Landing vertically is very similar to taking off vertically in terms of the physical requirements of the vehicle. If you want to land like a plane, you need a much more complex design, which is almost certainly worse at taking off.

So as long as you can work out how to control it reliably, vertical landing is a lot more efficient than horizontal landing.
While it is a feel good story - that's also a remarkable reminder of how little do we know. Sure, we most likely have few full instances of Tasmanian Devil's DNA (accounting for reading errors that is). This just tells me how far off we are from actual understanding how this machinery adjusted to the external threat.

Drawing a parallel with software stack -> we invented it and there are very few of us (sure as hell not me) that would understand a full stack of the browser and its environment I am currently using. Now faced with a large trove of DNA data - we know it works. Stationary we could show how a particular part affects a particular protein production. The full on rolling in-vivo interactions are way beyond the reach - reverse engineering them proves quite a challenge.

Would life be akin to running a code that keeps data and states in the code itself, continuing running itself though the changed code?

Anybody here is cracking an interesting biotechnological problem with a fancy software stack - one that could be shared for a good story?
Truly. I used Ada professionally for several years and wouldn't want to go back. Even though programs that compiled had a much higher probability of just working compared to other languages, programming with Ada was both dull (or maybe that's just an Aerospace industry thing) and frustrating (that type system, ugh).

One thing I found while messing around with Haskell is that while learning and writing vanilla Haskell is one thing, deciphering Haskell written by others is quite another, given the propensity of library authors to use language extensions and stuff like TemplateHaskell.

Consider taking those companies off your resume. I'd prefer a gap in the resume to a negative item. A gap can be explained any way you want in an interview, but a negative item will cause you to get rejected before you even begin.
Well it depends. If human will move to Mars, do they really need not to lose their bones strength and so?
If people on Mars will keep 1/3 of what their body compared to Earth because there is about 1/3 gravity, they will be fine for Mars becausee they adapted. But they won't be able to come back.

Venus gravity is just little lower than Earth's but that mean it is harder to land same amount of cargo there (compared to Mars) + you are definitely not coming back because of it anysoon.
You're right that it isn't the best word choice -- I meant to say that it's not my place or anyone else's to comment on the lived experience of an individual at or with an institution. What I take issue with is generalizing a subjective experience to color and characterize an entire institution.
The problem, as I experienced with two black widow bites a few weeks ago is I did not realize I had been bitten until the symptoms were in full effect. By the time I realized it was not a flu virus it was already too late. I didn't even realize they were spider bite until the weeping craters appeared at the presumed mosquito bite site.

Your "every other human driver" must exclude people who think it's a good idea to ride motorcycles at 1.5x the speed limit on the freeway. Needless to say, without seatbelts.

Anyway, this thread is about embracing some other risk as an alternative to unhealthy eating.

I posited that driving without a seatbelt is a poor substitute for a burger, fries and Coke. What I mean is that driving without a seatbelt is not a risk that provides am amount of thrill or pleasure in comparison to a meal.

So, that argument applies in triplicate to driving like a wussy without a seatbelt, don't you think?

Whatever thrill is derived from not wearing a seatbelt, it is attenuated by driving slowly to reduce the risk of injury.

Be sure to uninstall that airbag, too, by the way.
UDP is just a thin wrapper on an IP packet that adds port and checksum. This in turn is just a thin wrapper on whatever underlying network packets you use.

So UDP packets are as reliable as TCP packets in principle. TCP just hides the unreliability with flow control and retransmits.
Please, can podcast creators set up an RSS feed when they release their initial episode? And not the RSS feed through Soundcloud, that's just enough effort to get to and copy into my podcatcher that I'm not going to do it.

Yes, I think the people on H1Bs should also be able to stay here for the full duration of the visa even if they are no longer employed. Current regulations just give too much power to the employer.

There also needs to be shorter waits for green cards for some nationalities. The 15 year wait for people from China or India is just ridiculous.

I actually agree.

I have come to realize that 9 to 5 is not horrible, the key is self-fulfillment and happiness. For most people they will be unhappy regardless of the state of finances or work they do.

I realize that even if I have my own business it does not mean I won't have to deal with things I don't like. What attracts me though is the financial independence, having control of my future instead of someone else having control of it.

HttpResponseMessages also implement IDisposable, and should be disposed. HttpContent also implements IDisposable, but disposing of the parent HttpResponseMessage also disposes of the child HttpContent object as step 1, so you needn't have a second using statement.

In a typical usage scenario in an async Task, this is what it'd look like:

using (var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(requestUri))
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>(result);
}
Agreed - I actually _like_ 9-5. It's nice to have a break now and again, but I like daily routine of going to an office, seeing colleagues, etc.

I actually just quit a factory job to start software dev. The conditions and pay were terrible at my factory gig so I started learning to code in my spare time. Probably few people on this forum would be connected with people who recently have worked in factories. But those jobs do exist, and man do they SUCK!

Especially when the people in software aren't developing products for you because they have never met you, i.e. don't believe you exist.

The article does not in any way address the fact that China has the very low cost base (massive numbers of highly trained human capital and substantial investment in physical capital and R&D) to guarantee pretty much no other country can compete.

Does it?

Instead, it seems to start from the premise that they are not already the world leaders in "next gen technology".

Which is a total fallacy.

You know lines like:

China’s manufacturing engine has largely stalled

and

Even though China is graduating far more than 1 million engineers every year, the quality of their education is so poor that they are not employable in technical professions.

->utter BS.
For a start, their "top 10%" is greater than the total number of US graduates. And their "Bottom 10%" is still more employable in a technical profession than an average US graduate.

Throw shit on the wall and leave to dry for a few hours first.
I essentially used the 4 hour workweek script and am somewhere in the middle of that timeline, setting up my business now. 1. Figured out how to get all of my work done super fast 2. Started taking days off and working remotely using my above efficiency skills to put more and more time into my side project while still meeting all of my deadlines and obligations 3. Negotiated a remote and part time contract that only has me in the office 3 days a week. 4. Grind.

I'm still in the setup phase of my business (a hydroponics farm/green wall installations) but being able to devote entire days to getting going has been immensely helpful.

I started working the new contract about a month and a half ago. It was hard staying focused at first and I was a little too happy - go - lucky with my newfound freedom (Overwatch). So, while I was getting everything done for my 9-5, I've been moving slowly on the farm. Things have been better these past two weeks and I'm excited to get cranking in a serious way.

I should note that before I had even considered building a business or taking this step, I'd been doing research for the past 4 or so years that started my last semester in undergrad. I'd also done many small scale, non commercial projects for different clients in the evenings/weekends before I made the jump. Like another poster, to me, this is the equivalent to grad school. I could spend a bunch of money on an MBA and learn some things, or I could start this business, learn hands on, and potentially walk away with profit instead of debt.
Dropping TCP is normally preferable, I'd have thought, as it'll cause the TCP socket to back off. Dropping UDP is less likely to lead to such behaviour.

With the consent of my employer (another startup) I started in the mornings, evenings and weekends with a very supportive partner.

The aforementioned employer then began to fail, and so I was extremely lucky to be able to devote more and more time to my business as the aforementioned startup started to ask people to work fewer hours.

Once I hit a revenue target agreed with my wife, I jumped ship: http://www.elstensoftware.com/blog/2011/01/21/going-fulltime...

To lower the target required, I cut pretty much everything apart from the mortgage and taxes.

In some ways I miss the constraint of working fewer hours - I think I had better focus then; these days I do make a few mistakes with where I spend my time.
Yes. There are pages that start with dlang.org/phobos/... and others that start with dlang.org/library/... I need to confirm but I think the "Phobos" ones are for the current library of D(ver)2 and "library" ones are for Tango, a different library that diverged from the standard one during the D1 days - something like that. I think I read that they have later sort of unified again, either that, or Tango is obsolete or less recommended. Maybe others who know more can comment.
I did something like this early on in my working life. I got to the point where my side business had repeat customers and enough of a portfolio where I felt confident that I could bring on more customers. It wasn't a full jump, but the side business became the focus and I took on different side gigs to supplement income. I went back to a 9-5 after a few years, but during that time I did see consistent growth in the business.
I have this running on a Raspberry Pi and it's working 24/7, uploading media files from my NAS to my Amazon Cloud Drive.

I use Kodi on a separate pi to stream the content from Amazon, thereby freeing up space on my NAS.
I have been using this successfully with Google Cloud Storage and our own internal Swift object store.

For the latter, it uploads much faster than the shell scripts I had been using, and it has similar utility as an "rsync for the cloud".

Queuing tends not to be a great traffic shaping strategy. The problem is that the sender will almost certainly not react to the extra queuing delay in any way (nobody runs RTT-sensitive congestion control in practice). And if the sender doesn't react to the queuing, it'll fill up the buffer and the same amount of packets will be dropped anyway. So you got increased RTTs and no reduction in packet loss.

There is a better way of doing shaping for TCP traffic, by making the sender reduce the rate of transmission by other means than dropping packets. For example via manipulating the receive window. (And other, more sophisticated variations on that). But these methods aren't applicable to UDP in general, at best to some small subset of UDP-based protocols.

Vala was my first introduction to OOP and since I was always working in a Unix environment C# was not an option for me. The bindings to develop GTK-based applications were good enough but still today I believe that using tools like Glade writing a GTK-based app in any other language is as easy as it is with Vala, the only advantage is that I can compile to C without having to write C all the time.

It has worked well for me, and was able to create corporate applications in the past. I don't use it with the same frequency now because of my current job, but it is still in my list of programming languages that I want to use for personal projects along with C++ and (recently) Go.

For people interested in the language I suggest them to take a look at Elementary OS documentation, they are one of the most popular projects using Vala in production and I am sure they will appreciate any contribution from beginners and experience developers: https://elementary.io/developer — https://github.com/trending/vala

"This is extremely uncommon on 1Gbps NICs but is much more common on 10Gbps+ NICs. Also this type of dropping can happen on both RX and TX."

Is this backwards, or does the faster NIC really drop more packets? That seems like it would be unfortunate.

It's called Jälkiuunileipä.

There is actually some information in English about it in Wikipedia:

> The old tradition was that all bread in the house for the year was baked in a few days, in a large oven that took a long time to cool after being fired. Thus, jälkiuunileipä (lit. after-oven bread) could still be baked in the residual heat. The longer baking time in the lower temperature gives it a darker color, higher density and hardness than regular rye bread, comparable to a fruit cake. In addition to the traditional reikäleipä shape, there are also rectangular ruispala-type pieces available.

> The other thing I still don't get about Docker: storage. [...]

Kubernetes solves this. For example, if you're on GCE or AWS, you can just declare that your container needs a certain amount of disk capacity, and it will automatically provision and mount a persistent block storage for you. Kubernetes handles the mounting/unmounting automatically. Kill a pod and it might arise on some other node, with the right volume mounted.
