I completed my PhD this year after 3 years 4 months. In most European universities, 3-4 years is the norm, and you usually only have funding for that long anyway.

Edit: we had one kid before starting the PhD and then another one half way through. Family and PhD is not unmixable. In fact, having a hard limit of 8 hours at the office per day surely helped me be more effective (I was responsible for dropping off and picking up from kindergarten every day).
Hah, this is getting interesting. Would be more fun doing this over a beer, but…

> Let's assume a reasonable 8mbit connection and 50ms RTT.

This is a huge assumption; you’ll be neglecting almost all of your mobile users there. But! Optimise for your use-case, of course.

If you’re self hosting your fonts I would leave them external, `preload` them, and use the preferred `font-display` mechanism to deal with (or elimiante) FOUT and/or FOIT. That’s your extra connections taken care of, and we’ve moved fonts back off of the critical path :)

I think what we’ve both hit upon here is the fact that browsers need to decide on a standard way of handling FOUT/FOIT. Leaving pages blank for up to 3s (or in Safari’s case, indefinitely) would completely eliminate the need to try and circumvent it by base64 inlining :(
A monthly subscription service for a fee of $5 - $10 where every month I get a new kind of quirky instrument (shaker, wind, wood block and stick, whistle, triangle, or other noise maker) as a surprise by mail.

The point of the service in the music industry is to inspire new sounds and the device can either be kept or given away to somebody without a lot of second thought. Getting stuck is a big problem. Also in music it's important to collaborate and giving gifts is a good way to make connections and impressions.

These interfaces aren't broken gratuitously. They change to accommodate new features or to allow for better code reuse within the kernel. In the long term it's only a significant maintenance burden compared to letting the driver stagnate and never gain new functionality or optimization after initial release. Manufacturers might prefer that development model since it helps sell more chips of the next generation, but it's really not what should be used as the baseline.
Title should be changed to "Student accidentally invents phone battery capable of 200k recharges"

The battery will neither power a phone for 400 years, nor retain a charge for 400 years. (It's especially probable to interpret this latter one, since it's the only claim for which "400 years" is the right unit of measure.)

---

PS. Specifying "phone" is a weird application. By their math, even if you had your phone for a decade, you'd only recharge it 5k times.
I find this very disturbing. Verizon is refusing to defuse explosive phones on their network because they would rather have you use a dangerous cellphone than not have a cellphone at all.

It's like a McDonald's serving you potentially contaminated food because they don't want you to starve, despite the risk of it, idk, exploding?
Hybrid Types in TypeScript
Asking for a phone number seems pretty valid.

The number of times people forget their password, or accidentally type it into a phishing site, or re-use passwords across different websites where one of them (e.g. Yahoo) get breached....

Without a recovery phone number, these people are hosed - and they've lost data, photos, contacts, email, their entire digital life etc. That's a pretty poor user experience. So most people are like - yeah, OK, that sounds reasonable, let me put a phone number I can access just in case somebody hacks my account.

The entire Real-Estate industry is ripe for disruption. Exactly why are we paying 6% to "agents"? What are "agents" actually doing? 10+ years ago the need for "Real Estate Agents" was there as information was not readily accessible. Things like "what kind of area is this property in", "what are schools like" "what are prospects for this area 5 years down the road" and so on. All this information (and MUCH more) is currently readily available online. I have purchased and sold 4 homes in the last 6 years and agent I have worked with has made many tens of thousands of dollars and I can tell you with utmost precision that she hasn't spend more than 10 hours total. My wife and I scouted locations, went to open houses, did research online for things that are important to us and finally called the agent and said "we want to make an offer." Other than that the only other time we called is for her to let us into a home if there was no open house soon.

10+ years ago we had other "agents" that made a lot of money, e.g. "Travel Agent" in Travel&Leisure industry. Then internet came along and now we have 1,000's of websites that have replaced what Travel Agents used to do...

For Real-Estate I think MLS is just a start a small piece of the puzzle, someone very smart is going to disrupt the whole industry and make many billions of dollars.
We just built something like this for the health market. Users can auto-sigin to websites with one of their identities or set it to ask for each visit. Here is a lil demo I made that uses Craiglist as an example: http://tricorder.org/cl
When the user goes to your website, say wellness.com/newcustomer, there are javascript APIs to get at your standard data, that brings up a perm dialog and if the user accepts, the data is sent to the website. Send me an email (profile) if you want to talk biz, tho was planning to open source it. Auth is very solid, but its currently android only.
That's true, but removing the profit motive of the facility removes one major incentive for coordinated, large scale corruption like this. Other incentives (like production-based compensation being gamed by unscrupulous individuals) will have to be dealt with in other ways.
Non-registered users lacking some functionality due to the lack of attention is not the problem. The problem is companies conciously making it hard for non-registered users to access the service. Deploying various annoying partial screen blockers is not the lack of attention -- it is the opposite.

Early in my PhD I went to a big NSF event with a bunch of young researchers, so senior students and junior faculty. This NSF event did a "speed dating" event (quickly re-named at the last minute to "rapid fire cross collaboration" because of the sexist connotations of calling something "speed dating," natch) and when talking with other researchers about how I didn't feel like I belonged, either at this event or in research in general, one said "well, belong or not, what matters is that you are here now."

You're there now.
This is me too. Also, treble-heavy noises like squeaks drive me insane.
There is a lot more to hearing than just your ear. Signals have to be processed by the brain and that's often where the problem is. A good example are children with sensory integration problems: a child will often go through phases when it will have trouble "hearing", but the actual problem will be with processing. You then have to repeat things several times so that the child "hears" you, but at the same time the child will have no problem with hearing quiet sounds. Kids are especially interesting because as they grow (and with therapy) you can observe as these things change over time.

"That’s why [Feynman] had a hard time communicating"

This is surprising! I always thought old Feynman was a great communicator, but then again, the Feynman he's talking about is a young, determined Feynman, not an old, passive Feynman...

"...we didn’t have anything to learn from [Einstein] and he probably felt the same way about us."

Also, a bit surprising.

"Cooper had this idea that superconductivity had something to do with pairs of electrons and Oppenheimer said that was total rubbish."

Just, wow.

"Biology is moving very fast and so the same kind of people who became physicists in those days now tend to become biologists."

"First of all, it helps to be ignorant. The time when I did my best work was when I was most ignorant. Knowing too much is a great handicap."

This article is fucking dope and you should read it. Thanks for posting this, dude.
That's a different problem set all together actually.

But yea, there are a lot of us working on that.
This is a very "un-Apple" approach, I'd be surprised to see a configuration like that. Instead I'd only see the potential for Apple to switch the macbook line to a specially designed ARM chip. They wouldn't say it's to make it cheaper to manufacture, instead they'd claim "now that we control the entire hardware stack we can do things we couldn't do before". They'll claim their special ARM chip gives almost 2x battery life, better security, etc. And since most Pro's aren't using macbooks there'd be less fear of incompatible pro software- as long as you have the iLife suite, ms office suite, adobe suite and browser running you'll satisfy 95% of macbook users. Apple would then use this transition to pressure Intel into much lower prices for pro-range cpu's or at least pressure them to do things with their cpu's that a next-gen ARM chip couldn't.

I don't see Apple blurring the lines of mobile/desktop UX simply because the ARM chip now enables the opportunity but I do see them moving their macbook line to ARM for cost reduction and increased leverage over Intel.
Actually Japan was mandated large amounts of German New Guinea by the Treaty of Versailles and the South Pacific Mandate; Palau, almost all of Micronesia, and parts of Papua New Guinea. Other parts of German New Guinea were ceded to Australia, New Zealand, the US, and Britain. France of course kept their South Pacific colonies.
I wonder if you are hearing a "beat" tone (a third tone which is heard when two tones of different frequency are played. Playing tones at 500 and 600 Hz will also cause a tone at 100 Hz to be heard). This is how 3D positional audio systems work -- they beam two ultrasonic tones, and the difference tone appears to emanate from where the ultrasonic beams intersect.

Sending 50kHz vibrations into the earn should interact with a 49kHz tone to cause the listener to hear a 1kHz tone.

(This is all from an acoustics course I took over a decade ago, so take it with a grain of salt!)
> SFP costs $22

Who and where are you buying SFP+ for $22? Most of them are above $200 for 10GbE.
The article mentioned testing on macOs and Linux implementations. I was curious and I tried the author's demo program on Windows Subsystem for Linux; it performs quite well, running almost instantly on a low-end Surface 3.

Its definitely interesting to see these very low-level implementation details bubble up to the surface from time to time.

A ticketing system that doesn't sux (I like RequestTracker, but it shows its age). Top players are ridiculously overpriced.

My management style is like this: every task/request is numbered, placed in a queue and assigned to a professional.

What I expect from my ticketing system:

- every manager should be able to assign tasks to someone and set the order they must be executed. He needs know what his team is doing and when they finish each task.
- every professional should know what to do and what are the priorities.
- everything is numbered and linked, all communication recorded.

Everything should be well integrated with email (please, don't send me a notification email about an answer and an url, send me the f* answer). If I answer the email, everything goes into the system, I should be able to send commands to the system by email (for example, add a keyword in order to make it a comment instead of answering).
Agree, especially since early mobile browsers had exactly that feature. Is it patent-encumbered or what is the problem?

As the algorithm is from 2011, so now 5 years old, about something trendy (scalable web services), I'm wondering

1. has it been implemented in some popular opensource library/framework/service ?
2. if not why ? because it's not as practical as it seems, there's something more efficient exists now ?
I get upvoted for being an engineer, but downvoted for pointing out an actual inaccuracy. Go figure.

If they just steal your computer, they'll most likely still be logged in to many services already. If there's no password at login, they can already request a password change and a confirmation email from any other site.

The thing is (and he even references Lyotard at one point) this stuff is all pretty concretely addressed in postmodern phenomenology and semiotics etc. I'm not sure what the unique addition is quite yet, but I suppose even if this is just a reconstitution of postmodernism for techies it would be worth it too :P
Oculus Touch Review

No, they aren't the same. I explicitly said that in the comment you're replying to. Two ideas can be harmonious or conflicting without being the same.

For example, the ideas "water is red" and "the color red exists" are not the same at all — most people believe the second one is true but not the first, and you could believe both are false without any contradiction. However, believing in the first one makes it impossible to self-consistently believe in the second.

Belief systems are more complex and subtle than simple claims like that, but they can still harmonize or conflict. I think the line of thought here is something like this:

Moral relativism is self-determination in the moral realm. Self-determination is a cornerstone of individualism. Therefore, individualism without moral relativism is somewhat compromised.
Yes. I'd say early Douglas Adams is comparably funny, although ironically PG Wodehouse probably requires less cultural knowledge now.

>How Font Awesome 5 Became Kickstarter’s Most Funded Software Project

I checked their kickstarter, however.

Pillars of Eternity, most assuredly software, was a kickstarter I backed. Their campaign page reads to this day:

Why make up such a shitty lie? Does it matter if you have the longest John in the pub? Is this something USA specific down the American Dream/Meritocracy/Competitiveness axis? I find most European projects to be more modest about these things.

No hate please! None intended here. It just feels weird to me.
Some of the earliest work that Kahneman and Taversky (think behavioral economics or biases) stumbled upon that told them the brain was filtering/processing unconsciously and incorrectly was hearing focus. Different people would be able to recall strings of numbers played into each ear at varying levels of ability. The better you were at picking up more input streams, the better a bus driver, fighter pilot, or tank captain you would be.
This scientific programmer (python/R/C) thanks you for an amazing resource. I have been looking to augment my Python knowledge with a new, faster scripting language. Lua(jit) was my first choice, but JS is so fast these days, and is so strong on visualization, that it is now supplanting Lua for me as first choice. But the JS ecosystem is so vast, so full of "offshoot dialects" (jquery, coffeescript, ES6, Typescript, not to mention all the frameworks) that it is quite daunting for a beginner. This therefore is exactly what I was looking for. You've just spoken for my Christmas break!
No, they're just putting out enough light to override the background, then showing dimmer areas for black

Right, that's how all existing HMD systems work - but generally not with the whole FOV re-rendered so it's not so cut and dry.

Note that such a system doesn't give you black ever. It gives you muddy [insert lens color on the grey spectrum].

The case you describe ends up with what is practically an opaque lens that is replicating the environment that is not virtual. So you might as well just use VR with camera pass through at that point.

That latency tip is so naive.... it is assuming that performance profiles are randomly distributed. In the real world, this simply isn't the case.

The end of the article has an edit saying how time-correlated events would throw off the math, but it also would be thrown off by the real-world case that all CLIENTs are not created equal, either. If there is a slow connection between a client and a server, their requests will be served slower.
At least one of his friends peddled hard drugs, but I don't know where the drugs came from. And it seemed to be more than mere curiosity. I could sense their desire for that lifestyle, and they were clearly getting social cues from those videos. The way they used words, they way they dressed, etc.

To my knowledge, it was fortunately "just a phase" and they're now more or less normal, functioning suburbanites with mediocre desk jobs.

Great questions. I worked on similar problems in the weather/ag space for a few years, trying to minimize the time between data was acquired and data is ready to inform a decision.

We threw every rule out the window in the name of performance _when fetching raw data from external sources_. So we had weather station networks, NOAA forecast runs and NASA satellite data in a workable schema in our shop way faster than average. Mix of C, PowerShell, Perl, and the nonstandard parts of T-SQL, highly parallelized, tricky but fast.

After the "workable schema" was established, the rules came back and we acted more responsibly. Smart instead of clever.

Ran this stuff all day long, getting every piece of data asap. Things that can only be calculated with a full day of data we poked and prodded the meteorologists to express in "partial aggregates", which to me were just like the map steps before an EOD reduce.

Took a lot of mutual understanding and iterating but worth it in the end. When the ultimate data source (satellite or radar site for us) posted its last hour of data, we were 95% done with the day's computation work. We do our last step, publish our numbers, and bam, Our ag clients have this stuff a day earlier than they are used to.
Oh, so you mean like a big box that could fit XYZ items inside it and capture something like 10,000 per day? I mean, to me it's kind of hard to believe nobody's tried making a "conveyor belt" like process inside a closed system (a shipping container?) with the right optics and resolution to pull it off. Fidelity plus speed plus software consistency. Considering what I saw the gaming industry doing with static models about 10 years ago I kind of thought it'd be a lot further along now, but I guess not. Sounds like a good project for a few Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute grads that otherwise would've been destined for Kodak.

Safe to assume that it's intentionally misleading.
I highly recommend buying the "large print" version, it's the size of most textbooks.

The smaller version is nice for reading while on the go/during a commute but not as nice for when you want to have it on your desk as a reference while working through problems (which you'll be doing a lot with this book). With the small version I have to find things to weigh down both sides just to keep it open on my desk so I can glance at it.
At the bottom it says "Sign up to our sweepstake above and be drawn once a month for a free premium Viral Waiting List". Does this mean that someone extremely lucky could actually win both widgets?
I've read/skimmed a ways in. I'd say your judgement of it was sound. There's been a lot of, "wait, you know this is a whole thing, right? [reads a little farther] Huh, guess not." More than you might expect from the introduction, in fact—it keeps stumbling against the edges of those sorts of well-explored topics across a surprisingly broad range.

Who are you referring to as free market ideologues? Many purport to be.

An anarco-capitalist (an anti-rand) libertarian flavor) rejects involuntary commitment as a matter of dogma. So these institutions cannot exist, even if they are following the "law".

Furthermore it is the state who has monopoly over violence that legitimizes this behavior (the history of physiology, involuntary commitment, and state violence is rich and fascinating).

Libertarians see this as violence over an individual. Not being the initiator of the violence, the victims have a full moral right to use violent means to defend themselves, up to and including deadly force.

Right or wrong, these "free market extremists" have a more nuanced position than "the market will sort it out"
