How these apps helped me with time management
That's already true, and it's got nothing to do with licensing tech, and everything to do with how much money it costs to build out a supply chain.
For large datasets all the momentum seems to be moving towards Spark (sparklyr is RStudio's SparkR integration.

Worst case, you can always use MPI with R and run on a Beowulf cluster. Of course that might not help if you want to use a function from a library, and the library itself expects everything to be in memory on one node, but at least it gives you another option for parallelization.
Oh, perhaps I misread about Overwatch. Or getting confused in my old age. :-) Not that I'd have time to play it, what with Titanfall still being entertaining, have barely played Battlefield 1, and a new Ghost Recon comes out on the 7th. I look forward to retirement so I can have more time to play!

EDIT: And I missed the part earlier where you asked for tips with your father. Ya know, I gave it some thought, and I don't know that I have any. Your dad is about ten years older than I am, which means he was just a tad past the proper age when the Atari 2600 came out. Me, I grew up with the Sears pong console, then came the day when we got a 2600. I was ten or twelve, just the right age to get hooked. So to me it's "umm, sure, I'm in my fifties and spend way too time playing video games. Your point?" whereas your father might have been just old enough to complain about those "kids and their video games", I don't know. So both he and I have had about fifty years to fall on one side or the other, and neither one of us has probably changed all that much since.

You and I both wonder, "why wouldn't you think Kerbal is cool? Hell, if I were retired, it's all I'd do if I didn't have any discipline." because we're already over the hump of playing to begin with, whereas he hasn't gotten past the barrier of "video games==the devil's tool". Dunno, just spitballing, and unfortunately don't have any potential pearls of wisdom. IOW, I don't get it any more than you do.
Does anyone have any advice from where to go after beginner/intermediate python? I can hack together a program with the functionality I want, but frequently it's pretty verbose and the architecture gets creaky as the complexity increases...
Correct, not constitutional, but by federal statute.

This was done variously by allowing and disallowing multi member districts, after reapportionment via a decenial census.

Multi-member districts were un-regulated in the early 1800s, then disallowed in the 1842 statute, but had a number of states with multi-member districts were in the subsequent election allowed to have their multi-member-district representatives seated. Then allowed again by silence in the statutes in 1850, then disallowed by statute again in 1862, and generally not allowed in subsequent reapportionment statutes through 1911, allowed by absence of regulation in 1929 (via Supreme Court ruling in 1932, Wood v. Broom, that the provisions of each apportionment act affected only the apportionment for which they were written).

Then disallowed most recently in 1967 by statute (as part of a civil rights concerns, after the 1965 Voting Rights Act, that southern states might resort to winner-take-all at-large elections to eliminate voting strength of recently-enfranchised blacks in the South).

Sure, but these things aren't mutually exclusive: you can learn and create and play videogames too. Not every waking moment has to be productive. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, etc.

As with most things, the key is moderation: finding a balance where you're getting enough relaxation/leisure to keep yourself happy, while not dedicating so much time to it that it completely takes over your life.
Played WoW for years. Grinded most of my members to rank 14.

Ran a PvP guild that lost three times in 6 months during this grind.

Tricked the entire horde to split forces in AV with 3 deep operatives, allowing Alliance to engage with the horde in two 37 vs. 20 waves, allowing them to win for the first time on that server in a year.

I regret none of it. I learned how to lead people in high-stress situations, how to build loyalty, and how to handle high-performance people while feeding their never-ending urge for conquest. I took all those skills and now I run multiple companies in different sectors, all designed to achieve a singular goal when they are all put together.
> attack the concept of honesty.

This. When others are lying, they make a “decent” effort to hide that fact, while Trump doesn't even try. The resulting confusion, when everyone is fighting over who lied about what, is one of his most effective weapons. People are distracted, cachink, goal achieved.
> just start dropping packets where there's congestion

Aside from being normal, do you think this is preferable because it is fair?

I think of QoS as a way of allowing more types of SLA to exist. Maybe Youtube makes a deal with T-Mobile to keep videos playing longer (before packets start dropping) in exchange for money. This money might allow T-Mobile to invest in other parts of its infrastructure.

Isn't any backbone link in a sense a way of shaping traffic? The old pattern (from point A to B, say) may have been less efficient than the new pattern (using the new link).

The link makes economic sense to install simply because there is demand for bandwidth from A to B. If there weren't, a link would have been installed elsewhere instead. The price of the new link is passed along to downstream and upstream providers.

Assuming that each ISP has a shaping model in place that is generally fair, is there really any difference between these three things:

- the ISP shopping upstream providers based on SLA committments for traffic X

- the ISP imposing QoS that addresses the quality experienced by customers using traffic X

- the ISP investigating upgrading networking hardware to allow for superior handling of traffic X

I'd argue that in every case the ISP has a cost and a benefit. In the case of the QoS change, the cost is that some customers might be slightly worse off (those who used traffic Y but never used traffic X).
Yes! Here: http://doingbayesiandataanalysis.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-ba...
Exactly once. But I needed to know recursion, typechecking, and modern language features almost every day.
I don't fully agree with those definitions. ISPs need to be prohibited from preferring HTTP and TCP over other protocols. They should be permitted to perform only the kinds of QoS that will treat two traffic flows with the same data rate and packet sizes equally even if they are using different protocols and port numbers. Overt discrimination rules that specify preferences for certain endpoints or certain types of traffic (as identified by inspecting packets) is wrong, but fair QoS that only considers actual traffic patterns and only operates in the event of actual congestion is beneficial without being harmfully discriminatory.

Well, you'd develop a proof of concept and angle to be acquihired by Editas. I don't know that that counts as "screwed".

> If you think about it a two party system has a tendency to make the parties move towards the center in general.

No, it doesn't.

> If a party gets much more extreme than the populace then they will lose easily against an opponent just a little more moderate than them.

This requires lots of assumptions that may not be true in the real world. First, it assumes a party in power can't shift the electorate by suppressing voting rights of its opponents. Second, it either ignores propensity to vote effects, or assumes a unimodal distribution of preferences so that moderation not only brings you closer to the median voter but also doesn't make people who are closer to your position less likely to vote; whereas a two-party system over time promotes a bimodal distribution where moving away from one of those peaks, even toward the center between them, reduces enthusiasm and votes recieved.) It also ignores communication assymetries and their relation to money, and therefore support from moneyed interests.
Telecoms are a classic example of a natural monopoly - which is to say it would be monopoly whether there's regulation or not.

How do you imagine there would be competition in, say, fibre? A bunch of companies all running their own last mile? That's incredibly inefficient.
Primitive Technology – Planting Cassava and Yams
I think you're making an assumption that shouldn't be assumed: that these smaller providers won't voluntarily be transparent and open. If I were competing against the likes of AT&T and Comcast, I'd use that as a competitive advantage! They're trying to differentiate themselves from the incumbents, not be exactly the same.

But even if they weren't open and transparent, wouldn't technologists like ourselves push to find the limits and publish them online? We can hold them accountable just as well without piling on more regulation.
That's how a lot of ISPs in eastern europe started - string cable along dense neighbourhoods by just letting it hang off any nearby pole, trees, or along steel cables strung between two close buildings with no poles or trees around. I imagine building regulation codes are more strictly enforced in USA and will stop that kind of thing.
Has Amazon ever delivered less than what was advertised when you paid for it?

I looked into an api, I don't see how can leverage it in the way I want, yes these roles will have to be created dynamically, pretend a user makes a post and only wants certain users to see the post, a new dynamic role will have to be created every time a user creates a new post?

Keep your head up!

Desperation reeks....so you want to get far away from this.

For one moment put aside the technical aspects and focus on your confidence, communication and the message you send when in an interview.

Watch Amy Cuddy's TED talk on Power posing. Do that before all your interviews! It works for me.

Focus on building a relationship with your interviewers. So that means small talk and asking how are you? How do you find working for this company? etc.
>Corporations also have record high corporate debt levels right now.

Strangely enough Apple is one of those companies taking advantage of near zero interest rates despite having 1/4 a trillion in cash.

If you make debt cheap enough it makes sense to do all kinds of crazy stuff.

>The attitude of wanting to violate other parties' property rights invariably comes down to a sort of arrogance in believing that the way the market works and the way people manage our own property is incorrect and that you have a better idea on how they should be using their property.

Some people believe that property rights should be configured to serve society's best interests. Other people believe that society should be configured to serve the interests of people with property (or, the market as you put it). One example of this type of person was Southern US slaveowners.
Yeah, Google realized just how entrenched the established telecom companies are with local municipalities. To the pint where the muni says, "only AT&T" can use OR put a pole in this area. Straight up block everyone else because AT&T pays the city to do that. How do you govern and take that on at a national scale. Not only the money, but the ridiculously massive amount of lobbying.

I think wireless point to point is the answer, and what Google is working on now after buying WebPass. You only have to connect a neighborhood and have one pool with a p2p receiver that services the whole neighborhood. A mini ISP if you will.

Then we can tell the corrupt city/local council people to F OFF and stop F'ing over your citizens by taking bribe deals from the large ISPs.
It's pretty bad, see AT&T in Dallas, where they are head quartered. The corruption in the city that AT&T buys is crazy. Even another large competitor such as Spectrum wanting to put fiber down is blocked by the city because AT&T has exclusive rights. So what speed is offered in that area by AT&T? 3-6 fucking mbps. And they make you a great deal and only charge $30/m for it. Seriously, F them and the city.

I now have a direct p2p internet access point on the roof of my house that gets about 80mbps up and down for less than $30/month. My only other option in a well developed, dense area is 3mbps from AT&T. A block away, Spectrum installed fiber and they get 1 gig speeds. I fought it for months, the corruption goes deep. Fuck AT&T.
This isn't about banning particular media outlets for asking hard questions or being fake news or whatever. This is about setting up the mainstream media as the enemy, and treating them as such. Trump's target is his supporters. "Do you trust me? If you trust me, then you can't trust them."
IANA has no enforcement authority. I also wouldn't be surprised to see ISPs respond by simply removing the word "Internet" from their advertising.
Good to see Cmder mentioned for Windows. Does everything I need and looks great.
People get a bit bratty when Amazon drops the rates on certain categories. They need to be clear on what the Affiliate program's purpose is. The goal isn't to kick back money to people who link to Amazon, it's there to make Amazon dominant in multiple markets.

There's no sense in throwing money after sales they'd already get. They're better off using it as discount to get sales they wouldn't.

https://puu.sh/uifWD/fecb51d0f4.gif
I just wanna prefix this by saying that I am still trying to figure things out, all I am sure of is that I am onto something big.

That being said, here are my observations:

a) The days when I work from home, I focus better than the days when I work in the office. I believe the reason behind this is the fact that during WFH days I just make myself coffee and breakfast, and then start working. On WFO days, I have to go through a commute which increases my chances of getting distracted.

b) During my commute, literally anything would trigger 'distractive thoughts' because my mind is so bored. Subway ads would do the same, seeing someone's book would do the same. The difference is, because now my mind is more focused, the distraction would simply be a long chain of thought rather than a pitstop in me hopping around from thought to thought.

c) The fundamental idea why this process works is that you prevent your rain from 'getting excited'. Social Media makes your brain excited, a podcast, or an audiobook or a book is not as 'exciting' as 20 links on reddit /r/funny.

So I believe that theoretically podcast, music, audiobooks should work (though nothing would work as well as doing nothing and getting bored, but as I mentioned, that might be hard), as long as it meets following two criteria:
1. The book, podcast, audiobook you're into is a relatively calm story, if the podcast is about last year's elections, or it's a real page turner novel or music is the latest album you just discovered by your favorite music artist then it might not be as effective.
2. The activity you're doing, should be long enough to last your commute. If you're reading newspaper, then you're reading 15 different stories, with their own dopamine spikes in your mind.

d) Over long period I believe your brain will go through neuroplasticity and become calmer. I have already experienced that. There are some 'other' effects I observe because of this, but my productivity is so high. Not to mention I'm finally working on my dream side project and I stopped procrastinating regarding nearly everything.

I hope this helps.

Yes. Then eventually someone will come along and say, "i'll do it for you for a fee" and they'll get a bunch of customers and they'll own the cables and then rename themselves Comcast.

well, you can go with the actual python tutorial for one. Or the literally dozens of intro to python books put out by No Starch, O'Reilly, Packt, Wiley, etc. You can also go with some of the classics like Swaroops' Byte of Python, or any of the college lecture notes. I hesitate to suggest this, but its worth saying, the book that Zed shit on to launch his little franchise is still actually usable (especially just to read the code examples) and was a much much much better book in terms of pedagogy then his tedious, arrogant offerings.

If you can get away with using a Chromebook for a laptop, you might not really be the target user for the Macbook Pros.

FWIW, I have found the new MacBook Pros fairly incredible. They are thinner and lighter, which is quite valuable for people who use notebooks on the go, while still being more powerful than their predecessors.

If I had one complaint it's that they didn't keep around the old 15-inch chassis for a model with more ram and a bigger battery. Made just have one model and aim it at a very specific niche.

But overall, they are very good notebooks. You can power multiple 5K displays from them for God's sakes.
> Aides to Mr. Spicer only allowed in reporters from a handpicked group of news organizations that, the White House said, had been previously confirmed

from the paragraph before your first quote. My parsing of it is that the hand picked news orgs were breitbart et. al. and the ones that weren't hand picked were still allowed in as long as they were not specifically banned. awkward writing though so who knows.
I'm an amateur in this area too, but I'm not suggesting to avoid collisions, I'm suggesting adding a validation function for the hashed data so that if one were to generate an intentional collision, you would still have to contend with generating it in a way that also validated.

For Git, Linus basically says the validation function is a prepended type/length.

> One person's tradeoff is another person's flaw and vice versa.

If some people view a design decision positively, then its a trade-off, not a flaw. For example, I hate moving parts on my computing devices (they break). So I'm a big fan of the non-clicking force touchpad.

What I'm talking about is flaws. Nobody prefers a laptop with coil whine to one without. Nobody prefers a cheap-o IPS display with an uneven backlight or bleed. Nobody prefers Synaptics drivers to Microsoft Precision drivers. Those are flaws, not trade-offs.
>I felt as if I was lacking in skills that I wished I had, and believe I could have learned in that time

I play a fair amount of videogames, but what can I say? I have never felt that way. There are some deficiencies in my life, but the main reason they remain deficiencies is that I'm not even sure how to resolve them.

I suppose I don't care much about learning skills because I know I'll never learn everything there is to learn, so I'll always have to defer to experts in certain domains.

1) The tunnel from the 456 to the Time Square Shuttle is the original tunnel of the first subway line. It ran from City Hall on the 456 track along the shuttle tunnel to what is now the north end of the 123. Walk that tunnel 100 years ago and you would standing on the tracks.
2) There is an abandoned level between the 456 concourse and the 7 train tunnel that was used for the original trolley line that was later replaced by the 7 train.
3) During the 60s there was a full size ICBM mockup hung in the great hall.
4) There is a body buried in the walls of the station - a construction worker who fell into pouring concrete a century ago and the body couldn't be recovered.
How about we make it a rule that if anyone wants access to the network they are not allowed to charge for it. It must be done only to help grow the network for its own sake.
