It would certainly be better if the version on Sandstorm was more up to date, but the current version works. If you're just interested in trying it out with minimal hassle.
It's most likely a false positive. The packers etc., the demoscene uses employ the same tricks as malware does and thus trigger heuristics in AV software.
I'm probably a bit naive, but I don't really understand why it would be that difficult. You have an extremely hard working populace with powerful aspirations (viewing their countrymen who've risen up from poverty), they have the technology and manufacturing prowess, natural resources, political will and experience, money....if any country in the history of the world was in a position to do it, China seems like the very well best prepared by far. The biggest hurdles I can think of is the cultural propensity for corruption and excessive savings, far from insurmountable imho.

Sure, it may not be "easy", but is it hard?
Istio Auth: secure by default service to service communications
Spoiler alert: Not only that, but making the "Puppet Master" Kusanagi's ex boyfriend is so cringe-worthy.
"Introspection" is not usually associated with standing up for yourself or your needs. It just means looking inward, which does require that you not be run off your feet taking care of others, but I've never heard it used to refer to the tactics necessary to acquire that space. "Self-advocacy" is one phrase that might be close. Or assertiveness?
Domestication leads to heavy inbreeding and a depression in genetic diversity genome-wide.

Furthermore, the Y chromosome recombines at a much slower rate compared to the autosome, resulting in less diversity. This should be balanced by a higher mutation rate, but again, domestication depresses that.

So no, it's not really surprising to see this.
I agree there are quite a few problematic areas of this article (It reads like a advertisement for the author's app to me also), but a few of the negatives he listed are issues I've encountered in my career in iOS Development, albeit a career much shorter than yours.

> Provisioning Profiles

Provisioning profiles are still an annoyance if using tools such as Jenkins to compile and distribute builds, as xcodebuild has to be used to build the app. This forces you to manually set up the profiles and consequently run into many of the problems that have been solved with automatic signing. This also affects ad-hoc deployment as the process of adding new testing devices requires the generation and download of a new ad-hoc provisioning profile onto the Jenkins machine.

>Without the author listing the reasons for rejections it's hard to draw a conclusion here but complaints about rejections are usually BS.

I don't think this is the case of all apps. In the past few months my company has easily over ten rejections, due to the fact that our app targets a niche that the reviewers are not knowledgeable on. For instance, we received two rejections in the last month over the wording of our background location services requests. We use industry specific keywords that reviewers did not know, but users of our apps most definitely would know. It is true that these issues are generally sorted out easily, but we still receive rejections and it can get frustrating.

Regardless, the author stated he received 7 rejections before being approved. It seems to me that if the author's app was rejected this many times, he failed to follow Apple's app review guidelines in some form (Complete conjecture of course).
So, all liberal outlets.
We do/did! Class E space (240.0.0.0/4) exists and is entirely unused. There was a proposal in 2008-ish to try and convert it to regular IP space for allocation, but the agreement was that it would be too much work (many stacks default drop class E packets) and we should focus on transitioning to IPv6.
They have a political podcast "The Weeds" which is pretty good - it's very left but they're really knowledgeable about the topics they talk on. I don't watch their stuff on YouTube etc. having seen a few and been disappointed, but that podcast is solid.

Sherlock Holmes was written by a doctor who wasn't busy, and who therefore had time to write.
It's a combination of (at least) two things, in my opinion.

1. Incorrect or incomplete understanding of the differences between CS and software engineering

2. Ego and arrogance. There are plenty of very arrogant high achieving physics and engineering PhDs I know from my former life as an academic who would be ashamed at the arrogance of a lot of the folks in this field. In my view there is a very deep strain of "I know better than those who came before (and, incidentally, better than many now)." I've never seen anything quite like it in any other context.
Erlang does do this. In fact, it dawned on me that OTP is basically a system for writing "micro services" inside the app itself, complete w/ monitoring, queues (mailboxes) & supervision.

Developers are forced to export public module functions to provide a smooth api for other services (processes, in the same runtime, or distributed).

Thankfully, Erlang provides the protocols and so on, instead of requiring some nasty hand-crafted json weirdness over http.
At least in the US, CAN-SPAM mandates that emails have an unsubscribe option - are you sure you didn't miss it?
People really respect power. An accommodating person has none because they say yes to everything.
When you're trying that hard to please every trivial whim of anyone, regardless of the cost to yourself: what are you compensating? Who hurt you? Who lied to you? I mean, there's gotta be something that made you rate the approval by others so highly, and your approval of others so unimportant. Something or someone that stole you from you. Would you take 2 weeks of the life of one person to save another person 5 minutes? Unlikely, and it isn't so different when you are one of those persons.

We'd be super weirded out if someone in front of us in the queue in the supermarket committed suicide so we could pay faster. Apart from that probably increasing checkout times for everybody -- just imagine the chaos -- we wouldn't even appreciate "the thought", we'd be like "how DARE you use me for this?". Most of us don't mind being catered to or even pampered, but we don't want others to just throw themselves away for us. There are limits, even though it's kind of invisible most of the time, there is a line where hurting ourselves too much to help others a little bit actually hurts society, and offends others, correctly so.

Last but certainly not least: this over-the-top, dysfunctional selflessness in the sense of having no self (or rather, not respecting one's self) attracts not only knights in shining armour, but mostly baaaad types. You might say abuse breeds abuse in that someone who for some reason is playing doormat is emitting pheromones for people who like to trample on others. I really don't mean this to victim blame at all, but it's sadly true. And the less you let others violate your boundaries, the clearer your sight becomes for what you can freely give for mutual benefit. E.g. don't spend 2 weeks to save someone 5 minutes, but do spend 5 minutes to save someone 2 weeks.

TL;DR: you can't be a good friend to others without being a good friend to yourself first.

Active-Defense Bill Allows Destruction of Data, Use of Beacon Tech
I can believe "deep RL related to AlphaGo" but that was somehow transmuted to "[AlphaGo] was used to cut Google’s data center cooling costs", which doesn't make sense.

Are you saying the maps API (which this demo uses) is fast, but the maps website itself is slow? That 100% matches my experience.

Seed Fundraising – How to Close the Lead Investor
In the US, marathon fundraising usually works pretty differently, in that the fundraising efforts are separate from the event itself. Anyone can enter the Chicago Marathon for $195 and can then choose to participate in whatever fundraising they like (e.g. Team in Training to support Lymphoma research). I'd be curious to see an event that works the way you describe. Do you have a link?
Saying "no" sometimes (genuinely, everyone has shit to do) is the best way to know for sure who really enjoys your company and who just keeps you near for the easy "yes" you always carry around.
I don't know where you got the idea that quantifying something fixes it for all time. Numbers can change. Measures of inter-rater reliability can be applied to multiple ratings over time by the same person (why not?)
We are constantly questioning whether lawsuits are fair/justified around here. The first that comes to mind are patent trolls.
Settlement implies at least the threat of a lawsuit, so it's reasonable to question what a potential lawsuit was about, isn't it?
I wouldn't say that it's easy. You at least need some tungsten, uranium-238, rhenium, platinum, iridium, osmium, or chengdeite (Ir3Fe) most of which are nearly as expensive to obtain as actual gold. Any other material that is denser is probably also radioactive, and only available from nuclear fission reactors.

Os 22.59 kg/L $13k/kg $294k/L
Ir 22.56 kg/L $22k/kg $496k/L
Pt 21.45 kg/L $29k/kg $622k/L
Re 21.02 kg/L $69k/kg $1450k/L
Au 19.30 kg/L $40k/kg $772k/L
W 19.25 kg/L $50/kg $960/L
U 19.1 kg/L $150/kg $2900/L

The obvious choice for counterfeiters would be tungsten. A gold bar that has been hollowed out and filled it with tungsten is detectable with ultrasound. Counterfeit tungsten coins with known dimensions can be detected by measuring electrical resistance, or by doing a "ring" test, which is striking the coin with a hard object and listening to the sound it makes. The difference between the sound of a gold coin and a tungsten fake is clearer than the difference between a genuine B20 bell-bronze crash cymbal and a cymbal made from cheap brass. The gold coin will ring, while the tungsten coin will barely sustain a dull thunk.

The other noble metals are available in extremely limited supply, and usually comparable in value to gold or platinum anyway.

Devices that test for the density of gold coins are already cheap and widely available. Using a Fisch device and dropping the coin onto a countertop is just as easy as using the counterfeit detector marker, checking the watermark and color-shift inks, and looking at the security strip under a UV light.
I'm sorry you took my post as a rhetorical trap, it wasn't intended as such.

You stated that "that kind of action ought to wait until a real legal judgment has been made." Which to me comes across as rather absolute, your response has made it clear that that wasn't entirely true, so my apologies for misunderstanding you.

From your comments here though, it sounds to me that you consider an HR investigation an unfair process, would that correctly characterize your view?

To be clear, I do believe your stance is untenable, but that doesn't mean my statements are in bad faith, these questions are more or less the reasons that I believe that the stance that "companies shouldn't fire people before they're found guilty of a crime" is an untenable stance (and s/companies/universities or other organization/ for a broader conversation).

I don't think that an organization can hold itself to the ethical bar you think is proper without causing itself (and its constituents) a level of inconvenience that is too great. For a society or government, where membership is not voluntary, that is necessary, but for groups whose members are free to leave (for whatever definition fits the group), it doesn't work.

You can't simultaneously have a group that people will want to voluntarily join in and one that protects abusers.
Checklist for writing good Python libraries
Why MarkoJS is fast
IMO, the trick is to have control over the level of accommodation you present to different people and different situations. The key quote from the article:

>I gave to them for years, at the expense of those who had a far better claim upon my generosity.

There's a life skill getting pointed at here. Specifically, comparing the demand to the level of obligation you want to fulfill, and reacting appropriately. There's another higher-level skill of figuring out what the results of different obligation levels are and strategically choosing them.

Basically, saying "yes" implies saying "no" to the alternatives, and sometimes those alternatives are far better.
I wonder if you wore something like a spacesuit if you could do it. It would provide heat and air.
Sure, it would be an odd pattern but perhaps a required one for a certain interface.

eg: it's going to be used as a event callback but you want the function signature to be foo(bar, event). Then you get the benefits of partial application without the problems of currying a new function each time its called.

source: have used this a lot for event handlers, especially when dealing with on 3rd party code.
Dead People Are Posting Anti-Net Neutrality Comments to FCC Website
Just to clarify: "enamored of" is basically the same phrase as "in love with". You're agreeing with the parent post.
I take an orphan drug myself to treat cataplexy/narcolepsy. I think the costs are around $60k to $80k per year and I'm of the exact same opinion as you. I have treatment today because we allow them to make a profit, and I'm only willing to try an alternative system when we prove through experimentation that this alternative system will actually produce as many treatments for orphan diseases at a cheaper price that makes the treatment available to more people.

Without the US healthcare system, my treatment simply would not exist. My treatment exists in no other country in the world.

Eventually, those that don't have insurance as good as mine will benefit from these drugs once the patent expires. It sucks that many people won't benefit until that happens, but under the alternative system SJWs are so keen to promote my treatment would never have been developed and I couldn't get this treatment at any price and no one in the future would get it either because their wouldn't be a treatment for a patent to expire on.

At the end of the day, the US is practicing "socialist" healthcare. It's socialist in the sense that it pays for a lot of the R&D that the rest of the world benefits from. 40% of the entire output of medical research globally comes from the US alone.

My team won a bank-sponsored hackathon and a $15,000 prize because 4 days before it started, I came across this Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Lightbulb/comments/43ljd4/a_virtual...

We built a tamagotchi-like app called Piggly that would let you feed and take care of it using money from your bank account. However, instead of treating it like an in-app purchase, the money goes from your chequing account into savings or investments (you decide).

The server is still up if anyone would like to try it: http://138.68.25.230/

You can Register with any 6 digit number.
BTW, the benchmarks in January shows MarkoJS 40x+ faster than React on server side rendering ( https://hackernoon.com/server-side-rendering-shootout-with-m... )

I do not get too excited for 20% improvement but 4000% improvement makes me interested. It can mean that you need 1/40 of your frontend servers.

If you currently have 100 servers to serve your dynamic pages with React, you may just 3 with Marko !!!

Here's the XENON1T "first results" paper ...

https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.06655

> We report the first dark matter search results from XENON1T, a 2000-kg-target-mass dual-phase (liquid-gas) xenon time projection chamber in operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy and the first ton-scale detector of this kind. The blinded search used 34.2 live days of data acquired between November 2016 and January 2017. Inside the (104212) kg fiducial mass and in the [5, 40] energy range of interest for WIMP dark matter searches, the electronic recoil background was events/(kg day ), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector. A profile likelihood analysis shows that the data is consistent with the background-only hypothesis. We derive the most stringent exclusion limits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interaction cross section for WIMP masses above 10 GeV/c, with a minimum of 7.7 cm for 35-GeV/c WIMPs at 90% confidence level.
I was explaining this point of view to a good old aunt of mine one afternoon and she exclaimed: “But, Joe, it is so selfish for a man to put his work ahead of everything! It’s unchristian.”

“On the contrary, it is Christian in the very finest sense,” I replied. “What was it that Jesus said when his parents rebuked him for his failure to keep his engagement with them on that first journey down from Jerusalem? ‘Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?’ He demanded. He had work to do — great work and little time in which to do it. Even He was no exception to the eternal rule that achievement comes only through the subordination of every power to a great ideal; and that no man is really obliging who does not first discharge in full his obligations to his work.”
>Three things were very clear to me in that night of self-examination five years ago. First: A man’s chief loyalty must be to the woman who has joined her life to his; to the children who call him father; and to the business which feeds and clothes and houses them all

No. A man’s chief loyalty must be to himself. This guy didn't take the lesson to its final conclusion.

The Home of the Future
I don't think that perception is accurate. Google's IPv6 tracker shows continual progress: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html (with the expected bumps around weekends and holidays)

It's not a fast process, but I don't see any evidence it is stalled.
Dude, I'm the lead developer and maintainer of an OSS project with roughly 120 kLoC in Scala, and I probably break the build more often than not. (Of course commits don't make it into master until they're green.) In fact, I'm typically surprised when a PR passes the CI on the first try! There are way too many configurations to test locally (a PR triggers around 10 hours*CPU of tests on our CI servers), so I only test a single config before submitting a PR. Uncovering the impact on the other configs is left to the CI servers.

So yeah, I'm not surprised by those results.
In my experience, it is easier to advocate outwardly for yourself than it is to look inward and evaluate what you actually need from yourself in order to be happy. In that sense, I meant introspection. I feel like the more able I am to understand the needs and desires that drive my self-advocacy, the more effectively I can find balance in life.

Is there really any doubt that if any multi-billionaire wants to get a degree from an Ivy League school, they can't get one?

Said multi-billionaire can make the time. He can hire a tutor if he is struggling with a topic, and faculty would likely be more interested in helping him because he's rich and famous. Administration will be quite accommodating because, if he's an alumni and has a great experience, he'll likely donate to the school. Any hard-ass professor is going to be given the word to ease up, if there are any concerns.

No middle-class schmuck has that advantage, when he's trying to cover room & board and do coursework. At the end of the day, he's downing some ramen then collapsing in bed for a few hours' sleep. A billionaire can enjoy a well-cooked meal, a massage, and a swim in the pool before retiring for the day. He has people to handle the drudgery, and other people to handle most of the corporate load.

If Zuck somehow failed, it could be spun that he "chose to spend more time with family" or that Facebook "demanded more time than anticipated". He's still rich. He's still employed.

If the middle-class schmuck fails, he's still in debt and the only job he has is the one he was already working at.
I had the chance to briefly meet (22 years ago) an Harvard Teacher who was also involved in AIDS research with UN.

He was going to go to Nepal to meet local doctors and authorities.

He had to "fight" to get a normal airplane ticket instead of the first class his organization was ready to pay him.

Because the first class ticket was more expensive than the Nepal AIDS fighting year budget...
Heh, you managed to swing my opinion a 180 in a single sentence.

>We built a tamagotchi-like app called Piggly that would let you feed and take care of it using money from your bank account.

"Wow, that's exploitative as hell. You won't get many players but there are a few who'd get addicted and basically drain their accounts. Immoral - but profitable!"

>However, instead of treating it like an in-app purchase, the money goes from your chequing account into savings or investments (you decide).

"Well, that's just awesome. It encourages people to save by turning it into a game. If they really end up needing that money they can always move it back."

Neat idea. I wonder how a bank would react to someone constantly pushing money between checkings and savings to care for their Piggly without actually saving as if they had a pet.
Along the same lines as the advice in TFA: If you pass an object literal as the `style` prop, it'll always re-render, because the object reference will change. Solution: instead of the object literal, pass a reference to an existing object.
