If you get fired before payday, your employer is still legally obligated to pay you for the days you actually did work during that period.
Totally disagree. I think you can easily compare European Culture, Asian Culture, North American Culture... they are clearly represented.

Brits, Italians, Polish, Icelandic and Germans clearly form a homogeneous group. A Mexican, New Yorker and Alaskan clearly form another one. And who could disagree that a Chinese, Australian, Indonesian, Indian and Japanese might as well be the same person?

Android tablets exceed iPads in market share. 61.9% in 2013 according to a quick google search.
The actual car events listed on their website is incredibility limited. Anyone who has spent time dealing with OBD-II ports, canbus, etc. knows that getting access to data beyond basics like RPM, Speed, and maybe braking (Mode 1 PIDs) is typically vendor specific and can vary between years of the same model, let alone models within the same manufacturer.

Someone mentioned VW below. Remember, there has been discussion that the automotive vendors want to lock access to OBD-II/Canbus info.
You've decided that, under no circumstances whatsoever is it ok to pirate content. (Or, perhaps more generally, under no circumstances whatsoever is it ok to break the law)

That's cool, and that's a fair position.

I disagree. There are plenty of reasons, big and small, to choose not to follow the rules. The more pressure on Hollywood to provide reasonable options, in my opinion, the better.

But, that said, how about lets be respectful about it?
Still no Broadwell
I live in Dubuque Iowa, and I'll say this, everyone knew IBM was only coming for a short period of time. This was expected from everyone here.

Dubuque has a long history of trying to lure people here, and it's horrible. First it was luring blacks from Chicago with free housing and prepaid credit cards to up the minority count so the city could qualify for grants. Then it was IBM.

Not much smart people here.
This is the quaint 1990s kind of privacy concern - when the privacy experts of the day warned us we would receive a lot of junk mail and credit card offers if we weren't careful with our data.
I strongly approve of this message. I think the reason why Ruby has such terrible DSLs is not due to its technological strengths or weaknesses but instead because the community promotes the idea that a good DSL is super human readable.

I'm not one to denigrate syntax or readability, but I think it must without any question be prioritized below good semantics. The "Zen of Python" has some (but hardly all) this hammered out well

* Explicit is better than implicit.
* Simple is better than complex.
* Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
* In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

Working in DSLs—and really there's no reason to think that we're not always working in DSLs nearer or further from our actual domain—should simplify concepts first and syntax later.
There used to be a lot of resistance in various traditional European business circles (taking meetings, intros, etc.) to working with outsiders, whereas in SV, there is often much less resistance. The other challenge in most countries is dealing with potential customers, staff, partners and other stakeholders that are title, formality, bureaucracy, analysis paralysis and business theater people that can't deal with the reality and uncertainty of nimble, effective action. The latter get the job done, while the former waste time on minimal value-generating activities.

It is easy to make mistakes painting with the broad brush of generalizations, however there are some qualitative patterns which emerge when dealing businesspeople from say Argentina or Japan, but there are always exceptions. (Just be sure to know the expected traditions and test out the other parties to see how cool are they.)
Given I want a 10-point touchscreen on a laptop, I use Windows 8, and I find the touch interactions delightful, I clearly disagree.
Keep in mind that leap days serve a different purpose than leap seconds. Leap days exist because the number of rotations of the earth per one revolution around the sun is not a whole number. Leap seconds exist because the duration of one rotation is not constant.
In enterprise and B2B apps, such integrations are fairly routine and they do run the gamut from the simple "click on a link to launch an app in another window to iframe-style integration to very deep integration.

Some examples of the latter that I've seen are features like being able to create contacts and accounts in Salesforce.com from a customer service web app and running a customer credit check in a CRM app from a third-party credit checking service etc.
> The US has direly changed since 2004 and not for the better.

It's complicated.

Since 2004 we're finally getting to the point where some of the insanity put in place in the aftermath of 2001-09-11 is starting to go away.

On the flip side, the ways some of that is being done (see TSA PreCheck, put in place in 2011) are quite odious... but I have a hard time blaming Bush for a policy put in place in 2011.

While I agree that the changes from 2004 to 2008 were fairly negative, the ones from 2008 to 2012 were just as negative if not worse.

All of which is to say that the two major parties were quite happily marching in lockstep toward creating a security state for a while there. I'm glad to see that at least the electorate and the judiciary are now moving in the opposite direction.

Essentially it's a device that converts diagnostic data to a standardized format (and displays this in a corresponding app)?
+now you can use the data in your own apps

Is the app required or is there a device that I can plug in, read data for a while, unplug and get the data to a desktop (like a usb key)...because that would be interesting for me. Anything with a mobile connection...scares me :D
It's not been my experience that things are getting worse in that respect; in fact, I'd say heat-wise things are significantly better than previous generations. Intel has put a lot of effort into making its chips more energy efficient, which has a side effect of generating much less heat. I'd guess that, combined with better chassis design, accounts for the improvement.

Not only culture, but regulations and taxes also effect the ability to create a startup.

Here is an explanation of French law: http://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-its-impossible-to-fire-...

As it says in the first comment, it almost becomes easier to try to get the person to quit with 6 month severance than go through all the hoops that you need to go through to actually fire someone.
I take uber/lyft/whatever other startup is popping up, over a taxi in SF because I've had so many bad experiences in "traditional" taxis here I can honestly no longer give them a chance anymore. Lying about not accepting cards, refusing me because of where I'm going, threatening me when I ask to use a card, threatening me for a tip, taking 2-3 hours to arrive (if even that). At least the alternative actually gets here, and doesn't attempt to drive circles to run up mileage.

I'm not white and I don't care about English, I just want something that isn't trying to scam me: with the startups, I can dispute the charges if any, I have some form of trail in case of problems, and as it's emailed to me they can't just destroy their copy and say nothing happened. None of that exists with a traditional taxi.
There are two series and the episodes all have different stories and concepts, but they are all similarly bleak and dystopian alternate reality pieces.

The episode you're watching now is probably my favourite but the others are fantastic too, especially the one with the memory implants.

As Charlie Brooker (creator) put it himself, these are potential futures if society were to take a couple of steps in the wrong direction.
Yep, this is an interesting pattern in a libertarian (essentially, they are ignoring laws for now) society. They will provide good service and rates until they have a monopoly and can maintain it. Then, they'll abuse the customer until a viable alternative pops up.
It's a morbid subject, but working in home health care I'm shocked by how many people are totally unprepared when it comes to end of life planning.

And it's not just relatively young people or unexpected deaths. Many senior citizens with decent sized estates are totally unprepared or just assume their family will figure it out.

You pass on a lot of additional stress and hardship to your loved ones by not being prepared.

I love the site title btw.
Netflix has very little content and isn't available everywhere.
So, in your mind compilation is what distinguishes a DSL from... something else?
I wrote (non-critical) software for the A400M. I don't think that standards like DO-178B necessarily lead to higher quality code; my experience was that 80-90% of time was spent doing documentation, testing, and in general, trying to prove that the software was going to work right, leaving the engineers with very little time to write the actual software...
How to Make Your Users Awesome: What I Learned from Reading BADASS
This Was Sony Music's Contract with Spotify
Look at it this way:

Throughout history, there have been things that were hard to do: create a picture that looked like a landscape, create a complex piece of music from nothing, give somebody a ride 20 miles to the next town, correspond with somebody halfway around the world.

During this time, it was very common for people to come and pay just for the experience of the event, which was , in some cases, truly magical. Open-air powered carriages? Who wouldn't pay a lot of money to see and ride in one for a few minutes? A room with a few painted landscapes from far-off shores? It's a cultural event.

People and companies paid lots of money to increase the spectacle and social attractiveness of these experiences. Not only could you hear a collection of a dozen stringed instruments play, you could do so in the presence of a duke!

This is exactly where Hollywood is today. They're doing their damnedest to prevent the inevitable slide into commoditization that has occurred with every other art form and experience. The market eliminates inefficiencies. Today I can see pictures of just about anywhere in the world for nothing. I can listen to hundreds of instruments play -- any one of tens of thousands of songs -- for free. I can travel in luxury in a modern vehicle owned by my neighbor, while doing all of these other things, to the nearest town for pennies.

So the question isn't "how do you make these multi-million dollar cultural phenomenons". That's like asking "Who will be the next Beethoven?" Beethoven's dead, and the symphony, while it lives on as a cultural phenomenon, is no longer the primary means of consuming music.

So there's your answer: movies will no longer be the primary means of consuming long-form audio-visual entertainment. They will continue to exist for a long period of time just as the symphony does, and the experience of being with the actors and director for a first showing in a glitzy theater will probably never go away, but the bits and bytes of the thing will have virtually no value at all. Things change. That's just life. Always been like this.

Only Cannonlake will get AVX-512 performance boost. That doubles SIMD processing power. Skylake Xeons will have AVX-512, though.

So having a brand new Broadwell laptop, my next one shall have a Cannonlake (or better) CPU.
And it accepts power from.....a lightning connector. Seems like an expensive way to stand your phone up.
I worked at an avionics contractor for a number of years and that mirrors my experience as well. On Level A projects, the process was at least followed, but it was often under tight stressful deadlines. Testing was frequently off-shored to save money, but often resulted in low quality tests that had to be reworked at the last minute by in-house engineers.

The state on a later Level C & D project was in worse shape: bloated architecture, lots of requirements churn, little to no peer review, one unrealistic deadline after another, and mandatory overtime for large periods. It was not an environment conducive to thoughtfulness or quality. I finally got fed up and quit.
It's a good piece, and Dijkstra's views on this remain relevant, even if the whole thing is ultimately an exercise in trying to build an ornate analogy that will somehow survive translation to other realms. Anyone who has been in software long enough to have tried to explain it to someone who isn't in software has had to go through the same basic process. That in itself ought to be somewhat enlightening. In any event, the article is worth the read if only for this:

>> How do we convince people that in programming simplicity and clarity —in short: what mathematicians call "elegance"— are not a dispensable luxury, but a crucial matter that decides between success and failure?

I understood your question as a description of this situation: the combination of you/someone having a constant desire for "more money" and the other party turning you down by default.

That sounded like a sad cooperation to me.

For you/someone: the other party is never interested in an constructive cooperation/dialogue. For the other party: you/someone sees the work itself as second (or less).

But as I now read you enjoy it by itself, I misunderstood.

I think they should have 'burned the boats' and gone all in with USB-C on everything they have updated so far (I.e. MBP 13/15, iMac). Throw a solitary adapter in the box, charge a nice Apple margin on additional ones.
Microsoft Band SDK Release and Band Studio Introduction
Several years ago there was a big DSL hype which - more or less - faded away. It is very hard to construct a DSL and once established it is cast in stone. In contrast, APIs are much simpler and more flexible.

So if you bought a battery and never visited a Radio Shack store or website again, you would not - in fact - have made any express or implied agreement to accept the modification, and the original agreement would apply.

Exactly my thoughts. JS torrent clients are dangerous.

There was a case in Germany recently where thousands of internet users got cease-and-desist letters and were asked to pay a fine based on an ad-injection. The people behind it made hundreds of thousands and ran off with the money.

On the other hand: If malicious driveby torrenting happens regularly, it will be harder to fine people for it, because it gives them a good excuse.
This isn't actually a new problem though!

After all, what if the JavaScript on a website makes an AJAX request to fetch illegal content and store it in your HTML5 LocalStorage?

Bam, you are now a criminal in possession of illegal content of some sort.
Dijkstra did a lot more for moving the programming needle than Mark Zuckerberg. Sure, Mark made more money, but that's not the only yardstick by which we measure achievement (fortunately!).

Pretty sure NVIDIA has done the same on occasion, for example the 800m GTX series, doesn't have an 800 GTX desktop counterpart.
Many of the 800m cards used the same chips as 700m series, just with small changes.
Apparently they were originally planning on releasing Maxwell as 800 series, but due to Laptop manufacturer pressure ended up deferring it after releasing Kepler 800m cards.
Thanks... I somehow missed the check constraint ability, which addresses the malformed data issue.
I didn't see this covered under the will section but do talk to important people in your life while you are making your will. Nothing in your will should be a surprise to those that are involved in your estate after you die.

If you are leaving a large asset (money, house, investments, a 500 foot yacht in the Bahamas you never told anyone about) then the person getting it should know before hand.

If you have kids you need to discuss what happens to them, who takes care of them etc. This is a careful balance of the burden you put on family and friends and the well being of you children with the balance favoring your kids.

The most important thing is that you have these discussions and then document them in a will. Do not just fill out an online form, have it notarized and filed in a safe deposit box to be unearthed when you meet your end, timely or otherwise.

The process of creating a will like this can be a catalyst to re-prioritize your life and what is important to you and your family.

But of course, it doesn't have to be. As this site mentions, get your shit together! It's better to have a boilerplate will squirreled away somewhere that no one but your lawyer knows about than none at all.
In the politest way possible, it is the former. :-)

"Fostering a X culture" is a common phrase outside of the EC.
Movie studios have the least exposure to piracy risk other than online multiplayer games and console games.

You can't get a good copy of a movie until DVDs and brs are released. Cams and TSs are terrible.

If something like popcorn time went mainstream they would just stop releasing disc media and downloads until well after the theatre stopped playing.

TV is the industry that should be worried. If popcorn time goes mainstream we'll never see high budget cable content ever again. Just 100% low budget sitcoms, soap operas and reality TV. But not with constant in show advertising that scenesters can't edit out.
Great site. This has given me the inspiration to finally get this done.

>>Take a look at Capybara’s DSL. Capybara is a library for interacting with a browser from code. It works hard to make the code read like English.

I think this line lead to believe so , but reading on...

>>But emulating the English language—complete with nouns, verbs, and prepositions—is simply the language of the domain, not a truly domain-specific language

And this one too :

>>A key difference between using the language of the domain and a domain-specific language is that a true DSL—notation—is not only suited for expressing problems and solutions, but also for getting from one to the other.

Basically he wants to state about notational convenience,degree of expressiveness and ease of notational operations with the math example.This ease of operation leads to better formal verification and better spec translation.He then goes onto talk about notations used in Music etc..

One of the better pieces of financial advice I ever got from a mentor was: if you have a business or are self employed, get disability insurance.

sorry, but i cannot agree that someone may decide to go with clojure or scala based on the fact that one has type inference while the other not. Specially when you already have approaches to have type inference on clojure http://typedclojure.org/. Both languages have so much different concepts and ideologies on how to solve problems. To me it is much more about the mindset that each requires you to apply while solving a problem.

Coding, indexing, and mirroring AOL progs actually changed my life. I got expelled in 8th grade due to my school's network admin claiming I was hacking the Apple school network using Win32 VB AOL tools (?!), which kick-started a series of more run-ins with future school administrators, made my mother so depressed she couldn't get out of bed, and eventually led to me quitting school altogether. I didn't think of AOL as the spark that led to all this until just now.

It definitely had a way of instilling a sort of wonder about what was "behind" all those windows, what was possible, and whether you could get it to do something it wasn't supposed to. Punters were the weirdest thing about AOL, because they could have easily fixed them but seemingly never did. If it stopped working in a new version, a simple modification would make it work again.
