If you're looking for an upgrade and/or do low-level stuff, the TI-36X Solar handles binary, hexadecimal, and octal quite nicely (though you do start running out of digits if you're trying to convert big numbers to binary). It also has a number of logic functions that you may or may not find useful.

Lately, I've been delighted by the equally competent fraction input/display system. I've been doing a lot of woodworking in US customary units, and the 36X beats the pants off of any other calculator I've owned[0].

Truly, it's a well thought-out little tool. So much so that when the display on mine pooped out, I went on eBay and found another one for 10 USD shipped.

[0] If somebody wants to recommend a dedicated builder's calculator that handles fractional inches handily, I'm all ears, but I haven't owned one to this point. Calculating board-feet would be a nice plus.

Highly recommend the whole thing, but 40:45 to ~46:00 is, to your point, the most eloquent argument I've ever heard about this topic.
My intuition is that there is a small delta in impact between a 'reasonable' diet and a 'perfect' diet, and so playing in that margin is pointless. But I've always felt it notable that you can consume a whole day's worth of calories in about 5 minutes with a super happy value meal, and then be hungry again a few hours later. I'd say avoid doing that.

Ethical lapses are sadly a possibility in any scientific endeavor, but to generalize from a few examples of that to a global conspiracy isn't scientific either.

I sympathize with the frustration! It's debilitating to know that there is a better way to program something yet you can't use it because it hasn't been implemented yet. I mitigate the pain by spending some time every week working on my own ideas of how computers / programming should work. Some of these ideas are very similar (at first glance) to subtext / chorus. I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking like that.
Right. People forget that there is no such thing as a truly "free" market. Literally everything we consider a "market" has regulations, from contract enforcement to currency standardization to abolishing violence and theft as market forces.

Possibly, though not guaranteed - we have radioactivity detectors, but not many people carry them with them and use them on everything around. We'd still need to somehow communicate that this place needs detecting - and if people there would not be using nuclear energy for some reason, they might not even think about needing to check that place for radioactivity, at least not until there is some serious trouble.

Weaving Together Flash for Nearly Unlimited Scale
Giving men power of their own birth control does not lessen the power women have, except in the case of coerced trust (i.e., "trust that I have birth control since it's now possible, even though I really don't"), or in the case of wanting the power to deny contraception, which I think many would agree seems unethical, given the legal responsibilities men have to their offspring.

Absent mandatory standards, that's going to vary with the manufacturer. Volvo says they have redundant computers, sensors, and actuators. They've probably tested fall-over to backup. Google has some sensor redundancy, but it's not clear how well they protect against component failure.

If I were designing this, I'd have three independent control systems. System A does regular automatic driving. System B monitors system A, but it's only as smart as a stock anti-collision system braking system is now. No AI. It has info from the radar and can slam on the brakes. Maybe steer a bit to get to the side of the road and stop. System C is purely a watchdog - if it detects that systems A and B have failed, it cuts propulsion and applies the brakes. If system C takes over, you may hit something, but won't run away out of control.

I'd ride in a Volvo or Google self-driving car. Uber, Otto, or Cruise, no.
Hmm, ok that's a good point.
This is a good time to mention that while the bathroom part of HB2 and RFRA are both flawed, I do dislike employment anti-discrimination laws. I suggest a compromise of limiting it to things like manual labor if needed.
Depends. Since the developer can use low-level functions and provide type declarations, a compiler can generate usefully fast code without too much work. More advanced compilers need less declarations, since they do some amount of type inference. One of the costs: the compiler then usually is quite a bit slower.
It's more complex than that. I've been utterly bored by most of the jobs I had simply because while it mattered to someone else (as proven by me getting paid for doing it), I couldn't see how it was useful to anybody besides lining the pockets of my boss and their customer.

Maybe I'm weird, but I want to be able to point at my work and say that it helped someone to make the world a little bit better, and not just to earn someone more cash.
Thanks for the response. Sorry no alternative, but a generic database proxy in golang would be a great weekend hack I might try sometime.
Two problems:

1. There are plenty of places to publish junk science. This is all somewhere like Cato needs to keep arguing that climate change isn't real and that is enough to convince half of the lawmakers. Even if the science is bad, it can easily influence policy.

2. You can make this argument until the end of time. When have we done "enough" research on alternative hypotheses? Never, of course. We can keep on demanding more research and put off emissions regulations indefinitely.

By "too", obviously you mean "equally as unethical as the telco illegally preventing you from disconnecting service to gouge you for money they wouldn't otherwise be able to get from you"?

I was merely suggesting a solution to a problem. The question of who is more (un)ethical, the customer or the telco is for someone else to argue.

Given that I've worked on the inside of two major U.S. telcos, and seen the lengths they've gone to to rip customers off, I have zero problem discussing any and all loopholes to their fraudulent behaviour. They're as unethical as they come.

This is half-remembered from an article a while back. It didn't have any details about the "oil" so it might be gearbox oil.
Agreed. Honestly from a feature implementation perspective there's more business logic required to take this approach and I don't think it would behoove any programmer to come up with these restrictions.

If I had to hazard a guess the arbitrary nature of these rules sound like they come from someone in the legal department and was established as part of contract negotiations for the price of the content.

Ah nice, that's pretty cool to be fair. Respect it when people do it manual first and then switch it over to automated later, if manual is quicker then by all means do things that don't scale :)
Very interesting post. I will say that's really weird that a bunch of men want to marry you and then turn you into a full-time housewife. Personally, as a divorced man (where the marriage ended largely because of finances) one of the biggest things I've been looking for with dating prospects is someone who's professional and has their own paycheck roughly equivalent of mine, so I don't have to take care of someone again. (I also seem to be a little beyond the age of having kids, as I'm just over 40.) The last thing I want is a housewife, and all the economic uncertainty that comes with having only a single earner in the household.

I do think the stuff about why women leave the workforce is important, but I think it should also be investigated on the male side too for comparison and contrast. Do women actually want to leave the industry more than men? Perhaps it's similar, but they're just more successful at it. Speaking personally, I frequently wish I could leave the industry. I like technology, but honestly I hate the industry. I really hate the open-plan work spaces more than anything, and they've become the norm everywhere. I also don't appreciate having so little of my work mean anything, and spending all my time on projects that end up in the trashcan. I'm tired of coworkers who never comment their code, and the lousy quality of code in general. I'm tired of horrible IT systems and policies. Finding a job that doesn't have these problems is possible, but not even remotely easy. And the jobs are usually located in terrible places too. I frequently wish I had gone into some kind of medical field, where there's more job stability, the pay's decent, there isn't pressure to work 60-80 hours/week, and you can work just about anywhere you want.
Eat a balanced diet, exercise is important and the brain has a very hard time resisting or stopping eating when fat and sugar are combined, 50/50 ratio being the most effective combination. So better eat sugar and fat separated.

Epigram X.63

Phoebus, all faggots ask you home to dine—
Who feeds on dick is dirty, I opine.

Translation by Joseph S. Salemi
(first published in TRINACRIA)
It’s one of many cautionary tales about assessing dietary data. Everyone wants to be healthy, and most of us like eating, so we’re easily swayed by any new finding, no matter how dubious.

That's why I ignore the headlines and read the paper of any study that I'm interested in.
No

There are essential fatty acids, there are essential amino acids (protein), but there are no essential carbohydrates.

The "need" for sugar is completely manufactured, literally and figuratively.
They don't have to be that near Earth. Just nearer than the outer planets, the asteroid belt, probably Mars, etc.

Besides, if it's strategically placed, it could easily threaten Earth with kinetic projectiles if Earth's political systems attempt to take control of it. Military units inside a deep gravity well have an enormous disadvantage to those outside the gravity well.
I don't deny that, but the majority of women are not so manipulative. The GP's blanket claim "the argument that women would do more for male birth control is somewhat strange" would assume that the majority of women are so immoral. They most certainly are not.

I sat on your response for a while but it just occurred to me, as I responded to the other commenter, I'm perfectly fine with the price points of chinese knockoffs on ebay, alibaba, ali-express, etc.

But they put on too much fancy bells and whistles. Removing them doesn't cost them a dime (probably will save them on the cost per keyboard).
Would you ask the same question if the "slender majority" was in your favour? If the referendum yielded a remain vote, would you accept people saying "hang on this margin was really slim, why are we accepting this and why aren't we opposing remaining?"

The fact of the matter is this - a referendum was held with the pre-agreed rule that what the majority decided would happen, and the majority of voters voted to leave the EU. So thats what needs to be done, regardless of how "slender" the margin was. All of this talk of "opposition" to Brexit just shows how many people really don't get why the vote happened as it did.
Then I will. Hi friends in the Netherlands!
I agree that facts are good the problem is when facts are revealed very asymmetrically. Let's pretend you have two candidates, one where you really only know about him from his voting record and public statements and the other where you know everything that they and their associates have ever done. My guess is that the fist candidate will be more likely to win. I think that if that asymmetry is too prevalent it gives an unfair advantage to one side and in my view that weakens the democracy.
> I refuse to do leftovers (this is not negotiable).

Do you see a difference between eating leftovers and preparing a future meal? For example, I may cook extra chicken for dinner, chop up the extra pieces and put them in a salad for the next day's lunch.
How common are VM escapes anyway?
This is a great piece of writing. I will seek to emulate.
> grey haired workforce

there was talk in this thread about how the engineers that designed the systems in use are the ones servicing them and have been for 20-30 years or so.
What do you mean leftovers are not negotioable? Are you saying you never cook because you don't want to eat the food the next day? Or are you saying you never take food you don't finish at restaurants to go?

Not the most healthful path you're on :/
Do you have any suggestions for what to use for a regulator eg. lm2940 - that needs something like 22uF, low ESR on the output pin for stability? MLCCs are expensive and not very available in this capacitance range.
> The fact is Scotland, NI and Wales largely wanted to remain whilst England drags the rest along with.

Scotland and NI wanted to stay by large margins, England and Wales to leave by much smaller margins. Were a majority of the four required to pass the referendum, it would have failed on a 2-2 tie.
Why not categorical quantum mechanics?
None of the above.

I think that it's a deadly combination of both. We tend to consume way to much sugar, and usually sugar without the associated natural fiber. The fats typically consumed are cheap, low quality fats and oils.

Following a paleo-keto diet has been working wonders for me, I never felt or looked better in my 30+ years. So I think fats, when they are high quality, are the best source of fuel for the body.
Both are violating ones decency. On different levels of course. In both examples decency is traded for money.

I would argue that violation of the online privacy is worse than whipping. No, the problem is not that somebody knows what specific content you are watching. The problem is that they find out you are poor.

Youtube once considered that I could be a stereotypic poor person living in the US. The result was ugly.
Finally, I have something worth watching with my soda can.
Global emissions are up, despite efficiency improvements. The proper level to look at the system is the whole earth. Those reports look at local instances.

Don't get me wrong. I think efficiency is good. I'm just not sure it actually can reduce emissions globally.
As we are all guessing what might be: How about - Brexit as a stunning own-goal. The english can take their ball but the game will go on. Germany now the biggest contributer to the EU have unprecedented leverage in a lopsided eurocentric parliament over the other states including France (beneficiary) to forge a new closer, more centralised Europe solving many of the issues of the old. They must be rubbing their hands with glee. They folded! They walked away! New treaties are signed. There is no deal with Britain and no compromise. The time expired and they come back empty handed, a hard Brexit on the terms of the old treaties. No more pesky englanders to thwart every move to a superstate with a market of 650+ million people. When Europe speaks old allies of Britannia will heed and shrug their shoulders at their erstwhile master. Power and influence will drain as Britain becomes a poundshop, surrounded by EU states, international flights flying overhead. Shannon will become the US-Europe air hub Heathrow's new runways now unused car lots. Money will flow outwards from the City to Berlin the centre of the new Europe. The best minds will simply follow the money and leave the doomed vessel. Europe will use their sheer weight against the rump state at every turn until one day cap in hand it will return, new capital - Edinburgh... or it might work out great.

When I started doing intermittent fasting I also started eating lots of walnuts, and I can say my craving for sugar went way, way down. I haven't had sugar once since I started IF (> 30 days).
Fats are also a primary component in hormone synthesis. It's very important to get enough - they're just also 9 cal/g, compared to 4 cal/g for protein/carbohydrate, so they can be easy to overconsume if you're trying to manage your caloric intake.
Scala.js has been stable for quite some time (0.6 is effectively 1.0 but author has been holding off on giving the 1.0 blessing). Ecosystem is indeed tiny compared to vanilla JS, but aside from Typescript what alt-js project's ecosystem isn't miniscule?

The value proposition of Scala.js, GHCJS, Bucklescript, etc. are static types, 2-way interop, and all the features of the host language representable in javascript (which is incredible).

Lichess' approach works quite well, I have no issue with jQuery on the client while doing the heavy lifting on the server; not everything needs to be a 20MB SPA.
After years reading about what is right or not for me. I just gave up and began eating what felt good to me.

After awhile, I begin to notice that my body's constantly telling me what feels good or not. Sometimes good health is nothing more than a bit of awareness and experimentation.
That's not entirely true... I'm not saying it's even CLOSE to as easy or as cheap as collecting sperm, but woman are able to have their eggs collected and frozen for future use.
I'm new to AI/ML, so it would be interesting to see the source code used for this.
Excellent point. In the US you likely only have a small number of ISPs you can choose from, but there are huge number of VPN/PaaS/HaaS providers out there that you can route your traffic through. Surely some will compete on privacy.
The big problem with that unbundling scheme is that it made DSL less profitable than cable internet,which didn't have to be unbundled (because they aren't ILECs).

This is why in the USA the cable companies are the big ISP leaders and the telecoms are second fiddle.

Verizon only built Fios when they got clearance that they wouldn't have to share it.

The unbundling is a great way to make sure that legacy systems are fairly priced. It's a bad way build new systems.
People taking a dump in unofficial locations seems to have been a problem.
With the linked implementation (there is at least 1 fork rewriting the matlab bits in python) the three steps needed per image amount to probably over an hour on one k80. However, you probably need the -backend cudnn and -cudnn_autotune flags not to run out of memory. Downscaling the images from currently 700 to say 500 significantly speeds up the process as well. Still, it definitely takes longer than neural style.
> This is impressive, and I'm usually not a fan of unions

Germany has an unusual knack for making normally inefficient things efficient. You are probably used to unions in America which are often extremely inefficient, to the detriment of the company/government department.
