I don't think anyone or very few people believe that Aunt Jemima's is real maple syrup. Its popular number one because its cheap.

I'm probably in the minority but I can afford real maple syrup and buy Aunt Jemima's because I actually prefer the taste of it over maple syrup, not because I'm misinformed.

A better example of deceptive marketing would be Breyer's "ice cream" in the US having half of their flavors not legally allowed to be called ice cream anymore sold next to the real ice cream and their few remaining flavors that are actually ice cream with the same packaging.
I think most marketers believe that the products they're marketing have at least some valuable properties, and that their job is to ensure everyone understands what those properties are. That the product may, in some cases, be improperly used or applied is an implicit technicality that the consumer should understand and accommodate even if those improper uses are not highlighted in the marketing.

I think it's inappropriate to say that most marketing is actively malicious. I will agree that much of it is uncomfortable. I've lost a lot of business due to reticence to get into the mud on this, but I think I'm at the point where I believe it's a necessary evil that has to be engaged in, but handled with as much finesse and decency as possible.
Considering my viewpoint on hires being almost the opposite of that (an occasional bad hire is acceptable risk to get a good one) I'd be interested in the rationale.

But then, I've never been one to beat around the bush when it comes to parting ways with an employee who's clearly not working out on the team.
Small companies get on the list for free. Big companies have to pay. But they all get vetted by their "non-intrusive" guidelines.

> Part of honest writing is being candid about both positives and negatives, and every time I think about disclosing the negatives of my time at Twitter (of which there are plenty), it somehow feels unprofessional.

I really hate this about the tech industry.

edit:

This is really hitting home for me :/. I agree, it's a good barometer for when you should move on.
The only thing stopping me from getting an arm sleeve is knowing it will be there forever, and during future times when I can't have one.

Though if it lasts 12 months, by month 8 will I have a half-faded looking thing that I either have to retouch, or deal with until it fades completely?
Requires.io costs money to do a PR to private repos right?
He died at 130m stuck in a tight restriction, breathing a rebreather and after many attempts on freeing him self he died when he tried to switch to bailout gas. The reason why he didn't manage to do such an easy task is most likely related to the fact that he had been breathing heavily from the rebreather and because of that most likely suffered from hypercapnia (to much Co2)...
I knew I was getting old when viewing tattoos.

I used to look at tattoos, and think about the artist's ability, what's the meaning, what body part is the tattoo emphasizing.

I now look at a tattoo, and wonder is that a tattoo, or is the liver compromised, producing less platelets, causing the person to bruise easily?
> How does PostgreSQL compare to VoltDB?

If you don't know the difference, you probably want Postgres.

VoltDB is a specialty database for things like high frequency trading. It wouldn't make sense to use for, say, a consumer app or web startup.
I know this is a joke, but I am unsure if you're pointing it directly at Tesla. To clarify, Tesla does not have a bug bounty program that I was able to find for their car software.
For the non-Italians: Umberto Eco is an extremely interesting figure for Italians.

Everybody admires his extremely deep knowledge of the Italian language and its nuisances, I would even dare to say "unrivaled" in our present day.

On the other hand, certain books he wrote are considered extremely complicated to grok, or too academic.
Preferably tomatoes grown in volcanic soil, like San Marzanos.

It is well worth buying one can of several different brands of tomato sold in your locale, and making experimental taste-test batches with all other variables held constant. With good quality inputs, you can beat the pre-made jarred marinaras every single time, using nothing more than a very basic recipe and a minimum of cooking skill.

Exercise caution. Once you know how to make a good sauce, you will never be able to stand eating at Olive Garden again.
Ignore, pretend, you'll still be wrong. I'll call it like I see it.
MySQL vs PostgreSQL - Why you shouldn't use MySQL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emgJtr9tIME

Self-explanatory, really.
Snowplow is only loosely hard coded to AWS. I'm using it and breaking it free is only a few hundred lines of code.

For example, rerouting Snowplow's Kinesis collector into Kafka is 114 lines, and that includes logging, metrics, etc - I basically just had to extend the AbstractSink object in their scala collector. Reading from Kafka is another couple of hundred lines, similarly writing to files.
If the existing was the left side and the new was the right, would you feel the same way?

I would definitely feel a lot safer on the left side, which is one of the main goals of night lighting.
The biggest difference is that Convox is Convox...

AWS is awesome but their values might not exactly align with your organization.

There are general advantages to letting the Convox team and community guide you through your cloud journey.

We value developer experience where AWS simply doesn't. Our plans include things AWS will never add to EBS like automating dashboards, monitoring and alerts.

We are moving a lot faster. Convox has swap and CloudWatch Logs integration where ECS doesn't.
Err, no. Python probably isn't even in the top 5 of languages startups choose for their main stack.
That's a very new service and only for open-source projects on GitHub... command line FTW and works for projects hosted anywhere.
If you need to do this, I would recommend looking at Transcrypt: https://github.com/elasticdog/transcrypt
I have failed to see evidence that the software was faulty.

If anything, it tried to do what it was supposed to: stop the satellite from spinning.

From the report:

> Feb 28, JAXA sent the commands to update the RCS control parameter based on the center of mass changes by deployment of the EOB. Through the post-incident investigation, it is confirmed the RCS control parameter on Feb 28th was not appropriate.

So the software worked as designed, but was fed crappy data.
We tried out "as the crow flies", OSM with the OSRM Distance Matrix API, and the Google Maps Distance Matrix API. We're currently using Google API although we may switch back to OSRM for scaling purposes.
What are you using for calculating the time or distances between the services? (Edit: okay, saw another comment stating you are using Google Matrix API)

Basically you need a distance matrix for your vehicle routing problem.

BTW: the GraphHopper Directions API uses jsprit to solve VRP etc problems: https://graphhopper.com/#os-comparison
It's a bad practice, because git makes keys practically irrevocable. It's not enough to rotate encryption keys, because the old ciphertexts are in the git history; you have to rotate the underlying secrets as well (people don't do this and shouldn't have to).

Don't store encrypted secrets in git if you can avoid it.
Can it provide any real-time guarantees? The main reason why I would change OS on the Raspberry Pi 3 is to get real-time behavior.
Bingo.

I've come to realise myself, cooking something very edible is not hard. Buy a physical cook book so as to not get distracted on the internet, and just try some things. The first couple tries at a new recipe might turn out slightly weird, so what? You'll still get the satisfaction of having produced something yourself, it won't kill you, and it'll be a whole lot healthier than ordering or microwaving fast food. Plus you'll know exactly what's in it because you put it there.

Should you ever not have time to stand around in the kitchen, a loaf of bread, some jam and ham should do it. Add in some bacon, spread, whatever, and you've got dinner ready to go in the time it takes to take all of that out of the fridge. Heck, slice a couple pickles! There's so many ways to eat well and tasty if you just try for a moment.

Though of course, not getting fucked over by your ingredients requires you to look at them before buying. Hoo-hah.
MySQL is considered more "old school" and not great at being standards compliant when installed with default settings. See https://twitter.com/robconery/status/189086889486192640

Also, MySQL is run by Oracle...and Oracle a horrible company run by horrible people that behave horribly, and should never ever be trusted in any form. Any developer relying or Oracle code should not be trusted ever again, and Oracle consultants are the vilest form of life on earth.

Did I mention I don't like Oracle?
> Also a concern. If it's gone in a year, what does it look like in 6 months?

Once the nature of the decay is worked out I could see an awesome opportunity for tattooists to artistically incorporate it for evolving designs.
One potential problem: if you, say, test out self-hosted alongside GA, and get different numbers, people are going to question the value of the self-hosted thing.
On one level I agree with you, but the whole point of a corporate structure is to give a collective effort the legal identity of an individual so that administrative efficiency and profit can be maximized. It's no coincidence that virtually every stock-based corporation has a strictly hierarchical governance structure culminating in the office of a chief executive, notwithstanding the existence of boards and presidents. these chief executives are paid staggering amounts of money in return for managing the wealth and activities of the corporation productively.

Yet when we find examples of a large corporation creating a vicious circle with easily observable negative externalities, suddenly a corporation is a diffuse network of different products and market actors which is impossible to control, manage, or monitor, and whose activities must not be interfered with at the behest of regulators or the public itself, lest some intangible market equilibrium be disturbed.

It seems to me that this is an example of investors wishing to have their cake and eat it. Either they want the potential of high profits driven by a singular business vision...and which incurs responsibility for outcomes commensurate with the degree of executive authority available to the management, or they want a maximally free market of atomistic competition that is not subject to the whims of trusts, conglomerates and so on. Society cannot afford both options.
The whole UI/UX has been app-fied. The most common device an average person uses has a touch screen interface. Writing on an address bar is old. Google is now their personal assistant and facebook replaced their tv.
A bit unfair ... they stole our phrase "routing as a service" !1! ;)

That's what the discussed padding patch does (except to only padding to 64bytes on most platforms). There's a downside though - on low concurrency the padding reduces the cache hit ratio sufficiently enough to cause a slowdown.

Given we're in code freeze anyway, I've not spent a lot of though on that yet; but I suspect that rearchitecting things so the lines are dirtied fewer times, is the better fix; with less potential for regressions at lower client counts.
Current dev of Mugenmonkey here - didn't expect to see the site posted here of all places. The site has been around since 2012, but I took over in 2014 and added the DS2, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3 planners. It's been popular among the enthusiast Dark Souls players for years, but has gotten some more mainstream attention since the DS3 planner was released.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.
I explained in more detail in another comment here, but I don't directly install requirements so install first solutions like pip-review and pip list --outdated don't work for me.
I would rent all that if it was as easy as Spotify, Google music etc.

Although a house is not comparable.
I'll admit that I don't have any real source for the claim that most people think "maple syrup" is maple syrup. I only have anecdotes and assumptions. It is certainly possible that most people already understand that "maple syrup" is not really maple syrup in the same way that it's understood things labeled "juice" are not really juice unless there's some additional indicator of authenticity.

My personal intuition is that people probably assume some sweeteners and preservatives are added but that somewhere in there, there is an actual base of maple syrup, meaning some product that is derived from the sap of a maple tree. In fact, however, there is not.

To be totally honest, I don't think any hard study on this subject would be any more useful than my anecdotes, assumptions, and intuitions because I think the chance that it would be manipulated by people with an interest in one outcome or another is too high.
There's been a large migration off of mysql to postgres simply because Oracle got the rights to mysql when they purchased Sun. That is what made me consider, ditching mysql.

The final straw came when I stood up a mysql 5.6 instance to use as a data warehouse for about 5TB of data (15 billion rows). To my horror after spending a few weeks on this project I discovered that mysql only supported a small subset of the SQL language. Most of the needed sql features for data warehouse queries were simply not there (no WITH clause, no ROW_NUMBER(), only one sequence per table, no schema support, and many others that SQL report ninjas love to use)

With that I had to go back to management and convince them to put more time into the project so we could try again with postgresql. There was a large learning curve to go to postgres. It was just different in many areas, but at the same time, reminded me alot of IBM DB2 (both were a product of the 1980's if you look at the history). Postgres fit into our plans nicely, it actually had a full blown intelligent query parser and optimizer unlike mysql. From what I learned, mysql's purpose was to stop people from using text files as storage points in the early 2000's. But once you graduate from that, it's onward to postgres from there.
Death from starvation isn't exactly a widespread problem in the developed world. Homelessness is the more realistic outcome.
> Wouldn't it make more sense to just be certain you want one before you get it and save hundreds of dollars?

Sure. But how can you be certain? I have no idea what it's like to have a tattoo, or whether I'd regret it. Would I be too self-conscious about having it? Or would I enjoy seeing it in the dark?

I've had one specific one in mind for most of my life, but I don't know if I want it. If I were able to get a fading one, I'd be way more likely to jump on it. The increased cost is nothing compared to being able to decide if I actually like the damn thing.
PostgreSQL has continued to be one the best open source en-devours so far. An amazingly smart and welcoming community that turns out arguabley the best in class relational database. Kudos and keep innovating team PG.
Thanks for this suggestion -- this may well be the cause. Perhaps I'll start trying spaced repetition learning.
seems like that would be pretty tough to get reliable stats on something like that.

I think you misunderstood k-mcgrady. The $50-100 is for the new ink, as per the company developing it. k-mcgrady quoted about the same as you for the existing cost for a tattoo.
Yes, you could use Minoca to manage GPIO and other low level hardware. One area where we're working to excel is power management. There's so little in the OS that we're able to go very idle, and stay there for long periods. Another area we're focused on is component level servicing: being able to update components within the kernel while maintaining a high degree of stability.

To user mode we'd like to present a largely compatible interface, while in the kernel we want to innovate using new designs and a clean slate.
LC does. I'm widely diversified on their automated system, but I have occasionally seen a credit for about 10% of a given loan that had been charged off, along with maybe 10% of that charged as a collections fee to me.
It's not about your trust in the service, it's about the trust that's present between various members of society. AirBnB is setting tenants against landlords (by encouraging former to do subletting, which leads latter to add terms to the agreements that otherwise wouldn't be needed), neighbours against neighbours (c.f. all the complains from people who'd like to be asked before having their apartment building turned into cheap-ass hotel) and people against cities (by encouraging violations of zoning laws).

Trust on a social level is something that keeps civilization together. It's what lets you do business and deal with people without constantly looking over your shoulder worrying that everyone is out there to fuck you over. AirBnB makes a lot of their money by eroding this trust.
you could argue that you support either or both, but draw the line at free publicity for paid journalism

It's really not necessary, especially with white. Before that move 17 you can deviate at virtually any point and end up with an even game. As black it is harder to be really equal without knowing theory against an opponent who does, but black has a huge information advantage (you only play 1 obscure defence to 1.e4, white has to know them all).

What distorts your view is that many chess players _like_ to study theory. The Sicilian with its famous counter attacking situations! The King's Indian with its famous attacks on opposite flanks and a closed center! I have seen many GM games like that and I want to play like that too.

When both players are like that, they play into really sharp and hard to understand lines, where it really matters if you know the theory one move deeper. There it does, because such positions are often extremely sharp, and as you _can_ prepare them often, that is worthwhile.

But in the other games where you meet an opponent who plays something quiet that you've never seen before on move 3, it's all useless. And such moves are a perfectly legitimate and strong choice.

Anyway, go to any chess club, and ask around which players have memorized the most opening theory. It'll be the 1700 guys, not the masters. Memorizing theory doesn't actually make you stronger.
I agree to an extent, but was taking a deliberately condescending tone because "I hunted through twitter and found something unrelated to get offended by" didn't strike me as being a useful debate to bring in here. But I probably should have communicated that in a less passive-agressive way.

> We are all aware that the law has various (mostly arbitrary) limits.

I disagree that the limits in this domain in existing law are arbitrary; the Constitutional, statute, and case law rules have fairly clear motivation and rationale.
filing appropriately =/ hiding funds that the law states should be taxed.

deducting tuition is filing honestly. investing funds into a corporate entity and then having that entity issue you a loan, though legal, is immoral. it's hoarding funds at the expense of the community.

im not saying that people should or shouldnt pay taxes on X or Y income, or that our current tax system is perfect, but i dont think the moral line here is as hard to draw as you're trying to make it
Can you comment on your experience? One of my doubts is if I should go the QML / Qt Quick Controls way or the standard Qt Widgets (with PyQt).. For instance, do you think you could implement your app's interface with Qt Widgets by itself?

The problem is that I know how far I can go with Qt Widgets, but on the same way, I would like to build something more "modern" and Qt Widgets may be quite limited..
I bet that depends on branding. If Viv ends up being the "front-end", they probably collect the commission. If they end up whitelabling the Viv "product(s)", then whoever has their name on it.

Could be both.
Given that evangelical is synonymous with believing something that is demonstrably false, I don't see why we should be clamoring to include such people among those that will shape the way future generations think. Just because US Republicans are underrepresented or discriminated against does not mean that universities are not doing a good job of maintaining a diverse faculty. It could be argued (and has, many times over) that the spectrum between the Marxist and American Democratic parties is much more representative of the rest of the world's liberal-to-conservative spectrum than would be the US definition of liberal and conservative. Additionally, I would expect libertarians to be much better represented among faculty since their ideology is, at least, logically consistent and doesn't contain the hate/discrimination endemic to the Republican platform.

I think Republicans need to face the fact that they just nominated someone who's entire platform lacks even basic critical thought. Even if you put aside how odious and xenophobic what Trump has proposed, it's basically impossible to implement any of it anyways and anyone with an ounce of critical reasoning skills would easily realize that. And the one area where colleges cannot compromise on the faculty is in the area of critical reasoning skills. More than anything else, the purpose of a college education is to learn critical reasoning skills.
Not the most sound method but I was demonstrating the relative popularity of programming languages to my SO the other day using find in the Who's Hiring thread for May and python was the most popular.

Surprised me as well.
Personally, I wish Foobar2000 was available for the Mac. It is my favorite GUI player (I personally love mpc/mpd).
i see no implication of interventionless "most popular."

especially on facebook. each person's trending stories could be different and be presented based on what it thinks is popular AND applicable to you. all i see is "here is a subsample of some of our most popular stories." do you and your friends have the same trending stories at the same time? cuz i get regional stories. im sure my friends in other regions dont get those stories. it is quite obviously targeting me based on something besides a global trending list.

nothing on facebook is ever organic. and ive never seen facebook claim anything was.
