As someone who grew up on paper books, but at one time bought an e-reader, my 2 cents:

Ereaders will likely never be as good as the best paper books. However, they can be better than many printed books. I've owned printed books with poor bindings, poor typesettings, poor quality paper. The ereader was definitely better than those.

On the whole spectrum of quality of published (paper) books, I would rank my ereader to be right smack in the middle.

Then there's the obvious: Ereaders are much more practical on a plane, etc. My first one was 5 inches (which is small - would not recommend). It fit in my jacket pocket. Any time I was stuck somewhere (e.g. mechanic waiting for my car), it was quite convenient to take it out and read on it.

Finally, years ago I had nasty tendonitis in my arms. Holding a heavy hardbound book and reading was painful. The ereader was my constant companion through those months of pain.

Obviously, I still read printed books, but to me, on the whole, the two are roughly equal.
That version loses the emphasis on recognizing that there are distinct aspects of mathematical intuition. Congratulations! You successfully changed the meaning of the sentence! The intended audience is mathematicians and philosophers, these people can be expected to have full grasp of the English language and to engage with the paper.

I once was working with a horrible boss like that. I'd write a draft of the paper, she would not understand subject or prose and change some sentences into something else, based on her limited understanding of the subject and the prose. It was excruciating. You'd read her draft full of MBA-speak and couldn't make out the meaning of some of it!

You really think there would have been millions of people out protesting? Somehow I doubt it.
Sure there are all the political reasons to wonder. And also, Trump made a lot of specific pledges such as the wall, repealing Obamacare, cutting corporate tax rate. In each case it's easy to say whether it was done or not. So there's more opportunity to do this with him.
This isn't SQL as a body, it's an interpolated (and hopefully properly-escaped) string that ends up being SQL. IMO there's a big difference. (Also, Ecto isn't an ORM, by definition.)

I don't yet understand how this helps me.

* Ecto's DSL is thin

* The DSL is Elixir, so the IDE/editor helps me

* SQL embedded in a string is sort-of SQL, but invisible to the IDE

It seems like the worst of both worlds.
You should check out how SSO (small string optimization) is implemented. size_t is actually the natural choice, because it is shared with the capacity (or with part of the string in the small case).

That's a fair analysis. I guess I was imagining something like a government. For example, the UK one would now be able to see that you're establishing a connection to your VPS IP. However, I don't know if they would then be able to see the connections from there to various hosts back in the UK.
>Fully fund the construction of a wall on our border with Mexico, with the “full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall”. [Pure manchild wish fulfillment]

>Cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities.

>Lift the roadblocks on energy infrastructure projects like the Keystone Pipeline and allow them to move forward.

>Lift the restrictions on $50 trillion dollars’ worth of American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas, and clean coal. [I'm sure Secretary of State Tillerson's Exxon holdings won't benefit from this at all...no sir, this is just to help the public!]

>A hiring freeze on all federal employees (except for the military, public safety, and public health) [Because who needs jobs right? It's not like the Federal gov't is one of the nation's biggest employer and source of good jobs]

>Cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum, and order issued by President Obama. ['unconstitutional' lol]

>Reduce the business tax rate from 35% to 15%.

>An act to allow school choice. [i.e. defund public schools]

No, this is a garbage plan which will strip the public of the property and rights they deserve and basically funnel more money into Trump's and Co's coffers.

I've found that creating systems & not setting up a definite goal (stretch goal) makes the whole act of doing a task or practicing a skill feel little more on auto-pilot - which kills the drive for pushing it little harder. Creating systems towards a set goal has been more sustainable and effective for me

And that's a perfectly valid answer!

But if these people with little/no experience are getting paid higher salaries, it strikes me that ohstopitu is probably being paid under market rates at their current position and there will be companies with smart, sane, kind people and good code bases offering similar (or greater) salaries.

There are dozens of other reasons why it might not make sense to apply for those other jobs, but all of those are decisions and tradeoffs for you to make.

If salary is the overriding concern, it's probably an easy fix.
Great summary, I always think it's best when machine learning projects have visuals and videos to showcase what is actually being learned.

This simple project is a good example of supervised learning from what I can tell - the network will learn to steer "as good as" the human that provides the training data. For a different (and more complex) flavor of algorithm, check out reinforcement learning, where the "agent" (computer system) can actually learn to outperform humans.

For what it's worth -- there are frameworks that allow EXTREMELY granular permission controls. This [0] => http://imgur.com/a/XVulF is what happens when an app tries to access the clipboard and I haven't granted it.

There are steps people can take to maintain the "safety" of their information -- but not many do, instead they complain loudly and hope a first-party will give them the controls instead. This is basically never going to happen.

Using AOSP, CyanogenMod/LineageOS, CopperheadOS builds are one of the first steps. If you (not you, but persons) can't climb over that relatively low barrier, it's likely that they're going to be stuck at the level of complaining loudly until someone provides the equivalent of a pacifier -- something to quiesce, but not actually provide any real controls.

Interesting: I own the same pen, but do not have the issues you listed. Mine is a Medium, but light inks remain light (i.e. the flow is not thick).

If you meant that you want the thickness of the ink to vary with angle, then yes - most modern fountain pens are designed that way. However, they do also make the "italic" type ones.

No, it's not like everyone consciously chooses to be racist, it's just that you sort of learn it subconsciously if you're not really careful.

> Any critical reader can understand, just by reading the article, that the former are allegations which have not been verified.

So let me get this straight: The critical reader should understand that the Washington Post, the US gov, the Economist, Bill Maher[1] (political satirist on HBO) and MANY others, have taken an allegation and build-up an entire case as if it were true BUT somehow when fake news are pro-Trump the critical reader's IQ falls bellow temperature level and he doesn't understand that it's extremely unlikely that the Pope would actively routes towards one candidate over another, for whatever reason? I'm sorry, I'm having hard making sense.

> You provide no justification for this bold statement. Just some hand-waving about distorting reality and hiding facts. By trying to spread this misinformation you are - possibly unwittingly - playing into the hand of those who would prefer the free, independent press to disappear.

Did you read the linked article? Here's the summary:

THERE IS A real danger here that this maneuver could harshly backfire, to the great benefit of Trump and to the great detriment of those who want to oppose him. If any of the significant claims in this “dossier” turn out to be provably false — such as Cohen’s trip to Prague — many people will conclude, with Trump’s encouragement, that large media outlets (CNN and BuzzFeed) and anti-Trump factions inside the government (CIA) are deploying “Fake News” to destroy him. In the eyes of many people, that will forever discredit — render impotent — future journalistic exposés that are based on actual, corroborated wrongdoing.

Respect for free media, yes, absolute respect. Respect for propaganda or fake news from either side? No.

That's what "prelink" did, but IMHO the cure was worse than the disease. prelink would modify all your executables in /usr/bin, breaking them in some cases (for example if they contained any non-standard ELF section). It also required invasive changes in RPM and SELinux. Prelink is dead upstream and was dropped from Fedora a few releases back.
I have got to get back to doing development instead of generalized IT consulting (aka small business support & admin).

I just need to keep reminding myself that crap like this is going on so I don't decide that I really am an impostor, because holy smokes are the stories in here miserable.

And for the record, the first questions should probably be "For the scenario, how often would it be used, how dynamic is the data, and is there additional data that could be used for hinting/prioritization in a depth-first search?" Not that this would matter for a simple programming exercise, but those are things you'd want to know in a real-world scenario where you were needing to do this.
I think it's important to ponder that a PID controller is , in almost every case it is used, a heuristic controller which achieves pretty mediocre performance. Unless the plant is second-order linear system, with constant gains, and maybe some non-constant biasing (what the I term is supposed to handle), a PID controller is theoretically inappropriate, and requires tuning.

The handful of parameters you need to adjust in a PID controller parameterizes a very small class of controllers. For a given control problem, the controller you want might fall outside that class. People try to expand the class of "PID" controllers in all sorts of ways (e.g. anti-windup), but from where I stand it's just hacks on top of hacks.

It makes sense to consider a much wider class of controllers, with many more parameters, to possibly achieve better performance, or at least to avoid having an expert tune some gains in place of collecting bucket-loads of data.
I also found this to be a conundrum for Democrats. Should they hold Donald to his promises and chastise him when he doesn't follow through? Or, should they welcome his failures as said policies would be damaging to the Democratic cause? The answer is probably a little of both, but one wonders if that's the path they truly want to take given how "crossing the isle" is perceived come election day.

I grew up on fountain pens when I lived abroad. When I moved to the US, I stopped. I found notebook paper here not horrible for fountain pen ink. And my pens leaked a lot (cheap Chinese Heros).

Almost two decades later, only a few months ago, I decided to give them another try.

Fantastic stuff. I use a Pilot Metropolitan MR. Medium nib. But one does need to purchase higher quality paper than what you'll find in regular stores. These days I write on Figurare notebooks.

I can't believe I wrote with ballpoints all these years. Fountain pens are so much better. I now look for excuses to take notes on paper.

I do mind mapping extensively, both on paper, and using Mindjet's "mind manager". I use mind mapping to brain dump everything relevant about a project. The free-form approach helps me get stuff down in whatever order my brain decides to bring it to memory. They then get hacked into a logical order, maybe split into separate maps, and get used as an "at a glance" overview, which is great for making sure nothing gets missed during development. Paper is handy for the first cut, or on a bus, in a meeting etc., but the electronic version is better for editing and showing to colleagues and customers.
This is primarily a fun toy problem.

It uses a Raspberry Pi and ~50 lines of code. So I don't think anyone should expect it to do something that's impossible with other approaches.
I've built a few small apps for internal use on Ionic and have now just started implementing the next one in React. It has oddly been a tremendous joy using React, and I think I appreciate it even more after using Angular for a few years.

I get that one of the advantages of React is that you have so much freedom to configure your app or use the exact modules you want. But trying to do that right now has been a downright nightmare. I've spent most of my time resolving dependencies issues or navigating open Github issues trying to get some basic things to work.

The underlying conceptual model is extremely solid, though, so I'm figuring it is well worth it to put up with some of this pain right now as a sort of investment.

I think we wouldn't have seen millions protesting because Trump supporters were overwhelmingly not from cities. Where it is much easier to get hundreds of thousands together.
You may hate the messenger, but some of these are worth getting behind:

- Propose a constitutional amendment that imposes term limits on all members of Congress.

- A five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.

Either way, yea, I doubt there'd be as big of a protest (there would still be a lot, remember the tea party?) because H was an actual rational candidate who may have had some questionable views but didn't insult war heroes, slander entire ethnicities, and brag about sexual assault? It's pretty obvious why Trump is unpopular and why people are protesting him. I don't really see the point of your comment other than to stir up nothing.

Encryption could be offered without certification authorities that charge huge sums for certs. And there's a link on /new right now about Symantec which continues to reinforce how relying on CAs is a broken concept.

So, right now, I have 24/7 American-based phone support (this is a must-have), 99.9% uptime guarantee, WHM/cPanel software licensing included, 60 GB disk space, 600 GB bandwidth included. By all means, if you have a VPS service that can offer all of this at less than $30 a month, I'd love to consider it. I haven't changed hosting providers in a while, but I haven't found a company capable of meeting the requirements.

What's this "we" business? Are you volunteering for the job? There's not many people willing to work on such systems because there's obvious moral problems with them, and this means that the people you can get to work on them are probably not the most competent people around. I don't really see a solution for this. Either you force the "best and brightest" to leave Silicon Valley and go to someplace they don't want to live and work on WMDs that they are morally opposed to (doesn't sound like a recipe for quality work to me), or you have not-so-competent people working on them (also not a recipe for quality work). Maybe we should be rethinking our use of these things. Of course, that's not going to happen; our leaders insist on having them (and now want many more of them apparently), and the half of the population that voted for these leaders want them too (even though they're not smart enough to build them themselves).

Whether you are a Trump supporter or not, it's difficult to suggest that he is not radically different than other politicians and tremendously polarizing. Some see that as a sign of much needed change and other see it as a potential threat to democracy. Clinton was seen as largely a continuation of politics as normal so it would seem unlikely that there would have been large protests - perhaps more Tea Party protests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests) or an increased presence at the existing standing conservative marches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_for_Life_(Washington,_D.... etc).

> However if it is so probable that you have implicit bias against non-white people I would ask why is it a bad thing to try and change that?

It's because most people by default adhere to a toxic combination of virtue ethics and retributive justice. Under that system, if you do bad things, the obligation isn't on you to improve yourself and your actions, but on others to make you suffer because you are a "bad person". People don't want to suffer, so they reject the initial premise.

Virtue ethics has its positives, but retributive justice needs to die in a fire.
