Some counter-notes:

1. That's b*shit. It's Germany all way. The Fins and Dutch are easy to bend.

2. Germany has defaulted 3 times in the last 100 years. The Marshall plan was issued in 1948, otherwise now Germany would be worse than you date to imagine + wars damages to Greece were never paid.

3. Why don't you come live in Greece and find out. Try to deal with the state, then run a business WITHOUT tax-evading in this environment. Then share your knowledge, show us how you did it.
Note that automatic resizing and reference counting won't hurt you in these cases. Bounds checking can, but eliminating bounds checks by proving that your accesses are always in-bounds at compile time is old hat by this point. Copy-on-write semantics are trickier to make fast, which is why I'm guessing they're the root cause here.
I've seen this too. I've literally had (otherwise very smart!) people email me their PPK files (Putty Private Keys)! (Userify does help a lot with this now, however.)
Agreed with the other two respondents at this time. While I loved the Selectric keyboard, the Model M, while certainly a lot better than many others of that era, wasn't great.

That's pretty much why I made this! I've been wanting to build live-editable objects in VR, but I was severely dissatisfied with the options available.
The uncertainty principle doesn't imply that any information is being destroyed, it implies that there is a limit to the amount of information you have. Position and momentum are things that you derive from the available information. You just can't use the same limited pool of information to derive the both in a way that would use more information than you have.

>I don't see how you can find an earlier state from knowing the current state since you can't know position and momentum, right?

State has little to do with position and momentum directly, but the underlying information. We use those concepts to indirectly refer to state, but state is more fundamental. Information arises from a correlation between states, and position and momentum are different measures of this correlation.

A better experiment is a double blind trial. Fill one hydrogen tank with standard hydrogen and another tank with deuterium. Code both of them with a scramble. The e-cat should fail with deuterium and should work with hydrogen.

This does not require any access to internals, and could even be done on the sly without alerting rossi.
It's probably just a 'dumbing down for journalism' title.
I mean that is the trick right? You have a doctor making 100k claiming he makes 10k and paying no tax. I have seen individual stories of it, but is that really the common case? Or is it more like rich business owner making 300k claims he made 200k because of the cash heavy economy in Greece?
I'd argue a solvent bank is one whose expected return on assets, adjusted for expected losses, is sufficient to ensure it can repay money lent to it at the discount window rate [for all plausible trajectories of the base interest rate over the lifetime of its outstanding assets]

There's no logical reason why a central bank wouldn't lend to such a bank at the discount window even if some irrational hysteria caused its depositors to withdraw en masse, or why another bank not suffering from depositor hysteria wouldn't buy its loan portfolio.

The problem of national governments' economic policy lacking credibility is largely orthogonal[1]; central banks that underwrite private banks print money rather than borrowing it

[1]except to the extent really inept inflation-boosting fiscal policies compel the central bank to make aggressive and unanticipated interest rate rises that drive banks into insolvency.
So true. This is one of the main reasons I am happy to be out of that sector. The #StartUpLife, despite the stress, is much more fun.
Yes. My answer was assuming that Greece never took up Euro in the first place. In that case, it would probably issue debt in Drachmas (although not all countries do - e.g. Argentina issued it's debt in USD under NY jurisdiction, because having defaulted so many times, it couldn't sell bonds in Pesos under its own jurisdiction).
It helps a lot if you have a friend who's really passionate about the sport; you can leech off of their passion until you develop some of your own.

When I started dating the woman who would later be my wife, I would occasionally watch hockey games with her; she is from Detroit and grew up an ardent, passionate fan of the Red Wings. After a few games of her explaining the rules and strategy, telling me about the fantastic teamwork between Datsyuk and Zetterburg, and relating the history of the team with regards to their regional rivals, I got in to it on my own time. We aren't able to watch many Wings games now that we live in California, but we've got tickets to watch them play the Sharks in a couple weeks.

The parent post is pretty spot on; you can really choose how much effort you want to put in to being a sports fan. You don't need to know who's having a good season or which players are the best if you don't want to; even just casually browsing the sports page a couple times a week to see the standings and the outcome of the latest game is enough to be able to hold a conversation about it with somebody else.
On your point, KOTOR II comes to mind. Taking Lucas' Black/White morality of The Force and turning it more Grey.

It's just a burden of the games of today. And that it was a lot easier to write out text in older Bioware games for possible branches and outcomes. As that was the main way to tell the story and what players expected.

Versus recording dialogue, creating cutscenes, etc that modern games tell their stories though.

edit: the constraints of modern asset creation being fairly clear with the ending of the last Mass Effect game. A series that was toted for its story and depth. Where your choices 'mattered' but were reduced to the same end cutscene with different hues.

I've quickly read through your RFC, and since I've recently added support for Content-Range to LibreS3[0] that is the first thing I looked for, and sure enough you support it.

Although it is not clear to me why you need to use webfinger to announce Content-Range support.
There is Accept-Ranges header, or you can detect that you get a 200 instead of a 206 reply on a Range request for GET.

For PUT RFC7233 says "A server MUST ignore a Range header field received with a request method other than GET." so I'm not sure how that would work there, can you give an example?

"fizzbuzz" is coding exercise, used by companies looking to screen out applicants who claim to be able to code, but in fact cannot. The applicant is asked to write a short program that prints the numbers 1-100 (or whatever). When the number is divisible by 3, instead of printing it, print the word "fizz". When divisibly by 5, print "buzz". When divisible by both, print "fizzbuzz."

To anyone who actually can code, it seems ridiculous that people are applying to coding positions who can't come up with a solution to this, but anecdotally many hiring managers routinely encounter such applicants. I suspect the parent here is using the term "set up a fizzbuzz" as shorthand for "set up some time to see if you can actually cross the bare minimum coding hurdle."
Discrete is probably not the best way of looking at it; instead, think of it as the smallest scale across which space can change. From this perspective, it's not possible to discern between a quantized and continuous spacetime.
Reviews for Heroku add-ons
Security is a part of it, but the fee also gets you 2 incident tickets with Apple engineers (way more that a forum chat - they'll look at code and debug) and a reasonably decent distribution infrastructure (their Mac App Store).

I say none of that to justify the overall notion of a paid developer program, but it's wrong to characterise it as just security signing.

Although, now that I think about it, I do pay yearly for certificates for my website - although not $99 :)
This is great! Wonder if using this in a classroom setting would help demonstrate concepts better (since it's easier to play with and adjust)

Here's the one true test for any new generator: If there's a working prototype, they could be selling power to the grid.

There is no need for publicity, investments, or shows. It doesn't matter if someone can replicate your device. If it works, sell the power and build more of them.

If it doesn't work, I guess just keep on trying to get money from other people.

Which offers lower prices and usually better selection, e.g. more than the Cherry Brown and Clear switches that the "Code" keyboards appear to come in.

Which manufacturer they offer at any given time varies, I've gotten both Filco and Leopold from them, and now they're offering another company's, which for all I know isn't as good.
As a physics PhD I feel like an idiot for accepting the theory of the classical black hole.

If you write the equations for the space around a black hole in the straightforward way you see a singularity at the event horizon. You can make a coordinate change that makes this singularity go away, but then you get the classical black hole singularity where there is either an "end of time" or an infinitely dense point or ring.

Physicists believed that this coordinate transformation was valid but it is not because it infinitely stretches space/time which at some point will blow up the Planck scale to be visible, at which point something completely indescribable happens -- it might be something like DSR or it might be different, but you void any warranty on the space time continuation, so the classical black hole is science fiction.

The obvious semiclasicalization is for the infinitely dense singularity to become a highly dense object which has some dimensions on the length of the Planck scale, but no model of quantum black hole using actual quantum gravity looks like that at all.

We don't have a "complete" theory of quantum gravity but we do have a number of competing partial theories, and we can already make some strong conclusions, such as holography, that are generic to many or any QG models. Underlying this are principles such as unitarity (unitarity is pretty much the one thing you need to make QM work) that means no information is lost when stuff falls in a black hole and that can't be reconciled with the mass being concentrated all in one place.
A Model M was my primary keyboard for years. Now, the ~65g activation force is a bit too heavy for my liking, and I'm using Cherry Brown/Blues.
Why I'm coding with Mithril...

I have experience creating a very complex React app to organize a conference. It included registration, authentication, personalized schedules and calendars, news articles, up-to-the-minute updates, a store, physical pass(ID) verification, and a few dashboards for use by clients of my client. Honestly, it was a lovely experience. Once in the React rhythm, the coding became an exercise in pattern application. This was before Flux came along.

Presently, 58% of users of my current client's site arrive via mobile and minified React tops 145kb, which takes a lot of time to deliver and unpack. I serve 1000 new users per week who can't rely on finding React in their browser cache. This is too much overhead. I am a little obsessed with under-one-second loading and 3 second attention spans. Non-minified React is 642kb and that's too much code for me to grok if I want to understand what my application is doing. I did some work converting Bootstrap to React and ramping up took too much of my time.

Then I found Mithril. It's faster than anything. It's tiny. It does only what it needs to do, no bloat. And it does most of the good stuff that React does. It's also FRP friendly, another current obsession of mine.

It's in the early stages, but it is so small and focused that it can be used anywhere. TODAY. Consider it code you would have written on your own if you'd had the time (and were a VERY talented js coder). mithril.js is small enough to understand in detail. It's so well designed that even an intermediate dev like me can grasp it. Beyond the basic documentation is a blog and API docs written as precisely and as focused as the code. The API is so small you can master it in an hour or two. It's a testament to its quality that the earliest blog entries are applicable today. I recommend reading them from oldest to newest. They read more like a tutorial than a blog. Post a question to the Google Group and Leo will likely refer you back to a blog post because he's already covered your question.

Another sign that Mithril is of great quality: most public discussion about Mithril revolves around the philosophy and logic of app design, not code errors. When errors are discovered, Leo patches them within hours if not minutes.

Leo got so much right. Most things right. More than any other framework I know.

Or, is insert performance unrelated to subscriptions? Also, does the change feed only show the before/after or does it also show the query that was used to transform the data?

What role does the Greek central bank play? None. Just distributes the money it gets from the ECB to local banks. Like a post-office for money.
Content marketing is certainly rooted in SEO though, with the often-existing explicit intention of having a relevant piece of content rank well for informational queries. Or at least having this content designed to attract links, which are still a major part of the ranking equation.

The lines are definitely blurring, so the main thing I'm arguing is that SEO should be in every marketer's tool belt, it's not some black hat wizardry anymore.
Indeed. There are many better examples of post-war soft power projection through economic meddling that this case could be compared to.

Not the nazis. They are far on the other side of the economic meddling coin.
Fire some of the public servants. In fact, change the constitution to make that possible without passing laws for each and every case. That's the absolute minimum required for it be called "brutal", "deadly", and "austerity".

What is the cost of the Greek railways per passenger kilometer again compared to paying for similar cab rides?

What does the Greek constitution say about firing public servants? How early can they retire, still, after the "austerity"?

Some businesses use Microsoft Office for business processes that go far beyond Mail-Merge, but are essentially unknown to people who don't work for large corporations. Have a look at the half-dozen Microsoft Office programs you've never used, and that many people have not even heard of.

This is one reason why it took Munich a whole decade to switch most (but not all) users from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice, and they probably lost a ton of money on the switch (ie if you honestly counted lost productivity, which I'd bet is still being lost).

I'd also guess that a German city's use of Microsoft Office is probably pretty trivial compared to an American Fortune 50 corporation.

If someone wants to do a PhD on this, I'd love to read it ;-)
Just from the description, this nails something I've been wanting to see for awhile. Having text editor "primitives" (panes, windows, tabs) be actual geometric primitives is a fantastic start to next-gen editors. More power to you!

Uncanny that I had the exact same timeframe for getting a replacement; in my undergrad I was doing an ethnography on QS culture and spent about 2 weeks waiting for my UP band to get replaced when it broke, only to have the replacement break a few weeks later. I ended up buying a second band and at one point used each in rotations while the other was in the process of getting replaced. After my fieldwork I stopped bothering to replace them despite them still having some time left on their warranties.
It's perfectly correct in this case.

And calling something "austerity" when the public sector is so big that it clearly is anything but is /certainly/ not helpful.

Europe doesn't have neoliberals? How else do you explain post 1990 economic policy?

TheOtherHobbes isn't discussing rules or laws, but merely the current and recent economic structure. Germany net exports. Therefore, without floating currencies, only one thing may occur: someone must borrow money. You write about this -- "a country with a long history of ignoring debt" -- as if it were a moral claim, rather than an accounting identity.

Where Greece not in a currency union, they could have gradually restructured, as drachmas depreciated against foreign currency, or they were forced to borrow in a foreign currency. Their problem is that the EU is set up, by design, to actively fuck less productive southern states. States, whether states in a union or independent states, either need their own currency in order to accommodate differing productivity levels, or high productivity net exporters must accept permanent subsidization (as northern / coastal states do for the American south) of less productive states.

The simple fact of the matter is that the ECB has long acted in a way that favors Germany while the German government has carefully avoided explaining to Germany the consequences of running an export economy inside a currency union. Now that they have had 20+ years of economic success as the outcome of the union, they wish to duck the consequences.

1) Sign up for unemployment. It takes a little while to start getting checks, but it will help extend your savings.

2) Relax a bit and get your head together.

3) Go on a trip (you'll be starting from scratch at a new company, so use the time for a bit of a vacation)

4) Polish your resume & LinkedIn profile

5) Broaden your horizons geographically and interview at lots of different locations around the country and choose something you love.
