And a serious answer: I honestly don't like them. I'm sensitive to some brands lubricants, and can't do the spermicide, so that might have an effect. But the main thing I get is that it makes it feel more like... I don't know, fake or dildo-like?

I always imagine it is much more noticable to men, mostly because of where nerves are located. A penis has many more feeling nerve endings than vaginal walls, so the points where a woman would notice a condom are somewhat less than where a man would. Spouse says it is a huge difference :: I imagine it is since Bill Gates put up money to try to improve them so that use was higher.

Edit: I forgot the percentages. I'd say it probably knocks off 20-40%: Thankfully female physiology allows for different sorts of "pleasure points", as compared to likely 40-60% for men, from what I can tell.

Maybe we will, if we do start putting a chip in everything around us (including our clothes). Then we'd also be more vulnerable to those chips potentially breaking around us, too. It probably still wouldn't be quite as bad as asbestos, though, as that's much more frail.

This is not an accurate statement.
To my understanding, Planck time describes a limit on sample rate, not frequency. That is, we can't perceive time at a finer grain than whole multiples of Planck time. But even starting with only integers, we can theorize and simulate floats. The speed of light is as arbitrary a scale as anything else when you're talking about absolutes, hence "it's all relative".

Locally != independently; the training process is recursive, so interactions between layers are present. From the paper:
"The parameters of the entire SARM are solved recursively. The current ARM’s parameters are calculated using the output from the previous ARM. Then, the output of the current ARM is fed into the subsequent ARM (or the classifier, if the current one is the last ARM), as its input."
I didn't get why this was important and the article didn't reveal it upon skimming. Since it seems to get people very enthusiastic I gave it a proper read. After 11 paragraphs, the actual news is revealed:

Both that and beat syncing are basic prerequisites and the real journey takes years to master and most of it isn't technical per se.

As I a software developer with no degree (working since 2009 in 3 countries), I can share my experience of attempts to learn advanced math.

In 2010, I was very interested in foundations of mathematics, an extremely abstract math branches:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_mathematics

In particular I spent huge amount of time on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki (Set theory)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Mathematica

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Foundations_of_Arithmetic

http://www.jhtm.nl/tudelft/tw3520/Introduction_to_Mathematic...

What attracted me is that these books doesn't require any specific knowledge of classical math. I.e. they are self-contained.

It was fun and ... the experience to delve into highly abstract view on entire math.

The big problem is that while I read that for more than a year, I had no experience in problem solving and just ignored exercises (thinking that concept is everything). As a result of that, my entire knowledge is completely evaporated and I literally can't solve any of exercises.

After that year, I dropped math till recently.

Now, I have completely different approach. I learning elementary olympiad style math and most importantly solving problems all the time. Currently, I'm into series of books:

https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/store

These books made for math olympiad preparation. While I solving exercises, I feel how solid my knowledge is.

So if you want to learn advanced mathematics, learn elementary olympiad-style math first. It will give you solid background to start learning advanced math (not just knowledge background but most importantly problem solving skills).
That's very cool. Thanks

Arbitrary protocols over HTTP using HOP – HTTP delivering bytes
HOP is a tool meant to tunnel any sort of traffic over a standard HTTP channel. This applies to traffic other than SSH as well.
Useful for scenarios where there's a proxy filtering all traffic except standard HTTP(S) traffic. In such cases, using corkscrew directly isn't possible, and thus, this.

Aren't most of these “optimizations” things that a decent programming language implementation should automatically do for you in 2016? (Lambda lifting, using efficient representations for variant types, etc.) Rolling them by hand is awfully low-level, and completely defeats the point to using a high-level language.

---

I can't properly reply to your replies, because “I'm submitting too fast”, so I'l reply here.

@leppr: I'm not denying the importance of these optimizations. I'm saying that they're being performed by the wrong programmer, or rather, by a programmer performing the wrong role (language user, rather than language implementor).

@pizlonator:

> Avoiding allocations is generally good advice. Compilers have a hard time eliminating them

The most effective way to avoid allocations is to make the language value-oriented (where values are merely represented in physical memory, but not identified with those representations) rather than object-oriented (where the physical identity of every object matters). An implementation of a value-oriented language is free to store the entire representation of an arbitrarily large compound value in a single memory block. By comparison, the gross amount of micromanagement shown in the article is a lot of effort, whose benefits have only limited local significance.

> Using bitfields is a classic trick that is harder to do for the implementation than it is for the user.

Then provide an abstract bitfield type as a library, and let that type be used by everyone else as if it were a primitive type.

> Finally, I love the no-op function trick. This is not a low-level optimization at all!

It is. What you really want here is an abstract type of lazy suspensions. Then, again, that type can be used by everyone else, without caring about its internal implementation.

Funny part of the video, is that at one point he was starting to talk about how the chinese raided Areva (major french nuclear company).

But this part got cut even before the video was completely removed. You can only see him starting the story, and then it stopped.

Honestly, as a french i'm a bit scared to see someone mention all those recent "state secrets" in a campus, with cameras all around. He even described the working method (mixing human intelligence and electronic), the workplace ( it ressembles a lot the "Bureau des affaires secret" TV show, because they had access to the DGSE offices), and the limits of the service (number of men, lack of resource to treat the information, damages done by snowden to surveillance capabilities, etc.)

At this point i only see two options :

1/ the guy's a bit old and senile.

2/ He knows exactly what he's doing, and he thinks France's intelligence capabilities are such in a mess that he needs to make this information public.

Judging by the recent intelligence fiascos, and the ever increasing terrorist threats the country's facing, i'd say 2/

Depends on what you define as GR, there are classical and relativistic versions of Quantom Mechanics.

Each theory is useful for various things because each theory provides you with certain tools and perspectives that are useful for performing specific tasks.

At the end every theory is a set of laws and abstractions you use theories to change the perspective of how you look at things but these are often abstracts.

You can look at particles as particles, waves or fields it doesn't change reality but every one of these viewpoints comes with its unique benefits and you can chose between them depending on what benefits you most to for a specific task or a situation.

Definitely not. So much more is possible with DJing now that you don't need to swing vinyl or beatmatch.. and it's still easy to tell the difference between an okay DJ and a great one. I'll paste some words from one of my favorite DJs:

> And its sad, if your sport was showing off how wonderfully you can beat match, because that has really become obsolete. Although i can beat match as instantaneously as the next DJ, i don’t give an at’s rasss about doing it and making people watch me do it. I’m rather much more interested in creating and collecting awesome sounds, and layering, combining and broadcasting them as a means to conjur up an energetically cathartic experience for other humans.

Yes, they knew it landed, they got data back and then other than the last burst, never heard from it again. That's from the article and other news sources.

Nice to know that it was still there after the last burst, that it hadn't been swept into space. And from the pictures it's going to be on there for awhile.

One man's tight integration is another man's tight coupling.
The main problem of contemporary mathematics is that it is unbelievably obfuscated to most people, unnecessarily so. So even if you a have super-simple thing, mathematicians invented ways how to completely obfuscate meaning (often unfortunately in order to achieve prestige and being considered elite as a form of intellectual pride). Imagine Dirichlet's box principle, a thing that a 5-year old should understand; now look at how is it taught in discrete mathematics. I remember myself being really upset after 5-year study of theoretical backgrounds and some things finally clicked and I realized how simple they were and how much was just a ballast to reach them. Often mathematicians invent a theory in their teens and spend the rest of their lives to fight with unexpected monsters in boundary conditions they created. Similar to making a distributed middleware backbone and then debugging it with all unexpected network error/split brain stuff coming in.
Thank you! I will admit that it was by no means quick or easy and there were many, many times I wish I could have had an actual person with me to explain it. Not to mention the frequent of wanting to give up when something wasn't 'clicking' and i felt i couldn't do it.

You really need to have great music chops and knowledge to be a great controllerist. But here in Los Angeles there is no love for controllerism we need an outlet for this amazing art form, here people are still obsessed with vinyl but controllerism elevates the art form far past what is even possible with vinyl.

That is in one of their paid plans.

However my customer needs vary, some of them will be good with just the auth0 free plans, some will choose the paid plans... some do not need it at all. The one who did need it found the price well within their estimate for it (they had a figure in mind for paying for the feature to be added which amounts to about 3+ years of auth0 service).
Maybe they should put it into a very very close orbit and wait for the micro gravity doing it's work. Maybe large harpoons tangling on sticks every side. It's easy for me to talk at this point, but it's their job to expect that surface. I don't think other comets passing closer by have better surfaces.

I'm following this mission almost from the beginning, amazed by the success despite Philae's short lived life on comet, and think the science aspect of it all is unbelievably great. But that landing moment made all the difference, and it failed to fix it on the surface, hence the criticism.

Would we consider Curiosity mission success if landing put it upside down?

Remote or Barcelona | Contract | 50-100% | System Administrator / DevOps

We are a startup in the education space working from Barcelona and about 8 other locations and need an administrator/DevOps (with strong Ops) that helps us to scale.

We are currently working with MongoDB, Redis, Nginx, LINUX, Amazon AWS, Git, IBM Watson and a few dozen of APIs. Our developers use CoffeeScript for Meteor, Swift for iOS, Java and C++ for Android.

You should help us to plan and maintain a scalable hosting architecture, to standardize and manage environments for development, stage and production, help with performance optimizations, monitoring, load and content distribution, test automation, failover, backup and security.

We would like to start with a two month contract and continue if all goes well. Our founders have worked on successful startups in the past.

Knowing Meteor and it's special treatment of the Oplog would be a plus.
Interesting article now take these suggestions and toss them out the window. Architecture, correctness, maintainability and readability of code are much more important than optimizing for these extreme edge cases.

If there are performance issues, profile and refactor only the affected areas. Most of the time your code isn't going to get exercised enough to make any difference. You're also fighting JIT assumptions, since all VM devs will attempt to optimize against common patterns - so though these performance 'bottlenecks' may be true today, that may not be the case tomorrow.

Anectode: I had a co-op student preemptively apologize for using a double for-loop brute force search as non-optimal and not 'clean', during his code-review. The lists in question were guaranteed to have a size of 5, and that code was executed once per life-time of the app.
I don't agree with your suggestion about olympiad math since it often has little relationship to applying advanced mathematics, but there definitely is merit to the idea that you might need to put theory into practice in order to gain insight about these things.

I recommend (surprise surprise) programming. Implement fast fourier transform in C and then Common Lisp. Write a finite difference PDE solver. Try solving actual problems to motivate you. Signals analysis can be a fun way to exercise your knowledge. Try analyzing your favorite songs and figuring out what makes them sound the way they do. Maybe implement some audio filters. If that's not your cup of tea, write physics or chemistry simulations instead. Then use OpenGL to visualize them. Then make them interactive.

I can go on and on, but I'll just leave two book recommendations for those who might enjoy programming advanced mathematics.
