Not if they're writing C/C++; it doesn't really matter how hard you try to hide memory management when the whole language is designed around memory and pointers. What kind of programmer is that, anyway? Who can only program specific api's, as long as they don't touch the wrong parts of the language.
I would argue that except in the case of legacy software there's no reason to be using C/C++ for something that doesn't care about performance or memory overhead.

Even then it's useful to know how sentinel values and other features work if you don't dig into the performance aspect.
Applaud you for what it a lot of work and a nice, clean UI kit. But at the end of the day, what really differentiates this one from, say, Bootstrap or SemanticUI etc.?

Seems to be a rehash of similar components in a lot of other libraries, but with less featured functionality. For instance, I checked out the autocomplete component, but it doesn't seem to do a 'progressive' search when you start typing in something. Instead, as soon as you start typing, it displays ALL the options in the drop down. I would much rather it does a keyword match and narrows down the selection the more you type - like other autocomplete UI kits do.
As it is for even closed source project, documentation and support are a major pain, and are not as rewarding as aligning correct lines of codes.

I will try to use a gross misrepresentation of a new-comer, but chances are they will ask trivial question that do not concern the project ( or are already answered ), some resources ( developer time ) will be used in favor of answering/guiding the newcomer ( who probably did not have search the usual sources before asking the question ).

Documentation is quite a pain to maintain, as it requires a good grasp of the English language ( mostly ), and quite a lot of empathy to figure out who the documentation is for.
Additionally you have to make sure the documentation is accurate as the software change.

Returning the question: do you accurately comment the code you write for fun ?
Any indexes on the table? Are you using COPY, INSERT INTO or /COPY via PSQL?
Isn't this exactly why the electoral college exists? To prevent incredibly dense populations with completely different priorities from deciding for the entire nation?

Note also, no states went to Trump where Clinton had the popular vote.
This is the comment I had to read in order to finally understand the point you were making. I saw the video of the alleged mocking you are now calling into question, and the one about seeing people in NJ celebrating months ago. For me, hearing him say stop-and-frisk was a good way to police was enough to end my interest.
An interesting hypothesis regarding presidential elections but ...

1) It doesn't affect House elections

2) Any such second-order effects could also favor Democrats

3) There is no evidence; we're just wildly speculating
Although dirty, you could still technically use Postgres I believe, you would just need to run it on EC2 and EBS instead. The covered services for the BAA include EC2 and EBS, so you would still be covered under the signed BAA with Amazon. When it is eventually covered under the BAA, you could port over to Postgres RDS.

"activity in the input monitor"

Hi. Are you sure about that?

Using one of the other tools mentioned here (Oversight) it looks like Microphone starts when you open Input and closes when you close Input tab. Which makes sense as you do want to see Input feedback instantly. Mac 10.11
Further, the complexity and need for flexibility is exactly the problems that I'm trying to deal with here. That's why the challenge encourages splitting the allocator up in Unix-like pieces and stacking them to get the desired features.
Fly it over my property and expect it to be neutralized.
Doesn't work for my particular application but I'm sure others will find it useful, assuming they don't run into the technological conspiracy to hide reality enigmango discovered ;-)
This is very clever, and an interesting read, but kind of disappointing results.

They don't look much better than doing say... upsample to twice desired size, apply basic sharpen/structure filter, downsample to desired size.

A little better? Yes. But some (like the horse) look pretty weak

I read your comment three times; I'm really trying to interpret it generously; yet I fail to conclude anything else than that you're saying:

- 'I don't care about no stinking facts! I feel xyz, and you haven't changed my feelings, so nanana!' (your references to what 'a lot of you find relevant' for no apparent reason, and how it 'makes sense')

- You're rather presumptuous, provincial and frankly borderline xenophobic in your assumptions about other countries. Because these countries have a lower GDP, they're some backwater shitholes that can't be compared to the US? Because for example Argentina isn't all that far behind the US in, say, the human development index (because I happened to have a tab open on that from looking it up for another comment in this thread). If that hurts your little feelings of assumed American superiority over other countries in every aspect, well then that's on you.

(PS and this is not even considering that the US is a huge country and that it makes more sense to compare per state; which makes my points all the more poignant. I mean, let's talk about homicide rates for Idaho; or New Hampshire; or Wyoming and compare those to other countries! Geez those Canadians and French are even more murderous than those New Hampshirites who don't even have to register any gun they buy!).

(edit: added newline because my list was smashed into one paragraph; replaced 'racist' with 'xenophobic')
How do city councils generally feel about people offering to donate money for government-administered programs? I've wondered about this and imagined that they might consider it improper influence in their budgeting and policy-setting practices and that it might actually be forbidden by law in some places. (But clearly some people are able to negotiate "public-private partnerships" on particular issues and projects and people have also been able to donate large amounts of money for certain infrastructure projects, like the recent Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital project.)

If I showed up with a group of people and a couple of thousand dollars for an earmarked public works project, how might it be received in different places?

"Sure, cool?"

"Against our budgeting laws?"

"Contrary to our notions of democracy or equity in public spending?"

"Improper in public administration terms because it results in overhead or management costs that can't be properly accounted for or budgeted?"

from my perspective arguing with climate-science terrorists looks pretty similar to shouting down climate-scientist terrorists with ad hominem.
All politics just vanished from Facebook Trends
No Trump, no Pence, no Obama; just references to Minecraft, Game of Thrones and, the MacBook pro. I guess Facebook prefer that its users be calm and placid, rather than engaged amd politically active. Shame on you Zuckerberg!
Sure, the idea is that you can have several allocators around for different purposes. One allocator per http handler that reserves enough memory and resets the pointer between request makes the idea more feasible than insisting on the centralized general purpose perspective.
While we are on the subject the UK has a law that states :
"No extracts from parliamentary proceedings may be used in comedy shows or other light entertainment such as political satire"

So political satire shows like Jon Stewart and the Late show? Can't happen in UK. Guess thats why John Oliver, an englishman, is doing his show in the US.

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is well quantified and there are estimates regarding how much of this is caused by human activity that don't appear to be source of too much controversy. The warming caused by CO2 is relatively clear, and not seriously disputed.

But the direct warming due to CO2 is not what triggers all the public debate about climate change. That comes from the indirect warming associated with hypothesized positive feedback mechanism within the Earth's climate. There is no settled science on this indirect warming so the net affect of human-activity (the measured CO2 in the atmosphere contributed by human activity) is unclear. The climate models have historically over-estimated this net affect when their predictions are compared to the actual measurements.
Your gun problems in the US appear to be not so much about "criminals" using guns as it's about random ordinary people under influence of stress or propaganda shooting ordinary people. Having a legal firearms market with ready availability makes it demonstrably easier for such characters to acquire firearms and shoot people vs. other developed economies.

Criminals in contrast in most jurisdictions (except notably in Mexico) tend to want to limit violence and fly under the radar and tend to use firearms as a last resort.
My comment at the bottom was pointing out that you basically called people who don't agree with you amateurs. Yes, you qualified it with "most" but the sentiment remains. This sort of response is especially unhelpful when the "amateurs" being dismissed are not laypeople but professionals in the same field. It's like a group of heart surgeons asserting that arteries are very specifically the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs and then calling general practitioners inexperienced for not getting on board with the retroactive redefinition.

I also don't believe it's reasonable to assert that I have to provide new terminology in order to point out that this definition is fundamentally problematic and does not match the common usage. But if you want a word, call it a preset (because all the interactions are defined in advance) or a mine field (because if you step in the wrong place, it blows up your test, and because your grandkids will still be dealing with the mess).
They have always had RSS feeds. Maybe not easy to find but they do work.
I was wondering about this too. Looks a little shady ( on DroneBase's part), from what I am seeing in Pilot Forums.

I wonder who it is that shot all the alleged footage for Hilton Hotels etc (mentioned in the TC article). Could very well be a single pilot or company that produced stunning footage to get funding etc.
I don't think this is anything new.

The feature they got rid of was a single RSS feed for all your subscriptions.

They've had per channel RSS feeds and OPML export since they got rid of that, I believe.
I hope this starts a trend. It has been very frustrating to see large services stop offering RSS feeds, often with no or cumbersome alternatives.
At least in the UK, Her Majesties Customs and Excise tried to measure it in biscuits (which require 17.5% greater cutting force than cakes), but Mcvities prevailed in the courts.
Interesting. A bunch of my old dead YouTube RSS feeds suddenly had new posts (of old videos) in them this week.

They had killed off public rss feeds but you could still get an rss URL if you were singed in and subscribed to the channel.
Thank you to the author. Amazing resources!
Why I created my own Framework
Perhaps, but I'm talking more about that voting methods are not necessarily to blame for the levels of partisanship in US politics.

There have been a lot of eerie similarities in Australian politics in terms of partisanship.

Turnbull was ousted from his first turn at Liberal Party leadership precisely because he was seen as 'cooperating' with the Labor government at the time, when he was willing to negotiate and compromise on certain positions.
Trump and many other people don't seem to clearly understand the difference between the 'settled science' part of climate change and the 'unclear science' part. As such Trump and many others have very muddled and confused responses to those advocating various public policy changes due to climate change.

Some clarity about what is and isn't 'settled' would certainly improve the public debate on policy but I'm not holding my breath.

The related question would be "what is your minimum order?' That's where a personal water cutter may work better for some. The occasional use is indeed a question - and how much additional things may be done or prototyped. How many jury-rigged parts are on the trike that could be done better with the proper custom part. And if it's worth doing a one off order for a gear or bracket that is 2"x4".
Before I read the article or the comments I thought it would be about rewriting code to not use dynamic allocation, which is IMHO a far more interesting (and challenging to some) exercise. Contrary to common expectations, it often doesn't mean e.g. restricting the lengths of inputs, and can result in simpler, more efficient, and less buggy code. From my experience it is usually those with a background in higher-level languages who overuse malloc().
I would love for the iPhone to have a "guest mode" for the times you need to loan the phone to someone for a quick call, and that would work for Apple Store diagnostics as well.
I thought they did a decent job of explaining it, but by publicly exposing it in a high profile case (Silk Road) they did themselves a disservice.

The fact that it's referenced regularly in primetime TV means that thousands of people who never would have heard of it now check it out - increasing darknet sales well beyond what they would have been otherwise.

One Weird Trick to Destroy Western Civilization
It seems like a real phenomena, I wonder it there's anywhere that gets strong enough earthquakes regularly enough where a camera could be setup? Chile maybe?

Also interesting is during this earthquake they were apparently filmed off the coast, which probably rules out the local electrical grids.
Normally you ban things that have significant negative externalities to others.

Hard drug addiction tends to be a negative externality because addicts tend to be easily manipulated to commit crime due to their dependency and also tend to have skewed judgements for being good at regular jobs.

Weapons tend to be a negative externality because ready weapon availability lets random ordinary people under stress or influenced by propaganda to shoot up other people and makes it more dangerous for police to operate.

Gambling tends to be restricted for a similar reason to reduce availability since there are too many instances of families ruined by someone's gambling addiction.
I found myself doing the same just a few days ago when my local server suddenly had a new ip address. I made a simple script to scan IP addresses in the range: https://gist.github.com/johshoff/bed463ce8a122123e60bbc84bd1...

There are probably faster ways, but none that I could think of a the time.
Getting married is probably something worth getting emotional about. Strangers on the internet having made different decisions (or even thinking badly about my decisions) probably isn't.
>I have hundreds of original articles I would like to publish on our sites and don't

Wait, you have already sunk the costs to produce this content, but will not because others might profit from it? This doesn't make much sense at all unless I'm missing something here. You might have generated some revenue, but now it's $0?
I've been playing with the idea and have a prototype of a "Youtube Manager" for lack of not having a better name app powered by electron. I have some 300+ subscriptions (yeah I know... but these are curated very interesting channels that upload often) and yt's interface is horrible to keep track of uploads/subscriptions. I don't care for spamming my inbox when someone uploads or push notifications and I tend to miss uploads I look forward to at times.

It has several layouts, my most used being a trello/tweetdeck setup with categories and fullscreen/overlayed video, also spent last weekend adding the mobile minimize video feature while able to search. It's been a sideproject for several months now and I find it highly useful but I was wondering if I should take the plunge and develop this into something more. I'm a bit hesitant seeing how youtube killed Streamus (http://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/07/21/how-youtube-killed-...). But since this has popped up, would this be something that people are genuinely interested in and or would it be wise to release into the wild?

Edit: There exists http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube but this is way different and does more than just search, not as heavy either thanks to the chromium engine.
I think you hit the nail on the head -- "as you get deeper into the details: you need words for the fine-grained distinctions."

Indeed, nomenclature gives us clarity of concept and that precision yields efficiency of thought and communication.

Are the names arbitrary? I certainly thought so when I started. How did mock objects became expectation testing instruments and stubs didn't? How exactly is a stubbed class not a fake? Or would we use the word fake only for something like an in memory database? Aren't all test doubles fakes? Except, if a spy just wraps the object class, but allows calls through, then is it a double at all, or would it just be a probe? So are partial mocks and proxies liars?

Regardless of whether the names are arbitrary, it's useful to have them. It sure beats "double type A" and "Type B double". "Perhaps you should use the Second Double Form, the Third Form isn't really necessary." Ugh.

Perhaps there isn't a competing name set because it's hard enough getting everyone to agree these are distinct concepts. Maybe that would be easier with better names. After all, if there's popular rejection of the distinctions until the underlying concepts are understood, then the names aren't leading us to water on their own merit.

It seems, also, the more I hear the generation before mine talk about doubles, the more I find they use them very sparingly. The Beck's and Fowler's seem laid back about the nomenclature in favor of shared processual understanding.
> a consequence of the franchise model

what a coincidence that a "consequence of the franchise model" is the inability to unionize, since each franchise is owned independently. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the structuring of the franchise, does it ?
Japan has two grids that run at different frequencies. (50hz and 60hz)

They are actually connected but can only transfer about 2000MW from one to the other via the one connection point.

They have plans to add more interconnects starting in 2020.
> You'd think someone in the chain of command would say, "what would this look like as a legal market? How much could we generate in taxes? Do these people really belong behind bars?"

When you look purely at the drug section, yeah, that makes sense. Keep in mind though that the market also facilitates less morally ambiguous things that involve (from TFA):

- child sexual exploitation

- chemical, biological, and radiological materials and knowledge

- stolen goods

- counterfeit goods

Legalising drug use would only remove one class of product from these marketplaces. They're still going to need to be shut down.
>Writing it in Rust means I can compile it and hand it to him, and he can run it. And that’s it. As wonderful as they are, the fact that languages like Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. require having the runtime bundled up with them makes just shipping a tool a lot harder—especially on systems which aren’t a Unix derivative and don’t have them installed by default.

I'm wondering what part of the twelve step compilation process was found to be easier than simply installing Python on the target machine?

Does the friend have any ability to audit the compiled binary before he runs it? Can he make a small change when he wants to re-use part of the solution?
I agree, they got rid of the single feed for all subscriptions, and that per-channel rss thing has existed for a long time and wasn't removed at all, afaik.
As a pilot I just don't see the value this (and others) platform could offer. What makes them different than the other dozen platforms that advertise drone services? They are also a little misleading, "If you are at least 18 years old and have your own drone, you're 99% there."? There's regulations to follow in many countries, and severe penalties for violating them.
God... "Try retirement"... That must be nice.
You seem to assume that tariffs are the norm, and free trade was shafting those people unfairly. I think free trade is the norm, and tariffs are artificially preventing people who are unable to compete from being put out of business.
