There are quite a few visual glitches and inconsistencies that would make me skip over this project right away when evaluating options. I kinda enjoy spotting such issues in UIs, so here we go:

- Roboto font is being loaded, but a local font is used; I'd definitely prefer Roboto

- The search box on the dashboard is vertically misaligned next to the button and the space between the placeholder and bottom line is way too big

- The dashboard grid view is not ideal, a masonry would be great or some other strategy to avoid so much blank space

- The progress bars on the bottom of the dashboard look glitched when compared to the top of the dashboard

- The labels on the side bar buttons with the icons should be aligned i.e. the icons should have the same width

- Text on the (secondary?) pink color on the tables pages should be white, otherwise the contrast is too low

- The footer is floating in the air when the content isn't long enough

- The resizing effect of the top bar is useless and distracting, it should probably only be used when the bar position is fixed

- The navigation sidebar does simply not exist in a narrow browser window making the site impossible to use

My answers would be that we're arguing over statistical noise.

I take what I consider to be the simplest explanation in the absence of a credible alternative, that prayer does nothing when the recipient is unaware of it.

I take that view because I've never heard an alternative explaination that didn't appear to break the second law of thermodynamics.
> Gimp, which is unusable for professional work

That which is asserted without evidence may be dismissed wihlthout evidence - or, in terms which may be more paletable to some: lol, no u.

I use it every day for professional work, so, yeah no.

> 100,000 hours spent on programming the underlying features, 0 hours on actually making it usable.

Clearly you meant to say "0 hours spent learning it" there, right?
Since you mention it, you might be safer off just filming it. Dashcams arent legal in my jurisdiction either due to privacy concerns but people still use them.

What sounds like a crazy exaggerated joke(ok it is), there were actually cases where this happened and prevented people from being sentenced as rapists. The Gina-Lisa Lohfink case in Germany for example. The sex tape is arguably what saved these men from jail. An especially disconcerning part however is that the allegations were made after the video surfaced. So even with video proof it was a matter for a court with experts being called in to interpret the video.
They definitely taste different if wasabi is fresh chopped.
Different family situations can surely impact how much time you have to do OSS. One partner might always be working on weekends whilst another is always free during the weekend.

Also if you get a divorce, you might not really be up to working on OSS for some time, which is probably part of changing wives. :P

TalkScript Episode 49: Beyond JavaScript – Time Zones, Gesture Recognition
For safety you should always park so you drive out of your parking spot. If you back out you risk that you don't see some kid walking right behind your car. Particularly if when you live a couple trucks/vans have parked next to you so there is no way to see if there is anything else coming and you have to guess.
I’ve mentioned this in other threads on music streaming, but VLC is the center of my music world. The feature that lets you spawn a web server from the mobile app to easily transfer files from a laptop is incredible, so easy that literally my grandma used it to put some old recordings on her phone (and knows VLC is the “recordings app”).

I want to pay music artists better for their work than what I can with streaming apps, and I also want my entire library available offline on all devices.

VLC makes it not just possible, but easy and fun.
> The recent Emmy awards are evidence that old school broadcast/cable tv with commercials is dying quickly.

Not especially. And in the UK Sky, who are the biggest pay TV company, are not showing any significant subscriber churn in their pay TV operations. Not much growth either to be fair, but dying quickly seems a huge overstatement.
> The most common tape is LTO-7, which is 6 TB (non-compressed). The most common Blu-ray disks store 50 GB, so a tape equals 120 discs, not 50.

I was being conservative and using BD XL.

Seems like you came to the same conclusion about the break-even point—around 150TB before you consider replication.
How to Enable IPv6 in Applications
To the other response I can’t reply to - WeWork is also benefitting tremendously from all of the new build outs. Like hotels, condos, and apartments even the cheaper ones are nice when they are shiny and new. 10 years out, they aren’t going to look very good. The front loaded growth could be very damaging to their brand in the long term because of this.

I’m not sure exactly how all of those contracts look with landlords, but someone is going to need money to spend to maintain them. If not, the person with brand new build outs is going to look more attractive.

Now, maybe I’m wrong and run down office spaces don’t matter. Uber drivers all used to wear suits and their cars were pristine. Even UberBlack cars have holes in the seats and transmissions in poor condition. Uber is vastly largely today than it used to be. So that could be the trick, WeWork at scale but more as a necessity than anything else. If that is the case, then it is more a question of how much extra space other sorts of businesses, like coffee shops, want to keep free for customers.
How do the developers that work on VLC get paid?

Unrelated, I found this statement (probably a mis-quote by the journalist) amusing:

> Because it was done as a student project, it is a very modular program and it is very easy to add a new feature.

So many people have found it challenging to make complex software modular and easy to add new features -- turns out, all we need to do is get students to create the projects, and then they'll be so! :)
They sort of do though. As hyperpallium alluded to above, the trick is to vastly overestimate the time required, then let Parkinson's law take up the slack.
As a cardiologist, this is also my perception (that you can’t assign causality to wasabi here).

Not bad to put out a case report, since if there is truth here, this could spur future knowledge. But it seems unlikely that wasabi was causal compared to, say, the wedding itself.

I don't think one should be able to hide data from the proper authorities if they are properly authorized by law, but one should be able to hide it from non law enforcement. Browser history deleting and such are a reasonable accommodation of the latter. I guess Wikileaks violates this rule, but they don't care about violating people's privacy unless they're corrupt politicians.
Similar groups in various other arctic locations throughout the globe have abuse and suicide rates that are only marginally lower. Further the greatest number of victims are youth.

Living like it's the 1700s only works if you aren't aware that the rest of the world exists. Put youth in very remote locations and teach them that maintaining a lost culture is their most important reason for existing -- but they're aware of a wide world that will embrace them [^1] yet they're told that it reviles them -- and it has to be pretty self-defeating. Add horrendous weather most of the year, harsh conditions, and it just isn't conducive to happiness.

^1 - Aboriginal racism comes up a lot, and rightly so. But it's often a stereotype of reserves and remote communities (one very sadly backed by data -- if you live near a reserve, property crime is likely significantly higher than if you didn't), and not about a peoples. Canada is a very multicultural society and any of these people would be just another shade in Canada, but because of the clutching to the "old ways", much as if I was wearing a Kilt and trying to raise sheep, it's tough to do and these youth bear the burden of their ancestors more than most of us do.
My trackpad stopped clicking one morning and I was worried that maybe battery expansion was keeping it from being pressed down.

This assumes the court system is infallible though when we know it is not. Plus, I can see something like this deterring actual victims from coming forward.
As a reaction to a system where literally thousands of women's rape kits are not tested for years due to a combination of mismanagement, underfunding and understaffing, as well to structural issues such as male police officers not taking sexual assault accusations seriously or subjecting victims of assault to traumatizing questioning with no care about their mental well-being.

Back then, the status quo was "if you're a woman and you got raped, good luck getting justice".

Though again, with the cost of the drive you need quite a lot of data for it to make sense.
To a certain extent, the problem is low wind conditions can occur over very large areas, so the overprovisioning has to include plants built far away from one another with long distance interconnectors. Overprovisioning is more relevant for seasonal variations in solar in my opinion.
It has a steep learning curve, true.

I personally like sharing `interface.cs` rather than what appears very similar `interface.proto` plus a bunch of tooling.

The longer your career the more you see people's employment being terminated for a variety of reasons.

I'd say the primary reasons I have had to let people go (not in any specific order) are:

1. Repetitive performance issues, and the inability to find them a good home in the company where they would succeed.

2. Poor Attitude or bad team fit.

3. Inability for the person to grow with the organization which typically leads to being a bad team fit as the company grows.

4. Lack of funds

I don’t understand how the async/await syntax changes anything. It’s really just syntactic sugar used to manipulate promises isn’t it?
If you leave after 12 months and one day, you keep a quarter of your initial stock grant.

Assume the stock grant was 48,000 if you have after the day after you completed 12 months, you get to keep 12,000 shares not 24,000.

In terms of taxes, you have to file an “83b election” with the IRS to prevent being liable for “paper wealth” that’s not really cash

Technically you are granted all 48,000 shares at a nominal value like .00001 and the company has the automatic right to buy back the shares you do not vest at that same nominal value
I kinda get your argument, but I look at my 2015 MBP, and I don't really wish it was thinner. I wish it'd had upgradable RAM and better battery life, and right now I especially appreciate that it has a replaceable SSD because it just gave out.

These are all things I care about that are being sacrificed by Apple to improve one aspect I don't care about (thickness).

I'm definitely not the only one who's thinking that, as evidenced by the comment threads here.
Yeah, but the effects can be the same as those of extreme emotional stress, i.e. you start crying...

This was a legitimate question. If it turns out it's pretty useless without an iphone (that is not clear to me, hence the question) then that's another consideration. Something from Garmin (or the other competitors) will work fully regardless of what mobile phone / computer you've already invested in.
It's probably not very helpful but certain problems are just too hard for me or I've never seen them before :) I don't have a deep background in data structures and algorithms, so most of the jobs I get are more like for very small companies that just want a guy to stand a bunch of libraries on top of each other and make a cool crud app with a "modern" interface.

It's a very different experience from an org with 100 or more engineers. Good luck on your project!
Needs to be deindexed at the news sites too. No use removing from Google if I can just go to bbc or YourHometownNewspaper and find the trivial but incredibly embarrassing thing, or old offence gwd did when younger.

Some countries have the concept of spent convictions or rehabilitation, especially restrictive around minors. After some number of years the conviction no longer exists, unless you want to join the police or similar. It's not reasonable for these to crop up for trivial effort.

If you get super rich and famous and have a tabloid digging dirt, well they might just send an intern to dig through 30 years of back issues... Not really a lot you can do about that.
I'd attribute that to storytelling, there's not much interesting about expanding on the technical details, but there's plenty to embellish from the interactive moments.

Commercial JDKs do pay off, so much that many of the commercial AOT compilers (since around 2000) are still in business, although with the ongoing support on OpenJDK that might change a bit (ExcelsiorJET just gave up).

JIT and GC algorithms to the level done by JVM implementations don't come up with all nighters and weekend programming scratching an itch, and those software engineers need to be payed accordingly.

So if others have a problem with Oracle, maybe they could compensate for the fact that Oracle employees still do 90% of Java development and OpenJDK related work.

At this point their products are thin enough. There really isn't a need to go any further.

You're right it was the comment you replied to that framed the discussion as the technology broadly and not you. I incorrectly attributed the broad brush stroke to you.
Right; the word "relativity" comes from the concept that the laws of physics should be consistent in all frames of reference. That concept -- i.e., that when you're on a moving train, you toss a ball up and catch it, and it's the same physics as if you're standing still -- people seem to "get" quite intuitively.

What's weird about Relativity is that our experience leads us to expect that things like distance, mass, and time will be the same in every frame of reference. Instead, what's apparently the same in every reference frame is "how fast light appears to travel"; and that distance, mass, time actually warp to cause this law to be true.

I see nothing wrong with asking guests to leave, and honestly not that much with expelling students as there are plenty of universities out there. At my local university I am attending I recently completed a mandatory course on plagiarism and it would supposedly dish out the following punishments:

-Failing you from classes you are in with 0 refund.

-Permanent mark on your academic transcript you supposedly can't escape.

-Having to report to future employers you plagiarized.

Which is essentially asking guests to leave and utterly destroying half a decade of their lives and tens of thousands of their dollars in many cases. This is the part I take issue with. The dollar store you shoplifted from according to one "witness" has now come into your house, took all the groceries in it, and beat up your fridge.

It's a very long title, which in full is "NASA's Recommendations to Space-Faring Entities: How to Protect and Preserve the Historic and Scientific Value of U.S. Government Lunar Artifacts", already 65 over the limit. It's also a pdf (although the link goes to its info page) and from 2011. Don't know how to best shorten the title.

I find it interesting to read since it's a mesmerizing topic, you can glean some interesting facts from it (eg how lunar top soil acts), and just by the fact that NASA has done this is very cool. It's interesting in a similar way to finding the service manual to some obscure tech.
