Most rooms do have dead spaces where the "age of air" is higher than the well-mixed parts of the room. So you can expect some of the room air to go through the filter more, and some less.

There are a few reasons this effect probably doesn't matter so much. First, the dead spaces tend to be places where people don't breath -- in closets, under furniture, in corners, near ceilings, etc. Second, where people do go, they bring thermal plumes and activity-generated eddies, which tend to mix up room air. In fact, the act of breathing also provides mechanical power that will promote mixing. The filter itself also blows air, giving more mixing than if the filter wasn't present.

The net effect is that the participating volumes of the room, where people tend to breath, probably get mixed at a rate similar to, or greater than, the rate at which the filter scrubs the air. Any non-participating volumes act as slow-filling and slow-releasing reservoirs, which delay the room's response to changes in outdoor concentrations.

I would worry more about the filter only cycling the air 4-5 times per hour. That's probably faster than the effective release rate of the indoor sources with which Mr. Hefferman (the expert cited in the NYTimes article) seems to have have experimented. However, it's the same order of magnitude at which outside air gets into most houses (especially in the parts of California affected by these fires). My gut feeling is that implies the filter isn't going to keep up so well -- though I'd want to model it to say anything definitive.
This is a great idea! I would love to have an interview where I was presented with some terrible code and asked how I would refactor. That would be so much more relevant to actual work experience than solving technical puzzles.

10+ years, working in 3rd or 4th game studio.

no issues, but with certain employers the crunches can be quite intensive. escpecially when promised 'relief after crunch' never really comes.

with decent employer and if you like math and coding as such, it's an amaze-balls (i believe is the expression) job to have: very broad spectrum of problems that the coding of the games involve and almost free hand in realization and the best part is that performance and memory really matters, and there's no way around it.
what i like the most is lower level (sometimes significantly) of corporate bullshit, and that's true even for bigger studios.
it's a bit like in quantum physics: "shut up and calculate!" except we code.
My wife tracked the breast feeding data. Very useful to know how long (so you know roughly home much the baby is getting) and which side (so you can alternate). Without an app this is difficult enough to keep track of e.g. remembering the few feeds in the middle of the night.
Would we have survived without it - absolutely. Did it give reassurance, make thing easier - yes. One of the few apps I've ever paid for.
But just feed data didn't bother with sleeps, tummy time, dirty/wet nappies.
I agree it's largely better than nothing, though there was that paper recently that got pulled because the authors couldn't agree on the ordering of the names.

> the USSR's side was largely propped up by the US lend-lease program

This is an oft repeated lie we tell ourselves. US contribution to USSR's military production was less than 1%. And by the time our "help" reached the soviet union, the soviets had already beaten the germans.

The battle of moscow ended in January 1942. That's when ww2 in europe was over. The rest was brutal clean up duty by the soviets.

> Without such support, the USSR would have faced the same problem that Germany did: a critical inability to properly supply their front-line troops.

Firstly, germany's problem was lack of oil. Not the number of trucks. Secondly, The soviet military industry was the largest in the world until we joined the war and their military production was never affected. And the soviets had tons of oil. Only second to the US.

The lend-lease history saving the soviet union is propaganda. If we had stayed neutral in ww2, the soviets would have beaten the germans. Other than stalin giving up, there was no way for germany to beat the soviet union. Look at the stats.

I tried to switch to the open source Disconnect when I heard Ghostery was acquired by an ad company, but it wasn't on Ghostery's level.

The redirect / social button blocker with the "allow once" option is really pleasant.
We were worried about this too, but in practice it hasn't been an issue. I think perhaps if it were just me or just my wife, it would be a little tougher. But the current flow will sometimes go: wife starts feeding baby, I start a timer for her while her hands are full, one of stops the timer and makes a quick entry when she's done.

Feedings are probably the hardest ones to be consistent with, sleep, diaper changes and tummy time all kind of flow naturally.

Breaking Up the Behemoth – How Applications Evolve
When you become a tenured professor, the amount of work you do is far less than the vast majority of other jobs with a similar salary.

This is just laughably untrue. Sure, we may be able to dig out examples of tenured professors doing the minimum they can get by with. But you can find rare examples in pretty much any profession - the point is that they are rare.

Pretty much all the tenured professors I know well work their asses off - and due to area of expertise, many of them could make 2x - 5x salary in industry but aren't interested.
I've been using the P100 on Softlayer and was impressed. Looks like V100 may be 2..3x faster on some tasks, will be interesting to test it.

P.S. with that memory speed, it can probably run 300..400MH/s on ETH.
A few years ago we used BabyConnect by Seacloud, having it as an app that worked offline and synced was very useful.

NB: On your screenshot it says 'Last Feed: Formula, Left Breast' - that confused me, then I realised you're probably doing both (maybe? some people supplement breastfeeding with formula).

Is there a way to record how long a breastfeed was? That's pretty important.
or an end of day prompt with a really quick and simple survey.

of course, for some of us, having a newborn means you completely lose track of time. I was off for 4 weeks when our first was born in the height of summer. we slept whenever she slept. I remember waking up once when it was sunny outside, seeing "8:00" on our 12-hour bedside clock and literally not knowing if it was 8 in the morning or 8 in the evening.

Doesn't Ghostery too make money from selling their hoarded user data to the very same advertisers and marketers?

This is a pretty cool idea! Currently the app only has a minimal (Django REST) API, but expanding it to those sorts of functions would be really neat.
It would be nice if GitHub offered a grouping function for "random" forks. Sometimes you just fork something out of interest or to fix some small bug and they mess up your profile...
It's not going to be a simple constant factor. The ideal case will be the same - ultimately the CPU is doing the same work (so provided the JIT picks it up correctly it'll be executing the same instructions) and the GPU is running literally the same shaders, so performance should be identical. It's more a question of how much work you have to do to hit that happy path, and what edge cases pull you off it.
Which also has an interesting opt-in Business Model.

My Crohn's disease impairs my ability to absorb nutrients, and so my doctor has instructed me to supplement several things, including B vitamins and calcium.

In the past he's given me prescriptions for these supplements, but these are vastly more expensive than the equivalent OTC versions (and yes, I've checked that it really is the equivalent molecule). So I'd hate to see new regulations that would increase my expenses just because some people believe in some kind of voodoo nutrition contrary to best practices.

No, they are not unrelated. Isolation yes, and through that, you get repeatability. We can all agree that declaratively describing your environment (Salt, Chef) is preferable to the rather simplistic Dockerfiles currently in use, but both aim to accomplish the same time. I remember the pre-container days of re-running Salt/Puppet scripts over and over again in a VM until it works. Nothing wrong with that - they're great tools. I also remember the pre-Salt/Puppet days of using shell scripts. None of the above are great: conf. management + docker is a better solution long-term for building a container image.

Random advice from the internet:

1. Initiate the conversation about payment yourself. Be straight forward along the lines of:

+ I enjoy spending time with you and your staff and would like to see the continued success of your company.

+ I believe that my consulting services will create significant value.

+ Here is my proposal.

+ Please let me know if you have any questions.

However, I would not be surprised if the staff at the company acts offended (I would not be surprised if the did not, either). Some people rationalize the exploitation of another's goodwill and react negatively when the person of goodwill complains (though it is possible for a person to exploit another's goodwill unknowingly).

Even in an established consulting business, sometimes clients must be fired.

Good luck.
It shouldn't even be returning URLs, it should return URL hashes. Even returning URLs seems like a privacy nightmare.
Haha, shit. That's unfortunate in the screenshot. Just a symptom of the fake data generation.

The app does keep track of breast feeding duration as well, but so far we (my wife and I) haven't done much with that data so it's not well represented.

I am talking about rebuilding the Vagrant image every time you change it - as you are wont to do during the initial step of creating it. Sure, once it's written (by someone who has to spend a fair amount of elapsed time doing trial-and-error tweaks) then you don't have to re-cycle the image. On the other hand, that too can result in people using stale images over time as the configuration drifts.
Very good points. Especially the glyph-specific features you mention (a, g, …) are definitely of my interest and the origin of the project. I think I‘m only at a point where I arrived at a basic foundation that hopefully will enable me to do the things you mention. Thanks for your insights!
Sounds like you are burned out.

Think back of the times when you were actually excited and driven to write software. What was different back then? You probably had an awesome team and build some really cool and interesting stuff.

Take some time off, 2-3 weeks and change your environment. I.e. long cruise, backpacking through Europe or South America. Something that will pull you completely away from technology.

You need to rest your mind.

When you come back, if you think your work sucks, or your job sucks, then go out there and find something that aligns with your values. There's plenty of software to be build, and plenty of people building it, some of which align closely with your values. You just have to keep looking.

>No, but the protocol does ensure that every individual clone of a repository is a full mirror, and that everyone can work offline and synchronize via USB drives if they should need to.

Correct, but what I was addressing was the recurring sarcasm of "why did we settle for a centralized service like Github when Git itself is decentralized?" ... everytime Github has an outage.

Some people truly don't connect the dots as to why source code repo centralization exists despite the fact that Git is decentralized. To them, Github centralization seems like a weird irrational phenomenon. No, it's actually a quite natural and expected phenomenon!
I'm going to guess that the logic behind your 'relatively attainable goal' here is 90% dependent on the fact that far more people can aspire to be a footballer than a professor, due to the general requirement for a PhD. I would think the pool of people aspiring to be footballers is orders of magnitude larger.

They've also been weeding themselves out from doing something that's pretty much exactly the task ("playing football at a slightly younger age against somewhat less good players") for a while - while future-professor-types may well have been doing a range of activities only weakly correlating to future success in the academy.
I'm so glad I do not need this....yet!
Good luck! Let me know if you give it a try, and if you think of anything that could be added/improved. Having the data has been so incredibly help for me and my wife.
I am curious as to what those other creative fields are (honest question).
Looks fantastic! One thing I've noticed is that most existing baby-related apps aren't very well designed. Most have plenty of good-enough features, but there always seems to be a slapdash effort that sleep-deprived parents will commit to and never look back from. This is a real nice departure from that, great to see the effort.

One suggestion would be to add an import option, for those of us who already have some data.

My wife isn't CL-user, so this isn't for us. If you're looking for recommendations, she and I are using Feed Baby (http://feedbaby.com.au) because it's got great graphs and really flexible good features without the social crap of Glow. Definitely worth the $6 for unlimited syncing.

I went on my own, with an Australian passport. I don't think English is widely spoken. You can use couchsurfing, there are lots of enthusiastic hosts. I think this is the best way.

1. I'm driving, I've started Waze on my phone, and she needs to adjust destination/settings. Same for Pandora or anything else while I'm driving.

2. We're in Europe, and only using a single phone to avoid massive data fees. Verizon is $10/day/phone to use existing data plan, which works well for long weekend trips (longer trips, I'd buy a local SIM and deal with using a different phone number).

3. One of our phones is unusable (forgot it, battery dead, etc), so need to use the other.

My understanding is that crunch time (as well as the release of flagrantly buggy games with patches coming later) is driven primarily by marketing schedules/budgets. Ad buys, press releases, interviews etc. are negotiated and coordinated months in advance, and big releases from any given publisher need to be staggered largely so that they don't all demand marketing money at the same time.

Sure, but until they actually allow it, I'll stick with a 7 or 8.
First, people look really hard to discern whether or not the constants are constant. So far, they are. See [1-3] for quick examples.

Second, if the constants were changing, we could simply reference to the value of the constant on a certain date. As the rate of change is now guaranteed by existing experiments to be small, any shift would be very tiny, and easily calculable.

The question of the constancy of constants remains a very good one. That question is, by its very nature, its own constant of science.
