The only thing you've pointed to that looks anything remotely like heading toward bankruptcy is Puerto Rico, which is not a state.
I currently have to cycle my wifi several times/day. This better fix that.
For one, speed. Provisioning a VM image takes a lot longer than a container.

Secondly, composition. Can you provision and link the 10 instances that make up your application? Web servers, app servers, proxies, caches, databases, hadoop etc.

I think this second ability is the truly compelling one for me. The features that allow this (swarm and compose for docker, lots of other competing orchestration stuff) are still pretty young, but it would still push me in the direction of containerization over virtualization.

They'd both show up, and one (the HDMI option) would not function; it'd always send audio through the laptop. Can't play with it now as it's across the country.
Of course I'm aware of that, it's the reasons behind why people are posting WSJ links rather than the likes of techcrunch that I'm curious about (see my comment above).
Was the performance related work postponed?
What is happening with safari swipe to go back functionality, every time I swipe back it shows me a cached version of a page and then reloads it making it unusable and irrational, what is the point of showing a cached version for split of a second if you are going to reload it again ( happens on both iOS and OS X , Adblock is not installed)
Any chance you have either the 64GB iPhone 6 or the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus? Apple initially manufactured those using TLC NAND flash but stopped because it caused stability issues. I've had a lot of problems with mine although the iOS updates seem to be improving things.
Yeah but maybe they know how to make P=NP

So they issued under New York law to get lower interest rates (because creditors/bond buyers felt that the law gave them more security, because it made it harder for Argentina to skate on the debt).

Then Argentina defaulted. Hey, it happens. You didn't get any guarantee by buying a bond issued under New York law, you just got a better legal treatment if Argentina happened to default. But Argentina said, "We can't abide by the rules imposed on us by New York law; that's too expensive. Here's how much we can actually pay. Take it or leave it."

Most of the creditors took it. But some speculators thought that they could use New York law as a club to force Argentina to give them more money. So they bought up a bunch of Argentina's debt (at a price that was set by everybody else's expectation, which was set by what Argentina said it could actually pay, which means it was a really low price.) Then they sued Argentina, under New York law, to try to force them to pay the speculators more than they paid everyone else.

The speculators won in court. Argentina refused to pay them, but paid everyone else. The courts in the US refused to let Argentina's agent in the US pay the other bondholders, because Argentina wasn't paying the speculators what the court judgment said that they had to pay them.

I can't find much to cheer for on either side of this. Argentina made a mess of their finances by bad government, and is being stubborn. The speculators are greedy vultures.

But I note that it's really hard to force a sovereign government to pay you if they really don't want to...
Clojure is sophisticated [0] but it is hard boiled down to necessary complexity. This means that ordinary language features like interop [1] are well sugared and more abstract concepts like transducers are simple to implement and map well to their description [2]. Stuart Halloway's Programming Clojure captures this idea.

[0] and big for practical purposes like Common Lisp.

[1] you can get at all of Java perhaps better than you can from Java using the REPL.

[2] like lexical scope and continuations in Scheme.

I thought the same thing. Winning 4 out of 5 is pretty definitive -- you're going to obsess over some possible way to win the 5th all these years later?

I've heard it said that champions like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Sampras, etc. are motivated more by avoiding the feeling of loss than by than having the feeling of winning. They are motivated by negative emotions rather than positive. That jibes with this anecdote IMO.

I would probably congratulate myself on 4 out of 5, which is why I'm not a champion :)
Very impressive work. I feel like these kind of helpful error messages will become the norm within 10 years, and people will look back at coredumps, C++ exceptions, and even Ruby/Python exceptions as confusing and archaic.
Come on. They put this up against a 16. Did _anyone_ believe the 16 couldn't out maneuver the 35?
The reason is that nobody (that I know, at least) uses them. The Clojure community uses leiningen, and leiningen takes care of fetching the version of Clojure a specific project needs. There is no point in installing one version of Clojure when the core is small enough that every project can have its own.
It doesn't need to be. MS in the late 90's dominated, and you could not do work with someone using MS products unless you also used MS products. One person having an iOS device and another having an Android device does not cause any issues between the two, they are fully able to communicate by the nature of cell phones. I would bet that the lawsuits against MS would not go through if they were brought up today (and, of course, MS was still doing the same things), because it's actually possible to switch desktop operating systems without ending up unable to collaborate with your coworkers and family.
Clojure is often billed as "just another JAR" and in my experience I've never felt the need to install via any package manager. My workflow often consists of a new leiningen project where I define the version of Clojure that I want to use for the current project, along with whatever I else I need for the task at hand. Likewise, if I just need a quick repl to test something out, I'll simply use `lein repl` and fire away.
oh! I see, having this issue, sometimes my skype rings on my external display while using headphones, was quite annoying.

also don't know if my mbp retina hardware or software, but sometimes my display blinks, it also happen with my old mbp (2010) but was not till updated to mountain lion, so maybe is a software issue too? (din't check it, will wait to read some feedback about the update)
A concrete description of the product being developed. Bonus points if I can actually get a demo copy of it to play around with before applying. I'm amazed at the number of job listings filled with a lot of verbose abstract language that never gets down to the meat of what it is they'll expect you to be making.

Other than that, any mention of good coding practices (automated testing, continuous integration) or technologies that show the company is keeping up in the field and not getting too bogged down in a lot of legacy code.
It really doesn't make sense to 'install' clojure the language. Generally one would use apt to install java. Then, you'd download 'lein' the clojure build tool (which does not require a clojure 'install'), and then specify the clojure version in your project.clj file. Lein builds your project and downloads the correct clojure version.

For distributing your app, you just compile it to a JAR, and the user only needs plain old java to run it.

Greek banks bought about 15B of this Greek debt, which is over half of Greek GDP. This is likely the savings and pensions of a lot of Greek people. There will be bank runs (much worse than now). There would be looting, burning, and massive chaos.

It would be like destroying 8 trillion in people's savings in the US and just hoping it all works out. It would be a catastrophe.

Then, once this destroys the economy, getting any outside investment to help will be impossible, because no one would want to invest or loan to a place that so willingly shrugs off repayment.

This is why the situation is such a problem. Just unilaterally ignoring repayment destroys the Greek economy much worse than it is now.
Yes, it's definitely more complicated than my simplistic presentation. But the point stands, I think... nation-level financial crisis draws a certain kind of vulture capitalist who will exploit the crisis and then enforce misery at gunpoint through the long arms of compliant governments.
Same problem here. Pretty odd not to support your main desktop OS at launch.
I use a "floating hands" style that basically came from ever-optimized hunt and peck. I've clocked 140wpm, but it can take a little time to adjust to a new keyboard.

Frankly I feel my technique is probably better for RSI because I do macro movements with my forearm as supposed to stretching my fingers. I also make extensive use of "far" keys (F1-F12 for switching windows) that seem like it would be hard if my hands were stationary. I will have the occasional day where my hands get "tired", but I find this occurs when I'm being unproductive - actual coding has a much lower duty cycle.

110wpm sounds perfectly adequate to me, so I'd only try learning "proper" method if you have nothing else to do. Also, it's not like people who use "proper" method are impervious to RSI. If this is your real concern it seems like you'd be better off asking this question to the right doctor, explaining your specific hand placement / movements.

A few considerations:

1) Many arguments stem from assinging moral responsibility to the Greek people. The people who will suffer most are and will be the poor in Greece, including those on fixed incomes such as pensioners. Yet these are the people with the least power over what their government does. Drive through a poor neighborhood in your town; how responsible are those people for their national government's economic policies? It's cruel and frankly evil to impose the costs on them.

2) Making people suffer is not nearly enough of a response. Nor is saying 'their suffering is not our problem'. Those are non-responses and, I think, moral failure. The people of Germany may need other Europeans' help some day -- they got it after WWII and, for example, they expect their NATO allies to defend them, with the U.S. bearing most of the burden -- they may want to set a better precedent. EDIT: "You’ll never guess which hardline euro zone country has had its debts repeatedly forgiven"[1]

3) This is a leadership failure of the entire EU. There is no way something this critical should have gotten to this point. Part of it, I think, is the failure of EU leaders to stand up for the EU's importance. The nationalistic and xenophobic right-wing, along with Ayn Randian economic policies, are ascendent and nobody is challenging them. Thus the public sees little reason to protect the EU or those suffering in Greece.

What is happening in one second (French)
I have a 128GB iPhone 6. But I don't have stability issues with any other apps, only Podcasts seems to do it. I also don't remember it being a problem around 8.0 or maybe 8.1. It didn't start until later.
The A-10 is the exact sort of airplane they need now, so it's absolutely baffling to see people even talking about phasing these out and replacing the with the flying turkey that is the F-35.

As Iraq and Afghanistan proved, you need extremely close range support and sustained fire. The cannon on the A-10 is good enough for the sorts of targets they're dealing with, armor is rare, and it has significantly more mobility than the other best alternative, the AC-130.

What use is the F-35 when it can't linger, has extremely limited bombing capability, and can't strafe when necessary?

The A-10 is an extremely pragmatic solution to a messy problem.
I've experienced similar issues using DisplayPort. I resorted to using Soundflower to properly route the audio - except that the problem persists in such a way that soundflower crashes at least once an hour. People experience zero problems on the same hardware running windows, so it is definitely a software issue.

For those thinking that it is as simple as picking the audio from the output list - that is the desired behavior. When you select your monitor as the output, the selector successfully switches, but your audio output is lost in limbo, or continues to play through the built-in-speakers of your laptop.

OpenOnload's spinning behavior is highly tunable and disabled by default. The default profile might appear to take some more CPU cycles, but really it's the same CPU cycles that the kernel would be using to operate the network stack (but across the kernel/userspace barrier and possibly on another core/socket/numanode, etc, introducing latency).

It's a great article, but I'm surprised that the author introduces spinning and task-setting without noting CPU isolation (either with cgroups or isolcpus). Not doing so could introduce problems.

I have a similar problem. When I unplug my keyboard and monitors from my MBP, my hardware keyboard/trackpad stop working. Sometimes I can get it to work by locking the screen (using bluetooth trackpad) and "switching users" and when on that screen my hardware will start working again. But that's about 50/50. The other half of the time I have to reboot.
“What's Your Biggest Weakness?”
The Social-Network Illusion That Tricks Your Mind
To be fair, the submitted title is directly culled from the first sentence of the article:

> The bizarre nature of reality as laid out by quantum theory has survived another test, with scientists performing a famous experiment and proving that reality does not exist until it is measured.
> frequency-hopping SDR is very, very cheap now.

Which also makes broadband frequency-hopping jammers similarly cheap.
I specifically search for "remote" or "telecommute". Then I look for the technologies used to see if it's things I like working with or things I want to learn.
Just a some affirmation of the above, as I think many people would be well served to study the guidance.

My background? Both stage performance experience in music alongside academic (National Forensics League) and professional (presentation development and coaching in Fortune-level corporations) public speaking roles. Guitarist for 20 years or so, did public speaking and acting for about 10 counting high school and college, and another 5-6 working in the trenches of B2B sales (RFPs, etc) as a blend of creative / technical / team manager.

To add a bit of side-note, I'd like to point out that humor tends to be so highly subjective that it's best to avoid trying to go there (akin to avoiding pop-culture). Being clever or witty is a way to show off, in such a format, and there's no reason to try and show off when the room is already yours, practically speaking.

To me, it's a large turn-off when such deviations from the plan show up - being competent means being engaging, and through engagement the audience will appreciate the presentation for what it is doing / trying to convey.

Allowing questions during a presentation is not preferred, but if presenting to a potential client, sometimes inevitable. I use the phrase "bus out of nowhere" to try and prepare people to be able to handle a difficult or even insulting question without totally losing footing. It's like a car crash, just let it happen in slow motion, hang on, and don't make any sudden moves to go in a different direction...just get through the question, avoid trying to be clever or witty in response, and get back to the script.

I think Willie Nelson also had a relevant piece of advice regarding performing, in that it's good to get some practice in, but don't over-work something to the point of it being robotic. The performance should have some of that liveliness that comes from knowing something well but walking the line of risking that a mistake could happen...that's what can be so compelling about a great speaker, there's a mix of energy, competence, and human nature that gets people to tune in.
I've found a fast way to 'reset' the audio ins/outs is with `sudo pkill coreaudiod`-- stops audio for 1 second but I can always get the right device selected afterwards.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this and working on it. My github account hasn't been active very much over the past year, but the docker fundamentals are there.

I would love to find the time to modernize in the context of machine/swarm/compose.

One of the thoughts[1] was using docker volumes as sophisticated pipes to other docker processes, allowing for a different kind of blog/publish/editor workflow while being agnostic in tools (blog engine, editor [web or some other mechanism]) for how the content is actually created.

Needless to say, there are many aspects of Docker I find really powerful, and I particularly delight in taking an existing workflow and modernizing it in that context.

Long winded context, but, suffice to say, a 4sec turnaround time would be way too long for me personally. I know first hand as well as through all of the talks on Docker out there it is possible to get near realtime updates of your app in local dev.

Glad to see discoveryd is toast. That's a big win and hopefully it's a symptom that some manager on the OS X team is starting to notice how sloppy development has gotten in the last few years.

Also, the "right to root or jailbreak" you're referring to is just an exemption from DMCA liability if you do it (and correspondingly, agreement from the Copyright Office that it doesn't appear to be a copyright infringement when you do it for certain purposes). But if nobody finds a way to root or jailbreak a certain device, its users are still out of luck -- and if a manufacturer wants to sue jailbreak developers (who aren't protected by the DMCA exemption) or even users under some other theory, it can still try to do so.

So there might be some further tooth-and-nail fighting in users' future.
