Ah, I see. Thanks for the information on that.
i'm sure the representation of indians is growing and growing. so is it really racism?
> One problem with this, though, is that I'm still just telling my readers what to do.

I would advise you to not write tutorials based in questions. But I've read on the diagonal your JS debugging tutorial, and it seems quite "dry" because you are really telling the users to "do this, do that, etc.".

I'm a CS teacher, and my approach for my lab classes is to write what I call "guided tutorials", i.e., I guide my students to the answers (as a sequence of steps) but I do not give them the answers. It is a kind of middle thing between something based on questions and a step-by-step tutorial, and it works very well for me.

I can send you an example that I gave to one of my classes on network sockets, if you want to check it out (in portuguese though). My email is in my profile.
I am typing this on a T420 although I just have 12gb not 16gb. No complaints. I like being able to swap the hard drives really quickly instead of messing with partition and the keyboard IMO is better then the new lenovo keyboards. If you are concerned about battery remember they are removable on the T420. In fact I often carry around an extra to double the battery life.

I also on a Macbook Pro and frankly it is nicer in many ways but if you money strapped it probably isn't worth the price.
Yes, and LIGO itself is stretching/squeezing about a thousandth of the diameter of a proton!
It looks to me like Firestore's API doesn't include a "default" way to upload user edits to documents. Conflict detection is possible using the transactions - https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-data/update-d... - you can do something like HTTP's PUT If-Unmodified-Since (or PUT If-Match).
A search on "non-blocking garbage collection" turns up almost a million hits.

I imagine, that as tired of you are hearing about it, it is worse for the people who are subject to discrimination every day. Like the assertions that you just made about how certain races value education.

So, basically, stop being such a snowflake.

Also, next time, try not to directly contradict yourself in the same comment:

> urban black CULTURE does not value education

> CONTENT OF CHARACTER. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT SKIN COLOR

Pick one, but you don't get both.

Is godawful rainbow design the new thing now? First Mozilla, and now Dropbox?
My younger cousin bought a (low-class) sports car for about a third of that price and modded it out to 200 horsepower. Any time I hear a price go over 10k I cringe.
I'm almost middle-aged and I've never owned a new car.

My current car cost me $2,000 a few years ago. I can't imagine paying $17k for a Hyundai, of all things. I'd have to be seduced by some kind of sexy rare classic.

I have another running car, a hideous Subaru, that I bought for $100. That's my backup.
We actually have an ENS domain purchased and plan on deploying it to IPFS as well!
The problem here is overtreatment. As a male, you'll sooner or later most likely get prostate cancer. Most men die before it becomes a problem though.
The T420 has better specs, especially on that RAM, but I'd expect the 6th Gen i3 to have superior battery life and also better single-threaded performance.

Lenovo's T-line of laptops used to be pretty good. I hear that recently they've cheapened up the production line. So I don't think you can go wrong as long as you're willing to put up with subpar battery life (Sandy Bridge, 2nd Gen Intel, has much worse battery life than modern processors)
But also irrevocable once someone find a way to duplicate it in the eyes of the usually not that well designed system it's actually used against. It's even worse then using birthdays as a basic for IT numbers in that regards.
Great to read this; i want to start doing a bit of Clojure and this is a great suggestion: to start from the browser-side.

Misdemeanor convictions (i.e. less than a year of incarceration) may be served in a jail. Felony terms are served in prisons.

I am not very familiar with this, and it probably varies by state.
Further, I think there should be notifications when our credit information changes. How this information is sent is a really good question, but instead of us having to search for modifications, it should just be pushed.
If I'm not mistaken, he invented the predecessor of the Bipolar Junction Transistor, which was the type that was actually commercialized.

Should I really be so excited for built-in query support in 2017? For a mature product supported by a dominant tech company? Because I am.
Indeed there can be more than one lingua-franca, much as Fortran and Pascal shared the native machine with C. But they all have in common that they added little by way of run-time dependencies, and a web lingua franca would also need this property.

But on the web, the basic "built-in" run-time is much richer than was available to those languages. It includes the DOM and many other things. JavaScript already exposes all those things, and no more, so I think it is ideally placed to become (remain) the dominant lingua franca.

So even if the WASM world is multi-lingual, expect APIs to be described in JS terms, maybe with some kind of backward-compatible type decoration thrown in.
It's not a very plausible assumption that your competitors are racially biased but your investors and customers aren't.
>>If I were planning something shady there's probably a lot of stupid questions I'd need to Google for, but I'd at least do it on public library wifi and download a Tor browser or something..

Google will never find out what you do on your home PC, especially using TOR /some other engine (Google displays the captcha often on TOR). Even if they did, it would be illegal and /or super secret and they'd never reveal it in court. Now, if shady means that NSA is after you, not so sure.

However, if you want to steal from Google and use their computer to search their search engine from their office...I guess you deserve to get caught. Let's not forget that Google has a right to safeguard their trade secrets and when you accept the job, you agree to their terms.
"Mooch off you"? My grandfather isn't in the best shape (he was diagnosed with alzheimer's last year) and I want to make sure the few years he has left, he can enjoy them (even if he won't remember everything).

My mom has one brother, and I'm an only child, so I will (probably) indirectly inherit a decent amount of his wealth. And yet, I couldn't care less.

Yes, an inheritance is nice to receive. But I'd give it up in a heartbeat if it meant having a person you love around for another 10+ years.
That's not true. Wealthy people often do a lot of nice things for the homeless, and most of wealthy people didn't get rich taking money from the extremely poor.

Pai and his ISP masters know that. That probably was their plan all along. Get sued, then ask the Congress to pass a "law" that would "put the debate to rest", while not actually preventing any anti-competitive abuse because of all the holes in that law. Given current situation in the Congress you should expect that. The same Congress just voted for Pai.

Guess you're both wrong. (And you're also wrong.)
I cannot imagine how you got that out of my comment. I think people ought to educate themselves about the laws and customs of their state and avoid the places where this stuff takes place like the plague. Or, failing that, get a really good lawyer.
I also think that SecondLife stands on its own as far as scale and ambition. And although I can imagine it being engineered better, I can't point to any other project that is similar enough to use as a legitimate example of better quality.

In a way it almost seems like the inverse of Craigslist. SecondLife feels so over-the-top and sloppy that I think someone will come along with some new technologies and replace it with a leaner more performant product. But they haven't.
If I am 79 years old and have had everything taken from me by a monster I might be spending the rest of my life in a different kind of facility than the culprit had in mind.
I didn't say that's what the parent was saying. Comically you're misconstruing what I think the parent said.

I said, very clearly, that speculating on whether Paul would be ok with just having four years of retirement, is pointless speculation and impolite - or worse - toward the family he left behind. It is. A few seconds of thinking in empathy first, would prevent the entire discussion over what Paul may or may not have been interested in. Frankly, I don't even like having to explain the obviousness of how crude this conversation is.

To be clear, it's not an issue of whether discussing retirement matters in general in this thread is obnoxious. It's about speculating on Paul's specific choices or preferences. That is obnoxious.
A similar question I had (and found on NCBI):

Answer: nearly all of them
Deepstream.io is a cloud platform and opensource real-time server that provides rule based permissions, authentication and a real-time data store that can be plugged into different any database (we use Postgres under the hood for the cloud).

It provides the same name document/collection concepts, but search abilities are still under development.

Side note, Im one of the cofounders :D

Generally this move by Firebase makes a lot of sense! Building large real-time apps usually requires smaller documents or else things get super odd at scale.
Depending on the state, getting a Destructive Device tax stamp and local law enforcement approval, Americans can currently privately own fully-functional, diesel-powered traverse, towed, anti-aircraft 40 mm auto-cannons if they were made before some treaty (I can’t remember which one). They’re several hundred thousand dollars and the shells are hundreds of dollars each. That’s right: moderately rich people can own their very own artillery in some states like Arizona.

I think they already had revenue and they were profitable before taking the money https://www.inc.com/profile/messagebird. Maybe their growth in terms of revenue and profits, really got investors excited. However they do have to payout telecoms so that revenue may not mean too much.

I am curious why they decided to join YC? Was it a ego thing. What proof do they have that their service is better than Twilio?
Get a 15-inch MacBook Pro. TouchBar is the best for programming.
Of course I happened to click on the bottom right square without thinking. Not recommended!
Saving and reloading object state across code changes is one of those things that if you don't build it in to the language from day one, it's really hard to add it in later. I wouldn't expect Go to get it anytime soon.

Even if you do manage to hack it in to something that wasn't designed with it in mind, it's always hacky, quirky, and unreliable, and you never quite know whether you're looking at a bug in your own code or in the state management hackery.

It isn't impossible. You are technically correct. But it's certainly taking impossible out for drinks, followed by long strolls on the beach, and a lot of meaningful staring.
The bureaus allow lifting a freeze temporarily, but there could be a fee, depending on what state you live in.
Nonsense. If the majority of a race gravitates to having such a shitty "culture" that values ignorance, then calling it a "culture and socioeconomic issue" is simply tap dancing around the actual issue.
Don't plan to live your life when you retire. You will spend the majority of your life working, so better make sure you find something you enjoy. Live today.

I've been using used Thinkpad and Thinkpad competitors (Dell Latitude) forever. There always seems to be a big supply of used corporate computers. I just upgraded to a T450s and it's fantastic.
Thanks for the clarification. I certainly feel better with the confirmation. I hope it will give some certainty to thousands of developers out there who decided to make Firebase Realtime Database a critical component of their product architecture.
Sure, glad to have this conversation.

1. I don't think I need to provide evidence that black culture does not value education. Call me racist, whatever you want - but this is an obvious truth.

2. This is difficult to quantify, maybe it's gotten worse - the underlying issue remains.

3. I specify "urban" culture because I believe the issue of representation is due almost entirely to culture and socioeconomics. You will not see black kids from double-educated-parent households from the suburbs struggling in academia or the workforce. Totally agree, race is non-issue. Could be white, asian, latino, whatever.
That's interesting. Could you please share how is the TouchBar the best for programming?
I thought sci-hub was only available as an onion. I'm genuinely surprised they're available on the open web.
For a brand new car that's not the a lot, the problem is she bought a brand new car.

Americans are being groomed to think in monthly payments rather than the total cost which leads to silly decisions like buying a brand new car instead of a getting a used car.
Male with the most common American male name from 1950-2000 here (and top 5 for the last 100 years or more). I don't even hear my name when spoken in public, I only hear familiar voices or my last name (I usually give a fake name when ordering food or waiting for tires, etc). I went to a large high school and a small college. There were 3-4 persons with my same name in every class. Eventually everyone refers to you by your last name or a nickname. This has not stopped even into adulthood.

Even as a professional working for a small business, I get re-introduced over and over again to the same people. I'm sure that my words and appearance play a role in that as well, but surely my name is not helping.
Sadly many people give too many fucks about skin color.

However, I agree with you. Skin color is but one variable - you could just as easily discriminate on hair color, or height.

Lets just all agree that we are members of the human race.

Originally an internal tool I built for testing my own projects from mobile, I recently decided to clean up and submit Getworks to the app store. It currently supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods, JSON, XML, text, or x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, and basic and token authentication, with support for additional auth and methods coming soon. I also added a feature that utilizes the Postman API to automatically import existing collections. Down the road I plan to make the Postman syncing seamless with changes on mobile automatically saving to Postman (currently changes made on Getworks are not saved to Postman). Looking for feedback, please feel free to e-mail me at the address in my bio for a promo code.
Everyone, including undocumented workers, are already thoroughly, completely, exhaustively tracked.

Replacing SSN would daylight this fact, exposing an inconvenient truth.
In the C standard, a cast from unsigned to signed integer is undefined behavior if it overflows. So the compiler can, indeed, assume that "x" is always positive in the code snippet above - if the value of "u" is such that it would require signed wraparound when initializing "x", the rest of the program is U.B., and so that possibility doesn't even have to be considered.
I am amazed that this has not gotten more attention here, given the amount of attention a story gets when <insert your favorite famous tech mogul here> says we might be living in a simulation. We are not. This also argues against simulations of the human brain, or possibly, most biological systems, including even individual proteins. The complexity is simply far greater than anyone can even begin to comprehend. Anyone who wrangles with real scientific data learns this very quickly. The number of very intelligent people led astray by this should serve as a caution to us all to dial down the near-religious fervor with which we greet almost all of their pronouncements.

That's exactly what I meant, you can see me explain in other comments.

Assume good intent in people, come on guys.

Since we're talking about minorities, I felt the need to specify "urban black" culture, but I agree. "Urban <any race>" culture is suffering from anti-intellectualism.
I thought they were using the new "parametric" font scaling technology but they just swap the fonts at different breakpoints.
"You can also make a explicit is better than implicit argument;"

While I'm generally an explicit sort of guy in these contexts, there isn't much that being explicit buys you here, except the ability to write bugs. There's really only one right answer and the compiler is perfectly capable of handling it. In the exceedingly rare cases where you need to override it, you can. Given how exceedingly rare those cases are we're easily in the realm of "use another language" or "fork & hack the runtime" sorts of things.
Are Jump Tables Always Fastest?

> “I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” - Steve Jobs.

I agree with the sentiment, but it's also very easy for someone as financially secure as Jobs to make that call.
Not only the new car (I will never own one), but bought it before she had the job. And then didn't get the job.
I’m curious about something. Asking as someone who doesn’t make a living slinging code, and who is kind of terrified of mobile development because of all the UI stuff (xcode makes me want to cry), in case any pro mobile devs want to answer: is the UI part the real pain point here?

It seems to me like it must be, rather than the cross-platform thing, because what people are producing seems heavily weighted toward “here are UI components you can use” (or even in the react native case “here’s an entirely different way of doing UI, yanked straight from webland”). Whereas if it were just a matter of sharing a codebase across platforms, it seems like it would be easier to work on a compiler-side, e.g. by extending clojure, scala, etc. to compile to swift.

But maybe that’s just my bias because I look at any ui code from anything and my eyeballs start to bleed.
On the other hand there are also those people who are quite active and just don't wake up some morning in their early 40s.
It certainly was - but it was also spread much, much slower, and filtered (by those passing it along) on every step of that way.
If it didn't work with React Native and the much richer Javascript/Typescript world, what makes you think that Go will magically make it better?

I get that you like Go, logically (although emotionally, I can only feel confusion from such an idea). But no one has even remotely offered an idea what advantages Go brings to this table other than "I like it!"

Which is cool, but I loathe it. So unless there are compelling things in this framework (hence my question) this seems like a great way to use worse tooling and an awkwardly shoehorned language to fail to accomplish exactly what other frameworks have failed to do.
Name + DOB + SSN are mostly unique. No guarantees.
So what _should_ we replace SSNs with? Obviously some kind of system based on asymmetric cryptography would be ideal, but what system, specifically?

There are a lot of competing concerns here, not the least among them being privacy. For example, if a system based on public key cryptography becomes commonplace in the US, will websites start using that same system for authentication? There are some rather significant privacy issues associated with having a government issued, globally unique ID associated with your account on random websites.

Maybe this is something the tech industry in the US should be involved in? I imagine lots of companies would jump at the chance to be involved in a standards group designing a unified method for citizen authentication in the US.

So:

firebase <-- presence, real-time editing, chat, in-memory things

firestore <-- things that have a save/submit button, transactional database

quick question:
So the real-time features in firestore are not ideal for real-time text editors and chats. But saving documents from firebase after to user has left is perhaps a good middle ground.

Would firestore charge read for each reader that's listening in real-time when a document is updated?
OK, so I basically know next to nothing about cryptocurrencies. I do know, however, that Bitcoin is undergoing a cooling of sorts on account of the block difficulty getting higher and higher. As a result, transactions now take forever to verify and fees are going up. At some point, unless drastic steps are taken, this will presumably result in a "heat death of the universe" scenario. (I guess the software is constantly getting updated and there's battle over forks etc., but this can only go so far, right?)

To what extent does this happen with Ethereum, and won't it mean that distributed applications will basically become unworkable at some point in the future?
The chrome extension contains all necessary assets locally, which then has the embedded video player in it. So no web host necessary, except for initial signups/explaining the product.
Yes, and I suspect the main complication is the learner.

I instinctively teach socratically, even when I don't mean to. But when I was a post-doc, I had a student who usually couldn't answer my questions or make any progress no matter how much I tried to break a problem into bite sized pieces.

Then along came the proffessor, who would just calmly and simply tell the guy the thing that I had been trying to explain socratically. And the student had no trouble understanding.
I have a T420s and it’s held up very well, and is very repairable.
