Then they shouldn't be allowed to conduct business. Of course I expect them to cover all emergencies period. How they do that, I don't really care. If it were up to me, I'd ban these monstrous leeches from society altogether and only allow them to offer supplemental plans. They clearly can't do their own job so they should be replaced by a program like Medicare or Medicaid that can do the job. Would you accept a car insurance policy that only covers some accidents? That's beyond ridiculous.
It could be accomplished just as easily by writing your own function just as jQuery did.

My point is that such wording, as above, gave people the impression that jQuery was not javascript and you could not accomplish things in vanilla js. Such false impressions are still around today.
The BN-800 is certainly better proven than other breeder designs, which are either much smaller or operate only in PowerPoint slides. Can it or something like it be built at prices to make breeder power reactors commercially mainstream? That's still unknown. Commercial viability is the biggest unknown for every new power reactor design.
Ok, so your argument seems to show that Google News has a bias towards generally accurate sources. I think it would be stupid and dangerous to rank Breitbart higher given its frequent inaccuracies. When Google is essentially curating this content, they've got their own image on the line.
You already have domain skills, unless you hate what you're currently doing it would be a mistake to try and become a "general programmer." Try to figure out what role you can fill that integrates programming and your current domain knowledge, and develop your programming skills to move into that niche. Over time you can broaden your programming skill set, and shift into new niches.
Not just for big companies like Accenture.

The Spanish market is full of small consultancies and they still charge a 2.5-3 times the worker salary to their clients.

This makes very hard for anyone to get a salary above 45k euros because paying above 150k (21% VAT included) is hard to justify just for one person.

The man had insurance, it didn't pay out. Or more accurately, the hospital intentionally overwhelmed the insurance company's willingness to pay.

I can't think of the right analogy for house fire insurance. Because you can take your payout after the fire, and either rebuild or use it to buy another house. There's never a situation where you have house fire insurance, and end up paying MORE when your house burns down.
Yup. The endgame for this type of content if there is one is probably dynamically generated shows that adapt story lines and characters to need your mood and desires, even the unconscious ones.

I don't mind over-the-top drama. Drama does not need to be dumb. One of my favorite series is Downton Abbey. The rule of that show seems to be that given a situation, always take the most dramatic route. This isn't bad though, the characters react realistically, they have depth, the show is wonderfully well acted. If you're not actively paying attention you will miss subtle facial expressions and looks that the characters show, giving more insight into what they are really thinking.

Julia is an attempt at the best of all worlds:

- It is functional (including lisp-like macro programming) but has a strict type system along with multiple dispatch, which effectively allows for OOP constructs.

- It allows for dynamic typing but since it is JIT compiled using LLVM, you can specify static types for variables and thus take advantage of lots of smart optimisation.

- There is garbage collection but also the ability to get right in there and reach into pointers and memory-allocation manually.

It's truly a pleasure to work with once you appreciate what's possible.
Finishing my first build now. It was a tear down of an old house and replaced with a slightly larger ( ~ 4200sqft ), custom house on the same footprint. A different design ( curved roof and lots of glass ), but less site work ( e.g. driveway, well, retaining walls, etc already in place ).

Rough timeline ( just under two years from start to finish ):
- starting looking seriously in Nov 2016
- Found property in Jan 2017 and closed on April 2017
- interviewed half a dozen GCs / architects, had one lined up by May 2018
- basic design / layout of house done by July 2018
- started permit process in July 2018
- Demo'd existing house Nov 2018
- All permits finally approved Dec 2018
- Construction Dec 2018 - present ( projected finish Oct 2018 )

What I learned:

+ If this is your first house and you don't have experience, hire the best general contractor you can find for your project. Hire a general contractor prior to selecting a site if possible, as they would be very helpful in helping you with the pros and cons of each build site. Your choice of contractor is one of the biggest choicest you can make in terms of how enjoyable the process will be. The best way you can automate the process is your selection of GC.

+ We worked with a design/build firm that did both the architectural work + the contracting.

+ The general contractor is CEO. You are the Chairperson of the Board. Your role isn't making day to day decisions, but rather finding a CEO that can perform the job, providing what he or she needs to do the job you asked ( mainly timely money and decisions ), and confirming the job has been done.

+ Minimize change orders, but don't be afraid to make changes during the construction. Decisions get exponentially more expensive to change as you go along. We only had one change order --- ripped out a sliding door and replaced it with a window. That change, which would have only cost $75 at drafting time, cost us ~$5k. However, if we had waited until the project was finished the cost would have been $8-10k+. Also know, that if you ask for an estimated cost on a change order or add-on during construction, expect it to actually cost 25-50%.

+ Even seasoned pros make mistakes. Accept upfront that mistakes / delays will happen. If you stress about every mistake and try to optimize everything, you'll drive yourself crazy. Focus on avoiding the mistakes that would be prohibitively expensive to fix properly.

+ Permitting time is a lot longer than you think. We hired the site engineer in July and didn't get approved permits until Dec ( there was never any push back on the permits, but they all had long processing times and could not be run in parallel.
Yeah, but beard kopeks didn't exist in 1687. Not until 1697.
What? No. My point is that each new building is a chance to do better. Claiming it’s too late because we have built up areas is helplessness.

If you double the size of a town and build the new half well you solve more than half of the problem.

Thank you for your response.

1. If I'm completely stuck, I try to get away from the problem for a short while and return to it again, because forcing myself generally doesn't help in solving it faster. I found that this generally works better, at least for me.

2. I'll try this.

3. I'd probably think they either don't know what I've done, or they are very proficient at it.

4. I don't believe that software development will become a less valued skillset. The hype around it might die, but then again I don't really about that. I enjoy tech as an observant consumer who pays attention to detail, and believe that I'd be capable to translate my observations to a new product/tech. What I currently lack to do so is a technical toolset.

How would you evaluate my answers to the questions?
> I basically have !g programmed into my fingers for everything more complicated

This might be more energy than you're willing to expend, but just in case you were not already aware: there is a feedback icon in the bottom-left(!!!) corner of the page through which you can let them know about your bad experience. My interest in doing that is that in my life it is unreasonable to expect change without letting the other party know of your discontent.

I gravely wish it was just a one button sad-face, but at least it exists. I also would have previously guessed they could have used the presence of `!g` as a proxy for the sad-face, but that's certainly not true if users are preemptively `!g` based on an assumption about the results instead of trying the search first.
Brilliant! Might also be worth asking for 20 years experience in a technology that has only been out for 2 and a PHD for a salary of $45,000 a year.

That's the biggest downside. Showing me ads for products that I have already made a decision about.

I don't fully understand why they continued after seeing clickthrough numbers go down across the board. I guess it's easier to sell the concept; only show this ad to people who have already seen this product but they are usually late with the message. If I'm looking at something today chances are by next week/month I have already decided to buy or move on. How many engagement rings can one buy?
Yea and WAY less sugar in our food.
Try using it outside the US. Then you get results halfway across the world. :(

Example: if I search DDG for "Worcester" (a significant city near my home in south-central England), 28 of the top 30 results are Worcester, Massachusetts.

There is a toggle at the top of the page where I can choose "United Kingdom". That fixes it. But the default should be "worldwide" or "localised by IP address", not "US".

Unless you're building a stupid-simple board w/old-style through-hole components, give up on milling and just use an internet board house. (FWIW, Sunstone/PCBExpress has done great boards for me.) Why? 1) Layers & plated vias: You want them, even if just for power and ground planes; 2) Solder Mask (really makes manual soldering easier, esp for fine pitch chips), and opaque solder mask can provide a little early IP obfuscation; 3) Silkscreen annotations, but most importantly, especially if doing Surface Mount components, 4) Solder paste stencils - if you're doing fine pitch surface mount you do want this! (Make sure your solder mask prevents bridging between adjacent pads!)
First you have to take an introduction to neo-classical microecomics class... and then not delve any deeper into economics whatsoever. This will lead you to believe, as OP does, and as such give you the ability to change by the means of your belief!

Who says their legacy, TDMA based radio networks are properly functioning? Motorola has sold most US municipalities and business clients hot garbage for radio networks, they can't push high call volumes, and your often limited by crosstalk (other people trying to talk on your channel) and the number of operators on staff. They literally revert to playing clear the channel tones for a solid minute multiple times a day. Its awful!

The current emergency responder trunked radio networks are extremely fragile, shitty systems. I have no hope that the transmitter at Columbia Tower in Seattle will be of any use to emergency personnel after a major event. Too few channels available, not enough staff to route and handle the channels we do have either.
Also, I think you could kill a bear with the bottle, so it might ship well.
It's cultural, as well. One time a car of people in Houston drove me off the road onto the curb. They screamed out of their window "why you biking out here, you trying to die?"

Java does not have parametric polymorphism because instanceof exists in the language. That reduces what you can say about something from the type alone to "maybe parametric, maybe bounded by runtime checks that aren't visible in the type."

How many languages provide you a way to guarantee at the type level that the behavior of a function cannot be influenced by instantiation of type variables? I don't believe that to be true of anything that runs in the JVM or in .NET, for instance, as runtime type information is always available. C++ has dynamic_cast. What common language actually has parametricity expressed in the type system?
Dismediation, revisited
Everytime friends from outside Rotterdam cycle here, I warn them that it's not like te rest of the country. In Amsterdam it's not really frowned uppon if you go through a dormant red trafficlight, I wouldn't recommend that in Rotterdam. A lot of children in Rotterdam (in South) don't grow up with a bike, which is very much in contrast with the article imho.
I'm just pointing that out that it's not a total idyllic bike-paradise here imo.

Idaho sheriffs say DMV software causing headaches, delays
That's a good point. Put another way, were I to run a local copy of a wikipedia mirror, right here in my own bedroom, I'd be putting myself eye-to-eye with any wikipedia employee or volunteer. I'd have the same tools in my hands, as they do. I'd be one person, a PHP script hosted by an apache process, and the wikipedia data set.

But, contrast that to Facebook, and the concept becomes more interesting. Facebook's search utilities are similarly unsatisfying, despite the massive resources of the company. This is probably not a blind spot, but more about the level of quality provided, for free-tier, unprivileged user utilities. Advertisers probably gain better reach, but perhaps without knowing exactly who they reach. Facebook's search tool can't be used to discern the capabilities or qualities of one or more of the indices Facebook uses to negotiate the landscape of their data.
I promise I don't mean this in a snarky way, but: isn't the behavior you're describing almost the exact opposite of not being tracked?

A bunch of low-reach languages have true parametric polymorphism. A bunch of common languages have polymorphism that may be parametric or may be bounded by runtime type information checks, and you can't tell the difference from the types.

Neither of those contradict my assertion that most programmers have never done work in a language where the type system can make guarantees that they can trust.
Yeah, I can't count the times I heard some variation of "It's literally impossible to ship software without generics" from /r/programming alone. The OP's idealism/pragmatism comment is particularly misguided, since Go consistently favors pragmatism over idealism and in fact that was why Go has held off for so long on adding generics (idealism would have added them from day 1, consequences be damned).
And FWIW, I haven't used anything but Internet PCB shops for prototypes since 2001 - that's the point at which I needed surface mount, so I made the change, and never looked back. If you're really in a hurry, you can pay a bit more to expedite and get everything in a day or two (usually the stencil's the long pole in the tent...) We did two board spins a week for rapid development projects, without no problems - in 2002!
Josh from the Community Broadband Project here. Would be happy to answer any questions about our mission and progress in LA. I'm no regular, but we just got a bunch of traffic from Hacker News and I'm here to spread the gospel.

NYC Mesh is doing very cool stuff--we wish them the best. We're in touch with a few other community ISPs who are growing organically in competition against big incumbent ISPs. It's inspiring.

Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Culver City are all constructing municipal fiber right now. In the case of at least WeHo and Culver, it's aimed primarily at businesses. Some residents may see fiber offered by the incumbents, but we did some math of those offerings and it was $133/mo for 1Gbps. It'd be more helpful for the community if reasonable speeds were more affordable and available, than only some wealthy neighborhoods getting fiber.
I disagree. If you have an polymorphic getPrice() as part of an interface than you can't possibly list all the invariants as individual well-typed exceptions. That would assume perfect knowledge of all possible implementations of that method now and in the future. That's not OOP.

In a non-polymorphic case of a bundled item, you'd simply not have a getPrice() method on the item at all. It might simply not implement the PricedItem interface, for example. There are plenty of ways of ensuring all invariants are met, in a type-safe way, without using exceptions. If it's possible to come to situation as normal correct operation (such as an item in bundle) then it's not exceptional.
Brown University Paper Shows Research Robot Vulnerability
What car has sensors that can detect bikes or pedestrians? My Subaru has rear radar, which is great at detecting vehicles that I literally can’t see, but I would never trust that to alert me to bikes or people.
The proposed contracts design is quite different to Java and C++'s generics. Why should they use the same syntax?

If you want Java and C++ then they are there for you to use. Go is a different language and its differences are not gratuitous. Use it for a while and you'll find out why "i int" works better than "int i" (compare Go's pointer and function type specs to C's).
Cruise missiles? Drones? With "AI"? Whatever, so damn predictable. But hey, when you gotta kill, you gotta kill. Might as well do it efficiently, with as little operator risk as possible.

But it does suck, when you're the target. And low operator risk makes wars a lot easier to sell to frightened masses. So likely, there'll be more targets, for less justifiable reasons. Resource wars, for example.
I've experimented a bit recently with a few adaptogens, namely maca root and ashwagandha. Not technically an adaptogen but something I've also recently experimented with is theanine. I admittedly didn't realize until just now that the term was one used by scientists.

Maca, which I've seen described as tasting like the remnants of a cigarette ashtray (my guess is that this is accurate), seems to give me additional stamina in workouts, as well as sexual benefits. Theanine seems to be beneficial for anxiety although the effect is mild. Ashwagandha I've not yet found how to use effectively. It's supposed to be useful for anxiety as well, but when I've taken it at night as a replacement for Xanax I've not found it helpful. The paper linked by the OP suggests that adaptogens have a stimulative effect so perhaps that's what I'm experiencing.

With all that said, has anyone come across a good herbal substitute to benzodiazepines for anxiety? I'm taking Xanax more often than I would like and do not want to go back on SSRIs.
I've thought about this as well, but because I will need a flow of income, I thought acquiring entry level skills for a full time position and gaining experience would be a more ideal start.

Coding around journalism is something I'd want to do, but there aren't as many job openings as there are in other areas.
As I mentioned, it's not just for avoiding cryptic error messages, though I am not sure if we're even referring the same thing as this is a completely different one from linker errors. Believe me, improving the output doesn't help that much. Hundreds of C++ compiler developer have been trying that for tens of years. None of them has succeed to the level of making a novice understands what's going on when they give sort(list) to the compiler.

To iterate my point, it serves as a "contract" between users and the code author. Without this, any user of a generic function will implicitly depend on its implementation, which creates tight coupling. Cryptic error messages or unintentional breakage are just undesired side effects from not having this clear boundary. So, the interface of generic functions needs to be explained to its users anyway; then why not making this understandable to compiler and prevent users from making such mistakes?
I'm not trying to advertise, but Beaker browser does a real good job of making p2p delivery transparent to the end user. It's probably slower than most sites in normal usage, but certainly acceptable speeds for static sites, and it performs better under the hug-of-death a site gets when posted on Hacker News. :)

Plus, it already has existing methods to map DNS records or servers to the p2p records, so I can access dat://beakerbrowser.com/ or dat://epa.hashbase.io/ and get it served across the p2p network or pull it up offline if I've viewed it before.
