Changing the menu "subtly" is still changing the menu. How does it work with everyone else in the store, are you going to compute optimal clusters on the fly? How are people going to react when the menu is morphing in front of them? Are franchisees expected to pay for all the hardware and compute involved?

Sorry, but I'm just not buying the vision. Facebook has ridden this incredible wave, first of investors spooging themselves with excitement over the potential value of all the data collected, then the wave of advertisers coming in and spending massive amounts with very questionable ROI. Long term everyone is going to get more sophisticated and realize there are cases where "would you like fries with that?" simply performs better once you factor in the weaknesses of comprehensive data-driven in-store advertising (cost, bandwidth, alienation, noisy data, key data out of band, etc, etc).
In case it helps—there are browser extensions, at least for Firefox and Chrome, that allow you to make videos play faster. I use "Video Speed Controller"; it has hotkeys to increase/decrease speed in units of 10%, to jump back and forth by 10 seconds (and all the above numbers and keys are customizable), and more; I think it works on any HTML5 video, including Youtube. The audio speedup is well done; I don't think it makes it harder to understand except insofar as I have less time to process it. I often view videos at 1.4x to 1.8x speed, and I have friends who say they go faster.
libdill is about concurrency made easy (according to the home page). But this tutorial has no concurrency as far as I can see after a quick read. That's a bit weird way introducing a library.
In Chinese they go “ma2” (麻）which means “numb” or “tingly”. Interestingly the character is also used for their spicy hot pot (麻辣火鍋) which uses a spice called Sichuan peppercorn (花椒) which makes your mouth go numb like novocaine.
My argument is the option you're omitting:

d) animals suffer, we should care, but we should not pass laws when their sole purpose is to prevent that suffering.

There is more to a society that what it compels at gunpoint. We can abhor behavior without proscribing it by law.

Trust is my issue too. I've put almost no personal information on FB since the day I opened my account. But over the last year it's gotten worse: I trust the news sources less, I trust the ads less, I deleted the FB app, and I trust the FB company least of all. That translates to me posting less and spending less time on the website, and never "just using FB" to sign up for another website.

And you know what? I'm happier with less FB in my life.

I’m in a similar boat. No experience with Unity or game dev in general, ran through some tutorials but it seems really heavy for doing something simple. I coincidentally picked up Lua recently and found it a delight, and this framework looks right up my alley.
I've been reading gnome plant for a while and the recent blog posts about the move to gitlab and how gnome builder can just clone and build gnome apps are pretty promising, in terms of reducing friction.

Debian and distros in general should take note of that.

That said, I think distros (and debian) should look to provide a base system on which we can run flatpaks and containers.

The create a container with a low-friction programming language specific package manager for each project a developer is working on... and publish end-user apps as flatpaks, as these are the only thing people care to update anyways.
"Fall" has a few definitions but one of them is "pass into a specified state". So "fell asleep" means changing from being awake to sleeping.

I'm wondering whether I should make some recordings (or even train a chatbot) to respond to these type of calls if/when I'm gone. Already, when I go through my past email & chat archives, I see that there is enough there to reconstruct my responses to most day-to-day questions.

But I personally believe that humans forget the faces and voices of departed loved ones over time by design. We're not meant to relive pain but to gradually have the associated memories overwritten by new ones. Our digitally augmented memories are an impediment to completing the grieving process. But then again, I'm a person who feels grief in a very muted form so I'm not really qualified to pass judgment here.

I've done the latter, but basically it's been luck that the program I used (Pages 09) works for print, and also copy/pastes decent html.

Currently jerry-rigging a script to get html out of it by pasting the scrivener and exporting, while keeping pages 09 for print.

It....works, but I would not recommend it unless you have a clear reason to do both. And I'd recommend another program, as pages 09 will eventually be made incompatible on mac.
Of course it does. Go to endmyopia.org. I have improved my eyesight easily in only a few months. I know I’ll end up not needing glasses because I’ve understood how it works. Optometrist just want to sell you glasses and don’t want to tell you how to fix your vision.
Exactly! :)

On the desktop we'll have the same problem with flatpaks.
I hope it might all be okay, if the base-system is provided by distros..
When I prepared my master thesis some years ago, I needed to extract parts of the main materials to build another small book that contained only the main ideas, theorems and proof highlights. \LaTeX and it's programming interface really helped as I could define a new environment for example

\begin{shipboth}
contents for both thesis and the small book
\end{shipboth}

This is an example of making things DRY. How can I do the same with Markdown (and their tools)?

(Well I rarely use \LaTex today; my R\'esum\'e was typeset in \LaTeX and it helped me to get a good job but when it has so many things I just write them in a .odt file)
I do enjoy the fact that the first line is incorporated in the last line of the book, making it an infinite loop of sorts.

Debian works best for languages that haven't standardized on their own easy-to-use package manager. Such as C and C++. Concentrate on that?

If that's not ambitious enough, what would it take for the implementers of a new language to be convinced to just use Debian as their package manager? It seems like that would require a lot of changes.

Interesting. I still enjoy reading old format books, but my eyesight and my time are not what they used to... not to mention that in the age of paper my allergies often forced me to decide between a book and a pleasant day.

However, thanks to technology now I enjoy books in audiobook format. I spend about an hour every day commuting with an audiobook, and I have discovered that I have good patience for good authors even in academic topics, like political economy. On the other hand, I miss paper books those times when I have to plow through/listen to particularly dreary fragments of a book ... with paper I would skip those so easily ...

I am confused by your doubt. If English is not your native tongue, what instinct leads you to believe the statement is peculiar? Is it because English can mislead a non-native speaker?

The answer is yes: having lived in 9 of the 50 US States in every cardinal (and sub) direction - as well as a stint in London - I’ve never encountered any confusion about this phrase. Limbs fall asleep. Or, a limb is asleep. But, if you’re sitting on your leg, and you know this to cut circulation, it would be unsurprising for you to say “it’s falling asleep” with the “degree” being the amount of paresthesia you expect to encounter when moving the limb.

Yes, I know, and no, you're right, I didn't make that clear at all.

What is law if not the ability to arrest controversy?
Go’s dependency management story is not just “not pretty” it is a total disaster as recent story with hijacked repo had shown. It does not allow proper versioning, repo management, total garbage. And how is making packages is a problem? You jast add opam file and that is all. You can do versioning, pin any opam or git repo, or even some fs resource.

Yes ocaml compiler is light years ahead Go’s one in terms of optimizations and code analysis (and even correctness [1]). It is still not as great as haskell’s one, but very good, especially with new lambda middle end. Go compiler is straightforward as hell and can’t do much inlining or optimizations that ocaml can.

Windows support was always tier 1 in compiler. Jbuilder also supports windows and even cross-compilation with windows as a target. Opam now compiles on Windows was too.

As for libraries opam now have thousands of these and ocaml libraries’ quality is often much higher than the quality of libs of this other imperative language due to quality of language.

Feel free to go to Switzerland and change the law if you think so. You are perfectly free to try and get the consitution changed, as long as you can convince 100'000 citizens to agree with you.

As it stands: yes, the laws do work. It's not common for private households to be inspected, but farms do get inspected, and eventually shut down for repeatedly flouting such laws. If someone were to report you (i.e. private household) for similar violations you would likely get a police+vet visit and your pets would be confiscated (and you would carry the costs of that, in addition to being fined). Do it often enough and there would eventually be a criminal case.
> The idea is to run your JS program as part of compilation, evaluating it as much as you can. Then take what's left in the heap and serialize it back to JS. Then ship that to browsers/devices.

Could you elaborate on what is cool about that? I feel like I'm missing something...sounds like it analyzes javascript to make it run faster.
It only strip your liberties if you think you have full rights over the animals, and they have none.

One can argue that humans are animals. Animals are protected by law and thus you should not harm any animal being human or from other species.

A rather lengthy article that doesn't find any references to a primary source.
I joined an instance which focuses on the things I'm interested in, and look at the local timeline. That timeline contains original posts (i.e. not replies) posted from that instance. I'd follow pretty much anyone posting anything remotely interesting.

Unfollowing people that keeps posting uninteresting things is also important of course.

I really wonder why the the exploitation of workers and the immiseration of people who have no hope for economic mobility is acceptable in any circumstance. "Simply" operating a sweatshop in capitalism is by definition an effort to expand it.
That is what I hope most developer will do instead.
There is also a crossover between both cases you mentioned here which I see in some people close to me (and possibly I have succumbed to it too in the past) in struggling with the inability to change the flawed macro environment we all exist in. The person doesn't necessarily fall into any of the instability categories you mention and have otherwise covered their physical needs well. Typically these are people who expected more from the world and society than was reasonable. When this mental model breaks down the only way out of it is for them to update their model by choosing to ignore, or more accurately not care so much about non-immediate reality.
"People say that the psychedelic experience is hard to remember, that dreams are hard to remember but harder to remember than either of those is simply ordinary experience. You lie in the baths and you close your eyes for thirty seconds and empires fall, dynastic families unfold themselves, power changes hands, princes are beheaded, a pope is disgraced and then somebody drops something and you wake up and fifteen seconds have passed. That’s the reality of life but we suppress this chaotic irrational side. The genius of Joyce and to some degree although in a more controlled form, Proust - and there were other practitioners, Faulkner certainly – what they called stream of consciousness but what it was, was an ability to really listen to the associating mind without trimming, pruning, judging or denying. One of the great puzzles to me is the great antagonism between Jung and Joyce because you would have thought they would have been comrades in arms but Joyce loathed psychoanalysis. He thought that to use all this material to elucidate imagined pathologies was very uncreative use of it and it should all be fabricated into literature. " McKenna, from "Surfing the Wake" above.

No I'm not, I'm literally describing the NCES own numbers. Here:

https://imgur.com/a/MQUx0

The point of discussion is whether there has been a drastic reduction in female participation in CS since the early 80s. This is a point that is commonly brought up, based on the graph of the gender _ratio_ of degrees conferred (which is dominated by bachelor's degrees).

As this ratio has dropped only because the absolute male numbers have increased, it is unfair to attribute that to a reduction in female participation.

I never said anything about equal gender balance, in fact, I strongly believe anyone who aims for a 50/50 gender ratio in STEM has embarked on a quest for a holy grail that can never be found, for the same reason social workers and nursing will never be 50/50 gender balanced. The only way to get close is to actively discriminate against the people most interested in it, and this is both stupid and immoral.

By the way, during those crucial 80s and 90s, computer tech was strongly associated with geeks and nerds, and the popular image was that of socially inept rejects. But now all that has been retconned as women being discriminated against, because the hard work of those nerds has turned it into a lucrative and prestiguous discipline. The idea that women weren't welcomed is preposterous, those men and the communities they built have always been infatuated with any woman who considered them worthy of respect, and a minority of women have always been part of it too.
This is ridiculous behaviour.

And I'm curious as to who these visitors are broken down into sub-groups.

You believe selling is not his primary role? You used a double negative in your comment so I’m unclear.

Anyway, as his duty to Amazon is selling equity and debt to drive growth - and has been for the last 2 decades, if not 3 - I’d conclude that sales best defines his primary duty.

Sure, he manages and directionally pushes the organization, but he’s doing that to improve his ability to raise capital, increase shareholder confidence, and build a tappable revenue pipeline.

How would you argue he’s not primarily a salesman?

There are people afraid of bugs, dogs, cats, birds, balls etc... There are also people who experience anxiety for unknown reasons due to anxiety disorder. Moreover, there is no, quoting you, "large chance to die in the end" in roller coasters. I don't think any part of your argument makes sense, sorry.

If you just want to source art assets using 'standard' definitions used in CG and games you

a. Subcontract them
b. Purchase them from some store or source free ones
c. Use generator programs like Poser

and any combination of those.

If you want to learn modeling and art in general,you learn modeling. The trick is it's partly art, so unlike, say, woodworking, the number of free parameters to master is quite large.
Not any company. Every decade has a foundational technology upon which most of the economic growth of that period is based. 1987 - 1997 was the decade of the personal computer. 1997 - 2007 was the decade of the world wide web. 2007
- 2017 was the decade of mobile which is just starting to get mature. 2017 - 2027 will be the decade of AI / autonomy. Who will be the companies that excel at AI? The ones that can invest the most engineering dollars, and the ones that have access to large datasets for training. So I suppose you could say all tech companies with large datasets are just getting started given the growth I imagine we’ll see in the next decade.

Also I’m talking about tracking someone using their face, without them interacting with any systems at all or even checking out. Sure you could do implement a simpler similar system with credit cards but people have many credit cards that change often and so it would be difficult to get an accurate full profile of an individual. By contrast Facebooks AI would be universal and would be able to look at what you ordered at Wendy’s and use that to optimize the menu that is presented to the user for optimal conversions, even if you’ve never been in a mcdonald’s before. This is nice if you’re mcdonald’s but if you’re a small restaurant it’s a game changer. I don’t even know if Facebook is working on this but you can imagine them making a lot of money offering these types of services.
The obsession with wanting things to turn out a certain way is in itself unhealthy. Life is much more interesting and rewarding if you follow a non-deterministic model. It's a journey with no goal and it's really really short. I've been much happier and achieved a lot more when I stopped hoping for outcomes and started enjoying the moment, the here and now. Life is what is happening right here right now, or as John Lennon (actually quoting Allen Saunders) eloquently put it, "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans".
As I said, I am quite possibly being led astray by my native language. Danish/Norwegian is so very, very close to English in so many areas of vocab, grammar, and idiom, it's sometimes hard to keep the instinctives of one from bleeding into the other.
