First thing is that you need to know your prescription. Seiko Trivex has a range from

Sphere Power: +1.00 to -4.00
Cylinder Power: +2.00 to -2.00
Extended Range Available

If you're ADDing for a laptop distance that needs to be added in.

Look at the online sites and look at the lens choices:

http://www.eyeglasslensdirect.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=282

So I really like Trivex over standard polycarbonate or plastic.

http://www.eyeglasslensdirect.com/Trivex-Single-Vision-Lense...

You can easily drill Trivex so you can have rimless if you want. Polycarbonate cracks more easily.

So know your prescription and frame type. Learn about lens materials, lens types (single vision, progressives, free form, ...), tints, coatings, .... This seems like a lot to know but imagine your optometrist trying to figure out everything in 20 minutes. It's better if you do some homework.

All that said, I went to Berkeley and I use their School of Optometry. They don't mind at all if I ask questions and if I'm pretty direct.
That's essentially how they worked before instant electronic funds verification. Old timers like me remember when retailers would pull out a large metal slab with a cut out area for the card. They would put a piece of paper over it with blue carbon paper between two sheets and pull a slide from one side to the other, making an imprint of the numbers onto the piece of paper for the customer to sign. One copy would go to the customer, the other would be kept with the retailer.

For a while after electronic transactions companies would lug them out when the "lines were down," but I haven't seen one in quite a while.

So you think the problem lies in obese people being unaware of how much they weigh?

Actually, yes. Maybe not obese, but everyone compares themselves to the general population. In a society where everyone's carrying a couple of stone more than is really healthy, noone thinks of themselves as "fat", they think they're just average.

Going to switch over to the beta for a week and see how I get on.

From first impressions though, I'm very impressed by how snappy it feels.

One downside is a personal site I host uses client side certs for auth, and that stopped working in Firefox (whereas it was fine in Chrome), turns out the Javascript fetch API needs you to structure the request like

`fetch(someUrl, { credentials: 'include' })`

So I had to go through the code to fix that.

Presumably this is a web standard that Firefox is adhering to, whereas Chrome is a bit more relaxed on this?
Both Chrome and Safari started with extant, open-source projects.

Do you have a good sense as to how disaster relief is going? I sure as hell don't. I also have no idea just how hard it is to do.

Maybe, relative to other disaster relief it's going really well? Maybe it's terrible. I sure as hell can't tell from what the media is saying (probably because they don't know either).
I'm old fashioned. Pen and paper. Take notes, recall from memory and review with decreasing regularity until it becomes base knowledge. If my brain feels like it's hurting that's good :)
We did the same thing here in CHA. Luckily, we won the battle of lobbying and politics—and even a court case against Comcast. We fibered up the whole county. Sadly, telcos then lobbied for legislation to prevent expanding outside our service area, and they won. Now our legislators have given Comcast & AT&T $45M what our municipal broadband could do at zero cost to taxpayers. It’s ridiculous.
Nope. It is not FUD. Different people react differently. But having gone through dry-eyes hell, I'd not take any risks.
Moderation and a comparatively egalitarian approach are quintessential Danish qualities, all too often thoughtlessly maligned and ridiculed.
The fact is, for better or worse, these traits have served us well as a functioning society for the last thousand years, and in my guess, far longer back than that. A few data points:
The last Danish regent or head of government to die violently was king Erik Klipping. The date may resonate with some Americans. It was the 22nd of November. But it was in the year 1286.
We have had no real civil warfare since the late viking age. Some unrest leading up to the reformation ("Count's Feud") was actually a war against North Germans. The reformation itself was settled fairly amicably. No real bloodshed, the monks and nuns were often allowed to stay in their monastries for as long as they lived.
No pitched battles in 1848/49. A delegation went and saw the king. A democratic constitution was announced.
An overwhelming majority of Danish jews escaped unharmed to neutral Sweden in 1943, a thing only possible because of a quiet but widespread support in the general population.

Really, we haven't done too badly. But it's not a societal model particularly well geared towards the present day influx of large numbers of people with quite different and often more muscular attitudes to everyday interictions.
Like any intervention to the human body, there are risks. Properly maintained and adjusted, contacts carry very few risks.

Anecdotally, I've yet to find a pair of glasses that lets me function in the world as well as contacts. (My eyesight is poor enough that I cannot see the screen on my phone with both eyes open, as it has to be so close to one eye that it is too far from the other.) Wearing contacts lets me see the entirety of my world, not just the portion within the frame of my glasses.

Low melting point also makes it relatively easy to re-form and test for purity if that becomes necessary.
A block is connected or chained to the previous block by using the previous block's hash and connected to the next block by providing it's hash. So the immutability comes after the fact ie once the block is created.

So at N + M block, changing the Nth block means all M blocks will become corrupted and needs to be changed or recalculated. The consensus or the p2p will come in the way of re-doing the blocks as everyone except the attacker will be at N+M. So unless everyone agrees there will be no way to change those blocks ie forced immutability.

Though the part people have hard time getting their head that there is never a single blockchain in existence. At a given point there are multiple blockchains existing but only the block with "most work" or the most difficult to calculate hash is added to the main chain. That is why the "confirmations" are required for a payment. The older a block gets, the probability of it getting added to the chain is higher. In bitcoin depending on the site, some take 6 confirmations or 6 blocks before being sure that the coin cannot be double spent.

Do you blink regularly when staring at a screen for long hours? This helps in all situations (no glasses, glasses and especially with contacts where moisture is critical).

The natural blink reflex can be supplemented with an external reminder, similar to alarms that remind you to stand for a few minutes, or focus your eyes at infinity to balance out the close monitor.

>using (or not) an alm in an organization isn't about "throughput", it's about "accepting" a company's policy assertions.

I don't think that equating it from the reverse direction works. Here's why:

Using the article's count of ~4000 developers, let's consider all software companies that employ 4000+ developers as part of a "natural experiment"[1]. This includes companies and organizations like MS, Facebook, NASA, SAP, Oracle, etc.

Each company "votes" in the marketplace of ideas to coordinate software development for a complex project. One company might use JIRA. Another uses MS Team Foundation. Another uses FogCreek. Maybe another employer might use SMTP emails similar to Linux kernel development.

Since companies have every incentive to develop software with cost-efficiency and velocity, they will want to use the best workflow possible.

Since no single software company I know of uses SMTP emails as their ALM workflow, it either means that (1) companies are wasting money & losing iteration velocity by avoiding email -- or -- (2) the Linux kernel community has special circumstances that makes using a true unified ALM unrealistic. I believe that special circumstance is: 4000 programmers work for different employers instead of a single employer.

The problem is that YouTube isn’t a monopoly. There’s other video sharing sites available such as Vimeo. Also, everyone uses YouTube and private companies don’t have to respect the freedom of speech ideal.
What's stopping them is of course that they can't compete with non-profits that are being subsidized by the state. (Which I don't disagree with). Sure, it is a tradition, but like many things it's enabled by the laws on the books.

For instance the school system isn't very egalitarian, at least not in Stockholm, these days (nor is the housing market for that matter). The school system is quite different compared to e.g. Finland. The laws changed and so did the quality of different school. "Grade inflation" is very common etc.

How can deferring checks of correctness to runtime be considered a feature? Haskell has an option to defer type errors to runtime, so I don’t see why early binding wouldn’t be preferable, since you can have it as you like.

My life quality has increased substantially since switching from Python to Haskell, and no longer getting runtime crashes saying “AttributeError: <x> has no attribute <y>”.

Did I say anything about PHP?! I mentioned Symfony but that's contrary too the point (and a fine example of over-engineering, btw...).

I took a look at the Ocsigen Ocaml web framework long ago though, and I was like "jeeez, wtff"... the language may seem cool, but that thing... ugh... But I can't really have an opinion on that since the only truly functional languages I've really played with were dynamic (Clojure and Erlang), static + functional is not really my area of experience.

A significant fraction of iOS/macOS/tvOS is now relegated to kernel extensions and this trend has only been increasing -- HFS+ IIRC is now in a (closed source) kext and APFS has been from the start. So while it's admirable that Apple is more actively using Github, this is by no means demonstrative of Apple open sourcing their crown jewels. Running a custom kernel on anything but macOS would still be a herculean amount of work.
It looks like the SEC is starting with the worst scammers. They've also been phoning up ICO promoters, and having a little talk about what's a security.

CoinMarketCap lists values for 265 known tokens.[1] The biggest market cap is OmiseGo, for which a market cap of over $1 million is claimed. As far as I can tell, owning an OmiseGo token lets you do absolutely nothing.

As a joke. someone did an ICO of the Useless Etherium Token. It's totally worthless. They tell you that up front. They raised $95K.[2]

Believe it or not, diesel (and regular gas) is perishable. It starts to degrade as soon as 30 days without additives. It's still usable for a while though. Assuming a long term (lifetime) apocalypse, most of it will go bad eventually.

Ammunition is tricky because there are so many "denominations" (i.e. calibers). It would certainly come in handy. One of the biggest benefits of the M16 for the US military was that it was standardized, meaning every branch used it and they all used the same caliber.

I think canned food would be important too. Quite a revolutionary concept we take for granted (we can thank Napoleon). Fun fact, canned food was invented 48 years before the can opener.

I think drugs and alcohol would be a huge currency. Always have been in one form or the other.

Of course most people in cities would be hosed after the canned food ran out, unless there was a severe population drop.

Paypal is pretty frictionless, but it still takes ~15-20 sec to do the 3 clicks through 3 slow-to-load Paypal pages (1: paypal button, 2: page to specify amount, 3: confirmation page). By contrast, a click on the Bitcoin address opens my local Bitcoin wallet which opens up instantaneously, and clicking send is also instantaneous. Total ~3 sec. The difference between ~15-20 and ~3 sec is enough to make me prefer BTC over Paypal.

I don't need the ability to dispute: I am not going to change my mind later about this donation.

I don't need to buy BTC: like many bitcoin users I already have some in my possession, ready to be spent at any time.

Dynamic types can be more problematic to modify, but many of us find them easier to read: assume that the code actually worked and does something reasonable, now skim for the gist of it (without having to see a bunch of extra detail).

Assembler is untyped (just bytes and words). I'm not big into Python, but I'm pretty sure it has types, but they are late/runtime bound.

Dynamic types are probably not a good choice for an army of idiots, but if dynamic types were so completely unworkable, you would think that they would disappear, eh?

That said, I'd rather see avionics written in Ada than Python, but not every problem needs that level of scrutiny and pain.

For coordinating, I’ll grant the internet +10. For effectively and meaningfully communicating, it gets -100. The state of public discourse is abysmal, and the modes of internet communication do not substantially improve this. Sure, you can use the internet to get a group of tiki torch-wielding people into the same area pretty easily. But there’s no substance or depth of consideration in the public sphere. Everyone immediately opts for vitriol, vilification, and rage-stoking simplistic phrasing to make everything black and white. It’s far more satisfying to the masses, it seems, to absolve themselves of the responsibility to recognize and grapple with nuance.

No problem, I'm happy to share what I've learned!

Yeah, connecting to the web can be stressful to a small device, but it's very feasible. A basic OS that handles timers, a communication stack, a way to abstract tasks and communicate between them, can be quite small. Contiki OS for small devices can run on tiny devices - the amount of RAM and flash and CPU speed isn't much a limiting factor until you start with communication. Then you want RAM to hold queues of packets, neighbor tables, etc. You want flash to hold the code necessary to use the protocols you need. We support a range of devices at Thingsquare, eg the cc1310 with 128kB flash and for that we have space for a full-fledged IPv6 stack and all that's necessary for low-power wireless (ie specific radio duty cycling protocol, routing protocol, etc), our own libraries and abstractions to make it simpler for customers to use the system, with room left for customer application and drivers.

Contiki OS is event-based, ie when it is not actively doing something, it simply waits (for something to happen on a physical pin, or radio event, or timer expiry) and can go to sleep. That way, and with lots of hard work to make everything efficient on every level, you save power. Raspberry pi and similar ones makes it simpler (lots of developers know the stuff, linux, etc) but has drawbacks (power, complex system, lack of low-level control and kernel timing requirements might not suffice, cost, IP, in some cases security, licensing, etc).

Fair point. I like this view. Seeing all the anecdotal ways people have gotten themselves out of severe episodes may not work for the person seeking help, but it may give them enough hope to keep looking for the next approach before calling it quits for good.
