Meditation and mindfulness can be used as a direct replacement for smartphone usage to kill time, in all such situations.

Seriously, this is a very good thing to do. All those annoying meditator-commenters on the Internet are right.

I believe so, Lens Studio and Facebook AR Studio now enable a way to share and distribute AR content on a very large scale (100+million users). Developers had made plenty of AR apps and submitted to the app store, but the process has been very laborious and its hard to get people to download and view. Now you can create content and easily distribute, so its very exciting

Achieving Rust's safety in C took separation logic with the best tool probably being VCC from Microsoft. I encourage anyone that thinks the borrow checker is unnecessarily hard or alternative languages would be easy to try doing an existing Rust library or app in VCC with separation logic. Also, if applicable, ensure it passes soubd, static analysis to be free of any defects Rust's design would stop in that library that C doesnt.

Then you'll appreciate the work languages like Cyclone and then Rust save you. There's other models published and in development that might make the next one a bit easier. Yet, separation logic is the proper comparison to borrow checker and most programmers didnt try to learn it.

No. It is just a label. No different than gen-x or millenials. It is a description of people born during a paticular period. What those people did in other context, for good or ill, is beside the point: they did do something to venice that broke from previous practices.

so, i was hoping for not even having to type in async/await and make this possible:
let res = someAsyncOperation()

and whenever you want an async operation (non-blocking), thats when you do something like:

async {
let res = someAsyncOperation()
}
This seems a bit simplistic, or I'm not understanding your comment. It is trivial to prove that you have to sometimes deprioritize an individual's success in order to ensure group success.

For example, it is beneficial to tax rich individuals to ensure the community has access to a social security safety net. Technically this penalizes a rich individual's success, however it is a critical factor in the success of the group.

Worth mentioning that this model uses a simple feedforward network with a few dense layers trained over the MNIST dataset; therefore, digit recognition classification is not very accurate.
It doesn't have to be white - pink noise works the same just sounds more muffled/bassy. It's more that there is no distinct pattern in the time domain for the ear to pick out, which would add echoes or metallic ringing. The same as a boxy room or shower cubicle will ring/resonate at certain frequencies, but a bigger more complex shaped room will have an effectively random pattern of reflections for a given source and listener position.
Just a guess: You were alive when progress marched on before your eyes. Animations are "new" to you, and like many people you have some sort of implicit association somewhere in the back of your mind that "new == better"

Do you ever find some animations to be lower quality than others? E.g. a pop up with a progress bar being lower quality than a spinning wheel? That might be another sign.
This is a 90-page book in the form of slides. It supposedly takes you from not understanding virtual memory up to understanding the details of modern side-channel attacks like Meltdown and Spectre.

The existence of true unconsciousness is clouded by a seemingly-impenetrable self-reporting problem:

From the perspective of recall, unconsciousness is indistinguishable from a gap in memory.

There is no way for a person to determine whether they were truly unconscious or just conscious at a sub-memory level.

(This is why I personally doubt the existence of true unconsciousness. I think it’s entirely possible that consciousness is uninterruptible, at least during the lifetime of a conscious organism.)

This raises an interesting question of whether Rust would make sense as a code generation target for other languages or runtimes. It is conceivable that you could compile and run untrusted Rust (with no unsafe blocks and restricted imports) the same way web browsers run untrusted JavaScript? It could be the only GC-less IR that you can run with a reasonable defense against memory corruption.

Looks like people have had this idea before: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/safe-rust-sandboxing-untru...

On the other hand, maybe this role is better served by WebAssembly.
Definitely not alone. I'm basically doing the same thing although none of my side projects are anywhere near as prpfitable.

Pick any given field these days and you'll immediately be competing with millions of other talented people. Some of them have been doing it since they were children.

There aren't many careers that you can change into and succeed. It's very rare nowadays and it's getter rarer because capital is becoming increasingly concentrated and knowledge is becoming increasingly specialised. The playing field is global now. Even if you want to do something as mundane as open a local retail outlet, now you have to compete with giants like Amazon who use profits from their monopolies in other industries to bleed you dry.

The most important financial decision you can make in life is having the right parents. Second is marrying the right person.

What you call cynicism is actually realism. You're the optimist. The fact that you have this world view suggests that either you were born into a well-off family or you got very lucky at some point in your life.

In the same way that one wrong move can kill you in a second, it only takes a single stroke of luck to set you on a lifelong winning streak... Unfortunately, bad luck is the norm for most people.

While it's true that the harder you work, the luckier you get, when your luck starts in the negatives, it can take a lifetime just to bring it to 0.

Nah, I didn't think you were curt. This was my solution for a while. Problem is when I read I hate to stop mid sentence or paragraph. While if on FB, or HN I can close without a care. I may need to take up less serious reading material I guess, hah. I will probably go back to this, though.

I don't think the hourly base of being paid doesn't work for programming anyway. There are hours when I get done a lot and on other times I just sit for hours on something and do things, but accomplish nothing. What matters is the result.
So if they are happy with your results, even though you are only giving 60%, I think it is OK.

But quit as soon as possible and do something you really want! You only have limited lifetime, don't throw it away ... (even if you get money for it)
> Strongly advise anyone from running this on any system.

Oh come on. Your para 2-4 are serious conceptual defects with xnu_override in general, but this is the kind of hacker shit you'd expect to find in something that will live patch your kernel code. At the point in time you find yourself turning off SIP to load some code to hot patch your kernel, you've long since crossed the Rubicon of caring about running particularly good code.

The odds are good that the functions this thing is set up patch do hold with your first two invariants (RAX is scratch, there's 12 bytes in the entry BB). The third is the race, and you'll probably win this race most of the time.

"You'll probably win this race most of the time" shouldn't be in any serious engineering design document and is probably grounds for demotion or firing if you bring it up as a defense during a design or code review, but that isn't what's going on here. This is some hacker shit posted to github.
> Rust is a new systems programming language that promises to overcome the seemingly fundamental tradeoff between high-level safety guarantees and low-level control over resource management.

Rust is Sudoku for super-smarties.

I'm going to "double-down" on that: Rust-lang is a toy, a beautiful bauble for minds addicted to a certain kind of complexity. Rust isn't about producing production code, Rust is about producing Rust. Scratching that itch.

My point is that I feel like the time and energy spent on Rust won't ever be justified in terms of productive bug-free software, when compared against some other simpler language (Hopgood's Noether comes to mind) or approach.

Some contracts even give ownership of what you create on your free time to the company.
Based on my experience with other people, both in and out of traffic, that is the most plausible interpretation.
If the current technology services are like cigarettes, then the solution is to solve the disease and addiction problems, so people can smoke in a safe way. That's kind of what vaporizer technology is attempting.

Facebook and Google are built on old technology, and it's technology that we now know to have fundamental flaws.

The answer to out-dated bad technology is next-generation good technology. Technology is supposed to work for us, and to the extent it doesn't, that's a bug to be resolved.

No amount of warnings or education is going to solve the problem. No panicked response is necessary. If you want to fix the problem, just create, fund, and promote the new and improved technology.

So this 'Arc' protein has been in our genomes for quite some time. One of the two papers published simultaneously last month demonstrated their results on development and cognition in flies. [2,3]

The protein is the one that acts like the 'patches' on a soccer ball, where the inside is 'sticky' to RNA. And you can assemble a viral-like capsid [1] around that RNA, and seemingly transfer that RNA to another cell. A single RNA can produce a number of proteins over an extended period of time, while the transfer of proteins (for instance, in a lipid vesicle) is a much faster action, but much less long lasting or impactful (in terms of number of proteins in a location over time).

One very curious idea is that this is part of an as-yet undescribed mechanism for the delivery of nucleic acids into human cells. This process (of delivery) is also the missing piece to making most gene therapies useful. And in those terms, this particular discovery might be about as useful in our long-term bio-capabilities as the discovery of CRISPR's capabilities. The one really distinguishing feature is that this 'virus-like' protein is, literally, already humanized. Your immune system won't attack it - which is one of the primary concerns with using existing retroviruses or lentiviruses in a therapeutic setting.

If you want to play with the human Arc sequence and build your own delivery mechanisms, go for it:

This is also yet another way in which particular organisms have 'captured', and even completely subsumed other organisms for particular effect (see mitochondria). There are likely many more buried in our historical genomic archive.

I have feedback on the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Cloud Image that I am hoping reaches the right ears.

There is something about the way the disk is partitioned that makes the use of virt-resize no longer work (as it does for 16.04).

Specifically, I am referring to: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/20180124/bionic-serve...

The boot partion looks to be sda14 or sda15. But judging from the output of virt-resize, it appears that although these are sda14/15, they appear in front of sda1. (When virt-resize is run on sda1, sda14 becomes sda1, sda15 becomes sda2, and sda1 is now the resized sda3, and grub is confused.

I am hoping this can be addressed before April, as I would prefer not to maintain my own LTS image (that doesn't have this issue).
I mean, it's illegal and you're lying to your employer.. so in the end it's about your morale sense.. it doesn't matter much what other people do or think of it.

A somewhat stupid analogy is like saying "I'm killing people in my spare time. I get that it's wrong, but that hasn't stopped me from doing it. Am I the only one that does this?" If you find other people doing it won't make it more legal ;-)
I think that's how a lot of developer-built businesses start.
maximum traffic flow only matters during times of congestion. Off-peak, congestion isn't a factor.
I agree, however I could absolutely see it getting away from us.

If Thunderbolt gives even a slight advantage over USB-C, vendors will want to use it over USB-C. And the layperson will want it as well, which leads to "creep" making the most insecure but fastest method the "main".

There would need to be a way to dissuade vendors from using Thunderbolt for everything... And sadly a warning message isn't enough.

I think ^^ this is the most important consideration. Whether you're being fair to a non-real corporate entity is immaterial to the larger question of whether you're self-satisfied.

Be part of a team, if that works for you. But if the folks responsible for your team aren't smart enough or aware enough to notice that you're on your own team... well, that's an indication that they shouldn't be in charge in the first case.
See, "we're not Google" should actually mean that you care about performance more. Google can throw millions of dollars worth of infrastructure into making an app go marginally faster. Whereas, all you have is brainpower before you deploy or ship. And it doesn't take that much more brainpower to get big increases in client performance when you're starting from not-optimized-at-all. The marginal payoff is larger and the marginal costs are much smaller.
What the answer doesn't explain about Socrates is that his daemon, according to his own telling, was constantly monitoring since childhood what he said and did, and would often warn him against saying and doing certain things.

It's human nature to strive for something greater than ourselves. Look at all the ancient hero myths throughout history. They have very similar themes: an "ordinary" person is called to do something "extraordinary", at first they are hesitant, they struggle, they face suffering and set backs, but eventually they "slay the dragon" and come back to the village with gold. It's inspiring to strive for something better.
>could they fuel their plant with their own product and still have net energy gain?

Of course not, that would be the perpetuum mobile :) nor they claim that it can. Thing is, energy in form of liquid fuel is whole lot more expensive than in form of say, intermittent electricity from solar panels (which are now dirt cheap).
More than anything, I find interesting the impact this probably did have on the failure of democracy in Portugal back then.

I agree with you here and think Microsoft Office does not make us les productive, for the reason you give. It would be nice if the OP actually did some measurements to test his idea or at least the extent to which it is a factor. Maybe he linked to it and I missed it.

At the same time, this could be an opportunity. Maybe there is some way tools and workflow could be designed to better allow experts to help. For example, the manager is driving power point and the presentation expert is virtually over his shoulder, waiting to help out where needed. And I am thinking of having a real person as the helper, along with any software assistance built into the program.
