What I like in the absence of research is doing one's own measurements and then building what you learn into your own framework. Over time you can then make the framework more elegant and find the best leverage points.

This is far better IMO than googling somebody else's list. It is personalized to you and is more fun that way, too.

Section 508 is specifically for U.S. government work and rather outdated. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are much more useful [0] and if you meet all the success criteria for WCAG level AA, you should also meet Section 508 requirements (there may be one or two overly prescriptive details in 508 that may require tweaking to get to 100%).

How I Bypassed Apple's Most Secure iCloud Activation Lock

I don't think universe as a simulation is epistemologically equivalent to solipsism or this "Last Thursdayism" thing (love the name, by the way).

Solipsism is meaningless. What it means to say that there is nothing outside of your mind? Surely you can't predict or control what is going to happen to your experience, so how can you say that everything is "inside" your mind? what that even means? And if you are a solipsist and wanted to predict what is going to happen next, what you should be doing?

You should start to associate causation to patterns in your experience, and observe carefully that patterns. Those patterns behaviour are not decided by you, so, by definition, they are outside your mind.

"Last Thursdayism" have the same problem that all the religions: OK, maybe it's true, but.. why do you choose Thursday, why not Monday? why not one minute ago? It's totally arbitrary.

Simulation argument has serious experimental issues, but I would not discard it yet. Maybe we can think of something.
As some feedback on the site's wording. It wasn't immediately clear to me that this was a javascript library that ported Clojures immutable API's. I initially thought it was support in Clojure for Javascript data structures.

I had to see the code samples before I realized.
I had one for Zork 1 that used invisible ink. It came with a marker which would reveal the text so if you were really stuck you could look up the one question you wanted answered to see what to do without risking seeing other answers.
I read GP's last paragraph as distinguishing between the use of "disabled people" vs. "people with disabilities," rather than between the use of "disabled" (or words with the same root) vs. other words.

My company did some work for an organization that supported people with disabilities in the workforce. The client stressed the importance of the distinction between using "people with disabilities" as opposed to "disabled people," with the former being much preferred because - due to its structure - it puts the focus (i.e. the first word) on "people" rather than "disabled/disability".
absolutely, this election showed there is a huge gap between the common people and the elite in their beliefs and why Im still trying to understand myself.
Do you think it's possible that your prior policy was one of the garbage plans that got outlawed by ACA? Those are the ones that didn't survive the "you can keep it" claims. Those were plans with uselessly low annual or lifetime limits, too much small print, etc.
The article's a bit scattered but its central theme seems to be the Problem of Time.

There's a wikipedia article on that, of course, and it's not so bad.

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

The structure of the the paragraph you quoted and the one following it is similar to the first two long paragraphs under the "Proposed solutions to the problem of time" section of the wikipedia article.

There is a bit more here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_quantum_gravity#The_...

and a technical overview in the first section of https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.2157

I wrote "seems", because I found it hard to focus on an article whose second paragraph is a grotesque of General Relativity and in subsequent paragraphs brings in a not especially clearly related set of links to the author's previous articles on the recent Verlinde paper on emergent gravity and the amplituhedron, among others. :-(
Regardless of what I think of prop 13, this article is not mathematically sound. In a non-hyper-constrained market (consider the Central Valley for example), prop 13 also helps hold down rents; the cost of owning a rental property does not go up due to property tax rise. Thus if there is competition for renters, prices stabilize. As taxes are part of the op ex (along with fixing the roof etc), renters pay them -- they are just built into the rent.

The reason this doesn't apply to a place like SF is that the tax assessment is in the noise: a severe shortage of places raises the price. If the tax assessment were adjusted normally, rents would go UP.

I benefit from Prop 13 in multiple ways: not only has my property tax been largely fixed, but I live in a neighborhood of people who've mostly lived in their homes for decades. It makes for a nice mix of ages from 20s to 70s. Those on a fixed income would have been forced out, and while it's nice to have new neighbors move in the stability is valuable to me as a QoL issue.

(Prop 13 has screwed up things like school funding and the like as well -- I'm quite aware of its problems. This screed simply doesn't get into them).
Rails is the "kitchen sink" of web development, and promise you RAD. But is has become less relevant in the era of "everything is an API".
Got it, thanks!

The only thing it contradicts was already contradicted by Quantum theories which were some of the more classical Newton and Einstein's theories.

So this is exciting 'only' because it is a larger version of a man made in lab phenomenon, and seen occurring naturally.

Again, thanks
This exactly. This was my first clue that this person probably wasn't from the UK.

You're totally right, the word handicapped is definitely the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the name and it wasn't a nice association. But if they are not aiming at the UK market then there probably isn't a reason to change it, but if operating inside the UK then I think the name might be a real problem.

It just makes me think of "HandiCapable" which is a horrible term.

To be clear, I don't think the OP is trying to be offensive but inside the UK I think you might this kind of feedback quite a lot.
So we do it in good faith because all parties are trying to destroy the integrity of the democratic process, and that is not a good thing. We need to show good faith measures to restore the percieved decline of election integrity.

A Tester's Consistency Checklist
It's nostalgia. I have a great fondness for Zork because it was one of the few games my friends and I had on our Apples and Commodores in elementary school, but one thing this podcast really captures is that much of the game isn't logical at all. I remember picking up cheat books and getting outright angry at some of the solutions to the puzzles, like "touch mirror with crystal skull." Really??? How the hell was I supposed to think to do that???

So no, I don't recommend playing Zork, but I do recommend reading the wikipedia and other articles about it so you can know the history, but there many great modern text-adventure games out there (or you might even try writing your own) for enjoying the medium.
...but it also says the disability lies with that person, and this is likely to be rejected by people who prefer the social model.

When people can't read a website it's tempting to tell them to ctrl + or install user CSS. But better is to just design the site in ways that don't exclude large numbers of the population, let alone people with visual impairment. It's not that person's eyesight that excludes them, it's the designer's poor choice of font size and colour that excludes them.

There are problems with this model, but it's still mostly useful.
> Good CS expert says: Most firms that think they want advanced AI/ML really just need linear regression on cleaned-up data.

Cleaning up data is very expensive. And without that, the analysis is good for nothing. AI helps provide good analysis without having to cleaning up data manually. I don't see how that is going away.

The trick to understand frequentist approach here is, it doesn't matter what number the tanks have other than the one with max number. 1 2 3 60 is same as 57 58 59 60 ( like it doesn't change the probability to win lottery with ticket 000001 or 639465 )

So the knowledge is only you have 4 tanks with max ID=60.
I've met Mike Pall in person. I've worked with him some since I helped facilitate a sponsorship from Google (https://opensource.googleblog.com/2010/01/love-for-luajit.ht...). A lot of his work on LuaJIT has been supported by various sponsorships (see: https://luajit.org/sponsors.html). This gives him a lot of freedom to work the way he wants to, instead of working as part of a larger organization.

Also note that the sponsorship page says that Mike is currently working on "unrelated projects", so apparently things besides LuaJIT are keeping him busy now.
Cowrie SSH/Telnet Honeypot
Turns out to be mainly a complaint about many book lists not containing enough female authors.

Unfortunately the alternative "best books by women" list is presented in a way that doesn't really makes me want to read those books. Can anybody recommend some of them?

Given that I find it generally difficult to find books worth reading, I couldn't care less about the gender of the author. But if there are hidden gems in that list of female authors, why not.
Google Analytics with no code
I'm not sure why someone downvoted you but I read a book, on psychology I think, and the author argued that one mistake people make is trying to stop a bad habit by shear force of will. Just applying "don't do X" never works. You have to consciously and intentionally replace bad habits with good ones (e.g. "don't do X, do Y instead") or the mind will just fall back into its old programming. With repetition it soon becomes "do Y" and X is gone.
3D printing is very much like coding, promising a revolution for those with the mindset to work with it. My wife, a coder by profession, is extremely active in the 3D printing community, and her ability to research and stick to problems is why she is successful at it. This is not an accessible hobby, as is evidenced by so many of my friends who own 3D printers that started gathering dust the moment they learned it's not simply plug-and-play. You have to figure out your infill settings, watch your inclines, your print-speeds at various points in your prints, know what temperatures work well with what materials, know how to replace the parts that go bad every few hundred hours of printing, etc, etc, etc. It doesn't help that you will sometimes be hours into a print before you realize you screwed something up.

The 3D printing community, like some coding communities, are very supportive and incredibly welcoming to beginners, but the skills we use in coding, the ability to research, experiment, and stick through extremely frustrating problems, are skills most people don't ever really learn. Our public education system is actively trying to address this with the much-misunderstood Common Core standards, but until such a mindset becomes more prevalent in our culture, things like coding and 3D printing will only continue to grow slowly in popularity.

In the meantime, nerds should see 3D printing as a still-uncharted territory for innovation and opportunity.

I was responding specifically to what you quoted, and didn't commit to memory your parent's comment - which I guess has now removed the mention of hallucinogens. (I do remember seeing "LSD" when skim-reading, so not questioning your assertion that it was mentioned.)

As to specifically experimenting with hallucinogens: there's growing evidence that they can be helpful in treating depression, from anecdotes to studies - most recently, a couple of days ago: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/dec/01/magic-mushro...

Should people be recommended to try these sorts of drugs without proper guidance and likely supervision? Generally I'd say no. But if they can provide people with the help they need, and the legal system doesn't allow for a formal way of using them, I do support people discussing their use, ideally with disclaimers about potential risks and how to use as safely as possible.

i would say that this is one of the main advantages of ML. You can even use it to process unstructured data.
This article matches what I've been seeing anecdotally (especially at smaller tech firms and universities in the Midwest US).

I've been hearing more folks in research and industry express the importance of applying simpler techniques (like linear regression and decision trees) before reaching for the latest state-of-the-art approach.

CSP is supposed to protect the website when there is a xss in it as a defence in depth solution. So a CSP bypass is when, it fails to do so.
#1 - this is true for any site using CSP with javascript.
#3 - the site is not giving the ability to inject the script tag. It is just an xss vulnerability which should have been caught by CSP, but in this case it doesnt.

While amd64 is better in that it gives more registers for compilers to use, we rarely need to "move on". In fact many programs will work better (more efficient, faster) with 32bit pointers (as many programs would with 16bit integers instead of 32bit ones, where possible ofc). Realistically nobody codes for performance anymore so x86 or amd64 is not much difference (for math stuff, sse(1-4)/avx(1/2) don't care about amd64 vs x86).

Anyway, learning amd64 when knowing x86 is easy as they are mostly the same.
I want to do some more work on the network UI, and there's probably a bunch of bugs in there. I'm guessing a couple of months to half a year.
What's worked for me for running (2x/week), pushups (2x/week), pullups (2x/week), stretching (daily), going to bed by a certain time (daily), and other things:

* focusing on consistency: if you do any tiny amount of the thing (even if it's just one pushup), that totally counts. once you have the habit, you can build intensity as you please.

* specific deadlines: (e.g. run Tues/Fri by 1pm), since then I don't have a series of "I'm in the middle of something, I'll do it in a bit"'s that are kind of unpleasant and attention-consuming.

* It's kind of stupid, but I wrote a little app where I can press a button after I've done a habit -- if I don't press the button before the deadline, it sends a text to my brother. I don't wanna bug him, so for me, this helps make the deadline more "real". If I'm super busy or really don't feel like it, it's totally fine if I just do a tiny bit of the habit and then press the button-- but that rarely happens.

It's kinda nice to have all this running on autopilot; it's been working well for about a year, and it doesn't take any sort of willpower at this point. I find it especially useful for keeping my routine after something that would normally disrupt it, like travel.
What eitland said :)
Although I don't know for sure, I believe Borges' short story The Zahir [0] refers to Tipu in his usual convoluted way.

>In 1832, on the outskirts of Bhuj, Taylor heard the following uncommon expression used to signify madness or saintliness: “Haber visto al Tigre” (Verily he has looked on the tiger) He was told that the reference was to a magic tiger that was the perdition of all who saw it, even from a great distance, for they continued to think of it till the end of their days. Someone mentioned that one of those unfortunates had fled to Mysore, where he had painted the figure of the tiger in a palace.

>Years later, Taylor visited the prisons of that kingdom; in the jail at Nithur, the Governor showed him a cell on whose floor, walls and vaulted ceiling a Moslem fakir had designed (in fantastic colors, which time, rather than erasing, refined) of an infinite tiger. It was a tiger composed of many tigers, in the most dizzying of ways; it was crisscrossed with tigers, striped with tigers and included seas and Himalayas and armies that resembled other tigers.

The role of government should be a counterbalance to capitalism.

Capitalism allows people to self motivate to get everything done. It does not really need any helping. Human aspirations is enough.

Governments must protect the future resources our planet has. And do so in an even way which makes the playing field fair for companies.

It's an almost impossible task & I can start to understand why we don't detect any intelligent life anywhere in the universe. Life anywhere is probably similar to ours: took millions of years to develop, collected lots of stored energy underground, and all the organisms are naturally competitive making it impossible for modern life on the planet to co-exist.

Yes and it's explained in awesome book The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

You need a cue/craving -> response -> reward cycle

The reward should be slightly unpredictable to make the habit really addicting.

So best way to build (or deprogram) a habit: keep a log of how you feel before you do (or don't do) something you want to change. Become aware of your "cue" or craving. Begin to introduce a different response that comes with a reward.

For instance, if you don't feel great after leaving the gym you'll never make it an unconscious habit.

Interview with Berlin's anti Airbnb mayor
To understand Interactive Fiction, you have to travel back to the 70's when computers took up a large room, paper terminals ruled, and the primary programming language was COBOL.

In those days, there were no graphics. None. There was no animation. Apple and IBM had not created microcomputers yet. There was no Amiga or Commodore.

At this time, in the mid to late 70's, high school students were just getting access to paper terminals that "dialed in" over coupler modems. Taking a programming class was an elective and few did.

There also wasn't any D&D or role playing games. None of this existed.

So along comes these two free games on these school mainframes; Adventure and Dungeon (later split into three commercial Zork games).

They had the audacity of allowing you, the player, to type anything you wanted, and the computer would respond, at that time, very intelligently. By today's standards it may seem simple, but back then, it was the equivalent of playing Assassin's Creed today.

This seemingly "open world" gaming changed everything about computers. It inspired everything that came after, including video games and still is the foundation of much of the standard game play of today.

Now. Zork was old school "IF". It was hard, illogical at times, and on a fairness scale probably as high as it gets. But puzzles are puzzles. If you like easy puzzles or puzzles that give you a cheat sheet, then are you really being challenged or are you just looking for entertainment?

I prefer a challenge because that _is_ what entertains me.

So first realizing that the Thief in Zork will steal all your possessions (whether you drop them or not), then realizing you have to kill him, then realizing he's the only one that can open the egg, then realizing that he's really hard to kill in certain situations, then realizing you can use the DIAGNOSE command to warn you when you're about to die so you can run away and get better.

To me, that's not boring at all. That is essentially the same kind of challenging puzzle you'll find in any of today's video games.

It's just that the "graphics" are in your head. Not on a screen.
