Aren't these orthogonal concerns, mostly?

There is no reason you need cul-de-sacs in order to have large lots. In fact, it's often easier to have more usable space in a grid system because you aren't dealing with as many curves.

The suburbs have more space because they are the suburbs, not because they have cul-de-sacs.

To your second point, suburbs don't suddenly become 'city grids' with all the traffic that implies just because they use a grid layout. Yes, traffic will almost certainly be higher in front of your house if you are not in a cul-de-sac, but that doesn't mean it's unsafe for kids to play there. There are a lot of quiet suburban streets, built on a grid, and kids definitely play in them.

The article makes the point that grids actually decrease the amount of traffic, and its speed. It seems likely that the variation of traffic conditions is much lower; every street has some traffic, but no streets have lots of traffic. Grids promote walking and cycling, and are potentially serviced by public transport better (likely because they weren't designed car-first).

So yes, there are benefits to living in a cul-de-sac, but I would think most of those benefits come from living in a suburb in the first place. The cul-de-sacs, as opposed to a grid system, just make suburbs a worse place to live overall.
fun fact, your cell phone provider doesn't scan your text messages for "keywords" until you try to delete them... maybe he thought reddit worked the same way.
One of my former colleagues failed to pass his interview after his company was acquihired by Google. He had designed and contributed a decent portion of the core of the product. One of his projects for the company had about 50 stars on github.

rock doesn't usually vaporize into optically transparent stuff, which makes laser drilling pretty inefficient in general
Not to mention what was probably an expensive domain name.

It definitely seems shady to me.
Pittsburgh's neighborhoods are also heavily segregated by geography. You really can't go more than maybe a mile being generous, ½mi more likely, without hitting a major elevation change. Additionally, we're starting to add better support for bikes; it's not super great, but it's getting a lot better than even 5 years ago.
That argument doesn't follow at all.
A lot of us grew up in a suburban setting, and did not like it. We moved to an urban setting for a reason.

Deleting them now is just stupid panic. They've been found, they've been archived, they've been reported. The only thing deleting them does is make him look guilty as hell even if he's done nothing wrong at all.
Are foreign corporations people? - that is the question.
Yea, I do think that they are wild speculators. Just because I believe in some of their causes doesn't mean they can do no wrong. I think that they tend to go to more of an extreme than I'm comfortable with. But I think it's understandable because when they fight for freedom and what have you, they face opposition from people and businesses that shapes their opinion of them. This means that they become more partisan and fight against these 'rivals' instead - which is not wrong - but it's too political for me.
Some people just did it. Some even wrote books based on such experience.
Interesting.

Does anyone know if there is any form of signing the outlook data exports / live datastore that would prevent easy external programmatic replacement?

What amazes me is that a reddit user found it but somehow all of the FBI investigators didn't.
Given that `setMinute` sets the minute in the same hour and `setHour` sets the hour in the same day, I'd think `setDay` setting to the day in the same week would be rather logical
Regardless of your politics or beliefs of what happened, I think a simple bit of advice is truth:

If you are going to run an e-mail server in difficult circumstances then hire a System Administrator who does not need to post obviously problematic questions to Reddit.
Technically, you are consuming your own man-hours during leisure time.
I used to have all kinds of trouble communicating my personal email. My solution was to get the shortest unpronounceable domain name I could manage, paying as much attention as I could to visually unambiguous characters (though this was frustrated considerably by availability), and hooking it up to a catch-all domain mailbox. If I'm going to have to spell it anyway, why not make it as easy as possible? It makes it less cumbersome to use the NATO alphabet too, which I establish by starting with "b for bravo". Yes, this was a reaction to getting a few emails to "bravo@..."!

I had to go with the .net TLD, but .net is WAY less confusing to people than my old .org. This process has not needed refinement for years.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/ has impeccable standards and more than half a million subscribers, just as one other example.
I've never had problems with my .org domain. I think I once had a customer service person ask "Why dot org?", and they were satisfied by the answer "Well, I'm not a company..."

I've had more problems caused by the occasional assumption that everyone in the world uses gmail.
Expressing the value of data science in an ROI framework
What if I wanted to get the day at the beginning of the week that a date occurred in? For instance, if you had a payroll system where you paid hourly workers weekly, it would be useful to be able to bucket the hours worked on the day that the paycheck is sent
On a cul-de-sac, almost all the traffic is of people that live there. Hours can go by with absolutely no traffic.
I'm guessing that a person who asks this kind of "help-me-cover-something-up" question while mentioning that his client is "VERY VIP" is also completely oblivious of how findable things are on today's Internet. I'm guessing the Internet detective work might have come from something very serendipitous and casual: Someone interested in the email server scandal doing a search for "Paul Cambetta", which is a fairly rare name, and landing upon his Etsy page with the also unusual handle of "stonetear", and then googling that and finding his Reddit account.
> "As a PST file or exported MSG files, this could be done though, yes?
> The issue is that these emails involve the private email address of someone you'd recognize, and we're trying to replace it with a placeholder address as to not expose it."

From the way it reads it looks like he is asking how to bulk remove an email address from the archived messages so when they are turned over they don't contain the redacted email address.

I assume it would be embarrassing and/or problematic to share the email addresses of various ambassadors and other government officials in public records. You could also read something nefarious into it if you want.

This whole fishing expedition is hilarious and transparently political. The Bush administration ran private email servers to avoid FOIA requests, then nuked millions of saved emails when his term was up to avoid handing them over. I didn't see any huge circus or massive outcry about that.

The idea that we should be able to immediately read all the correspondence written by any public official also seems silly... it just encourages public officials not to use email. People are allowed to have private conversations. A reasonable compromise might be a time limit... say emails are held sealed for X years after leaving office, then made public?
I really like the superfuture guides (http://superfuture.com/supershop). They lean heavily towards shopping (and clothing in particular), but having read the ones for NY and Tokyo, they also have a whole heap of genuinely interesting places that something like a Lonely Planet doesn't have.

With that said, their app experience is kind of fragmented and not that strong IMO. But worth a look if you're travelling to one of the countries they cover.
You are amazed a group of 100 million people knew something 6 guys in an office did not?
I got this from reddit but someone made a wordpress page with 4 years of his account history : https://paulcombetta.wordpress.com
> They often don't really understand my use case. They only hear one part of what my team is trying to do, and then act like they know what I need. Yes, your suggestion works for the use case you know about, but not for the 10 other use cases I need to design for.

So then can you not say "but I also have REQUIREMENT_X for this project? Do you think that your solution will mesh with this other need I have?"

If you can't have a technical discussion defending why you feel your solution is the best then you must not be confident about your solution.
So setting the day of the week would set to that day in the same week the date occurred; I don't think that's any weirder than calling `setMonth` to change the month on a date
Long secret stingray manuals detail
I didn't understand the article to be against suburbs but against the cul-de-sac supporting layout that makes it hard for people to get around without a car. If suburbs were designed differently we could have both space and easier walkability and bikeability.

How would you feel about a grid with parks sprinkled in instead of cul-de-sac? I have a small public park across the street and it gets heavy usage from the kids that live around it. Traffic is still pretty low despite the street connecting the neighborhood to the main thoroughfare that leads to the freeway.

My wife used to own a home in a development in California that was actually designed around cul-de-sacs. However, there were walk ways between houses that allowed you to get around on foot quickly and be in less than 5 minutes at a small mall that had a grocery store, cafes etc. That also might solve some issues discussed in the article.

I do think that the boneheaded zoning in the US that practically aims to ruin walkability is as always a huge factor as well.
This is interesting. I was up drinking beer with a friend until 5am this morning talking about the very phenomenon of breaking news coming from social media and sites such as Reddit. He pointed to the Boston bombing and Dallas shooter situations as reasons why the press should "just ignore" social media; his entire argument boiled down to 'bad data exists along side good data, therefore throw it all out"

I didn't necessarily disagree that there are moments where we got it wrong, for sure. I tried arguing that using those events as a point of reference for insulating journalism a bit better was probably a good idea; you know "first step to overcoming a problem is admitting you have one" and he was having none of it. Maybe this story will do the trick.

Really curious to see where this goes taking some points from that debate.
After I was beaten down by a group of Romas, I made a declaration of theft at the Police station.

The officers there explained what they had been living after only three months of Roma invasion: 100% of street crimes, larceny, house and flat theft were directly attributed (with testimony, video) to Romas. There was a fire at one of the camps and Romas went to the press to clamour about racism and hatred, but when the Police asked to investigate, the Roma leaders refused access. The Police did anyway, and in addition to children hidden from the administration, criminally insalubrious conditions, and a ton of stolen equipment, they realised there were a feud with another nearby camp. They went there, and the leader there promised to “Burn them to the ground, for good this time”. After that, they took testimonies from Romas with a grain of salt.
The thing about legalized abortion is that it would have had no effect outside the US.

> I'd like to point out that React has had breaking changes roughly 6 or less months apart

When? Can you cite an example? Keep in mind that for most breaking changes React typically goes to a deprecation warning for the duration of a major release instead of hard-breaking changes, so in reality you have roughly double the time between truly breaking releases, generally speaking.
Guanxi is a concept that most foreigners will never completely grok. It is not only about relationship. Most foreigners call it even the G-word when spoken about. It is different how we see relationships being maintained. There is a lot more play and rituals involved.

It differs how much it influences daily interactions, citywide or regionally. In Beijing it is noticeable in a lesser degree, but often is perceived by outsiders/foreigners as 'bribing' when a small present is involved.

Edit: I do not mean anything bad. I have lived in Beijing, China for many years (married to a Chinese). Just some foreigners have more difficulty to understand this (as the reasoning why they call it the G-word). I hate to call this a 'cultural difference', as I believe it is mostly related to misunderstanding. This is all due to a different upbring, in a different environment (and receiving a different sense of what is common). This can often lead to misunderstandings as people perceive the actions in the wrong way. It might help to have a look at Cultural Dimensions [https://docs.com/gerard-braad/1061/cultural-dimensions-asia]. This explains some of the things involved. Just a translating it to 'relationship' does not mean it has the same meaning. Many words and concepts are different between cultures. TL;DR It is definitely not the negative words mentioned below. Just 'smoothing' a relationship which seems beneficial should not be seen as brown-nosing. Above; hyh1048576 explained it very well. People blame themselves if they got rejected for something... others might judge them as saying they haven't put enough 'effort' into it. When the relation seems beneficial, they will try to do something to 'smoothing' the relationship. But as mentioned, in Beijing this happens in a much lesser degree but not invisible.

This ignores the elephant in the room: international competition. Top western games such as World of Warcraft have done extremely well in China without having to rewrite the stories or change their artwork.

A huge issue is that the Chinese gaming companies are accustomed to very little international competition for Chinese themed games and in the last five years or so, limited competition at all. It's similar to how Youku thrived in China (especially after YouTube got blocked) but can't compete internationally. Winning in China and successfully entering a market where US and Japanese game companies are unrestrained are two very different challenges.
I've read from an ex-JavaFX developer that Oracle isn't actively developing it.

At that level money takes on a whole new meaning. It's no longer a form of currency used to purchase things but more of an abstract perception of power.
I grew up in a neighborhood that was laid out in a more or less rectangular grid. We played in the street all the time. Actually, the street was just an extension of the front yards, meaning that we had overall more space.

Playing in yards meant having to watch out for flower beds, and for neighbors who were fussy about their lawns.

During the summer, we played endless street hockey. When a car came, someone yelled "CAR" and we cleared out of the street.

One thing to note is that there were fewer cars and less traffic back then. When I go back to visit my parents, the same streets are parked up and down both sides with cars, with an apparent preference for giant pickup trucks. Some of traffic is kids being driven to destinations that we used to walk or ride our bikes to. The kids are also driven to the same elementary school that we walked to.
It's possible that the mistake was intentional. Maybe he wanted her to be exposed.
I think learning to code by writing a game is perhaps not the greatest method to learn to code, and definitely not a great way to learn computer science, but it does have its advantages.

A visual feedback loop can be useful to those unfamiliar with computer concepts. Being able to think about complex algorithms with concrete examples (think graphics, physics, game state machines, dialogue scripting) can help reign in the abstract concepts.

Additionally, being exposed to multiple forms of art can be useful to find a creative outlet you may not have considered before e.g. music, art, writing, design.

That being said, I think making games is really hard. I think a lot of people want to make games and don't realize how difficult it really is. I think everyone should try it at least once.

I typically recommend Processing[0] to young hopefuls.

> Also engines like Unity provide a false sense of security when infact you have no idea what's going on behind the scene

And that's okay. Maybe that's a lesson that can only be taught the hard way. Maybe you care deeply about what is going on behind the scenes, maybe you couldn't care less.

Also, most successful games are not written from scratch. Unity and friends have had a staggering impact on the indie game industry. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that plenty of game developers have never used anything else.

I think the most important thing is that no matter what you do you should enjoy doing it. If you really want to make a game but you have no idea how to code, and you find it intimidating, maybe this is for you.

Really? This is the least surprising thing about all of this.
Not counting LOGO, making small changes in Borland Pascal (a DOS IDE with an integrated debugger, profiler and disassembler) trying random things until it didn't lock up the computer with a copy of The Programmer's PC Sourcebook to try out various video functions and draw on the screen using the framebuffer.

The removal of private email addresses should be left to the State Department who was in charge of releasing those emails. In the emails released so far, Clinton's actual address has been removed from the To: field (physically, as in it was whited-out) as is at least one name from the From: field

http://graphics.wsj.com/hillary-clinton-email-documents/pdfs...

But I could see this as a result of incompetency, that is, the IT person didn't realize that it's not up to him to redact addresses, the State Dept. could do it. I know that sounds naive but we're talking about an IT person who posted this question on Reddit using an account easily connected to him, so, incompetency is inherent in the scenario.

edit: Apparently, there is a Slashdot user named "StoneTear" who has been posting since 2002 and has made reference about working in government and knows about their data retention policies.

Another glaring exception is Interstate 238 in California. It's an important, if short, route in the Bay Area, but at the time it was redesignated an Interstate, every x80 number had been taken, either by other local freeways, or by unrelated highways. So, when it was updated to interstate standards, they just decided to let it keep its old number, even though interstate 38 doesn't even exist.

Since then, Highway 480 (it was never formally adopted as an Interstate) has been removed, but renumbering would be more trouble than it's worth, so it's remained I-238.
The point isn't that streets are for pedestrians - the point is that the streets are not single-purpose.

The street I lived on in Stockholm had a life cycle like:

- 6am - early people head to work

- 8am - kids head to school

- 10am - parents with baby strollers pass by on their way to cafes

- 11am - first people show up for lunch at the square

- 12pm-2pm - bulk lunch traffic

- 4pm - people start coming back home

- 5pm - people going shopping down the street

- 6pm - shops start closing, shop keepers fiddling with their things

- 7pm - dinner guests start passing by on their way to the restaurants

- 11pm - last restaurant guests start heading home

Compare that to the cul-de-sac I now live on in the US:

- 6am - people start leaving, everyone drives

- 10am - all cars are gone at this point

- 5pm - people come home, all in cars

The difference here has nothing to do with grid or windy streets, it has to do with mixed use buildings and streets built to be used for multiple purposes.

The effect is quite substantial: In the Stockholm neighborhood, I always felt safe, always had neighbors going places on the street.

In my US neighborhood, the streets are almost always empty. No one has a reason to come here for most of the day. This is why the local PD posts a patrol car at our dead-end cul-de-sac every Saturday night, because otherwise people come out here to smoke pot, since there's never anyone around
I play several! But of course I'm not proficient in all of them, which is the whole point. There isn't an "universal controller" that is expressive enough across a variety of timber types... Yet if that existed one could master one interface and do a lot more musically with that acquired skill.
#2, who owns Zara among other clothing brands, never completed high school, but Zara has brilliant ideas. No connections, I think he started as a messenger for the firm that he was to head. He's sounds like someone Malcolm Gladwell would write about.

I used to run a minecraft server for my friends on $NAME.com and still own the domain. There's apparently a construction company also called $NAME, and they own $NAME.net. $NAME.net is on all their branding, emails, contact info. As far as I know, they've never used $NAME.com.

I routinely get email meant for them sent to to $NAME.com, sometimes including personal information, and sometimes from employees at the company. I guess their clients assume that businesses always own the dot-com for their name and don't think to verify the actual address (I'm not sure why the employees don't know their own email addresses).

Because of that experience, I try to own the dot-com for any project I start.
