If your condition isn't bothersome enough that you need an ad to prompt you to mention it to your doctor, perhaps it's not really an issue.

I think a lot of these ads prod hypochondriacs to rush to their doctor (or perhaps even the ER) to "tell them about their symptoms" which just drives up costs for everyone.
You can still see some "legendary" quotes from it around Serbia such as

- "If you want to win, you must not lose"

- "It is better to live 100 years as a millionaire, than 7 days in misery"

- "Never give up, unless you have to"

The opposite —- calling python libraries directly from Lisp, like you can from Julia — would be much more useful. No adult wants to use python, but for some reason it is replete with yummy libraries.
That's a great paper. I wonder how I've missed it. I'm happy to to say that it partially confirms my own take on the situation. I thought of it only in 2 categories - Comp sci/math guys vs. Applied statistics guys (mostly from Humanities). Reality seems more nuanced then that (as always). Very nice read!
That idealogoy never went away. It just morphed and developed. After all, nobody in their right mind thinks Stalin's USSR is a good thing to repeat. But many also think we can do better than neoliberalism, and practice seems to bear that out.
Look up "The people's Republic of Walmart" for a recent book on the calculation debate for example.
From my limited experience at a few companies that did something similar to what you mentioned:

1: The CEO gets a report that shows people using the app are more engaged and spend more time. They are “good” customers. The ones that don’t aren’t as engaged or spend less time. They got this report as part of a ROI in building the app.
2: The CEO thinks everyone should be pushed to the app so they’re more engaged and spend more time with the product.

Replace CEO with your favorite decision maker if necessary.

Never mind that the people using the app were probably the most engaged users before the app existed or by pushing the app onto users, you make it harder to allow users to get more engaged.
They have thebrexitparty.org
I hate the flavour of OOP present in C++/Java/C# as much as the next man, but the principles are sound. Defining the interface at the user side is like a conflict of interest, like a kangaroo court. It's just bad architecture.
Eos is a good a example. It's governance is falling apart.

How to solve it? Well, I guess it needs more governance and rules :)
It was a short period and basically stopped after WWII. They could have occupied Japan and a thousand island if they wanted to and did not (now please just give state status to Puerto Rico)

USA is more interested in free trade than in military conquest. Something I dare say, that is totally unlike USSR. Being an "ally" of USSR meant something totally different than being an ally of USA.

Aside from being good advice generally, I doubt anyone who's concerned about the violation of privacy Zoom engages in, would have a Facebook account.
And imagine the outcry about those evil capitalists if Amazon did manage to source PPE while hospitals cannot.
With processor support for virtualization, the overhead is minimal. I personally use a Windows machine at home (for games, sigh) and run VMs for a Linux development machine and a few k8s nodes for testing. The performance inside the VMs is excellent.

I think right now if you want to have a single-node testing cluster, you will be very happy with minikube and the VM it creates. If you want multiple nodes, you will be very happy with VMs; you can create, destroy, and inject errors right from the command-line without having to walk over to physical machines and manipulate them.

Worked in a bakery in college. As my old boss would say, "we don't want blonde, we want em brunette". Big improvement to taste once it cools down, similar in concept to the fond at the bottom of a pan.
"exasperated" -> "exacerbated"?
This is just incorrect. I mean, Date.toISOString() will do that. Plus, it's very likely that this is just what's written in the post by the author and may have nothing to do with JavaScript. Or it could be JS that converts times to local time (I'm in PDT, so I can't tell), which is what a lot of sites do.
> Or is it actively targeting (laser etc) for terminal guidance of the shells?

Seems like that is the case, yes, at least from what I could read on the wiki page I linked in a comment above [1]

> drone + artillery, do you have a link to more details?

Not necessarily what you asked for but this targeted Google search [2] (which is in fact a /r/syriancivilwar search) can give you an idea of what the Russian implementation of this technology can do (I didn't catch the name of the Turkish/NATO implementation of it on the other side).

Looking at this tweet [3] from 2 days ago it seems that the technology has evolved quite rapidly, that poster is linking to a tweet from late 2017 when the Russians were still in the early test phase of it all. [4]

Isn't this less useful than the original?
... unfortunately a practical reason still exists and it's called "Minecraft".

Minecraft is single-handedly teaching the next generation that having Java installed is somehow useful. For real. I can't teach them "just deinstall that shit", because they can't play Minecraft.
Also, refactoring is easier - you just order to rename some method and all references are processed, you don't have to worry you missed something.
Beyond the obvious and completely overused case-studies, where do you hope gamification could evolve?

I think the blog post gives a gentle introduction to the leadup of gamification but reading over the rest of the site, it seems a lot of risk for a platform to put their weight behind a points/badges system.
You really nail it. I just want to add that all of this applies to DST too, although it’s a little different because it’s artificial and well-known.
It's much easier to complain like the spoiled developers we've become."

By your own comments, that's not really fair. The Apache project has become a disaster area of bureaucracy, crappy code and crappier documentation. You have to spend weeks in the muck to get to the point where you can even properly understand the deficiencies of any given Apache subproject, and by that point, you're so bound up in the project that it's hard to move away. From the build system of the code to the structure of the community, not a single thing about Apache is what I would characterize as nimble or lightweight. Can you blame people for feeling helpless?

It's gotten to the point where I'll look anywhere for a competing implementation of an idea before using Apache code to do something. It's just not worth the pain.
It also sounds like you'd be a fan of a parenting style where a child is punished but not told why.

Hi jimaek!

Thanks for putting this service together. For an African testing location maybe a VPS provider from ZA would work? Following are a few providers with Joburg or Cape Town presences (haven't personally used any though so YMMV):

As a Chinese, I really wonder whether the Chinese government is doing the same thing (or maybe several countries' governments are doing this?) I did have a friend who received immediate warning phone call from Ministry of State Security just a few minutes after he posted something controversial about government's ethnic policy. It was 2009 and he was using a campus computer. That's why I never put personal data on campus computers back in China.
The problem with this article are statements about value of "fermentable" fiber without giving any real info about the nature of such fiber. (Except it's not digested by gut enzymes, hence "leftovers" that colonic organisms may be able to "ferment".)

There are many kinds of dietary fiber, it's actually quite a complex subject. The basic classification of "soluble" and "insoluble" is not very informative. As the article says, there are a great number of different organisms that can inhabit the "biome", each species of bacteria, fungus, virus, etc. has its own preferred substrates, and produces its own particular set of fermentation products.

I believe the research on biome activity is complicated by the vast range of variation among the organisms as well as the sorting out the beneficial or harmful effects of their activity on the host. And of course, we must not forget hosts also show a range of characteristics and are dynamically variable too.

As the article hints, research shows biome effects on many body functions, such as immune system and metabolic function. However, pinning down specifically what substrates are important to which organisms producing helpful/harmful effects is a daunting mission.

It's going to take a great deal more study before we will begin to have any clear idea about exactly which of the million different forms of fiber is going to be good (or bad) for any given health issue.
I have the same experience with not being signed into chat networks, or not having Facebook / WhatsApp / Twitter etc. etc. accounts. People either don't tell me anything, or they email.

The craziest thing I get asked is "Do you have WhatsApp? I can send you pictures, and it's FREE!". Oddly the thought of sending an email with a picture attached (how easy is it on a phone these days??) doesn't pop into their mind as being "free" either!!! Insane! Email is far superior, as I can archive it unlike IM history.
It's as they say: we have to win every time, they only need to win once. I hope other Australians on this site will teach their friends and family how to protect their privacy. I know I will be.

There are at least two bugs involved here. One is the fact that you can breach into the setroubleshootd_t domain because of the shell parsing error. The second is a policy one: the setroubleshootd_t allows you to create a file with any attribute (here the suid bit), making it possible to elevate privileges.

The point Sebastian (stealth) is making is fairly balanced: SELinux is very useful, but it's not the catch-all solution to containing root exploits; it even has bugs in its implementations and policies, like all software.
Did you read the linked message? Assange is citing claims from a number of other sources. He made very few claims of his own. The messages ends with:

> Is the NSA really snooping on the Net? If they are, would that violate the
agency's charter, which specifically prohibits it from spying within the
US? "Well, Net traffic is routed from God knows where to God knows where
around the world," says George Washington University Professor Lance
Hoffman, a professor of Communications and Telecommunications Systems
Policy at George Washington University. "So if the NSA is doing this, they
could say they are not violating their charter not to spy in the US. That's
the thing. Intelligent routers send stuff any which way."

Which claim is wrong?

In terms of your claim, it's worth looking at page 28, where it specifically states that "two of the most productive SIGINT collection partnerships that NSA has with the private sector are with COMPANY A and COMPANY B. These two relationships enable NSA to access large volumes of foreign-to-foreign communications transiting the United States through fiber-optic cables, gateway switches, and data networks. They also provide foreign intelligence authorized under the FISA. "

It is clear on page 29 that "COMPANY A and COMPANY B" approached the NSA after 9/11 to offer further assistance, but this contact was, according to the report, made via an existing NSA contact, and the new approach was regarding call records, not internet traffic.

It is not at all clear what portion of the interception described on page 28 and top of page 29 started before 9/11, but it is worth noting that this interception specifically occurs in the section about "history of NSA Partnerships with the Private Sector" and not under the subsequent "Partnerships after 11 September 2001" section.

You are right that the report appears to support your claim that the NSA scaled up after 9/11, but it in no way makes clear from what foundation the scaled up.
Serious reporting in television media is long gone. It's been all hype, sensationalism, drama, matinee-horror-show entertainment for at least the past 20 years.

Stop watching TV news. You won't learn anything and it's designed to make you anxious.
Not sure which country you hail from, but I know that there are laws compelling you to hand over keys generally worldwide[1]. So I guess it depends if the crime you're guilty of (Otherwise why would you even need to hide everything) outweighs the punishment for withholding keys.

In the past the BBC has been somewhat anti-establishment especially during the Thatcher years. Recently its been a bit more pro-establishment especially as the BBC's charter is to be renewed in 2016 and during which issue of funding will come up.

I have seen those same tears in Kfar Saba.

That said, I agree with you that the naive 19 year old in the US is more naive than her counterpart elsewhere. That doesn't say anything about Americans perception of Iraqi/Afgahni values. I don't think Americans are more naive about these than other people about similar things. Probably less.

Fallacies, naivety. These are pretty wide.
My mistake, I was thinking macroeconomic instead of microeconomic.

You're right, it's yet another aspect of the "Australian invents something, Australia refuses to invest, Australian goes overseas and makes tons of cash" phenomenon.
Wikileaks motivation and the politics of its founders are somewhat of a red herring so long as they simply make documents available verbatim, leaving commentary to others. I would prefer it if there were 5 or 10 wikileaks to to balance the effect of this power being concentrated, but one step at a time.

Meanwhile the immediate effects of breaking down secrecy are potentially volatile. For example, Iraeli papers are currently running stories about Israel coordinating with the Palestinian Authority and Egypt. Anyone following ME politics knows that (a) this is almost certainly true. (b) proof of its truth will play to the hands of the anti-compromise, theocratic elements in that region.

Similarly, Arab States (eg Saudi Arabia) supported US invasion of Iran. Similarly unsurprising. Similarly bolstering of anti-compromise, theocratic elements.

My reading is that both of these are bad.

The long term effects are more difficult to gauge. But I think they will be positive. Basically, governments will have to align their private policies more closely to their public ones.

All of you guys are imagining some sort of 6 month junky contract to hire situation. All I'm talking about is a 3-10 day contract like the article mentions.

An unemployed candidate can do a contract like that while evaluating other jobs and possibly waiting for other offers to come in.

An employed candidate can do the work in off-hours.

Speaking as a Vi(m) user, viper is a pale imitation of the vi model. It gives you the basic keybindings all right, but you can tell its fake. Getting vi right is about more than keybindings. Undo doesn't behave predictably. You can't always compose commands the way you would in vi. Actions that would be a single discrete unit in vi become an awkward workaround. I wanted to like viper, because I like emacs's programming environment better than Vim's, but it's not worth sacrificing the feel and functionality of vim's editing model.
It seems a bit tasteless to promote another game engine in this thread.
In Rails-land there is a term DHH used (not sure if he coined it) called "conceptual compression". All of these OS, compiler, run-times, emulators, etc. have been conceptually compressed down so far that a typical application writer doesn't have to dive deep into those to solve problems. In fact, in Rails you might not get past the ORM much into actual SQL. You can spend an entire career solving good business problems writing CRUD and related apps.

I would consider myself in older generation, having graduated around when Google was operating in a garage. I took assembly programming and played with circuit boards and logic gates in college. I don't have specialized knowledge of OS writing or compilers but I have enough from a CompSci degree (or maybe it was building gaming rigs in the days of dealing with IRQs) to know if I see issues in those areas. A lot of the concepts in computing haven't changed in ages, yet the buzzwords have.

I would only suggest diving into those areas deeply if you are looking for a job/career change. I say career because working on writing HW drivers or other things is almost a different career than writing business apps since the job opportunities will be different. I've run into folks that got "stuck" into deeply specific areas of computing and have no buzzwords on their resume. They got laid off and are having a hard time finding work.
If you believe that this tool has found all the data races in the C++ code, or even a majority of them, I have a bridge to sell you.
It's probably less about logic and more about law, the US government can't refuse entry to US citizens and would rather prevent a court case that inevitably ends in the No-Fly list being ruled unconstitutional.
We are using Cypress at my workplace and we're quite happy with it. It also has endpoint mocking, mobile emulation etc.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any advantages of Playwright when compared to Cypress?

The patent troll in the case got a 440M award… and Apple had to spend a bunch of engineering time throwing out the already-working p2p implementation and rebuilding a centralized version… and you’re suggesting that this was all a mere smoke screen?
One big meal at dinner and a bit of grazing, although if I eat enough fat I don't feel like grazing later. I'm not completely militant about it, if someone asks me to meet up for lunch I'll go, but 95% of the time I stick with it. Plus it's nice to only have to make one decision about food a day and you save some $ from not buying lunch each day.

Sadly, after hue goes through violet, it then disappears into magenta, which isn't in fact a colour on the spectrum at all, before arriving back at red when it reaches 1.
I hope this shakes up the VPS hosting industry, too. I'd love to see what kind of Linode or EC2 style on-demand computing these might provide.
Big surprise, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM not innovating? I can't believe it...

Just look at the computers they are selling. most still offers 512M of RAM as a default. What can you run on 512? Nothing like having to upgrade the day you receive your product. Consumers by and large need the guidance of manufacturers to make the right HW choices and the manufacturers just want the cash. They will suck each segment dry until the market forces them to make the changes. That's progress?

With all the advances in multi-monitor add-on SW or the fact that Windows and Mac OS have been supporting multi-monitor control for years, try finding hardware already fitted with multiple display connections. In the end, the user is forced to customize their own equipment. And yes, I know most HN readers do this, but I am talking about the general public.

Great to see the little guys are still fighting. The big ones really don't give a damn.
Perseverance and stamina are rare qualities, and that gorilla is a very nice work of art. A ported BF chess engine not so much. Now, a C-to-BF compiler would be interesting.

The recent "X in pure CSS" theme is important as it shows how advanced CSS3 is. They are tech demos, which as we know are often not meant to be anything more than that. They display how far you can bend CSS and nothing more. Just like the Blendtech ads, if someone cut down a tree with a pocket knife in an afternoon I bet 1/2 of us would run out to buy that knife.

I think I learned this in Given's book "Super Self"; the basic idea is that the subconscious mind will generate fatigue or excuses to avoid work. Why this would be so nobody knows but I found it to be true. The other problem is that if this pattern becomes a habit or automated it can be very difficult to break. The only way to break out is to consciously decide to ignore the excuses and fatigue and do the work anyway. In your case, set a limit -- I'm going to work on x for 30min no matter what and ignore the distractions, excuses, false fatigue, etc. The idea is to retrain your self to work on your goals and build up from 5 minutes to 10,20,30,60 minutes until you relearn goal focus.
