This is dead on. Almost every mountain bike ride I go on gets me into a state of flow where I'm not thinking, just doing. It does happen when I run as well, but generally external conditions have to trigger it (awesome music, beautiful day, great views, etc). This feeling is usually accompanied by a general feeling of happiness and punctuated by occasional thoughts of how great and lucky I am to be alive and able to participate in these activities.

I never considered that euphoric feeling during exercise to be the "runners high". I always thought it was the euphoric and satisfied feeling I have _after_ exercise that is the high. I pretty much always feel great afterwards unless I really over exerted myself.
First of all you know nothing about me and that's fine.

Second just because you live in Hong Kong or Shenzhen it does not mean you know anything about China. Especially these 2 do not reflect anything at all about China. And that is fine that might be the reason why have you chosen them and not the other places in China.

Third. You do not seem to speak the Chinese language.

Fourth. Just because you have a positive prejudice towards China does not mean you are right.

Fifth. If you would know something about authoritarian regimes and especially China or NK you would know that hiding and punishing beggars is a common practice to save face.

Sixth. Please educate me how country of 1.3bn has a lot less beggars and violent crimes than US a country of 320m.

Seventh. If you have never lived in a communist country you surely can't be aware of propaganda and hiding of crimes. Ask some chinese friends of yours how hiding crimes, especially the violent ones goes in China. How it was in every communist state. You will be surprised.

Eighth. I understand you like China/Chinese more than Americans but do not close your eyes before the crimes of these regimes I am begging you. For all of those that died and suffered in gulags

Ninth. I recommend you to visit countryside and especially the northern region if you have the balls.

Risks with retirement target funds

Because despite all the propaganda, they are not here to protect you, the people but the government or whoever is in power. I'm sure the NSA could have prevented some school shooting but unlike terrorism that threatens the government directly, mass shooters do not.
I use KeePass Password Safe ( http://keepass.info/ ) supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, Rijndael) and the Twofish algorithm to encrypt its password databases. And it’s free and you have full access to its source code. KeePass will also support YubinKey. Here is a link on setting up a YubiKey with KeePass (http://keepass.info/help/kb/yubikey.html ).
For anyone thinking about jumping to KeePass - consider the fact that they're still hosted at SourceForge.

That's a major red flag for me and I've been keeping my eye out for an alternative for a while now.

Haha it was a literal no true Scotsman dismissal. That's funny. That being said, I'd really love to hear the opinion of a smaller town Scots(wo)man who has traveled/lived other places on their opinion of card/cash "culture" vs other first world countries if they are any around here.

The reason I went to the place I went was because the primary purpose of my trip was to visit someone.
That line of reasoning would take the shape of a "no true scotsman".

As long as we're talking about alternative hardware architectures that can enable computation speeds otherwise not possible, we ought to include parallel computers, GPUs, FPGAs in the mix. The connection machine doesn't count?

Why exclude FPGAs? As long as I can have a program that will reprogram an auxiliary FPGA to do what I want more efficiently, it counts as an alternative processor with a potentially odd architecture where a gate acts as a switch in one program and works as a memory bit in another. They are named "programmable" for a reason.

I totally agree that the "penalizing" approach is important.

But I like to present both a solution "this is how you make it fast" as well as the penalty.

If you only take AMP as a guide or tutorial that puts current best practices in a neat package that is fine with me. We are totally not claiming to have invented a new wheel.

Browsers could do what AMP does (e.g. super lazy prerendering) but I'm an impatient person and I don't like waiting for what a browser with a yearly release cycle might do.
Gah, school lunches and nutritional recommendations make me so mad.

Everyone thought eggs and butter were unhealthy too. 6-11 servings of grain though! The "food pyramid" was beaten into my head repeatedly as a child, with some suspicious board of agriculture sponsored exercises too. Turns out it was total bullshit.

We feed our kids the worst garbage, at least we did from 1992-2005. A nation should want its kids to grow up big and strong. But nope, let em eat french fries and pears in heavy syrup.

Two months is a lot of time to take off work, though you have to be making a lot of money before it isn't cheaper to do it yourself if it takes you the same amount of time.

It's also the fact that elemental mercury's toxic side effects are really hard to quantify and see because it fucks up the central nervous system, and is of more psychological detriment. Note that this is elemental mercury, not methylmercury, which only happens from predatory bio-accumulation in fish.

Over the years OSHA has consistently been lowering their safe mercury exposure levels (blood tests), and it's fast approaching "No mercury exposure at all is best."

I used to work in a lab with a ton of mercury in it, and some lab workers who were quite liberal with their handling of mercury, and liberal over 20 years. I don't know if they were crazy from the start, but I didn't want to find out.
Sure, but why conclude that the relevant "something" that is different is homogenization?
I've been working full-time while pursuing passion projects in hopes of eventually starting a company. You've hit the right pain point with time being the challenge. I have frequently found myself wanting to dedicate more time to my company. However, with a family and other financial responsibilities, it's a challenge for sure. That said, I'm not prepared to give up on my dream no matter what the circumstance is. And in all honesty, working full-time does also help me to learn new things and develop skills that I need for my startup so there is a point to being employed first as opposed to just going all in.
I've been a serious 1Password user for ~3 years. Love it. Mac OSX app, and Chrome plugin are amazing. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. However - don't think about using 1Password if you're on a windows machine - their windows app is really janky and works just enough to be usable

A lot of folks only have experience with Logmein from the horrible way they handled transitioning users from the free to paid service.

My company has used Logmein Central for remote access to hundreds of PCs for years. The core software is great, reliable, and has been ever since we started using it.

The problem is that Logmein the company knows they're on top of the heap when it comes to remote management. They have no reason to innovate or improve where they can.

They added 2FA but otherwise we haven't seen a single new feature that we've taken advantage of in a very long time. Any features they do add hint at them wanting to be a RMM service but you'd have to be an idiot to trust them with more responsibility of your networks. Also a lot of those features require Logmein Pro which adds an insane amount of cost depending on how many systems you're managing.

Meanwhile there are bugs that have been around literally since we started using the software. For instance copy/paste while in a session will randomly break. The Logmein client software is very buggy on OSX, crashes often, search will randomly break.

Their support is basically non-existent, although I haven't tried in a while if you opened a ticket it would take days if not longer for a response and they'd usually just direct you to some unrelated KB or tell you post on the forums.

We use Lastpass as well so this should be interesting. I've yet to see a merger that actually improved things from our end as a MSP. Cisco bought Meraki, Dell bought SonicWALL, at this point I assume any time we see a merger that its time to find a new vendor.

Suppose TPP-Protected Corporation XYZ moves its manufacturing to Town F in impoverished country ABC. This is allowed because, look at all the jobs XYZ creates! XYZ finds it much cheaper to dump excess waste products into the local river. Many citizens of Town F die from the numerous poisons it dumps in the river. Local Government of Town F would like to stop XYZ's pollution, but XYZ is now allowed to override local laws and take Country ABC to a private tribunal to "deal" with the pesky citizens complaining about dying.

>Modern day humans no longer trust the instincts they have developed over millions of years ... or what kind of foods to eat.

Really? This is a naturalistic fallacy. It's out precisely our instincts that cause us to overeat. As has been pointed out our instincts haven't adapted to the abundance and availability of food seen today. In an environment where food is scarce it is evolutionary advantageous to ensure your body had enough calories to make it until the next available meal. And this didn't mean picking the most nutritious food sources, we didn't have that luxury, it meant picking the most available. Only as directed by science do we now know what foods provide the most benefit or determent to our health.

VVatch – Stop searching, start VVatching
I spent a few years designing new parallel algorithms on a number of supercomputing architectures that I enjoyed immensely, mixed in with my usual database work. I learned a tremendous amount about software design and optimization I probably would have not learned otherwise. There is a lot of knowledge in HPC that tends not to travel beyond that domain. It gave me the "assume you have a million cores..." mindset when thinking about algorithms and data structures.

In fact, debugging an HPC code on a Cray machine late one night, staring at large dumps of binary coded hyper-rectangles, was where I first noticed the deep bit-wise patterns in some types of spatial representations that SpaceCurve now exploits. It allows computation on hyper-rectangle primitives to be nearly as fast as integer primitives on ordinary silicon, which was not the case with earlier versions of my work.
What annoys me are people who speak out of ignorance without really knowing what they're talking about, but like to give the impression to others they do.

I actually like some things of the init daemon part of systemd.

But systemd is not only an init daemon anymore and the systemd developers work actively to cut off everything that is not systemd (see the udev saga as an example) or make idiotic decisions (NTP server defaults?). And that, in addition to some other things (why should udev be part of systemd? Why should be there an arbitrary limitation in core files size? See also [1] for more) left me very worried. And I don't like journald at all, rsyslog does almost everything already.

And the way Fedora integrated kdbus before it was put into the mainline kernel? That's ridiculous, sorry.

The need to make another 'su' because the older one was not good enough in the mind of the developers?

And now 'systemctl is-system-running'? Wat?

Times changed. The Pentagon (who owns school lunch program) set their standards because they rejected too many recruits for malnutrition in WWII, usually insufficient calories/stunted growth.

The 50's saw that change with widespread refrigeration and more varied diets. The standards should have changed but once instituted change comes hard.

Now the Pentagon responds to obesity by restricting school lunch calories. Misguided in my opinion; school kids are growing fast and need good calories. Restrict calories at lunch, and the kids eat junk after school to make up for it. I would much rather schools provided unrestricted salad bars etc. instead of trying to put all the kids on a diet.
I can quickly and succinctly describe the traits and benefits of HFT:

Replacing slow expensive humans with fast and cheap computers has dramatically reduced the cost of trading. You can see this because buy/sell spreads have shrunk by at least 10x.
Going beyond this being a minor optimization that isn't going to matter for most people, my guess is that they probably don't reorder structs because it may not be what the programmer intended. When you start introducing mechanisms for altering how the compiler sees a certain piece of code (like a struct definition), then you also need to give the programmer a way of expressing which thing they want the compiler to do, like with __attribute__ in C. Adding that feature in a straightforward way would probably involve introducing more syntax, which Go wants to avoid.

I have. Lithium is mined from a brine on the surface, versus strip mining. Its neutral from an environmental impact perspective. Lithium batteries are almost fully recyclable except for the insulation (which is currently landfilled).

> A dramatic drop in violent crime since the 1970s because the "self-appointed masterminds" restricted lead.

I'm somewhat skeptical about that; while lead may be a contributor, there's fairly strong indication over a long period of time of age demographics being a key driver in crime rates, and the curve of the crime wave is fairly consistent with that, making an additional explanatory factor unnecessary.

That's just it though—each task is a completely separate application. You're comparing all of these applications (one of which is an init system) to just an init system (sysvinit).

Whether a distribution chooses to include timesyncd or another ntpd doesn't magically make timesyncd an init system.

If sysvinit also included an ntpd client, _then_ it would be appropriate to include that module as well for a fair comparison of SLOC.

Another example would be to take vim, counting the SLOC including a bunch of downloaded plugins, _then_ comparing that number against emacs without any plugins.

It's comparing apples to apples and oranges simply because they're in the same basket.
Just a note - the 1Password Mac app is MILES ahead of the 1Password app. I've been using both for about 3 years now, and the separation is only getting larger. 1Password is smooth, fast, and fluid on Mac OSX. 1Password works, but is none of those on Windows.
One thing about Gobo is that it does not try to enforce any specific layout outside the distro itself. Heck, the last version basically have a legacy layout inside /System/Index.

This so that it is less likely that anything with hardcoded paths will throw a hissy fit.

Frankly Gobo demonstrate the massive flexibility of classic unix tools, as most of it is shell script and symlinks. There is perhaps a few binaries, purely for performance (and those are third iteration, the first being shell script, the second Python).
