I don't drink coffee at all. I eat a vegetarian sandwich every morning when I go to work, it gives me a good start for the day, I feel sharp and focused all morning. Sometimes when the sandwich shop is closed I buy something like a chicken sandwich, and that makes me more sleepy and tired.

Lunch is usually a big pile of rice with some vegetables and meat. Wow, this makes it reeeally hard to stay awake at the afternoon, but there aren't many options for lunch near the workplace.

For dinner, my wife cooks something also usually rice with some meat and veggies. But about 1 hour before I plan to go to sleep I eat 1 or 2 bananas. I always had hard time sleeping, and I read that bananas are good for sleeping because it contains potassium. For me it works. Although this might be completely placebo, because bananas don't work for my wife.
What is your biggest pain point as you develop software?
"Novelty Metrics" -- I kind of want to put that on my resume just to see what happens with it. Or, I could imagine an entertaining blog existing solely based on that premise.
I think you are correct.

My concern is that in the near future we're going to start seeing citizens scored on how much of a threat they are to the government. The scoring will be driven by comments in forums such as these. And that scoring system will not distinguish folks who are peaceful yet very angry from folks who are very angry and could become violent.

Combine that with automated enforcement of laws and we could be in a real world of shit.

I don't care which party runs the government. I'll even say screw it about how big the government is. We can have that fight another day. But over the last decade or two we're seeing the feedback systems break down. That's totally fucked.

(For comparison, think about the political tornado that happened in the 70s when the U.S. intelligence services were caught screwing up. Now compare that to them being caught doing as bad or worse things over the last few years.)

Well, that took a long time... I wonder what changed in the eleven years that Git and Mercurial were deployed to replace bitkeeper.
That's not true. SHA-1 is a 160-bit hash, which means that you'd expect it to take on average 2^80 hash computations to find a collision. The best attacks against full SHA-1 require more like 2^57 to 2^61 computations, and there are attacks against parts of SHA-1 that require quite a bit less than that (which indicates that the design is risky).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1#Cryptanalysis_and_valida...

The difference between 2^60 and 2^80 is huge. If 2^80 operations take, say, a thousand years, it would take only about 8 hours to do 2^60 operations.

(Also, there's the additional twist that SHA-1 isn't even the fastest known algorithm. If you switch to BLAKE2, you can get faster hashing, and the output is 256-bit, so the brute-force strength is 2^128, which more than makes up for each individual operation being a little faster. https://blake2.net/)

Curious why you think there was no harm done.
My guess is >99% of this data refers to corporations that are legitimate businesses that are fully compliant with the law. US persons have been required for years to disclose offshore bank accounts (through FBAR reports) and other offshore financial holdings (through IRS Form 8938 on tax returns, cf FATCA). I'm sure there is a team at the IRS that is busy comparing this data set to the IRS database, and woe to anyone that has not disclosed their offshore financial interests.

But it shouldn't be a surprise that people use offshore corporate structures to manage offshore businesses. The main reason this is necessary in the US is that the US taxes corporate profits worldwide, while other countries do not (they have territorial tax systems and do not tax profits earned in other countries). So US corporations have to set up these complex structures to achieve tax rates that are comparable to other developed countries.

This is HUGE for the independent film world.

It's currently incredibly hard to sell an independent film online via a well-known and trusted channel that people are used to buying through. The nearest equivalent before this was getting onto iTunes through an aggregator, which costs $1500 or so per film.

I'm tremendously happy Amazon have taken this step: it'll be a huge benefit for indie filmmakers.

LWE and SIS-based cryptography absolutely is lattice-based crypto, and I can't really imagine what other kind of scheme you would deem more deserving of the name than those. Even the epitome of classical lattice-based crypto, Ajtai-Dwork, is proved secure under a problem (hidden hyperplane) which is "not actually a lattice problem itself", at least not anymore than LWE and SIS. But being based on a problem equivalent to worst-case lattice problems under polynomial-time reductions strikes me as the strongest possible sense in which you could claim a scheme to be lattice-based.

As someone who is just getting started with frontend development, I decided to go with Elm instead of learning JS and React. I found the whole experience very pleasant, even as a beginner.

Not only is the elm code I write reliable, but I've found that adding more features does not bloat my code. Refactoring a codebase as it grows in elm is pleasant, and following the Elm Architecture guides me on the correct structure for the app.

Over the weekend I made a small site to show all Elm conference videos in one place.

> My Documents [Sort by Date]

At the top.

The way that one person manages their documents probably isn't going to be the same as another, but generally a person is consistent with all their files.

In this case, it's either a document that you have several types of, in which case you would have an existing folder structure, or it's a one-off that you dump in My Documents along with all your other one-offs. Even if you lose it, file systems all keep date-time information, so you can easily search for the all the files last modified yesterday.

The problem with liberal tagging is that it requires a bunch of up-front effort that you're never going to perform. In this case, if it were an email, you'd just use your email browser (specialized software!) to find the document again based on the things you remember about it (date, source, size, etc).
> Most people don't produce language in the same amounts that an interpreter will

It isn't really because of how much they sign (deaf people don't typically get RSI from sign language), but rather because of how they sign it. The signing is more precise and formal, the hands/arms are elevated more, and generally less "colloquial" than you would see in day-to-day sign language.

Yeah, what I found most interesting though is that even though they aren't being compensated for it, they are still using the exact same internalizers as brokerages that are.

This is at least evidence that Vanguard (the brokerage with the best reputation for consumers) thinks that the internalizers are a better way to route (securities) than the other options on their own merits.
Since a few years I've settled upon Xubuntu, because I like the Ubuntu base and the XFCE desktop environment. Personally, I think it hits close to the happy middle ground between lean and minimalistic on the one hand and flashy with everything including the kitchen sink on the other hand. I think MATE (UbuntuMATE) is also virtually equivalent to XFCE (Xubuntu).

Something like Xubuntu, UbuntuMATE, Linux Mint or elementaryOS might fit the bill for grandmas (and for me, as I want something that just works, is relatively simple and resource efficient and based on the traditional desktop paradigm).
Elm has always been "that language I dabble in every now and then but never have time for"... good to see it's evolving. Evan and Richard (creator and main evangelist, respectively) are a great team and I hope them the best (and I hope I get more time to mess around with Elm!).
This is very cool... but also, kind of a bit late. The market already adopted git and the momentum is there. Unless there is a trivial way to switch back and forth from git or there is something that is orders of magnitude better, this is a decade too late.
In the article they mention 15cents/6cents per hour. Is it considered a lot compared to ad revenue ?

To give people some context, the difference between the two (Shia vs Sunni Muslims) is that the Shia believe Mohammed's son-in-law should have been his rightful successor (and he eventually did become the leader) while Sunni's believe that Mohammed Father-In-Law was his rightful successor (too bad God couldn't have made that more clear).

Also Saudi doesn't just follow plain old Sunni Islam. They practice Wahhabism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahhabism) which has a more literal reading of the Quran (which explains the higher percentage of extremism). The royal family leveraged Wahhabism to gain and keep power of the region.

As long as the countries remain governed by religious politics and inflict God's so called will on others, there cannot be an end to the conflict.

I was really surprised by Captain America's objections. He didn't even get into the details or give it a chance. And this was even after he was out in the field and saw a tragedy happen.

edit: had moar thoughts

I dare say that Captain America is the one with the ego problem, not Tony Stark.

And if Bucky ( the Winter Solder ) is an honorable man and worth Captain America's time and energy, why doesn't he agree to face justice? Especially when he sees the VIDEO of one of his crimes. He even says he's not worth all this trouble. Is he playing a victim now? Under the protection of the egotistical Captain America?
This looks very cool.

In ClojureScript, we have the re-frame pattern/framework, which is built on Reagent, which is a ClojureScript wrapper of React.

re-frame is all about subscriptions, using a "big atom" to hold application state client-side. Seeing Elm implement the same subscription pattern makes it look pretty tempting.

My understanding is that ClojureScript and Elm have some similarities - functional, pleasant to work with - with one significant difference being that Elm is typed.
Does Elm have any nice interfaces for common JS frameworks? (like reagent / om in clojurescript, or angular2 for dart / typescript)

Broadcast television spectrum wasn't allocated by auction. It was allocated by government bureaucrats deciding what was most important.

It's in the public's interest to maximize the economic revenues generated from the resource.

Volume of signing isn't totally unrelated - even if you presume 4 hours of signing time per day, most people don't speak/sign for that long an amount of time. It's more than a typical deaf person, any way you slice it.

But, you're right - the manner of signing has something to do with it as well, and I've amended my comment to reflect that. :)
For people who don't know the history -- McVoy offered free bitkeeper licenses to various open source projects, and the Linux kernel switched to it.

After Andrew Tridgell (SAMBA, among other projects) reverse-engineered the bitkeeper protocol [1] in order to create his own client, the license was rescinded for everyone.

As a result, Linus wrote git.

To get back to the topic on fixed fee: I asked a young lawyer at that firm why don't they move to that. He replied that every case that comes to them is different. That they always dig up some weird data that time isn't budgeted for. What's a client going to do? Tell them no and potentially loose a million dollar case to save $10k?

Granted this sounds like a license to print money and shows that the legal profession isn't as cut and dried as say building a bridge. But the reason you are going to a law firm is because something weird showed up and you need it fixed as there is a lot to lose.

Notice I said "weird". There's plenty of room in this space for routine contracts. But that's rapidly going to zero profitablity with canned downloadable forms.
> 1. If the self selection occurs at the student levels (i.e. professors are hostile to conservatives which causes them to drop out of academia before they get to the teaching level) this is still bad.

Not necessarily; if someone realizes that their basic beliefs are incompatible with the basic tenets of an institution, that saves everyone time in the long run.

And I'd like to see some evidence, any evidence of professors being hostile to conservatives. And no, "God's not Dead" doesn't count. That's such a persecution complex strawman.

> 2. Even if it's entirely self selected, it's still a diversity problem.

There's diversity and there is pandering to vox populi and anti-intellectualism. The first is good, the second is not, and quite frankly, the face of modern conservatism in America has been anti-intellectual for quite some time.
