Awesome. Seems everyone is doing some sort of variation on this. I did something similar at the Launch Hackathon (http://devpost.com/software/sim) where the first use case is meeting scheduling. I'm currently trying to wrap up the website so people can start poking at it and then get the SDK going.

Looks awesome though good job!
Well, I don't know why people are down voting in particular.

But exercising "scientific" skepticism would involve citing real (i.e. primary) sources, not blog posts that don't seem to be able to cite properly either. Otherwise it's just skepticism.

Depending what you open, powershell.exe should open as fast as cmd.exe pretty much, the ISE can take a few seconds to load based on the addons you have and how many PS cmdlets you have registered on your system.

As people have mentioned the biggest factor here is probably your hard drive since you are loading maybe couple of 100's of small files when you load the ISE.

I haven't read through the paper in enough detail to see if the actual model used is mentioned, but I did see that they use CCSM forcings.

I'm not who you asked, but because I like to spend my day debugging my terrible code, not my desktop.

Before you ask, yes I do have a Linux laptop (Acer C720P ChromeBook, unlocked with Debian + Gnome), and with all the sudden issues that pop out of seemingly nowhere (my latest dragon is a recurrent kernel module crash that can fill my disk up with .core files in 10 minutes), I've switched back to a 13" rMBP. Though, I have heard that 2016 is going to be the year of the Linux Desktop...

> We also made a change based on the experience of having to pass CAPTCHAs ourselves that treated all Tor exit IPs as part of a cluster, so if you passed a CAPTCHA for one you wouldn’t have to pass one again if your circuit changed.

I don't get how this is different than a super cookie. Anyway, I think globally that's a well balance reaction to the TOR issue.
It seems pretty constant to me. It has always meant a user-facing program that's largely self-contained. It's not synonymous with "program," but since this story is about converting stuff for the Windows Store, I think it's being used correctly here.
Thanks, I've checked it and changed it!
The way I've found to reframe that conversation:

For some reason I chose for that person to cut me off in traffic. What message am I trying to send to myself? Or maybe by being cut off now, I prevented myself from being in a fatal accident a few minutes down the road...

The other thing I find liberating about this platform is that you give yourself permission to always take responsibility for things. Someone is angry at you for something? No problem, sorry, my fault, I'll try and do better.

If all they needed was to be heard/acknowledged/an apology, you're all good. I can't tell you how many situations are smoothed over with this one. And if they need more, you're in charge of deciding whether or not to offer it or to do something else.

Very glad to see this come up on here!
That is great news, thanks!
The American right is really a coalition of several different factions, and it can be chipped apart on certain issues. We see that today, with religious conservatives proposing state laws to discriminate against gay and transgender people, but many big businesses opposing those laws.

Maybe we could make progress more quickly on fighting climate change if we simply bought off businesses. Implement a carbon tax that replaces business income tax and results in a net lower tax burden on businesses (from day one), and I bet a lot of opposition funding would dry up.

It would be very expensive... but compare to the cost of protecting or moving all our coastal cities and communities.

Maybe one reason climate change has become a cultural/political issue is that the people who understand the issue best and have worked on it the hardest, tend to also be people who are suspicious of businesses in general. They resist anything that looks like a corporate giveaway, and prefer a regulatory, government-led approach. As a result, "freedom first" libertarian types have lined up with big businesses in opposition.

I won't pretend that I've thought through the details deeply--take this as a musing more than an actual proposal.

If your interviewer really dings you for the appearance of your scrawled code on the wall, they're being self-defeatingly stupid and you'd probably be happier working with other people.

I do lots of tech interviews, and I always make it clear that I don't care how pretty the ink looks. I stick with the whiteboard because it's the best way for candidates to explain their analyses and algorithms before they write the code.
I'm also not him, but I switched to OS X for a while, too. I couldn't afford a MacBook, so I actually ran a Hackintosh.

The reasons were 1) it ran the unixy stuff I needed for university AND modern games at the same time, and 2) it was boring and conservative. In a time where Linux and Windows were changing and breaking (Windows 8, Gnome 3, ...) it was nice to use something stable, well-tested, and polished.

After first datum (there are two children):

Presuming A and B to be independent events
(first child is a girl, second child is a girl)
P(A) = 1 - P(!A) = 1/2
P(B) = 1 - P(!B) = 1/2

P(A and B) = P(B|A) * P(A) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
P(A and !B) = P(!B|A) * P(A) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
P(!A and B) = P(B|!A) * P(!A) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
P(!A and !B) = P(!B|!A) * P(!A) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

Good so far.

But the probability later on depends on how you find out that at least one of your friend's children is a girl. If your friend tells you a random fact about her whole family, the probability is 1/3. If she tells you a fact about a randomly chosen child, the probability is 1/2.

You can presume from "they're not both boys" that the statement is equivalent to "there is at least one girl". When she tells you the name, you now know "a specific child of mine is a girl".

"Not both boys" gives you the precondition "!(!A & !B)" which equates to "A or B".

P(A or B) = P(A and B) + P(A and !B) + P(!A and B) = 3/4
P(A and B|A or B) = P(A or B|A and B) * P(A and B) / P(A or B) = 1 * 1/4 / 3/4 = 1/3

"Mary is a girl" gives you either the precondition "A" or the precondition "B"

P(A and B|A) = P(A|A and B) * P(A and B) / P(A) = 1 * 1/4 / 1/2 = 1/2
P(A and B|B) = P(B|A and B) * P(A and B) / P(B) = 1 * 1/4 / 1/2 = 1/2

These are both the same number, so that works out fine.
I highly recommend it! It's making my life easier in the office.

If you look at the time scales we are looking at, it becomes more understandable.

For example, this article that describes the runaway rising of sea level predicts that "Antarctica has the potential to contribute more than a metre of sea-level rise by 2100 and more than 15 metres by 2500."

We are dead by 2100 when the sea level is up one meter. It's the future generations who suffer.

(2) Re: exabrial's comment above, where do you think culture fit should be evaluated in the process? Lots of interview processes today deal with culture fit at the end, but should it be item 1 and then coding skill item 2?

If excess energy consumption is a 'vice', we would be following Malthus's prediction of a vice-based catastrophe before a food based 'Malthusian' catastrophe:

"The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation. They are the precursors in the great army of destruction, and often finish the dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination, sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague advance in terrific array, and sweep off their thousands and tens of thousands. Should success be still incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty blow levels the population with the food of the world."

Just like yeast die of alcohol (pollution) poisoning during fermentation before their food source is anywhere near depleted, we might have plenty of food but not do so hot. If yeast could only slow their reproduction they might last for a darn good while in the brew...but luckily they destroy themselves! Otherwise beer would be too slow, and that's unacceptable.
Indeed.

As a child living in a mountain town in NH I had no idea financial aid existed. I was always told by my parents that I would never go to college because they couldn't afford it. I believed them until a guidance counselor called a meeting with my parents where he laid out all the options. by then my GPA was quite poor due to not doing the work (it was always trivial to past tests w/o doing the homework, so why bother with it), so top tier was out.

And, it doesn't matter. You get the education that you want, for the most part. I did independent study when a class wasn't offered, as did my friends. I'm sure there are substandard colleges (I've interviewed people that just weren't prepared for the field, and digging into their classwork showed why) but in general it holds.

Go to the local gas station, talk to the clerk, and you very well be encountering an IQ that exceeds yours by a standard deviation or two. I was almost that clerk until that guidance counselor gave me a different future. And I know people from high school that are that clerk, and have formidable minds.

Top school doesn't mean too much at all. Yes, kids who get themselves there by their bootstraps are to be admired. But the amount of support given to many there makes it pretty easy to get in at least one school. I never once had help with my homework from my parents - they couldn't do it if they tried (and, they didn't try). I went to school hungry, and didn't eat breakfast or lunch - no money for it. Last time I ate before/in school was 5th grade. I shivered all day because they kept the heat low and i didn't have sweaters to wear. I wasn't allowed to do extracurricular activities for reasons. And so on. That all says 0 about what I can do, know, think, feel, accomplish, except to the extent it taught me not to be held back by challenges. It says nothing negative about me, except that I was pretty unworldly when I entered the world at age 18. I changed that soon enough.

I just snort, internally, when somebody feels the need to name drop where they graduated from. Means almost nothing. Did you do interesting research or something there? That means something. Did you learn and grow? That means something. Did you face hardship and learn those life skills? Etc. All that matters, not the name.

That's also the definition of "getting better".
And yet, with the record levels of climate emissions, billions of people are living longer and healthier due to cheaper energy costs that keep them warm and fed at low cost.

Why is the global world living longer despite its ever increasing usage of fossil fuels? Just to take one example, China's life expectancy has grown increasingly despite having record levels of pollution. You would think that more and more people would die as fossil fuels increase. Something doesn't connect here. Care to explain the conundrum for me?

ISIS having their hands on a nuke would be catastrophic.

"More robust" -- in what way? From what I've seen they are very robust.
Accounting for environmental damage is important, but if you calculate the subsidies like that, it isn't just the energy industry that gets subsidized (as would largely be the case with renewables), it's the consumers using the energy (they receive most of such subsidies).

So just to be clear: The $5.3 trillion is arrived at by counting untaxed environmental harm as a subsidy. Which I think it is interesting to consider the damage, but I don't think that is what people are going to think when they think energy subsidy.
> I will say, at least for me, Spotify's "Discover Weekly" which is refreshed Sunday nights is amazing. I've saved at least 2 songs from it every week, and most weeks more than 2.

Rdio basically had a feature that created an "Rdio" station from what they called your "heavy rotation". It featured songs by artists that were similar.

To me, it was the equivalent of "Discover Weekly", except available at any time instead of once a week.

Yep! I have been interviewing for fun for the last few years (averaging maybe one or two interviews every few months), and I've seen all kinds of stuff. Way too many whiteboards. In fact, even after all these years, whiteboards still make me nervous, and basically makes it impossible to get into flow, or have a reasonably nice mindset for solving problems. And if I do this for fun, you can bet that people who depend on those interviews for their livelihood aren't feeling much better. I think it's a really stupid way to interview. Anyways, I agree with you: The best and funnest interviews -- and therefore the interviews I feel most comfortable (and therefore able to really show what I know) -- are the pair programming interviews. You build a special rapport with a single developer on the team, who gets a really good idea of the kind of coder you are. It's like a nice, calm conversation about technology.
Nah, but it helps against getting fooled while we wait for them to either stop trying to fool me (not sure about this) or put their money where their mouth is.
