I agree about the intro courses.

I also agree about "precious little instruction available at the intermediate level". Though some is out there, if you're willing to spend a lot of money and sift through a lot of dross.

But I definitely disagree about needing to pick up some thick textbooks or go to college to get from Hello World to employable junior. What you need to do is work. Textbooks or college (or bootcamp) are certainly a possibility, but there's no shortage of free material, if one has the grit to do the work.

I mean, shit. Entry into an upper-middle-class white collar job used to be a project of at least 4 years of full-time effort, with a cost (on top of cost of living) at least equal to a year of salary of that upper-middle-class job. Modern educational opportunities in the area of software engineering drop that by a factor of 2 or 3 or 4. But some people (the "everyone" in your "everyone seemed to think...") figure it has dropped by a factor of 100. It's preposterous. Would-be programmers have got it pretty damn good... that doesn't mean it's miraculous!

You don't have to be an outright monopoly in the literal sense to cause damage. An overwhelmingly dominant position like the one Microsoft had in the past is enough.
It's possible this varies geographically, but my experience matches that of dragonwriter.
Nice concept. Even nicer domain name. Pretty site, just not sure its going to usurp ebay and craigslist.
China and India have ¼ and 1/11 the per-capita emissions if the USA. Thus the Chinese could triple their emissions output and still be "cleaner" than the USA. India could increase their emissions by an order of magnitude and still be "cleaner" than the USA.

As the 7th most polluting country in the world, the USA should take responsibility to show that their emissions per person should be lower.

This is how Trump carefully frames the debate: talking about increases in emissions without referring to current emissions.
>China has huge reserves of coal but little oil and natural gas.

So the real reason is not that china is a developing nation, but it has little oil and natural gas? That is not going to change, right? So you are saying that China can burn coal forever?

And what happens when a country run out of oil and gas. Can it start burning coal if it is available? Doesn't this mean that the source of pollution will keep shifting perpetually, without a net reduction in emissions?

Why not help these countries with setting up renewables, as much as it is possible.

>Are you saying poor countries should NOT industrialize to help save the world after the industrialized nations have had 100 years to pollute all they want and generate enormous sums of wealth...

No one is saying anything about stopping industrialization. But it does not make sense to exclude some countries on matters like this. The US had 100 years to pollute does not make much sense. Other countries also had 100 years to develop. That they weren't able to do so is no fault of US or other developed countries....
p2 was too much work to come up with a backcompat p5 library with all its problems. And I saw no easy way to add multithreading. Forking perl5 was easier in the short run.

In the long run switching out to a fast VM for tight loops like p2, rperl or spvm (formerly called sperl) is still being considered. Perl6 inline::perl5 is unfortunately not doing too good, and I see no way forward with their architecture.

perl11 is doing very well. Many perl6 features are already in cperl, many more not yet completed. The design is done and sound.
Do you mean SSL/TLS?
Handing out money every month means it's much closer to 1.5 * 30 than 1.5 * 365.
Do we have to have all these scathing headlines telling us what we do and don't know? I mean, I've been doing this a while. I do know a thing or two, and I'm hardly the only one.

I'm surprised ACM stoops to this level of unprofessional clickbait.
In some states, school districts choose their textbooks. In some states, the state as a whole decides on their textbook. So the states that do that (like Texas) have a much larger impact on the contents, because it's such a large order. Whereas a school district can't afford to have their own textbooks written and published, so they have to go with a version already out there.
It's one of the easiest businesses to optimise for revenue/profit, so I'm pretty sure that the the current situation is at least a significant local minimum. At this point, many publishers have run trials with more/less, intrusive/low-key ads and any other variable you can think of.

There are maybe some publishers who found success with running ads only very selectively, but those are usually very small (The Deck, i. e. daring fireball comes to mind). Large, high-quality publications such as the new York Times are somewhere in the middle: ads that include animation, but don't obscure content, and not spam or fraud. For the mass of publishers without a famous brand name, the low-quality ads they're running are probably the best they can do.

And ads do bring in significant revenue, although it's too little to offset the losses in print.
It's unfortunately more about rural vs urban as others have pointed out. Ian Buruma's "Occidentalism" which is my favorite nonfiction book does an amazing job analyzing that situation in very terse and well researched form.
no, you basically "add salt to taste" at the end.

You might add a little salt in intermediary steps because the sodium will play a role in the cooking process. But those aren't "to taste" and usually you'd only need very little.
Can someone comment on why posts like this have been downvoted?
> Eventually, the earth is going to warm significantly without the aid of mankind. What are we supposed to do about that?

Are you talking about Milankovitch cycles? We're about 10,000 years past the warmest point of the last cycle so, absent anthropogenic warming, we should be cooling for a few more thousand years. Then an ice age would last for around 80-90 thousand years, followed by another 10-20 thousand year warm period.

http://ossfoundation.us/projects/environment/global-warming/...

So you're basically asking about the next warming period expected roughly 100,000 years from now? What are we supposed to do about that?
The title is extremely misleading. The article says that the amount of radiation released into the environment by a coal power plant is more than the amount of radiation released by a comparable nuclear plant. This is because coal ash is radioactive, and although it's (obviously) far less radioactive than radioactive waste, there's no effort to contain its radioactivity, so it results in more radiation exposure to people living around the plant.
Trump once again shows he's a political savant. This was the obvious move for someone who cares more about power than doing the right thing: he delivered a campaign promise, he appears strong to his supporters, he gives congressional Republicans something they want and at the same time acquires a bargaining chip with Europe and China that he can cash in later. It takes four years to unwind, so there isn't even much damage and he can announce some new deal right before he's up for election. By dragging the decision out for a week he also distracted from any ongoing talk about Russia etc. Kind of a classic agency problem: this is good for him, bad for the rest of the world.
Yea, TBH, this is more of a view about "cities" vs "rural area" and less about "red state" vs "blue state". Id much rather live in the most densely populated county in Nebraska than the least densely populated county of NY/CA in terms of health/opportunity/economy/etc.

Hah. Damn rum.
I did say I get why they do it.
> I don't think global warming cares who emits the carbon.

It doesn't. Most of the carbon in the atmosphere today was emitted by the western world though and it's up to them to show leadership and address the problem they created.
why is hydroelectric power not "renewable"?
> Thanks for the recommendation about the LWN subscription, I'll file that away as a serious consideration. For the meantime, I'm curious - does the subscriber-only content go free after a certain period, or do certain articles remain subscriber-only?

All subscriber-only content becomes public after one week. However, that one week often makes the difference between learning about things while they're still active areas of consideration and discussion, versus learning about things when they're over and done with. A subscription helps you learn about things you can still participate in.
First I'd get a tcpdump on one of the kubernetes boxes and see what's really going on at the network level.

One hunch is that ELBs don't like ephemeral ports and Kubernetes lives on them. Might be a mismatch here. ALBs are much more flexible with ports if that's an option.
You are correct that there are many more people in China and that being poor in China is worse then being poor in America, but the solution is not to export global competitiveness to other countries until their quality of living is on par with Americans. Once that ability goes away it will not come back, and as you can tell no one really cares about the plight of rural Americans who stand to be the biggest losers from the change
Take a Break
Email me back. Would still like to buy you a beer for your troubles.
Not really. It seems like it's basically making everyone their own ad server in a pull process. Seems like the only way to do ad serving if you want to keep all your data private no?

Otherwise they would be breaking the exposure protection if you sent your "intent" to their or another ad server.

I think the trick here is that they don't want to completely break the capability for people to make money off of serving ads and people seeing those ads. So if that's the case then making everyone their own ad server makes sense.
Yes we do need government intervention to innovate and solve this climate problem. The free market does not work here because the actual, real cost of greenhouse gas emissions is not correctly adjusted. The runaway warming effect is going to cost enormous sums of money to solve and will cost us dearly in life, ecosystems, and global stability.

Corporations have long shown that they are not interested in truth, or sustainable profits, or people's health, or the environment. In fact, due to lack of government intervention, corporations like Exxon spread harmful propaganda that decreases the public's awareness about critical issues like climate change.

Collective action is important because this is otherwise a failure of humanity to recognize a tragedy of the commons. We need to collectively agree to solve the problem, through governments, because otherwise individual actors like states and corporations will increase their own wealth through greed at the expense of others.
Uhuh... I tried to ask it for directions to Mom's tonight in the car and then for my mom's address by her full name and it failed on both attempts. It did however manage to find her Pinterest account.
As usual, another beautiful Stripe product page. Fantastic job! The product looks pretty awesome too.

In case any Stripe-people are lurking here, the scrolling on the example query modals (the ones you get from clicking on e.g. "How many active customers do we have?") is painfully slow -- as though it had only been tested for Mac touchpads, where scrolling quickly is easy.

I'm on Firefox/Ubuntu, using a shitty USB mouse with a scrollwheel.

P.S.: What demonym does Stripe use? "Striper" is a letter away from an embarrassing typo.
Chrome browser to block pop ups and autoplay video in 2018
Google already made Chromium completely open source. Anybody's free to fork it and move it in any direction they want.

As for Chrome, it's likely worth many 10's of billions of dollars. It would be absolutely indefensible to throw it away, especially when there are so many yet unexplored avenues to improve the web without requiring such massive and unneeded sacrifices.
For a developed country, the US has quite low GDP output per emissions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ratio_of_...

Only Australia (another country full of climate change denialism) and Israel fare worse. Canada is rather comparable.

On the other hand, some European countries (e.g. France, UK) are nearly double gdp per emissions. Even Germany with its relatively large industrial sector has far better GDP per CO2 ton.

Which TLD provider do you buy your domain from? I have bought two .me domains from namecheap and there will be many notifications before expiration.
That's the point, though — you're not actually identifying the biggest polluter. You're drawing a circle around a group of people who are not the biggest polluters by bulk or per capita and are on average way better then the country that just pulled out of the accord, and you're saying, "These people, they're the problem, and the best way to fight the problem of this group of moderate polluters is for the US to renege on its commitments to fight climate change."

This position is so seemingly unrelated to the facts that it really feels like you're looking for evidence to justify a pre-existing stance rather than examining the evidence dispassionately and arriving at a conclusion through reason. Are you sure there's not a little bit of that going on here?
I'm merely saying while California consumes a lot of energy from renewable sources, most of the energy generated in the state is dirty.

In the specific case of hydro, California has, for all intents and purposes, none. There is some pumped hydro storage (as far as anyone can tell, all the reasonable candidate sites are in use) but actual generation comes from WA which has plenty of water flow. This also means that WA deals with the environmental problems of these generator dams, and California does not.

California does have some wind and solar of course, in additional to its hydrocarbon plants. But lots of gas peakers.
That seems like a veiled sort of victim-blaming to me. The entire premise that "someone abusing opioids doesn't infringe on another's freedom" ignores the role of the medical system (and of the drug companies named in this lawsuit!) in leading patients into opiate addiction through poorly handled pain management.

Moreover, addiction is fundamentally a disease which acts upon the sufferer's ability to make free, rational decisions. In a very real sense, the addiction itself is "infringing on the freedom" of the addict, even if it hasn't killed them yet.
It's not really what you're after, but we're some folks trying to compete with Pinboard. I'm sure Maciej once tweeted something about it being a business that could be successful for a couple of indie devs, not a big VC-backed startup, and that's what we are... Although the successful part is still a ways off :)

Anyway, our thing is https://larder.io. Our angle is that we'll sync your github starred repos as bookmarks along with everything else you save.
Seems like these problems are solvable. Give the USA some corridors to the Pacific, going through low density areas. Keep the military bases and a unified defense strategy; California can pay USA for defense. US has military bases in lots of countries; why not in California?

What would you call them? Yes, they're poor [0].

United States	$57,436

China	$8,113

India	$1,723

It's easy to say that everyone should be held to the same standard when you're already the richest. The US uses 7032 kg of oil equivalent/capita, China 2029 kg/capita, India 614 kg/capita [1]. If you really want to hold everyone to the same standard you could cut your energy use by an order of magnitude and still use more than India. It's ridiculous to hear an american president try to paint developing countries as energy thirsty when the three most sold vehicles in the US are pickup trucks while most people in China and India can't afford any kind of car [2].

Like you said, it's a global problem. It won't be solved by whining about "unfair" economic terms and bragging about opening more coal mines.

Chicken can be $1 or 5+$ per pound depending on area and sales. So, your savings really depends.
The problem is that you solution would require telling developing nations that they're not allowed to reach the living standard you and I enjoy - how is that fair?
That doesn't mean we should just roll over and give it all to them.

You're not obliged to hand this data over when you don't use their services, and ideally, they wouldn't track you if you didn't want to be tracked, but facebook is pretty close to being ethically void, so they'll do whatever scummy thing they want, so you should by all means make it as difficult as possible for them to get data on you.

>Bitcoin used to be at $1, now it's at $1,xxx. What happened in between was a massive influx of newcomers.

That argument does not follow. An equivalent argument is:

"A house in San Francisco used to cost at $100k, now it costs $1000k. What happened was a massive influx of new people to San Francisco."

What happened is that the utility of a house in San Francisco changed and no one was willing to sell below $1000k.

This isn't very useful information. I'm sure Chernobyl and Fukushima have released more radioactivity than every coal fired plant that has ever been or ever will be.
With regards to 1), that isn't about global warming caring; that's about people caring. The current international system will not back a plan that prolongs the very low living standards that around half the world lives in. For example, ain't no way that India would sign a treaty agreeing to remain pre-industrial indefinitely.
Just because something doesn't exist, doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for it, especially if you're in journalism.

It's like saying "Nobody is perfectly ethical. So trying to be ethical is just being fake."

Also you are using a funny example to make a point that's not relevant to this instance. That has nothing to do with news organizations siding with certain political party and pretending to be unbiased.
