Yeah, it is true that there have been many conflicts in the history everywhere. However, in the modern period, all political borders are drawn and recognized by respecting the current international laws. If not, wars would keep on going forever.

China thinks that it is powerful enough that it can ignore all the laws or re-define them. What they want to say is "I dare any country to cross my paths".

The problem with China is rooted with its expansionism which has brainwashed the majority of its own people. If one cares to trace the history of China back to 2500 yrs ago until the modern days, you can see how China border keeps expanding by eating up its smaller neighboring countries and assimilating them. In this expansionism policy, anywhere a Chinese person touches anytime in the history, in China government's view, that is where China border is. To go along to brainwash its people with this policy, its current and past governments have oppressed their own people and used all of the internal resources, ignoring how unhappy and depressed their citizens are, to support this policy.

Yeah, China, you are powerful now but no countries look at you with respects. I think China only stops when it finishes conquering the entire world.

Glassdoor reports salary and not full comp. Facebook and Google are a lot of stock-based comp. $150k salary at Google is often combined with $200k/year in Google RSUs for a senior engineer who has been there for 5 years.

I find it amusing that every time I bring these numbers up, I get people telling me I'm wrong. I'm not making these up. There are people I know making those salaries. There have been countless people here who have talked about how they make that much. This isn't a secret.

Living on $35k and making $135k doesn't mean you'll bank $100k/yr. Taxes cut into it. Living on $150k and making $350k does. And if you're smart you can live on $80k/yr in the bay area. I even know people living on $35k/yr out here.

Not everyone gets the high paying Google job. Not everyone wants it. But it exists and it pays extremely well.
It's _nara_ "country", not _naera_.
No, my assumption is that there are perhaps 10% of people with high GPAs, and those with a top 1% sat score are no exception.
Right, but this acquisition was post-IPO. The kind of ecosystem people might want to see is larger companies (like ARM) acquiring smaller UK startups. This is not a startup acquisition, and unlikely to fuel further startups.
I'd guess it's not the company keeping GP there; it's GP choosing not to leave.

I think that's a bit harsh when you consider that they could have just set up another monarchy and made themselves the newest round of nobility or something. It was a cutting edge experiment in liberty at the time.

You have a point about the government being set up to serve the wealthy and propertied, but that's likely true no matter which time period you live in.

Well, Gillette has their own product that they have spent billions on R&D and manufacturing. DSC is not even white label, there's not the slightest alteration to the Dorco product. They're just repackaging and selling individual units, identical to drugstore Dorcos.

Sure, DSC is a phenomenon, but their product is Dorco blades, U.S. mail, and some brown packaging.
Easy when you have a megaphone. Just think, "Hey Brietbart readers! My new account is blah blah blah! Stay frosty shitlords!"
Right, it's not a tonne of work if you need it or really want it. But it's still extra effort to move away from a supported package provided by the package management software. Not providing repos means you lose the users who might want to play around with it but don't have any packaging experience. This shouldn't be very controversial.

You also neglect stock purchase plans and RSUs, which are the majority of many engineers' compensation. You could make $160k per year at Apple or Google and get $200k of stock every year as well.

Introducing a new continuous integration stack for AWS: the Elastic CI Stack
I'm not convinced that ST3 is better than the alternative. If we vote yes, we're locked in to an incomplete transportation network for decades to come, because ST3 isn't even trying to build most of what Seattle needs; ST3 will push the rest of what we need so far into the future that there will be no hope of getting a complete transit network within my lifetime.

If we vote no, we have a chance to keep working on it. They'll have to try again in four years. The demographic shift toward reurbanization will continue. Seattle's political power will continue to grow. The ST2 bonds which are limiting us so heavily will continue to expire. We might actually be able to get a better deal if we wait - and we certainly won't get a worse one.
Sure, but is the smell because of OData or is that smell mostly coming from the messy old enterprise cruft that an OData veneer has been applied over? I can't really speak to how Dynamics did this in detail, but on my crusty enterprise platform with a huge existing api surface we did a veneering project as a rest v1 using OData (intentionally avoiding esoteric bits, but using query, $metadata, and limited relationships). It does have an enterprisy cobweb feel in places but I think that'd be present if we'd done it without OData as well.
I do this too, especially when Google insists it knows my question better than I do. I'll actually Google the word "bing" in this case.

It feels like a vote of no confidence. I would be absolutely shocked if Google's algorithm doesn't have a special alarm bell for "2 dozen search query redefinitions and then they typed fucking 'Bing' into me."
A couple of years ago, near dusk, I heard a hell of a bird ruckus and went out to the front porch to have a look. What I saw blew me away: a young coyote was making haste down the middle of the street, ears down and tail between its legs being pursued by a very noisy aggressive murder of crows. They literally chased him out of the neighborhood.
> At ENSIME the vast majority of communication is through popular channels: github.com (non-free), gitter.im (non-free), meet.jit.si (libre) and twitter.com (non-free)

How does one know which of those four channels to use? Are people expected to follow all four of them if they want to keep informed about the project?

Wouldn't it be easier to have just one channel that is universally available? Email would be the obvious choice, and since you have to provide an email address to sign up at Github, you are already implicitly requiring your contributors to have email.
The block lists, especially the non-publicly published ones, are awful.

I got in a well mannered Twitter argument - as a pacifist I was arguing that violence is never the answer, against a tweet promoting violence by a fairly popular Twitter user. They thew some foul language my way before blocking me. Fine, they don't want to talk to me. I can live with that.

The kicker though was I subsequently found a number of other completely unrelated things like @PicardTips blocking me as well. It took me a while to understand what had happened. I tried emailing @PicardTips to no avail. Sigh.

A world where expressing an opinion any other person finds offensive leads to blacklisting isn't a world I want to live in.
Btw DuckDuckGo is based on Yahoo search which itself is based on Bing. I tried DDG but I cannot live with its high response time (obviously can't be improve due two times indirection) and the Bing results are worse.

Lisp worked well before C was even conceived. It's that C could be fitted on less expensive hardware, which was in turn easier to market to companies. C and UNIX success is a literal "worse is better" example - crappy solutions (compared to other contemporary ones), but with smaller up-front costs, so easier to sell. Buyers didn't seem to care that it costed more down the line.
Suspending Patrick McHardy as coreteam member
I honestly don't do much with the data, in fact I rarely look at it. I do use it to determine sane budgets for various categories of my life, and I sum the entries every few days so I can tell at a glance how close I am to exhausting those budgets. I also find that there's a psychological benefit--when I have to track every purchase I spend less money.

I spend considerably less than an hour a week making these entries, perhaps around 15 minutes. If I was interested in having a more nuanced view of my finances with graphs, &c I'd probably leverage software to save me time.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're seeing a fake rank increase due to personalization. Bing figured out what you're looking for(your site), so it bumps it up the page. Try a device you haven't used yet?

If not, it's hard to say why. There are a few factors.

-Bing might have taken longer to crawl new content.

-Bing seems to value exact keyword matches more than Google does.

-Google likes to show multiple types of content if a query's intent is ambiguous. Bing tends not to do this.

I just published a book with Packt (https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/django-project-blue...) and I'd like to add that what happens in the review process mostly depends on the author.

The way it worked for me was that they got the first draft of the chapter reviewed by a technical reviewer, and I got the comments. After that, it was all up to me. I chose to fix those mistakes, and some things I chose to ignore. I asked my editor to forward my comments to the technical reviewer, but I doubt that ever happened, since I never heard anything from the reviewer again.

Like it's mentioned in a couple of places in this thread, Packt isn't the best publishing company out there. Their editorial and review standards can be improved a lot, but I'm happy that I got a chance to get my name on a published book because of them.
> Some complexity falls into a sliding scale where there is more cognitive load while learning, but it pays of in the every day usage.

I think quite a lot of complexity falls into this scale, and the quest for simplicity - or rather, "user-friendliness" - in computing is utterly misguided. The difference between a toy and a tool is that a tool exchanges more upfront learning requirement for ability to get more done. Not just more efficiently, but more. We're doing ourselves, and the world, a huge disservice by expecting that everything - be it a website, an IDE or a programming language - should be able to be mastered in first 5 seconds of exposure. The only way to achieve that is to dumb the product down.

In other words, we need more learning culture (or even RTFM culture), less "user-friendliness".

It's not about humans not deciding things.

It's about:

1. Creating a protocol (Ethereum)
2. Making claims about what this protocol can do; attract investments
3. When the protocol is shown the be flawed: discard it

The very value proposition of Ethereum is that it's a protocol. When the authors suddenly "change the protocol", it amounts to the reference implementation of the protocol changing to be incompatible with all other alternative implementations of the protocol. This has no value in the real world. The value proposition (the protocol) is now gone. Investors invested $150 million in a protocol, not an computer program distributed by the "official developers", which everyone must use in order to access the system.
I've decided recently that I'm voting against ST3. It bums me out because I've always been a big transit supporter (I know how republicans voting for Hillary must feel).

The thing is, ST3 builds a ton of crap to the outer suburbs and 50 billion dollars and 20 years later it will still be a pain to get from the University District to Ballard. But at least the taxpayers of Bothell will have an easy way to get to Totem Lake!

> The question is not whether the market picks the optimal outcome, but whether a committee of experts would do better. The experience of central planning within the Warsaw Pact should hint at the answer...

The experience of the entire Internet seems to suggest a different answer, so it's not that central planning is always bad. Note that the best, most reliable, most stable parts of the Internet were invented and codified long ago, when there weren't many people on-line and there wasn't that much commercial interest in it. Today we can rarely if ever agree on any kind of protocol or standard, and if we do, it's usually a huge bloated mess.
> I wish we could just build streetcars all over the whole city instead of this ST3 mess.

Amen to this but I want them only in dedicated lanes, preferably lanes separated from general purpose traffic by more than just paint. A streetcar would be great on, say, 23rd Ave between University Station and Mt Baker Station. Or replace route 7 down Rainier and connect it to the south side of the First Hill Streetcar. (As an aside: the Broadway segment of the FHSC is an example of how not to build them.) Or, if I'm wishing for ponies, start at Carkeek Park and go south on 8th Ave NW, turn right onto NW 85th St to go west until either the terminus of the most northern Ballard Link stop (and that's where you plant the maintenance and operations base for this streetcar) or continue on to the foot of the Ballard Bridge and run the M&O shop into the run down area just south of Ballard Blocks.

> And I have to say, coloring books are pretty fun. Which is to say, I really like UNIX. The (almost) everything is a file model makes dealing with external devices remarkably simple, compared to other systems. And the predisposal towards textuality makes system configuration fairly simple, with little need for special tools. Pipes and sockets make program composition simple, so you can build several small programs instead of one big one, or compose together smaller programs instead of writing a new one. And shell, while not perfect, makes simple automation easy.

I agree completely. But I still think it's fun to let loose on the hardware sometimes ;)

Or maybe it's from someone who actually has paid attention to what is happening in Congress. I've read several blogs from political scientists (Jonathan Bernstein, for example) who have pointed out exactly how obstructionist the GOP controlled Congress was compared to other situations with split government.

Just hitting the highlights: the Senate for 6 out of 8 years has routinely refused to confirm justices, including at the SC level, and refused to confirm administration officials both via filibuster threats from the GOP. Through the House, they've actually shut down the government multiple times (Newt only tried this once, and it backfired badly) and they've threatened to default on all government debt, which is completely unprecedented. And all of this was driven by the GOP.

That you can even compare this to 2 years of partial obstruction under Clinton shows how little attention you actually have paid to this.

> It seems to me there is a lot of VIM vocabulary that is very different from what is common on the desktop today.

The operating word here being "today". Vim - and Emacs - are relics from the era when computing was much more saner than it is today. They're old, older than most of us here. It's not that hard to learn their vocabulary once you understand all those words are not weird, it's how things were called back before the industry did another circle and reinvented some wheels again.
nice, you hit the nail on the head with this reply.
A Lisp macro is simply a function from an AST (in s-expression form) to an AST. Other than that, it's an ordinary function and has full access to the power of the language.

Implementing C as a parser that builds s-expressions followed by a collection of macros to translate it into Lisp is certainly possible; I did it in 1984. I wouldn't say it was trivial, though; nor was the performance anything special (even then).

I will definitely take a closer look at Graal and Truffle.
In other words, Vim is a professional tool, not a toy for causal user. It offsets steeper learning curve for much more powerful and efficient way of editing text. It's a feature.

"Intuitive" is anything that happens to fit into the preconceptions you have. Vim is older than most software you've ever used, therefore seems unintuitive. If you were born 20 years earlier, it would be perfectly intuitive to you.

I saw the Google IO 2016 presentation where Google acknowledged Android 6.0 didn't actually fully delivered but Android 7.0 is finally there.

What I thought would be a quick few hours a week thing turned into taking up all of my free time over the weekends. And writing the first draft isn't even the most difficult part. In the review stage, you'll be revisiting stuff you wrote more than 5 months ago and we amazed at what a poor job you did then. Of course, time constraints make it impossible to re-write the whole thing, which is something we programmers like doing so much! So you do the best you can and move on.

And the tooling is non-existent. Word documents and emails are what I had to deal with. There were multiple instances in which I was editing the wrong version of the chapter, or the editor was looking at an older version, etc. I hope better tools exist for this process.
