"Rule by law" is the use of law to control the people. You use laws as convenient to punish your enemies, but aren't particularly interested in enforcing laws fairly. It becomes more of the default whenever there is no independent judiciary to interpret the law, or an independent media to make sure the government stays honest.

"Rule of law" is the aspiration that we are used to in the west (fair application of the law, everyone is subject to the law, etc...). It isn't perfect, we often exist in between the two extremes, but our systems are set up to at least aspire to it, while the Chinese system self admittedly depends solely on the wisdom and benevolence of a singular ruling class (in this case, the top-down CPC).

Hennessy and Patterson, Computer Organization and Design and definitely NOT Computer Architecture. CA is a great book and I'm partial to the 4th edition but CA is not for you. COAD is for you.

There is an ARM edition of COAD but there isn't an edition for x86. If you could wait for the next edition of the ARM book, it would be good since the 1st was evidently rushed. Read chapters 1, 5 and 6 but spend a lot of time on chapter 5, Large and Fast: Exploiting Memory Hierarchy.

The Fields medal, the Nobel price for Mathematicians, exists already since decades and is only for people younger than 35. One point might be also that when you learn more and more, you can do more things. I think in the past there seemed to be the thinking that learning too long would be counterproductive. That's still reflected by the fact that managers earn more on average than engineers.
Ironically, I just cleared out my chrome bookmarks today. Found it far too difficult trying to find the correct folder hidden in a long list of old/dead folders/links. After I purged, I stumbled upon the chrome bookmarks manager browser extension that makes the process of adding a bookmark much easier as you can type to search (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-manager/g...)

7 things you should know about Vue.js
"No license or permit is required to openly carry a loaded firearm in unincorporated areas where discharge is not prohibited by local ordinance."

...Maybe every county has adopted local ordinances prohibiting open carry in unincorporated areas?

"Prior to January 1, 2012, it was legal to openly carry an unloaded handgun in public. In October 2011, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that modifies the law on openly carrying an unloaded firearm to match the restrictions for openly carrying a loaded weapon.[63] Legislation was later signed by Governor Brown to expand these restrictions to long guns and shotguns, except while hunting."

This seems to be making the law for unloaded carry the same for loaded carry, and doesn't address the legality of loaded carry.
> It's not the same as making a "fake steve jobs" twitter account where everybody knows you're not really steve jobs

First, let's dispel the absurdity that "ICE official with a critical Twitter account" == "impersonate a law enforcement officer/agency".

There's no impersonation. Everybody knows that @ALT_* is not an official channel. The entire account namespace was created specifically as a protest mechanism.

Government's claims regarding IMPERSONATION are baseless as a pure and simple matter of fact.

> They actually claim to be subversive workers within the agency.

Could the federal government have cause to fire these employees for their political speech? Perhaps.

Should we, the people, grant the government have right to infringe upon private company's property rights in order to settle petty shop politics? NO.

Government can be as petty an employer as it wants. But this ISN'T impersonation, and we SHOULDN'T sacrifice OUR liberties and property rights for the sake of fucking petty shop politics.

If law enforcement wants to track down and fire people who disagree with the chief executive, they're free to waste my tax dollars doing so. But unless they can show substantive evidence of ACTUAL impersonation, they can conduct their witch hunt without barging into our homes and offices.
This makes the rounds every once in awhile, and yet I still end up reading it every time. It's a little spooky. Does anyone know of other, similar "just in case" speeches?
I use bookmarks, I just don't keep them in the browser anymore. I have individual ones scattered throughout my filesystem tree by topic or function, mixed in with documents and whatever other files. Much better having just one hierarchy to search through for stuff.

Wait until she hits puberty. The monkeys probably saw her as a child. Once her pheromones started saying otherwise things would have become violent very quickly.

Feed two billion people with TerrAvion (YC W14)
All current browsers support ES6.

That's debatable, particularly when you factor in bugs. However, even if they did, it seems unwise to assume that all relevant users for all or even most projects will be on the latest evergreen browsers. Several large groups, including business users on IE and mobile users on slightly older devices, probably won't be.

I know there's a certain type of web developer who would love for everyone to have updated their browser within the last five minutes so all the new toys are available universally, but that has never been the nature of web development. Deliberately breaking major infrastructure is just going to make JS development even more screwed up than it already is.

It's not enough to do crazy quantum stuff in the camera, the light source would have to be similarly manipulated in a quantum way as well.

My understanding is that the human eye has a surprisingly high quantum efficiency (about 12 to 30 % of photons are detected), and that the reason night looks dark is because there really aren't that many visible spectrum photons around.

My guess is that this camera is physically enormous.

Edit: Apparently, it's really small! I am dumbfounded. Then again, I guess it could have a hundred times the area of a human pupil and still be pretty small.

Regardless of the site, do you usually logout or do you just close the browser?

I ask because today in my settings on Linkedin I found that I had over 50 open sessions! And then the same thing on my Pinterest! Does it matter?
Of course, and I'm surprised many people don't. Chrome handles bookmarks well, automatically syncing them between different machines you are signed in on. I used to have them nicely organized into different folders but now it's a bit of a mess... It's especially useful to deal with tab explosion. Control+D and you can just save all your tabs in a single folder (and never look at them again.)

The biggest problem is linkrot. As a rough estimate 13% of links die every year, and it's quite possibly much higher than that. (https://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs) Without the glorious web archive, bookmarks would be unusuable. And I wonder how many people know about web archive.. Youtube-dl may also be useful if you want to preserve music or videos (despite the name, it works on almost every site I've tried it on including audio sites.) Someday I intend to script something up to automatically scrape all my bookmarks and make a local copy, but it seems complex.
Are you sure companies know how much other similar companies are paying?
With that knowledge, we can do a back of the envelope calculation for what kind of lens it would take to make your camera take a video at 10 frames per second that looked the same as its 60 second exposures.

Basically we need 600 times more light. Square root of 600 is about 25. So you'd need a lens system with an initial aperture 25 times larger in diameter than the one you used to do the long exposures.

Big lens, but if you want to brute force this kind of problem, that's the way to do it!
Absolutely. I trust Firefox Sync more than third-party services. I have a fairly comprehensive hierarchical structure. I only bookmark things I really care about, but even still have hundreds of bookmarks in tens of folders. It's useful because it makes these sites show up immediately in the address bar as I start typing. API done for example. I just start typing the library/API name and the address bar autocompletes the part to the doc index b/c that's what I've bookmarked. One step shorter than bouncing through Google.

I also bookmark articles that I think I'll reference in the future, that supports or contradicts something I believe strongly.

Jesus. It sounds like they'd tell the wives their husbands are going to die, and then pull the plug; why not let the men say their goodbyes themselves, and (at least) give them the dignity to end the communications of their own volition?

They'd probably survive for hours, if not days, wouldn't they?!

I think this is just a trope that JS devs and newbies have launched on to, and that it's without merit.

Classes are good. Classes express concrete taxonomies of concrete things in ways that most developers can understand.

I think we should be happy that JS is flexible enough that adding "class" to the language is almost purely syntactical: it clarifies and makes semantic a bunch of otherwise boilerplate "Foo.prototype.blah" code that you see in so many non-trivial JS apps.

Classes simplify things IMO.

That's nonsense. Just like innocent people with integrity who plead the Fifth. The recruiter will think you're hiding something and you'll be bumped down the list. The analogy of the Fifth is quite appropriate, as the US court system has had bias against defendants who might/do invoke that right. It was only in the previous decade that the Supreme Court made a definitive ruling (in a liberal interpretation of the Fifth) about the subject.

The only integrity involved is the integrity I have toward myself and my goals. The goals of the company are ancillary.

Declaratory judgement are only for cases where the mere possibility of an adverse decision is materially impacting you. For example investors being nervous. Its not intended to be a way to make a point.
Interesting concept! I'm enjoying playing with it. Reminds me of a Pepsi-challenge page Microsoft set up comparing Google and Bing search results when they were launching. I went into that one expecting to be able to tell the difference, and I was right. Similar feeling here.

As others have pointed out, the internal similarities of the specific translations mean it doesn't take long for a user to be able to make calls based on style rather than content. Maybe randomizing translation as well as passage would help remove that loophole?

The UI could use some love - "input" components should be separate from "output" components. As it's designed now, I can't simply memorize blue/left means "pick Bible" and green/right means "pick Qur'an", because I have to remember that for every other click, blue/left means "get the next question" and green/right isn't a button right now; it displays my result.

Atm this feels like those implicit social cognition tests from Harvard (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html) Round 1, a pic will pop up, as fast as possible without making errors, press left arrow if it's a happy face or right arrow if it's a sad face. Round 2, keys reversed. Round 3, left for light skinned person and right for dark skinned person; Round 4, reversed. Round 5, left for a happy or light face, right for a sad or dark face. Etc. Every time the rules change, your responses slow down for a while because you have to actually process things instead of acting on instinct.

I don't want to have to think about whether the button I'm about to click will perform a "Bible" or a "Continue" action, nor do I want to look for whether or not my answer was correct in the area of the page I've mentally allocated as "Qur'an".

UI wishlist:

- Neither choice should be colored green or red; those colors have semantics attached to them. (I'd probably make them both blue, but making them different colors from each other is probably fine too)

- Ability to use the keyboard arrow keys to make a choice, for the sake of speed

- If the choice is wrong something big and red should appear (but somewhere that's NOT one of the buttons or where the passage is displayed)

- If the choice is right, something big and green could appear (but doesn't really need to - season to taste)

- No continue button at all; when will a user of this page ever not want to continue getting passages? A continue button only really matters if there's something to lose, like (for instance) using up limited time or scoring low points by getting a passage before you're ready to start
