Students get experience with open source. Google gets some mind-share. You get contributions and potential new contributors. Seems like a win-win.
Aircraft generally beat boats in an offensive role. The advantage boats have is the amount of stuff they can take with them. This loses out on the benefits of boats without any real clear benefit over aircraft.

It's important to differentiate the general concept of "Good Enough" as in "that's good enough" from the software engineering approach that, while coined from the same term, is surprisingly more formalized around balancing risk/effort vs. achieving perfection
Stealth != invisible.

Stealth means you show up on radar like a 15ft skiff (in the case of a ship) or a seagull (in the case of aircraft)

In my experience (Austria and UK), lunch break is part of the 8h, i.e. I get to work at 10:00 and leave at 18:00.
You played the Trump card. I see what you did there.

But even in places where you can choose between many parties there's a really strict code that if you have any "Islamophobic" standpoints you will not be accepted by the "correct" parties. So you end up choosing between the one rightwing nutcase party or all the other ones that are in denial. The "cordon sanitaire" is a real thing. The majority of the political parties and seats in parliament reflect the opinion of a minority of the people nowadays.

I still can't vote for people like Le Pen or Wilders because I'm usually more progressive / liberal but I simply cannot and will not blame the people that do.

I want to live in a country where we can make a "Life of Brian" like movie about Muhammed, where women and gay people have equal rights not just in law but also within the community. If a multicultural, progressive society is too complex / modern / intimidating to stand there are plenty of other places to go and build your own life to your own believes.

They're hanging gay people in Saudi Arabia and Iran, I heard they're really welcoming countries and a paradise to live in.

If that's the thing that gets you off, go there.

I've seen an amazing amount of Muslim people just cope fine with Western society over the years so I'm sure it's not Muslims as a group, just the guys that went 11 on the scale of Westboro Baptist Church.
It's neither a lie nor a myth, yet the truth is surprising.

A 2011 study found only 0.1% of student debtors in bankruptcy even apply for discharge of student loans. Yet of that self-selecting group, 40% were successful. The question is why more don't apply for discharge, and how successful they might be.

Regardless, this does show that "student loans are not dischargable in bankruptcy" is generally true, given a discharge rate of only 0.04%.

except speed limits are enforced by police. huge administrative authorities have executive, law making, and judicial power.

The [Federal Trade] Commission promulgates substantive rules of conduct. The Commission then considers whether to authorize investigations into whether the Commission’s rules have been violated. If the Commission authorizes an investigation, the investigation is conducted by the Commission, which reports its findings to the Commission. If the Commission thinks that the Commission’s findings warrant an enforcement action, the Commission issues a complaint. The Commission’s complaint that a Commission rule has been violated is then prosecuted by the Commission and adjudicated by the Commission. This Commission adjudication can either take place before the full Commission or before a semi-autonomous Commission administrative law judge. If the Commission chooses to adjudicate before an administrative law judge rather than before the Commission and the decision is adverse to the Commission, the Commission can appeal to the Commission. If the Commission ultimately finds a violation, then, and only then, the affected private party can appeal to an Article III court. But the agency decision, even before the bona fide Article III tribunal, possesses a very strong presumption of correctness on matters both of fact and of law.

I was particularly amused by the recent attack ads against Clinton, reporting that repressive countries that had the death penalty for homosexuality, etc., supported the Clinton Foundation.

They carefully don't mention the country: That would be the Bushs' Saudi Arabia.

Is this about trump?
I usually confront the student by asking them to speak to me after class in front of the entire class. It's not shaming as in reality no one cares, everyone knows no one cares, and most students in shitty classes do it. There is one class at my university that students cannot pass without old exams. The teacher doesn't rotate questions and doesn't talk about anything on the exams so it's useless to pay attention. It's basically a study/homework session at school that's a given C to B because you know all the questions on the exam.

Everyone cheats in some way. What I am concerned about is disingenuous cheating where a student obviously is preforming poorly in non-adverse conditions and decides to take it upon themselves to rectify the situation in a non-productive manor.
Exploitation of voluntary workers has a long, long history. It's basically the reason why unions came into existence, and employment laws.

For example, in times of high unemployment, I could tell my workers that if they want to keep their jobs, they will work unpaid overtime, or take a pay cut, or give me a blow job, or work without adequate safety gear. These kind of Hobson's choices are real things that really happen.

I frequently see a less explicit exploitation of voluntary workers in companies; when a company encourages a culture of long hours and not taking holidays, they're getting extra hours for free from their voluntary employees (take your holidays, people).
For reference, it is one in a thousand (Chinese population is ~1.4B).
Speaking of FastMail pricing, I don't understand why they wouldn't display their multi-year discounts anywhere on their page (if it's there, I can't find it). You have to have an account to be able to see the discounts. But for those who're interested, the discounts are the following:

The Basic account (normally $30 a year) can be purchased for three years at $80.

The Standard account (normally $50 a year) can be purchased for three years at $130.

The Professional account (normally $90 a year) can be purchased for three years at $230.
hub: the effective center of an activity, region, or network.

You'll need a new word to describe this thing you're looking for. ;)

There's a reason why hubs exist, and it's nothing to do with there being many of them to choose from.
Blaiming all Muslim trouples on the west is simply inaccurate. The west has very little responsibility in Syria for example.

Before the west ever got there, the problems existed.

Also, don't pretend that the countries are not different because of the problems you listed. There is still a major difference in western countries compared to countries run by dictators all around the world. No amount of Trump or Tax evation can change that.

I know its easy to be synical, but lets not throw realism overboard completly.

A better title would be "How to produce a simple LaTeX document in minutes". Or perhaps even "Another brief LaTeX tutorial".

When I first began to use LaTeX long ago, a friend of mine gave me a preamble and essentially told me to not touch it until I knew better. This was very helpful to me, and I immediately began to use LaTeX in a mindset that separated content from presentation. Later, I did know better, but I'd already gotten the gist of what's going on.

Years later, when I introduce LaTeX to others (which I have frequently done), I follow the same starting path.
So I guess it's ok for now at least to stay with gevent ? Does asyncio has any pros (except that it's explicit) compared to gevent ?
Just don't try anything that isn't in your typical math paper. There are thousands of LaTeX packages, because they are all broken if you use them in a slightly unexpected way, so (reminiscent of JavaScript) a new package is created to "fix" it.

Tables? Here you go. Oh, you wanted nested tables? For that you need to switch to an entirely different package. Oh, and that one doesn't support splitting up tables over multiple pages. Maybe this new one can do it. But it doesn't support that other package you use. Maybe try that one instead. Oh, in that one you can't have ...

Or is that just me?
You may not know this but it is an offensive thing to see a student fail or cheat to get out of failure. It's not right to get mad about it but that doesn't change the fact that it does happen.

I try not to get mad and I try to be as objective as possible but after I know for sure it is very disappointing. It's a reflection of my abilities I feel.
I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly there are HDMI splitters that "accidentally" remove HDCP.

> The user reported them to hi-po not because they were 'hacking', but because they intentionally created a dangerous situation on a highway by stalling a car, which could have gotten multiple people killed.

Not due to hacking, but a few weeks ago I had been involved in an accident because a Mercedes SUV randomly shut down in the middle of the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, and I had to stop in a line of cars behind said SUV while the driver behind me didn't stop in time. Luckily no one was killed(one injury, not me, but my car got totaled) but had there been any involvement in their part on something like that, I would've lawyered up and sued Wired.
> Why would such an education have a negative impact on your career?

You've missed the point.

It's not a problem of comparing "with education" Vs "without education".

It's a problem of comparing "with a employable degree that ensures a safe career path" Vs "with an useless and unemployable degree that may even hinder your job prospects".
In the previous few years Liverpool had been very successful by concentrating on possession to the point of working the ball up from the backs rather than hoofing the ball up with a big goalkeeper kick. They were a clear counter-example to this admonition that the way to win was hoof it and chase.

Sounds like "horses for courses" to me [the correct advice varies according to the characteristics of the situation].
His choice of platform for such a story is to blame more than Twitter.

"Supported" means "contributed to the programs that benefit their people"? Remember the Foundation works to form policy in countries to benefit health and general welfare. It is a highly-rated highly-effective organization. That the Foundation can get dictators to contribute money for public health programs for instance, is a tremendous achievement.

I would be careful of trivializing the last point that you made. Things like extremely long design cycles, environmental requirements, expectations of value-add engineering services, product lifetimes etc. make the auto market different in significant ways from consumer electronics. If you're a company like NXP, these are core competencies. If you are oriented towards consumer market, these are annoyances as best and serious cultural challenges at worst.
I've been using it home, because I have a magic keyboard at work but I'll probably get another one to use there as well; it's that good.
I think I've made the point a few times that I don't like this style of programming at all, because the coroutine layer turns into an Inner Platform [1] replicating all the control-flow structures the original language has, which then has to integrate with the original language which causes more than twice the complexity to emerge. But it's hard to bash together an example of how that happens in a comment, when it's all faked up and easy to dismiss. This is a great example of the complexity that can emerge. Some of that is incidental and will be fixed in future releases, but some of that is pretty fundamental, such as the initial list of all the sorts of things you need to learn about to use asyncio. Languages like Erlang or Go that have the event loop simply embedded into the language from day one have a much shorter list of such things you have to know, and it does all the things that this complicated list of asyncio concepts do.

But I will also admit some of this complexity is definitely Python-specific. I've been using Python since 1.5.2 was still the version you'd be most likely to encounter and I've liked it as a language for a while, but one release at a time, the language has been getting more and more complicated. By the time asyncio came around, the language was quite complicated, and sticking asyncio on top while integrating it with everything else is really a mess. Python has too darned many features at this point. I don't know exactly when it jumped the shark feature-wise, because individually they all make sense, but the sum total has gotten quite unwieldy. Watching new programmers try to learn Python, a language I used to suggest to such people as a good language to start with, has been a bit dispiriting lately.

The author explains why we get drawn into good writing about topics we don't care about. Has some great examples in it too.
So what you're saying 1) is that British Muslims are more liberal about homosexuality than the general British public was in the 60s, and probably exactly the same as British evangelical Christians, 2) that French and Belgian Muslims register far less support for ISIS than relatively liberal Qatar, and 3) that nearly 2/3rds of young British Muslims have rejected basic tenets of their religion as symbolic or metaphorical.

I'd like to see those same polls on evangelical Christians, or frum Jews, or again the general British public in 1966.

Not much, i.e. there's no no enforcement of the law in practice.

Having said that it's not that difficult to find jobs where the 8h day is generally followed, and work/life balance in general is not bad.

Edit: to clarify a question that appears in other comments, those 8h do not include the lunch break, which is 1h.
I'm explaining it through logic because statistical correlation is especially complicated and difficult to tease out in social science. You can't take a snapshot of one city, pre and post minimum wage and definitely conclude that the change (or lack of change) in unemployment is due to the minimum wage. Here's a few things to consider:

There are more people being paid under minimum wage than there are being paid minimum wage [0]. The unemployment effect of a price floor could be partially offset by a larger number of people being pushed to below-minimum wage jobs (presumably under-the-table). The minimum wage isn't changed randomly, often hire minimum wages get imposed on higher income cities. There are other factors that happened between pre-min wage increase and post-min wage increase. Expectations of wage increases are often implied in current conditions. For instance, if you do that math that you can open a business and make 10% profit margin with 50% of your expenses coming from min wage labor, you would know that your profit margin is complete wiped out with a 20% increase in labor cost. You know that it is likely that min wage will go up rather soon, you will not bother opening the business. And so on...

In your corn example, sure, we don't know what would happen if a price floor of corn at $10 were mandated (assuming the market price is less than $10). But I think we can be pretty certain that the amount of corn demanded would drop. Similarly, at a price ceiling below the market price, the quantity demanded will rise, although the quantity supplied will drop, causing a shortage. Look at Venezuela where price ceilings exist for many products.

Again, I've never caught a student who didn't admit to it. Those who have apologize and restore credit.

The student is usually happier to have that it seems since they get to say "I fought the law and the law didn't win" to their friends and classmates. The teacher does look like an idiot to the class after that though.

It may well come a time when I make the same mistake but at that point I'll be excited to admit I was wrong and restore credit. I'm not ashamed at failing myself, only know-it-all-do-nothings are afraid of ruining their street cred.
In my opinion, tech hubs need:

* Open minded culture

* Top research facilities (i.e. Multiple top universities)

* Low cost of living, high quality of life

* Large customer markets

Just because Libson has a low cost of living doesn't mean it will take off. The cost of living is low in lots of South American Cities. Does that mean they will all be the next San Fran?

I've been using Macs for less than most of you - only 3 years.

However, in that time I have become used to the keyboard shortcuts that come with OSX - CMD + Q for closing _any_ program, copy/paste/cut/etc all using CMD vs CTRL. These have turned out to be _much_ better than what's offered on Windows.

The few times I've grown curious again to try Windows 10, the keyboard shortcuts are absolutely the main reason I jump back to OSX. The terminal can be emulated, there's usually programs on Windows that match what I use on OSX, but the shortcuts, I have been unable to figure that out.

Any tips?

Please don't spread the idea that its all funded by the west. Local actors are the most imporant players, not the global powers.

The war in Syria and Iraq is financed by a hole variaty of countries, organisation and people. ISIS gets money not from Saudi Arabia but by taxation.

I have also stopped reading mainstream media on these subjects. Fortunatly you can still find experts on these subjects, writting articals, blogpost or give talks.
What a horrible article, and the researcher isn't exactly helping clear up the confusion either.

Code injection (step 2) isn't a security concern, malware running code on your system (step 1) is. Of course antivirus fail at preventing step 1, so they cobble together more heuristics to prevent step 2.

In the process, they alert people about Fraps or Steam, which all use code injection for perfectly legitimate purposes.
Do Catholics believe that definition of faith you quoted because it first appeared in their catechism or because their catechism quotes it from Hebrews 11?

And if it is original to Hebrews 11, then what does the phrase "assurance of things hoped for" mean in context if it does not have the same sense as 1 Corinthians 15 or Luke 1?

When you speak of "an impossible event", what do you mean exactly?

And when you say "impossible", then according to what logic?

Are you saying that it is impossible for God (should he exist) to raise the dead?

Are you saying that it is impossible for the dead to be raised because you presuppose that God does not exist?

Or are you saying that it is impossible in the sense that we have very few occurrences of such an event and therefore it must be impossible?
I feel you.

Having worked with it a bit more I'd say that these things will work out as time goes on. Currently there is quite a bit of fragmentation of async-solutions in Python that are often somewhat-but-not-fully compatible; the docs need a lot of love as well. While the reference in itself is okay, cross-references and conceptual docs (the latter being extremely important IMHO) are lackluster or non-existent.

Also there seems to be a lot of confusion caused by the lack of docs around the difference of the keywords and the "asyncio" module (and it's various other forms). The former is just a coroutine / suspension engine and has relatively little to do with asyncio.

---

Specifically your last request: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio....

It is inherently somewhat limited by requiring the same underlying loop. But this is hard to change on a principal level...

---

In a broader sense, I like the increased visibility this gives to async APIs; with the "old ways" this could be easily overlooked. Since good API design is even more important in an asynch piece of software than in a sync piece of software I feel like this is quite an advantage, avoiding bugs and highlighting API issues directly.

With the old way, for example, it was relatively easy to confuse a synchronous method and a coroutine, since it's completely silent. You'd only notice this when stuff doesn't happen that was supposed to happen, and you can only see the bug at the call site if you know whether it's a method or a coroutine. This can't happen with the new keywords anymore. I think this is arguably their greatest advantage.

I get your point, but you're really exaggerating the difficulty of changing margins, paragraph spacing, and similar things. It's easy with straight LaTeX, and even easier with the "geometry" package.
