The writer had some of the same thoughts, and found this:

"The performance differential was actually more than I expected; reading a file from the SSG SSD array was over 4GB/sec, while reading that same file from the system SSD was only averaging under 900MB/sec, which is lower than what we know 950 Pro can do in sequential reads. After putting some thought into it, I think AMD has hit upon the fact that most M.2 slots on motherboards are routed through the system chipset rather than being directly attached to the CPU. This not only adds another hop of latency, but it means crossing the relatively narrow DMI 3.0 (~PCIe 3.0 x4) link that is shared with everything else attached to the chipset."

> This is not what clickbait is. For those unfamiliar with 99PI, this is a thing they do with all of their episode titles. They're often a pun of some sort, and make the subject of the episode a fun surprise which is made apparent at the start.

And that differs from clickbait how?
I keep reading that, and then I keep reading about people who actually had good experiences with chiropractors.

This thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/4ug8vw/this_chiropr...

You can see a clear divide. It's far from the homeopathy agreement that it's bullshit. It also seems like most people arguing against chiropractors have never experienced even a good massage and its benefits.

Manoje Prutthisathaporn – the Co-founder of FitFactory, is launching a Kickstarter campaign for the very the first custom tailor with in-person fittings with local tailors – FitFactory.

As stated by Manoje, “We have a grand vision of becoming the most convenient and accessible high-quality custom tailor service available at great prices. We want to make FitFactory available across the United States. So, we need $15,000 in funds to build the operations and invest in fabrics to launch custom shirt category. That is why, we are planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign”.

Custom menswear’ online stores usually fail to deliver top-class quality and the required fitting because people usually fail to give their correct measurements.

But, FitFactory will sort all of these problems out, because with FitFactory one does not have to take their own measurements themselves, but they can visit any FitFactor’s handpicked local tailor - who will take the measurements professionally, which would ensure a perfect fit every time. This also makes it very convenient (as you can go to a tailor nearby) and affordable (no investment in showroom that).

As stated by Manoje, “FitFactory is founded to make high-quality custom-made menswear accessible, convenient, and affordable. We offer custom made-to-measure men's suits, shirts and separates made from the finest wool and cotton fabrics. Once we receive your measurement, each suit is crafted by selected tailors in Thailand. With over 35 years of experience, these maestros guarantee your fit”.
Citation on the 1 in 7?

That sounds like it comes from the same people who make any speeding offense on par with DUI and having an at fault accident in most points based systems. One in seven people with a license not having insurance I can see (because they might not have a vehicle) but one in seven vehicle/driver pairs on the road not being insured for that combination seems very high without monkeying around with the statistics.
I started with this tutorial[0] that covers react with no JSX, no Flux, no ES6, and no Webpack.

It is just a couple of script includes and normal html/javascript.

From that tutorial, I was able to understand exactly what react is. Then I started adding in the other items on top.

It's definitely not a boilerplate "site in 5 minutes", but it's also a lot less confusing when trying to learn what's going on underneath the hood with react.

The thing that bothers me most about the direction of icons is the sameness of all their shapes, ignoring the rest of their appearance.

This is a problem in both the Dock (where it seems everything is a circle nowadays) and in toolbars (where everything has an ugly white rounded-rectangle behind it, and is really tiny).

There used to be explicit mention of the importance of varying shapes in toolbars, as part of Apple’s own interface guidelines. At a glance, it’s far easier to find things when there’s a triangle-like icon next to a round icon next to a square icon next to a home-plate-shaped icon, etc. If every icon has the same shape, and has been shrunk into that shape to leave even less space for meaningful details, it‘s almost not worth having an icon at all.
Yup, thats why you can take with a grain of salt when someone says something like "We'd like to pay you more, but startup just isn't profitable enough", that doesn't mean the owner isn't taking a nice salary away from the place.

I'm the organizer of this conference. The stage is very flexible and has many opportunities for trap doors etc. It's honestly just a little creaky.

We've seen other benefits like folks have mentioned. It draws speakers out from behind the podium.

The theater we use is popular and we often didn't have the stage setup until 2AM the night before a 9AM start time. As organizers/hosts we couldn't be up that late.

Sometimes you come in and the stagehands at the venue read the notes about putting down the carpet and they decided to put two carpets instead of one. And the carpets are secured with gaffers tape. And you don't really see an issue with it so you leave it be.

The very existence of RunScript combined with the ability to rebind functions makes this impossible, I think. Unfortunately, I'd guess that, at this point, those features are too tangled into the game to be easily cut out.

You're missing the biggest vulnerability. SMS means you're tied to a phone company, which has a tech support line staffed with people who's main job is keeping their call times down. It's shockingly easy to socially engineer them into sending a copy of your SIM to some random address and completely defeat the 2FA on your system.

And once they have your texts, getting a CSR to reset the password on all of your important accounts is super easy. By far the biggest security vulnerability on major services is the customer support representatives.
Yeah I found this assertion pretty troubling too. The "black" on most displays is already "soft" since even black pixels are leaking light. I've never read a page in a book and thought "you know, this ink is too black, it's straining my eyes".
Thinking about what your wrote is aesthetic to me for some reason.
That's not how it works. New ideas are scarce, in that they require effort (and ultimately energy) to create. There are not "an unlimited number left", someone has to actually create them.

However, ideas are not rivalrous. Once they are created, everyone in the world can benefit from them simultaneously at no additional cost. Therefore, the immediate opportunity cost of allowing people to own ideas is far greater than for physical property.
There is still elm growing wild. They are spaced out enough that transmission doesn't happen fast.

The geographic spread of the ash borer is less complete than Dutch elm disease, so it's less clear what will happen over the long term. Maybe pockets of saplings will outlast the insects.
> Young users today essentially just know the image of a floppy disc as "the save button" without any skeuomorphic rationale backing it up.

Yeah, but so what? It is, nevertheless, recognizable to nearly everyone. In a world where cars still advertise their "horsepower" and pencils have graphite compound "leads" we can probably live with an icon that is well understood but whose original referent is no longer familiar.
You certainly don't need to change any templates when creating a database, CREATE DATABASE and createdb both support specifying the encoding.

Changing encoding of a table (or a database after creation) is usually not a wise thing to do; since the db engine is not going to go over all the data and convert it anyway, so if your data is corrupted now it will remain corrupted. If one simply needs to tell the DB to treat the data differently without worrying about data conversion, the encoding of a database is stored in `pg_database` and can be changed with an UPDATE query.

And this is all from the official documentation. I'm not a Postgres expert.
Affordable and accessible medical care is a prerequisite to that. After the injury aspect is taken out of the picture then it would make sense for everyone to insure as much as they want (e.g. homeowners insurance)

The end state for driverless cars is most likely not individual ownership. Large companies will probably own fleets of cars available for hail. In this world, the fleet owners would probably develop a rigorous process to cost effectively fight traffic tickets.

Even if local governments tried to increase the complexity of traffic laws, the fleet owners would increase spending on fighting tickets; this would result in an arms race which would be costly for the local government. It's much easier to extract rent from the little guys.

The worry I have is of increased enforcement of local non-traffic laws to make up revenue.
Interesting, looks like the application this time around is definitely more geared towards people actively working on a new company :)

Great speaker lineup too.
Another comment to round up the previous one:

If there are experiments I can perform in principle AFTER the fossil finding to convince myself that the fossil finding is not a fake, then this would constitute enough experimental proof for me. Because then the fossil finding has in fact become a repeatable experiment. The only question then would be if the journal that accepted the paper about the fossil finding has performed these verifying experiments?
Justify that with actual math, please? I don't think you know how computers (processors, bus, memory access, etc) work. How exactly do you think an RDBMS can query an index at a hundred billion rows per second?
Always put technique first. Start with the basic compound lifts. These represent idealized human movement. Use light loads while you learn what proper technique feels like.

Deadlift- Be careful not to overdo this, especially when you're starting out

Squat- Overhead squat is probably the best variation to master, but goblet squat is probably the easiest

You should also challenge your cardiovascular system in some way, preferably one that physically moves your body through space.

In addition, I feel strongly that recreational lifters should always emphasize mechanical alignment and efficiency over force production. So set aside the time to address any movement restrictions, prioritizing those that interfere with your ability to perform the above movements. For instance, if you have 0 degrees of internal rotation at the hip, you aren't going to be able to squat correctly.
Except that Pascal class GPUs support true unified virtual memory so some minor code changes might provide mostly the same performance using memory-mapped files. Caveat: I don't own a Pascal class GPU yet.

The I will buy 1 usd nominal insurance from my car manufacturer along with buying the car. Or more likely get it for free with my accident and theft insurance.
And if it is dozens of corporations, there's no reason they wouldn't just absorb the insurance function. Right now because insurance is bought by consumers there's tremendous value in having a recognizable consumer-facing brand (Gecko & Flo). But if the car provider already has the ongoing consumer relationship, offering the insurance is a straightforward financial feature. Plus they'll be way more informed about the risk characteristics of their customers and vehicles. I don't see any remaining reason for separate auto insurance companies to exist if this version of car purchasing takes over individual ownership.

WTF is OOA/D/P in the GP? Is that a thing?
What about my case:

I run a software training company. We provide streaming access to recordings made of the live session for which a student purchased a seat. Pay for a four day class, and you can stream the recording of that four day class for, at the least, 18 months. Why 18 months? That's all we promise, ideas end up being available for longer - five years and counting now - and in 18 months the class tends to have changed enough that we'd rather you just attend again (for free, if it's online).

Do you have the right to pirate the videos that my students paid for? Do they have the right to share it with people who didn't attend the course, and are thus missing the context of the classroom experience (and the web site where updated materials/code samples are dispensed)?

I work at a Fortune 500 company, in an open office area. I was the first person to use a standing desk, by cobbling some cardboard boxes together. And then I was kind of a promoter, and also mentioned to the department chair: "By any reasonable measure, computer use is a workplace safety problem waiting to explode." In fact I goaded him into getting one for himself.

Since then, quite a few people have gotten a VariDesk, and if you ask, your boss will just tell you to get one from Amazon.

If you think programming is bad, CAD is even worse. So far as wrist fatigue goes, I was in pain within a few months of getting my first Apple Mac, and quickly learned all of the keyboard shortcuts so I could minimize mouse use. A side benefit is that using a keyboard shortcut instead of an icon doesn't require you to focus your eyes on the screen.

If I don't want to be insured for own personal bodily injury, why should I be forced to buy that product in a free market? What if the premium simply isn't cost effective? By forcing anyone to buy a product you are creating a captive market and thus insane prices. Especially when the businesses involved are explicitly allowed to collude[0]. Sounds like a bad deal for everyone but the insurance companies.

It's OATH/IETF standards compliant, which mitigates (if not removes) risk from lock-in and EOL's, thanks to industry standards. [1]

I don't think Microsoft is patent suit immune, but they are certainly capable of handling patent suits without disrupting user capabilities/security. Unless you are suggesting Microsoft owns patents in using the standards and somehow might sue users over that, but both OATH and IETF have patent grants in place regarding the standards.

Open source under any particular license (esp. and inc. the GPL) is orthogonal to it being immune to patent suits and/or lock-in/EOL. It's also orthogonal to security and/or privacy you can have secure apps both with and without open source. Certainly there are reasons where technically inclined users would prefer to have access to the source, but within the larger context of this discussion where the question is if there is an app available in any app store that matters that you could point a non-technically inclined friend/relative to, Microsoft Authenticator is one option and whether or not it is open source, it's still a better cross-platform option than SMS (and Google Authenticator which isn't as cross-platform, but has as many risks as you mention here as Microsoft's option).

Agreed, it serves no purpose. For testing, dynamic languages have the ability to ... dynamically replace dependencies. :) For building a library, a function that takes in dependencies and returns the component works extremely well & is straightforward to understand, no tooling required.

I wonder how much of this could have been solved by using a different file system. There is all of this talk about the physical layer but no mention of the file system used.

> Typically, write amplification refers to a problem with writing data to SSD disks: a small logical update (say, writing a few bytes) becomes a much larger, costlier update when translated to the physical layer.

This is exactly the type of problem solved by the file system layer.

OK, now that I see the stat he's calling "low", 1.4%. I actually disagree. That's a pretty high number that we could probably get to go down further. Assuming that one person out of every graduating high school class is going to kill his/her-self would seem to me to be a fairly morbid assumption. But this appears to be the case.

I think the responsibility for the weight (or perhaps, levity) of the philosophical observations made in this article fall back only on the writer himself, and his own attitude(s) towards suicide.

It actually sounds like a somewhat outdated (the trend is down and the most recent figure I can find is about 1 in 8 [0], rather than 1 in 7) figure derived from insurance claims (which may systematically misstate the share of drivers or driver/vehicle pairs, but probably is reasonably accurate in determining what people actually care about -- if I need to go after someone for damages resulting from an accident, will they have insurance? -- except to the extent that insured drivers are more or less likely to be in an accident with an uninsured driver vs. an insured driver, all other things being equal.)

Thanks to you and dragonwriter for the links.. informative. So let's compromise on "It's right around the cap" :) Interesting that self-reported data is actually lower than the BLS figures--I'd have guessed it would be the opposite.

This is not only missing the point, it's easy to prove false:

Python: `foo = '1' + 1` gives `TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly`

C: `char bar[] = "1"; char* foo = bar + 1;` gives literally no error.

Good errors occur because of strong/weak typing, not because of static/dynamic typing.

This was my first exposure too. Once you're ready to build an app with JSX (probably right after you finish that tutorial and realize that typing React.createElement all over will get painful), check out the new tool Create React App[0] by Dan Abramov and the folks at Facebook. It's an official generator that'll get you going with no build to set up, and a bare minimum of necessary code, basically one step above Hello World.

I'm working on a book about learning React by itself, without Redux and Webpack and all the other tools that distract from learning the basics. Hope to have it out in the next week or so.

Me. I'm a skinny guy, and developed osteoarthritis in my neck due to years of intensive computer use (since 1981). The problem as explained by my physical therapist is sitting with a hunched neck. The acute symptom for me is a bout of pain running down my left arm and wrist, lasting several months before it goes away. This has happened twice. Second time, I switched to a standing desk.

As an aside, I don't goof off as much when I'm standing at my desk.
I'd even go so far as to say you're more likely to see them than a microphone, which no one (as far as I know, anyway) is arguing to obsolete.
