The author seems to think that React users choose Flow and Angular users choose TypeScript.

However, TypeScript works really well with React and has for a long time. I have an example[0] boilerplate for isomorphic web app with React server-side rendering in TypeScript.

The code should be pretty easy to follow if you have some React experience. I chose to use the bare Node.js APIs so there is no favoritism in express, koa, hapi, etc.

I suspect the only way for that to happen is for someone to come up with a way to mass-transfer game libraries from Steam to some other service.

In other words, Steam has the PC gaming world by the balls.
This reply doesn't address the principle that there must be issues which can be addressed using unit tests but not integration tests. Even if you take every example I give and claim "doesn't count, I'd test for that", you're just writing unit-tests-once-removed using an integration testing framework.
This is a great explanation for why theory is valuable.

> All math PhDs can become programmers.

First of all what does "can become" mean? If it means with sufficient training and supervision they can learn to be programmers, then that's also true for the inverse.

Furthermore, we need only one counterexample to make it false, and I happen to know a few math PhDs that are not that great at programming even though one of them actually works as a programmer.

Well Intel for one manufactures the insecure CPUs..

This will be merged for 4.16, when there is no 4.15 release yet. No idea what your cloud computing companies run but it's not 4.15-dirty, and backporting this monster is a great recipe for a nightly emergency when it goes OOPS.

edit: it isn't even merged yet.

I wonder of DNC will stick hard to this and nominate Clinton in next election as well.

Usually loosing political parties change their stance a wee bit to pander to wider demographics next time. Because politicians are, well, representatives. So far it looks like DNC thinks they're correct and people are wrong.

What I'd want for most cases is to "paste as printable ASCII." That covers a large number of use cases (the article's example is printable ASCII ostensibly to reach the largest audience).

I'm not sure what to do with more complicated language mixing, but I suppose a script to tell you what languages are being used and where there might be "out-of-place" character codes would help.

Instead of a nominal fee, there needs to be ad valorem taxation (at say a 1-2% rate per annum) on a declared value which also serves as a binding offer to sell the work into the public domain at the stated price. That way, anyone can keep their long copyright, but only as long as they are willing to pay a fair price for keeping the work out of the public domain.

There should be an initial period of several years (somewhere in the 7-13 range) where copyright remains free.

The religion is calling for nothing, it's the people who are dogmatic about the religion and take their interpretations to hateful extremes who are calling for something.

The harmonious western society, in the US in particular but not alone, is still pretty discordant for black people, poor people, and immigrants. It goes far beyond women and sexuality, and shifting blame onto other religions and immigrants who can check some anti-diversity boxes is a great way to avoid the essence of the problem that has existed at home for a really long time.
eBay | www.ebay.com | New York | NYC | Full Time | ONSITE | jobs@ebaynyc.com | VISA ok

We are hiring experienced data scientists to change the way eBay does advertising. eBay's old advertising strategy was 3rd party focused (Ads that sent people off eBay). Our CEO said that strategy has changed. We need ads that keep people on eBay and offer better choices for our buyers. We are the team blowing up the old strategy and doing something better. You can move the needle when it comes to eBay's profit. We are a small team in a growing remote office. This is a unique opportunity to learn search engine and recommendation technology which rank eBay's 1+ billion active items. We apply cutting edge machine learning techniques on petabytes of data and thousands of Spark/YARN nodes. This includes deep learning, XGBoost and online learning. Our interview consists of two phone screens. Then you come onsite to meet the team and do a code test. The role will be 50% production coding and 50% research.

One reading is that if a lot of key decisions are being made in meetings you're already in trouble, and rather than trying to improve the meetings you should cut them down and -- as far as possible -- let individuals make decisions.

Interesting story but not very related to what the parent was saying.

Examples of skinner boxes are everywhere in society today. They've been around longer than they were identified by Dr. Skinner. Anything that gives a variable reward for pressing the same button is participating in a sort of skinner box.

Mobile games use them, slot machines use them, and you can even think of facebook/instagram likes as such variable rewards you get for the same action over and over.

They are pervasive in society already.

IMO Google is unbeatable as long as nothing changes, if you really have to recreate Google as it is today, it will cost too much and you will never make it.

But if there are technological shifts that invalidate the investment Google has made, then there is a chance.

I think you're spot on about why Google is investing in the Assistant, but I think you underestimate the threat from Alexa. If Alexa gets a foot hold and manages to use the fact that you're having a dialog to deliver commercial queries better, Google is in a lot of trouble.

Vertical-specific commerce sites are also a threat, if you no longer search Google for insurance, but go directly to an insurance aggregator, Google's search tech is irrelevant to capturing that advertising revenue. I think Craigslist is undergoing this problem since they've basically refused to invest in better UX, vertical specific sites are eating their lunch.
These were both good options near me. To your point, I know that you cannot walk out of any of these boutiques for anything less than $150 a frame, but they also try to only sell the hand made german/japanese frames, which cost a lot everywhere, as you might imagine.

Lots of people have done and continue to do those and other activities at times and places where there's no SAR. And, especially if you are in a remote area or bad weather, there is no guarantee that SAR is going to find/help you.

Standalone installers are the only acceptable solution, any middleman, no matter how many promises they make, will eventually do something you don't like and break your games. Any game, any software, made exclusively for systems that require some sort of activation before allowing access to the software you want to run, even if the software itself is DRM-free, means that software has a gatekeeper you'll eventually have an issue with.
But no one is hiding the bug this "fixes". If this bug + something else can be a hypervisor escape, well that's too bad for the AWS of this world, but I don't see how this patchset would leak the "something else" we don't know about?

While hardcore members of the progressive faction (myself included) don't think it's as much as they should have, the DNC has made major moves to accommodate that faction, in the areas of policy stances, DNC personnel, and internal DNC administration and nomination process.

Oh! Happy to see Listen to the cloud posted here! It’s been a crazy ride since I built it last November. I went viral in Russia and Kazakhstan And were interviewed by a Spanish newspaper called El Mundo together with Eric (who made youarelisteningto). The best outcome of it was receiving an email from a developer who had a lot of problem with ADD and anxiety and he told me about how listentotheclouds helped him focus while at work and expressing the gratitude. It’s very humbling to hear that something you built just for fun actually helps others in ways you had no idea it would.

Blobs in Games: What I did in 2017
Hey nickelbox,

This is among the several problems that I'm trying to solve. As a developer, when you're calling an existing function -- you don't really have any data at your disposal WRT the quality of that function. Likewise for modifying individual lines. To me, it seems obvious to want this information.

But I'm trying to test that hypothesis and see if other developers feel the same way.

Thanks,
False bans is hard to prove - you always have people claiming it, especially the cheaters themselves - but IIRC they came out and said they were scanning user DNS cache entries and using them as a basis for VAC actions.

Gabe's response more or less boiled down to "cheating is a hard problem".

I hope I'm not misremembering or being uncharitable.

EDIT - I called it a false ban debacle because they was one half of the issue; the privacy implications were equally important.
