#49 ("Zoop") (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7501LkNvyI&t=36s) was a highly underrated game that is waiting for a clone (maybe one exists, not sure). It may even be better suited for touchscreens (with a slight redesign).

It's not databases that are hard to scale, it's consistent state.

It's just that databases begin with the design assumption that you want state to be consistent.
Actually, after a while I started asking every company who rejected my candidacy to explain why I got refused. Obv I got even less responses for this but I did get some kind enough people to help me tailor my cv.
There's actually an exhibit about the Ramones at the Queens Museum, less than a mile from Forest Hills, where each of the Ramones grew up. I went on Saturday. There's a decent mix of art, reviews, and equipment. http://www.queensmuseum.org/2016/01/hey-ho-lets-go-2
Peter Thiel Violates Core Principles of Silicon Valley
I would be far more interested in an explanation of why women are stealing all male names [1] in the first place.

Hypothesis 1: toxic patriarchy devalues everything associated with women, who are forced to resort to male names once all female names are considered worthless.

Hypothesis 2: rapacious women feel entitled to everything that is men's, so taking over their names fits an established pattern.

(Just to get the stupid ideas out of the way.)

Academic papers using Stack Exchange data
Similar to you, sometimes my coworkers and I will use the terms 'normalized' and 'denormalized' when talking about databases. It is usually in reference to and ideal schema versus a performant schema. We don't actually use the precise definitions of the various forms, or verify our schemas satisfy the various laws. Maybe there would be value in actually formally normalizing a schema.
Losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise, there's no point in doing hours and hours of cardio and weight training if you're still eating junk food, because you will not lose any weight, sure you may get fitter but you won't lose any fat.

Also, if you can't fit 30 minutes of cardio in a day, 7 minutes will do the trick tremendously, well that's only if you're doing 7 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity).

Do at least a 20 second sprint then a 20 second run, alternate for 7 minutes, everyday, you will feel great and revitalized after.

Be careful in which guides you follow, there are TONS of fad diets and lies. Here's a great weight loss program I used to lose weight and permanently keep it off: http://thehealthspecialists.com
More people getting their papers from SciHub means less people using their universities subscriptions, and even less people complaining when the university wants to cancel the subscription to save money.
ActiveRecord looks on databases as flat files with a funny accent. I don't see how changing the query language will shift the entire design paradigm.
Probably. We just need to release some other features and fixes first.
What the big publishers offer is prestige and most academics are addicted to that prestige. Getting into Science or Nature is like a heroin. No academic-run open access web journal offers this high. Apart from that, journal prestige also plays a key role in the distribution of funding, for example in the UK. Many researchers feel they just cannot afford to publish in more ethically correct journals because these journals have less prestige which will make it harder for them to compete for funding. Of course all this doesn't change the fact that this industry is completely parasitic.
I don't they're speculating. They use it to smuggle money out of the country. Spend CNY to buy bitcoin. Go overseas, spend bitcoin to buy USD. This process may take weeks so during that they're holding hundreds of thousands of dollars of bitcoin. Why they spike in people smuggling money out? The PBOC is sending the CNY on a downwards trajectory, appearing to accelerate last week. [1][2]

Not really. It can get slightly more awkward when you use the gender-neutral pronoun repeatedly in one or two sentences - but only in the sense that it draws attention to the use of it.

One of my social networks (a popular network for a niche community, not queer-specific) uses a similar sentence - "X updated their about me section". Nobody's particularly fussed.

Do we exist in the same universe? When I visit the National Enquirer website, the current headline is "Hillary Clinton Caught With Lesbian Lovers". Meanwhile, the headline on the New York Times is "Cam Trump Win? Here Are the Decisive Battlegrounds".
I don't think you need to do anything that complex. Just find the N most popular papers and make sure there's one in each block.

Or thinking about, you could put them at block boundaries so people grab two blocks when they download them, in which case you'd only need half as many popular ones.
From the article:

> The language handler plandl is a DLL written in C, which calls a C++ function, which in turn uses COM to start up the CLR runtime and load the Andl Postgres entry point. Similar capabilities can be provided for Mono.

It's hard enough getting someone to install a non-core contrib module. This sounds like it'd be impossible to get running.
Article acknowledges this:
"There are currently several language implementations for Postgres, including PL/SQL (similar to SQL/PSM), Python and Perl. The aim of this project is to add Andl to that list, but as more than ‘just another language’."
Which is a very polite way of pointing out how out of date it is ;-)

I think I read most of those books they were popular, but I'm not that much younger than he is. I'm not sure I'd recommend all of them now....
Yeah. I spent in that year on average 10 hours a day coding. And some days I would just blast way past that.

So if you consider that (1yr)x(70hrs/week)=3640hrs falls right into the (2-5yrs)x(20hrs/week)=2080-5200hrs bracket, then in theory I have 'paid' my dues.

Otherwise if you're the kind to factor in the notion that "it takes time for the concepts to sink in", that's another story.

I don't get people's need to constantly bring up Thiel's support for Trump, as though it singularly defines him and everything else he does. In this case, his suing Gawker has nothing whatsoever to do with him supporting Trump. Those are 2 completely independent issues, and should be treated as such. Someone could support Trump for a whole bunch of (stupid) reasons that have nothing to do with libel lawsuits, and it's time we stopped conflating these 2 unrelated topics.
Guardian and Der Spiegel were what I was thinking about. Greenwald is now in Brazil. Poitras is enemy of U.S. military who previously did exposes on foreign activities and certainly would publish even legit secrets. My comment might need some clarification but it's still accurate. More so after Greenwald's stunt of running with the stuff to Brazil to start his own publication.
If a university cancels the subscriptions for a journal and the publishers find a way to show that people from that university's network access articles from that journal on Sci-Hub, I'm pretty sure the publishers would be in a great position to sue. Even if the publishers eventually lose, the university would look incredibly bad in the media. Not sure they would risk that.

Wow, shared pinned memory sounds absolutely awesome. Please tell me NVIDIA doesn't have to alter their binary driver to get this working... please. :P

I'm not sure if you need to shout at NVIDIA, Linux or Vulkan to make this possible, but there are so many awesome things people could do if this were possible...

I would totally recommend you shout at all the relevant mailing lists - even NVIDIA's, if it comes to that :P to get this supported.

And how are you managing qemu integration? What do you mean by that? o.o

I tried the simple displaymode, which seems to be a tad faster, but it's still glitchy - the issue specifically is that opening a fullscreen terminal (at 1600x1200) basically makes my mouse a slideshow, and there's noticeable typing lag too. Resizing the terminal down makes it go away: this is proportional to terminal size.

And as an aside, -w 1600 -h 1200 makes the mouse cursor go halfsize, -w <= 1599 and -h <= 1199 makes the cursor normal size. Curious.
Okay, but the Chinese have trillions to smuggle out, not mere billions!

I was more of the opinion that syntax highlighting was purely presentational. Does that mean that it is more sensible to do it on the client?
It should be noted that those filesystem operations are only atomic with respect to an observer running on the same operating system incarnation. Whether they are also atomic across power loss depends on the filesystem (though with a modern journaling filesystem, that generally should be the case).

There is no conspiracy theory here. Just one (quite stunning) fact/statistic:

"In 1983, 90% of US media was controlled by fifty companies; today, 90% is controlled by just six companies" [1]

Media outlets just act in their owners' best interest (which is to eliminate competition and preserve status quo), that's all.

Here is the most recent annual of their parent company:

http://www.relx.com/investorcentre/reports%202007/Documents/...

I don't have the time nor knowledge to give a summary on this but it's quite interesting - e.g. page 8 - 50% of their income are subscriptions and 80% of these are electronic. The other 50% are "transactional" I guess that means fees.

I can't read investor reports but I guess some answers are in there.
Of course any tax is a loss to the party who pays it. Don't think it has anything to do with Braess' paradox.

The main thing that differentiates different ways to tax is:
- what does it do for (or against) income equality?
- what does it do to economic incentives?

For things like sin taxes (like on alcohol, CO2, etc) you want to muck around with economic incentives.

In general, when you just want to raise revenue, changing economic incentives as little as possible is good. Hence, inelastic things should be taxed.

Land in all its forms, eg mineral resources, or straight up parcels of real estate to build houses on is perfectly inelastic, because the supply is fixed.

Taxing land does well on the equality score as well: richer people tend to own more land; so it's a progressive tax.

No, the issue is that they literally wrote a headline bragging about ignoring a court order to take it down[0].

Whether or not the lawsuit itself was justified (though the jury ultimately did thing so), it's pretty stupid to ignore a court order. It's even more appalling to brag about it the way they did. Quite frankly, they kind of got off easy, since the consequences could have been a lot worse. People literally go to jail for behavior like that. Look at Kim Davis, who was jailed for contempt.

> I watch a lot of game trailers, reviews, and gameplay, and very close to 100% of the games being made seem to be about murdering other creatures.

I think you're looking at a very narrow subset of available games. The nine "Popular New Releases" on the Steam front page right now are:

* A point-and-click adventure about an empathic healer (Resette's Prescription)
* A 4X strategy game where violence, diplomacy, and economics are all useful tools (Planar Conquest)
* A violent, profane combat game (Apocalypse: Party's Over)
* A game of bloodless slapstick violence where no one ever dies (Goat Simulator: Waste of Space)
* A racing game (Table Top Racing: World Tour)
* An idle game where abstracted combat happens offscreen (Idling to Rule the Gods)
* A political simulator where violence is one option among several (Power & Revolution)
* A shooting game (The Big Elk)
* A transportation simulator (Simutrans)

So that's two games out of nine that are mainly about killing, and another two out of nine that are completely peaceful. The AAA chart-toppers tend towards combat or sports, but there are literally thousands of games released every year that are either completely non-violent or not focused on violence.

And, for the record, it's pretty damn insulting to imply that liking violent games makes me a violent person. And there isn't any land on earth that wasn't "taken via murder" at some point. You don't get to be smug because your birthplace was last conquered 500 years ago instead of 200.
It's unlikely we wouldn't consume it, but we could "consume" it without releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere, e.g. by making polyethylene from the alcohol.

Why I don't program on the side anymore
I did read your entire post - several actually. So if you were not referring to the slide with Al-Qaeda related operational details (referenced in your John Oliver link), what did he neglect to redact? If that is not the thing you want to see him prosecuted for, can you state it more clearly? I assume you aren't wanting him prosecuted for "the potential dangers of the approach he took", such hypotheticals would be an even more dangerous precedent.

We aren't going to agree though, as I believe that he should have dumped it all - unrestricted public access. Whatever potential good end a kindly king can apply state secrets is far outweighed by the potential abuses (a great imagination isn't required, lots of historical examples exist).

This is impressive for the money. AMD is in a real fix, the 1070 is the new 970 and the 1080 is the 980Ti all over again. These 1070s are going to fly off shelves. I just don't see people getting excited over the Polaris chips as no one cares about performance they already had. People really want the 1080 but 1070 offers the bang for buck yet still top-tier performance.

That said, being as I work all day at a computer and spend my freetime at one, I'm looking to change up my lifestyle. I probably won't be building more desktop gaming machines at this point. I'm looking at Intel NUCs for desktop machines or a gaming laptop. I'm interested in VR gaming using a laptop to go tether-free with a backpack harness.

I'm looking forward to seeing the 1080M. A laptop with that would be a great match for cord free SteamVR.

I hadn't heard of LaTeXML before today. I've always simply used MathJax for my web-math needs.

So I set LaTeXML up and tried using it. I found it to be pretty easy to use, although I had to update a few things and install some perl modules. It turns out it is rather easy to convert directly from a .tex document to a MathML document. [This is using LaTeXML directly --- not through this ruby]

Something I noticed about using LaTeXML out of the box is that the resulting MathML has the original LaTeX as alt-text. So it is encoded in the page, and therefore (potentially) searchable. This is in start contrast to most MathML equations, which (can) look nice but which are neither text-searchable or easily copy-able.

Now I am a bit less-certain about my preference for MathJax instead of MathML. I wonder if anyone else has a strong preference and wouldn't mind sharing why you have that preference?

In future transforming scripts with plugins means reusing fish shell functions in bash scripts .etc
Also each shell has different syntax for sourcing files.
I use them indirectly like I use design patterns. I'm not thinking "Oh, I'm using 3rd NF" or "I'm using Singleton" at work. Instead, when designing databases I'm thinking about removing duplication (which is the crux of normal forms). However, like proofreading, you can go too far and normalize your database too much, making it hard to work with, so you allow duplication of some fields (hence denormalization).

Hope this helps.

Why do I love the aesthetic of a Tarantino film? Because it's fun. Violence and catharsis are powerful tools that can enhance a bit of media when used correctly. They can be critical and make you feel negative emotions a la Spec Ops: the line, they can switch off your critical faculties and let you have mindless fun like Saints Row, or they can exist in a more abstract and stylised form like in FTL.

Sure, all of these examples could be remade using other techniques to drive them forward but I can't imagine them being as good that way. It's not only because we're used to conflict being a driving force in entertainment. It's also because it's such an effective driving force for so many types of entertainment. For me, no other justification is needed for artist's to make an artistic choice. Video games with murder are not only fun.

No, since the same principles apply. An in-memory database searching for a value or aggregating is easily constrained by the bandwidth between memory and processor, so column-oriented layout still makes sense if your workload means you are often scanning through a column as fast as possible.
But what are the license terms for that data? Perhaps a statutory license from the FCC would give Google more freedom to repurpose guide data (or not).
