DST is in EU law, so all member states should and do have it.

However this year there was a petition in Fineland to abolish DST, so Finnish Parliament asked European Parliament to drop it. European Parliament said sure and asked executive branch (Commission) to draft a law, since they can't do it themselves.

Commission would draft a law, Parliament would vote on it, then Council (representatives from executive branch of Member States) would vote on it and after that Member States could drop DST if they want by whatever process they have.
As an autistic person I don’t like bright lights, but the light is not the problem it’s the heat.
If the wood is load-bearing, once it has reached a sufficient degradation level, it'll collapse just as well as any steel beam. And since steel is usually embedded in concrete, it'll be protected for some time, increasing the time before it reaches a critical temperature and collapse. Still I thank you for your answer, it explained what I did not understand in your comment.
But both the Coast Guard and the Navy are, and either may have been the 'sponsor' of removing something, with the owner's permission, that was a hazard to navigation or sea operations.

And rather than SpaceX asking, I wonder if the conversation was more, "Are you going to go get that or not? Because if not we're going to sink it." And when the drone recovery vessel returned to port with engine troubles (cited in the article) SpaceX would have reported "Our equipment is down so we're not going to get it right away." And the decision may have been taken out of their hands.
Pretty cool... although it will be hard to tear me away from Panda.
Chelsea Market is an above-average property, though. It's in an excellent location, one block away from the A/C/E/L lines, two blocks away from the 1/2/3 lines, and three blocks away from the F/M lines. The market on the ground floor is an internationally known tourist destination, and the High Line, another huge internationally known tourist destination, actually goes through the building on the second floor by 10th Ave. And Chelsea/Meatpacking are desirable and pricey neighborhoods in general.
Thanks to the JVM, I stopped caring about POSIX.

Not everyone is found of it.

Same applies to any other language with rich libraries.
1. Btw, I'm counting on/hoping for other devs to review this part of the code and make it more trustworthy. I don't think I can do anything more to guarantee that's the actual shipped code?

2. Thanks a lot

3. Not yet. I'm planning on implementing that in an upcoming version

4. I'm going to look into that!

Thank you very much for your feedback!
all doctors should be able to hear large amounts of fluid in the lungs and, furthermore, should be on the lookout for pneumonia when someone had flu and then got worse. Your doctors, in this case, performed terribly.
Well, I did. It wouldn’t be that far-fetched - look at some of the work the Army Corps Of Engineers has done.
I think it would be so expensive to protect all the steel going into reinforced concrete that you could go directly with another material.
Good question. I'm going to say "demisemiennial" instead of "quarterly" from now on.
Without DST, the sun would rise at around 4:15am for a lot of North America. Do you want to get up that early?
The cat convinced me.
How do you know people upload pictures of themselves? What if this becomes a tool for bullies?
I would assume they have someone to contact because I think they are a vendor for the USAF for government contracts.

It would be interesting to be in that meeting though. Probably would be more boring than actually the fun that I am imagining .
What you are proposing is impossible unless we get every (very small) latitude delta across all Europe to have their own local time.

When the same timezone (GMT+1) extends from Spain to Germany what your are proposing can never happen.
Because it's scaled to maximize showing the jagginess of it. It's only 1 PPM of fluctuation at the small scale - this is basically noise.
I'm a Rails guy through and through, but I'll echo what many other commenters have said: stick with what you know. Trying out new frameworks, languagues, technology stacks, etc. is great for side projects. But if you're seriously trying to get a new startup product off the ground and to MVP status quickly, the last thing you need to worry about is the headache of dealing with all sorts of new technology puzzle pieces. At the end of the day, your users won't care if you coded the app in Ruby or Python or Javascript or Go. They'll care if the app is good and meets their needs.
Are we collectively forgetting Unity3D?

It might only be one engine but it’s a juggernaut in the industry
> When you're landing a rocket, you need to be able to throttle down quite low.

When R-7 was developed in 1950-s, as a weapon, one of requirements was the precision of attained speed at the moment of engine cut-off. It was solved by shutting down main chambers on the upper (second) stage, powered by RD-108 - 4 chambers about 20 tons of thrust each - and maintaining thrust from steering chamber, 4 of them, 3 tons of thrust each.

This is another example of deep throttling.
NYC Xoogler here.

Speaking from experience, the main office (111 8th/76 9th) is amazing. I think Google's decision to buy that years ago has totally been vindicated. I'm surprised more high cash surplus companies don't do this, just to control their destiny in a way you simply can't as a tenant (eg if you're a large tenant, each floor you rent in the same building is going to get more expensive, being a tenant limits what you can do).

Other posters have pointed out the Chelsea Market is a mishmash of other buildings (4 IIRC). All true. It's a super-annoying building to get around in though. To get from the 6th floor on one side to the 6th floor on the other side you might have to go to the ground floor and find the right elevator (out of like 20 in 12 different locations) that goes to that floor in that building. Some parts are only served by a single elevator. Others have a bank. Honestly I'd hate to work there, particularly if you had to go through the crowds to get to your one blessed elevator.

One outcome of this might be that Google may well fix this situation by combining floors and elevator banks.

I don't think anything will happen to the ground floor of Chelsea Market.
I really wish someone would make a normal-size keyboard with all those extra modifier keys.

Yes!

The closest I've been able to find is the Razer Anansi, though I'm still not completely satisfied with the layout and I don't like the way its keys feel (YMMV). There are some other gaming keyboards with thumb keys but the Anansi is the only one I remember having found with more than three.

It's so frustrating, they figured out that you get extra bandwidth by giving the thumbs more keys, but then they throw that extra bandwidth away by making the keyboard smaller.

Oh, right, there's also keyboardio. I've never tried it and it's expensive but it doesn't just have thumb keys, it also has palm keys. And there's ergodox though I didn't like it when I tried it. There are also some generic Japanese keyboards with a narrower space bar and extra bucky bits - I assume you'd have to fiddle with remapping keys for optimal use in English.
I would suggest seeing a Geologist perhaps. Get it? Boulder? Geologist?
Unpopular opinion, but Rails with server side rendered ERB templates are quite quick to get started with. The convention over configuration philosophy gives a lot of things out of the box.

To answer your NodeJS question, express is a popular framework for API development and many databases are supported, https://expressjs.com/en/guide/database-integration.html.

I use sailsJS in my day job which is built on top of expressJS, and it does everything you want out of the box for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE simply by adding a model file and configuring the MongoDB connection string. It also has standard functionality with it such as logging, session, authorization, BUT you have to spend time learning how it works with sailsJS. Therefore it is much easier to start at a lower level framework like express and add high quality functionality modules as you need it, such as expressJS and adding your favorite logging/apm module like New Relic.

I've done .NET, Python and now I'm doing Node at work. By far, Node is my favorite because it always just works. I develop on Windows 10 and deploy using Ubuntu 16 docker images. I use mssql node module and it has just worked in both OSs. The only cross platform issue, with Node, I've had was that file names are case sensitive in Linux but not Windows.

For UI development, that's another beast. I wrote an Angular 5 application recently but I don't like it. Vue and possibly React look simpler.
Have you considered making an iPad version?
Just tried it out on mine and it wasn’t pretty.
Nice to see someone mention this. Sometimes I think I am the only one. This sort of thing is what scares me away from GNU/Linux whenever I try it, having spent so many years with a BSD that does not enable anything by default. Nothing wrong with customization, except when it is someone other than the user who is fiddling with it.

I am used to a black background. Seems like the logical "default" starting point in VGA textmode. Even Linux kernel output when booting starts on a black blackground.
Yeah it's easy to worry about potential "left-pad" issues blocking deployments once every however-so-many-years but ignore how many government websites currently close for several hours each day as "maintenance".
I think the boost comes from ICO-related ads. Especially as Facebook just banned them.
A personal frustration that directly came across for me in two interview cycles a couple years back with Google was my questions about telecommuting were all met with consternation (I don't want to live/work in Mountain View), yet in two interview cycles with something around a dozen people involved, the majority of actual interviews involved no one actually physically in Mountain View and several that entirely telecommuted.

Some of that is just the roulette of the draw of the specific teams I interviewed with in those cycles, but it certainly seemed to send a couple of clear messages to me: 1) telecommuting is reserved for a specific class of seniority with seemingly a certain hard-headedness required, 2) Google recruiters were more than willing to waste my time by flying me all the way out to Mountain View for 100% virtual interviews, when I could have happily done all the Google Hangouts work from home. (Also, 3) Google doesn't value my technical skills, but that's another argument for a different day.)

Sure, it was good to see a bit more of Mountain View since that is where the Recruiters kept insisting I had to live/work at least for the first few years (despite the one team being primarily based in New York, and the other in SF), but it mostly just cemented my opinion that Mountain View is a suburban place like most other suburbs in America (car commute practically required; not very walkable/pedestrian friendly) and overall I'd prefer not to be there, because there are enough suburbs where I already live.

Sorry to rant a bit about it, but I do find some interesting hypocrisy in Google's views of remote work and work/life balance. Especially to be directly told that remote work was entirely not an option, but then proceed to be given so many remote interviews over Hangouts. Seemed a clear "you will do what I say, not what I do" message.
Is it for performance/architecture improvements that could provide Go over Python or just for the sake of having a high level scientific library available in Go ? or both ?
Yeah I tested a few images and it seems pretty accurate in detecting race/ethnicity. I wonder where they collected all of the insults from.
Sounds like humility is a common personal trait, from the article. And among the people I know, patience with others seems to be a common personal trait.

I feel like the cocky entrepreneur stereotype only has the slightest success because of their persistence.
The heatshields are necessary so that the payload is stable aerodynamically and so that it isn't burned to crisp.

But the atmosphere is very thin so that it is currently major challenge to use it to slow anything down before it slams the ground.

While the temperature is governed by the speed of reentry (large speed relative to atmosphere molecules == high temperature) the heat transfer is depending also on the pressure. Low pressure == lower efficiency of heat transfer. Martian surface is around 600Pa, only 0.6% of Earth surface pressure.

This means, that entire Mars reentry profile is comparable to reentering just 0.6% of Earth atmosphere mass. This happens at around 40km (25miles) on Earth. It means, that if it is able to reach 40km above surface of Earth it is as if it already crossed entire Mars atmosphere.

It is also worth noting that the altitude of peak heating depends heavily on angle of reentry. In a steep reentry the period of peak heating happens much lower. For example, the peak heating for Space Shuttle was at about 70km, but that was only because the profile was kept purposefully extremely shallow to be done with heating before it reaches dense atmosphere.

You be the judge if it is enough to completely burn up Tesla Roadster, I find it difficult to reach any scientific study of Tesla Roadsters being thrown into Mars gravity well to watch results.
SpaceX has tons of dealings with both, though. I highly doubt it's something SpaceX could just do on their own, but it seems completely reasonable that they would have the channels to the correct people to arrange it, especially given the dangers they'd outlined that it posed.
There's a typo on the App Store listing screenshot: "Never loose the news you liked." Should be lose.

I wonder whether this may even dovetail with Tim Noakes’ “central govenor” theory:

No. Just experience. Most 18Fs I know are GS-14/GS-15.
IMO this is technically criminal. States should be able to buy the rights and make a steady supply.

Roche is low on this.
I see the point you're making, but you have to consider the other side of it as well. Most of these agencies are running ancient software, on ancient OSes, with decades of kludges layered on top to address requirements that change every six months. It's not the precise, time-tested COBOL you're imagining. Think in terms of "enterprise-ready" languages with tons of obscure, expensive, and undocumented modules. No automated testing, no documented REST APIs, no version control or package management.

Developing on top of these systems is extremely difficult and has lead to many high profile budget overruns-- Sometimes to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Keep in mind that the head of Social Security was actually called in front of congress to explain how things got so bad [1], and the prospect of using modern development processes seems like a pretty good idea.

Definitely fast and elegant. I like it very much! I thought at first, that it didn't show comment threads with indents, I almost missed the "X replies" label. I like it the way it is, however.

Just two things:

1. In the "Lists"-tab, it says "synched". I'm not a native speaker, but I guess that should be "synced"?

2. Maybe I just missed it, but: Is there any way to submit a comment from within the app?
> our family doctor (G.P. or General Practitioner, we call them)

We have the same term and abbreviation in the US for the same people, but I never know how many people who didn't grow up around medical people know it.

> As for the misdiagnosis made by our family doctor (G.P. or General Practitioner, we call them), I'm not qualified to comment on whether it was a reasonable error or not.

Sometimes it is, and it still goes to court. I'm biased towards the US in my knowledge, but a doctor or nurse can be legitimately afraid of, essentially, the precise kind of case your son was the victim of: The extremely rare serious problem masquerading as a very common and not-very-serious problem. That road goes directly into malpractice lawsuit territory, and when you're on that road everyone goes a bit insane.

Everyone in the medical field carries malpractice insurance because, as I've implied, some malpractice lawsuits are inevitable, due to a confluence of reasonable judgement and an unreasonably uncommon malady. Does this mean malpractice law needs to be reformed (read: done away with)? No, because some people out there practicing medicine are really incompetent, or lazy, or just go a bit weird and start cutting their initials onto livers like some deranged Zorro. We need some way to get those people out of the profession.

I guess I'm not really leading anywhere with this. The fact innocent people will have to go to court over reasonable judgment which leads to a bad outcome because of blind chance is just magnifying the unfairness of the whole event, increasing it and spreading it around. Will it make the MD more likely to correctly diagnose next time? It might make them more likely to order a test that's probably not warranted statistically. That's not the same thing. Everyone's human, and humans are sometimes incompetent and malicious, so we need malpractice law, but humans sometimes make honest mistakes and always use limited evidence to reach conclusions which are sometimes wrong, so malpractice suits catch innocents and send them through a wringer.
For normal game logic I doubt the average user will ever cross that barrier.

C# in Unity can be blistering fast despite the GC if written correctly, and going to C++ still requires about as much (if not more) effort and knowledge as writing C# in a GC friendly way
Fair point, I concede. I took your statement to be wider in applicability than was clear from the context.
I believe it also depends on what state you're working, at least in U.S.

According to Joel Spolsky employer owns anything you do on the side in NY whether it's related to your office work or not.

If you look at pictures of the Zumwalts putting around, you'll see they have standard naval radars mounted atop the deckhouse. Also, with stealth aircraft it's common practice to attach reflectors when not on a mission to go blow someone up. I imagine it's the same for the ships.
Whats the advantage to these over the Arleigh Burke III's other than that these look cooler? It seems like you could have 2 or 3 of the Burke class for every one of these.
Can you give an example? For a GS-15 Making max salary, which is 164K. That is the base. It goes up quite a bit if you include 5% 401k match and retirement. So the total compensation is quite more than just 164K.
Its a day later but i did some reading.

Essentially:

> By using Facebook/Whatsapp you are directly supporting the U.S.

is just as valid isnt it? Because you know Zuck has been to the White House and has followed requests by U.S. gov agencies.

Thats my whole point. If you have to choose between 2 evils, you choose that that is less threatening to yourself.

PS: I dont compare with Signal as they have neither spread nor common features.
Oh come on, this is just survivorship bias, self-help crap. Millionaires are just normal people with lots of money, there's nothing particularly unique about them.
And Google cash costs Google less than other people's.
It's not like CM first level is going to change. The other floors are just offices, perhaps a majority of it already allocated to Google.
Is it possible to share contexts with OpenGL for visualization ?
I'm going to look into this asap. And I'm taking note of your suggestion!

You're making me thinking I should probably setup a bug reporting system for long term maintenance.
Thank you!
In fairness, with the C5 as a benchmark, you'd hope they can't make anything worse...
Unfortunately that Thai place closed due to the rising cost of rent in the building. I work in the Food Network office in CM. For now, heh.
You care comparing installer size. Typically an installer is considerably smaller than the installed app size and usually the installer is deleted. So it's not really worth comparing installer sizes.

For comparison of installed size:

- Code.exe is 77MB (version 1.20.0)

- directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code" is 225 MB
Adjusting the time when you work is not an option for 99% of people.

Also, an extra hour of light in in the morning is barely noticeable to most people, who are struggling to wake up, get dressed, deal with family, and commute to work in time, to even notice whether the sun is out yet or not.

In the evening, on the contrary, most people go out and have fun, so an extra hour of light is a big deal.
I see this sentiment all the time and the answer is "nooooo." It's honestly getting frustrating, and I tire of writing the same apologia.

No C++ isn't unproductive. Go and C# is NOT FAST OR SUITABLE FOR GAME DEV (AAA in particular but even lighter games. You'll pry manual memory management from me from my cold dead hands). Maybe you mention C# because it "powers" Unity? Guess what, it compiles to C++ through the IL backend. Other languages haven't figured out cross-platform. And I don't mean Mac and PC. I mean Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, Linux, Playstation, Xbox, etc. People keep writing about C++'s demise, but I don't see them writing LCP constraint solvers in other languages successfully. I will submit that of the things you mentioned, Rust and Nim are closer to the target since, at least, they don't run on this slow as molasses runtime (slow in game terms), but they are extreeeeeeemely immature, and you're talking on porting very complex problems. No thanks, I'll take the thing that has an actual standards committee where I can determine exactly how to control or tweak things at whim.

Basically, this type of comment is always a cheap shot to get upvotes but simultaneously always misinformed and from someone without actual game development experience.
I suspect you are correct. The fact that the second doctor I saw immediately sent him to hospital makes me think the first doctor was not doing her job properly. I guess that's why they say you should always get a second opinion.
Depends on the task - it turns out rocket thrust is quite parallelizeable
Yeah, the Internet is a godsend to people who repair their own appliances. For the most part you just have to figure out what's wrong (most appliances are pretty simple, so this isn't very hard), then look at the part for a model number and punch it into Google. Failing that you can enter the model number of the appliance and often get a parts list. The part you get usually won't be an exact match, but it should work, although you may have to fabricobble a bracket if the new part isn't the same size/shape or has mounting holes in a different location. This is pretty rare though, usually it's just bolting the part on.

This is also when you discover that even though Frigidare may sell dozens or hundreds of different fridge models at wildly different price points over the years, most of them use basically the same innards.
What's wrong with 8 to 4? I've been doing it for decades. Sometimes I do 6 to 14 and so on. If projects require, I'll do 10 to 18, etc. What's that big fuss about that?
Not at all. It's always packed with tourists. Most of my coworkers and I go outside of CM to eat because it's pretty pricy.
