Make a quick note of where you where and what you where doing when you are interrupted.

Something as simple as "figuring out why the flexbox grid is doing foo on safari when it shouldn't be".

When you come back to the task in an hour you can then quickly remember what you where working on.

No. Not even close. I consider myself of average intelligence, I knew a lot of more intelligent people than me in my life. Some of them are even using meth now. I succeed because I stick to things, follow through, take pride in what I do and make sure I do as well as I can.

I was not an exceptional student, would have been but I worked 35 hours a week while attending college 12-19 hours a week plus studying till the library closed Sunday through Thursday.

I may not be a ninja developer or whatever but I'd honestly put money on myself over some genius-flake. And if someone has grit + genius... well, watch out because it would be amazing to see in action. Maybe that's Einstein in his later years. I'm sure everyone with a high IQ believes that description fits them, but in general geniuses don't have to try very hard so they never know what 'grit' is. Or what it takes for the rest of us.

I do think grit is partially taught in ways that are completely non-related to mental exercise. I grew up in the midwest in a house with no air conditioning because my father thought it would make us soft to have it. Thankfully the old man did buy us a Commodore. Yes, it gets hot in the midwest- just as hot as anywhere else in the summer. I was even raised in cloth diapers and I'm under 35... to give an idea of how old school. They also made sure I always worked, been working without lapse since I was 12 years old. I've worked on a hog farm in the July heat from 4AM-noon. While I was born in 82, I don't feel like a 'Millennial' at all. I feel like a very gritty person mentally and physically that is rare anymore but has paid off in ways. But definitely feel more in common with my brother's generation (born in '78, GenX) or maybe even older, less pampered gen.

From my perspective, American society is severely missing grit. People are going to have to toughen up because this softie society won't last forever. But I don't think people know the difference between false posturing tough guy aggression based on insecurity is and what real grit means. Too much tough guy gangster rap for the lower class and too many get-rich-quit-or-I-give-up flakes in the more fortunate classes.

I've heard multiple people in my lifetime tell me they "won't go to work for less than $15 an hour" or won't get out of bed for less than that. I've suffered years through horrible jobs to build a resume. Just to appear reliable, which I am.

Most people don't know what it takes to get ahead for those without lots of money and without a naturally high IQ. Sometimes it sucks but lays the groundwork for later on. It's about character.
I wonder if people blindly defending Marisa and painting her as a female hero will finally ope their eyes and see clearly that she is - at most - a very average CEO... Yahoo needed someone amazing and it failed to find one.
"I worked for 5 years as a high school teacher. In my observation, the "smartest kid in class" could be left in the dust by a "dumb kid" who decided to work hard."

my experience as a student at top 5 ugrad was similar: kids with top hs grades and work ethic destroyed the truly brilliant students (with top test scores) in terms of academic performance.
So she mentions safaris in a conversation and a facebook ad for safaris pops up.

I guess we're just going to ignore the fact that she could have been looking up safaris in Africa the day prior to their little demonstration? At no point do they indicate it was a randomly chosen topic.

Yahoo got where it was by being the first directory on the web. It was terrible — to get listed you had to submit an application and then whether and how you were listed was based on someone's arbitrary decision. It was like The App Store (hint to Apple — how'd that work out for Yahoo?).

Yahoo then failed to fix its shitty directory (it eventually licensed results from third parties) and built a successful ad platform that was never bleeding edge. Meanwhile Yahoo passed on Google and Facebook…

> someone who receives no education at all is going to be extremely hobbled in a modern society no matter how intelligent he is. At the other extreme, the best education in the world won't turn someone suffering from severe intellectual disability into a genius

And that assumes that "intelligent" depends on something you are born with, and that your biology and genetic makeup don't change over time.
> 99% sure this is not a coincidence, here's my theory: people's IRL conversations can be pretty reliably predicted by their Facebook conversations, so targeted ads based on messages tend to be surprisingly relevant to the next thing they talk about IRL.

That may be true, but my friends and I once did this with a made-up phrase about some housewares (think 'pots and pans' or something similar): we repeated the phrase over and over in discussion that evening — and sure enough, an ad popped up on Facebook.

This sounds pretty good from a user experience perspective, as long as there's a fallback method (click "can't log in" to send a text to my phone etc.).

If I die or am otherwise incapacitated, and my wife needs to access my accounts, she'll want to get my passwords from the safe (she's not great at remembering them). Biometrics is useless for this case, though maybe she can use the phone text fallback. It all sounds a little iffy, but then, passwords are iffy as well.

What fascinates me about Google is literally nothing else has stuck to the wall and they've thrown a LOT of rocks. Selling ads against search, the initial hit, still accounts for over 90% of their revenue.
As a rabid fan, I can actually understand that. But if you're an Anglophile (Python, early dr who, etc) then you owe it to yourself to give the original radio series a listen. The book is an adaptation of that, and while it captures the vision of the series it lacks the enthusiasm that the radio plays capture.

I was around when the takeover of Nokia R&D happened in Febuary 2011, I remember walking around the offices of Ruohulati in Helsinki and seeing a massive queue to the IT room, previously linux laptops were being reformatted to run windows.

I asked one of the project managers: "why, will it really change that much for us, I mean, there's hope right?"

they responded: "This is a takeover, I've seen it before, they're just not calling it that- they'll kill MeeGO in it's crib.. and for us, it's adapt or die".

By the end of the second week (Elop did an eloquent speech about the future of Meego) all the really senior technical experts were working for Intel despite Elop saying "they just want to sell chips" and being generally derogatory to Intel), all the designers and senior management went to Jolla (which tried to enter a market which is fairly dominated already as a startup), myself, I was fired.. and everyone else is still running the ghost ship, I wasn't a large fan of microsofts products going in to Nokia, which is why I liked Maemo/MeeGO for the phone and I could use Linux at work- but this move cemented them as assholes in my mind.

Nothing they do nowadays for good PR is going to change my mind of how surreptitiously they took over nokia and sent it into it's death spiral. Microsoft really loves to own and eventually destroy Nordic companies. (skype, minecraft, nokia) - lets see what they do with TeacherGaming.

Is unsigned integer support coming any time soon? Right now I'm using an integer and a computed property (Swift) to reinterpret the bit pattern as an unsigned value, which is... okay, I guess, as the field doesn't ever need to be queried. Filesize really matters in my case, so I don't want to go up an integer size.

It just seems like an odd limitation - it's all bits!

Very off-topic but what is your real-world use case for such an app? The site lists a couple but most of those seem to make more sense when using a recording app in the traditional, explicit, way (e.g. "we are having a meeting, I will record this meeting").
That's closer to stealing. You're taking certain resources, like a seat, air conditioning, power, cost of attendant salary, etc that on a small scale is barely noticeable as a cost, but the more people do it, the more it costs the theater. Conversely, the movie industry does not lose more money when lots of people pirate movies; they simply don't receive extra revenue.

In some cases the entertainment industry benefits from pirating. Some studies have shown how pirating can drive demand, and how the most voracious pirates also spend more money on entertainment.

As a citizen of an EU state, I'd say that the whole TISA thing looks like the rules that EU imposes on the EU member-states: non-discrimination against other member-state entities and limitations and/or requirements for local regulations. Also another similarity: there is almost zero-to-none chance for a member state to get out of EU - the cost would be just too big. Once TISA is signed it will be very hard to get out.

As our brief EU history has taught us: mostly the rules are good. But when they are not, there needs to be a way to amend them. The problem with TISA seems to be that once signed it puts most of the decision-making process into hands of people that were not elected by the people.
The same ideas are reflected in "Talent is Overrated" but that deals with topics outside of academics mostly.
I am aware of that. That's why analogies are usually not very useful.
This is an good question which I'm sure there is a good answer for, but which I haven't heard stated by particle physicists in a clean way that is widely accessible to other physicists. I believe the distinction generally hinges on whether the boson is a gauge boson, associated with some symmetry; this does not apply to the Higgs. But I don't really get why that makes it worthy of the intuitive label "force".

Here's one incomplete answer:

> Q: Why isn't Higgs coupling considered a fifth fundamental force?

> A: The Higgs exchange between matter particles can certainly be called a force. Whether it can be viewed a fundamental force, is a matter of taste. But there is one important distinction between the force due to the Higgs exchange and the usual fundamental interactions. The strong and electroweak interactions are described as gauge interactions. It means that they are not put by hand but arise automatically when you require that the matter fields be invariant under local certain internal transformations (phase rotations, color transformations, etc.). In contrast to that, the "Higgs force" is put into the model by hand, as its presence is not driven by any symmetry consideration. You can equally nicely consider a model with zero Yukawa coupling.

My understanding is that this was deployed internally first, so the calm that "people" don't get passwords seems like a stretch.

> What gives anyone, government or otherwise, the right to stop information at its source?

Defamatory falsehoods can sometimes be stopped by the government at its source.

Protecting individual privacy is an increasingly serious issue in the age of mass communication and smartphones.

Finally, the State routinely classifies information deemed sensitive to national security and foreign relations.

Well, it's not like they didn't have a longish list of other CEOs who tried to turn the ship around and failed to even slow its demise --at least she gave them breathing room and hope. It was probably just too late to be consequnetial.
That's a good first step.

However, flow is more than knowing what you're working on.

Maybe there are techniques to not lose that state of mind so easily?
I don't think the failure is on Mayer; Yahoo was a walking zombie before she arrived. They were the last remnant of the dot-com boom -- a media company without a significant role in content, advertising, shopping or computing. They had no technological advantage, or really any foundation for a competitive advantage to set them apart from the rest of the market.

Quite simply, Yahoo was culturally never a technology company. They defined themselves as a "media" company in the mid 90s to avoid drawing Microsoft's ire, but they said it for so long they believed it. They underinvested in technology throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, and by that time Google was the behemoth that Yahoo should have been. Yahoo is only around today because they recognized the emergence of China and made a lucky investment in Alibaba. Without that investment, Yahoo would have gone bust years ago.
Perl 6 Hands-On Workshop: Weatherapp (Part 2)
Amazon DMS (database migration service) actually works really well and allows you to do this without writing any code. You may need to change your Postgres config a bit.

DMS isn't just for moving two RDS it can also be used to move off or RDS or even move from one non-RDS server to another non-RDS server that isn't even on AWS.

It can also do Postres to MySQL, MySQL to Postgres, etc.

It also does continuous replication so once the copy is done it will keep up to date (yes, even if it is Postgres -> mySQL).

One gotcha, though, it does not bring over secondary keys so make sure to recreate them before sending traffic over.

But this article does provide some insight on how to configure Postgres to be similar to RDS in terms of functionality.

This is a solid example, in relation to the OP comment. Since you didn't know her name. But...there is still a possibility that you had mutual friends and her face popped up. I used FB a lot and FB cycles many friends multiple times, in the hope that someone connects with you. I'm really good a remembering faces and well, this was what happened to me, numerous times. I might not knew the person in January but in July, I'd randomly meet them. FB showed me their photo probably 5 times in the process but it wasn't until the 5th time that I requested.
Yes, the Turing completeness of Ethereum means it suffers from the unsolvable halting problem. There is no way to prove that a given Ethereum program does not have a bug that will cause it to halt at some point in the future. Thus it is dangerous to rely on an Ethereum contract as the sole means of releasing funds.

The voting problem is a more obvious flaw. There seems to be a naive optimism on the part of certain developers that simple voting rules will surface the best quality viewpoints. This is fine in hackernews, but is not OK for open source software development.
Last Whites of the East End (BBC Documentary 2016)
While I agree the App Store has it's fair share of issues, they do at least do more than 'here's the category an employee determined you should be, buried in subcategory after subcategory, and this is the only place people will ever find you' that the early Yahoo had.

They have dynamic lists based on sales and downloads (which has its own issues, admittedly) for every category that may be algorithm-based but has no human making arbitrary decisions for each individual app.

They also choose certain apps and feature them on the front page of the app store, which changes every week.

They also let developers choose their categories (instead of employees choosing the categories), and developers can choose more than one category.

They also let developers pick keywords (with some limitations) for users to find the apps via search terms.

Each app page has its own url, so it can be landed on via other methods throughout the web.

So all in all, it's very different from early Yahoo, and significantly better, and all of that would be plenty if they had like 1% of the total number of apps that they do, but they don't, so way too many apps get buried and unnoticed.

ZFS is what the filesystem your volume would be using. You should not store ("commit" really) the database data in a Docker image.

And even ARM was a special case - it was created on a shoestring budget by a few clever engineers at Acorn and marketed outside w/VLSI later. It's an interesting story :)

Hi evantai, please don't get me wrong as I'm really glad that you could figure out a better deal for you.

My comment should be seen more as a kind-of rant because, in one hand, there's lots of instability on the web dev subfield, on the other hand, there's too much people without real skills entering the job market and these things are interconnected. On a final note, my comment only shows to me that I should think about moving along to another CS subfield, as web dev is currently too "hot" and plagued by low quality tooling and practices.

All in all, it is me that is wrong, not you, as I've probably lost too much time learning only to be doing web dev.. :)
