I find that surprising. I view Agile as the framework, and SCRUM as a specific instance of an agile process.

With SCRUM dictating that you should have X meetings of Y hours length producing artifacts A, B, C, that sounds like a process to me....
I don't know why you're being downvoted, these seem like reasonable questions to me.

If I lifted you up and put you down in Austin, are you saying you'd be completely unable to find work?

No, but I'd certainly prefer to find work before moving.

If one single person can move first and find a job second, why can't one married person do the same (on the assumption that the other one has already found a job)?

There are a lot of dual-income couples who would be severely stressed by losing one of their incomes.
The arduino yun [1] combines an linux-based SoC with a microcontroller on a single board. So you can have both, networking and applications in practically any language, and an internal interface to a microcontroller.

For only accessing a rs232 serial port over ethernet, there are easier solutions. But if you need multiple of such ports, sensor access, etc. its quite a nice combination.

dist-upgrade does not mean distribution upgrade, it just handles additional dependencies after an upgrade and it may remove some packages if necessary.

Yes, AQL was inspired by XQuery.

I think SQL is really good for querying relational databases.

Actually we started with implementing something like SQL's SELECT clause in the very beginning of ArangoDB. The rationale was: "why invent another language? SQL is everyhwere, so let's use it!".

We very soon found that SQL is not a good fit for working with semi-structured data. There is no definite schema for a collection in ArangoDB, so it is unknown which attributes (think: columns) a document (think: row) will have. Thus using standard SQL would have introduced a lot of potential ambiguities. Example:

SELECT a, b, c
FROM c1
INNER JOIN c2
ON (c1.x = c2.y)

When inspecting the above query initially, the database has no idea if attribute "a" will come from c1 or c2. Each document in both collections can have an attribute "a", "b", "c" or none at all. So a query like the above could throw an ambiguity error at runtime only, and not at query compile time. Fully qualifying attributes with "table" names would have worked (e.g. "SELECT c1.a"), but would be a deviation from standard SQL, which doesn't require that. And then people would have asked "they claim to support SQL. But why doesn't my SQL statement work in ArangoDB?". Probably a lot of confusion.

Apart from that, it is common to have multi-valued attributes in document databases (and thus in ArangoDB). Think of an attribute which itself is a list.

SQL really is not designed for this. Putting a horizontal lists into a single attribute/column is an anti-pattern in the relational world. Instead, you would normalize most data into separate n:m mapping tables etc., and join them later.

No need to do this with a document database: horizontal lists are supported, and there is less NEED for normalization. It is up to you how to model the data.

With all that in mind, we very soon switched to a language we thought would better fit a non-relational database such as ArangoDB.
We intentionally decided against using SQL keywords, to avoid confusion.

I hope the decision for starting AQL now is little more comprehensible.
"Tracking down bugs" is a previously unsolved problem. It may not be difficult, but it also may require as much creativity as writing something new.
Have not read the piece yet, but your comment resonated with me.

I'm at a similar place in life, especially after being a terribly critical person almost all my life. Thankfully, the best takeaway for me from my so far below-par tryst with entrepreneurship has been to be much more appreciative of everything.

All the things that are wrong are things that can also be improved, so, these days, I try to think of what I can do to improve them.

Ok, maybe that's the case in the US/Canada only then. But try travelling around the world with your credit card, and you will be charged commissions when using your card abroad.

By the way, there's nothing free even if it's free for you. Merchants have to pay the cost of providing Mastercard / visa payments and that cost makes it to the price of goods they sell. So you are paying the cost no matter what.
As aianus said, credit cards can easily be free! (pretty sure merchants are the ones who pick up the bill for that privilege)

You are right that the international transfer of bitcoin is very useful - but to say there are no commission or fees is not true.

If you start with Australian dollars and you want BTC, you pay fees and commission when you buy/sell BTC. Then you pay mining fees (if you want to support the ideals of BTC), and then to transfer back into Euros you would pay fees/commission with whatever exchange you're using.

Granted, it is going to equate to less than the % you would pay if you did it with your bank. However I still feel having a fixed exchange rate is worth something.

Sex. Infant's sex. Gender is rarely known at that stage.
I think you're confusing the sociological/social justice definition of gender with the literal one. In the case of the latter, sex and gender are synonymous.
You beat me to it. Gender is not sex.
I made it fork. Now, on my netbook, it's able to handle in the neighborhood of a thousand requests per second and 20 megabytes per second, with up to 2048 concurrent connections. Not, I think, spectacular performance, but acceptable for many purposes. You can still DoS it by opening 2048 concurrent connections to it; as long as they are open, it will open no new connections, and it has no timeout.

This has bloated the executable up to 2088 bytes.
How exactly does that work?
You're right that the association between unemployment rates and available jobs can be problematic. A 55 year old unemployed office worker from Nevada will not be able to fix fracking equipment in the Bakken Shale.

But if the unemployment rate falls to extremely low levels as it has in North Dakota it means that job availability has trickled down from one specific booming industry to basically everything. So there will be a job opening for that 55 year old office worker.

Still, it's possible that rents there are sky high and it might not make economic sense to move just to take a job at a burger joint.
Synology NAS servers will do that. Many of them are ARM-based, they run Linux - albeit a cut-down version, but there are add-on package managers to install more stuff (and SSH access is available without any hacks). They are quality IMO. However, they are not cheap hardware.

I'm well aware that credit card payments are not free for the merchant, and I ask if there's a cash discount whenever possible (gas stations and family owned businesses).

That said, the alternative of using cash has its own costs in the form of more robberies and accounting and transportation and security. Those costs are also passed onto the consumer eventually.
First a search engine for animal related non profits near you. Then get out of the computer, take your car, drive there and talk to them.

These folks are usually not very well connected to the internet. Even if they are and you can email them, don't.

Go talk to them in-person. We as computer scientists, ops engineers, designers, etc. think the world turns around the internet and that one can solve anything with it. That's wrong. Or at least it's not completely true. But it can help.

I've been looking into making an impact to non-profit for a while now and I my professional (technical) skills are surprisingly useless for 'most' of these non profits.

But there are some and I know it is possible to go talk to them and show them that technology can make their life much easier.

The non-profits you will visit most likely have more urgent needs like finding placements for their animals, buying blankets, etc. Things that technology can barely help. They more likely need advocates, people who know how to raise fundraising more than someone who can revamp their website or make sure it has SSL and is deployed automatically.

However, don't feel down. I am absolutely convinced you can make their life easier and you should. Especially since you seem really motivated by this. However, expect to work a bit with them before: cleaning cages, walking the animals, etc.

Then maybe you'll have an idea that can bring technology in their life to empower them and make them much more efficient.

Technology is a tool to help humans achieve a goal it is not an end by itself.

Well, I digressed a bit :D I hope you'll forgive me ;)
Jews are democratic at similar levels (though a much smaller portion of the population). And hispanics are shown affiliating republican at levels only slightly higher than blacks do. More of them call themselves independent, but they still vote like democrats.

Anyway, the fact that race is poorly predictive when the race is white doesn't make it a bad predictor generally. If you ask for a US resident's race and get a nonwhite answer, you've gained quite a bit of information about their party affiliation.
I hacked on httpdito some more, and it has been improved in several ways:

- it now forks so that it can handle multiple concurrent connections (up to a limit of 2048);

- it no longer uses libc at all, so it's down to 2088 bytes (I had it lower, but then I added forking);

- it's less complex now that it only has one way of invoking system calls instead of two;

- there are some performance results in the comments.

- it has a name, "httpdito";

- strlen works correctly.

Probably nobody will read this comment here, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Also worth checking that the hw is good enough to fill a gigabit connection. Many of the cheaper machines (for instance, the WD MyBook World, like in the article) cannot really sustain gigabit disk<->network transfers. The limiting factor is often the CPU or a slow bus connecting the NIC, hard drive and CPU.

The bit about heavy industry clumping together while service industries spread out seems a bit strange when you consider knowledge industries that the creative class works in. These also tend to clump together. As a computer programmer, the Bay Area holds far and away the best opportunities for me; the runners up (Boston, NYC, Austin, Seattle) barely compare. As a petroleum geologist, my sister has basically 3 options for cities to live in: Houston (ConocoPhillips, BP, Chevron), New Jersey (Exxon), and San Francisco (Chevron). If you want to make movies, you move to LA. If you want to work in finance or advertising, you move to NYC.

This is a fantastic feature, and something that preprocessors like SASS/LESS cannot do without complicated workarounds.

There are often times in my CSS workflow where I want to do something similar to this:

.widget
$padding: 3px
$activeColor: $color1
$inactiveColor: $color2

padding: $padding
/* ... etc. */

.subWidget
$padding: 6px

.subWidget2
$inactiveColor: $color3
/* ... and so on */

With preprocessors, this doesn't work - you're better off defining a mixin that you feed variables into, which isn't the most intuitive approach. I hope this is adopted quickly by the major browser vendors. Unfortunately, writing your styles in this way will completely break in browsers that don't support it, in the absence of some sort of polyfilling JS or build tool.
Yes.

To clarify: dist-upgrade upgrades everything, including installing or removing new dependencies. Upgrade upgrades the installed packages, but doesn't add or remove new packages. In theory only using "upgrade" is supposed to be safer (eg more unlikely to break something) but I have not encountered any problems when using dist-upgrade (disclaimer: when you rely on the standard distro repositories; if you use unstable programs/repos or 3rd party repos/PPAs in Ubuntu, it is more likely that dist-upgrade breaks something).

But I do not agree with what ksdkkdddd said. There is not really a use to do upgrade and then dist-upgrade right after it, because upgrade doesn't magically fix something in case dist-upgrade breaks something. It works or it does not. Also if you use apt from the terminal (as you should) and not rely on graphical updaters you always get output on what may prevent upgrading and how to resolve it.

"all the joins are done in client code"

What's the point of joining in the application level? If you're going to join, why not do it in the database? That should be both faster and more convenient (unless your schemas aren't relational at all, in which case I don't see why you'd use a relational database)

I was expecting an article on why Americans don't riot, given the circumstances and the trend.
I think you do not understand why I mentioned Ramanujan. He said in his own words that mathematical facts just came to him while dreaming from a god. Since there is no methodology given for his findings he is a crook, right?

As for early scriptures, suppose after 5000 years if the current civilization is no more and the future generations get hold of a book with no mathematical proofs but astounding facts which clearly state the technological advancements of our time, they should just call it "pseudoscience". Yeah, right.

Personally I believe that if somehow you are proud of only the things YOU have done, you have got way too many problems of your own to take care of.

The fact that you couldn't google a simple fact says a lot about your "achievements/accomplishments" too. Here you go http://alishekh.blogspot.in/2009/05/speed-of-light-in-rig-ve...

It's pretty simple Sanskrit, it's not even riddled, it's plain Sanskrit. If you understand even a little Sanskrit (I do) the translation will make sense. Of course you could trust the author of the article too for having done a good job in translating and explaining. And just so you know that guy who has written this seems to be a Muslim, so zero benefit in advancing the said "propaganda".
If you can derive this and prove it, shouldn't this optimization be done (theoretically) completely automatically by the compiler?

If he's so "patriotic" and so proud of him being a cyber spy, why didn't he jump out earlier to defend NSA's position? Why did he only come out and write an blog a few months late and around the same time as CBS 60 minutes NSA interview? I say this is a NSA propaganda.

> However, I still hadn't reached maturity, I just had a complete reversal and started writing everything in Haskell instead.

I've been through these phases too. But they keep on recurring time after time. I've been writing everything in C, then C++, then Haskell, then back to C and this has been going on for years.

Well at least both Haskell and C have good educational value, so even if it is a bit odd, you're still learning valuable skills.
Yeah, and that's where Bitcoin can improve over both credit card and cash, by providing a reliable service with way lower costs for the merchant.
You should move the survey response bars into a more neutral organization, otherwise it places "respectful" and "team player" in a context where they appear to be lacking compared to your other traits. Also, I believe you mean 'persistent' in your scrolling text bit at the top.
Wow, I'm really not used to the manner people today blow their own horns. It used to be only politicians would dare do that, but apparently everyone and their "younger artistic sister" find it okay now.

Which is probably not a bad thing (if you can't say good things about yourself, who else will?) -- it's just that it makes me feel I'm from another planet entirely.

Lately I have to think a lot about what context switching does to me. It is known that a lot of context switching is turning you in a kind of 'stoned' state. These days the world is bloated with stimuli and I think that's one of the reasons it's hard to keep a fresh mind.

Without a fresh mind it's hard to make choices. Choices to move for example.

Maybe people are also staying put because they just can't think clearly about the choices they have.

The long-term benefits may be tenuous or as-yet undetermined, but the short-term benefits are so overwhelming that the WHO paper to which you link states quite clearly, citing the WHO Global strategy for infant and young child feeding:

That's WHO guidance. They don't broker much consideration for formula milk in that statement.

Where shall we go from here, other than calling something good vs bad?
