yes that means we can see and hear the situation.

if people cant see smoke and mirrors right in front of them, thats unfortunate, without media coverage those who can see what is happening wouldnt see the problem developing, it would just suddenly show up on your doorstep
Having worked on a designer to create and share templates for Würfelmosaik, which is a physical game for kindergarten kids where they have to lay patterns with wooden cubes that have different colors and patterns on each side.

Currently only available in German, but it should be pretty much self-explanatory.

That looks amazing! Best of luck.
The same could be said for other primes like 13 and 19, though.
Most urban fantasy isn't very good (at least what I've read so far: Justine Musk, Mike Carey, some others). But if you get a chance, read Lev Grossman's The Magicians: http://jseliger.com/2009/08/28/the-magicians-lev-grossman . Although it's more straight-up fantasy than urban fantasy, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is also excellent.
The UI is nice - but the slider doesn't need two ends, just the max end. It's also hard to dial in numbers <$1000 because of the range of the slider. Some +/- buttons would fix that up, or an old-fashioned text field.
I think the point should be even more general:

"Everybody thinking they are a typographer is the new lens flare."

Large sans-serif fonts, glowing text, embossed text, shadows, low contrast, neon backgrounds and margins 10 pixels wide at most. This is the new face of personal websites and blogs.

I was going to jest "the pursuit of happiness!".

Then, a little investigation proved that it is, ironically, also in the declaration of indipendence Ho Chi Min wrote for the democratic republic of vietnam.
Well, I'm OT but I felt it was interesting to share this :)
EdgeCast CDN offers dynamic gzipping. You can also force a cache miss/refresh by altering the query string, which is really helpful if you are changing content. They are a bit more expensive though (about 25% more). I also had to go through a sales/marketing person to get a trial, which is a shame because their product was actually better than CloudFront, but I almost didn't try it out because I hate going through sales people.
This reminds me of an Idea I never got working. I want to set up a cron job to disable my internet from 7pm - 7am would any one be willing to help?

This sounds more like the future than having to get an expensive computer and setup a whole environment on it.

yes. right.
This is a pandemic. Across country and state lines.

Any response that is not federal is going to struggle.

The buck stops solely at the white house and congress for failing to see the warning signs and properly respond.
Here's the answer to that question, from the second paragraph of the linked article:

From what I heard, the one they work on are more of a pure VR goggles, without AR component besides basic depth perception, and transparency.

They started testing in mass the last couple of days, so you see the spike...
New York state has been increasing testing pretty rapidly. A few days ago they were at 10,000 a day.
I very much admire Gov Cuomo - he is perfectly straight forward in his approach, putting aside partisanship and truly care about his state and the New York City. I encourage everyone to watch his updates to see for yourself. We need more leaders like him. In his presentation, he is telling how to run the Federal goverment and recommendations - which just illustrates the competance of the executive branch of the US Govt. Same thing with Gov Newsom of California.

Yes - the Higgs interaction. That's the fifth fundamental force, carried out by the Higgs boson.
I've done this by following a small amount of people and being extremely judicious in adding new ones (and quick to remove them: there are a couple writers I enjoy that do nothing but shitpost about politics on Twitter). I will say that my approach has the downside of being very low-volume though
I think this is a uniquely western / American dilemma. I recently had an older relative decide to not proceed with treatment for stage four pancreatic cancer and my family’s response was almost of shame and aghast.

It’s still odd to me that my parents were almost offended when I signed forms that indicates I did not want to be on life support if I’m brain dead or forcibly resuscitated if I arrived at a hospital “dead”.

As someone who continues to fight depression, I don’t understand why others feel their opninions should have weight when it comes to someone else’s decision to live or not continue to live.
I do this personally and it's great. I've even set this up for extended family. But any real solutions to the problem will not be technological, they will have to be legislative...

The right way to do this is set up a VLAN that can't get out to the Internet and is segregated from your own devices except via inbound connections from a Firewall. I've done this with cheap Chinese IP Cams and much other IOT garbage that has either been reverse engineered and/or presents some form of local network access.
> Many humans. Rich life (individual freedoms and high material quality of life). Low environmental impact. Pick two.

I really don't buy this, it seems illogical to me.

We have technologies that can produce a rich and comfortable life with much less or zero emissions, nuclear, renewables. We don't need to fuck stuff up as bad as we have. We've fucked stuff up this bad because of lobbying, resources companies have lobbied and fought long and hard to keep selling this poison to the world. To keep us buying cars that use petroleum. To keep people believing that it's either oil and coal or you're going back to the stone age it's bull shit because oil and coal is the stone age.

If you buy into those technologies I've mentioned above, you don't really have to entirely give up the life you know, in fact you might get to keep the life you love and have cleaner, better air to breathe.

We've woken up, but we still have those cretins doing their dirty work (the Australian Government for example.

We've woken up but it might be too late now.
IIRC mescaline or peyote (maybe they're the same? I don't know) is nowadays legally protected under religious laws, but iirc there's a lot of caveats around it (region, tribe, etc).

Damn, this is heartbreaking...lightform is incredible, it's mindblowing how much damage the kung-flu did to the industry.
To be fair none of these are such big of a thing around here. Businesses have a website and Google maps, can't remember the last time something linked me to Facebook.

Events being not on Facebook is getting common again because it doesn't make sense to host events in a platform that more than 50% of people in some age groups simply refuse to use.

Not sure about ads, personally I only wasted money on Facebook. I am getting better ad results, with less fishy clicks, everywhere else. (I stopped using FB ads when they started to send traffic from countries I did not order but counted them.)

From my understanding the dependency on Facebook here in central Europe is way less than in some other places.

An indictment of what passes for education in the country, if nothing else. However, I wasn't restricting my judgement of bad leadership to the U.S.; look at the brutality of early Rome, kings throughout history, leaders of the "people" like Mao and the Khmer Rouge, or present-day plutonium-assassinator kleptocrat Putin. People, in general, grant power to the lowest of humanity.
Until Facebook commits to launching a non-mobile consumer version, then the DK2 and CV1 don't matter, except as dev milestones. I'm not convinced that Facebook is willing to settle for developing a "mere" gaming machine, which is what DK2/CV1 are. They seem to want to make it something more. And that could backfire badly, unless they deliver some very compelling experience.
PSA

If you're running AWS, I highly recommend for all developers and sysadmin to attend AWS free training[0][1]. While you're at it might as well get yourself certified[2].

You might have senior expertise with system operation and application deployment but sometimes, AWS approach things differently. The essence of the training is to always implement best practices, not just solving problem.

Also use the opportunity of AWS event to network with their Solution Architect. Trust me on this one. This worth more than AWS Enterprise Support.

What? Mobile hasn't hijacked Oculus development. They are still working on more "normal" headsets. The DK2 is now widely available and the CV1 is still the first big target. The demos they've been showing to wow and awe show beefy demos on beefy PC hardware.

I think I know why you're confused. Carmack has personally been focused 100% on mobile. So all the interviews with him are mobile mobile mobile. But they have a lot of people working on a lot of things. Mobile is one of several pieces to the puzzle.
it seems to work great :D At the same time, this doesn't seem to work with Hackintosh Mac, since they may use different driver, headphone not detected.

I thought this sounded familiar, so I did some searching... here's pretty much exactly that:

This sounds like substantial benefit?
I was taken by the idea that when anyone can broadly copy anyone else, the details become more important.

Without copy-protection companies would take the time to get the details right rather than protect their IP and sit on their laurels.

We would get fewer big leaps but a lot more iteration. Drug companies would be constantly trying to release products that are 1 or 2% better than the last one.

I suspect that this would work in society's favour.
A few years ago when I was about to board a flight to London from Boston, I was grabbed by the arm by a plains-clothed security type immediately before the airline scanned my boarding pass at the jetway.

He flashed his badge and I was pulled to one side, and he asked if his partner could look through my carry on. As she did this, he asked me about where I had been eating in Boston. He asked many, many questions about Santarpio's, saying he'd never heard of it, asking what they sold, etc.

Given that Santarpio's is immediately next to the airport and sells amazing pizza, it's extremely unlikely that someone who worked at Logan was unfamiliar with it.

At this point, the lady looking at my bag said "he's clean" or similar, the first guy lost all interest in Santarpio's, and they put me back in to the front of the queue.
Gut renovating old single family homes is a lot more difficult than demolishing them to build small, newer multi family (think a 2 story quadplex). There was plenty of the former happening throughout the Bay Area, and the latter was largely illegal.
Computers in the 80's lacked HAL. But they, typically, got it in the 90's. I wonder, why the F35 is missing it. Or is this different?
At this point the WWII dogfight between planes is dead. Missiles have more than enough power an maneuverability to take down any plane their are pointed at. There are ways to deal with missiles, but none are maneuvers by the target. You can maybe out fly a missile, but that is because it was launched at close to maximum range and so you get out of range.

Drones are a different story. The future is pilots on a different continent from the actual fight. They will sometimes take the controls, sometimes push the "do this maneuver" button, and sometimes let the AI take care of it. As AI get better and better their role becomes more as the final human in the loop agreeing to kill an identified target. There are still gaps in making this work in the real world, but the signs are all there. Without a human in the plane you can do things that would kill the human.
I know gimp reasonably well. Take those flat icons, they made it impossible to find anything. I installed it on a friends computer and now half the icons were missing. I was looking for new versions of icons unsure what they look like and unsure if they are even there. I try resize though the menu but it's different from the resize tool? There is no preview.

In stead of explaining the application in 30 min I spend 30 min looking like an idiot. I accidentally detach a tool from the gui then was unable to get it back in. haha Questions like "how do I draw a box?"

There are countless little weird things you have to get used to. Like, why is configure grid in the "image" menu? Why not put it under grid under "view"? I keep forgetting where it is.

I do UI with simple questions like: Is the grid part of viewing or part of the image?
The state laws tend to not only make using a dealership mandatory, but make it nigh impossible to sever the relationship once established.

That's why so many horrible dealerships are allowed to continue operating.
While we're all linking to our favorite alt, don't forget blur from abine.com. It's a browser extension that adds a "mask my email" button when you select an email field, and forwards those emails to you. Each forwarded email has a link at the top that allows you to turn off that address forever. Also does password generation and other cool stuff.
In the narrowest sense your sentence is correct. Perhaps you mean that you think this can be expected on any computing hardware, which is far from correct. If all you've ever used has been public cloud services you can be forgiven for having this misconception.
They won't ban that violence. How else can use terrorism to scare people into supporting whatever it is you want them to support?
Didn't The Sun just decide to stop printing topless women on page 3? I thought I heard they were replacing them with regular old scantily clad women or something.
I do agree with you that with sequential testing it is possible to get much slower results. This is actually similar to using a sample size calculator for a classical t-test. If you set your minimum detectible effect (MDE) much smaller than the actual effect size of your A/B test, you will end up waiting for many more visitors than were needed to detect significance. We have looked at many historical A/B tests at Optimizely to determine the range of effect sizes which give the most efficiency for our customers. In fact, we didn’t put out Stats Engine sooner because we wanted to be confident that the speed was comparable to the usual, fixed horizon, t-test. This tuning will be part of an ongoing process to customize results at the customer level.

Second, I want to point out that Stats Engine is not a Bayesian test. We do not recompute a posterior from past information after every visitor and use this directly to get significance. Instead such calculations are used as inputs to determine how much information we have compared to a situation of zero effect size. There’s only ‘one lense’ still because we use all this to make and guarantee the usual Frequentist hypothesis testing statements, but now factoring in that an experimenter can look at results at any time.
GlimmerBlocker works the same as Privoxy, only offering support for HTTP.
Well maybe the fact that I am choosing cool people to interview means I follow what they are doing. Can you be constructive and tell me where do you draw your conclusion from?
Keep in mind that I am interviewing for a wide variety of audience, and that I can't all of a sudden ask about technical details of using Arrows for parsers. If you get some bits of interest out of the interview then this means that I did my job well, since you are not my only target audience.

I guess I better off doing these interviews since all what I get from it is these arrogant destructive comments.
Thank you

What about the Institute Screw Contest: http://www.mit.edu/~apo/big-screw/ ?

Note that while participants/targets have to agree to be in it, it is generally rewarded for poor preformance of one sort or another, e.g.:

1989 Gerald Sussman: for a really bad 6.002 term he taught.

1985 Shirley M. McBay: amazingly bad Dean for Student affairs.

1971 Ken Browning: Also a legendary Dean for Student affairs; a parody issue of the student newspaper was entirely dedicated to him. Although I don't know if he was indeed really bad, my only solid first hand info is from a member of a failing residential fraternity chapter.

I’m not sure you should put beta software on such lists, either, but the analysis seems very superficial, even after reading it again. Fitt’s law is important but he seems to be barking up the wrong tree. Small buttons are not at all uncommon on the Mac. It’s not an iOS thing.

Safari’s default toolbar buttons (Back, Add Bookmark, …) have actually a smaller clickable area than Reeder’s buttons (about 800 square pixels vs. about 1300 square pixels) and if you overshoot the utterly unimportant Back button your mouse is right above the Close button. Depending on the size of the text label, Mail’s and Preview’s default toolbar buttons have about the same area as Reeder’s. OS X relic TextEdit has just as small toolbar buttons as Safari.

The minimum size for standard toolbar buttons on OS X is about 800 square pixels, the maximum (and default) is about 1800 square pixels. Reeder falls somewhere between those two and is certainly not some weird outlier because of that, if only because so many apps for the Mac, whether they are from Apple or other developers, have had the smallest toolbar buttons (smaller than Reeder’s default buttons) as a default for a long time.

I’m not saying that small buttons are a good idea, I don’t know that. All I’m saying that picking out Reeder and identifying iOS as the culprit seems misguided.
A clutter-free interface for Google was a big win for me. Yahoo had become a bloated mess by that point.
I agree with people with service dogs should be picked up and blind people.

But my thoughts drifted to what if a driver without allergies picked up a passenger with a service dog, that driver would then presumably need to spend time vacuuming the car such that another passenger with allergies isn't also impacted?
Oracle ate a bunch of their market by going after the BI ecosystem at large and using those apps to sneak in their DB. So SAP decided they'd do the same "downstack" and eat some of the Oracle db revenue. Hence the push for HANA.
> It fries your dopamine receptors, this is drugs 101.

Funny you should say that, as there is much research to say that ADHD is primarily a resistance to dopamine and serotonin. See: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolutionary-psychia...

This is how Ritalin works, by slowing down the reputable of dopamine.

So, imagine the state of anhedonia you’re familiar with from long-term drug abuse - then imagine that is your base state.
This would be the perfect use-case-scenario for video stabilization.
But that would fall under the relatively short term category of market vacancies from the article. Most people who talk about the issue with vacancies seem to be referring to 6+ month vacancies where a landlord is not even looking for tenants.
My idea for the now defunct Fry's is to build a computer museum with junk throughout the decades.
>- Maybe they want to move into it later.

Then they should lease it meanwhile or pay the tax, it's rare for people to buy houses fully finished, say, a year in advance.

>- Maybe they haven't found a suitable tenant yet.

They can lower the price to find a suitable tenant faster.

>- Maybe they are holding it open for a friend or family member.

Then that friend or family can move there officially while still occupying their current dwelling until the grace period expires again.

>- Maybe they want to do some renovations before renting it out.

These laws in practice have an exemption for rénovations.

>- Maybe they want to sell the property and it's easier to sell without an existing tenant.

Then they should price it as to sell within the grace period, or pay the tax.
I can't imagine a time where factory accident would be less inconvenient.
I never thought I'd say it but Google paying up to $4 or 5b for Twitter kind of makes sense.

Google badly wants a "social media" win.

Twitter, for better or for worse, is the cheapest household brand name of social media.

I've personally found much value from searching archived Tweets via twitter & google which suggests that Google could monetize that asset, as they've done with YouTube, and turn this into a huge win since selling ads is such a core competency.

On the other hand, Google's biggest aquisition win - YouTube - they got for a relative "steal" at ~$1.65b in an ALL stock transaction, which you know isn't going to happen with Twitter.
