I just care about things other than my career, and I'd rather spend most of my mental energy on things I do for pure enjoyment and not on things I have to do out of economic necessity.

For example: I've spent a large chunk of my free time over the last few months learning how to typeset signs in fansubs and make them look good, something that has no economic utility whatsoever, but makes me really happy when I typeset something that looks good. Yeah, sure, I could have spent that time furthering my career by developing a marketable tech skill, writing tools for my company on my own time to impress management, or writing an open-source piece of software to pad my GitHub portfolio, but I'd rather do something fun for myself than do any of those.
160k is around 0.15% of Japan's population, and there's plenty of space for them to move to since the countryside is rapidly depopulating. Of course, it's not quite that easy to forcibly migrate people in practice...

Gatling is great, and the best thing to use if you want performance and fine grained analysis. It's easy to use, great html output with graphs. You can also output to a bunch of other formats, and easily break out into scala. Don't let the scala put you off though, its mostly a really simple and clean dsl. The docs are good too!
Ukraine and Russia were practically in a shooting war a few years ago. It's about as "ok" as walking around your Californian office calling people "Confederates"... if the civil war happened in 2014.

Is there no limit to the disingenuous number of comments by shills in this thread? Who in their right minds think that one's online presence must be so totally ubiquitous? Such insidious brain-washing promoted by websites such as ABOUT.ME and FLAVORS.ME lulls the weak-minded into believing that personal transparency is entirely harmless. But for what purpose? MONEY. "It's a terrible thing to lose one's mind."
Right now I have two general repos:

1. tomboy desktop wiki. Realistically, this is usually a write only repository for me to get ideas out that I never follow up on. But I like to think the exercise is beneficial, or at least thereapeutic.

2. rocketbook wave + frixion pens. Phone calls, meetings, random engineering diagrams, and the occasional Nikoli puzzle go in here. I just went through my first scan-in and heat erasure cycle, seems to work? These notes I do occasionally refer back to, with I'd imagine an exponential decay model. Needing to know the name of the recruiter I talked to and what they said is more important in the week after than the month or quarter after. Some day I'll try adopting bulletjournal's note style. But for now, meh.

Edit:

I don't even think of these as notes, but I do use a lot of todo lists. I have a Trello board for my video game collection, to track what I have, whether I can sell it, and where i've listed it for sale (and at what price). I have another Trello board for general todos, a caldav server that I've been ignoring lately, and some tasks in google cal that I've also been ignoring.

> You write that the frequentist doesn't answer the question, but it does. It answers: P(H') = (H/H+T)^H'

The question was asking for P(H' | H, T), not P(H').

> You also write that the frequentist solution fails to give an error estimate, yet you don't show that the Bayesian solution does give one.

Because there is no error? In the proof I assume P(p) is known and then after that every step follows from a law of probability. There is no error to be accounted for in the procedure. The only caveat is that we need to know P(p) to be able to perform the procedure, which is a caveat that I point out at least 3 times in the page.
Right. Chemically, most things are helium-resistant. It's a noble element.

It's apparently just that someone came up with a way to allow the gas that forms inside the metal to escape by allowing nanocomposite phases to link up as He is generated.

> improve the structure

The key question is: Who would have paid for it?

Once running, much of the structure is considered to be radioactive. Work in active radioactive areas is expensive and time consuming. Without shutting down the reactor entirely followed by an expensive cleanup, doing major structure upgrades to the reactor chambers is virtually impossible.

They also couldn't just decommission it once they realized their errors and rebuilt another one somewhere else - again the costs would have been astronomical.

People are terrible at managing (what was then) theoretical risks. If you can't convince people and companies to move out of proven high-risk earthquake areas, imagine trying to convince tax payers to pay billions to upgrade or move a functional-but-theoretically-vulnerable power station.
Running an HVM with a separate kernel should alleviate those problems. Qubes is phasing out PV support anyway.

I encounter an equal amount of complexity in my KVM workstation as I did in my Qubes workstation, and more problems.

For example, lack of a secure copy/paste mechanism, meaning I must type passwords by hand to avoid every VM being exposed to the clipboard.
Man gets threats–not bug bounty
Estimating bandwidth costs is fun. From Azure [0], "Within a given region, we can support up to 1.6 Pbps of inter-datacenter bandwidth.". Pretty reasonable to assume this is industry standard capability. Using 0.09 $/GB pricing, the sticker price for a second comes at about $16k, or about $41B per month. We're several orders of magnitude off a reasonable figure. Safe to say cloud providers are charging exorbitant markups for bandwidth, which coincidentally helps customer lock-in.

Thanks. This way it makes at least some sense. But isn't it a way too brutal and still a way irrational from the society point of view? Effectively ridding a skilled person of a life, setting them broke and probably homeless as the result at the same time while funding other peoples welfare and undertaking all kinds of efforts to solve homelessness and joblessness problems on the other hand?
> its use would come mainly from bounds checking

That is where the memory safety comes from. But the use comes from things like:

1. strlen, strcat, etc., become obsolete, replaced by far
more efficient code

2. looping over an array contents becomes straightforward

3. documenting the extra variable holding the dimension of the array becomes unnecessary

I.e. a host of benefits.
That's basically what they say at the end of the article:

“I’ve been a robotic engineer for 30 years, and we’ve never faced anything as hard as this,” said Shinji Kawatsuma, director of research and development at the center. “This is a divine mission for Japan’s robot engineers.”
I try to get people from government assistance (people who really need it). Recently CalWorks agreed to pay each student I take from them $13/hour for up to 6 months, so that really helps lighten the load on my wallet. All of them come with very little computer knowledge, let alone math or cs background. One of them never took a math class in high school.

Don't ask too much from them if your goal is to help them. People with less social resources have confidence issues (even though most don't show it) so compliment them frequently and make sure to tell them what they are doing well. Let them take their time!

What works for for me is that I have my students teach more beginner students so it lightens my teaching load and I can focus leading the engineering team. If someone is having a hard time understanding something, they just keep teaching that topic over and over again until they get it.
By nuclear disaster do you mean weapons use or just a power generation accident? I've never heard of a power plant accident potentially leaving a big portion of the Earth uninhabitable for centuries, but if there is something please enlighten me!

This is something that is incredibly sad for me. I've considered learning other languages simply to appreciate literary works better, but life seems to get in the way (more likely: I'm just not that motivated). Being bilingual, I've seen just how much can be lost in translation... I can only imagine the things I miss when I read, e.g. Les Misérables in English .... :(
Compared to what is possible at equal or less cost it is quite appalling how bad the system is. The challenge is that most of us are products of it. Homeschoolers sound nuts. Any change to the system feels like a risk. Those who are heavily invested in it feel threatened when we say it has serious problems. It's a special kind of tyranny.

We home/online school, people treat us like we're crazy. My kids are getting a way better education than I or my wife did. Once you are ejected from the Matrix only then can you grasp what a prison it is.
As someone who's tried to develop stuff for IRC before, thank you for this. People act like IRC is dead, but it's very much alive in 2017 and severely neglected on the tooling and documentation side.
Yeah I guess I could have said "Google Local"

I meant "Google Maps" as in the infrastructure to display local business results when you search for "Family Dentist in Boca Raton" in Search or Maps.

IIRC daily newspapers have historically gotten >60% of revenue from advertising. Local Newspaper = Local Advertising.

A big slice of local business advertising budget that previously went to Newspapers is now going into all the things that ensure a business shows up well in Local/Maps searches.
Definitely true. And I have to disclose that my familiarity with homeschool kids is biased: They are all drawn from a particular demographic (educated parents) and from a particular activity (classical music), because my kids happen to participate in that activity as well.
"Sharp retreat: European oil stocks react"

I wish financial reporters would stop using blatant hyperbole. The graph shows a -0.21% drop. That's nothing. The intraday noise is half that amount. 5% might be a "sharp drop," 10% definitely would be, but 0.2%, is not even a blip. A more realistic report would be "European stocks practically ignore Norwegian fund's announcement to leave oil" but that would not support their message that Norway is doing this as a statement about climate change. (In fact, as reported, their statement said nothing about the reasons for diversification, so the report's twisting that into a polemic about how everyone is abandoning oil is unjustified.)
I agree with your logic, much like a lot of private wealth managers being 'VPs'.

But still, there are actually 'Associates' there :)

The more I learn JS the more I am worried that I am not using 'this' right.

I swap back and forth between javascript/python and with JS it always feels like I am one step away from disaster if I accidentally forget to bind this.
The trick is not to give in to peer pressure.
> I see no issue with the education system. You can learn anything you want on demand, for what is basically no cost whatsoever (other than your time and minor incidentals), with virtually no barrier to entry.

are you referring to the internet as "the education system"?
Yeah, I'd say it depend on if you're a normal user or Edward Snowden. Do you have really sensitive data that could cost you your life? Then you have to worry about these edge cases. Are you a normal guy who wants to browse for porn safely, then this is already pretty good privacy.
Your entire argument depends on something that does not really exist, a ‘trusted centralized system.’ Maybe you can trust a system you or your colleagues design and maintain, but any 3rd party centralized system can be manipulated.

In its current state, a smart contract sacrifices speed and cost but eliminates the need for trust. You may not value that as much as others, but it certainly doesn’t make blockchain ‘worse.’

And yes, I think the fact that all your comments disparage blockchain shows you may have simply already made up your mind.

WRT the OP, the question was ‘is this possible?’ I have shown that is technically possible to finance a home purchase via crypto tokens, assuming one can find interested investors. Whether the solution is of value to you personally is totally irrelevant.
Hmm, your comment is actually kind of funny because the cool looking Ruta N building he mentions, in which the conference has held, is located right in the center of a slum, where it was intentionally built (like most big public works in Medellin) to actually make the city more inclusive by mixing people from different backgrounds in these spaces. It's a bit disturbing that you speak with such property when you have no notion of what you are taking about. I'd be very careful before extrapolating.

It's my opinion that it is interpreted that way all over Silicon Valley as well as in the US legal system. Ok shrug, it's an opinion that appears to be relevant to the topic.
> perhaps this guy did indeed do it (personally, I don't care)

You might want to elaborate on this - it sounds like you don't care even if you think someone is a rapist, but I hope that's not your position? That's a really low bar.
> Who would have paid for it?

The disaster could have been prevented by the simple expedient of elevating the backup generators, or putting them in flood-resistant bunkers. Cheap.
> but really it is a learning issue and you get passed it.

No wonder, all this time I've been thinking that with enough practice I'll finally grok monads, but no, one simply has to wait for the pass to be on target.

I'm only half-excited about this because I worry Microsoft has no intention to do either one of these:

1) Support anything other than Edge/its own apps

2) Allow the feature to be accessed by users of all Windows editions

I understand for now it's still experimental and whatnot, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I remember reading articles right after the disaster saying some engineers/scientists tried to warn people that the design had some critical safety flaws..

Silly. If you did fully shutdown, you're now much more vulnerable to an evil maid attack, which that same advisory could employ.

The Gambit he's claiming is straightforward. Given type X, calling object of type X, a's method a.doit() is just sugar on the fundamental doit(a). The way you get the former is to introduce JS concept of _this_ which is accidental complexity that doesn't pull its weight. I tend to agree.
Surely this is wishful thinking. Can we build enough public outrage to make a difference?
I was going to say something, but then I realized this already conformed to my world views

It is surprising that the Shadow Broker leaks are seemingly being so effective at the NSA questioning itself.

There is so much cognitive dissonance about the NSA's acumen. People view software engineers hired at Google and Facebook with so much regard, and the schools they come from with so much regard, while simultaneously putting the theoretical NSA engineers above even those guys without realizing the NSA hires from state schools in the Maryland, DC, VA area.

My main point here is that software engineering programs aren't better or worse at Ivy League vs Tier 3 universities, and isn't much of an indication of the prowess of the engineer.

The NSA's unlimited budget, loss leading tasks of finding exploits, and immunity to execute these exploits is the only thing that sets it apart.
It's a compelling idea, for sure, but it tends to delay a bunch of bigger costs. It _feels_ super productive to use "the right tool for the job", but at scale this ends up being really expensive. You end up with an organization that grows using different toolsets, libraries, build/CI systems, training/onboarding, test harnesses, developer mobility, etc. As things grow, inconsistency and inability to share become extremely difficult problems.
This is what happens when you force the military to outsource core functions to fleece taxpayer money for your buddies.

For a long time, there's been a push to not let the military develop capabilities in-house, despite repeated contractor fuckups and huge overspends.

Can we just admit privatization is a failure?

It's literally destroying national security.
I believe that legal barriers restricting qualified people's working rights are the next big thing ought to be abolished after slavery has been. Hopefully in future every person that actually can and wants to do a job will be legally allowed to apply, no matter what.
Exactly how I aced high school. And got into MIT.
Much less useful to me in college. Even less useful now. I must have 100 programming books in Google drive.

The only way to learn something (and certainly programming) at a high level is to force yourself to write down a well- defined, closed-end problem, and then sit down and solve the motherf_____r. You learn what you need to learn, build, and invent along the way, and that survives longer than the original problem.
I think that "The closest you can get to Qubes on Windows" is what https://www.hysolate.com/ are building
99% of the time I don't anymore. I used to read a lot, now I just pull information from the net, I have feeds of information exposing me to new ideas. Most technical frameworks have a ton of information readily available. The only books I go to are Math and Algorithm books I have on my bookshelf when I know something obscure I want is in them.

Learning falls into two categories for me

- Things you don't know you don't know
- Thing you know you don't know

I also learn things well when I do active experimentation.

First one is the trickiest as you need ways to be exposed to something you don't know and being able to recognize its importance amoungst the flood of things you are exposed to. Things like HN are helpful.

Second one I keep notes on things I know I don't know. These often are things that I kind of have a fuzzy idea of what it does, but haven't really spent time on understanding exactly what it is. For instance, webpack is on my list, I use it a lot, I modify configs and get stuff done. I have a fuzzy idea of how works. But I haven't spent any time understanding it from the ground up and don't know how to set something up from scratch. But at some point webpack will bubble to the top of my things where I have knowledge gaps. So when I work on my chosen knowledge gap, I read a bunch of things, conduct a bunch of experiements, look on stackoverflow and look to answer questions, see how other people have solved existing problems.
