It is easy to laugh at Bitcoin but with Bitcoin you can send $15 from New Jersey to France immediately but the fee to do a bank transfer is many times that.

I wrote a check for $130,000 dollars that bounced once because the teller deposited the check I got for selling a house in somebody else's account. Mistakes happen, but the bank is able to figure it out and (hopefully) make it right - that is why the system is built to tolerate slop.
The original article is non-partisan in its argument, the high speaking fees being normal applies equally to all parties, all famous people.

The OP I was responding to could be seen as making a non-partisan argument, however the focus was on Clinton rather than Trump and Clinton. So I interpreted is as partisan (and got a fact wrong about her new book). Tomahawk has responded since that it was not intended as partisan, and I'll take his/her word for it.
I don't think you have been to Norway? A hundred years ago Norway was significant exporter of timber (and no: we didn't cut it all down). Related fun fact: the Christmas tree at traflgar square is donated by Oslo (the capital of Norway) though I think this is a token of gratitude for helping us out during WWII, it's not by coincidence that it's a tree.
I guess you're right. The internship search was bad, but the job search was okay. The two jobs I found replied quickly, were professional, and provided good offers. You're probably right in that I got used to companies not replying for months, so I'll keep a recruiting agency open as an option next time.
Well, I don't need to remember all of them, I can just remember the ones that I find convenient and use them. In the end the validator will tell me whether I messed something up.
While you're right that I won't write <html>, <head> very often I can very well imagine that skipping </td> and </tr> is convenient in many situations.
I feel like it's slightly dishonest not to mention that (according to the Chrome devs) this problem is caused by poorly-behaved modifications to the Chrome installer made by third-party redistributors, and not by Chrome itself.

(Disclosure: I work for Google, but not on Chrome.)
I installed mine through Homebrew (http://brew.sh/) Cask (https://caskroom.github.io/) and it is fine (only last two versions).

Welcome to HTML5: a document that comes out of the work of tens of thousands of people across decades of historically-encumbered practices. It's done remarkably well, and if you actually read the spec, is way more sensible than you would think that development track would give us.
I'd say yes. Defer-in-<head> works just like bottom-of-<body>, except the browser can start downloading and parsing the scripts right away (and in parallel if it wants).

Comparing a company to a colonial empire is a bit silly unless you're talking about the East India Company. I don't believe Facebook has its own warships yet.
Okay.

About the second problem, I think it is one of control. Source code access at least gives you a fighting chance.

That said, I have used Qt a couple times, and never dared to delve in its source code, it's just too big. If I have a problem, I just work around it. If you want control over your engine/framework, you pretty much have to have written it in the first place.
Raspberry Pi Launches Starter Kit
It actually saves at least 4 bytes per closing tag. On a larger webpage, that could easily add up to saving hundreds or thousands of bytes per request. That's a significant savings, especially for mobile.

This page outlines the original argument, as well as the updated reasoning that you suggest: always use HTTPS if it is available, even if requesting from a page served over HTTP.
Here's my page loading pattern, please tell me if this is good:

In the head tag, I intentionally load a small bootstrap javascript bundle (~50K) non-deferred. This bundle contains a subset of my CSS that styles all of the static tags the body below will first render with. This bootstrap bundle also starts an AJAX call for polyfills, if needed, and the main page script (which also contains the rest of my CSS.)

My goal is to have no unstyled tags in the body as it first renders and to kickoff loading the main body scripts ASAP before any other 3rd party scripts have a chance to get started loading.
Embarrassing, obvious, multi-year bugs are common to all browsers though. In Firefox, bookmarklets on CSP pages have been broken for 3.5 years and counting, with the end nowhere in sight. A handful of bugs that have taken a while to fix is no way to judge the overall quality of the browser.
Sidenote: "jade" is not a thing anymore. For legal reasons that no one understands but are in the past, the thing you're thinking of is called "pug", and lives on https://pugjs.org
Wolfram shows quite convincingly that the key properties of special and general relativity can be captured in a graph model. As for quantum mechanics, most of the ontological complications are a consequence of attempting to abolish nonlocality. If, instead, you model the nonlocality explicitly, as in pilot-wave theories, all of the ontological complications evaporate.

Prior to reading his proposal, I likely would have agreed with you that ontology is lost; I'm less sure now. After reading his ideas, I see a glimmer of hope for discovering a small, simple set of primitives and rules for modeling the universe. A graph/knot-based theory would be composed of far more simple primitives than differential equation based theories; the more abstract differential equation models would arise through statistical mechanics.
I'll give a thumbs-up to DDA. It's got problems--I think there's not enough game to it when you get past the baseline stages of survival--but it has a lot of different systems that mostly work together pretty well.

> In fact I'd wager that's why the "rich food culture" of the trains has "vanished."

Not by a long shot. Reduced? Certainly. Vanished? Certainly not. I think the author of the OP is writing based on her limited experience, with the Mumbai chef also chiming in under a similar condition.

I don't think so. Some? May be. Most? Doubtful.
Because it's easy to go "well this was completely unnecessary" 30 years after the fact. HTML's been through decades of change involving tens of thousands of opinionated experts. We have the history we do because this is where we are today.
You can indeed chew through the battery in about 2.5 hours at high load: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-i.... And the iPhone can't actually sustain maximum performance (and thus maximum power consumption) because of thermal limits: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/09/a-3d-touch-above-the-ip.... On the 6s, the CPU clockspeed drops from about 1.8 GHz to 1.4 GHz after 30 minutes of sustained load.

To the extent you're comparing A10 power usage to Intel's published numbers, keep in mind that Intel's TDP is what the processor uses to operate at the rated clock speed at full load indefinitely. In typical usage (where the CPU operates in short bursts and sleeps the rest of the time), the average power consumption will be a lot lower.
Like many other commenters have said, it makes a lot more sense to have this in a build step rather than doing by hand -- there's a lot of somewhat arbitrary rules (see when you can omit a "p" closing tag for example) that can be explicitly handled during building.

However, what does this really accomplish? Does it really save that much space and bandwidth? GZIP compresses text extremely well, so I don't see the usefulness in most cases. Sure, for really slow networks, e.g. in developing countries, it might matter, but the people that this guideline are targeting are likely not going to worry about that. Maybe at Google scale it makes a difference.

Beyond that, it really feels weird to omit the html tag and the head tags and I'd like to see how much more readable this optional tag omission is when you're dealing with a complex page with many meta tags and a ton of body content.
Here's the real content, found at the end:

"New restaurants, with too-easy access to financing from people like me, invest too much in design, tableware, food, and service, driving up every customer’s expectations of every restaurant in a cyclone of unprofitability.

Everybody but those without internet is on board, so they are working on locking us in and supplying internet/facebook to those without internet.

What that person means is that Elixir is a "practical" functional programming language. Of course, that's because Erlang is too.

Note that "practical" functional programming is something I just made up, but in general to me it means a language that provides immutable data, first class functions/higher order functions, and provides ways to minimize side effects. Elixir/Erlang do these. The language is geared towards functional programming, but it's impure.

But compare it to Haskell, a "pure" language: Elixir has no strong types, monads/functors/burritos, you can do side effects whenever you want with no penalty, there aren't many restrictions or things the compiler will yell you at about that aren't obvious mistakes.

I'm not saying either choice is better, but the average developer with little experience in both Elixir and Haskell can probably build a product faster in the former.
I am curious what constitutes a programmer who "knows" Scala?

It is enough to be fluent with a common framework such Play? Must one be proficient in using it in all three - functional, object and procedural programming contexts? The breadth of the language really is an overwhelming barrier to entry to someone coming from say Python.

I am interested in hearing what people think.
> I can't stand this mentality. Why do people think that because someone is a shareholder/CEO in a company, all their deeds from that point on are purely self-interest?

That's not exactly it, but I would like if you could show me an example of a CEO doing something publicly which would go against the interest of their company.
I don't know about India, but I know that in many western European countries overdraft fees such as those that are common in the US would be considered above the maximum legal interest rate, because of that the bank has no big incentive in letting you withdraw money you don't have. Consider also how much more widespread chip and pin cards are on this side of the pond, and you're starting to make me suspect that the wider adoption of chip and pin might have been helped by usury laws.
replying to myself like a pro: after reading the spec https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html#the-noscript-el..., the <noscript> element is even trickier, it has at least 4 parsing modes:

in the head with scripting disabled (no text, only link, style, meta)

in the head, with scripting enabled (can include text (like whitespaces) but parsed elements must result in link,style,meta DOM only)

in the body with scripting disabled (text, but no other noscript)

in the body with scripting enabled (text, but no other noscript and script tags)

so basically

<html><noscript><link href="e.css"></noscript><title>hi</title><h1>ho</h1>

would be find, as the <head> would close just before the <h1> (in scripting enabled and disabled case)

but:

<html><noscript> <link href="e.css"></noscript><title>hi</title><h1>ho</h1>

would close the <head> in a scripting disabled case just before the <noscript>-tag

and closes the <head> just before the <h1> in a scripting enabled case.

this would explain the DOMParser.parseFromString() behaviour, as it's a scripting disabled case....
There's enough distinct sets of knowledge and experience that there will always it problems communicating succinctly (a title) and effectively to everyone. In this case, if you visit the link, one of the header menu items is "Roguelikes?" which explains it.
You seem to misunderstand what's going on here. HTML5 explicitly lists which tags are optional in what context, and the document style presented in the link takes that fact and recommends thus removing any optional tag to save data over the wire. There is nothing "malformed" about this, this is literally doing what the spec says is explicitly valid. Any proper HTML5 parser regardless, of which language its written in or for, should be able to parse HTML5 with optional tags omitted perfectly fine.

If PHP's DOM functions don't work for it, then PHP's DOM functions aren't HTML5 spec compliant, and that should be filed as issues against PHP and fixed by its developers.
Simple conflicts of interest revealed in a one minute Google search:

A) Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw, Anderson Cooper, Fareed Zakaria, Katie Couric - and many others - are all members of the press who are supposed to objectively vet candidates, and who will/have moderated political debates, were previously listed as a 'Notable Members' the Clinton Foundation. [1]

B) More than 1/2 of the private entities she met with while Sec of State donated to her Fund - total over $50M. Foreign governments with whom she dealt with directly gave her fund over $170M - this is just the first 1/2 of her term. That's a serious conflict of interest. "Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she (Clinton, as Sec. State) and her top aides (again government officials) had with foundation donors." [2]

C) Clinton put someone on a government board (security related) - who had no experience in the field. [3]

It's a long list.

The article infers that "the greatest good for the greatest number" morality is the least likely to be dropped under the stress of operating in a second language (one catalog of the other components is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory). Stipulating that, should you make the same choice in the absence of stress?
Fair enough. The CSS file was not copied, but I tried to get the same style.
I think so.

Not always. It depends on how you are processing incoming packets and if you can do it bulk or elide some processing when you have more to work with.
Agreed. Years ago I started doing all my projects in XHTML because I found that debugging silent HTML errors was not fun.

Silent errors include things like malformed tags and attributes, incorrect nesting structure (thus also messing up where CSS rules are applied), and unescaped left-angles and ampersands.
For what it's worth:

Not the same as TypeScript or Haskell, but may help.

Note that Erlang/Elixir programmers don't care about most runtime errors as we use Supervisors to restart processes that may crash because of them.
Startup School Livestream
It saddens me that people advocating mainstream technologies describe "smart programmers" as unable to ship or make pragmatic choices. There is absolutely no evidence of that. To me it just sounds like sore losers talking. I've never met anyone voicing that critic who had actually tried both approaches.

In my opinion, average-level programmers on critical projects with deadlines will quickly cripple your team's ability to deliver due to technical debt, and throwing 3x more of those easy-to-hire/fire men at it won't solve the issue.

I've chosen such an "esoteric" technology for my startup, because we had ambitious technical objectives, and it proved extremely beneficial - we would never have been able to deliver a system so robust so quickly with mainstream technologies (which I know because I've used those, so I'm in a position to make an informed comparison).

There are legitimate uses of both established and cutting-edge technologies, but from what I've seen the people who fiercely advocate mainstream technologies are more often reluctant to leave their comfort zone than making pragmatic, informed choices.
Low birthrates, low marriage rates, sure that's a problem for a nation.

But I don't think virginity need be a problem. If one wants to wait until they meet their right partner why not? Data shows this leads to stronger bonds (though the causation is unknown and may be something like religion).

It's not like more premarital sex even correlates to higher birth rates. If fact for first world countries the correlation has been the inverse since the introduction of the pill in the 1960s.

I suspect child rearing is one of those things that mentally many consider to be a nuisance, but once it happens and there's a kid our emotions take significant hold and it becomes all important.

I'd have to test this, but I'm pretty certain screen readers will not know how to properly navigate your content if you aren't providing structured data markup.

To see Google recommend this while they're simultaneously pushing Structured Data seems odd to me. Maybe they want everyone to do it with JSON-LD instead; who knows.

Sorry, but I'm going to keep using semantic tags that make the structure of my content obvious. P tags should not be hanging out in the middle of nowhere.
I wish people would stop saying thay. It is an issue. Maybe not for you, but for a lot of people. It allows any server you connect to to enumerate all of your public keys and identities. If you use nasty leaky services like Github then at least one of your public keys can be used to identify you. This is bad and stupid.

This is why you should tell SSH to use specific keys for specific hosts, and fall back to a nonexistent key for unknown hosts.
No problem. There's more important stuff to keep up with.
No the article uses ATMs as an example but the general accounting principals apply regardless. Consider paper checks or IOUs. Humanity literally has thousands of years doing eventual financial consistency while ACID compliance has only existed for the last 50 or so.

I'm not saying ACID isn't good (or that NoSQL is a panacea) but we have long had exceedingly successful financial systems without ACID.
Disclaimer: I work on distributed systems and have spoken around the world on them, so I am very biased.

I think something a lot of people miss is that the universe itself is not strongly consistent. This is Einstein's theory of relativity. It fundamentally takes time for information to travel.

So if strong consistency is not viable, even at a physics level, what can we do instead? That is why our team here at http://gun.js.org/ believe in CRDTs. What are CRDTs? They are data structures that are mathematically proven to produce the same results on retries - so even if the power goes out, or the network fails, you can safely re-attempt the update.

This means you fundamentally don't need "transactions" or any of these jargon words that people often throw out. Sadly CRDTs are becoming another one of those jargons, despite how simple they are in reality.
A conservative guess would be "about 100%", since every browser (even the shitty ones built over the weekend these days) rely on HTML5-compliant DOM parsers.

Since this code follows the official HTML5 spec to the letter (optional means optional - a parser will do the same whether an optional thing is written our or left off), HTML5-compliant parsers just see "correct data" and convert it into the only DOM it can be turned into.
Reasons Why US Elections 2016 Will Make History
Before we get into a huge discussion about virginity, it's worth noting that the government isn't actually worried about it. They're worried about fertility rates.

Virgins sell more papers though, so lets get that clickbait going.
Smaller file size -> faster loading (in theory... if gzipped, it's probably redundant).

Possibly faster parsing, because the parser has less HTML so go through. (also probably not valid, because I'd be pretty sure that reading a string from memory is not the bottleneck in parsing, compared to logic, memory allocations, etc).

It could make a difference for Googles server infrastructure though.

If they have to download a tiny bit less, and save a tiny bit on CPU cycles and memory for each page, , it might still lead to considerably savings.
Please tell me how to paste into a VMWare VM console. To my knowledge, this is not possible.

I definitely make "cooler" judgments in situations where I'm speaking German (learned while living here as a young adult) than I do in my native English. I also have never lost my temper in a German conversation like I occasionally do in English, but have gotten good and angry after, once I had some time to think about what was said.

So I see how discussing an issue in one's second language could affect how likely someone is to use utilitarian morality.

It's also harder to think about intent the same way in a second language you can work in, but that you weren't raised in, so that might be part of why the result of actions appeared to matter more than their motivations to people reading about the situations in their second languages.
Python context managers and heartbeats :)
Sounds like a case of mistaking "a thing" for "the only thing": yes, of course this is a thing you make your build tasks take care of, but then you also make sure that any HTML code that is still coded by hand code (because why would you even still have that anywhere, in real projects these days?) follows your project/club/company/organization/whatever's style guide.
