Interesting. Insofar as "infidelity gossip" is concerned, do you believe/perceive that the reason it comes "from the other side of the business" is because of some combination of traits that makes it more likely in those areas (or, inversely, that engineers lack some combination of traits that leads to a reduction in infidelity gossip)?

These panels reject heat at a rate of up to 70 W/m^2. A good solar panel absorbs 20% of incoming light, which typically peaks at about 1000 W, so a solar panel reduces temperature by 3x as much.

So... you could just do that.
Absolutely disagree. The amount of scamming and corruption (at least in the western perspective) in the Chinese economy is mind-boggling and they don't bat an eye at it.

The CCP cares about population destabilization and independence movements above all things. Economic control starting at the provincial level up through the CCP is job 1. The CCP is very watchful over their provincial governors getting too much power and alternative currencies offer them a potential way for provinces to exploit their local power.

If I'm hired as a React developer to implement a set of business requirements, they are hiring me to learn and implement the business requirements. They are not hiring me to learn React. If they hired me with the knowledge that I'm not a seasoned React developer, the expectation is that they will not be expecting me to charge them for my learning React as billable time. How is that unfair? My React skills increase my marketability and I'm investing in myself by learning it.

If a person is not willing to sacrifice to learn skills on their own time, software development is not the field they should be in.

A lot of the stereotypes we have about members of the military aren't grounded in anything but popular fiction.
Since the subject of context has come up - in the context of water-living invertebrates, copper is poisonous in anything other than very low concentrations. This is why copper containing solutions are used to kill snail and slug infestations in aquariums, gardens and elsewhere.

Not sure why there is any confusion about this. Any aquarium keeper for example, knows to avoid copper religiously if keeping inverts.
"It's not cheating if it happened on deployment" is practically a meme. How seriously it's taken seems pretty inconsistent, to say the least.
Looking at this from a totally different angle, I find the fact that we collectively have such a high standard for games to be such a positive signal that life today is moving along swimmingly. The fact that this is what bothers us (rather than a depression or a big war) is wonderful. (Or maybe I've just been reading too many history books recently.)

My 12 year old self agreed with you. The Technical sets and Space sets were cool in a way, but had too many pre-fab parts! Lego just wasn't want it used to be. Might as well build models! And the prices, wow.

I identify with your left-of-norm liberal friends.

Most of my views sit closer to the middle than either pole - but I can't actually discuss this with any of my "liberal" friends. If I say anything that isn't a complete regurgitation of a leftist facebook meme, I'm suddenly an "alt-right sympathizer" (real quote). It's made it so that whenever politics comes up at all I just check out of the conversation. It's hard because I really do enjoy debating and talking about politics, but nobody wants to debate anymore. Everyone wants to be correct and shame the other side into changing their views.
Yes, that's what I was referring to.
Very interesting and thanks for the post. Does Windows 10 actually conduct ongoing A/B tests and use telemetry to evaluate them? (for example the interface used by two people on two different computers might look different, or something)

I'm intrigued but still very skeptical about the effectiveness of the data-based approach to UI design. That seems to be an area where local, hillclimbing optimization can lead to a mess of conflicting decisions across the OS.

I wanted to second this comment re: approval of the framing of the discussion. One of the few ways to have, IMO, meaningful discourse if to be able to understand the other side, for who they are and instead of a talking point (e.g. a strawman). I can't say that I've lived enough to be firmly on one side of the discourse or the other, but I've found that it's much easier to be "center" when the issues are framed in such a way that show both sides properly.

I live in South Florida and this nails it. My friends who have lived here a short time are already planning to pack up and leave. My friends who have been here for 10+ years are all just going to stay and ride it out. I think even if they issued mandatory evacuations many of them would still not leave. They all speak longingly of having neighborhood "hurricane parties" while they wait for the power to come back on. They think of it as South Florida snow days. An inconvenience at worst, a fun few days off school and work at best. They just don't see the threat as being that serious.
Many thanks. Looks like one of the first jobs is figuring out the acronyms :) Any suggestions on where/how to go about learning the industry, and where the opportunities might be? e.g. Blogs, courses, forums, etc.

Few institutes in India:

C++ is taught before C;

C++ is taught before explaining OOP;

Teachers hardly have industry exposure.

Lab exercises are so kiddish with practically no purpose - build a pyramid shape with asterisk.

Complete mismatch between the way real-world software project is built and Final Year College Project is built.

Students passionate about Computer Science are deprived of hacking it because you're supposed to do what's required for your lab assignments.

Government is only interested in focusing, regulating and reforming big names like IITs which help them in PR while Private colleges with a huge inflow of students every year never have to kind about being right and do what students want. And the inflow is primarily because of the culture IT industry has set CS pays off well because of which students flock into this course with no understanding of what am I going to learn and why.
> Even worse: it fails at the first missing dependency instead of listing them.

Yes, this is a fair criticism. Fortunately, many projects state their dependencies. But not all do. If I'm already on a Debian system that has another version of the package, `apt-get build-dep' is very helpful to get most of the way there. Of course this is completely outside Autoconf.

Whether it fails immediately or not depends on how the author writes `configure.ac'. Usually `AC_MSG_ERROR' is used right away, because it's convenient. Instead, some authors choose to set a flag and fail at the end.
> I wish I asked if they choose to agree, e.g compromise, or if they and their partner were naturally agreeable.

What about a third possibility: that they already had parity beforehand about many issues important to them? Most wisdom about successful marriages I've heard is that you should marry someone whose values are aligned with your own.

I and others explained a bit more in other comments in this thread.

While writing, I meant making a copy of streamed content. However, I do indeed completely fail to see how a website doing what you describe could be illegal.

> "a third-party website, accessing a copyrighted work on e.g. Youtube, making a copy of it, and distributing that copy to a user who requests it?"

That describes exactly what a browser does. Accessing Youtube and downloading the video for private use is legal, so is converting that video to audio only. There is no copyright violated, because users (in Germany) have the right to make copies. Why should it matter with which tool the copy is made?

Now, there was a recent criminalization of pirate video streaming sites. But there the argument of the court was that it is visible to the user that the content is illegal/unlicensed. That's not the case with Youtube.

I don't see any legal argument for the illegality of sites like youtube-mp3.

For some very stubborn processes, I've had to resort to attaching to them using windbg.exe and killing it from there.
This 10000X over. I have an SSD that I have to assume is bad that had abyssal read/write speeds due to processes constantly getting stuck in state D when they touched it. It would bring the system to its knees with load averages 40+ while my 8c/16t CPU would be sitting there doing nothing.
> Crash Dump Analysis...In an environment like ours (patched LTS kernels running in VMs), panics are rare.

As the order of magnitude of systems administered increases, rare changes to occasional changes to frequent. Especially when it is not running in a VM.

Also, from time to time you just get a really bad version of a distro kernel, or some off piece of hardware that is ubiquitous in your setup, and these crashes become more frequent and serious.

(Recent example of a distro kernel bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1674838 . I foolishly upgraded to Ubuntu 17.04 on its release in stead of letting it get banged around for a few weeks. For the next five weeks it crashed my desktop about once a day, until a fix was rolled out in Ubuntu proposed)

Most companies I've worked at want to have some official support channels, so usually we'd be running RHEL, and if I was seeing the same crash more than once I'd probably send the crash to Red Hat, and if the crash pointed to the system, then the server maker (HP, Dell...) or hardware driver maker (QLogic, Avago/Broadcom).

Solaris crash dumps worked really well though - they worked smoothly for years before kdump was merged into the Linux kernel. It is one of those cases where you benefited from the hardware and software both being made by the same company.
I know it's bad form to just offer an unexplained video link, but your phrase "the wind's sole protector" reminded me of this delightfully understated French commercial that illustrates why the wind has so few people looking out for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mTLO2F_ERY

A lot of great little tricks are included here, many that I never noticed until this pointed them out and now I can think of multiple places where specific things are in use. Bookmarking this for future design work.
Without looking at the source code, I wonder to what extent it succeeds at that goal. Does it actually contain a platform-independent state machine, and diff the current state against the last-known state in order to issue updates, or does it use heuristics to figure out how to reduce control sequences?
`kill -9` on a process blocked on a syscall does kill the process, it just doesn't clean the process up. The result of SIGKILL-ing (i.e., killing with -9) a blocked process is a zombie process. Zombies are dead, right?
Is the intended purpose of the Tendermint protocol to solve the double spend problem, thus allowing the creation of digital tokens?

And, if so, wouldn’t the market value of these tokens be limited to whatever it costs to bring 2n dishonest nodes, where n is the current number of nodes in the network (thus reaching 2/3 majority), and hereby allowing you to define the transaction history (and assigning all tokens to yourself and sell them in the open market — which will be profitable if the market value of the tokens exceeds the cost of bringing up the dishonest nodes)?
Gee, I've been seriously exploring GCP and picked it over AWS. This is terrifying.
Stuff like this always makes me glad PostgreSQL takes adherence to the SQL standard seriously, NULLS are supposed to be considered non-equal for unique indexes - probably some stupid design from the Sybase days that MS decided was easier to keep for compatibility than change, though.

Agreeableness is only 42% heritable (the least of the Big 5), and the relative impact of the genetic component decreases if you make a deliberate effort to change your agreeableness, or are incentivized to do so by your environment.
I'd venture a different hypothesis: smarter people are more picky and peculiar, so when they find someone they like, they really like them and stick with them.

Also, if you're willing to suffer through difficult higher education, imagine the pains you'll endure in relationships to make that work also :)
Pure anecdata here. My dad became kind of a jerk when he got fired, years ago: he became a bitter pessimist, jealous at my mother (she was working) and desperate because he couldn't do what he was supposed to do (feed the family!). This lead to a divorce, after some time.

What I mean is that possibly men and women react very differently to a situation of unemployment. As the article says,

> The findings reveal that despite more women entering the workplace, the pressure on husbands to be breadwinners largely remains.

Could it be that unemployed men become really difficult people to deal with, in most circumstances?
I'm using BTRFS on my SSD and while it has some neat features the need to rebalance periodically or you can "run out of space" while using less than half the SSD drives me crazy.
While that is a possible sequence of events, it may have been a different cause/effect relationship. From what I saw losing the Nintendo World Championship wasn't something she was unhappy about and was glad to just be a part of it. Maybe girlfriend left because she couldn't handle the flack they were both receiving. Maybe transitioning is something Narcissa has been trying to suppress for a long time and finally couldn't anymore, and everything together happened.

I guess my point is, you really don't know all of that and you seem to be painting her in the worst possible light, which sort of is what I was talking about in my above comment. I can't say any of us would have been able to handle the same situation any better, same with No Man's Sky.
getting a "Bad Request: 400" error.
Good to have you here. What is your view around private blockchains and smart contracts regarding Hyperledger Fabric vs Ethereum based ones? I mean, in my perspective there is no need to have smart contracts ala Ethereum because in a private blockchain you can simplify the problem to a workflow with states where the parties sign the different transitions and the logic can be outside a VM. Since private blockchains rely on a lot of oracles, those oracles are the weakest link in the security chain and the VM does not add significant security like in a public blockchain.

Governments care about the health of their economy

Yes, so long as they are in control of it. If the Chinese people start doing significant number of transactions in x-coin and not in Yuan then they lose their largest lever of power.

No. Your point would have been demonstrated if China had banned cryptocurrencies.

They don't need to yet because the cryptos aren't big enough. What they did is put significant brakes on them to make sure they can manage and track the rise/growth through known intermediaries - which is exactly what they did.

Banning them outright would have been too big of a move at this point and would have likely caused more instability than they wanted.

China actually covets their position as a leader in Bitcoin and altcoins mining, so they are protecting their economic advantage by NOT banning cryptocurrencies.

Chinese miners might, but the PnB certainly doesn't. In fact most of the big "Mines" are way outside of cities where they don't get much scrutiny. The PnB is probably looking to see if they can co-opt the situation, rather than let it run on it's own. I wouldn't put it past them to try and centralize it to make sure it falls under PnB purview - effectively having the same impact as making it parity with Yuan.
It's your choice to have a kid. My wife and I are waiting to meet a certain household income before having kids. I have little sympathy for people who are poor, have kids, and complain about how expensive it is.

As a game designer this resonated with me:
"
it’s easy to say “yes” because you already wanted to have X and you’ve already thought about how you’d go about making it happen. People love you, your work is valuable, and you don’t want to say no. "

Along the way in my career I heard something that I remind myself to help me with this problem:

> so right wing they can't even get anything passed by their own party.

I do have to say this part has amused me the most, as a registered independent who leans heavily socially liberal (I'm more conservative when it comes to economic issues - but more in the sense that I want money going to things that advance the species, rather than destroy it).

I certainly expected after the last election to see a steamroller of conservative GOP legislation being passed left and right. Instead, we got a bunch of EOs - and a stalled Congress. I was not expecting that.

Not that I like it, mind you...
To expand on this, we consider the following changes to be okay or "not really a breaking change" (see also: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html#what-ar...):

- Patching up soundness holes causing previously-unsound code to error (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/43651 is an example)

- Changing inference in a way that may require new annotations

- Adding types and things to modules which may cause clashes on glob imports (steve's example above)

- Adding methods to types (this may cause code calling trait methods to require disambiguation via the fully qualified UFCS syntax)

- Adding new trait impls (similar disambiguation issues)

- Lint changes (If you `#[deny(lint)]` a lint, this may cause compilation failures). Cargo passes --cap-lints=warn to dependencies so a lint change will at most cause your dependencies to spew extra warnings and cause your code to stop compiling, in a way that's trivial to fix (allow the lint, or fix the warning).

In general for all releases we run cargobomb to look out for breakages, both "okay" ones and not okay ones. Additionally, for the first two kinds of breakages (and other miscellaneous iffy changes) we proactively cargobomb. Even if something is technically allowed by our stability rules we want to make sure that practically speaking it has minimal impact.
