I have these dreams as well and several times have actually "solved" a problem in my sleep, woken up in the middle of the night, coded it and it worked.

Sometimes I feel like coding triggers some area of the brain that is slightly autistic or aspergers-like, and I perseverate on it. If I reach a breakthrough I feel better.

I learned to say this to myself - "if I am stuck in a loop, then remember I might need to break out of the loop" - but I mean that not in the programming sense entirely, more behavioral.

Noticing that my brain can actually "think inside the algorithm", even in my sleep, has numerous times caused me to wonder if our brains are capable of essentially "running code" and that maybe neural networks and the like may really be onto something. But that's a different tangent.

There's an online BS CS on Coursera. I can't really imagine how that works though because a BS typically isn't as specialized as an MS.

Fabulous story and inspiring bravery. Comet was huge, by the end of the war they'd got thousands of airmen out. Needless to say the Germans were particularly unpleasant to any they found helping the escape networks.
It'll help if you learn to network with alumni and pull together a good portfolio for you resume. Consider how balanced your resume looks today and what it's going to look like with only that MS CS program. As you go, investigate what companies are currently looking for and try to balance it with some practical skills that are related to what they are doing. You don't have to program the exact same language, but try to match at the conceptual level. Example: if they used Scala then your Clojure and Java experience is likely enough for them to take a bet on you assuming other fundamentals match up. Things like hackathons etc. might be a good start if you have real world experience today.

It's also good to look for any sort of volunteer position that'll help development of leadership skills. With a master's degree expectations will be that you can develop into a leadership role which doesn't necessarily mean management.
From the story, clearly it isn't. I've a friend who killed himself with a pistol. From the blood spatter around his house it was determined that he shot himself, survived and woke up, put a towel on his head, then shot himself again.

What is with all you people who used PowerShell for a grand total of 10 seconds, gave up because it wasn't bash, then go on to complain about completely false things?

PowerShell has aliases. It has shortened aliases for all the common commandlets. You can create your own aliases if you want.

PowerShell has tab completion on commandlets, arguments, flags, and variable names. FFS...

Every time I run into another one of you it gets increasingly harder to be polite about telling you how wrong you are.

Comparable questions are why use a library when you can just write the code yourself, or why use a high level language when you can write it in assembly. SQLite gives you a lot of power, having already solved a lot of the problems and with a lot more testing, that you then don't have to. The price you pay for that is using their API, which, in this case, is SQL. Using an ORM is a separate choice. You may choose differently than others on these decisions, but using SQLite is certainly a reasonable decision that many people find compelling.

It's also useful to point out that SQLite can have many reader processes. The single-process limit is only on writes.
IDM 6.31 Build 3 Crack and Serial Number Universal
I think the behaviour of cmd.exe is part of the problem here. When an interactive cmd.exe launches a console-subsystem app, it waits for the process to finish before showing the prompt again, but when it launches a GUI-subsystem app, cmd.exe writes the prompt again immediately, so even if the new process calls AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS) before it tries to write to the console, it will write over cmd.exe's prompt, which makes a poor user experience.

So, if someone wants to make a "dual-mode" app that works as a win32-subsystem app when launched from Explorer and a console-subsystem app when launched from a console, they have to choose between two bad options. They can make their app a console-subsystem app, which means a console will always briefly appear on screen when the app is started (no matter how quickly the app calls FreeConsole(),) or they can make their app a GUI-subsystem app (that opportunistically calls AttachConsole(),) which behaves sub-optimally in cmd.exe.

Maybe the solution is to add a flag (in the .manifest file?) that makes the console initially hidden for a console-subsystem app. That would prevent the brief appearance of a console window when launching a console-subsystem app from Explorer. Then there would be no need for pythonw.exe and python.exe could show the console window only after a message is printed.
That's fine when you don't need complex queries or your data is small. As complexity increases you will eventually end up with a buggy slow relational database.
Yep chainsaws are a very creative tool, as well as sculpture there's an amazing array of different notches and joins used for assembling log-built structures with little if any fastening hardware. And a well-tuned gang of climbers dropping a big tree, swinging from limb to limb with saws dangling from their waist, is a sight to behold.

I would put glasses, ear defenders, gloves and boots higher on that safety gear list, when cutting firewood, doing minor pruning and lopping etc.. Wear a helmet when doing anything bigger, although wood is very dense and you shouldn't expect a helmet to save you if a decent size limb comes your way. Technique is everything - learn from an expert before trying it yourself.

Chain sharpening is a mystical, ancient art, all the experts I talk to have a different view on the right technique, ranging from bench grinders to intricate jigs to simple "file and feel". I've tried them all and it basically comes down to experience. Just as important is the even wear of the bar itself, once its worn more on one side than the other the cuts bend like bananas and you can only cut so deep before the saw gets no purchase on the wood at all.

I think chainsaws are as pretty as IDEs - which maybe isn't saying much, but I love 'em both anyway...
If someone put a good fast raft replication engine in process in front of sqlite you'd have a pretty killer db for a lot of things.

Transactions. It's relatively easy to atomically edit random data in a file on disk, if you're willing to overwrite the entire file with your new version. But as soon as you need to edit files that are too big for that approach, the problem becomes exceptionally complicated.

Indexing any columns you want in one line of code is also very nice.
Going "back" and showing the old information is accurate. I'm not reloading the prior URL. I'm viewing the last page I looked at. In fact maybe I don't even have network access at the moment (on a subway). I can always opt in to reload the page if I want to see refreshed data.

I actually find Amazon to be pretty amazing at discovery, but it's dependent on the "Customers who bought this item also bought" section under a book I know I like or am interested in.

I don't go to Amazon books just to start browsing aimlessly, but if I am yearning for a book in the same vein as another book I liked, I'll just search that book and look through the books suggested below. It does keep my discovery narrow, but that consequently keeps my reading wish list small and wieldy.
Totally as an aside, but for what it’s worth, 20 years ago when I did my degree I gave myself a rule that I would do 1 extracurricular activity every year that I could talk to for 5 minutes in a job interview.

I theorised that over the course of 4 years (5 as it turned out) would give me 20 minutes of talking time.

It worked. Even with average scores (and a handful of fails) I got a well paying job at a top company. Even back in the late 90’s many hiring managers valued experience and personality equally to academic transcripts.

The extracurricular activities were:
* organised LAN gaming days for 100 people to teach myself networking, event management, marketing etc. Quake was the game by the way :)
* half a day a week work experience for a year at a relevant employer
* involvement in a paid capacity at the student association, taking on leadership roles
* something else I cannot remember now!

Best wishes for your studies!

Before.i had kids, a friend of mind told me “there will never be a convenient time to have kids, so have them whenever you want”. He was so right.
Yeah, those are nice features, but I was mainly talking about when you check the app or buy the tickets ahead and it is sold out or doesn't have ideal reserved seating left, from there if you want to see it now you have to pay full price without the movie benefit at another chain. This can happen especially on opening nights. We always book our tickets online ahead of time and only go to reserved seating theaters without any service currently, reserved seating is a must for a good experience.

For instance here in AZ we have AMC, Harkins, Regal and Alamo Drafthouses that have common theaters we go to. I'd prefer a service that they all are a part of, but it is probably just a dream, maybe a few can team up on it at least.

I think a third party independent service focuses on the customer more and it seems like it would benefit gaining more customers to theater chains that aren't already locked in customers.

The difference between red and green chile is whether it has been dried, but nobody here calls it sauce (even though it almost always is). Hatch is a town that produces it, but they're technically Anaheim peppers. However, if you walk into any restaurant in New Mexico and say "I'd like the Hatch chili sauce on the side" you're going to get a raised eyebrow. The state question is "red or green?"

Locking Applications with Encfs on Linux and MacOs
From my experience I agree. Physical, legal and network controls often get neglected.
Full disclosure: I am a data scientist not a production-grade SWE.. in any case that sounds about right. I would probably just leave the weights loaded in memory which might be lower latency than querying a db every time you want the score. The DB is mainly there to store the json requests (or however you're receiving them) as well as the predictions for future use.

Another use case for the db would be if someone sends you data to score and you have to append other external data tables to that data, in which case you could use the db to append the data.
Oh of course! Thank you, that makes a lot more sense.

I'm not sure about the others but I'm pretty positive that Toys R Us was killed by a standard vulture capitalist business model.

Arrange a bunch of financing, purchase a company, saddle that company with the payments for the debt that you used to acquire it, charge that company large management fees and take out any profits that you can. Eventually when the massive debt load and payments are too much for the now under capitalized business see if you can sell the remains to someone else who thinks they might be able to get a little more meat off those bones.
Maybe. It would get rid of some issues but might make people complacent about other issues.

Even then it probably wouldn't be BCD. Too inefficient. The digit-packing versions of IEEE decimals use 10 bits each for blocks of 3 digits. 99.7% efficiency rather than 83% efficiency.
In 1998, wouldn't a well done POST have issued a 3xx redirect? in which case, going ba k would bring you back to the form or originating page, right through the POST. In which case, the browser may still show the now-deleted image until the user explicitly decides to refresh the page. IIRC the old Opera browser was good about this, to the point of remembering dynamic DOM content as it was.
The argument we are making is that MoviePass's business model WAS sustainable, it's just that the model was predicated on the very risky proposition that they'd be able to get sweet deals with movie theaters, which didn't happen. Tons of people felt that their model was extremely unlikely to come to fruition, so they didn't invest.

We don't know the full story of what was said, and it is possible the defendants lied about factual content, but right now it just sounds like sour grapes.
The tricky part of this approach is error handling. What if a system call fails in between fork and exec, or exec itself?

It looks like libuv creates a pipe for every new process, and uses that to send errno back on any failing system call. This has the disadvantage that you only get the error code, and none of the context. You get ENOENT, but you don't know which path was invalid.

Confused, where does 2^21 code points come from and how is that related to the UTF-16 vs. UTF-8 distinction? Can't both of them encode all Unicode code points? Or are you thinking of code units perhaps, and UCS-2? Although even there I'm confused where the 2^21 came from.

Certain parts of the BSD community keeps leaking stuff early, either by doing commits in public, or by talking about stuff in advance, before all the bits are in place to protect systems. Hell, they already leaked one this year, forcing a huge scramble all round to get patched out of the door. It has been a persistent issue for years. Why on earth would they still expect to be trusted?

It may well be just one or two people doing it, but their actions are screwing things up for an entire set of operating systems.

It's especially critical for coordination to happen on vulnerabilities like this one, where it requires a combination of microcode and kernel patches to be done in sync. If one distribution leaks early, all are put at nearly immediate significant risk.
There's also a "cluster of restaurants" aspect to this kind of thing. If you have multiple restaurants or coffee shops within the same area when people are interested in going out for food or coffee they'll go to that area. If there are multiple choices available when they arrive it may be up in the air which one they go to.

Yes. With other operational expenses taken into account, maybe NF can produce 1000 episodes a year. That is a huge figure by any margin.
Indeed, and I’ve never been to an Alamo Drafthouse, but I’m fairly sure they have nothing that can even touch my nearest AMC which has a true IMAX screen and a Dolby Cinema screen.
The hospitals aren't being closed due to some guilt over them bearing too many similarities to the prison-industrial complex. They're being closed to save money, and the patients are thrown out on the street. Quite the opposite direction of paying more doctors to help these people.

Training and awareness, asset management, third party management, policies and procedures, legal (you should have lawyers looking over HIPAA/PCI/GDPR stuff, not a programmer), identity management, incident response, recovery & business continuity, communications plans, PR...

I could keep going. All of these things could have some software engineering component, such as with identity management: there is a component there that deals with (for example) writing code to integrate your web app with multi-factor authentication, but identity management also encompasses things like writing good access control policies, managing the legal requirements for access, training people on how to use that multi-factor auth, etc.

Engineering skills are of course of great use if you are talking about the security of a specific codebase or doing penetration testing or doing the nitty-gritty customization of a security application, but "cybersecurity" is much more than that.
not sure what have suicide rates to do with guns, they are based on various socioeconomic factors so if you want honestly compare us with something you should find country with similar living standards, environment etc which doesn't have easily accessible guns

but you are right banning access to guns doesn't mean that 100% of those people won't commit suicide, but I guess it could shave at least few percentage points from suicides by gun and most importantly gun accidents would be drastically reduced, you don't see children accidentally killing/hurting someone daily in Europe

if you want serious comparison i am aware of only one country with similar cultural background - Australia, proving limiting gun access can reduce crime, accidents etc
I have been using it forever (over 10 years) to organize financial data and do taxes. While I should credit Python because these are Python programs after all, it is really Leo that enables me to easily keep data organized. Queries can be ran by easily running Python scripts inside of Leo with results directed to the log panel, turning Leo into a light-weight IDE.

I found my vision vastly improved when I started riding and hiking a lot more. It also drastically degrades when I am tired, to the point where if I am well rested and have been active that week I don't need glasses. I tend not to use them at all anymore. Interestingly I never experienced the same benefits from driving, even though there is some eye movement and shifting focus there.
