I must admit to feigning confusion about the definition of puns; I was keying into the original commenter's complaint that the author was trying too hard on the pun front. So I quoted examples of what I thought were exemplary wordplay (i.e. not particularly forced puns).
And even then you only get that by counting the value of your labor as part of the investment return. If you separated out your implicit hourly wage for working for your business, the rate of return on the capital itself is much lower.
It looks like this is some kind of pneumatic system, and IMHO if you're calculating strength/weight you would need to take into account the weight of the air compressor, to have a fair comparison with biological muscle. Not to mention the fact that air compressors need to have an energy source, and are quite noisy.

I have to think that most people who build Hackintoshes are already Mac customers. I'd guess a typical use case is somebody that already owns a MacBook Pro and wants a decent companion desktop which Apple doesn't really sell at this point.

It's still a violation of the EULA, but I think most violations would be substantially different from, for example, using a cracked version of Windows, in that most Hackintoshers have probably already given Apple $2000 for another computer.
What makes you sure that Bitcoin would be recession proof?
I know the common arguments for Bitcoin and it being "similar" to gold.

But recently, it feels more like Bitcoin is just another investment product, with its price being ballooned by big time investors and a concentration of 96% of existent bitcoin in the hands of just 4% of the holders.

So if a recession does hit, what would stop investors from dumping their bitcoins to hold on to the cash (cash being an even more valuable asset in times of crisis)?
They are fundamentally the same thing.

A bridge built to be twice as strong is measurably better in the sense that it is stronger, yet no better in the sense that it doesn’t achieve its purpose any better. Yet, to make it stronger will involve complicating the design (having a bridge that is twice as strong out of coincidence is just luck - not over engineering).

Comparatively, reimplementing form fields is better in the sense that the experience is more customizable. However, it is no better in the sense that it doesn’t actually help the user fill out a form any easier. Again, the over engineering adds complexity.

In both cases, the added complexity has costs which would have been best avoided altogether.
I'm somewhat sympathetic to this position, but that's an unnecessarily extreme way of stating it. "Reasonable" is a weasel word. If I study for 4 years for a job in a lucrative, degree-requiring field with very high jobs demand when I matriculate, and I go into debt to study, is that "reasonable"? What if that field encounters a sea change on the year I graduate, or the economy crashes, leaving me with bleak prospects and debt? Does that make what I did "wishful thinking"?

It seems like that argument easily ends up in the "educations that require significant debt are always useless" position, which is false. Like, sure, it's easy to make fun of literature students who end up $200k in the whole with no marketable skills and no job prospects. But they are just a small fraction of the whole picture. A higher ed degree is by far the highest-chance-of-success way for a lot of people to make it financially (whether or not it should be is a separate discussion), and a lot of positions require degrees for good reasons.
So, about the same time we'll run out of fossil fuels we're burning to mine them?

In addition to the comments about diversifying your skills and being frugal, you can start to rebalance your investment portfolio towards safer assets. This means reducing exposure to volatile stocks (tech / biotech startups, emerging markets, crypto). This strategy will likely mean you see your friends and peers getting richer than you for a period of time, maybe even years. If you can deal with that as a price to pay for more financial security, then go for it

If you really want to get aggressive you can get short exposure to risky stocks, but this is an incredibly risky strategy that rarely makes money and requires considerable expertise, research, and luck to make it work

Overall your best bet is to not try to time the market, but if you are worried about a recession and have an investment portfolio with risky assets, maybe take some of that risk of the table understanding that you may sacrifice real financial gain
They are basically inflating and deflating balloons filled with some flexible structure.

don't take debts. that way you can quickly shrink your expenses if times come by. the only acceptable debt is for investment (either financial or material) that have a guaranteed roi or a short term vesting.
If there is no driver to pay it probably doesn't make sense to put 20 or 30 kids on one bus.

Around here (a larger rural county) there are kids that ride the bus for really long periods of time, like more than an hour each way. Much of that time is picking up other kids. I mean, I fully expect penny pinching to win the day, but it would be evil not to take the lower operating costs of a self driving vehicle and give it to those kids as time.
Sure.
1. Put a bus monitor in an official looking uniform on the bus instead of a bus driver.
2. Have the bus route programmed into the bus.
3. Have each student badge/scan in to the bus, and determine which stops to make based on that.
4. Announce which student the stop is for, and have them badge/scan out.
5. Have a (opt-in) system that can alert parents if the student fails to scan in to the bus on the prescribed route.

This system could also be used for management of permission slips for students going home with friends, and help homeroom teachers determine which students came to school, but decided to skip class.
So its the limit, at scale. Build a big compressor, run a bigger machine with artificial muscle, the weight of the compressor becomes a small part of the whole.
You seemed to have selectively seized on the work "capitalist" in the OPs post. Nowhere does the post seem to be an attack on capitalism. The OP stated:

>"Having facebook, or any similar monolithic capitalist behemoth ..."

All three words together "monolithic" + "capitalist" + "behemoth" need to be taken together, it is not the same thing as the same as just saying "capitalist."

>"These services don’t control ‘the’ flow of information, they are entirely additive to what we had before."

Except they are not additive for groups that never consumed the older mediums in the first place:

I think even in software engineering, overengineering can be measurable. For example, let's say an API has an endpoint that responds on average within 10 ms, but it is only called once per hour. Spending resources to decrease that response time, if the latency can be afforded, would be overengineering (or maybe just premature optimization), but you could measure the increase in performance. Also side note, overengineering hardware is often good practice. In the examples you gave (i.e. a bridge), a 2x "factor of safety" could be considered low.
Depends on what you do. If you're starting a new project picking Theano indeed isn't a very good choice due to the reasons you've mentioned. However, if you already have a stable piece of software that does what you want it to do then migration won't add much value and you could spend this time doing something more important, like improving documentation or having dinner with your family and friends.

However it's worth pointing out that theano's API is somewhat similar to tensorflow so migrating shouldn't be too hard and should be fairly easy to test
This one took roughly a full work day. I'm a slow writer, and had to record a few new gifs and Inkscape up the camera diagrams.
The only problem I can see with this is when you have a neighborhood of kids that all go to the same school (which I think is pretty typical in most US areas), six people just isn't going to be enough. I realize six is a tradeoff, but at my bus-stop in high school, we had 12-15 kids that all caught the bus.
I think the sustainability of this approach is a tautology. The network cannot die by design, anyone can always stand up new instances.

Learning in a World Where Programming Skills Aren’t That Important
Yeah, it is a struggle for people who don't read before the class. Which is also why "nobody read it" tends to turn into "ok, so read it now" which does tend to bring up questions within about 10 minutes. But I've seen it convert a sizable number of people into readers, since it's an abnormality and takes a few classes to adjust to. Obviously YMMV though, it depends on everything, and nothing works for everyone in every situation.

Re last paragraph: I mean that I don't understand the point of spending a full lecture on exactly the same material as is in the book, unless the goal is almost exclusively to help people who don't learn well from reading, but do from listening. Which is a valid goal, but so far I've only seen an extreme minority claim this as their goal.
Using a popular Blockchain seems to me to be the best C&C system. It's distributed and authenticated. The botnet could either talk directly to the network or fallback to http and look at the hundreds of websites that allow you to read the blockchain. It would be "impossible" for the C&C to be taken over without the collaboration of the Blockchain developers and miners...

It means "spending" to send a command, but you only lose the fee.

Surviving being poor requires a lot more hustle than being rich. One of the things I like about being a comfortably well paid programmer is that I can go to work, get paid, and not care too hard about the details. The money will work out, I don't have to be constantly looking out for ways to make a few bucks or cheap deals on essentials.

When the economy is good, trying to become comfortably well paid is a reasonable plan. You can look for a job.

If things go to shit, you need to always be on the lookout for jobs -- someone needs a few hours of help per week here, a couple of days on a one-off job there, a man with a van to haul a load cross-town. You've got to piece together an income from a dozen opportunities you don't even notice casually walking down the street on your way to your 9-to-5. You're not going to find any one job that will give you much income for very long, so you've got to be looking always for new opportunities.
I drove a rental car with this "feature" recently and I hated it. I have a habit of pulling on my door handles to make sure they are locked. Every time I did it, the car unlocked itself, which rather defeated the purpose. And as far as I could tell there was no way to disable this behavior, which made it effectively impossible to verify that the car was locked as long as you had the key with you.

I have a similar thing but with profiling JS performance: if you profile a page in Chrome and then inspect the source code, it gives estimates of seconds spent per line of code. Firefox does not have this.

Being able to detect which function is the bottleneck is great, but being able to then figure out where the time is spent inside that function can be very enlightening too.
Agreed. User interfaces should include very real human impulses. We're all somewhere on the OCD scale; repeated locking and testing should be accounted for.

TRust-DNS has been coming along over the last couple of years, there've been a few discussion here about it, these ones had a lot of comments:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12332876

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13099979

TRust-DNS consists of essentially 3 components. The Server supports on-line DNSSec signing of all the current DNSSec standard algorithms, and some additional RFCs around limiting the response of those to what the client connection supports. It supports DNS over TLS as well. Recently I added support for TLSA and CAA records as well. There are definitely some more than can be supported.

The Client, which is for managing the server and performing raw connections to DNS servers for things like dynamic update, etc. It supports DNS over TLS, with three variant TLS impls for different combinations based on toolchain requirements. It also can perform DNSSec validation.

The Resolver, which is what I anticipate most people will use going into the future. This currently doesn't support DNS over TLS. I have plans to do that, but I haven't figured out the configuraton side of it yet. This also is capable of DNSSec validation. It has some neat features around DNS server selection specifically for ranking DNS servers and using the most responsive. I have some plans at some point to try and implement a caching resolver for the three major platforms, but haven't gotten there yet.

Happy to answer any questions.

Speak to a financial advisor (a fiduciary). One consideration is whether you’ll need cash in the near term (<5 years).

The other is whether you have expensive debt, like credit cards.

Dollar cost averaging might be a way to reduce risk a little bit (deciding on a regular amount / interval and sticking to that whatever happens.)

Finally, do you have an adequate safety net? (6m - 1yr of expenses in an insured account.)

You're really getting "my own peer bubble" and "the general population" mixed up.
The APPX format itself is quite a lot simpler than MSI (APPX is a .ZIP file with a manifest XML file, and typically a code signature), and most major installer project systems that can build an MSI can build an APPX already (including a plugin for the open source WiX toolset and recent versions of many of the most used commercial options).

APPX still encourages UWP apps, but the Desktop Bridge exists for Win32 Desktop applications. For Win32 Desktop applications there is still a small sandbox, but think of it along the lines of "Docker container". The container is there mostly to make install/uninstall clean and reproducible. Win32 applications are otherwise "full privilege" applications to the APIs they used before. The Desktop Bridge stuff itself is partly open source, but definitely not portable, you can download the Desktop App Converter for free on Windows 10 [directly from the Windows Store] and it will Docker-esque use mini-Windows containers to run an existing EXE/MSI install and try to capture what it installs into an APPX package.

I don't think it currently supports installing Win32 services directly, and it definitely doesn't support things like kernel drivers. The focus is mostly on desktop applications. UWP has a powerful background task model that is powerful enough to replace many uses of Win32 Windows services for desktop application needs, and the Desktop Bridge GitHub has samples of communicating between Win32 and UWP pieces.

The full Win32 Office suite has been on the Windows Store in Preview for a couple months now, and it seems pretty clear to me that if Office can be bundled entirely in APPX than most other desktop applications don't have much excuse left.

You're describing two completely different types of socialization though.

The first two are examples of a single children missing out on key childhood socialization "training" that will help them as they grow older. The third example is of leaving many children unsupervised to do as they will.

Sure, kids do need to learn to socialize in large groups, but leaving them unsupervised on a self driving bus is a recipe for disaster, and not at all the same as kids being home schooled or skipping grades.

It's enabled by default because it actually works fine in most cases, it has issues with certain workloads (databases, hadoop etc) where you'll do much better if you allocate Huge Pages (not to be confused with THP) region in advance.

Anyway, recently they added new "defer" mode for defragmentation so THP doesn't try to defragment (the main cause of the slow down) upon allocation and instead it is triggering it in background (via kswapd and kcompactd). This is now set to be the default. I think it is available in RedHat/CentOS 7.3+
