True, though there's a lot of this going on in just the Indian population as well. Generally, people tend to eat more meat as incomes rise. That is true in the west as well as the east.

A lot of doors will be closed to you if you don't have a degree. And college is a great place to make connections with like-minded people too.
Considering Kerr used to play for Pop at one point I'm pretty sure he's got his own reasons for his approach? Not really a secret the way Pop runs his show. Just different. For the record I admire Pop's coaching skill. And his interview gamesmanship. "More points. Fewer turnovers. Okay? Thanks." Heh.

And if we look at the UK, all the banks that failed (RBS, HBOS, Northern Rock) failed because of their bad loans or over-reliance on short-term funding, not because of investment banking activities.
Hmm, I haven't used Opera since about 2004. How is it on Linux platforms? I am getting tired of Firefox eating all my ram, and I've never been crazy about Chrome.

Edit: Seems like it is just a different wrapper around the Chrome internals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_%28web_engine%29 Does it do anything differently (or better) than Chrome or FF?
The order in which pure functions are evaluated doesn't matter (except with respect to nontermination). You are claiming people say that the order they are applied doesn't matter - this is a bit ambiguous. The example above is changing what the functions are applied to - everyone agrees that this matter (outside some well structured exceptions).
I added a separate file without any code comments as well.

I think it is important to ponder about what is the best (efficient, best matching, ...) solution to the problems the user has. In your definition agility sounds like the absence of pragmatism.

This is known as a reachability problem that in the general case cannot be proven. So, "not inclined" may actually mean "can't (in any reasonable amount of time)".
I have a 16Gig 512 SSD Macbook pro and its faster than ever, since I have upgraded. As far as touchscreen on laptops is concerned; Steve Jobs mentioned that its not ergonomically correct. And I agree, I don't know how much long I can lift my fingers and touch the screen everytime I have to navigate. Apple has added lot of gestures on its track pad which is awesome.
Note that this doesn't mean completely self-taught!

Most (good) developers are definitely at least partially self-taught, but those who are employed in the industry also tend to possess, not necessarily a CS degree but at least on in a related field.
I believe this rule to be true in general, and in all environments. I.e. 90% of software developers (or any other profession) are terrible at their job. But this _also_ goes for prestigious company environments like Google -- 90% of Google developers are mediocre. And conversely, the top 10% of developers in a 100 man, mid-west company that you've never heard of do work on the same level as the top 10% of Googlers. (This does not extend to functions that the small firm does not have, i.e. R&D.)

This is partly due to selection (firms filter out exceptionally good people and select for mediocrity) but also due to the hierarchical nature of social organizations: only the top of the pyramid have the agency and corresponding authority to think critically instead of obey orders, and do important original work.
Where I live, it's already gobs cheaper. I live in Shizuoka prefecture in Japan. We get about 2200 hours of sunshine a year at a latitude of about 35N. I pay the equivalent of about 35 cents per kWh for electricity from the local power station (hey, they turned off all the nuclear power stations and the only fuel we have is gas from Russia).

You can buy solar panels in any electronics store. If you go to the mall, you will run into billboards and displays and salespeople wanting to sell you solar panels. Already, if I walk down the street at least 30% of the houses have solar panels. Lately virtually every single apartment building has put solar panels on the roof. All the farmers are putting up vast solar arrays because they can make more money doing that than growing food (which worries me quite a lot... food security is pretty important for a chain of islands off the coast of China).

I'm really curious to see how this affects pricing going forward.
So this originated from a defense of sci fi, and appears to talk about low quality. But if you think about it, this law is really a tataulogy, and is less judgmental than it sounds. It's a statement that in any category to which one applies a metric, there will be a ranking, and thus a top 10% will always exist. It is drawing an arbitrary line at 90/10, and that arbitrary line can be drawn for any category that exists - there is no wrong choice. There is always a top 10%. The line can be drawn somewhere else, at 75/25, or 99/1, it really doesn't matter if you reflect on the idea that there's always a best under any metric, and always a large set under the same metric that you can and should ignore for the purposes of determining what is "good".

It saddens me to hear you say this as a developer, a builder, an engineer of our technological future and infrastructure.

It falls on Developers - moreso than any other group - to be aware of the dangers the work they perform produces and for whom their work benefits. They must all be aware of the abuses of our basic rights and human dignity modern Private Enterprise engage in.

When these same Enterprises pull developers from a system (or systems) that value our individual rights to one that tramples all over them... it angers me. It begins to limit the Philosophically, user-empowering, alternatives we have. When developers rejoice over the actions of an abusive Enterprise, it disheartens me. It feels like the bigger picture is somehow being missed.

To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: 'Those who give up their freedoms for temporary ease of use deserve neither and will lose both.'

I do not mean this to sound harsh. You can both work within the current technological framework (as we all do) and, at the same time, rail against a future that runs counter to our core beliefs. It's ok to do both. It's ok to work within a Microsoft-produced framework and at the same time let them know that some of what they're doing is counter to your belief system as a private, law-abiding individual.

What we must not do is defend the Police State we're currently building. It runs counter to everything we hold dear as a democratic and free society. Counter to the best kind of future we can envision for ourselves and future generations.

The chasm between the 'haves'' and the 'have-nots'* is only getting wider. The very concept of a fair society where all men are created equal diminishes. Enterprise OSes produced by Microsoft, for example, have privacy-enabled features the common man does not have access to. The common man - you and I - are now constant targets whereas Corporations, those in Government, those in law enforcement and many others accustomed to living above the law continue live under a different set of rules. This is the emerging new standard.

China will soon get a special build of Windows 10 without telemetry, without "phoning home". I am certain that this special build will contain the same kind of malware and abusive spyware that benefits the Chinese Government over it's own citizens. So... we, possibly have, an American software company building and deploying tools for repressive regimes. Yet we have become so complacent, there isn't even a discussion about it. That's how bad things have gotten.

We shouldn't pretend that this philosophical disconnect is not the biggest change in development. It is essentially the only real difference between Operating Systems/Working Frameworks. As good people... I'm saying that we should never, ever defend it, accept it and be complacent about it.

Money is a social contract. Its core intention is to formalise the exchange of promises fundamentally based on trust. I trust you to honour your promise to me, thats why I accept this pile of colourful paper tokens for my precious cow.

Society, as we are used to, is dependant on this contract being honoured.

This system is currently so heavily laden with trust-sapping parasites that the host is verging on collapse.

Well, there's 2 kinds of filtering, malware from viewing an ad, and malware from clicking an ad. At least we should be permanently blocking ad networks that fall for the first kind of hack.

A whitelist of the top 100 ad networks that haven't let through malware in the past year, if you want to be on the list, submit your code for auditing.

Easy way to get on the list: Only let people create pure text or graphic ads, no code.

Just don't use crap solder, actually... There are some good lead free solders available on the market now. Nihon Superior SN100C, for example.

The biggest problem I see with hand soldering is people not using enough flux (get a no-clean flux pen, they're amazing) and then just blaming the solder when they can't get it to flow... Reflow will do similar if you let the flux dry out (keep it in the fridge - I often put it in a zip-lock bag to try and really keep moisture out also).

You might be able to get a job, but many places won't hire you without a degree. What this study shows is people who are at least partially self-taught, but if you look at the number here, it looks like at least 60-70% posses some sort of related degree.

I would not go into details about all the false claims of this comment. There are plenty in the replies.

Then raft locks until you do again. We live in the era of on demand infrastructure. With even just 3 replicas and some reasonable automation it's extremely unlikely you'll see any unavailability. Or run 5 way across two different systems (ie 3 at google, 2 at AWS). That setup is less than $100/month to run now.

You seem extremely concerned about a fault tolerant system experiencing more faults than the majority, which I think is quite easily dealt with, and utterly blithe about making inconsistency your best case.

At this kind of request rate I'd honestly just shove things in postgres and call it good. There's just no reason to build out a bunch of CRDT complexity when you don't _need_ it.

Not sure he actually did though, he gave huge sums of money to the upper class. We'd need to see a report that actually said more went to the middle / lower than the upper, and somehow I very much doubt that occurred. Though, of course, that also explains how he got away with it.

To me it's a simple question: Do you want employees performing to their best? If the answer is yes, and the way to do that is having them come in at 10 am rather than 7, that costs you literally nothing. Let them set a schedule that works for them. Now if they work "best" with a corner office on the 10th floor and shag carpeting, ok, we probably can't do that but in such case where it costs the business nothing as it is when it comes to which particular block of 8 hours you come in for a day, who cares? Let people choose what works best for them.
I've seen these sorts of shenanigans happen at a public university, where they already know whom they want to hire, and even create a new position specifically for them, but are required to post the job opening to their public-facing jobs website, and are forced to interview at least X number of the people whom apply.

Actually some part of the world is: the one set around the nigh life. I have people around me that live like you, by social design: musicians, bar tenders, events makers. If you want to live this life, then you better be wired for it.

I'm not, and when I try to follow them, I end up destroyed for a week.

One of my previous flatmate is. He stopped for a while and his social circle reduced a lot (while getting closer to me). Mostly, he misses the sex.

Yes, it's way easier to have sex (quantity wise) when you go out 3 times a week as he used to do. And you need to come back late as well, if you want to find a partner, you won't bring him or her at home at 10pm.
Then you would still get tracked. Half the point of adblockers is prevent the ad networks from tracking you.

The implication is subjective.

The title said "A" Vegetarian diet.
It never referenced whom, what gender or the scope of the study, so in a literal sense, the title wasnt misleading at all.

I took the implication "A" Vegetarian diet, as in any or all contexts with in a long time period.
Here's a quote from that article:

Icelandic MP’s received a lot of no-strings-attached free money from the banks and the key players in the banking bubble and ensuing collapse are not the same as the people who are being convicted for fraud or insider trading.
xbmcuser is talking about tradition of vegetarianism due to faith, which does not linearly increase meat consumption in certain groups. Actually the traditionally vegetarian groups tended to be economically above average in India.
Quoting my grandparent comment:

> In the end, though, this should be left to the authors will, to decide whether or not it is moral to say what he says. Because when state is involved the slightest, it can be involved more. Who decides what incites violence?

So to this I agree:

> Actually, it is. Freedom of speech can't be whatever seems civil to each person, it's a binary issue. Either you have it or you don't.

What I say is, the individuals should be considerate when using their freedom to speech. Freedoms bear responsabilities. One cannot say anything and go by. If what you say is lies, or pure insults, or if it's provocative, there will be consequences, or else it conflicts with the right to human dignity of the one(s) at the receiving end of your speech. One should be responsible and mindful of what he says.

One of the things that excited me most about this is the ability to ssh. I have a feeling that is going to be incredibly useful instead of having to use PuTTY or some other client.

Canadian banks have generally been much more regulated than US ones. Through the 90s and early 2000s they constantly complained about too much government regulation getting in the way of their profits etc. - they seem to have shut up about that since 2008.
Greece's debt was sustainable until the financial crisis.

However, when they joined the EU, many of their indigenous industries weren't competitive with other nations', so they 'specialized' in tourism. This brought in lots of income, but after the financial crisis, the tourists dried up, leaving them with a massive deficit. And of course, their debt ratio went up because of the contraction in revenues.

This is why Greece feels betrayed - they were spending more or less on par with other European nations prior to the financial crisis, but they were basically screwed by the cabal of European politicians and banks, who imposed absurd, punitive measures (which shrank the economy) in exchange for a 'bailout' (which was essentially more debt, on unfavourable terms).

Anyone reading this and being in the same boat, intending to get a degree. Please do yourself a favor and consider getting a degree in Physics, EE, Math, ..., and do some CS on the side. Sure CS might be easier, but you pass up the chance to widen your horizon.

EDIT: many will only study once; why not study something new? Even if tuition is free, why have someone teach you topics you might already be very familiar with? I'm not saying you won't learn anything new in CS. You very much will learn something new. But if you choose a related field with little to no exposure yet, you will learn so much more.
I agree thats a bit over the top.
