I'm making a game because I have this issue with many games coming out these days too. I actually like games that only last a few hours since they seem to respect my time more than others that pad for length (less "shit work" quests, creative stories given the lack of time for the player to get absorbed into them, etc.)

For some weeks, Firefox and Windows were failing. Consistently a ~400 MB file download had bad bytes, mostly at different locations. SMART monitoring said disks were okay. POST didn't complain. Old ASUS mobo, AMD processor, Windows XP Pro SP3 boot partition, Firefox 35.0.1. Solution: Booted into BIOS options, changed nothing, saved the result, computer now stable. Likely cause: A bad byte somewhere in the BIOS ROM.

I know several people who are voting for Trump even though they can't stand him because they think it will send a message. It's basically a "F-U" vote. I even know one who supported Sanders and is now voting for Trump.

Trump and Sanders are/were both very anti-establishment candidates, and their popularity comes from the fact that both talk about the economic collapse of the American interior.

I also get a strong sense that Brexit was a "F-U" vote. It's less about ideology than just blind hatred for the establishment at this point. If you're a member of the unnecessariat you have no future and nothing to lose, and the more jobs get outsourced or automated away the larger the unnecessariat will become. This will end in either totalitarian fascism or socialism. Since it's more about hate than ideology whether we get a Putin or a Chavez probably just depends on which side (hard left or hard right) fields a more appealing and charismatic demagogue at the right time.

I would gladly trade half my income to work half as many hours.

But I find I can only keep my knowledge current and skills sharp by putting in a lot of time.

If I worked half as much, I'd be worth less per hour, and total income would drop far more than 50%.
I have a few tips. First, change how you look at meditation. Think of it as getting comfortable with being bored, instead of trying to clear your mind of all thought. It might help to count, or to use a mala by moving it through your hands, one bead at a time, and focusing on the sensation of it passing. It might also help to focus on the sensation of the breath entering the body and leaving the body. Some people focus on the very sensation of the air passing over the nostrils, and lips. You might find that it's easiest to focus on the smell of the air, in which case, creating a subtle smell in the room via incense or candles might help.

I would also be very considerate of posture, especially as you are learning. Eventually, the posture you select will become second nature, so it's important that you select one that is not going to cause damage, or pain. I would suggest an active posture - one where you have to focus, in order to keep yourself in the posture would be best. Then, if your posture slips, you'll know it's because your attention is elsewhere, and you can bring yourself back into your body.

Finally (because I have to go, not because I have no more to say) consider doing short length meditation at the start. You want to do 20 minutes, twice a day, but it doesn't have to be all at once, at first. In the morning and evening, set a stop watch, and let it run, until you feel you can do no more. Then subtract a minute or so from that time, and set a timer. For the first week, start the timer, sit with yourself, and when the timer goes off, get up, stretch, move around and do nothing strenuous for about a minute, then sit back down and start again, until you've done the equivalent of 20 minutes. After the first week, increase the timer. Just keep increasing it as you get more comfortable, until you can just sit with yourself for the full 20 consecutive minutes in the morning and evening.
Yep it's maddening. We use pip-compile [1] at work and check-in the then totally-resolved requirements.txt. That is working for us well. However I still head-desk every time I just want to install a local package (with pip install -e) to work on it and pip runs amok, naïvely downgrading/upgrading/doing-whatever-it-pleases :/

Starting to do burlesque dance. I had to go downtown for a doctor's appointment, and on a whim, I scheduled it so that I could go check out a school whose calendar I'd subscribed to a month or so earlier.

I had fun, I kept going back. Got myself in great shape, got incredible amounts of confidence and charisma. These days I don't do it any more; the school moved to a less convenient location, and I ended up doing pole dance instead.

Getting in shape is great but it's boring; doing it with the context of learning something on top of it works amazingly well for me. And as a bonus, now i have no fear of looking stupid on a dance floor - I know a lot of interesting things to do to a beat.

Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it (much like sex :)). We do hobbies in our spare time, for their own sake, and for our own gratification. Whether they accomplish anything is totally irrelevant, in my view.

Compare Varoufakis' experience with the observations of Timothy Geithner in his book Stress Test as I mentioned somewhere up the tree. His book is mainly about US but his observations of the process in Europe (middle chapters) reach a similar conclusion regarding the wisdom of the policy, albeit expressed in less polemical language.

https://github.com/qmachine/qmachine

"QM is an open-sourced, publicly available web service that acts as a messaging system for posting tasks and retrieving results over HTTP. The illustrative application described here distributes the analyses of 20 Streptococcus pneumoniae genomes for shared suffixes. Because all analytical and data retrieval tasks are executed by volunteer machines, few server resources are required. Any modern web browser can submit those tasks and/or volunteer to execute them without installing any extra plugins or programs. A client library provides high-level distribution templates including MapReduce. This stark departure from the current reliance on expensive server hardware running “download and install” software has already gathered substantial community interest, as QM received more than 2.2 million API calls from 87 countries in 12 months."

The uncertainty over this question is one of the reasons my team decided to build our new application in Angular 1.5 (though using TS and Webpack). It's less fancy, but mostly rock-solid and well-supported and understood.

We'll upgrade in a year or two once Angular 2 is well-understood and all the 3rd-party libraries have updated or deprecated into something else. The course looks like a good way to start understanding the differences.

Have to retract the last comment['s promise of final note] and (academically) note here that "ideal" and "optimal" are distinct notions in computer science.

A provably "optimal" algorithm is implementable. An "ideal" that requires magical facilities is a trope to make a point and spare one from attempting the impossible.

I didn't consider the de-anonymisation tactic of marking or communicating to an observer, that's a new tactic I hadn't considered.

I was expecting a de-anonymisation scheme along the lines of fingerprinting how the device vibrates given a certain pattern. Because there's a human element - the DeviceOrientation readings will be impacted by the user holding the device - you may be able to pick up the user's rough age/gender/strength/weight by judging how much their body alters that fingerprint.
I think the issue here is that scientists want to get funding, have prestige, and perhaps learn about the world in the process. The public wants to be cured of diseases, see new technologies, and learn about the world too.

There is a disconnect between the motivation and capability of scientists in the current funding system and what the public wants. So an easy solution is that if the public wants reproduce-able science, they need to pay for it. I'm sure some scientists who couldn't make it into Harvard or Caltech (ie., me) and thus can't do cutting edge science would be happy to take the dollars, have a living, and just reproduce the work of others. But you can't simply declare to scientists they should do X while not enabling them to.

> It's a hobby, and like any other hobby, it's profoundly stupid.

I profoundly disagree with your definition of hobby. My "hobby" is writing a science fiction novel. I don't get nearly as much time to do it as what I do for my day job, but I try hard to approach it with the same degree of seriousness that I bring to my work. So far, I don't think I've written anything anyone else would want to read, but I've managed to get to the point where I actually enjoy the process of writing.

Even better, I can sit back after I've written a chapter and say, "yeah, that actually embodies what I wanted to say". There is a very profound satisfaction in being able to do that.

I agree that many things we do in our free time might not have the qualities I describe above. I do such things too. But I would suggest that hobbies can be serious endeavors, and that the very fact that we love to do them makes them powerful.

The question of how to reconcile leap-second-smearing systems with other systems is an interesting and important one. I'm not sure that timestamp.proto changes this issue: prior to timestamp.proto systems would still communicate using UNIX time (smeared or non-smeared) using plain integer or double seconds. timestamp.proto just provides a structure for storing UNIX time with greater range and precision than a single integer or floating point number can provide.

What I'm trying to say is that I think this is a smearing systems vs. non-smearing systems issue, and not so much a timestamp.proto issue. timestamp.proto mentions smearing but really it's just a vehicle for storing the seconds/nanos from the system clock, with whatever semantics that system clock uses. Because in practice systems don't give you access to both the smeared and non-smeared values; you get whatever the system gives you. The remarks about being leap-second-ignorant apply whether the leap second is being smeared or repeated.

Google implemented leap-second smearing in 2011, before the big push towards cloud. So the need to communicate sub-second timestamps between internal Google systems and external systems was probably not so much on people's minds. But these days we're releasing a bunch of APIs, and sub-second timestamps might become a more important issue for some of them.

So I think this issue is worth discussing further, and I opened an issue on GitHub to track it: https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/1890

Thanks for the feedback.

Walking alone in the woods. I only started doing this regularly a few years ago, and although I do not regret how I spent my time previously, I instantly realized that I had been missing out on something wonderful.

Whenever I take a walk, even if it is a place I have been to dozens of times, I always find something interesting that I hadn't seen, heard, or noticed before. I have literally never gone on a walk and later wished I hadn't. I spend a lot of time alone anyway but there is a huge difference between being surrounded by a static, simple rectilinear enclosure and being surrounded by a living, breathing dynamic ecosystem. It is incredibly soothing. I do not regularly meditate, but I will often find myself sitting quietly in one spot outside and letting the sights and sounds wash over me along with the thoughts and feelings they evoke.
DGPS is much cheaper than it used to be as it is a feature of most GPS chipsets, though its poorly documented how you enable it. You also need to provide a serial data link between the two GPS units (for most applications this is over RF).

Also, from my understanding, you only know the relative position of the two stations accurately, not the absolute world location.
Have you tried substituting with board games or tabletop RPG's?

I suggest this because they preserve the "game" aspect and give up a bit of the virtual world feel in exchange for having a strong social aspect (hanging out with friends in real life).
