It's absolutely useless anyway unless you're trying to slightly optimize cpu and memory usage for at least hundreds of instance creations. Typically this scenario would be found in libs, not in application code.

I completely ignore this, prototypes, classes, Function.prototype.bind, etc. Code is much cleaner and easy to follow for devs of all skill level.

Also, even if you like these features, var that = this is unneeded if you use a transpiler and have access to the more modern JS constructs like arrow functions.
I honestly don't know why you guys are trying to divine identity based on textual clues like this. It's safe to assume every stylistic and linguistic choice is deliberate.
How to ship production-grade Go
You can detect meddling with your DNS easily with appropriate monitoring scripts. Also, what stops governments to fully replace your domain with their own, including valid certs?

Your argument is at best one against DNS, not DANE. This is not how the internet works today. It works because we (thankfully) can choose from a lot of top level domains, with very different threat levels. If one goes rogue, choose another one.

You've been posting primarily political comments, which is not a valid use of this site. We do ban accounts that continue like this.
Yeah, that page makes a great test suite for defensive-browsing software and extensions. Flashblock and KillSticky were able to parry its opening salvos, but it still managed to sneak in some auto-playing audio.

HTML5 is really no better than Flash, it's just harder to block. We've been sold quite the bill of goods.
I have been unintentionally controversial as hell for a lot of years. I have worked hard at becoming less of a lightning rod for utter shit shows.

In my experience, how you say it matters at least as much, perhaps more so, than your actual point.

You should be trying to bring solutions, not complaints. If the entire point of your blog is to kvetch, then don't make it a "political" blog. Make it clear "this is me bitching into the void." It will be less likely to come back to bite you.

When you bring solutions, be incredibly careful to not point fingers.

The English bible says "The meek shall inherit the earth." My understanding is that the French version says "The nonchalant shall inherit the earth."

Try to be nonchalant. Try to be diplomatic. Try to educate people rather than lecturing them.

Many blogs are just noise anyway. Having big feels about something doesn't guarantee you will have anything of real value to contribute. But if you think you can make a difference, then, there are ways to be more Zen about it.

"If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, it makes no sound. Yet, it falls."
No, in Polish adjectives normally go before nouns, just like in English.
The Dawn of the Sinusoid
In what way was that a promise? The Conservatives clearly intended to hold a referendum (they had campaigned on it in 2010 but weren't able to get support from the Lib Dems) so future membership was already in question - although voting Yes would have meant Scotland's exit anyway.
Hovers Bikes are Coming
A good time to remember the official US Intelligence Community statement and policy/lie on 0days, as given post-heartbleed:

When Federal agencies discover a new vulnerability in commercial
and open source software – a so-called “Zero day” vulnerability
because the developers of the vulnerable software have had zero days
to fix it – it is in the national interest to responsibly
disclose the vulnerability rather than to hold it for an investigative
or intelligence purpose.

Thanks. The number of ads littered throughout the parent is absolutely profane.

>> 24. The method of claim 21, wherein the robot is a humanoid robot and the link comprises a forearm link, an upper arm link, a torso link, a back link, or a chest link.

So a strictly biped robot designed for safe human interaction? Is that what it means for something to be described as humanoid? Not sure when I read lines like these:

>> [0003] The present description relates, in general, to design and control of robots including humanoid robots and other robots adapted for interaction with humans.

>> [0071] Although the invention has been described and illustrated with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example, and that numerous changes in the combination and arrangement of parts can be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as hereinafter claimed.

How is that a "meme"?

I don't know any conservatives but every single leftist I know thinks that russophobia is at absolutely deranged levels, as a vehicle for Clinton apologism.

The idea that "Russia decided the election" is absurd, but repeated often enough, is starting to be taken as truth by those who find it palatable.
You can check that a new certificate was issued for your domain through Certificate Transparency. Maybe if DANE/TLSA certs would also have be submitted to CT logs and browsers required CT that'd provide stronger security that we have now...

Another thing is DNSSEC's reliance on RSA 1024 (did that change?).
> Animated GIFs that showcase the functionality would suffice

Suffice, yes. And yet they are clearly inferior to actually using the widget as it would be used, so why sacrifice that? In the name of possible users that refuse to use Chrome?

I think the number of people that are actually interested in this that do not have a version of Chrome handy already install that they can use and are unwilling to install it to see the functionality of a tool that relies on the functionality of a core component of Chrome is very small. So small, in fact I would be interested to hear from someone that was actually put off from viewing this that was actually in the market to make an Electron app.
Mapping the Secret Lives of Human Cells
Sure. But if that's what you really think, then you don't get to assume that the DNC was hacked "by the Russians". Agreed?
That being unacceptable is based on conditions where owning a car is subsidized by free parking. Remove those subsidies and there would now be a market for more flexible childcare. Your argument amounts to a tautology. A car is necessary under current driving conditions is not the same thing as a car being necessary under any driving conditions. There are many places around the world where most people don't own cars. They still manage to figure out how to raise children, often while being substantially poorer than we are in the states. I'm confident that if we create the right environment that discourages car ownership, we'll figure it out here too.
I like them, assuming I'm using a higher-than-traditional but not "retina"/doubled dpi, such as a 1920×1080 on a 13″ screen.
All of this spy vs spy intrigue makes my head hurt
Women don't negotiate comp as often as men do. They leave money on the table. It's somewhat of an open secret among execs who have managed large teams inside these companies. Absent a cultural shift among women to ask for more (which they should, because they'd get it - and rightfully so as they are doing the same work), there aren't a lot of great solutions to this. Do you narrowly fix comp like law firms do for associates? Do you assign each employee a headhunter to negotiate on their behalf? Each potential solution creates other problems. It's fair to point out that this is a problem outside of tech also, but the rapid growth in salaries in tech, and especially in the Bay Area, have made the disparity more extreme and noticeable.
I've never heard of a joombaga, so we're even.
Good work! An alternative is Dgraph https://dgraph.io/ which I am considering for my next project.
How do you factor out "this" in cases where methods and instance data logically belong together?
That's like, your opinion, man.
Functional connectivity is just temporally correlated neural activation (technically for fmri we are measuring blood oxygenation, but whatever). So we might have regions a, b, c and d, and find that a and b tend to be co-activated, but that c tends to de-activate when a or b are activated, while d's activity is uncorrelated with any of the others. For example, insula and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex are usually positively corellated with each other, but negatively correlated with regions of the default mode network. Modulation just means that the manipulation, in this case modafinil, changed the correlation between neural activation in different brain regions, in this case between cortical regions and the cerebellum.
Believe me, this is no placebo. You feel it when it kicks in. And also dry mouth.
Yeah non-functioning mouse wheel on this machine, scaling of the value is also most likely way off :-(

And basically what I had to do was pick all that up with my hands.

Because England has yet to get up to speed with surgical gloves or similar. They just cannot be found. At all. Sure.

The way this part is written:

Looking at both their ads, some of the rates were about £1,300 a night. So if they were fully booked for the two nights that's £2,600 each - £5,200 in total.

The feeling was a bit like when I had to rush home from work a couple of years ago because I thought I'd left a tea towel on the hob. It felt like the place was burning down.

This reads to me like he was basically horrified at the idea of two women making excellent money, probably a lot more than he makes. That is how that part reads to me.
In my hometown's downtown we have large parking towers that provide parking at fairly cheap rates. In the city owned one, the first hour is free. It's actually a lot more convenient than hunting for parking at area X, hoping there is street side parking or a parking lot. We also get a walkable downtown as a result too.

So instead of requiring a business to have parking, ban the creation of parking and mandate the creation of parking towers or lots financed by business property taxes instead. You get denser, nicer downtowns as a result. You can similarly socialize parking in less dense areas by banning business from having free parking lots and making a few city ones instead.
This is great. I'm going to play around with it for an Elixir project.

I'd just like to say I found the homepage did a very good job of explaining the product. Good screenshots and well written summaries of each feature/benefit.

Edit: seconding the call for documentation. Also maybe a link to Getting Started at the top, that's seems like where I'd start vs downloading a .tar.gz without instructions.
Anandtech breaks down Microsoft Xbox Scorpio specs
I wonder what this is for: https://github.com/x0rz/EQGRP/blob/master/Linux/bin/strangeF...

It looks like it's searching for files/directories with unusual names (like ". ") that system administrators wouldn't normally notice.
Discriminators might get punished by the market, but that's no reason that they shouldn't also get punished by the law too.

They shouldn't get away with illegally discriminating just because they are also making themselves less competitive.
If you're completely getting rid of "this" references then you're probably following a functional style and will keep data and functions separate, passing pure data as arguments rather than combining data and functions into classes.
There is a lot of regulation preventing people from making their own public transport. Things like taxi medallions and a ban on dollar van lines.

Something that baffles me is that if you take the position that we should select for healthy genes and not put resources into persisting unhealthy ones, it's "bad" because that's "eugenics". But at the same time, the people who spend $200K to get therapy like this are doing it for the sole purpose of persisting their own genome. If that wasn't true, they'd just adopt or raise foster children.
If you add "var that = this;" to printName function the printNameReference still doesn't work.

- will have a painful wifi setup (the list of SSID don't refresh unless you close it, then go 2 menus down to restart it)

- will have a painful bluetooth setup (the menu doesn't even appear if it's off)

- will be confused when trying to minimised two windows to put side by side now that the icon is gone;

- will try to look for the button to put the laptop to sleep and look at you with the eye of a sad puppy;

- will see a lot a spaces wasted compared to unity because of the windows bar being back and huge;

- will look for their app tray icons (now at the bottom left);

- will activate the hot corner by mistake.

I use myself 15 addons to make gnome-shell usable, and you can't expect the average user to do that.

Gnome shell is still experimental. Not from a technical point of view, but from an ergonomic point of view.
Is there any reason not to use IPSec instead of TLS?
Not using ASN.1 is a massive improvement. ASN.1 is turing complete. That means you cannot computationally decide if two certificates are equivilent, assuming advanced enough fuckery.

This is very very bad.

ASN.1 (which is also used in x509) is a catastrophicly awful format for encoding certificates or other crypto operations, and is the direct cause of a huge amount of SSL/TLS security issues.
From the top of my head, Edge is missing: Shadow DOM, Custom Element, HTML Imports, Web Animations, CSS custom properties and CSS path data ("d") property .

In the longer run I'm planning to replace HTML Imports with ES.next modules, so it's temporary dependency.
Presenter argues that the usual choices when looking for a new solution are buy, build, or use open source - but never covers what the cost of open source would be in the presentation.

They then go on to say how Uber has been exploring how to engage with early stage startups to bring new product features, and cause slight roadmap pivots, to address Uber’s security needs. The results for Uber were cost effective, time efficient, and have created a better product for everyone.

Slide 20 shows the cost for build, buy, or parter:

We have Elasticsearch as a generic document search engine, each document has a non-trivial amount of properties (let's say 50 or so). It's incredibly performant for all sort of searches, the details of each of which this solution wasn't specifically designed for, hence me calling it a generic search engine. Every time I contemplate of bringing graph relationships, that exist between these documents, into the mix, I get stuck. Elasticsearch doesn't quite do graph (natively), but the graph databases I tried don't do properties too well (OrientDB, Neo4J). I'm not talking about one or two properties, but multiple properties across multiple hops in the graph that I envision querying for. Let alone full text searches. I emailed back and forth with the helpful folks at Orient, but it always came down to optimising for specific queries, gone the "generic". Is anyone solving that problem? Cayley?
The comments on the article point out the differences between emotional vs intellectual intelligence.
1) Either use a functional style like
beaconstudios said where it's perfectly normal to separate the data and the processing.

2) Or if you want to keep an OO style, use the module pattern with private functions closing over the data.
Gov's Gender Pay Case Against Google Is About Definition of Pay Discrimination
Are you able to elaborate on how this case is related to the DNC hacks? ShadowBrokers was never accused of being the same as Guccifer2, as far as I understand.
You must live in the south bay. People in SF use public transport quite a bit and I commute in using BART every day.

Caltrain is pretty horrible schedule wise.
Physics is deterministic in states and always tends towards an equilibrium, so novel results from DL may still fit some continuum math model without being stable or even real. Domain expertise, on the other hand, helps prepare data for ML algos in such a way that results will come (or not) within the boundaries of reality and hopefully stability. I am trying both approaches for some materials science goals of mine and am curious to see what happens, now that powerful hardware is cheap enough on the cloud to put some ideas to work. Side point is all this was just impossible five years ago, so I am grateful and excited to have this opportunity.
If you steal the hash from the database, yes. I don't know how stealing the hash over-the-wire is equivalent to having the password, since it is salted (with a salt generated by the server) and is not reusable.
> Anyone referencing European public transportation should realize that over half the countries in Europe are smaller than the state of Iowa, and none of them save Russia & Turkey are larger than Texas. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Completely irrelevant. Nobody is talking about providing public transit for rural Texas. The important factor is density on a local scale, not overall size.
We need to convince people to stop having kids, too. Then we can have our public transportation utopia.
That's a terrible analysis, I'm not from the US and know all of the above and would abbreviate NYT. I'm not hugely into US politics but I'm not ignorant of it either. Hell the BBC, Der Spiegel and Le Monde all covered Bannon losing his NSC seat.
> if that's what you really think, then you don't get to assume that the DNC was hacked "by the Russians". Agreed?

Are you saying there's some letter written in broken english that's being used as proof of Russian involvement in the DNC hacks?
Ymmv but in my experience the headaches can be avoided by drinking lots of water and the tremors may be a sign that you took too high a dose for your tolerance level. If I've not taken modafinil in a few weeks then a 200mg tablet can sometimes leave me with tremors and mild anxiety.
you are so much better off if you can avoid using this when writing js.

Although you're joking, Perl was invented to make an NSA project easier to develop. That project was first, high-assurance VPN: BLACKER. It was also NSA's attempt to do something secure for once since they lost the argument to INFOSEC co-founder, Roger Schell, where they thought only communications security, not computer security, mattered. They contracted it to TRW who made a lot of secure stuff & government systems in general back then. Larry Walls was a smart, properly-lazy programmer working at TRW who wanted to make irritating parts of his job easier with better tools. The resulting tool, PERL, had much more impact than BLACKER VPN. ;)

Whereas, the NSA's project failed initially because the team couldn't design a security kernel that had great security and acceptable performance. Told NSA they'd have to pick one. Schell told NSA he knew a guy with a design, GEMSOS, with both properties. NSA reluctantly used GEMSOS in BLACKER. The first, highly-secure VPN w/ general-purpose kernel was born. Who knows what the deployment or usability side of it was, though. Classification rules kept them from publishing on it for a decade or so where it then got paywalled. Classification is probably why Larry Walls didn't say much about BLACKER when describing its history. At least ones I read.

Why would the value of their property go down? Apple's new headquarters has 318k ft^2 of office space and 325k ft^2 of legally required parking spaces. If Apple could flexibly choose what they wanted to do with their land, they could use their land in more useful ways, making it more valuable to them.
Do you have a pointer to that variable, code or doc? A web search didn't return anything obvious.

Sometimes you can end up with energy debt after modafinil - if you get a lot done while wired you may find yourself exhausted after it wears off.
Anecdotally based on using it for shift-work sleep disorder (falling asleep on the job), but you definitely, definitely do not mistake it for anything else.

You know how you get "tired", and want to take a break? Still happens.

You know how you get "sleepy" and can't keep your eyes open? That's completely gone. It's a very strange feeling.
Could this problem be fixed by splitting the NSA into two competing agencies, one handling offensive signals intelligence, and one handling cryptography research and disclosures?

Intuitively it seems when the same agency performs both roles it creates a conflict of interest and bias against disclosure.
In a Roman history class in undergrad I learned that a lot of Roman buildings had been blessed by different pagan priesthoods, so ancient Romans would actually bury the old structures rather than demolish them - so they wouldn't offend the gods. Here's a link describing some forms of building burial in Rome. It didn't mention what I just said, but that ancient Romans tore the roofs off of old buildings and filled them in with dirt. This provided a foundation for a structure to be built on top.
