I'm on the same boat, except I had to drop both breakfast and dinner (2-course lunch, with fish and oranges in the evening) to maintain body weight without gaining fat!

I do this despite doing compound lifts (pull ups, dips, squats) while successfully gaining muscle strength.

Just my own singular data point but I've found that time spent getting the foundation right is never wasted. By the middle of the project, that early investment in engineering has usually paid for itself many times over in terms of faster feature implementation, higher reliability, and less time spent debugging and head scratching. Not to mention the quality of life improvement that then knocks on into better attitudes and motivation.

You're right Flenser. In fact there is typically more structure in a company running with Holacracy vs. a traditional management hierarchy. Or maybe more accurately, the structure is clearer and more explicit with Holacracy at play.

Understanding and Applying Cloud Native
I had this brought into sharp relief recently when I was reading Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (which has become one of my favorite books, coincidentally). There was a passage about how the "formal you" became an "informal you"—something that doesn't happen in English.

This passage, no matter how it was translated, would inevitably be jarring in English in a way that it wouldn't in Italian or even when translated to some other language which also makes that grammatical distinction.

Not that I'm complaining: if anything, it fit perfectly in a book as meta as If on a winter's night. It certainly made my experience deeper. But it also made it different than it would have been in other languages which makes you think...

WordPress 4.5 is current. Anyone doing WordPress will just skip this if they don't have developers that can fix the issues. Also while the base may work a lot of popular plugins (used to?) don't utilize WP_Query or whatever else WordPress offers.

It's also probably easier to add indexes to the code or rewrite the logic. Mostly it's bad database code that sucks on MySQL and would likely suck the same way on PostgreSQL.

Besides that if you use an object cache like memcache or redis you can avoid a lot of database accesses and InnoDB seems to be able to deal with concurrent tables like wp_comment.

Would be cool to see in WordPress itself but I doubt it.
Couldn't they just create a hardlink in a private, hidden directory that they control, and then symlink to that?

Then, it's OK if the original file gets renamed or moved, as long as it stays on the same FS. You still have your hardlink, and so your symlink still works.
I think he meant that MySQL is the only supported DB for Wordpress, and while you might be able to get it running on another DB after jumping through some hoops, it's probably not worth the effort.
I have no tattoos, and doubt I will, so this isn't about my self image. I downvoted you for being a dick.

And also for not really thinking this through. When a medium doesn't allow for iteration, people tend to a) make obvious choices, b) make conservative choices, and c) end up with regrets. As our ability to iterate in software has improved, we've ended up with more interesting work.

My bet is that we will see more total tattooings but fewer tattoo-years of flesh, so I think there will be a net decrease in seeing boring and/or shitty tattoos. I think the ones that people renew and/or make permanent will actually be better because they'll be more likely to get their dumb and/or exploratory tattoos done with temporary ink that they'll eventually let fade.

As such, we’re resetting the passwords for all users in our database."

I'm not sure this can be much clearer:

"For a while the association between sugar consumption and type 2 diabetes was thought to solely relate to weight gain, but new research conducted at UC San Francisco indicates that sugar intake may also be directly linked to diabetes."

"As far as I know, this is the first paper that has had data on the relationship of sugar consumption to diabetes. This has been a source of controversy forever. It's been very, very difficult to separate sugar from the calories it provides. This work is carefully done, it's interesting and it deserves attention."

Here's more on the study:

Quantity of sugar in food supply linked to diabetes rates, researcher says
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2013/02/quantity-of-s...

"Does eating too much sugar cause diabetes? For years, scientists have said 'not exactly.' Eating too much of any food, including sugar, can cause you to gain weight; it’s the resulting obesity that predisposes people to diabetes, according to the prevailing theory.

"But now the results of a large epidemiological study suggest sugar may also have a direct, independent link to diabetes. Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the University of California-Berkeley and the University of California-San Francisco examined data on sugar availability and diabetes rates from 175 countries over the past decade. After accounting for obesity and a large array of other factors, the researchers found that increased sugar in a population’s food supply was linked to higher diabetes rates, independent of obesity rates. Their study was published Feb. 27 in PLOS ONE."
To chime in on my workflow here, I used to be a heavy user of windows media player, until streaming became big and I bought into the Zune system - for which the software was incredible.

You could download media from the online library and it'd count as part of your local library, and you could create auto playlists that filtered all of your music (streaming and local) into those playlists. Then, you'd just auto-sync those to your devices.

This method isn't possible on any service anymore, and I believe it's because of increasingly more restrictive licensing. The closest I've found, and what I use today is google music. I upload all of my local content to them, and then mark songs that I 'like' as liked. GMusic has an autoplaylist of all my likes that I then sync to all my devices, including my car which has an android stereo.

I encourage everyone to step outside the Apple/Spotify walled gardens every now and then and resurvey the offerings - iTunes is just such an awful bit of software that it makes their service a non-starter for me. GMusic has a great mobile and web client, with download support which is all I need.

Out of curiosity, how often do your detached DBs update old records? The reason I ask is nostalgia. A company I worked with used MySQL as an embedded DB (laptops under their control). Yesterday, I thought about how absurd this was. The DB only inserted new records and read static records. An embedded SQL would have worked great here. Would that be true for you too?

How Markets Magnify the Role of Luck and Create the Illusion of Meritocracy
A republic is a government of laws, and not of men. The US, most decidedly, isn't. John Adams argues the semantics much better than I ever could:

They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men. If this definition be just, the British constitution is nothing more nor less than a republic, in which the king is first magistrate. This office being hereditary, and being possessed of such ample and splendid prerogatives, is no objection to the government’s being a republic, as long as it is bound by fixed laws, which the people have a voice in making, and a right to defend. An empire is a despotism, and an emperor a despot, bound by no law or limitation but his own will; it is a stretch of tyranny beyond absolute monarchy. -- Novanglus, February 6, 1775

The opposite of republic is not monarchy, it is tyranny. The only way out of tyranny for the U.S. is, by definition, to restore the rule of law, which the GP seems to clamour for.
&& / ?: may not be “branching operations”, the compiler could determine that the operands have no side effects (q->score is used in both branches and q must be a valid or invalid pointer in both) and collapse that down to just register select operations and math internally. Or, it may involve predication, with only the assignment of i to a register previously filled with 0 being predicated. The compiler has heuristics internally to determine what it should accomplish via math only versus predication versus branching, based on how long code sequences are, whether it can determine if the predicates are warp-uniform or not, etc. You would need to look at the SASS to see what is really going on. Furthermore, there may be more or less functional units in the HW for each kind of operation that you think of substituting for the original; let the compiler choose first.

However, this is not the level of optimization one should be concerned with first (or even fifth) in a problem like this in CUDA. This kind of algorithm should be global memory bandwidth bound only. Concentrate on scanning through the data once and compacting as you go, so you touch as little memory as possible.

> part of me feels like I'm missing out by reading a translation

In general I often feel the same, but in this particular instance it might make you feel better to know that William Weaver's translations are widely lauded.

Eco famously said Weaver's translation of The Name of the Rose was "much better than the original". :) And I've always found it pleasing to wonder if that might not even be true. One thinks of a translation as being necessarily inferior to an original, but depending on the two writers involved, there's no ab initia reason why it might not be better (for some given definition of "better", anyway - clearer, more accessible, more profound, etc).

The problem with this is you only have so many shots at a startup (you only have so much energy / free time / savings / time before you have other obligations).

My plan so far has been to lose fat in moderate amounts. I found that aiming to maintain the body weight while doing resistance training easily achieves that.

So every week I gain equal amount (in weight) of muscle to the fat lost. The difference is also visually noticeable (increased upper body muscle tone; decreased belly and lower back fat).

Presumably these satellites are transmitting data back to Earth? Is that channel not bidirectional?

For the "thinking a panda is a vulture" problem, don't humans fail in similar ways?

This is a good question. My impression is that humans fail and artificial neural networks fail but we don't know enough about the brain to say artificial neural networks fail in the same way as humans.

As another poster notes, humans accept human error more than computer error and I think that's because humans have an internal model of what other humans will do. If I see a car waving in a lane and going slowly, I have some ideas what's happening. I don't think that model would extend to a situation where neural network-driven car was acting "wonky".
