The only objective ‘purpose’ seems to be the evolutionary imperative to successfully reproduce, but I’m not convinced that even that one matters.

Other than that, life is basically a choose-your-own-adventure game with rules/constraints superimposed by the nature of our reality.
I've only read Head First Design Patterns but I'd also vouch - the examples were silly but I think did a great job.
I printed a blank strip of "White on Black" label tape and stuck it over on my MBP. I only see it when I'm in a super bright environment, such as in sunlight. Otherwise I forget its there.
Yes, I also looked into options. The options I considered were Bitwarden and the CLI open source solutions such as pass. I don't mind paying for a service like this, but it has to be reasonable.

Bitwarden is programmed by a "Microsoftie" (that used to be more of a problem back in the 00s and 90s than it is in the 10s). Its programmed in .NET, they host at Azure, and they use MS-SQL for data storage. But that's about the only negative thing I got against it. Because you don't have to store in the cloud (and you can even run the Ruby code native on *NIX now).

Ideally I'd prefer to have say GPGed databases of my passwords and my calendar on one or two clouds (like say Google Drive; 15 GB should be enough) and have seemless integration with Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, Windows but that isn't feasible. You'll end up with browser extension because it is practical.

One threat model they don't protect against is hostile JavaScript code. All browser extensions suffer from that problem though.
> I don't think non-Europeans should waltz in and install a totally foreign system of property and governance, and then make a special effort to fuck over those Europeans who still try to maintain a semblance of their former way of life at the margins of the new regime.

These are quite extraordinary and inflammatory claims to be made without significant evidence.

Edit: I see you have created a strawman by combining the GPs post about Europe with the Hawaii zuckerberg situation.

Edit 2: and despite the fear mongering of the cultural far right in Europe (and the US) neither is any situation like the native Hawaiians via a vis Zuckerberg.
Lessons Learned from a History of Oil(2015)
The one about the government electing a new people is hilarious, but one should keep in mind that Brecht initially supported the GDR regime after the June 17th, 1953 worker's uprising (in which the GDR regime used the army against its own citizens, resulting in scores of dead)

Only later did he distance himself from the party and write Die Lösung.
I like this as an example of using docker-compose to tie together a bunch of services written in different languages.

One thing I found confusing: I expected that the Dockerfile in https://github.com/elgris/microservice-app-example/tree/mast... would automatically compile and build the Go application, but it looks like that's a manual step at the moment?

Do birds spend time observing the nest of their peers? AFAIK the only nests they care about are their own (though I'm definitely not an ornithologist, I'm mostly ignorant about them in general).

But that's the beauty of Darwinism, whether the information is stored in the genes or in their culture (memetically) doesn't matter, the selection/amplification process is the same.

Me, too! I may have been as surprised as you.
This is interesting, but practically speaking, isn't it better to stick to one language on backend and one on frontend? Seems like you'd need to be proficient in nodejs, go, java and javascript.
The problem is that while I can admit that most of the victims are indeed victims. It is also possible that some might be accused infairly or inaccurately.So I would not really call it a fine way.
Sounds like you're focusing on the tokamak approach to nuclear fusion. There are fusion approaches that avoid some of those hurdles.

Has to be compiled with Babel, though.
Those look interesting. But wouldn't fit in my home office...
There's already a proposal for field declarations, where you can do the following:

class Foo {
bar = () => {
console.log(this);
}
}

This basically puts `this.bar = () => console.log(this)` in the constructor, and since it's an arrow function it captures the correct context.

Several comments in this thread seem to purport that we shouldn't say or assume anything about the truth of the matter until he is proven guilty in a court of law.

That's a really ridiculous standard, for a few reasons:

- The standard of proof in a criminal trial is "beyond a reasonable doubt", which is a very high bar to meet. (FWIW, I think it meets it in this case). We made it that high because we would rather a guilty person walk free than put an innocent person in jail. The costs of you and I incorrectly choosing not to associate with someone are far lower. There are other standards for guilt in other cases, such as "more probable than not" in civil trials.

- A prosecutor may believe a crime has occurred but decline to bring a case for a number of reasons (limited budget, jurisdiction, statute of limitations, difficulty or unreliability of evidence, because they think they don't have a good chance to win)

- We make decisions all the time about who we'll partner with, who we hire, who we fire, based on standards far lower than this. In general it's not a crime to be an asshole but you'd never say I should wait until it's proven in court before deciding not to hire one.

There's more than enough evidence about this person specifically, and in most cases, for me/you to feel fine never associating with this person, or working with an organization he's involved with, ever again, even if a court of law never gets involved.
It's a figure of speech meant to convey irony.
The underlying mechanism are called links and monitors. When a process fails a message is delivered to other processes which makes the exception asynchronous toward processes which you want to receive them.

As other threads say you use this to build supervision trees.
I can easily borrow against my home equity. I cannot easily borrow against my index funds. Home equity also delivers an almost-fixed tax rate in California (prop 13) and numerous other deductions and incentives, none of which stock investments provide.

Home equity is much more powerful than a fund investment, they are not equals.
> All your recent comments (on this thread and others) are anti-blockchain

This has nothing to do with the merit of the argument.

> you provide no tangible argument other than ‘centralized servers already do this fine.

This is a strong argument because the cost of blockchain decentralization is extremely expensive so it has to provide a very compelling value to be worthwhile.

> Ever seen the clip of Ballmer talking about the original iPhone? He says it will fail because it’s slow, expensive and you can already send email using a blackberry. That POV has not aged well.

That's not a "POV", it's a criticism that can be applied to any expensive alternative, whether or not the criticism is accurate depends on the specific circumstances, so trotting out an example of when someone incorrectly evaluated the value proposition of the expensive alternative does not prove anything.

Additionally, this entire reply is a complete red herring because this discussion is not about the potential future successes of blockchain technology, it's about the usefulness of this specific example (selling blockchain tokens as shares of ownership in a property). The bottom line is that nothing is gained by using a smart-contract, but they are slow and expensive so using them is worse than a trusted centralized system.
You could mathematically prove that the return from providing free education in terms of the incoming taxes from an extremely educated and capable working population will outweigh any benefits from effectively strapping people down into indentured servitude. How many jobs are being lost because would be job creators are locked into something less than their full potential to service these kind of exploitation loans? How many more businesses and jobs would be developed if we didn't have Sallie Mae vampiring a huge chunk of productive potential?

I haven’t dived into the details on your product offering but I will say this : getting people to give you money for something is much harder than you might expect if you’ve (a) never tried before and (b) believed the lore from the “startup-industrial complex”.

Consider the things that are sure-fire sellers: drugs; things you might go to jail if you don’t buy; things that cure severe pain (e.g. dentists); things that might get you sued if you don’t buy. The further away your product is from these things the harder it is to sell for $$. Just being “kind of useful” doesn’t typically work unless you’re very lucky. It needs to be more like “make $1000/week extra income freelancing with our amazing secret sauce” (but what would that sauce be given that web sites and CRM are commodified long ago?)

I think also you may have overestimated the size of your market: you’re not even selling to “freelancers”, which I suspect is quite a small market, but rather “people starting freelancing” which is a much smaller market again. Anyone who is already freelancing by definition doesn’t need help starting.
And radioactive. Which changes the atoms if which your containment material is made of. Which makes things much, much more difficult.

Yes it is. This makes no sense at all if you are a solo developer working on a smallish project.

Herman Miller Aeron chair I've had forever and ever, 15-20 years? So long I'm not sure. Still looks great and works great. I spent nearly a grand on it, but the best money I ever spent on a chair.
Do you intend to become a search engine for contractors, like freelance.com? If you don't, offering a public profile page is completely out of sync with your value proposition. 'Professional freelancers' already have their own website, and would use this product as a backoffice tool.

This other video is miles better than the one featured in the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23V3LmRUb4, it took me a while to figure out what all those inputs and forms were about.
Fantastic example of contemporary entrepreneurial life: come to the hub to get exposure: build your network, increase your value, and understand what motivates and drives your passion, then move on because there are easier places to truly take root than SF.

SF doesn't offer the density of New York City, or the exposure to creative/media infrastructure of LA. What any of these blockchain currencies lack right now is mainstream appeal, LA would be fantastic for building that once she's got the tech right.

Her bio drops a strong hint:

>I have a passion for understanding things at a fundamental level and sharing it as clearly as possible.
What is the article talking about when they say "radiation-hardened materials"? What kind of materials might that be?

You sound like a seller of the product, not a customer.

"Award winning". Most awards are bullshit so when people use it as a plus it just indicates they have nothing more than bullshit to sell.

It's just an associate role, basically being the first line of defense against people wasting the firm's time.

I suspect many firms call them "partners" these cays to prevent companies from not going to meetings once they realize they're only being put in front of an associate with no actual decision making power.

What if you take into account the non-linear value of money, though? This seems to be missing in most accounts of inequality.
Looks like a good book – thanks for the recommendation!

I’m curious - does it suggest ways for citizens to change this?
Innocent until proven guilt works both ways.

If someone publicly accusing another person of a crime, the accuser is innocent of slander and libel unless you 100% prove that they are being malicious.

It is completely within your right to show evidence to the world and someone should not ever get in trouble with the law if everything that they have presented is true.

The only way you can convict someone of slander is if you prove that they were lying. Good luck doing that, because you almost certainly won't succeed.
The general notion of "innocent until proven guilty" is simplistic even when applied to just the legal system. Even in criminal court you only have to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You do not have to "prove" guilt to the same degree of confidence as, say, the Higgs boson.

This means that a small number of innocent people are convicted every year. This is unfortunate, but less bad than the alternative — the only way to guarantee no false positives is to never convict anyone.

The legal system, like any other justice system, is about finding an appropriate balance between false negatives and false positives.
While this helps diversify, it doesn't really affect the transition of the Norwegian economy, though - the oil fund only invests outside of Norway. There is a much smaller fund that does invest in Norway, and the Norwegian government does own a substantial proportion (about 1/3 last time I checked) of the total value of the Oslo Stock Exchange, but that's a separate issue from the oil fund.

Fukushima was built when the nuclear power industry was 13 years old. Now it's 63 years old.

You are seeing the folly of youth, with consequences delayed 60 years, not a design that would be typical of new construction.
And if you think monad transformers are the answer to anything, maybe you should let go of your books and try some real problems for a change. I spent several years digging into Haskell; but in the end I couldn't shake the feeling that it's more about mental masturbation than practical problem solving, which is fine if that's what you're looking for. Even the poster child feature of GHC, Software Transactional Memory; is barely usable outside of neat tricks and toy problems.
True and fair enough. The reason why I posted it was in the hopes that someone visiting Colombia would at least be aware of the possibility of this unique type of criminal attack. It is totally out of comprehension for most people from other parts of the world, being as is we are numb to armed attacks.

"Neutron embrittlement" is a term to chase down. Generally people talk about the effects on metal, but I'm sure neutrons affect ceramics, too.
It does do active management in some asset classes. E.g. real estate purchases and the like. It also does buy or divest shares based on various other consideration, such as ethical rules.

I don't know what they did in this particular instance, but basically there are two things you can do: shield, or in the case of electronics, use larger parts.

The smaller some piece of electronics is, the smaller the charges in there are, and the easier it is to introduce errors with ionizing radiation.

Some, but not all, especially not the issue of fast neutrons turning whatever your make your reactor out of, into crumbly crap. Now, I know that some people are placing bets on forms of aneutronic fusion, but realistic forms still produce enough neutrons to ruin metal, that's just not their primary means of transmitting energy. Worse, they require temperatures/pressures far in excess of what's realistic any time soon, except possibly for very brief bursts in the lab.
The difference here is that you can buy everything shown in that video (except the explosive) on Amazon. The drone can even be bought pre-made, all you need to do is implement a more capable system for autonomous control, which is also doable for simpler scenarios.

This is in comparison to the significant difficulty of making a barrel or any of the mechanical parts for an AK-47.
That's the idea, right?

+1 for multiple sources. I've yet to find a single source that is clear and understandable across the board. Switch between sources when a topic seems to be unusually difficult to understand. Then go back to your original, favorite source.

Note that I do not think this applies to books that simply showcase and act as a more advanced reference of programming languages. Those are normally plain enough, I think.

For others subjects, like math or CS, multiple sources have always proven invaluable for me.

I highly doubt the tech elite weren't contacted at one point or another by an alphabet agency, or they weren't being monitored by the government.

I personally think tech has shown us how deeply divided we have always been. We just didn't realize it because we didn't start sharing so much of our personal lives on social media until around 2007.
That's certainly a valid argument, but the most compelling use-case for a microservice architecture is when your organizational structure (and the specific technical strengths that come with that) mirrors the application structure. There may be a really good reason to write one backend API in Go and the other backend APIs in Java, or whatever. This architecture simply takes that constraint as a premise. Solutions that prescribe diverse polyglot architectures without this constraint are, as you seem to intuit, missing the point.
It's a tough choice to follow sometimes. I know very very well that different perspective makes a world of difference (one book left me dry for 10 years, another unlocked me in a week). But it's hard sometimes to keep progress on many fronts.

I still second your system. Makes me wanna try.
The debate is not over totalitarian regimes but over symbols, flags and emblems. If you don't understand the difference between what the communist flag and the Nazi flag represent, you may find it hard to understand why Nazi symbols are banned or restricted in various countries [1], while communist/socialist flags are waved with pride to this day, not only in many Western democracies but even in Russia [2]. In my country (Israel, where over 10% of the population is comprised of people who fled Soviet oppression), communism/socialism has been practiced (although not on a national level) for over 100 years in a democratic way, and on May 1st, kids in leftist youth movements carry red flags and sing the Internationale.

Communist symbols (like, say, the Spanish flag), despite having been adopted by some of the most horrific and oppressive regimes, do not represent oppression or dehumanization, and they have also served as the flags of peaceful, democratic parties and organizations. The same is true for capitalist symbols, which, despite genocidal regimes (e.g. Belgium) are not recognized as hate symbols. Nazi symbols, however, are qualitatively different.

BTW, to the best of my knowledge, even the professor in question is not posting pictures of Stalin or the Khmer Rouge flag.
