As a teen, I did lighting design at an outdoor amphitheater. The only time you could see the lights was at night, so I worked through the night a few times each year before new shows. But as an adult, writing code, never. By this time in li

I think you meant 128Gb ram, instead of 18gb.

If this sounded like a bad idea to you, and you wondered what new tech made this possible - there is no new tech mentioned and you can safely skip the article. It’s basically just a list of reasons why this does not work at all.

I hear your frustration. It does indeed sound like your case is completely different from the article in two big ways. First, as you’ve noted, you aren’t whoever you are standing up for, and so knowing you doesn’t change people opinion of t

A year or two ago, I started doing software for embedded hardware. It’s terrifying how many things we software developer abstract away, actually behave far more strangely in the real world. There could be nothing simpler than a button press

MSM stands for MainStream Media. It’s sort of another way to say “the media”.

I built an internal system reporting on billions of dollars of project spending for a large NGO family. People inside the family of organizations could see financial budgets, actual financials, and progress information for any of thousands

(If they are near any kind of city, there are zillions of clubs for every hobby you can imagine, plus many ways to volunteer. People tend to do a lot of socializing at both of these. These clubs are usually super accepting of new members. )

Since there's a bit of confusion in the comments, this is a well done work of satire, taking things software developerment individuals and organizations have said, and showing their ludicrousness by having the medical profession say th

Perhaps there's a third way. My parents didn't praise us so much for our efforts, nor for "achievements", but they were really excited about the things and projects we were doing. It was like the whole universe was full

Doesn't that just say roughly that "a new form that is more likely to persist in a given environment came from a previous form that was more likely to persist in that given environment"? That almost boils down the same thing

I've not studied this, but doesn't that theory seems to conflate "likely to persist" with "likely to emerge"? For example, the US prison population tends to be far more violent than you would expect - in my sta

I'm guessing one reason is that going high rather then far keeps the rocket in line of site for telemetry.

The impressive part is the pace. There are multiple launches a year, and constant incremental increase in capability. At this rate, they will have the ability to strike anywhere in the world in just a few years.

And add a union to the current situation, and now you have two power structures over you, not one.

You are correct - as you already know. I was wrong TextMate 1 had multiple column editing, but true multi caret editing was not until TextMate 2 in 2011.

Note that that feature was in TextMate, which was Sublime's inspiration.

TypeScript is quite a bit ahead of everything else when you add up its good design, good typing, good tooling, and large community. But if you are looking for alternatives, check out flow. https://flow.org

A lot of times, people using the app were freinds of those being rescued, and were in touch with them over SMS or phone. However, many were using the app, and it's a great showing on the part of the Houston cell network.

That's the max charge and discharge rates. The battery capacity is a separate number. You can only discharge what you have in the battery.

It's not a contradiction - if your parents made financially poor choices, you are more likely to as well, but that does not change the fact that good choices usually lead to better outcomes, and that you can still make those good choic

Looks like Colorado grew by about 5% from 2013 to 2016. That would reduce the size of the effect, but it's still huge. Also important is that 2013 was a national low in fatal traffic accidents, rates have been higher on average since.

A small sized business jet charters for about $1,000 an hour. I'd guess a long 737 would go for between $10,000 and $25,000 an hour. Edit: Here are some charter prices: http://www.aircharterguide.com/Aircraft/Manuf

Obviously if the percentage of drivers testing positive for marijuana went up, but the number of fatal accidents stayed the same, then we would just be seeing a demographic shift, but no possible causal link. The first half of the article d

Your advice is spot on. We had a very similar experience with Blue Cross for many years. I'd swear they have an RNG that randomly denies claims 80% of the time. You just had to fight each one on the phone. The people on the phone only
