I'm not much of a fan of Wilson (have only read 3 of his books, Outsider included).

But this is an unbearable, typically provincial, English critique of his work, complete with class-based explanations and snobbery, attacks on him being an autodidact and so on.
Pretty cool idea and the implementation seems on target too.

Just a quick note on one possible way to adjust votes: weighting by success. A vote from a fan that consistently votes for a successful play (defined as 0 or more yards gained?) should count for more. A vote from a fan with a bad record should count for less (though maybe just keep it at 1 as the minimum and favor success more).

This might also help with gaming the system by opponents (especially if non-successful votes move you down faster than successful votes move you up).

This could also lead to fan promotion opportunities... "fan of the game" or "best 5 fans of the game"... "fan of the season"... etc.

Language-wise - sure, it adds a lot of complexity. Platform-wise, they would risk people staying on what they had and ignoring Swift entirely, and that would mean Apple would need to support objective-c a lot longer than they want to.
The multiple choice mode is missing a button for "i don't know". I figured out you can hit enter to get the same, but i don't think everyone would.

E: Gave it a bit more of a try, and i won't be switching this one. The japanese set doesn't seem to particularly try to avoid throwing unknown words at me when giving me new ones and the voice is uncomfortably high-pitched.
Even a shareholder would care about impact to revenues more than his ability to get an iphone from a neighboring state

But nice try, turns out you can also own shares of foreign corporations that do no business anywhere near you, so there goes the basis for that argument

I share your sentiments - the Wii U has an excellent, albeit small lineup of software. I've seen it as a companion to the PS4 / Xbox rather than a competitor.
Mirrors my university experience quite well and also sometimes in my professional life. I still rely a lot on my intuitive understanding, which works great in mos cases, but leaves me lacking when it fails.
It estimates 79.6 bits of entropy. It's basing the estimate on just the words, not on the popularity of the phrase as a whole.

Let's compare that to https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm which many people promote as a good password checker, but is actually terrible. It claims 177 bits of entropy. This is basing the estimate on just the individual characters.
It's because of the implication.

That's terrific. My favorite Weird Al permission story is that Mark Knopfler had one condition: that he be allowed to play the guitar part for the 'Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies' parody.

I'm on a MacBook. Is there some type of virtual folder type that I can use that behaves like any other folder? Something where the files and folders within don't actually 'live' there.

I don't like tags because they're not tangible. If they could live somewhere on the desktop where I could click them, or be nestable, I would use them.
I do 'data science' for smaller businesses that would not have the resources, or really the need for a full-time in-house analytics person like me. But, one client does about 8 to 10 hours a week, another does some projects periodically, and I just added a third that I think will end up being something like a day a week.

From my perspective it spreads my risk and from their perspective it means they get access to higher-end analytical help in a more flexible package that meets their needs. Their trade-off is higher rates per hour and my trade-off is a little more variance in income.
Thanks dema_guru!

This exactly! So annoying when this happens. UK government loves doing this especially for various business logins.
Personally I hope it's not hacked. Indie developers now have a affordable, interesting platform with relatively open tools.

There needs to be a commercial incentive for them to develop games.

Nintendo put all their eggs in the Switch basket and if it fails they likely will never recover from it.
KTurtle (comes with most Linux distros). If your kids are not fluent in English, then KTurtle sports several languages through KDE's language packs. Both the commands, docs and error messages are translated. It is a bit like LOGO, but with different syntax.

If English is no barrier then https://code.world/ is also pretty awesome, and in the browser.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the devs of KTurtle.
I think we're looking for the same thing.
I love Stevie Wonder, but it is only in the last year, courtesy of binge listening on Spotify, that I realized where Yankovic got the base melody for 'Amish Paradise' (See 'Pastime Paradise' on 'Songs in the Key of Life'). When Weird Al is where I get my introduction, I know I have some cultural depth to grow in :)
The downside for consumers is that once you know the patterns that storytellers follow, it becomes one of those 'can't unsee it' things that just stand out in movies. It's only the few good movies that manage to draw you into the story despite the obvious story telling pattern.

So my (somewhat unrelated) question is does the Switch replace both the Wii U and 3DS or just the former? The Switch has mobile capabilities as we've seen but does it justify a stop in 3DS sales/development/play?

Haven't done much research, just a thought.
Personally I'm not a chronic pessimist, but my view on Snapchat is the same as Twitter, and look at what is happening with them.

They are only worth their Market Cap in the sense that investors literally bought-in that much because of a hypothetical upside based on scale. What happened when they tried to sell the company? The realization sets in that the company just isn't worth that much money, nor can anyone foresee how it could be in the near future.

It is a self-sustaining situation with these companies. Nobody wants to write off that big of a loss, so the valuation is sustained.

Many others are sustained on the inflated belief that the market for Ad views is adjusted for the prevelance of fraud. How many times has it been shown that click, view and user bots are used in staggering numbers. The companies making all the money have little incentive to correct this. But of course Ads clearly work in many situations. I'm just saying these bloated valuations based on ad revenue have not been adjusted for the fraud reckoning. Google struck gold because the underlying utility of the search engine is so unquestionably powerful and ubiquitously necessary to the idea of the internet that it guarantees a truly awe-inspiring user base. The value proposition of getting that service for free makes viewing Ads a second thought - it is a reasonable deal for the user.

What do people need from Snapchat that will keep them there? Sharing pictures and text messages is rapidly, and I mean rapidly, approaching a commodity service on par with landline telephones.

Anyways, the blanket optimists are subject to the same odds. If you believe everything is going to succeed, inevitably you will be correct. Everyone has confirmation bias.

Technically Weird Al got it from Coolio's Gangster's Paradise. And Coolio got it from Stevie Wonder.
Mr Rogers defines the pinnacle of "good human being" to me. There are so many stories of him doing really nice things (wearing the sweaters his mother made for him on his show, describing what he was doing on the show because a blind child wrote in, speaking to the funding of PBS; the list goes on and on). Add to that the impact he had on my life (and the impact the newer Danial Tiger show based off his work has on my daughter's)... I just can't say enough good things.
Firefox started well before Seamonkey was spun out, and they continued with Thunderbird anyway. But the details of the history of the ambitions don't matter, what matters is that these architectural decisions were made a long, long time ago but their consequences are still there. You can decide you're not going make an app suite, that doesn't magically re-architect the internals of the product you have. Take a look at this announcement from Netscape, in 2000 (AD):

Support for XUL addons is being dropped now. That's a long echo.

Well, you may be right about the outrage. I don't have any outrage, and I want to see competition in the browser space, and I actually use firefox. I am, however, as a "power-user", mostly annoyed by the direction Firefox has gone in. It often feels like they're apeing Chrome, especially since Australis took a very similar feel to the Chrome UI. If I wanted to use Chrome, it's over there.

No outrage, and for all I know, they've made the best moves to maintain their marketshare, but once the extensions get comparatively neutered, the only things keeping me on Firefox are inertia, the awesomebar (I haven't played with chrome a lot, but Firefox's awesomebar works really well, and I use '*' to narrow it down to bookmarks all of the tmie), the real dialog boxes for managing history and bookmarks (vs Chrome's pseudo webpage thing), and inertia.

So I can understand the frustration of 'power-users' with their changes, which seem aimed to make it a more mass-appeal product.
That suggests they will be $0.20/watt in two years. That will make them too cheap to ignore for almost everything.
I don't think your last statement is true at all. Just look at what their share price did as a result of pokemon go and mario run. Nintendo is worth 50% more than it was just under a year ago, no switch required.
Doom modding was a challenge too, though more because the tools were immature. Now Duke3D changed that when it shipped with Build. Now I know teens who still use Build to experiment despite it being nearly as old as them.
No clue what you're talking about, I can't even tell if you are agreeing with me, disagreeing, or neither. feel free to clarify.
Meanwhile in NZ: 10 GBit symmetric uplinks for households successfully tested
Awesome song! Though I think it's more likely that Coolio got the base melody for Gangsta's Paradise from Stevie Wonder, and Amish Paradise grabbed it from Coolio since Amish Paradise is a parody of Gangsta's Paradise.
would greatly appreciate as much detail as you're willing to type about how you're hosting and deploying your elixir/phoenix codebase
Thanks! From the first example, it looks more like a UI toolkit than a (visual) editor though. At least it seem the layout can only be created using code.

I remember Squeak having a tree (I forget the name) but don't remember if it was easy to edit with it directly.
The important thing here is to recognize the political reasons for why restrictions on density and creating new urban housing exist. So long as urban sprawl is an easy possibility and the status quo solution for expensive housing is to implore young people to simply move further away, there will be little to no political pressure or incentive for politicians to upzone urban areas.

Essentially new development in greenfield or brownfield areas shields established urban residential areas from needing to be redeveloped.
Sorry for the editorialized title, the original one is way too long and doesn't include the key point of symmetric 10 GBit/s connections.
Thanks supremesaboteur for your feedback, I have not used Dejaclick before. For Selenium IDE, I got the impression that I cannot have access to conditions, loops, datatables, object repositories, invoking by API/scheduling, make outgoing API calls, etc. Without writing code.

I thought it was a rather limited tool (the Selenium IDE part), so usually test automation teams write their own frameworks in their preferred programming language to drive Selenium WebDriver (which of course is mainstream), then write code to do the test automation.

I'm basically attempting to bring that sort of framework out of the picture, to let users being able to do the same kind of complex stuff without writing code. They can still use JavaScript code in their automation flow if they want.
Google Cloud – preemptible VM instances
It is amazing to me how effective the Earth is becoming at relaying globally-affecting information to (for lack of a better term) stakeholders.

Why the month delay?
This is a very interesting read, because I took the opposite approach.

I started out with the premise that manual logging is very hard to do well. It takes effort on my part (and thus hinges on my discipline), can be inconsistent, and can change depending on what my important metrics are.

I automatically collect as much information as possible. I log every time I change a window or tab and what I change it to (extending from native windows on macOS all the way through to virtual windows in gmail.com). I log the same from my iPhone. I throw all of my data in a Postgres data warehouse, and then use a BI tool to normalize it and put some KPIs in a dashboard.

This system allows me to ask anything from "what articles did I read last week?" to "what percentage of my time at work did I spend programming?" to "how much did I sleep this week?" to "who do I spend the most time messaging?".

It's also an exercise in understanding that metadata is incredibly revealing.
I don't think this idea works in practice. Average user has much less computing power available than such services. CPUs are really cheap to rent nowadays, so it would hardly influence the price of an upvote while possibly making quality of experience much worse for mobile users.
> I'm pretty sure that's unequivocally false. [...] I could spell out how

What makes you sure? If you know something we don't, we need to hear it—the community relies on us to get this right. It's also personal: I've poured countless hours into combating vote manipulation, and if you know my code isn't working, you bet I want you to spell out how.

The upside of a public discussion outweighs the downside because (1) if you tell us things we don't know, we can start investigating for them—it's what we don't know that's worrisome; and (2) community members might respond with valuable knowledge of their own. That's also why we haven't buried the OP (which, in case users are wondering, we do know about and have lots of data on).
I don't think there is a one size fit all method, so take mine as grain of salt. From my exp of teaching my brother programing, I think something that combine HW with SW is a good way to go, he first got into programing by playing/programing with Lego EV3(age 6~7). I think the EV3 (Labview) programing interface is very easy for kids to understand some basic ideas behind programing. Also, the ability of seeing their programs can run in actual brick also help a lot. Then after that it become more easy to learn some other more advance stuffs(Javascript, python, etc)
I only touched that point but as I said - I used to think the same, but then I actually studied it and changed my mind. You can do all that in Haskell too, including interpreting homoiconic code and build DSLs (which was my main point), and it's all built on the more solid foundations with integrated static type checking. It just works quite differently.
Maybe unimportant from a health standpoint. I'm not worried at all for safety but I sure as hell want to know the root cause. It is extremely anomalous.
9 mBq/m3 mesured for Fukushima (France, Valence).

That's the central point of the article. But I still feel it should have mentioned America's colonisation and the wealth it brought to Europe.
Italy did not had access to American colonies, but was very important for the Renaisance. Yet some historians say it beneffited from absorbing Greek scholars the fled the fall of Constantinople.

There are other factors that may encourage artistic and scientific advancement. The peace of Edo era in Japan (1603-1868), and a Samurai class that had no wars to fight anymore brough many artistic, cultural and scientific inovations.

The Japanese of the era had relativelly high literacy rates, developed mathematics and astronomy (sometimes discovering principles slightly before Europe [1]). The Japenese were also fond of Dutch science books on mechanics and medicine, and were more adept in using firearms [2] than it is usually assumed.

When Europe and the US, now with industrial revolution technology levels, began to harass Asia, Japan was able to modernize quickly and even defeat Russia.
But this was only possible because Japan had their own "mini Renaisance" of sorts in the Edo era.

Officially it only replaces the Wii U. That's so if the Switch flops, they can release a "real" handheld successor to the 3DS in a few years

However when the DS was released they also said it wasn't a replacement for the GBA, when that was also pretty obviously untrue. Additionally, word is that Nintendo has merged their 3DS and Wii U game development efforts to focus on the Switch.

They also don't really have any 3DS games on the radar for further out than the end of the year. It seems safe to assume that Nintendo fully intends to focus on the Switch going forward.
The '10,000 times' is a quote from the CRIIRAD PDF: "It detected the fallout from Fukushima which was about 10,000 times higher than those measured in January 2017 on France."

Il a permis de détecter les retombées de Fukushima qui étaient environ 10000
fois supérieures à celles mesurées en janvier 2017 sur la France.
That explosion was in a non-nuclear part of the facility, so even if the timing would match, it couldn't be that.
It's innovator's dilemma. The same thing that made Mozilla popular ("advanced" add-ons) is what kept it from moving to the "dumb" Chrome extension model that Google's browser adopted a long time ago. The older add-on model is what kept it from having better security and having less memory problems for so long.
I'm betting it's your addon's/extensions/plugins causing the problem. A bad extension can bring Firefox down to it's knee's just like anything else programmed by Auntie Thelma.

Download Firefox 51.0.1 then in the URL box type "about:support" then look for the line that says "Multiprocess Windows - 1/1 (Enabled by User)" that indicates whether electrolysis is enabled. If it says "0/1 disabled" you will have to manually enable it.

Next you want to check to make sure your WebGL, WebGL2 and GPU rendering is accelerated under Graphics. If that's all good and your GPU is listed, go scroll up to the top right and click "Refresh Firefox"

when you restart it, go back into "about:support" and make sure everything is loading fine. Then you can head over to test it out http://beta.unity3d.com/jonas/WebGLBenchmark/ and then you should behold the power! Firefox should benchmark and run websites very noticeably faster than other browsers. The only exception is Firefox's inability to render forum list heavy sites (It chokes on them), so all other browsers will out perform it on Facebook, Flickr and 500px for the time being until that gets fixed. In fact if you are a heavy Facebook user, Safari performs the best with it, and if your on Windows then Opera gives the best Facebook performance. You can also type in "about:performance" to get a rundown if any plugins are fucking you around.
If Snapchat fits then I think it means an endless stream of next-Snapchats will also fit. All of these things are 6 of one/half dozen of the other. The limit is people arbitrarily swapping messaging apps like phone cases based on mood.
Sounds interesting! Sounds like you've hand-rolled this, have you published anything about your system? I'm sure the details would be fascinating.

This sort of thing annoys the crap out of me.

Religion is a complex subject. So is atheism. Complex enough, that the idea of being able to model either of them for research purposes (as opposed to game purposes, like in Civ IV), just seems incredibly silly.

Incorporate all of the following into your model, and it will still be insufficient: kin altruism, war, banditry, social trust, epistemology, famine, genetic defects, mate selection and sexual strategies, the hedonic treadmill---and then, for each doctrine, incorporate signaling, countersignaling, hypocrisy.

Does it sound like I'm holding the model to impossible standards? Hey, I'm not the one who titled the article, "Atheism, a computer model."

Or you can just do boring projections from current trends, but who clicks on that?
