Stop making excuses. I wonder how such a terrible comment made its way to the top.

> Oh wait, then you forgot your phone and had to go all the way back up to get it to get the unlock codes off of your email. Then you had to be certain that your email would not send the code email into spam, so that sucked.

Those are just one time things. You will forget first or second time but third time your brain will ring a bell "get your phone". Adding that email into trusted contacts is also a one time thing.

My building also has this setup but from different company. First three days are free. There is a website to manager locker settings. You can specify your away days then your packages will be dropped at leasing office.

Then again, we have no signature required, and regularly have packages sitting on our front porch for a day or so and haven't had anything go missing.
Some carriers are better about this than others though. USPS/UPS/Fedex/DHL aren't perfect, but generally do an acceptable job. When I was living in Seattle it got to the point I would dread the OnTrac deliveries Amazon sent out because of all the issues I had with their drivers.

It sounds like that individual is responding rationally to the incentive structure he's embedded in, and succeeding as a result.
They would have to walk to every unit although. With these lobby solutions they just have to walk to one lobby. More time efficient, so cheaper deliveries as a result.
> "first, I can't use %w! to define an array, and secondly You can't call things like that."

The second part is a pretty fundamental language difference but you can use sigils to handle the first part. E.g., to generate word lists use ~w like so:

~w(bob tom harry)

If you don't want to use parens, you could use pointy brackets, braces, pipes or a few other delimiters instead.
> OK. Maybe not 80%. Maybe 50%. It’s hard to say.

Saying it's 80% in the headline then immediately saying it might be 50% is clickbaity.
The general rule which I've heard is you "don't tip the owner." If you are setting your own rates, it fits the same pattern. Not tipping is appropriate in this case, unless you feel like the rate was significantly under-priced for the quality of work performed. In cases like that, I've actually told someone, "for the work you're doing I'm paying you $50 not $35 per hour -- keep it up!" In other words, give them a raise, not a tip.
Blasphemy!

The question isn't about three instructions being executed by three separate OS threads. It's about three instructions being executed at the same time on a single thread on a single core.

The interrupt context will only contain a single program counter value; which of the instructions that could currently be considered to be executing on that thread will it actually point to?

How many have you run into? How strictly were they following a whole-food plant-based diet? What is your sample size?

It dooms subscription journals because it breaks their leverage.

Right now, publishers offer take it or leave it bundles of hundreds of journals at prices the publisher set. If a library doesn't want to pay, the library/university system loses access to everything. And many people at the university can't do their work without such access.

SciHub existing allows negotiators for the universities and libraries to shrug and say whatever when Elsevier threatens to cut access to every Elsevier journal.
It's surprising to me to see how few discussions of Functional and/or Object Oriented programming end up even mentioning the Expression Problem: http://wiki.c2.com/?ExpressionProblem

The expression problem is a new name for an old problem.
The goal is to define a datatype by cases, where one can
add new cases to the datatype and new functions over the
datatype, without recompiling existing code, and while
retaining static type safety (e.g., no casts).

FP and OOP are two axes in a space of problems around building and extending programs. To be "purely functional" or "strictly OO" is basically painting yourself into a corner that you will eventually learn to regret.

> Strangely I had someone submit a bunch of slightly passive-aggressive "Py3 support" pull requests

Is there a more polite way to go about this? I submitted some "Py3 support"-style pull requests to a repo out of the blue a while back. In that case it was just a few minor changes to some fairly small scripts and I did those by hand, preserving Py2 compatibility. But I did wonder at the time whether it wasn't a bit jarring for the owner to see a stranger pop up with a bunch of pull requests like that.
> Pieces like this sometimes make me wonder if sexism is not actually more rampant in tech

I've never seen a shred of evidence that there's any sexism in tech. Most (if not all) articles claiming there is are usually pieces written by SJW types who go out of their way to look for victims and oppressors because that's what they've been trained to do.

Why can't you freeze meals from restaurants just like TaskRabbit meals?

Also, you can schedule meals in advance with GrubHub, etc.

You're thinking strong typing, not static typing. With stronger types, there would be a difference between a bytes string and unicode string, and the programmer would have to explicitly choose between them. With dynamic typing, this difference can still exists, and it is still obvious from the code. The only difference is that it isn't checked by the compiler at compile time.

Look at c. It has static typing, but fairly weak types. Strings are represented as a series of bytes (char *). The exact same work would be required to port c code to semantic c++.
I'd say the movie was more about Roy Batty and his chums falling from Heaven to Earth, Roy meeting their creator and then killing him, and then sparing their tormentor while dying. The "Deckard learns what it is to be hunted" theme doesn't seem to work as he's mostly doing a bunch of hokey detective work, punctuated by fairly evenly matched violence whenever he actually encounters a replicant - to make the theme work you would need to depict him tormenting innocent replicants in the same way Roy would later do to him.

In addition, I don't think the replicants are meant to be without empathy, as much as having a skewed sense of empathy compared to normal humans - Rachel is detected after not distinguishing between eating oysters and boiled dog, for instance.

> The issue with lockers filling up too quickly or packages sitting in them too long is handled by the shipping company, which has sufficiently good customer service

This is the crux of the issue. US companies don't want to have good customer service. They want to charge you for every single piece of customer service above the absolute minimum.
In this case, a new type was introduced...bytes didn't exist. So I don't know that static typing would have helped much, at least for dealing with existing code. You still have to decide what migrates from type1 to type2.

The "bytes" that was put into 2.6 was just an alias to str as hinting for the 2to3 utility.

1. Why doesn't Apple open source iOS?

2. These weren't drivers. Did you read the article?

3. The larger share of the blame belongs to Apple. Why does Apple trust devices like this that are essentially independent computers? Why should anything this chip does be able to take over the phone and install software on it, in privileged mode, that replicates itself?

4. Why can't you see things rationally?

Baltimore and Raleigh are tech hubs, and New York is not?

In 2000 when the dot-com's went bust, things were not so bad for IT in New York because the other industries were still going along - media, advertising, fashion, and of course, finance. San Francisco has all its eggs in one basket.

Plus New York has Stack Overflow, Spotify, Computer Associates, IBM, Seamless, Rockstar Games, Kickstarter and companies like that as well.

Breaking out SF from "Silicon Valley" seems like an outdated approach to segment the data. I would say for the past decade, "Silicon Valley" includes SF, Peninsula through San Jose for all intents and purposes. I see people, who live in SF, commute down to Peninsula and vice versa. The job market in the Bay Area is all pretty fluid.

I'm also totally fine with the graphics. It was never the graphics that did it, but a nice tech tree and good gameplay. So far, I can't really see anything in their comparison video that makes me want to play it.

AoE2 (non-HD) with Voobly actually works really well. What MS could do is just take a look at that, and make an update based on that. AoE2 HD works too, but unless you are running beta 5.5, it's less playable than AoE 2 non-HD.

I suppose most remake-teams aren't that interested in the people that are currently playing or targeting people that might want good gameplay and integration with mods and platforms of choice (i.e. good Wine support and maybe a macOS build?). This is also why AoE3 pretty much failed: it didn't help with the fancy graphics and while pathfinding and engine errors were better, the gameplay was pretty much half as good as the older editions...

I bought AoE and AoE2 boxed for PC and Mac, it was great back then, and still is. If they could just fix the engine, update unit selection and pathfinding, get good resolution/monitor support and revise their networking code, I'd pay for that. I don't want 3D models or 4D or 5D or UHD or VR, the 2D-ish sprites are fine.
Sure, but if you're paid based on the number of people citing your work doesn't that create the right incentives? People making more money are precisely those providing valuable information/methods to other researchers.

Sure, there's an ethics problem during reviews to push additional citations for people in your university or something but that's not too different from the current situation with grant applications, just more direct.

You can deploy it exactly the same way as anything else, it's just a matter of being willing to sacrifice some of the features if necessary. You don't necessarily even need each of the features on each project so it's entirely reasonable to deploy exactly like you would anything else.

There's a Redis adapter for Phoenix channels that you can use in environments like Heroku where clustering might not be an option.

If you want to use built in Mnesia database on an immutable or cluster, attach block storage and configure it to store to that disk so you can remount when you deploy your immutable image.

Hot reloading is the only one where you NEED mutable servers.
Reading their actual paper further, it seems I read a bit too much into the original article. However, as their paper mentions:

> The parameter space of C-2U has over one thousand dimensions. Quantities of interest are almost certainly not convex functions of this space. Furthermore, machine performance is strongly affected by uncontrolled time-dependent factors such as vacuum impurities and electrode wear.

I'm not aware of DOE procedures that are robust to these types of issues, and would certainly appreciate any literature you have on the subject.

Regardless of theoretical literature, this procedure has enabled a dramatic shift in how these scientists think about their experiment. Furthermore it has enabled them to achieve results much faster than before (if you have been following Tri Alpha, it has been a real slog). Both of these are exciting to me even if they don't break new ground in the design of experiments.
Just because tech doesn't tolerate neo-nazis doesn't mean it's not inclusive. Being inclusive, in my opinion, does not mean that one needs to tolerate every belief and every opinion and treat them as equal. IMO inclusivity has more to do with being accepting of people regardless of their unchangeable aspects (skin color, age, orientation, gender, etc.)

> It certainly doesn't win over the 40% who do support gay marriage from working with you and it excludes half of the country.

We're not trying to convince bigoted people to not be bigoted here. We're trying to cultivate a work place that doesn't discriminate against most people, and that _probably_ means that we can't tolerate certain bigoted beliefs. In my mind, not hiring someone who doesn't like gay people is quite similar to not hiring a jerk.

Ah, thank you.

When they go on to infer that fast growing jobs come out of the hubs, their adherence to that standard distorts the numbers downwards. Reader beware.
> There is a low-tech solution for this already..you have normal package lockers near the mailroom which have keys. Your package is put in a locker, and the corresponding key is put into your mailbox.

How would that work with multiple delivery services? A FedEx or UPS worker, for instance, cannot legally put a package locker key into a USPS mailbox (and usually, in apartment mailbox banks, cannot even physically do so even if they are willing to ignore the law).
sounds the same as EOS
I find it interesting to see the difference. I moved from San Jose to work in the city 8 years ago and to me, anecdotally, it's always felt like that was a trend, startups were coming to SF and so was the talent and that "silicon valley" was the tech hub 10-15 years ago. So seeing real data that's showing what's actually happening is very interesting to me. I'd like to see more break downs of south bay vs SF/Oakland tech jobs and startup growth.
Re:Summer Freebies,Check What You Need
Well, one Jeremy Becker made the mistake of stalking Andrea Shepard (puellavulnerata) and her friends on Twitter. She tracked him down through his IP address, found his family and employer, and provided links to his tweets. He stopped.
As I said:

Victims usually are not good at figuring out how to effectively manage the situation via other means. If they are, well, they don't write articles like this.

I will posit that most stalkers fit the profile of a sociopath. Most of their victims probably do not. Trying to figure out how to think enough like a sociopath to outwit them if you, yourself, are not innately wired that way can be distasteful. But, if you don't, your efforts to manage the situation wind up either ineffectual or backfiring or both.

In this article, it says she did things like told him to stop sending so many messages or she would block him. When he didn't do as she asked, she blocked him. The result: It just made things worse.

This seems to be the usual pattern. The victim often tries tactics that just deepen the problem.

It gets to a point where politeness has nothing to do with it. If everything you try just makes the problem worse, trying to just not antagonize the creep can seem like the least worst option possible.
