Wow. I just have to say thank you. I love irssi, but the hassle of sshing from my phone has been an issue. This solved everything. the glowing bear phone app works great, but i couldnt get the weechat android app to work.

Thanks!

referral. I did rinky-Dink websites back in the day then gradually those rink-dink customers become bigger. I think about the 4th sale first. Business is about building relationships. Also i got very lucky. I hit up everyone i know and their motha / fatha's brotha etc.. then i ask for the roladex of my current customers and see if they can use some work. If they don't have the money for a MVP / Wep app / prototype i pivot to a discovery gig. Then i also work on my own IP building stuff. Also always networking at meetups in NYC there is always somebody who knows somebody and a bunch of ad companies who now get software work , need to sub-contract it out. They were sub-contracting to third world BUT that shit is drying up so i got lucky with a few who wanted the work be done here. I hired this girl todo content marketing too. Then im always on to the next sale.

(Interview) SpaCy: Fast and accurate language processing in Python
C++ with more stuff isn't the same as "better C++".

C++ has more features than any one person could ever need and it seems like the design philosophy is: anything that is possible in any language; should be added to C++. In reality it is a huge problem for productivity.
It's about like asking why would you use F# or (Iron)Python over C#? Different syntaxes have different strengths/weaknesses and the trade-offs can target different use cases and needs. At the end of the day it's whatever makes you (feel) productive.

In terms of specifics, PowerShell's strengths over C# for scripting are particularly in PowerShell's the ability to succinctly navigate hierarchies (folders, but also other folder-like trees) in a way reminiscent of shells from time immemorial, as well as to easily interleave native binary calls (and pipes/redirects/captures).

Some of it is the difference between grabbing C# binding for libgit off NuGet, LINQing my way through a the git DAG for the information I need versus running `git show xyz` or `git describe` directly in a shell and capturing that into a variable or piping that to whatever my next steps are. Depending on my level of abstraction and how often that script is called and if I'm paid to write that script or it is getting in the way of what I'm actually trying to work on, I use a different tool for the job.

I flew London -> Dubai with Emirates flew years back and I was pretty pleased to see that we over pretty much the length of Iraq. You're a few dozen thousand feet up on a route that's followed many times per day - I don't think it's particularly dangerous.
You can try and spin this any way you like. Is there any evidence, not hearsay, regarding this TX? (y/n question). Your whole argument is based on this one link, haha.

No, I do contract work for bitcoin. As I already stated, "crypto is a small percentage of my overall portfolio." so not sure your point there. I manage my finances just fine thanks, it seems you're upset none of your ponzi schemes have paid off.
Most key dongles or smartcards let you load your own key on the device in a write-only fashion, or use the inherent secure cryptographic operations from the device to generate a key (which could subsequently tested if it is random enough through examining the public key portion and multiple tests).
The general term is "video super-resolution". There's software available off the shelf to do it, IIRC.
What is Data Logging
I'm struggling to think of a common use case that makes heavy use of the "40-75C" range of the Celsius scale, and even for cooking you're mostly looking in the 150C-300C range, which is no more convenient than using 300-500F.

There's no particular reason to be hung up on where water boils when it's not creating a particularly useful scale. You could just as easily set 100 to be the point at which proteins denature (~75C).
> You had a minimum wage job with a 401k? That was a firm with a bigger HR department than it needed.

Aren't there giant companies that employ low wage workers (e.g. McDonalds and Starbucks) that might reasonably offer 401ks to all employees, even the minimum wage ones?

Ignoring the question if a minimum wage person can realistically afford to save, or course.
> Mozilla is really just another software company owned by a nonprofit

It depends on how one defines "just another software company", but I don't agree with that characterization:

Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.

Much more of the same here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/

I don't see Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or other software companies aggressively, creatively pursuing those goals (and achieving them). If Mozilla was just another software company, would there even be an open web today?
That is the rational approach, but we are emotional beings and we cannot always be completely detached.
Not everyone has the luxury of avoiding burnout. Sometimes life itself is one huge burnout.
Lessons learned as a React contractor
The problem though is that people are effectively made to work for free if the government can order any organization to publish their private information.

But they're not doing that work for "free". They're doing in exchange for the privilege of being able to run a large-scale business on one of the most highly-trafficked street grids on the planet. Which in turn certainly doesn't exactly come for "free" (and in fact costs many billions of dollars per year to run, involving thousands and thousands of people who certainly don't work for fee either), now does it.

So Uber says they don't want to pay for that privilege? That they'd rather not have to comply with regulations (like every other business operator in any other damn category you can think of) because they're... special?

That's fine, of course -- they just don't have to do business in NYC, then.

No, most retailers aren't selling on Amazon. Some are.

And yes, most products won't have any profit to be made. The trick is to find the ones that sell well but are more expensive on Amazon, there are thousands of such products, probably even more.

So Prof Paul Bellan at Caltech shows that e rays are emitted when a solar flares. http://ve4xm.caltech.edu/Bellan_plasma_page/

And black holes show X rays escaping (which is what this article is about), so does this mean wormholes can not exist?

I think the tone of your comment just demonstrated what I was getting at. Thanks.
I think FF addons also need some more love this year. Was thinking of a low-hanging-fruit issue aggregator for FF plugins like this one https://github.com/spring-guides/issue-aggregator. Would you be interested in using such an aggregated list of bugs?
Join a ton of channels. Lurk for a bit, add things into the conversation. After a month or so everyone will be comfortable with you and you just keep going. More general topic channels like #startups on freenode are a bit easier to be social in. Learn the local rules and the local users. It's like any community really.
Replied. Thank you.
You seem to be confusing NPAPI plugins with browser extensions.

Firefox doesn't allow addons that contain binary XPCOM components anymore. Everything has to be JS, whether the addon is XPCOM based, addon SDK (JetPack) based, or WebExtensions-based.

NPAPI is deprecated and is to the point where it is only used for Flash.
It is 100% about the numbers. 43 children in America are diagnosed with cancer everyday. 5 children die everyday and it is the number one cause of death for children. 40,000 children every year are being treated. BUT that pales to just lung cancer with 610 diagnosis per day and 427 deaths per day.

I still say that is these are not a good reasons to keep the funding so low.

1) Treatments for Children are immediately beneficial to adults BUT treatments for adults would take at least 7 years but the cast majority they would be unlikely to be of any benefit to children.

2) Treatments for Children will also have less side effects and fewer long term side effects.

3) Children are at the age of around 6 years old when diagnosed and have 60 years+ of a positive life. 2% of lung cancer patients are under 45 years old and average age is 70 on the day of diagnosis.

4) Ethical: If you had a choice for your life to be saved or a child's life but only one of you can have could live what would you chose? If you saw a child about to get hit by a car but it was unclear if you intervene if you would make it would you just stand to the side? I think most of us would hope we would choose the kids. Why are we not doing this when we can actually sit down and think about it?

By this logic what's stopping government to demand everyone's online history from Facebook or the phone companies? After all government own the airwaves.
This is a provocative piece of information, but I think there's some truth in it.

When I burned hard out at my last job, I resigned and decided to take some time off. Writing code felt disgusting. I had a timeline when I was going to get back in to work and the hope was that I'd be good.

Welp, the one month I gave myself turned in to two, and that turned into three and I still felt just like garbage. I normally work as hard as anyone and yet the inertia to write even the simplest code was insane.

My cat got sick and was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the vet trips and treatment obliterated my savings. Within _two_ days of this starting I found the mental blocks removed. This is fortunate because I was starting to get pretty scared I'd end up homeless and starve to death.

Necessity caused by crisis seems to have cured my burnout. I've paid the rent on GARBAGE upwork jobs, most of them have paid minimum wage or worse while looking for full time work. All my clients have given me 5 stars and, while it's not fun, rewarding work, it's necessary and I can do it. I can say with 100% honesty that I physically could not have done it back in September when I was flush with cash and still reeling from my last work experience.

True, but there should be some rationale as to why they assume that normalization wrt the cofactors they've chosen are sufficient to provide for their conclusions.

Simply seemingly randomly choosing cofactors and then shrugging it off as good enough to draw conclusions from is sloppy. Typical, yes, but mean you shouldn't be skeptical of their conclusions, no.

Yes they are hard at work:

- destroy the housing market... check
- ruin higher education... check
- destroy democracy ... check
- bankrupt social security and medicare... in progress, but basically a foregone conclusion
- destroy all jobs for the current generation ... check
It's also because they consistently cut taxes and public investment in infrastructure while passing legislation to inflate the costs of basic life necessities such as housing.
On the latter, neither of those are varietals. Valpolicella is a viticultural region, which produces both of those wines.

Amarone's are made of dried grapes, which have a different flavor. Typical "valpolicella" can be made of the same grapes (several are used) and the "superiors" use some of the remnants of Amarone production.

You'll get different Valpolicella's with different varietals - you are most likely just picking up on the dried/ not dried as your preference.

FWIW as was custom many old-world wines don't label by varietal, that was more of a new world custom that has somewhat been adopted in Europe. Which can cause confusion with some varietal wines being inconsistently labeled e.g. Tempranillo (grape) and Rioja (region). In some cases it doesn't make much sense to label by varietal, e.g Châteauneuf-du-Pape which uses mixtures of many grapes (out of a dozen plus allowed).

I'm not sure how you somehow found a broad antigovernment oppositional attitude in these posts here. All of what you say about governance can be true, and I largely agree with it, but I still don't want NYC to have my data and I do think the onus is on them to show they will be responsible custodians because they screwed it up in the past. Once bitten, twice shy.

I don't know if you've tried to do free work for governments and get them to go along with your initiatives before, but I bet you that it quickly becomes a politicized process and is much more painful than, say, submitting a PR. I don't have the time, energy, or resources to do such a thing, but I do have the ability to vote against policies that I feel are misguided. If you have examples of normal citizens getting municipalities to adopt their initiatives and the process going smoothly, I'm all ears.

Also, the point here is that Uber is not a cab ride; if I take a cab ride I can understand why NYC gets the data directly since cabs are a de facto government-established monopoly, but I don't see why that extends to my business dealings with a private corporation.

Great! Glad this is on public record.
The $1.05B revenue for 2017 figure is completely made up.

But even if you assume it's real, the $25B valuation still makes zero sense. 25 times the annual revenue, not the profit.
Yes, but this is what's actually happened. The active and loud people kept pushing to the point that they now enjoy huge political power and get to do what they want for the next while, regardless of how it impacts you.

Your not wanting to participate in this understandable but if you don't then you have no guarantee of retaining what you have worked for anyway.
yes. easily
then how about you invest in gold, its traditionally been a good fear hedge. or more appropriately adjust the weighting between gold & market based on your perception of risk.

Note that I am not actually recommending investing in gold just making your abstract fearful thesis into something real. IMO unless you are talking about some civilization hurting disaster (like yellowstone .. not even then perhaps) markets recover from crashes. in a way they are a measure of optimism for future. so I'd factor than into my plans.
> But if it wants to operate a business on NYC's streets on a (massive) scale -- well, that's a privilege, not a right. And if they want access to that privilege, they're gonna have to play by the rules as set forth by the city's voters and their elected representatives.

I get that a business doesn't have the same rights as a person, but do we really want to be crafting a maze of one-off rules for every company just because each of them have something special that we don't want to pay them for?

afaik, Uber makes money selling some of this data to municipalities.

I agree that CLAs are a bit of a hassle, but it makes things much saner for licensors and licensees alike. One high profile project that doesn't use them is the linux kernel. It's mostly only the uniformity of mind among contributors that keeps things on course. Can you imagine the consequences if one or more developers decided that they wanted to change the terms for their contributions?

--- scratch that! Ok, I'm a bit out of date: linux's DCO solves this problem without requiring a DCA. But think of other projects that want to have long term growth and what challenges could arise in the face of changing attitudes over time.

That sacred cow needs to be slaughtered, the sooner the better, and its flesh distributed.
You're right, that's a very fair point. Gangs kill more people than Nazis, in the same way that car crashes kill far more than terrorists.

I think if I didn't suspect that neo-Nazis were cozy with the government nowadays (long before this election I heard frightening stories of white supremacists working their way up in police departments and the FBI), I'd have every grounds to dismiss them in favor of worrying about gangs and car crashes.
Computer Access in Healthcare: You Want My Password or a Dead Patient? [pdf]
It always struck me as odd that Go has select{}, but no way to select on a file descriptor such a socket. There's literally no way to poll a file descriptor: You have to read from it, and deal with the result.

That also means reads aren't interruptible (unless you count closing the descriptor as interrupting, which is a blunt hammer indeed). AFAIK the only way to do this is to set SetReadDeadline() on the connection to a smallish value, then let the interrupter block on a channel that's invoked when the deadline is reached.

Go's concurrency model is pretty friendly, but it's also unfriendly in many surprising ways. (Don't get me started on the whole nil channel thing, or the problem of channel closure/ownership, or channel performance overall.) It doesn't surprise me the least (while it did surprise the Go team) that Go fell flat among the C/C++ system programmer demographic.

Anyone want to chip in about how Rust, Swift and Nim compare here (regarding the article)?

When you use Snapchat you will notice that most of the top "news" publishers are the sort of Daily Mail and other tabloids infested with celebrities and kardashians bogus stories. It does not allow you to curate newsfeed per your taste. The publishers I want to read/watch/follow are not on Snapchat or I can't pick and create my selection. Unlike Facebook, where my wall is full with informational posts catered towards me, by me. This can tell you a lot about who is paying for advertisements on Snapchat and what type of audience they are catering to with what kind of content. It reeks desperation.

You actually can observe the same behavior in most async APIs which follow a "pull model". E.g. if you do "await socket.ReadAsync(buffer...)" in C# you would also need to have preallocated the buffer and keep it alive for the whole duration of the async operation. Same is true for C++ boost asio async reads. Even if you use the pure C WinAPI IOCP methods you have to preallocate the buffers.

The readyness model avoids this, as described in the article. But it will also lead to a more event driven programming model.

I think the preallocation might be a problem if the use case is a server that holds an enormous amounts of mostly inactive connections (e.g. websocket server). For most servers I don't see a problem with it.

This method also has a benefit for performance: You often can totally avoid dynamic memory allocation during runtime with this model. You allocate the receive buffer once for the connection and then reuse it for the whole lifetime. In the push model you either need to allocate a fresh buffer for the new data or retrieve one from a pool, which is still more expensive.
This is one of my favorite stories that hardly anybody knows about. I actually did consulting for Oneida briefly a long time ago, and I don't think anybody there had a clue that it was started by a communist sex cult.
As said, it all comes down to the merits of the specific regulations (and implicitly, how they jibe with the constitution and existing legislation).
