That's not accurate.

The Iraq Body Count project only counted cases in which individuals killed were specifically recorded in the media. By their own admission this was intended as a lower bound estimation and likely to exclude a large proportion of deaths.

The only scientific peer-reviewed studies ought to be more accurate and estimate much higher numbers of deaths.

Essential Steps: Long Term Support for Node.js
Got all three, but I'm a massive outlier on these things (statistician and developer, with a keen interest in physics), so they're questions that match patterns for the "you need to think about this" trigger in my head.

I find I fall over far more on things that hit that trigger needlessly, rather than the other way around (problems that look like I need to think about, but where the intuitive result is the correct one).

All things considered, I'd rather have the problem that way around and over-think and lose time needlessly than get the wrong answer more often. However, I'm biased to wanting that to be the best way, so I'm unreliable as to saying to what degree it's a "better" way to think.
Just yesterday I had a problem which was some combination of Debian Jessie's incredibly outdated Python CFFI library (0.8.6) and its interaction with OpenSSL which took a script from taking milliseconds to launch to over 1.5 seconds, purely due to that import.

One part is mentioned in the article. You need to be aware of your automatic reactions to various situations. Don't be satisfied with the first solution that comes to your mind. There might be things you have missed or your impulses are just wrong.

In programming, I think of myself as a slow thinker, but quite fast programmer. I very often find myself writing some code, re-reading it and throwing it away, because I realized it doesn't really work the way it should work. I do the same things with emails. Whenever I write a long email, the first version is most likely going to be discarded, but it still helps me organize my thoughts.

When solving a problem, always make sure you understand the root cause of it. Don't be satisfied with fixing the symptoms. If things don't work as you expect, make sure you completely understand why it is so.

Eventually, it becomes a habit to think twice before committing to something. You might still experiment, draw things on a whiteboard, do whatever helps you think, but you should not consider the side-products of that process to be the result.
> We've certainly characterized light's behavior (to some degree), though we still have basically no understanding of what it actually is.

Hello from a dev manager in a big enterprise! My personal experience after working in an org where the PMO tried to force waterfall and the devs tried to force "agile" is that the key to success has nothing to do with project management methodology and everything to do with 1) interpersonal relationships, and 2) the technical team having adequate domain knowledge to make good decisions while planning and executing on the project/product. Lack of #2 is why many corporations force waterfall -- because they can't or don't trust the dev teams to make intelligent choices, and/or because the business stakeholders can't be bothered to engage with them on a daily basis. It's pure laziness and lack of respect for the software that drives processes.
> we still have basically no understanding of what [light] actually is.

Finding the true nature and, whether it exists or not, is the domain of philosophy.

Science builds models. And we do have at this point extremely good models of electromagnetism which can correctly predict results of all experiments done so far.

Whether these models reveal some fundamental truth or not is a matter of opinion (or perhaps religion). It has nothing to do with refining the models or finding experiments that might prove them wrong.

The people orchestraiting the integration of the eurozone want a greek crisis. They need the greek crisis in order to gain political support for the next phase which is fiscal integration. They will generate fear and disorder and then the people would be willing to agree upon the fiscal integration of europe. Varoufakis knows this very well, to quote from the article:
"And he (German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble) said explicitly to me that a Grexit is going to equip him with sufficient terrorising power in order to impose upon the French that which Paris has been resisting: a degree of transfer of budget-making powers from Paris to Brussels." Varoufakis

I sign up with Skype seven years ago. I changed my email multiple times since then. In the end, I found the right email, though.

Remembering the email you used seven years ago is not the hardest thing. It's much worse with the registration month and year. No one remembers that.

Anyway, I submitted both the email and the registration date, but Skype support still doesn't verify me, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
Personally, no. Even if it was an IDE feature, I would rather just learn it if I use it frequently.
So I develop PHP. The reason I don't use Debian stable is because the latest version of PHP on there is 5.4.41, which is behind the "old stable version". That means security fixes only.

No bug fixes that resolve problems, or modern functionality (that release is over a year old), and will be EOLd in 1 month. That means a big delta of change that will be needed to handled when debian finally does get round to upgrading. Large deltas of change mean lots of risk.

It's much better to stay further up the crest of the wave and handle more regular updates, to minimise the size of the risk I'm bringing into my code at each release, than it is to stick to an old version and not handle the stream of new functionality that's coming in as it arrives.
Except in practice shareholders are not a cohesive organisation capable of effectively directing the strategy of the company. That's why companies have managers. Nobody is saying that improving shareholder value is a bad thing, just that it should be sustainable and be based on genuine business fundamentals and not short termism. Think of it as consumer protection. If share values are driven up by short term financial tricks, new shareholders are being ripped off. The role of regulation here is to make sure that apropriate controls and disclosure is in place to make sure that those prospective new shareholders have the information they need to apropriately value what they are buying. Yes the onus on them is to research and understand their investment decisions, but equaly the onus is on the business and regulators to make sure it's possible for them to do obtain that information in clear and transparent way and that management incentives and corporate governanace rules are fit for purpose.
One could say the same of a stone, a plant, a planet, or a star, yet we do not simply characterize any of these, we endeavor to understand its origins and constituent parts. In the case of the star, we could have analysed its spectrum, size, trajectory (through space), and surface characteristics, then called it a day; yet we continually try to understand the elements which make up the star, what their state of matter is, how they are reacting, and many other aspects of the star. I disagree with you when you say (of light) that "all we can do is to characterize its behavior".
In fact, I have a Premium account and have money on my Skype credit. So Skype is not entirely free for me.

Also, Skype support is not MS support. I know Skype is supposed to be part of MS, in in fact it isn't Their support is totally separate.
If you believe the article (I'm not sure whether or not I do), the shareholders didn't freak out because of the bad quarter - it was just an opportunity to push their pre-existing agenda of prioritizing returning capital to shareholders instead of investing in the business. If that happens to destroy the company in the long run, these shareholders might not care - nothing stops them from selling their shares well before the long run arrives.

> Here's a Greek expat trying to lay out what an orderly transition from Eurozone membership to a drachma economy would look like

He seems remarkably sanguine about the whole thing. He seems to think Greece only imports iPhones and other luxuries. In reality they import about a third of their food, they import electricity, oil, virtually all medicines. He mentions those are "cheap" but that's because the pharma industry was treating them as a charity case for the last six months.

Where I do agree is that Greece cannot radically increase exports simply by switching to their own currency and printing a lot of it. People aren't going to suddenly double their consumption of cheese if Greece halves their prices.

This was posted today and encourages to take it slow and rationally.

Even thought both articles imply different contexts of 'fast' and 'slow', being caught in the impulsive decision making cycle is very easy, because, as the referenced book "Thinking Fast, Slow" states this is the natural, energy-efficient mode.

A friend of mine went to visit some of the biggest startups in SF (we are from Netherlands) and was shocked with the working culture. Things are going at insanely fast rates, people are irritated and the environment is extremely charged. Comparing to Europe, the work culture is more relaxed, a lot of people work part hours. I wonder what effect it has on productivity, accomplishments and satisfaction with life?
If you believe Varoufakis.

It may be Schäuble's game plan, I cannot know about it, but telling all about it to Varoufakis? That's akin to James Bond's opponents always disclosing their secret master plan just before they think they're going to kill Bond. Real world doesn't work like that.

I simply find it implausible. Why should Schäuble admit to all that openly in a discussion with him? What good would it do?

Nothing: if it ever came out (and Varoufakis has constantly been talking to the press), France will be alienated and his alleged goal will be even farther away.

It simply does not add up.

Be careful with that, it restricts your customers to a certain lightmillisecond distance from your server - if the plugin is intended to be real-time.
I think many developers would do so, the more important question is if the startup they're working for is also something they believe in, or at least believe can be successful, and how much 'say' they will have in the process of development in the other's startup.

You can do both and in fact they complement each other. Doing things fast allows you to do more iterations of experimenting/thinking, before you commit to your final solution. If you work slowly, you usually have to rely on your first intuition, because you don't have time for anything else. If you work fast, you can do more work up front, evaluate more options, test for more edge cases, etc. It helps you get a better picture of the problem you are trying to solve and that is what the "slow thinking" is about.

If it turns out to be at all useful with regard to maintaining revenue-generating code in production, $25 per year is a laughably low ask, even if it's only useful some of the time for some of the people.

Figuring out which people and when is, generically, a matter of doing your homework with customer development and targeted marketing, and then further improving your marketing surface as you learn more about who is a customer and how to find them.

Going from "this might be useful" to a working business model is, of course, a deeply nontrivial problem...but it's one that many people have solved before, and it's a heck of a lot easier if you don't start with "maybe $25 per year."

If they use username@persona.com on personb.com, handle that in the login code and start the regular OpenID flow with persona.com to authenticate. personb.com is now allowed, on behalf of the user, to reshare this content on persona.com, and sends the data directly to an endpoint there.
> are not a cohesive organisation capable of effectively directing the strategy of the company

They don't need to be: they just need to communicate their priorities to that manager. In this case, they communicated that they value short-term goals over long-term.

> it should be sustainable and be based on genuine business fundamentals and not short termism

Probably. I actually agree on that. My point is, that's shareholder's decision. And if you want to argue about that, you should talk to shareholders and explain that they decision hurt themselves. Don't talk to the manager and say that he's in the wrong, because that's not his level of responsibility.

> If share values are driven up by short term financial tricks, new shareholders are being ripped off.

Shareholders, by buying and selling the share values, dictate them. So, they are ripping off themselves. Again, I agree with that: but you should talk to them, not CEOs.

> The role of regulation here is to make sure that apropriate controls and disclosure is in place to make sure that those prospective new shareholders have the information they need to apropriately value what they are buying. Yes the onus on them is to research and understand their investment decisions, but equaly the onus is on the business and regulators to make sure it's possible for them to do obtain that information in clear and transparent way and that management incentives and corporate governanace rules are fit for purpose.

I must admit, I read the article on my phone, so I may have missed it, but did this discussion involve regulations?
Um, what? Yes, the ARMv8 transition was a problem, but until then, Qualcomm had been consistently delivering the best combination of power and performance all the way back to the Snapdragon S4.

WordPress theme boilerplate, now with responsive(+lazy-loading) image helpers
The repo for the boilerplate is: https://github.com/MozaikAgency/wp-theme-bootstrap
The helper mentioned below: https://github.com/MozaikAgency/wp-theme-bootstrap/blob/master/theme/library/class-ri.php
Code demoing how the helper would be used: https://github.com/MozaikAgency/wp-theme-bootstrap/blob/ccdfb983676a94b5ff74e9ad4371c2cabd25d432/theme/page.php

Apart from the core feature of the theme starter, which is the robust build process, the theme boilerplate also comes with a small but growing library of helper classes for developing modern themes with WordPress.

The latest addition to this library is a small responsive images/background-images class which leverages the responsive images spec (polyfilled via picturefill (https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill)) and the WordPress custom media sizes to make it a little easier to implement responsive images in your WordPress theme. The helper also supports aFarkas' lazySizes javascript library (https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes) to optionally lazy-load specific images. Finally the default configuration of the theme boilerplate also includes anselmh's object-fit polyfill (https://github.com/anselmh/object-fit) to allow you to use the object-fit css properties on your images. (btw please vote for this feature to be included in IE Edge!: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/6263790-object-fit-and-object-position)

That's all. We use this boilerplate at work everyday on new projects. Hope you find it useful/interesting!

I think if its running infront of a proxy this is the default behavior. I think this is configured in other web servers like nginx, etc.
I think you misunderstand my point. Model-building is only one aspect of science, and happens to be the most prevalent in some (though not all) of today's mathematical and statistical based studies of physics (which are often criticized as an exercise in curve-fitting). One example is how string theorists are making a valiant (though perhaps errant) effort to understand matter; they are not simply modelling well characterized behaviors. There are many physicists and other scientists who are continually trying to understand their subject matter (pun intentional) at a deeper level, such as those who discovered and described DNA.

I am not interested in whether these scientists reveal "some fundamental truth or not", but we cannot say that we understand all there is to know about electromagnetic phenomena because we can make a few simple predictions. It would be tantamount to saying that we understand the sun because we know where it is relative to us, and how bright it is, and can predict both of these parameters for a while. Understanding that it is a star, how it was formed, how it will cease to be, that it is made up of a number of elements, and converts large amounts of matter to energy are all very important discoveries, and we must continue to seek this kind of advance in the frontiers of our understanding in electromagnetic phenomena, matter, gravity, and many other areas.
