Versus redeveloping it for $80-100 million, that still sounds fairly cost-effective.
My understanding is that they simulate them via supercomputing. I imagine this fact has caused a few Pentagon generals to go bald prematurely.
"Others have argued it oversimplifies a complex issue - many communities depend on fishing for their livelihoods and for food, and are in fact practising sustainable catching methods."

I guess this pretty much answers the question whether seaspiracy film is correct or not. People are trying to justify as if industry care about sustainable catching methods? Really? And there is common practise "The Solution to Pollution is Dilution" and there is no easy way to find how much industry is damaging ocean I bet its more than what Netflix Seaspiracy shows.

Imho Industry is more about earning $ rather than sustainable thing and most of the time the sustainable things are marketing PR strategy.

Remember Sugar Industry? Tobacco Industry? Looks like similar strategy this time too.
I'm very curious about the form of this harassment. It's hard to imagine. Maybe if you had extremely immature colleagues, but even then, "harassed"?

Presumably any adult would be aware that the name is "funny" and would be careful when replying and say something like "working on formal proofs", "programming" or "maths" instead.
My first job was as a COBOL developer 10 years ago. My annual salary was around $4000
My Passport's design always drew comment (I loved it)
Yes and you could leverage all that by simply developing for that platform. Rather than trying to build a brand from scratch, which is extremely hard.

And don’t underestimate how hard it was for Airtable to get traction: you make it sound as if it was easy. Underneath the surface, the founders would tell you how hard it was.
OpenBSD /dev/(u)random uses ChaCha20 and gives me a few hundred MB/s on recent hw.
The only thing that's never worked for me is hibernation, and that doesn't even work for my windows pc either
But then you're adding in several more processing layers away from reality: 1) the digital scan won't pick up the details sufficiently 2) the AR rendering will again strip a lot of detail

It'd also be incredibly difficult and straining for your eyes of focussing on a canvas and then on an AR image
Considering TikTok is owned by a Chinese company and China has it's own version of TikTok, are these new updated rules reflect in the Chinese TikTok?
Makes sense, Peloton is a ridiculous product.
I understand that. That doesn't mean you don't have to worry about security.

Most stacks would crumble under a relatively small L7 ddos that Cloudflare would not likely mitigate.
This still feels too cumbersome even for a technical person.

An “easy” solution would be something that gets your local content online in one click or less.
Appreciated, even if it's not a good match for our other tech for most of these projects. That aside, do I then get Storybook and an easy way to integrate with tailwinduikit?
No, no, no. That's a criteria for password hashes, which are a totally different construction than standard cryptographic hashes. You can't brute force a cryptographic hash, practically by definition.
one thing you should probably do (this post aside) is not mention tony robbins when you're writing about the idea. the last thing you need, in the long term, is to provide a means for the tony robbins law machine to come after you for lifting his work. not that they would, but best to limit the connection in case there is overlap between his techniques and yours (of course a lot of his techniques are borrowed, but still). and i'm not saying that he can legally 'own' certain techniques for being hyper-goal-oriented, but anything is possible in today's litigation courts. and i wouldn't want to see tony robbins on the witness stand cleverly persuading a jury that i am guilty. :-)
Sure, any optimizing template engine would use Ruby's string interpolation, but it would still end up with this:

_buffer << "<html>
#{ form_for @stuff do |f| }
#{ f.text_field :things }
#{ end }
</html>"

How are ERB going to figure out there's an opening of a block unless it actually parses the expression? ERB only sees this:

* "<html>"
* Output: form_for @stuff do |f|
* Output: f.text_field :things
* Block: end
* "</html>"

Just a plain list, not a tree.
I once had a strange experience where, after taking a drink of water from a Camelbak bottle, a police officer asked me if he could see my water bottle. He was about 15 away, at the corner, waiting to turn left at a stoplight. I handed him the bottle, he opened it, smelled it, and made some comment about how it's illegal to have an open container of alcohol in public. It was summer, evening, and still light outside.

I remember being so caught of guard that I never even realized I was consenting to a government search until it was over. The officer was so conversational in his tone that I had no idea why in the world he would want to see my water bottle. Afterwards I regretted not refusing the search as it would have been an easy opportunity to stand up for my own constitutional rights. In the future, I can only imagine I will be on guard, treat any police officer with suspicion and only cooperative as much as is necessary.
My favorite sentence: "I manage to form relatively brilliant sentences compared to my peers."

I bet your peers absolutely love working with you.
>you get grants to fund construction of libraries when everyone in the country can already go to an Internet cafe and read Wikipedia //

Everyone?

Perhaps you misunderstand what a modern library is - it's a place for accessing information, not limited to books. Most likely it's effectively a free internet cafe or an information centre for a particular school.

Mind you I've seen government funded medical centres without even beds (well mattresses, they had the frames) - so the chances of the information resources turning up and staying put are perhaps slim.
I can't help but feel like at this point in time buying Bitcoin and helping sustain the price is making criminals rich.

Malleable transactions don't make it harder to transfer coins, they make it easier.
>with respect to the drinking of water, that's unlikely...

With my reading, taking water - in gulps to wash down the pill - at particular times/regularity could be a/the significant factor getting measured in this study. Perhaps there is a threshold effect in taking the water (e.g: it helps people on the threshold of dehydration), or perhaps it's the time of day taken. I may be wrong, but I don't think it should just be summarily dismissed yet.
I had forgotten that it was s silent movie, but then it has been almost thirty years since I saw it.

Great book. Like most people that start it, I didn't finish. It is a notoriously underfinished book. Give it a try anyways.
Back in '02, when people were still at high-paranoia following the initial terrorist attacks, my wife and I were flying to Bali via Japan and the Hong Kong. The plane landed in Japan only for refueling, but they pulled everyone off the place, ran us through metal detectors, and back onto the plane, making our departure an hour late.

I can't imagine what they were trying to do. Were they afraid we had fabricated weapons of our own in the 14+/- hours we'd been on the plane? What if we'd just left those weapons at our seats?
Frankly it made me feel like I'm not smart enough much of the time. But trying not to let that bother me, I plowed ahead anyway. I found quite a few things actually quite mind expanding. His exposition about infinite recursion was worth the price of admission alone. A small segment of that is here: http://amberbaldet.com/uploads/little-harmonic-labrynth.html

Another book which I did find truly transformative include "The Art of Game Design" by Jessie Schell. Also Anathem, by Neal Stephenson, is also a very worthwhile mind-broadening scientific read. A New Kind of Science by Wolfram is also quite a bit of fun.

But by far my most prized techie book is Genetic Programming, by the legendary John Koza (if you're not a Lisp person like I wasn't when I read this, then you really need to read it!). Braid and all of the books I mentioned have something in common: They are all fat, heavy, meaty, thought-provoking tomes.
I'm in the process of finishing two side-projects and just started thinking about deployment. I wasn't sure what to use for deployment, as I just wanted to run two web-apps on a VPS. This is definitely what I'm going to use.

Of course it isn't for everyone and every project, but it's good (and simple) enough for me.
Every project has different requirements for deployment and I sure appreciate the option to chose from a variety of tools.
"if you're born on US soil, you're a US citizen"

Actually there IS debate about what that section actually means. Some take to mean in context that your parents had to have been under the laws (a citizen) already and subsequently you cannot just hop the border, have a baby, and the baby is a citizen. I happen to believe that as well.
You need to control the messaging. Opponents should have called these "cancer scanners" from Day 1.
My college roommate's parents did this (he's from the Philippines) 24 years ago. Once he was born they went back to the Philippines and his first experience in America was at age 18 when he came to the U.S. by himself for school.

It worked out pretty well for him. He has since graduated with a top notch degree and sponsored his family to come to the U.S. Kudos to them for having the foresight to do this in the mid 80's.
Simmer down gentleman. This really isn't the place for "flame-on".

Minimal fines??? Why would you need to pay any fines?
Saying you are prepared to drink it is a gimmick. The same basic idea has been used a million times before for everything from asbestos to tobacco to coal dust to lead paint. Common enough for it to be parodied in a 25 year old episode of the Simpsons ("Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish").

Also Patrick Moore is a professional science denier. He doesn't deserve respect from anybody.
People interested in 'lightweight' Java EE should check out Adam Bien's web site: http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/ . He energetically promotes modern lightweight EE (especially for startups). He overshoots the target sometimes (being too simple) but it's always interesting and entertaining.
> here really should be a "Do this, not that" guide ...

There should be, but this would only be doctoring the symptoms. The real solution is to abolish the ridiculous, sexist/misandric alimony laws. In the past there was some good point to them, but they have all been made obsolete by technological development (contraception, pregnancy loosing its medical dangers, societal changes). The only acceptable (default) rule is no alimony, and 50/50 shared custody of children.

In order for such a long-overdue legal change to happen, men must use their vote. The majority of women will be against such a change since the current legal arrangement benefits them so disproportionally, so men will face stiff opposition.
I get what you're saying. However, the article having a high degree of brevity isn't really cause to shoot the messenger in this case.

What was reported was factually correct. Bloomberg isn't obligated to provide in-depth context and analysis of the issue.

If people want to take interest in the underlying science, they can. If people want to be stupid and jump to conclusions to support whatever biased position they hold, they can do that too.

Either way, it's not the article's problem.
BBC seems to be able to cover it almost daily. American "news" virtually never unless there is a talking point some politician is pushing.

American "news" seems to find a reason to talk every hour about the plane mass-murder, many times just saying "we have nothing new to tell you" even the reporters they turn to simply repeat in different words what the anchor JUST SAID.

So why not cover all the countries currently at war in the middle east every hour. They most definitely have news every hour on that one because more people have died. No more people are going to die in that single plane crash despite hundreds of hours of coverage.
Just bought the book.

This is a front-end tech lead for Yahoo writing a book about a new language revision, and this is when I buy in and really start paying attention.

I've been reading some interesting ES6 materials, but the absolutely most worthwhile reference is that written by a hardcore practitioner that's a key contributor to massively used products.
I know that English is the wrong way of expressing the ideas, but the text on page 6 about bleaching and colours and the tasteful application of rules producing a scheme is straight out of 16th Century alchemy.
I use LastPass too and I am happy with it but I really wish they would do something about that UI. Not a very good experience, IMO.
What I'm saying is that those article should specify threat level. Cancers are not equal to each other, cancer risks even more so.

Article claiming "asbestos has a stupidly high risk of giving you a lung cancer when inhaled, get rid of it" is ok. Article saying "coffee increases chance of prostate cancer in mice by 0.03% (p<0.05)" is also fine. Note that the first is a serious public health hazard, while the second is something irrelevant - you're about as likely to get killed by a car driven by a shark than by a prostate cancer from coffee. But when you lump the two together, saying just that "asbestos/coffee causes cancer", you breed paranoia.

"The Abnormal is Not Courage"

The Poles rode out from Warsaw against the German tanks on horses.
Rode knowing, in sunlight, with sabers,
A magnitude of beauty that allows me no peace.
And yet this poem would lessen that day.

Question the bravery. Say it's not courage. Call it a passion.
Would say courage isn't that. Not at its best.
It was impossible, and with form. They rode in sunlight,
Were mangled.

But I say courage is not the abnormal.
Not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches.
The worthless can manage in public, or for the moment.
It is too near the whore's heart: the bounty of impulse,
And the failure to sustain even small kindness.
Not the marvelous act, but the evident conclusion of being.
Not strangeness, but a leap forward of the same quality.

Accomplishment. The even loyalty. But fresh.
Not the Prodigal Son, nor Faustus. But Penelope.
The thing steady and clear. Then the crescendo.

The real form. The culmination. And the exceeding.
Not the surprise. The amazed understanding. The marriage,
Not the month's rapture. Not the exception. The beauty
That is of many days. Steady and clear.

It is the normal excellence, of long accomplishment.

Proven false by Swedish schools, just this week a pretty thorough investigation showed that same result schools in certain cities had almost twice the funding per student compared to others, for no gain.
> the best app if you want to use a custom SMTP/IMAP server instead of using a solution like hotmail/google/etc

IMHO, it's also the best if you're using Gmail: Google has been breaking its UIs for years (both on the app and on the web), especially for people like me who try to use proper quoting and signatures, or to send plain text emails. Apart from some glitches with reflow, K-9 does that very well even with Google as email provider.

I can't compare against Microsoft products since I've never used them on mobile, but seeing how horrible Outlook is on the desktop for plain text emails (and that's not an hyperbole), I bet K-9 is better as well.
I struggle to understand why there hasn't been a release for 1.5 years, especially with a ~full time dev.

I definitely struggle to udnerstand why IMAP IDLE is critical for a release.

Edit: Oh, probably a minSDK force - i.e. the cost of standing still in mobile development.
I've found myself enjoying these less since Lex rebranded the podcast. I can't quite put my finger on why and I haven't watched the previous few.

Is it worth jumping back in for another try?
Very impressive. Neat that they're even intending to get a PS2 build working.

Wonder if they plan to do further work on graphical improvements.
This was a nice read and is recognizable, probably a large part of Dilbert comics could fit in here...

There are projects that last for multiple years with larger TEAMS with the only job to entangle existing complex landscapes. Most of them fail.

Since these teams do consist of pretty smart people... I think one of the funny things you could do is list the things these people say when they start this adventure on day 1 "ah yes lets just grep stuff" or "i will start examining tests" and "i will make a spreadsheet of all interfaces" and "i will do interviews with older developers". About 6 months later the spreadsheet has become a separate application that is so complex that it is a complexity project on its own. The amount of documentation found is now about a couple of million separate documents and realization drops in that the lifetime of the universe is probably nearer as end date. The datamodels found for the gazillion databases now covers a library in itself. the end date of the universe is closer by than the end date of the project trying to understand what the environment is. And no it does not help that any developer or business person ever involved long left the company.

Comments: yes i agree. 80% is logical does not need a comment. 20% are the pieces of code coming out of meetings that lasted hours and which ended with strange outcomes that no-one will ever understand without understanding why things were setup in the way they were setup. And then there is the 20% added by junior developers who had no clue but just changed stuff here and there. It is hard to make that distinction because from the outside they look alike. Anyone trying to change the code to make it "logical" will remove the 20% illogical code and produce something maybe even working but no longer in line with desired results, also a junior mistake.
Statecharts are the solution to technical debt, not the source, as you're formalizing the possible states the user can be in, and "locking" it to that. You can even apply analysis to your codebase to figure out if you're actually covering all possible states and transitions.

If you take a look at the syllabus of the course, it's not about JavaScript, it's about the formalism and understanding the core concepts, without locking you to a particular technology. Whatever they are teaching in the course, you can apply to JavaScript/Swift as much as you can apply it to Desktop/Mobile.

Disclaimer: haven't actually taken the course, but planning to and I've read the description of it.
If you’re going to charge $100 for a shirt, I’m sure not going to have drawers and drawers full of your shirts. The first reactions will be sharply reduced consumption, increased repair and secondhand purchasing, long before people are going topless.
Then why send these people to high-schools either? Bring them in at the college level, and get more people into college.

If you had your shit together in highschool, then great, that's why you went to Harvard/stanford etc.

But most people don't. So save the extra beneficial instruction for when they are mature enough to benefit from it.

And if you want that extra help sooner, then you sound capable enough to find it on your own.
How can you securely copy over the configuration? This sound as a chicken and egg problem.
You're right sorry, changed it
At the risk of stating the obvious, it's worth noting that $27,000 was a lot of money in 1849. To give a rough estimate, we're talking about the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $750,000 (give or take).

Who buries $750,000 in tin cans? Who has $750,000 in unbanked, walking-around money in the first place? The mid-19th century Walter White? Maybe someone cleaning out his bank account in anticipation of a financial apocalypse? This is the interesting part of this story, IMO. In any event, this might be one stash among several. If someone had that kind of coin lying around, my guess is that he didn't bury it all in one place.
Probably the same as Google Docs.
Great site. Do you know of anything similar for the UK? It looks like a lot of fun to play with.
I'd go so far as to argue that platform lock-in is only in a vendor's best interest in a narrow and relatively short-term way. In the long run, platform lock-in actually undermines the incentive to innovate and compete on merit. Eventually they became ripe targets for disruption and the cycle begins again. I think a rational actor with a 10-year investment horizon would want open competition to keep themselves honest.

Either way I applaud your decision.
> 5. Test Early, Test Often, Then Test Again

I'm not convinced that the kind of Usability Testing(TM) presented is actually the best way. There is still a physical barrier (a wall) and a communication barrier (the usability tester) between the developers and the users. Why is that a good idea?

Despite saying it's "not rocket science", the requirements listed are still a lot heavier than it need be. We aren't doing impartial science here. We are trying to understand users. Why not just _talk_ to them and interact together?
> I never said the words "all in,"

Your response to every cost-based objection was "more" and "build it".

> you complained above that I'm not going all in. I'm confused

You've said that spending on solar is necessarily good and the more the better. If you're serious, that's how you've spent your money and every dime that you can borrow.

That's why I asked what you've done with your money. Surely you're not going to say that other people should spend money on something that you're unwilling to go "all in" on. Right?

> In fact I'm opposed to ... if we do it we must do it 100%." I thought that was clear, but I guess not.

Let's review what you wrote.

> That's a lot of solar generators. So the sooner we start, the sooner we'll get there.

> The interesting thing is, just as better computers help us design and build still better computers, increasingly available energy will drive the cost of existing energy down, reducing the cost of energy used to build and maintain new capacity.

Which doesn't imply that spending on solar is a good idea. Spending too much on an energy source leads to less energy, not more. However, the fact that your statement is false doesn't mean that you didn't make it.

and you complained above that I'm not going all in
Gah! Sorry about that; fixing now.
Basically it's legal speak for anything hidden. you have to remember the literal definition of "occult"

News is news isn't it? So long as it's factually accurate. Aljazeera may be a better source of news than others.
Its interesting to note they did not mention antibiotics as something that was being tested. I know for a fact that a major bay area hospital is treating covid-19 patients with a course of antibiotics(unsure which type), which is strange as its a virus. The nurse I know said they are seeing good results, the antibiotics are administered right away(they didn't say if anything else is administered) and 5 of 6 patients are being sent home with none coming back with worse symptoms. The sample size is small, maybe 30-40 and I wonder if these patients are already healthy enough that the virus is not affecting them greatly. It looks like other countries are looking into it as well:
