I spent a year studying in university in Japan, taking engineering classes with regular students. The number of people sleeping in class was sometimes impressive - in the worst instance I remember it was about a third of the class (but than

I might be missing the obvious, but I don't see any months in the de-identified dataset you linked? Your second link also says a limited dataset is considered PHI and can only be shared with third party under certain conditions and wit

It looks like the erlang debugger will now be able to step through elixir code: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2016/04/debugging-technique...

Wow, his second response is really demeaning. Or maybe it's just a shock to me after hanging out in really friendly communities (Elixir etc.) for a while...

Interestingly, there's discussion going on right now about adding a similar feature: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2016-April/0889...

I doubt a bank can just go and short stock speculatively. The Volcker rule basically banned that kind of prop trading.

I worked in a bank previously. We did not have root, but we had a utility to run certain commands "as administrator". It popped up a dialog where you had to input a justification for auditing purposes. I don't recall needing

You can transfer as little as you wish, but you're right, there's a minimum to open and hold the account.

Oh, it could be. I'll keep an eye next time. Tbanks!

I also regularly hit that bug where it starts inserting what I type "in parallel" in different places in the file. It's... upsetting.

You can also use a plain old brokerage account. My broker charges 0.2% commission, less than half TransferWise's lowest rate, and it's direct access to the interbank market so there's no margin, execution delay, etc. The down

I don't think an English language article on the Guardian will draw many readers to a Japanese bookstore, unfortunately.

In what ways do you feel you will never really belong?

According to who? I don't see how that makes sense. Many resources are not renewable, so having an extra .2 Earth's worth of them would not make it more sustainable.

I didn't downvote, but I can understand this getting pushed down as it doesn't bring anything to the discussion.

At least in Japan, it's possible. I have a couple friends who are doing a master's in CS (taking 2 years) and did their bachelor's in something completely unrelated, so their programming experience will only be 2-3 years on g
