The OS X terms and conditions say you can't install it on non-Apple hardware :/

From what I saw, it'll be morning before the vote is certified. It looks like only 9 of 380ish voting districts/constituencies/etc. (sorry, I'm not British and don't know what they actually call them).

Oil, natural gas and coal also transport these costs into the future. Why does this stop nuclear and not them?

> It's a classic continental climate; summer heat here is as intense as that of many southern US states.

As someone who grew up outside Buffalo and lives in NC now, this is a big NO.

There are cold streaks (or polar vortexes or whatever the weather people want to call them now) in Atlanta and heat waves in Buffalo and these might cause temperatures to seem similar for a few days per year, but it is NOT the same.

The difference is that these cold streaks last for a couple days in Atlanta and for months in Buffalo, and vice versa for heat waves. Temperatures in the 20s (Fahrenheit, sorry) with dips lower are common for Buffalo all winter, but happen only for a few days at a time (and maybe once per winter) in Atlanta.

And same with the high temps -- temps in the 90s are expected from July thru the end of September in Atlanta, but its only a few days in Buffalo that are that way. Last summer here in Durham, NC, we set a record for days above 90 in a row that was in the high 20s, if not 30s (as in 20 or 30 days in a row). I very clearly remember that my second summer down here didn't even have nightly lows in the 80s. That just doesn't happen up North.

PS: Please forgive me for substituting Buffalo weather for Toronto. It's about the same, but I wanted to accurately represent my anecdotal experiences.

PPS: This should not distract from the fact that weather in Ontario is very similar to weather in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and maybe better than Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, etc.

If you're on OS X, proxychains-ng is a nice alternative to tsocks.

Weird thought -- did you look into flying to GSO? It's ABSURD, but last time I looked, flights from GSO and RDU through CLT were way less than from CLT itself.

AirBnB has a similar style guide for React and has a linter file for eslint with the React plugin. Works pretty well.

I'd like to see more style guides come with similar set ups.

  We are trying to remove Backbone from our codebase entirely.

This is more of a guideline for their particular organization -- they've decided to move away from Backbone and don't want developers adding any new Backbone code.

This was technically stealing.

I'm pretty sure they sell them as the Golf GTI in Europe where the research was done, so probably included under the Golf model.

I want to support artists and stuff, but the music industry is making it so hard for me to do that in good conscience with their anti-consumer stances.

Hell, I even had a non-important, BS Rails app get shut down on shared hosting (Webfaction) because someone tried random WP exploits on it (some plugin that accepted a POST and could be exploited via the payload). Rack stored the payload in a temp file and Webfaction saw the tmp file as a new file I didn't upload and suspended the app.

The first time it happened, I just deleted the file and went forward. The second time, I just deleted the app. I know I could write a script to deal with this, but it was just a test, playground type app. All it did was make me say I needed to move my "blog" off WordPress and stop trying to host Rails apps on Webfaction.

PS: The domain the Rails app was on had never hosted a WP site ever before. WP is just so ubiquitous that that they were just trying to hack any site -- even one that had like 3 organic visitors ever.

Even now, with the 300/20 service TWC offers, it only uses 20 channels (16 down, 4 up -- equivalent to analog channels afaik).

In NC, it's the law to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk.

That said, I'm not sure how the chicken/egg situation worked out but I'm appalled by how pedestrians walk across the street. They just go without looking up from their phones.

The crosswalk by my work has added giant signs and flashing lights and you still see people blow thru at 40+ (speed limit is 25). I'm not sure if I'd be alive if I didn't look both ways before crossing. On the other hand, judging by how mad people are when they stop and you don't cross because someone else isn't stopping, it might not have been much of a gain.

The answer is yes if you do:

    Foo.call({});

After looking at the old chapter again (http://eloquentjavascript.net/1st_edition/chapter6.html), it isn't as intimidating as before. So yeah, maybe it is still mostly all there -- it seems the ES5 syntax makes it way less confusing

From my quick skim checking to see if it was still there, no. He touches on some of the same points, but it's not nearly as in-depth or crazy (in a wonderful, functional way).

I am both quite happy and a little sad that the chapter on functional programming was nixed from the first edition.

It was way over the heads of the beginners the book was aimed at, but it sure was fun to try and figure out.

They are called placeholder selectors if you are looking for them in the Sass documentation.

Even enough support to use flexbox on a daily basis would be great

Messi is a great example of what can happen if you run through the fouls instead of intentionally falling down. Of course, not many people have his ball skills and I bet his low center of gravity helps him stay upright.

On the other hand, it's a great example of why guys do flop -- refs are too bad to call things as they should.

Definitely. Sports star salaries aren't keeping up with growing gate receipts, concession sales, TV DEALS, etc. Especially when you at the short careers and how injury can derail things. Owners/club execs are laughing all the way to the bank.

It's almost more like a guy going broke trying to invest his life savings on a stock tip than a CEO. You fail to ascend to superstardom? You end up with no money, no roots since you've moved around 30 times in five years, few employable skills outside of being physically fit, but wait... you're not physically fit because your body is broken from years of abuse.

> Together, the two programs show that postal mail is subject to the same kind of scrutiny that the National Security Agency has given to telephone calls and e-mail.

Uhh, I'm pretty sure the NSA scrutiny included the bodies of said calls and emails. I'm slightly offended by an agency tracking who I'm in contact with, but I've very offended by an agency knowing why I'm in contact with said person.

I had kind of noticed this in my casual viewing and this test confirms it: my Apple TV does a much better job of keeping the resolution and bitrate up than my TiVo. Also, they both do much better job than Chrome on my Mac.

Since both companies are public, the term doesn't fit 100%, but it seems more like a reverse merger to me.

T-Mobile already does something similar in the US with their MetroPCS network. They've started to open the old MetroPCS network up to T-Mobile users and vice versa by broadcasting multiple MNC (mobile network codes) from the same antennas. If a phone call comes through, it'll hand off to T-Mobile's GSM network or the old MetroPCS CDMA network.

I think Orange and T-Mobile do something similar in the UK with their shared EE network and Verizon with their LTE in Rural America partners in the Great Plains/Maine/etc.

More likely that they slowly decommission the CDMA network as both networks move towards being 100% LTE.

I don't think the players matter much in the valuation of a franchise outside of winners = more money.

I've been very, very slowly building something similar to this for a long, long time and this is looks like it's 3x as awesome as the goal I had set for myself in my head.

At first glance, I'm not a fan, but after thinking about it, I'm thinking it might help new users gain karma quicker if they are good citizens, which would help deal with some of my concerns.

Those with greater than 1000 karma will now have more of a reason to upvote comments, whereas before, they might have mildly found a comment not awful but not upvoted it because there was no reason to.

We'll see what happens.
