Another issue is what parts of the animal we eat or don't eat. At least here in the UK, many wouldn't touch liver, heart, kidneys etc with a barge pole, despite never having even tried them.

While offal has gained ground in restaurants in recent years, it's still absent from most homes.

Offal makes up a decent chunk[1] of cattle and pigs, and fresh, well cooked offal is a delicious thing. There should be more effort by the meat industry to persuade people to try it.

I don't use IE anymore (rarely on a Windows box outside of work).
I corrected myself for the other person to mean '[..] upgrade your docker containers'. I heavily use LXC containers (and had used openvz and vserver before that) and treat them as individual servers.

All your points about bad sysadmin practices are OS & container agnostic - they can happen on any platform, don't drag Docker into it. Sure there is a culture of 'docker run somebinaryimage [..]' but those people are the ones that do "curl | sudo bash" as well.

Your claim about non-reproducibility of Dockerfiles is bogus. The result of a Dockerfile build gives you precisely the reproducibility you desire. Every time you run a container from that image built from a Dockerfile, you'll get the same filesystem & environment.

Docker 1.6's "Content Addressable Image Identifiers" addresses your build in a year concern by allowing dockerfiles to refer to a digest to ensure you are building against exactly the image you expect (rather than the result of some build process that yum -y upgrades etc, which I think is what you were getting at).
Am I just a pleb? I don't typically see that amount of "noise" when viewing photo's. I have no doubt the tool is useful and improves photos, I just doubt that it improves them that much. It seems like a bit of marketing to ensure people are able to see the difference.
Learn, repeat, learn, repeat and keep things loop going, but do expand the loop with new software, protocols, etc and you'll end up being a good sysadmin.

The digital single market strategy “in no way” aims to limit the progress of U.S. tech firms in Europe, Mr. Ansip told The Wall Street Journal.

No worries there !

The European strategy is always to have more and complicated rules (VAT got far more complex by Jan 1st 2015, net-neutrality is discussed, data roaming is under attack, etc).

European politicians do not understand that all the big companies once started as very small companies.

By complicating things (again: VAT, data roaming, etc) the entry levels are raised.

By the time successful US companies (soon to be Chinese companies ?!) reach Europe they have enough muscle to adapt to the rules.

Small local companies hardly ever grow that big. And it will only get more difficult.

A personal experience I have made in trying to live off the land a few times autonomously is that it is quite sustainable when you are hunting animals.

When you rely solely on plants you need to roam HUGE swatches of land in comparison and extract almost all of the plants you find.

I think you should strive to understand what is happening under the abstraction, but abstraction is a useful tool. It's a bit like calling something a "crutch". Sounds bad, but what if you have a broken leg? Crutches allow you to get over the problem and make progress. I have to write software that runs on any hardware from any number of vendors and multiple operating systems. Not using abstractions would destroy my effectiveness.

I don't get this. Tar isn't that hard.

x = eXtract files from an archive
f = File path to the archive
c = Create a new archive from files
v = print Verbose output
z = apply gZip the input or output

That's 99% of common tar right there. The remaining one percent is:

j = apply bzip2 to the input or output
(I admit, j is a weird one here, though that has made it stick in my memory)

If these are pay-per-click ads, then there's zero difference to the publishers if I see them or not, because I will never click on one as a matter of principle.

If these are pay-per-impression ads, then an ad blocker that downloads ads without displaying them should be just fine with the publishers.

Either way I see absolutely no point in keeping ads in the content if/when they can be trimmed away.

No it has not. In fact there has been more elaborate work done inside of rails (and django/python) than ever before.

Conversion ratio is a very misleading number. Beef cattle very inefficiently convert corn, that's true. That's because beef cattle evolved to eat grass. When fed grass, they convert it efficiently. You can get a low more calories by growing hay, feeding the whole plant to a cow and then drinking the milk; than by growing grain, throwing away the stalk, feeding the seeds to a chicken, and then eating the chicken.
Google decided to instead focus on App Engine, and even that was launched in 2008 (and out of preview in '11).
As others have mentioned, it is not optimal for you to specify female devs only within your job ad. A more productive approach is to write a straightforward ad[1], include your openness to a diverse workforce and widen your ad circulation by contacting organizations that contain high #s of underrepresented populations in tech[2][3].

[2] You didn't mention your location, many online groups are global and may have members in your area. Most have mailing lists, so their admins can post your job ad. The "An incomplete list of women's tech communities" section of this site lists over 30 female tech groups:

[3] There are many related tech groups on Facebook too. You can search and message their admins about posting your ad. I also recommend searching and posting related questions on Twitter.

I did a bit of work with point-cloud/lidar data during a placement with an engineering company. They were actually driving down highways with LIDAR apparatus attached to a vehicle to build a point clouds of roads/similar. The sheer detail (points per inch/similar) in the point clouds whilst beneficial also requires ridiculous amounts of RAM to do any form of processing. If rendered as points, it's only useful at a distance, as you zoom in it becomes a void with sparse points.

I tried using PCL[1] to convert a point-cloud into a mesh and I seem to recall it using upwards of 6 times the amount of memory of the stored points (before I ran out of memory). I was only there a short time so I never did get round to making it work.

Noise is a big deal if you're shooting in low light. You generally have to bump the ISO up to compensate for it. In simple terms the ISO is the sensitivity of the...err...sensor. Higher sensitivity leads to brighter photos but unfortunately more noise. It's especially obvious in larger prints.

The reason you don't notice noise is that most camera work actively avoids the situations that causes it. That's why most shots are well lit or taken in day, high iso is typically grainy, people don't usually have the expensive setup required to avoid bumping the ISO up to an inordinate level.

Better noise reduction > higher acceptable iso levels > clearer low light photos.

Consumer cameras and entry level DSLRs buckle in low light, better noise reduction will reduce the investment required to avoid that.
There's no performance penalty here. The only difference is that you're on the safe side if you don't dereference before the null check. Whether discussed case is UB or not, compilers I've tried (MSVC 2013, GCC 4.9.something) produce the same code in both cases.

Do you already have a degree in a related field? If so, just get a certificate online, and perhaps even consider going for the free versions over the certified ones.

So long as you can prove your skills and have the related degree already established, there's really little reason to spend money on a certificate.

It's very true that MongoDB was able to target developers who didn't know or care about a lot of issues in the databases world. However, I wouldn't attribute Vertica's success to coming out of the academic world and being funded by the government.

MongoDB targets a part of the market that is well served. There are loads of other options that work well like PostgreSQL. If you were targeting a truly distributed transactional database, you might have been trying to build something that has that order-of-magnitude-better characteristics, but MongoDB doesn't seem like that.

Vertica, on the other hand, really targeted an area that wasn't well served and a decade after C-Store this area still isn't well served by anyone other than Vertica. ParAccel/Redshift isn't really comparable, though many go with it because Amazon will manage it for them.

For MongoDB, the question is "how can we win over developers' hearts and minds?" Why use Mongo? Well, you like the query DSL and get annoyed by joins, and they have a great website and documentation, and we all know that joins are slow so without them everything must scale nicely. But realistically, there are a bunch of other options that could be substituted for it.

And you're right that Vertica skipped the community aspect. The reason why is that something like Vertica isn't interesting if you don't have a lot of data. MongoDB targeted people who might have GBs of data that they wanted to store. There's a lot of people and community relations is going to matter, especially because there are lots of battle-tested alternatives. Since Vertica is most interesting when you have more data than can fit on a single machine's hard drives and might take hours to run analytics queries against, they're going to be targeting a much different market.

Vertica also had the advantage of being associated with the biggest names in databases. Stonebraker has a Turing award. Even beyond that, the names you'd think of when you think databases were involved in C-Store and Vertica.

If you're really creating something that has order-of-magnitude-better characteristics, you probably shouldn't target people that have 10GB of data to store. Someone once said something to the effect of: once there were more than 200 websites on the internet, it made more sense to target web frameworks at the websites that weren't the top 100 than solving for the problems of the top 100 sites. Most sites aren't going to need a massively distributed database. They might have dreams that the same codebase will scale from 100,000 visits/day to Facebook-scale, but they're just dreams. The fact is that for 10GB worth of data, your database probably wouldn't be better simply because that's already well-handled. In fact, distributed consensus on such small data would probably make your database worse. You really need to target people that you're solving a problem for.

Vertica just isn't interesting technology for the vast majority of users and so they don't sell to the vast majority of users. MongoDB is interesting for those who want an alternative DSL and such.
It's also funny and hypocritical of them to block social media buttons and upon clicking on their Chrome extension button, you're invited to share the number of blocked requests on these same platforms.
Sure, and that's all reasonable stuff. I mostly posted this because while encouraging people to use wildly insecure installation processes like 'curl ... | sudo bash' is terrible, it's easily recognized as being terrible. To me, the Docker ethos is, perhaps, deceptively bad in terms of security. Deceptive enough that it it can lull people into a false sense of security, etc etc.

I mean, we'll see if it happens. My fears might be entirely unfounded, or phusion/baseimage-docker might get trojaned. Who knows. :P
The only abuse in this story is between Mara and her own mindset. She is willing to work at a place like this after she gets both her degrees. She priced herself out of a better economy when she chose to apply to retail jobs.

The problem is that propaganda preaches employment and jobs. People feel pressured to get a job, and therefore desperate for any job. This irrational self-deprecation artificially increases supply in the entry-level labor market, pushing down the price of labor.

As retail becomes automated, employees become overqualified. Literally, "anyone could do that." If anyone can build widgets, then widget factories can hire anyone. If a factory can hire anyone, then it only needs to match the lowest price demanded by a potential employee.

It's a cycle. Automation displaces jobs, employees become overqualified, most do not have savings to sustain long job search, so they become desperate, apply for underqualified job, lower price of job itself.

The bottom rung of the employment ladder is like those blocks you need to jump on in old Mario games. You know, the ones that move up and down, you need to jump on them at the right place, and then jump off them at the right time to get to the next platform. You're not supposed to stay on the bottom rung. You're supposed to get on it, then jump off it.

The focus of entry-level employment should be on career-development and opportunity expansion. As an employer, recognize that no employee wants to stay in entry-level forever. How can you help your employees expand their set of opportunities?

Well that is the problem here. Farming has changed. Particularly so in America. A handful slaughterhouses, heavy corn use, chemically power washed eggs, all within a framework that is made for economical returns and not animal welfare or taste. And it is not a US-only problem. Denmark for example is facing huge issues with pig farming and here in Norway we are seeing problems with use of antibiotics in chickens.

I like to believe the trend goes away from large scale apps/services that cost nothing for the end user (and are financed by trading user data and/or showing adverts) towards small/medium sized apps/services that cost a bit of money. This enables businesses with smaller audiences to survive and solve those "smaller" problems.

Some of these are terrific changes! E.g., OpenMP 4.0 and Cilk Plus support, wew! I also love that ``gcc`` now defaults to ``-std=gnu11`` instead of ``-std=gnu89``; what a huge step forward! But, there were a couple of things in here that I was hoping to see but did not find (namely, it seems gcc still does not have ``-Weverything``).

While I am glad to see gcc making progress, I feel bound to clang until gcc's warning/error reporting can get up-to-speed.
Culturally people who are vegetarians in practice just ask for a salad or whatever and are good with it. The public self identifier of vegetarian has been stolen by folks who engage in intense proselytizing. So culturally people don't know how to react to people who self identify as vegetarians... are they "cool" in which case they can play it cool and friendly in response, or is the slogan shouting and poster waving about to start in which case they might have to contact security ... so it creates that awkwardness you mention. Some folks tolerate or support the proselytizing, maybe because they like watching the world burn, who knows.

By analogy, imagine if it was "normal" culturally if when a non-member is at a church for a friends wedding or whatever for that non-member to break out into a string of religious slurs about the members and attempt aggressive recruitment into the non-members religion. You can totally imagine in a society like that, if you're in a catholic church and tell people you're an evang, they'll recoil in horror and start worrying if security will need to evict you. Because most people act a little more civilized in church, most of the time no one freaks out when they discover a non-member attends.
