The intermixing of macos python and brew installed python has been painful for me in the past.

Specifically, I spent hours and hours trying to fix

import matplotlib.pyplot

producing

ImportError: cannot import name _thread

but only in ipython, not the interpreter. (HAHAHAHA fuck you developers).

A ton of googling and swearing produced the fact that a package named six that does god knows what was being read out of

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six.pyc

instead of

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

rm -rf'ing the former path fixed things, but fuck only knows what else I may have broken. Just because I want to plot things from ipython.

ps -- 6 months ago the above used to work. Why did it stop? I have no bloody idea. But this consumed multiple hours of my life.
You can disprove the claims made from classified sources. "A classified source said you bought 50 kilos of cocaine. We searched your house and found 50 kilos of cocaine." You're still going to jail. If no cocaine turns up, then you should be in the clear.
Biderman made himself known by providing an unequivocal mechanism to destroy hundreds of people's lives. He will forever be known for that, because karma.
I suspect that if you went to a political site that was strongly catered towards the "stay" camp and took a "leave" position, the results would be about the same. The problem is that both sides exist in a self-reinforcing echo-chamber, but they both think that it's only the other side that's ignorant, conformist, and unreasonable. Arguing that the other side is wrong because there are stupid people who support that position for stupid reasons is implicitly arguing that there aren't any stupid people on your side.

If you point to instances of people with idiotic opinions disagreeing with you but you ignore all the idiots who are on your side, you have a huge cognitive blindspot and cease to be credible except to other people with the same blindspot. For instance, your last sentence clearly shows your biases: you skipped over all the comments on this thread that are in the exact same tone, but share your opinion.

In general, there is no point in discussing things with someone who is unable to summarize their opponent's position in terms that the opponent would agree are approximately correct. If you can't get to that point, that demonstrates there's not even enough common understanding to have an argument, since you don't even know what the other side is, or if the person you're talking to is a fair representative of it.

I wonder what the details of the SLA are. I can't find them on the page.
> He dresses like the just got off shift at the factory

This comment baffles me, because one of the most consistent aspects of Trump's image is always being in a suit and tie.

I just searched for "Donald Trump" on Google Images. Nearly every picture has him in a suit and tie. The first wherein he was visibly not wearing a tie or bowtie was #70 (but he was still in a suit). #139 was the second picture lacking a tie (but still in a suit). #176 was the first picture featuring a person without a suit, but it was Michael Moore alongside Donald Trump (still in a suit and tie). #551 was the first image where he was not in a suit, but it was a caricature drawing. #603 was the first photo of Donald Trump where he was not in a suit; it was this picture: http://government.northcrane.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/...

#693 was the second and only other picture in the first 700: http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/5580938f69beddba025...

It seems to me that Trump always wears a suit, except when he's golfing, and is always wearing a collared shirt. I'd be happy to see a picture where "he dresses like [he] just got off shift at the factory".

Software rots if you can no longer set up the exact tool chain and environment (compiler, build tool, OS version, external database, etc) required to build and run it. Even interpreted languages suffer from this problem as features are subtlely changed - by design or accident. It doesn't matter if your project is using an ancient version of VC++ or a two year old version of NodeJS. If it doesn't keep up with the latest releases of the tools then it's already got one foot in the grave.

So by your logic, nobody can ever legitimately apologize for something or change their behavior without being disingenuous. Everybody loses, no matter what they do.
I expect Palmer to come out and issue a public statement about how they violated the trust of their consumers, the lessons they've learned, and what steps they are now taking to mend the relationship that they've damaged.

Just like, you know, how you'd treat another human being you hurt.
How is discussing possible options propaganda? And no, I have no respect for anyone who voted leave,they have fucked millions of people today without any plan how to improve things long term. If there was a plan,I would admire leavers for thinking long term - but there's nothing there.

I go back and forth on changing your vote.

Arguments for would be learning something new, or breaking information during the period of the vote. For instance, if a news story broke about a politician, or something hidden in the wording of a bill would be highlighted, then one might want to change their vote.

Also, propaganda/information campaigns would ramp up towards the end of the vote, which could be good or bad.

Arguments against are basically logistical burden and opportunity for fraud. It's simpler for one vote, cast in stone.
Hm, I'm interested to hear why you think 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1 being considered just as dangerous as 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 is more useful than treating 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1 as "semver-safe" and having only 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 be breaking.
I keep meaning to try out Dolphin on my Dell XPS 13 to see how well it runs on integrated GPU's, but it continues to slip my mind. If the framerate is even halfway decent on Gamecube games, I'd be thrilled.

That's not an emulator. It's just a GUI front-end for other emulators.
During the UK EU referendum, I realised something about politics... When people don't know enough about the issues, they'll vote based on the emotional framing of the issues. This makes them incredibly predictable, and I'm talking about people on both sides of the debate. On the Leave side, uninformed voters were drawn to a protectionist mentality. On the Remain side, people were drawn towards a collaborative mentality.

If people are happy to be low information voters, it almost doesn't matter what the other side is voting for, you'll never consider it, you'll just fall in line with what your peers are likely to vote for. There are many formally educated people I saw fall for the low information voter trap, so again this cuts across the board.

If I ever run for office, my lead policy is going to be free puppies for everyone. If people aren't smart enough to take opposing viewpoints seriously then you may as well cut to the chase and appeal directly to their emotions, and pretty much everyone loves puppies. ;-)

Hi Peter,

I have heard different answers to this from different people. Can I earn income from apps on apple store/android etc. if I am on a work permit in the USA? Does it matter if the app was initially launched when I was in India (my home country) or after I moved here?

Thanks!
A knee-high nylon stocking works very well for this method, is very inexpensive and reusable.
Yes, we have webhooks, and a grand total of 1 of our customers uses them. Setting up an HTTP server just to receive a webhook is a lot to ask.

As an ugly American it's just hard to read these posts.

So getting into America is contingent on essentially bragging? It seems like the successful ones are rich kids whom graduated from a "prestigious" American university?
Or, rich kids whom bring a lot of money to the United States to form a start-up?

I got down to the post that seemed to hit the immigration question right on the head. It was about hiring an expensive lawyer to pretty up your resume?

Yea, come here I guess? Once you get here, enough with what school daddy sent you to, and the paper you wrote. Do a good job, and don't brag. One thing about being American is not bragging. Along with act like you have some ethics?

(Yea, go ahead and pound me. I'm just tired of the one's who are claiming Einstein desirability.)

Dude, they were not legally obligated to do this. In fact, they could have easily ignored the vocal minority and focused on the larger consumer base. But they went out of their way to change their decision based on the feedback from the vocal minority which both shows great self-awareness and guts (since we all know the vocal minority is not always right, especially in terms of the bottom line).

Unless your sandboxed in a self contained hardware and software environment (such as an embedded system) you will eventually be screwed. (rot sounds like a gradual degradation its generally not in my position)

Standards changes and OS Updates are the biggest culprit; The Vista update broke a couple of my old programs (written for Windows 95) due to the user access control changes, another was broke due to the fact it interfaced to a piece of hardware on the parallel port and the parallel port and the manufacturer went the way of the dodo.

I have seen a stand-alone DOS 6 program running a machine at a factory. The PC has been replaced three times now is only a few years old but the operator says it still does the job, I also have a 8051 powered clock I built in 1987 that still happily ticks along if I plug it in.

Yo! Sorry, yes. To sign in to the web for Backblaze B2 you can choose to have 2FV enabled - though we require that you at least set up the phone to do this. 2FV is like 2FA except in our implementation, at the moment, the only 2nd factor is a phone. 2FA tends to have a few more options (like apps and such) but it's essentially the same thing.
I feel like this will just anger more people. Better to just accept what happened, take responsibility and ask people to let him move on.

Here's my cold brew recipe. Note that this does create a very caffeinated brew, perhaps twice as strong as a normal espresso, so it is very easy to overdo it (one of the few times I've ever felt the effects of caffeine was with one of my early cold brew attempts, which I realised afterwards was probably equivalent to around 16 shots of espresso, and I can't say I particularly enjoyed the jittery feeling). Anyway, it is great for cold drinks, although I haven't found a way of heating it up which is as good as my espresso machine.

Ingredients
- 40g of beans (4 25ml espresso scoops)
- 250ml water

Method
- Use a grinder to course grind the beans.
- Put grinds in a pyrex measuring jug, add the water, then cover.
- Leave overnight, at room temperature.
- Filter first through a sieve to remove the coarse grinds, then through a coffee filter to remove the fine grinds (it may take several mins to drip through).
- Store in the fridge.

Thank you!

If I understand correctly, there might be an issue because they come to the US and they are working for (and receiving a salary from) a US company -- no matter if the money are paid abroad. Which violates the ESTA condition. Is that what you meant?

To the contrary, if they were working for a EU company (sister of the US company), then they could come to the US under ESTA/working, correct?

As a german, there is a reason Hitler create a centralized government tuned for efficiency; and there is a reason Germany was rebuilt as an inefficient bureaucracy.
Because in the latter you only get to move fast on something if every single involved person has a natural understanding that this is the right thing to do, has to be done, and why did it take so long?

Inefficient government makes it harder to move against your own population without open military action.
> Software doesn't rot.

On the face it, that's true. But the reality is that the environment that software runs in is constantly evolving and software that doesn't also change slowly starts working worse until it stops working entirely. We have plenty of software at my work that hasn't changed fundamentally in 10 years and can no longer be used.

Lots of really old software requires equally unchanged old environments and old hardware and that hardware slowly rots too.
I think this is a chance for the UK to overthrow Switzerland in private banking. For the rest of us, who are not so private in banking, its time to consider moving to Berlin.
I agree with you about the logistics; it might be a better idea for an online voting system (which carries its own set of concerns).

However, assuming one cannot change their vote, I disagree that there is more opportunity for tampering. Each count of the vote is basically a statistical sampling, and it should stay relatively the same.

Here in the US, all elections are handled locally, at the county level. If there is fraud, it's hard to detect the day of the election, so the fraudulent vote becomes part of the official ballot count. Sure, months later, poll workers, voters, and politicians can be prosecuted for election fraud, but at that point, the election has already long been decided. It's very rare that a real recount is held that becomes the actual result. It's easy for fraud to become the accepted results.

However, with a long voting period with daily rolling counts, there is more opportunity for scrutiny, statistical methods, recounts, etc. If anything funny happens, it will be easier to detect with more time, and prevent it from becoming the official results.
This site is kinda silly because of the #brexit, but I like the city specific approach and think it would be fun for people to have debates about the "ratings" in a positive way. For example, Chattanooga, TN, USA is listed as 'red' for fun and I think it's great fun (I used to live near there, not so close these days). I like smallish cities with lots of walking, and good local food, beer, walking trails, rivers, mountains, music, and attractions. Anyways... for all the Brits looking for a break from #brexit come to the US and have some fun and stay if you'd like (and if we'll let you, that's a different topic unfortunately) or realize you like home and enjoy that too. Happy travels!
If you happen to have some old real Wii remotes and controller accessories lying around, I strongly recommend you pick up a Mayflash DolphinBar [1] from Amazon for around $20.

It's basically a Wii sensor bar combined with Wii-mote compatible Bluetooth radio specifically designed to work with Dolphin (although it will also let you use your Wii-motes as HID controllers and a mouse too).

It will save you a TON of headaches in terms of getting up and running, especially on Windows.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

- Upton Sinclair
Actually no. Go compiler already has "stack promotion" (using "escape analysis"). TOC is in addition to that and I think it's intended to cover the cases not covered by "stack promotion" for example Function A calls Function B which allocates some memory and returns it to Function A which "consumes it" before returning. In this case the allocation can't be promoted to stack because B returns and its stack gets destroyed.. but the allocated memory can still be safely released when Function A returns.
I've been thinking about this before as RAII with optional deferring of recollection when batching would be advantageous , for instance when you have a high allocation pressure and small blocks.
Comodo has filed for express abandonment of LetsEncrypt trademark applications
I agree, hence asking for more information when someone backs their claims with just, "trust me".

- CIS is a anti-immigration think tank founded to provide numbers for the republican party. The study you link to is cherry picking data regarding location and prevailing wage.

- There is also no way to prove if there is or is not a labor shortage. I think we can agree that this is something that can definitely be improved on.

- Wages are long-tail distribution, so you're going to see lower tiers having higher enrollment. UCSIS reviews immigrants based on their experience and education levels, and will typically reject if the employer is under hiring.

- You may be confusing the H1B with the O (Outstanding) visa. H1B is for talented labor only, it doesn't mean manager-level , so I'm not sure why that's your assumption.

- Again, if you're assuming that you're filling the skilled labor shortage, that doesn't guarantee that you're hiring higher-quality skilled labor than the already-employed supply. The socioeconomic environment of skilled labor immigrants may be different enough to warrant such a gap, but that doesn't negate their current skills. We should definitely continue to question and evaluate the quality though.

- And how exactly is a 3.7% drop in CS wages attributable to the H1B program? H1B immigration caps (supply) haven't changed for years. H1B visa != outsourcing.

- You'll need to prove this claim with more than just "trust me" too.

This may come across as harsh, but your feelings don't really matter on the issue because they are likely biased. The U.S. is currently at a record low of unemployment, and the H1B caps haven't increased in years, meaning that the H1B visa holders are not likely causing whatever it is you're feeling.

Is that bit about data costs true? I recall paying about $70/month for a 4GB plan at that time. I'm currently paying about $100/month for 12GB shared across two lines. If I were to get a 5GB plan today (they don't offer 4GB), it would cost $75/month. And it would include unlimited talk and SMS, where my old plan had something like 500 minutes of talk and cost an outrageous amount for each SMS.

Are you nuts? We already had control. Now the future of the UK is in jeopardy because of you tinfoil hat brigade.
It's part of the elite narrative about what confuses rubes, so Trump must dress that way.

The reason people are voting for Trump is because he's as openly racist as the Republicans have gotten so far. This is the same reason why Democrats haven't won whites since Kennedy. The question is whether Trump's supporters will suspect that his newly found overtly racist anti-establishment stance is a deception before the election and not turn out, or whether Hillary will make enough Democrats sick that they won't turn out.
I don't think "foreigners have a different culture that I don't like" is a racist statement. For a US citizen it's certainly a hypocritical statement, but the case isn't as clear to me for Europe.
I avoid loyalty to any particular brand, but Pelican makes incredibly durable cases that are unrivaled by anything I (and many anecdotal others) have seen. If you really need to protect something, they are worth the money.
That is what I'm hoping for.

I'm hoping that in a few weeks, after the international wake up call has finally reached the ears of those who voted with emotion instead of logic, there will actually be a full election in the UK.

I then hope that with the backing of the people's vote getting new officials in to office that they resist the call to invoke Article 50, and instead bring grievances to the EU along with some ways that a more fair union can continue moving forward.

This would show a more mature and world class level of leadership; and help to restore the confidence in the rest of the world that the UK won't cut off it's own legs out of spite.
Software doesn't exist in isolation. It interacts with its host OS, shared libraries, other programs, protocols, file formats and external systems. If it can't keep up then it effectively rots even though not a single byte of it has changed.
