Insomnia looks nice, but by default it does not format URLs as links, so in a HATEOAS API you can't follow links.

Am I just missing a setting here? Seems like this is a fairly big omission, Postman even supports copying over your headers (e.g. auth token) when you follow a link.
I also can't stand chromatic aberration in games - especially because it's so freakishly exaggerated compared to actual CA you would experience with old video/photo gear.

A lens that completely separates color channels is defective. It was defective in 1950 and it's defective today, so unless your goal was to replicate the look of hopelessly broken hardware, it's in no way "vintage".

Which I think goes more generally into my issue with game graphics - the taking of interesting effects (depth of field, chromatic aberration, lens flares, etc) and cranking it up to 11 for its own sake.
IMHO, Unicode should not involve itself with emoji at all. Give one code page over to the tech companies, and let them go nuts with whatever pictograms they want, but it's a huge distraction and unrelated to the real goals of Unicode.
The Alcubierre drive might or might not work on our universe; it requires something which may not exist. If it did work, it would also be a time machine, and so far causality has been a safer bet. M-theory is engaging and fascinating, filled with great math, but there is no indication that it describes our reality. Worse, M-Theory flirts with unfalsifiability. All told, when looking at things like the original question raised by the article, we have to look to established theory backed by observation.

Concerns about global overpopulation are not usually about housing, but how much of the total energy in the system can be safely diverted to our uses. I think it is reasonable to be concerned when one species controls a large fraction of the energy in an ecosystem.

I agree with AstralStorm's response, so take the follow-up discussion there.

You asked: "Please show statistics that demonstrate that the ultra wealthy do not have more children than the national average."

First, my argument is that people will decide to not have children even if there are no financial costs limiting them from having more children. This suggests that the cultural costs to have children may be quite high, and therefore it is not always rational to have more children, even for people who might receive money for having children.

To use the same source as before, the Daily Mail, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2759353/Are-YOU-just... :

> The average billionaire is male, 63 years old and married with two kids

https://www.statista.com/statistics/299077/billionaires-chil... breaks it down further with the table "Average number of children of billionaires around the world in 2013": 16% of billionaires have no children, 22% have 1 child, 27% have 2 children, 20% have 3, 9% have 4, and 6% have 5 or more. Assuming the last category is only 5 children, this places a lower bound of 1.8 children per billionaire, so two kids is reasonable.

"The national average" requires picking a nation. I'll choose the US, because billionaires prefer New York over other cities. This analysis is faulty as Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is a billionaire with over 35 children, and Sulaiman Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi has at least 25 children. Neither are from one of the women's rights culture that I mentioned earlier, so the relevant fertility rate is slightly lower.

"The national average" also requires a time, as the fertility rate has changed over time. Those 63+ year olds did not all have children now, so it's invalid to compare the "2 children" to the current rate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate says that in 1999 the fertility rate in the US was 2 children per woman.

A more complete analysis would need also to look at when the children were born.

Still, I believe this is enough to show that hyperrich Westerners - those whose wealth places effectively no limit on the number of children they have - are not appreciably more fertile than other Westerners.

lrzip is a preprocessor that finds matches in the distant past that the backend compressor (xz) couldn't normally find. zstd has a new long range matcher mode inspired by the ideas behind rzip/lrzip with some extra tricks. It produces data in the standard zstd format, so can be decompressed the the normal zstd decompressor. There is a short article about it in the latest release notes https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.3.2

> You would have less traffic in the Valley if there were more apartments, so employees could bike and walk to work.

This assumes that all of the houses vacated by currently commuting employees moving into apartments near transit (and thus becoming non-commuters) would be replaced by people who don't commute. But that's extremely unlikely to be the case.

Furthermore, all of the people living near transit would still drive on occasion, so traffic would almost certainly get worse.
I asked some colleagues and they said no. CF is conductive btw. And at that high of a voltage...

But my intuition would say that Cu adding to CF would not improve its shielding qualities. Especially if it is a mesh. No mesh is going to make the shielding characteristics better because the particles are at such a high frequency.
This is really cool and has a lot of potential. Academic papers are dense and heavily cross-referenced, so experimenting with new display formats that do more to help the reader could make researchers a lot more productive. For example, citation tooltips are a big time saver compared to cross-referencing the bibliography. However, it's also beneficial for every paper to look the same because this makes skimming easier. To get both innovation and consistency is to develop tools, like Arxiv Vanity, that automatically transform the source document. This example makes me hopeful that we'll someday have similar tools for the commercial publishers' papers.

As for immediate tweaks, I tentatively suggest making the text 100% black (like the original PDF) instead of rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8). The higher contrast will help those of us with less-than-great eyes.
I wonder if that's a personal thing? Over the past year, I've been trying to join the mobile revolution - sort of. The majority of my browsing is now done on a tablet.

I read quite a few PDFs and don't actually have any complaints. I am not personally seeing any readability issues and don't mind consuming PDFs at all.

That said, I think I now understand your complaint. Thanks! I just don't personally have any trouble with it. I use multiple tablets, of varied sizes, and I've had good experiences with all of the devices. While some PDFs are horribly formatted, I find that the device choice doesn't help that and it's a design choice from the author.

But, again, thanks for helping me understand.
Deceleration will reduce your available traction which in most cases is better served for steering.
The market would absolutely produce more housing in a lot of places were there not a ton of regulations in place to stop it from doing so.

Err.... I just gave an example of one that wasn't "ignored". The world was divided up between Portugal and Spain by the Pope, never mind that most of it was largely unknown to Europeans at the time, and never mind that it was already populated by millions of people with their own countries and rules of land ownership. And the treaty was effective, to a very large degree. South America is almost entirely Spanish-speaking (except for Brazil, which wound up on the Portuguese side of the line). Many African and Asian countries (former colonies) speak Portuguese.

Not only was it not "ignored", but it's still effective 500 years later.

If such a treaty can be applied to inhabited lands, what makes you think one can't be applied to the lifeless terra nullius of the Moon?
It is a shame that there is no clear information regarding this. I am in Costa Rica (Central America) and would love to use this here.

This is off-topic but is anyone else dealing with an insurmountable number of charge-backs selling digital goods using Stripe? I'm using Radar, Sift Science, email verification, CAPTCHA, post code checks, country and domain restrictions, rate limiting and every other trick in the book and yet reportedly a third of my payments is fraudulent.

The way credit card payments work seems backwards and hopelessly broken. I reached out to Stripe several times but keep getting the same templated response. What gives?
So of your 'six' citations, [1] is a book I don't have access to, [2] and [4] aren't citations at all, and [5] and [6] has nothing to say about companies getting better at their thing.

It doesn't say much for 'being easy' when you have to pad out your list of six with two non-citations, two irrelevant citations, and a difficult-to-source one.

> When you eventually provide evidence for your claim that people exercise their willpower less, I won't require citations for everything.

"When I give you evidence, you won't require evidence"?

It's worth noting that I didn't demand evidence for the original claim; I only demanded it as an illustrative point to people that were demanding it of me.

Yup. I agree. I even find the experience fantastic on the original iPad, as well as a brand new one. I find it just fine on my phone, which isn't nearly as large a screen.

If you want to advocate for a state law that requires all new commercial development be accompanied by corresponding residential development close enough that workers can commute by transit or bicycle, I would totally support that. I think it would be a hard sell, but might be doable.

Stripped of the vim baggage (yes, I know vim; yes, I stopped using it as my primary editor in the 1990's), it comes down to:

1. Learn to use the code navigation features of your environment (or get a better environment).

2. Learn to use incremental search and replace in your environment (or get a better environment).

4. Make autocomplete work in your environment (or get a better environment).

3. Make your often used actions one click or one command.

For (1) and (3), Visual Studio and IntelliJ are by far the best options available. (2) seems to be fine in any modern editor. For (4), acme is the best I've seen: you write your commands in a buffer, and click on the ones you want when you want them. If the buffer is a small one at the top of the window, it's the menu bar.

Signal is honestly pretty close. The "failures" are usually design choices that would only affect actual infosec people, which the developers are explicitly not trying to court.
I'm going to answer this despite not being the parent. I've looked into this problem area 2 years apart now. The first time I came across swagger 2 and some Ruby toolings to automatically turn source code annotations (not comments) into my api docs.

I was hoping to not do this 2 years later so really looked hard into it. I was dismayed to find that all of the good looking out of the box tools required writing docs by hand, no generation! I looked back into swagger 2 and found great success this time around. A few things were important:

1. Building the API how I wanted which involved integrating docs into the actual functionality. For instance, all params and response attributes are defined in the code and then turned into documentation later.
2. Spending time to get the docs how we wanted them, not just going with the stock.
3. Not being afraid to break the spec with custom json descriptions when necessary. Not pretty but entirely functional.

We do not use swagger for auto generation or testing, only documentation. I do not think that the current swagger UI implementation is attractive and think they're missing hard by not spending more time on the design style that is trending now. The spec itself is solid.

I'm going to promote the blog post I wrote about it. Feel free to not read it if you're not into self promotion. https://medium.com/salesloft-engineering/building-the-new-sa...
A black hole is a fast scrambler and very quickly comes to thermal equilibrium (max entropy). However, the complexity continues to increase long after thermal equilibrium, and that's what is thought to be analogous to the length of the wormhole growing (at the speed of light, no less).

In this case "what the server produces" was already defined and I was not given a mandate to change it prior to v1.0. Also, the server implementation was a bit messy and mostly undocumented.

So I worked "backwards" in the sense that I put myself in the perspective of a consumer of the information it serves and then documented the server's behavior with OpenAPI. Certainly, in the process I made much reference to the Python code used to implement the server's endpoints, but some of the endpoints' quirks were discovered in the process of precisely describing (with OpenAPI) their inputs and outputs.
You really think the problem of refusing to build more housing in San Francisco would be solved if only you could get rid of the right-wingers who have run the place for years?

Fellow Pelotech coder Joachim has put together an implementation in this post that's pretty slick with containers, dotnetcore, using Projet Rider and only MacOS & Linux. This gets some .NET microservices deployed in ways that until recently weren't possible with .NET.

... and from your link, almost all the countries were over 20% in 1975 as well. Plenty of them have barely changed.

> but the rate is still up more than 20% since 1975. 18.5% for adults in 1975 vs 21.8% in 2016

Nitpick: a rise of 20% on that 18.5% would make it 22.2%

Edit: I'm also not sure why the 20% marker seems to be your cutoff for "having an obesity problem". Ethiopia's famous famine went from 1983-85, yet their obesity rate for '85 is 18.7%. That seems to be an awful thin line to walk, where 18.7% marks a famine and 20% marks obesity problem.

Similarly, the Second Congo War went from 1999 to 2003 and almost 4 million people died, mostly from famine.. yet throughout that, the Democratic Republic of the Congo maintained obesity rates above 20% in your link.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the design :(

The existing example is a full working example, the only thing that needs to be set are the curve parameters.

To make it work:

- Go to tools
- Load the example
- Go to Term Structures
- Go to submenu Generate Curve
- Select DiscountCurve, December 11th of 2012 as date and the curve you want
- Generate the curve

I just added a message with a brief explanation of it.

Rates are there too, you can see them if you go to Term Structure Rates and select December 11th of 2012, they are also from the paper.

Interesting, so that's a similar approach to Galvanize. Wonder what type of synergy they see here.
Mainly network, as others have said. But there are also scientific applications that are more appropriate for distributed computing (don't need the fast interconnect), but get run on supercomputers anyway because of data locality (post-processing/analysis) or grant structures.

The cool thing here (hopefully) is that it makes it easy to have both: HPC/supercomputer for jobs that need that and cheaper/easier cloud resources for jobs that don't.

Really? I find that ROS is hugely over-complicated.
You do need a threshold, but I would argue the main risks to trust beyond that are in mining consolidation into powerful blocks, forks, etc.
Where the “issues” in question consist of things like “some field is 64 bits wide even though there won’t be 2^64 values in practice”, and “very slightly less likely to detect corrupted data” (but still extremely likely; anyway, since neither xz nor lzip can correct errors, I hope your long term storage ensures integrity at a different level).

Meanwhile, xz is seekable and lzip is not. Both formats use the same compression algorithm under the hood, so size differences are minimal. And lzip is licensed under GPLv3, which means it cannot become a universally adopted standard, which is surely important for long-term storage.

When you say the results weren't even close, and if you have time and don't mind, could you share some numbers/elaborate on that?

My experience with HPC is fairly limited, compared to what I think you're discussing. In my case, it was things like blade servers which was a cost decision. We also didn't have the kind of connectivity and speeds that you have available today.

(I modeled traffic at rather deep/precise levels.)

So, if you have some experience numbers AND you have the free time, I'd love to learn more about the differences in the results? Were the benefits strictly time? If so, how much time are we talking about? If you had to personally pay the difference, which one would you select?

Thanks for giving me some of your time. I absolutely appreciate it.

Using dual port adapters, you can do a three-node Infiniband ring with no routers involved and get full speed. Dual port FDR (40 Gbit/s) cards are about $150 on Ebay nowadays. If you've bought the hardware to warrant needing such a setup (i.e. 3 dual-socket Xeon servers), that's a very negligible cost.
