How do you choose a prog. language to learn or the right development stack?
I decided to ditch Java in favor of C# and just when I started learning it, I read up on a few rants how choosing the language will lock me into Microsoft products forever, how they are evil etc. it seems people here really hate the company, but I thought that .NET Core was a step in the right direction still it seems most here are skeptical and everyone keeps promoting the new languages like Go or Rust or Elixir. Thing is I tried Go and it just seemed "meh", Rust is awesome but there aren't enough resources the learn it well and I'd like to make a website, for which I don't have to have the best performance and Elixir seems nice, but there aren't enough resources yet and I am not a fan of dynamic languages, although FP is awesome, anyway all these rants have made it so that I can no longer decide which language/development stack to base my further studies upon.

And now I'm stuck at being unproductive.
I speculate that Google will sell TPUv2 for as less as 500 USD per PCIe card already in 2018. Nvidia's Volta TensorCores are essentially the same: 32-bit accumulators and 16-bit multipliers, but GPUs are more general-purpose which is not necessary for Deep Learning since most intensive operation is dot-product (y+=w*x).

Hi there,
i might be able to help. What APIs are you using to calculate the distance from the POI?
JJ here, that was a nice skirmish, well done on the stealth kills.
Yes, exactly!

The tool actually finds new hot products for you taking advantage of an algo that I wrote that recognize products that are going to be trendy in the near future. Each product is complete with links to source the product on Aliexpress, Alibaba, Amazon or Ebay. You can also see Fb posts for that product, as well as get an idea on how much it is selling for on other stores and what the average profit is on the item.

You can also search products by yourself: we already have 500k+ on the app and continuously add more. You can also search sales data for selected stores.

Hope it helps!

Thank you, just the push I've been needing. As of this moment, I'm off to ixquick/startpage, which for one thing doesn't require me to go all laid-back and inclusive on the JavaScript, and which for another has those nifty proxy-links.
Yes, it means exactly that - though soon you'll start hitting into issues with solar panel efficiency and thermal management. It's very hard to keep things cool in space.

The space electricity tanker idea is theoretically possible, but might not make any economical sense. For it to be worth it, it would have to store a lot of energy, so that it could ship back more than the cost of moving it around, while also being competitive with simply building more bigger collectors further away (and closer to the industry). But maybe a highly eccentric orbit, with a very low perihelion, would work.

Not totally sure if the math works out on this, but I could see moving the energy-intensive industry closer to the Sun, and having it use beamed energy to move resources and products to itself and back.

Good point. I'd rather have something explicit going on. In other places where we do use RabbitMQ (for short-lived, non-critical tasks), the listening processes log reconnects every once in a while, even with heartbeat.
You should really come up with something credible before accusing the New York Times of corruption.

In addition to the flaws pointed out in sibling comments, I'd add that there is a difference between a NYT staff journalist, and a free contributor writing something for the likes of Mashable.

And even if NYT coverage could be bought, I doubt that "Escape the Room" could afford it.
Corporations have always been trying to rule the world by selling hot air and "caveat emptor" has been a thing since markets exist. The Internet just gives you access to all the dumb people in the world at once. How will you control that from one country?

Social media and people on social media do not know us better than we know ourselves because all of us lie and try to look cool on social media. Like, can you think of the last time you saw someone clearly trying to act smart on a forum, maybe even... right here?

As far as I'm concerned, all social media knows is how to exploit us. It hones in on what gets us engaged. I think that is far worse than 'knowing us' - I'd actually find that comforting, in some ways.

As an example, I don't think social networks really want to work on ending abusive behavior or harassment because often those behaviors create engagement. People logging on to argue at random people about whether or not you should've voted for $CANDIDATE vehemently all day long are people using the platform and showing up in the numbers. It's good business. Verifying an actual nazi on Twitter? People may have been angry but they expressed it _by using the platform itself_. Whether Twitter was right to verify them is up to you, but the reaction is undeniable.

But honestly, we're all bullshit artists. I would never go liking all of the stuff I like in real life on a Facebook in my name. Do I want all of my friends and future employers to know how obsessed I am with some subculture? Not really. I'd rather like things that make me look normal and fit in.

I haven't been on Facebook in a long time, but the Internet as a whole has felt worse since engaging socially as my real life identity. I felt it was more fun and genuine when it wasn't real life identities, although that ship may have sailed thanks to bots and vandalism.

I stumbled upon Andreas Antonopoulos when we were both in London, circa 1997. I met him 2-3 times, we had some common friends trough UCL. He did not make a good impression on me. Arrogant, smart ass and somehow shady. My impression was that actually nobody liked him or had a good opinion on him, even his close friends.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
The invention of atomic weapons was physics, a precise description of the elementals of our universe. Results from Riemann geometry are not dangerous, but the statement "our universe's spacetime obeys Riemann geometry" is.

We are working on further fixing this issue. We require an open proxy in some form to protect our users' privacy, though it should be more locked down and more obvious it is a proxy.
Those words are very descriptive and I got the entire purpose from just the title. The only other detail was individual message acks.

What do you feel is missing or miscommunicated?
Depends on the implication. If you supplied the same water in the same way then allowed resale farmers would strictly be better off. (Ignoring graft.)

The water shortage will not take hundreds of millions of farmers to equalize. Price rises by 0.01 cents per gallon and many farmers will will become more water efficient while selling freed up water on the open market. This, assuming some water vs trade off, would also raise food prices giving more money to farmers who do nothing differently.

The poor and everyone else would get higher food prices, but access to more reliable sources of water.
Protip: you can call businesses but you don't have to answer any calls from numbers you don't know or approve. This is a nice balance that I maintain. I used to be phone-shy but at some point I just realised that it's usually the fastest way to get the answers or service I look for.

Messaging systems with individual message acknowledgements, redelivery, dead-letter features are common in many enterprise systems.

With the highest priced international sprint service i had terrible connection in Paris several months ago. I would go 30 mins to an hour with no connection frequently.

At home (Boston Ma) sprint is good enough to online game and stream at the same time. I lost my comcast connection for several hours recently, and tethering to my phone resulted in less latency...

Edit: This is on Sprint's unlimited plan (around $50 a month for 1 line, $25 per line for 4 lines)
I used to think so but my office party (100 employees) this year was really good and a great icebreaker. We're all friendlier at the office now.

I think it just brings your office culture to the forefront. If there's tension and negative vibes already present, your party will be unpleasant.

I can't imagine one party for a huge corporation (like 1000 people). That's just awkward. It should be broken down to divisions if so.
It’s so weird, people are treating it like a share instead of a currency
Service Workers (which are one of the core technologies behind the Progressive Web Apps label) go further than manifest files because they can deal with any kind of HTTP request (including e.g. calls to your REST API). Also, because they are code rather than static lists backed by hard-wired browser logic, you can implemnt any kind of caching strategy you want.

That being said, Progressive Web Apps is pretty much just an umbrella term useful for marketing several new and upcoming browser APIs (Service Workers being one of them) and not really a thing in itself.
What, not blazingly fast?
NATS is a purely pub/sub system. It has no persistence or messaging queuing semantics outside of a "queue group" which is a simple round robin delivery of messages sent to a topic.
I think the proper understanding of those principles is "when in doubt, choose this over that", and not "always choose this over that".

That said, the problem you described isn't really with the manifesto, but with people refusing to use common sense - or even more likely, with incentives within the organization being so aligned that decisionmakers benefit from making bad calls. It's something that happens surprisingly often.

Looks interesting, might be a good replacement for the more enterprise messages/queue systems that have all the typical ack/redelivery/scheduling features as seen here.

It's worth mentioning the new Apache Pulsar messaging system which can replace Kafka with pub/sub and queueing semantics while providing better scalability and per-message acks, probably better suited to those who want a combined system.

which means the faster you deliver your packages, the more you are technically getting paid per hour. In addition to this, you'd get a daily bonus for delivering the packages fast.

Only if you choose the default. Lasting, meaningful friendships can be made - the trick is to ignore the "broadcast" tooling that's heavily suggested to you by entities that can only exist so long as they have an ever-increasing income - the walls, the feeds, even to some degree the forums - and stay instead in the private messaging systems, the tiny chatrooms, etc.

I use IRC as my primary "social media" tool of choice, but some days, I barely look at the channels - my online life is spent in the PMs with the people I've known for years.
Learn to work for someone else. Seriously there is no way out of it. Even a CEO works for someone else (investors/customers/shareholders). The blog posts that tell you otherwise are trying to bullshit the naive. Everybody is working for someone. The king/dictator you heard about that lives such a good life without considering others? He certainly considers his generals, and he certainly considers whoever provides the money to pay for his generals.

You could basically decide if you want to decline ever taking responsibility for other people and work in such a job where someone else will organize your food and bed. But then again we can't really choose to have no responsibility to other people (parents, friends) either. So in that case quite a few important people in your life would consider you a dick for good reasons.

Therefore in the end, learn to accept it. This is part of life.
I've been using coinmate.io and at present the bid and offer are 14195 and 14221 euro or a spread of 0.18%. That's the cheapest I've found. They only do euro although they are London based.

Is it really that difficult and "costly" for the woman in this situation to get herself out of this like a grownup ? Just saying politely "hmm, I think there is a misunderstanding.." while she gets up and changes place herself ? A message like that is clear and polite and establishes clear boundaries. I think it's ridiculous and weird to ask all the males to be aware of the relationship dynamics of their female colleagues and anticipate at which point they feel harassed and intervene. Seriously.. and what's next ? Women intervening when other women flirt with a male colleague ?

But if a lot of traders think this way, they may have high execution cost when the contract expires and they try to sell the spot. Specifically, a lot of selling pressure by this kind of trade will push down the spot price and the traders may not be able to sell the spot at the price of the futures cash settlement. So, there is a connection but only up to a point.

Of course there a probably traders doing other kinds of trades that have a different effects on the prices, but it's quite tricky to analyze, compared to a physically-settled contract.

One of the primary uses are deep space probes. The stirling engine has exactly two moving parts and uses non contact seals. In theory the lifetime should be limited by the deformation of the piston at elevated temperatures. Still, you’re right. They certainly have to do a lot of reliability testing to be able to show that these stirling engines will last 10+ years before they use them in a mission. They have several stirling engines that have been running for multiple years in simulated conditions for just this purpose at NASA GRC.

Complete Guide: How to Hire a Web or App Development Company
I think that's being completely unfair. Outsourcability is purely about how easy it is to extend a supply chain to another continent without impacting quality control and lead time. Automation is purely about how easy it is to program a computer to do the work.

The two have very little to do with one another. In fact, the more automateable a job is, the less likely it will be pushed offshore because managing a highly automated process means that quality control becomes much more difficult (bugs, etc.).
you are talking about the current value as offered by the industry, but the actual value it will have down the line is not messured in monetary terms. Or at least, if you think money were happinies, you argue for inflation. Differential equations are often used to model dynamic systems. What you mention is only one first order solution to a partial deq only (ok, i'm pretending, sew me), implying a linear relation, but you omit the other dimension. Who is going to buy from the industry, in case the inflation rises to the point of starving most of the country? Point being, this is not as simple as you imply, by a long shot.
