iOS has the same issues, though, except you need an Apple machine, which is usually WAY more expensive than a comparable Windows machine (not sure how well needing to pay for VisualStudio closes that gap).

I agree. I think the real problem is that they are using environment variables for this. Environment variables just aren't user friendly, especially on Windows.

Even better, hold the Olympics in places where there are already facilities that can temporarily be re-purposed for the Olympics, and then go back to their normal purpose.

That's what happened for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. For housing the athletes they used student housing at the University of Southern California. If Los Angeles gets the 2024 Summer Olympics they plan to use student housing at UCLA for athletes and coaches, and student housing at USC for media housing.

For athletic venues, only two needed to be built. They built a velodrome and a swim center. For the rest they were able to use facilities already present: LA Memorial Coliseum, LA Memorial Sports Arena, Dodger Stadium, The Forum, Long Beach Convention Center, Rose Bowl, Long Beach Arena, Anaheim Convention Center, along with the athletic facilities at several colleges and universities (UCLA, Cal State LA, USC, Loyola Marymount, Cal State Fullerton, East LA College, Pepperdine).

The combination of low construction costs from being able to use so much existing infrastructure, and the use of corporate sponsorship to pay for the things that did need to be built (it was the McDonald's swim stadium and the 7-Eleven velodrome) resulting in the 1984 Olympics running a profit of more than $200 million.

I was living in Pasadena at the time. I had expected the Olympics to be a pain in the ass due to increased traffic...but it turned out to have no negative effect that I could see.

In retrospect, that should not have been too surprising. There are times of the year where the pro baseball, basketball, American football, and hockey seasons overlap, along with various college sports seasons. One could easily have a day with several team sporting events going on that will each draw a large crowd. On top of that you could have a major concert or two going on.

In other words, Los Angeles already can handle many simultaneous major events. The Olympics is bigger than that, but not by anywhere near as big a factor as it would be in cities that do not have so many popular pro and college team sports and so many world class concert venues.

I think it's a switch from grades/marks for elementary school vs. grades/marks for secondary school.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Norway#Primary_sc... says, of primary school:

> No official grades are given at this level. However, the teacher often writes a comment, analysis, and sometimes an unofficial grade on tests. Tests are to be taken home and shown to parents. There is also an introductory test to let the teacher know if the student is above average or is in need of some assistance at school.

> ... When the students enter lower secondary school, at age 12 or 13, they begin getting grades for their work.
I can assure you that it played a role in his sentencing and is being brought up because adultery also plays a major role in obtaining and keeping a security clearance. It is grounds for being stripped of your security clearance as it provides a means for the enemy to blackmail you and coerce you into giving up classified information. Adultery is hardly irrelevant to those dealing with classified information.
Ketosis is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. It has been life-changing for myself and many of my closest friends. I lost over 200lbs doing keto and it was one of the easiest, most ennjoyable things I have ever done in my life.

This is an oversimplification. If the time I'm spending not working is contributing to my ability to make $90/hr it's entirely valid. There are so many things that can fall into this category too, like the need for people to have recreational time, or professional development (e.g. reading journals), etc.
Okay, that's nice, but the Go developers already picked their side in the debate many years ago. If you don't like it, use one of the many other tools available.
Right, it makes a lot more sense to judge people on their adherence to a particular muscular profile than on their wealth.

Fitness is an indicator of physical health and ability to defend from predators and fancy cars and clothes are indicators of mental/social prowess and ability to garner resources. They're both valid, if imperfect, criteria by which to judge someone for reproductive fitness.
That's not a different approach for Los Angeles. That's the approach they used in the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, except they used USC that time.

They also utilized existing venues for nearly everything, only having to actually build two new venues (a swim center and a velodrome).
i've seen this assumption made just about every time AMP is mentioned, that it's somehow about preventing adblock. AMP requires that all your ads are specifically tagged as ads, and that no javascript is modifying the page after it has loaded. Instead of making adblocking more difficult, it seems to be going out of its way to make adblocking easier to do and more difficult for publishers to prevent.

The author freely admits they tried to do a relational schema in a non-relational database. Then proceeds to say it was the wrong choice of product, instead of design. This confuses me. I use MongoDB as my main database, and it works great for me. However, I did have to learn that it works differently, which meant writing my code differently.

My question is this, if you tried to use PostGres and designed your tables super super wide and embedded everything in large object data types and then it got to complicated to manage and figure out, would you consider that a failure of PostGres, or your failure as a developer/architect?

I will have to chock this up to a good laugh myself. Lastly, I've used relational databases for most of my career, and I'm very good at writing SQL. But after learning MongoDB and how to use it properly, there isn't a lot that I would want to go back to an RDBMS for. And with the future roadmap of MongoDB, I don't see that changing.

...the French revolution? Didn't they have two big ones, launching the 1st and 2nd republics?

I want to say the 1790s and the 1850s. But I can't get more precise than that. In my mind, they're sort of just after the American Revolution and just before the USA-CSA Civil War. And then there was the little failed rebellion in between that was in Les Miserables.

There was also a bunch of Napoleon in there, somewhere. But knowing any of that has had no use for me, other than keeping the plot straight in novels set in that era.
Linking the frequent sending of gun emojis to gun violence would be hard indeed. Perhaps it's not phony, per se, but it is so hilariously ancillary to the actual discussion regarding mental health, access to field combat-grade firearms, and disparities in urban molestation of certain classes of people that this smacks more of Apple doing solid PR than it does actually solving issues in our communities.

That's my take on Thiel's point, and guns are NOT the only topic where big corps trot out stupid stunts to capitalize on what yesterdays big cultural outrage was.

In case someone is looking to move their java REST server to Lambda, here are a few lessons I learnt:
a) fragment your REST war into smaller micro services wars. The load time for big REST application will impact your caller. Small micro services will boot up on Lambda much faster and respond quicker.
b) If you use spring dependency injection, you may want to rethink that and tweak/optimize it. I had a database tier with over 20 hibernate/ebj beans . The load time was horrendous. I had to eliminate all beans not needed by the microservice.
That's your taste.

The semantics of Go are fine for the most part. My only problem with Go is manipulating slices. The rest is just awesome and it requires a lot of taste to simplify semantics without taking away the languages power.

This feels like a very sad way to view optimism. It's from a work of fiction which only makes a guess about Hitler's worldview. If optimism is a delusion, then so is pessimism, but only in the other direction. Neither view can tell us more than how we feel about the things around us.
Having money is a pretty good heuristic for a lot of positive traits that women generally look for in a mate. It's pretty damn hard to buy a new luxury car with below-average intelligence, social skills, discipline, determination, etc.

And unfortunately unless you're a doctor, lawyer, or CEO, 'having nice things' is the only socially appropriate way to signal that.

I don't like it, but it works really well and sexual selection is what sells luxury cars in general, not advertising.

Not to mention, 'compatible value systems' are not necessary to bring a girl home after a first date and have some fun...
The problem with templates is that they're ad-hoc: they can be specialized, and they're only checked at instantiation time. C++'s type level is literally a dynamic language, and template errors are literally stack traces, only made worse by backtracking, due to the deepest unification rule and SFINAE.

But bona fide parametric polymorphism doesn't have this problem. ML's design is a constructive proof that you can have a reasonable degree of abstraction without compromising usability.
Plenty of terrorist movements throughout history have succeeded, perhaps we don't call them terrorists though because they have had the chance to rebrand themselves. Just to give an example from Ireland, there was terrorism on both sides of the religious divide. If we agree that the independence movement failed (and I don't think that things are that simple), then we are implicitly saying that the loyalist terrorists (together with the rest of the British armed forces) won.

Just like a language is a dialect with an army, a freedom fighter is a successful terrorist. And let's not forget that terrorism is a prime strategy of successful states, such as the US or Colombia, where right wing death squads successfully defeated a guerrilla movement.
> From what I've seen, the other mechanisms for limiting over-exuberant abstraction don't work well enough over the long term, at scale.

I'm testing Open Xchange for a few weeks now, and I really like it. There are lot of small cool features: remind an email in x minute, meeting organization, OX Guard (a PGP module), the integration with Sieve, etc.

And that's not a secret, such solutions are not easy to deploy. I've spend a certain amount of time writing my ansible script for Open Xchange - that's why I'm not really motivated to try it on my server now.

If I find something in OX which prevents me from switching, SOGO will be the next candidate.

> an effect

Maybe, but what effect, and is it "harm"? The NPR thing was quick to pivot on the idea that being overfed on porn is making teenagers impotent, but that's been a mainstay of propaganda campaigns for time immemorial. Off the top of my head, I can recall seeing PSAs in my youth that marijuana causes low sperm count, steroids make your testicles shrink, and smoking and drinking cause impotence. Maybe they do, but the reason they're calling it out versus, say, increased risk of heart disease, is that it's a scare campaign.
AMP is a strategy to take control away from the publishers, to prevent them from cluttering up the site with obtrusive ads and other heavy clutter around the actual content. The carrot that Google is offering the publishers in order to get them to relinquish this control is better placement in search results.

The best way to think of AMP is it's a list of things you're not allowed to do anymore when you make a website. It's just HTML with rules.
Surely a better way to defend against that is to perform some automated program transformation? Like this minifier: https://liftoff.github.io/pyminifier/

As the presentation says right at the beginning, "Optimism" in this context has a specific meaning defined by Dr. Martin Seligman for his work. It refers to the way people explain good and bad things that have happened to them in the past.

It does not speak to people's expectations for how things will happen in the future.

In technical contexts, practitioners often use words in ways that do not match the common parlance.
'Personal, permanent, general' - all of this is easily explained with 'feeling vulnerable'.

When you feel vulnerable, every little thing is about to crush your soul, so you take everything personally, it will result in permanent damage because you're so vulnerable and the world of full of danger aka very general and accurate assertion.

This is an accurate worldview from the perspective of a child with parents who don't do a good job of building the kid up into a competent adult (everyone I know)

So the solution is to grow into a self-sufficient adult.

Most adults I know are incompetent at most things in life, the ones who are depressed/unhappy are either more sensitive/aware, or have just been dealt a harsher hand in life.

The solution is always the same, and it'll take years, decades even.

But a few small victories toward self-sufficiency will hopefully propel you to believe in your faculties a bit more - we're very capable little creatures :)

"As time went by, the settlers from Europe noticed something: No Indians were defecting to join colonial society, but many whites were defecting to live in the Native American one."

The passage shocked me, as it is extremely surprising, and speaks to the core of our societal growth over the past few hundreds of years not leading to maximum happiness. The passage is from this David Brooks column (which I think is definitely worth the three minutes to read): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/09/opinion/the-great-affluenc...

The core thought is that people trade up for comfort (including privacy), but that they lose out on the overall bonds with other people that are what really makes us happy.

One extremely clear choice: Do you work from home (more comfy) or an office (more social)?

The work from home choice seems extremely relevant to me. Is it actually bad for happiness in the long term to do something that's so much more comfortable (no commuting, no dressing up, feeling of being at home, etc)?

When I think about the best times in my own life, they were the times when I had a close group of people I lived and hung out with (college, summer camp, etc). I assume it's the same for many others reading this. So why do we not live more like that into our adult years?
A > B means that A can make B to do something that B cannot make A do.

By definition this kind of order relationship is a marker of «power» struggle.

Let's take the example of the kosher/allahl for instance, in a term of organoleptic quality kosher/allahl is the same as normal food. So rigourously on the level that that matters the minority is not harming the majority, except that ritual are first increasing the costs of food, secondly being used to found some «religious mafia».

Do you want your everyday food when you are in the majority of the atheists / not very praticant religious people found proselytism?

Should the tolerant people be forced to found intolerance?

Second example; the peanuts/gluten/allergy free food: it seems harmless, isn't it?

Except that early exposure to allergens is strongly suspected (see amish) to help build resistance to allergies & asthma (see toys dolls). Thus, selling exclusively allergens free food diminishes the risks for a minority at the price of exposing the young majority to even more problems in the future.

Having recently met too much healthy food delirant retarded for my own sanity, they often blame their allergies to «the lack of hygiene» (they often correlate with poverty), and imposes their food choices to the majority.

This question of the power of any group (whatever their size is) is a classical of the social contract where the Nation is supposed to limit freedom in regard of the common interest. It is a protestant way of thinking.

Maybe older people are better at rationalizing low errors.

e.g. if there is a small error, older people can convince themselves that they were right and the world is wrong. (My reasoning was correct, but the answer was wrong by chance. Therefore I won't change my reasoning).

However, younger people are less able to rationalize these small errors, forcing them to accept the conclusion that they are wrong.
