Bret Victor has a page on his site about this.[0] The first hit when I searched for "visualization" was:

"The core technologies in energy storage tend to be physics-based, but software plays essential roles in the form of design tools, simulation tools, and control systems. My favorite example is the inexplicably gorgeous Materials Project, a database and visualization tool for material properties, funded by the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Program to help invent better batteries."

It's a lengthy page with lots of good ideas, and seeds that might germinate more ideas of your own.

Are you by chance in that industry somehow? I'm (as a designer) with an organization that's looking to break into this very kind of niche - it's almost the other end of the problem ironically; we have plenty of resources, but very little insight in how it should be applied. Are there .pdf examples online that you would point to as a good base? Would you say the content needs to be different for parents vs teachers, and if so, what would most helpful for each?

(Thanks for the comment!)
My intent is not to minimize it. I think that assuming that the problem is one person being a major psychological outlier is actually an unhelpful shortcut to solving the problem in a more thorough and lasting way.

The problem is not one bad apple, the core problem is deeper and more cultural and has to do with status dynamics and boundaries.
ccTLDs are pretty much the most sensible thing in DNS hierarchy. The "original" TLDs (.com, .net, .org etc) had mostly lost their meaning by late 90s (iirc), and were heavily biased towards the US anyways and as such would have made far more sense as second-level domains for .us, where enforcing the separation could have at least hypothetically worked in some reasonable way.

Agreed on the scam. The way to handle this is to not pay, and send a letter claiming that you don't owe it. If they send it to collections you can sue for collecting a debt not owed. If a collector contacts you about debts they know or should have known are disputed then you can also collect statutory damages from those people. If they report to credit rating agencies, and you dispute the facts with them and they take more than a month to resolve the issue you can also sue those agencies, and you have fresh grounds for suing the debt collector as well. You may be awarded treble damages!

This is an amusing pastime if you can afford temporary depressions in your credit score.
What about them? They'll live longer automatically, that's one incentive.

Every state should probably require every food related corporation to be a benefit corporation, with clear phrasing that an equal motive to profit for that business is incentivizing customers to eat healthy. If the incentive is just profit, you get crazy things like government subsidized sugar farmers and boner pill pharma.
It seems like the more paleo/crossfit "celebrities" contradict popular nutrition/exercise science, the more popular they get. I don't get it. The most influential figure in this space was probably Dr. Robert Atkins, who suffered multiple heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and hypertension. Why are people espousing the same junk science to be seen as credible sources?

One drastic change would be to abandon capitalism and the idea of growth. Instead, we should be focusing on sustainability which is completely at odds with capitalism.

We need to start making products that are designed to last a long time as opposed to them having been built for planned obsolescence. We need to start abandoning throw away things like plastic containers. For example, Coca-Cola produces a staggering 100 billion disposalbe plastic bottles http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/coca-cola-pl... a year. We have to start moving heavy industry off fossils. We have to move away from combustion engines, and need to abandon cars in general.

The reality of the situation is that most contribution to climate change comes from industrial sources and not individuals.

A 100 companies are responsible for over 70% of all emissions. That's what would need to change, and that's just not going to happen in time. https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10...

Rust doesn't compile very quickly at the moment. Helpfully, there's a live thread about the matter on r/rust [1]. Broadly speaking, it's about the same as C++. Some aspects are faster, some slower. Points worth noting (from that thread and elsewhere):

* Everything up to and including typechecking (and borrowchecking) takes a third to a half of the time, with lowering from there to a binary taking the rest of the time; that means (a) you can get a 2-3x speedup if you only need to check the code is compilable, and (b) overall speed isn't likely to improve a lot unless LLVM gets a lot faster.

* Rust doesn't currently do good incremental compilation, so there are potential big wins for day-to-day use there.

* There is a mad plan to do debug builds (unoptimised, fast, for minute-to-minute development) using a different compiler backend, Cretonne [2]. If that ever happens, it could be much, much faster.

At a fundamental level, the important question is "what do I need to be okay with my life?" If you don't know what you need, it's extraordinarily difficult to figure out how to get it.

For me, it's enough money to not have to worry about finances, a tolerable working environment, a few meaningful relationships, and a couple avenues for giving back to my community in a concrete manner. I don't have nearly the competitive focus that you do, and it definitely sounds like you need an outlet for it. Speed-running super mario 64 could be a good option if you want the status points. Or if you're secure enough financially to fail at it full-time, getting into sales would be fantastic for you.
It's easy to flip this argument.

You're not subsidizing that company. The company is subsidizing welfare. A person making at least some money requires less money in form of social transfers.

In the end, is it better to subsidize that person's wages or have them become completely unemployable? This is not a leading question. Perhaps it would be better to just pay them to be a parent but it's not obvious to me.

seems like if there's a limit to the number of files the client can handle, the client should warn you as you're approaching that limit, and ideally block you from adding too many.

If the client allows you do do something, and you do it, and it causes the client to break, that is 100% a "failure"

I see this perspective from people who are on non-bathing routines frequently (some people don't bathe with soap for perceived health reasons, etc).

Odor developed from more than two days of failing to bathe with soap is apparent to all but the most extremely smell-impaired (there are some people who can smell very little or nothing). Wearing deodorant themselves makes people drastically more sensitive to others' body odor.

The only plausible explanation for the stylist's vacation-plans conversation is that he or she was doing their best to treat you respectfully, tolerating the odor.

As far as "should society impose body odor norms on everyone?", I am unsure. It is likely if we all stopped using deodorant, we would tolerate body odor much more. However, you are stuck in this reality, where people in confined spaces are expected to wash with soap and apply deodorant on a regular basis. I assure you that almost everyone can detect body odor. It's not voluntary; it is a large amount of input to their nose.
IANA allows delegation of country-code TLDs for all countries and territories represented in the ISO 3166-1 standard.

The thing to bear in mind is this standard is used for a number of different purposes historically that has informed territories and other "non"-countries being added.

For example, it is used by postal services for routing physical mail. A lot of far flung island dependencies are coded individually because their mail wouldn't route through their mother country but through other ports.

The addition of "EU", while not a country, reflected the needs of the "EUR" currency code when the Euro was introduced (the first two letters of ISO 4217 currency codes are derived from the ISO 3166-1 standard).
I don't think it matters whether it's implemented by the hypervisor or the unikernel since it's all open source. But for compatibility with existing hypervisors/clouds one could imagine a boot loader that loads the main unikernel at a random address, sets up page tables with NX, and then makes a one-way transition to ring 3 so that the page tables cannot be modified.

It's nice that practicing willpower improves willpower, even across activities.

But that doesn't suggest that's the best way to do it generally, or that running in particular is an effective or efficient way to do it.

> There’s a big downside though in that landing patches to Rust is serialized on running the test suite on every patch, and it takes a particularly long time to Run the Rust test suite in all the configurations we care about.

One solution is speculative batched testing. Kubernetes uses this to keep up with its very high rate of PRs (>40 merges/day) and ~1hr maximum test times.

Given a queue of patches A, B, C, D, start the normal testing against A, but also start testing the merge of A+B+C+D against the master. If the batch passes first, merge them all. If A is merged first, it's still "compatible" with A+B+C+D, so they can go ahead. Doing a batch in parallel with a single PR like this slightly increases testing load, but ideally doesn't cause any slowdowns versus the fully serialized case.

It looks like bors already supports something like this with "rollups", where simple fixes can be marked for testing together: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/batched-merge-rollup-featu...

>And now there are down votes and all kinds of assumptions about me and what I intended. I don't know why that is.

FWIW, I'll try to explain my reading: I didn't read "I have a long history of close relationships" as a riposte to "Sounds like you have a problem with planning making friends", because it didn't seem to me like a direct contradiction. One can have relatively long close relationships without planning to have them. In fact in that context it kind of sounded to me more like "Well I have real friends, not planned ones".

So then I read "talking to someone for 45mins isn't a big deal" as reasoning for the objection to planning (i.e. "don't plan, just talk to people") rather than a contradiction ("45mins isn't long enough to form a friendship").
I was just venting... and you provided a great answer to my rhetorical question - which I found very interesting by the way.

I saw Interstellar on a beautiful IMAX screen. There were a couple of teenage boys laughing and cracking jokes behind me most of the movie. Not loud enough you'd kick them out, but still obnoxious, especially in the quiet scenes. They apologized when I said something, but then they started again after 10 minutes.

During Rogue One, the guy sitting next to me waited until the end of the opening crawl to unwrap his steaming jalapeño cheese hotdog, which he then slowly ate over the next 15 minutes, relishing every bite and every chug of soda.

Add to the fact that the acoustics in theaters are still never quite right (it's often LOUD but doesn't envelop you)...

I just don't know why I would ever enjoy the theater experience again, when it's just so damn difficult to enjoy a good film.

Yeah, waiting a few months to get an MRI if your condition isn't serious isn't uncommon. Diagnostics like that tend to be the longest wait times -- actually getting surgery after a diagnosis is pretty quick.

On the other hand, my experience with the US is that the service is great. They'll even send you for unnecessary tests just because. And it's all pretty fast. But then you have so many people who get nothing at all. And then many of those who do get something are totally bankrupt.

There is no system that can give anyone health care and not have a triage system. So you might have to give up some comfort so your neighbors can live.
City Planning software is something I've been humming over a lot and for a long time. It's a perfect problem for computation with statistics - figure out practical actionable things for cities to do when optimising for things like walkability, public transit available, available storefront-rentals, et cetera. The world is catching up on the western nations, and the millions of cities joining the global middle class can be billions of dollars more efficient. A true way to better the world. The computational parts are doable (I'll be tech cofounder if required - not a visual artist though) but how is it best used?

Cool! There's definitely a need for something like this. I played competitive Counter-Strike in my youth, and one thing that no one has successfully replaced was the vibrancy and engagement of the irc communities of the time.

Griping: Massively unimpressed with the presentation and branding. Gaming has a ton of work to do to be considered a generally accessible and comfortable place for people of all form. In your hero image, two of your images show toxic commenting by people in the team channels and much of the wordage comes across brusque-y.

... "So tired of laning with bads"...

... "Map talk mittengard is terrible"...

... "Why do you want to join Rage Force?"...

... "You decide who makes the cut"... "Talent on the market"...

Look at Discord for an example of capturing the fun, whimsical spirit of gaming and exploration.

Guilded appears dark and intimidating. I am not at all encouraged to explore and my desire for play is far from stoked. In fact, this is the kind of energy that has sent me packing to the quiet confines of single-player gaming.

Although I prefer the local storage option, I do agree with the premise that most people don't back up their stuff properly and a cloud based storage should be, in theory, better for the average person. And having worked directly with the 1Password vaults on Mac OS and creating a library to read the data, as well as knowing that security experts have reviewed the white paper and trust it, I trust that it's secure. I also trust that 1Password, unlike something like LastPass, doesn't seem to have many exploits, and unlike other kinds of password managers, does sync to my phone and have a direct integration with Safari and a few other apps, which is really useful.

So, trusting the team behind 1Password's security, is there anything wrong with this beyond now there is a subscription rather than a one time fee, or is this just Vice's normal MO of being edgy, and taking a relatively insignificant controversy and making it something more than it is?

Also, am I wrong in assuming that the "local vault" isn't going away, and the only difference is now the subscription model and that they are syncing with their own servers rather than Dropbox or iCloud?

Anything that "blunts" war or portrays it as anything besides "the worst living nightmare possible" is a lie. There of course is wonderful art to be made that acknowledges that fact - Guernica, Saving Private Ryan, The Hurt Locker - but to me, it's critical to acknowledge this. The extras who are casually shot in action scenes aren't extras in the real world, it's an act of actual murder that is abhorrent in the real world.

One of humanities great moments happened after WW2, or maybe Vietnam: the realization that war is not noble, that "pro patria mori" is bullshit, and that no one really wins. Our media must reflect this fact, even if it seems to have lost touch with reality everywhere else. It's critical to the discourse and to our continued survival.

Money quotes:

"This is a known valgrind false positive and Rust already has a lot of suppressions for it. It's reported upstream on the LLVM bug tracker but is not really an LLVM issue, just a limitation of valgrind. LLVM is allowed to generate undefined reads if it can not change the program behavior."

[...]

"Just for the record, the undefined read doesn't change the behaviour because it's just a check whether free should not be called, i.e. either it jumps over the free call right away, or it performs the second check."
"Responsible disclosure" is a coercive term. It implies that it's irresponsible to do anything else. "Coordinated disclosure" is far better.

That said, coordinated disclosure is the neighborly thing to do, but it's by no means a moral obligation. It would be perfectly fine for the author to tweet about it, for example.
There's a significant distinction between racing at the limits of your physiology and the limits of your commitment to the sport and your training going into the race.
