You are literally saying that 'she' isn't welcome. And having 'she' everywhere is no more disingenuous than having 'he' everywhere. Neither one covers everybody, and just defaulting to the majority has a ton of problems. Even more problematic is when people feel the need to shout it down when they see minority representation. Why did you feel the need to stamp this out instead of responding to the actual content of the post?

In a lot of the US, 'you guys' is standard plural you regardless of gender,
but we don't have a gender neutral pronoun other than "they" which only works some of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

But in this case it would have worked fine: "a software engineer has thought about user registration and authentication. Hopefully they have thought a lot about it."

Let's push for the expanded use of "they" as gender neutral singular rather than pushing "she" down.
Your own link has a link showing California is already running into these problems you say are not problems:
http://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/04/04/what-will-california-...

Batteries are obviously not the only solution - a more connected grid would push the problem into the future, but to claim this is not a relevant problem is ignoring something that is already manifesting.
1. When the only way to modify code is to create a new function, this technique would work fine.

2. I think you're right.
No, that's not fairly obvious! "Chemical" in this context is meaningless... so you're basically claiming that eating anything is harmful to the pristine state of the body uncontaminated by "chemicals" (aka molecules).
Please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News. Glib dismissals (like this one) are among the worst forms of this, so please avoid those in particular.

These symbols are intended to refer to the areas of overlap between the circular sections s_i and s_j.

It is an odd notation and it's not one that I've seen before. You can infer what it means though when earlier in the paper they refer to the "product" C * P_n as the "part of P_n lying in C".
FWIW in Poland at least some of the top 4 carriers force their bloatware on your Android phone, with no way to uninstall (I haven't tried rooting the phone though).
I don't think it will take billions. LSTM+CTC speech recognition implementations are coming to OSS and I think we have large enough available data sets for training without needing Google size resources. Audio books are a good resource for training and it's not hard to amass hundreds or thousands of hours of training material that way. I think we will have 95%+ accuracy ASR as open source trained networks very soon.

In the case of Amazon Echo/Dot they benefit greatly from the far field array mic for isolating a clean speech signal in noisy/far field environments, would be nice to see generic USB array mics with Linux drivers
Mostly to relatives who would prefer to receive mail than email. Otherwise I recently had to communicate with a health insurance company that didn't accept anything by email, and said the images of cancelled checks I faxed them were too blurry to read.
Yea, there are now many crypto currencies that are very similar in design to Bitcoin, but gold has unique properties that cannot truly be copied.
You say that like we're not running huge deficits by design, on purpose, and with the approval of those most empowered to effect change.
I'm still running 10.8.5 - I run my system very, very hard, typically 20-30 Apps simultaneously with multiple Fusion VMs, and 50+ tabs in the browser, all three browsers, running, Aperture, Full Office suite - and I've never run into an issue with memory. Unless you are running XCode, or Video Editing, or some of the heavy Adobe Suite/SomeOtherSpecializedNicheWorkstationApp - you really don't need more than 8 GiB on OS X (at lease as of 10.8.5).

I'm guessing that SSDs and swapping really changed the game around virtual memory performance on Mac laptops.
A lot of these are requirements around the delivery metadata, not the item being delivered.
So the new property found is that, for any given circle C1, the smallest n-gon whose inscribed circle is C1 is a regular n-gon?

Edit: rephrasing.
What would be the story? Climate change is real? I think that is pretty well understood by most of the NY Times readers. The story is now "This week in Apocolpyse Forecasting." Two things make this challenging, one is that the highest/lowest/largest/smallest in recorded history is like 150 - 200 years usually, and folks know that in human history at least people were living near gaciers and munching on Mammoth and Sabertooth. So clearly there are temperatures that are both "previously experienced by humans" and "not part of the recorded human record".

I think climate change news now that would get coverage would be actions being taken (as opposed to observations being made). What actions will Texas take after this season to mitigate the risk of flooding? What actions will California take to insure reliable water sources across both drought and excess modalities? I think we've reached the "Ok, so what?" phase.

I first heard BCE/CE maybe ten years ago or a little less.

I have literally never heard anyone outside of a college classroom use it in a way other than making fun of people using it.

We can say what the "standard" or "correct" is all we want, but if 99.999% of people use BC/AD, it's BC/AD.
Is Microsoft still putting that much effort into IE? I thought they were transitioning to Edge. Regardless, I'm in the same boat as you. I have to target IE11, and my friend got me really hyped about flexbox until the cross-browser support came to light.

If you're using an atom, you're already sticking state in a place; the problem with atoms is choosing granularity. If one atom has everything in it, it will become a point of contention.

If your compare-and-set returns false, what do you do?

STM resolves these issues by letting you coordinate updates to more granular, finer-scoped refs
This is interesting when compared to Amazon Elastic Container Service because of Azure Container Service's support for native Docker clustering tools.

If I am developing user docker-compose, I want to deploy that way, too - at least until I reach scale, at which point I want scheduling and orchestration tools, e.g. Swarm.

For easier disaster recovery, it's very convenient if these scheduling/orchestration tools let you deploy in the same way cross-cloud-provider. Swarm can run on AWS/Azure/GCE/bare metal, whereas ECS (which doesn't support Swarm and has its own scheduling/orchestration toolset) can only run on ECS.

+1 to MS for thinking about native tooling up-front.
You gotta stop putting words in my mouth or I won't reply.

My problem is with <employers> making expensive purchases that are not necessarily better than the cheaper options, and can be more inconvenient as well.
>Postal Inspectors

Those exist? I thought that nobody (including the government) was supposed to look at, touch, or investigate mail (except from prisons IIRC)
That's true, but most of the time you can express the "new" stuff in terms of existing fast libraries.

I've had a few cases where you can't, and have become a big fan of Cython for that. It lets you add C typedefs to Python code, and then compile the module at import time. Example here: http://pastebin.com/sF8KmyiU

All of pure Python is still allowed in these modules, but the typedeffed variables become pure C variables instead of objects, and loops become pure C loops. For this particular function, I got a 1000x speedup compared to the original Python code.

In the end, this isn't Python any more - but it's close enough, and only needed for loops that run over millions of items.
I don't think that's true, although that's gut feeling and not based on data. Do you have any data on that?
> The characteristics from which gold derives it's value are basic facts of the universe.

Yeah, human ability to worship.
I think its pretty obvious that the majority of users are burned out on "publishing" their own content and are more than happy to slide back into a re-professionalized world of super-users and regular consumers.

Where they do want to create their own content is in chat. I dont think this is a great mystery and FB is very aware of it. Its why Mark kept saying "The best way to privately share" instead of "Chat" when referring to messenger.
I've been getting up earlier so I have some time before my kid wakes up. He's adjusted to my earlier schedule now so all that's happened is I'm doing his breakfast at 6:30 instead of 7. Hard to keep quiet in a 2 bedroom house where the shower is right next to his room unfortunately.
Simply open sourcing the code doesn't give that validation.
Basic client-side validation is possible with HTML5 inputs and attributes, but for anything more involved you need to use JavaScript.
There's also a framebuster, and onclick handlers for the search button.
I'm a little curious. What part of Microsoft having container availability in it's cloud offering is not interesting (particularly given that it can run both linux and windows containers)?

In other words, what makes you assume that the upvotes are 'paid' vs people being interested in the technology?
What I've noticed is that if I do not touch facebook for a month, when I come back ALL I see are personal mostly text, sometimes photos posts from people doing actual updates of their lives. Gone is the absolute DELUGE of clickspam, shared political links, quick videos and ads.

But spend more than a day on it and it all comes back. Its /r/all or imgur. Its unusable again for the prime reason I have a facebook account, keeping up with friends and family.

My suspicion is that since their feed algorithm tracks how long you look over things, and HIGHLY prefers videos and click links over text or photos. If you spend a few more seconds over a gif thats pretty much designed to grab your attention than grandma's witty comment about the old days you're doomed to never see grandma again, unless you comment, like or otherwise engage with the grandma post in a metric-capturable way.

This is the problem with social media - the more you try to monetize it via advertising the less you succeed at your core value proposition. If not for the network effect I suspect people would have moved on a long time ago.

A better solution is to simply use `gpg-agent` as your `ssh-agent`, as it supports that protocol and it supports RSA authentication keys.

Then your public keys provide not only identity, but services can verify that identity through their web of trust.
Aetna Pays Staff Extra for Sleeping Properly
Sounds like you're talking about rebuttals to dingbats who say things like, "it was cold today, so global warming is false." That's about local temperatures, which indeed are not relevant (except in aggregate) to climate. Global temperatures absolutely are relevant, though.

Managing the Deluge of Atom Issues
I’m not defending the implementation (I hate most of std::iostream), just that "\n" is not exactly equivalent so switching to that may cause surprising behavior and create problems. Auto-flush has its uses.

If the main purpose of a program is to generate output then it ought to know what it’s doing anyway and know how to avoid poor performance. For most programs, I’d say that Unix rules of thumb apply: if you are already trying to be “silent on success”, your program will either print nothing or maybe an error or two and not have to worry about print performance. If your program might only print one error and that doesn’t even show up because a flush didn’t happen before a crash, there is a big problem.
We rather say the economy is stable, then. If most things go awry after a war, that's not because of the currency and nobody will care about the currency either ... except for traders crossing borders and exchanging currency. In the world market, if currency is treated as a commodity, other currencies count as most things, I guess.

So, you may be right and your parent will also.
Oh I see, sorry I'd entirely misunderstood. I was thinking of it on the side of sending things to (say) a bank, rather than the bank sending things to you.

Interesting, thanks.

Definitely possible. The ones I've heard about foreign languages heard in background seem easiest to test.
> But I always got paid via check, which went into my bank account. I think the thing that would make the most sense is to be able to setup a separate account with your own bank, so you can still direct deposit without worrying about ATM fees or what have you, and still be able to keep painless1099 in the loop of money by giving them access. Anything else introduces friction / fees that would deter usage; and i really really hate fees. (a reason i dont do paypal, for example)

Sounds like they could make some referral cash off of referring people to checking accounts.

This, I can't help but think he'd have a different opinion if some of these pictures were shown out of context without any indication that it's NK.
i think it sounds odd given what I know about the demographics. Almost as if the problem is perception, not real numbers. So i agree with you for sure. I'm not against it, I just think "she" started getting wodespread use after the demographics issue came to a head earlier in the year.

Hi Brudgers - Thank you for the feedback. We are evaluating a number of alternative revenue options. (Most come with plenty of regulations and oversight requirements - the nature of the beast in financial advice/insurance.) I have favored the insurance revenue model (at least in the beginning) because we can be up and running (i.e., open for business) in one or two months, and fund growth strictly off of revenue. But you raise a valuable point. As Vic mentioned, we're hoping to mine the feedback of the financial plan users to determine appetites for buying, etc. The price compression and commoditization in the crowded investment management ("robo") space (i.e., <20 basis points annually on assets) tends to make that approach less attractive in the beginning.
I love this idea. My cousin and I have been sending each other postcards frequently for years. She's always good about sending them often while I'm only good at purchasing neat postcards with the intent to send them.
I wonder if it'll become public like CloudKit.

For independent projects I'd still use/recommend OSM (using something like leaflet.js) but if you have Mac/iOS/web apps this would be a good solution for showing maps

200 killed in Ethiopia for cattle
Thanks - I've been doing the same thing. Here was my ask back in 2012 when I was waiting for a new laptop from Apple (this is my "Now I will Upgrade" point): 500+ Gigabyte SSD, 16 Gigabyte Memory, 7 Hour Battery, 2880x1800 13" Air w/802.11ac (500 megabit WiFi) - $1200

Back then, I thought that system would land in Spring/Summer 2014. Things have certainly slowed down - at least they got the Battery life in a good place.

So, here is what we are looking at with the MacBook

2304 x 1440 pixels. (12" IPS Retina)
10 Hours Battery
8 GiB Memory
512 GB SSD
802.11 ac
1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core m7, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
$1749

You can save a bit of money ($150) by going with the 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core m5, Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz - so, base price $1599. (You could save another $300 by dropping down to a 1.1GHZ, and only 256 GB SSD @ $1299, but I drive my system pretty hard on the CPU, and it seems like the Turbo to 2.7 GHz + 512 GB SSD is worth $300)

I'm trying to figure out if I can hold out another year. I kinda want the 13" display. I use this screen for everything, and real-estate is precious, but I don't know if it's a deal killer - particularly as it supports the same scaled resolution as my MBair (1440x900) - and my close up eyesight is awesome. Might have to see what the Terminal looks like in scaled resolution. I'm not a big fan of the mobile processors on this box, but everyone says it's ok. Be interesting to see how VMware holds up with Windows/OpenBSD. 8 GiB/memory, turns out to be fine. Apple isn't increasing it because you really don't need more with OS X on a non pro system - so I'm dropping 16 GiB from my wishlist.

It looks like this may be the end of the line for the MacBook Air (other than a memory bump for the 13" up to 8 GB for the same $999 price) - Given that Retina probably isn't that big a deal, I'm almost considering the 2015 Broadwell MacBook Air just as a holder for my older Laptop. I can go light on the CPU and probably still come out ahead of the MacBook, even with the pre-skylake architecture. Take good care of it for three years (it won't be my daily driver) - and there will still be probably 50% of it's value when I finally upgrade to my "final" system (or at least something I hold onto for six or so years). $1199 MBAir gets me 1.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz, 8GiB, 256 GB PCI-e SSD, 12 Hours Battery.

I may just wait for Anandtech/GeekBench to review this gear to see how the Skylake m5 1.2 GHz compares with the Core i5 1.6 GHz before making a decision...
What if you use that power to help other beings, though?
Yes, in addition to the [current] top comment, this helps a great deal. thanks!

They've done this for Skype too. And the funnier thing is when I reported it to Skype, they claimed it was "OK" because it said TOM in the description (Skype's Chinese sponsor). Except the link did not have anything to do with Skype or TOM.

You show no interest in discourse. I'm done talking to you.
Facebook's "Circles" are called "Lists", and UX aside, I think Facebook's Lists are a lot better than Google+'s Circles. I actually got a chance to talk with some Google+ folks at an event while the beta was still going on, and asked why I couldn't say "share this post with all the people in my 'friends' Circle but not with anyone in my 'coworkers' Circle", which is something Facebook's lists allow you to do quite easily. Their response was that this wasn't a feature they wanted to add because it didn't serve most people's use cases.
