Let me preface this by admitting that, outside of work related tasks, I'm extremely lazy. I mean, so lazy that I have to set a reminder on my phone just to check my to-do list for the day.

That being said, I haven't tried calorie counting in years, but the problem was that I was just too lazy to look up each item, guess the weight, and calculate the calories. I think I had a Palm Treo at the time, and was using something on that to track things, but I would always forget to enter the calories.

Basically, after years of figuring myself out, I think I "know thyself" enough to know that that won't work. I do have a knack for remembering non-time-related things, so I've leveraged that to just remember portions. I can look at a plate, and know exactly how much to eat so that I will feel full 15 minutes later after I stop eating. I don't worry about the calories, just the ingredients, so limited processed food.
It does seem strange to me that so few people are paid to work full time on ruby etc (core tech) when you consider the massive total benefit from making ruby a few % faster or better. Why is the funding not there?
so now you can go look for any controversial comment made by a streamer you dislike, on any platform and Twitch will gladly deplatform them, leaving them with the usual byzantine ban appeal process to get back on the platform?
I can't speak to amazon specifically, but my understanding of this phenomena in general, especially with ads that are bid for, is that the systems which track and gauge your likelihood to purchase aren't connected to the systems that know you did make a purchase, at least at the point in the system where it's making the decision of what ad to show. It just sees that you've done things that a person who is likely to purchase that thing has done, which, of course you do, because you DID purchase that thing. It's like the ad is chosen based on the strongest additive signal available, and negative signal isn't considered.
Hmm what if you have the speakers on max volume with pretty much all the other sensors all maxed? Here are a few I can think of: keyboard backlight, wifi, bluetooth, accelerometer, speakers, mic?, camera, proximity sensor, touch id, maxing out CPU, GPU, ML engine, SSD, ram, typing on the keyboard, using the trackpad. Using those all at once must surely draw more than 39 W if not then not using most of them must also mean it probably draws a lot less than 39 W during normal operation.
TLDR: And in the darkness, be sure to drink your Ovaltine!
It’s a fair point but I think there’s a difference between some music group that owns the rights to Tupac’s likeness creating an image of him to sell more things and a family member wanting to see an deceased relative in motion.

But I take your point that it could be used in distasteful ways, much like how Tupac was used (IMO).
Apple doesn’t require 2FA. I don’t have a Google account. All my accounts with 2FA use an Authenticator app. 2FA with SMS is insecure. If an account needs a phone, I use whatever number is in the SIM I’m using, and then it becomes outdated when I get a new SIM.

It’s not practical to pay for a static phone number and SIP service. Phone numbers are stupid. They’re insecure, expensive, and region locked (no such thing as international number, many services only support numbers with specific country code).
Too pretty for that. High Elvish in a different alphabet?
curious about the performance issue. Would the impact on performance be larger than a similarly sized block list in a browser plugin?

I have a netbook, so always want to keep an eye out on performance.

I wonder if there's a GUI application which enables these hosts sources to be tweaked, searched, whitelisted etc
Just like lizard squad, it has been a fun week.
I'm sure there's lots lost in translation, but what I got out of it was more in the area of feeling that the sanctity of the mountain (in a religion-of-nature manner) was violated by "heretics".
Oh! I know what you are talking about and remember the issue. You had/have to add `setWMName "LG3D"' to the configuration since versions older than Java 7 don't include Xmonad on their hardcoded list of suppported window managers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like that one was Xmonad's fault.

Interesting, to be honest I don't really use any extensions. I do use Java apps and openoffice these days and they work fine.

Thanks for your response! I'll have to try adding some extensions and see what happens.
Seems like the type of thing Big Brother would do to make it more palatable. Personally, no, I would never do sacrifice my privacy for whatever amount they'd give you. But I guess that choice is up to each individual, really.
Messing with the URIs isn't going to work because most ads are from ad networks and their domains can be blocked. And no ad network is going to trust some system where they need to rely on the client server to not lie about ad impressions.

Adblock mostly misses self-hosted ads anyway.
One of my pains on the early GNU/Linux days (slackware 2.0 and beyond) was to configure the keyboard for Portuguese both on the console and on X.

Almost as fun as finding out the right modes not to burn the monitor.
You would think UFO sightings would increase now that everyone carries a HD video camera with them at all times.
That's not really fair. My parents and my gf's parents both have houses with empty space that we could live in that's not being used. Essentially the space is being wasted. I bet many people's parents have similar available space (probably left over from when you were a child and living with your parents already).

My gf, who is Chinese, would love to live with her parents (thankfully she is even cheaper than I am). She nags me constantly about the $500 we pay our landlord every month for our apartment. Unfortunately, I was raised in the US where living with your parents after you graduate from school is a social faux pas.
But the article wasn't talking about pseudoscience, alternative medicine, or New Age beliefs. It was talking about women in scientific fields.

Just because a word has multiple definitions doesn't mean you can pick one that doesn't apply and call me wrong.
I can't edit my first comment again but I was talking about updating Safari in both operating systems. In OSX you are required to restart, in Windows you don't need to.
I don't think anybody is advocating keeping it chained to your desk while using it. I imagine it is more along the lines of being able to pop in a lock when you go to grab a coffee or go to the bathroom and unlocking it when you come back.

> It doesn't seem nearly as bad as the "live with your parents" advice.

What's wrong with that advice? It's an American thing that kids need to move out on their own at 18. My wife's culture sees that as rather harsh. She lived at home until 28, when at 27 she married. Her older sister lived at home, sharing a room with their younger sister, until she was 25 (I think), when she finally married and moved out for the first time. Her husband lived at home with his parents in a small room until he got married as well.

I was the odd one out, being American, and living on my own.

The entire family support structure is there. Living at home has many benefits. They were able to go to school, focus on their education, and their career early on without having to worry about paying lots of bills and taking care of their own house.

You'd think they wouldn't be ready for the real world, but you'd be wrong. In my brother-in-laws case, he had bought a house at about 20, and rented it out. This was done with his money, that he had saved, because his parents paid for everything (with some fun and interesting conditions along the way). But the house was bought, and rented for many years before they moved in after being married.

My wife and I benefit equally in many other ways from this close knit family life. We have day-care providers next door: family we can trust. Family is close, and we get the benefits that entail.

Sure, their are downsides, but overall, it's made me realize how harsh the "American" view of an 18-year-old's responsibilities are. If anything, it does less to support them in the long run.

No, living with your parents isn't bad. My wife has cousins in their 30's that are still living with their parents, preparing for marriage. A couple are preparing to move out, as they haven't married yet.

It's a different culture, for sure. But it's not as bad as it seems. I thought it was odd when I first saw it first hand, but after years of seeing the results, I can't help but think that throwing kids out at 18 is by far the weirder approach.

> I mean, he's advocating all this extreme frugality as a way to afford camera gear, right?

No. He's advocating all these ideas as methods you can use to obtain the things you really want.

> I mean, he's advocating all this extreme frugality as a way to afford camera gear, right?
Sure, I could do that, but a lot of the lectures online pronounce it like "cock", at least when the lecture is from an American or a British person.

It it immature to worry about that? Sure, people probably should grow up at some level, but the fact is that I don't really have a magic wand to automatically change the maturity level of every engineer I might ever work with, and those engineers can as a result use it to make people feel unwelcome in tech.
> Dear members of the Coq community,

The Coq development team acknowledges the recent discussions (started on the Coq-Club mailing list) around Coq's logo and name.

We wish to thank everyone that participated in these discussions. Testimonies from people who experienced harassment or awkward situations, reports about students (notably women) who ended up not learning / using Coq because of its name, were all very important so that the community could fully recognize the impact of the current name and its slang meaning in English, especially with respect to gender-diversity in the Coq community.
yes, easy.
Visually programming shaders and composites works extremely well, though it is important to realize what they don't do.

Anything that needs to be sequential is not done well with nodes as well as branching and looping. Also programs like nuke, houdini etc. are basically limited to one data type (images) or a few data types (images, geometry, 1D channels). Shaders are limited to their primitive data types as well.

The advantages are the ability to see output at every stage, work in real time (including seeing errors in real time), etc.

You also get to see descriptions, limitations and special interfaces for each parameter. Not only that, but parameters can be switched between constants, expressions and arrays (channels) easily for debugging. Overall there is a lot more information going on.

I don't think source control has anything to do with it. Anyone can save more versions of a file and many are text. A lot of times version control is used with text fragments that make up reusable groups of nodes.
My prof (who is French) once jokingly said this was a little prank by the French for the English speaking folks
I sometimes joke that "Coq" was French revenge for the Anglosphere making "bit" a common word in computer science, which sounds like the French equivalent of "cock".

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite

Even without knowing French, you can kind of make out this part:

« Bite » est une expression d'argot désignant vulgairement le pénis.
IMHO classes are a "jack of all trades, master of none". They're sort of like namespaces, a bit like modules, kind of like closures, somewhat like types, almost like first-class functions, etc.

On a somewhat related note, http://www.newspeaklanguage.org uses classes for all kinds of things, including namespaces.
And Sirens that blast sounds that make the person place their hands over their ears. And then the room is filled with soap from a soap machine. Then a nets fall from the ceiling. Then there is a balloon drop. Finally, the room begins to spin at a rotational speed of 60 rpm.

So does this mean that the current war in Afghanistan is a war for lithium?
Help! What do I do wrong:

Some see the move to many-core ATOM servers , as a move to put financial pressure on intel(since ATOMs are cheap).

And this move helps the future of ARM based servers , since ARM is more similar to ATOM than to XEON.
You can already create chords: (5/2.6/3.7/4)
Fortunately, newer detectors can catch this and separate the bombs from the Brazil nuts.

IANANP, but very sensitive germanium semiconductor detectors, and certain scintillation detectors (sodium iodide (NaI), etc.) can be used to determine isotope type at a distance by gamma-ray spectroscopy.

Fissile material (plutonium or uranium in particular) can also be very effectively detected through neutron emission measurements, but this depends on pricey helium-3-based detectors. In these detectors, thermal (low energy) neutrons from radiological material are captured by He3, causing the He3 to split into hydrogen and tritium (H3) and the release of a gamma photon. The gamma photons can then be detected by traditional means, and the photon counts can be related to neutron flux. Flux measurements can then be used to (hopefully) determine the type of neutron source.

n + 3He → 3H + 1H + 0.764 MeV

The problem with He3 detectors is that the gas has a very low natural abundance, and is accordingly expensive. Most of the current He3 stockpile originates from decaying tritium present in nuclear weapons (~5% of the tritium decays to He3 each year). It can also be manufactured by creating tritium in a reactor and waiting for it to decay. Tritium production is expensive though, as the process requires high-neutron flux bombardment of a boron, lithium, or nitrogen target.
"Second, Ayn Rand portrayed a world I wanted to live in, not because I would be rich or powerful in it, but because it consisted of people I wanted to be around."

Funny, I found the people in Atlas Shrugged to be two dimensional bores that didn't talk to each other but gave long rambling speeches.

Nobody in that book acted the way humans acted and for some reason that world had entropy turned up to 11.

The philosophy aside, the book was horrible ordeal full of people that I just wanted to punch in the nuts.
Have you actually gotten a lot of chargebacks? I've heard that the industry significantly exaggerates the amount of chargebacks that actually occur.
A guy called into NPR this morning and said he had a worlds almanac from 1967 with an article about Afghanistan's mineral riches.
One thing to keep in mind vis-a-vis radioactive iodine is that it tends to concentrate in the thyroid, whereas potassium is distributed pretty evenly and excreted quickly.
To cooperate on batteries and cars...

The title would be more helpful if it included that information
Direct democracy doesn't really exist so not sure what you are complaining about.
taxation is a system of rules, and the very wealthy pay people to navigate those rules.

leftists make the mistake of thinking that intent == outcome. "If we tax the rich more, then the government will have more money to spend on social services and the rich will have less money and therefore less power". In reality it doesn't work that way. Adding a new rule changes the game but often not in the way you intend.

Or in other words, leftists tend to make the mistake of relying on reductionist thinking rather than systems thinking.
We are constantly witnessing history.
In a language like C the parser is going to try to parse Expr - Expr but not Expr Expr since there's no such construct in the language to put two expressions after each other.
Realistically, the main reason people use facebook is network effects. They will put up with some amount of bullshit.

But the flipside of that is that if it becomes too bad, then the first people who start leaving weakens the network effects and cause more people to leave, leading to a chain reaction and a swift collapse.

Facebook's incentive is to prevent such a collapse.
I was careful to not say "the poor have it just as good as the rich", because I specifically did not mean to say that. The rich certainly have far more power, opportunity, and resources available to them because economics, but I've noticed a trend to conflate inequality with poverty, or to assume that those with more only have it because they took it from those with less, and both are rooted in the fallacious assumption that wealth is zero-sum.

Greater relative wealth means greater purchasing power of scarce resources. But the production of wealth is a consequence of the production of additional resources, which results in greater accessibility of things that were once solely the domain of the rich. I'm not making a value judgement about wealth inequality here - I'm simply pointing out that the rich becoming richer does not mean the the poor are able to afford less - and in fact often indirectly means that the poor can afford more.
Unfortunately nothing beyond what you find on Google, I guess a lot of the documentation was internal.
I think a common example is any site that requires authentication will need to store some kind of session cookie in the browser. I suspect many news sites have subscriber accounts that you can log in with.

Many subscription news sites might consider the "how many free articles has this visitor viewed this month" to be a strictly necessary cookie, but that's just speculation on my part.
The advantage of ARM fixed length decoder is probably largely irrelevant in laptop/desktop segment. Memory model has probably much bigger effect although that's not exactly clear yet either.

But overall people assign too much weight to ISA, especially in case of M1 and forget other aspects of the CPU design.
Another aspect of this db file per client configuration that is fantastic is the ability to offer data ownership and portability by allowing users to download the database file for themselves. No sql dump or service needed just a signed download url.
Gods, but that sounds brilliant. Having a single toggle for non-essential cookies, even if it's on a site-by-site basis, would be a whole lot better than every website having it's own, different (and often highly dubious) way of handling things.

The cookie debacle has been going on for so long now, and is obviously not going away any time soon - surely there must have been draft RFCs or even W3C proposals along these lines at some point?
The best way to get out of the LinkedIn treadmill is to take control of your own presentation. At Leet Resumes, we write engineering resumes for free (premium hosting services coming this fall): www.leetresumes.com

Use us, or use someone else, or write your own resume and host it on your own personal site. It's better to own your own presentation on the web than rely on a distant, and perhaps not friendly, corporation.
I do my taxes manually entirely on paper and send them in. I don't want H&R Block, Intuit, Taxhawk, or anyone else to have that information that they will then turn around and monitize. I also like the painful yearly reminder of the unnecessary burden the government is placing upon its citizens. For the majority of W2 income earners, the IRS already has everything it needs to compute your taxes and send you a refund or a bill in mid-February.
I believe this is the idea behind the https://fast.com speed test.

It just downloads data from Netflix servers, so the results you get are basically guaranteed to be the speeds you would get with Netflix.
As a childhood lesson you don't need crazy inflation for this to hold true though. Anything that takes more than a few of months to save up to just doesn't make sense as a kid. Your disposable income goes up by factors of ten every few years. You have 2$ to spend at 5, 20$ at 10, 200$ at 15. Then it slows down but you might still get to 2000$ at 25.

Saving as a kid really never seemed worth it to me.

Without consideration, presumably whatever mlock would do to it. So either it would prevent hibernation or those pages would be cleared?
Not everything does anything useful with that setting or even respects it at all, not even everything from MS, not even everything common from MS.

> Why is porn not advertiser friendly? Does anyone see an advertisement near pornstar picture and decide "gross, i'll never buy this product"?

No, but one just has to take a screenshot of exactly that and send it to brands for brands to pressure Instagram and co to drop pornstars. Most brands have very clear policies when it comes to ad space. These are the kind of policies that triggered the "adpocalypse" on YouTube a few years ago, where prominent advertisers dropped YouTube after being made aware (by the main stream press, the irony of this news article), that their products were advertised in the middle of sexually suggestive videos, terrorist videos and what not…

So it's funny the BBC is complaining about individuals reporting content they don't like on Instagram when outlets like the BBC did the exact same thing against YouTube a few years ago.

This won't work for loss leader discount though.
I mean, if you want to undo subtracting something, you add it? The only reason I ever found it confusing is that it was "backwards", but that feels like a forced error due to + requiring a shift while - doesn't.
no. Windows is surprisingly consistent.
I almost did this exact thing. I guess I do regret it but there's no way I would have ever held on to any of it after it hit $1000/ea. Maybe less. It's a lot easier knowing I passed up on a couple hundred thousand dollars and not tens of millions of dollars
I did gig work while homeless.

I didn't "want" a regular job because I couldn't successfully hold one down while coping with a lengthy health crisis.

Among other things, I run r/GigWorks on Reddit to try to foster solutions for other people like me who are willing to work but can't make a "normal" job work for them currently.
You can implement bitemporality on top of a database kernel not explicitly designed to support it but you sacrifice significant performance and scalability. It is a bit like trying to implement a graph database on top of a relational database -- it definitely works, just not well.

Database kernels designed for first-class bitemporality support have low-level internal structures to optimize operations on bitemporal data models not found in typical database kernels. These features are not free if they aren't being used, hence why they are relatively rare in databases that are not explicitly bitemporal.
Websockets on Cloud Run is $$$, from what I saw, so be careful. Basically it keeps the instance on.
Which they are free to do, but how does that entitle them to an ownership stake?
> In the early-80s, the Yen-to-dollar ratio was really high. This kicked off an inflationary asset bubble within the country that lasted for several years.

I believe this is commonly referred to in geopolitics as the Plaza Accord.
This kind of thing is allowed according to the FAQs. I think the links are just additional reading.
Grandma doesn't care about the year of Linux on the Desktop either because she probably just uses a macbook to manage the server farms that are running on Linux and won't need to hibernate.
Yes, I'll wait to hear as well, but otherwise plan to move to Brex. Had a great experience with them in my first startup.
