I don't see how you can ask people to self report in a circumstance like this and get anything but cognitively assonant responses.

If you are hemmed in by poverty, location, and financial obligations, you are going to convince yourself that your circumstances are acceptable to you, whether or not that is actually the case, or you won't survive in it, and be around to make a self-report.
So you don't believe a person should be able to pay their debt to society?
The magic of silicon valley is an ecosystem where both people and money flock to the hottest ideas. Big companies like AT&T and GM are the antithesis to this.
The point was that there are N other services you use when running a subscription service, that all integrate out of the box with Stripe and not at all with the cheaper alternative.
The fact that it claims to check spelling and grammar seems suspect to me because if it really were even at least as good as Microsoft word at good at checking spelling and grammar they would have spun it out and sold it as a spelling and grammar checker instead of as a complete packaged writing analysis tool. This makes me doubt the validity of their more ambitious claims like checking for quality of "ideas" and analytics.

It seems to me that there is a much easier way of automating logical reasoning tests. Just make it a standardize multiple choice and have a machine check the answers - the LSAT is probably one of the most successful analytic and logical reasoning test and it has been done this way for a while.
Thanks for the YouTube link: I enjoyed your talk.
I tried to put it more delicately!
For the syntax, just take a little time to review the Clojure syntax. I guarantee you that the syntax is as simple as it gets for a programming language!! You might happen to like it.

Or you might happen to hate it, but, either way, I guarantee you that you will understand it quickly.
Universities often have one or more chiller plants that cool multiple buildings on campus (also boiler plants).

Very large building-sized boiler and chiller plants served each half of my campus (probably less than a square mile in total). I'm not sure it would work at city scale.
I agree with debaserab2. We use both PayPal Merchant Processing and Stripe. PayPal processes for us at 2.2% + $0.30. We use Stripe for the smaller charges where the $0.30 is prohibitive. There are many other options out there too. For any business to stay competitive it's important to keep costs down. Merchant fees are an easy one, do some research. For small businesses, the integration work isn't that hard. I suppose below a certain threshold it just isn't worth worrying about, but I would be wary of being too locked in with stripe or any other business for that matter.

Oh yes, yes we do.
> how do I find eigenvalues and eigenvectors? The function is called ev!

Why not call that function eigen-vectors instead of ev?

Some library authors need to be smacked on the head with a programming book and learn how to design sensible API's.

Seriously, Clojure is typically easy on the eyes but this is just garbage:

(require '[uncomplicate.neanderthal
[core :refer [col entry nrm2 mv scal axpy copy mm dia]]

axpy? mm? dia? nrm2?
Yes but can I easily redirect my inlaws?
Book looks awesome. I guess the hardest thing is naming things and I would think you should put in a subtitle to the book that would describe that it has technical information too (Practical and Business issues you will find creating web apps). At first I expected some kind of fluffy book but you have an incredible amount of detail in this!
JAMstack vs. Isomorphic Server Side Rendering
Note that even on Windows, you still have to deal with the shell interpreting what you type.

The biggest downside of the Windows way, though, is that there stops being one answer to "how do I pass arbitrary strings on the command line to another process"?

Sure, most programs use CommandLineToArgvW but it's also hard to find information on how a particular program parses its command line.

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalik... is an overview of the fun that is command line handling on Windows.
To be fair, as a native speaker it still confused me off the bat, haha.

> Are these documents being stored through a third party email or web server? Is there end-to-end encryption?

This is something that can be learned with a few minutes research, so raising it as "questioning their methods" seems like FUD.

The answer is yes, there is end-to-end encryption handled via Tor. Using SecureDrop, the same tool as the Washington Post and New York Times. Treating that as some kind of distinction between these organizations is absurd.

Enforced prison labor is slavery, no ifs ands or buts. It must be stopped. This is an Americanized version of Stalin's gulags.
Maybe they could have designed it to have the ability to do it either way, i.e. based on a flag of some sort, the Windows either parses the args (does the shell-level interpretations such as of quotes and other metacharacters), or does not; in either case, it then passes the (parsed or unparsed) args to the command. That flag would have to be understood and acted on by Windows, though, not the individual commands, since the action has to happen (or not) before the commands gets the args. Might be clunky, not thought through the idea in detail.
All these will work only if all people in the company follow it otherwise it is useless. For instance I might be very good at setting agenda, preparation, if other people are not following it is essentially becomes moot.

Oh even if DO offered an S3 competitor, i'd still have them going to S3 as well. I'd just have them also going to DO's solution, so restores would be MUCH faster, and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
But that's all the difference it takes. Awesome management makes shitty jobs awesome, and shitty management turns awesome jobs to shit. I experienced it both ways.

Corollary: managing people is a shitty job where you are on your own. You have to be really awesome to not screw it up.

As long as I'm in a field that I love (Software Engineering), and there's a demand is above supply for engineers I will always look for a job that lets me work on projects that are interesting. If after 2 years of employment I don't feel satisfied, I will look for a new job (even though I could stay and keep making money).

I find this utopian. Another strange thing: "Manage significant others". Maybe it's just me, but I have exactly 1 significant other.
I don't see why that follows, considering they're two different things. In any case I do think prisons themselves are one of the blights of modern society.
The old Bell Labs building is, finally, under a revitalization and reuse of the workspace called Bell Works (http://bell.works/neighborhood/). Based on job listings it seems NVIDIA's AI/Autonomous driving is happening there. As someone who lives close by, but commutes to NYC, I can only hope to see more big name companies move in.

As for Fort Monmouth, pretty much all the offices were moved to Aberdeen as part of the last BRAC. As you stated there was a lot of work being done there related to communications & intelligence (I believe a lot of GPS work was out of there). It was a real hit to the local community when it shut down since it happened in the middle of the housing crisis. A lot of families were forced to short sale or do long commutes. The space is finally up purchase, but sadly it will be getting used to build more condos & a shopping center. There were rumors of Monmouth University and Rutgers wanting to get access to the space but were declined.

This is pretty cool but to be pedantic this is actually API Gateway proxying requests to AWS Lambda not just a Lambda function. Zappa and other Serverless Frameworks sort of obfuscate the fact that API Gateway is setup in front of Lambda but that is what is happening here. Again, cool example.
I must admit that I don't know the difference in temperature from inside to outside - for half of the year (say May to October) we don't have heating on and we don't even have air conditioning (I don't know anyone who has air conditioning at home in Scotland).

The main difference I'd see between inside and outside is the lack of rain and wind in the former - temperature difference is secondary.

You are responding as if I claimed that Greenwald's association with the Intercept implies that therefore it is insecure, but I did not. There seems to be a problem with logical quantification under negation in your response.
I founded this after bumping over and over again into (usually non-tech) people just wanting to get something out, now. It's a lot harder for non-technical people to test the waters, and it often includes a lot of grinding work just to get a freelance team up and running.

The thing here is that I work with the clients on their MVP scope so it can fit our offering ($5000 & 30 days), a thing that usually makes the MVP better, more focused.

Since I operate so fast some things can't be promised (like code quality or a spec document), but that's what the money back guarantee is for.

Hopefully this will help more talented people release and test stuff instead of sitting in a room writing specs.
Because when you string a couple of those please-compute-eigen-vectors-and-also-eigen-values in nested calls, you easily end up with a multi-page text in no time.

Besides, the standard way to call eigenvectors/eigenvalues function is ev in LAPACK - sgeev/dgeev.
I vaguely was aware of this, but whatever the reason, it's ridiculous that in this day and age of gigabytes of memory, I still can't use shell wildcards in directories with a decently large number of files.
> That would have been enough.

While you have some good points, I think hanging your argument on a 'would' is not really convincing :)
You're not adding cool, but removing heat. And you're not doing it for the entire volume, but for the 2m layer nearest the floor.

Those high ceilings make it easier to remove heat from that bottom layer, especially with drop ceilings, plenum spaces, insulating spaces, and fans. You are cooling a larger volume of air, but it is not to a uniform 80 degF. The higher layers will be cooled to a lesser extent than the lower layers, so the AC burden is somewhat less overall than if the entire room volume were cooled to a uniformly low temperature.
I disagree. There are a lot more meaningless jobs these days that are totally unfulfilling. I've done manual labour and as hard on the body as it was it was more fulfilling than coding another photo/social app, even though I was certainly not passionate about the manual labour. Doing the coding job felt more akin to picking things off a conveyer belt in a factory for 8 hours. It did nothing for the body or the mind. I think there are more and more of those kinds of BS jobs now than there were in the past than provide little to no stimulation.
Hmm, how do you mean? Mount an EC2 volume on a Linode server? The latency would be horrible.
Oh god it happens to me sometimes. I have NO idea why. I need to check.

P versus NP isn't hard to explain if some of the problems are first familiar with the person you're explaining it to.

"It's very easy to check if sudoku is correct, right? You just go line by line, box by box. But isn't it fairly hard to solve?"

You'd have to go more in-depth than that, you're right: there's not a good one or two sentence explanation.

But, explaining that "some things are really easy to check if they are correct, but really hard to solve: what does easy and hard mean? generally, it means it takes either a short time (easy) or a long time (hard)" isn't too bad.
I've been playing with this a bit, I posted my findings on a tutorial here: http://jamesonquave.com/blog/core-nfc-tutorial-for-nfc-on-io...
Renaming "ev" to "eigen" will result in multi pages of text?

And even so, we know today it's preferable to have longer but easier to read code than this kind of garbage.

> sgeev/dgeev.

That's just as bad.
I've often thought that a lot of the high-brow analysis put into art was junk. Just people taking dots and connecting them with shreds of evidence existent in the art. Confirmation bias masquerading as analysis. It's nice to see an artist agreeing with that viewpoint.

I should clarify that I don't mind when the context of a piece is explained. I like knowing about where the artist was when a work was created; what was happening around them that might have influenced the work. It's when that jumps to "and this small detail is about this particular thing that was happening" -- and always spoken with confidence -- that I feel like the train jumps the rails.

I completely agree with "Deciding the right attendee list ..." I do get invited to lots of meetings where I am not needed, I end up joining them because sometimes refusal may seem rude.
Amazon now has Walmart and other discount brick and mortar stores in the crosshairs. In 2013 Americans spent $76 million in food stamps and something like 28% of that was spent at Walmart. It sounds like a pretty significant piece of pie that Amazon has its eyes on.

> You don't want to use a data serialization library that is so poorly written that it likely corrupts stuff sooner or later, do you? Or a crypto library that documents almost nothing and requires you to review x86 assembler to find how parameters are actually interpreted cough?

If it corrupts data and has terrible documentation it wouldn't be popular. It's usually very obvious from the community around the library if it's got major problems or not.
Maybe a hub-and-spoke type of setup like Bell Labs had?

Cal Newport wrote a bit about it in Deep Work [1] and I think it sounds like a potential way to get the best of both worlds.

> Should filesystems be making up for our Unicode shortcomings?

Absolutely, yes. File names are text by their very definition; that we've been treating them as "bags of bytes" is a historical tragedy. At the very least, file names need to be displayed, as text, to the user, so they should be stored as text, that is in some well-defined encoding, and yes, it should be the job of the filesystem driver / kernel to enforce that it's not writing garbage out to disk.

Reinventing that wheel in every system that in any way interacts with the filesystem is bad engineering, and doomed to fail.

Further, I don't see why the typical user should need to know or understand the differences between 'e\N{COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT}' and '\N{LATIN LOWERCASE E WITH ACUTE ACCENT}'. Likewise, I don't see why each and every piece of code should be forced to handle that. Developers will get this wrong. In fact, the article seems to say even Apple can't get it right, in that Finder will not correctly show the directory contents in some instances, and fails to open files in some instances, telling users the file "doesn't exist".
I went to school in Northern Wisconsin, and we had a bunch of people from the Caribbean living in my dorm freshman year. There was one thermostat that controlled steam delivery for each floor of the building, and then the radiators in each room did their own thing.

The people from the Caribbean would turn the heat up to 80 degrees all of the time. It got to the point where the thermostats were pulled off the wall in the middle of the night by to keep them from being turned up.

I think probably 3/4 of the building had their windows open all winter, even when it was -20 below outside, just to keep the temp livable. The thing is that it doesn't do much with steam heat, since those radiators can pump out more heat than you can possibly imagine.

The physical plant ended up putting the thermostat within a metal box that was grouted to the wall.

I can understand though. The first time it hits 40 degrees after the summer, I'm freezing, but if it hits 40 in January I'm walking around with shorts on. It was still kind of funny to listen to them describe what being really cold is like: "I'm on fire! Why do I feel like I'm on fire from being cold!"

I'm sure I sound equally hilarious when I'm somewhere hot though.
Yes, I'm imagining 1-5 stars with text descriptions to help ratings be consistent, similar to how software like http://mnemosyne-proj.org/features handles ratings.
Now if only my property manager could get with the beat and take electronic payments ... I still have to bike over to their office and drop off a physical check every month because they don't take anything else.
I keep looking for opportunities in Bell Works. I would gladly give up my 2 hour commute from the shore area to NYC to work in Holmdel. I could even ride my bike.

Yes, this has been for ages, but I never saw an explanation on how to read the dots. I thought they were to be more subtle or more concealed, but they are very evident!!

As pointed out, probably there is more steganography being put into devices / software by the NSA/etc (tinfoil hat nonwithstanding); that will probably insert things like meaningful whitespace with information about the source.

The article is also very relevant because we do need tools free from such fingerprinting. It makes me want to use only and only open source for all my documents. Even for file storage!
But eigen-what? There are multiple subtle variations of these functions.

On the other hand, you are free to choose libraries that you use. There is surely no shortage of libraries than invent those "proper" names.

Interesting, didn't know that there were 4 groups. I do remember INT 21H and setting a value in a register to specify what syscall you want run. Turbo Pascal had some support for assembly and even register handling, IIRC, so you could write such low-level programs in it. Also had absolute memory addressing which could be used for anything where you need to manipulate fixed, known memory addresses, such as video RAM.

Arguably, the fact that you don't have to trust a random third party extension code is a perk. And since this is a pretty straight up text file format it works off of, it's easy to roll your own or customize it as you wish.

I am trying to come up with a suitable analogy to illustrate how stupid this is.

"The choice of APFS is that a filename is a sequence of bytes"

I don't think that is true. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Fi...:

"Filenames in APFS are encoded in UTF-8 and aren’t normalized."

So, names must be UTF-8; not every sequence of bytes is valid UTF-8. What they removed from the file system are the Unicode normalization tables.
