Thanks! I'll definitely look into react-router / bootstrap.

And that's the same reason I built this - I have a lot of electron apps I want to build, but no quick starting point. I'm glad it's something others are finding useful as well!
Rate limiting would have killed that dictionary. Just the connection speed: 300 baud means roughly 300 bits per second, or roughly 2250 characters per minute.
The actual reason to not do it: They don't want you to. We sold you this, don't fuck with it like that. You technically own it and can root it, but then if it slows down you don't blame the root you blame the phone. When your friend sees your non-factory clean S6, he associates all those custom features with an S6, and not a rooted S6. They made a product and want everyone to use it and see it as they intended, rooting detracts from that. You have every right to, they just don't want you to.
Is the Muse easy to hack? I was thinking of buying one to play with.
The "Legend of Verdun" works better than the "Legendary Battle of Verdun"...because the point of the article is how keeping Verdun is a point of pride for the French...and yet not only did it involve a terrible loss of life, it wasn't much worth fighting for. But the "legend" part is how the pride over keeping Verdun -- i.e. the idea that holding a fortress is important -- had echoes in later military blunders of pride, such as Hilter at Stalingrad and the French, again, at Dien Bien Phu.
Perhaps the time has come to start using phonetic spellings (e.g. An English specific subset of the International Phonetic Alphabet) in at least some contexts, such as signage. Wales would be a good place to start. If someone here has the patience to translate, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" into IPA phonetic English I'd sure appreciate it.

On second thought, maybe we should leave the Welsh out of this. Yes... That would be for the best.

Anyways, while it is certainly ambitious to start using phonetic spellings in a limited way, it's far from unprecedented. In 1929 the Turks walked away from the Ottoman alphabet entirely and adopted the modern Turkish Alphabet, which is basically the Latin alphabet with some phonetic characters added. The result is that modern Turkish sounds like it's written, and it's easy to pick up pronunciation from spelling. The Turkish alphabet is relatively simple compared to full IPA, which is part of its appeal.
a) Having "beautiful code" helps keep focus where it matters: the "difficult" sutff (be data data science, machine learning, math problems, physics simulations, etc).

b) True, there are beautiful libraries all around, and easy to use. In particular to data science, I think NumPy+SciPy+matplotlib are comparable to MATLAB. With beautiful code, portability and no need to pay an expensive license.

c) Totally agree. Though there are small nitpicks in different platforms, most of the times they can be overcome.

d) Totally agree.

Also: the Anaconda distribution solves most of the problems that anyone could have with (b), (c) and (d).

If you relegate it to less usage (e.g. a second phone or hand-me-down to less-frequent user), be sure to keep cycling the phone periodically. When I semi-retired my GS3, I've had a big problem with batteries becoming unusable, even factory batteries.
Insure yourself. Why would you not have disability insurance or protection against lost wages? That's foolish. What if you fell down the stairs? Are you going to shift that burden onto society because you failed to insure yourself?

You could see this personal survey as a way for the site to make you doubt or question yourself subconsciously. For you to even read the question, you have to process that question introspectively. The more questions you answer, the more likely you'll find something you'll want to improve. Then miraculously this site is the silver bullet. Buy more sessions here [enter credit card info].

Another way you could see this product, the survey, and the upsell could be through the perspective of NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming). The two concepts to focus on would be pacing and leading. You listen to the relaxing ambient music and you become calm. (Pacing) Afterwards the survey pops up when you're in a more docile state. You answer these questions. Each of which is ever so slightly leading you to the conclusion that this product is the solution to the problems you've clicked "Yes" to.

"Can you tell me where we can see what is objective evil? Or is it all just ultimately based on our contemporary feelings that "oh, that's awful"?"

My particular ethics are (mostly) utilitarian in nature. Maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering, with a recognition that we live in a world of limited resources and limited understanding of both happiness and suffering. But, it's relatively easy to recognize suffering, so I try to shape my life in such a way that the amount of suffering I cause is minimized. I would argue that suffering is a more objective measure than popular opinion, though neither is perfect, and both rely on my ability to understand what other people or sentient beings are experiencing and thinking.

"No, because I'm not arrogant enough to declare myself somehow wiser and more able to see The Truth than the billions of humans who have lived on this earth over the past two million years"

But, arrogant enough to dismiss thousands of years of philosophers on the topic of ethics. Got it.

Frankly, I find your belief on this repugnant, and disturbing. I'm not sure how to even have a conversation about ethics with someone who denies the very existence of ethical behavior, instead replacing it with adherence to popular opinion (and demanding objectivity while relying on something as shifting and difficult to observe as the beliefs of large groups of people).
It might prevent similar comments in the future.

App that lets you create your own music filters
Good question, I doubt that, mostly because the "audio" part of the movie is not like the video for me. I don't remember it as a stream. But I'd be curious enough to test that. I never thought about this much.

What often happens if that someone asks me if I have seen movie/series X and then I recall and fast forward through the video to remember the plot and characters. That must sound very weird/unrealistic but can't describe it better.
So an AI can learn to generate music that compels people to become more receptive to suggestion, in particular the suggestion that they should act as proxies for the will of an AI.

Well played.

English is indeed a terrible language, with British / European versions being objectively worse. The improvements to English came from Noah Webster (of Merriam-Webster fame) who was the sole driving force in re-spelling words, "colour" to "color," etc. He helped remove the arbitrary rules as best as he could. This is a clear improvement, but some of his more aggressive changes didn't catch on. English needs another reformation, since it's unrealistic the language will disappear anytime soon.

It's always been reforming subtly, where we see useful abbreviations form colloquially, like goodbye is a contraction of "God be with you." You could even argue the use of "u" instead of "you" in text messages is a version of this.

I love that you think personal responsibility means me having to pay in case somebody else hits me with a car. Rather than them being personally responsible for their driving into me.

Regardless, the way insurers generally work is that they will try to recover the cost of damage for the responsible party. So, for example, if you have homeowner's insurance and somebody drives into your house, your insurer will pay you and then try to recover the costs from the the driver's insurance company.
Big executive hears about it, thinks its 'the next big thing' and poors money into it. A second big executive hears that the previous company is doing it and they have to stay competitive. Their next flagship product has it and coincidentally does well. They attribute it to IoT and all of their products have it in a year. Then it spreads across the industry and no one has choice anymore.
It might be worth trying it out with an open mind, never know you might like placebo till the study arrives.
Eliminate gender, simplify the conjugations, deprecate usted to avoid the social awkwardness of using the wrong level of formality. Throw in some loan words from English to expand the vocabulary and keep the Anglos happy (with regularised orthography and conjugations, naturally). And encourage people to slow down when they speak

Do all this, and you'll have a very user friendly language that half the world's population will be able to pick up muy rapidamente

(I have a feeling this is going to end up like the joke about eliminating all the problems with British spelling, which is achieved by progressively turning it into something sounding like comedy German...)

If you're going to take compound words built from multiple roots out of the equation, then approximately 98% of German words would evaporate... \s

If English has more words than other languages, it's probably because we took them from all those other languages, bastardized them, and grafted them into our own.
That's a poor analogy since murder is illegal. What Google is doing is within the law and a part of the framework created by the government.
There is an established theory that language shapes your thoughts. If you only know one language, then you are confined to a single way of thinking.

Another interesting phenomena is that you are more logical in a 2nd or 3rd language than you are in your mother tongue, where you are more emotional. This can be a useful superpower.

CAUGHT ON CAM-flying midget
I live in the south of Taiwan and uber just became available here over the weekend.

Taxi service is already good if you speak Chinese. You can call a taxi automated system, give them a street corner, and they will give you a time estimate. It is usually 3 minutes and they show up on time.

The benefit uber provides is to foreigners. If you do not speak Chinese, then you previously needed to flag down a cab.
AGI? Definition?
Since this is likely to degenerate into a discussion on the merits and pitfalls of optimizing undefined behavior, how about a look at this thread on mechanicalsympathy where the topic was beat to death just a short while ago:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mechanical-sympathy/...

One of the juicier replies discussing some of the undefined behavior in C (by Rajiv Kurian):

1. A program in a hosted environment does not define a function named main using one of the specified forms - not a compile time error, it's UB.

2. The arguments to certain operators are such that could produce a negative zero result, but the implementation does not support negative zeros.

3. Two declarations of the same object or function specify types that are not compatible - again not a compilation error, it's UB.

4. An unmatched ' or " character is encountered on a logical source line during tokenization. During tokenization!!

5. An exceptional condition occurs during the evaluation of an expression - how specific.

6. An exceptional condition occurs during the evaluation of an expression - hmmm

7. A structure or union is defined as containing no named members - ookay.

8. The value of an unnamed member of a structure or union is used - why is there a compiler at all!

9. The character sequence in an #include preprocessing directive does not start with a letter - lol

10. The program modifies the string pointed to by the value returned by the setlocale function - dear god.

11. The string set up by the getenv or strerror function is modified by the program .

12. The array being searched by the bsearch function does not have its elements in proper order - not a logical error just straight up UB.

This is the tip of the iceberg. How confident is any one now that their program doesn't invoke UB? Things many programmer would assume are compiler errors are actually UB. What would happen if gcc/clang exploited each one of these?
I never see anyone do this, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea to run a program through a C interpreter and see if it ever triggers undefined behavior. As I understand it, the C standard is written so that all undefined behavior is able to be caught in this manner. I could even see something like gcc coming with a 'create an interpreted executable for debugging purposes' flag.

It wouldn't constitute a formal proof or anything, but it would solve the problem of people leaving overflow and null pointer checks in plain sight expecting them to be hit.

Looks like she lost both of those somewhere along the way.
I didn't realize it was that old. Also surprised that intraprocedural techniques havent had as much adoption. There's potential there for improvement in real-world compilers. Just gotta integrate it with Clang or GCC which Im pretty sure academics already have in prototypes. Then make it fast.
Young Saudis See Cushy Jobs Vanish Along with Nation’s Oil Wealth
Robert Bear, a former CIA case officer, wrote a book with this theme called "Sleeping With the Devil". He gives a history of the country, US relations with it, and argues that the situation in Saudi Arabia is not sustainable.

Bear might be better known as the author of "Hear No Evil", a memoir of his time in the CIA, which the movie Syriana was loosely based on.

Apple had always been involved in that space. The Newton, the eMate, the collaboration with Motorola, and (obviously) the iPod, were all in the same type of device. The latter even had scheduling, contacts and downloadable games which you could buy the iTunes Store, before the iPhone was released.
Ambient sound has a tremendous capacity to alter one's mood.

Causal explanations in terms of brainwaves, etc, are invariably psuedoscience, but that does not mean that the placebo effect is the only thing going on here.
Yes, that is the conclusion pushed in the usual organs. But the New Yorker had already published a bin-Laden assassination piece that supported the official narrative. Hersh himself says they (i.e. David Remnick) simply weren't interested in revisiting the story. Hersh further claims that he warned Remnick soon after the bin-Laden raid that the official story was being disputed by his sources and suggested he write a story, which Remnick countered with the suggestion of a blog article. (A blow-off?) If it's true that Hersh personally warned Remnick that the official story was problematic, the New Yorker publishing Nicholas Schmidle's story and passing on Hersh's looks to have less to do with fact-checking and more to do with editorial position. Since the New Yorker didn't want to buy, Hersh shopped the story elsewhere, which is simply how freelancers go about business. (It was actually the Washington Post that allegedly passed on the story because of "sourcing" standards.)

Hersh claims to have sold the story to LRB for the "politics" of it, the meaning of which is uncertain. But as he hopes to have a book published on the "war on terror", it is not out of the question that he selected them to establish rapport. And that he chose them, instead of resorting to them out of some kind of desperation owing to defects in the work itself, seems pretty clear.

The Obama administration is widely claimed by non-partisan journalists and journalist groups as being openly hostile toward the press and has used espionage provisions to prosecute officials deemed to have "leaked" inside information via the types of conversations that would previously have been considered business-as-usual. (Despite opening his presidency with rhetoric about being the most "open" and "transparent" administration in history.) This has resulted in administration staffers & officials being paralyzed and fearful of speaking with the press at all, stymieing journalists' attempts at effectively covering the government and acting as the fourth estate. While it is unfortunate that we cannot quantify whether one administration has experienced more or less scrutiny than others, blithely asserting to the contrary is not a reasonable position in this context.

I read Learn You a Haskell but it seems to only cover beginning topics of Haskell. However I don't really recall much being made for intermediate or advanced Haskellers? At least I looked, hoping to learn more but didn't find anything that sounded particularly promising. If you have anything to recommend please let me know. I heard Real World Haskell was good but unfortunately hasn't been kept up to date.
Similar service which I really like (no AI, but you can calibrate the sounds to match your hearing curve) https://mynoise.net/
I feel as though you picked a single statement out of my comment and took it out of context.

The whole concept of running the hamster wheel in the first place is flawed; who are you "falling behind" if not comparing yourself to other people.

The article wants us to "take a fucking step back for a moment, stop beating ourselves up into oblivion, and to let the cogs turn as they will". What I'm saying is don't put yourself in that situation in the first place. Take joy and find meaning in the day-to-day of what you're doing, instead of setting the expectation that you're supposed to be "better than anyone else", at anything, really.

joslin01 said it pretty well in another comment: "It's best to be honest with yourself and come to terms with where you are in life and where you want to be. After that, unless you put action into your belief, you will be sad. Even if you fail, but put action into the belief, you'll be happy and have grown."

So, I implore you, what is something you're actually going to do with this self-help article's new-found insight that you "can't control everything" and need to "just chill"? Will it bring you more happiness knowing that anytime you're running yourself ragged you can "step back" and reassure yourself that you're "just human"?
I'd say she took the helm of the Titanic moments before the iceberg. Not too much could've been done.
Let's add a third: security. You can't let a 3rd party advertiser send arbitrary web content to your customers, and then just wash your hands of it and say "It wasn't us, it was the ad network" when it eventually gets used to deliver malware to your customers.

It's like if you hired a housecleaning service and they told you "Whoops, looks like somebody took a dump on your living room floor. Not our fault though. It was a subcontractor."

I don't think multinational corporations are going to change their entire product line entirely on the basis of gossip about "the next big thing". Maybe some would, but surely not all. A decision like that would have to be made after doing some serious market research and testing sales of products with that feature against sales of products without it. If corporation A switched to only IoT devices and customers didn't want that, surely Corporation B which hasn't made the switch would gain more market share, then A would take note and switch back. There's too much money to be made by being the one company that still offers what consumers want. I don't understand this fear that profit-driven corporations will suddenly decide to add costly features in a world where no one wants them.
Before reading more about rebasing, I wouldn't have an opinion here, but like most things in programming I think it's a matter of philosophy.
Do we want the history to be "record of what actually happened" or "story of how your project was made." [0]

I see merits in both approaches: Rebase seems to be good when you want to focus on the project minus the process, while merging seems to be good when you want to know the process behind the project. For larger projects with multiple contributors, I think the merging approach is better because of the process visibility. For smaller projects with one or two developers, a rebase approach could be "cleaner" when looking through the logs later on.

I'm interested to hear what other's opinion on the topic as well.
