Good point on PUFA, that was probably worth making it into my conclusion too.

In my home cooking I've started using macadamia nut oil (similar profile to olive oil, it's high in monounsaturated fats) in place of vegetable oil. You can get it on Amazon and it has a more neutral, slightly nutty flavor and a higher smoking point than olive oil, so it's great for slightly higher temps or cooking foods that you don't want to taste like olive oil.
I'd question why it wasn't GitLab but after the recent outage it would somewhat be in bad taste. :P

what exactly was Python using before/where was it hosted? all I can find are the source archives on python.org. I'm assuming this wasn't a hard transition but I'm genuinely curious as to their development strategy regarding distribution of source.

It's not really any clearer to me. I cannot generalize my understanding of exponents to anything that deals with imaginary numbers.
Simple.

Make it safe to fail. Then you can do it over and over and call it "iterating". Measure your metrics and improve them.

That's how you get repeatable success.

My idea is to just hand over the password, which is 'asdf'. If the password fails it's because whoever is in possession of the computer has already logged on and changed the password -- no longer my responsibility.
Anyone who tries, fails at some point.

Realize that you can't learn and grow unless you try. The only real failure is not trying.

I like this short little commercial... sums up "failure" just right.

* Failure: The Secret to Success - A Honda Documentary - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOVig5H7UbM

You win or you learn. Stop thinking about it like a bad thing.

Specifics?

* Do team reviews after every release. Do more formal reviews every quarter. If you aren't writing and reading pages of opinions on what is going well or what isn't... how would you learn? Blindly following orders is a great way to not win and not learn. Engage. Don't keep people on the team who aren't opinionated and engaged.

* Keep a journal. Review it every so often. Be clear with your goals, take stock of what went right and what didn't. You'll get some right, you'll get some wrong... keep trying. Every week you get some wins... and some losses... acknowledge the small things that build up to make larger things.

* Talk with other people doing similar work. (Don't bitch to friends or coworkers about personal issues... Talk with a shrink for that.) Strive to learn and master all you can about what you set out to do. If you're doing it alone in your basement... not going to conferences, not going to meet-ups, ... it's going to take you longer to optimize. Look for opportunities to "fail" where it won't matter... small side projects, lectures, meet-ups etc. Learn from others, strive to teach others what you learned. Talking it out is a great way to "test" ideas to prevent failure.

Frankly, despite initial campaign promises during his first campaign, hes been as bad or worse than the GWB administration in a number of ways. Why he got a pass on a lot of it is beyond me.
If your thing is successful, would the world be a better place? If so, launch it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about if it doesn't get traction.

If not, don't launch it. Getting traction in that scenario wouldn't constitute a success or benefit anyone.

Also, the idea of products blowing up overnight is basically a myth. No matter how good your thing is, expect no one to use it for quite a while.
My town had a recent dustup over prohibiting AirBnB, some people claimed that it was against zoning regulations, the town attorney and planning and zoning looked into it and decided it was beyond their power to regulate tenure, or the length of a lease.

Short term rentals are considered residential use in my town, and they make up the backbone of the local economy. A public forum was called and almost two hundred locals, many of whom have lived here for decades, spoke in favor.

Only two cranks got up and spoke against. There reasons were all about hypothetical harms and imagined worst case scenarios.

My town is a popular vacation destination for families and weddings. There are about 200 short term rentals and the two opponents were unable to come up with any actual examples of misbehavior, there was not one noise complaint, prostitution, drug use or any other worst case scenarios trotted out against AirBnB. There was a recent prostitution arrest at a local hotel though.

The difference between AirBnB and hotels, is that AirBnB runs an extensive criminal and sex offender background check on hosts and guests. They even check the terrorist watch list!

One opponent at first tried to say that an AirBnB house was hosting loud parties on weekends, and people were drunkenly sleeping in their cars and knocking on their windows. The newspaper ran this story prominently. It turned out it was the owner's young adult children that were throwing the parties when it wasn't rented to families on AirBnB.

My state has struck a deal with AirBnB to collect occupancy tax directly and we are contributing a lot in taxes in a state with a budget crisis.

Homes and rentals are still abundant and affordable, and our town gets all kinds of cool visitors that enrich our town.

I love AirBnB, my town has been doing vacation rentals for a hundred years but it has made it more popular and better. The new visitors are supporting a bunch of nice new and more upscale restaurants and bars. It's really revitalized this town and made it a much for fun place for young professionals to live.

Short term rentals started the revitalization, then new eateries opened, and next I hope we can attract a few tech companies now that we are a more desirable place to live.
My wife and I used the UK for a base last summer for a European tour. Big mistake: it doesn't matter which airport you're flying into: the lines are 80 miles long at LHR, the border agents at LGW look like it's 4:45PM on Friday no matter the day of the week, and a bottle of water costs 3 GBP at LCY.

We could have avoided all of this idiocy by simply moving our base of operations to a Schengen country -- no internal border checks, halfway competent security personnel and less stress overall.

Pity -- London was not terrible once you got into it.

Addiction. Mental willpower. Emotional connections to food.

If you can't start tracking calories and reducing intake yourself, then you should probably seek professional help. One issue is that many people don't see it as a health or lifestyle problem, and make endless excuses for why they can't possibly lose weight, ignoring advice from medical professionals.
"Some people can pack away thousands of calories a day and be fine"

They are almost certainly not packing thousands of calories a day, everyday. Most of these people who you see eating a lot occasionally probably have very controlled and disciplined diets most of the time (whether that control comes easily to them or with great struggle is a different matter).

But it is simply not true that you can eat at significant net caloric surplus _regularly_ without gaining weight.

Ah I see, that makes more sense. If you had two NVIDIA GPUs while one of them was passed through to a guest then I think that problem may still exist.

However if you only have one nvidia gpu (and have a different kind of gpu for display), then I think simply running "sudo rmmod vfio" "sudo modprobe nvidia" would work.
Agreed 100%
I don't agree with everything the NRA or it's members support... there isn't an alternative organization that is working to protect second amendment rights that I'm aware of. The ACLU specifically takes a back seat on the issue and points to the NRA.

Frankly, the NRA has plenty of money behind it.. but I feel that it's important to protect civil liberties spelled out by the constitution and implied under the 10th amendment.

Thank you for the clarification. I was told by my manager that new projects could only be written in the three above-mentioned languages so I was just going by that. And yes I was part of the Clojure lobby haha.

I really do hope they streamline a bit of the bloat in tech. It's a real shame. So many dev hours wasted in meetings. So many PMs who know more about the intricacies of Kanban and JIRA ticketing but nothing about the product. There's a lot of talent there, though. I think it can be done.

> non homogenized (yes it makes a difference. In taste and texture and arguably healthier)

Could you elaborate on this? What's the argument for non-homogenized milk being healthier?

Per Wikipedia: "The fat in milk normally separates from the water and collects at the top. Homogenization breaks the fat into smaller sizes so it no longer separates, allowing the sale of non-separating milk at any fat specification."

I just don't understand how smaller fat particles are less healthy than large ones at the top (apart from perhaps the liquid milk being fattier, in which case you can simply buy milk with less fat).

Once autonomous driving works well, I see no reason why cars can't scream along I-5 at twice the current speed, too. So five hours could become three and a bit, door to door.

They could even autonomously draft behind each other for maximum efficiency. Cars could be designed with high speed drafting aerodynamics in mind. With that, a line of cars might actually be more energy efficient than a high speed train running at typical occupancy levels, or at least competitive.
I like that metaphor. Encrypting data isn't so much like locking it in a safe as it is hiding it somewhere in the key space. The safe metaphor breaks down because you can drill a hole in the safe to see if there is anything inside. But you can't prove that some encrypted data exists any more than you can prove that a particular item is sitting around somewhere on Earth.
Because the implementation effectively just gave the insurers a locked market.

Want a real ACA do what most of the world did - take profit out of the healthcare business.

Put in a 5 year plan that insurers have to convert to non for profit orgs.

Single payer won't work in the US most of the world doesn't use it but has some sort of hybrid system.
The common ground is that private providers are often non for profit or have to invest a substnetial percentage of their profit back into health services they provide for free or at highly discounted rates.
And non for profit doesn't mean they can't make money it just means they don't pay dividends to shareholders and invest their profits back into healthcare.

I'm not saying that governments don't have a place. Enforcing the law (including judicial sentencing), providing a common defense, and ensuring essential infrastructure are top among them.

I'm not entirely in favor of governments competing with business... or propping them up. They should only interfere when there is a lack of opportunity to compete, either with unfair practices, or coercion.

Also, is there something wrong with capitalism? Note: that what we have is not really or nearly a free market, and that patent/copyright protections really need to be adjust to move in that direction.
I think that's pretty much what Intel said at first, way back when, but they had to replace all those CPUs anyway.
Ever lived near a busy level crossing? Passing trains may simply make the floors shake; train horns are deafening. You don't just hear them, you feel them in the core of your body. If you building is not well soundproofed, or you have any windows open for ventilation, you have no hope of sleeping through the night. Passing airplanes are background noise, passing trains refuse to be ignored.

Long/slow trains create an impermeable partition in the area, causing huge disruptions to local transportation (even pedestrians). Train tracks are also dangerous, requiring extra supervision of children and claiming the lives of the suicidal/oblivious/reckless every now and then.

If I asked to build something which

- Makes a huge amount of noise as it passes through residential areas at night.

- Disrupts all pedestrian, bicycle, and automobile traffic while it passes.

- Has no hope of stopping for the hazards that can trivially enter its path.

- Will obliterate anything it hits, 100% of the time.

You'd look at me like I was crazy, unless you grew up viewing trains as just part of the landscape.

All the same, I think we should build more of them. But trains are much worse for externalizing costs than airplanes.
Is it a desirable place to live? Or a desirable place to vacation? It sounds like your town was already a destination if it supports 200 short term rentals.

> At the very best, it makes one who advances such an argument look like so completely detached a privacy absolutist as to defend even the vilest of crimes

Oh come on, now who's being hyperbolic. Possession of child porn is clearly not the vilest of crimes, as child molestation is obviously much, much worse. And don't pretend like those are remotely the same.
The inner areas will be more likely to want transit to the endpoints than to each other. Of course having only two stops wouldn't pay for the train but it's probably easier to drive from Bakersfield to Fresno eg and you need a car both places whereas going to LA/SF without a car doesn't present a hassle. If you look at page 43 here on the ridership projections:

http://www.hsr.ca.gov/docs/about/business_plans/2016_Busines...

It looks like about 2/3 or so of the revenue is to either the MTC or SCAG regions, with the remainder dominated by the San Joaquin Valley. So while traffic may not be entirely between the endpoint it is highly concentrated in trips going to and from the endpoints, and for this purpose, driving 30 minutes down a freeway to the train might not be too much of an inconvenience for the residents of Modesto who despite technocrats' brainwashing ambitions will probably still like to drive cars in 2030. Plus they won't complain about a cheaper fare, even if road improvements take another ten years to get in place (the train is the important part).
I suppose if you regard sitting in a seat not being able to move as comfortable.

But before you get too relaxed in that glorious possible future:

1) high speed trains exist and proven - no new science or engineering to figure out

2) autonomous cars are constrained by the realities of space to put the vehicles. Too many vehicles, autonomous or otherwise = congestion and slow travel.

3) At 6 hours, this is nearly twice as long as the train will be.

4) In the autonomous car, you will need to stop for food and bathroom break. The train does not need to stop. So your trip time is extended, especially true with kids.

5) At 3.5 hours, someone can leave for LA at 6am - get to a 10am meeting and return in time for dinner and bed. Not going to happen if each direction takes 5-6 hours.
I don't think this is the case. You're imposing Western values on a Russian offering services in Russia, on a Russian platform.

If you haven't used VK before, I strongly suggest you do so. Have a look at the Music and Video sections for a bit of an idea of Russian appreciation for copyright.

And I don't really blame them for this. Do you remember the time when copying tapes/DVDs was very new and pretty much everyone was doing it? Do you remember those bootleg DVDs from Asia? Few people cared, there was little to no publicity about how it was bad and "stealing" for a good few years. Then came the ads on DVDs and in cinemas about how it was stealing, articles in the news about how it was hurting industry and such. In the west we were taught that copyright was good and the impact it had on the content creators. In Russia they were not.

They just don't think about it the same way we do and you can't make assumptions about their character for that any more than they can make assumptions about Americans for the things that are different in American culture.

In the case of multi-family investment properties like a duplex or three family, the externalities are positive.

Investment properties have incentives in place to not spend money on maintenance, not spend on upkeep to the extent the owner can get away with it.

With a vacation rental the incentive is to make it as nice as possible to charge a premium, and the rents support a higher level of finish and polish to a property.

I live right between two short term rentals and people come and go all the time, and I love it. I've met so many cool people, especially from Europe travelling in the US.

The house is kept up much nicer than the other multi families around it.

None of the guests have ever once had a party, made noise, left trash or anything negative.

Are you sure? There's a strong neurocognitive argument to be made that reinforcing the tendency, by repeatedly acting on it with pornography to the end of, among other things, rather strongly triggering the dopamine reward system, will tend to strengthen the interest by reinforcing the circuits which interact with it, and vice versa

Reinforcing the circuits to reward yourself with more porn, not with molesting children. Your whole point is exactly the kind of pseudo scientific rationalising every authoritarian uses to push their "moralistic" agenda.

Real studies have actually shown that exposure porn reduces recidivism and tendencies to molestation, except in a small class of pedophiles which already have violent tendencies.
Try being a non-EU citizen using London as a base for a summer travel, and being required to interact with Border Force wankers on every transit through the country. They're invasively racist at every turn: Here's a credit card and a reservation at a niceish hotel. You aren't convinced that we won't be a burden on your ratty public purse? Alas. How about an onward ticket for tomorrow evening? No? Hmm. Ok, here's a bank statement. Is that enough zeroes for you? Great! Yes, this is our daughter. Yes, she does have a rather lovely tan. I'm originally from Bangladesh and my wife is from the US. No, you really don't need to know what our parents think of our marriage. Oh, I program for a living. Do you want to know more about functional reactive programming? Well...

This literally went on for half an hour, while our infant daughter (who was suffering from the flu) was clearly in distress. When my wife asked for a bit of privacy to nurse her, she was barked at.

That's an apples to oranges comparison.

A short term rental is residential use, just like a long term rental is residential use. In both cases the property is used by people to live and sleep in.

The question is does local government have the right to regulate the duration of a rental lease?

I would argue it doesn't, and it's a blatant violation of sacred property rights for a government to take that power.

The answer to problems of noise is to enforce noise ordinances. Guests will keep quiet if they are told that the town hands out $500 fines for violations of decibel levels after curfew.

There are simple market and incentive based solutions but so many Americans are so quick to jump on the "Ban! Regulate!" knee jerk train these days.
