> I bought a house. The amount of paperwork that I signed without reading was probably around 100 pages.

I bought a house and read every single one of those pages. No change possible--walking was only alternative. Was in too deep and didn't want to lose the house, the earnest money and my time. I understand the note and deed, but didn't get any other benefit.
That's not my experience in Singapore. The one time I was there I had to wait 15 minutes to get a taxi and then had to argue with them to get them to take me where I wanted.

In contrast, Uber took less time and required no negotiation.

I just want simultaneous display of multiple subtitle tracks. :(
I've found the same situation, and it's why it's led me back to printed books (or e-books without wifi). Everything gets turned off, and I read.

Every time I do, I get that same urge to "open a tab", power up my phone, and start playing around.

Eventually the urge does go away, but I have to create a certain artificial environment for myself to force it to.
What stops you from just publishing your secrets for free? Non-competes don't protect secrets, NDAs do. Nobody is suggesting to get rid of NDAs.

Non-competes exist to temporarily protect a company from a former employee taking advantage of the secret knowledge they have. The fair thing here is to pay employees for that time.
The context here is self defense. Not fighting in bars, gang melees, or whatever. Part of that is avoiding fights by defusing confrontations. Another aspect is defense with controlled escalation. First, you get out of the way. If that's insufficient, you trip them. If that's insufficient, you take them down. If that's insufficient, you incapacitate them.

There are many schools of Aikido. I studied in an American dojo that incorporated street-fighting skills. Also substantial work with staff and wooden sword.
What burns me up is that CSS was supposed to allow site authors to have sensible defaults for their pages while enabling me to override them, and yet when I set a dark theme in Firefox all hell breaks loose.

Honestly, the web was better end-user experience for me on links in a terminal: I was able to read text and submit forms, and that's all I really need.
Second vote for this.

This is hands-down the best and most reliable piece of software I've encountered. It's insanely flexible (hello, org mode!), and it is pretty much where I live at work.

Almost never fails me. And if a job changes or a work policy changes and I have to switch from Windows to Mac to Linux or whatever, it makes no difference. I clone a repo with my settings and packages, and I'm pretty much done. Maybe change the path to my repls or node, but for the most part, I can be up and running on a new machine and ready to dev in a few minutes.

Absolutely love this, and never have stability problems.
Corporate death would just be another form of bankruptcy, which hurts shareholders and employees but wouldn't harm anyone else. Actually since this would be a rare form of bankruptcy with plenty of assets, it could be set up to pay restitution to various corporate victims as well.

Thanks for the feedback! Part of our roadmap includes "server-side" observables. This will allow state to be calculated and cached on the server side, so that clients don't have to recalculate the state of the universe every time there is a page load.
I read the entire article :)

How much did you read? It wasn't even the alleged murder that incensed the mob, but the dubious claim of rape:

"But Deeter’s death wasn’t the principal outrage that wagged on everyone’s tongues: His companion, Mary Ball, accused Shipp, Smith, and Cameron of rape (an allegation she’d later recant). It was this — the story of Ball’s alleged assault told over and over — that incensed the white residents of Marion and surrounding towns."

The claim and fear that black men rape white women is a common theme of racist violence in America, historically and today. Supposedly the Charleston shooter said "I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go." (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/18/white-female-sexual...)

The victims of the lynching were guilty of being black, and that is why they were attacked. Although they probably wouldn't have had much luck in the racist criminal justice system, ostensibly they should have been innocent until proven guilty by the legal system, not assumed guilty by a racist lynch mob.

> You're being downvoted because you are not considering land use and zoning issues.

Don't care about downvotes but I care about arguments.

Uber and Lyft will check the drivers license even if government does not make it mandatory because a licensed and well experienced driver is in in the interest of Uber and Lyft.

I could not care less about "zoning laws" which serve no purpose to most sensible people and I dont see why AirBnB should give a damn about zoning laws. Also I would oppose government move to force these laws down people throats by forcing AirBnB hosts to have licenses.

>Hosts need to register to ensure that they don't convert their properties into full time hotels in buildings designed for residential use.

But that is the whole "innovation" in AirBnB. The very fact that AirBnB is cool because one does not have to comply the mountain of regulations that Motel 6 has to comply with.

I will be very happy to live in a residential property that is converted into defacto hotel through AirBnB.
I'm sure I've seen "just doing my job" invoked in a pejorative sense, in close parallel to "just following orders"? When one's job is to harm society, society might step in, even if one "didn't know".

For me it often comes close, but seems to be unable to converge on my actual location.

It always ends up stuck south east of it. I am in San Francisco.

The other passive geo system put a larger circle right around SF when I tried it.

My guess is that none of the hosts it pings are to the north or west of me, or that they stick the hosts on a grid that doesn't wrap around to the nearest location, so it is biased towards the east/south.
Contrast a private software development house with a company that only services government contracts. Why should the second have the benefit of having all the development expenses covered by the tax payer while retaining the same rights as a company that doesn't have those costs covered.

Seems to me that if you fund the development of the product from your own reserves, you have the right to sell to the government like it was any other customer. But if you do it as a work for hire, it's kind of bullshit to get to keep the rights and resell to other parties when possible -- who have already paid the development costs through their taxes.

It would also be a bit skeevy if the government was using tax payer money to develop products that compete with existing off the shelf products. Kind of bad manners to take someone's money and then use that to kill their business too.
I have found in many cases that the rental property is simply bluffing. Just call up the competitor first.

My landlord told me about his exclusive deal that will give me cheap AT&T connection. I simply called up Comcast and they gave me an internet connection that was cheaper.

I think the reliably messing up isn't so much the lack of attention to detail, but the second point: not knowing what the standard is, why it's the standard, and why something should be done in particular way.

Definitely a you don't know what you don't know and it's hard to test safely. Done wrong, this stuff doesn't immediately blow up in your face, that happens later, usually at some future inconvenient time.

I'm still sad that I don't have debuggers, test suites, sandbox environments etc for incorporation/legal work.
I love the game and have played it many times over the last 5 or so years...
But does anyone else feel kind of betrayed/insulted that the project is not open source? The team is mostly just supporting 1 or 2 core devs who take years to release new features - and for a while now tools like dfhack are basically required to play the game.

The game has a huge community of fans but no one can contribute in any meaningful way. I dunno I find it mildly frustrating.
> You have done literally nothing to make that happen, and it's unrelated to you leaving or not.

It's obviously not unrelated. The lawyer they had been working with leaves the firm. They (obviously) find out and this causes them to decide to re-evaluate their choice of firm. They find out where you jumped ship to and go there. Thus their move is a direct result of you moving firms without requiring solicitation.

Like I said, I don't think it's a sufficiently good argument to justify non-competes. But it's absolutely an argument that people make.

Restricting the client is of course another avenue. It's certainly a major contribution to discounts for long-term contracts.

Right you are, and the unfortunate reality is no one particularly cares either. Common Core (in the US) adds to this in its focus not on the problem, not on the solution, not on the method(s) to approach the problem, but rather on a seemingly sensible and internally coherent explanation for arriving at some sort of (not necessarily correct) solution.
these two are the same, since one uses the other. i agree with you as the author of gods, that if it fits your problem, then use golang map by all means. however, if you use golang map and realize that your problem needs the keys to be ordered, for which the ordering is randomized in golang, then having used hashmap in the first place would allow you to easily switch to treemap without any changes to your code, since both implement the same interface. implementing a treemap, consequently also a red-black tree, is something i wouldn't do again. keeping the keys sorted in another golang's native structure is also cumbersome and will lead to consistency issues and unnecessary memory usage. in short: use the data structure that fits your problem, golang native, gods or other. gods attempts to provide well-defined shareable structure for various data structures as to eliminate the need to write that boilerplate logic all over.

Sublime Text 2, Plex, AudioStreamer2.1, LibreOffice, and Unoconv. I'd also like to mention that for archives I prefer Rar & Unrar instead of 7zip. I'd also like to add that I find 7z to be somewhat unreliable. Does anyone else agree or have another alternative?
Same and I've used it for a similar period, I look at alternatives but since apache has never let me down, is ridiculously stable and I know it well I've simply never seen a reason to leave.
Agreed. I just suspect it has similar goals (I've heard it described as "statically typed Erlang" in the past, and addresses concurrency at the type level in ways I suspect MLFE doesn't).

consider an even simpler example of wanting an array that contains no duplicates and is sorted. i can write the logic for that in 5 minutes, but it will be bother memory and cpu inefficient. i would spend another 20 minutes optimizing that logic. by the time i'm done with that, i've forgotten why i needed that in the first place. importing gods' treeset would have been a lot easier, since it solves that problem.
More like SASS, HAML introduces a lot of syntax and is indentation-based right?

Thanks for the reply, I actually understand way better where you're coming from now.

Wray's piece threw me a bit, but I can see what you're objecting to. Apparently I got lucky with my basic econ education and didn't get these ideas pushed too strongly. I didn't actually know "intermediaries re-lending deposits" was taught as anything more than a way to explain banks to children. The reserve requirement theory I did learn, and had never seen deconstructed clearly. I knew that the reserve rate didn't determine money supply, but realizing that central banks offered reserve loans clears up why it's not a problem. Very simply, it looks like I underestimated how badly this is often taught.

All of which is to say, it appears we do agree. Inflation and the consequences of negative interest rates are the only problems with ongoing money creation.

I have mixed reactions to MMT, but I'm absolutely disdainful of "erase the debt now!" fear-mongering. With still-minimal inflation and foreign bond interest paying more than American debt costs, there's really no cause for concern.

Sorry; many are not acquainted with dwarf fortress. This is Tarn's style -- no style and all substance. It's worked for him for a long time because the substance is so substantial.

He's developed a procedural story generator; it doesn't look pretty on the outside, but it's become his life's work and inspired generations of developers.

The visual style of the list may be closer to an academic's webpage (he is a math PhD after all), but for fans of the game, it's a blueprint for a masterpiece.

I personally like the way he designs; write a story then build the game until it could potentially be generated by the game.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you've never brewed fine wine out of plump helmets, never carved the history of your race into the stone wall of the great hall, never scrambled after the goblin attack to remove decaying bodies of slain brethren as the last survivor goes mad with grief and purple miasma fills the mine.

Granted, I may not understand it at all, I only really started reading about it a few hours ago, but here it goes:

It's a decentralized internet, where your computer is the server, and it communicates directly with other computers by calling directly to their addresses.

As a result, e.g. your facebook data is stored on your computer, and other facebook users call your computer for posts.

Because the data is stored locally, and called through relatively universal APIs, any app can be written to call and display from those APIs, combine them, and let them inform each-other in any way you desire.

You can put your facebook in your reddit in your gmail.

That all runs inside a VM which ties your data to your address, so your identity (real or pseudonym) is singular, and uniform across all apps. This creates a real cost to ugly behavior, like spamming or trolling, as addresses are too limited to burn through willy-nilly.

Apps running on that VM are coded in a rather confusing functional language. Lots of people think he made it that confusing to stop newbs from writing for it.

I bought a star.
I don't think he even uses source control, so I imagine the code is not the cleanest.

I have a minor headache because of this page, and while that's not something I would normally complain about, I think it's a perfectly valid thing to say.
That article doesn't talk about constitutionality at all.

It's been a while (and therefore several versions since) I've done audio recording/editing but I was always impressed with Propellerhead's audio software. I remember using Reason alongside Adobe Audition or ProTools or whatever-else and Propellerhead's Reason would be running all these synths in parallel and never hiccup or crash. This was on machines from 2005.

I recall Windows semi-crashing (and Audition or ProTools with it), explorer.exe completely gone and just a desktop background screen and our midi keyboard still controlling a multi-layer synth set-up and playing from the speakers with perfect responsiveness.

(for those who might say that Reason crashed the rest of it and hogged all the resources I'll say this: It never happened when we only had Reason running. It only happened when we had other editing software open as well... and we always had plenty of memory available).

I don't know if their stuff is still the same or has started to rot but there was a point where it was a real engine that blew my mind.
