Your body has to work harder to digest, then rid itself of the extra sugar/fat/salt/alcohol, the food itself will give you higher blood pressure, which was probably higher than normal because of holiday stress, and compounded by your body having to work harder to process the meal.

But it's probably just pushing people who are borderline over the edge, and not undoing years of healthy living in a weekend.
Start with the book NightWatch and a set of 10x50 astronomy binoculars.

Stellarium is great because you can map out what you want to view. Get used to navigating the night sky and trying to find things yourself.

Join a local astronomy club. There are experts with nice scopes that can make the hobby more enjoyable.

Beyond that, telescopes models and types really depend on your budget. I recommend looking at the sidebar of https://www.reddit.com/r/Astronomy/ particular on the guides to buying a telescope.

How about a more positive message? "The creator of this software believes in equal rights" or "Be excellent to one another".

Picking on "Trump supporters" is a pretty low blow. And in practical terms is probably pointless -- basically just virtue signalling[0].

I know it's hard to know what to do, but if we're going to make a positive change in the world, we're all going to have to do better than this.

Yes, though it has to be seen how well it will work out in the long term, when huge amounts of panels and batteries will be in need of being disposed of.

In any case the Law represents a good provision for the consumer/end user, JFYI:

The resources are "distributed":
>Waste originating from PV modules classified as household (B2C) waste (those installed in PV plants with a nominal power below 10 Kw) is financed by the Producers present in the market in the year when the costs occur according to their market share.

But only for "household" plants:
>Waste originating from PV modules classified as non-household (B2B) waste (those installed in PV plants with a nominal power equal or above 10 Kw) placed on the market before 12/04/2014 is financed by the Producers when selling a new PV module replacing the old, in all other cases the financing is upon users. For waste originating from B2B PV modules placed on the market after 12/04/2014, the financial responsibility is upon Producers for the modules they placed on the market.

So there is IMHO a risk about companies that sell today but will be not anymore in business in 20/25 years time to pay for the disposal ...

... cannot say if there are some forms of insurance (or whatever) covering this possibility.

Right now (just for the record) the fee for WEEE (for business) is between 0.30 €/kg and 0.50 €/kg + shipment, which seems very little when you are dealing with "light" items like - say - LCD TV's or laptops, but not so little when you are dealing with CRT's or similar.
Not just mathematics, all disciplines should contain a healthy dose of history.

Thanks for writing this. I often find it difficult to wrap my head around some of these crates if I'm unfamiliar with the problem space. Often times if you haven't tried building a server before you won't know why you would use a crate like this. Having a high level overview of what you might use it for and a simple walked through example is really helpful.
Right. Even then most corporations think a BA is a shitty filter, before much longer they'll decide to educate bright 16 year olds on their own terms and selection process. Certainly that is what I'd do if I wanted to increase loyalty and employee retention.
At work it is routine for people to create long phone meetings, invite 50 people who all are expected to be online, talk for hour with no decision, plan another meeting for later to talk about it again. People only show up because if they don't they will be blamed for anything that goes wrong which will spawn more unpleasant meetings. The actual decision needed could be done in a couple of Slack messages between two programmers, but the end result is massive wastage of time where no one can get any work done. Because no work is accomplished, more meetings must be held to decide what to do to fix it. Of course as a programmer I am expected to get everything done within a small window of time which of course doesn't include all the meetings, so I have to be masterful of what time I have to avoid being called into meetings about why I didn't get things done on time.
your idea has an interesting parallel in econ/finance: trading on inside information (misnomer: insider trading) has the economic effect of moving the prices of securities in the direction they're supposed to go, which is a public good. Stock markets are meant to "crowd source" a price which accurately predicts the future value, and illegal trades by insiders do that precisely, move the price of the security toward its new equilibrium.

If you hold the market portfolio (i.e. invest in a broadly diversified market index ETF, as you in most cases "should") this impacts you by helping you more accurately assess your current postion and make more knowledgeable trades like "sell some now and buy a house" or "retire". Before you object to that, remember these effects occur on margin (econ, not finance)
Upwards to 70% of the XBOX360/PS3 generation AAA games ran on the Unreal Engine. For the XBONE/PS4 gen its 60% Unreal 30% Unity 10% stuff like CryEngine. It'd be very hard to knock Unreal off its throne since it's very, very well written and essentially free (you pay 5% of profits for commercial use when you go above a certain threshold). So no, there aren't any real openings for disruption unless Epic does something massively stupid.

My boss at one company would call meetings with an agenda that he set and then step out of the meeting to answer phone calls from his boss. Then six or eight of us sat around trying to figure out what to talk about without him not there. Tremendous waste of time. Several man hours per incident. And if not for that personality flaw I would have called him a good boss.

I've been following futures since the announcement blog post came out (and had been using rust for several months before that) and I've never found a group of crates that intermix so well together.

Thanks so much to the people working on this!
Your salary, if it's appropriate to your skill level and work output, is based on 8ish (ish due to lunch / breaks) hours a day of your level of output. If you want to do non-work related things for half the day, then obviously you shouldn't expect to be in office less than 8 hours and still be doing your part to earn the salary.

Now yes, if your job is under-paying you for your actual ability, then obviously that changes this balance. Same goes if you're constantly pulled in outside work hours to do things and still put in 8hr days (and your salary isn't factoring in those extra hours). If either of these are happening, your better bet is to find an employer who values you as more than just a cog in a wheel if you can.

I'm not arguing for the "capitalist employers side" saying work more, get paid less b/s. I'm saying engineers in general are well paid (compared to many other fields) and we shouldn't take advantage of that.

Absolutely no! 90% of educated population does not handle basic math (such as rule of proportions). History would dilute math even more. But it would be easier for teachers and students to 'pass'.
Probably not. It's interesting to plow through Newman's four volume "The World of Mathematics" as a grad student, but inflicting mathematical history on ordinary school kids is cruel. They don't need that much math.

Unless you're a mathematician, math should be viewed as a tool, like a lathe. You don't need to know the history of the lathe, and how Maudslay made it a precision machine tool. (His original lathe is in the Kensington Science Museum. It's one of those historic artifacts which looks very different from its predecessors, and it's successors look a lot like it.)

Few people need to know how to build up mathematics from minimal axioms. Nobody should have to struggle through Whitehead and Russell below the PhD level. We have power tools for that now. The original Boyer-Moore theorem prover from 1992 can build up constructive number theory from the axioms in under a minute.[1] I fixed it up recently to run on GNU Common Lisp and put it on Github, so it's runnable on modern machines.

There's certainly no excuse for inflicting Newton's notation for calculus on kids. It's not even clear that classical geometry proof approaches are that useful.

No argument that this is an upgrade to a fairly lackluster mail client. However, Airmail has all of the features listed here plus a killer iOS client, more 3rd party app integration, real time push notifications for Gmail (in the case if the iOS client vs the terrible default mail app), syncs settings/accounts across all clients AND its blazing fast. All of that for a one time fee vs the monthly pricing scheme here for pro accounts. I made the switch a few years ago and have never looked back.
For better or worse, having a very common name is one of the best ways to hide. By contrast, my name is effectively unique (at least among people who have any web presence).

The worst of both world though is probably having an almost unique name that you share with someone notorious who could plausibly be you for reasons of age, location, etc. I once knew someone who shared names (in the pre-Web era) with someone who was a widely hated figure at one point in NYC. My acquaintance literally got death threats on his answering machine aimed at this individual.
>So, basically, Windows doesn't play nice with others and Windows doesn't do automation. That's why things take longer and why it's more expensive. I'm reading through this:

Windows does automation just fine, you are throwing this word around without even trying to explain what is it you want to automate.

SCCM has ok to decent support for Linux; again depending on your use cases and distro.

I don't understand why are you even bringing random Reddit and forum posts for a 5 year old version of SCCM.

SCCM isn't expensive it's usually "free" when you buy enough licenses.

Also you missed a very critical point; Chef, Puppet and Ansible can invoke the SCCM agent.

Their built-in agents for Windows suck, so you either write your own automation (e.g. Powershell) and invoke it via Chef/Puppet/w/e or you use a decent agent that was actually built for purpose.

You are constantly complaining about things that at the end stem from a single source; incorrect tooling.

My math teacher taught me not only calculus, but also when and who got up to what. It doesn't have to take a long time, but a bit of context helps a lot. Euler went to Russia and yada yada bridges graphs etc.

Same goes for all science disciplines. You need to have a rough idea that Darwin worked in the 19th century, that much of thermo came about in the late 19th century, that quantum is a 20th century thing. You need to know what people were wondering about, and what experiments they came up with.

“Need”? Depends on the level, and maybe not. It can certainly be helpful though. I particularly recommend in primary school teaching about the history of counting boards / abacuses, the history of trigonometry, and most importantly the history of logarithms (every high school student should learn rudimentary use of a slide rule). All three will help clarify why particular tools and notations became standard, and give insight into pre-electronic-computer science and engineering more generally.

For anyone interested in the history of mathematics per se at the undergraduate level, I recommend Stillwell’s book, https://amzn.com/144196052X

More important than “mathematical history” is to teach students some measure of physics/engineering alongside the mathematics, to help motivate concepts.

> The actual decision needed could be done in a couple of Slack messages between two programmers

In my experience, those two programmers rarely have a good enough understanding of existing codebase and momentum to make good decisions. Without meetings, there is little way to avoid these problems.

Programmers are good at implementation, not (necessarily) decision making.

Also, meetings only make sense if everyone is focused on decision making; this is a company culture issue more than anything.
I haven't posted about it yet, as I wanted to clean up the branch before I do, and I ran out of time; work to catch up and so on :-)

libtcc is /massively/ clever, it will 'link back' to your (exported) ELF symbols automatically. Basically it links the piece of code to your current running process, with all it's libs etc.

So if you have a function blob(int); in your main program, just call it from the C you generate, and it'll Just Works.

For my own purpose, I decided to trim down the headers I would have to include in the generated C and made some sort of simpler 'trampoline', but it's not strictly necessary.
The goal of the storage industry is not to take everyone off grid. The goal is to increase the penetration capacity of intermittent renewables. You can get to 50% penetration without storage, but you need demand response and storage to push beyond 50%. So, most storage isn't priced to be off-grid, it's priced to provide the most value to the consumer (demand response, peak shaving, backup power, etc.).

At the end of the day it's all about economics, and there's lots of economics in favor of connected storage in addition to off-grid storage.

That would be true in other places I've been in the past (especially in the Valley), but whenever someone on my team is responsive outside work hours and has been working more or less as expected during office hours, I tell them to take the afternoon off or come in late.

This is great and positive and all things nice. How about making this more valuable by somehow connecting me with 10 people who know about this problem area or have tried or are interested in building a solution to this and more important : people who are facing this issue and are wanting to try out my solution to the problems that I am trying to solve ?

To be honest the only thing that will inspire me to build something is seeing 10 real people face real issues that I believe I can solve. Queue Management for example. Its 2016 (almost 2017) for heaven's sake and I still see people queuing up at cash registers, coffee shops and department stores alike. That's what I want to solve. How is 10 new ideas helping me ?
