>Then again, I also think that bars with parking lots are a significant issue as well, as it encourages patrons to drive there, drink (possibly to drunk) and then leave in their vehicle.

I somehow have the feeling that bars WITHOUT parking lots will have less clients ...

A solution could be bars with parking lots 1 mile away and courtesy bikes, but I guess that cycling accidents and bycicle thefts would have an instant surge ...

More seriously, you drive to the bar parking lot, and while you are perfectly sober, you decide to get drunk (beyond legal limits).

While you may well be right that the decision to drive is based on intoxication, the decision to get intoxicated is taken based on consent, knowing that you got there driving a car...

AFAICU legal limits are fairly low so you should be sober enough when you order the "yet another" drink.
There are a few staple packages mentioned here, but this post largely just repeats the Sublime docs [1][2], which are easier to read IMO.

Wes Bos has a book Sublime Text Power User [3] if you're looking to do even more advanced things, especially with workflows.

Have you ever used Sublime though? You can modify the user interface any way you want. Theming works extremely well. There's an integrated package manager too, that works superb. Sublime and Atom are pretty much the same feature-wise (they both are available to Linux too), but Sublime does it (for me) in a cleaner, more efficient and native way.

There's no discernible taste difference (to me, at the very least) between traditionally pasteurized milk and UHT pasteurized milk. I seriously doubt anyone could tell the difference in a blind taste test. Additionally, plenty of UHT milk is sold in the refrigerator section, so it's not an aversion to UHT itself. Organic milk is more often UHT pasteurized than non-organic milk and people usually buy organic because they believe it to taste better.

That's why small-claims court exists. You don't need a lawyer and in some places are forbidden from retaining one to sue or defend yourself in such a court. The drawback is that there's a cap on actual damages in order for small-claims court to have jurisdiction, but most disputes between individuals are likely to fall well under that cap.

I imagine that most convenience stores that get held up by a drug addict probably do report it. If your drug dealer breaks your legs because you didn't pay them back, you may not report that... so I would hypothesize that there is likely a pretty good mix of reported and unreported drug related violence.

I agree completely. Most big desktop applications make no attempt to conform to platform look and I have never heard people complain of that.
The title is slightly misleading - the author mostly critiques the maintainer model used by Linux, not the broader model of "maintainer" used in OSS.

Speaking from personal experience as a somewhat new maintainer for a large project (we were #3 in PRs for all of GitHub last year[1]), modern tooling and aggressive automation decrease the amount of busywork substantially. I also have a relatively large amount of independence in my decisions as a maintainer, but this hasn't translated into an absence of oversight or fractured quality standards.

On a quick browse I found these two references to Switzerland:

Frontpage: "Swiss-based, EU hosted"

Bottom of the "Privacy" page: "Wire is based in Switzerland and is fully compliant with Swiss and EU data protection laws."

I don't think that is "making a big deal", or even misleading. Especially the frontpage reference is actually really honest.
I miss seeing Direct Connect described as being "(like) stacking cash on the sidewalk and lighting it on fire".

Besides the other replys that suggested Research Assistant: Little Snitch is actually able to write pcaps per application so you can then analyze with Wireshark. Killer feature, imo.

The reason, sadly; is that I lack experience with clojure.async, I lost my motivation before I got there; a couple of years ago it was still too experimental for my taste, didn't offer enough advantages over CL, lacked fundamentals like error handling and was tied to the mountain of complexity called JVM.

Oh yeah, memory fails aren't the only cause, but they do tend to hit you very quickly. Nothing like doing production patches because you went from comfortably able to get done in the time period needed to "won't finish until next week". I can just see the developer face when seeing the loop join where it shouldn't be. Almost as bad as seeing FSM (full sort merge) on Ingress or full table scan on ASE or SQL Server.

That's really why I recommend SQL writers really study the plan generated. Its the closest thing to studying assembly to teach what the optimizer is thinking.

I still think the old Ingress plan viewer was pretty neat.
That transition period is unacceptable. It is unacceptable to accept it as an inevitability, and it is unacceptable to view a few hundred million as inconsequential, especially when the tools are present to solve the issue. In my eyes, once we get to the point where our complacency has allowed us to even think in these terms and still be able to sleep comfortably at night, we have already lost (I'm no exception, and this isn't an accusation). We've allowed power to condense to a select few, and we all feel like small fries in the big global stage.
It's not weird, there's a good reason for it. As I mentioned in a previous comment, its because the milks with a longer shelf life are UHT pasteurized, which uses higher temperatures for a shorter period of time than traditional pasteurization. They are typically labeled "ultra pasteurized." This extends the shelf life of milk.

Additionally, any time you see milk that is shelf stable (doesn't require refrigeration until opened) its been UHT pasteurized and packed in special aseptic packaging.

And, yes, I've noticed that, for some reason, organic milk tends to be UHT pasteurized more often than non-organic milk.
This is super interesting for someone who has no knowledge of the field. Has my interest piqued as to how they do it, what is number of bases, why do mice have more bases than us, etc. Very nice presentation wise, even if it is incomplete (as other comments state).
This comment is extremely uncivil and has absolutely no potential to start the kind of discussion this site is for. Please stop.
Here's an idea, somewhat tangential - modernize the freaking dev tools. It frustrates me that these projects still use mailing lists and have no sane UI to track issues, submit PRs like Github, or maybe a Gitter channel for ad-hoc chat/questions.

It would bring a lot more attention to whats going on and let the community start policing bad behavior by maintainers.

He even mentions how contributors will often not modify their PRs according to maintainer and view code review as a rubber-stamp. I rarely see this happening on Github - because PRs are a product feature. They've already spent time designing the feature just right to convey what the contract of a PR is, so the linux kernel maintainers don't have to. The README would also have a giant "Contributors" heading outlining the guidelines that everyone can see.

This is really a UI problem. But projects from Linux/Apache consistently refuse to acknowledge its importance.
Someone committing a robbery with drugs in their system would usually be included in drug crime, making it further difficult to figure out.

Agreed, this is a fantastic idea. All the DARPA documents from all three autonomous car related Grand Challenges should be availible. Not sure if they are all released on their website if not they're FOIA'able since most everything DARPA does is public.
> It just sounds bizarre and German seems to be the real victim.

I have no idea since both stories seem plausible. That said, this portion stood out to me:

"
In January 2016, a postdoctoral researcher reported that German asked her to perform a tedious task, which she believed was disrespectful, leading to a dispute. German was “red in the face and shaking with rage,” she said in her sworn statement.
"

Reading the docket NO. 1681CV01640 shows:
"
The Lab Manager, LaLonde, who would have seen German daily (until May 21, 2016), described plaintiff as "odd sometimes in his behavior, but nothing requiring immediate action, no danger to himself or anyone."
"
"
how they should treat him better and how he deserves things other people should not have. This behavior has lasted for a while.
"

That makes me question exactly who is the real victim. There doesn't seem to be enough evidence to know for sure. I've seen both types of things. I've seen advisors sabotage their pupils. I've seen pupils blame their advisors when things didn't go their way.

I'm sure we've all heard how Robert Openheimer tried to poison his tutor at Cambridge. Unrelated, but still worth mentioning is also a suspicious suicide of a former lover of his.

Openheimer got out of trouble, despite the attempted murder because of his parents influence at Cambridge. It is interesting that this article mentions German was with his parents as well. That swayed me a bit against believing that German was the real victim.
Not the parent but for me tasks like:

- basic refactoring

- go to method definition

- move back / forward in the history of selected lines

- project-wide search

- quick switch projects while reopening the files where I left off

are all faster (for me) in Sublime. Also auto-completion, though to be fair there are probably packages for this, I just tend to use vim for quick changes and haven't invested in heavily customizing it.
Also take into account that rely on the GDI API won't work in Azure App Services (which is where most new azure based web apps reside) [1]. It would be nice if this reduced some of the issues with 3rd party libraries (pdf generation etc) running inside of app services. We've had some issues having to keep old web/worker roles around for this exact reason and it costs us more money.

>Components rely on GDI API may not work on Azure Websites. The workaround is moving to Azure Web Role. (If you are using the ReportViewer control, we have enabled PDF generation for most applications.)

Well, there's no difference. When I'm working with people, I'm intentionally extroverting myself. We all do that thousands of times a day; the original concept of extr(a)version is rooted around the idea of object over subject, as opposed to just people time vs. quiet time. Since I'm focusing so much on the object, be it a person in question, an issue in question, whatever, I am by definition a (temporary) extrovert.

Now, do people think I'm an extrovert _all the time_? Some probably do, I don't know.

I carry a basic certification in psychometrics, and really enjoy this topic. When I'm working with someone who's really introverted and they "ignore the we," I consider changing my approach a bit, but first, I decide whether it's worth my time. Some introverts have developed a healthy approach to the object, so the fact that I'm selling something is just another information portal in their mind. They know it's healthy to be open to brand new ideas, to some reasonable point where they have understood the factual properties of those ideas. Others are so subjective that all they can think about is how what I'm selling reminds them of their uncle and his failed business, and the fact that he was a dangerous driver, or something. As a fellow introvert, that's sad to me because such a characteristic feeds directly into the concept of personal development. Any strength so magnified, starts to become a liability if not balanced.
Did you know that young monkeys of many species (rhesus, bonobo) have pretty gendered preference when it comes to the toy choice? Female monkeys prefer soft toys like teddy bears, while male prefer mechanical toys, like cars on wheels. Google "monkey gender toy preference", there has been tons of research on it.

This means that even if preference for pink was purely by nurture (which I also consider unlikely), the data on toy preference strongly suggests that preference for certain jobs or activities is not purely nurture, and has at least some nature aspect.

Now, it is difficult to quantify how much exactly is the split between nature and nurture, one of the reasons being the fact that lots of what you would call nurture would never take place if a nature didn't provide people with preferences in the first place. However, blaming everything on "upbringing, culture and media" is certainly incongruent with reality.
> My concerns with Cassandra are precisely here: this is easy to misuse it.

You get this massively scalable (to thousands of nodes and tens of millions of operations per second) database for free, and all you have to do is have your developers read about it before they use it. Is that expecting too much?

Let me ask this, then:

It's an OSS project. Let's pretend I'm a committer or on the PMC, and I'd like to fix this in a way that works for you. We need a null write to act as a delete. We need tombstones to make sure things that are meant to be deleted stay deleted. We have to have all the tombstones we scan in heap on reads to reconcile what's deleted and what's not deleted within a partition on any given slice query.

What would you want to see changed to avoid the tombstone problem? There are dozens of blogs around that say "dont write null values if you dont want a tombstone to be created" (like this article, or [0]), but beyond that, do you expect to see errors in logs?

We've made unbound values in prepared statements no longer equivalent to null/delete [1].

What else would you expect an OSS project to do to protect you from abusing it? Serious question.

These people are still commenting on use cases that clearly don't apply to them? I realize the Lords of Data like to lock themselves in their Oracle-built towers, lock away your data and access, and then every once in a while issue a fiat...

But you'd think they'd read about CAP theorem and cloud architectures while they're hiding from everyone.
I was looking at my original post you responded to. I was talking about catastrophic changes to speed based on data and machine considerations. They are not the only causes of problems but are often overlooked because people forget that this stuff runs on real hardware with definite limits beyond the query plan statistics.
This is a pretty one sided view of the problem. I don't see many arguments apart from a) "our model avoids burnout" and b) "it is easier to apply wholesale patches".

Regarding a) the opposite can be the case (for the maintainer!). Regarding b) the question is (as always) whether the patches are actually necessary or just some activity.

The problem is far more complex than this blog post acknowledges.
The Limits, and Possibilities, of a Robot Chef
The 14" Latitudes are great and IMHO strike a good balance between performance (you can get non-ultrabook class quad-core processors), screen size, and portability. Linux compatibility is usually pretty good, too (I'm currently using an E5470 running Fedora).

I usually buy my stuff from the Dell outlet (Catch them during a sale and you can save a crapton of money on a refurb).
I use a iPad Pro for exactly this case. I do 50-75% of my everyday work on it. I develop node.js and web frontends and iOS apps. I mostly do my node work on emacs on a remote server via Coda. Recently I've using swift playgrounds to do real work on the iOS side and it's been great, though often I need to break out the macbook pro for debugging sessions.
This is exactly the way I look at my gaming time.

It's no different than reading a novel or watching a TV show, except it's interactive, which I prefer.
"Why classifying people into categories is bullshit"

I hate these articles that assign a label to an individual. We are complex beings that constantly evolve as we go through life and explore various experiences.

You know who's better at sales? The person that has had a wide-range of experiences, understand the domain he's selling in, and especially one that can put themselves in the clients' shoes because he has been on their side of the aisle. That person can sell, because he/she understand the value proposition of what they are selling better than anyone else.

Any time I see an article that throws people into groups "Millennials, baby-boomers, white, black, introverts, extroverts..." I just cringe at how stupid it is to categorize people based on a single trait.

The day we learn to stop putting labels on everything, is the day humanity will change forever.

We are more than a label. We are human beings.

IMO articles like this should be flagged with reason: "label bullshit".

They've been tweaking it pretty regularly since the beginning. The initial release had no timed events at all, and only asked the driver for hands on the wheel when the system's confidence dropped below a certain level. Then they added some timers as well (I think before this crash) and have been tweaking the situations and durations. Right now, I believe at highway speeds it's either 1 or 3 minutes depending on whether you're following a car or not. (The system has more confidence when it has another car to track, so it's more lenient there.)

Solaris had a lot of useful and unique features, and was backed with a substantial support apparatus. If you developed a feature for Solaris that got in, it'd be documented and supported to quite a high degree.

If you wanted support from the primary vendor of your OS, and wanted a pretty high-quality Unix, Solaris would fill that niche for you. There's definitely a market for that, but not nearly enough to keep Sun or Solaris alive.

> retaliation prompted by German’s allegation of scientific misconduct against Rubin and two of his students. (The allegation was later dismissed.)

Allegations of academic misconduct can be a serious, career-ending thing, even if they are dismissed. If German did this maliciously, or even just negligently, Rubin might have been very justly incensed (but getting someone committed of course is completely unjustified).
Whether or not Trump is sincere, it is a commonly held belief among the American right that climate change is a fraud or a hoax perpetrated by "leftists" or, as Trump seems to claim, the Chinese.

To me, the problem is less that Trump claims to believe climate change is a Chinese hoax, and more that such insane claims are what got him elected, because they seem refreshingly honest to so many Americans.
Verizon to redirect calls made from dangerous Galaxy Note 7 phones
I do wonder about the effects of privacy-paranoia, but at a certain point it feels dishonest not to say this. We already know that people searching for Tails are fingerprinted on that basis. (And, confusingly, that Tor searches outside Five Eyes territory are fingerprinted, but Tails searches anywhere count.)

Of course, it's also worth pointing out that the cure for this isn't avoiding security and privacy tools. First because that doesn't help (someone knowing you use encryption still beats someone seeing what you didn't encrypt). And second, because normalizing these tools is a really good thing. Using browser privacy tools, and Signal, and whatever else you see fit isn't going to get an upstanding American in trouble, and it does help protect journalists and Turkish dissidents and all kinds of other people who benefit from these tools.

So yeah, it's a tricky question, partly because you need something quick-and-readable to say. I agree with you that statements about tracking privacy seekers should generally come with an addendum of "but it's still good and won't get you in trouble on its own".

Taking care of the merchants, the apps, and the reviews
During the Devonian and Carboniferous time (~400 million years ago) Earth was like 20 degrees warmer and CO2 was really high.
Science does not remove agency, it's merely determines how much of it was there in the first place imo. For example if you attribute agency to the orbit of a planet, then science only determined the exact places the planet will ever be in, it did not remove any places the planet could ever be in you just did not know about it.

Edit: Also I think the conclusion of the book is wrong. it's not nature that is filled with agency, it's that we ourselves are not really agents (like the article implies at the end).
