For most usecases, bootstrap is fine. It delays the "designing" part so you can think about your product and actual features directly. And if you are tired of the "standard look and feel", you can buy nice themes later for a few bucks.

Projects that should not use bootstrap are the ones where every milisecond in performance truly matters, or when you have custom design requirements that would need major "overruling" of bootstrap. In this case, I recommend using a very lightweight CSS framework with a responsive grid instead, like http://purecss.io/grids/ .
That's my understanding, but I think that's a ways off.

That statement neither disputes nor supports the statement you made it in reply to. The statement you were replying to was referring to the trend line. That is to say it was referring to the line representing the rate at which the price was changing, not the price itself. You would need significantly more than two data points to make an argument for or against that assertion. As you would need enough enough points to show what the trend was both before the flood and currently.

I only point this out because I assume you misunderstood what was said about the trend line, if you had another purpose for pointing this out which I am missing I would be interested in knowing it.

Not at a company, but in Bulgaria every year there is a National Programming Olympiad - basically high-schoolers (but some time even mid-schoolers) would compete by solving 2 or 3 exercises in small amount of time. Their code would be ran, against tests, and it should finish in time, and with correct answers. Possibly code review might be done as well. Most used languages were Pascal, C, C++, Basic.

But then computers were not provided, each school had to travel with a computer for each student. So around 1993/94 a friend of mine, who also had some terrible medial situation at the time, and was quite weak decided to compete, and to make things worse for him - his spacebar wasn't working. I think he did a lot of presses of Alt+32 (or was it Alt+20 - I haven't used this combination of entering ASCII codes in a long time). He finish pretty good for the situation and keyboard problem he had, and next year when he was healthy and with good keyboard he did just awesome!
"Entrepreneurs are choosing to embrace the lie of probable success whilst ignoring the daunting statistics that contradict such thinking, such as the fact that 80 percent of startups fail within 18 months"

I think this happens this often because businesses are built around a cool idea, instead of a business model.

I now have 2 successful businesses built around a business model instead of an idea. I first figured out how to make money and then created the platform to do it.

I used to go to startup competitions in my area and the winners were always ideas that will never make money..like a Twitter clone that allows 300 characters. All failed within 6 months.

The other problem is that people don't realize it's not all about going to cool events and being a rock star. The majority of work done on a business is boring.

If you can't trudge through all of the boring work to get to the 1% that's cool, you won't make it.

If the 'w' key is the only worn out key on a keyboard, I would suspect that it had seen heavy use attached to a gaming PC, as the "forward" key in the default WASD movement layout.

I have a keyboard with a broken 'w' key myself, and I know exactly why that key cap died young. It sure wasn't from typing out "while".

Show me the tutorial where I can build, _in C_ a bare bones working (tail recursion) implementation of the lambda calculus with type inference and dependent (algebraic?) types

Why would you want to do that?

Type inference and dependent types don't go well together (already System F doesn't have type-inference), although it depends on the details of what you mean by dependent types.

Tail recursion is a concept of compilation and does not show up in an interpreter.

Note also that C has higher-order functions (via function pointers). The only relevant difference from lambda-calculus is that C functions must be named, cannot be nested and must exist at compile time. But conceptually these restrictions make little difference to the understanding of what lambda does: it creates a function.

Finally writing something like that (to the extent that the requirements make sense) is gonna be really painful in C. If you understand the lambda-calculus well enough to know what dependent types are, the implementation language should not make much of a difference.

I think the easiest way to learn the lambda-calculus
program in a functional language. The second easiest way
is to read the theory, after all the lambda-calculus as a calculus is incredibly simple, and you can hand-wave away the problems of bound-variable renaming. A slow-paced textbook like Hankin's
"An Introduction to Lambda Calculi for Computer Scientists", and doing the exercises in the first few chapters should do the job.
Will someone who works at Amazon and reads HN please ask Jeff Bezos to tell the Washington Post to grow out of this smartass fake journalism? Most people are well aware that agribusiness depends heavily on automation. Most people are equally well aware that it's a lot easier to drive around a field when you are the only thing in it than to drive on a public road. That's why you only need a driving license for the latter case.

The entire article is one giant straw man fallacy.
Honestly I'd just plug it in and look through the files.
Meh, seems quite unlikely it'll break the computer or infect it (I wouldn't expect Linux to be a big target for something left lying around anyway).

Besides, you can probably find the owner from the files on the USB stick and return it. If I can't find the owner this way I'd probably hand it in somewhere near.

I think AV is a tricky thing as it gives ring 0 (or equivalant) access to workstations and has its fingers in pretty much everything. Intelligence agencies probably see it as a huge win if they can commandeer one without anyone knowing.

I agree to a large extent but I think 80GB is an extreme on the low end. Many modern games (especially MMOs) are 20GB+. Windows 7 alone requires a huge amount of storage. I have a 120GB partition at home (just for OS+programs, not data) and I'm constantly uninstalling steam games in order to install others. If you want a modicum of breathing room, I'd say minimum 200GB.
Wearing headphones while in the open space is antithesis to our team. No one does it. Random interruptions at work are expected and even encouraged.

Thanks! I've been writing my own container implementation for the GNU Guix project and your code has been a wonderful reference. Guix allows unprivileged package management, so I was hoping that my container tool could offer unprivileged containers via user namespaces.
Is there a model for giving the maintainers a larger incentive to be honest, than the incentive that could be provided by a bad player?

To restate - Many FOSS maintainers live a ramen lifestyle. If someone either A. wanted a zero day exploit, or B. wanted a virus to be ignored, they might be able to pay the maintainer enough to violate ethics. Is there a way to incentivize maintainers enough to counter this risk?
The fact that device manufacturers do not generally provide a PHYSICAL switch to toggle microphone (or camera) connectivity, irrespective of what any software blob might attempt to do, says a lot about the state of respect for user control in this industry.
I'd love to hear how you're handling the ECS part of this. From the experimentation I've done, it's not just a matter of telling ECS to update the service unless you're running 2x the number of container instances you need -- it won't pull resources out from the existing service revision in order to spin up the new ones.

Certainly can be worked around, but it's a little annoying.

I've had APIs subtly break on me between at least 2 releases (I think it's actually 3, but one time may have been user error). The main culprits were changing the parameters which are passed on container creation vs on container start, and changing error messages/response codes.

IIRC, Assassin Creed Unity required 50GB by itself.

If Windows takes up 30GB, you pretty much need to wipe out everything just to play Unity on 80GB. I think 256GB to 512GB is the best bet for the standard consumer.

Yeah, it's a fucking big mac... have you never seen one before?
This is why people not trained in CS shouldn't speculate on it, when they do you get garbage like this.

The brain performs computation, it is by definition a computer. Before modern computers there was a human job, called, computer. One who performs computations. The analogy of the brain to a computer is perfect, because the brain is a computer.

> Free speech doesn't include yelling fire in a crowded theater,

That is false as a matter of well established US law. That was used as an evocative argument in a long ago debate about what US law should be, and that side lost.

> nor does it include making suggestions of physical violence against a judge.

That is also false as a matter of well established US law.

> describing a specific act of physical violence [...] against a specific person who also happens to be a public official [...] could cause that person, if they are reasonable, to feel that their life was in danger. That's the standard.

That is not the standard.

> Edit: or cause other reasonable people to believe that the individual's life was in danger

That is also not the standard.

This is not a matter of opinion, and this is not a grey area. That's not how the "reasonable person" test actually works, and that's not how the "true threats" exception to the first amendment is actually defined.

I understand that it might seem reasonable to you that someone "could" fear for their life as a result of the comments, or even that any reasonable person could do so, or even that they would. You might even be right. But as a matter of law, that doesn't matter.
Sure – with a first-class LLVM backend for WebAssembly, we could absolutely compile to it, which would mean running fully in the browser, which is something Emscripten can't quite manage at this point. That would certainly be very cool (and useful too). See https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/9430.

>You know what? They’re absolutely 100% right... The end result turned out to be kind of a mess in terms of a unified palette.

Kudos to them for listening to the feedback. It's too easy to ignore such complaints and instead rationalize away why you're not going to make any changes. I imagine a rework is going to be a lot of work.

I'm not totally convinced that the new logo is a grand improvement, but the "official palette" is quite sweet. Really makes me want to pick up the game.
I'm with you on this, but there are differences.

Subjective interview based hiring across all companies has been show to be discriminatory towards protected classes.
But that's different than showing a specific company's hiring process is discriminative.

If company A uses IQ test X, and IQ test X has been shown to be discriminatory, then you can say definitively that the hiring process of company A is discriminatory.

If company B uses hiring process Y, and you can show that hiring process Y is discriminatory in 50% of the companies that use it, you can't make a definitive conclusion about company B in the same way you can company A.

> I've found that the more I write testable code the better organised my code gets. Automated testing forces you to design maintainable, organised code - because your test suite really won't cope with disorganised code.

It can, but it will get out of hand really quickly. Worst case scenario the test suite becomes so tightly bound to the implementation that is becomes a part of it. This forces the test suite to be rewritten in the implementation changes, this is the worst case scenario and must be avoided at all costs.

Facebook Gives DEA BIO METRIC FACIAL RECOGNITION DEVICE More of the Story
The matter I am still in the midst of is dire. Here's my story. At this very moment as I write this email I am still under DEA surveillance. Let me be clear, not investigation. But surveillance. Their investigation is over, because they have caught who they want. My aim is to get the word out and protect the privacy and rights of all American citizens.

My friend and artist AO has been under DEA investigation. He comes here to write, thus my house has been under DEA investigation. Basically the DEA is using Facebooks software and some other devices that I have not been able to identify in order to surveil my house. A DEA agent currently resides in my house and I am able to communicate with the agents through some sort of fluke. I know this sounds crazy, but I am able to pick up their communication system with my mind. It's like a receiver. I thought I might be going crazy, but the apartment building where they are based is above my backyard. Their voice projects into my backyard like a sound-box. That was my physical confirmation. Other illegal DEA activities during this process include: Black Hat Hacking (On Sunday June 21, 2015 between the hours of 7PM to June 22, 2015 12PM. Websites include Hacker News, Americas Political Chat Room, LinkedIN, also I had a shifting url when I tried to access my Google Contacts at 9:59PM), Invasion of privacy (Recording my girlfriend and I having sex), Conspiracy (Not just with Facebook. But I believe other companies are involved. The only other one I could identify was At&T. They are my service provider. And I am not under investigation. So they needed a warrant to trace my phone. My friend and artist AO was picked up because I called him to wish him a happy fathers day.) There is probably so much more. I just got lucky and caught a signal, and began my investigation. These truths were arrived at by the process of elimination. I am not much for conspiracy theories, but this one happens to be true.

Now you are just cherry picking to prove a point. In a similar tone checkout the huge drop in prices for the Kingston Digital 240GB SSDNow[1]. It has dropped from about $400 to a mind blowing $78!!

I have been tracking the prices of HDD's for a while now. Although I do agree that HDDs are currently substantially cheaper than SSDs, HDDs have had much less drop in price or increase in capacity compared to the pre flood era. The bigger problem facing HDDs now is that almost all major manufactures are bought up by WD and Seagate and this is starting to show the ill effects of a duopoly. So it remains in their best interest to keep the prices high [2].

You are either completely misunderstanding or misrepresenting the holding in Watts.

The reason the comment about L.B.J was protected was not because the "if X happens" language, but because even crude, hyperbolic political commentary is absolutely protected under US law.

I started shaving with a standard safety razor about 6 years ago. Multiblade razors do a number on my skin. I've never looked for any alternative since switching. The blades (single blade/double edged) are about $0.60/each and for me they last about 10-12 shaves; almost two weeks. I order everything off Amazon. I probably spend $40-50/year on shaving supplies.

Good luck to them though, they'll probably be bought up by CVS or Walgreens or some other beauty retailer when they're ready to plant a flag in the online "subscription" world. This isn't a viable stand-alone business.
