> what is the w-word?

> I really don't get this obsession over hiding the existence of these words.

You've kind of answered your own question there. If you hide the words, then people who don't know them (eg children), don't learn a new offensive term.

I'm not saying I support the policy; I'm just saying that I understand why people do it.
We have looked at my wife's data when she had a panic attack a while back. You could almost see the exact point it started as well as when it tapered off.

It was interesting in her case to see that her heart rate jumped well before she thought it did, and that the actual "trigger" to her attack may not have been what she thought it was.
You can avoid the auto-playing video stuff in Firefox with the media.autoplay.enabled setting. It makes things slightly awkward, since web apps assume autoplay will work, but avoids that dumb problem.
so, what about the need of having a huge open space to appreciate virtual environments in freedom?
I'm pretty sure we've been hardwired to seek sexual/romantic companionship since long, long, before there was such a thing as "media" or even the written word.
Thanks. I'll check out the FB group you mention. Your game, or what we can currently see of it, reminds me of the (classical) "Reflections" laser game of a few years back which is a good thing! And I suspect the hackpad list will take me more than a weekend to play through :)
Thank you Alan, your answer is the exact reason that I asked that question.
I suspect that both VR immersion and self-driving cars will always be "just around the corner." We want to believe in them, but in both cases there are obstacles that may be insurmountable or will at least force us to scale back our hopes. In the former (VR) they are technical/biological and in the latter (self-driving cars) they are technical/environmental.

Or visual systems are too tightly integrated with our motion systems and other sensory systems to be handled independently, just as traffic lanes are too exposed to other influences (unpredictable people and things) to allow vehicular autonomy.

In both cases we want to see the thing we want to do by itself but there are deep interdependencies.

I'd love to see a public discussion on this. Intuitively, I think you could be right that church participation brings about happiness and reduces alienation, but it's hard to discuss in a complete void of data. I admit I didn't look very hard, but a quick search only yielded a Pew Research study which showed that weekly church attendance was correlated with happiness, but being in good health had a much stronger correlation.

There are a bunch of related issues I'd like to discuss:

1. Church attendance isn't available to everyone. Specifically, LGBTQ folks are often excluded. In a broader sense, does church attendance still make you happy and reduce alienation if you don't agree with the church's dogma? You claim that "Whether you actually donate and believe everything that is said isn't really a factor" but in my personal experience that was a very large factor.

2. Why do people believe that this is unpopular to discuss? You're not the first person I've heard claim this.

3. Instead of comparing church-attendance to non-church-attendance, is there data which compares church attendance to attendance of other social groups (clubs, activity groups, etc.) which meet weekly?

4. Have there been any attempts to replicate the benefits of church with secular community organizations; i.e. a group that meets weekly and someone gives a talk about some topic (science!)?
This looks like an excellent alternative to Telegram or Signal group chats. Telegram group chats work so darn good, but they're not end-to-end encrypted if you want to be able to access them from more than one device. Signal/WhatsApp group chats are end-to-end encrypted but aren't nearly as seamless.

Self hosted but not end-end-encrypted would be a good compromise i believe. I love that there's a web client. Has anyone really put it to work? I'd love to hear how well it works, in practice.

Except in practice you aren't. Most pantens are so vaguely worded that any independent solution to a problem can be claimed to infringe on a patent. And even if you don't actually infringe on the patent, you better have a couple of years and a few $100k-$millions to dedicate to the court battle to prove that.
I believe people in the US are more mobile, so you can end up living in area where you are 1000 kilometers away from your children or family.

In Europe, people are generally less mobile (geographically) and countries are smaller, so you can still work in the city and still live in the vicinity of your elderly parents (let's say one-two hour drive).

Maybe less obvious, but people in Europe also tend to have more vacation (understatement), so it is much easier to visit your family more frequently.

As a European I am always surprised that people only see their family during Thanksgiving. I don't have data but looking at people I know, you see your family much more frequently there.

When should you store serialized objects in the database? (2010)
> [...] you can't require people to spend weeks learning it before they commit a single line of code.

But you can expect them to spend two hours to understand the little number of
fundamental objects that git works with, and maybe another quarter for basic
operations (fetch, push, merge).
On the last point: storage sizes on laptops have plateaued. I've got a 256gb SSD in my three year old rMBP, and can't see any reason why I'd want more in my new one.

There is incredible power in the git command line and to simply write it off is silly. If you take the time to learn a bit about how it works under the hood it makes a lot more sense. When you truly understand that it is just a directed graph, along with blobs, and trees. All of which are represented by hashes. Dig in because your seriously missing out just using a GUI.
About your second point, the only reason companies might do is to show growth and get more funding. Otherwise it's plain stupid IMO. For enterprise customers the predicting lifetime value might be tough, but in consumer business,they should be able to predict at least the average lifetime.

Rails should stop messing with Javascript all together. Drop JQuery, CoffeeScript, TurboLinks and what not and let the users decide what to use, make it optional. Rails shouldn't require a JS engine in order to run.

Maybe it turns out people checking their phone while they're with you is fine -- doesn't hurt social bonding in any way. Some of my shyer friends tell me it's actually helped them thrive in social situations. Whenever they get overwhelmed, they can take shelter with the phone for a bit.
Why is a central authority controlling the market again ? What we need is interfaces for the customer and workers that can be matched together by a broker. It's probably quite hard to find the right interface but it would then benefit everyone.

Here is a simpler example for a Uber-like implementation:

* Taxis would be advertising their current position and whenever they they are free or not with their phone.

* Potential customers would advertise their current location and where they want to go with their phone.

* Broker services would match taxis with customers

Obviously it's more complicated than that, there could be a reputation service associated to an account for example and your own algorithm running on your phone that chooses the combination of trust and pricing that you want.
Pseudocode has a definition, you can't just make one up in an attempt to not look foolish.

I guess if you are unwilling to share your stack or any information other than the fact that you write stuff on paper and don't know what pseudocode is, then we don't have much to discuss, and you haven't really made any convincing arguments to your "superior" coding methods.

Yes. And some other cities as well. But there's really no US city other than [EDIT: parts of] NYC where not owning a car is widely viewed as typical and just part of the culture.

You can certainly live in Boston, say, without a car but many/most of the tech jobs are out in the suburbs as are, most likely, many of your friends. As a result, most people will find that not owning a car becomes limiting at some point.

(This is probably less true than it used to be. If nothing else, services like Zipcar make it easier to drive out to the suburbs for a party or whatever. And more people of a certain demographic are probably clustering in the city after school. But move forward a few years and most people will want the mobility provided by a car.)
If you've been a web dev for 10 years then you'll know that the most fundamental tool for scripting is a pain point (document ready), jQuery did a good job of abstracting the nuances away, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/799981/document-ready-equ...

It can be tougher in consumer businesses. A game may seem hot for a while, but then all the users move at once. Or early adopters use the software longer or slower than the average user who comes later.

This doesn't mean they shouldn't be measured, just that it's very tough to get it accurate, and a small change in user churn can have a huge impact on corporate valuation.

To me (coffee-deprived Physics Bsc.) nothing jumps out as particularly erroneous, pretty fun. Save for some weird behaviour when you try to move the particles to fast as is noted in the game. I could also get some parts of the wave function outside of the bounds of the level (but within the applet) I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen? How do you model/simulate the fields?

I was actually thinking of making my own little Quantum game to see if it could be made fun. I was thinking of making a QGolf system, where you tweak an initial stationary wavefunction which is then collapsed after a certain time. Although these kinds of mechanics probably work better.

>Until I made this game I was pretty confused about the uncertainty principle. The way it’s usually taught, without resorting to maths, is to say something like this:

>Until I made Quantum Marble Maze (QMM) I had never heard a satisfying explanation for why frequency and momentum are the same thing. This is called Planck’s relation. Sure, you can demonstrate classically that higher frequency waves carry more energy, but does that really mean a particle changes frequency if you change its momentum – in other words if you push it?

If you know how to do Fourier Transforms, note that the momentum-wavefunction is the Fourier Transform of the postion-wavefunction. And in order to make a well defined peak using sines & cosines, you need a lot of high frequency (high momentum) waves. IIRC this is shown in Griffiths Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, quite a good introduction to QM.

Here's some info on solder columns for everyone else: http://www.topline.tv/CCGA_column.html

While reading that myself, I also happened upon solder springs, which seem like an even niftier idea: http://www.topline.tv/CCGA_MCS_Micro_Coil_Spring.html

Apparently that company makes the solder springs available also has RoHS safe versions of them, perhaps this could solve the cracking problem?

Another company has a paper out which says that you can use their solder column attach process with existing BGA chips: http://www.solderability.com/newsletter082005/ConvertingBGAC...

Could some manufacturer (while unlikely, curious if it's possible) choose to use solder springs with this SSD's BGA package to make it more mechanically reliable when installed?

From George Bernard Shaw's "The Man Of Destiny":

No, because the English are a race apart. No Englishman is too low to have scruples: no Englishman is high enough to be free from their tyranny. But every Englishman is born with a certain miraculous power that makes him master of the world. When he wants a thing, he never tells himself that he wants it. He waits patiently until there comes into his mind, no one knows how, a burning conviction that it is his moral and religious duty to conquer those who have got the thing he wants. Then he becomes irresistible.

Like the aristocrat, he does what pleases him and grabs what he wants: like the shopkeeper, he pursues his purpose with the industry and steadfastness that come from strong religious conviction and deep sense of moral responsibility. He is never at a loss for an effective moral attitude. As the great champion of freedom and national independence, he conquers and annexes half the world, and calls it Colonization. When he wants a new market for his adulterated Manchester goods, he sends a missionary to teach the natives the gospel of peace. The natives kill the missionary: he flies to arms in defence of Christianity; fights for it; conquers for it; and takes the market as a reward from heaven.

In defence of his island shores, he puts a chaplain on board his ship; nails a flag with a cross on it to his top-gallant mast; and sails to the ends of the earth, sinking, burning and destroying all who dispute the empire of the seas with him. He boasts that a slave is free the moment his foot touches British soil; and he sells the children of his poor at six years of age to work under the lash in his factories for sixteen hours a day. He makes two revolutions, and then declares war on our one in the name of law and order.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles, and cuts off his king's head on republican principles. His watchword is always duty; and he never forgets that the nation which lets its duty get on the opposite side to its interest is lost.
