100 grams of shrimp are roughly 100 calories. Let's generously assume that one shrimp from the video yields 200 grams of meat. So he would need to continuously catch 10 shrimp a day to satisfy a 2000 calorie diet. Seems to me that the shrimp population of this stream in the video would be exhausted pretty quickly and he would need to move elsewhere to continue hitting his calorie goals.

Given that we are surrounded by an incredible amount of high-calorie food (100g of a Snicker's bar provide 488 calories), it is easy to forget how difficult it is to source calories in the wild.
What about a laptop than can properly and surely support a 4k external monitor over dp 1.2? It's hard to find them.

Yeah, I came up with some pretty dark stuff trying to imagine what an "autovacuum" was.

No, it's nice to see vessels that mere mortals could conceivably afford on there!

I went through about 10 pages and didn't see anything under sail, though... (Edit: okay, there's one sailing yacht in the top 48, and she's currently languishing at #36. It seems most people have a rather different idea of what a real yacht should look like!)
The passage you quote says little or nothing about the distribution of ages of married women within that range and the ages of those women married when they first married. On one hand, the married half of women in the age range could largely be the older half. On the other, the typical age of a newly married woman might be much younger than the typical age of an already married woman.
Isn't anarchocapitalism a contradiction in terms? Capitalism is perhaps the most statist of all forms of society. It's development coincided with the birth of the nation state. Markets have been a part of human societies since the birth of agriculturalism, but it was the state that created the large scale market systems required for capitalism to flourish. Historically markets were established in conquered areas to support standing armies. The same story for currency, which is introduced alongside the market as a means of tax payment levied upon the population by the conqueror; the army comes with the currency and the population has to acquire it through market transactions with them.
Schooling is another big one, the Karolingian expansion first instated it in Europe and around the time of the industrial revolution there was a clear need of schooling the peasantry into the new market driven systems, unifying disparate dialects, teaching basic arithmetics, making sure they can read instructions and do basic record keeping. It's around that time you see the establishment of new public institutions such as prisons and police for enforcing private property law, expansion of courts for arbitrage, the list goes on. Almost all of the foundations of capitalism were created by state power and coercion.

My favorite XFS workflow:

1. filesystem is corrupted, once again

2. try to repair it

3. oh right, the repair tool can not replay the journal

4. try to mount it

5. admit after 3 hours of nothing that the journal-replay code triggered on mount actually can really not deal with corruption

6. reboot the server to get the filesystem unstuck

7. rerun repair, this time throwing away the journal

8. look at the empty filesystem with everything in lost+found

9. restore from backup

The team I'm in only runs 1'400 servers, yet this happens regularly.
I made this in Go & postgreSQL as a learning exercise.
There are 60 questions and I haven't developed the 'end' yet, it just goes back to the start. So if you see the questions repeating, it's time to stop.
If you hover over the percentage graph it will give you the stats so far for that question.
Discoverability is big, because port numbers can often mean anything, but the server side is basically web workers.

Most easy to spin up servers fall into these categories:

* Static files only

* Tough to fine tune configuration

* Synchronous connections unless you want to ramp the complexity up

* Require a separately installed interpreter

Web workers within the browser solve this.

You probably don't want to use this to run a Gmail clone, but a simple media server, maybe.

I see it as great for LANs, and potentially a simpler replacement for SharePoint in SMBs.
I think you shouldn't dislike computers for not enjoying what other people do with it. But a part of the magic of computers and the internet in the 90's is definitely gone, for ever, true. But hey, would you prefer to go back to connecting to a BBS with a 14k4 modem? I prefer my wireless 340Mbps broadband modem, really.

Fortunately I do enjoy every new day and can still become excited about new technology, which is emerging all the time. And I truly believe that computers and the internet have become much better and ever more interesting. You just have to be very selective in the vastness of things out there.

He had some yams with it, as well! But yes, I think the big gain here is protein, two shrimp a day in the diet of a family with five members would be a huge boost vs. hit and miss hunting / gathering.
I think all technological revolutions were a big game changer and people who didn't follow it lost a lot of advantages for that. It is the same with this one. Now if you are 55 years old (and this guy seems to be) and you have saved enough money to stop caring, then go ahead.

But don't misunderstand that this is a luxury that you need to be able to afford. If you don't have rich parents, or saved enough money to live without the internet, you must must must find a place in the internet world that you can stay at (e.g. some FOSS 1990 style mailing list) and at least find some way to use social media (gnu social or G+ anyone?) in some reasonable way and have some kind of internet presence (e.g. a github page and some foss projects you supply commits to).

Really, try if you can't afford the luxury to ignore it. Politics always talks about the gap between rich and poor that gets bigger and bigger. But the same is true for the gap between people who take part in the internet and use it to their advantage, and those who ignore it. Both these gaps already overlap to some degree, and that overlap will continue to grow!
Interesting. I couldn't disagree more! Combinators are very handy for error handling in Rust. More than that, combinators (and their limits) are essential to understand in order to motivate `try!`. Indeed, in Rust, matching against a Result type explicitly isn't especially common. Instead, one uses `try!`. `try!` abstracts three things at once: case analysis, error conversion and control flow. The chapter actually goes into detail and demonstrates why combinators and match expressions are insufficient for ergonomic error handling. IMO, this approach leads to the greatest understanding, because everything is laid bare and follows a nice progression from first principles.

With that said, in a book, I totally agree that the chapter could be broken up into more manageable pieces. But I do think all of the content there is essential for understanding how to do error handling in Rust. I feel pretty safe in saying that I use all of those concepts in most crates I've published.

Thank you for replying by the way. I'll continue to noodle on your thoughts and see if there's a happy place between us. (I kind of suspect that happy place is the new book, with content delivered in more manageable chunks. Alas, my blog is not book. :P)
I just skimmed over skiplist in point 10 of your book. The concept and definition of skiplist is easy to grok and it is well explained but in point 10 there is not any information as to when should I use a skiplist, what kind of problem a skiplist is a good tool to use. I have bookmarked your page, it seems to be a useful resource if it is complemented with a comparison and use case for all these data structures.

14.4kbps! When I first connected to the internet, 300bps was the order of the day. We loved it because it was a lightning fast upgrade from the poor sad folks that were still stuck with 110bps. Gosh, what we could have done in those days with UTF-8 and Unicode...

> Similarly, you can just Ctrl+V to paste in the terminal instead of having to work around with extra modifier keys.

– that's a bit dangerous; Ctrl-V is normally used to "escape"/make literal the following keypress, or do block select in vim.

The notification-on-long-running-process looks very handy though (I've been using https://gist.github.com/unhammer/01c65597b5e6509b9eea , but of course clicking it doesn't put me back in the right tmux window). And the "energy-sucking apps" indication mentioned in http://blog.elementary.io/post/152626170946/switching-from-m... looks very handy. (I've been considering creating wrapper for Firefox that Ctrl-Z's it when it's minimized …)

Is anyone running the Elementary DE (or parts of it) on Ubuntu? Does it work OK, or do you have to run the whole OS for it to be worth it?
I was impressed with his spear thrower demonstration, I was pretty convinced that it would have done for me if I had been in the way. Hunting seems hard even with a gun, and long, and I suspect that scenes of a pig with a spear in it screaming and thrashing around would not do a youtubers profile much good at all.
Still that does not stop me from solving 90% of the problem using seperations. For example I would like to have greater say in where my taxes are spent. If we can all agree on this, this would be great.

But likely technology (as always) will come to rescue before democracy. This is in reference to rise of renunciations, AirBnB etc.

The bureaucratic dynasties under the Mandate of Heaven ruled for ~3,000 years in China, ~2100 BCE until 1912. Individual dynasties lasted for 100s of years, the longest, the Zhou, for 790 years from 1046 BC to 256 BC.

The English royal system has persisted with relatively little discontinuity from 1066 AD to present, some 950 years.

Um, how would PTSD "date" an episode? The clinical term may be recent but it's not going to go away and it didn't just start - see reports of shellshock from WW1.
Absolutely! You've got my sympathy here.

Failing an interview can be a massive kick in the egoand self-esteem. Though, I don't know about the muscle pains, and personally, my frustration is more with the hiring process that is so wildly biased towards false negatives.

I'm fortunate that I'm not looking at the moment, but the interviews I have gone on in the last couple years have been draining and sometimes result in baffling feedback, or none at all.

I feel like interviews have a bias towards people who have practice doing interviews. The section of the process where they say "code this now" is unnatural and you've got to be practiced at it.

Consider that you'll have to do 5 of those onsites before you get the swing of things (and start getting offers).

Don't feel bad, you're not wasting their time you're both trying to make a connection and the tools we have for making that connection are "blunt instruments "
That's probably because their system is flawed.

In Denmark, we never have to wait for long. Whenever those in power want to pass something big or important in parliament, they seek a broad support - otherwise, it'll just get repealed whenever they lose power.

Everything certainly isn't perfect here (yes, it can be darn annoying when center parties hold too much power - but then again, it is a stabilizing factor), but healthy mechanics can get you a long way with democracy.

I feel a lot of people in this thread point out cases where democracy doesn't work. That's easy. But maybe it would be better to look for cases where it does work and learn from it.
OP is getting older. And, like me you move from nights of Gentoo tinckering to Arch, to 30 min Ubuntu LTS installs and hoping the default config files are what you need. And, in the future I see myself buying a Synology.

A child is intrinsically motivated to play, you loose this as an adult. No biggie but your shit just needs to get the job done, and the job is not learning as much about the shit as you can. Such is life, you have other things to do now, like raising a kid, and getting enough sleep while doing it.

As with life I learned a lot when young, taking the time to learn the stuff that I still use now. Perhaps computers extend the playing age because they are intellectually satisfying for much longer than other forms of play, but eventually you're done playing.
> I, for one, also have no idea what you might mean by a "democratic economy".

Co-ops, probably.
A different angle, but I don't like computers that are in your face, costing time, rather than giving me time.

I don't like games. I don't like VR. I don't like AR. I don't like television. Also reading HN too much makes me feel empty.

However, I do like smart things that do stuff for me and get out of my way. I really like waking up in a warm bedroom while the rest of the house is allowed be cold. I like the convenience of telling Alexa, "play something relaxing" when I come home from work. I like having to clean a little less thanks to a Roomba. I like not having to switch off stuff because it's done automatically. I like an AI to schedule my appointments.

Every computer that minimizes my interactions with computers or gives me time, the most precious resource, I like!

Of course they can be ignored, completely, especially on a personal basis, but, in a lot of scenarios on enterprise level this is possible as well. I do most of my paid computing work in a large private network.

Has there ever been more diversity in terms of a customized computing experience than today? No, is my answer. There is something for everyone.

Why should the centralization of some content be a bad thing? The majority of cat videos and other garbage is now on Youtube, good riddance I say, easier to avoid. I say it is easier for me, to get at the content I qualify as good and interesting to me, than ever before.

Man, I used to have to call up random BBSes to explore content... And to reach content beyond my small country, I had to hack business PBXes, so I did not have to pay for the long distance call, as I could not afford it.

I used internet from the beginning, and I do certainly not miss it, there were very little content.

If one is feeling nostalgic, one can revert completely to "neckbeard practices". Go back to newsgroups, use mailing lists and IRC. I am sure OP will feel right at home. But it is also possible to combine these things (modern services), like IRC and Slack. Just one example.

To end, even though we are talking about big services in terms of infrastructure, consumers, and bandwidth, they are a small part of the diversity of the internet and modern computing.

Modern computing is not about services that come and go, it is about what it has always been. R&D, innovation. Modern computing is going to take us to Mars. It's about CERN. Autonomous vehicles, etc.
Yes. First step was https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-linux-container-.... Layering Lambda's image on top of that to assist people building and testing is definitely on our roadmap.
> a lot of democratic decisions end up with really close counts like 51% against 49%.

America (and the few other remaining non-proportional systems) suffers from this problem much more than the more advanced democratic systems. If America is all you know, you shouldn't generalize too much.
I would like to see a language like haskell with no delayed or lazy evaluation so that one can better predict performance. Haskell has a great community and a charm that I would like for Ocaml. Don't know if Jane Street is still advocating their Ocaml core or kernel. F#, ml, haskell and OCaml, and a strong language for parallelism whose name I don't remember are hints that we need a better language. Haskell is not prepared for real world :), and OCaml is a turtle moving target.

This is a modern manifesto. I'm almost there, just a bit less, for now.
Not opposed to it, but rarely find it necessary. The time when I find OK Google most useful is actually just when my hands are busy and I'm trying to find out if I'm running early, on time, or late. I ask the time. Perhaps I should just have a wall clock.
This is a normal part of growing up. It sounds like the author is perhaps in his mid-30s? 40ish? Am I close? Actually that doesn't matter at all, because this happens throughout your entire life. It's happened to me several times.

The secret to human interests is that they have an arc. A beginning, a middle and an end. Are you still doing the same things you were doing when you were ten? Maybe, but maybe not. I'm certainly not. There were no computers when I grew up. Well maybe a few ;)

It's natural to be bummed out when your interests (work interests, love, play, etc) change. It feels weird and uncomfortable, like we are losing something. It feels bad. You wonder if you are in a deeper funk...like real depression. Will it return? Is it a phase? You don't know.

The best way I have found to deal with this is just to watch. Observe. Hmm. I'm really not feeling this today and haven't for a while. That sucks. Don't get too caught up in it. Let the feelings rise and fall. Keep noticing. What is it that I do get turned on by? Well, I'd really like to be reading right now. So make time and do it. Let your urges take you where they will. Trust them. Let them lead you towards something that does it for you. The author seems to have that covered. He (she) is aware of things that are interesting. Keep doing these things. Let the things that interest you reveal themselves. Have faith in this cycle. It does eventually resolve itself.

I realize that this whole deal is tough due to responsibilities. Family, etc. People are counting on you. You have bills to pay. Appointments to keep. Keep them. Stick to the routine while you explore. This is important, because learning about yourself is easier when the external drama levels are low.

You will know if this course works, because you will feel better. If you still have angst and it is getting worse, then you may need to talk to a real person (a whole other kettle of fish).

My advice: listen and watch. Do what you need to while exploring what makes you happy.

I ended up feeling similarly, no longer hacking at home, no more linux installs on my home machines, etc.

Instead I started on other hobbies, I repair physical things (mechanical, electrical, electronic), I enjoy photography, I work on my car.

I used to make the joke that if ever computers were no longer a thing for me that maybe I'd move to New Zealand and make violins for a living... that time isn't here yet, but I can feel it.
Just an honest question. Can I obtain some estimation of the capabilities of CS people working for the government by just reading all these code. Will I find here a glimpse of code beautifully designed and tailored to solve some really deep problem that require real intelligence?, can I use these code to learn how to code a big project?

Maybe a "parallel reconstruction" method would allow to identify the top reasons why a neural net made a decision and repackage those as the explanation.

Or run an ablative test where part of the features are removed and their effect measured, so as to identify which features drive the decision most.
SiVal might be referring to the iterative thinning and weight reduction of the machines.
IMHO the feeling the OP is describing is nothing specific or exclusive to computers or the internet.

If you listen/read closely to people that work in all sorts of fields, this feeling is quite common.

You made a career out of a hobby you really enjoyed. And after a few years it became your work and you no longer enjoy it. You now find joy in some other activity. That new thing? That's your hobby now.

I got this impression after years of thinking of throwing myself into video-game journalism or bicycle mechanics as a profession (2 of my favorite hobbies). When I started speaking to actual video-game journalists and bicycle mechanics I immediately noticed that I couldn't find a singe one that still enjoyed his respective activity anymore.

I'm not going to try to play "psychology expert" here, but for me the reason seems to be pretty simple:
Those people could no longer spend their time playing the video games they liked or riding and fixing their own bikes. They now had to play all the games they were "told" to play and on top of it take notes and write meticulously about them, the bicycle guy now had work on a bunch of strangers bikes he didn't care about and keep up with a bunch of new bike tech he actually thought was needless bullshit, and he had to sell bullshit Lycra shorts and stuff like that.

To this day (37yo) its one of the decisions I think I got "the most right" in my life. Not turning one of my hobbies into my job. (curiously this runs right against the common advice "Take what you are passionate about and make that your life's work.")
