Nonsense. Most Googler engineers (more than 5% of the workforce) will be making at least $200k take-home after five years or so. This kind of salary can easily pay for a $1.5M home purchase. That won't buy you a four-bedroom in Chelsea, but it can buy you a reasonable home further out. And that's assuming no contribution from your spouse.

Now they may choose to rent, as I do, but that's because there are some big flexibility advantages to renting compared to buying.

"People like it" is a major positive. Compare to C++, which often gets neglected in favour of C even in cases where it would probably be better, because most people _hate_ it.

a) True, but most uboats needed air anyway. They were viewable by air. (Sure there was a snorkel [1] but they couldn't endure hours using it).

b) "I also doubt he'd risk surfacing near a foe armed to the teeth so shortly after cessation of hostilities"

Ok. This. I would say, yes, they would risk it on the German side. Germans were known to run to American troops for safety. The 'bad war' wasn't between the US and the Germans. The Germans weren't dumb they knew if they surrendered to the US they would have international rights and be treated like POWs.

c) Sure. But that left each vessel to their own devices. I would imagine many surrendering to the US (but still have arms on board).

"I have no idea how many submarines were still operational and on patrol come V-E Day"

I would say not many. Many due to gasoline restrictions. Being a Uboat wasn't hard, it was being an axis allied gasoline tanker that was hard.

Look at the bright side, just 10-20 years ago it was basically just the SF Bay Area with tiny outposts in Seattle, Boston and Austin. Now all three of those are a lot bigger. NYC now has a solid tech scene. Boulder has one. Toronto is starting to develop one. Many secondary cities are starting to develop their own like in Durham, NC. Pittsburg is now on the map when previously all CM alums would leave the area after graduation. Even Detroit is developing a small scene.

Tech opportunities are still going to cities, especially those with the biggest companies, but it's spreading to more and more cities and tech companies now know they need to expand to other markets to reach new talent.
One thing that spanking does not require while the types of consequences you talk about do is parents' time and engagement.

Proper discipline takes time! I did not realize how much of my time and effort it will take to put in place proper punishments.

It's easy to yell at or hit a kid. It takes no time at all. I don't know how effective it is.

I want my kids to understand why they are getting a punishment, and have the punishment be constructive in some way, even if it is standing in a corner and thinking about what you did, or sitting in the "time out" chair and letting their emotions cool down a bit. Afterwards, we always talk about why they got punished, what they did wrong, and how they can avoid it in the future.

Yelling is interesting. I find that emotional reactive yelling is not good. Tempered and controlled yelling like the parent poster describes is much better. Getting the tone right to the situation takes practice.
One of Rust's selling points is zero cost abstractions which would normally imply doing more work with less code (as you would expect in a high level language like Python). So it is surprising that it takes that many more lines of code to achieve what C does without those abstractions.
You greatly over-estimate how much those things influences people's decisions. People move for jobs. SF is pretty much the poster child for a terrible place to live (transit clusterfuck, aggressive homeless, high rents, no hope of owning property for most, increasing crime) that people keep moving to for the economic opportunity (good jobs).

Well, they just can't blame me then for not understanding what's going on in their heads. What a feeling that must be, keeping it a secret that they were of opposite gender once. It's mind-boggling to me, really.
Define economic winner....you mean top line income and area GDP? These places are the most expensive places in the country to live, and quality of living is considerably lower. Incomes may be lower in many areas of the country, but when you consider you can pay $2k/mo on a 5,000 sq ft mortgage instead of renting a 900 sq ft apartment, I don't view these places as economically successful as many perceive them to be.
Batch convert audio files using SoX (Sound eXchange)
New York, especially Manhattan and nice parts of Brooklyn also have a great public school system. It’s very, very big with dozens of schools. This is critical for any parent obviously.

My kids go to PS11, which is excellent, just a few blocks from Google HQ (I don’t work at Goog) with some real diversity in the classroom, literally kids of all possible colors from around the world. Interestingly, none of the other parents I know work at Google. I wouldn’t mind if that number ... doubled.

Right now we’re looking at middle schools and I am pleased to say the options in district 2 are fantastic, again.

This guy is well known in the Netherlands. He became popular as positive energy guru with his catchphrase Tjsakka, somewhere at the end of the previous millennium. And is known as a entertainer and media attention seeker by almost all Dutchmen. Nobody here would be surprised by this and think it is one of his new jokes.

>At some point a large'ish team should be able to dive in to the project... FWs are primarily a means of standardization for me.

I don't work with a large team internally, but externally I do. Every website built using my platform has potentially multiple people editing it.

Also, wouldn't you consider long term support just as important as team size?

As much I don't like other people's frameworks, the more common the framework the more history of support online and ease of finding someone who can fix/upgrade it later.

At least that is my assumption moving forward with Bootstrap. Anyone else have feedback on supporting Bootstrap sites long term?
Venezuela's digital currency experiment
I'd say that it's an example of a flaw in the english language: I don't know german but I think that the fact that not all words are exactly the same in the sentence will make it easier to parse.
I'm not a native English speaker but I think I'm fairly proficient, and I find that I struggle parsing newspaper and website titles much more often than I would expect - I never struggle when speaking with people. I think this is due to the fact that short sentences omit articles and prepositions, which makes english way harder to parse since it doesn't have the redundancy in grammatical cues that other languages have.
Strictly speaking, we have that already — I forget the English term but a court can declare you to be childlike and appoint a guardian to take care of adult affairs for you.

But that's not what you meant, right? You meant: what benefits would we get from having more complex "age" machinery in every database? Well, the complexity can be an advantage in itself. Much employment for highly paid database specialists, and many (small?) opportunities for blackhat mischief by leveraging people's assumptions that one "age" is the other "age".
Having written device drivers before, the first thing I wondered was how he allocated a fixed region of physical memory in user space...

"In kernel space there is an API to allocate DMA memory, in user space we have to use other mechanisms since this API is not available here. To disable swapping, we can use mlock(2). [...] However, mlock(2) only ensures that the page is kept in memory. The kernel is still able to move pages to different physical addresses. To circumvent this problem, we use huge pages with a size of 2 MiB. These pages cannot be migrated yet by the Linux kernel, thus stay resident in physical memory."

He didn't, he's depending on an implementation quirk which might change in the future (and also depending on the physical memory backing huge pages being in a region which can be reached by the network device through DMA, though that's probably always true on x86 when memory encryption is not in use).

Police is a much better word for this, IMHO. :) To spell it out, it's an adjective (e.g police car) verb (e.g. police the streets) and obviously a noun. Buffalo has never struck me as a very good verb...

The dutch man talks about age discrimination on Tinder; I imagine that only in recent times has record keeping gotten so omnipresent, and that people have always had more margin to play with their age +/- a few years.

And yet we cannot lie about it much for long. As if there's a hidden clock somewhere, related to rotating around the sun but barely not. Perhaps those in the future will develop a biological clock, but then we go back to the old question of whether this dutch man is wanted less because of age. Is age just the number on his government ID card?

Why can one fudge age, but only a little?

Well consider the last one. Gun manufacturers work indirectly through the NRA. It's advertising coming at you from a different perspective, more akin to product placement in a movie. And it's still drumming up a perception of consumer need -- "you are threatened, you need to buy a gun," just as "you are smelly, you need to buy a perfume."
Obviously, police that police police police police, and those that police that group, police police police, police police police.
Right out of school? Maybe. My first job, I did indeed not really consider location at all. And I would not have lived in the city I took the job long term and moved when I left the job after 3 years, albeit to go back to school which had been more or less my plan from the beginning in any case.

In addition to the reasons you give, there's also whether you like a place. I might (or might not) be willing to make some tradeoffs for a locale that's particularly desirable for recreational opportunities and so forth. But not for an exercise in creating a new city, revitalizing one, etc.

All Good Things in All Good Time
Inside Sales Jobs Role
As somebody whos been working in this field for a bit, both sequencing and microscopy are advancing in very exciting ways. So Its weird to see an article pitting one against the other.

I do wonder how easy/costly it is to compare differences in single cells via sequencing. I realize there are methods for cell isolation using stuff like microfluidics. But a lot of these methods use elements of microscopy.

My sense has always been that next-gen sequencing coupled with superres microscopy is the way forward.
"Since the armies tabulated their casualty statistics by the day and not by the hour, we know only the total toll for November 11th: twenty-seven hundred and thirty-eight men from both sides were killed, and eighty-two hundred and six were left wounded or missing. But since it was still dark at 5 a.m., and attacks almost always took place in daylight, the vast majority of these casualties clearly happened after the Armistice had been signed, when commanders knew that the firing was to stop for good at 11 a.m. The day’s toll was greater than both sides would suffer in Normandy on D Day, 1944. And it was incurred to gain ground that Allied generals knew the Germans would be vacating days, or even hours, later."

Words being the same makes it harder to parse, but easier to speak/write...
I think that really depends on the case.

A particularly good high-frequency trader might be interested in Terabytes of minutia when they're trying to sort out what caused yesterday's spike and crash of ticker XYZ.

Systems and sales analysts that are looking at web store front ends (and back ends, if there are issues) would be interested in large volumes of data, specifically corner cases (users who don't follow a statistically significant path), when trying to sort out a UI/UX redesign.

Traffic and transit analysts might want terabytes of data (especially with date and weather indicators) when considering what kind of freeway interchange to add to a growing area.

I suppose I could go on...
Awful seems to have come a long way since I last looked at it: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/awful. Anybody used it in production?
That isn't surprising, really.

Rust can go low-level, but its succintness (compared to C) is when dealing with high-level structures. Things like vectors, hashmaps, or even strings. Those rarely are use on a driver.

In addition to that: in C you can share a pointer in many places and write memory wherever you want. Since rust has ownership system things get a little more complicated. Sometimes you have to write extra code to appease the borrow checker.

Consider that you will never get the situations you get in C, where forgetting to check for NULL in one place can result in privilege escalations (example: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/33322/). I think it's worth it.

I've been considering getting an iPad w/ Pencil for over a year now as a note-taking and doodling apparatus (too often I'll scribble a system diagram down, realise I've missed a bit, and had to start again thanks to the immutability of pen and paper). But beyond that, I don't think I'd have a use for one.

All this power sounds great, but I really don't know what else I'd do with it, beyond surfing an ad-riddled internet on my couch.

If any developer has a life-changing daily use case for their iPad, I'd love to hear it.

What do you mean "connected"? They can still live and feel like a man or woman, without their respective physical features, right? Just be a man, with female features (or vice versa) and surround yourself with people who support and don't judge you upon the facts. Why can't they accept their bodies? I, personally, I can perfectly accept other people with their respective identities, I don't really care what the people think they are. But, as soon they let cut themselves up and are heavily medicated, I begin to sense that they have trouble accepting themselves as who they are. I've had trouble accepting my own sexuality and features of my body, so I know exactly what I'm talking about.

4 Reasons Why a Written Stand-Up Meeting Is Better
Unfortunately I don’t think the German variant works due to the verb “büffeln” being intransitive.

Apart from that, the presence of inflection in German renders the sentence less aesthetically pleasing but alleviates the exact ambiguity that dogs the English example so I’d see it as a plus.
Make compares timestamp of object-file with source-file amiright? This is nice and cheap and stateless. Do modern build-systems maintain a separate tree of hashes? I haven't seen this in my day-to-day but I don't tend to work on the bleeding edge ... I'd have thought the cost of calculating hashes for trivial source-files would be maybe only an order of magnitude cheaper than compiling one? Over a large source-tree I'd expect these costs to mount - I think I'd prefer to take my chance with timestamps!
Reasonably priced homes within 45 minutes of NYC, via train, are definitely not a thing. You're also not even counting our absurd taxes in places like Morristown, Montlcair, Fair Lawn, etc.
Hiring managers aren't interested in feeding and clothing you. They want to hire skilled workers to perform a service. The fact you even bring it up is a huge red flag.

If you're not getting job interviews when you apply, then you need to tailor your resume to what they're looking for. You've gotten good advice on how to do that.
Finding a single counterexample works in mathematics to disprove a theorem, but not in this situation. It is silly to claim that having diverse skills guarantees success. The article doesn't even claim that; it explicitly mentions increasing the odds of success. To "disprove" this claim, you'd need to design and run a study that looks for a statistical relationship between success and skill diversity, both of which you'd have to quantify somehow.
Guile ls LGPL.

>I don't see an issue with refusing to leave a store when you're denied a refund you're legally owed.

The issue is you are literally trespassing at that point. It is illegal, you are committing a crime.

You can't take the law into your own hands. If you are "legally owed" a refund, you can take that to court, prove it, and receive judgment for your refund.

What you cannot do is judge for yourself that you are legally owed a refund and therefore entitled to stay in a retail store regardless of whether or not you are wanted there. That is not a protest, it is just exhibiting a shocking lack of self-awareness and -- trespassing.
Here in the UK, I've never seen buffalo used as a verb, so the buffalo sentence has never seemed all that clever to me.

I've always preferred the publican's complaint - "This sign is painted wrong, you missed the spaces between Dog and and, and and and Duck" - because it doesn't rely on unmarked compounds like police-police or Buffalo-buffalo no-one uses outside linguistic puzzles :)
