Wet dream or not, my marginal billable hour is in the triple digits, as is my wife's. In my household, recycling is hugely expensive. There is no way it's cheaper for me to sort my garbage into piles of garbage, so that someone might be able to turn it into something usable. It's a huge tax on the populations where it's legally required, and worse, is no municipality even benefits from this tax.

A simpler reason is, that no one of NN opponents have any good arguments to present. And shills' arguments are easily debunked. That's why shills don't like public debates and avoid answering direct questions.
Huh. I have never seen anyone use "emotional labor" to mean what you say it means. I agree that it's a lot more complicated than what you say it means.

Shouldn’t be very expensive. I run a chain of independent repair shops — most iPhone batteries are $49-$59 to replace and take about 20 minutes. Apple Store charges $79 for most iPhones.
but but but I thought you said nodes didn't matter? I thought you said miners make all of the decisions, which 97% were signalling 2x at one point, so couldn't they just adopt whatever consensus rules they want?

Or, perhaps, you don't actually know how bitcoin works, and therefore you can't explain how miner 'support' disappeared, as soon as it came time to decide whether they wanted to be bitcoin miners, or become alt-coin miners? You know, given that the nodes police and enforce consensus in bitcoin 'n all. Miners had a choice. Do what you're told, and mine according to node consensus rules, or don't get paid in bitcoin. So they did what they were told.

And here you are, with you still trying to fight a battle you've already lost. Four times. Losing exactly the same way every time. Because even after all of those losses, you still can't figure out why you always lose. Because even after all of those failures, you still don't understand why you lost, because you still don't understand how bitcoin works.
Glad someone mentioned this, it was the first thing that came to mind.
...sigh...

They corrected a known design flaw in the temperature recorder. This isn't freaking tweaking, it's properly accounting for external variables. The fact that you bring this up shows once again that depth of knowledge and experience in one field does not automatically translate to another field. I'm going to break it down in a way I'm pretty sure you'll understand. Back when the browser wars were going on web pages would have to "tweak" their code so that a page would display properly. Just because someone had to write a bit of code because because of a flaw in the browser didn't mean that the data from the website was a lie.

The thing with the seal level rise? Is this that old Morner chestnut that's been thoroughly debunked numerous times and has been around since the early aughts? The guy was found himself to be falsifying data but every few years someone trots this out as new and it's just not. I mean it's a pretty straightforward well known phenomenon that adding more water to a body of water will make it rise and since we are losing land ice we're adding more water to the ocean. You can easily replicate this by putting an ice cube in a glass of water.

There's mountains of proof of human caused global warming and really it's basic science, but none of that matters because if you choose not to believe the proof there is nothing anyone can say to you to make you believe otherwise. No one can make you stop believing hucksters and conspiracy theorists. You can dissent all you want, but it doesn't make you right.

This used to be true, but today these are all in fact the same hg repo (www as a possible exception, I'm unsure). The "sparse checkout" machinery disguises it, but for engineers working cross platform (e.g. React Native) it's routine to make commits that span platforms.

The lazy me thinks maybe 1 kitchen sink repo is better.

Here's my problem:

I can be working on multiple projects at the same time. Each project has multiple modules (core, api, www, admin, android, etc -- I use microservices on Google App Engine). Sometimes, some modules have "feature" branches. Oh, did I tell you I work on both Desktop and Laptop?

The problem is syncing. Before traveling, I need to make sure the projects/modules I'll be working on the go all have latest commit from Desktop.

My question:

Is there some "dashboard/overview" for all Git projects? So I can quickly tell, "Ok, all projects are at latest commit, and oh I'm working on feature branch for project X and Y."
So, how long does the commit with the checks take take?
I would go back to the market, pay the man extra and ask him to help trace where it came from, as there could be more where it came from
The speed of light has the dimension distance/time. Distance is a relative measure of space (length, height, depth), time is a measure of... time. When we talk about relativity, the distinction between space and time isn't very useful, so those are actually the same kind of measure. So distance/time is the same thing as distance/distance or time/time or 1.

I suspect this is precisely the half truths and cargo cutting you're referring to. Maybe you could explain what the problem here is.
Nobody forced china to take America’s trash. They simply undercut other recyclers, making them economically unviable. The same thing happened with rare earths, china didn’t mind to pollute their land to process them, again making cleaner but more expensive means of production economically unviable. This is really the crux of china’s environmental problems: if your competitors cheat by cutting corners in environmental protection while you don’t, you simply don’t exist after awhile. Unhindered capitalism.

Until China starts be more aggressive in cleaning up their environment or the USA decides to sanction against polluting industries, nothing will change.
Blaze/bazel solves this. All build targets (buildable units) explicitly define their direct dependencies. If you modify something, you can then run all tests for all units that transitively depend on your change.

For surface level changes this is often quite small. For changes to core libraries, well, you run a lot of tests.
FWIW, I strongly encourage people to informally volunteer in disaster areas, it is an exceedingly rewarding and effective action you can take in your own and surrounding communities, and they always need the help. You can do a lot of good with a small investment in time and effort. There is no glory in it but you can make a real difference.

My first experience was as a trapped disaster victim, who volunteered because I literally had no way out so I opted to make the best of a terrible situation to the extent of my abilities. But it was such a positive experience that I've since volunteered to go into places I had no need to go. It is a very high leverage and much of the best disaster response comes from ordinary people, don't wait for the government to do something.
Proton decay is not a feature of the standard model, it comes from other theories with far less experimental evidence behind them; by no means at this point can we say that protons "have" a half-life.
Great comment which I almost entirely agree with. I'd like to point that there have been earlier "environmental disasters" (depending on your definition of a disaster). It has been credibly argued that the use of "desert kites" many thousands of years ago led to the extinction of several species at the hands of humans.

I've had the pleasure (joking here) of living in some very poor countries, and people there waste little. Why waste a perfectly good glass or plastic bottle by throwing it away, instead of refilling?

Generally, when the cost of a bottle or bag is statistically significant, people care for them. Stores sell more bulk stuff, refill bottles, and offer little in the way of their own packaging. It's all a lot less convenient.

In the US, various bulk stores have tried to introduce the packaging reuse notion, but all have gone out of business because we take convenience over reuse.

This will only change when reuse is equally convenient. If I knew how to accomplish that, I wouldn't be pontificating here, but running my own business doing just that.
It can't be that simple...
I believe there is a reason why it's rarely done by engineers, and that is because most management types view engineers as easily replaceable. Asking for a raise can put a target on your back when things get tight.

Hack Reactor Facebook Scholar looking for help to live in SF
Hello hackers,

I am a CS graduate and I've been accepted into the Hack reactor program and given a scholarship by Facebook. I currently don't know anyone nor have a place to live in San Francisco. I"m looking for anyone who will benevolent to enable me live under their roof in San Francisco. I'm really excited to learn JS during this program but may not be able to attend since I don't have a home to live in San Francisco. Anyone could message me directly or respond to this thread. I"ll be willing to cover up by working for a startup.

Regards,
This is one part of a _very_ big answer, but Bazel (internally Blaze) lets you do reverse dependency querying [0] with the query language, i.e. "Bazel, give me the list of targets that depend on this target that I've just modified"

$ bazel query 'rdeps(//foo/my:target, //...)'

Of course, this query in the monorepo will take a long time or not work, because the target universe of "//..." is far too large. This is where other systems come in.

this is a poe, right? one of the primary tenets of postmodernism is that nothing can be objectively true or false. while I suspect there may exist certain less-than-serious programming languages which support this and other postmodern features, I don't think that postmodernism has anything useful to add to the field of computer science.

Recycling, save for very specific things, is neither environmentally beneficial nor economically viable.

To me that has always seemed like a problem to be solved, rather than just tossing it all. Sure, that's the way it is today, but is it the way it has to be? If metals are so eminently recyclable, why can't other materials be?

I also have a sneaking suspicion that raw materials & landfills are just as subsidized if not more, making it difficult to rely on cost effectiveness as the ultimate arbiter of environmental friendliness or total social cost.

You have a good point, but analogies are not proof. A dog simply does not have the capacity for analysis or decomposition, which is how we understand anything complex -- we just keep breaking it down until we understand the constituent parts. Then we understand the interactions between those parts. I think that's enough to "understand" pretty much anything. Unless of course you can think of a mental faculty that you think we're missing.
Rollback in some cases happen automatically, even.

Hi, Doctor here.

Go to a doctor immediately.
There is no way that old blood mixed with stool is from a stomach ulcer. In fact, that’s not how it works anyway (upper gastrointestinal bleeds are modified by stomach acid and enzymes and have a characteristic effect on stool that we call Malena).
You may have one of many different things, the most serious of which is, as you fear, a cancer, but the differentials run through benign polyps and vascular malformations.

I understand that you live in a country where you have to make practical choices about your engagement with healthcare VS putting food on the table but if you play your game slightly further out (ie add in the future value of the rest of your life VS the opportunity cost of a colonoscopy soon) it doesn’t make sense. You have a pressing and urgent need to attend to a doctor for referral for colonoscopy
That's very cool, yes!

Even Marxists want playboys to buy Lamborghinis, because then the rich have less money. The real answer to what you're calling for would be to match capital gains with income taxes, although I'm sure that would have its own raft of unexpected effects. (For example, what would happen to middle-class retirement plans?)

Also: emissions taxes are sometimes regressive, for example consider that home prices usually go up with shorter commutes.

Since the most universal benefit of having money is getting the first pick of all the options, you'll quickly find that "those rich people" are incredibly hard to pin down with tax plans. Whatever you make the worst asset class will quickly end up in the hands of whoever can't afford better.
I can graduate with an MS by the end of the next semester (May 2018).
I like the Linux DRM atomic interface, they recently added native fences so you can pass in a synchronization object from the GPU for when it's done rendering and the flip can proceed and you get back a fence that is signalled once the flip is done. Basically all asynchronous now but it's still synced to the hardware flip, no timer bullshit.

IIRC it's somewhat inspired by Android SurfaceFlinger.
Could you please elaborate? I've only used svn and git, and the largest codebases I've worked on have only been about 150k lines of code.

Alright, maybe you're right about that.

But, what about the rest of it? Do you agree that people breed themselves to the natural edge of starvation? Would it be better to give them the means to have even more kids, perpetuating the cycle, or let them be?
I think that's an effect, not a cause. It's annoying to open source google3 code because it means untangling dependencies. Meanwhile Android has lots of SOC-specific and other development happening behind the wall. So the open source question seems orthogonal.

Google today has separate repos (android, chrome, chromeos, google3), each with its own build system: Gradle, gyp/ninja, Portage, Blaze. There's hysterical raisins, but I wonder if Google considers it to be a good thing these projects are so different, or a wart they would prefer to fix?
Well clearly not "everyone" has since we're apparently talking about a company that hasn't.

> You trust the hashpower in the aggregate

Are you explaining your definition of a trust requirement in a trustless protocol?

> by definition bitcoin is not secure.

It is not secure if you use your understanding of how bitcoin works. Which, as we've demonstrated with the four failed fork attempts, is not rooted in reality.
Depends. Mobile tests that run on emulators are the worst. Unit tests finish relatively fast, integration tests that bring up server tend to be slow (30-40mins best case almost for these for projects im working on). The cost of this gets amortized two ways: you can run immediate unit tests manually on command line as the fastest signal. Then when you send for code review, presubmit runs. During code reviews you may choose to run them as you go. Eventually when you submit they run again.

If there has not been any changes to your commit/cl and there is an already passing submit, it will just skip and submit.

> This makes no sense whatsoever. It's up to people to make up their minds about what they want. If they can't, then maybe they don't deserve to be written programs for?

It makes perfect sense. To account for every edge or use case for a requirement you'd have to create many different interfaces/points of contact to suit every need. For example, if I want to create a dating app, the interface and underlying code for a mobile device will break consistency with the interface and underlying code of a web page. You could be consistent with a translation layer, but then the interface or code will be incomplete for that particular use case.

> Formal analysis can be used to show the absence of bugs, but never to show the correctness of the specification.

Working in a horizontally stratified organization where the programmer doesn't learn the business domain is ill advised. Often the programmer has the most context and understanding of both the business processes as they are being formalizaed into code. Additionally your understanding of the specification may be flawed or simply written incorrectly, and this can never be formally analyzed.

> Programs can exhibit “faults in construction” that would be forbidden by a modernist approach.

In other words, a program can have a bug as a feature, or something that is wonky, but tolerated.
> Carbon stays and accumulates

Stop hand waving. Trees use it, algae use it, at the very least. Carbon doesn't stick around with the persistence of mercury. Rate of emission is precisely what matters. The problem is that it outpaces the consumption. There's an opportunity to create an industry of carbon consumption that will only arise after the crisis point (depending on which countries blink first).
This is totally tangential, but... that's a mildly interesting mirror, and I'm wondering if you happen to know anything about the old SPFTP.
GE Power's bread and butter is gas turbines, and the margins there are strong. As long as natural gas stays cheap, there is usually demand for turbines. Renewables have obvious issues, which is mostly around demand and load. Like solar can't supply power in the evening. GE's problem stems from foreign competition where growth is. I'm oversimplifying here, but an example would be China pumping infrastructure into Africa. GE can't win in those markets because China can undercut and they don't have the same regulations that the US has.

> We find that treatment households increased both consumption and savings (in the form of durable good purchases and investment in their self-employment activities). In particular, we observe increases in food expenditures and food security, but not spending on temptation goods. Households invest in livestock and durable assets (notably metal roofs), and we show that these investments lead to increases in revenue from agricultural and business activities, although we find no significant effect on profits at this short time horizon. We also observe no evidence of conflict resulting from the transfers; on the contrary, we report large increases in psychological wellbeing, and an increase in female empowerment with a large spillover effect on non-recipient households in treatment villages. Thus, these findings suggest that simple cash transfers may not have the perverse effects that some policymakers feel they would have, which has led to a clear policy preference for in-kind or skills

Perhaps the reason we have such violent cities has something to do with our gun culture. It could be the ease in which we get firearms. It could be skewed due to mass shootings. It would definitely be an interesting point to look into but just saying that we have more violent cities doesn't mean our police should necessarily have a higher rate of officer involved shootings, just a higher overall number.
A friend of mine went to a repair shop to fix their battery, it was half the cost of Apples repair.

But the issues that ensues were whenever they went to speaker phone massive amounts of static seamed to be sent to the mic. If you where on the other end of the call it would be very annoying. To the point we joked about being 'Brain Hacked'

Mobile phones have vastly changed in the last few years from once you could replace a battery very easily, to today where it seams you needing $100k equipment to do it properly.

My current phone is the 6 SE which up till the last few months has been able to give me a solid 48hrs on a charge, but I've been diligent with making sure I get a full battery cycle. Coupled with no touch ID and only face ID on iphones im a little lost. The pixel doesn't seam like its for me. Maybe I will go back to Motorola, at least they have new expansion slots which remind me of my Compaq Windows CE phone with a PCIe slot.

I don't know what im going to do when it starts to crap out. I'm gonna give an official battery replacement a try before I buy something new.

But still I feel we have peaked and are tracing back down in mobile phone quality.
