Interesting..if you mean physical shape, then I always thought that the most effective way to "get in shape" is a simple discipline combined with the primitive reward-system..Literally - just don't eat junk food, work out for 30 minutes per day and if you are happy about results, go ahead and reward yourself by a piece of apple cake or whatever(reduce your normal intake to keep everything balanced - for advanced users). This is so simple and so effective that you don't need anything else - no trackers, no complex data analysis or shrink visits. Amazingly a lot of people ignore this simple path and try various tools like this "exist" thingie.
Isolationism is much more than giving up foreign territories, it is as much about that as it is about solely looking after your own interests rather than a more global view. Places where you would see this are treaties, entities like NATO, the United Nations and so on and by that yardstick the US is becoming more isolationist by the day.

Diego Garcia being vacated would be a sign that America is no longer a world power by any measure. It might come to that, but not in the next 30 years or so.

Not only would it suffice, it is the only way to tell if an email address is capable of receiving mail. There's no regex that can tell you that.
I think the point was that "Buddhist" is probably not the most apt word to describe the people who did these things. Buddhist may well be part of their cultural or personal identities, but to most Americans and Europeans at least, I suspect that labeling these people primarily as "Buddhist" is not actually useful, and in fact in the minds of an audience mostly unfamiliar with Buddhism, much less with the society where this happened in Myanmar, such a style tends to associate Buddhism with the activities described, when there's no link. Ultimately, using "Buddhists" and "Muslims" to distinguish the two groups is just sloppy reporting.

Again, this may be an important difference between members of the two groups, but like any conflict between groups, the differences in identity are what get played up and pointed out, when the differences are rarely the _reason_ for the conflict. They're a way to manipulate people into joining a side, or to cultivate political resentment, or to explain a complex situation in a simple way for a mass audience. But such reporting only buys into and amplifies the artificial distinctions that feed the conflict. The reporters do no favors to these people by oversimplifying the situation.
XB Software Has Become a Partner of TokBox
The point of medical heroin, or other harm reduction programs, is to allow people to get on with their actual life without the all consuming addiction being front and centre all the time. I'm currently on a methadone program in the UK (there aren't any heroin based programmes as far as I know here) and it lets me keep up my job as a software engineer without daily worries about having to make sure I can score and not be 'sick' (i.e. withdrawing) and unable to work or go to the office. A heroin prescription would accomplish the same thing for me, and for people in a worse situation - perhaps unemployed or homeless - it would mean even more, since they could devote their energy to rebuilding their life.

Personally, I don't really need a safe injecting space - I own my own home and have a pretty stable lifestyle, but again, I can see how for other addicts it would be incredibly helpful. Again and again, as seen in other comments, it can be seen how despite objections these places provide an objective positive benefit to society.

> Don't bother learning the local language. Don't bother hanging out at local cheap bars. Don't bother paying a fair price for things.

My friends and I study Thai. We love cheap bars where local people hang out. We don't haggle, and we tip generously. We try hard to abide by local customs.

> Digital nomads, especially from the Silicon Valley startup area, are the new digital colonialists destroying Asia

My teachers are glad I'm here. The people at the restaurants and cafes I frequent are glad to have my business. When I ask Uber or Grab drivers in Thai if they like their work, they almost always say yes.

You call it gentrification, but the locals seem to prefer living in the city rather than the villages where they were born. Do you think they'd prefer it if people like me decided to just stay home rather than travel? I don't. And I'm actually here. Where are you doing all that hating from?

Why go to the point of trying to send an e-mail, have the user wait for a confirmation e-mail, ask for it again, wait again and then at some point find their mistake if you could have immediately prompted them fix their mistake as they put in user@gmailcom? Validation doesn't have to catch every mistake to be useful.
The unreliability of those figures will be no surprise to anyone who follows China's economy or politics closely, and I hope this bodes for better quality statistics in the future.

There's a small industry of people who try to measure Chinese growth in other ways that are harder to forge such as railway shipment tonnage and energy consumption; it'll be interesting to see to what extent those methods are vindicated if/when better quality data becomes available.
Yes, exactly. If you issue warnings rather than hard errors, you also have a lot of leeway for notifying the user on things like "gamil.com" and other misspellings without being terribly annoying.

"I don’t know why zombie processes consume that much RAM,
but it’s probably because there should never be enough of
them for that to matter."

Wow, I am surprised the complete breakdown in the logic there. It's almost like saying the cart is in front of the donkey because the donkey doesn't matter. It's easy enough to find out why but the OP author never bothers to. And also the answer is normally covered in any reasonable undergrad operating systems class.

Am I becoming an old curmudgeon or is understanding operating systems just not seen as necessary these days?
My Dear Drone – Quadcopter (UAV) News and Reviews
I've been in Chiang Mai for about 3 months now; it's rained literally once. "Winter" lasted for maybe 10 days, which meant evening temps in the high 50s I'd guess.

The only real gotcha is now, when the "burning season" begins. Farmers across the north of India and SE Asia start torching previous season's fields, which leads to poor air quality. Up until February you're basically good, it's after that that you start seeing people (myself included) donning the wearable breathing masks.

Here's how things are now, just look at all that fresh air[1], you'd think the earth was a tail pipe.

It’s not just password resets that are the issue. It’s also things like:

- Functions to get the account based on the email address

- Internal tools

- Stored procedures and other SQL stuff that happens outside the main code base

- Third-part integrations (Mailgun, Sailthru, ZenDesk, SalesForce, etc.)

That’s a huge attack surface where if there is even a minor mistake by a junior dev that no one noticed then everyone is going to lose their assets under protection.

This was one of the reasons I enjoyed Consider Phlebas. It's basically an outsider looking in (and in a very unfavourable and biased way).
Very business dependent, but typically speaking the brunt of development effort (for tech businesses) is going to be on the backend in terms of man hours. In some orgs it's like 100:1 backend:frontend (or more?).

“I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself”

Procedures and documentation seem to work well for the aviation industry. Things will still go wrong, but only very rarely twice in the same way. It makes development a lot more expensive but it does work and probably is the only way that we are aware of right now that will get this done in a way that leads to acceptable outcomes.

This leads to glacial progress but I find that is preferable over the 'move fast and break shit' mentality that pervades the software industry.
I’d say there’s pretty good evidence for the vaccine’s safety just from the fact that tens or hundreds of millions of people get it every year, and the only seriously bad effect that’s been noticed is a possible 1-2 per million incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

When I search to see how much money the CDC makes from vaccine patents, I get a vast sea of wacko anti-vaccine sites, plus a few debunkers mixed in. So I’m not convinced, to put it mildly.
You could argue your preconception point as a negative as well. To quote the GP:

> The reality is that a relatively small handful of privileged early adopters get good usernames that match their identities, and everyone else gets screwed. These identifiers then act like tatoos that you got a long time ago and are stuck with for the rest of your life: people end up reminded every day of a sport they can no longer play due to an injury ("hockeystar") or loves lost ("iheartjessie"), attached to a joke that is no longer funny or to a thought that they found adorable as a 13 year old (when you are legally asked to "choose a username": a modern era coming of age scenario) but which adults find inane, or to a nickname that means something different than you realized to some people and now can't change.

The best happy medium is a user name that can change. But so many places make them static (sometimes for reasons no better than they just made "username" the foreign key in their users table)

> I come from the ICQ time

Likewise; that's why I used it as an example ;) I think comparing ICQ to IRC is a bit disingenuous as they occupied slightly different use cases.

If you want to profit, then build and monetize for that.

Both countries are still incredibly culturally significant, they've just traded their authenticity for whatever tricks draw dollars.

Thailand for example has been a hedonistic paradise for several decades. Full moon parties, rampant prostitution and cheap surgery. I'm guessing you've never been to Koh Phangan, Patong Road or Pattaya if you think it's the digital nomads destroying Thailand.

Religion is the fundamental fault line in this series of massacres, and the military has broad support from Buddhists throughout the country. In that context I don't see why 'Buddhist village, Buddhist community" is inappropriate, and certainly do not see evidence of a hidden agenda.
Better have a wiki with some obsolete pages than have nothing and no documentation at all.
Thank you for the comparison. According to this site https://co2.myclimate.org/en/portfolios?calculation_id=10570..., London-Bangkok round trip by coach is 3.6 tons of CO2, so two r/t flights would be 7.2.

The ones I know travel that much several times a year, which puts them over an order of magnitude above a suburban commuter, at least for travel costs.

So compared to most of the world, who don't have cars to commute, they're multiple orders of magnitude over.

Darn. I had hoped they weren't polluting so much. I hope they enjoy the environments they are helping pollute before they're gone.

Heh, heroin does cost about that much, same for methadone, at least in the UK. I can get 100ml of 1mg/ml methadone for GBP 10 which will keep me stable for a day or two; a GBP 10 (i.e. 'tenner bag' or 0.2g) of heroin is enough for a single IV shot for many users. Of course, depending on your tolerance, that may well not be enough, but my point is that 'legal' heroin would probably be much cheaper than current 'street' prices. I'm not sure how cannabis prices have varied in places where it's legal in the US, though - do taxes bring the price back to parity with the old 'street' level? I'm guessing it's going to be complicated by the fact that it's still illegal in other states?

Domininc Sayers has written a fair amount on email address validation in the past and has a decent library of test cases which I have found useful in the past. https://dominicsayers.wordpress.com/category/design/code/ema...
What happens when someone calls the CS person and tells them to type in their email address instead of copy pasting it or whatever. If there are any bugs at all in the CS software then it won’t be hard for the CS person to believe there is a bug they need to work around similar to the other bugs that are already in their dashboard.

The point of social engineering attacks is that they’re innocuous requests that don’t raise suspicion, and are hard to train people against.
Seems ingenuous to compare digital nomads that are flying around the world several times a year to commuters who never take vacations or fly for business.
I remember seeing a medieval stylised drawing of an archer (not sure if from the Bayeux Tapestry or elsewhere) but the archer's upper body was basically a diamond shape, showing massive lat and traps development.

In an era where I would guess people were stronger anyway due to manual work, they stood out as particularly muscular.
They'll try, for sure. We'll see how this pans out pretty soon now.
Would it be ridiculous to suggest that this is no different to requiring all usernames to be composed of CJK characters? That would be inconvenient and exclusive, no?

That's a very common pattern. Look at any state with significant urban centers. It's very common for the city schools to have significantly higher per-student spend than affluent suburbs while simultaneously often being near the bottom in terms of test scores--which, while imperfect, are at least a reasonable proxy for the overall learning environment at a given school.

How to Install Printer Samsung-ML-1520 on OS X 10.12 Mac OS Sierra
A good complement to strace is ltrace(1):

ltrace is a program that simply runs the specified command until it exits.
It intercepts and records the dynamic library calls which are called by the executed process and the signals which are received by that process.
It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program.

Also noteworthy is that you can simply press s key in htop to immediately attach a process and inspect it, which was handy many times for me.

"Pinker knows this because he’s already been through the process with his previous book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, which persuasively argued – again with graphs and a mountain of research "

Admittedly I did not read TBEoON, but attended one of Pinker's talks on it. My main problem with it was exactly with the graphs that he presented. He argued that reaching back into ancient history he could show a trend of improvement. There were no error bars at all on this graph, leading me to be suspicious that the contested early data (are ancient human remains showing the traces of butchery the result of murder and cannabilism or of ritual, religious cannabilism?) are misused to create a "trend".

I wouldn't blame the people. I would blame what passes for a modern "educator". Putting a student in 'contact with beauty' of a subject is easy. Getting them on a disciplined track to mastery is another matter entirely.

For those who want to do the latter, it's not enough to be passionate and skilled in your subject. You have to deeply understand how discipline can be produced in a student.
It isn’t a mandate to increase density. The proposed law removes limits. It doesn’t mandate anything. Existing limits are preventing market forces from working.

In Berkeley there is a subway station surrounded by a five-acre parking lot. The owner of the parking list wishes to build there, but the city refuses to rezone the land, which is presently “U - Unclassified”. This law would remove Berkeley’s authority in the matter.

In San Francisco 71% of the land is zoned for detached single family homes, despite virtually all of that city being within half a mile of a rail or light rail station. This bill would raise all of those limits.

Almost all religions have prohibitions against killing; almost all adherents ignore religious rules whenever they would require acting against their immediate self-interest.

Buddhists are no exception. Sad as it may be, such atrocities are not unprecedented and have accompanied Buddhism throughout its history; just as they have accompanied any other faith.
