It's joke, and it has "The Simpsons" in it. Come on now :)
An alternative is just to count seconds. Be as precise as you need (m? k? M?). A little like unix timestamps, except without the rule that says "there's 86400 of them in a day no matter how many seconds there were in that day".

And then let "Sunday", "Monday" etc become simply approximate terms. And I never have any idea what day of the month it is so I don't care. (Birthdays and public holidays are set based some recurring feature of the count.)

A refinement of this uses a time period that is approximately 100,000th of a day so then people can easily notice the day. In practice we might use hectokiloperiods instead of periods. Someone will invite a less woeful name.

Nothing about telling time will be particular familiar. Doesn't mean it won't work. But I suspect it'll be awful. I'm fine with daylight savings and all the rest of it. Except days of months. Can't we just say "Monday, third week of June"? or "Wednesday, 39th week"?
That’s one reason. Another is NSS:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Name-Servi...

It’s a mechanism in glibc for loading dynamic libraries at runtime (based on a config file) to handle DNS and some other things. Anything statically linked can’t support this, which can cause issues with some setups.

This is exactly my impression. A friend bought a new Tesla S and one day while getting out of it I saw some quality problems that are easily seen on the outside by just passing by. I wonder what problems could arise if I inspect it in details.

We have developed one of the modules for all BMW series and I used to visit some of the BMW plants in Europe so I have a relatively good impression of their quality. Just an example: the tires are screwed manually by hand. With an automatic screwdriver, but still by hand... in Germany. When I asked why, they said that they have tried doing this automatically, but back then ( 5 years ago) there was no robot that could do it with that quality. So sometimes quality depends heavily on experience. And Tesla does not have enough experience.

This friend of mine had to bring back his Tesla a couple of weeks after he bought it, because the salesman told him on the day he received the car, that there were some small details that needed some improvements. On a 100k car. And unfortunately they have not fixed the flaws that I observed. Apparently there were also other things to fix.

I am huge fan of Tesla. I hope they succeed. But I will not but one in the 10 years. I will just let them gain some experience with serial production first.

I love how they're making it an "immigrant" issue and the gig-economy companies are "abdicating responsibility". Meanwhile actual residents of NYC are vehemently against how reckless and dangerous these people are. It's a good example of how agendas in the media have gotten out of control.
To all the down-voters, let me rephrase my opinion again. I do take serious look on candidates Github profile, if they include that in their resume. And if they has some reasonable big projects, but they calendar seems empty, I will immediately think that the code is not belong to them. Perhaps that just forks, or, worse, that are stolen code.

I would also check they PR, issue and comments, to get some idea about how they work with stranger; what are important to them when they suggest ideas, contribute to existing code base; how they reply to critic or question from project owner, etc.

Also, just my opinion, most of us - software developers - can't live without OSS. We should contribute back when we could. That's why I usually prefer resume with a non empty Github profile than the others.

I live in NYC and I bike every day. I have no problem with e-bikes and I think the fact that they are getting confiscated is extremely misguided given that they are receiving praise in many other cities as a smart alternative to cars. It's insane that the police in NYC are so concerned about these bikes killing people meanwhile there are dozens of bicyclists dying every year due to car accidents and virtually no bicycle-related pedestrian deaths. Biking is by far the most dangerous thing I ever do by an order of magnitude; I've almost been crushed by cars multiple times, I've actually been brushed by cars a couple of times, and multiple friends of mine have been hurt. I'm considering stopping biking because of this, but the truth is that it is so much faster than taking the train or walking that my morning commute from Greenpoint to LES would not really make much sense without a bike. I find it ironic that police are notorious for parking in bike lanes causing bikes to have to veer out into traffic to get around them, which is extremely dangerous. (See http://copsinbikelanes.tumblr.com/)

I understand that bikes are more concerning than cars for pedestrians due to being quiet and going the wrong way, and I hate as much as the next guy. It is bicyclists' responsibility to obey traffic laws. It seems that the police should enforce the laws against these e-bikes going the wrong way or not stopping at stop signs, not for existing in the first place.
In case you find these confiscations as misguided as I do, it looks like there is an existing petition against this: https://www.change.org/p/legalize-class-i-pedal-assist-elect...

the data often cited showing that drivers break just as many laws

I think it's that drivers break laws in more predictable ways. They may run red lights in the first few seconds, not come to complete stops when required, and aggressively try to turn right on red. But for pedestrians, those actions are easier to foresee and protect against than the minority of cyclists who completely ignore traffic laws.
The market is "vast", yet "not significant enough" for manufacturers to take advantage of it? Doesn't sound vast to me.

> * and the data often cited showing that drivers break just as many laws.*

I’m also doubtful and suspect that the data is essentially cherry picked. Relative to distance travelled, I suspect cyclists do indeed break traffic laws more frequently. Especially if “severity” of violation is accounted for.

i.e. There’s often some jackass in a car who runs the red light shortly after it changes. However, despite the blatant law violation, it’s not that dangerous because it happens immediately after the light change and for better or worse, people expect it. Cyclists on the other hand will often blow through a light whenever they get there if they think they can make it through without getting hit, whether that’s right after the light changes or two minutes later. The car running the red light immediately after it changes is quite frequent but the cyclist running the light whenever it’s convenient is more egregious even if less frequent.

Assuming that "bringing it to Earth" means landing it on the surface, it'd have to be in truly ridiculous quantities to have any measurable effect – likely far more than the combined mass of everything mankind has and ever will place on Earth's surface.

If "bringing it to Earth" means placing asteroids in orbit, I'm less certain, but unless we're placing bodies around a third of the size of the moon or larger (really huge) in orbit there shouldn't be any notable effect from our point of view.

"The process is particularly intrusive at the top-secret level, with investigators examining an applicant's personal relationships, former employers, financial history and lifestyle."

You know this is really crap and it's the governments fault.

One, people don't want a government agent digging into every area of their lives looking for hints of marijuana smoke or evil immoral dealings.

Two, and more significantly, when you apply for these clearances you have to sign release forms for your medical data including mental health records. As a result, people who work or want to work in these fields are afraid to seek mental health treatment, or are afraid to be honest with their mental health providers because saying the wrong thing might result in the professional making a little harmless note, which will be released to government investigators, which will destroy your livelihood in that sector of work.

I understand the need for the government to strictly check their people, but the scope of check needed really prevents lots of good people from going through the process.

I think it's a shame.

List of Top Chicken Waterer for Your Chickens
Just to make sure I'm not completely confused here: "Information can't be lost" and "you can't arrive to the same state of the universe through two different paths" are two ways to state exactly the same thing, right? Regardless of the the details of the rest of your physics (though you do need various notions to build up that far - time, with at least a past and a present, the ability to call states the "same" or not, etc.)

For instance, in cellular automata, the way that you would state that same concept is "the update function is injective". In our universe's physics, AIUI injectivity is involved somewhere in the definition of unitarity.
There is an even better alternative. You can put infrastructure information into the same version control repository where your infrastructure code lives, and you can even keep all the benefits of spreadsheets by using plain text format spreadsheets like Org-mode tables.

This means you do not have two sources of truth to maintain (what is in the RDBMS, and how that relates to what is in the infrastructure code repository), the RDBMS system does not have to reinvent versioning, you can see exactly how your infrastructure evolves, you can do atomic changes to both the infrastructure code and the infrastructure information that the code relies on (obviously you need a modern version control system for this), and the infrastructure code can access the infrastructure information in a much more straightforward (and much easier to test) way.
Mainly because inception v3 alone takes around 80MBs. Add the project, few things to be able to read the model effectively (offline, on-the-go) and here we go - 100MBs :)

Bad/undesired decisions don’t require blatant corruption. This seems a simple case of poor incentives. If an ISP does egress filtering well, essentially no one notices. If they screw it up, customers lose connectivity and some portion of those customers will likely leave for a competitor. There’s risk with no reward.
> "Another way to think of the maker mender difference is to think about the difference between new construction and remodeling."

A more accurate construction metaphor:
I hire a teenager with ADHD and an energy drink addiction to build a minimum viable house by stacking cardboard boxes. The finished house looks beautiful as long as I don't try to live in it... or touch anything.

I decide to hire a second contractor to incrementally replace the cardboard boxes with wood and brick. Along the way I make numerous requests to redesign parts of the house and constantly complain about how long it is taking.

I expect to pay the second contractor a fraction of what I paid the first kid since their role doesn't require the same kind of creativity. This is perfectly reasonable since the house was already built and all I needed was a little hurricane proofing.

Vox 2.7 Crack Keygen for Mac OS X Full Download – Crack4Mac
Nonsense. The headaches aren't caused by daylight savings. They're caused by incompetently programmed libraries and systems. If I travel to Indonesia for a week, I want my reminders that are set to occur at 4pm to occur at 4pm. But Google decides that they should happen at 4pm - time zone offset in my home location + time zone offset in my current location. It's insanity. Also, it's insanity that there aren't standard libraries to let me say "4pm". And that programmers think timestamps solve all problems. And that you can use a timestamp to represent a day. But these are all issues that need to be fixed even if we get rid of daylight savings.

Deciding there are gradual drifts to standard time on a daily or weekly basis will cause some hassle. But it will not create a new class of problem that doesn't already exist and which doesn't already need to be fixed.

And time is absolutely the kind of problem that needs to be solved with a few standard libraries, rather than every two bit programmer thinking "i can add two hours to this number, it's a piece of cake".
> The article certainly didn't provide evidence for it. But is this really a liberal vs. conservative issue? I've heard Berkeley has similar NIMBYism, and that's a very liberal area, right? Is Sunset really that conservative?

Liberal/conservative on civil rights and social issues isn't the right model to use to understand the sides of this issue.

It's more of an intergenerational conflict amplified by differences in wealth and income. In the Bay Area, the NIMBY contingent tends to skew to the older (i.e. baby boomer, early gen-X) generation, especially the more wealthy (in $ and property) among them.

The YIMBY crowd skews to the younger generations (late gen-X to millenials), who sometimes have good incomes, but lack the wealth/capital to afford the local housing market as it is currently configured.
Founder of Nomorobo here. We put a stop to all of those annoying robocalls, telemarketers, and spam/scam calls and texts. It's about the only thing that works nowadays.

It's not your imagination - these types of calls are out of control. According to our data, 40% of all calls made in the US are illegal, unwanted spam/scam robocalls. And those "neighbor" spoofed calls (same area code and extension) are especially prevalent now. Beginning last summer, they started to account for ~20% of all robocalls. Before that they were only about 2% of all robocall volume.

The Do Not Call list is almost completely ineffective against these types of calls. It was created 15+ years ago to stop legitimate companies from telemarketing. But today's robocallers are criminals that don't really care about the law. They have one goal - scam people and take their money.

Manually blocking calls will also get you nowhere. And please, for the love of god, don't press a number to get on their alleged "do-not-call" list. That will guarantee that you will get even more robocalls - they know you're a live number now.

On the technical side, our landline service (free) is powered by Twilio and our mobile product is available in both app stores (14 day free trial, $2 bucks a month after that). We're a PHP/Laravel shop and our team is completely remote.

To do the actual detection, our algorithm analyzes over 70M calls per month and adds over 1,300 new numbers to the blacklist every day. We built the world's largest commercial telephony honeypot (300k+ lines) and can detect new attacks within minutes of them starting (even with spoofed numbers). Just last month, Nomorobo stopped over 27 million from reaching people's phones.

I'm happy to answer any other questions that you have about robocalls. I'm kind of the "robocall guy". I won the FTC Robocall challenge back in 2013 and grew Nomorobo to be the leading robocall blocker on the market. I've even testified in front of the US Senate about the robocall epidemic.

I have to work with SAS now and again in my research. I grit my teeth and bear it.
So... did you use HTTP because the client side required it or it made the client side much easier, or was that just what came to mind? Because this seems to be exactly the type of thing I would generally use the default OpenSSH installaction on the box for, pre-shared keys, and possibly even setting a specific shell on the specified public key on the user side on the server to prevent random shell access.

There's some really interesting advanced features of OpenSSH that most people will never have need for, but you can come up with some really interesting solutions. For example, you could also use a single remote account that allows SSH access and has a separate public key for each user that sets an environment var for the target desires user, and restrict the command run to sudo with that environment variable defining to run as that specific user, and make sure sudo is configured for the users allowed.

A microservice isn't a bad idea, it's just interesting how many ways there usually are to accomplish what seems like odd, specific custom workflow in most UNIX environments.
