you still get psychosis after not sleeping for a few days, just like with amphetamine IIRC.

the brain needs sleep, we aren't sure why, but stimulant psychosis does a pretty good job of proving that you start to break down after depriving yourself of sleep. paranoia, hallucinations, etc are all very common with this kind of stimulant abuse where you're keeping your body awake for days at a time.

generally speaking, if you use stimulants (or "wakefulness promoting agents" like modafinil) regularly you should be dosing first thing in the morning after feeding yourself, not re-dosing, eating what you can when you can and sleeping each night as much as possible.

Nice, an article that links to sources in the prrimary scientific literature! Let's see, the link text says "potent immunotoxicants", that's probably a study about the effects of PFAS on the immune system. But no, it's actually some meaningless bullshit about evolution and doesn't even mention the word "fluor" once.

Given that, the term "toxic" is unjustified (it appears that if PFOA is toxic, then so are fatty acids), and so is the claim of "unsafe levels". This is sensationalist bullshit.

> therefore they use MIT/BSD/Apache licensed code as much as possible and rely on what is essentially free labour to maintain that code; they rarely if ever donate.

Lots of permissively licensed software exists that is mainly corporate contributed code, or which is produced by projects which are primarily corporate funded (by corporations which use the code.)

You can't get free maintenance on your code by using permissively licensed open source if what you use diverges to far from what your free labor force has, after all.
I am curious:

Pulp Fiction was one of the first movie that came to my mind as well. It's a beautiful movie (visually), and could be made today for the same cost as it was in 1994.

Looking back at movies from several decades ago, the credit scroll had a few hundred people at most. Now there are a few hundred animators for something like Arrival. Interestingly, Arrival's credits list about the same number of people as Terminator 2. Both excellent movies, but one is small and intimate, and the other grand and explosive - same size crew, much higher balance on visual effects in Arrival vs. practical engineering and effects in T2. Would Arrival have been significantly different or less effective if made with 1991 technology? Probably not.

There was double quotes in your article about Giuliani talking about the "muslim ban", so yes I don't know what that may mean or may not mean and I didn't feel like speculating.

Also I said I don't think it was the right thing to do.

But again I have to say a muslim ban that isn't based on religion really doesn't make sense.
As for region based bans, those are not really new they've been done since Jimmy Carter.
Navigating isn't more complex in native apps, and I didn't mean to imply that. But navigation state may be deeper than flat sets of URIs: it may be a tree.

For example: your app may have a stack of modal screens, and each of those screens may have tabs or a stack, and there may be another tab or stack navigation within each of those. In React Navigation, each node can be a router that manages its own navigation state.
Wow, so many wrong answers in this subthread.

From the execlp manpage:

There is definitely a drift towards staying up later and later, and of course kids and/or work are not forgiving of that trend, so the sleep deprivation starts to accumulate again.

I guess just listening to what your body is telling you and not pushing it, especially if the reason is work (side-project or career), but even just staying up for something trivial like watching a movie or whatever. Maybe I can use a lack of dreams to tell when I've gone too far.
This is because water has a nice correlation of units in SI. 1g water = 1 cubic cm = 1 mL, and takes 1 calorie of heat to raise by 1 degree Celsius. (all at atmospheric pressure). See:

> Innovation thrives on the rule of law, independent courts and neutral arbiters of contracts, habeas corpus and due process, the right to a lawyer, and the right to uncoerced testimony.

Those are some of the bare requirements, just like agriculture is a requirement for civilization. Thrive isn't really the right word to describe subsistence living.

Also, it's not even clear whether they're requirements. We should be wary about confusing correlation with causation. The UK enjoys those things only at the pleasure of their elected Parliament. How long do you think those rights would have been maintained in America without a written constitution? Maybe the real requirements are more obscure cultural phenomena, and that there exists a wider universe of systems that could equally undergird widespread wealth creation in the presence of those same cultural forces. Don't discount the path dependent behavior of political evolution.
One of the problems is that people want different things from a "simple document format".

Some want rendering-agnostic structure, like Wiki / Markdown / Org mode, that emphasizes structure and text, with things like links, tags, etc.

Other want to print centered headers on level 1, and left-aligned for level 2, and body text with a particular font, with fragments in a different color, and pictures with text flowing around them, etc.

These two camps command different design goals. A format that makes one of these easy adds complications and edge cases to the other.

The funny thing is, the same people periodically need one tool and the other, and even want to mix them. Many of them would consider having two tools for these jobs superfluous, especially if paid. They'd rather bend an existing tool, because how hard it is to add spans of colored text? or collapsed sections? It's, like, a hundred lines of code!

Hence the modern office formats, tolerably doing a huge spectrum of things, none of them brilliantly, and hopelessly complicated.

This gets it backwards, doesn't it? Surely the numbers for digital distribution are orders of magnitude better than those for physical distribution.

No, not possible. With the added clarification on the apartment size a laser cutter would have had to have output nearly 1/2 pound of CO. My initial 1.7oz calculation was absurd in thinking that amount of CO could be produced and at 1/2 pound, it's not even worth entertaining.
I think the double quotes you're referring to are a quote for Giuliani quoting what Trump said to him. Compare with the "Put a commission together" quote-in-quote in the next line.
This- very much this. I used to put a tomato cage in a large pot and grow them on my front porch - though I had a shorter growing season. I could put them out in Mid-to-late May. If it was the right variety, they'd keep producing until the plant was killed by frost and cold.

Soil, however, will affect your taste. I really miss good summer tomatoes from Indiana - I knew folks that moved down south and complained about the difference in taste, even when they grew them.

It might lead to people thinking of digital goods as "free", but I don't think that's a bad thing. If a product has already made enough to cover the cost of creation, then I don't see that we have to charge for it anymore. I don't think that means it has to be a race to the bottom though. Things like Kickstarter and Patreon have shown that people are willing to step in and cover the costs for the developer/creator.
Exactly, and there are plenty of existing varieties that taste as they should. The random colors and shapes are part of the fun.

I'd much rather have one heirloom than 4 identical red tomatoes still on a vine sold in a plastic box.
Local filesystem interface to files which exist "only" on the cloud is basically the way Keybase FS operates. If this is a "killer feature" for you, consider giving it a try. The downsides at the moment are (a) alpha software, and (b) 10 gig limit. It is free though, very convenient, and does a lot of things "right" (by my way of thinking).

1. One time operations like that are run at module init time. Here's a trivial example: https://github.com/fission/fission/blob/master/examples/pyth...

2. We don't support Java yet, but we'd like to. The JVM would already be running by the time there's a request, so there won't be a JVM startup in the request path.

3. Dev workflows: Lots to do on that front. A big part of our roadmap is improving the dev workflow, better versioning support, CI/CD.

For running locally, yes, the best way is to run a local Kubernetes instance on your machine. minikube makes it very easy to do that, see the instructions in the README: https://github.com/fission/fission#setup-kubernetes

Honestly, not a bad idea when you think about it. It seems strange that we're still use word processors/pdfs in an increasingly post-paper world.

Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovers the most extreme blazars yet
"The contamination of drinking water in Hoosick Falls is an example of the shortcomings of the UCMR3 program. As part of the UCMR program, all large public water supplies that serve over 10,000 residents, and a small percent of smaller public water supplies, are required to conduct water testing. Most smaller public water supplies and private wells are not required to conduct water testing as part of the UCMR program. The public water supply in Hoosick Falls serves less than 10,000 residents, so it was not required to conduct testing for PFOA as part of the UCMR program, nor were residents in the area who relied on private wells."

I can add that we're also following several other communities with PFAS contamination issues, like Newburgh, NY; Bennington, VT; and Pease, NH.

Can you provide some evidence for that claim? I know that perfluoro compounds degrade very slowly and accumulate in fatty tissue, but I haven't seen a supported claim about harmful effects. From the misleading links in the article, I suspect more than a few people confuse PFAS and PCBs.

>"A whole new layer of public policy institutions and media outlets feeds off and disseminates the half-baked ideas. There's never any time or energy to winnow the chaff. And so it's effectively poisoning the social and political culture."

Can you name one cultural meme that's emerged from academia in the last 10 years? I certainly can't. I simply don't think academic debates have that great a cultural impact in our modern society, regardless of this increased vigor you're referring to.

On the other hand, I can think of recent cultural memes that have emerged from the political sphere, pushed by a diverse range of people (from corporate interests to grass roots activists). Very few politically active people seem to be waiting around for answers from academia, they've got their own agendas to push.
If the goal is to test the extent that checks and balances can be circumvented/authoritarianism implemented, then showing up in protest is absolutely effective, especially when it pressured CBP officials to follow the court order. At airport protests, the illegality of the order and executive coup when the courts were not complied with was a huge, huge focus.
If I understand correctly, I'd rather have cavities than cancer.

That is: Flouride is supposed to help prevent tooth decay. This stuff, on the other hand, "has been linked to" cancer (how strongly, I'm not sure). But if warning about a cancer-causer kills flouridation as collateral damage, well, I prefer that to the other way around (not doing anything about the cancer-causer to protect people's teeth).
Oh, this is definitely false. I'm in Norway, and I'm loathe to buy fresh tomatoes because they are usually mushy. It is no wonder my Norwegian spouse rarely likes fresh tomatoes.

The abstract:

>We test a class of holographic models for the very early Universe against cosmological observations and find that they are competitive to the standard cold dark matter model with a cosmological constant (ΛCDM) of cosmology. These models are based on three-dimensional perturbative superrenormalizable quantum field theory (QFT), and, while they predict a different power spectrum from the standard power law used in ΛCDM, they still provide an excellent fit to the data (within their regime of validity). By comparing the Bayesian evidence for the models, we find that ΛCDM does a better job globally, while the holographic models provide a (marginally) better fit to the data without very low multipoles (i.e., l≲30), where the QFT becomes nonperturbative. Observations can be used to exclude some QFT models, while we also find models satisfying all phenomenological constraints: The data rule out the dual theory being a Yang-Mills theory coupled to fermions only but allow for a Yang-Mills theory coupled to nonminimal scalars with quartic interactions. Lattice simulations of 3D QFTs can provide nonperturbative predictions for large-angle statistics of the cosmic microwave background and potentially explain its apparent anomalies."

So, basically, the holographic models seem to be pretty good, in the areas where it is perturbative (roughly l>30), it appears to fit slightly better than the current theories ("lambda CDM" models). The paper can rule out some of the holographic models because they don't fit the data, while other models fit great. Finally, the non-perturbative holographic models (roughly l<=30) might be able to be made to fit the data better if they are not calculated in a perturbative sense.

This seems to be pretty close to what the article says...

Hi Matt, I'm the author of the project. The reason I wrote it is because I have a 12 year old C# project that's creaking at the seams from the issues of OO development. I believe OO becomes cognitively very difficult when a project reaches a certain scale. Functional programming allows my brain to manage complexity much better.

I couldn't just jump ship and use F#, Haskell, or Erlang; so I decided to bring what I'd learned from those languages into C#, and create a library that will help me write better C# code.

My mission is to create a library that reduces the cognitive burden of writing C#. It isn't a functional manifesto for C#, it just looks like it because I've found that's the best way to achieve my goals.

The Process system (Erlang style actors) is there to deal with the 'edges' of functional code. It's not possible to be pure like in Haskell, and so you will have stateful code - with all the problems that come with it, i.e. shared memory, locks, mutability, etc. Actors allow a certain amount of control that you don't get from C# classes: Single-threaded and no-shared state. They can be distributed anywhere and the mechanism for interaction is the same. You can build in routing or proxying to do load-balancing, etc.

I'm not sure the logical response to the failings in Flint is to throw out the EPA and other "massive" government agencies. I haven't followed the situation closely but my understanding is that multiple levels of government failed the people of Flint (and continue to fail people in other areas with similar water quality issues) due to politics, funding, and the complex nature of the crisis.

Replacing aging infrastructure needs to be a national priority and will take many decades. Until that is complete we need a strong agency that monitors hazards and enforces compliance regulations - access to clean drinking water (and clean air) should not be a partisan issue. Instead we have a President who appears to believe that the solution to "Democrats didn't do anything to help Flint" (my fake news alarm bells are ringing....) is to gut the EPA and pass ridiculous laws like "for every new regulation we need to remove two".
The EPA and other regulators have been hamstrung by republicans since their inception and then when they don't do everything perfectly republicans love to show how the EPA, SEC or whoever aren't doing their job. Republicans sabotage these regulators and don't provide adequate funding. It's sabotage. "The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." - P.
