Until you want to do something simple like change the zones on a travelcard, and TfL issue you a new card.
The people at level n+1 to you in an organisation are there because they have the support of people at level n+2. Your issue has to be serious enough to get the attention of someone at level n+3 or nothing will happen. And the problem of one employee not getting on with his or her line manager, isn't serious enough in reality.

The only power you have in this case is to go elsewhere.
>>> b) they have more resources to burn. If they throw 10 people on a large deal and it doesn't go through the company itself typically isn't hurt that much (the reps, that's a different story).

Basically, you're saying that your company is flimsy and doesn't have the resources to execute a sale. It's probably not the impression you want to give to clients ;)

MSFT/Oracle win because they have a) decades of experience in selling b) branding c) already in the door of most companies.

The things that get hyped when they're fiction stop being hype when they become real. I used to watch Beyond 2000 and marvel at the tantaluzing future it promised me: wireless phone calls using a grid of "cellular" microtowers, vision corrective surgery with tiny cuts made into the cornea, athletic shoes that provide extra cushioning with small gas-filled chambers in the heel.

Cellphones, LASIK, and Air Jordans are just part of the fabric of everyday reality now. We've seen their benefits but also their drawbacks. As they became widespread consumer products and services, not just experiments in a lab someplace, thwy lost their sheen and became the new normal.

But we still live in wonderful times, even if we choose not to see it.
Actually most of us do not have a choice, OOP languages, tools and frameworks are usually forced upon us. At least OOP languages are finally adopting functional features, but if one really wants to favour immutability and composition (modern OOP advice), one needs a functional-first language.
GI isn't the whole story. Some proteins trigger insuline response way more than blood sugar.

This site has a lot of interesting material on the subject. https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/insulin-index/

Couldn't find the particular text I was loooing for but apparently there was this study where they mixed pasta with milk or water and added glucose to achieve equal mixes of glucose, lactose and such. The mix with the milk had something like three times higher insulin response.
There's Chromium Embedded Framework, which is the same thing Electron uses to embed things. I've used it in a few projects and it's quite powerful.

Unfortunately no, this is a passive tag that can only let you read data that's on the chip. The chip also had a unique ID.

Android or Apple Pay use your phone's NFC antenna to communicate. But they don't give out the same information every time.
Maybe I am clueless but why not just stick a NFC chip on the back of your smartphone or just get one with NFC?

I can't imagine any situation where you need an NFC chip and don't carry along your smartphone. Ok, there's one: You are swimming in a swimming pool and need to open the locker afterwards.
I think it has more to do with that your body builds up scar tissue around the magnet that makes its wiggles inside your body less palpable, than that the magnet itself weakens.

With generics, it would be possible to write a library implementing 2-track, functional error handling, which would allow for a form of automatic error propagation.

I've considered this in the past. Though I have nothing to back this up, I very much doubt it.

1. Math and programming are limited in their use - they are never primarily used communicate with other people. They are more like an expansion pack some people add to their language.

2. Language itself is more like a programming language for the brain: Without it, one's development suffers (this is why deaf folks were considered stupid in the past).

3. Math and programming languages require tools that are still developing when people are young. We take years teaching basic maths, for example. People have to be able to grasp the confines of programming languages - which are more strict than spoken language. Children really benefit from having the physical ability to type (for programming) as well.
A few people are doing similar things - I wanted a ring or something like that for a while. But now I just use Apple Pay.

Can you give a little more context to the question? There are various ways but they would be dependent on the reasons in the first place.
Of course they're risky. That's why we DO them. Tattoos and piercings, and possibly also circumcision, have their roots in ancient rituals designed to prove to the community that you are a hardass who can withstand pain and brave the risk of death.

For well-bahaved bots, robots.txt.

For ill-behaved ones, it depends on why you're trying to block them. Rate throttling, IP blocking, requiring login, or just gating all access to the site with HTTP Basic Auth can all work.
How about a space elevator?
A password prompt/captcha? If you do not want to get crawled, do not make it public?
I assume you are concerned about crawlers that do not respect the robots.txt file (which is the polite way to restrict them from indexing your side, but does not provide any actual protection if crawlers chose to ignore the file). Cloudflare has a tool for doing this (now part of their core service):

https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-scrapeshield-discove...

There's a nice Github repo with some advice on blocking scrapers:

https://github.com/JonasCz/How-To-Prevent-Scraping

Finally, you could use a plugin in your Webserver to display a CAPTCHA to visitors from IP addresses that cause a lot of requests to your site.

There are many more strategies available (up to creating fake websites / content to lead crawlers astray), but the CAPTCHA solution is the most robust one. It will not be able to protect you against crawlers that use a large source IP pool to access your site though.
I thought that was strange, glad to see I'm not the only one! And the differences aren't slight for me, crossing the border I seem to revert to the person I used to be 10 years ago when I left. It's strange to talk about but feels natural when it happens.

For someone with an ancient undergrad math background and only "interested observer" level of machine learning knowledge, would it be better to do this course before tackling the deep learning one?
No, like I said, I am not interested in answering the question whether our world is a "simulation". I am interested in exploring whether the somewhat "counterintuitive" formulations of quantum mechanics can be derived from "simpler" models and constraints (and I am acutely aware that I am not the first one to be burned with such a gargantuan task).
Yes, the memory hierarchy is discussed in the course, and algorithms are shown that are designed to take account of this. Older algorithms tended to only consider computation time, not memory access time.
Not sure why you got downvoted. English rail laws are pretty clear about tickets.

> 5.1 All photocards and Oyster photocards remain our property and must not be intentionally
damaged, altered or tampered with in any way. We may withdraw or cancel your photocard or
Oyster photocard at any time

The railway bylaws say this:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...

> 20. Altering tickets and use of altered tickets

> (1) No person shall alter any ticket in any way with the intent that an Operator shall be defrauded or prejudiced.

> (2) No person shall knowingly use any ticket
which has been altered in any way in breach of Byelaw 20(1).

Which makes it sound like this tampering would be okay, but they also say this:

> (1) In any area not designated as a compulsory ticket area, no person shall enter any train for the purpose of travelling on the railway unless he has with him a valid ticket entitling him to travel.

> (2) A person shall hand over his ticket for inspection and verification of validity when asked to do so by an authorised person.

...and it's likely TfL won't see these as valid tickets.

Lately I've been having this feeling that the pseudo science of nutrition (not talking about the researchers but the food and lifestyle artists on social media) makes it very hard to find out what a good diet is and what isnt.

Meat ? Bad unless it isnt. Dairy and Eggs ? Even worse except when it isnt. Vegan/vegetarian nutrition ? The worst except, you guessed it, when it isnt.

If you dont believe me just google any food and try to find out a general consensus about it. A lot of these sites talk about facts without sources, use terms like "toxins" without going into detail about what exactly they are etc.pp.

Thoughts ?

I was going to get an NFC ring initially. But then I woke up one night and decided that if I ever own a gun, and need it in the middle of the night because a zombie broke into my house. I'd want a system where I can stick my hand under the bed and pull out a gun. But this system shouldn't work for anyone else.

That pushed me over the edge and I got an implant a few weeks later. True story.

I still have to get around to buying a gun, let alone create an NFC reading smart holster.

This isn't the case for the most part. It is easier to avoid learning a second language since so many people speak some english and doesn't make bilingualism such an important educational facet like it might in other regions.

But on the individual level, being an english speaker can make it harder. I'm living in Norway. I've had a couple years of immersive language classes. Most of the population speaks English, and many assume to simply use that when speaking to me. The accent and all. Some Norwegians don't see the point of an english speaker learning the language here. A fair amount of the popular music is in English, even Norwegian bands. Television? Childrens tv is dubbed, but a lot of adult television is English with subtitles. Advertisements? half and half. Telemarketers? Often english speaking.

Some books never get translated. Right now, I'm shopping around for a Norwegian copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide. Luckily it is available in Norwegian: Unluckily, it doesn't translate as well so it is a little different. And I'll probably have to order it. The local comic store, where I would normally buy sci-fi or fantasy, mostly sells English books.

Yet for all this, I'm highly motivated. It is really hard to be a part of normal society without Norwegian because this is what folks use in their everyday life. Not everyone here is strong in English, especially older folks. Some workplaces are in English, especially in the tech field, but many aren't. I'm not in the tech field, so learning it is. I'm getting there slowly :)

The other day I've made a Chrome extension for scrapping a protected website. It worked wonderfully, as it simulated a normal user session, bypassing the JavaScript protections the website has. You can also run such scripts with a headless browser for full automation, PhantomJS being an obvious choice.

You really can't protect against this unless you start making the experience of regular visitors much worse.
Nope, you or I may think reserved words should be red or blue, but either the list of words that get highlighted is correct, or it isn't.

That isn't a scaling problem and is a false dichotomy. A scaling problem would be if putting the max block size cap higher than it is now caused network problems.

Seeing that there is trivial resource usage currently and that the 1MB block size limit was chosen arbitrarily, that seems incredibly unlikely.

When I say there isn't a scaling problem and you say 'there has to be something to stop spam' these two things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that you haven't distinguished between one or the other is why FUD and propaganda works so well with bitcoin at this stage.

Candid question: isn't the growth rate of functions the derivative of the Big O complexity instead?
O(1) does not mean that the growth rate is constant. It means that the number of operations is constant, and its derivative being zero, that means the growth is nil.

Go contains many good ideas that may be carried over to more pragmatic languages. Using it for anything beyond simple, self-contained command-line tools and network servers never really worked out for me. And that makes sense, since it was explicitly designed to scale over groups of inexperienced developers at any cost; the opposite of my needs. Modern C++ runs circles around Go for more complex software, and it provides the tools to add as much convenience as needed on a case-by-case basis. I recently ported a 7kloc Go codebase to C++ and wrote down some of my impressions here: https://github.com/andreas-gone-wild/blog/blob/master/rewrit...
I know what you mean, and my answer probably wont be very satisfying to you: Use common sense, eat what your grandma tells you (if you have a good grandma), ignore all the crap on the internet which is 90% confusing rubbish (with the exception of some scientific studies which can be insightful but not necessarily anything to base a diet on).

Try to cook your own food at least half the time and have a balanced intake (just the basics: meat + veg + fruit), if you stick to natural unprocessed foods it's pretty hard to go wrong, avoid sugary treats and highly processed food as much as possible, that's basically all you need to know (sounds pretty obvious because it's common sense).

The fad diets and contradicting advice do not arise out of a failure of your grandmas advice, they arise out of supermarket foods, high sugar, high carbs, ready meals etc. Same with the obesity epidemic, it does not come from lack of will power to not eat like most people think, it comes from the laziness and temptation that we all get from supermarkets.

I try to cook at least half the time and keep an eye on my tendency to be lured by what is becoming way over half of supermarket isles these days (sugar and carb packed processed shit), go to the meat and veg isles out of habit don't even walk down the others unless you want to treat yourself (sugar is a treat not an everyday thing).
I guess some of us are just sick of the hype, and the frankly demented hubris that's so often on display along with it.

I'll be honest, all this biomod stuff looks like LARP to me. Just look at the article, this person literally got a magnet installed so they could play-act at being in a lesser Neil Stevenson novel, while, as noted in these comments, the actual science is nowhere near delivering the advancements that were promised. It turns out not all problems can be solved with a little Javascript.

Maybe that makes me a cynic, fair enough, but all this valley hype is exhausting.
