This entire narrative falls apart when you consider credit and why rents exist.

There are people living in London that have been paying rent on the dot for 20 years and still can't get a mortgage because they are not deemed credit worthy. Each month they pay £1,500, they landlord pockets £200 and uses the rest to pay the bank. 30 years later, landlords owns a home worth £300,000 + £72,000 of recurring income, and the family owns nothing. Being self employed or on zero hour contract can do that to you.

But even if you are an upper-middle class homeowner, you still loose against someone who own real assets. They can borrow ridiculous sums against existing assets at near-zero interest rates and invest with leverage, making millions of capital gains while you squirrel away whatever pennies you can spare into your pension and mortgage.

Apple cables used to be the worst cables when it comes to fraying. I had never had a cable fray except apple cables, but I also haven't had an apple cable fray in a few years now. It seems like whatever terrible way they used to make the cables has been fixed
Commerce only happens when people buy things they want.
I'll tell you one way it's not, is as soon as someone commits a crime who happens to use Signal and the media gets ahold of this. It'll be a circus with terms like "dark webv and wha not thrown arohnd. GPs point #3 is kind of important for their reputation and if we want to onboard more people into crypto messaging.
On top of that you only have to learn SQL once and you can use it pretty much everywhere without having to learn a different ORM - Learn once, write everywhere.

Another thing that speaks for raw SQL is that it's a lot easier to debug queries, just copy/paste the query into your SQL editor and start figuring out what's wrong, you can't just do that with an ORM.
This comment is far too optimistic.
As someone who followed his work closely, I think that is an over-exaggeration.

With his Erasmatron, he did make many working prototypes, and recruited a very talented IF-author to try and build storyworlds with him in that tool and guide its development through that process.

The Erasmatron is still a very interesting idea that hasn't been successfully applied yet. Whether it's due to a deep weakness in the idea, or that the right execution hasn't been found yet, I don't know.
Awesome article - I'm looking forward to Part II. We're in a similar place!
No connection to the service... just found it today. Super slick. Will nicely complement my arsenal of http://instantdomainsearch.com, http://morewords.com, and http://thesaurus.com.

Any other similar tools to know about?
There isn't a 50% extra hardware cost. You spread systems over three zones and run at the normal utilization levels of 30-60%. If you lose a zone while you are at 60% you will spike to 90% for a while, until you can deploy replacement systems in the remaining zones. Traffic spikes mean that you don't want to run more than 60% busy anyway.
Yeah, my boss is really sold on it. I think I'll come round to it once I start playing with it. Interesting to hear about amber though, thanks!
I'm going to reiterate this again on this thread:

Yes, this interview is long, as was the Youtube video from Lustig. But it is worth every minute of listening time.

Watch the original video (linked in this thread) for a more in-depth technical explanation of the cellular processes at work. It's truly fascinating material.
Spaces after periods are cool, too.
There is no Internet it's just a couple of dozen guys.
It's probably too coarse of a measurement. In the same essay he says there are two ways to accumulate wealth: create it or steal it. Increasing numbers of wealthy people don't necessarily mean more wealth is being created.
Less; This table is good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose#Food_sources
As I commented elsewhere, I am aware that the technical definition includes this, but when this woman goes around claiming she was "sexually assaulted", does that generally infer references to a TSA pat-down or something more serious? It's definitely a misappropriation of the term at least in its common usage, though possibly not its legal usage.
I recently heard of vyew.com via a local hackerspace but haven't tried it yet.
Looks like their servers can't handle the bandwidth right now. This is what Bittorrent is for.
It's perfectly clear, even if they hadn't said 'observed age'. The entire point of the article is that we're witnessing the development of black hole, thirty years in. How far away it is and 'how long ago' doesn't affect this.
Although it was fairly explicitly pointed in the article (by Rafi Sela), I'm not seeing much of it discussed here. I think a big part of it is cultural.
Americans may object to this but I believe that, by virtue of having been shielded from any major aggression on its territory outside of 9/11, they don't know how to react to threats in a reasonable way. Most of what has been done by the government since then resembles more knee-jerk, fear-tainted overreaction than a sensible response to a grave, but also well documented abroad, problem.
Mr Sela uses the "Americans-take-too-much-shit-from their government" line but I believe this is simply out of inexperience in dealing with these issues.
Reminds me of this great article by Tim O'Reilly: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/01/work-on-stuff-that-matters-...
They're in a suburban area on comcast cable. I think they consistently get like 8Mbit down (not sure of up).

Seeing as I am 6hrs ahead of them I'm not really concerned about bandwidth stealing of theirs ;)
I found the read all over the place with a good helping of ego.

Honestly my main thought reading this was "no wonder their books didn't create the result expected" There is no order to the article, it starts out good, then morphs into the matrix, then a history lesson on phylosophy"

If true, the things they have achieved are "AWESOME" and "FANTASTIC" but the rant came off kind of "AWE-TASTIC"

I wonder if there may be some value in them hiring someone else to "Recompile" the books they wrote to make them more palatable. Of course I have not read the books, they may be page turners. I just wanted to offer something constructive instead of just putting them down.
And hydrogen. Though, a lifetime supply of calcium hypochlorite doesn’t take up much room, but is also flammable.
>Can you not separate these worlds? I.e. use an interactive shell like this or fish for your day to day, and still write bash scripts where needed on your server?

You can. Though you miss all kinds of ready to paste code, tutorials, tips, plugins, functions, autocompletions, etc. you can find for established shells...
I thought you could just add async to the function inside the forEach, like this:

const baz = foo.forEach(async (bar) => await (new promise(() => console.log(bar)))));
It's actually setting a healthy boundary. If they don't want to reach me on Signal, that's fine. There are other ways to talk to each other rather than text messaging.
The obvious retort would be to mention the problems with state ownership/control of companies.

However maybe you have a model in mind that doesn’t result in control ending up in the hands of the government.

If so, I’m curious!
What is funny, is the current administration has been doing exactly that to BLM protestors with zeal. And it has done nothing to help, somebody has to try and talk these extremists off the ledge
I just did it with my family, who use FB and know at a high level why FB is bad. Here's what I said:

"WhatsApp is now sucking all of your convos (including baby photos, etc.) into Facebook with their recent policy update. We're switching our family group chat to Signal".

My mom, who's nearly 70 did it almost instantaneously.

EDIT: My parents began to understand why FB is bad by reading books and watching documentaries. Those spooked them about how harmful it is for kids. So the "think of the children" might be a good motivator too.
They had a version of a safe without a cap and instead just a discount.

A cap is lame since it's just a one-sided valuation, but if you can get away with just a discount, then that would work well.
There will still be room for full VR and its applications with a mature AR device like HoloLens.
There isn't a bus with the characteristics you mentioned.

For example, SATA 3 saturates at 1 GBps.

A few years ago I measured something like 50GBps on these guys. The real trick is to walk a graph with multiple processors so that you saturate the bus. That being said I liked the Yarc data architecture more.
What does this have to do with MMA? The great thing about MMA is that you don't need a bunch of protective gear and tech to get an "objective measure of who would have won in a real combat situation". Very often the loser gets submitted or knocked out. That's the only truly definitive answer to who won the fight.
My first guess was that those are diff markers as you edit.
> Is this any different from gifs on tumblr?

Who says Tumblr gifs are legal fair use? Copyright infringement may be tolerated or overlooked, but that doesn't make it not infringement.

For comparison, the Premier League has recently been going after goal highlight GIFs on certain sites, which is unfortunate, but it seems entirely within their rights.

The Philippines won't stay poor forever.
Looks like it's implemented similarly to MAKVONotificationCenter, except that it doesn't support observation on arrays/array indexes. And why does it need to manually call the shared controller's -observeVFK... when the Initial option is set? That should be called automatically by the KVO machinery. It's a bit concerning.

Also it seems like keeping track of the additional controller objects would be a PITA.
That's fair. I apologise for doubting you.

I'm disappointed in Biden, all he needed to say was "too little too late" but instead of being in front of things leading, he was still behind the curve scoring points. And he's the guy leading the US for the next 4 years.

Again, sorry I didn't believe you. I'll be more open next time!
Drama only lasts a long time when there’s people on both sides arguing about it though.

This is what these “grand unified theories of American prudery” miss — the US isn’t a uniformly prude nation; it’s just a very large and diverse one. It contains people who are very prude as well as people who are the opposite — it contains people who write in to the FTC to complain about not-quite-nipples on TV, but it also contains the sort of people who thought that showing a 40 year old woman’s saggy boob during an afternoon football game was a good idea in the first place. It contains people who complain about porn, but it also contains most of the global porn industry.
In the past, I've looked at OpenRefine and Jupyter integration. Once I've learned to do data transformation with pandas and sklearn with code, I'll report back to you.

Pandas-profiling has a number of cool descriptive statistics features as well.

A plugin model would be cool; though configuring the container every time wouldn't be fun. Some ideas about how we could create a desktop version of binderhub in order to launch REES-compatible environments on our own resources: https://github.com/westurner/nbhandler/issues/1
> Since that job, I haven't had a job that wasn't through some kind of referral or secondary connection.

This has been a huge part of my job finding experience. Most of my work has been found through previous connections. Keep in touch with these folks and help them when you can. It's a good thing to do, and will pay dividends in the future.

Other things that were useful (beyond my network):

* Contracting, because this lowers the risk on both sides. Of course you have to be able to handle the difficulties of contracting.

* technical meetups and getting to know hiring managers through these, which again lowers the risk because you're a known quantity (or at least more known). This is a long play, so join a Meetup now, way before you need to switch jobs.
I can't. Some content seems to be removed for everyone and shows only on user's profile. That's different from showdead.
I feel pretty the same.

10 years experience as Full Stack Dev, passed all the tech interviews also for some of the FAAMG group, but I was rejected after the "behavioral" interview.

I don't know what to think. I believe it is an excuse to reject candidates with higher compensation requirements.
> Most people don’t care about animation

Then why does every popular desktop/mobile OS/app have UI animations?
People will only cease trying to get the maximum out of their batteries once we have wireless power and the phone starts charging itself as soon as you step into your home or office.

The technology has been demonstrated to work but it seems to be taking quite a long time to make it into consumer devices.
Contrary to this article, my Galaxy S (Captivate) stays at 100% for quite a while before dropping down rapidly.
I wonder if they programed the phone to do that and "trick" the user into thinking it's fully charged when it is really not; or if it really is at 100% and they have a different battery system.
As with any business in the world of capitalism, the spammers are free not to send their email to people in California. The difficulty of this is immaterial, companies have to deal with the uneven landscape of state laws all the time.

I would support a regulatory regime that would require all commercial email to include the provenance of the sender's relationship to the recipient, whether first-party or third, whether the recipient's address is rented, sold, acquired via corporate acquisition, or otherwise. Also, companies would be required to retain records of recipient acquision, such that if a recipient actually did create an account or other kind of direct relationship that the sender should be able to supply proof of the existing relationship. This could be implemented as simply as retaining all outgoing registration emails.
They just need to change them back on hilight.

Stop drinking that Diet Coke!!! It's bad bad bad. If you're trying not to gain weight - don't drink diet drinks. It tastes like sugar and makes you wanna drink more sugar.

Get some tea instead, you can drink hot tea, cold tea, you can add lemon or sugar, and it's much better than ewhhh - diet coke.
My speed read deciphered that as "shot Matt and dumped him side highway"...
There's this tendency I've started seeing more and more of in recent years. People pick an idea (be that a method, a technology or a philosophy) and make that their world. So you have people loudly proclaiming "We're agile", or "We're FOSS".

This isn't necessarily bad. It does get bad when it's exclusive of anything else. When someone tells me they only ever do something one way, what they're really saying is "We're incapable of introspection. We like our self-imposed status quo, and have no interest in improving ourselves."

Of course the other extreme is just as bad - change for the sake of change is just as destructive.
It has a domain, it has content, it has more css than content though, but it isn't that heavy.

It is a website.
If person A and person B commit the same fineable offense, it seems fair to me that the fine should be the same for both people. After all, shouldn't the fine be, in expectation, equivalent to the damage caused by the offense?
...So what distinguishes them from "Cowboy Coders"?
I would just keep in mind that the difference in housing cost between newcomers and those who have lived here for a long time can be very significant because of prop 13, rent control, and a local housing market that has inflated rapidly over the past 30 years.
I sympathize and hope you could find out how to cycle to work; as a side note, however, a "nice road bike" is not very good for commuting 2.5 miles to work.

1) road bikes are not good for taking you and a laptop a short distance to work; they are optimized for doing long journeys on free roads, not city traffic. What you want is a bike where you sit upright and which enables you to look around more conveniently, a bike with no clip pedals which enables you to stop at traffic lights at ease, and a bike with a rack which enables you to put your bag on it, etc.

2) a nice bike will be stolen in no time unless you keep it in closet (even here, and my country/city has actually very little crime).

That said, I understand your problem if roads are too scary. Where I live I have a dedicated bike/pedestrian lane 98 % of my work commute (10 km) and I mostly use a cyclocross bike which is almost like a road bike (slightly more agile, because there are many turns and crossings on the way, but I do use clip pedals).

Too often people buy "fashionable" bikes for commute (a carbon-fibre road bike, a BMX or downhill bike, or a fat bike) when the best one would be a cheap, general-purpose hybrid bike that rolls relatively easily but can take you across stone slabs or grit without puncture, and has a relatively upright sitting position with efficient access to pedals.
I briefly looked at Pluto.jl, and I think it's probably a good way. As I understood it it's a "notebook" that always runs the whole file. Like e.g. RMarkdown or sweave. All good. The state is fine too if it's explicit. But I'm fine with just CLI and print and occasional plot, which should be a lot simpler use case for development.

I create a "local package", meaning a file from which I relatively import. During development/analysis it's hard to foresee what the package structure is gonna be, so it's quite pointless to go through the whole packaging ceremony at this point. FromFile works fine for this.

As a temporary hack I could use REPL to call my "main" function and let Revise.jl update automatically. (In long term this is bad for interoperability with rest of the system). But in my experience Revise.jl tends to break a lot. Julia breakage is hard to analyze by itself, and Revise.jl often makes this more or less impossible.

I have to repeat that I really don't see how caching of the compilation results is even close the complications that Revise.jl or Pluto.jl have to do.
I saw an article of a real lawyer that explained the decision, but he also included a priceless information: qualified immunity does not come from a law or statute, it is a made-up term by the SCOTUS a few decades away. It is mind-boggling that such thing exists and it is also very hard to believe that legislators did not remove it into oblivion.
You probably can't.

You probably can make a difference between a red wine you are familiar with with a white wine you are also familiar with. Both served the usual way.

Besides the color, red and white wines are typically served at a different temperature (that alone change things completely) and with different dishes. So of course, make all parameters different and they are going to taste different.

I can usually make the difference pretty easily but I drank some white wines that I definitely would have thought were red if blind. But that's typically wine made to be paired with the main course and served at a higher temperature than usual.

And sure, some wines are unmistakable. If a wine is loaded in tanins, it is most likely deep red and the taste is obvious. The opposite is not that easy.
This article is kind of depressing, when did hosting your own server become a lost art?

One of parler’s problems was they didn’t scrub headers which made it very obvious they were using AWS and which AWS services they were using.

AWS is just a bunch of APIs - they could have colo’d their front end or put a bunch of varnish servers in front if it at a colo and nobody would have been the wiser they were using AWS on the backend (assuming their AWS account didn’t have Parler Inc in the payment details). From there getting taken down from one colo would just be an issue of spinning up a front end at another colo. Front that setup with a couple CDNs and now you have layers where you have to coordinate between half a dozen companies to bring the site down completely, meanwhile your data is safe in AWS because nobody knows your using AWS or even if they do it’s hard to pick you out from the millions of other AWS users.
If a vaccine vial was shipped in December and was given wholly to one person, that’s one dose. You can’t claim it was two back then because it couldn’t have been used as two.

The real problem I see is that we count vaccine doses as one shot. For Pfizer and Moderna two shots = one dose. It is misleading to show a two vial dose as two doses.
Anyone know of sites like this for a "big and tall" guy?
They don't really have enough money - Comcast has a market cap of $60 BN. Jobs and Cook have been incredibly fiscally conservative - there's absolutely no way they'd try to acquire a company this large. If they were going to do this, I think the only way would be to buy a 10-20% stake in Comcast, get a board seat or two, and make it a "strategic partnership."

(That said, I don't think there's any way Apple wants to get anywhere near Comcast's awful customer service reputation.)
I don't get why this is an bad thing. It sounds like there's no money to pay these folks, and these are just the measures that are needed.

Democracy is a good technique for selecting and keeping leadership fresh and making transitions between leaders peaceful. But that's all it is. Democracy has to be restrained by individual rights.

Beware of misapplying the term "democracy" to economic situations. A million votes cannot will even smallest amount of economic value into existence. Value has to be created, and that's something only individual minds can do. Bouncing ideas off of others to vett them is great, but that only works when the other person is a capable individual in his or her own right. Think back to your childhood. Were you ever able to solve a tough problem while your little brother or sister was jumping up and down next to you, trying to compete for your attention? Are you able to solve problems with people standing over your shoulder? No matter what your personality is, the core act of creating things is a solitary process.
I was planning to attend this for the first time but I wasn't able to last time: http://www.meetup.com/Hackers-and-Founders-Amsterdam-NL/

Perhaps others who did go can chip in whether it's any good.

Also if you're near Delft I can point you to an upcoming event.
This is a version of the three blind men and the elephant. I promise you there is a sales/marketing message board out there somewhere with a post about how programmers are generally interchangable.

The bottom line is that a successful business needs a LOT of things to come together well, programming is just one of them.

The most important requirement is vision. You need someone with a clear vision of where the company is, where it is going, and how it will get there.

I encountered an interesting example of two constrasting meanings of "outstanding" in the final section of the final report of a multi-million pound research project - it ended with a bullet point list of the "oustanding" areas for the project with the intention of meaning "not settled or resolved" when in context it looked like it meant "Standing out among others of its kind; prominent.".
