No, I mean most American cities.

Berlin is not like Munich or Frankfurt - and does not fit the template of most other German cities. It's quite a bit bigger and spread out. That said - it's more like Frankfurt than it is LA. Also - 'Greater Berlin' is more than 5 million.

Also important to note: many European cities don't have 'suburbs'- what they have is 'city core' then 'dense surrounding'- which is not that much - but instead of suburbs, they have tons of 'surrounding towns'. It's really quite hard to describe.

Frankfurt - I could almost run across it in my daily run - and it has big skyscrapers. It has the busiest Airport in Europe!

Imagine taking all of Maine + Vermont - and instead of 30Km between each small township - make it 3km. So basically, you have tons of 'mini, distinct communities'.

Many of those 'mini communities' are 1000 years old type thing, and people are not very transient.

Within those communities - generally things are walkable, you have unique local restaurants, often high quality, artisans, small businesses, sometimes Universities.

Much of Europe - and to some extent Asia - is like this.

It's hard to describe but obvious when you see it.

It's the model I think we, in North America, should have used for urban planning - instead of the mega-city model.
>>Trump’s heretical denial of Republican dogma about government incapacity is exactly what we need to move the party — and the country — in a new direction.

It's contradictory for libertarians to be calling for more government spending on the economy. Most of the issues, like crumbling infrastructure, would be better spent not by advocating for effective spending, but rather privatization and letting people vote online on which firm to contract out to various public works paid for by tax money that we vote on how to allocate.
Anecdotal, but my parents (in their late 50s and are not very good with technology) recently went from flip phones to Androids and are already using "OK Google" and a bunch of apps.

">your comment might be a kind of bigotry
The irony is so deep."

I was making generalizations about people that I think is true.

But I wasn't calling people names, or making them seem as though they are 'out of touch and stupid' because they are either from the city or a small town.

There are advantages and disadvantages of both - but city people are by far and away more 'individualist', in much the same way that 'Americans' are usually more individualist than say, Swedes. It's just a generalization, not bigotry.
Often, you can strip the BOM (which isn't supposed to be there to begin with), convert from excel's proprietary character set to UTF-8, and translate the line endings and things may work - if it hasn't decided to randomly change things that weren't dates into dates, strip leading 0's from your zip codes, reformat things that you didn't want reformatted, and otherwise mangle your data. (Nevermind that Excel can't handle dates properly anyway.)

What's worse is that many people play with excel and use things like coloring, fonts, and visual layout to distinguish things, and/or combine multiple unrelated chunks into one sheet so that they won't have to switch tabs (which of course makes for a scrambled mess of data). I try to suppress the memories of it taking 36 tries to get a usable CSV from business people (after having given clear instructions in advance and doing postprocessing afterward to clean it up).

Excel should never be used for working with data. But it is, so that's job security if you can clean up the messes that it makes.
I had a .to domain for a while, and I had an email address "firstname@firstname.to" where firstname is my first name. I wanted to use it when I needed to give out emails causally, like if someone from Church or some other group wanted my email.

I gave up on it, not because of computer validation but because of stupid people! Nobody would "get" the .to domain and they'd always think there should be a .com or .gmail.com on the end of it. Especially older people.

So I gave it up.
Close and shorten the pain loop as much as possible. If it causes availability pain, it should inflict pain on those who caused it.

If the developer wrote terrible code, the developer should be paged when the code/stack/framework breaks.

If ops/SRE/whatever chose a terrible server platform or cloud provider, they should be paged when the server crashes or goes offline.

Two decades of history has shown that the carrot doesn't work in this age of Internet companies. You gotta use the stick. I wished that the carrot works and there are those altruists who have only worked in ideal environments where the carrot works, but they are the extreme outliers. The average lifespan of companies these days is too short for employees to stick around and actually care too much. All jobs these days are gigs, and most are looking for the next one. Why would you waste time fixing your problems in this context?

Close the pain loop.

We know that if speed is your goal there are tradeoffs you will have to deal with, such as inline images and css that are harder to maintain. This is a well known architectural tradeoff (along with usability vs security). If you are willing to pay for your load speed in the form of increased page complexity and reduced scalability, this is a legitimate option.

If you have a fresh VM without a seed file, that isn't connected to the internet and has had little in the way of devices, and you immediately begin generating keys before the normal file system operations stir the generator, then the deterministic nature of the generator says you'll get a predictable key, or more likely, end up generating a key that's simply not unique.

Just by being online and running for a few seconds will cause enough entropy to put the generator into a safe state, so this rarely happens in practice.

I think the pedantry is unnecessary here. "Shared hosting" colloquially refers to multiple websites sharing a single web server, database, and PHP process. Everything is set up for you by the provider, you simply supply the files. What "shared hosting" does NOT usually refer to are containers, virtual machines, bare-metal, IaaS deployment environments, or anything like that.

That's 541k individuals and rising that are not going to reproduce in a nation whose majority population is aging[1] and whose overall population is projected to collapse by almost 15% in 2050. Imagine 40% of your population being 65+. With a TRF of 1.7, that's over 1 million potential young replacements that are missing from the economy. Many people in Japan are terrified of the increasing trend if not necessarily the number of current individuals.

Declining birth rates are the norm in the west and the simple solution to that is immigration. That doesn't work so well in Japan, which while perfectly polite to visitors is in many places extremely homogeneous and they like to keep it that way.

In most cases if you can't afford to buy the stock you really shouldn't. In many cases when you can afford it you still shouldn't.

>> you’re strictly more hirable as a PhD graduate or even as a PhD dropout and many companies might be willing to put you in a more interesting position or with a higher starting salary

> This is 100% false. Many many people have found a PhD to be a handicap when it comes to getting a job, particularly in software engineering. A large number of employers have anti-PhD biases which will work against you.

I was wondering if you could comment on this? Personal experience? I may be naive for not believing this in the first place; why would there be disdain expressed towards PhD applicants at a company? Is it a business perspective ("PhDs are too expensive"), technical ("they are too specialized, cannot practically implement solutions we expect of a new hire"), social ("I don't understand academia and couldn't achieve that high"), or something else?

Your point is a step in the right direction. Life is complex and diverse. Cities serve as models. Daily life is a test of the inputs and results. Every day they can be reconfigured and the data analyzed.

> Another dongle to loose. Tons of headphones obsoleted. Can't charge while listening.

You're conflating the switch to a proprietary jack with the introduction of wireless AirPods. Those are separate things. You can still use 100% of existing wired headphones with the iPhone 7, just with an adapter, which is a tradeoff that gets you some great other features like the new camera system.[1] The bundled wired headphones and any wireless headphones don't require an adapter. If you don't like wireless headphones, you don't have to use them.

> I would seriously move off iOS if I was making music with it.

Why? That comment seems unsupported by your reaction to this headphone jack change.

I can't agree with'always name a cell/range' and dont put numbers. This gets very confusing for a second person working on the workbook. Typically sheets get large and they get all these names building up over time. You end up with no idea with what someone is referring to.

Also for 'paste special' I dint notice him mention Crt+Alt+V which is really shortcut vs using menu dropdown.

Ctr+D was new to me. Thats a great one.
I like Feynman's version better. If you can't explain it to a college freshman then you probably don't understand it.
This option is already available to you: buy an aftermarket case/battery combo. I see these around all the time. The beauty of Apple selling millions of iPhone is there is a viable market for whatever accessory you may want.

Bluetooth sure. It was already using modulated audio like a modem over the analog jack. You can pair using bluetooth and continue to speak audio, with maybe lowered bandwidth to robustly survive the subband codec -- the mandatory base codec.

But I don't know what kinds of OS-level permissions go into allowing apps to pair with bluetooth devices on iOS.
During the current democratic presidency, and whether it can be justifiably blamed or not, we've seen:

- Housing bubble burst and destroy the assets of tens of millions of Americans;

- Private health insurance costs increase 100% [0] as the administration bungled the implementation of the solution to those incredible cost increases;

- College tuition costs increase 50% [1];

So if you're the 2-income family and over the last 8 years, while your kids became college age, you've seen health insurance and tuition skyrocket.

If you took a second mortgage in 2007, you lost it all by 2009 and had a high probability of being wiped out as the stock markets went on a tear over the next 6 years. You had to watch from the sidelines.

If you're blue collar, there's a high probability you were unemployed and possibly laid off more than once.

That's a lot of people with recent, seriously adverse, major life circumstances who need to point the finger somewhere. They are hurt and angry enough to rally around a candidate who curses the incumbents to their face.

We already have large classes of "second class citizens" -- might as well make life more livable for them.
I'd personally settle for an in-ear[1] version of AirPods. I'm not sold on noise cancelling, but I do need something to keep the music in and background noise out, and rubber-tipped in-ears do that quite well. Honestly, I'm confused as to why Apple makes earbuds without rubber tips at all, let alone at a $160 price point.

I've tried using EarPods on a plane before (where my ancient Sennheiser earbuds get 95% of their use) and I couldn't find a comfortable volume setting -- loud enough to hear clearly over the engines is painful (and probably just audible to the person sitting next to me).

The AirPods sound like a great idea on paper -- very small size, charging case, potentially less flakey than a typical Bluetooth device -- but since they're nothing more than wireless EarPods, I can't think of a use for them myself.

You are suggesting that a software engineer should be personally liable for the code he writes, just as a civil engineer is liable when he stamps a blueprint.

Also the 2.5mm jack is available. This used to be standard on Nokia ~10 years back til they were forced to come in line with everyone else on the 3.5mm. And bringing this in would annoy some but you'd still have the jack and could easily stick an adapter on the existing 3.5mm cables.

Joel played a part in creating VBA for Excel (and likely the other Office clients) when he was a program manager at Microsoft in the early 90s (see http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html).

Maybe not where you live but I have definitely seen people in that game range use headphone brands as a status symbol in the same way they use cell phone brands as a status symbol.
The thing is, the pairing UI is rarely the problem. It's the actual pairing implementation. Pairing a phone to a car is usually just a few button presses. Not quite as convenient as NFC or whatever, but not a real problem. The problem arises when you find that Pair button and press it and then it doesn't work and provides no feedback on why it failed. Cue five minutes of screwing around turning things off and on again and finally giving up.
What's the table shit? vlookup() ? edit: oh, 37:00, I see.
I thought that though the + is valid, nothing after the + is used to differentiate the email address?
