There's lots of great sentimental comments in here, but not much about her innate sense of business and value of her craft.

>Then she was introduced to the founders of a Chicago upstart called Recycled Paper Greetings. Mike Keiser and Phil Friedmann liked her animals and offered to pay her $50 a design. “I want a royalty,” she remembers saying. “They said, ‘It’s just never done.’ ” But in the end, they agreed.

>Keiser recalls that when Boynton signed on, the company was doing about $1 million a year in sales. Within five years their annual revenue topped $100 million, almost all because of Sandra Boynton.

To be a young upstart making cards by hands and say that to card company takes a lot of strength and foresight.
Just checked and my upgrade cost is only $11 which I can't really argue with ;)
There are Git plugins, but Git is not integrated into Sublime itself. There are many many Git plugins though, all great ones :)

how so?
> There is an undeniable conflict between religious belief and the scientific process.

How? I pray and do hypothesis testing, recording experiments that lead to independently reproducible results. I don't see why I couldn't even follow the scientific method for religious reasons.

> The scientific process has answered [questions about nature] well enough that today's religious beliefs have shrunk in size

But the scientific process doesn't answer "why" they happen. It explains mechanisms, but not why they exist. An atheist and/or agnostic answer is "There's no 'why' to be had. Cause and effect plus time eventually lead to hurricanes", but that's actually circular reasoning, since the scientific process presumes a materialist perspective, partly so that theists and atheists can learn about nature without arguing about theology.

"Why", therefore, is a metaphysical, philosophical, and theological question and outside the scope of reproducible and reasoned-through hypothesis testing and observation of material things like matter and energy.

> They claim the universe was created by an all knowing God, without a definition of what the God is, and stonewalling further enquiry into the topic.

Some do. Some don't. Lots of theists are more than happy to talk about these issues in a candid, honest, and reasonable way. They may seem to be hard to find, but part of that is religion is considered uncivil conversation these days, even if the tone of the conversation is benignly analytical.
I don't think being clever with code necessarily equates to having common sense. If he had common sense, he would have went on his merry way without bragging on the internet...
I'd rather know what that article was trying to tell us.

They're just new packages (ide-*) that you can install. AFAICT nothing is included in Atom core.
3D-Coat is a fairly fully featured model creation package. It has very good texturing facilities, not as good as Substance or Modo, but very good.

Actually the single best feature in 3D-Coat is its UV unwrapping and editing functionality.

Are you really untraceable if you switch from ETH to BTC and then to dollars or euros? I don't really know how Ethereum works, but if every transaction is recorded, whichever exchange he used would have the origin ETH and destination BTC wallets and whichever bank account it's going to, wouldn't it? I would appreciate some insight on that.
There are cults, groups and generally evil people who gain memeber ship thru words - brain washing - those groups then cause physical harm, waiting for the harm to happen doesn't sound like protecting society

We're talking about taking Genesis literally. Genesis 6 uses the phrase "sons of God" which contradicts the Nicene creed which states "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God".
Agreed, downvoting and flagging valid comments is rampant.
Bar none, my favorite editor. I try to use Vim only sometimes to make sure I keep those commands in shape, but Sublime remains for hardcore work. It breaks my heart that it's closed source.

I do wonder sometimes how much the app makes and/or how much someone would have to pay the developer to open source it.
I'm a daily user since 2012, and I'm glad they made me pay for the upgrade. Best editor ever.

Sublime makes cross-platform development easy, and it's so much faster than the alternatives.
> "According to Lee Nackman, Chief Technology Officer of IBM's Rational division (originating in 2003) at that time, the name 'Eclipse' (dating from at least 2001) was not a wordplay on Sun Microsystems, as the product's primary competition at the time of naming was Microsoft Visual Studio, which Eclipse was to eclipse."

Perhaps an alternative to running your own services is using paid services where you are the company's source of income. And diversify the services you use among different providers (i.e. don't use Google-everything.)
This is a very valid thought. I'm not sure why it's being downvoted.

In Christian theology, "belief" and "faith" is nothing more or less than what you put your trust in. Everyone trusts in many things and people all the time. From that perspective, the big question is whether a thing is trustworthy (science, God, seat belts), not whether trusting at all is even optional.
>It's sovereignty, which manifests as immunity

The immunity is the problem. If there are ways to fix the immunity while keeping the sovereignty then those would be potentials solutions.

>But some tribal claims go back thousands of years one specific tribe near my hometown has been inhabiting the region for 8,000 years

Maybe I missed it in the wikipedia article, but proof that village has been inhabited for millennia isn't proof that the same group had ownership the entire time. There are plenty of cities in Europe which one can look at to see this.

Also, it didn't include the strong evidence of a lasting culture.

>We have slowly been working on that trust in my hometown, it's a long road. Good luck.

Sorry, I'm not one for standing by while abuse happens. If I ever get the chance to stop the abuse, I'll take it. If that means voting for someone who ends the immunity, so be it.

Linux finally has a decent text editor!
That's the wrong question.

You have contracting engineers. They get nervous if you pay slow.

Presumably they are good people. You want to keep them. You want to attract more, better engineers.

Pay them in 2 hours.

Imagine what happens then.

Happiness.

Ability to recruit.

Improvement to your cash flow. You don't have to pay more if you remove collection risk from your engineers' brains. And they have instant cash.

Pay instantly and frequently.
mmm I wanted to edit my post but it seems to get locked after time. So just adding a comment with some info and corrections on the topic.

- Atom on linux uses GTK+[0].

- GTK+ uses XLib[1].

- From the wikipedia link "Xlib makes the client synchronous with respect to replies and events." so much for js being async ;)

- Do anybody know how workable chrome or even firefox is over the x window protocol?

It probably isn't as irrational as it sounds. I wish I still had a link to it, but I saw a more serious analysis that points out that the amount of ground an EMP nuke can cover has the radius go up linearly as the yield increases, and that the nuke that North Korea had would only be strong enough to knock out a radius of some rather small number of miles. I don't quite recall exactly but I want to say it's on the order of ten. At this point, it's pretty likely that the EMP radius of the North Korea tech is smaller than its inaccuracy if they actually tried to hit us right now, meaning they might just nuke a 10 mile radius in the ocean, or in the mountains or something.

The idea that one little nuke from North Korea could take out the whole of the United States in one shot is fantasy, so defending against that is not necessarily a high priority. For further evidence for this, consider that if entire countries could be nuked back to the stone age so easily, the Cold War likely would have ended differently, and much sooner.

You want to take about "taking out the entire United States" in one shot, look to the Big Nuke in the Sky. Or those targeted terrorist scenarios. (Which are still harder than they sound, honestly. Trying to coordinate such strikes such that they all go off at once without a hitch and with no possible response sounds easy to those who have never tried it, as if it's as easy as just telling everyone to fire at 11:32am or something. But there's a lot of issues between the idea and the reality. There aren't all that many instances of that working in history, and even the ones that come close still have failures, like 9/11 did.)

But the simple reality is probably that it is impossible to insure society against this level of disaster. We already have 7 billion people in the world, very few of which are willing to agree that they can forgo food and water and such now to help insure against such things, and the system basically hums along at capacity. To build such hardened infrastructure would require that we raise the standard to the point that the system would then be humming along at well over capacity, which basically means in the attempt to prevent the disaster we'd be bringing the exact same disaster upon ourselves.
There is "VIntage Mode" for ST, but unfortunately it's not entirely accurate and also doesn't support some commands. VSCode's VIM plugin is more complete.
If the citizens don't want it, then of course it's game over.

If the citizens do want it, you can just gradually make private car ownership more expensive and less convenient vs public transit.

Anecdotally many anti-public transit opinions from US folks seem to be around having the less well-to-do present in buses, complaints about hygiene and/or safety. So maybe improve the social safety net at the same time, or go full classist and have separate 1st class & 2nd class compartments.
I don't know about Flow, but in Typescript you can still fire up a REPL and play around. The difference is that the typechecker validates every command you run. This is enough for small experiences, e.g., when you want to validate an algorithm. But yes, in the case you want to rerun your application to test your changes, the feedback cycle is a bit longer. But I find acceptable considering that static-typing makes refactoring significantly easier and less risky, which is important when working on large projects.
Oh I agree. But unfortunately a lot of stuff that’s bad (e.g. how criminal defendants were treated before the 1980s) gets fixed only because it’s also unconstitutional. If you’re a middle class American you’ve probably never had to carry a large amount of cash around because you’ve got a bank account/PayPal. So it doesn’t affect your vote if cops are going around seizing cash from drug dealers and lower class people are getting caught up in the net.

As someone who greatly under-utilizes Sublime, I'm still amazed at the ease with which it handles crazy, large files. I never even notice it until someone remarks on how I'm able to open a ~20 Mb file without hassle.
Beginning today, all official Caddy binaries come with an End User License Agreement (EULA) that designates them either for Personal (non-commercial) or Commercial use. To be clear, this EULA applies only to Caddy binaries you download; it does not apply to the source code. Caddy is still open source, and the source code is under the same Apache 2.0 license.

Thanks for keeping it open source. I'm very interested in how this business model will work, glad to see people trying different approaches.
The fairytale for startup employees is probably Microsoft and its 10,000 millionaires. But that was two generations ago. A generation ago, it was 'The Google Chef' and far fewer millionaires though several thousand. While WhatsApp created a lot of wealth, it did not create a lot of wealthy people. That seems to be the trend.

OpenShot is pretty good. Good enough that when they finally ported it to OSX I switched to it from iMovie.
It's a first world fallacy that you need to eat steak every day—or any other large animal for that matter.

It doesn't take a lot of land to raise chickens and with a few, you already have more eggs than you know what to do, ergo you can pool that with neighbors. Someone can own a cow, which requires 1 acre of pasture but produces enough milk for many families.

If you want to see what this looks like at scale, just look at the countryside in Europe a century ago. Villages are mostly townhouses all huddled together, often with long-stretching back yards supporting vegetable gardens, and fields all around. Is that hard work? You bet! A lot more physically demanding than city life. But also more sustainable. The downside of course being that there's so much focus on basic sustenance that few people can devote time to occupations of the mind (which is primarily what cities are devoted to). It seems over time the 2 models have fought each other and the city has won, but a question to ask is if this has been at the cost of resilliency.

To me, this is the attraction of suburbia. Not the nice lawns (though I have one) or country clubs, but the ability to have one foot in the city and keep at least a toe in the countryside, with my own vegetables.
So basically social justice warriors tried to start a COC-based witch-hunt to get someone removed from nodejs, they failed, and now they are bitter about the whole affair, and forked node into a irrelevant nonofficial repo?

Jamie Dimon Slams Bitcoin as a ‘Fraud’
> In ruling against Rawls, the court of appeals has decided that his constitutional rights against being forced to self-incriminate are not being breached. This is because of an exception to the fifth amendment known as a “foregone conclusion”, which is when authorities already know something exists – in this case, police say they know there are child abuse images on the hard drives because they have a witness who saw the files (Rawls’ sister).

> Why don’t they go to trial without the files allegedly stored on the encrypted devices? It comes down to reasonable doubt.

If there is genuinely reasonable doubt that the disk contains CP, then it cannot be a foregone conclusion that the disk contains CP.

If it is a foregone conclusion that the disk contains CP, then the judge should simply instruct the jury to that effect. The jury might disagree, but that's why we have juries: so that the justice system doesn't imprison people for years without independent oversight.

In particular, Cassini is expected to burn up at about 6:30am on Friday morning, but because the light travel time from Saturn will be ~83mins, Cassini's signal will not fall silent until 7:53-7:55am.
Science is based on "methodological naturalism" - assuming that everything in nature have natural causes.

This is the framework where science is made - it is not necessary to believe that it is true (that's called "metaphysical naturalism"), just work by the assumption.

That's why there can be religious scientists. They apply methodological naturalism at work (they explain everything without appealing to the supernatural), but they maybe believe in virgin birth / resurrection / other miracles, so they actually believe that naturalism in the metaphysical sense is false.

The successes of science may provide some confirmation that naturalism may be true in reality but of course can't prove it undoubtedly. But in practice it may work in this way: http://www.pewforum.org/2009/11/05/scientists-and-belief/
Google still treats most punctuation as spaces within phrase searches. For example, the latter search would match a sentence/clause transition like "ITU-T: 800 items". There are enough results actually mentioning T.800 that you probably won't see that, but if it's a genuinely rare phrase you can end up with multiple pages completely full of useless results. For example, there was an article posted to HN a while back in which an interviewee mentioned "race liberals" as a political alignment. When I tried searching for this phrase, Google almost exclusively matched "race, liberals" and "race. Liberals".
Not when Atom is pretty much the exact same thing but open-source and free.
Of course, there is a conflict between religion and science. They are based on competing and inconsistent methods of acquiring knowledge. On one hand, the empirical scientific method, and on the other revelation, authority, and faith. Whether you're a Biblical literalist or a Church of England progressive, your religion makes some truth claims that are not supportable on scientific grounds.

But this doesn't mean that science and religion necessarily have to be at war, or that one has to lose for the other to win. Human beings aren't perfectly logically consistent. We're quite adept at compartmentalising our minds so that we can apply one set of standards here and another there. A single human being can be a biblical literalist and a coldly-logical scientist at the same time.
I disagree: Stallman doesn't understand that while others value freedom, they don't often value it to the same extent he does in their 'list of primary values' per this talk.

I value freedom, but I value other things more. As the talk mentions, that doesn't make me wrong. Stallman would suggest it does.
I'm ready for the new wave of interest in Julia as the language gets close to a stable 1.0 release. I jumped into Julia a few years ago just to test the waters and found it at least as pleasant as R or Python for basic and not-so-basic data tasks.

If I could wave a wand and choose what language I write day-to-day I would still rather have a full S-expression lisp like Racket, but a Dylan-like language with good performance and well-considered libraries is a solid consolation prize.

If Julia can get RStudio to extend tooling support to Julia (unlikely, because if this were easy, they'd have done so for Python already), or if someone like Julia Computing can replicate the RStudio experience, the future for Julia will be interesting.

If anyone out there uses R with Emacs Speaks Statistics, and wants a pleasant surprise, give Julia a shot and see that ESS supports Julia out of the box.

"A Possible Link Between Pyriproxyfen and Microcephaly

The Zika virus is the primary suspect in the large increase in microcephaly cases in 2015-6 in Brazil,
however its role is unconfirmed despite individual cases of viral infections found in neural tissue. Here
we consider the alternative that the insecticide pyriproxyfen, used in Brazilian drinking water for
mosquito control, may actually be the cause. Pyriproxifen is an analog of juvenile hormone, which
corresponds in mammals to regulatory molecules including retinoic acid, a vitamin A metabolite,
with which it has cross-reactivity and whose application during development causes microcephaly.
Methoprene, another juvenile hormone analog approved as an insecticide has metabolites that bind
to the retinoid X receptor, and causes developmental disorders in mammals. Isotretinoin is another
example of a retinoid causing microcephaly in human babies via activation of the retinoid X receptor.
Moreover, tests of pyriproxyfen by the manufacturer, Sumitomo, widely quoted as giving no evidence
for developmental toxicity, actually found some evidence for such an effect, including low brain
mass and arhinencephaly—incomplete formation of the anterior cerebral hemispheres—in rat pups.
Finally, the pyriproxyfen use in Brazil is unprecedented—it has never before been applied to a water
supply on such a scale. Claims that it is not being used in Recife, the epicenter of microcephaly cases,
do not distinguish the metropolitan area of Recife, where it is widely used, and the municipality,
where it is not. Given this combination of information we strongly recommend that the use of
pyriproxyfen in Brazil be suspended pending further investigation.

So pop-psyc to act gay but not be gay would rule out many cultures, genders and age groups.

So I'd go with they are a hetrosexual man, late 20's to early 30's. Western upbringing in an English speaking country.

They chose Tider over Grinder, because that's part of the story, the surprise. But they could have just said date, hence I think they are reasonable mature. It's a little clever.

Given they chose a Australia actor, I'd guess they are a New Zealander.
We found that between 4% and 10% of the web’s encrypted traffic (HTTPS) is intercepted. Analyzing these intercepted connections further reveals that, while not always malicious, interception products most often weaken the encryption used to secure communication and puts users at risk.
The very quick exclusive lock that postgres needs for things that are normally thought of as "free" like `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` without a default can still cause problems on tables that are under extremely heavy contention. If you have hundreds of clients running long transactions against a table, even this fast metadata-only lock can cause an outage due to head-of-line blocking. Our team has had good luck with this lock-polling approach for migrations against very busy tables [1]. The idea is that you combine `lock_timeout` and attempt to `LOCK TABLE IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE` in a loop prior to running the DDL. Note that this is only safe for migrations that are actually instantaneous once the lock is acquired.
