English in India is more dense than the feudal castes of medieval Europe; hardly a professional thing this.

The Human-rights wallahs don't complain precisely because the current state of affairs benefits the nations that control them; much as it does their native retainers.

> It does nowhere state that you can sanction a country without breach of fundamental laws like basic human rights.

Actually, "the risk of a breach" is sufficient. And given that the UK openly promotes xenophobia and racist attacks are on the rise and have been since the Referendum...

Do not expect Europe to play fairly when the UK decides to play dirty, e.g. by trying to actively damage EU member states while being an EU member state..

> And the most you could do with this Article is take the UK's voting rights.

Actually, the EU can take it all, including voting rights.

> I'm sure the UK can come up with ways to punish the EU into submission without breaching any laws.

And I am sure the EU can very easily destroy the UK's economy for the next few decades without much effort, should the need arise. All they need to do is to invoke trading sanctions with any non-EU state that trades with the EU. Let's see if China or the US would rather trade with 40-odd million Britons, or 500 Million EU citizens.

Aka. "the trantruming toddler in the supermarket" - it doesn't work.

I agree - and it will cost the UK dearly. After fourty years of special deals with London, the EU is fed up.
I just found:

- https://github.com/timeoff-management/application
A list is made. Some items are starred. Other items might be double starred, or marked in different ways. An estimate is made for the time each item will take. Eventually, items get crossed off, or 'commented out'.

I do this all in a text file. It works great. I used to delete completed items, but I found it robbed me of a sense of accomplishment I kinda value. If I don't finish the list (which happens often), at least I know what I didn't do, and have a good idea why I decided I didn't feel like it.

Of course, now I have a folder with 12 mostly-completed lists, the last items on which I keep dodging. There are no perfect answers in the continuing battle with one's self. Honestly, this app looks pretty cool, and if I was younger and more optimistic, I'd probably give it a go. I just feel like I know myself well enough (or have accepted my many faults enough) at this point that I'm pretty sure it wouldn't get me to do much more than I already am.
I've never heard that expression, what does it mean?
I don't think they stick to Mandarin because they want to. English is considered hip and intellectual in China, especially in the first tier cities which I suppose the developers of such modern technology are. But the problem is that English is really, really hard for Chinese native speakers, since grammar, words, culture and pronunciation are so different from all the Chinese languages.

So as a team leader or project manager in China I would probably also stick with Chinese since it is much easier to find really good and not too expensive employees that way. Let them try to use English, support the ambition, but don't enforce it.

And I don't know much about India but from what I heard is that it is more a cultural issue that India lacks behind. Everything is (so I heard) still very traditional and backward focussed. While China as a country spent 20-30 years to become more open for new ideas and approaches. How true is that from other people's perspective here?
Xiaomi unveils concept phone with near bezel-less display
Maybe both kinds of comments are being downvoted by those of us who like technical conversations not to be full of people bitching about other people's choice of language. I don't find that strange at all.
From what I understand, C++ can do anything! But sadly, it lets you do anything.

Haskell restricts what you can do hugely. But also lets you accomplish a whole lot within what it thinks of as safety.

I like Haskell - but think it's really just a playground for trying how far functional purity can be pushed, rather than being the actual best version of that paradigm.

Probably in 10-20 years time there will be a language around which takes all those concepts and comes together as a really pleasant unsurprising friendly developer experience. Maybe it'll come from slow evolution of Haskell... stack helps a lot, and a whole bunch of GHC extensions... but it's still got a lot of very impractical elements and hangovers from the past that really need to go.
Awesome story! I'm interested in hear more about the time you spent learning non-programming fundamentals. Would you care to elaborate?

HTML/CSS are slow. The true way is ".txt"

Edit: I mean this as a sort of lazy way of making a reductio. I don't think .txt is better than HTML/CSS for pages (and I hope that's obvious). I also don't think having no JS is a good idea.

I believe in progressive enhancement, and to a first approximation, I think that all websites have at least one feature that they could implement in JS that would be "a good thing".
Hypothetically, yes, but these kinds of choices are rarely so binary. For example, we have an opioid/heroin crisis that killed 40,000 people in 2014, driven
in no small part by the erosion of meaningful economic opportunity for lower class whites. How much will this problem be multipled by growing automation?
For those of you, who are new to Microsoft Universe, i would suggest taking a look at F#. While i think that C# is the best imperative language, F# will change the way you think about software development.

The magnitude of the sonic boom is not relative to mass. It is relative to the altitude and to the speed of the aircraft, and the duration and maximum amplitude of the shock wave are dependent on the shape of the aircraft.

You may have misread an article describing pounds-per-square-foot as a measure of sonic boom intensity. This measurement is not about the mass or density of the aircraft relative to its area, this is the change in air pressure at the ground caused by the sound wave.

Even if only the developers can use a DSL, that doesn't not mean DSLs don't have a place as a solution and that a generic programming language is always preferable.

In complex enough domains DSLs can be key to tackle that complexity and they can take many forms.
Article mentions the driver was hanging out in the sleeper cab. Long term them may be able to sleep or completely tune out in the back, but for now it was a stunt. I bet there were clear instructions on the driver's behavior. The article mentioned a "police cruiser in tow", but from pictures its not clear where or what function they played. For all we know, the police ensured no one came within 200ft in front or back, and the driver was told to take the wheel as soon as a car violated this zone. This is all hypothetical... but you can see how with coordinated effort they can set the scenario for safety.
> What's the staging area? It's essentially a commit-in-progress

Aha, that's where the typical view of VCSes shows through the cracks of our old habits: here commit is not an object, it's an action. So there's no "commit-in-progress" because either you commit or you don't, and the operation is virtually atomic. The fact that object with badcafe sha1 records the history of that action and is called "commit badcafe" in the log is incidental, and we're being abusive when we're literally saying the commit is the object.

So when you say git commit --amend, it's really no different than git commit, because you're just telling it to do the very same thing, only with a git reset HEAD^ before that.

That said, I'll readily admit the UI is poor, mostly because it's grown, not designed.
"Can you recommend any references for a non-economist to learn about this theory?"

It's not a theory, it's armchair cynicism.

Some high growth startups are kind of like Ponzi schemes, in the sense that some investors know they won't ever get to the full valuation needed to justify the investment - but that someone down the line, after the IPO will be left 'holding the bag', but the economy itself is not a 'ponzi scheme'.
No, that's not a valid conclusion. Browsers do not query log servers in real-time whenever they see a new certificate. Rather, servers send SCTs which are "a promise to add the certificate to the log within some time period"[1]. Comparatively speaking, think of this more like OCSP stapling as opposed to real-time OCSP queries.

Auditors and CT gossiping are responsible for ensuring that the log servers are not misbehaving.

This looks interesting, but how does it deal with tasks that don't have an expected finish time?

Eg, what i like about Pomodoro is that i am not planning anything more. I simply chug away at my (hopefully micro optimized) task list, and take breaks when the Pomodoro says so.

This looks nifty, but i have no clue how long most of my tasks are going to take. Limiting them to 25m or w/e seems like it would induce more stress and uncertainty.

I assume i have the product slightly wrong. Thoughts?

> From previous statements, I believe WoSign's plan is to resell another CA's certificates during the period that they don't have a root of their own in the trust store.

or find/buy another currently trusted CA that cross-signs their new root. I'm sure they can find somebody.

My guess: take jazz fans on one hand, and Justin Bieber groupies on the other hand. The jazz fans would in general appreciate way more the DW service than the Justin Bieber ones. Why so? Because the 'vector' that describes a jazz fan's playlist is probably much more specific and 'unique' than the vector of an heavily standardised MTV-based playlist. Everyone gets the recommendations they deserve...

So, do there exist any IP cameras that are simple, secure and don't open a crazy number of ports for bizarre, unnecessary protocols whilst including a steaming pile of PHP (or similar) to provide a buggy, over-engineered, exploit-ridden web interface?

I could do with some for a farm project at the moment, but as far as I can tell, they're uniformly awful. Are there any that are reflashable with something more respectable, even?

If you read people's comments carefully, I think you'll find that almost no one is proposing to stall self-driving trucks for the sake of jobs.

But it does raise questions about worker displacement that are very interesting, and not just from a social-justice-warrior brigading perspective. I imagine this will happen much faster than the textile industry changed. Am I wrong there? That alone makes it fascinating.
The thing that put apple products above and beyond other products that were the same was marketing. Apple is great at creating hype.

I agree. This really makes me think of XSLT and all of the horrors that go along with it in real world usage. Maybe I'm not seeing the bigger picture but I don't really know how/where JsonLogic would be used and why it would be a better alternative than a programming language. Are there any examples that might clear it up for me? The linked site is documentation for the language but it's not helping me understand the need for this project.
In addition, you get to learn a lot of best practices from the trainers at PluralSight. If there were a similar company in the non Microsoft world with as comprehensive a library and as good a selection of trainers, I would love to know about it.

Also, check out their learning paths for C# - it can be a good option to avoid the overwhelm if you are new to the language.
The fact that we're even talking about "Discover Weekly" means it's a huge success. That it doesn't work for everybody is another matter.

I've switched to Google Music. Although that has its own set of problems, I find it has better (or more dynamic) machine learning implemented for playlists and discovery mechanics. You can even reset the information it has learned from, and start over if you wish.

Making Google listen to change-requests (in one of their not-so-prioritized) products will of course not be likely either.
The place I take my old oil to they are happy to get it because they sell it. I figure since I'm going to have to take it to them anyway, I might as well let them do it all.
If it would, use Chromium and monitors you trust.

If Google's own monitors would miss critical events that others didn't, they'd be blamed and shamed.

If they didn't share knowledge of critical events which other monitors for whatever reason couldn't detect, they'd be attacked in media.

The most plausible outcome is that all major monitors will share data openly. There's no point with a public certificate transparency scheme if they don't.

As for the security (ability to report on critical events) of individual monitors, you have to read up on the guarantees that the CT logs can provide.

If truck driving is already a high turnover job, there won't be displacement of a nature that gets political attention. Firms just won't hire new truckers to replace the ones that leave. Trucking will be in transition a long time. The first self driving trucks will be fully attended. Then maybe they are unattended, but only on highways. Self driving in the city is likely years away.

This wouldn't be like shutting a factory or mine where people have worked for years and where they hoped to retire from. By the same token, you see self checkout machines everywhere, parking garages without manned booths, automatic toll roads, self-serve kiosks at restaurants, and self-serve gas with pay at the pump. No one ever paid any attention to displacement from those jobs because they are high turnover anyway.

You can't determine whether or not someone is poor by looking at their income in isolation. It depends on the cost of living - if paying for food and shelter costs as much as, or more than, you earn then you are poor. If your income has doubled in the past decade but the cost of housing has tripled then you are poorer despite earning twice as much.
How do you check that? (How do I check that?)
Here is the scheme which I am thinking may better link timekeeping to biological clocks:

A day is defined as sunrise to sundown.
A night is defined as sundown to sunrise.

Every day consists of 12 hours.
Every night consists of 12 hours.
Each hour consists of 60 minutes.
Each minute consists of 60 seconds.

There are always 60*60*12 = 43,200 seconds each day and night.
Within a given day or night every second is of equal length.*

On the equinox (length of day = length of night) we will have a "base unit" s0.
At times/places when there is more daylight than that, the duration of a second
during the day s_d > s0 and during the night s_n < s0.

*It may be better to continuously vary the duration of a second so there
is not a sudden change at sundown/sunup. It can perhaps be linked to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_zenith_angle. I think the Egyptians used
to use Sirius at night for this, but don't remember where I heard that.
Anyway now we can always be monitoring the position of the sun even when we
cannot see it at the moment.

The second part of what I am suggesting is there may be aesthetic or health benefits to varying periodic phenomenon along with the relative duration of a second. So if frequency is f = cycles/sec and we want to maintain the same numerical value, the f/f0 should scale with s_d/s0 and s_n/s0 (or just s/s0 if we are continuously varying it). Consider if f0 = 432 is ideal at the equinox, and we are wondering about f = 440. I would say that we look for when/where s = 440/432 x s0 x k. Setting the scaling constant k =1 and using an R package that in turn uses noaa sunrise/sunset data[1], I got 3/26/2016 at + 18 degrees latitude. You could do the same calculation in reverse from a given time/latitude to choose a preferred frequency.

Q and KDB(+) are written on top of K. The version of K which is currently commercially available from Kx Systems is K4, and it comes "hidden" within the kdb+ executable. The company I presently work for uses a customized build of K3. My interpreter targets K5/K6, the bleeding-edge release.

edit: If you can get past your initial reaction to the unfamiliarity of the syntax, consider giving K an honest shot. You might find you like it.
Browsers will make their own policies regarding which log servers they'll trust, similar to the CA system. Google's policy for log server operators is documented here[1] and is fairly strict - a number of third-party log servers have been removed in the past due to non-compliance. Chrome's policy for what they consider a "CT qualified" certificate can be found here[2] and asks for SCTs from at least one Google and non-Google-operated log server.
