Does this include people who grew up vegetarian? I suspect people who are vegetarian for cultural reasons (e.g. myself) would have a much lower chance of "returning" to Meat (don't know if I would even call it returning) than those who initially ate meat, became vegetarians, and then went back to eating meat. Also surprised that only 2% of Americans are vegetarian, but probably because I've lived in California most of my life.. I also wonder what percent of Americans eat meat 1 or more days / week, 2 days / week, etc..

Gack. Don't move to Portland. It's crowded, overpriced, dreary, constantly raining, and there's no decent bookstores or parks.
Vegetarians and vegans, unlike catholics, don't have a comunity of people who will call them up and ask them why they haven't been attending service. Being vegetarian and vegan is also much more involved than christianity. You can be a serial killer and still be a christian, but you cannot be a vegan if you eat meat once. We also lack a confessional culture in which sins can be forgiven and stray sheep can come back to the fold. That's something we really need. Too many people slip up once and feal that they are carnivores again.
Google maps normally gives you a few routes and you can choose the best. You can avoid highways, tolls, and ferries. You can preview all your turns. You can add stops if you want. I don't believe Google maps has many weather suggestions, but there are apps to check the whether.
I've found Google maps to be better than any built-in GPS in my cars.
H1-B not so much although Trump complained vociferously against Disney replacing US IT workers with imports. More significant was the displacement of US working class through free trade, and through illegal aliens.

But in each case, the Republican contenders and the major Democratic contender ignored the job issues. Sanders was also consistent with Trump regarding working class jobs.

You clearly (either willingly because it suits your narrative or because you didn't actually read anything) are accusing me of something I not only clearly didn't do but something that I actually spoke against.

Again: I'm all for opening doors for everyone that "doesn't have any unfair external advantage" (i.e. doping) to compete. What I'm questioning is barring the fastest runners from competition and from the prizes just because of their gender.

In no way I was asking for barring anyone from anything, so stop mixing everything up just to suit your narrative.
Since my wife works in pre-fills and other things I can tell you for a fact that you still have to go through FDA approval. If you change something slightly, you go through approval. There are often clinical trials if the change is not incremental, sometimes even if it is. Change the packaging? FDA review. Change the color of the label? FDA approval. Change suppliers? FDA review.

So yes, the syringe and container themselves don't cost that much on a per unit basis (no clue but it's not nothing.) The regulatory costs are astronomical and have to be paid for over time. The general inanity of this stuff is mind boggling. The amount of paperwork insane.

It's all about politics and probably an element of self-interest now, though. Public perception doesn't actually matter in our system until the next election, whenever that is.

So, if opposition MPs want to put that off for another three years, everyone currently sitting as an MP keeps their seat by default, the Tories are still in charge but still only with a narrow working majority, and those in opposition parties have only three years to wait for another shot after cleaning house instead of five years.

I'm not sure whether that sort of rebellion is a realistic prospect given the views expressed so far today, but I think it would be a rational position for opposition MPs to take given the current unpopularity of both Labour and the Lib Dems among the general public.

It would be nice, but is a rather tall order. Total cost of maintenance and development of software is not usually public, often unknown even to the developing company, and not actually a very useful metric without context of how much value was generated by that cost. And again that generated value is generally not public and usually unknown even to the companies themselves.

Another approach is to run experiments but they are universally terrible. Their methods have so little relation to the way real software is developed, that it is hard to take any conclusions seriously.

I would also like some hard data, but don't hold your breath. Technology decisions will probably need to made based on other factors for the foreseeable future.
After I watched Forks Over Knives on Netflix it took me about 2 years to become 100% plant based, but I've been doing it now for over a year and I can guarantee you I'll never go back.

Here in Austin we have several monthly potlucks based upon the Plant Pure Nation pods idea, which makes it easier to find like minded people and new recipes. Also, Facebook groups like McDougall Friends is great for support, if you need it.

Erlang is used at WhatsApp. One of the interesting things there is that for the amount of users and messages handled they had a very small backend team. They have credited Erlang and its features as one of the keys to their success. It means less code (mostly related to minimal impedance mismatch from language to problem domain), debug-ability, reliability, fault tolerance, less ops overload and so on.

I personally find it much easier to navigate and fix bugs in an Erlang code base than in the equivalent C++/Java/C# one. It mainly boils down to how state is updated. When I see NewState = update(Value, State) it is clear what is happening. In OO code, I usually need to remember what object inherits from, what are is the instance state so far (what other members have been called) and how it got there. I find that much harder to handle, for example.
There are a lot of answers here and on Stack Overflow that are a lot more complicated or esoteric than they need to be. The simplest example in my mind is a vector of references (e.g., java.util.Vector, java.util.ArrayList). In the implementation of removing a tail element or truncating the vector, one must set the removed references to null, otherwise the objects they point to cannot be collected and yet they are unavailable to users of the vector.
Not vector; those are jpg tiles.
I think the issues is that it uses NaCl - I assume they compiled the existing Earth engine to run on the web.

Most likely web-based Earth was launching just too early to switch from NaCl to WASM, which just shipped, and they'll port to NaCl soon.
One that expected to be in a worse position afterwards than before, presumably. For example, a party whose MPs are mostly opposed to the current leadership and think it will cost them a lot of seats they currently have if an election is held.
> - Track no-shows, and kick them out of the group (which is a burden for the organizers and can penalize people with really good reasons for not being able to make it.)

Realistically this is the only option. No-shows tells people who show up that the numbers they expected to see aren't realistic and that they may be the only one that shows up the next time.

Charging for the meetup just irritates people, and sets them up for disappointment. Putting a limit on attendence and creating a waitlist works. (Although some of the people who were truely a maybe won't sign up)
The vast amount of smokers who quit smoking eventually return to the newsagents to pay lots of money for some tobacco. However there is a second category of people that have never smoked, and are totally unlikely to do so.

Vegetarian/vegan dieting is a bit like this. There are lots of people that try going vegan and then they only last so long at it, probably boring everyone to death with their 'meat is murder' views.

Meanwhile, in India and plenty of other places, are those that actually are vegetarian, having grown up that way and not indoctrinated at a young age into the meat eating cult. For these people the logic of suddenly starting to eat meat makes as much sense as taking up smoking, after an impressionable teenage this does not happen.

Disclosure: yes I am vegetarian and I own a leather belt!!!

Privacy is literally the first one on my list :)

Freedom of speech (freedom of expression seems a literal translation from Spanish "libertad de expresión" which is "freedom of speech") I agree. I just forgot about it :)

I could add others like separation of powers that I also forgot (and they're under attack if you follow UK politics).

I love how this article portrays Mr. Ballmer as a wide eyed innocent.

“I mean it’s funny, but I didn’t realize all these not-for-profits were in a sense almost like government contractors.”

Well, yeah. Antipoverty nonprofit agencies run programs like Head Start and handle all sorts of charity operations. Adoption agencies, training programs, and on and on. A key skill for nonprofit comptrollers is knowing how to get governments to cough up the money they're contracted to pay these agencies.

“You know it’s not legal to know how many firearms that are in this country? The government is not allowed to collect the number.”

Mr. Ballmer, are you the LAST person to know that? People interested in stemming urban violence have known that for decades.

Maybe somebody with his clout can make a difference. It's good to have this information gathered up in a useful form. But, enough with the "innocents abroad" narrative!
Programming Considered as a Human Activity (1965)
One thing worth noting is that regardless of one's personal reasons to be vegan/ vegetarian , being 90% vegan WILL almost always be 90% effective for said reason.

This is not to dispute anything from the article. Just a reminder that if you sympathize or relate with any cause to reduce animal product usage, you don't have to be "vegan" or "vegetarian", just try to reduce your consumption to the point where it starts to inconvenient you.
It just says deaths in the screenshot though, not death rate so it shouldn't be dependent on anything else.
Fake science.

Welcome to the frustrations of my childhood.

I sort of neat trick is during a dump you can be holding down to charge your "blade kick"* and immediately when you hit the ground, press up and kick to execute the move, and it gives the appearance of one of performing the move without charging. Sometimes gets a surprised look by your opponent.

I'm not the user you're replying to, but I found this question interesting.

> Do you think programming productivity is possible to measure and if so how?

For the purpose of discussion, I would propose that a team of developers are given a simple task with highly specific and explicit functionality requirements. This team of developers should Ideally have no experience with any of the technologies used. Experience with the problem domain is acceptable. These developers would then be tasked with building out the solution with various different technologies (languages, frameworks, libraries). We then compare the time it took for the developers to complete the task relative to the amount of bugs present in the solution. For example, the team could be tasked to build a gui calendar with Haskell and then Python.

The issues with the above proposed experiment are as follows:

* We would need to find some way to adjust for problem domain familiarity. The developers are going to get better, and thus more productive, at the task after they have completed it the first time.

* We need some sort of concrete numerical measure of "bug likelyness" for lack of a better term. All software has bugs, but some are very hard to find or appear only during runtime under very specific conditions.

* We need to decide whether or not we take the language ecosystem into account. In the calendar example I provided above, Python would obviously be more productive because there are a ton of different packages available that make creating a GUI extremely trivial.

* Do we take into account time spent on learning the language/tool/package/framework/library? Do we measure the amount of time that it takes the team to feel comfortable working with a new technology?

All in all, it's an interesting thought experiment and I'm interested to hear what you think.
The Constitution limits the Federal government. One can therefore say that government programs that are outside the scope stated by the Constitution are outside the legitimate scope of the Federal government.

The Tenth Amendment is pretty clear: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Now, I know, the Supreme Court has effectively gutted the Tenth Amendment, but the intent was that the Federal government was restricted to a specific set of activities, rather than allowed to do everything everyone thought was a good idea.

So if you think that the intent matters, then you see much of what the Federal government does as being a power grab of things that it never should have had the power to do - and which it still does not have the legitimate authority to do.

I don't own an iphone (my girlfriend does).

As far as weight restrictions and stuff, I'm talking even simpler than that. The geospatial data and a lot of the traffic flow is already there. It would be an "summer intern size" project to figure out an algorithm that does an ok job identifying route features and traffic flow situations that are not trailer friendly or delivery vehicle friendly (left turns suck). Even for something other than commercial vehicles this is important. Anyone driving a mini-bus with a student/church/summer camp group will run into a route with a really bad intersection or turn.
Well if you want to go that way ;-) jokingly Erlang is the only true OO language implementing Alan Kay's idea of what "Object Oriented" means -- passing messages between isolated components.

I've heard of inheritance as a corrupting influence which has taken over and corrupted OO for years/ Funny enough, even most OO folks eventually realized that and moved to banish inheritance as a viable pattern.

wtf? So the docker project is now "moby"? And I have no idea what the major changes are? How is this going to affect my usage of docker? The readme is incredibly confusing and lists no concrete features, especially none that justify reorganizing the entire docker project so drastically. It took me 5 minutes just to realize that github.com/docker/docker now redirects to github.com/moby/moby.

Is this really necessary? Seems like it's just going to create tons of confusion.
I'm the founder/CTO at Unravel, where we're working on using machine learning to solve this problem. Unravel lets devs write tests using our declarative DSL and we generate the browser tests at runtime, using ML for element classification & expert systems to determine sensible actions. You can either give us explicit inputs or use predefined data profiles (ie, complete a form with dummy details for a U.S. user with a test Mastercard, etc).

The dynamically generated at runtime tests solves the weak locator problem, and it's smart enough to avoid inputing invalid values in input fields. We deal with page loading well, and we're working on being able to automatically deal with alerts (and other modals).

The result is browser tests that are way faster to write (because you don't have to worry about locators), and the tests are way more resilient. We're currently pre-release, but we're looking for companies and devs who'd like to be in our upcoming alpha.
I was pretty sure something was broken when I was browsing Docker docs and suddenly I ended up in a moby/moby repo.

I used to go to meetups to actually learn from presenter. Then I realized I can learn much better and faster using online videos/books.

So I stopped caring for the topic of presentation and started go for networking and socializing. But it was just too much to sit through an hour long presentation just so that I can socialize afterwards. A lot of attendees leave immediately after the talk. I could show up an hour late but that feels weird. So I stopped going to meetups completely.

> I disagree. Machine Learning is just super-charged linear regression.

Machine learning is neural nets, which started out as an approach to AI and which yes boil down to linear regression, but that's about as useful as saying brains are just super super charged linear regression. And that's the point, AI is a label that keeps getting cast off of things that started out as AI but once understood people decided they no longer were, you are committing the no true Scotsman fallacy. If it started off as AI, it's AI, that doesn't change because you understand the math underneath that it boils down to.
