Well first, you're assuming that everyone that goes to prison gets stuck in that cycle. Prison does you no favors, but I've seen first hand that the cycle does not always happen.

Secondly, prison does not end your day to day life. There are many people serving time who will get out and be able to go on with their life. Not everyone who goes to prison gets a life sentence. And even for those who are doing long stints, they very well do have a life worth living. Prison sucks, but saying someone who's doing a stint (or multiple) doesn't have a life worth living is a akin to telling them to commit suicide.

I understand you were probably engaging in hyperbole, but it's clear (to me at least) that you probably have not encountered many (or any) people who have gone to prison. Your view of prison inmates is probably a combination of a few tv shows. As someone who has a better view I'll say that prisoners do have lives worth living, they do have rights, and (when prison is done correctly) they should come out better on the other side.

Prison is shitty, and leaves a stigma on people that is hard to shake. But prisoner is in that situation, not of that situation.
I'm not even sure if education has anything to do with it. I have lots of peers who chose careers where they "work-to-live" vs "live-to-work". An example may be a pharmacist who chose their career, and makes decent money, but the average pharmacist doesn't feel compelled to work extra hours. If you offered her more money at less hours, she would take it. Where you offer me more money, it won't really change the number of hours I am compelled to work.
I hear the author's pain. So much churn as I attempted to keep pace with RC changes. I'm sticking with NG2 cause for the rare times I was writing app code instead of fighting with NPM I enjoyed the developer experience...

There is a difference in what the article presents as an escape for young men with no job vs someone who plays games in the evening to relax.

That free time you have is a luxury if you are working. It can still be very enjoyable to do interesting things after work, but I wouldn't look at them as investing time or learning new skills or hustling (i.e. working). That's a great way to get burnout. Burnout can be horrible if you never have leisure, but you can still make some that off time productive in some way without it feeling like work. For myself I like to put together projects in new tech that seem interesting for an idea that is absurd. It doesn't have to be even a full demo, just some examples where you poked at something and can talk about to coworkers. Arduino / Raspberry Pis are great too - super easy to get in to and you can make stupid fun little trick things. Same with chat bots and cloud infrastructure - slap something together and everybody can have fun.

I'm just wanting to say be careful how you look at your free time. That relaxation with video games and a beer is OK. But if you're wanting more out of it then turn it in to some way to get conversations and cool hacks working with coworkers or friends. Also - try switching up some video games with board games. There are some incredible board games out there these days and it'll be easy to get a group together at work for a quick round of some games.
Actually Swing is dead end in my perspective, no matter how much JetBrain tries to improve it(forget about Oracle, they don't even care about Swing), it sucks, in so many dimension. Even after investing so much money and time, they could have much better UX with other options.

That seems like an allusion to seasonal hours and whatnot to me. AFAIK none of the travel POI apps account for aspects like that today.

Aside: I got frustrated that none of them offer tracking brunch hours, so I made a one-page site for my city that has just that (http://www.qcbrunch.com). I'd like to do the same for kitchen hours at bars.

What every JavaScript developer should know about Unicode
Yep, I've been burned by that many times. Eventually you have to trust in authors' use of semver or other versioning systems, and that _too_ has bitten me poorly.

I think a big portion of pain is around the sheer depth of the dependency trees we wind up in npm/js land these days - a trivial little service can wind up with hundreds of disparately maintained dependencies, and you just have to shrinkwrap, hope, and cross your fingers things work out.
To me this is still why React feels like the first front end UI framework that got it "right." It stays close to vanilla Javascript. There's a tiny API surface area to learn, and the rest is vanilla Javascript classes and functions. Angular's API, and apparently Angular 2.0's API, is still large, and strays far from vanilla Javascript
Big difference between working a fulfilling job and spending 10-12 hours a day working and commuting to pay the bills.
AFAIK there are no such books. As for whether certain keys evoke certain emotions, that's highly debated other than "major happy, minor sad (other modes weird)".

The way I learned about how composition worked was mostly two things. One, listening to lots of music, ideally with the score in front of me so I could zoom in on some particular bit I really liked. Two, writing music and seeing how it turned out in practice.
Upgrading dependencies can be a total pain in the ass, and in the end is why I've been so frustrated with TypeScript. My solution in the end was to just ignore typing for any 3rd party libraries that don't have them to begin with. As nice as a d.ts file, dealing with all the type definitions that need updating along with all the issues with updated the dependencies in the first place was just too much.

I had a pet project with react and redux that I didn't touch for a few months as I was busy with other things. I came back to it recently and there are new major version of: react-redux, redux, react-router, webpack and various plugins, react-router-redux, react-hotloader, babel, and I'm sure a couple other things. It was a PITA to set up in the first place, and just a few months later, it all needed to be reconfigured.

When you say your quest for knowledge ended up with you seeing some good stuff was it because you were asking around or you put the intention out in the universe or what? It's awesome when someone says something like, "one cool thing about my quest for knowledge is that I've learned more about the good things" but it leaves you wanting to know exactly what it was that you were seeking, why, and where did you look?

TL;DR - developer learns the meaning of Release Candidate or rather...does not:

"To be fair, I have been using versions of the library that have thus far not been officially released. Maybe, you say, it’s my fault for trying to download and use a version of the library that is still in alpha/beta/release candidate and expecting it to work and be relatively easy to use. Perhaps you are right. But, considering the fact that hundreds of thousands of developers are already using Angular 2, we should ask ourselves the question: is it responsible to release libraries that are still very much a work in progress?"

They told you it was an RC, but now that a lot of people have started using it, you want them to no longer treat it as an RC. (And like a true whiner who likely will never contribute a single line of code, you want this all for free, of course.)
The article points out a possible interesting reason why crime dropped around 1990 all over the developed world.

"So, what are are these young, non-working men doing with their time? Three quarters of their additional leisure time is spent with video games, Hurst’s research has shown."

Perhaps 1990 was about the point when computer games got cheap enough and good enough to keep young men out of trouble.
This is the core of the problem.

The core argument I see being made -- not even mentioned in your list -- is the effective impossibility that the death penalty can ever be fairly enforced in our justice system (given that it doesn't just err occasionally; it errs frequently and systematically). Combined, of course, with the uniquely irreversible nature of the death penalty itself.

All the other arguments don't matter.

Others disagree.

You are right. It's incorrectly stated. By "duplicate" I meant the repeating of the sentence "a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as in sample string.
Oh right I had that exactly backwards... I apologize, it's been long day.

It does make me wonder why this matters, though. Ripping the to/from from an export would be trivially easy. He wanted to strip it from the server for some reason. So that doesn't make me feel better... isn't it what you would do to prevent emails from being discovered. I mean if they wanted to sanitize files after export, it's just bulk search and replace, right?

> Couldn't community service be viewed as a form of slave labor? (not literally, but to an extent)

I think it literally is, which is why I think requiring it in order to graduate from high school or college is uncouth and unconstitutional (likewise, the draft).

I have no problem with it as a punishment for crime, although I do have concerns about the efficacy and efficiency of how it is administered. Does it make sense for someone with high-value skills to be cleaning toilets as community service?
Thank you! Updated again.
Sorry, but sometimes I feel like the only sane person in the madhouse. It’s a blog! It’s literally just an index page and some display pages! Why could that possibly need 100s Kb of JS to run it? Of course you’re going to have trouble, you’ve picked a JCB to do a screwdriver’s job.

On the other hand, frameworks like Ember are still chugging along quite happily, and swallowing up any actually good ideas the rest of the community has. For example, isomorphic apps spawned "fastboot", where with one plugin you can generate an isomorphic app from your existing Ember project (with some tweaking), talking to your existing API server.
They can't eliminate it, but they can make it as hard as possible: encourage you to use Oracle DBs, etc.
Ember shares this problem, imo.

I don't see why you'd want to manipulate iterators by hand, unless you're implementing custom iterators. But, in any case:

try!(iter.next().ok_or("end of sequence"))

EDIT: Sorry. I was just being dense.
Your first foray into web development and you picked a large, unfinished (it wasn't final) framework to learn with? Then you are complaining that there were breaking changes you had to deal with?

I get your beef with the ecosystem, but this is a very unfair knock on Angular 2. Angular 2 was not the problem here at all.

Am I missing something obvious?
You do so in a derogatory manner, but you bring up a decent point. This doesn't really seem to be a JavaScript issue so much as an open source issue.

Stack Overflow copy pasta developers. If you're an associate level developer; the project should be setup for you. If you are above that, you should understand some of the internals and build tools to the point where you are comfortable wiring them.

Also, this has already been discussed; we get it. RC5/6/7 sucked for everyone (well, except those of us who were eagerly waiting for forms 2.0). Must we do daily "omg rc5 was painful" posts?

The change to ngModule took 15 minutes btw, more if you count all the code you got to remove from other components.
Because providing collision avoidance and other warnings to civilian satellites is not a core activity of the military.

Logically, NORAD Air Defense Sector controllers have the radar data to provide traffic advisories to civilian airliners flying outside FAA radar coverage, but they rarely do so. If an unknown aircraft is detected above 18,000ft (i.e possible collision hazard to airline traffic) without a transponder and within the US Air Defense Identification Zone, ADS controllers may attempt contact on emergency guard frequency 121.5, which is commonly monitored by airliners. There are also USAF/USN controllers responsible for specific sectors that may attempt contact. ADS would likely scramble jet fighters too.

That's kind of a pretentious statement to make.

As long you enjoy your trip, then you have found the right way to travel for you personally.
Don't see why. They're big into Java over there.
In theory it's probably possible to modify this to work on newer iPhones, it's just that no-one's done the work yet. The Secure Enclave has no onboard flash memory and its anti-replay protection seems to be entirely reliant on an external Flash chip that can itself be removed and its contents replayed. The BBC are right, assuming what's publicly known about the Secure Enclave is correct.
This is exactly the path I've taken. I figured if I start out with <ShineyNewJSFrameworkMVC> right off the bat, and not understand the foundation, I'd be screwed in the long run. My reasoning is that once I grasp JS's quirks/ins/outs (I'm looking at you 'this'), well I'd be ready to see the light and better choose a framework. So far, I think ReactJS nailed it, but keep in mind I am fairly new to Web Dev (coming from PC/Console/C++ world) so YMMV.
Also, I would like to thank the good folks at Twitter for Bootstrap, I don't know how my frontend would look like without it!
> The main point is no one would normally accuse someone who suffered a stress fracture of exaggerating or misstating the nature of their condition by referring to it as a "broken X."

I would: I think that it indicates a propensity to exaggerate.

Moreover, I know folks who've had far worse than just shin splints (broken legs, in fact), and did make it through basic training. Washing out is generally indicative of one wanting to wash out: the military gives one the tools to either succeed or fail, as one wishes.
I don't doubt that, the two ideas are in no way mutually exclusive.
It would be possible, for example living on the outskirts and working in a different outskirts.

I guessed a possible route, and stuck it in TfL's Journeyplanner: Uxbridge to West Croydon, takes 1½ hours now (22:00), a bit faster during the day, but add on some walking. (Driving is 70 minutes at night, probably closer to 1½ hours in the day.)

A journey like this would be uncommon, I doubt it's worthwhile for many people. And people living in the 90% of the city that's less-distant than either Uxbridge or Croydon will laugh, and say those places aren't "proper" London anyway.

You think so? I'm not so sure that they're really the same argument. "I've seen so much of X that when I see X now, I just shrug," is a very different argument from, "I've seen so much of X, that now I'm more likely to commit X."
