Stackoverflow.. such a horrible place.

If they want the site to be what the mods say they want then the answer is simple: have a test before you get membership. The policies say basically we don't want anyone who is not already good on this area and also we will punish and very publicly humiliate you to "help" you learn.

Hate to say it as one, but this is just aspie ignorance.

1. People learn with support, that makes a community. Otherwise they are your enemies and this is an arms race

2. People don't know how to ask questions about things they don't know about, don't be idiots.

3. If people aren't asking questions how will you get points?

There are many more issues etc but those are some blondes IMHO. They should definitely drop anything about being for hobbyists as it is totally not.

There are many easy solutions but it's not what the mods want so it's prolly gonna die.

E.g. only let low score / new user to answer questions at first . Especially for new or low score users

That way everyone has a chance to learn from some one closer to their skill level.

Then after it's answered open it wider.. that way the question should already be cleaned up before skeet sees it.

I don't mind having a chat with someone to explain how to all their specific question, or narrow down a wide open one to something more specific. I realise that I may be turning someone of programming for decade if I act like those it comes naturally to.. you need time to toughen up before you can take the full force of an geek who cannot see your face but had to deal with your ignorance.

Also don't close or deleted questions, just have a tag and filter then out of normal searches.

People love the opinion questions and to me they are more valuable that something I can brute force if I have to.

Anyways I could go on all day.. but there is no point as it's a community and it's their choice, but we need something similar for non expert humans too.
I wonder whether they got a big dose of radiation from being so high with all those high energy particles.

Uhm, there are many companies that have access via the FB API to users' data and the data of their friends. E.g. CA/SCL. The TOS says you're not allowed to pass it on to third parties but that is exactly what CA/SCL did and FB didn't do much about it when they found out.

So much for protecting your personal info. That is why such a stink is being made about this story.
"I'm fairly sure at least one of the buildings exploded due to hydrogen build up"

There were four explosions. The no. 1 and 3 buildings exploded quite visibly and video of both events is readily available. The no. 2 reactor suppression pool exploded and damaged the suppression pool. The no. 4 reactor also experienced an explosion; this event was initially believed to be related to the no. 4 spent fuel pool, but was later attributed to accumulated hydrogen from the no. 3 reactor.

Ah, maybe we're talking of different things indeed. As for the padding, in my experience it happens very often, not with random sentences of course, but with unnecessary chapters, paraphrasing, too many anecdotes etc. If you think about it, it's not that surprising: why every idea worth a book should need 250+ pages to discuss? What about the many blog posts or TED talks artificially turned into a book, for money and prestige?

Such were held and enforced by the state, not by local businesses. Say, more or less the same people who run network-scale intercepts and tracking nowadays, and collect/access/process a lot of real-word records about you.

>You spent money to animate something

Is this true? From the article it doesn't sound like Snapchat made the ad. It sounds like some other company made the ad and paid Snapchat for it to be placed on Snapchat.
There are trivial amounts of alcohol in a lot of things that teetotalers end up consuming, even the religiously so ones.

Vanilla extract, meats cooked in alcohol (it does not all burn off), some vinegars, mustard, cooking spray, "non-alcoholic" wine/beer -- they all have marginal amounts of alcohol.
I wonder who and why would use the feature?

These matrices are slow. Many kernels used in practice are separable https://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2006/11/28/separable-convo... and therefore much faster to compute than a generic convolution matrix.

Also the UI is hard to use. 25 edit boxes is a lot.
This is not so much about the interaction between the two parties, but aboutjust taxes.
if companies can go wherever taxes are the lowest, without impact on profits, there will be a race to the bottom in corporate tax laws.

In order to have an optimal amount of taxes for tech companies that can move at a whim, you need some sorts of capital controls that prevent that.

I find a sales tax to be a very lean approach.

Interesting, I have a little sideproject at work that would really benefit from markdown -> rtf.
they probably had more than one person in the car, which is probably against tos anyway. The first day they made $63 in 5 hours, about 12.50. but the second day was $12 in 3 hours.

basically postmates should have told them to logout the second day. and $16 for 2.5 hours for the laptop is really bad.

the first 2.5 hours they were making $19/hour. it seems like all of these platforms you can make an OK wage if you learn how to game bonuses/surge pay/demand, but its counter to the work whenever you want.
>So with that said, why do you believe that it's unethical to call out Trump and by extension CA's actions

Nothing in that wall of text justifies your twisting of my words.

>I don't think that we're exaggerating here calling it a data breach...And while I'll admit the term data breach is a bit of a stretch

If you weren't in such a desperate rush to misconstrue my argument, perhaps you would be able to maintain consistency in your own.

Once again, I am speaking of the ethics of exaggeration and selective accountability in journalism. My point is not that it is unethical to call attention to this misuse of data, but that the post title likely deliberately misleading because of enablers like yourself, who selectively turn a blind eye to such embellishment at any mention of Trump or the GOP.
At first I thought that Google had purchased what3words[0] but it turns out that this is a completely independent offering. I like the idea of what3words but I feel like the Plus Codes might be more workable. For one thing you can shorten them by not using the global prefix. Also, you can sorta almost tell how close two locations might be with Plus Codes.

With what3words each location is easier to remember (it's just 3 words) but the locations don't have any commonality to them at all. So, its impossible to tell at a glance if two locations are anywhere near each other.

Let's say a company has their headquarters in country A. A user from country B uploads a video filmed in country C. Someone from country D buys an ad to be placed on that video, and the purchase is processed in country E, while the sales agent is based in country F. A different user in country G watches the video and clicks on the ad. The video was served from a server in country H, and the ad from a server in country I.

Where does the company pay taxes?

There are at least two reasons why a locality would want to impose taxes on a foreign company.

1) The foreign company is using loopholes to dodge taxes à la Amazon having dodged sales tax for decades at the expense of local retailers who have to charge sales tax.

2) Protectionism. A specific tax to give local competitors an edge in order to promote the development of local businesses. The rationale behind is this is to trade off the advantages of a "better" foreign offering in order to develop a local company that has more incentive to reinvest its earnings into the local economy. An example would be India heavily taxing Apple products to produce iPhones inside India so that a bulk of the money spent would go back into the Indian economy in the form of wages for factory workers, instead of going to the US and China.

Another example is US and Europe protecting the interests of Boeing and Airbus respectively due to the national security importance of the aerospace companies.

In some cases if another (single) country invents the wheel and thus controls the world's supply, your country would benefit from importing the wheel and selling the other country the axel. But as it turns out wheels are very useful and if the other country has a near monopoly on it due to scarcity, your country would opt to reinvent the wheel so they have the ability to produce the whole wheel and axel combo within the borders without being gouged for price.
Applying fourier transform to impulse response results in the frequency response:

I think this would work only if the system in question is reasonably linear though, which wine glass might not be (?)
That would be great because even we Europeans would profit from it: US regulators and law enforcement can be incredibly brutal.
Quaternions are used to describe a rotation in 3D-space. Three numbers give the rotation axis and the magnitude of all four is the rotation angle. They are used instead of euler angles because they don't have a singularity problem (gimbal lock). I don't know if this plays a role here. Could these neural networks represent 3D transformations really well?
You're plan sounds very appealing, but is unfortunately very limited to non-wet-lab sciences, such as CS. The amount of set-up and running costs for just a barebones functioning laboratory, e.g. in biochemistry, is in the multi-million dollar range, so there you will still be needing some sort of funding or a very large savings account.
I agree he is wrong on that point. The recursive descent is easy to see here:

Search for statement() and forstmt().

(This site has a more modern, easier-to-read version of the Github files, which at least has #defines rather than hard-coded ints!!!)

But a large part of it is also Dijikstra's shunting yard algorithm:

http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/source/c...

Read an expression and return a pointer to its tree. It's the classical bottom-up, priority-driven scheme. The initflg prevents the parse from going past "," or ":" because those delimitesrs are special
in initializer (and some other) expressions.

5 Tips to Learn Any Programming Language
You don't have to hire someone new. You just label an existing employee "compliance officer" and give him the relevant authority. Chances are he won't have to reply to a single letter, because unlike the web board imaginations, next to nobody will be motivated enough to actually send such a letter.

And all bigger companies already have a data protection officer, so he just gets this new job title.

How are zero-rate imports better for everyone?

The consumer saves money. The government loses sales tax revenue, loses income tax revenue from the people that could have made it locally, has lower employment rates.

Buying locally doesn't always make sense, but often you can make an economic argument that paying slightly more for something made and sold locally is better for the consumer too.
I played every new version of the game over the years. In some ways the game changed a lot, in other ways it still remains true to it's origins. You can still get the original version from some sites that specialize in old games. The newest version is Civilization 6 which is available from Steam. The versions I personally enjoyed the most was Civilization 4 and 5.

I live in the US, _good luck_ enforcing foreign law on me.

It's a sign that the people here have the most fundamental control over their legal system. It's not my problem if country B cant do that, but I would REALLY like country B to have the same power over their legal system.

I could go into the real tests and what it means to have a legal system where the individual has so much power, and how to achieve that, but you are ignoring the distinction between enforcing foreign laws on a US citizen and a citizen of country B.

You are implicitly admitting the asymmetry, but instead of fixing country B, do you want country A to weaken it's system so that it has the same foreign influence bug as country B?
The My Lai massacre is an important event because what happened to the soldiers who committed the atrocities (nothing) echoes through history. Nobody is still being punished for what happened in Haditha, Abu Ghraib or Gitmo.

During the 1940s the US prosecuted Japanese and German war criminals by adhering to the Yamashita principle and disqualifying the Nuremberg defense; basically, commanders are always responsible for crimes that their soldiers commit if they aren't actively combating it themselves (this is what convicted Yamashita, who occupied the Philippines) and you can't blame your CO when you commit war crimes (which convicted a lot of people in Nuremberg).

But, after the My Lai massacre, the soldiers could successfully use the Nuremberg defense themselves. Their CO was also not under the Yamashita principle because he only served three years of a commuted sentence.
The My Lai massacre should not be forgotten because it's a reminder that it's been more than 50 years now, when is America going to start measuring up to the moral standards it claims it has?
Yep. So Obama is just "good" and Trump is just "bad". Way to view things boy.

My current employer's workday requires only 7 hours per day and the commute time is also around 1 hour up and down that leaves me a lot of time to work on stuff that I love to do. I read books, write code for fun and so on. When it comes to running a family then it matters more since you have dependents that need your time more than ever. Work life balance for me mostly matters on less work that I need to bring home so that I can focus on stuff that I care about.

I also find more satisfaction in doing work that impact people like a patch that helps the other developer in a certain tool and so on that further increases the interest and responsibility in my work that also has a positive feel on my life that I did something worthwhile today. Different people that satisfaction in different ways of work that they are willing to spend time on.
Why are you sending us to a “Dub Step” audio track titled “An ten nae ft Buccaneer Warning”?
It's highly doubtful they did, but it's how the person who took offense in this situation exclaimed it happened, so that's how it will get coverage of.

A great reminder that spatial locality can be critical to performance. But that's actually quite well-known, and maybe a more important lesson would be: don't take performance for granted, even in standard libraries of well stablished languages or algorithms, there might be much room for improvement for your use case (if you need it).

This said, the article feels quite arrogant. As other commenters say, the idea behind the optimization is nothing new, just some basic concepts well applied. Which is a job well done, but probably doesn't justify the tone (that at least I perceive) from the article.

Snapchat does not just send pictures around. First of all a big part of their value proposition is ephemeral communication in a time and age where everything lasts for ever. Yes there are ways to work around it (using an unofficial client that allows you to save snaps without telling the other person you did) but still.

Additionally, Snapchat has a bunch of effects that you can add on top of videos that people enjoy, for example the dog ears and nose and tongue.

And Snapchat has text chat and group chat.

And Snapchat has “stories” that you can post pictures and videos to and view other peoples “stories”. A story is a feed. You can either post to a story that your friends can see or a story that people in a group can see or to “our story” that everyone can see.

The intristic value is communication. They are far from the only one to let you communicate but they have a polished product and they are offering a different sort of communication than a lot of others do.

Any neuroscientists out there know if cycles (from graph theory) are possible in the brain?

> Buying locally doesn't always make sense, but often you can make an economic argument that paying slightly more for something made and sold locally is better for the consumer too.

9/10 times this isn't correct. If you live in an urban capital, sure. If you live in somewhere more rural, oftentimes the only local makers in the area will be rather terrible, and a large company will have a better warranty almost all of the time.

> The consumer saves money. The government loses sales tax revenue, loses income tax revenue from the people that could have made it locally, has lower employment rates.

The consumer has a higher chance of the product they bought having support in three years.

> How are zero-rate imports better for everyone?

More opportunities for the consumer to buy things, more incentive for the company to entice customers with benefits, government isn't "everyone," and they still benefit by more net units sold because they can tax on-sale still.
I think this applies in many parts of life. I have a customer right now who fired off a brief email asking for something that will take quite a lot of my time, I will push some of it back on them.
