This is more applicable for a "normal" type of bad day that might occur a bit more frequently, rather than something on a much larger scale like what was experienced above.

If you have something planned after work (or later in the day), but because of your "bad day" you don't feel motivated to do it when the time arises, it's important to still do it. It could be anything from working on a side project, doing some exercise, cooking a nice elaborate meal, etc.

If you don't then will suffer two blows: (a) have a bad day, and (b) not enrich your day by doing what you had planned.

e.g. Your plan might have been to do some exercise, but you get home, feel like crap and decide to have a few beers to help yourself feel better. Or you planned on cooking something nice, but feel like getting takeaway instead.

Sure, sometimes you might need to concede (especially for a big let down). But it should not become the norm.

Furthermore, if by doing your planned after-work activity you manage to overcome the negative vibe from your bad day, you're more likely to go to bed feeling better about yourself, what you have achieved lately, and be more optimistic about what lies ahead tomorrow (and how to deal with it).

There's a possibility for hybrid approaches, where interesting content is generated procedurally from a corpus of real-world content. For example, lichess generates chess puzzles by [procedurally analyzing real-world games](http://en.lichess.org/blog/U4sjakQAAEAAhH9d/how-training-puz...).

Imagine a tactical warfare game that drew from actual military upsets. I think this would avoid the same-yness problem.
Remember that Minecraft is a very different sort of game than No Man's Sky. Minecraft is a completely destructable/constructable world. You can demolish the entire world down to the bedrock and build whatever you want in addition to or in replacement of what existed previously. That's why some sort of segmentation system is necessary, there needs to be some sort of unit of interactability/construction/destruction, and for Minecraft that unit is a 1m block. No Man's Sky isn't like that, it's not filled with world's you change, just world's you visit and explore. Because you don't need that fundamental unit of interactability you can use more traditional world modeling that looks more like what we've come to expect 3D worlds to look like.
I feel like you've ignored everything I've said up to this point. If the article had simply been an account of those four women's experiences, I would likely have no criticisms of it.

Instead, it's written as a hit piece and men are the target. I know exactly how hyperbolic that sounds, but it is the truth.

At every opportunity, men are painted as the problem: men aren't listening, men aren't doing this, men are saying that, men need to read this entire article of Do's and Don'ts to dictate their behavior towards women.

See my other comment in this thread[1] for just a few excerpts from the article I take issue with. I could provide more, as that's only going as far as the very first anecdotal account, but I would think they would be sufficiently convincing.

It's not so much a question of which device, but which browser. Chrome and Firefox provide WebGL well for Android, and once i0S 8 comes into the fold support will be pretty widespread.

WebGL is a presentation of OpenGL through the browser, so we
leverage an existing skill set with an existing API. This
is dramatically different from the case with VRML.

Hmm. Maybe because we don't need a new high-level language Python or Ruby, but there are opportunities for better low-level languages?
I agree, but for me it's important that the constraints be real. Sometimes when people hear that constraints are good and people love doing the impossible, they just make up arbitrary impossible constraints for their team.

I totally agree with you on shifting away from manager-centric approaches. I really like the Lean focus on customer value. Out from that center are people who directly add value: line workers, engineers, designers. Managers become necessary overhead (when they're just coordinating) or indrect value-adders (when they're helping tune the processes that actually add value). That's in contrast to the traditional western approach, where managers are bosses, people whose opinions win because they're big kahunas.

"If Iron Dome isn’t effective, then why have so few Israelis died from rocket fire?"

Because the threat of rockets is over-hyped as part of the justification for the slow-motion war going on. Israel got about 90% of the way finished taking over the area and then had this pesky treaty thing interfere.

So now they use any and all excuses to try to finish the job and completely take over the West Bank and other Palestinian areas despite the war supposedly being over.

Which means a lot of lying and propaganda.

What Israel is doing to Palestinians is not quite genocide, but actually approaching that. Thousands of civilian injuries, hundreds of deaths, tens of thousands displaced by military offensives.

Israel of course uses the "terrorist" device to full effect by labeling any small amount of military resistance that comes from Palestinian territory with that word.

I actually went on odesk to try to find help with my startup recently and without realizing the seriousness of the situation in the entire area (not just the West Bank) contracted a very experienced and smart system administrator who lives in Hebron (and happens to be Palestinian). I did not realize what that meant at the time. Now I just don't look at the news related to that area because it always makes me wonder if the guy I was hoping to train as my Support Engineer is actually still alive or not.
I'm curious how they are ever going to stop handmade rockets.

Apparently all it takes it fertilizer and sugar to make them.

The range is only going to get further as they get more sophisticated.

I wouldn't say that. SSTO's are pretty trivial in KSP (even rocket SSTO's with only classical chemical engines, none of the RAPIER/SABRE stuff).

8 Rockomax 48-7S (little orange engine, stuck on with 8 small cube struts) + 1 Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank (the large gray tank, one size below the big orange tank) will put a capsule in orbit around Kerbin pretty easily. No such luck in real life.

Typically KSP engines have worse performance than real engines, but Kerbin is pretty small.

My reasoning is that Mr. Itoh put an intern in charge of a system that could cause major damage. It's like giving the intern keys to your AWS console and shitting your pants when he terminates all you EBS root disks that you didn't back up.

Mr. Beck wasn't culpable because he didn't understand the full effects of his actions or the tension of the current situation. Ioth should not have let Beck in the door that morning and he should not have given that much power to the intern.

Firefox has been losing market share for some time now, and this trend will only continue as long as Firefox's performance problems go unaddressed

Firefox's problem is shedding it's past reputation. It really isn't that slow anymore - it depends on what you're doing in the chrome vs firefox wars. I work with a bunch of chromeheads, and they all spurn ff because of that past reputation.

In actuality, they have as many problems with chrome as they do with firefox - I'm constantly saying "[bug] not evident on firefox" and they express puzzlement that The Awesomeness That Is Chrome actually has a problem other browsers don't. Not to mention that a lot of the bugs I do run into on FF are because of their 'designed-on-chrome-for-chrome' default mindset. The bugs do get sorted out, but the perception that FF is so much worse than chrome isn't reflective of the truth of the matter. They're pretty similar these days, swings and roundabouts.

Scalzi: Subscription Services and My Writing
Hawala has fascinated me to no end, as essentially an anarchistic peer-to-peer web-of-trust banking system. It has existed for a long time, and keeps functioning even where traditional banking systems have broken down. As cool as Bitcoin is, I have more hope for a system akin to Hawala than some proof-of-work based system. Guerilla banking that depends on having more (computational) power than your enemies isn't too realistic. PGP'd remittances are much more cryptographically robust, and depend just on the one factor that any real monetary system relies on anyway: human trust.
The thing about averages is it hides the good and the bad into one lump number. If your systems were forced to rapidly scale up, maintain various features, and need to refactored/rearchitecured, your probably seeing more than 5 alerts a month. Which makes something like neptune.io usefull since customizing the response based on alerts is your only choice in the short term. Not many if at all any services out there offer solutions to poorly functioning systems. And just to add, at the pace some startups grow, you'll never have a perfect set of systems in place, so you just deal with things as they come. Great systems are a luxury for startups.

Reading comprehension...

I had 30,000 servers, all but 6 of them were not getting hard resets. 6 of them were getting hard resets every hour because they were sick.

Occasionally a ntpd on a server would go a little crazy and it would get a few hard resets. This script got it back into spec so that it didn't need hard resets.

I mentioned specifically that you can't send hard resets to ntpd more than about once an hour or it won't have time to settle and you'll wind up in a situation where you are constantly sending hard resets to it (which is bad).

I took out the nightly forced hard resets of ntpd specifically because it affected monotonic time.

If you look at the algorithm I wound up with ntpd will only be reset if:

a. it is already crashed and not running

b. it is self-reporting that it is out of synch

c. is is more than 50ms out of synch with an upstream time server

In all of those cases, you have already lost the battle to get sub-microsecond accuracy.
Not entirely. They'd have to invalidate multiple levels of caching and then dynamically update all feeds that could have the link displayed.

Or, with t.co, they disable the link from a single source and the problem is solved.

Fire phone review: A unique device, but you're better off waiting for the sequel
Very nice mate. I built something similar as well, in truth it's just a starter theme I use for client projects running on Wordpress. Feel free to borrow ideas from it (if anything interests you): https://github.com/Vheissu/Startpress - in my theme I am using Gulp instead of Grunt to compile/minify/compress images in the theme, I also added in a JSON API (turn any page into an API) by appending stuff to the URL.

Some advice I have is:

* Move all of the HTML out of the function mobile_meta() in your functions.php file. You could just edit the header.php and add it in there, that way you're not polluting your functions file with HTML.
* Maybe consider implementing a front-end package manager like Bower for dependencies (I'm in the process of doing this for my theme)
* Remove the inline Javascript from the footer.php into a theme specific Javascript file (that way it gets minified/combined with the rest and is easier to manage)

Other than that, looks pretty awesome. You've done a great job and it's nice to see other developers out there wanting to make the process of building Wordpress themes more automated and nicer.
There is some truth to what you say. But:

'Israel of course uses the "terrorist" device to full effect by labeling any small amount of military resistance that comes from Palestinian territory with that word.'

When this "military resistance" takes the form of firing rockets at the civilian population, it's terrorism by definition. As is Israel's use of collective punishment against Palestinian civilian families.

EDIT: Some have responded that the Palestinians lack any kind of targeting technology. It seems to me that if you're firing rockets without the ability to select a military target, then the only purpose of your rockets is to create terror. Also, by Israel's imposition of "collective punishment" I did not have in mind measures such as checkpoints that might be necessary for security. I meant such things as bulldozing houses and the use of sonic booms to harass civilians.

What makes Jekyll (and other static blogging engines) so great is that they give you far more flexibility than CMSes in certain areas. Just the other day, to see if I could do it, I wrote a Jekyll plugin to parse LilyPond music notation inside a custom Liquid tag[1]. After a day or two of research and fiddling — including learning basic Ruby — I can now have beautiful sheet music in my blog posts without any actual binary dependencies server-side. (In other words, the generated site is unencumbered by my build pipeline, and I don't have to worry about maintaining LilyPond/Inkscape on my server.) If I want to change the output in the future — PNG, SVG, even HTML/CSS — I don't have to touch my original Markdown content at all; it's just another render pass. And the best part is, Github will host the HTML files for free, regardless of whether Jekyll is actually running server-side or not. All your site updates are just a git push away.

The idea that your Markdown articles are definitive, that you can add custom grammar, and that your blog is strictly a view into your writing rather than a separate content platform, should be very appealing to programmers!

Here's one of those over-hyped rockets fired at Israel nearly daily, a mere 175kg warhead of explosives and shrapnel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr-5

175 kilograms. A suicide bomber, capable of killing dozens and maiming many more, would usually only carry about 10kg on their body.

You're living in the comfort of your first world country (which at some point of history was, surely, involved in a bloodbath of one kind or another), and criticize those who need to fight for their lives and their loved ones. What the fuck do you know about the Middle East, its history, culture and how conflicts are solved there? Are you spreading your enlightenment around, Bush style, spewing your opinions of those who have to live through a reality you are thousands of miles away from?
Why do you believe that they are mainly firing at civilian population? That's just what the Israeli media says.

Switching power supplies were not needed for consumers until labor & material cost of linear supplies became exorbitant enough to drive all manufacturing overseas.
