>They are territorial.

You're not kidding. When I bought my house it had sat empty for a couple of years and a family of raccoons had added it to their territory. Closing up vents helped, but once a year or so they'd return and try again. I'm just guessing but I think the mothers would still try to work the metal grating out of the vents when they were pregnant.

I didn't really want to kill them and frankly trapping them seemed like a lot of work, plus they had fleas and potentially carry rabies, not to mention possibly having a parasite in their feces. I didn't want to hurt them and I didn't really want to get near them. As with most anything else you can buy the solution on the internet: puma pee. A liberal sprinkling of the foul smelling stuff ran off me, my wife and the raccoons. We can't smell it any more but apparently the raccoons can because they haven't returned.
There is nothing illegal in this, if that's what you are suggesting.

There are different reasons why somebody might decide to sell debt at a discount. One reason, for example, is that bankruptcy proceedings, especially international ones are super messy and expensive. If you are not dealing with these things on a regular basis, it might be better to book a small loss now and get and immediate cash flow instead of waiting for decades.

That is because in the iOS app store, Apple is distributing the app. And they are not willing to obey the obligations of the (L)GPL regarding offering the recipients the source code they have the right so. So Apple has banned code with such licenses from the appstore.
What I like most, is that per default it barely looks different than many other modern pages for me. It's blank as the iframe (for modern pages some required js) is loaded from a different domain [0] and uMatrix blocks that.

Not everybody can become a good speaker, granted. Training and experience helps a lot, though. But if you don't feel comfortable on stage then by all means, don't force yourself to.

There are loads of other ways to share your knowledge. Maybe you want to try podcasting, blogging, vlogging, writing articles for relevant magazines/web sites?

Heck, you could even make funny songs to get your message out :-) As a speaker though, I feel at home on stage and the feedback has been positive over all the years, so I feel comfortable with being a speaker.

As always, do what you makes you feel good, don't force yourself into something you don't like. The audience will notice immediately and some audiences can be very hostile. Most of the time though they are very forgiving in my experience.
4 Amazing Reasons to Live Life Like a Beginner
Yup, I'm practically bald at this point (metaphorically speaking) :-) My recoveries from non-performing corporate debt in India, so far is less than 10% of the total value (capital+interest). But I'm a small creditor. Folks like me don't have much of a say in what happens in company law board proceedings (This is part of the bankruptcy process in India). What I'd like to see, is for the large lenders, like the State Bank of India, take control of the NPA, remove previous owners and management, appoint better managers and recover the value of the assets. Many NPAs (defaulting companies) are really sitting on valuable real assets like mining concessions, telecom spectrum and urban land holdings. These assets should NOT be sold for a song. That way overall recoveries can improve from a dismal sub-10% number to something like 25-40%. This will help taxpayers (less printing money to recapitalize banks), domestic banks and creditors (higher recoveries), and employees (fewer job losses). This has been done in the past very well (e.g. Satyam) and can be done again if the government shows the political will to do so.
There are two great books that helped me do this.

First, the Mom Test, it is very short, and it talks about what types of questions to ask and what types to avoid. The main focus is avoiding the introduction of bias. You want good data you can work with.

Second book is Running Lean. It has a great script that you can adapt to the industry you are targeting. It also gives pointers on conducting the interview.

Together, these two short books will get you started.

I was playing Rocket League while trying to get into other games (Cities: Skylines, Rome: Total War) but I would always fall back to Rocket League.

You're begging the question, assuming you have to represent a particular unsigned type to start with. What's the problem that you're trying to solve?

I appreciate that e.g. particular image formats are defined in terms of unsigned integers of particular sizes, but parsing binary formats seems like a specialized use case that's not worth distorting the whole language over (and it already involves fiddling with endianness, so you can't directly use the "standard" version of a given-sized integer when parsing).

Yes, but emscripten can compile to both (with or without using the new native LLVM WebAssembly backend). It's stretching the word polyfill, but emscripten users have pretty close to a turnkey solution for producing code that detects WebAssembly support and falls back to asm.js.

I'd argue the exact opposite. Our sites these days are sluggish at best. Ads do their best to stop you from doing whatever you went to the site to do. Designs focus on flashy effects and pictures rather than content.

Whenever I click a link, I wonder what kind of crap I'll be greeted by this time, hoping that It'll be plain text and nothing else.
A lot of good advice, but I personally disagree with the slides not standing on their own. For me, slides + speaker notes should be able to stand on their own. It requires extra work and effort, but I believe the results are generally better because people can then consume the material the way they want.

However, like your guidelines, this is my personal one.
In most cases, being a poor speller isn't a big deal. That's what proofreading is for. It doesn't matter how you get to the correct spelling, as long as you do. You are human, and if you fight your nature instead of working with it, you're going to,have a bad time.
I work at an elementary school and I absolutely love this concept.

My only concern is that the speed of execution is rather quick (and rather difficult to control since... you know... gravity). Besides very trivial examples, I think younger children will likely have a difficult time "debugging" and reasoning their way to a solution. The "stopper" piece can certainly be helpful for students to use as they slowly build out their solution, though, and so that may be sufficient.

I've always had success with toys or other instructional materials that have tried to make computational logic a physical, tangible thing for students. There are plenty of toys in this category that have a physical element to it yet it is simply a by-product of the computation that is still "hidden" in software. There's a reason why Papert was so fascinated by gears. I'm incredibly excited about this and can't wait to try it out.

That's not really accurate. Goldman bought the bond from the original owner and is now a creditor.

They can and will talk to the issuer about payment and have every right to demand full payment -- the obligation to pay is not diminished by the secondary market value.

In my personal case, I had an opportunity to buy tax exempt New York General Obligation bonds at a discount during the 2008 financial crisis. I did so, although New York isn't Venezuela and the discount wasn't 50%, the interest payments are based on the originally issued amount and if I hold the bond to maturity I will get the full principal.

As an individual with 1 bond I don't have the leverage of an investment bank, but I'm still a creditor and will be get paid in the event of some serious financial crisis.

"No, I don't expect the military to turn a profit because the military is not an entity that is expected to be self-sufficient."

Your expectations about what is and what is not supposed to be self sufficient are not defined. What is wrong with "does it serve a public purpose?"

"As for the subsidies, I do not find it "perfectly acceptable" at all. That just means the cost is spread to non-users and society as a whole pays more for the service than we would otherwise."

It's the best way to fund things which do benefit society as a whole - like a well functioning banking system.

Furthermore, an anti-competitive private market (of which banking qualifies like I said before) also levies a cost spread to both non-users and society. Having the FIRE sector consume 1/3 of GDP is not an efficient allocation of resources and this deadweight loss impacts everybody.

"Take public transportation. The services near me are cheaper than the private companies because they are subsidized by the government so they can charge less. All this means is that people who drive their own vehicles and don't use public transportation end up paying for their non-use of the public transportation system."

Which is surely entirely fair because they impose greater externalities on the rest of us - both with traffic and pollution?

"Also, the employees of the public transportation system have wages, benefits, and retirement packages that are far superior to the private sector ones. Guess who pays for all that? They are getting special treatment far above what the free market allows."

There's no such thing as a free market. It's a myth. A fairy tale. There's markets and market pressures.
I didn't read the article, but I have been trying to stay vaguely informed off and on.

The two 'cons' that really need to be addressed:

* Average consumers need /access/ to purchase working solutions (which means some prosumers and some developers will).

* Working solutions probably need to include: DisplayLink, USB, Ethernet, and /maybe/ WiFi (the later two /could/ just be USB devices) ports on the hardware. Standard bulk IO (like SATA, PCI(e) bus) would be nice to have, but not required.

My wife always says that growing up, all her dad and brother used to talk about at the dinner table was "I should've invested in that stock when it was cheaper!" or "I should've sold when it was higher!"

I feel that way about Bitcoin/others. It's always regret all the way. It's like buying a stock.

I had a chance to mine lots of bitcoins in 2011... never got around to doing it. It's now the same as "I should've bought Apple stock the day before the rumored iPhone debuted, like I told friends to do"
Is anyone using RISC-V in commercial, shipping projects? If so, was wondering what the process was to convince management to go this route over the huge choice of other platforms out there?
This is roughly my cycle. I'm finding that step 10 gets stronger and stronger. After my first talk there was no noticeable step 10. Several years and many talks later, I'm currently in step 10 and I think I might really never get to step 11 again.
Suppose, I buy a bond at 5% interest over 1 year and it defaults after making most of the payments. If I effectively only get 1% interest the IRS says I still owe taxes on that 1% as profit.
also, apple do a really good job on compilers etc to make it easier to write code and systems that jump between systems quite well. Lots of people dev on windows without using the latest tools from Microsoft this is just not how it works with apple.

I hope you're an architect-level or at least getting there. I kind of feel sad for some architects though, they rarely get to code anymore, their existence is meetings, but presumably their ability to coordinate and prioritize the big picture outweighs having them apply their coding chops. For coders that can't give up coding it's a self-limiting move to resist that direction, lots of companies seem to have pressure that to advance you have to do 'less'.

When you do your big prototype solutions is it usually something you toss over the fence to the team that now takes on the rest of the dev/qe responsibility or do you try to work closely with one or two people on that team as you build it? I mostly ask because another sort of altruistic (or selfish if you're just killing time until the next round of meetings) thing you can do with your role is go around dropping mana on heads-down coding grunts by working with them directly on something; they'll probably have a nice feeling of appreciation like this person, who they aren't quite sure does what but must be very valuable, is taking time to work with them, and hopefully you teach them a few useful things from your deep knowledge to boot.
I have two side projects:

Breakneck Install[0]. I almost hate posting this because what is up on the site is old and I'm finishing up a re-design and re-write which is changing the feature set dramatically. It is going to create MSI files now instead of EXE by using WiX as a backend. The first version of the new release will be able to write to registry, the ability to allow downgrades and possibly setting environment variables (on top of the typical files, license text and setting the Add/Remove Programs Icon for your application).

No there is no seek time in SSDs at all, there is simply a constant latency. And no RAM does not have seek times either. The term "seek" is not some loose and fungible term that can be applied to different subsystems.

A seek is an agreed upon industry concept. A seek is composed of the following components[1]:

• start-up: the arm is accelerated, typically with constant torque (force) until it reaches half of the seek distance, or a fixed maximum velocity;

• coast: for a long seek, the arm will be allowed to coast across most of the distance at its maximum speed;

• slowdown: the arm is brought to rest, hopefully exactly on top of the desired track;

• settle: the disk controller uses servo positioning information to fine-tune the position of the head over the desired track on the selected surface.

Additionally a write seek takes slightly longer than a read seek on a rotating disk, this is because of settling described above. This has no corollary in SSDs.

Rotating disks also have something known as an Average latency which is calculated as the time it takes for the sector of the disk being accessed to rotate into position under a read/write head. The reason I bring this up is because seek and latency are two distinct measurements on mechanical disks and it is the latency measurement which could be applied to SSDs as it is a constant, it mechanical disk this would be gated on the rotational speed of the disk(RPMs)but this is a constant.

And the reason this all matters is that
in order to calculate the average IOPS on a mechanical disk you use the following formula:

Divide 1 by the sum of the average latency in ms and the average seek time in ms (1 / (average latency in ms + average seek time in ms).

This formula is obviously meaningless in the context of SSDs.

And average seek time is also well understood to mean:

The average of all possible seek times which technically is the time to do all possible seeks divided by the number of all possible seeks, but in practice it is determined by statistical methods or simply approximated as the time of a seek over one-third of the number of tracks. This formula goes back to IBM and the Winchester drives I believe.

So no in SSDs there is no such thing as a seek. There is simply a latency and that latency is a constant.

It doesn't generate free money. On the contrary, it generates very expensive money.

For this operation, the central bank received about $840 million in cash from GS, and PDVSA must now pay back $2.8 billion plus interest to GS.
