Because the core labor is boating around to process each trap every day. That's time, fuel, and bait every day. Point taken about optimizing the larger system, but the other pieces of the regulation resonate more for me. Throwing back

Great point about the owner/captain regulation. It seems incredible that the little guys won in this one. Also, chrisbennet's comment reminded me of another piece of the sustainable fishing regulations, which is that the traps are

I went to Stonington last fall with my family. It's a beautiful and interesting place. We were fortunate to rent from a lifelong local and tour with a retired oil industry scientist and learned about a lot of this while there. The loca

Nice. I came here to ask, "What exactly is Chrome doing while using CPU when the app is idle?" Answering this would leave the memory usage and installer size issues but make the architecture tenable for more applications.

Do people use zeromq for this kind of work? It seems the various socket types are tailored to building such load balancing and routing architectures, but I'm not aware if zeromq is in use at this scale.

I thought the post might shed more light on their use of Erlang for this service, but it focuses more on high level topology, AWS infrastructure, and load balancing. It's interesting to get a sense of the level of high level deployment

Nice :-) That's much easier on the eyes. org-mode folding doesn't seem to like it, but it should be no problem sticking to Windows Emacs for that.

Every programmer I've worked with can type just fine. I think the reason we don't comment code is because we believe the meaning of the code is self-evident via names, conventions, and structure. I am happy to comment code when I

What do you use for colors/theme in emacs in WSL? I ran emacs with the default settings the other day and there was a lot of unreadable blue on black. Once the latest build filters out to Windows Update, I will probably only invoke the

That's a good point, and it's perhaps insulting to assume otherwise given the available information at this point.

Most random docs, todo lists, invoice scans, etc. are in Dropbox or Google Docs. Home pics, music, videos: CrashPlan central. I also set up a local CrashPlan archive to a local NAS, but OS X can't keep the IP address resolved. Work: al

"Well actually" capital indeed. I must remember where I am :) Admonishment was probably too strong on my part, but I read the lawyer comments as more, "You should..."

It is good to see the support here. I am unpleasantly surprised at the comments admonishing her for not lawyering up, though. She bothered to write publicly, which is more than anyone outside the situation could rightly ask. She wrote very

Alexander Hamilton's practice was similar but not extreme. From Chernow's Hamilton, this quote reflects on both his work ethic and superb thinking and writing abilities: "When he had a serious object to accomplish, his practi

These techniques seem to help code cleanliness in the small without attacking the root issue. Names and error handling help, but modularization requires more care than is demonstrated. The new module example separates the boilerplate, yes,

Ok, I see you didn't mean .NET Native and xcopy deployment work together but both are options now. Thanks for clarifying. I see the UWP app build folder has all the DLLs copied now.

I recall Joel Spolsky was worked up about this, too, and wrote an article with the memorable title Please, Sir, May I Have A Linker? Somehow we built a ton of apps and got along without the linker all these years, but it sure would have bee

It may take more than just the event space. The grandparent gives good examples and notes basketball and baseball are better attractors. My town, Indianapolis, manages to integrate most events right into the downtown along with the conventi

I was thinking it may be boomers putting in catch-up funds. Younger folks today may still be trying to get started on a mortgage down payment, let alone saving for kids' college or maxing out the 401k.

Are you asking for this functionality in the editor or browser or something else? Editors do highlight text as you describe, at least in Emacs in markdown-mode and org-mode. Still, my experiments with variable width fonts in these modes hav

In all the orgmode threads, a viable replacement never comes up in any other editor, even for the basic features of note taking. Now here we have several commenters who have tried both and really like VimWiki. As an Emacs user who might lik
