So if you put "true" (without quotes) as a value, you get a boolean, but if you put "True", you get a string?

Because University was the best time in your life, and every day now is a dreary slog of mediocrity. By giving money, you can reclaim a part of your glory days that won&#x27;t come again. You can feel like giving to other students will help their lives, as a pale imitation of what it would be like to be with that group again, having fun and chasing girls instead of supporting a dead-end marriage with a mind-numbing job. If you have enough money, you can even inject your name into student life by getting a building named after you -- you can prove to everyone that you are a success, even if you&#x27;re still unhappy and growing older by the day.<p>Or maybe you just believe in supporting higher education. Either way.

Perhaps you should take that up with Apple who unsupported OS X 10.8 over 6 months ago - last September.<p>I&#x27;m working really hard to not be snarky here. I would suggest that you may want to reassess which companies are being aggressive in ending support and why.

While as others already pointed out this story seems a little fishy, it serves well to reflect if something like this could in theory happen to your infrastructure.<p>Do you have your backup servers in the same configuration management software (ansible, puppet, ssh-for-loop etc) as the rest of the servers? One grave error (however unlikely) in your base configuration really can take down everything together in one fell swoop.<p>How &quot;cold&quot; are your backups? If the backup media are not physically disconnected and secured, you can most likely construct a scenario where the above, malware, a hacker or a rouge admin could destroy both the backups and the live data.<p>I will certainly suggest some additional safeguards for our backups.

Yes, for ex: docker run -d --name web1 --net prod --net-alias web &lt;webapp&gt; docker run -d --name web2 --net prod --net-alias web &lt;webapp&gt;<p>resolution for &#x27;web&#x27; will return IPs of both the containers.

I used to do competitive shooting back in the day. I got 4th in nationals in overall and first in JROTC overall for my last ever competition. I was only a few points away from being olympic quality and actually turned down a full ride scholarship from a coach who sent students to the olympics.<p>That said, I didn&#x27;t do anything fancy to stay aware of my breathing minus a few things that you learn in your first couple days (breathe in, breathe out, breath in, breath out 20%). Overtime, you just get a sense of where the rifle tends to point and you learn to control it. Nothing fancy :). It wasn&#x27;t really a conscious thought process by any means and my coach didn&#x27;t really push conscious breathing.<p>The biggest thing he would push was mindfulness of where your shot ended up. He would take away my damn sighting scope and get me to predict where each shot landed.. which was actually incredibly helpful as much as I hated to admit.<p>The things that were much more important than breathing control were keeping calm (mental state, not necessarily breathing), adjusting your &quot;natural point of aim&quot; after each shot, and having a constant awareness of stance and how small changes affected your aim. Then again, my shooting style had a complete lack of the usual advised technique. My trigger control was garbage, for example. I met up with him after high school and shot for a bit. When he saw my shooting stance, he asked, rudely, &quot;Where&#x27;d you learn that faggoty-ass stance from?&quot;. &quot;You&quot;, was accurate. :)<p>Funny thing. Apparently shooters and swimmers in their teens suffer from the problem of high pitched noise while sleeping. It&#x27;s really stupidly embarrassing! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Catathrenia" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Catathrenia</a>

Now, all that said, I do have a story about speed with Vim:<p>When I was in high school, I bragged to my dad about typing something like 110 words per minute. He said… that&#x27;s nice; I can type 1100 words per minute. Incredulously, I asked him to show me. He fired up his vim setup, opened a few files, started a new one, and sure enough in under 60 seconds he had a ~1100 &quot;word&quot; Sybase stored procedure (or something) written.<p>Of course he didn&#x27;t literally type all of it. Of course it was a loooot of copy pasta, and the whole thing was tongue-in-cheek. But it was a good example of what you can do with Vim <i>given the right scenario</i>.

&gt; Not necessarily. It is entirely possible to have a job where your role is to figure out elegant solutions to hard problems.<p>Sure. But often when that&#x27;s the case your title will say something closer to &quot;Principal Researcher&quot;, rather than &quot;Software Developer Engineer&quot;.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, a good thing about a job in engineering is that figuring elegant solutions to hard problems is a significant part of what you do there. Also, you can definitely optimize for that being a larger part of your time, if you aim for that when choosing where to work.<p>However, the jobs for which that is the only function you are employed to fill, and where you are expected to delegate maintenance of your elegant solution to someone else, are exceedingly rare. That&#x27;s why the academic job market in CS is so much harsher (including industry research labs) than the software development job market. And, for the record, research work does end up involving either some amount of grunt work or some amount of management work at every place and level I have seen so far (universities, industry research labs, etc)

Somewhat related, I started out using Emacs and have since moved to using vim. I&#x27;m at the point where I feel semi-proficient in it, and I&#x27;ve started playing around with .vimrc, pathogen-based addons, as well as other stuff like ctags a bit, and based on my experience so far this extensibility and customization is what makes the text editor so powerful compared to other ones (although I can&#x27;t really speak for Emacs since I didn&#x27;t get as far with it).<p>That being said, I&#x27;ve recently started picking up an interest in lisp (currently slowly making my way through sicp), and I&#x27;ve seen indications that Emacs is somehow more suited to lisp development than vim. As a result, I&#x27;ve actually been considering switching back again, despite emacs pinky, although I&#x27;m still on the fence about this.<p>If anybody here has some knowledge about what Emacs offers in terms of lisp development that vim doesn&#x27;t (or vice versa) and&#x2F;or has some good references, I would be very interested to know.

&gt; Imagine if a sword were made safety as first-class concern.<p>This seems like a silly example. A weapon, meant to dismember and maim attackers of its owner, is one of those things that&#x27;s impossible to completely make safe. Granted I could think of plenty of ideas that maybe would make it safer at first that wouldn&#x27;t compromise its ability to be effective as a weapon but it&#x27;s simply not an apt example to be used here.<p>A computer is a general purpose device. It can be used to help image cancer, launch a nuclear weapon or play games. Considering that it&#x27;s meant to be used by everyone, without discrimination, it seems to make sense that you need to do the best you can to protect the user from themselves.<p>I worked in Apple Care support for about a year. The majority of your users are not going to know all of the consequences to their actions, even ones doing system administration (because let&#x27;s face it almost every company in the world needs at least a little of that now and not all of them are going to hire someone who knows what they&#x27;re ding).<p>You can&#x27;t protect a user from everything. But when you can protect a user from doing something that would have screwed up their whole system, lost a project, etc? That&#x27;s helpful. Correcting input is what computers are essentially there for.

I&#x27;m happy to spend a little extra time every now and then doing some unusual task by hand in exchange for never having to think about the editor or try to remember how some powerful, infrequently-used feature works. As long as the editor can do everything I want to do on a daily basis, I&#x27;m happy; if it can also automate tasks I only have to do every week or two or every couple of months, it&#x27;s a waste, because it&#x27;ll take some effort to remember that the feature exists, what it&#x27;s called, where to find it, and how to use it. I&#x27;d rather just use a simpler editor and deal with that oddball task in whatever way is convenient when it comes up. Since I spend all day slinging code, bashing up a little script to do some odd code-munging job is no trouble; I already have all the tools I need to do that paged into my working memory.<p>I was thinking more of the sorts of automatic refactoring tools some people really like to use in their IDEs. I haven&#x27;t found that such tools save enough time to be worth learning how to use them.

All of them either University MSc or years of programming experience.<p>take a world 100m running champion and ask him to run the 30m with making 360 deg rotation left on each 3rd step and rotation 360 deg right on each 5th step... That would be such a fun, like a drunken duck...

You can always make the induction variable and loop bound local variables, and the induction variable is almost always a local variable anyways. It was the WebKit coding style for years to use local variables for loop bounds for this reason.<p>This is the example you&#x27;re talking about in &quot;What Every C Programmer Should Know&quot;:<p><pre><code> float *P; void zero_array() { int i; for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; ++i) P[i] = 0.0f; } </code></pre> If you make the global variable static, then it gets converted to a memset with -fno-strict-aliasing, because the &#x27;P&#x27; variable never has its address taken. If you used LTO with sufficient linkage information, the same thing would happen. Similarly, if you pass the array as an argument then the loop gets converted to a bzero call just fine without -fno-strict-aliasing:<p><pre><code> float *P; void zero_array_impl(float* a) { int i; for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; ++i) a[i] = 0.0f; } void zero_array() { zero_array_impl(P); } </code></pre> I don&#x27;t think this is a very good example for these reasons.

My intuition is that &#x27;underutilized&#x27; is probably not the reality of things.<p>One can take bad shots - and part of Steph&#x27;s magic is knowing what is a good shot for him.<p>And for him, an incredible shooter, this means plenty of shots from anywhere on the court.

From their own documentation the use case is reliable replication, and even reads would be horribly slow:<p>&quot;The drawbacks are high latency in both reads and writes and low throughput. Pg_paxos cannot be used for high performance transactional systems. But it can serve very well for low-bandwith, reliable replication use cases.&quot;

It&#x27;s because planning regulations are such a pain in the arse. When they get the initial planning outline for a plot of land, that is a huge multi-year hurdle they&#x27;ve overcome. It can cost hundreds of thousands, even millions, just to get to that point. So naturally they then decide to cram as many houses as possible onto the plot.<p>There are also really annoying regulations about having to give a certain percentage of the houses to the council (on the cheap), if the total build is more than about 12-13 houses. So when you&#x27;re choosing between 200 or 300 houses on the plot, why would you want to give away some really nice houses at cost, when you could just build a ton of small terraces?

The shutter speed was probably a little slower than for the other photos in order for him to get into position, which explains why he seems to be moving and why the glow from his flashlight looks like a lightning flash. The graininess of the photo, though, is likely due to the radiation.

&gt; if I use a different compiler option or underlying instruction set architecture to the SQLite Dev team, do I still trust my binary?<p>If that is critical, you can join the SQLite Consortium Membership for $75K&#x2F;year and access to the test suite. There&#x27;s also an option to pay SQLite developers to &quot;run TH3 on specialized hardware and&#x2F;or using specialized compile-time options, according to customer specification, either remotely or on customer premises.&quot; The TH3 test harness is an aviation-grade test suite.<p>The level of paranoia for aviation software is also rather high.

Coming from OS X, there are a bunch of minor things missing in Notepad++ that I&#x27;m used to having on OS X. Like the ability to drag tabs between windows with the mouse, to move new tabs to a new window, or to create a new file and immediately save it. The scrolling in Notepad++ is also a little buggy. Just to give you a perspective about what the other side thinks, since you inevitably develop different habits in different editors, and those habits break when you switch.<p>That said, I use too many editors for my own good. (I&#x27;m active in both main churches.) Neither Notepad++ nor TextMate are competitive with VS Code, Emacs, or Vim, IMO, and I use all five regularly.

No, it&#x27;s not based on Atom. Both VSCode and Atom are built on top of Electron but that&#x27;s all they share in common. VSCode, unlike Atom, is lightning fast. In particular, it uses a very different rendering and plugin architecture.

The author of the 538 piece makes an interesting case that he may actually be underutilized. The gist is that his efficiency has not gone down as his number of shots has gone up, and that a &quot;bad shot&quot; for Curry is still better than a &quot;good shot&quot; for most other players.

That is literally the worst job application site I&#x27;ve ever seen. I actually took the time to go through the whole thing just to be told I need to complete the work history section, but for the work history section I&#x27;m required to fill out Company phone #, supervisor name, and title? I&#x27;m not even able to delete companies, so the only way I can possibly finish the section is to fill them out for all 6 jobs that LinkedIn imported. So I gave up.<p>You really should just list an email or have a simpler application system. Only the most desperate applicants (ie. lowest quality) are going to go through the hassle of submitting an application on that site.

The other big factor driving universal encryption is HTTP2. Currently, the major browsers only support HTTP2 over TLS [1], and many of them have no immediate plans to support unencrypted HTTP2. HTTP2 allows one to drop a lot of the HTTP latency workarounds we&#x27;re familiar with - image spriting, JS module bundling, CSS concatenation. It may soon be <i>easier</i> to setup an https-only website than an http or mixed http(s) one.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;caniuse.com&#x2F;#search=http2" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;caniuse.com&#x2F;#search=http2</a>

I tried VSCode for the last couple of months and it didn&#x27;t sell me.<p>It&#x27;s noticeably slower than Sublime on a good workstation and it has a bunch of very minor annoyances that Sublime simply doesn&#x27;t have.<p>When you encounter these annoyances dozens of times a day, it really turns you off from using it because a good editor should make you happy, not infuriate you.<p>For example, the way VSCode deals with multiple buffers and the sidebar is really poor. It tries to be cute and keep the sidebar&#x27;s state in each buffer, but it&#x27;s done really poorly and constantly disrupts you.

It was a female writer talking about how wonderful it was for Katehi to break the glass ceiling.&quot;<p>It seems there is some conflict of interest here, as the article seems to attempt to shift blame from the Chancellor to the university.

My main reason to why stuff gets done faster when I&#x27;m in vim is because I am in the terminal anyway. Compared to one virtual desktop with a browser if you&#x27;re doing web, one with some editor, and one with a terminal to run some build tools and more, you&#x27;d have to jump around much more.<p>Another good reason to go with vim is that it will probably be around when other editors may become abandoned. Sure it&#x27;s good with many editors to pick from, but most of us go for the latest shiny thing and it&#x27;s always a learning curve even going between Sublime and Atom.<p>It&#x27;s free, you can install it on anything. It&#x27;s not the crazy commands that makes it fast really.

Personally I like that analogy because it was recently revealed that people can 3D print working keys from a photo of a key. So even the &quot;physical&quot; key is vulnerable to security attacks of a digital nature. All someone needs to do is get a photo of the global &quot;key&quot; and they can then get into anybody&#x27;s safe.

There is no &quot;the VIM plugin&quot;. There are multiple extensions created by VSCode users. One of them just happens to have had the temerity to re-use the logo from Bram Moolenaar&#x27;s project and slap the &quot;Vim&quot; label on their extension.<p>And it&#x27;s working. Despite having messier code, performance problems, and fewer Vim features implemented, it has over 3x as many users as the next most popular one listed in the VSCode extension gallery.

If you work with UNIX &#x2F; Linux servers a lot, or really at all, it&#x27;s a good idea to be comfortable with basic vi usage - vim being Vi IMproved, with some features that we&#x27;ve all become comfortable with.<p>You will find a version of vi on almost any UNIX-ish system you&#x27;re likely to find running. It&#x27;s an incredibly robust and battle-tested editor which can help you out of tight situations.<p>Nano isn&#x27;t so bad and is fairly common now, but its&#x27; predecessor, Pico, was absolutely terrible for editing code. Pico was originally the editor bundled with the Pine e-mail client, and it had a nasty habit of chopping lines of text at 80 characters wide. I once used Pico to edit a hundreds-of-lines-long apache config, bungled the whole thing, and had to manually reconstruct it with vi.<p>At the time, I was a fairly new employee in my first tech job as support for a Linux distributor in the 90s and our build engineer fairly quickly informed me that it was time I learn vi.<p>Any system with vim installed on it - including a fresh Mac - will have vimtutor, which I highly recommend everyone spend a half hour with. When I taught Linux admin courses, I had everyone run through this at lunch on the first day to help them avoid the professional embarrassment I had. ;)<p>[Edit: and I second what everyone else says about it not necessarily being a supreme development experience. I use a Mac with, over the years, TextMate, Sublime, Light Table, and now Atom. Some people make a convincing argument that Emacs is a supreme dev environment, but I&#x27;ve never quite picked it up]

Using shortcut.lnk will make the first instance behind the last instance?

&gt;AI isn’t like an oil field owned by a handful of people<p>Sure, it&#x27;s free to access open-source AI tools.<p>However, only huge corporations have enough capital to first build these ground-breaking technologies.<p>Being the first, it becomes almost impossible to compete at a later stage (&quot;Thiel&#x27;s aim for a monopoly&quot;).

The Wikipedia page for COBOL list several places where programming constructs lead to undefined behavior.

PostgreSQL supports synchronous replication since 9.1. What 9.6 will have is support for more than one synchronous replicated server.<p>In any case, synchronous replication means that <i>all</i> of the participating servers have to participate in the replication process. If one of them slows down or hangs, replication (and your transaction) does not proceed.<p>Paxos, on the contrary, can proceed when N&#x2F;2+1 of the nodes are available. That&#x27;s a huge difference, and it&#x27;s irrespective of the latency and performance. In other words: while 9.6&#x27;s synchronous replication is a really welcomed addition, a single miss-behaving node will halt transactions on the cluster, while pg_paxos will continue operating without problems. Both are meant for different use cases.
