About vim and the mental load, even though one of its great features is its precision, sometimes we should pour a bit of sloppiness into it. And as vim users, we shouldn't feel ashamed. This user puts it in a great way:

I was not wondering why at all, if it appears that way I did not intend it but I can't see anywhere I said that above.
That sounds like an assumption, not a conclusion, though.

Also, most of human history (and especially mammalian history) has been relatively food-energy-limited. But we've solved that problem with the agricultural revolution and automation. Does this mean we've removed that barrier?
If it's thermal dissipation (which is believable, as Adderall increases your body temperature), that can be solved artificially: wear a wet towel, increase air conditioning, or wear a cold pack.

In the case of crimes against community, punishment does not help as much as greater involvement in community and stronger connection to those who lose.

If you believe in the philosophical position known as Strong AI, then at some point in the perhaps quite distant future, when the AI gets good enough, the use of advanced AIs in computer games will become a civil rights issue. That is, we might need to have limits on how accurately NPCs can be simulated. Because at some point the simulations will be indistinguishable from reality including by the simulations themselves.
I am more impressed at that ability to blend colors on a print, but like you would on an ink-jet printer.

I don't think anybody disagrees with that, it's just that scapegoating immigrants is a fairly explicit manipulation tactic by the wealthy to control the poor. After all, poor immigrants aren't the ones who engineered an economy of staggering inequality and wage stagnation.
Maybe because it's not crap? Positive energy is probably behind about 80% of all success.
Bits are bits, regardless of how "advanced" they are, they're still bits. "Killing" them (if you can call it that) is fine. If your life depends on someone else's hardware, their rights trump yours.

Of course, no sane developer would ever use something at that level for a game, it'd just be emulating way too much useless stuff. Clever game bots are much simpler than that - simply picking a less than "optimal" path sometimes and giving them the ability to cheat in some ways makes things a lot more interesting.
Exactly. On one hand I'm happy to see people getting exposed to more of this stuff via the Pi; on the other hand I'm dismayed when they never move beyond it.

I've tested an Odroid C2 doing ~400 Mbit/s using SSH (chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com) (maxed out one of four cores). Same form factor, same GPIO pinout, similar power requirements as the Pi. Supported well-enough for virtually any application with armbian. People are gouging on price for now but even still it's only $10 more for the board and it trounces the Pi in any networking application.
Ugh. More features? This kind of thing should be handled by the plugin system – maybe even as a "featured plugin".

Shufflemaster iDeal shufflers have a camera in them that reads each card that goes by it and stores that card in memory

One would hope that the machine actually uses that information in real time. Specifically to check for missing or duplicated cards.

But the casinos probably wouldn't care for that feature. Their edge improves markedly if an Ace goes "missing".

Players find it hard to notice missing cards, because casinos generally use perhaps 6 decks at a time, and many cards are not exposed to the players during the course of dealing them from a shoe (often a casino won't deal perhaps 25% of the cards). But 23 vs 24 Aces does make a difference in the casino's edge.

It may not seem like much, but with perfect play the house edge is only about 0.4% in Blackjack[1] (depending on exact rules), so every little bit helps.

Inaccurate title. This is Uber for ONE limousine.
no, React will replace your Rails routers.
Not just enemies either. Strong AI with standard NPCs could make for some interesting game experiences too. Like say, virtual villagers or townspeople who have their own lives seperate from the player and their actions and react in realistic ways in regards to events going on around them.

We can already see elements of that in games now (Zelda Breath of the Wild puts a lot of thought into giving NPCs realistic behaviours for damn near any possible interaction), but it could get a lot better in the future.

As for enemies, there are definitely ways intelligent enemy AI could change games there. However, you have to be careful about one thing when implementing these systems and randomness and what not.

Games generally have to be enjoyable to the player, and making your enemies too realistic can hinder that. They draw on this a bit in the article:

> If you're playing a game and the AI's always completely unpredictable, it just turns into a frustrating experience for the player because they can't learn a good strategy to actually succeed at the game

But it goes further than that. A smart enemy with a good battle strategy might be overly defensive, and that itself might not be all too fun for the person fighting against them. Look at the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for example. The motion controlled combat was a big part of the game's setup, but the enemies countering and being careful to block your attacks and what not may have actually made the fighting less exciting for the player. They came across as rather unaggressive as a result.

It's sometimes more exciting to have your basic enemies act like Leeroy Jenkins esque cannon fodder.

Either way, it's an interesting area to think about.
Its a very capital intensive business. Wall street doesn't like that because it makes ratios like ROA (return on assets ) look bad. So there aren't a whole bunch of people who can do that and you always have to keep investing upgrading to keep your plant competitive.
I agree with your skeptical sentiment, for the most part.

However, dismissing Bitcoin as a bad commodity (because it cannot be used for anything) misses the mark. Instead, look at Bitcoin not as a commodity, but as money. Money (particularly paper money) has no intrinsic worth. What makes it valuable are its properties, and functions bestowed on it by consensus: counterfeiting resistance, fungibility, medium of exchange for payments, storage of value, unit of account.

Can Bitcoin fulfil those functions? That remains to be seen, and I'm skeptical on storage of value (too volatile) and unit of account (too volatile, nothing is denominated in it), but it works to an extent as a payment mechanism (though worse and worse now, with the increasing transaction fees).

Publish in a Congress is like $1000 (fee+trip), journals is less, access to the papers is millions for the universities.

They don't review the papers for you, they review for the Congress or journal, so they can decide which papers are worth to publish because otherwise they don't know.

Web hosting for universities would is nothing. So that is no an excuse to charge you for accessing the papers. Notice that the researches cannot have their papers in their web site because once they publish the papers the publisher has the rights.

Some things are changing but it is still so broken.
Fiction is fiction. Characters in games and other virtual universes are not real, and things like real life rights and criminal laws should not applied to them.

Per the article: "The vast majority of American adults are overweight; nearly 40% are clinically obese. And doctors now know that excess body fat dramatically increases the risk of serious health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, depression, respiratory problems, major cancers and even fertility problems. A 2017 study found that obesity now drives more early preventable deaths in the U.S. than smoking."

I can definitely dig the thought behind multi-cursors, and I think the people downstream comparing the use case to regex is a little off. I think a better analogy in vim is macros, considering you could run a macro ripping through the results of a string search (which, sure, could be regex), but you could also use it for appending/prepending to lines and patterns, which is really useful in certain cases.
I've been using hub to do update orchestration over a group of repos, i.e. bubbling up updates through a dependency tree, opening respective Pull Requests, linking them among each other, etc.
I've used hub for a few years, but I find the advice of replacing the 'git' command with 'hub' to be a bit over the top. Security/compatibility concerns aside, it can easily confuse non-experts as to what kind of CLI functionality git itself (vs hub/github) provides.

It's often helpful to know what's actually happening... then add something like hub later as an optimization.

Wait, what?

A security researcher listed data they'd stolen through a security exploit on the dark web so they could bring it to your attention?

Am I the only one thinking this seems incredibly questionable on an ethical level?

What would he have done if you hadn't seen the data was for sale? Sold it to blackhats to exploit? Or spammers to take advantage of?

That seems like the 'researcher' was being a real sleazebag here. Forget ethical disclosure, this person is clearly going to be sued at one point or another with those sorts of practices.

Either way, sorry you went through this. Hope you learnt how to improve your security for the future after this debacle too.

Depends entirely on the immigrants themselves. Cost of living is ridiculously high in "desirable" coastal cities. Most immigrants can't afford that.
OK, lets assume that its possible to simulate a human mind well enough that the difference is indistinguishable (this is a very familiar idea in a lot of sci-fi, uploading consciousness and all that sort of thing). If you accept that assumption, things very quickly get complicated. Would it be OK to kill a virtual copy of a person? If so, on what basis? That people running in biological brains are somehow more real than digital ones? Why? How do you know you're not running in a simulation right now, etc etc.
You know what they say about the candle that burns twice as bright, though
A lot of the financial system is built on legacy systems that don't work very well, don't interoperate very well, and don't really have the capacity to handle what's demanded of them. Hence why a lot of very simple things takes days when they should take seconds, or cost several dollars when they should cost fractions of a penny: Stuff like transferring money between accounts, registering a change in ownership of financial assets, etc. Generally speaking the situation is something like "there's a central organisation that everyone trusts, they run a central ledger, but it's slow and limited; we need to upgrade it."

However, spending millions and millions of dollars to make a better system for recording payments, or changes in land title, or whatever is a hard sell. It's an extremely boring problem that's been solved ages ago, and now someone needs to actually go and build it, but nobody wants to fund it, and nobody wants to work on it.

A blockchain, on the other hand, is cool. People want to talk about them, people want to work on them, and you can get funding. Of course, it's totally unsuited to solving any problems banks actually face, but that's neither here nor there. :)
I think he's talking about the way Australia hides economic problems through immigration.
Well, in the case of Iraq though, it seems a slam dunk, since Iraq had not attacked any NATO member.

If the US wants other NATO members to step up, then they should reduce payments. Either NATO members will make the determination that the new budget constraints represents an unacceptable level of reduction in capability below which they think is required, or they'll think NATO doesn't need as large a budget.

Realistically, NATO's deterrence effect against Russia comes down to nuclear-MAD. The conventional forces don't matter as much, if NATO is attacked by Russia conventionally, and NATO goes to war, you have a direct hot war between two nuclear equipped entities which is a bit too much risk, so there's little chance of a Russian invasion of a NATO member regardless of NATO conventional defense capabilities.

I think it's likely any conflicts with non-NATO states on the Eurasian continents will likely be proxy conflicts, with NATO and Russia backing different factions, like with the Korean War, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.
Hard to say.

Is it much more enlightening for a doctor to hold a model of a medical scan in their hand, or rotate it on a screen?

There's potentially a lot of information to be interpreted in a 3D model, being able to use our natural systems to interpret the model seems like it would make it easier to understand. I imagine VR would be a step from looking at a model on a flat screen.

Having the physical model goes a step further, allowing you to experience it tactiley as well as visually. I suspect that the ability to manipulate the model with your hands while looking at it would make it easier to understand its features as well.

For simple antenna models I suspect not much is gained by having the printed model, they just look pretty cool. If you were to model more complicated antennae, or include interference from surrounding components, the resulting physical models have the potential to make understanding exactly what is going on much easier.

Look at Namecoin or Sia for example - Namecoin makes the ability to buy NS records scarce. Sia makes it possible to buy and sell digital storage.

This only applies to a few things for which ownership of the content is not the content itself and for which one party has more interest than another. If I pirate a TV show, I have all the value of the content.

On the other hand, if I read someone's DNS name, I do not have the value of controlling what it's set to. Similarly, if I want to buy storage, someone needs to be guaranteeing I can hold that or putting scarce resources that have value on the line if they fail.

Well, yeah, if you have 100% test coverage it doesn't matter. The thing is, with a dynamic typed language you have to have 100% test coverage to have any idea of whether the thing will even run. One misspelled variable will take down your server (something that frequently happened to me in development). With a static typed language all you need to worry about is logic errors. Yeah, you should have tests (and with a server, there's really no reason not to), but the reality is that tests are a pain to maintain, and writing the test often takes as long as writing the code. So, along with documentation, the chances of 100% test coverage is minimal unless you are in control of the project. With a statically typed language, at least you know somebody didn't make a misspelling in an infrequent code path and doom your server from the start.
Well, as an outsider always reading about race issues, Ferguson riots, BLM, black people here vs white people there, identity politics, ethnicities only voting for one party etc it doesn't seem like immigration is so desirable.

cope with a changing population

Why is it just westerners/whites who are expected to cope with a changing population?

Can you imagine a scenario in which say Beijing, or Tokyo, or Jakarta, or Riyadh, or Nairobi, or Lagos, or Mumbai were filled with a foreign population that was greater than 50% of the total population for the city?

Can you imagine a scenario where any country outside the western world had demographic numbers showing that foreigners outnumbering the founding population group of the country in the sub 25 age group?

These scenarios are unimaginable and quite absurd even to ponder for anywhere outside of white countries. And yet, have you been to London? Have you looked at demographic charts?

People can raise objections to the population displacement you seem to favor without it having anything to do with "racism, scapegoating, and a general inability to cope," or "muh jerbs."

There are plenty of westerners who think, "We've got a pretty good thing going here, we've brought a lot of good to ourselves and the world as a whole. And we'd rather not see our civilization drastically altered, because a drastic altering of our civilization will impede our efforts and abilities to go on doing good for ourselves and the world."
