She's a Democrat and a long tenured, high ranking one at that. Apathetic voters are largely to blame but no one wants to rock the boat because I'm sure she pork barrels a ton of money back to California.

She also has access to oodles of money from her husband (TPG Capital).

She's not opposed to being a hippocrite. She rails against guns but has a concealed gun permit. Her secret service detail carries automatic weapons and that's OK with her. It's not OK with most of her neighbors, but again, apathetic voters.
That's a good point. For people who never had a passcode it's big step up in security. It definitely depends on what the threat model is. If you are protecting yourself from coworkers it might be enough(depending on who your coworkers are). If you are protecting yourself against state level actors such as the FBI it's probably pretty worthless.

Of course they're trying to change something. But, the bill contradicts itself. It was written by people who don't understand technology.

It's an attempt by the authors to outline goals without stating how to achieve those goals.

They would be hard pressed to find a technologist who would support it.
I think it's saying that the app store will be prohibited from distribute unbreakable encryption.
Among other accusations: " The workers’ dosimeter badges, meanwhile, used to measure an individual’s exposure to radiation, could be easily manipulated to give false readings. According to Suzuki, tricks like pinning a badge on backwards, or putting it in your sock, were commonplace. Regular workers were given dosimeters which would sound an alarm when radiation exceeded safe levels, but it made such a racket that, says Suzuki, “people just turned them off or over and kept working.”"

I really wonder about the combination of ignorance of Unicode, stick-in-the-mud attitude to diversity and appetite for accidental irony that makes someone write a long paragraph (570 characters - that's at least 10^170 combinations of characters - basically impossible to store) about how it's impossible in 2016 to apply combining characters to emoji (which is how the diverse emoji are already implemented).

Quick reply to address your issues:

- the binding menu idle time is configurable with the variable `dotspacemacs-which-key-delay`, check the docstring.

- The key binding you missed (should be listed in the quick start guide) is `SPC h SPC` which is used to find various info like FAQ, layers, packages config, dotfile variables etc... try it for yourself: `SPC h SPC which-key` and choose `dotspacemacs-which-key-delay` then RET, you can now modify its default value of 0.4sec to 0.

- `SPC :` to access _all_ interactive commands of Emacs (`SPC SPC` in develop, shortcut configurable of course).

- to discover how to close a window just press `SPC` then look for `window` and so on, it takes 10 seconds to discover it ;-)

- If you were not familiar with Vim you can choose to opt for Emacs key bindings and `SPC` becomes `ALT-m`, everything else is the same. But you are familiar with Vim so I don't see what issue you want to raise.

Thank you for trying Spacemacs :-)

>I was thought to be a child prodigy with exceptional mathematical gifts; in 1975 I was the first high-school student in the institution’s memory to present original research at the annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society. Unusually large working memory, check. I’m pretty sure the authors would consider me a genius, unless they know a lot of people who have been all of: A-list software architects, New York Times bestselling authors also nominated for a Campbell Award, musicians good enough to do session work on two albums, world-championship-level players of strategy games, speakers who’ve drawn packed crowds on six continents, martial-arts instructors, sought-after advisors to investment bankers, and founders of successful reform movements that arguably changed history.

What if I'd done that 20 times around my code-base and then later I discover there's an off-by-one error in the original code that's maybe been inherited into all 20 copies?

If I could actually reuse code properly I'd only have to fix it once.

Without effective code reuse, I have to hunt down the copies, each of which may have slight modifications to make them better fit their use case (and might be hard to grep for as a result), figure out whether or not the bug exists in that copy (and whether it can actually be triggered), and fix it there.

The description of inheritance in http://typicalprogrammer.com/abject-oriented/ seems relevant here. (Edit: Derp, junke got there way before me!)
The worst part is that for 20 years (until about 10-15 years ago), anyone stating that maybe saturated fat wasn't so bad was demonized and called anti-science. There seemed to be very little opportunity for reasoned discussion or actual comparison of results in the wild. Demonization of the opposing viewpoint, instead of reasoned discussion and further inquiry, IS the definition of anti-science.
It would, yes. Players are taught young a foot on the line is the "worst shot in basketball".

You could probably get better AI listening to the sounds of the ball hitting the ring/back board/etc rather than studying images with different angles and players an shooting styles.
Images can be hashed(and hashed in such a way that minor changes can still lead to the same hash), so images of fingerprints should be hashable.

I'm in Florida, too. I own a car and drive it once a month whether I need to or not. And I ride my bike about 4000 miles per year. The weather's great, it's flat, and I can always put my bike on any bus or train. My favorite part of every day.
Parents Shouldn’t Spy on Their Kids
There is a really deep question of when does abnormal become a problem, a sickness, or a disability.

For example, homosexuality is rare and decreases the chance of having direct descendants. But would that qualify as an illness or a sickness? In some parts of the world being homosexual can result in a significantly reduced qualify of life, but is that a problem with the person or with society?

Now switch homosexuality for some far less socially acceptable (at least in Western cultures) attractions. How does things change?

Now, say we count out humans for a second (so messy legal/moral concepts like consent are less involved), and apply the thinking to different species of animals. When does abnormal behavior become illness?

Look at honey bees... most of the colony doesn't reproduce and takes roles that limit any ability to directly pass on their genes, but that is how the species works.

The difference between normal and abnormal, well and sick, mentally healthy and mentally ill are problems with not just autism, but with abnormal psychology in general.

It's really not. Depending on the service, someone who guesses your weak password and compromises your account may very well be able to injure more people than just you.
Yeah, fair enough. Honestly any single study is also just goddamn meaningless -- it's really impossible to draw any conclusions from most any study without the context of the rest of the field to judge the quality and implications of a particular paper. Pushing a single study is usually either disingenuous (on the part of anyone with financial interest) or irresponsible (on the part of media/blogger sensationalists).

I personally find it more amusing that the internet is so friendly towards "big organic". :-)

The stencil buffer provides a boolean mask for the regions you care about, making it easy to draw them in flat color with a subsequent pass. I can't see a way to do that easily with depth information only.

(Plus, it was traditional to combine 24-bit depth with 8-bit stencil in the same buffer, so stencil writes were basically free if you're writing depth anyway.)
So this is going to go level above War of Drugs in terms of US retardness.
I gained 50 pounds over the course of a year spent with a commute pof 1.5 hours one way. For all my interest in owning a house, I'd rather not be morbidly obese because I've given up all the time I have to work out. The only solution I have is to live close to work, and that means renting.
The mental gymnastics required to adhere to the One True Way are certainly impressive.
This is the Grover Norquist / Tea Party position: it's important to keep tax preparation horrible so that people have a healthy hatred of paying taxes. I consider this an extremely ideological stance. Simplifying the tax code is an intractable problem. The tax code becomes complicated because of the very nature of congress, and I would say it is because of the very nature of taxes. The US is not the only country with a complex tax code!

What is the likelihood that we would get some sort of sweeping reforms like the ones you're looking for? What is the likelihood that the reforms you are imagining are even possible at all? (If you're a self-critical type, how certain are you that the reforms in your imagination would really help people that much?) Passing a bill like this would be a boon for hundreds of millions of people. It is certain, it is immediate, it is politically achievable.

Doesn't matter, the objective of bringing prices back down is politically untenable in most developed countries, so the means to accomplish it are never discussed.

I would also recommend nginx. For pure proxying it's rather convenient, and offers some nice high level caching if you desire it.
It's called practice. That area for a shooter is no-mans land. They either will setup outside the 3pt line or significantly inside the 3pt line. It is simply a spot no shooter, and particularly one like Kobe, would ever setup and wait for a pass or call for the ball from.
The whole notion of a car being a "rite of passage" in America has always seemed odd to me, even as an American. In many cases, I have friends with loads of college debt taking on an equal amount of debt for a new car upon graduation.

It seems to me to be a throwback idea that has lived on. I don't think a new car can really be seen as a rite of passage in the current culture of tuition inflation/stagnating wages. It is more like a luxury you are lucky to be able to truly afford (I'm not talking a 72 month payment plan, no down payment afford here) a year or less out of college.

>The site is also unusable on mobile, because ASCII art unlike proper semantic HTML is not easily rescalable by the browser. And it's inaccessible by users relying on screen readers, ironically because of all the ASCII cruft.

As web developers, we're used to "everyone" being the audience, but that's not the case here. As a stylized visual representation of the weather, it's fine. I dig it.

Making sure something is accessible to screen readers is generally an important thing (and could be worked on here) but I give this project a pass because the visual design is the whole point of the exercise.

And while I viewed this on mobile (and was fine for me with zooming), that clearly isn't the audience. Again, it could be improved if the author felt like it, but even if "fixed" (perhaps having morning, noon, evening, night being stacked vertically on mobile) I don't think this would be hardly anybody's goto weather reference on mobile. It's meant for us desktop users who are lovers of the terminal aesthetic.

Gas taxes in the US are around 50 cents/gallon, so at the current national average price of gas of a bit over $2/gallon, that's about a 33% tax.

Airplanes are actually more efficient than cars the way they're used. Cars are usually single-person affairs. The average occupancy is well under two. Passenger airplanes usually fly close to full, and typical fuel efficiency is in the neighborhood of 70-120 seat-miles per gallon.
Which, if your RTFA, they have done and noted. They show that this is not quite as simple as it seems since, for example, Arya has more POV chapters but Sansa is more important to the story.
That's right. Mostly they test whether people have taken the time to prep for an interview. That has some value, but maybe not the value the interviewers intended.

I like the kinds of interviews where you assign a coding problem before the interview and review the code, or where debugging is part of the tech interview.
a. That's part of the problem - we have a lot of inefficient suburban sprawl. I don't thnk anybody would claim a farmer or other rural resident should be car-free.
b. That's a failure of us, as a society, to provide reasonable public transit and walkable town centers.
c. This doesn't require owning a car. Rental cars are readily available. ZipCar and other car sharing services are available in larger cities.

For whatever reason, the US has simply decided it prefers the waste of automotive transportation. I'm sure there are many factors... cheap fuel, plenty of land, racism and other social factors, etc.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
Cars are fine if you use them appropriately. They're great for trips from one city to another (> 10 miles or so) or if you need to carry something really heavy. Otherwise walking, biking, or public transportation are preferable.

If your life is arranged such that all the places you commonly need to go are > 10 miles apart from each other, consider changing that.
I have some biased doubts (come from the JVM world) about needing really fast compiling and is often cited as the reason Go does things the way it does (or is).

Is binary dependency management just not an option ever?

I have a friend that works for Google and supposedly they have a proprietary build infrastructure that will offload the building of C++ code into a cluster. I sort of wish Google open sourced that as I believe it basically does some form of binary dependency management.

Yes I know Go like C++ can target lots of platform (and thus needs many binaries built) but an organization only needs the major ones. And yes I know the language statically compiles to a single binary but that doesn't mean things can't be precompiled.

Go these days seems to be mainly used for microservices or small utilities and thus you don't need and should not have a gigantic code base for such things. I can understand monolithic UI apps having large code bases but this is clearly not what Go is being used for these days.

There are many other languages that compile to native that seem to compile fairly fast (OCaml and Rust from my experience but I don't have huge code bases).

Is compilation speed really an issue given the use cases for Go?
Plants are living things too. You are killing them by eating them.
I know I am not answering your question but having played with my daughters (almost 4 and 7) I found http://www.scratchjr.org/ one of the best options. Yes, it is a mobile application but it is much easier than Scratch where the kids have a lot of different blocks, need to use the keyboard and mouse instead of a touch interface and must read. ScratchJr also motivates the story telling side of programming making stories and characters.

Personally, I am rather skeptical of coding toys for very young kids, or to say it in a different way: you can spend one year pushing a 3 year old kid to learn something that at 6 can learn in a few hours and with much more insight.
Graph centrality measures are a pretty interesting and ongoing topic of research in mathematics, yes. I'm familiar with methods based on eigenspectra of the matrix exponential (and some relevance to Krylov subspace methods), but that's really it.

Yeah I think that's the tough part - everything was very different 20 years ago, so when people's parents offer advice it's relevant to what worked well for them then, rather than what would be best for them now.
Yeah, but they said every time they play a game on the Vive, they wish they were wearing the Rift.

You can add Touch controllers and a second camera to the Rift, but the Vive is never getting more comfortable or crisper.
In dynamic languages the type is known at runtime.
I read this as: if he's outside of the 3-point line and open, it's in his best interest to get as close to the line as possible and take the shot. He'll never intentionally step just over that line and degrade down to a two pointer. This fact should really reduce the number of shots in the "just over the line" zone.

As you go in a bit, I suspect it's much less likely that he would have started open outside the arc. If a three isn't an option he would take the easiest shot available wherever it was, and "easiest" usually means "closer (if open)".

And finally, if he's just inside the arc and wide open, he's going to have time to move a step back to try the three.

So I think there are few situations where it would make sense to take the shot just inside the arc.
It's a consistent stigma across most of America
Government is trying to make it illegal for one person to keep secrets and whisper them into another's ear.

We can argue all day about how the law doesn't prevent criminals from using technologies (it doesn't, which makes the law idiotic, from a logic perspective), but that's not the important part.

The important part is that this group of folks we're calling Government is trying to prevent us from being allowed to have secrets and whisper to each other.

Government is not as stupid as we'd like to think. Government doesn't believe that "terrorists" will stop using encryption. These laws are not for "terrorists". They're for us. Take away somebody's ability to keep secrets, and you've gained a pretty good advantage over their position[1].

This is about only one thing: leverage; and leverage is power.

Yep, those are other factors to take into consideration. There's a give and take for each option. If dealing with landlords is that much worse for you than having to pay for all repairs no matter what, then owning might be a better option.

My main issue is that people just think "renting is throwing your money away" and then take on 300k in debt, without considering all the angles.
