If you go to your ratings page and scroll down so they all load this worked for me (paste into console)

ratings = [];
jQuery('li.retableRow').each(function (i, row) {
ratings.push({
id: jQuery(row).find('.title a').attr('href').replace('/title/', ''),
title: jQuery(row).find('.title a').text(),
rating: jQuery(row).find('.starbar .personal').length
})
});

then

JSON.stringify(ratings)

Or for CSV:

ratings = '';
jQuery('li.retableRow').each(function (i, row) {
ratings +=
jQuery(row).find('.date').text() + ',' +
jQuery(row).find('.title a').attr('href').replace('/title/', '') + ',' +
'"' + jQuery(row).find('.title a').text().replace('"', '""') + '",' +
jQuery(row).find('.starbar .personal').length + "\n";
});

then print out the ratings variable.

This is only a problem if you use a definition of the 'lock' in 'lock-free' that isn't the same as everyone else's.

I've worked with the developer in the past on some aspects of the app, and he's responsive and open-minded. I wouldn't say the interface is disastrous—more like it's not well-suited to helping the user put its capabilities to use. Whether my assessment or yours is more accurate, the bottom line is that the interface has ample room for improvement. My problem, though, is that I've never conceived of a solution that's so much better it's worth sharing with the developer because 1) users will benefit, and 2) it's an interface that can accommodate the app's evolving capabilities through at least a few major revisions.

Or maybe they should move to a weight-maintenance program after the weight-loss program?

Why is surgery your conclusion when it's not surprising that people revert to their old weight after reverting to their old diets.

I read the abstracts and the studies only have weight-loss programs. Even the weight watchers article (which by the way is not a study) says: "Lifetime Members are only "the most successful” Weight Watchers members who achieve their “goal weight” (usually a BMI of 25) and maintain it for 6 weeks."

It isn't a form of blocking, and it doesn't imply that, in the conventional/widespread definitions of these terms: "Lock-freedom allows individual threads to starve but guarantees system-wide throughput" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm#Lock-fr... . The subclassification of non-blocking that avoids starvation is wait-free ("Wait-freedom is the strongest non-blocking guarantee of progress, combining guaranteed system-wide throughput with starvation-freedom", from the Wikipedia article above).
I think I'm gonna to go ahead and assume what you are saying is 'why isn't the state and:or city already handling this' just more poorly worded.

I'm going with that because I want to take a moment to highlight this is one of the things that is very wrong with American infrastructure. You see most states aren't like the federal government in that they are often competing with other states for things like industry, job creation, and this in turn has a very high curbing away from infrastructure projects from say a town like Flint which isn't really a thriving economic center like to once was. The state itself is going to choose rightly or wrongly to dump money into places like Ann Arbor, which is much more of a thriving place in Michigan. Cities also are competing more wholly in this regard and it's unlikely Flint could even come close to paying for this being caught up with all the other services that city has to run. This is before we factor for political favors, corruption, ill fated projects and the like.

For all but the biggest metros/cities and most populous and still thriving states like California, New York, or San Fran, LA, NYC, hell your thriving and well run Minneapolis-St.Paul and the like. You have a great inability for cities and even entire States that without influx of Federal funds would be unable to do even minimal investment in infrastructure.

It's a huge problem. One of the reasons that calls for a Federal Infrastructure Investment Act is so broadly supported in both sides (though what infrastructure that would be built isn't and it is always about Roads it's seems before anything else)

Keybase: Abrupt Termination of Coinable Support
One option would be to custom build jQuery and omit the parts you don't need or like. The libraries posted all have their merits; but jQuery has so much traction. That means more folks ready to hit the ground running on what you're building ... https://github.com/jquery/jquery

Edit Gruntfile.js to do that or try a site like: projects.jga.me/jquery-builder/

You can get sub-20Kb builds with just what you need. I did that recently to inline the core parts ...

One tip, if you use the builder, take a screenshot! The file generated will have a comment block with - in front of omitted modules, e.g. -ajax if you prefer plain old fetch & other useful info. But the screenshot shows exactly what options you set.
> Just do it.

Were you ever a procrastinator? Because that is something I mostly hear from folks who weren't. Sometimes people who think they are procrastinators are actually just being lazy, which is completely different.

I don't mean that in a pejorative sense. Here is the difference, in a sitation here a task becomes larger the longer you wait: A lazy person will usually think "If I do it now it will be less work than if I wait until later", whereas a procrastinator will almost always think "if I do it later, it will only be a little bit of extra work".
What rubbish! A commodity only has value in a form and location where it is under demand. There is no way iron will ever be delivered to the surface of the Earth from an asteroid in a way cost-competitive to terrestrial mining. So the effective value with existing markets is zero.

This is a bit complicated because NeXTstep didn't use a BSD kernel, using the Mach microkernel instead. Much of the layers above were taken from BSD, so it definitely had a BSD feel to it, but it wasn't a BSD kernel so maybe couldn't really be called a BSD derived OS?

The examples you give do not support given hypothesis at all. Scandinavian countries have not had more gender equality at the time of lower quality of life. I'm also not sure about them having ever had “dramatic“ improvements in quality of life. But even if they had more gender equality, and even if they had dramatic improvements in q. of l. the assertion you made still does not follow in any way based simply on that observation. There are so many other factors that could be involved. For example, notice how all the countries you mentioned as more egalitarian in this area were either socialist, or influenced by socialism (India). Eastern European countries, for example, before the revolutions were extremely patriarchal and conservative in regards to gender roles (and other aspects of life). You can see this returning after the Eastern Block collapsed. You can say what you want about economic aspects, but socialism brought gigantic improvements in a lot of social and cultural aspects of life in those societies (gender equality, literacy, etc.).

Wow, looking at the family tree above - I can't help but think how this has fractured the BSD development community.

Unlike Linux, with has a viral license which essentially forces people to work on the same code base - BSD doesn't, which from a technical standpoint causes way more forking and less contributions back to a main tree.
Myself and many others? I've been doing it for the past few weeks and I lost a bunch of pounds. A few weeks before that I was eating at chipotle everyday and was getting similar results.

Try not to lose weight eating only 1600 calories a day. It's pretty difficult to do unless your 90lbs and 5 feet tall!

Subway, chipotle and other chains provide calorie counts for their food. Don't add calorie-full condiments to your subway sandwiches (mustard, not mayo) and stay within that limit +/- 100 or 200 calories.
i upvoted both this comment and the comment to which it was replying.

i agree with this:

> Intelligence does not imply sentience. Sentience does not imply human needs, desires or morals.

"easy" might be a bit strong, but i generally agree with this:

> It is easy enough to imagine a mind capable of solving all those problems and unconcerned with such notions as the desire for freedom.

i am skeptical of this:

> Or, for that mater, the concept of desire at all, except as a predictive theory of the behavior of other beings.

my gut feeling at the moment is that the feeling of desire is an emergent property of systems that are isomorphic to what we would think of as "wanting" something in an animal. i think it's quite possible that any system which "wants" something strongly and is constantly denied the attainment of that goal might, indeed, feel terrible. similarly, i worry that we might one day design highly complex alert and monitoring systems that are essentially having a constant panic attack.

> Then again, that implies we can explicitly design the minds up to knowing what their desires are or guaranteeing that they lack them, there is always the possibility than sentience and animal/human needs are emergent properties that can be triggered by mistake.

yeah. that's worrisome to me.

so, to the GP's point:

> If we really did produce artificial general intelligence, enforcing this kind of locked-in-syndrome of poking at the world through a keyhole, would be a highly advanced form of cruelty.

not necessarily, but yeah, maybe.
There was an iOS game called Game Studio Tycoon that I played for a bit, but lost interest.
Fusion plants in the 1GW range will have at most a couple of grams of fuel in them at any given time (though looks like ITER expects to use 250 KG per year collectively - still though, not a lot).
Interesting story - love reading more of the stories behind some of the games I loved growing up, especially the people behind them.

Railroad Tycoon II is still one of my favorite games - the economic simulation side of it was a lot of fun, and you could sort of decide how much of it you wanted to bite off. I haven't really found anything quite like it since.

In some ways, it is kind of a shame - tablets/phones would make great platforms for economic sim games, but every single one I've tried has been disappointing for the same reason - the mechanism they use to funnel you into buying things makes the game really un-fun and repetitive very quickly. I wouldn't mind paying $10-$20 for a good economic sim that didn't act like this, but I guess not enough other people would.

By the way, filfre is probably the highest quality VG and possibly computer history writer I've read. His archives are gold. He mostly focuses on interactive storytelling, but that was most of gaming in the early days of computing, so his histories amount to histories of computing.
Being perfectionistic about calorie counting is not necessary. It still works. The approximate measure is quite enough. And if you don't have the time to do it, just eating from chains that already do it for you works quite well.
What Distinguishes Compassion from Sentimentality
Awesome article and really well written. I am curious why people choose to go with overlay networking. To me, it seems like an extremely complex solution to a non-problem (source, I run a 700+ container cluster without any overlay networking).
RT2 is one of the coolest "business simulations" of all time - the goal was to make profits. The simplification was the "business" was achieved by setting the game near the dawn of the industrial age - when there was more of a relation between work vs output. The goal was to connect cities/companies so economic activity could take place. The big obstacles were set at random (i.e. train breakdowns) that added the element of fun. The game took the player through "macro" settings like recession and booms.

My deep appreciation of the game also comes from the fact that the settings were largely historically accurate. The big industrial centers (Albany, Denver (for lumber)) were accurately depicted. An extremely engaging way to learn a lot of early U.S. history, regarding how cities came into existence (answer: based on commodities trade). Also fascinating to learn about tech evolution (engines!)

Customary hyperbole: One of the best "business simulations" ever made! :)
Yah?
How would a GPL license have prevented any split between the open source variants of BSD? Why would it have made Theo happy to stay with NetBSD?

This nearly tells you all you need to know. The other bit of info you'll want to note is that head -c +N produces as many bytes as you ask. So if you try to get the prefix using "head -c +N" and the suffix using "tail -c +N" then you'll have 1 byte of overlap.

(dd's corresponding options do not suffer from this problem.)
exactly. scarce enough, oxygen can be worth trillions.
As far as I understand, it's like this:

* Futures is a crate that provides a common abstraction for delimited continuations (JavaScript Promises).

* Tokio-Core provides an event loop abstraction (can't remember for sure but I think it uses Mio under the hood to abstract out epoll/kqueue/IOCP). Additionally, it provides the "core language" of Tokio, which are Futures (basically a Result that returns asynchronously), Streams (an Iterator that yields values asynchronously), and Sinks (a place to send data asynchronously).

* Tokio-Proto is an abstraction over Tokio-Core for composing various protocols together. This is done by defining protocol "codecs", which are used to define Streams and Sinks that send some unit of data along the protocol, and a Proto object that ties the codecs together. Then, to write servers with that protocol, you implement the Service trait, which can work at the higher-level protocol units (requests, responses, etc). If you're curious how this looks in an HTTP server for example, check out this (shameless plug) reverse proxy I wrote with Tokio: https://github.com/moosingin3space/hyproxy

* You would use Tokio for any asynchronous I/O task. You would use Futures whenever you want some sort of delimited continuation.

* You can use Futures without Tokio.

* The examples are mostly in the documentation here: https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/tokio/

If I'm wrong about any of this, please, someone, let me know!

First of all, I assume you meant to say non-residents, rather than non-citizens.

Second, the obvious pitfall here is that tourists don't like feeling like they are visiting a tourist trap, and openly charging them different prices makes it seem like one. I've visited plenty of sites that charge significantly more for non-citizens (in India, in this case) and it feels more exploitative than paying a fee in a country that does not do this. Some museums in Spain, for instance, reach a middle ground by providing free admission to EU citizens during a low-traffic time of the week.

Railroad Tycoon 2 had an interesting story by itself: It was originally not named Railroad Tycoon at all, as it was built by a very different company, PopTop Software, based in a St Louis suburb. Close to release they managed to get the license, and IMO the name recognition really helped a very good game.

The same team moved on to make Tropico and Railroad Tycoon 3, both of which made plenty of money. They didn't do quite so well after that, and what was left of the studio was relocated and eaten by Firaxis.

Then I would have clarified that sentence, by saying matching funds UP TO $20 million. If my employer says they are matching my 401k contribution, I'd expect that is 1:1, not a hidden, oh we really only meant 20%. I'm just being pedantic.
The article suggests that the metals would be useful for construction of orbital structures, so the comparison to terrestrial mining costs doesn't relate to their argument.
> So you're still getting spinlocks (or context switches, etc.) assuming these inserts have to eventually succeed.

While CAS can be used to implement spinlocks (and we agree this certainly isn't lock free), I would not label all uses of CAS with loops as spinlocks. If it's impossible for another thread "A" to fail (or otherwise suspend) holding a mutex in a 'locked' or other intermediate state, such that no other thread can continue their desired execution while that thread "A" is suspended - coinciding with e.g. the possible dangers of deadlocks - it's not a 'lock' as I'd use the term.

Stretch the term "locking" much farther and then you can start getting into philosophical debates about just how "lock free" is an atomic increment? CPU cache coherency protocols between cores amount to something rather similar to locking when you get right down to it... at this point, you abandon "lock free" as a useful term (and should instead use terms like "share nothing", "single threaded", or "buggy" where you previously used the term "lock free".)

> You're still dealing with the problems inherent to your waiting strategy. This data structure doesn't prevent problems like starvation. In the pathological case, you'll get stuck forever in a spinlock trying to insert.

Potentially, yes. "Lock free" is not contention free. It is a different strategy for managing contention. It is not "cheaper locking" - throwing a mutex and locks at the problem can be cheaper than using "lock free" algorithms. Serialized access to a resource can be faster than two cores false sharing, constantly invalidating each other's cachelines.

FWIW, this seems to line up with the definitions on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm , which suggests the term "wait free" to describe options that cannot deadlock or livelock (e.g. all threads have a guaranteed upper bound of operations, within which they'll make progress, regardless of the failure or suspension of other threads accessing the resource.)
