In CAD, it's called parametric modeling, at least the part about being able to regenerate from the start. "feature-based" seems to be the aspect of having features attached to other features in a tree structure rather than a linear sequence of operations.

Wow, these are very similar to the 'modern' scam emails. Thanks for sharing this, I had no idea how old this scam was.
I guess you could call that spam. Proof of work has nothing to do with it though.
An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction[1] by Abdulaziz Ghuloum.

The author presents a very approachable technique for building pedagogical compilers by starting with a tiny subset of the language - a language that can accept integers and print it and incrementally grows it into Scheme. Every step yields a fully working compiler for a progressively expanding subset of Scheme. Every compiler step produces real assembly code that can be assembled and executed directly by the hardware.

I've dabbled with compilers for a while now and in my experience I found this to be among the best ways to get people excited about compilers. There is some code available from Nada Amin[2] for the curious and I'm re implementing it from scratch again[3].

> That statement is downright silly; on the whole atrocities have been essentially ideal-neutral. Some dictator uses a popular sentiment to seize power and then uses that power in horrible ways. It's as often due to racial animosity or religious fervor as it is the well-being of the poor; it just has to be something that sells well to the population at large.

This just isn't reliable. I tested in on the Amazon Echo 2nd Gen, it gave it a D grade, 45.8% low quality reviews, half a star.

The two unreliable reviews I checked were two-star reviews, they were not high quality reviews, but they weren't "fake". For example one complained that they thought it was wireless, but it requires a power cord.

I checked the product's two star reviews (6% of reviews), the reviews I saw were all legit. The were long reviews, mostly complaining about the sound quality compared to the 1st gen. For reference, the top 5-star review also says sound quality was poor, until after the third firmware update.

Amazon isn't paying for fake reviews of the Echo, and no one would pay someone to purchase a $79 product (verified purchase) and give it a two-star review.

Oh, we've been hearing the same (German pension funds are underfunded, Germany is about to collapse) things for the last 2 decades at least. Did Germany collapse? Oh no, but sure will in two years... or whatever.

Same with US. By now it should have turned to 1997 with Curt Russell being president &c, but it did not really happen.

BTW same with any stock that someone on the internet has bought or shorted. Sure it's going down... about to collapse!!! Going up... buy now!!

Why is a wheel even useful? Sounds like a solution in search of a problem. I remember the good old days when we didn't even think about needing wheels for all the made up problems we've created for ourselves.

Honestly though, just replace wheel with AI and that's exactly what most non-techie people I know think about AI. Humans probably haven't changed that much since 4000 BC.
So sorry to hear your story. As an alcoholic though (currently 1.5 bottles of wine down, and wishing I had another to hand), I find it hard to reconcile your situation. Your wife was drunk, you were not, but both lost control? Not judging, just asking.

The reason I ask is that only situation in which my alcohol abuse has triggered any kind of verbal exchange is where (unaware of my situation) my partner has been snappy about something, and due to lack of sleep (staying up late, secretly drinking), I've responded less diplomatically than I would have liked. Never abusive, never physical by either party, and only a small number of times.

Under no circumstance has either of us become physical. That's a totally different problem, and I'd encourage you to seek help for your wife (If I'm understanding correctly that she was the one that became aggressive, or both of you otherwise) It's probably also the time to consider what's best for you both in the long term.

Unrelated to that, but apropos your comment and the OP, I had a cop pull a gun on me when I was 19. I naively, but quite literally laughed it off, as I was doing my job and had no idea the risk I was in from his overreaction.

I was in college, but working a night security job. I had to check the premises set the internal alarm, then check the outside doors. Unfortunately a (really stupid) design flaw in the alarm system resulted in the occasional false silent alarm.

On this occasion, as I was checking the outside doors, a cruiser rolled up, the cop saying they'd received an alarm call.

I identified myself, invited him in (first mistake), then said I'd switch off the alarm (second mistake - why I don't know - it was a silent alarm!)

Switching off the alarm with a key switch required reaching around a door in to a closet where the alarm system was.

I turned around to discover the now less-than-friendly looking cop pointing his gun at me.

I laughed instinctively, as to my innocent mind it seemed absurd. Thankfully, that seemed to drop his guard. He was 6 feet away, and my hands were now clearly empty.

I wasn't asked to follow Simon-says "crawl towards me with your left foot over your right, and your hands straight in the in the air, or we will shoot you type instructions, and shortly after, the dispatcher ID'd me as being a registered person for the property.

Now that I think about it, I had several negative experiences with the cops in a 2 year period. (Broke into my residence in the middle of the night for no reason - I was more embarrassed that it was untidy!; gatecrashed a party because they "didn't like the music" (no neighbours, no disturbance), probably looking for underage alcohol; stopped for speeding on a bicycle!!!

I did much of this in 2017. I didn't find meditation more productive, but I was already a very mindful person.

One tip I'd give is to simply make it consistent instead of long. I stick to one breath.

I suffered from overdiscipline as well. Sometimes it's effective to just be impulsive, and you don't want your morning routine to get in the way of productive impulse.
The difference is that one can do software engineering without much "explicit" math and without resorting to gut feeling (though admittedly much is written on gut feeling too).

By "explicit" I mean that e.g. a lot of things I work on for example certainly will use principles that you could write out formally using various mathematical disciplines, but I may or may not have been aware of the underlying maths when writing it, but that does not mean I'm not approaching it in a systematic way.

In a lot of CS papers, even, the use of maths often turns out to be less formal than code, in that I often see maths used to handwave away details you can't get away with not presenting if writing it out as code.
That and consequences.

I overcame my fear of the camera and started interviewing friends of mine to try and broaden my personal network:

I'm about 40 interviews deep, and have accomplished most all that I initially set out to do in June.

2018 hopefully holds a lot more interviews, a lot more traffic, and a lot better content :)
More police are killed in traffic accidents than in violent confrontations. When you factor out traffic accidents in police deaths, being a cop is actually one of the safer jobs in North America.

All your bullshit about putting your life on the line is just psyching yourself up to shoot people. Cops don't put their life on the line. They sometimes get killed by people for no reason, but in smaller numbers than civilians get killed by people with guns for no reason. All your heroic language does is justify cops shooting innocents because they're scared.
Yes, both "do nothing" and "free market anarchy" are bad ideas.

Urban planning is a proper field of academic study with scholarly journals, university departments, doctoral programs, etc. MIT has a department awarding PHDs to people trying to tackle that problem.

So there isn't some simple bold brash bumper sticker sized solution here and thinking there is is part of the problem.
I'd be careful with quantifiable resolutions. I did some of these before. When you choose to read X amount of books and so on, you'll be likely to pick easy books, instead of a difficult book or rereading something multiple times.

Meditate 100 times is great because it turns it into a habit. But have to be careful with it otherwise.
I hate this repackaging of content that just pads with filler pretending to be an article. The mentalfloss article I mean.

BTW --- same parts --- 2GB+/sec SSD, comparable monitor, processor, graphics, battery life, Thunderbolt etc. If it is there I will (well, everyone would) obviously buy right away, but I have trouble finding it.
Thanks for the links. I've looked at Clear Containers/Hyper/Kata before, and it's absolutely looking good. It's very interesting to see your work on going into details on it, though.

I really hope this can be pushed further down to the point where it gets viable to for more use cases. Of course, we can always use something lighter than Linux, but being able to start with Linux and pare down is potentially so much easier for many types of applications.

"Based on the best available evidence from fossils and preserved footprints, a heel strike pattern appears to be the norm for our genus for several million years. The recent discovery of the 800,000 year old Happisburgh footprints records the meanderings of a group of Homo antecessor and reinforces a thoroughly modern gait pattern with a strong heel strike seen in a 3D reconstruction."

That's pretty damning.

Bitcoin: Update network descriptions to be more accurate
The lifestyle diseases are apparently not related to oils, and for 80% of the population, salt either (someone posted links earlier).

The culprit appears to be the combination of carbs and fat; there are cultures who have lived on mostly carbs which are healthy, and some who have lived on mostly fat that are; but the combination is lethal.

Also, salt is often demonized unfairly (though in your case, it might be right - sodium sensitivity is mostly genetic). Too little sodium is more dangerous than too much for most people. Keto flu is a flu-like condition often accompanied by rash that is a result of dropping carbs without increasing sodium+potassium+magnesium intake, with salt likely playing the largest part.

I am now increasing my salt intake gradually, after having essentially no salt for the last 40 years (grew up in a salty household but didn’t like the taste). It is hard but I am sleeping better, having less muscle cramps, and losing more weight than with the same diet before increasing salt. YMMV.
Yes it is possible to change your gait, even through exercise. I do wall-facing squats. It's the kind of squat that makes it impossible to cheat and use bad form, but it's quite a bit harder. The last time I did 131 total, including 40 in the last set. I'm aiming for 200 or 300.

I noticed differences in how I walk, especially on incline, decline, and walking up/down stairs. These squats teach you better balance and strengthen more muscles. My range of motion is also fuller when biking, instead of the newbie's typical "pedal pushing".

Running barefoot and dancing also affects gait, so why not type of shoes ?

Of course I can imagine one. The point is, the law is written such that any statement by the cop stating fear has to be interpreted as truth. Hence non convictions on a body armored cop, with 4 backing officers shooting 5 ak rounds in a prone crying man's unarmed back after a stupid game of Simon says.

I'd think passive data collection would be more interesting (for nefarious purposes), considering that BTLE is widely used for sensors and in particular for sensors that record very personal data like heart rate.
While I agree, i’m Not familiar with even remotely neutral sources in Arabic; on one side you have a Hamas/Fatah “Iraqi information minister”’style reporting, and on the other side you have the Israeli reporting in Arabic. Facebook, despite being more closely aligned with Israel, and having the history of a Skinner box operator, is still more likely to bring news vetted by their friends with some commentary.

Very sadly, it might actually be their best source of news.

We invented boba (full of sugar and unhealthy), and our cuisine, while delicious, can be incredibly unhealthy. We are actually struggling to confront one of Asia's largest obesity epidemics. I think the notion that we're an island "full of thin people who eat rice or noodles at almost every meal" is not only a problematic and reductionist characterization, it ignores the problems that we face (an epidemic of obesity and an aging population.)

I'm going to say this is probably state of the art among methods that learn from scratch from a corpus of text. I say "probably" because they skipped most of the usual word-similarity evaluations, only using RW.

The RW results are still lower than any results for ConceptNet Numberbatch [1] in the case where you are able to use a knowledge graph. This is still an advance -- from my point of view, these vectors are an improved input for Numberbatch -- but it continues to surprise me how the possibility of learning from a knowledge graph is not even mentioned when the big players write about these evaluations.

It also pains me that the only analogies evaluated are Mikolov et al. (2013), which is a huge huge case of Not Invented Here just because Mikolov is the first author. It is not a good evaluation [2]. It is the same 10 or so boring analogies over and over. I would much rather see BATS [3] or SemEval-2012, or even Turney's set of real SAT analogies despite their non-free status. But this would require Mikolov to admit that he did not come up with the perfect semantic evaluation off the top of his head, on his first try, without referring to any of the work already done by Turney and others.

Of course the originating network (presumably) knows the billing number, but how do you propose to enforce correct reporting across hundreds of telephone companies in hundreds of countries? Most caller ID spoofing today happens over poorly secured or fly by night VoIP networks. If the telco can send ANI of a "main office number" instead of the number of the actual originating line then so can a hacker or any entity with access to ss7. Theoretically you could block calls from numbers not served by the originating network the way many isps ignore advertised routes for ip ranges not served by a particular AS, but LNP complicates this further.

Okay first of all I've seen Rick and Morty and there is no way in the world I'd spend one millisecond I didn't have to around the people who create that show. If I ran a bar in a Western and Dan Justiharmoroiland walked in, I'd go for the shotgun. The show is occasionally funny and constantly evidence that the minds behind it are deadly toxic to everyone in their blast radius. Like Bill Hicks with a sack of crystal meth and a great big hard-on. So I'm not sure how much Dan Harmon being Dan Harmon counts as an example, is what I'm saying. That guy's going to ruin whoever he's around just by being who he is.

But this all misses the point. What we're talking about here isn't "content" bubbling up to "audiences". It's people keeping in touch with one another, and making themselves places to hang out on the Internet and arrange to hang out off it. I mean, yeah, some people are going to be assholes. That's not really a problem for technology to solve. "Don't hang out with assholes" is maybe not that hard? But this isn't, like, Buffy or X-Files forums we're talking about here. It's "hey, let's put up a thing so we can talk to each other". If anyone can just sign up to join whatever you're thinking of, then whatever you're thinking of isn't really what we're talking about here, because what we're talking about here is more than anything like long-running group chats avant la lettre, using whatever technology happens to be available. Using technology, shaping it to fit one's purpose, and not the other way around. That's the distinction toward which we're struggling here, I think.
