Hi,

I recommend changing the UA to something other than "Ruby". Maybe "Watergun-v1" for example. I noticed a couple of probes within a 7mn interval. So is the 15mns worst case?

Good luck!
Also whitespace handling. XML is still based on SGML and its idea that a document is basically a single string of text with certain substrings "marked up" with metadata. This assumption is of course completely false for the overwhelming majority of XML use cases. Yet, it still influences many design decisions and processing steps in the XML toolchain, the most prominent being that simply formatting an XML document may change its contents.

JSON is a lot more "honest" in this respect, in that it's core data model is already useful for many applications, even without additional standards bolted on top of it. (Though those exist, this article being one of them)

The x86 architecture was not amenable to a high performance pipelined implementation, so what Intel did since Pentium Pro is to JIT the x86 instructions into an internal RISCy instruction set that can be executed out-of-order with competitive performance.

The x86 architecture was limited to 32-bit, severely limiting the virtual address space as well as hampering OS implementation with hacks like PAE, so what AMD did is to extend it to 64-bit.

The x86 architecture was not designed for SMP scalability due to the rather strict memory ordering requirements, but most of the architectures with laxer memory models (in particular, Alpha, which was the most lax of all) are out of business today (in fact, of the commercially relevant server architectures today, only POWER has lax memory ordering; SPARC can in theory but is usually configured to run with TSO which is similar to x86).

The x86 architecture was not designed for OS virtualization because various instructions did not trap when executed in user mode, so what Intel and AMD did is define a new protection level ("ring -1") to run the hypervisor so this works efficiently now.

What actual problem do you see with x86 that cannot be solved or worked around by some creative engineering at Intel/AMD?

> Once people decided to monetize

You have it backwards friend. Once people decided you could make money off the internet, innovations came at a breakneck pace. It was the money that fueled web growth. See: the previous internet bubble. As long as you can make money from the internet, there will always be innovation & content. Once that money disappears, so does the innovation since there's no need to innovate since there's nothing in it for people.

Well yeah. Murder laws don't stop people from murdering but that doesn't mean we should do away with the laws since people still get murdered. It's a punishment & massive deterrent. Especially when used in conjunction with the DMCA.
IMHO positive discrimination might only reinforce those prejudices.
"Haha, look at those women, they need a head start!"
"Damm, women are so weak they need lower standards to join the firefighters."
"Women need their own separate tournaments because they couldn't even face the worst male team."
All things I heard.

Which is why, as an enlightened and intelligent person, when you hear things like that it's your job to point out that the positive discrimination is only necessary because of the negative attitudes people have towards minority groups. All the remarks you heard are examples of negative, sexist discrimination. We should all be willing to speak out against it, and all work to resolve the issue of inequality. And that includes defending positive discrimination for the good it does.

> And that includes defending positive discrimination for the good it does.

Does it? I feel you think that's an axiom. Is it? You didn't argue why, and it's the crux of my comment: if it does good or not. I'm not convinced it does good (or bad), but you seem so convinced I hoped you could answer my comment instead of reinstating how good you think positive discrimination is.

I'll quote myself:

> How are we going to get rid of the biological discrimination, to then then get rid of the positive discrimination? I don't think we can. I think we just have to accept it and normalize it and be fine with each person having different aptitudes and traits.

I invite you to read my comment carefully and reflect on it. IMHO it's not an issue as simple as you seem to think it is. And if it is, please enlighten me (I'm genuinely open to it!)

Ugh, these things are a plague. There's a factory in India pumping out most of these. They do a whole bunch of variations, boxes, antiquing, etc. Some sellers on eBay list them as genuine antique instruments, which is straight up deception.

The replicas of box sextants (small pocket instruments in the shape of a round box) are especially hard to spot if the seller is dishonest.

OMG! Is that what is causing that behaviour?! It's frustrating (though not a show stopper) and I was unsure of the cause. Thanks for pointing that out. I will have a deeper look.
This is great advice. One of the best things about doing AABB testing is when your two A groups & B groups don't converge, you can identify bugs in your testing procedure or measure the margin of error (since you know those groups are seeing the same thing and should be performing identically). Seeing two identical A groups with wildly different results will make you more skeptical of generic A/B results & make you more rigorous about your testing.

Funny thing, I worked on a project with a mainframe division, that replaced a crusty old COBOL-based mainframe app with... an RPG mainframe app. In the 2010s. Ostensibly because we could leverage existing knowledge from other divisions under the same parent company, but really because of politics, as these things normally are.

The article goes on to say:

> Yet David Mech, a biologist who has worked extensively in Yellowstone, advises that such simple narrative arcs are hard to find in something as messy as an ecosystem. Mech does not discount all of Monbiot's claims, but cautions that as much harm could come to the wolf from being marketed as the poster boy of the environmental movement as it did in the era when it was hated and feared.

One of the narratives in a re-wilding context is that human are not part of the "wild." Yet in post-glacial areas like Scotland and Yellowstone, where humans arrived shortly after the ice melted, the ecosystem developed with humans as one of the apex predators.

We see this in Australia, for example at http://climatechange.umaine.edu/Research/Contrib/pdf/pdfFile... :

> For thousands of years, desert Aborigines have set fire to the arid savanna, creating an environmental patchwork to which much of the desert plant and animals are specifically adapted. Where Aborigines have been removed from their lands, the desert patchwork has often been obliterated with devastatingly large wildfires.

Humans are left out of the rewilding equation because I think it's drawing from a romantic tradition of what the wild is supposed to be.

It's also location. I never appreciated where I lived until I traveled across the United States. It's being close to mountains, nice mild weather, close to the beach, close to well paying jobs. Never cared about being close to "the excitement of San Francisco" though. I always felt it was a boring city.

For years, certain parts of the Bay Area were kept secret. They have pretty much all been exposed--thanks mainly to the Internet, and I guess Apple/tech? I still regret not buying the small house out in west Marin I could have bought for under $100K. I should have just bought it.

Does the "TrustZone" of iPhones count?
I think there is more to it than just not being able to handle it. Two aspects occurred to me:

Having a saturation point: some people just keep on spending, way beyond what they can actually get comfort and enjoyment from. When poor people have this personality, they spend their windfall and go broke. When rich people have this personality, they also spend almost all the free-floating cash they have. The difference is just their money keeps growing back. However, when their money source dries up, many rich people do indeed quickly go broke as well.

It can take a lot of money to upgrade a life (permanently): for poor people suddenly receiving lots of money, it can seem like all their problems are solved. But upgrading your lifestyle, your family, your social situation can easily swallow up millions of dollars without necessarily "wasting" anything. If you're permanently and hereditarily poor, there is a more profound form of debt than just what you owe to the bank. This debt still needs to be paid, and it can easily be more than the windfall provided.
That's a good strategy, but is solving a different problem. You still have to collect N samples. The proposed strategy is useful for situations where each additional sample has a high cost and being able to terminate early, if possible, is highly desirable.

They're run as sporting estates because that's the only way to monetise the area --- and they have to be monetised because the environment's so wrecked (mostly by the deer) they need to be actively managed, which costs money.

It's also worth pointing out that deer hunting in Scotland is a very, very different experience to deer hunting in America.

What happens in Scotland is that you get taken up into the hills by the gamekeeper, a specific animal is pointed out to you, and you shoot it with a high-powered telescopic rifle from a large distance. You pay very handsomely for this, and you don't even get to keep the animal. You're certainly not allowed to wander around on your own with a gun!

> This seems to correlate with my theory in the OP that we have a knowledge distribution problem in the labour market. Fewer people know certain specialized things and need to work longer because of it.

This might be the case, but I also think that the more complex work gets, it gets harder to split it between multiple people without a lot of organization, so it's "easier" if one person just works longer.

It seems a lot of effort goes into making this tutorial. The guy working on it seems to be running a business.
