In Lithuanian, both first and last names have feminine and masculine forms.

For women names almost always end in 'a' or 'e', and for men names usually end in 's' and rarely 'a'. There is also a different suffix on the surname for married and unmarried women.

Was just saying the other day how it sucks seeing the web change. It's like when musicians complain about the music industry being over produced and too commercialized. I remember back in the 90's how excited I was just by making links underline or change color (before CSS.) Thought it was the coolest thing ever. The web used to be a place to find people who shared the same interests and I feel that is no longer the case. Everything is hyper focused on metrics; likes, re-blogs, shares, comments, etc. It's pointless.
Cavalleria Rusticana – Intermezzo
does it matter much? I'd suggest working in the language you know best. You can always improve performance of slow code. Struggling to learn a language and write a game handicaps yourself, because you've got to learn a whole language to express yourself. Computers are super fast now, you can write a fine platformer in any language. If you're going 3d, the heavy lifting is handled on the video card.
It's an extremely large language, with most of the things that are normally availible as libraries, defined as part of the language itself. So of course the conversion is going to take a while, especially if the input data isn't very well formatted.

I don't really see how difficulty porting document sets to a nicer format translates into "This language isn't/doesn't foo", since that's more human error than the fault of the language itself.

It's $150 per 50 users per month. You can use our hosting or get it installed on your server (Debian) for the same price. We have around a hundred paying customers in Poland of various size, one in USA. The biggest implementation is 10k users every day, around 200 tables. So it scales well. If interested drop me a line, agsamek at Gmail.

And BTW - the system works in English and has some documantation inlined in Schema Editor. We will also do English docs. In the meantime we will provide you with good human support :)
smart enough to see the illogic of religious belief

A lot of religious people don't take their beliefs literally. It's more stories that they know are just stories (or just don't care if they're literally true or not), but that illustrate some important point and provide a shared context for talking about it.

Like how it doesn't matter if the "640k should be enough for anybody" quote is actually true or not, or Paul Bunyan and John Henry and the rest of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_civil_religion , or the Story of Mel the Real Programmer, or the 500 mile email, etc. They illustrate important principles and shared cultural values, and strict historical accuracy isn't actually that important to their usefulness.

hold more complex thoughts than simple prejudices.

The annoying thing about prejudices, is they're often not so much flat wrong as deliberately under-fitting the data for performance reasons or bootstrapping a model for a new environment with data from an old environment. For example, there's a lovely article about how affirmative action quotas encourage racism here: http://heterodoxacademy.org/2016/05/12/the-amazing-1969-prop... .

Common core is _what_ they should be teaching. Soft skills is _how_ they should be teaching.

I'm fine if you want to hate on the Common Core like so many, but these points are so completely unrelated this argument doesn't make any sense. We aren't min/maxing teachers like we would with our character in an MMORPG, these are human people.

You should start by setting up a proper environment on your PC that is "distraction free". You are not going to be more productive on a phone when it comes to writing web apps. All is required on a PC is a cli with SSH and a browser. I'm saying that as I'm typing on a $250 dollar laptop that I use everyday for Java development, and it still boots under 10 seconds on windows 10.

In the early days, qb has only the builder api. However, I also wanted to have a table builder from structs. Currently, the builder has completely separate implementation from session. The session is the structural composition of builder, engine, metadata, etc. You can see more examples in https://qb.readme.io/docs/the-builder

Feedbacks & Contributions are welcome about the builder.
I don't write code on my smartphone but I do some planning work on it. Basically any editor will do that can sync to a pc, I use a combination of Journey & Google Keep currently.

My workflow is essentially to think through the problems im going to encounter, make lists of everything, define naming for things that have to be thought through. (All these things are easy to do on a phone) So when I go to actually write the code I can just reference my document and essentially only write the logic on a computer.

I'm sure lots of people would appreciate not having to work 3 jobs up to 60h/week. Scaling back to max 30-35 hours like in more progressive countries sounds interesting. c.f. Michael Moore's "where to invade next" (I usually don't like his style, but I liked that movie)

A few countries are in talks about converting most types of social benefits into a flat garanteed minimum revenue (which is then taxed). Countries considering this include Canada and a few EU countries (Switzerland are probably the most advanced in this discussion).

Instead of racing to the bottom, competing for bad jobs, we should level the playing field and give people more options in order to adapt to this new economy. Although I guess it's obvious by now that I'm Canadian :)
I don't know if it's fair to say that ext4 "started" in 2006, given that it was an evolution of ext3, which was an evolution of ext2 (which I assume was an evolution of ext?), to the point that you can still mount an ext2 filesystem as a very feature-limited ext4 filesystem.

I hate this, because it's made me cynical. I don't even try to un-subscribe from emails like this anymore, I just mark them as spam. And that hurts the good companies that do listen and unsubscribe you easily, because now they are being looked at as spammy.
I do believe it will affect white collar work just as much.
I use http://www.textasticapp.com/, http://omz-software.com/pythonista/ on iPad and haven't find a trouble on the write part. Is ok with touch and decent with a keyboard.

The trouble is the lack of feedback. Pythonista can run the script, but if for example I need to edit a django project I'm out of luck.

With ssh + VIM/Emac this could work, but then I find it harder (and I don't like, don't wanna learn that!) even for basic stuff (specially, without a keyboard). Some people are sucesfully with it.

My dream is that textastic/pythonista or similar integrate SSH and the ability to run commands against a server, and have the source sync on save.

Not sure if counts, but I have used 7 inch nexus 7 + bt keyboard to write my diploma thesis in latex.

The writing experience was decent, and I liked how few distractions I got when writing.

Was even able to do corectures without the bt-keyboard, combination of Vim-touch and thumb-keyboard (that has easier access to braces) made it reasonably possible.
I see that as a very clear example of manipulation, actually.

They presented a meaningless price when in situations where potential customers would compare them with competitors. Only when they can be sure that a customer would likely not check the price anymore (because they think they already know it or because of psychological reasons), they show the actual amount.

That's a very clear case of improving their own situation (better conversion rates) by worsening their customers' situation (higher likelihood of overspending, reduced ability to compare prices) and making them act against their own interests. This would be manipulation by the all of article's criteria.

Of course as a company you can decide do use that strategy - it's not your job to think for your your customers. But don't be surprised if consumer advocacy groups flag you and at some point you find people demanding a law against that practice.

More generally, I'd draw the line to "marketing" if you supply information to the customer that's either meaningless or misleads the customer, but could not possibly help them reach their own goals. (As in this case presenting an amount in the search results that has no practical relevance.)

I'd draw the line to "manipulation" even earlier, if you make a person act in a way that's against their own conscious interests in the moment. As I said, there can be rare cases in which that manipulation could even be wanted by the person, but I don't see that changing the fact that it's manipulation. It's different from "persuasion" where you make the person change their interests.
usually just turning off JS fixes this
I do.

iPhone 6 + Prompt (a SSH client) + tmux + Neovim/Vim + a remote dev server

for Android phones use JuiceSHH instead Prompt

Usually I use a notebook sshing to my dev server but when I am on the go and get good ideas I immediately try them on mobile before getting home. With tmux I am still in the same session having easy access to all windows and panes. Vim's key bindings are the best way to use an editor on a phone anyway. All very satisfying and not much slower. Sometimes when I need to go to bed and still want to play around with the code the same: I tinker a bit more till I fall asleep.

Or today: I read about a new JS NLP library on my phone I want to quickly test: I just start Prompt and type "npm i nlp_compromise", fire up Vim and play around.

I am quite fast with the iPhone keyboard and I think the reason is that I use the keyboard in general without any assistance, so no spellchecking, prediction, etc. Just the plain keyboard and after a while using it like this you get super good and fast (it took some weeks though). The keyboard of the iPhone is also one of its features I like most: it's extremely responsive and never lagging.

Prompt extends the iPhone keyboard well: you get Ctrl, Alt, Tab and more keys nearby and aesthetically very similar which I like. Prompt is quite slick and iPhone's iTerm.

So, it's not about doing entire projects from A to Z on your phone but it can get ultra productive when your are away from your computer and get those 'shower thoughts' you haven't gotten for three hours sitting in front of the screen. Then a phone as a devkit comes quite handy.

I always like to see open source alternatives. I was surprised to see the requirement of 4 CPU cores and 8 GB memory.

A little off topic: I generally like Evernote, and pay them $25/year. However, I just had an alert on my Android phone that I thought was from Google, but was actually from Evernote asking for my GMail login info. Had I been careless, Evernote would have accessed my email and integrated it with their service which is something I do not want.

Big Data's Most Influential Rock Stars: 10 Must-Follow Leaders
ltr: no one is hating on common core.
1) The death penalty is more expensive

2) People sometimes are wrongly convicted, happens, will always happen, another point: Law is different, depending on where the trial happens, what state you are judged in, sentences differ. There is no way the death penalty can in any way be "fairly" handed down. (Law is not mathematics, it's a social science)

3) Does it keep people from committing crimes? No obvious answer, likely not

4) There is a racial factor involved, black killing white more likely to get the death penalty than black killing black for example.

5) There are no good or bad people, that might be what religious people think, but you aren't born a criminal, nor is it simply your well informed free choice to become one. What if I had grown up in a low income low educated black community with high criminal and incarceration rates, without a father and a single mother struggling to provide for her children? I am privileged and I know it, so even if someone does something hideous, shouldn't society not be one of revenge, but one that while it punishes, also tries to lend a hand and tries to give support to a poor soul? (the American justice system is not working well in that regard, solution is more therapy, psychologists, less life-long sentences, no minimum sentences, better education, more social workers, et cetera, not death penalties...)

We value life according to some simple factors, how intelligent is it, how close is it to ours, how do we estimate its perception of its surroundings, its "degree of consciousness" so to speak, et cetera, in that regard killing an animal or a human being is different. It's also different whether you kill an ant, or an elephant. That's why killing an animal unlawfully does not have the same legal consequences as killing a human being. Your comparison is not really relevant and fair. Regarding abortion it's the same, we are not talking about aborting fully grown human beings, I am pretty sure we are not talking about aborting fetuses one month before birth, more likely 6,7 months before birth in most cases... and even then I see how it is a moral dilemma for some people.

And wars should also be the absolute last course of action exactly because it kills people. And you see the consequences, does killing abroad make the United States safer?! In a lot of cases I doubt it, it fuels hatred and radicals... does killing criminals help anyone? let me summarize: it costs more, there is a racial bias, there always will be innocent among the criminals sentenced to death penalty, you are not a criminal out of free choice, violence fuels violence, it's likely not to deter crime, ...

Oh man, this is a bad idea.

If you find something out there that you think you can connect to - poor password, no password, etc - you must be very careful.

In some cases, just reporting it will cause you problems. At this point, you probably haven't broken the law but some companies are just jackasses.

But once you connect, the game changes. It is "unauthorized access" and it's probable that you broke your local laws. At that point, it's not just a jackass company that gets involved, it's local law enforcement too.

And then you get data from the database. It's probably going to get even worse for you.

When you go a step further and share a howto on the web... this is a bad idea all around.

This is not proper disclosure. If I was him, I'd get a good lawyer.
I agree. Anyone who thinks that dynamic linking makes things easier to update never lived through the DLL-hell of Windows where installing one new product would break a completely unrelated one because it "upgraded" a library.
8 Reasons Why Apple Invested $1B in Didi, the Uber of China
I'm pretty sure that this is at least the part of what he is talking about. I'm not sure if it's fair to refer to it as a "technology", but he is basically talking about laws being even more fucked up than they were some 30 years ago, and people (say, you) accepting it as it was OK. But for him, or for me it's not OK — for us it "seems" like money (cash included) is just a handy way to exchange goods and services without carrying a cow (or a witness of me working for someone for a day) around the city. The whole purpose of money for us, as we learned while growing up, is a confirmation of us being useful to someone, a "neutral goods" so to say. So we don't feel obliged to "notify" any fucking "relevant authorities" when we move somewhere while keeping these tokens of us being useful, which are accepted somewhere else as well. We don't want to have to rely on banks and lawyers to exchange something we make by our hands to a loaf of bread.

So it's understandable that he doesn't like somebody comparing of moving something you stole to moving something you earned. For him this is nothing but one more pair of shackles people suddenly have to wear — and are putting it on happily, because it surely helps them to live more secure and blissful life, yeah.
The Auto Industry Should Replace Uber
I love this approach. It would be great to have 100s of these on more or less predefined trajectories, but without a set schedule. Just press a button and one shows up a few minutes later, perhaps with already some passengers going similar routes. It could help anchor urban development, something a pure self driving car would not too, and the absence of a set schedule removes the biggest drawback of public transportation. They can also just use existing roads, no need to construct a separate track. I hope these things would help introduce affordable public transportation in many US cities, and actually be useful and practical.
Sorry, but a "website" which is basically a set of powerpoint slides in Javascript is certainly not going to help "market" anything.

And to add insult to the injury, when you actually suffer through those empty marketing slogans, you get down to a big link "Start here" - which unveils a link to few very basic tutorials.

What exactly is the point of such "website"? The information value of this is zero. What a waste of time.

A much better (but not the latest web framework buzzword compliant) resource is this: http://www.lisperati.com/
I was thinking about that as well. Depending on the payload, it might make sense to build duplicates of many satellites for redundancy should SpaceX lose a rocket. Cost-wise that could still come out ahead given how much more ULA costs.

Of course, I doubt it'd come as a surprise to anyone that these payloads are likely insanely expensive as they too have gone through the govt procurement system (which seems to make everything cost 100x what it should cost). At which point it makes sense to avoid losing the payload even at ULA pricing.
That begs the question. What defines being a "person" other than being alive and being human? Fetuses are clearly both, so you have to add a third restriction. Finding one that works is challenging. It can't be self-awareness because then babies aren't people. Viability outside the womb is a dividing line that will soon be obsoleted by technology.

The long-term justification for abortion will likely have to be rooted in ideas of justifiable homicide (self defense, collateral death during war, etc).

One Behavior Separates the Successful from the Average
In theory I agree with this, but in practice it is a bit harder in my experience. To make readable code, it might help if the language itself is readable. But more importantly, the programmer has to write readable code. And that is a skill which takes a lot of time to learn (a lot of people never do) and when they don't, I'm not sure if a readable language matters much at all.

Anecdotal, I know, but I see/saw plenty of code written by juniors and/or sweatshops (seniors from sweatshops have a tendency to not progress much in their code writing skills over the years) written in Java, PHP, Python or Ruby which is completely unreadable. And, on the other hand, code written in C, assembly or Forth that is very easy to read even though the languages themselves don't really support traditional 'readable' code.

Reading in a natural language is only very little about syntax or strict semantic rules; plenty of novels which are syntactically correct and which follow the semantics of the language but which are 'readable' as per the definition of 'able to read and understand' however which not many people would ever read or finish if they did start.

Very terse code which is well written can be beautiful and easy to read; it takes very long to craft code like that in any language but once done, to me at least, it is easy to read and often preferred over reading 'the tech spec' (for which 'shorter is better' is a rule of mine anyway).
I'm a little confused about system resources use. Does this put load on the browser (user's machine) or the server. Also, could this (reasonably) be used on a site to generate a dynamic image with each visit? Would that be too "heavy" for a site.
Yep. Anything sent by Constant Contact or MailChimp is auto-junked for me. I never see it.
