What do you mean by this? AUFS wasn't merged in this release cycle.
(Disclaimer: I'm not part of the organizing team, but I do work for Reaktor - so this is just my opinion, not an official position.) As I've understood, the same country requirement works just like in sports: you need to be a citizen of the country if you want to play in the national team.

I would suggest contacting the organizers about your situation.
I know you don't mean it, but the air of judgement in the way you've used BDSM there, shouldn't be.

People who do practice BDSM are not somehow damaged, and would be the first to state that the "dominant" person is in fact not in that relationship.
Thanks. That makes sense as a tool for developers who don't have sophisticated unix skills. I guess quite a lot of people are targeting Linux as a production environment but come from quite different backgrounds and using different platforms for development. Once you mention vagrant it all falls into place. Nice one.

Before the 1940s that phrase in German would have translated to something other than "intellectual property." "Geistiges" doesn't translate that way in any other context.

Hi!

Very good question :) The message protocol is synchronized because of latency. When the developers test their bots against the game servers, the server allows long response times. When automated races are run in the cloud (with low latency), the response times need to be more strict.
My networking professor who worked for AT&T for years, before and after it was sold and up into the internet age. His explanation was that the phone companies (more like phone company) had existed since the late 1800's before computers, and even when they built and bought the first computers and computer networks bytes were not a unit of measurement. So the phone companies network the phone companies rules.

Edit: I'd like to add that the first networks were with dumb devices on the periphery, aka your phones, and smart devices in the core, aka AT&T computer controlled routers. There was no concept of Bytes in that network.
No, I think this is more "don't show up at NFL games expecting the coach to throw you on the field because you play in a weekend league."
>The one part of AA that can't be simply transferred to a professional therapeutic setting is the peer support.

Have you ever been to CBT or DBT? I have (not for addiction, for psychiatric illness). It is specially and absolutely practiced in a group setting, with peer support. There is also a one-to-one part too, with a professional. I was in inpatient hospitalization, outpatient hospitalization, and less intensive treatment.

>Most "treatments" only take you to the point of feeling better.

Wrong wrong, couldn't possibly be more wrong. I have personal experience, as I've said. Stop it with the scare quotes around treatment.

>treat the substance abuse as a separate concern from the rest of life.

This absolutely positively does not happen in a clinical setting. I've been in "behavioral health" treatment (which includes addiction) for many years. There have been addicts in my CBT/DBT groups. People don't stop getting help unless they want to stop. If they need more CBT, they stay. If they need it again, they will start it again. If they need to see a therapist (one that specializes in addiction mind you) more often then they are, they do. Treatment is entirely up to what the patient wants and needs. Nobody progresses at the same pace.
No. My (currently hypothetical) children will grow up with as few barriers to consuming unsavoury weirdness as I did. I'll be doing it deliberately though.
I think runtime errors are a fine way of detecting such failings. I don't understand why typing is at odds with that.

I think types make us write out the why next to the what. That why might be a domain model justification, or something much more trivial. It's also completely possible to encode an untyped regime in a type system. You're always crystallizing your design, you just can either provide good information to understand its failings and be more prepared to fix them. Or not and chase logic errors throughout an undocumented, dynamic system.
I wrote the linked article, so I take responsibility for any ignorance. It was some time ago (three years) so it maybe that we were not using the /m option at the time with MSBuild.
What's wrong with BDSM? You say it like "practicing BDSM" is a bad thing.
I think what people are trying to point out is that within the hacker community the concept of a "national team" is obsolete.

"a billion dollar fiber optic" has to come from someplace. Money costs money, which is the basic tenet of finance. If an HFT company invests a few hundred million Dollars into the trading system, the profit better beat the market. That's why I think that there are probably enough competitors in the HFT sector to squeeze the profits.

The investors who "switch to iEX" are money managers who have to place orders to diversify a portfolio. Without the new strategy they essentially pay some extra money to intermediary traders. The value of intermediary traders is hard to grasp. They do carry the risk inherent in their positions, and they provide liquidity by bridging the time-gap between the intention to buy and the intention to sell.

iEX basically seems to offer their clients the chance to bridge this gap themselves by cleverly dispersing orders over different markets and obfuscating their intentions.

Finance is a fascinating technology in itself...
When Working From Home Becomes Hell
The last part of your question/statement makes me feel you will have a very hard time finding something suitable for you.

The reason I say this, and by far don't take this the wrong way, is that mistakes, obvious or not, are an absolute requirement in business and in successful software developers. Reason being, in order to innovate, you need to treach into territory previously unexplored, meaning you need to accept the fact that there is a 95% or more of a chance that something will inevitably break, and it will break badly. Successful leaders not only accept failure, they embrace it. There is so much someone can tell you about their failures, and if you're lucky you may spot them happening to you, however there is no comparison when it happens from your own experience. A good analogy is sailing through a storm based on reading a book, or having sailed through a storm before, which do you think will complete their journey?

I also believe a big part of the so-called "PhD thinking" is they are willing to accept the fact that the 3-10 years of work they put in will be absolutely destroyed by their peers. It's that willingness to take a chance that drives them. Without it most things we know today would not exist

So basically, if you want your dream job, embrace failure and reach for the stars. Make mistakes, fix them, and make different ones
I think in this case it is more important they remind people of an important issue. Most people do not have any sort of backups.

Perhaps the instinct of adults to shield children from the likes of pornography, and even the Catcher in the Rye itself, is akin to Holden Caulfield's desire the children from becoming "phonies" like the adults who had been exposed to whatever in life he saw as the catalyst of said phoniness.

Only now after so many years from having read the Cliffs Notes do I realize that Holden was "catching" the children from the Rye that was pornography - more specifically to what J. D. Salinger had in mind, bittorrent clients and Kazaa. :)
The quote goes on and in fact references the "Rhythm & Hues" VFX company that won the Oscar for work on "Life of Pi" visual effects. While at the same time filing for bankruptcy and firing 238 employees. (Life of Pi made $609mil worldvide on budget of $120mil.) Those greedy people.
my suspicion is that governments don't really care that much about teenagers (maybe a little about children, but parents still care more). porn is just an addictive product like alcohol and tobacco and governments want to tax it (more), and they can't if it's so plentiful and easily accessible on the internet. maybe these are just first small steps towards restricting supply and imposing taxes.

That only matters because both exchanges have the same problem. I think it is definitely true that if both exchanges ran on a synchronized 1 second schedule the advantage would go away, because the information from the previous round would be uniformly available early in the next.

It is less clear to me whether fixing just one exchange fixes both or neither.

You should be, as this is one of the best investments you can make. At least in my part of the world :-)
I think "big data" is a term characterized more by the analytical techniques you apply on them rather than the size of the data. Traditional inferential statistical techniques work on "small data", while newer Bayesian techniques work on "big data" - note that this does not imply that one cannot work on the other.
The example that comes to my mind is Rosa gallica vs Rosa alba vs. Rosa damascena. Trying to understand why these are species rather than subspecies, given the ease of interbreeding (over many generations and hundreds of years), leads to very big headaches.

> It's sad that you find AA to be such a threat that you created an account exclusively to 'refute' the comments in this thread with vitriol and militant secularism.

What are you talking about? My account is 254 days ago with 1658 karma.

I am not using "militant secularism", I am presenting AA as it is, a religious organization. People like to pretend it isn't one. AA can and does work for a lot of people. That is good! It also doesn't work for a lot of people. The only thing I object to is saying AA is a cure-all or saying AA is the only game in town when it comes to addiction.

Religion isn't the cure for everyone. That's all I am saying. Some people will get behind it and it works very well for them. Some people will find it vial. We are all different.
Is "when they want a question answered" too obvious? I don't think http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/woman-wants-initiate-date would even be unusual in, say, a 10-year-old girl.

Children who aren't interested in porn actively reject it even when they accidentally find it. It's hard for me to imagine what hypothetical damage it's supposed to do.

Truly, exercise for Entrepreneurs can't be recommended enough. Before starting my Startup journey in 2006 I was 82-83 kgs (at around 6 feet, its sort of Okay). Went to 88 kgs, and felt bad in 2009. At present I am 80 kgs and feel much better.

My routine:

Runing: 7 kms on Tuesday and Thursday. 10 kms on Saturday.

Strength: Just body weight - push ups and pull ups and crunches - on Monday and Friday

Sprint runs: on Wednesday followed by some strength.

Overall time spend is about 1.5 hours each day (because I don't hurry, and a relaxed stretching session after running)

This is easy. You want a low cost index fund. Vanguard has a number of good ones. The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund is probably the best bet. 0.05% expense ratio for admiral shares, a bit more for investor shares. They're a few others that only cover the S&P 500, or include some bonds, or have more international exposure but at your age and savings level it's not worth agonizing over the differences. Just go with the broadest, lowest cost stock fund you can find.
C# compilation is fast in part because of the removal of headers and the replacement of them by well defined assemblies with interfaces. C# compilation is fast for the same reason Java compilation is fast. :)

C++ compilation is sort of screwy in that to compile a new C++ file the compiler actually has re-compile all the definitions of the libraries you are using. It is insanely inefficient compared to just using explicitly defined and immutable API interfaces on Assemblies/Modules.
I think that comparison is flawed as there's only one team per country (and discipline) sent to e.g. the Soccer World Cup or the Olympic Games, whereas here it could be potentially way more.

99% of the time the people are not "talking shit about you". Why this is a very common thought in the US is beyond me. Perhaps fear?

I learned enough Spanish to understand a few conversations here or there, or to get the gist of what they are saying. Newsflash: They're BSing about stuff like you or I would in English.

Forcing people to speak English when it is a 2nd language may actually hinder communication and team building. Perhaps something they may say could come out wrong because they don't understand the culture-specific constructs of what is or isn't appropriate.

In my former paragraph, I'm not stating that they are saying things that would otherwise be universally wrong to discuss in any language (racism, etc.) but more along the lines of word choice that may be inappropriate in a particular culture but perfectly fine in another.

The most obvious that comes to mind is the French (Quebec) word, "maudit". Literally translated, this is usually translated to "damn" (damn cat, damn dog, etc.) But they use it far more openly than we do here in the states. It's not appropriate in large work meetings and public forums to use the word. However, at the Musee de la Civilization in Quebec City; "maudit hiver" is on a sign and the literally translated statement, "damn winter" sits beneath it.

This sort of thing happens a lot amongst polyglots and people. The reality is that 'fluency' is never truly fluent, but usually close enough for every day interaction.
This is true but I guess the people who do this either don't realize or still think it's a better decision.
There are some things you can do, while you're searching - full disclosure of course, I do all these things.

First off, get a high interest savings account (or several) from your bank(s). In Canada, ING Direct does decent things (though there are better). At the very least, while you're figuring out what to do with your money, have it make more interest for you.

Secondly, look at preferred shares. They're less volatile than shares in their parent company, and they pay higher dividends. The obvious drawback being the rate of return over the long term is significantly lower than the indices themselves. Banks, at least in Canada are a great example of this, though the same is true of insurance, and power companies.

All investments bring risk, there's no such thing as a guaranteed return. And of course, investments in preferred shares are a risk, like any other stock. That being the case, they're a risk I can accept.
Lets talk about something exiting for a change, what is your personal backup policy? Here is mine:

- I backup my online accounts every two weeks. Google has full export including GMail: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788?hl=en . For some websites I use scripts to do website mirroring.

- I make full phone backup every two weeks

- I have incremental daily backups inside computer. So I have daily snapshots of my data for past 5 months.

- I have two USB harddrives, I make full backup 2x a week, every time on different USB hdd.

- online store where I backup every week (slow internet connection)

- and there is a physical off-site backup I do once a month
I think that aluminum holds up better against dings like a car door hitting your door.
If those were the only choices that need to be made, then perhaps it would be easy.
Depends on where you are, the cost of renting vs. owning, and whether you plan to move. If you expect to be moving in the next 5 years or so (more likely in your 20s than your 40s) then home ownership usually doesn't make sense.

Real estate is also a lot less liquid than stocks, and that can be a concern too.
I considered the same thing. But when you are backing up several terabytes of photos and home movies collected over many years the cost of storing them on Glacier isn't as cheap as using the unlimited service of Crashplan or Backblaze ($10 a month vs $5-6 month). Furthermore, Crashplan and Backblaze don't charge you to retrieve your data unlike Glacier, which is where it gets very expensive.
Open a brokerage account and invest in index funds. That requires the least amount of effort and is shown to provide solid gains over time.

You may also want to accelerate your home purchase plans. This is also an excellent way to use spare cash and you will get a nice tax benefit.

60,000 on a car is just like lighting money on fire, but you probably already knew that. Try to get as close to 0% interest as you can and don't pay it off with the spare cash. The money is better off earning 5% in the stock market and paying a 1.9% car loan (if you can get it).

Isn't that just bad business? It sucks they went bankrupt but if you're working on a film of that size and can't make a profit you've either spent a huge amount of money and the profits you get from the film don't cover it or you've worked out a shitty deal and you get very little profits from the movie.

Past performance does not guarantee future results - That is true for all investment types, including home ownership.

Home ownership does have very advantageous tax consequences in the US compared to other instruments - e.g.: deductible interest, tax breaks on capital gains.

But it also depends on your stage of life. If there is a good chance you'll just randomly move to a different city or country in the next few years, then i would not recommend buying a home.

Even if we had infinite space, land would still be scarce: like an IP address, we can't all use the same lawn. On the other hand, the property of land would be well accepted, and easy to enforce: people would just take what they need, plus a suitable margin. The same is (or can be) applied to IPv6 now.

As for the scarcity of movies. Well, that's a tough one. First, there is no way I can actually steal a movie —short of abducting the director, stealing the props… I mean, all I can do is download a copy at almost zero charge. Even if I shoplift a DVD, that's not stealing the movie, that's stealing a plastic disc.

The problem is, the value of the film is completely decorrelated from its scarcity. As you say, it takes resources to make a film: time, cameras, actors, props… most of which are scarce —some are not, like stock footage. Once the film is done however, the film itself is not scarce at all: it can be copied over and over at near zero cost.

The easy way out is to go back to scarcity: you know how to monetize it: just sell the artificially scarce copies. But this is obviously not ideal. Our world is sufficiently flawed as it is, adding artificial scarcity on top of it doesn't sound like a great idea.

Hence the question: how do you distribute something abundant when the production of the first copy consumes scarce resources? I don't know. But people are working on it, and have produced some ideas that are worth trying: global licence, basic income… Or maybe just lower the length of the granted monopolies, like 10 years after publication or so. Even if we can't abolish artificial scarcity altogether, we might be able to reduce it.

because BDSM hurts ? (I really don't know, I only guess that's why the OP used BDSM as an example)
Addiction to alcohol leads to cancers and withdrawals can lead to death. Psychologically, addiction can make folks violent or take unnecessary risks. Cigarettes cause cancers not only in you but in those around you. They smell to high hell too. Porn is not physically addictive and is not physically harmful. It's just as addictive as video games, television, or any other form of entertainment. If your argument against it's that it can help form unnecessary habits, we may as well ban free speech so that we can block all forms of entertainment that offend you.
It's sad no doubt but in the grand scheme of things 200 people dying is not much compared to the number of people dying each day. It's just that it scares people more because it could have been us on that plane. Someone I didn't know that works for my company was on that plane, so that hits kind of close to home. How many millions of people day every day because they don't have access to clean water? I'm just saying that the news (especially in the US) will sell whatever can get them the most eyeballs and ignore much bigger issues.
