As being designer when to say, no more changes plz..
As being designer all of us sometime came across to painful situation of getting more and more changes from client and start feeling what I should do to stop this non-ending cycle of iterations in design. So when do you think that's enough and how do you say to your client, no more changes plz.

When I read math, I really like some motivating examples before digging into the definitions and theorems. For me, concrete examples makes it way easier to grasp abstract concepts.
No, chef/puppet/etc are configuration management tools. They automate the manual typing of server setup commands, and then verify that the system stays that way.

They are not security tools. So you're on your own on what to actually tell the tools to do. "Install chef" is not a security tip. It's a repeatability tip, so you can get your system up to a known state repeatedly.

For the security side of things, you're back to figuring out what the right steps are, no matter how they're installed.
Exactly right, in that eletric and petrol cars are not the same. They have a different feature set. Electric cars will be worse in some areas, and better in others. A lot of people have a hard time estimating the value of electric cars, because they are very different from what they are used to. And people usually don't like different.
Thanks for clarifying that. I just wanted to point out that the exchanges are moving towards compliance with regulations, not from them.
Scringo Launches Industry-First Developer Zone
A negative review in TopGear and the New York Times is pretty serious, I think it can make a lot of people that are sitting on the fence dismiss buying an electrical car for another couple years. The impact of these reviews (regardless of wether or not they are true) are pretty big imho.
I've worked for a couple of the bigger law firms in the UK and I've never come across drug use (of this type).

Drugs may enable and perpetuate this behaviour today, at least in some countries, but I don't think there's much of a case that they caused it. At least if they did it arose in places like the UK without that assistance.

From my experience the root is far simpler - greed. They dangle the possibility of partnership with all it's attendant wealth and status in front of the bright young things and watch them scrap it out and burn out. I have a friend who made partner with one of the magic circle firms and while the rewards are amazing, I wouldn't swap his life for mine in a million years.
Just a recommendation, but maybe you should actually read something before you respond to it:
In the article you are commenting on "
In paragraph 7 of its particulars of claim Tesla also alleged that the film was false in the following respects:

"(1) The first Roadster shown (which was silver in colour) did not run out of charge;
(2) The first Roadster did not have to be pushed back into the hangar as a result of running out of charge;
(3) At no point were the brakes of the first Roadster broken;
(4) The second Roadster (which was grey in colour ) did not become immobile as a result of overheating.
(5) There was no time at which neither Roadster was available for driving."
"
The lawsuit isn't over a bad review. It is over a scripted "failure" of the vehicle. The vehicle didn't die. It's batteries didn't run out, and the Tesla engineers found the script for the scene as the test drive was beginning.

Tesla has every right to respond to having their product used as a prop for a scripted jab at electric vehicles.
Of course it's wrong. If you work at something for 40 years and don't get any better, you have a serious mental deficiency. Hell, even if you do have a serious mental deficiency, sheer basal ganglian muscle memory will make you better. This is absurd.
Wikipedia's page on the Federal Reserve, particularly the section on 'Purpose' would seem to disagree with you. But it is only wikipedia and may well be inaccurate.

Except in practice, it almost always seems to. Which is why I don't and can't do any significant development, or work of nearly any kind for that matter, on Android, or an iPad.
Isn't this the goal of PC-BSD? As far as I know, it is no failure.
The normal convention is to avoid using pylab, and instead use matplotlib directly.

Pylab is handy if you're just transitioning from Matlab, but otherwise, there's no reason to use it. It's a gigantic namespace, and all but a couple of functions are from numpy and matplotlib.pyplot.

Just do:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Instead of:

import pylab as pl

Of course, in the end it's personal preference. As long as you don't need to know where things come from, then using pylab is fine.
the vast majority of German apprenticeships are not in traditional industrial roles or trades like plumbing. the existence of quality post-school training opportunities has little to do with the existence of a strong manufacturing sector.
Tesla blew it? From the text of the article you are commenting on and naturally didn't even read:

"In paragraph 7 of its particulars of claim Tesla also alleged that the film was false in the following respects:

"(1) The first Roadster shown (which was silver in colour) did not run out of charge;
(2) The first Roadster did not have to be pushed back into the hangar as a result of running out of charge;
(3) At no point were the brakes of the first Roadster broken;
(4) The second Roadster (which was grey in colour ) did not become immobile as a result of overheating.
(5) There was no time at which neither Roadster was available for driving."
"
So Top Gear staged a fake failure of a vehicle, and its Tesla's fault? What universe do you live in?

A decent point but the government accepting payment in a certain currency requires that they are sure/believe that they will be able to use that currency to pay their debts. Same thing applies to the debt argument both rely on a communal acceptance that a dollar/euro/ruby/piece of eight/bitcoin/kongbuck will be accepted as payment.

I suppose it'd be clearer if I said it's exchange value is ephemeral, ie completely determined by the faith that currency X is worth/will be accepted in exchange for some amount of currency or product Y.

I bet that having so many methods makes it impossible for them to reuse their methods, probably they have a shitload of repetition in there. I just can't stop laughing about these arrogant people, and the balls to think that no other developers have had their challenges. Must be hell working in that place.
The comment you just replied to was pointing out that you could just as easily find a 32x32 pixel icon with Kolmogorov complexity lower than that of the 3 minute "HD" video. And they did so in a way without having to bring CS theory into what was previously a marvelously straightforward discussion.
If your system can't survive an attack because the attacker learned from a blog post that you are using tool X then perhaps tool X is the problem and not the blog post.

If I'm understanding the original case correctly Tesla lost in part because they couldn't demonstrate that their reputation would be any more damaged by someone believing that the car actually ran out of charge than they would be if that person realised it was a dramatization.

Which kind of makes sense - after all, Top Gear could have driven it until it actually ran out of power and got the same results, and Tesla Motors didn't dispute that.
My circa 2009 iMac does the same thing.

Nitpick: "high intensity cardio" is kind of an oxymoron. "Cardio" is used to mean training which mainly uses the aerobic system. That is, longer term, lower intensity, training that you can sustain over a long period of time because you are going at a pace that your body can turn carbohydrates into all the energy you need.

Sprinting is anaerobic training, as is most strength training. It's high intensity, you can't sustain it over a long period of time, and it makes different energy demands on your body than aerobic training does.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_exercise#Aerobic_versus...

With that said, I much prefer anaerobic training. It's more fun, for me. And if you do intervals over a long enough time, you're also increasing your aerobic capacity.

Well, who said anything about "internal collapse" only?

We're talking about "the sky is falling" situations (or, more generally, dire outcomes).

Those can be both external and/or internal.

And the original "sky is falling" metaphor that the parent used also favours outside factors.
How about the "scrolling guides" when you're zoomed? Not sure if there's a proper name for that, but with Opera when I zoomed and the text reflowed, it would lock me to vertical scrolling only as long as I don't wiggle too far horizontally. Easily my favourite thing about it.

Senior barristers, or in Scotland senior advocates. Usually over 10-12 years at the bar.

We have a system where in higher courts people are represented directly by lawyers but by barristers/advocates - the theory is that they have a primary duty to the court and not to the client. A lawyer will instruct a barrister/advocate to run a case - in more serious cases a QC (senior) will be used along with a junior barrister/advocate.

NB My wife qualified as an advocate in Scotland - best bit being that when they are training (mostly following a qualified advocate around for a year as an unpaid assistant) you are known as an advocates devil. The whole process of training is known as devilling and the advocate training you is your devil-master. :-)
Oh, I hope you appreciate the complete contradiction in your arguments.

I made a statement in support of Federalism as a basis for our founding. You said:

This is middle school civics drivel

Then later you said:

I think federalism is a failed experiment and I have no interest in re-litigating the Civil War.

So apparently, Federalism was a core part of the "experiment" of or Founding and not "middle school civics drivel".
No. Electric propulsion works by bringing ions to very high energies/speeds. This isn't practical in a dense atmosphere, because ions make too many collisions with air molecules. Their energy is dissipated almost immediately, as heat.

Moreover, it's not useful for escaping a planet's gravity well, atmosphere or not. Ion thrusters are extremely weak. E.g. the Dawn probe has a thrust/weight ratio of 0.000007. At the earth's surface, the gravity pulling it down would be 135,000 times stronger than the thrusters pushing it up. It can't fly.

This is a despicable trend. This devaluing of labor is happening in many fields. The offer is always the same: exposure, it's good for your career.

The Huffington Post was built on this business model. Most of the writers weren't paid at all but of course Arianna cashed in to the tune of $315 million.

The comedian and podcaster Duncan Trussell was invited to do a set at SXSW, for free and without even airfare being provided. Their only offer was to let him sleep on a volunteer's couch.

His response was hilarious:

And also and importantly SXSW enjoys a large, free labor force in the form of volunteers.

Millenials really have gotten a raw deal. Many can't afford rent or savings, they are rarely offered cash as compensation for jobs their parents were happily paid for.

These practices are worse than those of textile sweatshops.
I don't know, having the brakes suddenly stop working as they should would qualify as broken to me.

That system being the brakes?
How does running an OpenBSD firewall compare to running one on FreeBSD using the ported version of PF? I only have experience with the latter and I wonder if I'm missing out on something.
Yup. Have some sort of error code that is passed back by A1() or A2().

bool A1();
bool A2();

void A(){
bool result = A1();
if (!result){
A2();
}
}

Instead of your "if(corner case) raise();", you would then have a "if(corner case) return false;".

However, it becomes more difficult if you want a return value. Suppose that your A() function was as follows.

double A(){
double result;
try{
result = A1();
catch (e) {
result = A2();
}
return result;
}

Then, you are already using the return value to indicate something other than success or failure of the operation. You could have A1 and A2 return some special value that wouldn't return normally. For example, if it is some distance, negative values could represent invalid responses.

double dist(){
double output = dist1();
if (output==-1)
output = dist2();
return output;
}

However, sometimes any value could be a valid value. Then you need to pass things by pointer or reference in order to have two outputs, one for the value and one for the success/failure.

bool A1(double* output);
bool A2(double* output);

double A(){
double output;
bool success = A1(&output);
if (!success)
A2(&output);
return output;
}

It is in this last case when exceptions start being much cleaner, since they provide a clean way to indicate that the operation has failed.

Anonymous crime reporting through cellphones I think is a good area to do some research.
There are some good examples in some countries of Africa, as this one in Kenya: http://www.sida.se/English/Countries-and-regions/Africa/Keny...

They are low tech (you don't have to own an iPhone to access an iOS app and report a crime, you just send a SMS), which I think is a great advantage.
If you are able to create a good source of data of previously unreported crime through a good system of anonymous reporting, will help a lot the PD.
In example, in my country lots of small crimes ( e.g. pickpocketing) go unreported because the chances are close to zero of recovering your things or find and punish the thieve. Also, lots of serious crimes (e.g. drug dealing, police abuse, murders) go unreported because people are afraid of retaliation.
You see that I used a real case but I am giving my own ideas here, I hope you can have a use for this. But I really think the universal reach that mobile phones (including the simpler ones) have and the anonymity possibilities can be used to create a system that improves your city's criminal maps.
Brilliant! I was tempted to build a CPU using logic gates, but in the interests of brevity thought an OTS processor was the better idea. Will check out that talk for sure however!

I don't know. Continue reading. Take point 3, for example:

Tesla's explanation was essentially: "whereas what had actually failed was a fuse in the equipment providing power-assistance to the brake pedal"

So, I don't know about you, but something suddenly not working the way it's supposed to work is something I would consider broken.

Hmm I guess that makes sense but there are two options I see:

1) The comet hits Mars, has negative effects on the planet but we end up learning a lot about what happened to Earth.

2) We deflect the comet, learn how to protect ourselves from such things in the future, and we can still visit Mars in the future and hope for life on there.

Now obviously I demonstrated a bias above, but I definitely think it's more worth our time to look into the future than what happenED--especially in this situation. Right now, there are more discussions/plans of humans visiting Mars than there ever has been. A comet hitting the planet would most likely cancel or severely postpone many of those plans.

Learning how to protect ourselves should be prioritized, then discovery should be close after. Both of these may become delayed processes if we just allow a comet to hit Mars. Let me know your thoughts.

Er, no.

1) & 2) "Tesla admitted that the range of the Roadster on the test track was about 55 miles and that if it ran out of charge it took several hours to charge it up again. "

3) A fuse broke that meant power-assistance of the brake failed. So the brakes clearly weren't working correctly. I don't think Top Gear should do fault finding on review cars.

4) TG claimed it had reduced power, not that it was immobile.

Mars gravity is much more powerful than the Earth's. If they landed with current technology (especially considering the budget) they'd likely be unable to reach orbit.
No, power-assistance to the brake pedal means you have to put the pressure on the brakes yourself. Most cars have a hydraulic assist; not sure if the Tesla has hydraulics or some kind of electric assist, but the result is the same: the brakes still work! You just have to push the pedal harder.

It entirely depends on the language as to the level of acceptability of using exceptions for control flow. In Java, it's moderately routine to get a random exception or two that you recover from and go along your way merrily. Python similarly is A-OK much of the time.

In Objective C, exceptions are "he's dead Jim" territory.

Some of the differences of use are caused by the implementation of exceptions in those environments and the expectations programmers of libraries in those environments to what happens when exceptions occur.

"A lot of people have a hard time estimating the value of electric cars"

It is also possible to look an electric cars and decide they aren't relevant to how you personally use cars - I don't drive very much but when I do its generally over 300 miles or so to locations where re-charging will never be practical. I also live in a flat with on street parking.

I hope electic vehicles will be relevant to me at some point in the near future because I would love the choice - but they aren't at the moment and I don't think they will be in the next 5 years.
