It can be really easy when filming/photographing your kids to forget this, in my experience, at least. Parents seem to focus on the kids to the exclusion of everything else. I make a conscious effort to get my wife or other adults in frame with the kid(s) when possible, now that I know what it's like to watch old home movies when you're all growed up. Also the occasional slow sweep of a room or other context before/after a shot so maybe they'll get a few more "oh wow, I remember that chair!"-type moments than they otherwise might. No one ever thinks to film the furniture :-)

I think you're missing the important point that Houshalter was being sarcastically critical of makmanalp's dismissive top-level comment, not the proof in the article.
My first reaction would be: This looks like a SEO hack "back in the 'ol days", where you would include relevant keywords with the same background color in your webpage :)

As others have commented, I guess it's a good idea to provide context of skills and competencies by describing your previous positions. Maybe a separate list for "skills" would be an option as well.

I came across some sites that required MS Word, which I still find weird, as extracting text from a PDF shouldn't be too hard as well.

Tethering is treated differently and that does have a tougher limit but I've made my peace with that particular restriction. It only hurt me when my cable broadband became flakey and I got lazy and switched to tethering instead of fixing it. Turned out to be an OS problem.

I agree with you here. It really annoys me when people tell me they hope their house continues to increase in value at an exponential rate. Houses are not like stocks, families don't buy and sell them to make money. They are places to live.

The people I hear this the most from are in the middle class, the ones who are most likely not to benefit from the increases.

I hope this thinking stops.
If you’re using the right language, proofs are programs; it’s as simple as that. “Compressing” a proof, then, amounts to doing what good programmers are already doing — noticing patterns and eliminating redundancy.

>How can someone think [VHS Video is] superior to modern alternatives?

There are two camps of people in the legacy-media market, collectors/nostalgists, archivist. There are many nostaligists who enjoy vinyl for the warm feeling it psycologically imparts and similarly so for VHS video.

Where the legacy-media market splits is when it comes to archivist. There are many archivist who prefer the vinyl medium over digital because of media-rot issues. The robustness of vinyl is exceptional compared to other medium [1] If you want to play back a CD you are reliant on a CD player and all of it's integrated circuits working properly to extract the information. With vinyl all you really need is something that rotates and a thin nail. This is attractive to archivists.

The closest equivalent of vinyl in the video domain is film: super low tech play back (heck you can even look at it) it's longevity is worse than vinyl though.

[1]probably due to it's low information density and how the data is sequenced. I.e. one aberrant perturbation of the medium or read head doesn't cause large chunks of the data to be lost or unreadable.
Two more credential-related UX disasters for the archives:

Vodafone Australia truncate passwords to 16 characters in their sign-up form. But they will accept a 20-character password in the login form. That is how I got my account locked.

Square Enix do something similar, but you can unlock your account using a secret Q&A. Unfortunately I had set my answer using a PS4, and PS4s have an input mode quirk that silently appends a space to strings. It took me two days to figure out that I needed a trailing space after my first car's maiden name.

Hilariously, with Square Enix you have to get the question right too, not just the answer. If you had a dog, and a car, and a mother, and a primary school, you might need a few tries...
RE2: A fast, safe, thread-friendly alternative to backtracking regex
A big assumption here is that the throwback to these old mediums is quality or artefacts but, with vinyl at least, I think that's largely wrong. Most of the arguments I see for it is the packaging. The package a vinyl record comes in has multiple large pieces of artwork, liner notes, lyrics etc. The medium also encourages listening to music as a main activity when we're all now so used to it being background noise.

With VHS you get crappy quality, you need more physical storage space (but, unlike vinyl, you don't get better packaging in return), and seeking is much more difficult (with vinyl seeking is almost as easy as CD/digital). Nostalgia is probably the biggest driver when it comes to VHS (in the same way audio cassettes are gaining in popularity).

It's referred to as a tour of duty because most of us are on 2 year appointments. At the end of that 2 years, there's an optional 2 year extension. These orgs haven't been around long enough for anyone to run out their second two years yet.

Personally, I love this format. It never would have even dawned on me to consider applying for a career position in the federal government, but when the job is time-limited, there's some decision making bug in the brain (even though I could have applied for a normal career position and then just left after 4 years!).

It's a great way to entice people to apply who never would have before.

We also need people in for the long haul. But lets solve one problem at a time!

This article misquotes what the report says. The actual content of the report is sufficiently damning by itself.

Claim: "nearly half of the TSA’s 60,000 employees have been cited for misconduct in recent years."

Actual: 27,000 had a complaint of some form made against them (the current employment is roughly 60,000, but the total number of unique employees over the period is not stated that I can find). The number of those complaints that warranted any action is not stated.
> if they ever decide to sell the house and claim the 10% increase as profit, where are they going to live next? They will just have to buy/rent another house, where their earlier profit will be going entirely towards paying the higher housing prices

There is a small argument that this is why we use leverage when buying house.

There's also the idea that 10% growth is hit with a 6%+ transaction fee because of real estate agents, brokers, and lenders.
I can't help but wonder if this data would inform lunar ISRU prospecting. As the Moon itself is short in heavy metals, protoplanetary bodies large enough to differentiate may have left troves of heavy elements wherever their cores ended up after impact.

I don't think any universities in the UK do these kind of diverse elective courses. Sometimes you can do one or two courses from outside your major, but they're courses from another major rather than something entirely standalone. Is this what is meant by a 'liberal arts' education?

The UK aggressively specialises. I started to specialise towards CS at around 16, and started to drop arts and other subjects then, two years before university, and at university I never took anything outside the CS course (apart from one Latin course, but that was unusual because I could already program).
> I don't think the razor market grew at all. Or, at least not enough to compensate the prices reduction. How could it? It's pretty much bounded.

Sure, it probably only grew a little, e.g. because of a few people who used to use blades past when they were dull and now replace them sooner. But not growing very much (or even not at all) is not being destroyed. It's the margins that are destroyed, not the market.

> About that second line, yes, any kind of coercion is an exception.

The trouble is, for high margin businesses, it's the rule rather than the exception.

The 'warmth' of vinyl isn't just due to the mastering (though this certainly plays a part), it's also meant to be because of the physical limitations of the vinyl itself. IIRC the grooves made for low frequencies are easier to create than the grooves for high frequencies.
There's WTF-8 to convert broken UTF-16 into something UTF-8ish.
https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/

I kind of wonder if paths not being allowed to contain NUL or '/' was one reason why for codepoints that are represented through more than one byte in UTF-8 (-> all non ASCII codepoints) all bytes have the most significant bit set to 1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Description) This makes it impossible to have multi-byte to contain valid ascii chars like `/`.

Note that macOS actually does decomposing unicode normalisation on file names, I guess because it makes handling case-insensitivity easier. (Just doing ascii case insensitivity also handles o+diaresis, but not the ö codepoint)

> you mean like a package manager? what's wrong with apt, brew etc

Yes, like a universal package manager, but only for quick and dirty dev environment setup. The problem with apt, brew etc is that brew is for Mac only, and APT is for debian-like distros only.

the script at https://get.docker.com/ is exactly what I was thinking of building. Thanks for the pointer. Now I can't think of anything for which Xin-like thing would be useful apart from Vagrant installation.
I mountain bike regularly, and I actively counter-steer all the time. It's super obvious if you know what to look for. I personally most feel it when doing fast, flat, sweeping turns. I lean the same direction as the turn, and the bike will feel like it wants to fall further in, making the turn sharper and sharper.

Pushing on the side of the handlebar on the direction I'm turning counters this desire of the bike to fall into the turn. That's counter-steering. It's a pretty unconscious action, and to most feels like what comes natural when one leans a bike to turn.
Thanks for mentioning Watson; I keep meaning to go back to it and see how limits have improved.
Right, yes, I should have been clearer, Kolmogorov complexity was just an example of the kind of thing I'm going for. I understand that Kolmogorov complexity doesn't quite cover it, though I don't think this precludes the notion of a measure that /does/ cover the idea of the fundamental complexity of a proof. It sure feels like there's something different about a proof that repeats the same functional form over and over again for 200TB vs 200TB of more complex statements.

For example, perhaps there exists somewhere a language that includes the most basic atoms of mathematics, and when you express a proof in that language - like the Principia Mathematica, perhaps - then maybe it's guaranteed to be in irreducable canonical-form, and then you can go on the complexity of that.

But I do now see that the 200TB should be considered part of the proof because you haven't verified the proof until you've tried every single item, versus when you've gone through normal short proof you're certain of the result by the end of it.
It would be as simple anesthetizing you, copying/uploading your brain, then euthanizing the body and "awakening" yourself in the computer. From your point of view, it would be no more discontinuous than waking up after surgery.
> I don't think it's fair to argue that gender/national origin can only make a positive impact on judgement, and not a negative impact as well.

Sotomayor does not argue that. She only argues that personal experience and perhaps cultural/innate differences (she doesn't argue for the latter, just notes that she is less opposed to the idea that it is possible than another who has addressed the issue) make a difference in judging, while stating that she hopes that the difference in the experiences she has due to her background (from those of a white male) would lead to a positive outcome on a particular class of issues.
Same here. About $30-35 for an Edwin Jagger razor and $8 for a 100-pack of Derby Extra blades; I've been using that same pack now for about 4 years! I still have 25 left.

However, be careful: if you're not used to using a double-edged safety razor, it has a high learning curve. You'll probably cut yourself when you're first learning. Read online tutorials about how to do it right, and very importantly, don't be in a hurry. Once you've gotten the hang of it (after a month or so), it's pretty easy, but it does take time to learn the proper technique.

>> "Heh. Everybody forgets that the Loudness War goes all the way back to even the Beatles. It's not new."

Loudness was something to strive for then sure but it wasn't crushing the dynamics out of music the way we've been doing since the 90's. Digital made that possible so older vinyl records will have much greater dynamic range.

Personally my preference for vinyl is packaging. I like large art, liner notes, and lyrics. I also like that it encourages me to make listening my main activity instead of using music as background noise. In these areas vinyl is superior but I don't think any medium is overall better than another. They're useful for different things. I subscribe to two streaming services and have headphones on most of the day. Without digital streaming I'd spend half the day flipping records and going crazy.
That's interesting. In mountain biking it is taught that must lean the bike to turn properly at speed. Some even go a step further and say lean the bike but not your body. I was pondering the physics of why it works the other day but didn't reach a definite conclusion. I guess it makes sense that you can't muscle a heavy motorcycle to lean over, but you could on a much lighter MTB.

Edit: I should mention in mountain biking you are frequently dealing with a low traction environment, which I think has a large impact on the techniques.
My nostalgia towards VCRs comes not from the inherent features of the format, but rather the circumstances around its usage.

Specifically, I fondly remember the days when all you needed to record TV was to push the 'record' button. You didn't have to indefinitely rent a set-top box from your cable provider; your video storage was easily expandable (just buy more tapes), there was no such thing as unskippable commercials or 'sorry you're not authorized to record this channel'.

It was a simpler time.
IIRC, the "no vinyl loudness war" argument is based on the fact that vinyl loudness is limited since it causes a higher probability of needle skipping. This is also the reason for why vinyls are recorded with the bass de-emphasised, needing a corresponding vinyl RIAA preamp.
No no, feel free to do a bit of Googling and find out for yourself.

The point of Ethereum to me is that I can write a service, fund it, and then have it run in perpetuity without any intervention from me.

How is that vanished? There is some small probability that the Ethereum community might from consensus around interfering with my service. But I'm no more worried about that than I am about Heroku or anyone else deciding I'm not allowed on the platform. If anything this episode has shown just how high that bar is on Ethereum as compared to centralized offerings.

People act like just because there is one tiny corner case where the full letter of the promise is unfulfilled that means the entire offering is void. But what offering doesn't have at least a few caveats?
What the hell are you even talking about? "There" is not the problem. Nowhere did I say anything close to what you're alluding to. That I'm closing off potential future ideas? You've run off on a series of tangents since your original post, none of which, of course, addressed anything I had been saying or asking.

Saying "my idea" is "the problem"? That's the position you want to stand by?

and using those words doesn't (by ANY measure) indicate I'm elevating it to a "higher level than it deserves." 1. You don't know what level it "deserves to be." 2. It is in fact, an idea that I have come up with, independent of anyone else. This is not to say that the idea isn't out there or original in and of itself, but it is okay for me to say it's "my idea." It also happens to be "an idea", as well. They aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm fixating on my (or an, if you prefer) idea to the extent it's the one I have and want to execute on at the moment. Yes, I have had (and will have) more ideas. That means nothing.

I've heard this was more of a psychological "target fixation" effect, unless I misunderstand the scenario you describe.
* It would be better just to say that you turn on a motorcycle by changing the angle of the motorcycle from vertical.*

Better than teaching students, "push right, go right. Push left, go left"? Yeah, I'm thinking your way isn't better. Your way, as I read it, just reinforces the idea of "you turn a single track vehicle by leaning". That might have some technical correctness, but it's practically worthless information as far telling a rider what they physically need to do.

Makes for great arguments on the Internet, though, and I'll bet if I cruised over to rec.moto it is still going on some twenty-five, thirty years later after it first started.
Israeli startups raise a record $1.7B in last quarter
Yesterday I couldn't use hipchat for a couple hours because it would lock up a cpu and fail to load. After doing some free debugging for them I realized they were locking up trying to extract urls out of some text with a regex. Simplified code: https://gist.github.com/shanemhansen/c4e5580f7d4c6265769b0df...

Pasting that content into hipchat will probably lock up your browser and webview based clients. Beware.

Lesson learned: don't parse user input with a regex.
Without some statistics to back it up and a solid definition of "razor market" it's hard to determine.

For example, we could consider electric razors, disposable razors, and replaceable head razors as three separate markets. They are substitute goods, so as the price for replaceable head razors fall that market grows. In response the market for electric razors and and disposable razors contract.
This isn't true. I know plenty of "Linux gurus with decades of experience" who navigate websites with the dexterity and awareness of a FPS champion.

To paraphrase Jonathan Blow, game developers have a large impact. This comes with great responsibility.

This permeates every aspect of the design: a game that consume significantly more resources than it should encourage players to renew their hardware sooner than they should have needed to —money that could be better spent elsewhere. Loading screen that take too long loses people's time. Only a bit of time, but with a lot of people. There are Skinner boxes like candy crush that prey on people's need for escapism, and create a compulsion that loses much of their time and sometimes money —we should consider prosecuting that last one criminally.

Eating too much of one's data plan is one responsibility among many. The sad fact, is most people are uninformed, ignorant, and don't want to learn. But the temptation to say they had it coming doesn't help. And even if people were careful, the mere need to be careful is a burden that would have been avoided if the game didn't consume so much freaking bandwidth.

---

YouTube can't reduce the bandwidth, short of re-encoding everything, which it probably does already. Plus, people expect movies take bandwidth. Same for Apple (they already compress music without the user's consent or knowledge, which is bad, but at least it saves bandwidth). Instagram pre-loading should probably be tunable, maybe even off by default, though.

---

If the app's bandwidth consumption exceeds all expectation, making the consumer whole should be considered. There is a point where this stuff is the app's fault.
