I know of a company that does this, too. It IS possible to report individual reviews, and I did just that with several obviously-faked reviews from management. Glassdoor responded that management and CEOs have a right to post reviews, too. That's great, and I totally agree, but I reported multiple reviews that didn't claim to be management at all, they claimed to be developers and designers who loved their jobs.

Meanwhile, I had to rewrite a negative review because someone claimed that I was revealing trade secrets. Unless treating your employees like shit is a trade secret, I did no such thing.

In my experience, Glassdoor reviews aren't worth much. They can be taken down for inane reasons, but won't be for legitimate problems.

Also, while it's promising that this doesn't increase heart rate or blood pressure, weight is just one factor in overall health.

True, but it's a very telling factor. Past a certain upper threshold, weight will have adverse impacts on a person's health, eg joint issues at a minimum. It's fairly easy and logical to look at a skinnier person (above a certain lower bound) and predict they will have fewer medical issues than a fat person. Of course, this is judging by certain proportions, hence why the BMI was invented (and before anyone goes off on the inaccuracy of BMI, just realize that unless body fat percentage is below a certain threshold (eg high-level athletes), BMI is a fairly accurate predictor of health).

Good point. Using median income as the measure, France compares closely with the US, while Spain improves but is still ~50% of the US value.

The parent point however that France and Spain are able to build railroads at 1/5 and 1/10 the rate of the US needs some reference.

> I don't see how changing to a 13 month calendar would affect the first full moon after the spring Equinox, since the lunar cycle doesn't mesh with the solar one.

Just checked... you seem to be correct. The lunar calendar isn't aligned with this well enough. While the equinox date is fixed, the first full moon after that should bounce around by several days at least. Even allowing that it's always the Sunday after that, it still seems as if it could fluctuate by a week in either direction.

Sadly, a lot of CE stuff was deemphasized years ago.

> However the the compiler and library support is very limited. Don't even discuss about C++11

Back when I was on the compiler team, it was a bit before the revitalization of Native had happened at MS, so there wasn't the huge push that there is now. I am sad to hear that CE never got the same compiler love that Windows on ARM got. (All that happened well after I had left.)

> Maybe it's different when you build applications that only target CE. But when you want to have code-sharing between embedded target and normal PCs then working with embedded linux is here a much more pleasent experience where you can run the same code on the target and have state-of-the-art tooling.

Back in the glory days, you did have the same tooling, for anything non-kernel related you got VS support! (If you were doing kernel work you instead dealt with Platform Builder.)

One advantage of One Core at Microsoft is that everyone gets the same tooling now. There was an entire team who had to support a debugging platform for WinCE, but Visual Studio at the time (and to a much lesser extent now) was not designed to support plugging in new debugging frameworks. Thankfully it is now /possible/, back then it required that the WinCE team fork all of VS!

Suffice to say this was a huge headache and it was responsible for a large part of why WinCE's dev story was so unpleasant.
I disagree strongly as well. For example if you have something like ng-show="is_admin()" and $scope.is_admin = function() { return $scope.logged_in && $scope.role='admin' } or some other complexity reducing function, I don't understand how that would be significantly less performant than copying and pasting the return statement everywhere in your html.
Create an angular factory with a standard observer pattern. So you register the callback with something like MyFactory.register(updateUI()); and call MyFactory.notify(); after userService.logout(); which calls all the registered functions.
When rifled bullets are fired in parabolic trajectories into the sky, they retain enough horizontal velocity to easily kill. There are numerous examples of people being struck and killed by bullets that were fired into the air (typically in celebration of something inane).

Lightweight rounds, such as birdshot, are safe when fired into the sky. That is the exception.
Ironically, given your definition, a Mac Mini, which is about 1/4th to 1/8th the power of a Mac Pro, would be considered a server. There are even Data Centers (MacMini Colo) that are dedicated to shelving Mac Mini's for such a purpose.

Perhaps the whole "Server/Workstation/Client" segmentation doesn't make sense after all.
I dislike the condescending attitude of the author towards the young adults (referred to in the article as "children") attending college. The author claims that leaving home to live at college poses a "serious psychological risk". Are we talking about 18-year-olds or 5-year-olds? Are we afraid that these more-or-less fully fledged citizens, whom we allow to drive, smoke, enlist, vote, marry, and have children, are going to end up crying for their mommies and daddies because they left home too early? Ridiculous.

Where these "psychological risks" exist, it's probably more a symptom of failing to ween teenagers from parental dependence and teach personal responsibility than it is a symptom of college life.

To quote a younger friend of mine, who started college this year after bumming around Europe for a while: "After spending a few months 'in the wild', living in this relatively very supervised college environment seems absolutely mundane."
College was originally for people who acted like grownups -- at 18 years old -- because those who went 100(+) years ago were expected to take it seriously.

Unfortunately, as time has gone on, at least in the US, colleges are spending more and more money on 'club-med'ing their dorms and such, giving the wrong impression of why you are on a campus to begin with -- and colleges are somewhat complicit in not caring nowadays about your success either, just in taking money from as many students as they can fill the place up with each year.
Sam, I'm just just wondering if you could expand on your productivity advice? You said that you:

- Have 1 piece of paper with 3-12 month goals that you look at every day

- Have a tool/paperstack/book? for each day of these goals? Can you expand on this?

- Have a tool/paperstack/book? for each employee? Can you expand on this?

I'm working on my own method similar to this and I'm just curious about your preference of paper vs. book vs. tools.

Thanks in advance! Micah

As for GC, I am not sure it makes much of a difference as it used to back in the days. Probably even less when 2.2 ships with incremental garbage collection. It always depends on the type of work your app does also.
I think I would agree with you more if we were talking about Java on a full implementation basis (actually using the nuances of the language at a high level vs just learning the basic concepts such as variables and control structures common to most languages).

I also found Turing machines and automata much easier than conventional math classes. The point I was making was not that they are necessarily harder, but rather that they require a different type of mathematical thinking than your typical algebra based math. I would wager the same true for discreet math.

As for functional languages, I admittedly have never programmed in one and perhaps spoke out of personal ignorance. I have, however, heard from colleagues that back my original statement. It's basically hearsay, so take it or leave it.

Surely that pretty much concedes that the prosecution are right. If he wants to kill people then he does pose a significant threat to the witnesses.
If you were rooting for the criminals there's no reason to feel sad for them. The founders got away with a nearly perfect crime - they declared an unknown group of people owned the site, kept all the money they made, and did very short prison sentences.

This is about the best possible outcome they could have had - they're free now and will probably never be held accountable again. Sunde even got to be "outraged" at how much money TPB made lol!

Spatial reasoning is very helpful for me, particularly when designing data structures and algorithms. When reasoning through a problem, I can often be found making shapes in the air with my hands. Easier than getting up and walking to the whiteboard. :)
In Germany, and perhaps other countries, police are instructed to fire warning shots.

It is only because German police have to fire their guns so infrequently that this has not caused innocent fatalities. The practice violates numerous firearm safety rules.

It was a rhetorical question, and at the time it did add something to the discussion by way of saying "hey, this is not a problem unique to these Chinese officials". To be fair, it was phrased as a joke, and didn't have much in the way of exposition--because I assumed people wouldn't need it spelled out for them.

As usual, a bad assumption.
Hey, sorry that you find it confusing!

Part of the problem is that we have a couple different products, and they're not all directly comparable with New Relic. Hence the lack of a central pricing page.

TraceView is our offer that's 1:1, as you found, and it's priced monthly per host. The "unlimited" is meant to be "you can buy as many as you want", vs. the "Startup" plan, where you can have a max of 5 hosts. Does that make more sense? (I'd be more than happy to change it to something that makes more sense!)
I became pretty interested in this topic not too long ago. Convex hulls are pretty well understood. I wanted to figure out a decent notion of "concave hull" (which is not a uniquely defined construct, unlike the convex hull). It turns out alpha shapes are pretty well suited to this:

Stalin was loved by most of the Russians. There were more tears cried over his death than over Kim Jong-il's, and to this day many Russians keep Stalin's pictures in their homes.

I believe that the West underestimates the strength of the Russian people, and their unsatisfied dreams of becoming the world superpower. Sadly, I think that this "violation of the pact" you are writing about is not serious enough to cause a change of power. And even if it was - who should continue ruling Russia? There are no direct candidates, but also I see no long-term perspectives. New democracies that formed after USSR collapse were built upon pre-war traditions. Russia has never seen any democracy.

I know that there are many Russians that disagree with their government. I know there are many in jail because of their opinions. But this is a minority. For the average Russian Putin is still the guy.
I completely agree. My roommate is amazing with math, he has taken every math class available at Drexel for undergrads, but he can not code. He took a intro to programming class and did not pass. I on the other hand am okay at math, including algebra, but I can code. It is easy for me to understand, but it is impossible for him to understand. I think it goes down to Algorithmic thinking but also logical as well. That's the difference I see between my roommate and I.
The last bit is so true it hurts. We have numerous shops and other places either in my apartment or right outside and I feel the need to dress up completely just to essentially go downstairs and get some snacks or diapers. I suppose a big reason it doesn't bother me much is that we get enough glances as it is, fully-dressed, so the last thing I want to do is invite more stares.
9.4 seems to be an outdated issue. Since version 1.2.16, $rootScope.$broadcast does not go to all child scopes, only those with a watcher. It's very fast, and perfectly fine to use if you need it.

If only I knew how to poke around in V8 some more, I'd be interested to see what V8 would do on a JavaScript equivalent. JavaScript is reasonably dynamic and its performance has skyrocketed in recent years mostly due to jumps in JIT approaches and optimization. Of course, V8 has some of the smartest people in the field working on it and the backing of Google.. :)
Why would that happen? By what mechanism?
Think client side native apps. Like a cross platform layer for a mobile/desktop app suite. With web dev, you have the advantage of being able to accept the JVM's relatively long spin up time and it's resulting speed over time. You have the flexibility to use things such as clojure or erlang. Client apps can't accept that kind of restriction very well.

I know of many client side libraries that are in C++ because it works everywhere(tm). Being able to maintain them in something like rust would be far nicer.
The fundamental flaw in your comment is the assumption that education is an investment that compounds in value. That's not the case for a large percentage of the young people who go to college today. Many will exit with weak earnings prospects and crippling debt that will compound.
> "it is stating that police shootings occur because of the mere fact that there are already more guns in the USA than any other first world country, thus police are more likely to encounter criminals with guns"

Police in America are less likely today to encounter guns than they were 40 years ago, but police shootings are apparently at all time highs. If their theory held water, that would not be the case.
China has improved governance fairly rapidly. Sadly, I think it's clear Russia have regressed badly.

A good example of the Chinese situation is AMSC: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-19/china-supreme-court...

Now, the situation shouldn't have arisen, but as the CEO has observed people thought merely trying to get the Chinese court system to go along with them was nuts. In Russia this would be game over already.
I haven't seen this (and I've been in the hospital a LOT lately because we have two young boys -- it's common to bring your kids to the doctor over every little thing here) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's catching on in some areas.
> College was originally for people who acted like grownups -- at 18 years old -- because those who went 100(+) years ago were expected to take it seriously

Not as much as you might think. You can find stories going all the way back to medieval times of university students getting drunk and tearing up the local town. It's just part of the deal -- a major requirement for study is leisure, and if you give young people large amounts of self-directed leisure time some of them are going to use it to behave immaturely.
>Conservatively, when implementing a JavaScript runtime in Java, anything known to be a number can be represented in Java as a double, and everything else can be represented as an Object.

sounds like beginning of a horror story.

>and that's where optimistic type system comes in. Our optimistic type system works by assuming that any statically unprovable type is an int, the narrowest possible of all types. If this turns out to be wrong at runtime, e.g. we load a field from memory/scope that turned out to be an Object or a double instead, or if we perform a 32-bit addition that overflows, we will replace the executing code with a more conservative version, that is regenerated on the fly.

i hope all that heroism and effort has a good reason for it beside just being a great/interesting engineering endeavor.
Articles like these remind me of the Feynman algorithm: write down the problem, think really hard, write down the solution. There is nothing to see here. There will never be another google. It will be another company and it will succeed for a different set of random reasons than google did. You can't recreate the process just like you can't recreate Feynman and his algorithm for solving problems.
I say without the www looks more appealing.

The www was included for a time when browsers were not the primary way people used the internet, and so you needed to specify www the way you specify, say, ftp. Nowadays everyone assumes something.com means port 80.

As long as you redirect www to @ you should be fine for SEO, right?
> A high correlation corresponds to predictive power...

That's a bold statement. And one that is unfortunately often times false. Spurious correlations pop up everywhere. They can be notoriously bad at predicting things, and care must be taken not to take rash actions based on correlations that may have no actual clout. I'd say denying someone a job based off of an algebra test is sufficiently rash.
There are evidences that Crimea annexation had been prepared for few years before any unrests. There are photos of paramilitary people with Donetsk "People Republic" flags at Russian summer camp Seliger in 2009. Relentless Russian propaganda has been translated all over Eastern Ukraine and Crimea for ten years.

Don't get me started on "Putin did not start what happened in Ukraine".
haha very solid counterpoint.
To be fair, the danger is during "Extreme Heat Emergencies". The effect they are referring to is when the external air is hotter than your internal body temperature (98.6), and so the external air heats up rather than cools down the body.

From the temperature records I can find, temperatures that high are a once in a lifetime event in South Korea. On the other hand, you would experience such temperatures regularly in Arizona, for example, but if you're living in Phoenix and are at risk for heat death, I'd hope you have AC.
Thanks Michell! I was worried Vagrant started heading in a different direction especially after reading the "This is a historic day for Vagrant" paragraph. Thanks for clearing it up.
You used the word "iTunes" twice in your first two sentences. You've also mentioned 2 audio formats and 1 video format, and that already exhausted your examples because that ecosystem supports nothing else.

One application, supporting two operating systems and three formats. Whooptidoo.

For something that is technically as easy as copying any format file to any device. Congrats. Great f-ing progress.

Not to mention the fact that most of what I would like to consume in media isn't legally available in my country in those or any other format. And anything but music is still DRM-crippled.

It's not just easier to get pirated content, it's still largely the only way.
Does maturity compound? I don't know. Education definitely does.
College loans compound if you can't pay them. The state university I attended has a 6-year graduation rate of 65%. The graduation rate is the same for students who took out loans. So, probably about a fifth of students end up in debt with no degree. I personally wish I had waited a year or two before starting college because I think I would have performed better.

What do you think the second amendment to the U.S. constitution is for?
While this is interesting, I'm not sure what point we should really be taking away from it. That government assistance is so good it's a motivator not to work? It's easy to play with numbers and make it look like you're "losing money" by working, but it's somewhat disingenuous. For instance, in practice that "$30K of incremental work" is statistically very likely to involve a job with a company that provides health care for their employees and dependents.

Furthermore, your description of the way food stamps work is correct but elides how that "phase out" works. Under current CalFresh guidelines[1], a household of 4 grossing $30K a year would get $98 a month. If they grossed $24K a year that would go up to $218 a month -- an extra $1440 a year, when you work it out, which is to say much less than what they'd net by just making another $6000 a year.

[1]: http://foodstampguide.org/calculating-the-grant-how-much-do-...

In practice, I'd suggest that most of these calculations are going to work out in roughly the same way: yes, you're "losing out" on government assistance by making more money, but the benefits you accrue from actually making more money more than offset that.
I say fear, both feelings make people do irrational things, but I think the fear of losing everything is far stronger than the desire to have more.
