I remember hearing on the Presidential podcast (from the WP), that after losing a congressional election, GWB promised to never be out-churched or out-countried again.
Again, mostly due to eroded expectations over several decades.
I'd say the context just makes it worse, since it would have been so easy to word it in an unobjectionable way. Give exceptions for people suffering from religious persecution, and you're all set.
Well I'm glad I didn't invest in this monitor yet! My desk in less than 2 meters from my wifi and I can't move either easily... (wifi mounted to ceiling, nowhere else for the desk)
> If you manage to get any moisture or air into your brake systems, say goodbye to your brakes.

That isn't true at all. You just bleed the air out, it's really easy, I've done it multiple times using just a small $5 brake bleeding bottle.

The only way you'd get enough water in your brake system for it to cause a problem is if you poured it in there, or left it open for several days.

The brakes are the easiest [major] thing of all to to fix on a car. Your caution was completely unnecessary.

Hi, Julia, CrowdJustice CEO here - have edited for clarity.

Happy to answer any questions! And can pass on specific questions about the case to LAJC too.
Yeah, that's a good one. What would you recommend to focus – Flask or Django (or maybe Tornado), given that I like to wire stuff by myself (so I enjoyed building an API in Golang)?

This has been one of Trump's points for quite a while now. The USA will no longer subsidize the security of other states, unless there is some method of repayment.

Echoing tonyedgecombe, I'm not interested in the support model. I've spent a number of years as a sysadmin and developer on call, it's not the most enjoyable part of the job. Appreciate the comment though.
If you ask me rust is also not for programming systems. (the error handling specifically)

Side note: Who even started the whole "x is a system programming language" ? Who said you can't write "system software"[0] in just about any language that can (directly or indirectly) do "lower level" things. For example the MS Singularity OS has a virtual machine and all the drivers and everything is high level code.

>Would I want my init system written in Java or C#? Hell no. Would I want it written in Rust? Yes please maybe it will crash less and have fewer CVEs.

Contrary to popular belief init systems are simple and can be written in any language. Not to mention that when people talk about inits they don't think about the actual initialization part (mounting, setting network, etc) but about the starting of programs part. Those two things are similar from a far but are really not so much.

>I have a belief that every time a C developer switches to Rust, users benefit (unless developer goes crazy from Rust's cognitive load, but this is a separate issue :) )

I have a belief that people should make up their own mind and do whatever they want. This topic is about C and only about C. All other talk is "noise".

Note that i actually like programming in C as i like optimized programs, so i may be biased. (although not nearly as biased as the rust crowd)

Could of have also been Siemens trying to game the system. Oh look nobody local passed this test we gotta hire foreign workers who work for less money and avoid unions....then they fail to give the test to their foreign workers who might also fail the test.
Because BlaBlaCar is NOT a taxi service. They can't operate in Europe as a Taxi service, as it will be illegal to have a Taxi service without the proper permissions, paying proper taxes, etc. So they are doing REAL car sharing. Some one helps you to pay for the cost of the trip, and that's it. It's the old car pooling but more teachy.
Best alternative?
I don't believe it. Maybe if you add up all the initial grants, but those vest over 4 years but I would bet a rock-bottom offer to a new grad is more like $120k/year or even $100k/year.

Still ample for an H1B (well, under other bills) but I suspect this will put significant upward pressure on salaries in the tech industry.
That is such an unfortunate acronym...
That's like saying that one should debate creationists or flat earthers.

Exactly. I had back trouble, and visited a couple of therapists over the years who would massage and manipulate. I eventually realized that I was an income stream to them, and that I'd keep going back every time I had trouble.

Then I found a physio (= physical therapist) who treated it but also gave me an explanation for what was wrong, an exercise regime, and told me that, in the nicest possible sense, she hoped never to see me again.
Why is that the only choice? I don't get this idea that you must either obey or resign. What's wrong with refusing to obey, not resigning, and giving your superiors the choice of accepting that or firing you?
The system has been good for you and I don't begrudge that. I'm happy for you. But besides its successes, the current system has fomented a fair bit of abuse of h1bs and suppressed American citizens wages... at least based on what I've seen as a longtime developer (working with h1bs and contractors at times) and job hunter. But it was put in place with the long-broken promise that it would not do that.
How does it feel, knowing people with the mentality of 6 year olds are doing more to affect change than you are?
Web Caching with Consistent Hashing [pdf]
Thanks! Very helpful gist.

The problem with Clojure is that I am not very proficient in JVM (actually, I know very little about it), and I know only basics (like create a simple REST CRUD), so I have some doubts that I'll end up getting job just studying language and platform in the evenings.
Interesting to see envy at play. Uber is a great company with dedicated staff who go out of their way to make our lives easier with their incredible products.

I mean, isn't Uber just an app after all. The drivers using uber during the strike are the ones who decided that instead of joining the strike, it would be more beneficial to them if they went about their business as usual.

This could have been because:

1. They needed the money they were getting from driving on Uber for their daily bread.

Or

2. They were Trump supporters as is their right. Are we saying their lives should stop for a cause they do not even support? That they don't have a right to hold contrary opinions?

This brings me to my last point. Uber is a business and they cannot be forced to pick sides because their customers all hold opposing poltical views. If they did this, then nothing would get done because we'd have Republican businesses and Democratic businesses.
Currently a lot of research is computed using Condor to schedule jobs and yeah, they span across multiple machines, like how Jenkins master/slaves work. It's been a go-to for many HPC research.

There's been some effort individually to integrate Docker with Condor (after all, both are just processes running on some host machine).

You don't actually have to measure individual cell temperatures and voltages. A thousand fasteners is nothing special, and you don't need to have circuitry on each cell either. You're making batteries out to be much more complex than they actually are.

I work for a company with a couple of heavy Angular-based apps.
They are pretty easy to support/extend for anyone with a decent level of JS knowledge.
The backend API they are talking to and some of the business logic in the apps is kinda tricky but that's not angular's fault per se.

The downside is for candidates looking to add a hot shot tech to their resume, Angular isn't all that sexy, but for anyone with JS knowledge willing to spend a couple of days getting up to speed with the app itself (the "tool stack" is minimal - npm, grunt, bower, browserify and since it's an existing app they are learning by example) - this is almost a no-brainer.

Announcing Aerobatic transition from Bitbucket
I really like the look of the MP01 by Punkt:

There are two features that would be very hard for me to give up though: maps and streaming music.

Unfortunately I have a feeling that "must haves" are different enough from person to person to make a semi-smart phone impossible.
> My car is due for a brake fluid flush soon, not sure if I will do that myself or have the mechanic do it.

If you have the knowledge to jack up your car then just do it yourself, it's really easy, even better if your car is such that you can reach the fluid valve by the wheel without jacking it up.

Buy a brake bleeder kit, it's a small bottle with hoses.

You'll need an assistant to press and release the brakes on command.

Keep an eye on the fluid reservoir and don't let it go dry or you'll waste even more time and fluid bleeding it. Keep it covered at all times, open it just long enough to fill - don't do it like the mechanics, who just leave it open since it's not their car and they don't care.
It really is! Especially the black ones. They used a few different manufacturers, but all the ones I have feel pretty good.
If I am not wrong this sets the wrong precedent, although it is hardly surprising that he has done this. I get a sense of Hitler and the Nazi party idelogy from this, they killed their opponents, now it is just firing & shaming & blah blah that their trolls do. But these things start innocuously, nobody knew that Hitler would turn out that way, not even thise who were mesmerized by his charisma, they staunchly supported him and later woke up to the horrors too late when Berlin was bombed ( I recently watched Man in the high castle, hence Hitler Nazi)
This monitor was Apple's chance to ease the USB-C transition and IMO they blew it.

The previous gen Thunderbolt display effectively brought all the useful ports[1] back to the MacBooks with one cable, and made even the Air viable for a professional. It certainly was a big factor for me back in 2011.

Unfortunately with the current 5k display, the three included ports aren't even USB 3.1 gen 2. Like many other pros, I prefer to have dedicated keyboard/mouse, speakers, and Ethernet, and would have been happy to run a second cable if it brought those things back.

Right now it's looking like our best 'pro 5k' option is duct taping a hub[2] to the back of someone else's display. And it's not clear which hubs support the 15" MBP 87W charging requirement.

Feels like such a missed opportunity.

What he wants violates the law:

"a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"

not what he did (the EO), which debatable in terms of legality, the EO could be legal as the president has a lot of power on immigration, though the former AG thinks not.

Re the media question, it was just an example of a recycled talking point in the OP's comments, which tipped me off that they are in fact a Trump supporter.

There's a great movie that's worth a watch if you are interested in this history. It's a fictionalized ( and likely highly dramatized ) version of a real meeting[0] that took place between the SS leaders and German governmental types at the midway point of the War to discuss the "final solution" for the Jews.

But it does illustrate how regular men whether through self-interest, fear, bullying, or expediency will let themselves be talked into, or rationalize themselves into some truly horrific things by fanatical types.

I believe I caught it on Netflix or HBO[1].

Personally I feel it is not really about "grass is greener situation" (though of course it contains part of it). What I want is to be a better developer, to learn new platform, to get familiar with Linux, with processes, with infrastructure and so on.

Working as a front-end developer, you are pretty isolated, and while it is possible to communicate with other departments (what I do), it is still seems like a different level.

So I want to shape myself as a better software developer, along with trying new field.
> and states that the refugee's claim should only be prioritized if they are legitimately a religious minority

WTF does religion-based persecution have to do with "legitimately [being] a religious minority"?

You are aware that people are persecuted for questioning doctrine of the religion that they nominally belong to? That people are persecuted for being gay on religious grounds, even if it's their own religion?

If you seriously believe what you wrote, you simply fell for the superficial literal meaning of the words. The actual, and quite obviously intentional, effect of banning entry from muslim-majority countries and then making exceptions based on belonging to a minority religion is discrimination based on religion.

"End result: an unreasonable hatred of the left and democrats."

Is it irrational to hate those who find your religion, race, gender, education level, employment, state of residence and political affiliation to be "deplorable"? After all, the Democrats started it.

A near perfect consensus of legacy media self admittedly being politically aligned with the Democrat party doesn't mean their propaganda is true and any other political spin is fake news, it just means its dominant in the legacy media, which is rapidly losing influence, leading to people not under single party control gaining leadership positions...
Well I think $130k/year is unfair for companies located outside of california, Newyork, MA, Chicago. I think this bill would benefit companies in those locations where cost of living is very high. What about a company in North Dakota or west Virginia. I don't think any company can afford 130k/year in these states, rather they will outsource their jobs(paying 30% tax). I think salary limit should be set based on the state and it should be set as-least 110k/year for other states where cost of living is very low. Well I think This bill is introduced by democrat to help his state.
I don't understand why Uber shouldn't have broken the strike. Their competitors decided to shoot themselves in the foot thinking it will help the refugees, and Uber swept in and took advantage (arguably). Coupled with the fact that it uses Saudi money to subsidize American drivers, who surely include refugees among them, I don't see why everyone has a grudge against Uber.

That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying that part of the process.
I went from 2 1440p to one 32" 4K and 1 1440p.

It's been one of the biggest productivity improvements since moving from 640x480 to 1024x768.

The 1440p is now only used for minor stuff like email and not really necessary anymore.

I soon moved to a 32" 4K at home as well, because I just couldn't stand just 1440 anymore.

One of the interesting parts is that I don't use 4K fully: it's too much surface are and your head tilts too much to see everything at once. But what's great is that I can put a background process as full screen in the background and have a 3500x1800 window in front in which I do my real work. So I can observe the proceedings of the background talks without having to toggle windows all the time.

To work with a small group of freelance, maybe people facing the same problems, and to try the small business path seems the only way out for me. One needs to be in the path for financial independence. The problem is real, tnks for sharing your concern.

All of the other commands have been namespaced by what they deal with, so I think it makes more sense in the come t of everything else.

Right, but the CEO needs to instill a culture of not cheating. If the CEO has that culture (and can show it - lots of ethics training and other decisions that reinforce the idea that the company doesn't violate those rules) then you go down the chain to the rouge manager who hid his action.

This isn't just a theory. On of my companies competitors (I do not know which, I was just given it as an example) was caught bribing officials in China. After investigation it was decided that it was a rouge manager and not the CEO: they has a policy of not bribing, everyone was trained in recognizing how something (even a meal) could be seen as a bribe, and when other unethical action had been taken in the past the company took action to stop it and treated the whistle-blowers well. The CEO got off because he did everything in his power to ensure this wouldn't happen.
