We may get there eventually, but that's just the way things were done here when I started. Unfortunately we have one of those environments where "devops" is basically a separate department, and are treated more like sysadmins than a core part of the development team. So the culture leads to a mindset of "DevOps does the automation stuff".
This is what I was getting at. The article mentions escaping a planet's gravity, not orbiting it.
But if one millionaire will pay (rent or mortage) more for a mansion on a hill than all the potential poor occupants of entire apartment building on that hill could pay, then the developers will build just that mansion, even freed from NIMBY constraints.

If so, then yes, but how many millionaires are there trying to grab up huge tracts of urban land for their own personal residences?

And that's not even taking into account way that the most developers are going to have an incentive to keep rents overall high and so have an incentive keep the housing markets tight.

They have that incentive collectively, but when rents are high, an individual developer's incentive is to build more apartments to rent out. Sure, building them might reduce the per-unit rent, but that developer collects more rent in total.
I've used it for similar things in the past. Best practice on FDB would be to use snapshot reads on the counters and the add atomic mutation operation so you never have conflicts.

I am not sure what your goals are but I would suggest first skimming through the documents on https://www.parallella.org/board/ . e.g. within the first few pages of "Parallella Reference Manual" there is a picture that shows all the parts which might have alleviated the "ARM A9" vs RISC confusion.
The best I can tell, the part of the article you've quoted is a reference to Finland's welfare policy in general, not this experiment. Note that it follows "a reflection of public discomfort with the idea of dispensing government largess free of requirements that its recipients seek work". Just bad writing, I think. But I can't find any other sources that back up the idea that they're changing this project mid flight, which would be a really bizarre thing to do, since it would completely invalidate any possible results.
For me, using the console gives me better understanding of all customizable options in single glance, rather than reading the docs.

Once a product works in dev, I use terraform to automate production deployments.
You do realize that multiple native groups obtained their land through war and what at times could be called extermination?

The Comanche are but one example. There are very few groups in history that ended up where they were peacefully. That's unfortunate, but depicting the European settlers as land-hungry thieving murderers should take into account that's what everyone did.

Here's an account of the Fort Parker massacre, which wasn't uncommon on the frontier:

Benjamin Parker was killed, and before the fort's gates could be closed, the raiders rushed inside. Silas Parker, who was outside with his brother, was killed before he was able to get back inside the gate. Samuel Frost and his son Robert were killed inside the gate, as they attempted to flee. John Parker's genitals were cut off and he was then scalped. His wife came out of the woods when she saw his torture and was captured.[5] Lucy Parker and her youngest two children were initially captured but were rescued by Luther Plummer as he ran up to the fort from the fields. Her two oldest children, however, along with Luther's wife (Rachel) and son, and Elizabeth Kellogg were successfully kidnapped.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Parker_massacre

Did those settlers deserve that? You can argue it, but this is a complex topic. Maybe some of those militias existed for good reasons, like if they didn't, people would get murdered by raiding parties, as they have in every locale in history.

If they were reading all of my communications, they probably wouldn't have hired me.
I saw a few scientists on a thread in reddit point out that those numbers are misleading, as the way they collected the data was suspect and it was driven by amateurs. I didn't verify but quite a few chimed in that it wasn't a great study...
If I understand correctly the main energy transfer mechanism to the heat shield is thermal radiation, not conduction or kinetic effects. The plasma is separated from the vehicle by a boundary layer. So it doesn’t help that the really hot stuff isn’t directly touching the heat shield.
I don't have any problem with the math, just the anecdotal reality of the situation.

When I started looking for another job in my local area about three months ago, I wanted to contract thinking I could make more money. I'm covered for benefits under my wife so I didn't factor that in.

My "minimum salary" was $135K a year. As a W2 contractor (meaning the employment agency pays the employers half of Medicare and Social Security), and considering a 1760 hour work year:

2080 hours a year

-80 hours federal holidays

- 120 hours paid time off

- 120 hours between gigs

1760 hours would be about $77 hour as W2 or around $84 hour Corp to Corp.

Yes companies are paying at least $90-$100 an hour to recruiting firms but once they take their cut, it's hard to net the amount I wanted. If I don't go through a recruiting firm, I'm left hustling for gigs, competing with people who will work for a lot cheaper and I would have a lot more down time.

On the other hand, going through the same recruiters, it was relatively easy to get a full time job with benefits and the hiring company paid the recruiter 20%.

Besides, most companies aren't going to hire someone as a contractor who doesn't check all of the boxes. A company will allow an FTE to learn on the job if they don't meet 109^ of the requirements.

I'll see what things look like in a two or three years and stick my toes back in the water.

I don't think we have to wait any longer to say that Libya has been an unalloyed disaster. It hasn't cost the USA as much as e.g. Iraq. However, ours is not the relevant point of view on this, and our actions in Libya certainly have taken the cake in terms of a functioning, slowly-liberalizing authoritarian government (i.e., "a government") ruling in mostly peaceful fashion over mostly-content adequately-fed-and-doctored people being replaced with... utter omnicidal Mad-Max bedlam. Reporters don't go there anymore, so we have to infer how bad it is, from how many people are attempting to swim to Italy. We did this for no reason at all. The silly pretexts parroted at the time were flimsier than Saddam's putative WMDs.
That was a good read. Thanks
I got a new laptop for work about 2 months ago and opted for the 2015 model MBP (mostly due to “legacy” external devices and not wanting to spend a bunch of money on dongles).

After all of these reviews coming out I’m really happy that I did.
My question was for people already living in SF who don't want to ride down the peninsula. The choices are limited for bigco rsu grants.

Google doesn't have engineers working full time in the SF office. They highly discourage it. The SF based engineers have a stigma that they're lesser than the MTV counterparts.

FB doesn't have an SF office. Dropbox wasn't liquid until this year. To say people wasted time or got screwed 4 years ago by not going to work for bigco isn't fair.
> Keys stopping to work is one thing, but for me the Touch Bar and the screwed arrow keys are similarly disappointing. Apple should've seen this coming. What were they thinking?

It appears they weren't thinking.

The Touch Bar is a huge mystery to me and a colossal nuisance, who wants to look down at their fingers to type? Did we not spend our earliest computing years mastering touch typing specifically for the efficiency of NOT having to look down at your hands when typing? Growing up, our computer lab teacher would place a box over your hands to force you to memorize the key locations to drive home the point, and once memorization occurred it really clicked and WPM and general computing efficiency skyrocketed for everyone. So then comes the Touch Bar to solve no problem but instead introduce new problems, where your hands and fingers literally block the Touch Bar visibility from any normal usage viewing angle, meaning you have to move your hands away from the keyboard, then awkwardly poke around imprecisely with a single floating finger on a little tiny screen to hit "escape" or the "X" button to find the escape key or the brightness and audio output adjustments and other function keys. Did nobody at Apple test it out? Or even think it through? Where is their person to say "no" to what are clearly bad ideas?

If you plan to use capslock for anything else (some people do actually use it as caps-lock, and I have gotten used to it as an alternate Ctrl for Emacs use) it's definitely more of a pain.

I've yet to encounter a single good use for the touchbar, even the volume control is annoying to use. Especially since it's essentially impossible to hit without looking since there's no 'key feel', and I keep finding myself triggering touchbar actions because my fingers slightly overshoot the number or backspace key on occasion.

It'd be great as an optional addition above the F-keys, or even a little further away since it requires a concerted effort to use anyway.

Even the fact that the pretend 'escape' key doesn't properly operate all the way to the end of the bar (such that it might align with the keys below it) suggests it was far more about aesthetics or some weird notion of 'design' than actual usability.

Or I'm just not the right sort of Pro.
> Something else in those foods you're sensitive to --- most likely salt! --- not MSG.

Can you point to studies which confirm salt as the cause of these symptoms that MSG is unfairly blamed for?

I can eat consume copious amounts of salt without any ill effects, like finishing huge bowls of soup to the last drop.

I exercise a lot so I use salt liberally, and add it to water. If I don't supplement the salt intake, I start getting muscle cramps and a kind of lethargic feeling, particularly in hot weather.

I did an experiment, though, about 8 months ago: I started drinking bouillon. I prepared about a mug of hot water with a teaspoon of the soup stock. On one mug per day, I was okay. When I went up to three, the headaches and nausea showed up. I felt like crap, so I cut it short.

There is salt in that stuff, but that can't be it.
I share your experience. Netbeans mostly works out of the box and it seems much easier to configure.
I'm struggling a bit on what my next laptop will be. Apple owner since I don't know when, currently on a late 2013 MBP. It's still going but I suspect it doesn't have a vast amount of life left. Every few months I lose another pixel.

I certainly wouldn't upgrade to the current range so they're going to have to do something special in the next 12-18 months or I'll be taking an Ubuntu desktop crash course and getting a Lenovo or similar.
Imagine one of those games where you put a nickel in and watch it circle around a slope until it falls into a hole (for charity!). What's happening is the nickel's forward momentum being lost, resulting in succumbing to the gravity well.

Launching a rocket to orbit is like starting from the bottom of the well, and spinning around the slope really fast until the nickel is returned to your hand.
The amount of fuel (delta-v specifically) to reach orbit from a given altitude is always less than the amount of fuel needed to escape the planet's gravity.
That's right: "bouillon" isn't "MSG".

Some eight months ago, I reproduced these effects in myself by drinking a hot water solution of something called "Better Than Bouillon". I put about a teaspoon into a mug of hot water. On one mug per day, I was okay, but if I drank three per day, I got the headaches.

The listed ingredients of this paste are: roasted beef with concentrated beef stock, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, sugar, corn syrup solids, flavour (dried onion and garlic, spice extracts), dried whey (milk), potato flour, caramel, corn oil, xanthan gum.

Must be the dried onion? :)

I've consumed beef, salt, corn syrup, onion, garlic, spices, whey powder, caramel, corn oil in the past in much larger amounts. Xanthan gum is just a thickener; I've used it! No problems. The only thing that stands out there is the "hydrolyzed soy protein".

How could that be linked to you? Suppose my DNA is on the person I brushed on the street today. How would a government agent be able to prove that whatever DNA they extract from his coat sleeve is mine? In order to do so, they would have to have a sample of my own DNA. It is unlikely a judge would sign a warrant for my DNA, given that I am not even suspected of any crime.

You argue that a judge could issue a warrant on an innocent person. However, warrants are only issued if there is enough plausibility that a person could be guilty of a crime. At the point the warrant is issued, the government can now force you to give your DNA. But that could happen right now.

Ultimately, in this case, the FBI barely exercised any of their authority. They didn't do any backroom dealings or use 'secret' laws. They just signed up to a genealogy website where people freely share their DNA information with the DNA sample voluntarily given to them by a rapist and murderer. The rapist has no right to any kind of privacy after giving his DNA away. Moreover, no one has any right to prevent a person who shares their genetic information from not disclosing it.

This has been key for me. My spouse and I both work, and we have 3 kids. Balancing both jobs and making sure our kids know they are a priority for us is tough - but going all in for our family when we have vacation, free weekends, etc has let us go the extra mile at work when we have too.
Your "unelected bureaucrats" are elected by popular vote every 5 years in the elections for the European Parliament. The other "unelected bureaucrats" in the council are elected by the governments that were elected in each country's elections. That's a lot of electing for an "unelected" bunch of people. Please go back to your hole.
Ask yourself why it terrifies you though. Is it really the being alone that bothers you, or just the fear of judgement from society and your peers for being alone?

If it is the former, you can work at it if you really want it. If it is the latter, then realize that you don't have to put that pressure on yourself, even if it sometimes feels like it. On the whole, people judge others by the metrics they're winning at. Computer nerds look down on others because they don't know as much about computers, for instance. It's just a silly thing the human mind does. you can simply choose to not care, because you have other priorities in life.
As long as it's covered, I'd hope everyone is bringing them in for servicing and repair as often as necessary, since that seems like the only way they'll take any action, if it costs them enough in support and refurb costs.

Public outcry is nice, but unless it's actually stopping people buying them, I'm not sure it helps.
You are dramatically characterizing the case. The Feds are the plaintiffs in this case, not Microsoft. The man isn't going to prison for just distributing disks, he's going to jail for fraudulently claiming that his disks were authentic and going so far as to get the original disk design printed on his fake disks. The government originally claimed that the copyright violations on these disks were valued at several hundred dollars per disk, but Microsoft had that value reduced to about $25 per disk, so Microsoft actually helped to reduce his punishment.
This is overly simplistic and ranty. Sure, the OOP community got high on its own supply for a decade or two and is now getting some well-deserved criticism, but that doesn't make OOP the devil and it certainly doesn't make all of its claimed virtues null and void (no pun intended).

The "Banana Monkey Jungle" problem applies to any paradigm that involves defining things in terms of other things, including functions that call other functions. You avoid it by writing code that's well-decoupled, no matter what paradigm you're using.

The diamond problem is well-documented and has been solved or worked around by numerous variations on inheritance (referring to methods by their class explicitly, composition, etc.). It's a real problem with Java's "pure" inheritance, but the author doesn't really add anything new to that discussion.

The fragile base class problem is mostly a problem of poor interface definition (read: documentation). Assumptions were made because there was ambiguity, and then those assumptions went from true to not true.

"Object Oriented languages don’t make Contain and Delegate easy to do. They were designed to make Inheritance easy."
It's clear this author has spent most of his time in Java. It's true that vanilla Java makes it difficult/annoying to implement delegation, but C# can do it just fine, as can TypeScript and (I believe) C++.

The Hierarchy Problem, once again, is solved by composition.

The author naively suggests that encapsulation is bad, but what he really means is that hiding values behind their functions is bad (debatable, but not crazy). Encapsulation is an essential building block of writing any nontrivial amount of code. Functions themselves are encapsulation. Libraries are encapsulation.

Finally, in the Polymorphism section, he actually bothers to distinguish the principle from how it's been traditionally applied inside OOP, unlike throughout the rest of the article.

OOP is flawed. OOP as passed down by the Java priests from On High circa 1995 was extremely flawed. But I'm weary of reading people's rants about it, especially when they can't distinguish ideas like encapsulation and polymorphism from OOP, and can't distinguish OOP from Java 1.0. Essays like this throw the baby out with the bathwater. These days some of OOP's critics are just as zealous as its proponents were in the 00s.

Actually this conference was largely from a previous generation of scientific thinkers. According to their Wikipedia bios, Niels Bohr was the only one of those 10 names involved in the Manhattan Project. Einstein wrote a letter alerting President Roosevelt to the possibility of a German atomic bomb which may have helped inspire the project. Heisenberg was also involved in the war effort but "knew little of the Manhattan Project, so, if he were captured, he would have little intelligence value to the Germans".

Shockingly, their terrible business model allowed them to grow quickly as long as they could lose prodigious amounts of money. They're facing competition now from the theater chains (Cinemark, who runs my nearest theater, has a discounted movie pass club that's not nearly as good a deal but is actually a viable business) and it looks like they can no longer afford to lose as much money. They're doomed.
Escape velocity is actually only necessary for launching ballistic objects such that they will never return to the surface of the planet over an infinite amount of time (assuming no other interactions occur). It's not necessary when you have a method of providing continual propulsion and acceleration. Speed is mostly irrelevant if you can provide propulsion indefinitely. Escape velocity is an important concept because, realistically, you can't actually do that or it's extremely cost inefficient to attempt to do so.

EVGA was annoying. They called me at 10 am to confirm details, put me on a three way call with my bank and I thought that was it. For whatever reason they tried to call me again the following day but I couldn't answer, when I called them back they told me they cancelled my order. They said my billing details didn't match (simply not true, I've used that address countless time and checked my order confirmation), and that my phone area code didn't match where I lived (no shit, people move...). I decided to just never buy from them again, since there are plenty of other GPU manufacturers.
