> I've hit a couple of joint issues going to the gym that compromise my ability to do certain exercises. In the last 5 years I've hit some knee problems when running

The running and lifting communities do an ok job giving people basic safety training, but the way people do these repetitive motions over and over and over for years without variation will frequently lead to injuries in the long term. It's still a net gain for health, but there's something about just the intention to be "a runner" or "a lifter" that sets you on a path to injury.

The alternative is movement practices that span a much wider range of motions. Tai Chi is a good example. Yoga probably is not, based on the way your average teacher will teach it (goal-oriented, fast, and repetitive).

But really if you want to limit your exposure to injury, you need to learn to be active all day long, to find exercise and resistance in everything you do, learn to read which activities your body needs more of, and go seek them out, and learn how to heal from things you're doing too much of.

Runners World can't really advise you on that because if it's not running it's not really on topic.
Yeah, that was a little too subtle. I had to check it a few times before I realized they weren't talking about hydrazine (toxic, probably carcinogenic if it doesn't kill you right away, and definitely not something you want putting around on public roads).

If I were their marketing, I'd pick something else, fast. Something a good hamming-distance away from anything requiring special suits for handling, and that doesn't include steps in release protocols like "evacuate nearby towns".

In regards to the second experiment, isn't that kind of an obvious result? You take a painkiller, so the white noise causes you less pain, so you think that other people in the study are in less pain, which makes you seem less empathetic?
I would argue that drowning is likely a pretty important form of selective pressure in the evolution of these animals. Marine mammals that are able to avoid predation and hunt for extended periods without surfacing would outcompete peers who lack those abilities. It's not hard to imagine incrementally larger lung capacities and incrementally better CO2 tolerances happening over millions of years and arriving at the current state.
ParaView would be a possibility. Many tools can export VTK files for it.

Sometimes those anecdotes are actually pretty revealing.
It actually puts compute power in perspective for me quite nicely, as GigaHashes per second (GH/s) is the most common metric in mining pools. My core i5 laptop gets around 10MH/s. A gaming desktop with GTX1050 pushes above 100MH/s.

Compare that to a state-of-the-art Antminer at ~11Th/s using 1.1kW. Estimating a large pool size of ~250 Ph/s. And the Alto's rough payout calculation of about a billionth of a penny for 2017 looks right!

Any chance ethereum and zcash mining are up next for that poor old Alto that just wants to retire and dream of electric sheep?
You're reading too far into it (and "muhfuhka" is just Reddit-posting).

Parent post was surprised that Obama did not legalize drugs. Presumably due to binary thinking ("correct" politician does "correct" thing, etc). But even in a two-party system, "correct" does not equal "perfect". It's dangerous to presume that a politician's beliefs and actions will always line up with your preference, just because he or she is not with the other party that you oppose.

That is all. It is not even remotely a statement that all politicians and parties are equivalent. My sentence that he quoted from explicitly says the opposite, for pete's sake. You guys are just venting.

In case there are any Non-Americans here wondering what Acetaminophen is, it's Paracetamol.
Wow, they're hamstrung:

> HHS determined that marijuana has a “high potential for abuse” and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States,” leading the DEA to reject the petition in 2011. The petition was filed nearly a decade earlier, in 2002.

So based on a request from 2002, they decided in 2011 not to act, which continues to restrict research, which makes it harder to get evidence to support a new petition...

Sometimes you gotta just love government's ability to tie itself in knots.
Word does its own mathematical typesetting with a GUI, but it also lets you use some LaTeX-like formatting if you want. 5\cdot2=10 will give you exactly what you typed, but if you hit space after the cdot, you'll get the centered dot symbol. Notably, it uses parens instead of braces, so you'll want to do \sqrt(2x+1).

Most annoyingly to me, \frac and other commands not directly associated with a symbol do not seem to be supported. That said, it's still extremely useful for my narrow use case (high school teacher semifluent in TeX with colleagues who are not).

edit: Also, it supports more symbols than its GUI provides; the only way to get the arc symbol that Geometry teachers like is to use \overparen.

From wiki:

"Both acetaminophen and paracetamol come from a chemical name for the compound: para-acetylaminophenol and para-acetylaminophenol."

The former is the name used by the United States Adopted Name (USAN) while the latter is the (International Nonproprietary Name (INN) one.
Just check whether a variable is a string. There are many options for various flavours of OOP. IMHO it's the very foundation as an array/vector oriented language that's wrong.
There are countries where it is common to hire without having wage negotiations.

For me, the real discovery (from the showcase) is bookdown: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/

It's a tool that creates ebooks from a bunch of Markdown files. I'll certainly evaluate it for my next book or documentation project.
I switched from OSX to Linux specifically for i3. Linux is still a pretty annoying OS with lots of little to even big problems like NetworkManager flaking out, suspend/resume being flaky, trackpad annoyances, etc. But despite all of that, I still use Linux because i3 is that damn good. i3 has fundamentally made computing more enjoyable, and enables me to stay "in the flow" much more.
This may be a cultural thing, but inviting someone to go to church would be at least astonishing in France (and the rest of Europe). This is just not the place you go for a date.

There could be some circumstances where this is possible ("hey, my church has its annual fiesta, plenty of people dressed up in a traditional way - you know, the famous one! Wanna come see that?", or a marriage/baptem/other family / friends gathering) but this is not the first place which come to mind when thinking about dates.
There's probably a tighter labour market for physicians, yet no one claims we should de-regulate their standards of professional practice. And, while morality and competency may not be correlated, ethics and quality certainly are. Codes of practice invariably include clauses around providing quality work, guarding the best interests of your client, avoiding conflicts of interest, obeying pertinent regulations and laws, etc. And it need not be the entire profession: in Engineering, technicians and technologists often do much of the work, but the product cannot ship without an Engineer (who is governed by a code of practice and faces a variety of sanctions for violating it) signing off on it. Simply adding that sort of requirement for public contracts, FCC sign off, etc. would go a long way to enforcing a code. Advancement beyond a certain level would require that you meet the training and experience standards of the profession. Again, we already do this with lots of professions (including Software Engineering in some jurisdictions)---pretending that it somehow couldn't be done for developers needs better evidence than anything I've yet seen. Of course you can always buy cheaper products from non-professionals. You can do that with medicine and product safety already. And you get precisely what you pay for.
This isn't really helpful because the vast majority of OSX apps do not use X11.

I think you have mostly learned all that you can, and you are wasting your time at that company, particulay as an intern. Depending on what you have planned afterwords, I'd probably just leave for another opportunity ASAP. Somebody already questioned the idea of them giving you a good reference, I wouldn't count on it and wouldn't waste anymore time.
Presumably a large amount of his net worth is tied up in this company. So of course he doesn't want to take it down.
Aren't you doing the same though? Calling him the best PM India ever got is one thing, calling him best PM in the planet is, as you put it, "a very bad idea".

You do not have any information about PM from other countries, besides what you read in news.
The point being made here is heavily obfuscated to my eye due to the seemingly needless use of std::invoke when working with the lambda cases (which, even if useful for some reason, is not needed to make the point of this article), but when I finally figured out what is being requested all I could think of is "that functionality of std::bind is horrific and surprising and despite going into this article thinking that of course bind solves a slightly different problem to lambdas in a more readable way, you have now convinced me that std::bind should be deprecated ASAP" (though as it came into existence in the same version of C++ as lambda functions, I mostly end up questioning why it ever existed).

Essentially, in order to provide something that sort of feels like lambda functions, but entirely in templates, the placeholder arguments do not end up locked to a single expression--instead of returning something semantically like a function, std::bind returns something that might be better described as a partial syntax tree that happens to be something you can call as a function, at which point it is only then wrapped up as a function and all subexpression parameters are bound to arguments--and so if you bind something and include in it a bound function, that function is not passed as a value like you would expect: its parameter is hoisted and it becomes a call expression in the new bound composite. The author likes this behavior for some reason, but I can't figure out why it would ever be considered to be a feature and it is trivially simulated with lambdas (while the opposite is not true).
Well, the internet is also under attack from various actors seeing to distort the narrative for their own means. Tons of planted comments and highly questionable "news" websites".

Traditional media had similar problems, but to a much lesser extend... and the biases/propaganda were much more obvious.

That's an interesting comparison with microprocessor ALU operations. (6502 is similar to Intel but doesn't have add/subtract without carry.)

Note that the Nova uses two additional instruction bits for the carry. Thus, the Intel instruction sets use two of the 8 opcodes for add with carry and subtract with borrow/carry, but the Nova doesn't. So it should be easier for the Nova to fit in additional useful ALU instructions. (Not to mention the Nova has 16-bit instructions.)
Seems like a decent tradeoff. The extra weight would reduce the range, but the gained tank space might make that ok?

A couple potential causes:

Increasing incidence of morbid obesity, HTN, type II diabetes, which are risk factors for strokes.

Increased incidence of IV drug abuse, which sometimes leads to endocarditis, leading to septic emboli (I see this very often).
The economy grows faster than a fixed money supply. I believe going back to a brenton-woods-like system is far from ideal.

Not at all. I'm just positing that to interact with someone means risking social interaction that you don't want – serial harassment, for example. The only surefire way to never be securely harassed is to never talk to anyone.

You shouldn't do that, of course. But one-on-one meetings are extremely useful in many lines of work, and are also a time when you're likely to be accosted. This whole article is about how a ridiculous fraction of people polled think co-ed one-on-one meetings aren't kosher.

> Say you are building a site that will make use of very heavy JS code, to the point that the code is critical to your business and you do not want it copied or stolen. How do you protect it? Can you protect it?

There are countless obfuscation tools out there, but in the end if someone wants your code, they can reverse it into more readable code and steal it, using it on their website/webapp. It's the way browser engines are designed that ensures this. JavaScript is there for the taking and is not compiled into machine code. It's interpreted. So no, you can't protect it. No matter how much you abuse the eval() function or mangle the code[1]

I saw a documentary on how Britain deported the island's natives. It was pretty sick. They killed all their dogs, then told them, get on this boat or you're next.

After many years, what was left of the islanders won a court case against Britain who then turned around and said, good luck trying to get to your island in one piece. They continue to rent the island to the US.

It almost feels like our politicians secretly are determined to make U.S into a third world country. Bad transportation, bad education, bad healthcare, bad governance. System is built to prevent basic progress. Even the rich states like California, NY, NJ have major transportation issues. Will it be a surprise to anyone if we end up at the bottom in 10 years from now. Sure we have Google, Microsoft and Apple but can't evn get to office on time, can't afford good healthcare.
> I'm tired of my country increasingly acting like an empire of force when that goes against everything I was taught we should stand for.

What surprises me everytime I interact with Americans is their naivety in their assumption that the leaders / politicians are any different or even better than those from any other country. Their belief that somehow these people who fight tremendous odds (almost certainly not ethically) to get to where they are, managed to do this while being true to any kind of moral compass.

For that sort of thing to be true would necessitate that Americans be essentially different than other humans.

IOW, I am surprised that Americans do not realise that the only difference between POTUS and Kim Jong Un or Saddam or... Is what they can reasonably get away with doing.
The Living Computer museum provides logins to several old pieces of hardware. I wonder how many people are going to request logins to the PDP-11 to try to build the C compiler?
Weird, I've never heard this either and I grew up in Michigan (not quite "positive anymore" territory according to Wikipedia, but certainly in the neighborhood).

If I understand etherium and zcash mining, they use algorithms designed to require a lot of RAM so it is ASIC-resistant. (I.e. they want mining to be practical on a PC, not requiring custom hardware.)

Unfortunately for the Alto, the gigabytes of data required for mining won't fit into the 512kB memory. Even swapping to the hard disk won't work, since that only holds 2.5MB. Thus, while Bitcoin would have been possible in the 1970s, etherium and zcash wouldn't have been.

> the only thing that changed in Python 3 was that they renamed the long type to int

Python 2.x had two types: int and long. Transitions from int to long were pretty seamless and the two types were somewhat compatible. This is not unification: there were still two separate types.

Python 3 has one type called int that functions mostly like long. You can sort of say (I guess) that "long was renamed to int", but only if you say "and int was removed": really, the types were unified.
Diego Garcia is a very strategic place. If the US/UK were to leave, who would take it over? Most likely the Chinese would move in. There's no really good answer there.

The EU taking the stance that they are taking is really kind of counterproductive. They know nothing is going to come of it and they waste an opportunity for reproachment with the UK. They also just make the brexit case even stronger, confirming what many say about the euros not really having the best interests of the UK (or even themselves) in mind in many instances.

That's neat art on here, but might be you should at least add link to github on website. Also I unsure whatever one can actually apply free license on reverse engineered code, but at least some licensing information would be expected.

One question, why wasn't it built on top of Free Heroes 2? Though I suppose for the same reasons why some people preferred to work on ERA / WoG / HotA instead of rewriting engine from scratch.
An example from the article:

auto f1 = std::bind(f, 2, n, _1);

f1(10); // calls f(2, 5, 10);

auto l1 = [ p1 = 2, p2 = n ](auto _1) { return std::invoke(f, p1, p2, _1); };

l1(10);

It seems to me std::bind is a lot cleaner syntactically.
Yeah, I wish there was more real talk about this too. I can certainly imagine that new technologies could turn a graph that's levelling off into a hockey stick. I think those are interesting theories.

But there's no evidence that will happen. I can imagine being headed towards 150-year lifespans, there's just no evidence we're on that track right now.
