This isn't much unlike livestreaming on Twitch. It's a novelty and if you want to do it you want. People livestream themselves doing weird stuff all the time.
perhaps an investment in a mobile unit so there is no renovation and minimal install costs. hook up electricity and water supply and dump the drain water at a treatment facility as grey water. move the unit[s] to an area where demand exists, option is there to pack it up in the winter, or during a low use period.
What a depressing attitude. Just because something is common doesn't mean it's acceptable.
Naturally, Cortana will be integrated into Project Spartan

I've tried coding with alcohol and marijuana.

I find a little bit of alcohol provides a little liquid courage to start writing a big, scary system from scratch without harming my ability. For reference, I weigh about 170lb and very rarely drink, so about a drink and a half is about the right amount. More alcohol than that, and it's a net loss. Lotta bugs, and I get sleepy.

For really dull, boring coding work that I'm not looking forward to (usually refactoring code or working on a decidedly unsexy part of the codebase that needs attention), a couple of gentleman's corners is a great way to make it easier and find my blue collar groove. For creative work (I make video games), a lightly packed but full bong rip can be great for design and story ideas, but in both of these cases, it needs to be a good Sativa strain that gives me a thinky high, and not a sleepy body high. I smoke regularly to manage depression and anxiety, which can interfere badly with coding, so while it's definitely a sub-optimal way to write challenging code, I'm still a functional coder after smoking. It beats navel-gazing/misery.
Some of the discussions he links to in the article are disturbing. Many posts refusing to implement process because they don't want any process at all. Doesn't seem like a healthy approach.
Hence the eternal philosophical problem with thought experiments (or "intuition pumps" as some people call them)--different people have different intuitions so maybe your thought experiment won't even make sense to them :)
I guess you're probably happier not knowing about the David Lynch film, then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28film%29
Maybe I missed something, but how exactly is this transmitted to Earth, and how efficient is the transmission?
Yes, way to buck the system and advocate neoliberal ideas from political outsiders like Reagan, Thatcher, Bush, Clinton, Blair, W & Obama.
Both Node.js and Tornado seem to have scaled for real-time-web stuff in the past:

I think I'd try Tornado first myself because of Python's error tracebacks. In my opinion they make debugging significantly easier.

Is there any other software in this space?

Doesn't it actually (within any closed system) do that exact opposite of that, by the second law of thermodynamics?
Buying drinks is a friendship signal, not a mating signal.

Not really. Do you buy drinks for your friends? Of course you do! But do you buy drinks for strangers in bars because you're interested in becoming their friend? No, that would be weird.

Why would it be weird? Because buying drinks is widely recognized as a sexual come-on. It's just not a very good one. It's not very good because it's a signal of the form "I am sufficiently desperate for company that I am willing to bribe you just to talk to me".

Anyway, it's a bad idea for all sorts of reasons, but "friendship signal" is not, I think, a good description.
This is a really detailed account of the kind of advancement that multi-touch tablets can make in domain specific applications. Why are people rolling around computers on carts to perform simple interactions with web apps? I can't think of a better use case.

This word has gained hurtful and harmful connotations. Usually you can wait long enough and cycle them back in, but increased access to old books and – now – the internet has given us longer cultural memories, so it might never lose its slur connotations.
Another year and another Delphi post.

Started with Delphi 2, the productivity benefits vs VB were amazing. Plus managing code and having a usable object based language.

I went from nothing to a PLC(programmable logic controller) to database manufacturing floor delivery system in 3 weeks for my first app. Amazing productivity.

Cut to now, I have a custom MES/ERP app written in D7 I still support or for 3 sites. 20 years old.

Every couple of weeks I have to boot up the VM and do a few things.
std::thread are already joinable (and that's their default state), and jthreads can be detached.

The one difference between std::thread and jthread is that std::thread terminates on destruction, while jthread joins. That could easily be a ctor parameter (as well as "detach on destruction" as a third option).
There is zero reason for this to exist.
The authors say that they cut the data out for "aesthetic" reasons. Personally, I don't buy it. They claimed a groundbreaking result, that obviously doesn't hold for the "ugly" data. It's possible that they deluded themselves, but from where I sit, that just counts as two more victims of fraud.
FWIW Canada did the same thing and our federal gov't is paying the same political price.

Trump reserved the US manufactured supply for themselves, only, so Canada is reliant on EU exports, which is kind of crazy to think about, geographically.

My understanding is many Canadian officials were caught off guard by the fact that the vaccine became available Q1 2021, they were thinking Q2/Q3 2021 was more likely and so much of the purchase deals were geared around that.
If you are generating electricity where it cannot be used, then you are causing needless environmental damage and you should almost certainly stop doing that.
Unfortunately, we know for sure that it was not just a poorly researched article. From Scott Aaronson[0]:

> I spent many hours with Cade, taking his calls and emails morning or night, at the playground with my kids or wherever else I was, answering his questions, giving context for his other interviews, suggesting people in the rationalist community for him to talk to…

and

> Was there some better, savvier way for me to help out? For each of the 14 points listed above, were I ever tempted to bang my head and say, “dammit, I wish I’d told Cade X, so his story could’ve reflected that perspective”—well, the truth of the matter is that I did tell him X! It’s just that I don’t get to decide which X’s make the final cut, or which ideological filter they’re passed through first.

It was more of an open-ended question for discussion, and I was wondering how other people had bootstrapped themselves when they needed to buy product in order to kickstart something.
How are they underpaying people? They pay what the market supports. If you get an $8/hour job as a greeter and you think that's less than you're worth, then you are welcome to not work there. If the supply of labor becomes scarce, then the wages will rise. The thing is that there are some jobs that just don't warrant high pay. If I can teach you your job in an hour and it requires no skills or experience, then why should I pay a huge wage? It's like buying a netbook and paying Mac Pro prices. It's silly. While I know Wal Mart people generally work hard, the work itself is on a level of difficulty on par with collecting aluminum cans. If you find yourself working for 10 years as a Wal Mart cashier, then it's your own fault. There are so many government programs for workforce education, technical training, university, etc. Instead of watching Dancing with the Stars or keeping up with the Kardashians, it might behoove some of these career low-wage earners to try to work a little smarter and learn a skill that they can monetize at a better rate than they currently earn.

For a short stretch in 2008, I was actually living out of my car, making barely $200 a week DJing at some shit clubs in Houston. I knew how to use a computer, but I certainly didn't know how to code. Here it is in 2014 and I make more money in a day than I did in an entire month back then. I taught myself, reached out to complete strangers who where experienced to recruit them as mentors and in 2010 I started getting paid to code. I'm not saying everyone should learn to code, but there is a way out of shit-paying jobs -- but it involves taking initiative instead of blaming everyone and relying on the "system" to help.

I have little sympathy for folks who continue to make minimum wage for years -- it's their own fault. That's not a popular opinion, but it's true. There is nothing stopping that Wal Mart greeter from spending his after work time learning something new.

Poverty is a choice. Maybe not a conscious one, but a choice nonetheless. I see plenty of satellite dishes when I drive past the public housing complex. I see plenty of $200+ sneakers using food stamp cards at the grocery store. I see a lot of blame, but very little personal responsibility -- it's always the "Evil" corporation's fault. It's the government's fault, it's Wal Mart's fault -- it's everyone's fault but the person who is actually in the situation.
Learning to let your beloved ones (and more in general people) go is by far the most difficult thing, at least in modern western world.

I think this comment is invaluable.
The GPU acceleration ends up not mattering for Windows guests which you can RDP to. RDP to localhost with all effects turned on is more than good enough for non-gaming, developer type of work. For Linux too it isn't a problem where most work happens in ssh - for the occassional X11 program you can either use the local console (which sucks agreed) or install Xming and run via SSH X forwarding.

Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2 supports GPU acceleration (need certified GPU), Full RDP-Over-VMBus, USB-Passthrough etc. though.

By better integration I meant my VMs are saved and auto restored between shutdown/reboot cycles without me even noticing, dynamic memory assignment works great and keeps total memory foot print down, I can mount VHDx files outside of the VMs etc. They may be small things but for my workload it feels pleasantly seamless. Workstation always felt heavy and in-your-way and besides as you noted the last few updates have been money for bug fixes essentially.
I have a macbook pro, and honestly I cannot set to believe any OS like mavericks, in this age, cannot run properly with 2GB of ram.

Everything is slow. 3MB of L2 cache processor, there's no excuse.
The point is that most people are never going to adopt Bitcoin if they have to worry about the technical side of securing their own funds

And most people are never going to buy physical gold because they have to worry about the technical side of securing their own funds.

Know what? Bitcoin/Gold is not for these people respectively, and nobody ever claimed otherwise.
haha, you can use a paying software to fix that.

crazy right ?
This was the first demo I ever saw:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2suZ1KkZ9HI

Which one of my brothers downloaded via BBS (amazingly, my small hometown had a BBS when few people even had PCs).
I had no idea what it was at the time, but in retrospect it is pretty impressive - there were really no popular 3D games at that time that I can recall.

A lot of the Spore (EA/Maxis) team was composed of demosceners - I was later invited to work on it but never took up the offer (after reading some horror stories about EA hours).
Nice! Although BBS doors in C could have been risky cough.

> it's super gratifying to read about kids being inspired by BBS software

Inspired? Man... I remember one time I was online and the SysOp initiated chat mode. After a while he told me he wrote some of the doors for his BBS. At first I didn't believe him because he was one person and not a giant company with fancy computers, but he convinced me and I was completely blown away. Programmers were my heroes growing up.

So did I, were you travelling at the time? I was in an airport and I figured that it is the weird you have an internet connection but it only takes you to a pay per usage landing page and no other page kind of problem that made Skype barf. I happened to a Java network client too at the same time. I can send you logs Skype!
What’s regular for computers is also more regular for humans. You’re absolutely right that taken to an extreme, doing things for computers isn’t great, but neither is making a super complex grammar
Yeah, though it was their funniest service.
I disagree. The job of the press is - or should be - to inform people. It's not about "in-depth context and analysis"; what bundling everything under "causes cancer" does is provide negative information.

> If people want to be stupid and jump to conclusions to support whatever biased position they hold, they can do that too.

I understand that you can't be responsible for people being randomly stupid, but if the stupidity is systematic and predictable, then indeed it becomes your responsibilty if you know about it and play into it for profit.
Far from nothing, companies allow the government to collect more payroll, property, income, capital gains, and sales taxes. Moreover, corporate taxes are a double taxation of which a sizable portion of the incidence falls on labor
Vegans don’t eat animal produce- including cow’s milk. Why would you expect a vegan to eat milk chocolate?
Oh yeah, I read all that after I started seeing problems, I know I'm in the wrong here. It works just good enough that I haven't addressed it yet (I just kick over the process when things get weird, and the db usually recovers just fine).
I've been vegetarian for 25 years. I'm male, 45 years old, my resting heart rate is around 50, and I can run 10km in under 50 minutes (and I do this about 3 times per week).

Scroll back 5 years. My wife and I decided to become vegan (for various reasons - carbon footprint, animal welfare, all that jazz). Having been healthy vegetarians for about 20 years, it should have been easy, but regardless, we were meticulous. In fact, not being the "religious" type, and having found out that bi-valves (oysters, clams, scallops etc) don't have the where-with-all to feel pain, I added them to my diet. We just cut out all eggs and dairy.

Now, I can't swear that going vegan caused my health problems, but about a year after going vegan, my overall "vitality" had dropped (I felt tired, but kept up frequent exercise). But the biggest issue was that I couldn't shake off a cold. It would start with the usual sniffle, and within a few days I have a temperature and my lungs would be infected. I went through about a year of constant on-and-off infections. At the worst point, I had two straight months of infection, seemed to shake off for a few weeks, and got it back again for another two months. I was miserable. I was worried it was something really bad like lung cancer. The doctor prescribed me two types of inhaler, lots of antibiotics and told me I had adult onset asthma.

The inhalers helped me manage things, but I really just felt like I was keeping another infection at bay all the time. I went back on eggs and a small amount of dairy. A few months later I was back running. I haven't had a single problem since. 5 years without inhalers.

I have no idea what really caused my issues. My wife developed an intolerance to soy during our veganism. If she eats tofu for a few days, her skin gets itchy and she eventually get a flare up of rosacea (which btw, she had for months until she figured out the soy connection, but it took weeks after cutting out soy and taking meds before it completely cleared up).

The biggest issue I have with a pure vegan diet isn't just cutting out foods, it's the addition of huge amounts of stuff that you normally wouldn't eat in such high amounts (nut milk, nut butter, nut cheese, nut burgers... soy in everything)

I have encountered these militant vegans too. I don't get into arguments, I just say "it's not for me".
Will there be an archive somewhere?
This article exclusively refers to it as the P.1 variant.
So much fear and loathing in this thread, which puzzles me. Anyone who sets out to write a hypermedia API in JSON is going to end up with a structure not dissimilar to this one. If this fits your needs, then use it, by all means and let your clients use an off-the-shelf lib for using your service.

I'm not a fan of the spec, but overall it seems to strike a good balance between what is specified and what is left out. To compare this to SOAP is missing the point.

What killed SOAP was an insistence on treating HTTP as a dumb transport - thereby breaking the constraints of the interwebs, the inherent brittleness of RPC, and the lunacy of the WS-* stack.

None of that applies here, it's closer in spirit to AtomPub, which is still a pretty decent standard, but just happens to be in XML which everybody hates nowadays.

I think a lot of the commentators in this thread seriously believe that having a different data format and interaction style for every API on the internet is somehow "simpler" than adopting a loosely defined set of conventions and writing them down somewhere as a standard.
I'm not sure I understand what of the grandparent post constitutes a liberal ideology.
There's days where I dream of packing up and moving just to get to a market that isn't served by Mediacom.

Ukrainian situation is a complex one and brings out the worst in people, at least in post-Soviet countries. It's not uncommon for people to have different view on this issue. I know families who fight over it, people breaking up over it, it's pretty emotional subject. So with this in mind, I don't think there is some sort of conspiratorial force at work to post pro-Kremlin position on online. I don't doubt that there are paid people who spam forums but just because someone is voicing their opinion in favor of Russian official stance it doesn't mean automatic paid shill. I've been following this conflict since 2013 and I have to say that all involved sides are offenders of "their" version of events in mass media.
Look at something like cholesterol. We used to think high blood cholesterol was caused by a diet high in saturated fat, and that this was a causal risk factor for hear attack.

Now we've modifed that a bit and some doctors think that saturated fat isn't as terrible as it was and that sugar is the actual problem: http://www.nhs.uk/news/2013/10October/Pages/Saturated-fat-li...

If we got that wrong how well are going to do with all the micronutrients and other stuff that is in real food?

Soylent had a terrible, unethical, marketing campaing during its kickstarter. (Probably illegal in the US - it made medical claims) but they seem to be a lot more careful about that kind of stuff now.

If you're going to use any of the meal replacement products (there are loads on the market) you don't have to give up real food. You can still eat fruit and veg alongside your nutrient-gloop.
If the criminals can create a bot to scan for AWS keys, I wonder if github can't create a plugin to detect the same and warn the committer or maybe limit access to this data to original committer only. It won't be 100% but I bet the bots aren't 100% either, so if it covers most of the cases it would still be useful.

Or maybe just have a script on local github pre-commit hook?
If you've ever read Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, you'll remember how difficult it was for The Square to describe his experiences to the other two dimensional beings after visiting Spaceland (a three dimensional world). This woman faces a similar challenge, and I think she does remarkably well.

If you haven't read Flatland, I highly recommend you do so. While on acid, of course.
Your perspective is showing: one could reformulate your post as "Handguns are designed for self-protection. Tor is designed to put internet users above the law."

The whole idea of drawing moral distinctions between objects is a canard. Objects (including atomic bombs and function-enhanced H5N1) lack agency, so they are of course morally neutral. This neutrality doesn't preclude our talking about the morally-relevant effects these objects have on society though.

It's plausible under the utilitarian calculus that a ban on Tor would be in our collective interest. I personally don't think it is, but the question of Tor's overall utility is legitimate and the answer isn't immediately obvious.
Increase of testing is 300% a day at times. For infections to increase greater than that you would need each infected individual to infected 3+ people a day. You may mean that the number of infected is still higher than the number of tests available
Except the experts have disagreed with you from the start. You think we’re shutting down countries all over the globe against the advice of public health officials? Or even economists?

I have no doubt you can produce a “citation” of someone that agrees with you, especially if you twist their words to support your point. But you’re not seeking the truth, you made up your mind a long time, which is why the vast majority of experts disagree with you.

And I have zero doubt that you lack the shame and introspection to stop posting now, about something you know nothing about and have been wrong about all along. You should be ashamed though, you’re part of a movement costing lives. And I won’t be “civil” while you do so.
I've been holding a lot of LQMT stock ... I'm ready for this to move into the mainstream.
Kind of a tangent, but why switch from GTK to Qt 5? Or rather, why Qt 5 rather than some other cross platform UI framework or even GTK 3? Is it ease of porting it for new features compared to something else? And/or is Qt just that much nicer to use?
BTW, does the core Julia team maintain an active list of this and other priorities?
Good point. That said I imagine another facet is the risk of fraud and graft as some would love to be paid for navel gazing 'studies' or generally slap-dash work.
