Barely suppressing my horror at the word 'connectome' to make a relevant comment:

As a new (6 months) parent, I can confirm anecdotally that lack of sleep profoundly messes with the brain. Even getting your normal duration of sleep, but punctuated with lots of short waking periods, makes it almost impossible to function in highly demanding intellectual tasks for any length of time.

And if you have any underlying mental issues (hint: you do), you better believe those are coming to the surface when you've been chronically sleep deprived for 3 months.

Long story short: for the love of all that is good, sleep well. If there's something stopping you, find a way to get help or get away for a while so you can get some real sleep. The ability to think properly comes back remarkably quickly after a good sleep.
also 37 which is youth-speak for "old", their opinion doesn't matter anymore :-(
> This argument is reasonable on the surface, but when you think about it a bit more, it seems quite unlikely that missing 2 years of work 20 years ago would result in lack of relevant experience...

I don't think the article states precisely how much time, whether 2 years or 20, Colafrancesco took off from work to raise her children.

However, that's not to justify unequal hiring practices if and where such details keep employers from hiring Colafrancesco and women in similar positions.
Are there tools like this for other languages? For asp.net there is Glimpse and the Mini profiler. What about Java, php, node, python?
I can definitely see some of that, admittedly. If there was a weak point in the T-Mobile offering from the perspective of the end user, it would be the various billing interfaces. They struggle to load sometimes and the company's app offerings (particularly on iOS) are surprisingly bad considering the fact that, y'know, T-Mobile is a company that specializes in mobile communications.

I think that the company's comeback has largely been driven by innovative marketing and smart business offerings, rather than the technology itself.
Job ads ask for experience in whatever is "hot" just now though.
Well, a resume with 10 jobs on it is just a badly designed resume. Who cares where you worked 20 years ago? Drop in the three positions you feel are most relevant to this application, not everything you ever worked on.
There's nothing wrong with trying to understand the brain and more generally the machine aspect of ourselves. Yes, these scientists are doing valuable work. But in some very real way none of this can’t ever even begin to answer the question of what consciousness is. Any such question and any possible answer are still pheonomena that arise inside consciousness. Can science explain subjectivity? Does a machine have subjective experience the same way as we do? Is it even possible to create a strong AI? I think people have an intuition that none of this research can ever bring us closer to answering these questions.

> What happens when the science will eventually come up with technology to recreate (by all external empirical evidence) a human consciousness? Would you still say it's a "question outside science"?
Your question already presupposes that this will be possible. To you, it’s a question of “when” not of “if”. Your argument for that is the progress we’ve lately seen in AI. To me, and many others, this is like somebody saying that they’re closer to flying because he climbed a hill taller than others.

But even assuming that this will have happened, does this mean that we’re machines and nothing more? Or that we’ve just fooled ourselves with a clever contraption? I know it’s frustrating, and many people want to swipe this under the rug, but it’s clear we still won’t know for sure.
Interesting. I wonder if using 1Blocker somehow effects it.

How to Prevent Timing Attacks with a Double-HMAC Strategy
It seems silly that typing a single extra character at the end of the line (noting that the left parenthesis was previously a space) is "dragging you away from python". It is also worth noting that the IPython repl will close parentheses for you, so you actually don't have to type any more characters at all!

Ah - I was confused about the term (not familiar how the legal system works there) - I thought it meant an expert as a witness by chance. If it's his job to sit in the proceedings my comment was really off.
And the great thing about Python 2.7 is it supports both syntaxes: I can, and often do, from __future__ import print_function, but I don't have to; hell, if Python 3 just defaulted that on but let you turn it off for modules on a different import path, that would have been much more intelligent than what they did :/.
All my tests were closed book. We were expected to prove/derive formulas, not use them so much. And everything that goes through a computer gets double checked with a calculator and back of envelope calculations. Otherwise you end up with crazy boners like (3 + 3/16)*20 = 68.5.
Well, I agree that 750-ish lines is a bit extreme, but that function was a Win32-message handler. It basically consisted of a huge switch statement that figured out what the message was, did a little parameter mangling and then called a function that did the actual work.

So while that function was very, very long, it was relatively simple to understand and did not contain a lot of logic. Also, the fact that it was a huge switch would have made breaking it up slightly non-trivial.
I just found it easier to work with. Some might find express easier, but that is just my opinion. There are also companies using hapi in production. Walmart used it and worked on black friday.

Modules is not a big problem since there are lots of node modules out there.

One could even say, why use express when meteor has a bigger community? They have modules, etc.

It's not a new phenomenon; it's actually a very old one. Much of this US food culture that you (IMHO rightfully) decry comes from our cultural heritage, which, despite our post-WWII wealth, was then a poor country. Go back a hundred years in the US and what you'll find is a country mostly full of farmers, who are mostly concerned about A: having any food at all and B: making sure they don't die from the parasites in the food, one way or another.

I was born in 1978, and I was still raised in a culture of blasting my meat until all the pink is gone, and boiling my vegetables until all flavor was gone. My influential-grandparents were both raised on a farm, which influenced what my parents ate. (To this day, neither of my parents will even consider trying sushi, because it's raw fish. That's it. That ends the argument for them. You Don't Eat Raw Meat. You don't even eat slightly pink meat.) While this may have produced generations of people with low standards, it was caused by trying to make dubious food safe-to-eat. Even today, many of our official government standards still source from this heritage, being rather excessively conservative and recommending cooking meat as if it's still full of parasites, just to be safe.

So, it's not that "Americans" don't know what food is "supposed" to taste like anymore... many of us have never known what food is "supposed" to taste like, for many generations. This isn't a situation created by "Big Food", it's a pre-existing situation that allowed Big Food to drop in, and offer Americans food that tasted better than what they were used to. That it turns out to itself have been quite mediocre is a measure of just how bad what came before it is!

The trend in the US is quite clearly upwards; I think perhaps if you aren't at least 30 right now that might not be obvious, but believe me, it's getting better, not worse. Yeah, you can still buy Doritos, which haven't hardly changed in 30 years, but the produce sections! Holy shit the produce sections. If you were presented with a produce section from 1985 you'd reach to clean your glasses, if you have them. Absolutely night and day. And the other selections too; I can't go back in time but I wonder if my mom could even have bought any sort of extra-virgin olive oil back then, to take just one example, let alone have 10 different selections.
That's six times the size of my apartment. 3 to 9 square feet would be the most I could manage; maybe I could grow herbs but that's about it.
This is a really good point. If someone buys an $800 camera through a $4 velcro link, it's a significantly higher rate.

Also, Amazon's own site notes that referral rates are based on a wide variety of factors: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/comp...

For most general products, though, Gawker's volume alone would suggest referral rates of around 8.50%, though electronics fall to around 4%.

Nonetheless, Gawker's strategy in creating ad code referrals is very smart. It's the math that's more complicated here.

I expect a lot of it is that they had a decent job for many years that gave them regular pay rises, but probably above their value. If they wanted another job now they'd have to take a pay cut, and nobody wants that.

There's a guy at my work like that. 50s, lab technician. Very good at what he does, but he's been with the company for maybe 15 years and no doubt has a very good salary for a lab technician. He wants to leave but basically can't because there's no chance anyone will pay his salary for a new lab technician.

Not really.

Every now and then there's this thing that happens where somebody runs across some surface-level comment by some fairly authoritative source, arrives at a mistaken interpretation of it, and that interpretation just happens to be the one that gets widely repeated, and thus an error enters into the public awareness on that topic. That seems to be what happened with the MINIX-and-embedded-systems meme that keeps showing up.

MINIX tried to position itself as a good candidate for use on embedded systems—in addition to its then-current primary (read: only viable) use as a PC operating system. It never really ended up happening. The idea seems to have been to use the grant money as a catalyst to get it in shape so that it looks attractive and can get commercial adoption at the cusp of the move to a post-PC world, and then it will be sufficiently dug-in with a few parties, enough so that it would see sustained development in your typical open source fashion.

The reality is, it didn't really pan out (NB: not necessarily as a result of its essential microkernellyness), they burned through several million Euro that all seems to have gone towards paying developers and putting very little towards project management, and today nobody is doing serious development on it, save for something like one grad student who mostly continues to work on it in the course of his research. In its current state, it has rudimentary support for something like two boards (from the BeagleBoard line), and its best supported platform, relatively speaking, is still PCs, although its support there can itself only really be called so-so by a more absolute metric.

(Caveat: MINIX is BSD licensed, so it's possible there's somebody out there getting lots of mileage out of it and/or doing spectacular things.)

To be fair, even as a teaching OS, though, things do look rough nowadays. In the past, the way things worked was, Tanenbaum would take the sources, clean it up and trim some of the parts that wouldn't be covered in the Operating Systems book, and then ship it. With the current state of the code, after the quality of the changes that occurred in the aforementioned process, if he were to try to do the same for a 4th edition of the book, he's going to have a lot of work ahead of him.

All in all, given the current state of the project, the answer to the question, "What is the best use for MINIX today?" is "For research."

I say all this as someone who has got some patches for cleaning up and consolidating a bit of the bootstrap code for ARM and x86, but with nowhere to effectively send them.

Egregious editing for a news organization.
Another oblique example of the Peltzman effect: make something less risky (purchase) and people will take more chances (in this case, purchases they might not otherwise have made due to worries about an untrustworthy vendor, questionable product quality, or just buyer's remorse.) Same goes for credit cards that have strong chargeback and false-charge protection policies. If you know there's virtually no risk, you'll make that purchase you otherwise wouldn't. Very important for enabling things like online commerce to happen initially (and probably allows it to continue as it does.)
Nothing obligates trademark owners to come after non-infringers like this.
Our product, Elevate Web Builder, creates fat-client web applications, and they are much, much simpler to implement than a hybrid approach because you're only coding to one environment at a time (browser, server). They are also much lighter on bandwidth requirements because most data transfers are simple JSON and not content. You can see this here with a demo that loads the IP address ranges for various countries into a grid:

http://www.elevatesoft.com:8081/maxgridtest/maxgridtest.html

(our server is in Chicago - SingleHop is fantastic)

Yes, you do make a valid point that things like optimistic database updates can be problematic, if not planned for. However, I would counter that the end result is much more durable and scalable than the alternative. If you build your application to handle distributed, optimistic transactions to a back-end JSON-based API (our dataset API does about 98% of the work for you), you're well on your way to having a distributed application that can be run anywhere and maintains a nice separation of concerns where the front-end or back-end can be swapped out as different needs arise. That, to me, seems to be a much better position to be in than one that requires a mix of both client-side and server-side content generation, which intimately ties the front-end to the back-end (brittle).
I'll be curteous and elaborate: The double standard is allowing Torvalds to bash, but disallowing "bashing" his bashing.

I refrained from guessing the cause of this before, but I believe it is you being a fan of Torvalds' and/or being sympathetic to his unwilingness to moderate own behavior.

Please address my point about definitions or explicitly introduce a new point if you really want to argue the other thing further.

Age discrimination is a thing but the idea that you work for a company to benefit them and not yourself is something that's taking a painfully long time to sink in for a lot of people. Perhaps for older people they were brought up to think you just work all the time, in one company perhaps, because...its just something you do. The idea that you only work because someone finds what you do economically advantageous is lost on some people. I often hear people complaining that they're not "getting training" at work (for free, on their employer's time). Well, yeah, that costs them a bunch of money and benefits you. Yes, you could argue it benefits them too, but not as much as them simply firing you and hiring someone who already has the skills.

How about a really long comment instead? :)

This was our second adoption. The first was for an infant. We planned for another infant adoption for #2, but several things conspired to change that.

The first of those was that the political winds in country of child #1 had changed such that the adoption programs in that country were practically at a stand-still. So we looked around. I believe that Ethiopia was the only other place we could adopt from due to our age/income/etc.

For our first adoption, we were given a referral. Basically, this is your child, take it or leave it. For our second adoption, we were given a video of all the children in the orphanage...oldest first. We were told that the orphanage would only house children up to age 12. And we learned that the prospects for children who had "aged out" were not very good.

So we decided to adopt one of these older children. And since we had clearly lost our minds, we called the adoption program director and asked her for advice. She said that she always gives people the same advice: "If you can possibly adopt two children at once, do it". We were obviously completely out of our minds, because we took her advice.

Of course it was very challenging at times, especially at first, for both us and them. But I am so glad we took that advice. The feeling of isolation that children in these situations have to face...it's probably the hardest part for them. And it makes sense to me that in any situation, no matter how hard, it's much easier when there is someone in your same situation you can talk to about it.

We are in contact with many other families who have adopted older children. It seems obvious to us that our girls have dealt with those challenges better than most.

There is a documentary that aired on PBS, "Girl, Adopted" about a girl adopted from the same orphanage as our girls at around the same time. I could definitely identify with a lot of what is depicted in that program, but...I think it was just a bit harder for Weynsht and her family than it was for us. Alas, it isn't free ($10 for streaming/download): http://www.girladopted.com/
I don't stay in any programming job more than 2 years max.

When you start at a new job you want to prove yourself. Learning the code base and the system is new and exciting and a bit scary. After two years you feel like you have a good grasp of everything can relax, but then the fear and excitement is gone. The motivation is gone. I start slacking off, looking for the next job.

I hired a dev freelancer, working with him for few months now. I am very happy, I think he is as well :). However, I noticed that most of devs here ask for $50+/hour, which was a way above my budget, so it took me time to find somebody (good price/quality ratio). On the other hand I did not receive many applications actually. Anyway, it was much better experience for me than looking for somebody on upwork and getting 100 proposals from outsourcing firms from India.
Not a single thing was broken? I had particularly bad luck with Amazon this December and received four different items broken when I opened the box.
I'm not completely clear on the role of expert witnesses either, I assumed it was someone who was an expert in the field occasionally called to be a witness but their day job is not to be a witness (despite getting paid for it).
You could easily grow tomatoes, peppers or maybe even cucumbers in that space, either in pots or a relatively shallow (12cm of soil?) rectangular container. Although only if you have a sunny window.

> It's an underdog in the US because it doesn't have the infatructure that at&t and verizon do.

I get that. Still it has nearly as much employees as Verizon and AT&T combined. Telekom is one of the least start-up-like organization you can think of. Some of these employees still have the status of German Beamte and are unfireable. I do not know if you are familiar with German bureaucracy, but Kafka wrote some books about it …

Nevertheless articles like this treat T-Mobile like it's a small fast-moving start-up battling against evil corporations.
The article mentions that the cost of growing wheat indoors would result in an $18 loaf of bread, so there is a breakeven point. If the cost of transportation and water continues to rise that breakeven point will get closer. Saying that it will never work out reminds me of the early 1990s report that the Army did finding that if we used a tiny portion of the Mojave desert to grow Algae, the only inputs of which would be grey water from LA and sun, we could provide enough bio-diesel to take care of all of the USAs transportation needs. But they killed the project because it would only make sense in a world where gas would cost more than $1.50, which would never come.

First of all capitalism doesn't apply to home grown diy stuff, so even if your argument was validity it would still be irrelevant here.

Secondly, even though I am very much in favour of a social state, so I am not arguing for capitalism in general here,
capitalism is pretty much a unregulated market economy.

How would you describe most societies of the last few hundred thousand years?

Socialism and everything related to it is a very modern concept. That was only made possible through the abundance of modern industrialisation.

If anything, the communist states that claimed to be defenders of socialism (I wouldn't call them socialist in any way but, meh), have shown that they were the biggest proponents of monoculture.

How do you feed a billion people through state organised agriculture? Through fields that are hundreds of miles long, so that they can be harvested easily and efficiently by a single machine.

You can still see the industrial agriculture wastelands of this philosophy in east germany today. Wind that would normally be broken by vegetation and the borders of smaller fields can erode the top soil and leaves nothing but unusable desert.
