"Glib advice aside, what is the recommendation when it comes to sleep and alcohol? It is hard not to sound puritanical, but the evidence is so strong regarding alcohol's harmful effects on sleep that to do otherwise would be doing you, and the science, a disservice. Many people enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, even an aperitif thereafter. But it takes your liver and kidneys many hours to degrade and excrete that alcohol, even if you are an individual with fast-acting enzymes for ethanol decomposition. Nightly alcohol will disrupt your sleep, and the annoying advice of abstinence is the best, and most honest, I can offer."

Walker is one of the authors of the paper discussed in the article.
I wonder how much of the liquid/volume ratio is just due to people trying to protect their white carpet...
In general, I tend to think that any tooling I can avoid writing (and documenting, and debugging, and maintaining...) is an advantage. As someone who has done the whole "running my own containers from bash scripts and cronjobs", Kubernetes (and in particular the hosted Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Cloud, Azure and AWS) does a great job of managing a lot of crap I don't want to deal with, such as:

- Networking setup and service discovery
- Managing container failure
- Secret storage
- Deployments (in particular, sensibly-managed Rolling Deployments)
- Container-cluster size management
- Ingress management (load balancers are a pain in the ass to manage from bash scripts)
- Resource monitoring (Kubernetes comes with a nice interface to watch the cluster and modify it dynamically)

There's nothing stopping you from building all of that from scratch, but why bother?
Kubernetes is not supposed to be run on a single node, but on dozens or hundreds of machines. Scheduling, networking, and authorizing heterogeneous highly available workloads by possibly different teams + managing ingress + managing networked storage is what Kubernetes is built for.

I wouldn't know how to do this with LXC
Even more so when you source the attacks, too.

There are 2 choices of language for any side project.

1) the language you know best

2) the language you most want to learn

Only you can decide on which has a higher priority.
The client would be the one customizing the appearance. You pick the client you like, or pick one which is themable as you wish.

You know, like for e-mail, or newsgroups, and so on.
yep answer is at very bottom. WPAD can be disabled via registry.
The best way for a ledger to work is to have a Universal Identifier for each component of an asset. Can't work for Gold, which can be melted down and reformed. But will work great for things like recorded land deeds. And perhaps childbirths where the SSN(in the USA) is assigned immediately.

Registering immutable assets can be very useful.
This is really cool and reminds me a bit of Mandos which does full disk encryption on headless servers using a network host.

The Readme didn't mention, can this be configured to SMS me when an encryption key is handed out?
The relatives of Jimi Hendrix have mentioned how l’il James would “spend hours playing scales”. People want to play like Jimi, but forget (or don’t know) how he went from James to Jimi. “He was talented”, thereby excusing themselves of the hard work it takes not to suck. Jimi might have been born with a little of it, but I’ll bet hard work made up the majority of his “talent”.

Point is, of the things I’m good at, none of them was something I was just born doing well at. Some things come easier than others, but none come naturally. I’ve worked hard at everything I’m good at (even if it was so much fun it didn’t seem like work) , and I just assume the next thing I try will take just as much work. So don’t get frustrated, just assume if it’s worth learning then it will take effort. Otherwise everyone would do it. :-)
Stick to Ruby, Matz will give us new Ruby this christmas, and he's the best mormon I have ever seen so that's a plus.
It would also really help if people who aren't rapey bastards would step forward and open doors for women in terms of career instead of looking the other way, worrying that if they give a woman a leg up professionally there will be talk etc. That would do a lot to reduce the power that men like Harvey Weinstein wield. When that isn't done, women wind up with no one to negotiate with other than men who expect them to pay for their career advancement on their back.

If anyone needs a little insight on the matter, I will suggest reading Salma Hayek's testimony about Harvey Weinstein:

It depends on what we mean by "slow progress". The physical implementation of a quantum computer in silicon was proposed in 1998 [0] and a two-qubit gate was recently performed on it. This is in contrast to the ion trap quantum computer, where a two-qubit gate was proposed and performed in 1995 [1].

On the other hand, superconducting quantum computers followed the same road that silicon is on right now. It took a couple of years for superconducting qubits to be robust enough to perform universal quantum computation, but it's progress has accelerated in the past couple of years. So this says nothing of how fast silicon quantum computers will progress in the future.

Khat is a good deal stupider as drug-of-choice in Yemen than alcohol would be. It's a crop that takes up tons of the scarce arable land and even more scarce water in a very poor country in which 17% of income is spent on khat.
I found that odd, too. Guess it's sort of like a tl;dr, but it felt repetitive.
Are there standard benchmarks used to measure and compare the two approaches (jvm vs .net)?

Sure, I can see why you'd make that choice (just as I know people who never would touch Disqus or FB comments).

Doesn't mean others wouldn't throw up a comment system somewhere, in the knowledge that the most important part of their site (the content) isn't affected if it doesn't keep up and they exactly do not need to invest the time and energy to "go full DevOps" for that.
Best thing I did for my sleep and my life was quit drinking alcohol and caffeine. I feel like I sleep twice as good and feel twice as better throughout the day. No exaggeration. But the social pressure to use these drugs is intense, as most of the population is addicted to some degree.

Given what I have heard of from older relatives in rural areas, this is "in the main" correct.

My aunt, quite old, remembers a time when corporal punishment (being hit with a sturdy broomstick, or rapped across the knuckles etc.) was OK in the school she attended. It was always the poorer kids that got the corporal punishment... not the better-off ones.
Relevant question: Given that most intercept courses for this purpose seemed to use planetary gravity assists, would it behoove us to park one or two intercept satellites in a high Jupiter / other multi-planet orbit, ready for tasking?

Is there even any such stable orbit? From which minor burns could easily set final, post-slingshot trajectory?
I have used buildbot for about 5 years on a cross-platform (mac, linux, windows) project. It is definitely lightweight and flexible.

Pros:
- The schedulers and pollers is very stable. You don't really have to worry about uptime.
- Good enough documentation.

Cons:
- Configuration is done in python. If you don't know python well then be prepared spend time to learn it.

The biggest pain point, at least for me, has been that buildbot has no support for caching of dependencies. If your project has many dependencies you will spend quite a bit of time either installing dependencies on the CI builders or having long build times because every build will download dependencies. This is not really a buildbot issue itself, but it will definitely bug you if you have used hosted CI products like TravisCI or Circle CI.

You make it sound like tradition or a cargo cult—it's not. Git is fundamentally better than most of the alternatives, but in my opinion it's misguided to try to slap a better interface over the warts. Rewriting the porcelain would be good, but I don't think it's personally worth investing in until someone makes an attempt that's good enough to get traction and significant mindshare. In the meantime I've already made the investment in learning git and it pretty much stays out of my way.
Came here to say this. Load up on $20 2TB SAS drives in an R510 or something like that, and you'll use a little more power, but also be beating the pants off AWS for cost/GB purposes.
Ah, I'll have to share this with my wife! We welcomed our first child in November. Since then, we've been pretty sleep deprived thanks to the nightly feedings and diaper changes. Both of us were remarking this morning how forgetful we had become, even to the point that we couldn't recall how the night had gone.
That's exactly why I started The Women in Tech Show: https://thewomenintechshow.com/

To have women in tech talking about tech topics instead of what it feels like to be a woman in tech. Although the show is labeled "women in tech", it's simply to raise awareness of this. This is a good way to help our industry.

OK, so walk us through it. What are the mechanics that transmit the money supply increase to wages and prices?

If the money supply instantly doubled by magically changing Treasury bonds and collateralized mortgages into cash, what would happen?

Cash balances would go up for banks, brokerages and wealthy investors but cash balances would stay the same for most people who don't own these securities.

Would that cause an instant doubling of wages and prices throughout the economy? Or would banks, brokerages and wealthy investors just hold on to their new, bigger balances?

This isn't really about timing, since even if the money supply instantly doubled, you'd probably see velocity instantly cut nearly in half.
I'm going to issue a coin for carrying out an undertaking of great advantage, but nobody to know what it is.
I'd love for there to be a better solution, because as you say it's the "best worst" solution in many cases.
"Really, there wasn't much different between that era and the yahoo penny stock boards of the late 90s."

I came here to say exactly this. Coins are extremely similar in nature to pink sheets. Bitcoinforums et al are the new yahoo finance forums. Full of shills and pumpers, be very VERY wary.

I was doing "research" this weekend for some long tail alts I could ride the pump on next. I couldn't help but note the number of template Diva Wordpress sites out there, all using the exact same template just with different fonts and minor style changes. All have some bullshit "whitepaper" (overused term of the year). Then I thought this can't be that hard to start my own. So, I am. Hopefully I'll pump my own coin within the next few weeks. I've noted a few criteria that I'm sure will attract some gamblers/fools.

On a side note, the eBay market for mining rigs and accessories is stunningly healthy.
I already have a static blog and like 8 non static apps on my server. If I were to add comments I'd rather host a comment server than convert my blog to something other than static files.
Yes. I'm trying to remember back to early amazon, circa the bubble burst... my vague recollection is that reviews were more in the vein of a platform for book reviews, not review of books as products... a fine difference, maybe one wothout distinction when it comes to books, but an either way an open platform for book reviews has very different trust and reliabilty requirements than reviews attached to products being sold.
You're not disagreeing with me, because we're talking about different things!

You're talking about Java, the language, I'm talking about the JVM, really HotSpot, really C2 actually, the implementation and the techniques it uses, whatever the language is, compared to the techniques that the .NET CLR uses.

The points you bring up are interesting though, because some of these complexities (which HotSpot isn't responsible for or in a position to change!) are as someone else has said, probably partly what has motivated the extra work in C2 compared to the .NET CLR JIT.

> To use generics in Java is to pay the speed penalty of an indirection for every single element on top of the extra per-object bytes of space overhead.

And this is just false - the extra indirection only applies for elements that are boxed primitives, not 'every single element'. There is no extra indirection for things that are references anyway.
How Blockchains Will Change Stockholder Democracy
See my comment in sibling thread. I am not familiar with Magit, but there's no equivalent on the CLI to Fugitive's flow for rapidly traversing history, it's really really useful, and lets me answer questions that other devs on the team just throw up their hands because a line may have traversed several different files over dozens of commits throughout its history. The reason it can't be done on the CLI is because you need multiple buffers and window management to make it viable.

All that said, I don't really use it for committing, mostly because I have a shell open right next to the editor anyway.

Plex beats Kodi in two areas for me: DVR service, which Kodi doesn't provide, and remote playback. Plex will transcode videos on demand to smaller storage sizes, and store them in its iOS and Android apps for offline viewing (and their Roku app is far superior to Kodi UPnP). When it works, it works great: like having my own version of YouTube TV/Sling TV, only without any of the DRM/non skippable ad nonsense. But it doesn't always work great.

The reason I pointed out Emby is that it has all the features Plex does that Kodi does not. Kodi has some stuff available by plugin but matching the features I require from Plex has never been possible.
Is it me, or do a lot of older people snore? Is there some sort of muscle that relaxes in the throat that as we age, causes that?

And if that's the case, is a simple CPAP part of the solution to this issue?
Fair point :)

I guess the right comparison would be how much it would cost to produce another human capable of doing the SHA-256 hash by hand rather than the "fuel" to sustain it.

If I understand the article, it's the slow waves that have the strong correlation, and those are described as being around one per second. Fifty milliseconds is then around a tenth of the half period, so that does implies a rather important timing precision needed.

i think that’s his point? there’s a huge amount of useful, but advanced functionality in the git CLI
I don't really understand your point. This is what he means:

I often write a placeholder title, write the essay, and then at the very end, spend a good chunk of time iterating on titles until there’s a good one.

It isn't uncommon for me to handle blog posts that way as well, or even paid freelance articles if no title was provided. You put in a title that suggests what you are talking about, then you write the piece, then you try to figure out what the most important detail is or the most compelling hook or the shortest way to make the essential point.

Writing good titles is quite hard and good titles often grow out of the piece after it is written. You get to the end and you have written multiple paragraphs to give a good lead up and then your final paragraph draws a conclusion in a way you didn't have in mind when you started. And therein lies clues to a good title.

I fairly often pull ideas for a title from the last paragraph or two of a blog post. And I usually don't know what that last paragraph will be until I have written the entire piece.
I think most would agree FactoryFactoryFactorys are bad. But how does one fix this? What's the alternative? Maybe a post on how to disentangle one of these?
The figure in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero#Cont... strongly suggests that all nonnegative real numbers are limit points of the function f(x,y) = x^y as (x,y) approaches (0,0). It explicitly states that 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 are all limit points.

If Donald Trump joined a site I was in charge of and broke the rules, I'd damn well police 'his speak'. A good community manager needs to be willing to slam the hammer down on anyone who breaks the rules, regardless of whether they're a pariah within the community scraping by with nothing in real life or a government figure, celebrity or billionaire.

The fact Twitter (and a lot of other companies running community/social media sites nowadays) don't seem to have the guts to do this shows how bad they are at enforcing their own 'guidelines'.

But yeah, if Trump joined a service I was in charge of and broke the rules, he'd get punished like any other user would for doing the same thing.

Just to clarify a common misconception introversion != shyness. It's a matrix of shy/not shy and extravert/introvert. Introverts prefer to spend more time solo, but certainly don't have to be shy. Not shy introverts tend to be the power players in society. And there is such a thing as a shy extravert. You all probably know one or can remember them from your earlier years. The wallflowers who go to every social gathering but don't really interact with others. As a not shy introvert, I can tell you that I enjoy and need the occasional social gathering, but too much time with others gets draining.

These are good points. I like the idea of municipal fiber in theory. In particular, I think Stockholm's model of a publicly-owned but otherwise loosely regulated dark-fiber utility is the right one as a theoretical matter. I just think many big U.S. cities lack the political discipline necessary to implement such a policy properly.

It's crazy but I'm not really aware of any good benchmarks, at least in the research community.

But you can show the differences qualitatively, in that the .NET simply doesn't have large swathes of optimisations which I think are considered pretty fundamental in the JVM such as escape analysis.
I'm glad that Mozilla has responded in this way. My disappointment remains, however.

I am one of those not affected at all by the Looking Glass extension but still, my trust is Mozilla (which has been eroding as of late) has suffered greatly.

I am giving Mozilla exactly one more chance before uninstalling FF on ever device I have. In the meantime, I will no longer volunteer for ANY data collection.

Last chance, Mozilla.

The web needs rescuing not because of technical issues, but because businesspeople and nontechnicals have twisted it far from its original intent and then captured everything that could as 'added value'. "Digital colonialism" is an incredibly apt term for this, and now with NN no longer governing traffic flow, the web needs a reboot away from those that would stick their grubby mitts in the stream.

My usage of buildbot is only very anecdotal (small hobby project). I consider it very easy to get started with. Through its use of Python it allows for a lot of flexibility, but I don't know how well that scales to very big complicated organisations. But then again, Jenkins is not easy to work with, either and you might not really need the complexity and feature-set that Jenkins provides.
I would argue that indigenous inhabits as private citizens have the better claim by virtue of tradition and generational succession, than the 'state' as defacto beneficiary and law-maker everytime. The dispossession of native peoples by colonial governments is just another example.

Government confiscation of private wealth in the name of perceived inequality, should be examined very carefully when modern economies are structurally indebted, and budget for foreign policy objectives over domestic improvement.
I'm going through this right now - all my old content is on blogspot.com, and I want to move to my current blog at mydomain.com/blog. I'm sure there's a way not to move all these article URLs by hand, but then I have to go and make sure all the inline images come through as well, which were uploaded to blogspot directly.

I mean, I was just looking for a quick solution in college so I can't blame myself, but I do want to run back to 18 year old me and kick my heels a bit for creating such a big chunk of technical debt I doubt I'll ever actually fix.
