It brings a lot more money to the problem. Doesn't that usually increase innovation in tech? Yes, Google will gobble up some of the startup innovators but doesn't that encourage more startups?
If you want to say that 2 people resolving an issue is a meeting, sure, go ahead and call it that. But I would suggest that the meeting needed to happen anyway.

Scrum doesn't imply that unneeded meetings need to be created for no purpose.

It is perfectly okay to also say during the standup "I'll follow up with you over email later" or "Let's resolve this over Slack".
This might be a very naive suggestion (I know nothing about the subject) but couldn't you just take two copies, XOR them and blank out the difference to defeat such signatures?
I imagine you could run something like BlueStacks on an Azure cloud and allow people to remotely control it. Probably costly though.

This sort of construct is well-established in English. When the headline reads "America Walks on Moon", the metonymic expansion is understood to be "[at least one person from] America Walks on Moon".

In this case, I need no additional context to interpret the headline as the hotel being built somewhere within the geographical region called Japan.

Agile development is another tick in the long series of desperate attempts by management to avoid The One Thing That Actually Usually Works™: Hire great developers, pay them a ton of money and give them a lot of freedom and time.
... and then out of those specific tools emerges a meta-cognition of language as an abstract, now retargetable even to the point of easily generating new languages where needed, and also of becoming really fast picking up previously unexplored languages for new problems.
There's a paradox here, the problem and the solution, is literally wholesale asset destruction. We'd have to abandon a lot of infrastructure. A good portion would even need to be recycled, not for reclamation, but to prevent ecological disaster ensuing from its just rotting in place.

And that's sorta why we get entertained with cataclysmic scifi themes, because it gives a "no choice" instigator for that asset destruction. But doing this by choice and quickly? Difficult.

No. That's why the looping part of the bot isn't published.
I will say that steganography is definitely in use already, at least on feature films. (It's particularly easy in animation, where literally anything can be changed seamlessly). A film pirated from a theater (even by a camera pointing at a screen) can easily be traced to the exact theater and showing of the movie, and IR cameras in the theater permit authorities to identify the exact individual with the camera.

In short, don't try to film a movie in a theater; they will find you.

Your analogy to estimating 23 across is pretty amusing. I like it a bit more than the claim that software estimates are like asking how long it will take to detect dark matter (another one I've heard), because honestly, I really shouldn't try to equate my work with something on that scale. That said, I actually think your analogy is, if anything, a bit too optimistic about estimates. In some ways, I'd stretch it to "you're good at puzzles. how long will it take to solve next week's puzzle". You know that puzzles are usually crosswords, sudokus, word scrambles, or chess problems, and you can usually get them, even the hard ones. There's variance, and sometimes you do get stumped, so it's a bit stressful, but at least you have some kind of prior history as a guide. But surprisingly often, it turns out to be something like encountering a rubik's cube for the first time. How long does it take to solve a rubik's cube? Well, once you know how to solve one, it takes less than 5 minutes. How long does it take to figure out how to solve one when you've never encountered it? Well, for some, never. For others, a month? For a few people, a day?

But the answer is, it will take me anywhere from 30 minutes to a month to tell you how long it will take me to solve this problem (over 1 month, I give up). Then, my answer will be: 5 minutes.
Couldn't you make your own root authority, install it locally, and sign a wildcard cert to cover your dev websites?

Looking forward to hitting my bandwidth cap in under 5 minutes.
I tried ketosoy for a week, and will likely continue... but I only replaced about half my intake each day with it. I have trouble getting 20oz of it down at once, so tend to break into 4-16oz portions... doing roughly half a pack a day combined with a real lunch or dinner and one snack (nuts, apple, etc) through the day. It actually worked out pretty well.

While I try to eat relatively nutritionally balanced, I'm not perfect. I have a broken metabolism, and chronically bad knees. This makes exercise difficult to say the least, and whatever I eat will have an effect. What it did allow me to do was consistently stay under 2000-2400 calories a day, and actually drop a little bit of weight.

I'm planning on getting a gastric sleeve later in the year, which will make something like soylent ideal for me.

That said, I love to cook and usually do at least one longer prep meal a week (friday, saturday and/or sunday)... This past saturday I made mushroom broth, followed by an asian-style soba (buckwheat) noodle soup using some of said broth with thinly sliced sirloin and veggies.

So, I can really see both sides of this. On the one hand, I love food. I try 2-3 new to me restaurants a month, and like to take lunch away from my desk. On the other, sometimes just drinking something down is far easier than taking the time to prepare a meal. I've been making several gallons of stock/broth every other week for soup for most of the past year. It takes quite a bit of time and even only doing it a day or two a week, not doing it for half my meals appeals to me. And will often cost less.
Blue Apron, to me it has the most variety and more interesting ingredients than the other ones I've looked at so far.
You've got a fairly large heat sink right under every house. The trick is to "wire" into it during the build. Stick a geothermal heat transfer unit and run water pipes under the ground where the earth maintains a constant year round temperature. Use this to control the climate along with decent insulation and you'll dramatically reduce your climate control costs.

Ideally, if you can build your entire house below the frost line, you're laughing - but this isn't always feasible.
I'm confused by the blurring of sha-2 on the CSR with the hash function used for the cert. The hash used in the CSR signature has nothing to do with the hash used to sign the certificate. I don't know of any CA that requires a sha-2 CSR to emit a sha-2 cert; does CertSimple?

I agree it would be cryptographically correct, and I bet there's a nasty vulnerability in there that'll be exposed the day SHA-1 is broken---but that day isn't today.
All of those are hideously ugly. What's your point?
It doesn't satisfy the needs of the larger community. Yes, if you watch in person with a group of a few friends and that's all you care about, this works fine. It can't realistically be implemented on the scale of something like a subreddit or a whole office.

There is a massive difference in both quality and activity between /r/HouseOfCards and /r/GameOfThrones. The "season dump" just doesn't work on a scale that exceeds one living room.
Really should go back and offer to be a contract/consultant at ridiculous rates (which you can justify by showing how few hours you work).

If the departure was amicable on the employers side you still might be able to do this.
When you throw an exception on the CLR, it will 1) walk the stack looking for candidate catch blocks, and 2) if it finds one, it will long jump to that catch block, destroying all stack frames between the frame that threw the exception and the frame for the function that contains the catch block.

Exception filters are a CLR feature that modify this process a little. Now, when an exception is thrown, it still walks the stack looking for candidate catch blocks, but whenever it identifies a candidate, it will call the exception filter function (a function from exn -> bool, where exn is the exception being caught by the Catch block). If the function returns false, the CLR will disregard this candidate catch block and continue searching. C# 6.0 merely added some syntax that exposed this functionality of the CLR, the language itself isn't doing this.
This is so far from the truth that it's not even funny.

There are tonnes of surface metal deposits, it's just you'd get shot for opening a mine there because it's in the middle of the national park.

Also, what do you call a 'garbage dump' other than a surface deposit rich in metals?

All of the metals we've ever mined are on the surface. We didn't put them back down into the mine... (or at least when we did it's the open pit variety)
True Zero-Downtime HAProxy Reloads
People won't do this for GoT in particular as the opening changes episode to episode and gives you a preview into the locations that that episode will deal with. A lot of people enjoy the openings and pay attention to them.

I liken it to the Simpsons or Futurama in the sense that things subtly change (e.g. locations which are destroyed in the show, are destroyed in the opening, and such).
Constraint solvers and similar tools can look pretty magical to people who use them for the first time, so I don't blame the OP.

What's more interesting is that we're seeing heightened interest in these techniques again after they were ostensibly sidetracked in favor of statistical methods.
That depends how long would it take for another civilization to arise from the ashes of the current one. Metals don't just vanish but most of them are chemically active and will in time rust, disintegrate, get absorbed by organics and pretty much vanish.

There was a famous viral online game (OK web page) where visitors had to do this to keep a cute astronaut in a hibernation unit alive. You could hear her heart beat and breathing. She eventually became a skeleton. Felt more personable and engaging than just a button with no character, though.
You can read the entire book, minus a couple pages redacted here and there, with Amazon's "Look Inside" feature. I don't know if this is intentional -- you usually only get the first 10 pages or so -- but I've just done it successfully on two different computers with different IP addresses, one logged into an account and one not, so you should be able to.

Having scanned the book for about 15 minutes over my morning coffee I think he has an insightful thesis: things we had to work really hard for and/or make major life sacrifices for a half-century ago are now free and abundant; simultaneously, society has gotten a lot less structured and communities (both in the literal-geographical sense and the activity-based sense) are generally weaker. As such, we've become prisoners of the infinite options available to us, and our lives become diluted as a result; e.g., we'd rather get our sexual gratification by opening up an anonymous browser window and visiting Redtube than put in the work to ask someone out on a date and build an actual physical relationship with another human being.

The author's thesis is that we need to train our self-control by doing things that require self-discipline and focus. What I find interesting about it is it really flies in the face of other pop-psych books (e.g., Tierney's Willpower) that suggest that we have a finite reservoir of self-control that we should expend wisely.
I think the best view to have is that you CAN change the world. Simply put, you can do it by doing your part. Every little bit counts. Maybe volunteer or help at a local hospital, or better yet tackle some problems that are arising in local healthcare or NGO centres and try pitching them ideas to make their work more efficient, better ETC... I think no matter what skill set one has, we can make a difference if we want to, and you don't have to drop your job, or start a new business to do so.

Just get involved, and go from there.

Did you read the post, specifically the benefits section? Or the Google page they linked: https://www.cloudflare.com/google

It sounds like they now have a peering agreement so Google can directly communicate with CloudFlare's network, resulting in 2x faster performance. It looks like that's the primary benefit (other than the regular benefits of CloudFlare).
Because the Dems have been so much "better" or at least more advanced than Republican for as long as anyone can remember the entire Democratic infrastructure is so much more built up than the Republican. Good and bad at the same time though. There are a lot of really good Democratic firms and freelancers but there are also a few really good Republican firms and a lot of not so good one.

For example the Democratic field has some really great players in it like Bully Pulpit Interactive, Blue State Digital, NGP VAN, Wide Eye Creative, Target Smart etc... The Republican field has less but still some good ones like i360, Targeted Victory, Push Digital, NationBuilder, etc.

tl;dr - D's have more and historically better firms. R's have less total firms but this cycle we could maybe see them on an equal (possibly better? probably not, but possible) level as D's.

You're right, they're not just different but relevant to the episode, they can foreshadow or highlight the importance of a particular region to the current episode, remind viewers of the geography, emphasise the different factions. Much more than a static credit - the music is also a fantastic mood setter in this case. The different places are shown with slightly different flourishes too, unless I'm mistaken, the style of the credits is really good.

I think you can tell I'm a fan!
Plus, we already know what we did to get to where we are now. We can adapt that knowledge to get back to where we are now. It's going forward we're going to be stumbling in the dark, but we're doing that now anyway.

They have tracked down leakers before. The issue is that even if you get a clear cut high profile case (like howard stern[1]) then what? It is pretty hard to prove intentionality or where exactly in the chain the data went astray. These things just get left around. If a screener disappears during a party, who even knows who took it (A guest, a caterer, or did it just end up under a couch)?

I've heard of minor reviewers and third party firms getting cut off after a leak is traced to them, but for the most part the back office people simply don't have the power to enforce against anyone of note. Also the evidence just isn't enough for an actual law suit against someone who can hire a lawyer.

They were referring to compile times to build boost itself, not of their own projects. On most Linux distros, there are binaries already available so that's not a problem; yes with brew on OSX it takes a long time but you don't do it that often.

Of course template-heavy, header-only libraries will increase compile time, but not insanely so. I try to be careful about including boost's ease-of-use headers which pull in everything and keep it limited to what I really need from a given sub-project.

Most of what I use from boost is in C++11, except asio, but the same principals apply.

One thing to keep in mind is that there are C++ devs who like Boost and there are C++ devs who hate Boost with passion. There are also said to be devs who are merely OK with this abomination but they are more of an urban legend really.

In other words, consider the fact that by throwing Boost in the mix, you rob yourself a good half of the intended audience, if not more.
I don't mean they should charge $10 or $20 for early access. I think they should be charging a couple hundred dollars - think VIP bottle service prices.

> I think illegal filesharing threatens the industry primarily not because it's free, but because it offers a lot of features and convenience which the content providers refuse to grant their customers willingly.

It's a bit of a cycle isn't it? The reason they refuse to grant the convenience is because it enables illegal filesharing. Works the other way too.
Chrome already blocks self signed certs out of the box.
That's what bothers me. HTTPS Everywhere means MITM Everywhere. Terminating HTTPS connections at a CDN means the CDN is the man in the middle. You don't have to attack secure servers that handle important stuff any more; just get a backdoor into Cloudflare. This makes "authorized law enforcement access" easier than ever.

On top of that, HTTP2's "it all has to go through one hole" approach means that CDNs become almost mandatory for big sites. The Web is becoming a lot more centralized. It's more secure against random attackers, but much less secure from inside jobs at CDNs, authorized or not.

That can be a good option when you need both winter heating and summer cooling, but ground source heating tends to be surprisingly expensive. Not to mention many houses sit on bed rock.

My understanding is if you live near a stream or pond it's a great way to make heat pumps far more efficient, but otherwise just having a large rock slab in the middle of your house combined with solar heating is far cheaper for heating, but not that useful for cooling if your area does not cool off at night.
Why?

I'm not familiar with how those typically work, but intuitively from an architecture standpoint, that sounds like something that should sit as a filter between the browser and the outside world. Browser as monolith of functionality seems undesirable.
