As part of Mr. Lee's good neighbor policy, all Rat Things are programmed never to break the sound barrier in a populated area. But Fido's in too much of a hurry to worry about the good neighbor policy. Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise.
There are no misspelled words in the quoted excerpt. The error is improper use of the word "then" versus the presumptively intended word "than," and thus the mistake is classified as a grammatical error.
I didn't see your reply here until I'd already posted my own, but wanted to take this opportunity to say you brought a smile to my face this morning. If you ever find yourself anywhere near Dallas TX, I'd be glad to buy you a beer.
I happen to largely agree with BasilBrush, and I must note that your arrogance is not only positively dripping, but quite possibly misplaced. It is likely that I not only earn significantly more than you, but also maintain a lower overall cost of living (even while supporting my family), resulting in a substantial net economic edge over your position. It is highly likely that I possess deeper knowledge in the areas you listed (distributed systems, concurrency, databases, patterns, functional programming, network and OS fundamentals, etc) than you do, and I'm probably younger than you at 33. While I've been programming since childhood, I am a high school dropout.
Instead of crowing about houses and planes, I'm rather more interested in considering how I might leverage my present position to build an even better one over the next few years, hopefully one that provides even more opportunities for young programmers and systems people to shine. While my "day job" title is a senior engineering role and I report directly to C-levels, I'm typically more interested in helping other employees learn and advance in the workplace than I am in tooting my own horn at the office.
Always remember: businesses are made of people, and there's always someone brighter and/or better equipped than you, sometimes closer than you think. Whether you take it as mentoring or not, my advice to you would be to spend a bit of time in introspection and in furtherance of your interpersonal skills.
If you had any sense, you'd understand that regardless of the reason(s) you've found yourself interacting with the police, the only sensible course of action would be to have all communications handled by your lawyer(s). Don't worry, you're far from alone in your lack of sense, and that is precisely why fairly rudimentary law enforcement pressure (rightly or wrongly) works as often as it does.
I'm guessing my last comment lost a point due to some sockpuppet mod account of yours. So let me repeat it: "Go fuck yourself with your spam links." I can do this all you like. Get fucked.
I'll repeat the note that I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. Failure to consent to participation in a production does not imply assignment of copyright. Perhaps you were thinking of case law involving works produced for hire; I'm confident the victim didn't pay to have his own execution rendered to video, unless you count paying with his life. Perhaps I'm missing something here and his estate will come forward with a claim for financial damages on grounds of copyright, though. Should such a claim arise, I'd be keenly interested to see learn of their intended collection mechanism.
Thank you for informing us that the term "journalism" has become a proper noun. I'm sure everyone is glad to know "you're" is now spelled "your'e" as well. Do you still feel clever?
I certainly hope so; I'd have to rate you as severely cognitively impaired otherwise. Please be advised that I'm a former service member and a firm believer in the exercise of second amendment rights. Have a great day, and if you're thinking of coming to visit, enjoy your flight!
I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. It would seem that unless ISIS initiates content removal requests, the media in question would not be subject to ordinary reproduction restrictions, as it was released for public distribution by ISIS. This said, I urge you to consult competent legal counsel regarding jurisdictional considerations.
It's not him silly, it's "the people of the UK", who are you to claim immunity from the democratic will of society, where does this immunity end?
I don't care about relevant rules/restrictions/regulations/laws adhered to the by people the UK in matters such as this; that's largely my point. My immunity starts where their jurisdiction stops.
Your overreacting to something the head cop said "could" be considered illegal. I think if you dig a bit deeper than the click bait headline you'll find his real message was more along the lines of - "Yes we all know it's shocking, but please stop reacting as intended by those who perpetrated this act". There's also a cultural difference in the way the UK justice system operates, as a general rule UK public prosecutors are nowhere near as eager to be associated with frivolous convictions and "plea bargaining" as their US counterparts seem to be. UK society in general is less tolerant of "anti-social behaviour", it's their idea of "keeping the peace" and it works rather well for "the people of the UK".
I'd love to offer you the excuse that you must be unfamiliar with the way the UK treats freedom of expression, but judging by your last sentence you're plainly aware of the true state of affairs. You didn't even do a passable job of prettying it up with your preceding statements. At least we're in agreement that the UK clearly operates under different rules. Public communication of possible state criminal prosecution due to the dissemination of information such as the video in question amounts to one thing only: a veiled threat, no matter how politely put it may be. I don't have to accept that from where I sit.
Yeah right, you tell 'em how it is internet tough guy, lol.
Internet tough guy? I post with my full name, and my residential address is easy to come by. Please tell me you're not so cognitively impaired that you can't figure it out. I'll be glad to have this discussion with you in person if you like; please feel free to swing by the house whenever you like. I do ask that you provide a bit of advance notice, as I wouldn't want to mistake you for an unwelcome guest and take unfortunate adverse actions upon your arrival.
Disclaimer, not the AC, who btw has as much right to his privacy as the Foley family does to theirs.
You're absolutely correct that the AC I responded to has a right to his privacy. I have a corresponding right to call him a coward, and not simply in the AC sense. As for considerations regarding Foley's family wishes, he was a United States citizen. As soon as I receive a valid written communication from the his estate to the effect that they don't want people directly appraised of the savage acts committed against him, I'll gladly act in accordance with said wishes. As for your wishes on the matter, I suggest you print them out on quality cardstock, roll the pages into a neat little cylinder, and go fuck yourself with it. Enjoy, champ.
I firmly dispute the ability to move faster and easier with a weapon at hip level, and this is from personal experience moving while firing. Firing a rifle from the hip while moving is at best a waste of ammunition which you're likely to wish you'd used more carefully thereafter, and at worst an invitation for adversaries to leverage the opportunity to eliminate you with reduced fear of being hit themselves.
I'll add one point to my last comment. Please attempt to have me brought up on charges; I'm not difficult to find. Given your position on these matters, I'd adore the opportunity to leverage the justice system and whatever ancillary measures are necessary to discover and publicize your identity. You speak boldly, but I doubt you possess the fortitude to see your name attached to your statements.
Society has decided that your freedom to disseminate terrorist propaganda is not worth the lives of the extra hostages terrorists would take if they knew their propaganda would be successful.
Nonsense on two counts. (1) Who are you to dictate the ethical positions of those viewing this information? I find the information in question to be a remarkably effective tool for educating others about the realities of such savage acts, and to urge them directly defy those who directly sponsor such savagery. (2) Even assuming the material is considered to be in support of terrorism by officials in a particular portion of society, that their citizens have decided to permit silly and hazy laws to be enacted against distribution of such material instead devoting government resources to combating actual acts of terror, and that those citizens have decided to permit their elected officials to threaten their little corner of the planet with those laws, I don't give a damn. My portion of society isn't affected by those threats, and thus those who might consider attempting to threaten me under inapplicable jurisdictions are welcome to go fuck themselves. Apparently, you're invited to the latter party. Would you care for some lube?
KSM efficacy is of course workload dependent; I specifically nodded to this factor as follows:
On a host running many similar guests, extremely large gains in memory deduplication may be seen.
I'm not experiencing issues with memory performance. Could you cite specific data you've collected in your environment? Perhaps huge pages would be helpful for your use case.
Assuming more than a handful of application instances, a container solution is nearly certain to be less prudent. Please feel free to reach out to me via email if you'd like to collaborate on potentially better approaches to the problems you're tackling.

Your auditors are full of shit. Out of curiosity, does your organization use anything from Dell?

Copyright doesn't apply to productions made in the course of a criminal act, and with that, we're done.
I firmly dispute the ability to move faster and easier with a weapon at hip level, and this is from personal experience moving while firing. Firing a rifle from the hip while moving is at best a waste of ammunition which you're likely to wish you'd used more carefully thereafter, and at worst an invitation for adversaries to leverage the opportunity to eliminate you with reduced fear of being hit themselves.
That fits the context well enough with regard to certain parties being welcome to go fuck themselves.
I'll add one point to my last comment. Please attempt to have me brought up on charges; I'm not difficult to find. Given your position on these matters, I'd adore the opportunity to leverage the justice system and whatever ancillary measures are necessary to discover and publicize your identity. You speak boldly, but I doubt you possess the fortitude to see your name attached to your statements.
I am, however, acquainted with the fictional journalist Zoe Barnes. The re-imagining of "House of Cards" has been a good series thus far.
Thanks for the clarification; I have not heard of her, as I am not at all interested in videogame journalism.
