I don’t think it’s that the author likes the behavior, but that the author has in mind some rule where features can’t be deprecated unless it’s possible to write a purely mechanical migration tool. Not sure where that rule comes from or why it exists.
>... and because they are busy people, they type bing.com into their browser instead.

All major tech companies accompany their services with user accounts that hold a treasure trove of personal information, and that users are likely to be invested in to some degree. Facebook (the subject of the article) happens to be the best example of this, because you can't simply go to some other site and have all your personal connections be present; the lock-in factor is very high there.

Moreover, if tech companies coordinated their efforts, simply using the competitor as your example suggests would not work.
He had one Congress that wasn't controlled by Tea Party fanatics. With that Congress, he was able to pass universal healthcare (a feat that eluded even Bill Clinton) and Dodd-Frank while simultaneously battling a financial crisis that would have gotten much worse otherwise. The things that armchair politicians think presidents should squander political capital on (remember, marijuana legalization still isn't popular in most of America) astound me. With the number of ACA repeal attempts he had to fight, that Obama finished his presidency with only a single government shutdown is a wonder in itself.
Most likely Mauritius would lease Diego Garcia to the US, just like the UK did, hopefully while negotiating a much better deal for the Chagossians.

It is not at all clear to me what lies behind Britains reluctance to concede here. They know very well they did wrong – violating their own rules – lopping off the territory in the first place.
What if there really isn't any conspiracy behind the EU stance here, what if they simply vote what they believe is right?
Not wrong, just not what you're used to. Oh, and not to mention the `1`-based indexing! Such heresy!

R excels at two things: statistical packages and generating reports/papers (the rmarkdown ecosystem is simply fantastic at this). If either of those two things are the key features of your product it makes sense to use R for the rest of the glue code. I write R daily and I'm very productive with the language (having built a small ecosystem of tools to aid me with the mundane stuff).

If you're willing to give R a chance I highly recommend you check out syberia.io - it's a framework like rails/django for creating statistical models in R and packaging them into API containers.
Thanks EU! The EU is our only hope for sane antidote against a US/UK power monopoly.

So Kissinger said there was "only" 90 000 people there, and 1500 are in Britain... What happened to the other 88 500 people?

They went to Mauritius and the Seychelles, apparently

With so many people in a country, you will always find interesting anecdotes. The problem is, you can't wait for everybody to get ready to make a move. By that logic, India should not invest in ISRO when there are still villages without electricity.
Insufficient data for the headline's conclusion. The market is complex; show me vacancy rates historically, along with the average rent and unemployment rates. Show me the vacancy rate for housing. Driving along a stretch of highway and seeing signs without even bothering to interview the landlords of those properties is just plain lazy.

Stopped reading at that point.
It's the short phone number to dial to get access to the portal where you enter the name of the service you want. There were different ones with different pricing. 3614 was cheaper (no revenue for the service I think), 3615 was regular and 3617 was expensive (you could buy stuff, like games by staying online).

While most services were accessible through this portal (operated by the French telco), you could also dial a "regular number" to access some services à la BBS.

We accept this kind of behaviour in our own nation, but then act like the EU are somehow 'impure' for acting in kind. The UK are playing a diplomatic game and so are the EU. Sometimes people disagree on what is best for the EU, or UK. That is hardly a substantive argument in favour of Brexit.
bind() is still the cleaner way to write it.

Seeing std::bind tells me that the intention is to create a function that does nothing but call a second function with certain parameters fixed.

A lambda expression is far more general, so when I see it I have to think about what it's doing. There's also a subtle implication that the author chose the more general technique for a reason. It'll raise the questions, "Why isn't this using std::bind()?", "Is there something else going on here?", etc.

Off hand, I can't think of a reason why the bind would be any less efficient than the lambda.
My guess would be AI/automation.

An obvious thing today but not sixty years ago.

Europe and the EU are getting conflated more and more. It's kind of like how if someone said he's American, you wouldn't assume he's from Brazil, even though technically Brazilians are American since they're from the American continent or continents.
If you write down mindmap equivalent in computer and then generate graph that you look, it's just neat illustration.

Mindmap as a study method relies to hand-eye coordination. Scrawling and fudging with a pen is a way to memorize things. Good mindmap is little messy and result of some effort. It's also original creation and looking at it after some time brings the subject back into memory.
Off-topic: The plover.com domain caught my eye. He is the author of 'Higher Order Perl'[1][2], which is to this date, one of my most favorite programming language books I've read and my first (and imho, best) introduction to functional programming.

Telugu's a spectacular language - it's ancient, it's spoken by tens of millions of people, it has its own cinema industry and an enormous literary corpus reaching back to before English even existed... and yet almost nobody outside the subcontinent even knows it exists.
Apart from the other points, I feel that this would have the opposite of the intended effect. The existence of morality police would compromise other motivations to be moral, in the same way that offering small amounts of money for blood donations causes donations to decrease (because the social kudos from doing it for free is a larger reward than the money).
Possible reasons:
Diet (any non-red meat eating diet for nutrient deficiencies, or too much meat due to reliance on fast food),
drug/stimulant use (YOLO culture?), More sedentary lifestyle (Desk jobs, social media for 'entertainment'),
Lack of resources to take time off from work (too many hours + high rents = no time/money to do have non-home hobbies)

The interesting statistic was the urban regions were less pronounced than the suburbs, which may indicate something either cultural or economic that may drive this change.

Either way, it's unfortunate. We're living in the best possible time in history, and many millennials are being impacted by something which - in some cases - may be completely avoidable.
Interesting to me -- as a kid, the only place I smelled lily flowers was at funerals. Their pungent and slightly unpleasant odor I thought was enbalming fluid, or something else associated with dead bodies. I can't smell them to this day without immediately associating them with the pallid, sunken skin of dead, elderly white folks.
I think it's the difference between brand names and non-brand names. Tylenol is a brand-name thus tries to distinguish itself from the generics on the shelf next to it.

This happens in the UK/IE as well.

As a comparison.

Panadol (UK/IE) brand name for acetaminophen: https://www.google.de/search?q=panadol&tbm=isch

Walzyr. US "generic" anti-histamine: https://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/419979/450.jpg

Claratin. US Brandname anti-histamine: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91rArvDAp9L...

The US also tends not to have true generic drugs, but 'store brand' generics. So a store will carry Tylenol + a single store brand generic, instead of Tylenol + 5 different companies generic brands.

Brits just want to swagger about and feel honourable. Look at how they dealt with the return of Hong Kong to China. Pomp, ceremony, wonderful! This grubby little problem just goes against that pride. So we just ignore it.

Bottom line, unless everyone in a community agrees to accept currency X, the external government can shut currency X down by not allowing it to be exchanged for the main one.

One thing that hasn't been suggested yet is the lack of point of sale support for cryptocurrencies.

From my comment above: I am not suggesting that we should make it legal to murder someone like Khosla
I'm not vegan, but the counterargument I've heard is that an unbalanced omnivore diet can also lead to deficiencies/nutrition problems, and that actually the average vegan diet is more balanced overall than the average omnivore diet, so it's unfair to single out vegans when eating a healthy and varied diet is a challenge for everyone.

In other words, you should probably be just as worried about your non-vegan friends who eat too much meat, not enough leafy greens, not enough vitamins, etc.
First you need to establish which keywords you want to rank for. Then, get as many high quality backlinks as possible with those keywords. Make sure to mix with other non-related keywords as well, like your domain and what not.

This is still working in 2017 even if search engines will like you to believe otherwise. Links still rule.

Now, the best would be to make some killer content on the website that would attract journalists and blogers that would want to write about it aka that would consider your content worthwile to write about and worthwile for their audience to read about.

Sometimes, putting a bandage on it yourself is the correct answer. Imagine a world in which we could do nothing medical for ourselves at all and could ONLY call an ambulance any time we had a problem.

I am fine with the courts and legal system trying to come up with solutions that say, in essence, "for little things, you are allowed to bandage it yourself and here is the list of approved remedies."
4x4x4 has parity problems, same as 5x5x5, but as the GP posted, the number of parity cases for 4x4x4 is higher, which makes it slightly more difficult. (I prefer solving the 5x5x5 for exactly the same reason).
As a founder perspective:

1. I highly second using angel list. Modern founders know, and we (graphistry) list there!

2. ... We are overwhelmed by candidates from there, both by junior or bigco candidates who are hard to distinguish just on paper, and senior candidates who we are not sure are serious. Probably ~100% of the people we talk to didn't do the author's generic approach, but shared a carefully crafted 1-3 paragraphs. The more you go out of your way, the more we notice.

Take it from the perspective of a neat small team (like ours!) who is excited about what we do & are growing. Whoever we hire now has a huge impact on what we're building, and as we're planning out the next 3-4 doublings of our team, your personal DNA & culture will determine the success of the 10 people who descend from you. You want to apply to teams who are spending time on doing this well.. and in turn, do it well yourself.

Also.. build@graphistry.com if you agree ;-)

"This week, the highest court of the European Union handed opponents of basic public health their greatest legal victory in recent memory. At a time when a widening measles outbreaks across Europe and a growing pattern of parents refusing to immunize children, the Court of Justice of the European Union — the rough equivalent of the U.S. Supreme Court — decided that courts across the Continent may weigh whether a vaccine caused an illness regardless of whether or not there is any scientific evidence linking the two."

Well, at least thanks to BrExit, you can still have public health in England.

It's only "safest" in that it puts a bunch of restrictions that the original developer hopefully cares about. If the original developer doesn't care about licensing, then they don't care about those restrictions and so having them in place is counterproductive.

GPL is the worst choice because it's basically the most restrictive license I can think of, and it's intentionally viral, which makes GPL-licensed software dangerous to work with (the source of) by anyone who hasn't already bought into the GPL ecosystem.

The OP was "baffled" why anyone would ever use this API. Clearly, the API's success shows that sometimes this tax you highlight is well worth it. (That was my point as well.) Nobody is claiming the tax doesn't exist, just that it shouldn't be baffling that a rational actor would choose to pay the tax in exchange for the corresponding benefits.

(Not to mention with very minimal effort you can usually avoid the majority of the specific tax of latency you mention, by doing things like parallelizing the request with other work or doing it asynchronously to the user's interface.)
I don't need mental health resources. I need money. The TLDR is that my ex husband did not get my alimony to me yesterday like he said he would and he is not answering my emails either.

If people are concerned about me, rather than suggesting I am merely crazy, it would be much more helpful if they did one of the following:

1. White listed my sites on ad blocker and/or promoted my writing on social media.

2. Left a tip or gifted me some money to get through this crisis.

3. Became a patron.

4. Hired me to do resume work.

PSA: Every time someone either commits suicide or talks about suicide, the big feels brigade who claim to care come out in spades and it makes me crazy. If you actually care about people and want to prevent suicide, then focus on helping people solve their actual personal problems instead of acting like feeling suicidal is merely a form of insanity.

The various services had different peicing tiers. 3615 was the most used and would cost a few francs per minutes.
Some sites would force you to spend some time on their 3615 number so you could accumulate 'minutes' of use through the cheaper '3614' number. They used that scheme to modulate the cost of their service.
Of course. The problem is that trials when your effect size is small are expensive. A trial looking at longevity outcomes for young healthy people would require decades of follow-up. The expense would be enormous, and the results would come generations later. Really have to hope you've asked the right questions.

Illustrates that the whole concept of freedom of speech is illogical.

What if I agitate and undermine the right to "freedom of speech" itself? For self preservation, the society would need to agree that in this instance speech should be curtailed, and bit by bit it will get eroded.
He has lawyers to get him out of that / delay it indefinitely. It would be unfortunate if it came to this, but since he's clearly not interested in adherence to the law or an amicable solution (build a pathway or bridge or take the gate out or whatever), I doubt he'd get much sympathy if someone were to park a truck in the street at the end of his driveway every day, paying the tickets and ignoring any future orders to remove it, until the gate is removed.

Thinking about this more, a suitable punishment at this point IMO would be something like revoking his driver's license, not allowing renewal of any vehicle registration, denying tax returns, etc. Why does he continue to be allowed to use the public roads while denying the public access to a space?
No, I need to do that.

Not only lots of RAM but lots of very fast RAM. This is what makes it ASIC-resistant for now (it's not hard to attach a huge RAM to an ASIC, but going for hundreds of GB/s is really expensive). So unfortunately it's GPUs for now.
Perhaps that is true for a vegan diet where you only eat standard American food, but a whole foods plant-based diet has been shown time after time to lower risks for all sorts of diseases, from heart disease to cancer to parkingsons and MS.

Iron and calcium are in plants, D is in fact added to milk, and can be added to a plant based diet via a pill as well if you don't synthesize enough. You are an animal; your body creates enough creatine (creatine production is in fact downregulated when you consume meat). B12 can also be added via a pill, and it is already added to many foods like cereal.

When you look deeper into the facts, you will see that the Standard American Diet faces far more deficiencies, the most obvious being fiber.
I worked in an environment where people around me were putting in upwards of 80 hrs. I was closer to 60 hrs because I had 2+ hrs of commute time each day. Still, I had to put in time at home during crunches. We probably had about five months of 40 hr weeks spread throughout the year between launches, yet many people still went well over even then.

It's not universal, but I don't think it's uncommon.
So in that case, when systemd encounters a username it is rejecting, it should throw an error instead of launching the process as root.

What happens when admin typos a username in this fashion? The system they think is conforming to least privilege suddenly is granting most privilege. Thanks systemd!

How can a vegan diet be more balanced? It lacks diversity which as far as I understand is the primary foundation for good healthy diet. Many different things in not too much quantity.

> Erlang's strings might be widely considered awful, but probably not by people who actually have a clue – the numbers thing is ugly, but overall it's a very nice design

It is nice in a theoretical sense, in the same way Haskell's [Char] is nice, in a practical sense it's awful.

> 2. binary strings (like python2 str or go)

AKA not actually strings, I don't remember Erlang having much if any string-manipulation API for working on bytes.

> 3. iolists: a list or element of either of 1, 2 or 3. This is the nice part – it basically means erlang has ropes. And all the "egress" functions (sending udp or tcp packets or writing to stdout or files or sockets etc.) take iolists.

This is only for output, so they're not actually ropes.

> So you can avoid a lot of pointless copying and write text or binary data very efficiently; I know of no other (non-BEAM) language that has similarly good support for this, do you?

Most mutable languages will use buffered output streams and possibly some sort of string sequence (even C has iovecs), so while iolists are a good fit for Erlang they make sense in few other languages.
