Today's code schools may be new, but not code schools in general. Riding on the T in Boston 2000-2005 I saw plenty of advertisements for courses in Java, XML, etc. I always assumed those were low-quality classes for low-quality programmers. Nowadays the code schools teach Node.js and TDD, and their branding is more hip. I hope the quality has increased (of both instruction and students), but I still see it as a continuation of the training classes that have always been out there. Not the same people (I think), but the same market need.

I wonder whether it takes more carbon emissions to recycle paper than it does to dump the paper in a big old landfill and sequester its carbon away, and manufacture some new paper.
Oh, good - they already did it.

What I was getting at with the performance characteristics comment - though don't ask me why I didn't act like normal people and just say this, because I've no idea - was that the game will probably look crap on a PC. That means you'll have to spend some time making it look a bit nicer, if it's to be competitive. This is all going to involve a bit more than a simple button press.
In the most recent user guide (2013), they talk about "mapping".

You can record a map with the GPS and replay it. It's a little bit like waypoints for drones.

Yes, seriously. It could be many things, for instance he may be allergic to something. The possible causes are many.
Another story - I walk in on my first day (this is a subsidiary of a HUGE company). Nobody remembered that a new guy was supposed to join that day - so no desk or computer for me. First couple of hours I spent reading magazines, then I was given the oldest (probably older than me, ha) computer I've seen in my life. I am not kidding - I spent half hour just cleaning the thing (not talking about software, but hardware. it had half inch of dust on it).

Good times.
There is support in runc https://github.com/opencontainers/runc.git
It is still unsupported in docker though
True, and I've done it! I accidentally used a consumer grade (Crucial M500) in an application where endurance would be reached in less than a month.

In fairness to Micron/Crucial, the drives did not lose any data.... but the write bandwidth degraded down to 10MB/s which counts as a failure for most apps. That's the catch in the report you cite: the bandwidth of a used-up drive is so poor that it's hard to actually write enough extra data to fully-fail.

Edit: Burning up an SSD was how I learned that TRIM is unnecessary: even though many parts of the filesystem were stable and never re-written, the bandwidth was even across the entire drive. The firmware noticed that some cells were underused and moved the stable data off them so it could use up the endurance evenly.
It seems expecting schools to do all the training your employees will ever need would not be a good bet from a business point of view either. If your employees have the exact same skills as the competition's employees how do you expect the business differentiate itself?

I've been looking at Ionic for a while but needed to get rolling with it. This book helped me get up and running quickly and is a great way to get into Ionic.
I prefer to apply the principle of charity when replying to others' arguments. You chose the most uncharitable reading of my invocation of the 'silly' 'yelling fire' prohibition. Obviously I'm talking about the situation where it is false - and that is exactly my point. Not all lies or false statements are protected. There is such a thing as prohibited speech. Yelling 'fire' when there is no fire is an example of it.

Furthermore the test is whether a reasonable person believes they could telegraph intent.

The test is - if you, a reasonable person, could reasonably believe that this judge's safety is in question?
I will grant that it seems like the standard is fairly subjective, and libertarians are predictably siding with the expansive free-speech side of this argument, choosing not to read intent into something that other reasonable people might read intent into.

I tend to err on the side of personal safety given that I read these comments as probably not true threats but also not definitely false.

For what it's worth, though, I believe the sentence issued by the judge in question against Ross Ulbricht was unjust and unduly harsh and probably qualifies as cruel and unusual. Still, I don't recommend making suggestions of violence against an individual online, whether joking or not, and I don't think this is as clear cut as many are making it out to be.

Speaking of containers I've always wondered if running a GUI app (something like a kiosk) would work in these sorts of containers? I know you can do it hackily in docker by playing with X and xfvb. But does any of them natively (easily) support it?
I just finished a book called "Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby." It teaches you how to build OO applications that are pleasant to maintain. I highly recommend it.

I'd be delighted if there was enough interest and a way for it to be on public display. But there's a way to go yet.
It's not mentioned on this page, but these runc containers will also run on Windows[1], which is pretty amazing.

Not having to run the Docker daemon will also be pretty nice. Currently when I upgrade Docker, all containers have to be restarted on the host due to the daemon dependency. So to maintain uptime with Docker containers currently you better be running your stuff clustered (e.g. via Mesos/Marathon).

Standalone containers was something I felt rkt (alternate container format from CoreOS people) got right, so nice to see it carrying over here through the collaboration.

It seems like there is some revolutionary battery discovery every week. But we are stuck with nearly the same battery capacities as we were ten or fifteen years ago. It's frustrating. Meanwhile our phone battery life seems to get worse and worse every year.
Major Internet providers slowing traffic speeds for thousands across US
Are there any companies out there today with that mindset? I've received 4 rejections over the last couple of months that all seem to boil down to me not having "enough brown". One would think having a bachelor's in computer science, 7 years of broad IT experience, and an easygoing attitude might excuse me from being a little rusty with the latest RoR after not touching it for 3 years :) Sorry for the rant (and minor self-promotion), but this topic has been weighing on my mind a lot recently.
Note that that "proof" is not proof at all. Ignoring that it's anecdotal evidence on the sample of one, the author didn't have the checksum of the data on his SSD and didn't try to recompute it, he just tried to boot the computer with the SSD after being turned off for some time and then installed the new OS.

Note that the older the SSD (from the technology standpoint) the better retention is to be expected as the miniaturization of the data cells (which sinks the costs and increases the capacity) significantly lowers the chances for the retention. So his old SSD can behave better than the new one. And some lost bits don't mean that he can't boot, as long as it's just on the places that don't change the behavior.
It will likely be one or a few larger forensic investigations. I would wager that a team of a dozen experts or so will start one big investigation calling in other help as needed. In one big windfall they will determine how 80% or more of the data was taken. Then whatever is left will be handled on a case by case basis.

Likely the Unit thing was done to make the bureaucracy that pays for things happy. I have worked places where a 1,000 payments of $1 each was easy to make happen than one $600 purchase.
From a money point of view, sure.

But consider the Earth like some large spaceship. Folks are supposed to take turns cleaning the oxygen recyclers. Somebody says "Hey, I can earn more imaginary merit points by organizing a birthday party, or 100 other things"

So nobody cleans the oxygen recycler, and they all die.

Recycling is an inevitable outcome of living in a closed-system life-support system. Like our planet. Its gotta be done, regardless of the micro-optimizations folks make up to excuse themselves from doing it.
>It's quite possible that using the Microsoft software to bypass a captive portal without agreeing to the terms will land you in jail for a felony.

The author commented that they've seen a 50% drop in price over the last 8 months (from 20x HDD to 10x HDD), so it's not outside the realms of probability with the increased yields of 3D NAND.

No Offense, but arrow functions and the 'let' keyword in particular just seem like really bad ideas for javascript.
I find great irony in statements like these when the motivation of every party is considered. The idea is that prices are "in a free fall," i.e., they haven't fallen completely yet. But this will encourage people to buy SSDs and drive them in the very free fall of which the article speaks!

Experienced the same principle in my life a few weeks ago - I moved to a place described as "gentrifying." Realized a week into staying there that I was one of those people who was actually contributing to its gentrification! By no means was it gentrified, though.
SSDs should suffer the same bit-rot other flash does.

JEDEC specs require that a drive that has used 10% of its rewrite capacity it should hold the data for at least 10 years, and this decreases to when a drive has used 100% of its rewrite capacity it should hold the data for at least one year. So to meet specs a consumer drive should fall in between these timeframes. However, cheaper drives may well not completely meet this spec; this is common for many other manufacturing processes.

The bit rot also depends on many other factors, the most important being temperature (you cannot outwit statistical mechanics). The next one is a combination of hot neutrons causing bit flips from impurities in the material and from cosmic rays, the latter of which can be reduced by choosing better storage locations.

Better controllers could understand the decay modes and read and rewrite data to maximize expected lifetime, so power is needed for maximal expected lifetime.

In practice, all of this is not of much use to everyday people [1]. But if you want to maximize your data retention, study all these issues.

Here's a case the authors claim bit rot happened in three months offline [2].

Wait, wait, wait: just two hours ago you were demanding that I give credit to Scala for the design of constructors in Ceylon. And you accused me of quote "just tweaking of the language's constructor patterns and calling it novel".

It seems that you now accept that in fact the two designs are dissimilar, and that Ceylon's is significantly more powerful.

So, before continuing this discussion, do you think it would appropriate to start by apologizing to my team?

Just so we don't get off on the wrong foot?
A good point in general, though I'd add that, 1) slavery has been around for a long time and in many cultures family members are/were treated as property, especially women and children; and 2) for much of history[1] power, including ownership of land, has been concentrated in few hands, who often were not very kind to their subordinates.

I wonder what the historical distribution of self-employed (including subsistance farming) vs employed by others.

[1] Of course it depends how far back we go in history. Until 10,000 years ago we all were hunter gatherers.
Unlike most battery articles, this one is credible. It's about the guy who did A123, which made a very good lithium battery (one that doesn't have thermal runaway and doesn't catch fire), but couldn't do it economically.
You don't need to do anything. You could just put up with whatever noise distractions your office produces. If you don't want to do this, you can use ear protection to make it easier for you to deal with. But you certainly don't need to.

Then it's not really something that 'happens all the time.' It's the gag order which is the primary issue here, not request for more details.
There's more than one artist on her label (which, by he way, is not owned by her or her family, though they do have a minority stake).
Of course, though in systems where the material is sorted for collection, there's a significant amount of value added for free (in fact, it's double-dipping for the haulers, since they charge for their service, and sell the sorted materials). Now, my impression from looking at curbside sorting in my neighborhood is that the value-add is not great, lots of marginal or flatly forbidden things are mixed in, so I understand that human beings still eyeball everything once more, on a conveyor belt, and then automated sorting separates things further, neither of which are free...

I don't do pair programming at work; when I did pair programming, it was with a friend for various side projects, and we'd do it for a 12+ hour day (broken up by a couple of meals. It was exhausting in a good way: it felt maximally productive, as well as exhilarating.
I wish there was some reliable data to support or refute this argument.
The warranty is certainly not "it will keep the data 10 years without being powered on." We discuss the topic of how long SSDs retain the data when powered off. Intel says, powered off but stored on just 35 degrees C, only 14 weeks, as published by AnandTech:

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9248/3.PNG

And Intel is proud to be more reliable than others. In one of their presentations I've seen they show that they use some very high tech setups (like accelerators!) to measure the degradations fast, and that the other producers fare worse on their tests.

Well the issue in my mind is how to functionally decompose construction of a record. You have to come up with some way to express a "partial" record, and then "augment" it with new members. I'm trying to say this without using the word "inheritance" ;-)
I'd be surprised—I'm pretty sure the photographer does own the rights to photos they took, unless he/she explicitly signs them away, so there's nothing to fuss about.

That said, I'd expect to be thrown out more often than not if I started showing up to random weddings as an uninvited photographer. No one has to let me take pictures in their private space, but they might do so with terms attached.
While you are correct that you can nuke a normal SSD in a month, you can buy high-endurance drives which will last much longer. For example, you can buy a p400m with 7.5PB of write endurance [1]. It's just a question of making sure you buy a part that matches your need.

If you're writing more than 7.5PB in a month... I'm prepared to be amazed :-)

> ...if already-educated workers are the norm...

That's the point -- there's a difference between education and training. It is only an issue because so much of the education looks very similar to the desired training.

It is not the purpose of an education to produce new employees, but to provide a broad basis for experiencing and making sense of the world. It just so happens that you also learn transferrable skills like a basic familiarity with a particular field, along with some tools and techniques that help you organize and solve problems. A proper education is not an extended code bootcamp, nor should it be.
As someone who skipped kindergarten and 1st grade, and later tested through some math classes, I am dubious about the ability of the existing public school system to accommodate such acceleration without harming students.

Being younger than everyone was fine until 7th grade (i.e. until puberty). From that point on I had to deal with a lot of bullying through 11th grade (when I finally grew taller & stronger) and never felt like I fit in until college. It was quite traumatic, and I would def have preferred being "normal".

People mature at different rates in different respects. While intellectually many kids are ahead of their age, they may or may not be so emotionally or physically. Rather than trying to fit square pegs into round holes, an ideal system would permit "bright" children to advance at their own pace academically within an environment of social peers.
The author of that piece is actually somewhat confused about how SSDs work. Data retention is a matter of the charge store leaking. An SSD doesn't have any means of refreshing that charge on it's own, the same timer is there whether the drive is on or off. And in fact it will lose data faster if the drive is on since then the drive temperature will be higher. Luckily this sort of data loss isn't a big deal in practice for the reasons outlined elsewhere in this thread.

It is not only the imbalanced lust of few men that this horrible ecosystem is built around, the whole social structure is equally responsible for its existence and growth. Lack of strong social bond, lack of respect to the existence of other humans, lack of proper education on ethics and humanity, hypocrisy in the name of freedom, idea of living in the moments, greed etc are the reasons behind the existence of prostitution, pornography, and other sex related abuses. No government in the world can end this until the society acts as a whole to reject it. Perhaps the effective starting point to minimize it is to avoid double standards.

Recycling is popular because, especially in America where we don't even sort our materials. It provides a zero effort way for people to feel like they're helping the environment. The only real way to produce less waste is to consume less and most people aren't interested in actually inconveniencing themselves.
I agree. 'Desktop client for WhatsApp' sounds about ok. I guess with a name like 'Unofficial WhatsApp for Desktop' would remove all ambiguities and also convey very clearly that you're not trying to trick people.
This is used only for development. The preference allows you to access privileged browser APIs, like triggering a GC at exact points in time. This is useful when running benchmarks to reduce the noise causes by a previous run.

The preference is named as such to prevent people from being tricked into turning it on.
I think it was just lowering the number by a few orders of magnitude to compensate for the effects and logic propagation delay (e.g. I think he said he's using a ripple adder which has a critical path dependent on the bit length), not a precise calculation exact number. My gut instinct says it's probably the right order of magnitude though.

You could probably run the long stretches at a much higher clock rate or make the design run on asynchronous clock domains if you use good serialize/deserialize units.
