China has the advantage of cheap power, so where you pay $0.14kW/h they pay a fraction of that amount. You can mine crypto, but don't expect it to become profitable unless you have access to cheap power and are ready to break through some of the hardware costs......

Or if you have free student trials for things like AWS/AZURE and can just spin up an instance and run till the trail dies.

Or if you have nationalized power like Venezuela does.
Bitcoin seems to be following Metcalfe's law[1] down to a tee. So, based on that, it seems it's not too late.

Urgent Care facilities and walk-in clinics can fill the need for immediate, after-hours care at a far lower cost than the ER. Here's a screenshot from my health insurance provider, you can see it gives options along with a comparison of their cost: https://imgur.com/a/4Lqb7

I am admittedly more of a logical, back-end programmer. Any help, advice, or direction would be greatly appreciated.
> It will work for `foo = None`

Yes, but in that case the variable is irrelevant:

foo = None
foo or "default"

Here the variable `foo` is 'just doing its job' and can be simplified away to get:

None or "default"

This shows that variables aren't involved here: `or` is just an operation on data (in this case `None` and `"default"`), just like `+` or ``.

> It is just that undefined vars in Python are an error in a different class from a missing value.

Exactly, and I think that's a perfectly reasonable justifaction for disparaging Javascript (along with bash, PHP and anything else which has this similar behaviour).

In fact, as I said above, Javascript doesn't even have a notion of "undefined variable", since variables will be looked up in the `window` object if they're not locally bound, and hence what looks* like an undefined variable is actually (according to Javascript's semantics) a missing value (a missing property of the `window` object).

> Python in particular has an odd mixing of quasi-static and dynamic errors that works unreasonably well but does not accept this construction.

I'm not sure what you mean here. As far as I can tell, there are two ways to think about errors in Python:

- From one perspective, all Python errors are dynamic, since they happen at run time when we attempt to interpret the offending code. Some of these errors happen when/if we interpret an `import` statement, some happen when a more localised expression/statement is encountered.

- A different perspective is that Python doesn't actually have a concept of errors at all. There are values available in the language which are called "errors", but they're not really errors, in the same way that `myError = "hello"` isn't actually an error (it's a string, which might represent an error but it isn't a distinguished category of things; it's just a value). Since it's semantically meaningful to perform calculations involving these values (often, but not necessarily, with the control-flow statements `try`, `except` and `raise` (which is just another form of `yield`)) they're not "errors" in the same way that, say, a segfault or a compiler error is (which Python doesn't, or shouldn't, have).

For example, here's a perfectly valid (although inadvisable) way of defining `hello world` in Python:

$ cat x.py
def say_hello():
try:
foo()
print "goodbye"
except:
print "hello"

def foo():
i_am_undefined

$ python

Agree. I work in IT on the LV strip and intracompany politics are everything.
Cheap electricity + ASIC Miners means chinese companies outcompete just about everyone else. Mining becomes unprofitable. Some alt coins manage to sidestep this by ensuring an ASIC for them would be an ASIC for general computing, therefore a CPU.

My first job out of university was at IBM. I distinctly remember thinking "this is just like being a part of the Borg" about a month in. You're connected to the hive mind through Sametime (internal IM client). Anything you need is available in w3 (intranet). External ideas or processes are assimilated (rebrand, and usually made worst through IBM-ification). Drones are constantly indoctrinated in how good IBM is and the proud history of the company.
Dropbox has been dropping out of favor for me. Their app now has non-notifications on my system menu (Check out this new feature!), and it drains my laptop's battery when there's lots of syncing going on. I also I didn't like how they handled the Accessibility controls fiasco.

I bought my parents a subscription to iCloud and whats really great about the product is that they don't even know they have it, they just know their iPhones and Macbook aren't nagging them about space anymore (They're not techies).

So far iCloud has been working really smoothly for them and I'm considering the switch.

Yes. Remember when he was saying he was going to ban all Muslims? And remember the Muslim ban that prevented lawful residents from coming back into the country?

You may not want to believe it, but it is true. Lots of groups of marginalized people felt targeted by Trump and his supporters. And Trump has not done a thing to assuage those fears.
Launcher is sending you irrelevant notifications about what? Launcher isn't sending you anything it's something else(so turn that off) and you dont need Google's launcher to get calendar notifications and the mere fact that you are asking this says you are confused.

Um, many employers care very much. This pattern of job hopping is a red flag at many firms.
Am I just missing it, or did they get rid of the 'Quick Add' natural language parsing option (e.g. "Meeting with Fred tomorrow at 5p")? That has easily been the most valuable feature of Google Calendar since day one.

Introducing our new WordPress platform
You are off by about a decade. FreeBSD 2.0 was released in the mid 90s.

I still skim Slashdot too.

Most of the time I'm working on ancient versions of RHEL that are never connected to the internet so I don't exactly get to use "stacks" or anything that wants to pull code from Github. If it doesn't come on the RHEL 5.5 disk it's not available. You might be surprised how much you can do with a modest CGI script, a touch of JS, and some basic styling CSS.
I can't even count the times they say Macbook Pro... Can't they just let the product shine by itself instead of trying to make the competition look bad? Do they really need to get that low? Don't get me wrong, I dislike 99% of apple products, but it makes the entire ad just awful...
Oh man make a decent *BSD installer/configuration manager. I know there are current attempts at this but they all need help. I think FreeBSD would especially benefit from some direct improvement.
Great comment. I guess I should have clarified my statement since I meant redistribution, when talking about taxing and spending on healthcare/education.

I guess the argument on the merits of redistribution is the fundamental difference b/w democrats and republicans.

This.

I like that the Mac uses the Super key for common shortcuts, which frees the control key for Emacs-style keybindings. It seems that besides i3, no other popular desktop environments allows a similar setup. I am a Mac convert after I start writing code seriously and as much as I still like Windows, I can't go back because of this.

As much as I also love Linux (I know, I love all 3 major OS for different reasons), I cannot use it as my full time desktop OS for obvious reasons. MacOS currently represents a perfect trade-off for me.
I originally thought this was the purpose of the game, and asked the person who linked it to me if I was supposed to write code for it.
The real punchline to this article occurs near the end:

"But maybe this allergy to statistical evidence is really a smoke screen — a convenient way to make a decision based on ideology while couching it in terms of practicality."

As a data scientist and former attorney, I can tell you that these people understand the math. This isn't about understanding, it's about giving up power. Judges do not want the law to act mechanically on important issues---if it did, who would need them? They want subjective terms in the law, subject to interpretation, so that they have some freedom to change outcomes that seem unjust to them. They want that power. And if they start ceding it to algorithms, their role will be diminished.
With the possible exception of the case of an election of someone who may do direct harm to your business, it's way better to leave politics at the polls.
What kind of regulation do you think would come? ICOs are already restricted in the us to accredited investors (if i understand correctly). Do you see something beyond this?

just a personal anecdote (i don't think that such situation affects any significant percentage of people though) - English words "urgent" and "emergency" translates to basically the same Russian word which means "emergency". Given that "urgent care" is missing in Russian medical system (at least 20 years back it was), we, being recent arrivals and thus not very skilled in both, English language and the details of US medical system, were going to "emergency" whenever told to go to "urgent care", and we were so disappointed that regular US doctors would refuse to see us except by appointment of some weeks/month in the future when an issue would require prompt attention, and they would be sending us to "emergency" instead (as it sounded to us when in reality it was urgent care). We thought that it is such an inefficient system - either appointment in 2 months or emergency room (where we'd wait 3-4 hours - obviously our issues weren't any close to priority there, and where we obviously wouldn't get a specialist attention which would better suit the issue we came with). Sometime later (after 6 years in US :) we did accidentally learn about urgent care.
Sorry about that. We didn't mean to show it to visitors and a bug prevented us from quickly disabling it. We've now removed it completely.
I was an early del.icio.us user and initially thought it was pretty cool but after a while stopped using it. Google has made most hand indexing of web content irrelevant because you can generally find things again if you vaguely remember where you saw them the first time.

In a way it's analogous to the schema on write vs. schema on read approaches to data analysis. If you don't know the end use of data, schema on read is usually a lot more efficient.

Just yesterday I had an interview with a Facebook recruiter and afterwards all I could think about was that the recruiter's entire job could have been replaced by an AI. And not one of the smart, modern, cutting edge Siri types of AIs, either. The entire process could have been just as easily accomplished by a robocaller bot that's been around for decades.

The interview process was a few generic, form-filled emails to schedule the interview time. Then during the interview call the interviewer read off a few pre-determined questions that were read directly from a questionnaire, and the interviewer recorded my answers. They didn't ask any follow-ups, only asked what was on the questionnaire. When we were done, I tried to ask them questions about the position and they told me "I can't answer those questions for you because I'm just a recruiter and I don't know details about the specific position. Hold onto those until you talk to the next person."

He might as well have just put on a robotic tone and said "My responses are limited. Please wait to talk to a real person if you have other questions."

Can you elaborate on what you mean by shutting down? AFAIK, most ICOs are closed off to us citizens already (and for those that are available to us citizens, it requires the investors to be accredited).
I went into a Microsoft store, sort of for a laugh, mostly to see if they did a good job with the surface book. My main takeaways were:
1) There is no bevel on the base which makes it hard to pick up unless you grab it my the screen. You can't get your fingers under it. I lost my grip and dropped it from about 1cm off the table.
2) The screen is awkward to use on it's own. It's huge.
3) It wasn't obvious to me how to take the screen off. When I did figure it out, if memory serves, I had to yank it off in an unpleasant way.
Ok, a static site generator. Nothing against that one, I think every programmer will write its static site generator some day. I know I did myself.

Google has internal Republican and Libertarian newsgroups and has had them for years. Damore's central issues have been debated for a long time on those kinds of lists and never censored.

What I think you're finding is people used to majority privilege, suddenly finding their viewpoints in the minority, becoming obsessively sensitive and claiming victimhood for which there is paltry evidence.

Why is it that when a majority of people hold progressive views, it's an "echo chamber", but if you're a minority growing up in the Midwest, or a liberal in a Red State, it's not an 'echo chamber'? There's some kind of weird assumption going on that somehow, conservatives should be able to expouse views and not feel like they're an outlier minority opinion.
Nice to see an improved UI. But it feels almost identical to Outlook calendars in layout, something I have been using for years.
I think that could be a somewhat smaller task. Developers will have direct domain knowledge and the core features are fleshed out.
> It'd be so easy to spin ICOs as a matter of fraud that's taking advantage of uninformed investors, a Ponzi scheme, or any of the other buzzwords that historically work pretty well in convincing voters of criminal financial activity.

Indeed. The fact that ICO's have generally been fraudulent get rich schemes aids greatly in this "spin" of which you speak.
You’re objectively wrong, and likely have significantly outdated understanding of what is possible on a “terribly limited” “phone os”.

Make sure that it really is an Urgent Care - there are starting to pop-up businesses which are (or at least promote themselves as) Emergency Room alternatives. They charge like an ER too, so you could end up with a large bill.
Typeclasses also do virtual dispatch, though. That comparison isn't much closer.
Why no comments? Interesting.

There are plenty of non-glamorous jobs in even the most exciting companies. Sadly most people land in the non-exciting positions because every organization has plenty of dull and boring jobs...

That being said, I don't feel Google is an exciting company in any way. One famous person said several years ago "The biggest minds of our time think how to make people click on advertisements". Sorry, still not exciting, no matter how good the pay.

I am really glad this person came back to their senses. I am serious, man. I'd shake your hand and buy you a drink.
I'm amazed sometimes the things people say here. The idea of withholding medical care based on citizenship comes very close the criteria for evil, with the drawback that it's largely incorrect, too (non-citizen residents, legal and illegal pay taxes at many levels of government for far less in return comparably than citizens).
The older I get the less it is about money, because life is short, and money starts losing its power to buy happiness quickly once you pass a threshold which is very easy to reach as an experienced software developer. A job which pays a lot of money can also make you miserable, comprehensively so, to such a degree that there is nothing you can spend that extra money on which will make up for it. In my experience the jobs which have paid the most did so because they had to, because nobody would put up with them otherwise; so "best salary in the industry" has become a negative signal.
Yea. Use hyper.is if you want to use vim/emacs with bells and whistles. The powershell default shell just can't handle it and doesn't color some parts of the screen well. Also, use tmux, if you don't do that already, solves the problem of no terminal tabs in windows.
As opposed to now?
Incremental parsing is indeed amazing for IDE scenarios.
But you still have to parse the entire file at least once.

For example it takes 15 seconds to parse lodash.js
with Ohm (on my machine) using the sample EcmaScript grammar.
But what happens if my IDE has 200 files and 400KLOC of code?

From my personal experience, if you want high performance
you have to treat it as an ongoing feature, this could mean:

* Inspect each new version for performance regressions.

* Reinspect previous feature implementations for possible
performance optimizations.

* keep track of underlying performance characteristics of your
runtime, for example V8 hidden class changes and other
de-optimization causes. These characteristics may (and do!)
change over time with newer releases of V8...

It would be interesting to try and optimize Ohm.js
I even contributed some optimizations to Nearley.js in the past. But I'm afraid I just don't know when I will get around to trying this with too many projects and ideas competing for my time. :(
I'm sure Javascript's most of it, but styling's probably a (much smaller) factor too.

Besides, these changes to Calendar don't appear to involve only styles.

How did you provide payment information for iCloud for an account that wasn't your own? Or is your CC the one on file for your parents' account? I want to do the same thing for my own parents, but they have their own CC on file and AFAIK there's no way to supply a different one for a one-off purchase.
I use it for external GPU and an external TB2 SSD raid array. The thing is, these laptops are starting at $2500, ignoring the base model integrated GPU that is just there for making the starting price attractive (although that one could benefit the most from an eGPU...)

It sounds like a technical reason for it being excluded (lacking extra PCI-E lanes) but it is just disappointing on a laptop in the $2.5k-$3k range in late 2017.
That's always been the struggle Docker engine had though - people demand it to be "production ready" and stable but also criticize it for not "innovating" enough technically. Docker didn't always do the best job prioritizing stability over features to be sure, but they did do a good job pushing critical innovations like registry v2 forward.
Most urgent care facilities around me are only open till 8 or 9 - good enough for things that happened while you were at work but couldn't get to your GP for but the world doesn't stop after that. The few times I've been to urgent care they are so understaffed that if there are 3 people in line at 6:30 you'll be lucky to get seen by closing time.

It seems more like a structural flaw in how the law is written. Arguably if a case makes it to the SC then it means the law was ambiguous to start with.
