Yes I know Muslims, a big part of the population won't eat dog or pork etc. But not because they are considered purer, but they are considered impure.

Vegetarians/vegan are a minority for now.
For those who tried screensharing, does it have a pointing-feature (i.e. viewer can point to something)? There's so many products out there like Skype and Hangout that don't support it and I don't understand why not, it seems pretty basic to me (just only show the arrow on platforms that support it, i.e. OSX, Windows and Linux).
Correlation is not causality. The people getting banned from twitter are Republicans, but that is not necessarily why they are being banned. I'm sure you can find lots of alternative correlates with the kinds of profiles which are banned from twitter.

Whereas on Breitbart you are explicitly banned for dissent, on twitter, there is only correlation.

Both doubling and halving on a base ten counting board (e.g. of the style commonly used in Europe up until at least the 16th century; Roman counting boards were presumably recognizably similar, though not much physical evidence remains) are very fast and easy.

To halve any even group of pebbles, just remove half of them. To halve a lone pebble resting on a line (representing some power of ten), just move it downward into the adjacent space. To halve a number in a space (representing 5 times a power of ten), replace it by 2 pebbles on the line below, and one pebble in the space below that. These operations can be done very quickly and fluidly with a bit of practice. Maybe not quite as fast as operating a soroban, but not inordinately much slower either.

Historically nobody performed arithmetic calculations by writing down a bunch of intermediate steps on scratch paper using Roman numerals (for one thing, paper wasn’t available in the time of the Romans and both papyrus and parchment were expensive). Roman numerals are just a way of recording the finished answers to calculations done on an abacus (counting board).

> You're trying hard to be annoying, I suppose.

No, I'm not. That's called 'disagreement' and it can happen.

The only thing I note is that you don't know what options this man has available to him since you are not in his shoes and you can simply assume that he's trying his level best to do the best he can - just like everybody else. So unless you wish to increase the number of options available to him I don't think you should be telling him what to do, just as he wouldn't have any standing to tell you what to do.

None of your other assumptions are relevant to this and besides I wasn't making them.

I'm not sure what backend you're using, but you might find it simpler to integrate Mercurial, as you can basically access it as a Python library [0].

Though, Mercurial doesn't have a particularly great git-export story, so syncing to GitHub or the like is harder. (Fossil has a better story there, with first-class git export, but a different workflow, and harder integration story (a RESTful JSON API)).

Git tends to be harder to integrate with, as there is sort of an expectation you'll maintain a shell process for it. [1]

As to zipping, with Git, you need to zip the whole repo.

Fossil can zip files upon storage, or you can zip the *.fossil file.

Mercurial can bundle with gzip, to simplify things a bit.

My point being, though git can give you some nice places for users to deploy to, it can be a bit of a pain to work with, and a couple other SCM systems might need to be considered. They might make your life a lot easier.

Instead of worrying about wages, how about letting people do what they want and maybe fix the broken work culture that favours people who pretend to work hard?
Technically, you should learn the most general tools first. Java is not one, it is designed to be explicitly limited.

Both Python and C++ are general albeit Python had a major disadvantage in performance while C++ in clarity. (That said, more modern versions of both have the disadvantages reduced.)
Yeah we have the same experience, I'm surprised hangouts works so badly for others. As long as you invite the chromeboxes to the same meetings as everyone else, it's super simple to operate and for everyone to join.
How is Java "designed to be explicitly limited"? It's a general purpose programming language with a huge number of libraries available.
>The popular CMSes that are mentioned here (WP, Drupal), are not designed. They where mostly hacked together and became immensely popular before any thorough software design took place. They come from a time where software design was not much applied to "web scripts".

Hacked together is still a design. It may not be a Good design, but regardless they are made to be behind a caching layer. Also, Drupal 8 is pretty well designed and thought out.

>Varnish 1.0 is from 2006. WordPress is from 2003 and Drupal from 2000. These popular CMSes where certainly not made with proxy-caching in mind.

Software changes over time, and regardless of timelines the nature of CMS's is to generate output that stays the same, which is good for caching layers.

>You can properly architect and write "your own" CMS in a compiled language (like Go, Rust, C++, OCaml or Haskell) and have <10ms response times (including the db queries). It will just lack the features, plugins/modules, and market pull that WP/Drupal have.

This highly, highly depends upon what you're building. Plugins and modules are not the reason for slowdown in CMS's, the reason is that the data is abstracted into understanable constructs that can take in all forms of data. This requires lots of queries and code to standardize things. In many cases, you're not going to build something better that is as functional or friendly to future developers.

Seemed like it was just a mobile join notification in the video similar to Skype for business or WebEx if you are using VoIP. No?

My company used WebEx and I could make it dial me and start up my conference line without having to go through all the regular pin entry stuff. Now we're using Lync (Skype for business) which is similar although tragically buggy. That can also dial me and sends notifications if you hook it up.

The key for these kind of apps is cost and reliability. Seems like they're advertising substantial cost reductions and better quality. If either one is true they'll likely make out really well.

Keith Kellogg: who is Trump's acting national security adviser?
Indian Laws and constitution is explicit in it's bias against Hindus, very likely under the Church influence on Congress Party and President Sonia Gandhi.

1. 93rd amendment to Indian constitution denies Hindus right to occupation. The term used is "non minority". [1]
2. In India minority in the context of education is defined as anyone who has certificate from a body called NCMEI which by law can not have any Hindu person on its body.
3. Indian government passed a weird law called "Right to Education Law" which actually puts huge burden of regulation on only Hindu schools. All Christian or Muslim run schools despite getting government funding are exempt where as all Hindu schools which are run on 100% private money have to comply. Failure to comply even a minor clause in RTE results in shutting down of the school. Around 10 thousand schools have got notices to shut down. [2]
4. Under RTE government controls the admission criteria of even 100% private schools run by Hindus. A Hindu for example can not start a school for students above 140 IQ. It is not possible for a Hindu to start a school meant for extremely poor kids. Because admission criteria is decided by government.
5. All Hindu schools must give 25% of their seats to government. Government then fills those using a complex lottery system that accounts of people's caste. In case government can not fill the seats those seats must be kept vacant for that batch.
6. Governments can simply exercise eminent domain powers and take over a private school without giving any compensation if the school violates even a minor clause. [4] [5]

All educational institutes in India now have a minority vs non-minority divide. Minority schools have 100% freedom from all government where has majority run schools and colleges have 0% freedom.

Delhi had two major colleges. St. Stephans and Sri Ram. Both were considered so good that their cut-off marks were generally 99%. (You need to get 99% in your 12td Std. exams to get admission). This year the entire system was gamed by a remote school. This school somehow gave 99% marks to most of their kids who then applied and got admitted into Sri Ram. St. Stephans however being a minority school had the freedom to apply any filtering criteria and was not affected at all.

It is not misleading. Most Mathematical concepts originated from Hindu Mathematicians.

For example, the definition of "Infinity" from the Isha Upanishad (Written in 1st millenium BC. You can find the pronunciation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pn5oo24THM. This was written way before Buddhism or Jainism were founded):

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते |
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ||
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ||

It's literal transliteration:

"Om, That is complete, This is complete, From the completeness comes the completeness
If completeness is taken away from completeness, Only completeness remains
Om, Peace peace peace"

Jainism or Buddhism were later offshoots of Hinduism (almost centuries after Brahmi numerals were invented). They adopted a lot of Hindu scriptures and practices while rejecting the authority of the Vedas at the same time. Their founders were themselves Hindus. For example: Do you know that Yoga is inadvertently associated with Buddhism even though the origins, scriptures and teachings are from Hinduism?

I would have linked various lectures that talk about Hindu mathematicians but unfortunately they are in Hindi. But there is one video by Dr. Dean Brown on Sanskrit, the Upanishads etc which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxzXxQrX2Mc

Another video relevant to this discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxgK0dX872k&list=PL6m6y6YFPj...
I completely agree. Out of all the places I've worked at and all of the developers I've talked to, not being able to work AV with TVs for presenting or conference calls is the common, almost 100% of the time an issue.

One place I worked at spent about $25,000 to get an AV system setup complete with conference calling that was supposed to make it "easy". Every single meeting without fail we'd waste 10 minutes trying to figure it out then have to bring someone from IT support who would then spend 10 minutes themselves fiddling with it.
>After his retirement Kellogg joined a series of contracting firms including tech giant Oracle – the company gave him a leave of absence to help the Bush administration in Iraq. “I was given the opportunity to establish a homeland security business unit at Oracle,” he told the Washington Post in 2005, “based on the skills I developed in the military and on the value that information technology can bring to homeland security.”

>Kellogg later joined another tech contractor, CACI, in 2005, and then left for a defense contractor, Cubic Defense, in 2009, where he was responsible for the firm’s “ground combat training business”. In March, after Kellogg joined Trump’s campaign as an adviser, the New York Times reported that the last defense contractor to employ the retired general “had no information on his whereabouts”.
The most common example is actually scandinavian unbabtised babies. It's quite common to keep the name secret until the big reveal in the church when the child is several months old. I believe that here in denmark you aren't required by law to submit a name until the child is 6 months old.

Those who are causing hurt remotely from a country outside any jurisdiction where the victim can realistically get help are already immune to justice.

This discussion is, in large part, about whether services that knowingly or unknowingly help such people to cause harm but are within a jurisdiction where the victim can realistically get help should be immune as well.

I wouldn't necessarily go as far as wang_li suggested in their first comment on this thread myself, but the general sentiment isn't unreasonable.
Yet they account for a modest percentage of the total production. This is where PowerPack and other grid storage technologies would need to come in - to counter the variability of renewable production. Pumped hydro would be cost effective per MWh stored, but there's limited chance for building that.
Maybe there should be a specialist who's role is to counsel students through these decisions and provide guidance?
I'm not sure where the optimism comes from. I too have been surprised at how mediocre most conferencing software is, and concluded that it's probably harder than it seems.

The Java course is a waste of time, the language does not bring anything new against Python when compared to C++.

Only a few Java specific things and an emphasis on patterns and workarounds for things you cannot do directly because the language is so limited.

Don't know about Skype for business but they are rewriting the normal Skype client for Linux.

https://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/bd-p/Linux

I didn't try it out. The old client still works. The only missing feature is screen sharing in multiple parties video calls. I'm using TeamViewer for that. Desktop sharing is much smoother with TeamViewer anyway.

The real plus of Skype over Hangout or Webex is the chat: the history is stored forever locally and I can search every message I sent. We're using a Skype group chat even when we're using TeamViewer.
So, no video conferencing in basic/plus plan (1:1 doesn't count). It's funny how many attempts there are at making conferencing software that just have audio and some basic chat.

Entry level needs video, since you can get it for free elsewhere (i.e. hangouts).

Many of the comments here seem to be focussing on increasing grip strength but that misses something the article could have delved into more. Grip strength is strongly correlated with health and longevity, but its not directly causal - simply increasing your grip strength wont really add many years to your life. Instead grip strength is strong correlate with overall musculo-skeletal mass and strength, which does have a highly causal relationship with health and longevity. So, focussing purely on grip strength will do more to break the correlation than give you a long life.

If you want to have a healthy, long life focus on overall strength. Squats, deadlifts, odd-object carries etc. If you're new to lifting, have someone who isn't show you proper form. Or just read Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Its the bible of heavy lifts.

I have been married to a qualified Librarian for almost 20 years, and like many, I had a very blinkered view of what a Librarian actually is.

What most people think is a Librarian, i.e. the person shelving books, and checking out your selection at the Uni or Local library, tend to be pre-qualified library assistants. The actual Librarian is normally off somewhere actually running the Library as a working business, so not only do they have to be constantly well read, they also need fairly good business acumen as well.

Working in Libraries, is only the tip of the ice-berg. My partner has worked in the Corporate field for many years, which is VERY different compared to working in a Library, and is now one of the most senior Corporate Librarians in the country. I have watched her career over the past two decades, and it's been really diverse. She currently heads up a Global team of Librarians who provide and maintain a wide range of information services to Lawyers for a top tier law firm.

This sort of Information department exists in many medium to large organisations, and is critical their success, and in this day and age, it has hardly anything to do with books at all; Information is Information, no matter what the medium, and if you want it curated and managed, you need a Librarian.
