I've been using Xcode since iOS 2 and once Apple introduced IB for iOS, I was all for it. There are a bunch of challenges with IB that are outside of the solutions you proposed.

How do you fix these issues?

- Fixing misplaced views when transitioning from retina / non-retina screens or even different retina screen resolutions.

Reasoning: When I worked at Amazon this was extremely annoying - You didn't even have to touch the storyboard, you only had to open it and tons of misplaced views showed up. This causes a problem when working with any version control system because the XML changes are reflected in git even though nothing actually changed.

- Rendering Snapshots

Reasoning: I use snapshot tests to verify all views via unit tests. You can use IB to capture the view and load it programmatically, but you end up having to load the whole storyboard just to render one view controller.

- Setting all properties via IB

Reasoning: When I setup a button or a view, if half of my properties are in IB and half of my properties are in code, how do you determine what goes where. Apple did add IBDesignable, but wiring that up is so that you can click a drop down is more complicated than just setting the property on the object (and it renders in snapshots correctly and it never suffers from misplaced view and property configurations are in one place).

The teams that I've worked on aren't that big, but I can say that teams I've been a part of that don't use IB have worked a lot faster than IB teams. You may be a lot better at IB than I am, I only stopped using it 1 year ago for my projects after about 4 years of using it.
BART is way over capacity and a terrible experience for sure.

Have you tried the transbay busses? I ride the F from North Oakland every day and I have a seat every morning and, with a little planning, a seat every night on the way home (get to the stop early).

A motorcycle will probably be faster, but a 40 minute "leisurely" commute on the transbay is a pretty nice option.

I think puranjay interpreted the snippet as a joke referring to college students in fraternity as the "primates in a primate house".
So, like 7% of a single person isn't stupid? You might want to check the significant figures on that statistic.
The photos aren't available but the trained model is. It's a set of weights.
Yeah, the franchise tax is going to depend on assets and total shares. So varies by company. You can reduce by only issuing something like 100 shares at first if it is only you.

As for C-Corp, again IANAL or accountant, but I would never recommend a single founder go the C-Corp route. You are better off going as an LLC or taking the S-Corp election to take advantage of the tax benefits. Much simpler, and significantly cheaper, to do your annual returns.
There are lots of regional HVDC interconnects. LA has been getting DC power from the Pacific Northwest for 40 years.

I agree for the most part, you can't just drop everything because you're frustrated. You probably have people depending on you for income, or find moving basically impossible. I will say this though, you really should keep a keen eye out for something better.

I have a cousin who lives in a rough neighborhood. I don't mean scary looking, I mean bullets flying and blood soaked people walking down the street at night (literally saw that the last time I drove out of there). When I was a kid living there, I always thought to myself there's got to be something better and I hated the area. They choose to embrace it. Now, years later, streets are as dangerous as ever. They're still there and I found something a lot better.

I had a few lucky breaks, but I was watching for them and I didn't let it pass me by. My wife did the same, moved to entirely different countries and learned the language there. We treat our jobs the same, when we find it's something we hate, we work toward fixing that. We talk to management about issues that come up. We job search when we have too. We don't give up, we work toward something better.
And yet, from a short list of a dozen or so aphorisms (and not clichés), the same mistakes are made over and over again, which is why you hear them over and over again.

Everyone's heard "practice makes perfect" until it's become tired and overused, yet when's the last time you practiced restoring from backups from scratch onto a fresh machine? How sure are you, that there isn't a setting in `/etc` before it's usable in production and isn't in puppet/chef/ansible?

Or practiced failing over by firing up a entirely new cluster in a new AZ (and a new set of AWS keys), and failed over to that?

From this slide deck in particular, "Fight Hero Culture" (slide 6) isn't one that I've managed to take to heart (but I'm working on it), and I still don't like apologizing, especially when I was wrong (slide 11).

You might think about the "cliche" "Empathy is a core value" (slide 13) and think about how you might apply that to your comment.

I hope a video of stories from the actual talk is posted soon!

I think the main issue here is not to burn a huge chunk of money when starting a new life together, especially when the amount spent is usually a lot more than they can really afford.
Regarding accepting meetings, etc. Robert Heinlein has a great quote...

“Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please—this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time—and squawk for more!
So learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)”

> paying double tax

That's absolutely not true. In Canada, payroll is deducted as an expense against your corporation's earnings. The money left over in the corporation is taxed at corporate rates, but those are quite low for small businesses.

Also, more expenses are deductible as a corporation which balance out the much higher costs of accounting. And the corporation is one of the few ways of legally splitting income with a spouse in Canada.

For the rest of your comment, I agree that it's not ideal for someone starting out. I think that the bar for starting a personal corp is around $20k/year in side income.

I'm not an accountant, but I have been dealing with corporate taxes with one as a small business owner for ten years.

Lawyer and entrpreneur here. There are 2 main reasons to incorporate: liability protection and ease of administration.

You don't say what your side project is, but you have to ask your self whether you need liability protection, that is what are the chances someone is going to sue you for damages. If you feel you need liability protection, then you should form an entity. I recommend an LLC in most cases. It is a pass-through entity for taxes which means you pay taxes on your individual return (though it still must file a business tax return). Also buy insurance.

The other reason is ease of administration. A legal entity will have some form of controlling document. In an LLC, it is the Operating Agreement. This spells out the rights and duties of the principals in the business. It also allows for common ownership of the business assets. As principals come and go, the LLC continues on. Finally, if you get big and you bring on investors, they will want to see a legal entity for their protection.

The drawbacks of forming an LLC are the time and effort of drafting and filing all the proper incorporating documents, paying the filing fees (in California $800 per year), and the extra tax forms.

This is a complicated topic and I have given a high level view. There are lots of resources on the internet and in bookstores on this topic. Nolo.com would be a good place to start.
It would be new: the price could be much lower, perhaps closer to public transportation, while the privacy and directness of pickup and drop-off would be like taxis.

The point about storage and kids is definitely interesting. Seems like potential for business opportunities if we ever find ourselves in this world.

> Legally that land still belongs to Serbia and that comes from last legal border agreement between two sides which is constitution document of Yugoslavia dating from 1974.

That was my initial thought also. One side proposed a new border, and the other side didn't accept. That does not mean it's free land; that means that the status quo continues.

It seems to me the moral equivalent of offering $1 for a house, being rejected, then thereby claiming it's free for the taking...
>When I put on my tin foil hat (listen to that crinkling...) I wonder if the old redistributive working class left wasn't deliberately undermined by a push towards a more abstract, more divisive, and less politically coherent academic/intellectual left which focused on tokenism and identity politics over economic enfranchisement.

I generally run with uBlock on, so I guess I do it to every site.

I just learned about the log today from another comment. Even after reading it, I'm not sure all of what it is doing. Since the owner of the site is posting here, I thought it would be a good opportunity to ask. If anybody knows why the blocked count continues to climb even after the page is loaded, it would be the creator. It's always interesting to me to hear why something was built the way it is.

BTW, I'm not really complaining about anything.

Also, I just looked at the logs again and I don't see 11 different domains. So, yeah, even with the log it's confusing to me.

>Seriously, 32k in the days of shareware?

Yeah, but very latterly. Modems topped out at about 56K (although, in my experience, they rarely connected at that speed). That's the fastest I had before getting broadband in the late 90s.

Before that I had 9600 (maybe something else in between), although as I recall there were competing "standards" in the 9600 space.
I have often wondered how purveyors of this "type of content" might be using machine learning (classification etc). I think this project gives us a good hint of that.

I would also echo the sentiment of others in this post: This could be used for a lot of other things. An example that comes to mind: The auto-tagging / classification of athletic or sports footage. Athletic organizations spend A TON of money[0] on annotating / tagging team sports related video for things like statistics, aggregating individual players performance within a match, etc.

I started converting some c# code to f# as a learning exercise about a month ago. After a few fits and starts, something clicked and I am amazed at how much I like it. I have been following the articles on "F# for fun and profit" and highly recommend it.
Since this was an accidental post (now removed) in advance of the actual announcement and release, we've buried this story. That way we can avoid treating the actual announcement as a duplicate when it happens.
Well they usually want to do more expensive procedures along with the dental extraction. I've been delaying mine a bit because they want to take it out then put in a bridge, which will cost $1800 (normally $6700, but I have good dental insurance). In fact the extraction will be free, the cost is all in the bridge. But now you've got me paranoid again. Damn.
The most popular deep learning frameworks use CUDA and do not have stable OpenCL support out of the box.

It's worse than that. The popular frameworks use cuDNN, which is a hand (assembler) optimized library for common operations. AMD does not have any equivalent. Even if you have OpenCL support you'll get nowhere the performance.
Many cultures you give a valuable gift to the spouse, to ensure they won't be totally dependent - they have their own wealth. Until you can prove you can support a spouse, you can't marry.

That would make more sense today if it were possible to sell a diamond for anywhere near the purchase price.
But if you're writing C# in any of them, you're using the Roslyn compiler and its attendant services, so you get the same IntelliSense, you can share the same project files, etc.

That was implicit. The article is written for by adults, we don't need a disclaimer every time we include the opposite gender in our writings.
No, you aren't. I've also seen (and done) C++ used as C with classes in embedded systems development, where you really need to be sure that the compiler isn't doing something you don't expect.
So we were told when Xamarin was bought by Microsoft and Xamarin Studio made free. I just wanted to be able to make Android apps on Xamarin from my Linux laptop. Miguel de Icaza said on a reddit AMA they were already using MonoDevelop with Xamarin Android SDK internally, and would be releasing it.

Till date I cannot find anything Android related in MonoDevelop (or its available Add-ins).

At my university when I was attending, they were using PowerBuilder to teach object oriented programming. It landed me my first job at a big oil and gas company supporting a legacy app.
One of their more interesting products is a ANC (active noise control) chip for use in commercial vehicles [1]. I have yet to see a working demo of it in the wild, but they claim that it works. Their solution requires sensors installed on the engine block on top of the microphones installed in the cabin.

For native UIs on Windows, there are few better choices. Most line of business applications tend to be spreadsheets on steroids with lots of custom business-related functions, and for that kind of thing web-based UIs are far more difficult to deal with (think displaying thousands of rows, potentially 100+ columns, quick grouping and pivot-table-esque functionality, etc). You can do it with something like Electron and some open source JS libraries, but as someone who has gone down that rabbit hole it is a nightmare compared with using an out-of-the-box component from Infragistics, DevExpress, or Telerik that is much faster than a HTML/CSS/JS interface.
This project would probably involve a few construction and maintenance jobs.
The fact that this is apparently more nuanced than Yahoo's NSFW model (and open source at that) means it would certainly have applications in porn censorship, if that's your stance on the issue.

I've worked at 3 startups (~50 employees, ~300 employees and ~120 employees) and 1 big company. I'll definitely never be working at a startup again unless I own it. I didn't realize how underpaid and overworked I was until I joined the big co. Nor did I realize how narcissistic and demagogic my leadership was. Of course there were some benefits like less bureaucracy, but the pros of working at a big company far outweigh the cons.
Maybe RSS should rebrand as "textcasting" or something. Podcasts are popular, are not considered only for "power users", and are just RSS feeds of audio links.

It helps. No reason to artificially limit processing power available.

He 'shouldn't' do anything. Stupid people purposely avoid the most obvious meaning of the title just to show off their morality.
It is pretty obvious that the title is unnecessarily gendered, and that in this case it plays into broader stereotypes about women in STEM fields. I'm not sure why you are so insistent on defending it -- this is exactly the kind of thing that needs to stop happening if we really want a more inclusive atmosphere in the field.
The rest of the planet doesn't consider publicly-run higher education and health-care to be a "political revolution". We consider them an essential part of any healthy society and not to be touched even under the most right-wing of governments.

> Even a single computer can take down big servers using BlackNurse Attack (...) Researchers at TDC Security Operations Center have discovered a new attack technique that lone attackers with limited resources (in this case, a laptop and at least 15Mbps of bandwidth) can use to knock large servers offline. (...)

> By sending a Type 3 ICMP packets with a code of 3, a hacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) state by overloading the CPUs of certain types of server firewalls, regardless of the quality of internet connection.
The BlackNurse traffic volume is very small, ranging from 15 Mbps to 18 Mbps (or about 40,000 to 50,000 packets per second), which is laughable compared to record-breaking 1.1 Tbps DDoS attack recorded against French Internet service provider OVH in September.

My first job was at a large casino as a systems analyst. The casino switched CMS software and went to an AS400 RPG based application named ACSC. I took it upon myself to learn the database of the application and also to learn RPG programming (shudder).

This lead to my first software development position at a large international bank.

I worked as an RPG developer for three years then I pivoted to SQL Server/C#.

So yes knowing a not so famous language benefited me.
Yes, sorry, I meant "original" to mean the 1995 movie. I remember watching a documentary about GitS which pointed out that you can identify the setting as Hong Kong by the low flying aircraft over the city, which also dates it to before Kai Tak Airport was closed and HK got its new international airport on reclaimed land.
Sometimes all the meaning is in the name of a thing (or in the name of a function returning such a thing) and member names dont help but hurt. x/y is a good example, why not a/b? I prefer not having to make these decisions. Also tuple assignment syntax is very nice from a usability standpoint (I don't think C++ has it, but e.g. Python has).
Off topic, but what's the deal behind the bluetooth audio lag? Does it apply to calls as well? I've experienced it with music. Is this an Android problem or a problem that could be fixed by the automakers?
I'd argue that the startup craze restarted in 2008, on growth in the mobile app market. The reason: All the money flowing out of failing housing market went straight into tech and commodities. Suddenly these startups were bursting at the seams with investment money and everyone and their brother were trying to get a piece of the pie.

But now, commodities have already crashed. Money is starting to flow back into housing. It stands to reason that the easy money in tech has also left. 'Everyone and their brother' are starting to move on to the next get rich quick scheme.
Interesting point I had never considered, thanks. Yet another reason why I'll probably be purchasing a PC running Linux as my next laptop.
