> Re: CI vs build system, I guess the difference is that build systems focus on artifacts, while CI systems also focus on side effects. That said, there are bazel packages to push docker images, so it's certainly a very blurry line.

I think the CI and build system have basically the same goals, but they're approaching the problem from different directions, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that "CI" is more imperative while build systems are more declarative. I really want a world with a better Nix or Bazel. I think purely functional builds are always going to be more difficult than throwing everything in a big side-effect-y container, but I don't think they have to be Bazel/Nix-hard.
Twitch takes half of the subscription fee. Twitch doesn't employ streamers. Twitch takes platform fees.
I wonder if you're confusing public debate and a vocal minority with actual bans of things? I'm not aware of any actually banned video games in the US, for instance.

We should talk about those things in public - and not everyone will agree. That's how it's supposed to be.

It's brand new, however, to wield the power to literally cut off your political enemies from more than half of the population with a single click of the mouse.
Isn't it so relieving now that the pendulum is swinging back?

I'm so glad I moved into C# and non-web dev/management and got out of that rat race. Tech always swings back and forth, but I'm so very happy to have made it past SPAs being the end all be all.
This is actually creating an opportunity for a reasonable competitor to show up - with Twitch deciding they are going to play "Internet police" their competitor does not actually need to be "Wild west", it simply needs to offer "We only police our service" while providing similar quality of experience.
Nice, maybe I can stop being gravedigger now.
My first guess would be less surface for contact, thus less heat transfer. But the corners are also colored differently, I'm not sure why that's the case. They probably cool down quicker?
I am working on a project in medical diplomacy: Israeli and Palestinian doctors working to provide care for patients across the region, irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, or ability to pay.

The project is part of my work with the Mosaic Institute ( https://mosaicinstitute.ca/ ), in partnership with the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group ( https://bit.ly/3dljQ3H ).
I don't know much about it, but I think it's usually provided by pressurized bleed air from the engines.

There are cabin pressurization test carts for use on the ground, as well as start carts to provide bleed air for starting engines, and bleed air in turn can supply cabin pressurization in flight, although this probably requires some rigging on the ground.

Interestingly, they switched to electric compressors for the 787 [0] because those no longer provide bleed air from/to each engine to simplify the plumbing.

Finding a SaaS idea isn't hard. Finding one that actually makes money is. I'm talking real money, not a couple thousand bucks a month.

You may go down a path of a "big problem" that requires tons
and tons of effort and overhead, only to find the market is too small, companies rather just do it "the old way", or they simply don't want to pay enough money.

Do your research.

I had learned that Cakewalk had become free but had not looked into it. Sounds like it is a good option.
I lived with my wife in a van for months. We dumpster dived behind bakeries, pizza places and ate very simple food. Even now 24+ years later we live a very simple life with few things. (I left home at 17, and lived on the streets for a time as well, so a van was luxury to me)

My hope is that if nothing else, the current situation opens people's eyes to past indulgences with no thought toward the future. I wish I had saved as much as you had, I would be better off now. (I simply never learned good financial sense until later in life)

More than anything though, I am not afraid of going back to nothing. (I am sure you may have a similar "mental safety net?)

It's not the end of the world and we can recover from this current state. Not sure it's comforting to those that face this imminently, but many people have survived far worse.
I'm a bit lost in all the hype vocabulary that emerged in the non-conventional/non-quant spheres.

I guess what you call "volpocalypse" refers to the massive deleveraging of late 2018.

I also don't know about XIV specifically. Most institutional players would not go through an ETF to short VIX, this seems more like a small shop/individual way.

Only thing I know is that being long volatility is a somewhat well know strategy, with multiple big players at it, mainly in the market making industry, since the totally skewed returns distribution of returns is not particularly attractive to a lot of people.

For the culture, you can see a lot of short vol (the inverse of what we're talking about) strategies being crushed right now. Diversified Long/short hedge funds were particularly in demand of it since some time and it got really crushed with the current massive deveraging, which is mostly why you see below market returns for a lot of funds at the moment, thus causing them to deleverage more, thus feeding the cycle.
So I can censor a newspaper company who is publishing things I disagree with?
My thinking is that all those things would be easier to address politically if doing so meant giving back that rent to the people
> DIHEL: So back then - almost 20, 25 years ago - Lamb Weston invented a coating called Stealth, which was their secret coating that you couldn't see and you couldn't tell was on the french fry, but it lasted - it was crispier longer, up to 12 to 15 minutes.

Costco sells Ore-Ida "Fast Food" frozen fries that have a coating on them. I hate them. You drop them on the pan for baking and your fingers get oily. They are supposed to come out crispy, and the best I can say is that they don't come out limp & soggy.

I'd much rather have fries au naturel. No coatings - just the sliced potatoes, deep-fried. And then a sprinkle of salt. Sam's Club sells a frozen waffle-cut fry that is pretty good.

McDonalds fries are actually cooked twice. And have a coating. They're briefly fried at the factory to keep them crispy, and then of course fried again at the restaurant just prior to selling them to you.

Depends on the application, but that definitely is an important factor for me.
Well, true that investors will ask how well you can capture the market you are targeting. However, what that really boils down to is whether or not the investors believe you can execute well. Actually, sometimes investors will throw more money at you if they think it is a competitive market but believe that you can become the market leader first. After that, if you do well at building a good brand, then you'll get customers based on that, regardless of the competition that pops up.

Instead of further optimizing the already light design surely it would be easier to do a gofund me and get a server upgrade? I certainly wouldn't mind chipping in a buck or two if it relaxes limits.

More and more I feel the whole system is designed to make people feel isolated and paranoid. And products like these are part of that cycle. People buy this stuff because they are afraid. But it doesn't help it does the opposite.
Well, to paraphrase what Bellarmine wrote to Galileo, if it turns out to be true, then we've got some cogitatin' to do.

One route is to try and beef up the results, for instance by looking for similar results under different conditions. Then, if someone finds a pattern that ties these results together, there's the chance that they could write a theory. The big win is if theory and experiment can play off of one another as they both gain greater precision and breadth.
I was one of those types who had a lot of problems with math in primary school because the style of "here are 150 problems for your homework tonight, just like every other night" didn't work with my learning style at all. It took me a long time to overcome this, and while I can't really give an example of this with calculus, I've run into this with other similarly "advanced" mathematical branches such as combinatorics, which comes up in all sorts of CS contexts dealing with trees or similar data structures.
"Indiana University School of Medicine researchers used a modified lentivirus to introduce a potent anti-melanoma T cell receptor gene into the hematopoietic stem cells of mice. Hematopoietic stem cells are the bone marrow cells that produce all blood and immune system cells."

Has this type of gene therapy ever been tried on humans? Any successes so far (not necessarily in curing something, but just in using a virus to carry genetic information)?
It does. I've got it now, seems very nice so far.
I'm not particularly interested in debating the honesty or lack thereof of the advertising. I just want to say that I'm glad that Apple's innovations will allow us to leave behind the old world where you had to either desperately hope the printer would work with you or fight with drivers, and enter a brave new world where you have to either desperately hope the printer will work for you or fight with drivers.
> Does that mean that the inability to tweet grinds to a halt if the system clock gets set back

Not necessarily, their applications most likely have some retry logic which runs when an InvalidSystemClock exception is caught.
I had the same question, so I went to the BCIC website. It doesn't say what BCIC stands for either. I had to look it up in Wikipedia!
I knew Readability, but just used "no style view".
I would bet that the animal pathology work they do is more sensitive.
What? No it wouldn't. The fact that you can use your existing, free Dropbox account means that 1Password can provide you a lot more value at no cost to you or them.

And it's not like 1Password doesn't encrypt what it puts on Dropbox.
That's really an excellent point. Wikileaks is scandalous because it was leaked, not because of the content. There are a handful of embarrassing things in there, but that's it.

The best analogy I could come up with is if someone leaked all the private Facebook messages from all the students at a high school. Sure, feelings would be hurt, but at the end of the day it's really no big deal.
The gray hair scene would be funny :)

You can say that again. It's also way behind Eclipse. It's amazing how good an IDE can be when you have a large corporation behind it (I.e. MS or IBM).
My experience being on the reviewer side of the process is very limited. As a frequent reader of papers in CS I'm of the opinion that peer review is accomplishing very little outside of checking theoretical results with proofs that can be vetted. I can count on one hand the number of papers I've read in the past month or two describing an implementation of a technique where the implementation described was available publicly. In all other cases, I had to take the authors' words for it. Given the poor handling of data for publication I've seen in the past, I'm not especially inclined to do that.

I also don't believe that the current conference / journal system for publication of results works especially well. There's a well-documented bias against the publication of negative results. It encourages authors to "save up" interesting work for publication when pieces of it could have been independently examined much sooner. In combination with "publish or perish" metrics, it discourages valuable or interesting work that might not ever rise to the level of a full journal publication. The format is incredibly stifling; important information is left out to satisfy page limits, code mangled to fit within columns, and interesting data visualizations not even considered because of the constraints of the media.

I think it's inevitable that the current common publication system will be recognized as a relic of the paper era, but I fear that any fix will only make superficial changes to the system. I think it'd be much more useful to have a publication system that allows work to be published with full data in a format that allows evolution in response to open reviews. This obviously wouldn't work well in areas where protection of patient privacy requires data obfuscation; I don't have a good answer for that. In all other areas, especially where the research is funded by public money, full data and code transparency ought to be key, especially where raw data must be adjusted or normalized in order to be useful and in situations where bugs in modeling programs could subtly affect results.

The third comment of the blog is interesting. Does anyone have any insight as to whether using Dropbox to sync iTunes works well? At a glance, it seems a better solution than home sharing.

Lately people in the valley -- and on this list -- have been talking about how successful entrepreneurs are more likely to be young (say, in their 20's).

This article and its sources would appear to flatly contradict that thought, except that I think the article is defining "startup" as any new business. Whereas we're talking tech.

So maybe younger people do better in tech businesses but not in general? Why would that be? More in touch with new technology? More willing to ignore conventions in applying it? At the same time, suffering from less legal, financial and market acumen.

According to Challenger, start-ups in the first quarter were dominated by experienced workers over 40. Of those starting their own firms, 88 percent were over 40. That was up from 78 percent in the previous quarter.

“It makes sense that these seasoned veterans might be more jaded about the corporate employment experience and are therefore more likely to turn to self-employment. In many respects, these individuals are also better suited than their younger counterparts for entrepreneurship, since they have a deeper foundation in business operations and probably have built a larger network of professional contacts who are critical in drumming up customers,” says Mr. Challenger.

“New start-ups will most likely be dominated by older, more experienced veterans of corporate America for the foreseeable future as baby boomers leave the traditional workforce and start their own firms,” he says.

Evidence that this is already occurring can be found in unpublished government data revealed by Challenger, which show that those 55 to 64 and older represent one of the fastest growing groups of self-employed workers.

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the number of Americans 55 to 64 categorized as self-employed in non-agricultural industries increased 33 percent from 1,439,000 in 2000 to 1,919,000 in 2006. The number of self-employed 65 and older grew 19 percent from 659,000 to 781,000 during the same period.

The largest number of self-employed workers consists of boomers 45 to 54 years old, who accounted for more than 2.7 million or 25 percent of the nation’s 10.9 million self-employed in 2006.
I recently (by me I mean the company I worked for) recently applied for an H1B. They asked for past tax returns, and proof that the company had employees and revenue.
'tis true though. Imagine how many companies out there looking for specific programming skills:

1) RoR NINJA!

2) jQuery EXPERTS!

3) JSF and/or Spring _and_ Struts2

4) C#, ASP.NET

5) All-things XML (XSLT, XSL-FO, XQuery, Xwhatever)

6) Specifically asking for DB2 or Oracle (not DBA, but for a typical developer position)

Instead of the fundamental programming skills like fundamental Data Structure and Algorithm, fundamental RDBMS, fundamental Software Engineering, etc.

On the other hand, I think Zed is just trying to be sarcastic to those who said that "you must keep on learning new things, like myself, see... I'm learning GIT" when it first came out but flat-out refused learning other things at the same time.
We built out a quick visualization of the noise data we've been collecting in the city. Again, the link is here: http://tendernoise.movity.com.

MongoDB VERY CLEARLY warns you about the limitations of the 32-bit install when you spin it up. When I invoke mongod on my 32-bit development box, I get a nice big message:

** NOTE: when using MongoDB 32 bit, you are limited to about 2 gigabytes of data
** see http://blog.mongodb.org/post/137788967/32-bit-limitations for more

If you manage to miss that, it's your own fault. Combined with the fact that he was using an unstable development branch, he has absolutely zero room whatsoever to complain. He hit a documented limit and got less-than-friendly behavior on an unstable build of the software. Going nuclear over it is just silly, and makes him look inattentive and/or naive.

Modern phones are some of the most powerful devices to ever run X11. X11 is quite old, and phones these days are quite fast. The desktops that X11 was written on were orders of magnitude slower than the phone you use to check your twitter feed.

The danger is not that people create more than one locker, that they might give their lockers away or download the music (which they themself have put there in the first place)

The danger is that foraging digital music becomes acceptable social behaviour (this has pretty much happened already, at least in the segment of young people) and that it become more difficult to get the stuff legally than illegally.

They can't beat the system on price, the action is socially acceptable (or at least not seen as worse than say, driving 5 miles over the limit) which mean that convenience is the only thing left to compete on.

Fortunately iTunes shows that it can be done, so why don't they?
from the article:
"Junior graduate students think senior graduate students are smarter, but they’re not: they simply have more practice.

Senior graduate students think junior professors are smarter, but they’re not: they simply have more practice."

My M.S advisor is a really hard worker, so he has a lot of experience doing research and is very good at it. For a while as an undergrad, I thought he was not particularly smart, just hardworking. However, after I started working on my first real problem as part of my thesis, I changed my mind. I realized that to work hard you actually need to be smart (of course there are many other factors related to time and money), otherwise it is very frustrating.
Funny you should try to imply that our fundamental physics are somehow wrong in a serious way that we have a high chance of finding a deeper physics that shows "impossible" things by today's physics are possible (want to take bets on timeframes?), on an article about two space probes that have lasted 34 years out there because of our understanding of the fundamental laws. As for not understanding the "why" of inertia and gravity, we nevertheless have general relativity which is pretty darn good.

The issue is primarily one of the US electorate, as long as their dollar denominated assets increase everything is fine, if dollar denominated assets are seen to depreciate heads roll, therefore in order to maintain political power the assets of the electorate must be seen to continuously rise.

From the little I've delved into BDDs, they are incredible data structures. I find Decision Diagrams in general fascinating for macro-enabled languages where they can be compiled into very efficient conditional branching code.
tmalloc() is a structured way of doing memory management within C. It's no different than all the other ad-hoc structured (or more often unstructured) memory management schemes that evolve within C programs, with the exception that it's semantics are at least documented.

If it is not considered off topic, I'd like to hear if anyone has used Rhomobile* to develop an android app. Even better if you can share experience as a Rails programmer making the jump.
