Theres a lot of ways you could do it. Keeping it is one option, removing it is another, without knowing more about the function of the tower it's hard to make a determination either way.

The Next Don: How VCs Plan For The Future
The decision to enter a PhD program only makes sense for one of the two reasons: either you think you're going to win a Nobel Prize one day, or, you don't mind spending five years in a way which doesn't advance any goal (literal quote from a conversation I had, "so you had an offer from Google but you decided to do a PhD instead--why??", "Oh, I just want to do nothing for a while longer".)

The two kinds of PhD students may look the same but they're very different. If you belong to the first category, even if you realize you won't get that Nobel Prize, I doubt you're going to regret trying. If you're of the second kind, why yes, you have wasted five years of your life, which is exactly what you signed up for so why do you complain?

Look, windowsphone isn't losing in the marketplace because it's bad technology. In fact I'm sure it's an OK OS, nothing to write home about, but decent enough.

The real reason windowsphone fails in the marketplace is the fact that microsoft owns skype, and carriers hate skype.

So any upcoming platform has a shot at becoming the third ecosystem, except windowsphone.

How does it feel being around the best hackers every day? Come join us
Every hacker has a type of challenge presented in a certain level of difficulty that really intrigues him/her. We're working to build the largest and the most engaging community of hackers. We just crossed our 110k user mark and our 3-week retention is hovering around 20%. We're growing fast and... we're still in beta.

The problem with moving fast is it should be managed well, else all the effort isn't worth it. There are users who love it (https://twitter.com/GeneralBison/status/316539960129884161) and users who don't like it much (https://twitter.com/thomasABoyt/status/316030881812840448). It's easy to get this sort of feedback because they're posting it publicly. But what do we do about passive users? We're missing tons of critical pieces of information & feedback from our users which we'd like to fix.

Welcome <your-name-here>

==============================

Role:

>To actively engage & interact with the current hackers (get feedback)

>Measure every action on the site and see ways to improve the product to increase retention.

>Feature stories on some incredible hackers (eg: Steve Jurvetson's kid who is still in high school won a math contest at hackerrank (http://on.fb.me/10aPXGY)

>Manage & organize contests like (hackerrank.com/calvsucsd; hackerrank.com/uho)

>Manage the hackerrank clubs in US (https://www.hackerrank.com/hackerclubs/us)

& many more.. The role is a hybrid of business development & a community/user engagement specialist.

==============================

Team:

We're a team of 16 almost equally split between Mountain View, CA & India. This role is in Mountain View. You'll be working with an incredible smart team that comprises of ACM world finalists, ex-Googlers/Amazonians and most importantly people who are fired up & inspired to get things done no matter what. I can guarantee that this will be a place where you'll realize your peak potential.

Games with shallow gender roles sell. And it's not just for guys.

Just look at the new Tomb Raider: Lara is an emotionally unstable idiot who gets unconditional support from her friends. For example, she screams into a walkie talkie to someone who is hiding from killers... on at least two separate occasions. She needs constant reinforcement that "You can do this!" as Zero Punctuation observed, despite the fact that she already learnt how to do parkour in a previous life. The entire game consists of her being strung along passively, falling from one situation into the next and just going along with it. And of course the men are all brutish thugs, ineffectual ninnies or too old to be threatening, and practically all of them die so that she may live and survive increasingly ridiculous action sequences wearing nothing but a sports top.

What do the feminists say? Apparently Lara is one of "the most real characters", and the most important issue was "does she get raped or not?" based on the concerns of one scene in one trailer.

As for Sarkeesian, she's milked her story at TEDx and GDC and now has a giant pile of money to make video after video with. Which more than a few people have pointed out are overly simplified, badly researched, and self-contradictory, despite pushing back her own schedule.

There is real sexism in gaming, but these are not the people you should be listening to to figure out why it happens, nor the ones to fix it. Your best bet is to find a Kickstarter for a game that won't be reduced to whatever's bland enough to be a popular hit, rather than giving money to people who just whine about it so they get more traffic.

Also, hope that Beyond Good & Evil 2 will still see the light of day.

No wonder your account is dead. Well said.
It's hard to know which way the causality goes here. It might just be that really exceptional undergrads happen to end up in grad school (because of pressure from professors or family, or simply because "it's just what smart people do"), even though they would have been exceptional engineers either way. I agree that PhDs are very knowledgable when it comes to their precise field of study, but this is often very narrow. How useful is this expert knowledge unless you're hired specifically for it (ie, as a researcher)?
It's not "open source specific" when you have a support contract with Canonical. Also if it's a high profile package, there is a moral obligation to do a proper job.

MySQL issue was fixed by a minor version upgrade on all other platforms including Debian stable! LTS should include that upgrade but it has been frozen at a broken version for 3 years. That is simply unacceptable and purely incompetent.

Debian are actually responsive and take defects seriously. Canonical actually break more stuff than they improve.

Seriously though, if I phone up Microsoft (we have a support contract along the same lines of Canonical), the actually get a fix to us in quite shockingly good times. We had an SQL server issue and we had a binary hotfix in two days flat.

Canonical just do a shit job - simple as.
And because of Bootstrap, it’s responsive! Best of both worlds.

I'm thinking it might more likely be a nice "question doesn't fit perfectly on other sites" Stack Overflow type site: For those people the Arduino official charter talks about, people who don't want to get pushed into being electronics experts nor software programmers, just want to make magic with the Arduino as a user - intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments, as Arduino.cc says. I think it's needed, I hope it happens.

Did anybody notice that the average internet user today is pretty similar to the one presented in the video? Users still need a lot of hand holding and guidance to use the web. Back then they used only a handful of sites which is still the case today with Facebook, Twitter and maybe a couple of other sites (news sites, craigslist, Youtube).

On another note I somewhat wish we could go back to a (slightly) less interactive web. Everywhere you go you are overwhelmed with social media plugins and calls to various actions (WE WANT YOUR ANSWERS! [taken from mentalfloss]).

You have failed to understand a one-line sentence and inflated it into some agenda entirely of your own creation and are attributing it falsely to me.

The contention was simple and utterly straightforward. Having a conjectural and value laden statement that is false and using it in an introduction gives me pause. Doing so persuades people holding surface knowledge (as evidenced by this comment thread) but gives people with experience a different response.

Now you are making an appeal to authority.
I'm probably being very defensive but I use macros for this.

and then '4@a' to run it on all the lines. In a simple case like this is it a bit more complicated than something like multiword editing but I've used this technique in cases that are far more complex then what from my understanding, multiline editing can handle.

For example I turned a spreadsheet of data into a complicated dhcpd.conf file using a couple macros.

me and my friend always get requests from people we know to get them them some stuff from ebay and then they pay us since they don't have any money online so we decided to launch a website where you submit a link to an intem in ebay and give us your mobile number when it's shipped we call the user to give him the item.we add 5% to the original price : so to test the market I created just one form that submit data to the db.On the first day I got a lot of messages from people wanting to ship stuff right away.My problem is that my friend want the users to pay in advance and he thinks that 5% is really low so :
1 - what do you think about users paying in advance ?
2 - what do you thin about the 5% ?
3 - do you think the buisness model is broken in anway ?

For your statement to be true, I would have expected a big rise in my taxes over the last decade, and perhaps a corresponding contraction of other gov't spending. I've seen neither, nor do I think the gov't was hoarding a big war-chest of funds for such an occasion. The main point of my comment was to point out that when it's possible for the gov't to finance war(s) with deficit spending as opposed to war-bonds, people freely ignore it, as you've demonstrated.

Socially, there is a big value in getting a very bright person to intensely study a single area for many years. PhDs do usually go on to work in their field, and a vastly disproportionate amount of innovation comes from them. That's why I don't really buy the correlation argument. I don't think even very bright people are going to be able to make contributions like new speech recognition algorithms or new algorithms for wireless networking, robotics, etc, without the kind of dedicated and focused study that comes from a PhD (or an equivalent level of theoretical study outside a PhD program).

The problem here isn't that a mistake occurred. Mistakes do happen and on occasion its something you'll have to deal with. Most reasonable people don't blow up over minor errors.

The problem here is that the company in question apparently offers no realistic means of providing customer support. When you're providing a free service, I can understand not wanting to spend money offering some form of customer service.

But when you're charging money for a service, not having any customer service that can help you isn't nice at all, to put it mildly.
A minor version upgrade violates Ubuntu's stable release updates policy, which is to backport fixes only. And as I've said, this is very difficult when MySQL upstream keep their VCS private.

An Ubuntu developer could try and get a micro release exception in place for MySQL, but as I say this is a MySQL-specific problem.

Canonical cannot trump Ubuntu policy.

Yeah artists seem to do it all the time. They also often get indignant at the merest suggestion that they might want to agree for someone to use their work for free.

The difference is, of course, that writing code is joy so no wonder people will gladly do it and give the results away, whereas creating art is unpleasant, tiresome work, so it's an insult to suggest anyone would do it for reasons other than money.

* Is this a problem worth fixing?
My Lenovo Thinkpad W530's GPU set-up stinks at Optimus, because all external monitor connectors are hard wired to the NVidia GPU. I need to switch xorg.conf files and restart X to switch between internal and external monitors. Be careful and read the manual before buying and search for the parts about "dos mode" and the GPU.

You can quibble with some of his techniques or equipment. I found that they weren't objectionable and not far from what I've put together over the years.

The main takeaway from the whole article is to minimize the difficulty in getting your workout done. Easy equipment to setup, adjust, and maintain in a convenient environment are critical factors.

I set up a DVR with some news/interest shows that record for me every day. I used to sit on my butt in the evenings and watch them. At some point, I figured... why am I not lifting weights while I watch these shows? A few trips to the sporting goods store later, and I was rocking and rolling.

My favorite pieces of equipment:

1. A good, versatile bench.
2. A bar for pullups (with some extra weights that I hook my feet under for extra resistance)
3. My dumbells
4. A multi-angle-grip curl bar.

With minimal equipment and an entertaining setup, working out can be easy to accomplish without feeling like you have to drag your ass to the gym for interminable hours every week.
CyberBunker: Hacking as Performance Art
I started with stronglifts 5x5, but switched to Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength.

Starting Strength is a little harder to get into because it is based off of a paid book instead of a free pdf. But it is a better program in my opinion. Stronglifts is basically a ripoff of it but with better search engine optimization, hence its popularity.

Differences:

-Stronglifts starts with minimal weight. Starting Strength starts with weight that is hard. I think it is advantageous to do lower weight if you need to figure out form, but if you can get proper instruction there is no reason to start so low, you are just wasting time.

-Starting strength does 3x5 instead of 5x5. 5x5 is too many if the weight is truly difficult (Stronglift agrees and goes down to 3x5 when you get failures)

-Stronglifts has a bunch of instructions and rules to follow, but there really is no explanation as to why, for form or the program. Starting Strength's book is extremely thorough (almost too verbose).

-Starting Strength does power cleans instead of barbell row. Power cleans are essential because they develop speed, while all other exercises in both programs only develop strength. Work the lats with Chin-ups.

-The author of Starting Strength seems more credible since the programs are so similar yet his came earlier, he has been around a long time coaching, and has lift much higher weights than the author of Stronglifts).

Both programs will be a million times better than nothing, but I think if you are serious about getting strong Starting Strength will serve you better.

A lot of what he advocates still displays that he's largely a novice, just one with more knowledge than your average programmer. But still a novice.

Research (I'm not finding the studies, sorry) has indeed shown that protein intake is minimally correlated to muscle growth. He was on the mark by mentioning that only certain amounts of protein can be used in one setting, while the rest is wasted by the body. It's not one hard and fast number; individuals bodies vary greatly according to metabolic rates, capacity to grow, and ability to gain strength.

After going from zero resistance training to 90 minutes a week, as was his case, anybody is obviously going to get much stronger. In the strength community these are just referred to as beginner gains.

When you've been lifting for a few years, 90 minutes of strenuous resistance training a week is only going to help you maintain your current body, at best, even at maximal resistance levels and training until failure. This is why it's so common to see guys who go to the same gym for years and never look any different. Over time, your body acclimates and it takes more resistance AND more volume to continue growing. Genetics and the aforementioned variability between individuals does play a large difference, but for nearly anyone, doing three 30 minute workouts a week (at maximum intensity) for more than a couple years won't result in any noticeable difference.

If you're focusing time efficiency, go for it, else there are far more reputable sources for how to gain strength and muscle mass than one guy's anecdote of how he did half a year of strength training.

While an old PC is certainly good hardware spec-wise, they aren't good in the noise, space, and power consumption areas. If you're going to buy something, get something that won't have it's caps blow in 6 months.

I recently got a PC Engines Alix [1]. It's not as cheap as a consumer router but it's got good specs and runs the latest OpenWRT with no problems. Most of all, it's as small, unobtrusive, and fan-less as a consumer router.

>> I honestly just wish they'd settle for a simple, concrete description of what's acceptable while driving and what isn't

>It is unacceptable to divide your attention when hurtling down the road in a ton and a half of steel.

That's not an answer.

Of course people should pay attention while driving. But the question is: what should the law be? Should looking at paper maps while driving be illegal? Changing the radio station? Eating?

In the late '80s a driver killed 4 bicyclists on two-land highway outside of Silicon Valley (CA-152) when she bent down while driving to retrieve a fallen cassette tape. Should we ban music systems in cars?

The problem with taking banning "distractions" to its logical conclusion is that we'd end up with an absurd law that the people would never accept. The law, and driving culture, has always accepted some level of distraction. If that needs to change, then we need to decide how, and the advocates for any particular position need to advocate for their position, including addressing their position's logical inconsistencies.
