I understand (and share) your skepticism, particularly in the light of what science and health reporting has become. Moreover, the popular press tends to lump vegetarianism with every other orthorexic/antiscience fad to come along - from non-celiac gluten avoidance to 'juice' cleanses to wheatgrass enemas. It's not a minor frustration to be lumped in with the self-absorbed orthorexic crowd, but what are you going to do? :)

Regardless, the healthiness of vegetables isn't new science, nor is our understanding of the fundamental requirements of the human body. We know humans require iodine, vitamin d and other essential vitamins to survive. We know humans can't manufacture 9 specific amines that we colloquially refer to as 'protein', and require them from their diet. This isn't new science, and we know that it's possible to be healthy and vegan, which is why the World Health Organization, Kaiser Permanente, among other health organizations have started promoting plant-based diets.

(If I'm feeling cynical, my usual answer to the question 'where do you get your protein?' is 'which ones are you specifically concerned about?', since the questioner invariably doesn't actually know what a protein is, but vaguely knows that meat has it, and broccoli "doesn't".)

(Broccoli has almost as much protein, on a caloric basis, as steak (8 grams per 100 cals vs 11 grams). Though, that's kind of a cop-out answer, because while broccoli contains all the right proteins, it only has very little of one of them. Then again, nobody has to live just on broccoli - just like nobody in their right mind would live on nothing but steak. Add a few beans to your diet and boom, broccoli is now as complete as steak. I have more trouble >choosing< what to eat than ever having trouble 'finding enough things I can eat' :) )

There have been vegans for literally thousands of years - both buddhist and jainist religions espouse vegan or at least extremely plant based diets. What is new, however, is the plethora of new vegan food products and services, that have made being vegan vastly easier than it has ever been to be vegan - fermented cheeses, dozens of 'meat' substitutes, even brand new kinds of food, like Quorn. It's kind of crazy (and not entirely good for my waist :))

If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to answer them. I also have sources that I consider science-based and would recommend to others, but particularly those with a skeptical eye :)

Sure, but what does "sustain combustion" mean? Well, it provides activation energy for reactions. And here's the thing: lack of activation energy is all that keeps us and other combustible stuff from burning.

Scientists Predict Star Collision Visible to the Naked Eye in 2022
The problem appears to be that they didn't doso, and they took over the site for ~2w before shutting it down, so they no longer _could_ doso if they wanted to.

I'm entertained that they're going to such lengths essentially to conceal their 0days. Did they assume the judges were just going to let them skirt by without verifying how they identified people? You'd think they'd have learned from the days of IDing piracy by IP address that it's generally not going to fly any more.

>Hillary won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes

And if the Presidential election was based on the popular vote, that would mean something. It doesn't work that way, and everyone knew beforehand it didn't work that way, and everyone involved, most definitely including the Clinton campaign, was happy to praise the Electoral College to the skies when they thought it would tilt the results in their favor. So, as the kids say, let it go. This line does not help you.

>That large opposition force that surpasses all Trump supporters will not go away.

That's nice, but as long as it's concentrated in a tiny strip along the coasts it will continue to be ineffective. I recommend that instead of attacking the other side you start working on converting them to your side. That's one of the reasons Trump won: he flipped a lot of counties that voted for Obama twice. You can do that right back to him, if you're willing to swallow your pride and talk to people instead of sneering at them.

>This is not over my Trump supporter.

I voted for Evan McMullin, dude.

>If the Republicans overreach there will be a backlash.

If only certain people had realized that Democratic overreach could cause backlashes, too, then your party might not be a smoking hole in the ground right now.
Woah! That's too much.. If you want to share your story with me, no matter how, you know, it is, I'll try to help in any way I can.
Marissa Mayer to resign from Yahoo board after sale
Wow, crazy to see this project still alive and thriving. I was using it 10+ years ago when I worked exclusively in Java. It was great to find those "obvious" issues that slip in that you didn't notice when you should of. I think I had it as a SVN pre-commit hook at one point.

In fact, the lead dev wrote a book "PMD Applied" and I wrote a review of it: http://caseysoftware.com/blog/book-review-pmd-applied

It's since been implemented in PHP too: https://phpmd.org/
McKinsey claims that on average diverse companies outperform homogenous companies http://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our-...

With that said, their survey includes companies across all industries, including those with a lot of customer face-to-face interactions (retail, banking, airlines, hospitality, healthcare). I am not aware of anyone narrowing down the research to tech/engineering field, so in absence of that the public just assumes that similar findings would apply to every industry, and diverse high-tech companies will outperform non-diverse ones.

I've hired Canadians to work oh fully remote engineering teams. We didn't try to get a good deal, just tried to find good talent. We kept them as contractors for legal reasons but treated them like employees. We paid between 120k and 160k USD depending on ability. SF Series B Startup.

Rabid defense of Marissa? You and I must have different Internets.
I've never seen a laptop actually survive longer than 7h practically. The advertised battery life may say >10, synthetic benchmarks may say a bit lower. But once you use it with wifi on, with proper brightness, actually doing some work - no - it always takes a big hit.
You say that now, but when you step up to the machine with the knowledge that you are about to cease to exist, while somewhere else a perfect copy of you gets to go about living your life, I bet you change your mind.

Such a shame, I wonder how long it will take Trello to turn into heavy 'enterprise' bloatware like the rest of said companies products. There are a few good open source alternatives out there now so I'll personally move to one of those.
I do this much more rarely than "always", and tend to continue self-reviewing or start the review a little earlier instead of explicitly leaving in a deliberate bug, but I still act in a similar vein.

> [...] only to find out you left it there on purpose as a take-it-upon-myself approach to checking your peers' competency.

This is never my goal. I don't send a review your way in the first place unless I think you're competent. But sometimes entirely competent people are overworked, distracted, a bit too trusting... it happens. It's human. It's fine! It's happens to all of us.

I just want to not check in broken shit.

It leads to long days and late nights. If you're overworked, it's just going to make things worse. This might involve me leaning on another reviewer more for a bit. This might be more closely scrutinizing my own code for a bit. This might be me offering to help take something off your plate if I think I can fit it onto mine. This might be a little friendly ribbing that helps you bring your focus back, if you're just a bit distracted.
>Honestly, who needs to reach out? Did the Republicans get in the nice situation they find themselves in now by reaching out?

Yes, as a matter of fact, they did. Trump flipped a lot of counties that went for Obama twice. I recommend you follow his example. Find some people on the other side who should be persuadable, and get to persuadin'.
Visual Studio (for .net) and vim (everything else), contrary to many vimmers will tell you, it is an IDE, just not a very good one. I'm expecting that to get a lot better though with the feature set added in vim 8 and things like intellisense services (https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn), rust and other languages are providing similar tools.
Then you have another scaling problem. If you increase the number of representatives to the level at the founding of the US (1 per 30,000 or so if I recall) then you'll end up with the House of Representatives holding 11,000+ members.
>Linux is the only consortium of operating systems that still suffer from the inability to "just work out of the box".

Google the laptop model + Linux before you buy it. That increases the odds of getting a "it works out of the box" experience.

You'll also usually find pretty straightforward instructions how to get things going quickly if they do not work out of the box, or the simple fact that the machine is not well supported.

Also, if you had done enough Windows installs you'd know that things very seldom "work out of the box" if you do a clean install, especially with laptops. Instead, you'll have a fun time hunting bloated driver packages from some slow obscure chinese FTP server.

In addition hardware support on Windows gets worse over time. For example: Have an older Samsung laptop, wanna run Windows 10? Tough luck. [1]

On Linux you'll have this problem _very_ rarely, if ever, as hardware support (among other things) keep improving over time.

Grsecurity – FAQ about RAP
This was many years ago, so it was mostly reboots, reconfiguring settings, and things like that.

But a good friend of mine has a very awesome job: he is employed by a very large manufacturing company that makes consumer products. They have dozens of plants all over north america, most of which run machines from companies that are out of business or the lines are no longer supported. When one of these antiquated machines break and the on-site service techs can't fix it or don't have spares they call him in. He will basically pull an old ISA card out of a machine, troubleshoot what broke, and replace board level components. He has a stash of old harddrives from eBay. Every version of old software you can imagine. In a few cases he has made new controller boards completely from scratch (including dumping firmware off of chips and flashing it on to new ones). When you are losing $200k an hour with a line down, "screw it I'll make a new one from scratch" isn't a silly response to the plant manager.
Jokes aside.

I'm not 100% sure but I am guessing based on few thing I see in the current code browser side. Finance probably copied a lot of what sports was doing. Sports was ahead of the game a little because it was not as old as Finance.

I know that Angular 1 was not allowed back when it first started to catch on. I am not sure if it was because of the CLA or the license, but I do think there was something legal around patents. Yahoo still has a ton of patents.

Sports was already working on a new framework that I believe predates Angular. Some of that crazy JS was there to support precog, a preloading interface and some other things. Some of it was based on the horrid work of an architect that did not last long after MM started. Still I can't say he did that or she did this. There was a period of trying to get modern that failed before MM showed up. I do know of several folks that did what they could do and made that framework the best they could.

Now to get back to finance. When I was leaving, finance was still in many languages. In 2015 some parts of finance pages where still rendered in C. Yes think sprintf and friends. When you have something like 5 languages rendering a page doing the whole, "we are going to rending in Angular" isn't really an option.

This is the very definition of technical debt. Does it suck? Yes. Is this something a CEO can fix? No. Can we blame one little framework on the demise? That would just be stupid. Technology does not work in a bubble. It works on the shoulders of it's creators and has to overcome the faults of those creators. This is much as is life, we evolve when need be, but until then we live on.
Would you use the same reasoning when selling American products in foreign markets? Folks from poor countries struggle with lack of facilities/nutrition and try to produce some stuff in competition with those with better facilities/lives from US and have to compete in the same marketplace head-on. Both of them have advantages/disadvantages but one group has the strength to push others in the form of trade rules. So why should we have free trade in the form of goods but not in the form of labor?

> Regardless, the original comment was talking specifically about desktop.

Yes but that's the point. Microsoft may still be the most dominant player on the desktop, but they're no longer the most important company in tech, because the desktop is no longer the only important platform.

Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple are all now as important or more important than Microsoft, because they all run platforms that are as important or more important than Windows.

It was hard to imagine that ever happening in 1999, yet it had started happening, and it became clearly apparent that it was happening within just a few years.

Similarly, whilst Google might seem hopelessly dominant now due to their dominance in search, their dominance over tech will subside when the next important new platform emerges.
How do you create a politically correct list of top-tier universities?
Where can I sign up for a job making 7 figures with no "performance clause?" Even better, she probably had something like a "no downside performance clause," but would still receive lavish bonuses for any upside.

Whatever. Yahoo was already going down, and she just looted it for an order of magnitude more than "f-you money" on its way down, without much steepening its decline. Things end as they always would have, and Mayer retires to the island she just bought.

I can't speak for GP, but in my case, I'd run chkdisk or possibly "reimage" the thing.

And when I say "reimage" I mean that I'd run an XCOPY script I had that copied the last known-good backup from a Novell share, after which I'd boot from a DOS floppy and do a sys c:

I eventually made a batch file called 'fix' that would do the more common fixes and had them run that without bothering me.

Is there a good writeup somewhere about setting up redundant NS records at the zone apex? Or, more generally, "DNS primer for busy developer" article?
Agreed. California voters should also be aware that every few years, the parties try to sneak in propositions that de-fang or diminish the commission.
Not sure about GP, but here in Argentina a packages can take lots of months (or just a few days if you're lucky!) to get through customs. Not to mention 50% import tax, amongst other things.

It ends up being so complicated and expensive, that just buying a winbook is cheaper. (fun fact: a plane ticket to NYC plus the price for my MBA is less than what it sells for here!).
So will it be visible in both hemispheres?

I don't really care about the folder structure, I'd just like to be able to move parts of my library around without losing all the work I've done.

Darktable for example saves its settings in a file alongside the RAW image. Done. I can move those around without being afraid of anything. LR however enforces Adobe's own, opaque solution that I'm not aware of any possibilities to efficiently manage without going through LR itself.

Don't get me wrong, tagging etc. is nice. I'd just rather do it on my own in a system that I can manage myself (e.g. BeFS if need be).

Very happy for the folks at Trello. Great outcome for a great tool. Seems lots of JIRA-haters in the comments but lets get back and look at this event. The folks at Fog Creek brought us FogBugz, Stackoverflow, Trello.

We should celebrate their success because its events like this that create the motivation for some of us to go create something that "stands on their shoulders" or competes with them or creates some new paradigm of how tasks can be managed. Fog Creek is almost the ultimate startup - they keep it small, do things right, stick to their craft. What is the result? Regularly bring fantastic products to the world. Anybody contemplating how to get setup and run a software startup should start by reading most/all of joelonsoftware and then the later blogs about SO and Trello.

Yes Im huge fan - because i applaud geeks that put heart and soul into their craft as well as running their business and getting great outcomes like this. Would love to see more of it.

I have the 60" KS8000 and it is pretty awesome, find it too big to use as a monitor. I'd probably look at the smallest size they make (which seems to be 49"). Do you find the visual quality and uniformity to be adequate as a monitor? The smallest entry in their new 2017 QLED line seems to be 55", which again for me would be a problem (something in 40-45" range would be ideal, I think).
> It is not shared by any language ever.

Actually, Microsoft created a languages like C#, F#, Visual Basic that promote -- though do not enforce -- this convention

C++ often has capitalization for methods (which often happen to be public) but not member (which often happen to be private).

Capitalization in Ruby denotes a constant, enforced by the runtime.

Java uses ALL_CAPS for public static constants and lowercase for private ones.

Capitalizing public things is not that weird.
It's true that using matplotlib in Julia (via PyPlot.jl) is some sort of a hack. However, it works surprisingly well!
So the options are:

1. Reveal code which will explain the exploit. This would take down the existing ring, but also allow other child-pornographers to patch their systems (probably the politically worst thing possible). It may also reveal publicly controversial investigative methods of the FBI.

2. Keep code private and potentially see the existing perps walk. This would preserve the exploit (maybe) for use another day, but might also be a risk to civil liberties.

What a mess.

BAS in sound arts. I taught myself JavaScript in parallel with the Web Audio API and wrote the beginner book I wish I had. It's titled "JavaScript for Sound Artists". There are literally no books on the market to teach JavaScript to this demographic so I guess I have the monopoly. I tried (hopefully successfully) to write it in a manner that extends the experience of programming a synth or drum machine to the world of JS. Its on Amazon if anyone is interested. Keep in mind it's a beginner programming book.

That's completely untrue. You seem to misunderstand the entire issue.

Imagine 3 districts in an area split 55-45 Dem to Rep. If you draw the
lines so that 2 districts are (D to R) 40-60 splits, that leaves the other at
85-15, you
guarantee two Republican representatives and one Democrat. If everything were
evenly split-up, then there would be 3 Democrats. Gerrymandering COMPLETELY
undoes the democratic system. It's a primary issue in our system and 100%
voting turn-out would do NOTHING to stop it.
That's a terrible comparison. The body already lies open before you in the form of code. A debugger should be the measure of last resort, when you can't explain why something fails or you have strange side effects. In my experience every programmer that relied on the debugger had difficulties understanding his or her code in the first place.
It doesn't, the poster was mistaken. I just explained in my reply.
