You're absolutely right.

While I do strongly believe that optional typing is a feature I want to keep, I have been focusing too hard on taking a middle-of-the-road approach.

The original idea was to have a systems development language that had the same "feel" as a high level scripting language. I didn't do a lot of planning on what that meant from the technical side.

I appreciate the advice. I'll spend some time getting the answer to what Orange actually is.
Just landing on a larger target than their barge would be easier. The April landing probably would have succeeded if they hadn't had to make a big horizontal move just before landing to get into position over the barge. Once they get the barge landing working once, they plan to switch to landings on a landing pad, which can be made much bigger than the barge.
Haha, love the name of the file "PrideToCat.png" :)
JSON is a very specific subset of JavaScript, and there is no literal syntax for Symbols, so there is no defined way to represent a symbol at the moment. Unless you wanted to encode them as a function call or something, which sounds terrible.
Seriously? That's a pretty large lacuna in your education. You should complain to your school.

At least it's pretty easy to learn about it on your own. Once you do you'll rarely use linear graphs anymore.

With the tiny embedded viewer, I also lost track, but on full screen, I was able to (barely) keep track of the rocket the entire time. I also assume they have a pre-computed flight path that's pretty accurate, maybe GPS on the vehicle and undoubtedly some radar tracking. In short, I can't imagine them not knowing precisely where that rocket is the entire time.

Unless something goes wrong. Well, several things.
Are you working on this by yourself?
If you know where the rocket is and where you are, it's pretty easy to calculate where to point the camera.

I'm the opposite. The idea that Clojure is just enough Lisp - that it strips down some of the syntax a bit - is one of the benefits, IMO.
this is the crux of the issue in that government policy is, in large part, based upon a private contract. neither government nor judeo-christian sects (which, if we're honest, is whom we have in view when we speak of "religion") seem to be able to grasp the full implications of this.
>Ensuring individual rights is the purpose and duty of the entire democratic process, not just the Constitution.

And when the democratic process fails to protect individual rights, the Constitution, and more specifically the Bill of Rights, is the document that explicitly enumerates what the Government may absolutely not do.

Netflix's core stuff runs on AWS but they farm out a bunch of boxes to providers and don't pay AWS for bandwidth the way normal people would.

> 3. We’re not very good at predicting customer growth or device engagement.

That really is a large part of why Netflix runs on AWS. Capacity prediction isn't something they can do reliably due to the nature of their service.

That makes sense for a video service.

For 99% of websites, you are not going to have trouble with capacity prediction on the scale of 72 hour turn around for additional capacity. Almost any DC can sell you capacity in under 48 hours and if it takes you longer than 24 hours to deploy...yeah...that is on you.
The stencil painted dialog is interesting, like a very slow forum exchange. The other graffiti artists involved contrast the calm war with their more extreme contributions. I wonder if there is meaning to them being ignored or if we just don't have those pictures to lend context to their participation in the communication.
The religious arguments made by opponents to this are disingenuous.

The Bible and many other traditional religious texts have lots of bad things to say about, say, usury (the charging of interest, or at least excess interest), yet you see nobody protesting outside credit card companies or payday lenders. I don't think I've ever heard a Christian conservative criticize our excessive level of private debt. The Catholic Church today is generally anti-death-penalty and anti-war, yet these Papal opinions do not seem to trickle down to the laity either. Christian conservatives were mostly cheerleading the Iraq invasion, though protestants did so slightly more than Catholics.

That tells me this is a proxy debate, at least for the right, and that the real issue is something else. Proxy debates happen when the real issue being debated is something that is verboten in polite discussion, or is something that's already been put to bed -- e.g. the "evolution" proxy debate which is really over teaching of religion in schools (an already settled issue).

The real reason as near as I can tell boils down to crypto-racism and eugenics concerns. If homosexuality is "okay," then that might negatively impact fertility among more "desirable" urban demographics, etc. Basically the concern is that this will negatively impact white or upper class fertility.

That stuff is verboten to talk about in polite company, thus the proxy debating.

P.S. I don't agree and am pro-equality -- I am just analyzing what I see as the real reason for all the opposition. Delve into the right-o-sphere and you immediately run into a ton of "HBD" (human biodiversity, a modern neo-racialist rebranding) type stuff.

P.P.S. I did give the parents a compensatory up-vote since I don't think down-votes should be done out of disagreement. Down-votes should be for things that are just stupid, effortless, or mean-spirited, not for opinions that are just unpopular.

If programming can be described as "making programs", metaprogramming could be described as "making programs making programs" - or something. You probably use metaprogramming every day perhaps without even noticing it.

Compared to other languages like Ruby or Python, JavaScript's metaprogramming features are not yet as advanced - especially when it comes to nifty tools like Operator Overloading, but ES6 is starting to level the playing field.

What isn't metaprogramming now?

you're conflating "Christianity" with "religion" though. it was addressed above but it bears repeating, social and religious constructs were inextricable in antiquity. the concept of separating them is fairly modern.

I've been using unsplash for a while and I was amazed the first time I used it, and am still amazed today. Enjoyed learning a little more about how they started.

I am asking how women are oppressed in western democracies.
Per the article and what I understand, there's moderately skilled work required in sourcing and perhaps adjusting the right CAM data for a complete billet -> lower receiver machining job. Plus a lot more machining involved; as I understand it, a drill press can finish an 80% receiver. But I suppose such skilled people can be persuaded to do this sort of work for a cartel.
There are guidelines for where developers are supposed to store configuration, and since Vista, it isn't in Program Files. In fact, making changes in Program Files is restricted to the System, or elevated processes. It is often times an indicator that a program is violating accepted practices if it requires elevation of privilege to run. Changes like that are supposed to be stored in the users AppData directory.

For backwards compatibility. Vista and descendants provides a virtualized space where writes to restricted directories are allowed, but they are committed to a different isolated space on the disk, preventing a rogue program from, modifying files for which it should not have access.

Neither Windows or Linux are perfect in this respect, but for a decade, Microsoft has been trying to unify how applications store user specific data and configuration. There are still ways for developers to abuse the system, but they are considerably restricted from the most glaring mistakes and in general it has gotten better with each revision.
Thanks again Kevin. We're iterating on our design and how we get these messages across. This is really useful.

"Marriage is about a contract between individuals"
Interestingly, I view it as the exact opposite. My wife and I knew of our bond together. I got married only because it was a public recognition of that bond. It was to share that bond with friends and family. It did not change our relationship or commitment at all.

As to the legal situation many have mentioned, that could have easily been covered by a will for us. It may vary by country, but a will and defacto status offer the same protection in some parts of the world. I sought legal advice when I considered my options of marriage because marriage means little to me. I think its significance to a couple's commitment is highly over rated.
Ah, so long enough for the advice to be based on real experience.

I was really surprised to see it, because it's exactly the way I was learning C. I switched to Linux around the same time, so I'd take some abandoned DOS program that had source code available and port it to Linux. During the process, I'd read the entire source code, make sure I understood it and reformatted everything. A few years later, the original author of one of the programs released a new version and thanks to my reformatting, it was pretty much impossible to merge. After a few similar experiences at work, I have decided to always stick with the original style of any code I touch, because any unnecessary changes are just going to make life harder for me in the future.
Common law is the basis for US law, and drew on pre-English tradition. Crack a liberal arts book open some time.

Taking action on both would be the logical route.
Just as well there were no laws concerning marriage before then in the United States.
That would be the difference between printing and logging

Let's keep in mind that the Supreme Court, though we rely on them to interpret the Constitution, very often does so against what the founders had intended: take the example in my other comment, Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S., where the court unanimously decided that the state can force a business to serve black people under the Interstate Commerce Clause. The Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment allows people not members of militias to own guns. This was not the intention of the Amendment. My objection to your comment is that it betrays an attitude that whatever we do with the Constitution is what was Meant To Have Been Said, when in fact the Constitution is a living, breathing document that is constantly re-interpreted to meet our current needs.

Also, I do not find your dual argument -- that the Founders made their intention clear and also convoluted their intention -- particularly convincing. The Founders made quite a few mistakes when they drafted the Constitution[0], so their veneration as authors of the document seems quite overblown.

[0] Ackerman, Bruce. "The Failure of the Founding Fathers: Jefferson, Marshall, and the Rise of Presidential Democracy"
There's no possible way this can happen. There's zero political will by two branches of government at the federal level, times 50 at the state level. And the Supreme Court can't do it on its own, because it would have to reverse itself on over a dozen cases in 100+ years specifically stating marriage is a right. And the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights considers marriage a right, Article 16.
Well I don't think there is such a thing as sexual repulsion.
I find Sublime's Cmd-Alt-↓ (goto definition) to be very useful since you jump straight to the source code for that function/class/method. When you grep you may also get all the usage instances which can be quite a lot of noise.

Those lines were part of Chapelle's skits, they were clearly a part of a joke. Michael Richard's rants weren't a part of a show or routine, it was just him shouting at a patron. It's not because he made comments about blacks, jews, or any other race. It's because there wasn't any satire to his statements, and they seemed genuine (or it appeared that way at least).
I'm sure his opponent knew.
Thank you, quite insightful and I agree on all counts. My use of the Bible quote was an attempt to cherry-pick in the same sort of way as the arguments I'm detracting. The selective re-imagining of religious texts to fit the preexisting social and ethical desires of a group of people is probably an issue as old as religion and organized civilization itself.

I don't mean that current trends are evidence against it. I mean the physics is against it being any different from dolphin kick anywhere but right at the surface. The rest of my argument was why dolphin kick isn't faster than freestyle.

Then the question is why don't they just stay within a foot of the surface? The problem is buoyancy. You have to be able to control your depth to keep from surfacing before you want to. It's hard to do that so close to the surface.
Bike helmets are complex; there's a lot of factors driving risk including reduced cyclist volume/motorist experience with cyclists when you mandate helmet laws.

Risk homeostasis affects both the cyclist and motorist as well.

Clearly helmets protect people, but studies of helmet law implementation do not support the laws.
I'm picturing footage of early NASA rocket failures if the internet had existed with real time feeds. NASA would have been portrayed as an agency that couldn't accomplish anything. Keep in mind that while SpaceX is building on the previous hard work of rocket scientists around the globe they are also pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Very impressive to watch.

How would removing rights granted by marriage and putting them under a civil union, which is what I took the parent to propose, supposed to not trigger irrational excitement of people who support marriage in it's current incarnation? You can argue that people shouldn't care if they just have to get a civil union in addition to their marriage, but we've already brought irrationality with regards to how marriage is defined into the argument as a behavior that we agree exists, so we can't ignore it now.
Some people reboot a lot more than others, too. Daily vs. every other month.
> If you get government out of the marriage business, marriage stops being a legal reality.

Not at all. There are lots of legal realities now that have nothing to do with the current marriage-specific laws, and likewise marriage could exist as a legal reality without the current marriage-specific laws.

> Any straight guy will

A small change makes your sentence more truthy: "Many straight guys will".

This isn't just a quibble. Public safety gave up using "gay men" because so many men do not identify as gay but do have sex with men. Thus, MSM is now used instead.
When you find interesting pieces of code, look at the commit that brought it to life. Commits contain precious gems of information: you'll understand what files are related, who worked on which parts of the codebase, how the commit was tested, related discussions, etc.

Some people use graphical tools to visualize a codebase (e.g. codegraph). It can help you understand what pieces of code are related to each other.
Hey, here are my thoughts:

Where do tennis players meet? Where do they hang out? Are there online/off line spots you find them hanging out at? How are these leagues formed? Where are they formed? i would answer these questions and then focus aquistion around the answers.
That sounds like discrimination in the other direction to me. In US you are given a license and you can choose who officiates that license. If you are not religious, you can have a Judge or a government official officiate your wadding. If you are religious, you are free to use a minister of your choice. This way neither side is discriminated against.

From what you are describing, in EU you HAVE to be married by a government official even if you are religious. That's the wrong attitude to take. To each their own, let the people choose.

From bureaucratic perspective the important part is that the state is aware of the "social contract" two people made between each other and there is a witness who witnessed the "execution" of that contract. That's all. Who that witness is, as long as they are trustworthy, shouldn't matter.
It has far less todo with what people want than it does with just taking what you can get. If gay couples had to wait around for the government to change the way it handles marriage they might as well just count on never having the option to join each other in a civil union.

Your ideas are great in theory but they don't really fit into the corrupt framework of modern day politics (or even throughout written history).

Most of my time was spent hacking UNIX/Networking at Uni, C/C++ and 68000 Assembly on the Amiga at home (loved Fred Fish and Matt Dillon's work). Hacking hardware peripherals designed for other computers to make them work on the Amiga. Also wrote my first C compiler and LISP interpreter then. Discovered TeX/LaTeX and used them for my thesis during my final engineering year later. Discovered magazines such as DDJ, BYTE and journals such as Comms of the ACM, IEEE Transactions, etc. and spent way too much time on level 6 and 7 of the Uni library reading them. Worked at the CSIRO during semester break and wrote an image analysis library in C and displaying in X-Window. Dreamed about having my own Tektronix oscilloscope and logic analyser :)
Your reasoning is yours alone and the anecdote can be easily hand-waved away: perhaps you're bisexual or lean more heavily towards homosexuality than most heterosexuals, thus find it less repulsive.

As for not believing in sexual repulsion - is this in regards to gender or in general?
