I remember the pattern, I do!

Back in the year 1992, when I was 9 years old, I participated in the first tour of Russian programming olympiad. The first challenge was this one:

"On the infinite coordinate grid (positive integers only), start with the number 0 in the cell with coordinates (0,0). Then, in each cell in the neighbourhood, write the largest integer that hadn't yet appeared in the same row or column. Repeat indefinitely.

Find the formula for obtaining the value inside any arbitrary cell in the grid."

I have filled a 16x16 grid using this definition manually (of course, the programming olympiad had nothing to do with computers — similar to whiteboard coding during the job interviews these days), and obtained similar pattern. As this task was by far the most interesting in the problem set, I have spent the entire allotted time trying to figure out the formula, without success — so I got 0 points and went out of the competition.

And now, 24 years later, I see the solution (not the AND; the pattern looks slightly different, perhaps XOR?) But I should have tried bitwise operations back then. Damn it!

Might make sense if you want 100 or 1000 GPUs and don't want to run them 24/7. Usually all cloud computing prices tend to be pretty high if you compare them to just renting or purchasing hardware.

Say what? On the contrary, I think that it's splendidly simple to read LWN, because there's no distraction. It's a good, clean site; it respects the styling I instruct my browser to apply to it; it displays just fine in links, lynx, elinks, ewww, emacs-w3m, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge — if that's not professional, then what is?

The HTML is very clean and readable. They do use CSS.

Granted, it doesn't look trendy. Indeed, it looks like something from the 90s/00s. But once one updates to a20`6 style, one then has to spend money in 2017, 2018, spring 2019, summer 2019, fall 2019, winter 2019, January 2020, February 2020 — one will be paying designers and artists until the end of time.

Would I appreciate a somewhat more current look? Sure. Would I trade good HTML and universal readability for a more current look? Hell no.

Bad management, oversight, and architecting returns bad code. Often team leads know better, but are driven by deadlines and the lack of a skilled workforce (with little time to train them) to produce a product. Of course this leads to turn-over...eventually. People will work for a year, realize that nothing they want to accomplish will happen quickly because of resourcing, then they'll run away. I really don't agree that the human cost of technical debt is a new concept. It's foremost in my mind when I think about giving tools to employees to add new features.

I was with you until you mentioned the Libertarian ideology. Comcast's position is not aided by the "free market". If there was a free market, there would be a ton of other competitors that wouldn't be willing to do this and people could switch over to them.

Comcast has its monopoly position because most cities and states give them local monopoly - which is like the opposite of what a libertarian would allow.
The US and Russia are about even in the times where a nuclear war was possible.[1] I'd argue that Russia has come closer, a submarine was going to arm and fire missles but the second in command refused to give consent.

There was another time where Russia's missle defense system showed an incoming attack.

Nuclear weapons will never be used in our lifetime by a stable country. They serve only as a deterrent, don't invade me or I'll nuke you.

The biggest chance is if an armed weapon falls into the hands of a bad actor. It's also worrisome what will happen to Russia if Putin dies without a successor.

It's going to get closer to war if Russia keeps annexing Europe.

Dialyzer uses success types, which don't always let you know when you have a soundness problem. The only thing you can count on is that if it does cry out, there certainly is something you need to fix. It also lacks parametric polymorphism, which means you often lose a great deal of useful type information. The theory behind Dialyzer is impressive, but I was pretty disappointed with it in practice.

> For a manager, a code base high in technical debt means that feature delivery slows to a crawl, which creates a lot of frustration and awkward moments in conversation about business capability. For a developer, this frustration is even more acute. Nobody likes working with a significant handicap and being unproductive day after day, and that is exactly what this sort of codebase means for developers.

The very same holds for managers and teams in companies that need to deal with organizational debt:

Yeah that's a point I've tried keep us from but she's said similar things not in his presence thankfully.

For us we definitely saw a correlation with acting out and timing of him becoming a big brother. He was already going through a phase of acting out and testing limits but when he found out he was going to be a big brother all that behavior escalated a bit and was more frequent.

At this age they are too young to know how to deal with emotions of not being the center of attention. You almost can't reason with them because they don't act rationally and they just don't know how to deal with their emotions. I've been able to break through with him quite a bit by removing him from the escalating situations and talking to him and convincing him I'm trying to help. It's hard, and doesn't always work but when it does he actually calms down and will tell the truth about his feelings - much of which is related to his brother and some of it is us just not understanding his intent on his actions and reacting to something we think is bad.

In my son's case he's already a bit weird and my wife has on more that one occasion suggested he has autism because he won't eat certain foods, doesn't like loud noises, etc. I think he's unique and creative and has a big imagination like all kids do. I'm not interested in diagnosing him and making him a robot. It's tough at times but we take it day by day.

You're definitely right and it's not an easy task.

However, I think there's a sweet spot where you could implement a fairly nice boilerplate/framework that would be an 80% solution to the problem which would be a vast improvement over the current state.

The missing 20% would be language specifics and that would be either solved by forking the boilerplate code or writing some kind of callbacks for discovering references given a root object.

edit: Additionally, there's no simple example of using a GC with LLVM. It would be very helpful if there was, for example, a GC'd version of the Kaleidoscope language used in the LLVM tutorials. Even a trivial Lisp-style cons/car/cdr object system coupled with the simplest possible mark'n'sweep GC would be good.
Wow. As long as they don't try to do it for https which is probably impossible unless some major flaw is found or you install some plugin. I think in 2016, installing software for an ISP is so outdated, reminds me of AOL and if they went that route I doubt they'd be able to even write software/plugins for all the devices people use such as iOS. It'd basically be spyware.

I do know though with my ISP DNS, I do get ads and search like results on domains where DNS doesn't resolve, but with Google DNS that never happens :)

If they weren't involved that is OK. But if they supported this organisation in anyway it should be examined. Of course every legal action should be taken with evidence. Legal action was ongoing and slow. And I was supporting event-based trials not something like witch hunt. However after the coup attempt any state would take drastic actions to secure itself. And don't forget that most of the people supports this. (They bombed national council!). There are many background events you may or may not know, like mobbing other soldiers to resign, stealing questions of state entrance exam and sharing in their secretive organisation, businesses were threatened etc. Imagine something like that happens in a (rich) western country. It is hard to imagine, because they wouldn't allow it from the beginning... Situation is not clear and not black&white. In Turkey people try to choose lesser evil every time.

As I described you make a few hundred bucks a months playing in an amateur league, playing in the third league (often the second team of big clubs) gets you a living, playing in the second league you can make a better living and playing in the first league, you can earn really nice money, playing for one of the ~5 top clubs you get to be a millionaire if you are one of the best known of these millionaires you get additional money thrown after you, plus you secured your TV career after your real career is over. You are required to fund a children's sport foundation, though.

For women, you can only make a living in the first league. The distribution is the same. There are no college leagues, where people play at a professional level and get very little money. The whole system is organized around clubs. In rural Germany every village, no matter how small it is, has a church, a choir, a volunteer fire department and a football club. Each of them is at least 100 years old (> 500 for church). All social activity revolves around them. There might be alcohol involved.

We only version the wp-content folder. We have automated db backups that we retain in multiple locations on a schedule.

Our hosts let us duplicate the db various ways between staging/prod and we just do a copy and search+replace for local development. We used to use WP DB Migrate Pro for that last part but it is buggy to the point of nonfunctional now.

So yes, you do have to do plugin setup/site configuration on dev, staging and prod. I don't see a good workaround for that, but the duplication of work leading up to production has allowed us to catch problems before hitting production.
Elixir has a very good getting started guide[0]. I don't know if you have seen this or not. Even in the learning section, it recommends going through the getting started guide. It mentions other books in other resources. I don't know why you think it's hostile to new comers.

This looks very much like the REST API that MS released back in 2011 for the SharePoint hosted Excel Services [1]. Obviously that configuration required a SharePoint deployment on your own server. It looks like this new offering [2] [3] simply makes that functionality available on the MS Cloud for .xls[x] that are stored on OneDrive. IIRC the 2011 SharePoint Excel Services didn't support VBA or addins which are often critical for the heaviest spreadsheets that are most in need of serverization. I can't find any mention of addins or VBA in the docs for this new REST API, so I'm guessing those aren't supported.

You can order backup dedicated server for 155 USD/month with contain 5 x 6TB SAS drives.
It seems that the price is about 6-7usd for TB
So I should get for it 5 x 6 x 6usd = 180USD per month

Other concern is that price for storage isn't linear and multiple small packages are more worth than single big.
So I could use my 1tb to get 2x 500GB and get 10usd instead of 8usd.

joining it with above server I should be able to get 10usd per TB, so 5 x 6 x 10 = 300USD per month - 155 USD for server = 145USD profit monthly?
