicting the future is hard either way, ask a turkey before he gets his head chopped off.

> I'm also tired of all the statements about "accelerating progress". It's not like all the AI research of the past was useless until DNNs came along.

It's not that it was useless, but AI is improving as any other field is, some say faster than most other fields, and it's becoming more useful from day to day.

My guess would also be that "with further refinement, we'll soon see AI play Go at a level well beyond human", but it's just a guess.

No former employer is going to say "this guy can't program, don't hire him" for fear of getting sued. Co-workers might be friends who are covering for you, or just genuinely have no idea of your actual ability.

Ohh to add this: I know HPKP works with Publickeys, the only question is, if I need to sign it first or can I sign it when I need it?
I'm not sure why you are implying that "for the people", means excluding organized groups of people, especially profit focused groups.
My argument was that the 2A isn't absolute, as the parent implied. There are restrictions placed on the ownership and use of firearms (see child comment about NFA items and the extra paperwork, fees, and licensing involved).

I'm not anti-gun, in the general sense. I am pro-gun control in a much as the current system allows too many irresponsible people to own guns for no good reason (Jamie Gilt being a prime example).
To give you more context, it is not just "a" javascript engine. It is the engine behind node.jj, Google Chrome, and others!
Yeah that's an excellent sketch. I think he really does touch on an important point, the only good reason to have guns is because they're fun. Self defense is nonsense and protection from government is even more nonsense nowadays.

I'm actually fairly pro-gun (for the UK at least), I think we're quite restrictive on the type of guns allowed (eg. larger calibre rifles would be fun down a range). But at the same time I'm very pro gun-control; they should be licensed, inspected, restricted in type and how/where you're allowed to carry, etc.

Overall I'm happy with how it's worked out, I'd rather not have guns than have the problems of mass gun ownership.
I totally agree. I have been back and forth on using bootstrap with CDN verse just plain simple css. I did a test with bourbon.io this morning to make a simple page with the responsive navbar. The resulting css file was just 1 kb compressed. That is a huge improvement over these heavier frameworks.

A major con against AMP in my opinion is that it is something else to learn on top of everything.
I agree on the tracking on gun ownership in the US, which is why I treat all such research with the same distrust. Whether they are pro or anti gun in nature.
> ... and even told me he thought I was a better programmer than him.
