Elm seems to have a much stronger developer UX story than Haskell (just look at how much better its error messages are than ghc's), and the ability to share data models across the frontend-backend border would be awesome -- an end-to-end typechecked stack with easy sharing.

With Elm on the server too, you could easily implement server rendering to initialize the page for fast load times.
As long as you make an attempt to respect the culture and (ideally) make some attempt to learn Japanese - I've found only the most rural areas would dare to treat you poorly. They'll treat you well and when you are out of site they'll confide in friends about the "smelly foreign pig". Without a confidant, you'd never be any the wiser. People with tattoos face a higher risk of discrimination than anyone of a foreign (non-Japanese) race in most any part of Japan.

As with any "rules", there are exceptions. But the above has been my experience (month-long travels totaling several years).

Meanwhile, the U.S has no problems yelling out racist slurs or discriminating against others quite blatantly.
How many simultaneous users does it support?
I guess they didn't get the memo on this in all the pre 2008 countries where supply was being added like crazy and so was credit and prices rose before a huge crash.

It's very naive to think that this is simply any one factor, especially supply and demand alone.

Why are economics conversations so limited?
Great to see that one of the key contributors looks to be an employee at JetBrains (https://github.com/alexeykudinkin), increasing the chance that this may already be or may grow to be an official project.
To address the limited instruction set, the AGC team wrote a software virtual machine (or p-code machine) for the AGC to interpret an entirely new instruction set called the “interpretive language”.

Interestingly, Steve Wozniak would come up with a similar solution for the Apple II about a decade later:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16

SWEET16 is an interpreted byte-code language invented by Steve Wozniak and implemented as part of the Integer BASIC ROM in the Apple II series of computers. It was created because Wozniak needed to manipulate 16-bit pointer data in his implementation of BASIC, and the Apple II was an 8-bit computer.
Everything is good, just hope to add one more big feature, that is a mobile app, something like what Reddit has.
That was a big question for me too. They story says they engineered proprietary delivery trucks and based on the photo they are emblazoned with Yoshi branding. A true contractor would have to own the truck and likely would have his/her own business branding on the truck and would be free to work for any similar service.
I think the general issue here is simply that it's very much in Dan Price's interests to frame this lawsuit as a dispute over paying minimum salaries, and for him to deflect Lucas Price's complaint that Dan was paying himself $1.1MM per year prior to the suit.

The facts seem to dispose completely of Dan Price's argument: the suit was prepared before Lucas Price even knew about the min-salary proposal.
The bay area art scene could be better, but I doubt 10x better. Fort Worth, which I used to compare in my previous comment, has some pretty strong art museums recognized internationally.

https://www.fortworth.com/about/neighborhoods-districts/cult...

Soon Fort Worth will over take San Fransisco in population, and at the last recession was far less disrupted economically. Speaking purely from data and statistics Fort Worth is more diverse than San Fransisco with regards to ethnicity, religion, nationality, and so forth. And I doubt there is a substantial difference in the diversity of food options since I have been to San Fransisco. The weather and public transit are likely superior though.

Otherwise, if I were single and had 10x the income I would likely agree that the bay area is a more fun place to be.
When I didn't manage to make it past my Amazon interviews, I hit a wall. It was a harsh realization that I was either not my best self or that I was not good enough. After a two month slump, I decided that I was just not up to the standards of a rigorous technical interview, but that I could get there with hard work and a new mindset.

I can't tell you not to feel badly about it, but I do want to tell you that 4 years on, it doesn't matter whether I would have been hired by Amazon. In fact, I probably would not have my own company if I had been given an offer.
QUIC is a transport-level protocol developed by Google and intended to improve/replace TCP in settings where you want to run something like HTTP on the topmost layer.

Implementation-wise, it actually runs on top of UDP.

One thing that stands out with this library is the neckbreaking pace of deprecation of old versions of QUIC. I know it's an experimental protocol, so they have free reign, but a lot of the 'new web', and a lot of what Google/Chrome puts out, deprecates old versions very, very fast.
Notice how that link is not specific about what counts as upper class and middle class.

It is not the case that people in the "lower" classes decided not to get any skills. It is that the economy changes over time and their skills are no longer compensated well and, in general, US society is not good at accommodating people to change their skill-sets to move into a new career. You might have anecdotes about people who made such a career change, but for society as a whole, it is too difficult.
In databases class, they used Pi for projection, bowtie for natural join, and sigma for row filtration. They added conditions on the operators with subscripts. SQL is just the standardized version of that.
Anyone have time and interested to drop a pull request to support windows nmake and appveyor ci?
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I will say I've been hesitant to focus on form posting as the product when the service actually provides a toolkit for much more. What I'm aiming for is a complete backend for serverless single page applications. I'm not conveying that message well at all it seems.
To be fair most devs at the time completely ignored the second CPU because it was apparently very hard to make them work together. So they treated it as a single CPU console. Which kinds of defeats the purpose :)
Google used this woman's name on all its templates – she gets messages daily
I think the idea of releasing a vehicle safety system that you apparently have little enough faith in to call a "beta," and marketing said system under the name "Autopilot" and then acting surprised when people treat it as a reliable autonomous control system are pretty cavalier. I was also referring to the attitude (evident in this thread) that since there was a warning it is completely the drivers fault. I certainly think this technology will improve safety. But we should certainly consider what role the technology itself played in accidents---whether because driver's aren't using it as intended or it has a design defect (no sensing at windscreen height).

I get the sense that a lot of people feel like since the intent is good and driver's are opting in that basically anything goes---which seems pretty cavalier to me.
It does seem easy to use, I'll give them that! :)
Or, this is where they figure out how to run a business like this right, and then they (maybe) use that knowledge to launch something in the outside world.
Dreamcast games varied in size massively. Crazy Taxi was only around 100mb. So small in fact that when initially burnt to a CD the drive couldn't load files fast enough (as files were closer to the inner ring of the disc). Tools were then released to 'pad' the game files out to be closer to the outer edge with a dummy file. Files close to the outer edge can be read faster as the drive laser can cover more distance per revolution.

Skies of Arcadia was I believe the biggest ever 'released' - 2x1GB. A group called Echelon did manage to release it after many months/1 year+(?) without anything ripped, sized to fit on 2x700mb CD-R's. They pre-compressed the whole game and wrote a custom on-the-fly decompresser. Apparently this did slow the game down in places, but the technical achievement certainly needs to be appreciated.
Using puzzles for interview questions has never made any sense to me. I have a pile of actual programming problems that I use for interviews, and they tell me more about a candidate than some contrived malarkey about getting some foxes and chickens across a river.
Oh I have been playing and while it is far inferior to the core Pokemon gameplay, I have met over 30 new people because of this game in less than a week. People who I've never talked to at work, I am now talking to.

I have honestly never used an app that has brought me closer together to the people around me. I don't see this being a fad.

A Multi-Level Bayesian Analysis of Racial Bias in Police Shootings
That's what Gravity's spokesperson said, but documentation (provided elsewhere on the thread) suggests otherwise. To be charitable: it's possible that the spokesperson (and Dan Price himself) is simply confused: the suit precedes the 70k salary policy, but that policy was made an issue in the case subsequently.
Question regarding wit.ai and context of conversation
We are having trouble maintaining the context of a conversation. The context is passed from the app back to WIT in certain cases but it's difficult to know when to clear or maintain the context. There may be something we don't understand about maintaining the context correctly. Or how to know when a conversation ends.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Or anyone able to make an introduction to someone who works on product/engineering at wit?
I doubt they'd even accept it—the few cents you send them could be hundreds in tax paperwork preparation.
Its been awhile since I perused order type documentation so anything is possible, but I don't ever remember seeing an order type that can jump a resting limit order from the past on any any exchange I've looked at.

I have seen odd priority rules around how orders get around sweep or self match protections and the like, but not jumping a resting, visible order.

Given the order type doco is public for SEC regulated exchanges I doubt your IP agreement restricts you from slipping me a link right? ;)
Experiments in Chatbots
Using GPS seems like a given for a service like this.

At a minimum, I should be able to open my Yoshi app and say "My car will be [here] for the next 4 hours. Make sure it gets full".
But it would be a backward incompatible change :D

Will work? If it beats Emacs for Rust overall (I assume IntelliJ has full Vim support) I'd definitely buy it.

I tend to mix and match the two. The comma join looks way more natural to me. One thing I do habitually which I don't see other people do much is use aliases.

I learnt SQL through SAS which is where the excessive aliases came from and it kind of stuck with me.
I'm pumped. IntelliJ is a great IDE with a sufficient VIM plugin -- this will be much better than dealing with a mishmash of plugins for VIM that usually don't work on windows.

In theory a drain plug could be designed that will allow draining the old oil and then filling the new from under the car. Changing the filter might be trickier, since not all filters are accessible from the underside (but most are).
If both actors have the options of the first 2 outcomes you described then where does the (-0.5, -0.5) come from?

That outcome cannot be NE by your own given inputs, since both actors can improve their outcomes by switching to a different strategy.
Janitor = low status, which doesn't reflect reality. Plumber = Mario, which can be aspirational in a Tom Sawyer sort of way.

Or maybe he's just trying to stick it to his brother - oh you don't like my large salary? Fine, I'll drop my salary, but don't think you'll see any of it in increased profit for the company because I'll increase employee salaries by the difference just to spite you.

Though if that was the case, it seems to have backfired spectacularly if the article is to be believed about increased profits.
> Why would they care what people think?

If there is one thing I learned from internships and various jobs (I'm still a student), it's that companies pretty much always exist of people who care. If there's an opportunity to spread the name SEGA around without any downsides, good odds you could find someone in the company who's up for that.

Trouble is, you probably need to find whoever was on the original product team, or it's going to cost the company more hours than they'd find it worth.
Goodness, you're full of unfounded assumptions. You also seem unfamiliar with American jurisprudence and the basics of constitutional law - I assume you're not local?

First of all, he did have no reason to stop me in particular -- it was a DUI checkpoint, and they were stopping everyone. DUI checkpoints are perfectly legit, but don't provide a basis for reasonable suspicion to search anyone thus stopped. (They were challenged, but deemed constitutional). Routine traffic stops are based upon an officer's observation of the law being broken, which provides a clear basis for stopping someone.

You seem to be arguing a strawman that I'm not presenting (that this is a slippery slope that leads to nobody obeying lawful orders).

But you are right on one thing: The police don't have the right to stop people unless they have a good reason to do so. This is legally well-established. See, for example, Delaware v. Prouse: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/440/648

DUI checkpoints that are pre-announced and publicized are a valid reason to stop people. Observation of breaking the law, even in minor ways, is another. A broken taillight is sufficient, as is speeding. A license plate scan showing that there's an outstanding warrant - stop away.

But when it comes to expanding the search from a routine traffic stop, the 4th amendment guarantees the right to be free from _unreasonable_ search and seizure. Not from any search and seizure, but from searches and seizures lacking a reasonable basis and in which the search-ee has a reasonable expectation of privacy:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_amendment

Note also that simple "nervousness" is a poor justification for expanding the scope of a stop and search (see State v. Moore, 4th circuit, 2013) http://www.judicial.state.sc.us/opinions/HTMLFiles/COA/5160....

Because of this, a police officer typically doesn't have reasonable suspicion to search your car if they just pull you over at a routine stop. (Obviously, if they see something suspicious -- open container, bag of pot, gun, whatever -- that provides a basis for further search.) But they're legally entitled to ask your permission to dig more -- and that's the behavior I object to, because it unfairly stacks the deck against people less aware of their specific rights under the situation and able to defend themselves legally.

I understood your point about comparing São Paulo to other cities. I just wanted to point out that, in absolute terms (not relative to other ṕlaces), $70k is a great salary for SP standards.

About the $35k claim, let's make the math: currently USD 35k ~= BRL 115k. 115k/12 ~= 9.6k. That means USD 35k/year is roughly BRL 9.6k/month, which is the salary of a Senior Java guy here. Idk about 2000, but it seems like you were doing very good back then.

A lot more enterprises than you think, unfortunately.
I don't think it was random, I happen to have a Colombian passport and I use VPN's on a regular basis. These two don't go well together as you can imagine.

I live between various countries (none of them embargoed by the US, which AFAIK are the only ones excluded from Coinbase) but I have a US company and a passport with those shiny stamps that could clear any doubts about me sneaking through "El Hueco". I was not given a chance to show them however, so I'm just glad I don't use them regularly.

I'm sorry I don't have a great mistery story behind this :P
As the parent said, you should try jobs coming from recruiters on LinkedIn (that's where they hang out the most) US enterprise companies hire consultants through the recruiting agency. InfoSys, Tech Mahindra, DataArt, Altoros, Ness, HCL, a bunch more. They will hire you legally but usually take half of what they agree with the hiring company. Say the hiring company pays $80,000 on a contract you'd only see maybe $40,000 on your employment contract. They take cut of an undisclosed amount. These are legitimate vendors. Basically outsource. Browse LinkedIn.
I can't think of a scenario where you were able to do a legal left turn and it was legal to pass you on the left so they were almost certainly doing something illegal or you were not in the correct lane to turn left...
> That copy protection scheme (outer ring spiral) is quite something.

Yeah about that, I don't get it. Is there data hidden in that spiral that acts as a checksum for the CD or something? Or is it of special material that lights up differently under certain light (like money)?

To me it doesn't look that hard to duplicate a simple spiral, but then I know nothing about it.
Panzer Dragoon Orta was on the x-box. :)

Sega should really make an HD remastering of all of them though. Or even a new one. Especially after the sadness of Star Fox Zero.
Well, at least a stockholder. Which is nothing like complete ownership, especially considering Nintendo is the other elephant with equity.
They probably have contractual restrictions - agreements to help fight against unauthorized copying, or to protect the copyrights of people who create games on the system.

And in general, most console systems are a serious bundle of hacks, mostly tolerated by programmers by the sole fact that you can rely on every system to be identical.
I'm probably the only one here who actually enjoys taking a break from my commute to pull over, refuel and get a drink/snack while I'm at it. But I can totally see where this would work (depending on how much one drives). I can see my wife use this to not have to deal with getting gas, especially when she drives our two babies around. I wonder if they offer both regular and premium gas as my car needs premium (would be good info to have in their website before I'm forced to download the app). Also, reading on their website they claim it's better for the environment to not have to drive to a gas station. Again, this depends on the location, but where I live (SF Bay Area) there's a gas station on almost every main intersection of roads so it's hard to believe that that would take me more gas than for them to have it drive out to my office.
Wouldn't the venture company simply have the right to refuse the purchase, and exercise it?
Well my point is that paying an individual outside of the US is fairly straightforward. They fill out a form guaranteeing the company they don't owe withholding (W8-BEN), or the company keeps 30%. At least that's what the lawyers/accountants I've dealt with have said. Probably harder if you're extending benefits and whatnot.
Ah, I hadn't thought about teaching the novice user to declare their own foreign keys (assuming that the data workflow starts with importing a plaintext CSV into a database) before doing a JOIN. Such a process would force the user to think about what a foreign key column should contain.

(in the past, I've generally avoided teaching table/data altering statements, such as CREATE/DROP/UPDATE, until after thoroughly covering SELECT)

I use SQLite exclusively for teaching, but one thing I miss from PostgreSQL (in my limited usage of it, at least), is how it throws an error when the user attempts to select columns not referenced in a GROUP BY clause:

SELECT id, last_name, COUNT(1) AS people_with_that_name
FROM people
GROUP BY last_name;

`id` is the problematic column here. But in SQLite and MySQL, the interpreter will dutifully include the column even though it has no meaningful interpretation. Come to think of it, SQLite's simplified data types (including implicit type casting) is kind of a pain when it comes to teaching.
Hopefully the Flask team will whip something like that up.

I also want to see this for Django.
I'm gonna take the issue with what you said.
Ironically, I had exactly that problem when driving to Alps at night. Some guy drunk/high out of his mind ambled onto the freeway and just casually walked across while I was heading straight at him at 140 km/h. As soon as I saw him I instinctively dodged. Everyone fell about inside and woke up.
Passed him harmlessly and we drove on. The car didn't even go out of control. I guess the moral of the story is there are often other options than dumb ideas. (Ramming people, really? What if bloody mangled mess comes through your windshield? Second moral of the story is to learn to drive better and maintain your car
In case it helps, there is actually a very low tech solution to booting copied games on Saturn hardware that works with the vast majority of games released (especially expensive/rare/hard to find games like the Treasure releases).

Tape/wedge the drive lid sensor down, power up with a real game in (you don't need to close the lid as the sensor believes the lid is always shut) and allow it do the initial copy protection check on your real disc.

At this point it stops the disc for just less than second - just enough time to pull the real disc out and swap in a CD-R. It takes a little practice and potentially can damage the drive motor if your timing is frequently poor.

Games this won't work with are those spanning multiple discs where you need to swap discs in game to progress.
I've looked into doing this. Flask is too integrated with the WSGI protocol to be easily adapted to this model. It presupposes a number of things about the request and response protocol that are not true in Lambda. You would end up having to write an unwieldy WSGI emulation layer (what Zappa did) and still wouldn't be able to achieve 100% WSGI compatibility, breaking a subset of the plugins.

Most people love Flask because of its beautiful, minimalistic route decorators and hooks. That subset of the API can be easily replicated - Chalice is part of the way there - and I'm hoping it emerges as an API standard, separate from WSGI.
I'm assuming you don't have kids. Kids slurp up every extra moment. And you as a parent are fine with that. Except in the morning when you need to get to work and don't have gas in your car. Then, I'd wager this service is worth even more than $15. In fact, I think these guys should send their email marketing out at 9:45 when harried parents have arrived at work and are still painfully replaying their mornings, trying to come up with a solution to skipping the refueling line.
