I keep chickens and can confirm that we have repeat blacksnake visitations.

Not that I mind black snakes, but I don't like them stealing eggs.

Relocating them off on a distant part of my 40 acres doesn't keep them from coming back.

There are over 30k+ live radio stations that you can create lip sync videos to and over 175 categories of music.
I (Europe/Germany) put them in the fridge because the fridge came with an egg tray. Simple as that, never thought about leaving them outside.
Maybe that's a simple answer to why many people put them in the fridge, independent of 'how long they will stay good'.
Nope. I have a background in jailbreaking and use a jailbroken phone :O

Cool Feature: 1 click youtube search of any song that is playing on live radio
I would agree --- actually buy your kids a ZX or C64, and also show them all the cool demos others have made.
Cool feature: If you have several favorite radio stations(like 50 stations) you can with one tap see what is playing on all 50 stations without even activating a stream.
Ancient chef secret:

For perfect hard boiled eggs place the eggs in cold water, some white vinegar, place on high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat once it boils and time for exactly ten minutes.

Remove and peel.

Perfect hardboiled eggs.
Cool feature: Keep tabs on what you have listed to by checking out song history.
I also keep chickens (easter-eggers, too!), but I've got to be honest, I can't taste the difference in a store-bought egg vs my own.

Can definitely see it in the yolk color, no doubt about that.

What is the difference you taste?

Now, if you ever butcher your own, THAT is a huge difference in taste. Night and day, similar to garden-grown sweet corn vs what you get at the market.
Nitpick: The cornea is a fixed focal length, and it's a separate lens behind the cornea which flexes to 'accommodate' or focus the eye.

If some guy with a catchy domain name can produce content that goes viral, it doesn't matter how many Pulitzer the NYTimes has.

If anything, as someone who actually cares about facts, the latest changes in my Facebook newsfeed has gotten me to read a lot more publications because my friends are sharing stories from journals I don't normally read.

The author is misplacing the blame.

What about Win7 drivers? Even if the Redmond based company doesn't like marketing about it (an understatement) - please support it. (Recently AMD announced Win7 support only to remove the announcement after after a few days.)

Even Intel supports Win7 with their most recent CPU as well, even if it's not officially marketed, and one has to search around for the driver.

There are plenty of choices... in addition to the ones mentioned below, you might want to just rent a low-end dedicated server, where the hardware is guaranteed to be repaired if defective (make good offsite backups). Performance will be higher in most cases (dedicated CPU and high RAM).

Wow... I really hope this is true and that it's a sign that AMD have their mojo back. Partly because I have a sentimental favoritism towards AMD, and partly because Intel (and Nvidia) need competition.
You might not know the answer to this question. If you don't, it might be interesting to see if you can get to the answer internally.

Let's say I setup a site and have AdSense place ads on it. I don't touch any of the ads. I never click any of them. Yet, for some reason, the ads see a bunch of click activity. The reasons can be many, from sheer randomness to a competitor using it as an attack vector (to deny revenue and more).

I have seen this precise scenario lead to the absolute shutdown of a Google account. And that means every single service, including email and docs. Gone. Done. No recourse. No way to even recover the data.

Has this changed?

Do you have a way for people affected by such algorithmic issues to engage in a conversation with something that does not resemble a totalitarian regime?

The paid vs. free part is immaterial. People are relying on your products and offerings. Free is a strategy for dominance. I can understand free products not having a human in the loop. What I can't understand is the dictatorial/totalitarian relationship with your users, who, free or not, have come to rely on these tools.
I loved linode but their track record is terrible. They both compromised my credit card and cost us a fortune by null routing our IP's when we were DDoS'd.

Ansible is great and all, but I've been using a bash_profile to set up my workstations for years and it's worked great. Doesn't require third-party tools and uses bash, so it can literally run on anything, including Cygwin and LXSS (Windows).

Has someone tried to host a DBpedia copy offline?

The supported Virtuoso database is quite esoteric ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server ).

I'm not sure we have a sufficiently efficient concurrency mechanism that doesn't simply give the user control over scheduling decisions.

Depending on how many tens we're talking about, those tens of nanoseconds for a context switch might themselves blow your time budget even on ordinary hardware. 10 gigabits per second means one byte is about 800ps long, so a 64-byte ethernet frame (plus the gunk before and after) is about 7 tens of nanoseconds. To keep up with this traffic pattern, we need to be able to process packets at least this quickly.

A goroutine context switch plus one unbuffered channel read and one unbuffered channel write on my machine seems to take about 18 tens of nanoseconds on my machine when Go's runtime is made to use the same thread for everything. (I'm not sure how to better isolate context switch overhead in Go, but a context switch, channel read, and channel write per packet does seem to be the anticipated use case.)
I don't. But when mayo is made, one could use pasteurized eggs. Then the mayo should be safe from salmonella. I believe this is what is generally done when mayo is made commercially in the United States.

they aren't alone. many boutique shops operate like this. decisions at the top are made by consensus. everyone is their own boss. salary decisions sre made by local managers and HR. if there is a ceo, then s/he is mostly a figurehead.

it makes sense for consultancies to operate this way because they don't really sell "a product" as we come to think of it. They sell services in specific areas, and growth of that business is largely contingent on the type of work they take up, how much of it they're willing to do and keeping the structure of the firm in an optimal state to satisfy those demands.
Great content! Loved some of the simple explanations
Looks like my next desktop build can be all AMD. With radeonsi/radv catching up and upcoming Vega and Ryzen, it looks quite attractive.
That does not really make sense. Why would physics simulation and prime calculation be so much slower?
I would not trust those benchmarks.
> In my opinion. If anything is destroying journalism, it's the fact that half this country does not care for fact vs fiction.

Why is this a problem that needs to be solved though? A big part of being free is being able to choose what you get to care about, being able to choose what you get to read, and being able to have your own opinions.

Remove that, and you're no longer free. Would it be better to not be a free people? I can see the benefits of both sides, but I think freedom is a better long term solution for a multitude of historical reasons.
Huh? I've worked on lot's of construction jobs where "anyone" can stop work if they see an unsafe situation. Obviously "anyone" doesn't refer to every human on the planet, it refers to relevant personnel. How is it even possible to be confused by this?

The author doesn't realize that whatever Mark Zuckerberg does next, it's likely to fail. But Facebook will learn far more for trying than the news community will learn from sticking to the same old same old.

News will get reinvented, and the optimist in me hopes it will be a much better product than it is today. But that process will be hard to predict and the winners will be among the folks who take risks and try new approaches.
I just wish it was easier to find unbiased news. Just a list of facts no slant either way.

Thanks for sharing. This is insanely cheap. It can be used for test\dev at least if not prod env.
Why do you need that in desktop env? What's the usecase when it can be beneficial to have expensive ECC RAM instead of the ordinary one?

If you take a closer look, the established media is not so innocent about that. Most of them find it perfectly ok to lie for money every few minutes (TV ads)...

Even a list of facts can include bias, by which facts it includes and which it omits. There exists no unbiased source of news. Better to have information, along with documentation of any potential sources of bias, evaluate that for yourself with the caveats included, and give it appropriately discounted weight.
In fact, there was at least one case (and maybe two, on consecutive launches), in which one of the serial SRB holddown bolts did not fire. The SRB, as designed, tore right through it.

I've been using RescueTime (http://www.rescuetime.com) for around three years now, which pulls data from all of my workstations as well as my phone, but it lacks the ability to handle soft skill logging like social encounters and dietary habits with the finesse that pcmonk is working towards. Right now, I use it to track things like how much time I spend in IDEs, in StackOverflow, Hacker News, etc.

For some previously unexamined reason, I am giddy about tools that enable me to surveil my own productivity and procrastination metrics, but feel slightly uneasy about trying to capture daily intangibles.

I'm not sure if I would want to know how much time I've spent with each of my friends; the analytical side of me excises and optimizes, and I worry how that might manifest in negative ways if I start to quantify friendships and phone calls.

Anyone identify unexpected truffles and/or landmines in the exploration of your personal logs?
There was Freebase with a community around the project. Sadly Google took it offline and now only use it internally, and prevent others AI projects and competitors like IBM (Watson), Apple (Siri), and Microsoft (Cortana) from using it. So IVM bought Blekko semantic search engine, Apple has now its own web crawler, and Microsoft already bought various SV startups like Powerset to enhance MSN/Live/Bing search.

DBpedia is big as well.

WikiData is several magnitudes smaller than Freebase and DBpedia at the moment, but has an active healthy community.

What's the best way to run an offline copy of WikiData these days? Does it run on MySQL (or Postgres) like all other Wikimedia properties?
A few years ago I was at a demonstration for an interface like this. It worked by measuring the effect of having an expectation fulfilled, i.e. the patient is shown a number of shapes in sequence, each representing a different choice, and when the one the patient wants appears, this can be inferred from an EEG.

IIRC, they used five different shapes and repeated each choice at least three times for error correction, and two or three choices selected one keyboard key. The poor grad student demonstrating the procedure made quite a few typos, after which he had to select backspace, and the process was excruciatingly slow anyway, so it took a few minutes until he managed to write "Hello, welcome to ...". But definitely better than nothing if you are locked in.
The death throes of this loathesome industry are glorious to behold. The idea that this is fact vs viction, real vs fake news, etc. shows how much these people have lost the plot.
Besides many obvious reasons (preventing real bitrot), it's also a security factor acting against attacks like rowhammer.

One must bear in mind that wccftech has always been one to leak stuff. Take what you might want to from that.

More importantly though, Intel definitely needs competition. This is really good news and I hope it plays out well.
Call me selfish but I think it is more important for them to contribute to GNU/Linux and *bsd projects.

I know Microsoft has a contractual obligation to support 7 for a while but I think there's next to zero chance they will reset Windows 10 and go back to Windows 7. You will need to get away from Windows 7 at some point. Better start making preparations now.
My guess would be branching behavior. The Intel branch predictor could be better for that sort of stuff.

What are you feeding them? If you're feeding them commercial feed, I wouldn't expect much difference in taste.

This echoes a conversation I have often with my girlfriend; how art and qualitative works are ranked in society.

An artist seems to have to be general enough to appeal and be understood by an audience while original enough to be compared to other genius on method but not content.

That is abstract but hopefully the point was there. The second piece is groupthink. For example, what would happen if the first 10 well respected critics said his follow on novel was so brilliant it outshined his earlier work. I don't know, but there as a degree of taste shaping, a degree of originality & and a degree of tradition that make up the "value" and it is interesting to think about.
A little more than soft-boiled, but far from green-tinged yolks; this way the egg isn't runny but still soft and golden butter-like, not yet chalky. Water takes about 2-3 minutes to boil (gas). Cooking room-temperature eggs, not refrigerated, room temperature is about 20-22C.

Why on earth do you put them in a fridge for 12-18 hours? Serious. Are you at a catering company that does these in mass?

everyone uses email for password resets anyway, and most people persist sessions. i always thought we should just email the user a link if their session has expired. there's no reason to have passwords.

this is the scheme sandstorm already uses.

maybe i find this less annoying since i have a dedicated terminal window for my email, and don't have to hunt around tabs for it? do people who use web-based email lose their email tabs?
Using competitive intelligence and spying techniques to find out what is making money on the internet. Then evaluate which of those you can replicate the easiest to take some of that margin.
I use all three tools. But Firebug still has features that aren't implemented in both other tools. You can read the Bugzilla entries, sadly Mozilla cut off Firebug too early, many minor features (eg DOM tab) were just recently added to Firefox DevTools and aren't working 100% because of glitches and bugs. And Chrome DevTools don't has those features at all.

(I use a separate Firefox instance for development, and it's not my number one browser for years because it can't handle hundreds of open tabs - IE and Chrome excel on that (my) requirement for 10 years.)
> Are the kids remotely interested in programming, and does it make sense to try teaching them if they show no interest? As a child, I remember pushed towards taking piano lessons and hating every second of it.

No one knows the details of your experiences and psyche, I'm not saying that you should continue your piano lessons.

However, parents are primarily responsible from guarding children from their own poor choices among other things. I wish I didn't stop the guitar lessons when I was a child although my mind was primarily on girls, consoles and basketball.
While 30 minutes is not a lot by any means, I hope you will take the opportunity to get across a few simple points to them:

1. Patch your systems

2. Use a non-trivial, _long_ password. 13+ characters at least. They cannot be easily cracked. Use a password manager and do not reuse passwords.

3. Look out for phishing emails. Just previewing a message without clicking already gives us the password hash

4. Chrome is more secure than IE, iOS is more secure than Android

5. An overview of "smart" crypto choices, MD5 is simply not good enough to save passwords with

6. Assume breach and set up decent monitoring alerts

Following these is already going to give security people, and by extension attackers, a harder time getting into networks and systems.

Yes, this is an extremely simplified view and without even the slightest nuance. But better this in 2 minutes at the end of a 30 minute talk than nothing.
I mean they can, yes, at a maximum. The article says "80% of the room’s 54 m^3 total volume being able to deliver wireless power to a receiver at over of 40% efficiency" which means it's 760 watts of uncertain power (because it can drop off further than that). That's more in the range of high power computers... which I guess wouldn't be a concern.

So this could totally be used for a HMD already. I wonder if it interferes at all with data transmission protocols that are used for wireless on the currently available HMDs...
There is so much hype with AMD atm. In particular sites like WCCFTech have gone almost rabid with hype. My experience is that AMD tend to over promise with their marketing and rumours. So whilst the hype may well be warranted this time, I'm going to wait for the actual reviews to come through and take these leaks with a grain of salt.

Many cloud providers offer A service unavailable elsewhere. Examples include AWS lambda and Google Bigquery. If you built software using one of these services, you couldn't just pick up your code and deploy it elsewhere without major code modifications.

For comparison, let's say you're on AWS and only use cloud agnostic dependencies--Postgres, Redis, Memcached, and so on. You might have to change config variables, but you could otherwise move your application over to GCP quickly.
Replacing the entire browser chrome is unlikely to happen on the release channel of Firefox, but everything else has potential.

Generally, the way forward will be to use WebExtension Experiments (https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io/en/latest/i...), which let you run classic-style "bootstrapped" add-ons in Firefox Developer Edition or Nightly. The intended use is for prototyping new WebExtension APIs for eventual inclusion into mainline Firefox, but nothing limits you to that usage.
"Most of them find it perfectly ok to lie for money every few minutes (TV ads)..."

Agreed, but if advertising first purpose was to tell verifiable facts it would have been called information.

Not necessarily. It's you being an adult.

Also, and I'm not even kidding, if you cannot deal with a company which places a lot of importance and hierarchy, move on to another place where that is not the case.
