It's an arms race though. You'll never know when they start to block the VPN you're using. And then the one after that and then your internet access.
I think you missed what this article was on about. They're comparing against "impact", not LOC. From what I understood, "impact" is actually LESS from high LOC; it's highest for a few lines in many files.

But, the overall conclusion - small bites, many times - definitely fits both my experience and my intuition.

You either have to a) create a library/module or b) use a library/module. "A" is rare, and it's easier to see the impact of it - "you're the person that made that thing". "B" is the most common, and it usually involves many small bites. It's also harder to notice who's accomplishing what this way, since you have to point at the whole team to say "you made that thing".

Impact sounds like a decent way to see who's meaningfully contributing to a group project, although it definitely (sounds like) it has major blind spots. They could do with more detail as to how "churn" relates.
I'm an Emacs user, and I love it a lot. However, I do believe that the Vim community has traditionally been more active with producing plugins.
A lot of people in finance spend their entire life doing the same work over and over. Same goes for programming. There is more to work than years of experience. Though no doubt there is a correlation, not everyone gets better with age.
Really good quote from TFA regarding their motive:

“Something that seemed a little paranoid to me before all of a sudden seems potentially realistic, or at least something you’d want to hedge against,” said Nick Santos, an environmental researcher at the University of California at Davis.

[emphasis mine]

They're hedging against an extreme tail risk. Basically this is the same as why people buy life insurance. It's highly unlikely that you'll die before you turn 60, but if you do the consequences for your family would be huge, thus it makes sense to insure against that scenario.

Same goes here, even an extremely remote threat to irreplacable data is a reasonable thing to guard against.
In fairness, Humans do not drive well in inclement weather.
Why would I want to deal with that hurdle, though? A hurdle that, at any time if they wished, could either come closing down, or get me kicked out?
More power to anybody who's willing to put their children in a car and not pay attention to the road or have control the outcomes of relentless traffic threats all around them.

In my view, all of this technology is much better suited to aid the human driver as a safety enhancement system rather than a full replacement for vehicle navigation.
That's not how the real world of this sort of thing works. Often the firms hired to do this sort of thing are just catching any/all IPs on a tracker without any analysis. Meaning that said IPs can be spoofed, part of a botnet, and so on which makes the accusations based purely on those IPs as purely speculative. It's why certain federal circuits throw them out since the firms are sometimes found to be outright fabricating the logs in question. And more obviously, that an IP address itself isn't evidence that the user was at the device in question or that the device in question was assigned that IP address at the time recorded. Simply put, it's 99% bullshit hearsay worse than that of your office gossiper.
Everyone working on autonomous vehicles is facing a similar issue, and it's also one that human drivers are pretty bad at. Most people solve it by not going outside as frequently with snow on the roads.

Tesla's goal is high fidelity GPS mapping of roads and their landmarks, so that the car can navigate down a lane in the absence of normal visual signals (i.e. clear road markings). It will be interesting to see how everyone else deals with weather conditions, but it's also not a problem that needs to be solved instantly.
Racial discrimination is completely legal in China. Why the hell would anyone want to move to a country where they can legally be discriminated against?
Well, then, I guess we'll see an evening out of talent soon, since things are the same.
Synaptics announces an under-glass fingerprint sensor
Huh, strange. My made up charts say something completely different.
is there a way to sort by just news articles?

similar to how google has "news" and "images"?
I'm not sure what codec those products use, but I wouldn't be surprised if Slack went for Opus. Seems like it's the most popular choice these days, with little competition. (Discord also uses Opus.)
The one thing that I liked (and still like) about IRC is its federated server model. Maybe I need to do more research, but I guess I am assuming that slack is a for-profit company with private servers that they own somewhere that everyone uses ... or am I totally off?
Which personal attacks?

It is just a logical conclusion reading your comment history.
I really like the look of this. One suggestion - keep the amount of characters in the title the same as google (50-60 chars). Most websites optimize for this length and without it you miss some important info in titles.

Also the description for your site needs to be recrawled :)

I've heard rumors that the Skype codebase is a giant mass of unmaintainable code "approaching a singularity" and for this reason alone you wouldn't expect it to be terribly secure. At one time I wondered if I was too paranoid for adding another user account for the sole purpose of running Skype, but I no longer wonder.

That and the fact that OS X security is not fantastic to begin with, and I don't want anything weird showing up in screen sharing with job interviews (say, in search history).
I think it depends on your problem space.
Yes, but... During YCombinator they weren't fundable, so they tried crowdfunding. The article mentions that they crowdfunded a SECOND time because they were unable to raise another round of funding.
The title, well actually the entire article, is one of those things where A -> B is stated, well knowing (and almost expecting) that readers will understand it as B -> A or B <-> A. It's the developer version of the typical "10 Things Successful People Do" clickbait.

Yes, a lot of (although far from all!) good coders have the habit of taking small bites. That doesn't mean though that by taking smaller bites you are (or are becoming) a good coder. I've had the past displeasure of dealing with code that hit all the superficial checkmarks (small commits, unit-tested, peer-reviewed, you name it...) yet completely stunk.
From what I hear, working in government has relatively decent pay, very good compensation at higher levels and a lot of holidays.

Like government work in the USA, but much higher pay and prestige.
I haven't but am considering selling one of the products next year. I plan to go through a Broker.

I had a soft offer in the $3 mil range from a big company for that real estate product I mentioned. They reached out to me. I pretty much blew it off because it was in a growth phase and I felt I could grow it more. 6 months later, the real estate market crashed and that product lost 50% of its revenue within a year. In hindsight, I wish I took that offer a little more serious.
I find that notion very frustrating. 30,000 people die on the road in the US every year and no one seems to bat an eye, a self driving vehicle has one and it's the end of the world. The expectations seems rather unrealistic and the media seems to love creating a controversy.

I agree it is unlikely to work on non-US roads for a while but I can't really blame them for starting in the easiest conditions. It doesn't have to work everywhere at the outset to be useful.
I mean I feel you, but I think speech patterns like that help normalize communication based on who you're talking to and who's doing the talking. Since this is a sort of investor-announcement level press-release style thing, a lot of people would be alarmed if the post started out "Sup yall Dropbox here telling it like it is." Comfort in predictability.
Why wouldn't Toyota just launch Toyotas On Demand? If the cost of the car and fuel are the only significant costs, Toyota could probably do it more cheaply than Uber.

Uber's network effect is its driver network. It will find it a lot harder to compete if you no longer need drivers, when it has to compete with real car companies that could be able to undercut them on cost.
Yes its definitely viable. I started my micro ISV 6 years ago, its been quite successful about $200k/yr. Its very niche. I do no marketing but get regular sales through mainly word of mouth and internet searches. Now some bigger companies have picked up my software and use it in house and OEM it. Took a lot of work to get started and a lot of learning Its difficult for competitors to make something similar in a reasonable amount of time so its got a nice moat around it at the moment. I have no employees and almost no overheads so all revenue is profit. The most useful thing is when other companies build around your product, they provide valuable test / customer feedback which greatly reduces the work load.
Looks to me like there are errors in the transformation. The sum term corresponding to the resulting equation of the proof has a wrong sign in the second summand of the left term (+ instead of -). Also in the original manuscript the right side always starts with a positive alternating series term, which is correct. In the version on the margin the sign of the first term of the right side depends on the evenness of a.
Yes. Since my wife (and all of her immediate birth family, and lots of people I know through her, as well as lots of people I'm close to not through her) fits that description. Some of them even have experience with other immigration systems for comparison.

The US immigration system is far from ideal (especially from the perspective of prospective and not categorically barred immigrants.) It's also much, much better for actual admitted immigrant and non-immigrant foreigners than systems in most of the rest of the world.
> That and the fact that OS X security is not fantastic to begin with.

Which OS do you use/prefer for better security?
What are some of the things you hate about iOS 10? I've also disliked a few changes they've introduced, but after spending more time with the OS, I've discovered that some changes were not as bad as I'd initially considered. It was more a matter of getting used to.

I guess people don't like changes to the things they've grown accustomed to.
Sounds like "Discovery" quadrant more than "Prolific" to me.
So when does the Waymo app come out that I can use to get an autonomous car to drive me to the store?
"I employ a materialist analysis of society" translation: I regurgitate Marx's works.

"and in which the majority of the people have to sell most of their time simply to have food." as opposed to farmers who work 16 hours a day to grow food. Different occupations sell for different value and require different time.

"This is an undeniable fact of reality, and you merely choose to ignore it" a smug way of saying 'I'm right and you're wrong'.

"I mean your entire comment completely lacks substance: what do you even mean by "If the rich have money, they took it from the poor"? Which part of my beliefs are you attacking? It's completely vague." I'm attacking the fundamental assertions of Marx's conflict theory. Redistributing wealth is predicated on the ideology that someone having lots of money is the cause of someone else not having money. So you redistribute it from one person to the other, ignore any rights of the person to their private property.

"> and socialism IS force
This, again, completely lacks substance. Even by bourgeois ideologue standards." - Not only isn't it lacking substance, it's empirically true. Given your next poorly thought out statement...

"The point is to look beyond individual choices" - look beyond individual choices? There is only the individual choice if you have freedom. If I don't have the individual right to choose that means I'm being forced. Hence, socialism IS force.
I used to curse our Notes based document management system with custom approval workflow... Until it was replaced with something better. Man do I miss Notes!! It may have been slow at times, but it did a great job at it's core purpose.
Less of a difference, IMO, than that between either of those blogs and a reputable journalistic outfit.

Spinal stimulator bypasses injury to help patients move hands
Not sure I agree with you, you're saying there's no value dropping the prices.

What the crowdfunding platform was able to do for them was to gamify the process, and reward early adopters. It's part of the reason why they have a great community behind them. They treat their early adopters well.
I agree. Those who insist that one (reasonable) layout is sufficiently better than another enough to bother switching are suffering from confirmation bias.

As far as switching layouts in pursuit of an improvement, I imagine this depends upon the person. In my case, at least, the repeated switching forced a complete break. I could not easily fall into bad habits because I was exerting so much effort just in retraining my finger memory. In this regard it may be more of a brain hack.
It's not about estimates, it's that my output isn't enough to be ahead of my customers' requests, so that they wouldn't have to ask for them, or I wouldn't have to provide a workaround until I develop the specific feature.
Well I certainly care if my commute gets longer regardless of how I'm commuting because there's a lot of things I can't do with my time while I'm commuting.

Lots of plausible deniability, here.
The problem is, if you actually do ever single 'atomic' step even very simple proofs become huge (see formal methods). To avoid this, we use "clearly" to mean something like "obvious t anyone with sufficient training, ie the target audience.

There are two problems with this - if you are trying to obtain that training it may no yet be obvious. Worse, sometimes subtle problems slip through while you are nodding your head!
Options to select output? Sounds like advice from the Rule of Silence.

But.

- People above were just complaining about having to use sed to tweak output. I don't see why they would prefer a built-in filter to an external one. The external filter is far more flexible, and if that isn't enough, you can replace it.

- I'm generally not a fan of applications that tailor their output to what they think the human wants. Unless there is a deeply compelling reason, I want to see the same output on pts/0 as something down the pipeline. The reason for this is that picking up environmental hints to serve as implicit configuration is hacky, subject to error and and can later be the cause of really difficult-to-find bugs.

Perhaps I'm just irredeemably brainwashed. If you like a typed command line, Redmond has your back. For me, wanting types is a signal that I should start considering whatever little shell hack I'm working on complex enough to take it to a language that wasn't designed for ad hoc interactive use.

And at the same time, I really, very much do not want my command line to look like C#.

I get that a lot of folks these days are mostly GUI users who maybe type a little at git or run test suites from the command line, and not much else. I get why things like Powershell are appealing to such folks[1]. But when the command line is your primary interface, strong typing and OO hoop-jumping is huge waste of cognitive energy.

I do feel that Unix, to a first approximation, got the balance somewhere close to right. Loose coupling with lot of shared commonalities instead of a rigid type system and nonexplicit magic works really well for me, and if tighter coupling is a good idea, then I'll build it.

[1] Why they want to radically change the command line instead of using their favorite language to do systems stuff from the comfort of wherever they spend most of their time, I do not get.
There are a ton of formats you can turn into "both a ZIP and X" at the same time, because most formats have a header at the beginning of the file and ZIP has a header at the end. Self-extracting EXEs are really just some standard EXE which is also a ZIP file, so you can use unzip to extract them without having to install WINE or whatever.
Even if it is higher (which apparently it's not), is it high enough to make up for all of the other downsides, specifically the totalitarianism and the pollution?
I still use my HD558s on a very regular basis, including with my phone, but for mobile use that's actually mobile, I'm right there with you - Bluetooth devices do occasionally misbehave in ways that annoy me, but the enormous convenience of not being festooned with wires more than makes up for the occasional transient signal drop. Especially when I'm bundled up in three layers with my phone in my pocket, gloves on my hands, and a beanie or a balaclava on my head. Routing wires is a complex topological problem in these circumstances, and it's nontrivially convenient to just pop an earbud in my ear, start a podcast playing, and go.
In america people love to complain publicly about the government.
the "usual" proof can be found on Wikipedia using the argument of Joseph Fourier (of Fourier series fame) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_e_is_irrational

The idea is the same, that all the truncated series 2 < 1 + 1/2! + 1/3! + ... < 3 lie between two integers can cannot be integer.

This is a different outcome than the geometric series 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 1 which converges to a whole number.

When the API is versioned (and you keep both versions online), you can deploy the update to service B long ahead of when service A needs deployed
I'm curious how SpatialOS compares to Second Life's successors -- Sansar and High Fidelity. I gather that they also allocate processing in a more targeted way, to respond to demand.

P.S. I'm also a huge fan of SL, and look forward to trying out whatever similar world emerges using SpatialOS.
It's very normal for methods in B to return types from C in that scenario though. And if you do remove the dependency on B, you get the error at compile time. So I don't see this as a major problem (it's maybe a problem if something's implicitly activated by reflection, but I see the reflection as the bigger problem there)

It's much easier to coordinate ride sharing when there's an interested third party in place. ad-hoc ride-sharing for a reduces cost could result in the average car traveling at much closer to full capacity much of the time. If you set it up ahead of time, it could even optimize a route that picks up and drops off along an optimal route.

Don't think of it as replacing what historically was walking outside and hailing a cab, think of it as setting up a carpool with office mates except you don't have to know them, and you don't have to work out all the details, it will be handled for you.
I went in 2012, and it was $500. The tickets sell out, so just sign up for their email list.
Yes, they introduced higher storage options, but not until component prices dropped low enough for Apple to maintain their margins at the same MSRP. The iPod had already became a gigantic hit in its own right during the 6 years between the introduction of the iPod 1st Gen and when the iPod Touch brought wireless to the iPod family.

So other than some non-sequitur facts, what's so interesting? CmdrTaco's take is the classic example of tech spec-naysaying by pundits completely misreading demand in the market. Meanwhile, AceJohnny says that it may very well apply here, which remains to be seen.

Network dropouts, OS audio settings, varied browser capabilities / versions, microphone selection issues, limited hard disk space, browser storage quotas, etc.

My new goal is to have every single error or notification have a built-in link that takes them to a solution article. This seems to be effective so far.

Also, doesn't Amazon have unique defenses against this possibility? If sales suddenly fall off a cliff, Amazon has AWS and lots of B2B products that could keep them afloat for a time while they tried to recover.

I had something in mind like, assume that the last line is not a contradiction, then we have c( e- a) on the left and something smaller than one on the right. However, assume the last line is not a contradiction is false, so I can't build the argument atop of it.
You're absolutely right. I was thinking about that while posting my original comment. I wonder if you can ensure that "read/click" is only incremented if the appropriate cookie is present.

That, too, I'm assuming is hackable. Then again, up/down seems as hackable. I mean, the link click is just calling a handler:

<a id="up_13164626" onclick="return vote(event, this, &quot;up&quot;)" href="vote?id=13164626&amp;how=up&amp;auth=08cc6438787bda18f8904afcf50af38e31d34824&amp;goto=reply%3Fgoto%3Dthreads%3Fid%3Ddvdhnt%2313164626%26id%3D13164626#13164626"><div class="votearrow" title="upvote"></div></a>

Perhaps the auth attribute is a random CSRF token, while the end of the href appears to be this comments URL. It seems like we could use the same idea, hijacking the navigation event on the link itself, applying a CSRF/auth token, and incrementing the read/click count. Seems like this would basically be the kind of granular auth allowed by service like Google Docs.

Just spitballing.
