You're missing the fact that games are designed to be addictive through reward mechanisms that favour long hours of playtime. The ideal balance between positive and negative reinforcement schemes are responsible for motivating users to keep using. Some gamers pull all-nighters for multiple days in a row just to ensure that they keep receiving the stimulus they are seeking. The only difference between recreational drugs and games is that drugs act directly in the nervous system and are directly responsible for some physiological side effects.
How would LEDBAT help for downloads unless the server supports it? Even then, how does the client indicate to the server that "data on this connection is not urgent, only give it bandwidth as long as it doesn't interfere with other connections"?
Yes, with the caveat that if you already use a hypervisor for your main dev environment then running another inside it with Vagrant's default VBox setup is likely to either be very slow or not work at all.

Docker will also layer and cache each command greatly speeding up the "build&test" cycle of writing and running Docker containers. With Vagrant you're re-running everything every time.

Furthermore, you can actually use Docker with Vagrant also nowadays.

he still has a valid point - no country has ever modernized through free markets. he never argued that protectionism is the key to success.

in fact, after WWII, not any country modernised itself after becoming a democracy. South Korea was in a military dictatorship, Singapore is run by a single family.

Disagree. Maybe other federal agencies have nothing to lose by open sourcing their code, but the DoD should NOT open anything. If the nation's security is entrusted to the DoD, their software shouldn't be publicly available for potential intruders to study and exploit.

What a bad thesis. Does she mean western science which is older than 15th century and a reaction against religious enslavement of ideas? Or Chinese science from BC?

Out perhaps just industrial revolution, which is just a tiny chunk of whole science?

I suspect this is some form of argument from ignorance or cherry picking.

The argument "comes from slavery" can be applied to everything. If it is about science fuelling colonialism, perhaps, but the same thing can be said about both capitalism, feudalism and more. People have often used gains of all kinds to further selfish agenda at the cost of others.
Shit developers will be shit developers. Everyone can claim they are a developer if they don't have to show code. Heck, you can be anything as long as you don't have to prove it.

Having worked for for about 18-20 different clients I can count on my left hand the number of places that had turn-key, repeatable dev environments. Repeatable prod environments are usually better but not always.

Quite honestly to most lazy developers the idea of repeatable and turn-key environments is anathema to them. "It's time consuming". "It's boring." "It's Somebody Else's Job." It is now my number one way to determine actual seniority and skill level in a developer during interviews.

Docker is not the panacea, but it's a game changer for many people as it lowers the barrier to entry for these things. We should embrace containers for what they are -- a very useful tool.
If by fix you mean completely change what was being expressed to the opposite, sure.

In recent years the floppy disk icon and the hourglass have started falling out of fashion. Sometimes save is a sort of slab with an arrow https://openclipart.org/image/2400px/svg_to_png/32251/docume... though loads of places still uses an old-skool 3.5" floppy.

The hourglass is often just a spinner now.

The pencil is everywhere, though what else could you use? It means more than "pencil" now, I see that and think edit.
It's well known. I think it's hard with creative industries, especially since digital has sped things up and communications has allowed way more people to collaborate. Now you can have many more people making last minute changes...throughout the last 6 months of a project.

I've heard lawyers talk about what it was like before fax machines. Turnaround on documents were expected to take a week because they went out through the mail. Now you can get a txt message and expect to turnaround in minutes--no matter where you are.

It's just a tempting feedback loop and I feel like as a culture/society we need to set some boundaries.

This sounds to me like most retarded idea I've ever heard.

If smartphone SoCs were viable server platforms then you would buy them directly from the manufacturer instead of scavenging them from a landfill.

The entire idea is based around the cognitive dissonance of buying fully functioning hardware at low or no cost when the reason for the low cost is the fact that it's not fully functioning.

My motivation for (and lack of ideas for) side projects has dwindled over the years.

I have high expectations from simulation. I hope they will be able to reach 99.9% realism so we can use it to recreate any situation we want, for fun (games) and profit (pre-training robots).

<rant>Self driving cars already train on simulated roads because that allows the creation of any scenario. Even human pilots use simulators to train, especially for those rare situations. And since robot training is expensive and slow in the real world, the only alternative is to do it in a sim.

Simulation allows the composition of any scene that might be very hard to record in the wild - for example, an octopus sitting as a hat on the head of an elephant... where would you be able to get that photo? but surely you imagined it in 0.1 seconds, using your imagination - a powerful simulator humans have in their heads. Such images are crucial in training AI.

I think AI will reach human level when it will be equipped with a sandbox where it can try out its ideas and concepts, similarly to how scientists use labs to test their theories. When AI gets its world simulator, it will be able to learn reasoning and meaning that is grounded in verification. Just like us. We have the world itself as our fundamental "simulator" and experiment on it to learn physics, biology and AI. AI needs a simulator too.</>

In the UK you can be fired within the first two years without reason (unless it's connected to a protected characteristic). After two years you can still be fired - the company just has to follow a simple procedure of giving you some warnings before firing you.

Employer tribunals are not free and are intimidating to use, so many people who are wrongfully dismissed don't seek justice.
And on top of that, your users will probably hate you.

Complaining is a thing on the whole internet, but I'm always shocked by how common it is for gamers to trash those who basically make their leisure possible.

Indeed, this industry seems to be the most toxic one for developers. Among all recruitment mails I receive, gaming industry ones always stand out. They're basically always in the line of "want to work in your dream industry?" and make me feel like they actually are doing me a favor by sending me a recruitment mail. "lol" is my usual thought while closing the mail.

By the way, to game developers : don't feel too bad. Once MR will be a thing, you'll be kings of the world, just like webdev from 2000'.

School mathematics teaches mostly about white people because a lot of actually written down math was for by them. (By them we still use a bunch of theorems and notations invented by Chinese and Arabs. Some Indian too.) The problem is related to other people not using written media as much and/ or taking a back seat during 18th through early 20th century. This is changing again, where Chinese and Indian mathematicians are getting well known again.

Besides the fact that many consider the 10,000 hours a myth, please keep in mind that the theory is about 10,000 hours of practice.

Repeatable, reusable environments for development doesn't need docker. And my statement on AWS Lambda is valid - while learning is always a net positive, knowing the innards of lambda's container scheduling isn't necessary for using it.

This article actually says more about the writer than Amazon or Silicon Valley.

Silicon valley has ALWAYS been "out of touch". That's by definition, because silicon valley builds stuff for innovators and early adopters in the innovation adoption cycle.

But what's different nowadays though is some idiots who belong in the laggard zone thinks they can judge the products that are barely at the innovator/early adopter product cycle. And they happen to be journalists, or people with a lot of followers on Twitter.

I guess the real takeaway here is that social media has brought us to a point where the boundary among each of the phases in diffusion of innovation graph has become blurry. Some people who definitely don't understand the technology can easily bury a small startup that's trying hard to make it happen in the early adopter zone by writing up some propaganda piece.
I really wish this was true, but alas, there are a lot of devs out there who talk a great interview but can't cut it with the real work. They tend to get hired with inflated salaries, screw up the companies systems for a year and then move on when questions start to get asked (but of course, they'll tell themselves the company changed, not that they've messed up). Unfortunately, there are not enough companies out there who can unearth this type of incompetence before hiring.

>> "women are inferior" dressed up in a dinner jacket so it fits in with polite company

No, it's not even close to the same.

That an individual is less likely to choose a career doesn't mean that individual inherently is bad at it.

You keep trying to imply that I think less of women. I don't. I'm happy to acknowledge there are plenty of women who are much better than me at tech and plenty that have helped me out. Just because there happen to be less doesn't mean they are inherently worse.

And you could do well leaving out ad hominems. I have been respectful throughout this discussion, while you accuse me of sexism every other line. Most people aren't as impatient as I am when called a sexist as many times as you have. Do you see why conservatives avoid these discussions now?

Odds are I've done more to bridge the gap than you have - I have been a TA for a high school AP Physics MOOC and I am a volunteer at the Lawrence Hall of Science. Do you spend your weekends tutoring young girls and getting them to pursue science?

>> This is just shockingly ignorant.

As someone who had at least 15 girls in my AP Computer Science class in high school, no, it's not. In fact, you can google the requirements needed for taking an AP exam: find a high school willing to let you take it (usually the high school you attend), and pay the $100 fee. That's it.

>> Plenty of women in tech have stories that bely this.

Sure there are plenty of successful women in tech. No one's making the claim that all women aren't interested, and it's never even been mentioned that women are worse at tech.

They just happen in smaller numbers compared to men.

>> Plenty of research refutes it.

93% of occupational deaths are men, as I have mentioned 2 posts ago.

Why can't more women be truck drivers, police detectives, nuclear reactor facilitators, logistics workers, mechanics, or electricians? These jobs all happen to be high 5 figures and many are 6 figures.

It turns out, it has nothing to do with tech being sexist, and all to do with women on average being less likely to chase riskier careers in favor of more stable careers at the expense of a lower salary.[1]

>> At least do yourself the service of understanding why before you post the same tired and discredited arguments in opposition to this generation's increment of progress in tearing down societal sexism.

All this theorizing, and you still don't explain to me why we see the distribution of the AP testing that we do, why at gender-blind universities the rate of females is lower than those that practice affirmative action bar-lowering, and why you think discriminating against qualified men is an appropriate solution.

Until you provide feasible arguments to each of these, no amount of implicitly calling me a sexist is going to change my mind.

Thanks for your detailed feedback. Your suggestion for measuring the weight more precisely is what I’d been thinking but didn’t figure out how to do it. Introducing a third color is such a simple way to do it! I’ll look into this.

I will reconsider updating the histograms to reflect the current filtered subset. I tried this in the past but ended up with cases with very little results and thus small visible areas in the histograms that often required to reset filters. But I agree that this would better reflect the filtered data.

Thank you.
Operating locally. I've made a couple of moves with these type of movers. They were local moves and that was the first question when I called them. It was $X an hour, for 2 people, with a minimum number of hours.

Typically, they don't pack your items, either. They load, drive, and unload the truck. They may or may not disassemble furniture. For example, on several local moves, my dining room table was never disassembled; but, on a recent move of a couple of hundred miles, the legs were taken off.

The hard truth. I wonder if a new scheme of collaborative research (to share costs) out of academia can possibly pop out. But this is hardly possible given the high costs of equipment and consumables, especially in the natural and technical sciences.

Bygone are the days (in the 18th-19th century) when a single brilliant scientist could singe-handedly revolutionize his field in his home lab (the "garage" of the day).
A situation similar to academia.
I worked at a company who's flagship product was simply rebranded and sold by a competitor in another country. Their version didn't evolve or keep up with our improvements. By the time I worked there, about ten years had passed, and they were still a major competitor.
I don't see how the West is any different. We have credit scores, background checks, car accessories that report our driving patterns to insurance, smart locks that know when we're home, Google maps that knows all our location history, ...

Companies like Palantair are collating all of this for the government. You have a score in many 3 letter agency's database.

Source? (Genuinely curious.)
When deciding to do my PhD I did so under the assumption that I wouldn't work in academia afterward. I evaluated it like a any other job offer at the time and decided that the tax free pay, coupled with the freedom to run my project how I wanted and work on what I wanted (within reason) for a fixed period of time was a better offer than a grad scheme with BAE, Nissan, Seimens etc.

Doing a PhD built a large array of skills that I didn't have from my undergrad and allowed me to learn practical skills in a fairly low risk environment and explore other avenues. It let me realise that I wanted to start a business, it taxed me mentally like nothing before, it prepared me to hold myself accountable and that if I don't do the work then it doesn't get done and gave me the breathing space to work out what I wanted to do that my undergrad didn't.

As the article says, I don't think a PhD is only valuable for a career in academia, it can be an excellent bridge to industry if you are prepared for that at the end.

What do you mean by "setting up". Are you talking about the work to provision a working target environment (i.e. what the VM/Container runs) or are you talking about the literal time for the environment to start?
Use reserve instances or use spot. The price decrease substantially. Then when you don’t need it... you don’t pay it... it’s a good deal
