There should be no need for 'wars' or even 'negotiation'.

It's the managers decision - not the developers, really.

The devs can lay out what can be done, and describe what the results will be if various paths are chosen.

'Skip the tests' - you get quality issues, but better schedule.

'Write perfect code' - you get quality, but it could take to long.

The old saying: 'fast' 'quality' or 'cheap' -> pick 2.

If your team is having problems because of bike-shedding over details, or messed up code - this is altogether another issue and needs to be addressed differently.
How free-form are the map changes? Do you mean opening and closing doors - or completely changing the terrain as in for example Minecraft?

One option would be to look for strategies that "look intelligent", instead of being perfectly optimal paths at every simulation frame.

Run slow pathfinding for an enemy and store the path. Have them follow the path until they hit a player-created obstacle, and only then re-run pathfinding. Besides being faster, this could let the players use the enemy behaviour to their advantage by creating traps or such.
Neither of those you named are Google problems.

Nobody of us might like spam, but there is obviously something that keeps these in the business. What? Eradicate that, remove their cash flow.

I might not like sites that aren't mobile friendly, but fortunately, when I'm not in a mood so scroll around it, I can always close it. No need for Google to step in.

I also do not like children being presented with porn/cigarette/alcohol/whatever advertising/results. But - these result do not come themselves, they are initiated, usually by those children. There is more need for parenting, than for Google protection. If it really bothers you, most routers allow for filtering the web, and some ISPs provide that as a service - for those interested, as it should be.

The problem with common sense vs censorship is: where you draw the line? That's the hard question, and easily abused one at that. Especially by entities like Google, who are not a harmless protector of innocent or knight in shiny armor. They are businesses, who have interest that may not align with yours, especially in the long run.
Yes, that's correct. On those 3 times I eat whatever I want, imagine that I have plenty of time to plan that meals :)

HPCG is a memory bound application so I doubt it runs the system as hot as HPL (high performance linpack)

Hi, can you talk a bit more about this? I have extremely low iodine and have been trying to figure out how to address it, so your mention of iodine caught my attention.

Also, when you say iodine and apoptosis my first thought is cancer treatment— is that what you're implying?
CCTV Camera at Dutch train stations.

Yes, sounds crazy, but these guys designed a cctv camera that doesn't feel intimidating and big brother-ish but feels more friendly and pleasing. I absolutely love looking at them while at the station. It was designed by a dutch Design firm called Fabrique. You can read more about it here: http://designobserver.com/article.php?id=38335
It is true that I believe both Gates and Buffet are insiders. They're at the far end of the economic distribution, and, by simple self interest, have to take an interest in all the concerns I mentioned. I'd wager you could do an image search on Bill Gates and most world leaders and find a picture of them together. I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'insider', but I don't see how outsider' applies.
Spent a year in China and got used to it (they only serve hot water there in restaurants and such, tap water is not drinkable).

It feels good, it tastes good as well (not many people believe me when I say that), if your tap water tastes shitty it makes it good, if it's cold it warms you up, can even help your digestion :]

In the end, it's kind of like tea, but with a different flavor.
>They have government-sanctioned monopolies in everything from office property to ski resorts. Telecom industry is even more of a joke than Australia or US.

TIL resisting neoliberal market ideology = corruption.

Why is this hard to understand? A tiny nation cannot rely on private capital to establish massive projects like national telecom or even office buildings. So people band together through government to do it. Sorry that government ownership of anything but a global war machine seems to offend you.
Social media is doing strange things to our memories
True.

But, do you think

"Mr. Trump, apparently seeking to cut the intelligence community, State Department, and other agencies out of the policy-making process almost entirely, may have triggered a conflict whose escalation we are seeing in the rising number of leaks."

is a good way to oppose that?
For data analysis, especially preliminary analysis, the existing ML and scidata packages make it trivial.
Except telling someone like the OP who clearly is not the kind of person that would believe the victim or try to get any help, and instead launch into a cross examination isn't going to do that. All that's going to do is make the victim feel even worse, and possibly discourage her from getting help or reporting at all.

>Just a justification (in the eyes of US citizens) to kill them straight away.

You mean the eyes of the US government. The citizens aren't out there killing foreign nationals. Saying US citizens are responsible for extra-judicial killings is like saying Muslims are responsible for terrorist attacks. It's wrong and it's offensive.
I agree, the social aspect is difficult. Going out with friends limits the times when I can fast. For long fasts, of more than 3 days, finding the time is difficult. I am only able to do 2 or 3 long fasts each year, because I only find time away from friends on rare occasions. If I had a family then I assume my fasting would be limited to once a year retreats of some kind.

Still, even once a year, I think there are great health benefits to long fasts. If you can go 10 or more days without food, surely that gives the body the chance to break down and absorb a lot of damaged cells that otherwise might be kept around?
You might want to go to the doctor with your acid reflux. I personally have to take an anti-acid everyday else it comes crawling back at me. Things like often clearing your throat can be a sign of it.
That sounds like a great idea. I've actually debated doing this before, but I wasn't sure if the service disruption was worth it considering it happens maybe once every other month and sporadically at that.
I work in a small agency (5 devs), and we use git flow.

Essentially, we perform builds from dev, release branches, and master (and hotfix, but this rarely ever happens), and move to these branches over a two week sprint cycle. We work on dev during the sprint, move to a release branch when we're preparing for a client-facing release, and when the sprint is over we merge into master, perform our final regression tests and tag the release with the sprint version number (GitVersion helps a ton for this).

The key point for our production process is that a single build is used to go between environments. We use Octopus Deploy to package up our build and to perform the necessary transforms for deploying to different environments.

Thanks for this article. I have been considering the feasibility of starting a WISP here in West Texas, so it's cool to see the beggining stages from the inside perspective.

I whish I knew more about the laws on common access to equipment/lines. For example, the only cable provider locally is Suddenlink, AT&T Uverse is still on copper phone lines, and there is only one local ISP bringing fiber to residential customers. The local ISP got a huge bunch of grants for the fiber rollout (of course someone embezzled a bunch of it (few mil) and they had to get bought out to get the new set of grants) but all I want to know is: if the government payed for the fiber rollout, shouldn't I be able to use it as well for a nominal fee of some sort?

What about ownership and fees on the last mile? How does all that work? I just wish there was a clear and simple place to find this stuff out. It feels like the ISP game is really geared towards big companies expanding or buying existing ISP's, and is not very encouraging of small local competition.

Of course, that's where WISPs come in, because it is so much simpler to not have to deal with all the trenching and agreements, and the equipment is getting better and better and cheaper and cheaper. (loving ubiquity airfiber products for example).

Anyway, more power to you, I hope things work out. I would like to see more posts about the business/political/technical struggles you run into.
They still look like cameras to me :\ (not that I mind)
Good point, but there are quite a few sites nowadays that are hosted on platforms with no immediate access to raw Apache logs, especially if your site is served by a CDN.
There is no advantage. Like it or not, he won the election fair and square. The people in the civil service did not, by definition they have no authority or legitimacy to undermine him. If the civil service can just stop obeying him for no other reason than because they don't like him, we might as well not have an executive branch, because then "undermine the president" becomes a completely valid tactic for either side to try and steer the ship without actually bothering to win the democratic process that would have let them do it legitimately.

This should be absolutely unacceptable to everyone from either party.

The difference is I knew people excited about glass. These, not so much. There was some early scarcity hype, but I feel it was more about reselling and 'exclusivity' than function. Early Lada ownership is exclusive too.
So, the thing that interests me is this -- if the biggest time-waster is waiting for the scanner, why not have multiple scanners in that loop, for enhanced parallel processing?

The only major problem is the keyboard layout which IMO is close to inexcusable. Swapping fn and ctrl with no way of fixing it is thoughtless at a level that a company like Apple shouldn't tolerate.
At an individual scientist out of hundreds of thousands because he posted a chart or graph about climate change? It seems unlikely that Trump would even be aware of it, much less act.

That said do you think Obama endeavored to keep around many statisticians and sociologists whom did polls like the Pew study that proved that 12% of US Muslims believe that suicide bombing of civilian "enemies of Islam" can be justified[0]? Politicians fund research that benefits their agenda obviously.

Thats not how I read it. They tried to push out the last few women, while scheming to keep them? Why hire them in the first place?

I take it at face value, Oblivious Employees/Managers thought that not paying extra for women's jackets was equality.
I think that people overlook the social barriers to adopting even intermittent fasting. My partner (a doctor) thinks it's bonkers and dislikes it when I want to skip meals that we would normally share (family dinner). That's not an insurmountable barrier, but combined with nights out with friends, drinks after work, etc...my fasting routine can get worn down nothing after a few weeks. I hope as the health benefits get popularized, we see some cultural shifts that make it more acceptable in social settings and family structures.
Anybody interested the doctors from the USC article on aging above and here[1] about simulated fasting now have a startup for it http://l-nutra.com/prolon/ and here https://prolonfmd.com/ though only available in US, Italy and Australia right now. It's a 5 day fast once a month for overweight people or every couple of months for in shape people. No idea what the price is.

Years ago Firefox used to have a disclaimer of "Only use this software from official sources, you should never pay money for this software" kind of thing, because that practice happened all the time. Companies made money reselling Firefox to people who didn't know any better or weren't paying attention.

No idea if Megaupload was responsible or not, but it was certainly a popular fraud.

This was a super interesting read. The one thing I never fail to get over though is how expensive internet is in the states. In the UK you can get 200/20 for about £58 p/m including TV & Phone. I couldn't imagine paying nearly $100 p/m for 100mbps.

What I don't get around the new efforts around container-native storage: if you decide to build a new container-native storage system, why would you aim for block storage and not file storage?

Block storage is not exactly a great fit for containers as you can't access its file systems from multiple hosts and fail-over is a hassle (forced remount, fsck).
You could store tile images locally, similar to Google Maps offline download. App size may be an issue.

Personally, for the social aspect, I'm just quite open about it -- I just try not to go to the pub/restaurant etc but if the topic comes up, I just claim I'm becoming a shaolin monk and currently working on my kung-fu. Try that with a serious face :-)
It's impressive to watch you try to come up with more FUD.
I'm pretty sure that was the media's condensation of his statements, I don't believe he worded it that way at all. And I think the point is that much of what he calls fake news isn't at all, some disagreeable, highly partisan or otherwise biased, but also some completely accurate and correct.
I can relate to that "high".

I'm not sure about the science behind this but my best guess is that it's like the opposite of the drowsy feeling you get after a big meal:

You aren't spending energy on digestion, and the whole body and brain "wake up" and become alert, because, well, you need to be alert so you can survive and get more food! haha
Chill out, this is about "fasting on stem cells", not on people :)
What's funny to me is: if you don't do the add in a loop, go1.8 generates the add code:

go func() {
atomic.AddUint64(&a, uint64(1)) // no loop
}()

To me, it's the unpredictability of how compilers will choose to apply these extreme optimizations that is most frustrating. Reasoning from the spec ("the goroutine might not be scheduled anyway") isn't very satisfying when the compiler clearly doesn't follow logic like this. The implementers reason from the spec and then glue together a mishmash of targeted optimizations--presumably the ones they think will be most helpful.

I suppose many modern modes of programming with composable abstractions result in lots of dead code, and it's a net win for the compiler to aggressively try to get rid of it. With simpler languages like C or Go, though, I might prefer a rule like: "I wouldn't have written the code if I didn't want any instructions generated from it."
Well, there are philosophical arguments for preferring one over another. On the other hand, I've got to get work done and both tools do the job.

I'd say I'm philosophically Bayesian, but frequentist techniques are often more convenient.
Don't forget the evidence that isn't public.
Exactly the point many times. The media raises questions to be answered by our leaders.
As far as I can tell it's just as broken if you change the Add to a Store (at least, doing that and breaking in the main routine when it's > 1 still times out on play.golang.org). That just turned into a (terrible) spinlock and has no overflow issues.

Remember what happened to Ellen Pao and Julie Ann Horvath? Remember what happened to the number of women who came forward saying that Trump sexually harassed them?

Saying "sue" is easy if you're not the one that has to deal with the fallout from it. Several months if not years dragged through the courts, having to relive the experience. Being blacklisted from the industry and unable to find a job. Constant harassment from frog trolls who seem to pop up every time a woman tries to assert that she's a human being.

Came here to post about Clearly Superior Technology trackballs. So so so much better than anything else I've ever used. I'm actually sad that most people don't know they exist.
As a relative blanket statement, since thats what we're making here, its not a free speech issue. I believe most western countries that hold the embodiment of free speech, largely exempt private entities from being adhered to the same free speech laws as the government is. There are caveats and things in every country, and I'm not educated enough on that to list all the exemptions and caveats, but broadly speaking, I believe this to be true in most western countries that hold free speech as a right and/or common law

So i still wouldn't say they're stopping free speech by not including a website in a google search. You can argue, and I think rightly, that it would stifle the freedom of information to be discovered that wants to be discovered and consumed in that way, however, its not actually silencing or shutting down the website it may be censoring and/or not including, and it is still accessible.

Its not 'my speech' either. Illegally downloading and spreading content isn't speech in the first place, and the courts have ruled as such, as do the laws we currently have in place reflect that.

At the end of the day, I'm not seeing much of a justification for people getting content illegally.

> Stihl Chainsaws

Can definitely speak to the quality of Stihl tools. When I bought my first house, for the first three years I ended up buying a new cheap electric $80 string trimmer every year. They would burn out, mysteriously fail, or the string would get twisted up in the drive shaft and you couldn't get it out without taking the whole thing apart.

After the third one I'd had enough and I bought the $500 Stihl gas Kombisystem [0] with the string trimmer attachment. That was eight years ago and it still works perfectly. Starts on the third pull every single time. I eventually added the blower and edger attachments as well, replacing several other yard tools with a single system.

The only real downside is Stihl is an extremely old school company. I don't think they sell online to this day and you can't find their stuff in your local big box hardware store. I had to go buy mine from an actual equipment dealer out in the county. So you may have to hunt around to find a place that sells them.

The simplicity of this is pretty compelling. I use GA a lot and it can definitely be a time-sink. Mirror Shades may be a good alternative for beginners who are overwhelmed by GA or for simple landing sites that don't need the full GA suite right away. For my next landing page test, I'll try Mirror Shades out.

Is the map dynamic as in it changes in an unpredictable way all the time? If that's the case the best you can do maybe to path find in the static parts then try your best to follow the path while avoiding things nearby.
If the map predictably changes between 2 or 3 states you could precompute paths on that and change between them when the map moves.
