No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”

In the wework at Market and 6, there's a bunch of staff too. Though they have I think 8 or 10 floors of the building.

Of course, who knows what the staff do all day. The bathroom on our floor regularly runs out of paper towels or has overflowing garbage cans.

Also, fwiw, I can't disrecommend WeWork strongly enough.

* They let one of the two elevators in our building sit out of service for 6 weeks last year. I hope you like a 15+ minute wait to get in or out of the building. Instead of being aggressive with the building owners to get it fixed, the smarmy wework pricks did nothing.

* They also can't get the door locks on our door to work reliably. Now the door just sits open all day.

* The hvac doesn't work. More than half the staff on my floor used blankets last winter, and even I found it quite cold, and I grew up in the north. Now that it's summer, it's regularly low 80s in the office.

* The offices themselves are loud overpriced echo boxes.

We finally got a real office and put in our notice this month. I was ready to quit to get out of WeWork.
Congratulations! I've tried that before, but have relapsed after a few months.

Sadly, boxing as a sport has much declined since Ali's day, and especially in recent years. In particular, the heavyweight division has been found most acutely lacking for some time.

However, you are correct that heavyweights don't and have not typically "moved like that". Even those who were relatively fast and defensively gifted (e.g. a young Tyson) didn't move as poetically.

He moved like a boxer of a much lower weight class and, beyond even that, he moved like Ali. Graceful. Fluid. Quick. Rhythmic. Instinctive. Check out some of his highlights on YouTube. There are entire sequences during which he defied opponents to hit him through head/upper body movement alone. Hands are low and movement is so fast and well-timed that it seems to predict his opponent's next move. It's as if he is training his opponent to punch wherever he moves his head, and his opponent is reacting to him vs. the other way around.

And, this is to say nothing of his footwork. He glided without effort and the mechansim by which he changed direction was almost imperceptible. It seemed that he was being guided on a wire versus using his legs. Back then, it was amazing to see a man his size (or any) move like that, and it would be just as much so today.
That's just evil! I like it.

The IPB is all about allowing GCHQ and other government agencies to collect all the data they want, but we shouldn't be worried because there will be "safeguards" against the data being accessed arbitrarily.

Those of us who are more technically minded realize that's a false distinction, but most don't.

* Perks like free beer, free food (sometimes) social and professional events
* Networking via their social network
* A big, fun, creative space

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I deleted my facebook account several years ago and I still have contact with my real friends via phone and email and a thing called meeting up in real life. All I lost were the friends I never wanted anyway.

Over the decades they learned that fighting wild fires is counter-productive. What's left is fighting only fires that endanger humans and human structures and leave the wild ones alone. It's the product of many decades of experience! Which is missing in your statement (the experience), that tries to make this into some weird metaphysical issue.

Just an example: http://www.washington.edu/news/2015/09/17/scientists-let-wil...

Did you know that the earth has a history of 400 million years without humans fighting wildfires? (No big plants before the Devonian period.)

Well, I'm not sure what you are really after. I think you can find tutorials for established bot modules, such as eggdrops or how to write an irssi script.

The tutorial I made is based on the code provided in the examples. There are some common bot functions there, and explanations, which might be enough to get started with your own.

Did you look at my examples which were mentioned in the tutorial?
https://github.com/RobinManoli/ircutil/blob/master/examples/...
https://github.com/RobinManoli/ircutil/blob/master/examples/...

One point with my module is that you can access IRC as raw text. (See how event.raw is used in get_started_bot.py). If you run this bot, you can observe how IRC looks like in text mode. Already from there you can parse any of those lines of text with Python to get started with your own bot.

Then you can use event helpers, (see examples). For example, if you want to respond to a message you use:

if event.MSG: ...

and to send a message, use:

mybot.msg(channel_or_nickname, mymessage)

Afraid not - on that particular trip I had decided to journal it, and was even shooting the whole thing in 1080p 3d... And then on the last day, my cameras were all stolen, as well as the 386 laptop I'd been using to write on. I took a 386 in the hope nobody would want to steal it.

Thankfully I still had the hard drives full of footage, got it home, transferred it to my nas, raid 5, started backing that up online (several tb...), during this, two drives in the array fail (seagate. Flood batches. Sigh), all footage lost.

A year later I shot drone footage amidst the hongs in Thailand, flying through caves, launching from a kayak - crazy stuff, amazing footage - until I had another pair of disks die in another raid 5 array.

So, I now just enjoy the experiences and don't try to document them.

I actually blame seagate for me giving up, as it's their toxic disks that kept dying on me.
Both good points. All of the data mentioned has its role. The key with H1B data is that the biases are better known. With self reported datasets, who knows what the poster's motivation is? Especially with companies that don't have many data points!

The risk to an employee is asking for too little and H1B data can help put of floor on that number.
> Ali wasn't "allowed" anything. He lost his livelihood for roughly a third of his athletic prime for standing up for his beliefs. He faced constant racism and bigotry.

Joe Frazier supported Ali financially when he was unable to box and supported the restoration of Ali's licence.

"The greatest" [sic], who for reasons you have stated should have been more aware than most about racism and abuse, paid back this great friend who supported him while others persecuted him in the most foul, racist ways (Ali had links to the KKK and gave at least one speech to a KKK rally), calling Frazier an "Uncle Tom" and a "gorilla".

This post obviously won't go down well with Ali fanboys who only accept the hype and mythology and who don't want unfortunate facts about Ali getting any wider exposure, but Ali's reprehensible treatment of Frazier was so egregiously appalling - even had Frazier not been such a decent and loyal supporter of Ali - it should not be hidden, forgotten or excused, any more than the persecution Ali faced should be.

Boot is great. I'm not an idiot developer, and have accomplished quite a few things with code that I'm proud of. But please don't ask me how to setup nrepl with boot+cljsbuild and have the repl run in a browser or on node.

I am heavily thinking of implementing a language that is inspired by Clojure, but native to the JS land. It would use npm, Mori for data structures and browserify (if not on Node.js) under the hood for requiring libraries. Basically a transpiler from Lisp style code to JS, with better data structures.

Just noticed that there is an entry in the FAQ.

Pasting here for others:

http://libdill.org/documentation.html

It's C-idiomatic. Whereas libmill takes Go's concurrency API a implements them in almost 1:1 manner in C, libdill tries to provide the same functionality via more C-like and POSIX-y API.
For example, choose is a function rather than a language construct, Go-style panic is replaced by returning an error code and so on.

Coroutines and processes can be canceled. This creates a foundation for "structured concurrency".
chdone causes blocked recv on the channel to return EPIPE error rather than a value.

chdone will signal senders to the channel as well as receivers. This allows for scenarios like multiple senders and single receiver communicating via single channel. The receiver can let the senders know that it's terminating via chdone.

libmill's fdwait was replaced by fdin and fdout. The idea is that if we want data to flow via the connection in both directions in parallel we should use two coroutines rather than single one.
There's no networking library in libdill. This is meant to be a separate project.
By the way, I sometimes wonder how appropriate it is to say "rest in peace". To me, it always sounds like you assume someone may not rest in peace (i.e. end up in hell?).
I mean, if WeWork is both expanding into new offices and realizing their current offices are grossly overstaffed, it's completely reasonable to be both hiring a lot and firing a lot. The pause could just be a breather to see if the new staffing model makes sense. Office staff isn't generally fungible between cities or even locations within a city sometimes.
The best thing you could do is to have two offers. In that case the companies bid for you on the perceived value you will provide them. And you turn the table. Btw - anecdotal evidence points that is a way to get a raise too - company Y is offering X,Z and C. Can you top it so I can stay here?
>> “give me a big enough computer and the relevant initial conditions, and I’ll
simulate the brain atom-by-atom.”

Nuh-huh. You can't keep blaming it all on the hardware. Every year there's bigger
and bigger computers and more and more people who claim they'll do better next
year, when there's bigger computers.

Well, it just ain't gonna happen. Fascinating intelligence that eats our most
powerful artificial one for breakfast is all around us, and it runs on as little
as five ganglia. Look at insects. They don't even have brains. They may not know
calculus, they may be completely incapable of even acquiring the concept of a
mathematical operation, but they are autonomous and viable in a harsh, hostile
world that the most powerful machines we've built are completely incapable of
inhabiting.

If recreating insect-level intelligence artificially was just a matter of
computing power, we 'd have done it already: we got more than enough of it. Five
ganglia? My calculator is more powerful than that! But we don't have a single
machine that can do what the lowliest fruit fly can do: survive on its own, and
thrive, in the real world [1].

So- why is human-level intelligence just a matter of more computing power, but
insect-level one is not? Is there some kind of secret ingredient? Is there some
kind of magic involved? Will some sort of -gasp- singularity occur when the
number of gates on a processor reaches a critical mass? Will the machine
suddenly acquire a S.O.U.L. [2] when we stuff enough processors in a single
casing and plug it in to the mains?

I don't believe in magic and I don't see how this whole thing is supposed to
work: "Just add more computing power". And then? What? What is the plan?

In fact all non-establishment groups - CND, anti-nuclear power protesters, anti-globalisation protesters, trade unions, animal rights activists, UK's own Occupy movement, anarchists, even worthy intellectual left-leaning blogs, and so on - were and are routinely infiltrated and manipulated.

There's nominal press freedom, in that it's possible to call politicians rude names.

But if your movement or leaders become powerful enough to have a hope of influencing policy and to challenge establishment cash flows and power relationships, expect some blow back.
> I know Vista has had a lot of success but it certainly is not related to their ability to make technical decisions for the companies they own.

Ironically, this is the case for 90% of software-run businesses. The technology matters very little beyond initial profitability. Initially, technology is important because it allows you to leverage, but once you can leverage revenue instead, the quality of your technical decisions generally don't matter so long as they aren't super dumb.
This is a dreadful article, and the title is deeply misleading.

Literally the only information this article contains is that MPs use Office365 and MessageLabs.

That they've felt the need to clarify, right at the end of the article:

I would say that is exactly the suggestion that the verb "accesses" makes.

You're just having a laugh at the OP, right?

In case you're not, here are some "Bashisms" that really suck to be without:

* built-in regex support (e.g. `[[ $var =~ ^1\.2\.[34]$ ]]`)

* process substitution (e.g. `diff <(before_command) <(after_command)`) and all sorts of other redirection tricks

* indexed and associative arrays

Some of this can be worked around by shelling off to grep for regular expression matching or awk for arrays, but Bash makes things so much cleaner and maintainable.
