Pick a spot where it's hard to be objectively productive, e.g. on the elliptical at the gym (hard to code), or train (uncomfortable if packed train, too much stimulus). Read there. When you are home, work.

Personally, I don't track time spent reading, unless it's to understand how to solve a specific problem.

I think the great majority of people should read these books - in a matter of hours they can be a fly on the wall. Mistakes cost money and time. Also, most people aren't around people who have had success in this avenue, so being 'around' the authors does help to make their goal real.

The idea that lies and misinformation can spread quickly and widely on the internet is proven almost daily. If you've ever seen a onion or any other satirical website post a story and then get shared liked, commented on, restated and then its like wait did none of you 60-70 ppl realize the article was fake?

It's not stated very directly, but it appears the article is referring to hybrid propulsion systems much like in hybrid cars. That certainly makes sense for reducing fuel costs, as well as reducing the volume of fuel you'd need, thus reducing weight as well.

The Coral snake is debatable: it is so deadly that no animal can "learn" by getting bitten by it.

Instead one theory is that the mimicry is in reverse: the coral snake is mimicking the non-fatally venomous "false coral snake" which is also more numerous.

There are a variety of different theories on mimicry, and the science of the coral snake is still debated...
> A single statically linked application would, barring some really amazing innovations in something like Clang modules, have to be in one language therefore from one community.

Not necessarily. If they all can compile to native machine code with the same C-like semantics, they can (in theory) be combined in that sort of manner. This is true of both Rust and Go, last I checked, as it is with pretty much any compiled language that has a "convert to C" step (Chicken Scheme is an example that I'm particularly familiar with) or perhaps even a "convert to LLVM IR" step.

Not that this is especially feasible for the majority of languages being used in web development (at least by those with a lick of sanity; Go and Scheme are the only exceptions that I'm aware of off the top of my head), but it's still worth considering.

You are vastly underestimating the strength and durability of an eagle. Eagles are birds of prey. They can fuck up wolves and goats both of which have significant characteristics to deal out damage themselves. I would guess an Eagle could take down any consumer level drone without any issue what-so-ever. Military drones are another matter completely.

Eagles manufacture themselves and training them to take something out of the sky is probably not much more difficult than training a dog to play fetch.

1) It’s super cool that it works.

2) It’s not ready yet. Lots of stuff doesn’t work, though much does.

3) It’s oddly separate from Windows, which makes perfect sense, but the unix is so much less integrated than mac (or obviously linux) systems are.

3a) Not being able to launch windows binaries from Bash makes scripting hybrid stuff hard. I think this will be fixed at some point.

3b) I’m not sure if the windows file explorer can see the ubuntu root fs. Could be wrong here.

It seems that once it goes 1.0, it will have some advantages over a VM with shared files, but also a few disadvantages.
> Being able to assure by default that all of a user's spawned processes are terminated when the user logs out is a much more secure default behavior than the opposite.

When the user has explicitly requested that processes not terminate when he hangs up by using the nohup command, that is precisely what not to do. This is fundamentally broken behaviour.

I don't use Windows much these days and haven't tried "Bash on Windows" but for many years I regularly used bash in cygwin on Windows. At the time I used PuTTYcyg (https://code.google.com/archive/p/puttycyg/) for my terminal emulator (apparenlty no longer maintained).

I remember it all working very nicely with little perceptible difference from working on Linux.

Dbus devs apparently asked themselves the same, added the concept of a user session to dbus alongside the existing login session.

Gnome code happens to get the two confused (or dbus fails to properly tell one form the other, likely by mixing old and new behavior).

From what I understood, the "freezer method" could work only in case of mechanical problems caused by wear. For example physical wear of the various hard drive bearings could lead to miss alignment of the read/write head and the tracks on the disk, therefore forcing the drive to operate at a lower temperature than "normal" tightens these bearings and reduces the miss alignment at least until the hard drive heats up again.

While I have no doubt that that's true for many republicans, Just the fact that Trump has gotten the popular vote for this election says to me that prejudice is a defining trait for most republicans, whereas the fight against that basically defines the democrat side of this election.

But let's say that we are indeed talking about conservatives who aren't hateful towards anywhere. That they're basically liberals, except for their beliefs about government involvement.

Sure, people deciding not to hire based purely on party affiliation is wrong, just like any other immaterial criteria. But that alone wouldn't explain the huge difference in employment rates.

The talk of liberal intolerance is actually directed at them not accepting racists and their ilk in their midst. When someone goes to a college and preaches racism, the liberal students riot and get them shut down, and then people talk about how intolerant the liberals were.

They weren't shouting down a theory of government involvement or some economic theory, they were shouting down racism.

Articles like this try to put a pretty spin on things, but they're just covering up their real agenda.

The author, as a liberal, appears to believe them. He's fallen for their attempt to spin the facts into a conspiracy against them. It's not. it's the natural consequence of their intolerance. If fewer conservatives were racist and misogynistic, they wouldn't have such a hard time getting employed in educational institutions, or giving talks at them.
When I'm stuck on Windows I install Cygwin and live in the Cygwin shell. It's almost like home.

I found it very useful for monitoring - instead of waiting for someone to write e.g. a Nagios script for the thing you want to keep an eye on, you can just write a bash script.

I have yet to have to try the official Microsoft bash. The question is whether it is competitive with Cygwin for these purposes. i.e., does it carry all the other GNU tools with it.

I gave up using Windows when the Windows rot got too bad after about a year and I couldn't be bothered reinstalling. YMMV.
You'd be much better off to simply have a few panels on a rack that you put out next to the plane. Being forced to haul around the extra weight of the panels on the top of the wings would be counterproductive, and if you really wanted the panels with you one day, you could pack them up and take them with you.
While ignoring the hell out of the actual mechanics, thus breaking behavior that has been with *nix for decades.

"Poorly engineered" and "over engineered" are different.

If the solution is running slow for no good reason it's poorly engineered. If it's unnecessarily difficult to implement it's poorly engineered. If it eats up too much memory because it does more than you need it for it's poorly engineered. If it's taking too long to create, it's poorly engineered.

In my experience I hear the term "over engineered" used by bitchy architects to describe components that have none of these problems, but are built, under the covers, using features of the underlying system or techniques that are unfamiliar to that architect. I hear it used to cover insecurity on teams containing members of very different skill levels.

If it's a problem, call it poorly engineered and get it fixed; if it's not a problem and you just can't read it, hit the books or get out of the way. The term "over engineered" just worries the suits, and does no good.

>The video you gave clearly showed how white men and white women get treated with privilege, yet your conclusion is that its only men who are privileged? How does that work?

Being white is clearly privileged in both cases. I never "concluded" that "only" white men are privileged. My other example was meant to specifically trigger the strongest reaction when a black man was paired with the white woman.

The way women are disadvantaged falls in other domains -- like the ability to get jobs in (at least some, probably most) STEM fields. It's a more nuanced distinction.

> Ever been physically attacked by a customer who then goes to accuses you for being mentally sick because the profession you took (a story I read by a male midwife, 99% female to male ratio).

Other stereotypes and arbitrary restrictions placed on gender are bad too. Male nurses are making inroads into the occupation, though they're still a minority. [1] Oddly enough, the men on average made more money per hour than the women.

But the point is that something like 95% of occupations are either skewed toward men or balanced, and you have to go looking hard for any skewed toward women. And if you're looking for well paying jobs, the difference is even more stark. Pointing out the few examples where women have the advantage is roughly equivalent to the "separate but equal" arguments in support of black and white segregation.

>There was a study by someone I no longer recall that showed how industries that has a single dominating gender, typically tend to create a work culture that infuses gender identity of the dominating group. Those of the minority gender then have to choose between either assimilate into that culture or leave. How much of "cultural pressures" could be explained by just that theory, and which gender is then privileged?

Doesn't matter. It could all be explained by that theory, and it would still be important to break open the industries (on both sides -- male nursing and women in STEM) by changing the culture.

Yes it can be uncomfortable. But the fact that a guy can graduate as a software engineer can look at a $100k+ offer out of college, and he can know that the career will be welcoming and comfortable, where a woman graduating with the same degree will face "bro" culture in a lot of companies, and be forced to "assimilate" into that culture or be ostracized? That's simply not OK.

Zero cost interoperability with your graphics API is a big one. Using CUDA for compute, and then mapping that data into OpenGL to draw it is way slower than it should be.
Again, I'm reading between the lines because the author left no other option. Things like, "A customer (his only one?) stopped paying (why?)"

I don't think you're wrong to be concerned about age discrimination, of course. But maybe this is an example of it, and maybe it's not.

I'm not sure why you think the fuel costs are off-putting. I fly a Cessna 150 which burn 5.5 gallons per hour. If you fill it with unleaded (which can be done with a $150 piece of paper), the fuel cost is less than $15/hr.

> For a GUI login, I'd expect systemd to do exactly this.

Processes have always done this when they receive a hangup (HUP) signal (unless they do something else, of course, but that's up to them).

That mechanism has existed for decades: it's called nohup.
Early PT6-114s (the turboprop engine on the early 208s) have a takeoff torque limit of 1658ft-lbs. Later PT6-114As (the current engine on the 208s) has a takeoff torque limit of 1865ft-lbs.

The Tesla P85D has less than half of that.

The Caravan has much less initial acceleration than a Tesla, but far more torque.
I spent a weekend building a certificate dashboard right into Calendar.app. The front-end may not be React and the back-end definitely isn't written in Go, but it works really well. I didn't even need to install Redis or another NoSQL database. The CRUD is outstanding and the search support is great, even if its not based on Solr.

I ported my solution to both Google Calendar and whatever that thing is that would be the Microsoft equivalent. Full mobile support, entirely cross-platform. You can even use it on someone else's computer I mean cloud.

The teardown and inspection of an electric motor is trivial compared to that of an internal combustion engine. Generally speaking, you'd undo a few fasteners, pop off a cover, and check/clean the rotor/windings. 15 minutes tops - heck, you could do it before every flight and it'd still be cheaper than paying for the 100-hour maintenance on a GA plane.
So silly question, is your Ruby installed in Bash accessible from normal Windows? And how?
When Google Reader was in its heyday, I remember thinking the futuristic promise of the web from the early 90s had finally arrived. I so miss it. So much effort is put into unique "platforms" nowadays — I get why Reader (and by extension RSS) can't survive in such an environment where exclusive attention of our eyeballs is monetized — but I do sometimes wish I would wake up to an announcement that RSS is a priority for big companies once again. One can dream.
I can voice my perspective. Essentially: bike-shedding, bedazzlement, and bloat.
Because continued development of the Web is an obvious, user-hostile money-grab. If you only care about getting your software to users, you have a million choices for your application runtime. If you want to monetize every user by selling their privacy or headspace, you have only one: i.e., "pirating" Facebook is a logical impossibility. Communicative efficacy on the Web has not improved since the early 1990s--Javascript and its ilk have virtually no positive effect on the usefulness of Wikipedia, for example. We're converting what was intended to be a transport for communication into a framework for writing portable software.

The thesis here is that there should be a digital way to share hypertext articles and other statically-described communication without pay the costs (privacy, rendering efficiency, security bugs, transport performance and uncacheability, accessibility) associated with a cross-platform sandboxed multimedia software runtime.
Flat taxes do not work, because the established system is one where there are two classes globally - the consumer class, that is productive to consume resources with the fruits of their labor, and the capital class, that owns the means of production and use the wealth that creates them to make more wealth.

If you take 30% of everyones income, the working class loses standard of living and upward mobility while the capitalist class reevaluates their investments to insure that, despite a 30% annual expense, you are growing your wealth regardless.

It is also a dangerous precedent. If your intention to tax sufficiently high to start peeling back the democracy distorting wealth inequality, the wealthy will just flee you, and you must remember - as they exist today, they are the arbiters of society, and dictate who lives and dies through economics. If anyone outright attacked them like that, you should expect a war in return.

The Houynhnms, from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", were a race of intelligent horses, whose entire society was based solely on reason.
