From the article, when I searched for "holiday":

"NACHA projects that ACH Originators would generate approximately 1.4 billion same-day ACH payments annually as of ten years after full implementation and rollout, primarily for transactions that can be initiated before 2:45 PM ET on business days (not on weekends or holidays), and that do not require real-time functionality."

So you'll still have to deal with the absurd notion of holidays and weekends when working with bank transfers.

What we need is instant clearing, 24/7/365. Nobody cares that it's Sunday. Nobody cares that it's Presidents Day.
That was my first thought. A lot of people in the last several years have learned the hard way that for all practical purposes, the Internet tends to be forever.

> For a fully informative prior for δ, we might choose normal with mean 0 because we see no prior reason to expect the population difference to be positive or negative and standard deviation 0.001 because we expect any differences in the population to be small, given the general stability of sex ratios and the noisiness of the measure of attractiveness.

That’s a very strong prior. To put it into context (if I did my calculations right): assuming that every single child from very attractive parents in the study was a girl (let’s say 600 out of 600) while for the rest we have the expected distribution (i.e. 1150 girls out of 2400) the estimate of the difference would be 0.1%.

The phonetic nature of the Chinese script is so weak that in the foreword to https://www.amazon.com/Xunzi-Complete-Text/dp/0691169314/ , the author observes that while he uses his own translations, he is forced to defer to existing scholarship as to what parts of the text rhyme, not being qualified to determine that for himself.

Nice. I'll check it out today.

Can being related to someone already famous really be considered networking, though? I always think of networking as actively going out and making new contacts. Being born with a contact to an industry is just luck.

Ripple is a member of NACHA: https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-labs-joins-mainstream-nac...

There is huge potential with what Ripple is doing, and their technology very much has a lot to do with ACH and cash settlement. Apologies if I was being an ass. I'm just really excited about Ripple and how I think their technology can transform the entire electronic movement of money. No more waiting days for cash to settle... it literally takes seconds. It's pretty amazing to see it in action.
100%.

Without a novel need,there's zero reason to make your own token simply for payments. That part has been solved.

Why not take payment in ethereum alone instead? The transaction is processed by the exact same miners whether it's a token or not.

I remember that during G20, some grandstanders set fire to some cables in the Berlin S-Bahn system, disrupting train service for a day. They then claimed responsibility with a letter on linksunten. [1]

Thing is, the comments on linksunten were uniformly condemning of the letter and the act. Yet still by sympathizers, not outsiders coming to the site. I'd link to the web archive version but the only thing the crawler was able to retrieve was a 'DDOS protection for civil society' banner [2].

One mistake per day is enough for the knives to come out. On a big mailing list, think about how many 9's of accuracy you have to have to keep one incident from happening per day. Per week. Per month.

If you asked people, one per month would be a 'working' system, if you catch them on a good day. 'Never' is a very long time.

Yeah, to build a lifelong network you need to get people to like you. This means you have to have something likable about you.

It could also be the data collected from HackerNews as WhatRuns consider subdomain as part of the main domain.

Most users like to know the full tech stack of a website. If there is a blog at blog.company.com which is using Intercom, it can be a useful data. I hope this makes sense.

Anyway, we will definitely address this issue and consider introducing an option for subdomain separation.

Networking, when defined as a competition of who can speak the most about themselves has little value.

Networking, when defined as a practice of always adding value first, and seeking other similar givers to build your network around is invaluable. Takers are everywhere and learning to recognize and filter them as needed is a critical skill.
Best of luck. This is something that will make people's lives better.

As a designer who's routinely on both sides of the hiring process, the writer is projecting, clearly.

If you're experiencing these slights with such frequency that they appear endemic, take the hint about the value you're perceived to bring, and instead of self righteously blogging about which seas hiring managers should part to hire you, start asking what you could do to improve.

I would never hire the person who penned this because they're missing something absolutely critical in a designer: the ability to self reflect and say "I could do better. It's my work that needs to adapt to the needs of the people I serve, not the other way around."
I race sailboats competitively, and obviously wind direction and speed affects the outcome even more.

Electronically, in most classes of boats you're allowed to get any information that's available to anyone (i.e. you can hit any public website, but you can't call your local weatherman to ask his opinion). But really, there's not that much information available for day races (long distance races are a different animal)

One of the things that's become common over the last 10 years or so it to use a forecasting service. Basically you talk with a meterologist each morning or perhaps a few days in advance and they let you know what they expect to happen. You end up with statements like, "If you see big puffy clouds coming in, you should expect the wind to shift to the right of about 30 degrees shortly. But if the clouds don't come in, or you see flat ones, you won't get the shift until the puffy clouds fill in."

They're pretty good at forecasting what will happen over a large area or a day, but for really small areas (a few square miles) or really short periods, they can't be that accurate because the movement of the systems varies in speed and direction too much over short periods.

But try a forecasting service, it really can be helpful to know what's happening around you. Around $100 a day is reasonable last time I did this.
I can't help but seeing a multi-fail here.

First, it's ok for the company to send confidential info via email? I don't think so. Email is not a secure transport mechanism.

Second, email accounts are often the target of phishing and cyber attacks, so that's the last place you should enable the customer to store sensitive information.

Third, how does "noreply@" actually prevent the customer from sending a reply, disclosing the confidential information at every hop along the way to being bounced by your server? It doesn't. Or to "support" personnel; well maybe if you exclude your admins from the "support" classification but they're likely collecting those emails in an unnamed inbox or logging them somewhere? And what if the customer's (possibly third-party) admins are collecting bounces as they proactively monitor SMTP reputation for the domain and IP address?

Please, just erase the idea that it's ok to send confidential information via email from your head. Send a link to a password-protected page. If you want to be extra vigilant, require temp password via SMS to reset that password. And if you want to be hyper-vigilant, use TOTP as a 2FA mechanism for password reset. And if it really requires secrecy, send it via courier followed by an assassin to kill the courier. (Joking, not an incitement to criminal activity)
And start calling yourself a woman.
I hate to break it to the author - despite the effort put in, task is solving the wrong problem. The biggest problem in build systems is not the syntax, it's dependency management and reproducibility.

Buck / Bazel and to a very minimal extent make, get this right. There are pattern match rules and extensibility rules. The dependency graph largely works.

Task is trying to be a decent make alternative, but it's solving a years old problem. The next problem in build systems needs more thought and execution.

And once a mother has a c-section, most (all?) future births are via c-sections as well.

There is a cost to the mother - major surgery - to the benefit of children. Modern society considers this a worthwhile trade, but it would have meant the death of the mother not even a century ago.

I have no real way to tie this back to programming; other than perhaps to note that we're likely still in the dark ages of programming; the programming equivalent of a cesarean section is likely still years away.

'Decreased demand can lead to decreased production'

Not can, does. You're moving further down the supply curve.

No... less demand leads to less supply at a lower optimum price.

The problem is that reset logic requires a bit of design rather than hard fast rules.

Designs are getting larger these days with a lot of 3rd party IP that you can't assume use a particular reset method.

Tips #2 and #5 in this article, http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1278998

If you don't, you chew up resources.

A new FPGA designer should learn the first principles so they can understand how to make decisions and where to look for potential issues when bugs occur.
Knuth is worth quoting in full, so here is the very first paragraph of Ancient Babylonian Algorithms (1972) by Donald E. Knuth:

One of the ways to help make computer science respectable is to show that it is deeply rooted in history, not just a short-lived phenomenon. Therefore it is natural to turn to the earliest surviving documents which deal with computation, and to study how people approached the subject nearly 4000 years ago. Archeological expeditions in the Middle East have unearthed a large number of clay tablets which contain mathematical calculations, and we shall see that these tablets give many interesting clues about the life of early "computer scientists".

iOS and macOS: What does the future hold?

If that were true then IF graded natural diamonds wouldn't be multiple times more expensive than the VVS grades.

If your manager is aware enough of the situation to know there is a fork, but is not aware enough to know that the fork is pure politics, it might be time to change managers.

Networking is Marketing for humans, and most here understand how the Product-Marketing relationship works for apps. There isn't much point in marketing if you, the product, have no value to the customer. Also it follows that some people's product is their ability to market. These are the anomalies to the title, and these are the ones we see networking all the time, the schmoozers.
Erlang, QnX, RTOS would be good starting points.

Depending on the resource, there may be latent demand that can be met when a cheaper source of a resource is discovered. Demand curves are not linear.

Often times, as a resource becomes more readily available, a ton of new uses spring up that were not economically feasible when the cost was higher.

Mostly my observations when I was doing my PhD at one of the pretty good schools (one that considers itself in the top 20, but may actually be in the top 50). I might be suffering from the selection bias as well (as I decided not to pursue an academic career), but I did see professors who had no Ph.D. students, did not publish or present and just took it easy with a minimum teaching load. I do not doubt their teaching skill, but they were doing the job of, say, a senior lecturer at 2-3 times the salary and half the workload. There were not many (maybe 10-15%), but not a single case either.

My experience was on a "pure science" / paper and pencil side. Maybe it was the fact that one does not need grants for labs, etc. that takes pressure off as well. Among the grads (at least in physics) the split between experimentals and pure would be crystal clear any weekend: the first were in the lab, second played warcraft :).
