Django packages are often awwwwwfully tempting but the more of them you use the more likely things are to start acting weird (they don't all play nicely together) and the more pain you're going to have upgrading Django versions. IRS really important to assess whether you really need all the complexity any add-on brings.

This also leafs me to favour more stay-out-of-my-way add one like django-silk over django-debug-toolbar
"Preferably, to a swing state."

Yep, move people who voted for the local governemnt that left them unprepared for a disaster like this and make them vote for the same government in a swing state.

Even if I don't agree with it (or with its opposite) I think it is a legitimate opinion expressed in a respectful manner.
That just seems like a narrow net problem than an issue with the approach. Assuming I have some distance function that tells me who's "similar" to me and it's malleable, I should be able to reach those outliers.

Can you trust that your phone won't be unlocked by court order? Apple does accede to lawful court requests.
He's both right and wrong.

Right, in that there are no good examples of a holistic "just works" stack of hardware and software + user modalities that Apple could release and have people just pick it up and go.

Wrong, in that Apple could make all of that work if they really wanted to because the fundamental underlying physics is there for everything except rendering black.

I'll probably get shit on for admitting it, but I generally keep rm aliased to `rm -rf`. Recursive, force.

It forces me to be careful and deliberate. There's never a safe option or a backstop. I treat rm like a gun - always assume it's loaded and going to murder whatever I point it at without hesitation. If I'm not 100% sure about what I'm about to delete or how a wildcard will expand, then I echo it first.

I messed up once, about 15 years ago now. Lost a few personal files. Haven't screwed up since.

Regarding assumptions of fixing people's computers - I worked in IT many lifetimes ago - I found if I asked people who wanted me to fix their computer to come sit with me for the entire time I would be fixing it to hang out, 95% of the requests disappeared.

My standard advice now is I only support hardware I recommend, and generally, for newbies, the only thing I'll recommend is a Macbook or an iPad which eliminate any and all calls. You can return to being friends and sharing tips about apps and leaving the rest be.
Some context.

The UK House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence was appointed to consider the economic, ethical and social implications of advances in artificial intelligence, and to make recommendations.

A call for evidence was published on 19 July 2017 and the closing date for submissions was 6 September 2017. 200 Submissions have now been published.

My submission, in my capacity as the Secretary of the AISB, is number AIC0086.
Puerto Rico has already received more than $4.0B in federal aid and additional money in civilian aid. PR has an incredibly corrupt government to blame for the gross mishandling of supplies.

Agreed. I had run a small BTC arb program for a bit a number of years back. The exchanges were shoddy, there was a persistent bias in the arbitrage such that you ended up accumulating huge positions of BTC on one side, and lots of short cash on the other. Couple that with the difficulties of withdrawing cash from the system, fees, etc., it was not worth the risk. But this is not new.

What's pretty cool about this -- though it appears this site is not focused on it -- is the opportunity for full triangle arbitrages among the various crypto's, such that you may do, e.g., a BTC->ETH->LTC->BTC trade and wind up with more BTC than you started with.

Another point to consider; the big players have moved into this space, if you want to get into it you will need to be sure you're not at an informational disadvantage.

That's funny -- I am a web developer, and when people ask what I do I say "I build websites"... which is invariably followed up with "oh so you're a designer".

(Then I follow up with "no, I'm more involved in the plumbing and wiring", and by then they are usually bored).

Years ago I wrote a perfectly reasonable comment like /* WTF??!?!!?!???? */ and the old C compiler complained about "invalid trigraph". A syntax error in the middle of a comment!

Took me a while to figure out that "trigraph" was referring to some part of "??!?!!?!????" and not "WTF".
"To be clear though, Ansible Tower itself will still be a licensed product offering from Red Hat, but the code that builds Ansible Tower releases is open sourced, and is available in the AWX Project."

This is strictly speaking correct but I think the author is implying that AWX code will get proprietized in Ansible Tower, which is not correct. Normally, Red Hat does not alter upstream open source licenses in its product offerings.

Look, I agree with you to some degree, and I'm sorry that you got downvoted for simply calling for being nicer.

But if my comment was simply "here's why you're technically not correct, easy mistake to make", it wouldn't quite be communicating the same thing. Namely, what a low opinion I have of turning every discussion into a fight, and how damaging I think it is to discourse of any kind (and without even including the actual rebuttal! The comment was 100% insults). I appreciate the feedback, but I'm not sure I agree that my comment would be stronger. If anything, it would be legitimizing ss part of the conversation a comment with no substance except broad, irrelevant insults.

For django-extensions are you sure about ipython? I install it with pip install django-extensions and nothing else is installed.

This makes a ton of sense. Do you have any examples / explanations / tutorials you could point to that demonstrate how this is achieved in code?
"Futurism is the American dream on overdrive: a disdain for the status quo and a belief that we can solve it all without unions, public education, and social safety nets."

So scratch futurism off the list of usable political terms. It goes to the same dust bin as libertarian, socialist, communitarian, etc.

Seems to me that any term that actually means something and that gains any use in politics will quickly get co-opted and turned into a dog whistle by some political tribe, rendering it useless for the purpose of actual meaningful communication. Futurism seems to have become a dog whistle for a wing of the alt-right or something like that.

Maybe we need some kind of annotation scheme, like libertarian[1.14] where 1.14 refers to some kind of shared objectively published dictionary that defines terms precisely. That might make actual communication about political ideas possible.
> But it is still a considerable improvement.

When it's secure, it's an improvement; if Mozilla, a Mozilla employee or a government which can compel Mozilla employees chooses to make it insecure, then it's worse than insecure. At least with something like Dropbox users (should) know that they are insecure and should not transmit sensitive files.

I don't understand your point about women in Japan. Regardless, the issues you point out are essentially irrelevant when compared to the massive issues the US has seen because of multiculturalism. Do you hate Trump? Well, the only reason he's in power is because someone from a different culture than yours voted him in.

To me the issue isn't how we should read in CSV (as you stated, we should use a different format that is less ambiguous) but rather getting vendors to provide the data in that new format. I've found that most vendors I work with are using a cobbled together solution built on top of a mainframe and getting them to add/remove a field from CSV is a monumental task, there is no way they will move to a different format like XLSX or JSON or XML. Until there is an open, industry-wide standard, I just don't see CSV going away

> The fact that pointers automatically coerce into bools makes some sense in C but is an aberration for modern C++. It's just an example of a legacy "feature" pointing its ugly head to sabotage a modern C++ construct.

This is a rather odd complaint; I can't think of any programming language which has first-class support for nullable types, and where they aren't truthy/falsy, at least in conditional contexts. It's a pretty straightforward boilerplate-reducing idiom.

Did you mean to say builtin arrays coercing to pointers? (I'd agree that's probably the biggest problem with C and, by extension, C++).

Or did you mean `NULL` being an `intptr_t` in C++? That's the very rare C++ misfeature that doesn't come from C (where it's a `void*`), but at least C++11 `nullptr` fixes that.

Yes, I remember thesixtyone. You're right it was a great discovery tool for indie music. I just browse reddit.com/r/listentothis mostly on the comments to find something unique and interesting music.
No, it's not. The comment is stating that I, along with all the other Irish-Americans, should not be in the United States. That's prima facie disrespectful. It's even more disrespectful to African-Americans, of course. The fact that the comment only logically implies that instead of stating it explicitly doesn't make it any better, it just makes it obscurantist.
I used to drink, a lot. My then wife would take me to fancy parties where we ate things I can't pronounce and I pretended to care about the appropriate cutlery. She'd introduce me as Dr. KGIII and, sure enough, I was asked medical questions.

Eval here is important because of Haxe's incredible macro system. The "eval" target is the engine for macro AST transformations. While vanilla haxe was extremely fast to compile, including macros in a project would often make haxe development feel sluggish. There were various workarounds for these situations, but those added to the mental overhead of managing the project. The eval target improvement streamlines this part of the compiler, bringing it in line with the rest of the compiler performance characteristics.

The overview for macros is here : https://haxe.org/manual/macro.html

Some examples of macro usage are here : http://code.haxe.org/category/macros/
Objectively?
I had an eye exam where the receptionist / salesperson read that I worked at Company X on my insurance. As we made polite conversation, I relayed that I worked on Project Y (a popular consumer product). A couple of weeks later, she used my patient info to call my private phone at 6:30am to ask for tech support. I was appalled, but politely informed her that this was inappropriate and how to seek support through the designated channels.

I thought about contacting the office to inform her superiors about the privacy violation, but didn’t. I sometimes wish I had. I always wonder if I dropped an opportunity to protect others from similar abuse of patient records.
I think this is the intended effect. They operate in a special grey area created by generations past to great advantage. Then they have corruption and mismanagement in their politics until their economic wellness is a dumpster fire. They literally did this to themselves by selling bonds that they can't pay back that they are obligated "before even necessary services are provided for the citizens".

It's sad that they abuse their tax free status and made themselves into a tax haven that is abused without actually bringing much income into the country, then changed tax regulations and increased deficit spending before being forced into austerity.

Why would you post this nonsensical, racist garbage? What is wrong with you?
"Instead I'd produce a restricted C compiler that only accepted constant time programs, and mapped directly to a limited set of machine instructions."

This has more potential just because it could be licensed in embedded sector to reduce work on things such as WCET analysis for hard-real-time. That money and uptake can feed back into the compiler's development for things such as constant-time-preserving optimizations. I haven't seen one of these, though. They typically do timing analysis manually (i.e. specific tool) since they have to assess the algorithms themselves, interactions with other components, and so on. Neatest thing I found looking into that was a formally-verified WCET analyses that was built on top of CompCert compiler.

Oh wait, just found something:

That's true, but I wonder if that's not a result of having too few of them, which makes it harder to abstract basic components that can work for many languages, like letters and lines in text.

Imagine saving the visual programs as SVG images of boxes and lines, with properties attached. Then you could easily make a generic merging tool that worked on those objects. It would sometimes make senseless combinations, but so do text version control utilities.

Likewise, merging a move would be implementable, even if the result might have to be tweaked manually. But then again, git and hg have merge conflicts too.

Yes, but to get a reasonable string implementation you need

The PR government may indeed deserve some blame (maybe even a lot!), but IMO it's absurd to think that their disenfranchised status on a national level doesn't play a role.

Their debt is $72 billion. We authorized $700 billion for TARP to bail out failing banks, and $17.4 billion to bail out the Big Three automakers.
Are your drawings precise enough that someone else could keep working on them without ever talking to you?
The rules of US elections are fairly well spelled-out, so low turn-out results are not contested.

In this case, Congress would need to make the decision that is in keeping with the "people of Puerto Rico". If you read further in the referendum link you posted, there are a number of reasons why the referendum was boycotted.

I doubt that Congress would want to jump into the middle of such an ambiguous situation and declare Puerto Rico a state by fiat.

Years ago I was able to get a 85/15/5. 85% first mortgage, 15% second mortgage and 5% down. The 2nd mortgage worked out to about the same as the cost of PMI but with the advantage I could deduct the interest on my taxes so overall it ended up cheaper. Not sure if that's an option now.

It is unfair for them to not allow you to bill for the 3+ hour ramp up time. A couple possible ways I could think to resolve this:
1) You could start pushing back immediately on the issues that you know are unrealistically allocated. Point out that the change is across different systems, or any other amount of complexity.
2) You could start tracking your time on each individual issue. This includes ramp up time, tracking your time for the project, emailing back and forth, or any other overhead that goes into the ticket. At the end of the sprint you could go to the manager with it and say here is how the actual time spent differs from what you told me it would be.
3)Start looking for a client that has a more sane workflow.
