I also have a pretty bad autobiographical memory. Sometimes I'm not sure whether I am X or X-1 years old, how many years I lived in a specific country, how long I worked for a company or simpler things like when was the last time I went to the movies. On the bright side, I've noticed that I can more easily forgive people and don't hold onto bad memories for long.

I don't know of a cure but taking a lot of pictures and having a spouse to serve as my backup memory helps a lot.
only management has a full picture

From the sounds of things, management has anything but "a full picture". Which is apparently part of the problem.
I suspect your parent is suggesting on the platform rather than the rocket. I'm not arguing whether or not it's a good idea, but that should shift a large part of the "big and heavy" issue off of the rocket.
Travis Kalanick is a dumpster fire of mediocre privilege. You've elevated the most average person imaginable and now treat him like he's the only one who can steer this magical unicorn. Literally anyone plucked from the ranks of white collar management could do a less incompetent job.

Some great answers here. As a financial noob and only 2 years into his career, I have a question about Roth vs Traditional for software engineers. Why would you choose traditional IRA when you expect software engineer salaries to mostly go up while you advance in your career? I understand Roth IRA has limited contribution, but what is a good alternative? I see a lot of articles about this topic on the internet, but I don't see specific advice for folks in the tech industry.

Scientists and academic institutions add to the confusion with the way they promote their work. Nobody puts language like "I did this, here is the result I saw. I think it might mean this" in a press release. It's always "Breakthrough research! Is the end of cancer in sight??"
Makes sense. Thanks! :)
I think you have this backwards. PyQt5 is well maintained by a company that produces a GPL version and sells a commercially licensed version, which was Qt's original business model. Pyside was originally created by Nokia back when Nokia bought Qt, re-licensed it as LGPL, and needed LGPL python bindings. It's no longer maintained and only works with Qt4. Pyside 2 is a port of pyside to Qt 5 that seems to have some level of activity, but no releases..
I used to have no trouble concentrating on one thing. Now, it seems nobody can work (or let anyone else work) without "multitasking". So, now I find it hard to concentrate even when I am allowed to focus on one thing[0]. The single biggest thing that helps with that is a timer and commitment to the timer.

I tried to run systems without swap a few years ago. That wasn't a very good idea. Most applications are very generous in their memory usage (not to mention allocation, almost always insane), and normally those pages are swapped out never to be heard from again. So without swap performance suffers since less pages are available for cache. (And in virtual environments it gets even worse since the balloon driver isn't really that great.) I didn't have time to see it through and abandoned it.

In light of that this recommendation from Red Hat is very interesting. Just a fifth of memory as swap is probably enough to get real world performance back, without getting completely stuck when something goes haywire. On large memory systems it should probably be even less.
This is based on an assumption. These things shouldn't have to be assumed. For example, check out the page for the example ETF from the article [1].

>Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying index over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments.

It makes the volatility clear. It tells you not to buy and hold. Would a Bitcoin ETF have those same type of warnings?
I think the author realizes they don't have a full picture. They never claim to know all the facts. They even say in so many words that Uber has been unwilling to share it's internal corrective actions or have executives discuss with investors the sort of issues they're dealing with. There seems to be a veil of secrecy between management and these particular investors.

I don't think being a founder should mean that once the check clears your free to do whatever you want and answer to nobody. I don't think that's a very common arrangement.

These investors are looking for actionable steps that Uber is taking to improve. Not a one-size fits all band-aid PR statement or middle-management meeting.
I generally try to follow a theme of books.

For example, I read the following books:

1) Counter-Insurgency: Theory and Practice (superb book)
2) General Patraeus
3) Obama: The Long Game
4) Ben Bernanke: The Courage to Act

As you can see, the books transition from warfare, to politics, to economics; each book is related to the other - this helps me really grasp all the factors at play within subsequent books

Their pricing didn't make sense for what I wanted either. I wanted to set up two very low traffic blogs that may some day get real traffic. So as any developer would do, I spent much more money when considering my billing rate per hour in making my own version.

I have a couple Ghost blogs set up with Docker, Let's Encrypt SSL & NGINX that run on AWS. It works great for me but I haven't taken the time to open source it yet because I very slightly modified the Ghost code to play nicer on AWS. I'm also using the SQLite database which may not be ideal for everyone but it prevents me from having to pay to use multiple "real" databases from AWS.

The perks are that it is really quick & easy to add multiple blog sites. Each one lives in its own Docker container. It's also very fast on the AWS free tier. Since it's on Docker, I can boot it up anywhere very quickly as well.

If anyone is interested in working with me on improving it, I'll gladly push it to a public GitHub repo.

> But the definition of computation is physical.

A lot of mathematics is inspired by physical considerations, but mathematical concepts are themselves not physical. In particular, computation is just having state transitions, not necessarily in a physical system. (Just like recursion is any form of self-reference in any definition, not necessarily procedure definitions.)

> The Church-Turing thesis is a physical hypothesis.

Then let's not mention it, and stick to what can be dealt with mathematically.
Halbach arrays are just a pattern or orientation of magnets that biases the total magnetic field to one direction.[1]

Polymagnets are just magnets with a pattern of multiple north-south poles on one face. [2]

At best you could have a Halbach array on a single polymagnet and have it be just as effective as individual magnets in the same pattern.

Though for large scale applications there wouldn't be much point as you could just use cheaper off the shelf magnets.

This is a very important issue. Doctors are over prescribing and jumping to unneeded surgeries. The question is, are they doing it out of fear of a malpractice lawsuit for denying a patient what they need or is it from kickbacks, incentives and the knowledge that the persons insurance will pay them?

Just because something works doesn't mean it's not a broken system.

Suprised that no one else has commented on this article.
That's a similar case, with the difference that there is a race condition here. "some chain" and "tee" are started in parallel, and it's a random process who comes first: "some chain" for opening inputfile for reading, or "tee" for opening (a new file, but with the same name) it for writing.

You can provoke it by

echo a > a
(sleep 1; cat a) | tee a

very likely "a" is empty now.
Ethereum is an incredibly ambitious and exciting project. I really want Ethereum to succeed, and it probably will.

But it is easy to underestimate the widespread adoption and trust in Bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the standard cryptocurrency store of value. There may end up being 10 other globally useful blockchains, but they will all use Bitcoin as their base store of value and medium of value exchange.
You can see this in websites too.

Distribution companies don't purchase energy from transmission companies. You were probably thinking of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), which are not the same thing as transmission companies. That said, it's not accurate to say that distribution companies purchase energy from RTOs either.

RTOs (and ISOs, which are similar) are non-profit organizations that ensure transmission grid reliability and fairness by operating markets in which generators and distribution companies bid or buy energy [1]. The market mechanisms have been designed to also incorporates network balancing and congestion control. RTOs/ISOs are the benevolent, omniscient regional gods in charge of coordinating dispatch for the purposes of ensuring transmission grid reliability. They facilitate sales, they don't sell directly.

Transmission companies, on the other hand, are for-profit organizations that build and maintain transmission lines. Their profits are constrained by regulation to be a certain percent return on equity [2], and they need to get permission from the RTO/ISO that monitors their region before making any operational changes to their transmission lines.

One more difference is in their scale. There are only ten RTOs/ISOs in North America, and they tend to cover very large regions of the continent. There are many transmission companies, and they tend to cover smaller regions.

For example, where I live in Southeast Michigan, the RTO/ISO is the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), and the transmission company is ITC [3], a spin-off from DTE Energy after deregulation forced DTE to pick two from their generation, transmission, and distribution capabilities (they kept generation and distribution, because post-deregulation that's where the money is). However, MISO's entire coverage area includes 52 transmission companies [4].

Basically, under deregulated energy markets transmission is treated as a public utility and the transmission grid is treated as common infrastructure. The grid is operated by non-profits and private companies who are required to be financially independent from generation and distribution interests. That's why the notion that distribution companies buy energy from transmission companies gives the wrong impression of how the system works, though I can see where the confusion could come from.

Yeah Webstorm's got a killer refactoring engine.

When I first began using it the lag made it unusable. I'm talking up to 2000ms delay for visual feedback on my typing. Somehow that resolved itself over time though, and with my newer rig it's actually pretty damn snappy. It only takes about 15-20 seconds to spin up a virtual machine and launch Webstorm. I can't imagine how quick VSCode might be for me. I'll have to try it out tonight, everyone here has convinced me it's worth checking out.

If anyone is interested, I could bring in a kind of fresh and neutral point of view on Android Studio, as I have never done Android nor iOS Developement before, but have seen many other IDE's, and just 2 days ago I did a fun project with Android Studio for the first time.

The goal of the project was to control a Lego Mindstorms via Bluetooth, over a attached Android Smartphone which can be remote controled by a WebInterface...

Luckily someone else did this allready, http://www.smartlab.at/articles/android-wifi-htm5-nxt-robot-... so I thought I can just import his Project and then start modifiying it a bit ...

I was curious if I could manage it, without reading a Tutorial or doing a Hello World for Android or something similar first ... because I have some Java and Eclipse experience and Android is basically just Java, right?

In the end, well, yes I kind of managed - but it took me about 4 hours messing with configuration files and reading help sites, before I had the whole project running (and not stable, though)

Main problem was, that the Project I used was quite old and for Android 2.2(which I did not know in the beginning) and Android Studio just imported it without warning, but ignored all the old configs and just set the sdk of the Project to the latest Android - and therefore just didn't run on, nor connect to my old Android 2.3 nor 4.x Devices - without telling me why not)

Otherwise, many things did worked out of the box (that means after a lot of downloading and waiting and then downloading again ...) and in a expected way ... and unlike what some people here think, I had the impression, that there was indeed quite some work and polishing behind it. (yes, IntellIJ seems nice)
Even though - it did felt adopted to and not made for Android in many situations.

And it is slow.

So very, very slow.

And even though the hardware I used, is quite old, other IDE's like Visual Studio(Code), or my main tool: Chrome Developer Tools, run fast enough.

And the UI is unfortunately not very intuitive. Too much buttons and information, I did not needed for the tasks I had and the ones I did needed were allmost burried under all that mess. In the end I usually found, what I searched for and it never took too long, but probably more because of my previous Eclipse(and similarish)-Experience, than because it was where I would expect it intuitively.

So to summarize I would say, it is indeed quite better than how Eclipse was in my memory, and I disagree with "gruesome embarrassment", but still, I am so glad, I don't have to actually work with it ... and I decided to not use it any further and rather do the mindstorms project again from scratch, but with HTML5. But this also might be, because I never really liked Java in the first place, so Android Studio maybe did not had a real chance to change this. But while thinking about it, it is also very possible, that I never enjoyed Java programming BECAUSE of Eclipse/NetBeans...

Bitcoin has been "objectively obsolete" for a while (Ethereum, Monero/ZCash etc.) yet its value increases. Maybe people are investing for some other reason such as network effects.
That makes sense. Thank you. `rewrite` should work in those cases.
The argument can easily be made that your ad blocker is the component that's intentionally breaking things.
As another example, take the newer remote management "features" included in modern BIOSes that run on a separate microcontroller in the system and allow access to network, memory, peripherals, etc., even if the computer is shut down (but still on mains). Let's imagine someone had an exploit or the keys for that. With that hole, you could never fully lock down. Sneakernet over a wide airgap is a good policy.

They seem to think we find this valuable.
In your FAQ page you appear to be more "opinionated" that Gravator should also be considered harmful and does tracking, which cuts entirely against what you see as the point of Isso.

So you tell them to go use Disqus if they need Gravator since they're basically stating they don't care about anti-tracking.

You then also state that someone else should do the work of integrating with Libravator.

It reads a bit gruff and asshole-ish.

On the other hand, TANSTAAFL and either someone should pay you or do the work to do the Libravator integration, and it does seem very odd to pick up Isso and then want to use an avatar service that also does tracking.

Presumably those people hate Disqus for other reasons, but it certainly doesn't have to be your concern.

I'd probably write the same kind of tone in a FAQ entry as well, because if its being given away for free then the flip side is that users on the internet shouldn't be demanding assholes and want things for free that you have zero interest in providing for free, and I think you make your position reasonably clear.

I've heard of people doing that with Wellbutrin, always struck me as strange -- it takes a couple weeks to notice any effects orally. A move of desperation, no doubt.

I will say some weird side effects have been cigarettes taste like shit and aren't addictive, cocaine doesn't work quite right, and MDMA doesn't work at all. Something about Wellbutrin binding strongly to the same receptors and blocking the others. Probably for the best though...
