Any recommendation I couldn't read about in every top twenty list?

Or are these really the best for LEARNING (VS JOB POTENTIAL)
Per the article, it is not against the laws- under the safe harbor act.

A lawyer could argue that the FISA potential creates a situation where the USA is /never/ a safe harbor, but a third tier IS/Abuse/CST goon question a request for a legitimate type of report from above?
I remember hearing the Russians had a similar satalite IR setup that could actually track our subs in the 1980's, +/- 0.1deg C was claimed.

I would assume that, if the US subsidiary decided to comply, but the UK parent did not want them to, then the UK parent could say "no thanks" and there's nothing the US subsidiary could do.

To punish the parent, the US government could presumably prosecute the US subsidiary for noncompliance and, if successful, shut down all the company's US parts (including US-based domain names like .com) and seize US bank accounts etc.

And maybe even brand them as a terrorist organization since, clearly, if the US government says it's a matter of terrorism, if you don't help them then you're a terrorist (never mind that doing so would involve breaking the law of the UK jurisdiction where you're based).
He does not yell while playing at all. A part of it is that he sees no need nor utility to yell (or cry) in order to get what he wants from me, so he did not learn that he has to yell to achieve it. I do think that children can be loud sometimes but, if it is too often, I would also look for the way to stop them from yelling, even while playing.

And I do agree on the fact that telling lies to your own son is counter-producing. He will learn that you lie and not take into account what you say.
Great idea, but doesnt work properly with the German NEO 2 keyboard layout.
I have to praise Cathay Pacific for their prices of a long-haul ticket (LHR->PER) which was purchased same day as travel. The ticket cost only 1.7x more than the cheapest advance fare. All the other airlines were at least 2-3x the cost of Cathay's. (They also held that seat while I arranged a visa - they were so awesome).
The NYTimes article [about the "Chinese" hack] was content free

I didn't read it that way. I read it as "the crisis of our current economic structure is rooted in demographic trends". One way to avoid problems is to push the fertility up, as discussed in the article. The other way, not discussed there, is to change the economic system. I wouldn't begrudge the author exploring just one possibility out of two, the one he believes to be more likely.

Also, it would be better if you skipped the adhom, and addressed the argument directly. It always leads to a more polite, more constructive conversation, the likes of which we all prefer to see here on Hacker News.

Just one small nit to pick, Xfce uses the project's own window manager, xfwm. Xfce and GNOME have their glib/GTK+ core in common.
Jettisoning ones leg into a door sounds painful. Unless one has a prosthetic, then I must wonder why one is throwing it at a door. Do they not need it to stand?
I tried to picture the solution before scrolling down past the initial block with the nested ifs. It got me thinking about "switch()", as seen in C, C++, and elsewhere. That in turn got me thinking about using an enum to pick up on whatever it is he's trying to do here, and jump to the right place accordingly.

Generically, I had something like this in my head:

switch (row_type) {
case submittable: ...; break;
case checkable: ...; break;
...
}

Then I started realizing that using a switch means you have isolated things such that they can only be one of the n types. It won't ever be submittable AND checkable, for instance. I assume that's what is desired here: mutual exclusivity for all of these possibilities.

Looking back at the original code, I see that by using the nested if/else construct, it effectively gives priority to them in the order in which they are encountered. A row with a submit_button is going to fire off make_submit_cell() whether or not it has checkable set. It trumps the possible call to make_check_cell, in other words.

These two approaches solve two different problems. Without knowing more, it's hard to say whether the "priority" approach makes sense here.

If I had to guess, based on the refactoring which turned it into a series of distinct classes, that sounds like it should have been "pick 1 of n" (one-hot code) all along. If that's so, the if block wasn't just ugly, but it was actually covering up some real problems. It was just asking for trouble in terms of bugs down the road since it allowed nonsensical settings.

But that's just a guess. I could be wrong.
They had the only real lines I saw at any booth during the show, too. (Well, except for the non dairy cheese people giving away free snacks)
While true, when I purchase a book I'm trusting that the author is an expert in the topic. Maybe my expectations are too high.
Most people tend to get unhappy when you start dismissing their knowledge as crap.

Also in this case you are wrong. With a compact notation you can think more complicated thoughts than you can with a verbose one. The downside is that a compact notation requires more from the person reading it. The tradeoff is correct, and the domain expert is not necessarily wrong.

Your domain expertise is maintaining a lot of very precise instructions for a variety of different problems. For you, constant signposts are an assistance. For a domain expert in their domain of expertise, they are overhead.
Could you expand a little on what sort of impact you would like to see the FSF make in this area?

If you consider training to be a measurable value of skill, I am randomly guessing that the above statement is due to the fact that we train our pilots more than any other military?

It doesn't really matter. This isn't a biography or a documentary, this is entertainment. Was THE SOCIAL NETWORK true? No, it was entertaining.

The best you can hope for any biopic is that it won't distort positions unrecognizably far from reality, and perhaps it will inspire someone.

For brimmed hats, the problem in cars (at least in my experience) is not crown-to-roof clearance, but the fact that the brim hits the headrest, forcing you to lean forward uncomfortably (or to squish the brim).

Looking through car advertisements, it seems like headrests became common in the mid-to-late Sixties, after hat-wearing had already started to decline.

I can't remember where I read it but someone in the legal profession pointed out that she'd simply move over to the defense side and capitalize on all that insider experience she gleaned from being a prosecutor. otoh She probably won't ever be the governor of anything.
Look at Japan, they've been getting crushed over the past few decades by low fertility and a disproportionally older population.
I really like RethinkDB, but the lack of a driver for JVM languages (Java, Scala, etc.) is a showstopper for me.
I read that you're revamping your driver architecture and am anxiously looking forward to a JVM driver (more than willing to write a Scala-friendly wrapper - let me know if you're interested).
Competition is good. I'm excited to see what happens.
One of these predicted dire consequences is not like the others:

"Low-fertility societies don't innovate because their incentives for consumption tilt overwhelmingly toward health care. They don't invest aggressively because, with the average age skewing higher, capital shifts to preserving and extending life and then begins drawing down. They cannot sustain social-security programs because they don't have enough workers to pay for the retirees. They cannot project power because they lack the money to pay for defense and the military-age manpower to serve in their armed forces."

I'm surprised the author did not complete the circle of irony and claim we need to project power because of low birth-rate China.
I'm also wondering if there aren't deeply ingrained subconscious feelings about raising children that come from a natural even evolutionary response to crowding in our immediate environment. A species which naturally reduces fertility in response to crowding will be less likely to experience explosive growth followed by terrible crashes as all available food sources are exhausted for mere survival. The fertility rates were really low in the NIMH mice utopia studies when population density was high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Calhoun
In 'Unknown Pleasures,' Peter Hook riffs on Joy Division's fateful tale
yeah, I've got a total of 4 employees (counting me, 3 of us are over 30 hours a week... the other, while a W2, is very, very part time.) and most of my revenue is from my xen hosting business, not consulting, so I get around that. Having more than one employee also vastly simplifies the health insurance situation (though, the affordable care act will change things, it would seem, for one person shops, but I don't have any experience with how well that works.)
I am on this situation, however mine is a masters degree, i almost finished, unfortunately events happened and i could not continue due to financial reasons, does anyone think that this may have seriously hurt my employability? (right now employers ignores me after they see the 2 year gap with nothing to show for)
The New York Times / China Hack: What Really Happened and Who Really Did It?
== Programming sucks nowadays.

There is not even a consensus on what is good in programming! Take a look at other professional cultures: people work extremely hard to develop the skills that everybody else in their profession have. What does a software developer do? Whatever they like on their own, there is no professional culture whatsoever: "Don't give a crap about the humankind's experience, I'll invent everything on my own the way I like".

This is actually unbelievable how different programming is in this aspect from other disciplines. I don't even mentor Junior Developers because of that, as I can't refer to anything authoritative and say "Do it like this" because there is always a bunch of folks that do it the opposite way. There is almost nothing to rely on.

Yes, it's cataloged in Martin Fowler's excellent book Refactoring, Improving the Design of Existing Code in Chapter 9.

I'd recommend the book strongly.
It's a crisis because the ratio of workers to retirees has been almost flipped on its head. by 2030 two individuals payroll taxes (SSI, medicare) are supposed to support each retiree, down froma opstware ratio of about 16 to 1. That means either benefits have to be slashed, or taxes on the employed have to soar. In practice there's a bit of both and more savings from reducing waste, but there's still a big gap to close. The boomers were a big generation, but they had far fewer children than their parents and lived far longer. This is a pattern that has already appeared in many other countries.

You'll see movement on immigration reform this year, because it offers the best way of correcting these imbalances without massive tax hikes or benefit cuts, and and can get us through the hump to a longer-term population equilibrium after 203 or so. See this elegantly-explained summary of the issue: http://www.ssab.gov/documents/immig_issue_brief_final_versio...
I know this is a bit of a me too post but this is something I have thought should exist for years now.

Another benefit this would provide would be that you'd only have to learn one set of incantations rather than forgetting and looking up whatever subsystem it is you're messing with.

For the life of me I don't know why this does not exist yet. I have such a desire for it that I thought long and hard about building something like this myself but balked at the prospect, for yea it is daunting.

There are others as well: LaTeX (TeXLive) has a package system too, and I am sure there are lots more.

Yes, occasionally a group of existing law will be assembled together and approved as a block (this is how the U.S. Code is formed), and then they can tweak with USC from there directly.

Other times they pass the law and it just kind of floats out there, in the "Statutes-at-Large" until some poor legislative assistant decides to/gets told to go consolidate the groups back into appropriate titles of USC (which requires another bill in Congress).

Even when you're making a law which is basically just a diff to the U.S. Code though, the various interactions of each of the changes can be difficult to discern the real meaning of. But on the other hand it's nice to be able to simply fix the broken part of a law without having to do a full rewrite.
Indeed. Plus, the tactical knowledge obtained from fighting so many wars means that not only are there many experienced pilots, but when these pilots retire, they are likely going to train other pilots in their craft.

The US ranks #184 among countries in terms of population density. I don't think your theory is borne out by reality when you consider that lots of other countries have higher fertility rates and much larger cities with greater overall population density.

The (inverse) correlation between life expectancy and fertility rate is quite apparent[1].

Therefore 'pkg_add' needs to be able to hook into 'gem install' and 'gem list' and save you (and me) the bother. And this needs to be solved for apt and yum and homebrew and so on as well. I don't know, something needs to be done definitely.
"I don't believe that it's the trilby antiquated. Pretty much everything bases itself off of this book."

Hardly.

The GoF book is sweet if in this day and age you're still doing Java/C# but if you're programming in a language like, say, Clojure you can throw about 75% of the GoF book into the trash.

pg said to use a Lisp to beat the average and that's what I'm doing. I'm certainly not accepting the status-quo and considering that, say, the "visitor pattern" is a godsend. Most of these "patterns" only make sense in a non-functional and OO language and are only needed because of missing languages concepts (like the lack of high-order function and/or the lack of real macros).
All data that is not under your direct control must be assumed to be immediately accessible by the authorities.

Thinking at the extremes is a really useful thought model because it makes stuff like the above relatively unsurprising. It also modifies one's behavior to protect oneself from the most likely worst case scenario.

Cars didn't always have headrests. They are much more common (maybe even mandatory) is now for safety reasons. Just look at old cars from the 60 and you can see they didn't have headrests.
Another indication that we should seriously pursue life extension and preventing the effects of aging. Overpopulation is unlikely to be an issue, and we really don't want to have a large portion of the population incurring high medical costs and unable to be economically productive.
Whoa, could you elaborate? I'm sure people would love to hear more context for totally rewriting (not second-guessing, just intensely curious).
> I read it as "the crisis of our current economic structure is rooted in demographic trends".

I couldn't have realistically exaggerated their over-the-top way of putting the issue, so I simply quoted theirs.

> I wouldn't begrudge the author exploring just one possibility out of two, the one he believes to be more likely.

In an essay it's always best to address all the options, not just one, even if the author intends to discuss only one of them in depth.

Also, regardless of how we address or analyze the demographic issues, the only truly catastrophic outcome would be continued growth.

> Also, it would be better if you skipped the adhom ...

Not really an ad hominem. To a reader unfamiliar with the WSJ, it's simply context.
I'm not sure why you draw a distinction between biographies, documentaries and entertainment.

The Social Network was not true. I'm pretty sure we would've been just as entertained by the truth.

The best we can hope for is that we learn something from the truth while simultaneously being entertained by it.

I'm not sure when we decided that we must sacrifice everything but the names, of those involved, at the altar of entertainment
This might be fun during the Super Bowl.
I wonder if this could be an opportunity for a non-profit. It seems like it would be reasonably simple to collect the number of forfeitures initiated by prosecutors and the amounts of money they 'collect'. FEAR.org (Forfeiture Endangers American Rights) might be a good place to start. What about a Kickstarter to fund it? Imagine getting an auto-tweet every time a prosecutor made a forfeiture. What I loathe about forfeiture is that the Govt. does not need to get a conviction. They'charge' the property directly and if you can't afford to fight it they win.

Yes, I agree, but that doesn't address the population-growth issue, it only relocates it. I agree that immigration policy needs to change, but it's only a stopgap measure -- it kicks the can down the road. Someone else will have to deal with catastrophic overpopulation.
Sailrocket is no way inspired by Hydroptère, and in fact one might argue that they could not be more different:

Hydroptere works by countering the heeling moment caused by the force on it's sails and foils, with, basically, it's weight (it's weight times the distance between the center of gravity and the leeward foil) whereas Sailrocket works by having NO heeling moment and actually somewhat of a negative one, as the leeward hull can be seen lifting clear out of the water at speed.

Hydroptere lifts out of the water by using foils, which are basically wings that work in water (at the air/water interface actually, which causes a host of problems) whereas Sailrocket skims along on planing surfaces, just like a powerboat or a windsurf.

Sailrocket, as indicated in the article, owes a lot to Bernard Smith ( seminal work : http://www.amazon.com/Sailloons-Fliptackers-High-Speed-Saili... )

Finally, Hydroptere works on both tacks (wind coming from either side) where Sailrocket only works on one tack. Some fascinating workarounds for this issues have already been worked out by Bernard Smith by the way.
Cool app! Besides crossfilter, is the source available somewhere? Thanks.
Your concerns implicitly depend on productivity per worker remaining constant over time. As that is not true, it's not clear that the changing retiree to worker ratio is as big a problem as you claim.
It sounds exactly like the sorts of thongs my daughters say to each other from time to time. "You LIED! I'll never ever believe anything you say ever again!" And then 2 minutes later they're laughing and joking and whispering secrets to each other about which boy likes which girl at school.
Regarding Jobs, the transition from the kid avid to make a quick buck to the perfectionist product designer, then tech guru/trend setter would have been interesting. From the preview, it looks like they portray Jobs as the latter from the get go.
