Sports is ultimately about making the masses happy. It involves making it look so that the victory or loss is based on athlete's performance, and not on how good (and expensive) support the athlete has. So they have to ban things that are improving things too much beyond current average.

I don't like it, and it's one of the many reasons I'm not really into sports. I think there is a place for a different set of competitions - those, in which rules would not just allow, but encourage pushing the limits of technology. The bicycle race I'd love to watch would involve a electric-motor-propelled bike competing with a rocket-propelled one. Etc.
This may not even be relevant, so long as businesses are applying the same metrics to all their employees - in this case hours spent at work - and compensating them fairly according to those metrics.

The precision with which it can be done.
Nice concept!

A missing area is identity management. Most likely this should be separated from your system (e.g. don't have a table somewhere with username, password in it).

In consumer facing systems, OpenID Connect (better) as practiced by Google, OAuth is used by most others.

In enterprise software, SAML is the common parlance.

That leads naturally to questions about API authorization (are API calls made on behalf of system users? If not, start probing further).

Always enlightening to start asking questions about identity management very early on in designing systems.
Firefox Android.

Personally, I see it leading to awesome technological inventions, and pretty cool advancements in everything from propulsion to material science to medicine.

But then again, for me, normal sport is boring.

I travel often, and I don't have internet access in every country. If we consider internet prices are higher than SMS prices while you're in roaming, this is much better for me. Moreover, I'm active user of Uber.

Moreover, if we can see that most of the people doesn't have access to the Internet. However, they have access to 2G network, which is enough to send and receive SMS messages. My app already have active users from countries such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, etc.

The next goal is to give internet access to internet-restricted countries! Let's connect the world.
While it looks like there will be turbines on/around this island hub, it's primarily a hub for distributing power from geographically disparate wind farms to North Sea countries. The island itself isn't so much for localized generation.

Turbine spacing would in any case be no different from other offshore wind farms. There's a lot of interesting CFD modeling that goes into optimizing wind farm layout given the prevailing atmospheric conditions. Rule-of-thumb though is 7-10 rotor diameters between turbines to limit the shadow effect.
It's an ethical distinction for some. I am completely fine with a type of captcha that helps improve some public domain or free/libre licensed resource (e.g., proofreading words scanned from public domain works). I am not okay with helping some megacorporation sanitize their proprietary database or training their machine learning neural networks for free.

As mentioned elsewhere in this topic; I'd much rather spend some of my free time to help improve OpenStreetMap (and I do).

It's effectively a version number. SpaceX have been quite inconsistent in how they've named their rocket versions, with Falcon 9 v1.0, 1.1, 1.2, Full Thrust, another upgrade that didn't get a name (informally called Fuller Thrust), and Block 5. Perhaps Elon is just messing with us. Effectively Block 5 is supposed to be the last iteration of the Falcon 9, with a slight performance increase and a lot of improvements to reusability, mostly from what was learned from the landed cores.

Don't worry about Python 2.x vs 3.x here. Under the hood there's not a great deal of difference in the areas that this course covers. The "dis" module is as useful as ever, all python objects will still be of type (PyObject *), the main execution loop is still there, the concept of frames is relevant still, etc.

The lectures are very interesting and if you have a spare evening it's possible to just blast through the first 3 or 4 without sweating too much.
The funny thing is that the author of this article is a former (longtime) investment banker. I found the line where he describes the lack of liquidity in private shares "falls especially hard on early investors who are not company employees, those so-called 'series A' or 'series B' venture-capital investors" especially amusing. As if we are supposed to feel more sorry for VCs who are diversified in many investments than employees who aren't.

i have generally seen that a piece of software that is built for self-deployment is not optimized for scalability. in fact, optimizing for scalability screws around with ease of deployment.

It will be interesting to see you pull this off if you are indeed thinking of making your software dual purpose - self deploy as well run a scaleable/fault-tolerant hosting company.

Maybe I got a bad one then, but I was not real impressed with mine.

1.) Keyboard constantly flakes out and stops working - or the keyboard and touchpad works, but the touch screen stops working.

2.) Extremely limited software choices. You're stuck with whatever small subset of the garbage in the Windows Store was cross-compiled for Windows RT. Stuck with IE, no options to get Chrome or Firefox or something that works a little better.

3.) Extremely anemic performance. Mine chokes and dies trying to read email (in the godawful Metro Mail app) and browse the ticketing webapp that my company uses.

4.) Suffers the brunt of the awful Windows 8 Metro UI design changes.

5.) The operating system is effectively dead in the water, and won't be getting updates.

6.) Microsoft took a $900 million write-down on the product[1].

Abstractions are different to metaphors. You can have an abstraction with a name 'x' that you can use to send messages over an SMTP server. The metaphor could be "mailer", "mailbox", "email sender", "postman" or many other different things with subtly different implications.

Moreover, the "basic library" creation step that you allude to the point where you decide where the borders between different modules of code lie. Creating those borders at the appropriate point - deciding the coupling - is arguably the most important part of refactoring and the part (I) have found hardest to clean up in legacy code. I am currently rewriting a library which in retrospect I now realize should have been two libraries.

"You cannot write a terse function with high coupling"

Oh, you absolutely can. In fact, after a certain point terseness tends to correlate with higher coupling. There is often a trade off to be made between coupling one block of code to another (e.g. introducing a dependency) and sacrificing terseness.

Not only they are humans (homo neanderthalensis vs homo sapiens, but both homo) but there are traces of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans, since there was interbreading among them. So, no wonder they are comparable to us, since they are not that much different than us on evolutionary timescale.
Check out glassdoor as they have thousands of companies listed with reviews by current and ex employees. Take the reviews with a pinch of salt as you can imagine that someone who got fired might not be in the best mindset to leave a review ;)

Oh dynamically setting class isn't silly, but the times i accidentally removed the 'unused' style because it's not explicitly coded into that app and was flagged by the tool, I felt pretty silly!

I got as far as starting to build us a tool to traverse our raw jsx to identify these programmatically generated classes, but my implementation was a bit flakey for various reasons and required too much config to make it worthwhile so I binned it off.
I agree, it's a hard problem. Perhaps run a test-suite with UnCSS? If you still accidentally strip styles then the test-suite is not complete.

There are disparities in pay and representation between men and women in the tech industry, favouring men. Are we then to work to create parity in pay and representation between men and women in the fastest possible way? Some people say yes. Some people say companies need to immediately go out of their way to hire more women, hire a more racially diverse staff and carefully calibrate their pay so that, ideally, your company diversity is a reflection of the diversity of the country you're in. But to me this seems really really wrong. Is it because I'm bigoted? Maybe. I don't think it's just that though, I honestly think its a really unfair approach, my own regrettable biases aside. To do that to tech would be unfair to many people, and also, would only be because tech is lucrative.

Yes, but how much of that is because there isn't anything to launch them? When Falcon Heavy is up and running, a commercially feasible option will exist for the first time. Maybe that'll change, and we'll start seeing things in space that weren't commercially feasible before.
That's awesome. I want to do that.

It'd be interesting to measure the gas composition inside the chamber --- although I suspect the bodging together a gas spectrometer is going to be a bit problematic.

This all at at one atmosphere, though, isn't it? I see you have a vacuum pump, but that enclosure doesn't look like it'd be safe to evacuate. I'd like to try low pressures. Intuitively I'd expect hard-skinned plants like cactuses to cope better --- but intuition is frequently wrong. Another interesting thing to try would be to use one atmosphere of absolute pressure but have accurate partial pressures of carbon dioxide and nitrogen to simulate the Martian atmosphere...

The opposite is still very much the case. 64-bit desktop processors only started selling when a version capable of running 32-bit Windows became available (and not from Intel, who was putting all their eggs on Itanium) and only took off after a 64-bit version of Windows for them was released.

For what it's worth, permanganate is an extremely strong oxidizer (probably the second strongest stable solid oxidant known, after persulfate), but at neutral pH it is unable to oxidize chloride to hypochlorite and beyond. (The electrode potentials are too close, and anyways the maganese dioxide byproduct turns hypochlorite to chloride and oxygen.) Instead of reacting with a reducing agent in water, (the main possibilities are simple organics and ferrous iron, and these turn to carbon dioxide or insoluble ferric oxide [sidenote: this is why permanganate is added to water in the first place]) permanganate tends to break down to oxygen and manganese dioxide, which settles out.
It's awesome how it can maintain the image layout in the source code through those 100 transformations.

I wonder whether it reads its own source code file to detect where to put the spaces for the image, or is it all encoded as data in the ruby program itself? I suppose it's the latter (otherwise it wouldn't qualify as a quine), but I can't figure out how it is encoded.
Living Australia, I had seen money change owners among friends literally dozens of times. Not huge sums ($500-$3,000), but big enough to matter in mid-20s. It felt normal at the time, though in retrospect I can see that most of our families were poor and we had nowhere else to turn save for other young professionals. I'm not sure if that was due to co-dependence or friendship, nor if there is much difference between the two.
I agree - this basically gives you enough information to bootstrap your own learning about the CPython internals. I feel like all companies/projects should have a similar intro which gives new-joiners enough information that they can figure out most things themselves without too much pain, and without spoon-feeding too much.

When President Bush piloted his No Child Left Behind act, one of the underlying goals was to close racial and class
gaps in educational standards, therefore, improving opportunity for disadvantaged groups but not guaranteeing ideal results.

Justice Clarence Thomas, the only current black Supreme Court judge, took a strong stance against race‐based affirmative action as it establishes “a cult of victimization” that permeates leniency on and faulty judgment of black students and workers in admissions and employment processes.

He believes this strengthens stereotypes and requires special, preferential treatment of the black community in order to make up for past oppression.

...

This sentiment is spreading, and a continual decline in academic achievement of black students
will most certainly propel these sentiments throughout the country. The American Civil Rights
Institute founder, Ward Connerly [who's african american], said he is “not against policies that address ongoing
disparities in income, educational opportunities or other factors, but they should not be race
based.” Policy reform is now addressing the achievement gap between black and white
students in hopes that solving the underlying issue between black underachievement will lead
to natural, unregulated increase in black enrollment in universities and, ultimately,
employment.

This is already theoretically solvable with CSS Modules. Because you 'statically' import your CSS (class names) as an object, which can't/shouldn't change after build, you could run an analyser to remove any unused classes from the stylesheets. Essentially tree shaking for CSS.
