True enough - rock and pop have become completely stylised and self-referential, like a sweatier and louder version of Japanese Noh theatre (or something.)

That's not a reason for kids not to play at it. And the story telling part of this idea sounds great.

Ironically, it's probably more creative than the rock and pop industries are now.

I used to work with ceramic wool and in big letters on the box it says that it's known to be a possible carcinogen. Not only does it kill you slowly, it hurts more than itches unlike regular insulation. The fibers are longer and sharper and really sting and take a few freezing cold showers to really get it out of your skin. I certainly don't miss those days :)

I think it's a bad idea to start putting lcd screens on moving vehicles. It can be distracting, expecially in split-second decisions that sometimes need to be made on the road. Furthermore, it potentially opens up the door to putting screens on vehicles for other purposes, such as advertisements, which is the last thing this world needs.

Not to mention the issues of access you run into when money and influence are able to build up behind one or two campaigns. Two insanely massive parties are basically like competition between two massive marketing budgets. Trying to compete against the Republican or Democratic parties is like trying to start a new cellular carrier from scratch to compete with Verizon and AT&T.

Sure, if you managed to get enough "viral" support and maybe some wealthy investor you could mount a campaign big enough to get into a debate but the frameworks that have grown around the two-party system make it very difficult to take advantage of any popularity boost.

Trying to compete with the two established parties in a "winner takes all" system would require working against the entire political system which is overwhelmingly made up of people in those two parties.

Joelrunyon's top comment was a straw-man -- nobody said "paying your dues" was a sufficient condition -- so it seems fitting that the next snarky post down the thread would sarcastically attack the idea that it's a necessary condition.

When gjm11 said "justifying" they obviously meant "supporting". And yeah, after Obama's train-wreck foreign policy and complete disconnect with legislators on both sides of the aisle, it's pretty reasonable to highlight your experience as a positive quality.

Why Search Is iOS 9’s Killer Feature

Especially since most request will originate from a Desktop or mobile client. For each requests, the client will surely display the result for a few seconds or even minutes, using way more energy than parsing those text protocols. Therefore, switching to a binary protocol can't make a big difference, not even for the comparatively small part of human energy consumption that's used for computing devices.

Politics is full of "this is why we can't have nice things." :)

Anyway, I don't think anyone really thinks like this, or at least a lot fewer than the people who talk like this. This is the kind of stuff that people come up with when they are already convinced and trying to make their case and not how they become convinced.

There is a common fallacy (or cognitive bias, I'm not sure what to call it) that affects almost everything we think but seems particularly pervasive in politics.

We use far more rational arguments to justify or argue for our positions and opinions than we do when adopting them. Adopting opinions is emotional (a bundle in itself), associative. Rational thought plays a part, but it's much smaller than we like to admit. We also see the logic in arguments with the logical conclusions we have already reached far more readily than the other way around.

"she has paid her dues" and "the world of women everywhere will change" seems convincing to someone who is already convinced. I doubt it convinces anyone (or many, anyway). In this case, it's almost testable. There are people on the other side of politics who are woman and have paid (or will have paid) their dues. If Hillary loses and one of them runs next time, do you think she'll switch?

You should first check if the compiler doesn't do it for you. Otherwise you're just making your code harder to maintain and less portable for zero gain.

In my experience with similar code you can get GCC and LLVM to generate a proper jump table if you're careful to make your code as regular as possible in order for the optimizer to understand what you're doing.

Case in point: https://github.com/simias/psx-rs/blob/master/src/cpu/mod.rs#...

Here LLVM manages to inline all the functions and generate a proper jump table. IIRC I tried getting the function address in the "match" and calling it afterwards but then the compiler wouldn't optimize it properly anymore.
An option for git or magit that would automatically look at recent commits and maybe capitalize or add a period to my commit message so that it is consistent with the majority of the commits for the project would be nice.

>Honestly those commits should probably be split anyway. A commit should represent the smallest 'change' which is singificant.

Which again may result in that refactoring never getting done. Many times I've found myself saying to myself "I must refactor this class.. But I'll just finish implementing this feature first so that I can get a clean commit with only the refactoring afterwards". Suddenly it's 5 o'clock and tomorrow I've forgotten about the refactoring need.
I doubt they intentionally colored the guitars; they bought the guitars and some were pink, so they decided to attach the distortion to those as a side effect. Children size guitars are frequently brightly colored, some of which are a brilliant pepto-bismol pink.

By giving the children a choice of not only sound but color, they're sticking with some good punk traditions, IMHO.

Kill 'em all, you're a god...
That is 100% correct.

Let me rewind a little bit in my own life. I probably could have fought my charges a little more, but the risk outweighed the reward. You go to trial and anything can happen. Was I 100% innocent, no. Was I 100% guilty, no. But because at the time I was arrested my co-defendant had disappeared (I believe he is still wanted but I have never followed up and the past is the past to me) the focus of the prosecutor at that moment in time was squarely on me. The prosecutors offered me a plea that was almost too good to turn down. Looking back, and after talking to a bunch of people, I probably should not have taken the plea, but you can't go through life second guessing your decisions.

Knowing what I know now, IMO, the better your plea deal the less confident the prosecutor feels about the case. I was looking at a minimum 10 year sentence. I took a plea for one year supervised probation. I took the plea for several reasons. First, going to trial would have cost me at bare minimum $50,000-60,000 in attorney costs (contrary to popular belief your ability to obtain a public defender is based on your income, and assets you have access to, and I did not qualify). As it was I had already spent close to $12,000 on attorneys. The second reason I chose the plea over trial was that going to trial would have been a long, drawn out process where the result may or may not have gone in my favor. You are putting your life in the hands of a judge or jury. In the end my decision to take the plea boiled down to cost and knowing that within 1 year I would be done with everything and could move on with my life. If I had gone to trial, it would have cost a lot more and at the time I was finishing probation I would probably just be going to court. I took it as an easy way to lick my wounds, learn from my experience, and put my life back on track quickly.

Funny side story of it all. When I first started discussing costs with my attorney I asked him what his thought was on total costs. He replied that there were two questions he had for me in determining cost. First, did I want him to play golf with both the judge and the prosecutor, or just the prosecutor. And, the second question was how many games of golf I wanted him to play with them. I laughed and told him as many as it takes. Looking back part of me thinks he may not have been joking. Our legal system is full of I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine scenarios.
Someone explain why the British Royal family gets a single pound in tax-payer money.

Speaking of intellectual consistency, the British taxpayer gets more money from the royal family than the family gets in taxes. The government administers estates owned by the royal family and takes the revenue - the net cash flow is about £100M annually from Lizzie and crew to the UK taxpayer. This isn't soft measures like "enhances tourism". It's direct income from the estates.

If the UK gummint were to cut them off, the Windsors could take back control of their estates, and the gummint would be that much in the red. Continuing in the vein of intellectual consistency, the UK is a representative democracy - the people who pass law are voted in by citizens. The monarch does not make law, so elections for the monarch are meaningless in the context of law- or policy-making.

You can hate on the royal family all you want, but it doesn't change that they contribute more financially than they get, and they don't get to make law. And the UK has a multipolar political system, though it's stupid FPTP voting method gives it a lot of similarities to a two-party system. Ultimately though, your hated royals actually inhabit a country with more political choices for the proles than the US has.

King of Sweden... I'm less familiar with.
At the University of Chicago, the thesis office didn't give any indication that they'd ever heard of LaTeX. But they did hand us a long list of formatting requirements (precise margins, contents format, lots of other details) and it was clear that any deviation from those would result in your thesis being handed right back to you.

Fortunately, there was a LaTeX style file that had been handed around the physics department for years that generations of grad students had tuned to meet the requirements. Doing my part, I tweaked it a bit to handle some special cases that came up in my thesis (and, I think, to clean up the code in one or two places) and passed it on to the next generation. (I shudder to think of how many forks there must have been; I saw at least two or three while I was preparing my version. Maybe someone has put a canonical version on GitHub by now: nothing of the sort was really on our radar back then.)
Well that's the point. Feed the team with a trivial problem to see how they react.

A well working team will probably do as you say - volunteer an individual to write the rule in an email and follow it from there on.

If you going to introduce changes in a team, like for example introducing Agile (the proper way) or you are starting a new project, you want to quickly gauge the team dynamic, and that's a good exercise.

It's worth noting that Obama himself was not originally planning to run in 2008 due to lack of experience in public office. Tom Daschle is responsible for pushing him to run precisely because he had no track record on hot topic issues that weakened the competition.

The highest tax rate in the US as recently as 1978 was 70% [1], and had been as 91% (!) from the forties through the sixties. So I don't know why you assume that a high tax rate on the very wealthiest leads to Romania, 1980.

America's incredible post-war boom and burgeoning strong middle-class all happened at a time when the very wealthiest had very high tax rates.

I know it is not a very common way to think about parents responsibilities nowadays, but it was more so in the past. And I think it was reasonable to ask children to first pursue normal "un-sexy" education before getting more "creative", because in the end the kid will have to get a job, and choosing paths where jobs are not too competitive and pay the rent makes sense.

A good friend of mine has his preteen daughter embarqued into writing a book, and this is ridiculous. Kids do not have to be creative, nobody has to be creative. Being creative is a gift (or a curse) that only a few have, and when it is strong enough to be a vocation, it will find its way, even against a classic (boring) education.

Also, I hate the star system where a few crasy people are given as examples to the populace, while in fact they have most often a miserable life.
The idea was noble, but the law was poorly done.

If you want to have a Remember me checkbox (=writing a cookie with a session id), you'll have to get the user autorization. It effectively protects from nothing, it justs makes more popups in everyones life (yay!).

I think we are living in an era where there is a huge knowledge and perception gap with the people making the laws (At least in Europe). Hopefully this gap will narrow in the next 10-20 years, and things will be shapen more correctly in the future.

There is a lot of meditation on the meaning of "Everyone gets a pocket supercomputer" here.

Thing is, mobile devices are not pocket personal computers. You might wish they were, and maybe someday the few million of you, out of the 1.5-2 billion annual mobile device customers, worldwide who wish it will have mobile devices you really can take complete control of.

Heck, out of the 300 million annual PC customers, how many of them buy PCs thinking "This is my personal computer?"

And if we really want secure, controllable, personal computers, we'll need to re-invent them because PCs long ago sold out to IT and monitoring and compliance and all that.

I've done accelerated aging on polymers (medical, but I bet it's similar).

We have an accelerated aging experiment, and we sample the part for degradation throughout the test. We also "shelf age" another test group of polymers from the same batch by placing them on the shelf.

Every year or so (or sometimes 5 year spans), we take the shelf samples and look for degradation, and compare it to the accelerated data.

In one polymer's specific case, free radicals in the polymer chain slowly react with oxygen and that's how it breaks down (takes about 10 years if the polymer isn't stable), so our accelerated aging is to put in in a pressure vessel full of high-pressure oxygen, and apply a little heat. We can get 10 years of degradation (roughly) within 2 weeks.

This is almost certainly what the archival blu-ray format has done and is doing.

A few corrections: The foremost goal when retrofitting generics into Java may have been backwards compatibility, but the requirement that drove the designers to type erasure and the clunky implementation was migration compatibility.

C# had generics retrofitted and kept perfect backwards compatibility. You can still run C# 1.0 programs on a modern 4.0 runtime. That is backwards compatibility, and it would have been quite possible to fit Java generics the same way.

Migration compatibility is a (in hindsight) rather absurd requirement where old (non generic-aware) code should be able to call new (generic-aware) code where you as the integrator have control over the source code of neither the "old" nor the "new" code.

In practice this would only happen when you use an old library that has taken direct dependencies on external (to the library) non-generic classes (i.e. not interfaces), and where you will not accept that the old code keeps calling the old classes.

C# retained the old collection classes, implemented new generics-aware collection classes that still supported the old interfaces (with proper type checking and -casting). This meant that old code could still be passed references to new generic collections and work as expected.

The only constraint in C# is that is "old" code has taken a strong dependency on an old non-generic class you cannot pass a new generic class to that code.
If I needed to close one, I'd stick a cork in the hole in the bottom. So I think that is a reasonable way to describe closing it.
