Remember when Obama was one of the few "respectable" reps to vote against the Iraq War?

Maybe that is not the best criteria, but anyways a lot of respectable figures have spoken out against the Fed, from Nobel Prize winner Friedman, to Aaron Swarz, to Sanders, JFK, Ron Paul, Grieder, etc.

Let me ask you something. So we know the financial crisis cost between 6-30 trillion, or more, so up to $100,00+ per every citizen in the US. The Fed's balance sheet ballooned to over 4 trillion.

So when the Fed turns on its printing press and buys assets, where do you think that Store of Value they are exchanging comes from? Do you think Bernenke and Yellen have pixie dust that magically assembles into productive goods or services? No, the value comes from hard working Americans who actually create value. If no one produced anything of value and exchanged dollars for it, the currency would no longer fulfil the technical requirement that money be, in part, a Store of Value.

So since we dont believe Fed Chairman have magical powers, this value the Fed is capturing must come from somewhere. And it comes from devaluing our currency. They're very simply dilluting (stealing) value from everyone who has dollars.

It is very literally the greatest heist in the history of the world, and it is right there, out in the open. Just like tragedies in history were tolerated by people of their time to the bemusement of us today, so have we tolerated this for some unholy reason.
Why did you drop out of high school? Did you find the teaching system too slow? or did you just find other things that were more interesting?

Without specifics, the only practical suggestion is for you to identify what you would like to do and then pick employers who need that skill and offer to work as an unpaid intern for a month be considered for a paying job.

Or you could go an learn something that interests you and then pretty much do the same thing. Generally, jobs are only for those who can demonstrate some value to the potential employer.
I learned C because of classes in MPI and I tried to go back to it after years of Python and MATLAB but the amount of boilerplate code and the workflow slowed me down too much. C++ is definitely a fine choice if you are a great programmer but I don't find it easy at all to prototype or maintain codebases in languages like that. YMMV
They fired a scapegoat for poor management.
>"or unroll the (fixed iteration) shift-and-add loop"

Can you elaborate on this? I understand the shifting but didn't understand the "loop unrolling fixed iteration part"
Yep, this. See my reply to the poster for more info.
As much as we like to criticize millenials, luckily it's not something you see as often as you'd think these days, at least not on the first few dates. I think it's totally reasonable to agree as a couple to focus on present company first once you've been going out for a while and the texting during dates situation inevitably comes up.
It seems like most of his demands can be solved with Dropbox or a similar cloud sync software.

Git will likely never implement his ideas because git is designed for decentralized workflows where you can have hundreds of people working on different things in the same large repo. Why should Linus have on his disc a copy of every single WIP branch of the many people currently hacking on the Kernel? This will never happen. It's completely outside the scope of git.
I have an Asus C302CA chromebook and got a USB-A hub for it (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M59IOAW/ref=oh_aui_sear...). It only works for storage on one of the two USB-C ports. I was about to return it when I thought of trying the other port.

>You say "those people need jobs too"

No I didn't, the US taxpayer on aggregate saves more than enough to pay those people to live for the rest of their lives.

>I don't think it's "unfair" to care more about "us" than "them" as long as "they" don't have the same standards we do.

I don't. The US on aggregate gets as much, or more, benefits from off-shoring as the country who takes it on does.

>Improvements abroad and maybe someday improvements here

The sole reason there aren't an equal number of improvements here in the United States is due to regressive thinking that assumes that bringing the jobs back would be a net positive while simultaneously blaming anybody who's been left behind for not working hard enough. Like I said, this isn't zero sum.
My employer’s answers to these questions are why I am actively looking for work.

1. Do you use unit tests?

2. Do you use static analysis tools?

3. Do you use dependency injection?

4. Do you use parameterized SQL or an ORM?

5. What third party libraries are mandatory?

6. Rank these three goals in order of importance - time to market, quality, maintenance costs.
Nice notes man. You've inspired me to make my own on github.
>Making less than $100k is nearly not an issue at all for women's dating opportunities where it's a significant issue for men.

That might be a huge issue in a very few places. It's not a huge issue anywhere else. $100k is 3 times the median income for a 30 year old.
Is making less than $100k really an issue? The median household income from 2016 is just almost $60k. I mean, I guess it would depend on your area and "social class" or something?
Palo Alto has 67,000 people. Mountain View has 78,000. Sunnyvale has 150,000. San Francisco has 860,000 and San Jose is over a million.

These companies are barely big enough to nudge the median income at all. Housing prices are being bid up, but it's not by residents.
My eyes find 4k too small to read well even on a 15" display. So unless you have very good eyesight, you will probably run 1920 x 1080 or similar resolution. Personally, I prefer to use a pair of 23" screens to get enough screen-space.
Do you have LinkedIn?
>I mean, there can be a valid debate on the moral cost of torturing X people to to (potentially) save Y lives with the information extracted.

Germans tortured USSR guerillas (who Germans technically pretty rightfully - from their point of view - classified as terrorists) during WWII, and that saved some German lives. So are you saying there can be a valid debate about that torture? Or closer to home - say Taliban would torture a US soldier and get info which would save some Taliban lives - valid debate here? Or do you mean that the debate is valid only when "good" guys (USSR and US) would do the torture?

>But torturing someone ... doesn't work.

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. So people get tortured as it always can happen to be the case when it works. When politicians/society talk about torture efficiency or lack of it to me it sounds just like a shop talk of professional torturers, i.e. people lacking any empathy and morals.
You can pick a number that makes more sense to you and the same argument applies.

You can even choose different thresholds. A man who earns below the male median wage will have more difficulty dating than a woman who earns below the female median wage.
Are there any books or papers you could recommend which explore this view of the dark ages - say that compare/contrast the type of civilized society that emerges in the presence of a state with one that emerges in its absence?

This looks like the class I was hoping to get when I took algorithms and data structures, rather than a semester of CLRS being scrawled on the blackboard every lecture, mountains of proofs, and 0 lines of code.
And blocked by Google. Censorship for the win.

Given (Google translate from another site)

"The page "Williams and Calvin" at the time of writing the news was only about 260 subscribers, and video records on average, there are 5 to 140 views. The number of hits in most of last year's records, including those relating to Hillary Clinton, does not exceed 20."

and one assumes some of those would be spam.

The real value and the only interesting thing here is watching an attempt at propaganda by the Russians. Another learning opportunity lost.

[edit] "...both Williams and Kalvin claim their hometown is Owerri in Nigeria."

Are we sure they are just not part of the fake news, lets make money game? Their accent is so strong I find it unlikely the Russians would have tried this. Seems more like the US is trying a propaganda scam on a failed advertising revenue scam.

Infowars for black people, a brilliant money raising 'idea'.

The problem, being from Nigeria they fit the part, but without having ties to Russia they didn't have the skill set. No sense of culture in the US they didn't realise how much the accent and correct grammar would be an issue.

Or did they, and they gave it a good old go anyway using entrepreneurial spirit.

These days you could do it and sell it to the Russians as a marketing idea, but when they started in 2016 it wouldn't have occurred to them.
If you do decide to drive, there are many driving schools that will teach a variety of skills. They range in cost, location, and specialty.

You can take everything from defensive driving to rally driving. You can take track lessons and closed course lessons.

I find driving exhilarating, even when I'm obeying the law. Your mileage may vary, but options exist, if you wish to try.
The parent post was answering a difficult question with nothing other than their personal feeling about it. They have absolutely no evidence that it wouldn't have the same anti-depressant effects if someone was unconscious during their trip.
This is quite a feat of scientific depth meets subtle snark meets parody of British quirkiness. It perfectly captures how the story itself makes you think both "that's silly" and "of course they'd do that, they're scientists!"
> I just think they can love you in their own way.

Yes. In the same way your sociopath childhood friend might love you. They will prioritize you over others (probably because you're known and they can anticipate your behavior), and use you or allow you to use them when they think it is beneficial. Don't expect sacrifice or compassionate understanding though, and don't expect your feelings to have much weight beyond how they affect your attitude towards them (or how you can affect the attitudes of others).
This should be fun to play around with.
> Why did they start calling it a rock again?

They found 4 more Plutos.
I definitely agree...but also with material wear. One thing I've never quite understood is the connectors of USB aren't made of a softer material than the ports. Even cars got this right in places many years ago on metal parts that touch one another. As is, i've already noticed a 'loosening' on a phone only a few months old.
The buck stops with the manager. Every time. Only a poor carpenter blames his tools and people are a managers tools.

If a carpenter doesn't pay attention and a sharp saw cuts their hand off or ruins an expensive piece of wood maybe they need training in how to run saws. Or perhaps they just need less powerful saws until they get more experience.

Management is a lot more than going to meetings and ordering people around. The ability to successfully staff and orchestrate a project is no small skill and one can't just jump in and expect success. Lot of people think they can do it, but there are very few really good managers in my experience. Most are hacks who can't actually do the job and don't even understand what it entails. As evidenced by the article.
Not gp, but I used Twisted Matrix for a few years. It is usually implemented with a boolean flag and a list of client waiting to be called back when the lock is released.

So users of the lock would call acquire and get back a deferred (a promise in other language), but say in the most basic way, a callback is passed to it. When lock can be acquired, that callback is called (or deferred is fired).

When done with the resource, must call the release. Release then will trigger the lock to inspect the list of available waiting clients, pick one and fire their callback letting them know they can access the resource, and so on.

Dongle life. I hate to think that USB-C will become obsolete so quickly, but hate it even more that I'm required to use it right now...
This is not much harder the the issue of 8P8C connectors.

Depending on cable configuration, pinout, wall plate and structured wiring system, that 8P8C might be usable (or not) for multiple different types of data networking, from the assorted ethernet speeds to E1 to token ring, or for a serial console, or delivering power and audio to a remote speaker, or hdmi-over-utp, or even -48V telephony, and let's not even get started on the only-subtly-different but actually incompatible RJ45S connector, or people sticking RJ11 plugs in 8P8C ports.

And yet the world has coped with this proliferation.
On another forum, someone was mentioning how they were chatting on their phone during sex.

Equifax’s Latest Security Foil: A Defunct Web Service
This comment reminded me of a perfect quote from the 'documentary'/video essay about Los Angeles -- Los Angeles Plays Itself (an analysis of LA composed of analyses of movies shot in LA):

"
...The loss of a car is a form of symbolic castration, in the movies and in life.
The best films about Los Angeles are, at least partly, about modes of transportation. Getting from place to place isn’t a given. Cars break down, they get flat tires, they get towed.
[Midnight Madness: as a tow truck dirver is hoisting a compact sedan onto the rear of his tow truck, four young women in identical red sweaters run up. One of them asks, „Hey, what’s going on here?“]
Or you don’t have a car. You have to catch a bus or you have to walk..."

The oxygen is there for hydrogen/oxygen engines (and that's most of the weight.) However, Elon's decision to go with methane undercuts this a lot since the ratios you need carbon (a relatively heavy molecule that's scarce on the moon) as well.
Things I Love About GraphQL
hell, I'm a programmer (currently writing low-level i/o access to a linux block device) and I shudder when thinking of having to learn sklearn and pandas.
I don't think julia is going after R's niche. They're going after matlab and sklearn/pandas/numpy.

so my 02 on julia's value prop: free. performant. scalable. capable. easy to use is there, but the others matter a bit more.
Carbon is just one one-thousand of the weight of that regolith, not something you'd want to try anytime soon; certainly switching to hydrogen as the fuel (with oxygen) would be easier.

That assumes everybody wants to and does live in a highly compact urbanized environment. It is not the case, especially in the US. Outside of this environment, covering it with a transit system that allows freedom of movement and convenience comparable to having a personal car does not seem feasible. You need to cover pretty big distances, you need frequent stops to make it accessible and you also need it to move with reasonable speeds so you don't take whole day to go to a mall and back. I don't see how this can work with current model of mass transit. Maybe if we could magically build a subterranean tunnels everywhere and put fast trains there... But this seems to be super-costly. Taking one case - public transport in Silicon Valley, esp. southern parts, sucks. A lot. But I don't see how it can realistically be made better without super-massive investment of money which will never be recovered and will never be self-sustaining. And I don't see how it could have been "planned" upfront - should people have been banned from living in South SV with density they are? Should somebody somehow spent billions and billions of dollars, taken from who knows where, to somehow build magic transportation network that would have never paid for itself? I don't think there's a simple solution for this, or any solution beyond personal cars. Maybe automated on-demand taxis one day?
Then they get healthcare at no cost to them - like they already do.
I miss 17" laptops. I wish I'd had the cash to buy one of the 17" macbook pros before they stopped making them.
Yeah. I was able to call around and save some money, imagine if I could shop for it without having to call around.
This is exactly the sort of problem that tends to go away over time (often before it becomes an actual problem for very many people). The PCI-E and even RAM bandwidth of modern chipsets would have been absolutely astounding 10 years ago.
This might also unnerve smokers if dozens of crows start fighting each other (and the smoker) for their cigs once they become fairly short. (Which is fine by me.)
Are you basing any of this off of experience?

I had two indoor outdoor cats, neither of which were neutered. I couldn't bring myself to do that to them. To my surprise, I found that none of the stereotypes were true, at least with one of them. He was the sweetest, most caring thing. He didn't care to assert dominance, he didn't try to fight, he didn't spray. He didn't do any of the things that people said cats will do unless neutered.

After an experience like that, you start to think differently about the world, and about people's unqualified opinions.

The fact is, you can't know. You are (and feel free to correct me) speaking based on no experience. I think there's at least one wolf in the world that would surprise you and defy your stereotypes.

But yes, you're probably correct in the general case.
Developer Experience (DX) – Designing tools for devs
Nearly all of these features are appropriate to a cloud-based IDE with sync capabilities, not a distributed version control system. The author even acknowledges he's thinking of such an IDE by referencing Cider.

A DVCS does one thing and one thing well: it enables copying one history of a codebase to different clients. Broadcasting updates to a client's particular history to all other clients in real time is not its job - yet all the listed 'desirable' features (with the exception of those citing performance) seem to do just that.
julia code tends to be extremely terse. I had to listen to unix domain sockets and spit out an aggregated result to an upstream analytics engine and I accomplished the whole thing (including spawning worker threads to listen to potentially multiple clients posting to the domain sockets), in about 65 lines of code. It's also very readable. I don't have any uptime guarantees or anything (and it requires a fairly heavyweight julia container - or a julia runtime installation - atm), so I wouldn't say it's an optimal solution moving forward, but as a glue piece I was able to show a demo and get to the point where I was debugging upstream and downstream components.
here's the rub - people who don't wait for catastrophe will shop around on price and healthcare providers will have to publish competitive prices for that business.

You get to pay the advertised price which is going to be much lower than the myster price today.

Regarding gun shots - I think people with gang tattoos shouldn't get healthcare for bullet / stab wounds. Let gang bangers quash their own beefs.
I think jotting down very important points we realized while developing is worth noting down. May be in a gitbook. But having an actual paper or notepad journal and noting down everyday things is too much data and we rarely, and i mean like very rarely look at that a second time !
I'm sure that happens sometime somewhere, like most things, don't think it's quite an epidemic yet.
I 've seen a ton of healthcare regulations and apprently we're in agreement they leave a lot to be desired.

Journalism is hard.

They're not paid a lot, and they have to churn out stories.

They don't have the resources to hire PI's and do interviews, follow people around.

It's just a dude (or dudette) who might have time to ask a few questions, and then put out a story.

So that's it.

I wish it could be more, but what they've done is within reason, so long as it's valid and they're not making it up.
uh, there were different branching models then too... it was dumb to talk about them. not having a branching model is way worse than having an odd one.

That doesn't seem like a good idea...
Enumeration should generally begin at 1. In common language, you don't say "this person won the 0th place trophy", you say "this person won the 1st place trophy". It's address offsetting that should begin at 0.

C strongly encourages you to think of arrays as simply address+offset pointers, so it absolutely should start with 0.
> Can all developers access production?

I don't think that's necessarily a good idea, for various data disclosure, security, and safety reasons. In fact, I'd say that a better question would be if developers are able to diagnose and solve problems without having to access prod. For example, a company may have an anonymised copy or partial copy of prod for developers to work with.
It is absolutely shocking to me that research into psychedelics isn't swamped with funding. I'd imagine that some wealthy people must find this stuff extremely intriguing - Yuri Milner is spending $100 million on space exploration, and a psilocybin phase 3 research trial needs ~$10 million and finds it really hard to raise money?

Psychedelics have extremely high therapeutic potential, and are also just interesting in a similar same way as space exploration is interesting.
The A-plug never made sense to me since they introduced the USB-C-only MBP. Regulation-skirting was one aspect I haven't considered though.
