If you are unhappy working in tech, what makes you think you will be happy working in another sector? You need to find the underlying reason why you are happy and address it. It could be the people, the culture, working on a product you don't believe, working with tech you don't like. Maybe you like C++ but work with PHP, or vice versa. Maybe you like DB but find yourself doing sysadmin. "Everything is tech" these days, I don't believe it's tech that's making you unhappy, there is something deeper and if you don't figure it out, you most likely will find yourself more disappointed down the line. Best of luck.

Origins of JavaScript, or ECMAscript – from 1997 to 2017 and beyond
The display used on the OLPC was a bit different -- RGBG matrix when backlit, 2x resolution black-and-white when unlit.

You used to be able to buy the displays standalone from Pixel Qi, but the company folded in 2015. There is a successor company, but it's not clear whether they're actually producing the displays anymore, or if they're just selling off existing stock.
A workaround for people who would like to eat ground meat but avoid this issue is to grind it yourself, or to buy steak and have the butcher grind it for you.
Yeah but that would affect profits. Much better to just rough the self-loading cargo up a bit and drag it off the plane. /s
The "formula for success" appears to be: study. Is that concept so alien if you're not a "rich kid"?

Now, don't get me wrong: there's a clear disconnect in ability and means to prep. Even though there are cheap or free prep courses or materials, many won't be able to dedicate—for example—the time to cram or take Sunday classes an hour away due to jobs or family commitments.
I smoke whole birds including turkeys in my Big Green Egg. When doing a whole bird - breasts get to temp much quicker so you can put ice packs on the breasts before you cook to try and get all parts to hit ~160 degrees at the same time. I don't turn it at all, I use a Sittin Turkey/Chicken ceramic holder to keep the bird upright and moist from the liquid inside.

You probably don't have room in your oven to do a turkey upright but it works well on a grill and you can easily do a whole chicken upright in the oven. You can pour beer or other liquid and spices into the center of it to keep it moist. It's just a better beer can chicken. Highly recommend.

Good suggestion on turning in oven though if you aren't upright - less is more. Same with steaks and burgers.
> But it is my understanding that the more restrictions you put in the circulation of capital, the further away you go from the capitalistic model and the closer you get to the socialist one.

Restrictions and regulations are in no way automatically "socialist". Something being less laissez faire doesn't inherently make it socialist. Socialism doesn't just mean "not free market capitalism".
How.. beautiful.

Like I said earlier in the "half-dead chicken thread", the occult is a quiet and powerful force in computer science and related areas. With things like neural networks and learning functions, we're approaching the ultimate.

In this case, it was only a handful of lines of a functional language that could solve the N-Queens problem.. Of course, mixed with a bit of Lovecraftian lore and Norse magic.

It's only a careful look beneath the stolid atheism and antitheism that the tech community likes to front.. All is not as it appears just beneath the digital waves, is it?

Huh, I'm surprised Apache is still so high? Are there huge hosting sites that use it or something? Wordpress?

I (and I know no one) who has reached for Apache over NGINX in a decade.
I'm not sure what your point is with bashing on creative indie games. Are all of them amazing? Obviously not. Are there some really bad ones in there? Sure. But I would never even dream of getting rid of em.

The democratization of gamedev tools was the best thing to ever happen to gaming. Yes, it also brought a sea of low hanging games, but at the same time, there is more variety and original ideas as ever.

Sure, those games may not be traditional "solve a puzzle" or "kill all the monsters", but trying to lock video games to such a narrow focus is silly. Video games are a very rich and powerful medium, and we still are discovering brand new genres, tropes and mechanics every year, most of them born out of small experimental games. Minecraft being one of them.
Most shares are owned by funds, often stable funds that don't want to rock the boat, whose shareholders don't particularly care about individual companies. Most individuals don't tend to own enough stock in a company to matter.

And partly it's a self-fulfilling prophecy: if you disagreed strongly with the board, you'd be less likely to hold stock in the company in the first place, unless you're in the rare position of owning enough of it to affect decision-making.
IIRC this is part of why modern credential management stores provide one-time-use tokens for certain services. You can provide the same with quick hacks, it just takes more hacking.

There are more people on earth than, say, kings. That's true, even though I can't enumerate all non-kings, and even if the set of non-kings is somehow ill-defined.
That's probably because there is a not-unreasonable expectation that the situations the police are called out for will involve deadly weapons.

Obviously not the case here, but in general, when anyone could realistically be carrying a gun, I don't think the current situation is a big surprise.
> What would a cure for prion diseases even look like?

Well, I mean, in some way the prion behaves differently than its normal counterpart. A molecule that interacted with that in such a way as to destroy the prion would seem to be a cure, right? At least, if not otherwise too harmful...
You have a very naive way of looking at the world if you think United had no role in this officer's actions.
An Italian I used to work with maintained a small shrine to Ada Lovelace on his desk.
TL;DR;
Go promisses interpreted language developer productivity with C-like performance of the code and it delivers.

Longer version:

- I've been writing almost exclusively Go code as my full time job for the last 2.5 years

- I've coded in Python and PHP full time before - each at least as long as Go (and neither of them was my first or second programming language)

- I was able to pick up Go significantly faster than either of the two (0 to push to production in less than 2 weeks)

- I'm at least as productive (measured in problems solved / features delivered in unit of time) in Go as I was in Python

- standard library is great and very often replaces the need for 3rd party libraries (performant, production ready HTTP server for example) and makes dependencies "flatter"

- deployment of a single static binary vs virtualenv hell (pre-docker) is bliss

- it's actually very fast for free - you'll start worrying about (and start spending time on) performance way later

Negatives:
- dependency management is bad

From web app/api perspective:

- just using http server from standard library gives you concurency go is known for - each request is a goroutine which is cheap: minimal overhead

- you can delay worring about performance (at least from the app part - not db obviously) more. It's easier to throw hardware at the problem when you need 1/10 of the hardware

- deployment is easy - single static binary that just works

- multiple CPU cores are simply used: you don't have to run multiple processes (node)

- http server in standard library is production ready: no need to stick it behind something else

- you get all that without sacrificing productivity
In addition to everything else you said, one small addendum to make.

>I think one major factor that the article didn't mention, is that Malls are overpriced

Even at "fair prices" - outside of clothing... why would I go to a mall instead of order online? (FWIW, I order my clothes online too since my size hasn't changed in years.)

I have zero reason to go to a crowded mall, deal with people window shopping/being slow in front of me, etc. when I can buy my things online and get them in a few days.
Ah, the PSAT. Because one high-pressure standardized test isn't enough.
probably not. acid on blotter paper was originally from acid in solution. the blotter is usually made by pre-measuring an amount of solution that contains the target dose (measured by titration), and then using the blotter to soak up all of the measured out solution. capillary action should lead to even distribution of active compounds throughout the blotter.

1. Given any two real numbers on the real number line, you can find another real number between those two points.

2. The Planck length is the smallest unit of distance with any meaning.

3. The universe has finite diameter.

Discuss.

4. For extra credit: Given 2 and 3, above, it follows that both the diameter and circumference of the universe can be expressed in Planck lengths as integers with a finite number of digits. Discuss the concept that Pi is a ratio of two finite integers.
Down at the moment.
So I reckon Docker & PHP7/HHVM have contributed for sure. So much easier deploying Nginx - not to mention just plain nicer.
The part of the CoC I read this morning (linked in another comment), after making the above comment, sounds like the rules for removing a passenger are independent of boarding.

Even the so called "walking simulators" have grown to be a powerful genre with games such as Firewatch, or even more extreme story games such as Her Story.

Dismissing these games just because they're not conventional "games" is insanely stupid. Video game are an insanely powerful medium for story telling, and limiting yourself to one narrow subset is just a shame.
As Lang used to say the Axiom Of Choice is obvious, 'I just pick the elements'. Just kidding, thanks for this interesting logical point.
The author of this paper is Gregory Chaitin of Chaitin's constant fame, among other things (I didn't know that Kolmogorov complexity is also known as Chaitin-Kolmogorov complexity!)
I think "serious" here means "expected to have any chance of being accepted."
My example is incomplete, not faulty. I left it as a question (does the inf belong to the set?). If the answer is yes, we reached a contradiction. If the answer is no, we have to continue further zooming in to this interval (or some other construction along those lines).

See, I claim that this set is ill-defined, so I can't know its properties like whether or not it's dense, open, closed, Borel-measurable, etc. etc.

You have to tell me what its properties are, and I will come up with a concrete proof that the set in question is ill-defined.

EDIT: After I RTFA'd, this is actually the paradox in section 2.3 of the linked article
Yea--I noticed the same thing. I'm wondering if it would be different if I had a device I could write on, but not buying anymore readers, at least for awhile.

I can bring up parts of a book page in my mind, but I don't think I can do it with electronic readers. I'm not sure, because I haven't been in school for awhile, or needed to bring up something for a test.

When I was in school, I had a hard time memorizing. I started taking notes differently, my recall increased dramatically.

I would doodle on every page. Every page of notes was only written once, and I never re-copied. I tried to make every page a picture. My text books were filled with doodles, and pictures in the margins.

It really helped me.

Now--my books are just taking up too much room. I hate to get rid of them, but might have too. There was a time where I could get any book on the Internet. Those days are gone.

I'm not a big reader either. My books are just reference, but have value to me. I know it's crazy.
And here I am in Argentina; getting into a public university, without having to pay, take exams or even have a good GPA in High School.

How expensive and competitive education is in the USA seems so alien to me; I wonder if it's really worth it. The only apparent benefit is networking and I'd dare say that only matters in Finance/Law. Am I really that screwed if I want to work at Google/Amazon/Whatever and I haven't graduated from MIT or Stanford?
The proof of the reals being uncountable depends on the idea that one can build a number that depends on being able to make an infinite number of choices, each of which depends on the absolute truth or falseness of a statement.

But what happens if we open it up to have statements be true, false, or currently unknown? That is we develop a system of mathematics that could be in principle done inside of a Turing machine?

Then Cantor's diagonalization argument falls apart because of all of those "currently unknown" options. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13843725 for a previous explanation that I gave of this.
The lack of HTTP/2 on the backend to origin connections is a big sad mystery.

If anything it would greatly increase performance, especially for smaller servers and longer distances, with the multiplexing and stream priority settings alone. Required TLS would also increase security.
I've heard of hand trimming before but never seen it. This technique uses a hand file to get precise resistance values. Works great on through-hole parts, didn't work at all on surface mount parts.
Yeah highly configurable, full-featured http(s) servers expandable with modules are TOTALLY different.
Still not sure I follow. Set of non-kings is not ill-defined, not in the same way as set of numbers non-describable by any formal system is.
I don't think any of your questions are relevant. He has expressed protecting his employees and he protects his work contracts. That's his job. If an employee cares more about getting his/her way than serving the customer, the manager has the right to not put up with that. And that has nothing to do with how technical either of them are.
this is how science is done, actually. James Fadiman is collecting data[0] (that's the plural of anecdote) so the useful knowledge gained by the self-experimenters isn't lost and the rest of us can benefit from it. were you under the impression that new knowledge must only be generated by studies approved by the federal government?

Studying with that kind of intensity certainly is. For most kids "studying for the SAT" means doing 1 or 2 practice tests on a lazy Saturday.
Probably better, actually. (But that's just a guess.)
I like the idea of encoding answers to all questions, or for that matter all books written so far (or both, while we're at it), in one real number between 0 and 1. My favourite number, really.
People always rave over the mac trackpads and they seem nice whenever I use them but I generally don't have the problems with windows trackpads so it's not a big deal to me. The main thing I've noticed is that multi-touch gestures seem to work better on a mac
Beretta, who currently supplies the standard issue M9A1 handgun for the US Marine Corps, considers their military sales to be approximately 2% of total gross, so they're definitely doing more in civilian sales than military.

I would say so far, yes. I would say it's pretty "mainstream" already with many companies using it in production, including Mozilla.

As big as C++/C? Too early to tell for that.

(ClickHouse dev here)

Yes, replication in ClickHouse is asynchronous by default. For intended use cases (OLAP queries aggregating data from many rows) data that is a few seconds stale is usually okay. In a serious production deployment you absolutely should enable replication, otherwise you risk losing all your data, not just last couple of seconds of inserts.

That said, sometimes synchronous replication is necessary despite the latency penalty that comes with it. This feature is actually implemented but not yet considered ready for prime time.

We have several years of production experience with ClickHouse (as a DBMS powering Yandex.Metrica - second largest web analytics system in the world). If you have questions - just ask.
I feel like this is going to make it into PR textbooks as a perfect example of how not to manage a developing situation.

Right from the pre-boarding request for volunteers yielding no results, to then letting passengers board, to 'randomly' selecting 4 people to 'volunteer' after failing to increase the incentive bounty above $800, to calling in the cops, to patronising responses on Twitter, to refusing to comment when major news outlets get in touch and on to the CEO failing to apologise for the harm to the guy but instead for having to 're-accommodate these customers'.

Nothing about this was handled well but you wouldn't expect it to be because it required a series of damaging institutional/cultural practices to be in place already to let the situation develop in the first place - so the response was always going to be sub-par.
Kinda...if you have work experience from somewhere else you could get into Google. Amazon is a bit more open; you have to put up with their interview crap.
As someone who made his own OS, i feel like this would be an exercise in futility.

Making one is a good learning experience, but you can't keep up with the world completely on your own.

So for it to be worth working on, there should be a non-negligible user and developer base for it.

Based on my experience with United this is corporate culture, rather than 'one bad decision'. A culture that focuses on maximizing profits per transaction with little left for human dignity or compassion - let alone relationship building.

On the bright side, "United breaks guitars" is a really catchy tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo
I don't see the claim that "United had no role in this officer's actions" in anything I wrote.

To be more explicitly, my parent comment is referring to once the airline escalates the situation to police, overriding it is out of their hands as airlines cannot control the police.
WebSockets aren't perfect but they're a lightweight full-duplex protocol that is great for many real-time scenarios. Not being the same as HTTP is the point.
No. There is something of an echo chamber on these subjects. Just learn and work hard.
you're grossly uninformed. homeopathy is diluting something into a totally ineffective concentration. microdosing is diluting something into a concentration that is just barely below the threshold of easily noticeable effects, but well above the threshold of real but subtle effects.
So given their current losses, I think we can agree that at their current revenue - costs the business model isn't sustainable.

We can also agree that these aren't exactly great jobs, and that they provide no benefits.

I don't think your first scenario is likely, where the added costs from driver benefits are passed onto consumers and the business remains successful, given it already isn't successful. I think we can also agree that if uber were to do this they would indeed lose even more money.

So then we're left with your second scenario being most likely, that we add the benefits but that it turns out this simply isn't affordable at all, at which point the company goes under and all these jobs are lost.

At this point, do the drivers somehow find better jobs that they had been passing up this whole time, now that they are relieved of the burden of being forced to work for uber?

I'd contend that the drivers are better off having the option, and that destroying these jobs won't magically create other better jobs that the drivers can then flock to.
No-meat diet is not 100% prion-proof according to Wikipedia:

> When researchers fed hamsters grass that grew on ground where a deer that died with chronic wasting disease (CWD) was buried, the hamsters became ill with CWD, suggesting that prions can bind to plants, which then take them up into the leaf and stem structure, where they can be eaten by herbivores, thus completing the cycle. It is thus possible that there is a progressively accumulating number of prions in the environment.

It does keep rising in popularity, but is that coming from folks actually using system languages like C, C++, Ada, and Forth? I'm guessing only a portion. There's a difference between a web developer using Rust enthusiastically for hobby projects and a seasoned C coder switching to Rust for a professional job. In fact, a lot of the projects I've seen in Rust (ex: Dropbox) are commonly being done in Go as long as the GC isn't an issue.
Honestly schools should offer prep classes.
You are correct in Libya having the highest African GDP per capita before 2011 [1]. Granted, Libya's economy is more similar to its oil-producing peers in the Middle East and North Africa.
