I am a Data Scientist with Relationship Management experience. From prior work experience, I am accustomed to the rigors of working in fast-paced, highly regulated environments that require sharp attention to detail, consummate accuracy and outstanding communication skills. Some of the skills I possess include Python, machine learning and identifying strategic goals and growth opportunities through in-depth analysis. I am adept at aligning projects and company objectives with client goals to ensure optimal satisfaction. By adding me to your staff, you will gain a diligent, goal-oriented professional with the dedication and focus required to successfully fulfill any role.
This is Yegge's over-the-top style of humor, none of these are actual quotes from the email.
That's exactly the point: a version number <1.0 is the universal signifier for "this isn't ready to be a daily-driver yet". If that doesn't apply to PuTTY, it's a (minor) failure of communication.
The story references two recent papers. The other is:

Right, I use a TT-BA08 to plug my cheap cable headphones in (since most new Smarthones ditched the 3.5mm), which connects to another one which is only a sender (and has no volume controls). That sender receives a line-out of a little analog mixer into which a PC and other devices plug in.

This is quite nice, because it allows me to stand up and walk around while the PC continues its audio playback.
The real breakthrough would be to move away from needles. I imagine a great many anti-vaxxers would quietly give up their protest if that were to occur.
I love some of Amazon's executive policies. From what I've read, everyone has to write a multi-page paper before executive meetings, and everyone has to read it, so the meeting goes smoothly with everyone understanding the issues. I hate how no one reads anything in most organizations.
I don't really care about the legal status. I was suggesting that, as a truly independent contractor, you can set your own rates and if you're fulfilling your contract remotely you can certainly choose to charge the same whether you're in SF or a beach in Thailand.
Only if consumers pay any attention to energy efficiency labels. I strongly suspect that with washing machines and dryers, they simply ignore them and look instead at the other features (particularly load size and cycle timing) and the price.
Good to know, thanks. Hope it makes it to GM.
I hear good things about this MCAS thing Boeing is doing. Maybe it's worth copying.
GPLv3 license, so the flexibility of how you can include clang in your own tools won't be available for Ada.
> Interesting how you assume you can dismiss thousands of years of human law / natural law in one sentence.

Human law is relevant to the whether we grant humans rights, the idea that which you took issue with. "Natural law" isn't an argument for really anything. I'm not sure what you think I'm dismissing, but if you have an argument to make, make one. The pearl clutching really doesn't get us anywhere.

> Plants and animals are food for humans. This is a factual statement.

It is. I said exactly that. Humans are also food for humans. That's another factual statement. But you can't conflate descriptive and normative statements, which you seem bent on doing.

> Would be an interesting experiment to put someone in an RV trailer with a cow, plenty of water and no food in an area they couldn't leave. Come back in a month and see what they thought about animal rights.

You could perform the same experiment with two humans - or we could look at instances like the Donner party. What people do in extreme situations to prevent their deaths is interesting, but it's not an argument for what you should do on a daily basis outside of such a situation.

He maybe like me and doesn't like the quality drop of bluetooth depending on the rest of the setup obviously.
How are folks gets multiple offers for software engineer positions??
This is for the folks who interview well and have succeeded in getting multiple offers.I have about 15 years experience in database related roles ( admin/developer/architect/engineer). I've kept my skill set updated. I get a decent amount of interview calls, but have been having a hard time in both the phone and onsite interviews. I can communicate well ( used to do speech/debate in school). What, if anything should I be focusing on?
What was your strategy? How did you prepare?
Before your tangent, I agreed with you.
I don't think what you've written is in conflict with anything I said.

In the case of this person I am referring to, it's been rather self-selecting and he's not in any positions of authority. It's pretty different from Stallman's purported autism-spectrum behavior too.

But it's also important to note that with the right medications, people like the case I'm describing can do better. So I'd like to afford that, while we agree that people don't make great leaders, authorities, communicators in that state or condition, they don't necessarily get there by being bad or totally irredeemable people, help is available to them and we should hope that they find it and stay "on the wagon", to use a metaphor from somewhere else.
If you have WSL installed, I believe it's possible to use the standard Linux serial utilities with a USB-RS232 dongle.

If WSL was not an option, I personally would still use PuTTY
Moreover, the right wing have podcasts, conferences, etc.
People voted for Brexit, sure, but two problems come to mind when trying to use that fact as support for crashing out of the UK:

1) People did not, when voting, stipulate what sort or Brexit they wanted, but they were promised an orderly exit with a great deal that would preserve the benefits of EU membership. And in polls since then, they have overwhelmingly said they do not want no-deal. This places the democratic path firmly on the side of "let's get a deal done the right way." Though with no majority agreeing on "the right way" is a problem, it's one for democratic compromise to solve, and that can take time.

2) Appealing to the 2016 will of the people ignores the fact that democracies don't vote one and never ever ever touch on the same topic again. In fact there are votes every few years so that, if people change their minds, that can be reflected in government. Personally I think going back on Brexit at this point would be bad for the UK as a society, if not so much as an economy, but there's nothing undemocratic about people saying, "I made a choice, I've since learned a little more about it and don't like it anymore. Let's vote to see if enough people feel the same way."
Some things are beyond the pale. Actions, and opinions, have consequences.

This has always been the case, and I don't think it's a bad thing - there should be limits to tolerance, and those limits are defined by harming other people, or advocating their harm. I would hope a vocal majority would oppose a racist white nationalist like Yarvin.
s15 seems to be skewed by a bunch of JavaScript projects including Font Awesome, which stores the bathtub icon as s15.js for some reason (note that s1 through s14 are unused, so it's not just consecutive numeric ids). https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/bath

Plain 15 is trickier. GitHub's search is too fuzzy to see a pattern at a quick glance, but again it seems that JavaScript is the culprit with a disproportionately high number of filename:15 results compared to filename:14 or filename:16.

That page doesn't say banned, it says most of them never had it in the first place. (It also indicates that the multi-use flu shot vials still have it, which further refutes the 'banned' wording.)

The likely reason it was removed from those that did have it was "people are making a fuss about it, why not remove the ammo even if it's harmless?"
> ... German and French vs. Dutch

The original claim was "it will be illegal to have voluntary firefighters."

> maybe the German and French volunteer firefighters are organized in such a way that there is no problem?

I sincerely doubt it. Particularly because those concerns apparently were raised in both France and Germany. Anyway, if you can find some evidence that this is the case, please feel free to share.
Except that's not at all what happened. The plain language of the 2nd amendment is quite clearly and accurately explained by Scalia in Heller. He took no "white out" to it, he explained what anyone without a political agenda has always known the 2nd amendment meant.

You're afforded the luxury of not doing that now, if you like. For the entirety of our evolution we did not have that luxury. Every primitive culture pre agriculture ate meat whenever they were successful at the hunt.

I can't believe someone downvoted this. Show me one counter example, I dare you.
The real difference is that in Normal mode, you have a very complete set of commands bound to each key that either move the cursor from an absolute perspective, relative to current position, or relative to syntax structure. There are also commands that create a selection to transition you into Visual mode (which is cursor selection) with a given syntax block already selected. Finally, all of these commands can be multiplied out `4w` to move four words ahead instead just one word ahead.

The real power of these is twofold. First you can build muscle memory that lets you move around a text file, precisely select text, and edit the text as fast as you can think. Secondly, all of the commands used to edit text can be recorded into a macro, letting you systematically and repeatedly edit text in a way more powerful than find and replace with high-level regex support (which vim and emacs also have). An example macro could be jump to the next define keyword, then jump to the next set of parenthesis (which would typically be a function parameter)and then reverse the parameters of the function. This macro can be repeated to reverse the parameters of every function in a file, as well as in many files in your workspace. This is fast editing of the semantic structure and convention in a workspace. While this is a contrived example, This editing functionality is very useful for many tasks like re-arranging the structure of each object in a large JSON document to fit to a new schema, refactoring code as well as any task that requires automating many repeated edits. Other editors and IDEs have macro functionality, but without the composable structural editing commands in vim (these are also in emacs) you don't quite have the same kind of power. These kind of edits would otherwise need to be done by a separate script, but the interactivity of NORMAL mode commands and macros let you know that it works for one case, repeat the macro individually and check each case as you go to make sure that it worked, and then edit the macro if the command macro needs to be modified for new structures.

Edit: I forgot to mention that normal mode is also very fast and simple which is much more convenient than CTRL-P for a command. 'w' for moving to the next word. 'b' for moving to the previous words. The command chaining is also relatively consistent for editing as well with 'ciw' for 'change inner word' to select the entire word the cursor is on delete it and then enter insert mode and 'ci('for the same but selecting all the text within the first set of parenthesis that contain the cursor. Many vim emulation plugins don't even feature these commands and only have basic modes and hjkl cursor movement.
Hi, anti-vaxxer here. It's never really been about "the mercury". Its about having a perfectly normal child that suddenly "regresses" after shots, be it through autism, sudden seizures, new allergies, or even death.

Don't take my word for it, the inserts themselves state most of the risks[0] from death all the way to shedding live bio-engineered virus onto the immunocompromised (so much for that argument). Plus part of the deal that the government had after removing vaccine manufactures for any liability for injury or deaths was to have a "database" of reported injuries for the public to analyze the safety for themselves[1]

So you see, we are not crazy, we are people that have children and we research what we believe is best for them. Following one's conscious is a one of the ideas allowed by our founding fathers. This image sums it up best: https://i.imgur.com/PdsJLLD.png

Oh good point about the lock file, hadn't thought about that. Will there be a compelling reason to rewrite stuff using async/await? I get that it will be the right way going forward but curious about the benefits for legacy stuff.

> The Viet Cong and Taliban are obviously superior than the average American citizen. But I doubt that their respective victories were because of their military prowess.

The VC were utterly crushed, leading the NVA to get more directly involved in the South rather than using them as a catspaw. To the extent that the combined operation had success (which it clearly did) it was because of the NVA—a regular army—and the backing they had even further up the Communist food chain.

LeanTaaS | Software Engineer, Data Scientist, DevOps Engineer, QA Engineer, Product Manager, Product Designers, Data Analyst | Charlotte, NC OR Santa Clara, CA | Onsite | Fulltime

We're hiring backend Python and Java developers, frontend Angular developers, QA engineers, data scientists, data engineers and more. Job openings can be filled in Santa Clara or Charlotte, NC.

https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/leantaascom

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at hireme@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our team includes successful entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers and data scientists from Google, LinkedIn, Apple, Symantec MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Google, McKinsey, and more. We've raised $55 million to date from top tier VCs in Silicon Valley. CBInsights recently named us among the top 100 AI companies in the world.

On the data engineering side, our stack is Airflow/Python. On the web services side, our stack is Java/Play and Angular 2/Typescript. There's also Python/Flask products. We're fully cloud hosted on AWS and leverage modern tooling and automation to produce high quality code - and we ship every week!

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.
MobaXterm's colored terminals have saved my bacon more than once. Great app.
Possibly they haven't "yet" actually allowed for them because the regulation isn't "yet" actually in force?
I'm guessing that is done to prevent people from overstaying their visa.

I strongly believe that Steve was exaggerating for effect here. In my 17 years at Amazon I have never seen or heard of a threat of this nature. The overall intent of the email was to tell teams to decouple, decentralize, and to own their own destinies.
Let me get out my back of the envelope for some quick and inaccurate calculations ;-)

There are 10.3 kWh of energy in a litre of Jet A1 fuel.

Let's assume (generously I think) that the process is about 50% efficient, so it takes ~20 kWh of electricity to make a litre of Jet fuel.

Assuming (amortized) solar power is the same cost as grid power ~$0.1/kWh then to make your litre of fuel costs 20 *0.2 = ~$2/litre

According to my research Jet A1 costs about ~$0.50/litre.

So this is a way off at the moment, however if there was tax on fossil fuels for aviation then this could be competitive.

The reason games don’t feel physical is not because of which senses are being stimulated, it’s how they are stimulated.

If the game is just waiting for your hand to enter a bounding box, that’s a 0-dimensional interaction, which feels like nothing. If you could hear your fingers getting close to things, and see the angles between your body and other surfaces, sense through visual texture the relationship your body has with different fields, you would register those things a “physical” experiences.

Touch doesn’t feel like touch because it’s your fingers, it feels like touch because it’s rich and continuous and textured and perfectly grounded in body-space.

You can make proprioaudiovisual experiences like that too, it’s just hard and there are easier ways to make video games that make money.

The science is clear that our brains don’t care which sense data comes from, they just care about the structure of the data.

Although there are anatomical structures that make some senses better at processing one structure than another, they don’t prevent the brain from using those senses for other schemas, if the environment demands it (injury, prosthetics, etc)
