I'll give a bit different view - my self worth ain't derived much from my professional career. Sure, I am (a bit) successful, equal or more than most peers at university. Yeah, compared to my first full time dev job (same platform as now), my salary jumped 20x over the years. I've worked for energetics, insurance, army, telco, car manufacturer, local government, retail sales, banks, and more banks (perm & contractor too). So what?

It's what I do outside of my work defines me much more. I am into travelling, adventures and mountain-based activities. All weekends possible I spend in alps trying not to kill myself, but not too hard. During week it's workouts in gym, interval runs, climbing indoors, biking etc. Not really marathon-style fit, but quite OK.

When I meet somebody new, I ask 1 question about their work, and don't go deeper (unless it's super amazing, which in 99% is not). I do care who hey are as a person, what drives them and what they do in their free time, where they travelled etc. If they cannot talk about anything but work, I'll pass.

One of benefits is (apart from feeling great, being happy with myself and so on) - remove my work (for whatever reason), and I am still happy. Add it, I'll try to find some new professional challenges, but won't break my back and remove personal life just to prove something to somebody (pre-release exceptions happen :)). But all in all, we are all unique mix, and each of us has to find his/her own way to these things.

Want a different perspective? Take a backpack, and head for 2-4 weeks into some truly exotic destination that is without war, but also no 1st world coziness all over the place. Buy just return flight, and let things happen. If you have more time, spend more :)
No, I don't think it's a war of any kind. That's a label used by governments to get buy-in from the public. If it's war, it must be serious and we should fund it seriously.

This campaign against drugs is not racist in essence, but it is coincidental with race in some places. However, you'll see the same attitudes toward drugs in homogeneous countries as well as Africa, Latin america and Asia.

The policy against drugs comes from a fear it will make citizens beholden to something unproductive. That is drugged up people don't contribute to society and makes people lazy. It also means the government has less influence on these people. They provide unwanted drag.

On the other hand, if you want a docile population, do drug them up like they did during the opium wars in Asia.

I think any association with race is coincidental. That's to say we'd have had this policy in the US even if we had been 100% homogenous population. However, we do know the policies affected those population most susceptible to the effects of drug addiction. Poor people black and white. Appalachia is just as ravaged by drugs as any place in the us, trailer parks, etc. Poor people can't get treatment, they can't hide their addiction as easily, can't hire competent lawyers, etc.

It was never a war though. It was a bad policy. Just like the one child policy in China. It was not a war on families, it was terrible policy.

As someone who has spent some time playing Minecraft (and has kids who have spent even more time doing so), I'm really happy to see this effort.

FTA: "Most of what Mojang has added since beta 1.7.3 is fluff, life support for a game that was “done” years ago."

I don't know if Minecraft really has ever been done, but I couldn't agree more with the statement that Mojang has just added fluff. I'm amazed at what they accomplished in 2012 and most of 2013, but things seemed to come to a near-halt in 2014...with a major release taking ~8 months that resulted in flags, a handful of new blocks, and still no sign of the oft-requested, oft-promised Mod API.

If there was one feature that would greatly expand the lifespan of the game, it would be a consistent modding interface. Anybody who has been begged by their kids to install a mod knows what a nightmare it can be, just from an end-user standpoint. Why the development team didn't make this top priority remains a mystery.

I can't help but think that once Mojang finished counting their money, they decided to sit on their laurels...Alexander weeping and all that. The Microsoft purchase, while appearing disastrous at first, may be the best thing for the game at this point as the remaining Mojang staff don't appear to be very interested in doing much other than bringing the Xbox version up to PC capabilities. At least Microsoft will want to get their money's worth out of the franchise.

Zen meditation focuses on posture and breathing, which carries over into awareness of posture throughout the day.

He was wrong in seeing this as a hidden attack strategy by MS. RMS sees issues with many licenses and discourages many languages. This was an attack on a language which was MUCH less than others in terms of concerns, but the community attacked mono with such fervor.

Java - https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html

X Windows trap - https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/x.html

How about javascript https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html

There are many projects that use javascript in Linux. Gnome has made javascript the default configuration language.

I find that the reason mono was so focused was that it came from Microsoft. It was a witch hunt that was guided by a conspiracy theory.

The Causes and Consequences of Distinctly Black Names (2004) [pdf]
I feel for you. In our house computer games, like Minecraft, began to consume all our children's (12 and under) time and attention --- they wanted to do absolutely nothing else. So, we made a rule, no computer games, except on what my wife and I called "Technology Tuesdays." At first the going was really tough, but it seems to have worked. The children now enjoying playing computer games on Tuesday (which turns out to be only a few hours after school on Tuesday), but are back to pursuing other interests the rest of the time.

On the other hand, for truly educational content, like Khan Academy, they have unlimited access.

Strengthen your core muscles, engage your abductors often.

This is really good advice. I regularly see an active release therapist (I'm an avid climber, and no longer a spring chicken, so I get some aches and pains), and he has given me a small selection of exercises to do during the day at work to keep my abductors engaged. It's made a huge difference.
What I'd like to see is an ability for me to provide a list of appliances that I tend to use in my house (makes/models) along with a "typical" use pattern like "washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, stove, 50" TV, 200W sound system and blu-ray player or cable box frequently get used at the same time" With a usage pattern like that, which of the two batteries would be most useful? would I need multiples wired in series or parallel? is that possible? how long would it last under a load like that? My target is for off-grid use, so ROI isn't as big a concern to me as longevity of power and charging requirements from off-grid power generation.

- You can't wait to share your knowledge and skills with our students!

Interested? Email anna.tsykalova@ga.co.
That doesn't really make sense.

Electric utilities require capital investment proportional to peak usage, but only earn returns on average usage. This will only increase the ROIC of an electric utility by reducing the peak:average ratio.

Additionally, electric utilities are in a constant cycle of capacity upgrades to keep up with increasing demand. Customers adding distributed storage allows utilities to delay capital investment (which makes the company look better in the near-term).

I know its a side point, but I gather that smokers actually cost the UK NHS less than non-smokers, because smokers tend to die younger and faster than non-smokers. The people who cost the NHS a lot are the healthy, clean living people who survive into their 80s and 90s needing more and more healthcare as they go.

Unlike most other drugs, alcohol intoxication greatly increases the likelihood that you will consume more alcohol, thus leading to a compounding cycle that can very quickly lead to an unintentional "massive loss of control". Unintentionally consuming more than a "normal dose" is perhaps the quintessential regret of habitual alcohol users.
