I personally much prefer using a local setup (editor+plugins+instantaneous compiling, etc), but of course collaboration is painful that way, especially given my collaborators much prefer web-based/shared work-flows. Just few days ago, however, discovered that I can use an overleaf project as just a git repo, then push/pull as I see fit. That is an amazing feature!... everyone get to work how they want. Hope that it stays included with the free version.

"The Boring Company's ambitions include reducing both the diameter of tunnels and increasing the speed of soft-soil boring machines to carve them. It wants to increase machine power and have them run on electricity instead of diesel, automate the process with fewer human operators, and tunnel continuously instead of erecting support structures. Noting that a snail is effectively 14 times faster than a soft-soil boring machine, the company says in bold that "our goal is to defeat a snail in a race." To highlight the point, it also links to a picture on Musk's Instagram of the company's mascot, a snail with a name and environs inspired by SpongeBob Squarepants."

Your opinion about javascript and closures in particular makes me question the rest of your comment. Closures in javascript makes it easy to write async code.

I wonder whether it is theoretically possible to use small-sized botnet (500 nodes?) for p2p hosting. Something IPFS/Maidsafe/Storj-like, for example, tweaked for even more redundancy and small resource consumption.
I think because once you get into the range of 20-digit prime numbers, there become quite a lot, such that it's infeasible to test all permutations to find the prime factors.
Your first paragraph doesn't make any sense. Our government could have built high speed rail any time in the past 30 years if there was the political will to get it done. There wasn't. The fact that someone is offering alternatives at this point just means that they realistically see that no one has no desire to build high speed rails in the US.

Yep. I don't think they were trying hard enough to make the experience unpleasant and memorable. If they didn't get further than flashing warnings with various sizes and wordings then they were a little premature in this conclusion.

Specifically, T-Mobile has deployed their 700MHz blocks throughout the country, which gives them much better indoor and rural coverage. You need to make sure your handset supports LTE band 12 to take advantage of it. They also have a significant amount of recently-purchased 600MHz spectrum (LTE band 71) which they are in the process of lighting up.
Hyperloop? A concept for which not even one single working prototype exists? And even if there was a prototype- who would pay for this? Dream on.

Formal specs[0][1][2][3] have existed for years, not necessarily from the W3C.

All of them suffer from a chicken or egg problem. Without servers following specs, there won't be clients. Without spec-based clients, servers will continue to serve ad hoc formats.

Actually it is kind of a miracle that the web was standardized around HTML and not thousands of competing markup formats. We have JSON as a defacto standard for a machine format, but it lacks semantics, which is where JSON-LD comes into play.

I have not actually seen an API using JSON-LD in the wild, but it looks promising and is a W3C recommendation. The spec says nothing about building APIs and it looks kind of ugly with all of its @ prefixes, which is where Micro API[2] comes into play.

For me, free time is when I don't have the motivation to start something new right then and there so I look something up or work on learning a new framework/language. It can also be when I finish work and still have 30 minutes until my train.

Unions are used in C APIs so having them is nice for FFI.

Besides, enums aren't always optimal for some things. Let's say that you have an array of 32-bit values whose prime-numbered indexes contain either a signed or unsigned 32-bit integer, depending on a single global boolean tag. You can't encode that invariant into a (non-dependent) type system. If you want to do it safely, using enums, you are going to have a tag for every value, and that's going to cost you. (A bit crazy example, but bear with me.)

Unions are a way to circumvent the type system a bit. They allow you to keep track of the stuff inside memory slots using the way you see the best. But there's a reason they're unsafe - the responsibility is on you!
Most of the East Coast passenger railways were laid down when trains were much slower, and even then they had to pass through many densely populated areas. So there are a lot of curves, mostly flat, and lots of surface crossings with roads. That slows the trains down. Some sections have been upgraded to allow higher speeds, but with station stops and unimproved sections the average speed is stilk slow.

I have 1Password and I love it.

But my biggest fear that I have is; if my laptop was ever pwned in some way, due to some noval 0-day etc - is that everything stored in 1Password could be compromised. But more importantly - the hackers would have an address book of banks, servers, databases etc that I have access to.

I dont know if there is a solution - but I feel it is like putting all your eggs in one basket.
It feels like a comparison of the available options out there is something "useful to the world".

I am not too sure how to do that but would value comments from people who have used open source password managers, or even read the code!

Shall we?

My assumptions for this list of recommended apps is at minimum:

- a single file in a well-known format is stored on a cloud service, and can be read / updated from different devices and platforms

- as this is encryption, we prefer open source code and trusted binary makers

My experience:

I use pwSafe on iOS (binary from some random guy). This backsup to dropbox.

I have a python script based on pypwsafe3 that can read the file on Linux. I have not yet tried BI-directional

I know pwSafe is based on Schneier's windows version, but frankly I have not tried to find the code or validate the binary.

So - is it worth building some kind of knowledge base here?
EDIT: refers more to cost, and not directly time.

Musk claimed[1] existing tunnels are far too big/wide as they're over-engineered for safety + regulatory FUD. Boring plans to reduce tunnel diameter by half (from 28ft to 14), and then build a better machine to tunnel + support the walls simultaneously. Estimates would reduce costs by ~10x.

Hey, James from ShareLaTeX here. We’re very excited about what this means for ShareLaTeX and Overleaf! The blog post says most of what we wanted to say, but all four founders from ShareLaTeX and Overleaf are around this evening (we’re in the UK) to answer questions if you have any. Give us a little while to reply though, since we’re all trying to have dinner too! :)
Does anybody know if there's a generalized version of this? I'd love some way to define custom things to display on new pages. If not, I think I'll have to go fork this and implement it :)

thanks, but all I see is 5 issues, all of which fixed (and rather quickly).
I had the same reaction. If I need to support users with shitty routers should I stay away from amazon? My users will just blame me not their router, or switch to my competition who is not using Amazon since it works. My users aren't going to read a long explanation of TCP/IP. Some users have no choice like a school or work firewall/router. If my website doesn't work and the competitions does what do you think happens next if I don't stop using s3? The real question is how many users have a "shitty router".

From their frame of reference, maybe. On the other hand, if the only industry supporting your town is a dying industry, then you have a couple of possibilities:

1. Move elsewhere that has economic prosperity.

2. Get another industry to move in that will help prop up the town's economy.

3. Repair the dying industry.

Option #3 is likely the hardest, and the most likely to fail, yet it seems to be the only option that people in Appalachia want to hear about.

That's the one. My grandfather had dementia. And my father now has signs of brain atrophy, although still no cognitive decline. But he is in his 60s and has had hearing issues for the last decade, combined with ptsd, depression, anxiety and alcoholism. All of it (including mental illness in my family) is most probably somehow connected. I've also found some resources on how having bad teeth (which I do) is also correlated. For now I'm trying to be fitter and take bigger doses of B-vitamins and some other "nootropics". Also, looking forward to the new generation of meds now being tested, such as aducanumab.
Big Government seems to be really hooking into the trend of these new and unproven tech trend, like solar roadways, because lets face it, it's a great way to soak millions into great sounding/feeling things and run away while everyone is still dreaming with their heads in the clouds.
I would say that this is one of the things that have inspired many mathematicians to study and try to understand the primes. Many results in classical analytic number theory measure things which deviate away from the assumption of randomness. And mathematicians are often very interested in recognizing new times when things are not as random as they appear (such as [1] recently, where it turns out that there are biases between congruence classes of consecutive primes, even though in the limit things are "random").

Rust refactor times are significantly faster than C++, and solutions can be implemented and deployed to production at a much faster rate, without the need to wait for Coverity scans to verify PRs. It enforces proper idioms at compile-time; makes it easier to implement and debug issues with threads; enables the capability to enforce correct API usage (See how Vulkano > C++ Vulkan; or Glium > C/C++ OpenGL) with the aid of additional type information and compile-time state machines; encourages developers to push towards zero to minimal-allocation designs due to the move semantics / borrow checker; opens the door to a wide range of compiler optimizations not possible in C/C++; enables rapid software development through automatically pulling Cargo dependencies from Crates.io, and making it simple to push crates of your own to the repos for others to use, resulting in much less reinventing the wheel, and more extensive testing of community solutions; not to mention the ADTs and pattern matching, and a significant number of additional features that C++ just doesn't have.
I kind of see the point you are making, that some people don't do things that are good for them because they let their wife says no.

That said, I think you miss the point ABCLAW is making. A lot of people care highly about making sure that their family is taken care. This keeps them from risking everything on starting on a start-up.

As an aside, I see the options as
1) find a 8-5 I enjoy, get paid well enough to support my family and enjoy the extra time with them.
2) Start a company, work 80+ hours a week for >2 years for a <5% chance to never have to work again.

For me and my family 1 is a much more appealing option

"Here install this 30MB bundle once and let us focus on everything else. It's not a big ask."

That was basically Java applets, and then later JNLP and Flash.

It turns out it is a big ask. Users really don't want to install software, and their attention span is literally about two seconds. Javascript + DOM "won" over Java applets for two main reasons: you could access the whole browser window, and you could display something on the screen immediately without needing to load your whole application's functionality.

We didn't like JS back in 2002 either - the Java ecosystem was much more mature and easier to program with. But we put up with it because users expressed a very clear preference for DHTML apps over Java applets, and money follows users, and devs follow the money.

All the tree-shaking, code-splitting, minifying, etc. is there to preserve this "loads quickly" property as JS apps have gotten more complex. A lot of sites do it poorly, but think of those sites as prey for an enterprising startup willing to put the extra effort into snappiness.

Reid Hastings (Netflix founder) uses a different analogy.

He compares a company as a high performing "sports team". With the idea being, you're working towards a collective goal. You each have you're own role. But if you're not performing, you get cut. Just like any athlete would get cut.

The problem with the "family" analogy is it implies "unconditional love" regardless if you're messing up, failing, not performing.

Nice assumption. Much of the software I use is actually implemented in Rust. And soon, I'll be using an operating system that's 100% written in Rust, with a 100% Rust Servo-powered web browser. It's only a matter of time.

In addition, I've also implemented my servers (web server included) in Rust, and they have zero dependencies upon C/C++ software, so your entire point is rendered invalid.

Can you skip a meal without going through a withdrawal? A spike in blood sugar from a carb-heavy meal causes an insulin spike and, in turn, it drops the blood sugar below the healthy level, which is experienced as a feeling of hunger and a need to have the next meal or a snack (which in turn spikes sugar again, causing another insulin burst etc. etc.)

Given that Richard Bates faced prosecution for working on the code of the original Silk Road, this could result in very, very bad repercussions.

GitHub would very likely be raided, and anyone who committed to or forked the repo could be prosecuted. I don't think anyone wants that to happen. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if GitHub will update their TOS to ban this kind of software before anyone gets prosecuted in order to prevent themselves from being raided.
It is standard to take two primes that each have at least 100 digits or so. There are approximately 10^100 / 230 primes of of this size (this is the Prime Number Theorem). There is simply not enough space or time to store or interpret 10^100 numbers.

The field is so vast that it depends on what you want to look at. So for e.g. When you consume a high protein diet (proteins > purine > uric acid) you can have problems with your kidneys. I've seen reports of people ending up in the hospital because the body couldn't regulate blood glucose, caused by a low-carb diet. Now, since its more ethical to experiment on rats, you can find numerous studies which show problems with both LCHF/LCHP diets - including long term bone health impact, growth hormone, etc. Note that you can also find benefits (none of which are unique to low-carb AFAICT), but its one of those things where continuing to eat a normal diet doesn't require "proof", but even a single major problem with an extreme diet, is cause for concern. his is a problem with extreme diets in general, because you have to become somewhat of a mini-expert yourself to be able to determine if the diet is providing you all the things you need. The people who tell you its "simple" are the ones who have invested a lot of time (or they were already knowledgeable) in learning about the various factors.
