On garbage days you are much more likely to confront a bear around, even inside, your house than by randomly coming across one in the woods. I'm thinking about this because last week was "bear awareness day" in my area. Posters are up to remind people that they are coming out of hibernation.
Another fan here. There are other small utilities that provide the same functionality, but Moom is best to me because it doesn't hijack screen edges/corners, preventing accidental maximizing and playing more nicely with a workflow with an even mix of maximized and odd-sized windows.

As a skydiver I would admit that the content of this article is a time-wasting bullshit. Here is a real world scenario:

1) you'll knock out either because of lack of oxygen or because of a violent spin

2) you'll freeze to death

3) you won't be able to position yourself properly or fly in a particular direction because of lack of training, so you'll hit the ground at a random place so hard that you'll die.

What I would do is flip to my back not to shock myself with the view of the earth coming at 120mph, relax and wait.

Towel huh. The speed difference is so big, that you'll never see a towel, that happened to fall off the same airplane as you.

There was a case in Russia not so long ago when a cameraman, who happened to be a very experienced skydiver, fell off a helicopter. He managed to drive himself towards a pond but died immediately because of water impact. The hit was so hard that his jumping suit was almost stripped off his body.
If there was a free market in ISP service, that would be perfectly fine. Almost all of the US is nowhere near a free market in ISP service.

[Brandenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio) is the case you want to look at. The court held that, to be unprotected “incitement,” speech must meet three requirements. The speaker must intend to cause violence. The violence must be the likely result of the speech. And the violence must be imminent. So, if equivalent circumstances are established, yes, the shouter might well be in trouble.

Before you quote the "fire in a theater" precedent again, please go and look up [Schenck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States) as well, since that's the origin of the quote, and because it's apparent that there is very little distance between "speech that will cause immediate harm to people isn't protected" and "speech criticizing wars isn't protected when we're at war" when you're a SCOTUS chief justice.

It seems like the amount of time/energy spent dressing up the bleak economic prospects of structural inequality as new fashions could be put to better use addressing these problems.

I'm a bit worried that this can be penny wise and dollar foolish. Increasing density like this temporarily lowers the minimum cost of rent, but the price per square foot skyrockets. I can't imagine that will be good for any of us.

I also can't imagine the actual cost of the building being anywhere near that much per person. I pay 50% more (each) with a roommate to live fantastically in a skyscraper that has plenty of room. How much is being pocketed in this arrangement?

Default in PHP is to output the bare text. Unless you wrap it in special markup '<?php'. That's an unique feature in the top languages.
> But each dispute has an argument in favor of PHP — it’s easy for beginners. To my mind, this argument isn’t valid anymore, which is exactly what I was trying to say in this article.

It's still is easier AND cheaper to deploy a Hello World in PHP than a Hello World in any other language. You can get a cheap Apache/PHP hosting for $2/month, use SFTP a get a working app in minutes. The default PHP distribution comes with a lot of extensions.

The problem is that PHP doesn't help a beginner graduate from a basic webpage to a secure and robust application without having to download a complex framework and meddle with configuration files. IMHO by the time you are tempted to use Symfony you might switch to Java or ASP.net directly.

If PHP was really beginner oriented, it would actually do everything it could to use the most secure defaults for every feature, like templating, or sessions.

Microsoft attempted to do that with WebPages, which is kinda what PHP should have been if it was really intended for beginners. WebPages mostly use secure defaults. While it doesn't prevent spaghetti code it makes having to rely on a complex framework unnecessary.

Moving not because I don't respect the opportunities in the US, or that the country has treated me so badly that I wanna escape and go somewhere. But because I had to make a choice between settling down in the USA vs settling down in Denmark. Current political climate and the prospects of this administration didn't do much to convince me that USA was any better.

If anything, I'm thankful to the USA for many things in the last 6 years I lived here. Most of it for the awesome friends I made here. But, my Visa always reminded me that I'm just a visitor, and the ~10 year wait for a green card doesn't really make the USA attractive to me anymore.

That's the thing that gave me pause. Is that really a question that should be asked? If you're a manager you don't need to know your teams skills well do you? You just need to be a good manager, which is a skill, isn't it? So it seems like if someone is asking that question, maybe that's not a good sign.

I think most of the people doing research on statistics now are Bayesians, but I think many practitioners still use the old methods because that is what they learned in school and they are still being taught as a result of inertia.

I think the teaching of statistics has often been wrong minded in a number of ways. I am not a professional statistician, but I know enough about it to know what I don't know, so I have a strong preference for nonparametric methods because these are more foolproof than the typical methods that assume gaussian distributions.

Generally I would agree with you, but I think it should be taken with a grain of salt. "Hello World" is somewhat metaphorical concept, the ultimate goal isn't to show the label itself, but to show what is the amount of work required to produce some generic output without any business-logic involved. This means that it totally makes sense to use OpenGL or ncurses to show "Hello world" on the screen, even though they are obviously not necessary to do just that. It's just that they will be necessary for many other typical tasks we are considering.

So, although I wouldn't really chose tools author choses here, so the "not-really-a-joke joke" is still largely opinionated, I have to admit that assuming AJAX and some kind of MVC-ish framework (even if it's a one of your own) on both back-end and front-end is pretty much a must for a typical PHP web-application.

The job of a manager is to direct individuals to produce artifacts and integrate them into a coherent product. The artifacts workers produce are either about the work (assembly line, inspection), or they are the work (the sql, classes, functions, objects, scripts, images, and markup that constitute the body of a working distributed application). The software body, of course, works within the context of the runtime, which is usually a distributed, heterogenous process graph connected by well known if equally diverse protocols. And this doesn't touch the tools that you need to know (in all their variety), the technical/human processes that help move things along, the extra runtimes you need to produce real software (e.g. qa, staging), or procedures for deploying, troubleshooting, and improving running software.

This is a very large amount of knowledge, on top of the core data/algorithms classical CS education, and it grows even larger when you consider the full breadth of alternatives when it comes time to structure, build, and operate a real-world application.

Requiring Photoshop skill of a Sr. Dev is an organizational code smell. Properly, that role has much bigger fish to fry.

Started an addiction clinic (outpatient) and I'm pretty convinced it's a great model for large populations. It's not for everyone initially - you may need more attention than weekly/bi-weekly visits to a treatment center, but we've seen more than half remain in treatment.

Of that group that stays in treatment, more than half got jobs (almost all without our help, although we're starting to help now). Focusing on rebuilding your life while on Suboxone, while having access to mental health professionals (doctors, counselors, therapists) is working.

Open 6 months, we're growing fast and hope to help everyone we can. Only one in our city who accepts insurance without a waiting list, and we do that exclusively (no self pay).

Much depends on the type of consulting. I do legal stuff, mostly compliance and privacy issues. Hypothetically, if someone asked me which cloud service best complied with a new EU data directive I would recommend one. I might be wrong. Maybe that cloud wasn't the best. Everyone makes mistakes. But if i make that mistake and my client finds out I was taking a kickback from the cloud I recommended, then it doesn't look like a simple mistake. Now it is negligence. That sort of consulting is different than more technical work where the real issue is whether a recommended service or product functions as expected.

A common request of me is to recommend a pen-testing or scanning service (pci, iso, dfars and such). I often write out requirements and even negotiate pricing for such clients. Any kickback whatsoever would be a disservice.

They removed any kind of help getting out of the hole here from supervised injection sites because the addicts here have a drug taking union and claimed it shamed drug users implying they had a problem. They claim the problem is prohibition, and that's why they need a safe injection site in the first place because quality of drugs cannot be determined so they're forced to shoot up there to not die from synthetic adulterated heroin.

Legalized drugs would absolutely deprive criminals of domestic profits but there would still be gangs that export and fight over that black market. For example large amounts of marijuana in Canada ends up exported to Vietnam and sold at every newspaper stand in Hanoi for premium prices to the new middle class users there. The various gangs shoot each other here on a regular basis for control of that export operation or rob legal grows to get free product. In other words large amounts of money will have to go to export prevention enforcement.

The best argument for legalized/regulated narcotics is it prevents this kind of synthetic opioid medical disaster by either prescribing heroin to addicts or selling it without prohibition price spikes due to busts, so the incentive to import cheaper synthetics is gone and drug quality could be more easily identified by the end user. The income from any sales can go to treatment to prevent new addicts but many of us remember having been promised by governments who run gambling/lotteries how that money would go towards gambling addiction treatment and instead it just disappeared into general revenue.
In the long run, we'll all be in the cloud. But in the long run we're all dead. Between now and the long-run, there's lots of money to be made on-prem.

Databricks announced at the Spark Summit East '17 that they had over 400 customers. That's just a fraction of Cloudera's numbers. I guess on-prem can also get higher ARR than in the cloud right now. Cloudera will probably buy their way to the cloud.

> Government restricts access to many things for safety reasons

By making drugs illegal you cut off reliable, safe, and inexpensive access.

I personally know two addicts who OD'd because they acquired a batch of heroin that was more potent than they realized. One had been in and out of jail due to drugs.

They'd likely be alive today if addiction was treated as a disease rather than a crime.

> Maybe I'd be even better without the drug.

They didn't want to be addicts.
We can't have fun anymore. Web dev is serious business.

By the way. What are the obstacles for new ISPs in the US? Is it municipality-related issues (cities disallow building any new networking infrastructure and no fibers/lambdas available for rent, or availabe only at prohibitive prices), or peering issues (peering prices are impossible or no one even wants to accept you as a peer unless you're a big telco) or something else?

I just worked for about ten years for various ISP companies in Russia (in a relatively small town), including one "start-up" ISP where I was a first and only software engineer until we had grown up. While I haven't dealt with actual physical aspect, or legal issues, I had an impression that white things were sort of unpleasant, it wasn't prohibitive. So, curious how things are in US and why there are regions with almost monopolistic ISPs. Thought US must've had a freer market than our post-USSR legacy with all the licensing and regulations.
Pretty sure that's a terrible idea.

Like the law or not, that's who your nation voted for, and the government has the power to make life very difficult for corporations.

Also, let's be real here. The travel ban doesn't affect these SV companies. How many employees are going to be coming from Syria, Iran or Yemen?. Are the positive optics worth the difficulties? The public is already weary of corporations becoming too powerful, this will only feed into that distrust, and possibly alienate ~50% of the population.

Political statements in either direction are almost always a losing proposition for corporations.
