I am well acquainted with death. It is an occupational hazard of working on an ambulance. It is that very familiarity that puts first responders at a very high risk for PTSD (like the friend I mentioned above).

Dark humor is favorite pastime of folks working in fire/EMS/law enforcement. We are _very_ good at laughing at things that would probably be shocking to many. There is, however, a time and place for that. Making light of something like PTSD is not especially helpful to anyone.
A fun riff on QuickCheck is QuickSpec[1], a tool that automatically generates laws (invariants) for an API and tests them with QuickCheck. The example in the documentation is pretty good:

Given reverse, ++ (list concatenation) and [], it finds six laws:

xs ++ [] == xs
[] ++ xs == xs
(xs ++ ys) ++ zs == xs ++ (ys ++ zs)
reverse [] == []
reverse (reverse xs) == xs
reverse xs ++ reverse ys == reverse (ys ++ xs)

It's not perfect—it's limited to reasonably small equational laws on a small set of provided functions—but I think it's a really cool example of what's possible and even practical starting from a simple and elegant tool like QuickCheck.

Thata the clever bit about FIDO. Part of what unlocks the private key for signing the challenge is somehing called AppId. AppId is automatically captured by your webbrowser (weborigin standard) and passed along. So the authenticator only unlooks if you are on the correct website.

A further feature is that you can make the ssl tunnel id part of this as well, that makes it even better.

This is how both UAF and U2F work.

Here is CyanogenMod's Post: https://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a-fork-in-the-road

All of this is so sad. At least for me.

I've used Steve Kondik's CyanogenMod on my ADP1 and have used CM until I got a Nexus 5. It was just so much better than anything the OEMs could produce at that time and had great customization features. Only Android 6.0 has stopped my yearning for CM. I think it had a profound impact on Android or at least it's technically oriented community. Even MIUI started as a CyanogenMod Mod, afaik, before Xiaomi even produced Android smartphones.

I couldn't understand the rage in the community when Steve wanted to create a business around CM and to this day think that their business model has only benefited CM. pfSense and nginx seem to do just fine with a similar approach.

Did Cyngn (Cyanogen Inc.) fuck up? Did Steve make mistakes along the way? Were his business partners toxic to the company and CM? - Probably yes and no to some degree to all of these questions but hey, it was mostly great I think.

Sad to see the company go and sad to see CM probably die slowly. At least in the form it exists in today. Hope dies last so I hope that CM will somehow survive...
Near is very near here.

Let's analyze a similar case. The weak nuclear force is transmitted by the W+, Z0 and W- particles. They live approximately 1E-25 seconds. Assuming they travel near the speed of light, they can travel 3E-17 meters. That is a very small distance

You can think that an electron and a neutrino at 3E-17 meters can somehow interact at distance, because it's very small. But this is not true. The electron has to create one of the W+, Z0 and W- particles, send it to the neutrino, and the neutrino has to absorb it. Even 3E-17 meters is a long distance here, and it's possible to measure indirectly the properties of the intermediate particles.

If the Em-Drive device somehow interacts with the floor, walls or the Earth that are a few inches away, this is a extremely very big distance for the current theories. The Em-drive must interact with some kind of field and create some intermediate particles, like photons, gravitons or some new particle.

The problem is that if the Em-drive using some field and particles to conserve the energy and momentum locally, then the maximal theoretical output of a device that don't break the currently accepted physics laws is 1/c = 0.0033 mN/KW. I couldn't find in this article the experimental results in China, but it the recent "successful" experiment in NASA measured 4000x this value. [In my opinion, it was an experimental error.]

Getting 0.0033 mN/KW is "easy" with a perfect light source, like a perfect laser. Less is easier with a real light source, like a real laser. More is theoretical impossible with the current physics laws.

No hard data on this, but I assume that most teen pregnancies occur in demographics that are unlikely to care much for data visualizations. 77% of teen pregnancies are unplanned [1], so these parents did not "decide" to have a child - they were just not careful.

Funny thing about this. I spent what probably amounted of hours of time looking for the perfect email client for my Surface, namely, one that would let me snooze my email without requiring Inbox. I also embarked on the same journey for my iPhone.

I eventually got tired of switching from client to client and went with mobile Gmail on Safari. It's much less distracting. You eventually realize that if people REALLY need you, they'll call you!
I would imagine that the "host" would be diskless and would treat the "guest"'s boot disk as its boot disk. It's effectively the same as swapping the guest disk into the host, but all its other peripherals (ports, sensors, etc.) come along as well.

This is why I was asking whether there was ever a dock made for a specific computer that had this feature: it requires the guest's disk's OS to have drivers to let it boot the host—or even hardware compatibility such that docking the "guest" would cause it to hibernate to disk, and then boot from that same hibernation image on the host. That basically requires the host and guest [the dock and the portable] to be made together.

(And that's not even getting into weird things you could do with live process migration and NUMA and memory hotplug if you want to make both the host's and guest's processors available without an effective reboot/hibernation/sleep step.)

An aside: before it was revealed what exactly the Nintendo Switch was (a portable with a variable clock rate that overclocks itself when plugged into a heatsink dock), I had a suspicion that it might use this architecture: a portable that just turns itself into a disk and Bluetooth controller for a more powerful non-portable when plugged into it.

> I am a computer professional. I never even considered using the low end MacBook. I imagine all other professionals also disregarded it.

I am a computer professional. I was delighted to get the 2016 MacBook. I imagine plenty, though not all, other professionals also use it -- in fact I see them doing so. I'm also not pompous or insecure enough to feel that there is some sort of magic dividing line between "real" computing folks and mere "consumers".

I must admit I build only small programs with Xcode, doing most of my development in Emacs, doing some compiles locally and much heavy lifting remotely. I have one large simulator that can only run for a few thousand steps locally, but I can happily run it on AWS.

On the other hand it's super-portable, perfectly powerful for the C, C++, Lisp, Java and Rust development I need it for; it runs web browsers, various clients etc perfectly well.

Perhaps if you have to do a lot of image or video editing it wouldn't be enough. It's hard to say, since I used to do editing on a shared 2.5 MIPS mainframe; on the other hand you wouldn't make a modern movie on a MacBook Pro. But you probably write such a program on a machine far less powerful than the users need.
Ironic tho, isn't it?

Github limits are for big high traffic pages, and you open the door for smaller projects/orgs.

Science is a process in which conclusions are made from evidence. It does not deal in proof and scientific conclusions change when new evidence is available. Obviously a historian uses this process as much as physicist. Mathematics in itself is not science, but it can be used as a tool for science if the assumptions in the mathematical models are based on evidence. An answerable question is one in which evidence can actually be used to test whether one answer is better than another.

> "Good aesthetic design isn't "beneath" anything"

I didn't say it was, however if I'm picking up a technical book I'm not fussed what the cover looks like, because I'm already motivated to learn the information contained in the book. It's best if that motivation to learn exists before someone picks up a technical book. If it doesn't the chances of getting through the book are slim to none, regardless of what the cover looks like.
Its an interesting take on the problem, but it seems a bit exagerated that taking on a completely new identity in a different country is a lot easier than hunting down and deleting some old accounts.
It depends what you're doing as to whether the CPU is enough, but RAM is still a frequently-cited constraint in the laptop world. Obviously with the immense rise in popularity of laptops, mobile CPUs are now 'fast enough' and have been for a while, but when you do need the grunt, desktops are nice. I imagine most developers these days have 'forgotten' how nicely desktops perform, simply due to lack of access.

My own anecdata: I work in two places, one where I have a 'nice' laptop (some old-but-beefy Alienware thing) and one where I have a 'nice' whitebox desktop. When I'm on the desktop, I find that I'm not keeping my computer's limitations in mind as I do my work, whereas on the laptop I do. It's not at the forefront of my mind, but it's there to some degree. Before I moved to the Alienware (16G ram), I was on an 8G laptop, and I had daily issues with that constraint - even though all I used daily were terminals, about 15-20 browser tabs[1], and maybe a screencap program.

Then I go home and play games, and in that realm, laptops really are the middle-child if the game has any GPU or CPU heft (though again, laptops have the benefit of portability).

> your insurance rates would go down if all your health info were made public and the insurance provider was allowed to factor that in, right?

It's already happening, the only difference being that it's the people rather than insurance providers that make those decisions. Healthy young people do not buy insurance (because they will pay more in premiums than amount of healthcare they consume), premiums go up because average remaining customer needs more healthcare, etc. In the limit premiums are sky high and nobody has insurance. That's why universal health care makes sense.

The key difference is that people have little control over their health, but a lot more control over how much they work, how much they spend, and whether they pay their bills on time.

Lexical comparison is only used when 2 writes happen at the exact same time.

Yes, it is a very basic hybrid vector/lexical/timestamp CRDT. The naive-ness of it is also its power, because it has strong eventually consistent guarantees.

However, it is intended to be the base case. You can build your own custom CRDTs on top to handle more specific business logic. For instance adding a DAG, a ledger, a simple linked list, etc. gun's default algorithm is not a silver bullet but it does "just work" out of the box for many web cases. See more here: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/Conflict-Resolution-with-G... .

Please especially read about our CAP tradeoffs (see the sidebar on the wiki).

Finally, it should be noted that because gun uses a graph data structure, JSON.stringify only ever applies to atomic primitive values (not complex/compound objects). So it is safe to apply (it is NOT safe to apply to complex objects).

There are a lot of disillusioned people stuck in dry, stale occupations, waiting out retirement, loathing most of their day, and tasked with things like: teaching rude kids that even though fucking without a condom is as hot as it gets, please don't do it, because none of you are capable of realizing how fertile you are, and how easy it actually is to get pregnant, and how motivated teenage boys really are toward blowing their load without pulling out.

The only thing that really teaches this lesson is watching a few of the dumber ones accidentally make an example of themselves.

But the nightmare of banal domesticity is only truly driven home once high school and/or college are fully complete. That's the moment when someone might wonder whether they'd have been facing hell, no matter what happened in high school, or if they might still have a substantial portion of their lives ahead of them.

Either way, the experience of a teen pregnancy tends to be an unlucky one, but that's not assured. It might not be terrible, but usually isn't the primary motive teenagers have for getting laid.

How does one teach lessons such as these, without enraging the parent/teacher association?

Euclid: if 2^n-1 is prime, then (2^n-1) * 2^(n-1) is the sum of all its proper divisors (and clearly even).

Euler: If an even number is the sum of all its proper divisors, then it has the form (2^n-1) * 2^(n-1), where 2^n-1 is prime.

You don't need to give a full history lesson every time, but if you omit the people that came up with this, and the fact that it happened about two thousand years apart, you're needlessly ditching precious magic. Some historical gems take away little class time and make mathematics more humane.

Listening to classic music like this is relaxing, I currently listen to things like:

otherwise

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3s3dne0d8Q (this is the piece that made me think I should start listening to classical music more openly. I used to be in jazzfusion, but the piano introduction felt mostly classical in tone and quite beautiful. The rest isn't bad either, strings, bass, guitar... a very nice crescendo)

The argument is that they were not careful because the educational focuses was on the negative consequences rather than on how best to assess/mitigate the risk.

Teenagers in high risk demographics already know what sort of hassle having a baby is because of the example of peers or family members or neighbors. What they're much less familiar with is what they'd be giving up (ie all the life opportunities that they lack the experience to model as available options), and this naive discounting of the future distorts their risk calculus. Rather than working to increase their weighting of the known-negative outcome by saddling them with $700 Tamagotchis, it would probably be more effective to reduce the actual risk with greater focus on contraceptive methods etc.

That's not bookbinding, it's a cheap not-quite-replacement for the real thing. When difficult-to-replace volumes from your personal library start losing pages you see a bookbinder, not your corner photocopying business. University libraries used to have them on the staff, but they seem to have gone the way of the glassblower in the chemistry department. I understand that one can find still find bookbinding shops in strict-orthodox communities, people like to keep their prayer book, even after the original binding has given up.

I feel like it could be a slightly higher amount for every class that the referrer and referee are different, but scrapping the bonus entirely if the the hire isn't 'diverse' (which would vary over time and by company anyway) seems like overkill since the original system is working in other ways

I'm sure the most effective thing to do is to teach them how to have safer sex and to make reproductive healthcare access easier, but I wonder if it will be at all useful to simulate pregnancy. I am not sure I would go through with having kids if I knew what was in store. Being unable to move without pain, not having had a restful night of sleep in 7 months, feeling like I'm constantly hung over for 7 months... everyone jokes about how a baby will wreck me but I'm actually looking forward to birth and dealing with a newborn because at least I'll mostly have my own body back. Pregnancy is wrecking me.
