Off the cuff opinion:

Sex has a strong emotional component. People who are "sexually needy" are often really emotionally needy and emotionally unhealthy. They are attracted to things with a strong emotional component, but low commitment. Liking pics of people who have cancer or whatever fits those criteria. The people gushing at pathetic photos of that sort are (probably) more likely than others to also be vulnerable to sextortion.

I am handicapped and had a lengthy medical crisis. Lots of people wanted me to be their big feels hit for the day while not actually giving a flying fuck about my welfare. Trying to get people to invest two nanoseconds in actually being helpful instead of merely using me as some emotional drug was a huge uphill battle.

A good filter for who to not waste my time on is folks who seek me out because I have a disability (or other sob story) and they have such big feels about it. These are always leeches who cannot respect me as a person and will only ever talk to me to meet their emotional needs. It's really sick stuff.
All the people I know called it what it actually is, projection by angry liberals who cannot fathom somebody winning the presidency with thoughts different than their own, so they need to fabricate outlandish claims.
I’m sure it’s nowhere near as simple/reproducible as you’re making it out to be. At any rate, I couldn’t reproduce it on my clean installation of Firefox 57, so there is that at the very least.

(Hint: if your post said “every time I try” instead of “every time you try,” I’m sure it would have been better received.)
If you are planning to try Fedora, here is my recommendation to get an astonishingly great set up in no time:

- Do a fresh install

- Use Fedy [0] install with a single click pretty much any development IDE you may need plus other must-have tools (Skype, Dropbox, VirtualBox, TeamViewer, etc...)

- Install the "dash to panel" Gnome extension [1]

- Use Fedy to install Numix or Arch as themes and "pimp" your GUI ;)

- Enjoy!!

Let me guess. Salesforce will blame the guards. Because the workers with the least amount of influence share an inordinate amount of blame. Some platitudes about being a welcoming company when clearly they weren't. Finally, a small donation to appears the media. And things will continue on as usual.
I agree with GP. Personally, I hate websites that show a blurry version of an image before the final one loads. It plays with my eyes. I have to look away and peek to see if it's done before I can read on.

Things like stuttering or other disabilities (whatever you want to call it) should definitely be included in the diversity and acceptance efforts.
Yahoo signed a risky contract, and not because they were tricked. They were trying to improve their odds of a good outcome, and hedged for that by offering a payout in the event of a bad outcome. Mozilla has every reason to exercise what was basically a clause designed to protect them in this exact situation.

(And admittedly, I'm pleased to see Mozilla get a payday that'll help them keep the browser market competitive.)
I had a very customized UI for Firefox, and was pretty upset by that going away. But after an afternoon with the dark theme I forgot all about it, and am now vastly happier. Give it a good go! :)

No, it will not make much difference. You rarely need lossless for anything but stuff like UI elements, which to begin with should not be drawn as PNGs if they are simple graphics that can be drawn as SVG
Correct. (and good point about spoilers) :) I just had high hopes for a story of scientific inquiry into magic. (Still do) Switched from source to review after it became clear that the story was more of a power fantasy/soapbox for the author.
We've also seen the only arguments against nuclear power be based on old reactor designs and NIMBY handwaving.
The guards were the ones who told the students they didn't belong there and the ones who made the determination to eject the students.

Unless Salesforce commanded the guards to eject the students, the guards failed to use their judgement properly and they failed to handle the situation gracefully.
>Someone will sue Mark Karpelès until he doesn't have a billion dollars' worth of bitcoins any more. The bankruptcy estate might only owe the customers $500 per bitcoin, but they -- and regulators, etc. -- might have a case that Karpelèsowes them the remainder, due to negligence or unjust enrichment or general come-on-man

I...and perhaps I'm being to glib...find it highly amusing that the same people making the argument of rejecting states and fiat currency and regulation and structure are frustrated that their attempts to use those structures requires them to adopt all the parts of it, not just the parts they need to recoup their losses from a con man.
Nuclear power is kind of a research hobby of mine.

Did you know the lethal dose of absorbed ionising radiation is only about 10 joules per kilogram? It would be great if it wasn’t so low. We’d already have nuclear powered manned space flight for one thing.
I think Blink's LayoutNG project and Servo both show that you can rewrite your layout implementation (and Servo also having a new style implementation, now in Firefox as Stylo). I think both of those serve as an existence proof that it's doable.
This is for proxying images that users link in chat, not for when users upload images to the service. It doesn't make sense to talk about doing this resize on the client, as the client doesn't have the image.
> 3. A RDBMS, with databases for both the raw and normalized data

I've found the filesystem (local or network, depending on scale) works well for the raw data. A normalized file name with a timestamp and job identifier in a hashed directory structure of some sort (I generally use $jobtype/%Y-%m-%d/%H/ as a start) works well, and reading and writing gzip is trivial (and often you can just output the raw content of gzip encoded payloads). The filesystem is an often overlooked database. If you end up needing more transactional support, or to easily identify what's been processed or not, look at how Maildir works.

After normalization, the database is ideal though.

That said, I was doing a few gigabytes a day, not a dew terabytes, so you might have run into some scale issues I didn't. I was able to keep it to mostly one box for crawling and parsing, but crawlers ended up being complex and job-queue driven enough that expanding to multiple systems wouldn't have been all that much extra work (an assessment I feel confident in, having done similar things before).

It’s hard reading random papers like that without deeply understanding the problem they are trying to solve. Sometimes understanding the true problem is more difficult than the solution in the papers.

What I would suggest instead as a learning exercise is to pick a domain you want to tackle and reinvent the wheel by implementing it. while doing so you’ll naturally find yourself digging into research papers. The advantage here is that during implementation you’d have understood the problem and the context much better and can relate to what the authors are discussing and trying to solve. Instead of moving backwards from solution to problem.
Don't worry, the race of the conference attendees was also mentioned along with the race of the victims. It's to help progressives apportion blame.
Note that for some libraries, the agent is set to empty or whatever the default is for the tool (e.g. `curl/7.43.0` for curl). It's always worth setting it to something.

As a frequent scraper of government sites, and sometimes commercial sites for research purposes, I avoid as much as possible as faking a User Agent, i.e. copying the default strings for popular browsers:

`Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36`

Almost always, if a site rejects my scraper on the basis of agent, they're doing a regex for "curl", "wget" or for an empty string. Setting a user-agent to something unique and explicit, i.e. "Dan's program by danso@myemail.com" works fine without feeling shady.

Maybe for old government sites that break on anything but IE, you'll have to pretend to be IE, but that's very rare.
I presume parent's point is about how they then interact with other layout modes (what if you absolutely position a flex item, for example), along with the complexity of things that rely on fragmentation (like multicol).
> I'm presuming you don't see the need to start with multi-megapixel images.

Might be a fair presumption today, but might not be for the future with hiDPI screens, VR etc... for the relative storage costs, it'd be better to have the original, and then you can programmatically run from there.

Personally, I would like to thank Salesforce for a strong security presence at the event. There were bomb sniffing dogs, many security staff, and vehicle barriers with armed guards at street entrances.

Despite being a sponsor and speaker at the event, I was denied access (due to different badge type) to the expo hall to help the rest of our company setup our booth. It was frustrating, but at least the security was paying attention.

It is very unfortunate that this group had problems getting in. I would have enjoyed talking to their group, as I did with the Girl Scouts group and other non-profits that sent STEM students to the event.

Forgive me for commenting so much, this is a topic very near and dear to my heart. I encourage all of the engineers out there to look at a stuttering fluency device called the SpeechEasy. It's a very deceptive device that is ripe for innovation.

1) the device works on the chorus effect, echoing a person's voice to help smooth out fluency.

2) its not gurranteed to work, won't work for most people, and likely beneficial effects will wear off within 1-2 years.

3) Minimum price: $3,000

4) Not covered by most insurance companies.

SpeechEasy like devices and other fluency technology is ripe for disruption. I encourage all engineers and software developers to consider how low cost technology can be made to assist people with disabilities.

Yes. If your credit risk is so low that non-dischargeability is a bad deal, presumably you can just get a private, fully dischargeable loan.

The basic structure of this argument is really straightforward: if student loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy, it would be irrational for a lot of student borrowers not to go into chapter 7 after school, when their earnings are so low that they qualify and their time horizon for major financial decisions is so far into the future that their current credit rating doesn't matter.

If they made the end-game characters (Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, etc) 40+hours to get, and they DIDN'T have microtransactions to get them quickly, would gamers be complaining? Doubtful.

They made the game HARD. That's good, that's what people asked for. Then they made the game EASY if you want to pay extra to make it easy. I think that's a fair trade, but that's clearly a minority opinion.
So... my Firefox just auto-upgraded to 57

* No multi-row tab bar and no way to get it (from Tab Mix Plus)

* Tabs are ugly square and no way to get them rounded

* Tabs are too small and no way to set minimal tab size

* Tabs are all the same color and no way to get them colored again

* No tab groups, the replacement is containers, but there is no way to move an existing tab into a container and no way to only see tabs for a particular container.

* Tab Session Manager seems to provide named sessions, although I have not tested it properly yet

I wouldn't say that the new FF is completely useless, but it has affected my browsing experience in a strongly negative way. I will give it a few days, but at this point Chrome might provide more features I actually want (never thought I would say that).

Edit: Reading other comments in this thread, I found a link to a set of CSS files that bring rounded tabs back (https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis). Unfortunately it disables color coding container tabs which makes separating containers a pain. Well, guess you cannot have everything.
While I agree that security guards are most responsible here at the end of the day they are correct to blame Salesforce. If you hold an event you are ultimately responsible for what the staff does, even when they are just contractors. And that's both from a legal, and optics perspective. In this case, Salesforce did these kids a disservice by providing them substantially different badges from other attendants, and by not doing enough to keep them in once they confronted problems. The head of the outing mentions that their contact tried to keep the guards from kicking them out but I have to question how an actual employee vouching for them wasn't enough. Seems like the ball was dropped several times, by multiple different parties.

This is an old debate.

On the one hand with tail calls you can write recursive code and find that it runs fast without excessive memory.

On the other hand when things blow up, it is really nice to have a stack backtrace to help debug why it blew up. But a stack backtrace can't include stack frames that were optimized away. Which makes it far harder to figure out why this call on this object turned into that call on that object.
I think there is a good argument, though few people actually bring it, that nuclear reactors and radioactive material disposal can be safe and reliable, but no nuclear reactor or disposal site we are institutionally capable of building will be safe enough to trust. Ie. the problem is civilizational, not technological, inadequacy.

> I don't think judges should necessarily be punished for bad decisions.

There are poor subjective decisions and then there are bad decisions.

"The technicality of the law" is a core component of the job of a judge. _Wilfully disregarding_ that is incompetence.

Example: in my state I work as a paramedic or EMT. In many states, including mine, there are Good Samaritan laws that protect bystanders, should they do harm in attempting to do well. There's a standard of reasonability.

For me? Not so much/at all. If this is my job, I am held, by my employer, by the state, by the Medical Director (whose medical license I practise under), and my patients to a core competency that means I am expected to know, and act as a professional care provider, and that I can be sued, sanctioned, or otherwise for failure to meet those standards.

And it should be the case.
