You're mistaken, Vue doesn't provide any XHR helpers. Look into fetch or superagent, if you need an abstraction.
Glad to see Vue mentioned :) However, Vue is just the view layer. If you want it to communicate with a server, I recommend looking into Vue-Resource.
It's the price and access to many channels. Some channels are not available unless you get cable. A few college football games are not accessible with out cable.

For example with Uverse for $129 I get 18mbps internet, sufficient for my wife and me, HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz and about 50+ other local/network channels we watch from time to time.

If we cut the cable and got a $40-50 Internet package plus the 3 out of 4 of the premium movie channels, sling tv, an antennae with DVR from Amazon, Netflix, maybe Hulu or something else. Spread the antennae cost over 2 years. Our costs would be way more than what we are paying.

We rarely watch our favorite shows live. If we have something coming up we usually wait 10 minutes into the program and fast forward the commercials.
> But having one main syntactic and data structure- the list- is what makes LISP annoying too. You have to translate other syntax and data structures into lists.

This is what macros (especially reader macros) are for. Just translate it once and then save the transformation as a macro and write it the natural way for you.

Of course, that's a lot easier to do/maintain when it is just you working on the project.
Given that most research findings are false (see http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jou... for confirmation), I'm going to need to see replication of this study before I believe it one way or the other.

On the other hand, taking someone from a typical .Net tech shop and putting them into an open source tech shop suddenly gives that open source tech shop a whole new way of thinking; here's a person who is going to approach problems differently, and has a different set of experiences. By not hiring someone who thinks the same as everyone already there, the company becomes stronger.

We should hire for culture-UNfit. Do you think differently? Are you going to give me options nobody else here would have thought of? Do you have experience with technologies that nobody else here does? Are you going to be able to fill in some of the blind spots and vulnerabilities that would stay open if I just hired someone identical to everyone else here?

Hiring another person just the same gets me the ability to do a little more of the same. Hiring someone different gets me something new.
Someone wrote a very nice and detailed guide, however upgrading isn't mentioned[0]

it also suggests operating under bad practices like running gitlab from /home/

I guess I could write a decent salt-formula to do all this, but I can't handle upgrading of gitlab easily, it always breaks when I take a new branch from git and run a gitlab-ctl reconfigure.

You might also consider weighting the state average by population. Populations tend to cluster in cities so I think you'll see the "experienced" cost go higher.
Really, though, that's like saying you wished you had bought Beanie Babies, MtG cards, or even tulips before the Dutch mania. Bitcoin isn't an investment vehicle, it's a cypherpunk Pog, and its value is completely dependent on the behavior of other collectors. There was no logical reason to believe btc would get within an order of magnitude of its current value, and no reason to think it'll be there ten years from now, absent some institutional shift to its use beyond treating it as a curiosity (which would require a degree of liquidity that I don't believe currently exists).

Some people got very lucky -- which is great! But don't lament that you didn't do something that, at the time and without the benefit of hindsight, wasn't really rational.
Can someone please explain why NJ is such a fucked state? Is it just because of the population density, is it the years of government corruption? I just don't get how cost of living here is so nuts and how our economy feels so..."poor"?
I was going to make that exact point. Language design philosophy has shifted. It used to be a question of giving programmers all the tools and trusting them to do it right.

History (the list of CVEs if nothing else) has shown that even the best and most well-intentioned programmers will shoot themselves in the foot on occasion if handed a gun.

Modern language design has shifted to prioritise preventing such footguns, while retaining as much programmer power as possible.

Humans are the source of troubles, and so we give them tools that help them not make mistakes. That's what will actually get Rust adopted (if that actually happens): companies will weigh off the extra productivity (fewer bugs) against the cost of switching.

If you look at previous research on exercise, inflammation, and brain volume:

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2014.05.005

and the mountain of evidence showing that excess visceral fat tissue produces greater levels of chronic inflammation:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3437966/

Then it seems that inflammation would be the first place to start looking for mechanisms linking weight with white matter volume.

Certainly more visceral fat is associated with higher risk of all of the common forms of dementia, and most age-related conditions are sped up in their progression by inflammation.
Am I understanding correctly that while they enumerate a list of potentially useful attack vectors, there are no actual attacks (yet)?

Yes, that's right. It's worked for me as a reasonable replacement for kat for now. Also, the site isn't anywhere near as good as kat but I'm sure given a little more time they'll improve.

I always chalked it up to the "I'm old" sentiment. There hasn't been a language that has actually caused us to think of writing a different kind of software. Sure we write nicer easier code but the software remains the same in the end, buggy, full of problems and not maintainable. These are the problems we should be solving.. the result of what WE code, not how pretty it looks in the ide.

I think many of the copy-protection systems during the times of CDs & VHS were made exactly to prevent you from _sharing_ content with your friends & neighbors. I remember times when you couldn't use your own VHS to record television shows because they crippled the signal somehow. That was usually for your personal use only, and still, they called it "piracy" and "copyright infringement".

While putting it all under the label of "sharing" might not be 100% precise, this whole thing was a "problem" long before we could even dream about broadcasting anything.
Only thing I'd add is that homoiconicity is a big selling point that python doesn't have either. So "macros, a focus on recursion, and homoiconicity" might be the short list of things lisp has that python doesn't. (Common Lisp is also truly multi paradigm, unlike python)
I think people who build these kind of services greatly overestimate peoples' desire to "connect with people who share your passions".
Chicago sees floods of LHC data and new results at the ICHEP 2016 conference
I need to write something about conjugate gradients. The first thing we did in my optimisation class at CIMAT was gradient descent and showed how it was so slow compared to everything else. In practical applications, there's way too much magic in choosing the so-called "learning rate" (known as "step size" in numerical optimisation). Even choosing an optimal step size per iteration (by doing a line search), gradient descent is still slow. Conjugate gradients are a bit more difficult to understand, but they're not that hard to implement if you just blindly copy a few formulae, and they are a dramatic speedup.

All of these blog posts about gradient descent feel like everyone keeps going on about what a great algorithm bubblesort is because it's so easy to understand and implement.
"Torrents and copyright infringement is related, we can all agree on that": torrent is a technology to share files while copyright infringement is an action that violates the copyright. What is the relation between them??? Then according to you, emails and copyright infringement is also related (I can send a mp3 song via emails). Or the steel industry and crimes are related because steel is used to make knives, guns ... used to commit a crime.
> If it took a week to ship and I can do without it for that long, can't I do without it altogether?

No? For this to be true in general requires a complete inability to plan for the future. If my daughter needs diapers but not urgently, that's not something I can just do without. If I need a new wireless router because mine is failing intermittently, I can probably wait a week, but I'm not waiting forever.
Well, your statement is tautological, since those are two terms for the same thing :)

The real question is how "bad" we should consider copyright infringement to be. For many of us, copyright law has lost its moral footing with draconian DRM, extreme examples of RIAA / MPAA litigation, insane Disney-fueled copyright terms, and a corresponding erosion of the public domain. It may not have lost its legal footing, but legality is not morality, and to call something "bad" because it is illegal is disingenuous.

Or should I remind you how many of our modern societal / legal norms were once illegal?

I think that's a bit of a simplistic way of looking at it. There's an easy explanation of why this approach exists though, if you agree with the following statements:

- Race, gender, sexual orientation, disability etc. do not generally affect an individual's skill as an employee

- People from certain groups are under-represented in the industry

- Under-representation generally reflects an underlying problem somewhere, because one would expect various groups to be represented broadly in line with wider society

- One of the problems that can cause under-representation is an existing bias in an industry, which can discourage other members of a group

- One of the approaches to solving this is to help ensure that those groups feel comfortable in the industry

- One of the approaches to helping them feel comfortable is to ensure that communities are inviting, open-minded, and aware that things they say or do may upset or discourage other people, even though they are do not find those things offensive themselves.

It's about observing a trend which seems wrong for various reasons, and attempting to help solve it. I don't doubt for a second that many people go completely overboard on this issue, but outright rejecting any attempt at using, say, gender-neutral language in open-source projects just seems to go completely in the other direction.
How can I know this is safe (short of reading the downloaded source)? There's (apparently) no relation to the actual jquery project, and the downloads are being served over http.
Taking the inverse of a matrix only solves problems which can be described in a specific way. There are situations where you want to optimize an arbitrary function.
Also taking the inverse of a matrix isn't always easy. For example for very large matrices.
The are also problems where the optimal solution changes over time (e.g. trajectory following control). This gives a good guess for the solution at each timestep(t>0) and improving that with gradient descent can be more performant than completely solving for a matrix inverse each time.
You don't need jquery!!! You need... these other things that fewer people use and/or care about.

Just use jQuery. Please.

Telling someone with dementia the truth can be difficult. I don't mean this figuratively, I mean it literally: it is a difficult process because they do not believe you.

> It does not seem to affect cognitive ability

Is that the case long term though? It would be interesting to study the progression of people over the next decade or few to see if it seems to speed up the onset of age related dementia or increase susceptibility to other conditions and illnesses.
> Isn't the better question who invented those things?
I mean we are looking for the first one, which is likely to be the person who invented it.

So... you're assuming that the earliest example we can find will literally be the first creation. The instance where it was invented.

I'm afraid you have an incredibly unrealistic view of the archaeological record.

The odds are infinitesimally low that we will ever find the actual first example of human writing, or that it has even survived.

Agreed. While the Supreme Court has sensibly concluded that there should be limits to free speech (see 'The Court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is directed to inciting, and is likely to incite, imminent lawless action.'[1]), it would be interesting to understand how the legal argument that begins with the postulate:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.

can yield, 'We believe consumers put stock in endorsements and we want to make sure they are not being deceived.'

The Real-Time Philosophy Behind Zeit
> At one point, I developed a hypothesis that for a big software vendor, turning a blind eye to piracy was like a form of "dumping" on the market. Consider a vendor like Microsoft. They could make their money selling legit copies to businesses, and through package deals on new computers.

I have anecdata to support this, actually, though I won't name names. The company in question prided itself on the fact that bootleg copies were being sold for something like $5USD in (I think) Romania, whereas their competitors software was being sold for a few dollars less. For comparison, a single commercial license could set you back over $1000-$4000.

The way I see it, it's the same as offering free or next-to-nothing licenses to students. Not only can students not afford the software, you're competing for the mindshare and the number of people who put "I know how to use this software" on their resume.

You're not hiring someone the same...

You can have an entirely different skill set, knowledge base, experience base, and be a similar fit, culturally.

But you know, if you have an office full of people who enjoy spending their time together, who play games together after work, who go to lunch and laugh and talk, who listen to music out loud and don't prefer to have a library-quiet office space, then hiring someone who prefers to be a loner, who doesnt play well with others, who is arrogant, who needs absolute silence to work... those are pain points.

Culture and skills/experience are not at all related.
