- Raspberry Pi. You can do everything with this guy.

- My girlfriend's Mitsubishi colt Z30. It has great system of adjusting backseats (you can move it back and forward, so that either trunk or cabin have more space). It has also roof quite high (and I'm tall so that's important for me in small cars)

- KitchenAid mixer classic. It's just rock-solid.

- Karrimor X-Lite X2t. This guy is maybe a little one, but
it's drying in miliseconds, has great setting-up system and is light as a feather. Although it's quite tight for 2 persons, it's the best small tent I've

- Ricoh GRD IV. The best camera I've ever used.

So easy to operate all of the functions on it that it can be done without ever taking it out of your pocket. Navigate through playlists without having to look at it all. Battery life lasts seemingly forever. It made commuting by public transport in the cold so very much better than fiddling with the UI on a phone. And training meant not having to carry a huge and heavy phone when running because it clips onto your pockets-less training clothes somewhere.

Hands down the best designed device I have ever used.
My Interview at Uber
>Though I fear that will be a notably more expensive purchase.

Not necessarily. There are quite a number of good pens in the sub-$100 range. I personally recommend the Pilot Metropolitan or the Lamy Safari. Both are less (much less) than $100, and can either fit ink cartridges or converters.
People already play along with radio quizzes while driving, so make it voice controlled and it's no different than that.
The reason I can think of are:

- it'd be annoying to have to write `println!("{}", &s);`,

- this is not an inconsistency one thinks about in practice: ownership is important in Rust, but the compiler does all the annoying checking, so IME one can just let it fade into the background and not think about it until the compiler tells you there's a problem,

- it's an "permissive" inconsistency: writing a & will still compile and give the same output,

- it's a syntax-level inconsistency created by the println! macro packaging up the normal syntax, not some special rules for special functions: there's still a literal & borrow in there (see the macro expansion),

- historical reasons, and no-one was annoyed enough (or even noticed it enough) to change it.
I've been using Cronitor since spring of 2014 and it's been great. I initially used it to monitor the uptime of the real-time location feed from my local transit agency (so I could email them to fix it). It was pretty remarkable being able to setup monitoring in ~5 minutes with a single line of code. Now I use it for tons of daemons and cron jobs, it's pretty great to actually have them monitored (not to mention the super simple duration tracking).

Once, it appeared that I was getting false-positive alerts so I called the phone number (not really knowing what to expect) and when (Shane I think?) picked up on the first call I was just flabbergasted that someone was available almost immediately to explain my monitor's behavior. (I had conflated the /run ping with the /complete ping). I highly recommend the service based on their support and my good experience with their API.

> Both groups think the other side is being intentionally pedantic by refusing to accept their interpretation of "Muslim ban" which keeps every discussion on the topic in a permanent circle jerk instead of becoming a discussion on the merits, faults, and legality of the executive order.

Which of course benefits the writers of (news) articles, furthering the profit-driven media circle-jerk.

Surely one step in the right direction would be to simply avoid terms that apparently 'both sides' interpret differently? But then that would attract fewer eyeballs :-/.
That's the sound your lady friends would be making if they knew the moral imperative you felt after reading that blog post was to defend the judicial system from comments on this website.
You say "media" as if it's a singular entity. It is not. It encompasses Fox News (which I don't watch but I gather is a cesspool), The London Review of Books, Vogue, Infowars, YouTube, etc. A set of _competing_ companies. Not all of them support or supported (the Iraq) war. Like so many others that refer to "the media" in the same way, I have to ask:

Are you sure you're not falling into the trap of "I didn't see it, so it doesn't exist"?
Note that the compiler already adds "obvious" attributes to function calls, being careful to not emit them for things that contain an `UnsafeCell`. This is why that type exists, as the building block for interior mutability that the compiler understand and can optimise around.

Github for build and continuous delivery/deployment/integration; extremely distributed build. Today an app developer pulls down the latest version of an open source library and building against it, then files any integration issues against the library's ticketing system. Google's system allows the library developer to build a version, then find everyone whose apps that use their library break because of the new proposed version. It vastly speeds up the delivery cycle and increases robustness between builds of all your dependencies and your app.

A lot of people really like the re-factoring and IntelliSense features in Visual Studio, but hate working under Windows. The new Linux compatibility push under Windows when it matures may accomplish the same as making Linux a first-class citizen in Visual Studio.

Google trying to further develop Dalvik/Android Runtime for Android seems to me eerily like Sun developing further generations of SPARC. Google would have to put up a really big war chest to continually find and address all the edge cases to sustain a process virtual machine going forward into the future, and I'm not clear where the value proposition lies in doing so, rather than settling upon an existing process virtual machine with more developers working upon it. I suspect Google does this because adopting someone else's process virtual machine, even an open sourced one, risks that someone else somehow strategically chokepointing Android development in the future with incompatible changes.

Much like a Jeep, original Willys and CJ, the roof comes off, the panels come off, the body is aluminium, the engine and electrics are simple enough for most people to fix. Most of what can be mechanical like the fuel pump is mechanical, not electric. They are high enough up off the ground that they can be serviced without a jack, for oil and anti-freeze etc. Truly a utility vehicle.
As Google was one of the main enablers of DRM on the web[1], this is hardly surprising. Basically without Google colluding with NetFlix, we would still have a DRM-free web-standard.

Remember that next time you start up Chrome. You helped Google do this.

The simplest storage, is a bunch of dumb servers (well beefy dumb servers) with some application aware scripts to move/copy the dataset.

A place I worked at had a wrapper around rsync that would split up the directory and spawn multiple rsyncs to do a parallel copy.

The Directory structure was effectively copy on write, so backup to the nearline was <15 minutes

It only matters what the motivations of the leaker were when the leak is a rumor. If the leak is an actual source document (or recording, etc.), it can stand on its own.

Unfortunately, the leaker of the information about Flynn simply started a rumor and did not substantiate it with any concrete data that would allow the public to formulate an opinion based on his actual conversation.
There is something to be said for realism.
The four minute mile didn't just topple for psychological reasons. It happened due to the development of better strategy (pacers), and continued to drop from there due to better training, better track materials, better shoes. The idea that it was purely a mental barrier is popular mythology.
We can (and I, personally, do) but that isn't a practical standard. Healthy humans are sexual ones and especially when you have younger people working 60+ hours with a close group you will have people talking about sex. That should be expected but the current legal standard doesn't allow for that.

My favourite version of this is all of the cutscenes in the PS Vita game "Gravity Daze" (Gravity Rush). They're all drawn comics, but with the layers set at appropriate depths. The game uses the Vita's gyroscope to lock the 3d camera to the handheld's orientation. You really get the feel that you're looking /into/ a comic!

Regarding chopsticks and one-handed eating: you could do the same with a fork, as long as the food is already cut in small bites, like Asian food usually is.

On the other hand you cannot eat a steak with one hand, neither with chopsticks nor with a fork.

I think that the good design is in the food, rather than in the chopsticks.

It's definetly not expensive to live here compared to other european capitals (buying a flat costs 3,036€[1] per square metter, compared to the 8000 you need in Paris) and even compared to other german big cities (München, Hamburg).

FTFY.
Right. The Flynn leak is unfortunately just a rumor, and some partisans are trying to amplify it while others are trying to diminish it.

Since a full transcript/recording obviously exists, the leaker seemingly felt that his/her political aims would not be strengthened if he/she released the actual source material.
Certainly is "possible" (and if you search you'll likely find some "3D renderers" for 2d canvas) but that'd need a rasterizer implemented in JavaScript and if you want anything more than 1-colored triangles, some notion (even if haphazard, custom and callback-or-so based) of "shading" --- should screech to a crawl quickly.

It could even be worded like this: Given most taxis across the world provide a dodgy service and hijack fees way above official metered levels (or hijack meters or add luggage fees or spend 20 minutes negociating the fare after you've made them aware you're in a hurry for a flight) to the point that most middle-class doesn't use them, ... is replacing this mafia with a batshit-awful company still a progress?

As long as the middle-class now can afford taxis on a regular basis, and the offer of drivers is in an all-time high, with better control of driver and passenger identities, then it's an economical plus for the society. Of course there's Lyft and Grab too.
Absolutely, I think that the failure to exploit spaced repetition is perhaps the most obvious and easily correctable flaw of most formal education.

I strongly suspect that even just mixing questions from previous parts of the course into the homework would be enough to make a substantial difference; grinding through a sequence of problems that all make use of essentially the same techniques before moving on to another set is a completely brain-dead way of trying to learn.

Am I the only one who thinks NYTimes should be a little more explicit in marking editorials? I'm sure among those of us familiar with newspapers it should be clear within a sentence that this is an opinion piece, however nowhere does the word "editorial" show up on this page and I suspect a fair number of younger or less educated individuals may not even understand what editorials are in general.

It helps me understand why individuals might be skeptical of newspapers when an agenda'd opinion piece (basically a hosted blog) shows up in the nytimes domain.

Your alternative careers plans can and should be the possibility of retirement.

It is extremely possible as a software engineer to save enough to retire by the time you're 35.

Exactly. Cherry-picking what portion to leak can, intentionally or not, result in a narrative orthogonal to the truth.

If not, ask the client to provide an HTTP callback endpoint, and ping it to notify of new fresh data on your side. Using WebSocket is also an option.

I tried this on my machine, then tried a pure Python version; I only changed three lines, to:

import random
...
arr = [random.randint(0, 256) for x in range(n)]
...
arr = sorted(arr)

Here are my times:

$ time python2.7 hackernews_13682929.py
Unsorted execution time: 4.33348608017 seconds
Sorted execution time: 4.09405398369 seconds

$ time python3.5 hackernews_13682929.py
Unsorted execution time: 4.4200146198272705 seconds
Sorted execution time: 4.188237905502319 seconds

$ time python2.7 hackernews_13682929_purepython.py
Unsorted execution time: 0.981621026993 seconds
Sorted execution time: 0.832424879074 seconds

$ time python3.5 hackernews_13682929_purepython.py
Unsorted execution time: 1.3005650043487549 seconds
Sorted execution time: 1.157465934753418 seconds

$ time pypy hackernews_13682929_purepython.py
Unsorted execution time: 0.239459037781 seconds
Sorted execution time: 0.0910339355469 seconds

As you can see, the pure Python version is faster than the Numpy version, and also has a larger margin between unsorted and sorted. PyPy is of course faster than both, and also has an even greater margin between unsorted and sorted (2.63x faster).
One of the most fundamental purposes of HR is to hear employee complaints, particularly legal ones and to get them solved to both moral and legal satisfaction. It sounds like this HR department did everything exactly backward by focusing on hiding problems rather than addressing them, and they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling bloggers.
I used to have this attitude until I heard harassment stories from two close personal friends in the last year. It's really hard to come forward, especially if you're early in your career and struggled to get any job in the first place.

Apart from potentially being difficult emotionally there are tons of negative outcomes that could come from taking the legal route

Here's a list of potential negative outcomes of lawyering up:

* getting terminated (remember, at-will employment)
* getting blacklisted by other teams at your current employer
* getting blacklisted by potential future employers. Court cases are often public and in some industries companies are forced to make ongoing litigation public
* having your weird texts, emails, personal life and sexual history being dragged out in a public court case
* losing and still having to pay all those lawyer fees
* winning but not getting any meaningful compensation
* getting harassed on twitter/wherever by the alt-right/gamergate crowd.

Yes, people should be getting in trouble but it's a prisoners dilemma where each individual victim is not incentiviced to do anything.
