This has been my observation as well, having attending such events off and on over the years as I moved between cities. The more extroverted people connected with each other and were never to be seen again after one or two events, leaving the shy/awkward around as regulars.

In bigger cities, though, there's a constant influx of new arrivals so it's not so bad.
At my company we created an auto loading video that all the devs agreed was terrible. It was compared, statistically, to one that didn't auto play. Sure, 10% of users left immediately, killing traffic, but revenue increased more than the traffic dipped. It's still auto playing on that page.

I agree that browser makers should fix this. It should probably behave like the location API and be remembered by domain or something.

This happened to Flash in IE I think about 10 years ago. Every flash animation on the page had a some form of 'click to play' cta.

I find that pages that have sound more annoying than video, but isn't a major problem for me as I have headphones plugged in permanently.

I think I would prefer such a feature request as a user option, like a permission request. This is how popup windows, full screen, taking control of the cursor behaves.

I do worry about the data usage on mobile though with autoplaying videos. Even pausing them doesn't stop it from fetching more in the buffer.

I suspect there may be some valid use cases for autoplaying (such as background looping videos, YouTube, etc), particularly when run in some type of kiosk mode on a TV. It's another example of where some spoil the experience and the behaviour of the web ends up getting locked down to stop them.
> If the left could openly discuss the relationship between islam and terrorism, the negative impacts of certain equal opportunity laws on the minorities they are trying to benefit, the conflict between gender pronoun legislation and free speech, etc. then the party itself would be on big path for improvement.

That any of this made a difference is the fantasy of a right that got 60 million votes this election, 60 million votes in the last, and 60 million in the one before that. Democrats lost because they hitched their wagon to megadonors and didn't deliver on their promises to working people. They lost their own base, one that gave 72 million votes to a black man with a Arabic/Kenyan name who openly and aggressively advocated for the opposite of what you think (white) people crave.

This election was not a victory for /pol/, it was yet another rejection of Clinton. Not only did Trump get fewer votes than Clinton, I think he got fewer votes that Romney and McCain, too.
Yes, C++ is the language of video games. Often they use a different language for game scripting (game logic and a lot of AI), but it's mostly C++ as far as the core parts go; engine systems, renderer, etc. While most tend to use third party libraries for sound and physics, they too are mostly written in C++.
You can use xargs for parallel remote execution too. In the simplest case:

Really? I find they at least know JavaScript, git and a framework or two. Are you one of those academic interviewers asking questions about stuff people would never use in their jobs?
Most experienced C++ programmers just put up with it, they really want to be using something else, but have lacked, and continue to lack options.

If you are experienced, however, it's not difficult to find work. Video games. Space, aerospace, automotive, and military industry. IoT. Wherever you can imagine heavily constrained embedded systems. Or in the case of games, where you have 16.67 milliseconds to render a frame.

I'm from Christchurch, contacted family there. There's been mass evacuations from the coastline. Tsunami's have started but they can last for hours. Kaikoura has already had a a surge measured 2.5m, if this is the case the waves will get worse before they get better. But NZ is pretty prepared for these things, so hopefully everyone scampers to the safe distance from the coastline. I worry about the Chatham Islands, they're directly east of the epicentre, and Tsunami's travel very fast. I hope they've all gotten to high ground.

It's hard to overstate how social smoking is. You have a lot of spontaneous interactions bumming cigarettes to and from people. You get to know all the other smokers in your apartment building or office building. You coordinate smoke breaks with your coworkers or other people in your building, they're a great excuse to get away from your desk and bullshit for 10 minutes.

I would reckon smokers are far less likely to stare into their phones when they're outside smoking than most people.

It's extremely simple. It's too simple for modern use, given that it doesn't have 16 or 32 bit instructions and lack mul/div etc., and doesn't have a decent sized stack, but for a small system like the C64 the simplicity was great - it was easy to learn, and for things like demo programming it's easy enough that you can quickly learn to remember how many cycles each instruction + addressing mode takes.
Care to back that up with any data, links, etc? It seems like you are saying that the freedom to speak about and openly discuss problems is not the most effective way for a society to learn about, discuss, and solve its own problems, but that by explicity silencing anything not conforming to vague and malleable rules of "political correctness" a more optimal or equi-optimal system can be achieved.

My question here is genuine, it doesn't follow immediately for me that what you say is true and seems counterintuitive to my knowledge base, so I would welcome any data backing up your statements (I can read Danish too, if that helps).
Where's the Github/Gitlab repo?
Those are not the most important issues of the moment to anyone but white fanatics. The idea that one of the most important issues is black people marching, and that it it is on a par with Islamic terrorism (although the chances of even that affecting any particular citizen in any way are infinitesimal) is absurd.

Bridges are falling apart, health care costs are rising out of control, with the loss of the manufacturing sector there are no jobs for people who haven't gone to college, the country is out of its mind on oxycodone, and you're worried about black people walking. Unbelievably elitist attitude.
Cross-posting from my FB feed:

Here's some of the interesting stuff I've found on the internet about today's earthquake (that they're now calling a 7.8):

1) real-time Buoy data, for helping to determine the likelihood of a Tsunami: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/
Interestingly, the quake only caused a tiny change in the sea level (in the region of 5 cm's) but the expected swells on land are in the region of 3-5 meters. I believe this is because as the wave gets closer to land, it get's funneled into a smaller area, meaning the 5cm change in sea level gets amplified. Which is why it's hard for the civil service to accurately predict whether a tsunami is likely when these events occur (That, and the nearest working buoy is in Tonga), which would by why they almost always say yes, and then retract the warning later.

2) the USGS science-y explanation for what actually happened. The take-away seems to be that this may have increased the stress on the primary fault in NZ. Interestingly, their's a a suggestion that the rupture was across the hope fault, rather than along it, which helps to explain why the after shocks have been so varied (by location): http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us1000778i#...

3) also from USGS, a map indicating affected regions, with town populations, and the likely economic impact of the quake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us1000778i#...

4) The Canterbury Police shared a link earlier that indicated 3-5 meter swells is around the maximum we should expect from a locally generated earthquake (due to the nature of fault lines in NZ), that's not to say we can't experience a larger tsunami, but that said tsunami would have to be generated externally (like say, south america), which should in theory give us more time to prepare. But like all things, this isn't a hard and fast rule.

5) there's a pretty cool video of what purports to be lights in the sky over wellington during the earthquake (probably has something to do with magnetic interference from the energy released by the quake): https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%...

6) stuff have had pretty good live coverage here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/86416304/live-north-canterbu...

7) The USGS website indicated that the quake lasted around 2 minutes, with the highest intensity coming around 50 seconds into the quake.
Ah ok, I'll let my Eclipse Git coworkers know about this. Shame there isn't a Linux version or I could give it a go myself to see how it compares. I assume it does branching well.
> Looking at Google Analytics for a website we were about to launch, I was surprised to see hits from others in the development team, tracked by Google

So you are OK with making Google track your users but you don't want to be tracked yourself?
They might say they're using a vanilla browser to ensure everything works, but it's worth mentioning it's possible to filter IP addresses in Google Analtyics to stop those hits from being counted.
There really is a shortage of quality developers. A bit off topic, but I believe that's why there are so many devs bemoaning the growth of the JS ecosystem...you may have to know actual Computer Science instead of just one tool.
But people don't stay in the "average hotel", they stay in the hotel wherever they happen to be, and that area may have low vacancy due to seasonal demand or special events.

Though I haven't just pulled into a random hotel in years, I look up hotels on my smartphone so I can not only look at vacancy but also ratings.
>India, if you understand how its education system is setup, is essentially a labour market for producing service workers for the Anglosphere.

There is no social security in India so many times aging parents solely depend on their kids for their livelihood. So its ingrained in culture to push your kids into studying what might be profitable than what is interesting to the kids.
Water pipes often accumulate a layer of sediment at the bottom. Anything that stirs it up will cause brief discolouration of the water. Your pipes may be fine. (That said, I wouldn't drink the water right now.)
Why not have some sort of CSS / JavaScript trickery so that the FAQ item can be displayed or hidden without any sort of pop-up at all? Anyone who browses with JavaScript off is tech-savvy enough to open up the page in a new tab. (Anyway, for me, this definitely falls under the "web site thinks it's the best UI; I don't", but I recognise that this is almost by definition a matter of personal opinion.)
Frequency tends to be somewhat orthogonal to instructions per watt. (It's easish to build hyperpipelined CPUs which have horrendous pipeline stall latency characteristics.) And CMOS tends to dissipate power (most as heat) proportional to the square of the frequency because zero crossing in CMOS logic is a virtual short-circuit. MIPS (the former Hennessy shop), SPARC and other RISC shops tended to ignore more/less the retail consumerization of the CISC MHz wars to bet on architecture fundamentals.

I highly recommend taking a digital logic and computer architecture class in a CS program to understand how pipelines/instruction units are laid out (microcoding, branch prediction, pipeline stalls, macro ISA, etc.), what makes them fast/slow and challenges to implementation.
Most of the code and metrics are now outdated but https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS/Performance will have some historical perspective, http://eideticker.mozilla.org/#/android/lg-g2x/mozilla-centr... was our test for comparison between android and fxos.

When we started it was an open question whether we could build a fast enough platform to compete with native applications, thats no longer a question I think about.

People think the web is slow because opening facebook.com takes >200 requests loading >4MB over the network of which a large chunk blocks any rendering (and all of which interferes with it). Build a web application which loads its UI from disk, caches application data, only touches the network for updates, does not block rendering waiting on bundles of JavaScript and uses proper practices for JS / dom manipulation (use transforms over animating top/left, dont attach process heavy scroll handlers) and your web app will be as fast as a native app
1. What's the business model that uses open source?

2. Yes, I have an opinion. Fooling around with open sourcing the project is easier than shipping something useful and finding users and engaging with them. Until a significant fraction of people care about the project, nobody cares whether it's open source.

3. Open sourcing a project is not a road to free labor. Building a community of users is a potential way to garner useful pull requests. But a community of users comes first.

4. Generally, my impression is that building a community of open source users is harder than finding customers for a business.

Good luck.

No ones likes Trump. Its just that people dislike Clinton more. The DNC fielded a toxic loser that everyone outside of Manhattan and LA could smell from a mile away. Look into the Clinton Foundation, they are cartoonishly corrupt and bad at hiding it. Trump made a lot of promises (like all politicians do) and will most likely come up short on all of them. Look to the future. The US will be fine, you guys have been through worse.

The reason you can transfer money online is because banks and payment providers are insured, so when things go wrong you can (usually) get your money back.

Online banking doesn't implement security features to make things safe; it's to make the insurance cheaper.

Yes, it's very long. It turned out to be much harder to close Guantánamo Bay than Obama thought, with powerful forces in the government opposing or stalling.

(It's also illustrative of the difficulties Trump may have carrying through any of his promises that are controversial with the Republican orthodoxy.)
Adobe Just Debuted a ‘Photoshop’ for Audio and It’s Kind of Terrifying
You prosecute the one who seems most likely to have done it - who has a record, or was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or... Then you claim in court that there was less than a 1 in a million chance that he matched the suspect's photo, omitting the fact that there were numerous other matches. This is already happening with some of the less accurate forms of DNA testing.

The idea is to find a Nash equilibrium, but the question is stated in the wrong way, since it gives no indication that you're in a position to make any assumptions about your opponent's strategy.
Is it really a 7.8?

Why did they not predict it accurately?
Is is odd that this is just an answer copied from Quora?

I wonder if Quora actively tries to syndicate answers for backlinks? Maybe Mellissa O'Brian sent this to the Editors at Inc to see if they would run it?

EDIT: I see now that Quora has an author profile of syndicated content, which answers my question.

>There's 2 of me.

I would argue this is the line of thinking that makes us miserable throughout our lives. Associating 'me' with nobler instincts and pushing off all the undesirable traits to the 'other me that's not me' , the other me that needs to be constantly repressed via dieting, meditation, mindfulness,empathy training, zoloft, CBT ect. And of course none of these things actually work in any meaningful way because they are built on false premise of 'two of me'.
Hmm maybe I'm wrong. I vividly remember an equation for the power consumption of a CPU, and it definitely had a f^2 in it. However, I currently can't derive it anymore (and it was definitely a simplification). I'll try to pull up the slides later. It's probably outdated, the influence of the individual factors may have changed.

In the meantime I can only offer this [1] stackexchange post. Power of a CPU is definitely quadratic in f, or even worse.

[1] http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/34766/how-does-po...

edit: I probably remembered it wrong and I now think that that the equation was P=C x V^2 x f. However, transition power effectively has an exponent much greater than 2, but that's apparently caused by the increased die temperature (according to the post on Anandtech).

I'm pretty sure Civil Defence announced it's been contaminated. I would get bottled water, and get away from the coast if you're anywhere near there, or get to high ground. If you have no other option, go to a building with reinforced concrete that's high such as a parking lot. The Tsunami warning is issued to as far as wellington, and all of the cook straight.
I fail to see how stopping Trump from winning is a palatable outcome if the alternate option is Clinton winning. She is diametrically opposed to just about every progressive position, I don't see how any progressive could support her in good conscience.

Unless of course it's more important that the team you identify with wins than what the principles that team stands for are.
This is greatly exaggerated. You are talking about Peter Thiel who is one of the best chess players of the country. He has strategical thinking and strong business focus, but he has almost nothing to do with the NSA. Palantir's clients are almost all of the agencies of the US working in the national security space not only NSA. If this is what you meant by that.
Same thing happens when police publishes photo of suspect and then your neighbour reports you.
IMO, if you're checking the URL for directory traversal it's already too late. Whenever I build a server that serves files, I maintain a whitelist set of served files, and the first thing I do in the file request handler is check if the URL is in the set. If not, immediately drop to 404. There's too much that can go wrong with trying to sanitize inputs; it's better to rule out the possibility of unsanitized data by design. There's more than one approach to this, and none of them admit directory traversal.
If they don't want it to be mineable, why not a search feature that emails results to the email in question?

Depends on in high-performance is what you need, but this was just an example of even the container FS can have incredible integrity.

Why would a container keep from using mirrored sets of SSDS, RAM, or an LB?

The absolute worst case you can set these up manually on your host and map the directories into the container.

A better scenario, the various storage systems (EMC, NetApp, Ceph, name it) out there have volume plugins integrating with Docker, Kub, etc.

How to handle storage in the container depends on your needs, just like as if it was VM or a physical machine... and ultimately the setup is in the worst of cases no different.
Totally experience the same phenomenon.

When I write proofs I experience it even more, there is a voice in my head (one that I do not identify as being 'me' and is virtually a black box) that directs me. I often have no idea where it is going as I am writing down statements, but it never fails to produce good results.

Reminds me a little of Socrate's voice.
Nearly everything in UFOlogy is obvious folklore, hoaxes, and wishful thinking, with probably some misinformation to cover up classified aircraft projects thrown in. But here's the thing...

If life and intelligence are natural phenomena, and if Earth-like planets are common (as Kepler has shown), then ET presence is if not a full blown prediction of science then at least a reasonable possibility.

The fact that we don't see it everywhere is known as the Fermi paradox, and it is genuinely such. There should be ET probes and signals at least.
e.g. only root can get access to the seed. Then the attacker would already need to have root, so then you're in huge trouble anyways.
