Differently is right. Every buffer over/underrun can now potentially overwrite your "persisted" data - now we're all writing file/storage/db systems .... ;-)

It'll be wonderful if we actually can get some simplifications in our byzantine architectures, although - I wonder if it doesn't all boil down to our "RAM" (fastest storage) becoming "smarter" - as CPUs manage the three levels of cache - and we "only" loose the "slow disk/ssd" on the far end. CPU cache becomes the new RAM, and cache management microcode becomes our new memory allocators....?
At least the major TLDs have a track record that you can own a domain name for decades and swap out all the lower-level service providers (registrar, DNS, actual hosting). Those also have an interest in doing a good job since a) I pay them and b) I can swap them out if they don't. Random social media sites don't have that track record, and are less flexible.

Some platforms have been quite good at longevity as well, but it is unlikely they are going to beat the domain registration system (on which they also depend), and you don't have the option of just moving your content somewhere else and keep the URLs/reference alive. Yes, domains are not 100% stable either (they can be lost to legal action, or fraud/criminal activity), but at least the same level of risk exist for content on other services.

There are interesting attempts at alternatives, but they don't have the reach yet.
The "limited availability" is almost certainly for those with per-arranged deals with Intel and 2H is almost always Q4.

Its all readily googlable, certainly. My point was that its poor practice when writing a piece aimed at introducing people to a subject; if they have to go to google every few lines to see what something means, that distracts attention from what the article is actually trying to convey. For that matter, they could just as easily google for a different article.
Yes, but that's a red herring. Outside maybe of the JavaScript world, the available tooling isn't divided into immature and near legacy. Haskell itself is a good example of a mature language still growing in popularity.
I find that places built for cars tend to be unpleasant. Where people walk more, the urban environment is often kept in a state that is more enjoyable. I especially enjoy narrow streets.

You can do Proof of Authority instead of Proof of Work to cut down costs.

The real reason behind techniques such as PoW instead of just Distributed Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithms is scaling in terms of number of validators. Most of DBFTs (afaik Algorand is the only exception) don't really scale. Proof of Authority behaves similarly to PoW, since it also does not have that problem.

Go with DBFT unless you want to have huge number of validators.

Do you realize that just being able to save a file in a format does not necessarily mean being able to properly render files in that format that were created by other programs?

ODF is basically XKCD 927. It solves no problems in the real world. It has no new features. The effort spent by OpenOffice in implementing it could have been better spent on making the Word filters not suck - to this day I still have Word2003 format documents with tables that OO won't render properly.

I agree with OP's "grief factor" - difficult to estimate but really critical to your project timeline.

I'm also going to advocate my "pick something" suggestion; the first one of anything you buy in an unfamiliar product area will always be wrong. This applies to computers, cars, cameras, houses, everything; when you're entering the market you won't understand your own requirements and anti-requirements. So buy something cheap and standard then use it to understand how it's inadequate for you specifically. You'll also appreciate the expensive options.

If you've never bought a microcontroller, buy an Arduino. It may not be right but you'll have a lot of company.
More importantly they only really exist on some parts of Reddit

One thing I noticed in my time on reddit is that subreddits aren't insular silos. Values, opinions and views-du-jour often bleed over into other subreddits in ways that are hard to predict. Reddit is a really unique culture in that it is constantly, subtly, and rapidly, fluctuating. Just because a fraction of subreddits are being exploited through shilling doesn't mean that redditors in your favourite subreddit don't go there and that they themselves are (consciously or otherwise) not being affected. Even if they don't read the articles, then they saw those highly voted headlines. There's no escape! This involves all subreddits!
Potentially, sure, and if you're in an underground group like Anonymous you might want to expect more of the "insanely difficult" types because you represent a high value target.

As we've seen some recent elections though, you don't need to bother with people like you and me... just move the base with lies and promises. They'll catch you lying, and defend you for it! We'd catch you lying, and try to hold you to account.

It's like marketing a frozen food... you want to move units, not make the next great thing to eat that will be well received by the critics. Sure, a bunch of people won't fall for the marketing, but more than enough will to fill your coffers.

Snark aside, disposable income is possible. Maybe it comes by picking up a side gig, maybe it comes by choosing to avoid drinking/smoking/junk food, maybe it comes by replacing shorter trips (<10 mi) with bike rides. There are dozens to hundreds of margins where individuals can be super-savers. Use a bucket of water and fingers + soap or newspaper instead of toilet paper, use baking soda instead of toothpaste, eat dandelion leaves instead of buying kale, etc.

I lived two years among the poorest of the poor in the Philippines, who live on less then $2/day, and I've seen super saving as a necessity for survival. In the US we have wonderful things like food stamps, guaranteed healthcare at ERs, utilities help if you're poor, etc. that take so much of the risk out of life. If you're living on rice + salt + parasite-laden water, cooking your food in a stolen pot by burning coconut shells from your manual labor during the day as a copras harvester (and getting your protein from unripe jackfruit, salted minnows, purloined coconut, and the wild bird that falls into your traps), living in a house that has a thatched roof and split bamboo walls and floors, and you still send your kids to school and pay the $100/year in tuition to get them there, then seeing how to save literally any disposable income makes a whole lot of sense. We're so wealthy in the US that we have little idea what it means to be truly poor.
By the way the person (upvote seller) who was called in the first part of the video ironically didn't do his part to make sure that the caller wasn't scamming him.

He didn't ask any questions and he didn't put the caller on the spot. Doing that (if well done) would have allowed him to potentially uncover the true purpose of the call even if it wasn't admitted. He allowed the caller to control the conversation (with his backstory) and as a result went along with everything and just answered questions. Also hard to believe that the average caller to this service asks questions like that and sounds like that. [1] Part of what I do involves ferreting out the truth when contacted by phone and by email so maybe this was just obvious to me after hearing the interaction.

[1] Because they are real customers. Anyone who takes calls for a living and isn't asleep can usually tell the patterns of what a real customer sounds like.

Could this situation be described by nesting sentences?

"Taro saw (Noriko wears a dress)."

To extend your example:

formal(past(miru))(topic="Taro", object="Noriko")
"Taro saw Noriko."

formal(present(kiru))(topic="Noriko", object="doresu")
"Noriko wears a dress."

Nested:

formal(past(miru))(topic="Taro", object=(formal(present(kiru))(topic="Noriko", object="doresu")) )

"Taro saw (Noriko wears a dress)."
"Taro saw Noriko wear a dress."

"Taro wa (doresu wo kiru Noriko wa(?)) wo mimashita"
"Taro wa doresu wo kiru Noriko wo mimashita"

Does that make sense?

I would opt for a more conventional solution, you can get 256GB of ram for under $2k, and then enable write caching.
Terraform has lists and maps, which takes care of a number of use cases at least. Now, if you want types as opposed to data structures then you start to get into structures that are tough to serialize into JSON that is helpful for interoperability with even less featureful languages / DSLs.

Instead of if statements, pattern matching constructs would probably suffice for avoiding some of the concerns with avoiding loops and branching (limits and predictability upon the DAG and resulting state machine being generated as I understand it).

In any case, I've found plenty of power by using custom data providers that use whatever logic I want and feed that to Terraform providers and modules to instantiate. I think the level of maturity with the Terraform community is still in the early stages and emphasis will shift to data provider based constructs for orchestration.
Does anyone else have experience meditating this much? Many people seem to attribute a lot of their success to meditating daily and swear its benefits elsewhere in life. However, two hours a day as well as one sixth of the year nonstop is a lot of meditating. At that point are you meditating just because you enjoy it or is it still beneficial enough to be worth the time commitment?
Is this really as "surprising" as the article says? I would assume it's obvious that not every woman is fit for motherhood. The reason why the majority of women used to have children as compared to the numbers of today isn't because they wanted it or were fit for it. They had to.

Now that's no longer the case (in our society), of course less women will want children. And these women speaking up, I guess they're old enough that they still felt the pressure and gave in to it. I expect that the number of births will continuously decrease as new generations are born. We still have people from the 50s living among us after all.

I do Android apps, and tried lots of different advertising approaches. Admob has always been a central ad network to consider, then everything else. So first you want to decide if you want Admob to be your ad mediator or not. If a third-party one works acceptably with Admob, that's your best choice.

Then you want to do the split. Admob has high fill rates and good numbers for most countries. The top competitors usually only have high fill rates for countries like the USA. Usually their numbers (click through rate, payment per click etc.) is less for those countries as well. I usually send most traffic to Admob and let a little dribble over to an Inmobi or AOL One (Millennial Media) or whatnot.

Aside from spending $150 on a few things initially (A few months of a VPS, $25 for a Google Play developer account etc.), all the money I have spent on my apps - advertising, translating, icon art, VPS charges etc. - have come out of revenue. That was easier up until 2014, when people were getting their first Android phones, and their weren't a lot of apps and Android programmers out there. Now there are a lot of good apps, Android programmers etc., so getting traction on an app costs more and/or takes longer.

I get e-mails all the time for some new ad network and ignore almost all of them. Admob towers over most of the other ad networks for people building standard Android apps with Android Studio. I use the major second tier ad networks just for redundancy purposes.

Some people here are recommending you charge for your app right off the bat. Here is some advice which I think might save you a lot of time and headaches. Think of an app which you can write in a few days/weeks, but which has some roulette wheel chance of reaching your monetization goal. An example for me would be this Stopwatch app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unwrappeda... ), which I worked on for two weeks, after which I released version 1 of it. Then - promote it however you would have promoted your paid app. Then sit back and see. What's the response to it? Not that much in the way of free downloads? You're giving it away for free. Think how much higher the bar will be if people have to ante up to use the app, even if it's 99 cents. People will also have higher expectations - it's not some free thing they tried - they're customers who paid for it.

There are too much ifs...and if you are a developer you know the probability of your statement being true.
If nothing else, I could see meditation helping with history work in that it sort of forces you to be more honest with yourself. I say 'sort of,' because that way of writing it may give the wrong impression. It's like, you can see your alternate motivations at play more readily and decide against following up, whereas ordinarily we trick ourselves into thinking we have only pure motivations.

To give an example, consider how this might affect authors of literature. Hemingway among others has made a big deal about writing that is 'truly honest'. Part of the difficulty there is that when you're writing, you have competing motivations in constructing all aspects from high level plot and characters to individual sentences. Some of those motivations have to do with vanity, career goals, laziness, etc. (e.g. writing in a style that establishes your intelligence, rather than because it serves communication). After enough time practicing meditation of a certain style (excellent description in the article), you start seeing the presence of these other factors as you work on things and can more easily choose to let them go.

Comments on the 1.6B Year Old Red Algae from Central India
I worked in IT for around, 10 years as a sysadmin/devops/backend developer. Around 2010 i realized i was simply not happy at all with what i was doing. I hated it, and felt like i was constantly borderline burning out. I had grown fat and lazy. Nothing about my job brought me happiness regardless of where i worked.

So i decided to drop everything and go back to school to become an electrician. I loved it and i loved working with my hands, and compared to working in IT i loved it so much more. I loved the people i was working with, and we worked well. Mainly installing surveillance for SMB's.

However about a week before my apprenticeship ended i was installing a ceiling camera, and a perfectly fine ladder ended up collapsing and giving out. I landed in the worst possible way and severely damaged my spine and lower back.

End result even after a ton of physical therapy i couldn't do what was required of me as an electrician. So i ended up going back to IT to do devops. I am extremely fortunate that i had a second skillset to rely on or i am not sure how i would make ends meet.

However i still find working in IT, soul crushing and draining. I hope eventually i can go back into the trades and do something i want to do.
The specific realities that I was referring to are that a college education is expensive and expected to be self-funded. While non-discharagability makes it more practical to lend, it does not affect either of those underlying conditions! Instead, it just delays their realization, basically reinventing indentured servitude with college replacing the boat.
Scaling beyond what fits inside one computer is a reasonable concern that this addresses, but ultimately that one computer can be sucked up by a tornado at an inconvenient time, so distributed systems will always be necessary for availability and durability.
