Actually, I'd say your parents were spot on with both your first and middle name, because middle names are usually picked in honor of someone in their or their parent's generation (usually a relative).

The other thing is for the "classiest" names (ie most fashionable) you want to be at the head of the trend not at the height of popularity as it's become "common" by then.
Sometimes you want the error case to be fast. That's actually what everyone who is bringing up this argument is implicitly acknowledging by saying that you shouldn't use exceptions for all errors. In that case you need an alternative mechanism for error handling, which is readily provided by Rust's facilities. It is not true that Rust only cares about performance of errors and not ergonomics, and I don't know where that idea came from--that's why we have the try macro and unwrap!

Rust does follow the model of "exceptions for truly exceptional cases"--that's what panic is for. It's implemented with unwinding under the hood, just as in C++, and you can change it to abort if you want.
I just bought Riding with the King last month. Didn't know there was a DVD-Audio version.

I was sad to hear that some of his recent performances were poorly received:

When it comes to aging music icons who still perform, I think of Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones. They're in their early seventies, kids compared to B.B. King, touring in his late eighties. If you ever catch me booing a man like B.B. King for an erratic performance, punch me in the nose. Hard.
Most people view the term "Military Industrial Complex" from the view of the primary definition of complex - "consisting of many different and connected parts".

It seems however, that Eisenhower intended that phrase to use the psychoanalytic definition of complex - "a related group of emotionally significant ideas that are completely or partly repressed and that cause psychic conflict leading to abnormal mental states or behavior". More of a dysfunctional mental state of the nation than an actual physical interaction.

HN's strategy of burying unpopular posts is very, very strange to me. While reddit's is similar, at least you can disable it manually - to do that for HN would require tampermonkey or the equivalent.

This is spelled out in the General Order documents of every US police department.

Virtually all police are authorized --- in fact, trained & required --- to use deadly force to "protect themselves or another person from imminent death or serious bodily
injury". A credible hammer swing to their partner's head obviously qualifies.

Unlike in other situations, they aren't supposed to carefully judge the minimum possible level of force. If "imminent death or serious bodily injury" is at stake, they are trained to use firearms.

No cop in that situation wants to try to grapple with the attacker --- he's about 8-10 feet away from the officer when he brandishes his weapon --- only to fail to prevent the hammer strike that paralyzes his partner.

There's a legit public policy debate to be had about whether US foot police should be outfitted and trained more like UK police, so that most of them don't have firearms at all. But it's not fair to single these officers out. If we're going to evaluate this incident under the rubric of "a good shooting", as you did, it's hard to see how this doesn't qualify.
You need to supply some links to papers or articles supporting your claims, or mention the books you handwavingly reference. If you want people to take your (somewhat incendiary) assertions seriously, you need to provide some evidence or at least sources.

Otherwise, they're right to dismiss you as a crank.

From the two computers I've used with spotify clients on the Linux version is far snappier and more responsive (as in responds to commands sometime within the current minute) than the OSx version.

According to their blogs etc the main purpose of the Linux version is internal use by spotify developers working on Linux workstations - it is only released to the public because, "why not?". I wonder if this is why the Linux version is 'behind' the windows/OSx versions but actually works better. I.e. they dogfood it more but don't feel the need for constant UI 'improvements'.
More likely that they built modest homes because they needed less resources, meaning they could build more of them.
The idea is that typically people expect a laptop to remain powered when the cord is unplugged (due to the battery), and so in a situation where the laptop is grabbed the power is cut immediately (and unexpectedly) and the hard-drive is no longer decrypted. As another commenter pointed out, a forensics team could then probably grab whatever they needed from the system memory (presuming they acted fast enough), but as I understand it the problem becomes significantly more complicated.
UK police seem to be quite capable of dealing with this kind of thing with the side-handled baton or occasional taser. Partly because they have extensive training in de-escalation.
I've worked with developers in 4 countries so far, including India, and I've learned two things. (1) you have good developers everywhere, the challenge is finding and hiring them, and (2) there are only two efficient org structures for developing a codebase, everyone in the same location (optimizing for face to face) or everyone remote (optimizing for online communication). Most shops end up setting up a remote unit outsourcing a particular set of tasks (e.g. maintenance, or a particular module), and that's a recipe for disaster because you end up with an extremely inefficient communication structure (blend of face to face and online, no one actually knows what's going on, yet everyone spends the whole day communicating).

The thing I've noticed about hiring in India is that due to the economic circumstances a lot more people go into software development who have no business being there. You can find good developers, but you have to weed out many more bad candidates to get to them.
It seems odd to me that many bitcoin supporters consider Satoshi's pre-mined coins to be a personal security risk (to the tune of $200 million), but simultaneously refuse to hold that fact against bitcoin even though "pre-mined" is a common pejorative used to criticize altcoins.

In point (1) she basically just described how SRS operates...I doubt they'll be willing to use this to punish them, though.

Speaing of SRS, maybe it's time the community starts asking A) how many reddit employees are involved with SRS and B) how many other subs the anonymous* SRS mods also moderate.

I have never understood Erik's enduring appeal, particularly in light of the vehemence with which he could be technically wrong.

<foo bar="zot">quux</foo>

should be read as

(foo (bar "zot") "quux")

and most definitely _NOT_ as ((:foo :bar "zot") "quux")

Erik has this exactly backwards. His rendering is ambiguous: it does not distinguish <foo bar="zot"/> from <foo><bar>zot</bar></foo> (as he himself implicitly acknowledges later in the post). Also, rendering unqualified tags as keywords makes it easier to deal with namespaces.

IMHO the Right Way to render <foo bar="zot">quux</foo> is ((:foo :bar "zot") "quux") with the further qualification that if there are no tags then ((:foo) "quux") can be simplfied to (:foo "quux"). This preserves a 1-1 correspondence between XML and sexprs, which is IMHO a requirement (in fact, the only requirement) for a reasonable mapping. If you have a 1-1 correspondence then you can freely convert back and forth between the two. If you don't, then you can't.

If the laptop turned off and the drive was encrypted by what basic method could they extrapolate the same information as if the computer was decrypted and powered on? Are you referring to some kind of memory attack? Wouldn't they need to be prepared to do that kind of forensic work in the extremely near term (or have some equipment on-hand to preserve the memory at least)? I'm pretty uninformed in this area and would appreciate a lesson.

Whether it's a good or bad thing is irrelevant. I agree that we should be aware and try to deter some instances, but saying that having skin in the game causes incentives seems like a weird conclusion to me. It should be obvious.

My point has nothing to do with the specifics, I was merely pointing out that attacking patriarchy is not an attack against all men. That should be pretty obvious, but hey...

I don't know if I can give you a quality definition of patriarchy, I am sure you can google that yourself, if you are actually interested. If you just want me to make some silly semantic mistake and then bicker about it, then this will get boring soon...

I would say in short that patriarchy is a form of societal organization where men dominate. As the bloody word says itself already.
I keep coming back to this. What I think a lot of the other comments are missing is:

1. This is a LATERAL move
2. You are being paid at MARKET RATES in BOTH COMPANIES: the business models just differ

You are NOT being underpaid and this is NOT a foundation for negotiation.

Think about it this way. You take home $20/hr currently. Your costs to your current company (salary, benefits, taxes, overhead, etc.) are probably around $35/hr. They're billing you out at $45/hr and making a 20% margin.

Your client sees an opportunity to pay you $30/hr directly (call it $40/hr loaded with benefits, taxes, etc.) for the EXACT SAME WORK. They are saving $5/hr.

If you go back to your current company and demand a 1.5x raise... well, let's do the math. You make $30/hr. $40/hr loaded costs. So they'd have to bill you at $50/hr to make it worth their while. The client won't pay that, so the market won't bear a raise.

I can't agree with many of the comments here.

But a comment made by @ashark can at least explain that stoicism is a topic from ancient philosophy and that practicing it might improve your view on the world by avoiding self-inflicted feelings.

> Silly me, I thought the change of mind was about empathy.

It's important that it's economic.

If I work my median job, and live my median lifestyle, and I observe that people who don't work are getting more than I am, that's very challenging. I immediately feel resentful about the fact that I had to work for this when others didn't.

It makes it seem like the economic system is broken and unfair. As soon as that happens, there's no chance you will feel empathy to those people who are benefiting more.

Recognising that the economics is OK is therefore very important - it allows you to start to have empathy.
For a website?

Why scala? Because LinkedIn and Twitter use it?

I have had great experience with Django in the past 8 years. Nice tooling. Nice template engine. Nice ORM. Mature. Scalable. Robust.

The main detractor you'll hear about it is performance. You're just building a website. Even in situations where I'm recompiling LESS (bootstrap), with all debug tools on, and rendering images in the same pageload, it takes 200ms.

Since python is interpreted, you just refresh the page. No 10 minute compiling just because you had a typo.

One thing about django I don't like though is you never get the "snappy" feeling of just loading a page like lightning fast. Java / scala / golang gives the impression.
When used as a pejorative, it means coins that were mined before releasing the mining client to the world.

Satoshi only started mining after releasing the client, so those coins are not really pre-mined.

> Same with gold

Not quite. Gold imposes physical constraints and attendant risks that bitcoin doesn't: gold is heavy, and you have to store it someplace physical. If the location of your hiding place is discovered, it's hard to move. And you have to be physically present to accept the initial delivery. None of these are true for bitcoin. For the kidnapping scenario you still have to take physical risks, but once that is accomplished the extortion itself can be conducted form the comfort of your living room, wherever that may happen to be.
ImageIdentify recognizes most food items as emmental
Path of Exile and Bloons TD 5 are both examples of F2P and P2W done right.

For Path of Exile, the pay to win nature of it is extremely small. Extra stash tabs to aid in making item combos. But the benefits are so little and they in no way make the game worse for any player who does. There is no artificial slow downs added just to be a way to take money from the player.

Bloons TD 5 is pretty much single player and everything can be unlocked just by playing it enough.

Bloons City is a bit iffy as it does introduce artificial slow downs, but the vs. other players is optional as long as you aren't agressive.

LoL might also count as P2W as their is a slight advantage between a new player who does pay and one who doesn't, but the minimal and effectively nothing compared to just skill level differences.
