If I was caught carrying marked cards nobody would believe I didn't know. The casino has an entire anti-fraud department which exists to catch this sort of thing and we're supposed to believe they didn't notice this for years...

But that's only half the post you linked to... Importantly, the precedent involving the unshuffled deck didn't involve knowledge. Despite everyone's intentions the game was not setup correctly so it didn't count.

If so, then these games (all games with these decks) were also not setup correctly. Either all games with these cards are improper or none are.

And importantly, nothing other than penalizing the casino will change anything. This ruling incentivizes them to leave marks in their cards, dice, etc, and call them out in the future to invalidate any unpleasant results.
I am restless in bed and can’t sleep because I drank too much coffee and I’m worried about getting up early. By the end of the week I am tired, frustrated, angry, and disappointed with my performance.

The author blames this on a 9-6 schedule. But honestly I think it's way more likely a problem with drinking too much damn coffee. Everything he wrote in that part hit home, i was experiencing it very badly... until I started limiting myself to one big caffeinated drink before lunch a day. It's improved my quality of life a lot, I am tired way less.
If you don't care about the history, you can just squash the merge. Otherwise, it's not like those commits on the topic branch cost you anything, and they might have important context.

I do agree though that my first step would have been merge from master to the topic, or rebase the topic onto master.
Exactly this. Same for pharmaceuticals. This is why a "$5 pill" in Africa is $100 in the US. Medical device makers get sued practically every Tuesday. Anytime someone dies, the chain of liability is a very long one.

It's only fraudulant if you don't report it. And you should charge the highest possible sum you can, IMO, or whatever sum you choose if you're being charitable. In such a hypothetical case - it's your project and so the upper limit is the value you place on your own time and energy. Also, since it's OSS anyway, there is no price set to compete against.

Part of the point of setting a high bar would be to either:

1) receive adequate compensation or
2) get the company that can't afford to pay you to contribute in some other manner

No, the cause of the problem was a process one, but now it's become a technical problem.

That isn't really helpful when someone has already created a git nightmare like what's described here.
Got it, that (and the diesel comment) makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

Definition 2.

In a more substantive tone, I personally see little value in 5 alpha versions. If none of them progressed to beta or an RC stage, they don't really provide much utility. Why would I try to ship a product unsuitable for production? I fail to see value in a product promised, but as of press-time, yet to be delivered.

Regardless, we can simply look at other frameworks to compare. Foundation 6 is out and is pretty solid. There are various material-design inspired frameworks, and more barebone grid systems that do everything bootstrap 4 can do with it's grid system. Did I mention many are lighter-weight and also production ready?

Fair? I don't think so. part of the job and quite common? yes. Legal? yes. Last time I had to put up with it was in California, which has some peculiar work laws to begin with.

And this wasn't while working in a startup either, it was a very well established and large technology company. Pretty much every IT job I've had came with this issue. One particular job required me to be in by 7-730am because we had one user that still had Outlook and she adamantly refused to use anything else, saying that without Outlook she couldn't do her job. (the rest of the company was already on a standard IMAP setup.) So i was expected to be there at the crack of dawn just in case this one user had yet another Outlook problem (she had frequent problems) and I was expected to be available on nights/weekends in case there were server issues too.
I ran into this at other jobs as well. on-call was common, expected, and I was not compensated above my regular pay rate for it. There was no on-call pay. You were just expected to do it.

I had a PDP-11/74 running RSTS that wouldn't boot after Y2K. I think I had to dig around inside it to reset the clock before it would turn on again.

> But reference counting may cause unpredictable pauses when large amounts of objects suddenly need to be freed (e.g. when dropping the last reference to a large array holding many references).

Then again so does manual memory management if you're freeing a large object graph at once.

> At least a carefully written garbage collector can free objects incrementally, and concurrently.

You could get that with refcounting, stashing Rc0 objects in a list of items to free incrementally rather than freeing it all at once and synchronously.

It's a tad more difficult when one realizes they don't believe in the church when they've already gone through most of BYU. Or break the Honor Code by coming out as gay or transgendered (and expressing themselves).

These individuals are not far enough to get a degree, but far enough so that they'd lose years of effort if they were to be kicked out. Depending on the situation, BYU doesn't allow you to keep your transcript for transference to another university, which is difficult enough as it is.
Maybe they believed in the church when they joined. Maybe they didn't and they were simply pressured in by family or friends (all of your Mormon friends are going to BYU, so why shouldn't you?)
I've seen the "kicked out and can't transfer" happen on two separate occasions, one of which was a good friend, from these policies and for differing reasons.

I'm aware that's simply how the rules work.
I'm saying the rules suck.
To these people, it seems like they're saying "You decided to be who you are and stop lying to everyone that you believe? Well good luck with life, because we're going to make it as difficult for you as possible."
Whereas, if they continued lying and went to church every week, and told the bishop "Yeah, I've paid full tithing. Yeah, I still believe in the Church.", they'd not have any of these problems. Dishonesty is being rewarded. It's not just the going to church. It's the requirement of belief, which can change over time and can screw people over that none of these other universities' codes of conducts would otherwise do (barring extreme circumstances).

Apparently there have been some recent changes, though, for people who leave the church while at BYU:

When people talk about how their pets are acting funny, I always wonder whether they realize that it's because of the boring habitat their pets have been put in. Asking them about it is delicate because it implies that their pet might be unhappy about its situation.

I'm with ya; I don't see the evil in just force pushing head back to where it was before though -- do you really need 800 useless commits in the history when you're going to just be adding the code back in sanely later anyway?

Reverting them seems a bit more risky to be than just rebuilding it properly -- you'll need to write some scripts to make sure you got all the commits and then the whole dev team is going to end up pushing commits which unrevert your reverts just so you can then rebase the feature branch..

Sometimes push -f is the best option ;)
From a quick look on eBay, you can pick up a vetinary ultrasound machine for between £800 and £2000. Are these materially different to medical ones, or is the cost difference down to certification?
Also if possible include a unit test in the PR, maybe even in a separate commit.

For example, let's say I'm a project maintainer and I get a PR with two commits. The first commit just adds a test case, and Travis has marked the build for that commit as failed. The second commit includes a fix for that case and Travis shows that the tests pass when run on that commit. That's the sort of PR I can confidently merge without even having to leave GitHub's web UI.
No wonder infrastructure gets hacked all the time. You'd think they'd at least go to embedded systems instead of using old PC's for these roles.
There was a paper I read some years ago about a music student analyzing modern trance music, how it relates to ancient tribal music, and how both relate to the brain. It also explained the mechanism behind the "drop", how the drop is caused by the brain anticipating it and then getting a reward for a good prediction, just like you feel nice when you can predict a twist in a movie or an ad.

What I am saying is that I think that what makes 4/4 so prevalent today is that it is somehow deeply connected to how our brains work, and if you consider popular music subject to Darwinian pressures, it is likely that 4/4 is the most "evolved" one (from a fitness view).

Anyway, I think that in 10 years we will be passing all of our music through a deep neural network, and then ask the network to create new things, like invent a new number one hit, cultural style, or create a new work in the style of Beethoven.
They didn't, but by doing so they ensured much better policies for that period. It's clear based on what the government is doing now that the liberal democrats firmly kept them in check and gave us a few years of much better governance.

As to the second part, this often stated thing about the pledge on tuition fees - they were the junior partner in a coalition - expecting them to somehow be able to uphold all their policies in that situation is insane.

They took the sane route and compromised to make sure that the situation was better, apparently people will only accept zealous idealism and pragmatism is wrong. They held a louder voice in the role they had, and used it to ensure better policies from the government in that period.

They made the best play, results-wise. That apparently doesn't matter to the voting public.
Some things did break on Jan 1st 2000. We found that our 16 bit Windows client failed (blocked) SSL validation, and that some customers still used the 16 bit client!

(It wasn't the certificate having a date in the future which they will all have done for around a year at that point. It was getting the local time and using that to decide if the certificate was valid.)
Do they actually sample the baseband digitally?

I would expect that they are looking at the return as an amplitude modulated and phase-shifted signal at the carrier frequency. They remove the carrier frequency and then look at the (much slower) modulation frequency.

I'm not sure what you gain from looking directly at the carrier frequency...
I would say that France may have it right.
Because it's selfish. Your time isn't more valuable than that of the developers already working against that branch (and as stated in the article, there were hundreds). It's your job to merge your changes cleanly.
This is the key - separate office. I've been working from home for 7+ years. My wife and I homeschool our 7 kids. They all know when dad is in the office, he's working and the only interruption I allow is a request for a hug. When I take breaks, we have fun, get rowdy, and help with school work and chores. But when dad's in the office, he's working (even if I'm just burning cycles on HN!)

That was the section I stalled at --- the author doesn't explain why the transactions don't help, just states that they don't, and provides a diagram with no context. I don't understand what they're getting at here.

Surely as soon as one transaction tries to modify the database, it'll lock out all other reads to the affected rows from other transactions, so as to prevent them observing changed data until the transaction's committed? So avoiding the entire problem? Isn't this the entire reason transactions exist?

Edit: I haven't actually used PostgreSQL; I grew up on SQLite. I see from the docs that SQLite transactions are all serializable, which from the linked article seems to be what you get with PostgreSQL's BEGIN ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE. So... if by default PostreSQL's transactions aren't like this, what are they? If they're not serializable, then aren't they simply broken, i.e. not enforcing the transactions properly?
> Rust as a language is now realizing the benefits of borrow checking. As the article points out, the syntax doesn't have to distinguish between move and assign. The borrow checker will catch a reuse of something already moved away. This turns out to be effective enough in practice that the syntax distinction isn't necessary. That wasn't obvious up front.

Could you say a bit more about what you mean by "now"? You write like it's a recent realisation but (as linked in the parent article) it was "discovered"/described/promoted more than 4 years ago: http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/10/01/move... .

Precisely, which lays waste to this cast-off comment, which sounds right, but is completely wrong: " Stradivari’s and Guarneri’s craftsmanship, copying their wood choice, geometry and construction methods. But their efforts have met with little success."

In fact, their efforts have met with great success and by all accounts within the field, we're presently living in the second "Golden Age" of violin making.
Funny. I use Firefox on my Arch system, and at times I had to stop and remove tabs because they were becoming an unorganized mess (>600 tabs). I've never had much issues with responsiveness unless some particular website I've opened locks up, and with tab groups and tab load only on click, I can easily manage a lot of tabs without much memory use.

You could try checking your RAM, I used to have an issue with FF crashing quite frequently, but found that it was part of a larger issue of having corrupt RAM on board.
You're right. I was thinking about Scheme when I wrote part of that comment, EuLisp in another part, Common Lisp in another, Le-Lisp in yet another, and my writing wound up being pretty muddled. I apologize for the confusion. I need to work on improving the clarity of my communication. Part of the problem is that I view comments on the Web very casually, a conversation, but that's not really the right way to approach it due to the differences in format. Anyway, thanks.

P.S., I was playing with TXR a bit last week after you mentioned it in another thread on here somewhere. After I got to the web site, I recognized it and recalled playing with it a tiny bit quite some time ago (at least a year ago, possibly much longer). Anyway, it's really neat. If I get some spare time sometime soon, I'm going to try and pick it up a bit more because it seems like the kind of thing that will come in very handy at the command line.

The ideas in TXR seem really novel to me. Did you come up with that form of pattern language, or did you nab it from somewhere else? The closest thing I can think of is SNOBOL, but TXR is much nicer to use than SNOBOL.
It is simply not true that there is no legislative basis for the EU prosecuting Ireland. The relevant document is the "Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union", especially article 107 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A1...), which is quite explicit about what is allowed and what is not in terms of government subsidies:

"Save as otherwise provided in the Treaties, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market."

Taxation is explicitly mentioned in the text as a form of subsidy, hence the EU does not overreach when it tries to enforce the regulations that the member states have agreed upon. It is of course debatable when a taxation is too low, but an effective tax rate of 0.005 percent provides enough evidence of a hidden subsidy to justify the punishment (IMHO).

I'm almost wondering if the product line is in doubt, or if Apple is actually getting out of that business.

I'm almost thinking that they might shift things towards the Apple TV as a "Apple Home" kind of thing. Hard to tell.

If i was going to replace the Airport Extreme that I have, I would be going with a Ubitiqi edge router of some sort and one of their access points. The stuff seems well supported and has a decent community behind it, in addition to being reliable and making the pretty graphs that I want. :-)
I hadn't thought of that as a serious possibility, but a friend and I considered writing a novel on it.

The basic idea was that a bunch of US weapons systems wouldn't work due to Y2K - things like ballistic missile navigation. So the US was frantically trying to get all this patched so that they would have a credible defense after Y2K. The Chinese knew this, and launched on New Years Day...

... and completely missed, because they had used borrowed Russian code for their ballistic missile navigation. The Russians had stolen US ballistic missile navigation code, which had the Y2K issue in it.

Left my work computer to go to my personal computer only to reply and upvote your comment. I have worked for and managed teams in both shared office and remote companies. I could hardly say what you said any better myself.

I think the nature of what companies are best fits for remote work, and how best to mitigate the loss of passive information sharing/lower bandwidth of subtle communication cues would be a great subject for a book or article.

My short version would be: it primarily solves a recruiting problem in extremely difficult to recruit for fields, takes advantage of a bit of arbitrage in some people's utility of remote work (introvert, commute, family, etc), and information needs to be overshared (more meetings than one might prefer, more documentation, more explicit processes, etc).
This actually sounds workable. One other thing that is clear is that a 5-day onsite 40 hour work-week is not productive. IMO a 4-day week split between office and home would be way more productive.
Right move. We need to push forward.
Then you should be rebasing the branch often from master so that this is less painful when the flip happens. If there is an army of devs working on the same repo then it should be communicated out really obviously. If a dev is planning on submitting code that'll be merged after the massive branch gets into master then they can just rebase from the feature branch and any conflicts should be fixed in those branches...
You're 100% correct, though some of his sitting on the toilet thoughts might not make it to the public. What the news, when its being done correctly, does is provide surrounding context to interpret the remarks. This is valuable even for normal politicians as, it bears repeating, it is impossible for the population as a whole to be informed on every issue, and most people aren't informed on even a few. Low information constituents will misinterpret remarks without context.

It also encourages him to publicize views that can withstand press scrutiny. The outrageous stuff we see on Twitter might have been self censored if he had to tell it to a skeptical press that will place them in context.

Prior presidents have been very circumspect in what they say, which has reduced the pressure on this point. Extreme situations pressure us to discard gray areas. In order to maintain a healthy civic discourse, we need everyone to cooperate more and be more generous to the other side, but this can't be done unilaterally or you just get steamrolled.
I also work in health care, and also am using JSON columns in Postgres to store some "schemaless" (in the sense that the schema is not fixed in advance and subject to change over time) data in a convenient way. There's a serialization mapper that turns it into a normalized structure for some types of consumption, but the source of truth is the JSON column and the normalized structure is generated from it.
