At this point, why not just use the more powerful, maintainable, and flexible parser combinators[0]? I thought the point of regex was for quick and dirty bash/grep/perl one-liners and search/replace in vi/emacs. If you're going to actually maintain the code, then use something designed for that.

No. Just go to the channel, read the titles of some of the other videos, and then either walk away, or not, for your own reasons, or not. Or don't, if that really seems so hard.

There are times when you don't care about the schema, though. E.g. when the data is mostly just pass-through, and you need to get it from here to there. Sometimes you need just a tiny bit of schema to know where "there" is (when that's encoded in the data), but you don't really care about the rest at all.

Why is Google ( or any other employer ) your holy grail? Is getting hired at a big five employer seen like the Olympics of software development or something?

I'm genuinely curious.
I think Larrabee was interesting because it had the potential to go the other way - it could emulate existing rasterization APIs decently but would allow for new realtime rendering approaches - like raytracing in to some sparse voxel tree structure for non-animated geometry - maybe do hybrid rendering where you would do deferred shading/rasterization for dynamic scene and then ray trace in to the tree for global illumination with static scene and similar stuff.

I'm sure emulating OpenGL on the CPU has it's uses outside of being a reference for drivers and such - but it's not really that exciting, GPUs are already excellent at doing that kind of rendering.
If I were discrediting the channel as a means to discredit the video or its content, that might be poisoning the well. But the content is (god, I hope) not at issue. Discrediting the channel on its own merits is more of a "hey look, poison!"

Anyway. I'm comfortable that a reasonable person can page through YouTube, Google some names, and determine that no sort of reciprocity is going on here. If they care.

The revisionism is annoying, but fortunately the "community" to which you refer is structured around providing "context" that, to dispassionate observers, merely proves the point.

Your Mom Won’t Get You Your Next Job. Stop Obsessing Over Your Network
Some people love suburbia. You don't have to worry about mugging, loud neighbors, the blight of most urban architecture, piss-stained subways, the ability to own space as opposed to rent it, and more. Being able to have woods in your backyard, being able to walk out to see a stream, being able to get in a car at any time you like and go out to explore...those are sizable benefits.

Oh, and you can bicycle for pleasure with far more safety in most suburban areas, and jog too. You can own your own garden, build a shed or workshop on your own property, and do a lot of things that the worker drone lifestyle of an urban apartment won't let you do.

The research suggests that since 2008, there has been "an empirically observable rise in young men sharing images of their worked-out bodies on social media platforms."

Because social media was still relatively new -- and image sharing barely a thing, back then?

He also interviewed a handful of young gym-going subjects and scoured the use of fitness-related hashtags on popular social media site Instagram, finding that a "large [proportion] of these are images of men displaying their muscular bodies."

That sounds really rigorous. Where can I get a job doing "research" like this?

I agree with "It's a virtue not to make more mental effort than what is strictly necessary." but to have an environment with only "programmers who don't want to think" is not appealing at all to me. I personally want to be surrounding by thinkers.
Most interesting data-analysis problems require multiple iterations. It's not a bad idea to take a couple quick exploratory passes at your data with interactive command-line tools, look at its shape, figure out what areas you need to take a closer look at, and then write real programs to work specifically with those.

I've gotten surprisingly far using just curl/cat/cut/sed/awk/wc & friends. When I need to build on top of that, I go write a real program, but the UNIX-fu tells me what I need to build on top of.

I looked into adding GPIO to an Android/Ubuntu phone a while ago.. Something like this should work with many phones for about $20 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Geeetech-IOIO-OTG-development-board-...

I think mobile phones could be really nice for robotics - they have 4G/wifi/bt connectivity, large battery, touch screen, sensors, IMU, camera, gps, fast CPUs - and they are cheap and often surplus. Especially once mobile GPUs get better and start getting support from machine learning frameworks

I'm assuming you meant "shouldn't", but that's not what a 10-year vesting schedule would mean either (all other things being equal); With a one-year cliff you'd receive your "initial reward" (i.e. fully vested equity) by the end of the first year, then continue to vest on a monthly/quarterly/yearly basis in accordance with the vesting schedule.
I'm not saying I agree with the interview process of developers however it's much harder to become a doctor than a developer. Not to mention faking it and hoping you make it is very common in the software IMO.
Yes, you personally are much better off with no money down (0% equity) and a long-term, fixed rate, tax deductible, low interest and non-recourse mortgage loan. You control the asset (the condo) but have very little downside risk. If prices fall 20%, even if you kept your job, even if you won millions in the lottery, it might be in your self-interest to walk away and let the bank foreclose. I don't think there's a moral dimension to that decision; it's a matter of contract law. But I am pointing out that this is a tragedy of the commons in that millions of people acting this way creates an environment in which downside risk is hugely amplified in the event of significant price declines in the housing market, which is what we saw in 2008 - the system beginning to feed on itself in a vicious downward spiral. When I read things such as your initial comment a little voice in my head says ''here we go again''.

What you spend at a restaurant is someone else's income, so it's not really wasted.

Throwing food away is a net loss of a valuable resource.

This could use a summary… I made it halfway through but took away not much more than the author's basic premise.
I don't buy it. It doesn't seem very plausible that a billionaire (especially one whose businesses rely so heavily on his own name as a brand) would completely destroy his own reputation just to solidify the chances of Clinton winning.
I'm going to guess you've not paid a whole lot of attention to CA politics. The state's voters somehow have this reputation as a bunch of liberal hippies. But let's look at a few items that stand out in my mind:
1. Of the last ten CA governors, six were Republicans.
2. Legal weed: CA said "no".
3. Gay marriage: "no" again.

National elections, sure, the Democrat is almost a shoo-in. But it would seem that as we drift down to the state and local level, CA is a bit more conservative than the hype.
Maybe this is a US thing?

I can't really imagine relying on a restaurant or fast food for day-to-day food.

For a restaurant to survive they will add things to the food to TASTE better than competing restaurants, this will almost always be salt, sugar and oil/butter. Like humans think music recorded slightly louder is richer than music recorded slight quieter, I don't think people realize why one restaurants food tastes better than another.

so sure for socializing, meals while traveling and special occasions restaurants are fantastic, but surely day-to-day it's gotta be bad for you.
> did you literally just stop reading there?

Of course not, what a strange question.
I'm glad. They are disturbing thoughts at first but then they become profoundly liberating.

The "self" or "ego" is an illusion. It's very challenging to see beyond it when you're raised in the competitive, egocentric America. It's not at all obvious until it hits you.

I'm of course not saying that bodies and brains don't exist, just that they are only subjectively and almost arbitrarily separated from Nature. For example, outside of opinions, people are no more significant as entities than, say, doors. Can't doors be considered walls? Sure; it's an opinion, a name for a fuzzily-defined feature of the world. It's not a special entity in a computer system. Same with "person": It's just a name for a concept we have. It's arbitrarily defined. You could just as easily create a new word, like "personite," and define it to mean what we normally think of as a "person" plus everything in a 10-ft-radius sphere from their nose. It's just like "solar system" - it's almost arbitrarily defined. There's not a hidden sphere delineating solar systems just like there's not a hidden mesh delineating our bodies. We just approximately agreed on these definitions. It's also just like the notion of "alive": there's not a cosmic Boolean keeping track of whether or not an aspect of nature is alive or not; "life" is just a concept we invented, almost arbitrarily defined. As I see it, we're always "dying" in a sense: Are you really the person you were this morning? Can you have a conversation with him? I'm pretty sure he's gone, or in a position along the dimension of time that we can't access from this point in time. The idea that you're in some way the same "person" is an illusion of memory: It's just that a very similar brain has memories of what it was like to experience the world in a very similar body this morning.

So yeah, the thing "my body" refers to certainly exists, but it's not some kind of separate or significant "entity" except within our opinionated minds, perhaps; it's just "what the Cosmos is doing in that general area."
For conforming loans, yes. For jumbo loans, no.

I think that is a generous interpretation. I fear that we are probably being asked to ignore Thunderf00t's criticism of the Hyperloop on the basis of the titles of the other videos - without even looking at the content of those videos!

The titles alone should be sufficient for us to agree that Thunderf000t is so terrible, with his terrible 'regressive' politics, that all of his videos are unworthy of watching.

Outer Space Treaty of 1967
Little known fact: OS X has something quite similar to UNC paths, which can probably be used in the same way as an exploitation vector for this bug (and others). Specifically, there is an autofs mounted on /net which will try to mount an NFS share from any IP address if triggered by any process simply accessing a path starting with "/net/(host)/(sharename)".

Incidentally, I don't think this is accessible from an app sandbox, but I expect JetBrains' IDEs aren't sandboxed.

>But believe that we can inspire each other to live in a less wasteful way

Really? Because you literally could not be bothered to read an article with subject matter that you apparently have a interest in, the purpose of which was to "inspire" people to be less wasteful.
This article is a reminder to me that people are bloody critical of things that they don't really understand. Many products are killed, many research ideas never take off even if they're proven to work well. Ideas/products are often killed, not because they weren't great, but for a litany of other reasons having nothing to do with the awesomeness or usefulness of the idea. Products are killed b/c of politics, lack of a massive market, and most importantly poor execution. Even when things fail (research, products, otherwise), they often have a huge impact on the ecosystem. The product might fail (in this case, it really didn't), but the ideas will live on.
Throwing away food is wasteful. The trick is to find an alternative that is less wasteful.

Thought experiment: Collect all of that wasted food. Get it to poor people in the US, refugees, food pantries, someone who can truly use it. How much fuel does that take, driving around collecting it all? How many people does that take? Once you account for both human and energy expenditures, is it a net win? Is it less wasteful, or more, to fix this?
Certainly not in spare time. It has to be part of the daily work. I compare it to running a restaurant. Cleaning up the kitchen every night takes time but it has to be done no matter the circumstances. You can't skip it or the health department will come after you. Unfortunately in programming you can get away with taking shortcuts for a long time.
The US federal government only has the authority to grant holidays to federal employees. Employers are under no obligation to grant those holidays to their employees. How many have Columbus or Veterans day off? Both MLK and Presidents Day? Many employers and unions follow the federal calendar, but many do not. Some state governments do not even follow the federal calendar (MLK especially).

Another federal holiday will just be another week day where most people go to work, but the banks are closed and your mail will not be delivered.
Yes, some people do. That doesn't mean that everyone does, which was the point that seanwilson was making.
I think a large part of the reason people waste so much food is that the human mind was designed for a hunter-gatherer way of life. It's hard to get enough food that way, so people ate everything they got. But today we get our food at supermarkets full of far more than we need, and are encouraged in many subtle ways to do so.

Also, I am thinking that if a food conservation movement started to get some real traction, it would cut into food industry profits, and so that industry would start a campaign to undermine food conservation.
Well, there is the speed argument. Regular expressions (not the pcre kind with backtracking and stuff) are blazing fast. Ragel[1] is a good example of that. In general, though, I actually agree.

How do we know the 5% wasn't fewer fraudulent votes?
Respectfully (because your writing looks fine) but in all honesty, is English your first language?

You ended your quotation on the preposition "without", which alone should tell you that the meaning of the sentence is contingent on what follows. That sentence could end "...without putting on your PPE" or "...without grabbing a popcorn and soda first", completely opposite meanings.

And you called it the "important" part.

I realize it was a strange question. It was a strange quote.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. My point is that you need somewhere to live. It's like being short a stock and you need to cover. Covering a short is closing an investment position, not opening one. If you sell the house, now you're short again and need to cover. Once you buy your second property you are actually investing.

Google is one the few employers that where if you perform well you can get to a 250k+ comp within 5 years. The pay difference between Google and most other companies is quite big after a couple years.

There are obviously other options but Google is one of the few employers where you can say "well if i hit expectations I will be making 250k".
I recognize there's a penalty there, but it also translates into a zero cost for creating/maintaining a vacuum, and the thrust could be used for levitation as well.

It just seems like if it was done this way it would be so much simpler and therefore cheaper to build.
I am interested in ML lately so i like and understand their current approach to solving problems with it. I think that they are leader in "AI race" at the moment seeing how DeepMind is evolving and how they use ML in their products and optimizing their own infrastructure with it. I think I could learn a lot there. I always liked challenges and solving interesting problems and in my opinion Google is a good place to do that. I am not mentioning things like scale etc because that is common in other companies also.
