I have some friends who struggled with infertility, went through the whole IVF thing (big medical bills, without success) but ultimately had repeat success with the help of modern NFP methods such as NaPro and Billings:

Yeah. Even having a proper shared nothing cluster requires the Enterprise Edition, at like $12k a core. Just to get a slick version of what you can do with DRBD for free.
Rep movsd is only recommended for large clears/copies by Intel. Indeed the commit message states:

Use a Duff's device to do the repetition instead.
So then people just switch the settings/models of radios being smuggled.
Exactly.

To be fair you could (and I have...) say the same thing about coffee script.

Just let the plugin authors write in whatever-the-heck they want and compile it to js, and distribute as js, like everyone else.

On the bright side, this shows that the github guys are thinking about things other than coffee script at last. Thank goodness.
It's a good time for the company to attach various nondisclosure, noncompete, non disparagement clause(s) and they mark the severance pay as consideration. These agreements typically only hold up if there is commensurate consideration attached to them. This of course varies by state and local laws if they hold up at all.
It's pretty common in C# to use Constants to represent strings. Cuts down on the repetition as you said and you get the Intellisense too. I'd be curios to know the reasoning for using the literals as well.
>but there was never any deliberation about it on the beavers part.

How do you know that?

>One can easily think of a situation where a beaver might actually do better to not build a dam - but a beaver will try to build one anyway. It's just what he does.

A beaver is not an NPC in a video game. It has actual intelligence. Maybe not much, but more than can be modeled in such a trivial way. And humans for our part are quite often found behaving irrationally and against our better interests.

>Do humans eat to keep from starving?

We eat because we're hungry, we farm to keep from starving. Why did we launch a man to visit the moon? Is the fact that the beavers haven't sent their own delegation to the moon evidence of their inferiority? Maybe they just prefer non-interventionist foreign policy.

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons. (23.1)

Thought #1: bookstores go under all the time, specialty bookstores even more so.

Thought #2: google maps has a 'see inside' feature, and that store looks like a little tiny place, I don't work in SF any more but if I did and made time out of my commute to go there, odds are I'd be disappointed.

I shopped at City Lights up on Kearny, and that always seemed to be doing a pretty good business, and after I quit that SF job I worked in Mountain View which has a pretty good used bookstore right downtown, and a decent new bookstore right next to it, both of which seem to be moving lots of product.

First when you take characters from Greek Mythology to make your games, of course they aren't going to be diverse characters. The Greeks made them all white like themselves, and assigned gender roles to the male and female deities based on their ancient society's roles.

If you want diversity, you have to create original characters, you cannot take characters from a section of mythology and make them diverse.

Marvel is facing this with Thor, they made Thor Odionson unworthy to use his hammer, so a mystery woman picks it up and becomes the new Thor. In Earth-X they made Thor a woman as well as had a Thor Girl with the same powers as Thor, etc and it didn't work. Taking an existing character and trying to change gender, race, etc with it is doomed to failure because the character is already established. Create new characters instead, that are more diverse.

If you are in charge of the character creation for your videos games, and they aren't diverse enough, that isn't the public's fault, that is your fault. Admit to making a mistake and failing and then make some new characters that are more diverse.
Pretty much all of the security considerations are factors for the provider and not the consumer. Consumers should use validated TLS and encrypted storage, but beyond that consumers have more to worry about keeping their own application secure.

Having used Amazon Lockers a lot, I don't really get it. If you don't want a package sitting on your doorstep all day, have it delivered to work. And Lockers has a maximum size limit that I hit every so often that negated that option. Having it show up at my desk is a lot more convenient.

Now if I could return packages through Lockers, then I'd be game.
What kind of "choice" exists between open and closed source?

Everything you can do with closed source software you can also do with open, and there are things you can't do with closed source.
Great resilience measure, in spite of their choice to use AWS.

Any infrastructure will involve downtime, be it your own hardware or some cloud provider. Probabilities will vary, but they're always there. Despite their hosting solution, Netflix is doing (or showing) extra effort in dealing with the reality of failures. I'm interested in that bit.

Sure it might be a good idea to diversify their cloud providers, although I'm not sure this might be involved here, since AWS seems to be doing fine at this time.
They were probably tired of people complaining about problems with this corner case of opening humongous files in an editor meant for editing source code. Atom properly should be optimized for kilobyte sized files, not megabyte.
Not much, I imagine. .net's been supporting languages like that for a long time through the Dynamic Language Runtime. Although, if more people use Iron(Python|Ruby|Scheme), the underlying runtimes, and quite possibly the DLR itself could see some code contribution loving.

So if these folks are so good at predicting to the point where we should trust their predictions, then why aren't they all retired from predicting the stock market and getting rich? Wouldn't that be the path of least resistance for someone who is good enough at this to be worth listening to?

I think it's plain for most folks to understand that living beyond your means continually eventually means that debt payments comprise a large portion of your budget. No clairvoyance needed there. This is what the US government is doing right now. It's not hard to see that eventually the debt will be crushing.

What's much harder to do is predict exactly at what point this will occur. I would fully agree that the exact date of the debt service exceeding other large fixed payments is highly speculative. But that it will happen, absent structural changes, I don't find terribly contentious.

> blanket condemnation and prohibition is sloppy and illogical

I said:

Nowhere in this discussion do I call for prohibition. Downvotes are given to the possibility that drugs can have a downside. Now who is sloppy and illogical?
Given all the studies showing that psychedelic users have better mental health than the general public, aren't you at all worried that the stigma around psychedelics causes more people to have the same sorts of issues as your friend?
It's true, OAuth 2.0 alone isn't intended to be used for authentication. Think of it this way: An OAuth access token is often described as being analogous to a valet key — anybody bearing the valet key can unlock whatever it is that the valet key unlocks, but this says nothing about the bearer of the valet key.

Google now uses an OAuth 2.0 extension called OpenID Connect. This introduces an entity that's analogous to a referral letter [1], the ID token. It's basically a little string of encoded (possibly encrypted, possibly signed) JSON containing 'claims' about the authentication state of the end user. The client application can then validate that token to confirm to its satisfaction that the authentication happened for some particular user — and that the ID token was created for it and not some other application.

I'm hoping ClojureCLR gets some more attention now too.
I wonder how people will feel about two men being genetic parents to one baby (with the help of a surrogate mother) once it becomes technologically possible. In that case, no disease is being avoided, but I don't think it falls under the realm of a "designer" baby either. My guess is that many of us will live to see it happen.
Because in Chinese there is a word "万" for ten thousands.
This is so true. Use of psychedelics (and psychoactives in general) is such a polarizing issue, partially due to the poor drug education that the majority of the public receives, but also due to the force with which drug proponents feel they have to present their arguments in order to be heard. Too often advocates of responsible drug use portray the substances' benefits in the same uncompromising, unbalanced way that the mainstream media goes about deriding their harms.

Psychedelics are not "good" or "bad". They simply modify one's brain chemistry in novel ways that have the potential to be useful. Whether the experiences one has under their influence are useful or not depends entirely on the individual, where they are in their life, and to a moderate degree, chance.

The same goes for gateway theory. Personal experience tells me that the concept of drug use leading to more drug use is valid with some people and not with others. Much like tripping, it is largely dependent on the individual and their life situation at the time. It is not at all black and white (is it ever?).

As usual, balance is key.

I'm sure that there are developers making much prettier Go code with GopherJS.

There's a default package that comes with GopherJS which is allows for interacting with the JS world and the DOM. It's pretty raw and can result in what you are seeing as ugly.

There are some great new packages being developed which give a more Go style. One is: http://godoc.org/honnef.co/go/js/dom

This demo uses only the default packages, which is one of the goals of the project.

To those wondering, this does not involve gene splicing or anything like that.

Instead, defective mitochondria are being replaced with mitochondria from a healthy donor. This technique is only valid for diseases involving defective mitochondria.

The mitochondrial DNA is responsible for very very little of the genetic material that defines who a person is, essentially limited to how effective the mitochondria are at their job. This is around 0.1% of the total genetic code.

Mitochondria are organelles in our cells that break down molecules to provide energy for the cell, in the form of ATP. They have their own genetic code completely distinct from the host cell's DNA.

The mitochondria are replaced in either the egg OR in the embryo. In both cases this is done by removing the nucleus (containing the cell's genetic material) from the cell that has defective mitochondria and transferring it to a donor cell with healthy mitochondria. The donor cell's nucleus is completely removed.

The mitochondrial DNA is passed down from the mother alone, whilst the DNA in the embryo is formed from both the mother and father. For this reason mitochondrial DNA has much less genetic diversity. Mitochondria 'reproduce' by binary fission which is similar to bacterial cell division and produces little variation in its genetic code, whilst egg and sperm go through meiosis allowing the genetic code to be mixed.

Opposition seems to be coming from two camps.

- Those who don't like the destruction of the donor embryo (when that method is used),

- Those who think this is the start of ever more invasive genetic modification of humans, or so called "designer babies"

Exactly! This is an exercise in design research. Well composed, well documented, and well presented.

The point of this isn't necessarily to solve pole design it is to explore designing for a specific problem generatively with some domain experts.

This kind of practice can be applied to any given domain or problem and is extremely effective at bringing a team together to build an unify product vision.

Does anybody know why the "embryo repair" method would be used if the "egg repair" method was also an option? Is the embryo-repair method meant to weed out donor eggs that were not viable (by first ensuring that they can at least be fertilized, by fertilizing them)?
One can hope that the updated legislation somehow addresses this. That said, it would be absolutely stunning if the previously existing law didn't simply go 'boink!' in the face of a heretofore novel circumstance. At very least, I could see the need for the courts to set a precedent if/when the first case came along.
To be honest, that's actually one of the big motivators for me using MIT-style licenses (or BSD or ISC or somesuch) for a lot of my own code. I'm so accustomed to 525600-page EULAs that I cringe as soon as I see a license that exceeds one screenful, and I figure there are plenty of others who do the same.

Plus there are the other benifits (especially when it comes to free software projects being able to reuse that code without worrying so much about license compatibility).

Emacs' performance can be pretty damn bad sometimes, but I don't use Atom enough to know their relative positions.
Wine has to duplicate all of the duct tape and bailing wire Microsoft has used to provide backwards compatibility for their customers' existing applications. Just as Wine is an important kludge serving as a compatibility layer [It's Not an Emulator], all those undocumented API's are the same sort of kludge as compatibility layer.

And of course Wine is an outlier. Not only in that it contains its own 20 years of legacy code but in the fact that it is black box reverse engineering. It can't use disassembly to suss out details. Wine's difficulties stem from its requirements as much as anything else. These days VM's are the way to go if the going is intended to get things done. A Windows box in the cloud is pennies per hour.

I can't really answer for Scrum, especially as taught by consulting companies. I think of Scrum as a set of too-basic but reasonably good ideas that quickly ended up mostly as a certification scam. I wrote more about that a number of places, including here: http://agilefocus.com/2011/02/21/agiles-second-chasm-and-how...

I think that's especially true for dramatic company-wide, top-down Agile adoptions, which I have never heard of working. I think people doing that cannot possibly understand Agile philosophy, which promotes local control and continuous improvement of top-down control and giant leaps.

My positive experience is mostly with smaller shops, but I've definitely seen many places where companies have grown up releasing early and often and have no problem working in what I'd consider good Agile style. Wealthfront, Etsy, and Spotify are all explicitly and openly like that. But I think there are plenty of other places that aren't explicitly Agile but ended up that way as a natural evolution.

For example, when I visited YouTube to study their process, there were a great number of developers, designers, and product managers all working in relatively independent small teams. They'd release at least weekly but sometimes more often. There was no overarching plan; each team had particular goals to pursue, and coordinated with other teams as needed. They never used Agile jargon and didn't think of themselves as Agile, but I think they were acting in ways that exactly matched the spirit.
