It has absolutely nothing to do with use of transformers. Sockets in US and in UK are fused at approximately 13Amps for safety reasons. And 110V at 13amps is 1430W, while 230V at 13 amps is 2990W. You can make a kettle which uses only 1430W of power, but it would take much longer to boil water than a 3kW kettle would. You could raise the voltage to any number you like,but if the socket is fused at 13A you are not going to draw any more power out.

Sorry to disappoint you but obesity is caused primary by overeating.

I lost 2 kg since starting baking pies myself. And I am using pate sablee, lots of heavy cream for the custards, dozens of yolks and so on. You just need to eat smaller sizes of the finished product. My roommate put on couple of pounds though.

It was a short well-defined question with given input and a specific output. Elisp isn't the most widely used language so coming up to speed could be time consuming. Someone else even starred it so they must have found it to be useful.

I went to an 'Azure Mobile DevCamp' event for iOS a couple of days ago. It was sponsored by Microsoft but run by someone otherwise unaffiliated who ran a mobile development shop coding in each platform's native language.

The session was interactive/follow along, the instructor led in swift and I decided to try following along using C#/Xamarin iOS (disclosure: I use Xamarin.iOS daily and am a big fan of C#). On iOS I had worked for a couple of years in obj-c before moving to Xamarin, but hadn't touched swift. Having read comparison articles similar to this, my otherwise uninformed opinion was that swift looked to provided a far more reasonable experience, similar to C# - to the point that I wondered whether it was worth paying the fee for Xamarin to avoid the archaic objective c language. However, there were a few things from the demo that changed my mind (some are apple ecosystem, some are swift):

- no first class support for package management, and adding references to to libraries by hand can still be error prone and frustrating. We spent 10 minutes getting the room set up with their cocoapods - lucky me I had NuGet and in a few clicks had the packages installed.
- no `await`-style capability - it seems small but nested callbacks is not something I want to have to deal with anymore, and it makes certain patterns unwieldy.
- no LINQ query provider style support - making a call to the azure mobile service with a filter and sort clauses required newing up awkward predicate and sort objects and attaching them to a query before running (which then, again, required a callback!). In C# you could use the same syntax you would use if the collection were local - `await table.Where(i=> i.Name.Contains("Bob")).OrderBy(i=> i.LastName).ToListAsync()` - and the clauses would be transparently translated into parameters for the service call.
- Lots of "crashes" in the IDE while writing swift code, where the compiler would bomb out and syntax highlighting etc. would be disabled while it sorted itself out again.

Swift still seems to be a huge improvement over obj-c, and some of these will be improved as time goes by, but fundamental features like await make a big difference, especially working on mobile where you are often waiting on network calls, user activity etc. And that's all before you even touch the topic of code sharing.
It does cause confusion. I use multiple wikis that are not Wikipedia on a daily basis. When someone just says "wiki", my first thought is that the sentence is not grammatically correct; it is like saying "encyclopedia says" or "book says", it's not grammatical without an article or other qualifier of which one you are talking about. My next thought is that they are referring to the original wiki, http://c2.com/cgi/wiki.

I have seen this usage become increasingly common, but I try to discourage it when I see it, because it does cause confusion, and if it catches on, could cause even more when trying to discuss other wikis as people may assume that you are talking about other Wikipedia affiliated sites, not other instances of the general category of wikis.
Then, basically, you have the wrong contact.

Don't misunderstand me here -- contacts to a employee are not bad per se, but in my experience, those contacts usually care about their problems, but do not have the budget to have the work done properly.

OTOH, if you have a contact that is higher up in the chain, those tend to have a broader view and you can discuss prices not in terms of effort on your side but in terms of business value for them.
I'm very comfortable with git after years of using it, but if I'm being totally honest there probably hasn't been a single project I've used it on where svn (warts and all) wouldn't have been a simpler, more effective system for what the project actually needed from a source control system.

I'm really interested in your use of the words 'modern' and 'old' in the above post.

The human perceptual system does not change much from millennium to millennium and that our understanding of how that system works becomes richer over decades.

Can you explain how one set of afordances can be considered more modern than another?

I'm not being snarky, I'd really like to understand your idea of modern/old in this context.
Questions are also deleted years later when the moderators arbitrarily decide to. They refused to delete my questions when I deleted my account, which made sense because they didn't want to lose all that information. I had over 100 questions, maybe 150 questions, after all.

Tonight, however, someone deleted my question because I discussed it on HN.
There is an official account for those threads: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring
As far as I know, there are some enzymes, synthesis of which could be triggered by presence of lactic sugars, so a cell could convert them into ATPs, and those enzymes are encoded in the DNA.

My bet is that they are "switched off" after the period of breastfeeding is passed, but could be "re-activated", and this ability to reactivate them is the survival factor.

Most people I know who are vegan are so for ethical reasons.

Fun paper.

If I may highlight, though, your sample is completely flawed:

1. The close vote queue's backlog is such that most bad questions remain open and therefor don't ever get a chance to be deleted in the first place unless (as you've noted) a moderator randomly runs into them months later.

2. A problem experienced by SO is one-off accounts: users that get question banned end up coming back for more with a new account, and leave the abandonned ones unmaintained. Where a normal user may end up deleting their downvoted questions, an abandonned account's user will not.

Put another way, your sample would be a heck of a lot larger if everything that should likely get deleted would be.
> We spent 10 minutes getting the room set up with their cocoapods

Cocoapods with Swift support is still in beta. You'll probably have a better experience once it's been officially released.

> Lots of "crashes" in the IDE while writing swift code, where the compiler would bomb out and syntax highlighting etc. would be disabled while it sorted itself out again.

Likewise for this; Xcode is a much better IDE for Objective-C than it is for Swift at the moment, but it is improving (a new beta of Swift 1.2 + Xcode has just been released that fixes a lot of problems).

I am not speaking against it, just how I can see it happening.

On my case, enterprise customers actually went with Cordova for mobile multi-platform. On the few projects I took part on.

For my hobby projects so far I went with C++, as they tend to be small multimedia stuff and I don't feel like paying Xamarin for hobby projects I do with months interval and sometimes are left unfinished when life takes over.

So Native UI + C++ (now C++14) suits me better, although the NDK is a big pain to use and quite limited, but at least Windows Phone and iOS are nicer to use.

If I had to do it professionally on my own company, maybe Xamarin would be an option, specially since Qt seems to be way behind Xamarin in terms of device support.
Ah yeah. Braino.

I meant --no-nl or similar.
Very interesting. I grew up in Hong Kong and most of my friends are still earning < 100k. Most tech firms don't even have a development team in Hong Kong. For example, Google and Facebook only have a sales team there. Apple and Yahoo are the exceptions but even then the development team is small.

I wonder what company you are working for. As far as I know the demand for tech workers is pretty low over there.
I don't understand the "Beyond the Brand" section. They imply that Millennials find brand less important than others, and in the "The Power of Social" section in the same area of the presentation, they social is growing as the importance of brands shrinks.

Yet looking at the chart in "Beyond the Brand", which shows for each age group when asked about the statement "When I shop, I always try to buy branded products", Millennials had the most people who answered "strongly agree", the most who answered that plus "tend to agree", the least who "strongly disagree", and the least who answer that or "tend to disagree".

The differences between the groups aren't very much, so I question whether there is any actual difference in brand importance among the age groups, but if there is I don't see how they can conclude that it is least among the Millennials.

Why? Moral vegetarians is a quite different topic, and there is an answer for this too. Current rates of population growth are unsustainable without animal food sources. So, the price would be lives of children and weak adults of poorest communities.

You're right about those limitations. We're aware of them and intend to fix them.
I simply use Debian in unstable all the time and update every couple of weeks. I hate staying stuck for a year or more with old versions and unstable was very rarely unstable for me. There was once or twice in the 10 years or so that I've used Debian unstable that the upgrade broke.

The most annoying times of the year are when Debian is in a freeze preparing for release. I can't get the latest version of everything and I am just so lazy I can't be bothered to build an upstream package from scratch.

And while I don't find much use for Debian releases myself I know they are useful and important to others.
Not everyone who uses XFCE prefers "old GUI-design," some people (myself included) are forced to run it on weaker machines, or on alternative CPU architectures ill-suited for more popular WMs. For instance, I run XFCE/Xubuntu on my Samsung ARM Chromebook because it's the only WM that runs clean for me in Crouton.

Agree with most of the points in terms of most developers aren't using the D enough to make DVCS worth it. However, have to disagree about open source development before and after GitHub.

Ironically, it's the centralized user accounts on GitHub that made it really outstanding for open source. Now I don't have 100 different systems each with their own logins and conventions, I just have GitHub and all the myriad projects thereon.

Pull requests are better than patches because they are more explorable (quickly view diffs right from the browser), discussable (make comments on specific lines of code, mention other users), and programmable (webhooks to run tests against pull requests instead of manually pulling and running tests). Those are pretty big advantages.

You could, in principle, perform formatted output without throwing the entire type system out the window. How? Rather than pass the arguments themselves, pass them wrapped up in structures that indicate their type, e.g., struct type_wrapper {int type; void *ptr; int i; char c;}; Of course, you'd have to write your own custom version of printf, possibly deal with the mess which is va_copy, but it's doable.

Law enforcement should be left to law enforcement. Either you call the cops or you let them go, extra-judicial settlement is problematic for quite a few reasons, the most important of which is that you're determining guilt and setting an arbitrary price all in one go using the 'or cops' as a way to threaten a suspect.

2: And this: http://imgur.com/JfNBd2o

Also Angularjs + SVG.

My first solution is a Gantt style graph where I input tasks I need to do and estimate how long they take. Then I click start on a task, and track the time I spend on it. My job needs me to track in high detail what I work on, so I made this system after getting bored of pen and paper.

The second solution I made was a real Gantt diagram, I used the same knowledge I had from the pervious solution, angularjs and svg, but this time I implemented dependencies between the activities. For the first solution I implemented a very simple scheduler based on the fact that I can't possibly be working on two things at the same time (unless I work during a meeting), but for this second solution I didn't make a scheduler so instead I just specify a start and duration for a task.
Well, depends what you define as tech. I might get some flak for this but in my experience, the AVERAGE quality of developers in Europe and especially in the US is much higher than in Asia. For example, a majority of the data science candidates I interviewed in Singapore, outside the Haskell community would fit all of the data I provided them with and call that their model (the concept of validation never entering their mind). Similarly, most didn't know what the relational model was and just wanted to use NoSQL methods without justification (mostly because it's hot and would look good on their CV). The exceptions usually already worked in the US, and wanted to come home to their family, so I'm guessing there's a fair bit of brain drain going on. Some specialties which are "harder" to acquire, like dev ops, also help fetch higher levels - I can think of one of our dev ops candidate who was getting 280k USD in Hong Kong managing 100 servers.

I'd say those offers are mostly in the financial industry (obviously) or in big corp (think F500 companies, pharma, etc.) and involved a bit of leadership or specialised experience, not being yet another RoR developer. But keeping up with friends in the US, I find the rates are substantially higher if you can differentiate yourself. YMMV.

BTW, contrary to popular believe in certain C++ circles 'header-only' isn't a hallmark of good design. Header-only means implementation-only programming without separation of interface and implementation (the implementation is the interface) using the built-in macro language called templates. Not surprisingly, this style of C++ programming has been successful in academic rather than real-world programming.

I see lots of complaining over SO moderation in this thread and other places, but the actual examples shown always turn out to very sensible moderation. For example your question is clearly not appropriate for SO. You are not asking a specific question, you are just asking people to write code for you. That somebody was nice enough to actually write your code for you, does not mean it was a good question!

Now there might actually be an audience for a "write my code" website, where users could post programming tasks or homework exercises, and other developers then might try to solve them for the fun and challenge of it. But SO clearly does not want to be that kind of website.

> (b) Induce that person to avoid legal process summoning him or her to testify; or

> (d) Induce that person to refrain from reporting information relevant to a criminal investigation or the abuse or neglect of a minor child.

You would need to have an increasing level of soy consumption in Japan for that to make sense as a suggested causal relationship.

But weren't they already determining guilt by deciding who to call the cops on? This is not the typical extra-judicial settlement since the money doesn't go to the retailer, so it doesn't seem to suffer from the same distorted incentives - there's no gain in accusing more people than before.
