As a complete newcomer to OpenGL, my first thought was "where's the WebGL column?"

Now, that makes probably no sense; can someone clarify what these versions mean (apart from API availability described by this table, obviously), and if there's a relationship to the WebGL subset (it is a subset, right?).

For those who really want to get into HDL stuff but are put off by the weird syntax, I highly suggesting taking a look at MyHDL[0]. It's a very nice Python lib with good docs and active development. I actually implemented a CPU in it. It can output to VHDL and Verilog and can even generate simple structures for you.

There is no disagreement, that is what I said.

Mental state is perception, and this can change from one moment to the next but the excitement/ fear being a hormonal state takes time to subside.
Star Control II is the game with most developed story that I have ever played. And yes, I have played Fallout too :)

Playing it, even with a walkthrough, is like watching a whole set of seasons of Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica.

So trying out UQM (open-source port) is a must.
It also has quite good two player fighting mode.

Sigh. The plural of anecdote is not data, rodent studies are useful but only relevant for designing proper human studies (not replacing them), and any aging "study" that works with a few dozen subjects over a few months is not science but marketing.

And, like it or not, this is one of the main reasons that certifications matter at some job positions. If I have two candidates that are equal in every way except candidate A is more creative but candidate B has the XYZ certification, which one am I going to be better prepared to defend when pushed?
You can turn off disk persistence in Redis. My main usage of Redis is with disk persistence turned off (it handles a few hours worth of samples of data that we don't care if we lose - we care about having long term averages only of the data in question).

There should be minimal overhead from having the capability in Redis due to the way it implements disk snapshots (RDB snapshots are done by fork()'ing and relying on copy on write to let the main process keep on doing its thing while the child process writes the snapshot, so the main process doesn't need to care; other than that Redis offers logging/journalling of changes, but the cost of having that as an option is trivial if it's switched off).

Having pluggable backends for things like Postgres or DynamoDB seems a bit at odds with the purpose of Redis, which is exactly that you pay the (very low) cost of in-memory manipulation of simple data structures, though if a single Redis server could partition the key space between plugins, it might potentially be useful by letting you e.g. move keys between backends and still access them transparently to the client. E.g. for the samples I mentioned above, we roll up and transfer data to a CouchDB instance for archival now (doesn't matter that it's CouchDB really - we just need a persistent key-value store; Postgres or DynamoDB would also both have worked fine), but if I could archive them while still having them visible in a Redis-like server together with the in-memory keys, that'd make the client a tiny bit simpler.

For most Redis usage, I think paying the cost of connection setup and teardown and sending HTTP headers etc. would likely slow things down immensely. At least it would for my usage. Having a HTTP interface as an addition might be useful in some scenarios to enable new use cases, but as a replacement for the current Redis API would be a disaster.

If you want to explore alternative interfaces, I'd instead suggest going in the opposite direction, and experimenting with a UDP interface. In a typical data centre setting packet loss is low enough that while you'd need retry logic, it wouldn't necessarily get exercised much in normal situations.

(On the other hand, for the typical request/reply cycle it might very well not give any benefits vs. tcp in most scenarios where multiple request/replies are done over a single connection and thus amortising the connection setup cost - would be interesting to benchmark, though)
In the graphic it reads, "Twenty-three of these languages are a mother tongue for more than 50 million people. The 23 languages make up the native tongue of 4.1 billion people."

wtf? What's the difference between mother tongue and native tongue? Both terms redirect to "first language" on Wikipedia, or what linguists refer to as "L1".

edit: Oh! The sentence was meant to be parsed that it was more than 50 million speakers per each of the 23 languages, not more than 50 million for the whole 23 languages combined. Man that was difficult for me to parse. I thought it was trying to say something about the difference between mother and native tongues.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - a short course of between 6 to 14 hours (one hour per week). Find a reputable therapist (in England you'd look for BACP).

Microport used to advertise that its SystemV port supported Berkeley Job Control. I got a lot of complaints about that while working tech support.

"No, we don't support job control. I don't know that we ever plan to."

"Look at your own magazine ad," a user finally pointed out.

I showed a copy of our ad in a trade rag to our marketing guy. "We don't support that."

"Oh, ok," he replied, then used an exacto knife to remove it from his master copy of the ad layout.
No, it's almost impossible without being a jerk. This personality trait is a requirement for succeeding.

And it's mostly because of the way capitalism works. Once you enter the market, you're automatically forced to turn a profit or get investments. If you don't, you die. Competition is also pretty fierce. You may choose to play by the rules, but others choose not to. So you can easily get killed.

Customers also become your worst enemy. They are forced by the market to buy cheap instead of good. So you're now in a race to the bottom. Plus, the entire market is volatile. Things can change almost instantly. One well targeted review or article can either make you or break you.

So when your entire success is built on a tower of cards, only by being ruthless can you make the climb. We could have had megabit internet 30 years ago. But instead we got AOL and Comcast. People can spin it any way they like. But in the end, actions talk louder than words.
I was annoyed the article didn't actually say what the diet was. Anyway from the Telegraph report of the same story:

Day one of the diet comprises:

10 per cent protein, 56 per cent fat and 34 per cent carbohydrate, making 1,090 calories

Days two to five:

Nine per cent protein, 44 per cent fat and 47 per cent carbohydrate making 725 calories
Yeah, I dislike "isolated demands for rigor" as much as the next guy, but... no. Just no. There are tons of peer reviewed studies on interviewing. In particular, there are tons of studies on measuring IQ, which is the best known predictor of job performance for a wide variety of jobs. (Yes, better than work sample tests or anything else you might name in five minutes.) See Schmidt & Hunter 1998 for a pretty good meta-analysis. That's the standard I'd like to see when we talk about measuring creativity.

I agree. I don't understand how he finds the patience to calmly explain his position to this mob. Kind of pointless though, sjws have never been convinced by logic and arguments. I sometimes wonder if they actually realize how close their methods are from the ones that were used in Soviet Russia.
> I just don't get how someone could have at any point said "yes, this is a good path, we should continue with this" for all these custom build systems in the wild on these projects.

I guess nobody ever said that. What people most likely were saying was: "This is a mess, but the expected costs of continuing this path will probably not be greater than the expected costs of changing course".

Note that there's a double "expected" in there. Making decisions under uncertainty is hard. On the other hand, taking a look from the outside and replacing every "expected costs" with whatever turned out to be the case is easy.
I guess they are the same and this choice of different terms was purely aesthetic.
Each of these companies direly needs investigation.

The alternative is to let each of them get away with anti-competitive practices and privacy violations.

The US tech industry is obviously leagues ahead of anywhere else in the world but it has brought some seriously shady anti-consumer goings on with it.

In a toss up between adequate consumer protection and a heavily pro-corporate economy I'd side with the consumer every time and take the industry hit.

Fortunately it's not a zero-sum game but the US is frighteningly lax on consumer protections in my view and it's festishisation of everything 'business' just leads to worsening standards for everybody.

A lot of this has been brought up as a point of debate in the Eurpean TTIP opposition, specifically the US trying to push it's much lower standards on Europe to the detriment of the average citizen and the benefit of big business.

Go and Rust have different purposes. You can think of Go as a leaner Java/C#. And Rust as a safer C/C++. Despite both Go and Rust are labeled as "system programming languages" by some, there are different understandings what "system" exactly means in that context.
Instead of focussing on the abstract "state", why not recognize that almost every eligible voter in America decided what the state should do by voting either democrat, republican or nothing.

It's not possible to have more solid and strict structure than with macro-based DSLs.

You do. Either macros or interpreters. There is no other way.

You did not describe your approach to a problem yet. How would you implement an optimising BNF-based eDSL without macros? Spir and similar things are a totally different topic.

> But most of us consider generics to be different from macros.

Most people have absolutely no idea what metaprogramming is and how to implement DSLs properly. I would not refer to an opinion of a crowd.
Minions ipsum
From experience bulking and cutting during 10+ years of power lifting, it's fairly hard to lose muscle during short term low calorie diets. It will appear as if you lose muscle as you will flush fluids out of your muscles very early on, and unless you're very lean to start with it's not obvious that this isn't muscle loss.

You will also often appear to be weaker - e.g. I don't hit my 1 rep max when I'm not on a protein heavy diet with a calorie surplus. If I ate badly the day before exercise, I simply do not manage to push myself to my limits. There's no way I've then lost muscle to cause that (if I had, I wouldn't be back to normal next workout with a stricter diet). When I'm cutting that effect is much stronger.

Couple fluid loss and feeling weaker, and it's natural that people assume they've lost lots of muscle, but it takes quite a while or quite extreme deficits before you actually lose enough to notice.

(Even then, training back up again is much easier than the first time)
> Having said that, I certainly hope that this does not become some sort of thing that people spend a lot of time worrying about, enforcing, or baby sitting others.

If that is the case, then that precisely proves the usefulness of such a code.

> if someone says they'll attend and cancels, we email them and let them know that we have a three strike cancellation policy. it's not fair to others when they cancel and we have a low tolerance for that.

FWIW, this might be counter to your target audience. People who sign up for a service like this will be more likely to present with some form of social anxiety that has inhibited them from socializing normally in the first place. Certainly not everyone, but certainly not no one either. Trying to respond with a heavy hand to such people will only alienate them further; try responding with compassion and understanding and above all else respect. saying you have "low tolerance" for that basically means you have low tolerance for people's quirks and flaws. Attending might be a struggle for some people.

Also, you don't need to mention names or faces; but you could mention some interests that each person has that you would be going to dinner with.

> God: science has contributed no new knowledge.

God is a myth/legend. There is no knowledge.

> Bible stories: How? For example the creation account in Genesis was regarded as metaphorical at least as far back as St Augustine's time, 1600 years ago (Augustine supports what he calls a literal interpretation, but that means that each thing in genesis has a specific real life counterpart - so each of seven days corresponds to some kind of undefined epoch). Revelations is clearly metaphorical if you read up on the obvious contemporary references it contains. American Evangelical style biblical literalism is a heresy of the modern era - hardly a sign that scientific knowledge is encouraging progress.

Agreed that Evangelical literalism is ridiculous. However, even taken allegorically the genesis myth adds nothing to what we know about the Universe. Furthermore what we know about the Universe is in spite of this myth not following from it.

> ancient greek philosophy

Could be regarded as a pre-cursor to modern science (not directly but in terms of the process of a species learning about thinking).

> Christian idea of a universe that follows laws

Sorry how does this contribute to science? Also what laws? The laws of some God myth?
Slightly reminiscent of early London coffeehouses

"...customers sat around long communal tables strewn with every type of media imaginable listening in to each other’s conversations, interjecting whenever they pleased, and reflecting upon the newspapers. Talking to strangers, an alien concept in most coffee shops today, was actively encouraged. Dudley Ryder, a young law student from Hackney and shameless social climber, kept a diary in 1715-16, in which he routinely recalled marching into a coffeehouse, sitting down next to a stranger, and discussing the latest news. Private boxes and booths did begin to appear from the late 1740s but before that it was nigh-on impossible to hold a genuinely private conversation in a coffeehouse.

As each new customer went in, they’d be assailed by cries of “What news have you?” or more formally, “Your servant, sir, what news from Tripoli?” or, if you were in the Latin Coffeehouse, “Quid Novi!” That coffeehouses functioned as post-boxes for many customers reinforced this news-gathering function. Unexpectedly wide-ranging discussions could be twined from a single conversational thread as when, at John’s coffeehouse in 1715, news about the execution of a rebel Jacobite Lord (as recorded by Dudley Ryder) transmogrified into a discourse on “the ease of death by beheading” with one participant telling of an experiment he’d conducted slicing a viper in two and watching in amazement as both ends slithered off in different directions. Was this, as some of the company conjectured, proof of the existence of two consciousnesses?"

FWIW I'm British and over-30 years old and had until this week no idea what happened at Waterloo. Waterloo is a song by ABBA. I've heard the phrase "that was his Waterloo" but never known really what it meant.

My knowledge of Napoleon changed when this week I watched a TV program on the BBC praising him as a great leader, and another kids program which seemed even handed merely telling his history. I didn't even know that it was Wellington['s army] who faced off against Napoleon, despite Wellington being a name I've known since my earliest years [rubber boots which nearly all UK kids have are called 'Wellington boots'].

I've never seen Waterloo lauded or celebrated in Britain. YMMV I'd be interested to hear other perspectives, perhaps I've missed out?

By chance I happened to watch a recent show, again on the BBC this week, that included an aspect of the Battle of Waterloo - there I learnt 2 things: it was in Belgium and the British were surprised to win, the battle being extremely close. It was a fictional work but presented the battle as a very narrow victory and without celebration.

For my part I see now in Britain an undercurrent of feeling that the disparity between the haves and the have-nots is too great that seems to me like a continuation of the feeling that fomented the French revolution. As an ordinary Brit coming to this topic afresh I kinda see Napoleon as "our man" to some extent. The French Revolution has definitely been painted in our popular culture as nothing more than a violent and uncivilised scourge motivated more by blood lust and power hunger than anything else.

Bokeh: nice python library for data visualization
Not OP, but the biggest thing my therapist recommended me was practicing mindfulness through meditation. The idea is that it makes it easier to fall back in that same mental state when suffering everyday anxiety.

Another thing she recommended which I just started doing was exercising regularly. I just started lifting a few weeks ago with a friend at the gym, and already its had a huge boost on my confidence levels.

Sorry if you've heard these before, but they do help a ton, trust me.
