Yeah, plate tectonics pushed the continent over the south pole. It used to be much closer to the equator.
"Some 200 million years ago, Antarctic continental crust was joined with South American, African, Indian, and Australian continental crust making up a large southern land mass known as Gondwana (the southern part of the supercontinent called Pangea). After this time, Gondwana slowly split apart to create Antarctica as a separate continent, and Antarctica has gradually moved away from the other southern continents towards its present polar position."
Yes I'm aware of that and that further supports my claim. You just describing the more specific contributing factors to the natural climate change. Thank you for that.
But not the man made variety. This is evidence of NATURAL climate change. In order for nearly 100 volcanoes to be underneath 2km of ice, what happened? Climate change. Once upon a time, that area was presumably very hot and with frequent volcanic activity. Some type of climate change occurred, a very radical one and all the volcanoes froze underneath all that ice.
There is no "natural" homeostasis for climate. Any suggestion of the like is really just human beings wanting to keep the climate ideal to their species' preferences indefinitely. Believe it or not, that is actually unnatural. It goes directly against the principles of entropy at work in the universe.
Walking a data tree is 1st year CS level work. If you're spending half your efforts on it then you're either vastly short on resources or your coders suck donkey balls.
Correct and then 2nd year CS work is red/black trees and other advanced algorithms. The whole time you're learning this you're taking increasingly higher levels of mathematics. You see the problem I run into is that many people couldn't make it to the 2nd year in Computer Science and went into Information Technology or some other "Computer Science Lite" field of study. These are the majority of people in the field now that really lack to ability to understand the difference between different implementations logically and mathematically. Computer Science is a hard degree. It's called Computer _SCIENCE_ for a reason.
Declined. But you're first in line to go into the nursing home. Just think about who is going to be wiping your ass when you get there. Hope you enjoy that thought. When you whine about that let me know, I'll bring you some cheese if you even have any teeth left. Cheers!
Real developers use an XML or JSON reader instead of using direct deserialization. Trust me I've built systems both ways and deserialization directly into objects is no bueno. You end up with more problems with version compatability alone to negate the benefits. There are also performance issues as well.
Been there. Seen too many instances of Language Du Jour come and go. I don't want to split the office into the tabs vs spaces warring camps. I don't want to incorporate some state of the art 3D gaming graphics engine into our simple engineering app interface. And I don't need every inter-office communication in PowerPoint.
This, a thousand times, this. One of the problems is everyone wants to make their innovative mark on this field. All of those are for the most part used up unless you're in very specific incubators in Silicon Valley.
Shut up. Every generation says the same crap about the next generation (accept for their own spawn who are somehow angels). No generation in America has done more to destroy this country than the Baby Boomers. They will be the first generation to leave this country in worse shape than it was when they inherited it.
Want cheese and breadsticks to go with that fine whine?
In reality you're just an apologist for a narcissistic generation that never really got educated enough to be useful to society. Somehow they faked it until they made it and got into management and they are so incredibly delusional. Sure, there may be some that aren't in this category like the hippies that settled in Boulder, CO but unfortunately, the majority are this way. I went to a Beach Boys concert not that long ago and the amount of trash baby boomers left for the cleanup crew was amazing. I overhead talk about a Weird Al concert from the previous night and they said the trash was considerably less. Sorry, but a lot of the baby boomers are indeed short-sighted idiots that concocted schemes like mortgage backed securities with bad assets and what not. Disclaimer: I'm not a millennial
Older workers aren't obsolete, they're just more expensive
Managers need to re-calibrate their measurements
Young managers who fail to do this, or who care more about culture than results, are missing out on a vast talent pool
You get what you pay for. I've seen quite a few companies go under with software platforms written almost exclusively by recent college grads and H1B visas. As soon as they put any real load on the system, it buckles. When this situation occurs, the people who created the problem due to incompetence and inexperience just jump ship and go do it all over again somewhere else.
Older works (and I'm one of them) do not need special treatment. The problem with the workplace is that it is NOT family friendly and our birth rates are suffering from it. France and Germany are already dealing with this problem by instituting family friendly policies. America, of course, thinks it knows better than to follow their lead. When everyone is busy slaving their asses off for the whims of the corporate lobbying of the likes of the Koch Brothers, everyone is too tired and exhausted to make babies. Couple this with average wages adjusted for inflation having taken a nose dive over the past 20 years.
Prioritize policies based on family _AND_ GDP (or in reality executive bonuses) and this problem and many others will be alleviated.
Of course not, they have mad visionary skills, they gots the gap performance evaluations and the stretch goals. You are all not l33t compared to them. You are too stupid to get it.
I'm not going to be here and neither are my kids most likely. Eventually we're toast due to the sun going supernova or the eventual heat death of the universe. Why does anyone think it's THAT important that humans continue to exist in the universe? I'm posing a serious philosophical question here. No matter what, no matter what our civilization evolves into, no matter what achievements we make it will all be erased eventually like it never happened. It's just a question of when. Sad but true.
Mr. Hawking in one breath you say the universe and life is pointless and absurd, there is no god and then you suddenly get concerned about the trajectory we're on and think we need to change it? It seems contradictory.
Go to Mars? Like we're not just going to start the same problems all over again. Enjoy the ride.
I'm sure it will allow you to view awesome Web VR! For about 5-10 minutes until it slows to a crawl from poor memory management and then you have to restart. It's a feature!
I'm guessing this is specifically in reference to using Web VR?
Firefox 55 also allows users to adjust the number of processes and how much resources they want to allocate to any of them. This setting is at the bottom of the General section in Options. In fact, if your computer has more than 8GB of RAM, Mozilla recommends "bumping up the number of content processes that Firefox uses" because it will make Firefox faster, though at the expense of using more memory. In its own tests on Windows 10, the company found that Firefox uses less memory than Chrome, even with eight content processes running.
I have a Chrome browser open that's been running for days with multiple tabs open still as snappy as when I first opened it and it's currently using a cool 163MB of RAM. My machine has 16GB of memory but it I obviously barely need to drip into it? Oh and by the way Mozilla... Chrome just figures it out without users having to tweak their browser's memory management strategy manually. I guess you can't figure out to do that? Furthermore, I guess Firefox isn't for grandma then?
For reals, I used to use Firefox and Firebug exclusively for web development for many years before Chrome de-throned you guys. We need less spin more real value to consider switching back. C'mon Mozilla, either get in the game or admit defeat.
I agree with pretty much everybody else on here that if Mozilla wants Firefox to succeed, they should stop trying to give us more doodads in the browser.
You want to know why they failed and everyone switched to Chrome? Firefox used to be horrible at memory management. It might still be, I don't know I haven't used it in years. If you had your browser open for a certain period of time it would slow to a crawl and you would find it eating up gobs of memory. When the Mozilla developers had this bug reported to them, they took an elitist position and shrugged their users off as being idiots for having their browsers open too long or with too many tabs or whatever scapegoat excuse they could come up with. Their users gave them the finger and switched to a browser that worked correctly and consistently. That was the mistake. Now they can't get the market share back. If the Mozilla devs hadn't done that, we might be in the reverse situation but no Mozilla devs had to be arrogant and elitist. You reap what you sow!
It's subjective perception. My perception is that you don't exist nor does this post. In fact, what you don't realize is that you typed this post in an altered state of consciousness. You're just talking to yourself.
What's more plausible, that or materialism? You decide.
Trump doesn't get credit for this. We've known this for decades. I'm working at a company where major chunks of the application were written by contractors and H1-B visas. Guess what? The house is on fire with design flaw tickets flying in left and right. Customers are pissed and escalating tickets left and right. Employees are leaving left and right. You get what you pay for.
There is also probably a 'better, alternative' canopener that I can use. And the soda straws at McDonalds are inferior, and I should carry my 'superior' straws along with me to use instead.
You people who live in your little world where your own, personal desktop machine is the only one you ever have to sit down at and use. That hour of customization you do on any machine you are going to use makes you feel superior and techy, eh?
If you want to dig a ditch with a spoon, I won't stop you. However, I will use a back hoe and be done in a fraction of a time enjoying my limited precious time while you're slaving.
The internet is vital to e-Commerce that accounts for a significant chunk of our economic activity. It should be a public utility in the economic interest of every citizen of this entire country.

(facepalm) Ok, ok, remove 418. Fine! But you should have defined 420 - "Like wow, man. You requested some special stuff we don't have man".
they are ALL idiots licking the balls of the upper management
Given that we are talking about an executive manager... are you suggesting they spend copious amounts of time licking their own genitals?
That executive is an idiot.
Aren't they all?
Of course not, they have mad visionary skills, they gots the gap performance evaluations and the stretch goals. You are all not l33t compared to them. You are too stupid to get it.

Also, for some reason Meatpistol sounds like a good name for a metal album, or maybe even the band.
We have a band that covers this... GWAR.
Maybe these figures just reflect that FF users use Noscript?
