I've got my purchases refunded multiple times on the AppStore just by writing "the app doesn't do what the description says".
Your initial words were "Here is how you can use the lambda calculus to compute factorials in non-geological time" which led me to believe you were claiming LC was a very (the most?) efficient route to factorial calculation. Which would make me sit up and take notice were that the case.

I'm sorry to say that your factorial example just seems painful and pointless to me, and doesn't encourage me to expand my mind via LC at all.
I noticed this in myself but never knew the name for it! Thanks
Does meditation have any benefit for people who don't have an internal monologue? As I understand it, meditation helps you to clear the voice in your head, but what if you don't have one?
Sure, but still, 55% is more than 45%.

I agree that much of the support for Brexit had protectionist roots, though I think that was far more about labour protectionism than goods. Very few people in the UK have even heard of TTIP; it doesn't get mainstream coverage here. That may change once the UK steps out of the EU's trade-protectionist umbrella, of course; those trying to spin the result as a ringing popular endorsement of Extreme Globalization Turbo Max Pro are definitely being disingenuous.
That's the question I asked before just starting and being consistent (which is absolutely key) about it. The answer was that I learned the mind could operate in a radically different way, and that malleability led to greater understanding of the dynamically different ways others can perceive the world.

But that was just my experience of it after a short time (one month)--it's an empirical process of consciously observing your own mind (and letting things go), which is fascinating, and leads to continuous changes in how you interact with the world and others in it.

Who are you arguing with? Fixermark said nothing about nuclear power, and said that the conventional ordnance of WWI was worse than the atomic bombs of WWII, in the long term.

You're defending something no one was attacking.
I have to agree with you. My take away was: "The key to having more money is to have more money."

Doesn't use the native and fast hypervisor.
The idea that somehow every single language and community needs its own crappy package management systems is just utterly broken.

There's no reason you can't use the same package format and tools for code written in multiple languages. You might get some additional convenience by having small language-specific plugins (like the automatic dependency extractors in RPM) but that's just a tiny amount of the necessary tooling. The vast majority is not language-specific at all.

With these language-community systems, there's also the problem of depending on code written in another language. My Go program might well depend on a C library, just as my C program can require a shell script.
How did this meme come about that the only possible penalty for any kind of offence is jail? There are so many more ways to influence human behaviour, all of them much less violent.
Clinton campaign reportedly hacked
Plenty of reasons. For example, weird scoping of variables, that pretends that things are block-scoped syntactically, but they are actually not - and this is something that's extremely easy to step into with closures (which people tout as one of those great JS things). Or the whole "this" thing, again, conflicting with closures.

ES6 is a significant improvement for sure, but we aren't there yet.

In the meantime, a better question to ask, I think, is why all the JS love? What does it actually offer as a language, that others do not? The only thing that is universally acknowledged is that it's your only choice when targeting the browser, but that's not exactly a ringing endorsement. What other aspects are desirable?

(And please don't say "closures". Even C++ and Java have them these days, so it's not really an achievement - more of a baseline.)
Paw is amazing
The main thing for me was that it's a proper native app. It works really well, takes advantage of the native OS APIs and is a better product because of it.
Why? Isn't that highly irrelevant to his story?
Same here. I was never hungry. Now, for some reason, I really like breakfast :O
And tripled her income.
I purchased Paw about 6 months ago and used it heavily, until recently I have ran into multiple situations where it didn't properly include custom headers I specified into the request, and was causing odd errors that I assumed were the fault of the code I was testing (happened in multiple different languages/projects). I have since started using Postman, but would love to go back to Paw since I appreciated some if it's features (such as being able to save an API definition into the github repo for sharing with other devs)

EDIT - didn't realize this post was for Paw 3, which just became available. Installing now and excited to try it!
Excuse me while I pick the feathers out of my teeth ;)
Interesting, this is the first time I've seen a domain with the .cloud extension. I wonder how many other companies are going to follow suit?

Regarding the app, Paw is friggin amazing. I was lucky to get it back when it was much cheaper, but it's definitely still worth the $49 even now. The team stuff is interesting too, as me and my guys share our exports all the time.
I like Brave, and it works well! But many people want to keep using their FB/TWTR browsers.

We all have to make choices between what we enjoy and have a passion for and what pays the bills. For many of us, there is a degree of overlap though likely not 100%.

Our society is not so affluent that, if what you are genuinely excited about is medieval German poetry, you can reasonably expect to be supported with that passion unless you win a very specific academic track lottery (or have other sources of income).
For this purpose, I too listen to music mostly without vocals, or if vocals are present, they are the simplistic, melodic sort found in the likes of vocal trance.

Genres like trance help me focus because of a typical track's long duration, repetitive structure, and grandiose buildups.

When I need a little bit more stimulation, I switch to a less regular, more punchy EDM genres like electro house, or something with dubstep-inspired drops.
How does cooking take less time? I'm new to cooking so maybe that's why I'm slow but I feel like it takes much longer than going out..

You have to buy the groceries, prep them, cook, and wash your pans/dishes afterwards too. I can't imagine I'd be able to do all of that faster than going to a restaurant and eating, not to mention that while they are making your food you can be doing something else.

I love cooking but I still find it to be tiring as opposed to going out where I'm just resting waiting for someone else to prepare my food.
"That nerd site of mine" That's funny. I'm not even reading the articles anymore. I get more info., and enjoyment out of the comments.

(And yes I know this is a serious subject.)
For me, it was getting into IT when I was 30 (4 years ago) and for the first time in my life, I loved my work. I did not do it when I was 20, when was deeply into programming. Instead, I feared math in computer science studies, which led me to work as a car salesman (one that read HN all the time). When I was really broke and unhappy, I met a guy who introduced me into IT contracting for big companies. I just did what he said and instantly landed a long term gig that quadrupled my income. This, in return, made me read, read, read to learn as much as possible. Besides work, I now do Computer Science courses at university. Boy, had I known I could do all this, I would have started a decade sooner...

Grow a habit of checking some (any) system first. BJ Fogg's Tiby Habits program is a good start. And make sure it's a tiny investment of time/energy at first so no full-blown complex planning right off the bat.

Generally reading 'Making it all work' from the GTD guy also helped with just wanting to get everything into some system; which I developed bit by bit using tiny habit changes.

By now I have an amazingly complex system involving a Google Sheet, Workflowy and Evernote that would be just about ready to be turned into a professional product... but getting there I went through dozens and dozens of little improvements of just getting everything out of my kind and into some system.

Yes, thank you!

If one's reasoning is reductive enough, literally any activity can be made "meaningless". I find it's best to ignore a third party's evaluation of how you spend your time in most cases; they have their own biases, their own dreams, their own definition for what success and self actualization means.

That is something that you, only you, the consciousness reading these words, can decide.
"Is irresponsible offshore testing somehow okay?
reply"

What is more irresponsible - having the world taken over by a ruthless Empire that has invaded an occupied dozens of nations, and actively overthrowing states to install vassal dictators?

Or taking steps to ensure that this does not happen?

The 'cold war' was not a choice. It was the result of the occupation of vast territories by the Soviets who chose to globalize their Imperial military revolution.

The 'balance of power' in the world is a fact, it cannot be ignored. Power vacuums imbalances are what cause war. Stable equilibriums create peace. Peace is not created by ignoring the facts.

The dangers of nuclear technology are in their use as weapons, and partially it's use as an energy source. The health hazards of nuclear testing have been effectively negligible.

In contrast to the 100 000 000 who died and 100's of millions injured in world war 2, a tiny increase in the possibility of someone getting cancer is basically besides the point.

My friend, in the 1950's there were no seat belts in cars! Think of how many actual and recorded fatalities an injuries ensued? That was an actual 'health hazard'.
The UX is 1000x better. Faster load up, more intuitive keyboard/mouse navigation, etc etc.

Is this meant to be used for making backup and restore easier? If so, doesn't RethinkDB already have `dump` and `restore` commands for handling this? The docs[1] already make it seem pretty easy to do. It would be a good idea to add motivation to the README for this project, just a paragraph on what Thinker solves that `dump` and `restore` do not.

Edit: I'd also like to read why/when `thinker sync` should be used over utilizing RethinkDB's built-in table replication functionality.

For many years, universities had mandatory retirement ages:

>Until 1982, retirement of faculty members at many universities was mandatory at age 65. Because of amendments to the ADEA, in 1982 the minimum allowable mandatory retirement age was increased to age 70. In 1986 Congress made additional amendments to the ADEA, prohibiting any mandatory retirement ages for most workers in the United States.

Aye, which supports the argument I was trying to make even more strongly. We will not realistically replace drug discovery as currently practiced in academia and industry with open source efforts.
The big difference with Paw 3 that is allowing my team to make the switch is team syncing.

They don't need to be terrible humans to be successful so why do they do it?

That's what gets me, too. Though it can be easily copied, their service model is such a night-and-day improvement over the state of things previously that they should be universally loved for what they're doing.

And yet they keep pulling these asshat antics, and gratuitously making a bad name for themselves -- over and over and over again.

Former sub-sailor here: An important point is made:

For the Navy, a Horizon 3 conversation would not be about better carriers and aircraft. Instead it would focus on the core reasons the Navy deploys a carrier strike group: to show the flag for deterrence, or to control part of the sea to protect shipping, or to protect a Marine amphibious force, or to project offensive power against any adversary in well-defended areas.

Carriers are vulnerable and probably cannot be protected enough to survive an all out war. Too often the conversation gets side-tracked by this debate. However, carriers are very useful outside of war for projecting power and influence around the globe, so they are still very useful.
this is why I like mountain biking. You can't focus on other things when riding as fast as you can through rocks, boulders, and cactus (here in AZ).
I considered doing a kickstarter for mine. There have been 3 that I could find on kickstarter. Most fail for the same reasons... they try to do too much, don't do it well, and don't have a compelling use case.
It's a bit redundant now, but it's a point that deserves repetition. Replication happens by the scientists that want to build on the original work and advance it. Not because they simply want to replicate it, but simply to be sure that you understand the method and all the practical details that are necessary.

If there is only a single paper about the result, most scientists will regard that with a certain suspicion. That doesn't mean we expect every new thing to be fake, but there are just too many ways these experiments can go wrong.

One problem is certainly that the negative reproduction of experiments are more often communicated informally, and not published. If you're active in the field you will likely hear from the scientists that tried to reproduce the results without any success. But most of these are not published.

Any experiment worth replicating, is usually also worth expanding and building on, and that is where the actual verification is taking place. Science works in this regard, but it doesn't work as cleanly and efficiently as one could hope for.
Indeed. Perhaps I should've been more specific in my wording of it but I was more referring to the snake oil claims with respect to performance tweaks and to a lesser extent privacy tweaks as well. A number of privacy "tweaks" will wind up breaking third party software.

You're very much correct in that the option you're talking about is important for security. At the end of the day though it is still simply a cosmetic issue albeit with security consequences. I agree with what you're saying though. It is really stupid that it still defaults to not showing extensions.
Because you naturally apply the American perspective only.

This is one of the reasons for telling everyone: if you are in a foreign country, holding a gun and shooting at someone, then please just stop. If you are forced to not stop by your commanding officer, then miss and shoot as little as possible. Fighting is not the solution.
Again, I'm most likely an idiot, but I'm just not seeing it in any of the examples I've encountered. Not trying to be dense, I realize the onus is mostly on me here, and I really am interested in fundamentals. Just wondering if there is a better example of why I should go out of my way to understand lambda calculus, cause this one ain't cutting it. LC may well indeed form the basis of everything CS - if so why doesn't it seem very impressive at first (and second, and third) sight?
I've been using Paw 2 for a project in the last couple of months and it's totally amazing. Very excited to give the new version a try!
Guardian and NYT are trying hard to support that theory because they have their axes to grind against Erdogan, no doubt about it.

That aside, I do not think being the brother of a former vice president means anything when there are overwhelming more evidence supporting Gulen hypothesis. Read press in Turkey (critical to Erdogan) for what I mean. I am still trying not to suggest Gulen movement is violent, but they did screw up on this one. He will also be responsible for the ramifications of this.

Your statement "happy to kill Kurds" is also absurd. I am not at all supporting nationalist tune of the government but come on, PKK started the fire by filling the streets of poor Kurdish towns with tons of explosives and detonating them without hesitation, putting Ak-47's to the hands of teenagers and forcing and threatening civilians to stay, destroying their houses and using them as human shield. I have zero sympathy to PKK for what they did to their own people.

I've used Paw for a few years since I started getting inconsistent Postman results thanks to Chrome cookies, and I haven't looked back. It's really a fantastic tool that is part of my daily life as an API guy. The dev, Micha, is super helpful via email and has even incorporated feedback when the app didn't work the way I expected (like sending request body on GET). I would honestly buy it again if updates weren't free.
Do you have any source for this? In my personal experience, most well educated people are not voting AKP.

Because for several years now there has been a much stronger meme in place in the business community -- particularly among "disruptive" technology startups -- that you don't really have to pay attention to pesky things like laws and ordinances.

And not only that -- if you can just eat the petty civil fine they slap on you, you're actually doing a positive moral good in presenting a middle finger to law if it enables you to bring your desperately needed innovations to a wider audiences.

So that's when people start to say -- "OK then - if they won't get the message, it's time to start locking a few of 'em up."

Just like you'd do with any other criminal gang.

Awesome build! If you are looking for some ideas for new widgets my blog would definitely spark some ideas. Mine ran windows 10, so I used a program called 'rainmeter' that just adds widgets to your desktop. I found music visualizers, candles, gifs, and google chrome experiments really cool.

I think that hobbies are ones where you're actually stretching your mind, even if they are "pointless". Building model railways and fixing cars can be fun and mentally stimulating for certain people. There's the challenge of learning new things, the satisfaction of making something new. Playing sports takes skill and physical fitness. There's the challenge of competition. Stamp collecting, yeah, I don't understand that, but I'm sure there's something to it. Maybe it's understanding the history and culture around the period and place they were created, or appreciating the artwork. I've never played a video game that felt as good as actually doing something in the real world. My accomplishments were entirely fictional, fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying. Maybe for some people they are legitimately stimulating, but for most people, they're just mindless fun. If they fell like they've wasted their time after doing it, it sound like they got stuck in mindless compulsion more than anything.

I'm 5' 11", ~230 lbs, with ~20% body fat and I work out 4x/week at moderate/high intensity and don't eat very well. I ran cross country and played varsity soccer in high school. When I graduated I was 195 lbs and 6-7% body fat. I've never taken any supplements except for the occasional protein shake.

Also, 2 years is a very long time if you consistently behave according to some goal.

In my opinion, there's no need to publicly accuse rdegges of anything but hard work and discipline.
