This stuff is hard to explain textually as it's more about feelings you have, but if I were to try.. during meditation bad memories will enter your focus and set off a cascade of negative reactions. But the deeper into the meditation you are the harder it is to shake your focus. Instead you end up observing these patterns of thoughts and how they evoke one another. Your let them have their moment in the sun and then they fade into the background as they failed to provoke you. Some stuff I've read suggests that the brain also may rewire these memories to permanently have less of an emotional impact. After many sessions you literally have to go out of your way to bring these memories back up!
Thanks - couldnt find this before
@amelius It's been in my experience "results" vary widely with a lot of people. Part of the reason is that calmness is not the ultimate aim of meditation, but rather, a side-effect.

For some people, the practice of meditation will quickly surface up a lot of anxiety and existential issues. It won't feel calm at all. Having been lured into thinking calmness is the end-goal, meditation is written off as "not working", when in fact in this case, it worked all too well.

Just some food for thought. I had written quite a bit more on different threads:

We've been using a concept of a "esnextguardian" to be what our package.json main points to, it then tries and loads the es6+ version and if that fails, fallbacks to the compiled es5 version. It's been working quite well for all our different Bevry projects. More info: https://github.com/bevry/base#esnextguardian
Benefits also include having your baggage held by an employee and requiring your ID to reclaim it, which should also reduce baggage theft as well. I've heard of photographers packing their expensive gear with cheap starter guns (used for racing) in order to get this benefit.
Wasn't there also one with Rails and Merb?
You're exactly right. Otherwise, this logic would lend support to, for instance, the notion that the moon landings were faked, merely because other conspiracies have turned out to be true. And nobody that's sane really thinks the moon landings were faked, so we find that other conspiracies being true doesn't really help with evaluating any given conspiracy.

Or maybe more succintly: we need more Edward Snowden and less Alex Jones.
The problem there is density. If it's still mostly 1 or 2 people per vehicle you haven't really solved anything.

Which VirtualDOM libraries do people use?
Obviously React is a popular library, but it is really slow compared to many other VirtualDOM libraries (cito, uix, virtual-dom, etc). See http://vdom-benchmark.github.io/vdom-benchmark/. Seems like some people are using Mithril, but it's not faster than React. Are people actually using any of these other VirtualDOM libraries in production?

His record, though tarnished, will be more than enough for many places that will take him. Does he have a family or children? I suppose not, as fathers are (anecdotally) more risk adverse. If he chooses to have a family, I suppose that his decisions may change.

I really have to say it, and I'm sorry to say so, but its things like this that keep people on AWS. Google Compute still has the feel of an experiment versus a business, and you don't want your critical infrastructure on someone's experiment.

2 minutes is provided by AWS to give you time to checkpoint your process(es), get logs off the box, and to remove from an ELB if its attached to one. Doesn't matter if you get a new VM for me spun up fast if I can't finish up housekeeping on the ones being terminated.
Being the jewel of the Bay, San Francisco should aspire to something more interesting than near-constant subway construction.

I agree that it's possible to build successful Node apps, but of all the languages I use, it's the most difficult to keep up to date with and most likely to cause problems.

If you're reading the mailing lists, going to meetups, etc, these things might not seem like huge issues. But if you're just trying to run a small Node project as one amongst many bits of software in many languages, Node causes a disproportionate number of problems.

I've given a couple of examples below - Zombie switching to io.js, and the whole self-signed certificate debacle from a couple of years ago.

10 of the most effective growth hacks (from a pro)
It's not really about nixing unhappy thoughts. A lot of people misunderstand that as the purpose of meditation. It's possible to get into bliss states through some form of concentration exercises, and among my friends, we call them bliss junkies.

Rather, it's the avoidance of unhappy emotions and thoughts that create distortions, leading to neurotic emotional and mental patterns. These emotions and thoughts will arise on their own regardless of how you try to suppress them (and often times, suppressing them will make them grow stronger).

The basic practice is very simple at it's core: what arises will arises, what passes will pass. So when it arises, you allow it to arise -- and remain aware. When it passes, you let it go -- and remain aware.

As things that have normally been suppressed start surfacing up, it's as if you are "sweating out" these toxic thoughts. It will get worse before it gets better.

It goes deeper than that, since detoxifying isn't the ultimate aim either. It's the direct experience that what you think of as "self" is really an illusion. It's only after that, that things start get really interesting.
That's likely out of scope for node.js. I'd recommend checking out leveldb: https://www.npmjs.com/package/level
@hacker_9 there are various "acceleration" techniques to help surface things up faster.
This. Regional and state-wide transit is all connected. The high speed rail project also includes regional upgrades like the electrification of Caltrain.

2 hours and 40 minutes from downtown SF to downtown LA by train beats flying once you factor in transport to and from airports, security checks etc. Not to mention that SFO and LAX can't increase capacity to follow demand. The high speed rail project makes a ton of sense.
I'd be interested to see SF experiment with increasing their tolls to reduce congestion.
Well odds are there exists something relevant, but it probably falls under "quantum mysticism" or other such quackery (e.g. transcendental meditation has actual scientists backing it but you gotta pay 1000$ for the privilege and it's really a cult). Science and mysticism/philosophy don't really mix.

When you're doing meditation, especially no-mind meditation, physical processes are irrelevant, indeed the entire world is irrelevant. Looking for explanations or theories or systems in the scientific way is, on one hand, hard/impossible due to subjectivity and on the other, goes against the entire practice since you're inventing even more dualities and thought constructs when you should be tearing everything down!

There is no alternative to var before ES6, so of course your only option is to use it. If you use any of the various compilers that introduce let and const, it is recommended to use them over var. These compilers basically just check, at compile time, those variables satisfy the correct behaviors of let and const and just converts them to var for ES5 and below.

SF could also, you know, get rid of stupid laws that prevent building more housing, and, I dunno, maybe try to get people to stop peeing and pooping on the sidewalks.

But that's in a perfect world where the local govt cares or has been properly incentivized. (Bribed.)
The Node library is massive, and tightly coupled to V8. The changes that bumped the major version weren't major changes for most people, just for those who happened to be using the parts of the library that changed. Maybe that's a deficiency in semver (or the way io.js used it), but going to v4 in one year isn't as unstable as it sounds; it's just following Chrome's example of not caring how big the version number gets, so long as the semantics make sense.

I believe the io.js community was in the "ship or get off the pot" camp, and found it silly that Node was a critical piece of infrastructure at firms like PayPal while still technically not having had a GM release. By forcing the issue, they got Joyent to commit to major version changes twice a year, which sounds like a reasonable compromise between everything-changing-all-the-time and we-can't-have-new-things-because-legacy.

Yes indeed in order to spawn the Diablo Clone, you have to sell SoJs.

No one knows what the exact number of SoJs is, so a community was created and it used irc.dclone.org as the IRC server to manage all of this and collect data over time. This gave some historical data on how many SoJ's were sold for a certain IP address before that server "popped" (the clone spawned)

Each Diablo game you create, has a unique IP address.

Let's say you're on a server with IP 123.123.123.XXX

When you sell SoJ's, all servers that end with XXX will eventually spawn a Diablo Clone and receive the "XYZ SoJs have been sold to merchants" message.

People would gather on irc.dclone.org and pool together say 100-150 SoJs on the NON-LADDER mode. Items were cheaper on NON-LADDER, so the SoJ's were sold on a NON-LADDER server, but, the people who organize the event, would in advance hog the predetermined servers that end with XXX on LADDER mode. That way, they'd get the annihilus charm the clone drops and it'd be worth more.

So in essence, you're selling the SoJs on the NON-LADDER servers, but their effect propagates to the LADDER servers. Thus, your returns are much higher.

In order to find these servers, you'd use a similar AutoIt bot to basically create a game every 3 minutes and use some basic netstat commands to extract the IP address and once a game has the .XXX address you want, the bot will idle in it, until your group spawns the diablo clone.

A private diablo clone spawning event would typically go in the following order:

1. Get number of people to transfer SoJs to one account (buy-in is usually 10 SoJs/person assuming ~10-12 people party)

2. At time T, the SoJs selling will begin

3. Announce the IP address XXX at (T - 5 hours), this will give you 5 hours to search for game servers with IP address XXX.

4. Start selling SoJs at time T

5. Clone Spawns, everyone kills the clone in the games they have found, and collects the annihilus charm.

When I was doing this regularly, an unidentified annihilus charm was worth $20-$30 on ebay, one with perfect or near perfect stats could go up to $100.

I keep waiting for train travel to fall into the TSA trap. I used to use Amtrak 'twixt Indy and Chicago a bit, and once in Chicago the TSA did set up for quick checks.
Is it just me, or is this obvious? Subways have proven over and over to be the most economical and least objectionable mode of mass transit wherever density is high enough to support them. Any place where subways are viable should have them - buses, trolleys, and light rail are not a substitute. It follows that any place with growing density needs to build more subways, even if that means eternal construction. Besides, subway construction is hard to get upset about, being mostly underground. It's far less disruptive than tearing up streets or surface level rail.
I agree. It's achieving 'dominant design' and a sign of maturation. Once, there were many designs (many car startups too) for a car steering wheel. At some point, they converged on the idea of a round gizmo, because it balanced utility and design, form and function... And lucky for us, designers moved onto other things.
Effective ride-hailing services like UberPool and Lyft Line make congestion pricing feasible. Congestion pricing can banish traffic from the face of the planet.

Our roads can move a certain number of vehicles per minute at their maximum throughput. When more cars attempt to access the road, throughput goes down. Set the price of driving on a road at the level that maximizes throughput.

As prices go up, some people won't be able to afford to drive alone. Instead, they'll pick up paying passengers, or pay another driver for a ride. As more people desire to travel in San Francisco, the price will go up, and more people will share a van (or a bus!) to get where they need to go. Traffic won't come back.

Today, San Franciscans pay for their commute by sacrificing time they could spend with their friends and family. Instead, we should pay by sacrificing personal space during our commutes.

Subways are an unnecessary expense when our streets are so poorly utilized. We can triple the capacity of our roads by charging a price that keeps traffic moving.

That's a tough commute to school. The kid isn't just taking a train. The kid has to take the Yamanote line, one of Tokyo's busiest lines, and change at Shinjuku station, the world's busiest transport hub.

Japan has very low speed limits in dense areas: 40km/h in cities, 30km/h on side streets. That reduces the risk to pedestrians a lot.
Haha yeah. This and SymbOS are what we might see in an alternative future if all the chip fabs announced: "Ok. We tried to scale. The physics were just impossible. You have to keep using the same hardware and just do more with it."

I've used both Rails and Laravel. The past two years I've been doing more and more Laravel work. Clients seem to be more comfortable with their apps being PHP based vs Ruby/Rails that they aren't as familiar with.

I would recommend learning Laravel.

It's a great framework with lots of great tools.

Homestead and Forge save tons of time and make deployment really easy to Digital Ocean or AWS.

Laravel spark looks really promising to speed up SaaS app development.

And laracasts.com is a great place to learn.

Rails is elegant . . . Laravel while not quite as elegant is similar and might even be improving/innovating to be a better framework.

Good luck.
I'm not sure if we can do good enough physics simulations in real time so that the behavior of manipulator grip on e.g. a bottle cap and the stumbling of the bottle cap against the bottle as you push it around matches reality. Perhaps we can, but not with the common physics engines used in unity3d games and physics demos.

In any case, dealing with the actual physical actuators and sensors, their limitations and feedback is the hard part of the problems - if you have a solution that works perfectly in a virtual environment, then IMHO you have achieved something like 10% of the progress needed to do the same in real life.

"Jim Olson remembers being ridiculed. It was 1989 and he was defending his PhD thesis, and the bank of University of Michigan professors asked what his next goal would be. “If we can bring radioactivity into these tumours for PET scanning, I would love to find a way to bring light into the cancer so that surgeons can see it while they’re operating,” Olson told them. The professors chuckled. “Okay, Buck Rogers,” one of them heckled, “but what are you really going to do?”"

So, as little as 25 years ago we still had a myopic view of technology. Anyone else feel like we've probably wasted a lot of valuable years?

No such example; after all, you can spawn a shell subprocess in any of those.

There's just certain types of tasks where you can more clearly express your intent in a shell script. If, for example, you need to spawn a ton of subprocesses, you can do that in any scripting language, but shell is designed from the ground up to launch subprocesses — it's most basic purpose is to launch programs.

And so while I can't give an example of something that can only be done in a shell script, here's a shell script that I wrote a few weeks ago that would have been a pain in the neck to express in any other language:

#!/bin/sh
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
for test in *.in; do
test="$(basename "$test" .in)"
infile="$test.in"
outfile="$test.out"
output="$(./whofrom "$infile" 2>&1)"
expected="$(cat "$outfile")"
if [ "$output" != "$expected" ]; then
echo "Failed test $test"
echo "Expected: $expected"
echo "Actual: $output"
echo
fi
if ! valgrind --error-exitcode=1 --leak-check=full ./whofrom "$infile" 2>/dev/null >/dev/null; then
echo "Failed test $test"
valgrind -q --leak-check=full ./whofrom "$infile"
echo
fi
done
C++

Assume you have a class Foo, and this:

const Foo fooInst(1, 2, 3);

if you try to call a method foo.bar() you can't, unless that method bar() is also marked const with this type of signature:

int bar() const;

Meaning that bar returns an int, but can't assign to any fields or call any other non-const methods.

Although, it does have this hideous const_cast<> operator that anyone can use to break these rules.
