Correlation can tell us where to search, but the article concludes with the author being smug about sprinkling chili onto his omelette. There are still plenty of confounding factors, hardest of which to control for post-hoc would be self selection bias.

This study just takes the data from a prior study and analyzed to see if one of the specific variables would predict another. There's no way to tell if they just did this for all of the variables, if they did this without having a prior hypothesis then the results should only be used for constructing another study, not as interpretable results that we can take action on.
This is solving a people problem with a process. That doesn't work very well, in the long run.
I don't want to customize everything, I want nice defaults, where advanced features are tucked away... I also don't want to spend another 2 hours a few times a year fixing whatever problem the latest round of updates have caused. much more rare in windows in my own experience, I know two people who have had bad aftermath from updates, but one turned out to be bad ram that caused the issue.

All the same, I would much rather have macOS with a start/taskbar a little closer to windows... the instance previews are nice, and it's a bit easier to work across multiple monitors... Most of my time is spent in VS Code and a couple browsers, so as long as I have bash (comes with git in windows), I'm pretty much good in any OS...
Same here. I think the game presupposes familiarity with a particular sort of casual puzzle game that I haven't played.

Password rules are one of those bike-shedding moments project managers and clients love so much. To show their brilliance, they invent complex password rules, define database field lengths and ask for infinite scroll on everything. Can't expect a code monkey to do the job right.
Neutralizing the ME is not a full "disable," because Intel has made that exceptionally hard to do.

Even this "neutralized ME" still boots before the main x86 CPU, and still runs even when the machine is off (if it's plugged in or has a laptop battery). And this "neutralized ME" still has an unknown binary that runs, it's just that the LibreBoot.org folks have found a way to strip it down to the bone without breaking the digital signatures.

Yes it is.

The number of connections to one host isn't relevant in HTTP2. As ublock is blocking some ~20 connections these are going to different hosts. Connecting to a different host in HTTP2 is no different then HTTP1.1

If your HTTP2 is terminating at MANY boxes within your infrastructure you are failing to understand how HTTP2 works. Connections within a single TLS/TCP/IP connection are free, new TLS/TCP/IP connections cost exactly as much as before.
As my dad pointed out, the answers are passwords. If you restricted passwords to every possible make of car, for example, it would be incredibly weak - too little total entropy in the possible answers.

Their API is outstanding as well.

You can talk to it from just about everywhere including the terminal, that's a big reason I use it, it acts as a clearing house for all my stuff, I even use a chrome plugin to store "bookmarks" to stuff I've clipped.
Same here, especially since fiction rarely has diagrams or maps.
> SMBs are fine with actual post-its!

I've tried many things (including Trello) and even bought a dedicated laser printer and wrote a small shell routine so I could print 3x5 cards to keep on my physical desk. By force of habit and ease of use nothing so far has topped post it notes (other than printed 3x5s or hand written 3x5's) for keeping track of things that I need to keep on top of.
Given their existing positioning of "the interview process is broken and we're here to fix it", I see no reason to credit them with the opinion that client company interviews are optimized for finding people who will perform well. There is no way to reconcile "the current interview process is broken" with "our goal is to find people who do well under the current interview process".

- Random access.

- Non-random access: we are surprisingly good at knowing where in a book something we read was, and flipping back to it. While keeping our finger in the place or places we were. You can build a working stack of locations in paper that's a pain to do in every e-reader I've tried.

- Notes/Marginalia/Markup are available on both, but with vastly more expressiveness and options on paper (though without search)

- Share/re-share/bequeath

- Some evidence of better comprehension and retention of physical reading vs screens.

- No batteries required.

- Attractive physical objects can be a pleasure to own (and a pain in the ass when moving house)
Well, something had to change, and I doubt it was the effect delta from high rise aesthetic. We all probably seen plenty of run down, broken glass and graffiti yet low-rise neighbourhoods.

What often happens with projects in Europe is as metropolitan areas expand, the then-outskirts where the blocks originally were become attractive located land. Not sure the mechanics of this in France though, but could be the same dynamics.
This would make sense if it created those directories, but IMHO it should fail to start if the path exists and isn't owned by www process. The function that does chown() is even called ngx_create_paths().
A barely twenty years old technology is not gonna take over a five hundred old refined one.
It's more than nostalgia -- interacting with a physical object is more stimulating than an e-reader. Paper books have a smell, a texture, and a colorful cover. You might remember where something happened in a story because of how many pages you held in your hand.

It seems that if they offer accounts to non-business users, they have to pay VAT themselves in every country in the EU. If they only offer accounts to businesses, they can have the business pay the VAT instead, saving themselves some accounting.

In the US dentistry is a separate track.

Many more people would like to become dentists than are accepted into dental schools.

Of course having standards is good for patient outcomes. That said, I bet lots and lots (and lots and lots) of the rejected applicants would be fine dentists.
Don't actually have a blog, but I've been thinking about one for some Emacs-related stuff (though it would be feeble compared to the Emacs-related blogs already out there!). I assume you know about Planet Emacs, but if not, planet.emacsen.org. :)

Anyway, about the fonts: I use monospace fonts for code, but I like proportional fonts for Org documents, so I have this in my org-mode hook:

(buffer-face-set :family (face-attribute 'variable-pitch :family))

Then I use monospace in Org code blocks like this:

(set-face-font 'org-block-background frame-font)

You could also set that one in the customize interface.

"why don't we speak about rights of minorities on this forum."

Yo, you post here. You're factually, actively posting and could post about rights of minorities, too. So I'm asking you: why don't you post about these things? Why is it something only brought up as an ideal in a discussion that's about something else, but not something done by you on its own without outside consensus or approval? What has stopped you so far?

Think a lot about this for the rest of your life. Seriously. I have, and it's revealed a lot of truths I was too stubborn to see about myself. I feel dumb for not being introspective, thoughtful, and self-critical about my own set ways and behavior at a younger age. I thought I was, but I was in my own world, rarely challenging myself on new information.
I prefer to read on my kindle. More convenient and can be used at night (paperwhite). I like to read, be it a paper book or an ebook. I don't see why the whole ebooks vs. paper is a thing, at all.

Well that's silly. How do they plan to decelerate?
The flip side is that if you regard them as having built "a feature not a product" (as discussed in the article) and having started at a time when developing real-time shared card dragging/dropping was a relatively technically difficult problem and since been copied by every competing service and plenty of OS library demos, a $425m exit is seriously impressive...
I have the opposite experience. I read a lot on the train and I read a lot of books on the Kindle I probably would have avoided before because they seemed so large that I didn't want to carry them or they just seemed imposing. I also find reading for extended periods on the Kindle far more comfortable. The only thing I don't prefer it for is books where I know I'll be flipping back and forth a lot (textbooks, reference manuals, etc.).

The author means as a means to distribute programs and executables, not libraries.
> You cannot write one in fewer than a few MLOCs. Same goes for a modern operating system, or for an organizational software. It's always easy to say that about problem domains you're not familiar with.

Split it into several programs that can be verified independently.

> In order to keep the proof feasible, they couldn't just write any code they wanted, but were restricted to using only the simplest algorithms ("braindead simple" he called them).

Frankly, I can only see this as a good thing.

> but there are results in computational complexity that mean this would be pretty much unattainable for most real software (even proofs of propositional calculus grow exponentially).

This comes from the assumption that you first develop the system to be verified and only then verify it.

> I don't think you realize how small is the set of software that can be written in this way.

As if more software were automatically a good thing.

I speak Japanese as a second language and the dictionary is absolutely amazing for someone like me trying to read a Japanese book.
Agreed too; that's how it is at Google. Code reviews aren't "hey reviewer, take a look at this code so you understand it and rubber-stamp it".

As a reviewer you're the gatekeeper, and no code is submitted unless the author and all reviewers are happy. Happy as in, if you approved the change and the author leaves tomorrow, you're the maintainer of that code. No one should be rude in the review, but the understanding needs to be that the power lies on the reviewer to hold their approval indefinitely until they're happy with the code. That's a cost for the author and costs almost nothing to the reviewer, so as an author you learn very fast to not waste time discussing whether something "is not important enough": You apply all suggestions you don't disagree with, and explain your disagreement about those that really matter.

United Airlines does exactly this and it's hilariously insecure. The secret questions are preselected and the answers must be from their set of answers for each. There's only 8-10 choices for each (ex: Favorite music? pop / jazz / classical / etc).

Okay, I am going to share my secret for finishing.

I discovered this late, but am glad I did. Are you ready for it?

The secret is this:

don't start something till you finish the last thing, no matter how poorly.

This goes even at a "micro" level, so don't start distributing the load on servers till you finish the last thing (interface), no matter how poorly you finish the last thing.

Now you have the secret. Go forth and complete.

Of course, they are heavier into natural gas than their fossil fuel competitors, so a carbon tax impacts them the least, therefore giving them a competitive advantage.

The only reason it's not politically viable is because a minority of Americans have forced one political party to say so. That can change quickly. They think that they're protecting "their side" but even "their side" disagrees with them.

There's no excuse, absolutely no excuse, to be against a carbon tax. It's the most libertarian, market friendly way to deal with carbon emissions.

Besides all the comments about his article being from a bizarro-world, it should be noted that once Trello infrastructure was in place it was impossible to move it.

Turning a todo-list app into "the single-source of truth for a company" would require monstruous schema changes and changes in all the live updates thing etc., and everything would be slower, heavier etc., all that and you couldn't have known if that would catch up or if you would end up losing your users that liked Trello just because it was a simple board thing. It would be better to start a new app.
Crowdfunding Health Care: Who gets funded – and who gets left behind
Well there hasn't been too much discussion about it as of late because of problems with the republican congress and DJT's notorious ambiguity. I did find this though:

>White House spokesman Sean Spicer said "strong public-private partnerships" would be key to rebuilding the nation's roads, bridges and airports.
"Infrastructure used to be a point of American pride, but now an overbearing, ineffective regulatory system can keep projects in limbo for years," Spicer said. "The government has wasted too much of the taxpayers' money on inefficient and misguided projects."
The White House sees infrastructure as a potential large job creator but officials have said the federal government cannot shoulder the entire burden. The administration is looking at toll roads, tax credits and other ways to spur private investment.
Major real estate and private equity executives attended the meeting, including developer Richard LeFrak, Vornado Realty Trust Chief Executive Officer Steve Roth, and Apollo Global Management co-founder Josh Harris, the White House said.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-infrastructure-m...

That would lead me to believe tax breaks for toll roads is still on the table.
The idea of rent seeking is becoming very popular and the best place to see it is Silicon Valley. Everything is becoming subscription based and housing is pretty much out of reach for everybody. Only way to afford anything is to rent it. Things my parent owned by the time they were 26 I have no choice to rent, since I couldn't even imagine right now buying them (even though I make 3x what they were making at the same age). For example I rent a house with friends ($5000 a month spilt by 4), a parking sport ($200), and lease a car ($200). I don't own any music or movies (Netflix and Spotify). Its a convenient way to live in terms of flexibility but you never feel like these things are yours and that leaves this sense of detachment. At any time these things could be taken away and you would have nothing. I grew up in the country and have the ultimate goal of buying myself land where I can build a house and workshop.

Well yeah; since right now kids are still human beings, the animal is just going to be far more receptive to staring at broad spectrum light than narrow spectrum light. That's before accounting for what we already know about human children needing way more tactile stimulation than adults.

"Because it's a todo app" is an obvious response to the title but the content is interesting.

Trello Gold with emoji support and custom backgrounds was a weak proposition and they could have moved into enterprise faster. Still, it's amazing they did as well as they did.

Kanban boards and Chat apps are the new todo lists - ten a penny - which makes people dismiss the notion of building a business around such a trivial feature.

This is a mistake. Most of those apps are badly designed, meaning for those looking to eke out a living rather than break $1 billion, there's still plenty of opportunities.

For example, Diigo the highlighting app is relatively unknown but is a hit with educators and so makes cash in a corner where few competitors are looking. The top stopwatch on The Play Store makes over $400,000 with in-app sales.

And Wunderlist sold for $125 million.
And Todoist is profitable.

It's a big Internet out there.
