So if it costs 1% of the budget to move .1% of the population in 1 year, it would cost 10% of the budget to move 10% of the population in 10 years. Clearly a major expenditure but totally doable.
For me the ability to have articles read to me on my phone while on the go is the key feature. I pay because of that feature alone, and would pay a LOT more to see general improvements in that direction.

They wanted to move the town for over 40 years, but now they're "reeling" from climate change?

Something doesn't add up there.

> "It has been grappling for decades with the loss of buildings and infrastructure caused by storm surges, and it has shrunk over the past 40 years — more than 200 feet of the shore has been eaten away since 1969"

Sounds like they're just tacking on "climate change" to garner more attention to a pre-existing issue.

Example? Standard language that never required a trip to assembly language for system level programming?

On IBM's, PL/I didn't cut it that regard.

On a UNIVAC you could do a lot of system programming in FORTRAN, but only because there were a zillion proprietary extensions that accessed system programming primitives.

BASIC on a Commodore 64 had PEEK() and POKE() but that doesn't count either, very non-standard.

FORTH? Nope... still asm at the bottom.

Concurrent Pascal? Nope... not safe, despite the type checking, because you could twist variant records however you liked. And I think there was asm at the bottom anyway, IIRC.

COBOL, well, CDC COBOL had a bunch of extensions, too, but you still ended up in asm for system programming.

Show me the source code for a device driver in a high-level language that pre-dates C/B/BCPL.
Cache performance is not constant, if it was, we wouldn't even consider it when optimizing.

The point is to use data that was recently fetched into the (faster) cache memory as much as possible instead of incuring the penalty of a cache miss

Cache performance really depends on memory access patterns.

Anyways :) I'm being pedantic here, I should probably go back to work.
It was considered a non-issue, since it's easy to work around. See https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/issues/61

Since HTTP2 is a client->server protocol, the server can close whenever and the client can just open another one.
Docker is actually built on top of lxc, it's just a fancy abstraction layer
I don't think you'll see these problems with the new Docker 1.12 for Mac (no docker toolbox), which brings the experience on the Mac much closer to what you see on Linux boxes.
Similar to what I am reading in Eric Ries' "The Lean Startup". As Ries points out, you have to be careful which metrics are driving development. Only watch metrics that can deliver meaningful insight to help make good business decisions.

Has the "Build, Measure, Learn" development cycle fallen out of favour? Or perhaps, it just applies to a subset of business models.
Is anybody else mildly annoyed by this trend of announcing acquisitions as 'x is joining y'? What's wrong with saying that y has bought x?

Towards the bottom, it mentions that the World Anti-Doping Agency is monitoring it:

if tDCS’s benefits are verified, WADA will judge the technology on two other criteria: whether it risks the health of the athlete, and whether it violates “the spirit of sport.” A positive finding in either category is grounds for a ban.
Thanks for the specifics. I've been eager for past optimization releases, like Snow Leopard, but didn't hear great things about El Cap. My biggest hesitation is that I'm a longtime user of MenuMeters, which is not compatible with El Cap: https://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/.
Interacting with people is not a problem, if there's something meaningful to do. Like working together. I very much enjoy spending time with my family and closest friends.

Socializing with strangers is boring and stressful, and I choose not to do it if possible. I don't feel like this is a condition that needs to be diagnosed and fixed :)
Oh. Sorry.
How about having a criteria as someone who has built successful repositories / architectures / products / company where they were one of main programmers ? In this forum we may have few or know who match this criteria. Can anybody share about them.

Personally I know one of architect in my previous employers. Three qualities stood out - passion, work ethic and down-to-earth apart from tech brilliance.

Passionate - you could compare him to an elite athlete. All the time practicing - in this case coding, tinkering, building.

Work ethic - crazy work ethic. More hours. Days nights did not matter. I had to go to office on two late nights. Once he was there coding and another time he was sleeping on floor.

Down to earth: he was just down to earth. very serene and easy to talk to.

None of the sites I'm scraping do that, mostly.

I'm not scraping high value sites like that (I mostly target amateur original content). It's not really of interest to other businesses. As such, I tend to just run into things like normal cloud-flare wrapped sites, and one place that tried to detect bots and return intentionally garbled data.

If I run into that sort of thing, I guess we'll see.
Honestly, I think a lot of this nannying comes from middle aged people who never had children, but maybe who wanted them and could not have them. So there's an element of ignorance about how autonomous children can be, and also jealousy and revenge against those who have what they wanted and can no longer have.
Same here. When I was 7 I had a half hour walk to/from school. Many of my class mates had similar distances to walk. We we walked along busy roads, and some had to cross them. We'd also be home alone for hours afterwards.

At one point my parents got worried that maybe it was to much, and got me a child minder. I proceeded to boycott her by dropping my school bag, leaving to play outside and not coming back until my parents would be there to pick me up - after a couple of weeks of that they decided it was pointless and let me be at home by myself again instead.
Thanks, Borski! We're really excited about the new tools - it's been a ton of fun figuring out how to combine the machine learning algorithms to get them to spit out actionable advice, figuring out how to make them run fast in Gmail and Outlook, and figuring out how to scale this to 45 million people :)

Biases, prejudices and so on are subtle and take a while to unlearn. If you want to get rid of them, you essentially have to interrogate your own thoughts, for better or worse. If you're not conscious of a bias, you can't get rid of it.

It doesn't suck the fun out of life.
Hi Maciej,

That's true ("ability to operate") but another large factor (for scientific space missions) is the demonstrable benefit to continuing -- even if the spacecraft is fully operable. For instance, New Horizons, once it flew by Pluto, had accomplished its primary science mission, and an end could have been declared at that time.

But then the NH science team put together a rationale for an "extended mission" with the new objective of visiting a Kuiper Belt Object, which was accepted by NASA.

But on the other hand, at the same time, the Dawn spacecraft's proposed extended mission to leave Ceres and visit Adeona, was denied, and it is expected to just orbit Ceres for the rest of its lifetime. (More: http://spaceflightnow.com/2016/07/02/pluto-probes-extended-m...)

So the surplus lifetime might not be used if the further science benefit can't be justified -- against engineering effort, downlink, etc. Sometimes portions of a spacecraft are turned off but the low-bandwidth observations are still taken and downlinked.

Or, sometimes a spacecraft is kept operating, with great engineering effort, even though it is not in great shape.
This medical condition is called withdrawal.

You are right in that discontinuing ADHD medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

But you are dead wrong in that ADHD does not disappear after withdrawal. As it would if it were a drug addiction.

ADHD was there before taking medication, and it will persist long after stopping medication. (If we assume the diagnosis was correct.)
That analogy is not equitable. If you take photographs of a building while on the building's property, they have the right to tell you to stop, or call the police to escort you off if you refuse to do so.

Shoreline gets eaten away by more than climate change. In many places, the shoreline is constantly shifting. Waterfront property is risky!
more than 200 feet of the shore has been eaten away since 1969, ... Efforts to move the town in 1973 ...

Given those dates, it seems a stretch to lay this entirely at the feet of climate change. AIUI, that was before the effects of climate change were being felt (and even before, as deniers like to point out, people were worried about global cooling)

The article says

a barrier island that has been steadily disappearing because of erosion and flooding attributed to climate change.

But provides no explanation of this other than a generic link to articles on the topic of climate change in general.
That pretty awesome.

I would argue that Eastern European countries did have a 'collapse' and a 'massively pivotal event' which afforded them the opportunity to toss the communists from power and start anew.

Nobody in Eastern Europe would even hint at communism these days, so many died and were oppressed ...

This is very different from Vietnam and China wherein they are 'post-Communist' countries trying to 'outgrow' their 20th century communist ideals and find a 'new way'.

I suggest both in China and Vietnam the political apparatus still believes they 'adhere to communist principles'.

Very different from East Europe.

Cultures and histories are so different it's hard to compare.

Arguably, China has had a lot of 'red tape' to deal with for a few thousand years :)

Mammoth Pirates: In Russia's Arctic north, a new kind of gold rush is under way
It definitely has been the case that .NET very nicely golden pathed the Microsoft solutions and working with non-Microsoft options in the same space was quite a bit harder and a lot less golden.

Some of that was intentional (if you are using .NET, you clearly should buy a MS SQL Server license), and some of that was simply that .NET as a culture didn't embrace open source all that much until recently. Most .NET developers traditionally have been in the sort of big-E Enterprise development land where "use what Microsoft sells because we can trust it" and "don't publish anything to open source" have long gone hand in hand.

Both of that definitely seems to be shifting for the better. There are a lot more .NET developers with at least one foot in open source these days, including and especially Microsoft as almost the entirety of .NET itself is now open source. You can also see that the Developer Division at Microsoft is less marketing driven and sees less need to pressure people to stay on the Microsoft sold golden paths and is increasingly happy to help pave over some of the cow paths and make working with non-Microsoft solutions easier than ever before.

Obviously, still a lot of work to do on that front, of course, but if you look at EF Core, for one example, you see much more embrasure of supporting the Microsoft option and the non-Microsoft options. Before EF Core it was hard to imagine seeing PostgreSQL support or SQLite support in EF.

>How can TOS have legal power for the case scraping? A website is a public property. If I'm visiting it without logging in, I don't have a chance to accept TOS.

This is called "clickwrap". There is usually a notice in the footer of each page that says something like "By using this site, you agree to our Terms of Service." Typically, this kind of notice has been held enforceable. More recently, judges have been demanding that such notices be placed more prominently before they're held enforceable (e.g., somewhere above the fold), but that's it.

>Imagine a hotel that makes guests sign a document saying they will not make photographs of the building. If I'm not a guest, I can take photographs of it and I can't even know that would be illegal.

The reasonable laws that exist in meatspace are not applicable online, because once you hit someone else's server, you're considered to be on their property and they have the right to control what you do there. There is no "public property" from which to safely stand and take photographs in the internet.

Also, photographs of structures may not be free to use. Architectural copyrights went into effect in the early 90s and have a term of either 90 or 120 years. Thus, if you take a photograph of a building built in 1991 and the year is not yet 2111, there is a chance that the architect can claim infringement.

Children must be allowed to do dangerous things. Doing dangerous things does not guarantee injury. Children, despite our observations otherwise, do not have a death wish. They have a strong self-preservation instinct and purposefully risky behavior is usually due to ignorance because they don't understand how the world works yet. A child wants to touch the candle flame because they don't know it's hot, not because they want to get burned.

Doing dangerous things is risky though. A child is NOT guaranteed to get hurt everytime but if you allow them to explore the work and engage in risky behavior they will get hurt eventually. It is my goal as a parent to let them do dangerous things from an early age even when it scares me.

At one that means letting them walk without a walker anad without being there to catch them all the time. At two-four it means letting them climb the stairs on their own and letting them swing and go down the slide without hand holding. At 5+ it means letting them build a fire, swim in the creek, shoot a bow and arrow and climb trees. By giving them freedom (and responsibility - but that's another topic) early they learn what their limits are and, I hope, learn to judge for themselves what is safe for them. This may be different for each of my kids and is almost certainly different than what I believe is safe and or appropriate. Of course I am there to veto really misinformed decisions (we are going to build a diving board into this 2 feet pool in the brook!) and to provide direction and guidance.

Putting this into practice has resulted in one broken arm, three staples and numerous small home-treatable cuts and bruises.
I don't always like where this philosophy puts me as a father. I many times say yes and then quietly follow from a distance out of my own fear for their safety.

But because I know what a struggle it is to decide how to raise my children, even if the ultimate decision is that I am not raising them so much as watching them develop and prodding them occasionally, I try very hard not to judge parents who have made different decisions and different trade-offs.

The article doesn't go into much detail about why people judge parents so harshly but mostly focuses on changing social norms. I understand though. I have to actively remind myself NOT to judge parents who make different decisions than I do and I'm only aware of that because I have made decisions that are different than most of my peers and acquaintances.
Yes or not.

It can be built as an Amazon Echo clone.

But the most important feature is that you can embed it to your product/object but with advanced voice technology, such Far-field Voice Capture, Beamforming, Acoustic Source Localization, Nosie Suppression, De-reverberation and Acoustic Echo Cancellation.

And also it contains a lot feature, such touch, Arduino compatible, expansion header pins, etc. So if you want to build a funny toy instrument, ReSpeaker should be good choice. Or embedding ReSpeaker into a robot which you can chat with.

Besides, it's easy to develop another hardware module motor driver.
in my experience a lot of (def not all of it) it comes down to how you market yourself, how you look / present yourself, your confidence, and how you present your past accomplishments.

communication and response time is also pretty huge. Employers love people that get right back to them with details, or at least a response to let them know they are working on it.

I myself am a contractor, but I also hire other contractors under me, so I know a little bit about the hiring of contractors process. Most of the time I start with something small, and work them into the larger jobs. For instance, I'll start them with debugging problem areas of our website / app. If they do well and fit with our remote team, I will give them more and more. Money doesn't matter nearly as much as being able to get the job done so if someone quotes $100/hour vs $75/hour its not even a consideration.

for instance, getting a really nice high def headshot on a website with actual samples of your apps, designs, or projects can really go a long way. (as opposed to an email with written descriptions of what you've done). Active Github pages are great, but its also nice to make a "demo page" of all of your end products.

lastly, it is great to see passion. this might be an active Twitter profile, a blog where you write a monthly post on what you are working on, or even an active Instagram where you take cool pics of your products and interact with others. it isn't mandatory but it definitely sticks out, big time.

I don't make nearly as much as many of the people in here, but I do live a comfortable life where I can travel and have some nice things, and I've been doing so for the last 10 years.

I'm terribly sorry if I upset anyone by sounding arrogant. That wasn't my intention and is probably an unfortunate consequence of making snippy remarks on the internet, particularly ones that seem self-evident to me, even if others have differing perspectives.

That said, I do not see how anyone could not consider Python superior technology to PHP, C superior technology to BCPL and Pascal superior technology to punch cards.
Yeah, that's my point. They're not reeling from climate change, they're reeling from building a city in a really bad spot.
Heh, I just upgraded my Nexus 5 to Android 6 this week.

Been in 4.4 for ages, after testing the awful battery life of Android 5 and going back.

I find the battery life in 6 be about the same as 4.4, after installing xposed framework and Amplify & Greenify modules.

Besides a change in colors from dark to white, and the new lock screen notifications that I'm still thinking about disabling, I don't see a lot in actual improvements using Android 6.
That's part of the answer, but if you're financially independent and chilling that won't get anyone to pay you anything more. It's the ability to walk away from a deal, but it's not the deal itself.

Pardon potential classist/racial undertones of this, but seems that it could be the beginning of H.G. Wells Eloi and Morlocks. Where the Eloi are fragile and afraid and the Morlocks have freedom of movement.

Suburban children get so protected that they actually become a danger to their own progression.
Much as I like iOS (as a normal user, not a dev nor power-user), you'll be surprised how poor battery life is.

Coming from Jolla, with a huge battery life, I was really disappointed that iOS can't make it an entire day without recharging. Even with bluetooth and gps mostly off.
I wouldn't have left my son alone at home when he was 2 years old. That doesn't mean all kids and all homes are the same. The core problem is that people tend to judge these things on reflex, instead of on reflection. And then, to make things worse, that judgment gets enshrined in laws.
