Today I tried using an app to clean up other apps (I know, stupid me). The app in question cleared 1/5 of my selected junk then told me I can pay to clean the rest. This was after it sold itself as free, and I may add very loudly so. It's a sad trend that I don't think is going anywhere - because $.
By thinking about the problem and not writing a single line of code until you have the algorithm ready. When you start to write code, you end up thinking about the solution of the problem in some sort of piece wise solution (AKA first do this then that and so on) which inhibits you from thinking about the problem holistically and hence you end up with lots of complex conditionals and control flow structures.
There are also amusing choose your adventure type books where your goal is not thrilling action, but romance. For example, "Night of a Thousand Boyfriends" [1] from the "Date with Destiny Adventure" series.

Sometimes romance and adventure are combined, such as in "Escape from Fire Island!" [2], also from the "Date with Destiny" series.

Maybe not the best for young readers, though, as it is not aimed at younger readers:

It was supposed to be a nice, relaxing
weekend—with a little swimming, a lot of
cocktails, and more hot bods than a year’s

strange things start happening—and now an army of
zombie drag queens is storming the coast! Can you
save Fire Island before it’s too late? Or will you
perish at the hands of a thousand shrieking divas?
It all depends on the choices YOU make.

There are adventure/romance choose your path type books that are aimed at kids, though. I've got a couple from the '80s that combined a typical fairy tale type fantasy quest (slay the dragon, defeat the evil wizard, yadda yadda) and a search for a suitable boyfriend for your character who was typically a princess.

In regards to the DFG funding it says that foreigners are allowed "provided they have been resident in Germany for several years and have completed at least three years of scientific work as a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher in the German research system".

And from my understanding that is what replacement 457 will ensure.

"A DECRA Recipient may be awarded ARC funding of up to $139,369 per year of funding. The per annum salary contribution from the ARC is fixed at $99,369 (2016$), including 30 per cent on-costs, and up to a maximum of $40,000 project costs." - From ARC funding rules for DECRA.

So basically, close to $100K per annum goes to you (pre-tax) for 3 years and $30K to the university per annum. For project costs it depends on how you spend them.

The AKP is an Islamic party and we've been discussing it's threat to secularism and democracy in Turkey vigorously for many years. The supposed (self-)censorship of which you speak doesn't exist.

For the record, elections are coming up in Indonesia, the largest muslim country. And yes conservative Islam and Islamism are a threat to democracy in many democratic Muslim countries. Which is why it is opposed by moderate democratic muslims (like the 49% that voted no in Turkey).

What exactly was the spin? The administration is literally killing the site open.gov, I don't see any bias with stating it exactly as it is:

"White House officials said the Administration is ending the contract for Open.gov, the Obama-era site that hosted the visitor records along with staff financial disclosures, salaries, and appointments."

As to your extra claim that visitor logs will be submitted to the national archive, do you have some reference to back that up? Regardless there are a number of ways that could make access more difficult. For example, you have to physically go to the national archive to look the records up, national archive of the logs aren't made available until much later after the visits occurred, etc. I'm really not familiar enough with it to know the implications, but I highly doubt multiple organizations would be suing over this if it wasn't an important difference:

> "People who control those companies are solely executives or wall street share holders, not the people who spend countless hours making the company run and function"

You imply that you think workers should all own equity in their employer. That sounds cruel and arbitrary to me. How is it OK to dock Barista Bob's pay because a national ad campaign went badly?

In my companies, your compensation is tied to your responsibilities. Executives are responsible to make sure the whole company succeeds, so their compensation is partially in equity. If the company does well or poorly, their pay is raised or docked automatically. People whose responsibility is limited to their immediate job are paid based on their time, at a rate that (ideally) tracks how good they are at their job... regardless of how well the company is doing. The idea that I should punish a stagehand for problems totally out of her ability to control, or even visibility... or that I should reward an executive for working extra hours, when that's a normal part of her job... well that sounds like a terrible way to treat the people who make things run. Who would want to work in that kind of environment? Ugh.

Speaking as a several-times-over founder and C-level... you should try starting a company sometime, even as a short term project. I think you'd gain some new definitions for "countless hours" and "making the company run and function."

But the wall street guys - those people are leeches. All they provide is the money to run the company. Why should they get a say in how it's used?
Seeing as there is a huge residential real estate shortage in most major/desirable cities, maybe they can be converted to apartment buildings...Kinda like many old factories got converted to lofts.
3 Exercises That Will Make You Lose Belly Fat in 2 Weeks
That's simply not true. The EU has over time handed more and more power away from the council and commission and to the parliament. There is a demonstrated will to hand more power to parliament at the cost of the council and commission and any treaty changes to do so (accompanied by according constitutional changes) would reduce sovereignty while reducing central control.

As it stands, the Treaty of Lisbon went about as far as it could in handing additional powers to the EU Parliament while triggering the minimal number of constitutional changes for member parliaments, and look at the circus that turned into. And that was first after the attempt at a constitution failed.

The centralisation you worry about already happened many years ago, and the sovereignty issue is now largely the blocker to devolving more that power to the EU parliament, and after the trouble getting the Treaty of Lisbon through there's little appetite to take another round anytime soon.

That Lisbon has given substantially sharpened teeth to Parliament has been demonstrated repeatedly, with both the Commission and Council of Ministers having been forced to backtrack or compromise in areas where they previously would have been able to do what they wanted.

> The team at the museum read the contents of this EPROM and used it to set up a second, less historic Apple I.

Yes, anyone — the only operational Apple I on the planet right now, and your kid can type “butts” on it with fingers still greasy from the sandwich they got across the street.

While the Apple I is rare, I'm pretty sure the one described above isn't the _only_ operational Apple I on the planet. I say that because I've seen a few differently housed ones on YouTube.

That all said, it's still amazing that this museum allows anyone to play on one of theirs. That article made me want to visit America just to visit that museum.

Can anyone offer an opinion on how mainstream is TypeScript? Is familiarity with it likely to be useful to companies who use plain JS? And does TS tend to be used across the stack, or it is used more for front-end or back-end?

I keep trying to get my head around javascript, and each time end-up walking away metaphorically shaking my head in disbelief. I suspect that this is because my background is in languages like C/C++/C#, so I'm wondering whether TypeScript might provide a way in for someone like me.

There are lots of subtle and not-so-subtle design aspects that mean Twitter nudges people into arguments and bullying (not by accident per se, but rather as a result of optimising for "engagement" and not thinking about what that translates into). I don't mind there being sites out there on the Internet that are not for me, but twitter is contributing to the polarisation of society, especially when politicians start taking it seriously.

>Taking that into account, let's revisit the context of the parent comment: "What if being asleep is the default state for any organism?" What do you mean "what if"? "What if <insert obviously true statement>" is not a constructive or insightful question.

Well, assuming it's true, it's not that "obvious". And even if it is obvious to e.g. a biologist, it's not at all obvious to a layperson.

In fact it's so "not obvious" that you didn't even consider it valid when the parent said it (I merely clarified it further).

>Repeating myself: If you're suggesting there's no reason for sleep other than conserving energy, that's patently false.

Why repeat that though? It's not as is somebody claimed it.

What parent said (and I clarified) was whether sleep is the default state of an animal, and everything else is a deviation from that default to achieve a specific (reproductive etc) purpose.

So not only we did NOT say that "there's no reason for sleep other than conserving energy", but we explicitly said something close to being the opposite: that the only reason to be awake is to "eat and reproduce".

The section 3 vulnerability traces (aka "de-anonymizes") precisely no transactions at all. It indicates that the probabilities across potential outputs sources are biased, but does not offer any method at all to identify any actual source.

The estimate of the bias given in the paper for the current default and typical usage is that the most recent potential source has a probability of 45% instead of the ideal 20%. In fact this likely applies to 100% of current transactions, not 80%.

This is a known issue, and not ideal, and the quantitative results in the paper are helpful, but the paper does not show what you claim it shows.

I think the reason things are as they are is that people don't care about these things. At least not enough to put their own time and money in exchange of it. I would easily choose to take a higher salary and enjoy not having to worry about managing company's risks and direction in addition to my main job. Also, evil executives who specialize in managing companies are probably more competent in managing companies and maximizing profits than random people in the office.

Nice! For comparison, here is how one could approach this task in Prolog. First, let us introduce a few suitable operators, so that we can naturally state the given facts:

:- op(700, xfy, and).
:- op(700, xfy, ==>).
:- op(750, xfy, or).
:- op(700, fx, not).

With these operators, the given knowledge could be represented as follows:

fact('I go to school' and 'I study' and 'I exercise').
fact('I exercise' ==> 'I\'m healthy').
fact('I study' or 'I\'m sick').
fact(not 'it rains today').
fact('I study' and ('I go to gym' or 'I drink a coffee')).
fact('it rains today' or ('I exercise' and 'I study')).
fact('I\'m healthy' ==> ('I\'m happy' or 'I\'m fit')).

Now, all it takes is an interpreter for such domain-specific rules. We can easily implement one in Prolog. Here is a starting point:

true(C) :- fact(F), conjunction_conjunct(F, C).
true(B) :- fact(A ==> B), true(A).
true(A or _) :- true(A).
true(_ or B) :- true(B).

conjunction_conjunct(C, C).
conjunction_conjunct(A and B, D) :-
( conjunction_conjunct(A, D)
; conjunction_conjunct(B, D)
).

With this knowledge base and the given deduction rules, we can query for example:

?- true('I study' and 'I exercise').
true .

?- true('I study' or 'I\'m sick').
true .

?- true('I go to gym').
false.

?- true('I\'m healthy').
true .

?- true('it rains today' or 'I\'m healthy').
true .

We can also use this interpreter to ask the most general query, and it enumerates statements it can derive:

?- true(T).
T = ('I go to school'and'I study'and'I exercise') ;
T = 'I go to school' ;
T = ('I study'and'I exercise') ;
T = 'I study' ;
T = 'I exercise' ;
T = ('I exercise'==>'I\'m healthy') ;
T = ('I study'or'I\'m sick') ;
T = (not'it rains today') ;
T = ('I study'and('I go to gym'or'I drink a coffee')) .

Note that a more direct formulation is possible too with Prolog. However, an important advantage of the interpreter-based approach is that it lets us stay very close to the task description. Further, we can easily extend this interpreter with more features that can be implemented on top of Prolog.

I think you misunderstand what 'statically allocate' means. That means a size known at compile time, so that the space for that variable can be assigned in the memory map of the executable. Anything involving a 'custom allocator' is doing runtime memory allocation.
How to Become an Omni-Channel Data-Driven Retailer
It really depends on what you're looking for. For instance, twitter can be good for niche areas. There's no subreddit for local politics in most places; even places that have one don't have one that's very active (look at the NYC politics subreddit). But it's easy to follow a few local reporters, politicians, and activists on Twitter to get a sense of what's happening.

It's also quite useful for up to date information. If I'm trying to find updates about what's happening at an even - especially if I'm trying to find information from multiple sources - Twitter is often the best venue. If I'm trying to find a summary of what happened days later, yeah, a blog post or article would probably be better.

Of course, you can emulate some of the functionality of what Twitter does on other platforms. But the same can be said for most of the web. Blogs are a good example - I'd argue that it'd be much easier to use a personal web page from 1994 to emulate what a blog does than it would be to use a blog to emulate what Twitter does.
>> He was a design/marketing guy.

That's wrong - he could both program and he was also extremely hardware technical, but not by a long shot to the capabilities of Woz.
