What people complain about that? Other developers or people in tech? Sure it doesn't look as modern by today's standards but is changing the styling, font, etc. going to make it easier to use? Doing so may actually startle a lot of users which is most likely why they have only made small changes over the years.

I have seen a lot of CL alternatives that look nicer at first glance but the UI lacks. Sometimes more features is not a good thing. KISS principle is oftentimes better especially when you are working with such a wide user base such as Craigslist.

CL only has 30 employees, never took VC, is one of the most highly visited sites and brings in millions of profit a year. Not many other web companies can claim that. If I were in that position, I don't think I would be too worried about the tech community complaining about how ugly my site was especially if my users continued to come back and benefit.

CL does have rss feeds (example https://slo.craigslist.org/search/web?format=rss) but they have pretty strict terms on how you can use them.

I'm sort of okay with the cheating on English proficiency exams. They're pretty contrived anyways.

But these groups also tend to help each other out in cheating on actual assignments and tests, which doesn't sit well with the me.

That seems about right.

You're getting exactly what it says on the tin: 64,480 velocity measurements, collected from a total of 1,699 stars. They've thrown in the observation date, a measure of uncertainty, and a few other values.

It's not "Big Data" in the sense of terabytes of ad clicking data. It is a "big data set" if you consider that each and every entry in the data set took a fair amount of time to acquire and process, not to mention the ungodly-expensive equipment and non-trivial work to set it up correctly.
If I had to guess, I'd say that there are two possible interpretations of your comment:

1) Public spaces are your property as well, so you should feel even worse about trashing your own space.

2) Public spaces are yours, after all, and you can do whatever you want with your own property.

Downvoters most likely assumed that you intended the latter.
With 441ms to fully download the HTML, HBR.org is already much, much faster than the average site.

Except it really isn't. They have a giant interstitial ad that takes up the entire page when you get there, so then you have to hunt down the link to close it. So they just wasted a couple of seconds. I don't care how quick it loads if the experience is that bad.
I wonder if something like this can be done for the Emerald Ash Borers as well. I'd love to see those things destroyed before they wipe out the Ash Trees here in the East.
We're aiming to be 100% compatible with MRI. It's far easier to swap out your runtime than it is to rewrite production code. Of course, situations vary for everyone and each team needs to evaluate on their own.

Prior to joining Oracle Labs, I ran a company that went through TechStars (Boston, 2010). We started with Ruby to get the MVP out. I would even say overall it was architected fairly well. But as we started growing, we hit performance issues that we just didn't have with a smaller customer base. As a bootstrapped company trying to grow, putting everything on hold to rewrite subsystems wasn't a terribly appealing option. We finally decided that it was a necessary evil and were going to move from MRI to JRuby, at which point we'd start replacing pieces with Java. As it turns out, JRuby ended up meeting our performance needs and we didn't have to rewrite anything (modulo code changes needed to run on JRuby). I ended up winding that company down for a variety of other reasons, but I'm happy I didn't become another case study in code rewrites.
Right. This is different. I never worked in CA hydrology during times when you worry about spill. CA Hydrology was always about allocating a very scarce resource to the people that need it most -- and offering your best prediction of how low reservoirs would go -- and praying snow pack would last. Now? W(who)tf knows.

This image of the main spillway gives you an idea of what they're building on: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/02/13/08/3D252AE20000057...

You can see that they blasted into the rock to make the spillway.

However, the idea that erosion will undercut the emergency spillway and cause it fail implies that it's not built directly on the rock. This suggests that there could be more than 30' of draining.
Yes. If you know any history, the U.S is singular. I deserve more than zero points for highlighting that.
I usually compare feminism with the black movement. Black people are seriously disadvantaged in modern society, they are behind in everything! Wages? Check. Educational attainment? Check. Lifespan? Check. Crime rates? Check (high crime rate is a sign that you are a social outcast). Crime suspicions? Check. Sentence lengths? Check.

This is what it looks like when one group is privileged compared to the other. Note that men are behind women in many of these categories so it is hard to say that they are clearly the privileged sex. Black women have lower incarceration rates and longer lifespan than white men, so being male is even more disadvantageous than being black in some circumstances.

Yes, we have the wage gap which is a huge issue and I as a male am privileged in that regard and I think that it needs to get fixed, but I will never accept that feminism is for equality until they acknowledge that women are privileged in many categories as well. Instead what I hear from them is basically "Men are behind due to lifestyle choices while women are behind due to social structures". I don't buy that, either you say that both are social structure problems or you say that both are individual choices, you can't have your cake and eat it.

Personally I believe that feminism will never get any further until they start framing things in a male positive way. For example instead of saying "We need to force men to take more responsibility at home to allow our women to succeed with their careers" say "We need to stop judging men by their salaries so that they can take time off to bond more with friends and family without feeling guilty or stressed out". It isn't a choice if society pushes you to do it so as long society pushes men to achieve even more they will continue to work even harder. Or do people really believe that men work themselves to death for fun?

> One of the three or four core apps that will ship with Magic Leap’s headset “is a game, ‘Dr. G.,’ that has no female heroes or lead characters”. The one female character in the narrative, who isn’t in the game itself, “is a busty woman depicted on her knees grovelling at the heroes’ feet in admiration”.

So in 2017 it's a hostile work environment if there aren't female characters in the video game that the company is producing?

I know that not the whole suite but, it highlighted as part of it.

Are people at the Gillette going to sue because they make a whole line of razors that are pink? Are people going to sue at fashion companies because the clothes they make are too revealing or tight?

Are we going to bring subjective criticism of art into the courtroom not out it own merits to society but, judging it on the basis of how it makes one of the employees of the company feel?

I'm not saying that the whole suite it without merit. This one point was just especially egregious to me.
One thing that I like about Python implementations of algorithms is less thinking about types. When I implement my sort algorithm, I just need to say > or < and assume the caller has given those terms meaning.

Not a Java expert, can you do something similar with Java? Maybe with generics?
exposure to more solution techniques into programming problems that you might run into most likely in an interview session.

A lot will say learn this as it is the "core" of programming, but in industry practice I've seen using pure functions (functions that return the same result when the same parameter is passed in) is becoming more commonplace than having a trickier function that mutates a variable differently during each iteration, making it harder to reason about program state. Algorithmic problem solutions usually involve non-pure functions that are not intuitive until you've seen them before. Front-end UI is better built using several pure functions.

I feel your pain. I remember trying to install DNSCrypt[1] on Linux and failing miserably. I was convinced it would work if only I found the right solution online, or if only the right amount of caffeine was in my bloodstream, or if by sheer effort of will I could get it working, but I still failed. I partially got it installed, error messages galore in my terminal, and all my /paths/ were wrong. It was a humbling experience. I quickly uninstalled it as I don't want partially working, broken soft running on my machine.

I guess for this situation a decent OpenVPN client would be ideal like Viscosity[2]

Why India may not skip car ownership just yet
Thanks, but I am against rooting devices, never saw the value in risking to brick my expensive devices.
Years ago I studied abroad for a year in the U.K. I'm American, so no language barriers, but I found it very difficult to make British friends. I was friends with my flat mates who were British, but otherwise only the Germans were friendly to me. The other international students tended to stick to themselves (particularly the Chinese and Pakistani), despite my attempts at bridging the gap.

Homophily is a known social bias, and certainly affects people in their own country let alone a foreign one. I wonder how much of this is "America" per se, versus standard social forces that affect all populations.
It's unbelievable impressive from my experience. I've only travelled and studied within Europe but I would say, foreign students pretty much never have close native friends. But then again in the US there is no language barrier.

We use Strongswan to secure host to host connections using pre-shared key when setting up Kubernetes clusters in simple VPS providers like DigitalOcean.

The two are not mutually exclusive, and the set of people who could work on either of these is probably mostly disjoint. "Don't fix problem X because problem Y is more important" isn't a helpful stance if we can work on both.
I am glad you are responding well here, but just an example of tone from your post:

> I wish he wasn’t ripping off Nugget, but the fact that he is actually doing something is a big deal.

This would be a lot more impactful edited as such:

> The fact that he is actually doing something is a big deal.

The little (potentially read as snide ["ripping off"]) opening context for the sentiment actually detracts from its point and helps establish a negative author tone for potential readers. In general, placing any point behind a "but" detracts from impact and moves said impact to the opening context.

Hey writing is hard and written tone is super difficult to manage! As an idea, you might consider having friends read posts and comment on the overall tone before publishing (if you don't already).

That's why it's fine to have ASLR on by default. Most developers don't even seem to be familiar with how ASLR works, and very few actively disable it in practice. Yet for some of us, the ability to do so is quite indispensable.

> it allows concerned citizens to raise their voice when they see law is being broken

How exactly do concerned citizens raise their voice in India? I once saw a stray dog that had been run over by a car licking its wounds, waiting to die. After which it would lay there on the road-side until it had been eaten by birds and insects. I wanted to raise awareness of my various concerns about this. How should I have gone about it? Genuinely interested in learning from you.

An aside: the stoic, pious strength I saw on the dog's face as it licked itself, knowing it was dying, was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen.

For my scientific needs, it was more than adequate, and scientists are a big part of programmers (but not necessarily professionals). However in that league eye candy does not count, instead saving lives or making our world better are of bigger priority.

And this is why most people want immigrants to learn English when they come to the US. Assimilation!

I go cold-turkey every once in a while. I've just come off a 12-day abstinence, which was prompted by an eyelid twitch that I couldn't get rid off with simple sleep. Dropping caffeine did the trick.

The best part is the first morning coffee after a long abstinence: you feel wired, motivated and productive like you've never been before.
I agree with this. For me, I'm using the language I'm currently using at work (C#) to learn them better. If I'm going to be tested (in tech interviews) in the language I know my bet is that it'd be better to know the C# way of doing it and knowing how to implement it using C# conventions. I haven't interviewed yet, but this is just the hunch I have if the goal is to do well in a tech interview

For another take on the whole 'violated his users privacy':

When you control a service like this it's very easy to forget that while it's casual and normal for you to be able to see peoples information, to other people this is an awesome responsibility you've been entrusted with. Especially since it probably doesn't come up very often until it does, but by that point the cat is out of the bag.

To help prevent a normalization of deviance, you should put in some kind of mechanism to remind yourself that customer data is private and handling it should be treated with extreme care.

Yes, generics in Java or templates in C++ is how any algorithms library would handle this. Any type passed into such a function needs to possess the required operators and functions or it will fail to compile/run.

I have seen stated that even 7% could be an issue depending on the parameters used. Regardless, it was certainly a big concern at the time for most of the community.

That's a bit cynical to call the token holder gamblers, sure many of them "invested" thinking they would get some return back, but a lot of people were genuily curious in participating in this decentralized democracy experiment that never came to be. Regardless even if these people were 'gamblers' stealing is still stealing and returning stolen money is the right thing to do.

Reply to your PPS:

Yes I was previously familiar with ESR. No I don't have strong opinions about gun control, I'm not interested in being psychoanalysed partly because you are just plain wrong about my motivations, and yes I would have replied the same way if it was about free speech.

I try to be charitable, but that doesn't mean leaving myself vulnerable to vague hinting intended to retain plausible deniability, as I interpreted your initial post; and it doesn't mean tolerating bullshit accusations against me as you're now throwing around.

There's a big difference between analysing the meaning of some text (which is necessary for communication) and guessing at someone's motives and emotional reactions (which is usually rude and unnecessary).

Does Cape allow independent control of the individual rotors? If so, I wonder how well the safety system would handle a drone being flown to its maximum altitude and then having the rotors on one side run in one direction and the other half of the rotors run the other way. In my mind this would cause the drone to rotate around a vector in the horizontal plane while gravity would be pulling the drone downwards. Higher altitude would give more time to build up the angular velocity of this rotation. If then the angular velocity is high as the drone approaches the ground, the system might not have time to recover stable flight. Thus the drone might crash.
That could very well be true; I hoped to have phrased my comment in a way that would bring across my uncertainty :)
IKE is the protocol that negotiates the metadata for the IPsec connection. The encapsulated traffic itself is then carried IPsec's ESP protocol.

There are certainly challenges, but the threat/intelligence communities have made a lot of strides in attribution.

If you can attribute attacks, you can retaliate with sanctions, etc. So if you are credible in your threat of retaliation and the retaliation is meaningful and proportional, reducing cyber conflict may be possible.

This is certainly a challenging topic, but to draw a parallel; many people were sceptical of the Iranian nuclear deal, but even the Israelis admit that the Iranians look to have stopped developing nuclear weapons capabilities.
Mechanics of Building a Carpooling Service
I don't have anything certain, nor have I seen anyone answer this certainly - though this question has come up often. Obviously MOOCs will eventually be the way - huge companies are getting behind the movement; courses taught by best-of-best (eg Thrun, Ng); sustainability, etc. But I don't think we're quite there yet - I'd give it 3yrs. A recurring answer by hiring managers and recruiters is that they don't (yet) respect nanodegrees, at the various companies they recruit for. A Masters is much more respected (and looks like the majority minimum required degree for a decent ML job; no need for PhD, good luck with a BS). One option I'm very seriously considering is Georgia Tech's online MS "OMSCS" https://www.omscs.gatech.edu. It's a legitimate accredited MS at $7k (more expensive than Udacity, but _much_ less expensive than most MS programs). TMK it actually uses some Udacity courses in lieu of actual courses - they're partnered (hey, it might actually just be a nanodegree disguised as a university MS). I think it's sort of a transition from academia-proper to MOOCs, and it's respected by employers. So that would be my personal recommendation.

I'm going to be doing a lot more research in coming weeks. I'm going to publish my findings to my podcast http://ocdevel.com/podcasts/machine-learning and maybe drop what I find here too. Hopefully there will be some more answers here to pool from.
This is wrong on so many levels. The worst is that it undermines the actual Geneva Convention by borrowing its name to advocate something totally different. The Geneva Convention doesn't ask for "no fighting", but rather gives boundaries to keep fighting within "human-ish" levels.

You need to disable WebRTC, WebGL, Canvas and a bunch of other things if you're going to use Chrome/Chromium with Tor

There is no good solution at the moment - one lacks security while the other lacks privacy.
