There was NO built-in defragmenter in Windows NT 4.0, it came first in Windows 2000.
I don't think your inner voice triggers anything, though. I find it more likely that you have to move your tongue as if you're speaking, but without opening your mouth.
I'm working in Sweden, coming from Brazil and I didn't finish my degree, I can say that finding a company here which wants to sponsor a visa for skilled workers without a degree is not hard.
> Of course I do.

Right, well here's the answer to the original question then. If you want teachers to be able to teach calculus, and you agree people should have an education in a subject to teach it, then you need the teachers to study calculus themselves, which they weren't necessarily doing, because they studied things other than maths, so you need to use more resources to have them also take calculus classes, so it costs more.
That's a really great analogy. I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't the opening scene of Deadpool produced for this very reason?
I think the whole point of the joke is that URL shorteners have already made it impossible to look at URLs and intuit anything about where they lead and how reliable they are. e.g. the "t.co" through which all twitter links are blinded.
My favorite tip:

Add console.log statements anywhere in your code by adding "conditional breakpoints" and writing a console.log in the breakpoint expression.
Leap Motion designed a $100 augmented reality headset with hand tracking
I like this idea a lot, but can easily imagine Uber screwing it up by setting 100% as the "this driver is at risk of being dropped" threshold so everybody feels obligated to give 110% if the driver's been basically polite and on time anyway...
I applaud the FreeCAD team for their efforts and hope it will become to 3D mechanical CAD what KiCAD has become for PCB design and schematic capture.

That said, I can get Fusion360 for free, and while I hate the fact that it's not open-source and that my files are hidden and locked away ond Autodesk's servers and that they can cancel my free "hobbyist" subscription on a whim, Fusion360 is so much easier and faster to use for my small weekend projects that I just cannot bring myself to go through the pain of learning how to avoid the random crashes of FreeCAD.

EDIT:
if there is a donation page for FreeCAD, I am willing to pitch in.

Korea likely to be 3rd country to fine Apple for unfair contracts with carriers
I feel like there is way too much heterogeneity in education. One bad Apple teacher/professor will ruin significant portions of a generation. At th college level, I’ve seen people lose scholarships because some professor had an axe to grind - just for the sake of being mean.

Then things like the SATs and GRE compound the problem. Little human knowledge accurately boils down to true/false, multiple choice, or robot graded literature. I also used to hear tales of foreign students memorizing whole books of solutions and essay examples. I competed with them while still doing homework and taking tests - no rime for memorizing at any required scale.
I have been using FreeCAD for a while for real projects where I would have used Inventor. My assemblies and parts are not huge, and being able to write things in python is awesome. You can even use FreeCAD without the gui from python. I am currently trying to get FreeDyn, a multibody dynamics simulation program to work with it [1]. I have used the FEM workbench to do simple FEAs too. It's an amazingly open platform with a lot of potential.

Congrats, but I never understood why they don't build their own storage and CDN solution. Infrastructure is hard, especially operating a video cdn, but focusing on a video player, that is easily replaced with another solution or an encoding service that can be build inhouse way cheaper are (for me personally) no selling points.

But apparently that's enough :)
Surely Google Reader had numbers that influenced the decision to shut it down?
That's actually pretty easy to tell.

Simply deleting or duplicating genes is entirely natural. Any CRISPR mutation achieved through merely duplicating or deleting sequences is therefore also achievable through selective breeding.

Transferring genes from one strain of a species to another while the two species can interbreed is also very clearly natural.

The above but if the interbreeding process requires artificial help would be more of a slippery slope but in theory you could still do selective breeding in that case.

Transferring a gene from a potato to a strawberry would not be achievable by selectively breeding the two (purely because those two can't interbreed at all in this example).
I spent too much of my life learning to do things by following rules, up to and including a PhD and an MBA. I've since learned to love learning by doing and diving in.

Food is probably the best success in that area, combined with the observation that constraints breed creativity. My cooking gets high reviews (from friends, not critics http://joshuaspodek.com/food-world-reviews) and has inspired my passion and podcast on leadership and the environment http://joshuaspodek.com/podcast.

Two constraints revolutionized my cooking:

- to avoid food packaging

- to avoid food where fiber has been removed

Joining a CSA/farm share helped a lot too, by forcing a deluge of new produce on me that I had to figure out what to do with. I guess a third constraint was not to allow any food to go to waste.

The three constraints force me to cook almost entirely from fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and bulk legumes, nuts, grains, and seeds (filling bags I bring with me to the bulk food store).

My diet became bland when I stopped packaged food since I didn't know what to do and mostly steamed vegetables or fried them with garlic and onions -- not bad once in a while but not exclusively. I don't like bland and do like delicious (I'm funny that way), so I experimented and learned how to combine flavors and textures to my tastes.

Now my food is more delicious than ever. It's also cheaper, more convenient, and more social (I've met the farmers and visit their farm annually, and I invite people to dinner more than ever, plus I get invited to cook for friends' dinner parties). I love finding new local produce and the change of seasons bringing foods I haven't had for a year. I also pollute less -- I last threw out my landfill garbage in June.

If you've read this far and care for advice, I advise just forcing yourself to cook from scratch for six months, no exceptions. Your diet will be boring and bland for a few months, but by a year, you'll find your diet more delicious than ever. At least that worked for me. My blog posts a lot about avoiding food packaging http://joshuaspodek.com/js_blogseries/avoiding-food-packagin... and such if you click around.

Oh, and buy a pressure cooker.
I'm currently job-seeking and I've seen many jobs ads asking for CI experience.
I'm not fond of using SaaS solutions and would like to fiddle with CI in private (e.g. using a private gitlab repo.

What would be the steps to setup an own, private and open source CI solution for, say, a Go, PHP, or JavaScript project?
> I'm relatively sure that AWS wants it this way

Oh yes. Capture is definitely the name of the game. For 'engineers' or 'software developers' to become instead 'iOS/Android/AWS developers' is good business for the corporations concerned (and ultimately, in my opinion, very bad for us).
Can you help me. Why wouldn't I just setup Postgres or a similar database on a less expensive and better known cloud provider (Digital Ocean, AlibabaCloud, Amazon, Azure, Google etc.)? Many of these have similar pre-configured database systems.
Yes. And Android/iOS.
> I have a European card (chip & PIN, PIN preference), and at restaurants in the US I've always signed and never had to go to the terminal in some backroom.

I had that a few times in Asia (think Vietnam). I quite appreciate the times it happened. Instead of taking my credit card then hoping for the best I specifically have to authorize the transaction. In Europe they usually just bring you a portable device.
It's exactly like @rasjani & @piva00 put it.

I was in a pretty much similar situation to you when I started to think about moving to Europe (or Canada, btw): some work experience; no formal degree; late twenties. I also felt there is some chicken and egg problem, though the solution is simple: just send your CV to interesting companies, asking if they are offering relocation from outside EU. Many large companies like Spotify, Klarna offer relocation, as well as meny smaller companies.

As you have went through recruitment process (which in Sweden is quite humane) and accepted the offer, your employer would have applied on behalf of you for work visa (typically 2-years, which later could be extended unless you get a permanent right of residence after four years).

Disclaimer: I've spent 5 years working for public charter schools that worked in low-income school districts.

I'd encourage you to read this: https://mskellyenglish12.weebly.com/uploads/3/0/7/9/30792489...

This talks about the first major charter network that primarily worked to serve low-income students for whom the achievement gap was large. The idea behind many of these schools is that the standard model, for one reason or another, is not serving these students properly and that adjustments have to be made. Those can take the form of extended school days, double blocks of reading (core to all learning), a focus on wellbeing, and many more.

These particular networks are public and not-for-profit, but there are also charter schools that are for-profit as you mentioned. Generally speaking, "charter school" is an umbrella for any school that operates with a charter outside the standard public school, so it encompasses all sorts of models, but the KIPP-style school is one that has really taken off in the last 20 years in many low-income communities. There are also plenty of problems with KIPP and its brethren, but they have made progress in places many haven't.

Yep. Some comments:

1. Most of the MSFT open source stuff is either trash or completely unmaintained. Only a couple of high profile projects are maintained and they jam opt-out telemetry in if you like it or not (despite hundreds of comments requesting them to go away). Even Scott Hanselman getting involved in one of our tickets got it nowhere. Same strong arming and disregard for customers.

2. Shoehorning your tech on and blurring the lines between platforms is how you keep your tentacles growing. Who the hell wants powershell and SQL Server for Linux? We just want it to work properly on windows rather than having two problem domains.

3. MSFT's marketing and blogging machine is immense now on the level of May's "strong and stable" which is covering up for reduction in QA and enterprise support while prices are climbing and entire product lines are being burned (windows phone)

4. Fingers in ears. They don't listen to customers. The only way forward is tying you into a monthly sub for everything or forcing you to use their tools or platform.

Same turd, different coloured glitter.
So it essentially boils down to "do you blindly trust WhatsApp to do what they promise...and to do it without technical errors which would compromise this?" Now, is there a way to somehow verify that claim, or at least falsify it?

I didn’t dismiss its small advantages, I put them in context so it would be clear that they’re small.
CRISPR could potentially enable lab-grown meat, which would address this issue. Such meat would not have any of the potential ethical problems some people might have with the addition of not requiring the vast amount of tech to keep a normal animal healthy until it gets to the slaughterhouse (antibiotics for one)
next they will want to track who you meet with, how much time you spend with them

Who you meet with, and to some extent how long you spend with them, can be derived from analysing the tracking data of individuals e.g. knowing that three separate people are in the same coffeeshop together on several separate occasions at different times leads to the conclusion that they're likely to know each other.

This is the pernicious thing about tracking people; data about individuals builds to become information about groups.
> The downside of learning to cook primarily through recipes, then, is that these small eurekas—which, once hit upon, are instantly applicable to nearly any other dish one prepares—are most often arrived at via triangulation. It’s like trying to learn a language only by copying down others’ sentences, instead of learning the grammar and vocabulary needed to put to paper lines of one’s own.

So, exactly like how people learn the language they speak best -- their native one...
I just pointed out that this is a very basic code. It's definitely not something I would use in any real life scenario(see other posts itt). And if you want to learn about NN you'd be better off googling something like 'backpropagation example' as this project does is virtually not documented. I personally don't find it useful and it takes up the space that can be filled with more interesting content. How is that 'shitposting'?
Jenkins has existed for a long time.

It has plugins for many things, and you can just run shell scripts when those don't work for you.

The Job DSL plugin is good for putting everything in code and generating jobs programatically.

There are a few other CI tools, GitLab itself you mention has been a full featured CI solution for quite a while and you can host it yourself.
The EU can (and in fact does) mandate that you comply with the GDPR. It cannot, however, enforce compliance since there is limited legal leverage. The Australian government is unlikely to help the EU to bring a case unless there'd be a treaty or an agreement (Safe Haven laws in the US for example). They could theoretically go via your revenue stream and seize your European customers payments or hold you or any officer of your company liable if you ever set foot on European soil or hold any assets that your company has in or moves via Europe. That's all very unlikely to happen over minor infractions, but some business folks already had their private jets impounded for outstanding payments as for example the Thai Prince learned the hard way: http://www.airliners.de/kronprinzen-boeing-in-muenchen-besch... (sorry, german only, but google translate should correctly translate the gist of the story)

All of this is nothing new, it's been working like that for centuries, back when business correspondence was still on old-fashioned paper.
> Who is going to use a gigebyte sized source file?

I used to mess around with the ROSE C++ source-to-source transformation framework (http://rosecompiler.org/). One of the files in there (defining the AST structure for representing C++ programs) was about 100,000 lines of autogenerated code. It wasn't heavily templated, I think, but it did pull in a bunch of standard C++ headers. I could imagine the whole preprocessed thing approaching a gigabyte.

>...society needs to focus on the school system before kids reach college.

I don't think schools are the problem, I think it's people. Parents today are either overworked, poor, stressed, unhappy or depressed, single, sick, or a combination of the these and then some.

I talked with a guy just this past week who works at a school for Native American kids. The primary job of these teachers is to make the kids feel safe. Their primary job. Not to teach useful skills, but safety. This is an a major metropolitan area, not on a reservation.

During one class, a teacher asked if anyone had died from or suffered gun violence, every hand went up. These are elementary school kids.

Tell me what difference it makes if the teachers make more money if the kids are all on the edge of committing suicide or at least have no hope for the future. Maybe in places where the kids are fine, teachers can strike and ask for more money.

I have a kid going into teaching, and one of my best friends did teaching. I taught at a local college, and when half the students don't turn in any work at all, it's not a teaching problem.

I'm not sure this is going to be the good kind of "interesting". Assuming you get the Tier 5 visa you'll be OK while it's valid, but the anti-immigrant rhetoric and proceduralism is pretty high so if anything goes wrong you'll hit the unsympathetic part of the immigration system.

Plus the country hasn't decided if it wants to collapse into chaos in March 2019.

(A consideration for you whereever you go: what happens if you meet someone and want to have a relationship with them that outlasts your visa?)

Pretty funny to see an article like this! For a course that I followed I needed to create a paper about the Internet. I chose the topic of RSS and what has let to its so called "death". What I found is that people used RSS but where not aware of it. Then Facebook became big and that became a hugh source of news for many. Now with the exodus happening at Facebook it makes sense that RSS is becoming popular again. Still, this is only the case for tech-savy users and I don't expect that movement to progress into the mainstream.
I wish we could go back to the old protocols like RSS, email and SMS. They were open and you could use any client you like and they never had problems with walled gardens. Sometime you have to lose your freedom to really value it like RMS said.
> You've ended up sounding a bit like Ira Baxter

Haha, I was thinking about him too. He does have a point, though, that on 2018 machines we might be able to afford parsing technology a bit more expensive than the 1970s approaches commonly used today.
When I look at our development, devops and operations people, the likely hood of making stupid mistakes seems to be correlated to skill-level rather than what title the person has. The developers who work part time with operations seems to cause less problems than pure operations-people, maybe because they only do it part time and therefore are a bit more careful.

But I'm sure you can enlighten me with some actual research-based facts?
What stops NYC to do what any other city in the world does and just run a replacement bus line for the lines under maintenance? Even more if it's during the night, run a replacement bus close to the same stops as the stations and shut down the line.

DWARF FAQ – Dwarf Wiki
That's actually not quite true. You can certainly build a new road that will lighten up traffic.

Traffic engineering is a rather serious and complicated science, the demand on a road can fluctuate based on hundred of factors such as the time of year, weather condition, urban development, population size and density, time of day, weekday, the kind of radio everyone is listening to, tailgating fractions, etc etc etc.

Building a road requires some serious thought into how to build it so that not everyone jumps on the new road while also not preventing anyone from using it. For all conditions.

You know what's the down side (Good part)? The shortened URL is longer than the original one. LOL.
Hi, thanks for the question! Of course you can do that. Our offer is for people who want to get started fast without losing focus. Maintaining a database is a standard task that you could do yourself. But getting it right might consume some time, you probably want to invest in your application. You need to consider backups, possibly a failover solution, monitoring and a scaling strategy. If maintaining a database is the core of your business, go ahead. If you want to get started fast, maybe you give nukapi a shot.
As I mentioned in another comment: what stops NYC from running replacement busses while one of the lines is under maintenance during the night? A bunch of cities do that, for example Berlin, I don't see what stops NYC from doing the same...
Replacement busses as other normal major cities around the world?

If you are in danger of self-harm, it is already too late for Zoloft.
This attack, "BranchScope", seems largely unrelated to Spectre - it's "just" another side-channel attack, allowing an attacker to learn which branches were taken by a victim process. BranchScope has a similar impact, and seems less convenient and slower, than pre-existing attacks that poke at the CPU cache. (Spectre 2 is scarier, because it allows the attacker to learn more-or-less anything accessible to the victim process.)

Which isn't to say that this is bad work, nor even that the authors are over-hyping it (in fact, the paper mentions Spectre... very early in the introduction only.) But this article makes it easy to over-estimate the impact.

As always, crypto code (in particular) must be constant-time (constant-everything) to avoid key recovery via such attacks. But again, that isn't new - cache-based attacks have broken lots of non-constant-time crypto code.
