I've started playing with Electron after I heard it on the Dot Net Rocks podcast. It is interesting and I like it for cross platform apps (already have an application in mind) but I've come across some issues. Mainly using React with Electron. I copy examples verbatim and it just won't render properly. It is incredibly frustrating and makes me want to just do .NET Core instead. Another downside is that it seems to create very large executables when using electron-render, which may not be a big deal but they are much larger than apps I've seen in the Windows store.
> You gave an example of a file that was "impossible" to download with Edge and I told you how to do it.

You told how to download something referenced by a hyperlink within the browser, a problem that I did not say I had.
We call that moving the goalposts. It's very frustrating and I wish you would stop.

> If you really need to type in the URL yourself, just type in into Notepad's open file dialog and save it from there.

I 100% agree that the solution to a web browser not being able to do the 2nd most important function of a web browser is to use a different program. Suggesting Notepad instead of a more capable browser seems a tad strange though.

> but how often does that happen, really?

Why bend so far backwards to try to poke holes in my problem? Are you responsible for the decision to disallow saving documents? If I don't use Edge does your favorite nephew lose a toe? If you want to use Edge that's fine. Knock yourself out. I won't, and I gave my reason why.
The one with theories was his grandfather. His father did not pay for the trip, which was a scientific expedition payed by the British Crown to survey coasts. Darwin was a minor employee in that ship, hired to collect botanical specimen. In other words, Beagle trip was not for Darwin, but he seized the opportunity and, after almost 20 years of work after that, published his book because someone else was close to publish and he needed to claim the discovery by publishing first.
Data Driven Decisions Using PyPI Download Statistics
> I don't think the title is that misleading, it is very much and significantly faster at storage operations than the Pixel, and those matter quite a bit in your daily usage.

All that was tested was fsync(), not "storage operations", and the Moto Z was faster at fsync() because it turns off fsync.

But it's not clear why this matters to anything. Lag is usually the result of file system reads being slow (paging in code/resources), not writes being slow, so how does fsync performance matter?
I think one needs to recognize that git was pioneering. And one of the problems with being pioneering is that some things way not work as expected, and be difficult to fix later. In other words pioneers make the mistakes those who follow get to learn from.

Git got a whole lot of the dvcs model in general right, particularly regarding the basic data structures. I am not a fan of some other things and there are a whole lot of things I am actually quite ambivalent about.

I recently moved my internal network to containers - forgot to move the controller and didn't even notice until weeks later.
Along the same route:
I run the UniFi Controller using the linuxserver.io docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/unifi/

My mistake, I tried using just a year in the search results and got older results, so I don't really know what the restrictions on the search are.

I wasn't able to bring up any pages from earlier than 12 months ago without putting in a specific year. I tried using Wikipedia pages that I have bookmarked in the past but no longer exist. I understood this to mean that I couldn't access older deletions, because of the following line on the page:

> Below is a list of recent deletions and restorations.

edit: Either way, it appears Rsync.net would be notable, as it appears on the Warrant Canary page as having the first commercial use of a Warrant Canary. That's the only current use I can find of Rsync.net. Internet cache pages are blocked where I work, so I can't find any more information.
Thought the same thing immediately -- but then again, why not just have a thing that flashes a few LED lines with text; no need for bendy tech.

My second reaction -- if i'm reading it right -- the solution was to remove inflexible glass, and replace it with flexible plastic?! What took so long? (i'm sure there's some cool technical challenges here, but this was one of those articles where i was expecting really cool solution, but instead got... "duh, plastic")
When I tried it (about 2 years ago), I found org a bit tedious for this particular use case: a personal wiki, made up of a bunch of small interlinked files, intended to be exportable to a plain HTML wiki-like set of pages. It's possible to do, but required fiddling and elisp writing on both the emacs side [1] and the export side, and I gave up somewhere in the export process. The export system has been reworked since then, though, so it's possible things are now better (would love to see a tutorial on how to do this if so).

Maybe it doesn't make sense to invest more than $1B for now. That's a lot of money, you don't want it to go it to waste. Heck I wouldn't even know where to start with a $1B grant to save the environment. I guess they are trying to use it for research and development and it makes sense not to just throw $100B at it for now. They'll start with smalls teams of smart people to try come up with great ideas, $1B may be enough for that. Great discovery in R&D usually happen by accident with smart people and not because of how much money you threw at it once you get to a big enough amount.
I bought a very inexpensive HP Stream 11 a few years ago to experiment with Windows 10, and I think Microsoft has generally improved the environment a lot. After a few months of experimenting with Windows 10, I put Ubuntu on this laptop, and I use it while traveling.

That said, I had to buy a new laptop last month and after almost getting a Surface Pro + keyboard, I ended up with a MacBook. I decided that I didn't want to change my workflow (writing, programming in Haskell, Java, various Lisps).

However, I will carefully evaluate Microsoft laptops (purchased from Microsoft: signature editions don't have crap-ware on them) in a few years when I need another laptop.
Working 72 hours a week doesn't leave much time for non-work relationships.
almost eliminating one of three macro nutrients probably led you to consume far fewer calories. the reduction is calories is what causes weight loss, this is not a magic effect of consuming less sugar.

your body will not lose weight without a reduction in caloric intake, that you successfully lost weight is proof that your new diet was a caloric deficit.

i'm glad you had such success, i just wanted to point out to other readers that there's nothing magic about low carb diets.
I did Keto for a month in September. It requires a good deal of self-control to stick to it (you'll quickly realize that only about 1% of the grocery store is food you can eat on Keto - resisting that temptation constantly is a trial) but it's not particularly expensive. You do have to be "in ketosis" to get the full benefits of Keto, but I've also found that just sticking to a low carb diet (under 100 carbs p/d) is a good start to ease into it. For Keto you will need to stay under 50...some people stay under 20.

I lost about 15 lbs during the process and my diet mostly consisted of salads with lots of chicken + cheese + high fat dressing. I was a vegan before I switched to Keto so eating my veggies was not difficult, but some of my friends struggled to keep a "healthy" diet during the process.

The most difficulty you will have doing Keto is your own self-control. Finding recipes & food to buy is easy.

It's nice that they spent a hour trying to recover your software. How much did they charge for that? Now see what happens when you encounter a similar issue with another manufacturer. I'm sure they'll have people dedicated to fixing it for free.

Why?

Most of the automation efforts revolve around "drive on the highway from point A to point B" scenario. If you have a container that's that simple, rail is much more cost-effective.

Trucking has fairly complex loading/unloading requirements, with scenarios such as "haul 8 vehicles, unload them at 8 different addresses", "haul a load of tomatoes and lettuce, do 5 drops at In'n'Out locations, 1 at Safeway, 1 at Albertsons" fairly common. There's an understandable lack of trust in the system, where the trucker is also responsible for ensuring the staff on the recipient side is not unloading (i.e. stealing) too much or helping themselves into another customer's load.

There's also "stop and wait your turn at weight stations", "stop to refuel" as well as "stop at random checkpoints when crossing state borders" scenarios that seem to require just way too much of human involvement.
You're right! Between plasmids and viruses, there's lots of ways that DNA can get moved around on the microscopic scale that you wouldn't expect when your intuition is concerned with multicellular organisms like us.

It's sort of a balance. Multicellular organisms get a lot of benefits that single-celled organisms don't, but in exchange, multicellular organisms give up the plasticity to improve themselves on demand by aquiring new DNA to better fit their environment.

Data pipelining and versioning with Pachyderm and Go
Higher pixel density makes a huge difference in text quality, of course. Your MacBook has 226 pixels per inch, and the Acer Predator Z35 has a very low 79 pixels per inch - that's almost a 3:1 difference linearly, and more than 8:1 by area.

On other words, given the same physical text size on each monitor, your MacBook is using more than eight times the number of pixels to render each character.

Given a choice between macOS on a 226 PPI monitor and any other OS on a 79 PPI monitor, I would definitely prefer macOS too. :-)

You're right that the best way to compare font rendering is on the same monitor for each OS. I wouldn't use 27" FHD monitors though. Those would have 81 PPI, about the same as the Predator.

In my case I'm comparing OSX and Windows on the same hardware: the MBPR 15" (220 PPI) plus a ViewSonic VX2475SMHL-4K 24" 4K monitor (187 PPI) rotated to portrait mode. I'm a big fan of smaller high-DPI monitors like this. 187 PPI is a reasonably close match to the MBPR's 220 PPI. Both Mac and Windows look nice on each of these displays, I just find I like Windows better of the two.

Here's a spreadsheet I've been maintaining that lists the pixels per inch for a variety of machines and monitors:

A rev of the original MacBook Air (the 2008-2010 one) got a custom package of an Intel CPU before it was available commercially.

The original MBA was expensive and underpowered, a niche product at the time. PC vendors responded with equally niche designs (remember the Dell Adamo?)

The Late 2010 MacBook Air introduced the current case design at a reasonable price, used 2+ year old internals (Core 2 Duo + 330m graphics), and set the world on fire.
This kind of comment does nothing to contribute to the conversation.
This is true. You don't need a dedicated box (at least for the simple configurations that I've run). A home user would be fine installing the controller software on their laptop and only launching it when changing config settings.
Besides the hardware, do not forget the absence of Vulkan and latest versions of OpenGL.
Yeah, a decade and a bit ago one could share a bit of knowledge on wikipedia fairly informally and be sure it would feed into the article and help the project.

Fast forward to recent years and you can write a decent article with references and have someone come along from one of the 'patrol' teams and nominate it for swift deletion in under 5 minutes, regardless of whether they know anything about the subject area.

New users are unlikely to try twice, when the initial reaction is so hostile.
Surely a lower volume fork of wikipedia could somehow incorporate upstream changes in a more or less automated way? It seems like a site serious about doing this would work on some kind of moderated conflict resolution system for when it does happen, but the vast majority of pages would presumably not need it.
They don't include your offering because it's success is not notable enough. Strangely, they do include a list of failures in another segment:

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

Maybe you need to go belly up then rebound with all your customers data. You'd be a "commercial failure" plus a "significant event." That might qualify for Wikipedia. Or just keep doing business as usual. ;)
Thanks! The FileVault2 driver for Linux that you couldn't find is probably this one:

It's experimental though. Better back up your data.

I'd recommend to create a partition for ZFS and move data there that you want to use on both OSes, or outright install Linux on a zpool and mount that on macOS. This has worked remarkably well for me, even with lz4 compression and all the other great features. Layer ZFS on TrueCrypt if you need encryption, I wrote a howto a while ago but never had the time to update it:

The main way I've found is to just read something from multiple countries. For a given article I care about or feel dubious about I always try to get at 3 or more country's take of it. While it doesn't help you find the 'truth' writers tend to misinterpret the same things different ways while things that are actually reported figures will lean more consistent.

Also for lots of things there is generally the direct source available if it is economic/legal/statistically relevant and a quick skim of that is a good get you up to speed thing. The writer made mention of something as 'interesting' so that's just a key to me to go looking for information in that direction where otherwise I would not.
> If your same screen was, say, 4K and you were running with text scaling, the fonts would look -way- better.

Oh, I'm sure of it. Thing is though, I picked the Z35 and not the Z34 because I also want to game on the machine and going to [almost] 4K was a no-go, even with a GTX 980.

I suppose one day I might just switch to huge dual-monitor setup: one for gaming and one for everything else. Seems like quite a hassle though, having in mind that my Z35 occupies a huge chunk of my otherwise pretty big desk.
I've been on Macbook pros since 2010, had a few of them by now, my latest is a retina 2013 with an i7, 8gb ram, 500GB hard drive. When surface book came out last year I bought one, with i7, 16GB ram, dedicated video card, 500GB hard drive. I really fell in love with drawing on my surface book with sketchbook pro, also great is fact that solidworks runs well on it, and finally windows 10 is much improved. Throw in the new linux subsystem on Windows 10 and general opensource embrace these days, altogether it is really more interesting to use my Surfacebook vs my MBP. It certainly feels like Microsoft is on the rise while Apple is on the decline. Further, I'm honestly excited to read about the upcoming Windows 10 phones that can run full desktop programs.

This has been incredibly frustrating for me. I get this spam a lot and it isn't flagged by Google Analytics as spam since it keeps showing up when I have block spam turned on. The biggest reason why it bothers me is that I have a fairly new site and I'm trying to get people to download my trial (or even buy) but when there is all this spam it makes it seem like I'm getting a lot of traffic but no conversions.

The trend in nuclear weapons has been for lower yields over the last 45 years or so. The reason is that advances in CEP precision due to better guidance systems means than huge yields are no longer necessary in order to ensure destruction of the intended target(s).

'Nuclear winter' is a completely unsupported theory pushed by Carl Sagan and the Union of Confused Scientists. Recall that these same people pushed 'the coming Ice Age' in the 1970s, 'global warming' until even their jiggered data was so obviously wrong that they renamed it 'climate change', and also predicted 'nuclear winter' effects from the burning oilfields during the first Gulf War - which never materialized, of course.

You are conflating minority viewpoints with reputability. No serious media source would invite a conspiracy theorist with no credibility. Differing viewpoints are an important part of any discussion.
I just read the F2FS paper and it seems very well-designed to match the physical properties of flash, plus some interesting capabilities to keep hot/cold data separate. If there's something wrong with F2FS, let's fix it. This seems like a far better place to start from than any filesystem designed around the assumptions of a spinning disk.

Well every major and minor news source in the US gave air time to a climate change denier, birther, and vaccination sceptic. I mean in the grand scheme of things, the JRE is nothing and IMO some of these guests put forth great ideas I would have never considered. Speaking to this article, I'd be interested to hear if any research has explicitly set out to verify the "long telomeres cause cancer" claim.

"Most people" don't have issues with seizures. The children studied were receiving medical nutrition therapy from experts, thus having several blood markers checked constantly and having precise diets formulated and adjusted to their individual and changing needs. Ketoacidosis may be a low likelihood, but there is definite concern. The article linked also mentions "However, side effects, such as slowed growth, kidney stones, and fractures, should be monitored closely." If we just start telling everyone to go keto, there is a high probability for harm (both known and unknown) in some percentage of the population.
Sure. But the US doesn't care until it thinks it can use the opportunity to threaten the USSR/Russia. And "overzealous" (not sure how I managed to type overly zealous instead) means staging myopic, sometimes protracted wars or military action of dubious to no (or negative) benefit for the American people: Panama (because a corrupt dictator wasn't following orders anymore), Cambodia, Vietnam, and now Afghanistan, Iraq.

That is, it's all under guise of "fighting communism", or more specifically, the Russians, which could be believed if they were actually deterred by it and didn't just think the US was a war-hungry power bent on global domination. Well, in the few cases the military action was actually successful instead of turning out to be a national disgrace.

This all seems to trace back to Eisenhower's stiffing aid post-war to Russia and further by the Truman Doctrine. I say that Russia has never had an interest in invading the US, but our ballistic foreign policy has only emboldened them to replace us as the foremost world power.
I just run the Unifi Controller on my Mac when I need to configure something and then shut it down. AFAIK some features (e.g. WiFi captive portal, if I remember correctly) require a Controller running full-time.
The company the article refers to is https://numer.ai/about

From their homepage:

"February 27th 2016, an artificial intelligence named NCVSAI joined Numerai. . . He uses an untraceable email address. . . He is completely anonymous. His strongest prediction: buy Salmar ASA — a Norwegian salmon company. . . Numerai’s hedge fund went long Salmar ASA."

Ok, so how is this anything but an anonymous proxy to arbitrage insider information?

Wrap confidential, non-public information under the guise of developing "AI" for trading?

I am serious, I don't necessarily understand the need for the data scientists to maintain anonymity, seems like the only functional reason is to let them break the law?

Yes, it was "comparison of cloud storage blah blah" that we've tried, several times, to be added to, but again, "not notable" since we're only discussed in wikipedia, but don't have our own page.

But more to the point, as I have described, we have tried to add a rsync.net wikipedia several times (I'm sorry - I don't know the exact naming that "rsync.net" generates in a wikipedia URL) and as I described - almost instantaneously deleted due to notability - even with 12-15 serious, journalistic sources.

It's possible to create fuel by filtering CO2 from the air, but the filtering process requires energy, and so does converting the CO2 into fuel. We'd need to use an abundant carbon-free energy source, like solar or advanced nuclear.

I still think it's a great idea, as a backup plan for carbon-neutral transportation in case electric vehicles don't take over the world in the near future.
I went to school with Richard and so clearly remember him explaining this to me over coffee less than a year ago when the website had an under-construction style landing page and it's been amazing to watch this grow so fast.

The platform is great and I'd strongly recommend anyone wanting to get machine learning experience or who has played with Kaggle to check out Numerai!

The homomorphic encryption piece is fascinating and I think it'll be an important piece in balancing the privacy vs. utility of personal data as machine learning seeps deeper into the fabric of our lives.
