It reminds me that I make a decent amount more than the median household income in the US and how lucky I've been overall.

We would all do well to remember, as it's easy to forget when you see your fourth Tesla on the way to work, amid a sea of BMWs (hi, Redmond!). Then I go visit my parents in Florida. Oh, yeaaaaah, I forgot that I'm fucking rolling it and I'm lucky as can be. And I did not grow up rich, so you'd think it would stick better. <shrug>

But I do wonder if some of the political decisions made are a result of an extreme version of that. Take our sitting president, as one example. The man has never known want, never once has the price of a pair of shoes ever factored into his decision making. Is he a complete dick, or just clueless and tone-deaf as a result of his environment? Kind of like how George W. Bush famously didn't know the price of a gallon of milk. You know who has two thumbs and also doesn't know the price of a gallon of milk +/- $1? This guy. I'm not ridiculously rich, and even I don't know. But I remember a time when I needed to know. But I can't remember the last president we've had that might have ever needed to know the price of a gallon of milk at any point in their life. Maybe Clinton, if one believes the story of his upbringing to be completely true.
Food limits how far the population can grow anyway.

AFAIK the energy consumption (and thus the pollution) for the benefit of developed nations far outweighs the one that benefits the poorer ones whose population increases.

Same here. I just picked up a new phone the other day, and I immediately dropped the pixel from consideration because of its lack of a headphone jack.
I wonder what this comment section would like if this study was released during last year's Zika panic.
funny that your comment is downvoted but the parent comment is not despite both being equally off topic.
no the problem with the site is that music :)
What a cool idea! I was hoping there was going to be a directory of blog posts I could `cat`. I feel like there's some fun potential here if you keep fleshing it out, but of course who has the time?

Is there some way you could put this in terms of libraries of congress? Maybe if we laid them end to end?
What about CO? How is the market there now? I used to live there 4 years ago (then moved to the bay area). Curious how it is now.

I like the idea of a place like Portland for affordability/small city/ good public transport, but I also like the idea of sunshine...

I believe only the Pixel 2 XL is plagued by screen issues. The regular Pixel 2 doesn't seem to have any widespread screen issues.
Interestingly, if you click on any of the links on the "example" page [1], it seems to return results, even without an API key. Conveniently, it strips off the url param "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" for you. Not sure what to make of the results, though.

D.E.A. Says Hondurans Opened Fire During a Drug Raid. Video Suggests Otherwise
I attempted to build many science projects as a kid, but failed repeatedly because of my poor fabrication skills, lack of proper tools, and no money. Particularly frustrating were my attempts to build a gas liquifier outlined in "The Amateur Scientist".

Not exactly a science project, but my brother and I finally managed to construct a go-kart out of scrap. It would do about 40 mph, and was enormous fun.
I don't buy arguments of an author, he's building strawman and fights with it.

Couple examples from an article:
> Louisiana nearly bankrupted its state treasury writing checks to the film industry, as part of a doomed effort to turn New Orleans into the “Hollywood of the South.” (When the checks dried up, the industry left.)

Movie industry is project based, it's easier to move in/out (I assume). To make movie is much lesser commitment than to relocate 50k people in the area.

> The case of sports stadiums is notorious. Sports teams force municipalities to spend a fortune building new stadiums, on the promise that the local economy will be “stimulated.” They can then threaten to leave unless they receive further bribes. (And it turns out that they don’t stimulate much at all, bringing few economic benefits in return for the millions of dollars spent appeasing team owners.)

Office buildings and city infrastructure are not stadiums, and Amazon isn't sport team. (How much people do they employ? I can't formulate query but I hardly believe that it's more than 1000)

disclaimer: Amazon employee, but I'd made this comment this even if I weren't.
Absolutely. Bluetooth is not there yet. I still get stuttering and low quality all the time when using Bluetooth. I want a headphone jack, and I'll find someone who will provide one and vote with my dollars.
False premise: "advancing technology". There's nothing "advanced" about making a device less useful. The deficiency outweighs the benefit.
Nice work. But honestly, you're making it incredibly hard to quickly see your accomplishments.

Erlang's syntax. Ouch.
I have thought about that often. The conclusion I have reached is this Earth's way of keeping the population of a species at a natural state - droughts, plagues etc... At first this appears harsh based on our preconceived notions of humanity. Many people will die due the environmental conditions in which they live - regardless of pollution levels.

Earth does not have a bias towards one species, such as political/economic policies will have. Mother Nature's laws determine the strongest/fittest will survive, but our current system puts wealth that leads to power as the strongest.

Switching to a system which does not value materials, money and power over others but focuses strictly living off the land such as the African Tribe will result in a drastically different social construct than we see today.
really "jumpy" when using Firefox Quantum.

I found it frustrating, I didn't actually end up seeing anything other than the terminal I tried changing into folders, but it didn't seem to work. Seems broken.
Don’t give up now. The risk is good for you. Use it to “light a fire under your ass,” as the saying goes.

Be selective about opportunities and don’t underestimate the advantage of your position. Many people spend years employed dreaming about the sort of independence you’ve achieved.
To be honest, it's substantially more than I expected as an iOS user. I've barely begun to deliberately use it, but find it nice that my drawing apps can import from the Files folder as well as directly from each other.
I don't think anyone knows.
Client-side prediction can be hard to add to a existing codebase. Adding it to a game and not breaking backwards compatibility with user-made content and scripting is going to be impossible.

Remember: real people have spent real money on in-game items, you can't just rev the API and say the old items are gone. You can't do refunds either: players paid other players for items, ten years ago, using long-expired credit cards, sometimes from expired people.
While neat, it's limited to Linux.
It'd be nice to see how the BSDs behave, on their filesystems (such as HAMMER2).
ZFS was also notably absent.
The nexus 5 has both of those things. What world do we live in where a headphone jack is considered a feature?
I've worked with this API a fair bit since early 2016, and it's been around longer. I've got no real complaints about the API, just want to note that the data itself is.. arcane.. it'll take a bit of study and research to get up to speed on even a small subset of what's available.
The author doesn't appear to have bothered to investigate or honestly ask WHY games are the way they are, though. They are just blindly attacking an entire industry on basically the claim that the entire industry is stupid.

But the industry isn't stupid, and some of the "over-contrasty garbage" is intentional to help people rapid identify the things that they need to identify. Being able to quickly spot the things that you need to play the game are more important than sensible tone maps and contrast curves.

This is not a medium you observe like film & paintings are, it's a medium you interact with, and rapidly at that. Approaching the visuals with the same perspective as something you only observe is a fundamentally flawed approach.

This article is packed with baseless assertions, unfounded claims, and offhanded but not investigated technical limitations. Hell, right after saying "partly due to technical limitations" the author proceeds to throw out a "nobody in the game industry has an understanding of film chemistry" snark. The author doesn't even bother to elaborate on the technical limitations that they remarked on, opting instead to just hurl insults for no reason.
The cigar seller sells its customer list to a data broker or uses a third party service that does the same (e.g. it uses your email address as a user identifier in a third party analytics product). Then advertisers buy that data.

I enjoyed how many people are quick to criticize that this doesn't work as well as an actual terminal. Because that was definitely, absolutely the point.
Well, I know it's used for some internal things at a Russian AV company according to some bug reports that have been made :). And Microsoft used it for their WinObjC for a (not very long) while when they initially released it.
The Android one version of Moto x4 is shaping up to be nice. I've been using moto since the first G variant (back when Google acquired the phone division of Motorola) and I am currently on X2 (by Lenovo, but still a good and very well-rounded phone). The only issue is X2 no longer receives updates, so an Android one version may be as close as you can get to the original. It's really a shame Google sold Moto only to struggle with hardware manufacturing of their "premium" phone for two generations now.
Article is wrong if you had clearance you don't get to transfer it if you move to a civilian job is my understanding.

So is there an equivalent to List X companies in the USA who are allowed put staff through clearance.

And for TS clearance I doubt that any dual national other than those because of birth circumstances will be getting clearance any time soon which sucks for SV company employees who are immigrants
Depends on the application obviously. A lot of social groups would likely be meeting once a week. It's just a simple example though of how the step function could be useful.

For your example, you would just need a step with some kind of range. So you could say step=7, range=5 to allow them to pick from the first 5 days of every 7 (or to get trick step=7 range=-2 to eliminate the last 2 days). I'd hazard a guess they thought about this kind of stuff, but realised it would be complicated pretty quickly.
Yep, that was the kind of thing I did even on 28.8K modems. Minus the winning prizes part.

I think it's actually more about the errors than the syntax. But Python getting rid of braces by enforcing indentation is just the way to go IMO.

Don't want to start another tiresome thread about LISP syntax, but I'm one of those people who prefer C style expressions - as long as no heavy higher-level functional programming is required, for which I by now see almost no practical use at all.

As a funny quip, Larry Wall referred to LISP looks as "oatmeal with fingerclips mixed in".
Thank you very much limedaring! I will not hesitate to reach out once I hit my next roadblock. Look forward to trying out your tutorial :)
We've recently seen the removal of some publicly-available datasets that are overseen by the federal government. Does anyone have any perspective on how stable this particular dataset is?
> I still get stuttering and low quality all the time when using Bluetooth.

Bluetooth works great for me (good enough quality, no stuttering) - what kills it is latency. Latency makes watching videos very uncomfortable. There's also faint static in nearly every pair of bluetooth earbuds I've tried (and not just cheap ones, $100+ ones do this too).
Before learning Django, did you already understand the fundamentals of the web, relational databases, and basic programming?

Django abstracts away the tedious aspects of the use of SQL databases, form validation, HTTP requests and responses, and the like. It does not absolve you from understanding the underlying structures.
When does the reductionism stop? If my dad hadn't been an eager early adopter of modems and desktop computers I doubt I'd have the same interest in computing I do today.
I would agree too. Flask will help you understand the basic web framework and will give you confidence. In the past I often used django but once I worked with flask I never looked back.
I think bluetooth is absolutely there now... I've used bluetooth headsets for a number of years now and they are fantastic. You just need to buy a decent product! Currently I am using QC35s and there is no lag, no hiss, amazing quality all round.

Sometimes it is unavoidable though... for example my car's bluetooth implementation however is horrible - very laggy and sometimes unresponsive.
Stephen Hawking's Ph.D. Thesis Crashes Cambridge Site After It's Posted Online
I think this is a dramatic difference of opinion between coders and everyone else in science, if you excuse the generalization. I say that because of the large number of tools to try to one-up the PDF for academic scholarship (e.g. Readcube). Publishers looking to invent ways to define their own value have been slowly trying to force these things onto readers, but almost everyone in my field hates them and wishes they would die. Formatting and typography are critical in many fields, and a PDF is the canonical way to maintain these aspects of a paper.
I'm 26, and I just bought a 2 bed 1 bath 850 sqft condo in Santa Clara for 570k.

My payments are insane, basically 4k a month. I'm able to get by because my wife works too so we aren't entirely living hand to mouth.

Since I bought in June, an identical condo in the same complex sold for around 600k.

It really burns when you consider that even in Sacramento you could probably get a full sized single-family home for what I paid...just at the cost of being further away from work.

I've been living in the Bay Area since I was 7, and I've almost been priced out of it. Does not feel good.
I think a much better way to get rid of mosquitos in a local area, but not of everything else, would be a laser turret ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser

Unfortunately not market ready, yet ...

edit: bat boxes, water-fish traps and having birds around will certainly reduce mosquito population ... but there will be still lots of them around. A laser can take them (allmost) all out ...

Oh and about the water: if you just have open water around with no fish in it ... then the mosquitos will love that, btw.. So taking care, that there is no open water around, when it is hot, helps also a lot ... but I still want my laser turret.
On both Samsung phones and tablets, I've found Auto Brightness to be unreadably low at first and had to shut it off. (With Auto off, you can set whatever fixed brightness you want, it's not a binary Auto vs. Max choice).

I have the GS3, GS5, GS6, GS6 Edge, GS7, GS7 Edge, and a Tab A.
I had a nightmare time on J2me with SOAP and Samsung phones. The generated wrapper was sometimes triggering a bug that would crash the phone.

The generated code was a byzantine mess. The bug didn't trigger anything catchable in the code.

This wasn't even the worst thing in that project, but may have been the straw that broke the camels back.

It took me a sec to realise duchess.ai was a folder, not a file, and then another second to realise tab completion was trying to send me to duchess.air for some reason. Cool concept, just a couple of little things to iron out.
SOAP defines your API, OpenAPI just describes it.

We wrote an OpenAPI spec for our existing API and just use it to generate documentation for external parties and it's worlds ahead of what we used to do.
Right now, I'm dealing with it by preferentially buying phones that come with a headphone jack. And internally stowed stylus. And a slot for a memory card. Fortunately, the Note 8 has all three.

Sure all of those may be on the way out in long term trend—the others for longer than the headphone jack.

But as long as I have a choice, I'll vote with my wallet for the things I prefer.
I thought there were a few very clear suggestions:

1. Pick your tone mapping early in the development process.

2. Look into the models are used by the camera / film industry, because they're clearly getting better results.

It's not a complete discussion, but as a student in computer graphics, I found it very informative. The title says Part 1, so presumably there will be more. The links were also all very good, too.
If not an iPhone or a pixel, what decent phones are left in the running?
Bravo ryanwaite!
Totes. Another issue I've found (at least with the browser extension flavor), is that even though it is a separate window, Cmd+Tab switching between apps is totally broken by Postman. The Postman window will completely take over your Chrome instance.

Also, I'm glad I found you! Long-time user of Paw, but going to make the switch to Insomnia. Question, can I just type a JS object into request body and you stringify the JSON for me? Is that something you would accept as a PR if not?

I think the same way. That is I am extremely visual and remember visual things very well, though like you its more often the shape of it rather than the specific content, depending.

I grew up using Windows though and while I have had to use vi/vim for work and personally before, I dislike it with a passion (due more to that I didnt grow up using it / havent used it extensively im sure). Ill share the linux folder to windows and use Notepad++ when I can lol.
The future of the Census, including 2020, is indeed in question: http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/07/15/536908867/...

Maybe that means API access is one of the line-item things that could be cut when the budget isn't properly funded. But the data itself, including current datasets (which have been downloadable via bulk FTP for awhile) [0] should be pretty stable. After all, the Census is a function directly mandated by the Constitution.

Everyone lamenting the loss of the headphone jack reminds me of the same people lamenting the loss of the CD-ROM drive in the MacBooks.

The headphone jack is a legacy, bulky port. I would not be surprised to see a port-less phone in the next few years.

Apple has a really good track record of dropping things at the right time: floppy, CD-ROM, Flash, etc.

At each of those steps there were people decrying the loss of these things. Today however, most people don’t miss any of them. They made the right choice then and I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt now.

> My own high school, in comparison, had maybe 20-30 computers for about 1000 students.

I had some old college-level comp sci books I was getting rid of (C++ by Stroustrup, etc.) and thought I would call a the magnet tech high school in the local inner city. The books were old editions, but why not ask? A teacher was indeed interested and even personally came to my home and picked up the books. He told me that if I had any old computer equipment - anything at all, even if it didn't boot - they could use that too. This is the tech magnet high school. What opportunity do those kids have? How much talent is lost? It's sickening.
One reason to get an API key is that they use the associated email to send out (very low volume) messages about API "news".
>“What we’re seeing is not necessarily good for society, but it is rational behavior by these companies,” said Andrew Moore, the dean of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, who previously worked at Google. “They are anxious to ensure that they’ve got this small cohort of people” who can work on this technology."

I don't understand why paying employees crazy salaries would be bad for society, though they may not actually be crazy if you look at them as a function of housing costs - a physician in the right Midwest city can often afford 2 average priced homes on 1/year of salary.

Wish they could have expanded on this. It seems like an employee getting paid exorbitant amounts of money to actually produce a product, instead of being in management, an athlete, or an entertainer would be a fantastic thing!

Is it just scary for "society" (ie the upper class) that employees will realize it's possible to be paid exorbitant sums of money if they provide exorbitant levels of value?

> Telling people it was insecure did not make it insecure - it was already insecure.

It's a common tactic for burglars to look for when homeowners are going on holidays. The homeowner being on holiday makes the house less secure, but the information that that particular house is less secure is of benefit to the burglar.

Security isn't a binary state.
Probably for many people. I haven't even had to think about it in years except to check my spam folders once a week for ham. And that's for 8 email addresses including two catch-alls.
