Great word.

It's interesting how my desire to game has almost entirely disappeared since I left there and started a new company. I'm sitting here building deep learning rigs with fat GPUs, I could just add another partition running Windows and have a killer system for Overwatch . . . but nah, I'm having too much fun with Tensorflow to care.
Well, sure or writing music or poetry or drawing or playing soccer with friends or....

It's an incomplete picture if you ignore the fact that videogames are infinitely more mentally accessible. There's plenty of very cheap, very fulfilling things to do with your time but they don't provide the instant, accessible dopamine hit that movies or videogames do, which put them out of reach for a lot of people.

I don't really watch TV or movies, and I play videogames pretty sparingly. I'm definitely glad I did it, and I find my hobbies now a lot more stimulating and rewarding, but I'd be lying if I pretended it wasn't a somewhat difficult habit to get into.

To add to the other comment, kJ is almost entirely unused on labels in many countries I have visited (e.g. India). kcal is likely more universal.
Ask an allergist/pediatrcian what they would do with their children. The answer most likely would be to "challenge" nut allergies with low doses if symptoms occur and introduce a variety of foods early on as appropriate.

I think that token networks in general have potential. While its impressive that cryptotokens have proven to be a store of value, as they exist now don't offer any significant advantages to cash, except for black market transactions.

What i'm interested in is the ability of token networks to be useful for legitimate transactions between entities. I think in particular there's potential for token networks to increase the trust and liquidity of virtual goods. Right now cryptocoins are basically only useful for traditional transactions that cash is already very efficient at. What I want to see more of is using the logging and trust ideas of token network to develop transactions between virtual goods, that normally exist in siloed ecosystems.
You must have more expensive habits then me. Most of sports people do does not cost much money except if you go fashionable with cloth. Basketball, soccer and such require basically ball and place (which is available for free here). Same with running. Hanging with friends is basically free, so is reading (library) and watching tv.

You can go fancy with entertainment, but people who don't have much money tend not to. In that context, $400 is not such a little investment. (Through phone games can be played for free.)
Could be a second or two. The traditional phone systems are dog slow. Often takes 15 secs from A starts ringing to B does.
the structure of this comment train makes me very happy.
Ahhhhh haaaa yeah.....I've done that.

It was the second day, and I only wiped out a column from a table, but it was enough to bring business for several hundred people down for a few hours. It was embarrassing all round really. Live and learn though - at least I didn't get fired!
WannaCry and Vulnerabilities
The notion of "take students' background into account when evaluating their extracurricular experience" is very widespread. There are some students whose applications discuss volunteering in far-flung parts of the world, and that gets boiled down to "ok, so this kid comes from a rich family..." and doesn't tend to yield positive results.

But the precise details of how this happens varies from person to person on the adjudication committee at my university, and I'd assume other institutions are similar. Some people opt for demographic indicators (e.g. "this is an indigenous student, and indigenous students tend to have less access to extracurricular activities"); I don't like that approach since I insist on evaluating individuals as individuals rather than as members of collectives. On the other hand, I'm probably unique in how much I look for a narrative and self-awareness; to me, what a student has done is less important than their ability to articulate why they did it (and so "working at McDonalds" by itself didn't count for much, but "working at McDonalds because ... [story about why higher education is important to the student and why they're willing to make sacrifices for it]" was crucial).
This seems orthogonal from the top/bottom orientation though, no?
Perhaps not in the UK, but in many parts of the US the leased (low-end) 3-series or C200 is the car if the so-called $30,000 millionaire (i.e., people living a lifestyle they can't actually afford by renting all the trappings).

Not much, say 25 cents or around there. If it's important that's a negligible cost.
I believe half the point was to design for the use-case where you can't fit a "giant table of words [you] can read & numbers." Where currently the nutritional information ends up in restaurants on e.g. a sheet on the wall instead of on your food, or in grocery stores on product bulk packaging (e.g. cardboard boxes that get thrown away, etc.) instead of on the individual product units.

Consider that numbers take up relatively-constant amounts of space, but words for some nutritional concepts in some languages can be extremely long—and mostly you design for this by just requiring the design-element to have a box-size of the widest possible text in the widest language, and then padding the box with empty space almost all of the time.

Removing the words, and just having icons + numbers, allows for a design that can be very "narrow" in horizontal area, taking up a basically-constant amount of space with very little padding, allowing it to fit in many places it currently wouldn't.
Looking at the source code suggests it is peer to peer. The code for daemon indicates you need to specify what address and port to listen on when starting up, and there is code about receiving incoming clients.

Y'all down-voting this but it's true.

Of course McDonalds is in an excellent position to slowly give these symbols meaning through constant exposure, but inherently the way they're designed does not convey anything at all. They might as well have just used colours or shapes.
Not disputing that. But reading HN is something that I can do during work while waiting on a job to complete. Reading a book is much harder because the information is not quite as bite-sized and thus harder to ingest if you have only five minutes at a time. And paintballing is a whole other level of impossible during work time. :)
This reminds me of a project I worked on a few years back. There was a blind chemistry student. There's lots of software to visualize chemical structures, but displaying things on a screen doesn't work for someone who can't see.

We ended up doing a series of file format conversions using python and blender. I believe we ended up with CML (chemical markup language) imported to blender. We gave each column of the periodic table of elements a shape, and each row had a scaling factor. This gave enough distinction to uniquely identify each atom in the molecule. We added cylindrical connections between the atoms as defined in the CML file then we could export to STL.

We called it Molly-Gen, a play on molecular generation. We were working on a web portal for it to bounce around various university approvals easily to go above and beyond, then were nicely told we didn't really need to do that.

I also spent about 2 years formatting text and pictures for the student. It was an interesting job early in my undergrad years.

My first question would be in what use case do you require the ability to alter via a program the same config file that you expect the user to be able to hand edit and never have a conflict?

It was my understanding that issue was best handled by having multiple files and having one take precedence over the other. Like having a global config that is pushed to the machine and allowing the user to locally override values set globally in the local config.

Another solution to multiple parties needing to define configuration for the same area without stomping all over each other would be to have a directory wherein all files contained therein are applicable. That way multiple people can maintain their own particular files but some precedence has to be established.

Even if you do need to do this I wouldn't think it would be that hard to modify lisp with lisp.
What was GetAround's support like for these issues? Did they cover the cost of the parking tickets, or the repairs? Were you using GetAround's insurance?
That's a very broad generalization. Videos games, computers/consoles, and internet access are essentially commoditized to the point where an Xbox, some games, and a TV (+ maybe internet) can be found cheaper than an iPhone.

You could easily drive part time for Uber and get your emotional fulfillment from video games without being supported by wealthy parents.
Symbols, in origin, fundamentally have no meaning.
You might not be reading the right books? But also -- getting into a reading habit takes a small amount of patience if you are used to the intense stimulation of game.

As long as it's a fairly consistently timed window (and I assume it is), it doesn't matter if it's just a few milliseconds.

On a related note, I'm still surprised to find that telephone operators haven't fixed the scenario "someone calls me and I just miss it, I call them back while they're trying to call me for the second time, and we both get a busy signal". As a naive outsider, seems like it wouldn't take much to just connect those two calls.
Economy is not helped by people being eternally miserable - miserable people are less likely to find another job, more likely to start drugs or commit crime. Depression does not tend to incite people towards meaningfull action. Staring into wall does not build work experience anymore then game. Nor does hanging around cheap alcohol with other unemployed.

I do not know what the issue with construction is, but it is highly unlikely that the same city have thousands unemployed playing games who could otherwise work there - if only they were a bit more miserable.
Do telcos get paid for wire taps? I can't imagine much enthusiasm to make enforcement agencies likely to want another another type of wiretapping system if they're underpaid for the current one.
I would suggest that if it can't currently fit then it needs to be rethought if it should be there at all, especially if abbreviations can't be used in whatever language it's required.

Icons that are impossible to decipher don't improve anything IMHO. Perhaps they should have gone culturally-specific, something with just the first letter, or anything else that people might locally understand if the word absolutely can't be used.
You're insane if you think a bunch of icons on the back side of tray-covering paper are the reason for McDonald's success.

They would've got very similar effect by using single letters in a circle - they're not offensive and would suggest as much to their actual meaning as a bunch of abstract icons.
Regarding edit 2: Using a non turing complete language results in hacks to attain the flexibility that would have been provided by the more powerful language.
"What is software architecture". Just skip all that part and refer to ISO/IEC 42010 instead. This description of software architecture is the equivalent of the Industrial Revolution description from Adam Sandler's movie "Billy Madison".

I disabled my voicemail as I'm charged to call it, but not to receive calls normally
The key here is the number of responses. The "rate" is high (so say 70% of 25 yo males respond to 50 yo women), but the actual number of occurences is low (1% of time time messages were sent). That means 99% of messages were a more typical situation (older men, younger women).

I think a good anology is professional tennis. The claim that "older tennis players win more than younger players" would have similar graphs, since the ones that stuck around to play at 40 tend to win more than the average 20 year old tennis player. That may be true, but only because a small handful of prodigy-level tennis players (Agassi, Sampras) will remain (because they can still win) to play by the age of 40, while 10s of thousands of tennis players who are "pretty good" will be in the typical ranks of major tennis tournaments in their 20s, and phase out of the league as they age because they are no longer successful.

I think that shows that this article is a case of survivorship bias. Women who have what it takes at 50 to attract a 25 year old guy (high energy, good looks, money, personality, etc.) will do so, while 99% of women would fail, but they aren't in the measurement pool because they already figured that out 5 years ago.

One other observation, there's a big difference between "date" (which in this case probably means sleep with, since its one conversation) and "have a relationship", which is totally different. Lets see a comparison of e-harmony or match (more geared to relationships), vs "single conversation" on plenty of fish, or ok cupid (more geared to hookup culture). Or for that matter, lets see how these encounters panned out in 3 months. My guess is most 20 yo guys aren't in a long-term-relationship with 55 yo women, even if they are willing to hook up with pretty much any decent looking female.
I never got the appeal of having voice mail in the first place. Send me a text, call again or wait for me to call back.
I know reading is difficult, but I suggest you review the original question I initially replied to waaay back when. Besides that, this isn't a new config format, if a good solution for modifying it existed, it most certainly would have been written sometime by someone else in the now 47 year history of Scheme. Despite all the hate and presumed expertise on this tragic little subthread, nobody has been able to link to such a thing, or indeed offer any practical solution beyond "you should rewrite everything in Scheme" or "link against the compiler's parser", or "implement this algorithm I just came up with 10 minutes ago"

I agree with that, you are completely taken out of your actual context, or at least I am.

I used to game really heavily during a pretty terrible period (divorce + grad school) in an attempt to cope. Of course it actually just made things worse overall while distracting my brain to make it seem temporarily better, it diverted a lot of the energy I might have used towards engaging and fixing the problems.

When I game severely (FPS shooters are my crack) I can get focused for a dozen hours at a time. My body almost shuts down, I get into a trancelike state and my metabolism recedes. I forget to eat, I don't get tired. When I finally do sleep I will wake up the next day and actually have a headache until I play again for a little while. It was that kind of physical withdrawal that made me realize long ago how pernicious it was, at least for my particular physiology and brain. Now I will only play games like that in a social setting, never alone lest I fall back into that spell.

One time in grad school I stayed up all night gaming and I slept through my alarm. I missed an exam. That I was proctoring. I went straight to a pawn shop and sold my console when I realized what I was doing to myself.
Yeah I can totally see that. I liked the classes are nominal, plain objects are structural because its close to what people expect without even knowing the difference.

But yes, TypeScript was very much designed for a target audience (all of the C#/Java-style class features and namespace stuff early on, which less and less people want as time go and people learn about better ways of doing things).

It seems inevitable to me that eventually (might take decades), Haskell-level type systems will be the norm and people will learn them in highschool. The world is just not ready (and neither am I)
You can always set your voicemail number to something funny. I used to set it to a French ski resort automated weather report telephone - that's annoying and an expensive international call to boot, so people quickly stop trying (not that you'd notice if they didn't).
Yet 99.9999% of the world are no longer babies. So symbols do..not in origin/pouch...have meaning. Why not go with symbols that have inherent meaning rather than unsupplemented ones?
Maybe OP means the eu-stress from gaming is neglectable compared to the emotional trauma described. Getting used to and thinking that's normal stress might numb rather than build mindfulness, because just doing it frequently doesn't promise improvement. EG repetitive strain might hinder that. And it might be distractive in general.
My phone already alerts me to "spam" phone numbers for incoming calls, this will become just another spam control issue based on audio analysis / transcription of the message content. Regulations would be awesome but considering how poorly enforced even simple things like "do not call" are, well established spam control techniques probably where this will end up.

Because Swift 1.0 was far superior to Objective C in maintainability and code quality.

Now I do admit the build times were awful and I had a couple puzzling crashers that were only cleaned up by Swift 1.2 (thankfully didn't ship till after 1.2 was final), but the transition was worth it.

I've rented from them a few dozen times and while it has its pros and cons (99% of which involve having to coordinate with a real person for pickup/dropoff) the service is generally simple to use and useful.

I thought this article was really strongly negative for no obvious reason. Clearly it's a challenging market and the challenges are newsworthy but there must be many positive experiences as well, since that's what I've had and presumably I'm not literally the only one.

How is "Spain robs us" xenophobic? I don't think when americans, for example say, "washington robs us" that's xenophobic at all. It does xenophobic when it's coupled to antitourist sentiment or excluding people from moving to Catalonia (which I don't doubt it is, at the level of the political party)

> once the economy gets fully recovered.

I guess part of my point is that spain's economy won't recover so long as the entrenched political class that feels like it's entitled to the gains catalonia's relatively performant economy.

The same pattern holds true with the EU writ large. For example the entirely disingenous anti-austerity rhetoric in greece vs. germany: news flash, austerity only hurts the poor when you direct the pain of deficit reduction against the poorest and refuse to give up the sweet deals that fill the pockets of rich politically connected interests.
That's a really good point. the gaming i talked about was in a pretty stable time in my life, more or less every other aspect of my life was working smoothly. Thanks!

Relevant line from TFA:

> Some colors were changed because nutritionist feedback identified red with protein, yellow with fat and green with energy.

Red, I understand. Muscle fibre (what protein builds, in most people's minds) is red. Yellow is fat because fat is, itself—in large enough amounts—a light yellow color. Butter, margarine, liposuction ejecta... etc.

Energy, though, is a bit hard to deduce. Notice that the symbol beside carbs is a gas gauge. Petrol is, in fact, a somewhat-greenish liquid. And I'm guessing petrol was the subliminal metaphor here. You "fill up on" energy like a car fills up on gas; and carbs make you go like gas makes a car go.

Isn't this a theory that's sometimes used to support the simulation hypothesis? The idea that weird effects in nature such as wave/particle duality are the simulation's way of cutting down on processing time, something like reducing draw distance in a 3D game.

It's probably the kind of thing that will be easily debunked by a real physicist (if you are one, go ahead) but I find the idea quite mind-blowing if I think about it for too long.

I'm one of those weirdos that sticks my config into org mode files too.

https://github.com/mitchty/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.org

(actually i use org mode to compile all of my dot files based on predicates, i'm double plus weird here >.<)

I really rather like this way of working with things as it just sticks stuff into ~/.emacs.d/elpa. I can rsync that around if i need/want. And it even bootstraps itself if i'm opening things on a new system. I just like keeping each package in its own use-package declaration so I can have config+setup all in one spot.
I don't agree. As I understand these things:

You are mindful and react on direct stimulus - while gaming, you do not think on future or past, you are immersed in your actual activity - it IS mindfulness.

BUT it does not improve mindfulness - it is easy to be mindful at interesting times - that's normal, but not so when nothing interesting is around, and you are just left alone with your own thoughts or problems. Thats what various mindfulness practices trying to improve - to be mindful in common "boring" or bad situations too.

And like for any improvements you usually have to make some effort -
not just do something when it is natural.
