Yes but I don't agree "C" is a "unique" ability for remotes. Our operations/IT stuff always has someone who is technically remote due to business travel.

I have a side project with volunteers working on it remotely as well.

I don't see it as a separate problem. People either can communicate effectively via text/phone....or they can't. In an office environment, you still need that. About 50% of my stakeholders are "remote" as they work in other companies many miles away.
Thanks!

As ironic(?) as this sounds, where is this doc feature documented?

(Part of my learning is that I am trying hard to learn how to navigate the various Python documentation. For example, I had a hell of a time trying to find a list of format strings, as different sources refer to it as different things)
However, most (good) movies do have a lingering message, a thesis point the filmmaker is trying to make about people or the world. What do you think the message was in this movie, and do you agree with it?
Why the hell does the US government not target this sort of shit. If you want to get rid of the problems in the Middle East, that's by far the best way. Through activism and journalism.

We're at least decades away from making secure digital voting (if something like that is ever going to be possible). I also believe it will be somehow based on blockchain technology that can't be easily altered to fraud the votes. We mainly need to do authentication in a secure way that can't be spoofed or hacked (easily).

Fixing the problem after the fact does nothing for the people affected by said vulnerabilities. Sure, they can fix the hole and assure people that it's fixed, but if you've had your identity stolen/etc, that's not much consolation.
I have now reached the stage where my database and front end app is so central to the running of my organization, that I can hardly get any real development done (I have given up on any features that I expect to take more than a weeks worth of full time coding, as I am bound to be interrupted with something more urgent).

How I can frame that as a positive in job applications? I feel like I am not learning much and becoming a 1 years experience 10 times (well for the last two or three). Everyone seems interested in silly hour and a half coding challenges.

Making the big one less intense may or may not be possible. There may be some threshold pressure that needs to be reached. If there is a threshold, then it will either happen or not, depending on the rate at which we relieve pressure with smaller quakes.
I am pretty much a novice in program optimization, but doesn't `perf` sample clock cycles? So in effect CPU usage percentage doesn't matter as much since it's not using wall clock time?
We don't fully know, and I'm not a neurologist. But it appears that sleep is when memories of the day get consolidated. There's also some garbage collection that runs, for the well-being of the system.
Agreed -- when done right, it's very secure.

But pretty much all the software suffers from shortcuts one after another, ridden with bugs and backdoors. Someone will most certainly get to exploit the state of affairs before these systems are solid enough for good.

5 Easy Steps to Embed Big Data in Your Business
Very nice! I like the visualizations of the current, power, etc.

I was looking at the astable multivibrator, and I'm just wondering why the transistors turn "red" when there is no current flowing through them (when the visualize-power option is on).
Maybe. Certainly in the UK there are many cases where "unfair" contracts can't be enforced, though, which presumably stays as law because it is seen to be beneficial.
I find my interest is most piqued by non-programming fields. So, for me the answer to this question has been: listen for opportunities in the communities around fun, non-programming fields. In my case, listening to a NASA Twitter account led to a weekend hackathon that showed the possibility of programming around live telemetry from space vehicles, which I've been noodling with ever since: https://github.com/sensedata/space-telemetry

Another idea I've been messing around with for ages is a mobile app to support bicycle wheel building; something else seemingly non-programming that I love doing and so looked at specifically to see if I could invent a way to a hobby project.

And, games are another arena that have worked well for me, i.e., programming around them is fun enough to keep me well enough engaged to learn and understand new things. Mods, play-support tools, and of course actual (mini) games. If this sounds interesting, I recommend finding a moddable indie game to start with; micro-studios can be very friendly and supportive of modders in ways that keep you coming back for more.

PS From the OP's context, I'm assuming the real question is "How do you come up with hobby, programming projects that keep your professional abilities fresh and varied?"

Sleep is something I've kind of battled with for some years now. I have a job with a long commute and long hours but like to still be able to come home and make dinner and watch an episode or two of some of my favorite shows but when I do I end up awake instead of tired. If I do that I get 4 - 5 hours of sleep at night but if I get the full 8+ I basically have no life but work and sleep.

Basically everyone I know always tells me "Only 4 - 5 hours? That's not healthy!". But here's the thing, I don't feel like it. I wake up fine, go about my day, and usually fall asleep when I'm tired. I don't need to chug caffeine to stay awake or take shots of some energy drink. Once I wake up I'm wide awake and alert despite getting so much less sleep then everyone tells me I'm supposed to.

Just because a movie evokes a strong emotional impact doesn't make it good. A strong emotional response can be highly negative as well.

If the movie is made to create a negative emotional response then I suppose one can say it succeeded in doing so, but it still doesn't make it good to the people who view it negatively.

> So what you're saying is, in the United States "treason" is defined so that a helicopter gunner who murders journalists and unarmed civilians is a hero while the person who exposes this war crime is a traitor.

No, what I'm saying is that murdering journalists and unarmed civilians is not treason, because…it's not.

Now, was the specific act you referred to a war crime, or a case of mistaken identification, or legitimate action against an armed group or individual within a group, or something else? Beats me. It's not my job to decide. Nor was it Manning's job to decide, nor to leak that information because he didn't like the decision of those whose job it was to decide.
Sorry. I've already contributed to the funerals of those harmed by what Manning leaked.
It would be an interesting awful power to have, but I have to think that such a power would have had more "terror value" against extremely sexist Arab extremists than against random E-4s who are considering leaking some war porn to wikileaks. Why dump Osama in the ocean when you can just convince her she's a woman? All her former allies will reconsider their terrorist activities.

By all accounts, however, Manning's gender issue was present before enlisting, and certainly before she had access to classified materials.
One explanation I picked up in a book some time ago was that the illusion could be explained as a series of moments (like the frames of a movie), due to the fact that each such moment contained an encoding of the previous frame (your memory) and an anticipation of future frames (your expectations) the illusion that the individual moments are connected in a linear progression emerges, much like the illusion of motion emerges from watching movie frames.

Please show me one country where there is 'legal aid' to the tune of 200k where the legal case is basically 'yeah so I totally did what I was charged with, law is totally clear but I should still receive a lesser sentence because <political reason>'.

Look, I'm fine with people advocating through the judicial process, but all things considered, of all people who are 'disadvantaged' in their legal proceedings and should 'deserving' of receiving government-sponsored legal aid (because there already is legal aid in this case, to the tune of <however much this amount in OP says right now>), this case's (and defendant's) scorecard looks pretty weak.
It seems like a stream processing engine that uses a custom query language similar to SQL (well, even though the syntax doesn't look like SQL, the documentation says so).

You would only need to accept a 0.25% salary decrease. NASA's budget is tiny for all the impact it has.

To fund the great achievements of the 1960's space race, NASA's budget was only twice as much as it is today. Bringing it back up would take a whopping... 0.5% more of the federal government budget.

That 0.5% also accounts for one third of the total spending on academic scientific research in the United States.

Also considering that federal government spending is about half of the total government spending in the US, your total taxes would only need to be raised by about 0.25%.

Pretty sad when you think about it.

I did consider that scenario, but I suppose what really happens is dependent upon the duplex of the medium, how the network stack handles it (there's certainly a nontrivial amount of synchronisation required...), and if the CPU is multicore. WiFi for sure is half-duplex so I think the two threads will just alternately run.
Thanks for all the input, there is a lot of important concepts here, which I'll definitely look into implementing into the course! However, I'm very cautious of making it too theoretical.

He released advancements with Tesla into the public domain (which could have been observed/reverse engineered by examining products).

Advancements by SpaceX have not been released. They haven't even been patented because SpaceX is competing against governments, so Musk does not want to disclose information to them. And since the product (rockets/spacecraft) can't be examined by the public, there's really no incentive to public domain the tech and give it to competitors.

I'm noticing in these posts that those who view Chelsea Manning's actions favourably use the right name and pronouns.

Thomas Metzinger studying phenomena of neural correlates wrote "The Ego Tunnel". After reading his book I realised that perceived time and space and perception itself are just complicated models, run on our wetware, and these are result of evolution by abaptation, including culture as factor. So there is no 'time'. But for convenience, we can assume that it is. Otherwise who shall buy watches?

P1. Any given moment must be designated past, present, or future.

P2. The designations "past", "present", and "future" are a true trichotomy, such that it is impossible for any moment to not have any of these designations.

P3. The designations "past", "present", and "future" are mutually exclusive; it is impossible for a moment to be in the past and the future, the future and the present, etc.

P4. According to the A-Series model of time, every moment is at some point designated future, present, and past.

C. From (P3) and (P4), via reductio ad absurdum, an A-Series interpretation of time produces a contradiction.

I don't buy it because (P3) is more accurately phrased "it is impossible for a moment to be in the past and the future, the future and the present, etc. simultaneously" and (P4) is better phrased "every moment is at some point designated future, present, and past, but never simultaneously", so (C) breaks down.
