I think there is room for this to be two documents if a project is large enough - one which resides inside source control which explains the design and how it works, and one which is external (sometimes managed by corporate level document control) which explains the "so what", including top level requirements and so forth.

These could be just one document if the project is small enough.
To answer the last, at this point, you install (or have preinstalled) AV to comply with enterprise IT policies.
What do you want me to say? That you're going to heaven by taking the bread out of poor black people's mouths in order to help Hondurans? I don't think it works that way. You aren't making any personal sacrifice whatsoever here. You're just hectoring people about neighbor-loving while you get rich and they get poorer.

And if your interest in immigration is especially asylum law, I would be extremely worried about the people now deploying asylum fraud as a mass immigration wedge. It's going to wind up hurting the people who need it the most, and in fact already has.

Given an unrelated choice, they have unchosen and unwanted consequences of having to deal with an asshole. Play word games all you want, but the average person understands the meaning here.

They do not want to deal with the asshole. That's what is meant here. Not an analysis of all the history and choices that led to them to this moment in their life. This is not difficult to understand.

I don't know what point you're trying to make. That they should care for their son less so that their life is a little easier? Because that is what it's sounding like. Or maybe you're just being a pedantic asshole yourself.
Yeah, that's what was meant. Totally agreed with the statement above this one, it reads well.
This is a good example of a general rule of thumb I learned, if you need to do something once or twice do it by hand, but if you do something three or more times make it a function! Looks like Dota 2 updated their spells a few more than 3 times ;)

That 2-year transition period only applies in case of Brexit according to the negotiated deal.

In the absence of a deal it was always made clear that freedom of movement would end immediately or as soon as practical.

See [1] (published in January) about immigration in case of no deal Brexit.

Yes it does, because these are predictions about future events and thus cannot (yet) be true or not true.

The civil service has previously published reports like this. They turned out to be totally wrong. There's a serious and important element of cry wolf here, especially because the previous cabinet that the report was written for were working against leaving. Lots of stuff coming out in recent weeks about how ministers were saying they were preparing and ready to leave without a deal but actually blocking attempts to prepare and telling foreign leaders they'd never leave.
I personally find this _way_ less readable at a glance.

Every argument you make against using switch statements I would make against doing this as well.

When you consider the semantics of the statements, using switch statements for this makes more sense than chaining ternary statements. Chained ternary statements is just a less readable if/else chain. Personally, if one of my guys chained a ternary like this I would immediately fail the PR.

IMHO at least.
Politics and ignorance, the usual culprits
If you use Windows, use Windows Defender. It doesn't MitM your connections and has a comparable detection rates for 0days and common malware to all other modern AVs. Microsoft has put a lot of work into making Defender as secure as possible (you can even run it inside a VM so any exploit of defender is just trapped inside a HyperV VM instead of your system).

There is no point in installing any other AV vendor; they all suck, their software sucks, they ask way more than it's worth (nothing) and they frequently break security measures of software all over the ecosystem (some AVs still disable ASLR/KASLR to make injecting their DLL into all processes easier)
> Software has characteristics that make it hard to build with traditional management techniques; effective development requires a different, more exploratory and iterative approach.

Or the management techniques considered “traditional” are overlooking a century of iterative development outside of software. See Deming.
The next sentence suggested that the cause of the problem in this probably hypothetical situation might be “a cronjob kicking off and hogging disk IO for a few minutes”.

So in that case, I guess either run the job with a lower priority and see if that helps, or execute the job more often so it doesn’t have to catch-up all at once one time per week, or rewrite it so that it performs I/O with smaller chunks of data at a time and sleeps for a little while in-between reading or writing chunks of data. Basically, do something so that you no longer have this one huge job consuming all of the IO bandwidth for several minutes every week.

That’s a very loose definition of the word “evade” and the headline is definitely misleading. The average person was probably expecting to find some sort of censorship evasion while current being censored.
Sure, if all the code you write and call into (OSS etc) is fully RAII then you're good. When I last did C++ for real, lots of code out there didn't meet that standard, not in the least libraries and vendor software, so more experienced programmers than me taught me to be better safe than sorry.

At the bottom of that article it says:

I wonder if that accounts for the differences?
True. But in his defense, once you want to put text on the screen, you’re already using implementation defined behavior. Like I said in another reply, the character to memory location mapping is different between for instance the C64 and the Apple //e.

The Apple //e would have had a text scrolling function in ROM.
CNAME would just resolve `www.` as `.`. Browsers and search engines would still need to be instructed to use the non www. address.

> who could distinguish between a startup - or an internal new project - with a 1.5% success rate versus a 15% success rate?

But if we can't distinguish the results, do they really matter? After all, the whole point of changing how we work is to get a measurably better result. If it's not better, why change? (of course, assuming there's a positive effect at all). Something cannot be at once very important and unnoticeable.

> To my mind the most compelling case: WhatsApp apparently did succeed with an order of magnitude fewer developers than comparable companies - and the industry responded with a collective shrug.

A shrug? You can draw a straight line from that to the work I'm doing now in OpenJDK, at the very heart of the mainstream. I know that because WhatsApp's technical success is partly how I sold the idea. Similar efforts are taking place in most other mainstream software platforms. We very much took notice, and we were very much convinced, and that's why we're doing what we're doing. And the contact we've had with the world's biggest software companies and software-dependent companies (including your own employer) about this work shows us that they've taken notice as well.
"It’s obvious that the police will want a device that produces more convictions, no point in disputing that."
Uh, why couldn't we talk about it as adults? OP's answer below is excellent. Police want a device that will make their job most effective and profitable, with the lowest margin not only for legal repercussions, but also the lowest possibility of people like you deciding that all police officers are pure evil who just want as many convictions as possible. Doesn't everybody want their job to be like that? BLM has made some good progress (and more is needed yet) scaring some pure evil people who happen to be police officers into wanting what's good and right. Probably not prudent to worry about a new technology that might be oversensitive, especially when the first time this thing is used in a conviction by a person with a rich dad, they'll spend as much as possible throwing doubt on the research supporting it, or how the officer was trained to use it, or etc etc etc, in order to build plausible deniability in court and get the case thrown out.

Opsless is pretty good. Function as a service (FaaS) is what my preference is. It seems every time something about serverless comes up on the forum, there's the inevitable "but there are servers" comment.
Except the Tesla isn't a "really great car".

The Model 3 is basically an upscale take on a page out of the FCA playbook. It's a straight line rocket with a middle of the road interior crowned by a massive touchscreen.

Don't get me wrong, there's definitively something to be said for that but Tesla does not make good all around vehicles.

Tesla make vehicles that excel at a few things and are mediocre in most other regards. If they were great all around vehicles upper class suburbanites would be buying them as general daily drivers instead of task specific cars (commuting in this case), a market segment currently filled by the station wagon/crossover/small suv spectrum. For reasons that are outside the scope of this comment, I think Tesla is wise to build sedans for upscale buyers rather than enter the crossover and compact car free-for all.
The vintage term is "guilt trip."

We often miss all the ways animals right here on Earth try to get our or each other's attention.

A truly alien species might communicate in ways we cannot even detect, or think of detecting, like say magnetic fields or some other medium that almost nothing on Earth uses.

Furthermore, even if they used the same "channels" and frequencies as us, their minds may just be too different. Even fundamental concepts like time and numbers or the notion of self may be perceived too differently by them for their languages to have any convenient analogues to ours.
As per some of the other commentators not too sure what's the hook for the game you're working on?

Big difference is impact of the law.

If it was once 100 years it was also still exponential.
Virgin Media is profit-first, above all else. It's an error to assume that the part of the company that builds out infrastructure is in any way joined up with the part of the company that keeps customers secure (if indeed, they even have people responsible for that, which they apparently don't).

This is why things like GDPR end up being foisted on us. Corporations have proven themselves capable of simply ignoring legislation designed to protect their customers, and simply paying a fine later. They'll secure when it's convenient to them, and not a minute earlier.

You are assuming a whole lot with that one. Even when I have had product people it's very rare that they are connected with the development team and a lot of times they are stacked adversely in a team under 10 people. Bridging the product to dev and back again gap is more than a full time job. More often than that situation I've found that there just isn't a product person. I would like to know where your assumptions find startups that aren't a clusterfuck because I need to check that blog or newsgroup or whatever.
"and the woods that do remain are typically private property"

This is not really true, there are thousands of forests and lands that are public spaces. Whatever the problem is, it's not this.
I'm with your assessment. I was expecting to see more than the minor differences that were reported, which would have made it more interesting and damning to the processing firms. But a headline like "I took nine DNA tests and got approximately the same results" wouldn't have generated so many clicks.
None of this is true! All EU law is automatically implemented in the UK, parliament cannot stop it, and most things are no longer vetoable at the Council level either. What little veto power remains is under attack by the EU itself which wants to move to qualified majority for everything, and that assumes votes actually matter in the EU, when there's lots of evidence that they don't.

The reality is the goal of the EU is to replace national governments. That replacement provides an illusion of democracy but without actually being democratic. Just go read the various statements of the people who control the European apparatus, or witness how the people's primary concerns as measured by opinion polls are simply ignored in Brussels (which does the opposite in fact).
Lol progressive. Imagine Dorsey holding Trump accountable to the same TOS everybody else is supposed to follow.
A real "dirty trick" is reading the actual RAM in memory locations 0 and 1 on the 6510 (and not the I/O port values).
Why do they need to 'kill' Tesla? The long-term potential market for electric cars is presumably large enough for a number of competitors to exist in it. If it isn't, then it's going to be hard for anyone to make money at it.

Rather than the google solution suggested by a sibling comment, I’d suggest a look at send.firefox.com.
The argument from the judge seems to be that if the lawmakers had meant the law to cover both 'traditional' computers and smartphones, they would have written "computers and smartphones" in the text of the law. By excluding the word "phone" from the text of the law and only talking about "computers" the judge interpreted that as the intention wasn't to include smartphones in the law. Basically he's telling the law makers that if they want the law to cover smartphones they should make it clear in the text that that is their intention.
> What a hateful, sexist notion to put in the middle of an otherwise articulate comment.

And yet completely true. I've seen it personally in my parents, in all kids around me growing up, and I can see it among friends/family raising kids these days. Guys are simply much more relaxed, sometimes a bit too much for my taste. Not a single case of opposite situation (this might be extreme experience for whatever reason, but that's my reality)
Many years ago, I worked for a company where we were writing complex distributed telecom software and they had a wiki for documenting the system. I spent a few weeks meticulously documenting everything I did and anything that was touched by it (including defining all of the industry jargon and such). It was a great way to get a quick understanding of any part of the system, but I was the only person keeping it up to date so after a while I ran out of steam and stopped doing it. :(

I've come across the "documentation becomes quickly outdated" argument a lot, but nobody has ever been able to suggest a good alternative. The best I've found is to write design logs for proposed changes (which you then let other team members/stakeholders can review/comment on before it gets implemented) and decision logs for any decisions that are made. This way, them going out of date is expected and ok, as they become a history of ideas and decisions with their context and outcomes laid out. You don't necessarily have a snapshot of "the system right now" but you have a log of all the ideas and decisions that lead up to the current system.
Amazing the things we can learn from kids.
Same guess. The investors either 1) got there principal back with no interest or 2) they still have there money in and it only get a value upon raising money or a sale. Likely it’s #1. Investors didn’t get screwed. They just didn’t win.
I had a pediatrician until I was 18 or 19. I remember that my mother came with me I went to him for a final check-up close to my 18 or 19 years old birthday (along with my 1-2 years old niece lol) as he would not take me anymore afterward. It was a bit odd, especially because it had been a couple of years since I had last been to him, but I enjoyed seeing that his office stayed the very same (very sterile, yet stuffed with of cute teddybears and toys) ever since I remember it.

However, whenever I had a medical emergency, I'd just go to one of the best hospitals around (the one I was born at), not to him. After a certain age, I would go to him mostly for regular check-ups.
>But what if I want to join a startup so I can build out the stack of my dreams while accomplishing whatever business goals are set?

The article would argue that the startup has a higher chance of failing then since you're focusing on what you personally want rather than what the business/customers need. Startups aren't big companies, the business goals are always "get as much of this done as possible as soon as possible" rather than "we need X by Y." You can't execute on the minimum needs of the business and expect success.

>I’m assuming if you _join_ a startup, rather then creating or co-founding one, there’s already a product person on board.

In a traditional company the product people (ie: those who define product and how product interacts with technology) includes engineering management (CTO, VP Eng, etc.). It's not just the people with product in their titles. In a startup, however, there isn't a deep hierarchy so that job falls onto everyone in engineering.

What about London took its toll? I've been contemplating a switch from NYC to London. I know it will be a 30-50% pay cut, but I've been told by other's who have lived and worked in both that it is worth it for the better work/life balance.
Okay, now where does all the demand for these Indian taxi services come from that are actually going to pay for all of these automobile imports? It's not like Uber demand is insatiable. The notion that investing in Uber is going to drive the auto industry (which is completely contrary to the mission of these transportation companies) is an odd one.

I can see that, at the margins, a company can spend money where it thinks it it can receive complimentary benefits. But this idea that you can spend your way into riches is a fallacy.

So, I think we agree on some things, mainly that Japan is printing money and Softbank is a beneficiary and is using that cash to spread around the tech industry. Cheap money. Except I think it will backfire, eventually.

No, the Teslas are behind the Hyundais and the I-Pace in What Car?'s "Real Range" test cycle. Here's a better link:

Tesla is trying to make cars to compete with other makers’ non-electric cars.

Other makers are trying to make cars to compete with Tesla, without competing with their own non-electric cars.

Currently, it is probably impossible to achieve a good profit margin on a mass-market electric car. Battery costs are too high this early in the manufacturing process. Tesla is willing to operate at the bare edge of fiscal viability while they scale… maybe even below viability. Other makers would have to take a gigantic drop in profit to compete with that.
FOSS may have downsides, for instance it's free, but doesn't have iTunes built in.

I consider both of these advantages, but some users don't. I consider the benefits of open source far exceeds the perceived benefits of Apple's Ecosystem.
