ive been trying keypirinha since a few weeks ago. its not bad. its nice improvement over launchy and is being developed unlike launchy which hasnt been touched in years.
having to change the settings from a text file in keypirinha is bit of a pain though.

anyway, from what i can tell, cerebro is able to show you a lot more things and also has plugins. keypirinha just shows basic things like files and apps i think
So he's clearly very expressive and not particularly photogenic.

What problems does that actually expose about his platform, or how does it show that his opponents are correct? It is barely even an ad-hominem attack - am attack on his character or reputation might lead me to believe that his viewpoint is held by untrustworthy people, but his face? It means nothing.

And yet it does have a small subconscious impact, causing a bias in my thinking.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that. Whereas shebang notation is understood by the executable loader, not the shell.
It could also be because of lower lead levels, a less competitive culture, greater empathy due to mass media, or a side effect of mens' generally lower testosterone levels. We don't really have a clue what really is causing the drop.
At those speeds, doesn't the cable/bus length play a huge role? What's the maximum length that can support them? I'd imagine it'd be a few centimeters at most...
Extremely impressive, enjoyed poking through it.
That is stupid sophistry. In looking at an economy, comparing economic models, forced labor during 4-5 war years (especially a war which turned out to be a big loss and destruction of the country) is different than institutionalized serfdom/slavery over generations.
This article is all over the place. I'll ignore the games are "frivolous" angle as they obviously are and that's not a bad thing - you can say that about any sort of entertainment.

With my gamer hat on I want to comment on the eye-catching section with all the negative reviews of modern non-games.

The author is being passive aggressive about it but I think it's safe to assume he's upset that people who buy games expect to receive games for the money they pay. This is good advice for any product: deliver on what the product promises. If you sell a car with comfortable seats but no engine maybe what you should've made was a novelty sofa instead. The fault is with your product not with the "stupid consumer" who doesn't appreciate the super comfy seats. I'm sorry I'm making this obvious point but somehow the author managed to miss it.
This appears to be a paper written for satisfying a CS Master's degree requirement. If you are looking for a survey on this topic, this is probably a better starting point: https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.00616
You know why people in rich countries don't have a lot of kids? It's because when you give people everything they to have a decent life they start to think about other things than just having tons of kids, kids are the retirement fund for poor people, give them enough to have a decent retirement fund and suddenly they will stop having ton of kids.

Overpopulation is not the problem in itself, the problem is that people do not have enough to survive, all when we as humans are producing more wealth per capita than any other time in history.
None of those things are mutually exclusive. It's likely a combination of some or all.
Wow!

I'm sure you could provide some tedious explanation for why this isn't heartless, antihumane, and a bit racist, but please don't bother...

That's not all "the git project" is doing. Work to allow git to support an alternate crypto checksums is on-going. One of the key steps is to replace the hard-coded use of char[40] with a "struct object_id" object, and it is about 40% done[1].

[1] http://public-inbox.org/git/20170217214513.giua5ksuiqqs2laj@...

Like many volunteer projects, the work would go faster if more people helped. What "the git project" considers important works the same way as "how much is bitcoin worth", or "how much is gold worth". People who think it's important can show the value by putting their effort where they think it is most important. Or, of course, people can snipe from the side-lines, and make themselves feel all self-important.

There has actually been a lot of thought about how to do a graceful transition period, but to also on how switch from a soft cutover to a hard cutover (breaking backwards compatibility and requiring people to upgrade their clients) to allow time for developers to upgrade at a reasonable rate, where reasonable can be defined on a per-git repository basis. So if you want to force a flag day as soon as the code is available, and not wait for stability testing, etc., those people who value security uber ales, and who don't want to rely on trusting kernel.org, etc., can do so.

I will note, though, that most people are doing blind pulls, or worse, blind merges, from developers outside of their immediate circle of trust _all_ _the_ _time_. Heck, people will cut and paste command lines from web pages of the form "curl http://alfred.e.numman/what/me/worry | bash" into root shells all the time! So if you are not auditing every line of code before a git pull, the fact that git is using SHA-1 is the least of your worries.

Personally, if I were a nation state planning on trying to insert the equivalent of a DUAL-EC backdoor into open source software, I'd do that by spending a person year or ten getting a collection of developers to be trusted contributors to some key open source project, like Docker, or Python, or even yes, the Linux kernel or git, and then "accidentally on purpose" introducing a buffer-overrun or some other zero day into said OSS code base. Or heck, just simply invest in finding more zero days that people have inserted into their code just because they're not careful!

So, sure, "we" should upgrade git to be able to support multiple crypto hash algorithms, and there is work going into doing this. But at the same time, it's important to keep a sense of perspective on all of this --- unless, of course, your goal is to make yourself seem important by exuding a sense of self-righteousness.
Sure, but even if the equipment and low-level employees were in film, they had the brand and engineering to be at the forefront. And if anyone could have known that digital would be the future, it was Kodak. is this institutional blindness and resistance to change a sort of sunk cost error on a massive scale?
(fixed formatting of above comment)

ah yes, besides this fiasco...

* trying to dredge up dirt on journalist for being negative towards your company

* having the ceo say an incident involving a uber driver choking a passenger "never happened"

* offering customers rides with "hot chicks" in france

* kalanik boasting that he should have called the company "boober" from all the women he gets

* having a "god view" that employees used to spy on exes, politicians and celebrities. they paid a measly $20k fine and supposedly continue to still allow employees to use god view.

.

keep in mind the executive who tried to find dirt on journalists to blackmail them wasn't even fired by kalanik.

BUT YES. YES. the press! the media! they're all out to get Uber.

It can be true, but my point is that it probably isn't true. And I've explained why I think this. You can look at passive investing as defecting in a large game of prisoner's dilemma (tragedy of the commons). With passive investing you enjoy the benefits of an efficient market without doing any analysis yourself (or paying for somebody else to do it on your behalf). So you can advise every individual to defect (because it's in their best interest) but if too many people defect the system breaks down.

So when you say "It can be true that [...] retail and institutional investors shouldn't invest in actively-managed funds", that can mean two totally opposite things, as hopefully you can now see. That's why we talk past each other. I also suspect there is a real disagreement about what the impact of index funds will be in the long term.
It sounds like a lot of the top level comments are missing the point,and think this article is simply about how video games are not useful. I didn't get that at all (the first few paragraphs are confusing imo, though), and the paragraph below seems to highlight his relationship with games.

> Working in games has given me so much, and I know that’s true of many others as well. I can’t wait to help finish and release Tokyo 42 with the brilliant duo at SMAC Games: it’s such a vibrant thing that I can see it causing a big stir. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into Frozen Synapse 2 and assisting Ian in fulfilling his vision for it, then moving on to a new creative collaboration we’ve started to discuss. Games allow me to use all of my slightly weird collection of half-abilities at once: I don’t think anything else would do that. They’re a way that I can work on things which really exist, which don’t just evaporate into the air.
I do not believe they are specific to these countries. I had a look at France (where I am from) and that are no Jean-Marc Duponts.

This is a metric like others, with its shortcomings but it has its use.
I would be honestly delighted to see a competitive one about, say, volunteering in pediatric hospitals showing that there are no Jean-Marcs but rather plenty of Mohameds. The positive metrics, so to speak. One which is neutral (do not volunteering in the streets for instance whet you need to be "alike" in order to be accepted) but something truly showing integration.
I do volunteer work and, sadly, do not see such trend.
This comment and the parent to both ring true and precisely captures the problem for me. The disambiguation I find is to choose a path following a passion, and eliminate any demotivation along the way. Optimizing for motivation is an unachievable goal. The two things that have worked the best for me is to avoid labelling things mentally as 'not fun' and recently pair programming. In place of the former, keep in mind that each thing needs to get done to get to a goal you desire. Whenever I work on a project I take pride in, I rarely feel demotivated, so eliminate things which reduce pride in a project, such as tech debt or low quality implementations. Of course there has to be a balance and timing to this as well.
> The "chicken skin for flavoring" part isn't especially appealing

How is that un-appealing? The best part of a roasted chicken is the skin.
Wow, some of the comments in this thread are pretty harsh considering the developer has worked hard on providing what looks to me like a pretty cool free app. Nobody is forcing you to install it.
Thank you for taking the time (and referring to the point I made instead of criticizing the code, which is experimental and a little crappy in places).

Looks interesting and I will keep an eye on it. But am I right guessing that the TypeScript you linked would not work if the schema is only read at runtime?
In theory we could use food stamps to force people to do things on pain of starvation, but in practice we just do a little bit of drug testing sometimes. Meanwhile, the problems caused by unwanted babies are huge. If we could enact mass sterilization to reverse mass incarceration, the poor and ethnic would be better off even if they did face some discrimination in restoring reproductive access. Not to mention how much better everyone's sex life would be without worrying about kids.

The substantive point is nudging people on their unconscious biases has always been iffy. The practice doesn't turn distasteful when a nasty figure employs the tool, it had always been that way, even in the hands of the good guys.

Bloomberg has a massive network effect which makes it difficult to displace. Particularly when you move away from exchange traded products like equities and into areas like corporate fixed income, interactions are still conducted via bilateral discussion (i.e., online chat and text price dissemination). To be in the game you need to be where everyone else is talking. There is an ecosystem of price scraping and trade processing in Bloomberg which facilitates the whole trade and portfolio management process. I can route orders via Bloomberg to any broker and monitor execution of my orders in real-time. No the costs are not cheap but it is a lot cheaper than hiring several members of an operations team which would be necessary if this was all done manually.

Bloomberg is also like an operating system. For example, there are electronic execution venues in many types of instruments which use the Bloomberg as their front-end. This is very valuable. When you are a trader, screen real estate is critical. You can have 6 30" monitors and it still isn't enough if your tools are fragmented across 50 platforms. The more you can keep things integrated into a few core tools the better.

You are also paying a ton for ultra-responsive service. When millions or billions are on the line you don't have time to mess around on a help-line. On a Bloomberg you have 24-7 ultra-responsive skilled help who are responsive in around 30 seconds.

There are other reasons but end of the day if you are a pro then 30k/year isn't cheap but its a lot cheaper than trying to hack around with amateur tools.

Kodak spun out their chemical arm as Eastman in 1994. It was clear that there was going to be trouble ahead anyway, the main line of the business was polymers, and they were coming under increased pressure from Asia.
I was looking for someone to mention exercise.

At 32 I just discovered that exercise gives me energy to code.

It's taken me this long because I kept repeating the same mistake. I started exercising regularly, after 1-2 weeks inspiration to code in my free time came back to me. This also affects my work positively.

But then I get so enthralled by coding, I get back the energy to stay up all nights, 8 hour hackathons, so I forget to exercise. And slowly the energy dissipates and I'm back to square 1.

So this is the first time I can look back and see this pattern in my life. Hopefully it will lead to some change.
Of course it did. I just read the guidelines again, and I will ask, again, which guideline did this comment break?

however how much of his coverage was positive versus her positive coverage?

If anything the press's doubling down against him helped him because it also showed independents how in bed the press had become with one party.

Love him or hate he has a personality and he correctly realized that with a highly negative press it was best to portray them as the establishment as well.

The part I respect is he stomped on all three establishments which do their best to control Washington (RNC, DNC, and the Press).

I worked on Thomson Reuters Messenger, which Symphony tried hiring ex-Thomson people to work on. Symphony is a joke and will never gain any traction in any market. Bloomberg is the king, and if you don't have money you use Reuters. Otherwise your probably not very high end on finance.
One hypothesis: violent criminality is heritible to some degree.
Another point - Bloomberg by an large doesn't fail. This isn't some consumer "build fast, break things, and iterate" model. I can remember one time in my two decades using Bloomberg that something broke. For half a day this year the IB chat system went down. The world of finance practically ground to a halt. But that was the wild exception. Compared to most platforms Bloomberg may be a bit archaic but it is rock solid and thats way more important when you have billions on the line in realtime.

I've attended Women in STEM meetings at university as an undergrad and there was already weeding out. Posters for the Women in STEM meetings were always getting torn down. Asian Americans in STEM or Robotics Club posters were not removed as aggressively as the Women in STEM posters. Furthermore, pretty much every woman ther had an experience that I would find hard to say could ever happen to me as a male. One told me of a story where a TA called them "woman" instead of their real name several times. One told me they heard their boss saying "we should only hire the hot ones(referring only to hiring females if they're attractive to the boss)". I really can't imagine either of those things happening to a man in the workspace.
> I think they should re-build the whole thing as a browser based application

Hopefully they understand that it would be a terrible idea. The current interface is orders magnitude more usable and responsive than a web interface could be. Despite the "terminal" look-and-feel it's constantly evolving and many parts are quite modern.
CS is not just another field/community, like tradesmen, garbage collectors, or astronomers. It is a field/community that is accruing disproportionate economic and political power. Society owes equal opportunity (minimally) and representation (ideally) to all of its constituents into the halls of power.

This is why, not coincidentally, criticisms of affirmative action in tech that point at the relative lack of interest in e.g. teachers or garbagemen fall flat. Those positions and communities don't broker power.
iirc statisticly any of those 4 ideas will not be better then the best of the 3 you already tested. and one startup is already enough work.
Hm.

I don't expect it that it was the Spanish Inquisition.

Cerebrō was Latin for brain before it was Spanish, so probably it's some kind of Future Past thing with the Colosseum. Which explains why it's so beat up, but not how Magneto lifted it when the Romans didn't have steel-reinforced concrete.
Or is it because bringing up kids responsively in industrial countries is really expensive?
Doesn't seem to work with javascript turned off.

In earlier days this was first sign of being progressive, but new generation of developers doesn't seem to care about this?
Yes, something like that, but this shop version is not good. You want it fresh from a baker, and then it will be a little bit less dense and have a much more pleasant texture. It is excellent the day it was made and the next and then stays okayish for about 3 more days, when stored in a paper bag or a wooden box. It keeps a bit longer in plastic but will go moldy instead of dry. But the way it goes dry does not fit the word 'stale' imho.

If you put it in a toaster it will still be good after 5 days. The time also depends on the flour - rye keeps longer than wheat, and things like a generous amount of sunflower seeds help.

Baguette is good too, but is only good for like half a day. And I feel better if I go for the darker bread most of the time.
Confirmed. Worked on Thomson Reuters chat, which is FREE for anyone with an email address at a bank or financial institution, and we could not crack the hold that IB(Instant Bloomberg) had.

> Purpose, Big money, and Satisfaction

Seems like the CAP theorem. Like Cloud Spanner, there is way to practically achieve it: startups. Choose something you believe in, the big money will come when you succeed.

Please forgive if often answered: what's an acceptable duration for working at a string of startups? Two years? More/less?

Also if there's a number of startups that you can work at before it is not possible to believe in positive purpose or possibility to succeed, what's that ballpark figure?
So, people shouldn't be able to comment their point of view because the developer worked hard?
HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-In-One Printer Driver Download
Completely agree. Electron is free, easy to use and doesn't take much effort. Although it isn't the most memory efficient thing in the world, it is great at making really small applications (like this one) which developers can easily make plugins for.

Javascript is probably one of the most common languages, with Node.JS the most common server-side variant of it, allowing so very many people to contribute.

Also, we live in age where we don't have 100MB systems. At the moment the program is using a whole 30MB, which constitutes about 0.4% of my 8GB system.
