Society is all about people living and working together despite disagreeing on important things. Freedom of political speech is everything. If you escalate or retaliate because of political speech you disagree with, you are the bad guy. Refute free expression with free expression, not with violence or economic retaliation or by attempting to shut down the venue of expression.
No one cares about school after your first job. It really doesn't matter.
A good school gives an advantage in getting started (better internships, heavily recruited by the big players), which can add up to a lot over the first decade of employment. But mostly this is just admissions criteria: the guy who got accepted by Stanford would likely have out-eared the average state school guy even if both had gone to the same school, or both skipped college.
The bill for the Obamacare exchanges is still rising, and may yet reach trillions - give it time. And it really wasn't just "crappy" insurance plans that people lost. I know people who have been forced into major life changes as a result of this BS (admitted, people riding the financial edge to begin with, so an extra $5k a year simply can't be done, but there are many people like that today!). Meanwhile, almost all of the newly-covered come from the broadening of Medicaid, and the ability to cover your kids until they're 25. So we could have gotten most of the benefit with none of the exchanges or cancelled policies, had the point of the law actually been "to help people".
Neither president cared who he had to hurt to achieve his political goals. Moral equivalence in my book.
Intolerance abounds these days under the theme of "shouting down bigotry". People blithely unaware they're acting much the same as those who opposed civil rights laws in the first place.
In this specific case, however, eHarmony is perfect for anyone offended by OKCupid's behavior, given their own history here. Heck, this could improve the utility of both dating services by filtering up front on this issue.
Git solves one incredibly important problem: it stops "Linux kernel commit privileges" from being a constant political battle on Linus's part. By making "official builds" pull based, instead of push based, the whole question of "who gets to commit" vanishes and Linus has full control by change, instead of by author - a far less emotional and political thing.
So Git is overwhelmingly better if you're Linus Torvalds. And, hey, that's how open source gets written. If anyone else finds it useful for anything, that's just gravy.
As with everything cloudy, it's few software products but many, many end users.
Well, that and the vast majority of simple programs that don't need ACID to begin with. If you just need a non-ACID structured data store, why bother with SQL? Currently NoSQL is mostly for analytics, but I think that's just habit.
There are no common physical processes that can do this.
There are uncommon processes however. You can "step up" the frequency of light passively, it's just a very rare effect (and of course brightness goes down significantly). "Phase" has nothing to do with it, as the concept is fairly meaningless across frequencies, excepting harmonics.
NoSQL means the same thing it always means, "ACID is hard, so we don't do it."
ACID is expensive to scale. NoSQL offers little when you have 1 or 10 DB servers. But if most of what you store doesn't need to be ACID, and you need 10,000 DB servers, NoSQL has a real cost advantage.
The important thing for people to understand about real, correctly diagnosed, psychiatric conditions it that they're physical in nature; they're due to chemical problems in the brain. You can no more overcome them with willpower than you can "walk off" a broken leg.
For all we like to think of the mind as being software, the fact is that brain chemistry has deep and profound effects on how we think. Our ability to "steer" our thought processes, to focus or stop obsessing, to synthesize our conscious perception of the world around us from actual sense data and not from fiction, all that sort of thing requires specific neuron chemistry. If the raw materials aren't there, the brain goes off the rails in pretty extreme ways.
"Lies for children" are a well-understood teaching tool that have nothing to do with "social white lies". It's not the former that socially-awkward people have problems with.
If you can't adjust your bedtime by one hour, you may have a medical condition
Indeed, it is so. It's a pretty common one. Most people can adjust by one hour in either direction. Some like me can easily do +2 or -0 a day - my circadian rhythm is simply too long.
People without this problem call us "lazy" or "whiners", because mocking a physical disability is always good for a laugh.
When the onset of DST ("daylight deposit day") was stable, that was one thing, but now congress feels the need to change it just to show the people who's boss. Now it's a wonderful surprise of a Sunday morning.
Surely this isn't linked to the time people go to bed and rise, but the amount of sleep they get. So to reduce the risk of a heart attack, just get more sleep
The is how "morning people" have been misunderstanding "night owls" for centuries. Here's why you're wrong: I cannot go to sleep on demand. I can wake up on demand, thanks to my alarm clock, I can stay up later than my body wants me to, but I cannot make my body go to sleep any earlier than it wants to (without addictive drugs).
So, yes, if you fuck with the clocks like an inconsiderate fucking fucker, I'll lose an hour of sleep. Nothing I can do about it. And since it takes me a few days to adjust to getting up 1 hour earlier (the norm is only 1 day per hour), I miss an hour's sleep for a few days after the clock change.
Caching is mostly the OSs job. There's no point in reading less than 32K in a single operation, even if the userland is just requesting 1 byte (and usually reading 256k or so at a time makes sense). The OS, not the drive or controller, should be caching at that level.
That's why it's odd that an SSD would want a cache. A spinning disk has other concernes, and needs to do read-ahead caching and (for better drives) optimize the command queue, both of which require a place to stick read data until it's put on the bus. But SSDs don't care about read order or sequentially, so it's curious.
As other have said, it must help out or Samsung's engineers wouldn't have put it there, so what's it for?
Ahh, I gotcha. The problem then is the lack of vendors for those tools! Microsoft makes a decent suite, but it doesn't scale (and since it's value increases with scale, you'd have thought they'd focus on that!). Linus Torvalds had a remarkable-enough project in Git itself: who would lead the still-larger problem of an integrated package as an open source project? And yet many large companies do this internally.
Sure, sure, but that's a complete non-sequitur where you responded. There are big companies with internal dev infrastructure teams who make their customers, the devs, happy by integrating this stuff (or fail to). But it's a shame this wheel keeps getting re-invented, and for a small shop there's just no way.
Yes, yes I do consider that unacceptable. Free political speech is really quite important to me, and you can't have it if people are targeted for retaliation (even if not by the government) for their political expression. Because nothing is different between that and the early civil right supporters aside from our opinions on whether they were correct in their beliefs. If we don't have true freedom of quite objectionable political speech, we don't have democracy.
Heh, some "bunker builds" are all stockpiled out. One recent blog comment I read: "I'm done buying ammo. I have more than I can fire in my life, and it's starting to look like "Hoarders" around here".
But I don't see it. In most states, state and local governments are fixing their financial problems and getting their act together. Since the federal government doesn't directly do much that's useful day-to-day, I think we'll be fine through a federal collapse and reboot. Police, fire, roads, schools, all of it could continue fine without the federal government for years.
I agree. But we can do hard things. Heck, software development is the only place left where I see humanity taking on projects with the complexity of the old "wonder of the world" civil engineering projects. (The logistics chain management done by folks like WalMart and Amazon really is equally complex, but then it's mostly software).
VS / TFS works, but it doesn't scale to large projects. The VS ecosystem has always had that problem. MS should really fix that, because otherwise I like the tools.

More like the Nikon F...wait...no, looks like it goes on clockwise...like a Canon and every *other* bayonet mount in the history of photography, then.
Seriously, except for the scale, how is this novel and non-obvious?
It's wasn't novel and non-obvious when it was first used for cameras, which is sort of obvious from the "bayonet" part of bayonet mount.
Sadly, with the current patent office, April fools jokes are indistinguishable from reality.

Apple seriously uses Outlook Exchange for their mail servers, though.
[Archer]You can just say "Exchange"[/Archer]
And the iCloud is stored on Azure. The whole "Onion or Reality" test can be difficult in tech these days.

Give it time. Just like string theory, it will be a generational thing.
And what a manly man you are. Now brag about how much you bench press. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
