That's unsurprising. I would never use vi or emacs for beginners.

However, I also didn't care what my students used. I taught Eclipse. One of my students said: "Is using Netbeans okay?" "Okay? That fact that you have a conception about IDE's makes me ecstatic. Absolutely, you can feel free to use whatever you choose. Just know that I can't answer questions about your IDE, so you are on your own for that."

For my very senior class, I set things up so that they could actually use any of the JVM languages rather than just straight Java (Using Groovy, Jython, JRuby, etc. would have made their programs SOOOOOOO much smaller and easier). Disappointingly, nobody took advantage of it.
I said "dip into", not "dive into" and by dip into I meant discovering I needed Java rather than a Clojure function.
So, you're angry at her for not doing something you don't want her to do, but you feel like she would do it, even though she's not doing it. And you're throwing in random accusations of lying. You're reinforcing my thought that you are just trying to find an excuse to be angry.
The Open-Source Foundation Behind Startups
So, you conflated share of the voting age population with share of those planning to vote for one of the two major candidates, tried to get a number for that from percentage spread between the two major candidates among those planning on voting for any candidate, and then rounded favorably to your candidate. Resulting in an implausibly high number matching Trump's support in the general electorate even though the same source says that his support among women is substantially lower.
awesome idea, is the compensation required to be money? or it could be an exchange of knowledge?

Thanks for the comments. Yes, this deserves more explanation.

I mean "valid" essentially as a truism. It's a valid perspective because people are able to hold that perspective.

What makes it important to point out, in my opinion, is that it doesn't matter how irrational or ugly or wrong that perspective is, it can't simply be dismissed because it is such. That makes us incapable of fostering an environment in which all parties can grow their perspectives.

My wife's pregnant and she often has incredibly irrational fears. She will even point out that she has no logical underpinning for feeling a certain way. But she does feel that way. Her perspective, no matter what doctors tell her, is that there's so many things that may go wrong. And that's valid. Instead of, "well, if you know it makes no sense to feel that way, then stop feeling that way, right?" we work to understand what might be causing it and use what levers and knobs in life we have to eliminate those fears.

If we dismiss certain perspectives as being an invalid state for one to be in, we close doors on addressing it.

I'm not really much of a writer or persuasive voice, so I hope you're able to pick up what I'm trying to convey. Heck, maybe I'm just using words wrongly. I've been known to cromulate that from time to time.
Thanks, I'll write to you soon.
edit: :)
Uh, on the contrary, I've found your narrative helpful in showing how one might arrive at the conclusion that finding more bugs is evidence that more won't be found later.

I often try to back up abstract arguments with a concrete illustration, it makes things clearer for me.

I've clearly failed to make myself understood, I don't think it's useful to continue this conversation.

I was hired to work on an existing codebase that used sbt. I had domain knowledge and plenty of general development experience but I hadn't used Java, the JVM, or Scala for production code before. My previous background was C, Fortran, Python, and JavaScript (scientific computing and web dev).
Thank you for mentioning fusion. My money is on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell#Going_public

I don't understand how you still can't get it. Let us try again.

Suppose you're a professor and you had a super-productive student who wrote 100 very interesting papers. You only have time to read 50 of them, selected at random. However, you notice that in 10 of these 50 papers, there are mathematical errors. What do you expect of the remaining papers, how many errors will there be? This is basic statistics and nothing about this argument is emotional.

What if you read 50 papers and only one contained mistakes? Would you expect more or less errors now in the remaining papers?
well if you work a lot with Django than you have the same stuff like that aswell:

> https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/initial-data/
> https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/serialization/...

of course you can't just use it directly in Python.

Documentation is about reading, 90% of the stuff is just reading. And there is clearly everything said about the snippet above the snippet: "In the code samples below, we’ll use the following JSON:".
Since you already visited the last page, you should've probably already understood how to parse the Json.

I see a lot of issue's on a daily basis and I even give some examples if needed, even if a discussion should take place on a mailing list, however I think before ANY issue should be made, people should carefully read and check if there is even an issue.

But Playframework's documentation is already really good. There are some cases which aren't described so good, but they aren't even well described in Django I guess, what I mean is testing, a lot of this topic is not easy and you probably learn on your way of getting a better developer to get better in it.

I started to contribute to Play! In the middle/start of the year and a lot of people are just helpful (and busy). And I've seen plenty of one character spelling mistakes merged.
If something is not strictly understandable we even give a advice to discuss it on the mailing list.
But for these people that are still supporting Trump, they consider that avoiding 90% of Hillary's platform worth the cost of Trump. Bear in mind, when Nate Silver pointed out that Trump would win if only men could vote, women (a small number, mind you) were tweeting they'd gladly give up their right to vote if it got Trump elected.

You have to understand that that is how some people feel about Hillary. That losing their own vote forever, for their entire gender, would be worth it to them to keep her out of office.
So, completely deflecting from the point. Does that mean you've given up trying to defend WikiLeaks' actions?
Why? Disney has invested countless dollars into Mickey Mouse over the past 89 years. It's not like the Happy Birthday song, being hoarded without innovation purely for profit; they're actively expanding/investing/improving and making billions of people happy.

Any comment/suggestion is really appreciated!
ryandrake is the one who brought childcare expenses into the thread, suggesting that that was one factor that limited people's freedom. uhtred is the one who responded with the reference to "[holding] back". I'm not sure which of the two (or both) you're objecting to.

It is literally true. I have two kids (100% by choice and I'm thrilled with that choice). However, they absolutely hold me back from doing things that I might do if we were still DINKs or if I were single. Being married (another choice that makes me extremely happy) holds me back from doing some other things that I'd do if I were single. None of the statements in this paragraph should be construed as meaning that I dislike my wife or kids.

I don't see the misanthropism in making a factual statement that some people feel that they can't drop their job and travel the world for a year because they have kids (or a mortgage, or student loans, or any other reason that ryan listed).
I think the OP wants the mapping of "us-east-1": "US East (N. Virginia)" &c.
I have 1 mainframe, and which I had 500 PCs...

It's solid engineering, but it's also a lot of branding.

If you have a "golden egg" application that have a lot of internal state so you can't run it on 10 servers, then a mainframe might be a good solution to keep it running.

I think the most common reason to have a mainframe is that you happen to have too many managers that used to be mainframe developers.

I literally couldn't care less about demographic checkboxes when listening to a talk about technology.

Is it safe to say you're a member of a demographic who has never had those checkboxes applied to them negatively?
A wife asks her programmer husband "Honey, could you go to the store and get a loaf of bread? Oh, and if they have eggs, take half a dozen."

So the guy comes back with six loaves of bread.
Coming from the other extreme where I had very little control of my life I'm not sure strict parents yelling at you a lot is a better motivator.

If anything I'd get an emotional response to do the opposite even if rationally I knew I should be studying or preparing for something.

Some autonomy to have your own life is preferred. It's with some irony that I largely have the job I do now because I ignored my mom and messed around with linux instead of constantly preparing for medschool. Though I did end up doing pre-med reqs in addition to CS anyway.
I know it's a rather sad state of affairs when I'm now reading /pol/ on 4chan to get my news nowadays. Once you filter out the noise, there's some intensive research and unbiased news there.

Is anyone else doing this?
Ah yes, bendgate, the thing that was definitely real and actually caused problems for many actual people in real life.
Your analogy isn't relevant to this conversation.
>Is it safe to say you're a member of a demographic who has never had those checkboxes applied to them negatively?

It sure sounds like you're trying to do that right now.

Can you explain to me why using race/demographics as a means to sideline and devalue my opinion isn't the highest form of hypocrisy in this context?

In other words... Isn't your question a perfect example of you "applying those checkboxes" to me negatively?
If you must Squeak to a company, attribute it to Apple. That's where the project started. The team behind it then moved to Walt Disney Imagineering (Disney's R&D Arm). From then, the team's corporate sponsorship becomes a tangled mess, but according to Wikipedia, they've been with HP Labs, SAP Labs, and... Y-Combinator.

Well, that's a name I didn't expect to see there.
And besides, I think you get at least 500x CPU. It's hard to beat Intel's CPUs.
Just mull the power and influence of deep learning: Yann LeCun is in FB, Geoffrey Hinton and part of his lab are affiliated with Google, Ruslan Salakhutdinov is now with Apple. In addition to this, there are other alumni of LeCun, Hinton, and Bengio dispersed across different notable companies like OpenAI, etc. Aside from the post-WW2 semiconductors-spurt, I can't think of a 'technology' that has become so suddenly so important as deep learning. You have a few scientists who spawned the fields of neural networks and deep learning in charge of what appear to be significant research efforts at the top tech companies (by market cap). Like silicon semiconductors and integrated circuits, deep learning approaches are likely to be the primary set of algorithms underlying many future 'intelligent' products and services. You will likely see a similar thing in biology/biotechnology with CRISPR in the near future.
FYI, a large number of enterprise orgs and Edus use Munki and Reposado to manage Macs.
Among these: Google(their fork is called Simian: https://github.com/google/simian) and Facebook.

Not only is Munki used across a large number of organizations, it also happens to arguable be the best current software management tool for Macs.

Another project maintained by the same group of MacAdmins is AutoPKG https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg

We have a program that grants a short (4 week) sabbatical every 5 years. You can add an additional 2 weeks of PTO to get to a 6 week break.

It's not an academic's typical sabbatical, but it's a nice perk to disconnect as well as force us to not be excessively dependent on a long-time veteran for daily ops.

To your last question, it's a company perk, so wasn't negotiated; my first one went very well; I caught up on some hobbies that I'd let slide and did some fun travel and am looking forward to my second one.
>The fact that others would have been dismissed or fired if they had done what she did isn't relevant, because the only person who could have fired her would have been the President.

Not trying to be rude, but you are confusing several different issues. This is not an issue of federal criminal code applying to an inferior officer (someone not appointed by the President) vs Officer. It's absolute and yes Officers can be arrested and prosecuted the same as anyone else. I'm not sure what case law you are referring to, but it's pretty clear the DOJ will prosecute Officers that violate federal law...
'a rich history of corruption'.

I agree cops can be corrupt, but they are just people.

There are a lot of police officers in America, I suggest they are a lot less corrupt than almost any other institution. The problem I guess is oversight, and trying to really assess the degree of the problem.

For example, when we see headlines of cops abusing Black potential criminals, we get upset, but the study by African America prof at Harvard revealed that cops were less likely to use weapons when dealing with Black people, though more likely to physically touch.

It's hard to take the headlines and put them into context.

Though they have a 'special place' in the sense that they are the front-line of the law and obviously a much higher standard of comportment that others ... I still believe that abuse is pretty rare.

Even if this cop was 'out of hand' ... I still don't see it as hugely problematic: a guy got kicked out of a session for doing some fairly controversial things - he was not asking a question so much as making a directly challenging political statement ... and it was likely his confrontation with the cop that got him the boot. It seems like he should not have gotten the boot. Fine. But it can be a confusing situation for security involved as well - and when it's like that, they're going to remove people from the situation. I seriously doubt the guy will be charged with anything. In the end - you have an individual antagonist / rabble-rouser who got kicked out of a lecture - when probably he shouldn't have. Big ff-ing deal. This is not high on the spectrum of 'problems'.

Cops rough-handling otherwise peaceful assailants etc., possibly being racist - this is possibly a very serious problem. But again, hard to put into context.

In terms of demonstrating 'police abuse' - this case simply doesn't register.

I think issues like police departments that get paid through their issuance of traffic tickets and seizures is probably a bigger problem than most other things.

I've never in my life witness a cop do anything that he really shouldn't and as far as I'm aware - nobody I know really has either, at least to the point wherein they feel it's important enough to share with me.

Anyhow - when it comes to this kind of stuff we need studies that can put things into context - not confusing anecdotal examples.

So, how do you create benefits that stack like that, without making the game too easy? With a procedural generator, it's difficult to determine what accomplishments will be hard and what will be easy.

All those components you mentioned could appear right near the users spawn point, or they could all be impossibly hard to gather, due to procedural randomness.
Don’t let your anger persist
Not to support OP's point, but there is a decent example. Intel, for a while, kept AMD in the game and licensed them x86 simply to avoid anti-trust laws (basically, Microsoft just got shafted so they wanted to be able to point to AMD and say "we have competition"). IIRC they later on actually invested in AMD to keep them solvent for the same reasons.
Might be also about how they present things. For example in the linked page they have the request for donations in small font and end of the results, but no link to donation page [1]. Edit: and on the donation page the Amazon and PayPal links are not working.

Don't know how they are collecting money in general, but for me it works best when you do this: "Now we have $xxx, but we still need $yyy to do this fairly specific great thing. Please donate!"

> Java 1.8 still has its warts, but are they worth the shift to Scala?

Oh, yes. Few who've had to deal with both a Java 8 and a Scala codebase are going to tell you otherwise. Java 8 is like Scala through blurred glass.

Another thing is that Java 8 is Java++ only now, after many of us have already adopted Scala. In other words, "too little, too late" :)

Regardless, are we discussing whether it's good idea to adopt Scala coming from Java (I think it is!) or whether the transition from Java to Scala is easy? I thought it was the latter, and if so, it's unarguably easier than the transition from Java to Clojure. Scala "looks like" Java in a way Clojure doesn't.
I'm saddened how you'd rather end conversation than change your beliefs.

There are non-opioid choices. I've been through every prescription oral medication. Some are worse than opioids. Gabapentin and its class make me incredibly nauseous before relieving pain. Most just don't touch it (some even started raising my AST and ALT).

That drug can't even be given by IV or IM, can it? I'm a candidate for the intrathecal pain pump, which looks to be the only way the drug you mentioned can be administered. But most doctors have suggested I wait for some clear answers before hooking a drug pump directly up to my spinal cord.

Thanks for mentioning this drug though. I'll ask my pain mgmt doctor about it.

We're you inside a foreign embassy at the time? There are very good reasons that modern embassies often have countermeasures against signals being transmitted into and out of them (including sometimes being constructed as faraday cages), except for those controlled by the government the embassy represents.
Agree with all of your points. I'm simply pointing out that all of these things take time away from my primary mission which is to teach my material.

I need to teach the material as it generally is a building block for what comes later. If I don't get the material across, I've done a bad job as well. If I teach Data Structures, the students need to know that when they come out of my class or they will fail the next classes. (I had to reteach Data Structures to a class that had a bad teacher once before I could teach my material).

And, I applaud your dedication as a TA. People have zero idea how much effort goes into actually teaching a class. As the instructor, teaching a 14-week, 2 2 hour lectures per week class is a greater than 40 hour/week job including planning, constructing projects, running the infrastructure, answering questions, office hours, and grading exams.

That is, sadly, why I don't teach much anymore. I would earn more hourly by working at McDonalds than I do if I lecture at a university. :(
I agree that there is a double standard between the top and the rank-and-file. But not one between Hillary and others in her position.

The Atlantic to Ad Blockers: Pay Up or Leave
So, how do you create benefits that stack like that, without making the game too easy? With a procedural generator, it's difficult to determine what accomplishments will be hard and what will be easy.

There are geometrical properties that let me tune how hard certain combinations will be to find, statistically.

EDIT: Also, almost all benefits will come with some kind of penalty or incompatibility. It will be impossible to build a perfect ship that does everything well. Instead, you will be able to easily build a ship that does one very narrow thing rather well, one thing badly, but generally sucks otherwise. Also, you should be able to make something that does 2 things above average, one thing non-sucky, but otherwise sucks.
