Use By = Unsafe to eat. Can make you sick or even kill you.
Best Before = Tastes funny.

Found a bag of crisps(chips) with a Best Before of about two years ago. Tasted horrible, but not unsafe to eat.

Although I do take some Use By dates as a guide only. Eating yoghurt within 4-5 days of the use by is usually ok.

> I have eaten many past due things and scooped of layers of fungi. I have never been ill from it, 34 years and counting.

Nobody should follow this advice. Most people will instinctively recoil from what you describe, for very good survival reasons.

The fluffy stuff on top is just the surface part of the fungus, its main body actually lies inside the food. The reason why you've never been ill from it is probably because your body is used to this. However, there can easily be long term (and sudden short term) health consequences from ingesting fungus toxins - including persistent infection, cancers, and neurotoxicity.

Maybe, i suppose as much as a bitcoin ASIC is.
I agree and it boggles me when I see entire texts pasted along with the footer of the source page as well! 'Share me on Facebook'.

For fora where the posters aren't inclined to paraphrase the original story, it's usually more than sufficient to paste only the second and perhaps third paragraphs of a news story; those generally contain the actual news.
A few cheaters got to the face to face stage and were found out and rejected, so now everyone who applies (the majority likely decent and honest people) must be monitored and recorded?
>I do think parking lots are good candidates for construction, as doing so doesn't displace anyone

I have strong anecdotal evidence against that. In Richmond, VA, nearly the entire neighborhood of Monroe Ward was leveled to provide parking for skyscrapers downtown.
Awesome is just the new "epic" from a few years ago, don't worry about these little things :-)
This don't have any harm to health?
I can't edit the URL. It used to be possible in the past but apparently posters are unable to make that change now.

The URL I am seeing is: http://www.cringely.com/2017/02/16/no-fracking-way-fukishima...

Maybe a moderator can fix the URL?
I think it does; while theoretically the storage driver should maintain adequate empty blocks, often they don't - see reports of "SSD performance degradation".
My opinion is that dense cities unfairly favor extroverts and minglers/hustlers.

People who like deep thought or long deep conversations with few people under not much time pressure (if you've already commuted 20min to talk to someone for 1h, you're gonna listed to them for that 1h most, likely not go adhd on them after first 15min...) Also, "social homogeneity" (all people in a spatial region having the same cultural background) is really underrated - it really helps you focus when you have deep intellectual/technical work to do when you don't have to always be on alert for "what makes everyone different" or "what joke/metaphor could happen to offend anyone different enough from you"... Interaction with "special people" who actually want to be recognized as such robs you of waaaay too much brainpower that could be invested in other things.

Or mabey I just miss what I never had and I know I'll not have at least in the next 10 years :) ...in my brief interactions with "suburban monotony" in developed countries (rest of the world is a different story) I've really perceived it as heaven/utopia for people loving more personal space, depth, uninterrupted focus and "free attention".
I've never seen AppleScript before, and I'm fascinated by the syntax. Is it as easy to write as it is to read?
Yea, I'd expect it to be big, but 10 MB is still easily distributable, so not bad. How is the licensing though? Do you have to include the source (GPL) or is that only if you modify the source?

> I live where the rent is low and own a car. You need to make an alternate lifestyle for me cheaper, not my current one more expensive.

You're current cheap lifestyle is subsidized, it's not about punishing you, it's about having you pay your fair share. It doesn't have to mean that your cost for parking at your work has to go up, but it may mean that you have to pay for the other places you park and for the roads you drive on.
How does the math on this work out?

How much is one apartment worth, and how much yield are you getting from them after deducting all the overhead? It's something that I've looked at though obviously highly location dependent.
What is insane is calling a death/injuries made by car an accident.

An accident is utterly unavoidable.

And cars are a deterministic cause of death.

Cars are basically having way more kinetic energy than a bullet. Guns are free to have in USA, but are people free to shoot RPG, ak47, M60 in the street 3 feet away from kids without indignations or a cop intervening? The Jay walking is shifting the blame on the pedestrians.

Injuries/deaths caused by cars should be considered like homicides or attempt of homicides.

It is not a demonization in this case, it is a fair claim of responsibility since there is a causal link between driving a car with high kinetic energy and potential resulting death.

I am not even talking of pollution and chronic diseases like asthma.
Yes, that's true. Here the good thing is that the regulator isn't really counting the swearwords in a film one by one so that a director's interview of Little House would really change the rating. Or at least that was common enough perception among the public.
But how many companies will want a migration path from XP? More than you may think.
This is probably a result of New Public Management (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_public_management) in education governance.

When the pupil is modeled as a "customer" something has to take the place of "revenue" when measuring the relative success of different management- and educational strategies and comparing them to cost. There are different quantifiable "revenues" in education like student-hours, grade averages, diplomas etc. But the focus is on diplomas, passing grades and standardized tests (as opposed to teaching hours or other measures of undefinable value to the "customer").

To cover cost, teaching institutions rely on funding, and funding is tied to "revenue" e.g. test-results and diplomas. This causes a misalignment of incentives that reveals the real customer of teaching institutions: The funding agencies (department of education, local state government etc.). Students, or more specifically diplomas, are the product. And demand is growing. The only rational response is to produce more diplomas and test results. The supply of students who will thrive in a given educational environment, now defined implicitly as "that which produces the desired diplomas and test results" is fixed. Lower standards or lose funding. The NPM-ethos is "run it like a business" so the choice is obvious.
What would have prevented you from doing so before?
The article reads more apologetic than anything. "True, the deep state is sabotaging Trump, in principle a bad thing, but here are a lot of good reasons why they would do that."

In fact it is the typical hypocrisy: We like our democratic system, greatest in the world. Except when things don't go the way we want - then it's okay to circumvent it.
In most cases, on the upper end of the market, renting a nice apartment and/or house is just much more enjoyable and better value than renting a suite at a high end hotel.
Of course, buying up properties doesn't mean nearly as much as successfully, and profitably, operating them.
Sea travel would have been the fastest and possibly safest way in any case.
The ECJ is the highest relevant court here; there have been rulings that some kinds of mass surveillance breach human rights, most recently http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-160020

Interesting!

To me one of the most fascinating things is the way babies learn!

How does a brand new brain (that knows nothing) start learning?

Of course, I don't know! I just know that babies are cute and this topic is interesting.

But, I think as soon as you can ask a question, you know enough to ask the next one which will ultimately result in learning everything if you had infinite time.

We are all familiar with the age babies start asking questions that our answer only leads them to a new question, and then another, and another, until we say enough with the questions let's go eat an ice cream! :)
The tracking issue is here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17271

Maybe? I think broadly the answer is yes, but not very soon.

It'll probably be a timeline like:

- Sometime between now and 1.10 / 1.11 - allow vendor outside of GOPATH
- 1.11 / 1.12 - dep formally becomes part of the go toolchain
- 1.12+ ?? - GOPATH stops existing or significantly changes form.

I'm just speculating based on the progress of dep and the discussions in various issue trackers.

Nothing is going into 1.9; it's not ready yet even as a candidate feature. 1.10 could see some changes, and beyond that there will definitely be some kind of changes.

...but probably not this year.
I have a "butt-in-chair" job, but it's more like "butt in any chair, anywhere one Earth, as long as I can get to a few in-person meetings every week"... yeah, I need to get my privileges checked, I know.
It's unsurprising to read that anonymous reporting essentially failed. When you're in charge of a community and there is a dispute between two members, you have to act as a neutral third party. Anonymous reports force a bias on one side and prevent the person in charge from getting more details about the issue.

I think especially in a technical community, GPG (or easier tools if any) are better suited to preserving privacy in important disputes.

Side semi-related rant: Why are CoCs in FOSS communities often so bureaucratic and lengthy? I get the need for rules and enforcing of rules when you have a large community, but most of them outside of open source usually manage with very few rules, most of them which are always implied. Even HN's guidelines only contain three lines about attitude which all boil down to "be civil".

I maintain two open source communities of 30 and 80 people, a gaming community of ~300 daily active members and a friends&family guild of ~200 members. I've never had to say anything else than "be nice" and "don't spam". Across all those, I've had to deal with two serious cases of harassment, neither of which would have been solved with a code of conduct. [NB: of course, community rules become a more pressing need the larger and less focused your community is]

In the mean time, I see open source projects of 5-10 max adopting massive codes of conduct that make potential contributors feel like they're reading terms of service. I was part of the founding team of a small OSS group and one of the first things that came up was "we need a code of conduct" (as in, around the same time as "we need a roadmap", when the group had 5 members).

In the well-meaning fight against harassment, I see people copypasting files like they're going to be a magic bullet. If you have a community where rude behaviour and/or harassment can be a concern, it's not a piece of paper that says not to that will help; you need moderators your members feel safe contacting and who know how to handle delicate situations.

You are misunderstanding these comments.

The problem is not just the performances, it's that distributing has a huge cost in term of servers and maintenance.

If you can write only 50 times a second, your data set won't get big enough to justify distributing it.

Put your millions of row in one server and be done with it. Cheaper, faster, easier.

There is a tendancy nowaway to make things distributed for the sake of it.

Distribution is a constraint, not a feature.
As someone that almost got bitten by MongoDB's lax auth defaults, I was happy to read that DocumentDB has enabled access control out of the box and no default username/password.

This is a proposed work for a Master's thesis. It seems to be from 2013, so I wonder whether it was successful?

If I had to guess, I would think implementing a SAT solver on a GPU is quite hard. Many branches etc.
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Cameras are not for navigating in traffic. They're for not running over people who fit under your back window and door a wide angle view behind your car.

Sure you can drive without them. But however capable you think you are - you're safer with them. I'm not sure why this always have to turn into "I can drive without them successfully" dick-measuring contest. Yes, we all can. But nobody has x-ray vision that will allow them a kid behind their car in a driveway.

He does point out his 'problem' multiple times: too much aggressiveness in channels that are not made for that. This is not limited to millionaires though, you will find many driven people struggling to understand how people with lower drive can 'live like that'. I think some people are cut out to be in a specific role, entrepreneurship, position of power etc, and they feel miserable elsewhere.

As for the money problem, you can avoid most of the problems by not mentioning your wealth to everyone and certainly by not showing it. Keep that for the closest of your bros, no further.
100% what you said.

CoCs are absurd. Laws already cover all that. If they don't, fix them.

I don't understand why Ubuntu is receiving so much bad comments from Linux community. Canonical is doing great job of putting, fairly reliable system on massive number of devices, something that other distributions can just dream about. In my opinion, currently, Ubuntu is the best general purpose Linux distribution for new and semi advance users.

The other hand is what happens when parking lots get developed...

Portsmouth, NH has made their downtown completely unvisitable by allowing three or four lots on the edge of the old downtown to be developed into mostly unoccupied luxury condos and hotels. The one municipal parking garage is constantly filled, and on-street parking has gotten cutthroat.
Unfortunately, Alternate release images are not published after 16.04.1.
This is something I don't get about the HN crowd. I grew up in India, where overpopulation is a huge problem. However, if you look below the surface, it is not overpopulation; it is uneven distribution. There are only a few cities, and they are way too cramped with people. The decrease in quality of life is real. And most Indians do not own cars, they rely on public transit. If there were more smaller towns and good connectivity, people could live a lot more comfortably.

One big issue with decentralization is that industries tend to congregate. However, there is no solid reason why modern offices need to be all located in the same downtown. Decentralization reduces density and discourages rent-seeking behavior by existing residents.

I might be biased but I like suburbs. I think (without any data to support) they approach the optimal density for most people. Of course, some people find them bland and boring. Urban density is more efficient, no doubt, but I don't get the hate for people enjoying large backyards and the peace and quiet suburbs afford.

8 Tips to become a Developer
Does anyone know how to uninstall the Google Update that ships with Picasa 3.9.140 for Mac? That's the last version of Picasa that works with local folders.

[Edit] I think I figured it out. The ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate folder was being recreated every time I opened Picasa. So, I emptied out ~/Library/Google and then changed it's owner. Next time I opened Picasa, it remained empty.
I think the implication may be along the lines of 'the huge corporation will intentionally burn the world itself by way of taking the world hostage'.

Due to the wildly overleveraged nature of capital it's not an idle threat: these entities may be in a position to go 'well then, if we suffer the slightest penalty we will trigger global/countrywide economic disaster' with some credibility. The overall economic system is anything but healthy, so the threat is legitimate. However, there comes a time people don't even care anymore, they just want to see something resembling justice. That point seemingly approaches.
CLAs and a history of going their own way i suspect.

Then again the "majority" way is largely dictated by a few big projects in and around Fedora, with developers largely on Red Hat payroll.

And the shit slinging didn't really take off until they up and created Unity after a spat with Gnome over the latters future course (afaik). Closely followed with Canonical starting Mir after misrepresenting/misunderstanding where Wayland was going.

So who really knows whats going on...
That makes perfect sense! Thank you very much for your thoughtful response!
DynamoDB isn't the same thing at all, its very limited and you need to use it in very specific ways. You certainly can't just use your current MongoDb data with it.
I can't really remember, but we had tens of millions of files and the directory depth was 2, so there were approx. 80000 files in each directory (we used an md5 checksum for the directories). And we used ext3. I understand that the speed with large directories was increased in ext4... maybe that was the problem back then.
I agree with you. I've been using Linux since the day Linus announced it on minix-list, and for the last 12 years Ubuntu has been my daily-driver system .. and it is amazing. I'm a musician, so when people see that I'm using Ubuntu Studio for my DAW, I usually hear a few chuckles .. until I fire up Ardour, show them my plugin list, the standard suite of synths and effects I use, and so on .. that usually shuts them up at least. But what gets them really curious is when I show them how easy it is to break out the source code for any of these powerful tools, make modifications, re-install and maintain my system with very, very powerful techniques.

There simply isn't any operating system as conducive to creative tinkering and progressive enhancement of key software as Ubuntu Studio. Its way, way ahead of the pack in this regard, and I think anyone who scoffs at the idea needs to be taught the lesson that Ubuntu - and of course, Linux and the ecosystem it promotes - is really worth the effort to know, learn and understand.

I'm amazed. Your legal department is happy to approve the GPL (a long license that imposes significant obligations if you distribute anything) but not the WTFPL? I can understand maybe the WTFPL simply isn't on the list yet (though I'm still amazed they wouldn't put strict requirements on use of anything GPL, because you can't "statically" comply with the GPL - you have to take particular actions every time you distribute a derived work, and legal would need to be confident this was happening), but that's a one-time cost, and there's enough WTFPL software out there for it to be worthwhile.

Will Voice Search Change SEO in 2017
I read an article about a European business man doing business with a Russian company with ties to the government. The business man’s company produced high technology in some field. At one point in the negotiations, the Russians asked for a substantial discount. One that means taking a loss for the business man. To help their demand, the Russians showed the business man a series of photos of his wife and daughter, taken the very same morning. The business man got the message and agreed to the deal. And after it was done, understandably ceased to do business with Russians.

Did you have a look at their party programme? Because their politics extend beyond just technology matters. I think their name does them a disservice; but they probably wanted to maintain ties to the more global Pirate Party movements.

Varnish Wiki: Improve Drupal Performance Using Varnish Tutorial
You basically described SimCity, but it's not so simple in real world: 1) you can't build high-rise buildings anywhere and must follow zone planing (especially relevant in old Europe cities, where old town located in the core of the city and is strictly preserved). 2) People, especially older, get attached to their homes and don't sell it as soon as land price increases; some homes stay in the same family for generations. 3) Increase of land price doesn't necessarily leads to high-rise apartment buildings, but sometimes to luxury homes with big gardens if it's a beautiful area located in close proximity to the city.
It isn't, as you can disable or replace parts of Android you don't like. With Windows you are stuck with whatever Microsoft decides.
I've never seen a 40-story high-rise that had enough underground parking for more than a small fraction of its occupants. They build them in places that have transit links and set the cost of parking spaces at a high enough level that most don't bother.
Right. On the other hand, a Bash script has a low barrier to entry, it's handy not to have to install certificates on the client, and the highest possible security is not always top priority (if, for example, you're just trying to evade your government's illiberal bulk domain/IP address collection policies). Swings and roundabouts, I'd say.
You can't just replace that entire low with buildings though. Those homes and buisineses still need some parking.

No need to make that parking mandatory, but anyone building that stuff will want to include some parking. How much can be left to them.
Maybe it makes sense to do underground parking, maybe that is too expensive.
