It's ironic that WP is owned by Bezos.
Absolute temperatures in that context are not so much "meaningless" as actively misleading. Measuring in terms of standard deviation is much more precise and relevant, even if it feels less concrete to those not versed in statistics.
As a .NET developer by day, I'm curious what you like about Elixir over C#/.NET? I have a copy of Elixir in Action on my nightstand, I just haven't had a chance to crack it open yet.
Yeah - ladder frame.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and a ton of older vehicles that are considered cars would fall into this category. Heck, a standard Jeep Wrangler would fall into this category.

Furthermore, there isn't any reason you couldn't make a truck (that is, a pickup) using a unibody approach, but I don't know of any examples (which just may be my ignorance).

Regardless - I always consider anything modern with a ladder frame to be a "truck". It may not be a pickup, but to me it's still a truck.
Sorry I do not really understand your question. I hope I made it clear that I do not attach any supernatural significance to the fact that the Aug 21 eclipse includes "dark" history in its path. By chance it includes historical sites that most people have heard of, and it is a shame that we couldn't drum up some luminaries to talk about them and emphasize the common themes - humans are at their worst engaging in horrors that you hate to think about - when: bigotry is widely accepted, when there is assymetry of power between groups, when ruthlessness in the pursuit of profit and power is not condemned and when the actions remain out of sight and there is no investigative journalism to reveal them. If we are of good conscience and do not want to repeat our past then we must constantly be on guard against those factors.

This is Richard: a product manager with Wasabi

We agree with you exactly: storage should be a commodity. The goal of making something like Wasabi is to be able to do cloud storage of datasets that were too large to be financially feasible before. Allowing data on the Petabyte and Exabyte scale to be easily accessible between institutions could be revolutionary and we are excited to be on the forefront.
Kind of interesting that this article is coming from the WP, given their acquisition by Bezos.

Introducing Support for Brotli Compression
The Stoics and Us: The Revival of an Ancient Tradition?
As a Ruby/Rails guy, here's my experience(summary):

I came to Ruby from Java, I wrote Ruby code like Java code at the start, it runs, but it is bad, once I really learned to write Ruby code it became a billion times better.

Same thing happened to Elixir, my first few lines of Elixir were very similar to Ruby, similar syntax makes this possible, but I missed the real gains from Elixir this way.

There are quite a few functional programming concepts to learn, but once I finally clicked what pattern matching was all about Elixir programming went from enjoyable to amazing, if you can work functional programming concepts your way you can do a lot.

That said, don't worry about it unless it is critical for your job, do your code, once all the concepts click in it gets way better, spend some time with pure Elixir, it pays off just as much as it pays to a Rails developer to understand what Ruby is all about.
"A key piece of the FDA’s approach is demonstrating a greater awareness that nicotine – while highly addictive – is delivered through products that represent a continuum of risk and is most harmful when delivered through smoke particles in combustible cigarettes."

"Envisioning a world where cigarettes would no longer create or sustain addiction, and where adults who still need or want nicotine could get it from alternative and less harmful sources, needs to be the cornerstone of our efforts – and we believe it’s vital that we pursue this common ground.”

This seems like exactly the right approach to me and it is super exciting to see the FDA saying this stuff. I hope they stick with it.

Pulseaudio is not a requirement, ring can choose ALSA if you prefer.

> but my router has no settings for nat-pmp

Maybe I exagerated a bit. Ring comes by default configured to use TURN and you can also setup STUN. The problem with this is that they are not distributed.

If you want true P2P, you have to use upnp or nat-pmp, Ring can use any of the two. I don't know if it is because I get impatient, but it takes forever to connect. Just upnp should suffice but I get paranoid and think, maybe it's upnp that is not working. Then I enable nat-pmp in the router and open the nat-pmp port in the laptop. Sometimes I get so impatient that I also open (temporarily) every port in the laptop just in case.

Prop 13 is the big elephant in the room. Repealing Prop 13 and rent control would probably align everybody's incentives to keep housing "affordable". Owners would probably welcome higher density housing to help keep property taxes down. Renters would likewise welcome more housing to increase the rental supply.

However, there doesn't really seem to be a way to actually repeal any of these laws.

The term "creep" is thrown around way too casually. You don't like that guy? Why? No reason, he's just a creep.

Sure, some guys need to be called names because they are not nice people. But calling a guy a creep is just "Social skill shaming". As in you are punishing a guy because his social skills aren't up to whatever level. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because social situations cause anxiety. Eventually you have lonely guys who call BS and you get things like gamergate.

I'd like to see a study done on how often autistic males get called a "creep" compared to males not on the spectrum.
Learn Nodejs by building 12 projects
But why do Ethereum people maintain a custom programming language? This could easily add a huge amount of complexity (and security issues) with very few benefits.

Moreover, maintaining a large and critical project without automated tests seems impossible to me.
>> the language has been streamlined to encourage a good OOP style by default. Design Patterns are simpler (Factory, Builder, Decorator, Adaptor, etc). Dependency Injection is very natural and implementing fluent APIs is a lot simpler.

Can you expand on this? I'm interested in how these things are easier in F# than in C#.
No, the problem is the sentence.

And this is another subtle accusation of fraud. Do you have any proof of climate science papers are rigged?

> This is certainly a discussion that needs to be had, and responding in this way which is dismissive is exactly what the parent was saying

No, the parent was saying that climate papers are wrong beacuse the papers are only reviewed by people that think that climate change is real.

Recreated in 3D: the house where the Romanov dynasty was executed
It's kind of sad that you think accuracy is the reason conservatives hate liberal ideas (sad because I know you're trying your best to help here).

You're talking about a political base that is currently thriving almost entirely on spite and a total absence of fact. They don't give a shit how accurate your x-axis is labeled, they're at the point where in some circles they discredit science as a concept.
Richard Rorty: Life, Pragmatism, and Conversational Philosophy
The commenter seems to be saying that if the clmate scientists did all those things he prescribes and the data showed the world is getting hotter, he would believe them.

However, I think that is not at all what he really thinks. To start, he lays out a pattern of purposeful deception that it would make sense for the climate scientists to do only if they knew the data actually shows the world is not getting hotter. But how can the commenter know that unless he already knows that this is in fact the case? And on what basis could he know that if the true data is hidden?

My best guess is the commenter is a fanatic believer in conservative economic theory, which assumes that nature must be such that it is possible for the free market to expand without limit without governmental regulation and in the process bring only good to the human race.

"Hey, this is John, I forgot my pass again, so I had to recreate the account, again. Add me, plz?"
How so? The poster displayed a clear example of anti-intellectualism. It's a claim that there is no proof besides "pretty charts and cartoon graphics". Who exactly here isn't engaging? I suppose the old saying holds true here: At least you've found a way to feel superior to both of us.

To actually address your point, however. There is both a breadth and depth of scientific literature, which goes much beyond this nonsense of only "pretty charts". Even reading the linked article in the above nytimes article gives the detail the poster asked for.

Scientists work hard on this. They're not "making it up". They're not lazy. They're not just trying to get rich. Have you spent the last 10 years studying climate change? Have you read all the literature on the subject? From people who have claimed that it was human-driven or not, from scientists across the world and political spectrum. Scientists have. Their entire job is to stay up to date on the current research everywhere in their field.

When you have a problem you don't understand, or don't have enough information about, or don't have a good solution for, what do you do? You ask the expert. The scientists are the experts, and the scientists have a consistent, well-explained consensus on their positions (read the IPCC report for this exact thing). People's resistance to this consensus comes because of two reasons and two reasons alone. 1.) People don't understand climate change because it moves slowly, imperceptibly, and then violently. Climate is far away from an intuitive thing to study, and people's expectations for what's 'logical' in this case is in fact, not always 'logical'. 2.) People's preexisting political affiliations or preconceptions have colored their view. They believe that any position taken by Democrats must be a conspiracy, or ascribe to whataboutism and "moderation". "They're so adamant about this position! But both sides are wrong, so they must be wrong somehow!"

It's nonsense. The fact that so called "intelligent" programmers so easily fall for this garbage is sickening. People claim to be skeptical or logical, but it's all the same stuff with a different lens. Programmers are just as flawed, make their decisions on the same mindless emotional feelings, and don't question anything.

Reading the comments on this post made me lose faith that we will ever address any difficult political and societal challenges. We'll just argue for decades about whether they "actually exist".
Maybe, but the problem with that is that by the time capitalism has realized that, many people have died.
We're in the context of Boost here and it has great support for Windows. Switching to a build system that doesn't have mature support for Windows is simply a non-starter for the Boost project.

That a lot of FOSS projects (understandably) have poor support for Windows doesn't mean that all of them do. It also doesn't mean there isn't demand for FOSS projects on that platform.
Everybody knows it and I wouldn't be bringing attention to myself like that if I used flags often enough to care, I come here in part to read about all sorts of weird stuff people post and flagging is largely counterproductive to that.

As someone who is a heavy Windows user, this whole thing confuses me. Someone comes along, similar to Stallman who embraces Linux in the truest form: they build something for you. It has faults. It may not be great, but it does some things well. And somehow, it creeps over & takes over. On more than one comment here, people complained about how fast systemd (not systemD) took over -- and yet, is that the author (Pottering or whatever?) fault? I think not -- this is your fault. Your friends. Mine. My friends. The random dev in the corner who found it useful & uses it & realizes the potential.

I'd be curious to see what the Amazons, WalMarts & other large ''small service Linux-y thingy'' do to get so big & scale so fast: are they not essentially using CoreOS, many containers & making use of systemd to the fullest extent possible?

I just don't get it. Linux is all about choice (and yet nobody realizes too much choice is bad - just look at all the distros you have). Someone fixes it all for you & you get upset. Someone takes power away from Sysadmins & shifts it just a little more to Devs because they can't get work done. You get upset (I am admittedly in that camp) but, from the people that I hear good things about systemd, I hear great* things that convince me it's wonderful. The bad camp can't say the same thing on the same scale: it's just blame & resentment & frustration because they can't articulate what they don't like about it other than "It isn't the Linux way!!11Oneoneon1on1!! M$"

You are absolutely correct. The odds of all of the company's data centers being simultaneously destroyed by meteors are far more likely than 11 9s. It's complete marketing fluff that is not targeted at engineers.

Presumably Amazon made it up because people kept asking them "how likely are you to lose my data?" and Amazon needed to be able to say something other than "it's impossible to say due to human factors being the dominant likely cause but it's very unlikely."

I should have said Python instead of Django.

The problem is that I was/still am a rookie of a programmer. I could not wrap my head around async in Python. I just wasn't getting it. I had a nagging sense that it was going to fail in the middle of the night and there was nothing I could do about it.

So, enter Elixir, which actually has a syntax that is kind of close to Python. It made immediate sense. If you want to do something that can cause the program to fail, do it in a process and send a message back with the result. If the program spawning the process fails, the supervisor will restart it!

Sorry - back to your question - and this will probably disatisfy you, but the answer is that everything was neat. It was just simple CRUD stuff, but doing it in Python didn't feel "robust" enough.

I'm fully aware that my reasons are superficial, but the way Elixir works has made me way more confident as a programmer.
The adjustments thing probably can't go away entirely, it seems like anytime you try to combine many distinct historical datasets you need normalizing adjustments.

For example, the man who empirically determined the normal human body temperature was, as best we can tell, using a thermometer that read too warm. (http://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2015/08/the_average_bod...)

Even with the same nominal weather station recording over the years:

Stations have moved to different locations over the past 150 years, most more than once. They have changed instruments from mercury thermometers to electronic sensors, and have changed the time they take temperature measurements from afternoon to morning. Cities have grown up around stations, and some weather stations are not ideally located. All of these issues introduce inconsistencies into the temperature record.

-- https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97...

So, in summary, it's virtually impossible to combine a bazillion datapoints recorded over hundreds of years and not need adjustments.
