yeah, but we're talking about what website operators can do to speed up their site. you can try to dramatically reduce the number of files you need to send. OR, you can just enable HTTP2. HTTP2 seems like a more simple answer.
I've frequently been defeated myself because the project size was too large and too ambitious. Being a perfectionist also really doesn't help, but it's my nature. So I've learnt to instead focus on a wayyy smaller project, and I'm making more progress than ever because well, the finishing line is much nearer.

Also, using Pivotal Tracker or some agile tool to track stories gives me a kick to doing things. Commit to a small number stories per defined sprint period and get it done.
People are allowed to have different goals. You should step back and learn to respect that.
This hurt to read because it's something I've recognized in myself and I've been thinking about how to solve it for a while now. Looking back it was a habit I started long before I ever touched a line of code–I used to sketch and paint a lot but would never finish a piece. Analyzing that I realized I was chasing a "high" that you get from exploring new ideas and even when I wanted to finish something I made it incredibly difficult by not having even a loose idea of what "done" looked like. I think having the "finished" figured out (even if it changes) might help a lot because anything that makes things harder once you're past the fun part is a multiplier for demotivation.

It does make me feel a little better knowing I'm not alone in my shame though. And hearing about other's solutions is really helpful too.
Great conference :-) can't recommend it enough
This appears to be incomplete. It explains coarse and fine grinding but that's not enough to make a usable mirror. You need to continue with polishing and figuring before getting it aluminized. Here's an explanation of the whole process:

Getting a reliable pulse on the culture before joining is definitely an important problem to solve.

Ideally try to find someone you know who works there or has worked there. If that doesn't exist then a second-degree connection might. Your LinkedIn connections are a good place to check.

For an early stage company, this will be difficult, especially if you are hire 1-10. In that case I would try to make inferences from the founder's resumes based on where they worked prior (eg defense industry, big co, startup, agency) and in what roles. Culture doesn't appear out of thin air and is influenced by our history, so this can be useful info to keep in mind.
Going by these AMP comment threads, I must be in the minority, but my browsing habits dictate that I hardly ever see AMP content when browsing from my phone.

Any advice for a prospective speaker applicant? I want to highlight the intersection artificial intelligence, video games, and education. I'm a math game developer.
This one is not that interesting from a technical point of view, but it was funny to me at the time. As best as I can recall …

It was 2003 and I was working on various test servers for a client. A new to me (old junky box in truth) server was put in my office area. A few days later people (only a couple of us there at a time) were complaining about the internet speed and if I was having any issues. I didn't notice anything, yahoo seemed to open up quick enough.

I was not a networking guy. However, I got to noticing a lot of traffic on the network. People kept complaining about speed issues during the week. The Internet was, now that I think about it, a little sloooowwww. That blinky nic light on that server sure looks busy! Whoa!!! It is infected with the Code Red II or Slammer/Saphire worm!

Opps!

Unplugged. Everything okay now.
1. Most of Android is Open Source - see Amazon Fire, for example. Is there an equivalent of that on windows?

2. MS took apple's approach that everything (on their new platform) must go through the store.

Even if right now they give exceptions, it's as I said above an example of them trying to build market share. Will they have an "Unknown Sources" button when they get 80% of the market?
It's a poor article, with a few questionable points of data interspersed with padding.

But I'll say that I've looked into co-working spaces and what the author said about being productive for a few days and then it's jibber jabber all day is what i expect and why I've not pulled the trigger.

I like the idea of networking and meeting people, and working in a work environment instead of my bedroom. But at some point I need privacy and limited distractions for most of the day. A co-working space where I can put walls around my desk when needed is what I really want.
It's also needlessly frickin' huge. It's worse than Industrial (oh, the memories...). It's like it was designed for touch screens and tablets, not monitors and real computers.

Someone built a "smaller" version a while ago, but it hasn't been updated, so it no longer works on recent GTK versions.

FYI: I don't know if English is your first language but you are using commas excessively. All the commas in the first four sentences should be removed and the final comma should be 'of'.

EDIT: Also, the second sentence should be "This should not stop us (humanity)."
Well, broadly speaking, the idea is that there may be a subtle underlying mechanism in gene expression that we are unaware of.

So maybe you'll be able to remove a gene that could cause albinism in an individual, then 25 years later discover that the individual has become sterile.

It may seem otherwise but we still know very little on how a set of genes encodes information of how an organism will develop.
you can't write on a computer screen -- even with touch screens it's rather clumsy.

Write a clear guideline, and ask team to follow it.
During the code review, you only ask to stick to guidelines (that everyone agreed on). This way programmers won't feel like your subjective opinion is affecting their work.

Why not create even stronger passwords with Dashlane? It's free!

> in finder it's not

The finder doesn't have cut. It has "move" as an alternative to "paste".

App level window switching is always command-~ (tilde). Any app doing otherwise is non standard.

Macs have had a show-desktop keyboard button for years.

Virtually everything is righ clickable in macos. You've picked one case where it isn't.

macs have multiple modifier keys, that's a fact. For most technical users I'd say that's a positive. There's only so many combinations you can make with one modifier key.
Well said I agree!
My current pet peeve with password resets goes like this:

1) Forgot the password, start the recovery process.

2) Get to the "create a new password" phase, look at the rules.

3) Rules require special characters, caps, etc. So I make one.

4) I get the "This password has been used before" error.

5) Now I have to think up a new random one.

If that password 'that was used before' was the current one, why can't I just continue to use it??? Now I remember the password (usually because of the silly special character requirements), so we're good, right? Wrong.
Seems to be more 'filtering access logs by a blacklist' than actually detecting bots.

I run a VPN through Hetzner, so requests from my IP are not a bot (I hope!). Really you want to look at the paths (filtering out all the /w00tw00t requests) and the user agents above all, which the author touches on. However a whitelist approach is better than a blacklist IMO.

Also in the `in_block` you really want to hoist the `IPAddress(ip)` call out of the `any()` loop!
It's not clear from the kickstarter, but everything points to this product being some form of fiber-reinforced ribbon form of "polymorph" - aka:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycaprolactone

That's not to make light of it - I think it is an interesting form of the substance; hopefully it catches on because it has some interesting use-cases that normal polycaprolactone can't easily touch (for instance, it would be a great addition to an emergency kit for off-roading usage - for some repairs and other things).
Hostile takeover, I think.
I just use the recover your password functionality over and over on many sites.
I hit some keys typing into notepad then paste that into both password reset boxes and then paste it again logging in. Sometimes though I have to type A1! on the end if the site requires capitals or a number or a special character.
People seen it, you assumed wrong. Some people give good quality feedback, some people give bad quality feedback and I really did not gained all that much. I was ok with not gaining much, I am not complaining. People do and don't do things for variety reasons, even one human has usually multiple contributing reasons for everything. If you assume single reason for most people, you are likely to be wrong.

Lastly, random strangers on the internet telling you that you did build shit does not mean you did built shit. Nor them telling you that you did something awesome means you did something awesome. They may be right or wrong, they may be trolls, they may want to feel you good, they may have had bad day.

The feedback may be useless simply because they have different goals that you had. Especially in situation where your goal was to ship whatever is possible withing x hours (topic of this thread) and the public it is a shit cause they would accept something equivalent to days of work. Which is alright as far as I am concerned, but hardly a learning experience.

How to Recover a Disk Partition with TestDisk and GParted Live
I don't really understand how a perfect shape can come out of that process. Can someone explain how it's a product of the grinding technique?
When I'm working on performance, I measure twice and cut once. I know measuring is 'hard' as there's a lot of code optimised for x86 in VS, but saying 'It would be slower built for 64 bit' is cutting before measuring even once.

I have the greatest of respect for the author, but everyone needs to be exposed to 'trust, but verify' at least occasionally, just in case they happen to be wrong this once.
"I don't really find VS Code to be any slower than VS."

Given VS Code has a fraction of the features VS has, it should be noticeably faster. It will eventually be GB of bloat and slower than VS.

What I'd like to see instead is features being broken out into separate components that can be used by any other editor/tool. Of course, if every component is going to required it's own dot file in my home directory to (maybe) turn off telemetry, I won't touch it, so I'd rather see those things developed by someone other than MS.
Unless you have a compelling reason to avoid systemd, I think just adopting it would be easier in the long run because most common distributions are headed that direction.

I didn't experience any stability issues with Ubuntu when it transitioned to systemd from Upstart (14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS). I've written simple Upstart services and what systemd offers with its units is comparable. There is a learning curve though.
But the limited specification may put off consumers, although the price-point being lower will help!

Thanks for the kind words Maciej. I still vividly remember your lectures about PyPy at RuPy in Poznań.
It's not just about "you should code like that because that's how we code here" type of problems. That makes you, the arrogant person in the story. You should create a list of bugs generated by his code. If the list is significant AND if you believe these bugs could be avoided by incorporating %100 of your code review feedback, then setup a 1-1 quality meeting with him and go over the list. Tell him how this could be avoided in the future and that the goal is to stay away from bugs and to focus on fun things. Don't use "you should", use "we should", act like it's a team effort.

If he doesn't accept your invite, or doesn't want to cooperate during this meeting, resend an invite and include your manager and QA and all the other engineers. Update your list of bugs and add bugs from the whole team not only his bugs. Then make it a real team exercise. The problem will raise during this meeting and everyone will clearly see that this dude is a bug-generator.

It is a long process, but that's how you do it professionally. What do you earn from this big effort? People will thank you for taking initiatives and to raise the bar in terms of quality. In other words, you'll get a bonus ;) He will regret not listening to you when he had a chance to fix his mess "secretly".

While I'm sure some variant of that will occur at some point, many genetic disorders are relatively simple and well understood. Even if we are still learning, there are dozens of disorders we could eliminate if we had robust genetic editing capability with pretty good odds of success.
I'd think if you were actually concerned with those suffering from oppression, you wouldn't rank their suffering in order of severity to determine what any of us should focus on first (as if we can only think about one thing at a time... and if there are bigger problems, why aren't you naming them and offering possible solutions we can act on? They're big problems that we belittle with our own problems, right? What are you referring to here?).

Then it appears you dismiss her entirely just because her Twitter has feminist things in it. That makes her an extremist somehow.
I've often thought to ask whether we'd even come up with technology to pick up fast moving objects in space heading towards us even before we have the capacity to travel at those speeds ourselves.

we've always observe things in nature and then replicated them, if we saw something move faster than light that would advance our technology even if it's just by knowing it exists elsewhere.

MS did not see the internet coming. I remember being at conferences in the '90s and speaking with boastful MS types about the "Microsoft Network", which required a paid subscription. "This internet stuff is just for universities, it doesn't have a future," one guy told me.

Of course, things didn't go that way, so Microsoft released IE5 and IIS and it was game on.

This analysis seems flawed. If you care about mass surveillance, you want their top-tier security and legal teams working for you.

extragalactic travel seems to be a really dangerous and difficult prospect. The journey will take millions of years (assuming no FTL travel), and there's basically nothing in between. Even if your species is immortal or something, there's serious risks. You need to bring everything to need for the journey, including energy, because there aren't any stars you can stop at along the way to gather solar energy. You'd have to be very careful planning things so you don't wind up stranded partway.
Why would you ever include user owned configs in nginx?
>I never said anything about anarchism, fascism, communism, etc.

I never said you did. What I said was "...Before attacking others beliefs as delusional (and then creating a ridiculous straw man argument) you might want to spend a little time trying to understand how their beliefs differ from anarchism, fascism, communism, etc."

>...The fact that in the real world, "Libertarianism" inevitably covers for, or becomes of them is more ...

So, besides attacking others beliefs as delusional, now it appears you are saying they are disingenuous. If you are simply going to use straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks don't be surprised if people don't take you seriously.
I prefer having a physical book. Flicking through pages to reread sections, highlighting and margin notes are not yet seamless with the reading app I'm using.

But Getting a tablet has increased the amount I'm reading by at least a factor of 4. It is now so easy to buy books after reading a recommendation online. The free sample feature makes it so I don't buy a book I won't like, And the built in dictionary has me looking up new words without pausing my reading flow.

Physical is great but I don't think I'll ever go back for reading fiction. Having said all that my kids will be getting physical books. The distractions in electronic devices is something I'm still struggling with.
How to Become an International Gold Smuggler
> Doctor: So do you want the $500 edit to ensure your child won't have diabetes. How about the $2,000 Autism edit? Then the gender change edit is to late to perform. We could do artificial semination and guarantee the gender of your child.

That's a straight up violation of the Hippocratic oath and blackmail/racketeering combined. We should enforce it strictly, vigilantly, and put doctors who attempt to do this in jail away for a very long time.

I understand your main argument stems from affordability of the procedure and that's a valid concern, but keep in mind that current societies already ration health care, either by availability/wait times (UK?) or wealth (USA). You won't be able to prevent the wealthy from modifying their offspring anyway and the unfairness of having them do it vs 99% not being able to afford do is not enough of a reason to stop progress, not even close. The goal should be to make this procedure routine, as affordable as an ultrasound or a tooth extraction or a cancer screen.

How do you address this with policy? The same way we should be addressing inequality right now.

Let me posit this question to you: if genetic enhancement would be available to 100% of the population, would you still have ethics concerns?

None of us was there, as you said. I do not take it as "more likely" that the victim earned three tazings. I also don't believe that effective policework would ever require tazing a drunk person three times.

I agree with this. People should have a place to live and food to eat, but at minimal cost to the taxpayer.

You're thinking about this backwards. Health is a personal responsibility. The things you cite are not decisions, naturally, but many things that make people sick are choices (smoking, poor diet, not exercising, etc) and the choice to not pursue employment that provides adequate health insurance is.

Just a random thought, your reality is made up of your environment. Ever imagine being taken out of the Earth and being in space. Suddenly, no bills, no kids, no debt, no whatever. Also nothing else either. You'd probably be dead haha. Still, if there are aliens, it's kind of dumbfounding like "Huh... am I free now?" Is there something greater than this government that controls me? Not saying the government does, I make my own dumb decisions that create my own misery.

It would be a slap to the face though, look at these aliens that can choose to anihilate us or enslave us. (bad case). Just my thoughts, I'm nobody, no credentials, this is purely opinion/current mental maturity haha.

I don't know it's always depressing to me how massive space is, 40 years traveling at 50-150,000mph and the voyager just leaves our solar system hahaha. Crazy. (my numbers might be off depending on reference but that idea of 4 years of 9,000,000 feet per second) to get to the nearest start (dot in the sky) holy christ.

edit: haha holy crap it's approximately 984 million feet per second for like 4.6 years

edit: voyager speed ~36,000 mph, not sure how long that took to build up to that speed.
There are two changes that make the situation less dire for SpaceX.

1) It's Dragon capsule has an amazing emergency escape system that can operate safely during most (if not all) of the launch and ascent. It can escape and land with the Draco boosters on the capsule, but also has parachutes to provide safety redundancy.

2) The fuel to launch the first stage of a Falcon 9 only costs a few hundred thousand dollars. So while mass fraction is still low, the cost is potentially as low as a few million for each first stage launch/refurb cycle.

Given second stages cost a fraction of what the first stage does, it's not necessary to re-use second stages to have massive potential savings.
I'm as Astronomer. I think it's very interesting to read about these kind of scenarios in novels, but I don't think they have a place in a scientific publication.

We are researchers, we try to explain the universe by improving our understanding of the physical processes that lie behind what we observe. The moment we bring aliens or gods into the picture to explain something for which we don't have an answer, we are doing a disservice to science.
You're right, I'm sure the billions of deeply religious people would cope with literal proof that we're not a privileged and special "creation". Even worse, they might not accept that.

Plus new tech, new perspectives, old power structures being overthrown, etc... etc...

Things would change, and change is good for the future, but dangerous to those living through it.
