LGBT community can rent out a conference center and hold the rally there, advertising it publicly and denying minors access to the premises. This is perfectly legal under today's LGBT laws in Russia.

But can they kiss in public? Or hold hands, even?
You may be right. It's often described as being at the cross roads of east and west. It's north of both Iraq and Iran which for most people would not be Europe.
"it baffles me people don't get pointers nowadays"

If you continue to be baffled in the face of consistent evidence then the problem is probably in you rather than in reality (or you're not actually baffled, but instead are feigning confusion as a way of projecting superiority). Honestly what's there to be baffled by? There are many programming environments that are both common and quite productive that have no pointers at all. I've gone literally years of my working life without touching a single pointer in production code.

That's an unusually harsh response I know, but I find this sort of attitude incredibly toxic, and it has hollowed out several communities I've been adjacent to. Some people know some things but not others. You can make them feel crappy by signalling that they are damaged or deficient, or your attitude can be positive and inviting.
I get what you're saying, but this is the edge case. I applaud GP for doing the right thing in the 95% case.
I've just started using duckduckgo.com. Don't have any complaints so far.
That's not my reading of this use. The title of the 1982 book is using a silly statement to poke fun at the concept of masculinity. The jab in this article reads to me as accepting the concept of masculinity at face-value, and using it to poke fun at something in technology.
A lot of the fascist collaborator countries, including Baltic states and Ukraine, are still proud of their support of fascism. The West turns a blind eye to this as its promotion of democracy is a political tool, which is a farce considering the dictatorships it creates and supports like Saudi Arabia.
Ah, Scheme.. You must be an Indiana University grad.

Only school I know that uses Scheme that much.
Sounds like it would just need some changes to their build setup to allow the PID 1 piece to be compiled statically, which doesn't seem too bad.

Of course, this may not even solve the root cause of the problem this article talks about. It would make PID 1 a little more resillient though.
> If I want to style my button, I set some properties on the button.

You cannot be serious. A 1000+ line long setup() method that creates a ton of one-off elements, sets a million properties, and saves them all as instance variables is in no way superior to using some XML to structure your elements, and then a separate, extracted layer for styling. I've done the procedural shit before, in Java, UIKit, Cocoa, you name it. There's just no way you can actually think that is better. Presentational separation is a good thing. (btw you can write your UI in the same procedural way in Javascript if you think it is superior/are a masochist).

The rest of your comment is very rambling and does not really have a point so I will hold off on replying to it. I write polished, pixel-perfect, cross-platform interfaces, and HTML/CSS is the best tool I have found for the job. Nobody will ever say it is perfect of course, but IMHO it beats the hell out of WinForms! You are right, it is a lot to learn for a 1st year developer, but you are going to get a shitty UI out of a 1st year developer, who cares?
Another Torrent Site Has Resurrected the Pirate Bay
I just don't understand Yahoo's user acquisition strategy here. I updated my Firefox to latest version a week ago and it took literally less than a minute for me to set Google as default search engine. I know that if given choice between Yahoo and Google, I'll almost always use Google for 2 main reasons: Search quality and it is just that I'm accustomed to making specific search queries on Google. The thing I don't understand here is: what Yahoo will gain by this deal with Mozilla? I mean why don't they try to improve the quality of their search product and gain users that way rather than forcing an inferior search as default on Firefox.
Nope, sorry. Wrong side of the ocean.
I'm very good at Algebraic math. But I don't think an algebraic test will show programming aptitude. While algebraic and calculus analysis are a form of problem solving that works incredibly well. It is by no means the fastest, or most eloquent way of solving a problem. Its just a single tool that a problem solver can use.

The main thing I fall back on is Heron's Problem. The classic algebraic/analytical solution is to find the local minimum of a function. Which works, this method isn't flashy yet completely functional. It requires no insight, just mentally vomiting something you learned in high school/college.

The geometric solution is far simpler, and offers insights into the foundation of trigonometry. Its really so simple and eloquent you feel like an brutish idiot doing a long form analysis.

I offer this because tools are merely tools, and math supplies many tools. You wouldn't hire a finish carpenter just based on his/her ability to swing a sledge hammer would you? I mean s/he will have to swing a hammer, but will it have to be a sledge hammer? Will they have to use a nail gun? Screw driver? I hope they are proficient in all of these tools, and since I'm outsourcing my time to them, I hope they know which tool to use at which time.

I was searching "python command line" and The top-ish of my page split open and said "you are speaking our language" or something like that. Then it said something along the lines of "do you want to take the test?" and I clicked the 'play' button-wich was wierd because erlier it had said the word 'test' so I wasn't expecting a 'play' button to be there-and I hit login, and then hit the option "create account" and it said that I had 48 hours to finish my challenge wich is "guard_game" and I have no idea what to do to solve that because at the moment I'm just working on stuff like pyhton, javascript, HTML&CSS, etc. but none of the things I've learned so far(like commands, tags, etc.) are working...how do I solve this? Everytime I do a command from it's command list it gives me a riddle like: "Scram gravy ain't wavey!" "Many smoke but foo men chew!" and "He who foos last foos best!". I remember that a FOO in math class used to be a "Form Of One",but that doesn't make sense here...

Graphite is "numbers only." You can't throw logs at it.

Influxdb will be more similar to ElasticSearch, in that it will accept logs and events, and let you query and generate graphs and subsets of the data.

ElasticSearch has more mature clustering/scaling, and last time I checked, much more efficient queries. I don't know if Influx is winning the polish game, but I suspect it depends on your use case.

Well, Adobe hasn't added support to Flash yet. Plus, given their massive display pipeline performance problems, it's quite possible that they won't be able do 4k 10-bit HEVC when it's finally added.
2 seeks. Address space doesn't matter, you have one seek to read the directory (I'm assuming 100% cold cache), and one seek to get to the page in question.

Not only that, we watched the bus on an SGI Challenge and counted cache misses and TBL misses. 2 TBL misses to get a key.

Saying that it isn't possible on a 64 bit VM system makes no sense to me. If I have a 2TB file and I seek to location A and read it, then seek to location B and read it, you are saying that's not possible? Same thing with mmap, I set a pointer to the mapping, read p, p += <number>, read p. Two seeks, two page faults, whatever you want to call it, it does 2 and only 2 I/O's to get a key/value (unless the pages are bigger than disk blocks but then those are going to be sequential I/O's, no extra seeks).
Same here. I still have a $20 Linode for production, but wanting play around and test things out without thinking too much about cost is the reason I also frequently spin up 1-2 DO VPS's.

Puts an upper limit on how harsh the debt load can get... on a month-to-month basis. If you're deciding affordability based on monthly obligation instead of total cost, you're doing it wrong.
That would be super exciting.
Sure :), but that's yet-another-thing you need to manage. You could put all that logic in a Vagrantfile. It's about reducing the number of touch points.

I definitely see your side of the argument, and we certainly have Makefiles in our projects too. Vagrant Push provides a way for an organization or team to choose what is best for them and lower the barrier to entry for developers on a project.

Fully fledged citizen and adult are two concepts that deserve a distinction: http://hrweb.mit.edu/worklife/youngadult/brain.html

Casting a defendant as a dangerous attempted murderer without ever intending to put the defendant on trial for attempted murder would seem like a good strategy for the prosecution for almost any major crime. What are the repercussions that would prevent the prosecution from making allegations that would prejudice the judge against the defendant and hamper the defendant's defense, but never producing a witness at the trial that can be cross-examined?

(My personal guess would be that Ulbricht likely discussed a murder with an agent, but the details of this discussion, whether it was initiated by Ulbricht, and the exact plan the two arrived at are not yet known. I'd also guess that whether or not Ulbricht intended to commit murder, some of these details are ones the prosecution would prefer not to become known for fear that it would damage other parts of their case.)
Not that the Netflix launch was anything cheer about. A random glance back then showed Netflix being a year or two behind on Doctor Who seasons.

Never mind that there is an aspect that keeps being overlooked, social interaction. A popular TV show or movie is not just about the experience itself, but also the chatter afterwards. Be it over the lunch room table, or over the net.

And the latter is what drives many to pirate even if they know the episode will eventually be broadcast locally. This because they are involved in the chatter about the show online, and there people will discuss the latest when it aired initially, not when it aired in some nation or other.
Because most don't even know what search engine they're using, let alone how to change it?
To build on what mitchellh said, you can also specify paths outside of the current working directory to include in the push with the `include` flag. It can be specified multiple times in the DSL as well.
I always wonder why there is never any mention of non-linear dynamics and chaos theory in discussions of climate change and, especially, mitigation.

We've changed a few variables in a complex and sensitive system by introducing a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Temperatures appear to be rising in approximate correlation to the concentration of those gases. It's naive to expect that taking out the CO2 or - God forbid - pumping out sulphur dioxide particles is going to have any predictable effect.

It makes perfect sense to me. Choose the retirement you want based on the early life you want. IOW, choose your desired outcome based on the type of effort you want to put in up front.

Your retirement only "dictates" inasmuch as you've decided that your retirement should be one way or the other.
It's only the middling scores that aren't very predictive. Scores >=80% and <=60% are strongly predictive. Only 4/17 that scored 80% or higher scored lower than a 3 on programming ability. Only 1/13 that scored 60% or lower scored a 3 or higher on programming ability.

The max total cost is 10% of your income for 20 years. After 20 years you just stop owing any money, you're done.

Making the monthly payment is more important than total nominal cost. That's because missing a payment adds penalties that make it much more difficult to get out of debt. So making sure the monthly amount is doable is really important.
Because it will probably work? A lot of people probably can't even tell the difference aside from the design
>They are technologically fully capable of providing the desired service (4K video) to the customer but as soon as HDCP 2.2 Blu-ray players and 4K content come out they are fully obsoleted

You're assuming that's a bug. It means that users will have to buy a new box to access all that content, which means the manufacturers may see it instead as a feature.
Interesting question. Vagrant push exists outside of the context of a provisioner, so I don't see what you would be provisioning in the push section. Chef will provision the VM, but the push strategy is pushing the contents of the current working directory to some external destination (like FTP or Heroku). Does that help clarify?
My first question: is this intentional or is it a bug? This wouldn't be the first time a website has mistakenly prompted a user to upgrade their browser.
And in the case of Netflix HD it's not buffering, it just dynamically drops down to super-low res for however long it needs to which is kind of worse, you're not even getting what you pay for. Not that it's necessarily Netflix's fault, it's just inherent to streaming. Which makes the push for 4K streaming a puzzling choice at best.
I agree with exactly what you wrote. I also wanted to add that adults have many things that teens don't have yet such as money, reputation, and experience. Universities tend to bolster the last two.
>Most 18 year olds are nowhere near mature enough to take college education as seriously as it deserves to be taken.

But they're mature enough to kill for and be killed for the national military (sometimes against their will), contribute to governmental policy decisions, and have children?

Just because their brains are still plastic doesn't preclude them from making good (or at least reasonable) decisions.
The opposite seems to be true. Poker is very popular on television. Chess is not.

I am someone who enjoys poker and watching chess on TV (usually an internet broadcast). The problem with chess as a spectator event is that, at least for me to enjoy it, it takes a lot of time and effort, and there is no social aspect. For example, I enjoy analyzing a game of chess myself, but it takes hours of my time and also computer analysis, and then eventually I get many "aha!" moments, once I understand why a move was (or was not) played. That's really hard to translate to a general viewing audience.

Compare that to athletic events. Anyone can watch and marvel at those who are bigger, stronger, and faster because those properties are well understood. Even without any knowledge of the sport, you can watch a sporting event with your friends while having a beer and have a great time. Probably not going to happen with chess.

With poker, at least you can cherry pick the improbable outcomes and daring bluffs, and add drama due to the high stakes often involved. It makes for very suspenseful watching when a guy risks more than our annual income with a junk hand, and he pulls it off.
As someone who's teaching data-analysis-oriented classes, I peruse a lot of open syllabi...and this was one of the most well-organized and easy to read that I've found. I'm strongly hesitant to teach R...preferring Python because it's closer to languages that I'm used to, and for its general-purpose utility...but reading through these lessons, it's hard not to be awed by what R can do, particularly in visualization.

This demonstration of using R to geocode (via the ggmap extension of ggplot2) was particularly cool (and also, as an example of the OP's organized notes, includes a copy of the data since the original link went dead): http://f.briatte.org/teaching/ida/101_geocoding.html

In terms of brand loyalty Google has removed any reason to be "loyal" to their search brand and has been operating on being better then everyone else, however its getting close for most mainstream searches and if I can support a healthy marketplace then I am all for it.

Is this even a hash table? It looks more like a regular associative array. It seems like look ups are linear in time which is ditching one of the biggest advantages with hash tables.

Also since keys are integers, how this would be useful? Isn't the same that a regular array?

> The guys who offer a much better service (in almost every way)

If you need a few small VPSs to play around and test things out, and are fine with the (very) occasional performance / bandwidth degradation, I don't see how Linode offers you a "much better service", at least in terms of cost.

I have a Linode VPS for production, but find myself often spinning up and tearing down DO VPSs for experimentation.
>With respect to societal goals I think it is also important to realize that we often want conflicting things and that in the US we struggle with societal goal setting (just look at the absurdity of the debates over healthcare because we essentially refuse to articulate and decide on societal goals around health).

Of course the US refuses. To decide on goals about health would imply that there are higher values than the pursuit of capital accumulation.
Being the default is a huge deal. You only need to look at how many people are still on IE (8!).

Plus, search quality is a very subjective matter. I have Bing on my phone for a while (mostly to avoid Google's redirect links), and I hardly notice it any more.
He's pointing out that those stuck on a leap day are still stuck.

I think you can deduce some correlation just by noting that the upper left and lower right parts of the graphs are relatively empty. Certainly there are statistical tests that would be more concrete. You can see some figures in the bottom right corners, but they're never discussed in the text.
It reminds me of the non-HDCP HDTVs that used to be available (especially projectors IIRC). We know this stuff is guaranteed to be obsolete, but people are buying it anyway. At least most of those receivers don't cost $10,000.
I pay for Netflix every month. Still I use XBMCtorrent to watch most TV series and movies. Many things are not available on Netflix or a similar service. Even if they're available on Netflix, most of the time they don't have subtitles in my native language, seeking is slow, there is not flexibility in the resolution. XBMC just provides me a better user experience.
>> "how on Earth to artists, musicians, journalists, authors, etc. ever get paid for anything?"

There is exactly 0 danger of running out of creative people, regardless of whether or not they get paid. The creativity is built into the human psyche at a low level; it existed long before money, and it will exist long after our civilization has crumbled. In fact, we could totally ban music/painting/whatever, and creativity would still be extremely common.

Whether or not there exists an entertainment _business_ has nothing to do with promoting the creation of art. In fact, the industrial-entertainment complex is probably a net drag on creative expression via crowding-out effects.
I would say that it requires algebraic thoughts. You are assigning a placeholder for "x" as "that number that would fit in the middle here". To me, that seems algebraic. Especially at this very, very basic level of algebra we are discussing.
For the people who prefer to bikeshed around gender issues and don't know their history of programming languages: this is not just a pun on that book, but also on the essay "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal" published in Datamation magazine in 1983. Which is by the way correct in pointing out that Real Men use neither Vi nor Emacs, but TECO. Oh yeah, and Real Man is a gender-neutral title in this context, like "fireman".
> I and your readers on a PC or Mac could intercept the 4K [content] and therefore transmit it to a country that doesn’t have the rights.

Wow, maybe if there's a country full of people so eager to watch your content that they'll steal it you should, I don't know, sell them the rights to watch it? Of course, I'm just a simple nobody. I guess you have to be a fancy movie studio executive to understand how you make more money by preventing people from accessing your content.
That may be true for you, but I assure you that is not generally the case.
