Since ships are much bigger polluters than cars, a better thing to do would be to buy local exclusively. Governments could impose huge tariffs on imported goods (something Trump would certainly not mind). While we're at it we should probably ban mass production, too, tear down our cities and replace them with farming communes wherein everything people consume or use is produced sustainably from the local environment.

We're past the point where we can fool ourselves that virtue signalling will make a difference. If you want to make an impact on the climate, Western society has to fundamentally change into something quite different. It's a political problem with necessarily political solutions.
I think the bigger problem with Cuil is they over-hyped their offering before launch which could lead to nothing but disappointment.
Value is subjective, and changes over time. They value your attention more than your productive capacity, sometimes.
>(or perhaps stealing and stabbing in the process seeing how he had little upper body strength but carried a dagger).

I have a lot of doubts about estimating upper body strength from his remainins. You can tell if he was a body builder (or not) yes, but you can have two people with similar muscle mass, but two to nervous system adaptations one might bench 50% more than the other (this is why when you start strength training strength gains out pace muscle gains). Also consider that body builders often complain they look flat of their hydration, sodium or glycogen is low and this guy has been in a dehydrator for thousands of years... TL:DR I'm skeptical of their ability ability to estimate his power generation from his remains.

> His clothing is made of multiple furs of multiple species yet he doesn't have a finished bow? I mean, it's possible he was an excellent trapper and caught all them animals OR did he take his possessions elsewhere?

Thats a pretty big stretch, maybe is last bow broke and he is finishing his new one?

"Ötzi’s longbow was only half a day’s work from completion, he added"

The facts themselves are pretty interesting, Ötzi, unhurried, was shot at prime long distance bow range (33 yards). Possibly while he was bending over, for from someone below him (slope side?).
>Individual rights are the cornerstone of modern western civilization, not the nuclear family.

Sure. Individual rights are the cornerstone of modernism. Western civilization predates the French Revolution.

At this point its borderline ridiculous that Apache hasn't turned Apache OpenOffice into a branded distribution of LibreOffice.
This rant [1] on the PSD format has to be my favourite:

// At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format.
// PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an
// insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having
// worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire
// that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns.
// If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different
// places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those
// too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide
// that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement
// should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned,
// or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included.
// Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD,
// of course, uses all three, and more.
// Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of
// your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th
// birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but
// at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people
// responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format.
// Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this,
// I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending
// me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or
// other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so
// difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I
// was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done
// so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire.
// Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch
// them on a spaceship directly into the sun.
//
// PSD is not my favourite file format.

Minister says encryption on messaging services is unacceptable
My Nest smoke alarm actually justified its value a couple of weeks ago: We were out in town when it let me know that there was CO in the house. We were able to rush back and turn off the leaking gas stove before things got out of hand.

I think the peace of mind that this now gives me is extremely valuable.
Have you ever tried looking up documentation from a field that you aren't familiar with? It's not trivial.

When I did some initial dabbling with microprocessor programming, reading the docs made absolutely no sense to me. (My field is desktop software) Most things are still a mystery to me. Most docs expect that you are familiar with the field, and in most cases you won't even find them if you aren't.
Most jobs are not in sales, so regardless of whether this is true, it only applies to a minority of positions. (Though I have no numbers, in my experience sales is the one area where there are lots of women in tech companies, as well as in some other industries like pharmaceuticals.)

I don't know that you can blame anything on "the fundamentally antagonistic world" since all businesses face a fundamentally antagonistic world and their goal is to overcome that.
i think you are a victim of a little wishful thinking here. with around a billion people getting into the middle class you are going to see one thing only and that is an increase in resource usage. the normal populations usage is not the problem but the industry that support their consumption.

you arent seeing humans change, you are seeing technology allowing for other types of living but any actual effect on climate they wont have.
I disagree that this is an avenue open only to the upper class [1]. Not everyone can do everything, sure (if you're working two jobs, for example, the climate can rightly go fuck itself) but a lot of people can do a lot more.

I also disagree that they are insignificant drops in the bucket. The point I'm trying to make is that "culture" is infuriatingly hand-wavy and difficult to quantify, but it matters. As an example, I live in Geneva. Here, all shops close at 7 PM. This means that there less commercial activity past those hours, fewer people mindlessly roaming around in malls etc. Now, surely there are regulations guiding this too, but any government official wanting to undo this because "muh freedom", will be laughed out of the room because there is a culture here that treats this as deeply important.

Registration per se is not harmful or restrictive - except that some (figuratively speaking) poor developer in Russia now has to deal with a four-page form in German which isn't even really suitable for software.

The problem is not the registration, the problem is that BNetzA considers software to be "telecommunication services" and thus subject to regulation. There are 152 paragraphs in the TKG (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/tkg_2004/index.html), how much would it cost a software vendor to comply with everything? Or how much would it cost even to find out what a software vendor would have to comply with? There was a pretty good reason Google went to court over the question whether GMail is a "telecommunication service" or not (https://www.noerr.com/de/newsroom/News/gmail-ist-ein-telekom...). Google lost, by the way.

From the other hand, the list of "providers" includes a lot of organisations like "Antennengemeinschaft Schreiersgrün e.V" - roughly translated as "Antenna community of the village Schreiersgrün (registered society)".

missing graphical interface is a defect.
An unikernal is a strange beast, sound crazy, but got some advantages: is simpler, could be understood completely by a human (and not only by a genius), there are no penality for system calls, and there is no cpu time wasted on context switch. Because the machine are getting cheaper is common to have only one user, so all these security became useless, so on the long run the unikernels will be mainstream. Kudos to him.

The nuclear family is a myth born in the mid-20th century and spread by television, so I can't accept that premise, although the attempt and failure of most families to emulate Leave it to Beaver and Donna Reed might be a source of some of the psychological problems plaguing modern western civilization.
none of that have any effect on climate change what so ever. you need to effect the industry to have any impact and thats not going to happen enough to have any effect.
There are plenty of companies providing hosted ElasticSearch these days, starting with Elastic.co, the corporate sponsors of the open-source project. Amazon hosted ES is also a lot better than it was just a few months ago; they were stuck on 1.5 for the longest time, but now they've already got support for 5.1.1.

Sea transport is about 3% of global CO2 emissions, while road transport is about 17%, so it is unlikely that "the 15 largest cargo ships pollute as much as all the cars in the world."
I had completely forgotten about the Time Machine icon animating before. Interesting. Odd choice perhaps because I imagine most people have the hard drive at their desk, when wall power is easily available. There is a setting that enables backing up on battery power but I think the default value is disabled.
Interesting polemic.

No arguments on government. Institutions which are intended to be "of the people" should look like it geographically. Federal facilities already are doled out around the country as political pork, but headquarters could be a little more distributed, in addition to back-offices. Even if it changes nothing about the nature of the institutions, it would likely increase trust in them. We could do with some of that. It would cause more taxpayer-funded air travel, which certainly won't be popular.

The whole country benefits immensely from the research done by the densely packed brilliant minds at elite universities, and from the middle-class kids who were educated in their undergraduate divisions thanks to financial aid from their endowments. Trying to tax away their ability to fund low and middle income students seems like the opposite of what you want. Trying to dilute them into being like all other commuter colleges fits the author's point about disbanding clustered elites, I guess.

I think there is immense value in having elite universities. We should be making sure they are elite in terms of intellectual capability and academic work ethic, rather than family wealth, by raising all K12 schools to the standards of the ones that feed Ivies.

As I understand it, in the German higher education system, some universities are the best in their field, but they are all state-sponsored and the admissions process is nationalized, with a merit component and a lottery component, and no special allowances for probable donors. Maybe we need that.
I think so, too. A week ago, the biggest approach in curating web content - dmoz - closed its doors.
What was a good idea in the 90s (title and short description) is obviously not sufficient in a modern web. And it's far from real time.

I try to build a curation platform with https://curlz.org - just at a planning stage at the moment, but did raise interest in some dmoz admins and editors.

That's nice, but we are in 2017. It may be better to support unicode. I mean I prefer to write things like:

∀α,β ∈ ℝ², √ϕ=αβ, ...

∃ a⃗ + b⃗ ≥ ...

What I think is needed are generic 2d composition diacritics for unicode, to have text above/below/to the upper left/UR/LL/LR angle -- I mean, some more generic version to write things like Ψ̂⁹⁻¹=Ψ⁸, ρ₁₂ with composition characters instead of the dedicated numbers, or letters.

I don't like LaTeX because I want WYSIWYG, which is what unicode is for. Even in the body of an email. Even in a reply on YN.
>If America explicitly gives up on even pretending to be good, what is the point of respecting America?

Putting your own needs first != bad. I greatly respect those who solve their own problems and have a sense of nationalism, rather than fleeing into other countries.
Ships release more sulphur oxides than cars, but vastly less CO2.
"What can I do to reduce my emissions" is the wrong question to ask, because most people don't care that much about reducing their impact. Even if everyone who cares could somehow cut out 100% of their emissions, it would only make a small dent in the problem. Trying to get everyone to make sacrifices and take personal responsibility is just not going to cut it.

But this doesn't mean the situation is hopeless! Renewables are quickly becoming cheaper than fossil fuels. Battery prices are falling rapidly, enabling cheaper electric cars, as well as cost-effective stationary storage facilities. There are startups that are trying to make plant-based meat substitutes that taste better than real meat and cost less. These are all scalable solutions; even someone who cares nothing for the planet would rather have lower energy costs, or a sexier car, or a cheaper, tastier burger. if we want long-term sustainability, we have to build and promote these kinds of alternatives.

If you want to make a difference, don't worry about what your immediate, personal impact to the environment is: one person's impact is negligible. Worry about what sorts of technological development you're funding.

Or worry about what sort of politicians you're supporting. If all the people who bought a Prius in the last ten years had bought a cheaper non-hybrid, and instead spent that extra money lobbying for better emissions standards, I bet you that would have made a way bigger difference in the end.
While I agree society needs to change, this vision of how it should change -- fewer globalized goods, no mass production, and so on -- well if that's my only option I'll take the climate change thanks. It's going to be dangerous for people, but so is what you suggest, seeing as how modern people owe a lot of their health and life enjoyment to the things you'd ban.
Hmm. I know that propaganda and originality don't go well together, but strangely I've always felt that Chinese cinema got it right. I may be biased as I come from an Asian family. For sure they're different from Western cinema, most notably it's usually less cynical and multifaceted, and more linear and nationalistic. But there's such an adventurous spirit (those martial arts sequences help!) that I can look past all that. Perhaps because I'm Asian too, those anti-colonial sentiments are also more easily related.

But I don't know, maybe their creative machine really is running out of steam. I haven't really watch much recently (currently on a Scandi kick!) But I do recommend you to explore the classics like Once Upon a Time in China and Infernal Affairs.
When scientists chase dollars it's double-ugly.
What's more, you can use a package like \usepackage{physics} which includes several convenience macros like \qty( [...] ) as a shorthand to \left( [...] \right). To go yet another step further, define something like \newcommand{\p}{\qty} to shorten the notation to simply dropping a \p before your delimiters to autosize them.
I had something like that in my vimrc for some time (snippet posted here: https://vimrcfu.com/snippet/222), using omni-completion when set in the buffer and keyword completion otherwise.

It's the 'Hey nineteen' phenomena.

At almost 50 the desire to spend 8 hours a day with 20-30 year olds, encouraging enthusiasms, persevering in mentoring and then learning/acceptance of new ideas/tools, being persuasive about experiences in project scope/direction and contributing as part of a growing creative team effort is exhausting.

Not to mention the older you get in this industry you see a lot of reinvention/progress the 'wrong way' (or blatant ripoffs done for profit) which you just become opinionated about.
Thanks for the tips about Django with Crossbar. It doesn't sound entirely smooth sailing ;) Be that as it may, we got some IoT things starting and it might fit the bill.

I'd certainly back such a kickstarter ;) I took a look at asyncio just a few days ago and got dizzy fast. As you said, async is hard. I just wish it could be more explicit without having all that boilerplate.

These days doing much more functional programming I'm thinking that configuration should be data instead of global state we got now.

I think that Django is still great and keeps getting better. I'm not about to replace it. I just hope it wasn't so hard to use functionality and data in Django projects by less conventional means (such as when async ops, long running processing or keeping track of changes is required).

That wasn't what I got out of the previous post, it seemed to be saying there was something inherently unsafe about compiling down to a dynamic language.
Religious interpretation or exegesis in Islam dates back to the dawn of the religion. It is complex and relies on carefully reasoned precedent.

It's interesting that casual critics of Islam and Muslim extremists (mostly influenced by Wahhabist Saudi thought) take the same amateurish approach to interpreting scripture, by de-contextualising random passages, throwing away exegesis and going for "aha!" moments to justify their positions.
Remember wikia search?
The best tool I've found for that is grapher.app which is still shipped with Macs. It has an interactive editor and the option to copy out latex.
I knew it was not intended as serious before point 1. The technical stuff /code was so general and lacking specifics that it was very clear.
You linked to an article where half the "arguments" made are either valid but are disjoint with the mainstream schools of Islam (in face, that they all live in the West is a good hint that they would probably be considered apostates elsewhere - I counted one Ahmadi). Anecdotally, none of them either published or studied at Al-Azhar.

The other half are just threats.

So, really, I'm quite disappointed because I am looking for someone to contradict me.

>Quite a few intelligent people disagree with you.

Okay
The article does not say why we should break up the liberal city. It just kind of rambles.

It seems to want to lead to some sort of sprawling country where everyone has an equal portion of land and money, and incentivize "spreading out" jobs and taxes rather than concentrating them. So centers for investment, learning, and business building would lose money by taxation, then spread out geographically and lose people, and eventually nobody would want to do business in this country, or live here in the interest of the arts or academia, and people would leave in droves to foreign nations where there are still big cities where people can draw together their varied interests into a (somewhat) multicultural metropolis.
I agree, while there certainly are tasks that can be similar to building a tower of cards, most programmers who have a no interruptions attitude come across as arrogant. This creates schisms for new developers and non-developers.

Seeds of truth often grow cargo cults of self importance around them.

You could solve the averaging problem by applying the L1/L2 trained net to exponential color gradients rather than linear ones. By doing so you are telling the NN that humans care about exponential changes in color because that's how our eyes work. E.g. we notice if you double the amount of green but probably not if you just increment it.

I think there are rather simple solutions to these types of problems. But sometimes everything looks like a nail.
I'm sorry I don't understand, the results seem to be about people having difficulty installing GHC, not deploying a binary. I can say anecdotally I've never had any problems.

edit: Ah ok, apparently libgmp is dynamically linked in binaries, but you can pass a flag to GHC to statically link all runtime dependencies. Is that what you were talking about?
