Taking a wild guess I'd suppose increased political instability would be a driving factor some of them being:

* Britain, Brexit

* Italy, uncertainty around euro and leadership

* France, Presidential candidates are more aligned with Russian/Putin-values then earlier

* USA, Trump being elected to president as an outlier

These things will of course also drive political uncertainty in the rest of the world which will naturally put value of fiat currency in speculation, gold certificates are already sold at a much greater rate then available gold so bitcoin is a viable alternative.

Another explanation could be current lack of institutional investors in the bitcoin market, once BtC ETF's (stock traded funds) correlated to bitcoin value starts popping up there is a much higher likelyhood for institutions to enter the market. At this moment I only know of one, XBT in Sweden but the Winklevoss brothers are trying to open one up in the US.

Delivery trucks already just drive on the sidewalks, and illegally parked cars/trucks already impede fire trucks and ambulances.

None of those parking spaces are ever open to delivery trucks, they're occupied 24/7. Eliminating street parking would just get rid of a row of parked cars.
Okay, so if I replace "process" with "utilise" we are good?
>> Now what you have to handle when you start doing mathematics as an older child or as an adult is accepting this state of being stuck.

I left High School with a terrible taste in my mouth for math, which is partly why I dropped my STEM major for a liberal arts degree. Now in my late twenties, I am about to start taking math courses at a local community college. I think the hours I've put in debugging code has given me an enjoyment of being stuck for hours or days on end. Hopefully this will help me experience a renewed enjoyment of mathematics.
Interesting to note that Phreaking is still very much alive and kicking.

Most of the hackers I know gave up on Phreaking once hacking became popular in their circles. To me, there will always be something more fascinating about the telephone infrastructure.
There's also the fact that US in general has higher living costs, even if they are not immediately evident. Take for instance the price of renting a shitty one person flat in Berlin vs San Francisco. Not to mention that in most European countries you don't have to tip 30% over the price of a meal because waiter salaries here are actually enough to cover living costs.
The German language appears to have a lot of good words for app names. In fact, a lot of times when I'm trying to come up with names for apps and such, I usually just head over to Google Translate and start translating mundane English words into other languages until I get one that sounds cool coming off my American-English tongue.

Lesen is the German verb meaning "to read". There was another submission recently about an immutable/persistent data structure library named Immer which means, roughly, "always".
Anecdotes are always a terrible way to prove a point. I suspect that your examples are probably the kind that prove the rule. You may have been on teams where deadlocks didn't happen for your tenure. But did they happen before or after your tenure? A tech lead is like health insurance. It's not there for when you aren't sick. It's there for when you are. and it's usually too late to get it when you are already sick.
The word is "unless". Be careful with words like "lest" if you don't fully understand the meaning (it is not synonymous with "unless").

But no, trust me there are C programmers who use malloc and friends without knowing about the heap and stack. For those programmers it's just how you "get memory" in C. It's just part of the language for them (as opposed to part of the operating system).
I think the candy japan guy from around here talks about it a lot.. people using candy to validate stolen CCs...
Mint 17 was vastly more compatible as a desktop VM than Ubuntu 14.04, so I definitely used it when I needed to test code with gcc 4.8.

I want to start this by saying I think it is wrong for a person to be attacked in any manner for their citizenship in a protected class. At the same time, I think all protected classes should be fair game for critical discussion on the pros and cons of belonging to that specific class.

With my opening comment in mind, what if I reject your premise and believe that ones gender should match their sex? Is it not a political issue when a portion of the population believe transgenderism is alright and another portion believe differently?

I feel like the standard for what counts as "diversity and inclusion" is skewed. There is no problem with an atheist opening being critical of religion. Yet I cannot openly critique the merits of anything in the LGBTQQIP2SAA community.

Is the end goal that everyone has the "right" answer to specific questions and no one has hurt feelings or is the end goal that an open honest dialog between radically different viewpoints can happen where all parties are respected regardless of the topic being discussed or who is involved in the discussion? Someone please chime in if they disagree but I see a lot of former happening and only lip service being paid to the later.
Of course, the point is that they can't be refuted. They're not claims for which a refutation is a well-defined concept.

Sartre once wrote this about anti-Semites, but it applies equally well here (and, to be clear, I am making no implication about whether the people using the same tactics today are also anti-Semites, just that they're using the same tactics):

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side."

The only winning move, for those of us who believe in words, is not to play.

I mean, bank robbery directly affects $X. It is more difficult to determine how much money is "stolen" when someone violates copyright law, but ultimately if it is more than $X why shouldn't the sentencing be on par with or more than that of bank robbery?
"IT Professionals" is a broad label. Maybe we can think of getting a 'degree in a field' as a proxy-variable for 'interest in the field'. What's astonishing to me is through the 60s, 70's and into the mid-80s, computer-tech interest in female cohorts tracked with science, law and medical fields. Then it flattened and fell, while female participation in those other three fields continued to expand at the rates they had before. (So, what happened in 1985?)
Should that have really been your concern? If every company that processes cards has to be fraud detecting experts, then they CC system is totally broken.
Someone out of band poked me to give an eye as to what I see the roadmap is. I'm currently working on getting the JIT working with Ruby trunk (https://github.com/rubyomr-preview/ruby/tree/ruby_2_4_omr_pr...).

Once that's stable, then I'd like to focus on trying to some of this code integrated into MRI upstream, perhaps as an experimental branch for the 2.5 development cycle, or as something that can be compiled in optionally.

In parallel, I'd like to work on improving performance . We've not put a lot of effort into performance, and have instead focused on compatibility and currency, so that we have a good base from which to grow performance on top of.
Working with Vagrant and VirtualBox on Windows was very buggy for me because of slow file sharing, until I enabled NFS. This requires a plugin for Winnfsd and typically some modification of your Vagrant configuration, but for me it was definitely worth setting up for the performance gains.

Are you sure about this? I seem to recall that dogs do have cones, just not many and not of as many varieties (that is, three) as we have.
I would assume that people like to speculate with the currency. Since there is limited supply people expect the value to go up. As they buy it becomes a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. (Also I assume the cost of mining is going up as well)
I do it. It helps to always have the VM on in the background, so logging into it is as easy as firing up cygwin and ssh'ing in. Also, you should set up samba, so you can edit files in your text editor of choice remotely.

That's funny, I thought I would hate Parisians, but they were incredibly kind and warm. You just have to talk to them the way you speak to New Yorkers: to the point, and about the city or food.

New Yorkers have the same reputation for the same reasons: we're busy and you're the 500th person to ask me how to get to Times Square. If you ask me about the best place to get food in Flushing or how the subway was built? Love to help out. Parisians seem the same.

I guess that's your point about tourists, but they just need to be more respectful I guess.
That's exactly the bonus amount that prompted me to quit a health tech startup that had just been sold to a larger company. I wasn't the only one that left either.

Funny, because they really needed us to stay on because the acquisition meant a fair amount of tech work to integrate the product with the parent company's tech. My manager actually started crying when I quit...I think I was the 3rd or 4th to quit that day.

To me, $100 is worse than 0, especially when (as in your case, and mine), it's clear that the company had a great year. In my case, we also knew that the management had helped themselves to very substantial payouts.

I wasn't expecting to get rich, but I was at least expecting something that was, say 5-20%+ of my yearly salary. We had worked our asses off for 2 years, I was employee #13.

Edit: We all, of course, talked among ourselves. Everyone other than the equity holding employees got $100. So, it wasn't an intentional "fuck you" bonus...just an incredibly stupid miscalculation that we wouldn't interpret it that way.
Unless terms of service start getting a lot more specific, this sounds harmful even to the gaming industry.

The status quo is that the TOS of most online games just have a blanket ban on anything that modifies the game experience, but in practice enforce this very selectively. Basically the players develop software and then the game publisher decides whether the software is acceptable. An aimbot probably isn't, something that logs the ingame chat probably is, in between there is a huge gray area to explore.

But if the worst punishment for a misstep isn't an account ban but five years in jail, people might think twice about developing anything for that games community. On that front, everybody loses.
Ex-Uber employee here. Ethics and values were roughly 80% of the reason why I chose to walk away from what was ostensibly my dream job after only a few months.

Being clear, my experience never saw misuse of customer info, just some legal but shady-as-shit ways they chose to do business.

EDIT: Sorry, my point being that, while I don't anticipate they'll abuse customer location tracking in the large, I would vehemently dispute the parent poster's supposition that everyone at Uber is super ethical. Rank and file engineer? Yeah, probably fine. Management? I expect TK and his lieutenant bros and bro-ettes will do whatever he can get away with.
Yeah, I know better but was too annoyed at the time.

As uncommon as car ownership is in NYC, it's incredible how much friction there is around reducing roadway for cars. Every bike lane added in the city is a hard fought battle. So I think you're absolutely right—the solutions are well understood. Changing car culture is difficult.
Residents use the subway. Taxis are mostly for visitors: tourists, or day trippers from the periphery.
We do sell online: https://d.neadiamonds.com

They are 100% real diamond, just grown instead of mined. A typical jeweler cannot conclusively identify a diamond's origin, however gemological grading labs with more advanced equipment can. Companies are trying to develop inexpensive testing devices, like exist for cubic zirconia and moissanite, but so far they are expensive and limited to those major grading labs.

There are a few ways to identify the grown origin:
-Most grown diamonds sold for jewelry have independent grading reports from gemological grading labs (GIA, IGI, EGL, GCAL, etc.) identifying them as grown. Part of this grading process is to laser inscribe the diamond with wording like "Laboratory Grown". This inscription can be read on the diamond with 10-20x magnification.

-Inclusions can be different in grown diamonds, however are graded on the same clarity scale as mined diamonds (VVS, VS, SI, etc.). Metallic inclusions are extremely rare in mined diamonds, but common in HPHT-grown, since they grow in a molten metal solution. CVD inclusions can be graphite or have planar characteristics.

-Grown white/colorless diamonds are all "Type IIa", which means few to no impurities. Less than 2% of mined diamonds are type IIa. ~98% of mined diamonds are type Ia and actually contain more nitrogen than grown fancy yellow diamonds (type Ib). Equipment that can check these impurity levels are good initial screening tests (2% false positive for IIa mined diamonds). For completeness, type IIb contain trace amounts of boron, and make the diamond blue and electrically conductive. These IIb diamonds can eventually be used as semiconductors.

-Disclosure. We are proud of our grown diamonds, and the other producers are too. Most of our customers buy them because they are made by scientists and technicians in high tech labs. It took longer to grow jewelry quality diamonds than it did to put humans on the moon. Mined diamonds do support economies in remote and third-world regions of the world, but can come with their own environmental and social issues.
like a burner t-mobile flip phone from Walgreens?
I believe I read yesterday this is being committed soon to FreeBSD head.
I want to slot my phone into a dock connected to three high resolution monitors and a keyboard/mouse and be able to do development work.

Essentially, when it's in my hand it's in Phone Mode, when it's in the dock it's in Desktop PC mode.

We are getting there with tablets. You can do this with the Surface for example thanks to Display Link technology. I just want the device to be phone sized, around 5.5" or so with a good battery life when operating as a phone, a decent processor, a decent amount of Ram (8GB at least), and about 500GB of SSD storage.

With a Surface or equivalent tablet, you still need to carry around a bag with you to carry it in which is a pain. If that could be small enough to fit in your pocket that would be ideal!
A solution for game assets building.

Ideally it would be possible to build all assets (maps, models, textures, binaries) in a game from source files to the format that's distributed to people.

Unfortunately due to the build times for certain things like maps it's not feasible to rebuild everything before every release. Combined with the fact that the files are relatively large means that we can't store everything in one git repository.

I'd be very grateful if anyone knows a solution to this.
Why not just work directly in the VM? I mainly use emacs on OSX now, so I would expect it to feel natural.
I think that's a risk for sure -- if it can't compete with Cubic, what will the user experience be like? The authors note that it's still actively being researched. They do cite encouraging public internet deployment test results though:

"BBR is being deployed on Google.com and YouTube video servers. Google is running small-scale experiments in which a small percentage of users are randomly assigned either BBR or CUBIC. Playbacks using BBR show significant improvement in all of YouTube's quality-of-experience metrics, possibly because BBR's behavior is more consistent and predictable. BBR only slightly improves connection throughput because YouTube already adapts the server's streaming rate to well below BtlBw to minimize bufferbloat and rebuffer events. Even so, BBR reduces median RTT by 53 percent on average globally and by more than 80 percent in the developing world."

Regarding deployment: between Apple and Samsung they control 75% of mobile all mobile Internet traffic [1]. So with only two vendors deploying, we could see a very fast pace of adoption. Given there are now more mobile users than desktop users [2] and that mobile media time is now exceeding desktop media streaming time [2] it seems like mobile Internet traffic could be the majority (would love to know if anyone can find better stats on this, i.e. % of Internet traffic mobile vs desktop). A decade ago

But yes on private-backbone use cases like Google (and other companies with a lot of private fiber networks) are likely the most immediate adopters it could easily save millions a year -- 133x throughput (!)

"Manually raising the receive buffer on one US-Europe path caused BBR immediately to reach 2 Gbps, while CUBIC remained at 15 Mbps—the 133x relative improvement predicted by Mathis et al."

I switched from a Macbook earlier this year. My workflow is based around vim.

I started out using virtualbox, which was actually pretty great for me, and I still fall back to it for some projects. I don't develop games or anything, but for the simple task of making and running web & shell software, it works flawlessly.

However, since a lot of my work is remote over ssh anyway, I've been really pleased with Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, and I use that more and more. I thought it sucked at first because of colors, then I realized I can run X server and xterm, and then my shared ssh config and key files work for me out of the box on windows without having to mess around with putty.
a) You should use log scale[1]
b) The same "hype cycle" has been repeated in 2011 (bottom $0,001, top $32, crash to $2) 2013 (bottom $10ish, top $266, crash to $55) and 2014 (bottom $70ish, peak $1200ish, crash to $350ish) - always reaching higher highs and bottoming out to higher lows.

Therefore, zoom out and you will see that Bitcoins has "interim bubbles", but the long time trend has nothing to do with Gartner's hype cycle.

> In this case their are people getting mad about video games, who are savvy about government process, somehow.

I think this is overlooking just how important video games are to S. Koreans.

To me, I see it not much different than this http://www.dw.com/en/germanys-anti-doping-law-comes-into-for...
You'd get jail time in the US for selling steroids, making devices for cheating at casino games or fixing the outcome of sporting events.

E-sports are serious business in South Korea. The Korea e-Sports Association is operated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and affiliated to the Korean Olympic Committee. E-sports have had serious problems with cheating, match fixing and illegal gambling. We're not talking about some niche hobby, but a significant part of the Korean economy.

I don't necessarily agree with this decision, but I think that it's unfair to characterise it as petty or draconian. The integrity of sport is a precious thing that needs protection. You might see an aimbot as the moral equivalent of a patch, but a professional e-sports player might see it as equivalent to a vial of steroids or a credit card skimmer.

There's a very fine line between cheating at a game and outright fraud.
