These days, forest roads and primitive roads are often marked on Google / Apple maps and OpenStreetMaps. So asking your phone for directions to a national forest usually works well, as long as you check the camping rules and conditions ahead of time. You'll usually just see a series of pull-outs with fire pits and cleared areas along the unpaved roads.

Lands managed by the BLM or USFS usually allow dispersed camping in at least some areas, but it's still a good idea to double-check before you leave, and you should be aware that the same lands are often used for other activities like hunting, logging, horse-riding, grazing, offroad vehicles, etc.

You can also get more specialized outdoors mapping apps which can download data like USGS topographical maps and quad sheets for offline use. If you think you might like the backcountry, a satellite messenger is a good investment and those often have companion phone apps.

Don't forget to bring a big battery if you rely on electronics for mapping, though. And you can usually get decent paper maps from local NPS/USFS/etc visitor centers once you get to the area. The people in those visitor centers will also tell you where good sites / hikes / drives / views are, but then you have to actually talk to someone.

Also, read about pack-in/pack-out policies, what a cathole is, and how to keep your food from attracting animals.

>"The second dimension is becoming savvier healthcare consumers."

Once you conflate patients with consumers, you have fundamentally moved away from a public health model towards a model where costs are based on what the market will bear rather than the costs associated with providing the service.
But a find on root takes a lot of time in some cases, during which the attacker could be compromised. And the scripts might not use it for that reason. The script could use it as a backup only if the standard one doesn't exist, but still, it is a bump in the road, and might be worth it to cause the script to use find and delay it.
Much better!

I'd still suggest a lower limit on image sizes. I'm seeing icon-sized pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge show up, etc.
Hey. He's Al Franken...and you're not.
Looking at the 8-hour day from the inside, employee, perspective is one thing. But it's not the only one.

There is another reason for the 8 hour workday, maintaining real-time business-to-business interactions with a single shift workforce.

An expectation has been built up that businesses will be open from 9-5. This allows businesses to handle person to person interactions on an expected schedule. As a rule, if you need to contact someone for business you call them during this time.

Some companies can do with the delayed response form of email but phone and face-to-face conversations still hold weight in non software centric companies.

Some companies might establish their own culture, between a limited number of parties they interact with. However, if businesses at large started shifting their hours all over the place it would make things very confusing for a new player to establish business with them.

This is a question I would love more clarity on. Especially pre-employee - what do bootstrapped founders typically do for their own healthcare? Do most roll the dice and go without? If so, do you stop going to regular dentist check-ups, etc.?

I find it exceedingly dificult to justify that conclusion based on Twitter's analysis:

President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.

The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.

The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.

Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.

Lies are a strong political tool, for both ultimate good or ill.
reminds me of 911 when they took an act they had always wanted to do (patriot act) and used the circumstances to crack down on individual freedoms.

"It could be" that they have $2.5 billion dollars hidden somewhere but they don't want to show it to anyone or have it audited.

"It could be" that if you send me $1 million, I'll make you live forever. You should try it and see.
It only takes a few people to inspire many. I really hope it won’t come to that, and I don’t think Trump is brave enough.

As for going up against the military, there are quite a lot of vets in that demographic.
I just mentioned this but you can't even get people to use firefox. It's an uphill battle.

And yup, I noticed I'm not even on firefox right now.
Wonderful! We have a large lush growth of Stinging Nettle behind our barn every summer. I'm looking forward to brewing some up next year.
This is much more than screenshots and jQuery does not eliminate the need for interactive cross-browser testing in any way.
Yes, it's great. There are some limitations in the types of queries you can run, but other than that it's a pretty seamless transition. You also still have full access to the GAE framework's api if you need to do something specialized that web2py doesn't cover, though I haven't needed to do this very often (it also breaks portability of course). Overall an excellent combination.
I used this library a while back, and it was nice at first, until I noticed that his quicksort always picked the first element as the pivot, which makes it O(n^2) on already-sorted input. Then I started second guessing everything, and when you do that with a library you may as well write it yourself without the CPP hackery. At least then the compiler errors will make sense and you can debug it.

I went to go check out the code to see if this issue had been fixed, but the download link has gone bad.

I mentioned this library on HN some years back, when I was still excited about it, and the reply I got was something like "No! Not that macro boneyard!" He was right.

This was Etacts. We responded to Antonio's support email this morning within a few minutes of its arrival to let him know the IP address in question belongs to us. We are talking about ways now to prevent this type of confusion from happening in the future.

Oh definitely. I've done more work than that in the last year. I just hadn't done it at that time.
Some of the advice is just plain wrong depending on your target platform. For example, on my iPad, iPhone 3G (not 3GS), and Safari 5.0 (6533.16)/Mac, using createElement/appendChild is consistently faster than using innerHTML. In Chrome 5.0.375.70/Mac, they are the same speed. In Firefox 3.6.3/Mac, naive createElement is slower, but using a DocumentFragment makes it as fast as innerHTML.

If I may quickly address Zed's concerns about putting his code on GitHub:

1. GitHub is a node on a distributed graph, you're still in full control of your source and its history thanks to Git. Push your code to a dozen different places, Git doesn't care and neither do we.

2. We have soft disk space limits. If your OS project is massive, we're not going to suddenly start charging you if you exceed that space. We want lots and lots of open source projects on GitHub, we just don't want it to become the place you host your music and porn, there are plenty of other services that are happy to do that.

3. GitHub's growth (thus revenue) skyrocketed during the recession, and it's only getting better. We've rejected acquisition offers since the site was launched, we care deeply about the service we've built.
Some reasons:

a) Ship to other countries

b) Unlocked phones so they can use it with other Carriers.

c) People who are not upgrade eligible from ATT and want a iPhone now (My wife)

d) People who dont want to add a 3g plan since they are in wifi areas most of the time etc.
If anyone's interested in an explanation on how digital currency can work securely, I remembered an old mailing list message that's pretty straightforward with the math: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.provo.p...

Jon Ingold (inkle's narrative director) has a great talk on game dialogue [1] -- he implements a scene from Blade Runner in Ink. Super insightful and entertaining.

I've been using Ink a lot lately and really appreciate the work the community has put into it! Our team released a suite of interactive songs [2] last year -- we used Ink (and its handy Unity integration) to implement the core mechanic of two-player lyric choices in real-time, and even used it to handle some truth table logic for the credits :)

I think that's exactly the problem with ML. You can get interesting looking results fast with very little effort. But then, getting from an impressive demo to something actually useful in the real world is much harder, and will lead you down endless rabbit-holes as you try to improve your results, but things only get worse, not better...
She isn't telling you to buy it brand new from retail. That's the absolute worst way to buy products. Buy it again means turn cash into utility, and if you buy used and sell once you are done with that utility, you can end up at zero net loss.

I moved into an apartment where I had to cut my own grass. I bought a mower for $50 and cut grass all summer. The next spring, I moved to a different apartment without a lawn and sold that mower for $50. If I ever need to cut grass again, I'll be back in the $50 mower market.

Net cost is zero to me and I have only just enough utility as I ever need, which is exactly what kondo envisions. No rabid corporate machine has been fed with my transient lawn care needs, just more circulation around the hyperlocal economy that is removed from globalism.
Perhaps Microsoft's provision of V.B.A could be consider as relevant?
Companies need to stop treating knowledge of this information as proof that you are who you say you are. I would have no problem publicly posting my name, social security number, birthday, mother's maiden name, etc., if not for the fact that someone can actually use this information to open a bank account or take out a loan in my name. It's ridiculous that this is all it takes in most cases.
I agree that it might not be a large portion of all CS students, but it does appear that many of the incoming CS PhDs have chosen to go into ML (of my class, maybe 1/3), which serious distracts from interest in other subfields. It's actually a joke in my department that all of the new students are pursuing ML, while almost no one is pursuing theoretical CS or other less popular subfields.

I'm also not sure about why the exact number matters - 200 kids matters a lot when future professors are drawn from the pool of students who have successfully completed a PhD.

It is strictly impossible to "block mining data" on the public web. Double that if the miner has free access to a pool of residential IPs.

Just like how, when you pay with cash today, people commonly discount things by 1-3%.

They actually can't, since it's forbidden by the payment networks. In fact, there was a classe action lawsuit initiated by thousands of merchants in part due to those restrictions: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Interchange_Fee_...
I think this is a different issue...

I couldn't claim authorship of a machine generated work. I would feel better about claiming authorship of something I've spent a while working on and finding combinations until I get something I like.

Do you claim authorship of Photoshop's cloud filter?
In summary the underline is: beat various market (stock, crypto, virtual cards) and grow 11% a year, so simple yet so difficult.
I call bs on the fact that you don’t think manually paying 20 bills every month is time consuming. Set a timer next time then multiply to see how much of your life you are going to waste doing that.
Sure, but it does not really matter.

Uber has not switched from Postgres used as RDBMS to MySQL used as RDBMS, they switched from Postgres used as RDBMS to MySQL used as key-value storage layer of homegrown sharded non-relational database.

This has pretty much no bearing on anyone using Postgres or MySQL in reasonable way.
When I meet the user that prefers shiny over functional after working for a few hours with each, I'll change my mind. I haven't met that user yet.

What I've seen though is that users almost never have any say in the matter. Software is generally forced upon users - mandated by their employers, being the only way to access a particular service or a social network, etc. Users have little say in how the software works.
OK, sorry about that.
Is there a way to make DDG Lite chrome's default search engine?

Chrome seems to let me create non-default search engines, set the full DDG as the default, but not set lite as the default.
I think it's rather an oversimplification to say that five years of reconstruction of a totally shattered Japan caused the Korean War. Or to take any lessons from the immediate postwar period and use them to explain the state of Japan 75 years later.
When I had a burger flipping job, the automatic yearly raise was like a dime an hour. So unless you were a new hire, hardly anyone at burger flipping jobs right now are making minimum wage.
At Microsoft its pretty good, I can't speak well for others. Work-life flexibility is something we take pretty seriously in the groups I've worked in, and the workload is pretty manageable. It's a little >40h/week on average, but not dramatically so, and most people take their full vacation and holiday packages (3-5 weeks vacation, 12 holidays). There are bad weeks or a bad month, but its not the norm. I'd say almost everyone spends more time then that doing other technical things, but that's because we get joy out of it. Last time I tried to measure it, I'm typically doing about 5-10h/week on top of work reading technical books, researching something, or playing with some new technology on my own time.

There are also a number of true workaholics spending 60 hours + a week strictly working, but that's typically because they want to and not because the organization is running in permanent crunch mode.
Or that's what some people use it for, and what others tell themselves must be the case as an excuse.

There are poor (but content) people who are very minimalist. They don't need to hoard not because they "can afford to buy or rent exactly what you want precisely when you want it", but because they don't want much, period.
You didn't say PLEASE.
per Musk fuel/oxidizer costs make up the bulk of launch expense. If you could save launch providers 2% on LOX with equal service they'd buy it in a heart beat. It's like going to the next gas station to save $0.10/gallon gas. Granted your competition may just say, "ok now we'll sell at a 5% discount". Of course the devil is in the details, it may take hundreds of thousands of dollars in permits to transport it. Maybe you could invent a popup LOX processor like those popup concrete factories near big construction projects. That would be pretty cool.

I would think the solution is blindingly obvious.
Java is the new Fortran/Cobol.

It is so embedded in core enterprise systems that even if the language was frozen in place it would still be used for the next decade or longer. Even more so given that Java/Scala is the lingua de franca of analytics/big data which is all the rage right now in your Fortune 500s courtesy of Hadoop.

A big part of it is also the huge amount of talent from countries like India and China who have been taught programming via Java 6/7.
Does this mean people may be able to purchase equity through something like kickstarter?
I'm not sure, but I never saw it as a trap payload.

Rather, it's something that could go wrong when overclocking, since the Xtals were often locked to the video sync rate (my Falcon's "Nemesis" was a real bugger for it); maybe it'd try to change into a mode that actually didn't have the clock it was expecting!

I don't know about "blowing up", but yes, if you put a bad signal into them, some of them might break. I had (probably still have, actually, somewhere, albeit modified for SCART with an LM1881 and my crappy soldering!) an Atari SC1224 RGB monitor in which you fed the horizontal and vertical sync frequencies separately (rather than composite - hence the LM1881 being needed to split the sync). And at one point I had a Falcon, with Nemesis, and Videlity. The monitor did NOT like it if you fed it a horizontal sync outside the 15.6-15.8KHz range (like, say, VGA's 31468.5Hz; oops!).

The result was the big transformer in the back (line output transformer?) heating up and whining and the caps building up voltage, the screen's black level warming to an alarming dull green… I don't think I'd have wanted to keep the power on another few seconds! Although it'd probably only have burnt something out, I didn't want to break anything.

Point is, some CRTs are a bit more… direct than others. I hear the vector monitors (as used in Tempest) are particularly hairy beasts.
This was particularly memorable for me as during that time, my dad, a wheat farmer, during the winter would construct shelters for folks in town. None were quite so elaborate as the more extreme ones shown in the article.

A little later, the county was dotted with the Minuteman missle sites and control centers. One silo was on a friends farm. He said it was sobering to think that the several-foot thick concrete lid would blow the better part of a hundred yards away just before launch.
If you do gen_X:call and the timeout expires before you receive a response, you may still get a response later (late reply). The timeout case can happen without a connection loss or even without distribution. I believe gen_X:call sets a monitor (maybe a link?) though, so if the server process is distributed, and the connection is lost, the call will fail; however, the server does not set a monitor on the client (to my knowledge), so when it finishes processing the message, it will reply to the client; distribution may have already reconnected, or sending the reply may cause a reconnection. I don't have great knowledge on the monitor, where I worked, we used a modified call that didn't set monitors, because it was too much overhead; we relied on timeouts instead.

If the call was part of a library function, you can return {error, timeout} or whatever, but the process you ran in will have that reply message in its mailbox, possibly forever if it only does selective receives. This will show up in your system as growing memory use, and slowing message processing (unless all of your messaging is selective receives with new references that benefits from the mailbox marking optimization).

In the proxy process alternative, you would spawn a new process to do the gen_X:call, and message back to the real client process. Any late replies get discarded as the spawned process will be dead. But spawning a process isn't free, even if an Erlang process is much lower cost than an OS thread or process. Without looking at details of the implementation, using a process alias seems like a reasonable optimization.
that looks interesting. it certainly has many of the stuff that I'm looking for. Do you know how "soon" are they gonna be translating it into other languages?

Part of the concern is Apple spends a ton of money marketing themselves as "pro-privacy and pro-consumer, more than those "other" $BigCo's". I've seen people say they're immune to advertising and then beat the Apple drum many times.
Never ever leave them on the bed alone even if they are sleeping and you have cushions around them. They will still find a way to roll and fall off the bed (happened to us). 9 times out of 10 it will be fine but I've read horror stories online so be careful.
