Assuming that you're being sarcastic, your logic is great as long as people who share our beliefs and convictions own and control important platforms. What if something like parler were to gain dominance instead and they start censoring? That said I believe in private property and FB, Google, and Twitter have every right to do what they want on their respective platforms. If people don't like it, then market forces will create alternatives.
They might need a few more tweaks https://ibb.co/0YNWNxh
I know your joking but it's been dead for more than 30 years :) Only the antenna remains (and the only one still standing was the receiver, not the transmitter).

Though people have hooked up amateur radio equipment to it AFAIK.
But it is

There are several algorithms that calculate the causal structure from correlations: PC, GES, FGS, FCI

They are proven to be asymptotically correct
Damn; I finally joined Simple last year. Has anybody had experience with Varo Bank? That's the closest alternative I could find. What else do you all recommend? I've looked at Varo, Vio, HmBradley, and Discover.
So it's using Trident and Chakra, the same document engine and JS engine as IE. It's also Windows-only (?).

I don't see how this is a new lightweight browser. It looks like a new skin on the old one with a PR push to back it up.
On a mostly unrelated note, I installed rapportive and discovered that someone had signed up for a social network with my e-mail address that wasn't me. So I had the site send me a new password and deleted the account. Why do people do that?
I imagine[0] that someday most companies will recognize the two tier market formally. Expert programmers would work in Lisp, ML or other Languages of Choice and create DSLs for the 9-5ers to use to write up all the boring details the business needs.

[0] Feel free to replace this with hope if you feel I'm overly optimistic.
Honestly, why go to the effort? With 2 massive competing phone platforms that are implemented sanely, this time it is entirely up to Microsoft to fix any...inconsistencies. They are the underdog, and they don't deserve to have the whole industry bend over and twist their apps just so that a fledgling phone platform is more useful.
I am looking for someone like you that can lead to more or open more doors if you have the experience. I am startup entrepreneur looking for a quality programmer to freelance as project manager for two weeks. Requires a small amount of time but not much pay at this time. May lead to more and maybe vested in the company if right fit.
About the only thing that I can think of is that porn is a highly competitive and crowded industry. Unless you've got some "secret sauce" that is extremely hard to replicate, I wouldn't even consider it.

I'd be hard pressed to believe that a group of 8 year olds would congregate at the playground and say 'hey, this homework assignment we had last week, what journal could we submit this to?'.
Will this greatest flaw of our time go on forever? What could be the solution? I think world would be a much better place without software patents.
The reaction of her dogs to having to wear booties to protect floors reminds me of the way our cats react to having to wear harnesses so I can take them out for a walk :-)
Great tip, I didn't know about this trick and had always just used incognito to do this.
> we need to do something

Do something about what?

Lots of discarded projects on Github? Too many people working with Javascript? Fast iteration? Lowering barriers to entry?

Those all sound like good (or at least neutral) things to me. I've clearly missed the point of this post.
I've been with almost all UK phone companies (I used to buy a new iPhone each year for dev reasons but run simultaneous 2 year contracts meaning I had to be with two phone companies at a time) and they are all terrible.
I love how he is building his own SQL string and then blaming Perl's DBI->quote for any vulnerabilities that arise. Anyone who writes SQL like that is writing bad code from the offset (regardless of the programming language nor it's DB/web frameworks). Parametrised queries and ORMs exist to prevent the kind of SQL injection attacks he's demonstrating and Perl's various DBD modules already support parametrised queries (in fact most Perl DBI guides will walk you through using them!).

This is pretty much "working with databases 101" and if he can't get even that much right then he should not be stood in front of people lecturing about the evils of any language nor it's framework.

Sadly though, these days proper security research is less important than looking cool in front of a small crowd. After all, who needs to have any knowledge about your subject if you can curse a little and display a few slides of some tired old internet memes. :/﻿

This reminds me of the First Latitudinarian Church of Celebrity Saints, from John Varley's Steel Beach. Their temple features glass tubes in the rounded-rectangle of classic CRTs.
I don't see a reason why Clojure couldn't achieve the same startup time? I am trying to avoid the JVM startup time itself so that leaves out Scala/Clojure.

I'd like to be able to have a fast startup time when, say, running a script with its containerized environnement, when it is done the container exits, so I can't leave a vm running.

So I believe that leaves out JVM languages.

Independently from that, I did try Scala before Clojure and found its grammar to be overkill and unintuitive so it wouldn't be my first choice.

I'd expand on #9.

It's generally faster and more readable to use an idiomatic Python iteration than to use indexing inside the loop. The difference was small over 5 elements, but `enumerate(a)` will become dramatically faster than `range(len(a))` if you have a large list. A better comparison would be `enumerate` vs `xrange`.
Specifically, what types of things do you look out for?
In theory, if multiple snapshots of truecrypt are maintained, I believe it must be secure, but did the designers of truecrypt keep that in mind? Does dropbox maintain periodic snapshots of uploaded files?
Not surprising at all. Expected actually.
What's facebook take on memcached? Are they happy with it?
A fitting username you have.
Any chance you're willing to make some more-public comments regarding this?
I'm not sure anyone has ever pointed this out to you (sorry if they haven't) but it's pretty difficult for a web design business to scale profit growth like a software business.

Web design is service based, so your profits and costs increase linearly.

OTOH, a single piece of software can be sold multiple times, so the profits don't have the same relationship to costs.

I don't think that makes your business mediocre - just a different kind of business.
Did that really happen after Hiroshima? How did the U.S. Nuclear arsenal get built?
You are right, the sleep functions apply only to “this_thread”. What confused me is the comment for the two functions, which refer to the thread as “t” and not “this_thread”; which also matches the naming used for the “is_joinable” function, where it is not the current thread.

So I thought it’s a way to do back pressure across threads, which could be useful, but I was clearly wrong. My bad, but also not a great choice of naming things in the original article.

Then again, if you can only put the current thread to sleep, why have a function for it? Why not call sleep directly?
We do use some helm charts for the bigger things, gitlab runners, istio, thanos, prometheus, argo, etc. Some of those are run as directly from helm but many are being converted to use the terraform helm provider.

Our initial rollout on kubernetes had me writing about 30 helm charts for internal services. Once we saw helms shortcomings then they were converted to terraform. It was easy if you:

- helm template > main.yaml
- use k2tf (https://github.com/sl1pm4t/k2tf)
- some manual cleanup for inputs and such.

So now all of our product is terraformed, each as a module deployed to a namespace as an entire stack.
Come now, you can't tell me that you've gone to use $PRODUCT_NAME, only to realize that it's out/almost out. We all forget to replenish our stock once in a while.

This seems like a great product for the post-college individual, living away on their own for the first time (i.e. me). Heck, I know already that I'm low on detergent, yet I keep forgetting to go to the store to pick up more. Obviously that's my fault, but being able to LITERALLY press a button and have what I need appear at my doorstep is pretty sweet.

Though, I'm still not totally convinced that this isn't an April Fool's joke that's a day early...
Hooks are implicitly injecting whatever global state in your stateless components, so definitely not a good example of functional concepts imho.
Most people don't have 2 computers. Also, most people that do have two computers don't know how/don't want to know how to log into their desktop remotely.
I'm assuming they're looking for web developers - in this context full-stack means someone who's perfectly comfortable with all technologies involved in a web app, from front-end (CSS, JavaScript), to backend (Ruby on Rails, PHP, etc.), to database work, and anything else that might come up (designing for scalability, working with EC2, etc.)
I like this! I've been thinking for a while that laws should be writter by game theorists, but I see that designers can be involved too.
>Copy/Paste actually works in OS X. This is huge.

True, but I wish selecting an extent of text copied it to the clipboard like it does with many Linux apps without the need for Command-C.

"Professor Rasmusen, an economist who has argued that gay men should not be teachers, referred to women as “the weaker sex” and said colleges have lower standards for accepting black students than white students."

Selective colleges generally do have lower standards for accepting black students, justifying this in the name of diversity. Rasmusen's "weaker sex" statement in full is this:

"We should also think about the duty of the strong to protect the weak rather than look the other way when they hear rumors. Men have not protected the weaker sex as they should have, and this is part of a general decline in our feelings of duty towards women."

Rasmusen's site where he defends his comments is http://www.rasmusen.org/special/2019kerfuffle/provost.htm .
I was in OP's shoes exactly one year ago. What you wrote above is beautiful and true. Not sure where in Europe he lives but I lived in a northern State of the US. Winners have always been tough, my family and I took a leap and moved 1000 miles south a few months ago. This is the best mental "winter" I ever recall having. As said above, OP your thoughts aren't logical. I had social thoughts last year. I tried making sense of why I was having them. I couldn't. Because they're reasonable. I had/have a good paying job, marriage, family, house, etc. But I was miserable and unwell. You're ill. Find a way to take time off, heal, and then change whatever it is that you think it identify as causing the stress and anxiety. Anyone can reach out to me. www.thisismystoryjesusismysong.com
> Sadly, English mythology is now much less well known than Roman, so most people aren’t even aware of these etymologies

In my experience most people aren’t even aware of any etymologies. Or even the word itself.
I was also wondering recently why illiteracy carries social stigma, while innumeracy does not. The article asserts everyone just considers math ability to be innate, but I'm not sure this is a good explanation.

Our daily life seems to rely on literacy much more than it relies on numeracy. You can only know how to add and subtract (mostly money) and you will still function all right in your daily life and a great variety of jobs. Not so much if you have difficulty reading. This seems to be slowly changing in the future, but if you consider the learning curve, mathematics has a much steeper one compared to reading and writing well.

Does anyone have a better explanation?
This is the point made in the SO answer I quoted, and this was the official position of the rfc2616[1], but as I said in my second edit, this rule was relaxed in the new version of the specification: rfc7231 published in 2014.

People need to be protected from themselves sometimes. Just because someone is an adult, doesn’t mean they will always make correct decisions. Plus, you are never sure if they are doing it without being coerced and silenced at the same time by some powerful mafia.

Absolutely agree on this. Managers should have an engineering background. Managers and Technical Leads should be chosen from those who are bored with the engineering aspect (eg programming, designing, implementing) and want to focus on bigger challenges like leading a technical project.

Managers who only manage people have no clue about what it takes to think technically, so they tend just to apply their human management techniques to a technical AND human problem. Engineers can become managers, but manager only people cannot become engineers during the course of leading a project.
> Can you explain why you'd feel odd if a company bought the birthday gift rather than the boss buying it?

Honestly I cannot.

It is just not the "done thing." People buy people presents on their birthday because they care. Companies give out Christmas bonus as almost part of your pay (almost), a company cannot "care" so giving you a birthday gift (which will likely be automated by a HR e-mail anyway) just seems awkward, like: "here is your autonomously generated birthday present."
There are only two people living my house. I know what my wife watches well enough to know that she hasn't watched every season of American Horror Story and all of season 1 of Friends. Netflix also shows you what devices streamed video, and I see devices in Germany and around the US which are not mine.
I know of a large Python 1.6 code base still in constant use. I don't think this is unique to 'major breaking updates' or Python 3. Hell, there are codebases still in Fortran 77 doing key work.

And why would you need to fork Python 3 to support Python 2 codebases?
The speech recognition and synthesis are primitive compared to any smartphone assistant these days. The natural language processing is about equivalent to SHRDLU from the 1960s [1]. It turns out that this approach based on manually constructing syntax trees and applying simple logic can make some fun demos but is ultimately a dead end in terms of making systems that are actually useful, as was discovered in the "AI winter".

The part that controls Mario looks similar (if not identical) to this: http://aigamedev.com/open/interviews/mario-ai/

If you want to see the state of the art in using AI to play video games, look no further than "Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning" [2], where a single general AI system learns to play many different games. The generality is what makes it impressive. Its only inputs are pixels and score, and its only outputs are joystick and button state, just like a human player. This makes it unlike these Mario systems which are hand programmed very specifically for Mario, and use special instrumentation of the game state that skips pixels entirely.

Just giving out cash isn't going to fix the problem. It is however one required part of the solution to prevent the situation from spiraling as hard as it otherwise would.

The crux of the issue is that economic activity is severely hampered due to the paralyzing fear of the coronavirus. Even if the government pays out benefits as though everyone remained employed as they were a few months ago, that's not truly economically productive activity. It's an economically-neutral but socially-positive action.

Economic value is generated when people exchange goods (in a better example to reflect modern life, money for goods and vice versa) such that every party is better off. Shuttered businesses prevent this value generation. I live in NYC and most non-food/beverage stores are closed.
It's not JUST google and apple, I'm sure they have enough cash and expertise and will to create enough momentum to attract more domain experts in other areas. Especially once google brain and deepmind start working on things more complex than stacking layers, which is happening now.

In particular, do you have another example aside from DifferentialEquations.jl ?

Neural ODEs are hot enough that something like that could easily pop up in swift.

ITensors is interesting, but that's only one.
That's funny, I found HZD a bit too easy on the normal difficulty. There were a few boss fights that where difficult, but not impossibly so.

I think maybe this depends on your play style – I most often went for the strategy of divide and conquer, lure individual machines away from the pack and get them one by one from a distance, usually with a combination of hard point arrows and tear blast arrows to get rid of their most lethal weapons. Whenever I went for using the staff to kill a machine it was too hard, unless it was one of the smaller ones. Also, making use of different ammo to target weaknesses in the machines proved quite effective, and after a little while you just intuitively know which kinda of ammo works against which machines.

Hope you give it another go, I think the story really is worth it!

Edit: definitely second your feelings on RDR2. First rockstar game that had me hooked from start to finish, such a great story. I never played the first one, and I'm a little hesitant to try it because of how great and beautiful RDR2 is, and how well it plays, and I fear playing the previous game will feel too dated in comparison, regardless of how good the story seems to be.
My dad died from multiple strokes this Feb. When he was transported to another hospital for a brain surgery he was intubated. A couple of days later, the ICU doctor came and told us to prepare to fulfill his wishes. They said to have him intubated again would cause a great pain for him. Also, chest compress would be lots of pain. We did let my dad go in peace.

Here I am, wondering if people know what it feels like to be intubated? It is not something you can do off and on when you feel like it. There was a team of anesthesiologists there to seduce my dad when they shoved the tube in his wind pipe.
The acoup blog just did a piece on chemical weapons and their dis/use in modern times. Part of that analysis was a dive into Modern v. Static armies.

Static armies are what Saddam, Assad, and the Iranians have. Though their weapons are pretty up to date, they still get squished when fighting Modern armies like the US or France. That is because their 'doctrine' is Static, mostly to be coup-proof. In Static Armies, you don't give field commanders a lot of lee-way or control. You send orders, they execute. They don't get to play jazz. This is due to regime issues that don't translate into up to date warfare.

In Modern armies, you have terribly expensive weapons too. But the training is what makes it really work. You have to train field commanders to play jazz and improvise. It's a constant blitzkrieg of movement and mechanized/digitized warfare. There is no sitting around. That takes training people to think for themselves; a big no-no in regimes.

The US is the example of a modern force, complete with fancy gadgets and fancy training.

We should expect that NYNG could get eight field hospitals going in hours. That is the entire basis of our military, to move really fast and get things done. Imperfectly? Oh hell yes. But fast is the entire name of the game.

> Italy got the growth rate down to 15% per day. That's still enough to hit the whole population by early May.

We won't know the lockdown's effect until all the severe cases from people who got sick pre-lockdown have shown up at the hospital. That will be in the next few days. If the number of new reported cases starts to drop from day to day, we'll know they succeeded.

If not...
For hiking I really like Harvey's British Mountain Maps. The 1:40,000 scale gives usefully more detail than the OS Ranger maps but not as unwieldy as the Explorer maps. They're printed on vinyl so waterproof but much lighter weight than the laminated OS maps.

> "I don't believe this one. Japanese might wear masks but not all of them wear masks and they are not N95 masks."

This is a very western belief. Why do we continue to think that asians wearing masks are stupid?

Most importantly, say masks prevent 50% of transmission, and the majority of transmission is via the air (highly plausible), then that would mean drastically less transmission.

Even an N20 mask that reduces risk by 20% would make a huge difference to a population.

It is my prediction that masks are the single most effective means of dealing with the virus at present. Japan’s low infection rates are because they wear masks.

Wearing a bandanna over your mouth and nose just makes sense.
This is the point worth talking.

I'd say that even overt corruption is not necessarily a white or black determinator on the overall health of the institute of government.

South Korea is not only known for "Samsung bribing *," but also countless successful cases of corruption prosecution, including 2 Samsung CEOs in a row going to real jail.

In overall, a health on the very top of society stems from strength at the bottom.
Aquaponics is a great solution to the problem of lack of farmable soil and water shortages. It uses only 10% of the water for the same yield. It also grows faster, is more nutrient rich, and can be done pretty much anywhere you can store water.
I have a friend who passed away earlier this year. I found out on Facebook, as there was a sudden influx of people commenting on his wall about his passing.

8 months later, the account is still active. Facebook will occasionally tell me that I should reconnect with him, which frankly is a bit creepy.

The worst part, however, is that his mom still posts messages on his wall as if he can read them. I find this equal parts creepy and sad.
jQuery and CakePHP have been very helpful in the past.
