How about renaming this Tox to something else, since Python's testing tool has existed for quite a while.
Hi Bahadir,

Why don't you start with a forum template (ready framworks) and if everything goes well, you might try to implement it from scratch and change the design and add more components??

The problem is that people want 0% risk and have someone else pay the infinite price tag.
Obviously no one involved is talking, so it's pure conjecture. Iran had previously captured intact drones though, so it's possible they were able to pull out the keys. Or it's possible that the public GPS was used after a period of having the encrypted GPS jammed (that's the kind of behavior that will never be confirmed).

Finally, it could have just been BS that GPS was what went wrong. That's not a bad guess.

Yeah, from what I can tell, startups are stuck in a weird place where they can grow incredibly fast and might need to add a hundred employees in a matter of months. Construction doesn't really scale that fast, so it seems like this is just the best option until employee grown slows.

I'll shoot you a quick note with some details of a new feature I'm working on that you might enjoy based on what you described.
We've had some minor issues with Bitbucket being down, or at least inaccessible. Never anything really disconcerting, but it's always a pain when you can't get to your code, even if it's only for a few hours.

Mostly Bitbucket has moments where it seems a little slugish and a pull or push takes what seems like forever.
It would be pretty neat if all the "gloss" was an additional, optional "module" that you could add in at your discretion.

People who want something they can work with straight away can then add that in and get their gradients, drop shadows etc. People who want something more basic that they can augment with their own styles can then choose to not include this "module", and save themselves having to jump through hoops to undo the default styles (which is a pain, as anyone who has had to do this knows)
That isn't relevant to the question of "does MMR cause autism?"; and if the latter were true (it isn't in general), it would argue for changing the vaccine, not stopping vaccinations.

An $80M yacht sounds impressive…but if it were a tanker full of crude, the outcome could be rather more newsworthy.
The amount charged to Medicare does have an impact on how much they are reimbursed (to an extent).

For example, if the charges exceed the DRG payment by a specific amount, the hospital can get an "outlier" payment to help with the excess costs.

As for how the charges are calculated, hospitals have a lot flexibility in how costs are accounted for.

Also, keep in mind that hospitals that specialize in a specific procedure often have high volumes that drive down cost. If you're getting heart surgery at a hospital that specializes in it, it's often much cheaper than a hospital that rarely does heart surgery.
The article lay the testability issue, but offers no alternative... Since as far as i know there are none.

Also article is kinda crap as it fails to understand the reason they are truly necessary. But upvoting to generate discussion here.
I'm constantly amazed that hackers would submit to this kind of thing. But I guess there's more money to be made on Apple's platform.

Somehow, I suspect that while you might be upset with him, and even let him go, that junior dev will be better off learning what he can and then jumping ship then staying and working diligently in subservience. This advice is not how to make your managers happy by advancing their careers, it is how to make yourself happy by advancing your career.
Adding an implicit coercion to number to a tuple type that contains multiple elements in a dynamically typed language is just a bad idea. Period.
Gödel walks into the Church and proclaims, "You cannot prove that you are good and therefore you cannot prove that there is a good God but you need not fear for I have developed a system whereby you can still be ethical despite knowing not of your goodness."

Whether or not Gödel is correct soon becomes irrelevant as he is promptly ejected from the Church. As he walks away he hears the sound of the hymn "I Cannot Be Sung in the Church" being pelted out at at full volume by the congregation.
The ABC and SBS are great channels. Very high quality content (I don't bother anything else on Aussie TV)
Neither should matter. A visual landing at any airport is pretty much the same, and the basics don't change for different aircraft. There's nothing at all tricky about a visual approach into SFO.
Its totally untrue that Google uses open source first before writing something themselves. Literally, the whole infrastructure is custom google goop and it can take a noogler months before they can do the most basic task.

You can see this in the response to "we can't serve files correctly" in that there was to rush in write new code in a Google language (Go), as if there weren't thousands of existing ways to solve this with an open source component already.
Groupcache being a library is what made me so excited about it in the first place.

I'm writing a torrent tracker in Go that could make great use of a distributed cache. This would enable you to put an arbitrary number of "tracker nodes" behind a load-balancer.

One of the goals of my project is that its easy to configure: everything except the RDBMS is hosted inside a single binary and configured with a single file. In the simplest case: that binary is responsible for two web-servers, a process-local cache, and a DB connection pool. (In more complex cases, each binary simply acts as another node behind a load-balancer; and they attempt to cooperate together.)

It's useful to avoid hitting the disk by having the tracker cache torrents that are active. When you start adding more tracker nodes, this is where having a distributed cache would be nice.

Without groupcache, that means I've just forced my users to install and configure memcached. With groupcache, the configuration and server are simply part of my application. (As an added bonus, since Go is statically linked, I haven't even added any external dependencies on shared libraries.)

---

I agree that the use-cases for groupcache are far more limited in scope, but I was still glad to hear that this was a library, and not a standalone server. I think we need _more_ distributed caches implemented as libraries, not less.

There are many use-cases where it may not be preferable to have a separate caching server. In my career: getting approval to install memcached on a customer's server could add _weeks_ to our deploy time simply because of red-tape; in my personal programming endeavors: setting up memcached is just an added layer of complexity that could easily be avoided by using libraries instead of servers.

I'd argue that we should leave memcached [more specifically: standalone distributed caches] for the more complicated scenarios where a dedicated solution is called for. Bring on the distributed-cache libraries where a much simpler, ad-hoc solution would be more beneficial to end-users.
Seconding The Victorian Internet. It's a fairly easy and delightful read, and is about an afternoon's worth of chugging.
I hear what you're saying and I agree with you to an extent. Sometimes the flames need fanning to get people thinking and engaged. This is one of those times I would submit.

> There is an argument to be made that surveillance/wiretapping programs require a political/legislative fix, not a technical one.

Remember when Stallman couldn't fix his printer? Do we have an analogy with what is currently happening? Our fellow techies have enabled a system of mass surveillance over us all - just like techies churning out proprietary code for corporations. Look how long it has taken for free and open-source software to make a comeback. Thirty years one could argue. That social ill never got a political/legislative fix. The GPL was a hack. Perhaps we need some kind of Stallman-like hack to act as a catalyst/seed to start pushing back against the erosion of privacy and internet freedom. Until we know for sure that the fix has to be a political/technical one then maybe we should keep the ideas and discussions flowing here. But at the same time I agree, maybe you are right, maybe this is not the right forum. But then, where is?

Even living in the EU you suffer from the patent patent systems around the world since it will influence the way companies develop/charge for products - especially if it's in a major market such as the US.

The cost of dealing with patents is just incorporated into the cost of the final product so we all suffer.
1. Awesome invention, straws that detect adulterants and change colour

2. Obviously people do get drugged occasionally, the inventor seems to have had it happen to him

3. Unfortunately there seems to be no real evidence that GHB or ketamine are often used in sexual assaults, and even Rohypnol which has the worst reputation has not often been detected. A straw that could detect a drink that's stronger than you think it is might be more useful, AFAICT the number one date-rape drug is alcohol.

(I want to be absolutely clear here, I'm not saying date rape doesn't happen, I'm not saying that some really nasty people don't deliberately get others into pliable states to take advantage of them, but AFAICT the use of drugs in the way the media likes to run scare stories about is very uncommon)
A traditional problem programmers have is thinking the lower "EE" levels are more complicated than they really are. Such as assuming a mid 2010s era level of complication for a two way communication stream in something designed in the 80s for unidirectional listening.

The way GPS works is pretty much like LORAN (well, maybe more like OMEGA) but with embedded metadata. So you've got 40 satellites who know exactly where they are and exactly what time it is and exactly what frequency is the center of their spread spectrum spread, and they're more than glad to tell you all about it. All 40 of them. Maybe you can see a dozen of them at a time?

Anyway you sync up to the SS signal and that gives you a local offset for your clock and your local oscillator and you know the exact orbital position pertaining to that delta-t (aka distance) and delta-f (aka doppler velocity). Now average together a zillion satellites and solve a least squares puzzle for the most likely location for you. Which also feeds out an internal error correction signal for your internal osc and real time clock.

All the .mil signal does is squirt out a slightly more accurate encrypted signal so you need the same key all the satellites use and the key changes rather often.
Wonder what the false positive / false negative rate is?

Either one could lead to a dangerous situation.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but note that the message you quoted - which starts with "right now" - is from over a decade ago. An awful lot has changed.
The fact that some plaintiff allegedly won a lawsuit involving junk-science claims does NOT constitute the court "quietly confirming" the underlying claim. It doesn't establish the scientific truth of the claim. It might just mean the winning side did a better job tugging at heartstrings and the jury fell for the usual rhetoric along the lines of "these people over here are suffering and that vaguely-related company over there has lots of money you can give them, so you should."

Dumb lawsuits prevail all the time. I'd be interested to see some actual evidence that in fact the MMR Vaccine causes Autism, but you won't find any at the given link.
If you find yourself going to a venue where you think one of these would be handy, shouldn't you just not go?
I don't think that was the question. The question was, I assume: Which services are being ddos'ed?
Why wouldn't something that is apparently seen as a way to circumvent government control get near-top priority?
No right answer. But many other businesses have done it. Look at SEOMoz, who've built tools centered around scraping Google results and social media pages.
Clubs and bars tend to be dark and the patrons inebriated. I have to imagine that those factors would go an awful long way toward nullifying any benefit of this stuff.

Also, if the technology involved is anything like the color-changing "field test" kits that cops use, false positives will be a problem.

An associate of mine was booked for "heroin possession" when an overzealous cop decided to test his aspirin during a traffic stop - he was released the instant he got a hold of a lawyer.

Is it possible that they simply had a similar idea? It doesnt appear that they lifted the logo as is. Look at the person in their logo; it looks quite different (it doesnt stop at the shoulders like yours does). Other things are also slightly different. These differences lead me to believe that they at least made their logo by hand. Now if it was inspired by yours i dont know. To be fair, that google link does NOT show me your logo anywhere on the page. Furthermore, I tend to go with the principle of Hanlon's razor[1].

Okay, that isn't integral though. This could easily be left out if desired. It's not coercing to a number either, it's simply concatenating. This would work with strings too or any other type that supports valueOf.

You have valid points though. I just didn't like to think of this as something that could never be used in the real world. Or at least contain little ideas that could be used in the real world. It has at least some relevance.
The Matrix Of Hell
I find it much more infuriating about "too big to fail" that nobody gives a shit about small startups who get bullied into bankruptcy by this.
I think it's helpful to do something on a project every day, no matter how minor. If I'm feeling unmotivated that could be as simple as renaming some files I've been meaning to rename, or fixing the simplest of warnings in my project. Usually by the time I've done that, I'm in the project and rolling into the next thing. Conversely, it's important to take a day or two off after more vigorous stretches of productivity.
I think that's an "it depends"; can any vaccine cause terrible side effects in a few people, possibly including autism? Yes, certainly, the FDA et. al. know some who take them will even die.

The thesis that's fraudulent is "MMR frequently causes autism", or rather, it was very convincingly demonstrated that the researcher committed fraud not to mention serious ethical violations; Wikipedia does a generally good job of covering it, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy. Except I would add that I don't respect The Lancet, it's notorious for publishing a bunch of bogus studies.

And if the thesis was valid, by now you'd expect it to have been confirmed by others.
Its like saying there was no innovation in the iPhone. I mean email, messaging, games, apps etc they were all there before right?

The innovation here is to invent practical methods of treatment(even if its a process), when you are severely strapped for resources, money, equipment and helping hands. And then do it reliably for all the patients you see over and over with a high success rate for a very affordable price.

Awesome! I only watched the first two episodes. The kid at the beginning is doing it right. The old man with the giant brushpile should be using diesel fuel, with perhaps a couple of old tires and a very tiny amount of gasoline since diesel fuel can be difficult to light. (But it burns much steadier, rather than exploding all at once.)
Oh, I don't know. It's kind of entertaining to take one crazy person ("Consumed within three hours of getting under the sheets, meals of at least 800 milligrams of cholesterol ... and 40 grams of protein produced dramatically faster time-to-sleep scores....") and rub them up against another, contrasting, crazy person ("within the globalist neoliberal paradigm, sleeping is for losers").
It's all a trade of. They rather continue planting in a region infested with plagued but with cheap labor instead of moving to a clean area with expensive labor.

Remember that the puffy piece lay the facts so that you reach the conclusion that gene changes are the only way out. Earth is huge. Cheap exploitable manpower is diminishing.
Bitcoin is the least of your problems if doing business in Thailand. Also they didn't ban zerocoin, or litecoin :P.

I think it also depends on how hard you feel you can work and learn on your own. I'm looking into the bootcamps right now because I learn better in a more regimented environment with clear goals (I'm terrible at setting goals for myself). Also, I have almost nothing in my portfolio that's programming related, and I think that a bootcamp will help me build it out more. I also want to speed up the rate of my learning, which is another advantage of the bootcamps, as far as I can tell.
Except that there's no room called the "Coworker Fuck Room", so that's a straw-man argument...

>spend work time meeting with the CFO to discuss how much we pay the auditors

I think you may have misread that section - I don't think it was about calling the auditors out on being lazy; I read it as "they're fair game to ask questions," i.e. if they're in the break room at the same time as you, ask the auditors about their career path/what they do/how to be successful like them.
It can happen anywhere, it's not just in seedy bars, I've know it to happen(at least here in the UK) in clubs with otherwise good reputations.

Ok, so where do you go for higher level political discussion. And with people who have a wide variety of political beliefs, have agreed to a practice of attempted meaningful discourse, and who might be able to do something about this stuff?

> How do you set an item's TTL?

Values stored are immutable, and expire when they are no longer used. There is no concept of a TTL.

> How do you set the maximum size of the process's cache?

The cache is broken into a set of named groups, each with their own separate cache and cache-filling method. The size of each group's cache is set when created via NewGroup[1].

I see a lot of people with the "get your head down and code" attitude, and it MAY be appropriate at the junior level.

At the senior level - as you note - someone has to make sure that the RIGHT work is being done, not simply that a LARGE AMOUNT of work is being done. That requires you to get your head up and communicate with other departments.

I found an interesting slide deck that talks a bit about spoofing and key management. [0] Apparently there are different levels of classification for keys. (pg 23) But they must be derived keys, right? The satellites are only broadcasting one signal, not multiple signals each keyed to one receiver. I think there can only be one possible cipherstream (and thus one key) in the very low bandwidth signal.

One of those situations is more dangerous than the other, I would say.
There's a very large body of political philosophy that disagrees with your fundamental assertion, though. Not everyone agrees with the Hobbesian notion of the state of permanent war in the lack of a State, or that such top-down authority is inevitable, even if they are acquainted with the argument in its favor.

In any case, that may make someone misguided, but not necessarily willing.
Thoughts on Paul Graham's "Scale"
All good points. But in most democratic countries while you don't vote for the "chief surveillance officer" you vote for the person who is his boss (unlike say, here in the UK where you can only vote for your local representative). They ought to be able to push changes down from the top and have the ultimate executive power to help them do so.
