I've definitely seen numerous people looking for alternatives and trying to reduce their dependence on a single platform, and they won't get all of that trust back.

That said, this could be an opportunity for them. Patreon should have some test audiences (from both types of Patreon users) for potential changes like this, to evaluate what they look like. Creating some kind of advisory council (and ensuring that it does not just include high-profile creators the way YouTube's equivalent does) would help address this.
We made a tomato sauce in a cast iron pan. Once. It was god-awful. It was like eating iron filings. You couldn't taste anything else.
Saw an article about seasoning cast-iron. I was going to find the article I refer to for my pans - turns out it was this one. +1 would recommend. I did as other people have mentioned in the thread - coat it, put it in the oven around 9pm, turn off around 10:30 (preheating to 500 takes a long time), take out in the morning, repeat for the week. Easy peasy.

> Cast iron also has an excellent use case in which you can do any searing and such on the stove, then transfer it directly to an oven to finish.

To be fair, lost of pans (not non-stick) can be used this way, it's not a unique feature of cast iron.
Same with Php, using really old versions of it. This is a waste of time article, nothing is learned from it appart the bias of the author.
It's interesting that when asked about why we use hierarchical methods in RL, ML, and cogsci, people haven't talked about the circuit complexity and information-theoretic reasons for using hierarchies. IIRC, a "deeper" circuit can represent a given function with exponentially fewer units/gates than a "shallower" circuit, and hierarchical methods also narrow down only the predictive information in the (supervised) dataset, according to information-bottleneck methods.
If there was money in solving homelessness it would already have been done. If you tried to do this you would be rapidly discouraged. Just like some products don't have positive unit economics, some people don't have positive unit economics. The big "profit" from solving homelessness would be peace of mind and a better experience walking down the street. Hard to make money from these things.
I noticed the same thing. Right now it's near the top of the second page. But at 90 upvotes in less than an hour, it appears it should be solidly on the front page.

My educated guess: lots of downvotes pushing it down, a fact (more cruel perhaps than ironic) consistent with the points Salma Hayek is making in her article.
Yeah, they could have avoided this altogether by checking with their user base but this is a good response, although radio silence for five days is a bit crazy.
I'm not sure what that data shows us. It shows us that more women get engineering degrees and fewer computer science degrees since 1980? It shows us that more women get degrees period, actually. It's also showing us a snapshot in time: women between the ages of 18-22. That doesn't really address at all the problem of "girls before 18".

Girls have only recently drawn even with boys in attendance in high school stem classes, and still lag quite a bit in computer science. And minorities do even worse [1]. Anecdotaly, my experience also bears this out. The First Robotics clubs in my area (aimed at ages 9-14) are majority boys, despite several teams (including my daughter's school) being coached by female engineers specifically hoping to encourage more girls.

I don't think it's the wrong question.

I think your firsthand experience is coloring your interpretation of my remarks here such that we are simply not on the same page.

I am currently in an SRO. It is not part of the shelter system. It is just low cost market based housing.

There is no curfew. The rooms are adequately soundproofed that I am not kept awake by other people going to the bathroom in the night. When I am in my room, I mostly don't hear what other people are doing. When I walk to the bathroom, I can hear TVs and other things all night long. But it does not keep me up at night because I can't hear this stuff when I am in my room. I only hear it when I am out in the hallway.

It has to be quiet from 10pm to 8am. Of course, there are other rules as well, but it is nothing at all like what you describe.

I never spent time in the shelter system. It absolutely has serious problems, which is why I am advocating for other approaches to the issue.

Sharing living space with strangers is always challenging. People in college dorms or who have roommates routinely complain about the problems involved or seek help on discussion boards for how to more effectively cope. But in most cases it is not the nightmarish scenario you describe.
In terms of the article, pretty graphs and good explanation at first but extremely flawed at running the actual test against these technologies. Wouldn't recommend.

But if you're going for raw I/O performance and already taking the readability and maintenance challenges with the other platforms, then he really should be using Netty, Vert.x or Akka for Java.
Your concerns have already been answered. Most succinctly stated by two points.

1) A lot of things work, it doesn't make them good ideas.

2) Go doesn't meet the strictest litmus tests of a systems language, never did, never will. It's only a systems PL only if you relax your definition of what it is. Go's own creator says it's not and if any one person is the authority on this topic it's him. There are platforms that meet all definitions, those are definitely systems PLs.

I cut the cord because my old FiOS TV service was just too damn expensive. Several months ago Layer 3 started sending me mail about their new service so I looked into it and found the same bloated bullshit expensive bundles that my old provider offered, and for about the same price. Maybe $10/month cheaper depending on what the rental fees and service fees and government fees and carrier fees and tax and so on work out to.

Needless to say their mailers have been going straight to recycle ever since.

If T-Mo can figure out this alacarte thing I might give them a second look. I'm not paying $90/month after fees for two channels that show maybe a couple of shows that I'm actually interested in. That's madness.

Hi folks! I’m an engineer at YC and the main developer of Work at a Startup.

Startups are an increasingly popular place to work in the tech industry. At the same time, the most common problem founders need help with is hiring people. Work at a Startup is a new way to help solve this pain point for both parties by connecting people interested in working at startups directly with the founders of the 1100+ active YC companies by completing a common application.

This the next iteration of the "Work at a Startup Day" idea that YC started hosting way back in 2010 [0][1][2]!

For now, Work at a Startup is targeted at software engineers who want to work at US-based companies since that’s the most common need of YC companies. We will be expanding to other roles and countries once we've validated the product for applicants and founders.

Google’s massive housing and office plan wins approval
As art director at Silver Gryphon Games, I made it a point to pay artists in full after they had completed the work, but before they'd delivered the final full-size version. That way, both sides had some protection.

That's harder to do with writing; you can't really peer at a thumbnail of a manuscript and say "yeah, that looks good, here's your payment." I'd be amenable to a 50 up front, 50 on delivery split for writers, though, if I ever got back into the game publishing business. Just seems sensible.
It is directly in competition with all of those companies you mentioned.
Frying more bacon is also a good technique. My cast-iron gets a smooth, almost glassy finish on it whenever I go through one of my heavy bacon-frying phases.

Thanks! That was actually me tinkering around with the post timestamp (it was about 6:30pm UTC when I had posted it privately to preview and I bumped it a bit when I published it). All times should be in UTC: I realised there's no good way to find the user agent's timezone, so mostly am using relative times throughout.

No. Allowing companies to continuously treat its customers poorly as they test out pricing structures to maximise profits is how gambling become common in computer games and makes up 50% of EAs profits. It shows their intent, to work out how to maximise their earnings and keep everyone grumbling but still using their service. Look for an exit if you are funded this way, this company is going to keep trying until it sticks.
I work in agriculture, so it is my industry and my place to work on. But realistically this problem does not seem exclusive to any particular industry, so I'm not sure it even makes sense for a specific industry to try and attack the problem in a way that only applies to that industry. There must be some solution that applies generally? Why not work together?
Ah yes what crypto really needed was discovering 'technical trading'

I give them leeway on the 5 days. I guess they could have said something general like "We understand the new payment policies are not what our user base has expected of us. We are formulating an in-depth response and will have it out in the next few days. We appreciate your response and patience."
>Just because you can do mostly everything that blockchain tech provides without one, doesn't mean it isn't incredibly valuable.

If you can already do everything that it provides that's pretty much the definition of not having any extra value. This is just extending the hand waving. What transactions will you be able to do with cryptocurrencies you can't already do with the modern financial system?

Twitter was filled with screenshots of people removing their $1 pledges. It wouldn’t surprise me if the rollback of the new model was motivated more by economics than PR, where the forecasted revenue under the new model (accounting for loss rate of subscribers) was lower than the forecasted revenue under the old model.
My experience is that things still mostly take two days to ship/deliver, but that they often don't get shipped for random period of time (I just ordered something, for example, that looked like a regular Prime shipping product, but the ship date won't be until the 25th, though it of course notified me of such during checkout, though it's an extreme example). (Tangentially, I only have Prime when they offer a free month and then I cancel near the end of it.)
tulip-mania never happened, is just propaganda of those times, the only thing you can associate with is dotcom, but if you look at the bigger chart the crash is just a small blip.
Which makes it ideal for induction ranges, I will say. It's also one of the reasons it's still possible to buy a secondhand cast-iron pot or pan that's 100+ years old.
I am sorry but this looks like a hype machine to cash on AI. I am looking at some of the signals:

>I think the goal should be to stop using any form of cash as a store of value

No one should use any currency as a store of value, use actual productive assets. And your argument that we should make financial products enter the Internet era is completely true. I just don't see where the cryptocurrencies help.
Jeez, War Games was my inspiration too. I saw myself as that clumsy nerd ("Remember you told me to tell you when you're acting rudely and insensitively?" I ask my wife to do that to this day :)
@stared Great game, much appreciated! I have a question about level 20. If I put a sugar glass behind the laser and then two directly at the two outputs of the PBS, it doesn't work (interference triggers the bomb). If I move the two sugar glasses after the PBS behind the two respecitive mirrors next in each path (so the paths become Laser->SG->PBS->Mirror->SG in each arm), the interference works correctly and I pass the level. I just can't wrap my head around why the phase is different in each case. It would be really helpful to be able to inspect the quanta at each point in time so you can see how each element affects phase and polarization exactly.
Oh sorry, I misread your comments.

Yes, APL is the ancestor; Arthur Whitney wrote A, a miniature APL interpreter which inspired Roger Hui’s implementation of J (designed by Ken Iverson who previously designed APL).

J optimized for purity, K for practicality.

I remember reading a commentary from Iverson that, despite J’s beauty and theoretical niceness, at least two practical choices made by K turned out to be better:

1. Doing left-to-right scan and fold; this is inconsistent with parsing, but turns out to be significantly more useful

2. K’a minimalistic currying (juxtaposition) is not as nice theoretically as J’a trains and forks, but turn out to be much more useful in practice.

However, I don’t remember where I read that and cannot find the source now.
I obviously took the original press release and breathless articles at face value when I should have been a little more careful as this article clearly shows. I hate it when that happens.
Also some very interesting-looking Iwachu pans from Japan[1], though I haven't tried one yet...

It'd have been dangerous to say even that if they didn't know they could fix the problem in a satisfactory way, or they'd get blasted even more. But yes, they should have handled this far, far better.
I still like Objective-C even if it isn't my go-to language anymore. It's quite elegant compared to it's peers from the 80's, it's a very small language yet you can achieve everything with it, even if it means dipping into C(++) for the parts that need to be really performant. But on the other hand seeing a different programming language when there's some optimization going on and having another programming language for business logic is a great thing too.

How many times don't we see bugs, errors or security issues stemming from the fact that business logic gets implemented in C?
I was going to make this point in a post, but saw that you had already done so.

Using the pan repeatedly as a griddle will result in a superbly seasoned pan that does not need much attention or cleaning.

Once in a while if the pan is used for something too gooey or saucy, or if it gets put through the dishwasher, I simply do a quick seasoning as follows, before resuming its typical use as a griddle:

1) Rinse or wash the pan, use a scouring pad or steel wool if there are any burnt bits of food stuck to the surface.

2) Wipe cooking surface of the pan with a thin layer of olive or vegetable oil. Wipe it in with a paper towel and do not leave any excess in the pan.

3) Heat the pan over a burner at medium heat, so that it gradually warms up, then becomes hot enough to produce a small bit of smoke.

4) Pour in a bit more (room temperature) oil, and once again wipe/rub this around the cooking surface of the pan.

5) Let the pan heat for another minute or two until it is once again at the smoke point, then turn off the burner.

This quick process takes about 5 minutes. It thoroughly dries the pan after washing, which prevents rust, and it gives it enough initial seasoning to bootstrap the seasoning process for subsequent uses of the pan as a griddle.
They made a mistake that indicated they had a faulty understanding of their entire value proposition. And they made a mistake that had a profound negative effect on their user base (there are almost certainly many creators who were forced to scramble to be able to make rent or pay their bills during the holidays). Sweeping that under the rug of "a mistake" is silly. They hurt people, and it didn't have to be that way. They could have announced their plans with a longer timeline (6 months or a year, perhaps) with the expectation that things might change depending on feedback. Instead they rode roughshod over their user base. For a service that is supposed to be about changing people's lives for the better they did not take those lives as seriously or treat them with the gentleness they deserved.
You are not being sarcastic right? I am finding it hard to be charitable here.
