You wrote theory of eulogy. Since you meant eugenics then your post makes a lot more sense because that's some useful context. I appreciate that it was a mistake, but it was not a leap I (or others, apparently) could easily make from the misspelling to the intended word.
Good article that explains why I don't (and probably won't) use an iPhone.

My Android Note 4 supports web standards, lets me creating web link icons on the phone "desktop" and is generally great for web browsing.

For somethings like accessing Twitter and Facebook I don't install the apps because I don't like the required device permissions. I do use a few apps, like an SSH shell, but whenever I can I stick with mobile web apps.
> $200k for journalism and media studies was a bad investment.

It wasn't $200K for the journalism and media studies degree (it was $189k total for two students, only one of which got a journalism and media studies degree.)

And, maybe the journalism and media studies degree from Rutgers would have been a good investment -- if the student wanted to be a journalist; instead, he seems to have wanted a Hollywood film career, but for some inexplicable reason paid for a fairly expensive journalism degree, rather than seeking a film-related degree.

DISCUSSION

Twas the night before start-up and all through the net,
not a packet was moving; no bit nor octet.
The engineers rattled their cards in despair,
hoping a bad chip would blow with a flare.
The salesmen were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of data nets danced in their heads.
And I with my datascope tracings and dumps
prepared for some pretty bad bruises and lumps.
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.

There stood at the threshold with PC in tow,
An ARPANET hacker, all ready to go.
I could see from the creases that covered his brow,
he'd conquer the crisis confronting him now.
More rapid than eagles, he checked each alarm
and scrutinized each for its potential harm.

On LAPB, on OSI, X.25!
TCP, SNA, V.35!

His eyes were afire with the strength of his gaze;
no bug could hide long; not for hours or days.
A wink of his eye and a twitch of his head,
soon gave me to know I had little to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
fixing a net that had gone plumb berserk;
And laying a finger on one suspect line,
he entered a patch and the net came up fine!

The packets flowed neatly and protocols matched;
the hosts interfaced and shift-registers latched.
He tested the system from Gateway to PAD;
not one bit was dropped; no checksum was bad.
At last he was finished and wearily sighed

The attitude that moss is like mold or that nature is to be controlled doesn't seem like "American" attitudes as far as I've ever heard. I try to speak up whenever I hear people generalizing about the country. The US is extremely diverse and there are tons of preserved areas as well as developed areas. It would be like trying to sum up an attitude of all of Europe regarding moss. It's silly.

Personally I have never really given moss that much thought, it's just something that is around like grass or dirt. Some people are into watching birds, others find that boring. Moss doesn't seem that interesting to me but I'm sure it can be fascinating if you get into it.
I think most "premature optimization" that software entrepreneurs do is to avoid actually interacting with people.

Payments? Stripe! Support phone number? Forums! Cold calling? Self-service platform!

There is so much to be gained from talking and interacting with potential and current customers and most of us - myself included - avoid it way too often.
Good points there and having done that myself as well I can definitely sympathise with you. Working on the email/password auth as we speak ;)
I would say that the goals align much more than the current approaches, which are somewhat orthogonal. My focus in developing Elemental has been on expanding from the scope of libraries like ScaLAPACK (which focused on distributed dense linear algebra) into more general algorithms (e.g., Interior Point Methods and lattice reduction) and modern programming practices (using templates to support arbitrary-precision versions of the above).

Arguably the biggest weakness of Elemental is its lack of focus on dynamic scheduling at an intranodal level, though this can to a large degree be pushed into a local BLAS layer. One of the big items on my wish list would be proper integration of intranodal dynamic scheduling with the current high-performance internodal static scheduling.

The current TensorFlow releases seem to be primarily focused on intranodal dynamic scheduling; there has been a substantial amount of work in this area from the PLASMA [1] and (less recently) SuperMatrix [2] projects.

Things aren't black and white. Obama shows he understands all the nuances of the complex world we live in and from the looks of things the world has just grown more complex despite that understanding.

It would make sense to keep this list curated, as people who don't have a background in physics and/or astronomy might think a piece of fiction depicts it well, but misses some key aspect.

I had a quick squizz at XDebug, and I'll try to remember it's existence next time I need to do some php debugging. On the other hand it looks quite high friction what with the extra config required.

For the normal use case I use `perl -d myscript.pl` as my goto debug tool, and I use the amazing test infrastructure to try to ensure that I'm debugging tests rather than interactive code. For web front end interactions I'm usually looking at:

perl -d `which plackup` dev_server.psgi

Usually using LWP::Protocol::PSGI to get that server process management running inside my test.

For old codebases that have never run aside from inside apache, usually it's a matter of up to a day to decouple from the web server, although botched incrementally accreted mod_perl codebases can be much harder to tame (couple of months).

I couldn't find example in the docs for that library showing concurrent async ops with simple try/catch type error handling. So it's still not clear to me how you would rewrite the above shown async/await concurrent scenario using this library.

I had a pretty decent working example of coupling the two earlier this year: http://beatmatch.esmevane.com/

The friction you feel likely is more than just perceived. Perseverance can often break past it and sometimes a disruptive spinoff proves to be required.

I work at a company where the typical employee is 20-30 years older than I am. It is often a struggle to get people to adapt to change, the key is to persevere. As an example, I just finished participating in a 4-year effort to get my organization to adopt Git!

Often, projects like TLDR are necessary as proofs of concept to help the old guard understand the value of an idea or initiative. Even something as simple as this discussion existing might help people see an unmet need or expectation exists. And sometimes, when the old guard fails to respond, it is worth spinning those projects off with a group who sees the "new way" as clearly as breathing oxygen and replacing the old way of doing things completely.

Your list of bullets is a good one. To be honest with you, I've only contributed to open source docs a small number of times, submitting merge requests to Canonical. So, I will give updating a man page a try and see if I can figure it out.
3D Printing to a New Level
First, as long as your basic needs are met, your happiness is only vaguely related to material success.

This is true. Another thing that is true is that many people have difficulty figuring out how to meet their basic needs, even when they have lots of money. Meeting basic needs is mostly not about money per se. It is about the fabric of society working well. It is about dealing with human needs that go beyond physical sustenance.

Also, wealthy people can have "dozens of friends and the fun never ends -- that is, as long as I'm buying." People can become poisoned by that experience.

Another thing he doesn't really touch on: There is a big difference between making your wealth and winning it. About 2/3 of lottery winners are bankrupt within five years and it often just ruins their life.
Racism was invented to provide an ideological justification for the African slave trade and colonialism. The institutional racism faced by African Americans today has direct and traceable roots to the African slave trade of the 1700s. It's not racist, and certainly not hateful to make this connection.

As I read the article, it seems to boil down to: "We've got this standing wave of light. We use electrons to interact with it. The pattern of interaction shows the standing wave..."

OK, I can buy that.

"... but for the electron to interact, it had to hit a photon, so there's the particle aspect."

Not so fast. That sounds like you're defining the interaction as showing the particle nature, with no actual evidence from this experiment.

Or did I miss something?
Writing (and reading) letters. Email brings speed - and brevity. But letters forced writers to be more...deliberate with their words.

I'm currently reading a collection of letters from Richard Feynman - curated by his daughter, who weeded through file cabinets full of them, forwarded from Caltech's archives. One can chart the course of a life by the letters that person wrote. It makes me wonder - when all of us are gone, will someone publish collections of emails from our noteworthy contemporaries? I doubt it.

Digital communications are fleeting. While they can more easily be archived than a drawer full of paper letters, they can also easily be deleted with a keystroke. Email and text communications offer many advantages, but they lack the weight of the written word - and the longevity.
Alas, that I don't know. I'm sure a bit more online research would bear fruit. My bet would be that you present evidence along with your challenge and they render judgement accordingly, but that's just a guess.

One journalist at an unnamed "national" magazine was drug tested. The author then makes a joke out of it. The story was a set up for the rest of the article. Worrying it's becoming the default is just irrational as outrage over Starbucks' war on Christmas.

Let me put this out there now, before you’ve read too far: I was not myself drug-tested before publishing this story. Neither was my editor, nor the copy editor, nor any of the designers, programmers, or art editors who worked on it. For all I know, the lot of them—the entire staff of Slate—could be huddled in a conference room right this very minute, passing joints around and shooting dope and snorting PCP. But ours is not the standard workplace in America.

Will ordinal scales ever be zoomable?
The recent more-modular approach d3 is taking (specifically, the separation of DOM selection-driven APIs from the data manipulation stuff) means you can now just use d3 with React directly.

For example, you can use d3-scale to map from data to drawing coordinates, or straight to SVG path data (using d3-path/d3-shape). You can then easily render this to an inline SVG using React (or to some other backend using React libs like react-canvas and gl-react). Building the svg elements directly this way makes it easier to attach React event handlers to them, and gives you more fine grained control, rather than using off-the-shelf components.

Here's an example combining d3-shape and d3-scale with React and react-motion: https://jsbin.com/mehata/9/edit?js,output

The article only gives three examples of APIs that are "missing" on iOS, and one of them is the vibration API.

Since when is the vibration API a "good example" of something necessary to "give the full app experience on mobile" (using the article's language)? Other than message & phone call notifications, I don't want apps vibrating my phone all the time. The W3C page they link to describes it as a "form of tactile feedback", but that's nonsense, unless they are talking about the touch feedback that newer devices like the Apple Watch provide, which is done mostly at the system level.

Another example the article gives is CSS touch manipulation, which Apple has already started working on[0]. So, the article is 1 for 3.

You are correct. Change is slower in this industry. That can be both a curse and a blessing. For validated environments (FDA-regulated industries such as Pharma), it can be downright glacial.
What sort of work have you done?
I don't have time to comment on most of this, but [9]:

Perhaps this is a men's rights group, and their name suggests it (Chauvinistic Husbands), but the things they're having the men do to save their marriages is to become better partners. This is the exact opposite of what many MRA folks write about. The men in that group are doing more at home. They're actively engaging with their wives and children in a way more typically espoused and encouraged by feminist movements. Again, perhaps the movement's intention is to help men, but it's really helping all members of the marriage by giving the same sort of advice and asking the same sort of questions typical of good marriage counseling (couples counseling and group counseling).
The fact that something hasn't been done doesn't mean there isn't a need for it.

Sure, it's possible that Windows 10 is more likely to leak data, but I'm not going to just accept it without at least a tiny bit of evidence.

Congrats on your accomplishments.

If I can change my diet so that my blood-sugar level stays within healthy parameters, I'll gladly do it.

In addition to what you have done, you might look up articles on diabetes and inflammation. They are linked. I have a condition that predisposes me to blood sugar issues and I have worked on consuming an anti-inflammatory diet. Addressing the blood sugar issues was not even on my radar. I had other concerns I was trying to address. My blood sugar is more stable than it has probably ever been in my life.
I'm a fan of the Mill processor design, I'd love to see that architecture take off - a total rethink of the relationship of instruction sets to silicon.

I just love it when a designer takes an understood problem space and alters the rulebook to give himself advantages that his competition would never allow themselves to have. The Mill's design seems like that. It's totally bananas, each chip family produced will have randomly assigned opcodes assigned for a tailored set of operations.

Beyond getting working chips, the Mill's biggest hurdle will be to get compiler toolchains to target it's ISA. Such a huge gamble.
Fine, but your comment has no substance and makes for trite reading. So what if I promote a vegan diet? Are you genuinely so threatened by this fact that you find it important to chime in to let readers know every time I post? If you find what I have had to say to be inaccurate or otherwise alarming, please explain why and correct me, using facts and citations, not conjecture and personal anecdotes.

In fact, your post history reveals you have a keen interest in low-carb diets, so citing your evidence, reading mine, and generally having an intelligent debate on the matter of human health and nutrition seems like a more interesting way to spend the time, rather than aggressive name-calling and making dismissive generalizations.

Well, you simply can't stop one and just hope starting on the other will fix all your problems. A gradually transition from one to the other is what's needed.

I remember in college my professor was telling me about villages in Siberia where they mined asbestos. Even decades after every industrialized country had stopped using it, they were still mining it since it was the only way the village could survive.

Sometimes survival is more important then saving the environment to some people.

It just so happens that over the last 2 winters I've been burning a scrapped wooden boat in my fire stove so I know how much fire you get out of a boat.

The boat in question was a 15 meter long oak on oak boat. It lasted 2 winters for 2 homes with a fire stove, and we didn't even burn it all.

There's an amazing amount of wood in a boat, particularly around the keel. The framing, keel and other structural elements are made of really heavy timber. On top of that good wooden boats are (were..) built of slowgrown oak that is incredibly dense. One large piece would last for 6-8 hours in my stove and give off a lot of heat.

It doesn't seem unlikely to me that a 25-30 meter boat would last for 15 years if you the goal was primarily to keep the fire going, only getting it really big/hot when needed.

So yes from where you get your degree matters a lot!
