Your second sentence doesn't capture what is being said, not at all. It wouldn't contribute significantly to the amount of tritium that is naturally in the oceans (here's a dismissive comparison: it isn't even the sort of waste you would bother with a dumpster for), and it would dissipate in ~100 years.

I thought the same thing... first world problems in its essence.
What I've noticed when it comes to programming is that after a while, almost everything is a reinvention of the old stuff. Programming languages? Bah! Just same old stuff, if you are already well versed in something, then you are not phased by the new stuff, no new paradigms.

Then the annoying time it takes to setup frameworks and do the simplest things! IDEs? meh! Especially if you are super comfortable with your vi or Emacs.

So what do you do? Pick up a book with lots of examples, don't think too much about it. Just type in the damn examples like a zombie, breeze through the chapters, by the time you are half way you will start getting into the book, don't forget to modify the examples to your own taste as you learn.
> Overlapping windows is what makes mouse based interaction fast.

How does the overlappingness make anything faster? If anything it becomes slower, because you need to move windows out of the way, or select them before you can get to the covered part.

> Not everybody wants to use keyboard all the time

In no way necessary. I don't think the WWDC splitscreen demo used keyboard shortcuts at all?

> it is useful to have more than two windows on screen at a time.

Having more than one window on the screen is also not helped by the windows overlapping. I regularly have 2-4 windows side-by-side on the same screen at once without overlapping, and multiple such screens and fullscreen windows on virtual desktops.
I'm an Iranian too.
It's good that a Wikipedia entry is made to explain it (I have explained it to my western friends multiple times in the past, now I can refer them to this entry)
I should also stress that Taarof in tiny doses is not bad, but when you have to face it every day in different scenarios, it becomes a recurring hassle.

Talkdesk Announces $15M Series A
> is mostly safe

It isn't. Any power generation method that requires human staff will have deaths due to installation and operations accidents.

Solar is right up there in terms of number of deaths because installation is labour intensive compared to the energy output vs. nuclear.

Maybe that would change if we favoured larger plants over rooftop installations, but at the moment if we replaced all nuclear with solar, the number of deaths would increase significantly.

> A friend of mine comes from Iran, and the first time he went to a school meeting (his son was in the first or second grade) they offered sandwiches. He was extremely hungry, but stressed out, so he forgot that he was in a different culture. When they offered him a sandwich he politely turned them down, expecting them to try two more times.

I've heard the same story, only it was a Spaniard in Germany. She was left wanting for beer.
> It's pretty obvious things have moved on massively since the 80s.

Not that obvious for me. I cannot see any significant changes. Mind giving some examples?

> especially since the guy's asking for help

He's asking for motivation, not for help. And it should be good to know that he do not need to learn much, everything is pretty much the same as it used to be, just presented slightly differently. New terminology can be learned in a couple of days.

And this is the false perception that things have changed and there is a lot to learn that made the OP feel powerless. You're not helping him by reiterating the bullshit that have scared him in the first place.

People don't generally spend $60k on a watch to impress watch connoisseurs, but to impress people who know nothing about watches. The reason Rolex is so popular is not really because they are great watches (they are), but because everybody knows that Rolexes are expensive.

Well, ask anyone how they think Iranians are (as long as they know some in person) and almost always they will tell you something along the lines of "Wow, they are so extremely nice, so polite and generous". But this is, to some extend, a facade . The more you get to really know Iranians, you understand that they too can be really mean to others, have their fights, say bad things. They just do it in other, more indirect and complicated to understand ways. And Iran is a country 100% operating on Taarof so you need a lot of context to read the meaning of words. For example, once in Shiraz I was offered some icecream by friends of the family and I was like "Yes, sure!". Until this day, they laugh about it, because such directly accepting things is uncommon there (and while otherwise aware of the customs, the possibility of getting some icecream broke my barriers...). They think it's funny when Westeners are direct like that because they, too, watch TV and know our way of life. But if I had been Iranian, my reaction would have been unacceptable unpolite. Along the lines of taarof, many misunderstandings occur that can lead to bad blood in the end without anybody really wanting it in the first place. There is no room for criticism, so things are not talked about and never sorted out.
Not happening here on Firefox for android. Maybe a web font issue of some sort?
I wonder if it is more a phrasing issue in American polls. I live in a small, rural, Southern town. I've had a few conversations, as well as watching American media. I think the term climate change or global warming means man-made warming in most people's head. Many people I've seen pressed on the issue, even by gentle conversation show this conflation. The deniers tend to be people saying, even through a veil, "I don't think man has everything to do with it".

Oddly, in the back of many people's head that I've spoken with is the Cambrian period. They have a vague remembrance that Earth was hotter and more swap like. Since there were no men then, it is possible for the planet to heat up on its own. They latch onto this thought and back their view that modern peoples can't be causing this much damage.
Really cool - would be good to have a quick instructions drop down - I started with clicking things and hitting keys until I realised it was a simulation on initial conditions only.

The bombers seem too effective in anti-fighter measures, and has been said, the sats are very effective at anti-ICBM, but seem invincible themselves?

Interesting how quickly the tide turns from stalemate to dominance once a few factories or bases fall. And also how long it takes to really finish the opponent off (probably my launch_max is too low).

Also interesting the 'fronts' or lines of bombers that form between oppositions. This happens in naval and ground battle, but I'd think a major air war, with high speed relative to density of fighters would avoid this?

Would be cool to involve some sort of strategic element? I'd hoped the fighters would protect the bombers more, but it seems they are more defensive?

Well done!

I identify with the part about commenting to yourself in the code, at least to yourself 2 years from now. Obviously the comments should be for anyone but it is a good work practice to comment on why you did something or how a piece of code relates to the overall program.

Chances are if you wrote it, you'll be fixing bugs for it so help yourself out. You won't have the context you currently have when you open that code up in a couple years, so put some context in the comments.
VMWare Fusion is, in my experience, everything but horrible for battery life. I frequently spin up VMs with Vagrant, do something with them and then switch to other tasks. More often than not, I forget to shut them off, mostly because their impact on the battery life is so minimal that I don't notice them until I run `vagrant global-status`.

In most of America, we don't have a ridid class system.

At least where I grew up, how much money you had, and what clothes you wore meant absolutely nothing. In fact, it often worked against you if you happened to have rich parents--the whole spolied rich kid thing.

As adults, I guess Americans start to stereotype, but we don't have hard and fast demarcations between low class and upper class.

I'm not saying Americans aren't racists, but the whole class thing was never a big deal where I grew up, or I didn't notice it?

I have noticed a bit of a change lately, but it's still not a ridid system.

I have never heard a guy talk about the economic class a women fits into--Never! They find that special person and will do anything to win them over. In other words, they find that person they find Perfect, and want a relationship--period. (The're usually rejected, but that's another topic.) I have seen women judge people on how much money they come from, but it's not as strong as in other countries, and it usually/always comes from jealousy. Yes, looks do matter. It's a commodity, especially when you are younger. How much money you have doesn't come into the picture until later in life, but that's for men. A pretty, caring female is not judged on how much money she makes. In a lot of circles, it might even work against her? Some of you will call me a sexist over that statement, but it's just something I have noticed. A rich guy who looks/acts like Donald Trump will get his pick. A rich women does not get the same perks. Yes--it's wrong, but I can care less over the happiness of the wealthy. (There I go, I am using wealthy as a demarcation of class? Yes, in American we do talk about the wealthy, and 1 percenter's, but we don't associated it with class, morals, manners, or intelligence. (Donald Trump is a perfect example of a "upper class" person in America. It just doesn't work?)

Over the years, I have sat watched movies/series about the upper classes(usually in Great Britain), and always found them hilarious. I know it's because we don't have a monarchy--thank goodness--personally I couldn't stomach all that pomposity, and family lineage b.s..

(This is coming from a 40 someting, who's always lived in liberal communities.) I don't want to argue--I never even come back to posts. I hope I didn't offend anyone concerning their perceived class?)
To be honest, I don't really understand what "unclamped" means in this context.

My background is in embedded telephony. I've worked on many systems that are single threaded because you have real time constraints. You have to make sure that your bit of work finishes in a certain amount of time and then you yield to the next bit of work. You could imagine that it would be very strange if a telephone switch handled connecting one call, but before it could connect another call it would have to "rest" for 15 ms.

The Javascript event loop is really just the reactor pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactor_pattern

There are many, many useful ways to use the reactor pattern. In fact, I have often used it in preference of threads in GUI applications because it gives you very fine grained control over how much responsiveness you want in the UI. As long as you yield every X ms, it means that the user only has to wait X ms for a response to their actions. You can also prioritise work easily. With threads, you are at the mercy of the task scheduler and so you might have very uneven response times.

In the same way, I want to be able to program things that run continuously in JS but not have to give up the responsiveness in the browser (or other IO events). Like the original author, imagine that you are sorting thousands of records and it will take 3 seconds. You don't want to hang the browser for 3 seconds because maybe they want to click the "cancel" button. So you yield every 50 ms. But if you have something like a 15 ms wait time every time you yield, your 3 second task is going to take 4 seconds... for no reason at all.

So what I want is to be able to yield, have the system check for events and if there aren't any, resume as quickly as possible. Obviously there will be some overhead. But sticking a timer on it and saying, "I'm just going to take a brief nap" really sucks.

The problem I'm noticing is that some people think that there should be no delay at all. As soon as schedule a callback, it should run. This is not desirable at all. Again, the whole point is to yield to events and then come back. I just don't want to wait longer that it is necessary to do that.

To sum up, it's not that I want to use 100% CPU all the time, but if it is impossible to do, then it is broken. Similarly, if I am using 100% of the CPU and yielding every X ms, then then events should be handled every X ms (modulus the amount of time the event handler takes).
The filters are based on Meta. We support types in Meta (string, number, date, users).

Meta can also be placed in content to flow with text.

"Computing ... as an intrinsic capability of objects" - I'd call this the basic misconception of OOP.
I am going to start working soon. This makes me think if full-time work is really worth it. Wouldn't multiple short-term contracts with regular breaks be able to cut it in today's world? Isn't there people with experience on working on short-term contracts and still living well-off?
This is interesting mostly because it echoes my feelings of dissonance with the employers I've worked for.

My conclusion was that I needed to be more in tune with the/a business that I'm ultimately trying to serve, and therefore to be closer too it. Because until then it all seems like pointless bit shifting.
That's really great! I had to rebuy VMware at work and Parallels at home when Yosemite came out because of the new hypervisor framework modifications that these two needed under Yosemite (I presume).

I don't really use the OSX integration of both systems, other than file mapping/sharing (I run Linux and Windows VMs).

Glad to see this, many thanks!
The earth is bountiful enough for a person to live off it without working (hunter-gatherer). Is it her fault that she was born at a time when all land and productive capacity has been appropriated by those who came before?

If that's the issue, there is a simple solution. We can provide hunter/gatherer levels of subsistence for anyone who wants it in some roped off, undeveloped land. Anyone who wants latrines, heating, clean water, textiles or metal still needs a job in the modern world.

This will cost essentially nothing and will allow people to live as hunter gatherers. Somehow I suspect this isn't quite what you had in mind.

The Fallen of World War II - Data-driven documentary about war & peace
Honestly, i don't mind the window focusing on mac. What I absolutely fucking hate though, is working on Windows and not being able to scroll on a window that's not active. By default on Mac, if a window's focused, you can scroll another (unfocused) window by scrolling when you mouse is over it. Without having to refocus windows, which is really nice when you're typing something on the focused window.

As for the cmd button replacing the ctrl button. Never going back to ctrl+<key> for shortcuts. The command button is so much nicer to use, it's your thumb vs you pinky. You don't need to stretch you pinky/move you hand slightly to have access to shortcuts and that's so nice. VERY desturbing at first (I hated it), but never going back. Or maybe I've just gotten used to using my thumb. Ultimately, I think it makes a lot more sense though. No more alt-F4 to close windows, its cmd+Q, no more ctrl+B to bold a text, it's cmd+b, cmd+h minimizes/hides your window etc etc.

Also, what i found infinitely annoying at first and that I really like now on Mac, is the window switching with the keyboard. On Windows, alt+tab switches between all windows (including different instances of same program). on Mac, alt+tab switches between applications and alt+` switches between different instances of a said program. I find that more elegant when you have a lot of windows opened, which i always have.

But all these are tiny little things that add up to something really nice to use, but each individually don't and will never justify OS X being the best OS in the world blah blah. You can probably achieve a similar behavior on windows/Linux/whatever. What's nice about it though is that it's the default setup, no third party app needed/config files. You install it and it makes sense. That's why I'm not switching from OS X anytime soon, it's ergonomic, the UI is sick, power user features everywhere, and a real unix. I see it as a linux that works perfectly out of the box. I remember the first month I spent on OS X (coming from 4 years of linux, 2 yr Ubuntu and 2 yr Arch, using both full desktop env (KDE mostly) and lightweigth window managers), everything works and works well and everything is ergonomic and makes sense. Put simply, a Mac never (or very rarely) gets in the way of your work. And that makes a big difference.

But then, I just like Macs because of how I use my computer. I get it that some might prefer a Linux or Windows, and I respect that. I'm just extremely thankful OS X answers exactly what I expect from a computer.
"The once homogenous population has been forever altered by a rapid and massive addition of people from vastly different cultures and value-systems. 26,8% of the population is now foreign-born or with at least one foreign-born parent, and the national census bureau estimates that some 150 000 per year will arrive to the country of just 9,8 million residents.

There simply is no possible way to absorb and assimilate such volumes of people, period. Then you are merely creating ethnic enclaves, which due to incompatible language, culture and job skills become ghettos, which in turns brews crime, misery and extremism. Once the inflow has exceeded the capacity for absorbtion, further immigration only makes the problem worse. "

That's why I moved out of core tech and became a librarian (which is still pretty tech) in a more regional city. Lower wages but slightly more affordable houses mean I might still have a chance at giving my kids a mortgage one day..

I would not consider them B2C. They are running businesses.

With large businesses and government, employees "aren't spending their own money" - spending a few thousand dollars isn't going to stop them going on holiday, saving a few thousand dollars isn't going to give them an extra holiday. So there's a school of thought that says such customers are price-insensitive, and you should charge them a bunch because why not?

With small businesses and sole traders, they tend to behave more like consumers in terms of wanting value for money. After all, saving $100 means they'll have $100 minus tax in their pocket.

Well done for being paid handsomely! I think we are deluding ourselves if we think anything really new is coming along. A lot of the development on microcomputers and mobiles is just rehashing the client/server model of the 70s, but with different technologies every 5 years. Web apps are just the database interfaces of the 90s, and layers over CRUD. They are just more accessible.

I think if we realise this and become comfortable with it, it'd be good for income (if perhaps not soul destroying creatively).
