Nonsense. Unless you have some kind of disability anyone can run a 100 miler. That is completely true.

You need to get in shape first, obviously, but unless you have a condition that prevents you from doing that, you can do it.

I get the impression you haven't done much distance running, because the article is spot on when he says it's almost exclusively about determination.

#2 just seems like you're being a dick. #3 is unprovable, and #4 is something I rarely hear any serious runner talk about, and it certainly isn't the reason I run at all.
Thanks, this lifted my spirits up a bit :)
This article was useful and concise.

I urge web developers to consider the trade-offs when using CSS hardware acceleration. Properties like `will-change` or `transform3d` substantially increase the client device's energy usage. This has battery-life implications for users on portable devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. As with any other feature, ask "why" before "how" when prioritizing interactive motion in your webapp.

I've been there before/see a lot of my friends in that position.

It really is a matter of not being able to say no and wanting to swoop in and save stuff. It's not good for you. Ultimately, it creates this terrible mentality at the workplace where you're expected by your manager to come in and save things all the time. This also means that your coworkers don't step up to learn more of the stack and troubleshoot, because they know that they will always have you to fall back on.

It might be easier to say no when you reframe things with this perspective. If you never say no, no one else will ever learn, and therefore you will ALWAYS be stuck in this position.
Anything in the public sector, like utilities' and local governments' websites (cough DMV), websites for your local library system, websites for your local law enforcement and/or hospital, public schools. The usability of these sites tends to suck because they're subject to budget cuts, even though thousands of people have no choice but to depend upon them.
That's awesome, I'd love to hear more about your experience with that if you don't mind me shooting you an email later. Thank you.
hundreds of people (elite marathoners, a few ultra marathoners, cross country skiiers)

I'd add elite soldiers to that list, which would take it up to tens of thousands maybe.
Yeah, I've been working on a BCI explainer and this is a critical point. The science isn't even close, either in hardware, software, or even basic brain knowledge.

Of course, it's kind of one of those situations where you need the knowledge to get the knowledge, but we'll break the cycle somehow!

Just a note to those who only look at the chart and don't dig into the details:

''Promises Not to Sell Out Users'' relates to the platform not allowing unfettered access to the API by entities that have designed surveillance software to monitor open sources (i.e. public postings on a site).
Thanks, I'll have a look.

You are right about the equivalence classes: for that you want to talk about the corresponding DFA (which have a unique normal form in the shape of the minimum DFA).

I am not sure about the rest of what you are saying: in general even just minimizing regular expressions is EXP-SPACE complete, if I remember right.

Yes, generation of false negative and false positive ain't so hard---theory agrees with you. But automating the guesser is, as far as I know.
I don't agree that choosing a new format and upping ticket prices again is going to get people going to the movies again. Hollywood (and Hollywood commentators) are obsessed with the idea that films should be these huge spectacles, but is that all that audiences want?

A lot of people I know are bored with movies. Spending $30 to go to another remake or superhero movie just isn't very attractive. I don't know anyone, other than boring film critics, who thinks the problem is a lack of spectacle. If anything, the problem is _too much_ spectacle--the kinds of movies made are limited to these goofy would-be epics. Everything has to go up to 11. It's really limiting when every movie has to appeal to the sensibility of a 14-year-old boy.
Are you passionate enough to work for low pay or free? I would like to build some web apps to display information about pollution and climate change. If we made it good enough, it would be a great tool for everyone around the world to visualize the problem. Obviously I would not make any money - just something that needs to get done if we are to have any hope of convincing the public that we need climate change policy review.

What say you?
So one of the acceptable scenarios is also that you arrive at the bar and it begins to rain... then you take an umbrella even though you didn't deposit one? Is that right?
When I converted from Windows 7 to 10 I noticed that I started getting audio latency/glitches/squelches from my external audio interface- a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. The mouse would also sometimes hang. Doing some basic tests, the problem seemed to be coming from network drivers... but I could never resolve it. I wonder if the author's discovery has anything to do with the issues.

Well, lets just say that there's a variety of levels a desktop environment, and not all of them are immediately obvious to the OS or hardware layers.

The linux kernel is designed to be generic enough to work on wifi routers, phones, laptops, and massive compute clusters. There's some thing you can do, but there's going to be a class of optimizations any general purpose OS must give up on. For example, Windows NT runs a lot of window manager stuff in kernel space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT). Once you pull that in, the scheduler will have a richer dataset work with. But it kinda makes 32MB routers and headless servers less viable. Even Server Core still has a window manager!

Besides the old .org, what better options are there for software projects?
I think this arguably reinforces my point if a company has a process that works yet they complain about a talent shortage.

Part of this complaining can be an attempt to influence/distort government policy, justify a flawed or exploitative hiring process, or managing who to blame when they miss a quota.

I definitely agree that what you said is part of reality for some companies, which is why I think it's important to aggressively point out that there are solutions when the "skill shortage" is brought up.

Additionally, if underpaying younger talent is prevalent, then all the more reason a company should offer competitive salaries to recent graduates when faced with a shortage. They'd start booking some easy wins.
That would mostly mean that only big companies that can afford a herd of lawyers would be able to produce software.

At least that how bank regulation works out in practice.
I wonder if there is a straightforward way to aggregate people's bills to estimate the cost of a procedure (eg appendectomy) at a given hospital. Eg pay people $1 to scan their bill. This would only work for common procedures I suppose.
Half marathons are right at the very limit of depleting your liver glycogen stores(100-200g). Anything beyond that, you better be eating quick carbs during your exercise, or you will start burning fat.
You can use anything with this router (redux too). I agree react router is a nice tool - but in a classic paradigm. The difference is - you don't define routes. If you create a component and it needs a data you just ask the url store for it. Or if you need to persist some data you just write to the store. It creates nice urls - always a name and a value. Additionally you have setters which will handle a serialization of your object to nice string. And of course getters which will wrap your data into a custom object - so it's not a string.
You're probably one of those people who would happily exist as a brain in a jar wired directly to the internet.
Don’t include social engineering in penetration tests
It may be semantics - I think I agree with your statement. The desire to not only know what it takes to be great, but to execute on that has its origins in emotion, at least. There has to be motivation for it as it's obviously not necessary to survive, haha.
Because someone is trying to extrapolate the collapse of those societies with the collapse of our global one due to climate change (and other factors) but that dog won't hunt for a variety of reasons. It's interesting history, though.
Most "IMAX" screens are not what most people think of when they think of IMAX. Rather than 70mm film projected onto multi-story screens, they're just using an IMAX-developed digital projection system and a slightly-larger-than-standard screen. The result can be disappointing if you go in expecting real IMAX and get the inferior mass-market alternative instead.

IMAX deliberately lumps their 70mm system and their digital system together under the "IMAX" brand, without any additional information to help people distinguish between the two. It's hard not to think that this is done intentionally, to use the brand value their large-format system has built up over the years to sell tickets for the comparatively more lackluster digital system.
I highly empathize with this. These days I'm just interested in imagination. I don't care if a book or novel or movie is good. I will most likely never consume it. I'm looking up synopses and scanning them for innovative ideas.
Colorado has this cool law which, as far as I can gather, requires hospitals to report prices for various conditions.

It results in tools like this: https://cha.fhsclearquote.com/ You put in your zip code, how far you want to go, find the condition, and it gives you a list of hospitals, average charge, case volume, and 5th and 95th percentile costs.

I'd love a more nuanced analysis that looked at outcomes, too. Still. It's a great tool for planning purposes ("If I have an emergency, take me to . . . ")
Yeah it took me a long while to learn this.

If you're doing the work and not complaining managers will think you're happy. If you're working overtime to get this done they'll think you're very happy. If you aren't enjoying it you need to tell them. They aren't mind readers.

> Despite an increase in 3-D releases, the box-office market for that particular upcharge is falling as 3-D has gone from being a special experience to a perfunctory feature for every blockbuster.

The problem is the directors using 3D just couldn't resist the overused trope of having an arrow (or spears, in the case of Star Trek: Out of Darkness) fly out of the screen at the audience. I dunno, maybe it was intended as an homage to the old Anaglyph 3-D movies, but it fell flat.
I use GU. They are disgusting and require a lot of mouth rinsing with water from my Camelbak or water bottles. Chocolate Outrage is the worst offender. Banana Strawberry is the closest to pleasant.

And like another person mentioned, it takes some practice to get used to it. A lot of people have trouble digesting anything while running.

I found that just like my legs needed training to withstand a marathon, so did my digestive system need practice to process and retain enough calories. Eating 4000+ calories on a long run day used to be pure torture. But you get used to it.

See, this is exactly why I don't care about IMAX. What difference does a little bit more resolution make, when it's a simple shot with two people talking to each other? How does that benefit from a screen so big that I can hardly see it all without turning my head?

I get that there's a resolution increase, but when was the last time you went to the movies and thought, "This picture just isn't sharp enough"?
There's a general design problem of translating abstract massive problems (like world hunger) into something bite sized that people can relate to and act on (like feed one starving child). Vast problems like climate change, water shortages, human trafficking, drug abuse, systemic poverty, lifelong education, criminal justice. If you can help on this challenge, you can drive change and make a career for yourself.

>There is a Black Mirror episode around that called 'Be right back'.

Well, they were approximations based on people's social media presence, and the episode's conflict mainly came from the imperfection of the approximation. I think you get a very different set of cultural conflicts if the simulation is of an accurate copy of the mind (issues more like in the book Permutation City).
My wife and I want to get a new fridge, but almost everything new out there (consumer-oriented) won't fit into the space our current fridge occupies.

Our house was built in the 1970s, with 8 foot ceilings. Also, in the kitchen area for the fridge, the standard thing was to put a cabinet above the fridge; so we are limited in height. Newer homes have 9 foot or higher ceilings, and recently, new fridges has grown a bit taller. Tall enough, so that while one might fit into our space, it wouldn't have enough clearance around the top to provide proper air circulation for the unit.

So our choices have been limited by what the market wants:

1. Remove the cabinets (which would be really expensive for the small remodelling effort on top of the cost of a new fridge).

2. Get an ugly new fridge (some of the over-unders will fit, but they tend to be much smaller than we want, and have other features missing - though they do tend to be much cheaper).

3. Move to a new house (not a reasonable option at this time).

4. Purchase an older fridge that'll fit.

So right now, we're "nursing" our current side-by-side along; it still runs ok and keeps things cold, but the ice maker no longer works, nor does the water on the door. We've considered getting those fixed, but it would likely cost several hundred dollars, and the fridge is closing in on 20 years old anyway.

One other option we're considering is going with a commercial unit; unfortunately, from what we've researched, such units are not sized properly at all for a consumer kitchen (too deep, too tall, too narrow, or too wide).

So our only real option is #4 - unless we want to spend a big chunk of change in one manner or another.
Getting into Business School: Career Goals Matter
Clif Shots are quite nice
Interviewing requires a lot of experience and you have to be extremely humble. You may fail at capturing excellent candidates in only 30 minutes based off your own judgement. The more curious and patient you are, the better. In the scenario you've described, flagging the candidate means you didn't get the exact answer you were expecting after you asked a question, which is a terrible judgement. The red flag should be on the interviewer side.

Your role as an interviewer is to extract the information out of a candidate, otherwise we'd be using programs to do that for us because it's not just a 'yes' or 'no' answer. What I would do if I were you is to ask a follow up question - "I'm actually interested in learning more about that deep learning piece you mentioned, could you elaborate more on that, for example, is it using xyz technique or abc?". If the candidate can't answer your follow up question then follow up with "do you have experience in deep learning?". Only then, you'll get an accurate answer to your question. There's no guessing nor red flagging. If it's a yes then dig more until you get to understand the level of exposure to deep learning for this candidate. As you can tell, it involves 2 things from you: 1. be on top of deep learning if it's a requirement for this role, 2. being curious and ready to triple check your judgement. It's not a "I know, you don't know" type of situations, it's about trying to understand the level of a candidate within certain topics, while pushing the conversion in the right direction. That is your role as an interviewer.

Last but not least, it's totally fine if the answer you get is "I don't know anything about this topic". Try to find out if the candidate would be willing to learn deep learning and the reason why he/she would be interested in learning that. You may not have a deep learning expert in front of you, but maybe this person has the potential to become the next DL guru based on other things that could highlight excellent problem solving. You have to bridge the gaps as an interviewer by staying positive until the end - I'm sure this candidate has something to offer, let's try to find out what is that super power!

This is a problem with the design of the system. "Using the computer" just so you can be inside in the air conditioning is definitely not how those resources were intended to be used. The problem is that it's impossible to practically police this behavior individually, but easy to detect in aggregate. If the homeless person just sits around in the library doing nothing, they're loitering, but because they're sitting at a computer eating up a resource, it's not loitering. I certainly don't mean to assume a homeless person wouldn't have a legit reason to use the library computers. That's why I noted the difference between policing an individual is impossible, but seeing the trend in aggregate is easy.

It is really nice, that the .de domain is seen more as infrastructure than some business. But there are a few downsides to DENIC as well.

1. you need to have a person (juridicial or natural) with an address in Germany to register and list that person as ADMIN-C

2. if you run a website that provide contents which COULD generate revenue, you have to have an Impressum [1] which includes the address, names, etc. of the website owner.

This is pretty annoying if you are sensitive about privacy and do not want your details out in the open.

Fair enough, but at the same time when you start getting to the level where they don't know about the details they need to start trusting the people below them to make decisions and take their advice. Far too often you see technically incompetent CEOs making far reaching decrees about technical issues they know nothing about because of some random brain fart they overheard on the golf course with one of their buddies.
Indiana, and other states, have programs that will pay for your medical degree provided you go to an in-state institution and work with the under served. Now the definition of under served, just means people with not enough doctors per capita. In the case of Indiana, this includes large portions of the inner-circle of Indianapolis. So you could work with a 30-45 minute commute inside the circle (465) and go home to lovely Carmel Indiana. You'd have access to a diverse cultural center and no loans.

While it doesn't help your wife, this information can help readers that either want to go into medicine themselves, or have family members seeking such employment.

The only movies I've seen that do 3-D "right" have been Avatar and Dredd. The former because the technology was built around the film, and it was presented in this subtle way that created an extraordinary depth without feeling cheesy or tacked on.

The latter because they really did some cool effects with the "Slo-Mo" drug that didn't have the same impact in 2-D.

But aside from those, it just feels like a way to charge more for a less-enjoyable experience (films that are too dark, potential headaches, uncomfortable glasses).

That's part of the reason I ended up switching away from HD. It was a ton of work to get estimates, and there was such a delay if there were multiple invoices from different providers with my deductible that I ended up having to pay several thousand over my deductible and wait to be refunded after everything had processed through the system.
