I've been biking to work every day for over 6 months now, though mine is considerably shorter - 2 miles in SF.
I got tired of being stuck on cramped muni trains not going anywhere and figured I could use a little exercise every day.
This kind of stuff gives cyclists a bad name. Everyone should follow the same rules. Makes commuting much more predicable.
Never have your ringer on, ever. My phone hasn't made a sound in 4 years.
I didn't fully appreciate the significance of that point at first but now I think I do. It appears that in Norway in particular a Model S can be significantly cheaper than a 7 series or S class.
That's more a restriction of Python, though. It's important to remember that the Jypter Notebook (and now, JupyterLab) is language agnostic. The Julia language, for example, is very well integrated into Jupyter (which, in fact, is a backronym for Julia-Python-R), and Julia is homoiconic.
Technically, if its an app which runs in your browser, and in the cloud only, it would be SaaS, regardless of function. But it also qualifies as a software subscription. So, yes.
Blah. I don't know if he's necessarily wrong, but the writing is both insipid and pretentious. Very philosophy-undergrad. I mean look; given enough time any species of life goes extinct, we're not going to be any exception. I think most people massively underestimate the threat of nuclear war, the threat of war in general, and the amount of damage we're doing to the planet's life support systems.

However- if we're able to at least accept that we can't keep growing the economy exponentially forever- we do have access to a fusion power generator outputting 384.6 yottawatts of power. I'm not saying we're safe from near term human extinction but it's by no means certain. Far term, of course, as I said, every species goes extinct.

Basically I've done enough research that I know this fear is well founded but not for the reasons presented in this paper. A much better and more specific argument could be made.
Unfortunately it was pretty hard to see other, more common, situations like indoors with indirect lighting.
In computer science, a monad is a notation representing an intermediate value and its computational context. E.g., data necessary to continue the next steps of a calculation, or some kind of marker of the value's source (IO monad.)

It's an abstraction which rarely carries its own weight, but it's necessary to understand Haskell for what seem to amount to cultural reasons. Other strongly typed functional languages don't place nearly so much emphasis on it.
What’s the reason (apart from tradition making people think it’s normal) the proce difference between these models is so big in the EU and not in the US?
After many years of learning the many options to iptables, I can only say it's about time. The iptables command is one of the least ergonomic ones I use regularly.

That said, while BPF syntax is great for simple cases, the boolean logic gets pretty messy in a hurry if you want to do something weird.

Simple case comparision:

iptables: iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

theoretical bpf: allow forward tcp dst port 80

Note that the capitalization in the first command is not arbitrary, it must be there for the command to work, exactly as shown. Also, I didn't switch to the double dash option on dport frivolously, there is no single dash option for this incredibly common feature. Plus the manpages are split into a bunch of different parts and the SEE ALSO section at the bottom is woefully incomplete, making it difficult to track down exactly the page you need.

That said, incorporating all of the features from iptables into a BPF syntax is going to require a considerable expansion over what you get with tcpdump. Things like marked packets, NAT, state tracking, etc... all need to be grafted onto the language somehow. And of course everything needs to be well documented because a lot of sysadmins are going to need to learn this in a hurry and bad documentation will make them hate it and insist on keeping iptables instead, warts and all.
Well.. photoshop runs on your computer.. but it requires you to be logged in. It used to be a 1-time purchase, but now it is monthly subscription.

I was being very forgiving and including size in that comparison.

I couldn’t stomach paying S Class money for the thing and went with a Volt, which is at least priced to match its trim (And it was a lot better than I expected when well optioned)
The very next sentence:

“However, after environmental parameters readjust, the clock begins operating again.”

This suggests a lack of manual intervention.
A lot of the cities in SE Asia weren't even planned with cars in mind, hence narrow roads and lack of space. And then you have these giant freeways springing up haphazardly that bottle necks into these tiny roads. THe result is slow moving traffic yet is just too dangerous for pedestrians, let alone cyclists. The locals rely on motorbikes when they want to beat traffic.
The crux seems to be that Google's algorithms are designed to maximize time spent watching. It's frankly absurd how successful they have been at this, especially in younger generations.

It's one thing when their team of PhD's extract attention into cat videos, and another thing to extract it into potentially unhealthy amounts of extremist material and conspiracies.

I don't know what the answer is, but I do miss the days before infinite scroll and autoplay.
> there's no insurmountable reason why the only land worth living in should be concentrated in a few urban centers.

IMHO, one very insurmountable reason is that you could never convince everyone that an urban center is worth living in. Quite a few people just don't enjoy that lifestyle.
One other thing, notice at the start of the article they say "the cash was contaminated with fentanyl and other street drugs". Back in the 80s and 90s, this was used as an excuse for why the cops would seize people's money in the us - often it was a poor person without ability to challenge it. One of many problems with this was that all cash was "contaminated", having some trace of drugs. Canada should strive not to fall into the civil forfeiture hole we have in the us, where the govt seizes people's property separately from charging them with crimes, because it dirty drug money or something. of course they should stop money laundering, but the govt should strive to use factual reasons for taking someone's money.
>* alt + shift + a : insert mode at the end of current line

Is that different from just Shift-a or capital A, which puts you into append mode at the end of the current line (no matter where you are on the line when you press it)?
Dependency management, in my opinion, is one of the problems in the R ecosystem. The lack of name spaces when calling functions has made the community have many little packages that only do one thing on you are not really sure where it was actually used, unless you know the code and the package.

An example is the janitor::clean_names function I like to use for standardizing the column names on a data.frame.

However, the tidyverse is really serious in terms of api consistency and functional style, with pipes and purrr's functionalities. The unixy style of base R is unproductive in terms of fast iterating an analysis. Also, the idea of "everything in a data frame" (or tibble, with list columns and whatnot) together with the tidy data principles really takes the cognitive load off to just get things started.
What do sysadmins generally use BPF or other more advanced firewall systems for?

I've administered only a few production systems, and the firewalls I configured were always very simple. Reject all traffic incoming except for port 22/23, 80/443 and outgoing except for to certain package management systems, that sort of thing.

I admit I've done some slightly more complex things to rewrite things to implement some virtual network thing, but I don't think I did that in production.
Your post didn't say anything.
Agree, but I think they were getting better in the later models. I use a pebble se with a eulit palma pacific watch band and it blends away very well compared to the original pebble. I’m actually afraid of switching to an Apple Watch since it’ll be heavier.

Was that meant to be sarcastic? (Serious question; because the article derides that exact statement.)
Mailpile is great. I use it as sort of a webmail for my private email server. But it's not even close to Gmail, and has no calendar, or note taking app (yes, I actually do use Keep).

I don't think FastMail can really compete with G Suite on anything except "not being the leviathan." Which is not nothing! But as a tool, it's just not as good. And Outlook which you mention in the comment below doesn't even have this.

Let's not underestimate Google here. They offer a full productivity suite, an excellent, tight integration with Android, plus Chrome sync for multiple profiles. They're tough competition.
Your interpretation of these data is misleading at best and dangerously misleading at worst.

>The risk of death from 1 hour of cycling reduces life expectancy by about 24 minutes. Wearing a helmet probably changes this by a couple of minutes.

This data does not take road conditions into account. Most cyclists prefer to bike on roads with very few cars on them. For example the road outside my apartment, a two-lane road outside of town by a lake with no services, is always packed with cyclists. The boulevard connecting my road to the train station, however, is heavily car-trafficked and has almost no cyclists. It is wrong to apply data from cyclists on the first road to those biking on the second.

>1 additional hour of sitting and watching TV in the evening, in an already sedentary life, probably has a similar effect on life expectancy.
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/17/get-up-get-out-dont....

This is double-counting. If you count sitting as a detriment, you can't turn around and count biking as an increment. There has to be a default from which to decrement or increment.

>[first link]>Every Minute Of Exercise Could Lengthen Your Life Seven Minutes

>[second link]>In fact, exercise was a bigger factor than body weight in many cases. People who were normal weight but were inactive actually lived an average of 3.1 fewer years than obese people who kept up high levels of activity.

This is an unjustified assumption of linear behavior. It's possible (likely IMO) that the first couple hours of exercise make a big difference coming from inactivity, but additional exercise on top of this likely has a smaller impact. The data only strongly indicate that cycling will have such a large impact on life expectancy if you already get very little exercise -- less than 2.5 hours/week of brisk walking. It is hard to believe, for example, that biking for 4 hours per day would increase life expectancy by 13 years -- there are practically no interventions known to have such a large effect!
Not just in 2018.

Taxes. I drive a 15 year old car, I would not want to waste money on a new one. My car cost about 14% of what it was new with 55K km on the clock and is in a much cheaper tax bracket than a new one. It's a ridiculous system.

No, GP post is inaccurate. As sources below state, DDG

"generates those results from over 400 individual sources, including key crowdsourced sites such as Wikipedia, and other search engines like Bing, Yahoo!, Yandex, and Yummly.[6][7]" as well as DuckDuckBot.

Also, more importantly, Bing, like google and facebook is building personal dossiers on everyone, while DDG is not.
>On linux, I don't use ESC at all anymore, I just press alt + [a normal mode key], while in insert mode. Like `alt + j`, which will leave insert mode and move one line down.

Why does that work? Is it because Alt + some_key combos generate an escape sequence starting with the actual ESC character? I know that happens with many function key combos, don't remember or not sure about Alt combos.
One of the things that I'm super happy about is that for basic stuff I don't need to manage servers (static sites / web apps hosted on S3 etc., FaaS for basic Code) and when I do need to have full on servers, I can use something like GKE/EKS/AKE to just deploy containers and not manage the underlying infrastructure.

It's super awesome when working on personal projects! (although in a way I did enjoy doing all that in the first place)

In most cases it's the city folks subsidizing the rural folks. It turns out that it costs a lot more money to build the roads, power lines, schools, etc than the small number of rural residents that benefit from them will ever pay in taxes [0]. And in the specific case of New York's MTA, revenue from subway fares has repeatedly been diverted to pay for things other than the subway [1].

If I were not wearing a helmet routinely I'd be so paranoid about getting hit/falling/some injury that there would be no health benefits at all. Wearing a helmet is comfortable, relatively in expensive and life saving. There is really no argument to be made to not have one on your head. I can't believe you are needing to even make a pro-helmet case at all here.
Cherry-picking, then. Real cute.

The biggest advantage of pixel art is that it takes up less resources to create a solid retro type game. Animations suddenly become a lot easier as it relies on the abstract nature of putting the imaginative efforts to the users.

By removing these artifacts, you essentially defeat that purpose. Animating vectors would take a lot more time to create something that seems professional, mostly because you have to be far more detail - analogous to moving from 2d to 3d. I personally don’t see the use cases for this in gaming.
Jupyter doesn’t track the execution history of your cells like this.

However, you can run the shell commands straight from a notebook cell (use the %%bash cell magic or prepend the line with !).

Not sure what to do about editing data files. If you can do this with something like awk, just use a shell magic cell, but if it needs to be done manually I guess you’re stuck manually documenting this in markdown?
I like cash. It's the only semi-anonymous method of making payments.

For instance, I can offer cash to folks so their bosses don't snatch their tips.
Yeah, subway being "wonky" lately is putting it lightly.

I'd love to bike to work. When I lived back in Europe, I used to bike every day to work and back. However, biking in NYC is just insanely dangerous in comparison. I'm really surprised how people do it at all. There aren't real bike paths, and you're supposed to bike on the road right next to all the cars. That's constantly being just one small mistake away from injury/death. I just don't want that risk.
Great thinking, the world is full of immoral people, should we burn that down too?
What better paid options are there than G Suite?
I guess someone in comments mentioned that it is something more like more capable women replacing less capable men. It is more reasonable in itself. But as I see it leads more inequality as more capable people get together, raise families and generate better income and lifestyle for them. At the same time situation for less capable people further deteriorates.

I think there would be studies about the impact of increasing professional double income couples on rising income inequalities in society at large.

I think that not being constantly exposed to things that "smell" has made it a lot easier to detect scents.

My daughters were always stunned and amazed at how fast I would know they'd snuck in and cracked open a bottle of "Nail Polish Remover" (acetone) or perfumes.

Didn't stop them from trying though. They tested me a zillion times with that stuff :D

I started buying them pure essential oils (and carrier oil) so they could make their own perfumes because those don't crap me out. They loved those, so that made life a lot easier for me.
Dropbox and Box employ a bit of a hybrid model.

For SMBs, there's a self service model that's low touch but for enterprises, the sales + customer service is very high touch and requires a lot more customization.

BI tools such as Periscope, Looker, Mode, Tableau, etc are also a bit of a hybrid. Usually starts off with an individual playing around or looking for a tool (pretty self service), but a full company deployment is much more hands on and high touch.

Following the framework that Patrick provides, odds are that any company that has "sales engineering" or "integration engineering" for a SaaS will likely be high touch (unless they're doing it wrong =D)
Yes. As Perlis put it:

but nothing of interest is easy.

Unlike Scheme, Python requires extensive research of the documentation in order to get the correct syntax and semantics even for the simple code in SICP. It's not just simple facts like operator precedence, it's the conceptual baggage of statements versus expressions. It's the one true way of iteration rather than recursion. It's the arbitrary distinctions of a core language, built in functions, a standard library and PiP. And Python has objects just because. But everything isn't an object.

SICP was an introductory programming class (though obviously being used at MIT allowed certain assumptions).

I very heavily rely on the "official" notebook extensions from https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensi...

This especially includes things like "Table of Contents", "Variable Inspector", "Ruler", and "Execute Time". How easy will it be to have all of this functionality in the JupyterLab notebooks? There's certainly advantages to having data/terminals/notebooks in an IDE-style layout, but for the moment it would still be two steps back, one step forward for me personally. This is to disparage the effort, JupyterLab clearly is the future!

One crucial skill you will need is feature engineering. Formal methods for it aren’t typically in data science classes. Still, it’s worth understanding in order to build ML applications. Unfortunately, there aren't many available tools today, but I expect that to change this year.

Deep learning addresses it to some extent, but isn’t always the best choice if you don’t have image / text data (eg tabular datasets from databases, log files) or a lot of training examples.

I’m the developer of a library called Featuretools (https://github.com/Featuretools/featuretools) which is a good tool to know for automated feature engineering. Our demos are also a useful resource to learn using some interesting datasets and problems: https://www.featuretools.com/demos
The idea that rising disability is a cause of declining labor force participation is interesting, and fits in with anecdotal data from what family members in medicine have told me. They basically phrase it as: If you're uneducated and poor, why would you work a low paying job with little hope of advancement when you could go on disability and collect a similar amount of money without working?

> Don't ride in the door zone. Don't let cars make you ride in the door zone. Take the car lane instead.

Please don’t do this. During the time that I commuted on a bicycle, it was very frustrating when other cyclists didn’t follow the rules of the road (zipping through stop signs is another example). It causes resentment in drivers. This leads to aggressive behavior towards cyclists.
I feel the same way. I would LOVE to bike to work in NYC, but I'm just too terrified that one wrong move will end my life. Several of my friends have been in close-call bike accidents. It's not something I want to risk every single day.

Begin with looking at U-6 as the actual unemployment rate, combine that with the gradual increase in labor force participation rate since the 70s (as people are compelled to work in two-income households to survive, etc) which has been collapsing in spite of the pressure only increasing further (disability? people becoming too broken to work anymore?) and the decline of real wages in lower percentiles against inflation and productivity gains.

To people in the real world all this is simply lived experience rather than abstractions. It's tangibly, obviously real.

The Model S (my Model S anyway) is expensive not because it's in the same conspicuous luxury segment as the high end of the Benz or Porsche line, but because it has expensive batteries, and because Tesla is using me, at my expense and with my consent, to gain market experience.

It's a product for early adopters. S class Benz products are not that.

My presence as a customer in this imagined luxury car price point segment is temporary. When it comes time to replace this Model S, I'm counting on several mass-market EV brands competing with each other.

If things keep going the the way they are now, Tesla will have a loyalty advantage in my next purchase choice. But that loyalty advantage probably won't be worth more than a few kilobucks.

The Model S is definitely not a plutocratmobile. I really like it. I'm a total fanboy. But there's road noise, and the front seat doors aren't plutocrat-grade comfortable, and the radio, and , and , and. The market analysts putting it in the plutocrat segment based only on price are making a mistake.

(Yeah, I know, first world problems. But I'm a proud early adopter. I also had a first-generation Honda Insight hybrid.)
