Please don't do that. Describing tribes as "nations" is a silly neologism when they did it in North America, and it's even sillier when applied to the even more primitive social structures that existed in pre-colonisation Australia.

None of the commercial Unixes survived Linux and the BSDs outside of increasingly specialized niches (well, I guess Darwin did). Oracle was the specific mechanism by which Solaris shuffled off this mortal coil, yes, but the last decade of it's life was not a foregone conclusion when Sun folded. The others are just as dead, but in their own ways.

Nobody is asking for a round of applause for Oracle, but the scorn poured on them for this seems misplaced.
sounds interesting, but whats the licensing going to be like? Windows Server is licensed to allow you to host as many container under it, since the host (or VM) they are running on is licensed... Not sure what will happen when they are hosted elsewhere... still cool...
This is good advice, though it's really the sort of thing you need to get right first time if it matters to you - caches/archives will make "undoing" an edit possible a lot of the time.

I was on digg but stopped using the site as it was overrun by pedos and not wanting to be associated with child-rapists I was part of the reddit-exodus. Reddit was even worse than digg, still is. I complained about violentacres and his ilk to no avail. I gave up using the site 1009 days ago. I cannot understand how anyone would use a site that does not harshly punish anyone like that or want to be associated with such a site in any way.

Good grief. If there's one side which doesn't do that, it's the left (not that the US actually has a left, mind; there's just "not as right as the GOP".)
More likely that when you don't get it, that you're probably not the target audience. B2B companies typically have pretty narrow target personas, wither their very own set of needs and challenges. They need to get it. The rest does not really matter.

It's completely absurd to put the burden of training completely on the employee. Culturally we need to stop accepting this.

Why is that so absurd? Part of the culture in tech is that there is no loyalty on the side of the company or the employee -- I'm okay with that. The company can lay me off at anytime but I can also change jobs and take the skills I learned with me and probably earn a higher pay anytime. What incentive does a company have to train employees in that environment?
The article mentions yurts and then goes on saying "at the same time the frameless dome provides a living area that is protected by a solid insulated waterproof shell. This is absent in these other lightweight structures."

I beg to differ! Yurts as used in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan often have several layers, at least one of them being water-proof. The innermost layer is often wool, which offers excellent insulation and can be dried quickly when it gets wet from prespiration, offering some sort of climate control. Mongolians experience ultra harsh continental climate, going from -40°C in winter to +40°C in the summer, and they have used yurts for centuries.

The article headline is:

"Wind Energy Is One of the Cheapest Sources of Electricity, and It's Getting Cheaper"

But their measure of "cheapness" only takes into account direct payments. Once you account for externalities like people dying of lung diseases, global warming etc. the headline would be:

"Wind Energy has been the Cheapest Source of Electricity for a while now, and It's still Getting Cheaper"

Which is a different thing entirely. For example, an EU study from 2014 already found that onshore Wind was the cheapest available power source, coming in at less than half the price of coal, once you factor in health etc.

Once those well established facts are recognized, the whole conversation about "when will wind be cheaper" seems a bit irrelevant. When will the so-called free market stop killing us? would be one alternative headline.

This is not correct. The standard construction 2x4 you buy at any lumber yard/home improvement store is specifically cut to 1.5" x 3.5". Of course wood naturally expands/contracts depending on the environment so it will never be exactly those dimensions, but quite close (+/- 1/32" I'd wager).

Likewise with plywood, most (but not all) plywood sold in the US is actually slightly undersized. 3/4" is normally 23/32" thick, 1/2" is normally 15/32" thick, etc. This isn't because the wood shrunk (though again plywood will slightly expand/contract depending on the moisture of the environment), it's because the manufacturers meant it to be a little thinner.

There are still manufacturing tolerances for both types of products, but the lumber mills know what they are doing, they know what their customers require and provide tolerances that match those. Just imagine one very common usage: a deck. You think deck builders would be happy if the dimensional lumber wasn't a) very consistently the same thickness and b) very consistently the same width? Otherwise you'd have a very bumpy deck that looked pretty irregular.
Well, of course you can create a neural network in Javascript in only 30 lines of code if you use a library!
That's pretty close indeed! Lost my idea (almost, the web-based IDE would be a bit easier to work with, and TinyBasic did not have strings or floating point), but on the other hand it must have been a good one. ;-)

> That's a bit naive. Google is not a charity and provides that service by making a profit out of user data.

Yep and that's an acceptable trade-off for the maintainers of Homebrew given that we need analytics to do our (volunteer, free-time) job adequately and we do not have financial resources for other alternatives. If you're willing to provide those financial resources indefinitely: get in touch.

> Even with no IP, Google can easily cross-references searches and the random UUID, since a typical use case is that a user installs something through Homebrew after Googling it.

That may be technically possible but I see no evidence that it is the case.

We disagree. Please consider another macOS package manager. MacPorts is a good alternative.

This is exactly how I felt growing up. It wasn't until actually looking at the practical applications of math that I got it. Doing equations for the sake of it without any actual context constantly frustrated me to no end and made me hate math and physics because it made me feel incompetent and stupid, it's been a struggle getting rid of this feeling even to date.

>Learning the time tables for example - you just have to do lots of exercises to get used to multiplying. No way around that.

Learning how to perform mental arithmetic with the aid of pencil and paper was a way to escape from the grind of farm work. One could get a respectable job as a clerk. However with the advent of electronic cash registers and smartphones a way around this later form of grind has also been found. So no need to make it compulsory. Which isn't to say that people don't choose to practice specific things they personally consider useful. Even gamers do that.

A Persistent Case in Ferguson Raises Doubts About Reform
As far as I can tell, the facts on the ground for contract work (which is to say, lower total comp than working as a FTE at one of the local big companies, lower job security, less respect, and generally slightly worse working conditions) means that when you are hiring contractors for a big company, you are hiring from a pool of people who are unable to get the same job at the same sort of company as a FTE.

Contractors making less and being less qualified aren't the facts on the ground at all in my neck of the woods. If you're making less as a contractor than the similarly skilled FTE, you're doing it wrong.

When I'm W2 contracting, I take what I think my yearly salary should be, divide by 1800 to allow for unpaid holidays, vacations, and 3 weeks to find a new gig and make that my hourly rate. I also add in a premium for the crap I know I'm going to put up with and the lack of benefits.

When you're contracting you get paid for every hour you work, if anything, being an FTE is more exploitive.

EDIT:

I guess I should add for context that I get benefits through my wife's very stable government job. That allows me to be more flexible with jumping back and forth between full time and contracting.
Posts like these should be considered click bait. If you are using a library then technically it's not you writing from scratch.

Unless you are writing vanilla JavaScript without calling other libraries, all you are doing is importing other code.

So in your count, perhaps include the number of lines of the library that is actually doing the work.
All very good points. I was just saying that in my opinion they might be intentionally abstract to make you feel like they can solve all your problems, and vague enough to convince you to leave your contact details to find out more, but the ultimate goal is to get you into the funnel. I think we agree on most points, I just think it's not necessarily a sign of incompetence.
Do you now of any research on the potential downsides of the opposite of this? I have a pre-teen son whose confidence with-- and enjoyment in-- maths outstrips his ability (although this might change in either direction). He's not cocky about it; he is more like "Damn. Only got a C. Oh well, next time..."

I can't see him hurting himself with maths, but if he decided he's gonna fix something electrical in a few years time, well that could be very bad indeed.
Indeed my whining is about the genre, but I feel the author is making some broad claims about wider applicability, for example:

"The difference in the ability of these different structures to shelter and provide a nice place to live is dramatic."

(notice the words 'place to live')

"The frameless dome pictured above is the culmination of my experience with these structures. Three and a half years after building it I am ready to advocate it as an excellent alternative lightweight structure."

('advocating an alternative structure' - one doesn't do that about tents)

"I think this frameless dome balances many of the trade-offs of lightweight structures and arrives at an optimal structure that drastically minimizes construction complexity, time and price while maximizing livability."

(again, the reference to 'livability', and wording that suggests something more permanent than a tent, like 'structure')

These are just 3 sentences, but the entire first half makes claims that go beyond 'hey this is nice to go camping in' or 'you can sleep in your backyards for a few nights in summer in this'.

A screencap of Alexandra Elbakyan's rant: http://imgur.com/a/xGwD6.

Basically, she expresses her disappointment that other people get awarded for promoting and popularizing science in Russia while she never did.

She is also unhappy that a group of Mexican researchers named a parasite insect in her honor, because it's Elsevier and other publishers who are parasites and not Sci-Hub (this is crazy, I know, but it's her logic, not mine).

So she says her farewell and wishes researchers in Russia to boil in their own shit.

This is not the first time Alexandra does crap like this; she is also known to purge all critical comments from SciHub's social accounts and to ban anyone from the community who disagrees with her or praises someone she doesn't like (such as Dmitry Zimin, who was a longtime generous sponsor of some of the most important scientific and educational foundations in Russia).
It's an OSS, so guess the first step is to build the technology, then licensing.

Is using PHP bad? I've seen speed comparisons and it is slow. I feel bad so far it's the only back end language I know unless counting JavaScript but don't currently use Node in development.

I just keep seeing it being labeled bad a lot. I guess it depends if you can avoid it right? The current company that I work for (contract hourly) is a LEMP stack built on WordPress. Ideally I could strip WordPress out and get to the core purpose of the web application but it's not at that stage yet. I like the idea of separated services
but

Edit: I saw some infographic saying PHP was too easy to use/get into and resulted in many bad coders who were using it. It's also old, whenever I'm on the manual site and see the comments dating back to 10 years haha. What about machine code running on computers.

I think it's high time that companies seriously considering using linux as their default OS. It has come a long way and it would be really easy to standardize a distribution based on hardware requirements.

10 Non-Sandwich Lunch Ideas for Kids
One reason would be price. Another reason would be software compatibility. Many people praise Windows backwards compatibility, but that's not the case in my experience, a lot of poorly written software breaks with new Windows versions, so people forced to stay with XP. I'm not sure if ReactOS would have better compatibility, but it's a chance. Also some people just want to use free software for their own reasons.
depends, it does not work well with replication
I keep trying to use each version of ReactOS in order to run the Windows XP programs, I still need some of them.
In 2017 I can't even buy Windows XP in Microsoft Store.
What are the differences between Windows and ReactOS?

There are mainly two. Firstly ReactOS is open source. Secondly ReactOS is Free. Also Windows (especially the newer versions) are known to monitor all your activity by default. So if you're concerned about your privacy or just don't want to share any personal info, we promise (and you can check our source code) that we don't track any of your data.
