We will relocate folks, so if you ever considered living in LA we’ll convince you that it’s the greatest city to live in.
Yeah I think this goes into the category of:

Patient: "Doctor, when I bend my arm backward, it hurts!"

Doctor: "Stop doing that."

Doesn't mean that using your arm is a bad idea.
I think I have stories from all my games. Utopia - plotting against the 4-500 people strong enemy alliance by building a network of 2-300 loosely connect people with various interests, balancing various alliances and allegiances, trading together a team of 25 dedicated team mates, racing for the top but being pulled down by trying to manipulate one alliance too many. And doing it again next 2 month round.

EQ - pulling all PoF bosses without touching any trash mobs, swimming through lava with a one hit kill boss behind me to save time, spending 3-4 hours with 70 other people to clear council of rathe, progressing from killing dragons in the ice zone to clearing plane of time, aoe kiting an entire zone... (Eq bard is still the best designed class I saw in any game)

UO - getting an order for 200 suits of coloured ore, working to complete it like mad for 2 weeks and being robbed by a bug in the new stealth feature just before completing the sale... Hitting GM smithing, buying a tower with 3 friends, exploiting blade spirits for resists forever... First time buying a house (just north of Minoc)

QWCTF - first time winning a clan game by timing quads perfectly on e1m2 for a full map (I could still run that map in my sleep), taking on and beating a clan miles better than us by playing from the same room, playing a match entirely with the boom stick in a clan game and still typing kills, the feeling of flying into a base with perfect grapple moves despite two guards with ro and str/res runes, the feeling of bouncing along on the long stretches of e4m3 with floor grapple speed jumps...

All of that more than 10 years ago and still vivid memories for me.
I assume you're meaning the message on the first slide? Hit the right arrow on your keyboard.
Google drive? Add all the photos to a folder, set the sharing permission to "anyone with the link" (or your parent's google accounts).
So you think if the rules around what it means to be 1099 were relaxed that employers would all band together to take away employee rights? Would market forces then not kick in to push up 1099 contractors rate to cover any needed expenses?

It seems we're intervening with the free market where it's not needed.

Sometimes the "highest standard" is subjective, more regulation doesn't mean better regulation. Regulation, as expressed through licensing, also happens as a means to protect industry incumbents. Should the current most stringent taxi licensing be extended across multiple countries? What about cosmetology licenses[1]? It's a non-trivial issue to dissect what laws are worth keeping and what laws aren't, as there are people affected positively or negatively whichever way you go. It's a complex issue.

So if a typical BSD sysadmin would set up a Rails website, would he create one jail for the application server, one jail for the SQL server, then set up firewall rules so that the app server could reach the SQL server and that traffic to the host would be forwarded to the app server?

Also in the U.S. almost all major groceries likewise use signs on the shelf to display price, and the cashier reads the bar code to retrieve it at checkout.

The actual reason is a lack of sufficient pressure to change this practice.

The Little Singleton
As a "conservative Republican" since the Nixon era (didn't know why it was important that he beat HHH and George Wallace in '68, knew why it was and still is important that he beat McGovern in '72), I can say in short that we don't support these things.

Why does the Republican leadership support them? At the more reductionist level, I've seen it best described as a "donor riot"; rather obviously the interests of the wealthy who identify as Republican are different that the base (and this is one reason why the Emmanuel Goldsteining of the libertarian Koch brothers strikes us as bizarre, then again they've got some truly dangerous thoughts).

At a more general level, these "establishment" Republicans are, or aspire to be, members of the ruling class. We of the base obviously aren't, and I don't think many of us aspire to be.

"Offend" is a good word, we are mightily offended by all this. But there's only so much we can do short of, say, starting a 3rd party that's successful enough to either threaten the Republican party such that it adopts our positions, or replace it like it replaced the Whigs (or there's a thesis that the Democratic party will die since its war on arithmetic means it will eventually fail to keep its promises, the Republican party will replace it as the party of the state, and the 3rd party becomes the natural opposition). Short of that, we can withdraw our votes, which has a strictly limited effect in the Congress, and we can and have withheld our money, which gets us back to that donor riot.

Ah, I should note there's always been a non-conservative faction in the Republican party. Its abolitionist roots were in opposition to the conservative nature of the Whigs, remember the trusting busting and imperialism of Teddy Roosevelt, and the north-east wing in general is much less conservative. Think of Nelson Rockefeller who opposed conservative Goldwater, not so conservative Nixon, and was Ford's first VP. Or former governor of Massachusetts and "severe conservative" Mitt Romney (hint, that's the first and last time I've every heard someone use the word "severe" like that).

Yeah I agree but my point is none of what you are talking about has anything to do with O(), which doesn't attempt or claim to do what you want to do.

It's like someone gave you a hammer and you're saying it's broken because it doesn't cut wood very well. It's not designed for that.
For criticising both Labour and the Conservatives? I was wrong about Labour being any better (see my other post) but the conspiracy theories are unnecessary and unhelpful.
Just curious, what does this offer that cloudflare's pro plan doesn't?
The big win for me is that it cuts down log noise from ssh brute force attempts. Used with pf/netfilter you get even less. I'm not sure of getting FreeBSD nightly security reports that freeze a mail client for a few seconds as they render and sshguard cuts that down to a manageable block message.
A second point would be that China's consumer class is booting up. The US wants to position itself to sell into that, effectively to reverse the trade deficit.

Not entirely the same. React forces the template into a single render function. In this case the whole code is about element rendering. Presentation layer generating code can be anywhere, that's why I think it's messy.

Of course some might like it for some use cases.
For all the shit I give C# (some of my complaints are getting better with everything becoming open source), it's still by far my favorite language. I picked it up when Visual Studio 2008 was relatively new and coming from PHP and C++ (to ASP.Net/C#) was very eye opening and though I had a lot of learning problems because of webforms, the core C# language definitely has me captured.

C# is my "not quick one off" language. When I want a one-off, I use Ruby because it's quick and easy... but when I need more than 1 file and I'll be dealing with lots of classes and complications that come with that, give me C#.

I've tried getting to know Rust, but despite my love for it's core ideas and syntax I just can't get into it for the projects I've had. Most of my projects don't tend to be things where I care about strict memory requirements or ridiculous performance. I mainly just want something that works good enough for my own use.

I also tried Go, but I quickly left that when I found it had no generic support and the community is basically anti-functional constructs, preferring pure procedural stuff instead.
There's been several carefully crafted changes to the language of American politics over the past twenty-five years and "citizen" has been replaced by "taxpayer" [1] as the relevant political constituency. Since corporations ostensibly pay taxes, their personhood has been lifted. Likewise, since wealthy individuals tend to pay more taxes on an absolute basis (despite an increasingly regressive system) their interests within the constituency of taxpayers are also lifted.

[1]: The case for "taxpayers" has been assisted by the language of "victim's rights" wherein people first accepted the idea that some citizens should have higher status before the law than others. Using the idea that paying taxes is a form of theft, taxpayers establish their victimhood and by an extension a privileged interest over ordinary citizens in matters concerning taxation. The obverse of the coin is "consumer rights" wherein buying "Little Plastic Shit" is seen as a high form of social engagement and the primary civic duty of ordinary Americans.
Worker killed by robot at Volkswagen factory
Thank you. I hear suicide referred to as "selfish" so often that I can hardly understand what it means.

Ascribing value judgements on people suffering from very personal diseases doesn't help and may actually prevent folks with suicidal ideations from getting help.

If you think that telling a clinically depressed person that what they're thinking about doing is "selfish" is going to "snap them out of it" then I'd recommend you do some soul searching.

OpenTable

We've got a ton of job openings; mostly in the Node.js space, but also for .Net engineers, Devops, front-end engineers, DBAs, non-node JS devs. Pretty much everyone.

I joined 4 or 5 months back and am very happy here. SF Office has a great nerdy culture; lots of tech talks, hosted meetups, engineer-friendly policies (sane WFH, good vacation, 20% policy, 'boyscouting' (fixing code unrelated to what you're working on) is encouraged). I very much enjoy working here, and I think most engineers would too.

What about if one country wants to highen their standards in a certain area, will all the countries that signed up then immediately have to follow? Won't the other countries bully the first one to stay to the status quo?

Also, are there really always such a thing as 'highest standard'? Couldn't it be that more often than not, the rules aim for opposing values?
I’m not a fan of the tone of this article, at least the first half or so. Its got something of a “if you hadn’t read Infinite Jest before Wallace died then you aren’t a true fan” vibe to it.

Is it really such a terrible thing that people who hadn’t heard about DFW while he was alive are seeing and enjoying his This Is Water speech? I think it does a good job of describing how easy it is to fall into a pattern of letting the world around you control how you feel on a minute-to-minute basis. Yeah he ties the whole idea up too neatly, but it’s a commencement speech not a long form essay.

Sure, there are probably plenty of people out there putting DFW up on a “tortured artist too brilliant for this world” pedestal. But I think the author isn’t giving people enough credit to assume that is the only reason for his recent popular appeal. Maybe people stumbled upon the This Is Water video, watched it, and it inspired them to think a bit differently about their own thought process and feelings.

You don’t need to have consumed everything an artist has produced to be inspired by one of them.
I've tried Angular and Firebase for a few small protoypes, it's incredibly fast to create something to present. I really like the User authentication.

Are you currently using both in production, do you have maybe an link to your app?

We're building a digital solution for office management, digitalizing a market that hasn't moved much in the past 40 years.

Technologies used: Angular.js, Node.js, Express.js, Heroku, PostgreSQL, AWS, Salesforce, lots of quirky CSS3. Looking at React, React-Native, LoopBack.js

I maintain a project that compiles as both C++11 and C++03. One pain point is that the headers have changed between them: #include <tr1/memory> to #include <memory>. This is complicated further by libc++, which doesn't have <tr1/memory>.
Ultimately, this is what art is. You need to go with what you love. 'logical argument' often just is a euphemism for rationalizing your convictions after the fact. You can't paint if you try to analyze every brush stroke. Let the subconscious flow.
> Operational Complexity: Tooling is still immature, but my instinct tells me that even with better tooling, the low bar for skill is higher in a microservice environment.

Seems like most of the tooling now focuses on automating small parts of dev and ops teams' workflows, instead of looking at the larger picture of organizational tooling. I would guess that in a few years we'll see a lot more PaaS-workflow solutions focused on abstracting away a lot of the operational complexity of microservice architectures, reducing the barrier to entry for "maturity" of dev/ops teams, just like AWS & co reduced the need for people to really understand server hardware.
The problem is that what passes for intellectual thought on the internet is pretty much just fashion. I think "hit pieces" and "edgy" are just hot now for whatever reason. Vice seems to have made a good go with "edgy" material and others have followed. I imagine DFW is an easy target for millennials not terribly impressed by the 90s or whatever Gen-X was supposed to be back then.

I'm surprised by the vitriol in this thread as well. DFW has always been kinda an interesting but somewhat boring smart guy and never this politicized character or self-help guru the article makes him or his legacy out to be.

I also think these calls for being a conservative really reflect the extremist leftist times we are in. DFW was something of a liberal moderate and sometimes played up the positive side of traditionalism. Nowadays, in the age of "trigger warnings", tumblr brigading, outrage politics, and mindless social media; being anything but a leftist revolutionary who hates everything is a liability. DFW never sought to toss the baby out with the bathwater and that's an unforgivable sin today it seems.

We've also seen it hugely succeed time and again, with software like Open Office and Blender, and the vast cottage communities set up around open sourced video game engines.

It's pretty simple: if the software is unique and offers good enough utility, people will jump on it. If it's open sourced as abandonware, it will probably remain abandonware.
I'd say say that homo sap is on the list of worse behaved apes than Gorillas. Chimpanzees and Gibbons will tear off your face, but it is a big mistake to suppose animals are in a lower ethical state than humans, as animals don't

* have 20 cops beat up one suspect
* deal crack
* attack people with assault rifles out of hate
* invent poison gas
* find demeaning labels for one another, etc.

Look at animal behavior and it seems that animals are basically rational in that they do things in the social space that raise their utility function. This is not so clear in the case of humans (an herbivore will always express satisfaction if you feed it, a human might not.)
Not sure. As a programmer, it's harder to evaluate if you use autocompletion, for example.

I recently switched to Ruby after writing C# for 8 years. There's a lot I miss, the tooling is best in class, and the language is very well thought through. I might go back some day.
