The first time I tried Linux on my desktop was in ~ 1998, I believe it was Mandrake and the terminal had all of these "improvements".
You're right it takes more thinking in order to learn vim or any set of key bindings. Vim has taught me that you are able to "speak", by typing, a language related to editing text. You are severely limiting your self in your efficiency of editing if you choose to ignore your ability to define macros/modes/whatever in a powerful text editor.

I use emacs now with a highly configured set of key bindings, and you're right it's taken me a lot of time. You're comment makes me think there are two types of programmers, those in the "don't make me think" school and those who spend an insane amount of time in one of the big editors, i.e vim/emacs/sublime. To make a gross example of the deficiencies of each, the "don't make me think" school are the people who would manually enumerate function calls instead of learning what a for loop is, while the crazy emacs hackers are the type to spend more time fine-tuning their config than actually working.
I would say "Tell me more about that guy".
The error bounds shown in the figure labeled "The Problem With Prophecy" are almost comically narrow. DTRA is very familiar with propagating uncertainty in their software. It's hard to imagine they weren't aware of how shaky these predictions were likely to be.

Yet DTRA is also very familiar with the need to base decisions on the best information available at the time the decision has to be made. It's hard to imagine they weren't happy to have even shaky predictions at their disposal.

These guys live in a very different world to most of us. At one point my research group was developing rules of thumb for first responders in the event of a release of a chemical/biological agent in or near a building. We vacillated on certain aspects of the advice, because no matter what guidelines we proposed, we could always think of a scenario in which that was the worst possible thing for a first responder to do.

Our indecision finally got broken when a group member talked to a professional trainer of police. He flat-out stated (in paraphrase) "You don't have to be right 100% of the time. If you are right 51% of the time, that's better than having the guys on the ground making things up as they go along."
It's not necessary for the distributions to be normal for this approach to be relevant. A lot of the (very powerful) Gaussian machinery for e.g. graphical models, can still be rigorously applied to a many non-normal distributions by using the Nonparanormal transform:

Not, knee jerk, carefully planned years ahead, just like 9/11.

Communism has a tendency to require greater levels of force in order to maintain state control.

And the the numbers financially are just getting too lopsided to maintain the uneven consumption for much longer. China will start to get a much larger share, and the bankers will have to go along with it, because of basic realities of math.

So the global military and economic control will shift to China, but before/during/after the primary economic model in places like the US will have to shift.

This means some people will have violent disagreements with the new control structure. So they are trying to lay the groundwork for a carefully monitored and controlled population now. Part of that is conditioning to not expect privacy, which is one main function of the TSA.

This is not a new situation or process really.
If you read the TSA blog you see they catch about 20 to 30 handguns per month.

So does that mean that they don't catch about 400 handguns a month?

How many people have been injured by a handgun on a plane or in an airport in the past 20 years?

This is absolutely a contrived example. $index is the equivalent to `var ctrl = angular.controller`, something that serves very well to communicate basic concepts but that you would never use in a real-world application. If you're dealing with server side data, your model should have a real unique key/id, and that is what you track by.

Transport Canada proposes amendments to sUAV regulations
takes deep breath

Mostly, people have learned that is bad press, but the national guard were called into Baltimore what seems like days ago to stop black people from protesting the war waged against them.

Labor Day is an artificial holiday, while May Day, a holiday created by the American Labor Movement, is celebrated in basically every other country in the world.

If you're going to read about union history, really read about union history. Do you know anyone who is a union organizer? Buy them a shot and a beer and listen up. ;)
Corindus Vascular Robotics raises $42M
I agree, and I think a large part of this is that people aren't taught one of the most important things in life... how contracts work. I took a business law class that really helped me understand it, and I really berated myself for some of the things I signed in the past in retrospect because I understood finally that a contract is between two parties and you DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN ANYTHING YOU DON'T AGREE TO! Of course you might not get the job, but if they're the kind of people to not let you make any changes to a contract I don't know if I would want to work for them in the first place.

After spending my time in the Marine Corps, where I was basically a slave, I know I will never allow anyone to take advantage of me that much, as I have too much self respect and realize the difference in the contracts.

My tactic is this: I imagine what would a CEO of a fortune 100 do during the employment process? It really makes a difference in how you negotiate things. Also, never forget the power of a good negotiation. (eg: schedule extended time off starting the day of an annual review, and the last thing in the review say you will not be coming back unless some reasonable balance of your demands is made.) The more you value yourself the more others will be willing to value you for too.

You clearly have no idea how Pre works.

You don't just pay money and get a pass. There's a significant background check involved which, I suspect, does more to enhance security than some millimeter wave scanner in the security line.
The Public Library and the Web
Getting laid off sucks. And though it in no way lessens the suck for you, it also sucks for the people doing the layoffs...and since having to lay people off can be an admission of potential failure of the company, laying people off can profoundly suck. There's no "they had to do it to me" for an owner laying off staff. The owner is the doer-it-toer.

Imagine Friday morning, the Owner got the financials, made a decision, and laid people off in the afternoon. Or maybe they got the financials on Monday, couldn't close a deal all week, wrote paychecks and on Friday did what they had been dreading and trying to prevent all week [or month or year].

It's hard enough to be transparent with oneself, we all know that most startups fail. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Good luck.

I'm looking for entry-level or junior dev work and a career change from a civil engineering background. While I'm a generalist into both front and backend and will happily accept work on either end, I am most interested in DevOps and backend. I'm comfortable on the CLI and with vim, tmux, git, ssh, etc. I also have some sysadmin experience.
Excellent soft skills, and I'm easily in the 99th percentile of English fluency and written communication. If you need good documentation, technical writing, or even web copy, I can definitely help you with that if you're willing to carve out time for me in exchange for helping me improve my programming chops and technical development. Shoot me a message—I'm hungry to level up.

I disable JS. Makes the web much nicer. For the occasional broken site that requires it to render text, hit CTRL-SHIFT-s (using surf) to enable it until that tab (using tabbed) is closed.
I bet I could get a bottle of water through if I were attempting to evade detection.
I'd like to take this moment to point out that Mozilla is a community, and not a company. The community called "Mozilla" is supported by the Mozilla Foundation, which as a foundation and not a company, can actually hold goals other than "money for the sake of money". The Foundation also controls 100% interest in the Mozilla Corporation, which means that it's not beholden to any interests other than the Foundation's and so it can stay pure.

I'm not sure how to keep a company pure short of controlling 100% interest, and I'm increasingly thinking that there is no way to do it. As soon as you let external shareholders in, you are beholden to their ideas of what the company should be doing. And the vast majority of the time, that thing is making "money for the sake of money", because that's the only reason the shareholders are putting up their capital in the first place.
enet looks quite interesting. The small, C code base is nice and the API looks clean. Thanks for linking it.

I found this issue which looks related to your problem: https://github.com/lsalzman/enet/issues/23

An issue there describes a hack (sending a packet to your own socket to wake up enet_host_service). Not a terrible hack and much like the "self-pipe" trick.

That's what I find most amusing about people who don't get what's going on. Employment is a relationship, if there has been significant back-stabbing, lying, deception, deceit, fraud, abuse, exploitation, etc. then people will simply not extend trust. The trust relationship of American corporations is almost irreparably shattered and destroyed. Not least due to corporate policies, but also due to baby boomer "leadership" that exhibits very little more than incompetence and project the entitled, spoiled lives they were allowed to lead.

I have my own difficulties overcoming that perception that people hold, but I see it everywhere. Unfortunately, people are also getting fooled by the sham benefits, concern, and care that the likes of the big corporate tech companies like facebook exhibit. Employees are lulled into thinking that the corporation is young and dynamic so it must "get it", but there is still a stone cold corporation behind it all that will slit the throat of your newborn if they need to. Just look at the rise of facebook, it's just the same kind of sleazy, deceptive, conniving, heinous corporation as any other; maybe even worse, considering they are complicit in the greatest threat to human liberties and freedom humanity has ever witnessed.

You don't have to have nude photos taken. You can ask to "opt out" (that's the key phrase, the TSA clowns know what it means), and they will take you aside and pat you down by hand.

I do it because it takes longer. If everyone opted out, the lines would become so ridiculously long that they'd have to change their system. I'm doing my part.
"quite literally laid down their lives for workers rights."

Too many people don't know about this or don't care, and I largely blame the educational system. When is that last time you heard about J D Rockefeller and the Ludlow massacre in school? Oh yeah, that's right, never.
The kind of ignorance going into the title is baffling. They picked some guy who saw a gain of 27% across 5 positions, for perhaps a few years at the most, and think he's the Warren Buffet next door.

I would bet most of those handguns are from idiots who forgot they were carrying it or knew they had it but forgot that they needed to move it to their checked bag and declare it.

Someone sneaking it through the x-ray machine would probably try harder to pack it in a way that makes it less obvious.
Sorry, this is vague because it's liable to change. Currently we are in Portola Valley. Within a few months or so, we're likely to relocate slightly -- possibly to Redwood City, but possibly elsewhere. We'll definitely be staying min-Peninsula, likely near Caltrain.

On the subject of commuting, we're open to telecommuting one or two days per week. I'd be happy to discuss further.
I think the number of tabs has nothing to do with it, frankly; different people work in different ways. I've known great devs with either behaviour.
