Okay. Thanks.

Actually I have been guessing that smartphone users would somehow magnify my Web pages by a factor of two (2X) or three (3X). Using the horizontal scroll bar, they can get by with just the left 300 pixels. So, with 2X, they would be using 600 pixels on their screen; 3X, 900 pixels. Doing a Google search on smartphone screen pixels, the 900 seems fairly common.

I don't really see a way to present the
information to users with fewer than 300
pixels horizontally. My Web pages are so simple I don't see any way to make them
still more simple for smartphone screens.

The situation on tables versus DIV, JavaScript, etc. for me versus others appears to be: (1) I'm only developing one Web site and where the screen content is under my control from my design of my user interface (UI) and is especially simple. So, for my Web site, with just two main Web pages, I can do well with tables. (2) If I were Web site front end developer for many different Web sites, responsible only for the Web pages and not for the content, the site overall, or the business paying for the site, then too soon I'd find that tables were too limiting. So, instead, I'd use JavaScript to look up screen sizes, window sizes, pixels, the physical width of the screen in inches (millimeters, points, etc.) and then use DIV elements, more JavaScript, etc. to try to redesign the page for the screen of each user individually.

Net, from (1) and (2) what works for me for my just two Web pages for just my startup is not flexible or powerful enough for Web pages in general. Okay.

For the Apple announcement video, apparently that is blocked in the US on copyright grounds by NBC.

I didn't realize that Web page designers were going to so much trouble to accommodate tiny smartphone screens.

Really, for my Web site, getting a good user experience (UX) for smartphone users will be a strain unless, say, smartphone users are wearing special glasses or are very near sighted!

Thanks for the tutorial.
Hm, hydrolox could indeed be possible. Didn’t think of that.

But you’d still need a very large number of missions to make construction and maintenance of the moon base cheaper than just directly going where you want to go. It’s probably going to be a while before a moon base makes sense for economical reasons.

Also, the moon does not have a dark side. It has a far side that never faces the earth, but the sun shines there just like it does on the other side.
You're just describing inexperienced but somewhat technically competent developers. I was also like that at the beginning of my career. Most of the programmers go through this way. I guess the difference these days is that the ratio of people at the beginning of their careers to the seasoned developers is way higher and they are being assigned more and more critical tasks as demand goes through the roof.

That would seem rather detached from reality.
Anecdotal: apparently I stopped crying and started smiling when I was introduced to my mom, which the doctors found unusual.
From what perspective are you seeking?

If you take the perspective of a consumer internet business, then knowing your user is pretty valuable, and may help in monetization and UX.
Why do we need academics to tell us? Go ask wall street. Go work on wall street. It's not a secret. There is a reason why the most valuable commodity on wall street is information.

We know insider trading happens. Just like we know price collusion ( libor rates or lysine price fixing ) happens.

If banks are colluding on something as fundamentally important as libor rates, then everything and anything is happening.
The author's implied premise that a smile is a universal form of emotional expression vs a cultural adaptation was presented in the Darwin paper he cited: "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals". Interestingly, a 2012 paper tested this hypothesis:

"In sum, our data directly show that across cultures, emotions are expressed using culture-specific facial signals. Although some basic facial expressions such as fear and disgust (2) originally served as an adaptive function when humans “existed in a much lower and animal-like condition” (ref. 1, p. 19), facial expression signals have since evolved and diversified to serve the primary role of emotion communication during social interaction. As a result, these once biologically hardwired and universal signals have been molded by the diverse social ideologies and practices of the cultural groups who use them for social communication."

"Facial expressions of emotion are not culturally universal", http://www.pnas.org/content/109/19/7241
there seems to be disparity in the definition of comfort.

Your Danish home is going to be smaller, you're not going to drive a giant car, but in return you have excellent access to public transport, years of income guarantee should you lose your job, your kids and you have universal access to healthcare and education regardless where you are on the social strata and so forth. If that's a definition of comfort you like, then Denmark is for you. If you don't, you're better off somewhere else. Rest assured, nobody in Denmark is living in a hut.
Ok great, but I'm just laughing because I regularly get mudballs 10-20 times+ that size and I figure them out.

Technically, singular works as well. I.e a train that leaves between two others (either physically or timetable-wise)

"Zug" is also a form of pull(ziehen). So it could also be interpreted as 'while pulling'. But that's pretty far fetched tbh

I'm not the parent, however, and can't answer your question.
Vscode is not vs.

I didn’t want to go into a detailed argument. Just look at the broad lines of what happens in practice. On one side you have a diverse environment with different development machines, deployment machines and so on. On the other side you don’t have diversity. It is as simple as that.

> you don't actually have a clue what the finances of your interviewers are like, and you don't actually have a clue what the finances of your competitors are like

The point isn't about the wealth of these people, it's about their background, and the resulting confidence and comfort with which they can negotiate the social structure of interview and employment at these companies.

All it would require is just that the standard deviation for math ability in men (whether by nature or nurture, I am making no judgment either way) is only very slightly higher than for women. Since we are looking at the tail of the distribution, the result would not be surprising.
No, it's invisible to people who don't try to educate themselves, who segregate themselves from the poor.

It literally takes driving 20 minutes out of the walled neighborhoods and into poor parts of any city to dissuade yourself of this. Rural racism should surprise people even less because the people are fighting over limited resources in those areas. You don't even have to go that far. One of my friends (minority) had a story about how he woke up one day in his apartment and some dude was crawling through the window and he had to beat him off with a bat to get him out. These are the same kind of apartments that people live in six to a room (that's what illegal immigration looks like). Growing up in public schools, there were lots of kids like this and stories like this, and it sure as hell is not something that happens in neighborhoods with nice cars parked out front. How people have gone 20 or 30 years without seeing this is strange.

That it could be surprising to people in this day and age (and it's not because it's not obvious, it's because people aren't looking or don't really care), is the biggest problem there is.

When I was 18, I had lived a mostly sheltered middle class life and then moved to South Dallas for six months for church work. The things you saw that weren't 10 miles from every rich kid's doorstep were appalling, it at times was like living in a different country. Regular murders, people walking around with their guts hanging out in plastic bags because they got stabbed, schools that had barbed wire and metal detectors.

You don't have to do much to educate yourself on it, there is no excuse.
Amazon Virtual Private Clouds with Terraform: Introduction and Tutorial
True, this (great) video series doesn't make a clear distinction between electric/AI. But the key evolutionary shift in the next 10yrs is the massive shift towards fleet-based cars, delivery drones, and the post-car-ownership era... it's not just about plugging sensors+AI into today's cars:

- self-driving fleet cars can drop you off and go automatically pick up next person OR recharge at base stations eliminating need for most parking spots (currently 14% of city real estate)

- reduction in average car size, as cars with single occupants no longer need 4-5 seats + cars can drive very close together + synchronized higher speeds... meaning less roads per car & less cars per road

- cars automatically linking up like trains on highways to conserve energy

- repurpose above unused lanes for dedicated high speed delivery drone lanes + drop-off/pick-up zones replacing of parking spots

- removal of traffic barriers in the middle of all multi-lane roads (so middle lanes can automatically be shifted to the opposite direction depending on traffic load) ala SF Golden Gate Bridge
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hMkLcAstxgA/maxresdefault.jpg

..but with software, and not just for rush hour

- redesigns of car interiors to support leisure time and work activity (swivel chairs, tables, screens, etc)

- eventual elimination of traffic signs/lights

Both electric/AI requires completely rethinking how traffic, infrastructure, and cars are designed, and both often compliment each other...so why not do it simultaneously?
IANAL and don't know anything about this, but I suspect she's defended against enough of these "frivolous" lawsuits that she's able to write these responses relatively quickly. While expensive, they're probably not as expensive as paying out what's demanded in the initial claim.
It's disappointing, but you'd have to have been living under a rock for two thousand years to find it shocking.
True, except that in a lot of small teams, you see the same developers handling both.
Ah, nice. Thanks. No it does not.
Another thought is that babies knowledge of the world is want and pain. Give them a break. They want to go back to the pleasant place they just came from.
The moon’s inclination is 5 degrees to the ecliptic, you’d have to try really hard to find a worse place to put solar panels.

Self-sufficiency would require manufacturing complex organical compounds and is total science fiction stuff, and will likely remain that way for a looong time.
Perhaps this is more of the case in the UK where class is more of a salient aspect of life than in the US?
I'm going to use this conversation as a teaching example in my law-school contract drafting course.

(In contract disputes, the parties' lawyers will often look for exploitable "security holes" of this kind, i.e., places where the contract's language can plausibly be interpreted in multiple ways and the choice of interpretation affects the outcome of the dispute. A big part of the job of contract drafters and reviewers is to try to spot and eliminate such weaknesses before the contract is signed, but that doesn't always happen.)
'Black Panther' marks milestone in black culture's impact on Hollywood
The anti-pattern / co-option of devops as a role is almost entirely overlapping with companies undergoing digital transformations and advised by some CIO magazine, Big Four, or Gartner team that it’s important for said transformation. Because the cultural transformation in itself is already being branded as something new and idiosyncratic to the company the term “devops” as the cultural change itself is dropped to avoid confusion.

In most large non-tech companies operations is a cost center budgeted alongside facilities and basic costs of business and also usually run by managers less frequently with a software background as much as an IT or traditional business background focused around cost efficiencies. I’m not sure whether this designation or Taylorism is fundamentally the root causes for why “devops” from the cultural sense is not really happening.

Because the two most magical things in the early stages of parenthood are:

* when the baby consciously smiles at you for the first time (they will often smile in their sleep, but that's "only" cute);

* when the baby laughs for the first time - doing something that's funny enough to them for them to vocalize their pleasure can be a challenge!

I think C# is lucky in a way. It's getting old and bloated at a moment in history when modern is essentially synonymous with being a convoluted multi-paradigm monster gobbling up features and syntactic sugar at a frantic pace.

Even the Go crowd has made the first step towards quantum computing, leaving behind errno in favor of returning both a possibly invalid return value and an error that can be nil and non-nil at the same time! ;-)
I think the issue is that they can show that it's happening with data. And only after that, can solutions be suggested.

And the solutions would be systematic ones (changing trading laws).

Not really sure how you can reach that conclusion. With JSX you are declaring what the HTML will look like, rather than specifying how to do the transitions. It's difficult to get more declarative than that.
When it launched in 2013, Hangouts used an NPAPI plugin that worked in most browsers. In 2014, Google ported Hangouts to WebRTC for Chrome only because it relied on non-standard WebRTC features only implemented in Chrome. Note that Firefox did support WebRTC at this time and Mozilla in fact developed its own WebRTC video chat service in 2014 called "Hello" that worked in Firefox and Chrome.

In 2015, Mozilla announced that it would drop support for NPAPI plugins in 2017, giving websites using NPAPI plugins ~18 months to switch to a non-plugin solution. When the NPAPI deadline came, Google announced the Hangouts would stop working in Firefox, they were "actively working to develop a solution" for Firefox, and until then Hangouts users should use another browser:

https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/02/google-hangouts...

It's 2018 and Google is still working to support WebRTC in Firefox, but they're definitely working on it. In fact, WebRTC Hangouts does mostly work in Firefox now, but only for users with a G Suites enterprise account whose admin has manually enabled Hangouts. I don't know why.

"Hangouts Meet" is a different product using WebRTC whose support for Firefox is still in development.

I've been documenting this saga on this Mozilla wiki as part of the NPAPI deprecation and Win64 Firefox rollout:

Fox news the website has been making news on other sites in recent months. The website itself had a right lean but was far far more moderate than the tv channel it was based off. There have been recently been far more hard right posts and people have taken note of the changes making it more like the commentary on the tv channel.
Yeah, another element is that we don't even associate with other white people from different cultural or class backgrounds regularly. And people who have "controversial opinions" will be careful to keep their thoughts to themselves if there is any doubt about where the other people in the room stand. (Of course, things are different in the pseudonymous World Wide Web.) As a resident of a large, midwestern city, I can tell you that the suburbs are chock full of racists who know better than to let on to anyone who isn't "one of them." And that means more than having pale skin.

> penchant for math is randomly distributed among all people

Fields medals are not awarded based on "penchant for math" though. And it surely isn't exactly fault of the prize committee that there aren't very many female mathematicians to choose from.

Note: I don't know if 55/56 is "correct" from the point of the actual numbers.
I have wondered why Paul Graham is so adamant that having cofounders are better than single founder, when cofounders seem to be a key reason for startup failure.

I would have thought that the preferred option would be single founders.
You could probably make this comparison: For someone who, for whatever reason, doesn't want to spend time learning the underlying technology, they will end up with a better solution if they use Vue.

In my case I have looked at the underlying technology of front end web and it appears to be nothing fundamental. Rather, it's a series of historical accidents, mainly around trying to make a markup based, styled, document behave like an application. I find it hard to get motivated to learn that. According to the article, the likes of me would be better off using Vue or some equivalent.
WSL essentially is to Linux what WINE is to Windows. On all my machines WINE (and virtualbox when I needed true emulation) helped me to ditch native Windows completely years ago.
So why shouldn't I think WSL real purpose is to discourage people from doing native Linux installs? For most people the effect is the same, just reversed.

The problem might arise should they diverge enough that software has to be maintained in multiple versions, so that commercial software companies will have to choose which one to support, and they invariably go for the one with the (biggest) company/corporation attached to it which of course would be Microsoft (just look ad Debian vs Ubuntu).
Should this scenario seem impossible, think what would happen if Microsoft decided to write a library that exposes all important device drivers to the underlying Linux subsystem: gaming companies could write their games without any fear of incompatibilities because they're using the Windows graphics card driver, the same way I use Linux drivers for a sound card Windows ceased to support years ago when I load a Windows audio software under WINE (example: Reaper+Tascam US122). That day Linux native installs would be less and less appealing for commercial (and sadly many amateur) software developers,
which makes me very pessimistic.
Microsoft is already a platinum member of the Linux foundation for reasons that go beyond my level of comprehension; what would prevent them say 5 years from now, from telling the world that their Linux is the real one?

edit: minor correction
+100 I have had two business partnerships with a co-founder go south after a few years when personal situations changed drastically. With my first co-founder, it was when his wife was relegated to a wheelchair when an operation went wrong, and with the second, it was when her partner decided to end their long term relationship.

NB: I wouldn't say that I was squeaky clean innocent either - in the first case above, I had also just gotten married about the same time, so it was the sudden change in goals and priorities for each of us that was the catalyst for the co-founder relationship to break down.
One argument that some have is that men have a more extreme distribution of IQ and mathematical ability and when it comes to things like the Fields medal it is the few extreme ones that make an impact.

I don't know how well done those studies are though.

EDIT: I doubt it is that big though.
One of my favourite hacks is this script (which might well not work - it's flaky):

https://bitbucket.org/twic/devtools/src/1b7a8f9ab849b36de70c...

Which, given a specification of a filehandle (eg an IP address or path) uses lsof to determine the PID of the owning process and the numeric value of the filehandle, and then uses gdb to attach to that process and close it. It's a crude but simple way of exercising error-handling code.
Debate about whether or not artifacts are for ritual purposes always reminds me of a wonderful book by David Macaulay called "Motel of the Mysteries." [1] The publisher's description gives a good sense of it:

"It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization."

Remember, a lot of these cryptocoins started out as toys, experiments or get-rich-quick schemes that were never seriously designed to handle millions of dollars. MtGox is perhaps the classic example here: the biggest Bitcoin exchange of its time started out life as a Magic the Gathering trading cards exchange, and just kept on hacking on that shitty codebase until it inevitably got pwned.
Was the warning added by the hackers, though?

> When I was younger , I would visit websites such as AOP , and ask questions and then be treated in a condescending way by students who were my age or younger who would then boast about their scores on Contests such as AMC.

(Assuming you mean AoPS) As someone who was relatively active in that scene back then, but not nearly good enough to brag about their score, I find the reason behind this to be relatively obvious. It’s not that they’re trying to put you down because of your age; rather, they’re teenagers being told that they’re the best at math in the country. It’s easy to let that get to your head.
The date for this one is an estimate based on Lucian's lifespan; looks like the good people at Lapham's Quarterly were mistaken in attributing it to c. 590 Athens, seeing as how he wrote during the Roman Empire. He did set the fictional dialogue in the Athens of that time though.
50/56 is more likely. To get to 55/56 is quite an outlier.
