I am the Enterprise Admin...that's what I'm confused about, since I already went through their simple 3 steps to get started video which was essentially just flipping a switch in the Office 365 Admin area. I expected it to work right away, but then couldn't see where the actual main page for Teams was, so I kept on looking and eventually found it, but even so, it didn't seem to allow me to login yet...right now I'm chalking it up to them not being fully ready for everyone to use it.

Well for anecdotal evidence we've got two people with (multiple) vapers in our office and they totally use them at their desk. Only annoying bit is the permanent noise of using them. It seems less distracting overall to me than people running around for smoke breaks all the time.
In general, the versions of Rust end up being most of them, rather than being pinned to one specific version.

As my sibling mentions, if LLVM can target it, then we can, but generally anything < 32 bits isn't gonna work at the moment. We're slowly getting support for some of that stuff.

ISRO salaries are extremely low compared to NASA's (or any engineer in the US). Indian government positions do offer more "benefits" but it still does not add up to nearly half of what an average NASA engineer's salary. You also have to take into account that what ISRO puts into space versus NASA is very different (due to budgeting and that the ISRO has become more active recently).

This is a pretty good article and worth a read for people who are not already informed.

They were not completely correct. They seem to underestimate the stability and staying power of Jordan. Both US and Israel help to make sure that Jordan is protected. Stability of monarchies are typically underestimated.

Syria's government has not fallen, and Nusra (now Jabhat Fateh al-Sham) never managed to unify the rebel to any great extend and build a real powerful land and tax base. Thanks to Russia and Iran Syria is (very) slowly winning the fight against the rebels.

Looking from Saudi Arabia into Yemen we see as somewhat different picture now. Al Qaeda has a solid branch in Yemen but they have been very much infused into the culture and politics of the region. They lack real reach and hitting power for global jihad. They are to busy marrying tribal chiefs daughters and smuggling (mostly gas).

The real issue for the Saudis in Yemen is not Al-Qaeda (who are in the South) but rather the Hutti rebels that live right along the border to Saudi Arabia. These guys have been extremely successful and Saudi Arabia does not like it at all, they are spending Billions to fight them, much more then they spend to fight Al-Qaeda in Yemen.

They seem to view the Hutti mostly as a Iranian Proxy (maybe future proxy) even while the evidence for this is currently rather thin. The Hutti seem to want Iranian support but the Iranians seem to think that even without much direct support the Hutti are already doing a good job. Saudia Arabia is spending money like nobody buissness and the Iranians handle the same conflict with a tight budget.

Its the other way around in Iraq/Syria, there Iran is blowing the money and the Saudis can be rather conservative.

One interesting thing for everybody to know is also the strong decentralisation of Al-Quida, groups like ISIS and al-Sham (Nusra) do their own thing now. Al-Quida in Yemen is also not a very good branch of Al-Quida central.

A couple of jobs ago, I worked at a company that did a ton of SQL and we used right justified keywords, which looks like:

select t1.col1,
t2.col2,
t3.col3
from table1 t1
join table2 t2 on t1.col2 = t2.col1
join table3 t3 on t1.col3 = t3.col1
and t3.col2 = something_else
where t1.col1 > 0
and t2.col2 <> t1.col4
order by col2
limit 100

Initially it seemed weird to see the ragged left edge, but over time I got used to it and grew to prefer it. It doesn't really hold up for extremely complex queries with lots of subqueries because everything tends to start drifting too far to the right (unrealistic example below):

select *
from blah b
where b.whatever in (
select blah
from c
where c.whatever = in (
select blah
from d
where d.whatever = 'foo'
)
)

I almost never see this style used these days, and I was curious if anyone else does it this way?
Uh what about the Forward Policy that directly lead to the 1962 Sino Indian war?

Hum.. SQL is a "mathematically pure" language, like Lisp or, to a smaller extent, Haskell. Those tend to not attract criticism (mostly because they age slowly, but also because the most vocal language critics are biased towards them).

SQL is also a standardized language. People tend to see those as something you should deal with, not something you should improve. Thus less criticism.

It's also a language that is mostly embedded inside others. So any weakness is easy to compensate on the outer code.

Besides this, it is a pretty well designed language.
Is that an average commute for the average commuter?

If not, sounds like they, too, are simply mega commuters.

Visual Studio Code rolls back to 1.6.1 due to bug in IntelliSense
To answer the question "why use your own microwave network?" the author provides 2 reasons:

> The first reason is somewhat obvious; if you have your own network connection, it's usually easier to guarantee things like security, quality of service, bandwidth, and other factors that businesses value highly. The second reason, as we've already alluded to, is that microwave networks—somewhat surprisingly—can have lower latency than fibre. With some advanced networks, that latency is only a few microseconds slower than the speed of light. Fibre can be pretty quick over short stretches, but it soon starts lagging over longer distances, such as between two stock exchanges or a multinational's offices.

The 1st reason is really off the mark. We know how to securely transmit data over insecure networks, and quality of service and bandwidth can be better handled by service contracts with the network provider. He states "other factors that businesses value highly" which is vague but could possibly be interpreted to include competitive advantages - yet cannot in light of the fact that the 2nd point addresses competitive advantages. By owning the fastest microwave network, you can execute faster than your competitors and directly use that for monetary advantage. So his 1st reason is completely waste of space.
What draws you to St. Paul?

It always felt more "town" than "suburb" - and certainly it's a river hop from "city".
There are more factors than that - a lot of good developers will bail if there is not progress made on updating the frontend stack, especially if the technology is outdated/problematic to work with.

In addition, it becomes harder to hire if the technology is too far behind. It often is an indicator that the company doesn't invest enough into engineering because they let their state fall into not up to date codebases. This results in vastly increased recruiting costs, time lost, and decreased quality of life for those who stay.

It's not as simple as a direct calculation. It's very misleading to assume that one can simply shift resources into product feature development and not necessarily incur tradeoffs.

California's state and local governments are probably unable to solve these problems. The legal structure, rather than supporting a solution, seems to actually make these problems quite likely.

I suspect that, in a democracy which places an emphasis on freedom of career choice, free rights of personal movement (from pretty much anywhere to pretty much anywhere else), essentially unregulated road and highway access, the high cost of infrastructure creation and maintenance, the high cost of government workers, combined with relatively strong individual property rights -- gridlock and skyrocketing housing costs are truly unavoidable.

Acrolein forms above 280 celsius, which is well beyond what the average vaporizer will be set for (from under 200 to around 260).

Out of curiosity, I tried this instead of going back on caffeine. I got the lowest-dose gum, cut a piece into tiny fractions, and still found it too intense. I don't know if was just my metabolism or if smokers have all just built up a big tolerance, but it was definitely not for me.

Maybe that's all Californians know. It's normal out here. I put in an offer on a home that received 45 other written offers, 1/4 of them all-cash and above asking price. If you're financing, you need to go much higher than 25% above asking. It's insanity. Then we go move to different parts of the country and forget that you don't need that aggressive approach everywhere.

I lived in Rochester for 5 years. I remember 6 months of gray slate skies where the clouds are low to the ground in an almost claustrophobic way. Summers were humid. It not as hot as other areas. Rochester is cheap though and has good schools. It's a good place to raise a family if you can live with the weather, the provincial nature of the town, and its comparative geographical isolation. Also flights in and out used to be quite expensive too.
Yes, that is correct. My question was about using the R programming language and its libraries rather than RStudio.

If you create a program that uses any of the GPL licensed R libraries, that program must also be GPL licensed [1].

Additionally, the GPL license prohibits using GPL licensed software in proprietary systems [2].

Great idea but way too late in this case. And, at least in this area, urban planning is a moving target since there is no single authority that can move all of the pieces.

For example, a city can zone land to be high density residential but that doesn't necessarily mean that people who live there will sell their low density houses so that they can be redeveloped.

A high density area can "want" a public transit station, but the transit authority may not have the funds, or the motivation to give them a station. And there is no means for a city government for "force" them to.

Instead, we're left with the "master plan" system which is a living document that the city government maintains which expresses a "vision" of what the city would like (their plans) and the city council signs up to help make it real when there is something within their powers to do to help it.[1]

A previous example of how hard that can be is the "Coyote Valley" area in South San Jose that was going to be "anchored" in part by large campuses of big employers (Cisco was the headline client). But the dot com crash hit and Cisco never moved in.

A current example is the new Apple "spaceship" campus in Cupertino which is to far away from the train station and
in a set of roads that don't easily feed or drain to the 280 interstate.
[1] And part of that is the problem in Sunnyvale, the plan says one thing, and when councilmembers have voted to help implement it, it has irritated citizens who didn't realize that was what the plan said.
Exactly. This is exactly the problem. In the 50's congress was made up of Engineers today its made up of attorneys.

So back in the day, perhaps over a decade ago, I remember stumbling upon a textfile that was along the lines of "interesting IP addresses on the net" (does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't find it since.) and one of them was a very curious telnet console that had all sorts of settings. Googling the terms, it looked like it was the control panel for a microwave antenna. I was too scared to mess with it though. I only remember exploring through the menu options. I never figured out where it was or what it did, but I remember it was surprising to me at the time that standalone hardware would have a telnet terminal.

Drugs are not prevalent in the porn industry? Are you kidding? I have never read a piece on a porn star where their drug use wasn't mentioned. How do you think most of them cope with their "career" and the "fame"?

Yes, porn stars do get tested for STDs regularly which I believe is generally twice a month. What about the period in between tests? You don't know who they just fucked yesterday or earlier that day.

You must realize for every porn star who has had a long career there are 50 who lasted a minute. There are reasons for that... Yes, many just can't hack it but drug use and STDs are high on the list.

Porn stars are nasty... Period.
You are describing the wrong group of people. The "emotionally justify giving up" you describe is precisely what we observe with the group of people who are not considered failures for doing so: women. For men, that is failure. That is not easy to justify emotionally, it is the very thing they are trying to avoid in the first place. The emotional toll of giving up is the same as the emotional toll of trying and failing: you are a loser and not a real man, you have no worth or value. This is why they try again, because it gives them another chance to succeed, and demonstrate their value and worth.
"become more human" bothers me. First of all, you're either human or not. It a binary thing. Hopefully I don't have to explain that on this site. Maybe you could use that when talking about computers "becoming more human" or perhaps an embryo "becoming more human" as it develops in the wound. But I think we can assume the poster is a fully developed "human".

And according to his/her question. He's just looking for ideas for some cool things to do with his/her time off.

It's so vague. Maybe the phrase you're looking for is it "broadens your perspective". Maybe something else.

The notion that the Syrian Revolution began with foreign (especially US) meddling is absurd.

In 2011, the US was in the process of normalizing relations with the assad regime. Obama had appointed a new ambassador the year before. Clinton thought assad was a 'reformer.'

The war broke out for a very simple reason: assad's forces kept shooting peaceful protesters.

Despite assad's violence, the Revolution remained largely peaceful for several months. It became a full-blown war almost a year after it began, when it became clear assad was not interested in reform, much less stopping the killings.

But the disadvantage is that you don't immediately see whether it is "and", "or" or something else.

That's why in most programming languages the coding style says you should put the operators at start of line instead of end of line, e.g.

GOOD:

if ((...some_condition_that_may_make_sense...)
&& (...some_other_condition...)
&& (...and_yet_some_condition_that_makes_sense...))

x = ((some expresssion)
+ (some other expression of different length)
- (some final expression))

BAD:

if ((...some_condition_that_may_make_sense...) &&
(...some_other_condition...) &&
(...and_yet_some_condition_that_makes_sense...))

x = ((some expresssion) +
(some other expression of different length) -
(some final expression))

Examples:

I can't imagine that much will change even if they stopped enforcing the Reinheitsgebot all together. Most breweries will probably just continue the way they always did and try out some new products in addition to that. If there is one constant in Germany, it's beer.

It's not about pretending they're healthy, it's about not pretending like they're anywhere near as terrible as smoking tobacco, which is terrible. The argument seems to be "they both involve inhaling and exhaling something that isn't air, so they're both equally bad."

Personally I think it's mainly to do with the optics of it. As a society we've spent all kinds of money and effort to stop smoking, and it's now heavily stigmatized. So to see something come around that appears similar to smoking seems to drive a lot of people nuts.
