I think it's useful to draw a distinction between the concept of self and the sense of self. The concept of self refers to the physical being. That's purely a physical consideration: i.e. the physics you mention.

OTOH, the sense of self refers to sentience. It's more "who am I?" than "what am I?" For instance, it's what is fractured in dissociative disorders.

So, here, you can have your concept of self challenged without your sense of self being affected.

I first heard of Boyd my senior year of college. We got a new NROTC commanding officer who was one of Boyd's acolytes in the 1980s. It changed my life.

I discovered that being a good military officer wasnt about following orders. It was about doing what was best for your country. Sometimes the two coincided. Sometimes they didnt.

While the OODA loop is usually applied to outpacing an adversary, I applied it in a macro sense to my entire career.

I spend the first 8 years of my fighter pilot experience "observing and orienting" myself to the culture I found myself in. I saw good and bad leadership, useful and wasteful strategies.

Then, in year 9, I "decided and acted." Within two years, I had built three organizations that infused DoD with a mindset of innovation.

Then I left the military and started over. I went to graduate school and now find myself in consulting. In many ways, I'm Observing and re-orienting myself. I'm waiting for the right moment to "decide and act."

I find this mindset infuses nearly every problem I attempt to tackle. And as my pattern recognition increases from frequent observations and orientations, I can decide and act effectively ever more quickly.

I don't think this is actually true for most deep learning researchers. There is a lot of work now on incorporating knowledge bases and more domain info in learning, and it's likely to just get more and more common.
A traditional CM tool in this new paradigm (which i'm coining App Management before somebody steals the idea) would probably become more of a configuration fulfiller (CF) in this context. It fulfills the configuration requirements that the app dictates.

The CF could modify its behavior to fit a given platform. If you're on Windows, it will do operation X in one way, and on Linux a different way. You could describe to the CF the information it needs to fulfill requests - where are the big data volumes, where are the credentials, how should it connect remote resources, etc. When the app asks for something, the CF will have just enough information to figure out how to provide it for that case.

The app can label resources however it wants. For example, if it called tmpfile("my_logfile_access"), a CF could return it a temp file, and record in some datastore that application X asked for a logfile 'my_logfile_access' and that it was provided. If you want to process logs, ask the CF where the 'my_logfile_access' file/directory is. If you abstract away the need to tag it and just have a function called logfiles() or something, you wouldn't even need to know this tag - your app could just write logs with some tag metadata, so when you go to process the logs, you figure out what it is after you've opened the logs.

Same for data, and ports, etc. Why should I have a Vagrantfile that maps ports? The app knows what ports it wants to offer. And why use numerical ports? We've had /etc/services for like 30 years and yet nobody seems to realize you can use a name instead of a port number and stop worrying about manually mapping numbers around. Honestly, so much of modern devops stuff is backwards.
LOL. EXACTLY! :) No.. @ password time, we do the normal path PLUS we take the plaintext password, encrypt it with SHA1, see if it's in the pwned database, if it is, warn user. Then we throw the SHA1 away.

So sure, it's stored in memory as a SHA1 hash, briefly, but that same memory has the plaintext password...briefly so :)

Our normal auth path just attacks AD, so we use AD as the primary store for passwords.

After it's been in production for a while, and we see it's still working like gangbusters, then we will turn on that @ password change time, if it's in the DB, we will ban that password from being used. Probably in the next week or two, it depends.
> unlike Intellij, which sells its IDE

The fancy version costs money, yes, but the community edition is free and Apache licensed. Here's the source code: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

> is there another major cause for most of the world drifting to the inferior choice?

I've used both Eclipse and IntelliJ, as well as JetBrain's "ReSharper" tool in Visual Studio, and while the UI is obviously different, and in some ways better, some ways worse than Eclipse, the actual functionality and feature set of IntelliJ is clearly superior to Eclipse, especially all the refactoring and code smell tools.

The feature list is just incredible and constantly increasing: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/

Also, IdeaVim is way superior to Eclim, if you care about Vim keybindings and modal editing.
That's still easily solved by providing arenas or barriers: allocate anything that needs to persist first, then mark, do your shortlived task and throw away anything above the mark in memory.

> What do the meta-studies have to say about statins and life expectancy?

For long term maintenance, they're definitely recommended. Near EOL is a bit different, but I don't know the guidelines.

> Also, why isn't dietary adjustment the first-line treatment for high cholesterol?

It is, but only in conjunction with medication. It seems that having a poor diet (e.g. high saturated fats) has long-lasting effects on cholesterol levels, and short-term dietary changes do little to "repair the damage", so to speak. Additionally, we know very little about what other factors affect HDL/LDL levels. For example, for a long time, there was concern that dietary cholesterol had an impact on serum levels, but I believe now the consensus is that this is false.

Cholesterol is complex, and while its role in disease is what gets attention, it's a vital compound with a number of downstream effects. In most cells, it acts as a modulator of membrane structure and function: absolutely crucial aspects of every cell's job, regardless of what tissue they're in. My point is twofold: first, statins likely have unknown "off-target" effects on cholesterol synthesis throughout the body (which potentially speaks to the life expectancy issue); and second, the comorbidity of high cholesterol and obesity is likely more complex than "bad diet."

Of course, keep in mind that having a "good diet" in the cholesterol sense (low saturated fats, possibly low dietary cholesterol) has been shown to be a good idea regardless. It's temporary changes to diet that seem ineffective, at a population level.

Kinda agree about it being annoying.

I think MFA is important and have it enabled for every service that offers it, but we have MFA set up for our CLI access to AWS and I used to let out a volume of curses frequently when my token expired.

I eventually ended up adding a bash alias “damn”[0] that pipes my current MFA token into the AWS CLI so whenever it expires I can just type “damn” and be logged back in.

I like the magic link approach Slack and Medium use - although I have frequently cursed the inconvenience of having to log into gmail.

In theory, with unlimited resources and fully automated systems, there should be no infrastructure problems to firefight. But probably even with limited resources we shouldn't need to firefight so much if it was engineered correctly.

Ok, granted, this much is true. But so far as I know, you'd have to be using npm@next to have gotten 5.7.0, not just the regular npm package. I'll fully agree that npm should not have introduced a bug like this, but how great of an idea is it to run bleeding edge versions in production?
> I am trying to clear up what appear to be hugely misleading assumptions about how PDFs work.

I'm sure you are. But in the process you are spamming an only tangentially related subthread with the clear implication that PDFs store editting history in the way Word documents do (they don't). This is doing the opposite of what you want.

No one here is talking about "editing PDFs" or making PDFs "secure from editting", so your points are only confusing the matter.

Consider Ethereum's stats (and other similar PoS minting methods):

Now imagine a financial system where all the wealthy have to do simply own money (spawned from software or premine) to get more money. Or where voting is done by merely by controlling a large sum of money/tokens.

Since I'm not familiar with networkmanager in combination with other config: what happens if I configure some network interface using Cockpit that is already defined in /etc/network/interfaces.d/*? Will it just throw an error or could it bring my system into a broken/undefined state so that it wouldn't be reachable after the next reboot?

If the latter is the case it would probably be unwise to install/use Cockpit on an already configured system.

What is the metric for determining what data gets through when there is more data than what the transiting connection can handle? The internet is not one single network. It's a series of interconnected network that are operated under different policies and owned by various companies.

I'm assuming you have an understanding of BGP and peering. When peering is established between companies there's a general understanding that peering is free if the data flow in each direction is approximately equal. It's a mutual benefit so both engage in the peering. If however data is predominantly flowing in one direction (early Netflix for example) then companies are eating costs (Netflix's costs) to continue to provide Netflix's data to their customers. If you force ISPs to peer in these sorts of arrangements (Net Neutrality) you are shifting costs from Netflix on to the ISPs. ISPs then need to charge their customers more even if they are not customers of Netflix. This was eventually fixed historically by forcing Netflix to to pay for peering despite the large outrage at the time about Comcast "throttling Netflix" and then "forcing them to pay to stop throttling" which misrepresented what was going on.

This is just one example.

I fully agree with you and it's nice to see that someone else is thinking pragmatically and not ending up arguing over three letter agencies.

If your machine with the password manager gets pwned then it's probably game over, and you can do that remotely for a networked device. So at the very least it's reasonable to compare the physical security of a paper notebook and a computer.

Yes you might have encrypted the device but as everyone is so fond of saying 'once you have physical access it's game over anyway', so by that logic the notebook and computer are as secure as one another as they both rely on physical security. Maybe the computer is even less secure as you can attack it over the network!

It's important to plan for disaster recovery though. That's probably a more reasonable fear - something like fire or accidentally spilling coffee over the book would be pretty bad. Maybe a backup copy in a waterproof fire safe would be a 'good enough' solution for priority accounts like email from where you can probably reset/recover all other accounts.

My experience is that I don't feel good after exercise at first. I have to keep it up for multiple weeks, until my body actually gets fit enough that I can pass some inner threshold of a Real Workout, and get my reward of a happy kind of exhaustion.

I'm currently out of shape and fighting to try and get myself to go exercise regularly enough that this happens again. It's not easy.
This 4 billion dollars and all the money wasting on power and ASIC chips is a direct tax on the bitcoin ecosystem. This is the incentive you and your currency/consensus model have to beat bitcoin. In addition to the engineering problem, the number of people worldwide who prioritize environmental preservation mean that a currency that can preserve or even improve the environment are going to be preferred. What if we changed proof of work to be proof of not-cutting-down rainforests? 100 secure micro-satellites circle the globe taking pictures of areas prone to deforestation and distribute currency based on the areas not being logged?
I argue that you need both domain-general and domain-specific data. Most domains you could apply NLP to don't have billions of words to train on, especially if the language of the data isn't English.

I have to say I find addiction to gambling quite fascinating as I get absolutely no pleasure from gambling. The thinking a gambler must have is so different to my thinking that it is impossible for me to imagine what they are thinking.

If they maintain the current trend of lowering costs, keeping headcount growth in line with revenue, and continuing to achieve economies of scale in sales and marketing then they will show a profit in the next couple of years. They don't promise any of this in the S-1 because they need to be extremely conservative in their statements to the public.

To be honest I'm not super familiar with the comps to know how good or bad their numbers are relative to others. But just from their own reporting they look like they are on track. That's not by accident. It's very likely that constructing this trend has been a major focus for the company in the last few years.

Both of these are excellent. Even if you don't want to follow these programs exactly at least grab Rippetoe's book "Starting Strength" (3rd edition). It is a great reference for all the big lifts - very well illustrated with detailed explanations. Getting stronger (especially as you get older) is critical to good quality of life.

Once you have hit your limits on those two programs move to Wendler's 5/3/1 :) I've done SS and now 5/3/1 for the last 4-5 years and I'm the strongest I've been in my life in my early 40s!

EDIT: Also another great thing about Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5 is that it doesn't require much of a time commitment. You can easily be in/out of the gym in an hour or less - if you are not goofing off, 40-45 minutes is pretty typical.
I'm no nutritionist, so I can't speak with any kind of authority; I've mostly just cut out fried food entirely, as well as most meat (except special occasions), and eat a lot more vegetables. I have no idea if it's the healthiest way to live, but I think it's certainly a positive delta.

> And giving people housing is important, that's why the laws > often favor the person renting, not the owner.

As though if you think housing is important, all a policy maker should have to think about is the first order effect of protecting the renter's rights.

You did a lot more than say they exist. You said housing is important, that's why they exist. As though rental protection somehow advances the important goal of providing housing. One doesn't need more than that to identify who you are when it comes to reasoning about housing.

You don't have to sue people if they recognize that you invented and patented something. I've licensed patented tech to folks who range from solo devs to large nonprofits, and discussions never veered toward litigation at any point.

I wonder how well capsule networks could deal with this, considering they're more robust than traditional CNNs towards other sorts of adversarial attacks. My guess is that one-pixel changes are going to do very little to alter pose information (though they will still alter the confidence of the feature existing), and so caps nets should be more robust here as well. Does anyone know if my intuition is correct?

The burden of proof is on the creation of regulation, because it requires active effort to implement and maintain.

The OP said that this shows why regulation gets good results, and I challenge the evaluation by saying we have seen the benefit of this particular regulation, but not the cost.

You argue that is hard to know both the cost and the benefit of regulations. I argue that if you cant gauge it, then you can never conclude if its good or bad.

I rather put the responsibility of proving itself to the guys with the battons.
