Regarding SPA-based websites, as long as your site has only a few pages, these results are relevant. I would like to see the same kind of test on a site with 1000+ pages for example. I already did this kind of test in the past and it was failing miserably (i.e. only a dozen of pages were correctly indexed).
The first edition did cover everything in one volume, that's probably why.

The second edition is substantially extended and has been split in two and only the first volume has been released yet (the second volume is finaly close to finished, thanks to a Kickstarter).
You have good point here.

The person I choose to believe is the one who talks about radiation balance and p-values and confidence intevals. Then I expect to see peer revieve publication and some peer revieved confirmation. It's also possible to establish somekind of authority to conduct meta-study. This works nicely in medical field.

Someone talking about "99%" of scientists is just distracting. Link the IPCC document and call it a day.
I hate that "Too Many Requests", or "Throttled", or what have you, is a 4xx status code.

It renders simple middleware logic like "retry on a 5xx, don't retry on a 4xx" invalid.

If you'd call it "Server Over Capacity" you could just as well argue for a 5xx code.

I'll take your word for it. I've never noticed such a thing. There's street food all over the place, sit-down restaurants are common, but dessert is vanishingly rare outside of foreign restaurants. The closest thing I've seen to a dessert cafe served waffles. :/

EDIT: I have confirmed that stores exist selling chinese sweet pastries. I'm happy to call this a win for you. (I also got a note saying Guangdong is known in China for the local prevalence of sweets, so Hong Kong would be especially likely to have such a local tradition.)

One person I asked listed 纽约芝士蛋糕 ("New York style cheesecake") as an example of Chinese dessert, so there's that.

That's an interesting analysis, although perhaps the most interesting thing to me is that I can hardly sit through a minute of any of those YouTube voices linked in the article. I find the pacing and "bubbliness" exhausting, and the tone bordering on patronizing.

And yet I find some "Internet personalities" very interesting to listen to, and they're mostly from podcasts. Dave Chen from slashfilmcast.com is a favorite of mine (and yes, I miss Adam Quigley's voice). Many NPR shows (which I listen to in podcast format) are obvious examples.

In fact, the voices really make or break podcasts for me. I never made it past the first 15 minutes of Serial, because I just couldn't sit through the host's voice (clearly this is not a common opinion).
I've suffered with ME / FM for 25 years and it's my firm opinion there are no clean hands in this debate. Doctors, frustrated by an ability to find a conventional diagnosis and thus treatment for their patients, want to try to blame it on psychology. Sufferers, afraid of losing access to medication, or simply due to their own negative opinion of psychological conditions, insist vehemently that their ills have no relation to mental health at all.

Of course, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. ME / CFS most certainly encourages depression in those who suffer from it (both physically and mentally), and depression leads to behaviour (such as spending daylight hours indoors, engaging in minimal activity, poor eating habits) that aggravate ME / CFS symptoms and lead to a downward spiral. The best treatment currently available addresses both the physical symptoms and the mental fallout, and it's my firm belief that therapy and CBT is integral to managing ME / CFS, at the very least to allow sufferers the best quality of life they can have under the circumstances.
That's a good question. Either way, it doesn't look good for the military. Either they're snowed or stupid.
A while back I attended a presentation and the speaker summed it up nicely: "We live in the 21st century, we go to work in the 20th and our kids go to school in the 19th."

And the main hurdle here is not the tech but the teachers. With a few exceptions, teachers are technophobes and they don't have the mindset to support tech in the classroom.
Slightly off-topic, but I found this article useful when implementing a REST-API:

Until a scientist in Australia proved ulcers were caused by bacteria. So consensus was wrong. Very wrong.

Interestingly, among people who have Helicobacter pylori in their stomachs, only a subset develops ulcers. Some people have bacteria, but no ulcer. I don't know if there is a consensus on why this happens, but it is correlated with stress. If you are stressed and have h.pylori, you are more likely to develop an ulcer, compared to h.pylori and no stress.

So the consensus was wrong, but still not a hundred percent wrong.

Maybe you should use TCP instead of HTTP, but there's a number of reasons to use HTTP as basically TCP:

* Browsers can't speak TCP natively (oddly enough)

* HTTP works through proxies

* Most web frameworks do HTTP more easily, same for web servers

Of course, the real solution here is probably to use websockets or HTTP/2, since then you get all the advantages of HTTP without the downsides of TCP.
ive had a lot of success with Locust. It makes it super easy to simulate actual realistic multi-step user flows with state (eg sign up, then create a group, then add some participants etc), and then to probabilistically weight the frequency of each flow (match it up with how freqently your users do particlar actions).
if you do this for say your 3-5 most common user flows, we found you can get a pretty realistic simulation of real load.
You can also distribute the "locusts" over a cloud of servers, coordinated via ZMQ.

I'd say just: "This is the inevitable result of the folly of trying to guess." Guessing without confirmation request has no place in system libraries, nor in any "serious" (read: money-related) application.

Guessing is OK for providing nice defaults that work most of the time, but the user should have the final word.

> In general the OSM community errs on the side of vetoing new initiatives

"New initiatives" are fine. "new bulk data imports" are a different thing. There are many social and technical problems with importing data. De-duplicating data is hard.

OSM, unlike OpenAddresses, wants to have one licence for all the data, rather than lots of little licences for each different region. OSM also (tries) to have one hierachial, address data format for the whole world, rather than a collection of different formats for each region.

> OSM is now a decade old, has millions of registered mappers, and contains less than 60 million addresses.

OSM is more than just addresses.
In terms of the hardware you hold in your hand, you're right. Progress is slowing down as the challenges to moving forwards become harder to solve, and as the reasons to move forwards change (e.g. power consumption over raw speed).

However, in terms of the accessible hardware I think we already have that practically limitless supercomputing power in our hands. The paradigm shift is in the realisation that "your computer" is a device that computes things, regardless of where it computes things, rather than being the beige box in the corner. With a little code and enough cash I can access millions of CPUs and terabytes of RAM from my phone. The fact that computing power isn't actually in my phone doesn't matter in the least.

The computing revolution is the network, not the CPU.
Usually "Throttled" response carries some information when you can retry. So simple middleware logic to retry with some generic timeout shouldn't be used, instead the response must be analyzed to find out the exact timeout.

Probably it's a thin line between client problem and server problem.

The OSM data might look complete, but lots of roads (especially those tagged as residential) are mistagged. cycle.travel is a bicycling routing website (etc), and they ignore "residential" roads in USA that haven't been surveyed.[1] You can help improve the map by fixing them up.

The other missing thing is POIs (Points of Interest). Find an area you're familiar with, and add pubs, shops, cafes, vending machines, bus stops etc.

Non-repeating obviously
If you want to play without external help like a guide or a spoiler, it is almost impossible to get anywhere because the game only gives you little hint of what is happening at a given time.

Using "spoiler file" or wiki, will give you a rough overview of the creature's strength and ability, weapon effectiveness, etc. This is helpful but is not enough to win.

To win you must understand deeply (grok) all the different mechanisms of the game (hunger, prayer, sacrifice, alchemy, intrisics, etc) and then have a strategy.

This guide allowed me to ascend :
https://alt.org/nethack/mirror/homepage.mac.com/mhjohnson/ma...

This is counter intuitive but the early game is much harder, once you have found the right items, identified important scrolls and potions (about finishing gnome mine & sokoban) the game becomes much easier. And if you are well prepared everything beyond the Valley of Death is kinda boring and "easy". For a first ascension, it is probably wiser to chose an easy class (valkyrie, barbarian, knight, wizard).

Key strategy for the early game are : using your pet to identify cursed items, to not level up too quickly because the generated monster will become too tough, when in a desperate spot engraving "Elbereth" with your fingers might save you a few times[0], praying at the right time, etc

A full game with a successful ascension is about 20-30 hours. However you probably need 50-100 hours of failed attempt to learn the rope first. And it can be frustrating at times because even if you know the game better, it will take some times to make a breakthrough and survive the early levels.

Lastly if you really want to learn fast, play on a public server, and when you are in a very tough spot, you can (at least you could) ask people on #Nethack on Freenode for advice.

In the end, the game is very satisfying, because even if there is a big element of luck, once you know the game well, this is your skill as a player that will determine if you live or die, and this is really rewarding.

I live in Beijing and the pollution here is pretty bad at many points during the year (the current streak is not even close to the worse I've seen here).

But I'm always amazed by how much emphasis is placed on China in this regard. I try to follow AQI indexes for comparison and India has multiple cities trending over China most of the time. However, news pieces about it are kind of rare...
That's kind of a weird question to ask. You are implying that somehow Islam is responsible for "the invention of the scientific method and Arab numerals." I don't think that's the case at all... there is nothing in the holy books of any of the major religions that could really be called the scientific method or Arab numerals. Cheerleading because some particular scientist or mathematician had [insert nationality or religion here] is kind of silly.
Yes, but in a somewhat smaller scale. Air quality here is just one of the facets of the pollution issue.
On the client side, whether a GET returned a successful (2xx) or error (4xx/5xx) status is observable for cross-origin requests. This can leak information about the user, particularly if you have cookie-authenticated resources that 503 depending on the user's identity (e.g. Facebook 503ing if you're not friends with X). This can be resolved by requiring a CSRF token or fancy header, but that muddles the RESTful semantics.

A common solution is to make your public API RESTful and authenticated differently from your browser cookie sessions, and make the private web APIs always return 200.

I don't see how SF's anti-chain laws relate to a claimed dearth of new restaurant concepts. In fact, I feel strongly that they have the opposite effect.

In fact, the overall assertion that there are a dearth of new restaurant concepts is highly suspect. I can think of recent restaurants that have opened in my immediate neighborhood that are Burmese, Indonesian vegan, Japanese, Southern, Mexican, French, Californian, Chinese / American Fusion, Thai, places where you buy tickets ahead of time versus taquerias, etc. Any city in the world dreams of this diversity in new restaurants. So while I agree that high rents are pushing up restaurant prices, I see it effecting prices rather than the types of restaurants for the most part (unless you simply mean that everything gets a bit more upscale as time goes on).

I can't envision any foreign multinational chains opening up a Burmese or Indonesian vegan restaurant in northern California anytime soon regardless of anti-chain laws so we should focus on our local businesses if we want to increase diversity
First of all, welcome to the Jing!

Not sure what Leipzig was like in 86, but if you don't find it objectionable here this week, man, you have iron lungs and a high tolerance for smoke-smelling dusty stuff. :)

On a serious note, the news cycle is over hyping it. But there are some pretty bad days. And this week isn't even close to the worst it has been in Beijing a couple years ago.

PS: 4th year here.
POWDER is very a accessible way into the genre if you want to learn some of the skills you need for NetHack, such as item identification. It gives you that same feeling that the author really has thought of how every verb in the game can be used with every item in combination with any part of the game.

Seriously I don't think you really understand the implications here or you aren't taking them seriously, if you did you sure wouldn't be talking about this so nonchalantly. You should seriously shut this down before you get some young programmers/admins fired or worse.

Not yet, but perhaps in the near future. The National Space Society has a proposal up for capturing 99942 Apophis via gravitational slingshot, which would be fairly damaging if we managed to crash it.
130 - 170 AQI is kind of typical. With <50 levels sprinkled throughout the year.

A couple dozen days a year it gets really bad, worse than this current streak.

This is an argument that a lot of people make in a lot of business cases. It is not a correct argument.

Find huge amount. Say "if only X%" (usually 1% or something else low) then increase of 1%*huge amount which is still a huge amount!

Somehow the argument of "if only X%" is meant to avoid the need to prove that you can, in fact, do X%.

1% of extra revenue is hard. 1% time save across the board is hard. If you claim 1%, you better have some strong arguments as to how you can achieve 1%, not do "handwavy do something with synergy or extra information - even if we just get 1% which is a low number, 1% of something huge is still huge. We think we can do more than 1%!".

It is almost as pervasive as hindsight arguments that ignore risk costs. "I put all my money on black at the roulette table and my business is up 100% in the last year - I will bring huge wins to you".
I understand your point in general, but in this case you could probably solve it by building a faraday home, and/or use a frequency that decays rapidly, combined with repeaters around your home to counter your signal suffering decay.
Greenpeace actually said that "The Chinese government’s 'war on pollution' has led to a significant improvement in air quality" [1]. Which is actually true. Believe it or not.
