> It seems like steam deliberately did this to thumb their nose at the situation.

Was this deliberate? Or did some algorithm pick up that the game was "popular" (increased visits to Steam page, mentions on social media, etc) and automatically bump it up the promotion queue as a result?
Sure, but unwarranted fear of dead bodies isn't good either. Not even many infectious diseases remain infectious, since dead people can't cough or sneeze. And there's no such thing as miasma either.

Here's a good explanation from a mortician:

Depends what you mean by "install the driver". Windows already has the driver on the disk in its driver store, but it won't actually start using it until a device requires it. But the driver isn't "reïnstalled" when you insert another device requiring it, that's just setting up a separate device.
That's exactly what I want! At my desk I use a huge monitor, which is where I'm loving HazeOver. I keep my macbook air on my desk for email and chat, which is already hard to see due to it's size. So I usually keep that a little brighter. With HazeOver as it is now, it's dark all the time.
It's amazing what you get used to in London. How you justify living in such a polluted messy place for so little return.

Once you walk away you just wonder why you didn't do it sooner. The world is a big place.
I'm not being partisan but I lost a lot of respect for Scalia when he dissented in a death penalty case and stated (badly paraphrased) that it's essentially ok for the government to make mistakes and execute innocent people because the death penalty served as a valuable deterrent to crime.

I mean really - placing the interests of the state ahead of basic human rights? What could be a more fundamental violation of your rights than to be put to death for a crime you didn't commit?

In a theoretical world where no death penalty existed and was replaced with a life sentence it would at least be possible for someone that was wrongly convicted to be released from prison if exculpatory evidence comes to light.

Isn't that just presumptuous? "All black people trace their immediate ancestry (past 400 or so years) from Africa."

Nevermind that black people also come from: Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, etc.
This is a great opportunity for "Ya'll" and "Yinz" to rise in popularity.
I wonder how generational or regional or maybe even contextual this is? A couple years back, I overheard a young teenage girl address the rest of her female soccer teammates with "hey guys." Is it not exclusionary when said by a girl? When addressed to a group of all girls? When not in a professional setting?

Really? That's a real mess!
I think you're taking the words too literally. The adult women could be aunts, guardians, sisters, adoptive mothers, biological mothers, etc. We can always seek out ways to find words to be unfit in a sentence, but, the purpose of speaking is to communicate. Normal people will understand that 'moms' in this case means any adult who in this scenario is representing a child in some capacity. It's shorthand.

Sure, the speaker could have included all possibilities when addressing the audience, etc., but why? We know what they mean, they didn't intend to exclude you in any way and as an adult you can process the exceptions (moms, the bathrooms are there) you can figure out where the men's toilet is.

If we concentrate on people's speech patterns, we can always find faults. There are better things to spend your energy on. We could also embark on pluralization vs apostrophe too, it's a noble cause, but we all know what people mean.
100% Burnt Out
What do you define as burnout?

When did you first experience burn out?

How long before starting a new job should you start feeling the effects of burn out?

Were you ever burnt out after the 1st month constantly trying to play catchup?

Is your team so disorganized that you're constantly playing catchup and fixing everyone else's spaghetti code?

I'm curious what other people have experienced. I started experiencing burn out after 1 month at a new job. Was hired into a 'Jr' role (not included in title, but still a Jr role), but I'm doing the work of a Principal engineer who left 1 month after I joined. On top of new features, I have the joy of refactoring thousands of lines of code just so I can build the new features the 'right' way. I'm constantly playing catch-up, always doing patch releases within the next release's sprint (it's like having 2 jobs!), and I'm always the 'go-to' guy for specific things that I've already taught to the other devs. I've taught others how to do things the 'right' way, but things are rarely built the 'right' way.

Playing catchup is 50% of my job.

Working on the current sprint is 25% of my job.

Fixing other people's bugs for a release I'm not scheduled to work on is 25% of my job.

Mental break downs have occurred twice in the past 5 months.

When do I call it quits? Am I just that self-loathing that work and experience is worth more than my mental sanity? Are my expectations of the industry skewed and everyone is always this miserable?
I don't get all the negativity RE: kerf not being open source in this thread. It's obvious the implementation is not free software (check the README in the actual submission) because the author wants to sell commercial licenses. Nothing inherently bad about that -- some of us need to make a living.

The query language and concepts which are explained in the documentation are an exciting/novel (at least to me) contribution and "out in the open" for everybody to see/discuss/adapt/improve upon. Let's not dismiss that because we can't read the source.
It may be comforting to know that I did exactly the same thing a few years before that and ended up at a shitty university and quit after 6 months. Best thing I ever did.
Gay Marriage is a controversy that is constantly used to to distract people from much bigger problems.

The ruling that had vastly more wide-reaching effects this week is that they upheld the the terrible "Affordable" Care Act. This act is a capitalist abomination of much more well thought-out socialist single-payer plans. Now that health insurance companies have a state granted monopoly, there's no reason to bring prices down or change anything.
Heck, my cellular provider was tracking the HTTP connections of their customers by default to sell profiles to marketing companies. (You could opt out, but I believe the fine print was something along the lines of 'we won't sell your information anymore but we will still collect it for later'). Other Internet providers have offered a cheaper plan to opt-in to traffic snooping for marketing profile building/selling. Tor exit nodes and my residential ISPs are on a similar level of distrust for me.

I've since started using 'whole premises VPN' (all traffic is routed through an encrypted tunnel to a VPS) - I have more confidence in my VPS provider than I do in my residential ISPs. At least the VPS company probably won't use my connection data for marketing profiles..
Any reason? Youth poverty and loss of trust in the government, really.

The hope expressed here, which I share, is that settling marriage equality can help move us to a world in which politics isn't dominated by a discussion of what or who people consent to do with their own bodies.

You don't need to be straight to think that there are deeper issues which which still exist that, if solved, could have made marriage equality something which was never controversial. For example, why should any government have any say over whose relationship is legitimate?

There's an old idea that the government exists to serve the governed and that any situation in which it intervenes should only be to protect them, not to dictate the terms of their religion or their private lives. And yet the US government is in a situation where it seems to often serve the interests of only those who can hire lobbyists. Protection is redefined as protecting the wealth of those few, and elected representatives focus their campaigns on the most divisive cultural and religious issues over which they have minimal influence to distract from what they actually do on a daily basis, which is mostly meeting with lobbyists.

Plenty of people will vote for one party solely based on their support or opposition to a single issue such as abortion or marriage equality, and while those are important issues, they have allowed politicians to get away with whatever else they have wanted to sneak into their agendas.
I made a Haskell library that uses Git as a JSON store: https://github.com/myfreeweb/gitson

Used in my website engine: https://github.com/myfreeweb/sweetroll
I've never really given credence to the people that suggested a ruling would be a slippery slope. However, after reading the opinion for myself, I can see how the court's stance on marriage (opposite-sex and same-sex) can now be extended to polygamy and incest. I understand the need to define it as a fundamental right within the context of this ruling, but it seems that some of the wording opens the way for other marriage relationships that are not explicitly defined in the court's opinion.
Now if we can get the stack to grow upwards instead of downwards my life will be complete and I can die.
While you're technically correct that intent and interpretation are entirely independent, if you throw away all context of the statement and frame it in your own pedantic and literal interpretation...why are you even engaging in communication? You obviously aren't putting forth any effort to understand the speaker's intent and that seems to be at the heart of conversation and debate alike.
6 time-consuming tasks you can automate with code
Jerf,

1. Thank you for the feedback

As you have already seen, I submitted my library to /r/golang and have gotten a lot of feedback – from which I modified the constructs (originally the functions returned channels).

I want to write something that is useful to as many people as possible (all while not alienating anyone) and therefore try not to force users (like I originally did) to use the "asynchronous APIs".

I didn't expect this to end up on HN and was going to start a discussion on golang-nuts on the pros and cons of this construct. Based on that, I was going to remove or keep the APIs.
I use "Hey, civilians" just to be safe.
I think people may have a hard time separating the two. They feel that it is infringing upon their religion, and they associate that religion with the First Amendment which they use to express it.

I also think they are putting it in there as a covering themselves, preempting the argument from others.
Learn how to use a smartphone and download the app. Problems solved. I am sure they pay a certain % to w/e Frenchy cab companies anyway akin to infamous Yello-cab in NYC.
You still have it a lot easier than Germans or French folks for example, where you also need to consider formal (Sie) and informal (Du) forms when addressing people.
But it's another thing to be on Fox (the television channel) and on top of mind for young people. Gay is just an adjective to them, not this twisted idea with hateful baggage. Oh, she has red hair and he's gay. Moving on.

It's not really the gay icons as much as it is the gay banality. Having gay just exist in plain sight.

Whatever your IDE/editor of choice is, I think these having these three functions are critical to learning a new codebase, or even developing for that matter:
1. Go to definition
2. Find all references
3. Navigate back

This allows you to go down any code rabbit hole, figure stuff out, then get back to where you were. If you can't do those things it will take much longer to understand how things are interconnected.

Or indeed, on the fundamental issue, which is the need to get permission from a tiny group of powerful people in order to get married.
It's all the people coming over the last 15 years. It's easier to hate an abstract notion of a person--all those gay stereotypes, plus what you hear in church--than someone you know and care about.
Polygamy is a deeply troublesome arrangement, with a storied history of abuse. It has been steadily abandoned and outlawed as societies grant more legal rights and self-determination to women.

There is simply no way to legally recognize poly* relationships under the law in a way that resembles binary marriage.

Folks kinda works. I usually use "guys" when addressing people, but when being extra sensitive (eg, if I'm addressing a bunch of MTF trans girls), I'll be careful and use "folks".

To make a list, for things that I use in a "Hey ___, ..." context, with varying levels of casual:

- Guys
- Folks
- People
- You lot
- Motherfuckers/jerks (other insulting term that's obviously not meant in earnest)
- Mateys
- Chaps (debatably gender biased)
- Team (or other factual statement e.g. colleagues)
- Everyone
- Dudes (also debatably gender biased, but depends on how well people know you. I call everyone dude, I am probably immature)
- Reprobates/scallywags/some other sort of old world sounding term.

The Art of DevOps Pt. 4 – The Operational Battlegrounds
I guess we found each other. The things that irritate me the most is that people believe that marriage is a right. It is not. It is a government granted legal status privilege. The privilege grants those recognized as married numerous benefits. Now, with that said, I can't see why allowing any two consenting adults who wish to extend the government recognized benefits to each other should be infringed. One question though is, what benefit does the state/government gain from [recognizing] marriage? I think the quickest and easiest answer is that a) two people sharing and taking care of each other is beneficial [to society] and b) should a divorce occur, the state can get involved ensuring that a[n ex-]spouse is treated fairly and taken care of.

ADD: Also, people keep mixing love and marriage. While the two often go hand in hand that isn't always the case.

"What is the software "end game"?"

IMO, the point at which the software can "understand" human articulation and make improvements; improvements to itself, to the system it operates within, to the world we live within. I'm thinking along the lines of the Star Trek universe as presented in TNG and later. They just ask the software for something and it complies. Human intelligence and creativity are still required, but no one has to "write software" any longer.

If you limit your question to current technology (I mean those things that we have now, and we can foresee - not those that will require some unknowable leap in scientific understanding), then the answer is 'no time soon.' This is because every founder, every manager, every customer has some "unique" change or feature request and some other human will have to build it.

Distribution strategies will improve as a result of market forces. When company A has way more product that it can ever hope to sell locally they will be forced to invest in exporting that product globally.
I think OP is well aware that the speaker isn't specifically addressing moms and only moms. But even knowing that, it can make you feel less included, which is in itself unpleasant, even if on a more rational level you know that you are included.

I realize I'm approaching the question from a different angle than you are, but I want to point out that it was a very big problem for gay and lesbian Americans and their loved ones.
Polygamy is a Christian institution. It was pointedly prescribed in the old testament. Modern anti-polygamists will argue that the old testament prescription was a matter of necessity, and that new testament language (particularly Paul's) prescribes monogamy, but to my eyes the new testament's position is pretty casual, while the old testament's is quite strong.

Steep, but it's about half what I'd pay to go a much shorter distance into London (if I actually went 5 days a week). Replace 'half' with '25%' if we're accounting for exchange rates...
I don't like the logic, at all. Just the writing.
The type is inferred from when you initially set the value. Note that saving the string '1' will return the integer 1 due to the naive nature of the implementation. Hashes, arrays and booleans behave as expected when saved.

Can you elaborate upon this in the readme? It wasn't clear to me whether git, ruby or the gkv has the naive implementation (or if the conversion only happens with the string '1').

Also is it possible to enumerate the versions of key-values that have been saved?

I'm sure I have several more questions but I'll leave it at that. Thanks for making this!
Well yeah, but I wanted to experiment with the language type system(it started from HM, but it can go anywhere).

Classes/records are not implemented yet, but I can imagine that we have two cases:

<object_with_known_exact_class>.<method>

then we'll just convert that to a normal function invocation in c(because we'll be able to detect the exact ancestor which defines the method and the method)

<an_instance_of_some_class>.<method>

if we only know that an object is an instance of a class, we can wrap the invocation in an inline switch on the type field of the object.(instances would map to C structs).
> not to mention commonly a complete loss of recognition and attendant rights on moving outside the sub-territory

That wasn't necessarily the case; a bunch of Full-Faith-and-Credit-Clause cases were also being litigated before this decision. Though it would probably have ended up as more of a complex mess.
I prefer to use "people" but I have also found that I prefer to spend my time around people that wouldn't have cared if I used "guys".
I doubt the USA keeps an eye on Canadian legal cases (though Commonwealth countries certainly do) but Canada's polygamy laws were tested by a high court very recently (2011). The existing laws were upheld.

> Marrying your pets should be legal too

What benefits would marrying your pet bring? And why marry when you already own?
"Ultimately, I think the real moral is that more companies should do their own thing, even if that thing is not great in the abstract. Being different carries a value of its own, and it breeds biodiversity that's healthy for the system as a whole. (Of course, many of the things companies try are really bad for various reasons, but that's a different story…)"

This really resonated with me - especially as a start up, doing what feels right just makes sense, especially when that's consistent with your team's culture and even sense of humor.

Real example - when we're not getting a sense of the 'real' person we're interviewing, we take them out for a friendly game of foosball. It's brilliant at removing nerves, but also gives us great insights into their team skills, competitiveness, and more.

Amazing Bang Bang Cover by Nancy Sinatra
Answer: with great difficulty.
But it's also worth noting that it has successfully become the symbol of the Confederacy in the minds of most modern Americans. If you show a map of the Civil War and designate Confederate units or territories with the first national flag or the Bonnie Blue flag, you'll just confuse the people trying to understand your map.

And, if you use the second or third national flags, well, you know? I suspect that Apple wasn't going to let those ones through either. It's not as though they have any distinctive pattern BESIDES the battle flag.
>Without getting unduly personal, let's say that I have a stake in that question being resolved. I know several triples living quietly among us; they face the same kind of problems (child custody, hospital visitation, inheritance rights) as same-sex couples faced prior to this decision.

I made that argument to a couple of friends - that they were not fighting for equality (which will be fairly easy to set up) but for inclusion in the privileged club. They responded with "Well marriage is between couples, but defining the sex of the participants is discriminatory".

One of the problems with polygamy/andry is that we could hollow out the lower social classes of mating opportunities (it happens in india and china right now due to girl infanticide and it is not pretty).

Anyway - congratulations to the winners.
