I'm British and I live in the UK, and I am not like this.

I'm not a xenophobic nationalist, and I don't believe that purifying the motherland will magically fix everything.

Outside of unbalanced right-wing newspapers and their vitriolic online comments sections, polls show Remain with an, admittedly unsafe, majority. We are not all foaming at the mouth screaming at foreigners for ruining everything.
> "That's what they want. Let them have it."

That's not what all of us want.

Speaking as someone born and raised in the UK, I recognise that the attitude you speak of is prominent in our culture, but it's not what all of us want. I for one recognise that immigration has (for the most part) been a net benefit for the UK economically (and culturally, IMO). On the economic side:

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/05/eu-migrants-u...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11913927/...

Immigrants are being used as a scapegoat, there's no excuse for it but at least some of us recognise it for what it is. What I find funny is if you look at the nonsense that surrounds immigration the stories aren't cohesive. You'll hear people saying that immigrants are lazy and just here to collect benefits, and you'll also hear people saying that immigrants are taking people's jobs because they're hard working and prepared to work for less. If people are going to be prejudiced, at least be consistent!

I recognise there are some issues around immigration that centre on religious differences, and those are more problematic than the economic issues, but for the most part the issues around immigration are overblown.

As an aside, I've come to realise that a lot of the problems in the UK stem from our frequently toxic mainstream news media. It's really sad to hear friends and family repeat back soundbites from the news media, with seemingly little to no awareness that those soundbites are there to reinforce prejudice rather than provide insight. I'm sure that the limited access to grown up news coverage and respectful debate lies at the core of our difficulties, everything else that's an issue stems from the lack of good quality information and an unengaged populace.
If you don't recognize the value that good sales people bring, then you don't understand enough about business to make any determination of how much anyone should be paid.
If a company made a life saving drug and then released the patent say after 5 years of exploitation, I'd agree with the argument as well.
Rust has tons of problems with macros and they are still not fully in the language (last I checked). Rust macros actually do go back to Lisp. Specifically the Dylan language, a Lisp once envisioned as the equivalent of modern Objective C by Apple. Their are a number of papers from that period that you can read.

Macro systems are not all the same, they don't all have the same power. Clojure uses a very powerful form that is not as safe. Their is a lot of modern research in Racket.

A extremely powerful macro in a language with syntax was specified but never implemented by David Moon, you can find it here: http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/PLOT/

L.A.’s bet on curbing car culture with new rail lines
It has been stated that kids who grow up in and around forested natural areas have better immune systems and are generally healthier for having grown up closer to the natural earth, as opposed to growing up in an asphalt jungle.

Take poison oak for example. I have a relative whos drinking water flows through these plants and he is now immune to it. I brought a friend to his house (never been exposed) and after sitting on his couch, within 24 hours I had to take them to the hospital over the poison oak which had spread to the majority of their body. They were given a shot and we left shortly after that.

Me? I've had allergies from a young age and actually had treatments for it. I remember laying on my stomache while the doctor pricked my back a bunch of times. I'll still sneeze around a bunch of pollen but not enough to prevent me from doing the work.

In short, I do not think there is a fixall, take a pill solution and that there are many many factors to consider when treating someone for an allergy, or anything else for that matter. My grandma was hospitalized from inhaling bat dung, and my father also after eating some peanuts. Both could probably be treated to be less allergic but, this would require a lengthy treatment plan which is not a normal solution.
Once they arrive at the proper tech level, the reputation will get fixed by itself (and the corruption, too, probably) :)

bedroom producer here too ! the greatest thing about making music all in the box (or majority of it) is being able to mix on the go.

majority of my tracks sound great (imo) before I even touch a limiter/mastering chain.

lots of advice online says 'make the track and mix after' which is good if you are in the flow and can bust out a track in a day.. but if I make a synth sound I immediately mix it into the song and then start playing with chords

>> AI winter is coming soon.

Not really. There's a lot more private funding for AI nowadays and a lot of research is happening in the industry, rather than in academia.

Machine learning is not cognitive computing, like Roger Schank puts it, but it's championed by most of the large tech corps (count them: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, IBM, Baidu). Those folks have the money to keep spring going for a long, long time, much longer than last time.

Just being indignant is not going to achieve anything. Roger Schank and those of us who think he's more or less right in spirit (if not in tone) have a very simple way to prove his point: make it all work. Show why Good Old-Fashioned AI is better than machine learning for achieving the goals it set itself back in the early days.

But we've not been able to do that. That's the fault of the people, like Roger Schank, who started various parts of the original AI project- and failed to take it to completion. Again, and again and again.

Google, IBM and the rest will do what they need to do to keep the money coming in and they'll fund a lot of research that way. The rest of us can suck it up- or come up with something that works better. Noone's stopping us.

This looks so hyper-active that I'd honestly be completely overwhelmed by the amount of 'information' pushed at me that I'd just end up a blubbering mess lying in the fetal position until somebody turned 'reality' off.

(I mean, obviously that doesn't say anything about whether it'll happen or not, but I really don't want this to happen. It looks like an incredibly scary and above all vapid state to be in.)

Technically you could try some clever gravity assists with Jupiter to greatly reduce the ∆v requirements. But that's still a very expensive way of solving a non-problem. We know how to deal with nuclear waste. The problem is with people being scared out of proportion by it.
Most of the men in WW 2 were drafted.

In that case I see no difference between a solder and a civilian. Truman's duty is to American boys who are dying in a war Japan started. He's wasn't the president of Japan

You also have to factor in with any negotiation Japan may of argued they still owned Korea, as they'd had since 1910

In the Battle of the Bulge children were drafted,they magically become disposable war machines.
It should because:

$f = list($c, $d) = [1, 2];

does exactly as you describe and this is literally just a shorthand syntax for accessing list().
There are some ORM's where you define the schema in the application code and it alters the DB schema on the fly, but that seems dangerous, too.

What I would do, given Rails' existing framework of "programmatically discover the table schema and magically generate logic from it", is set it up so that it observes uniqueness constraints and programmatically adds the validation when found. Also, the adapters should interpret server error messages, throw a custom exception class for "uniqueness constraint failed", and ActiveRecord should catch this exception class and turn it into a failed validation when you attempt to save a record.

If that's too much work, just be fucking honest, remove the uniqueness validation (because it's completely useless), and be upfront with us that we have to roll our own solution for it.

What? Where did I say so?

I said "people does not hand wave SQL injection vulnerabilities by saying they haven't encountered it in their 10 years of experience with MySQL".

That does not mean all sql injection vulnerabilities are limited to MySQL!

Is this one of those of tactics that are frequently employed by php apologists to derail arguments against the language?
Not to overhype the potential of Ethereum, but one can also go beyond the obvious "next steps" and start to see entire new avenues that a technology opens up.

I say "start to see" because it is very hard to predict how one particular avenue of unforeseen capability might lead to success! In the early web, there were many of these kinds of use cases talked about and a lot of effort was made to bridge the technological gaps to get to the anticipated capabilities. One use case that stands out in this regard is ecommerce (before secure web connections existed).

But the real interesting advances are those that are not obvious from the get-go! These stem from creative modifications, and of course the very long slog of trying to realize the potential of those modifications. It takes confidence in the people who do the work, and it takes many, many failures.

Social software stands out as an example of this long slog that ends in success.

It took more than a decade of incremental advances -- from forums and chat rooms in the early web to the blogging scene in the early 2000s -- to get to where it stands today: a set of widely-implemented and widely-understood capabilities.

So definitely consume that list of use cases, and understand the near-future better.

But if you're interested in assessing and leveraging the full potential of Ethereum, definitely learn about its basic capabilities, then open up your imagination. You might see a glimmer of what could be, and perhaps be a part of getting there.

Why use a “.gdn” domain name?
Very fair point. Our STT service, even though it is based on a technology with the very best results for public benchmarks, is not as robust to accents at the moment - for the exact reason you mention, we didn't train it on all the dialects. But that will come with usage in the field. Google has a head start on this but with the usage of our services growing quickly we will be able to catch up quickly.

They worked well for me, not eliminating my allergic response but significantly reducing it for about a decade after 2-3 years of shots.

Note that the same treatment can be given via drops, a much less expensive option (but still considered off label use in the US). I haven't tried them (yet) but it seems like the research performed so far shows them to be just as effective (I'd guess also just as ineffective if the shots don't work for you).
I think you are wrong. Due to the rise of the bedroom producer and available software we've never before had so many talented sound engineers. The production value on electronic music today is through the roof.

I've had a very different experience with designers. I would say that ~95% of them something is a couple pixels off, a slightly different font size, or a shade off in color, it was a mistake.

Usually a quick follow-up question will reveal the mistake and the designer is happy to make the correction.

Phoenix apps aren't actually monolithic, but I'll let the creator of Phoenix explain this himself (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11749741):

> A new phoenix application is not a monolith. The `phoenix.new` generator generates a regular Elixir application for you that sets up a default Endpoint worker in your supervision tree, as well as a web directory to put phoenix related files (routers, controllers, etc). wrt to collective process, we add `worker(MyApp.Endpoint, [])` into your supervision tree, so we do exactly what you are wanting. Building a Phoenix application is building an Elixir application, not the other way around. Your phoenix dependency and related workers are just one component to your larger Elixir/OTP infrastructure. Note: Lance Halvorsen, who gave the "Phoenix is not your App" talk, is on the Phoenix core team. We have been pushing these ideas since the beginning and as Lance I and laid out in our ElixirConfEU talks, we're taking a stronger stance on isolation with upcoming changes to guides and phoenix resource generators.

I think it's really quite a testament to Phoenix that so many people think it too is monolithic. A client can request a Phoenix application and I can get productive immediately without worrying about creating an unmaintainable, unperformant mess. No wasting 2 days on configuration hell. I can even jump into an existing project and be productive.

Another point is that the libraries around Elixir aren't (in my experience) Phoenix-focused or obsessed with magical Phoenix integration. In most cases, things work well together. Just call functions.

Monkey-patching, thread-unsafe operations, and uncontrolled shared global state are all non-problems in Phoenix. Decent code architecture and testability aren't usually a problem either because proper separation is enforced. Functional/immutable programming makes a huge difference here too.

Ecto 2.0 is really what ActiveRecord should've been. It's incredibly well thought-out. I suspect the author would be really pleased with Ecto.

Finally, Phoenix favors simplicity over ease in most cases. Complexity is not hidden in 100 layers of abstraction and callbacks.

The author also mentioned DHH's... colorful personality. So I'll take this opportunity to mention how much more welcoming and humble Jose Valim and Chris McCord are.
With regards to free trade, can you explain what you mean by this?

This is a genuine question. Free trade seems to me to be a somewhat nebulous term, stretched to serve a wide range of economic approaches, and I'd be interested in getting a better sense of clarity.

Utility classes I dislike (mixins plx) and the idea of using important with them is not a design decision I would want to pick up.

I guess my bigger problem is that Harry sells himself as an expert, stands up on stage telling people this is how they should be doing things... and here I am, no book, no stage and my specificity level gets trumped by Harry amongst certain members of my team (despite my years of qualified awesomeness across large scale, popular, public domain sites)

>I don’t eat breakfast...In fact, I’m rarely hungry until about lunchtime. So, other than a morning cup of coffee, I don’t eat much before noon.

This is fairly amusing. First, coffee is a well known appetite suppressant. Second, unless coffee is black it is probably far from zero calories, with dairy and sugar maybe between 200-300 [empty] calories which would be in the ball park of bacon and an egg.

Of course some starbucks drinks can easily be >600 calories so who knows, the author could be drinking a coffee every morning that is closer to the caloric equivalent of pancakes with syrup.

I see this referenced continually online as if it's a miracle cure/weight loss aid. I had pinworm, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It felt like I was being stabbed at random intervals in the abdomen. Eventually went to hospital, they said it was probably IBS and sent me home. Consulted Dr. Google for a second opinion and it mentioned worms could cause abdominal pain. Sure enough I found worms after a bowel movement and, unfortunately, that was when they began crawling out my anus at night... yup.

Had eaten barely anything for a week, so I did lose a ton of weight I suppose. The psychological damage on the other hand was the worst part. I avoided touching other people and was convinced parasitic eggs were everywhere on door handles etc.

Here is a tip for those on a limited budget. Get an inexpensive telescope you can afford but can only see a few planets and the moon. Take it to a star party and set it up and aim it at a planet or the moon. Walk over to the other people who have the expensive setup with the computerized mounts, expensive and large lens & etc and ask to take a peek. These hobbyists typically love to share and will usually be happy to explain in great detail what galaxy, nebula or object you are looking at and the technical details of their setup if you ask.
