> if you're interested in learning about bullet journaling, stay away from Instagram, pintrist, and tumblr - people have a tendency to turn this amazing productivity tool into an art contest, and it only gives the illusion that the barrier to entry is higher than it really is

This is exceptionally good advice for any kind of organizational system. It's really easy for me to get down on myself for not creating these robust, beautiful pieces of art that memorialize my experiences and help me work. I used to have a tendency to view organizational systems as much more difficult than they are. Now, I use a very basic task list that's on my computer and phones, that is organized by due dates and projects. I don't let myself get down when I miss a due date, or I forget to document everything for a couple days. I just hop back on and keep working.
I find using a outlining tool like workflowy.com as the most simplistic and effective.
Five Guys isn't quick by fast food standards. In my experience you wait ten minutes after you order. They are also more expensive.

Their burgers are much better though.
I recently started using an obscure app on Mac called DayMap. I'm really loving it. I'm usually working on multiple projects and this has a nice day/task/week 1-screen view split by project that helps me keep the big picture in front of me all the time.
> "if you trust such and so (i.c. Alex Jones), you're a moron a priori." This type of reasoning should be discouraged

A fine position on its face in the general case, but let's be real here: if you trust Alex Jones specifically, you really are a moron.
That's true. But still, it seems odd that most of the coverage doesn't mention that limitation.
I love untestable hypotheses because you can imagine them as whatever level of success or failure you prefer in order to denigrate reality.

To me the Hardee's burgers are just like Burger King.
Yes.

It's philosophical for me. Yes, I could buy a DRM book and then strip the DRM but that is self-defeating in the long run, in my opinion.

By refusing to buy DRM books from Amazon and choosing to buy from non-DRM providers instead, I'm sending a message as a consumer about my DRM preferences. I'm also trying to support the non-DRM providers by keeping them in business.

Buying DRM books from Amazon, then stripping it away quietly only signals that you don't mind DRM and discourages other people from directly providing non-DRM options.
How Tech Startups Are Waking Up the Sleep Industry
Doesn't that make it more fun/rewarding?
What does a 30 year goal look like? "Be successful in life"? "Have great kids"?

Can't help but think that I'll probably be close to dying in 30 years, so I'm not sure what my goal can be, other than "be able not to forget who I am, have some money to live, and not shit my pants"
Anyone authoritatively speaking of "nobody" and "everybody" automatically makes me think less of them.

> With internet and TV I don't think there are any new things to be learned from an expo. Same for trade shows.

You can't see the benefit of new VR or stereoscopic displays from home.

You can't see the difference in wider and deeper color gamuts from home.

You can't hear the difference from new positional audio systems.

You can't experience any new tech that involves a physical aspect, like tactile feedback for VR, from your home.

With internet and TV, most people are limited to whatever their crappy sRGB 1080p 60Hz displays and stereo speakers can show them.
/r/Austin is toxic beyond words. There are sometimes great gems though, which still makes it worthwhile to comb through the piles of racist trolling and other muck but it gets to be a harder job every week. The mods just don't give a flipping flip. It is sad.
It's not that simple. Where I live and work the implementation of these policies is actually quite horrible. We're supposed to put everything in open access repositories under a creative commons license and at the same time are supposed to publish in top journals if we want to have any career prospects. But almost no reputable journal of any rank and name allows this dual licensing - not Springer, De Gryuter, Oxford Journals, which alone make up > 90% of all journals in my area, and many journals demand the author to sign a copyright transfer agreement or equally strong publishing contracts.

When we pointed out this conflict to superiors, top science administration officials and university directors and asked about legal support, the idea was that we get no legal support whatsoever! If we breach a publisher's contract because we're forced to by the government, we're on our own. And it doesn't stop there. Assessment of tenure track positions is done by committees that are not staffed with science administration people but with independent peer reviewers, of course, so the procedures cannot really be changed. But if they could be changed somehow, e.g. by forcing these panels to disregard closed access publications, we'd get a whole generation of complete crackpot professors and the level of science would go down the gutter nationwide, because there are simply not enough reputable open access journals. Anybody can upload something in an open access repository, whereas the top journals I'm talking about have acceptance rates below 5%.

So for us currently the choice is between ignoring the open access policies and getting into trouble with the local science administration folks, or giving up our careers and any prospects to ever get a fixed position, and most people chose the former for obvious reasons.
Top 6 Unforgettable Roles of Kevin Spacey in the Movies
BS Mechanical Engineering here from big name school. I wish someone explained this to me in college. I realized my deficiency one day senior year when I let my car overheat and had no idea what to do. I left engineering as a result and came back to it 10 years later.
The US wasn't interested? With Manning in jail? He's not a US citizen. For him, US prison would be a lucky outcome. Rendition and torture would be a realistic fear.

I do, on the other hand, wonder why he'd consider Sweden a greater risk than the UK.
The difference is that these books were produced by the Soviet government. Meanwhile, stuff like G.I. Joe and Captain America were made through free enterprise.

Any government trying so hard to influence the public's opinion of it is suspect in my eyes.
The first step to telling a believable lie is to believe the lie yourself, because then you won't display the subconscious displays of deceit on your face. There's a Seinfeld episode where George tells Jerry that if he wants to get better at lying, he has to convince himself of the lie first.

So I don't entirely think that the teller of the lie needs to believe that it's a lie for it to be a lie. If they believe it, it just means that they're deceiving themselves as well.
I think it is pretty clear that they are Talking about the Y chromosome, i.e. being born a different gender.
Don't downplay the significance of small jobs though - investing a few hours in housework, server configuration or refactoring can all pay off hugely in my experience.
Why is an ampere a fundamental unit but,not a coulomb?
There’s no such word as “copywrited”. The closest word is “copyrighted”, but you can’t copyright a term. You can get a trademark for a term, but it seems that’s not what this is about either.
The logistics were impossible without a kitchen remodel, because they cooked the eggs and the burgers on the same grills, but at different temperatures. The remodels included new equipment and a completely new kitchen workflow.
Reusable charcoal mound – Primitive Technology [video]
Absolutely right about art part. My bullet Journal is on a simple notebook, using only left side of paper, not the both sides of sheet. Yes, monthly plans exist, but otherwise its just a checklist with date as heading. I try to tick as many as possible items, but in the end of week or month whatever is pending, has too little chance of getting done. Wider topics gets their own collections, like vacation preps.

No fancy color pens, no washi tape, no artwork, no clean handwriting, no tabs. Just pen, paper, page numbers.
It was accurate for all the exits I looked at. Would be cool to have a GitHub hosted source csv so we could all keep it accurate.

Once upon a time, https://tweepsect.com/ would get upwards of 650,000 visits/mo so I slapped some Fusion Ads (now Carbon Ads) on it and it brought in about $200-300/mo.

It has slowly declined down to tens of thousands of visits per month, which comes out to around $15-30/mo.

I really didn't want to try and monetize it for too long and ultimately regretted not slapping a simple clean ad on it earlier. Could have made more with more non-exclusive ads but it was about right for the amount of effort it took (very little). Not bad for a completely unattended service with zero overhead.

Flashboiling or not doesn't in the end matter. You'll get burned, badly, the difference is maybe where you'll get burned. I'm not even sure if I would not prefer being hit with liquid that has flashed to steam rather than by the actual liquid but I don't think I'm going to try to find out. Once was more than plenty for me.
Ok, fair enough, thanks for providing some examples, but I'm not sure how many are valid though (Don't get me wrong, there are a bunch, the main one being reliance on the GC/ref count semantics).

> They're moving towards standardizing the ordered dict layout

Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean.

> inspect library

Yes, a fair few functions in that module are CPython specific (or assume a CPython-ish runtime).

> C API

Isn't the C API CPython specific? It is not a Python-language feature. PyPy implemented it to drive up adoption. How would the C API be expected to work with Jython, or IronPython, or a JS implementation?

> Method resolution order

This is not a CPython leaking, it's a specified thing. Python uses the C3 algorithm.

> __slots__

Again, this is a language (or object model) feature?

> globals()

Again, specified by the language? Not a CPython specific thing?

> id

ID returns a unique identifier per object. That's all, in CPython it returns the memory address. Is that what you mean?

I think a couple text lines about the market, some screenshots, and a product demo video would be good. Optionally, for those looking for funding, some info on traction growth.

The hardest is the demo video, but that is the most important. Without a good demo video you don't understand why your product exists.
Getting into the Mindset of Successful People
That's a good point and made me do some more research. The range at which B. cereus grows ends at around 50C -- the exact figure varies depending on the source. Generally, 65C seems to be considered safe. The "warm" mode of (some? check your manual) rice cookers is designed specifically to target that temperature range to avoid contamination[2][3].

Perhaps you would find the original article https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/5/18/15655638/charles-... has the weighty facts that this response-to-criticism lacks.

I strongly disagree with the rationalist fallacy that science must progress unfettered by social or political 'ideology'. The very notion that science is ideologically blanched, that it exists in some asocial vacuum, is naive at best, disingenuous​ at worst, and misguided always.

To paraphrase John Wheeler on spacetime: Society tells science how to move; science tells society how to curve.
Not really. The bar is remarkably high, and judges are very reluctant to throw around substantive penalties.

The real solution is to force the lawyers to bear some of the burden when they lose. As it stands, the lawyers win regardless of how good or bad their case was.
No statuses (acquired, dead, etc) so it's not very useful except as a starting point for a useful database.

> Amazon killed their dash button market when they packaged three Dots for $120

That's a strange way to put it; assuming you're right, I'd have thought that was a win for Amazon - up-selling people to what I presume is the more profitable product.
Schemaless by definition means this is not guaranteed. The same property name can hold different types of data from one object to the next. Several other key-value/wide-column have the same exact setup.

Before I leave work I set everything up so I can hit the ground running hard the next day. Relevant files and requirements open and pertinent information set to remind as I go through the morning. Before I go to bed I prep my lunch for the next day to cook in the morning, and hang my clothes in the bathroom. I use (according to friends, abuse) Siri with time and location specific reminders for everything else. Also I keep a small sketchbook where I write down more general long term reminders and use it as stress release (can't figure out a problem? Draw my hand, or make a repeating geometric pattern till something useful comes to mind). Also emailing myself frequently. And voice notes. I'm not organized, but I stay organized with that mishmash

Yep totally safe.
Logical replication by default doesn't even handle DDL statements so something as simple as adding a new column requires extra process. Postgres is probably the weakest of all relational databases when it comes to scalability, both vertical and horizontal.
Vega is built on D3. It's just operating at a higher level. It's like C++ vs Python. You can do anything in C++ you can do in Python, but it may take a lot more work.
I've read many articles about what went down in Sweden. I've seen no claims that he forced either woman to have sex. He didn't seduce them. They wanted to have sex with him, and bragged to their friends.

And they remained friendly with him afterward. Until they learned that he'd had sex with both of them. That's when it got crazy. Also, one of them was concerned that a condom had broken, and wanted him tested for STDs. That's initially why she filed a police report.

After that, it was mostly driven by the prosecutor. It's not impossible that the US government played a role in that. But the women were initially Wikileaks supporters, and weren't likely part of a plot to entrap him.
The behavior doesn't exactly switch on pipe detection though. The progress bar consistently shows when outputting to a file.

$ curl news.ycombinator.com -o /dev/null
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 178 0 178 0 0 948 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 951

I mean, it's effectively doing tty detection, but I think it's fair to argue a semantic difference, and it's very similar to how ls strips colors and disables listing format when piped, which is mentioned by the next paragraph in the coding standards.

Compatibility requires certain programs to depend on the type of output device. It would be disastrous if ls or sh did not do so in the way all users expect. In some of these cases, we supplement the program with a preferred alternate version that does not depend on the output device type. For example, we provide a dir program much like ls except that its default output format is always multi-column format.
Yeah I remember people being really sceptic in the beginning that Apple wouldn't even use Swift for it's own projects. People pretending to have "inside knowledge" nobody uses Swift at Apple internally, claims like that.

You have to silence those critics.
That's alright. I see a lot of these posts saying "the bitcoin I lost would be worth $X Million dollars now", but the thing that people overlook is that it would not be worth that now, because they would have sold it a lot earlier if they had access to it. Many people would sell the moment it's all worth about $20k depending on a few factors. In almost no cases is is it truly a million or multi million dollar loss.
How is hygiene handled? For example, does this relate to or incorporate some of the "Bindings as Sets of Scopes" work?
Feature request: Play All
Just seems pointless to me. The chances that a production machine might have a jvm, Python, Perl, PHP, node.js, curl, wget, or just a database client like pgsql/mysql makes this pretty fruitless.
It's no longer a documentary. It's a personal attack. It's not that Poitras is "an emotional slut". It's that she has an agenda, which is very different from the one that she professed when starting the project. She should have killed the project. And it may well turn out that she violated her working agreement with Wikileaks.

Your conclusion is odd about 15% over 10 years. The conversion rate is declining. Doesn't that mean ycombinator is failing? I mean worse than being stagnant, the value of ycombinator to startups is declining over time. The conversion rate is going to zero, if you ask me.

$100/month for the Pi Searcher + the Splat Calculator. More on Pi day. $1-2 RPM. 100k page views per month. One built in 1996, the other in maybe 99. http://www.angio.net/pi and http://www.angio.net/personal/climb/speed

Neither is designed with monetization in mind. I just threw some ads on them to cover the hosting costs (the pi Searcher needs a few gigs of RAM) -- but it turned out that learning about the ad ecosystem was pretty interesting.
Nope. I left last week and will return on Monday and - just like entering the UK - can confirm that, while there are Customs staff hanging about to make sure nothing goes wrong, they are not individually monitoring each entry/exit.

I find it bloody marvellous. I was on the Heathrow Express literally 20 minutes after getting off the plane from Melbourne. That's how it should be.
I'm pretty fluent in org and I still just write it up in markdown or with a zen coding plugin or in hiccup. Although I do occasionally export my org stuff to html for one reason or another. It's really list focused obviously but I don't dislike it, it just doesn't solve any problems for me.
I few people have already commented on needing to properly isolate the memories, and how difficult it is, and a few others have said that’s better than nothing (and I agree replacing the officers who know which is the suspect in a line up with those who don’t is a basic but massive improvement).

The problem is how easy /accidental/ compromise is, even if you’re trying to avoid it. Just imagine you reading back their testimony to verify it is correct and misspeaking, that is enough.

That said the wonders of CSI, etc have gone a long way to over represent the fallibility of people and to over promise the capability of science/equipment/magic.

That is conditional on spilling. With superheated water that's not necessary. That's my point. Superheated water provides a far worse risk profile since it can flash boil on you and delid the container even if you handled the container properly.

One of my sites (https://riddlesbrainteasers.com) has been a wild ride, reaching a peak of $18k/month and down to an average of around $500/month now. Monthly traffic is generally around 300k unique visitors.

Yes, OpenVPN or really any of the standard VPN protocols are blocked. But this has been the case for a long time before the "new" regulation was introduced.

My point was more that everyone was already using a VPN that wasn't blocked, and that didn't change. (I guess they bribe the government or have an agreement to monitor traffic, or else they are not big enough to care about.)
