Consider that tapes require more materials and that the production capacity is near non-existent there is no way they are cheaper than CD's they are probably several times more expensive than CD's these days.

Early on CD's were more expensive but you have completely different fabrication process and royalties to deal with, but today nope.
So it is nothing more than an "indie" thing and like many comments on YT said thank the hipsters and they are kinda right.

I also wonder if there are any bands that do analogue recording since i don't think a single studio exists that isn't digital these days and if it does then considering the price of that rare gear and the expertise needed to operate it it would also be much much more expensive than traditional recording.

The reason Math.pow is so slow is because underneath, it's really doing:

fn pow(x, n): exp( n * ln(x) )

This is how you assure that power operations take constant time regardless of the input. However, exp and ln are relatively slow in numerical computing land, so if you're using small powers simply doing the multiplication out or if you're using powers of two, bit shifting will be faster.

No, it's a primitive. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_primitive:

Commonly used primitives
One-way hash function, sometimes also called
as one-way compression function—compute a reduced
hash value for a message (e.g., SHA-256)

Furthermore:

Cryptographic primitives are one of the building
block of every crypto system, e.g., TLS, SSL, SSH,
etc.
...
Combining cryptographic primitives to make a security
protocol is itself an entire specialization. Most
exploitable errors (i.e., insecurities in crypto
systems) are due not to design errors in the
primitives (assuming always that they were chosen
with care), but to the way they are used, i.e. bad
protocol design and buggy or not careful enough
implementation.

This last bit is usually what is meant by "don't roll your own crypto". Granted, the parent said "encryption", but he meant "crypto", and I thought that was quite clear from the context.
Clearly not context aware: typing "Wonder Woman and Superman" gives:

"Woman" may be insensitive, use Person, Friend, Pal, Folk, Individual instead
"Superman" may be insensitive, use Titan instead

There is a lot of work done in the area of linguistic analysis and word disambiguation, and none of it it's trivial. So it will be a big leap moving from a toy project to something of actual use. Integrating with an existing ML api for disambiguation could vastly decrease the amount of false positives. Idilia, BabelNet/BabelFly and LingPipe come to mind.

A big advantage of LF-delimited over length-prefixed messages is netcat/telnet-friendliness. That was more valuable to us than being binary-clean as our use cases do not involve sending large binary messages.
Let me be more precise then. Goroutines enable a fan out pattern in which each task, even small ones, is a separate asynchronous routine. Tasks fan out from a coordinator routine and their results fan back in:

https://talks.golang.org/2012/concurrency.slide#46

This is great for a couple reasons:

It's automatically concurrent without explicit pooling and locking.

The code flow remains sequential. No callback hell!

It reduces concurrency errors. The locking pattern is naturally acyclic! Nothing races!

Ah, but Go has a big runtime, you say! We can't have that in Rust! Well, here's the same thing in C and in C++:

Coroutines are a wonderful tool for building concurrent applications, and I dearly hope we get them in Rust.

Stateless function components are definitely super exciting (we had been faking this with just Component(function() { return .. }). I'm interested how it handles shouldComponentUpdate though. We do some interesting things in there to deal with cursors, etc, so it would be nice to be able to get into the standard shouldComponentUpdate.

To be fair, the blog post just shows the command output of a test run. That could have been the test runner extrapolating the run time from a longer running benchmark.

The pull-request linked references some Benchmark attributes and all manner of scala magic I don't want to interpret right now.

That said, your point holds and I'd be very skeptical that this benchmark measures what they think it does.
Different exercise results in different hormones and neurotransmitters.

Lifting should stimulate testosterone production to some degree.

Endurance exercise should trigger endorphin releases.

I feel most of the times API structures are decided in meetings on whiteboards and it becomes a pain maintaining context across such meetings. Also with remote teams the same process is usually done over email.

Sigh. The "it's not hard" argument is incredibly myopic and annoying.

There's a huge range of possible environments and combinations of add-ons available with Heroku and a huge range of available DevOps resources across companies. A small startup with no DevOps resources but a complicated Heroku app with fifteen add-ons will find their current setup vastly more cost effective than hiring someone to reproduce that setup on AWS.

People too often fail to account for human costs and just look at pricing tables to decide what's cost effective.

this is awesome! I've been in marketing for too many years but always need more tips on content promotion. It's so hard to actually get your content seen...
Personally, I'm freaked out seeing a LinkedIn profile that is complete, but in a way that signals they might have actually paid someone to make it look that way. I've seen great profiles that really give me a good feel for what someone is up to, but others, like with a cheesy school-photo, just seem like marketing material.
I have the impression that current research by Svante Pääbo shows they likely did.
I don't think that it's fair to describe criticism of this as against being considerate, it's more like, against imposing some people's ideas of how people should talk to each other on to unwitting users of some Internet service. Some people are assholes on the Internet, undoubtedly, and these people take up WAY too much space, but I don't think that this is a sensible way of dealing with the problem. Things like downvoting, blocking etc work by penalising the baddies, not by making everyone confirm to some artificial idea of what intelligent discourse looks like.
That's so true. Believable explanations like "shareholder value", "revenue growth" etc. trumps everything else. As if the one and only valuable asset in life is making money.
Ah yes, that's true. I don't know if 'crippled' as an adjective applied to a non-person would cause people distress, I assume not (though I'd err on the side of caution).

Alas, that's the kind of thing that automated tools will inevitably make mistakes about. It's not doing NLP.

I've been holding back jumping into this because of browser support. But I'm tired of waiting. Flexbox is easily the best most exciting layout mode in CSS, and I need to start using it for site builds.

Responsive the way it was meant to be.

I'll figure something out for iOS compatibility and other mobile browsers that fall short. The benefits and potential are too good.

I don't know why anyone would continue clutching to clunky grid frameworks and the tired old "3 things we do" look when these new layout modes are catching on. So much design potential without the pain means more affordable interesting responsive sites. I just hope the browsers lagging behind in support get their act together (Safari).

Love it!

Just an FYI: The Lenovo W541 and W550 both offer 2880x1620 screens as well as 1080p.

And for Linux users out there, the W541 seems to have fixed some of the ACPI incompatibilities, so the nouveau driver works with the quadro cards out-of-the-box (with Ubuntu, at least). Great compiz performance at UHD resolutions w/ dual monitors. (Apple 27")... I'm loving it!

Only two nitpicks: The left wrist rest gets uncomfortably warm (fairly certain it's the graphics card, as it only really happens when I'm plugged into the second monitor). And the number pad on the right leads to an off-center keyboard.

Neither of these are deal-breakers, as the temp is on-par with the MBP I had been using, and the keyboard is still immensely better than the shallow keyboard on the MBP (Plus, I love the touchpoint.)
I also wonder if there are any bands that do analogue recording since i don't think a single studio exists that isn't digital these days and if it does then considering the price of that rare gear and the expertise needed to operate it it would also be much much more expensive than traditional recording.

I played drums on a record in 2010 that was partially analog. The drums, and the initial guitar and bass were analog, The additional guitars, and vocals were digital.

Then the whole mix was bounced down to tape, and was mastered via analog.

The only way we could afford it was that our guitar player was a tattoo artist, and traded.

The guy at the studio was super excited that he got to use his reel to reel.

"sense of accomplishment" is a buzz phrase that covers actual accomplishment. As in, "both my career and volunteer work give me a sense of accomplishment".

CDs are digital though.. I mean, sure there is the mastering, but you don't get the same analog subtleties that everyone pines for, be it tape or vinyl. I don't think CDs will ever be regarded as a "better format" for listening.

I'm surprised tape is, since it's more limited than vinyl. Vinyl can theoretically encode higher quality audio than CDs in it's own analog way.. of course, it'll all vary with the actual precision it was cut with as well as the precision of the turntable needle. On top of this, some inherit restrictions in Vinyl actually made the loudness wars impossible. I don't recall the exact thing that causes it, but apparently if the signal is poorly mastered for vinyl (ie, too loud), the needle can literally jump out of the groove of the record.
Try riding a bike if you're too heavy to run. I am naturally built for sprinting but I get huge satisfaction out of middle distance running. Over 5k and I start to feel as you described. I also enjoy lifting but it requires a partner, costs money to do and is inside, usually in a brightly lit artificial environment, so I only do it in the winter if at all. The bike on the other hand I can do for 6-8 hours no problem as long as I have enough food on board. I usually only do about 1-2 hours but I could really go for ever and always feel great afterwards. It just takes a little while to get used to sitting in the saddle. The first few rides might result in saddle soreness but after you get used it and buy a good set of shorts you'll never look back.
Elsie.nci.nih.gov--a bituary
Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. I've seen it happen. What could very well be a win/win/win situation for companies (less turnover, lower rates), employees (better health, less burnout), and insurers (lower health risk and fewer payouts) ends up being something that removes a lot of (all of?) the benefit for employees, and just benefits the company and insurers.
A long, long time ago (early 2000s), there was a plugin/add-on/whatever for MS outlook, I think, that would analyze what you wrote and assign it a score from 1 to 3 chili peppers. The angriest, hottest stuff could be prevented from being sent.

It was designed as a way to prevent you from sending an email in haste that you might later regret. GmailLabs had something similar with their email goggles function, that could require you to solve math functions before sending email late at night.*

While those were cutesy examples, this is in the same vein. If you're worried about the sort of thing chilis/GmailGoggles/Alex would catch, then you're probably happy to run a check like that. If not, then don't.

*Gmail Goggles, while a cool feature, didn't really work for the mathematical-minded. Turns out trying to multiply 3-digit numbers while drunk is kind of fun.

> perfectly considerate and inoffensive for quite a long time

No, they weren't considerate and inoffensive. You just didn't know they weren't.

If you don't speak much to gay people, you wouldn't realise certain terms (like, historically, 'gay') were offensive. If you don't speak much to disabled people, you wouldn't realise 'cripple' was offensive. If you didn't speak much to trans people, you wouldn't realise 'tr$&%y' was a slur.

> never with any intention to hurt, marginalize, offend, bother, or in any way cause any trouble

Intention is nice and all, but effect is what actually matters. People will be kinder on you if you didn't intend to be hurtful, but it ultimately doesn't matter if you're consistently actually being hurtful without good reason.

> enforcing softer language will inject love and understanding into people's hearts

Who thinks it will? The idea of considerate language is to avoid normalising things that are unreasonable (not all firefighters are male, don't use 'fireman'), or avoid causing hurt to people (at best a gay person would be irritated by a certain word beginning with f, at worst deeply hurt).

> they distract from things that actually matter to the quality of people's lives

Avoiding discrimination DOES matter to people's lives. Maybe it doesn't to you. But you should maybe listen to the people this actually affects, who may actually appreciate these efforts.

Grabbing a BR drive, in particular if it is a burner, is basically about covering ones behind.
It's been my experience that communties generally work best when individuals are considerate towards one another. Some level of sensitivity towards avoding terms that cause discomfort to others goes a long way.

DevOps style performance monitoring for .NET
High-school mathematics education taught us to hand-execute algorithms to manipulate symbols into equivalent forms. The rules of arithmetic, then the rules of algebra, properties of trigonometry, more algebra, then the obscure edge-case tricks of integration and differentiation.
