> The one thing I'm trying to avoid is telling people about it, I don't ever want to put someone in the position of "listen, my life is harder than yours because of X condition, so you need to adjust to me". I think that's gross. Like my loud friend. It's totally his right to be loud, and it's unfair to him that someone like me lives next door

It's good that you're not asking him to adjust to you, but I hope you realise that you do not deserve to live like this, and that help might be available.

Have you seen a doctor?

There are some physical health checks they'll want to do, and then there are some mental health options they can talk about with you.

This article is from 1999 though. It's probably wrong for 2016, but that's to be expected.
I really like that. And matrix * matrix would just have to be 3D, with a whole cube of taps. Sure, not easy to illustrate, but the concept extends well. It also makes it more obvious what the complexity of the operation is.
That's ok, as they can afford building new nuclear reactors ([1]).

Mr Staltz, please allow me to elaborate. I did not mean to be mean at all, nor to reduce the value of your work, excuse me if I made you feel like that. I am actually grateful that you made this animation as it allows one to reflect on the concept.

If your kid proudly brings home a drawing, you are most probably going to greet him with warm encouragements no matter the quality of the art. The kid is in a process of developing his creative sense, learning, and forming his/her sense of reality. Comparing the drawing to what mature artists produce would certainly have a negative effect on the kid. The point is to provide a feedback relevant to the recipient of the critic.

The same goes here with this animation. I respect your work but obviously disagree with the usefulness of it. You made an animation to explain the matrix product, which is a really good idea. Alas, I think the realization of it gives a confused picture of what it is. I doubt that a student with no prior understanding of matrix products will get much enlightment. Too many operations are going on at the same time. This means that it misses its intended audience: students in need of building an intuitive understanding of the matrix product. That's what all those javascript (among others) animations (ex: http://jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sines-signals/dft_int...) are all about: make it simpler to grasp a concept. Unfortunately, though beautiful, the animation is not clear. At best it provides a visual mnemonic for multiplying matrices which maybe useful for some but not for the younger version of me in need of understanding :)

I realize that instead of providing such a harsh critic, I would have been better inspired to suggest improvements. Mea culpa :)

This is a very good guide. I thought I knew python ecosystem well and I found something new for myself ('visual' package for 3D illustrations).

I am wondering if there are guides for the "reverse direction": I already know how to program, but I want to learn new scientific domain that is interesting to me: e.g. material science, climate modeling, etc. Something like Rosalind[1] does for bioinformatics.

Browser history is useful to user (but maybe the access to it could be restricted by means of authentication). I'm fine with off-line browser history that's accessible only to the user (and not JS running on a website). But sending any of it over the wire should definitely be opt-in.
I still can't believe a top-tier UNIX vendor required an expensive 3rd party software to have halfway decent file-system. Or in the case of HP-UX, partitioning.

I get that Veritas also did logical volume, raid and so on and that was a guenuine value added at the time. But so many box I saw had veritas so they could partition and get a file system that was OK with 36GB+ monster SCSI disks.
A few comments:

> Eventually the scientists went so far as to develop an in-house programming language for their models rather than settle for a numbercentric option such as ASCII, which was popular at the time.

I might be missing something obvious, but this makes no sense to me. ASCII is not a programming language. And although UTF8 has taken over, I think ASCII is still very common.

> (To this day the company’s website, rentec.com, looks like it dates from the Netscape era.)

That's not very fair. I think the design is quite modern and minimalistic, and the website has definitely had some recent updates. It uses jQuery 1.11.3, which was released last year.

> When the bill came, they would pull out a special calculator that could generate random numbers. Whoever produced the higher number picked up the tab.

I can't figure out why the author decided to include this anecdote. I also can't figure out why the scientists didn't just flip a coin.

Another random thought: It's interesting to think that whenever I've bought or sold some stock in the past, that little piece of data has made it's way through all of their millions of lines of code, and all of their neural networks. They might have even made a few fractions of a cent based on my behavior.

> By studying cloud cover data, they found a correlation between sunny days and rising markets from New York to Tokyo.

Wow. That's incredibly interesting, and that's just one example. Alright, their code has probably read all of my tweets, too. And everything else I post about online. Especially on all the subreddits for investments and stocks.

> I don’t know, like 90 Ph.D.s in math and physics, who just sit there looking for these signals all day long.

Oh geez. Yeah, they're looking at everything. Traffic, Yelp reviews, Pokemon Go, Netflix ratings, flight delays. I don't know, maybe even newspaper horoscopes. Maybe the newspaper prints something that says Virgos are going to get lucky with an investment. And then they watch all of the online activity of all the virgo investors who still read newspapers.

Oh. And all of those companies selling your data? They're buying that, too.

This sounds like a fascinating place to work. I want to know some of their secrets.

One more random thought: They knew Donald Trump was going to win. I guarantee it. And they probably made a ton of money on all those stocks that went up.

I've come around to thinking that not only is propaganda unavoidable, it's sometimes a good thing. Sometimes it's useful to avoid war, or to avoid public backlash against something that is actually good, but misunderstood like (potentially, anyway) TPP.
Using /r/golang is the community's call, why do they care about federated things? It isn't like we discuss some sensitive information over it that we need to "trust" reddit. Do we really "trust" Google/FB?

The latest treatment protocols for anxiety seem to have shifted from GABA receptor agonists to SSRIs and supplements like folic acid[1].

The jury is still out on how effective these treatments are compared to CBT. I'd be curious about how physicians subjectively feel about prescribing benzos to their patients.

>We also made big and brave decisions like my wife quitting her exhausting job up in London and her retraining to work with young people in a college environment — stressful, but local.

Looks like now that guy is mainly responsible for all the stress and anxiety of mortgage and family finances. Brave decision indeed, at least form his side, hope he doesn't catch that horrible illness too.

There is some evidence that women are quitting due to high stress environment of modern workplaces[1]. Given this instantly solved the issue in this particular case, safe to assume it was the root cause of anxiety , and that's what "solved" it, not talking, therapy and all the other stuff.

>We also got a cat.

I strongly recommend this also. Cats will show you how to chill, how to find that sunspot and enjoy life. They will instantly de-stress you with their chill vibe.

Edit: de-stress != distress.

I remember about 10 years ago when Google's UX design was absolutely state of the art. It was a no bullshit, maybe even ugly, aesthetic. It was literally unbelievably fast and supremely useful.

Fast forward to now and it's FILLED with garbage like this across the board. Mystery meat navigation abounds, contrast is poor, inconsistency is everywhere likely due to the complexity of their menu structures. And then there is what the parent postal mentions: colored text in body copy that isn't links. Holy hell.

These are all UX mistakes that are covered in software design 101. I guess the money hose of Google search let's you get away with it all. They just keep redesigning. And their products keep becoming more impenetrable.
well this sounds like a terrible idea !
Their training, validation, and test set is split on time rather than on the person speaking so 'destroys' may be overly optimistic for real-world applications.
Funny. They site says that they don't do that.

Quoting from Reddit Help: Will you remove something defamatory about me or my friend? [0]:

The best way to deal with incorrect information on the Internet is to post
the correct information next to it. The reddit community is usually very
supportive of such a response, and will likely vote to give the correction
greater prominence than the original post. Redditors love a good

From someone who's been there - and occasionally starts to head back there - I offer sincere congratulations on (1) recognizing it and (2) speaking about it both here and to this new person in your life. That said, I cannot stress enough the value of a good counselor and possibly medication to help get things on a sustainable, healthy, enlivening course.

(For me it took some meds to help give myself mental space to begin forming healthy habits and ways of thinking. In case it helps: that first pill was literally the hardest thing I've ever had to swallow, because at the time I thought it meant that I couldn't fix myself. In retrospect I realize that choosing to take meds was in fact me taking control.)
First of all, Cantrill does not say anywhere that they should be used identically. Second, I'm not sure they cannot be used in a similar way. For example, Wikipedia cites this sentence, "If a person is born of a ... gloomy temper ... they cannot help it," from 1759.
I could, but that's like you saying the concept of off the record isn't valuable, as everything you say in public is a complete representation of your beliefs, the fact that a concept as off the record exists I think implies otherwise.

People vent, people say things that are poorly thought out in frustration and other circumstances.

In the current climate of vilification, I'm not sure it's a good idea to take the worst that someone may say in a thoughtless moment and use that to label them.
It appears hypothetical. We need to educate people such that they understand why it is not. It's the only solution.
There is only one thing I can think of that would be worse than the spread of fake news, and that is legislation to address the spread of fake news. Unfortunately, that's where this is leading; if not in the Trump administration, then in the following.

Yes. The problem is you go back to zero sleep and anxiety. If you can solve sleep some other way, there are no withdrawal symptoms.

Problem with this is that it 1) works, 2) resistance is developed fast 3) you are back to square zero very soon. So it has to be taken in small doses with long intervals, when anxiety is at its worse.

It is not addictive as other drugs, most countries even sell it without prescription.

Hey, I hope you do well in the future. It's hard to read this kind of stuff, but knowing this is how some people live makes me feel like I have nothing to complain about ever.

Sweden in 2014 produced about 64 TWh (42%) from large hydro and 62 TWh (41%) from nuclear. The rest came from wind 12 TWh (7.9%) and from other 13 TWh (8.5%), other being mostly biofuel and waste.

https://bjelkeman.wordpress.com/2015/04/17/sustainable-energ...

The electricity use is only 123 TWh of a total energy use of 379 TWh (2011). Of which 127 TWh is still coal and oil products. So still a lot of work to be done, primarily in transport.

For a steel-frame building, yes. For a concrete high rise you're playing with fire. I'm surprised the building code allowed this.

It seems people forget that Reddit is a community focused on comedy. In the case of Go, if you want to tell a joke about Reddit not having generics, or poke fun at the people who tell jokes about Go not having generics, /r/golang is the place for that.

While that style of comedy may not be to everyone's tastes, there is clearly a market for it and Reddit is currently serving it. If you take away that comedic forum on Reddit, it is not going to go away, it is going to go somewhere else. Hopefully not to the mailing list or other places that serve as hosts of meaningful discussion, where the noise would be a huge detractor.

The CEO editing comments to point insults at pro-trump moderators is perfectly in line with what Reddit stands for. Playful and kind of funny, at least for for some definition of funny. I'm not sure what there is to gain from shutting that down? I wouldn't hold a serious discussion there, but I never would have at any point in time. That's not its purpose.
Yeah man thanks.

>People talk to other people because they're bored, you don't have to be good at anything to have someone pass the time by talking to you.

That's difficult to believe because it doesn't match up to my reality. I usually find I don't have much to talk to anyone about unless we're doing something like making music or exercising or whatever, which is impossible in my current state.

I agree about the sun and walks absolutely, I also need to move. Used to live in a condo with concrete walling where I couldn't hear a single neighbour ever, combined with living 30 floors above street level, it was basically heaven. Moved into a first floor place where the walls are paper thin. I hear everything. The business below me 9 hours a day, my friend, the 6 lane street about 15 meters to my left, and especially the sirens, oh god the sirens.

I think the girl, combined with moving back into a condo in a less busy area will do me heaps actually.
Symmetrix, two Ms. They were more of a mainframe thing I thought. I never really got to play much with the really big gear, Starfires, Superdome and so on. By the time I got to use a 64-way SMP box (Origin 3800) it was already obsolescent and replaced a few years later with a pair of dual-quad core Xeons.
Yes, it would be stupid as a policy for the common good. But the common good is not really anyone's job. You know that XKCD comic about standards? ("Now you have n+1 of them.") Modern governance after a few centuries of evolution is like that times a million, and this misadapted collective decision-making is the great crisis of our time, a much bigger deal than climate change, for example. (If we could collectively think clearly and coordinate then we'd see climate change as a serious problem needing both immediate action and longer-term research and technology development, but probably well within our power.)

Programmers might help by making better tools for thinking and coordinating. Perhaps with a collective IQ boost for enough of us we can avoid the worst.
> the neutral pronoun is equally correct from an English language perspective

The neutral pronoun in English is 'it,' and using it to refer to a human being is always wrong.

The use of singular they is in a few contexts correct, but in many more contexts incorrect. The use of 'he-or-she' is inelegant and incorrect, and the use of generic she is less incorrect than silly.

Seriously, this is remarkably silly. 'Girl' in German is a neutral word, but no-one would say that German girls think of themselves as genderless. 'He' in English is normally the correct word to use generically; no-one sane would say that English-speakers think everyone is male.

(for that matter, the English word 'man' actually is genderless: the English word for a male human being is 'were,' as in werewolf — it's cognate to Latin 'vir')
Let's be honest here: The information war was fought on both sides. You had to dig through the mud to find any reliable news. I consumed a healthy mix of pro-clinton western media, RT, candidate videos straight from rallies and leaks like wikileaks or the video where Hillary stumbled. That's how you get a good overview.
Those days you feel good and in control are the days your cortex is strong. You want to increase the strength of the inhibitory cortex and reduce the loudness of your screaming amygdala. I think you can do this over time, it just takes a lot of work, like you say.

Edit: Reading your other posts, your lifestyle sucks for health, no offense. You need to be eating to keep up blood sugar to your brain to keep your cortex going strong.
Not sure why you single China out. It can be any vendor. I bought an intervalometer for my camera for $30 2 weeks ago. Took 8 days. Works great. Done the job. Chinese brand and shipped from china.

Amazon is great. But any vendor can be as dodgy as any eBay seller.
> Obama’s attack on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the
Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.

Is this really the best quote out there on Trump's intentions regarding NN?

To be honest, it looks like he took it for some other kind of regulation altogether and just used it as a pretext to bitch about Obama and censorship. If anything, NN forces all ISPs to "carry" conservative media.
It is completely normal and accepted for various agencies to make rules within the confines of the laws that have empowered them. It is in fact necessary considering how complex our society is. Congress cannot possibly control everything.

If congress has power to pass certain laws, they have power to relegate some of such authority to a governing body. If the FCC's rules are in accordance with the laws that empowered it, then there is nothing wrong.

And no Trump never said he is against net neutrality. If he did that, he might have lost the election -- net neutrality is very popular.
The days when I thought of ordering from amazon as a hassle free experience are long over. I now largely think of Amazon as a more expensive AliExpress.

a. Their search is broken.

b. Same item is listed by different sellers as different SKUs.

c. You cannot rely on reviews anymore.

d. You cannot filter by merchant and rely on receiving an item that is genuine since Amazon will comingle inventory from multiple merchants for the same SKU. Ie buying a product from Amazon has no guarantee that it is actually an item stocked by Amazon.

e. Their price competetiveness appears to have eroded. Best Buy etc no longer feel like a complete rip off in comparision.

f. Other retailers (Macys etc) have much more hassle free return policies.

Prime is the single thing that Amazon gets right in the whole selling experience - which is why I now think of Amazon as more of a logistics company than I do as a retailer.
I mean, if everyone preferred to leave anyway, then it would be an empty gesture to shut it down.
It's adorable that you think any site is immune to that kind of interference.
You can prevail here and censor 'wtbob in your filter bubble, but then all of a sudden someone like Trump is elected ...
May be, but you didn't use the word "paranoia" to describe just this in your previous comment; you described also things like medical information.
So... What exactly is the cost to government being justified here? Usually a tax is to pay for something, in this case it seems to be just "hey we want some of that money, give us some". What the fuck.
Great memories. During this era, I was at Citysearch and spent a lot of time in the Orange County Exodus DC. We had a nice rack of Sun gear, Extreme Networks switches and Alteon AceDirector load balancers.

I remember vividly that there was a cage down the row from us that was populated entirely by eMachines, which were a low end desktop PC that you could buy at Circuit City and Best Buy. We laughed at their cage but the company, 911gifts.com, ended up getting acquired for a nice sum, while our site and company was basically gone a few years later.

This is a good thing. With such a wide "readership," the data's bound to leak.

Fake news ala straight-faced version of the Onion is a problem. It delivers content to many sides and spreads fabrications. One concern is that established media will use this punching bag of sorts to delegitimize smaller news organizations and make themselves into the canonical news organizations. In other words they seem to be seeing this as an opportunity for a power play.
