I deleted the Instagram app from my phone a while back, but still was stuck browsing on the web version.

I wasn't sure if McConnel finally found a conscious or if he was simply pissed off at Trump for spreading the "Stop the Steal" nonsense that likely suppressed a little bit of Republican turnout and lost them the Ossoff/Perdue race. That speech seemed carefully calculated to draw the maximum ire of the President.
> >The real problem is that the demand for good teachers far exceeds the supply.

> There's a surefire way to increase the supply of good teachers, increase salaries & benefits. Reduce classroom sizes.

I don't disagree, but either one of those solutions alone is a pretty hard sell, trying for both at once isn't going to get much traction.

Personally, I suggest focusing on classroom size first, as it should improve the performance of existing teachers and at least make the job less unattractive to new teachers.
And that's why we have the Defense Production Act. Don't give them a choice.
In the middle ages multiplication was a skill that was taught at universities. Somehow we now teach it to 7 year olds.

The reason why we haven't done the same for critical thinking is that the people in charge won't be if we had a citizenry which could think logically.

Case in point: NYC and SF have the worst homelessness problem of any city despite being in the hands of the party that keeps saying they are for the poor. That you now have dozens of reasons lined up in your head why it's not their fault despite having the power to solve it for decades and should be let off the hook is the lack of critical thinking in American education at work.
I was just looking at natural gas powered generators because of this. I've had an accumulative 24 hours of outages in the past month. They don't seem bad, the units themselves are around $6k. Definitely worth considering!

I agree capitalism and incentives produce loopholes, but a lot of those can be closed pretty easily with good governance. For example, many of us are tech workers and paid with stock/options/equity. This is a great system to align incentives -- we're all in the same boat to win or lose.

..except when we're not. You often see in-group worker game the system by taking ever increasing cash comp ("i win either way") or special incentive bonuses for managers who ensure delivery. Meanwhile, VCs are on first-out preference shares. Worse, you often dont know this is happening so you continue to think the real game is cashing out your equity.

This is poor governance IMHO. And many workers end up sniffing it out. The ultimate capitalist system would have absolutely guaranteed comp by equity w/o special side incentives.
I think it might make it difficult to prove intent to defraud if you immediately return the cash. Is it theft if a magician picks your pocket but then returns the wallet at the end of the trick? By the most technical sense of the term, it might. But i can't imagine a prosecutor that would go after something like that.
Yeah exactly! That "undervaluing" is what initiated that whole fuck-up at the Jurassic Park :)
> what's the business case for a customer to choose Shopyist over Shopify?
I have been thinking a lot about them. I have ideas about people selling digital goods viz. writers selling ebooks. I have been thinking about the piracy concerns and ways to mitigate them. It won't be upto me but upto the writers/musicians to embrace the new media and make up for the piracy with advertisement in the ebooks, like there are advertisements in actual magazines.

But then this begs the question, why would advertisers pay for amateur writer's creations, and why would professional writers sell ebooks with me? Well, for one thing, if you are selling through me, you don't have the publisher's cut and all the money is yours. You can very well sell it on Amazon et al., but here you can manage everything yourself with just a minuscule monthly fee. Setting up a store here would be dead simple.

I have been thinking about integrating it with twitter. For example, you just twit "Special discount. Check out http://foo.bar/2x813 and the customer gets either a lightbox popped up on twitter(if he is on a browser) or redirected to the browser if he is on some other client(if possible). There are some implementation issues, but it's mostly doable.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I have other ideas. For one thing, I don't think shopify provides attachable shopping cart widgets, which is something very useful to you if you already have an online presence.

> find a differentiator you can use as a UVP.

And what is stopping shopify from implementing the same stuff? How will it matter then?
I don't consider shipping Office 2010 a lofty goal... Come on, we are trying to make the world a better place.

As someone currently doing two migrations from Outlook (I finally got approval to get rid of Windows on my corporate notebook and my wife is moving her Exchange-based mail to an IMAP server) I can say any shipment of Office 2010 prevented means at least one more happy person ;-)

As for the other options, making the next 10M trade or becoming a grad student, I think you should follow your heart.
One of my colleagues is a sixty year old PHP developer who was a nurse in the army until he was 45, decided to get a degree from Open University and took it from there.

Never too late.
For the same reason, most information you find on blogs is also out of date.
iPhone programming (i.e. ObjC + optional C/C++) is harder than HTML+CSS+JS+(PHP/Python/Ruby/Java/whatever)?

Despite stuff what HTML is made for (like static websites), almost everything else is much easier to develop in ObjC with Cocoa (in some IDE like Xcode).

Let's take a simple 2D top-down game (like Legend of Zelda) as an example, with an inbuilt level editor and some way to save/load games on/from your local disk (or for the web equivalent: somewhere in some database).

That is quite easy to do with ObjC. I, for example, started to learn coding with Visual Basic many years ago, and that example was my second project (after a few weeks of coding -- never ever coded before). (Ofc VB is way different than ObjC but they are similarly easy to handle.) The point is, leave some newbie alone with Xcode and he will manage to implement something like this (without much extra documentation because most stuff is straight forward).

Now, let's leave some newbie alone to implement that in HTML + JS + whatever serverside language he prefers. He maybe will fail already to setup the web server.
You make around S$200k/yr within 4 years if you're in banking IT in Singapore. This is not even counting the bonuses they usually get. OTOH if you work work for a startup here, you get around S$80-90k/yr max. And if you're a non-IT person at a bank, the figures are just astronomical.

Almost half of the people I met in university are now working for banks, and you'll find them either preparing for CFA exams over the weekend or thinking about their MBA applications for next year. These include people with PhDs in Physics and who worked on cutting-edge stuff like quantum cryptography.
If you've owned a computer for the last six months at least, and haven't already learned at least some programming then I'd suggest you probably don't have a particular aptitude for it - give it a go anyway though, and if you enjoy it then don't stop. Please don't just do it for the money though - all the worst programmers I've met fall into that category, and none of the best.

On the other hand, web programming is exceptionally easy...
Also consider that you didn't create the system and are just a part of it, if you don't take the job someone else will. Depends what stage of your life your at, the money could be a primary concern or a secondary one with flexibility, personal interest and creating something valuable higher.
Unsustainable, but 30% of every sale probably makes it worthwhile.
At one point, REPL first editors (ipython notebooks, etc) will meet edition based IDE (them) in an essential cosmic spark and nothing will ever be the same ever again.
In my opinion this weakens both projects. As the ultimate goal seems to be to build a new framework based on the two, this means that every code you write today using on of those frameworks will be legacy code soon.
That's unnecessary. I ship my apps as single-file executables that are ready to go. In the worst case you can use a directory like zoom does (on Linux at least) which contains all the libraries and dependencies you need.
I spent a lot of time thinking about this.

In the end, I would rather be able to influence what my kids are using the screens for than introduce them to screens at a point in their life where I will have no say about what they are doing.
Exactly! At best you'd hear it snap open and closed, but the point would still be defeated.

Intermittent packet loss is something I’ve experienced everywhere I’ve lived in the UK and with different devices. The only constant has been the BT/OpenReach network on which many of our ISPs are based :|
That's already the case. USPS relied heavily on being able to move cargo in the belly of passenger planes which lead to disruptions this year. You can also fairly quickly take all the seats out of most passenger planes since they're just stuck in there with L track.

Don't worry. Even when it's sold it's never really sold. If someone with more money comes along they get your spectrum. Just look at the incumbent satellite uplink operators who had half of C band taken away from them and resold (to 5G telcos).

As for spectrum usage, I can only talk about my region, but I have been monitoring all of 70-1000 MHz at ~10 second intervals and storing the data since 2014. For periods of that I monitor 700-2700 MHz as well. The cell operators are not letting their bands sit idle as far as I can tell. It's nothing like what the top level comment thread implies re: ISM vs. Cell bands. If anything it's the reverse.

But that doesn't mean they should get this 6-7 GHz of new ISM spectrum the FCC returned the original owners: the people. They really, really shouldn't. And they shouldn't be allowed to operated unlicensed LTE in the ISM bands either.
Thanks. Do you remember what was amazing? I've been using a fairly vanilla JupyterLab setup as the basis for a (proprietary) project. I've found the docs generally OK for what I've been doing.

To be honest one of the worst things about JupyterLab I've found is the number of interesting extensions that look great but turn out to be unmaintained or overlap with others. It can be really confusing!
The current situation is particularly disappointing when you realize that a lot of WiFi devices have been capable of adjusting TX power on a per-packet basis (per frame, really) at least as far back as 802.11n hardware. So your router should never be shouting at your laptop that's in the same room, even if it would use full transmit power to reach a device in the attic/basement/yard.
I didn't personally read any malice into your comment, for whatever it's worth. Sorry if my comment made your day less pleasant. I could have made my point more kindly.

It's OpenBSD specific. But it's also just 10 lines of portable C that are permissively licensed and can be added to any project without problems. It's even in a separate source file for this very purpose [1]

However, it's RDSEED that needs to be used as input if we use the Intel instructions.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/11/17/the-differ...

Edit to add: we can obviously pass on the RDRAND instruction directly to the VM, but that's less portable, because not all servers in a server farm may have that instruction available, limiting live migration capabilities.

So we can just pass on output from RDSEED into the host's /dev/random, and feed the VM /dev/random by default as described.
I'm soooo glad that my wife thought it was cool to have our rings made by a friend on his 3D printer. :-)

In short, created LZEXE at 17, went on the create QEMU (general CPU emulator, also used as a frontend of KVM), and FFMPEG (which pretty much every open-source (and many not) multimedia app uses).

What makes you think that "privatization of prisons" has anything to do with capitalism? Is it because it is "private" and private must = capitalism? It sounds like you don't know what capitalism is.

Yeah, I've always found it odd how proponents of various entropy combining methods think it's reasonable to be afraid of hardware smart enough to know when to sabotage the RNG, but think it's unrealistic to postulate that it would also know the right way to poison their entropy pool.

"What makes a good game" and "what makes a good story" are two different things.

Doom didn't have a plot. Tetris didn't have a plot.

Also, if you want the game to have a MEANINGFUL plot, then you have to pretty much make the game linear, which isn't the point of a game.

Trying to make a game like a movie is missing the point.

When I hear things like "This game has 20 hours of gameplay!", I cringe, because if it's a really good game I want to play it more than 20 hours (one reason I like roguelikes).

Initially I moved savings into the business and started taking a draw. It might make sense to do this as payroll. I think regularity is important so you can ignore home issues and focus on the business.

For several years, I've given myself a bimonthly check. When I hired an employee, he got the same rate. It's relatively low, but keeps me frugal at home.

Eventually, I added a $15/month retirement deposit. It was all I could afford at the time and eventually increased it to $416/mo. (max a Roth IRA allows).

"Pure" mathematics sometimes has applications as well - number theory and cryptography, boolean algebra and circuits, etc. I do not think that Adams would argue that pure math is worthless, rather that it has applications that haven't shown how valuable it is or is not. Value is associated with utility as well. If Markov chains didn't help us describe things well, despite it seemingly being difficult to come up with, it would have little value. However, anything that stretches the limits of human understanding has value in that it increases our capacity reason and shows paths that do not bear much fruit.
It went nowhere. Linux distros and the mainline kernel are using btrfs, which has a similar layer-spanning design as zfs but is btree based like Reiser (which should make it faster).

Most features are done and you can install with btrfs out of the box today in the RHEL 6 or Centos 6 betas.

Regardless of whether you want him back or not, the truth remains that Gates was, and is, a visionary.

Would I prefer seeing him back at MS or in his current role?
Without a question, I would like to see him use his fortune to address bigger and more pressing problems like poverty, disease, and malnutrition.

I have no qualms about his 'evil genius' side - he ran a business, a wildly successful one at that, and I think you can fairly attribute the widespread use of PCs to Microsoft (I'm a Mac). But the world could make better use of a visionary, compassionate, and generous (isn't that ironic how his current role contrasts with his past business image?) person like him.
> 1) (proper) anonymous code blocks ... it's the only sane way to have declarative APIs, although I've found for some tasks that Python's features (like decorators, meta-classes) are enough ... but not for all things I want to do [.]

Is the anonymous bit necessary? Or asking another way: What about throw-away names? I find that even in Haskell I rarely use lambdas, but tend to name nearly all of my functions.

I think node can beat out php in regards of ease of hosting. I've simply never worked with a version or package manager that works as well as nvm and npm. Trying to do the same thing with Ruby or Python is like pulling teeth. Even compared to PHP it's a breeze. I know it isn't on all hosting solutions like PHP, but Heroku and Nodejitsu are free for small or open source projects respectively.

But you're right, PHP assuming HTML output by default is a huge boon. With node you have to set up your own server and routes, and more... That's a lot more work than installing WAMP, running it, and putting your php files in the right folder.
I have an app in the store that's been doing reasonably well. Another developer released an app with the exact same name. (I'm not sure how, as the App Store normally prevents that). I filed a complaint with Apple, and they renamed their product, simply adding "Pro" to the name.

Search for any popular app name and you'll see the other apps trying to ride off the same search terms. Apple seems to be fine with that.

Where Apple will get involved is if you send them a properly worded legal request based on an actual trademark or intellectual property violation. They will act if they are compelled to, but only then.
It helps that many of the Rust developers are also working on Servo. :)
Although that might be true in a roundabout way, I don't think that all models are required to be directly prognostic. Models can be useful without having much predictive power if they nevertheless lend insights into how different concepts (physical entities, energies, presumably something equivalent in economics...) interact, even if only in the idealized model world.
Take a look at Streeterville/Lakeshore East in Chicago (lakefront downtown) and Tobacco Row in Richmond (riverfront warehouse district). High rises and lofts, with amenities in skylobbies or at the bottom, and ample parking in garages. Despite beautiful parks adjacent, the sidewalks around these areas are always empty, and there is very little street-facing retail.

The converted lofts in Fulton River District (warehouse district in chicago, same price point) seem to be increasing foot traffic though, despite it being an area where you need a car to get anywhere. Parking in this neighborhood is on the street. Still very undeveloped commercially though, aside from "restaurant row"
I agree, C itself is kind of scary. And what's worse is that you've understated it a bit. You don't "start working in assembly," because some of the scariness is that your operations don't map nicely to assembly, as the compiler does its thing. For example, taking a pointer to something on the stack and adding an offset to get a pointer to something else on the stack would be reasonable to do in assembly, and fine if done correctly, but if you try to do the same thing in C it's a crapshoot as to whether the compiler will do what you expect, or whether it will decide to eliminate the whole chunk of your code because it can't possibly run, or something else.

Static analysis helps a lot, as does being careful about what you write. Most constructs aren't dangerous, so you can mostly avoid the scary ones, and take extra care when you need to use them. Not that this saves you all the time, but it helps.
