212 degrees Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water. They are just heating the box to the highest point that they can still have liquid water until normal conditions.

That being said... does that mean they heat the box to a lower temperature in higher elevations?
Not just the body, but also the layering or overlap of the wing segments which makes the sheathing mechanism apparent - that is very beautiful in itself (even if I don't know the right terms for these things). The typical image looks unnaturally stretched and two-dimensional in comparison.

I found the article aesthetically as well as scientifically persuasive.
There's no energy return on devices like this, they are pure energy sinks.

I would agree that this machine is likely many multiples of $2000, but you're not counting the cost of the land in your part either (which varies wildly), but that doesn't mean that it's not worth investigating to see if it can be made cost effective.
I guess for something that eventful to be more common knowledge. You can find articles from 2016, 2017 even "announcing" the images, but as far as the general public cares, USA was the only country on the moon.

Again, this is my personal bias and I live in the Mid-west so it may be different elsewhere
Except after taxes and expenses you're lucky if you're saving $1000/month at that day job. After 40 years, assuming 5% annual compounding on your investment, which requires to be almost entirely in risky investments like stocks, you could end up with 1.5 million. On the other hand, 3 million after taxes out of the initial windfall of 5 million, at 5% return would let you pay the exact same expenses while still growing by over $5000/month. You'd end up with $30 million at the end of 40 years. Huge difference.

Probably the approaching German army. The Germans launched their attack on Moscow in October, 1941, which would line up with the timeline.
I've heard a little about generics/templating/whatever-you-call-the-things-between-angle-brackets techniques in C++ from far away.

> The specialization example is the same as template specialization in C++.

This sounds very interesting to me, because you're saying it's accomplished entirely in the type system: do you have an example or a reference you can point me to?

I'm guessing there's a type-level tag for an algorithm, and the compiler is told how to combine tags corresponding to a sequence of operations on vectors that looks a certain way. Something like do_the_thing<t, DotWith<Self>, HasFastNorm<t>> = do_the_thing<Norm<t>>? (just thinking aloud in pseudo-C++, nothing to see here, move along) In that case, it would be closer to something using a function on types, which Haskell has in the form of type families.

It's mainstream in the sense that they are using mainstream tools and are publishing dozens of books with mainstream publishers like Springer. It comes out of mainstream institutions.

I'm just saying it's not merely some wacky fringe shit that orthodox scientists like to marginalize.
NB: I'm not American and I'm also very anti-war and anti-military in general.

>> In the long term, it's better to be alive than to be dead.

That's short term in my opinion. Long term could be hundreds of years. Generally these things don't happen in a generation. There is often some civil rights violations, followed be peaceful protesting which turns violent, followed by war, and then when it's in both sides interest, peace talks.

As someone from a country effected in this way I can assure you 'you need to fight for your freedom' is not an aphorism. In some cases it's necessary - to a degree. Unfortunately once violence begins it's very difficult to stop again before much more damage than was ever necessary is done. However in the long term (hundreds of years potentially) it can put an end to an evil which may have only gained in strength and oppression otherwise.

Why “Nonline” Is the New “Offline”
15" MBP without Touch Bar. Will pay Touch Bar price.
Yes.

Whether or not something is a black hole is dependent on its total mass and its radius. So anything can mathematically become a black hole if you compress it enough. The earth could be a black hole if it's total mass were compressed to something like 'less than the diameter of a grapefruit'. At that point space itself cannot contain the mass, physics breaks down and you get a singularity.

The moon would continue to orbit as it always did, since the moon's centre of mass is still exactly the same distance from the earth's centre of mass as it was before you pressed the 'compress button' on the north pole.

It takes incredible amounts of energy to cause this compression however. And this is why only the biggest stars become black holes. As the outward pressure of fusion diminishes because the hyrogen/helium/lithium/berylium/etc fuel runs out, the sheer gravitational pull of all that mass suddenly takes over and that inward momentum from all directions is enough to cause a singularity.

> You have been introduced to a new meaning of the term.

Says who? It's one thing to invent a brand new word, but it's another to modify a word with already established meaning to a slightly different meaning just because some people started using it the wrong way and it stuck. See the word "poignant" for another great example of the active bastardization of English.
Aesthetics are subjective and often driven by familiarity; the two options you present aren't exclusive alternatives, the second explains one reason why the first would be true rather than providing an alternative to it.
if using Chrome meant you needed to step on three kittens a day, I think I would agree with you.

but it's just browser preference, so the whole "moral" thing factors in less than whatever logo is printed on the pen I take from the junk drawer. I just want a pen that works.

Housekeep | Full stack engineer | London, UK | ONSITE https://housekeep.com

Housekeep has quietly taken over as the leading platform for cleaners working in London. We measure our success first by the number of cleaners that want to work with us, and second by the number of satisfied customers who keep booking them week after week. We have created some world-first technologies to grow these numbers month after month, and to increase our efficiency as we scale.

We've got good foundational tools in place. You would be joining early enough to influence tool-choice and architecture as we go forward. We're looking for someone who is excited to work on new features from day one.

Our stack:

- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework

- PostgreSQL (including PostGIS for its advanced geographic modelling capabilities)

- AngularJS

- A hybrid mobile app for cleaners developed using Ionic

Experience in any of these technologies would be a plus, but we're more interested in your track record of building great products for the web.

If you're interested in hearing more about what we're doing, our economics and growth, and the kinds of things you might get to work on, email me. I'm the CTO and you'd be talking to me directly. We don't use any recruiters.

Just to be clear: I have nothing against Open Source at all. Open Source is great.

I was just pointing out that Open Source in and of itself isn't a security protection. If you follow the same design you'll have the same design weaknesses, Open Source or closed. The "more eyes" thing, may be true, but I'd argue popularity is more important than license in determining the number of "eyes."

I'd also caution you in assuming an exploit would be against the server side. The server holds a bunch of really hard to decrypt blobs. The client is the real crown jewel. The client browser has all of the usernames/passwords decrypted, so if you were either able to deliver an "evil" extension update, or find an exploit in the existing extension, you could extricate those credentials.

That's the real rub: You turn off extension updates and you're more secure against "evil" extension updates; but you're now more vulnerable to situations where a bug is discovered in the legitimate extension and the organisation pushes a real update to patch that. Auto-updaters in particular are both a huge benefit and a huge security hole.
That's relatively recent, though. Until the 90s and PGP, encryption was very much under the government's control, and regular citizens definitely did not have a "right to encrypt". The Clipper Chip launched in 1993.

IMO the battle over privacy and crypto is well documented by Steven Levy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto:_How_the_Code_Rebels_Be...
I'd like to second this.

I've been running Plex off of a Freenas server franksteined together from spare parts (from pc upgrades) for nearly 10 years now. The Plex clients I use are Roku, PS3, App, and Browser. I've never had significant problems, I even ended up buying a lifetime Plex Pass.
IPFS. I'm not a go developer, but I was easily able to dive into the code in many of their repos, understand the code and make fixes which were merged.
https://github.com/multiformats/
https://github.com/ipfs
Seconding the Hashicorp projects. I learned a lot about HTTP from reading the Vault code.

go-kit and oklog are also fantastic. Peter Bourgon has written a good article about Go best practices and his open source projects really aim for clean, readable code.

Also join the go slack if you haven't yet.
So, about "locations"... can you handle my free-form post now? (should be easy except possibly the Florida location, since all are in the first sentence) If not, how would I keep your regex from lumping them together? (I tried various things) Perhaps this would be more reliable if I could end the post with a set of latitude/longitude pairs.

Three years ago, our local Spanish operator Movistar deployed the 4G mobile network and started offering an impressive 75 Mbps download speed and 25 Mbps upload speed.

At that point, the largest data plan you could get from them was 1 Gb per month (now I think you can get 2 or 3 Gb, not more).

This meant that if you used the connection to its capacity, you would hit the monthly cap in around 1 minute 50 seconds. With the current data plans it may last you 5 minutes or so, not more. With other operators you may get up to 8 Gb, i.e., around 15 minutes.

With the current pricing, this is the most useless technology ever. I don't know why they even bother (well, it suppose it probably has some advantages at their end as well).

ABOUT THOUGHTWORKS:

As software delivery consultants, we work with a variety of clients that hire us to solve complex and interesting problems. Each client we work with gives us a new perspective and a broad exposure to different technologies, which leads to a pretty unlimited learning environment. If you have a passion for exploring new technologies, chances are you’ll fit right in.

Our Lead Mobile Engineers partner with our clients to define their mobile strategy and are hands-on in building applications that can scale an enterprise system. We create enterprise mobile applications that are clean, well-tested, scalable and deployed in a CI/CD pipeline.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Ideal candidates have been working in the mobile space for a few years, have led a few mobile teams, can lead mobile strategy, and care about best practices like testing and continuous delivery. We are particularly interested in engineers with native iOS experience, especially Swift.

We have a strong preference for candidates with previous full stack development experience, as the nature of consulting means working on projects with a huge variety in scale, scope and technology. However, we are open to considering candidates without previous full stack experience if there is a strong desire to learn from our full stack developers, DevOps engineers, etc.

We work almost exclusively on client site providing a mix of delivery and consulting services, so you’ll travel extensively as part of your role.

I'm not sure, but I remember seeing some research into using it for Haskell stream fusion (can't find the video, sorry).

I believe that the basic idea was that not all rewrites end up being equally fast ( a * b * c can be fused into ab * c, but maybe a * bc is faster). Trying all the combinations is an option in theory, but you get a combinatorial explosion so you normally dont get far in practice. Enter machine learning. I'm not sure how successful they were, but I imagine that the same sort of thing could be applied to SIMD.
