I presume you'll be finding a new optometrist for next time. I would have refused to pay, since they weren't giving the full service. In Australia the eye test is covered by Medicare, so if they refused to supply it you could complain to the government insurer and there would be trouble.
Dammit I am so sick of the Python 3 zealots -- get shit done.
I have a really wide head, but a relatively narrow face. I have a lot of problems with fit as well as style as a result. I just went to Costco and tried on every pair of glasses they had, figured out what style looked best, took the measurements off the frames that fit, and used that to order glasses online. Costco's profit comes from their membership fees rather than selling anything, so you don't have to feel bad about not buying anything (since you already have a membership).

The one thing I need to look out for is how the hook on the arm is constructed. One of my ears is slightly farther back than the other (by maybe 2 millimeters). If I buy frames where the arm can't be readjusted the glasses can rest a bit askance on my face.
Isn't GC parameter tuning equivalent tuning model parameters and hence susceptible to over fitting? As soon a you patch your service, the parameters may need to change.
Good point, linked!
>the notion of striving for equal individual ownership of goods as a spark to action is nonsense.

Well he didn't say that. But you would do well to remember that during the Russian Revolution and subsequent years, those who were somewhat prosperous among the peasantry were purged, punished, sent to Siberia because of their prosperity. Their prosperity meant they were capitalist oppressors, you see.

No I just meant that under ordinary cirumstances, where there is no explicit threat made, there can be no legal liability on part of the school or teacher. And even when there is a threat made, so long as some report is made to her superiors (under the statute it's made reasonable attempts to report, not actually report and says report not call law enforcement or take steps like suspension or talking to the kid") there can be no legal liability. That's an extraordinary amount of protection from legal liability that private sector actors do not enjoy. In the private sector you can get sued for negligent supervision, and failing to act on threats can get you sued, you can't just say "I reported it to my supervisors" and leave it at that.

I'm not faulting the teachers, I'm talking more about legal liability in terms of sovereign immunity which limits or negates the liability of states from lawsuits.

My close friend tried Zenni. They sent her glasses which gave her fishbowl vision every time she rotated her head (edges warped quickly as the head turned). She contacted Zenni support and was told "We found a defect in your lenses and we'll send you corrected ones".

The same thing happened with the second pair. So she contacted them and got the same "We found a defect" and they sent her a third pair.

Same thing happened with the third pair. When they told her the same thing ("We found a defect") and offered to send her a fourth pair, she declined and got her refund.

I have nothing against online vs optometrist, but I do know of folks who have not had good luck online.

Amazon's Snowmobile Is Actually a Truck Hauling a Huge Hard Drive
Well it looks like this answers the question I posited above. Very interesting work, surprised I hadn't seen it.
Based on my experience in academia, I don't think there will be a significant boon to public culture because of this. Most academics are very specialized within their fields and are not used to having to explain, or justify, the fundamental theories of their fields to the general public. They work within a community in which everyone already accepts those things as the default position, and they assume that their audience has a deep background in the field.

In other words, most academics spend their careers preaching to the choir, and making little tweaks to their field in very specialized areas within an established framework -- what Kuhn refers to as "normal science." Successful engagement as a public intellectual requires a different set of practices.
There are penetration testing classes, but doubt that they are bundled together with classical CS, thought never know what some uni or courses may add.

I'd love to bring banking to the 21th century. (Ability to create virtual cards, scale bank accounts based on needs/usage, easy access to loans etc.). And all this would have to work internationally (go anywhere in the world...2 people have a smartphone? Great, this system works). Give people the ability to save, invest and help them along that way and give them more power about their money.

Also the ability to get the entire system to work electronically offline.

So we'd need advancements in not just technology (tbh, the tech would be the easy bit), but laws and ideas/conceptions people have with banks/monitory systems in general.

This is a worthwhile talk, albeit a bit too long. In this talk RH provides a framework to think about libraries, how they change over time and how we should be communicating those changes. He proposes a way forward in which the changes are communicated in a way that can be dealt with programmatically, a much better framework than versioning schemes (semver gets a beating in this talk!).
Instead, you need to ask your customer about what they are doing in areas around your software. Not "What would you like in a new car?" but "What have you been doing in your car?" and "How much maintenance do you have to do?" and "What's the worst thing about the stuff you do in the car?"

Then maybe you can find out that the brakes make a squealing sound because they are mis-adjusted and are wearing out the pads too early.
Build the Personal Food Computer v2.0 – OpenAg
I used to work for a company which wrote & sold telco switch management software. Mostly is was for automatically calculating the Least Cost Route, given a list of carrier price sheets and rates for prefix bands.

We had a few local clients with slightly complicated setups, so we got to implement some matching logic for Call Data Records. Their local end had three switches attached to external trunks (to other carriers) and trunked to each other, and a few digi-boxes which voiped to (say) Afghanistan (telcos always use Afghanistan for examples, since it's the first country in the price sheet).

They would list a cheap per-minute price to +93, accept incoming calls & terminate them at the digi-box (closing the CDR & generating a revenue event). The remote digi-box would then start a new outbound call (and CDR) from their partner's facility and (hopefully) get to a subscriber line without going through too many carriers.

The trick is (and we never asked or found out) is that most of the time the remote digi-box is actually a carousel of SIM cards with unlimited local calls. The carousel is used to automatically distribute the calls over the SIMs to impede fraud detection by the mobile carrier.

These setups are pretty common & are called grey routes.
Amazing! That is the true essence of customer development.

Here's a guide from one of the online glasses sellers:

http://www.zennioptical.com/measuring-pd-infographic

They sent me a free PD ruler (it has a slit in the middle so you can see your pupils and a notch in the middle to center it on your nose) with my glasses, but I just used a standard ruler the first time I measured, and got the same measurement when my glasses arrived and I used their ruler. I was off by 1 mm in one eye when I compared to my eye doctor's measurements. For my prescription, that's not very significant, but it might be for a stronger prescription.

You can buy a PD ruler for a dollar or two from eBay if you don't want to use a standard ruler.
Because we haven't gotten an energy positive reaction and because the reaction efficiency actually goes down the longer it's going because of how the magnetic flux works in these types of reactors.

There is a huge doubt that this type of fusion can be energy positive at small scales, which is why other types of fusion are being investigated primary aneutronic and ICF based ones.

Aneutronic is pretty interesting because it produces almost no radiation that is directly harmful to living organisms, and ICF (almost has to be at this time) can be scaled down to very small scales, even molecular levels.

Thermonuclear fusion on the other hand isn't a given, it's just the most studied form because it's piss easy to trigger you can build a thermonuclear reactor in your home and produce neutrons which means that fusion is going on, but there is a lot of doubt if it can be scaled to a controlled and energy positive reaction.

The only forms we know of that work is a star which is effectively powered by the force of gravity so it's not necessarily an energy positive reaction in the classical sense or an H-Bomb which requires an energy source that is a not an especially small nuclear fission bomb.

If I would have to make a bet It would be that Beam/ICF fusion and possibly aneutronic fusion when we'll have better hold over nanotechnology will be the energy sources of the future I'm actually somewhat skeptical that thermonuclear fusion will ever become an energy source in the future, even if we figure out that it can be energy positive under controllable circumstances.

Based on my understanding of the purpose of the Individual Mandate is that it's less that the well employed are subsidizing the under/unemployed, and more that the healthy are subsidizing the unhealthy.

With everyone left to their own devices, the elderly/unhealthy are strongly incentivized to have insurance, and the young and healthy might reasonably conclude that their best bet is to not pay for insurance, that results in higher average premiums.

Fake information has always been available, in fact it may have been the only information available at the time.

What is interesting is all of the new information and our ability to process it as much as we want.
For what it's worth, the file:///foo/bar url means:

1. an empty hostname
2. path = 'foo/bar'

In the file:// url an empty hostname implies 'localhost'. The file:// is, as far as I know, unique in this regard.

When parsing URI's generically, and you encounter a URI like:

scheme:foo/bar

The meaning of 'foo/bar' is also a path. There's many URI schemes like this, such as mailto: and urn:.

So given that, file:foo/bar should probably throw an error, but if not, it should be canonicalized into file:///foo/bar (triple slash), because file://foo/bar refers to the 'bar' file on the 'foo' host, and file:///foo/bar refers to /foo/bar on localhost.

It certainly is unhealthy for an 18 y/o to consume alcohol, and your "no more unhealthy than a 21 y/o" comment doesn't change that. Alcohol causes stomach cancer (really sucks), liver cancer (that sucks too), mouth and throat cancer (totally sucks), breast cancer (also sucks). Alcohol deforms the unborn. Alcohol indirectly causes car crashes, pregnancy, STDs, drowning, and all sorts of criminal charges. If homeschooled students disapprove, good!

The equal LSD availability, combined with reduced alcohol availability, suggests that "turn around and have a beer" isn't happening in these homes. LSD use is rare everywhere, but alcohol is only rare in the homeschooling homes.

I agree with most of these, but why not JS? (would TS or Swift be more along your lines?)

People want layer 2 connectivity between independent networks for a bunch of different reasons. Look into what's driving VXLAN adoption, for example.
I agree that mid-lower-range shops are a racket: however, don't discount the luxury and privilege of high-end options of dedicated professionals. My glasses cost in total almost $1000. I wear them almost every waking moment, they are exceptional designer hand-made frames from France with Zeiss lenses and Japanese transition technology, and the optometrist is top-of-the-line who also does an eye cancer check each year. They are a beautiful piece of art that I chose, because I find contact lenses troublesome and I enjoy taking my glasses off to both relax and for the pleasure of having a blurred world around me (other short-sighted users will understand this pleasure). When I was a student, I wore $25 government-sponsored glasses. I'm so pleased there are options for both. I'm so glad there are $1 glasses for those who need them and can avoid overpaying for low quality.
I have a full automatic at home. Another one for the office would cost me about $1000. I got the one I have used. It takes up a lot of space. The nespresso was about $70 and is tiny. I recycle the pods.
Never thought about this architecture from an energy savings perspective but it's actually probably really good. Another thing is USB over ethernet is a now a thing in the Linux kernel... so even with pluggable hardware this could make perfect sense. Interesting idea.
First off, the southwest states are anything but "big ugly". The wall isn't an endgame solution it's part of a larger shift in overall policy to actually enforce our existing immigration laws which will also include booting people who have overstayed their visa. We should also look to revamp our immigration process to allow legal immigrants in faster (10 years is way too long) and incentivize those who will ADD to America to come here. I agree the wall is in some ways symbolic but it is functional as well. Google secured fence act as HRC was also on board with it.
Exactly. Without all explaining all of this, the rest of the documentation is completely worthless.

> To quote a member of the React core team at Facebook:

So fking what? You want me to read the source to try to decypher why I would want to use your new immature library? Another question is 'who is the target audience?'. It appears to be current react developers. However, I see no compelling reason why a react developer would want to switch. There are some cool benchmark numbers and file size stats, but so what? That's not affecting me.

The only thing that pops out as maybe being the "killer" feature is the isomorphic rendering. But I see no examples of this and have no idea how much of a pain it is to set up. The README for it is utterly worthless https://www.npmjs.com/package/inferno-server.

In summary, all I want to know is: Why as a current web developer who is comfortable with my relatively mature stack and ecosystem around it would I even consider your immature, non-battle tested project?
I can see this being the one case where it's likely to make sense.

The low-mileage used car owners purchased at a higher price or buyers will use worse financing options. The dealership has an incentive to get the old models out, and the financial backing to cut interest, resulting in their being able to sell new cars for less than a low-mileage used model.
Then, just like television is not responsible for TV addicts, Facebook may not be responsible for the susceptibility of people to believe and share fake news.
This particular attack is done entirely in the rustc frontend, so adding another way to build the backend shouldn't matter? One requires a new implementation of the frontend to apply diversity mitigations.

> This can result in double vision, chromatic anomalies, headaches, and worse.

I can attest to this. My astigmatism is pretty severe, and the lenses are useless if any measurements are even slightly incorrect.

Usually when I get new lenses I end up sending them back at least once for one defect or another. Sometimes this is the frame tech's fault, but I've also seen quality issues from the lens factory.
Looks like they are missing gloze and flush, infrared colors from David Zindell's book Neverness. Adding them to the page now.
Why the hell is this being downvoted?
Seems to be like the best way to mitigate this would be to write a rust interpreter in assembly and use that to compile the compiler.
The zenni website shows the frame width (and other dimensions) in millimeters for each pair of glasses. I've ordered over a dozen of pairs over the last 3 years and the measurements are accurate.

Measure the width of your current pair that you like. You're may be 150mm+ in width and zenni has sizes even bigger than that.
> Your summarization of Marxism as an appeal to jealousy is a reductionist joke.

It's common sense. At best, people will support a system where wealth is distributed without regard to individual productivity if they think that they will get more out of it than they put in.

At worst, it's crab mentality: https://fee.org/articles/crabs-and-communists-how-envy-polit...

I'm no Marxist scholar but looking at Marxism's core ideals, particularly the idea of a "dictatorship of the proletariat," I can see that attempts to implement them will always result in atrocity.

Even Marx admitted that his new society would be born in blood and terror.

"The purposeless massacres perpetrated since the June and October events, the tedious offering of sacrifices since February and March, the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror."

I've had great experiences ordering glasses from goggles4u.

I'm not sure if they still do it, but the outside of every package I received from them had a cloth wrapper that was sealed with wax, pretty much identical to this one: https://eyeglassretailerreviews.com/reviews/goggles4u_nov200...

Not the packaging matters all that much, but it was a fun little novelty, at least.
Speaking of Neal Postman:

I first got on the Internet in 1993.

In the last 23 years, I've seen the Internet evolve from primarily a text based interface, which encouraged long form writing, and line-by-line-dissection of long form writing, to a medium that is primarily pictorial, and increasingly video based, where close reading of long form stuff is discouraged by code and design.

Postman himself declined even to look at the web in 1999, when I started reading his books, and he passed away in 2004. In 1999, I thought the Internet was part of the solution to the problem he was writing about. Today, the Internet is a bigger problem than television and the movies.

And the shift towards pictorial communication is rapidly approaching levels where it's a threat to civilization. Fark and Failblog are good amusements, but even the briefest look at 4chan will show you, we're in deep shit.

The thing is, the Internet isn't just the Internet.

Twitter can be criticized not for how well or how badly the company polices its users, but also in a medium-is-the-message way. Twitter is a cesspool of hate because the 140 character limit makes it useless for more than playground name calling.

Facebook is part of the problem not just because of Facebook's policies but because it's an interface that pushes blogging into microblogging.

We're going from a literate society to one that uses digital technology to get by on being sub-literate. This is double plus ungood.
> the damage is more severe than it would be if it simply crashed.

I think I see your point, but you are wrong when you write "simply". Crashing in case of UB is not simple! Actually, ensuring any type of behavior in case of UB is not simple! It requires huge lots of runtime checks, thus you obtain a ridden executable as output. If you want your program to be cuddled in a safe baby box (which is the right thing to want in several cases), then go for an interpreted language, but please let "gcc -O3 -march=..." be what it is: a masterwork coated with magic.
This stuff must already exist for humans.
