> Personally, I find CS, in trying to validate itself as a "science" (which it is not, no scientific method, just like maths isn't science, but still valuable)

Science can mean different things to different people. While in the english speaking world it is often equated to "natural science" this not the case for all languages.

Take the famous Gauss quote for example: "Mathematica regina scientiarum est et theoria numerorum regina mathematicae est."

In german, CS (Informatik) is widely regarded as a "structural science".

You may disagree with the method and whether it is effective or not, but if the goal is to stop sex trafficking then that indeed should be a high priority.
Dating sites and apps like Tinder are designed with hookups and casual sex in mind, not real relationships. As others have said, meeting someone through friends is generally the best way, at least in my experience. Expand your social circle, go to meetups and events that interest you and you'll meet interesting people.

Another thing: Don't limit your options to other techies. While it may seem like a good idea to be with someone who likes everything you like and works in the same field as you, that can actually get boring fast if there's little chemistry beyond a shared interest. My wife is not a techie by any definition and we rarely talk about hardware hacking and futurism (my main interests) because she would be bored to death. Otherwise, we have a lot of shared interests, and our philosophical and political views mesh well.

We "met" via a mutual friend who knew both of us well enough to know we'd make for a great couple, and she encouraged us both to start talking long distance. When we finally met in person, we had already gotten past the awkward "so what do you like to do" phase, and it made dating easier and less stressful.
Ask HN: How do you monitor MySQL queries?
I want to monitor the queries which impact performance on a very busy (Percona) Galera cluster. I've yet to find a monitoring tool which can handle this. What do you use?
Removing compiling issues, keeping everything in one language. Plus, when you do, you find bugs. We've found a bunch in lapack implementing gonum (godoc.org/github.com/gonum/lapack)
In my case, this image is a far better fovea detector than the propsed shader. For medical issues (high intraocular pressure), I'm used to doing field of view tests, where I have to spot very faint dots of light against uniform backgrounds, and over the years this has resulted in me being used to spotting small variations (either in brightness or movement) in the "outer" part of my FoV.

Long story short, I don't see a sharp edge where the stars don't rotate in the shader, but on the "static" image I'm aware that there are dots that I'm not seeing (most I can get to see is 4 at a time by looking at the diagonal crossings).
Yeah it's getting pretty worrying, they're just trying to turn the web into their platform in every way.
It's only a coincidence that the most vocal opponents to this proposal each receive a paycheck from Google?

I'm starting to wonder why these TC's have so many Google employees, and you can claim it's because "they hire a lot of smart programmers", but the ratio of Googlers to not is way too high to represent the web development community as a whole - the majority of whom do NOT work for Google.
They may not "support" it, but they would have to do a lot of work to prevent it, since the Linux and Windows implementations are identical. An application cannot tell the difference.
If you want to see the page as it's currently being rendered, looking in the developer tools seems more relevant anyway.
According to a NASA page I read, we are roughly 300 years away from cataclysmic climate change - in 50 years - science will have capabilities we cannot even begin to imagine today.

Everyone is already aware of the issues involved - so alarmism isn't needed.

Electric cars and fusion power are already visible on the horizon.

Lastly there are at least two guys claiming to be about to get their papers past peer review that replaces current climate models with warming estimates 4 times lower than current models - regarsless - current facts do not indicate reason for hysteria - merely awareness.
I don't think it looks ugly, but I'm also not overly enamoured of it. But it's free, available, coherent and familiar to users.
I prefer the ISC license over MIT or BSD, because it is equivalent to them, but even shorter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license
Misleading headline. Does not talk about performance per say. Less customer interest.
No, it's not wrong to start charging.

You could make some of the chapters available for free, and offer the full version for a price. That will give potential buyers a preview of the content and help them to decide whether to purchase the full version. Good luck.
Probabilistic Poetry: Seasons
Based on the comments in the linked thread, its sounds as if all participating companies have that same veto power. The justification seems to favor filtering false positives over false negatives in a sense. I suppose I can agree with that.
I've met a lot of people who "couldn't" find a job.

What they usually mean is "they can't find a job in the area they want, in the industry they want, doing the kind of work they want, at the salary they want, working for someone else."

This is a highly overconstrained search. If / when people loosen one or more of these constraints, they're opportunities open right up.

Like everyone, I prefer to get exactly what I want.

...but it doesn't always play out that way.

When I've needed work and my dream job isn't there, I've worked in garbage industries, on crappy projects, at places that are long commutes, etc., and I've been swamped with work for 25 years.
It's better to use unminified scripts.
that sounds like more of a function of reddit than amoral behavior.

ultimately you worked hard on something, and there's no shame in seeking recompense (pretty standard whether you're doing something commercial or open source)
Now audit each cup-filling in a database.

(Easy in an imperative system, painful in a functional one where you have to start passing monads around and caring how many times the cup is constructed rather than how many cups you end up with.)
I also read that as Google will refuse to implement features if it doesn't get it's way in how they are designed.

Perhaps the people providing the Environment shouldn't be the people designing the language?

Google is very quickly turning into 1990's Microsoft.
I know the difference between pensions and social security.

I also know that some of the commenters in this thread are talking about pensions without distinguishing between public and private pensions.

I also know that there is an enormous amount of capital in the form of public pensions and that public pensions are often invested with relatively few restrictions compared to private pensions. (At least in the US?)
I believe best practice is to sort out which of your CSS is needed to render above-the-fold content, separate that out into a smaller file, and serve that higher in the page or even inline it. The rest of the CSS can be served at the bottom, with the JavaScript.

If anyone has a better plan, I'm all ears!
This is another politician conspiring to raise taxes to enlarge government, harm small businesses, and kill jobs.

Wait. The guy that wants this is a Republican? WTF?
I can never figure out people's motivations in ancient texts. The brazen bull article goes like this:

King: Design me a bull that I can roast people in and that will smell of incense and make people's screams sound like a bull's roaring.

Inventor: Lo, I have designed precisely such a beast: the bellowings of the roasted man are converted into melodious roars.

King: Fuck me that's disgusting. Put him in the bull and roast him, I kinda want to hear. I guess I browse /r/watchpeopledie too much.

Inventor: Alas, I'm burning!

King: Wait wait, take him out before he dies. I'm gonna put in the extra 10% and throw him off a cliff instead.

NO sense.
My phone also has the insane 3GB of RAM, but last week Chrome killed Spotify and vice versa (music stopped playing) as soon as I switched apps. Sadly 3GB is not enough for Android and todays apps.
What if you also targeted a virtual machine with a Ruby meta-level? Some care would need to be taken to ensure that the two were equivalent, but this should be commensurate with ensuring JIT and bytecode execution in some existing environments is equivalent.
Stopping people from looking at porn is, at best, orthogonal to sex trafficking.

This is a bunch of religious zealots trying to control others under the guise of humanitarianism. It's a classic technique: who can argue with sex trafficking as a cause? So just wrap up hideous legislation in that disguise.
Building Better Teams with Asynchronous Workflow
It has to do with lazily loading assets, but not actually having the critical styles inlined. It's something that I had before launch, but ultimately did not like how it was done so I removed it. It's also not a product of the framework, just where I choose to load assets in the docs for pagespeed. They can easily be moved into the head and all of that is resolved.
Given "stop sex trafficking" usually means "empower the police to harass and often rape sex workers", I really don't want any legislature prioritising it.

I'd recommend reading up on sex workers' rights movements - you'll find that, in general, "anti-trafficking" operations mostly hurt the very people they're claiming to protect while appealing to people's prudishness to deny the agency of the women in question when they dare to disagree.
Observation: their CA is Let's Encrypt
Heads up that the goaccess in Ubuntu's universe repo is woefully out of date, so DON'T apt-get install it. Download and build from source - you'll get a much better experience.

I've noticed this with several other packages in universe recently too, it seems to be updated much less than you'd expect. It's a community-maintained repo, but you'd think the Ubuntu community is large enough to stay on top of some of this stuff. As it stands, the redis in universe on 14.04 has had unpatched security issues for at least 2 years.
Is turnabout fair play? Would he make his next paycheck contingent on whenever he gets around to shipping something useful? The company would pay him when the company benefits from his work--not before.

That's called "piecework", and I suspect he wouldn't go for that kind of deal. I suspect that he wants to get paid regardless of whether he ships or not. Why? Because his mortgage company and his grocery clerk and his power company are peculiarly unresponsive to the suggestion that he only works on "medium to large sized meaningful tasks" for which it is "impossible to produce meaningful estimates".

He is asking for a company to be his patron, with him as the artist. If he can get a job on the basis of the Longflow Manifesto, then more power to him. He's obviously passionate about his craft, and I respect that. Unfortunately, the company has ongoing expenses to pay just like he does, and from his manifesto, I doubt he gives two hoots about that.

We are not playing games here. Money is at the root of every big coding project--the really fun and important stuff, the stuff that makes you grow as a programmer. You want to play in the big leagues with us? Come on up. But I warn you: you must ship.

Of course I want you to learn. Of course I want you to not ship crap. But you and me and everyone else must find a way to do that and SHIP, my friend, and we MUST do it in weeks rather than months. Because that's how the company can survive, compete, and ultimately afford to pay for your chair and your bagel. In the LONG term.
I think you misunderstand me.

Yes, sysadmins have always written the glue between disparate systems, implemented monitoring, etc using bash, and now more than ever, python. But now DevOps roles are expected to (in my experience) lean closer to closer to application reliability engineers; not only must you perform admin tasks, and write tools to automate infra tasks, but you must also dive into app code at a moments notice when shit is broken.
Completely agree, it is one of the most important things I'm working on right now, fleshing out each components API with additional functionality.
> who can argue with sex trafficking as a cause?

Anybody who thinks the police raping prostitutes is a bad thing.
fp is the opposite of magical because it is essentially math, 100% predictable (follows laws) and all things composed of simple primitives
Absolutely but in the short term you have to buy your raw materials at a cost that is now much higher (temporarily) which can be a nasty shock for companies and something we've seen here.
Started with CityDesk (from FogCreek software), and migrated to wordpress (with a lot of 301s to keep old content indexed).

I stay away from flame wars and actively attempt to see the whole picture.

My experience is my own, viewing students confront different languages and just looking at it all grow. I'm biased towards myself, heh.

I certainly agree that haskell is awesome. And I know what you're Trying to say.. We're Sadly educated to prefer a certain syntax, and many programmers are still bad at math, bar a devoted and lucky core.
When the people designing the language are the same people providing the implementation, it leads to vendor lock in.

Remember Microsoft in the 1990's, remember the massive Antitrust case about IE?
I recognized that you think it's a slippery slope, I'm not sure what you think I'm not getting.

I do believe that you can tell store fronts not to market literal gasoline as a restorative tonic without automatically escalating to violent raids. As far as I can tell, a rule against marketing gasoline as a restorative falls afoul of the standard you declare in your first sentence. People aren't very comfortable shrugging and not doing anything about perceived problems (illicit distribution of the restorative gasoline), but we'd be better off if we did that more often.

(I do understand that the example is ridiculous because there is no demand for a restorative gasoline tonic amongst competent adults, it's just that there is ample evidence that people want some assurances about safety. A less ridiculous example would be requiring people buying cocaine to go through some sort of educational material that made the risk of forming a habit clear, and regulating the manufacture of the cocaine that is eventually sold so that it is not adulterated)
I don't use SQL that much in my day to day work but I have a need that Windowing will satisfy. Thanks to @mariuz for submitting this.

I use Oracle mostly so I don't even have to worry about syntax differences.
> The problem is that it's divided over a billion people. UK has a significantly smaller population.

UK also is significantly smaller in size too. Just in case, the population density of England is higher than that of India.
I agree with the part about everybody being in their own bubble (and I find my comment that you replied to rather cringe-y now in its implication otherwise), but I'm not sure about the part where my statement has not "proven to have value" outside my own bubble. I'm not totally sure what that means, but from my perspective, it is valuable to know when the things you say are disrespectful to a different set of people than the ones you usually interact with.

Isomorphic web apps with Rum
Simply for semantics, as they are done with functional components. As far as layouts, you do not have to use them, they are just an added feature to help the prototyping and build phase.
All the content is open source entirely on Github and readable, I have gone out of the way so that the content can be easily readable both online and offline, I also have made video tutorials on because I was requested on reddit, which I am divided where to publish, youtube or somewhere else, any thoughts on that?
Has anyone checked if this is fake news site? It seems hard to believe...
I live in South Carolina and I'm trying to find way to get this into the news. It starts with this, and then other things get added. I think before the state can introduce a bill such as this, they need to prove their claims beyond a shadow of a doubt. I agree that human trafficking is a huge deal, but this isn't the solution. I hate to invoke the gun owners argument but I think it could hold weight here--People are going to find out a way to get around this if they intend to traffic humans, this stops nothing.

The reality is that this state has bound many laws to the ideals of the church for far too long and deep down I feel that this is what it's really about. Taking the approach of "guilty until proven innocent" is ridiculous.

Offtopic but related to this brand of republican: These are some of the same politicians that are freaking out because Charleston, SC is being more and more blue. They have openly started legislating to try and keep population boom from turning the state blue in future elections.
"the Human Trafficking Prevention Act would require manufacturers or sellers to install digital blocking capabilities on computers and other devices that access the internet to prevent the viewing of obscene content."

What does plain vanilla adult materials have to do with child trafficking????!

And how will it make children safer if a simple tax can get around it?

You gotta question the motives here
>I have no doubt North Carolina PC stores are excited, though.

Can you clarify what this means?
He's not an engineer though, at least from what I read in the article. He wrote:

> I was still able to get customer support position quickly, learning skills on the job

> My background in IT and customer support, both considered the bottom rung at most tech companies, meant that I was expendable

So it seems he didn't really have higher qualifications, working in customer support, which is nowadays often outsourced and probably underpaid.

I feel sympathy for the author, but at the same time one thing that I miss from the article is whether he tried to raise his qualifications in any way. Did he try other market segments? Picked up any courses? Broadened his education in any way in the time he was unemployed? The market is saturated with unqualified workers so it's really not so shocking that people are having hard time finding work.
I have made a lot of window function converts. It's amazing how many devs don't know about them. When I see a whole series of CASE statements + subqueries, it is almost always possible to dramatically simplify the query with one or more window functions.
Personally, I doubt it. Feels like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rep says: "It's to stop human sex trafficking save children!"

History says: "It's to push my religious agenda and reduce the privacy and freedoms of the populace under the guise of helping the disenfranchised"

My name has an ï in it - this does not seem to recognise it.

But it does seem to pronounce Aneurin Bevan (a Welshman who founded the NHS) correctly so pretty good!

There are many videoclips on Youtube but some of the pronunciations are totally inaccurate.

Very nice and clean.
> If personal possession and consumption stopped being a crime, that would effectively end the War on Drugs overnight.

Well, sure, the current way it's being done. But you'd still have cartel warfare for selling territory, adulterated goods, and to effectively shut down distributors, you'd have to define smaller and smaller amounts of substance as qualifying for "dealing", as dealers learned what they could and couldn't get away with. Perhaps I should not have used the capital-letter "War on Drugs" to refer to this. But you would still have much of what you have now.

Now, would it be net improvement if enforcement of drug laws moved towards a dealers-and-manufacturers model? Sure, I think so. But my point is that there would still be no principle in place preventing that model from expanding again into a broader prohibition, involving new substances, posessions, uses, or what have you. It would be like saying "we'll have free speech, except if it's bad, or we don't like the person saying it, or some other reason that we might think up later." There's no sufficiently strong principle preventing prohibitions from continually increasing.

> I honestly have a lot more sympathy for an addict, or a bystander, whose life was destroyed by the state, then I do for his heroin dealer. I think most people opposing the War on Drugs on grounds other then ideological anarcho-capitalism share this assessment.

That's probably true. However, I don't think sympathy is an effective basis for judging whether things should be legal. And if observing that a government with an expansive power to ban things will probably use and aggrandize that power makes me an anarcho-capitalist (rather than, say, just a boring classical liberal) then so be it.
That is correct. It can just be a pain to do intuitively as all sites are different. Vuetify Documentation runs off of the vuetify webpack-ssr vue cli template which I recently removed that functionality.
Also good ideas with a lot of value don't imply good businesses. As an example, just look at GitHub financial numbers. Another issue is the scale that makes your idea profitable, it is almost impossible to sustain growth like Facebook or Amazon did before you make a dime and they were excellent ideas with great business execution. In the past a music concert with 10k people will be enough to sustain artists, now you can have one million viewers in YouTube and receive a tiny amount in comparison.
My experience with moderating large communities and, mainly, my inability to define bigotry to any satisfactory degree. I certainly urge you to give it a go, maybe you'll be able to solve the problem for all of us.

Hell, I can't even ballpark where your freedom to speak ends and my freedom to not feel bad starts.
FTFA:

> The bill also would prohibit access to any online hub that facilities prostitution and would require manufacturers or sellers to block any websites that facilitate trafficking, Chumley said.

At this point, I'm thinking to myself, "South Carolina is a hotbed of human trafficking?!"

> “The human trafficking thing has exploded. It’s gotten to be a real problem,” Chumley said.

> State officials have categorized the Upstate as a hotbed for human trafficking due to its location on Interstate 85 between Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C., two cities that consistently rank among the top 20 for human sex trafficking in the U.S.

Oh.

Yeah, it's a stupid solution, but he says that's not the point. It's to draw attention to the problem.

Cassandra really isn't a columnstore in the same sense that the word is used for OLAP systems. In the latter, efficient queries can be run across lots of values in a small number of columns across many rows. In Cassandra, queries spanning many rows are not particularly efficient. Sometimes wide-column tables are used for OLAP-type use cases in Cassandra, but that's something of a different approach.
