Processing milk is a digestive change, and one that mammals are all able to do at some point. It’s not a very far leap. Processing water with the sea’s salinity would require changes to how our cells are constructed, or at least would require massive changes to our kidneys. There’s simply no (or not enough) selection advantage for it to have happened.
What a source!

If you reason that survivalists have caused some many death because Lanza was survivalist, then lets continue with your thought process:

- Lanza was white - hence to date white people have caused more deaths than their preparations have saved.
- Lanza was male - hence to date men have caused more deaths than their preparations have saved.
- Lanza was a minor - hence to date minors have caused more deaths than their preparations have saved.

Thanks for everything you've done since, and everything he was proud of you for before. Aaron Swartz was a rolemodel for me when I was really starting to understand the internet and the value it provided beyond chatting with friends and playing games.

When I heard what happened I was angry more than anything, and it reminded me to not take progress for granted.

I hesitate to bring this up because it'll probably sound more like criticism than a heads up, and I definitely mean it just as a heads up:

It was very jarring to get to the end of the post and have it followed up by "You should follow me on Twitter." I checked another post and it looks like it's just the footer on the blog, but without that knowledge it jumps out at you.
Yeah, but then you have to use Dart.
Doesn't take too big of a stretch to see the connection.

No net neutrality: Big companies will be able to afford paying to ISPs to get into "fast lanes", smaller companies will not.

SOPA: Big companies will be able to afford scanning user generated content for piracy, smaller companies will not.

End result is pretty much the same.
Is it going to have any consequences for the governor? Otherwise taking responsibility is just cheap points.
I agree with your points. However, I was addressing your statement about the "protestant puritan spirit" which comes across as "Protestant Puritan [Christians] are at fault". This is reaffirmed by the followup statement "certain traits are common across certain cultures (protestant cultures..."

So if the culture was actually protestant christian, then they would follow the teaching in the bible that defines them. The fact they didn't leaves me to believe that the culture isn't actually protestant, so labeling it as such is incorrect.

The number of prisoners (per-population) has grown in the US as the number of protestant christians as declined.
How do you define memory?

If you mean, "knowledge of the past" then even the simple neural nets of today exhibit memory when they can recognize your face.

So where does this face recognizing neural net store information about eyes, ears, noses, etc? That information is part of the neural net but it's distributed across all the neurons.

This type of memory system is much closer to how memory in the real brain works.
Yes, you've missed something.

If the lady had not been a prepper then she would not have brought a whole bunch of guns into a house with a kid that was clearly having problems. And instead of preparing for the problems that she never had she might have spent more time on the problems that she - and he - clearly did have.

Being white, male or a minor has nothing to do with it.

If a big company believes that buying you could lead to them owning the panic button space, it could be worth a lot. Otherwise, it's probably close to $0.

Your biggest danger is spending a lot of time chasing deals and ultimately selling for close to $0 and having to work for the acquirer for a year or more. In that case, it'd be far better to pull the plug now (which you can do by all quitting) and move on to the next project.

MacOS has also not only bunch of preferred locations, where to find applications (except for /Applications and ~/Applications also /System/Library/CoreServices, for example), but also allows the user to place the apps anywhere. As other mentioned, users will place them on desktop, in downloads folder, etc.

On top of that, getting info about the application involves parsing .plist files, followed by parsing localization.
RIP. Glad to see at least Carmen Ortis [1] is out so she won't hurt anyone anymore with the long stretch of government arm she used as a overzealous prosecutor.

Fun fact: For a little while she wanted to run for Governor of Massachusetts (good grief!), but the past of butchered prosecution of Mr. Swartz hunted her and she changes her mind.

I'm sorry you feel attacked.

An argument by popularity would be "millions of people say that they like Britney Spears, so she is the best singer." The argument I'm making is that "millions of people say that they like Britney Spears, so it's likely that at least one of them actually likes her."

I'm a person who has no desire for children. I haven't engaged your argument because I believe my existence makes it moot.

Likewise, if I were to make an argument that nobody can feel genuinely annoyed because [insert any argument here], I don't think your first step should be to engage my argument. I'd expect you'd help me see that I'm likely misunderstanding you, because you genuinely felt annoyed.

If you can find a copy of the album recording of the Monterrey Pop Music Festival, listen to Redding's performance. He was backed by Booker T. and the MGs (who had a couple hits of their own) and it showed a man at the height of his vocal powers. Outside of Janis Joplin's performance and Jimi Hendrix's, nobody there came close. It truly was shame he was taken from us way to soon.
I'm sorry, but then nothing is a choice. This may technically be true, but it's no way to think.
Thanks man! I just bought this audiobook based on your recommendation and started listening to it tonight. It sounds good so far.

I've heard this book recommended a few times but your comment made me pull the trigger and buy it.
Here, yes, I agree that the foreach statements would be better, possibly even significantly, but in a general case the difference is usually not worth bothering with.

While ForEach-Object is like an order of magnitude slower, we're talking like 100 ms vs 10 ms to iterate through 10,000 items. (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2014/07/...) In other words, you have to have a good number of objects to make foreach meaningfully faster that when you do, you often find that either a) lose time to powershell.exe allocating more system memory to store the collection, or b) the loop itself is two or three orders of magnitude slower already so it's ultimately a trivial optimization.

Also, the foreach statement waits to allocate the entire set to memory ($y in your example) while ForEach-Object begins processing as soon as the first object comes through the pipeline. If you're using the output of a command for $y that returns output with some lag, you might find that ForEach-Object actually turns out to be faster because the first objects start being processed immediately. If you're returning data over a network or dealing with particularly large objects, ForEach-Object can be better.

Finally, the foreach statement itself doesn't work with pipelines either as input or output, so it's not appropriate for a lot of scenarios.
I feel for these victims but... yeah, never hire someone that was convicted of anything and make sure that they remain criminals... that makes lot of sense. /s
Of all the trash that makes it through the bullshit screen at the NY Times, this is impressive bullshit. Highfalutin language that fails to show the potential (and very cool) relationship between cryptocoins & art & scarcity [of both]. It is true, that product-based blockchains are nigh on the horizon, it is a space ripe with innovation and potential. The possibilities to include physical products [works of art] and pair them with nonphysical tokens [Ready Made Token is what it's called in this project] is stunning and complex and rich with both benefit and controversy. For the very fact that a cryptocoin labeled anything near "art" has the possibility to stray into "utterly a shill" range, and also the distinct possibility to trade as a market commodity backed by Art itself! Imagine taking the dollar off the floating point nonstandard and tying it back to gold; impossible. However, in creating a cryptocoin/ledger that is backed by a physical product, or in this case the ambiguous notion of "Art," our society steadily makes its march of progress toward self-automated machina with full open source plumbing and machinery that will forward our progress exponentially.
According to the World Nuclear Association, there is approximately 5.7M tons of recoverable uranium globally. [0]

The Minerals Council of Australia shows that the current worldwide uranium usage is increasing by about 4.8% p.a., projected to hit 97,900 tons in 2020. [1]

This will give us a little over 60 years until almost all of the economical sources of uranium are consumed, assuming conventional reactors.

Considering that timeframe along with the fact that plants take 7-15 years to bring online if they're started now, and the fact that they have dismal returns on investment, means there's little appetite for nuclear for economic reasons.

It doesn't even matter if they don't hold the USD to back tether. They make it clear in their ToS that users cannot redeem their USDT for USD. There is no known case of anybody being able to cash out USDT directly from tether.to. It is only possible by exchanging on third party sites or with other users.

Tether is a money-printing scam by a company who had their bank account frozen, so instead of handling USD they came up with the wonderful scheme of USDT.

No they do not hardcode paths, they just have to use some other mechanism (for example: registry) to find each other's location. MacOS doesn't really work this way either, half the apps available use installer and have their files somewhere in /Library.

I miss people offering easy to find feed links. Recently I've been building up my blogroll again (remember those?) and for lack of a better place I stuck it on the bottom of my home page. And for each one, I have a direct link to the RSS or Atom feed.
Tether claims to be full reserve. The contention people have is that there is little to know proof that they are _actually_ full reserve. Also, there is risk in Tether that some government will seize all of their assets (there is lots of precedence for this).
Ah I see. My bad, I assumed you were talking about the first part.
Not to my understanding. They were already applying FDO to all of their performance sensitive programs. They found that after FDO, the retpolines and the other work done to mitigate meltdown and spectre had negligible impact. This is because FDO replaces indirect branches with direct branch hints, so only in uncommon cases do you even have to execute the retpoline. That's my understanding, at least.

Historically the soul was seen sitting in the heart or the diaphragm, the chest basically, as far as I know. Because the torso exhibits features looking like a face (nipples as eyes and so on) which works to scare animals, at least. Therefore, as far as there is a concept, its should be stronly tied to the torso, from a developmental perspective. Decapitation is a rather archaic practice, anyway.
On my work laptop, typing "Mouse" into the search box only lists the mouse settings about 50% of the time. Usually closing the search box and then repeating the search returns the correct result.

As to why I have to open mouse settings so often, Windows inexplicably forgets my scroll speed setting every time I plug my mouse in.
I feel like this is quite overstated as a problem, since nothing really compels you to update. Polymer is a small enough library that it's easy to contribute to and the components are so featherweight you hardly need someone to make 30 new versions.

If you're only Polymer1, the only motivation to go to Polymer2 is performance. I suspect the same thing will be the case for Polymer3.

Why do you need to update?

Flatpak in linux uses bubblewrap (namespaces, cgroups, bindmounts, seccomp, basically the same tech behind containers), and constructs /usr based on the frameworks the application requires in its manifest.

On the disk, it boils down to a single copy of each framework required. Additionally, the flatpak repository is content addressable, the constructed directory trees are hardlinks to the repository, so multiple versions or even separate frameworks will share identical files.

The thing the author seems to be confused about is that when people talk about stable coin they aren't claiming that the market can't be irrational. They are claiming that over a sufficient period of time the coin will trend towards its target. In the case of DAI today, that target is 1 DAI == 1 USD. This means that while the market may irrationally buy/sell DAI for more or less than 1 USD, over time it will trend towards 1 USD.

For the vast majority of people looking for a stable coin, this is exactly what they want. They don't care so much that on a particular exchange DAI is worth more or less than $1, they care that in a week, or a month or a year DAI will still be worth "about a dollar" and not "100x USD" or "x/100 USD". DAI has the mechanisms necessary to make it profitable to drive the price of DAI back toward 1 USD if it loses its peg and those mechanisms have been shown to generally work in the wild so far.

I have personally made a few bucks when DAI transiently slipped its peg in the past. There are people actively authoring bots that profit off of DAI losing its peg and as those bots become more efficient and gain capital, I think we'll see DAI slip its peg less and less often.

The driver ABI is not a part of the compatibility promise, it is an internal API.

However, the folks who break internal APIs also fix the users of these APIs -- if they are available to them. If they are not, tough luck, if you want to keep the driver to yourself, you get to keep all the broken pieces too.
If all speculation used a separate cache that is only committed on retirement, that should keep the side channels at bay.
Reminds me of the legend of the newly hired sales guy that managed to screw up and lose a multi million dollar deal that was supposed to be a slam dunk.

After the sale feel through the VP of sales scheduled an appointment with the sales guy. The sales guy began cleaning up his desk and boxing his things anticipating what the outcome of the meeting would be.

Upon meeting the VP the sales person profusely apologized and accepted responsibility and said he understood why he was being let go. The VP interrupted him and paused for a moment before telling him "I did not invite you here to fire you. I wanted to see how you were doing and ensure that you learned a valuable lesson. The last thing I thought about doing was letting you go after spending millions of dollars on your education and training."

Wow, trip down memory lane. My "starter" project when I joined Intel out of college was to be the Systems Validation engineer for the 80186. Unlike the 8086 it was this new fangled thing called a "system on chip" (SoC) which of course is what nearly everything is these days. And because Intel chose the peripherals to put "on chip" as it were they picked the ones they liked, and Microsoft obligingly wrote a version of MS-DOS that could use those peripherals. Critically though, they were not exactly like the set of peripherals the IBM PC used so while it was "cheaper" to put all the interface chips together with the CPU (saving power, board real estate, and time) it meant using the chip would never be "FlightSimulator" compatible (where MS Flight Sim was considered the acid test of whether or not a clone was a clone.). So much commercial software bypassed the BIOS and wrote directly to the peripherals that the 80186 never became very popular in the commercial sector. It did however have a pretty strong military presence and a lot of the customers who sent in bug reports would decline to describe their systems :-)
But what if that's only one mechanism? What if some information is stored in DNA or RNA? And what if that can be copied and stored in other cells too? What if each neuron could store even kilobits of data in it's DNA? Capacity per neuron goes up by a few orders of magnitude.
Notepad is literally a window with the standard Windows Edit control inside it, so they certainly have the source code.

My guess as to why they don't care to support \n-only is that there's been very little need to; anyone who needs more advanced editing isn't going to use Notepad anyway.

As the sibling comment mentions, WordPad (which is similar but with a RichEdit control) does support \n-only.
Officials said the alert was the result of human error and not the work of hackers or a foreign government. The mistake occurred during a shift-change drill that takes place three times a day at the emergency command post, according to Richard Rapoza, a spokesman for the agency.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/13/us/hawaii-missile.html

The facts support me, not you. I have highlighted the sentence in which the words 'mistake' and 'drill' appear since you seem unable to read it on your own.

HEre is another quote from the same article:

Vern T. Miyagi, the administrator of the agency, said that during the drill, an employee — whom he did not identify — mistakenly pushed a button on a computer screen to send out the alert, rather than one marked to test it. He said the employee answered “yes” when asked by the system if he was sure he wanted to send the message.

I see no indication of the NYT report having been discredited or the NYT making any effort to retract or correct it, and your story from a different publication in no way contradicts it - if anything, it supports my basic point about the irresponsibility of the long delay in notifying the public of the error.

I am not the one lying here.
So to clarify, does this describe the gist of your original sentiment? "She was a prepper. She prepped for nuclear war. Her son had problems. She did not prep her son for day-to-day life problems, and her son used her weapons to kill people. Therefore, being a prepper has killed people."
