Is suicide really the word that should be used here?

Does anyone know what became of the Black Team? Presumably it's a defunct group, but when did that happen, and under what context?
Last summer I did a 14-day juice fast (primarily organic vegetable juice).

After about 3 days of no carbs your body burns off most of the sugar in your body (the liver's glycogen stores) and you go into ketosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis) where your body switches its fuel source from sugar and starts burning body fat for fuel.

Some people who go on these types of fasts talk about the mental clarity they receive after a few days into it. I can attest to it -- the best way I can describe it is going from ADD to no ADD.

When this happens I have assumed it has something to do with the change in the brain's fuel source. I don't know if this is related to sugar being toxic, but I have suspected it might be.
That's not true. Try running the following code:

public class Test

public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Test: " + (int)Math.random() * 100);
System.out.println("Test: " + (int)(Math.random() * 100));
}
}

Show me one cloud offering that gives consistently good or even average disk performance. (hint: there isn't one)

Basically, if you're running a database that does not completely fit in memory you should be on dedicated hardware.

I'd also point out that a lot of advantages that people routinely cite as cloud strengths are more about cloud vs traditional hosting or colocation as opposed to cloud vs a place like softlayer. softlayer can provision a custom build in a few hours (yeah vs. minutes, but who really cares that much) and you pay month-to-month without a contract.

openssh is developed in the openbsd tree, by openbsd developers. there are infrastructure, travel, equipment, and other costs that can't be decoupled from openbsd work. if you want to support openssh, support openbsd developers.

i'm sure if someone stepped up and sponsored an openssh-specific hackathon, they could be "guaranteed" that their money was directly funding more openssh work than openbsd work. but, not surprisingly, nobody's ever done that.

Yes F-22's have lost dog fights, that's why their K:D's ratios aren't infinite. I really don't understand what your point is though, because the F-22 has lost a dog fight it's overwhelming win rate no longer is relevant?

And sure the F-22 is a better dog fighter but it doesn't have active production line and the costs of restarting production are exorbitantly expensive.

The most important climate legislation has bipartisan support: https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/15/how-to-decarbonize-america...

I agree, it's natural that new structures emerge in this kind of power vacuum, but it sounds like Coinbase are explicitly taking measures to fight against it.

> The executive team should lead by example... even after people can safely return to offices, the executive team has no plans to be “in-office” on a regular basis, and none of them currently live in San Francisco. This is one of the most powerful things we can do to keep Coinbase from inadvertently returning to an in-office culture.

If they're serious about this, how far do they have to go? Would an official or unofficial policy of not promoting employees who come in to the office too much be enough incentive?
All three definitely apply to Han Chinese:

- The number of executions is treated as a state secret, but most likely a lot of people are killed every year, including for political "crimes".

- Chinese prisons used to be labor camps by default and many continue to operate as such, including torture and rape by prison guards.

- The one-child policy was all about preventing births and involved sterilizing more than half of all women.

Which makes me wonder why the Canadian declaration is limited to Uighurs instead of also applying to persecuted Han Chinese or members of the fifty-odd other recognized ethnic groups in China. Is it just because Uighurs have gotten comparatively more attention recently?
Cool. But I alreasy had everything I wanted in Firefox, but one thing. Can I please have a non-buggy backdrop-filter: blur enabled and working by default in my Fitefox?
Yeah, because paypal doesn't allow sending and receiving bitcoins to begin with. For sure they block sanctioned individuals or customers from sanctioned countries like any financial institution. And if they implement crypto, for sure they will have as strict compliance as coinbase.

You mean using experimental data rather than theory? It's still connected to the underlying science, which is the key component. It's like saying the difference between a peninsula and an island is one of degree. Yes in a sense, but one is tethered to the land. Certainly engineers can veer off into solely doing software, and there are vast numbers of people that straddle fields. But if they aren't using their fundamentals learned in engineering school (to oversimplify somewhat) you didn't need to hire an engineer.

As for people building design tools, you mean engineers? When I say "top level predominantly" I mean things like this. The top level is the highest level for the software at hand. Practically everyone uses software.

As for research, when it comes to engineering they are generally doing either applied science (of one of the hard sciences) or applied math. Certainly if you go to research conferences in CS or the right niches of engineering, you meet lots of people who are basically just applied mathematicians.
Make a good-faith error when you file your taxes. The IRS will send you a letter detailing what you did wrong per their records, your corrected taxes, and how to correct their records if you disagree.

That’s what happened to me when TurboTax applied too many credits.

That’s when I learned that the IRS had everything they needed to just send me a bill.

Who would you say are in the target audience of Kubernetes?

I doubt most medium to large companies I see implementing Kubernetes could be considered a good fit for Kubernetes. If you want to run on-prem / colo you are probably better of with something simpler like Nomad. If you want Kubernetes it's probably a better idea to use a hosted Kubernetes solution like Google's offering. For most teams it's probably too much complexity to be able to maintain, troubleshoot, secure, update, etc.
> People will NEVER lose interest in a trustless ledger

Not even wrong. Most people never had interest in it in the first place. And even among those who do, it's of no utility in and of itself, only in what it can or can't enable. They will lose interest when the answer is "nothing".

I mean, you sound like a religious preacher. It's sad.
Truth is taxes in the US are pretty easy too; you just have to find TurboTax's free version which they hide. It downloads info from your financial institutions and employers, and asks you all the relevant questions. It remembers your info from year to year, and sends you reminders. You just have to dodge a bunch of upsell offers. TurboTax lobbied the US government to prevent them from building a competing product, and in return they have to offer a free version. So in a way, TurboTax is our official state tax preparation system. Yay free-market?

Thanks for the answer, I haven't thought of using a framework. Looks interesting. Any downsides to using a framework?
I am saddened to see how much effort you went to in order to copy / paste this example everywhere in this thread. It isn’t relevant and has no connection to Scott’s efforts to stay anonymous nor the NYT’s malicious behavior by not respecting his request.

You’ve pasted this everywhere for nothing. It doesn’t contribute to the discussion or count as evidence for anything. It’s just a completely disconnected and irrelevant piece of trivia that you are trying to astroturf onto the discussion as though it had any credible reason to be considered relevant (it does not).
Do you take advantage of previous iterations of the generator and discriminator? i.e. the generator should be able to fool all previous discriminators, and the discriminator should be able to recognise the work of all previous generators?
The road accidents figure likely includes pedestrians, and in the least it includes people in tuk tuk/rickshaws, scooters, mopeds, motorcycles, etc. these aren’t roads with a high frequency of cars hitting cars at high speeds.
The same sort of decomposition can be done towards black culture as well though.

It also strikes me as untenable that one can simultaneously support the notion of "white privilege" while attacking the notion of "white culture" - many things that are commonly-cited as reflective of white privilege are cultural in nature.
I think that raises questions about the quality of the wine more than about anything else. I'm more of a beer guy but I can easily tell white from red wine. Both taste and aftertaste are very different.
The results that should be used to compare their results to others involves training on just under 1.3 million images across the 1,000 classes.

Their best results involve 'pretraining' on a dataset of 300 million examples, before 'tuning' it on the actual ImageNet training dataset as above.
I'm afraid we are talking past each other. I can not answer endless questions on this medium as it doesn't seem to take us forward. I'll leave you with a question though: Why does it bother you so, that others aren't bothered by the same things (or similar) and to the same degree (or similar) and that they do not react in the same (or similar) way? Why is what you see "the one right way"?

I took the liberty to make a few assumptions in my questions but you may also note that it is likewise with your line of questioning.

Cheers,
There is some question about that.

But actually FedEx (Federal Express)
was started in Little Rock. Fred
had bought Little Rock Airmotive,
a corporate aircraft interior decorating,
customizing,
repair, and lube and tune shop.

He dreamed of FedEx, and in a back room
got a Dassault DA-20 Fanjet Falcon,
popular executive jet, 28,660 pound
max take off weight, two GE aft-fan
turbo jet engines (originally designed
for drones; used in the F-5; but with
an aft-fan), a relatively rugged
airplane, e.g., no frame fatigue life,
worked on the modifications
to make it into a suitable cargo
plane, rewrote the official flight
manual for the modifications, and
got the FAA to approve the modifications
and issue the appropriate certificate.

FedEx rushed to 33 such Fanjet Falcons;
that was the initial plan for the
full fleet, serving 90 US cities.
The fleet schedule I did
with my software and Roger Frock
one night was for the 33 and 90.
That schedule overcame some Board
objections that were blocking
some crucial equity funding,
pleased the Board, "Solved the
most important problem facing
the start of Federal Express"
(Fred, at a senior staff meeting),
enabled the funding, and saved the
company.

When I joined, the company was still in
Little Rock.

Yes, the fact that Fred knew Memphis
well was likely also relevant. But fully
likely FedEx would have been in Little
Rock if it had had a suitable airport.

There were some concerns about the
Ohio valley: The whole place could
get socked in with fog, quickly,
nearly unpredictably.

For the hub location,
I observed the decision making;
the description I gave here is
accurate enough;
my criticism that the site selection
was not just a geometry problem
is fully correct; but I was not
involved in the decision itself.
Why does it need to be translated into a single English word? This is the power of "preserving language as reference": I can look up the meaning and cultural context of "namaste," gain that information, and then I can use the word "namaste" as a loanword if there's not a suitable short word in English that conveys the same idea. That's how loanwords happen.

Words aren't these indivisible blocks that exist in the universe outside of us. When we first learn what, for example, a "fish" is, we don't do a lookup in a mental dictionary for the brain-word that means "fish." We learn that whole paragraph about how fish are animals that swim in water and have gills and fins, etc. Then we come up with a name for that swimmy-water-animal-thing, and move on.

If a foreign word or concept is not sufficiently similar to anything readily available in a language, that language grabs the foreign word as a loanword and moves on. That's what languages do. This means it's valuable to have this as a reference, but perpetual storage -- redundancies and all -- in the brains of generation after generation seems inefficient and burdensome to the brains who actually have to expend effort to store it and also compete in a global society. If they want to, more power to them, but I don't know if that's the best mandated investment of resources/time.

The theory that raising children in a multilingual environment impaired development was common in the 70s, but since then an overwhelming amount of evidence has debunked it. The commonly held view now is that raising a child in a multilingual environment will have no impact on how fast the child reaches developmental milestones.

A good introduction to the topic from Paul Bloom (a professor of developmental psychology at Yale) is here: http://oyc.yale.edu/psychology/psyc-110/lecture-6.
You link to Monty's critique of hi-rez audio, yet you speak of how to "take advantage" of a higher quality. But 192 kHz and beyond may actually bring lower audio quality to a human, as ultrasound data may well bring distortive effects into the hearable band unless they are filtrered off. So only in the best case would quality be as good as with normal-rez.
The Duplicate/Save As thing is present in any app that's using the system document-based app frameworks and has opted-in to autosave... you'll see it in most of Apple's apps (like TextEdit, Preview, or Pages) and in some third-party apps (off the top of my head, I know Pixelmator does it, and there are others).
If you look at the comments, it seems like a lot of people agree and are glad to have an opportunity to vent about how OS X has gotten worse lately.
I may be mistaken, as I was only browsing. I was looking at Django's auth system last night (as all of this had me curious about the backend). I don't think that SECRET_KEY is used for part of the salt at all, I think it's primarily used for validation of site-generated data, signing requests, and cookie encoding/decoding.
openssl rand -hex 6

will give you 6 random bytes hex-encoded. Your specific command line can be done with:

openssl rand -base64 9 | cut -c-12

Note, I think you wanted -c-12, not -c12.
Prior experience/information always trumps no experience/information.

In fact, it does not. Your sample of experience may not be representative. This is complicated by various cognitive biases, including confirmation bias as mentioned downthread.

UPDATE: Let me give an example relating to the original post.

Two people, persons A and B, see a hitchhiker on the side of the road. Person A knows nothing about hitchhikers. Person B has seen several sensational news stories about rapist|murderer hitchhikers. In this case, person A will have to rely on their more general knowledge/opinion of people, and will, in my opinion, be more likely to give the hitchhiker a fair chance.
I'll have my stab at making a short explanation without code or lots of technical stuff. So here's some handwaving that may contain mistakes:

Monads are sequential processes, which are combined to make bigger processes. getLine is a monad, so is putStrLn "hello". You can combine two monads into a bigger monad using the >>= operator, which would be the "means of combination" which is extensively discussed in the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs lectures. Simplest monad program I can think of is echo = getLine >>= putStrLn.

I learned monads by doing simple stuff like guess the number and hangman, first writing them in the do-notation (syntactic sugar for a mini-imperative language) and then converting that to concrete notation using >>=.

Monads are not only useful for IO, but also other sequential processes such as parsing, pretty printing, binary file io and stateful inside but functional outside algorithms (ST monad).

Disclaimer: this was written by a Haskell newb, recently introduced to the wonderful world of Monads.
That's a +$20 delta for me, at least.
That salt is a public value. The security of salted password schemes is meant not to depend on the secrecy of the salt.

Every time this topic comes up, 15 people chime in with various schemes in which some of the "salt" is derived from the hostname and some of it is stored in an encrypted vault and some of it is inferred from the color of the user's eyes. This is why Coda is making fun of "Himalayan pink salt".

To understand how irrelevant these details are, consider AES encryption. In addition to hiding an AES key, you can also hide portions of the AES CBC IV (a public value). You could use a random number of rounds. You could mix in tweaks with the round key. All of these things are possible, but (a) nobody analyzes AES based on those random hacks, because they don't fundamentally alter the properties of AES, and (b) nobody does those things, because they are silly.

Gawker could use the best conceivable practices in cryptography to obscure passwords; they could be using Colin Percival's scrypt function (which nobody uses yet) to be (in some way) provably resilient to hardware-assisted cracking. You could still level this criticism at them, for "not doing something to further obscure the encryption they used".

This is not a new argument; what I am re-explaining here is Kerckhoffs' principle.
The only exciting thing I see about C# as a language is that it's dragging the Java programmers a third of the way to ML. What's exciting about the language itself?
Best recourse is usually pop into Discord chan into #v-ui-chat or #help and ask about your issue, unless it's a clear bug and then filing an issue first and then referencing it in Discord might be best.
In open offices, I just used to put head phones on, listen to non-vocal music and be super focused for many hours.

Being visible from behind puts stress on you. You may not be aware of it, but it will catch up with you before you're 35. Headphones don't help for that. It's not just the noise that makes open-plan offices so terrible. Booth-style open-plan offices would be a step up, but nearly as expensive as private offices and since this open-plan thing is really about cheapness (and back-door age discrimination, in some cases) that does not sell it.

Teams in open office often go to lunch together, have more personal exchanges and have far more socialization

This has more to do with the people than the office layout. There are open-plan offices with eat-at-desk culture and there are private-office layouts where people eat lunch together and play board games after work. Private offices don't mean that there aren't open spaces when people want them.

In private offices, I often see people catching up on news websites and FB and in fact I even knew a guy who freely admitted that he spent entire days on YouTube.

I spend more time goofing off in open-plan offices, because I have to hide the goofing off. Here's how it works for me. I have a certain amount of goofing off that I need to do per day, just because I'm a curious person (it's not actual "goofing off", it's just not immediately work-related). In a private-office layout, it might be 10 minutes every 2 hours spent checking the news, on HN or Reddit, reading a poetry book on the internets, whatever. In an open-plan layout, it takes 20 minutes to get that 10 minutes of goofing off in, because even though I don't actually need to hide it (I'm senior enough that I could pull the "so fucking what" card, and no one cares anyway because everyone goofs off a little bit) I still feel that social pressure.
With that little tweak the movie could be almost the same, except it would make actual sense.
