Haha, this is bad. So very bad.

I'd rather send myself little prompts. That urge, motivate and inspire me to remind my spouse how much I care about them. Nothing wrong with using automation to remind yourself to focus on them, to remind yourself what's really important.

On this note, I would encourage people to visit India (my country). I think the general perception people have (or had) about India is poor people all over the place begging. But, you will be amazed at how demographics (language, food, culture, day to day way of living) change for every 100 miles and still we stick together irrespective of countless language, religion, caste and cultural differences.

But, on the other hand, I'm also amazed that with so many people in US carrying guns in their daily lives, it is a miracle that most people are walking and living and doing some great things. Whatever it is, this whole gun culture is beyond my comprehension and I think it is good thing.
He said "less than 5 minutes". It took me roughly 1.5 minutes, and most of that was just downloading build stuff.

How long does it take you to download XCode and tools and get a "Hello World" iOS app running? It'd take me much longer than 1.5 minutes.
I think you underestimate just how much stuff is moving towards being GPU-run instead of CPU-run.
While it doesn't tell the whole story, just looking at things like sales numbers and user agent stats gives you a pretty good idea of the relative popularity in different areas. Apple just has very little presence in some of these places, _especially_ for desktop.

When I want to "master" something I prefer books. But a lot of times I just want to know "enough" of something to start working with it. For such things I prefer videos.

One thing I have noticed that before using any AWS service for the first time, I look for tutorial videos for it. This way I can see somebody clicking through screens to set up the service in AWS console. This helps immensely to start using the service as quickly as possible. After watching the videos I skim through the AWS docs to look for gotchas and then start using the service. Slightly off topic, one thing I have found very helpful in learning AWS is their FAQs. I make sure I read all of them if I am planning to use a service.

For programming, I didn't find the video tutorials very useful. For programming, I prefer tutorials, books, and documentation.

Based on the parent's fasting regimen, and assuming they fast Monday to Friday, that would mean 9 days of normal eating between fasts. If you eat a normal healthy diet during those 9 days, you will be fine. Malnutrition takes more than 5 days to develop.

There are many form but the general thin is that cells get resistant to massive amounts of insulin, which are caused by high blood sugars, resulting in higher blood sugars and/or higher insulin levels which can cause damage to any tissue. As far as I know (I have T1 diabetes, no doctor though) the Beta cells producing insulin have (like any cells) a sort-of define lifetime/production level and stressing them out doesn't help you in the long run. You can take medication to allow cells to have easier access to insulin, be more susceptible to it or increase the betacell insulin production but these are generally stopgap measures which in the end result in nearing Type 1 insulin levels if no change in lifestyle is taken.

Many old people will get it (Type 2) anyway since the pancreas is simply out of juice, but with relatively simple medication it can be managed. Eating like a fat pig will definitely accelerate the reduction in betacell insulin production capacity and increase the insulin resistance of other cells as described above (nice feedback effect).
And to answer the parent's rhetorical question as if it were serious: of course not.
People who don't "look" like typical programmers always deserve a second look.

This is the one hiring maxim which has never steered me wrong, and also provided a very diverse (and really fun!) development team. :)
If T1D is properly managed (frequent testing, insulin injection every meal), fasting actually poses less danger than a typical diet that has carbs in every meal. Carbs set you up for a wild swing.

But to make a strong cryptographic hash, you don't want predictability based on inputs. If you end up with some kind of pattern where getting the same output values requires modifying huge ranges of bytes, that lets attackers reason about inputs that generated a hash.
> I have been told by numerous DoD IA people that "Open Source is bad because anyone can put anything in it" and "We'd rather have someone to call." I understand the second point

Regarding that point -- it's not really a dichotomy, is it? For the most popular open source projects you can nearly always find a corporation or 501(c)(3) willing to sell a support subscription. For the less popular projects, you might be able to get a subscription from individuals, if your sourcing rules allow suppliers like that.
I've had the opposite experience. OSX is just weird bsd with a great window manager and ui framework. You can easily sidestep gatekeeper, if that is your complaint.

The hardware fit and finish is also second to none, and runs windows just fine if that's your thing.

The alternative on windows is a machine that spies on me, has horrible ui bugs and inconsistencies I run into constantly, and decides to auto update and reset all my privacy settings in the middle of the night while I am using the machine.

But that is the actual point being missed, I think.

The "Luddites" themselves, who were a small majority of highly skilled, highly paid labor, were not better off. They were worse off. Their children had worse prospects because they grew up without the advantages they would have had, etc.

But they were not the average person. And eventually, everyone was on average better off.

So this is key lesson to take. It is perfectly reasonable to believe changes like this can lead to overall benefits that make it compelling. However, real people get really hurt in this process. Waving our hands about how "market forces" will sort things out doesn't help if that evolution takes longer than your working life to be effective.

And if a real person is standing up and saying "I'm going to get screwed by this" - it is incredibly naive to respond by saying "Don't worry, it will work itself out in the end". For that person, it is a very real possibility - in some cases a near certainty, that it won't.

From a policy point of view, as a society, you cannot avoid dealing with this. You either deal with it head on, or you deal with the fallout.
Exactly. We worry about those pockets of crime/violence and the media attention is disproportionate here too. The international attention is just mind blowing seeing as nothing has changed over the last decade (these areas were shit 10 years ago too!). But all this doesn't mean the country suddenly is on the verge of collapse.

Yes it's true: there are pockets where Ambulances are stoned by local kids and need police escorts. That's not a vicious rumor. It's a tiny area (few blocks) of the country though. I'm sure many countries have terrible areas.

How our areas somehow turned on ambulance and firefighters is a complete mystery to me though.

> Is there an explanation about why Unlicense is not appropriate?

The Unlicense was not drafted by legal professionals. Please do not use.

https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2012-J...

CC0 is better. However, it still has issues in that it explicitly disclaims patent grants.

We still don't have a solid license of this class.
Actually it's reduced to the words "in Python 3" because the conflation between the Python 3.x language and the CPython 3.x runtime is something that is prevalent throughout the document.

Just because the maintainers of CPython 3 haven't included a Python 2 interpreter doesn't mean that Python 3 is not Turing complete. Their choice not to do that has nothing to do with the Turing completeness of anything.
So it's not right where you left off, and the program state is unknown?

I'm guessing the system must effectively "checkpoint" your work regularly and sync to disk to avoid partially saving a state and corrupting the data.

This isn't terribly different from working on a memory mapped file except that it also saves the ephemeral state of the running program so it can be restored. But I still don't understand how it's not going to be horribly slow when you start your program and the first thing it does is allocate 4GB of memory for its workspace. Synching all of that data to disk is a massive undertaking, and this isn't an uncommon use case, people start virtual machines all of the time.

And paging is slow as balls. That's what this whole article is about, modern machines are unusable when they start paging.

imho, there is only one proven-valid way to deal with fascists using propaganda (can we please stop calling it "fake news", thanks?): do it like the dude who punched Spencer. Beat them up until they're too afraid to even stand in their apartment in front of their windows.

Sounds rude, sounds militant, but there is no hope any more in the "civilized way" of countering fascists and their allies with facts, as evidenced by Trump - despite mountains of evidence that whatever he claims or does is bullsh.t, loads of people still believe them.

The fascist resurgence, no matter where - if Europe, the US, or Asia - has to be stopped at all costs if mankind wants to have a future as a liberal, open-minded society. The time for "peace" and "listening to fascists" is over, Trump getting elected proved this.

If you incentivize people to say they're "children", and don't bother to verify claims of being a "child", you get a lot of "children", but that statistic won't mean much.

The IA people have attempted to use "lack of paid support" to deny me the use of tools (PuTTY is one glaring example) that are already being used on other systems that I have access to, and that had to go through the same sort of IA approvals.

So they use the understandable business logic of "we'd like to have paid support" to some silly and pointless purposes.

And yeah, my experience is not universal, but it's not uncommon, either, if the tales I have heard from all sorts of professionals in this world have any truth to them.

Most people aren't programmers, and sad to say, most people employed writing code are not programmers.

I find trivial problems like this are good interview questions. What the person asks, says and does tells me a lot about what they would be like to work with. And it's not like you're using some bizarre datastructure or obscure CS case: this is an ordinary workaday problem. So it's not a "trick" or one-upsmanship, just "do you know your tools?"
Sets of things are somewhat different from transfinitely iterated sets of sets of sets of sets, though… (I'll call these ZF-sets).

Discrete sets of atomic objects are in fact (special) weak omega-groupoids and aren't ZF-sets. (In a ZF-set, every element of a set is itself a set, which is not true of, say, {red, green, blue}, unless we impose some completely artificial and obfuscating coding). You could just as well say that when we were counting the elements of sets thousands of years ago, we were doing the first rung of building up weak omega-groupoids, rather than the first rung of building up ZF-sets.

The name "weak omega-groupoids" makes them sound more intimidating as a concept than they actually are. They're just certain kinds of shapes. A bunch of dots (like a discrete set) is a weak omega-groupoid. A circle is a weak omega-groupoid. Spheres and donuts are weak omega-groupoids.

That said, I don't assert that weak omega-groupoids are any more intrinsically a foundational concept than ZF-sets; rather, I just note that ZF-sets aren't particularly elementary, either.
There’s also a newer thing called Google Data Studio, which creates neat visualizations directly from Sheets with even less effort.

It’s a no-brainer to feed all sorts of metrics (business or otherwise) from let’s say a Django app into Sheets, and with Data Studio decision makers can have all the freedom to combine them into complicated dashboards in accordance with current business landscape, pinging engineers only if new things need to be tracked.
Another note on the Lawsuit: Levandowski isn't a layman when it comes to Lidar. Between Darpa and beginning his tenure at Google he founded 510 systems, a little known lidar company that was fundamental to Google's mapping and autonomy efforts, which was quietly acquired by Google in 2011. I'm not sure how this might affect the outcome of the case, or if it will grant Levandowski any leverage in court.

That was just the media player remembering where it left off and restarting from that place. There may have been some metadata support in Be's filesystem to help that, but it's not technically necessary. It's about as amazing as your web browser reloading your tabs when you restart it.
It's clever but feels at least a 3/10 shitty. Dyn is an old company and back in the day they provided free subdomains while nobody else did. I haven't used them recently because their pricing seems so high. How do others feel about them?
So this magazine offers the idea of removing fixed pricing for electricity, but is electricity demand that elastic? Perhaps in some markets, so this might be a good option; but should not be made mandatory.

A lot of electricity demand is formed by weather which makes it inelastic in the short-run - you will still pay your bill if you are cold regardless of today's price. In the longer run (next season), you'll just make people give up using electric heating - for natural gas, wood and coal, depending on the region.

Consider another policy - a carbon tax, which is a very popular tool among economists or the similar fuel excise taxes. They will lower profits for plants that solve the intermittency issue with fossil fuels, creating an advantage for energy storage.

To keep power flowing, the system relies on conventional power plants, such as coal, gas or nuclear, to kick in when renewables falter. this is also partially incorrect - nuclear power plants usually are used to generate a fixed amount of electricity, only France I think which is a primarily nuclear in energy generation does it. In fact hydro-electric plants are commonly used for power balancing, with natural gas power plants in second place.

Machine learning algorithms are actually quite good at solving poorly specified problems. They learn from examples and don't require any definite problem specification.

For example, recognizing people in a picture is almost impossible to specify but relatively easy to learn, given enough examples.

Next time your facing a poorly specified problem, don't ask for a clear spec, instead ask for a million examples and train a deep net to solve it :)

> This can make it hard to attach an open source license to our code.

It's not clear to me why this is necessary/desired. Is it because of contribution to existing works protected by copyright or something else?

From the OSI's FAQ [1]:

> What about software in the "public domain"? Is that Open Source?

> There are certain circumstances, such as with U.S. government works ... we think it is accurate to say that such software is effectively open source, or open source for most practical purposes

What problem does this license aim to solve?
