Do you have any influence at all with the CEO? Can you manage-up?

It's lonely at the top. He may be completely unaware of your perspective and how to solve the team morale issue.
Perl is also one of the fastest things out there - if your problem is doing lots of string handling. I have this little test that does a lot of string concatenation and garbage creation, which I recently pulled out of the closet to compare Javascript on Node and Javascript on Nashorn (and also native Java, since it was already there). Even on Java 8, Perl still blows it away.

That said, I hate working with references in the Perl debugger, and, I would be lynched at most worksites, at least in Sacramento, if I suggested a Perl back end. ...Which is too bad - Java/ORM, "COBOL-fingers", bondage and discipline forever...

It takes a lot of cojones to acknowledge those feelings (even to oneself), let alone share them with others.

So (despite the triteness of the slogan), thanks for doing that.
I personally think it's not ready for the following reasons:

* Many people are getting sick. They don't even know why it's happening; we're years away from it being fixed. VR right now is the 3d on the 3ds. It's not meant for human eyes and they're rushing it.

* No eyetracking. Your camera focuses on the direction your head is pointed. This is not how humans see. I am virtually never looking the exact direction my head is pointed. This is one of the reasons people are getting sick. Their eyes want to focus on something, and that technology is VirtualBoy level underdeveloped.

* Ouya games. The vast majority of games right now are really bad. They're definitely working on getting real games into VR, but it's going to take time, and most developers will see it as a Vita type situation where it makes more sense to wait to see if people buy it before investing developer hours into implementing an entire different display method for the game. Right now VR companies are paying people to make them games. That money will dry up.

* Price. Most people can't justify spending $300 on a video game console they can hook up to their TV. The market for a $500 head TV for that $300 console (or a $1000 computer) is comically small.

* Version. It's too easy to wait for the next one. At some point they'll make a headset with eyetracking, that doesn't make people sick, that has 4k in each eye, that weighs less, that attaches to your head more comfortably, and it will cost less.

* VersionS. Right now it looks like certain games won't work on every headset. This immediately tells consumers to wait for standardization. It's a fucking monitor. You don't get to have exclusives for your monitor.

* FOV. Human FOV is around 180. We have binocular vision for 114 of that. Oculus and Vive fovs are at 110. That's literally horse blinders.

As an aside, I like moving my focus with my mouse. It's incomparably more accurate than hoping my deviated septim is pointing exactly where I want to look. If you can't disable headtracking that's an immediate red flag for me.

I really like VR, but (like basic income) it is going to lose credibility because of how early it is proposed.
I haven't tried Elixir yet, so I can't really compare on your points, but a couple notes:

You can use https://github.com/scala/async for async/await in Scala. It's super easy.

Also, you can pattern match function parameters in Scal using PartialFunction `case` syntax.
To be fair, boldfield did say "worked for ... for a while" which implies they're no longer with the company (which might be a story in its own right). Still, it's good advice for others chiming in who may presently be in the same position.

I read the district's explanation.

http://www.sfusdmath.org/uploads/2/4/0/9/24098802/ccss-math-...

It says that Algebra was previously introduced in 8th grade and students were not prepared. Therefore they have moved that algebra content into normal math for grades 6-8, gradually introducing contents, along with other concepts. Then the full Common Core compliant Algebra class that focuses solely on Algebra is in 9th grade and they are hoping that students will do better with this approach.

The article and the commentary here indicate that neither the author nor any but a very small number of commenters here bothered to look at the actual program, preferring to revel in personal suppositions and speculations.
"Microservices" often lead to the degenerate fragmentary case (look at people bragging about how many microservices they have--that's a weird mindset to have).

I am a big fan of a well-designed SOA, but that's not properly bloggable here in 2016.
> The implication there is that they have the features because they are monolithic kernels, which is presuming the very thing being discussed. The only thing you can say without a lot more proof is that people use Linux of FreeBSD because they have features people want. Whether being monolithic is a causation or correlation with those features is not established (in this discussion) yet.

I'm not saying FreeBSD and Linux have those features because they are monolithic, i'm saying people use monolithic kernels because they are more feature complete at this point in time. More specifically if I want to run a big web app in production there are no suitable microkernels or exokernels to do so now.
> What is the "standard" fortran compiler for scientific computing?

Not so long ago, supercomputers typically had Portland Group, Cray and Pathscale compilers installed. Nowadays it's pretty much Intel and gfortran.
It's not quite a data race, since there's nothing parallel at all. Transactions are put in a particular order and run one at a time. So it actually does have to be B that does the modification.

One easy solution is to have just one external call per method, and always put it at the end of the method. Another is to use a single mutex for all public functions of the contract, so any callbacks fail.
> Drug use damages the credibility of any party.

I agree that victims are often doubted because of drug use. (I think that's an error by police; instead of doubting the victim they should be treating the victim as a vulnerable person who was more likely to be abused)

But can you show me any examples where a rapist who claimed he had consent was doubted because he had been using drugs?

It feels as if the doubt only goes one way.

I think the point the "decoder" is making is that his denial is very carefully worded, and even taking him completely at face value, "I didn't do anything bad enough that I should be arrested for it" is a long way from "I didn't do anything wrong, and shouldn't be removed from this community".
Yeah, but they seem to be awfully reluctant to pay out on it.
One thing that I was pretty annoyed about while testing (server) beta and alpha was Cockpit web UI that is enabled by default. I know it's easy to disable it with `systemctl disable cocpit.socket`, but if you select "minimal/base install" you shouldn't get a full blown web UI management console installed and enabled by default.

mikk14 is right; the connections were filtered out below a particular threshold (set that threshold too low and everything is connected to everything; set it too high and you miss meaningful connections).

But note that precisely because git/github is used in combination with almost all other tags, it doesn't have a high correlation with any particular technology. A correlation (roughly) means "If I know you use tag X, you're more likely to also use tag Y." But knowing someone uses git doesn't let you guess what other technologies you use, because as you note they can use almost anything.

In short, if you're connected to everything, that means you're correlated with nothing.

> Elixir is sort of chained to BEAM, which doesn't appear to have as bright a future as the JVM or LLVM does, so Scala seemed like a safer bet.

Where does this impression come from? The BEAM VM is maintained by Ericsson, we get new "major" releases every year. In the last years we got the maps data type, the new scalable timer API, better tracing facilities, dirty schedulers, and so on. Lately, at ElixirConf Berlin, we heard about the current efforts on scaling the Erlang Distribution to thousands of nodes out of the box (it is already possibly today, just not by default).

They are also plenty of research projects, mostly in Europe, about improving the VM, development experience and scalability in different ways, such as http://release-project.eu/, http://www.prowessproject.eu/ and http://paraphrase-ict.eu/. That's not including the usual suspects like Chalmers and Uppsala in Sweden, which have been exploring different aspects, specially in the testing area with property-based testing, concolic testing, systematic concurrent testing, etc.

Companies like Adapteva (behind Parallella), Basho, Erlang Solutions, Plataformatec, and many more are investing in the ecosystem too. If there is one thing I am not worried about is the VM and the runtime bright future.

In my opinion, the simple fact we have a runtime with preemptive light-weight processes from the ground-up (instead of tackled on top as a library/framework) with per process garbage collection and inter-node communication taken care of is enough to hold the VM for the next handful of years, even if all development ceased today.

I have nothing but respect for the gentlemen running the above websites, and cast no blame on those that prefer podcasts (indeed, it would be strange if marco in particular didn't have a podcast). None of the aforementioned sites are filled with advertising.

That's a big apples to oranges comparison, but breaking it down anyways... for an apple watch all you need is a smartphone which the majority of people have. For one of these VR HMDs you need a 300 dollar graphics card and a capable computer, which is a much smaller market segment for a device which has only been out a handful of months.

So, how will this change? Well GPU's are getting increasingly powerful, Nvidia will likely debut a GPU that is powerful enough for a Rift/Vive on a laptop this year, and AMD will release a graphics card powerful enough for VR on desktop at a price point less than 200 bucks.
If this code style is an absolute requirement for the code not to be exploited, it should be probably be built-in in the language specification itself.

"Part 107 does not apply to model aircraft that satisfy all ofthe criteria specified in section 336 of Public Law 112-95."

Then from 112-95 part 336(a)(1), " the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use;"

So these are rules for people doing chimerical work like "property assessment" or outdoor photography. Not your hobby flyer / AMA member.
Some simple use cases:

- a multisignature wallet, that requires more than one person to sign off on a transaction before it can happen.

- payment schedules or any kind of transaction that does not function exactly like a one time, full size payment (payments, debt, etc).

- more ambitious ideas, like the Slock.it ones, involve smart locks that hold funds while granting use to a resource, and only return them after access has been revoked

In all of the above the inputs are contained in the blockchain and therefore have no need for trusted oracles.
It depends, really. When you're just starting out with sending email from a fresh domain and IP address, you will most likely be flagged no matter what. Do not underestimate signals that come from user interaction (e.g. open and click rates).

Dear Appcelerator
Ubuntu is based on Debian; it's designed to be more user friendly, easier to use; but it's also less "pure" in the way it handles non-oss packages.
Fedora is RedHat-based and it's the community-supported, bleeding edge version of RedHat/CentOS. If you're looking for a desktop OS, Fedora and Ubuntu will do well.

Debian and Ubuntu use .deb packages and use apt to install packages.
Fedora uses .rpm packages and dnf to install packages.
Not sure what Arch uses.

Fedora is backed by Red Hat (an American company) while Ubuntu is backed by Canonical (not American).

Fedora is more bleeding edge than Ubuntu.
Fedora has SELinux with good policies by default and Ubuntu has App-Armor, but I think disabled by default.

One would use Fedora when developing software for servers (CentOS / RHEL). Ubuntu, however, has more packages in the repositories, so it is more end-user friendly.

A couple of big things:

1. package manager. Historically you could make something of a divide between "Red Hat derived distros" that used RPM/Yum (and now DNF) for package management, and the "Debian derived distros" that used apt for package management. Other distros like Gentoo, Slack, etc. were characterized by their own unique approaches to managing packages.

2. Locations of important files. Different distros sometimes vary in terms of where the put "stuff". Is a given thing under /opt, or /usr, or /var, etc? And once you get used to a certain layout, you tend to want to stick with what you already know.

On point (1) above, there was a long period of time when apt was widely held up as being objectively better than rpm/yum, and it probably was. But I think many (most) people would argue that that time is far in the past, and that now the distinction between apt and rpm/yum/dnf is purely a subjective matter of taste. Yeah, a few diehards will argue that point one way or the other, but realistically, either approach is fine.

Debian and Fedora are also characterized by their focus on including only Free software, although their are some distinctions between exactly what either will/will not ship. Ubuntu (a Debian derivative) was famous early on for making it easy to install non-free things, like codecs for playing back mp3 files, etc.

I don't really know much about Arch (never used it), but those are some of the things that define the different threads in the "distro wars".
I don't quite understand your argument. You're saying they didn't do it to satisfy tech savvy users, but they did it because they might need to satisfy those users when they're hit up about it in the future?

There are plenty of us that do care about it. Sure, they didn't have to do it, they still would have had plenty of users - but they chose to do it.
> Do more drivers lead to shorter pick-up times or more drivers without a passenger.

That's an interesting question. I think in this case it's shorter pick-up times because the system can somewhat self-correct in real-time:

1) If a someone is thinking about going out and driving, they check the app, see that there are lots of drivers out and not many passengers, so they might decide not to go out at that moment.

2) If there are too many requests and not enough drivers, Uber increases surge pricing. The greater the increase, the more drivers come out and the more requests get withdrawn until an equilibrium is reestablished.

Finally, there's some data at https://newsroom.uber.com/uber-expectations-as-we-grow/ that shows that the longer Uber is in a city, the more pick-up times drop and passengers expect shorter pick-up times.

I agree with you about food companies: at some point they might become competitive with Uber, or they might outsource logistics to Uber while they handle the food ordering and preparation aspects.

Where aren't the Release Notes linked in the announcement?
Yeah I mean I find the distinction for 'hobby' versus 'commerical' pretty relevant in the discussion. I don't think small-time, little UAVs really pose enough threat - even if used improperly - to justify regulatory burden. Gets back to whole notions of what society accepts as freedom I guess, in that we share the skies and give the FAA the 'power' to regulate how they are used with machinery in a lot of respects. I think it's good to be critical of regulatory over-reach, and also good to acknowledge when that doesn't seem to be the case.
How I handle that:

.var.%: FORCE
@printf '%s' '$(subst ','\'',$($*))' | sed 's|^|#|' | $(WRITE_IFCHANGED) $@
-include $(wildcard .var*)
.PHONY: FORCE

Where WRITE_IFCHANGED is a program that essentially does 'cat > $1', but only if doing so would create or change the file. https://lukeshu.com/git/autothing/tree/build-aux/write-ifcha...

Then, if a file depends on the value of a variable, I have it depend on .var.VARNAME. Of course, that means you may have to do something like $(filter-out .var.%,$^) in the command to generate a file.
