Yeah, the use of "creative" here is odd. A corporate lawyer is a creative worker, whereas an artist or writer working in a coffee shop is probably a service worker.

Not hard to understand what they mean, but creative as a term is diluted here.
How to Install and Configure NATS on Ubuntu 16.04
Those aren't just competitive spaces -- those are almost the paradigmatic examples of concepts that have repeatedly failed over the past two decades to demonstrate business value, but that startups and investors keep returning to like Kipling's burnt fool.

Those are concepts that are highly competitive because they have near-zero barriers to entry, while the underlying markets are themselves highly fragmented (significantly driving up your acquisition costs), highly competitive (meaning that there isn't much revenue to share with your startup), and already using multiple capture channels for their customers (meaning that you are unlikely to provide killer value to them). But for some reason -- I have my own theories there -- there's always some concept in those spaces getting funded, so they seem more greenfield than they are.
Backup ninja. It handles backing up to remote servers via rdiff, so I have snapshots back as far as I need them. The remote server is on another provider. As long as I have SSH login via key to the remote server enabled, ninja backup will install the dependencies on the remote server for me.
Cray had always resisted the massively parallel solution to high-speed computing, offering a variety of reasons that it would never work as well as one very fast processor. He famously quipped "If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use: Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?"

I cannot see how this thing can be programmed efficiently (to at least 70% of computing capacity, as most vector machines can be programmed for).

Exactly. I'm still not sure how we ended up in this world where people no longer understand market competition and consumer value choices. People choose platforms and products based upon what is convenient for them, not necessarily best for them. In the 90s AOL became the internet for many people because it met their wants and needs, much like Facebook has today. Consumers/users are not idealists with regard to their choices and they never will be.

We could argue for a while whether it's "few" or not depending on which scale or species you're looking at, but that wasn't really the point. I'm not really even concerned with the death of a given species or organism in and of itself, but other people are.

It's a selection process that results in countless creatures suffering and dying over and over. Sometimes even the selected creatures are suffering immensely and dying shortly after reproducing.

The environment changed too drastically and killed off most species. Humans changed the environment too drastically and it killed off some species. I fail to see what is it that humans are introducing that is so novel. If anything, it just seems like we're tapping into an existing process. Or, I would say, we always were part of the existing process.

Should we promote the process? I do not think so. But talking about opposing or stopping nature is the direct opposite of the usual rhetoric one hears, which is often in the form of: "Humans are terrible and are driving these poor creatures extinct and messing up the environment, we are not paying respects to Mother Nature!"

Meanwhile "Mother Nature" is OK with flooding the entire atmosphere with a completely different gas and making it unlivable for anything that used to be there before.

Today's North Korea doesn't have much to do with communism. It's a monarchy or a hereditary dictatorship or "Fascism meets Micromanagement". The difference is mostly in the distribution of power: while the individual is highly restricted in both systems, in communism it's your peers that are supposed to make your life miserable, not the supreme leader.

It's even more pronounced with Russia and China (and nowadays Turkey, with Hungarian aspirations to join the club): Fiercely capitalistic economies* in an almost complete absence of other civil liberties.

For NK, I doubt that a comparison makes any sense, considering how far removed it is from other countries' societies. How do you account for widespread forced labor? What's the real value of any income they get if part of it is in quotas for food, and most prices are subject to change at a moments notice when PJ thinks it's a good idea or toilet paper reserves are running dry?

*as long as it doesn't come into contact with political realm, and sometimes obscured by an additional kleptocratic layer.

if you think dealing with time is a problem, try measuring elapsed time on computers that sleep :)

the solution i found (when dealing with this problem in C# a few years ago) is that you need to poll the time in an update loop (running at, say 10hz or whatever resolution you need). if you have a sudden jump in time between two loops, chances are the computer was asleep.

or there was a leap second.

or you are sampling local time instead of UTC and daylight savings just occurred, or the user crossed timezones.

or the user changed their clock manually.

Or the computer resynced with the time server (happens quite often, and can cause negative time to elapse. Better check the CPU for elapsed ticks instead!)

man... this is starting to sound like roll-your-own-cryptography ;)
I think I remember seeing a game like this; moving along one axis also moved you through different periods of time, so that a wall that blocks your path "today" wasn't built "yesterday" and might be a ruin you can jump over "tomorrow".

This is a quite unintelligent response - people can learn if they put their minds to it.

Case in point, I'm a PhD dropout from a top 15 math program in the US - I did not really code at all to any serious degree. After pouring a lot of time & effort, even after starting, I became very good at what I do. I have encountered plenty of people in the profession who have become solid to very good developers, including a former grad school colleague. The people have come from all sorts of walks of life, from college dropouts to sales.

Also to contrast, I have also worked with not great developers who have CS degrees. A degree does not tell me if you are passionate about what you do, or if you retained any knowledge from schooling - nor does various indicators that you have coded prior.
This whole thread including this comment feels like people who haven't ever been to The Netherlands making suggestions that make no sense for the cycling culture here.

So firstly as has been covered in other comments here, cyclists in The Netherlands don't want to wear helmets for their daily commuting, it doesn't solve any sort of safety problem for them when you factor in the inconvenience they cause.

Secondly even if they did most bicycle chains here are over an inch thick, not something you can thread through a bicycle helmet.

Sure you could carry some extra wire just to lock the helmet to the bike, but that gets you even further down the road of making a bunch of special accommodations to solve a problem that doesn't exist in the first place.
It doesn't seem to matter that the phone is powered down, as shown by this incident on a South West airlines flight where the Note 7 caught fire after it was powered down.

Here's an excerpt from an interview by The Verge on this incident [1]:

"Green said that he had powered down the phone as requested by the flight crew and put it in his pocket when it began smoking."

But isn't the "wall" we are hitting the result of quantum tunneling(leaking) and less about the photolithography process or am I misunderstanding your comment?
Honestly, I thought their initial response was fine. There were probably a few too many incidents before a recall was announced, but it happened pretty quickly, and you have to give them a bit of time to do their own internal "what the hell is going on" assessment. Fairly quickly though, they announced a global recall, communicated what to do to their customers, and said all the right things to make it right. My wife bought one the day after launch. Once the recall started, there was nothing tepid or ambiguous. She got multiple direct communications laying out the steps to take for the recall.

The big problems are (a) they didn't actually seem to get it fixed, (b) they didn't actually seem to get it fixed, and (c) the appearance (and possible reality) that they cut corners initially to get to market before the iPhone.
I have often wondered why we don't wear helmets while in a car. It seems like it would be a positive to safety.

It's almost impossible to compare any single piece of a tax system in isolation without taking into account the cost of the living, market access and the tax system as a whole.

It may be better to look at government spending in proportion to the GDP and ignore how the government actually got this money. Even when the government lends money -- that's just money your grandchildren will have to pay back through taxes (with interest).

The gov-spending/GDP ratio should be a better indicator of the 'tax' climate.

But even that, could be very misleading. If you need a lot of high educated staff, you would prefer a government that spends that money on free high quality class-free education. If you are an oil company, you might actually prefer that money being spend on a war machine.

It's true in (at least some areas of) the US as well. I went downhill skiing in California for the first time in a few years last winter and, for the first time, I was very aware that I was definitely in the minority not wearing a helmet. (I do wear a hat with some impact resistant padding.)

There's been a big shift. I suspect at least part of it has been that helmets have been the norm for kids for a while--especially after snowboarding became common. I assume many parents felt they had to start wearing helmets if they were telling their kids they had to.
I knew that.

I've always wondered what it is that Anand Lal Shimpi, Brian Klug (also formerly Anandtech) and (now) Chris Ziegler (formerly The Verge) do at Apple (or did if they've moved on). At first I thought they might be involved in PR and media outreach but that doesn't seem to be the case. Now I'd guess maybe they just painstakingly review devices just like they did before except now they do internal only reviews of Apple's prototypes and maybe the competition.
JDK9 Build 139 Early Access Release
An unlikely-to-happen view from a different perspective - if other manufacturers' devices exhibit the same issue, we could probably, just probably, start having devices with removable batteries. The airlines could charge passengers to have the batteries stowed away in a "safe" condition (whatever it takes to keep them from catching fire even when isolated).

I'm not the first to think about or wish for this. Many sites have (coincidentally) mentioned or wondered about the same.

Amazon doesn't give you access any kind of information about your customers. I just see raw sales figures for each e-book. Apple is the same way. The reason for this is they benefit the most by keeping you and your customers separated, so you can't wiggle your way in between them and "cut out the middle man."

So for us, we don't really have any kind of marketing plan other than trying just trying to make a great reading experience.

It helps that our bikes are heavy and you sit up straight.

The rest of the world keeps talking about helmets, even though they ride complete death traps. Their mountain bikes and race bikes. Off course you are going to die riding one of those in NYC.

I would advise them to just outlaw those bikes, instead of making/keeping helmets mandatory.

This focus on helmets is ridiculous, because you only have to types of bikes:

1. Death traps

2. Dutch bikes

You want less people to die in traffic while riding a bike? Don't make a helmet mandatory. Make the dutch bike mandatory. Your bike needs to be heavy. You need to sit up straight. And if you stretch your legs you have to stand.

Whenever i see the images of americans on rice bikes and mountain bikes in NYC, i too think it looks incredibly dangerous.

If i would hit a door with a dutch bike, i wouldn't fall, i would just stand still. And the door will likely be a bit broken.

It's not about the helmets. Its about the bike design.
I wouldn't be able to do that off the top of my head because, in my C experience, I hardly ever read files. Everything we did was reading from or writing to memory buffers.

Furthermore, we did almost all system interactions through a platform-independent middleware interface. So, while I, for example, knew what a semaphore was and how to use it I could not remember the standard Linux interface for semaphores because we used the platform-independent API for ours.

Expecting people to remember APIs off the top of their heads is ridiculous. Some do, some don't. The people who don't aren't lesser engineers just because they don't.
