And yet I can go a-chopping anywhere but the brain without cognitive deficit, but even a little scraping of the cortex has a notable effect. The brain is fed and maintained by the body, and as such is vulnerable to the body's failures, but such a connection doesn't exactly break down the difference between mind and body.
Check out lit.sh, it's a super simple shell script that does what you're after: https://github.com/vijithassar/lit It's basically a one way markdown to commented source converter. One really slick thing is that since it just comments out the markdown you lose no information about line numbers and can interpret errors from your compiler, etc. with ease (something which is almost impossible with more complex literate programming systems like noweb).
Why do they want to look through all my emails to get this data? It's available via the uber api, is it not?
According to the National Climatic Data Center, the world just saw its warmest winter ever…except for in one spot in the north Atlantic ocean (the deepest blue color above), which set a record for cold. Which is not good. (NCDC)

These new NOAA data got me quite worried because they indicate that this partial recovery that we describe in the paper was only temporary, and the circulation is on the way down again

Honest question: is such a small data point (a couple of months) for something relatively slow (climate change) really something to worry about? Suppose I call it an outlier (which I can't because I cannot look into the future), wouldn't that be equally wrong?
Just because your HTML, JS and CSS are in different files doesn't change the fact that they are tightly coupled. React dispenses with this superficial separation and groups presentation, behavior and styling of the same UI element together. I've found it much easier to reason about.
Fair enough, I'm not familiar with that service.

Running a Node.js application without a reverse proxy in front of it sounds like poor practice though, particularly from a security standpoint.
So if India and all its cities had 4 times as many people would it be better off? The population is so high that wages are so low that talented people are fleeing the country.

Indeed if mega-cities were a good thing then Pakistan, Nigeria and the Congo should be doing better than Japan. Excepting just 6 out of 84, your list thoroughly proves my point; over crowding correlates with societies with suppressed labor value.

And by the way, in spite of adding endless supply of housing, none of these cities have cheaper real-estate than the rest of their country.
No, but if an analogous bug happened (systemd forgot to set an internal squidroot variable before clearing the squidroot, for instance), it would be much, much harder to figure out what was going on. Which is really what everybody's complaints boil down to.
Python is very much an established languages and myths like these need to go away in order for people to feel comfortable using python for serious, well designed projects that scale and do every and any thing that a person may want or need. Great post.
How do you verify that people are actually posting historic data instead of random garbage, without either (1) you yourself already having access to that historic data, or (2) looking up each tweet through a Twitter API to verify that it is actually real?

If you can't verify that the tweets are real, what is the incentive for anyone to post real tweets, instead of just streaming random garbage into your system in exchange for coins?
You also run the risk that they will just hang up on you. Nobody gets a bonus for letting you go.

this definitely has made me reconsider starting a blog
>> I don't know why devs and designers at these companies don't fix this

Because they are not in charge.

The product/ad/business team could "fix" this, and then what would happen is they'd layoff some folks (usually editorial side) a few months later as the revenue drop hits home.
Is there data that indicates that remote work is worse just because of the pandemic, or under ideal conditions, pre covid did remote work stats also indicate worse performance.

Without further information i do not understand how this can be disambiguated.

Myself, after a year of remote, i see pros/cons, but the overall situation of a pandemic is just soul crushing.
PLTCL and PLPerl are 2 better approaches indeed.
lol, that hold GDP or whatever the f-- its called is so stupid. I have often thought netscape creators should have called them "herpes" instead of "cookies" then we wouldn't be in this situation.

> if you're a rich white guy

Amazing how skin color is the first thing brought up by those (presumably) fighting racism. Ironic?

And my point is that aside from the pendantry about DDGs affect specifically... the result will be scoring systems based on more than just financial capabilities. IE: "we don't want to lend to those who use DDG because they are rich white guys". Deplatforming based on perceived "facts".
There are ways the government can force the ISPs to shutdown the internet, like cutting their electricity or takeover their system... Even if solutions like Bridgefy works, they still cannot communicate with people outside the nation, and I wonder if the government can just find out people using the system and arrest them.

I think it would be more useful to think of measure to hide under surveillance, and access outside information even if ISP block some of the connections to outer internet. This is what currently happening in China, an arm race between the state and developers.
If you're using mootools, I've written a simple wrapper for Embedly (available under BSD).

This masquerades as a sincere personal connection to the country when it is simply a short sighted rant. Brazil is coming into its own on the world stage, but not following the same paradigms as India and China. Goldman Sachs and other investment banks are moving hi-freq shops into the country because the margins are exponentially higher than in US. This information alone bodes well for the country as the government and these global corporations cooperate in developing the necessary infrastructure to support their operations especially i.t.o. internet pipelines.

The advent of Rio as host for the olympics is further evidence of restructuring that the Brazilian government has achieved. And despite the inevitable cost of the infrastructure development outweighing short term gains, the long term gains (see Shanghai Expo 2010) will catapult Rio into the same stratosphere as an India or a China.

On entrepreneurship, I'll be honest I am not up on details, but there have been significant articles about particularly financial start ups, which confirm the rapid evolution Brazil is undergoing.
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it doesn't state under what conditions Google complies with requests:

"The “data requests” numbers reflect the number of requests we received about the users of our services and products from government agencies like local and federal police. They don’t indicate whether we complied with a request for data in any way. When we receive a request for user information, we review it carefully and only provide information within the scope and authority of the request. We may refuse to produce information or try to narrow the request in some cases."
The limit is 600kb; I'll have to publically document that. Only 3% of GitHub's one million CSV files go over that limit.

As you might imagine, shoving in that many rows into the DOM kills any browser. G
Yes and no. Tyranny always exploits something you previously took for granted as safe, necessary, good.
You would be rightly skeptical of an athlete’s endorsement of a brand of shoes they are being paid to sponsor, even though a disinterested athlete would be well qualified to comment, as a professional.

Similarly, in this case “paid for by the Koch brothers” is the most relevant part of his qualification here, not “surgeon”.
That would be extremely gutsy on the part of the TSA employee... I go through the pat-down dance at least once a month, and that test is always done while I'm standing there, and the pass/fail reports are quite obvious (big green/red boxes with text).
Sure, but "fly for a third of the sunlight time" would mean flying for ~ 4 hours per day.
From my perspective it started getting pushed as soon as they raised from Andreesen at a $100M valuation.

It seems like a massive moonshot fueled by hype and VC money. No clue what the big vision is though.
For martingales (stochastic processes whose expected value given the current value is the current value) there is no strategy that does better (on average) than the (expected) initial value (Doob's optional stopping theorem).

Not really. Rules of statutory construction generally say that you need to use a definition from the dictionary if it's not defined in the statute. Webster's basically says without delay.

However, it's somewhat ambiguous. The principle of lenity is supposed to interpret ambiguity in favor of the defendant... it rarely happens.
Wow that was FAST. I love this. Every other social platform has danced around this, seemingly, bc ads. Brilliant growth move here.
Replying to myself to add, which may have dramatically helped keep other hospitalizations and doctor visits lower allowing providers to focus on Covid-19.
> Yet, with no Android app and an increasing amount of competitors copying the hell out of Clubhouse, I can only see this going in the way of Meerkat, Yik Yak and Periscope. (By being shut down)

We'll of course have to wait and see, but I don't imagine that Clubhouse will be entirely displaced. What's unique about Clubhouse is not the concept of a Clubhouse room itself, which is essentially a Discord channel with basic moderation capabilities, but the community it has created. For the moment at least, Clubhouse is chock full of cool and influential people.

Clubhouse rooms range from typical seminars, to loosely moderated discussions, to essentially chat rooms. The cool thing is you run into people who have interesting stories and lives. For instance, attending a seminar on nuclear disarmament with New York Times reporters, public policymakers, and whatever random influential people show up to pop up on stage. Or attending a discussion on Tibet where Ai Wei Wei, Tibetan monks, and other dissidents pop in.

Another interesting product of Clubhouse is that it's opened a large forum for Chinese-language public discussion. Clubhouse is one of the very few online places I've seen people willing to speak frankly on sensitive political issues in Chinese, perhaps because Clubhouse rooms are (at least nominally) ephemeral, leaving no record. Even though Clubhouse is now blocked in China, a lot of this discussion is continuing, with voices on all sides of the political spectrum.
You can always find people believing all sorts of things.
I think GP was just being facetious with the Mitt Romney comment, not trying to start a discussion about corporate personhood, etc., etc.
Further afield again, We Were Burning http://www.worldcat.org/title/we-were-burning-japanese-entre... is a cracking history of the consumer electronics industry (largely distinct from the MITI-favoured computer firms) in Japan, and sometimes elsewhere.
I think it's an unreasonably high standard to expect Israel to vaccinate Palestanians in the occupied territories before Israelis. Going from that stance to saying (all?) Israelis treat Palestinians as subhuman is also a bit of a stretch. Are Americans treating Canadians as subhumans by not allowing Pfizer to ship vaccines from its US factory to Canada? In Judaism "the poor of your city" come first. What other country in the world is giving their bought vaccine allotment first to someone else or promoting anything that looks like worldwide equal distribution where every human on this planet has equal access?

And sure, as a fellow Jew I'd like to believe we're better than everyone else, but hey, we're not. I guess maybe better than some.

The complexity of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict can't be reduced to these simplistic terms. Anyone can take some specific incident or piece of data out of context and make their case around it, and all sides take every opportunity to do so while at the same time refusing to accept any responsibility to how they got to where things stand today.

I do hope that once Israel has finished vaccinating its population it will extend the additional vaccines to the PA and to Gaza, I think it's in their own interest and it's the right thing to do.
I too love coding on linux, and have been doing so exclusively since the 90s.

But I must admit there's quite a hill to climb before you're sufficiently steeped in this environment to feel like it's a welcoming home.

And it's not perfect, but nothing is. Just the other day I wanted to burn someone at the stake after wasting an hour rediscovering Debian broke /etc/vim/vimrc.local overrides of defaults.vim for users lacking a ~/.vimrc, while simultaneously making defaults.vim enable the absolute worst mouse settings anyone using vim for decades could ever be forced to use in an xterm.

But that's also an indication of how exceptional it has become for my GNU/Linux boxes to not behave precisely as I want and expect at all times. One little thing like that and it feels like the world has been turned upside down.

When you develop on and for a Libre OS like this long enough, it becomes part yours. I live in my own window manager, hacking mostly on my own projects, in an operating system running system code I've contributed to both professionally and personally. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, I'm really not sure. But it certainly facilitates a unique and strong relationship with the machine.
For the conveyor, and the work from
the time the planes arrived at the hub until they
left, was an issue. We had a guy,
Mike Basch, Senior VP Planning,
from Rapistan, big in conveyor systems.

I got involved for a while: I tried to
do a continuous time, discrete
state space Monte Carlo simulation,
but it got too big to do at all
easily and we dropped it.

So, the hub design was done with just
back of the envelope arithmetic
and engineering. It worked fine
for years.

Over the years, the fleet
scheduling problem went through
various phases.

The first phase that worked
at all well was just my
software.

The last time
I checked (I'd left for my Ph.D.),
the package volume was high
enough that
one of Fred's ideas became the
solution: At noon, have all the
planes at distant cities.
Then, in the evening, loaded up,
all the planes fly to Memphis.
Nearly all the flights are
non-stop -- one plane, one flight,
one city served. So, net, first
cut, no scheduling problem at all.

Maybe there could still be problems
for scheduling maintenance,
considerations for remote sort
hubs and/or international service,
but that was all after I left.
How they expect to use it in JS? obj.['first-name']? No way.
Another way to think about that point is that the error ranges for many of these values are quite large.
I'm not worried about you getting in trouble, I'm worried about those that visit your site.

Shut it down until you understand the basics of operating a site that 'anyone can edit', fix the problems and then re-launch. This is simply asking for misery, and not just yours.
The F3Q is incredibly mediocre, but it's the best we'll get for quite some time.

The dearth of decent android QWERTY phones is enough to make me consider switching to BB. I don't need my phone to do that much, but typing well is the difference between a toy that plays games and runs Facebook, and a useful tool that I can type emails on, ssh from, etc.
That's outside the scope of the tool. You're supposed to prevent malware from compromising your phone. At the very least this scheme requires an attacker to implant malware on your phone as opposed to just monitoring/intercepting communications to and from it.
> virtually all attacks on the mainland were carried out in London

Well, except for the one that devastated central Manchester (which was called in, and backfired spectacularly, but was still extremely significant).
> Because something hasn't happened yet it can't is your claim?

I could be wrong, but I think the claim is more "the fact that some people, even a large number of people, feel uncomfortable is not scientific evidence that something is dangerous." Or, "the ability to tell a story about some possible disaster doesn't actually make that disaster likely or possible."

I went to high school in Riverside, California. UC Riverside has an incredible entomology department ( http://www.entomology.ucr.edu/ ). I'm glad that UCR is able to largely escape notice when it wants to study all kinds of invasive species, even if people who have no understanding of how the lab works can come up with nightmare scenarios involving escaped insects or lab workers infected with rare, deadly and contagious diseases. My opinion isn't based on the fact that none of those nightmare scenarios has happened yet; it's based on the fact that the people who know what they're talking about say that those scenarios are literally impossible.
Probably an NSA Agent to misinform.
All I'm trying to say is that this DDoS is pretty obviously being perpetrated by the PRC. Regardless of the attack vector, isn't this an important global political issue? Most attacks are carried out by fringe groups, and while I'm sure governments carry out attacks like this all the time... normally they aren't so obvious.
> Reminds me of Javascript

How exactly? Pike is no closer to JavaScript than to Python for example. Out of languages I know I think only Boo looks a bit similar - Pike is it's own thing, it's design is based on earlier LPC language, which IIRC existed years before JavaScript, Python, Ruby and PHP.

BTW, LPC was fun to work with, too: prototype-based OO, mix of static and dynamic typing similar to that of Dylan, shadowing (a bit like mixins, but not quite) and inherent liveness of the system (as proposed by Self and Smalltalk, just using text UI instead of GUI) made it very exciting language for the me back then: a fledgeling C++ programmer. IIRC it was byte-compiled, too. LPC suffered because it was too closely tied to the idea of a MUD (there were other commercial applications of it, though) and I think Pike tried to fix this. But in the process Pike made the MUD-creators community less interested in it, which drastically reduced its initial user base.
I would love to hear your guys' thoughts and ideas.

Btw, if you haven't already registered for one of the upcoming Hacker News grubs, there are a couple more slots available: http://www.grubwith.us/groups/hacker-news
Website needs some work. The "wide" and "narrow" collar choices are backwards! (the shirt image on left doesn't match up with the button selection) which was enough to make me instantly lose all confidence in my order.
How far is this from web content supported by advertisement?
As you say, from the perspective of the program any scheduling interleaving is possible. The OS can substitute a new scheduling algorithm any time it likes. Otherwise we could know that the possible set of executions is much smaller than the set of all interleavings, and could write our concurrent code based upon that assumption. Then we'd be SOL when anyone tweaked the scheduler.
True about the gamma energy dependence, of course, but alpha and beta won't really get to the sensor unless the decay is inside the camera. And even gamma doesn't have that long range, even in air. You pretty much have to have contamination nearby.
This is no longer true as of iOS 4.
So to simplify, what I'm gathering from this, and other comments, is:

Concurrency occurs when program semantics allow two threads of execution to be executed in a simultaneous or interleaved manner.

Parallelism occurs when two program threads actually execute simultaneously.

By the way, I still have problems with the use of "non-determinism" here. Contrary to what you say, schedulers do not schedule threads randomly. But looked at from the perspectice of program semantics, that might as well be the case, which is (I think) the reason people keep bringing that up.
Steve Jobs once described himself as "the best programmer I know".

I think I read this in the book "Apple Confidential"
Sorry, where does it say it's built on Ace? The copy says Atom is the code editing component.
I'm convinced that this type of technology + some advancements in kinetic technology will allow for artificial telekinesis in the future. I don't know if it will be in my lifetime, but I would love to control it.

It could be billed based on the energy required to translate the objects.
True. Of course the need for all that parallel processing can sometimes be replaced with intelligence, such as the new video codecs that leverage machine learning. Maybe CPUs will be better for video if those codecs start to dominate.
For what it's worth, Windows Explorer has very good keyboard support.
Yeah I agree with that. Bash (and friends) scripts are awful. PS scripts are nice and readable, and not subject to the insane quirks of bash ([ vs [[ vs test? come on)

Seems like the real solution is separating scripts from interactive use.
Amen to that. I do welcome the return of "spread out" computing. I agree ease of use is important, but putting everything the CPU microcomputer style makes for a very imperative notion of ease of. Ergonomics without that would be much more elegant.
NeRF is a good example of a network that doesn't have convolutions yet requires a ton of iterations to train. This paper is particularly relevant to wide networks which are important because CPU memory is currently much cheaper than GPU memory (even for FANG researchers!).

No one should be able to excuse their bad behavior by saying, "But it was my job!" Each person is individually responsible for their actions.
I think eliminating loopholes and raising the taxes on everyone is a subset of selecting both of the tax cut eliminations. Or at least that's how the NYT sees it.
You could just install Ubuntu server and then add the GUI stuff you want.

Ironically enough, the two tax cuts both involve doing nothing and both save so much that it is half of the deficit. I can easily get it up to 300 with some tax-based changes that are a) not that bad for anyone in particular, and b) should be a burden we all have anyways.
The per-pupil spending graph reminds me of the healthcare spending as a percent of gdp graph. They are both symptoms of the very American ideology that the only way to improve anything is to blindly spend more money on it.
My solution: http://t.co/sQ3yuns (36% from tax increase, 64% from spending cuts)

Tried to take on the challenge of solving it without needing to let the Bush tax cuts expire. No national sales tax, no closing of tax breaks on mortgage interest payments (saying it's a loophole is bullshit, it's a tax deduction, not some shady offshore money funnel), lots of military cuts except for compensation & benefits.
How would this then be solved? Letting the .dockerinit process handle this?

And to be honest - the problem is exaggerated and not worth fixing on Docker level. Programs launching child processes have to handle SIGCHLD properly anyway - PID 1 or not. This is only a problem with badly written software.
Tell them we learned how to cheaply travel faster than light using this one weird trick? That other interstellar civilizations hate us?
