This is why Google cut a deal with Samsung to bring them more in line. (Terms are secret, as usual.) Samsung seemed like it was likely to fork before, and it's probably the only manufacturer large enough to draw app developers with it. So Google did some under the table things. Possibly actually a patent lawsuit threat, given that the deal they announced included a patent sharing arrangement.

Munin integration via our bot just alerted us to the Linode DDoS today.

Also our bot can draw cows on demand. Very important that.

In my experience comparing Slack vs HipChat (limited experience, but still), Slack's notifications were more reliable. As in, Slack was smarter about figuring out when I'd locked my laptop, or the screensaver had activated, and then it would re-route notifications to my phone. It does this pretty flawlessly, compared to HipChat that would mess it up sometimes (and so we were never quite sure whether to trust it).
Imagine if the keys to academic success were that you needed to believe that blue is the best color. There is nothing intrinsic about blue being the best color, and a good argument could be made that green is the best color. But, everyone who holds the keys to the kingdom of academic success think that blue is the best color, and won't let anyone in who thinks green is the best color.

Do you think that system is "fair"? Or a good one?

One benefit is that the name `bar` is looked up in `foo`'s namespace, which means that it doesn't have to be in the current global namespace. This is a mixed blessing, but it's sometimes what you want.

I'm reasonably seasoned in Azure, though far, far from an expert. But it sounds like you need to set up a Reserved IP in Azure, that should solve your problem. You'll need PowerShell to do this. (tut: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/reserved-ip-addresses...)

I think you can do this from the Azure CP now, I am not 100% sure.

Your IP should not flush on reboot though, that should theoretically only occur if you're doing cold boots/shutdowns; but that's a no-no in any cloud environment unless you have a reserved IP; which is why you are encouraged to use cnames instead for domain management, etc.

As far as the region problem, this can happen if you're using something like a scale set or load balancers. That could throw off a trace route. Also making sure your storage account, etc are all in the same region is fairly important.

Same here. It's very hard to get actual work done when one is constantly distracted by conversations that can't safely be ignored. Email is bad enough, in that regard.

An old-school analogy comes to mind. People used to BS in common space. But it was just BS. Decisions were made, or at least formalized, in meetings.
Libertarians are in a special category. They are the ultimate utopians in the sense that they believe, perhaps in the complete absence of understanding of the role of the state in the creation of markets, that a market is purely a point of exchange between two or more individuals. There has never been such thing in history. Not in the sense that we understand civilization (for better or worse) as it is today.
If this was said of companies people could say "Don't buy an index. That's just an average of good companies and bad companies. Instead just buy good companies they will consistently outperform the index."

The problem is in the details. Identifying good companies is very very hard. Identifying good funds is much much harder. By the time there is a large amount of evidence that a fund is a good fund it is either
A. closed to new funds

or

Concerning military bases:

I could be wrong, but I think production lipos (and variants) are closer to .15Wh/g, and not much higher than 0.25 for anything that isn't entirely theoretical.
By the way, one more thing:

In 1973, Park Chung-hee also tried to murder Kim Dae-jung, then a prominent opposition leader. Korean government agents kidnapped Kim in Japan (which predictably blew up into a big diplomatic scandal), and dragged him into a boat, blindfolded and bound, ready to throw him into water once they're far enough from the shore.

But somehow a ship or an airplane intervened. (It seems there are many conflicting accounts. Some say it was a ship from Japanese coast guards; Kim apparently remembers that the crew cried "There's an airplane!") Several sources say that CIA discovered Kim's kidnapping and alerted the Japanese government.

So, most likely CIA saved Kim Dae-jung from being murdered by Park. I'm usually not a fan of American foreign policy, but in this one case, I'm thoroughly grateful.

* It seems there's uncertainty on whether Park ordered the murder, or if it was planned by some overzealous officer. Well, they're all dead now, so we'll never know...

Yeah - technically it's true here as well. Practically, short of mowing down a pedestrian in front of a cop (or some other spectacularly provocative bad behaviour), the odds of getting breath tested while riding a bicycle are close enough to zero to make no difference. (Having said that, I once worked with a guy who lost his driving license after getting caught while riding a horse home from the pub - he was the kind of angry mouthy guy who was gonna end up like that somehow anyway, I suspect he worked quite vigorously at getting the cop worked up and angry enough to bother doing it...)

First off, the author acknowledges that it's not the tool's fault. The author specifically indicates that they were aware it was a cultural problem and tried to fix it. The author specifically says that they were hoping to reintegrate slack once they figured out how to do it in a more healthy fashion.

Your comment, on the other hand, passes quick, merciless judgement on a culture you have exactly one blog post's worth of insight into… Unaided by the benefit of a careful reading of that post's content.

Qt5 has JavaScript all over the place.

JavaScript is the language used for the QML declarative GUI system, which is encouraged as the graphical basis for new Qt applications. That is based on QScriptEngine (based on V8) which is also usable separately from non-QML applications. QObjects that have been registered via QMetaType can be easily instantiated from inside JavaScript. On those QObjects, methods that have been declared as slots can be called painlessly from JavaScript. For a property to be accessible from JavaScript, it does have to be setup with Q_PROPERTY instead of just being a member variable, which is a bit more work on the C++ side, but once that is done it too is fairly seamless to the JavaScript engine.

Also, there is Chromium as QWebEngine, since you mention it. Its JavaScript is less seamless with Qt since the two sides have to communicate via websockets. Previously there was QWebView which was more nicely integrated in with the rest of Qt, but I guess WebKit and Chromium both progressed in ways that were incompatible with that, thus its replacement.

If you want to write a Qt application in JavaScript without writing a single bit of C++ you can do that with QML. If you want to write a traditional QWidget application in JavaScript then you will need to write a certain amount of bootstrap code. I would imagine there is room for improvement here, but it certainly isn't fair to suggest that there aren't JavaScript bindings or that they aren't officially supported as part of the project.

Since you mention a node competitor, it would be interesting to try to use the Qt network server parts of the library to write a server in JavaScript. Perhaps it would inform me of areas where Qt's bindings for JavaScript are weak.
This is not a new project, but it's so simple and, yet, practical - I couldn't resist to repost it in hopes.
There are very specific reasons a house is a better investment than an REIT.

1. Taxes - There are tax breaks to owning
2. Property Management - For an REIT you pay a property manager. If you own, no need to manage your property. Free +1.2% return on asset!
3. Loans are heavily subsidized by the government, REITs cannot get 30 year loans at 3-4% interest.
4. Occupancy - You live here. Occupancy rate 100% so take an +.6% to returns!

If the government stopped 1 and 3, technology completely automated 2, and leases were 4 years long. Then no one would recommend buying your own house as an investment.
Wouldn't a partial explanation for the correlation be that if a relative dies earlier in the semester or over the summer the student may not mention it because they don't need accommodation?
Yeah, I just got my new Target card the other day and was thrilled to see it come with a PIN.

After Target got thoroughly pwned a couple of years ago, I'm sure their security team have quite a bit of say in how things will run. Other companies won't take the risk of upsetting customers who can't use their card if they forget their PIN.

> Conservative ideology is focused around defining progress [...] as a return to a previous state of affairs

> To a conservative ideologue, the truth lies behind us.

Given the context, I disagree with your interpretation of the "conservative" label.

It is obvious (to me) that what the author means in this particular article, and the grandparent, is "Conservatism as defined in United States political ideology" [1], perhaps of the Barry Goldwater flavour, and not your broader and in this context misleading definition, which coupled to some of the more vocal people calling themselves conservatives today leads to a form of association fallacy I've observed some university departments use precisely to reject "conservatives".

This particular definition of conservatism is compatible with scientific progress and new thinking, as shown by the evidence of decades of both happening in politically conservative university departments (in the US and abroad) in the 20th century.

I don't get how verbal stuff is imprecise but slack is clear. I find it to be the opposite. It's much better to have a face-to-face chat or a voice chat than converse in writing. It's more clear and you can get more feedback from the other person. Also, if you need to be more precise, you can just write stuff on a board/notepad/chat while talking.

For what it's worth, last week I asked for help with user testing a couple new features on a startup in three different Slack groups I'm a member of, and also via around 150 cold emails. Response rates were 21x better to the same ask in a cold email versus a Slack message.

And this isn't just a one-off either, I've seen other people report the same thing consistently, where 'conversion' rates in response to even the most basic questions or asks are pretty much zero.
I've always wondered about the viability of an email client that behaves like a chat client. Instant send with the enter key, messages in bubbles, etc. You get all the fun of IM without additional infrastructure or services, and in a standard way too. No walled gardens of different apps.

I agree. For me, the red flag was when the coworker asked him why he was so stressed. If things are working for other people, but not you, then something on your end probably needs to change. To me, it sounds like the author needs to trust his coworkers more. It's OK not to be involved in every decision. Sit back and let people own some things, and save your focus for the things you've decided to own. Everyone will be happier and more productive.
No, it just means none of the 10k people were qualified enough. They were not fit for the open positions. Otherwise there is no sense in hiring an H1B with the same salary plus all the H1B related fees and expenses.
One thing to note is that even if you are one of the few who has a gift for investing, you need to be investing a lot of money to break even.

Assume

1. it takes an extra 500 hours a year to research and buy good investments.

2. you make $60 an hour

3. all your hard work delivers a respectable alpha of 3%(3% better returns than than the market)

You need to be investing approximately 1 million dollars to break even.
We have no information on how the data was collected. If a death wasn't right before an exam, likely students wouldn't bother telling the professor. My grandpa died last term and I didn't tell any professors.

The measured death rate before exams should be compared to the expected death rate. How old is the average student, how old is their average grandma, and how many women from that period are expected to die at that age, multiplied by the fraction of the year taken up by the exam period.

Also remember there is no free money out there. Investing takes a lot of work and often times doesn't pay off for years.
