That they can "talk" to each other in their minds is very interesting to me. I've always wondered whether as humans our experiences are internally similar or not. Do you see my green as red? And so on. But if these girls can understand each other's thoughts that indicates that thoughts are similar. It means they share the same internal logic. Really this could be a good evidence to support the idea that we all think alike. I hope they grow up and their brains are able to mature normally. They will probably always have to share the body though, sadly.
Only if you derive your morals in a nature good/synthetic bad frame, which is terribly naive. Nature is filled with awful things and awful acts.

Self-reflexion is the ultimate unnatural act which is (almost if not) completely unique to our species, and it's not to hard to argue not entirely ubiquitous within us.

I’m interested too for similar reasons.
> schizophrenic patients

Schizophrenia has to do with some degree of failure to separate reality and delusion. It's got nothing to do with multiple personalities. Are you talking about dissosiative identity disorder, instead?
Let me recommend an author instead: Jacqueline Carey.

She writes in a beautiful language, writes gripping stories, sometimes includes erotic scenes which don't appear cheap, and the characters are well thought out. There's often some politics going on in the foreground or background, sometimes quite intricate.

Checkout the Kushiel series for classical fantasy, or "Santa Olivia" for young adult urban fantasy.

Other fantasy authors I'e read recently and enjoyed: Patrick Rothfuss, Peter v. Brett, Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks.
SURELY YOU'RE JOKING MR. FEYNMAN BY RICHARD FEYNMAN

-I loved this book for its humor, everyday practicality, how relatable it felt even without having a background in physics or knowledge about the pranks and experiments he conducted. As well as the book being well-written in the sense that it reads as if you're sitting on the couch with him as he's telling you stories about his life, all with a child-like sense of wonder and enthusiasm about the world.

THE $12 MILLION STUFFED SHARK BY DON THOMPSON

-I'm interested in the high-finance and fine-art worlds and this book discussed how they both go together - money and art - in an informative, quick-paced way.

THE BUY SIDE BY TURNEY DUFF

-For its humor, honesty, and how well written it was in terms of it being a page turner while also providing you with an insightful account about the high-finance industry.

MOLLY'S GAME BY MOLLY BLOOM

-It was an entertaining, quick-paced read about the private, high-stakes poker industry with an assortment of participants.

MONEYBALL, LIAR'S POKER & THE BIG SHORT BY MICHAEL LEWIS

-I thought they were all entertaining reads, while also being insightful about their respective subjects.

STEVE JOBS BY WALTER ISAACSON

-It was an illuminating read to me.

- - -

Separately, these books are on my list to read if anyone has opinions about them:

-Ghost in the Wires by Kevin
Mitnick

-Principles by Ray Dalio

-A Man For All Markets by Edward Thorp
This is a monstrosity. It’s not the 19th century anymore, we can now see this sort of thing a mile off. Why was the pregnancy allowed to continue?

The obstetrician should’ve killed them both, that’d have been the humane approach. I bet he just wanted to see if he could pull it off.

In before downvotes: this opinion is based on first person experience.
As for maintaining/reviewing, forgetting things is actually an excellent filter to see what pieces of knowledge are useful to you, and perhaps concentrate more on that in future. The stuff that you've forgot are the things that you just didn't ever needed. IMHO just let it go, let you brain do the garbage collection. You never really forget everything about the subject, all the basic concepts are remembered (even if you can't easily recall them) and if the need arises you'll just re-learn it.
Thanks - that was really helpful.

There are well-known ways to improve GPS accuracy, such as dGPS [1], inertial guidance, and beam-riding [2].

I think it unlikely that the US military has a secret second constellation of GPS-like satellites, operating on an undetectable secret frequency. Firstly, it would be difficult to launch and operate such a constellation in secret, and secondly, because augmenting the GPS data with independent, secondary sources operating with a different approach provides more redundancy and is proven technique for increasing accuracy.

The capability to limit accuracy in the satellite signal already existed – the fact that it was shut off is a strong signal that the perceived benefit is no longer important.

In my opinion, it's because the Go team put a ton of effort into getting M:N working and didn't rigorously evaluate any other alternatives in Go, once moving GC was implemented.

I'm not convinced that 1:1 wouldn't have been a perfectly reasonable implementation strategy for Go.
People are not incapable of everything just because they have some disability.

>Why socket.io instead of just plain websockets? Socket.io adds a lot of complexity in the client and the server. What commensurate benefit does it provide?

The real reasoning is browser support. Socket.io supports automatic fallback to AJAX long polling if the client doesn't support websockets. It also standardizes the interface across clients. It's essentially to websockets what jQuery is to the DOM.
Right - the undo stack is always for a "document" of some kind, and more importantly a single user view of a document. Multiple documents can be used (with a single or separate undo stacks) and a settings object can in theory also be viewed as a document although this is rarely the case.

A manager once asked for full undo in a GUI for a shared db. That's not possible...

My point was that if actions are dependent and undoable then they form a stack. If everything can be undone then all that you are affecting (including view state, config, ...) has simply become part of the document.

In the app I'm developing I'm distinguishing "actions" as being what a shortcut/button/menu item represents and "commands" as being document modifications.

Actions aren't necessarily undoable ("quit" is an example) but most actions end up as being commands, and those commands form the undo stack. Actions handle availability (enable/disable) etc. I think this is a fairly standard pattern for document based applications.
It’s sad they spent the article complaining about emoji rather tham explaining the cryptic claim in the title—obviously, unicode isn’t disappearing in any of our lifetimes.

py.test avoids XUnit or unittest style class-based tests for this reason (though it will run them if you insist). It opts for simple test functions instead. Fixtures are passed in explicitly as parameters rather than implicitly as class members or whatnot. The result of all this is quite similar to what the author proposes.
Look at it this way.

Let's say you're interested in, Machine Learning, Embedded Programming and VR, but you know nothing of any of them.

Really it goes beyond interest, we're not merely interested, we want outcomes. In 6 months time, I want to be able to make a nice computer vision project etc.

Let's say your estimates for how long each subtopic takes are 100% correct. A subtopic in itself, however, may not be very useful. It may be that you need to study perhaps 5 or 6 subtopics consecutively to be able to actually make something, or do something, or properly reason about something.

Then we split your focus over three major topics - given that it takes 5 or 6 subtopics to do something useful, you find yourself in a position where you're doing quite a bit of time management, quite a lot of studying, but you're not actually able to do anything for a long time. That knowledge you're building is just there, not actually useful or satisfying.

With this kind of self study, it's a bit like dieting or exercise. If you don't enjoy it, eventually, you'll stop. It might not be tomorrow, it might not be next week, but eventually, people will tend to just drop it if it's not satisfying.

Learning is hard, but I don't think it's hard in the way that topics are complex, I think it's hard emotionally, because it's kind of tough being 'not good' at something, especially if you're good at similar things. It only gets harder the longer you sit in that 'not good' zone and splitting your focus forces you to sit in that zone for longer.

That said, sometimes you're in a situation where having the ideal level of focus isn't possible - I certainly am in that situation. In which case, prioritisation helps manage learning. But at least one of the learning projects has to be progressing quickly, for me.

To the extent that the humanities are not "rational", whatever that means, they are a valuable and useful complement, and the world need not be driven by rationalism alone.

The humanities teach how to look from multiple perspectives, our values, what we believe and why, our self and our relation to society. It teaches critical thinking and analysis of complex, nonquantifiable factors, such as: should we declare war on North Korea? What does it mean to be Chinese American? Should I trust this person, website, or TV station? The humanities are about life, and virtually all the themes are immediately applicable in daily life.
Thank you! Making it easy to use and understand was really important to me, especially with flexbox.

Also, the community has been a wonderful suprise! I expected maybe a couple of comments with feedback, not a dozen pull requests in the first week. It's been a lot of fun seeing what others add to PaperCSS, and I'm excited to see how it evolves.
As-written legal distinction isn't very meaningful - legislators have written out the system's actors' culpability in the same manner that judges give it a free pass.

A general sense of morality/values isn't very productive for making an argument either, as that basically reduces to "gut feeling" and rationalization. Many people are scared of the 21st century bogeyman, and will kowtow to whatever thugs are purporting to ward it off.

Instead I would appeal to very basic concepts, like symmetry. For instance, if the defense team had carried out similar surveillance, would they be facing the same (lack of) consequences?
Very interesting presentation. From my perspective it was interesting that they used GitHub Enterprise with Drone for CI and Concourse and GoCD for CD. At GitLab we're planning a 'CI Only' mode http://bit.ly/2Aj70zv because companies like Datadog are using GitHub Enterprise with GitLab for the CI. Based on this presentation I've asked the team to rename it to CI/CD only to stress that people are able to use one application for both CI and CD.

BTW I'm not sure if this comment is adding to the conversation or if it is too self promotional. If it gets down voted I'll delete it.
At least within states, they more or less are: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/03/12/in-2...

My very first question on reading the headline was, but how will you get it down

Then I read the article:

Great article.

Exactly. I'm more worried about if someone can make a mask of someone's face (or even a print out) and get it to work.

But at least it's not like people have pictures of their faces plastered across every social network...

Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham - everyone goes blind and a bunch of sentient plants start eating people. one of the first science fiction books I ever read, and the one that introduced me to post apocalyptic fiction. Giant plants might sound silly, but its no more silly than walking corpses. And in fact the walking dead and 28 days later owe a lot to this book.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke - beautifully inventive fantasy novel about two magicians bringing magic back to Britain during the Napoleonic wars. Fab read.

Gateway - Frederick Pohl - pulp sf at its best. Humans discover a hollowed out asteroid worth ftl ships preprogrammed with unknown destinations. Prospectors pack as much food as they can and hit 'launch' in the hopes that they'll discover something valuable and not land on a star or starve to death.

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman - more great pulp sci-fi about the first interstellar war. Old man's war by John Scalzi is very similar and almost as good.

Most things by Iain (m) banks. Crow Road, Wasp Factory, The Bridge, Consider Phlebas, Use of Weapons, Player of Games etc. Song of stone was awful though, they're not all winners
So I assume you're male (as am I). I leaned that female clothing sizes have way more measurement specs than those of males, which must exacerbate this returns problem. Also female bodies seem to vary a lot more in measurement combinations than those of males.

Im mexican american, and grew up in a similar town in Missouri. I was 'normal' as I practiced good English and had no accent. But the casual racism was real, and I have trouble explaining it to those who think racism is only an explicit hatred.
Its a lifestyle habit for much of America and rather than discuss it I see people just bark and bark about how ignorant it sounds.

Tangential rant, but to circle the wagon to the point, these towns have some ways to go and will need a transformation culturally
Is it intentionally ironic or unintentionally confusing that the first instances that should be ":-)" have actually been converted into the emoji versions?
The original Emoji sort of made sense - there were a number of disparate systems already using the private use area. Now that we're inventing brand new ones that are going to literally live forever the unicode community should seriously consider hoisting them out and forcing carriers and other communication utilities to create proper standards for inline images.
Robinson Crusoe, swedish translation by May Bylock is probably the book i have read the most since the beginning of elementary school. Very short, can be read in a day.

Ghost In The Wires by Kevin Mitnick is a very interesting book that i recommend too.
> Surprisingly mathematical and theoretical knowledge was rarely discussed

Sounds like some direct parallels there with the software industry. I think I have heard CS stuff mentioned precisely once in the last decade, ironically by someone whose code I regarded as overly complicated gobbledygook.

The ratio of people who actually use maths and "hardcore" CS in their programming job to those who literally never do is probably 50 to 1.
> A local newspaper and a news channel picked up the story. The throng turned into a flood of visitors taking selfies with the plane. India's aviation minister came visiting, as did senior officials and a bevy of businessmen.

While your point is understood, he does seem to be being taken somewhat seriously.
Yes: at the end there should only be the light rt.js layer. Manipulating DOM is not in my scope; WASM is evolving on that front still. Currently rt.js has to expose a free method for handles, that may become unnecessary as WASM's gc capabilities develop

Thanks for the links
Seems to me like the authors are trying to restrict the use of the software by commercial pursuits, not the distribution. The GPL does the latter, but says nothing about the former.

> and which makes their lifestyles possible

Arguably computing as a discipline is an important part of what makes contemporary lifestyles possible, and most of it, especially the practical parts, resembles the liberal arts more than it resembles mathematics. Especially areas like programming languages overall operate more through argumentation and analogy than through proofs. Sure, there are subsidiary proofs involved that can tell you something useful about the building blocks, but the type-related theorems you find in appendices of POPL papers are just low-level machinery, not the real goal, which is a usable programming language that people can do real work with. That requires constructing an overall language and ecosystem through a pretty liberal-arts style methodology: looking at what worked previously, reasoning what went well and badly about that, critically considering illustrative examples (often carefully constructed examples designed to illustrate a point, similar to the thought experiments in philosophy), and attempting to improve things on the basis of all that. If you look at a Rich Hickey talk, for example, that's pretty much entirely how he proceeds. And even in POPL papers, that's what you find in the meat of most influential papers (as opposed to the appendices): the real result of an influential paper is typically a qualitative argument about programming constructs, where the argument is convincing and well supported by examples, by not "proven" in any mathematical sense.

Actually if you spell it out in your contract or master services agreement you can retain rights to the majority of the project for re-use. This is pretty common, most projects are modular and you can save them and future clients cost by re-using similar portions of code.

If they don't like this, then quote them a larger price if they don't want you to re-use their code in the future. Be careful not to give up your rights to create quiz apps for future clients or a possible future SaaS.

You'll want too include something like this, so they are clear you have the rights to re-use parts of their project on future projects. I would include wording that covers the quiz format/process in Type B as you might want to roll your own quiz SaaS app someday.

I am not an attorney, so have your's review prior to using.
