"How do you come back to a coding project after being away from it for more than a few days?"

I keep a log of what I'm working on, including to-do items (each of which get expanded into subtasks when I start working on it), next steps, questions to be resolved, ideas for future work, summaries of design discussions, etc. This gives me some context that I can look at when I go back to a task (whether it's after a short interruption like a meeting or a several-day long absence). I maintain this log as a plain text file that I keep open in my editor.

Another advantage of having a permanent, searchable log is being able to go back and figure out why I did something in the past.

Sure. But it would be a stretch to find any financial institution with as many as 360 million customer records. Maybe one of the state-owned commercial banks in China being the exception.

And more to the point, the corresponding email addresses and/or usernames in the MySpace breach are leaked along with the password hashes. The same email address and password combinations will be tried on other web sites (e.g. Amazon, Facebook) with a reasonable chance of success. No brute force necessary.
Yeah, I think there is a big future in automated and semi-automated OSM updates, combining trace data and machine learning. That was part of my interest in this.

My company Gaia GPS has millions of GPS traces from hiking and similar outdoorsy activities, so I thought to combine that data (though footways may be more challenging than roads to classify). OSM trace uploads and Strava both seem like good data sources to do this work too.
An obvious candidate for a next step in this slippery slope is criticism of religion. Will comments criticizing fundamentalist beliefs (young Earth creationism, etc.) be deleted within 24 hours?

Identity politics is normally associated with the nominally "left," but really it's the right and especially the religious right who have been experts in the weaponized use of identity politics in the last few decades. The entire Reagan and Bush eras were built on the use of identity politics to mobilize the "base" and keep critics on the defensive.

Liberals invent identity politics plays, but conservatives take it to production at scale.

I expect to see right-wingers totally co-opt this bandwagon real soon now.

The Larry Flynt principle still stands: the measure of freedom of speech is the freedom afforded the most offensive or idiotic speakers. I don't support haters, but I support their right to spew it. Unfriend and block exist for a reason.

> the environments in response to which they evolved no longer apply

People care greatly what strangers think of them, even if those strangers have no impact on their life. Public speaking tends to be a struggle for me, but it's a struggle even if it's in front of people who don't matter. Recently on one of my travels I thought I would go practice since I figured there would be such a small chance of running into any of these people again, and failure wouldn't matter. But that didn't make it feel any easier.. my amygdala doesn't know that distinction. That's definitely irrational. I understand the sound evolutionary basis, but modern reality means I can fly away to another city with another 10k strangers, why should it matter if I embarrass myself?
I have a hard time understanding how BI is going to afford everyone the ability to live in a nicer part of town. "Nicer parts of town" are a scarce resource. As such, they're costly. If you increase the BI to a level that would presently afford everyone to live in nicer areas, then the prices would simply rise commensurately.

Also I'm not really sure what safety has to do with the BI. The whole point is that each person gets $n and they can spend it as they see fit. Maybe someone would like to spend 10% of their BI on secure rural accomodations. Maybe another person would like to spend 100% on a sketchy rat trap in the Tenderloin. That's their prerogative.
It creates enormous social pressure to increase cigarette and alcohol taxes. In Canada both are quite high and the general population supports it due to the public healthcare burdens.

For health issues I think this type of pressure is a positive social force.

Hmm. This looks like it deals with UNC paths. I think the parent is asking about what are sometimes called "Win32 file namespace paths" - or at least defined as such by the MSDN article that is canonical https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3...

These are sometimes erroneously called UNC paths because, well, they _look_ like UNC paths. But UNC paths are used to refer to a path on another host. (In fact, you can specify UNC paths using the Win32 file namespace using the `\\?\UNC\server\resource` mechanism.)

It looks like win_unc will help with UNC, but it looks from a quick glance that it will not help with `\\?\` paths.
Elon Musk Confessions: All the Stupid Things Tesla Has Done
Perhaps I'm missing something, but how BI accounts for the fact that not everyone has the same basic needs or expenses? Someone will need expensive medications, another in-home care services, parents will need to spend money on kids, pay for daycare/schools, etc. Writing the same check to everyone might save you from bureaucracy, but it will put vulnerable groups in a relatively worse position, while single healthy people will profit from it. Also how do you avoid just deepening the gaps between the poor and the rest? Poor will still be getting approx. the same amount as they do now, but the rest of the population will get extra money they didn't have before, so the difference will be even bigger? Also wouldn't this extra cash flow create inflation, raising all the prices?
The reason Comcast is a monopoly is because if it wasn't, 21rst century networks would be like 19th century networks? Nice try, Comcast.
Thank you.

Not sure how to fix 2.

I also hope BI would reduce 2 and 3. It seems like it would. I certainly wouldn't work those jobs if didn't need money.
Why don't you hire someone who will need the basic income themselves? Do you want your team to be comprised of a bunch of PhDs who have never needed a basic income? Or is it more important to have PhDs on the program so it at least looks good, even if it doesn't scale or succeed?
It decided that "sleep," was a noun, rather than a verb (as in the diagram you note). If your parts of speech are wrong, it's not a successful parse.
The distinction you are making doesn't exist. localStorage and cookies both persist after the browser is closed so if you want that use case you won't get it from either.
Small amounts of force applied in any direction will not set the Earth into a collision course with the Sun. An intuitive explanation for why can be found in the game Osmos.

www.osmos-game.com

The short reason is that inertia is the entire reason the Earth is orbiting the Sun right now, you have to overcome that inertia rather than generate more of it. When you're playing Osmos during the orbital sections, a little bit of playing around reveals that the best way to reduce your orbit is to thrust in the same direction you're currently moving in. To increase your orbit, you thrust in the opposite direction. Thrusting towards or away from the 'star' alters your orbit somewhat but doesn't really change how far away from the star you are on average.

After awhile you figure out the right way to finesse your way into orbits that carry you on a trajectory to eat smaller bodies. With that skill comes the dying off of the fantasy of being able to easily dispatch the Earth in this fashion. Inertia doesn't work that way.
Sure. My reasoning: The localStorage token helps protect against CSRF, e.g., this token will not be submitted via a form embedded on another site (cookie will), therefore request will not be authenticated. In an XSS attack (aka "we're screwed"), the secure, HTTPOnly cookie at least adds an additional level of complexity above simply reading a single plaintext localStorage item. Perhaps this is naive? Of course I also take every precaution to prevent XSS from happening at all. Relevant[1].

Oh wow, this is neat, thanks for sharing! I want to add aspects of Desktop Neo to my OS project because I find it an interesting concept and it seems like the traditional method of desktop computing is undergoing a transition.
You should find an equal number of "participants" you force to pay a BI to the other participants. Please measure their happiness too.
There's no definite answer. For example, if you want a site that functions without javascript (i.e. degrades gracefully) you need cookies. Localstorage requires JS while cookies do not. It really depends what kind of web app you are developing.
What's the name of the anti-pattern where some punk wanders in and after a week or a month decides they totally understand all of the business requirements and constraints involved in a system that took five years to get to it's current state and decides a rewrite should be launched immediately?
Yup there are just a lot of bad developers out there, quite honestly.
Well it's usually not an option, but if they pay enough money for it it and have an SLA then it might still qualify as enterprise grade.
That's awesome, thanks. Also introduced me to Georgism which I naturally relate to Piketty. Now I've got a lot of reading to do.
French is a particularly poor example to choose. ASL has been continuously delegitimized as a language. Up until the 60s no one thought ASL was a "real" language, or a language as rich as English, because no one was studying the grammar of ASL. And because ASL was seen as broken English, pantomime, or otherwise deficient, ASL was actively out of the reach of deaf people. Throughout history, deaf kids were punished for using sign language, and their hands were cuffed so they could not sign.

French, on the other hand, has experience elevated status (perhaps not so much now that English is most often the lingua Franca, but even the term...).

If someone comes out and suggests that French is simple, or basically a re-encoding of English, that will sound absurd but more importantly it will not be associated with a history of language oppression behind it.
Instead of a sequence of u and d, try modeling it as:

Let's go with their ultimate "alphabet", all the pairs based on altitude. (A,Z), ... (M,M). Note all valid transitions. In fact, you have the exact same graph as they do since every transition is reversible. (A,Z) is the starting state, (M,M) is the final state. What you now want is the shortest matching string: AZ.CX.DY.EW.DU.MM. There ought to be only one in this case.

But there are actually 3 possible machines that can be constructed and need to be analyzed if you want to go with this method. C < W, C = W, C > W. The case of C=W is trivial, no intermediate points are introduced. C < W is the case given above and in the paper. C > W is the same as C < W under a trivially constructed mapping so it's already solved as well, so ultimately only 2 cases need be considered given symmetry.

I think the problem of marking it as a sequence of u and d, you'd need a metric. Some notion of how high or low each peak and valley actually are. Now, this could be discretized based on relative altitudes. Lowest is 0, next is 1, next is 2, etc. So you can ignore precision. Still greatly complicates the matter.
Just keep in mind that we will likely never reach the ideal balance between the voice of the people and megaphone of money.

I feel this is a straw man argument.
That isn't even strictly necessary. There is a difference between a "flat tax" (e.g. everyone pays 20%) and a "flat fee" (e.g. everyone pays $10,000). A UBI funded by a flat tax is completely unproblematic. People who make $80,000 pay $16,000 and this makes up the difference for the people who make $20,000 and pay $4,000 when they each get a $10,000 UBI.
Nitpick: there is but one GNU project but many GNU packages. Octave, R, Gnome, gcc, Emacs -- these are all just some examples of GNU packages.
I think perhaps you are not familiar with prior art in the area.
That's like saying:

Lack of sex and romance is immoral: why should anyone have to find a consenting partner?

The obvious answer is that rape is an initiation of force. It's immoral. Your needs or desires don't change that.

Lack of BI is not immoral. It's like saying lack of trust fund is immoral. It makes no sense. People don't have a moral obligation to provide you with things.
Haha, cheers. I'm not quite ready to commit to a ;-) just yet however.
It's extremely difficult to do this without running up against Simpson's paradox (which doesn't stop lots of people from trying, of course).
I don't understand why you don't feel that this is within the realm of possibility? Ignoring that it's Apple for a moment (because lots of people are very strongly opinionated about the company), if I had an offline file, and then wanted to ensure that my user was going to continue using my service and not take that file somewhere else, I would probably find a way to make that offline file either call home to base, or be only accessible online. It happens for a lot of stuff. Real world example? Adobe moving to the creative cloud.

If they don't do, people will upload the full albums and people will listen to those copies. So better put there their songs.

Also, YouTube is a monopoly. It's the Microsoft Windows of online media distribution. Developers cannot afford to not release their software for Windows, now imagine if Microsoft decided to build an AppStore like iOS where they decided unilaterally the price of software and their cut, and it were dirty cheap! Damned if you didn't develop for Windows, damned if you did.

It amazes me that the music industry has the audacity to complain that the DMCA makes things too hard. If anything, the DMCA makes it too easy to take down content. And YouTube then makes it even easier than the DMCA, and harder to restore content after faulty takedowns.

This time around, I hope the computing industry and the user-generated content industry are big enough to just say "no, go away and don't ask again".
Economic Analysis by Decade: 1970s-2010s
>You are offending me!

These quips about PC culture miss the mark. The rise of social networks / platforms catering to people who express their distaste for certain speech stems from their desire to further their revenue streams. I haven't heard of anyone leaving a platform because there wasn't enough offensive content.

Expect this behavior from every site that harvests user data and relies on adclicks to pay their shareholders. The monetezation of self expression -- a concern that dates back to at least the Usenet era -- is the culprit, not the speech criticizers.
Sorry to basically just negate your post but I do believe that you missed answering the last question in explaining details.
The poster asked, how would the provision of basic income further turn healthcare supply in the US to a negative sum game as compared to private insurance supplemented with corporate and government benefits?
Your response does a fair job of detailing some of the current issues with the US healthcare system but does not mention how basic income would make these issues worse. Would you kindly link the two for those of us who are not making the connection?
That's really where a lot of these suites come into their own. There's a myriad of applications that can paint and draw. Really, I don't see any need for anything other than Photoshop in my normal day-to-day workflow.

But if you're wanting to freehand something with a tablet, for instance, having some specialised brushes and features that are fine-tuned by artists for artists can quite often make it a much 'nicer' experience.

I feel all the examples on this site could have been achieved in any other capable suite. However whether or not the artist enjoyed creating them is where the point of difference lies.
The actual quote was:

“First of all, VR displays are a little too cumbersome. It has to be much more elegant, being connected by a wire has to be solved. The resolution has to be a lot higher. The physical worlds do not behave according to the laws of physics. The environment you’re in isn’t beautiful enough. We’re going to be solving this problem for the next 20 years.”

"Solving over 20 years" / "20 years from being solved" are very different things.

> If they don't do, people will upload the full albums and people will listen to those copies. So better put there their songs.

And the world's smallest violin will play a royalty-free sad song for them.

YouTube already has a huge pile of mechanisms above and beyond the DMCA to automatically identify and take down content. If you don't want your music anywhere on YouTube, you can use those tools, which YouTube doesn't have to provide at all, but which they provide because they want to make business deals with major labels.

Personally, I'd love to see YouTube just drop all access to those tools for anyone not on their platform, and labels can go back to filing individual DMCA requests by registered letter.
