What are you doing that it's keeping your interest?

I sometimes find myself getting tired of technology and while I love software development, I often think about not doing it anymore. After a while it gets old constantly dealing with other people's decisions.

An easy example is working with Powershell Remoting can be a nightmare if you're not intimately familiar with both Windows itself and Windows Remoting specifically. It's extremely hard to simply use it as a shell without so much deep knowledge, something I don't find to be the case on unix systems.

Absolutely not an attack on Windows, just a recent example I've come across where I don't want to have such a deep knowledge of Windows, but I'm forced to in order to deal with a tech that, in theory, should help me be productive without having such deep knowledge.

I have my days where I just get tired of it all. The day I realized IIS forces you to load DLL's in child applications because the parent loads a DLL (even though they can use separate app pools) is one example. I can't imagine why that's the default.

I find myself having to go home and work on things like homegrown emulators and the like just to keep up my love of technology.
Right - that should have read weak typing.

Dragon ... sorry to read about your sister's site. We are just a couple out of many thousands that Google has crushed under the guise of improving the "web experience". I made it just about as high up the ladder as your sister and got the same response. Tough shit. They don't care that they've destroyed people's businesses and lives as long as they can make a buck.

I understand the need for some of what was done as there are lots of people that game the system. But to do a sweeping change that judges every site the same and has a particular dislike for retail sites and affiliates was either an intentional act to hurt these verticals or short sightedness. I really doubt it's the latter.

All that people like myself and your sister can do is try to "please" Google and also use other channels/social to try to bring more visitors.

As long as Google can fill the results page with paid ads and their own ads why should they care about the little guys who many like myself were hard working, honest and never thought Google would screw us as they did for no warranted reasons.
9 Natural Ways to Burn Your Tummy Without Exercising
Go with Wordpress. I used Ghost for my blog for a little over a year (started using it immediately after it was first released) and, despite it being a solid blog engine, it's very limiting if you want to do anything other than that.

Ghost does not yet have plugin support, so adding social meta data to your blog is much less intuitive than if you were to use something like WP's 'Yoast SEO plugin'. The Ghost team has made some great improvements that have resolved the woes of manually entering meta attributes to your posts, but Yoast's SEO plugin is still taking the lead with optimizing your page for sharing/SEO.

I had several woes when I used Ghost. At one point, I decided that I wanted to make a static splash page as my root page '(mysite).com', with a 'blog' button that takes you to the blog section at '(mysite.com)/blog' Turns out it's impossible to do this on Ghost. It would have to be implemented on Apache.

Next, I wanted to make a separate page to showcase my artwork. I was thinking of making a nice gallery page. The best way to do it with Ghost would be making a new blog post, setting it to be a static page, then embedding the pictures manually with Markdown. I could have made a photo gallery with Javascript and tucked it under the Markdown, but it just felt unnecessarily hacky and I didn't want to deal with it. It would have been nice to just have a simple out-of-the-box feature plugin that would do that for me.

Wordpress is a massive, well-seasoned Goliath, and Ghost is the smaller, younger David. Like I said, Ghost is great for what it is: a blog engine. But if you want to add anything else to your blog and maybe make it work more like a website, you'll have to either write up your own theme for it or crawl under the code to tweak it around to your taste.

When I moved to Wordpress, I imported my posts, added a picture gallery, splash page, fully customized everything and it took just a few hours and it looked great. It was such a sigh of relief.

If you're using Photoshop then you might also have access to other Adobe products, Flash has been able to do this for more then a dacade and depending on the complexity of the bitmap (photos obviously don't work that well), it had good results for me in the past. Since the output is a vector, often its quite easy to tweak the end result as well.

Yea cool, but my recent experience for that is es6 promise don't produce the complete error trace. Is call stack information available for es6 promise now?
I used to use a very convoluted coverage setup with my Rails apps to ensure that coverage was only counted for the parts directly under test. To clarify: it's pretty easy in a Rails app to write an integration test that hits one endpoint and uses every model.

Because end-to-end integration tests don't actually assert anything about model properties, it's incorrect to record model coverage during such tests. So each controller test only recorded coverage for the controller it was testing (and nothing else), each model test only recorded coverage for the model it was testing (and nothing else), etc.

Of course, in a more IoC/DI-type system (Spring, etc.) well-written tests don't interact with other objects in the first place: stubs or mocks are injected. In that case it's easier to ensure a test for a given component only exercises that one component, but you still have to verify that your assertions are meaningful for the coverage to ultimately mean anything.

So I guess what I'm saying is even with all those precautions and thought, a tool like this is extremely useful to tell you "uh, hey, this method you think exercises all your code isn't actually asserting anything meaningful about your code's behavior". More of this, please!
CNC milling does have more metal waste up front, but it's usually recovered, separated from any contaminants, and remelted into new metal, so it's not really "waste" in the long-term sense. The recovery isn't free, of course, but then that's just another part of the economics calculation.

The only reason you're not demanding a mechanical keyboard yourself is that you're not old enough to have used one. They have a totally different feel that is more efficient for fast flawless typing.

How do you prevent members from only enjoying the upside?

Example: say we're a group of musicians, starting a MusicianCoin group. I happen to be a fairly shameless participant, so I enjoy the basic income while I'm still bootstrapping my career, but one day I hit it big, and now my concerts are all sold out for the next year (and of course, tickets are sold in exchange for MusicianCoins).

Do I give back to the group? If I want to do that, that's easy: I just sit on my newly earned pile of MusicianCoins, and wait for the steady rate of minting to dissipate the value away to other members of the group. But what if I just exit my position immediately? By trading my MusicianCoins for dollars (thereby putting downward pressure on the value of MusicianCoin), I'm avoiding giving back any of the value I created, I think?

I think this is what makes it fundamentally different than a tax-based basic income: you can't (legally) opt out of taxes.

I think it's funny how many xml based UI frameworks have been made over the years that are better composed better than html with more strict rules and consistency that are continuously overlooked at times.

I would like to think that for some UI projects that things like XAML(WPF/Silverlight) or Flex(Flash) would be some of the first things to reach for... IIRC there are similar tooling for building for GTK and QT applications. Why build your own?
The (very rough) process with next-gen sequencing is as follows:

1. one or more samples are taken from the patient (tumor/normal, peripheral blood, bone marrow, etc.)
2. the samples are sequenced, this can take different forms, involve different processes, but basically, specific sections of the genome are extracted, amplified, then turned into digital data
3. the data is aligned to a reference genome
4. the aligned data is scanned for variants (mutations), often in specific genes, and even specific sites of certain genes. This again involves different methods often used in combination
5. the variants are partially filtered out automatically (poor quality, bad reads, spurious, synonymous, etc.)
6. the remaining variants are then reviewed manually, relying on academic papers and historical data
7. what remains is reviewed again, taking the patient's history into account, and potential targeted treatments are inferred
8. the patient and his/her doctor make the final decision

So from what I understand, even in an optimal scenario, Watson would be taking care of steps 6 and 7, which represent maybe 15% of the overall time. I believe the article presented here is rather misleading in this regard, as it seems to suggest that Watson would be taking care of the actual sequencing too.

Additionally, I imagine that in most cases some humans would still need to review Watson's data.

What the article doesn't mention either is access to the actual patient data, which in itself is a political and operational problem, not so much a technical one.

Finally, I imagine Watson would infer the individual variant diagnoses from papers, which again, is far easier said than done (though I do believe that would be the point where Watson shines most). Parsing papers reliably for usable data is really, really hard, in no small part because the academic system is antiquated, as are paper formats. Even if you manage that, you still have to figure out whether the papers in question, or their authors, are actually reliable sources. And even then, you will likely end up with conflicting interpretations which will need to be sorted out.

So while a nice fluff piece for IBM, I have serious doubts about the actually meaningful benefits Watson supposedly brings to the table.

To be clear, I do believe that AI/ML can and do really help, and contrarily to what the article might want you to believe, people are already working with/on it. However making Watson look like it will solve all the current problems with cancer care is disingenuous at best.

On the one hand, I agree, we should all do everything we can to prevent suicide. It's the right thing to do, and it may very often be the case, as in the above account, that small positive actions can have disproportionate results.

On the other hand, we need to be diligent to avoid assuming responsibility for the actions of others. If we look at suicide prevention as an assumed responsibility, it can be hard to avoid feeling guilt when someone close to us takes their own life.

We should always be good to each other, and we should reach out to others in kindness, whether they appear to be in need or not. But, we should be careful with how we relate to the actions of others, lest we fall into a trap that we cannot get out of.

Stupid question - why would their life be better?

For me, most people I meet day to day, they don't even exist past our minor interactions, most of which are positive because I'm positive.

The few folks who I interact with on a regular basis - it is all positive, or else I'd stop interacting with them.

There are situations where you have to regularly interact with people who are going to be annoying (teachers in school, parents if you live at home, boss at work, etc) - you just have to learn self-defense tactics and work toward being more independent.

The people who are annoying - they are just incompetent at life. Their life sucks with me in it and with me not in it. The rest are either not affected or affected in a positive way.

So I don't know where you're at but if you're not a net positive to those around you - you have got some work to do.

Boys can be found at any age. The difference between a man and a boy is whether you have a beard. Ok, I'm kidding.

Seriously, though, my boss, the CEO of the company I'm a co-founder on, is 25 years younger than me. He's not a boy, though he has boyish good looks. (Can't get him to keep the beard.)

There are a lot of boys running startups in the Bay Area, and it's true most of them are younger, because if you don't have wisdom or common sense, time tends to give it to you. So those who will learn do, when they've had enough experience.

How is this supposed to work? There is little to no information on how this feature works. Can you give me a pointer?

In addition, restart:on-failure appears to have issues if docker itself crashes.
