I am in agreement about the microbiome and it's importance but I found the good gut to be a terrible book full of wild speculation and little facts to back them up. Many sections started with a few thin facts then the authors made jumps that didn't exactly connect to those facts in order to speculate as if that was a fact. I hope there is a better book out there on this topic or one coming soon.
Thanks, Alex! Appreciate the kind words.

..."go to jail just because society does not know what else to do with you..."

The purpose of putting to people in jail stems from the 3 Rs: Retribution, Removal, and Rehabilitation. Retribution: punishment for the crime. Removal: removal from society so no further harm can be committed by the individual. Rehabilitation: make the individual a better person so they don't commit more crimes and become better citizens.

Unfortunately, we usually don't accomplish all 3, but 1 of the 3 usually gets done.
I would also used Java if Oracle hadn't dropped the ball in mobile support, as if they couldn't provide JIT and AOT compilers.

So given that I enjoy C++, when conding on my own, that is what I end up using for hobby coding between mobile platforms. But the NDK and JNI wrapping take the fun out of it.
If you want to use a non-English interface you would install the langpack for example https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/44.0/win32/xpi/ you would need to navigate the ftp to match your particular install.
All unrealized capital gains are also taxed upon giving up citizenship. Furthermore, one still pays U.S. Estate taxes on what one has left upon death, no matter how many years in the past one gave up his or her citizenship. Currently, Federal estate tax is 40% (there is also state estate tax up to 20%).

You also are not allowed to spend too much time back in the US once you have relinquished citizenship without triggering US income taxes again.

I didn't like Wil Wheaton's reading of Ready Player One either. The main character came off as, I don't know, whiney I guess. I have nothing against Wil Wheaton himself. The reading just didn't do it for me.

Masters of Doom is a great book though. I read it a couple years back. I recommend picking up a copy if the audiobook isn't working out.
Yep, a source of constant frustration when moving between them!

The kids I am describing are somewhat lucky for not having "checked out" before progressing beyond fractions. But they're not extraordinary, they're just kids who have been taught competently and who have been motivated in one way or another to get that far.

Kids are naturally curious and fighting against their curiosity can easily lead to losing their interest.

First, nullify all the patents ...

Seriously, back around the turn of the century I was pretty heavily into graphics and rendering and was frustrated by all the constraints on getting access to documentation. I finally figured out a way to pin down a vendor with all the necessary NDAs and all the necessary agreements so that I could actually get 100% access to the inner workings of the GPU. As long as I read the documents onsite at the vendor's office and brought no means to make copies. And after all of that, in discussions with the vendor's counsel, their biggest fear was that as GPUs were so competitive, and so heavily protected by IP, that they did not disclose any details to people who might see something that might be protected by some patent somewhere and defending a lawsuit, which always settled before discovery because nobody wanted to actually share their documents! It was insane.

That said, I think an open GPU is an excellent idea, however while I don't think it will get built any time soon I think just publishing all the techniques and algorithms will draw out all these lawyers and we could hopefully arrive at the 'available set' of features which one can implement. I expect though that you need a Google level VP8 kind of program for this to make progress (and Google failed there if you recall)
Once homeless, Boise man creates video game outside library, resets life
Doesn't give off the impression of being super open when you have samples say they are only for Radeon cards. This seems almost like a marketing strategy/guise from AMD, and if you go look at other websites for this article it literally says AMD launches GPUopen.com. AMD is only mentioned once in the article.. shady in my opinion and not very 'open' either.

When one company continually calls out for 'openness' in a marketplace over time I think people get annoyed at it, I know I do. AMD, you're nearing the point where people are just going to scoff at you and take it as whining. You can't say you want openness then build your tools specifically for your own hardware without looking like an ass. Furthermore, 3/4ths of the sample are for DX only. How open is DX again?

If people said that then they were silly, because JPEG and GIF solve different problems. JPEG didn't displace GIF because JPEG doesn't actually do a good job of compressing the images that GIF is good at compressing. Note that once a format came along that was good at those, namely PNG, it did displace GIF pretty much entirely for the still-image use case.
Get on Youtube and Google and search for '{car make & model} {repair}" - you might be surprised what you find. There's a lot of online forums for specific cars, and a lot of people posting repair videos on Youtube.

It also helps if you have an old beater to work on so that you can take your time and you don't end up messing up your daily driver car.

Last summer I successfully replaced a clutch by myself on an old car of mine soley based on videos and walkthroughs I found online. It took forever and was probably an order of magnitude more difficult than any automotive repair I'd ever attempted prior to that, but I did it.

5-HTP and omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil pills) are not "alternative medicine" supplements. They're regular medicine supplements. It's believed most people are probably deficient in omega 3, unless they eat a lot of fish.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3415362/

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17392137

In my opinion, the "alternative medicine" label shouldn't be thrown around recklessly at substances that clearly have psychoactive properties and strong theoretical or proven mechanisms of action. They may be insufficiently researched regarding their potential treatment of specific conditions, but you shouldn't throw them in the same boat as homeopathy or acupuncture or reiki.

I think 5-HTP probably isn't a suitable supplement to treat depression in the long term (risk of downregulation and cardiac issues), but it's definitely one form of treatment for many people.

my argument is that there should be no need for the average user to install noscript to prevent injection from third party "secure" domains. the default should be to deny loading them in the first place.

there should be a "yesscript" for those who want to assume the risk.
Well, clearly since we instituted capital punishment in this country, there have been no additional murders. Their logic works out!

* An executive order, on day one of the presidency, prohibiting solitary confinement of children. This is a no-brainer.

* The commission of a study, on day one of the presidency, to study solitary confinement across the country. This is a no-brainer.

* An executive order, within the first year, walking solitary back to the limitations it had in decades past.

* A conference of US attorneys, headed by the attorney general, to come to a policy regarding sentencing guidelines.

* In the first year of the presidency, introduction and advocacy of legislation to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for all or nearly all nonviolent offenses.

None of these are controversial - every single one of these steps has vocal support from at least one member of both parties in both houses of congress.

There are many more steps that might actually take a small amount of political capital, and they too are worth doing.

But a single directive in year 8 of the presidency? There are children who have been languishing in solitary for years while this guy waited to release this statement.

Why punish people? That's not a goal, not a moral value or something anyone should have a desire to do.

The goal is peace. It has to be peace. You might never reach that goal entirely but you can try and you want people that ensure peace exists and people that restore it once it has been violated.

Quite clearly exerting vengeance through the justice system is not the best way to achieve that goal, in fact it's obviously by far the worst.

GIF is extremely lossy for this use case since they can't do 24-bit color. In addition to being unnecessarily gigantic, animated GIFs also look terrible for just about anything that isn't pixel art. GIF itself is a lossless format, but when you use it for stuff like this the whole process is super lossy.
Sad to go all conspiracy theory here, but...

The crack epidemic was a supply and demand issue. During the 1980s, the CIA enabled the flow of cocaine to help fund the Contras and other right-wing revolutionary groups in Central America. The new routes led to new manufacturing practices, and supply skyrocketed. This in turn dropped the price drastically, making cocaine suddenly available and affordable for a lot of people who couldn't get it before. Crack was another technical/marketing innovation, taking the old practice of freebasing and industrializing it. A quick, intense high got down into the $10-20 range, something even the desperately poor could afford. And since mainstream society doesn't usually care much about the troubles of the desperately poor, the cocaine industry had a relatively untroubled new market.

The end of this era wasn't so much due to draconian laws as to the end of the cheap supply.
I had never heard of WebStorm. Apparently, it's "The smartest JavaScript IDE".

I started my career writing Perl CGI's, and have used, at various times, PHP, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Erlang, Java, Javascript and of course a lot of other stuff. Emacs has always done a good job, even if perhaps there was some editor/IDE that was a bit better for that specific langauge.
"The city’s Renaissance blossomed only a few decades after the Black Death decimated the city, and in part because of it. Horrible as it was, the plague shook up the rigid social order, and that new fluidity led directly to artistic and intellectual revolution."

This may be only a small part of the reason. One of the Renaissance's most important cause was the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. The extraordinary people flee to established centers, and at the time of its decline Byzantium enjoyed a great cultural blossom. Constantinople was a oasis of art and culture throughout the dark age, and only after Constantinople's fall under Ottoman Empire the European art and culture had no more that established place to coalesce to and thus was forced to blossom somewhere else. In the same way today's copycat entrepreneurial centers can not truly blossom until SF looses its name and appeal.

Math is hard for the same reasons that anything is hard. It is literally a mental strain on your brain.

I agree with the author in that a teacher's enthusiasm and perspective, and 'rigidity' in school can compound difficulties.

But as a physicist, the most difficult part of learning math, for me, is overcoming my own mental barriers. I need patience and focus to comprehend even the most simple sentences. If I don't want to learn/strain in the moment, then I won't.
I'd like to know more about read performance. My understanding is that when you base your system on Raft, you have to choose one of two operating modes:

- all reads go through the Raft state machine, which means that reading from one node implies talking to at least a quorum of nodes. Consul is an example of this behavior. It provides strong consistency but reduces the performance gain from horizontal scaling. (for Consul at least it's been shown that heavy read loads can cause leadership transitions as the master gets overwhelmed).

- Reads are processed by the local node only. This is fast and scalable but is basically "eventual consistency". A read immediately following a write is not guaranteed to see the write. etcd works this way by default (unless you pass ?quorum=true to your read request)

How does Kudu behave (or, rather, how is it intended to behave)?
This is disingenuous. Crime is low in Denmark, Switzerland, Norway or Sweden in large part due to how society is organised. You can't say that put a different population in and it would fall apart. Rather let a different population grow up in these countries and they would simply do less crime.

From the things I know about France I can see many obvious reasons why crime might be higher. It is a very strict society compared to e.g. Scandinavia which allows e.g. children and youngster a much freer life. The French are more likely to engage in almost psychological terror against their children. Well behaved children who don't make noise and sit still is valued in France, while Scandinavians are far more tolerant towards the natural behaviour of children and perform very mild sanctions towards bad behaviour.

France is also a more elitist and technocratic society, while Scandinavia is more egalitarian and cares more about the common man than the elite. The dehumanising vast monotone areas built in France which are now rife with crime would never have been built in a Scandinavian society.

I know I sounded very negative now. I didn't include all the wonderful things about France, because the whole point was to highlight why it isn't just a matter of having different people. The organisation of society creates the people.

The same could be said about the US. It is a society organised to produce violence.

Google sponge out Google Glass project – APPlite
I think you're right, but your last paragraph is crucial.

The reason I'm doing front-end development is because I enjoy it. I'm not doing it only to 'get shit done'. And part of that enjoyment means not always having to deal too much with other people's choices, because sometimes they feel like straitjackets.

So as long as the client doesn't suffer from me making choices based on enjoyment, I'm going to use RethinkDB, React for the back-end, and roll out my own custom-built CMS if I so desire. Because I'm responsible enough to know when this is okay, and it's just hella fun to do.

But yes, when in doubt lean towards the thing that has been tried and tested over your own (possibly disastrous) sources.

But also no, the most I've learned has been by making terrible choices and having to figure things out, truly figure things out myself instead of relying on frameworks from the start.

I mean, it's not like things will explode when we fail in the front-end world, generally speaking.

Heap on Embedded Devices: Analysis and Improvement
Yeah, I don't think he was really prepared for or interested in all this fame. He wanted to be just another experimental indie dev, but every time he made a game for a game jam or something, the gaming media would explode with "NOTCH MAKES NEW GAME" stories and his piddly little three-day speed-typing game or whatever would get 100 times as much attention as the entire rest of the jam. I imagine that would wear, after a while.

From recent news, it sounds like he's now given up trying to be normal and is trying out being an over-the-top hedonistic rich guy, and doesn't enjoy that either but doesn't know how to stop.

This is not depression, at least not as clinically defined. It just seems as though you are lacking motivation.

My best advice to you would be to continue working on your own info product or start a new one or some other software project, something you can be excited about. Your investment in it should be enough to keep you motivated whereas working for another company (at this point, based on things you've said) would mean that your only motivation is in collecting a paycheck--which will lead you to true depression.

Ubuntu Security checklist
To be fair to Notch, a huge chunk of Oculus fans were devastated by the unexpected Facebook acquisition, not just him. /r/Oculus was in flames the day it was announced. Notch put it this way "I did not chip in ten grand to seed a first investment round to build value for a Facebook acquisition." Gamers at large were really disappointed because Oculus was a games focused device and then suddenly it's owned by a social networking company whose only reputation for games is being a place for friend-pestering, "free"-to-plays (the exact opposite of what most self ascribed "gamers" want for the future of gaming). It makes sense that they would be worried. I think Oculus has done a good job allaying those fears but it makes sense that oculus fans would cautiously optimistic.

This post is a bit confused about how Kafka replication works. Replication in Kafka is always synchronous in the sense that the cluster internally has a strong notion of which messages are committed and no uncommitted message is handed out to consumers. It is just that the client has the option of writing to Kafka without blocking while the servers commit the message.
