Nature does not care about our definitions, and properties are usually on a gray scale, not black-white. Inert gas have very low reactivity [1], but they can still react:

> Nonetheless, low reactivity—instead of no reactivity, as had formerly been thought—characterizes the rare gases. One of the factors governing the reactivity of an element is its electron configuration, and the electrons of the noble gases are arranged in such a way as to discourage bonding with other elements.

That said, I would probably classify noble gases as perfectly safe, since damage from exposure to them will more likely come from mechanical interactions, and not biological / chemical.

It's easy to get warm; hard to get cold.
If you can find a copy, get the 1st Edition of Bertrand Meyer's "Object Oriented Software Construction". (1st ed. is a classic; 2nd ed. is much larger and worse for it, IMO.)

If you can, forget about the title and just read it; most of the good stuff in this book is less about objects and much more a fantastic seminar on programming in general.
It isn't terrible, it is just...a laptop. It is slow to turn on, slow to login and unlock, it likes to update a lot, it isn't as casual iPad at all. I find myself not using it because my older iPad is just easier to pick up and use...

I really want to use my surface more, it is really nice. Just it straddles the worlds between PC and tablet too much.
24-25 Celsius on lowest fan settings should be cold enough for practically everyone.
Upvoted. I'll tell about my family sometime later.

One possible reason I came up with however in defense of the women who said this (yeah, old habit) is maybe this is more relevant in VP / CEX level hiring processes were I guess a certain amount of socializing takes place before contracts are signed?

I have just been to one of these tropical places, I can relate. Super hard to breathe outside, and getting inside feels like a relief.
For most use cases, you don't even need AI. Once you reach a certain scale, there are certainly ML-based solutions available:

Decreasing the AC doesn't mean people will start sweating themselves. 75 - 78 F is perfect but most buildings for some reason turn their ACs all the way down to the 60s.

For athletic centers, of course it makes sense. But in big open libraries, lecture halls, places with little activity in general, it's awful. It's especially bad for your health if you live in a hot region like southern California since your body has to keep adjusting between the scorching heat outside to the freezing cold inside.
Ever try coding with mittens :-) ?

Humor aside, there's a point for me at which even with more clothes the AC is too cold or aggressive and I end up with headaches. Fortunately I am aware of it and I try to be preventive about it (by moving away from the thing).
For what it's worth, the fact that I'm the only one in my circles who didn't figure this out put me in a wayyyyy better position than most. If you think that college is for learning instead of just being present until they give you a degree, you spend a hell of a lot more time and effort figuring out what you want to study, where you'll learn the most, etc etc. All of my friends who treated college as "probably the best opportunity for concentrated learning in your life" instead of "conveyor belt with degree at end" are the ones doing extremely well in their careers, financially and in terms of self-actualization.

I came from a not-great home environment and it was a blessing in disguise that I was at such a "disadvantage" when it came to understanding the college admissions, attendance, and graduation process. Everyone who was savvy to the way college "actually" works ended up with just a relatively worthless piece of paper.
They're literally the same thing. Only difference is how big the fridge is and how much power you dedicate.
And that's not a security issue?

For decades we've trained users to consider domains that look different as malware.

Several major domains that relied on IDN currently are having issues with exactly that.

Because they had the IDN even on their business card, and now users are calling their support because of malware.

We already gave one company control over a major part of internet infrastructure, they are destroying other businesses, and we want to allow their questionable management to control more of the internet?

My office space in china would keep the temperature around 24-26C in the summer. My arms would literally sweat to the desk when typing (I'm not a completely in the air tyoer, as a programmer I don't need to be). I had to hit a cooler Starbucks with a laptop to get things done it was so annoying. I much would have preferred it being a bit colder, around 20C is best, even if I would wear a light jacket at that temp...at least I could type.
> Eg, have newspapers _ever_ had integrity, and if they _did_, what's different?

They did somewhat before the massive corporate consolidation starting in, IIRC, the late 1970s when newsrooms started getting axes and the major dailies progressively became skins over wire services and lightly-rewritten press releases.

The internet often gets the blame, but it providing actual competition was decades after the terminal quality and subscribership decline of American newspapers began.

It actually was the internet competition (both wire services being directly available to readers and the loss of advertising) that actually got some of them talking about building up newsrooms, rebooting investigative journalism, and relying more on subscription income (paid subscription was never paying the bills before, it was pursued as a key metric advertisers used in determining how much it was worth to advertise in a paper.)
You can't take off your skin, but humans are adaptable. My family has minimal problems sleeping in 80/90 degree rooms, though we prefer high-60s.

I suspect (for offices) it has to do with productivity - warmer people can get sleepy after lunch, etc. Colder people are more alert (to a certain point).
A complaint you haven't seen, however, is lack of ES6 support - which means it's still baffling that there's so much focus on that.

(That said, the complaint was always lack of WebRTC and ServiceWorker support.)
Apple's Extensions operate over IPC. Trying to add overlays onto a live camera over IPC would probably introduce unacceptable lag. Especially if you also need to handle touch events too. And of course you wouldn't be able to actually do much besides have an overlay, e.g. transitioning to other screens, showing other UI controls etc. Plus this would significantly complicate the already-complicated Camera app interface.

And what would be the point? You can just launch a 3rd party AR app and it will use the camera APIs to show you the live camera feed, exactly like the built-in Camera app does.
In India, we employed a variety of methods that, all combined, did a good enough job of keeping things cool.

The first was a stepwell, called Baoli in Hindi. This was basically a giant swimming pool dug out and filled with water. Around the stepwell, terrace-like steps were created where the general public could hang out and stay cool. For example[1].

Another method was to have dual walls with some lattice patterns on the first wall. The first wall absorbed all of the heat and would get warm in the evening, but the second wall, recessed from the first wall by a certain distance, would be spared the hot sunshine, and would stay cooler. These second walls made up the walls of your room.

Moving to basements was also a popular solution, since beneath the earth stayed cooler. The British especially loved this solution.

Older homes in India have high ceilings with ventilation at the top to allow for natural convection. The hot air would escape from the top and be replaced with cool air. In places like New Orleans, the Creole architecture also involves inlet vents in the basement-region, where cooler air would be sucked in.

Finally, after the arrival of electricity, we had evaporative coolers, where pads made out of hay would have water dripped onto them. The evaporation of the water would cool things down inside the cooler via latent heat, and this cooler air would be blown into a room with the exhaust fan. This is a fantastic solution for dry heat places because it doesn't get rid of humidity (making the skin feel terrible), and has the power consumption only of a puny exhaust fan (unlike a full blown positive displacement compressor).

Apple's new iOS CoreML inference engine supports Keras models!
Developers will be able to design and train model using Keras and then convert the architecture to run on the CoreML engine. I suppose you can run TensorFlow models too if you designed them w/ Keras.
"Core ML is optimized for on-device performance, which minimizes memory footprint and power consumption."

This is major, if they have managed to achieve it reasonably. But before opening a Sekt, I want to see some benchmarks. :)

In Beijing, we had central CITY heating in the winter. It was so toasty I would open my window whenever the air pollution wasn't took bad.

During the summer, it was hot and humid. Unfortunately, centra AC wasn't a thing, and the wall units would only do so much. Now I live in LA and the weather is mostly perfect.

Like hell it is. I sweat like a pig at 78.

I went to MIT, and I'm pretty sure everyone already had critical thinking skills. In fact, I just assumed that's part of what the admissions office was looking for.

> at least a third of seniors were unable to make a cohesive argument, assess the quality of evidence in a document or interpret data in a table

Is this what defines critical thinking? Because if these are the skills they want to teach, they should just explicitly teach them. Philosophy taught me a bit about arguments, but it wasn't writing class. In writing class we wrote, but they didn't teach structured arguments.

Personally, I loved solving logic puzzles as a kid, and I'd read. Also my mother raised me to think carefully and objectively. I don't ever remember being taught "critical thinking" at school though - not in college or anywhere else. I'm not aware of any workplace that teaches it either.

Maybe that's why we're screwed!?
Exactly. We're taught those things that Google can give us faster than our brain can recall, like "Capital of Peru???? https://hackernoon.com/learning-to-code-focus-on-when-rather...

Most people in the Bay Area don't need AC.

Swamp coolers don't work in the tropics, obviously. They are great in the desert though (except during monsoon season). In the tropics, you cool by extracting humidity, not injecting it. And extracting humidity might not work very well in a very dry desert...so...

ReactQL: Modern stack for React+GraphQL
Lack of a degree didn't seem to be a problem for the electrician I had working here this morning. I can't imagine him being forced to drive for Uber.

A quality education is a very good thing. I am proposing that many people are not critically evaluating what constitutes a good education and how much debt their education is worth.

People are paying their money, expecting a qualification and a job and perhaps that isn't what education is supposed to be about but as long as colleges are making money perhaps that is the best we can expect from many of them.

Southern china is really cold in winter for the same reason: no heat, no insulation. If you heat your apartment, you have to heat all your neighbors, so the only solution is a kokatsu. North of the Yangtze is much better because the central government has dictated that those cities get heat.

They dont want to deal with potentional problems (like battery drain) of the web platform.

They can ignore it exactly because of their appstore and aura of exellence.

But in real world i know so many people who dont have single app on iphone. They cant even imagine what simple link could give them. This could go very wrong way for apple. Imagine their excelent app devs start to make webap version of their apps. Many of the beatifuly designed ones could work very easily on web platform. Suddenly it becomes trend and iphone app exclusivity is gone. Plus apple looses control over the market.

I for one would like to be able to opt in for notifs for events of certain clubs, galleries etc. It feels like sms for your fans. Much faster than newsletter much less busy than social networks.
Specially true in India. Here, you will almost never see someone from decent economic background not going to college. I was little reluctant about going to college, but if I decided that I am not going to college, social pressure would have been tremendous.
It seems that no one is really sure what job college should be doing. It's this massive bundle of so much everything that no one knows what's going on but we all keep attending almost no matter what the cost.

yes, it's an inference engine that runs pre-built architectures. why would you want to train on the device?
Then you have to build that in your application. In typical use-cases, your application does not have to know about Service Workers, but usually not the vice versa. For example, you can decide to intercept /article/show/{id}, just get the content for the article from your API, compile it with a template you have cached, and serve that instead. From the perspective of your app, nothing has changed. It is the holy grail of progressive enhancement.

I would take that bet.

Mechanical, civil, aeronautical engineering, these fields are notoriously slow at adopting the latest and greatest technology. A lot of our code is still written in Fortran, and C++ libraries might as well be considered state-of-the-art. Further, when you're doing a lot of work on code, you are also multitasking like nobody's business. I have three screens, one for code, another for documentation or something, and a third for my browser (for example). iOS specifically will need massively more multitasking capabilities, a proper filesystem, the actual ports of software like CATIA/ANSYS, USB ports etc. to even become part of the conversation. Not to mention the fact that I just don't see why an ipad would be useful in this context. I'm not constantly moving between offices, or from my home to office, as I do advanced simulations. My workstation stays plugged in, and so the ipad doesn't solve any existing problems for me.

As a final note, these fields are involved in most things that you and I use on a day to day basis, so it would also not be right to call them an outdated niche that can be neglected (not that you are calling them that).

Five years of IPv6: whither the next five?
I'm always torn when I see visual programming languages (e.g. DRAKON, LabView, Simulink...). Obviously, they don't represent the way a computer works very well. Simple visual programs are arguably easier to understand than their text-based counterparts, but large programs quickly become a complete and utter mess of tangled wires and hierarchical blocks.

The deal breaker for me (having worked on a large LabView program that controls machinery for a wind energy system) is the lack of reasonable source control systems and the fact that it is very hard to structure a large program in a comprehensive manner.

First off, while it's true that social factors are real, provable with data, and very annoyingly denied by many out there, the degree to which we tie our personal identity to a disadvantaged social identity is up to us. Evidence is pretty easy: talk to people in your disadvantaged social group and ask what they think. Probably most will acknowledge that it's a problem but that they can overcome it through working harder. A few number will not even acknowledge that it's a problem in the first place. And a few number will claim that it's such a big problem that it's insurmountable. I think the first group is probably closest to reality.

If you really dig into the details, the odds are good that the differences in their perception is rooted in more concrete and complicated problems than merely perceiving the problem differently. There are quite a lot of seemingly or even literally invisible issues that have substantial impact on social outcomes.

My oldest son walks around with a social black cloud over his head. People read him as defiant of authority and disrespectful merely for opening his mouth. They read me as ass kissingly deferential. We have done quite a lot of research and concluded that he lacks prosody -- he has no ability to tone match, so he gets that reaction of "I don't like your tone." I apparently tone match by default, which gets me read as very submissive and subservient, but the reality is that I do it in part because I am routinely perceived to be a dragon lady, so if I don't go the extra mile to try to be mollifying and build bridges, it is a shit show every step of the way.

I didn't say I dislike the parable. But as someone who does study the social stuff a helluva lot, I can tell you that there are going to be massively more differences between the "positive" traveler and the "negative" one than merely their attitude. I have substantial social astuteness which makes its vastly less dangerous for me to try to navigate situations that many women want no part of. It would be monstrously assholish of me to dismiss their very real problems in life just because "Well, it works fine for me!"

My son will never be able to glad-hand the way I do. He outright lacks the ability to tone match. Saying the exact same words as me to the exact same people in the exact same situation gets very different reactions. I know because I have seen exactly that happen.

The world if full of fascinating invisible forces, including pheromones, verbal cues and a million other details. Pretending that this parable is merely about having a good attitude is a gross oversimplification.

Tell the story again and say that one of the travelers is black and the other white or one is male and the other female or one is rich and the other poor and see how you feel then about acting like your attitude alone determines your social outcomes.
