The challenge is that frameworks like TWBS and Foundation provide web developers with a great boost in productivity when trying to hammer out a product. They can spend more time on building a quality product and less time on the minutiae. It also creates a shared vernacular for the developer and the designer to work with. Without it, things are more grey.

Obviously some people hate these frameworks, and that's totally valid too, but for some people, they really are a boost.
Hanging on the militia argument is actually a little bit dangerous. What happens if a state, say Texas, were to pass a law inducting every able bodied adult into "the militia" (for some definition of militia, and some definition of regulated). Would that bypass all federal restrictions on firearms?
I'm not sure. I'm not a chemist, so I went and looked up a table of bond energies to see whether chlorohydrocarbons should actually be more reactive than the corresponding hydrocarbons, and it seems like the answer is actually yes, because the bond-dissociation energy isn't determined purely in isolation; the rest of the molecule affects it. A Cl-CH₃ bond has an energy of 339 kJ/mol, while the H-CH₃ bond has an energy of 431 kJ/mol, and the outrageously stable F-CH₃ is 452 kJ/mol. In isolation, the C-Cl bond has an energy of some 397 kJ/mol, while C-H is only 337 kJ/mol.

I think typically the issue with reactive molecules is not that they react within the digestive system — if they're reactive enough to do that, then they may burn your mouth or even stomach, but they're unlikely to make it to your intestines without reacting with the rest of your food. The issue is typically that, if they get absorbed into your bloodstream, they can find their way to all parts of your body, and then wreak havoc on the one or a few particular molecules they react with. So apparently sucralose doesn't get absorbed into your bloodstream, and it's not so reactive that you get chemical burns, so it's harmless. And it doesn't get absorbed because it doesn't react with sucrase (or invertase), maybe because the big chlorine atoms bumping around there result in steric hindrance that keeps it from binding to the enzyme properly.

As for insecticides and flame retardants, there is a large family of organochloride insecticides (including DDT), and organohalogens are common flame retardants, including the famous PCBs, but also things like HBCD. Both DDT and PCBs are notable not for being reactive but for being unreactive.
I think the word serverless makes more sense in p2p/decentralized architectures, than in platforms using pre-built servers.
AFAIR if you have a single excited particle, you still get this polynomial decay. (It was more about every distribution and Fourier transform properties - as mentioned in the post.)

Yes, in these subtle effects backaction may be important. (The whole non-exponential decay is because the "emitted" EM field acts back on the particle.)

> I can't imagine I could make someone sign a form that he waives his right to sue me and then shoot him, right?

To answer your question - yes, you could legally have someone sign a contract waiving his right to sue you for shooting him. However, the contract would be unenforceable, and he could sue you (for both shooting him and potentially for the contract - IIRC, that depends on the state). One of the things that became abundantly clear in contract law is that you can put essentially anything into a contract, legally. It's enforcement of said contract that the legal system gets involved in.

I felt this way too but...this WSJ article is indirectly [1] confirming the success of Mayer's turnaround. Mobile is where the AD revenue is since there are very few iOS/Android AD blockers like uBlock Origin (and other desktop/laptop browser based blockers). Mavens IS MOBILE. This segment is growing crazy fast. If she were too grow 50-100% more, the turnaround would be official for Yahoo and at the current rate, it looks like 1-2 years more.

I think Starboard is doing a great PR campaign against Mayer. I had their narrative believed but...now I'm extremely doubtful about the nay-sayers. Since she's generating 1.5 billion through Mavens/mobile. Yahoo was non-exist in the mobile space. She's doing a great job. Activist shareholders are a plague in many (if not most) situations. It's why Dell took Dell private, to do a proper turnaround in the tech world.

Thank you for the clarification, and apologies for any inaccurate implications. As others point out, I'm willing to give a bit of benefit of the doubt if only because there are parts of the system (Comcast's business connection takes a dump, for example) that even the payment network doesn't have control over.

Though your post makes me wonder: do payment providers have SLAs, or do they just say, "you're locked in with our network and hardware, suck it up"?
Go has a few interesting properties that make it an appealing target for AI researchers (perfect information, no randomness, an abundance of highly-trained human players to benchmark against), but if you were trying to devise an AI-vs-AI tournament you would probably concoct a more difficult challenge (or use one of the human games that AIs still have problems with, like no-limit Texas Hold'em, or the board game Diplomacy).

That's not a fee, that's the interest rate. You would pay 20% over a year of interest. There are many many cards with promotional rates between 0% and 5% per year.
Right they wouldn't buy at all using these stupid cards. Which is the whole reason the entire industry has had to lobby and tilt the law in their favor. Same with not passing these fees to the buyer. People will always find ways to buy, and we're stuck with fees, risk, inconveniences, and all these band aids that do nothing to resolve the root of the problem. Just more work for everybody.

And for most people it's not worth trying to lift a pack of donuts off a store shelf, but if they do they get arrested and can end up with life in prison where there are three strikes laws. That's what keep the police busy and the prisons full. Credit card fraud is far more common, and usually the perpetrators are not desperate, are mentally well, intelligent and intentional -- far more deserving of punishment if that's what we're after.

It is an insane marketing speak thing. The contractual requirement isn't for no price differences. There may be a discount for using cash, but they can't word it as being charged more for using a card. The two might be equivalent in numerical terms, but it is the language that is important.

Have you met a significant number of Googlers? Pretty sure they bleed the full spectrum of Google's logo colors. I'd absolutely say Googlers are the company they work for.

I'd argue that while perhaps 1-2% of those donors may be interacting with those politicians directly, that 1-2%, being founders, chairmen, SVPs, etc. are probably the lion's share of the actual money donated, given their higher compensation. (And as I mentioned above, it's quite popular at Google to give equity as part of employees' compensation packages, meaning they have a strong incentive to act in the company's interest, even when donating politically or voting.)

And to be clear, federal law mandates donors disclose their employers for a reason. And OpenSecrets explains how and why they use this information: http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/include/contribmethod...

This reminds me of a student's comment: "oh but that's only true within the confines of logic". That is, i'm sure a 'vitalist' would argue: "oh that's just chemistry, what of beyond chemistry?" to which i'd be forced to ask: are we talking about concepts where science isn't accepted? isn't that the realm of spiritualism? ("this protein is imbued with an ineffable living essence; whereas the one you synthesized must necessarily lack it") There are certainly folks who believe that things go on in a living system's metabolism which transcend chemistry, but on that point we part ways and i wish you well. and/or for me vitalism was forever falsified when a synthetic molecule and a 'natural' molecule co-crystallized.
At low levels, I think it is probably a very simple computational process, something like taking a derivative of the position (estimating the direction and magnitude of velocity of the object in some perceptual space). If we understand prediction in a loose sense, then taking the derivative would be predicting, just like the D part in a PID loop is considered predicting.

At higher levels of the nervous system where more abstract variables are hypothetically handled, there could be something like model-based prediction. For example, if we are trying to catch a ball we would predict its movement differently then if we are trying to catch a cat or mouse or a drop of water.

I'm familiar, I just don't find the study itself to be that compelling. We have two cherry-picked journal entries. The first one we have absolutely not context, and to be honest, sounds overly dramatic: 'the guys in their group came in and within minutes had sentenced them to doing menial tasks while the guys went and had all the fun in the machine shop'. In the second instance, we have someone complaining about being an intern and not getting interesting opportunities-- how original. To be fair, I'm sure her co-workers were probably creepy and that quite frankly is unacceptable.

I guess I just don't find any of the insights in this article particular compelling or new. We do have a gender problem, but I don't think bs studies like this lend any credibility to the issue.

I UPvoted your comment.

Aside from everything. In writing a contract, it's very common to write price with numbers and letters in brackets next to them. E.g. 1000$ ( one thousand dollars ), exactly because typos happen.

The decision what a typo is is made by the parties, in case of dispute then by several courts ( based on the evaluation of the contract ). That's at least in continental law system.

There's a way to specify a 3rd party court ( non-corrupted one, called arbitrage ) which can solve disputes for that contract.

Corruption of judges problem is being fixed also in several ways. Usually decisions in high courts are decided by 3 judges ( again continental law ) and sometimes a jury ( prevailing in anglo-saxon law system ). Also there is a way to appeal the decision of the court to a higher court(s).

The tar.gz format is to combine a collection of files first as a single tar file and then compress the one file into gz. It's not compressing individual file and then combing the compressed files into a tar. Accessing the last file requires decompressing the whole archive. What you described is the zip format. Both zip and gz use the DEFLATE algorithm so there's no difference in compression. The difference is in how the files are packaged.

Also gzip supports on-the-fly stream-based compression and decompression so anything requires jumping to the end to do reading and writing while compression/decompresion is no go.
I write a lot of these tests in my code as well. They are not exactly unit tests, because they test code at multiple levels of abstraction at once, but they are written in exactly the same way as a unit test and are intended for the same purpose: to make sure that some unit of your code functions as it should and does not stop functioning.

To me, mocks are useful for one thing only: there is some expensive or flaky dependency of your code that you may have poor visibility into, and you want to write a test that does not rely on its availability. Mocks for databases, file systems, REST APIs, externally maintained libraries, etc. all make sense to me. But if some library is developed locally (or in the extreme case, by you) and you can easily depend on its existence and stability, then I see no reason not to write code that depends on that library and test against that library. This is a testing strategy for a pragmatist, not a purist.

Go in particular makes it easy to separate a single codebase into separate logical packages, and if you do so, it often makes sense to test them together. That's why this is a pretty Go-specific issue.
That's the hope, but we don't have enough experience to know whether or not it's true. The analogy people like to use is airliners, but airliners don't get anything like the g-forces or heat load you see on a returning rocket stage.

I understand I can write any nonsense and sign it, probably because of freedom of expression or something. My point was whether that contract would be enforceable. If such a thing wasn't enforceable Google and others wouldn't be putting it in their contracts.

I mean, maybe? What's a 'stall'? Are we measuring commits/day? Is it important to have a constant number of commits/day throughout the lifetime of the product?

Why can't something like this be considered 'feature-complete'? Suppose at some point we run out of major features to add and infinite refactoring to do, and will only fix bugs? Will the framework be considered 'stalled' then, or merely 'mature'?
I interpreted d33's comment along the lines that maintaining a matured framework should need less effort than it took to initially build it, so it would be natural that the amount of changes is shrinking.
And the screen's text are fairly similar regardless of what it's asking, and if there was some sort of error inserting it (damn things often trip before the card's fully inserted), then it makes the same gosh damned sound to remove it. I even had one beep to get my attention to not take the card out.

I feel awkward and foolish with it, since it's ostensibly so simple, but so inconsistent. Add in a watching-water-boil time delay, and it's just a great recipe for social anxiety. One wrong move can jam the works. (Like, I once pulled the card out too early when I heard it beep at a Target and the register had to cancel the order and restart.)
Structures of Thanks and User Expectations in Workplace Appreciation Systems
Arbitration clauses are allowed because in contracts the tradition is that the parties are allowed to create private rules that will govern their future transaction. You can also nominate the venue and laws that will apply to the contract, even if you don't arbitrate.

The reasoning is that the contract is a bargained document between the parties, and if a party does not like the contract, they are not forced to enter it.

If what you get in return for the contract is not sufficient to join the contract, then you don't execute it.

This is efficient so long as the bargaining power in the market is not highly asymmetrical. The US market is not ideal, but I'm not entirely certain arbitration provisions are a bad idea, regardless.

One reason arbitration provisions might be good, is because its a way for companies to opt out of the hunting territory of the trial lawyers association. The lawyers are another powerful group that has created many kinds of nuisance lawsuits that act as a private tax on corporations in the US. If the private tax is unavoidable, the cost is passed on as a price increase to consumers.

The lack of arbitration clause could manifest itself as increased cost of goods in the current climate, because of the huge cost of nuisance class actions, etc.

Just a perspective.

It is nonsense, because the saying is absolute. It doesn't say "absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence." In reality, evidence of absence sometimes is and sometimes isn't evidence of absence, it depends on the specifics.
