Worse than average, in most subjects :(

Math and physics majors totally kicked my ass. But at least I was still near the top in chemistry :) And I discovered that engineering math and coding made a lot more sense than, for example, number theory.
This is incredible. The key is in its simplicity, speed, and variety of languages.

Kudos!
Surely state regulations supersede local ones if there's a direct conflict, or they would if the city every complained and the matter were ever brought in front of a judge?
Regarding simple languages designed for teaching. I'm a big fan of the use of tools to let you program in a sane subset of a real world language. E.g. you can still run your JS anywhere, but if you enforce various jshint style rules on yourself, you'll generally be much happier. An even stronger version of that could be used to train people by catching things that are odd but not definately invalid. Later those training wheels can be loosened or removed totally.

A possible side effect would be to generate better error messages on syntax errors etc., in many languages these are actively unhelpful to beginners, pointing away from the root problem.
Disconnect.me wraps Google and is bundled in the for browser.

I think there was untapped potential and undelivered potential. And the things they learned propagated way too slowly. That's my take.
It's already there, i have either my phone or tablet out when i use my 3DR Solo (it displays the video feed). One screen of the app which displays the video feed, is airspace restrictions on a map of the current area (although you can pan and zoom around the world in order to plan future flights too).
Why not both? Complaining is useful to the target of the complaint (if they care to pay attention) and often gets results.

I don't understand why so many people seem to think that complaining is somehow not a legitimate reaction to this sort of thing.
I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect this is an intractable change in our economy. I also have another feeling (in which I once again hope I'm wrong) that a solution to said issue won't come until a lot of pain has been dealt out.
IBM's Watson is doing that already.

This is good! Though, some sort of captcha will be useful to avoid people spamming this.
So let's say this isn't a bunch of bullshit, what benefit does she stand to receive from having her telemeters becoming longer again?
You are right. Params can be references to state, either as an atom or ref, or to a function which accesses external state (e.g. a database). The idea that params somehow obviate the need for state overlooks that.

Yeah, Marissa Meyer was hired to save a dinosaur from the tarpit, and has done a mediocre job at it. She isn't even that bad - she's no Carly Fiorina - and I've never seen her ethics challenged.

I'd go as far as to say that if Meyer at least manages to unwind Yahoo gracefully, she may move on to greater success in the future in a similar position.
You seem to be using "Agile" to mean some particular methodology, probably (at least, this is usual when this mistake is made), Scrum.

But Agile isn't a methodology; it is a set of principles and priorities for use in determining (and adapting over time) the right methodology for a particular operation.

There are a number of methodologies that have been described as a result of (in theory, at least) applying Agile principles in particular environments. Scrum is one of those, but so is Kanban (and so are hybrids of the two, sometimes called "ScrumBan".)
File watching is a pain in folders where you have more than a few files. With nested folders and hundreds of files, it takes usually 10-15 seconds to initialize the file watcher. Then it works fine.
I guess they try to hit people like me. I have only one online shopping account connected to my real name. It's on Amazon. Back then I got it to buy books in english. It worked pretty well for some time with other products too.

However. Seeing this, I would rather pirate the game then allow them to force me into Prime.

Thanks to the messed up DHL delivery guys here I already started to discover shops in my area again. Especially for electronics and other fragile products.
That was a great read. Thank you for linking it.
No, they're pointing out the exact problem they're seeking to address. That's a step that many developers and founders never bother to take.

Furthermore, 18F doesn't control the onboarding process of (other) government agencies.
They lost me from Prime when they started doing ads before the programmes and messing up every other delivery. If they want to lose the hundreds of pounds of orders I continue to make, and the hundreds more pounds of AWS spend, they have certainly managed to find an approach to achieve that

It echoes their decision to not carry the AppleTV, and to direct searches for AppleTVs to the FireTV. It's arrogant and customer-hostile. And ultimately, the result in my case was that I had a perfectly pleasant buying experience with Apple.
English much?

I said audio. I provided this as a counterexample to the stated thesis of your post. There exist things that can be done over a network such that latency is not an issue. I am obviously not pulling data over a cross-continental link.

FWIW, the protocols I write at work can do a full data pull - a couple thousand elements and growing - in under a half second end to end. I don't know of any HTML/Web based protocols that can even get close to that over localhost.

So yeah - we know the Web is an utter pig. My point is that it probably doesn't have to be.
Local government doesn't give a damn; they're perfectly content to refuse permit issuance if you don't comply with their regulations.

In theory you're correct, but, courts aren't known for their speed.

EDIT: IANAL but I think the issue here is more complex, because the regulations don't "conflict", they create a situation where a bad outcome occurs only because both of them are in place.

Does anyone know if there are other "emergent phenomenon" effects in law and how they're handled?

Yes, encrypted file includes unencrypted public key (even if it doesn't need it to decrypt) and it means that anyone who has access to the encrypted file, can produce another encrypted file with the same key. I wanted it to be very simple to use, but probably I'll reconsider that.

Well if the US does go to war with Saudi Arabia, I hope it's an economic one. Stuff like funding electric cars and clean energy to cut off Saudi Arabia's oil money. But that's probably not going to happen.
It's also about 2 times bigger than a lot of SNES and Mega Drive games. Or about 4 times bigger than Super Mario World (512KB).

As for why it's getting so insane, probably either:

1. Frameworks, since most people don't remove the code they're not using. For Bootstrap or Foundation, that can be a lot of extra code.

2. Content Management Systems, since stuff like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, any forum or social network script, tend to add a lot of extra code (more so if you've added plugins).

3. The aforementioned tracking codes, ads, etc.
Seems like a test to see how the practice goes.

Really don't know what the hypothesis or plan is that would lead to good conclusions though.
This is interesting, but I'm not sure why they use CouchDB and PostgreSQL.

I've been calling this for ages since I saw Elizabeth Holmes speak at the Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders seminar at Stanford 5 or 6 years ago. Huge vision, entitled dismissal of incumbents, and a story that is just a little bit too perfect. Following your dreams is cool, but only when they aren't delusions.
I'll second the exploring the schema bit. Overall I'm really impressed with JetBrains tools, in this case however not so much. Schema exploration is pretty critical in a database tool. While it is useful; it isn't able to replace other database tools I need so I've just continued working with my existing tools rather than adding yet another to the mix.
XebiaLabs introduces ChatOps
It seems like it's not really all that interesting...
My guess:

- They cost more than the free shipping threshold, giving shipping away free

- New games are low profit to begin with

- Amazon sells enough of these that they are already in every distribution center

- Every unit Amazon ships probably arrives in a "Prime" amount of time anyway, giving away expedited shipping for free

This is just bringing some video game sales into alignment with what Amazon wanted Prime to do all along.

Amazon makes very good money on a sale that they don't control. If the costs of making that sale (or supporting returns, etc) is too high they benefit significantly by letting marketplace sellers take all the risk.
Ask HN: Can someone solve this mystery for me about a saying at JFK's funeral?
I have been trying to figure out if this is a poem and if so, who wrote it. In the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KJQkn6zUvM, the saying starts from 1:40 - 3:46. It starts There was a sound of laughter and in a moment it was no more...

If it is not a poem, can someone tell me what that is about? To add to my confusion, a poster in the comment section said "the ring was returned to her in Bethesda" Ok, so did something happen?
I never got Prime before because the cost would amortize to an expensive shipping rate for me based on how many orders I make. And I didn't need the other Prime benefits.

But their hard selling it to the point of hostility to non-Prime customers (higher prices) has added an element of stubbornness to my objection to it. Both Prime and ordering on Amazon in general.
you're not wrong at all. it's clear that modern life/economy is too much for some people to deal with, and we as a society are learning how to cope with that. quite frankly the modern world is turning into a freakshow of epic proportions. media, social and otherwise, reflects that.

i say this as a libertarian -- we're going to have to come to some kind of socialist equilibrium, or else people are just going to keep eliminating themselves, quickly or slowly.

i think a lot of people just don't care if it continues.
Oh, I get it. People can live on top of the solar panels.
For C720s, I like distroshare.com. It has a number of Linux distros that have been optimized for the C720. I'll actually be installing their distro of ElementaryOS on a C720 tonight for a kid in our CoderDojo group.
Wait, what? This is ridiculous. Amazon is a shop first and foremost, and this is exactly the sort of thing that I'll drive me to other alternatives.

It's especially silly for games, where the console manufacturers offer their own stores (both for digital and physical copies of the games). Heck, if you're buying them digital, it's about as little friction as using Amazon, since they have your payment details from other online services you use through the system (like Xbox Live).
Equally bad.
Even if Snowden gets this assurance from the Norweigans, how can he be sure they're not lying?

E.g. the US tells Norway they should say "yeah sure we won't arrest and extradite you," then go back on their word and arrest him as soon as he enters the country. The US makes some under-the-table bribes or threats to be sure Norway goes along with this scheme.

Something along the lines of "It sure would be a shame if we tanked your economy by making it illegal for US businesses to operate in Norway...those juicy Internet taps Snowden claims we have, well we can't confirm or deny them, but we might or might not know certain delicate things that were said in private by Norwegian politicians, and we might or might not know about certain financial relationships between certain wealthy Norweigans and high-ranking politicians, and it sure would be a shame if the things we might or might not know became public and had unfortunate consequences for your party's political position...now let's talk about how you're going to handle this Snowden situation..."

Also as other posters have pointed out, the US could simply send a CIA team to kidnap or murder him. Norwegian counterintelligence is presumably a lot weaker than Russia's, and their politicians presumably a lot more afraid of the US, so it's probably a lot less risky for the US to run an op like that in Norway than in Russia.
I think she would be an absolutely terrible role model. She is a college dropout who built her company on marketing and unicorn farts without taking the time, or apparently even caring whether the science is right or wrong. We don't need role models like that. That's not something to aspire to. We already have lots of great role models in medicine and the biological sciences, including women with an entrepreneurial bent like Anne Wojcicki.
In the late 90s there were a lot of hucksters trying to get in on the new Internet trend, there were lots of bad companies then too.
Just because the cost to copy IP today is near nothing doesn't mean that there are not fixed costs into the generation of IP.

Also you're right, patents and copyrights are not there to create scarcity - an IP owner can use a license that allows absolutely everyone to use it. They exist to give the owner a timeframe with which to recooperate costs of IP generation (and yes, the copyright timeframe is too long but patents are reasonable).
Only if you are developing in space.

It is a way to generate CSS without going crazy. "Sass is a scripting language that is interpreted into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). [...] The newer syntax, "SCSS", uses block formatting like that of CSS."

I'd had basically the same thought, and I was more or less trying to reproduce how I got to it, hopefully with some references.

I completely agree that it somehow seems self-evident, but that's sort of weak tea.

If we've lost the ability to use inflation as a steering mechanism for the economy ( and boy does it look like we have ) then I think that explains much of our present pain and suffering. It is as if we've basically internalized inflation bad" back to our limbic system and we only react in the one direction now.

I don't know if this will help, but I read the rise of all the political ... unpleasantness in the 1930s - leading to the deaths of 4% of all humans in the 1940s - as a manifestation of this same phenomenon.
The energy calculation assumes the computation is irreversible. If you use reversible computing, there is no lower bound: you can compute as much as you want for as little energy as you want.

The time calculation assumes our current computers and disregards Moore's law.
Well you have more unique features from which you can do localization on.
Amazon believes it has enough brand stickiness that enough people don't even consider non-Amazon options that this will be an effective way to incentivize upgrades compared.to the cost in shoppers that do consider non-Amazon options. If there marginsnon the items are low enough this isn't that unlikely to be true, even if a large percentage of customers do consider other options.
Ignoring for a moment that Haskell doesn't accomplish the same goals as C++, getting caught up in expressions is something I've found to be indicative of amateur programming. The overall architecture of a piece of software is hugely more important to productivity, speed, and correctness.

Another thing: this is why we (tech) need to engage with politics.

I'm sorry you received downvotes for asking a question.

As Elon would suggest, let's take this down to first principles. In some ways, Germany, with its focus on carbon emissions and clean power is a great market for EVs. There is a big obstacle, however. Air resistance at highway speeds is proportional to the square of the velocity. Kinetic energy is also proportional to the square of the velocity. What this means, is that there is a bigger physics barrier to making an acceptable Li-ion battery EV to run long distances on the Autobahn. Battery tech is going to reach "awesome" levels for the US a lot sooner than it will reach "awesome" levels for Autobahn-stormers.

(In fact, you could probably work out the approximate timing of this occurring using graphs of industry-wide improvements in Li-ion batteries and extrapolating when it will reach 4x today's capacity/weight and capacity/cost as a back of the envelope calc.)
No they don't. American credit cards handle it the right way already with minimal technology around security. Make a good-faith attempt to validate, but generally treat the transaction as legitimate. If it was not, help law enforcement investigate, and make the compromised party whole as a cost of doing business. Bonus points if you can extort that last part from your vendor in the contract you have with them.
Great, would be nice to have and updated clang (seems to be using 3.5.1) and python3 (using 3.4.3). Generally its nice to point out the version of the compiler it's using somewhere as a note.
Comparing local-network performance with "random" cross-internet traffic IMHO isn't very useful, because there is a wide range for internet latency.

My wired desktop gets DNS responses from 8.8.8.8 nearly as if it were in my network, in way under 10 ms, ping responses in 2 ms or so. Accessing websites hosted in e.g. Korea takes >100 ms.

Add a congested wireless connection somewhere (WLAN or mobile network) and you can add another few hundred ms. And neither cross-continent nor congested wireless latency is going to go away.
In 2012 Citigroup forecast that Saudi Arabia would run out of oil in 2030. If true, there must have been considerable anxiety in the years preceding 9/11 as the Saudi government contemplated ways to offset its impending decline in reserves. Fortunately for the Saudis, 9/11 was the catalyst for the fall of Iraq, a country with the largest unproven oil reserves in the region, and ideally located near Saudi refineries and export infrastructure. In the book Hotel California: The Clandestine War in Iraq, the author repeatedly claims the Bush Administration was divorced from reality... its scary to think the United States was manipulated into deposing Sadaam for the benefit of Saudi Arabia.

I tried out Scrum at my company on a small team that matches these conditions, and it was incredible. I think the biggest points are the same value system, we all had the same standards for quality, and we were excited to try a new way of managing ourselves that we were open to adapting and being flexible about. And the trust to allow that to happen, and criticize the process without feeling like we were criticizing each other.

The Sprint Review sections were most beneficial, because we were all quick to say what we felt needed changing, and everyone was excited to try. If we did something radical, we could call a 1-week sprint instead, or plan the sprint that we could easily adjust it and start a new one if that method didn't work, just in case the new method ended up sucking.

The first month of it was weird, and eventually a few months in we were an extremely well-oiled machine running a system that was nothing like the original Scrum plan we followed, because we learned which parts worked best for us, and which didn't, and experimented with adding a few methods of our own to the system.

The rest of the company moved onto Agile/Scrum after seeing our small team, but I don't think the majority of them are handling it well at all. The process isn't adaptable, if devs speak up about things they don't like, the managers tell them to "trust the process" and give it time (BUT THE PROCESS IS ALL ABOUT CHANGING THE PROCESS AND NOT BLINDLY TRUSTING THE ORIGINAL PROCESS!!!), and many of them would rather not work in a management system that should adapt like that. I'll get asked for advice on why their daily standups aren't working, give feedback, "Well that would involve changing things, and we'd rather not do that..."

Really, they're just doing waterfall but with daily standups and a bi-weekly planning session which is mostly meaningless. Whatever, at least the team I'm on now is willing to play it the dynamic way (myself and another member of that original scrum team are in it), and we're enjoying it very much.
This is very cool. I'd really love to see a "how it works" blog post, particularly for the runnable snippets, and what your approach to protecting it from abuse and hacking is.
This happens a lot. There's a nightclub in Cambridge called Ballare (since 2003), but it is almost exclusively refered to by students as Cindies. There's another club, and I can't even recall what its "real" name is as "The Place" and "Life" were used interchangeably for it.
BMW and GM both have superior car designers, in my estimation. The problem is, management isn't telling them to design quite the right things.
