What if CA could not, in fact, influence the outcome of the election, but instead predict it, and then they just made the bet to approach the winning party and got $$$? And then they just keep doing this at each election or referendum a

Here is a rather unbased what-if: I wonder if this PTSD can be alleviated if the content screeners get more positive feedback about what they do, so they don't feel they are just looking at aweful stuff all day long, so they feel they

Maybe their site is load balanced or regionally served, and they forgot to update on of the servers' certificate. I did get a confirmation from Wire.com's support this morning that they are aware of the problem. Seems fixed now.

wire.com's certificate just expired. :/

Odd, I don't see any changelog there.

Sorry, but what changelog? Could you link here?

In Hong Kong, you may have a hard time getting the paperwork especially if you are not actually building something. You'd go to the offices and they'd ask you why you are applying for the paperwork, and then you'd tell them

The thing is, I live in Hong Kong. And if you tried to pull off this kind of thing here, even on land that you own, it's possibly illegal unless you have other paperwork done because you may damage fibre optics cables or rupture a cook

How is this even legal? Do they own the piece of land?

But their laptops are still ugly. Industrial design is hard, I get it. But still, at those prices...

Then maybe Apple can start putting Xeons in MacBook Pros. I'm only half joking. The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 has Xeon options, for instance.

He's also the author of the gear template generator program, which is, in itself, quite cool: http://woodgears.ca/gear/index.html I discovered it when I watched the video about the making of the Wintergatan marble

And that's why I'd rather build my own security camera using an RPi and its infrared camera module. I can even make it weather-resistant by picking/3D-printing the correct enclosure.

In Hong Kong, both the husband and the wife wear a ring. My mother lost hers, my dad is still wearing his. My wife lost hers, I'm still wearing mine. XD

By "contributor" you mean you are the main author , right? XD Joking aside, we use Celery in production for asynchronous number crunching. We build a web UI in Django that raises Celery tasks that run long number crunching jobs.

"How does TDD prove its correctness? TDD suffers from the same limitations as the code - it generally only covers what you could think of." Another limitation is that because the tests are (usually?) written by humans, the tests c

I will choose the non-Apple laptop, because I already have a late 2013 rMBP, which still runs fine and I find in many ways superior to the new MBP. Hopefully it will be a Dell XPS 15"or Lenovo ThinkPad P50, as I just can't stand w
