That is not an unsubscribe link. Unsub links remove you from the list without having to log in

One of my more annoying frequent inbox flyers is a newsletter from some website or other that says I need to log in to change my preferences.. only my account there must have been purged as they have no record of my email address (the exact email being sent the newsletters)

Sites - just provide easy one-click unsubscribe links, chances are it'll improve your open/click rate as you're letting people who aren't interested sift themselves out.

Very Cool! I've got to try this out! I'm definitely picking up a bit of a Tcl vibe here, which is another language I've been wanting to try out. Especially with the integrated GUI toolkit, it's giving me some Tk vibes as well.

Does anyone know if there was any direct inspirational link from Tcl to Red/Rebol, or was it just by the nature of the idea of making an extensible langauge suitable for making lots of DSLs in?
The 7 Most Popular DEV Posts from the Past Week
Why is this being called a backdoor? Is there any indication that that's what it is? Except for the headline, the only claim even remotely as serious made in the article is that it can root some devices, and figuring out which ones is left as an exercise for the reader...
Your comment would only need minor rephrasing to be a defense of C++/C code for greenfield projects in 2017.

"You can be smart about when to use it, if you're good you'll know when you need it"- I personally feel that this is a dangerous default.

> Imagine someone who works as a knife grinder. If he do his job right the knifes will be much more dangerous, they may cause accidents

Poorly sharpened knives are far more likely to cause accidental injuries, and serious ones, than well-sharpened knives. At least in kitchen use, though I'd expect the “a dull knife is more likely to fail to cut what you meant, slideshow off, and strike something else” effect would apply in most uses of knives.

That said WSL tends to work if you pair it with whatever your issue is.

IMO the most ridiculous name in this whole story is their github repo, Microsoft/BashOnWindows. I mean, bash has worked fine on Windows for decades, and it doesn't require an entire subsystem at all :-) WSL isn't half bad compared to that.
Don't get me wrong, I know 4 languages, which means I keep forgetting words in ones I am not using, and it gets a bit awkward to speak in it after a while.

But you know what? I speak in it anyway. How else will I improve my language skills?

The other thing is, they're going to university in USA. Most of their studies will (likely) be in English, so by not picking up English, they are hurting not only their studies, but future career prospects.

Unless, of course, they also have Chinese employees, that only employ Chinese people, which does happen where I live (Australia).
That really depends on whether there's a restraining order in place or not...

> there and back is a five hour drive. During that drive, you could fall asleep and run off the road; have local fauna run out in front of your car; get head-on crashed by drunken drivers, and so on.

> there are risks like tunnels collapsing and blocking the exit. But statistically, I'm sure that those are orders of magnitude less likely than having a heart attack, or falling over and breaking your neck.

Unfortunately I believe you're making an error in how you interpret statistics. These risks exist in addition to the other risks of cave diving, not instead of. Your risk of heart attack or driving incident are already at a certain level. By cave diving you are adding risks such as tunnel collapse or disorientation underwater.

While it's clear that you do plenty to mitigate those risks, they are not reduced to zero. So, all other things being equal, your risk of death is higher than others in your cohort.

But I'm glad you clearly enjoy your hobby, and I fully respect you for that :)

The biggest issue I have with Hackathon culture is when it starts to plague the hiring processes or daily job activities and now we are all supposed to take part on them, by wannabe cool companies, just to get hired.
You can bolt all kinds of funny structures into some DNN system, but if the system doesn't have well behaved gradients (or if it isn't even differentiable) it won't train.
Well it's not like there's any option to deny them. You can only not install the app, unless the app chooses to build for the Android 6 permission system.
Is there a single definition of "clean"? The author has one definition which seems based on items commonly found on labels, like "non-gmo" or "certified organic", that gives consumers an easy way to feel good about what they are about to eat. The commenters here, however, seem to each have their own different idea. Is it keto? Is it organic/"chemical-free"? Can someone point me to one single definition of "clean" eating that isn't just what you feel is "clean"?

If there is, how does it line up with the author's definition? How does the actual definition fit with the content of the article?

If there isn't one definition, I'm sort of with the author on this one. "Clean" is whatever labels the consumers use to feel superior through what they are eating.
>So does that mean you should never do anything that might get you killed if you have children?

You should probably avoid things that cause life insurance rates to jump up. That's a good barometer for excessive risk.

>Even if you have life insurance?

Parents and money are not substitute goods. Life insurance is helpful for financial security, but it doesn't account for the detriment to being raised by a single parent.
I have a pet theory that food ideology is/has replaced conventional religion for a lot of folks. There is a need to feel 'virtuous' in our daily lives and since we gotta eat it's a convenient place to go. So we get all these strange ideologies and dogmas which don't seem to make us much healthier physically but maybe helps fills in some accumulated spiritual decay.

Design tools of today (part 2)
I mostly have apple devices but have a Nexus 7 at home. I'm not sure which version it's running.

Every time I install something I have a sinking feeling as it asks me to allow it to do things that sound wildly beyond anything I would ever want an app to do. Things like an app for my kids that asks for something along the lines of "access to the files". Hopefully things have improved with the newer OS but man I feel uncomfortable installing apps on Android in a way I've never felt with Apple.
Counter-anecdote: Not a single developer I know wants to touch Python 2 after trying to get Django to work reliably with Unicode.

Then again, if your language is completely representable with US-ASCII, you might not have experienced the pain caused by having to unit test pretty much all string operations in your code.
A big difference is that Rust has a zero overhead interop with C, so it it allows mixed projects or gradual porting.

So Scala or Kotlin replacing Java, or F# replacing C# may be a better analogy. What happens there, is that Java and C# are improving just enough that many people are simply not considering the change... And C++ are trying really hard nowadays too - new version with interesting features every few years etc...

(By the way - I'm a Rust fan, and also a functional programming fan, so I would be happy if C++, C#, Java would slow down a little to let the alternatives really catch up popularity;)
"Central server" for routing. Uh oh.

AT&T used to try to avoid centralization, but ended up with routing controlled from Bedminster, NJ.[1] An interesting comment from AT&T's NOC tour guide is that load doesn't vary much any more. AT&T used to have holiday calling surges and such, but now, in an always-on world, overall load is relatively steady.

One of the huge benefits of GPs over NNs is the ease of reverse engineering a GP tree compared to NN models. Its not effortless however. Its just not mathematically complex like NNs i.e. a programmer who isn't a mathematician can analyze GPs with a lot of patience

EDIT: I have found GPs to be relatively slow-to-very-slow. But very likely that is because of the lack of interest and development compared to NNs
I hope people stop citing that survey. NIPS and ICML authors are AI researchers, not attendees of PT-AI, AGI, or EETN (who are likely to be AI philosophers and singularists) or TOP100 authors who are likely to be be old, uninformed of current research. And anyone who agrees to such a survey is likely to have an extreme/controversial opinion (yes, surveyors were self-selected).

First of all, this is discussion about people eating too many calories from bad food. Bananas probably beat most of the snacks otherwise discussed.

And protein deficiency? A 70kg male needs something like 55g of protein (WHO figures) unless they exercise. You are not going to go below that unless you fill a substantial chunk of your calorie intake by eating pure fat.

I eat a plant based diet and weigh about 67kg. On 2500kcal I get about 95-110g of protein, and that is without trying. Had I been a meat/milk eater, this number would have been higher.

Protein intake is generally a problems if you are either starving or very serious about building LOTS ofta muscle.
I don't mind hacking something together and not getting paid, but what bothers me is that hackathons are very rarely about what actually gets made - now that many have thousands of dollars worth of prizes, it actually behooves hackers to put a lot of effort into presentations rather than development, and if you don't win a prize you feel like you've wasted your weekend.

I've found civic hackathons like Random Hacks of Kindness (http://www.rhokaustralia.org/) to be a lot more fun though.

The US wasn't meant to be micromanaged from above at the federal level to begin with, so it's not a surprise that expectations of congress to solve the country's problems are not being met.

There are a non-trivial number of people (including me), who are happy when the federal level fails to legislate things that can be legislated perfectly fine at the state level. There is no reason to think that the laws in California should be the same as the laws in Michigan, much in the same way the laws in California shouldn't be the same as the laws in France.

edit: typo
Your hypothetical survey method has a literal survivorship bias (and a statistical one...you're not asking the children of parents that took risks and didn't die). Looking at risk the way you're looking at it is a recipe for wasting your life. The better way to think of it is like the way that poker players look at their decision making...don't be outcome oriented. There's a logical, statistical way to do this and it's called the micromort. 1 micromort equates to a 1 in 1 million chance of death. Each activity that has been engaged in widely enough to be measured will have a micromort value and, while the math is a bit more complicated, they mostly just add up. Just because he engages in an exotic activity that carries some risk, doesn't mean he's being reckless.

Put another way, would you say a father that chooses to drive a 2 hour commute (each way) per day is being reckless? No doubt you can find countless children who lost a parent in an auto accident who would tell you they would have wanted their father to have a shorter commute and still be with them. But since driving is a familiar activity, no one questions the risk that someone is incurring with that kind of decision. And yet that 2-hours to work and 2-hours back drive is, based on the stats that I've been able to find, around 1 micromort. Over the course of a year, that adds up to around 200 micromorts, or roughly 1/5000 chance of dying. I can't find the data on cave diving, which is no doubt higher than recreational diving, but SCUBA has a value of 5 micromorts per dive, so it's roughly equivalent to driving 1250 miles on a highway. Someone doing 40 dives per year is taking on roughly the same risk as that 50,000 mi/year driver.

Humans are really bad about estimating risk. We do it by equating risk to the ease in which we can imagine something happening. It's why so many people are afraid of statistically safe activities like air travel while underestimating much more serious dangers. We need a framework, like micromorts, for thinking about risk logically to better determine what amount of risk to take on and then "spend" that risk budget in whatever way helps us get the most out of life. Parents can say, "I'd like a 90% chance of being alive when my kids turn 10, a 75% chance of being alive when they turn 18 and a 50% chance of being alive when they turn 30." Once you've decided on a risk threshold, you can work backwards to determine how many micromorts you're allowed to take on each year.

Otherwise, you're just living your life based on irrational fears.
URLTeam (part of the larger ArchiveTeam) are doing this for quite a few different URL shortening services and they're providing torrents to download the database[1] (similar to how they created torrents for the entirety of GeoCities[2]).

I would recommend contributing to their various tools[3] so that the archive can be maintained for future digital archeologists.

The Wayback Machine is run by the Internet Archive (and ArchiveTeam is a project run in part by folks from the Internet Archive and a whole gaggle of volunteers), so I'm not really surprised they were happy with you providing backups of URL shortened links. But I would recommend helping URLTeam more directly (since their method of keeping archives of URL shorteners is much more efficient).

Problem is that the companies with the biggest issues are the one that need to hire the most and the ones hiring you are often the most oblivious to it because they've stuck around so long. You don't find out how bad the code is until you start the job and you don't find out how the company really intends to handle it for some time, possibly months.

What we really need is corporate code reviews when interviewing. They give me code tests for my competence, I should be able to do the same for the hiring organisation. Then I could at least ask about specific issues and ask how and when they intend to deal with them.
I believe that developers who don't take breaks are not utilizing their full potential. When I lift weights, I take breaks in between. Muscles need rest. So does the brain.

The amount of time I do a physical activity or a non-programming activity contributes to my rest and personal happiness, which makes me program better.
Agreed, I've always considered "clean" to mean non-preprocessed food.

Even with paid news, the NYTimes, WSJ, etc are using this new model of 'share-ability' to spread their articles in hopes of getting new subscribers. Unfortunately this means that they are still highly incentivized to generate click-bait and inflammatory articles.

Better to write clap-trap for a single political view that will spread like wild fire in its echo chamber rather than a well-reasoned article properly contrasting the opposing viewpoints. People don't share articles that challenge them and their social circle, they share what they agree with.
