Or initially dislike them but get in the habit of liking them?

That's exactly the point of having a goal. It gives you a nice end state that you can look towards so you can get past the day-to-day unpleasantness of actually forcing yourself to practice.

Different people have different motivation systems. I, personally, find it very difficult to do something without a goal in mind. If I try, I end up giving up very quickly, as my subconscious keeps asking, "What's the point of all this?" If I don't have an answer for that question, it's very difficult to keep going.
Yeah, I'm keen to avoid that :)

While it no doubt works, it wouldn't integrate robustly with other systems. I guess the integration factor is what interests me. I'm unlikely to be able to afford an all-singing all-dancing monolithic solution, so I'd prefer plug-and-play components.
I don't know those platforms, but Scuba doesn't support relational operations. It's not as much of a limitation as it sounds like because you can log your data in a denormalized way.
This detects differing structure layouts between compilation units which is simple to do given some metadata in the object files. On the other hand it also shows why detecting ODR violations for executable code is non-trivial, because same source code compiled with different compiler flags can lead to different output that might or might not be compatible (enforcing same compiler configuration for all compilation units is certainly non-starter, think JS runtime vs. FFmpeg, 3D renderer vs. physics simulation...).

> A lot of legacy, sure, but I think this article makes it sound even more legacy than it really is.

Indeed. The point of the talk was that 1) legacy is often assumed to be bad not for any real technical reasons but just because it is legacy and 2) a lot of what was being presented as legacy wasn't even legacy. Their OS 2200 version was actually newer than the Oracle DB they were using on the "modern" side of the stack.
I found the same thing. Now I make a conscious effort to look at my recent notes every 3-4 days.

I use my kindle to get German books quickly. The kindle vocabulary builder is super useful.
I ported my numbers away after running into so many issues where services would use my native phone number rather than my GV number (placing a call from my car, the person on the other end sees my native number, even though I have everything set up properly)

And living in an area with spotty service... native SMS always send, and the GV "over data" SMS usually fail. Unless they can fix a LOT of issues AND add incentive to come back, I think I'm fine without it for now.

In general terms you are right, but at its lowest level there exists at least a division between the owners of the means of production, and the workers. I believe the workers themselves are further divided into two classes - those favoured by the owners and those who are seen as disposable.

The owners invest in any means that will reassert the legitimacy of their dominance. That includes purchasing political influence sometimes by paying directly into the political apparatus and other times by manipulating the workers into giving consent to the policies they prefer.
The Clinton Impeachment, which was blown open by the media leak of the stained blue dress on the DrudgeReport. The media was largely silent on Obama's scandals, but he had plenty, off the top of my head: IRS targeting of political opponents, U.S. Ambassador death at Benghazi, Secretary of State Clinton's mishandling of classified data on her personal server, giving guns to the Mexican cartels (Gun Walker), Chinese hack of all the federal employees' personal information, etc.
If it's in the US, it is by no means illegal to have employees work on public holidays.
I think part of the problem is wanting 'driver' to always be a reasonable job, when shift-length limits are also preventing drivers from working the mammoth shifts that made it pay like a reasonable job before. People working 70+ hours to get by were really working something like 2 - 3 low-paying jobs all along, now they have to be different jobs.
Interesting bit:

>in 1970 the number of Hispanics was arrived at by a computer model that listed everyone with a Spanish surname as Hispanic

because census in 1970 did not allow differentiation Hispanics. It also probably means that decrease in whites from 70's to 80's is overstated.
No. Software at that scale is humungously expensive.

I worked on quoting an insurance policy core (just the core mind you, not the extras), and for a medium-sized insurance company it would reach that amount of money.

Interestingly at today's White House Press Briefing, a reporter asked the Press Secretary whether the Trump Administration thought that it could surround/contain China with bilateral trade agreements the way that the TPP had intended to do on a multilateral basis.

China has a couple of free trade deals in the region. It has a multilateral effort (RCEP) which is somewhat stalled and primarily pursued bilateral trade agreements.

This may put American and China toe-to-toe in reaching agreements with Asian Pacific states. There’s a question about the quality of the trade deals that can be reached, if the target nations are clever enough to play Beijing and Washington off against one another.

The Trump Administration has suggested that bilateral agreements are better because they don’t devolve into “least common denominator” the way multilateral deals do; and that they also allow the deals to be quickly withdrawn from or renegotiated to account for new realities.
I'd agree. I've been trying to think of why I like orgmode and todoist and toggl aren't the same, it's that I can manipulate it freely as text without being blocked by the structure or hitting a use-case unanticipated by the authors of the app. I can also extend it easily and have done so.

In that way its benefits are similar to pen and paper.
Also, he wrote some non-fiction which is eminently readable; "How the World was One" on the history of telecommunications, for instance.

Most of America isn't a great place for those with children but not wealth!

I think what makes San Francisco a target is that it isn't a great place for those without children who would be classified as wealthy in any other part of the country.

You can probably find a path to home ownership in a safe neighborhood with decent services in any city in the country if you are in the upper quartile of incomes for that area.

The housing prices in San Francisco are such that most incomes even in the upper quartile would take a decade to save for a downpayment. You need two incomes (Two working parents) in the upper quartile of incomes in the area to get you to home ownership in a good neighborhood.
I mean, there are 319 million people in the USA, so the top 1% represents over 3 million people which is easily about a million homes. That's enough to be an industry.
The point I'm trying to get across is that I don't think you are wrong but I do think we are different.

I agree that chat and calls and email all are beneficial. I use them all every day and they work very well. I agree that writing can help focus thoughts and it also forms documentation that will persist long after a conversation is forgotten.

I can even see where all of those things are enough to make up for a lack of face-to-face conversations for many people.

But it isn't entirely enough for me and I prefer not to have it implied that that means there is something wrong with me. I don't think that is your intention but it can come off that way. (Actually sorry reading through replies it isn't you doing this primarily but others)

Some people work better remotely, some people work better primarily in person. Yes I can deal with having remote colleagues, but that isn't the way I work best. Just like you could work non-remotely and instead physically go to work every day, but that isn't the way you work best. I don't think either of us is wrong, just different.
Which is funny, because remote workers almost to a fault work TOO MUCH. It becomes a lot easier to blend work and life. For some people that's okay (if not an ideal situation), for others it's not, and they either figure out how to segregate the two and work a normal amount or it becomes a one-way ticket to burn-out.
But all the countries we're comparing to are developed economies with similar GDP per capita.
And that is why crypto-hackers use bitcoin!
The answer is simple: time-travel technology is never developed, because human society implodes within a few decades and humans go extinct, or at best, revert to a more primitive existence and then evolution makes them progressively less intelligent (Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book about this, I think it was "Player Piano"). Personally, I think human society will look much like "The Walking Dead" within 10 years.

The other possibility is that reverse time travel is physically impossible, and the best we can do is peer into the future with wormholes (as in Arthur C. Clarke's book "Light of Other Days"), but unable to actually affect the events of the past.

Your lot is that you were born a human being, on planet Earth, in this time. You cannot change that. You are, however, fully in control of your thoughts and actions, and can live in the present and make your time as aware, useful and meaningful as possible. If you do that, you will be better in the future and your future self will be grateful to your present self.
`publish` vs `finish` I think is a good clarification of what I think the commenter meant.

Going further though, I do think I prefer `published` to `publishable`. Fighting through the last (sometimes most difficult steps) to get something in the public means a lot to me.

Additionally, it's also easier to demo something that's available on the public web.
OCSP and CRLs both work based on specific serial numbers. Serial numbers are not really sequential either (a portion of it has to be random).

The closest thing to what you're describing would be the Expect-CT HTTP header[1] which can be used by site operators to instruct browsers to always expect a CT-logged certificate from the site (or more specifically, to expect qualified SCTs to be provided for the site's certificate). I believe this feature is planned for Chrome 58 if I'm reading the ticket correctly[2]. Presumably, this will be available as a preloaded flag for domains at some point as well (like HSTS preloading).

More than likely it used Automatic Block Signaling, invented in the late 19th century. Train detection is done by looking for the electrical leakage across the rails through the steel wheels & axles of the train.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_block_signaling

It can't handle as many trains as centralized control, but it has the advantage of not needing a network in remote areas - just buried wires. It's the equivalent to relay logic.

This is pure nostalgia. Bill Gates has always been about the money from day one.

Bill Gates largely made his fortune by creating an operating system that OEM's would want to ship with their computer. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but Windows 3.1 and 95 were absolutely made for and to attract money.

Prior to writing my response I did a brief search and in less than five minutes found multiple such people. Here are some:

3. John Banzhaf - http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/president-obama-is-wrong-on-...

And here (http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2015/12/constitution-chec...) is a discussion that points out that it's a complicated question and "led some scholars to the confident conclusion that a flat ban on Muslims would now be upheld, without judicial interference."
That's a kind of time travel as well, thanks for pointing that out.
So apart from having separate disk+network namespace, how is this different from a virtualenv? I feel like configurable sockets and paths should provide everything this can, but with less overhead.

I was inspired by a HN post I saw some weeks ago and thought I'd share this with others since I'm quite proud of how well it's working.

In places like the Bay area and Manhattan, it is not atypical to see rents of 4-5K for a 3 bedroom apartment. My personal experience (n=1) indicates that many of these places are inhabited by young adults (single or childless couples) who accept roommates as the only way to survive in these expensive areas. I don't consider this type of expensive real-estate luxury (despite the price tag). If you go to the middle of the USA or the southern states, you'll find luxury apartments/houses with all the mainstays (as the article put it) - large master bedrooms, home theatres, etc. The people buying these make a lot less than 300K I can tell you that (80-100K income will get you there and the home price would be 400-500K).
It's the opposite - instead of React Native mapping HTML elements into appropriate native components, websites are just another platform target. You write your components using normal React Native components (Views, Text, ScrollView, etc.) and the `react-native-web` platform converts that into structurally (but not semantically) compatible HTML.

The nice thing is, this is how all platform targets work. It's the platform extension's responsibility to map React Native to their platform. In the case of layout mapping, this typically involves mapping to the `Yoga`[1] layout engine on that platform.

The thread is discussing the value of this type of conceptual presentation to a design portfolio. 'Conceptual designer' by your definition would basically mean 3D visual artist. That's not quite 'design' as it's being discussed here, though I wouldn't call it academic or instructional either. For design work, the final product rarely demonstrates the skills needed to be a good designer in real business settings. Hiring managers want to see the process that led to the final product.

They act shocked because they don't genuinely care about people being deported, families being ripped apart, providing support for displaced people, or just in general not displacing people in the first place with wars and disastrous economic manipulations half way across the world.

Ironically, I stopped using Western Union ten years ago because of all the completely inappropriate and personal questions they would ask whenever I tried to do a transaction. Questions that I would expect during airline screening and international travel - but not for a company who wants to win customers and business.

> The issue with your suggestion BTW is that manufacturers probably couldn't sell to them because doing so would violate their contracts with existing dealers.

What I want is a Chinese manufacturer, who has no previous presence in North America, entering the US market and signing a nationwide exclusive contract with a single retailer.

Picking a name from Wikipedia's list of Chinese automakers, let's take Great Wall Motors. They have no presence in the North American market (the closest they come is Costa Rica, which is in CALA). Let's say that one day, they decide they want to sell in the US. So they sign a contract with Walmart where Walmart will be the sole retailer in the entire country who would be allowed to sell Great Wall cars, and Walmart will sell them the same exact way they sell any other appliance (though perhaps Best Buy would be a better choice of retailer than Walmart, since a much larger chunk of their business revolves around selling appliances).
Comparing to Tableau, Scuba is schema-less and doesn't require any setup beyond creating the table (which doesn't have any approval process in the way and gives you a reasonable amount of scratch space to test before you get serious) and then having data arrive. Once Scuba is aware of your column by you submitting data for it, it allows you to query/group based on it very quickly. Scuba is entirely real-time. There are some other projects to do pre-computed aggregates if that's important to you.

I haven't used Splunk in ~7 years, so I can't remember enough about it to compare well. Splunk has some structured-on-top-of-unstructured stuff in it, whereas Scuba is always structured. If you want to turn something unstructured into something structured, you generally run a separate pipeline to do that (using one of the tailing frameworks for your preferred language). In terms of the alarm system in Splunk, we have other systems for handling that using the data that flows into Scuba.

Well, thank you for demonstrating quite clearly what I just wrote.
Probably. The question is whether or not the US can still negotiate a better trade deal on our terms, but China will definitely seize this chance to propose their own less-drama version for other Pacific countries.
