I guess what surprised me is I would almost expect it to look something like this...

template <> vec<3,int> ::vec(template <> const vec<3,float> &v) : x(int(v.x+.5f)),y(int(v.y+.5f)),z(int(v.z+.5f)) {}

I can tell that is silly but still.

As a poster points out below, as originally written by Chesterton, this is "about" opposing the education of women in order that they might remain angelically primitive and unspoilt in their leisure activities.

It is absolutely not about taking things like the gym seriously. Chesterton would argue for physical leisure (for men), but only in a fundamentally amateur fashion. Cricket on the village green, "jumpers for goalposts" football, that kind of thing. It's very English (upper class) and not at all Californian.

(Chesterton was a tremendous writer, one of the greats of the English language, but should not be taken as a guide to living one's life in the present day without a pinch of salt)
They cry that they are hurt when you block ads. Forbes.com may be the worst of them, but even if I allow ads they block content if I don't allow the trackers. I was going to email them to voice my concern about this, but there wasn't a contact page easily accessible (they really blocked their pages!).

Exactly, I love working with Clojure, never disappoints, CSP is amazing and even though I understand the benefits of type safety too many people get hang up on that and write type safe incorrect code that does not do well in production. Kotlin seems a bit less complex than Scala, I might give a shot to that. Thanks for the book recommendation though!
I was recently in vegas. You can get hotel rooms cheap, but they have the tax and entertainment fee's that add up quickly. My problem with AirBnB was the $200 cleaning fee for a two night stay.

So far, it's been extremely hit or miss for me. I've found VRBO/Homeaway to be better for vacations.

How to Skyrocket Facebook Reach by 190% in 3 Months
I agree, but it's likely to change nothing. I'm not being defeatist per se, but I went through all this with the RIP Act in 2000 and it was futile, even though the Conservatives went through some posturing in defence of civil liberties. But now they are introducing worse legislation and Labour can hardly say "this is unprecedented" or whatever, since they were so gung-ho about it fifteen years ago. I wrote many letters and got no decent responses, just boiler-plate reiterations of why it was "necessary."
For the first few seconds, i thought you're talking about real people who're tracking you. Later i realized.. Great writeup. So, true.
There was a really good article on this a couple weeks ago. Here's a link to discussion:

The answer to your question, sadly, is that you're not going to get much of anything by selling a SaaS business that brings in just a few hundred a month. Like on the order of a thousand dollars if you're really lucky.

Your options basically boil down to either shutting it down, letting it run neglected in the background, or stick with it and try to grow it into something better. Which you choose will have a lot to do with the state of the codebase, the amount of time and money it takes to keep it running, and what else you have going on that might be a better use of your time.

So in short, none of us are going to be much help. Good luck!
Not just SV. Children working in the family business is quite common, and there's an exception for it in US child labor law.

IMO it's more common among farmers and blue collar businesses than SV types.
"regardless of how others are behaving"
And a much larger set of decisions.
Maybe an allegory about how, based on the tracking data, the price you pay for something (say airline tickets) changes. Or the availability of health insurance for your kids? I don't have any facts on which to base the latter, however, but I suspect it's either happening or only a matter of time.
This doesn't address my argument at all.

Pretty obvious this is an algotrading fund that has turned up with new kit and happen to be the largest player because the market has so little liquidity.

50p says it's an investment bank or hedge fund familiar to most people who know something about this area, and the people involved might be surprised themselves to find liquidity is so low that they are market making.

One of the most worrying things is how the Tories are changing the game to try and make sure they remain in power.

Changing boundaries in a way that disproportionately benefits themselves.

Changing voter registration / deregistration to make non tory voters more likely to become deregistered.

Lowering short money when they rely on it the least.

Changing the way donations from unions work to drastically lower Labours funds.

So we can probably expect a Tory gov for a long time. Not that Blairs labour were much better...

The problem is that people still don't understand what it is they are trading for a "free" web. It really takes a story like Jacques wrote to drive it home. It has to touch them emotionally, because what we are asking them to be wary of touches them with very strong emotions (facebook, for example).

"Java
Python programs are generally expected to run slower than Java programs, but they also take much less time to develop. Python programs are typically 3-5 times shorter than equivalent Java programs."

I think Python performance wise a less attractive options than Java or Scala. At least according to the authors. Development time is a different question.
I got tired of seeing a drill show up on a bunch of sites after I just searched for it on Home Depot... I block ads on my workstation, but with tablets I just could not find an easy way to block trackers for my whole family.

So Metiix Blockade was born out of this frustration... Now I have "bouncers" protecting my whole network for every one of my devices.

I hate when a web page decides what ads and trackers it wants to pull down from the Internet. With Blockade, I have taken back control of that process and I get to dictate when and where I want to provide my information.

I love feeling like I have the real internet back. No more of these ads and trackers taking over every place I go.
And this law is very likely in place to avoid situations what Airbnb has created.

Namely Airbnb has created a database of (very likely high quality) copies of ID cards that when leaked could be used for identity theft in similar places where digital photographic copies of ID cards over the Internet are accepted as proof of identity.

To be more clear - digital photographic copy of a ID card can not be considered as a proof of the identity because it only shows that the person who is providing this information had either access to the copy itself or had limited time to make a copy in real life.
It sounds like your argument is just to outsource coding standards to the framework's team.

This is super common practice in the UK, at least in some industries (e.g. Gambling). Most online bookmakers & exchanges will require age-verification before they let you place a stake.

I've had similar experiences ordering alcohol online (though only from smaller retailers, and usually only for a first purchase).
It means roughly the same as when the term is applied to politicians when they promise lower taxes: A popular measure that actually has detrimental effects in the long term (with the possible connotation that the politician should/does know this and is just exploiting some base emotions).
"But plenty of people have permanently damaged their knees by consistently running without getting advice on how best to do it."

The people who read running boards all the time roll their eyes at stuff like this. Saying that running will hurt your knees is the running equivalent of "The GPL will infect your codebase." It's not true, but it sounds scary.

Usually, if you ask runners how to run, they will say something like, "It's not that complicated. Run more miles, slowly."

5 Logo Design Tips and Techniques – Logo Design Inspiration
It is their data. What they sell is essentially their http access logs, the ip address and time of every page request. While that information may pertain to you, it's not yours. They own it and can do what they want with it, including selling it to the highest bidder. That's true for any website that keeps access logs.

If the idea that some websites sell their access logs really disturbs you, don't request pages from websites that do that. Just like someone who is afraid of heights can't go to high places, people averse to ad tracking won't be able to go to most websites. Most people don't want to give up their favorite websites, so ad tracking persists.

Many companies that produce or aggregate content do so with the expectation that their efforts will be rewarded with money from ads. When you use an ad blocker, you reap the benefits of their work while knowingly depriving them of what they expected to earn in return. It would be better if you just didn't read their content, effectively voting against their behavior with your feet. Blocking the ads is having your cake and eating theirs too. It's rather benign, there are much worse things, but it isn't really right either.

Don't trade consistency for power. If you know sql, you can answer questions about your data without writing a program, by just executing queries in a database UI. This ad-hoc querying is far more powerful than any other debugging technique for many classes of problems.
I think this depends on the language. In languages where there is a de-facto standard framework, like Python & Django or Ruby & Rails, frameworks are very useful. Then slightly less useful in languages where there are many competing frameworks, like PHP. Then there's front-end Javascript with its flavor-of-the-month frameworks, where they probably do more harm than good.
Who knows, it might be a favorite language when the AI programmers rise up.
In the United States, the recent legal trend toward strict originalism in interpreting the Constitution has created a widening disconnect between what was written in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and what the US needs today.

This dogmatic refusal to reinterpret the Second Amendment, in particular, has created a profoundly bizarre (to this Canadian) situation in which the US has a rate of gun death - not just murder, but also suicide and accidental shooting - that has no comparison anywhere else in the developed world.

Deletion of DNA and fingerprint records 'risks public safety'
This reminds me of the ubiquity of insecure MIFARE Classic chips.

My previous workplace (an international organization that shall remain anonymous) had vending machines where you could "buy" an RFID key that acted sort of like a "wallet". You could refill it by putting it inside the vending machine and then inserting coins, or you could use it to buy goods from the machines. It used MIFARE Classic and was trivial to break, and the cash amount was stored as cents in a short integer. Fun stuff, you could even buy deodorant and panties.

Then, several towns in my country use RFID cards for public transportation payment. Guess what? Even systems implanted AFTER these cards were deemed highly insecure are using them.

Recent Greenpeace article re Fukushima:
The environmental impacts are already becoming apparent, with studies showing:

- High radiation concentrations in new leaves, and at least in the case of cedar, in pollen;

- apparent increases in growth mutations of fir trees with rising radiation levels;

- heritable mutations in pale blue grass butterfly populations and DNA-damaged worms in highly contaminated areas, as well as apparent reduced fertility in barn swallows;

- decreases in the abundance of 57 bird species with higher radiation levels over a four year study; and

- high levels of caesium contamination in commercially important freshwater fish; and radiological contamination of one of the most important ecosystems – coastal estuaries.

Added a link at the end of the article, it looks like your project is free and clean as far as I can see.
Very similar-looking when used with taste (unfortunately some libraries have a culture of using unreadable symbols and poor documentation, but that's changing), so you get the conciseness and readability of Python or Ruby (indeed better - I wish Python would adopt the "_" syntax for lambdas), but with greatly improved safety (and performance), or equivalently with the same level of safety for less testing.

> The two really are 1:1. Windows under the hood is VERY UNIX like. More so than most people realise.

I find this really amusing. I've been reading "Showstopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft"[1] and Dave Cutler is described as VERY anti-Unix. He considered it an inelegant system developed by a bunch of PhDs doing their own thing their own way.

He'd probably hate your comparison.

Im currently at a startup and we're trying to introduce more Scala into the pipeline. I agree that languages like NodeJS can speed up time to market slightly but we are taking a huge hit for it right now as we try to scale with 5x/10x load. I really wish we introduced more Scala/Java up front.
No company sells their http access logs, please don't talk nonsense. The data that is sold is sold to marketeers and is the highest grade profile data that you could get. See the 'schober' link on the page and try to at least be a little bit informed before you start throwing around such opinionated stuff. Schober is an easy target for me because they actually list what they sell, they are also a very old company (they were in business long before the web was born). But they are not the only ones. If you feel like reading a bit on what kind of information is being made available a good place to start would be the RTB spec:

https://github.com/openrtb/OpenRTB

So your whole argument here is based on a strawman.
One place I worked at while in college had a similar thing with smart cards. The vending of the product and debiting of the card wasn't an atomic operation, so if you removed the card at the right time you'd still get the product but not be charged.
If these pieces were on the shore for a while, it's normal that you won't find any barnacles on them. Walk on any beach that isn't regularly cleaned, you will find all kinds of marine garbage - pieces of plastic, rope, never any barnacles.

I am speaking from direct personal experience. Explicit effect sequencing is optional (in contrast to Haskell), traditional OO with inheritance is available. You may not be able to read all the standard library type signatures on day 1 but the documentation is adequate without them. Anything you could do in Python/Ruby/Javascript translates directly; in the very short term I guess not having a single baked-into-the-language concurrency model like Go is a disadvantage, but the use case where you'd need that on day 1 is pretty rare.

Yep, if you are able to gather data over near-infrared (NIR) as well as red channels, you can compute NDVI which is a kind of vegetation index.

Agree completely.

Starting small and adding functionality that I need as I go allows me to understand exactly what I'm doing and why. I get to make the choices about whether I need a dependency, and what the costs of that dependency are.

If all I need is 5% of the functionality, I can code up a small module to do just that without importing 150Kb of random unnecessary.
