Your current spot is fuct. I'm looking for coders. I'm an asshole too. I show up at 7am, leave at 7pm and expect you to be available at least 35h/wk. Don't worry about public transit cause you can work from home. There are 100s of other employers like me out there in case I'm too crazy/stupid.

In short. F that place, your "leader" is clearly not one.
I am not sure Google are still making the Pixel 2 and if they were I don't think they sell it in my country. There could be drama if I use a freight forwarder then need warranty service. Otherwise an LS would probably do me.

The Surface Book looks very good. I have stopped laughing at the Surface line of products. If I wasn't so attached to unixy tools and environment I might be tempted. They are a bit pricey here and likely a big risk as far as linux driver support. Apple and Android tablets have also avoided 16:9 though don't enter consideration. Not sure what I could do with a Pixel C or iPad Pro apart from playing Minecraft PE.

You have to wonder what all the laptop makers know that Google, Apple and Microsoft don't. They still insist on putting shiny widescreen television panels in laptops.

I mostly use my chromebook as intended - all chrome apps, even though I have crouton installed. It is quite nice for what it is. I would prefer something more powerful for a daily driver and I think the fact people are looking at linux on chromebooks has a lot to do with the failures of manufacturers to produce what many customers want.
Having done a variety of data analysis and computational modeling while working as a PhD physics student and postdoc, I can attest that many of my colleagues wrote terrible code.

The problem wasn't that their code didn't have a nice user interface, or wasn't designed for reuse. The problem was that it was often impossible to really know whether it worked correctly or not.

In my experience, whether the code you're writing is going to run once or go into production, it needs to testable and understandable - enough that you have confidence that it does what you think it's doing. And that means building it in small enough pieces to analyze. Otherwise you just don't know.

>If I make a bad game and people buy it they're not going to buy my next game so that problem is solved.

"one bite at the apple" eh?

There are a lot of small companies in America, and a lot of people do businesses under different names. "Was an officer of the company I'm about to buy from involved in shady dealings in the past" is one of those things I'd love to have my consumer research firm research, but it's not something that comes in to play as much as you think, I think. A lot of the games are written by first-timers, or people who's first try flopped because nobody played it (which is similar as to the informational content you are talking about)
OP here. Sadly, true. The sad thing is that LinkedIn has the potential to truly help its members grow their careers. Instead it is distracted by building the next Salesforce tool.

School District policies and (ultimately) curriculum are driven by public opinion. How can a public demand better if they are not able to understand the issue?
Basic income is not a complete solution. It is a start. We'd still need ways to motivate people. I think basic income would be great. We could have smaller class sizes in our elementary schools. I'd like to imagine some people volunteering to take care of kids for a few hours after school because they don't have to worry about starving for not making any money.

In short, I think people will do useful work if we just give them the ability to do so. We'd still need schools and such (preferably at no cost to the students) but I think not having to worry about starving would be great for humanity as a whole.
I think for a lot of people it's trial and error. When I was researching, I went through a list of local therapists, reading their descriptions and website, and eventually narrowed the list down to 3-4. I then set up a session with all of them, and then made my decision. Worked for me.
Awesome. If anyone knows about this project - how easy would would it be to re-target the backend code generator for something other than x86 or ARM?
Considering how many are a readout, I'm imagining they're read-only and are a shortcut on some other desktop to check the temperature and pressure of their gizmos.

Honestly, read-only public makes sense for that. What do I care if somebody can see the position of my overhead crane?

FYI: Websites like this have actually existed since late 2013 when Paul McMillan scanned the Internet for VNC images live during his talk and made the results available via a website in real-time. He did it again in 2014 at Defcon together with Dan Tentler and Rob Graham. Later that year people at CCC released a VNC roulette and they did the same again in 2015. And Shodan has been grabbing VNC images as well since 2014, made available at https://images.shodan.io

> Panentheism exists in Narnia. Not only is it a land overflowing with natural beauty, but its talking trees, talking beasts, fauns and centaurs are on par with its humans. It is easier to sense the divine in animals and trees that can converse with you. The landscape is stunning: the crystal-like purity of the winter snow, the deep blue of the sea, the panorama of mountains and valleys and forests spread beneath you when you are up in the sky astride a flying horse.

'Pantheism' is the belief that everything is God. C.S. Lewis was an outspoken Theist. He believed there was a clear separation between the creator and the creation. The creation simply reflects the beauty of God. If I had to explain it I would say it's like the relationship between Johny Ives and the iPhone. An iPhone is beautiful because it was designed by a master, not because the iPhone is actually Sir Johnathan Ives in disguise.

C.S. Lewis did not intend for his books to be read through a Hindu worldview. I can't imagine he would intentionally create a pantheistic world. Does that make this interpretation meaningless?
It's a nice thought, but I suspect it to work as well as "safe electrical circuits" day would. The internet security equivalent is that companies are selling completely unsafe circuitry with live wires exposed, and we should mount an education campaign to teach people how to cover up the live wires. I suspect once the hardware/software industry matures, we'll see insurance companies become involved and there will be strict regulation around what is and is not safe.
Resources are an illusion that requires your consent to maintain. That armed force is getting paid with money that people have to agree to accept for it to be worth anything. Alternatively, that armed force could enslave the people at gunpoint, but that's pretty hard to sustain in the vast majority of the world.

This might sound crazy, but we just haven't had the technology to implement this sort of system until recently. It requires a decentralized ledger of all payments, which is a pretty new thing. Now that we have it, you can decide to only accept money that has been traded by people who follow your rules. If the people choose to do so, they can make it impossible to be subjugated by money.

My email's in my profile. Open to talking about this any time. I know it sounds crazy, but I truly believe that this new capability we have can be used to liberate people.
That's because people don't understand how books are made.

They were printed on a long paper then folded onto itself which creates the pages and then stitched in the middle, the folds are then are cut on the sides to free the pages.

Books today are usually precut and then glued, I did however encounter a few books with the odd uncut page usually texts books.

Other than that page turners were and are used for high value books and in some cases sacred books to avoid damage (or if touching the book is taboo) Jewish synagogues for example use a "pointer" to read from the scroll it self because those scrolls are usually to valuable to touch.

LinkedIn went through phases every 18 months or so of switching schizophrenically between "Our problem is lack of engagement, we need new features to entice our userbase to come back on a daily basis" and "Our problem is lack of focus, we are going to kill a bunch of features and return to our core competency".

Nothing ever shipped to break that cycle.
Not really. The widow of the couple that bought the lease collected it 2 years after her husbands death.
Generally when you prepare a value for serialization. In my ~8 years of Ruby I've only used !! a few times. I think all those times had to do with configuration and/or serialization. For example:

```

my_option = !!ENV[MY_OPTION] # is false when not set
puts "my_option is: #{my_option}"

I think the "paid version" you saw is actually a competitor.
My experience mirrors yours almost exactly. I don't remember the story all that clearly any more (probably because I didn't end up reading a a work analyzing it, but I vaguely remember it being weird towards the end. When the movies came out and people were commenting how it was very heavily Christian, I was somewhat surprised, not having caught that when I read it while younger.

I'm not Jewish though. I was raised rather Agnostically, but relatives are Protestant, and I guess my Parents are? I've only been to Church three or four times for service, twice of those in Sunday school because I was young, and all because we were visiting relatives. Interestingly, it wasn't until I was 16 or 17 that I can recall asking my dad if he believed in God, and when he responded "probably", I was genuinely surprised. I had assumed he was Atheist, as I was and am. Religion was such a non-existent part of my upbringing that I didn't know my parents beliefs (I later found out my Mother used to teach Sunday school before I was born). I did go to a Protestant preschool, but when young that indoctrination wears off pretty quickly without reinforcement.

My own children occasionally ask me about God or Jesus (the younger ones went to a preschool based at a Methodist church because it's a good preschool). When asked a general question, I'll say "some people believe that" and explain a belief to the best of my ability. If asked my own opinion on it I'll tell them I don't believe, but it's up to them to make their own choice.

Interesting, like 'rashkov' that's much higher than I would have guessed. It does look authoritative, although part of the disparity may be that the "administrative" estimates of wealth are much less than other presumably more accurate measures.

This paper gives a more up to date chart on P. 62 in Table C.3: http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/feds/2015/files/20...

Table C.3. Net Worth Fractile Thresholds (Thousands $)
SCF Bulletin Wealth, HHDs
1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 2004 2007 2010 2013
90th Percentile 364 357 381 494 740 834 910 953 942
99th Percentile 2,251 2,318 2,460 3,793 5,787 6,356 8,360 6,815 8,155
99.9th Percentile 9,703 9,207 13,898 15,346 20,338 25,109 30,826 27,488 30,894

I chose the top line for each percentile, which gives the highest figures, but it's possible that one of the "adjusted" numbers is more appropriate. It's interesting to me that over the time period from 1989 to 2013, the 90th, 99th, and 99.9th percentiles have all basically tripled.

The summary, in case the chart is hard to read, is that for 2013, the 90th percentile threshold for household wealth is about 1 million dollars, the 99th is about 8 million, and the 99.9th is about 30 million. The adjusted estimates (see the paper) are generally 10-30% lower.
The Amiga was a beautiful machine, and had a beautiful OS in many regards. No memory protection, but the concepts were just wonderful compared to PC stuff at the time: flat memory model, everything was a linked list (there were very few hard limits, except physical ones), true multi-tasking, ARexx later on, what great stuff.

I miss it; nothing today matches the freedom, flexibility and simplicity of that platform (IMHO).
I had briefly looked them over. There's always room for incremental progress, and a Lisp like Clojure even tackles the issue of syntactic transformation in a mic-dropping fashion. Yet it still can't address other problems I mentioned with the platform.

In general, none of my objections are insurmountable - any specific issue will have an obvious solution, as one would expect in a Turing-complete language. But this is what makes the tar pit so insidious, as you pay the mental overhead of workarounds every time you need to cross the abstraction barrier.
On a pragmatic note: leave your phone(alarm) on the opposite side of your bedroom or in another room altogether. You will have to physically get up to shut it off and benefit from not using it(and more importantly, thinking about email, work, social network junk, etc...) right before bed and again when you wake up in the am.

“Handling tears” appears, with a blank space underneath for trainees to take down Buckley’s dictation. “Don’t stop,” Schneider wrote in her notes. “Tears are the beginning of a confession. Use congratulatory statement—‘Glad to see those tears, because it tells me that you’re sorry, aren’t you?’

Nice, beautiful. First lie to them, scare them, suggest they were guilty, then watch them cry and then use that against them.

You expand on themes that trigger the right response. It can take minutes or hours. You might even lie: “Why were your fingerprints found on that gun?”

I guess it is worth repeating ad nauseam don't talk to the police or agree to be go to the station "just to chat". I guess the advice is to teach students that school administrators are hostle just like police, and never talk to them and/or familiarize them to counter-act the Reid technique so they identify and are aware of what is happening.

To expand on the last point, it is worth pointing out that just like the polygraph, this Reid technique also becomes an Achilles Heel against a more prepared subject. For example, I remember reading about Aldrich Ames, a high level CIA employee was giving information to the Soviets during the Cold War. He passed several routine polygraph tests while doing so. The reason was because he was trained to do so by his handlers, and also because examiners believed polygraph is a reliable tool. If subject passes such an advanced test, they can't be lying.

Likewise, a good criminal (well, ok, a good criminal will never find themselves caught), but still, they could learn the idea behind the Reid thing and understand what is being done. Go through the whole process, and then at the end the investigators would be convinced "well, we used our advanced technique on him, he didn't confess, he must not be guilty" and so on.

Each character is a 16*16 dot matrix encoded by the 16-bit integer. Old systems (from the beginning of IBM compatibles until early 1990-ish) had hardware accelerators if they wanted to use multiple fonts, IIRC one of the few breakthrough products made by Lenovo.

"Given that you have that information, it's rather disappointing that you chose to assert that this problem was being "ignor[ed] because it's not a fad yet"."

This is one case among many. I counter it here all the time. There's literally dozens of works, including certification requirements, on securing this aspect of things. Yet, people have ignored all that from academia to industry every time we bring it up. Then, there's two things that pop up in every online discussion: Thompson attack or (recently) reproducible builds. Literally the smallest aspects of the problem with trusted distribution covered under old criteria. Why does that matter now but not before? It's a social phenomenon.

In 70's-80's, people designed, assured, and pentested guards with great results. Firewalls were a watered down version that came later with features but not assurance. Push guards on firewall proponents, even developers, then you'll just get ignored. They will work on whatever is making rounds on favorite IT or INFOSEC sites, though.

Compiler and OS people. They usually write their stuff in a monolithic style in C despite decades of bad results that way. Showing even one person (Edison), three (Lilith/Oberon), or handful (MINIX 3) can do entire system safer with less people and time will not change this. Showing them ML or something with C compilation for portability will not change this. They systematically reject this while doing whatever is their tradition or becomes in the vogue.

People making secure messaging apps have solid code and endpoint OS's to draw on. They rarely use them. They often use whatever most projects use or roll their own because it's fun. This is true even when shown risks, zero days, or benefits of alternatives.

All of these are social phenomenon that have nothing to do with technical difficulty. If anything, they're doing things that are harder to avoid the more robust option. This is systemic in our industry in compilers, OS's, and certain types of libraries. It's not about what a random Korean or Greek speaking programmer tackling a random project won't do. It's about the fact that almost all compiler-related work is ignoring the ways it got done robustly and more easily before. Same with SCM. There's exceptions, especially in functional, but the rule supports my point.

Most likely explanation for them chasing the same senseless stuff in mass even when shown evidence to the contrary... stuff that's easier... is that they chase fads for social reasons.
I am curious how much he knew about the film before the controversy blew up - is it possible that he didn't recognise Andrew Wakefield's name, or hadn't watched the movie and just thought 'a movie about autism! Great!'?

I just started Zoloft, 10mg, 4 months ago. I was desperate, I just wanted to be happy for Christmas for once, for my children's sake and it brought me back.

(brought me back: ability to smile and laugh. Ability to find amusement watching television [even my wife's shows], ability to think at work. No longer staring out my window wishing everything would end)

I have not put in the work to find a talk therapist, I really think I'm ready to do that now, I'm going to follow up on Monday and find someone.

I'll give it a shot. I've been getting out of bed at 4-5 am for the past 5 months when I have no need to other than to accomplish more personal stuff.

1. If you need to get up early for work, leave a good handle on it the night before. Like leave detailed notes on how to accomplish the next step or steps. Detailed enough that your first half hour to hour will be brainless peace and harmony.

2. Leave an exciting reveal for the morning. Say you finished building a cool new feature. Don't try it out until you wake up. I like to leave a 3D image or animation rendering overnight.

3. If possible change your schedule so that the early morning can just be full of fun stuff.

4. Plan to lay in bed for about an hour before you fall asleep. Incentivize it with a bedtime-only iPad or a pile of good books for bedtime only.

5. Lay out your clothes for the morning, the night before.

6. Do not get out of bed cold unless you find that invigorating. I bought 5 long-sleeve cotton shirts and sleep in those and some comfy pants and short socks. If I get hot, I use fewer blankets. I also keep a coat ready to put on.

7. Make breakfast or a cup of tea/water beforehand.

8. Make a fun routine. I bought a nice radio for early morning use. It picks up stations far away and I listen to it while I work.

9. Plan to take a nap later whenever needed. Schedule in the downtime.

10. Lay out a plan for your entire tomorrow. I do a mind map on paper. With this done the evening before, there should be nothing left to avoid thinking about in the morning, making it easier to consider getting out of bed.

Edit: And yes, it will change your life and people will wonder how you do it. Also I consider this practice a great burnout-prevention tool if you can keep work out of it (or out of the rest of your day).
