Well, perhaps I should clarify that I gave up because my assessment of the costs paralleled the research and numbers in the blog post. No way could I run this as a 'side project' on beer money, because if the site became even remotely popular, the escalating costs of the hosting, CDN, encoding etc. would have just slammed me quickly, and I didn't have any monetisation strategy in place.

I basically wanted to build what SoundCloud was in its early days, before they lost touch with their user base.

The other main point about the copyright infringement in the article wasn't on my radar at all, because I wanted my site to be for music creators to share ideas and collaborate, rather than post commercial music on - but thinking back, THAT could have become a huge problem too, if, as you have suggested, nefarious people had simply used my platform to share non public domain music.

Since an actual competitive runner responded I'll skip that part.

I'll just point out that I agree with Vybarr about what the reasons to run are and why one should do it. I really hated running until I tried those shoes (very minimal shoes in general, nothing special about Vibrams specifically unless you are out in nature on very uneven terrain and need separate toes to help balance), now it is a joyful experience that I look forward to. There is a reason that owners got so excited about those things that it started to annoy people. I'll stand by my statement, and if I ever feel the need to compete at long distance then I'll wear whatever shoes get that job done the best.
A simple policy to add would be 2-factor authentication, no single shared developer account, and (on Google's side), both another security challenge (2FA) and e-mail notification to both a primary and recovery e-mail address when an extension is moved. Pretty sure Google also raises a question when logging in from a new device, e.g. from Russia, or when certain information is changed. (I know Facebook did at least).

I haven't started on the course yet, but I have exp. with Anaconda. On every fresh linux install, I install Anaconda first. It won't do anything to your system. It'll ask for a path, install all the necessary files there and then add that directory at the start of path so that when you type python on terminal the anaconda python will start. You can still access the previously installed python version by typing python2.7 or python3.5.

Totally agree on the unstructured content in the forums. I would suggest they open up the wikis more for editing by MOOC-students, and work to keep that up-to-date. Wading through forums for those nuggets of information to fix your problems is time consuming and boring.

As a workaround, you _can_ copy and paste equations between Pages and Keynote. It even round trips in the sense that you can edit an equation that was copy-pasted to Keynote by copying it back to Pages.
I think that you have to be lonely at some point in your life in order to be genuine. A lot of people are over-socialized and not in touch with themselves and it's difficult to be friends with them because it feels like work.
I still mostly run with headphones playing an audiobook honestly. When I don't I really appreciate just how focused and serene the experience is. I guess it's just a habit I can't break, and that occasional bad run is much worse without a distraction.

Seems a lot of people missed it, so maybe I just caught it because it's so close to my opinion.
The issue was not that Travis or whoever would not be "adult". They were more adults then most of us. The issue was that they had low ethics, got what they wanted in any dirty way possible which brought them huge early success. The very same traits that brought them success are the ones that make it hard to get rid of him. Plus, the board is intentionally filled with people who are ok with people like Travis and companies doing whatever.

Palio di Siena: The World’s Wildest Horse Race (2015)
There are already examples of routeless public transport, which is in third world countries with private, relatively poor quality mini bus based public transport. As transit systems become more developed they graduate toward fixed routes with larger capacity buses because it is the most efficient way of transporting people. This is why we've seen Lyft move toward this as well (reinventing the bus).

It will be interesting to see how autonomous vehicles change public transit as the technology develops, but I would not be surprised if the utopian vision of public transit that delivers the user to their exact destination never becomes a reality.
> Wait, what? The man just give you an option to use static site generator, and he even included the link of one. The cost of using this instead of Medium is absolutely nothing (Github account offer page hosting).

What you seem to be getting at is that your time is worth absolutely nothing and that it is worth using your time to create a simple, static blog and hosting it somewhere free.

I disagree that your time is worth nothing but maybe we value our time differently. Regardless it misses my point: if I'm comparing one developer to another it's never going to even enter my mind that they may or may not have developed their own blog because it's an entirely pointless distinction.

I honestly can't feel sorry. And the fact that this journo from wapo is only victim blaming doesn't surprise me one bit.
Personally, I never write comments on blog posts, but I participate in communities like Hacker News and a couple random subreddits.

I prefer including links to Hacker News or Reddit in the blog post. I'm not interested in handling authentication, moderating users, or dealing with spam. News aggregators usually do a great job with all those points.

That doesn't handle custom JSON schemas at all. I don't know much about Elm but at work in Haskell we mostly write FromJSON instances manually. It's probably the same amount of code as the data type definition.

I often listen to a live web stream from a prayer room (KHOP). They take the audio directly from the mixing desk, and it's really dry; it needs more reverb.

I can use Soundflower and AULab to add that reverb (and a little low shelf filter). I also found a way to control that from my Palette ( http://palettegear.com ) using AppleScript, but there's a lag.

I'd rather bundle the Soundflower + Audio Unit into a simple double clickable app, but it all seems like a lot of work.

Another project I plan to build is for my iPhone. I've got a Bluetooth headset, and I want to take the audio from the iPhone's microphone, and echo it back through the headphone port on the Bluetooth headset. When giving a presentation, I could use the iPhone as a microphone & presentation clicker, and take the audio over Bluetooth and pass it to speakers.

It all seems like a lot of work though, so if someone else has already done projects that are related to those two ideas, please tell me!

One more "serverless" offering from Azure focused on IT/Azure Management scenarios is Azure Automation. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/automation/

The difference between it and other serverless offerings like Lambda and Functions is that you can run your jobs for upto 3 hours (after which we will restart it, not kill it, so if it is idempotent it will work ). It supports PowerShell/Python right now. Another core feature is being able to run scripts on your own VM from the Cloud called the Hybrid Worker. This has support both for Windows/Linux machines. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation...

the cheaper ones seem to have a blue/white tone whereas the expensive ones have a yellow/white tone and are warmer.

This is just normal color temperature and both come in all price points. I have several warm bulbs I got at Target on clearance for $2/2. I think it's just that the warm cheap LEDs are usually sold out, so all that's left are the prison-colored ones.
yeah, that's why every person is different.

Future-proof public transportation needs to steer away from the word "mass" as much as possible.

Mass transit, of any kind, is doomed by increasing security risks and vulnerabilities. Its strict timetables and geographic scopes are incompatible with a world that is now connected, 24/7 and mostly wants to move away from big urban centers.

We need more shared or individual transportation instead. Cars, planes and pods that are efficient and low cost. That's the only way humanity can scale and better adapt to the planet while freeing people that want to desperately break away from 9 to 5, rush hour and suburbs.
One nice thing about rising inequality is that the proportion of people who are net beneficiaries of redistributive policies approaches 100%.
Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say that (==) : a -> a -> Bool is a lie? I don't have enough experience with more powerful type systems to know what the more accurate claim would be. Do you mean that it should really be Eq a => a -> a -> Bool, because not all types can be checked for equality?
If you want a powerful type system (i.e. Haskell), but the benefits of Elm, Miso is a project that implements the Elm Architecture in Haskell. It obviously has typeclasses, and can encode / decode JSON on the frontend using GHC.Generics quite well. https://github.com/dmjio/miso

Perhaps obvious question - but have you tried approaching the Gates foundation? They are more concerned with sorting the issues of inequality.

Or, to be slightly obtuse, have you tried approaching Elon Musk for funding? Perhaps he'll be a bit more flush with cash once the Model 3's start rolling out the door and he'll have another billion around to donate. One of Musk's OpenAI principles was trying to democratise AI and that sounds pretty much exactly like what you're doing.

I think there's a constraint that if you want to call your program something with TeX in the name then you need to be able to process the "trip" torture test by Knuth (see http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/generic/knuth/tex/tripman.p...) I don't think Microsoft will be able to do this anytime soon.

Also, I don't think they want it either, since they figure there's probably not a lot of money to be made in this area.

Another issue is that many LEDs have peaky spectra. This makes cool white harsh and warm white dingy. This isn't limited to cheap products, as producing a fuller spectrum with LEDs is less efficient.

I'll take the efficiency hit for better light; the most common measure used, printed on the packaging of some bulbs is CRI (color rendering index). It's based on blackbody radiation, so incandescent bulbs and sunlight both have the maximum score of 100. The average unspecified LED is in the 60s and sodium vapor lamps are negative. 90 is good for an LED, and 97 is the highest I've heard of someone testing in an LED[0].

CRI isn't the whole story on color quality, and it's possible to have high CRI with off tints or even a peaky spectrum outside of the specific colors the CRI standard tests, though the latter doesn't happen in practice. Several newer standards for measuring color quality exist, but are unlikely to be listed on a light bulb label.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that a guy that founded a massive company and drove it to unparalleled success only to be forced out while in the early stages of mourning his mother's unexpected death (and caring for his severely injured father) has not gone quietly into the night.

I think the passenger rape records issue was the straw that broke the camel's back and he had to go, but I don't think it needed to be done the way it was. Sure, there's a decent argument that he only has one speed and would be meddling regardless (as he supposedly was while he was supposed to be "on leave"), but doing it the way they did made Travis lashing out once he'd had a bit of time to process it an absolute 100% certainty.

Yes, from some of the answers above it's not so simple as farming and ranching.

Aroon Indicator
I know it has been the fancy thing to say for at least the past 2-3 years, but I for myself get car-sickness at even the thought of reading in a car. I do not get any car sickness while riding the tramway or the trolleybus (even though I have to stand up). The billions of dollars spent on companies like Uber would have been much better spent trying to raise awareness about the benefits of public transport.
I've run consistently for the past 30 years, most often in the spirit of the article: long, slow, meditative runs. What my cross country coach in high school called Long Slow Distance ("limber up gentlemen, we'll be doing LSD today!"). Tried a fitbit for a while, found that reducing it to numbers took the joy out of it. I'm back to where I started: no accelerometers or earphones, outdoors, ideally on a trail. I don't go all that fast or do big miles, but it's pretty much where I'm happiest.

About bum knees: I've often been warned that running will ruin them, but I stopped running for two years in my mid-thirties due to work, and then blew out my knee in a frickin' coffee shop, of all places--because the muscles holding it together had weakened from not running. Major surgery, took forever to recover. Limped for well over a year and thought I might never run again. Got a new job and started biking to work--about 4 miles each way. Within a month the limp was gone, a month or so after that I was running again. Been six years and my knee feel great. If you haven't tried gentle cycling and it's an option, you may want to consider it. I think maybe the low-impact nature of cycling let the knee strengthen without being stressed, and once the strength was back, it could handle the stress.
One could use a generics library to emulate something like Go's struct field tags, which decouple "external" fields names from the actual field names. Something like this is explained from 48:50 in this talk: https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/10181-fun-with-sum-and-...

But perhaps it wouldn't save much code compared to custom-made parsers.
That's exactly what I mean: A type like a -> a -> Bool says that it will work for _any_ a, but we can easily find counter examples. We could pass in functions (say) and write something like (\x -> x * 2) == (\x -> x + 1). The type signature for (==) as written says it _should_ work, but it doesn't because there's no general way to compute function equality.

Instead, there's this temporary hack[0]:

> Note: Equality (in the Elm sense) is not possible for certain types. For example, the functions (\n -> n + 1) and (\n -> 1 + n) are “the same” but detecting this in general is undecidable. In a future release, the compiler will detect when (==) is used with problematic types and provide a helpful error message. This will require quite serious infrastructure work that makes sense to batch with another big project, so the stopgap is to crash as quickly as possible. Problematic types include functions and JavaScript values like Json.Encode.Value which could contain functions if passed through a port.

As you say, Haskell's version of (==) has the type Eq a => a -> a -> Bool, and function types do not belong to Eq.

How to save a valuable specialist who decided to quit?
I disagree with everything you wrote. From what you say, it seems you never lived here and you must be trolling.

Regarding 1) I can give you at least three personal contacts who can not speak German and get by well in Zurich. You have people living here for 10 years and don't speak German. 30% people living in the city don't hold a Swiss passport which makes it the city with the biggest "foreigner" rate (higher than London or Berlin)

Switzerland is the best place to have a family because cities are very small. I am surprised how many people don't get this. I recently overheard a discussion of a bunch of bankers in the train (One Swiss guy, two English guys). They UK-guys could not understand that most people "don't live in the city". The reason is this: It takes you 8 min by train from the city center into "nature"(e.g., Zurich HB -> Schlieren or Stettbach). In NYC, London or Berlin it's more like one hour. That means if you work "in the city" and if you are ok to commute like 10 minutes, you can get a very good and cheap apartment.

I even know one Phd student who earns 4000 CHF (waiter's salary) and feeds his wife and two kids from that money. This is unthinkable in Germany or any other place I know.
Aside from one localish case that was maybe-murder (and that also dropped off the news way before it got as far as a court case, so I don't know how that actually turned out) the news is usually of the occurrence, not the charges—the potential of which may be mentioned in the story, but are never the focus.

I can reliably inform you that this coverage of the occurrences, but not the charges/convictions, is quite enough to give parents yet another thing to stress the hell out about against all statistical reason.
How long does it take for the car to arrive or how long does it take to schedule it?

"On one side is Mr. Kalanick, who is plotting a comeback". One this phrase is enough to realize that Mike Isaacs is a Benchmark fanboy and he is expected to advance their side of the story, just as he did in the last months/years. Move on, no journalism here, just leaks and propaganda.
Cryptocurrency news should always be taken with a grain of salt; there are a lot of people and investors with a lot of interest in hyping the thing so more people get on board and buy crypto. /r/ethtrader is full of posts like that, bringing positivity and "pls have faith" posts when the price goes down, excited memes when the price goes up, etc. Imagine efforts like that, but done by multi-million companies.
I think Apple is trying to move towards local-data, that is, taking traditional cloud based services and putting them into the device. The idea being that your data doesn't have to be aggregated centrally in order to apply machine learning and develop connections. Your data is yours to control. I don't know how effective this move will be.
Agreed! It took several tries to get LEDs which worked well for vanity (i.e. Mirror) lighting. I thought it was a simple matter of color temperature - so wrong!

High CRI strip LED arrays are surprisingly hard to find. The end result was worth it though - skin looks natural, and the nearest commercial version is upwards of $800 - and I'm not entirely sure they got the CRI right.
TLDR: Use FIDO hardware 2FA. The tokens are $15. No excuses.

It’s really more about payment cards (debit, credit) in general, not credit per se.

Where exactly does Apple Pay fit in this chain? Do they replace the card issuer or are they a new link between the acquiring bank and the issuer?
It's not quite that. The cheap ones use white LEDs which are basically phosphor doped blue LEDs. They have a distinct blue peak which is far brighter than the overall output. The more expensive ones use blue LEDs with separate phosphor outside the LED chip. Philips do that. Seems to result in far better filtering of the blue part of the spectrum.
