Is this an example of a "straw man pilot"? Of course it is going to be more expensive if you have policies in place that require around the clock care of patients by a specific number of workers. They didn't even need to carry out the pilot as all they had to do was calculate the hours.

It's very telling that they don't care about the positive health effects observed of workers.

I've recently been enjoying using Hain, another spotlight-esque launcher like this one with more features:

- A built-in package manager based on NPM

- A visual settings editor - there's no need to edit configuration files

- Very fast fuzzy matching of file and program names

- Toast notifications and buttons

- An HTML-based preview pane

Sadly it's Windows-only for now, but there are contributors working on porting it to Linux and macOS.

If you're running macOS I've had success with building the feature/macos branch.

SPAs = Single Page Apps (not that everyone here wouldn't know that definition...but acronyms seriously suck ;). They create miscommunication and people who haven't been initiated yet are afraid to ask what it means. This one in particular has a lot of meanings: http://www.acronymfinder.com/Information-Technology/SPA.html (it likely means something completely different to a security person vs a network admin vs a front end dev.)
I was talking abour two foods with the same calories but with different absorbtion rates resulting in greater or fewer calories passing through the gut undigested. 100cal of coke results in more weight than 100cal of grass clippings.

As Snowden recently said (and it was already logical to assume that) the NSA should have the proof if the hacks as described by the U.S. government right now happened.

And they wouldn't really have to "burn sources" to do it, at least not in the sense that they would put spies in danger. But seriously, if this was such an issue, I would've rather they'd pulled those spies and showed the proof, than just trust them to start WW3 over "secret info that's totally real."

Rust has some very desirable properties to me. Writing Rust programs from scratch is not as scary as I've heard of from the internet either. The documentation is excellent, the compiler diagnostic messages are very helpful and the notorious borrow checker didn't stand in my way that much. And I love Cargo and Cargo.io. I have some projects where Rust is the saner choice than Go or other GC based languages.

That said, there are actually drawbacks of Rust compared with Go, IMHO. When facing a moderately large project written by others, the ergonomics for diving into the project is not as smooth as Go. There is no good full-source code indexer like cscope/GNU Global/Guru for symbol navigation across multiple dependent projects. Full text searching with grep/ack does not fill the gap well either since many symbols, with their different scopes/paths, are allowed to have the same identifier without explicitly specifying the full path. That makes troubleshooting/tracing a large, unfamiliar codebase quite daunting compared with Go.
I actually had a fairly similar experience while trying to buy flowers for valentines day. At check out they would show you offers for other flowers that looked the same but in actuality cost more (for no immediate apparent reason) and then your total would end up being higher than you had anticipated. They would also stuff your face in other offers like it would be 15% off if you add this mason jar. But then the mason jar adds that 15% back to the cost and more.
Cyanogen Inc.

They (used to) make a custom Android distribution for manufacturers, CyanogenOS. They grew out of an open source project, CyanogenMOD, but their business people apparently could not find a good way to monetize a phone OS, so most of not all of their developers (30 out of 130 employeed) were apparently laid off or quit. They have apparently turned to providing system-level apps, and a Reddit user who claims to have been a former employee says that they plan to create a Google Now competitor by mining data from 3rd party apps.

The company has completely withdrawn support from the open source OS it grew out of, but some of its developers will continue its development under the brand LineageOS.

IMO the ongoing trend of moving everything academic to C++ is just awful. I still don't get why everything thinks a language-to-rule-them-all is what should be used by default, especially in the age of LLVM. IMO Alan Kay and his research group has always had exactly the right ideas in this regard. I think iPython/Jupyter + Numpy + some kind of JITed Fortran 2008 environment with accelerator support would be a nearly ideal scientific computing environment. Basically a free, open source and blazingly fast (HPC ready) version of Matlab.

Lots of arguments here against an SPA are along the lines of "it probably is the wrong answer to your requirement most of the time". Related question. When is it best to use an SPA? My hunch is that it's not purely about aesthetics but something functional like Grooveshark/soundcloud not stopping a song that's playing when changing the page. Just not sure what qualifies as needing an SPA.

Agreed. I really can't see this being a success for anything more than PR. If you need it ASAP, you're going to use airfreight. If you don't you're going to have it by sea. I don't see much of a need for something in between those two timeframes. Anyone specialised in logistics care to comment if there is an actual market here?
If I had to summarize it from one sentence from the article, I'd go with:

"The one prediction I feel confident in making is that the idea of “ironic complexity theory”—i.e.,
of a profound duality between upper and lower bounds, where the way to prove that there’s no
fast algorithm for problem A is to discover fast algorithms for problems B, C, and D—is here to
stay."

Of course it tracks what time each server is serving (and other meta data). That's how the system knows that many servers didn't advertise the leap second when they should have (at which time it's too late for the NTP Pool to do anything useful about it).

Reportedly several national time sources (not NIST) managed to not announce the leap second, too.
You're right, to an extent we are talking past each other. I totally understand how your code can cause a dangling pointer. But you are using a raw C array, which completely goes against what I've been poorly trying to explain in this thread. What I am advocating is something like this:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/32df4da4949a6c1067c2be8f20...

so TL;DR, if you don't want to deal with copying structs, malloc them then push them to the dynamic array, and deal with their pointers. Else if you push a struct value on the ray, return struct values.

> I snorted heroin, I'm not a fricking junkie :)

;)

> But seriously, do you expect people to use needle exchange programs when doing so is tantamount to admitting to illegal behavior?

Yes, and some users do. I used to work in an office with line of sight to one and people would even line up outside (I suspect mostly for treatment/replacement dispensary schedules).

> It is very common for US police to bust drug users and pressure them into becoming confidential informants, and then work their way up the chain.

I don't think it's as common as you think. They're addicts and life isn't a spy novel. Some heroin addict isn't going to lean his way "up the chain."

> I'm guessing you're not interested in using drugs, right? There's your explanation.

I stated that I don't want to deal with obvious drug dealers (e.g. "coke, smoke?" guys). Extrapolate what you want.

> If you are though, then I can only ascertain that you feel you have a right to use them, while other people, like the non net contributors to society you mentioned earlier, do not.

That's accurate. Government services should be used for basic food, shelter, health, not paying for someone's high. Similarly, vodka and soda shouldn't be covered by SNAP -- if I want to burn some money from a paycheck, that's on me, but the nice grandparents that live next door shouldn't be paying for me to roll face or get drunk instead of work.

> Ok, now you must be trolling! You need me to dig up numbers to show that US police spend significant time and resources on drug crimes?

I was speaking about local police, not 3-letter agencies in the US. Have you considered that patrol police will go for a drug charge when they suspect a problem/crime and need probable cause? It's not as if weed is unscented and subtle when smoked. It's not as if police set up outside subways to test for internal possession in people acting normally.

> By the FBI's own numbers, drug violations account for more arrests than any other crime [1]. Speaking about policing more broadly, there are entire agencies like the DEA that deal exclusively with drug crime, and the NSA participates in efforts to catch drug dealers by coordinating with city police departments.

Your suggestion is free flow of drugs into society? You earnestly believe that ready access to heroin and meth production should be legal?
This case does not worth to pull the spies. If such intelligence was collected by spies (which I highly doubt), it would mean they have extraordinary access to information and they are too valuable to be exposed on such cause (it's much more important to keep them on their place and continuously monitor cyberwarfare capabilities of Russia). Protecting them would be the top priority and there would be a whole another game to hide their traces (probably not pointing to Russia at all and taking hidden asymmetric measures). So, I don't believe such information could be collected by spies if intelligence community presents it this way.

I feel that the introduction of "HD" came with some issues for computers. Previously we saw a much wider variety in screen resolutions and thus had more choices. "HD" introduced fixed resolutions that non-technical users could relate to. However, those resolutions were optimized for movies and nothing else. Ever since we are dealing with resolutions that make sense for watching movies on big TVs. For TVs and movies 3k doesn't make much sense. Nobody will try to sell you a 3k movie. There is huge marketing money spent on "4k" thus everyday Joe doesn't want to settle for "3k" even if it would be better. It's sad.

Wow. I'm surprised at the negative thoughts about SQL. I didn't realize I was an outlier.

I'm grateful that it doesn't look like other languages. The format it uses is really easy to generate using other languages, which makes it really useful in a lot of what I do.
Actually, Vulcan basically got discarded because a better theory arose independently (we still don't know what people actually saw that resulted in the Vulcan transits). People still on occasion poke around looking to see if anything shows up, but so far, nothing. That is to say, investigating Vulcan actually increased the false belief in Vulcan.

In the case of the emdrive, we've got plenty of theoretical reasons to assume it's wrong. It's really on the proponents to come up with more convincing evidence. Occam's razor and all that. If you feel bored, check it out, but there's probably nothing there.

> The intelligence community will never be able to release enough information to satisfy people. The information will either be so non-specific as to be useless ("we had spies who told us" - would anyone here believe that anymore than they do now?), or so specific it will damage ongoing interests ("We have communication intercepts between the hacking groups and the GRU/FSB, and there they are, and here is how we got them" - it's likely there are actual humans involved in that process who will die if they are exposed).

This argument seems plausible. Even so, they are doing a very poor job of convincing knowledgeable folks.

To a large degree, this comes down to an issue of trust.

Do you trust the US intelligence community?

Consider that James Clapper, the current Director of National Intelligence, "wittingly" lied to Congress about spying on US citizens. Also consider that the CIA spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee while the committee was investigating the CIA's torture program, initially lied about it to the Senate, then admitted it but said that it wasn't wrong.

They lie with impunity to Congress, the people who _theoretically_ have power over their budgets.

Do you think they will balk at lying to the press or the American public?

A Christmas Wish (List) Gone Wrong
> it absolutely does not make sense to consider the shares granted to be worthless

That is very true. The specific situation of a Unicorn is somewhat value growth (+ dilution) without direct market corrections for an extended period of time. For a Unicorn the possibility of being able to encash the value in real money needs to be considered.

In general, the value needs to be multiplied by one of two factors.

Possibility of an 83(B) + your ability to buy yourself out of the golden hand-cuffs against the potential length of your tenure, even in the last months of a pre-IPO hold-out situation within the company.

Those are realistic factors to consider, with the latter being the biggest toss-up bet there.
Windows and Linux have issues with HiDPI when scaling is not just 2x. 1080p is conveniently ~1/4 of 4K, so 2X scaling for H and W makes it look normal.

Also, panel manufacturers want to pitch 4K, not 2.5k or whatever would make sense. It's the same reason we have 16:9 instead of 16:10 which many people (including me) liked much more: panel manufacturers and companies selling these to consumers care more about marketing (and selling) than how good they are to use. 100% srgb coverage is easier to sell than e.g. Backlight uniformity or low backlight bleed.
I'm not Dan and don't work in FB, but I can confirm that for Messenger As Destination ads, the user does go directly into Messenger when clicking on the ad. (I've purchased ads and tried it out)

But I get what you mean -- the screen when you choose web browser or Messenger App is a really bad screen. It's a real turn-off for almost all users. Out of everyone we've surveyed (tens of them), nobody knew what that screen was about and what they were supposed to do on it.

I get the feeling that a big slice of that remaining 1000 still wouldn't be identified even if they were genetically sampling at birth. Simply because the kind of person who ends up as an unidentified body in the U.S. is less likely to start out being born in a hospital, or being born in the U.S. at all.
Yep, CPU's too. On the E4500's the CPU's and memory were on the same boards. You could remove the board after sending the right ASR commands.

Then again, you were constantly swapping boards to find the ones not affected by EDP (ecache data parity) errors.

Yeah, but you have to then call those APIs. It's like buffer overflows, which can be prevented with trivial checking, but those checks have to be done everywhere, which is why they're still happening in 2017.

That might fly in the land of socialism but here on the free side of the lake sitting at the intersection while the light is green will just encourage people to take their "right on red" in front of you ensuring you never make it across, unless of course you're at an intersection where the locals have been deemed to be idiots and are not allowed to take a right on red.
His point is that you're not forced to do that. And anyhow, that doesn't solve the issue since you can bungle the creation of the slice with the wrong offset or length.
It's not yet ready for primetime, but Scala Native (http://scala-native.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) might just make a splash in the systems space. I don't think it has anything like ownership yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually develops that capability. I think you can get it to run without GC, too, but using C Stdlib memory management. Although, that largely defeats the memory-safety.
