We need a language optimized for human->computer->human. We already have a few, they're called GUIs. But there's little to no standard surrounding them. Sure, some patterns like "x" to dismiss something or pinch to zoom are widespread, but they don't constitute a complete language.

The binary equivalent is Akinator [1]. It's big on Tinder too.

Basically, you want a language that lets you point at things you don't like. This gets converted to a need, which is then communicated to an array of agents whose job is to come up with solutions. Then enters the flow where you pick a solution (most of which come with conditions, such as completion time or cost), which then becomes a contract that feeds the timeline/calendar/task management system that drives your day to day actions. There's not a lot more to it.

I was just having this conversation with my Father In-law (Tea Party are a bunch of liberals to him)

Me: Upper Class is taking Middle Class' money.

Father In-Law: How so? This is the way it has always been. This is how economies work the rich are the engine of the economy. Nothing new just poor people wanting a free lunch.

Me: This has never been like this ever and no one is seeing or carrying. Our GDP is through the roof in growth and the Upper Class is eating all the profits. Old Money does little to no work for the money they have inherited or given so why is it always the working poor are considered lazy?

(Spare you the rest)

Now I have more proof.

>Not just for one store: just for The Store.

Fair point.

I live in a rural area where I'm sure a majority of people shop exclusively at Walmart. For someone like that, it would probably be a great app to have. I shop at Walmart too, but not as often as my local grocery store and specialty shops. I would much rather pay in one, standard way at all of them instead of some patchwork of differing methods: EMV card here, mag swipe there, NFC here, take a picture of a QR code there. It just adds hassle on top of the direct advertising platform(s) I would be voluntarily installing to my device. The benefits just aren't worth it.
It's the combined plot for pretty much every Asimov book they appear in. That's discussed in the linked video, as well as the grand picture of why they don't really make sense as "laws" since they're basically impossible to define without first defining all of ethics.

I've never had to do this to use Apple Pay from my watch. Is this the flow for chip and pin cards (I've only got chip and signature)? If so - that's fucking terrible.

> ...their supposed target demographic is developers who are quick to cut through marketing BS and skip to the details.

Although developers are their end users, they don't make up the entirety of the site's target audience. From my other comment in this thread:

As ridiculous as it sounds, the design of a software company's marketing site affects the impression a buyer will have of that company. A site that looks like it hasn't been updated in years can make someone think the software itself is outdated, or the company is slow-moving, or the company isn't growing anymore. If you're the CEO, CMO, or head of sales at JetBrains (or any other software co), that is NOT what you want people to think of you.

Super cool theme. The company seems to be at https://gyrosco.pe/. They lost me at the facebook login, but it made me think about privacy and user-defined privacy a bit.

Gyroscope's pitch says you can share or instead keep everything private. I think a service like this would be a lot more appealing to me (and it is undeniably cool) if the data were kept encrypted on server, and only available on my end device.

I suppose the same thing could be done with some sort of multiparty destination encryption for sharing.

Until then, my data is just getting monetized for any party that will pay gyroscope. Any comments from your team, aprilzero?

To this date, the breaches were not disclosed publicly.
I'm a bit surprised that 1.0 came before macro-awareness (i.e., knowing that symbols emanating from macros aren't "undefined").
But he did mention the ends of the political spectrum. The absence of the middle, the status quo makes an implicit statement. The middle is just as culpable. People who are comfortable with things as they are are not neutral. They ought to be put on the same footing as people who are not comfortable with things as they are.

There is a de facto unanimous moral framework in the West. It is the moral framework of the states and supranational institutions like the UN, the IMF, etc. Authoritarian ideologies always try to make themselves invisible, neutral, but they are not.
I quite like the new branding. It's bright and creative, stands out from the minimalism currently in vogue, and gives them lots of leeway for designing distinctive logos for different products that still reference the overall brand.

I think the splash page is a strange choice though, and I don't see why they wouldn't have a static svg fallback of the logo.

Gogs – Contributing Code
I try to use Android Pay when I can just for the security benefits of the one-use tokens. Sometimes it's easy, other times it takes forever.. particularly if my cell reception isn't great in the store. Once all stores truly make use of the card chip in the United States, I'll probably just use that because it's essentially the same thing. At this point probably 95% of the stores I shop at still want me to swipe the card rather than enable the chip receiver.

Little Bites of Cocoa #144: Drawing Multiline Strings
Here [1] is the BMO ticket tracking this. I guess the main reason it hasn't been implemented is that there have been several issues with other browsers' implementations, as mentioned in the bug ticket. And every now and then, a new one pops up. You can still get the feature by using NoScript.

There's a better solution though: CSP. Yes, it requires action from the site owners and is a bit of a pain to implement on an established website, but it's very effective at fighting both reflected and persistent XSS, and it can prevent other attacks too, such as content exfiltration using dangling markup injection.

Ahmad English No. 1 loose leaf, when brewed at 208-210 F, steeped for about 5 minutes, tastes lovely with nothing added. It's not astringent or bitter and has a clean full taste, with a hint of bergamot. For a blend I think it's lovely, and it's my go-to everyday black tea.

Also, the OP was incorrect; there are no tannins in tea. Bitter & astringent flavors in tea are caused by a different group of polyphenols (primarily catechins in green teas and theaflavins/thearubigens in black). Polyphenols bind with salivary proteins that reduce salivary lubrication. Since both temperature and steep time determine what gets extracted from the tea and how much, it's important to get both right to get the flavor right.

Get dang to ask me to stop, and I will.

Maybe not quite the same thing - but I do something similar. When I'm trying a new thing that requires physical endurance I set a pace in which I could "do the thing for many many hours" even though I know it's probably going to be much less than that.

For example - I recently went on a bike ride with friends where we climbed an unknown (to me) hill. I slowed down a bit to a pace I could maintain long term. I was one of the first to the top. :-)

Completely disagree. For me it actually gave the impression that things might be going in a better direction for them. I can only hope the desire for design gets put into their products. They're currently stuck in the 90s in UX.

It's always going to be an open-source standalone CMS, and nothing will change that. Even an Aldryn-based django CMS site can be made into a standalone site very easily, so django CMS will never depend on Aldryn in any way.

We're always trying to find the right balance for the way django CMS is developed. The fact that there is a team dedicated to it at Divio is what has made this step forward possible in a way that would not have been in the past.

We also continue to rely on community input and effort, and that's not going away.

How to Scale Your Organization with Kanban
Looks sharp, definitely a lot of great work on design.

I just can't seem to see the value in it; what actionable or information do you get out of this? I've tracked my movements with OpenPaths [1] in the past and had fun building a couple data visualizations out of it (I love the fact that others can request access to anonymized data collected by OpenPaths).

I just have no anecdotal or empirical evidence of users putting this data to good use. If anything, folks I've seen using Fitbit/FuelBand could use a bit more exercise and a better diet. People tracking their sleep activity tend to stay late and have poor sleeping habits (for example).

Do you really need a fancy dissection of your every move and interaction to even know what you should be doing with yourself?

The take-away, to me, is to append one more variable when we consider wehat goes in our mouth: the bioavailability / effect in your microbiome.

"We realize a diet like this doesn’t lend itself to being packaged and sold. It emphasizes how to think about food in the context of one’s microbiome, rather than prescribing a narrow choice of foods, counting calories, or advocating “dieting” as a daily activity. This advice is far from sexy and certainly not earth-shattering."
I think it's her storytelling that makes her voice sound compelling... Because you know you're going to hear a good story.

That's an interesting article, for sure. It also applies to what I've been diagnosed with as well. Type 2 diabetes.

I'm applying data science to this disease. It's what I do, and can afford. Unfortunately, my doctor thinks that pushing pills is an adequate response, which I heartily doubt.

The more I understand this disease, it has to do with either: pancreas is dead (type 1), or your glucose response/insulin response is badly out of whack due to a metabolic carbohydrate problem (type 1.5/2). I was diagnosed with a fasting glucose of 161 and a1c of 7.1 . Met with doctor, and talked about it shortly. Was prescribed metformin and testing kit with 100 strips. I am currently not taking any drugs.

I keep reading that the problem is carbohydrate overload to my genetics. Can I validate or invalidate that? Indeed. I was told to test blood sugar 1x a day for 3 months. That's inadequate, as it's only an instantaneous sample. What about after I eat? What about when I go to bed and wake up? Can I deduce anything about my pancreas and its slow and fast response to glucose? Indeed.

I've started testing myself 4x every meal(1 before meal, 3 half hour increments after meal ends), and 1 when I wake up and go to bed. Turns out that yes, carbs has, in my body a direct correlation to my blood sugar. And it's pretty stark.

Now, if my hypothesis is correct, I can control my blood sugar purely with carb counting and eating to the glycometer. If after 2 weeks this does not show significant changes in my basal glucose rate, as well as weight losses, then I will go on drugs.

However, I already have 2 good side effects: I'm not craving for food any longer, and I no longer overheat. I'm not sure how to classify those effects, but not being slave to extremely annoying bodily issues does seem very beneficent.
These techniques are useful when you have a large pool of young extremely healthy men. Then when they blow out knees, shoulders, back, etc you can just select the ones who didn't break. Claiming that this is a useful and effective way to train is a terrible idea.

The only reason this kind of article is useful at all is that virtually everyone who trains a sport fails to train hard enough. In other words, after you remove all the fancy language and rah-rah spirit, you are left with "You should probably try harder". And that's probably good advice.

My two cents.
So advocacy of confiscating my firearms is not "advocating violence against" myself? Or the many other restrictions entailing force that are advocated against me and my fellow US gun owners?

Implicit threats at the very least, I'm just unpleasant enough to make this all explicit. Because I really, truly, hope to avoid a civil war in the US, but see it inevitable as long as the other side won't stop attacking my side (in general, not on just this topic). We just want to be left alone to live our unenlightened lives, but that's not been enough for our betters for a century or more.
But Genius has a huge network how do you guys plan to beat that? Often these kinds of products just sell on the community.
They become economic migrants at that point. They avoid a "safe" country in the hope of reaching one which suits them better in terms of economy/opportunities. The issue of migrants trying to illegally enter the UK via Calais has existed for decades at this point, any improvement to the conditions in Calais would encourage more people to try and make the journey so nothing is done for fear of turning a bad situation into an even worse one.

The UK public saw what happened when Mrs Merkel said there was no limits on the number of refugee's Germany would take, they are not in the mood for their politicians to make a similar mistake.
> Out of curiosity, what are the "obligations" on these asylum seekers?

By law, asylum seekers are obligated to register in the first EU country they arrive. Failing to do so results in illegal entry and/or stay and is grounds for deportation.

That's what the law says. Whether it's morally right or wrong is another matter.

Chacha20 is nice, but I think the key exchange is a bigger problem right now. What's the situation with Curve25519 in here?

Weak DH and ECDHE using NIST curves concerns me far more than AES-GCM which is readily available for example. Configuring DH properly requires extra effort for administrators and ECDHE relies on NIST curves which are prone to implementation error and some have even called into question the NSA-NIST relationship behind the "random" curves.
They're looking for places with jobs, and permission for them to exist.

Jobs provide the lowest common denominator social support system, which does not require extensive registration or a philosophy of charity or citizen status or a cousin on friendly terms or anything.

If there are jobs available, formal or informal, people will move.

There are no jobs available in the places they've been flooding into. They saturated the labor market. So they're trying to keep moving. Jobs are necessary to provide themselves with comfortable lives, rather than handouts that are limited in size and which could be snatched back at any point.

"I've heard there are jobs in California" during the Dust Bowl is a sentiment that would have made vast refugee camps if California had a moat around it and refused use of the bridges. Those people were not social parasites, they were fleeing exogenous conditions (war, drought) that destroyed their lifestyles, and they were seeking new ones.

Solitary asylum cases are a drastically different thing than mass movements of refugees claiming asylum. There is always an economic dimension to the latter; They have witnessed their whole society fall apart and spent or abandoned everything to escape, of course they're looking for jobs.
EDSAC, Dennis Wheeler and the first subroutine
Really depends on where you look. Several outlets are stating 6 people died[1], some say just 2, some say nobody died. Fox news sometimes initially claimed it was 2, then later 6. Occasionally they (media outlets, not just Fox) point out that people died while searching for Bergdahl while off-duty... so how that gets attributed to his search I have no idea [2].

In testimony, two officers part of the search testified saying nobody died.[3]

It's sad how politicized this has become. Even Fox news concedes "The official said the two soldiers in Bergdahl’s unit who died were in a combat outpost that was attacked. The official said it was impossible to prove a link between their deaths and Bergdahl's disappearance. In addition, investigators have determined that some of the other eight soldiers were killed while driving a logistic delivery to the base, and likely would have been doing so regardless of the search."

Indeed, stating everything twice is a basic concept in education.

At least twice. "Twice" is the absolute minimum, and there are better or worse ways to do it, but anything you only say once is only useful for a reference text.
