Maybe you were responding to "form herds, gang up, pile on". My explanation for why they do that: For a newsie, if some of the bigger guns in the MSM are saying that some candidate is a dirty rat, then it is both safe and easy for all the other newsies in the MSM to do the same. Just one newsie calling dirty rat likely won't have enough credibility to get much traction, but, if all the MSM newsies are saying dirty rat, then they all get credibility, not just for a claim of dirty rat but maybe also even for little green men from Mars. More generally, gangs offer to their members some safety of numbers, and people in gangs are more willing to throw stones.

A friend of mine who remembers NYC some decades ago explains that the NYT wrote the stories and the rest of the MSM, especially the TV evening news, just went along -- easy, "no real work about it".

Yes, no doubt much the same applied to tribes. If everyone joins in, then can bring down an elephant, mastodon, bison, reindeer or some such, no one member of the tribe is at much risk of injury, and everyone in the tribe eats that day. If some guy in the tribe just wants to sleep through the effort, then maybe the rest of the tribe won't let him eat!
These are release notes so don't expect a project description there. And I think the gif on the homepage makes it perfectly clear (to me at least).
Just my experience, but a relatively recent (late summer?) OS update must have fixed it. Since then, I haven't had any problems with my SP4 not waking from sleep.
Essentially it is, with caveats. The Economist was originally a publication set up to protest the Corn Laws and their distortion of the marketplace. The stance has shifted over the years but the tone is often inline with the founding idea that people and businesses should be left up to their own devices unless there is an excellent reason to intervene.
Skepticism is important for any advice. MyPlate/USDA dietary guidelines are updated often, based on all the research and debunking that has happened before and since 1992. As I mentioned in another comment, it's a good place to start for most people. There is going to be some influences affecting their recommendations but most people can benefit from the overall approach.

A diet with high carbs should be mostly complex carbs. There is no minimum refined carb recommendation. The only recommendation is to limit added sugars to <10% of daily kcals. That recommendation may be reduced further in later revisions.
While not quite ready for a 1.0.0, there has been some neat stuff going on in hyper: over the last week, the tokio branch added support for TLS, and from what I hear, is mostly waiting on tokio's initial release to be merged into master. Soon........
I never really was conscious of, but completely can see in retrosprect, that bass-drop-before-explosion thing you mentioned.

It actually is used a bit in the new Wolfenstein game (The New Order).

Save for the creepy singing 5yo thing, I have to say I enjoy these cliches... even though I know they're meant to manipulate my emotions in a fairly unearned and lazy way, if the rest of the movie/game/piece is compelling and supports it, it works to great effect.

I will say that the solemn girl's choir singing pop-songs (a la Social Network/Scala Choir, or Scream Queens/KTT Pledge) is another one that I see fairly often and very much appreciate.
I can't find Rsync.net anywhere in the deletion logs, but one thing you might be able to remember is the username you used to add the article (or, really, to edit anything on Wikipedia). Could you give us that, and we can use it to track down the deleted article?

I would not be surprised to see that you had sufficient reliable sources to sustain an Rsync.net article, so it'd be interesting to see the logic used to speedy-delete your article.

One nice outcome of this would be that you'd end up with a functioning Wikipedia page. :)
Calorie cutting is definitely part of it, but it is not the whole picture. I've done calorie-restrictive diets that were more carb-based (low-fat) in the past and saw very minor weight loss in comparison. I think this works differently in overall healthy people versus someone like me who is predisposed/skewed towards type 2 diabetes - where the insulin response is all screwed up.
Very little.
If you frequently use the command line, it's probably not for you. Think of this as similar to the Atom text editor. With html/css/js, you can create your own packages and themes or download one from the community.

I'm a simple man and like pretty, shiny things, like occasionally activating power mode, or playing the John Cena theme when you open a new tab. Stupid shit like this keeps my morale up.
I heard that people were having terrible times with the surface book. its a shame. wonderful concept.
Hah! The interesting thing about 'reputability' is this - Your ideas have to be in about the same ballpark as mine. If they are any more, then you're just a crazy conspiracy theorist who I shan't waste my time on. Any less, then you're just one of the sheeple who believes in the propaganda and will not question, so no point in wasting time in engaging in a conversation.

Think about it.
Not really.

There's nothing wrong with sharing music with others, what matters is the intent. Sharing music to enjoy together, great. Sharing music you may not enjoy just to get your rocks off, not exactly the best thing in the world.
Collage professors will also often work well past retirement age.

So, IMO it's more complex than just 'builders'.
the language du jour, which means all sort of clueless people are falling over themselves to abuse it in increasingly convoluted ways

That's simply how the programming "field" works. Also in the category of "how it works": People grousing about it. (Seriously, that is the way it works, and do we dare suppose there is a better way?)
I wish more projects would adopt this mentality. I feel like there was a time whenever you went to a project page the first thing you would find was a description and how it was helpful, followed by screenshots and a quick start guide.

Nowadays they all just tell you what was in the latest release, or give some instructions on how to install it without telling me why I should even bother take time out of my day to install it.
It's a terminal emulator built with Electron, the same tech behind the Atom and VS Code editors.

Like xterm, iTerm, Terminator, Gnome Terminal, Konsole, etc.
That time I went into the leadership section of the bookstore
Only if the enjoyment is one-sided.
It sounds like you're already doing the right thing (congrats!), but if you're interested in the subject "The Obesity Code" by Jason Fung is an incredibly good book. It delves into why/how of type 2 diabetes and how it can be cured/managed.
Great article. Sad to hear there is a cultural shift...

Worth noting that there is definitely a Bulbasaur article on Wikipedia though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbasaur

A very nice thing about Wikipedia is its obsessive tendency towards logging all this stuff. What's your Wikipedia username? We could look at some of the exchanges you had with more "reputable" contributors and get a sense of how valid this complaint is.
This was the version page on github.

If you go to the root github readme "A terminal built on web technologies https://hyper.is"

> People working on project like this need to understand that without a reasonable textual description of their product, outlining basic features and benefits over other existing systems, that the uptake is going to be very, very low.

For people using terminals I would HOPE people would know what "HTML/CSS/JS used to make a terminal means. What audience is this going to reach? Most will find this to be a unholy heresy and we will stick with our urtv terminals.
Thank you for clarifying the case.
by default windows 10 will show you 'suggested' apps in your start menu programs list. This can be disabled in the settings (just open settings and search for suggestions)
It kind of already feels like that's what Objective-C is. You can use pretty-strong types, or you can just cast to id. Same with NSArray, elements can either be id (default) or a specific type. I just kind of feel like using better type systems hasn't actually helped me write better/cleaner/safer code. It's just added a very small amount of confidence and sometimes convoluted my code disproportionately.
Until I see actual numbers I take any advertising material like this with a hefty grain (nugget?) of salt. As far as we know they went from 1000 people using the trade-in program last year to 5000 using it this year. Yes, a big uptick, but not necessarily meaningful until we get to larger numbers.

I've seen/used the Surface and honestly it's a lot like the iPad Pro in that it feels like the sort of computer I'd happily hand to someone who doesn't actually need a PC, but I'd hate to have it be my development experience. The Surface is a bit more full-featured due to it having less of a sandboxed app model, but it's underpowered for the stuff I do with a computer. On the other hand the new MBP is pretty good. It has some annoyances (USB-C annoys me once every couple weeks so far, and the keyboard takes getting used to), but it's fast, light, and has a beautiful display. And I can run everything on it that I need to.

They don't mention Koyaanisqatsi!

https://youtu.be/r4WlNj1TTqA?t=30m20s etc

To me the Braaam inception sound is Koyaanisqatsi + loudness wars.

They do say this, to be fair to them:

> Zimmer is in good company: over the last thirty years, film composers have pressed the sound of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Arvo Pärt into service for their soundtracks. Their compositions rely on simple, repeating, and varying patterns that tend to avoid melody. They reduce or remove those foreground melodic elements that would normally carry a scene’s emotions. They rely on smaller ensembles, often entirely made up of strings.

Films seem to mostly use two Reich and Pärt tracks. That one from Glassworks https://youtu.be/6Stu7h7Qup8?t=27m20s and Spiegal Im Spiegal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV4LlCtvgwE
Some people make round wheels better. Some people try to create a better wheel than a round one. Both types are usually good for society. The former is most likely to yield any results at all; the latter, when it yields any results, is most likely to produce massive steps forward.

Where would we be if Einstein had spent all his time trying to improve Newton's gravity rather than reinventing it?
Don't complain. Figure out how to charge consulting fees!
That issue looks open to me, and there is no notice in it that it was ever closed. It does however have another issue made after it reporting the same thing and a collaborator closed that issue citing it being a dupe.
The double-free thing dates from 2002. I'm sure there's better examples than that.

The Surface is a big step forward in terms of eliminating a lot of nuisances from the Windows experience but it also proves that the biggest nuisance of all is OEMs. Eliminating them also cuts out a lot of reasons for using Windows in the first place, like low-cost equipment. I agree it's a great product, but it's also great because of the tight integration you get with a unified hardware/OS vendor. Dell, HP and others don't have this luxury, so their experience is always second-rate.

Also "Linux on Windows" is a huge step forwards, but sheesh, it's still atrocious compared to proper native support. It's like a slick version of Cygwin. Remarkable but not a drop-in replacement for Linux.

You can compile GUI apps on macOS, but I've never needed to. The one app that depended on that was Wireshark, but I found a way to use tcpdump instead. It's mostly a non-issue.
Which round wheels would you like to see improved?
> I have been using using Hyper kinda since the beginning and eventually switched back to iTerm because it's way faster if you use it all day long.

This is how I feel about Sublime Text vs Atom. Every time I try to switch to Atom, I run into this problem. The slight sluggishness gets increasingly annoying the more time I spend using it.
The value added isn't in the use of ML techniques itself, it's in the hype train that fills the Valley these days: our customers see "Data Science product" and don't get that it's really basic predictive analytics under the hood. I'm not sure the product would actually sell as well as it does without that labeling.

So you are misleading your customers through omission? This is the kind of thing that makes people question anyone stating they are using ML. Those of us actually implementing ML techniques (aka training neural nets and automating processes with data) are met with unnecessary skepticism as a result.

edit: OP clarified his position since this post so take that into account when reading.

Latest Java 9 Schedule Appears to Be at Risk from the Outset
It's just something I've never seen outlined like that. That makes it sound like there's a committee out there that decides what questions can be asked.

I've been reading a lot about physics lately, and many things are quite... out there... and I felt like I had to go back and sort of rewire my brain a few times.

Some physics questions are simple enough: "What happens if we do this?" But some seem less tractable, such as what does it mean for something to be the last level of "matter", what does "one dimensional string" really mean, why is the speed of light the maximum, etc., and a lot of theories come from what seems to be philosophical intuition more than number crunching.

I'd be very curious to see a strict definition of "questions physics scientists are allowed to ask".

> The difference is that something like "meaning of existence" can never be defined or even predicted since it depends on the individual, since it's only relevant within the fictitious ramblings of a single mind.

Funny, I can't agree with that. That to me sounds like you're just pushing your own opinion. I fully believe that there is such a thing as meaning of existence, but I may be using a very mundane definition of "meaning". Perhaps such questions seem undefinable because someone forgot to define the word "meaning" again.

I believe it's all physics in the end, one is just a lot better understood than the other, so the other looks like you can't nail it down and therefore isn't "real". But just like with physics, it leads somewhere, and predictions can be made...
It's interesting, because my experience has been the opposite. I've found the Surface and Windows 10 to consistently exceed my overall expectations for the platform and are mostly on par with my experiences with OSX.

But I have found with some units, after you move the device the trackpad does have issues. In a few cases (perhaps once every 2 weeks) I have to disconnect and reconnect the base to fix them.

> The day I went into the Microsoft store to purchase it (Black Friday), their credit card system was down, so I had to wait around for nearly 2 hours until they finally figured things out.

Every store's shopping experience on black friday ranges from barely tolerable to unbearable. You know where I had to drop by on black friday to do a chore for my hospital-bound sister? The Apple Store. It was an unpleasant experience.

> I also realized, as mainly a pro user, that I don't have much use / need for the touch screen or tablet portion of the device.

What does this mean? Do pro users not look at or create webpages, mobile apps? Touch works everywhere but IDEs.

I find myself accidentally touching my corporate macbook's screen all the time to click a distant link because it's so much faster than the trackpad travel, and I'm better at home-rowing my hands from a high position rather than a wrist swivel.

Needless to say, I am sick of being "forced" to use OSX. It's slower for my purposes, it's less developer friendly, and the battery life on most of these devices is just atrocious the instant you start doing I/O intensive things like compilation.

My Surface book w/ battery saver mode on still goes 6+ hours doing clojure and kotlin compilations periodically with battery saver on, with only maybe a 10-15% speed loss (which amounts to less than 10 seconds per compile in my worst case). That's substantially better than any mac product I have.

Well I bought Sun stock at $76, and now it's worth $0.76?
> AFAIK, the 2011 MBPs are no longer supported for hardware repairs (although they will run the latest OS). Maybe that's what the parent is referring to?

The GGP specifically stated that "Apple discontinued OS support and updates". This is either incorrect, or the GGP has a very different definition of "relatively new" than I do - with 7 year old hardware being supported on Sierra, he'd have to be talking about something 8+ years old...
It took me all of a few minutes of listening to that podcast to realize that they're peddling conspiracy theories and consider themselves to occupy a similar space as Alex Jones' Infowars.

Wikipedia's Verifiability policy:

> In Wikipedia, verifiability means that anyone using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source.

The general notability guideline:

The latter is little more than a restatement of the former, so I don't get the point about it being more 'subjective'.
Seems like you pasted that list twice!
I think the problem lies in

for established cardiovascular disease risk factors

As the great American philosopher D. Rumsfeld once famously pointed out [0], there are known knowns, known unknowns but there also are unknown unknowns :-)

So I would not dismiss the argument at this point.

Generalized anxiety has been shown to be a
reliable predictor of coronary heart disease

What the parent said applies here too. A statistical "predictor" isn't a statement about causation.

What would need to be shown is a mechanism. How is the brain doing all those things that it is being blamed for? or is it really just sensing something and reacting, instead of causing it as is claimed? Why are so many people in those discussion satisfied as soon as the brain (or something much more fuzzy!) has been "identified" as the actor causing the problem? How is that an explanation for anything? I'm not in the medical field, but I've taken many medical courses, including neuroscience courses (plural, because I found it so interesting). I find those "explanations" baffling to say the least. All I see is that they are just shifting the problem somewhere else and calling it a day, sort of like Douglas Adam's "Somebody Else's Problem (SEP) field" that makes things invisible. [1]

Also, that soooo many people take a statistical "prediction" as a real prediction, meaning an established causation, without question, always in similar discussions when people start citing stuff found on PubMed. Statistics is more like blood test measurements: It's a tool, to get a diagnosis you use it - but you don't base your result on it (just because a value is inside or outside some "standard range" doesn't mean much by itself). Not unless it's extreme, in which case you probably don't need statistics to begin with.

Really interesting concept: offload the aspects of your AI or ML flow that aren’t your focus, and rent access to data. (Or on the flip side, sell access to your own data.) It’s fun/exciting to think about the boost in efficiency if data scientists didn’t need to spend so much time munging, but the potential for a marketplace of accessible (but appropriately privacy-protected) data is even more compelling.
We use RNNs for voice keyword recognition.
"I am a Surface convert after Apple discontinued OS support and updates for my still powerful, healthy, relatively new Macbook."

Which one? Cause anything they discontinued support for isn't really "relatively new".

"It really feels like Apple has become more and more hostile to the "production" crowd"

I absolutely do not buy this argument at all. Usually it's made by people who's definition of "production crowd" is so narrow as to only include what they do.
Freehold was about trying to get into the mind of a post-apocalyptic survivalist - life in lower states of humanity and tribalistic instincts. The other books were about life in higher states of society and humanity. You can't assume that Heinlein was making a value judgement pro diverse militarism or pro racial survivalism in either book. It's science fiction. The only common attitude that his stories seem to clearly reward and respect is grit.
This is right at the top of the GitHub page:

> A terminal built on web technologies https://hyper.is

On the home page, the very first thing it says is:

>Hyper™ JS/HTML/CSS Terminal

Then I scroll down and everything else I see pretty much confirms this. It's a terminal which uses HTML and JavaScript to make things look pretty (which is what I would have inferred from both of those descriptions).

I've seen some terrible pages, but I think you're being a bit harsh on this one.
Does the parser support HTTP2 yet?
I remember a scene from the book where he recalls bright lights in the distance? I thought it was a subtle hint that it was nuclear war, but its been awhile. That was my initial interpretation at least.
I tried hyper a week or two ago. It's fun and nice... zippy enough in everyday use and fairly pretty. But I had problems pasting commands into it, and it seems incapable of remembering multi-window layouts between sessions.

But, everybody has their own list of must-haves and deal-breakers. I'm sure hyper 1.0.0 does enough for a significant number of people out there. Congrats to the team.
I think we're on the same page. Apple's relatively costly products will be seen as an especially bad value by those who do not see value in polish and attention to detail (or who believe polish and attention to detail -- particularly Apple's --- are a marketing illusion).
My 2008 MacBook got updates until Sierra. 8 years is an excellent lifetime for a entry level laptop.

I perked up when I read this part of the article. I've had my Nexus 6 for nearly two full years and it's not fun to use. Very laggy and I missed many moments because the camera wouldn't load. I ended up getting a Pixel and I'm worried that in a year I'll see this same phenomenon again.
I personally didn't create Vimwiki and I didn't add the markdown support, I'm just the main contributor for the last couple of years. But thanks for the kind words anyway :)
