You might consider prefixing other fields with an apostrophe to avoid them being misinterpreted as numbers or dates.

Unfortunately, even if you put an apostrophe on everything, problems remain:

- the apostrophes are non-standard and assure all other CSV-handling tools get the wrong, apostrophe-prefixed values

- Excel itself doesn't escape fields on output, so if someone loads your exported file into Excel, saves it and reloads it, the exploits come back

Excel is a quite frighteningly terrible tool for handling CSV.
I'm curious about what you've done to "develop critical thinking skills". I learned that kind of thing really young and I've always enjoyed puzzles and thinking, so it's not something I've had to work on.

And when I've seen others have problems with it, I've never seen them improve. I've watched them learn facts and processes, but never seen them actually learn how to think about new things that weren't given to them in a book or tutorial.

So... What's worked for you?

You must be thinking of a different place.
You can buy degrees that turn "work experience" into credits, but nobody respects them, so it's not really worthwhile unless you really just want some letters after your name.
I'm assuming this also. Aka watermarking?

It's trivial to inject systematic, minor changes in whitespace or fonts that create a serial number in an image based document format. Every individual obtaining a TS document could be given their own numbered copy for traceability.
About source control: do they have custom diff and 3-way merge tools? If they do they could potentially be used with git.

I find that last observation very interesting. Decades ago, my Reserves unit was extremely diverse compared to every IT environment I've ever worked in since then. I had a female sergeant, a black SFC platoon leader... In my civilian career I had exactly one female superior and I worked with exactly three black people, ever, so far, as numerous people have noted IT is super non-diverse.

The prevailing strategy in the civilian world to improve things, under the assumption that non-diversity is bad, seems to be to bring the diversity numbers up, surely achieving military support unit levels of diversity is numerically impossible but a little higher would be realistic, and pounding out bad behavior although surely not as effectively as the military pounds out bad behavior. Then things will magically be better. Apparently at least sometimes that strategy is unsuccessful as the military is obviously vastly far superior to civilian environments by both metrics yet the result is not superior.

Of course there might be sample size anecdotal issues, etc.

If the observed primary civilian strategy is measurably and comparatively a failure mode, then what strategies DO work?

How does this work if you lose or break your phone?
I know several people who use 2FA apps on their phones to log onto services and whose phones broke and they couldn't log on. While there is usually some way to recover your logon I'd argue that for most people and uses the chances of losing/breaking/replacing their phone and having to go through a painful recovery process outweigh the security advantages.
Yeah, not a separate case but good to mention.
Yes, you're right, small towns have less crime, so it shouldn't be a problem.
You are speaking centralized as in having one central unit for the building, are you not? I am speaking about having a big company, usually city-run, making the cool in a huge plant and then pump it out (in insulated pipes) to the rest of the city/town.

The heat version of it is very common here in Sweden (for towns bigger than, say, 10k people) and it is a lot more efficient (and therefore, cheaper) than having heating units in the different buildings. We even have bigger data centers selling their spare heat from their cooling back to the heating systems.
Well, I'd probably sideload it for her.

If it came to it, I wouldn't buy her an Apple TV anyhow. I'd tell her to buy a much cheaper Fire TV Stick or something. Or she'd watch it on the Kindle Fire she already has.

> I now carry a spray that puts bacteria in the air that displace other bacteria and no colds and coughs anymore. But that's not mainstream.

No, it's not, I've never heard of it! I'm pretty skeptical of new medical claims, though, and I'm curious about this description. From my limited understanding, don't think the bacteria in air are like a bathtub full of objects that take up space, or like an ecosystem that compete for resources and reach an equilibrium: it's more like an ocean full of fish, where spraying more fish into the water aren't going to do much about the existing sharks. Can you provide a link or description of this product?

> There's probably a lot of sick people out there, thanks to AC.

This is also a claim I find surprising. Air conditioners are ubiquitous around here in the summer, but I've never heard of a health risk from them. I'm aware that the cheap window units can develop condensation puddles if improperly installed (I cleaned one out in my old apartment that was disgusting), but the typical business has central air and I thought it actually improved the microbial situation by dehumidifying the air. Citations for this claim?

I find the opposite. My phone is just in my pocket, I pull it out tap the fingerprint scanner and I'm ready. My card is tucked away in my wallet and takes a bit longer.

Admittedly being out of battery is a hard problem, but I chose my phone partly because it has decent battery life.

About as minimal a graphical representation as you can get would be to have a tree of application nodes with S and K combinators as leaf nodes.

You can compile any lambda calculus expression down to S and K and "run" them as a graph.

Doing this on real calculation probably wins a prize for non clarity though...

> “Bernie really was a successful businessman with quite original insights into the market, and he’s continued applying his business instincts in prison,” Fishman said. “At one point, he cornered the hot chocolate market. He bought up every package of Swiss Miss from the commissary and sold it for a profit in the prison yard. He monopolized hot chocolate! He made it so that, if you wanted any, you had to go through Bernie.”

I don't think he was talking about Luckey for the attributed opinion bit.

I've seen a lot of social media that's based on a misinterpretation of a Twitter comment, and people screaming for them to be fired for some kind of prejudice that never actually existed. It quickly got to the point that I no longer trust the general public to be right about anything that involves social media. Even cursory sanity checks fail.
The JS/WASM may be limited to 60FPS if it is being forced to draw every frame, in which case it has to wait for the browser, it may be much faster.

CA are great fun to optimise, i've found ways to make them very fast in JS alone, by using pure state machine method with TypedArrays and sliding window algorithm. When letting it skip frames (only drawing when a frame is available) it can go far beyond generations per second... when you get to larger grids the ultimate optimisation is to use FFT, but on smaller ones there is too much overhead and sliding window is way faster.

Algorithmic optimisation is always better, but this demo works for the purpose of showing basic WASM compilation which was the authors intent, there may be an order of magnitude improvement if a different implementation was used.
This equation changes entirely if you have kids. Or a medical problem.

This mentality of blaming societal problems on the individual ("I didn't have this problem, therefore anyone who does got there because of a character flaw") has to stop.
Thank you very much - and to 'foldr and 'TeMPOraL as well. Yes, I was referring to the logic/reasoning education/experience that one tends to gain in "STEM" - as an example of study outside of the humanities, which I had mentioned in point 3. Not direct/explicit study.

>Your point (4) appears to implicitly making the claim that learning formal logic (or rather, "informal formal logic") doesn't help much with informal logic.

No. My point is that formal logic isn't sufficient, not that it isn't valuable or necessary. It is indeed very valuable and necessary.

>Doing any sort of serious math, you will learn how an argument really works, how to take it apart.

Your "really" there is presuming the thing in dispute, which is what is a "real" or paradigm case of argument/logic. Is it artificial formal language/symbols, or how people actually talk? In the vast majority of circumstances in which we are called upon to reason, the materials we must work with are natural language arguments. At the very least, study in informal logic is useful for understanding what's different about natural language argument; what can go wrong when converting it into formal expression; etc. As you noted, a good mathematician makes even natural language arguments precise "when possible". That requires knowing when is it "possible"; what can and can't be expressed in formal terms; whether some concepts (like democracy, art, etc.) are essentially contestable, which I presume presents difficulties for formalized expression; when is inconsistent nomenclature worth stopping and resetting over; how does one do interpretation; what can go wrong with interpretation; etc. And here's an important one: When are we better off without precision? (For example, would we be better off as a society if the meaning of "cruel and unusual punishment" could be expressed w/ mathematical precision? Some norms are valuable because they facilitate debate rather than settle debate.) If a good mathematician has a sense for all of these things, that sense is no doubt strongly aided by foundation in formal logic. It would also be aided in different ways by foundation in informal logic, but my sense is informal logic is relatively neglected.
It has a mini display port in the back, and I just run a mini display port cable from my laptop to the iMac. I expected it to be complicated when I was looking into how to do it, but it turned out ridiculously easy, I just needed a $5 cable.
An unoptimised implementation says nothing about what WASM is eventually capable of. This is an apples-to-oranges comparison unless the WASM app were optimised for speed. (Also parent mentions a 40x25 display on the BBC Micro).

Game of Life implementations are ideal case studies for optimisation after Michael Abrash's graphics programming columns.
Not that common, and intelligence institutions often have policies not to acknowledge things that are known to be true. I think that not discouraging people from mailing printouts when they don't want to be identified is a good enough reason to pretend that they didn't just read all the info they needed from the printout itself.
I agree that our technical documentation is not strong and well presented yet.

Ask HN: What are Common Production Environment Mistakes AWS Beginners Make
When I learned AWS I made a lot of costly mistakes at the beginning such as accidentally publishing a key and leaving minimal security measurements in place. Thankfully these mistakes happened with static or non-sensitive data websites and were resolved immediately, but this learning experience made me think about experiences others have had with either their initial AWS setups or when auditing new AWS user accounts. From your experience, have you run into common security, configuration, deployment problems that tend to arise from novice users? Any recommendations for those users?

The article does lack any sort of depth. However, it sounds like you're opposed to the headline itself, which seems to be true, and you haven't refuted it, have you? The article does indeed mention the prison population has declined due to a reduction in overcrowding, but that costs are still rising. The high per-prisoner cost remains a fact, regardless of whether it was cheaper in the past or what caused that.

But if Stripe allows Romania it most probably will be used by local companies for worldwide internet payments, so local fraud and corruption won't be affecting Stripe per se.

Actually, I don't exactly understand what Stripe do to "prepare" for the launch in a country? They are expanding very gradually, and there are payment processing companies which basically blanket-cover almost whole world. For example Stripe still marks Germany, Austria, New Zealand etc as "preview", and they were not available some time ago, but fraud and corruption definitely is not a problem there.

The "command line as a single string" dates to CP/M if not earlier:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_page_(CP/M)

I don't think it's an optimisation, but a design choice of simplicity; in fact, CP/M (and DOS) would parse the first two arguments if present, and put the results into the filename fields of the two default FCBs, allowing programs which take two filename arguments (traditionally, an input and an output) to be implemented easily without having any commandline parsing logic of their own. More info on that here:

http://www.gaby.de/cpm/manuals/archive/cpm22htm/ch5.htm

It would be interesting to trace the origins of command-line parameter passing design even further, to the mainframe OSes that came before UNIX, but I'm not so familiar with them.

Edit: OpenVMS appears to also pass a plain string to the process, which is then parsed within: http://hoffmanlabs.org/vmsfaq/vmsfaq_015.html (section 10.3)

I remember reading some of the current crop of pro-diversity research many years ago. The benefits of an ideologically diverse company were clear, and highly positive.

An important caveat, buried in the analysis, is that the researchers noted that at least some of this benefit was due to the fact that people from differing cliques were less concerned about insulting other groups, which resulted in freer speaking, and thus a wider range of ideas presented. This, I think, is a very important point that has been lost along the way in the current discussion of what, exactly diversity means.

This contrasts with a more monocultural corporate environment, where an institutional blind spot may stubbornly remain, as too many of the people involved are all locked in to similar thinking patterns.

The professionals involved kept things professional- they were able to work together effectively. But not worrying about walking on eggshells (or needing to) appears to be an important part of the formula, and, well... I think we're far from that at the moment.

I'm afraid my google skills are failing me, and I can't find the original paper I am thinking of. IIRC, it is a highly cited one, so it should be out there. Maybe someone else will be able to link it. I first read a summary of in in Harvard Business Review ~2011.

The actual problem is not APFS but Apple's programs doing (and their advice to developers to do) normalization. It wouldn't be a problem if programs just used the file names given to them.

In fact, I think the normalization HFS+ does is more problematic. For example, fish shell can't complete file names when you use un-normalized characters in the input. [0][1]
