It is? It looks like there are maybe two dozen direct flights per day between London and Istanbul, not even looking at other UK or Turkish cities. That's probably thousands of passengers per day. Do they all get questioned when they enter the UK?
I once encountered old code where many of the functions had an argument "bool isUnitTest". Counting the number of things that have to be wrong with the workplace in order for this to occur and to be acceptable is left as an exercise for the reader.

Worst codebase I have ever seen. The incumbents had zero interest in paying down technical debt. Unit tests were just another thing that could be used to game metrics and justify budgets.

Metaphorically speaking, the group issued predatory high-interest payday loans to keep the customer paying increasing amounts of interest on a growing amount of technical debt, forever.

For shorting oil over a month or two, it's fine. The market doesn't get much more information than what we have on the news. Oil tends to move with violence. That's covered in the news. Gas inventories and oil glut is covered too. You do have to dig a bit for rig counts. My larger point is that commodities seem to be much more intuitive. That's up there with "invest in what you know." Besides the advice said only allocate 25% to high risk.
But the production was 18400 cars, which exceeds the 17000.
No she was questioned for being reported as suspicious by a flight attendant.

Given it was only for 15 minutes I imagine pretty quickly it became "oh, it's a book about art, bloody flight attendants are idiots. Ok, well we need to check your bag for any other books, sorry about this". Except more formal than that as they have a nice sheet full of questions they have to ask for this sort of thing (source, I had a knife in my bag at Gatwick once and went through something I imagine was quite similar - except much more my fault obviously).
I thought the recent Onion article "Encouraging New Study Indicates Majority Of U.S. Students Can Now Recognize Math" was satire... but perhaps sadly it isn't as far-fetched as it seems.

Vlad is definitely real. There's a legend that Count Dracula (you know, the vampire) was based on Vlad, but there's not much evidence Stoker took anything but the "Dracole" name (though I think that's the German spelling).
The No More 404s experiment, like all of Test Pilot, is totally opt-in. The whole idea is to let us try things with Firefox, get feedback and iterate quickly.

No More 404s Telemetry ping is only gathering data about how often the Add-on is fired and how often it is clicked. We (Mozilla) don't know anything about URLs. The Wayback Machine has it's own privacy
protections in place that you can learn about here: https://blog.archive.org/2013/10/25/reader-privacy-at-the-in...

Also worth noting, every Test Pilot experiment comes with a brief explainer of all data collections. Here's the explainer for No More 404s:

In addition to the data collected by all Test Pilot experiments, here are the key things you should know about what is happening when you use No More 404s:

* We collect basic usage on how many times you encounter a Page Not Found error (code 404), how many times a cached version of that page exists from Archive.org, and how many times you choose to view the cached version.

* To provide cached versions of pages, we send 404 error page URLs to Archive.org. Archive.org discloses its privacy policy here (https://archive.org/about/terms.php).

* We do not collect URLs of the pages you request or the URLs we send to Archive.org.

* We may share survey results you submit to us and aggregated telemetry data related to this experiment with the Internet Archive.
We seem to have some disagreement about what "in history" means.

I also probably wouldn't aim a massively scoped wealth transfer program at enabling earlier retirement (admittedly you haven't stated a preference for this wealth transfer over other sorts of wealth transfer, you've just stated that it would make SS solvent).

>But I think that's a flawed conclusion. The article notes that many unskilled players play daily fantasy as well. In the NHL (to continue the example), every single player and team is elite compared to all hockey players. If NHL teams played minor and rec league teams, their records would be stunningly lopsided.

To me, this is what it is. If young Humpbacks are vulnerable for a certain amount of time, being good at protecting them would a good idea. They can't risk losing that skill since every time they fail, a young Humpback dies.
No, but how about this: if travel between Syria and the UK you may raise terrorism concerns. So if you are travelling from (or to) Turkey, while carrying things may indicate you had been in (or going to) Syria, then why not ask?

Post-Mortems and Funeral Ceremonies for Failed Startups
Introducing Nova Ventures, a new type of venture firm and startup studio in NYC
There's a LF version of the original as well (I have it).

I think the main advantage is they replaced the horrible squishy row of function keys with mechanical keys. I'm sure there's a lot of internal/firmware changes or whatever too.
I'm quibbling, but: I think the pareto distribution is more realistic than the gaussian. ("80% of your capability is allocated to 20% of your skills")
For sure - I think there's a middle ground, a real sweet spot where infrastructure investment puts able bodies to work, pays them a fair wage (or maybe generous so they spend/kick-start consumerism/pay down debt), and actually improves the long-term outlook of the nation. Those FDR "make work" programs did a lot of good things that I think we'd be wise to study for potential emulation. The CCC initiative.

Politically, to a large voting bloc - disenfranchised Millenials - I think it could pull some water (not to mention stir up encouragement from the older population that "those dang kids" are doing something good with their time). People would have to go where the work is, more than likely, but that's a trade-off. Unfortunately a great deal of the "low interest debt" seems to be funneling into equities and buy-backs, only worsening the transfer of wealth to investor classes rather than working classes, at a time when, really, it doesn't make sense to do that.
Tesla produced over 18,000 cars. They had around 4,000 in transit at the end of the quarter, so they only sold about 14,000. Which is to say, they didn't fall short on production, their production numbers were just biased toward the end of the period in question, making for a large difference between production and sales numbers.

Edit: see below for slightly more accurate numbers, 4,000 in transit is not entirely correct.
> Is this rendering the page remotely and fetching it? If so, it seems like the only point would be to reduce the server load on their end.

No. From the very line you quoted:

> ... the cached data coming from the web is the _content_ of the page, where the checked out repo I'm in is dealing with the _layout_ of the page.

> What better than the real content for that?

Nothing, which is why that's what they do. They figure that the content of the page as it exists when you first load the development server is sufficient, and so cache that content. It seems unnecessary to me to have my development server update the content if a new post goes to production in the middle of my work.
Why does someone who is 30 yrs old have a right to make policy for one who is 70, but not vice versa?

It's a democracy, you know.

By the way, it is the boomer generation that coined the term "Never trust anyone over 30.". Ironic...
Hi, I worked on this at Squarespace.

> Why would a developer want to see a cached version of a page?

Squarespace is a CMS. There's an online content editor where users can add text and images. The content is rendered using a template which contains the HTML/CSS/Template code that defines the layout for the content. The squarespace dev server makes it easier for the developer to work on the template code using content from the live site. I don't think you'd run into a situation where it looked fine locally but broke in production, because the content will be the same.

> why not just make it a portable executable for each platform

NPM has great cross-platform support, and it's used by lots of web developers. That's why we chose NPM. It allowed us to build a cross-platform tool without having to maintain lots of separate installers for various platforms.

Also we wanted to take advantage of the same java based template and less compilers that we use in production (that are open source), which is a large part of why we used java. I'll admit it's not a natural choice for an NPM package, but it's working well for us so far.
Tokyo is one of the most affordable cities in the first world. They also allow pretty much any development that passes through their very liberal zoning code.

Hong Kong and Paris have significant restrictions on development (Hong Kong on where you can build, Paris on how high), and would likely be much more affordable if they were lifted.
It's kind of silly as it's an oral tradition that was eventually written. Half the fun is the variation.
How Mixpanel Created Demand
I had a look and it seems then the Gulenists were having a go at the army for allegedly plotting a coup. Later the big falling out between Erdogan and the Gulenists was when some of them tried to prosecute his cabinet for corruption. Is fighting coups and corruption through the legal system so bad? It seems to be the latter action of having a go at corruption that freaked Erdogan out and made him call them terrorists. He also called academics who signed a petition for peace terrorists and is now saying the west is supporting terrorism for not supporting him now. But he used to seem ok with buying oil from ISIS. He's got some funny ideas about that stuff.

Of course they will consume all of it. That's how GCs typically work. They won't invoke a collection until there's no space left to allocate. Just because they "use all of it" doesn't mean all of that memory is actually live. It just hasn't done a collection yet.
If any generation had the power to change things how things ended up today, it was yours. To pick one example: all the supreme court justices who presided over the Citizens United case were appointed during your prime years.

If a generation inherits a better world than they leave to their kids, I don't think they get to blame how hard it would have been to have done better. The buck's got to stop somewhere.

And having failed to do little but enrich themselves, at the very least your generation can stop talking about lazy and entitled the younger generation is. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Every time a British citizen shows up in Syria fighting for ISIS, the government is criticized heavily for letting someone slip through. It makes the whole country look bad and the people demand that something be done about it. Any protocol which effectively stops people from joining ISIS will have some false positives, and if the consequence of being a false positive is a fifteen-minute interview, then I'm not sure I can find it in myself to be outraged.

If that's an extreme conservative view then stick a toupee on me and call me Trump, I guess. :P
There's just as many (if not more) people doing systems programming as ever, there are just a lot more programmers in general and much of that growth has been in web development.
A good question, and very complicated. For example, what if dogs have always been capable of that emotion, but expressed it differently? What if the evolved response is not the emotion, but to match a specific behavior to the emotion? What if the evolved response is not attached to the emotion and just for our benefit, but the emotion does exist in other situations? It would be so much easier if we could accurately communicate with our dogs.

On that note, I'll leave you with this, which is wonderful: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/4rkdit/text_we_didnt_s...
Well said. General physical strength and health have a lot do with your appetite and your appeal for sex.

But, I guess, there is another factor too. With easy access to too much and uninterrupted entertainment (TV, internet, whatsapp, snapchat etc) our brains may be getting too tired to bother about sex or our brains may be getting too satisfied to desire sex.
But that's only happening in your head. It's an implementation detail of your shell/ide that you are reading numbers in base10.

It varies in the US. Some require it, some have it as optional, some don't ask for it at all.
Same here. This was built by an outstanding outside dev who was using all sorts of undocumented methods to extract content and render a Squarespace template. That server has been awesome, but in order for it to continue to work the project dev had to maintain a JavaScript recreation of Squarespace's templating engine. This new dev server seems to run the same engine they use in the development environment. It works insanely well, even with some of the most complex stuff I've throw at it.
You are a serious dumb fuck in denial.
> My plan quickly proved worthless. The luck of the cards wasn’t with me. My best hand was maybe a Jack High. Worse, the others at the table were betting aggressively and bluffing masterfully. Well, I assumed they were bluffing. I think I actually saw a player’s winning cards only once. I swiftly suffered the fate of fools with money. My opponents cleaned me out in five or six rounds. Poof! My 75 bucks were gone.

Hilarious. I'm going to assume he played 3/6 limit and voluntarily put money in the pot with substandard starting hands. Usually the blinds are 2/3 I think, so after 6 rounds he'd still have $35 if he didn't spend extra money on hands that were jack high.

I can't seem to reply to your reply to this, but the error message has nothing to do with where a class is defined.

You can't compile a part of your application in crystal, there are no linked crystal libraries. You compile your whole app, will all class definitions. The compiler then will have all the type information to know if a method is missing in a subclass, when that method is used from a parent class.
If the trigger to being labeled as 'suspicious' is you carrying a weapon on a plane, then people are less likely to find it unreasonable. If the trigger is the simple act of reading a book, then, no it is not reasonable and should never be. At the _very_ least the airline should issue a full apology and reconsider their shoddy pseudo-security training.
Doesn't really explain why they have to nuke it, even if it is the current site owner. Respecting robots.txt is one thing, but that just means not spidering and archiving the content that is now there. Deleting already archived material based on later changes to robots.txt is a non-obvious behavior, given the usual understanding of the general meaning of robots.txt.
It's a figure of speech. If you take the amount of taxpayer monies spent in questionably necessary war in Iraq (re: genuine threat to US Citizens - not interests - Citizens), toss in a large percentage of predatory student loans ($1T outstanding now), and make healthcare a ticket to insolvency, then yes, functionally speaking, we're broke. I'm just glad in 2008 the entire world felt the monetary swirlie as well, not that it improves the outlook of our species or anything, but purely from self-interest.

Signal Processing was that subject I found difficult and I found no reason to be interested in audio filtering, so I didn't find an incentive to work through that difficulty. Then I see applications of signal processing, like this, that goes beyond simple audio filtering, that makes me want to learn it again. Honestly, this looks like wizardry! It is no surprise, MIT is on the bleeding edge of signal processing and it mainly is due to Dr. Oppenheim . He wrote the textbook on DSP and runs the DSP Group at MIT.
Regardless of income, there's no reason to force developers to be on site. That Mayer went to such great lengths to have her preferred childcare setup at work but didn't extend any options to other parents is extremely poor leadership.
Because that's just daft. The vast majority of stuff I read is about places/things that I want to learn more about.

Or, let me put another angle on it... If I wanted to sneak into a country from another country I shouldn't be sneaking in from. How would I go about not advertising that fact?

The assumption that reading a book about Syria means you want to bomb London is so ludicrous I can't believe it's even up for debate.

I wonder, could we just tell each JVM instance that it may use all of the memory on the system, and then let the OS kill the first VM that allocates more than the system has to offer? Would this get us the same semantics as those of a native application? Or does the JVM preallocate all of the memory that it is allowed to use?

One interesting application of bitwise AND is in cryptography, particularly LRX (logical rotations and xor) algorithms popularized by Keccak/SHA-3. By using only these limited operations, masking (blinding) becomes much more efficient that makes various side channel attacks harder [0]. Several of the CAESAR AEAD competition candidates are LRX. NORX uses only AND, XOR, and rotation.
