> Marxist theory would have illuminated the trajectory many years ago had they the wits to apply the thought to their own situation.

Faculty members are not in control of their own situation. I'm sorry to sound a bit rude here, but you're being a bit oblivious. Faculty are under the rule of law of the administration. That is who their boss is and that is whose rules they follow. They don't get to choose the class hierarchy and power dynamics of their job same as you or I. If it were that easy to disrupt a power imbalance, then Marxism would be a lot more than just a theoretical framework. More importantly, academics are the very definition of the type of people who "get their head stuck in the clouds". They care about their work at the expense of every other aspect of their lives, expecting them to apply the same critical lens to their lives (which they are likely somewhat comfortable in) is very naive. Even Marx goes out of his way to emphasize that the means of production must be "seized" - there has to be great motivation to change the power dynamic. For professors, it can be hard to get them to care about anything that doesn't directly affect their research.

> When I was in school, talking about my student loan problems was looked down on as 'showing my class.'

The faculty have no control over your student loans. They are not the ones who charge you. And in my own experience, my professors were very enthusiastic about me talking about my issues with student loan debt. Are you sure it wasn't just in the wrong class / awkward timing? I brought this stuff up in a course on class dynamics and got plenty of positive feedback - where you say something is just as important as what you say after all.

You should redirect some of your frustration at the University's administration. Professors and faculty are getting screwed in a lot of the same ways as you, so why do you choose to get upset at them and their talk about "Marxism". They're academics whose heads are up in the clouds, what do you expect?
It's a good thing Eddie Bernays never ran Google
If this ever catches on, i have even more reason to disable all javascript while browsing on my laptop and on battery.

As it is javascript is the number one reason for shit battery life, I don't want to make that even worse than the days of flash which its rapidly already become today.

> I believe that OwnVideo is an important experiment in letting users retake control of their video content and in helping make the internet more decentralized, as it was originally designed.

I wonder how Google feels about vloggers leaving their platform, and if they would actively try to stop them, e.g. by downranking videos that refer to videos on other websites.
How do you like shopittome btw? We're working on a similar service for higher end fashion, but aim to be more personalized with product types, colors, styles..etc:

Would love to hear what you think (currently in beta on fb messenger)
The main reason the Alto and other Xerox PARC machines provided so much functionality with so little code is the
designers were quite ruthless about simplification and providing just
one best way to do everything, which all programs then had to use. There weren't any huge programs - they didn't need
them. Those systems were very unlike Linux or any modern platform. For example Linux plus its typical userland provides perhaps seventeen dozen different ways to put text on a screen. The Alto solved that problem once and for all in microcode, and then all Alto software used that one solution and nothing else. That's where the savings came from: they decided in advance what they needed and then
designed the whole techology stack together to provide that in the most parsimoniious way: from the GUI through the
programming language and compiler and display hardware and
CPU hardware, machine instruction set down to microcode - it was all designed together from a bird's eye view of what the
entire finished system was supposed to look like. All done by a small group of people in a short time. It's a completely different process from the decades of accretion
in Linux and other modern platforms.

To respond to your technical questions about microcode. Microcode (and CISC architectures in general) are motivated
by making the compiled binary programs as small as possible - each single machine instruction can do a lot because it runs a lot of microcode. The optimal set of machine instructions isn't settled once and for all, it depends on available technology. The Alto only had 128 kilobytes of RAM, so it was crucial to design an instruction set where compiled programs were as small as possible. So (I recall) their CPU used
a stack rather than a lot of registers because then most operands could be implicit - that saves a couple of bytes
in a typical instruction. Now that gigabyte memories are commonplace, the design trade-offs are quite different. But I think the microcoded instructions made the programs shorter at the source code level just because they made it unnecessary to re-implement the low level graphics operations (etc.) over and over in system and application code.
What isn't hard on your liver these days? Most drugs undergo metabolism and activation through the CYP450 system. Meaning that those drugs which clear hepatically are most likely hard on your liver in the long run.
It's the other way around. Remember, countries pay for R&D independent of the number of people in it, but they only get taxes relative to their population. So smaller countries need to spend a higher % of GDP on IT or deal with worse systems.

What's going on is larger counties made the jump sooner so small countries have many examples to learn from.
The Struts vulnerability was less about Struts and more about the universal difficulty of dependency management.

Which Spring Boot ameliorates by providing starter POMs. Curated, levelled, updated collections of dependencies for common cases. No need to play whack-a-dep with Maven or Gradle. No need to track 50 different dependencies yourself.

The thing is: I don't care how Spring does the magic. I care that I don't have to care.

I came to Spring and Java-for-real development relatively late -- by fluke I was on what is almost certainly the first Boot production app ever deployed, back in early 2014.

Later I got a chance to see the primordial world of Spring 3. I understand the residual hate.
In Italy the middle school (age 11-14) included "Technical Applications", which AFAICT was the same thing, i.e. crafts. Boys and girls would have different subjects though.

This lasted between 1963 (the year this unified middle school was introduced, previously there were specific work-oriented schools) and 1979 (they year the subject became a more theoretical "Technical Education", and unisex).
It seems like you need to be manually approved by Google? (Hence the "If your organization is interested in implementing, or seeing issues with, ClaimReview, submit your contact information here".)
It is really, really surprising that this is discovered so lately. We should be knowing this for 30 or so years. I have a strong guess that this article is overpresenting how new this is. Otherwise something really weird is going on.
Well, if a health issue hits a majority, that majority can change how it is discussed.

If a majority where addicted to narcotics, you would get codeine-pride parades and house M.D. T-Shirts.
I suppose "trolls" also includes companies with an interest in pushing their own agenda, which historically have been far more influential than the more diverse and random Internet trolls.
Russian numbers are ten based and rather straightforward;

odin dva tri ... desyat (10)
odinnadtsat dvenadtsat trinadtsat ... dvadtsat (20)

there is no irregularity other than 40 which is sorok instead of chetiredesyat
I really wish the danish numbers had been reformed. It is a drag to communicate numbers verbally and then write them down. It is very prone to errors since the verbal number sequence is so strange.

Exampel: 54. It is pronounced: fire-og-halv-treds (four-and-half-threes.) As you might notice, the spoken sequence is backwards compared to the written number.
this gets even more confusing when saying a number above 100. 136 is et-hundrede-og-seks-og-treidve. (One-hundreds-and-six-and-threes).

I remember reading about Taos in Byte and thinking this was brilliant. It later turned into something called Elate, which in turn morphed into a semi-boring JVM for small systems. I wish we had the source code of the original, though.
I've read Lustig's book, and my recollection is that he says that more than 10% of your daily calories from (all, both added sugar and naturally included sugar, if I remember correctly) sugar is too much. So if you're eating 2000 calories/day, then 200 calories from sugar, which means 200/4 = 50 grams total (including added sugar).

Separately, on the sugar science website they say:

> our scientific team recommends keeping all added sugars below the recommended limits of 6 teaspoons/day (25g) for women and 9 teaspoons (38g) for men.

A country's size cannot be overstated. I don't know about cost, but for mere agility, the smaller a country is, the more nimble it can be for all sorts of reform and progressive progress. Singapore and the Netherlands are both small countries that have managed to overhaul aspects of society without much barrier in years past. Germany is a big place, the U.S. much bigger. Estonia, tiny. You can do all sorts of things when you have just a few people it will affect.
Non sequitur. It does not follow from your argument that there is nothing to be learned from the Estonian model.

If nothing else, it's a shining example of what can be achieved when a collective effort is put into modernizing digital infrastructure, i.e. putting a little -- otherwise [economically] unremarkable -- baltic country on the economic map. Moreover, this comes at a time during which there is much discussion of the US (and several European countries') aging infrastructures, and in which the economic opportunity of modernizing them is being scrutinized.

Granted, this kind of transformation may or may not be possible elsewhere, but to brush it aside as "uninteresting" is to suggest a lack of intellectual curiosity.
That seems like it must be incorrect. Life on earth evolved in the oceans, so the oceans had to exist for eons before life evolved and the eons it took for life to evolve photosynthesis and produce significant amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere. If what you're saying is correct, then the earth either started out with much more water than it has now, or the hydrogen escaped a lot more slowly than I'd expect it to.

Well it would be easier for learners to pick up for one, but I actually think the system is annoying, even as a native speaker. When someone tells me a phone number or similar, I will often ask them to read out the digits one by one because writing down the numbers can be difficult with the alternating order.

Why do you always post from a source which requires you to pay upfront to read the article?
Maybe? We have learned a lot about the brain in recent times. You can, today, hack your way into controlling a mouse with your mind. That's all external and, of course, requires a headset.

I doubt I'll be alive to see it, but it seems that is the most probable method to get mass adoption of VR. Right now, it is really niche. Right now, we are still trying to do it the way we've been doing it for the past three decades. Things are faster and smaller but there are limits to those two traits.

I'd absolutely love AR. I have a modest collection of automobiles and sometimes work on them. I sometimes make things out of wood. I sometimes can't identify an animal species or plant family. Having the ability to augment that would be a wonderful way to enjoy life even more - at least for me.

But, even if we got these down to the size of eyeglasses (which seems really unlikely for the foreseeable future) I'm not sure we will get mass adoption by Jane Q. Public. It's not a cell phone you pick up and put away, but something worn. The form factor is, by itself, a negative.

I dunno? I can't predict the future. I'd still volunteer to test a viable method. With the ubiquity of cellular network connectivity, it'd be fantastic to have the sum of human knowledge at your immediate beck and call and without the need for an external device.
No, sorry - this isn't science.

> air pollution was the biggest killer, leading to heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and other illnesses

There's absolutely no way you can definitively link deaths from heart disease to air pollution with any substantial degree of confidence, at least not in 99.99% of the cases.

I guarantee that within a short amount of time, this whole "study" will be invalidated as baseless political-motivated pseudoscience.
No, I'm not talking about static checking. I'm talking about property-based tests that run at compile time. Dependent typing is a different matter. What I describe is not dependent typing, but is quite straightforward now thanks to Clojure.spec. And there are a lot of community efforts in the research sphere to see where Spec can take static analysis, it's quite interesting.
Thanks for posting the links.

It's absurd for content creators to implement it. Google will leech your work and use it to build their Google brain bigger, when you're not necessary anymore, Google will ditch you.

Same with the stupid Google catchas that make me sick.

Most of the Pharo consortium members use Smalltalk in one way or another: http://consortium.pharo.org/

I guess some of them only support Pharo (an open source implementation) so they have a leverage when they negociate with the commercial vendors (e.g., Cincom VisualWorks, VA Smalltalk, Gemstone).

I doubt people's willpower has changed much over time. Yet Obesity rates are in a dramatic upswing worldwide suggesting external forces are playing a major role. Off the top of my head.

One possibility is people are eating less nutritious food causing their bodies to crave more food to make up the difference.

Another possibility is companies have gotten better at hitting people's reward centers to drive more consumption and thus profits.

Another is simply less active lifestyles. Such as the removal of many gym classes and the emergence of video games. Shopping online vs walking around a mall.

Etc.

If you can agree that (> a b) makes easy sense, that a is greater than b (it's the same symbol as a > b, just in a different place), then I don't see how that's any more difficult than (> a b c), which means that b is also greater than c. But then I've been staring at lisp code for years.

And in fact they have to be converted to fat. There are only two other options:

stored in muscles as glycogen - however, the muscle stores can only store up to 1600 calories so they may be full. Also, once sugar gets into a muscle it can't get out - it can only be used by that particular muscle.

used by the brain - however the brain doesn't need more than 500 kcal per day. (and can live with as little as 120 kcal / 30g of glucose provided that the rest of the energy is supplied by ketones)

So... exercise doesn't help lose weight, but it sure helps prevent weight gain when eating carbs. With the amount of carbs we eat nowadays and the low amounts of physical activity, its no wonder at all we store a lot of fat.
CMOS scaling is close to dead and that’s been a very special tech and tech enabler. It’s not the only way to continue ramping performance and function. See GPUs for example. But it’s hard to replace that kind of tech.
You bring up a totally fair point for the set of images that are on it right now.

But, as more users upload images that then must be tagged, the hope would be that eventually there is enough diversity in the dataset that being able to consistently recognize what's in the different images would require something approaching human intelligence.
And not only in Danish, unfortunately. In German it is vierundfünfzig (four and fifty) and einhundertsechsunddreißig (one hundred six and thirty). Crazy!
I’ve always used Firefox and enjoyed Chrome for a bit due to coworkers claiming how much better it was but after Firefox Developer Edition I went back and still haven’t looked back. Unless I need to test Chrome specifics. Definitely Firefox Development Edition with Firefox Containers is the best combination.
I've never seen IntelliJ or Eclipse fail to work out how to get to the definition I'm looking for.

For Ruby I see RubyMine doing what amounts to a fulltext search. It's next to useless.

For startup time, see my notes on the JVM and the link to Dave Syer's notes.

There's also the devtools starter to ease the JVM reload pain. Which to me is by far the biggest suckiness of the thing.

Of course the technology wasn't all invented from scratch in that period, but it was when a lot of things progressed just enough to generate massive markets which pulled a lot of money into the system.

I think the trolls will obviously come out to attack this but it seems like a nice extra data point from sites. They aren't obligated to show the data, they could just whitelist sites that they believe are 100% not trolls and then consider other sources based on a history of correctness or human verification. Imagine if they just added the top 10 news sites as valid sources. Then I bet some site like Snopes would pop up as valid because they had a history of agreement with some credible source. It's like Pagerank with trust instead of inbound links.

Why is real fruit not a problem but HFCS is? Dates sugar content is mostly sucrose which is broken down in the small intestine very rapidly into 50/50 glucose/fructose while HFCS is typically 45/55 glucose/fructose.

Once one sucrose is metabolized by sucrase it hits the bloodstream as glucose and fructose no different than HFSC.

Doesn't only matter in the end how much fructose you consume regardless of whether enters your body bound as sucrose or not as HFCS?

Can you point to some more information are the differences?

The main issue is fraud detection. Having many different bills would confuse people, and you'd have hard time explaining which part of the bill you need to check and which part you don't. You're going to have the equivalent of fake download buttons.

Yes, then it replaces them with the barriers to web app development.
Raptor test fires have been at ~1,000kN, with a planned thrust of 1700kN, and for 100s burns. I don't think it's fair to say that BE-4 is further along in the development/testing process just from the fact that it has fired at half thrust, since it sure looks like Raptor has too.
In my experience it does not work for "heavy" questions.

I successfully developed a habit for "quick" questions, where you know the answer instantly once you learned it. Examples: Capital of Malaysia? "Car" in chinese? Phone number of Mom? Images work well, like "what country does this map show?"

For heavy questions the repetition feels like too much work. Deriving equations is probably heavy. Another example would be: List all states of the US.

Deriving equations is not fun for my mind, because it takes seconds or minutes of concentration. For the quick questions, I receive success dopamin before I even notice that it is work. Fun. It becomes a game and I sometimes did a few cards on my smartphone while waiting, for example.

One strategy is to split heavy questions into many quick ones. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do if splitting does not work.
I wonder how far they are willing to go with this. How about these kinds of claims:

This is going to be fun. This is typical of Google, providing a technical solution to a human problem that can't be solved easily. Not everything can be tweaked with an algorithm.
Depends on needs. I used CherryPy with MongoDB for my first project at my current job. Have used ASP .NET Core but I’m all favoring Python recently. Once the Rust ecosystem becomes fully batteries included I may consider them though I’m leaning towards Django and itching to build something with it recently. Python lets you write a lot of code quicker and find libraries that solve your issues quicker.
Well it turned out that the legality of what the startup was doing was extremely questionable and ethically a line I couldn't cross. They are a quite notorious outfit still running.

Basically the objective was to rip as many people off as possible by buying up a scarce resource and then inflating the price. They have faced legislative and legal battles and protests outside their HQ since. They had to move to a foreign country in the end.

Me, I went to lunch in Subway over the road, scoffed a meatball marinara while contemplating the situation, concluded "fuck this" and went home.

Plus I arrived to a world of no source control and ADO datasets in .Net which nearly made the meatball marinara come back out again.
> and < are for numbers, so yes x and y are nums.

If you instead want to compare or sort other values, Clojure offers other functions for that purpose where you can specify in great detail how things should be compared. If > could operate on strings, for example, what would be the expected result? The shorter the string, the "lesser" the value, or the string that starts with the "lower" letter, etc... it's quite ambiguous. You need more than < or > for that kind of comparison.
