If you're using MySQL, you can add the following:

CHAR_LENGTH(post_title) as characters

AFAIK most SQL servers have some equivalent of a LEN() function.

Edit: Better yet, try something like this:

SELECT left(post_date, 7) as month,
ROUND(AVG(CHAR_LENGTH(post_title)), 0) as characters
FROM `wp_PREFIX_HERE_posts`
WHERE post_type = "post"
GROUP BY left(post_date, 7)
ORDER BY left(post_date, 7)

This will provide you an average post title length by month.

GitHub enterprise
According to this[1] post GitHub (or someone else in between) started changing the responses to alert("Malicious Script Detected")[2]. That's an awesome counterattack - this stops the script from looping indefinitely and annoys the users.

There's a difference between being "The universal standard for being in touch" and being the primary tool for business communications. Yes, email is not dying for inter-business communications (intra-business is a different story, slack et al).

But as "The universal standard for being in touch" it's definitely dead. I don't even know emails of most of my friends nowadays.
Not quite. async/await are what's known as stackless coroutines, and require explicit usage. Lightweight threads, aka user mode threads, aka fibers, are simply threads that have negligible (or no) cost associated with blocking. Examples include Erlang processes, Go goroutines and Quasar fibers.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here.

The tree of resolution deductions that SAT provers (modulo theories or
otherwise) like Z3 produce is of course a proof in a valid proof
system. Typically that is some variant of a propositional resolution
proof system. The problem is that the reasoning is classical: to show
A, falsity is deduced from (not A). This is not constructively valid,
you can only deduce (not not A) if (not A) implies falsity.

So the resolution proof that Z3 outputs can be converted to a
classical proof and expressed in classical proof systems like
(Isabelle/)HOL, but not in constructive systems like Coq and Agda.
Upfront as in before the service? I have a problem with automated gas pumps asking if I need a receipt before I finish the transaction just in case they use that as a cue to skim from my transaction. I would be very uncomfortable deciding whether to tip before the service is provided.

People already have an expectation companies won't give compensation for BSD licensed code, that the small donation was listed as Apple without context it was a personal donation match is what was shocking.
I had read quite some years ago now that Apple made use of NetBSD as a starting point each time they needed to port to a new architecture (you know how they saying goes), but ultimately it's the FreeBSD userland and XNU kernel that remains... albeit very outdated userland these days - maybe that's why they don't donate much, they only have FreeBSD from >12 years ago. It's always a PITA giving bash scripts to mac users.
This is the lived thesis of https://www.instagram.com/flavorkit/channel/?hl=en who's sort of a travelling amateur farmer (in the sense of self-educated through love of the topic) and constantly talking about soil as an ecosystem and the very important role fungus plays in that ecosystem.

I think, you are misreading it.

It isn't about making an architectural design decision / change at 3am, but someone has to live with the consequences of such a design decision and fix something in some way or another at 3am in the morning.

I.e. you could go with a clustered db setup which is supposedly HA, or a classical single instance DB...

The point here is, whoever has to get up at 3am to fix a potential catastrophic failure in the setup should have a say in it.
Thanks! Right, so the successful version was the one written in Lisp. Okay, that's actually understandable. At that time, managed languages were not widely used, and C is really not a good choice for that kind of project. If those are the two options, I can certainly see how Lisp would do better.
It would be interesting to create a cryptocurrency where transactions take an additional time to settle based on amount from the time the transaction is requested.

$20k? No delay other than getting the transaction through the mining pools or whatever. $500k? Maybe an hour to settle. $1m+? That’s going to take a day (in which time big red warning lights can flash on your defi project wall boards).
Some providers provide speedtests that test (only) last-mile speed between, e.g., cable modem and head unit. Mine does that and reports 1Gb/s just fine. Of course, only to the head unit, nowhere else in the universe.
Seriously, "cringe" (as a non-verb) has been incredibly widespread and lame for a couple years now. Mostly used by literal children, as far as I can tell.
it's a synonym for "job", in most places. the repetition serves to reinforce the point: enforced waged labor is destructive to the person.
I’d consider equities and real property separate from savings.
Geographically, at some point it doesn't matter. Everything else being equal, Canada is equivalent to the US, to Brazil, to India, to China, to Russia, etc. The difference boils down to population and economy. The USSR was slightly ahead in population and significantly behind in economy.

The "Communist block" was the USSR plus subjugated/unwilling allies. The US allies were much, much better, since:

1. They actually wanted to be part of their block.

2. Their resources, populations and economies were definitely far ahead of the "Communist block" ones. After all, the UK and France were still colonial empires in 1955. While Poland and Romania... yeah... You could count China, but China basically only got involved in wars near its borders: Korea, Vietnam. It was never going to join the USSR in an all-out, nuclear war against the West unless directly attacked for some reason. It was part of the reason the split happened between the USSR and China (China wouldn't fall in line like Hungary or Czechoslovakia).

The US could still be ahead, but it's alienating all its allies right now.
> It's uniquely bad in Italy. Not entirely clear why.

Aging population that generally lives in multi-generational housing or at least in close proximity. The US, especially in blue states, is unique in how separated different generations are physically.
That's not what peer review is for.

Honestly it's no different to normal.

You have to look at who is making the claim and if they can back it up.

And if it's outlandish they really really need to back it up.

Maybe there needs to be more of a barrier of entry or a fee paid or a rating system with punishments.

But that's the same problem as peer review.
They deprecated functionality that no longer fit GNOME's workflow even if it is when it's still needed on other desktops and operating systems (see systray icons[1]). Their developers stated on more than one occasion that GTK is a GNOME-first toolkit.

Relying on GTK to be a cross-platform GUI toolkit is very risky given its current direction.

Are you sure they're GPL?

Maybe they're dual-licensed, and the Apple app store is using "the other licence"?

The experience doesn't translate, but the skills certainly do.

It's not just those hardcore simulations that translate well. Even standard console games like Forza and GT are good at predicting real world talent. Yeah, the first time these people get behind the wheel of a real race car, they will be sore af and probably puke all over the place. But a workout routine will build physical endurance and most people overcome the nausea eventually.

A dozen or so people have graduated from Sony's GT Academy (online racing competition) and gone on to racing professionally.
> Schedule (yes, actually put on your calendar) time to engage in focused work. Start with 5 minutes a day. You won't get any actual deep work done at first, but that's fine. It's about building the muscle. Add 5 minutes a day, or every other day if you're struggling. It quickly adds up - you'll be at an hour within 2 weeks if you make steady progress.

That's what worked for me in developing healthy habits. After about 180 failed attempts of just completely overhauling my schedule and being perfect in all ways starting Day 1, I dialed way back and just focused on 1 new habit every 2 weeks. Sometimes if it was a simple one, I might add a new habit per week. But taking it slow and reducing bad behaviors (binge watching entire seasons of reality TV over the weekend) and adding in healthier things in their place (reading nonfiction, going to the gym) allowed me to slowly but gradually really improve my life.

Will try the incremental deep work focus this week- thanks for the idea!
In all of that text, I couldn't find why he's supposedly "china's most authoritarian leader since Mao," other than a discussion of him trying to limit corruption in local government, which is a massive problem in China. If anything, this seems like a fluff piece trying keep in step with the "evil, scary China" narrative.
This video seem so wrong headed. It never asks those people want they do it for. And it also starts off on a terrible premise that they doing evil deads. You say this on a computer built by capitalist, on internet built by capitalist, on a website built by YC capitalist who empower other capitalist.

Capitalism is literally just a system where people can trade things they want for things they need. And capitalist build things people want. If people wanted economic safe,environmental goods they could have it given they would give other resources to gain them. Look at tesla, spacex, apple computers, kiva, and all the companies that build environmental friendly tools.

If anything remotivation needs to be done to government not capitalism but that system is far more broken than the capitalist system that seems to be working fine in comparison to every other system.

There are both right and left leaning subs on reddit and it works ok.

Reddit occasionally bans subreddits for various reasons (see r/fatpeplehate and the predecessor to r/hydrohomies). True, r/thedonald was banned, but not because of political leaning (r/conservative is running just fine), but because of how it was spreading misinformation and calling for violence.
Either I'm misunderstanding or this is a non-problem. You can specify older versions of a package when you install it. You can also manage them with packrat. As long as researchers share their language and package versions, you can fully reproduce their environment. (And the base language is really stable, almost to a fault.)

This is just a bad way for the author to promote their own library for dealing with this. The way their library seems to approach this (using dates instead of versions) seems horrible too - on any given date I can have a random selection of packages in my environment, some of them up-to-date, some of them not. So unless all researchers start using the author's library (and update to the latest versions of everything just before they publish), it's only making things worse and not really solving the problem it claims to solve.
I was genuinly sad when Facebook bought Oculus as I knew they would never be able to resist the temptation to add all kinds of data harvesting to it.

You were complaining about being inaccurately quoted in press releases. Press releases are written by comms dept within a business, so if you have a complaint with how they're written, that's something to take up with your internal teams, not with external journalists.

Based solely on my observations traveling in the area, the topography is so extreme (very steep cliffs not far from the river banks) that there is little option but to live near the river.

I'm sure there are more and less safe places on the river bank, but there aren't many places a safe distance from the river that aren't also thousands of feet up in elevation.

I scan in all my documents as PDFs. The text, including tables, gets scanned in as text. I can copy from the document and paste it anywhere else. Spotlight and Google can index the PDFs.

I'd love to do the test to learn about my genetic heritage, but I'm far too afraid of what it might say about disease risk.

Suppose it comes back with a genetic marker for something like Parkinson's. What do you do with that knowledge? You can't just cut down on cholesterol or exercise more - if it's coming, it's coming. All you'd do is spend the rest of your life with a terrible foreboding you can never escape.
For the past few years (probably closer to a decade now), I've been a great admirer of the Principia Discordia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Discordia).

When I first read it, I found it to be "ha-ha", but then, following the advice within the text itself, I read it again, and realised that there's much more to it than humor.

Not saying I follow it to the letter - that would be fairly hard -, but it did influence my way of thinking, for the better, I hope.
They really should give it in miles-per-megajoule or something, though, rather than "mpg equivalent", which only serves to confuse people.

What is a "gallon equivalent" of electricity anyway? Is it the amount of electricity you'd get if you burned the gallon and generated electricity at 100% efficiency? Or the amount that you'd get if you used it to generate electricity with power-plant efficiency (which incidentally is pretty high)? Or perhaps it's the amount of electricity you get if you burn the CO2-emissions equivalent amount of coal? Or the dollar equivalent amount of coal? Or... well, there's a bunch of other possible definitions.
Surely if the average person is told "There's an X chance you'll die. There's a Y chance you'll lose a leg. There's a Z chance you'll be blown up", they'll worry unduly no matter what X,Y,Z are.

I can see what you're saying, that if you're a qualified doctor, or have studied medicine for years, then 23andme could be useful, but for everyone else, I think it could be very dangerous.
It is sad, but it's really the classic NIMBY reaction. --The wars are happening on a different continent, so not nearly as many people feel that they are directly affected by the wars.

My reply:
One of the benefits of relying on crowdsourcing for quality judgements (i.e. using people to determine what content goes on your site), is that by and large the system takes care of itself - good stuff generally floats upwards and bad stuff generally floats downwards. The advantage of this is that the system can respond to current events much much more quickly than any kind of curated medium. Many stories are 'broken' in places like hackernews and reddit long before mainstream media catch the story.

One of the downsides is that the system does have a fair dose of randomness. A story with 50 votes is not necessarily worth half a story with 100 votes. Likewise, some stories will get missed - perhaps the right people weren't looking at the new queue when it was submitted, or perhaps another high-profile story was taking up people's attention.

This is the tradeoff you make; increased reaction time for reduced recall. I.e. hackernews and sites like it feature fresher content with the drawback that some stories don't make it.

Fortunately, this system takes care of the drawback by virtue of the fact that if an important story is somehow missed, the chances are it will be submitted again by a different user and have another chance to rise.

Which is exactly what happened here. The system works, it self-corrected the omission of this story. How cool is that!
Of course we still have to market our apps, but you completely failed to see my point. But that's ok.

Waste of what space?? It's not like more apps take up a scarce resource. They need a better search interface (or you need better searching skills) if you see a bunch of results that aren't relevant.

Imagine if Google took this approach?

I find it funny that there's a bigger uproar against airport security screenings than there is against a war where civilians are injured and killed. Both are related to terror, but what a difference in perception.

It's a bit silly if that's the extent of the bill, and it's difficult to say exactly how courts would apply it, but basically it says that the TSA (well, every government agency) and their employees do not have immunity if they do something wrong or illegal.

The easiest examples would be with children. A TSA employee could be charged for viewing the image of a child produced by the new imaging scanners on the grounds that it could be considered pornographic. Or if a TSA employee pats down a child, it could be considered molestation. Again, though, it's really difficult to say what effects, if any, this bill would realistically have, especially if that's all there is to it (it's not available on THOMAS yet).

In any event, I can't see this bill getting through the House, not to mention the problem of trying to find a sponsor in the Senate.

Have you considered coordinating with the original authors to compile them into a book? It's really easy to self publish to Kindle now.
For the average layperson, you are correct and I'll probably use this analogy myself in conversation. Legally, however, your analogy doesn't hold water. Yes, it's an analogy and many times they aren't 100% analogous, but I feel it's worth pointing out the legalistic differences.

And here's the reason: Aunt Marge isn't using a linked list. That is, each coupon doesn't point to the next coupon in the list. It's simply a collection (or array) of coupons.

Now, let's bring this back to a point that's somewhat more relevant. If you did implement something more analogous to Aunt Marge's coupon collection (say an array), and trimmed out items as the code noticed they were expired, would you infringe this patent? Maybe not. I haven't tried reading the details of the patent, but if the article is correct and if, as in every other case, every detail of the patent matters, then I'd wager your array-with-expiring-items would not infringe.

And that is what's wrong with software patents. Maybe we've been expiring items from collections, dictionaries and arrays for a long time. But suddenly, apply it to a linked list and you've infringed the patent. Nonsense.
