Point taken, but I believe when Obama did it, there was already someone appointed to take the outgoing ambassadors place immediately (at least, here, it was the case).

A changing of the guard in these roles is (as the article I posted pointed out) the norm.

However, In the current case, no one knows who the replacement is, or when he/she will be taking on the role, thus leaving us officially without an ambassador for the foreseeable future, and also resulting in the longest gap in 70 odd years that we have not had an official ambassador.

The concept of a President being pressured into waging war in Libya by a Senator and the Secretary of State is just absurd. Obama was the Commander in Chief. He could have said "no" at any time. No one forced him into it.

Nope, we have that awesome homeostasis thing going on which is why our bodies (and brains) can live in such a wide range of climates in the first place.

If you get hotter than your behavioural adaptations (shade seeking, splashing yourself with water, turning on the air conditioner) plus your own inbuilt capabilities (vasodilation, sweating) can handle, then you pretty much overheat and die.
Is there any reason why you do update() in parallel?

I wanted to come up with an architecture that could support an arbitrarily large world given enough resources. Up to a certain density (from 150 to 250 users per "subgrid") I was close to succeeding.

Afaik a game loop's update() is not the intense part in the game loop but rather render() and IO()

"Render" in the context of a server like this is the IO. One thing you should know, is that this game supported Conway's Life cellular automata at 12 frames/second, completely shared and multiplayer.

I taught myself programming after graduating from art school. I never took calculus or trigonometry even in high school, so my math skills are as basic as you can get as an adult.

Still, I'm currently trying to teach myself math because it seems like it will help me improve as a developer. It's very hard, though, to learn this stuff when you're 32.
Great, so we can now expect more and more sites to start playing "null" audio as a "workaround".

NPS is in charge of the National Mall. They are heavily invested in the truth of statements about their work. Just as it was appropriate for intelligence officials to state they believed Russia hacked DNC servers, it is appropriate for the agency in charge to correct, lets be generous, misstatements about how many people attended an event they helped coordinate.
As mentioned further up, it's brutally difficult without anything like this. The App Store shows ratings for only the current version by default so after you slave over each upgrade, you lose all the great reviews you've carefully collected. Those ratings are critical to your success in an already difficult marketplace.

Almost no one goes out of their way to review your app, so the majority of reviews you'll get are disgruntled people, often with unfair or unrelated issues.
Tinder asks you to review it almost every day, even if you already have. I really don't like this, it feels like bullying, or like they're annoying you into leaving a positive review.

But wasn't it the Parks agency that tweeted about the crowd size, not the EPA?

And is the current administration simply going to shut down or fire everyone who shows any form of push back towards the regime? Isn't that what they do in places like, oh say, North Korea?

1. The National Park Service hosted the event. Seems like it would make sense to post public information about the crowd size when there was a lot of public debate and misinformation about it. I understand your frustration thinking they would always look out for the president's best interest, but this was a pretty clear fact they were posting, not some kind of political opinion.

2. December 3, 2008. That's when that article was published about giving notice and starting to find replacements. Same as every other president does.

3. Serious question. Are you paid to do what you are doing right now? I have a really hard time understanding why you would post that link which is specifically framed to spread misinformation as it is about a completely different point in the presidency. Seriously, this is your country. Why would you intentionally attempt to misinform your fellow citizens?

EDIT: I expect a response. You said Obama did the "exact same thing". Which is an outright falsehood and posted an link that is from a different period to intentionally misinform people. In some countries what you just did would be considered a crime.
Not really. Think about every object you'd have in Java that's being passed around your system. Now imagine each of those objects are their own processes and you're passing around references to them.

Just on that one case, you've taken huge chunks of a linear execution pattern and parallelized it. Now make that your norm and amplify it to everything. Now realize that the message passing allows this mode of operation to spread each part of this workload over not only more cores but more machines across the network.

And then realize that you can deploy updates to this codes individual parts while other parts continue running without taking down the whole system.

Then you get Erlang.
The implication of the parent comment is that it's all the same - every movement, group, etc. are equally wrong or right. That's a common defense of propaganda, but it's not reality.

Nobody is perfect; everyone is a bit ideological, but some are much more rational and empirical than others. All coders create bugs, but not all coders turn out equal quality code. Everyone is a bit violent, but we aren't all equally murderers. There are major differences, and the current conservative movement is heavily ideological; I think my hypothesis holds up very well.

One party is portrayed as increasing the scope and power of government while the other advocates for smaller, but we know that this is absolutely not true in terms of government spending and headcount. There is no party that has advocated explicitly for more government for no reason. The issue is around what we as a society consider a minimum viable government and how we can go back after a new agency had been created. It just sounds like rotting code and a bunch of microservices written by different generations of teams instead of just a single team picking a vision and sticking with it. In my view, going back and forth from one ideology to another as different parties rotate has resulted in an effective system that has the worst of both liberal and conservative ideologies implemented.
Dude.

I can't gather the motivation to practice any
skill that I'm not already naturally good at,
even when I really really want to be good at
that skill.

Symptom of the universe. Most people really want to be good at things, but just flop through life like a fish out of water. The world is mostly like this.

Similarly, I can't take care of pets, or even
plants;

Yeah. That's normal! I have chit chatted with so many pet owning city dwellers who have explained to me how stressful having a dog is, to the point of taking valium. My mom killed plants regularly throughout my childhood, and still does. It's a hobby. That's how it works.

I can't be anywhere on time;

No one can. It's not a disease. Punctuality is actually hard. It requires serious dedication. That's why it garners high degrees of respect.

and I forget at least one thing I absolutely
need to bring with me every time I leave the
house.

Yes. Normal. So normal, that stand up comedians earn millions of dollars helping people realize how normal that is. People don't laugh at those jokes because they're fraught with bizarre and alien concepts.

Meanwhile, the relief you describe is the very premise of stimulant addiction. Stimulants make people feel like capable superheroes on the up, and miserable incompetant failures on the comedown.

I'm going to over simplify this, but I really have noticed two types of developers that I have worked with and/or managed. There are engineers who favor the science, engineering and technology aspects of what we do. They tend to love learning new algorithms, building libraries that do complex things or just simply trying a new programming language as opposed to building a video game or the next popular app.

Then there are the developers that see the code and job more as a tool to build something and enjoy the process of completing a project more then the technologies used to do it. They tend to build video games or fun apps.

Both obviously like technology, and have to dabble in both sides of this simplified equation, but they favor one over the other.

I find that the engineers that like the science, engineering, and tech side of programming are the people predisposed to over engineering. On the other hand I find the people who enjoy finishing projects predisposed to not making something extensible enough.

I really think there is a good mix of both of these types of programmers in every dev environment of any size.

The real CA Senate vote happened during the June primaries, which decided the candidates that would appear on the November general ballot.

It's actually not a terrible system. A lot of folks are typically reluctant to vote for a third-party candidate because it feels like throwing your vote away.

Instead, CA's new "top two" system gives you a chance to freely vote for a third-party candidate (in the primaries), and if that candidate loses, you get to re-cast your vote for one of the more popular candidates during a second round.

It's just different than what we're used to. It's not perfect (I'd prefer to see something like approval voting, or instant-runoff voting), but I think it's an improvement.
Haha. Remember when they first introduced apps and they had access to everything? So people were tracking who was viewing your photos the most etc. It was the Wild West out there.
Of course you can implement an inherently serial algorithm in Erlang. It just won't run N times faster on N cores.

Not at all. OpenSSL was suffering from a lack of effort/funding and a desire not to 'break' anything. Systemd has plenty of effort and breaks everything, but a lack of philosophy, a lack of introspection. It's ignoring plenty of hard lessons about security practice and being very Microsoft-y. Massive technical debt which we will collectively pay for for a decade or more.
Regardless, the EPA has done vastly more good than harm[1] and the remedy for bad speech is always more speech--not censorship.

I know this, and have even complained about it in the past to Chrome engineers (as it allows an attacker way too much control over getting security sensitive tabs into the same process, further weakening the way overstated security benefits of having separate renderer processes, which is often muddled together with the actual/real benefit of separating processes by capability, as with rendering, networking, windowing, plugins, etc.), but there is also a limited number of processes: as I believe the default is 35, if you have more than 35 tabs open across all windows you are guaranteed to have some tabs sharing a process (by pidgeon hole principle).

Realistically, you just can't use the Chrome task manager to find slow tabs :/. I'd argue that Firefox's recent work in about:performance is actually more useful for this purpose (though isn't very good at dealing with large numbers of tabs that are each using only a small amount of CPU; the real solution to that, though, should just be tab suspension).

Just like a private company can have speech codes without running afoul of the first amendment, so can the US Government for its employees. That's all it is - not some law, but an employer mandate.

The first amendment applies to law governing speech.
On the surface, I agree with the author's reasoning that eventually many millennials will "grow-up" and want suburban homes for their kids with better schools. And this makes sense because it would follow trends in the past.

However the author is missing a couple key components that lead me to believe the future will not be like the past. For example...

1.) In the past there were suburbs to move to. For example, in the 80s and 90s, Contra Costa (Walnut Creek, Danville, etc) were being developed as a viable suburb to SF. However, as far as I know there are no new suburbs being developed that provide a reasonable commute time or distance from SF.

2.) Of the suburbs that exists, those that are a reasonable commute time from major hubs are still pretty expensive. Again Walnut Creek maintains its value quite well. So it's not really a "cheaper option" from the city.

3.) Baby Boomers are living longer and staying in their suburb homes longer, which doesn't give an opportunity for millennials looking to start a family to move in. I've long since thought that instead of building new suburbs, we should be looking for options to move empty-nesters from their 4-bedroom homes that they don't need anymore. All of my friends parents still live in their suburban homes because they have no other options for the most part.

4.) Author assumes all millennials are waiting to have kids. (They're not.)

5.) We have plain old population growth to rely on. Cities collapsed in the past because there were places for people to go and a relatively smaller population. I strongly feel that we've exhausted a lot of those options while our population continues to grow strongly (at least in the US). Therefore, cities will remain full simply because of lack of other options and population growth (both by birth and immigration).
>So, I'm all for building more housing, it's really the only thing that can fundamentally fix things, but it sounds like we need to get better at building cheaper housing.

I don't disagree but I think people will object to "cheap" based on aesthetics. The closest thing I can think of is Soviet Union I know they used prefabricated elements in their building construction. People love to complain about the ugliness of Soviet style architecture.

No. Wrong. The world is the problem. Human expectations of sky-high social norms is the problem.

What does "currently shipping iOS devices" refer to? People who buy an iPhone on the web store today will have iOS 10.3? I just checked on my iPhone and the latest is 10.2.1.
I've used Safari Books, Pluralsight and Egghead.io.

Pluralsight was pretty good. I got a lot out of a number of videos. Since they cover a variety of topics, it was great to spin up on something when I needed it. For instance, I was working with Redis and needed to pick up Lua so I took an hour, watched a video and was on my way. This was about a year ago and their selection around Javascript was a little lacking for the topics I wanted but that has probably changed by now.

Safari Books is fantastic if you like to read. They also have a ton of books on other topics so it makes it a much wider resource depending on your goal. At the time, I was doing quite a bit of "intrapreneurship" so it was nice to grab a book on product development, business and entrepreneurship.

I currently have a subscription to Egghead.io which is way more front-end focused. Around Christmas, they tend to offer a year long subscription for a reduced price which I picked up. The topics don't tend to be as varied as Pluralsight but I think the depth of a lot of them is really good. For instance, I got more out of the Egghead videos around Angular and React than I did from Pluralsight.
yeah, I almost didn't include that, but I think he still counts because he ran in on a wave of rampant populism, bowling over the entire Republican establishment in the process.

The winning bid for a house is from someone who can afford to pay $1000/mo, and there are no property taxes. The house sells at whatever mortgage $1000/mo buys.

Now, add $200/mo of property taxes. The winning bidder now pays whatever mortgage $800/mo buys, since there's nobody who wants to pay $1001/mo overall for it (otherwise they'd have won the other bid).

Taxes on the unimproved value of land are pretty much equivalent to seizing ground rents. That doesn't really make things more expensive.

I find it interesting that people in this thread are quick to point out that you might not save much money when you move to the suburbs because of transit and extra time costs. I think people are failing to realize a large people do (and I plan to soon) move to the 'burbs is because they can OWN a house. Even if owning won't save money over renting, there's a lot to be said for having something that big to call your own. Something you can create your own lasting memories in.
Except that they stopped giving estimates over 20 years ago:

"For decades, the National Park Service provided official crowd estimates for gatherings on the National Mall but no longer does.

The policy changed after the Million Man March in 1995, a gathering of black men meant to show renewed commitment to family and solidarity. The park service estimated 400,000 people attended the march, making it one of the largest demonstrations in history in Washington.

But organizers believed they reached their goal of 1 million participants and threatened legal action. No lawsuit was filed, but the dispute was enough to get the park service out of the head-counting business."
