>but is also clearly referring to some real things.

And as I previously pointed out, it clearly refers more to Trump Trump than to California water issues.

You can be deliberately ignorant and downvote all you want if thats the best use of your time.
That’s also true. And also a stimulant that has relaxing effects.
In city planning, some utility is better than no utility at all, which is how most cities were designed.
If I actually have the dollar multiple times, we're in nobel prize territory.

If there's one physical dollar that I own multiple times, that basically just means I keep depositing it at the bank and keep being paid with the same dollar. My net worth is still a million, so I'm happy with that.

learned about an upstart with a very similar technology?

But the patent wasn't on technology at all. If it was, it would have covered, for example, a method of image analysis. A competitor could then use their own, different method of image analysis.
How many years until V'Ger returns home?
This will probably come off as snarky, but besides the Nexus series, what other phones are there running 2.3 at this point?
Thanks for the info. uwsgi was my second choice, gunicorn didn't seem to have as good performance, but if it is a lot easier I'll give it a try. To be honest, performance isn't a huge concern for my app, but I'm trying to fit it into a ec2 micro and therefore want to squeeze the most from it.
That’s not spec work. Investments ≠ spec work. You are not building an iOS app for one person/entity and getting paid if and only if they preferred your app to others built to the same spec. You are building and iterating and marketing something to be sold to any number of individuals. There is a world of difference there.
I don't know what the hit rate was, because as you suggest I likely ignored the irrelevant ads. However, the ads that were relevant were so eerily accurate (including things many of my friends and acquaintances wouldn't know about me) that I didn't want anything more to do with the platform.
Yeah that's a great thought - a combination of curiosity and persistence. For me, the curiosity is the easy part. The thought of "Oh I should go learn more about that, might be something interesting there" comes along often enough. It's the follow-through, or the grit as you put it, that is tough for me.
> the animators are seeing none of that money yet they are a core part of why the show is successful.

and the animators of shows that flop still got paid something.

if you want upside risk, you have to be exposed to downside risk.
Yes we got better at artificially maintaining people alive that's for sure, I hardly count that as a meaningful metric. It's a bit like GDP, if all you look at are the two things on a positive trend you might miss the forest for the trees. We can also talk about depression, suicide (both attempted and successful), &c.

When 40%+ of your country's population is medically obese you have to start asking questions, this is nothing else than self sabotage and slow suicide. How do people come to the point of not caring about themselves to that extent, that alone should be a gigantic red flag, at least as big as climate change and dying biodiversity

I personally have no interest in living a long life in a dying world. Life expectancy discussions always make me think of: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Let...
Something has been bugging me about x86’s lack of boundaries...could the boundaries be computed ahead-of-time and passed to the processor?
That's still guilt by association.
Well for example, I'm a lead devops on a team of 2-3. We have 6 core services.

For the last several years, due to static load we've been fine with 2 instances per service. Now that we want autoscale (even though all the real load is really just the DB), it seems we could get ourselves onto AWS autoscale in ~1 month, though it would require some coding.

Spending 3 devops on 1 year doing something is a red-flag to me. If your changes save devs 1 hour per deploy, it'll pay off 6,000 deploys from now.
Why is every anti-communist/socialist argument in the form of "It didn't work once, clearly we have no reason to learn from it or try again."

If by "the US" here you mean "the US government", then yes. Otherwise, no, most people in the United States in fact do see a problem with our enormous prison population. If the prison population per capita is so much higher than it is in other countries (and it is), most Americans can recognize that this is indicative of a problem with the justice system much more than a problem with the American people.
according to these stats the US did the same in the last 5 years

> not necessary

No education is necessary, but that doesn’t make it devoid of value. Speaking as a US citizen, I truly believe what my country and countless others around the globe desperately need is better and accessible education, absolutely including the Arts.

The opposing viewport can likely be called anti-intellectual in fairness.
Very excited about this - as a musician/programmer, I've been looking for a way to easily embed notation in q sit for a while. ABC is a great choice - very simple to lean. You've given me a new weekend project-posting the notation for my music! Thanks!
The issue with Clojure is that it really gained too much popularity before it was ready. Ready has a lot of implications. IDE support, debuggers, libraries, documentation, books, etc. While it is a good language and has a number of things going for it. It seems that the books and community added too much hype too soon. This caused new users to come, then go.
Because overriding the default behavior is trivial (middle-click in most browsers), but restoring it when it's been overridden by JS is not.

If you think that external links should, in general, be opened in new tabs, I'd say that's what extensions are for.
No offense but are you just being obtuse? Clearly I meant something other than what you are suggesting.
They changed their minds:

Wow, okay lots of replies and I'll address them here.

First, a lot of people are talking about using two drives. On Windows this model does not work. Moving programs from C: to D: will often screw up registry settings and other crap like that. On OSX and Linux, thanks to a single root filesystem and symlinks, this model might work better. Furthermore, I have to manage moving files back and forth. This is a problem algorithms should take care of and no OS does this yet.

Secondly, a lot of people are saying the Momentus benchmarks are terrible. This seems obvious. Any standard benchmark does not take advantage of a large read cache. You have to use some sector of data over and over again in order for the drive's algorithms to put it into the SSD cache. Read real world benchmarks here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3734/seagates-momentus-xt-revi...
We are all Emacs users, and we share tmux sessions on Vagrant VMs over SSH. (It's like GNU Screen, but a lot more convenient for sharing.) We usually stick with the same pair for about a week and rotate among our 10-man team, though each person has areas they're more proficient in. We use Skype for VoIP (though Mumble works better in some cases) and IRC for chat.

I haven't done much in-person pairing, but I think the main difference is not having to share a keyboard. Each person can use a system they're comfortable with; no fuss about dvorak vs qwerty, Kinesis vs Natural 4000, standing desk vs sitting, or Ubuntu vs Macosecks. It does mean you need to use auditory cues to indicate who is in control of a given session. The biggest drawback is probably that you can't share a web browser over SSH, but since we are doing backend coding it doesn't affect us.

For me it's been a huge win. We do also have week-long meetings a few times a year to bring the whole team together in-person to promote the team's cohesion. But working from home is great; as long as I'm able to switch things up occasionally by working from a coffee shop a couple times a week, I'm happy.
"to help your partner fuck other people behind your back and leave no trace?"

You really are hung up on this "nothing to hide" deal aren't you?
My guess is that the sellers think that, by waiting in market X, they drum up "anticipation", driving sales when it finally is released. One way to do this is by costly advertising, another way is to release it to a few people and let them advertise for you - similar to releasing previews of movies, etc to reviewers. They're using the US as an ad agency to boost demand elsewhere.

Personally, I think this is complete insanity, and yes, drives piracy. But that's the best I can come up with, and it jives with the media industry's other crazy-ass antics.
Well you need some kind of service that updates your laptop's ip address like dyndns and the computer would have to log in automatically to an open network or another saved network in order for you to log in.

Given that it is password protected even if you had those I would suspect that the window would be extremely short to login if any and the most likely event is your laptop being formatted.

Best of luck, hope your christmas wasn't ruined because of some asshole.
I didn't say that. It's easier for educated immigrants to get high paying jobs. Indians simply happened to have their own religion in this study.

I'm sure if you plot Chinese vs Russian vs Indian immigrants, the numbers would be pretty close.
Honestly, the setup isn't that complicated that it should take anybody who's following any kind of instructions any time at all. Even compiling from source is pretty straight forward... although there's a couple of "mystery packages" like libreadline that you have to have installed to get things like irb working.

That's why there's guides out there to show you how to do this. My final run through of just copy-pasting the examples in the post took all of 20 minutes and most of that time was spent waiting for Ruby to compile.
I've read about people having this ability in the past, but it was usually related to either brain damage or idiot savancy. I think scientists have just starting studying "normal" people with the ability.
> Sooner or later, I'm going to get around to writing a piece and titling it, "I reject equality" where I lay out the argument that the goal of equality is fundamentally hostile to excellence.

I will offer a pre-counterpoint: equality is not (should not be) about everyone being the same or at the same level, but more "from each according to their ability" — but at the same time considering the 100% effort from everyone to be (nearly) as valuable. This leads to the second question of what you consider essential in achieving exellence: I hope you can offer more of an explanation than "more money as reward".
From the guidelines, for anyone who hasn't clicked:

In Comments

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

---

"Uh, no." IMHO carries a different connotation than, for example, "Actually." I think the former is very much like "That's idiotic" and the latter comes off as more polite.

It might be because I hung out with too many Liberal Arts students (who subsist on Pabst Blue Ribbon and sarcasm), but when I read "Uh, no." I hear it in the condescending tone that announces "You are so lamentably incorrect that I have to say 'Uhhhh...' just to give myself time to process how wrong you are."

I suppose I am defeating my own point, because you can also say "Actually" in the exact same tone. But, I feel like it's almost impossible to say "Uh, no." without the corresponding condescension. The "Uh" is very powerful; moreso in text! Because it means not only did you have that moment of cognitive dissonance--the "Uhh" moment in which you process the depth of their wrongness--but that you are also announcing that dissonance to your conversational partner. That, I think, is where the perceived rudeness comes in.

---

Also, I understand what you mean about degrees of certainty, but it's important to remember that you could still be wrong no matter how certain you are. That doesn't mean you should eschew presenting or advertising your well-researched beliefs; just that there are ways to communicate them without presenting them as the certainties you (perhaps wrongfully) assume they are.
You don't believe that certain individuals can create orders of magnitude more value than others? Or do something for which there is high demand but low supply, hence very high prices? So Steve Jobs and Elon Musk and Larry Page don't deserve their millions?
In Brazil we used to have "civic classes" in highschool about that. Then it became classes on things like "how to not be racist" and then they disappeared completely.
he clearly had a hacker's mindset, in the original sense of the word.
If you're looking for them, the 3 "wrongs" are on pages 38, 82, and 83.

He's obviously a "glass half full" kind of guy with most of his predictions.
With video and screen sharing ?
In summary, the difference between "fast" programmers and "slow" programmers is not 28 (as per Grant and Sackman folklore), but more in the range 1--7. Specifically, The work time variability tends to be larger for task type “test/debug” (SF50 = 2.4, SF25 = 3.2) and even more for “programming” (SF50 = 2.4, SF25 = 7.1) than it is for “maintain” (SF50 = 1.7, SF25 = 2.4) or for “understand”
(SF50 = 1.8, SF25 = 2.9). Task type “review” is special. It exhibits both low variability
(SF50 = 1.1, SF25 = 1.3) and low skewness.
Agreed, having examples is a big step up from the usual "Falsehoods" list.
At the moment a quarter of the population spends their time watching TV and society has a costly bureaucratic infrastructure to funnel money around a variety of government agencies to and for these people. (I have some experience with the English system and that feels decidely sub-optimal.)

So, in the new system you'd still have a quarter of the population watching TV but you'd also have a bunch of bureaucrats and money free to spend on, say, healthcare and health promotion.

I accept that I am overly optimistic about this.
Like many in computing, I also do this. Let's say I want to get a snack, check snail mail, hit the bathroom, and throw on a sweater. Yes, I will solve that miniature Traveling Salesman Problem in my head to figure out the most efficient order, and I'll do it all while my code's compiling. Developers who don't have OED drive me nuts.

My wife has a related problem - Obsessive Saving Disorder. She always checks the gas prices at every station near our house so she can save a few cents per gallon. If prices are rising or falling rapidly, she'll even try to time when she fills up to get the best price. Maybe she comes out ahead by a buck or two sometimes. This same woman, who I love, also habitually pays bills late - or not at all, resulting in costs that are orders of magnitude larger than what she saves on gas. The only way to understand this behavior is to realize it's all about the obsession, not really about saving money. Gas prices must be optimized. Bills needn't be. It all makes perfect sense as a manifestation of OSD. I'll bet that's another variant that a lot of people here have encountered.
Here's the money shot: "The perfect chief executive, from the point of view of shareholders, is a fully fledged sociopath."
I agree, the prior rulings are mostly from the pre-internet days, and entirely from the pre-Facebook/AT&T metadata-used-to-track-folks days.

I think the legal theory will change, but it's a good point that this specific ruling doesn't impact that theory.
The way he mischaracterized it, no. If its illegal, it's illegal, and no contract is valid when it forces someone to do something illegal.

The way it's actually worded, yes, most contracts will specify this. The way it's actually worded really means "if a certain part of this agreement is found to be invalid, the other (still valid) parts are still enforceable. Basically, if part of the contract is void, you can't void the entire contract.

I would hope people can recognize that the way Decade portrays the contract is not the way it's actually worded.
Showing this around the office, the best answer I heard was "Someone made the Staples Easy Button a real thing"

This extends the 'Subscribe and Save' model to products that people are unsure about how often they will need it. You put a Dash button on the shelf where you store toilet paper, and you know precisely when to hit it.

This seems like a small thing, but it's not. There are metrics that measure easily measure how much you forget simply by moving between different rooms in your house.

I love it. The IoT just got a killer application!
I agree. A counterargument is that you're inherently taking advantage of the processor(s) and the operating system, not to mention, ha ha, every single component and factor that you did not personally create, whether or not it is computational in nature...

Another route, my present hobby and something that I know many have done before: Take the Lisp program on page 10 of the Lisp 1.5 User Manual and translate it into C. Write a simple tokenizer/parser (read function) in C and translate that into Lisp. Once the C program can run the equivalent Lisp program, we're on our way.

At the outset I have no garbage collection. I just expect the memory space to fill up pretty soon. I could have `cons` compute a hash for each cell to eliminate common subexpressions, but for a while I suppose I won't bother at all. The C program has a loop to handle evcon (did I write cons? oops), eval, and apply as a trio of mutually tail-recursive operations. That's an obvious place to put a stop-the-world mark-and-sweep operation or some such thing.

To get the C tools out of the loop eventually, hand-disassemble the binary program (C compiler output) just to see what's there. Then write a Lisp program (compiler) that translates the Lisp 1.5 User Manual program into something pretty similar.
Not as much as you'd think. Even if it was, it's not a better place. Now you're trapped in a slightly different sector that you can't leave because your skills don't transfer.

And your job is probably a lot less reliable, because short-term auditing or pen-testing contracts offer a lot less stability than 3-5 year government contracts.
Apparently the hyphen isn't there by mistake. Here's the blog source repo: https://github.com/Mattias-/Mattias-.github.io

Are you perhaps using a browser or a DNS stack that rejects this type of domain name?
Mullenweg is in kind of a unique situation with WordPress/Automattic - they have regular staff meetings all over the world, under the monicker "WordCamp". Sure they don't have all the staff at any of them (except SF, presumably), but a lot of the people working for the company attend various ones regularly, so they can get together in-person for periodic meetings, while at the same time keeping people in touch with what their users are doing.
Interesting, but until it's been independently replicated a couple of times, I wouldn't recommend changing your lifestyle.
Funny thing is my app was rejected because of this feature and I remove it because I understand how invasive it was. Told Apple about this (Clubhouse), they acknowledged they will look at it and they didn’t do anything in the end. Double standards I guess when you have VC backing.
Anyone know if this has killed someone yet?
The US also has almost no sense or urgency (maybe more than the EU, but pretty bad).

Examples:

- modernas main bottleneck is filling. They applied weeks ago to fill the same bottles with 15 doses instead of 10. The FDA has still not approved it.

- the us prioritizes second doses over first doses. This creates a ton of cascading issues, including the fact that many places are storing half the doses for 28 days. Many people have reported getting the same lot number for the second shot.

- the FDA takes 3 weeks to schedule approval meetings (after having reviewed the data enough to believe an EUA is warranted).

-the FDA hasn't approved Astrazeneca, one of the last countries to do so.

-our prioritization system is a mess. It's really hard to figure out who is eligible. "Healthcare workers" (which was supposed to be the first group) is vague, so of course what happened is what you would expect. I know about 100 people personally who have gotten the vaccine as healthcare workers. Only 1 works with COVID patients. Most of the others have less contact with people than grocery store workers. They should have just done covid ward workers first (<1M people) then go by age only. Super easy to know who is eligible. Our local hospital sat on doses from late Dec to late Jan because they didn't know who to give them to. After sitting on them for almost 30 days, they realized if all the doses went bad it would be a scandal so they just gave it to everyone on the property first come first serve.
Unfortunately (for you), your desire for a quiet suburban neighborhood should not give you the ability to immiserate other people who want to live there by prohibiting the construction of homes for them. Do you value your quiet suburban neighborhood enough to buy and pay property taxes on the whole block or subdivision? If not, I recommend you look for estates on acreage in remote areas.
I bought my car with the express intent of getting a compatible car for Comma. My comma absolutely increased the utility of my car to me.

Been on 3 huge road trips that I wouldn’t have considered without the device. 12 hours on the road isn’t something I would do everyday, but absolutely bearable with a comma.
I'm a little ways in so far, and I think—maybe unless you're a certain type of person—it's a book that you hopefully get lucky with in terms of when in your life you read it. It's a slow read, but the first few chapters have been nice so far, while some others I know have just not clicked with it.
It seems like in Hawaii they expropriated lots of people, which is a violation of private property. Private property is a necessary prerequisite for capitalism so I’m sure that it’s not correct to say that “imperialism is often done for capitalism” as its an oxymoron. “We had to destroy the village in order to save it”.
geometric increase in the patent permit price.
Isn't that the purpose of 24 hour news streams like CNN?
The 'companies we monitor' are just that - domains that I added to my own user in this app. Yes, it can appear shady, as if I was trying to hint that these juggernauts are my clients. They are not :) But hey, public servers are public, anyone can monitor them, right?

Re the statuspage - that's just a CNAME record, I'm a proud user of updown.io (which, btw, also offer SSL expiration checks for hosts they monitor!)

Actually, Safari is the only actual browser allowed on the iPhone/iPad. Also, it IS open/inclusive. Anyone can code his web app for the iPhone/iPad, and they have to target Safari, but they can code anything the want and bypass the App Store.

("Opera for the iPhone" is using a mediator service, and as such is not a real web browser).
have you seen him doing those kind of snarky jokes about apple? ever?
