This isn't ruby, not everything's an object. A subject is literally the opposite.

At least a human is "unantastbar" (inviolable, literally untouchable, in the sense of objectivity not tangable) by law. We grant dead body's almost the same respect and I wouldn't contest it, although I find that dead living being is an oxymoron.
Developers from several large public-facing sites have already told me that they're using engines in production. In fact, Kacey Coughlin is giving a talk tonight at the SF Ember meetup about LinkedIn's experience using engines [1]. Granted, the talk is titled "On the Bleeding Edge with Ember Engines", which fairly points out that there are some rough edges left to smooth over.

Still, I think it's a pretty good time to start exploring engines. I'd say that the feature should be quite stable by the time 2.8 stable ships. Plus, we should have a preliminary lazy-loading story finished by then, which has the potential to really impact your app's perceived performance.

I'm just glad that they think I'm stable!

On the first point, you can just open Safari's preferences, head to the Advanced tab, and "show full website address." This is one of the first things I do, as I also dislike this behavior. :)
The benefit of inference is that you get the best of both worlds: you don't manually type-annotate anything, yet types are still statically checked. Does Julia do this?
Women are doing well across the globe (okay, outside of the middle-east). More are going to school and getting higher paying jobs.

Women in Senegal are certainly not free in the same way American women are. When I say, American women are more mean I mean they have more opportunities to try different things and want more from work than just money and when that happens they IT becomes less appealing.
"People of Turkey, go be human shields for my illegal reign by standing in front of the tanks."

Erdogan was willing to let any number of people be killed to prop up his illegal reign. The soldiers in the coup were humanitarians who were unwilling to kill indiscriminately.

By the time Erdogan is done purging the country his body count will be three orders of magnitude higher.
Not taking an option because it's not perfect is called fallacy of perfection.

Try enforcing this on teams that use ORMs like hibernate with 500 developers.

Super, duper, common issue, you will find this at every large shop at some point in its life time, usually around the time of hiring people and expanding extremely fast, and taking on some tech debt.

All functions of extreme scale, hyper growth, and yeah, not following the absolute best practices all the time, but tech debt is like any debt, you get something now, and pay later. If they continue going up and to the right they will be able to afford it.
I have consistently and for a long time wondered what "corporate travel" is thinking of when they offer a list of accommodations. Then again, I sort of hate "very nice hotels". They look like TV soap opera sets which is annoying.

'toadally broken' indeed, I'm hoping that Antoine Jacoutot will come up with a clever work around. That or xfce4-mount-plugin I suppose with doas and a limited permission to run mount without a password.
It is more of a bait and switch more than a click bait type title.

The titles for 99PI are done in a way where your expectations are set up one way, with all the baggage the title implies, and they then turn it around on you. I feel like when they do it well, like the Reefer Madness episode, it expands your understanding of the world. One, by expanding your understanding of what a Reefer is, but it also expands upon a topic that you probably had no interest in so that you now will understand the madness that concerns reefers.
This is in no way criticism against LE, where I work _nothing_ is IPv6 and we do not even have it on any agenda.

But when an "we are going to change the future of the internet"-project makes IPv6 a Prio-2 feature (to be added later, not native from the start) it just shows that we are really not there yet.
this is overly simplistic.
melancholic depression is roughly 3/4 of all cases, the rest is from bipolar disorder, which makes it more likely to for people to kill themselves.

CUDA is not [unqualified] "faster than OpenCL". NVIDIA does design software better than AMD, without a doubt. I think it's likely that NVIDIA decided to push CUDA and lag OCL support if their customers balked at having to port between the two. It's not that hard to port IMO, they're extremely similar.
> I keep reading that, and then I keep reading about people who actually had good experiences with chiropractors.

Many people had good experience with horoscope or homeopathy and so on... I think any reasonable discussion shouldn't be based on personal anecdotes but on serious scientific protocols.

> It's far from the homeopathy agreement that it's bullshit. It also seems like most people arguing against chiropractors have never experienced even a good massage and its benefits.

I'm certainly not saying that all manual therapies are bullshit. Chiropractic doesn't equate to manual therapy.
There is a difference between a surgery removing a brain tumor and someone jerking your neck left and right due to some neck pain.
The job process of hiring a new chemist is more than just reading your papers. And yes, papers, as most people will have published several papers in the process of getting a PhD.

There are references to check up on. There's the ability to present your job talk; the ability to present is an important skill when you work in a company. Some candidates during the interview day might yell at a secretary or send text messages while being interviewed - these are two no-go indicators for most jobs.

Those two examples come from a comment at http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2014/11/03/job... . Another points out a technical screening question one might ask a chemist:

> If I ask a PhD candidate how many protecting groups they know for nitrogen and they can name ten off the top of their head with pros and cons for each – then that tells me something. If all they can come up with is “Ummmm… Boc?” – well that tells me something too.

http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2006/01/29/nam... suggests:

> I think I might work up some questions like that for the next time I interview someone. “Here,” I’ll say, handing over a sheet of paper. “SciFinder says that you can do this reaction any of these six ways. Which one would you recommend trying first, and why?”

A recent grad comments about a job interview, with questions "more along the lines of “do you know some basic transformations and how they occur?”

Given that evidence that there are technical screens for chemists, why do you write fields "especially outside of tech ... don't have independent technical screens", and that interviewers only look at one's single paper publication?

You write: "If we stick with AirBnB".

If we stick with AirBNB then re-read the interview process you linked to earlier. Not only does it not do multiple days of technical screening, as you thought, but it says nothing about a homework assignment; which seems to be a particular point of irritation for you.

You appear to have an incorrect interpretation of what you read, and an incorrect interpretation of what happens in other fields. I suggest that means you may need to re-evaluate what you think you know of the topic.
In a purely personal, sense, I miss the wild west days of the internet. I was an odd kid, never fitting into any of the big groups at school. The classic son of an immigrant with one foot in his parents' world and one foot in his country of birth. The internet's pseudonymity guided my adolescence in a way that's near and dear to my heart. Slow to grow, awkward and ungainly, at school I was nothing more than a dust mote. On the internet, though, I became a leader in my set of niche communities. To this day, some of my closest friends IRL (am I dating myself with that?) come from the reputation and the identity I built up in my particular niche of the internet, driven by my passions (often at the detriment of my grades).

When I see kids today, I feel sad. The internet was an escape for those of us who were awkward, unloved, and bullied. The internet was the playground of the mind. Of course, I see the hypocrisy in my own nostalgia; Here I am, making a living in the Feudal Internet. I hope kids find a way to reclaim the frontier that was once theirs.

Any suggestions?
The parent said a query of a hundred million rows, i.e.: `select * from users where id = ?` when there are a hundred million users. That's obviously not scanning a hundred million rows, since the index will be a b-tree which by the power of logarithms is not so many levels deep.

Like Illniyar, that's also what I interpreted GP to mean when they said:

> "surprised that some NoSQL DB could do a query on hundred million rows in a few seconds"

which is not fast at all. However, if it actually did something on a hundred million rows that would be impressive. Not sure exactly sure which they meant, though.
How to create an app if you aren't technically minded
The older aesthetics reflected an OS that could get everyone excited about its potential, kind of like back in the day when people would look at the graphics depicted on records, VHS covers, video game boxes, ect... Now, nobody draws quite a connection with that sort of art or media so you have something with no soul that conveys the idea that people are just happy with whatever you give them cause they could care less about people making a connection, just that it works and does, at a minimum, what its supposed to do.

A bit off topic... Same idea could be applied to what happened in video games in the past, like Super Mario RPG style transforming into Paper Mario or Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask style being dropped for Wind Waker cartoon like aesthetic, both examples devoid of any human connection built up to that point in previous iterations but it gets the job done as its still the same kind of game.
Please, do not specify "Arial" or "Helvetica" in your font-family... just use "sans-serif" by itself... Just use sans-serif as your main fallback font after specific web-font. This will use the browser default (often Arial in windows, Helvetica on OSX) which is usually the best looking Helvetica-like font, or the user's preference.

Yes, sometimes it's a different font, but usually a better looking default. Helvetica looks hideous on windows, which is why it's often "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif... that said, just use sans-serif unless you want a specific font (with webfont option).

> I'm sure it's a bit more complicated than this and we'd need to see all correspondence, etc. to give an informed opinion

Exactly. We are hearing one side of a story. We have no idea of what promises were made by the startup to the VC firm. (Or vice versa) Those promises could be construed as a contract with enough of a leg to stand on for a suit to be filed. Doesn't mean that the VC firm would win but the important lesson to be learned is that someone who feels wrong can file a suit and potentially extract a settlement which may be cheaper than fighting litigation.
Good errors messages occur because you have enough information to craft said messages. Python has its fair share of utterly uninformative error messages, mostly due to the language's inability to comprehend the structure of user-defined types. Python programmers don't call these “type errors”, but a Haskell or ML programmer would.

ATi has always been bad at openGL performance in 3d content creation apps. That's the reason. Back in 2001 Nvidia ranked supreme and ATi was buggy. Seems these days both can be buggy but Nvidia is still #1. The 6800 was a industry changer.
Foods are now advertised as GMO free. A large portion of people don't even want to eat anything they associate with genetic tampering. Why would they want to use that technology on their kids? We need a popular food or pet with genetic modifications before the general public accepts genetic tech on themselves. So many successful animal trials, as morally sour as that sounds.
Yes, but there is no point in blaming the database for that. It's seriously not a database issue. Particularly Postgres has well exposed internals for monitoring and killing of long running transactions (if you are not setting statement timeout).
The idea is that you have full range of motion when using a barbell or dumbbells compared to a machine that limits your range of motions to a very strict horizontal/vertical axis.

Google Chrome uses your OS's settings for proxy, though, so you can't easily turn it off in most cases, but you can go to

Your absolutely correct that it is not risk free, however, if you do not use foreign keys (which no huge scale mysql install like schemaless does) and you know what your doing (read: calculating the expected load, adding throttles and sanity checks, backups, etc) online alters are extremely feasible with mysql and folks have been doing them for years.

I know first hand shops like FB use a similar method in production.

Also, big note, the whole point of "schemaless" (And other things, like fb's friend feed architecture) is that you don't make schema changes.
I've always considered Job's advertising campaign - "Here's to the Crazy Ones" - which announced his return and Apple's new direction to be such a masterpiece because it was so PERSONAL to Jobs.

A recognition of what it had taken to START apple and the recognition that to survive, and thrive, they would need to get back to those roots, toss the beige boxes to the wind, devil may care here comes the blue bomdi iMacs dammit!

Fernandez' quote puts a finger on it:

"It wasn’t like this glamorous thing. It was this huge risk. Basically people would say, “Why would you quit Hewlett-Packard to go work for a couple of lame ass guys, you know, one of whom is like this hippy guy who wears Birkenstocks and torn jeans and dropped out of school and had to sell a beaten up VW van to just afford to get started on this. . . The short way of saying this, I guess, is there was no startup culture."

And as much of an egoist as Jobs was he nevertheless realized that he had to squarely define & embed that culture of "be crazy / think different" into Apple, and make it bigger than just more to the Jobs' mythos:

"According to Jobs’s biography, two versions were created before it first aired: one with Richard Dreyfuss voiceover, and one with Steve Jobs voiceover.[5] In the morning of the first air date, Jobs decided to go with the Dreyfuss version, stating that it was about Apple." (1)

Maybe it's a matter of screen quality? I don't have the best eyesight, but I saw no discernible difference between the #000 and the #555 when it switched. And neither were either too harsh or too soft on my eyes. But I was looking at it on a macBookPro.

> The much rarer £5+ coins are even more bizarre. According to the Royal Mint, they are legal tender but at the same time, shops and banks do not have to accept them!

Funny story. I've actually had US$2 bills declined because the cashier never knew they existed.

In fact, the US used to print $3 bills as well, but those fell out of favor and eventually removed because of disuse.
Sure, but the show must go on.
AWS still has no native IPv6 support. It's sad really. It's pointless for a project like LE to make IPv6 a first-priority feature when massive providers running the backbone of the internet don't support IPv6 without a ton of fiddling-around.

Do we have to do this song and dance every single time there's a discussion about copyright?

This is yet another example of a semantic argument as a proxy for values. What matters is not whether piracy "is theft", it's how bad we think it is. But by framing the argument as a semantic one, it ensures that people will focus on technicalities and constantly talk past each other, all the while ignoring what actually matters.

Agreeing to either definition of the word "theft" is not going to make either side suddenly change their opinion of piracy.

So can we all just agree that copying a file without consent and taking a physical object without consent are qualitatively different acts, and have a direct discussion of their relative morality instead?
There are multiple copies of the Mona Lisa. Many, many millions of reproductions. Is the value of the original Mona Lisa diminished because of it?

My main takeaway from Yahoo's decline is that you should promote leadership from within. Hiring CEOs from the professional CEO circuit probably killed Yahoo.
I second that. Anything by Dan Abramov is worth your time. In addition to being a brilliant dev he's an excellent teacher. The egghead series is fantastic.
"Unless you are suggesting Microsoft owns patents in using the standards and somehow might sue users over that, but both OATH and IETF have patent grants in place regarding the standards."

Exactly what I'm suggesting. Both Microsoft and IBM regularly file plenty of patents pertaining to about anything they create. They also regularly sue companies over them with Android alone producing hundreds of millions in revenue from such suits. So, one shouldn't use anything from Microsoft that might need to be cloned or ported later unless having a copyright and/or patent license. The risk with them is too high.

"Open source under any particular license (esp. and inc. the GPL) is orthogonal to it being immune to patent suits and/or lock-in/EOL."

A number of OSS licenses specifically include a patent license for use of that tech. It's implied by GPL for forks, too, which is not the case for OSS clones of a closed but free product. So, it's not orthogonal but directly involved via creation of patent licenses & protection of forks. It eliminates a good chunk of the type of liability that Microsoft likes to create.

"It's also orthogonal to security and/or privacy you can have secure apps both with and without open source."

I've made the claim myself & my background in high-assurance security lets me know the difference. This app isn't high-security or evaluated to it by any trusted party. So, we have to assume it's not secure by default like anything else. Nonetheless, this tangent doesn't matter at all to my point that Microsoft + closed-source offering poses risks that Microsoft + GPL offering don't. And that Microsoft makes such risks real for companies often enough for it to matter.

"it's still a better cross-platform option than SMS (and Google Authenticator which isn't as cross-platform, but has as many risks as you mention here as Microsoft's option)."

I don't use these products at all. So, I can't evaluate their features, UX, portability, etc. I'll take your word for it as a user that it might do a good job or offer advantages. My starting point based on comments here would probably be FreeOTP as it's free, open-source, and Apache includes patent provisions. I can imagine it not having Microsoft or Google's features to point I'd use them for overall cost-benefit analysis but I'd certainly have fall-back option.

Electron multiplying CCD cameras can respond to single photons with > 90% quantum efficiency [1] -- that's better than rhodopsin. (I use one on a semi-daily basis.) To take advantage of that sensitivity you need to cool the sensor to -80°C so that thermal noise doesn't swamp your signal, but obviously you can't do that with your eyes.

A rationalization for Evangelicals. Once you realize the distinctions are all rationalizations to appease people that require cultural distinctions, you'll stop trying to rationalize a difference between financial chances.

Think "why am I more comfortable with gambling because my state mandates I pay it" and think about what circumstances led to that, and then think about what prompted you to care at all.
I was wondering how could that happen? It sounds like someone is trying to do two things in parallel.

I would expect

def my_view(request):
try:
receipt = generate_receipt(...)
receipt.send_email(...)
except SomeKindOfEmailError as e:
# okay do something else

and this should be synchronous and thus blocking. So to not block, they either wrote co-routines (asynchronous) or execute things in parallel. Have I interpreted their problem incorrectly?
This is a series of interviews they are doing with early employees, meaning non-founders.
Thanks for clarifying. Those are good points.
They should use SQL Server (which has great replication abilities, although horizontal scale out is still difficult) or MemSQL (which is distributed, scalable, and can do everything they need).

Or use Cassandra which is a perfect fit (or ScyllaDB which is a better version of it).

This all sounds like an aversion to just paying for or using better products when the problem is easily solved.
