Of course you can, But that doesn't change the fact only one of those opinions is defensible.

If someone were to say they don't feel comfortable around Scottish people because they commit more crime. I'm sure you would (rightly) have an issue with that and agree that it is indefensible.

Flat orgs are an overreaction to the traditional top heavy big corp structures. Where each staff member is reporting to multiple unsynchronized management chains. Nothing is more frustrating that having to be caught in the middle of three managers who all disagree with what the priorities should be, and refuse to mediate it amongst themselves. Not to mention the infighting once your company is over 1000 people and you start having boss A demand all your time specifically to frustrate boss B's plans.

All of the above is non-fun. I'll do all the boring documentation, monitoring and change control and say thank you. I'm not trying to be harsh on managers (I am one), but I can't blame people for overreacting.
I had no idea who Mitch Hedberg was, so I googled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7auvTMm47uM

meh. These are not new ideas, and probably seem rather obvious to those who think about evolution and fitness functions. I suppose however, there is some good in making this point more salient to cognitive science theoriticians however.
I worked through the Node Beginner Book by Manuel Kiessling some years ago and enjoyed it. I'll probably look through it again to see what has changed. But I'm increasingly (and approaching permanently) disillusioned with the Node/js space.

Not due to the language complaints alone from yesteryear. Rather left-pad and this, https://twitter.com/mitsuhiko/status/712624914071728128.

It just seems like a real mess. In general tooling needs more work than anything, for all languages but JS is a good conversation piece on what's wrong.
Seems to me that this trivializes actual burnout. Which is a natural occurrence in an industry where too many players expect 70-hour weeks.

Sure, maybe some people are misusing the word to refer to days when they aren't excited about spending 110% of their time and energy on tech. But that just reflects another pathological set of expectations in this industry that can lead to actual burnout, which is not the same as taking a few days here and there for work-life balance.
Why not proud? Sounds fast and efficient. I didn't save the move of the hand to the tab key, but I will now. Thanks.
Demand side control of hard drugs hasn't worked in the US and Europe which people by and large take knowing possible harmful effects. So why would demand side control of something people believe to be actually good work? Panda population was brought back as far as we know largely by supply side interventions - a combination of investment plus as someone else mentions, death penalty for poachers.

The only instance of demand side control I remember actually working was when Greenpeace and the like mass broadcast ads of cute seal pups being clubbed to death but and models wearing fur coats trailing blood etc.

Maybe, the appropriate imagery needs to be found for the causes of Rhinos and drugs by the activists.

I disagree. I think there are examples of compelling other people's behavior that can be reasonable accommodations. Providing a dog-free space (not necessarily the entire workplace) is reasonable. On the other hand, completely eliminating dogs from the company policy for one employee would not be reasonable.

Apologies, but it has to be said: in my professional experience, it's the management that stops technical people fixing bugs, completing documentation, fixing infrastructure, providing good upgrade paths, refactoring, etc.

I wouldn't describe the drug as imparting wisdom, so much as letting you view the world through eyes unfettered by cultural programming. The wisdom comes from holding on to that feeling of unfettered experience, and trying to progressively deconstruct your cultural programming until you return to that place.

There's still a decent size contingent of non-technical people that look at exampleapp.com the way I'd look at wellsfargo-online-banking.com. I don't blame them: subdomains imply authority.

While I'm sure there's more, github.io, herokuapp and GAE/Appspot are the only services I know of following this practice, and they cater to a developer-level technical audience with the assumption that they'll work out a better name.

Burnout.
As a person of Sri Lankan descent, this is great news. However, the elimination of malaria in Sardinia was correlated with the rapid rise of multiple sclerosis and type-1 diabetes. This is because the parasite that causes malaria is also thought to be protective against MS and diabetes [1]. I hope that was considered in this case, because if not we're just trading one problem for another.

"Digital" is an interesting distinction here. Nintendo has a service that lets you play old Nintendo games... but only on other new(er) Nintendo consoles: a physical product you must first buy from them. Basically, if you want their service, you need a $300 hardware dongle.

And even then, the (licenses for) the old games that you're buying from Nintendo's service are actually licenses to the particular port that runs on whatever the console generation you buy them on. If you buy the Wii Virtual Console port of Mario 64, that doesn't entitle you to download+run the Wii U Virtual Console port of Mario 64. You either accumulate an ever-expanding pile of hardware dongles that will themselves break one day, or you keep buying and re-buying ports of your favourite old games for each new console generation, never knowing whether they'll actually bother to port any given game to any given console, whether they did it for a previous generation or not.

This doesn't quite match the meaning of "convenient" in the sense that Steam is convenient: with Steam, when you buy a game, you're buying a license to play that game on anything—if the game starts out only on Windows, but then is ported to run on Mac and Linux, you don't have to pay again. You just own "the game", and are granted the ability to download+run whatever ports of it exist on Steam.
Just so you know, I love Stephenson.

I've heard his critics complain about this, amd I'm not sure they realize it's what makes him popular.
One Second Every Day
I didn't know it was attributed to someone (or many ones). I always thought it was a common reflection almost everyone develops after seeing a few of those natural paths compared to the officially built paths.
Thanks. One issue I believe ProseMirror has yet to solve well is the concept of embeddable widgets.

For example, I should be able to embed a "video object", which represents some content that isn't directly editable, and which may exist somewhere else, and is perhaps internally represented using opaque ID that references some backing store. I want to be able to render this as a nice little video renderer that has a little edit button or a context-menu, and which can be edited to change its size, select a time subrange, subtitles and so on. The document editor should treat it as an opaque object that can render itself and marshal/unmarshal itself somehow, and which can be copied, pasted and moved around. Ideally it should also be possible to offer UI interactions, such as mouse clicks (for resizing).

Does Quill handle this better?
I note that (at least in the playground example) there's zero attention paid to accessibility (e.g. how would someone know the "bold" button is the "bold" button?).

Also (and kind of related) is there an option that is completely free of UI implementation (outside the editable region)? Almost any project will have its own UI libraries and foibles, and I don't think it's a good idea to force your own UI library into the mix.
Explicit hierarchy is useful to break ties. Not all questions have a universally compelling answer. There are often two or more competing "explanations" that are all sensible. Having nobody with the authority to make the final call often leads to uncertainty and endless bikeshedding.
I was going to say that you had a year after disclosure to file a patent.

But then I remembered that there are other countries in the world other than the USA. Those other countries have different rules! It's sometimes difficult for Americans to remember that, since we're so insular here. E.g. I haven't been out of the USA in probably about 25 years.

Last time I looked, the current 64bit Intel CPUs only used the lower 48 bits for userspace virtual addresses. This leaves 16 bits available if you want to tag your pointers with some additional information. This can be useful for saving space or using them with an 8 byte cmpxchg.

This kind of trick is easier to get away with if you know exactly which CPUs your software is going to run on. Otherwise your software could break horribly when a new generation of CPU comes around.
I know this is very much a "How long is a piece of string question" - But typically are there any stories that you guys could share, or any insight.

Here's an example

2. Status as ‘Senior Advisor’ to the Board.

3. 1-2 days per month on senior sales/advice/strategy/compliance etc…

4. $100k per annum in fee or equity options (latter preferred).

I know that it's tough to answer, but any insight is really appreciated.

Thank you!
When you have caching and also when you have dynamic allocation, size has its costs. Not every time and certainly not linearly, but more likely than the opposite.
Intel buying chipmaker Movidius to boost artificial-intelligence efforts
Long ago I sent a patch for uploading downloading using this escape sequence, using zmodem like how an old windows SSH client (I forget the name) used to allow uploading/downloading files.

You log in, type "rz<enter>", and then use escape sequence to upload a file. (similar for downloading)

The patch was rejected. Shame. It's very useful when hopping 6 steps to upload a file.[1]

I can't find the patch now, but I'm considering rewriting it as a an `expect` script. My `expect` scripts tend to have trouble with SIGWINCH propagation though, so not optimal. Also you have to remember to wrap with the `expect` script at (and preferably only at) the one "jump" you want to send from/to with the final destination.

[1] No, nothing illegal. Just that some networks mandate SSH jumpgates, and sometimes multi-level.
Just a heads up - if you're looking for a concise way to convey this idea in future, the phrase 'high concept' captures it neatly.
The Case Against Transparency
In this case, the question is not between emulating a crash and allowing the game to proceed, but rather between emulating an abort() to land the VM in a sane terminated state, or skipping the abort() and continuing on until the emulator itself is pushed into an undefined state and crashes.
That's good to know, so it seems the government is getting serious about climate change.

That said, your information in other comments says the government has been doing some things in this area, but so far it seems to be only 5% or 10% of what the US and China are doing, much less what is needed to avoid catastrophe. Maybe Putin's government is now getting more serious and will step things up.
Can one be a freelance System administrator?
I once toyed around with the idea of making a browser based virtual world for 4chan when I still used it regularly (~2008ish). Heavily inspired by Gibson and Stephenson. Each board would be it's own green wireframe building off a main avenue with shape and size corresponding to the volume of content - and thus would change over time. You would be able to fly around the 'city' and enter buildings to view the threads. I wrote a lot of notes, but no code... Of course, being a teenager I named the browser 4skin :)

I drank on at least 35 nights, most of them with Mestizo shamans brought into the US. This happened within the span of three intense years.

Every single time was difficult and challenging. Each one of them brought a theme that picked off where the last left off. What I worked on was a range of things: from physical ailments, to letting go of attachments and facing fears, to purging out BS in the mind, to spiritual ailments spanning across multiple lifetimes. I had to work through a lot of internal resistance. There were training in a variety of things at a variety of levels of being. It did not help that there was something within me that drove me to keep coming back, like I'm hurrying to make it. There was period where, by the next ceremony rolls around, I forgotten the initial suffering and I have fond memories of the peak. By the time I got to the most recent one I participated in, I could intuitively tell when I was going to work a lot.

My experiences are atypical and intense. I am sensitive to it, and it took a while to figure out where the right dosage was for me. Every person's experience and work is going to be unique to them, even if it might fall into broad, general patterns.

I'm currently on hiatus, and will probably be getting back into it... well, when the time is right again. In the meantime, I've been keeping up with my daily practices of meditation and sometimes chanting, getting into the darker spaces of my being, when necessary. If anything, my experiences in the ceremonies taught me to have courage to look. And although the hiatus was due to external circumstances, I'm training to access these visionary states without taking the medicine directly.
It seems to me like most of the progress in rock is happening at the fringes, particularly in metal. The folk-metal (both european "celtic/viking" and particularly "southern sludge"), jazz-influenced progressive metal, and hybrid instrumental/electronic djent genres are all breaking significant new ground.
I agree, a little bit more context could be helpful sometimes. I initially thought this was the Quill (Scala) DSL: http://getquill.io/
One thing I always wonder about low-resource-usage emulation projects for old consoles with fixed game libraries (e.g. GBA emulating GBC), is why you can't just throw some heavy ahead-of-time analysis at the problem of statically recompiling the whole game library for the native destination architecture. Why write an "emulator" at all, when you know exactly what code you want to run, and know exactly what code that code should translate into when run on the target CPU?

I guess a potential problem would be that this requires shipping a (IP-infringing) copy of the recompiled game library with the emulator. But it doesn't quite: instead of a library of ROMs, you could just ship a library of hint files to turn the static-analysis step of the recompilation into a few seconds of work, such that you still need an input ROM and the dest-ISA program is only generated in memory.
It's not terribly difficult, but it's hard to make it work nicely owing to the quirks of contenteditable regions. Personally, I think that if you're serious about writing a rich text editor for the browser you should avoid using contenteditable (as per Google Docs, for example) which lets you do pretty much anything. There are plenty of reasonably decent contenteditable-based editors out there, and they're all similarly broken when you get to difficult stuff.
'Gentlemen do not read each other's mail'?
These languages have been around for some time. QML is another (http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~psztxa/publ/qml.pdf) as is Quipper (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/quipper/).
Gitlab is cool but with things like webrtc, ethereum/swarm/ndn, gittorrent etc. out there eventually we will be able to get away from servers and definitely having one company in charge of storing all of the code is not the most ideal final solution.
Not a nice way, but the way that works best for me is:

^Z

fg

^C

the ^Z kills the loop, the fg and ^C cleans up the currently running one.

Pretty tiny amounts of lead are damaging to young children, like age 0-6. It causes neurological damage, decreasing IQ and attention span; increasing aggression. It is such a pervasive effect that researchers find very strong correlation between the phaseout of lead in paint and fuel and decrease in crime 20 years later.

Engineers are not black boxes which take well defined product requirements as input and produce code as output. That seldom results in good products in the real world. A competent engineer has to understand the business domain and be intimately involved in the requirements definition process. The product owner (or product manager for higher level stuff) has the final authority on requirements but it's a two way conversation. Otherwise too many things fall through the cracks.

It's silly and counterproductive for engineers to expect managers to be all-knowing seers, and then act disappointed and put upon when those managers inevitably make mistakes. They're human too. Find a way to work with them productively.

Yeah, his novels don't end, they just kind of stop. It's the same problem Porco Rosso and several They Might Be Giants songs have. This was particularly noticable in Cryptonomicon: It felt like it was building up to a climactic ending that didn't happen (which isn't to say the ending wasn't climactic, it just wasn't climactic enough to feel like a payoff to that buildup).

The closest thing I've got to a newsletter, or blog, or whatever, is the inane, insane, smart, stupid, and ridiculous comments that I post into the mass of such comments that is HN. So you may see me around.
