Yes, indeed. We need to assume "soul" resides in the cloud. What we don't know is the soul ID - a very secret API exists only a few soul-hackers were able to find but soon demons causing madness were unleashed on them after each intrusion was detected. So only a few chosen services know IDs, allowing them a direct access to souls in the Great Hash Map of Souls, hence why knowing a name means having a power over a soul. Of course, soul ID is innately incorporated in each individual brain itself, but encryption is too strong even for bad services to break into, unless soul allows voluntarily to be possessed by calling a secret black magic APIs. The rest of services need to perform long and tiring searches in the Great Array of Souls (GAS) and match with secondary characteristics of the soul like virtues and vices, instead of ID.

Of course, we found a novel meta-parallel way to access souls in the GAS reducing the search complexity to O(Sqrt(n)), hence we make a lot of money exposing this API externally for a fee.

I did the same, but never got the same feeling as the first time I took Modafinil. First time was great. Second time was good. By the fourth of fifth time it was only okay.

Do you have the same experience each time?
Yeah, it's so over the top that it reads like a native English speaker's intentional obfuscation.
Mentioned elsewhere, but it was stated that SWIR was likely not setup correctly. Many of the examples I've seen online since were not "low light", but "partially obscured" (aka smoke), so it might not be targeted for extreme low light settings (not looked to see, so I very likely could be wrong).

P.S. on a clean install we noted a slightly different install routine.

> Guys, get that blood pressure checked regularly, and if it's high, do something about it.

heart diseases are silent killers. i had high blood pressure (my whole family has it + weight problems) for a long time and never realized.

after going to the doctor, getting diagnosed and treating it, my life is a lot better. go to a cardiologist and get checked even if you think you are 100%!
In the article pointed out by Snowden:
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/us/shadow-brokers-leak-ra...
they state that the stolen code is from 2013 and Snowden was quoted in Wikipedia saying "circumstantial evidence and conventional wisdom indicates Russian responsibility".

To me it seems impossible that non-state-sponsored hackers would have gotten their hands into top secret NSA hacking tools. If I'd have guess it would seem that TheShadowBrokers are "useful idiots" that Russia gives information in the way they did (probably) with Wikileaks. The real question is why would anyone leak these files at this very moment? Did it take this long to get angry at Trump or are there some others factors at play?
The problem with arguments like yours is that you argue like bikes don't exist. Yet in the real world they do. And people even use them to get to places!
There is clearly more to the story than just free parking. My guess is those town centers have a larger variety of stores and possibly better prices.
Yes. People might balk at your Vox link, but I'd advise anyone to look into it themselves. There's little good research about flossing: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/9611

My personal belief is that flossing does something since you can clearly see food bits or whatever on used floss, but that's different from believing those food bits wouldn't be removed by normal brushing anyway or that they even cause harm.
Unrelated to your jhbuild issues, you can often solve this class of issue in git by teaching git itself to search-replace the URL with "url.<base>.insteadOf". See the git-config manpage.
Cool. Arch's gnome-unstable repo ships git master builds for GNOME 3.24. I'm gonna go set it up now.
React-native is different from electron apps, though. I don't think they need chromium, just the Javascript portion of it.

XAML is an abandoned platform. I've been with WPF for maybe 8 years. Haven't enjoyed coding like i do now. If you have ever worked with React, it will change you. It is something else to be able to make a UI with ease, to be absolutely confident about state, and to tap into the biggest community on earth (npm) to import whatever you want. Also tooling, the ability to edit modules live while the rest of the application just stays put.
Even if they did this, the content is rather funny. Hilarious that such people possess so much power yet they lack an informed understanding of the world around them. That, or it is propaganda. I'm going to side with the latter.
How many XP do you need to be proficient with this pattern? Really hope it's not a grind-fest.
>I also found that knowing something pretty much equals to being able to explain it to someone.

That can't be right, because that would logically imply that there is literally nobody on Earth who knows functional programming -- including the writers of functional compilers -- since no one is able to easily explain it. (No, really, no one is.)

But this is clearly not true: clearly, people do know functional programming (after all, how could they write a compiler for it otherwise, how could people program in it otherwise), despite their inability to explain it.

Therefore, this proves that knowing something does not equal being able to explain it.

Note that I do not go as far as to say it's inexplicable - sometime, somewhere, someone will explain it clearly and in a way that resonates with people that have not programmed in a functional paradigm, so that anyone immediately "gets" all aspects of it. Like a meme, that explanation will reverberate through the Internet, academia, language design, like a wildfire that enlightens everyone who meets it.

But it has not happened. That does not mean "nobody knows functional programming." People know it, although they can't explain it.

EDIT - this was downvoted, but I stand by it. My assertion is pretty easily falsifiable, but note that no reply does so with a link. Of course, I have not reviewed the entirety of the Internet so it is possible that I missed one. But I notice that nobody seems to be showing one. This is a challenge to do so, if you disagree with my example.

> Consciousness really is unexplainable by what we know of the physical world, it's constancy is just odd.

Consciousness is just you adapting to the world. You need consciousness in order to live in the world, with all its complexity and dangers. The brain has nothing magical about it, it is made of the same kind of atoms as anything else. What is happening is just perception, judgement and action in a loop, each supported by neural networks. Every moment, a full perception-judgement-action loop plays itself. It generates a stream of experience and emotion (which is just the value or reward intuited in certain situations and actions). This internal stream of perceptions and judgements is consciousness.

Is there anything out there taking a better approach that works for native desktop? React Native and Flutter look like interesting solutions, but RN attempts to do all the hard work with JS, which is far from ideal; and Flutter is limited to Dart (which not that much better) and isn't getting any traction on desktop outside of the experimental Fuchsia.
Most people are unaware of their own implicit bias. Others who share the same implicit bias will also see no problem whatsoever. It is the people who get stepped on by it that notice it.

I think this is a big part of why discussions about things like sexism typically are shit shows. The people doing stupid stuff honestly do not see it and feel wrongfully accused. The people getting crapped on by it tend to feel "Are you fucking kidding me???!!!! This is painfully obvious!!!!"

And discussions get stuck right there.

Yes. Much.

I have some experience of trying to teach kids how to use a Pi, and even simple Python part can be a nightmare. SVG is a non-starter.

Also, don't underestimate the fact that the LEDs feel physical while a screen feels virtual. The journey from a single light to an array of lights to shapes shown on the array to shapes shown on a screen is intuitive and fairly obvious.

If you start kids on a screen, even with a turtle, they miss the basics.

(VIDEO)WTF Compilation APRIL 2017 Funny Fail WTF Compilation
The thing is, facts weigh more than opinions. So people have an incentive to peddle opinion as facts just to make it more credible. And by people I mean me. I caught myself doing this years ago and the worst part was it didn't change just because I realized I was doing it.

But on the other hand, trying to limit yourself to only talk about things you know for sure is impossible. It's often a journey from expressing an opinion (that you might believe is a fact) to being corrected by peers and reevaluating your model. As long as I have to energy to adjust my model when someone points out the shortcomings, I feel like I am doing okay.

(This is why I like HN, i feel like I am at the bottom of the barrel and I can learn from people who are much more knowledgeable than me. I'd rather be a fool among smart people than smart among fools.)

The JVM comes with an embedded Webkit browser (via the included JavaFX). This lets you code as much as you need/want in HTML/JS/CSS, but also gives you the option of easily interacting with Java, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, Ceylon, Frege, etc. I think this is more powerful than Electron/Chromium.
On average it affects all women equally because women are physically affected by the specifics of having babies. However, some men just choose to sacrifice their family life instead of lowering their pay rate one iota.

> My mom theorizes that lots of MSG was used to cover up the fact that, say, shrimp was a day past its prime, and that the sick feeling was due to the food but got blamed on the MSG. There’s never been a scientifically rigorous study that’s linked MSG with any negative effects.

Totally agree with this. MSG can really bring out flavor and doesn't deserve the bad reputation it has. I do think that a lot of American Chinese restaurant put way too much of the stuff to cover cheap bad tasting ingredients but used lightly when cooking good food, it's amazing.

Apart from that, I disagree with his notion that spices don't go bad. It depends on the weather, you can get fungi in humid weather and the oils can go rancid causing the flavor to not just be lessened but to also be bad. That said, in places with a temperate climate and without high levels of humidity a lot of the spices can last for years.
The thing badwolf brings to the table (and respect to the author -- super nice fellow) is adding metadata (namely, a timestamp) to the links.

The topic of 'reification' found throughout our recent discussion is how we can generally add metadata to links, thereby making it a lot easier to fit the two models together.

It's pretty fascinating to read the Shadow Broker's posts. They have to write something, since they can't just say "I work for Russia and we're reminding America that they're not invulnerable." So they have to come up with all sorts of contrived reasons about why they're doing this, complete with broken english to fool stylometry detection that walks the fine line between being believable and preposterous.

Anecdata of course but my dentist always seems to remove little food bits flossing during a checkup that weren't removed in brushing just before.

After the last checkup he recommended an automatic flossing machine (Waterpik).
Indeed. I applaud the effort, but the UI of macOS has many, many subtle details that at first glance don't have much value and end up getting discarded in imitations. Once those details are missing it becomes evident why they the original possessed them.

If you're going to imitate a native style, you've gotta go whole hog and nail it down to the last idiosyncrasy or it's going to be vaguely weird/awkward.
I don't know anything about the value of this crap, but I do find it interesting to grep through looking at the IPs (which I presume are compromised machines from which they are initiating attacks). See `./bin/pyside/targets.py`

The Original Hacker's Dictionary
I expect city dwellers to recognize that their aesthetic distaste for car infrastructure doesn't come close to the very real impact on someone's life of tripling all their travel times.

As long as we're humoring city dwellers being tired of things, we will never have housing construction (they've got ownership or rent control already, and they're tired of tall buildings). As long as we're humoring what they want to pay for, we'll never have decent transit (they can walk or bike, why should they pay taxes for your bus?).

There are reasonable positions to be in which don't require parking downtown. Cheap housing in the center. Cheap housing near train stations and a quick ride in. Abundant parking at train stations and a quick ride in. Decouple cities from employment so that they really are luxuries and not crucial access to opportunity. Keep job growth in balance with walkable housing growth and don't allow development of suburbs.

Any one of those is a great thing to strive for. Eliminating parking by itself just makes the city less livable.
For most of Azure, AWS stuff I use Ansible for automation and deploying my tools.

If I have something like wordpress, joomla or any other classic web application that can be easily run on cPanel, I don't bother with installing automation for them on AWS or any bare servers or even docker. Even though lately using docker, containers or stuff like that have become very popular.

Still tons of the stuff like database backup, monitoring, ssh access for each customer, htaccess configuration, php multi-version, etc are not easily done by those technology stacks, cPanel & CloudLinux cover them all.

If you want to play it cool, you can even run each web application on heroku.

If you're still considering to go out of cPanel stack, I suggest you something like Dokku, deis, Flynn, Docker Swarm, etc...

I don't have a blog by myself about this, but there are tons of resource about them how to go with each of them.

I mosltly play with Python, Go, Java, NodeJS and some others for web application, so CloudLinux or cPanel are not a fit for me. Therefore I get them done with PaaS as much as I can and tons of help from my Ansible playbooks to run customized machines on bare metal or AWS servers.

I started running the web hosting business as a one man show for a 3-5 months to get things running and now we have 2 people on it to manage cPanel/CloudLinux and OpenVZ servers.

Thanks for mentioning the monitoring stacks, I'v used some of them before but not extensively.
I mentioned "munin" because its available as a plugin for cPanel and sometimes configuring it can cause confusion.
