Based on the changes in 0.9.1, there's no way that 0.9 was production ready and I'd be very cautious about using it.

Because right now those fired employees still _need_ to work, so they apply somewhere else. Even the most incompetent eventually get past the filters and gum up someone else's operation. So we have a cycle in which we harden the filters (e.g. day-long interviews for programming jobs) which makes life worse for everyone involved.

If those bad employees could self select the "good enough" lifestyle provided by a basic income, we could reduce all the overheads associated with trying to protect workplaces from them.
We should all be doing good on this one if we have been practicing making our test cases are red first before turning them green :D

Bullshit. The Trans-Saharan and East African/Indian Ocean slave trade pre-dated and post dated the Atlantic one. Slaves, gold and ivory were the only trade goods Africa had that were worth trading across those distances and the slave trade was an African invention. Slavery has been completely normal for the vast majority of human history.

This is not to say that the Atlantic slave trade wasn't incredibly destructive, unusually pervasive and far reaching, but the idea that the fault was entirely with the West is a ridiculous denial of the agency of every African individual and political unit that took part in it.

Anyone in law enforcement is in the business of destroying lives. They don't protect people (you can't really, in a free society), they punish people after the fact in an attempt to reduce antisocial/immoral/"impure" behavior. Doing their jobs correctly and with moral forthrightness is making absolutely sure the lives they destroy are lives that deserve to be destroyed. But as it turns out they are human and want to keep their jobs so they inevitably focus on "winning" cases -- that is, not failing to destroy lives, rather than being appropriately cautious with the power they are given.

Cartoonish villians? No. It's more the opposite; they think of themselves as cartoonish superheroes and have a hard-on for "punishing the wicked", and often forget that the wicked aren't always so wicked and maybe the extreme and brutal punishment associated with even being touched by the US justice system isn't appropriate -- but why give up a case you can win and tank your career? The guy in the cubicle next door is happy to get the commendation and promotion if you won't take it.
Looking at my result there, seems to be something I need to start doing. TIL :P

To be fair, I did check 3/6/12 - just to make sure it was double and not powers of two. Guess that's the articles point though isn't it!
Having a gross profit is not the same thing as making money on every car sold because gross profits don't include a whole bunch of per-unit costs like sales staff, shipping, after-sales support, repairs and recalls, etc - basically, any costs incurred after the moment the car rolls off the production line aren't included.
Trust me, the idea that the prestige currently offered by today's journals might move to an entirely different venue is a top concern.

I'm not convinced that betting your business on the idea of curation (ie prestige) is a bad one, although I suppose I'd agree that betting a business on the idea of paywall journals as the mechanism of that prestige bestowment isn't wise.
>Use of image-only icons/buttons that have no distinctive meaning

There's nothing worse than this, along with no alt-text on web pages. With font-icons being so common nowadays, designers want to remove all text and revert back to hieroglyphics.
I've love to know a scenario where OLE is actually used today.

Does it play no part in all of the [Clojure/Python/other langauge]-in-Excel posts that tend to get a decent number of upvotes here?

Maybe I'm mistaken about that - but it could have powered the kind of uber-notebook-in-Emacs packages that seem to be gaining popularity lately - twenty years ago.
This feels like one of those articles that the people who need to read it never will; developers who don't care to improve their craft, and are churning out software to check off some box in a list of features demanded by management.
Your monthly bill is more or less the same every month, right? Then how did you ignore the fact that your "total due" for 6/1 was artificially low due to the misapplied payment?
Soylent Expands Its Beta Program
Your comments are not representative of someone that read the article.

Arcades as a social environment was not stressed in the article. On top of that, 15' x 15' rooms were never mentioned in the article. That is currently the dimensions that the Vive allows for. There is nothing that says that virtual interactions could not also happen within an arcade.

Again what is with the 15' x 15' rooms?

Never once does it suggest that arcades should use consumer grade tech and in fact that is the complete opposite of what the article says.

I think you have a vision of what a VR arcade is and that influenced your thought process. Most of the points that you argue are of your own construction.

It depends on the system. I've had installs where I had to enable execution, remote execution, and unsigned execution. Other systems run network-based scripts without any complaint.
Ellen Pao didn't become interim CEO until November 2014, and it took a while still to start enacting her plan... So its not that odd that this was finally the one that broke the camels back, considering the timeline of who's been CEO when.
The first step is prohibitive to most teenagers without a bankroll of some sort, be it a savings from part-time work earlier in their life, parents, investors, or whatever.

That said, solid internet access (sometimes even free) is becoming more and more bountiful as time goes on; so I think that issue of 'move to where the internet is' will slowly fade.
I think "admitted" is an unfair characterization. Experts and leaders from all over the world were telling the Greek government that their projections on economic growth, on which their paper solvency depended, were unrealistically high.
That's obvious and I didn't just fall off the turnip truck today. It's not even a concern for me as I don't drink, smoke or use drugs... not as a moralism bumpersticker thing, just not a fan and impaired judgement isn't wise.

There are a couple of these jackasses living in vans whom live like animals, get high and generally make things harder for everyone else, but they don't last long. They're in a minority because the majority are retired guys. There are some retired gals, some younger mostly guys but very few female vehicle dwellers generally.

The key employee was Victoria Taylor, Director of Communications who was fired without notice.

Discussion here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3bw39q/why_ha...

One can only speculate on the grounds for such swift termination, but this and the handling of the recent subreddit evictions suggest that Reddit has difficulty with PR (certainly ironic in this case)...

Maybe Reddit is trying to pivot, perhaps into something more like Digg?
This looked like a puzzle I had seen before, so I assumed this was the case (testing a few sequences just to verify) and turned out right.

I guess the conclusion is that if a problem looks suspiciously like one you've encountered before, there's a good chance that they are the same or similar. The world is self-organizing, not completely random where you must obsessively second-guess your accumulated wisdom.
Device.js
The new Raspberry Pi 2 which is $35 can run Windows 10 IoT. It has 1 GB of RAM, a quad-core 900 MHz CPU, and typically consumes around 0.3 watts (0.9W on a heavy load). And Microsoft's giving away Windows IoT for free.

Considering that most desktop boxes consume 200 to 400 watts typically, the cost of Pi could be recovered fairly quickly in the saved electric costs.

I put my github on my resume, and my projects and open source contributions are at the top. But then, my bachelor's isn't in CS.
Prestige isn't curation. Curation is a genuine functional benefit, but it is one that is getting cheaper year on year. Prestige is really just the upmarket term for cool, and cool is flightly.

edit - another way of putting it, is if curation is what is being relied upon, then they seriously run the risk of being popcornTimed
Shameless plug for Voat.co and the subVERSE that has been tracking all of these happenings in great detail, if you are interested in more information: https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit

Do you think they are really under-represented, or simply proportionally represented? 3/4ths of Californians live in on of the three big coastal metropolitan areas. The other quarter of the people are spread out over an area as large as Spain.
"Good lawyers who only take on cases they can win" doesn't exclude corruption. They are very talented and they know how to win in court; all you've claimed is that they are powerful, not that they are not corrupt, and in fact usually power and corruption go hand in hand.

And I think it's equally as feasible to suggest they give up the money in private practice for the power, not out of some moral calling. Federal prosecutors/investigators are some of the most powerful people in this country; they can destroy lives at will with a single glance. That is attractive to many kinds of people, some of whom aren't well-meaning selfless volunteers.

If you want civicly minded people look to the public defender's office, that's full of heroes who do the right thing without high pay or wielding enormous power, just the satisfaction of knowing they may have helped save innocent lives.
> "unless there's something missing from your description."

I love how your assumption jumps to them missing something vs. you missing something.

My understanding was this is simply dynamically plugging in your personal information into a template - which you are providing (as opposed to actually picking and choosing language and terms).

You might have legal tunnel vision looking for the extreme possible interpretations, versus what the average user interprets. This landing page is not a legal document, it is a sales page, and a pretty clear one at that...

"Some users logged issues about a large number of IOPS during heavy write loads. To address this we implemented a write ahead log, or WAL. No migration is required to take advantage of this feature and it is available as soon as you upgrade. It’s worth noting here that if you are testing a high write load scenario, you will get occasional pauses of up to 3 seconds during WAL flushes (depending on hardware and schema). Set your timeouts accordingly. We’ll work on smoothing this out over time in future 0.9 point releases."

This is a pretty major change and a big caveat!

I still have my original Kernighan and Ritchie. When I went to the bookshop there where two books, K&R and a Byte book on C. I used to remember many of the pages numbers of things I looked up a bit. Next I moved on to help files. I made my own CHM files or scabbed them.
Now we have google, why not. I agree with the point. I use python all day now but still do a bit of JS and use google for the same things, size, len, .len(), .size, len(x).

They will go out of business in a few years because they failed to adapt, and we won't really miss them. If they 'can't afford' $164 once a decade what are they paying their employees? Certainly not a living wage. So they have high churn and nobody working there really cares about the business, its just another low paying job and unemployment is falling. These companies are mismanaged, they didn't budget when times were good for when things go south. I feel no pity when someone has to adjust their standard of living to a level that the majority of the planet would die for. Don't fall for the sob stories, its there so they take home more of the profits that you generated. Instead build a start up and blow their antiquated business model out of the water.

Related Protip: If you go to a bank/doctors office or anywhere else that wants a large amount of personal data from you, don't give it to them if they are still running XP. (If enough people did this all of the sudden it would become affordable)

It speaks volumes about the debate in an anecdotal fashion that the very same page of comments (https://www.mailpile.is/blog/2015-06-15_Community_License_Fe... — linked from the main announcement) has both:

RMS himself: "Both of these licenses qualify as free/libre; neither of them is unethical. Given a choice between two ethically valid options…"

some anti-GPL person: "The GPL irritates me -- mostly because of RMS's "this is the only answer" attitude"

I could go on about this, but just think about it for yourself. Don't be that foolish person making up straw men.

Green Hills Software [http://www.ghs.com/] | Santa Barbara, CA

We're hiring for multiple teams, both in Santa Barbara and worldwide:
[http://www.ghs.com/jobs.html]

I'll put in a plug for my own team of Embedded Software Consultants. We're
called the "support" department, but we don't field calls about "my cup holder
is broken." We're much more likely to have someone turn compile 20K lines of
C++ code with optimizations for the first time and have them tell us there's a
bug in the compiler; but in reality their program has some undefined behavior
that happens to behave differently with optimizations on -- and it's our job to
find it! (Once we discovered that the code needed three volatile keywords
added, on two lines of code!)

If you thrive on troubleshooting software problems and designing creative
solutions, enjoy learning about new technology, and want to jump in and save
customers in desperate need of a hero, this is the job for you!

Job Requirements:

* Learn and understand the inner workings of complex software systems

* Quickly diagnose technical problems with limited information

* Succinctly explain complex technical concepts to experts from other technical domains

* At least 2 years experience programming in high-level languages, C, and C++

Full-time, onsite, and we can arrange a visa as needed.

To apply please email your resume to jobs@ghs.com.
Actually, since this is a pseudonym, I've had sex in public a several times and never had a problem. In fact, it was in one of (Saratoga, Los Gatos, Los Altos) wealthy communities of mostly residences that have little real crime, and locations were even suggested by the police (no they weren't filming). We even asked what they would do, they indicated there would generally not be a ticket unless it were somehow indecent (visible to others) and they just make sure it is consensual. It might've been the luxury sportscar at the time or the hot girl might've had something to do with police being extra helpful. (Btw the hot girl broached the questions, hilariously.)

It would be different, for say two shabby-looking folks going at it in Venice, CA in front of a street during the daytime. But a hot couple, at night, in some remote location in a safe area isn't going to raise eyebrows, especially if no one notices. It just goes to show there are layers of socioeconomic biases, plus not all homeless people are given feedback, care or are aware of what's considered acceptable by others.

Perhaps the core issue is should necessary biological functions (and common, strongly desired needs that others are able to fulfill) be disproportionally criminalized based on socioeconomic and other biases? (For most men, sex is a strong motivating drive... which is why the Netherlands includes it in public benefits.). There might be a "time and a place," but people whom have nothing need equal access to water, food, sanitation and whatever else can be afforded to make their lives a little more comfortable. (A society is judged on how it treats...)
Your reference [1] confused me because most of the books I saw were about code and design patterns, or books by Tufte. I also didn't realize what DoET meant, on first glance.

Careful about installing Influxdb and Telegraf on the same system via RPM (maybe DEB too), they both share common paths and filenames, and cause one (or the other) not to start.

Also, the changelog items for telegraf all point at influxdb issues.

I am really excited about telegraf, but am worried about long term maintenance of yet another stats collector. It is very easy to setup, and seems like it will be quiet easy to extend.
Oops, pattern matching fail. I get it now. Sorry!
The reasoning also does not make sense at all to me. Making secure email popular is hard enough without restrictive licensing. At this point almost no-one cares about this problem and even fewer about this solution. I donated money to the project and considering the goal behind the project is to make e-mail secure, allowing liberal reuse of components in commercial projects seems very desirable as a way to spread the concept. However, they just made this impossible by choosing AGPLv3.
I would say that the real value of your work could be measured with something like pagerank: basically if your work is eventually cited, it's prestigious.

What the journals maybe provide is prestige before your work has been widely cited, plus publicity. Even if the article is on arxiv, more people will take a look if you say it will soon be published in, say, Cell. Maybe they shouldn't even bother publishing- just have a list of articles which they would publish if they actually bothered to do so.

The picture doesn't do it justice. In a telescope, at low-mid magnification, you could see both planets at once during the conjunction yesterday. The brightness difference was astounding, far greater than what any picture could show. Venus was almost annoyingly bright, this blazing white form with the brightness of a distant welding torch, whereas Jupiter was its usual mellow pale butter-yellow, like a paper lantern with a wax candle inside. Both had about the same apparent size, with Jupiter round as usual, while Venus had a very pronounced crescent.

It really shows their different distances to the Sun, and the very different amounts of illumination they receive.
This doesn't seem to work right for negative numbers. The article says the rule is "each number must be larger than the one before it", but if you try -2 -4 -6 it says that pattern doesn't match the rule.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic here, but last I checked -6 was larger than -4.
So.
