Exactly right. For at least some of the 99% of startups that are not VC-backed, it can be the constant struggle between working /on/ the business and working /in/ the business, when resources are limited. That can mean a CTO deep in the code on a daily basis, or even the CEO taking a project from time to time. When you're small and broke, you just get what needs to be done, done, regardless of titles.

imo this isn't so much an Office problem as a general Centennial problem.

Odd, never thought of the distributed implementations as normalized or not, though that's exactly what the underlying design is about. Thanks! You must design at a minimum a normalized way to store data reference keys, but the prevalence of SQL makes me implicitly associate 'normalization' only with SQL. It's also good to note that adding in vector clocks / revision keys lets you store denormalized data (e.g. Caching with staleness detection) in various data stores as long as the parent id and revision keys are normalized somewhere.

Are the ER-20xs a significant step up from the ER-20s?

I used to wear ER-20s and they were fine. Alpine MusicSafe Pro were good too. Both comfortable, and did they job.

Alpine PartyPlugs didn't sounds as good to me, but they were more discrete so great for house parties and stuff.

I switched to Ear Peace HD's about a year ago.

Ear Peace are mentioned below the article. I don't know if it was sponsored. I'm certainly not sponsored by them.

I love EDM, DnB especially, but I'm a mosher at heart. The EPHD's don't hurt as much if an errant crowd-surfer happens to smack into my ear.

The EPHD's are even less noticeable than the Alpine PartyPlugs too.

I started wearing earplugs when I started working with VoIP systems a decade and a half ago. I'd be going to a few metal gigs a month and it was always painfully loud. I'd have ringing in the ears after every gig, and I'd sleep badly and feel almost hungover the next morning.

I have similarly sensitive hearing to the lady in the article, even restaurants and cinemas will cause me to pop my earplugs in. I keep a set attached to my keys. (The EPHD's come with a black metal tube keyring case.)

I couldn't go back to not wearing earplugs. If anything, they made gigs sound better to me.

@krasin The LLVM IR assembly language does change with a rather high rate. Not too often to be unfeasible, but an external project definitely needs to make sure it can keep up with maintenance to remain useful. Since the llir/llvm project started back in 2014, the LLVM IR assembly language has had one major change, and that is the new metadata syntax introduced in LLVM 3.6.

To facilitate maintenance efforts over time, a BNF grammar for LLVM IR assembly has been written, from which the lexer and parser are generated [1,2,3]. The intention is for this BNF grammar to eventually become the basis or starting ground for an official BNF grammar of the LLVM IR assembly language (but that's a different project altogether, and a huge effort in itself).

Hi, thank you for responding. I too commented against my better judgement.

I was curious whether you had a working definition of "criminal record". For example, perhaps you reasonably exclude "petty misdemeanors", a category of offenses which is not punishable by jail time in Minnesota; many traffic offenses fall under that category in the state. However, as mentioned, Castile's record goes beyond petty misdemeanors. As part of my research into the topic, I found that the New York Times is not willing to say "no criminal record", presumably because they believe it is false.

"Law-abiding" includes more than just convictions. For example, I was curious whether your definition excluded drug offenses, as the use and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law in the United States. (Possession of sufficiently large amounts remains a felony in Minnesota as well.)

Instead my clarifying question was called "shitty demeaning racist trolling". Besides being unproductive, I believe your comment violates the site guidelines.

I encourage you to assume good faith in your fellow commenters. I in fact support the criminal punishment of officer Yanez in this case, and my judgement suggests that the outcome of the jury trial is unjust. However, I am strongly opposed to attitudes and comments such as your own, which I feel make sincere discussion of facts impossible. I hope that you come to agree on some of these meta points.

Why is your thinking so binary? (Also, false dichotomy fallacy.) Have you been so brainwashed by the all-consuming institution that you have become blind to any other option? I have no issues with commitment, just this institution and its unreasonable expectations of lifetime commitment or else. Especially makes less sense if you don't have kids.
2 things you're missing:

1) The majority of what got people riled up about Snowden's revelations was that the US government was spying ON THEIR OWN CITIZENS.

In places like China and Russia nobody batted an eye because the expectation is obviously the government already does that.

Call it naive, but the majority of the US population believed (and still believes) that their government is above that. That regardless of whatever questionable evil the US military conducts abroad in the name of "democracy", domestically people have freedom and liberty. Sure, the post 9/11 world eroded it somewhat, but GENERALLY there is still the concept of privacy.

Snowden shattered this fantasy. Everyone is being watched. All those conspiracy whackjobs, all the hollywood "worst nightmares" turned out to be true.

That the government was doing this, and that it reacted to the leaks with extreme prejudice and desire to treat Snowden like a traitor rather than a patriot is what led to people considering him a hero.

I could go deeper into the other arguments like "I have nothing to hide so why should I care that the government is monitoring what I'm saying", but I'd like to know more about your stance first. Do you think that the domestic surveillance is justified for the greater good of international security? Or do you simply believe that it's obvious and expected of the government to take on this role, and fighting it is ridiculous.

It was pretty easy to use 8080 peripheral chips with the 8086 and some very few clones did just that. IBM itself had to deal with the problem on the PC AT which had the same i/o chips but a 286 processor. It needed to replicate externally the circuit that the 8088 had internally due to the need to be compatible with the old 8 bit cards as well as the new ISA ones.

The 68000 would have been more of a problem since it moved from the matched memory and clock cycle scheme of the 6800 to a four clock cycle scheme with a complicated handshake. A special memory mode and two extra pins made it talk just fine to the 8 bit i/o chips. There was no need to wait for the 68008 for that.

One huge mistake that was made in the 8088 and 68008 (and I will suppose the TMS9980 as well, though I haven't checked) was that they didn't have a simple way to take advantage of page mode access in DRAMs like the original ARM did. If they had, the gap in performance compared to the 16 bit bus models would have been smaller.

Success and comfort often take multiple generations to achieve.

Is that fair? No. But the people and cultures that realize that, and maintain a multi-generational view (rather than looking for comfort in their own life) are much more likely to achieve it.

>I'd love to hear what makes the real thing unique and different!

There is no one unique kind of chai. (Lots of things are less standardized in Indian than, say, some Western countries, like in Europe and the US - though I know there are a lot of variations there too).

A few common ways of making chai that I have seen and had and done myself:

- boil equal amounts of water and milk together, so about 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water per person

- some people add the tea leaves [1] (around 1 teaspoon per person, and in English style, one "for the pot" :) before boiling the milk-water mixture, others add it at the end, after the liquid comes to a boil. Depending on strength of tea wanted, people either take it off the gas immediately, and maybe let it steep for a while, to get a bit stronger, or let it boil or simmer for a bit.

[1] Dust tea is sometimes used instead of leaf tea, but I don't prefer that, though it is cheaper - it tends to make the tea too strong. Can't control the strength as easily, IMO.

Spices (like many others have said in this thread), like pre-made chai masala (not so good an option), or individual fresh spices (common ones are cloves, cardamom and cinnamon, ginger too) can be added while the liquid is heating. The ginger is crushed on a flat stone or using a mortar and pestle to bring out its flavor and juice, before adding it, otherwise it doesn't work.

- Black tea is always used for chai, not green tea.

- Indians mostly (as far as I have seen) drink tea only with milk (made the way I said above, or some variant), not black tea (made with water only), i.e. not the way many Americans drink black coffee.

- Strain using a strainer into cups, add sugar (or add it during the boiling, or no sugar if you wish), and drink it hot. Tall tales while sipping, are optional but allowed.

this is great. at the last stupid hackathon in SF I worked on a font for cats with over 7 million ligatures (every fourth letter, it turns what you just typed into "meow.")[1] it was tricky to figure out how to push ranges and named lookups to the limit, and there doesn't seem to be any getting around the speed issue, but there's a lot of underlying font tech to have fun with :)

I disagree with this. Having diagnosed a number of problems in nominally 'autonomous' robots through the use of video. There are also instances of many issues being diagnosed by video, consider the loss of protection tiles on Columbia which was diagnosed (or at least confirmed) by watching video of the lift-off.

That said, SpaceX has a phenomenal number of video feeds and I really enjoy them. Early in the Falcon 9 project we would see on the web cast a cut to a video shot with no explanation of what it was, but we know now that they were looking a fuel settling and other effects during re-entry.

And yes, given that you can learn a lot from said videos about how it is done, and there is at least one high profile (Blue Origin) and a no doubt a number of low profile efforts on going to duplicate what SpaceX can do, there is some competitive advantage from not sharing all the video they have.

I still want to see them though.

The counter exemple assume that the brain produce thoughts but :

If everything is perfectly causal there is a possibility that there is no such thing.

Another theory is that the brain yo think but is a receiver that gets idea from outside.

Also, the brain may be indispensable for thoughts but maybe not the only component.

I think this is a good example of something that's relatively unlikely to be an issue, even though it sounds scary. Sure someone could potentially inject code into a npm package that would allow them to snoop on anyone who used the package, but it would most likely be discovered very quickly. To hack developers of popular packages is similar to trying to beat up the karate dojo when there's a bank right across the street.

Plus we all know that corporations rarely update their dependencies so therefore, anything you wrote to snoop would be caught before they updated. You'd most likely just get bleeding edge developer's information, which might net you access to Netflix?

That only, at best, gives you the maximum and minimum values, with no knowledge of the actual distribution.

EDIT: Missed the specific request for interval arithmetic part for representation of numbers. Thought that was a proposal for the error propagation (which requires actual distributions and not simple min and max intervals).

Also, frink does not support accurate interval arithmetic for all operations, and reverts to numerically accurate bounds instead (https://frinklang.org/#IntervalArithmeticStatus). I don't know if Mathematica is any better for those.
Why would we, growth has been ticking along nicely for a developed country (apart from a blip in 2008/9 when the financial crisis hit). Also unemployment has been remarkably low over the last couple of years.

The trouble is eventualy that debt needs to be paid off, either through raising taxes or monetisation. Monetisation is bad as it increases inflation. Increasing taxes lowers spending causing smaller economic activity. All we have done is passed a burden off to the next generation.
