+1. The only assembly I ever learned was some 6502 assembly many, many years ago, and I didn't even learn that very well. But that didn't prevent me from later figuring out how to "crack" a bunch of BBS door games (with SoftICE for DOS) as a teenager. Hell, I'm not even a real programmer, and I was successful in bypassing the license protections on a (Linux) binary from Cisco a few years ago (although, ultimately, that was just NOP'ing out a "jump") using IDA Pro. That took me maybe 30 minutes to do. Thanks, +Fravia! [0]

I am very far from an expert on this stuff but I think that getting started is waaaay easier than people believe.

(N.B.: IDA Pro runs on Windows but even works on (Linux) ELF binaries.)

Anecdotal, but my vegetarian friend had "excessive protein" show up in a blood test. Which was surprising, because he's not trying to get extra protein. Personally, when I'm vegetarian (95% of the time) I just make sure to get some beans and grains and variety, and call it a day.

Do what I do, I call AMD CPUs "AMD", but AMD GPUs "Radeon"; but never call Nvidia GeForces "GeForces", instead just referring to them as Nvidia.

So, it isn't unusual for me to say "Intel", "AMD", "Radeon", "Nvidia" during the course of a conversation. AMD ended up legitimizing what I do when they split Radeon off as its own company (ala HTX.org and GloFo).

Too bad avoiding this just looks like a spaghetti mess with no cohesion. If you're going to be using a language, you might as well learn how it works instead of avoiding it with strange hacks. I'm also confused how the 'pure' version is less complicated than the class version. I see it the opposite?
This isn't intrusive spying. Collecting publicly available data is fair game and legal. Commercial data aggregators have prevented us from having any data privacy laws. The government may as well take advantage of a good deal too.

"And wouldn't the shock for the Chinese people just be that much worse when control over the information inevitably breaks down? "

Surprisingly this may not be the case.

Sitting next to a young Chinese national at the train station who goes to school in the USA ... he told me he likes that the 'state controls the press' for the following reason: 'because some crazy person could just, you know, get a knife and start killing people'.

It was all rather odd: that it's all about public safety, and avoiding 'crazy people with knives' - but oddly - he was living mostly in the USA. I asked him 'do you feel unsafe right now, in the US, that someone could come at you with a knife'? He replied that he did not. But the irony was lost on him.

There are a lot of people who support the 'one state / one party' thing even if they might disagree with some of the tactics here and there, they just see it in a different way.

In much the same way Russians on some level are very aware of Putin's curruption and yet look past it.
if the government really care of it's citizen, they should do it directly, by providing low cost/free basic necessity or basic income, etc. This way their citizen is not "forced" to work with these company you deemed "exploitative"

I don't completely agree with you about the "essential amino acid myth".

While true that plant proteins are not “incomplete”, it is also true that some aren’t absorbed as well [1] and are lower in certain essential amino acids than others. The article/video that you linked suggests that the essential amino acid profiles don't matter, even from plant proteins, because you get more than you need anyway but that's not true for everybody.

Importantly, if you're someone who is physically active or looking to gain muscle mass! When you're physically active, your body _does_ use almost all of the protein that you give it (at least, all of the protein it's able to absorb through digestion). And if you give it a deficiency in certain essential aa's that it can't create for itself, you can see less muscle growth. In that case, it is important to either stick to some of the more complete veggie proteins or to consume a combination of proteins that satisfy a complete amino acid profile.

I'd be happy to see research to the contrary.

I'd also encourage anyone reading to consider a vegetarian or vegan diet. Cutting out meat is pretty easy, even if you have to complement proteins for bodybuilding, and it's one of the best individual contributions you can make to inhibiting climate change.

They also have entire suite for debugging and logging the communications (e.g. rostopic, rosservice, rosbag, etc..). They even have rosbridge_websocket if you need web apps to interact with native apps and servers. They are also building ROS 2 which might be even nicer.

I think the value of unskilled, marginal time spent is effectively zero at times where the utilization is approaching zero.

What I think this demonstrates is that the issue is very uneven demand. An analogy might be the electric company, which at some points of the day is literally seeing net negative demand in areas with enough renewable generation. They have power plants that can run any time, though, whereas gig workers cannot always pick and choose when they work.

An Algorithm Is Coming for Your Food
I did read it, actually, poor as it was. And I stand by my statement, because in addition to Chinese knock-offs I can also buy online storage and VPS from any number of vendors, and Amazon need never get near my credit card number.

Whether its Chinese knock-offs or online storage, Cringley fails to make the case for "huge monopoly" just like Microsoft. Microsoft got their OS monopoly via business practices that they arguably should have been (but weren't) convicted of. Amazon is taking over the world because...oh, I'll let Robert tell you in his own words:

"Part of the reason AWS is gaining market share is because Microsoft’s Azure doesn’t boot virtual machines quite as fast."

Well, those fuckers, with their crooked business dealings...wait a minute, did you just say a VM on Amazon's product boots faster than Microsoft's? Be right back...

Of course, Cringley will proceed to tell us the awful outcome of this monopoly, just like it was back in the 90s and early 2000s with Microsoft:

"Put simply, AWS is a pain to deal with if you are a customer big enough to be in personal communication and not just a credit card number. This, too, is like the old Microsoft."

So, to recap, Amazon is taking over the world because they have a better product, but the downside is that their customer service sucks. Microsoft took over the world through questionable (some argue illegal) business practices, and the end result of that was that nearly every computer sold for 15 years had a "Microsoft tax" added. Yup, exactly the same.

As I said, I can avoid doing business with Amazon just fine, whether I'm buying fidget spinners or a place to put a VM. I had no such option with the Microsoft of old.

Both intriguing concepts. #2 is my interesting IMO as it can possibly be used for signing up for services that one doesn't want to display their primary email address. It also has a 'Snapchat' quality to it where email is a 'one off' and the account can easily be deleted, etc.

Also a way to manage accounts online (testing services, etc). It may be able to better manage issue of spam that many experience as all accounts are linked to one email for many users. Email communication becomes unnecessary for many accounts, plus authenticator apps and twilio make email less important.

That depends on what the alternative was. For those who have been pining after love but did not find any until later 'having loved and lost' might be a desirable alternative. For those who've been busy with other things - study, research, discovery, what have you - and never really thought about finding themselves a partner 'having loved and lost' would be a net-negative.
Actually you have proven the OP's point - There have been many knife attacks in China that injured and killed. Some reported, some aren't. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/10/china-knife-attack-1...

He most likely isn't aware of the big knife attacks in China because of censorship. But once the party collapses or the censorship breaks down (whichever comes first), Chinese citizens will find lots of bad information out in the open. Things that will make them angry, like the billions of dollars communist party bosses have escaped with to other countries. Or that their water supply is grossly contaminated.
It's starting to feel like China is a version of NK where they're allowed to leave the country (presumably in order to share the fruits of their 'logic' such as the case you mentioned).

The second law of thermodynamics does not seem to apply here. Without a source of energy entropy must increase.

No, I'd argue that same freedom of thought is precisely what gives us in the West a huge edge over those who fear losing control over their proletariat as we are able to innovate and create far better, and to think those things aren't important for engineers, mathematicians and businessmen is not borne out by economic results. Success in business especially relies greatly on being able to innovate.
> and they had better have bulletproof evidence

No you don't need that. The OTHER party needs to have bulletproof evidence, because the accuser is innocent until proven guilty.

If something is true, then you should never ever ever be afraid to say the truth. Go public with your true accusations, and then force the other side to sue you.

Because if you are telling the truth, then you will win, because the other side can't have evidence that you are lying, because the evidence doesn't exist.

It is basically impossible to get in legal trouble for libel, if you know that what you are saying is true.

You are innocent of libel and slander until proven guilt.

Usage of class is not bad. It definitely has its place. If you have some really “hot” code that’s a bottleneck for your application, then using class can really speed things up. But 99% of the time, that’s not the case. And I don’t see how classes and the added complexity of this is worth it for most cases (let’s not even get started with prototypal inheritance). I have yet to have a situation where I needed classes for performance. So I only use them for React components because that’s what you have to do if you need to use state/lifecycle methods (but maybe not in the future).

Why would classes have any inherent performance benefits (and over what) ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the original author was not arguing that we should eat meat for our protein.

I didn't make it clear: I meant UI state, not application state. DOM manipulation is inherently stateful, and there is no way websockets are going to help with it.

Now your state can live in up to three places: DOM, JS and backend. It's even easier to desync UI state unless you rebuild the page from scratch (sending complete HTML as in old-school AJAX... or using React and the likes to make it fast enough to apply a diff of DOM changes).

I live in Texas (DFW). I pay close to 10k a year to the school district. They spent over 2 million dollars on my sons high school this summer to replace the grass on the football field with artificial turf. They also destroyed what looked like a brand new baseball field to replace it with a brand new baseball field. Across the street at the middle school they also replaced the grass with artificial turf for the grade 6-8 kids. The football field is of the same caliber as the Dallas Cowboys use.

My son told me a couple of days ago that the PC's in his computer lab are complete garbage and barely work (I bought him an Mac Airbook for his birthday) so he uses his own laptop. He says the lab equipment(physics, Chemistry, Biology) is also marginal. The ignorant fools in my district just passed a Bond Election for like 300 million dollars for God only knows what. My taxes went up by about $500 bucks to the school district.

It now almost costs the same amount to send one kid to High School as it does to send the other kid to UoT (Dallas). Where does it end? I don't know.
> ADTs allow you to clarify and safely handle otherwise vague data.

This is false. You can program with clear, strong, safe semantics without needing to taxonomize/classify your business domain/entities with ADTs.

In most business applications, ADTs hurt you: they are used to pre-classify the world in ways (unnecessary ways) that very frequently collide with future system evolution & future use-cases.
