At least two hours everyday. I wake up early to read and I read on both to/from commutes. Subway commute makes it easy, but if I drove I'd do audiobooks.

I don't read tech books in these times. Usually history, biography, and art history. I make another time slot for books like tech books that I ""study"".
While it wasn't really the original point, Redux picked up at a time where Angular 1 had a near monopoly. Redux got mindshare because it was the opposite. Do away with the magic, have a predictable flow, and virtually no framework. Just a design pattern where everything is explicit.

It got really popular because a lot of people want that. Typing is cheap. If a bit of boilerplate and a couple of files drastically affect your productivity, you're not solving a hard problem (and if you're not solving a hard problem, which is the common case, there are a lot of other tools better suited for it).

But because it got popular, everyone jumped on the wagon, including people who were not the target audience, or were not solving problems it was a good tool for. Now, people try to force Redux into being something else, and it really, REALLY sucks at that.

In evolution, a population gaining immunity means that all individuals without the immunity die out before spreading their genes. Yeah, still not the ideal scenario...

> The concept of sitting in a class for months then writing one all-or-nothing exam was terrifying. They needed constant reassurances that they were keep pace. They wanted weekly testing and assignments. They also had serious reading issues. They could read, but ask them to read more than a few pages of prose and they would zone out.

I moved to the Bay Area in 1982. I'd heart about BART. "Oh boy, I get to use BART," I thought. And I flew in from the east coast, found an apartment in Cupertino, and . . . no BART. Quickly I found there was no chance in hell I'd get to use it in the south bay. So I drove everywhere. I think I was on BART maybe twice, the whole 20+ years I was in Silly Valley.

In the 90s, San Jose built light rail from useless point A to other useless point B. I couldn't use that, either. So I was still driving everywhere.

I live in the Seattle area now. Still no happy ending, though there was a huge push for a transit expansion (and a corresponding tax increase), and I hear we'll get light rail in our area in maybe ten years. That'll be nice.
I dunno. My best guess would be that it's there for legacy reasons.
Here[1] is my take on a vastly simpler redux pattern, which hides both reducers and containers from application code, while at the same time requiring no middleware for async. It has worked wonderfully for our medium+ sized project.

I despise the GI Bill scavengers disguised as schools, but that's no reason to not find a way to integrate boot camps into the offerings. There are still plenty of traditional schools that take GI bill money and provide basically no benefit. At least there will be built in skepticism when assessing code schools which may help weed out the shadier folks (even if it makes it a pain in the ass to get approved by the VA/state approvers).
>> Violins don't have frets but experts can hit the notes.

I posit that a fretless violin is more akin to a physical keypad than any traditional touch UI. I'm not a violinist, but I'd imagine these physical subtleties would take the form of neck taper, neck thickness, string pitch, string tension, etc. There's an equivalent feedback loop that stern advocates of the physical keypad simply can't discard, whereas traditional touch UIs are deadly efficient at "quantizing" such physical subtleties away.

As an aside, violinists generally don't have a day-to-day multitasking dilemma, say, serenading while driving.

Johnny Lee best explained[1] that the UX pays a cost whenever a UI fails to capture intent...and it's a cost that we often ignore when adopting new tech. Perhaps this cost may be insignicant to the typical low stakes consumer, but to a professional who spends much time corresponding over mobile, retaining a high level of confidence without visual verification or reducing the average number of errors per stroke or quickly adjusting to a new interface based on its tactile nuances is often all the justification that's needed to make the physical keypad an imperative.

The docs are fine. Redux is just a victim of its popularity. A lot of people jumping on it are people who are used to things like Rails, where there's one way to do things, every little bit of boilerplate is abstracted away (and if you don't want to do things this way, you're screwed) and you don't ask questions why.

Redux is the polar opposite. No amount of documentation will change that. The faster we accept that not every tool is the right one for everyone, the faster we can make better tools that are great and some stuff instead of being mediocre at everything.
This has been my experience. Frankly, coding made it easier to understand the math, and absolutely none of it was complicated when I did finally get to it.

Wow. Just Wow.

After reading about this over several days I would have never guessed it was such a gaping hole. This reminds me of a software bug I encountered in the 90s with a version of the Renegade BBS software (a Telegard hack). In one minor revision, you could login to any account by just not bothering to enter a password. Though the "sysop" (admin) account often had a custom name, for convenience, you could login by your user number and the sysop user number was always zero. A good friend of mine had his entire system wiped out by a malicious user with this little problem.

It doesn't sound like this is a matter of leaving the password field blank, but rather sending a request with a tool like cURL and setting the header to an empty/NULL response, but it's about as close to just as bad as you can get. Sheesh.
Assuming everyone that didn't vote has no political opinion, do you think that they would care about Colbert's rant? I addressed the phenomenon of paradoxical popularity reactions to controversies in my original post, but I still don't see the value of insulting anyone when you are in the business of advertising to as wide of audience as possible. Lets not forget TV is an advertisement driven business. Bill OReilly found out pretty quick that it wasn't his analysis that kept him around, it was the sponsors.
Yeah, it's pretty trivial to rebuild Redux with a couple of functional building blocks, or my personal favorite, with RxJS and the scan operator.

I'm surprised that didn't pick up more yet.
I ride CC every day and it is not that often delayed by freight. But I will switch to BART when it opens in Milpitas because that will be faster and cheaper and with much more frequent service.
I understand you. We do disagree on some matters--Libertarianism really is just about liberty. Though much public misunderstanding exists regarding it.
I'm not saying this isn't a threat. But it doesn't seem as scary as the title or comments are making it out to be. The article admits that most bacteria can't survive this long frozen. Only certain types that have adapted to serving in the cold long term by forming spores. It only mentions one bacteria that harms humans that can do that, botulinum. Which isn't contagious and is only a problem with improperly canned food. And anthrax which is deadly but fortunately not very contagious.

Viruses are more of a concern, but the article doesn't make a great case there either. They mention that scientists found a smallpox victim but were unable to recover a complete smallpox virus. Just fragments of it's DNA. The scariest thing recovered was Spanish Flu. Which fortunately many people have already been vaccinated against: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-flu-vaccine-idUSTRE65E65S2...
I guess it's not just for single coffee. Either couple of them or sandwiches/croissants.
The restrictions on GI Bill usage are added by congress intentionally to reduce cost of the program. Obviously OP didnt read the somewhat hidden fine prints (more getting added every year) and expects more.

The accreditation process (or anything with Department of VA) takes quite a lot of effort that even big education vendors find it hard to justify the resources spent on it (adding a new learning track/update a program requires going through all the hoops again).

6 months can make a huge difference, maybe not for you....
I didn't go to one, but I'm entirely self-taught. I'd seriously advocate for you to open your mind a bit.

I once had a boss that had a very similar attitude to what you're talking about here, and I left the position pretty quickly. And not once have I felt constrained by my lack of degree- if anything, the self-learning put me in a place where I more quickly learn new technologies because I'm more active in starting side projects using them.

I understand that one's school is a huge impact on their experience, but don't let it become an implicit endorsement.

I'm from Wisconsin and am currently reading "Janesville: An American Story", which is about the city of Janesville, WI and what happened when the GM auto plant closed in 2008. A lot of subsidies went to retraining the unemployed factory workers because that's supposedly how you are supposed to treat factory closings. But it turns out that when you compare the salaries of the workers who went back to school (tech school or university) versus the ones who just found other employment, the ones who went to school actually ended up earning less on average. Yes, income isn't everything about education, it is supposed to make you a better person and so forth, but such unintuitive results really make you think.
Trail mix (never heard the word gorp before) is nothing new, neither is muesli. My version above, however, is low sugar and a complete protein with much more varied nutrition sources. Thought it doesnt taste quite as good to your sweet tooth as a bag of m&ms and nuts.
There's no reason we can't have an accreditation program to ensure that only reputable schools can get access to GI bills. This whole problem of predatory colleges doesn't seem like an insurmountable one. It seems more an issue with legislative inertia and poor implementation rather than an intrinsic failing of GI education plans.
The concern is facing something that expects a map, and not knowing how to correctly populate it.

GDAX fell about 8% yesterday, from $96.82 to $89.07 in one hour (May 4, 9-10am) with about $2 million worth of trades. It's a little early to call this a post-volatility era.

It didn't read as a dog-whistle to me. It's a scenario that's happening across Europe.

The mass import of different cultures is a real problem because it erodes trust and cohesion within communities affected.

To put it bluntly, multiculturalism isn't all its cracked up to be. A trickle of immigrants from, for example, east Asia is clearly enriching. The same cannot be said for a mass influx from a culture that holds opposing values. Continuing to deny this will only result in more Brexit-like events.
But that isn't what's happening here and you know it. You're a Trump supporter, that's cool, but please drop the concern trolling. You're not offended, you're just being opportunistic.
Also reminds me of how Bungie released an update for Halo PC a few years ago to allow multiplayer to continue despite the shutdown of the Gamespy servers. They even included a higher resolution mode(up to 4k!) as part of the patch. Say what you want about Halo or Bungie, but that's an awesome thing to happen for a game that's over a decade old. I have so many great memories playing online multiplayer and making mods while I should have been doing my homework!

The fact that there are still communities around these games kind of goes to show that modern variants of their gameplay can be overvalued. I haven't bought a new game in years because classic titles hold up so well and I still get a ton of enjoyment out of them as an adult with limited time on my hands.
So if a manager says to the office, "Some of you people need to improve your performance" and one person takes that as meaning only people of color need improvement and reports the manager, you would side with the employee?

There are many common cases where someone refers to a group of people with the intention of meaning everyone while someone in the group interprets it as referring to a subset of the group. It stems from the ambiguity of the word people and the impact of tone and body language in conveying its ultimate meaning.
There's actually already what appears to be a complete but unused (unmaintained?) rail bridge running across the bay parallel to and slightly south of the Dumbarton bridge. I find it curious that it's never used considering how useful it could be.
Just answering from an economic perspective:

> What would you use it for? Buy olives?

No, of course not. What government sells olives ? You'd use it to pay Greek taxes. Those you'll pay anytime you want to buy anything from Greece.

So it doesn't matter if export companies get paid in Euros, Dollars, or anything else. They'd still owe taxes in (presumably) Drachma and that would create a market for Drachmas.
That isn't universally true. The enlisted ranks have some pretty good training in many cases. Navy electronic techs take months of classes that are quite intensive.

Similar for other technical tracks like aircraft maintenance. The bar to entry for these kind of jobs are minimum ASVAB test scores that aren't easy to make.

You may have encountered a lot of ex infantry or similar. They get intensive training as well, just not as cerebral.
Web developers who churn out crud apps think that.
Discarding unneeded Java SE modules is just a minor optimization for packaging and deployment. It doesn't do anything to reduce platform complexity; rather the opposite in fact.
People forget that C++ is just a tool, like a screwdriver or a hammer. A good carpenter knows when it's time to take a metallurgy class and resmelt his hammer, because its composition is not correct for being a hammer.
> Do you host bacteria in your small intestine, the prime site of digestion and absorption?

Yes, actually.

The idea that the small intestine doesn't host bacteria, and those that it does are transient passers-by from the oral mucosa, was due to some technically limited work from the 1950s. It was actually laughably easy to find that wasn't the case - there's a transition zone of gram positives to gram negatives throughout the latter ileum, which sharply switches to high numbers of gram negatives, anaerobes, coliforms, on the distal side of the iliocecal valve.

The intestinal bacteria also play a key role in furnishing vitamin K.

And yes, the colon is a site of digestion. Digestion is the process of food breakdown, nutrient extraction, and waste elimination. The colon is involved in some extraction (primarily vitamin production, and water reabsorption) and elimination; admittedly, not so much with breakdown.
The US government bankrolls the self-described "National Endowment for Democracy", which openly boasts ( http://www.ned.org/region/central-and-eastern-europe/ ) of meddling in Russian and other elections. Macron and his supporters talk the same way.

If the US and France are going to meddle in Russia's elections and affairs, what is the big surprise if Russia does the same?

Insofar as who benefits from "isolationism" and breaking up western [military] alliances, the answer is me, an American worker and taxpayer. I gain nothing with my tax money going to kill or rape some Vietnamese farmer, or overthrow an elected government in Ukraine.

Trump has a lot of negatives, but that does not apply to whatever notions he has of not getting the US involved overseas militarily more than he already as.
if we're going to simplify language then call it what it is: a program. the only reason they're called contracts is because they were theorized within the context of future financial instruments, smart contract is a historical artifact for a kind of automated thing that might have one day appeared in many forms, but now we know. calling them programs would have been more immediately accessible to programmers which is clearly where the weight is shifting, contract should have been reserved for the DSL lawyers use to write programs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think there's some ambiguity when you speak of "ownership of IP".

I don't think anyone disagrees that, when you create the first copy of a new work, that you own that copy (assuming it's not a work-for-hire or something).

There is definitely disagreement around whether you should be able to prevent other people you have given a copy from creating further copies. That ability is what it means to "own" a copyright. And I would argue that that is clearly not a natural right, though possibly something we nonetheless want to enable for some period of time.
well, you're right.

I think there's a not insignificant part of the citizenry who don't read news or think about their relevance outside of satire. There is some value in that it informs these people that there is reason to suspect Russian agendas at play behind the current US Govt.

> And IT folks very much not minded to volunteer their time.

This is an ignorant statement. The many millions of hours of work freely given to producing, maintaining and supporting users of software licensed under Free Software [1] licenses shows it's not true.

I suspect it's just that ‘IT folks’ tend to be cynical about most political parties. So they would want to be paid for any work done for such outfits rather than doing it pro bono.

I'd suggest that politicians who expect they can get such work done for free are the ones who need to “get real”.

I've been using the clip for years, also. It's basically a much improved Shuffle which doesn't need iTunes, has a minimal screen, good battery life, and does what it needs to do well.

There are no materials that magically end up in the oceanic gyres. Things that float and that we throw away will end up in rivers, then the ocean.

Soda bottles and supermarket bags do degrade pretty quickly. The problem is that if they do that while floating on the ocean, they have a bad impact on the environment.

The pacific plastic patch has a half life between one and three years. There are no technical challenge to remove it, just a political one: stop throwing plastic in places that washes them away inside rivers and within a few years the Patch will be gone.
