I've started describing Brexit as "anti-globalisation riots for the over-50s". Instead of throwing a park bench through the window of a Starbucks they're going for something much more disruptive.
But you're agreeing with the parent, unless you're still arguing that this perception stems from Instagram, rather than the other way around?
Good. The point of GDPR was to hold companies more accountable for the data they hold. I'm glad that it's achieving what it set out to do.

Hopefully this will make companies think of data as a liability as well as an asset.

Some anecdata based on my travels in the subcontinent in the past few years:

1. While younger consumers know about Apple (and know that it is a "superior" brand), the native Apple ecosystem has little meaning for Indian consumers. They are not on iTunes or iMessages or FaceTime. They don't have a cultural relationship with a Mac (or an iPod).

2. Google/Android got there first (2008). Xiaomi, Samsung have benefited from it.

3. The network (and its accompanying data plan) is the differentiator, not the hardware. Look how Reliance Jio exploded.

4. The wealthy/upwardly mobile love their iPhones.

5. There's a HUGE grey market for phones in India. There's also a big repair market. Both these factors probably affect new handset sales?
> Trunk-based development. ... is beneficial in part because it avoids the painful merges that often occur when it is time to reconcile long-lived branches. Development on branches is unusual and not well supported at Google, though branches are typically used for releases.

This sounds like the SVN model to me where branches are cumbersome and therefore they are very rare. After getting used to the Git branching model where branches are free and merges are painless, it would be very hard to go back to the old development model without branches.

> Leaving aside the plain lack of ability from those running the show, as written this is a mandate for the "Norway option" - EEA and free movement, ECJ etc, but not actually in the EU

I'm pretty sure opposition to free movement was a key underpinning of Brexit support, so I don't think the Brexit vote can be seen as a mandate for the “Norway option”.

Also, not sure that that's an option that would actually be in the table for Britain; from the European side, it makes a lot of sense to support that as an option on the way (deeper) to into the European system, but not on the way out.
That assumes someone, at some point, takes a path other than the one of least resistance and faces down the Rees-Moggs. Given the concessions to the whitepaper produced last month, and the track-record of the government since 2015 or before, that doesn't seem at all likely. If that doesn't happen then we'll be leaving the EU automatically next March.

Life will of course go on. The sun will still shine. But the idea that things will stay more or less the same in that case are mistaken.

If they'd gone for a second referendum the UK could have negotiated from a position of relative strength ("guys, we have to offer them something, they voted to leave").

The government might have come out the other side looking relatively good, like Mrs Thatcher's after renegotiating the rebate. It certainly wouldn't have been worse than this farce.
Personally, I believe it really depends on the nature of the city / town.

I grew up ~60 miles down the coast from Charleston, on Hilton Head Island. Totally different vibe, beautiful, natural island. The Town of actually made real efforts to manage development and prevent developers from doing the normal land-grab over-development.

I've lived in Charleston for 7+ years and, despite a temporary moratorium, the City of is letting developers raze the city to build more and more hotels with no damned parking. Very little is done to manage or plan development. It's a whole different vibe, and I'm actually going to be leaving Charleston with no intent to return here in the coming months.

My experience in Charleston has really made me appreciate the island I grew up on. Not all tourist towns are built alike.
Nah, not manual at all.

I just call up RefTeX by hitting ctrl-x + (or "C-x +" in emacs parlance). This calls up a list of all possible references and a fuzzy search box which lets me narrow it down. When I've found my reference I have ten options, including:

f1: Open associated pdf, url or doi

f3: Insert the citation into my thesis and then be asked for what kind of note I want to add (footnote? Title? author name? Year? Just a bibliography entry?), then any text to add before the reference (eg, "This argument has been made by,"), then after (p. 67). -- This answeres your question

f7: Attach pdf to email

f9: Show notes, if there's an .org file of the same name.

f10: Add pdf to library

If RefTeX can't find my query, not only does it ask if I want to add a new one, it asks whether to search various databases for it including arXiv, DBLP (computer science bibliography), Google Scholar, Bodleian Library, HAL, Library of Congress, British Library and others.

Adding entries to the database is as simple as editing a plain text file, and BibTeX provides quick shortcuts for all the different kinds of entries, checks them for you and provides a sane and customizable key.

Everything is completely integrated - my writing, my pdf library, my org notes, my bibliography database, my email as well as my thesaurus (wordnut), my pdf reader (pdf-tools) and my git repo (magit). It's just brilliant. All together it makes emacs the ultimate writers tool, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm no fan of May and this is probably giving her too much credit (and oversimplifying) but is it possible she's nailing this?

Her "Brexit means brexit" and "No deal is better than a bad deal" rhetoric has kept the hardline Brexiteer tories from throwing her overboard. But maybe after a 'long, hard fight' she gives a theatrical sigh and accepts the Norway deal. Everyone gives a resigned shrug and we don't have country-wide riots.

I worried that the oral history I'd always gotten about Sea Island was off. I should have checked into that. Are my memories of riding bikes to it as a kid off base?

You're right developers are destroying trees. I guess what I was alluding to was the historical restrictions on building sizes and things like that.
That's honestly my biggest gripe with pipenv: which command is best for a CI run?

My current magic is:

pipenv sync $(pipenv --venv > /dev/null || echo '--python 3.6') --dev

The reason is that (magically) adding --python 3.6 will always create a new virtual environment, and I'd rather not do that if the cache is up to date, but running sync by itself won't.

And I think I also want to run `install --deploy`, to check if my Pipfile / lock are in sync or broken.

None of them are huge gripes, more the frustration that it almost works out of the box, but it always seems no one writing these tools ever uses them in prod...
Of course those changes helped them. It has always been this way and will always be. There is little to no relation to social medias. A job interview is a date with an employer. You are supposed to look your best, your 110%. You can come dressed as a slob the next month, but by then people will know that you can and are able to dress correctly if the need rise (meeting with an important client).

Makeup hides your unhealthy lifestyles. Baggy eyes from working all night look the same as baggy eyes from staying out in bars or gaming all night. It can also hides defects such as acne and bad skin tone that make you look younger or make give out the perception that you are or sick. Remember that they are hiring someone to be part of a team, so you are expected to look the part.

As for the script you had them learn and read... I'm confused... Did those people improvise their last interview on the spot? You should always be ready during an interview. You should have been rehearsing your speech so that you are able to deliver it in an eloquent way. Every answers to the typical interview questions should be aced. Programming is a team effort and communication is the key. Nobody wants to hire that loner who is unable to talk about himself for 10 minutes because how would this person be able to vulgarize a problem to the client or other department?

This is something that really irks me with the programming community. People tend to think that because we are geeky and outcasts we should get hired without putting any social effort. Social skills are just like any regular skills. You need to read books, follow tutorials and train them. Otherwise you look like a skilless individual and nobody wants to hire that.
Why "should" the Brexit referendum get the special privilege of a "do-over?" I have no idea how the law works over there but surely that would set some sort of terrible precedent?

I have zero skin in that game but the idea that people can espouse the virtues of democracy one minute only to make endless excuses as to why the result of a wholly democratic vote is wrong, invalid, or otherwise "deserves" a do-over the next minute makes zero sense to me as an American.

Either you trust the will of the people or you don't.
I'd have to say because you're wrong-ish. Or at least off.

The left isn't comprised of people who would lose out from white nationalism. A lot of people on the left would benefit from white nationalism.

Because they're white. 72% of the people in the U.S. identify as white. There is literally no competition if it came down to sheer numbers. White nationalism would benefit most people in the U.S.

But it is wrong. Ethnic nationalism is wrong. The color of one's skin does not define one's character. Does not define one's ability. Does not define one's worth. Even a lot of people who are white recognize that simple fact.

The problem the left has is that the more extreme stop attacking white nationalism and just start attacking "white people". When privilege stops being descriptive and starts be pejorative. And it is used as a pejorative. Tell some group they have privilege and they will rail against it, telling you all the ways in which they are not privileged. But there are privileges to most situations. Some of those privileges aren't worth the situation. Some of those privileges don't make up for the disadvantages. But still, they exist. And some of those privileges are not the fault of the person receiving them. To bring up one, it is easier to get hired as a white male. That's not the fault of white males. That's the fault of people doing the hiring. It's been found to be a subconscious bias among more than white males. It's not just a matter of like hiring like. But you can't ask someone to not take a job. To give up their livelihood, their survival, to sacrifice themselves for someone else because their group has it better. We can't sacrifice the individual for the vague betterment of mankind. That's a whole other kind of monstrous.

But what's the answer? It's obviously complicated. We need to find ways to get underrepresented groups the opportunity to gain interest and skill in various fields. We need to find ways to make things like admission to jobs, colleges, home loans, apartment leases, etc more blind to irrelevant factors like race, sexuality, and gender. And we're trying. And that's what I feel liberalism is about-ish. Trying to make things more progressive, protecting society as a whole, but I'd rather not see it at the expense of individuals.

Sure, but that's not the issue right? These things have apparently been running for decades and are hugely popular in some areas. This article seems to have tried to drag up every single incident it could that involved them, even including random normal traffic collisions. But relative to length and frequency of usage, there weren't many incidents.

Put another way these things seem to be incredibly safe on average, but certainly when something goes wrong it's going to be make for good headlines because it's so awful. But beyond that, it seems like even when something does go wrong you certainly have good chances if you're a decent swimmer. Though perhaps this incident would be an exception, it looks like they were out in the water during a serious storm - which is completely idiotic in any sort of small water boat.

I had a ZX Spectrum at home so that made me one of the 'techie' kids in my school who could use the class BBC better than the teachers. It was my second experience with BASIC, and BBC BASIC was a little different to ZX Basic so I had to learn to adapt the syntax of my kiddie code.

It looks like tech.instacart.com is hosted on Medium. The redirect is part of the auth flow. If you have a Medium account, you would have logged in to medium.com, not tech.instacart.com. If you don't have a Medium account, Medium still will want to add first-party tracking information to your interaction with tech.instacart.com and all other Medium properties. So this client-side redirect flow enables them to capture that association.

This is presumably what the `gi=85c0588ca374` query parameter is in the follow-on redirect. I would guess that `gi` stands for "global identity" or something.

Based on the length of this article, I was hoping it would actually, you know, describe the method used to reverse T2D, but I didn't see any such description other than vague references to "nutrition." Frustrating.

>The first is the bigger screen size, which is important when the smartphone is the only Internet-connected device you own, which is often the case in India.

Annoying assertions by the author. Typical tech "journalism"
Probably depends on the things that get measured, how easy it is to fake/rort those metrics, and how resistent to corruption the system is.

To me it sounds like a case of "interesting in theory, but probably difficult to make work in practise" things. Corruption would undermine the whole thing, if that's not the actual behind-the-scenes intent from the start.

Intel is building out a exascale supercomputer for 2021 based on ... something. The architecture is under very tight wraps, so it's all up to speculation, which generally seems to lean towards GPGPU (a more traditional one than Xeon Phi at least) or some sort of FPGA.

So something is likely to come out to replace the Xeon Phis, we just don't know what it is yet.
I'm not sure why the scientists don't use VMs and simply save the virtual disk files? That would at the very least allow them to verify the settings at a later date.

The USA is much, much, much less dense than Europe.

Anyway, yes, there are no cross country passenger trains in many states, and even for the states that have them they exist as congressional pork, at this point.

It is much faster and cheaper to drive in the US (the train max speeds are slower than the highways), and slightly cheaper and vastly faster to fly.

Only in dense regions, like California and the northeast, are inter-urban trains a meaningful thing in the USA.

Freight trains, on the other hand, are a much bigger deal in the USA than in Europe.

There are some really great programmes in the UK that follow police and their interactions with the public. For someone who lives in the US, this can be eye opening compared to our process.

A few shows I’d recommend are:
999 What’s Your Emergency
24 Hours in Police Custody
The Met

I fully acknowledge the risk that these shows are positively edited to present police in the best light, but I get a sense the British police followed in these programmes have a much heavier focus on deescalation in their training than many of the police forces in the US.
