This generally isn't an issue as a carrier unless it can be shown that the carrier was aware (or should have been aware) of the cargo.

FWIW, I've dealt with firearms being accidentally shipped to Canada. They were on a freight dock in Toronto before anyone realized. We (the carrier) were levied a fine and we shipped them back to the US without further incident. Being that it was self-reported, they didn't even send someone out.
Yes, this is very much a matter of personal taste rather than good practice.
I don't think programmers believe any of the video decoding falsehoods; not because they know any better, but because they know they don't know.

Also, none of these unfounded preconceptions make intuitive sense, so I don't see why people would believe them.
By "eliminate that middleman" do they mean "become that middleman"?

Read "undefined behavior" as "depending on architecture and compiler". It's not like anything can happen, but it's simply not to describe every architecture and every compiler into a standard. Sure, somebody is free to write an implementation where a nuke is launched every time "undefined behavior" is encountered, and they would be right according to C standard, but in real world, you pretty much know what to expect on a given system.
Protip: for "strange" characters, see the -0 argument to xargs. If the file list comes from find, see the -print0 argument there.

What is your opinion on some of the issues? I see the project seems dead, and some of the simple issues like fixing the frame buffer instructions, and replacing external with extern. I'd love to get into OS dev, and help make this 'book' better, but it seems dead and no one has taken the time to fix such issues
I would hope a practicing programmer would realize that sizeof is a keyword and evaluated at compile time, and use that. I don't consider this article to be an example of something that you should consider putting in your codebase; but an investigation into some of the language's rules.
I work for a company that ships a lot of stuff. If uber freight is cheaper and more reliable than the shippers we use today, then why wouldn't we use it?

I don't see anything new here though. It's just a matter of them making the same-old-thing more convenient (which is basically all the Uber car service is).
Airbus says is Air taxis will have big advantage over Larry Page's flying cars
What I meant is, that modern systems programming languages (like Rust for example) can avoid various issues by using all that was learned in programming languages design until today. C can't do that since it's stuck with its legacy requirements. This is quite an objective downside, and not just a matter of taste.
This is my fear about Elon Musk. In a darker timeline he turns out to be a genius gambler who was always upping the ante and getting involved in increasingly diverse ventures, each one bolder and riskier than the last. Each venture is leveraged off the previous one, but the older ventures continue to exist in parallel with the newer ones.

Finally, in 2038, the ever-expanding Musk Bubble pops. It had to eventually. No bubble can expand indefinitely when pressurized by constant application of Musk Force (designated by Μμ, or /Mu/mu in LaTeX, although the more interesting number is Musks over time (Μμ/s), assuming a constant Μμ/s^2). I hope this is not that timeline.

In a lighter timeline, 100 years from now he's remembered as a Thomas Edison-like historical figure who helped make space travel a reality. Hopefully that's our timeline, I just don't know.
It's a very small unification, and a big, eye-catching claim.

Besides, I said "aims", not "succeeds"! :)

I certainly don't think this is The Big Solution, tho. It's far more mundane. Unifying the techniques is nice, but all that means is that we don't have to think about GOFAI and ML as fundamentally distinct. It doesn't mean that any truly deep problems have been solved, just that there's now a reasonably reliable way to use both that isn't just "simultaneous" but rather "fused".
This is a correct description of the current situation. But maybe we never explored it? Many fields which were not considered good investment opportunities, are now bringing nice returns.
Honestly - no, I don't know what happens. Can you tell me? I mean without any modifications that would specifically covert that power into heat, what would happen with the lines cut? Something like the turbines melting, or welding themselves to the structure?

Yes, you used "hyperbolic" to describe your proposed solution. Your justification of it (in your followup) shouldn't be, and that is what I was responding to. Attributing exaggerated opinions to others is one way discussions get derailed.

As for criminal penalties for poachers, I'd want to learn a lot more about the situation before weighing in. That said, prison can serve multiple purposes, one being a deterrent, and another, preventing future infractions by removing the individual from society. The latter is congruent, at least in part, with your desire that they don't poach.

Is the restaurant industry in need of saving, from a restaurant owner's or diner's perspective?

I'm fully on the "tipping is terrible for everyone involved" side, but I wonder if the framing here is based on anything.
Actually, I looked that up because that's what I remembered using as a "DOS alternative". Seems like it was actually just a shell replacement, leaving the actual OS stuff (such as handling INT 21h requests) to the underlaying OS, whether DOS, Windows or OS/2.

I guess wee me back in the day didn't know the difference :)
I think git was written to be distributed, hence merge being a front-and-center feature, but it is used as with a centralized repo (github/gitlab).

This leads to the UX that was initially planned becoming unwieldy. I think most organizations default to no-merge, rebase-and-commit-only mode, with master acting as the central branch to push to.

Hence what git needs to improve it's UX to a newcomer is to help define a repository to be in a "no-merge", and then help translate user's following actions:

git init

<make changes>

git commitchanges

<this lists current changes, and tracked, untracked files, and asks which are to be commited, and makes the commit>

git push

<pushed changes to origin .. automatically rebases, and prompts the user for any conflicts>

git pull

<pulls changes, automatically rebases, and prompts for any conflicts>

I'm convinced the entire workflow related to merges, and non-centralized features are what cause UX confusion for a new user.

No. With sources as heavily compressed as DVD, you never want to recompress them. Rip the original stream and keep it.

Of course, ripping DVDs is pretty silly these days if there's an HD source available.
editorialized title. Tsk.

the tipping situation sucks, but the larger economic problem is effectively due to rent extraction by the landlord. when a restaurant can't afford the rent that, say, a bank can, they are effectively priced out of the market. All excess returns and up going to the land owner. This effectively becomes a variant of baumol's cost disease. Once again, return on capital trumps return on labor.

I remember, many years ago, living in Manhattan: in a short period of time, for restaurants on each corner of an intersection were replaced with four banks. A vibrant spot died.
B4RN connects to the Internet backbones in Manchester, some 70 miles away. While it is possible in rural locations to do the same, rural locations do not have many access points, very few providers to select from and no Internet Exchanges.

Backbone providers don't have to give you access, but they will sell to you, provided there is a way to connect you.

Backbone providers sell you IP transit, which is a very competitive market in well connected locations. The problem is to get to those well connected locations. You often pay far more (like 10x) for the transport to that location than for the actual IP transit.

Darcs was mostly a failure because no-one, not even the original author, could satisfactorily explain its patch model - whereas git's patch model is simple and easy to understand. That has nothing to do with Haskell.

Some companies work and hire on the "trends"[1] — MEAN stack guy, Elasticsearch ninja. Some companies give more weight to technical soundness and discount the Fleeting Fad of Flashy Frameworks. They focus on solving problems — even if imperfectly so. Although, the job descriptions would sound daunting (they did to me two years back) but in my view, every company that falls in category two should be willing to hear from you. Sincerity, communication, curiosity and great work ethic go long way compared to scant experience in a particular framework.

A cursory look at the everyday applications that companies get would make you realise how you are far ahead of the curve. I would advice you to not get intimated by job requirements and start applying. If they don't reply, try following up (don't worry you are not intruding). Try reaching out to your network if anyone is up for hiring. Get comfortable doing interviews and meeting people. And don't get discouraged by rejections. Companies, after all, are run by people who have their own biases and idiosyncrasies. They might pick up the wrong impression or you might get rejected for a reason that is far disconnected from your coding ability.

Yes. Uber Freight is basically a freight brokerage that's being operated at break-even levels:

> UberFreight, which would not control the trucks it relies upon to move customers' freight, is building in only a 5-percent average margin for its net revenue per transaction, according to another person familiar with the matter. On average, net revenue, defined as the revenue a broker generates after its cost of purchased transportation, is around three times that for established brokers. UberFreight's other costs would then be subtracted from its net revenue threshold, leaving the brokerage business either to operate at break-even levels or be a loss leader for the San Francisco-based parent.

The stunts are to get press headlines. Fortunately trucking and freight are a bit too boring for the ordinary consumer to relate to.

Their customers, corporations guarding themselves against risk want every checkbox checked and rechecked twice. That's why its no surprise they're not pulling off stunts here.
Any scientific research to back this up ? Genuinely curious but slightly skeptical.

This is why I support the land-value tax.

Landlords would only be taxed on the value of their land and not the property they're building.

They're heavily incentivized to develop as much as possible to pay tax, since land-value tax doesn't care about the cost of any improvement you make.
The first implementation is known as "M&Ms".

> "depending on architecture and compiler".

The standard also has the idea of "implementation defined" behaviour, which is close to the definition above. "Undefined behaviour" is a trickier beast, since compilers can rightly assume undefined behaviour never occurs, and optimise accordingly.

What do you mean by "it doesn't work" exactly? No tipping in restaurants does work in many countries where people are paid a living wage from the outset, from Norway to Czech Republic.

And it works fine in many other industries in the U.S. where there's no tipping.
Went to a revolving sushi bar tonight. Everything was automated. They even had a touchpad where you can put in orders (like miso ramen soup), which get delivered by a belt. The only thing the servers did was sit us and bring us water. We asked them to replace a leaking soy sauce container and they never did.

We tipped 0$ -- there was essentially no service. I kinda felt bad, but talking it over with my wife, I couldn't really find a reason to tip.

I don't mean reporting all the names, but for example if you ever transmit payments there is a KYC process, and if you are a bank you must report any suspicious money laundering activity.

At the end of the day there are cultural conventions around names, and various agencies use them. I don't see why software should be explicitly culturally neutral, unless your audience is explicitly a global one (and even then, I think localization is preferable to just sticking names into a single field).
Also worth considering that our processors are handling billions of ops per second. One in a million might be happening all the time even for one user.
Make some of your code public on Github. Do a web or mobile app or two - even proof of concept type stuff but it has to be 'complete' in the sense that it should do the job it's supposed to. Use these to demonstrate your programming ability during interviews, and let employers know you're ready to learn new tools.

Pick one set of tools to be your current 'major', say Swift perhaps and spend time getting better at Swift than the rest of the stuff you know. Apply for Swift jobs and be confident!

One more thing. Always be prepared to switch your major to a new one (language, platform). If you ask me, Elixir/Phoenix has lots of potential and 2017 might be seeing a lot of job openings for it.
Wealthsimple is based in Toronto and hriring, did you try applying there?
I've traveled the world and have come to the conclusion that diners are better off in a tipping environment. Realize this is purely anecdotal but time and time again we have come to the realization that incentives matter and incentivizing good service makes sense to me (and I shouldn't have to order a bottle of wine at lunch to get it). If all someone is going to do is play telephone from one side of the room to the other, no thanks, I'd rather save the 20% and order off an iPad.
Unless everyone decides to kill tips all at once, this will never work out. No server will work for a fixed 20% increment when they have the potential to get a lot more than that, especially on Saturday nights. There have been plenty of examples of this not working out [1].

I personally love the staging component of git and would be lost without it. I often write a bunch of code working through a problem, because I think best that way, but it makes for a maintenance chore and a poor commit history, so I stage it into multiple commits when I'm done. This is absolutely trivial in git compared with other programs.

Plus, while the UX of git is not intuitive, especially from SVN, if you want to bypass staging and just use it like SVN, you can "git commit -a". Like svn, if you have new, untracked files, you can "git add -A; git commit". This is also trivial to alias.
the most important thing you need to know about thu hole soldering is that you have to get the wire and the PCB pad both hot enough that solder will melt on both them - dont melt the solder onto the iron and depend on it flowing onto the rest - melt it onto the things you want to solder - feed it into the component lead and pad opposite from the iron.

Do that and you'll never get a cold joint
This may not be what you are looking for, but it is worth considering /not to work in the industry/. I've been coding since the age of 7 and I'm now in my early 30s. There's a lot of programming that can be done outside of this industry (e.g. by working on free software projects), and in some cases it can even be financed through grants.

In my experience a software development job is often the easiest way to destroy what you may love about programming. There may be exceptions, but many of the jobs and their limitations cannot compete with coding out of passion. Jobs in the software development industry are not the only way to make use of and grow your programming skills.
I'm not sure if there's a third way for software that is omnipresent as Python.

Usually you have libraries, etc. which might be developed or not. As technology progresses, you can't achieve 100% backwards compatibility... I mean it's an accident waiting to happen, it's not a case of if it's just a case of when and how.
