The thing is, it partly depends on how you feel about societal well-being in general. If you believe these folks are valuable contributors to society, then you should naturally also believe it's important to help them continue doing so in ways that are not hazardous to their health, demeaning, or cause societal breakdowns (homelessness, drug abuse, child endangerment, etc).

If you don't believe they're valuable contributors, I challenge you to describe how any high-CoL metro would successfully function without blue collar service workers.
> and that's why Trump is wrong to say that Mexican immigrants are criminals who should all be deported

Which is not what Trump said by the way. As I mentioned in another post I don't support Trump (and neither am I even able to vote in US elections) and I have no horse in this race, but if you're going to criticise him, at least do it for things he said, not for exaggerations of what you think he said.

> Whoever did this is personally threatening students on campus

No, what happened was entirely impersonal, and not threatening in any way unless you perform a large amount of mental and linguistic gymnastics.

When you fire a gun at someone, your goal is to kill them. If you're confronting an armed subject and you manage only to wound them, then not only are you making it possible for the to shoot you back, but you're making it overwhelmingly likely that they will --- who could blame them for trying desperately to save their own lives?

So to me, 1 bullet, 20 bullets, 40 bullets, who cares? Dead is dead. If you don't want police shooting people by mistake, disarm the police.

My attitude towards this might be different from a lot of other nerds. In my experience, nerds tend to be firearms enthusiasts. I hate guns.
The word 'xenophobia' literally means fear of strangers. But apparently it applies only if those strangers are Syrian illegals and not when they're white techies. It's unfortunate that the media is stoking this phenomenon. Strangely enough, here a British newspaper is concerned about the supposed invasion of a city half a world across from Britain.
I have tried a few tools for to-do lists, but settled on 3 folders in my inbox: ACTION, READ & WANT.

I created some rules: subject beginning TODO goes to ACTION, subject beginning READ goes to READ, subject beginning WANT goes to WANT folder. This means I can add to any list just by sending a mail to myself.

I created additional rules so all emails from credit card companies, banks, accountant and other important senders goes straight into ACTION folder.

I try and ensure all unread items are dealt with daily. If I set it to read, it becomes non-urgent.
I think you're taking it too seriously. This criticism is a good think for npm. Too much cheerleading inevitably leads to lower quality in most communities. I assume people are not going to quit using npm anyway (although I don't use it myself).

You're confusing expertise with success. Deliberate practice will make you a better writer. But you can be an expert writer without having success at making money or getting attention for it.

If there are more writers than there are slots for successful writing careers in the world, things like connections and luck are the type of thing that put you ahead in the competition for those careers. The best writers don't automatically get those careers.
Microsoft shuts down Tay on Twitter after it learns to be racist
Face it . If you are not white in US , you stand to loose your life with white trash with loose guns.
Other people said he seemed agitated and nervous when their dogs were walking about by him. I imagine if a dog just charged at you and was barking/howling while its owner was staring at someone's ass, you'd be on edge for a bit as well.

While I agree that the current state of knowledge is that the pay gap is much smaller but existent (the report you link cites 4.8% to 7.1%) after adjusting for job placement etc., it's absolutely a matter of politics and not data that "there may be nothing to correct" and this is the result of "individual choices". If well-qualified women have a harder time being respected and selected for promotions than equally-qualified men, you'll see an effect like this. If well-qualified women know that it's not worth their time to compete against equally-qualified men, you'll also see a similar effect. If couples of ambitious women and ambitious men generally end up favoring the man's career path, you'll see something that looks a lot like "individual choices," but in aggregate is really the result of gender roles.

I do, however, agree that there may be "nothing to correct" in the sense of simply giving women raises to correct the apparent wage gap. If the wage gap is a side effect of an opportunity gap or trust gap or whatever else, we should be focusing on fixing that.
I realized I was heading down that path, and just went full into. I use https://kanboard.net/ to manage a couple todo lists (projects) like upcoming purchases, bills, chores. It's worked out amazing so far.
Thanks for that. If it is even sensitive to which side of the car you're on, that implies a really short-range sensor. The potential to use a signal booster still remains, but at least there is no risk of inadvertently opening your car just because you're on the other side of a wall.

I really wish car manufacturers would not rely on security through obscurity for these systems though.
I know of a place where there's been a gun club since the 40s. There's a road called Gun Club Road. There's a housing development called Gun Club Estates or somesuch. And people who move there complain about the noise of the … gun club.

People are stupid.
As a programmer and a musician, I feel that deliberate practice is much different than the day to day practice of working.

Sitting down and playing scales / etudes / method books every day is very hard, but it's the only way to get better at a quick pace. You can't really pay attention at that level for more than 4 hours (or, rather, I and most other humans can't).

Similarly, I've made concerted efforts to refactor procedural code into functional code, and while that is very difficult conceptually (for me, maybe not you) it felt very much the same way as doing scales.

Deliberate practice is not the same as just doing work, and just doing work doesn't make you better as quickly or in the same ways as deliberately practicing.
This seems to me like some people have waaay to much time on their hands. Couldn't everything done in this report/article be inferred simply by understanding the technologies and configuration employed by the services used and the devices themselves?
"You are not born with the ability to write."

Yes you are born with that potential yes. There are many animals that can't because their genetic potential disallows such things. You're ignoring the energy metabolism and resiliency to stress of an organism that defines things like work ethic which is not under conscious control.

Having done this many times myself I can tell you to check in-advance, what tech they have and then asked what backup they have. If they don't have a backup, think of what you can bring. As for your talk, whatever it is, a narrative say, make sure you have 2 copies, 2 devices ready to serve you. Handouts. I know it sounds old-school but it is nice. Also, bring business cards to hand out. Oh and about that handout. Get some really great feeling folders to put them in. I wish you the best.
It's also reassessed if you improve it in any substantial way. My property taxes doubled after a remodel. Some of that was the remodel, but roughly half was due to prices in the neighborhood going up since my wife and I originally bought the house.

In my case we can afford these extra taxes, but I can easily imagine that in other circumstances this would be difficult. The alternative is doing work without permits, which comes with other risks.
One could use this as an example to demonstrate the methodological weaknesses of the Turing test:

Oh please. It's not engineers who propose non-maintainable products, it's the marketing and business people who make those decisions. Engineers just carry them out.

As for razors, that's a terrible example. Gillette is famous for the whole "razor and blades" marketing scheme, which obviously was invented by a business person seeking to maximize profit. Disposable razors are a bad idea all around (and they're not recyclable easily; recyclable things don't have metal and plastic merged together so they can't be separated): they perform terribly and are wasteful and cost more over time. The only thing they're good for is if you left your razor at home while traveling. I like old DE razors personally, but even a modern razor is "maintainable": you can replace the cartridge heads. You can't replace the individual blades because there's no feasible way of making a blade assembly that small, with that kind of precision, where an end-user can replace the blades individually, and besides the plastic part of the blade-holder isn't very much plastic anyway. This example is just silly; it's like claiming a car air filter is "unmaintainable" because you can't wash it out, or you can't separate the paper pleats from the plastic frame. That's just dumb. As long as the filter is fairly easily replaceable, it's OK for the filter (a consumable) as a whole to be a disposable product.

I am not arguing for things to be made so they can be easily disassembled to their smallest components.
2 micro-services should suffice for all computation:

Applying the same label to different people doesn't make them equal or equivalent.

He certainly wasn't a murderer, not even close. But he was an unusually big asshole. I, for one, do not express any serious wish to shoot people very often.

I think they never were intended as binary opposites, but as a spectrum with Introversion on one end and Extroversion on the other.

The fact that the public or the mainstream media polarize the two does not render the concepts useless.
I can tell you first hand that the neighborhood has been overrun by men like Evan Snow.

Considering you live in Chicago and that Rebecca and I actually live in Bernal Heights I think we have a much better perspective on the situation.

Where I come from you don't call the cops because you think you saw "a Mexican crazy man waving a gun around". If you see something, you leave, and you don't say anything to anyone. If you don't be a snitch then people don't get shot.

If you move from fucking Iowa and you think San Francisco is like adult Disneyland and you parade around town with your white ear buds and you're totally oblivious to reality, you might think that the SFPD is like the security guards at the mall and think you need to call them when you see some "Mexican kids hanging on the street in a pack".

The cops have fucking handguns and are very familiar with using them throughout years of gang violence in the Mission and Bernal. People who live in these neighborhoods don't look forward to having the police roll up searching for a Mexican with a handgun. Bullets fly in all directions. Completely innocent people get gunned down. Someone acting scary and just having a bad day but not hurting anyone gets gunned down. This shit happens all the time. I've been watching people get shot for no god damned reason for years and years and years.

It's similar to the misunderstanding about Knuth's optimization quote.

Regex isn't bad, regex is bad when it's used thoughtlessly (like most tools, but worse than many because it's so information-dense that errors and misapplication may be non-obvious). Use regex to recognize strings. Don't use regex to recognize grammars. (A particularly common abuse of regex.) Break your regular expressions up either visually (if your language allows it) or into multiple expressions so that they're clearer and more easily understood and changed.
Completely agree. London really needs to embrace 'up' as a viable building solution. Apparently, a lot of it has to do with some archaic laws surrounding building in London, the 'Protected Views' one is of particular note:

I think Google should continue with its self-driving effort. They have their maps and fiber technology that provide some hard-to-get pieces of the puzzle. This is the robot that will impact humanity the most. An automated box on wheels (seats optional). Just think of the things a self driving car could do for you:

- Pick up anything from mostly anywhere.

- Schedule pickup around the clock.

- Move things/people securely and be able to track the contents through a camera.

- Act as a mobile living space. Not requiring a dashboard frees up a lot of space.
I'm delighted to read that inotify will work with this. How's fs performance? Running elasticsearch or just about any compile process in a docker-machine-based container is fairly painful.
Is Docker that difficult? The Dockerfile is a nice single file that defines all container dependencies and then it's three commands (build, create, and start) to be able to easily work in the exact same environment for dev, qa, and production regardless of whether the host is running OSX or a flavour of linux.
First, most of the quotations are translations from French, and translations of poetry often don't convey the quality of the original. Second, of those first written in English, a fair number are from Merle Haggard's songs, and probably better heard than read. My suggestion if you wanted to read more poetry would be to pick up a decent anthology and read with no or neutral expectations until something catches your attention. John Hollander's Committed to Memory is or was out of print, but is not hard to buy on line. I remember Louis Zukofsky's A Test of Poetry as pretty good, though I haven't looked into it in years. NYRB has brought John Williams's anthology of English Renaissance poetry back into print.

Or you could listen to some Haggard.
The author is specifically advocating deliberate practice. In fact, it's amusing reading the article, as it seems he thinks deliberate "practice" isn't actually "doing" something productive. The article supports, in every way, deliberate practice. I mean, this says it all:

"This is compared to us developers learning to touch-type or learning the keyboard shortcuts of our IDEs."

No. Deliberate practice for programmers is not limited to just touch-typing or keyboard shortcuts. It's actively learning to use new tools and environments, learning new languages, and learning different ways to program, such as functional or object-oriented programming. It's practicing coding in ways like coding katas.

It's digging into code that isn't yours and making the software do new things, and issuing a pull request upstream.

Deliberate practice isn't just "practicing." It isn't just mechanical. It's challenging, it's hard, and it improves you.

If you think deliberate practice is just practicing mechanics, you are ignorant on the subject.
Those doing the high-paid "work" are often those abusing state granted powers to issue credit. They say to the poor "pledge more of your working life to me in exchange for the right to exist or I will banish you".

That's bad design too.

In a previous job, I generated millions of unique codes. We only used a character set without confusable characters (0 vs O), vowels, etc. Captchas should do the same.
No shit! I agree. I read the first half of the first graf of the story angry at Solnit, for singling out this guy and scare-quoting his occupation. Then I got to the bit about the dog jumping up on Nieto and the simpering excuse-making this guy made about that and I instantly got angry at the guy instead. What an asshole!

That lasted a couple minutes. But "poorly managed, barking dog jumps up on someone" happens millions of times a day, and those dogs owners are not complicit in murders.

As reported elsewhere, Solnit's story leaves out Nieto's mental illness, which is apparently severe: he appears to have been schizophrenic. We don't know what Nieto's reaction was to the dog. He could have terrified, or he could have been outraged.

A previous version of this comment suggested that Nieto had tased someone else at the park; he had not. I misread something; the taser incident I read about was unrelated to the park.
What's that, you say? I can't "unpublish" my own code? Fine then, here you go.

$ echo "function leftpad(str, len, ch) { return ""; }" > leftpad.js

There is (obviously, I would say) no possible solution to the problem of the maintainer of a module you depend on deciding to mess with you. The only serious way to even make a go of it is to move your repository to a curated model where you (in this case, the NPM owners themselves) personally vet all contributions before allowing them in, and even then, I'm confident I can slip something into my own code that will cause problems if I want to -- it's code that I wrote and I've maintained for years and that you've looked at briefly every once in a while.
This is true. One wonders if OP has actually seen the vastness of Java SE or is just "hating" to "hate".
Can someone explain in simple terms how Docker for Windows is different from Application Virtualization products like VMware ThinApp, Microsoft App-V, Spoon, Cameyo, etc? Also, why does it require Hyper-V activated in Windows 10? I found this: https://docs.docker.com/machine/overview/ but I don't understand if you need separate VMs for separate configurations or they have a containerization technology where you are able to run isolated applications on the same computer.

Fermat's Last Theorem Solved after 300 years
The days of universities being bastions of free speech and a place to challenge ideas is over. Universities are now first and foremost a businesses, and students attend almost entirely within the context of a business transaction. Money and time goes in, credentials come out. Most students don't care about anything else.

The question is: what, if anything, will take their place?
Dozens of bullets sounds excessive. Very certainly killing someone usually takes far fewer bullets.

This amount of gunfire always suggests an emotional component to me, hatred or something.

That's only very generally speaking, of course. I can imagine situations where dozens of shots are rational.

I judge Microsoft a bit for not just discontinuing Home.

Some of the missing features in Home are what I'd describe as "immoral." In that they aren't just luxuries, they're important parts of the OS or security features e.g.

- Group Policy Editor: This is the primary place to modify hundreds of local computer settings. They could have left out Domain Join, and kept the local Group Policy Editor.

- Start Screen Control with Group Policy: Adds more group policy options to modify the start screen/menu look/feel.

- Enterprise Mode Internet Explorer: Name notwithstanding, this allows people to use legacy webapps with modern IE.

- AppLocker: Security feature (isn't even in pro incidentally!). I'd turn it on.

- Bitlocker: Full drive encryption (with different decryption options).

- Credential Guard: Not used to protected non-domain credentials.

- Trusted Boot: Because home users don't get rootkits?

Windows 10 Home is categorically less secure than Windows 10 Pro, which is in turn less secure than Windows 10 Enterprise. Features like AppLocker, Credential Guard, Trusted Boot, are features that all versions of Windows could benefit from, and Bitlocker should be available and on by default.

When you have a "security" category in the feature list and are differentiating different versions of the OS then you really have to ask yourself how high you prioritise security in general.
A city might get away with using LibreOffice, a small business however cannot. The main problem is not the program but the file formats and compatibility to other MS products.

Also: in my personal opinion, LibreOffice is horribly stuck in the 90s. Again also: where's the PIM? WTH LibreOffice, WTH?!
As a hard core liberal, I share these types of concerns. Many of the peeps I lobby are from the tech industry. Lots of face-palm moments.

It's a mistake to assume tech savviness. Much I love, respect, and admire most of their policy work. Hell, I cringe at my own prior views on privacy, intellectual property, open markets, and so forth. And I'm chin deep into this stuff.

I've come to embrace building relationships, incrementalism, taking the long view on big issues. My younger fire-brand self would be appalled.

So lobby, lobby, lobby. Build the trust, move the needle. Camp Wellstone and others provide great resources and training, for those who want to step up.
