How this is happening, the exact trajectory of how much worse these things are (and its potential to worsen) is somewhat terrifying, especially when you consider the cavalier disregard and easy ignorance that this policy represents. I know classmates and colleagues and friends who are discussing, in their groups and communities, how to best help people stranded, whether or not vacations and returns to see ill family members must be postponed or canceled, and how future plans to stay, live, and work in the U.S., or abroad, must be changed.

-

While it's been easy to think about many possible negative outcomes in the proceeding days, weeks, months, another subtle aspect of this policy's ramifications is how it weakens trust and faith in the concept of stability for future American policy — the likelihood of future government actions, executed with little to no foresight, warning, or serious consideration, with serious consequences. How this effects this country's current reputation as a place to study, travel, find work, and start families + settle down can't be understated.
Transactions are "hard and slow". Distributed transactions are hard-er and slow-er. Random 32 bit integer additions are likely "good enough" and are fast and simple.

Also, assuming that their storage is directly some FS, you don't have access to the transaction. You can't do a distributed transaction against something that, as a black box, does not appear to do any transactions.

In this case, doing a distributed transaction would mean to use an entirely different storage solution. A transactional one supporting TPC or similar. Magic counters sound good enough yet? ;)

Homosexuality is a "problem" of maybe 3% of human beings.

So, now should somebody be proud of this, and attributing it as a "gift of God Personally Himself"?

Are you really so blind to not see the obvious?

That's one of the reasons I was thinking. But why pay for my travel expenses for twice if they see that I'm undergraduate at first glance?
That won't help change attutiudes. It will reinforce existing attitudes.

"See! Immigration is good. These immigrants and their kids are building services!"

"See! Immigrants are hiring other immigrants and their children to provide lower cost labor and networking out-of-country and locking us out of the market."

If you want to change, you need a slogan like

"American made, American owned, American labor." along with the (now disappearing) attitude that American is not an ethnicity, it is a lifestyle.
"sometimes forcing people to make a choice and not hiding behind relatives could open the true priorities"

This could be quite interesting. I'm sure I have picked up on some of this now -I'm an immigrant. My spouse knows all this stuff about me, and I was able to let go of some of the familial baggage. It is really freeing, at least for me.

But I don't know if that would be the case other places. I'm in Norway, and the culture tends to be (publicly) accepting of folks and treating folks as equals. Obviously this has its limits and there are some downsides. Discrimination and racism persist nonetheless. The king, though, puts out inclusive statements and it makes me feel better about being here. I'd love to know if such things were the norm or not - and I'd love to see that data.

I still don't really get what's so special about "cache-control: immutable". Isn't it the same as setting the cache expiration date to something like in a year or two? Why is a special property needed for this?
We had filtered internet at home. I learned a lot about networking and VPN's because of that fact.
The ban itself isn't relevant to it supposed goal.

Between 1975 through 2015, 17 foreign-born folks from these nations were convicted of carrying out or attempting to carry out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil and they killed zero people. Zero Libyans or Syrians intended to carry out an attack on U.S. soil during this time.[1]

It's all bullshit.

I developed on one of those for a year. It was awesome for basic web development. I did a lot of react and ruby development on that thing.

However, my workload eventually evolved to require running several docker containers (micro-services), which really killed overall performance. React-native development was similarly painful. Ultimately, I was forced to upgrade to a thinkpad, but I will always have much love for that little chromebook.
I am specifically referring to the Brexit referendum, where the majority of voters did vote in favor.

Does the block have 500 shared-bike riders present at any particular time? Conservatively assuming that the average rider is riding an hour a day (which would be 24:1), a 5:1 riders to bikes ratio is also a conservative assumption. If there are that many riders, then by all means it's reasonable to have 100 bikes present as well. If there aren't enough poles and racks, the bike company or the city can plant some more. It still won't cost near as much as maintaining the streets.

You forgot flashing green, which does actually exist, at least in MA. You treat it like a green light, but it could go yellow and then red if a pedestrian presses the walk button.
That's unfortunate about the surface mount.

As a word of encouragement, I know one can do complex surface mount soldering with just a few specialized tools.

I picked up a good stereo zoom microscope from craigslist. Mine is a Leica but I also recommend the amscope and similar models you can get online. They're a chinese rebrand but I've used those models and the optical quality is great. I recommend the models with a boom arm if you have the space.

Then you need a hot air rework station.

You can apply solder paste manually from a tube - just squirt the paste onto the pads. This is uneven and will require clean up with an iron and sometimes multiple tries.

Get a no clean flux pen also.

If you want to do more than one PCB, I highly recommend using a solder stencil. I recommend getting PCBs from Seeed studio in china - 10 PCBs starts at $20 (total) plus shipping (around $40). Throw in a solder stencil for another $20. When the stencil arrives use heavy scissors to cut out about two inches/50mm around your design, take one of the pieces of stiff board that the PCBs are packaged with, tape down some extra PCBs around one free PCB, and then tape the stencil on the top so it lines up.

Get some solder paste from Digikey or Sparkfun and use an old gift card to squeegee it onto the PCB. Then lift the stencil up using one piece of tape as a hinge. Super easy to do this at home.

Now place on parts using tweezers and the microscope.

Then use the hot air gun to slowly heat up the PCB till it's all about 260C, and then turn it to 360C and briefly melt the solder at all locations. Then let it cool.

If you want to do this regularly, invest in a T962A soldering oven from ebay for ~$300 from ebay.

I did a kickstarter for a little wireless internet of things board, and this is my process for home assembly. When you want to do mass assembly, consider Seeed studio. I had them assemble 4000+ boards and it mostly went well. I did have an issue with an incorrectly substituted part so be very clear about what work you expect done and be clear about which parts you will accept substitutes for. They did make good on their error and I would use them again.

My email is in my profile if you want more tips on SMT soldering.

For reference, here are two board that I soldered using the above techniques:

EDIT: For PCB design I previously would have recommended EAGLE, but now I would recommend KiCAD. I have not yet used KiCAD, but this is just a learning curve issue (new software versus a busy schedule). If you're learning from scratch and want a tool you can use forever, I'd recommend KiCAD based on recommendations from others.

I've gotten 2 relocation packages in the last 5 years that were very different. Both were for senior developer positions, neither in any of the tech hubs.

The first time I was given $2,500 to move from FL to AK to work for a small consulting firm. Really just a token gesture, but it paid for the ferry and hotels for the drive up. I had to arrange everything myself, pay out of pocket, and submit receipts for reimbursement.

Second time I moved from AK to TX to work for a large financial institution and the total was $22,000 and some change all together. They flew me down to house hunt for a week all expenses paid, then flew me down again when I actually moved. They had my car shipped, I had to drop it off at the port in AK but it was delivered to my house in TX. They had movers come to my place and pack everything, then deliver and unpack everything on the other end. All I had to do was pick the dates for everything to happen. It was like a military move but better, because I wasn't in the military anymore.

Yeah, I don't know about his fmri and its interpretation. I'm always very skeptical of this sort of "evidence". In the past people have used fmri data to support any old hackneyed, half-baked theory they wanted, like for instance, that bit about women not being able to park cars as well as men because they have a worse spatial sense [1].

As to his mental disability, I agree that if it's true that some people are mentally disabled (to any extent) in one area, but not in another, that's something surprising and possibly useful to research further.

But- is it true? That people really have an extreme level of development in one faculty, but not others? How do we know that it's true? What are the experiments done that confirm it, if you want to be scientific about it? What is the standard of proof?

Let's look at Kim Peek- people say he did pretty amazing things beause he could calculate your birth day from your birth date and he memorised facts.

OK, well, calculating your birth day is through and through a parlour trick. Here's a guide that says how to do it: [2]. If he had been guessing the card you picked out of a deck, nobody would think he was a savant, but people probably wonder "how the hell did he figure out the date"? It's an algorithm.

The same goes for his powers of recall (it's a parlour trick and something you can train at) except it's also possible to fake it, in the way I suggest above, because nobody really keeps that sort of fact handy and they'll probably not be given the time to check.

So the question really is: was the guy really as mentally disabled as to be unable to learn how to perform those quite traditional parlour tricks?

Right off the bat, the very fact that the two things he's remembered for -calculating birth days and recalling news items- are standard entertainment numbers suggests to me that he trained. Otherwise it's a bit of a coincidence that his unique superpower just happened to be exactly the same one exhibited by trained professionals.

Which also suggests to me his mental disability was not as severe as people think it was, and that instead media reporting has severely distorted our image of his (real) disability.

And for all of the above, I want to know why people insist that he had ("documented") superpowers. Where is the bloody documentation?

I read this book too. A few things that standout in addition to the article are: 1) His never ending frugalness, he counted every penny he ever spent. He did this from the very start and wrote it down. He was a very rich man yet his kids did not grow up as your typical rich kids. To the point of wearing hand me downs. He really had respect for money. Which is important specially if you don't have much. 2) He financed the founding of University of Chicago one of the most respected universities worldwide. 3)Never selling any of his stock in Standard Oil. That's why he became so rich. One of his brothers had a similar share of standard oil but he sold part of it over time so John D. was far wealthier that his brother because of it. 4) He started as a bookkeeper, no college. 5) He worked hard but made sure he rested. Short bursts of hard work followed by rest. Never worked on Sundays

Those are just some of the points that stuck in my mind. The book is a great read. In school, I only got the bad side of Rockefeller. But this book gives a better balanced view of his life. It is long but it's worth the read.
OK, so this is why I have to press shift every time I reload the app I am developing! Great job.
uuh... how is your daughter not a US citizen?
What's scary is the new immigration ban affects legal, permanent residents. US legal, permanent residents that have firmly rooted their lives in the US, only to be told they can't come home.

The man openly campaigned on the premise of "keeping certain muslims out of the country" and it is snowballing to even affect you. But you want to worry about labeling the people who voted for that as racist.

I wish you the best, I really do. I hope the pressures from silicon valley and the people change things for the better, but we'll see how that plays out. If this first week is any indication of the next four years, we're in for a constant bombardment of our sensibilities. Daily they will say something that we know is a lie or put forth something that will hurt people and say it doesn't. Pretty soon we'll be thinking "am i the crazy one?"

I have an Iranian friend whose parents are visiting and they'll be leaving soon. If this ban becomes the norm there is a good chance he'll either never see them again or never be allowed back into this country where he came for a better life.

I choose not to sympathize with those who constantly put people in power to oppress me and my loved ones. Again, fuck them and fuck him too.
Yes we should, and Muslim refugees are also victims of religious persecution. Unfortunately, Trump's order says we only care about your persecution if you're in the religious minority in your country.
Then say something like "means things like the Glowforge", instead of "probably means a Glowforge". One denotes membership in a certain class, providing an example.

The other unambiguously suggests the example is the culprit. And as other posts in other threads suggest, the printer, whichever brand, being the source of the CO poisoning isn't even certain.

I don't work for Glowforge, and you may note my other comment in this thread, which could be taken as critical, so I'm not biased or trying to spin "damage control". And yet, I too think the thread's root's language could be more precise.

It's impossible to tell the level of autonomy from this article. What was shown in this article could qualify as Level 2, 3, 4 or 5.

To provide proof of Level 4 autonomy with video (in certain conditions), it would need to show adverse and exceptional conditions, such as terrible weather, accidents ahead, all routes to destination blocked or any other situation short of a force majeure disaster and then provide a safe contingency for that.

In San Francisco, that would probably mean finding a parking lot where it is safe to wait for assistance from your Transport Service Provide(tm). In rural northern Europe where I'm from, it would mean parking on the side of the road and calling your wife/mom/friend to pick you up :)

Oh dang. It took me a year to get my wife's VISA when I moved back to the USA. Also, she will likely not be allowed to enter the country if you are moving here until she has a residency visa. The #1 immigration rule is you can't enter the USA if you have plans to immigrate. Good luck with that.

When only 10% of drivers apparently know the correct way, the problem is with the system not the drivers.

Better signage and more consistent (state to state) rules that make common sense would go a long way.

Keeping in mind what is common sense to a biker is many times counter-intuitive to a driver. I hate the unprotected bike lanes on the right - as a driver you simply are not expecting people to be passing you on the right, on what effectively "feels" like a shoulder. It amazes me there are not more deaths due to this, to be honest.

After I spent some time in the Netherlands and Belgium I realized this was not just me. Those systems actually work and are designed with "road sharing" in mind. Everyone gets where they need to go, and even a dumb foreign tourist who knew nothing of local traffic laws could operate a vehicle safely amongst cyclists.

Even if it is damage control, it's a legitimate request if any. Their brand could be damaged by mere speculation, especially in this case where it involves a founder who seems safety conscious and most likely an ally for people who care for user safety.

> Things like multiple airfares and real estate broker fees sound like you have a sense of entitlement. Those shouldn't be covered in my opinion, those are the cost of leaving your home.

I know you said those only apply to the bay area, but those were covered when I took a job with a fortune 500 financial institution. They even flew me down all expenses paid for house hunting several weeks before I actually moved. It was just a senior dev position, not even a lead. I think it's fairly standard for larger companies trying to attract top talent.
Maybe GP meant something like FFI? Which is a mechanism that allows for any mutation you'd like and is present in most FP languages.
The sort of facts-and-figures type of Democrat doesn't realize that politics is not the same thing as the technocratic administration of society.

Politics is not an optimization problem, it's not about finding the "optimal" state of affairs or whatever.

It's about hopes and dreams. It forms the horizon of the destiny people imagine for themselves, both individually and collectively.

It's also about virtue, morality, sacrifice, etc.

You may sneer but the masses do not.

This is why Democrats lose. They have no vision. What they offer right now is the same boring, stagnant, soul-less status quo, guided along by accurate reasoning about facts and figures.
I recently started getting very interested in air quality in my house. I decided to take a similar approach to air quality that I do with the stock market: lots of small, well distribute bets whenever possible.

For context, our house is 3 levels with a furnace in the basement (cold climate; Canada) I ended up with 3 different brand of CO detectors, 2 different brands of smoke detectors and 1 radon detector.

By far the Radon detector is the most expensive at around $250 CAD, and least critical for the short term (but for the long term concerns, anyone with a below grade section of their home should have one!).

A decent Co + smoke detector (You can often get them in one unit) should cost you no more than $30-40 CAD. Testing a CO detector isn't super easy (not like smoke detectors - just make some well done toast), but I'm trusting that if i have several different kinds well distributed throughout the house at least one of them should save us.

I focused on keeping detectors both near and & inside bedrooms, as well as having a minimum of 1 smoke + CO detector on the other floors in open spaces.

Unrelated to these gasses, I also purchased VOC sensors. These are SUPER interesting. It's amazing how the VOC level rises after a few days, and all it takes is opening a window for a few hours to bring it back to lower levels. We were renovating recently and found that after virtually every contractor the house needed hours of windows open to bring the VOC level back down to something that the sensor considered "good quality" (lower than 450 ppm).

Hope that random rant was interesting to someone :)
To me that's not an immigration ban then, it's a race ban.
This. I am from Turkey, and i will be nervous every passing day from yesterday on, watching news to see if Turkey is added to the list. I am still years away from naturalization, and it saddens me to think about relocating, after having left where i was born for a better and productive life.

Nobody chooses their birthplace, but these are the people that decided to make a change, and in a way that historically benefited the us.
