> As a Software Developer, working with Jira is just a pain for me.

Said every software developer ever about every bug tracking/ticketing system ever.

> Trello, on the other hand I introduced to some colleagues, and the simplicity and ease of use is very satisfying.

Said about every new bug tracking/ticketing system ever. Until you need to do X, and we need to track Y, and Z needs to sign off before ...

The real problem is that most developers write shitty bug reports. The reason for all those annoying fields in the bug reporting system is that most developers won't include them without it.

There is a fine line between having a bug reporting system which is just sufficiently annoying enough to the end users to give just enough information to the people fixing the bugs.
Here in the Silicon Valley, there are three very large medical groups: Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, and Sanford Health Care. They represent over 22,000 doctors.

Specialists still seem to work from private offices, but my experience is that most doctors work for large medical groups where they do not make the technology decisions.
Yeah, my familiarity is with the city proper, original streetcar suburbs, etc. I know modern suburbia is cheaper the further one travels from the city center, but this seems just another high price.

Also, I judge the lot value by how much it would sell for without the house. The price for empty (fill-in) lots is ridiculous. I'm all for the market setting prices, but this isn't that. This is Federal interference and local building lobbying.
Calculating the true retention rate of Airbnb
I'd just like to clarify that the Xbox One controller doesn't include a rechargeable battery. It's an expensive add on.
If you have agreed a date with the new employer then you should stick to it. Your current employer will forget about you the day after you leave and will not care that you changed your leaving date to accomodate them, well maybe for a week they will. You want goodwill with your new employer.
It's from Techcrunch not FB. They use retargeting/remarketing ads and sell this info back to Facebook. A lot of websites do that... It's actually easy to find out what people browse on the web only by looking at their FB news feed. If you see a birth control ad on your girlfriend's FB news feed - run away!
I migrated back to Firefox from Chrome recently after hearing this news. Though Flash is becoming less and less relevant, but it was bit annoying before.
I think there is an implied "for somebody else".
Few reasons:

1. Firefox crashes would take down the entire browser, not just specific tab

2. I often load a lot of tweets in Twitter.com tab (back 4 hours). This causes Firefox to freeze.

3. If I refresh the slow tab, I watch memory not being clean and still stay there for several minutes. Chrome clears memory very quickly.

4. Why is the space around address bar so large? They are like 15 px top and bottom. What a waste.

5. Postman is only Chrome

6. Chrome Dev Tools is 10x better

I have no complain about CSS rendering issues or anything like that. It's mainly just performance. Also I tend to use Firefox in the firewall because the Proxy feature works quite well to connect to my internal lab.
All the Venture Capital and Fundraising Bloggers You Should Be Following
If you don't mind me asking, how does someone start with Q/Kdb+?

Can you learn it with just the free version or realistically does it require working with it in a professional setting and learning from others who already use it.

Are there any sources you recommend for a someone just starting out?

Thanks.
If he made the layout a bit uglier, and made the language more esoteric and generally difficult to understand, this would make a fantastic academic paper.

But seriously, what a wonderful world it would be if all papers were this well written.
As a fellow European migraine sufferer, my go-to drug of choice is Solpadeine (marketing name, OTC available, contains paracetamol (500mg), codeine (8mg) and caffeine (30mg) in a single pill, you normally take two pills at once. Aspirine is ubiquitous as a separate pill, which I rather like, since I personally rarely benefit from it and some people (notably children, but also people with certain hematological, gastrointestinal and kidney problems) need to be more careful with its use. I also sometimes get migraines that don't seem to respond to Solpadeine, but respond well to simple ibuprofen, so between those two I'm mostly covered. YMMV, of course, I just wanted to note that there's definitely a variety of cheap OTC options available in Europe, you may just need to look around for them.
> Eric Ruark, director of research at Arlington, Va.-based NumbersUSA, which advocates for limited immigration, said Mr. Trump could use an executive directive to tighten the U.S.’s Optional Practical Training, or OPT, program.

Sigh.

I don't think the solution is "lets make lives shittier for skilled immigrants". Just end the visa at that point.
It's relatively easy to flood his email. Imagine how much fun an Eastern European kid can have with this. All he needs is a database of cards to cycle through.
Happens with me all the time
Personally, I think it's cliche to always invoke charity as a way to lessen some perceived negative or appear to not be profiteering. After all the VC firm is clearly not a charity (his business in other words) so why is it necessary to walk on eggshells and always donate money to charity. To me this is just a typical pc correct way of doing things.
Depends on how you define better. If better means running old games and demos more faithfully, there's DOSEMU and DOSBOX. If better means emulating newer processors on older ones, there's Bochs. None of them supports KVM (except maybe DOSEMU??).

For KVM use, QEMU is pretty much the only choice with support for a wide range of guests, architectures, and features. lkvm (aka kvmtool) doesn't support Windows, UEFI, s390 hosts, live migration, etc.

At the same time, QEMU's binary code translator is improving. As pm215 said elsewhere, 64-bit ARM guest support is much better than x86 support, and we're also working on SMP which is scalable and pretty much state-of-the-art for cross-architecture emulators (of course QEMU is already scalable to multiple guest CPUs when using KVM, but doing it in an emulator is a different story).
Yup my thoughts too, plenty of imitators already exist (many using Reddit's existing open source code too) to take their spot if they fuck it up.
It could still be the case that it's interesting if it only deals with near perfect bricks. If that reduces the labor needed to complete a project by X amount, then a construction company may still be interested even if the bricks cost X/2 more, in total, than other available bricks.
That's the theory. And it's certainly something that fits well with the idea that we're all better off with annual physicals and other types of preventative healthcare. From what I read, the evidence is pretty mixed. Sure, have your physical and do other preventative care, but the results are statistically at the margins from what I can tell. (which is, of course, relevant if you're at that margin.)
How to build Apache modules in Swift
More worryingly, only one of the Sydney selective schools actually is vaguely representative of the Sydney population. James Ruse, for example has far less students from low-income families than Cumberland High does, which is on the other side of the street.

In practice, the selective school places are awarded to the children of parents who are willing to send their kids to coaching college throughout years 4 and 5. Hence the higher asian population. Actually having a high IQ (my two children were tested by a leading psychologist above 99.8% and 99.9% of the population for example) doesn't get you there.

And slightly worse -- if you are smart and are accelerated, then you hit high school below the age range for which you can sit the selective test.

The result is that schools such as James Ruse underperform: when the candidature were all in the top 1-2% at year 7, there are plenty of year 12 students who don't get even in the top 5%.

But in principle it works out very well. The teachers can run classes at a rate more appropriate for the students, bullying is less prevalent, etc. So it's definitely worth doing (for the students) if the entrance criteria are half-way sane.

The effect it has on the students who don't get into selective school though is a bit sad. It's also depressing for the teachers at comprehensive schools who may be working just as hard as those at the selective schools, but won't get rewarded from having highly successful students.

The basic breakdown of disruption was okay for someone unfamiliar with the idea, but the writing was horrible. It was littered with 1-3 sentence "paragraphs", bold text and exclamation points. And sentence fragments. And often a combination of multiple irritants!

To be honest it felt like it was written for people who aren't really comfortable with reading anything longer than a few sentences at a time.
I just messaged Kim Kardashian on this thing haha. She jumped on it fast https://21.co/kimkardashian/
As I mentioned, once things were configured in a game, it worked mostly. But for no good reason, would fail sometimes either at detection, or if I turned the controller on before opening Steam in big picture mode, it would also often cause conflicts with it not knowing if it was a mouse, or a game pad, or a controller, or what it was supposed to be.

There were enough forum posts around with folks having similar issues, that I guess I just assumed you had to be willing to spend time tinkering a lot if you wanted it to work, and thought contacting support would end up being an even larger time sink.

Those are just a couple of examples. Attempting other games would end up with incorrect mappings, incorrect button listings, not working, and more.

Very inconsistent and unreliable.
Your statement may be valid, but the two links you provided don't seem to have much to say on that topic. The first refers to a bug currently fixed in current GA Firefox, the second is a rant about Tor bundle. If reblogging snark is the standard of proof here, anyone could justify any "modern browser" as "worst".

My counterargument is that Firefox has always and continues to support tools such as NoScript and uBlock that prevent whole classes of attack. And Chrome, for example, is pwned like clockwork at every contest for exploitation. Behavior and not platform is the biggest determinant of security online.
militarist/nationalist

If they could've gotten over the whole ethnic thing, things might look a lot better now.
I'm not sure I agree with this 100%. About two years ago I had to have shoulder surgery and so couldn't go golfing with my buddies -- I ended up making a mobile app to mimick the one used by the PGA Tour where I could track all of their scores online as they played so I could still participate in the banter with my golf buddies. A big issue was the fact that I wanted the live updates but had to deal with pretty spotty connection around the course.

I ended up using Firebase and it handled that case just BEAUTIFULLY right out of the box; the data updates optimistically on the player's own device, and once a connection is established Firebase syncs it with the datastore and all other phones update accordingly.

I would say that this is some pretty sophisticated behavior that I, the developer, just used right out the box following documentation.
So you're argument is that because women are treated differently we should treat them diffently? You aren't advocating equeal treatment but for more unequal treatment.

And how exactly are women treated poorly?

>Where is that written?

That is how property has historically been justified. Read up on property rights if you want to learn more about it.

>I would like to point to you that your "private property", including your own body, could be considered as a "natural resource" ready to be exploited by other agents in the environment.

The principle of property rights is that you cannot make use of natural resources that have already been appropriated and turned into someone else's property, so no, another person couldn't simply exploit my property/body under the property rights framework.
Wait, x86 still requires instruction emulation for non-weirdo non-legacy cases? My vague recollection of the KVM Forum talk G. did was that you don't need it for "modern" guests.

(We were talking about emulation-via-just-interpret-one-instruction in userspace in upstream QEMU the other day -- you'd want it for OSX hypervisor.framework support too, after all. And maybe for the corner cases in TCG where you'd otherwise emulate one instruction and throw away the cached translation immediately.)
I understand. I agree! The current system is not working for anyone. I also think that the system you have described, in which gifted students are placed with their less gifted peers to raise them up, is identical to the current system. What you have described is literally identical to a system we have just agreed does not work.

As a result, I believe that what you describe does not work.
>I am astounded by the negativity my comments have received for relaying long standing tensions and issues in the transgender community on relation to mainstream feminism. It's as if any time you ask the community here to look at historical context or complexity in social issues people just shut down, despite the fact that this site is made up of such a well educated, creative group of users.

No, it's that you're not suggesting useful, effective alternative actions. What symbol could people wear on their heads or bodies which would convey trans-inclusive feminism, and be recognizable easily by the masses?

Sometimes issues are complex, but messaging has to be simple. This is a painful, but necessary, trade-off: you can't expect everyone looking at your protest hat or sign to be "woke" and understand your complex beliefs. You don't get to issue moral condemnations against over-simplifying a good thing, provided that it does net good, without offering some strictly superior alternative. When you try to condemn an over-simplified good thing, you're basically just supporting doing nothing, which right now is unacceptable.

What you're saying also sounds, well, a lot like political hostage-taking. While I'm on board with trans-inclusive feminism (AFAIK), I don't see why feminism broadly should be held hostage by whoever's angriest or most judgemental about trans issues.

Would you cancel the Women's Marches just to dispute about symbolism? That would amount to telling cis women they're not allowed to have their feminism unless it conforms to your feminism. Political activism is about interests shared in common, not about hierarchies of wokeness.

> The symbol perpetuated a continued trend of trans-exclusion, in your example it would be as if people selected to march under the symbol of crosses when protesting on behalf of all religions.

I don't really think so. Women are women, after all, trans or cis. If you see cisgendered female anatomy as innately trans-exclusionary, well, that may be your problem, since after all the whole point of transitioning is to come as close as possible to actually having that very anatomy.

If I march for socialism with a hammer-and-sickle symbol, you would apparently be the person to tell me hammers and sickles exclude shovel-using construction workers. It's a symbol! It means whatever people want it to mean, and your interpretation has to carefully way your own prior experiences with those of the people putting forth the symbol. Language has to communicate, not merely carry moral connotation.
You do not have a right to take someone's capital from them without their consent. You also do not have a right to privacy that you voluntarily give up. This is really basic logic, that you're failing at.
Sure, there's plenty of dirt cheap land in the US some of which even has electricity and water available for a possibly non-trivial hookup charge. (Or maybe you tank in water and use solar.) But the problem with building a house on that land (or plopping a mobile home) isn't the cost of the house. It's the fact that it's nowhere near jobs or other amenities people want to live near.

ADDED: The cost of housing in rural Nevada isn't what people are complaining about when they talk about the high price of housing.

I really want to start using bitwig (it seems like Ableton, but better), but I can't afford it. In all honesty, I'm using a cracked version of Ableton that I found man years ago, but I can't really find (or securely test) bitwig cracks.

"It's just so convenient to be able to pull up on my phone the tab I had open on my browser when I'm in the kitchen cooking, or whatever."

FWIW, Firefox supports syncing tabs between devices as well.
> their main drawback: k/q (like clever regexes) are often write-only code

This depends on the code reader's mentality. One line of k (or q or j or apl) would do what 10 lines of verbose languages do. For verbose languages, your expectation is spending 1 minute for 10 lines of code to fully understand it; but for terse languages, you need to change your expectation to spending 1 minute for only 1 line of code. You are not going to understand anything if you still want to spend 6 seconds per line.

On the other hand, proficiency is important. You read English articles in a slow pace in your first grade; you are not going to be a speed reader without practice, even if English is the only language you speak. No one would expect you to speed read Japanese right after you can compose simple Japanese sentences.
If you're talking about Pwn2own, they've dropped Firefox
from the competition __because it was too easy to exploit__ [1].

I quote:

"For the last decade, the Pwn2own hacking competition has pitted the world's best hackers against web browsers to try and find zero-day vulnerabilities in a live event. The contest, which is sponsored by HPE and TrendMicro this year, is offering over half a million dollars in prize money, but for the first time, not a penny of that will directed to Mozilla Firefox. While Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Apple Safari are targets, Firefox isn't because it's apparently too easy and not keeping up with modern security: "'We wanted to focus on the browsers that have made serious security improvements in the last year,' Brian Gorenc, manager of Vulnerability Research at HPE said."

How is that for a slap in the face?

Selectively reading what you like and ignoring the rest
[an entire section in the second link is devoted to Firefox issues that have nothing to do with TBB, including the conclusion] won't change the basic facts. Another point those not in the security domain miss, is that there are plenty of exploitable bugs that are deliberately kept private. Those who have visibility in these circles (such as thegrugq) are obviously in a much better position to appraise how secure a software system really is. Trying to determine how secure Firefox is just from CVEs and bugs that are made public will only lead you to a piece of the entire puzzle. In Firefox case, even that alone should be enough to trigger RED ALERT in somebody's mind.

The best
we can all hope for is for people to stop using Firefox and flock to alternatives that raise the bar significantly.

You make good points, but they're not super relevant to the article (if you read the article it's clear that they're not talking about big cities, nor are jobs and amenities mentioned, other than the point I mention below)

Part of the problem is that Prof. Christensen used the word disruption to name his theory. It's a common word, and has partial overlap with the process he describes. As a result, some people mean what he did when they say "disruptive innovation" and other people just mean an innovation that can disrupt someone or something. That said, if he had named it something else, it may not have been as popular or widely referenced...
I have an undergrad in computer engineering, and an MBA from a top-10 or top-5 (depending who you ask) school. I learned a LOT from it, even though my experience after my undergrad degree was mostly in business.

Businesses, finance markets are far more complex than people usually think, and if you like to learn, an MBA is a great way to build a solid base for being a product manager, or a director who actually understands the sides of the company: how products are made, how they are sold/monetized/etc. and how to manage the overall structure of the company.

Sadly, I know a lot of great product managers, directors, etc. who are former engineers and have little understanding of competitive strategy, market forces, economics, marketing & finance.

In terms of learning, I took a generalist approach, but focused mostly on strategy & game theory, finance and technology. Here's some of the key things I learned, which I actually use frequently:

- Overconfidence bias: we usually think we're better than the average on something we know how to do (driving) and worse than the average in something we don't (juggling), even if almost nobody knows juggling and everyone knows how to drive

- No alpha (aka can't beat the market): you can only consistently beat the market if you're far better at financial analysis than a lot of people who do it every day all day. So don't bother trying.

- Value chain vs. profits: you'll find that most of the excess profits in the value chain of a product will be concentrated in the link that has the least competition

- Non-linearity of utility functions: the utility of item n of something is smaller than item n-1. Also, the utility of losing $1 is smaller than (1/1000) utility of losing 1000. This explains insurance and lotteries: using linear utility function, both have a negative payout, but they make sense when the utility function isn't linear

- Bullwhip effect in supply chain: a small variation in one link of the supply chain can cause massive impacts further up or down as those responsible for each link overreact to the variation (also explains a lot of traffic jams)

- Little's law: in supply chain (and a lot of other fields): number of units in a system = arrival rate * time in the system

Sadly, a lot of people in my class weren't that interested in learning, and focused solely on the networking and entertainment parts of the MBA.
This. Yes.

As someone who was classified as "gifted" and went to one of these special programs, your third point is a common occurrence.

All that aside though, I think the very notion of gifted-ness is harmful (in a labelling sense) to both the are's and the are-not's. Your first two points are relevant on this. For that reason, I'm not sure we should even discuss/judge gifted-ness, regardless of whether it even exists.
