Clean rooms that work with semiconductors use light-sensitive photoresists. I've always dealt with yellow windows and yellow covers over the lights, though in theory pink would accomplish the same thing: keeping blue light off the wafers while you're working with them.

The concept is not at all dissimilar to old-fashioned darkrooms in photography. Outside light will wash out your image.

There is currently some debate about how common these very multiple systems are. It is pretty well known now that about 40-50% of systems are single stars, about 40-45% of systems are binary systems, about 10% are triple systems, and around a few percent are quadruple systems. But it doesn't seem to be well known what fraction of systems are quintuple systems or larger, firstly because they are intrinsically rare, and secondly because the fifth star is usually very hard to find (it tends to be both faint and distant). It seems as though this fraction is probably around 1 percent, maybe a little less. A few years ago it was thought that the fraction of systems with different hierarchies followed a geometric series, but this doesn't seem to be borne out any more as the statistics have improved.

Do you have an example of a large web application that uses just jQuery and tries to achieve single-page-application type UI?

I ask because I'm a backend (Django) dev looking at upping my frontend chops (having previously used jQuery and ajax to glue things here and there), and I'm overwhelmed by the choice of frontend frameworks at the moment. I'd love to see how a big jQuery project is set up.

Particularly terrified of making a time investment and finding out that my chosen framework is no longer the hotness of the week. Because, support and community and stable API's count.
That would mean that with 7nm process once could fit ~136000 (68000*2) M68ks in its original dye. Mind-boggling.
AMC has been doing this too. They found their viewers liked horror, so they created the walking dead. They found that their saturday night viewers liked westers, so they made Hell on Wheels.

It can tell you what to make in broad strokes but it won't make quality TV.

I think the worst example of this was Netflix's Marco Polo. It very clearly stitched together several genres, presumably based on netflix viewer data.

That isn't all that different than what broadcast executives do. Look at ratings and make similar shows.

IMO if is only component based your site/web app its better Polymer or React, Angular is mv-ish, when the 2 first you can use as you want, never tried Polymer but seems cool (its from Google so don't expect something that is easy to use xD), and with React I don't like it b/c their way that it manages the DOM, but works like a charm. Aurelia, never heart about it, there are others out there, if you wanna play I just started using on personal projects jsblocks, but if you need a stable and mature lib don't try it.

About libs ES6 I don't recommend right now, b/c not all the browsers support it and will be a nightmare to make it compatible with IE browsers.

Maybe you need to make a component prototype in each of those and see which fit better to your project and the one you think more comfortable.

Equational reasoning extends to mutation as long as you track the monad. It also smoothly devolves into Hoare Logic. It's the same tool, just applied in either different (monadic) contexts.

Mutation is not disallowed in PFP, by the way! You can write a perfectly great Timsort that's pure. You just can't pretend that your mutation effects are not observable when they are. (And you can use monads as type cues when that occurs).

Bitbucket seems cheaper than CodeCommit if you have repositories under 2GB. However, once you get over this size, for example with lots of binaries, Bitbucket stops being an option and CodeCommit looks very interesting.

GitHub doesn't explicitly states that they will disable pushing once the repository size crosses a threshold, but I don't think that they will allow multi-gigabyte repositories either.
"It's a structural Greek problem, not a German one."

If that's so... and I generally agree it is... then why do people keep lending them money? Or perhaps rather, "lending" them money?

I actually find that a rich and interesting question not amenable to snap answers. But it doesn't make anybody involved look very good or ethical. Call it old fashioned of me, but neither borrowing money that you basically know you can't be paid back, nor lending money you basically know can't pay back, is very ethical. (Perhaps that's why the discussions about who's at "fault" keeps going around so viciously... the answer isn't "A XOR B", the answer is the union of everybody involved.)

Looking at the changes that introduced the bug, it's obvious that the nature of the problems being solved is too complex for the changes to be only "visually" reviewed. There must be enough external tests to "uncover" the potential issues. And the tests of course can have the bugs too, not covering what needed to be covered. That's why for so sensitive code the testers should be the best programmers with additional preference to search for the combinations that don't work as intended.

Countries with much worse pensions than Greece are being asked to bail out much more lavish Greek pensions — it is both moral hazard and injustice. Let's keep everybody fed and work on the medical aspect, too, and figure out how to make the Eurozone fair, which could be a minimum pension / benefit level of the lowest country, adjusted for local prices to other countries, and if you want something above that you can't demand that poorer nations pay for it.

And at least in one of those cases I had some other friends basically email me later and saying "the guy is suicidal"."

Is there any way to integrate this with ECS? That would be a great feature for me.
I don't think that's an accurate view of things, the causal chain goes the other way. Banks had to be recapitalized because of the PSI, because the Greek default wiped them out. The bailouts were directly caused by the default. And in any case, they had no choice: without the Evil Bank Bailouts Greece would have been left literally without a banking system, that's not really an option.
> But the problem is they are killing the source of that content. Those cheap old shows were produced by networks. If netflix kills TV nobody is going to license them content.

Having been with Netflix since before it even supported streaming, as well as through the whole streaming period, the catalog has lost a lot of high-quality back catalog (and is less successful at acquiring new third-party content), in part because content owners are trying to monetize their content through other channels, including their own streaming services. Netflix could live off third-party back catalog content as long as it was essentially alone in the streaming space -- which only lasted as long as that mechanism was a relatively unproven business model.

Note that the exact same thing happened to HBO, which, before it started making original content, was essentially the cable-era version of what Netflix was before it started making original content. But once there were other cable movie channels, HBO needed unique content that it didn't have to get into price wars with other channels -- since these bidding wars meant that the profit was squeezed out of HBO (or the competing channel) to the content owner.

> But I'm not sure that Netflix's subscriber base is signed up for Netflix becoming another HBO.

Short of price-managed mandatory streaming license system, Netflix becoming another HBO was guaranteed if Netflix was successful in demonstrating that streaming was a viable way of delivering the kind of content it was carrying. Content owners were never going to fail to maximize their profits.
Greece is the 5th oldest nation on earth demographically speaking. That's a lot of old people collecting pensions.

Here's an example of the problem with that though: a mailing[0] by someone in February of this year asking if there's a formal grammar for the DNS zone (master) file format. This is a format that was first loosely specified in a RFC almost 32 years ago and there still isn't a rigorous definition. BIND now specifies a defacto interpretation with lots of liberal "treat this as a warning" options[1] and new gTLDs registries now insist on a subset of the original specification.

HTTP also has corner cases that widely-used implementations simply aren't handling consistently because the original RFCs are vague or the ideas being conveyed are buried in even older RFCs that nobody has the incentive to drill in to, or simply aren't known to them.

IMHO the IETF really should move to a wiki format, where information and wording changes on a particular protocol can be seen in one place. Plaintext snapshots of particular versions could still be published.

I feel your pain. Job expectations for front-end work (and, no doubt, other tech areas) have grown terribly incoherent. It seems like a lot of companies expect new hires to train themselves into unicorns on their current employer's time, when they could just hire someone now and give them a decent amount of time to ramp up instead.
It's nothing to do with "picking on" Germany. Merely pointing out that immediately after they went out and did this, and destroyed their own country in the process, they got really favorable terms to rebuild. And now they're insisting on harsher terms for others.

Why did Germany deserve better terms after their adventures? Or if it's not a matter of deserving them but just a purely pragmatic question of those terms being useful to avoid a future catastrophe, why doesn't that pragmatism apply here?
In the US, most people just know the viral video of it and don't realize it's actually from a show

Additionally, Vanguard is making money through securities lending which is also proportional and can offset much or all of the expense ratio.

"In 2012 securities lending enhanced annual fund returns by more than 1 basis point for over 60% of Vanguard's participating funds, by more than 5 basis points for nearly a third of funds, and by more than 10 basis points for over 15% of funds."
When you drastically cut government spending in a depressed economy the GDP takes a nosedive. Greece's GDP dropped by a staggering 25%. That's the equivalent of a 4.25 trillion drop in GDP for the US. So the government spending that remains is large compared to the GDP that remains. But of course the cuts were still massive.

The percentage of GDP that's called "government" is pretty malleable. There's no real difference between a for-profit railroad monopoly that depends on government subsidies, and a nationalized railway system. But in one case the railroad is classified as private industry, in the other case as government spending. This applies throughout the economy. For instance, the work US military contractors do would be considered government work in Europe. So you can't simply compare the government-to-GDP ratios between countries.

When it comes to austerity the issue is the change in government spending, not the size of the government. The sudden change is what shocks the economy. Government spending in Greece went down by a lot, services got cut, salaries got cut, pensions got cut. The name for this kind of policy is austerity.

So you shouldn't take anybody seriously who puts austerity in Greece in scare quotes.

The feeling of fullness at the end of a meal is primarily driven by the stretching of the stomach. Which is why people who have their stomach stapled feel fuller faster, and so eat less per meal.

Fat, with its extremely high calorie density, is some of the least satiating food you can eat.

This oversimplifies it a bit, because there are multiple signals and sensations related to satiety and hunger. The mechanics of snacks are different from meals because you will never get "full" from eating snacks, although you may cease being "hungry".

Now that is an interesting thought. Let Disney have Mickey Mouse forever, in exchange for lots of recent stuff.

However, I'm not sure it would work. Say I'm an artist. I know that my heirs will have to right to control my works until doomsday if I assign the authorship to a corporation. So I form a trust for that purpose. This sounds like a simple thing to do. It is also very reasonable, from my POV; I'm providing for my children. And if it were commonly done, then it would negate the benefits of this change in the law.

It will be interesting to see how the market scales. There are certainly advantages to large commercial greenhouses etc... but there is a quickly growing trend for small local producers that grow a few hundred or couple thousands plants at a time. They might service a grocery or a few restaurants. There is also a trend for people to grow at home, grove labs was already mentioned in this thread as an example. My guess, ultra-efficient, nearly fully automated indoor production facilities will be a major player. Labor and energy are the two biggest costs to production and there are emerging technologies to address both of these.

Regarding Europe, it hasn't been a primary focus for us but we have exported a few orders to the UK, Germany and Netherlands. I hadn't heard of pressure on vendors to screen their customers. I'll have to look into this.

Our orders so far have split about 50:50 between veggies and marijuana. The marijuana side of the business does certainly seem to overshadow the veggie side as far as general public interest goes!
> Journalists keep referring to the years of “austerity” that Greece has endured. Government spending has been cut so much that it is now only 58.5 percent of GDP (heritage.org).

It seems a little misleading to say this. Greece's GDP has tanked since 2008, why would you expect spending/GDP to fall even if they made cuts? Worse, in countries with any kind of safety nets, plummeting GDP (and thus rising unemployment) means more people will take advantage of expensive government social services.

There is simply no way to cut your way out of debt in a deep recession when you already have high debt.
