I remember specifically an issue in Europe a couple of years back where a series of snow avalanches was destroying hotels and killing people (in the alpes, I think - hotels had been built in illegal places). Roads were blocked and the only way out were helicopters. Supposedly there were some ugly displays of selfishness around getting on the helicopter first.
I'm not really convinced if its even possible for me to learn something that I'm not interested in.

Having done some SCA heavy, those open inner thighs make me twitch (armpits too, but less could be done about that).

One thing SCA has figured out that the sports industry seems to have failed to is how helms work.
It turns out the best way to extend the reduce the impact of hits to the head is NOT cushioning or crumpling to extend impulse but rather just having a lot of mass to move. I've been smashed over the head at full force (with a full wieght sword) while wearing full helm and been more harmed by the gong-like ringing than the impact itself.

If you have not had a chance to try or watch SCA heavy, It is essentially full contact re-enactment (slightly less formalized than HEMA) and only using blunt (but full weight) weapons.

I wouldn't respond to any of them.

I take it you haven't lived in a country where pronouncing "Dave" is tricky. If I was to not respond to everybody who didn't pronounce my name correctly when I lived in England it would have been some very lonely and infuriating years. At the end of the day I accepted that the exact pronunciation of my name wasn't that important as long as everybody understood who we where talking about.
Progress takes time and money. Imagine they needed to take an 8 month break and raise 20M to fix a battery heating issue. Each component of a complex solution, like a solar plane, makes slow but steady progress: lighter/stronger materials, lighter/more durable batteries, etc. Software will also play a huge role automating and making resource efficiency better. The fact is that step one is cleared: flight around the world on solar power :)

This doesn't work at all for me. Something seems interesting to me (and my problem is, a lot of things interest me) and I start reading up on it, somewhere along the way there is something else that is referenced, which also seems interesting, so I read up on that...and so on. Pretty soon I've deviated far from where I started.

Interestingly, this doesn't happen in my day job :(

The number of rounds used in the key derivation function can be configured per keepass file in the "database settings". I increased it until it took a second or two on my slowest device (i.e. phone), which turned out to be 6 million rounds.

If the keepass docs are up to date, the default for the desktop application is only 6000 rounds which I feel is too low.

I've noticed that the Keepass2Android app uses a 500K default instead.
It's AskHistory, not AskForPersonalAnecdotes. History has the advantage of multiple personal anecdotes being cross-checked and compiled into a more or less reliable account. A personal anecdote may be interesting but not representative of anything.
Fantastic comment.
Read. And I don't just mean books (although they are a great place to start). Read technical blogs, read documentation, read other people's code. Seek out challenging reads that seem overly ambitious and use them to find out what your unknown-unknowns are, then use that knowledge to steer your learning.
Mostly what I anticipate I will need for the job. For my own pleasure I choose tools whose proponents talk with a reasonable voice. I dismiss any technonology when I see people that:

* Says that the rest of the world is doing it wrong and they will fix the situation with this "change of paradigm".

* Presents their products as a "social movement" that's "challenging the industry as we know it".

* Promises 10x productivity.

* In general, bases their success on attacking others. Specially if they say things like "everybody knows exceptions are like cancer".

* Uses grandilocuent names to call a two thousand lines library.

* The resulting code looks like gibberish. The most likely a child can understand it, the better. It it's directed at the elite programmers, bad.

* Doesn't put enough care on tooling.

Edit: OK, it's a very negative answer, but it's effective. It quickly discards 99% of shiny new things.

New Football Social Network for Football Fans – Social442
This guy was really asking for trouble when he went ballistic on an FBI agent, from the article:

he sent an agent 80 increasingly overheated messages in 10 days. In one, he declared, “Just remember whatever ends up happening to you … You deserved it,” and added an expletive.
Exactly. This guy is such a smug bastard that he makes the perfect lightning rod for the whole country to direct their rage at, deflecting it away from the actual system that allows this to happen.
Off topic, but why does the NYT website have a 'show full article' button (on mobile at least)?
I look forward in time and try to imagine myself knowing/doing something new. Whatever pops in my head us what I go for. Always live in the future and build towards it.
Which was the major reason to arrest him in the first place.
While that is often true in software it is very seldom true in hardware. Think hard drives. The first HDD with HAMR (using lasers to heat up the platter to make it easier to isolate and flip a bit) required many millions of dollars to figure out how to do it. And when they started, no one knew if it was possible. Once they knew it was possible, creating a factory to build them was simple.
Valid reason to arrest him. Not a valid reason to sit in prison for 14 months, with no due process, trial, etc.

Edit: Also, to me, the context is fairly clear that the "threat" of "whatever ends up happening to you" is talking about the potential embarrassment or career consequences to the agent around ignoring advice that might save some hostage. He was (incorrectly) convinced he was trying to save lives, and frustrated that nobody would take him seriously.

Basically one interface which provides a seamless experience. Without the bots, I have to either download a bunch of apps or if they are already downloaded, I have to context switch between them. Likewise, I would have to search the web a lot and multiple click my way to what I want.
Indeed. I expect we'll synthesize jet fuel or a close equivalent (something that burns and reduces airframe weight) from electric or bio sources long after most other engines have moved to electric. Perhaps we'll generate electricity on board, but it will be with a dense, wasting fuel.

And we certainly aren't going to use solar to power commercial human air transport any time this millenium; it will always be better, for people, to compress energy before a flight and travel faster, than try to make the flight itself self-sustaining and travel slower. The only exception could be recreational flyers.

"especially with other Men", "I feel insecure that she really likes me"

This is the problem. You don't have confidence in yourself. You care too much about what others think of you.

To become a powerful man, stop worrying about what others think of you. I mean really stop worrying. Do what you have to do for YOURSELF.

Self defense class is a good idea. It might boost your physical and mental strength. Working out is also a good idea. Go do some chores around the house/apartment as well on a regular basis. For some weird reason, whenever I mow my lawn, I feel great and manly :)

Most importantly, believe in yourself. Tell yourself that YOU matter not just to others, but yourself. Love yourself. Be selfish. If others don't like you for who you are, then ignore them. Remember, be nice to people but don't be a doormat. If you believe in something, then stick to it (well unless it is illegal of course).

Read "The Virtue of Selfishness" by Ayn Rand.
To busy to find links, but the gist is that Greenland Ice Sheet melting disrupts the conveyor currents that transport heat energy between the equator and the poles. Coupled w/ greater warming, the higher temperature differential would support stronger and more frequent cyclonic storms (supported by models, current trends, and archeological evidence).
> So it should apply to any system with discrete GPU memory, which is surely quite a few systems?

No smartphones, no tablets, only a small minority of notebooks (not a single macbook, e.g.), none of the business desktop PCs (which are by far the majority, volume-wise), no servers nor workstations (except those that have them installed for GPGPU purposes).

The exception are gaming laptops/PCs (and those will need the VRAM for actual gaming) and servers/workstations with dedicated GPGPU cards (which, again, would need the VRAM for GPGPU purposes).

That only leaves a few cases where you have beefy hardware and don't use it, which isn't significant enough for OS vendors to bother with. Thirdparty VRAM-as-RAM (or RAM disk) kernel modules / FUSE layers pop up from time to time (this isn't nearly the first), but they never gain any traction.

> I guess those systems correlate with high-end systems with lots of system RAM anyway though...

Usually VRAM is less than a quarter of the system RAM, or even less. And usually those systems have so much system RAM that they have enough spare to make RAM disks an a valid option.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

I have worked on that project mostly in secret for over ten years, and I had resolved that yesterday had to be a release date of some kind. So yeah, I hadn't slept, and I needlessly (and foolishly) criticized the OP whose thread I'd recklessly hijacked for self-promotional purposes, hoping that a topical limerick from my college days would buy me a little good will.

I should have done a Show HN instead.
> Perhaps they value the publicity (and resulting discussion of their work as "serious art") more than the extra money a regular release could have brought.

... which is exactly what the previous posters said: The album isn't good enough to sell great and would likely hurt them in the long run and so a gimmick release will at least have positive publicity and wouldn't ruin the brand. If it was good enough, that publicity would outshine the gimmick release and would also bring in more money short-term.
Something I've always wanted is "a Netflix queue for tech I want to learn"

Ideal features would include:

- a regular review of the things you've listed to see if they're still relevant and to help you prioritize

- a way to see what's trending amongst everything you've listed (ex. I have three front end web frameworks on my list but React is collectively popular, so perhaps I should start there)

- it could notify you if a new (good) book / blog post is published on a topic you're interested in

- you could compare with your friends to see if someone you know has learned it recently or to sit down and hack together

- it could share a common list of subtasks across users -- for example, starting with Django Rest Framework might consist of: (1) doing the python tutorial + (2) doing the Django tutorial + (3) doing the DRF tutorial

9 Great Paths to Recurring Revenue for Your Startup
Mo' data, mo' problems

As your data set grows, unbounded variance grows nonlinearly compared to the valid data. As variance increases, deviations grow larger, and happen more frequently. This causes spurious relationships grow much faster than authentic ones. The noise becomes the signal.

Related: Overfitting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting

Overfitting happens when you try add too many variables to your training data. This happens because people think that by adding more data (variables), they can remove bias. What they end up doing, is becoming better at describing the data they have, but not the overall phenomena.

It's counter intuitive but mathematically true.

I remember when the NDAA passed for the first time in the budget bill, Obama said it would not actually be used to keep people indefinitely in prison with no trial. In reality, the government has already been doing that to people, even before the NDAA passed, and now the NDAA just represents legal cover.

Kind of how they repealed the law that said the US government can't use propaganda on US soil, and now they can also do that in one way or another (either through the MSM or through Internet psyops).
You cannot acquire what you are looking for; you can only cultivate it and you need to interact with other people for that to happen. Unconditional love for yourself and the world around you is a quality that transcends the masculine or feminine.

There is no shame in avoiding conflict. Learn to love yourself consider yourself an accomplishment. Express yourself and share in this experience with the rest of your fellow travellers.

Ride the waves my friend and make your peace with the unknown.

Not that this is entirely relevant to this specific trial, but: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3902221/

As great as this is, all this does is marginally boost the odds of general success for this treatment in humans from "minuscule" to "low." It's greatly encouraging news if you're trying to keep the funding train going (which they should!), but for us normal humans, this won't mean anything until at least phase 1, if not phase 2.
