I don't know man.

I have 2 emails: public, and semi-public. My public email is used to register for all sorts of things. My semi-public is only used to register for the most important things, and is posted on several internet profiles as a way to contact me.
I'm considering joining. Just one question (and sorry if it's already answered on the meetup page, I did read it but didn't see the answer). Are the topics usually a surprise or are they related to the sponsors (though I notice your headline speaker isn't one of the sponsors)?
It's very similar in that they both expose the OO inner workings but after that they're quite different.

Perl requires a blessed reference (which doesn't have to be a hash but often it is the best option!) which only contains the objects state. So unlike a Lua object hash the behaviour is maintained by Perl in dynamically scoped packages/subroutines (classes/methods).

Problem is these recipes are only a guess at what is in most things, and others they only suggest similar tasting items. None of these are spot on exact, and Mcdonalds differ the ingredients in many things based on region and country. For example , where I live they use beef in the sausage patty and not pork. So really all this is , is an "alternative" recipe book for things maccas sell.

i will not be able to attend this one but would love to attend the next.
My friends have a small shop and their parents are the traditional small holder farming types, so I actually spent most of my time outside of Hoi An during the day in the mangrove trees. With my SLR and a Samsung Series 9 which didn't appear to mind 45°C heat. It really does change how the brain works (I'm back in London atm, longing for such things). I was of course covered head to toe in DEET. Anyone reading these things should know its not all golden!

If your not working in the local economy, they really don't mind at all. The worst you'd have to do is show a bank account with some money in. The problem they face is mostly due to tourists who can't really pay their way, the amount of 'White Crime' surprised me, espesually in the smaller towns, pretty much all crime was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to tourists desperate for money.

For Chiang Mai its easy to get a 6 month visa, and you can always do a run to the border with Burma to get an easy extension. I would really recommend the north of Thailand, a lot less red light, a lot more relaxed.

Ultimately when I was there I was on holiday but I just didn't stop working on my UK based work, I had a couple of laptops with me. All money I earned was payed to my UK company, paying UK rate of taxes. I realise that was a bit silly, and I should have had an HK registered company, and been paying much less tax. However if your US citizen, you have less options in the matter due the whole state of been expat/nondom under US tax law, so YMMV. But no matter how you arrange it, so long as your not working in a bar they won't care at all. Even if you do work illegally I believe the bribes are very cheap anyway.
Very sad to see this happening. I liked the project a lot... Good luck with your job though and you will sure have more opportunities in life to do open-source projects. :)
Why is that? The major cost is the one-time cost of designing the chip, not producing it. Software is even more extreme: the distribution costs are essentially zero. That doesn't mean the most economically efficient solution is for the software to sell for nothing.
It would be enough if they allowed e.g. all github users to upload their apps to a shared "github community" vendor - github would gladly take the $99 hit for the publicity, and everybody wins.

Virtual face with the ability to show emotions
The physiological satiety response just isn't as strong or effective in some people. To further complicate things, once obesity sets in, it creates a degree of insulin & leptin resistance, and losing control of these signalling devices even further reduces the negative feedback available to establish a hunger / eating cycle, when ad libitum food is available.

To some degree, it takes acts of deliberate control several times a day, for years, for people who are biochemically prone to overeating, to eat a normal amount given a Western diet... on top of their actual psychological habits.

Aside from this, an obese person deals with larger caloric maintenance requirements in the first place, and views the world through the same hunger-tinted glasses that everyone else does when eating below these requirements in order to lose weight.

A Chipotle burrito with guac & sour cream, and a side of chips, with a 32oz root beer (& 1 refill), will run you about 2400 calories, and represents the approximate amount that in a past era, I was able to eat before getting a subtle, non-painful signal to slow down. Alternately: a normal bag of double stuff Oreos, 2100 calories, 2500 with a decent amount of milk. Nacho Cheese Doritos Family Size: 2400 calories, or 3200 with a 2L of Coke. Digiorno Rising Crust Pizza: 2100 calories, or 2900 with a 2L of coke.

I'm way below my peak weight, but somewhat horrified that this kind of binging isn't out of the question, in the heat of the moment. I'm taking it one day at a time, counting calories, trying to eat small portions, and I've completely removed 'snack foods' and soda & fruit juice from my diet... but it's not easy, and if I don't focus on how much I'm eating, a single meal can destroy a week's worth of dieting.

And for a person who is genuinely hungry? The fastest I've ever lost weight was three weeks in my teens where I had a very controlled diet, and a strenuous 12hr/day backpacking activity. I shed 40lbs in 20 days and had significant related medical problems by the end of my term, so I feel this represents a reasonable approximation of 'starving' (although still at a relatively healthy weight). Midway through, a resupply opened up our food rations for return or immediate consumption. It turns out, 5lbs of cheddar cheese (9000 calories) goes down very easy; I was snacking on granola not an hour later. Stories of Holocaust survivors dying the day after rescue of GI problems aren't particularly surprising in light of a reality like that.

I've never been competitive about eating. I enjoy food, but I'm hardly that unusual: even at my peak weight, a solid 2% of the country had a higher BMI. The pathology is a function of our modern food system's emphasis on fat, sugar, and salt, our culture's value-for-money proposition of ever-increasing serving sizes, and differing physical susceptibility to these things on a personal level, not solely individual psychology. What's an absurd amount for you is the result of absentminded snacking for someone else.
I am on my way to my MD, I know. But in the real world people do use "Alt Med" for treatments that have shown efficacy already. It takes far longer than expected until this stuff becomes part of practiced medicine though. In the end I don't care about the label, but the evidence/science and the results.

See, you're doing the same thing to me. You're implying that I am unsophisticated foodwise just because I said that people who attack McD's may be posturing. Why do you assume that I haven't tried other things? Actually I grew up in southern Europe and the first McDonald's opened in my home town when I was around 18.
But there are a bunch of studies on useful stuff. Inositol, Theanine etc. And we still don't do studies because interests don't align well for it to happen quickly.
My point being that some Alt Med Practitioners actually help. I don't like it, because I heavily dislike the widespread incompetence about science/medicine in Alt Med circles. But it's still true.

Well the MDs do give you lifestyle advice. And the "professionals" that should care about this stuff (esp. dieticians) also suck badly. They often just regurgitate the food pyramid.

I completely agree otherwise.
I'm sorry, but the answer isn't to remove options that often make sense. You don't want to be like the Gnome guys, who in the guise of making things "user friendly" removed often extremely useful functionality.

Like removing the certificates manager. Or cache control. Or the ability to restrict cookies. Or JavaScript. Or the ability to turn off menubars, should you so desire to do so (kiosk mode). All of these things are used by people. Just because he doesn't like it, doesn't mean others don't want it.

That's a shame. This serves as a reminder to us all to be very careful when signing employment contracts. We're fortunate enough to be in an industry with huge demand for talent at the moment, so in addition to salary / benefits, things like having the right to open source your work should be included in your negotiations. In my experience, most good companies are OK with it.

Setup Node.js servers within a load-balanced configuration
I was able to find at least 3 extant forks on Github, but the fact that the project author's employer was concerned about IP rights would make me wary about using such code. If the author "borrowed" similar code from work he previously did from the employer, it is likely that the MIT license of chart.js is invalid.
I am afraid this is incorrect. The problem is, you seem to have a very basic, early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Say style concept of money. This early school was, too, of the opinion that money's only role in the economy is as a medium of exchange, barely abstracting how the underlying economy is just the exchange of commodities. Thus Say's law as corollary.

But this analysis misses the time dimension of money: lending, borrowing and interest [1]. Keynes knew that, and before him Marx, and I bet someone before him too. And in this aspect, I find Bitcoin to be an irreversibly brain-damaged, if interesting, experiment. I look at it and see a massively deflationary currency, dependant on a empirical rule of thumb (Moore's Law), that is even today failing to accommodate the mildest exponential growth. When your currency gains value by the hour, actually borrowing and trading and doing capitalist things are losers' propositions.

Don't get me wrong, I see value in an automated currency that can provide at least an amount of anonymity [2]. In my opinion, Bitcoin is just not it. When your economic theory is still getting an erection over the gold standard, like some 19th century robber baron, you know you just don't have the economic chops to do it. No sane modern-capitalist economy can be given birth by faulty economics.

[1] Unless of course you belong to the school of the Austrians, like whomever wrote the "deflationary currency" joke of an entry in Bitcoin's Wikipedia. For you all evil's root is either the government or fractional reserve banking, so I'm obviously wrong.

[2] Maybe with a fixed 4% inflation rate, like Milton Friedman suggested. It could also be a fiat currency, and simultaneously decentralized and anonymous, if we could take the principles of the free-banking era, see why they failed (because they failed by themselves, no amount of austrian self-bullshitting will change that) and fix them. Who knows, I'm not an economist.

The E5 came out last March, is based on the previous Sandy Bridge architecture, and is hardly new. It was also practically a year late, launching the same time as the Ivy Bridge based E3 v2's. The 55xx series was launched in Q1 2009, and the 56xx series was launched in Q1 2010, so their existing hardware is 4 years old at this point. Yes, this is a major improvement, but in reality, they are simply catching up to last year's hardware, not exactly being innovative. The claim that their average hardware will be less than a year old when their upgrade is complete comes off as deceitful PR spin. The E5's are already a year old now, so they must be basing the age of the hardware on when it was purchased, and not when it was released to market.

The Ivy Bridge based E5 v2 is also coming out in Q3 this year, and supposedly with 12 core models, so it seems that this is a somewhat poorly timed upgrade on Linode's part. They should have either upgraded to the E5 v1's much sooner, or just wait it out for the E5 v2's.

Sure, but they don't give you the serotonin rush that McDonald's does. The fat+salt+sugar+carbs+MSG combinations is a very affordable drug these days. With more resources you can adopt healthier pleasures. Poor people don't have that luxury.

Don't just take it down. Destroy it. Make sure that any benefit your employer was receiving from it vanishes. If they claim ownership, despite the work having been done in your free time, demand the overtime pay. Make it clear that OSHA will be involved if they decline.

Ah: Edit still available: Destroy was the wrong word. Make inaccessible to everyone, including the employer as if erased. If the employer claims exclusive ownership you have a bargaining chip. They may own it, but they should pay for it.

>This serves as a reminder to us all to be very careful when signing employment contracts.

If he was a full-time employee in the US, a contract wouldn't be necessary for this to be an issue. All work done by an employee on company time or using company resources is 'work for hire' (a term often misused in the software contracting industry, where it rarely applies), and that IP belongs to the company.

>In my experience, most good companies are OK with it.

Most good companies are sometimes 'OK with it'. It depends on how much it will affect their competitive advantages in their field. My employer would probably sign off on open-sourcing a charting library, but not a graph layout library, for example - displaying complex data as graphs is near the core of our business.

Certainly most companies will not grant you a blanket right to open source all of your work for them.
I am also worried about the buttons being part of the trackpad surface. For two reasons: (1) no haptic response when hitting the keys. I think I need to try it before making any judgement.
