No, I understand HTTP2 and the advantages server push brings (on paper). When you consider it’s inconsistent implementation across browser vendors and that it really works best only in a scenario with optimal connection quality, I’d say it’s bad advice to tell people to stop bundling JavaScript especially in today’s world where an average codebase is likely going to have a ton of modules.

Trying to make distinctions like this gets you back to "figuring out how you were owned", i.e. determining the transmission vectors and threats.

The reality is that decoders for complex file formats often have buffer overrun and code execution flaws. If such mechanisms were used in the original attack or if the malware has worm-like abilities to extend the attack from your compromised machine, then wouldn't it me likely that more such corrupted data is also being staged to your machine?

Also, a very real risk would be the huge number of little scripts and configuration files which offer embedded scripting syntaxes. A naive victim might think they can install a new OS and just "recover their custom configuration files", but they are really recovering the attacker's configuration which can include the actual malware activation or other fail-safe reinfection mechanisms.

This doesn't pertain to Australia, but if you have served in the peace corps(unless something has changed) rabbits used to be fairly popular animals to give people in third world counties. It produces lots of offspring(if you are lucky enough for them to breed) which is probably its biggest benefit.
They're not equivalent. A case can often fit many phones, so they're cheaper to repair and offer more design variety. In the early 2000s, you could find cases for the 3310 everywhere, but I found very little choice for my 3410.
I would like to share an anecdote.
In March 2016, I was weighing 96 kilograms (211.64 pounds). I made just one change during that time which is to stop having anything with sugar. I continued to take other natural sweeteners like jaggery and honey. The rest of my diet remained the same and my activity level remained the same ( I work in IT as a network engineer in a desk job)

In October 2016, I was weighing 72 kilos (158.73 pounds).
I am still maintaining that same weight between 70 to 72 kilos since then. Incase if it is relevant, I am a 29 year old guy with a height of 172 cm (5 feet 7 inches).

Along with that, I got several other benefits such as being more energetic, not feeling sleepy all the time, general improvement in mood etc.

All this just with stopping of sugar and nothing else changed.

I can share even more side benefits which I got, but it will seem more unbelievable because I have observed that the general population is still unaware of the extremely harmful effects of sugar.

EDIT: I had typed October 2017 when I had intended to type October 2016. It was just 7 months.

When Companies Don't Verify Email Addresses, This Is What Happens
You would need a blood glucose meter (BGM), lancets, and strips. About $50 to get started.

Taking the measurement by washing your hands or wiping off your finger with an alcohol wipe, let dry, prick finger, squeeze to produce a small blood droplet, touch the end of the strip to the blood.

As far as interpreting expected results an hour after a meal; it depends on about a half dozen primary factors.

- Baseline fasting glucose level
- # of carbs consumed
- Ratio of simple/complex carbs and how much associated protein and fat in the meal

8 carbs of juice will spike blood sugar a lot faster than 8 carbs of ice cream because fat/protein/fiber can all slow down absorption of the carbs.

But in general healthy glucose level is 90 - 120 mg/dL and I'd imagine an hour after eating you should be a bit higher maybe up to 140.
Currently using it to build a service for image processing/generation from a given HTML template. Relatively simple to do in python and once it's hooked into API Gateway, easy to access and restrict as well.

So have you cured ESR of his sexism yet? Let's see your promised strong rebuttal of his latest sexist post, please. Did he respond by admitting he's wrong, apologizing and turning over a new leaf?

Have you also written a strong rebuttal of his racism too, or are you going to let that slide? Is it your opinion that ESR and Trump and Hitler are not racist and shouldn't be taken to task for it, because only a subset of their stated opinions on race are racist and incorrect?

Precisely where do you draw the line where that subset of someone's stated opinions being racist becomes intolerable -- 10%, 50%, 99%?

Is it perfectly OK with you if Scoble and Weinstein and Trump only sexually assault a subset of the women in their respective industries?
Don’t you see the trend? “Recommended amounts” may be a large part of the issue. Doesn’t the US recommend 325 grams of sugar (carbohydrates) a day?

I might not have represented myself that well, I'm trying more to address the people who are affected domestically. I'm not arguing against globalization at all (with words or votes) but we're seeing an increasing gap between the haves and have nots domestically and that divide is, I'm afraid, going to rip our country apart (and others, since it seems to be happening everywhere to some extent but the US has a weaker and weakening social safety net).

I don't see any way to micromanage the economy and to pull away from the world and have it actually benefit us, I might not have made clear that I don't consider that to be an actual option. I think its nuts that increasing taxes on those who benefit massively from globalization is a total non-starter and might lead us to disaster. In fact, we're about to potentially slash taxes on those same people and cut services to the rest of the country, we're moving totally backwards and the divide is just going to get larger.

So on the one hand, people losing their jobs is a shame but I wouldn't reorient our entire economy just to make sure people can still have factory jobs, but at the same time its up to us as a society whether or not simply losing your job because of changes in the global marketplace is a life-altering disaster or simply something we all deal with together.
Make Things Hard for Yourself If You Want to Become a Better Learner
The really good papers often have few citations at first, then ramp up exponentially about a decade later. These papers advance the field 5+ years, and it takes most researchers about that long after the fact to notice massive shifts. This even happens in “fast moving” fields, like CS, where the joke about science progressing one funeral at a time still applies.

That lag is enough to end a career.

Superficial, but well marketed papers(republished in spammy ways) tend to have lots of citations at first, then die off, flash-in-the-pan style. The system already over-rewards those papers.

The rare researchers that can produce really good papers and also market them get turing awards, etc.
Boston and SF tend to be neck and neck in terms of biotech VC dollars, with Boston getting more money once and a while.

Agreed, for that matter a progressive tax system and government services are a wealth redistribution system (which is why its so insulting and infuriating when the right says "thats wealth redistribution!!" when any solution is proposed.
Wait, what kind of scientists do you hang out with?
Haven't you misinterpreted "pass by reference" as "pass on the stack"?

(In the following program, I'd say that x is passed on the stack but not passed by reference.)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct example { void *a, *b, *c; };

void foo(struct example x)
{
x.a = &x;
if (x.a != NULL) puts("In foo(), x.a is not NULL.");
}

int
main(void)
{
struct example x = { .a = NULL };
printf("sizeof(x): %lu bytes (%lu bits).\n", sizeof(x), 8 * sizeof(x));
foo(x);
if (x.a == NULL) puts("In main(), x.a is NULL.");
return 0;
}
> We invested all of our seed funding in developing a great product. In doing so, our feature list expanded, but our actual revenue growth never changed in a meaningful way to support that development.

I think the key distinction to make here is that a "great product" is not defined by whether or not it is feature- complete, pleasant to use, etc. but whether or not your customers like using it, consequently paying you for it. Likewise, any change you make to your product should only be considered a positive delta if it makes people like it more (or pay more for it); otherwise, it's just a prettier/faster/more complicated product, not a better one.

Agreed, I realize now it seems like I think its an actual solution, I think it is what some people think is a solution but I don't think it will actually work. The only solution I see is a stronger social safety net that can allow the entire population to be more flexible and respond to changes in the workforce. As it is, if you happen to pick the wrong job in the wrong part of the country, you could invest a lot in something you have no control over when it leaves.

That being said, people also need to get over the idea of having a forver factory job, I understand and empathize with people who suffer as a result but culturally we've got to get over it and take care of each other and move on (I think).
there's also a market reason why this could happen. Towards the end of the (synchronized) bonus cycle, more drivers are going to be out to complete their bonus requirements, so they'll increase the supply and collaboratively reduce their take.
What sets this apart from the existing state management systems like redux, mobx, or just plain `setState`? It looks like it gets rid of the redux boilerplate, but mobx already does a fantastic job of making a state container and actions, so I'm not really sure where this stands.

In other words, what's redux-zero's "killer feature" that'll make me switch?

Do you have ties to Purdue or the pharama industries? You seem super defensive about this/not open to discussion and your submission history seems to be pharma related.
I think this is a very typical first response to formal methods. But eventually it becomes clear that ultimately it's not really solving any problem, but simply kicking the can to another problem. And in my opinion it's a step backwards as the can you're kicking it to is arguably more complex than where you came from.

Depending on the system you're using formal methods will rely on some set of preconditions (state before a function), postconditions (state after a function), and general state. There's nothing magical about formal methods that prevents errors, either logical/technical or by omission, here. And suddenly very small changes in program flow/logic can result in enormous amounts of work.

They're really fun and interesting, and also help you look at your code in a different way even when not using them. I think everybody has this sort of 'epiphany' moment the first time they actually play with them. But they don't work out in practice anywhere near as well as they do in theory or very limited scale. Something you quickly realize as the effort involved increases exponentially against linear increases in program size/complexity.

Are you saying you can do that with absolutely no build phase? For example, you can download vue.js and include it in your html page exactly like you could jquery.js back in the day and add a vue component to the page with no build step or toolchain or node.js or anything else involved at all. Is that what you are saying you can do with react?

I've also been a victim of this. The police even held a mock-trial for me, with one acting as judge while his fellow officer and I both presented our sides of the story. I won't make assumptions about the likelihood of them ever actually telling another fellow officer they agree with a defendant, but it definitely did not happen in my case. Added insult to injury and a bit of a resentment towards the whole process for me and not much else.

The recent demonization of sugar substitutes hasn't helped either. The problem with studies that link them to weight gain is that they confuse correlation and caution then make some wild unsubstantiated stab at causation by guessing that maybe they cause insulin issues. I went looking for information on that, and found and excellent article by a diabetic site summarizing the evidence and treating each substitute as its own compound. The bulk is the data is that they have no correlation (there is some in vitro evidence for a couple of lesser used sweeteners but under very contrived circumstances). As long as we deny the existence of usable substitutes, we are making this harder on ourselves.

Possibly, but how do you handle that many variables and predict the outcome?

This seemed to be the point of the TPP, whether it was flawed or not, to set some kind of standards that would allow us to compete on a more level playing field.

Theoretically I think it is expected that things will level out eventually, as a nation like China has a economic revolution the people become wealthier and eventually they aren't a cheap manufacturing solution anymore and factories move somewhere else and so on and so forth. That is why I feel like taking some of the profits from globalization and investing them into a) our own people and b) environmental and human rights in the countries we do business is the best, least wasteful solution that doesn't assume we can solve an NP-Complete problem in polynomial time.
Inventive language.

So, the api is identical to vanilla React component this.state/this.setState, but extracted to a hard-coded global somewhere, and injected back into your component via context?

> With Redux Zero your component can focus 100% on the UI

Radical.

If Redux is too much, just use stateful components. At least that way you can avoid global mutable state ;)

Our app has a somewhat Tinder-like feel, though it's paid (escorts). I don't want to go overboard plugging, so see my profile for details. For fun, here's how we score on the article's items:

1. No scammers. We require providers to be vetted in some way (references). Clients are going to need to provide screening to see providers.

2-A. We use our custom login system. Verifying your social media account is just a read-once thing we do; we don't ever have access to post. In fact, it is unlikely we'd even get approved for an API key on most platforms.

2-B. For launch we're pretty exclusionary :(. Focusing on cishet couplings, female provider. We're going to address that as soon as possible. Queer sex workers face additional challenges for sure.

3. Data safety. Due to our company's legal status (extrajurisdictional), we have to deeply hide all data. Our servers don't have persistent storage, RAM only. (At boot, it's a manual restore from something like Tarsnap.) Only a few people have root or raw DB access. This does not include most devops people - they go through a change approval process. Real access is limited to core members heavily vested in the company with a need-to-know. More at [1], please ignore the clickbait title.

Another key point: connectivity is heavily restricted. App servers only have inbound socket from their hidden service, plus outbound to the DB layer hidden service. DB layer only has that inbound socket. DB requests are rate limited globally plus per user.

4. We'll wipe your data shortly after deactivation if there are no abuse reports on your account. In which case we keep a photo ID and birthdate so you can't sign up again and get a clean record. This is needed to protect user's safety. But at least a photo is not so readily searchable. Maybe Facebook can do it, but if we were to somehow

In my experience with local philanthropy, there are donors who have no interest in "naming opportunities" and those for whom it is all about the name. To me it says a lot about the character of the donor if they specifically want as little fuss as possible about the donation, and especially if they do not want something named after them. It is the cause they support, not their own egos. Personally, the more often I see a particular donor's name attached to a building, the less admiration I have for the person. So for me the ethical defects of the company are consistent with the desire for the family name to be emblazoned everywhere.
I think it was on 99pi
I'm a software developer for one of those biG tech companies programming in Java and c++ all day, and I found openhab largely inscrutable without putting a large amount of time in. In contrast, I had the relatively simple time setting up hass and got to my desired level of automation in about 1hr.

So, it was an easy choice for me. I also really like home assistants philosphy on library code- there is basically no device or tech specific code in Hass, their rule is to only use third party libraries with a wrapper around them. This greatly reduced the scope of the task for developing the internals of a home automation system

Tl; dr:

Author contrasts two explanations of the obesity and diabetes crises: A) that the root of the issue is caloric intake stemming from low-self-control or B) that the root of the issue is high blood-sugar and its subsequent effects.

Author explores the long history of this debate and presents points for both sides. Author admits the thermodynamic validity of caloric math but cites that at a cellular glucose levels cause insulin levels to rise that cause the cell to take on fat. Author cites other research, such as increased appetite among obese animals, suggesting a systemic effect. Author cites ketogenic diets as evidence (which restrict sugars but not total calories).

Author contrasts the moral interpretation of each theory. Proposes the caloric consumption model places blame on the individual, whereas the glucose explanation places blame on the FDA.
