It was a genocide. There may have been awful things happened to precipitate it, but it was a genocide and the record is fairly clear on this.
It would take courage for Turkey to accept this part of their past, apologize for it, and show that they are big enough to accept the bad and the good in their past. But they aren't, nationally, and these hackers are an example of that.
So when is the USA gonna 'fess up about its genocide of the native Americans?
This election won't be about gender or any substantive issues. The only choice is going to be between Crazy and Not Crazy and Hillary wins that going away.
Yeah. It's not like there are third parties or anything. First-past-the-post is an awesome electoral system!
No staging area - having to learn (and remember to keep constantly using) the mq extension to get similar-but-more-complex functionality - breaks the tie for me. In git's favour.
When I'm forced to use TFS for a project, I use Git locally and Git-TFS to keep them in sync. Now I commit often, all day long, tracking all my changes and (relatively) easy rolling them back or reordering them if necessary.
Lucky you. Where I am, we have such an enormous amount of crap checked into TFS classic that Git-TFS can't handle it.:-(
"Usually when I work, so much of my thought process is internal monologue," he said, "but with live streaming I try to narrate my thought process out loud. This has forced me to think through problems a little differently than I otherwise would, which has been really beneficial for me."
Yeah, just wait until you're in an actual office with other developers who try to narrate their thought processes out loud. You'll be wanting to throw chairs through windows in no time.
On average, developers who work remotely earn more than developers who don't.
I'm in the UK. Someone really needs to tell me how you get this double-whammy of goodness. I always end up getting employers that require me to be physically in the office and, apparently, lower wages.:-(
Ruby isn't a compiled (type-safe) language, so it sucks on that front. I also don't like the ability to call methods without using brackets after the method name. JavaScript gets this right by causing that to be a *reference* to the method. Then you have some weird unintuative syntax like needing to access members of hashes using a colon prefix (myArray[:test]). So no, I don't like Ruby at all.
Why do people want to take proprietary languages and libraries and use them on open source projects?
Speaking for myself - because C# w/.NET wipes the floor with the competition, including Java. New, useful features being introduced regularly. Properties, lambdas, LINQ, web frameworks like OWIN that aren't massively over-complicated, etc.
Uh no, overpower the one guy who is trying to crash the plane, and land it. Yes, I'm sure there would always be 1 or 2 people on the plane who could be guided into landing it safely.
Why would the cabin crew have the code? The code is for the pilots. If the cabin crew want to come in then the pilots unlock the door from the inside. If your'e talking about eliminating edge cases, giving the entire cabin crew the code is a great place to start looking.
Erm, this is a good idea, but surely the cabin crew WOULD have the code. If one pilot incapacitates the other, the cabin crew realize the plane is going down, they need to get into the cockpit. It's OK because as long as both pilots are AOK, you can't get in - terrorists locked out. But one crazy pilot tries to crash the plane, the second one refuses to stop the door unlocking - plane saved.
what are we left with? keep the door open and we have murderous hijacking? keep the door locked and we have murderous pilots? yeah both are extremely rare outliers, but it's fucking scary either way
Give the pilots (NOT the cabin staff) PIN numbers that cannot be overridden from inside. That way at least the pilot could have forced the door open. Have the pilots immediately go to and stay in the cockpit any time a terrorist situation looks vaguely possible.
A guy capable of killing himself and 150 other people like this is perfectly capable of knocking the flight attendants lights out before locking the door, and if he really intended to crash the plane... he would indeed punch her/him out first.
Yep, totally agree. I'm amazed I haven't seen the solution I came up with posted elsewhere; simply give the pilots PIN codes that can't be overridden from inside. In a suspected terrorist situation, tell the pilots to immediately get into the cockpit, and if necessary, take a bullet to the head instead of let terrorists into the cockpit.
So I just bring up copies of the Skeptics Annotated Quran on my browser and then -- wait for it -- close the browser window. Just like that, I make my current copy of the Quran disappear, even worse than just burning it.
Always restart the PC to make sure it's not still in memory.
Yeah, I find it difficult to get better at French because exposure to it is difficult: it seems like the French generally get annoyed quickly with people who don't speak Fluent French, and the one site that was quite good for being able to speak with those who were willing (Livemocha) got bought out by Rosetta Stone and totally fucked over.
Are there any decent online resources now for being immersed in a new language?

Their director general is even named 'bigot'! :-)

So have a checkin hook that refuses to accept any checkins with lines that don't match /^([^\ ]\t*[^\t]*)|$/
Linus actually likes 8 space tabs, on the grounds that if indentation starts to push code off the edge of the screen your code is wrong.
Good job I have a 5000px ultra-widescreen monitor. :-)
Have you ever hiked long distances with a bottle of vodka? I have. It's not the vodka that's the PITA, it's the bottle.
Buy a metal canteen.

Yeah, until they turn it into a "household levy" or something because "everyone loves and uses the BBC and they are so awesome omg!!!"
Daylight robbery.

Depends how much radiation is being emitted. Virtually everything is radioactive to some degree. A small amount of radiation is OK.

recommending low flow shower heads
No no no!!! God damnit I hate this initiative. I want powerful showers, not a pathetic trickle. I consider it a good use of water.
Even If I'm french speaking, all my OS's and devices are configured for English
Subtle indication that English isn't your first language there. The French say "Meme si..." but in English we tend to say "Even though...".
Yes and no.
English happens to be a pretty easy language to learn, as well as having been used by major world powers.
If you don't believe me, check out the French conjugation for a verb like "leave" and then compare it to the English.
Yeah, I find it difficult to get better at French because exposure to it is difficult: it seems like the French generally get annoyed quickly with people who don't speak Fluent French, and the one site that was quite good for being able to speak with those who were willing (Livemocha) got bought out by Rosetta Stone and totally fucked over.
Are there any decent online resources now for being immersed in a new language?
The smallest example being that in formal English the passive-voice is discouraged
Discouraged by whom? The MS Word grammar checker?
I've always thought discouraging the passive voice to make sentences more "lively" was just idiotic. Use whatever voice is appropriate.
Although I happen to (try and) speak some French, frankly I've managed to speak decent English grammar just by... studying English grammar.
