It's actually only about half that price or less (in the US), unless you get into the really extreme stuff. There is a lot more to diving safety than just using the correct gas mixes. The training and procedures developed by groups like the WKPP and GUE have now taken nearly all the risk out of technical diving.

Sure. And, like "to be honest" and other expressions of that kind, the "really" serves a purpose: it softens the sentence, making it less confrontational.The surest way to dull, boring writing is to take out every bit of warmth and replace it with rigid application of pseudo-grammatical rules. Sentences should be as concise as possible - but not more.
I suppose you didn't see this:

It's probably also worth noting that the first man to successfully scale Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary, has publicly voiced his disgust with those who leave their fellow climbers to die on the mountain.

congrats and looks great!
Thanks again for the feedback. First week after the 1.0 release I was busy working on improvements and have addressed many of issues you describe.

1. In 1.1 File->Open menu is renamed to Open Repository. Add button will appear in a totally redesigned window layout in the next releases.

2. Source list resizing is fixed in 1.1

3. I have removed the standard headers from the changes list which fixes the problem. This view will be greatly improved later, though.

4. Yes, keyboard navigation is crucial. Now you can navigate between all the panes with arrow keys. Plus, jumping through
the list of repos or commits is optimized.

5. Source list collapsing will be addressed later. 1.1 fixed the issue with persisted changes list when no repo is selected.

6. Repo organization will improve in one of the nearest releases.

Yes, I believe that was the particular trigger to the RSD.

I was at the party at defcon at the top of the riv. one is grossly overweight apparent fan had grabbed me around the neck, and a friendly gesture I might add, it twisted my neck and pulled me down because the pressure was too great on my back, so to protect my back I dropped down. Smashed both of my hands on a table, even that caused problems in my hands, but it was dark, and the person just fade away into the crowd, so I was not given an opportunity to approach him.

Yes it was very unfortunate, but when people around me they need to be respectful of my frailties. I mean, I'm friggin 67 years old, and I still go to these, primarily because younger folks enjoy seeing me there, and hearing some of my stories. But you don't have to wait long, I'm working on a book, and I bet you can't wait to read all about it.
Great explanation. As someone who doesn't use Tumblr, this clarified a lot. Thanks!
I thought the main problem with forking without getting the Java(TM) seal of approval is you may be liable for patent infringement.
You also have to realize that you're training Google's algorithms to better understand the things that matter to you, so that even though you spend less time reading emails, now they can target ads better, leading to more clicks (and higher bids due to better targetting).

Could Harmony just rebrand and go its own way? i.e. people would be "Harmony developers" instead of "Java developers" but it would be the same thing. Or are there patent or licence obstacles to this? A platform run by Google and Apache would have a core of great engineering and the pick of the best libraries.

I appreciate that ASL is in reality an impossible boat to turn because it relies on the voluntary contribution of dozens of key developers, each running private projects with investments in software based on the existing VM tradition.

Dragon Dictate 2.0 for Mac: the Ars review
Yes for caves. Caves are easy and safe compared to deep open ocean wrecks. Caves may actually be within the "reasonable to do recreationally" level, and WKPP is or was actually doing worthwhile environmental science too.

Outside of the US, helium is seriously expensive. I was figuring dual rebreathers, or rebreather + OC bailout. $800 in gas alone for a 100m training dive for TDI Adv Nitrox, open circuit.

WKPP and GUE definitely use teams to reduce the risk AND cost (although I have some issues with some of GUE), but at the same time, it reduces your flexibility. I really would want to only do tech diving with a group of people I routinely train with and trust, but I'd be ok with customizing our gear as a group.

Not using computers is just fucking unforgivably wrong, though. Using a computed table as your primary dive plan, sure, but you want a computer in case anything doesn't go according to plan, plus a bottom timer.

I wouldn't dive below 30m in a difficult environment without dual buoyancy on independent gas sources (drysuit + argon bottle, or twin tanks manifolded with BC on one and drysuit on the other, etc.). Helmets, especially with lights, can save your life. Snorkels can be useful if you do shore dives or long surface swims (although I throw it into a BC pocket). There are times when a big knife, prybar, hammer, etc. can be useful, and I never dive without shears and a knife. Solo dives are probably better for some wrecks (although maybe it being a solo-only environment makes it not worth diving there). Air at 30-40m is probably ok, although trimix at 40m+.
I agree wholeheartedly. All the startup founders I've met have all been more than willing to help others out.

But at the same time, when it comes to business decisions, personal relationships often take a back seat (i.e. Zuckerberg), and sometimes it's simply good business (i.e. Eric Schmidt leaving Apple board probably due to Android vs. iPhone, WePay icing Paypal, companies suing each other over IP/copyright... etc).

I'm not at all criticizing the people startup community, but just noticing the similarities among us that drive us towards a similar goal of success with that of Everest climbers trying to summit. To outsiders of either community, certain decisions may seem unintuitive, or even outright morally wrong, but sometimes perspective is everything.
We use it for shared notes in our weekly status conference call. Status was great as you could see team members tweaking descriptions of subproject status where they shared work, etc. A lot faster than seeing the notes later or interrupting for something not worth stopping the speaker to correct.

On the fun side, with another group we use it extensively for D&D discussions where we need in-line comments/party-voting, etc. We take live quest notes together and there's all sorts of data being captured there that would be lost or post-merged later.

As Google has implemented the existing Wave, it's a great multi-person brainstorming and note tool. I really do love it for those and haven't found any alternative that works quite as well... we tried it out on a lark and it just became too useful and natural for all sorts of shared tasks.
That's a bit of a problem my friend. I have RSD in my hands, it's going to be 4 - 6 months before I can even begin to think about typing normally again. And probably a good three months after that to get my skill levels back up.

Has any of you know, if you've been away from programming for a long time, like over a year, and go back to it, it could take you quite a while to get your skills back up. And the older you are, the longer it takes.

Just the other day I needed to write a Python program that would go through my PayPal mail, and sum up the total amount of donations I got. It took me more than a day to write it. I cannot believe how rusty I am. I'm having to friggin look up everything.

But I really like programming. I miss it so much. But right now, they also need to focus on writing the book. Thank goodness for such capability programs as MacSpeech dictate. I'm impressed by its accuracy, but sometimes very annoyed when I have to use words that are not in its dictionary, and have to type them out, with my thumbs. When I pressed a finger to keyboard right now, it's excruciating pain. Not so much today, because I had the stellar shots Today. everyone in my postings was done using MacSpeech Dictate, it may have screwed up in places, but I'm too lazy to fix them. Enough said! I'm going to crash, I spent three hours on this forum, answering questions, and hopefully making some clarifications.
I recently got back (almost exactly a month ago) from a month long climbing trip in Nepal with some friends.

We had three guides, all three of whom have climbed Everest multiple times. One of our guides, who has summited 5 times, described Everest as his "bad habit".

As a relative newbie to high altitude mountaineering (the highest I got was ~19,850 feet), climbing in Nepal was really, really hard. You are never warm, the food sucks, camping for long periods at high altitude sucks rather a lot, you are never clean, altitude sickness sucks, pooping in an 8" hole in the ground sucks, not eating much protein sucks, but… the views are spectacular, the people you meet are amazing, the place itself is awe-inspiring, the wildlife is interesting and diverse, the peace of the place is fantastic, and the mountains… well, the mountains are something special.

I can see why some people spend their lives chasing summits, and I can also see why some people, having seen their first summit, turn away from the mountains forever and never come back. While we were in Nepal, within two days of our summit push, our head guide had two friends die. One died on Cho Oyu in an avalanche while traversing a glacier. The other died on a relatively unknown mountain in Tibet. Both were world-class mountaineers. These were people who no mountaineer in the world would accuse of being irresponsible, inexperienced, unprofessional, or, even, unsafe. They were serious mountaineers with long resumes and respected records.

That said, exploration is always a serious business, and when you're out at the sharp end, sometimes you get cut. Without these people, however, and the part of humanity which they represent, we would never expand our experience of what it is to be human and our knowledge of the space around us.

Even with Mount Everest, where the experience has been honed to the point where there are professionals whose entire job it is to make sure clients make it to the top… it's friggin' hard. Having been to nearly 20k feet, I have nothing but respect for people who can make it to 29,029 feet. Climbing that far is hard, no matter how you do it. I can only imagine the feeling of being on top of the world, and quite frankly I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge, personally, of tackling Mt. Everest. I will certainly never make fun of anyone who has climbed that mountain.

Given the difference in oxygen between where I got to and the top of Everest, I don't think I can comment on the impairment of cognitive facilities climbing Mount Everest imparts. However: there's a good reason most responsible climbs leave a controller in radio contact from base camp or Camp 1 in charge of final decisions. Oxygen deprivation is a serious impediment to rational decision making.

So, yeah, go ahead and don't climb where you don't feel comfortable. Just don't go judging those who do without having done a high climb yourself.
You've probably been reading C++ material. Only in C++

int f();

and

int f(void);

are identical.

In C, however,

int f();

Declares a function taking any number of arguments. In C++, that would be denoted as

int f(...);

Which is unfortunately a syntax error in traditional C as the ellipsis is only allowed following some explicit parameters. (It's not that big a deal; you'd have to

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif

in the header of the C library for C++ compatibility anyway (to prevent function name mangling and thus link errors), so you can #ifdef the () and (...) too.)

FWIW, C++ does support the legacy

int f(void);

syntax, but its use is discouraged except for headers which are also to be used for C code.
Have you read Blind Descent? One of the things that most struck me was that cave diving is more dangerous, fatality-rate-wise, than space exploration.

Just what I was going to say. The form is split into 2 sections, one for account information, the other for billing. The "Tips" checkbox is in the billing section!

Caller ID is really important for me. Unless I know who is calling I will probably ignore my phone. Spoofing the phone number of the actual business would be really handy and greatly increase the chance that I take the call.

I can't tell from the site whether one can do this without signing up for an account but if it's not a feature yet I would seriously consider it.
Good comment about the level playing field.
Open source doesn't essentially make the code more secure. But if Random Joe Hacker discovers an exploit, there is a big chance he'll brag about it, report it, or at least it eventually makes its way to the developers.
On the other hand, if the source code is restricted to governments and security agencies, discovered exploitable bugs will be made part of some country' arsenal of "cyber weapons".
They will neither get fixed nor reported. That's very scary.
Open source doesn't fully solve this problem (agencies can still discover 'secret' bugs), but at least Joe Hacker has the same chance of finding them. This increases the chance they will actually be fixed significantly...

He mentions, among other things,studies in ESP as falling prey to this mysterious "well it worked the first time" syndrome.

Now maybe the other examples are more credible, but mixing bullshit like ESP in doesn't help your case at all.
Responding to your edit:

EDIT: I think I need to clarify, I'm thinking more that startup COMPANIES are like everest climbers, trying to reach profitability/success. And then we can similarly say "[The internet] is littered with dead, exposed bodies [of startups]"

Ok, granted, but there the difference is even more important: companies are not people. They are legal persons, perhaps, but they do not deserve the human empathy from us which humans deserve.
As far as the Sherpas go, they are born into the mountains. It's their world. They scale the mountains because that's what they know how to do best. It's their way of life (just like your way of life might be being an entrepreneur).
Yes, well you couldn't get the Java(TM) seal of approval but there is nothing saying you couldn't make your own "seal of approval". Fork Java, create your own Test Compatibility Kit, and start approving implementations. Done.

May, might, could, Apache and Google have lawyers who can provide a much better answer to that question if they're asked (and paid) to do it. Even if the odds are less than even, if people really believe that Java is dead under Oracle, they will risk a lot for a chance to salvage the massive investment that thousands of companies and thousands of open-source projects have made in Java.

I think it's ok to leave dead bodies on the mountain to make your ascent, but not ok to leave someone who could possibly be saved. Taking any substantial risks to the living to recover bodies is completely unacceptable -- Everest is as good a grave as any.

I wouldn't take the 4% risk of death from climbing Everest at all just to be #50 in a single climbing season, though. I'd be willing to accept a 50% risk of death to be the first person on Mars.
tl;dr This guy pooped in a 8" hole.
Articles like this are very suggestive - of course while in the warm, in front of the computer everyone would try to rescue the poor climbers. However add difficult terrain, height, snow, fatigue and race with the clock and you have wholly different story. Consider how much effort is needed to transport someone by Mountain Rescue teams in lower mountains (<4000m) - teams of 2-5, lot of ropes, pullies and special transport stretchers.

Even seasoned climbers admit that you are pretty much solo on the high mountain. The strongest ones with highest morals have even tried helping some other party at these altitude but with very little effect. The moral choice is hard - would you put your life at very high risk just to attempt rescue with very little probability?
Bullshit. I work at a .NET shop who had to interoperate with another company developing WSDL based webservice in Java. They could do a whole bunch of stuff that we weren't able to do because Visual Studio didn't support all the stuff that they could do with their open tools (case in point: field level encryption - supported in Visual Studio Pro 2005 but none of later versions of VS that we use)

Our Pad printing services (also pad-printing or padprinting) uses a thick silicone pad to transfer the image to be printed from a photo-etched pad printing plate (or cliché), inked via a doktor blade system or inkcup, to the surface of the product or part to be decorated, also called the substrate.

“F*** You” from the Music Industry
My relatives sometimes ask whether I'm 'still doing that mountain climbing thing?'. I'm pretty sure they think that this is what I'm up to.

I'm sure I'd fall in love with high altitude mountaineering (all other aspects of climbing are so addictive that it follows) but I've always made a point of staying away. The statistics are all there to see. I'll stick with the rocks, thank you.

My personal rule is that if it's cold enough that I'm tempted to put a shirt on, it's too close to mountaineering and it's time to move south.
At 31, I've found that I've had sufficient opportunities to learn from the experience of screwing up to screw up less than in my 20s. I'm also fairly certain that the difference between success and failure is not screwing up enough for it to kill you.

> There isn't really a suitable successor that does what Java really does. It was low-enough level to have decent performance and high enough level to be used to quickly do some complex stuff with some runtime protection.

There was such a successor before Java even existed: ML. It is safer, and current free implementations are at least as fast (and they have a C FFI). The catch is, programmers need to recognize that "OO" is little more than a brand, then see that despite it's "FP" branding, ML implements the underlying principles just as well (if not better).
Not unless you have a specific use case to address. In my experience the average user is pretty unimaginative about applications of general computing tools.

I don't do anything spectacular, but I've learned not to expect much of my pictures when I do strenuous (for me) backpacking. Show people pictures of the view, wildlife, etc., and they say, "Wow!" "Beautiful!" "Oooh, I'm so jealous!" Show them pictures of me posing proudly on a peak with a beautiful view behind me, and they say, "Gosh, you look so tired!" "You look miserable! Was it worth it?" "Why do you do that? I'd rather go to the beach."

So I stopped showing people those pictures :-/
