It's great because it bundles mass email, automated email and a CRM into one so you don't have to run around stitching a bunch of pieces together.

798 of then fortunately with minor or moderate injuries including more than 30 policemen (updated, it seems that were more than 400 policemen in fact, but there is not still an impartial count), and sadly 2 people with serious injuries.

2 seriously injured == millions murdered?

If you want to bang your head repeatedly against the walls and trow chairs against policemen, please don't tell me that is my fault if you end the day with some scratches, a headache, a panic attack or something worst.

There is a great solution for this, avoid being deliberately (with your little kids not less!) in a place where something illegal is happening and was publicly announced. Avoid to participate in the scam and specially to mock and challenge the police in their faces (with the obvious goal to elicit a violent reaction for advertising purposes), and you will be OK. Take care of yourself and think twice before to act.

Independentists are irresponsably scalating their constant provocation and salivating since years with the idea of a militar intervention with shiny tanks and hundreds of people murdered (preferibly non-indepentendist people). Thus they could finally justify having their much dreamed war of secession, doing a little clean of the zone, and feeling like warfare heros in their neighborhood. This is not what happened yesterday, thanks to all deities.

And today the basques had also asked for a referendum to be recognised as nation. As expected. Great.

8 hours when I have time. 7 to 4 in a crunch. I try to control the sleep debt and pay it off ASAP, or next weekends.

Lack of sleep has a noticeable effect on productivity (especially error rate). When I was younger I did not notice it so vividly, which I ascribe strictly to improved introspection.

One of the best vacations in my life, after a particularly hard project, involved having 12-16 hours of sleep every day, for two weeks, without any drugs; just a calm winter forest away from civilization. It did wonders to my productivity and cognitive ability. In 6 months past it I quickly learned a huge bunch of apparently hard things that propelled me for years after that.
It's suprising anti-monopoly laws have not kicked in yet. The is no point in having laws if they are not going to be applied.

Maybe it's in the governments immediate interest to not rein in a global stalker vacuuming up the world's personal information to have access but paying lip service fundamentally undermines and discredits your own principles and governance systems.

Giving in to temporary expedience is a losing end game as other governments will inevitably take action to protect their citizens data. Democracy and capitalism only work if you do what it says on the tin, or you will have to resort to increasingly undemocratic methods to hold on ie bullying, bribing and doing deals with other countries not to take action. Ultimately citizens everywhere lose.

Absolute power corrupts helping build more monopolies and its in Google's and its own employees interests that they are split up. Search, Youtube, Maps and Android come to mind.

Well observed. ;) Before opening the conversation here, my mind and my lips had a "But why?" perfectly synchronized. I must say the explanation, as unpleasant as it was, perfectly fit the link!
Used to be 9h per day for decades. Any more and I'd feel strangely groggy (unproductive), my body cannot deal with oversleeping.

Lately I experimented with a 1h nap after lunch (I'm getting old!), and can report that I feel equally refreshed with only 6h of sleep a night.

So, 7h total now, but split into two 1+6 sessions. It feels great to have 2 extra hours per day!
My friend in film production tells me that his shop does a ton of editing on iMacs despite the premium on hardware. He is an enthusiast and has built his own editing PC, but he tells me the iMacs are rock-solid and never give them any trouble, despite the specs being worse on paper than some other editing machines.

I think that the consistency, quality, and software integration are worth a lot to businesses, especially mid-size businesses that don't have an entire IT department to fix issues that come up, and in these contexts, having a reliable computing monoculture means you can just focus on business.

I won't be surprised if iMac Pros do make it into plenty of business contexts.

- Chart is greyed out on my data. Why is that?

- Can I provide parameters (such as a date) in the query that can be changed by whoever wants to run a report? I can't see how to do this.

I want to be an unmitigated fanboy, but I agree. We need an upgradable package. My PC gaming rig is going on 10 years now, after 2 GPU upgrades. That's a lot of bang-for-buck.
Yes I can understand it with compactness of mabook aris (I also have one), but with such expensive desktop, I would want to keep the possibility to repair and upgrade. When motherboard, display or any non standard soldered component dies, you have to replace the whole thing probably..
Because of optimization and such. The 17 inch Mac Pro was only 5% of their Mac Pro market, so they cancelled it. A shame if you ask me, still hoping they revive it at some point.
The kind of query where it fails (and where it especially hurts) is queries like `getLatestNotifications`. It would be a lot of cruft added to prevent this kind of bugs.

So, yes, you know which one is bad, but it's not a query that's failing, it's something inside the result.
My biggest problem with sleep is the fixed working schedule I have to follow. The 9-to-5 is killing me. It's not that there isn't enough time to sleep, it's that I cannot convince my body to go to sleep if it doesn't feel like it. Just last night I stood awake till 5 a.m. unable to fall asleep despite all efforts. The problem is that my natural clock seems to be working on a 26-7 hours per day cycle and I cannot fit this properly into the regular working hours. This leads to general accumulation of tiredness during the week and on Friday I need a total reset by going to bed early. At least now I know what to look for in future job opportunities.
5 hours on a bad night. 7 on a good night. Not including the 50 or so minutes awake in the middle of the night.

I'm extremely unproductive on the days I get 5 hours, and can work around 4 hours/day when I get 7. I'd probably be extremely productive if I can get 9 hours of sleep.
To all the people banging on about upgrades... exactly what in the name of silica are you working on that this machine can not possibly handle for the next 5 years? What could you possibly want to upgrade? And what are you currently running?
8hrs minimum, sometimes 9hrs. Anything less and I drag all day until I get a nap.
8 hours minimum, anything less than that I feel like crap. I also NEVER get sick. Ever.
More abstractly, I enjoyed a description of a text editor in a Categories for Computer Science class I took waay back.

It's two stacks head to head. Moving the cursor is popping on one and and pushing on the other. All the other operations were given too. There were the category diagrams and everything -- the meat of which I've forgotten but I might be able to find if anyone is interested.
I looked through the settings and I couldn't find this switch. There doesn't appear to be any way to stop people from tagging you in photos. All you seem to have control over is your own timeline - whether people can add to it, and who can see stuff from it.

Terms like "liberal" and "conservative" can encompass up to 100 million very different people. Practically even if most people are understanding and kind (which honestly has been my experience) there still will be a huge minority that are militaristic assholes. I think there theoretically could be ideas that people care about but aren't divisive but I'm not sure that realistically it could happen

5 hours a night. Physically can't sleep more.
I'm pretty useless if I get less than 5 hours of sleep. Anymore than that and I'm good to go. I shoot for about 9ish hours of sleep a night, I typically have a sleepless night every 10 days where I'm up at 330 until the next sleep.

The difference is that it's a one-time upfront situation, whereas the current monetary systems in place have permanent ongoing rewards: the US federal reserve system where a select few chosen long ago have a permanent guaranteed income return that is written into law.

I'd rather have transparency and one-time benefit to a select few than a permanent, secretive benefit.

The US federal reserve system works pretty well and I don't really have a huge problem with it. My point is simply that the downsides to cryptocurrencies you rightly highlight have to be viewed in context of the current alternatives.

While running Camarades/ww.com I got by with 3 to 5 hours of sleep per night, usually because I could not fall asleep and then finally I'd fall asleep near daybreak and then sleep until 11 am. This was pretty terrible, combined with flying back and forth between Canada and the Netherlands it really drained me. It's not that I spent less time in bed, I just could not sleep until I was physically overwhelmed.

I'm in better physical shape now than back then, cycle more, eat better and no longer have the crazy travel schedule and I'm sleeping much better now, usually 6 to 7 hours but it still isn't 'normal' in that I often am awake in the middle of the night and sleep during the day, especially when work is more demanding.

Productivity has never really been an issue, no matter what the sleep regime was.

Very much agree with your comment here...but I'd add that the thinking behind email was to idealistically connect people, while IM was to connect people specifically for the purposes of making money, building a business, etc. I wish the feeling behind email still existed, at least in an altruistic sense...Nowadays, it seems like everyone is simply jumping on whatever platform is the hottest of the moment. My daughter and her friends constantly have to jump between a handful of proprietary "messaging" platforms to contact each other...and of course as a curmudgeon Dad, i remind her that "in my day", we would just ping each other via email, and we liked it by gum! ;-) Seriously though, I sure hope we all standardize on something like matrix.org (the protocol) for both short-term/fast-paced (IM/chat-style) messaging as well as the longer form style of classic email. One platform (and client) - based on something like matrix - to rule all of my messaging needs would be so awesome!
Joe Rogan has talked about this at length on his show several times, and had Robert Sapolsky as a guest to talk about this.

Machine Learning with Go – Just Released
I started measuring my sleep this year.

The data is as follows:

I feel well and I can focus if I sleep for 8:00-8:30 hours. If I sleep less than 7:00-7:30 hours per day I feel unwell and I cannot concentrate. In between 7:30-8:00 hours I can somewhat concentrate but not for too long.

Sleeping longer over weekends does not work for me, since I still wake up at (usually) about the same time every day. So I still sleep about the same time every day.
The article mentions the difference between operational and product analytics, his complaints of real-time data are only for product analytics.

(I hope) No one in the article or this thread is suggesting your uptime or error metrics should be on a 24 hour delay.

The oldest forms of scripture we’ve found are mesopotamian clay tablets depicting the debts of people relative to eachother (John still needs to pay back Don for that ox he got last year). They were stored in temples and administered by the clergy... centrally.

Ooh, I read about this in a neuroscience text book I've been nibbling at for a few months now. Really cool to see a Nobel prize for something I've just recently studied.

Isn't it cool how gene systems are hybrid digital/analog computers?
Impressive engineering to get that kilowatt-level power envelope into what looks literally like an envelope.

Then the next question: is the target audience really there?

The people who need 18 cores + a pro graphics card are the people who used to have mac pros (or still use them). These people care about expandable and replacable things, and most of all they want to use a screen with several computers because these pro screens cost a ton (Often more than the machine if you want a screen for e.g. video color grading or really serious photo work).

If the screen on this thing isn't up for the task ,then it's an expensive useless addition. If it is that good, then it's a waste to throw it out in 2 years when you replace the machine.

I mean I'm not saying this thing won't sell like hotcakes because it's an impressive machine and a not-very-price-sensitive customer group. But it just feels like they could have stuck these bits into the last mac pro tower, painted it black and had this product out sooner and cheaper than this?
Interesting article. There's really no best way to do this and it depends on the project and team in my opinion. How big is the team? How experienced is the team? How likely is it developers working on separate features are going to cause merge conflicts? How painful are merges? How big an impact is it if a bug gets on to production?
This is extremely similar to the 'microscopic planner for shell' that I wrote and often use.

I also add a few aliases to make it even quicker:

alias mcr='mplan create'
alias msh='mplan show'
alias mrm='mplan remove'

This will provide (in my opinion) both a very simple way to take notes and a somewhat mature and usable note taking 'program'.
Between 7-8 hours usually. My son tends to get up at 5:30am, so the rest of the household does too. It was 4:30am this morning, though. Teething pain :(

That pretty much means my wife and I went from about a midnight bedtime to 9pm, which makes us feel really old & boring but it's the only way to make sure we have enough sleep to have a happy, productive day.

If I don't get enough sleep, my Tourette Syndrome gets worse. I also tend to get depressed & a little grouchy. It affects my decision making, and I have too many people depending on me to let that happen.
Whoops, you're right on the price. I was looking at the pre-order price. The used iPhone market is really that strong?
7-8 hours every night.
If I sleep 4 to 5 hours I am equally as productive as when I sleep 7 to 8 hours however I can only keep that up for a couple days, before loss of productivity.
And yet in the not too unrecent past, businesses where willing to spend a considerable premium on hardware that came with the promise that similar configurations would still be available two years later.

(Also, when was the last time you saw the state of the art "racing"? Reducing the update cycle to meaningful increments is the only way to keep the interest in new generations high without getting lost in pointless novelty features because you just got to fill that annual presentation somehow)
The cooling system looks similar to what's in a 1U server. It will be incredibly loud under load but it probably won't throttle.
It still has enough available resources (that we know of) to do well. And getting people to emigrate won't be an issue at all. Think of it like nuclear technology; developing an atomic bomb isn't difficult at all since the physics has been done 70+ years ago. Now it's just a matter of engineering. Same with building up an infrastructure on Mars. Somethings like large foundries probably won't need to be replicated, since 3d printing will probably suffice, but off the top of my head, I can't think of any technology that is out of reach.
There are a lot more nuances than your analysis admits, and one is the assumed inflection of the speaker.

Consider "Does anyone know Y?". Depending on how it is said, it could be either a straightforward question about whether anyone knows Y, or with an upward inflection on "anyone" it could mean "I doubt anyone knows Y, but it's possible someone does."

With that same inflection on a person's name, "Does even Person know Y?" has the same meaning as your "Does even X not know Y?"
6.5 to 7 hours during the work week, and I notice my productivity drops off after two days or so. Productivity drop off manifests as worsened ability to focus and making decisions, and by my mood getting bad in general, which can also affect collaboration with others.

On the weekend I sleep up to 11 or even 12 hours in the first night, and 9 to 10 in the second. During holidays, 9 hours seem to be the sweet spot for me, which adjusts itself to be between 2.30am and 11.30am.

I'd like to sleep more during the week, but I just cannot get myself into bed before midnight. I don't feel tired enough and frankly I'm afraid of lying awake too long and being alone with my thoughts.

I'm also guaranteed to have a bad day when I don't have enough time before leaving for work. I need at least 1, better 1.5 hours between getting out of bed and leaving for work, plus a 30 minute commute by bike. This also limits my ability to sleep enough during the week.

Nothing prevents you from having a constantly synced "master" branch and a carefully curated "release" branch. Nothing, except the effort required for curating.

But between that and the pain of having several long-running parallel dev branches that tend to diverge, cross-pollinate in weird ways, have hard time merging to the production branch, etc, my choice is obvious.
exactly what in the name of silica are you working on that this machine can not possibly handle for the next 5 years?

The whole point is I have no idea exactly what I'll be working on 5 years from now or what kind of machine it might need. But what I do know for certain is that the things I'm doing today would have been extremely tricky to do on a machine from 5 years ago.
After learning about the perverse incentives for publishing scientific papers, I find it extremely difficult to trust new research. Any tips for reversing this mindset? I know it's not too great to be feeling this way.

Scientists have immense incentives for publishing new results. As someone quipped, "there is no cost in getting something wrong; the cost is not being published."

Toxoplasmosis in particular seems intuitively like the perfect combination of new research plus massive prestige for whoever publishes papers on the topic. And we can't trust articles written on the topic either; they do little more than parrot whatever the scientists say, and don't really cast a critical eye on the methodology or findings.

Which makes sense. I mean, how could they? None of us are experts the way a scientist is an expert. But it used to be a hobby of mine to dig through research papers and find subtle inconsistencies. Take fatal familial insomnia, for example. It's not fatal due to the insomnia. That's a misnomer. But the fact that it wasn't related to the insomnia was buried on the 7th page of the report as basically a footnote.

I don't know. I just wish it were easier to take a lot of this at face value.
7-9 hours. I require less sleep when I look after my body and eat healthily. For those who struggle to sleep, you may want to look into meditation when you are in bed. Effectively you focus on a single point and slowly your mind clears, kinda feels like it's shutting down regions. Then sleep comes naturally after, takes me about 20 mins with this technique. Concentrate on your heartbeat or breathing, and know that the more you do it the easier it gets.
