Modern Family, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, The Middle, Raising Hope, How I Met Your Mother, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt were all fairly recent examples of decent modern sitcoms (and wow that list is bigger than I thought it'd be), and for the most part, generally centered around middle class families/people. Some are a bit more outlandish and over-the-top at times, but that can also be their appeal.

By modern, I also mean they follow a continuing story arc episode-to-episode, so while you could watch any episode in isolation, you get a lot more if you know backstory and the characters. They're also all "single camera" shows (no laugh track) which IMHO is a much better style, and allows them to be more creative, have a continuing story, and frankly, be funnier than the (pause for laughter) lines in a show like Big Bang Theory.
More of a motor. Doesn't generate its own power, but does have the capacity to provide motive power.
Off-topic, but I was thinking that maybe it would be possible to make a bot detection that would run in the browser.

For example, if the visitor didn't move its mouse mouse or never clicks or touches anything after the page is loaded, then it is a bot, perhaps?

This would work for scraper bots that use PhantomJS.
Where was this general agreement and skepticism about the industry in the comments for Mims' "tech bubble" article yesterday?
The problem with co-locating teams in cheaper areas is that it drastically reduces your supply of labor. A lot of developers already live in the Bay Area and even more are willing to move there.

Relatively few live in Dayton, Ohio (random example) and even fewer are willing to live there.

The advantage of remote working is you can draw from talent all over the world (or at least all over the US) without having to worry about the fact that a lot of people would be unwilling to live in your particular LCOL area.
>most working class jobs are boring.

Seinfeld proved mundane everyday life can be funny and entertaining for audiences.

The other thing is you can have someone living with the challenges and lifestyle of the working class without showing their actual work.
Discursive ad hominem, yawn. Discuss the implications of theft being okay if you are hungry, not the background of the person who suggested they disagree with that notion.
This is why it's so important for your prison system to have a strong culture of sexual abuse. It allows the society to pretend they have a liberal justice system, while in reality all crimes are punished by rape.
The article basically ignored reality television for some reason. Many, many shows include real-life middle-class people: Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Chopped, Ice Road Truckers, American Idol, Extreme Home Makeover, Amazing Race, Jersey Shore, Alaska: The Last Frontier, etc.

The article mentions Dirty Jobs and Undercover Boss, but it's not clear to me the bountiful reality shows don't undermine the entire thesis of the article.
Terrain-Adaptive Locomotion Skills Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
On Nested Models (and the problem with inappropriate re-used of data)
Angular is still a lot more prevalent than React in most of the world. A lot of the big companies using React also use Angular - it's not so simple.

Most companies are doing the responsible thing and holding off on worrying about migration until Angular 2 stabilizes more. Even if one wanted to do a complete rewrite due to poor Angular 1 app code, one can then evaluate all options from scratch and choose the best option for their app.

Every library adds abstractions on top of JS - React is no different with your complaint of unexpected behavior.

This reads as an overly emotional post without applying engineering - "this sounds too hard so I'll just run away to another solution" is the vibe I get.
Zoopla's average London room rental is £552 per month. That's without adding bills, council tax, food etc. I'm well aware better value for money options exist (I have one) but you can't use that as a basis for assuming the average turfed-out social housing tenant is going to find them. Needless to say, the housing and other expenditure figures generally used in "Living Wage" calculations are much higher than that.

Of course, there's an argument that subsidising people that clearly couldn't afford to live in the area they grew up in isn't a particularly good use of funds (compared with subsidising gap years, early retirements and stay at home partners?) but I can't see the left buying it. Or anyone on the right being keen to find the extra gross £140bn pa you still need to find even once you've reduced disability and housing spend to zero.
Ask: The Apple bluetooth keyboard hurts my hands, does this affect anyone else?
I use the Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard (MC184LL/B). A typical day is 10 hours of email and coding. My hands are big, thumb to pinky, I can cover the tilde and plus keys. I type Dvorak, use a standing desk and am very aware of posture. I'm 31. By about 10am the left thumb starts hurting (left command key) and by the end of the day I start using dictation or just going home. Does anyone else have trouble with this popular keyboard?
7 fundamental technical SEO questions to answer with log analysis
I think the reason why people have a hard time understanding what you're saying is because unless you've experienced _systemic_ difficulty in your life it's very hard to differentiate it from _personal_ difficulty. Put in a less rigorous way, if you've never truly had to fight against a system that seems constructed to see you fail it would be hard to understand how this is different from, and much worse than, difficulty that stems from smaller, instantaneous issues that present roadblocks or troubles in your life.
I wouldn't call Monk, Psych, White Collar, Suits, and Burn Notice "great series". Formulaic detective/action/buddy TV at best.

Mr Robot is a little better, but itself is no "Wire" (or any other really great show).
Nevermind the fact that in poorer areas, the likelihood of "justifiable theft" under this doctrine, one would have to imagine, is greater.

Consumption in the absence of real production is not sustainable.

At some point the reduction in margins means the shop worker/repairman/etc that would be paid for his work no longer can be supported/afforded, adding to the poor. At some point shop owners, current and would be, would choose not to do business in then-marginal districts of town: the underserved and marginally poor would be more likely to be further underserved and see the balance tip towards poverty.

All things being equal, there is nothing wrong with compassion. But there are other, better ways. This ruling is neither compassionate, moral, nor ultimately effective. When one considers the unseen consequences of this sort of thinking, along with the abandonment of a legitimate purpose of government, in this myopic ruling, one can only marvel at the direction of Italian society.
Jenkins 2.0 First Impressions
I think you are right!

We should provide aid for people who are in danger of starvation, but it does not give anybody right to steal from fellow human.

I have a personal experience with possible abuse.

I saw a man, probably a foreign (so he is probably not supposed to be familiar with local aid system), with a sign that he needs money for food because he is starving and he indeed did not look alright.

After considering the situation (well, to be honest he can be pretending), I decided to give the man 10 euros because if he really is starving, he should not stay there to collect small coins, but also as a test, such that he could be given further directions when he really is in need.

So, he took the money, hid it and continued his act.

This article is making a really big deal out of bids. While the trend is encouraging, let's wait and see if the winning bidders can actually deliver at the prices they bid before getting too excited.
The original article is about about someone stealing food from a supermarket. Yes, the supermarket is the rightful owner, but they aren't going to actually consume the food.
>Isn't it simple ? most working class jobs are boring.

That wasn't a problem in the past. Besides, nothing more boring than being a regular cop, lawyer, doctor etc.

It's the treatment that makes it look exciting, not the patrolling around for 8 hours and eating doughnuts reality of being a cop.

And you wouldn't believe how tedious being a doctor is, either in a private practice or at a hospital.

Nothing like ER or House at all -- it's the social interactions and plot scripts that make it all interesting, not the actual real life jobs.
I do not like such comparisons, as it (like animals) leaves the impression that such actions are just fine with anybody besides humans.
Anecdata, but Apple Maps still places my address as a block and a half way from where it actually is. I know this because the occasional Postmate uses Apple Maps and calls me, unable to find my location. I live within a block of Moscone Center in SF.
Modularize CSS the react way
I've not been privileged all my life. I have a dislike for fish because of some of things and situations we were in.

It is never, ever ok to steal. Stealing from a supermarket is stealing from a person or people. Just because you cannot name who is affected doesn't mean it isn't people. It is black and white. The morality and legality are in alignment in this regard. This whole "shades of grey" leads to the blackness that destroys people and civilizations.

The whole point of government social programs is to provide for survival. There are organizations that provide and places to go.

Man, the universe has a cruel sense of irony sometimes.
Of particular interest here is also webpki:

https://github.com/briansmith/webpki

Which is designed to validate TLS certificates. This is doing the ASN.1 parsing and signature verification in a zero-copy, memory safe way, built on top of ring for the core crypto primitives.

Now, this isn't a full implementation of what you would need for replacing OpenSSL for certificate handling (and also isn't yet complete); in particular, this is extremely limited in scope as only being for client-side certificate verification. This particular OpenSSL issue was when parsing and re-encoding certificates, which is out of scope for webpki. But it is a good starting point for demonstrating memory-safe and efficient handling of complex tasks like parsing and verifying of TLS certificates.
There are plenty of codebases (including large ones) written in C that have a low number of vulnerabilities, even compared to projects written in higher level languages (setting aside Rust et al because they aren't that popular yet). It requires discipline and care, but it's not impossible or even that hard if you're a skilled C programmer. OpenSSL has louder vulnerabilities than most software because it's (1) very old, (2) very bad code, and (3) relied upon by heaps of software. There are lots of things wrong with OpenSSL, and those are the reasons that it's vulnerable. We should address the real issues instead of using C as a scapegoat.
These old spy planes are perfect examples of what you can do when you build something for a single purpose.

Planes like the F35 are designed by someone who read a bunch of blogs about the perfect way to design a plane. You don't design a plane, you design a plane framework on which you can add whatever feature the customer asks for.

A lot like SW design these days. We all know this doesn't work well and yet...

I second this idea of "I wish someone would build this". The freelancer thread is more generic. I sometimes need specific things like "Install wordpress on AWS EC2 with nginx" etc type of project. This way, I only hear from the freelancers (hopefully) who have done this before.
He said he dropped it because he couldn't find a way to make it fun. I'd look to other games in the same vein instead of pushing for this specific one to be released.
Learning is always a plus we agree. I mean failure in a sense that it didn't get any love or money and didn't turn out to be what you imagined.
Pretty impressive. They need to work on cheaper batteries now.
> But, also, the government has, by and large, shifted its engineering focus away from systems design and more towards systems engineering and integration. Also, in general, the government cannot pay the same kinds of salaries that contractors do. So, even if the government had wanted to take a more active role in systems design, it would have found itself lacking the right people to do so effectively.
This doesn't excuse the lack of requirements, but it does offer an explanation as to why the government didn't take a more active role in design.

Unfortunately this is a trend that's happening all over government. There's this pervasive idea that contractors can do it better so over time the government has less and less full-time employees with the technical expertise they need. Glad you brought up this point because this is a prime example of how this philosophy can be very costly.

It does seem like the program has been running better under Bogdan but at the same time you still have many staunch defenders who refuse to acknowledge reality (like the USMC). Maybe it'll all work itself out but I feel like realistically we'll probably need to produce more legacy aircraft (Superhornets, F16E's) as a stopgap at the least. At worst they may have to short cycle the F-35 and bring the replacement(s) sooner than anticipated.
When you're starving and alone, you're not the same person. You can feel the civility, bon-ton and good education vanishing, you don't even think about it. People will give you food if they see you in this state. If you can't get it any other way, you will steal.

A compiler, interpreter bug in terms of attack surface is much different than a programming language where every single string and array access might cause memory corruption.

That's because the British think of class as some BS blue-blooded royal thing.

Beckham is by no means "working class" -- though he might have been born as such.

He is just not royalty and hadn't grown up from families owing castles and being members in the house of lords.

Putin: The one-man show the West doesn’t understand
I don't think a show featuring a lawyer, college professor, media personality and whatever the heck it is Barney does is a counterpoint at all. All those jobs are upper class, college degree requiring positions.

Other than a few episodes where Marshal (the lawyer) contemplates a job he doesn't love to pay off the massive consumer debt accrued by his wife (the teacher), the money problems and job tradeoffs on the show are very much in the classless hanging out genre the article describes.

Even the consumer debt is from spending on luxury goods, which is surprising for a teacher supporting a law school student in New York, ostensibly the arrangement in the first few seasons.
I think everybody has tools they aren't compatible with.

When I've had trouble with tendonitis in my hands I have often found that doing push-ups every day for a few weeks can help. I had it so bad back when I was 27 that I thought I might have to quit keyboarding and that turned it around completely.
I'm not trying to condescend people who aren't financially independent. Maybe the use of the word "children" wasn't the best, because I can see how it gives off that vibe. I am just pointing out what I have observed.

Most people at the age of 23 are not in a position to support themselves yet, which is kind of off-topic w.r.t my original point anyway.

The fact that there are people like you who were able to work hard and make good things happen at a young age doesn't nullify the fact that the average 23 year old is still dependent on their parents.
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;

-- The Mikado (1885)

Go back just 150 years ago, and Slavery is legalized. 250 years ago, and slavery is widespread. IMO, its going to be rather difficult to be "fully human" when you are legally considered 3/5ths of a person.

Go back 250 years ago, and the entire concept of "privacy" and "security within your home" doesn't even exist (to free-men. Obviously not granted to slaves, who were raped and sold off by their owners. Don't forget that Thomas Jefferson was a slaver, despite being officially against it). The USA is one of the first countries in the world to formally recognize the right to privacy through the 4th Amendment.

Go back 1000 years ago, and you have people dying of the Plague, and divorce court being settled by TRIAL BY COMBAT, to the death! You aren't really a person unless you're from a noble house either.

http://www.ripleys.com/blog/trial-by-combat/

But yeah, go complain about privacy rights. I raise you SLAVERY. Modern civil rights for all people is a concept that is only 50 years old or so, since the 1960s when the concept began to solidify.

Again, ignore history at your peril. Today is the most peaceful, prosperous time of history. And Pax Britannica (the period of peace in the 1800s, the time period when "The Mikado" was written) is also relatively peaceful compared to hundreds of years before that time.

But Pax Americana stands head-and-shoulders better than Pax Britannica. We have women's sufferage / women's rights. Gays aren't literally put to death (even smart gays, like Allan Turing, would be able to live in peace today). Jim Crow laws don't exist anymore, and the Ku Klux Klan aren't lynching randoms, at least out in the open, like they used to.

And of course, we aren't killing tens-of-thousands of innocent civilians at a time (because killing everybody is much easier when conquering a nation than trying to rule).

------------

> Nope. The claim was that this is because of countries wanting to dominate each other. I say it's despite of that.

Imperialism is dead dude. Let it go and rejoice in the present.

On the other hand, if you're the kind of person that "The Mikado" is describing, perhaps you can't. Any century but this, any country but your own??
func<a,b>(c,d) isn't faster than func(a,b,c,d) if the compiler sees that a,b are constants and the call to func is in the same file as its definition; the only thing CPU+GPU code adds here relatively to CPU-only code is, perhaps you need to write a wrapper along the lines of func_ab(c,d) { func(a,b,c,d) }, a bit ugly but the code is still pretty simple and maintainable. (And unlike the case with templates at least you can make sense of the symbol table etc. etc.)

As to runtime errors because of misspelling a parameter name, this is going to be fixed the first time you run the program and you live happily ever after; I don't mind these errors in Python very much and I don't mind it in C programs using strings to refer to variable names in whatever context that may happen.

Overall the amount of "dynamism" in CPU/GPU programming IMO does not result in wasting almost any optimization opportunities nor does it make the program significantly harder to get right, but I'm prepared to change my mind given counterexamples (certainly in Python it's really easy to demonstrate missed optimization opportunities relatively to C due to its dynamism... The amount of dynamism in CPU/GPU programming however is IMO trivial and hence the issues resulting from it are also rather trivial.)

Man, that kept me up many a night before my kid was born! She turned out to be amazing, though. Definitely didn't get it from me.

We had to rely on EBT (food stamps) and Medicaid when she was little and we were both in college. Medicaid was amazing, at least for someone who couldn't afford to go to a doctor for a decade or more beforehand, but besides that perk the welfare benefits for having a child basically balanced out the increased costs of raising one. Can't say how well this would scale with n+1 kids though.
These are impossible to get and the people who are getting them are using them for stuff like this? No disrespect to Stephen but I'd love to see some ambitious projects using the PI-Z outside of dedicated movie players and Game Boy emulators.

Babbage wrote a program we have no record today.

This is silly. His computer are the evidence. You cannot build a computer without thinking about (and writing) programs.

ideas, and that Lovelace merely help him writing.

In a perfect world this may work (arguably it wouldn't be needed).

How does it address professional thieves who steal to order, now they can just argue that they were hungry. Frozen meat is often stolen as it has a high value to weight ratio.

Many small business owners are far from rich, can they steal from their suppliers to make up for the losses?
Those prices are dropping drastically too as manufacturers have been opening manufacturing facilities and the technology continues to improve.
Well, if anything why not exclude the Swine (e.g. the countries that fostered and collaborated with Nazis)?
