> Where is your email address? Was that stawros or stavros?

It's right in the key!

> Do I really need to copy the key or .asc address, wget it and import?

Is this a failure of keybase? You import it as with any other key, "decrypt from clipboard" in your favorite manager, or similar.

> How do I know if that's your latest key?

I don't know, how do you know that with a keyserver?

> Did not you revoke it last week and forgot to update keybase but didn't forget to update your blog?

Again, same as any other keyserver.

> THERE MUST BE AN EASIER WAY!

It seems that the frustration is with the PGP client, rather than keybase or the server, though.

Rich people who live/ed in actual mansions often end up just using a mini apartment inside the thing and the number one complaint is how long it takes to walk somewhere. They where large for parties, to support staff, and look impressive not because people actually wanted a lot of space.

Mcmansions are designed to be cheap to construct while being easy to sell. Buyers are attracted to distinctive structures as houses blend together when you look at 20+ of the things. They also default to check boxes has a pool y/n not aesthetics. Thus, your idea of 'a few good designs' makes them harder to sell.

Interestingly people with a lot of money (10-100's of millions) now days often go for small but very distinctive buildings. Think frank lloyd wright not huge but art in large part because they don't need or want lot's of staff and will often just rent out structures for party's.
Yeah, as a Model M user, I hate the Red. It has no feedback: worse than a dome keyboard.
> at least focus on ergonomic features rather than gimmicks

FWIW, mechanical switches have helped with my own finger/wrist pain significantly, for one major reason: I don't have to bottom out the keys to make them register. The lack of a sudden stop reduces the stress put on my fingers by a significant amount over 8 hours. I can't make it through 8 hours typing on a mac chicklet keyboard, but I can with any of my mechanical keyboards (red, brown, topre, etc).

The durability of a mechanical keyboard also helps make up their up-front cost - where a rubber dome keyboard tends to only last me 6-8 months, I've yet to replace a mechanical keyboard due to key failure.

I also wouldn't underestimate the value of "personal preference" for something you use for well over 40 hours a week.
I seriously doubt their actual levels of quality have gone downhill. Automotive quality has been on an enormous upswing - the WORST cars of today are better than the BEST cars of 25 years ago.
CouchDB 2.0 feature: Replication
I owned a thinkpad and I was not impressed with its repairability. It was a T61. You can get at the RAM and HD easily enough, but the rest is not made to come apart easily. Lots of taped bits and subtly different fasteners: I think I counted about 65 screws of 8 or so sizes when I disassembled it to replace the motherboard.

All of the thinkpads from that T61 on have seemed like filmsy crap. They look sturdy, but the "metal hinges" are just covers over regular hinges, and there are lots of unsupported plastic bits that are squishy. Try pushing on the bezel at the bottom of your screen. Squish. I also hated the bit of wavy plastic with rattly buttons they put above the keyboard, which just screamed low-quality. My friend's 240 had the same issues. It seems like the thinkpad line is the same as everything else now, they just happen to have chunky industrial styling.
Your interpretation is correct, the intent is that they operate on a purely reactive basis. But it's a show of strength to assuage the public rather than actual security -- if there was an actual security risk then you would most definitely see their rifles loaded properly and the area would be closed off to the public (especially to ambitious photographers).

As for him clutching the grip instead of slung over -- he is probably posing for the picture and he's clearly displaying appropriate trigger discipline, so I wouldn't be concerned.
> ... `goops file`, it adds the file, amends the last commits and force pushes the branch

Note that you should only ever do this if you are absolutely sure that you are the only person pushing to that branch.

You should consider using "--force-with-lease" instead of "--force". Otherwise you'll sooner or later overwrite a coworker's push without a trace. Maybe they'll notice know Git good enough to fix this, but it would still be very, very annoying.

EDIT: Changed "repository" to "branch", mention "--force-with-lease".
It is an ontology company - see their website. This is how they derive their analytics and visualizations. So my points are relevant.

Reading buzzfeed.
I used to live in Silicon Valley for many years. Devil's advocate: Why should Palo Alto provide affordable housing? People who want affordable housing can find it in Menlo Park, East-PA, Mountain View, all of which are just minutes away from Palo Alto. The reason why people don't want to live there, is because they want to live in a neighborhood that's as exclusive/upscale as Palo Alto. And yet, if Palo Alto gave in to demands for Affordable Housing, it would lose that very upscale/exclusivity that people are seeking in the first place.

I've always argued that San Francisco needs more affordable housing, because it's not just a neighborhood, it's a city. Anyone who lives outside of SF has to expend considerable effort in getting to SF, hence why the city has a duty to provide affordable housing within the city. However, this argument doesn't apply to Palo Alto. It might be a city, logistically speaking, but given its small size and extremely close proximity to other "cities" around it, it's really more of a neighborhood than a city. And I don't see the evil in having some neighborhoods within a metro area that are more upscale/exclusive than others.
Far too many people underestimate Bill Gates' technical skills. He was an excellent programmer; and in the early 80s, at the top of his game.

Outside of the Bill Gates is evil bubble, he's regarded as a technical genius and a business genius; which is why he was able to trounce his competition. (Basically, he wrote better code and ran better businesses.)

All of the late 1970s and early 1980s personal computers ran Bill Gates' basic. Basic was their operating system.

Why would someone like this need to copy someone else's OS? He didn't, because he was mart enough to write his own OS, and had the experience to do so. The function number thing is no different then Android copying Java's API.

I'm the developer, and this is a work-in-progress demo of a software package that processes and summarizes the statuses, photos, videos and links pulled from Twitter's streaming API. After supplying a list of hashtags, user accounts and keywords for a particular topic, thousands of tweets per minute (in this example) are mined and the most popular and rising content is curated for display. I am looking for feedback if people would find this useful for their own niche topics of interest, made available as a software-as-a-service package, open-sourced on github, or both. It's not perfectly polished yet...

> Seem neither Von Neumann nor Morgenstern were impressed by Nash's use of Kakutani fixed-points to come up with equilibrium solutions, they see it as impractical and difficult to apply, which it is because it assumes common knowledge of the each player's expected utility.

Von Neumann would have thought no such thing! Nash used a fixed-point theorem for an existence proof, which von Neumann himself had done in earlier work.

"Assumes common knowledge of each player's expected utility" doesn't make sense in this context.

> Since then Nash's theory has been shown to be not very robust with uncertainty.

It's not clear which kind of uncertainty you're referring to here, but it doesn't matter. Nash's theorem is a mathematical theorem, and the proof is sound. It can't become less true over time.
Thanks, I fixed the spelling.

Though it doesn't really matter what he has been doing recently, my point is that there was no lawsuit back in the '80s when he was alive, so we can safely assume he had no proof of actual infringement.

Furthermore, we can infer that what Kildall claimed was "Infringements of CP/M's copyrights" was something more along the lines of what google and oracle are now having massive legal battles over.
You can start with a shallow product and slowly build it up with user feedback to create a defensible and deep product. The key is to continuously improve it.

Note that you have changed your complaint from "OP didn't present any evidence" to that you "didn't find them convincing". (I note that you don't provide any evidence for that claim. Shocking! What, are we supposed to just take you at you word?)

But if that's the case, so what? His article aside, it's undeniable that A) some people like McMansions and that B) a lot of people don't. He also notes right up front, "These principles are for the classical or traditional architecture most residential homes are modeled after." He is trying to make clearer what's going on in case B.

Your liking the McMansions is only proof that you're in category A. Maybe you don't know much about architecture. Maybe you're not a big fan of classical architecture. Maybe you're a fan of something else entirely. It is not proof that he is wrong about what makes something good classical architecture, that his explanation of category-B reactions is useless.

> Anyway there is a long history of weird superstitions and made up rules in subjective arts like this.

Yes, thank god we work in technology, where there are never any fads, superstitions, or made up rules that people really believe and try to enforce inappropriately. </sarcasm>

That technology has a lot of fads, superstitions, and misapplied rules doesn't mean there is no objective reality, that all opinions are arbitrary, that educated taste is meaningless. The same is true of architecture. The same is true of most human activities. Just because a domain is too complicated to be reduced to a small, human-comprehensible set of "objective" axioms doesn't mean there's nothing smart or interesting there. And it certainly doesn't mean we have to be condescending about any attempt to increase clarity.

I'd argue that being skilled in your own right is a surer path than riding coattails. Granted, most of us would like the latter method to be even less reliable, but in most lines of work it's hard to turn down who's hard working and very good at what they do.
I use js objects, of course, which are hash tables.

Would I hire a front-end developer who didn't know that, or didn't know that they had O(1) lookup time? Very possibly. Because there are so many things that are more important than that knowledge when you are actually building software for a business. Things like experience with usability testing, JS/CSS build tools, unit testing and refactoring, a decent eye for graphic design (even if they won't be doing that work themselves), an open-mind and lack of ego -- just off the top of my head, these are all things I'd consider orders of magnitude more important than knowing technical details about hash tables.

I agree, Redis Cluster has been available for a while. From a practical perspective we did not deem it production-ready yet, due to various shortcomings, e.g.:
-Redis Cluter being neither AP nor CP with rather unsatisfying justifications [1]
-Strong scalability issues, for instance with PubSub [2]

But you are right, I think Redis Cluster could be added as a separate system.

Topre key switches aren't bad. They're more expensive than they're likely really worth, but they feel like a cross between a cherry-mx-brown switch and a rubber dome switch. Good feedback, easy on the fingers, and no sound from the switch (it's capacitive, not mechanical).

That said, nothing (silent) quite replicates the action of a buckling spring. MX Blues come close (since they have a piece that "gives" under pressure), but they are not precisely silent (since they have a piece that "gives" under pressure).
Good suggestion. I have looked at pypy in the recent past, but the showstopper is PySide isn't supported.
The Infinite Possibility of No Man’s Sky
It was called, unimaginatively, 'CTOS' for "Convergent Technologies OS". When the 286 came along the original syscall trick quit working, so we invented another one. We simply used an invalid segment and trapped; the offset became the function number. Otherwise it worked identically.

CTOS was message-passing. All system calls were for timers, memory or message manipulation. The messages were a tiny header including a 'request code', some scalar arguments and a set of buffers. OpenFile, Read, everything. On the top of the OS were Services that received messages. There was an OS message dispatch mechanism where Services registered for particular message codes. So the client Sending a message didn't know where their message would end up. The original feature that made money was the 'diskless workstation'. The file system codes were dispatched to Client Agent that simply packaged them up and sent them to a designated Server. Brought down the client workstation cost dramatically.

They're most popular among gamers, since they activate really high on the travel, and are easy to spam. I've typed with them, and you don't really need the feedback, since they activate pretty much the moment you start pressing them down.

Of course, that's a double-edged sword, since I've also activated them while just resting my fingers on the keyboard just a bit too hard.

Do you have a link to evidence in support of #4?

#5 was as expected, taken out of context. All Trump said was that if the Russian did hack Hillary's email, that they release the 'lost/deleted' ones, something FBI wants very much as well.

#7 that isn't very surprising considering Obama's policies are so far to the left of most Republicans and frankly so seldom make any sense.

#8 again, not surprisingly that this was taken out of context by someone. Trump correctly pointed out that NATO has serious issues that need some tough love if they're going to be resolved.
Definitely, don't force push unless you know what you are doing and the implications of force pushing. On the other hand don't blindly listen to people who tell you that force pushing is bad and should always be avoided
> IRs, ASTs and bytecodes are not programming languages. If you insist otherwise because "some might consider it that way", you have no business criticizing the use of words, to be honest.

That's not what I am saying. The point is that compilers make many transformations from "language" to "language", it just happens that other "source languages" are sometimes the target.

> If you have some program that actually translates to assembly language as a target, by all means, call it a transpiler if you want.

For a very long time that was the model most compilers used, and in fact people (mostly those espousing to be advocates of the UNIX philosophy of building small tools that could be chained together) would rail against compilers that directly generated machine code rather than generating assembly that was run through a separate assembler.

So if a compiler that generates assembly source is a transpiler, then the by definition most compilers are transpilers (and all transpilers are compilers which people seem to agree with).
You can use --force-with-lease
That would make for a great property-based test.

The fuel probably has to fully vaporize before it can ignite. This happens in the manifold for a normal EFI, or in the carburetor for an older engine. There's some short period of time that this is happening, and so if you time the injection to happen with enough time to vaporize the fuel before ignition it probably doesn't have enough time to pre-ignite before spark.

This is speculation.

Let's say you're an unemployed single mother, struggling on public programs, looking for work, occasionally selling food stamps to handle emergencies. You worry about how you're going to afford to commute to work before your first paycheck comes in if you CAN find a job, but you can't find a job because your Internet access is so limited, potential employers turn you away because they can tell exactly what your situation is the moment you step in the door (Maybe your shower stopped working, or you've been sleeping on a friend's floor, you can't afford to get your hair done, you only have one old and badly-fitting "interview outfit," you're out of breath after running from the nearest bus stop).

But now you're supposed to go and spend $110+ on a Rasberry Pi and some computer equipment, and find a local hacker space full of rich white dudes and hope that they help you set it up rather than awkwardly avoiding you and quietly wondering how you got in? Class, race, and educational barriers aren't imaginary things that can be solved by the "maker spaces" with friendly utopian facades. In my experience, they're extremely judgmental, fad-driven, and can be overwhelming and demoralizing for those without basic technical knowledge or who don't check at least a few of the "are you one of us?" boxes.

Sure, there are a lot of old people at these meetups and maker spaces, sure there are a lot of women, sure there are a lot of ethnic minorities, people with kids, poor people, people with extremely unprivileged backgrounds, people who don't wear the typical "t-shirt jeans/khakis" uniform, and a lot of people who are just starting out and learning. But you start piling on too many of these "minority statuses" at once, and all of a sudden, it's a very different experience. Even if someone DID have the ability and knowledge to pull this plan together (I mean, I have a master's in software engineering and have been programming professionally for 10 years, but even I would have to do some serious Googling to set up a Rasberry Pi with my TV), why would they willingly put themselves in a potentially ostracizing and embarrassing situation? Very few people want to be the odd one out, or be the subject of speculation, or have their skills and worth questioned while they're in unfamiliar territory, outside of their comfort zone. Questioning why poor people aren't "taking advantage" of these opportunities that are so clearly available to you is just contributing to the problem.
It's not really taught these days, but writing simple Disk Operating Systems isn't that hard. Any decent programmer could do it.

I don't care about these theories because there's nothing much I can do about them. However, I see plenty of so-called "skeptics" that don't question anything and they're always ready to just swallow the official story without even putting much thought into it.

Anyway - who said it has to be "all airlines"? Does it have to be 1 vs all? Couldn't it just be some percentage?

In Operation Mockingbird [1], the CIA found that infiltrating just 25% of media outlets was enough to sway public opinion. That's the type of operation that is obviously still ongoing too.
