Almost identically in those cases. It feels like the "mind" equivalent of trying to put to magnets together on the same pole.

I'll start, then I'll get distracted or get wrapped up in some small inconsequential detail which feels like it has the pull of a freight train to my attention. It also leads to mostly unfinished projects that i've attempted to do before.

It also happens even during "pastime" stuff like trying to watch a movie or even just hanging out with friends, and if I don't take my medicine for a while, it has actually kept me awake before (yeah, i can't focus on sleeping...)

It's like my mind is going 60 miles an hour but in the opposite direction I want it to go. I can't sit still, I can't just "stop" thinking, and I can't focus on what I want to do.

I get that you might be fearful of medically induced suppression or something, but do a little research before giving your opinion on if people should be taking medication. Giving stimulants to people isn't going to do anything to help with suppressing them. And just because you are fearful of medical suppression, doesn't mean that people should stop taking their antibiotics.
Barcelona, Spain is in general a beautiful and very welcoming city, especially when it comes to young people. The creative atmosphere is great, and also for engineering in general. It's cheap to live here, and it should be relatively easy to migrate here.

Short answer is no. One estimate says there are 10^120th possible chess games. I'm not doing the math now, but I believe that falls into the not-physically possible within our lifetime using known physics.

That's what I've been using but doesn't work 100% of the time. Not that it's the extensions fault, it does help. cnn.com has been the worst offender for me, I ended up just disabling javascript on their site just to stop the damn autoplay videos. The other trick I've been using is uBlock Origin (or your fav ad blocker) to block the video player completely.
I guess he did not confess to such a thing, but I don't think he committed fraud, more of a disinformation campaign, but my point is why keep harping on it? He seems to have stopped it and at least we got Dash for iOS open-sourced as a result, so perhaps not ideal, but what do you want to do? You're free to not give him any business, but some people still find it useful.

There are companies like Nestle, IBM and Coca-Cola with much shoddier business practices that I am pretty sure you wouldn't mind doing business with. Bill Gates also did many shady things in the past, yet am sure you used Windows, so did Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt etc.

Kim Dotcom: An open letter to Seth Rich's family regarding hacking claims
It just takes a millisecond to modify the TLD and change it to “.com” -- not a big deal.
That is right. I just know, that many companies flee from GPL licenses (and more so AGPL). They omit any product involving GPL just to be sure not to get any juristic hassles (if rational or not).

Here is the culprit: When no other people invest in enhancements, there is also nothing that can go back upstream.

I like free software very much, but I also don't want to be forced to give things free, that I make. Problem is not the small enhancements I make to an OSS product, but when I link or use some OSS part in a bigger software that I made -- should I always be forced to give everything for free?

Particularly for companies, that is a difficult thing.

To be clear: Of course I would give away my contributions to an OSS product, but I also want to be free, to use OSS in commercial products without need to fear that I loose my own rights.

GPL here is just difficult and when lawyers have to decide about software, anything can happen (as in the patent-wars).
What I like about the Electron is it's 9 engine booster. I think the Falcon 9 has shown with modern engine management systems that large number of engines can be as safe, if not more so given redundancies. Building massive boosters should be easier as well, given you don't have to scale up individual engines as large. I still don't know why the SLS didn't dump the solid rockets and go with a 9 engine configuration and reusability instead of the 4 engine disposable design.

The biggest problem with Electron is that it's disposable. Rocket Labs isn't NASA, and the Electron isn't the SLS, getting funded regardless of cost. Electron is launching in a competitive market.

Falcon 9 launch cadence will increase and it's already much cheaper per pound. Some customers can't piggyback on Falcon because they need a custom or polar orbit, so they'll choose Electron even at a higher cost. But there other competitors are coming in the small payload space, they all have seen that reusability can work, and some have to be building reusable designs.

Rocket Lab looks like it could be out in front for serving these small payloads. But to stay there I'm betting they'll need a re-usable Electron, and fairly soon.
> However, I am not buying the claim that the algorithm is going to transform many other domains:

It isn't an "algorithm" as you think it is. It's not like deep blue or chess AIs specifically built for chess.

DeepMind is "general" and a step towards a somewhat general AI ( though we are nowhere close to general AI ).

Nobody taught Deepmind to play Go. It taught itself how to play Go.

Could a Canadian blogger sign up for a .com address instead, if they wanted to share less information? My impression is that many people feel a sense of pride in their nationality and are happy (or eager) to identify with their country of citizenship.
Not quite what you are asking, but related, is the idea of evaporative cooling of beliefs, a selection effect where over time the more objective and rational holders of a belief are persuaded by the evidence that their belief is incorrect, and those who continue to cling to the belief become a progressively smaller group who are increasingly uninterested in rational argument or scientific evidence. This results in the group arguments becoming progressively more shrill and incoherent.

The sad reality is that technical interviews in the majority of cases do not represent the day-to-day aspects of the job you're interviewing for. The heavy emphasis on algo questions were popularized by Google as a way to filter through a huge pipeline of candidates. Guess what - 99+% of companies do not have a similar pipeline, yet blindly follow the Google format. Before that, tech companies followed Microsoft's lead with their puzzle questions.

In the ideal world, your hard-earned knowledge and experience should prepare you for the challenges in the role you're applying for, but sadly most interviews test for some kind of coding ninjas that spend their days writing optimized merge sort implementations before lunch and building high-performing distributed caches in the afternoon, all day every day. Mind you, none of those problems are particularly difficult, just let's not kid ourselves that they represent the kind of daily challenges you're going to face even at places like Google or Facebook (and especially not under the same constraints as the interviews). The fact that Cracking The Coding Interview is considered a must-read before interviewing is a bright indicator of how bad things have gotten.

Nope, Yellowstone is active.

https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/volcanoqa.htm

"Is the volcano still active?

Yes. The park’s many hydrothermal features attest to the heat still beneath this area. Earthquakes—1,000 to 3,000 per year—also reveal activity below ground. The University of Utah Seismograph Station tracks this activity closely."
Nothing. I decided to wait and saved the money.
"You know when you open Instagram or Twitter and it takes a few moments to load updates? That's no accident. Again, the expectation is part of what makes intermittent variable rewards so addictive. This is because, without that three-second delay, Instagram wouldn't feel variable. There's no sense of will I win? because you'd know instantly. So the delay isn't the app loading. It's the cogs spinning on the slot machine."

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Do social media apps insert `sleep()` calls on startup for gamification reasons? I've only seen that for things like save dialogs, but I also don't work in social media.
You mean, like the pyramids?

I could imagine everything around being like them.

How do i find a remote job
I would like to know how to go about getting a remote job where i can be of real help building something really useful, plus point if they happen to be at startups, I really require it to be remote when taking into consideration the fact that my current location does not make it tenable for me to work in locations that might provide such job offers. Skilled in Python/Django framework with a surface depth experience in Javascript and Java.

I would seriously appreciate any tip or suggestions, I currently feel that i have not been learning anything new or being of real service to the world as of late.
This is truly despicable. Shame on any company who attempts to skirt the laws that were instilled by the people who allow the company to operate within their borders in the first place. Truly shameful and sad.
Really? That's more impressive to you than going to harvard, founding a multibillion company and coming back for the degree?
No, I haven't climbed Everest. I also have never bought a Lamborghini--I'm not rich. Although if we're only letting people who have done it have opinions, maybe buying a Lamborghini is really difficult. Who am I to say, I've never done it!

I have summited Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, however, so I'm well aware of the difficulty of operating at altitude.

Lots of people summit Everest as their first (and often only) major summit. On what basis can you claim that Everest isn't a beginner summit if hundreds of beginners climb it every year?

Lastly, Kilmanjaro isn't the hardest summit in Africa.

One thing that helped me manage my addiction to Facebook was the realization that the number of notifications I get is nearly constant no matter how long the interval between using it is.
That is, if I am frequently active, I am reacting to the same number of notifications as if I am occasionally active.
The more you react to social media, the more it reacts back. It is a feedback loop.
Smart. Take advantage of the deflationary environment auto is going to experience (auto sales have peaked, EVs coming to market, etc).

Also, consider a used vehicle. Used vehicle prices are being pushed down due to lots of vehicles coming off lease and subprime auto credit deteriorating simultaneously.
YtTrends: See videos everyone is seeing
From the article: "I want a future where someone can go to a junkyard and yank a motor from a Tesla Model H (you know, the one with the T-top) and plan to pop it into their Reatta EV knowing that the connections will fit. "

Good luck with that, and it has nothing to do with safety since even safety can be standardized: there are no chances one can stick a HP cartridge into an Epson printer; cars are no different.
The tap based economics we live in is based exactly on the opposite: find a potential source of revenue, then once you have got/patented/bought it, close it behind a faucet and start asking money to open it. Openness would destroy that practice, and the legal system in every "western" country fights to enforce this exact behaviour.
Also, being called a communist after decades of well crafted negative propaganda doesn't help.
It could happen by accident. They insert a new feature into the app which increases load times a lot. It A/B tests better. Not because the feature itself is good, but just because increased load times do better.

Yes, but they're essentially just scraping the surface of those types of moves. In chess it's similar — I'll happily trade down "losing" material to a won endgame. But humans do these things typically only when they can get to an ending where they're 95%+ sure they will win.

AlphaGo will do this in any situation, from the beginning of the game all the way to the end.

I don't buy 1 for a minute. Enthusiasts have been tinkering with cars much, much longer than people have had computers to tinker with.
they don't, it's just that the statement "there is no reason for this software not to have a sandbox" is wrong, because, well, there are many reasons.

A correct statement might have been "there is no technical reason that prevents sandboxing, given a ton of work".
Nice concept, BUT, when cars fail, people are hurt and/or lose jobs because they can't reliably make it to work.

Cars are two orders of magnitude more expensive than PCs, and are not surfing Moore's law.
I suspect it started with​ multiple companies creating PC clones to capture some of IBM's market, eventually leading to a defacto standard, with multiple vendors working for interoperability. I might be wrong though.

+1 for keeping the [A]GPL. As I understand it, the CRUD service that backs this would be separate software, which only communicates with this editor through an API, so it would not be affected by ORY's license.

If ORY was a full stack content editing service, rather than just a client with a demo server, then you could still run it unmodified, making it easy to share the source (just link to the official repo). Your other services could either operate on the data being saved by ORY-service, or communicate with it via an HTTP API (whose implementation would be an open component of the ORY-service). But once again, your own software would not fall under the AGPL, because they do not extend, or trivially wrap, ORY.

The only way an AGPL license would force a user of ORY to share their own code, would be if they forked ORY and extended its own codebase, or wrapped it in a trivial adaptor for some framework or platform, e.g. a Wordpress plugin.

IANAL, and the AGPL is a long read, but I do feel like I understood it, and could use this alongside closed-source services.
If anyone​ thought VW was the only one they aren't a student of history. Lance Armstrong wasn't the only biker to live stronger. This stuff is systematic.

Over testing is harmful, especially when it causes over diagnosis and over treatment.

That article seems like an oversimplification.

Isn't the bank is still on the hook for its liabilities? It might be playing a dangerous game, but it's betting against a bank run (which are rare) and on itself having enough liquid cash on hand to handle withdrawals during reasonable circumstances. We all know banks invest our cash (in loans and tons of other vehicles) in order to earn their profits (and our interest.)

Sure it does. You're in theater X, at a time that movie Y is playing. Based on those two bits of data, that's enough to market to you based on movie Y.

There's no need to know your age, ethnicity, gender, or anything else to be able to market to you while you're at movie Y.

Even more accurately, there's not even a reason to know your location, if they simply market according to the movie you're already paying to watch.

Pretty good post, minus the advice to always use PureComponent everywhere (per Ben's comment in this thread).

If anyone's interested, my React/Redux links list has a large section of other articles on various React-related performance concerns, including benchmarking and optimization approaches: https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master... .

No, because PureComponent does have a check.

His point is that you don't always need that check - that check has overhead too!

Basically PureComponent is just a specialized case of shouldComponentUpdate so it's better practice to be mindful of where you're calling that anyhow.

It's also why there's the push to use stateless functions (when you can) because the kind of pseudo micro-optimization that PureComponent actually is can have counter-intuitive consequences.
Thank you for your feedback, I added it to the issue as well :)
"People never trust an accommodating man with important things. That may sound harsh and cynical, but check it up in your own experience. If you have a severe illness, for example, you turn to the busiest, most exacting doctor in town.

It blows my mind every time I remember that the Great Pyramid was the tallest building on earth from ~2560 BC to 1311 CE.

Also, at the point that some apocryphal Israelites left Egypt, the Giza Pyramids would have already been 1000 years old.
Thanks. Shouldn't the clickbait headline to the longwinded article say "1980s"?
As someone who had measles as a kid, this is good to know! It might explain a series of infections I had in the following years, too. I wish I could remember when I had chicken pox relative to measles, since (the article suggests) I may not actually have the immunity to chicken pox if that infection preceded measles.

Btw, I _was_ vaccinated, but back then you only got one dose and the rate of immunity was insufficient to prevent outbreaks. Thus the second dose that's now standard.
I'm not sure the number but there's a lot of more professional climbers who have sponsorships that pay for their attempt on the mountain also.

Sure some save years for the chance but there's a good percentage that have sponsorships to try to summit.
It's not that I'm surprised, I just wish it was better
