"What do you so for core conditioning and strength?"

I tend to avoid recommending specific exercises - instead I like to recommend that you think of your trunk in three dimensions and apply weight bearing loads to at least every 90 degrees around that circle (which implies at least four exercises).

So that would mean your flexing your back, your abs, and each of your two sides (Abdominal external oblique, I think).

I personally try to hit every 45 degrees (which implies at least 8 exercises).

You need to try a lot of different exercises and find the ones that work for you and for your body type.

And you need to walk.

You can do 50 different trunk/core exercises and you will never hit every single muscle and combination of muscles the way that walking does.

Your body is a walking machine. You were built to walk. Walking will heal you. It will be painful and difficult at first - when I blew out my L4/L5 I needed to lie down for an hour after walking 4-5 miles. That doesn't last. Your body will tighten and strengthen up all the right muscles to hold your back in the most natural and healthful position it can be in - the one that supports walking.
The idea of Dr Sarno is not really in accordance with the scientific literature but it is indeed a very simple method and has worked like a charm for me, too. So I wouldn't say it's a scam. At worst, his method might turns out to be a placebo.

Most things about Rust are well thought out and well designed. It's the total weight that gets you. Like LISP, back when too many smart people from MIT were adding to it without an overarching vision. It's hard to keep it all in your head. The add-ons aren't libraries with specific functions; they're new control structures. This gives me the feeling I had dealing with the MIT Loop Macro.[1] Proliferation of control structures is not a good thing.

It's crazy that you are aware of this, I always thought that his work had only a local appeal.

Saw it at Fort Mason in SF in the 1990s.

I've written a modicum of Go and the boiler plate was driving me crazy.

That's how I felt about Rust. See some code I wrote at [2], at "Return type and its error handling". Now that's boilerplate. The last time I mentioned this, it was brushed off with "Oh, you'll be able to do that with the '?' operator when it's implemented." Feel free to submit a pull request for the rewrite.

".. in the modern world", "... younger generation". Maybe you're just getting old? If "OOP had it right all along" there wouldn't be a revival of interest in FP. OOP encourages mutable state and the bigger your programme the harder it is to keep track of it. Rampant mutable state also makes concurrency difficult and concurrency is now more important than it was due to multi-core hardware.
This whole conversation is stupid since none of use have even tried the thing.
This reminds me of the beatpaths graphs I used to do for the NFL (http://beatpaths.com) - I'd then come up with power rankings by applying a topological sort. It was all sort of silly and tongue in cheek, but fun.

I'd like to believe this. But why then does user tracking adtech exist? Why is the advertising industry opposed to this move to limit user tracking? Advertisers (the ones paying $ for adtech) are conned? Can you point at evidence for your claim?

Well, for one, the escapement doesn't depend on the quartz crystal for timekeeping, but on magnetic induction.

Spring drive would theoretically work without the quartz components. Seeing how they would generate an electrical current because of the principle, they build a tiny generator to drive a circuit that adjusts the escapement, but doesn't run it.

Also, Spring Drive depends on a fully mechanical wheel train and barrel spring to function; it could not be made to work with a battery.

So what exactly constitutes mechanical and what does quartz here? Is it the wheel train? Does electro-mechanical count as mechanical? Is the mere presence of a quartz crystal in a secondary circuit enough to call it a quartz?

I found it easier to see it a as a new different system for timekeeping instead of trying to place it on an arbitrary scale between "fully mechanical" and "quartz."
I think you are describing the "design by committee" kind of problem, that Rust definitely has.

My Not Nearly Complete, but Rather Entertaining, Circular Polarizer Article
I suffered a crushed vertebra last year and experienced horrendous back pain for many months. Sarno's book almost completely cured me of my pain and stiffness. I don't really understand why it works but it does. I would strongly urge anyone suffering chronic pain to read the Healing Back Pain book. Basic calisthenics and stretching has been very helpful too.
I think you've just answered for me why the ISS is effectively flat and two-dimensional rather than three. Also this strongly suggests that the station has a spin moment corresponding to its orbital period, about 90 minutes.

- Not understanding ownership leads to a lack of design in terms of ownership
- without a better sense of types people's thinking is not explicit and careful enough

Billions of profit, man. BILLIONS. Get out of here with your goading about 'it's not possible to do it for free'. Who gives a flying fuck about paying $500 or $5000, that's not what this is about.

It's about the extraction of rent from society for no added value, other than being deeply embedded in the academic system and holding everybody's career hostage.

To the tune of BILLIONS.

I'm not sure I follow your point. What do you disagree with from what I said?

The task given to Knuth was to display literate programming using a somewhat toy program. He did so.

McIlroy showed how to solve the toy program.

Oddly, Knuth's is the one I would reach for as part of my program. McIlroy's is the one I use interactively all the time. Literally last week I did basically that pipeline in my shell about ten times during log dives.

If I found that elastic search or some other tool was doing something like that pipeline on my queries, I would be rather unhappy. Not to mention I would find a hella easy speed up by rewriting it.

That said, I am now highly interested in benchmarking those two programs. Would be curious to see the results, if someone else already has.
> The iPad could have a spot for the pen. The pen could be tethered to the iPad.

Yes they could, but I really think this is subjective. In my case I prefer NOT to have a spot because of aesthetic reasons, plus I never use the stylus.

But like I said, this is subjective. And that's exactly the point. You can't really judge execution based on subjective qualities like this. It's impossible to satisfy everyone.

It's just a difference in vision. People have different priorities. For example the Bitcoin community right now is divided into two based on their philosophy, and you can't say one is right and one is wrong because each has their own vision and each side makes sense in their own right.

I'm sure Alan Kay had his own vision about what a computer could become. I think if he's so dissatisfied with what it's come to, the best approach is to build one himself and give it to the world. (But honestly, as someone who's been thinking a lot about this field, I see so many "plot holes" in all the criticism he's making)

I am all for visionaries building inspiring products and shipping to market. But it's sad to see people like him dwelling on the past instead of the future.

I think video and music are only good examples to the first approximation. Video for example requires a vast infrastructure to deliver. That's not something that each filmmaker can do on their own. Music is a little easier, but discoverability is still a problem, and if your song becomes popular, good look keeping your host from dying as everyone streams it. Besides, music is a little more difficult to index than papers.

Scientific papers are far easier. The demand even for the most popular ones is likely a lot less than the demand for a semi popular song. It's is easy to self host them. It's also easy to categorize and tag them. And that makes them easy to index. I am going to venture a guess that all scientific papers ever written (stuff that would be published in a journal, not necessarily all the accompanying data), could probably fit on your phone's storage. A kick ass engine to search it could be an app you download. Oh and for the most part there are no licenses to negotiate. You just publish.

So while the only way to get a new scientific paper in front of a large audience of your peers was to print 10k copies of it in a journal and mail the journals, publishers provided value. Now they do not.

Oh and Spotify is not a counter example. If you could have access to app scientific papers in the world ever published as soon as they are published, but it cost you $10/month we wouldn't be talking about this. It's still too expensive, but in relative terms cheap enough that nobody would give a crap. Subscribing to multiple publications to get a small subset is silly. Imagine if instead of Spotify you had to subscribe to each label's streaming service. Would you?
That's awesome. It was always some weird situation with abstract JVM specification but only one de-facto standard implementation which everyone used. I hope J9 will be a viable alternative, so everyone wins.
"Then one day, while doing surya namaskar, I felt a pain ripping through my spine and fell down, unable to move. I consulted an M.D , and he immediately asked me if I had been doing surya namaskar."

This is important. Yoga is very powerful and I think everyone should incorporate yoga movements into their fitness regime.

However, typical yoga classes and even established yoga movement series (like the Ashtonga primary series) are heavily weighted towards forward folding/bending which is the last thing you want to do with a weak/injured back.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't do yoga - it means that you should understand the physiology of a bulging/blow disc and build up your strength (perhaps with other yoga exercises/poses) to the point that you are strong enough to do that forward folding ... and even then maintain caution and moderation.

With a fully rehabbed/asymptomatic L4/L5 I am doing heavy freeweight squats and deadlifts and even inverting during BJJ - but I would still be cautious and even modify portions of a typical yoga class ...

Its also a nightmare when you rent. Luckily I see more rental properties banning smoking, but they are still in the minority.

Its not just smoke wafting in from neighbors, but also the third hand smoke deposited in the unit you may be exposed to by previous smokers.

For example, its almost impossible to remove the third hand smoke from ventilation systems that use flexible duct tubing because they tear.

The cost of a total clean-up is so high, I bet nobody actually does it correctly. Since there is no transparency in this matter, as a consumer you can't make an educated decision on the unit you area about to rent.
Well, this is my personal opinion but here it goes.

It's not about our rights, it's about public health. Cigarrettes should be illegal, and all the companies making these products shluld be banned. This is costing the entire world millions every month.

I am a smoker. I smoke about a pack everyday. And I've tried quitting more than once, but this thing is more addictive than a lot of substances you can buy on the street. The only reason it's legal is because some people get huge profits from it. If they asked me, I would ban it in a second. In the US there's people in jail for selling a joint in the street, but nobody has done anything to put the people owning the companies who manufacture shit that kills so many people everyday behind bars. I don't get it. I mean, I do, but it just shows how nasty some parts of every goverment are
Sorting by hash will always cluster lines with equal content together, whereas true randomisation won't.

Eg `(seq 3; seq 3; seq 3) | sort -R`.
The lookup method just checks whether an element exists in a collection or not. List and HashSet implement non-indexable collections, which have no notion of key. The Collection interface is very thin, and it's mostly used when you need to keep track of a set of elements. E.g. storing the nodes already visited in a dfs.

There are better ways to eliminate GC pauses than manual memory management (even ignoring the relatively new "pauseless" GCs). See the new RTSJ (realtime Java) specification here: https://www.aicas.com/cms/en/rtsj. Not that it's designed for far stricter requirements than games (cases where even microseconds of unexpected latency may result in actual life safety concerns).

Manual memory management is a good choice if you have both worst-case latency concerns as well as very restricted RAM and/or severe energy constraints (basically, the kind of applications that Rust was designed to handle).
Nobody said Apple is incapable of designing such a system. But that's not the system they have today. It seems your entire argument is based on a hypothetical alternate universe where iOS allowed for user-swappable keys. But that's not what this thread was about, so your entire argument is completely moot.

I did this exact thing (even the part where I displayed the results using Graphviz) to come up with a partial ordering of General Managers of Major League Baseball teams. The partial order was simply:

GM_of_Team A > GM_of_Team B iff (endofseason_ranking (A) > endofseason_ranking(B)) and (budget(A) < budget(B))

So this would capture how much "bang for the buck" a GM is getting. I did it for a couple of years, and not surprisingly, there's quite a bit of year-to-year variability. Teams go through cycles where they increase the budget to capitalize on a favorable situation, but then they get saddled with bad contracts and are disadvantaged in the draft, etc. Still, if you do this over the long term, there could some teams/GMs that are consistently good.

I remember that my first attempt generated really busy diagrams because the ordering is transitive, so if you simply draw an arrow whenever the ordering holds you end up with the transitive closure. A couple of hacks later (basically, add a test to check if this ordering can be obtained by triangulation, and if so, don't display it) I managed to end with the same kind of diagram as the OP.

> Perhaps also explore legalizing marajuana (I think weed should be legal any way but I wonder what effects it would have on tobacco use. I wonder how that body handles a nicotine craving and then ingests marajuana instead.)

This is pretty much one of the main reasons for my tobacco habit. Cannabis is hard to come by where I'm at (not the US), nobody smokes pure because most people don't have reliable enough supply, the supply shortages also make it quite expensive.

That's why lacing the weed with tobacco is very widespread, which leads to the odd situation that most people who want to try weed end up being addicted to tobacco.
How does that shed light on anything? Even if the Cuban government regards them as defectors, does that make them no longer exiles?

Since if you want to reframe the question that way, does the US government - not some people in the US, but the US government - consider Assata Shakur a defector? Or William Morales?

When Eldridge Cleaver fled to exile in Cuba was he considered a defector? Several years later, when he continued his exile but in Algeria, was that another defection?

(Or Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin's exile, first in Cuba than Czechoslovakia; or all the others listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_citizens... .)

If the US does not consider all of those to be defections, then what makes Snowden a defector?
How about the massive opportunity for surveillance? Roving robo-cop cars on dual-use contracts, parking, observing, instantly connecting to a remote operator when a violation is detected. Easily reduces the requirements to be a police officer to somewhere near "can you stare at a computer screen?". In places where the "speed cams" went down in flames (~70% of the vote against where I live) I'm more optimistic the people wont tolerate it, but god help the nanny states. Just to be clear, I sincerely appreciate the dedicated and excellent police out there, many of them share my views on the "speed cams", robo-cops etc.
An interesting detail:

> For this project it is assumed that IoT devices do not have an FPU [...] real in Daspel is a signed two’s-complement 32-bit fixed point number. It uses 16 bits to represent the integer part and 16 bits to represent the fractional part.

That makes sense from an implementation point of view, but it could require a real shift in thinking for programmers, do to the extremely limited range.

If you don't have an FPU, another option could be to use rationals - a pair of half-size integers, where the value is the ratio between them. Has any language tried that? It's sort of simple, but inefficient (because there are many representations for the same value, eg 2/1 and 4/2), and you need to calculate lots of GCDs to prevent overflow. On the other hand, it can exactly represent base-ten fractions, which might be handy.
