> Hell, if you pay cash at a restaurant, "do you want change for that?" is similar.

I've paid cash at plenty of sit down restaurants and never had that question. Almost invariably, when the cash presented exceeds the bill when the server picks it up (instead of leaving a tip separately after paying the bill), the server will say something like “I’ll be right back with your change” in exactly the same way they’ll say “I'll be right back with your drinks” when you've ordered them. Now, this certainly provides an opportunity to decline (or to make specific requests for how the change should be provided, as may be necessary to leave the exact tip you want), but it's not asking that.
Even if they don't block, if you run an email server on an ISP ip block, a lot of other mail servers will refuse you connections.

If you're going to tin your own mail server, it's paying for a good VPS. Beside the guaranteed static IP, being on an IP block with a good reputation, good VPS provider have redundant power sources and console access over the web, which you are unlikely to have either from home.
Some of the anti-tipping points might be good in an abstract kind of way, but people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars moralizing to people who make much less and have no control of the situation over a couple of bucks ... it's not a good look.

I tip because the people I tip seem to appreciate it. It brings a little more happiness into the world. I could adopt an attitude that makes neither of us happy, but why?

There are other ways to get an extra 2-3 hrs a day that are not bad for your health. Some ideas.

* Acquire a shorter commute by moving somewhere closer to work, shifting your working hours to avoid rush hour, or working from home.

* Bike to work, to combine commuting and exercise time.

* Hire help with daily chores like lawn work, house cleaning, laundry, and cooking.

* Eat lunch at your desk

Hey, I'm Avi, one of the cofounders of Journal -- A subscription service is likely how we will offer Journal after the beta period.
It's unlikely that you're tone deaf. It's quite rare. Truly tone deaf people can't really hear music, because they can't hear the relative relationships of pitches properly. It's the relative pitches, not the absolute pitches, that create the ebb and flow of music.

I've been playing music for thirty-odd years, and I couldn't name pitches by ear most of the time, certainly not without thinking about it. I often hand-tune guitars (relatively!) if I'm playing by myself, and after a few days of that, it's not unusual to be more than a half-step out of whack. I don't notice, because it's in tune with itself.

Yep. I've been hearing mentions of this guy's theories from pop science publications for years even though, as the article says, "The idea has found no support in the astrophysical community—over the last decade, Chapline’s papers on this topic have garnered only single-digit citations."

The pop science press is depressingly bad.

I'm sure it doesn't happen often -at scale-, in chain restaurants with big corporate backing but in an industry where most close after their first year and the workers are frequently undocumented or transient. It happens.

Well, bad news there too:

Disclaimer: I know none of these numbers...

Let's say that GV had the opportunity to sell to SoftBank at a valuation of 50B. Let's just guess that they would getting a 500X return. Maybe they invested 1M early at a 10M valuation and got diluted to ~1% ownership. So 1% of 50B is 500M on a 1M investment.

This is a great return for them. Congrats to all involved.

But this could be considered something of a low-end valuation. Maybe it's more... maybe Uber can IPO at a 100B valuation. The difference between a 500X and 1000X exit is huge, but risky. Maybe they end up IPO'ing at only a 40B valuation. GV would still have a 400X exit. This is the risk GV would have to gauge.

Now, if you're one of the later investors and spent 100M for 1%, then the (respective) numbers would be 5X (500M for a 100M investment), 10X, and 4X. For an late round investment like this, you may chose to exit at a locked in 5X, deeming the risk of a 4X exit too great.

Thus my comment that earlier round investors would be less sensitive to whatever the ultimate IPO valuation is. A 400X exit would make a fund. A 4X exit, while good, isn't great.

Again, I don't know the numbers and I suspect they are all significantly higher. I picked numbers that made the math easier. I also don't know who ultimately ended up cashing out (or when). So really, this is all speculation. But if anyone has the numbers, I'd love to know them!
google your <city name> public library interlibrary loan. You can request what you want on-line. Many will also deliver it to you. You can also get ebooks that way as well. Also check out the app called Libby.

Why? He doesn't have to pay a sales team, marketing department, IT guy, etc. He also doesn't have a building full of engineers who he can query if he runs into something he can't handle. I would never pay an individual, regardless of whether or not they're a corp, more than I'd pay a company which provides engineering talent.
>If I do that for an extended period of time, I feel bored, existential, "socially unproductive", and begin to get a creeping sense of being a rat in a ratrace.

Interesting, I'm in my mid 30s and removed the dates of graduation when I was looking 3-4 yrs ago. The person I had reviewing my resume said removing the dates was a dead give away and they may assume I'm even older than I am so I put it back. Age hasn't been an issue for me yet but I have had people say things like "You don't look like you have a kid that old" and other strange things when we talk about personal things and they find a little about me. Now that I'm even older I may just remove education completely and try to get extra sleep leading up to any interviews to minimize my eye elasticity.

There was never a single break through at Bletchley. The Bombe machines (there were eventually many of them) were useful, but were just one part of the overall effort, and they did not always get results. The idea that all messages ended with "Heil Hitler!" is just wrong.
Yeah, I call bullshit. Unless you're one of the top 1% of engineers in the valley or in FinTech you're not getting near that.
It's useful for projects where maintaining tests is impractical such as the linux kernel. When someone tries to find a regression in the kernel they are probably going to write a test which grep's dmesg for a certain output, or sometimes the regression is a kernel panic and you are basically checking if your system crashes or not on each bisect step.

I've never searched for gaps in employment.

Several companies I’ve worked for have had a checkbox on the HR paperwork for interviews, have all gaps in the candidates CV been explained Y/N?
I don't have nearly as much experience as you, but I've been doing the same thing. After giving a ton of interviews to people who put "concurrency" or "multithreading" as a skill on their resume (yes, really), I realized it's better to keep the information clear and relevant; listing off a million languages or vague skills is an easy way to make an interviewer look for reasons to call bullshit.

The recruiters I've dealt with usually want to slap on a bunch of crap like "Web scala Java OOP web-scale MEAN STACK" onto the resume before they submit it, but the solution to that is to do it all in LaTeX so that they don't know how to work with it :)
It's also completely impossible to repair and the screen cracks if you breath on it wrong (contrary to all their claims about toughness they advertised so heavily when they came out with it). By impossible to repair, I mean quite literally no one including them will repair it, if something goes wrong they will send you a new one at a slight discount, but given how expensive it is that's not much comfort since you can still buy another brand of phone cheaper (I think it was $200 off, which is a bit better now that they've dropped the price, but still insane for a "repair"). It's a serious waste of money. Looks nice though. EDIT: I say it looks nice, but the polished back was a stupid idea; everyone complains about their phone being covered in fingerprints, so if you do mirrored metal guess what happens… it's the worst phone I've ever had for looking dirty.
This is an example of perfect being the enemy of good.
I think people have been predicting gravity wave telescopes for so long that when one finally showed up, it wasn’t that exciting to the press.

This result says that random sizes and orbits are not consistent with observations. But there is a huge gap between "random" and "uniform", even ignoring all the possible different distributions.

We know that our solar system is not random -- e.g., we have the "platonic solids" spacing, for our inner planets. So, our solar system is also not described by the disallowed model.

It's great that some subset of random distributions are ruled out for systems that happen to have planets packed close to their star, but that says nothing at all about how we compare to the the overwhelming majority of other systems systematically excluded from the sample.

As with most results that hit the popular press, any actual significance is garbled to the point of meaninglessness.

But a good graphic can be worth a lot if you ignore the headline.

I use the similar (but a bit wonkier) weather.gov graphs. I have it bookmarked on my phone, for checking the weather before I ride. After a bit you can figure it out at a glance. It also tells me sunrise and sunset times.

> I tip because the people I tip seem to appreciate it. It brings a little more happiness into the world. I could adopt an attitude that makes neither of us happy, but why?

Each individual tipping decision in isolation is a positive, but the aggregate together preserves a system which is a negative. There's a collective action problem, and the moralizers are trying to drive defection from the existing regime to the point where it breaks the problematic system.

Also, the moralizers aren't mostly moralizing to the recipients, but to others in their same social strata. They aren't trying to get tied workers to defect from typing, they are trying to get other people like themselves to stop tipping.
According to netmarketshare[0], on desktop[1], Edge currently has 3.8% market share, more than Safari and Opera together. Combining mobile+desktop Edge has 2%.

Edge cannot be ignored if one is serious about any kind of business: that's 3-4 out of every 100 desktop users (existing or potential customers), or 'just' 2/100 if one includes mobile.

— Honestly, it seems that you are trolling. But I post the above stats in case you are not. But I also back it up with my own personal 'anecdata': I build business-to-business ecommerce, in our specific market our users are primarily (>95%) using desktop browsers, we have many thousands of existing business relationships, we cannot mandate which browsers they use — we draw the line at having the site simply work in all "modern browsers", which obviously includes Edge.

It doesn't really matter whether it's "many browsers" that don't support Web Components, or whether it's just one major browser. For many businesses, choosing WC is simply not a viable option for the foreseeable future.

Agreed. I'm a python beast, but really struggled with Assembly language in school. I'd have been better off with a ZXSpectrum earlier in life so I could've learned hardware. IMO high level languages (as insanely useful as they are) are similar to writing spells like a wizard and using assembly or even basic when you know all the registers...etc is more like a real science. Both are valuable, but I really wish I knew more about hardware.
I run a Python user group for my city and there's a number of people who teach python to kids there. One tool that's gained a lot of traction is Pythonista (http://omz-software.com/pythonista/) which kids can use to code graphical games directly on an iOS device. Code Like a Girl introduces python to kids 8-years old and up as well. Personally I've had lots of success teaching python to my 12-year old step daughter. She's being taught javascript at school through App Lab and hasn't found the transition to be particularly difficult.
I would think the sleep for sure. I don't think many studies recommend 1+ hours of exercise a day. If you walk as much as possible, squeeze in 15 minutes of (body) weight training a day and maybe two 30 minutes of jogging a week you should be pretty good.

They still have some random dropouts and errors. Occasionally they'll send malformed json to the mobile app and it'll crash. Often times data from my weather station is rejected for no reason. Sometimes the 10 day graph just doesn't work or other data goes missing.

And of course they have no real support. It's a shame because having all the nearby weather stations aggregating data makes for some pretty accurate weather.
In terms of physical beauty, my favorite algorithm is the voronoi diagram. The 2D variant is rather boring, but the 3D version looks great and is capable of representing many natural phenomena from cellular division to material fragmentation (a common use is procedural generation of rocks).
Yep thought of them and also the predecessor to the now defunct Newton Mail. Magic-something. I ended up not using them as much as I liked the idea.
A lot of my school was like that, but it wasn't really the teachers' faults. Job opportunities in the field I went to school for tend to be primarily with government organizations or work that is funded by government grants or other such things.

Pretty much for the 20 years prior to me going to school, it was a great field to get into. I looked into success rates for previous graduating classes, checked out available positions and starting salaries. Worked for a few years before going to school to save a bit of money. Made, what I thought was, a fairly decent plan ended up taking out loans and going to school.

The first year was great, everything seemed positive for prospects after school me and just about everyone else got summer jobs in a related field. Then the government changed and suddenly funding for science and the environment was gone. We got to spend the rest of the time in school getting visits from federal and provincial departments telling us about all the awesome opportunities we would have had...if it had been last year...instead they told us they'd been cutting positions and we'd be lucky if we'd get hired sometime.in the next ten years.

We also got to go to a lot of different places where they showed us the work they used to do, when they were still getting money.

By the end I think less than half the people I went to school with ended up getting jobs in the field. I worked for a few years doing it, but wasn't making enough to really live or pay my loans back so I had to look for something different.
I disagree. You always leave the edges empty or at least put non-essential information there. There are so many contexts where the edges aren't there, such as:

- print (not really applicable to the web)
- projectors/TVs (my TV cuts off ~5% from each edge)
- sticky notes on the edge of the monitor
- anti-glare screen covers

It also feels cramped to read at the edge of the screen. I like having the negative space there to frame the text.
I know this people say that people in red states vote against their interests, but I think it misses some aspects. Red states tend to have onerous voter disenfranchisement which tends to target people of color but also poor whites as well who are also likely to not have IDs. Moreover, poor people have to work, and aren't as willing to lose time in the day and get fired in order to vote.

It's similar to the discussion about 2016. Forever the media narrative has been poor whites voted for Trump, but the exit polls show that his voter base skewed towards higher pay than did Clinton's, and that doesn't even count the myriad of people who never vote because they don't see the exercise as having a positive benefit for them.

May be the media and politicians in red states hypes taxes etc., but polls show a majority of people in the US support raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations[0]. So, I've never really believed people in red states really that anti-tax in the majority. The ones who I've come across who are tend to be wealthy.

Tic-80 is slightly higher resolution than Pico-8, with a user-definable palette and a more standard lua implementation. The music editor is slightly less intuitive, though.

Pixel Vision 8 is more flexible and complex than the other alternatives. One KEY difference between it and the others is that you can define your own editor tools... but the way this is done means that you must save your work every time you switch from tool A to tool B, or your work in tool A will be lost! It also is built with a focus on interoperability with external tools; it isn't as focused as the others on being a cozy self-contained environment.
I'd get the OnePlus even at that price range; it may not be as nice looking, but it's at least sort of repairable. If you break your essential they make you buy a new one at a slight discount. ifixit gave the essential a 1/10 for repair ability.

You can always add `is ro` trait modifier.

multi sub trait_mod:<is> (Attribute:D $attr, :$ro!) {
# no need to do anything, because this is the default
}

class Pointer {
has $.x is ro;
has $.y is rw;
}

That is assuming you aren't fine with using `is readonly`.

class Pointer {
has $.x is readonly;
has $.y is rw;
}

Which works better with the trait mod `is required`

class Pointer {
has $.x is readonly is required;
has $.y is rw;
}

Interestingly, this might be in response to the new PCI requirements.
