Is there any collaboration for which these insightful realizations don't hold true? This is great advice for the joining of any two fields or parts of a process (in particular I'm thinking Design and Engineering are quite similar in analogy).
How good is it with internal temperature differences, though? If it can handle it, you could always just embed a flattened iron ring for induction cooking.
This is a very good point which i think is not really discuss much in the community.

UX/UI work is very different that base dev. work, and maybe should be approach differently.

My other though would that maybe the talent pool of UX designer is just too small in the Open Source world, and that most OSS tend not to treat UX design as a first class requirement.
halokonrad isn't talking about sublime. He's talking about Atom vs VS Code.
Yeah, it's through an outside company they licensed it to after killing it. That's the good news. The bad news is it was a tough port the other times, not a big market, and who knows what cut they get. I hope the company pulls it off but it's a tall order. Only the start of what needs to be done to get OpenVMS competitive, esp on usability.
You would think that if this is the case, that there would be a marketing opportunity for either a retail chain, or a brand that kept strong control over distribution, to market Olive Oil that was genuine, rather than faked/adulterated crud.

Kind of sad to know when I go into the store, and see twenty-thirty different brands of all sorts of quality (and prices) of Olive Oil - that most of it is fake.

There may be 2 seperate issues, so I think the question is:

Do the inmates in federal prison qualify as low level drug offenders?

Moreover, the term being discussed isn't a legal term with a definition, so as a result everyone kind of has their own opinion as to what qualifies. So for example, when I think of low level drug offenders forget people in federal prison and I would also think the vast majority of inmates in state prison fall outside my definition. Basically, when I think low level drug offender I am thinking about people who are in county jails.

Edit: Your citation explains the vast majority of those first time offenders in federal prison are there for drug trafficking, that is why I discard federal prison as low level.

> I think that Unity is great user interface

Yes, the interface is good but it sucks the resources out of the system. Have you noticed how much CPU and memory does `compiz` consume?

> I have used it for years as my main (and only) desktop

Only if you tried using anything else!
Same feeling here. Long time ubuntu user here. Unity is by no mean perfect, and quite frankly very buggy (as opposed to windows). But the level of hate just does not match my daily experience.

I do think that ubuntu could be better , and that with canonical heavy focus on convergence devices and servers, the desktop side is not improving as much as i hoped.

That quote is really without context. When I look at the "security" of the schools my children have been enrolled in, I see minimal security. Facilities security isn't like a prison by any stretch, and the cost can't be that high. The dominant cost factor for education is labor costs, not equipment/facilities costs.

And the "--more than some other nations." tag is just poor journalism without added context. I'm sure that the US spends more money on metal detectors than a lot of the small countries in the world. But that doesn't tell us anything useful.
Ah, computer science! You should stay in real science.

TLS is pretty good, but has a completely different scope. It is entirely dependent on the intentions and competence of people who can control the server and access the certificate, as well as the issuer. The client has very little power over this.

A good end-to-end encryption should guarantee that as long as both clients have good intentions, nothing can reveal their communication. This is a much higher level of expectation.

I don't think it matters whether you run 4 passes or 1 pass, it's still going to overfit. You can run an online linear regression in a single pass too, but that doesn't magick away the uncertainties. The results are still going to be garbage, and any effects you get are due to your health-consciousness and not any specific dietary choices you make (how could it be, when the data is so weak and noisy that each item can easily flip signs?).
I really don't know what I think about wtbob's comment, but it's awful that it got flagkilled.

Are the total available OSS funds the result of a zero-sum game?

I think at face-value it isn't zero-sum. I think this question can be restated as "If advocacy groups became convinced that this kind of discrimination is unproductive, would they spend their money on supporting open source, or on promoting minority groups in a different way?". I think it's pretty clear that the answer is the latter. But you can also step back and ask whether the advocacy groups would have less funding if these programs came to be considered ineffective, and I think they would, since people would lose trust in them. I'm sure a lot of that money would go toward some other kind of minority advocacy groups, but I'm also sure that many sources of funding are actually specifically interested in promoting open source (otherwise it would be more productive for them to support minorities in employment, not open source internships). I think it's reasonable to say some of that money might make its way to people like Paul.

This is terribly speculative, but it is to say that if you accept that discriminatory programs like outreachy are not productive, there's merit to the claim that they deprive heroes like Paul of funding.

Very well written thesis. The machine, however, was extraordinarily difficult to program, resulting in Thinking Machine's quick death once they actually tried to compete commercially with Convex and Cray.
Demand of olive oil probably outstrips the capacity of the world to produce it.

Does this work for other resources? Is there enough raw materials to make batteries, to replace a billion cars?

I've got high almost daily for the past 15 years. I'm also a programmer and I am proud of what I have accomplished. A year ago I quit smoking and started preparing and eating edibles instead. This was for health reasons but another benefit is that I am now able to dose myself much more precisely. There is a level which improves my productivity and focus, where I really feel in the zone. Sometimes when I am trying to solve a difficult problem, getting high helps me to break through.
After learning a few years ago about the large-scale fraud involved in the export olive oil industry, I started trying domestic olive oil instead (I'm in the US).

My favorite domestic oil, which is available everywhere now, is California Olive Ranch (e.g, http://amzn.com/B005CT8R90). It's delicious. Tastes nothing like the horrible oils I had been unknowingly eating for years, and there's no way I could ever go back.
Yes, it has gotten much better without a doubt.

However, the package management still needs to improve. One realizes that upon upgrading from one Ubuntu release to the other particularly if you have a bunch of software installed from PPAs. It would be unreasonable to expect a typical user to be able to fix the problems that it leads to.

While `apt-get` is great, you realize the limitations when you need to resort to `dpkg` when the package management is left in a broken state due to the occasional mess created upon removing a package.

I wish somebody from Canonical were looking at this thread.
My local library is trying out a pilot program to loan out hotspots[0] the same way they loan out books. The hotspots have unlimited data and it looks like the only real restriction on them, beyond the usual stuff you'd get from a normal ISP, is that you bring them back after the loan period is up. Hopefully the pilot project results in a permanent program. Library cards are now free, so cost isn't a barrier anymore.

The City of Edmonton provides free WiFi[1] in a number of places[2], albeit with more restrictions. These mainly seem to be at rec centres and LRT stations, but there are also some parks included.

INSIGHT: Being in a position to observe the behavior of users -- MANY users -- over a period of time, and non-users in the same settings.

Most of you probably don't have that experience.

- Parents do. Ask parents "how did your kid change after commencing use of pot?"

- Teachers do, if they know a student imbibes. These days teachers have a great chance to see the difference between regular students and those who smoke it.

- Property managers of apartment properties do.

I'm the latter. I made my Silicon Valley startup bucks and have been buying and operating apartment properties since 1993, 2 years out of college.

Here's what I experience:

1) my pot using tenants do not like following rules compared to other tenants.

2) they are defiant in their attitude to varying degrees, challenging things they initially agree to ("no smoking", "new occupants must pass the same tenant screening you did and must be added to the lease", "no guest parking", "no loud parties/noise after 10pm", etc).

RECENT EXPERIENCES
- tenant moves in, it's a no smoking building, they begin smoking pot in their unit EVEN THOUGH there are 'no smoking' signs everywhere and the lease clearly calls for 'no smoking cigars/cigarettes/marijuana'. THAT'S HAPPENED 18 TIMES (18 different tenants) IN THE PAST year and a half.

- tenant moves in, gets a warning for their car blocking other tenants in the parking lot, they kept blowing it off, parking and blocking others. FIVE TIMES over a 2 month period until they were evicted.

- tenant moves in someone without adding them to the lease (a requirement), we catch them, the added person does not pass the normal tenant screening process and they have to leave, the original tenant keeps them there anyway, we catch them, gave them a final warning, they ignored the final warning, and got evicted

Just a very small set of examples.

IF YOU SMOKE, you are the LAST person to know if your pot use has changed you, added some negatives to your behavior. "A doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient."

I myself imbibed for 3 years as a teen. WHAT AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER. Normal recreation time was clouded by intoxication.

If you prefer being intoxicated in your leisure time, how would you feel telling people that?

"I like being intoxicated. It's my recreational activity."

OR

"I like being intoxicated during my leisure time."

OR

"When I spend free time with recreational pursuits, I like being intoxicated."

VERY FEW pot users will admit that to arbitrary others. Deep inside, we know to ourselves "I shouldn't need intoxication to enjoy myself."

You should not need to live in an altered state, intoxication, and if you are frequently choosing intoxication from pot as 'recreation', something is wrong.
I just came off a project in St. Eustatius, where I met a team of marine biologists tracking sea turtles with some form of GPS device. They seemed to be spending a lot on the devices, which were modified for underwater conditions and algae growth and other problems. Still, $5/device is sounds like a price point that would attract many people in the scientific community.

It might be hard to hear the truth from a non-academic as in this article. Some of you might feel better to hear it from a peer. Those I refer to "The Science of Scientific Writing" by
George Gopen & Judith Swan published 1990 in the American Scientist:
http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/pub/the-science-of-s...
However many scientific publications are awful to read. Including mine.
I don't really have one, though I like the idea of having one. The only thing I do on a regular basis at work is write down a list of things I want to do each day and maybe some notes about the previous day in a physical notebook. Originally intended to remember what I did for scrum time, but it sort of helps keep on track during the day as well.
Buy Arogos at Wholefood. I grew up in Sparta, Greece and my family owned several olive trees. Arogos products are exactly what I remember from our own produce.
Not too far from the SF Bay Area is SLO and Paso Robles (~3hrs). There are presses there. You can buy from the farmers and local markets which sell their oils. They have Spanish and Italian varietals. Should be pretty authentic olive oil --I guess they could cut it with grape oil?

They've even got Olive oil tasting events: https://centralcoastwinecomp.com/olive-oil/
I think this is a great method. People always want more Open source software right? Look at this a different way, if you can't charge money for it to be OSS then it will have to be closed source right? (Advertising 'nstuff, I don't think that pays well...reddit...)
I think the Anton machines for simulating molecular dynamics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_(computer)) show that this has already changed. The 8 year old Anton 1 machines are still ~1-2 orders of magnitude faster than commodity clusters, and the now 3 year old Anton 2 is another order of magnitude faster still.

>The fact is, is that if you use your computer professionally and switch to linux, you start to understand what user interface efficiency is. At some point, eye candy becomes a second, third, fourth priority. This doesn't mean the program is any less usable though. I still value presentation. I'll take a nice UI any day over a crappy one, given the interaction is the same.

Very true. Before starting my current position, i was a Visual studio die hard.While i still think it's the best single IDE, one thing thing i notice using linux CLI and vim in particular how much faster is it to do thing. And i seem to remember better how to do stuff instead of being lost in menus .

I think the current trend in UX is toward making them more intuitive (which i think linux/CLI could read do a be job at), but sadly we are sacrificing efficiency in the process.
OK. How many and, more importantly, what for?
Pot is an expensive habit in large quantities which is not really conducive to staying on welfare. The issue is self sufficiency is not really enough without 2.2 kids thing break down long term. Further without economic growth our system is completely unsustainable.

So, if parity is not enough and everyone must be a net contributer, well that's a cog.

I don't follow. It is ok to downvote medical studies from leading medical journals because alcohol already harms infants? And I suppose people reason that marijuana use will not lead to any increase at all of neurologically harmed infants?

Perhaps someone could explain why they want to adopt policy that will lead to an increase of neurologically harmed infants and stillbirths.

Empathy is key. Try to imagine infants that have been harmed by marijuana use by their mothers before their mothers knew they were pregnant. Not certain why anyone would want to increase the number of neurologically harmed infants.

Sounds a lot like World of Warcraft, the way you describe it. Maybe we should criminalize MMORPGs?

That part is a bit of a bad joke, but I've known people who have lost chunks of their lives to WoW, and the criticisms you outline for cannabis seem to mirror my perception of WoW very closely—"addictive", "causes them to be extremely unmotivated", and "a lot of people end up really trapped by it".

To be honest, when I was in college, I was more worried about the potential dangers of WoW than I was worried about cannabis or other recreational drugs, chief among them alcohol and caffeine, but also cannabis. I had a "just say no to WoW" attitude.

When you say BMR crash, what exactly do you mean? In what proportion?

While I understand that going on a diet can make you feel less energetic, depressed and a variety of other things, the "base" in BMR is there for a reason.

I've seen many people suggest that your BMR could significantly lessen, but I've never seen anything scientific demonstrating that, and all our understanding points to it not being possible, unless you stop breathing and your blood stops pumping.

Maybe a diet could interfere with your exercise regimen and be counter-productive, but for someone who is completely sedentary and who's TDEE is close to his BMR, I don't think it could significantly go down.
Obviously do whatever works best for you. You don't have to spend a lot of time configuring your system to end up with something unrecognizable though. I've been running linux full time since 2003 and my $HOME directory can be traced directly back to then. Things start out as-is but then something would be mildly annoying so I'd spend 5 minutes reading the man page and change a setting. After a decade of that my environment evolved to suit me perfectly and even someone who knows the software I use would have trouble sitting in front of my PC and using it. However I never really spent days configuring anything. It was more of an accident.
