It's not possible to get an elephant to preform extremely unnatural tricks without beating it with a bullhook.

If you don't believe they use them just look at pictures of the shows. The handlers are holding bullhook. Here's some pics - http://www.thedodo.com/the-one-simple-reason-you-shou-604357...

In fact the main reason elephants were retired from Ringling Bros in the first place was because cities were making handling elephants using bullhooks illegal. That prevented Ringling Bros from ever preforming in certain cities again if they kept the elephant acts. More and more cities were joining on and then the entire state of California made handling elephants with bullhooks illegal. California, Population: 38.8 million. Ringling could have either given up California or given up the elephants, they picked California.

Even if they weren't beaten with bullhooks, a circus environment doesn't come close to meeting an elephant's needs.
Personally, I've accepted our apocalyptic doom, and decided to increase my carbon footprint as much as possible. Some people just want to watch the world burn. Literally.
What the avocado said, you only need to be better than random chance, even a small bit and you can slowly grow a principal investment over time.

It isn't a whole lot different than an FFT which pickts apart frequency components, HFT algorithms amplify correlation and dampen noise. Then they trade on the correlated signal against the affected securities in an anticipation of the correlated signal's effect.

If correlation was equal to causation they would be 100% effective at making lots of money, but that isn't. So to the extent that the algorithm identifies a correlation that is close enough, it makes money. But it can be crazy like 'sunny days in Paris' is correlated with higher shopper volume in at 'The GAP' and as the sunny days begin to pile up the algorithm buys GAP shares and as the sunny days decline it can sell off GAP shares.

That example we can imagine that people think about buying new clothes when it is sunny but the algorithm doesn't care what the correlation is, just that it has a strong probabilistic link to the changing value of a security. Nothing magical about it.
Yes you are right about the subsidies, they have been around for the major part of the last 15-20 years. So chances are, they will continue to be a driving force which no new elected government will want to 'cut' (financially and politically impractical).
There's a lot of work inside an AAA title. Most of it isn't programming. Back in the 1990s, the big problem was technical - building an engine that could handle a big complex world. That's mostly solved. Now it's mostly large amounts of artwork, plotting, sound, character movement, and construction. That takes lots of hours.

As for "spurn the computer game industry", that should apply to jobs. The working conditions are terrible. They need to be unionized, like Hollywood.
Not sure why the downvotes for this; maybe it was the way it was said? Ultimately, I feel that conservation that balance some of the local interests in mind will run into much fewer problems than those that don't.

I also feel that you need some of the natural habitat to remain humanly accessible, in part so that people can experience nature and thus get behind preservation efforts. Creating walled off territory where no one but a few Specially Approved Scientists and deep backpackers can enter does not seem to be the best way to build public support. For portions of land, it may be necessary (hence the wilderness preserve designation in many places) but for much of the land, there is a fine balance between preservation and accessibility.

Safari parks are imperfect but in my opinion fall into this category. Even in the US, the politics of parks can be contentious. (http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/storie...) I can only imagine what a developing country would be like.

That said regarding an earlier comment, I don't view all zoos as 100% horrible these days. A lot are making genuine efforts to try and improve animal welfare as much as possible.
>Most commercial computer games require very powerful computers. This means that a less-wealthy person cannot play online games with their more-wealthy friends. This is especially a problem for young people, for whom gaming is an important social activity.

This. I'd love to try out a variety of fun Half-Life 2 or Quake 3 mods (which all work just fine on an old, low-end laptop running Linux), but everyone I could conceivably play them with is too preoccupied with Overwatch, Battlefront, Call of Duty 36, or whatever closed-server, walled-platform, resource-intensive game came out within the past year or two. Open Arena? These graphics look old, it must suck.
That gear is down. The trucks are designed to hang at an angle like that.
Of course I _can_ publish to my own website, and I do, with my code in git, data available... etc. Though, even if _I_ am the author, I give away the rights of the final form, meaning that I am not allowed to publish the exact figures and form of the paper I publish, and have to redo them with enough change to be different.

Also _I_ review for these journal _for free_ with ridiculous timeline (review that for tomorrow), and _I_ also have to find a place to host the dataset and code, potentially pay for it. And when I pay $3k for a paper to be Open Access and it still cost $35 to read I'm wondering where is this money going to ?

If the journal were to offer the kind of services and actual guaranties that you mention, then I would be fine to pay more.

But that's far from being the case, and even in top journals you end up having to send corrections for changes made by clueless editors. During my PhD we had to complain as the final version of our paper "A 1mW IR laser..." was changed to "A laser (model 1mW-IR)..." without or consent, or even writing to us.

And you know what, even if it was the journal fault we ended up paying for the correction.

I have a 4k monitor, and it's really not much different than a 1440p monitor in terms of real estate because of the UI scaling...so I ended up getting a second 1440p monitor which I use in portrait mode. Portrait mode really is pretty amazing for reading code.
True that almost no one knows how or why, but about 50% get it right by chance. I had the same experience as you.
It's not that academics are not a useful precursor to work, but that the academy and the company are evaluating people on apparently orthogonal metrics. Which in itself is a really interesting result.
I would second this: also about 2 weeks. Interestingly I came from a JavaScript background so I'm guessing it was different aspects of the language that felt unfamiliar.

Why does it matter if games are free software?

I don't see why they should free as in beer - developers need to get paid.

As for being open source, it depends on why you think that’s important. To me, the goals of open source are:

- Make sure that you aren't building your business on top of proprietary software. This isn’t relevant for gamers.

- To increase the productivity of all software developers. This is achieved by open source engines.

The author might as well say that we shouldn't use any proprietary platforms (like, say, Hacker News).
I saw this in the store on the weekend. The bike is very very heavy. All well and good if you live in Holland but if you don't, this is an expensive sea anchor. (I commute every day on a bike worth less than fifty bucks and ride 5k a year on my road bike).
When you say "low level stuff", what do you picture?
Noise is a great protocol. It used to actually be only one protocol (when it was first being worked out a few years ago), and I implemented a very shitty version of it then. Since then, it's now evolved to be a set of protocols, and it's much more robust now. (You should be able to rewind the git history and see what changed.)

I've been thinking of trying my hand at something like writing a new implementation of the modern protocol, but I have no need for a truly general one supporting every agreement/primitive set, since I'd rather just implement one, exact Noise protocol. Plus, it'd probably be easier to wait for TLS 1.3 to hit libressl and just use libtls, then. Maybe one day, though...

EDIT: Actually, I remember at one point, I had a early version of the original Noise protocol called "TweetNoise" that I tried to fit into 100 tweets, based on TweetNacl. That was fun. I think I got it finished but never released it. Unfortunately my laptop with the SSD holding that code had its fan die after Christmas, so I can't be sure until next week.

If anyone would like to still do this with the new noise, it'd probably be fun. :)
Would a implementation in Erlang be useful?
Would you not be better off to upload it somewhere instead? Assuming your relative lives close enough, a natural disaster would destroy all your backups.
The self-censorship in this thread is insane. I've noticed at least two (valid) comments now that have been deleted due to downvotes.

1101 West isn't even built yet, and nobody has been living at 100 Moffett for more than a month. These seem like odd choices for your examples. But yes, these are better than what we had. Within 1000 feet of the train station there are chiefly 1-story buildings and parking lots. Replacing just that zone with dwellings over retail would transform Mountain View into a place worth visiting.
Thankfully he does.
Seems pretty simple to me. Cereals are vastly different from one another. They taste different, and so everyone is going to average to like one more then the others, and it won't be the same one for everyone. Also, when it comes to food, you get bored of the same thing over and over again, so every customer will buy a different one once in a while.

So with Cereals, the thing customers want isn't too feed themselves, but to enjoy the particular flavours of a specific cereal.

With airlines, people just want to go from A to B. It's not about the experience. So obviously all that matter is price and convenience. Same thing for ridesharing.
Speaking only for myself, I'm not surprised at all about this. I use Lyft exclusively, the app is much better than Uber and I've had much better experiences with the drivers (possibly just by chance).

I'm eagerly awaiting the day when we have fully autonomous self-driving electric cars and fares fall through the floor. It seems that this should be much cheaper than the current system of drivers and gasoline powered cars, although time will tell if the savings are passed on to customers.

It's very exciting to me. I don't like to drive.
You are correct, I can point to countless articles showing what they have done without actually using them. Blatant design and OS ripoffs is what I can take away from it.

for me is a symptom that he simply can't finish it alone

It's tough to be a finisher, in just about anything. The Bible calls the concept of finishing "perseverance". So whether it is running a race, a personal project, spiritual patience... it's just tough to finish anything.

You get to that point where you've got most of the validation you wanted from doing something, but there's still energy to be invested or an obstacle to overcome.

I think the art of finishing lies in realizing that what is of true value is the doing of the work... Not so much the outcome or end goal that you desire from the work, but the faithful daily investment of energy towards that goal... That's what really matters, because if we're honest, we don't really control whether or not we finish something.
For me, dual monitors are a must. Just my preference. I cannot work with a single monitor no matter what the resolution is.

One advantage of dual monitors is that if you ever have to do screen sharing, you can quickly hide anything on the other monitor that you don't want your clients to see while still being able to refer to it. Same goes if you are recording your screen/screecasting.
Programming with or without WYSIWIG?

Before you shell out more money, are you sure the problem cannot be solved by better keybinds and/or a better UI?

A TV has lower refresh rate and higher ms thereby increasing input lag. This is especially annoying during gaming.

I use a 15,4" MBP with 2880 x 1800 resolution. Without the keybinds I use it'd be a hell though.

On work we use 3x 27" monitors. But I could easily work with two (due to WYSIWYG) or one (if no WYSIWYG).
>> arguments to authority are damaging

Yet that's what you were doing in the first place when you said "I am a cryptographer", hence my interest.

And it looks like our definitions of what a cryptographer is are different, yours appears to be more like "Software engineer with some knowledge of crypto" in which case, you shouldn't refer to yourself as a "cryptographer" the same way a dentist with some knowledge of general surgery shouldn't refer to him/herself as a "surgeon".

UWP is a sandbox. I wouldn't call that native. You can't even do any sort of local IPC with it if your other process is Win32.

Furthermore:

- You can't run a UWP as Administrator.

- A UWP app has less access to the system and user data.

- You can't develop a UWP app that has in-process plugins.

- You can't hook into a UWP app like you can with actual native Win32 apps, to send keys, hook keys or do screen overlays.

In summary, UWP is full of artificial limitations and that's why nobody is building on it. I'm looking forward to the day when Microsoft announces that UWP is either going away or being pulled out of it's sandbox. Then I'll consider using it.

I find a 40 inch 4k monitor perfect to code on.

4k@40" offers about the same ppi as a 27" at 1440p if scaling 1:1. So about the ideal text size imo, and obviously plenty of space to spread your code out.

Its also easy to work off completely one side while doing something unrelated in the other - atm I have a twitch stream and a browser on one side and an IDE on the other where I'm casually coding. Splitting the screens like this give you a better aspect ratio to read off than having 2 smaller monitors.
I've had 40' 4k for about 3 years, it's awesome. I had to mess around with setup because larger screen changed way I worked with stuff. But man, i can see from column A to EP and around 400 pdf pages (really small text).

Agreed 100%. Just got a new Mac setup (MBP w/ Touchbar and 27" LG Ultrafine 5k). Single cable that carries video, power, data is epic.

You can scale the UI, but the monitor just so pleasant at 1/4 effective res. Embrace cmd + tab. And tmux.
You are way out of line. LVH has formal postgrad academic cryptography training, in addition to being in fact a practicing cryptographer.

Surely it would have an unacceptable performance impact. Probably you'd need to run the matching in the GPU to get anything remotely useful, and you would literally kill battery life.
I remember using the original keyboard productivity extension for Firefox, "hit-a-hint"[1] back in Firefox 1 & 2. Since discovering vimperator after, it has been an essential extension on par with an ad blocker. However, I found it consistently broke on new releases of Firefox and could take months to fix. Pentadactyl wasn't any better in this regard. For example, the current extension page says it only works up to Firefox 38! I eventually switched to the less powerful extension VimFX[2] that can run on newer versions of Firefox. It has more than 90% of what you use in vimperator: movement, hints, and tab management. And really, things like the vimperator extension bar were made for a time before the awesome bar, which can now do things like completions, searching with keywords, and switching focus to other bookmarks or tabs. It will be sad to see it go when Firefox finally deprecates XUL based extensions, it's like a piece of history!

So how well does number 3 really work? Is the experience similar to Linux and Bash in the way that you can do everything in the console.
I own https://www.DomainDetect.io, we pull new domains from Zone files/3rd party sources daily. ~200,000-400,000 domains per day to alert on new phishing sites for businesses. So we do something similar. I would start with something like https://czds.icann.org/en attempting to resolve them asyncronously in your country, then work your way through the new daily additions. Use an ElasticSearch/Cassandra backend for speed to query that volume of information.

Your problem will come from the countries/TLD's that dont play ball with their zone files. These are trickier to obtain.
Why?

You develop tolerance to exercise, is that not healthy?

If you've never done squats before, go do a couple reps. You probably will be sore and stiff for the next 4 days. Keep it up and one will develop a tolerance and (generally) have a healthier body than if one didnt do any kind of exercise.

>> - Do not compromise with others in coorporation. Ask for script for everything. If sysadmin tells you that server is low on disk you ask for proof in the form of the command you can execute. Ask for invoke-sql when using databases. If you give admin a job to create a IIS site for your web app ask for a script. If you are a project manager, do not close tickets without a script.

Yeah, I don't know. In another comment here I describe how I used to work in a workplace where nobody wanted to learn to use powershell. I was a junior dev at the time and it really wasn't easy for me to convince people of the need to use specific tools. I had enough problems as it was (some folks kicked up a fuss because I didn't smile when I spoke to them; I got a BRF, what can I do?) (and screw that anyway).

So I learned to use psh and used it to make my work easier, and it did miracles for my self-esteem and my self-confidence (which had taken a very bad turn after I first joined that company).

I've also had to bypass thick-headedness in colleagues in other organisations, and even jump through some hoops like connecting to the internet through proxies and restricting what can be installed on a machine etc.

Sometimes, you just have to be flexible, and trying to convince everyone that your way is better is not flexible. If your way really is better- go ahead and do your thing, and ask for forgiveness later, rather than permission now.

But, to be fair- all the stuff you say about using psh to make your job easier, it's all true. invoke-sql in particular, it's gold.
